[QUOTE]Originally posted by Identity Crisis: [QB] [QUOTE][qb][b]Question Four Guest Lecture by MinutiaeMan[/b] [b]A)[/b] Respond to one or more of the scenarios created by the other participants in Part (D) of Question Three.[/qb][/QUOTE]Well I started with Timo's so I should continue. All the evidence is pointing towards my initial reaction being correct - there are no JH, just some idiots pretending to be JH. But we have bigger problems now. They want panic? I'll give them panic. All ships entering the Jovalis or Lucrezea systems will be stopped and each crewmember/passenger will be scanned. Anyone trying to break the quarantine will be considered hostile and treated accordingly. I will strongly urge the Joval, Zechs and Bifour Governments to follow a similar course of action. But the chances are that we will find nothing. And there is a time limit on how long we can keep this sort of action going. So we need to find the core of the extremists and capture them. That will require a joint Starfleet Intelligence/Bifour Security operation. Which should be fun to arrange. I'll also look up Dr Bashir's vaccine for the Teplan Blight and see if my medical teams can modify it to produce a universal vaccine and/or cure. I'll also arrange for the existing vaccine to be given to all pregnent mothers so that their children will be safe. But this is probably a wasted effort as I'll bet that the bioweapon isn't really the Teplan Blight/Quickening in the same way that the JH ship wasn't really operated by JH. [QUOTE][qb]1) How will you redeploy your task force once you hear of the fighting?[/q][/QUOTE]See http://steve.pugh.net/fleet/gamma-4.gif The Hotspur and Indefatigable will remain on station along the border. The Ataturk and the two Sabres will move to the Jovalis system. The Aristophanes will take over as much of the role of the Sabres as she can. The Ushos will continue in her role of transporting in material for the DS12 upgrade. Though she should also bring in emergency mediacal supplies, etc. [QUOTE][qb]2) Monarch Hrrays does agree to a brief private conference with you as the local representative of the Federation, to discuss the situation.[/qb][/QUOTE]I will tell him that the Federation will not interfere in his internal problems so long as they do not spill over into Federation space. I will tell him that my priority as a Starfleet officer is to protect the lives of Federation citizens and hence I am stationing starships in the Jovalis system to deter the conflict from spreading there. I will tell him that the economies of the sector are so delicately balanced that this war could ruin not only his own world but others as well. I will tell him that I am prepared to offer humanitarian aid to <em>anyone</em> who asks for it. I will make an open offer to act as a mediator in negotaiating a peaceful settlement. [QUOTE][qb][b]C)[/b] Since the Federation does not have any high-ranking civilian officials in the region, it falls to you to set the Federation's policy and make sure that Starfleet is not dragged into any local conflict.[/qb][/QUOTE]My policy is exactly what I told the Monarch it would be. [QUOTE][qb]1) There's also a vague reference to a rogue group called the Jovalisi Freedom Brigade which is using a group of Federation-built small craft (think Maquis-type ships here) to aid the rebel cause. What will you do in response to this intelligence?[/qb][/QUOTE]About the arms smuggling, I'll assign security officers from various ships to 'assist' the Jovalisi police forces in tracking down the smugglers. About the JFB, if they ever come inside the Jovalisi system then I'll apprehend them, but if they stay outside then it's not my problem. Even if the ships were obtained illegally inside the Federation there is nothing I can do about them as long as they're outside UFP territory. [QUOTE][qb]2) The Jovalisi Merchants' Guild requests Starfleet protection of their ships near Jovalis and the immediate lifting of the blockade over the western continent for neutral vessels.[/qb][/QUOTE]I will remind the Monarch of just how much hus world is dependent upon trade and point out that it doesn't matter if he crushes a few rebelsif in doing so he ruins his economy. Beyond that there is nothing I can do. The Jovali have every right to impose whatever custom checks and restrictions they desire at the boundary of their own space. [QUOTE][qb]3) In a surprise operation, a squad of rebel commandos manages to commandeer the Jovali heavy cruiser [i]Dralliw[/i]. The ship disappears into the asteroid belt.[/qb][/QUOTE]Is this a real asteroid belt or a SciFi one? If it's a real one then tracking the ship will be easy. If it's a SciFi one then it won't. I'll send a communication to the captured ship telling them that they are NOT welcome in Jovalisi space. They are a combatant in the Jovali civil war and will be treated exactly the same as any of the royal forces if they try to extend the war into UFP space. [QUOTE][qb]4) Leaders from several of the habitats ask you to provide assistance in order to maintain security.[/qb][/QUOTE]I already have security forces spread throughout the habitats (see C1 above) so these can now 'advise' on tactical matters pertaining to confining the rioters. I do not have enough forces to supply additional riot control troops. I can use my replicators to supply additional, maybe higher tech, security equipment - scanners, portable force field generators, stun weapons, etc. that may be useful. [QUOTE][qb][b]D)[/b] The general estimate for the habitats as a whole is 3 weeks before a supply shortage develops.[/qb][/QUOTE]My engineers may be able to upgrade the life support and replicator systems to support more people. The Ushos can bring in a limited amount of additional supplies. I can encourage both sides on Joval to come to terms so that the refugess can return home. I can ask the other governments in the sector to provide emergency aid. [QUOTE][qb]1) They simply aren't fast enough for a true interstellar journey, especially considering the overcrowding on board. What will you do with them?[/qb][/QUOTE]Request additional transports from SFC, ask for assistance from the Bifour, Lucrezea and Zechs governments. Continue to try and make the Jovali end this stupid conflict. Recativate the USS Rigorous, no need for warp or weapons. I want to use her as a medical station - crew quarters and cargo bays can be converted to wards. [QUOTE][qb]2) A Jovali passenger ship enters Jovalis space, pursued by one of the surviviing Jovali frigates[/qb][/QUOTE]I tell the frigate to back off or I will open fire. I've been consistent about keeping combatants out of Jovalisi space and there is no reason to change now. [QUOTE][qb]3) A group of raiders have taken advantage of the confusion in the past weeks. It's possible that the raiders are operating out of the asteroid field... and may even be using the cloaking technology that was stolen from G'Sall a few months back.[/qb][/QUOTE]As I've said before the sort of technology used to hide a survey team from low tech natives is not the same as a starship cloak. And if the asteroid belt is physically realistic (i.e. one rock ever thousand kilometers or so) then it provides very little cover. So I can keep an eye on things with sensors and intercept the raiders as the enter UFP or interstellar space. I will not enter Jovali space. [QUOTE][qb]4) There are a series of bomb attacks in various Jovalisi orbital habitats. How do you ensure the security of your home base, Deep Space Twelve? [/qb][/QUOTE]Who the **** is planting bombs on habitats? With security officers already spread throughout the system I hope I'll be able to catch these morons. DS12 will stay open as normal. There will be increased security scans, etc. but we can not do anything that would harm our aid efforts. [QUOTE][qb][b]E)[/b] After weeks of fighting, the royal faction's ground forces prevail.[/qb][/QUOTE]I'll encourage the Monarch to be leniant, and inform him that UFP aid to, and trade with Joval may be adversely affected if he is not. I'll encourage the Jovalisi to stay calm and remind them that they have the full support of the UFP when it comes to caring for the refugees, etc. I'll keep tracking the Rebel cruiser and will still not allow it to enter UFP space.
