Is that going to change when Collins becomes a Captain?
They're definitely going to have to rewrite the Starfleet First Contact regs....

Thanks for the cards and support. Still dealing with many legal and financial issues regarding Mom and her passing. Lots of loose ends to tie up. Very frustrating. Our elder care attorney has been quite helpful -- even though he's also been very expensive! I just want to put all of this behind me and start fresh.
Not sure when I'll be ready for Trek stuff, but will keep you posted. Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday season and a great 2016!
only the gender of the seducee.Is that going to change when Collins becomes a Captain?
Hugs to WES
So, Cooper, Collins, Rangin, A1, A2, Rawlings. That leaves one seat for three people?
All my best wishes to you and your loved ones, WES. We miss you.
Best wishes to WES - here's hoping for a speedy return to normality.

I don't believe we missed that beaming back is the oh-so-sensible thing to do, especially as Cheverez is beaming over his own Engineers to continue work on the Naradraen.:
Congrats choie - you got to solve all the problems in one go

Time check please. Red Alert sounded at, what, 0300? So now it's 0600?
That sounds about right. The characters are going to need some rest.

Speaking of patience, this is the longest ten minutes ever.
It's not the shuttle ride that takes the time, it's the unloading of baggage afterwards. The giant kitty ball of wool is causing a few conniptions.

Just curious, but did Kylah get invited to the briefing or no?

Which Star Trek command personnel are you most like?

I got Kira Nerys
I did, too, but I don't think I'm as hot-tempered as she is.
Colonel Kira Nerys is a product of the Bajoran resistence. Serving as first officer and Bajoran liaison officer on Star Trek: Deep Space 9, Colonel Kira is strongly influenced by the oppression and brutality suffered by her people during the Cardassian Occupation. She was pivotal in helping establish the relationship Bajor has with Starfleet.
Kira is often regarded as quick-to-anger and thought of as hot-headed. She has spent so much of her life fighting that it has almost become her only instinct when confronted. She is deeply loyal to those with whom she serves, and she is not afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
Heh, I go to be Captain Benjamin Sisko - I guess this means you guys work for me now
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
You lucky bastard! What was the description for him?
The Sisko:
Captain Sisko, the commanding officer in Star Trek: Deep Space 9, is deeply scarred by the loss of his wife during the Borg incursion at Wolf 359. Years later, he finds himself in command of an alien space station at the furthest reaches of explored space. Nestled along the border of Cardassian space, Sisko leads a group of mismatched crew members to become one cohesive unit that performs courageously during the Dominion War.
Sisko is a critical thinker and highly reflective, some might even say spiritual. He makes calculated decisions most of the time, but he is not above acting impulsively when the situation (or his own personal code) demands it.

Cool - thanks.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard was the star of Star Trek: The Next Generation for seven seasons and four feature films. He served as commanding officer of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D and NCC-1701-E.
Unlike Captain Kirk, Captain Picard is far more calculated in his responses. He is more likely to be patient and weigh his options before making a decision. Picard values rules, principles, and doctrine, and he is an explorer at heart.
Better still! I always preferred Picard to Sisko, all in all.
I'll be visiting my in-laws in Vermont this week and my Internet access may be spotty. I'll try to post at least once daily.
have a safe trip and a good week
Have a fun journey.

Collins' spidey sense starts tingling, and she reaches out with her mind, a trick she learned in Jedi training, to calm Graham and Rangin. She then jumps up onto the table, pulls out her wand and shouts "Specialis Revelio", which causes the two Aelyrr to reveal themselves as Zygons.
:: stunned ::
But... but... how... did you know?
Well, it's nearly Christmas, so I'm likely to be intermittent for the next week or two. Have a fun holiday all.

Likewise, and thanks! A cool Yule to all those so inclined.
I have to ask - is this a typo? A shuttle craft doing Warp 7 or should that be 0.7? I didn't think shuttles got much beyond Warp 2 in this era?
What's powering it or did it have three Shredded Wheat for breakfast?
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
It's a Klingon shuttle. They cheat.
AND COLLINS WAS RIGHT!!!!!
Ah, it's quantum plot powered
That remains to be seen. I mean why transport the codex off ship when they can just use one of their own shuttles to get away. I'm betting the mercs were sold out by one of their own.

We earlier discussed and decided that Starfleet shuttles could go up to Warp 4. This Klingon shuttle can and is going faster.
*looks back into the past*
Griefius Maximus - those are some high speeds being considered thereNot to mention this shuttle is going faster than the average cruising speed of the Constitution class.
I want one.

Nebulae are full of cosmic gases. A shockwave of any kind could compress the gases. How do stars ignite within nebulae without oxygen? All the gases need are to be pushed together enough, and the waves of energy from photon torpedoes could do the trick. Or did I spend all those hours watching "How The Universe Works" for nothing?
Nebulae likely to create stars are so intensely compact/dense that nuclear fission is imminent. We haven't gotten any indication that this nebula is that advanced/dense--if it were, the temperature inside the nebula would be so crazy hot that we might as well just let the shuttle enter and burn itself to a crisp, because nothing's coming out of a 15,000,000 Celsius nebula (the temp. at which nuclear fission takes place).
At the Yorktown's current position at the very edge of a nebula, I'm not convinced a torpedo, photon or not, would be enough to compress enough of the nebula to start the process. Think of all the matter flying through space, like large asteroids. Wouldn't they be barraging the nebula's components all the time? But even in a nebula virtually pregnant with star-stuff, an asteroid isn't enough to trigger, uh, labor.
That's what Carl Sagan taught me, anyway! It's possible that Star Trek physics work differently, of course, depending on whatever the writers want.
No, you're right, choie. Think of this nebula as being very much like the one in a certain well-known 1982 science documentary:

A very happy, healthy New Year to you all!
Thanks, EH, and happy new year to everyone too. Weather finally got a bit cold here in NY, though it feels like we're never gonna see any snow.
which would be just fine with me, tyvm. I have three appointments this month, and dealing with my Jazzy in snowy slushy weather is not my idea of fun. I just wish the sun would stay out for a few hours and warm the air up a bit.
Sunny, clear but very cold here today. 2016 is off to a pretty good start.
Miserable, wet, grey and cold. In other words: typical English weather.
Happy New Year all.

Happy 2016, all!
And we have four Trek stamps to look forward to here in the U.S.: http://www.startrek.com/article/firs...oming-for-2016
50 year anniversary this year. Huzzah!!

Don't remind me. Star Trek premiered three weeks after I did.
Game-wise, I'm hoping to give general_urko time to decide whether he wants Graham on board the shuttle mission or not, so hopefully nothing will happen before he gets to post?Sorry CIAS, Velir's very clearly best used on the ship. Collins too, obviously.
pssssh, choie, you're a baby. I was 8 years old when it premiered.
and now I get to feel young again
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I think Collins is jumping the gun a bit. Onn's plan is for them to get the shuttle ready to launch, tow it in the tractor beam, and then the Yorktown goes fast to pass and turn around so they're facing the Klingons head-on.
The Yorktown then swoops toward the Klingons, very close, and then Collins hits them with a very light phaser blast--not the torpedo, which risks destroying the Klingon ship (and thus the Codex).
Simultaneously, the Tesla is released from the tractor beam and coasts underneath the Klingons, unnoticed thanks to the massive Yorktown probably filling the Klingons' viewscreen and Collins's phaser tap.
Thanks to this distraction, the Tesla will be positioned to catch the Klingons by surprise from underneath, using precise small blasts to get rid of their shields.
Anyway that was what Onn planned. If things have changed, that's up to Singh!
You're all doing fine. Keep going!
Down on deck 20, Dobson continues her patrol, oblivious to the goings on elsewhere on her ship.
