USS Sharikahr: Mission Transcript #389
MISSION PROLOGUE: The USS Sharikahr has begun a plan to bring peace and prosperity to the Nova Arcadia colony and its surrounding space.  After tiring of several attacks from the Alvar, the Sharikahr has set course for their homeworld in order to request a ceasefire.  The ship plans to pass by on the way to the Duergar homeworld, where they will contact their allies and ask for their assistance.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::spots Sin and winks::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:

CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Nods a greeting and returns to trying to make contact.::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks the power reading on the warp engines::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Monitoring the situation from the Bridge ::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Unconsciously notes the tension radiating around the bridge in its silence.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: Thinks after this we can grab a holiday on Risa?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow as she looks over::  CIV:  Holiday?  Risa?  :: does not hide the slight look of dismay.::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, comms remain silent.  I am sending the request to Reginn.  It is possible their communications abilities are limited.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: It may also be possible that Reginn cannot respond to us.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::watches the sensor info come in. Raises an eyebrow::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: We may wish to issue a more general hail to their world or any ship assets in orbit.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks to make sure they still are on course and that there isn't anything in the way::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Skipper sensors are showing light in system traffic from the Alvar home system. Also picking up what might be light skirmishes at the outer limit of our range.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO: I had... hoped... that this comm goes no further then the Duergar.  I will broaden the wave length.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: Just think you, me and a secluded beach
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::continues to monitor the sensors and COM's::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: Skirmishes?  Unfortunate.  Likely Alvar and Duergar.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: As the captain finishes, quietly:: CIV:  What would we do on a secluded beach on Risa?  There is nothing left there unexplored.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Seems that way skipper. Mighty hospitable bunch ain't they?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns his head ever so slightly:: CSO: I have much to make up for. And I believe time alone together would be a nice place to start
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::pulls a stick of gum out of his pocket and begins to absently chew on it::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: adjusts power to the LR sensor suite::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: over hears the conversation between the CIV and CSO and thinks that these Vulcan can be awful dense at times::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: When she was a child, she had liked 'vacations', but as an adult, she found them problematic.::

ACTION: The hails to the Duergar receive a response from a Duergar orbital outpost.

FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Cmdr you have a course towards the sensor reading?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Sending them to helm now ::sends the co-ordinates to the helm::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Incoming transmission
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: On screen.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::puts the Transmission up::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  Duergar orbital outpost.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:; receives the coordinates:: CO: Captain do you want to get closer to the sensor reading or not?
Grunn says:
@COM: Sharikahr: USS Sharikahr, my name is Grunn.  I know of the man Reginn, and have been authorized to speak with you.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::looks up from his console::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: watches the screen as the conversation goes on::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: As the captain takes the comm::  FCO:  Which sensor readings?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: The ones that the CIV has picked up.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Grunn: Mister Grunn.  The Alvar have launched several attacks on our colony and we cannot continue to live under those conditions.  We have come in an attempt to reach a peace between our three worlds.  I believe the Duergar would be interested in such a thing, as it would end the fighting from the Alvar
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: nods::  FCO:  We have not been requested to intervene in another species internal affairs, nor given the current situation, do we want to.  Our concern is trying to make peace with the Alvar.  If they should make a request for assistance, then we should reconsider.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Grunn: However, we are uncertain the best way to approach the Alvar and were hoping you would be of assistance.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: Don't ya just love diplomacy?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Yeah sure however what ever happened to just wanting to check things out>
Grunn says:
@COM: Sharikahr: The Alvar are very likely to reject such a request, Captain.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Grunn: Even so, we must try.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CIV:  There is logic to it.  Would you want an outsider interfering just because they are there?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles:: CSO: You know what i missed about you most?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow in curiosity::  CIV:  What?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles:: CSO: That cool, calm Vulcan logic
Grunn says:
@COM: Sharikahr: When the Alvar and Duergar made a temporary alliance, the Alvar approached us.  You may need to be bold and approach their homeworld, but it is most likely to end in your destruction if a fleet is able to attack you.  The subspace bands they monitor are slightly lower wavelengths than this.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CIV:  Interesting.  I was under the impression most humans found it annoying. Then you would enjoy living on Vulcan in general?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Sees the report coming in from one of the shuttles:: CSO: Ma'am you are not going to like this. But one of the shuttles has reported in and they say that there is a somewhat large Alvar fleet in what appears to be war game. Also it reports that there are several capital vessel included of which have not been seen before.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO:  So there are no others involved.  How many vessels?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles evilly:: CSO: That depends on whom I'm with.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: I believe the shuttle is still taking a count and haven't reported exact numbers.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: glances briefly at Adam:: FCO:  As soon as they have a number, let us know.  Also, are they certain it is war games and not internal fighting?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::smiles at Sin::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::turns back to the sensors::
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Grunn: If we are able to make contact with the Alvar, who amongst the Duergar should we contact?  Do you maintain a diplomatic corps?  Or someone in the government?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: Ma'am they have just reported that while they can get exact numbers they believe it to be between 25 and 30 ships.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: To no one in particular::  Fairly poor odds if we are needed.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: While the shuttle couldn't get close enough to be sure with out being detected they believed it to be war games.
Grunn says:
@COM: Sharikahr: We do not maintain a diplomatic group.  I will ensure that you are provided names of our government after I discover the appropriate person myself.  We will be in touch later.  We wish you luck with the Alvar.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO:  It would have been more to our advantage had it been internal fighting.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: feeling this to be less than possible ::  COM: Grunn: Thank you, Mister Grunn.  We look forward to furthering relationships with the Duergar as well.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CIV: Can you deduce anything from sensors of what is going on?

ACTION: Grunn makes a motion similar to a nod and the communications channel closes.

FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: True and maybe the shuttle can get us more information later but for now that is all they have.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: shakes his head:: Self: Welcome to the little big horn lads
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: over hears the CIV:: CIV: Little big horn?
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  The shuttles believe the events they are watching are war games.  There are approximately twenty-five to thirty ships which includes capital vessels.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
FCO: A battle from ancient Earth's history
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: Guess I should brush up on my earth history.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: Preparations for attacks, no doubt.  FCO: Commander, make a note of the communications channel we used with the Duergar, then focus our subspace emitters on bands just slightly lower.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO:  The Little Big Horn was an atrocity.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: more like a massacre and major tactical blunder. Basically don't underestimate the other guy
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Sir :: checks the Com channel and then adjust the band to one just slightly lower::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CIV:  Custer deserved what he got... my regret are for the innocents that were involved.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Where was our shuttle when they detected the fleet?
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CSO: Custer was arrogant. Deserved what he got that lad did
CO_Captain_Savar says:
CIV: When we get the information from the shuttle, I would like you to review their intelligence and determine how much of a threat we are facing.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: quietly::  CIV:  My father's people were not involved, but I honor those tribes that were.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: It was towards the left side of the Alvar/ Duergar systems Sir. Sort of counter clockwise from our position.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: So if they made a run for the colony, they have a longer distance than we would.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
:: looks at Sin and simply nods:: CO: Aye skipper. I'll process the data ASAP
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CIV: I remember reading something about Custer I believe he was a tactical idiot.
CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Set course towards the Alvar system.  Use our highest warp speed and drop out an AU from their homeworld.  CIV: Take us to yellow alert status.  Monitor for any Alvar vessels that begin to head for us for an attack.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Yes Sir
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: There was nothing good that could be said about the man as far as she was concerned.  But kept that thought to herself.::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Aye sir, taking us to yellow alert :: initiates the alert::
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
::keeps sensors watching the Alvar::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: Continues scanning the area all around::
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Sir setting course now. :: sets course and engages warp 9.7::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
FCO:  ETA?
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CSO: About 12 minutes Ma'am.
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
:: simply nods::
CSO_LtCmdr_So'tsoh says:
CO:  Do you have your speech ready, not to mention who you will be contacting?  The Duergar were not exactly of much assistance in that area.

ACTION: The Sharikahr makes the short high warp jump and drops in the Alvar system.  There are a few shuttle sized vessels nearby, but they immediately begin to scatter at the sight of the Starfleet vessel.

CO_Captain_Savar says:
FCO: Open a channel.
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: opens the channel:: CO Channel opened captain.
CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Screen is clear skipper. Seems they don't like the sight of us
CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Alvar: Alvar, this is the Starfleet vessel USS Sharikahr.  We have come to seek a peace between our races.

ACTION: No response is evident.  Long range sensors detect several vessels at the edge of the system breaking off their border conflicts and heading back for the homeworld.

CIV_Cmdr_Wall says:
CO: Skipper, several vessels at the border have turned around and are heading our way
FCO_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sets in an escape course just in case they need to get out quickly::
