((Set before the last sim)) "You have to understand the mentality we had at that point in the war. I think all of us - even the combat-hardened veterans from the FKR War in the Milky Way - had gotten used to the idea of peace in that short breath we had. We were just simply thrust back into the state of conflict in which you didn't know if the person you knew who was shipping out on another ship or going out on patrol would come back." "During all of this, Canterbury and I were ticked off at Coronado's chief engineer - rightly so. It is a personal insult to any department head to have another waltz in and begin messing around with your operations; tactical moreso given the situation." "Neither of us were happy with the situation, and I was fairly certain his little last-minute experiment would fail - after all, if the best minds of the Alliance and the Defenders before that couldn't find a solution, how likely was it that one man onboard a frigate in the middle of what was becoming a chaotic collapsing front could accomplish what we needed?" "Sometimes I still marvel that the doctor was able to pull ANYTHING off while having to work with Farley..." Excerpt from "So For This I Get To Wear A Phaser?", Autobiography by Maiko D'rall |
