[19:05] =Sim Briefing!= Please type "ack" after you've read it... [19:06] Stardate 240301.06: "Marching Orders", Part 1, by Jester. [19:06] SUMMARY: Our problems in M64 may have only just begun. [19:06] ack [19:06] The war is apparently over. S'buuth, in becoming a Watcher, called destruction down on the "birdies," now revealed to be one of the leading races in the Pfhor Hegemony. In the process, chaos was unleashed against the Hegemony as their one-time S'pht captives break free of their bonds. [19:06] The chaos is spreading elsewhere as well. The Hegemony occupation forces on Reor'sa were apparently driven all but insane by the collapse of the Hegemony. We have managed to neutralize the occupation forces there, but not before they laid waste to Churchill Downs and Fisher's Landing. [19:06] With Reor'sa secured, we have a bit of breathing room, and we're going to need it. Churchill Downs has been ransacked, and thousands of people are without food or shelter. Before we can do anything else, we need to see to the safety and support of the Reorsan natives and braids on the surface... [19:06] Briefing complete. [19:06] Ack! [19:06] ack [19:06] ack!

Colonel, to answer your question, let's assume we're starting four or five days after the events of last week. As I said, the situation in the Defense Ministry has been taken care of, but there are still a very small number of Hunters and Hounds loose in the countryside that have not yet been mopped up.

But, without any real evidence... [20:34] <[COMC_Ironside]> Kel> Anything within the fire zone is either dead or dying, Admiral.

[20:36] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:36] RR> Captain, my personal opinon as a trained psychological analyst is that he at least believes what he's telling us. Now, as to the verasity of what he believes, I can't say. But he certainly believes it's so. It's also my opinion that he would be better here than roaming around with people who don't know him. I can have Dr. Reed or Dr. Dyson check him out, if you like... [20:36] Q> ::exits her quarters, heading for the turbolift:: [20:36] RR> ::grumbles, having heard Drexler's voice:: [20:36] <[CRS1_Drexler]> Kel> +taps+ Captain, Savant seems to be malfunctioning.

[20:38] RR> ::whispers:: What the hell is wrong with Savant? [20:38] Kel> Colonel, I've been meaning to talk to you. With the fall of the Hegemony, we're going to need to reconstitute the Defender ground forces... make them more formal. Certainly increase their size.

More letters to Earth. [20:39] <[CRS3_Savant]> ::The program was crippled- without the ability to process commands, it was entirely unable to continue operating normally:: [20:39] Kel> Vice Admiral Aldur is of a mind to put you in charge of a Division, and I'd tend to agree.

The Savant Network is suffering some technical difficul- ::There the message cut off:: [20:43] <[CRS1_Drexler]> Kel> +taps+ Kari, Savant is malfunctioning, and I think it could be serious. Can you check into it there? Work with engineering if you need to. [20:43] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:43] Q>{{feels Sav's "distress", begins to cry}} [20:43] RR> Based on precedent, Commander Tlaloco would have to take a grade reduction and be placed on probation for two years at least before he could take an active role in starship operations. That's best case, assuming we find evidence of tampering with his mind. And you know how touchy that sort of thing can be....

[20:46] <[COMC_Ironside]> Kel> ::looks over at Drexler:: You're a wonderful pitchman, Commander. ::Deadpan:: [20:46] RR> Admiral Wallace gave me his old case file to look over yesterday. He managed to avoid probation but only because he had saved a Federation ally world and was vouched for by Admirals Marshall and Aldur at his second hearing. [20:46] Kel> ::gives Ironside a crooked smile:: Yeah, Aldur trapped me more or less the same way. I couldn't stand the thought of reporting to "Admiral" Mitchell... ::exhales:: And now, I wonder had I chosen differently if she would have lived.

What is it that Tlaloco wants to come of all this? [20:47] ::scans space:: [20:47] RR> Tlaloco doesn't have a standard board of inquiry to stand before, and he has few advocates like Captains Aldur and Marshall. [20:47] <[COMC_Ironside]> Kel> Roger. ::brings the phasers back online and changes the setting for low-power precision cutting work:: [20:48] <[CRS3_Savant]> Q> ::Like a good nurse, she set Paqui down in his place and rocked it gently back and forth:: [20:48] RR> He says he wants to do what is best for his son and says that keeping him here would be the best thing for the boy. [20:48] <[CRS1_Drexler]> Kel> You can't second guess yourself, admiral, nor can we any of us. [20:48] Hmm, strange. I think that the Captain should be informed of this. In the meantime I wouldn't disturb that transmission until we know what it is... [20:48] Q>::sleeps:: [20:48] RR> He says that he would be fully satisfied to remain aboard as a civilian specialist for as long as we let him. [20:48] Aye, ma'am.
