(temporary) star trek reboot (since gais's being weird)

[dragontamer363]

"Greetings commodore Shern, this is Captain James T Kirk. We request temporary passage on your station. I have received a modification of my orders from Starfleet and would like to deposit some passengers with you for an indefinite amount of time until my mission is complete, if you would agree to it. They're of top value to the Federation, as the Vulcan Elders, so I would appreciate it if you could keep them safe and well cared for. I also request that we make use of some of your stock, the ship has been modified en route and we need to stabilise her. Is that acceptable?"
he smiled, keeping clear and formal, though he hardly expected him to refuse them.

Meanwhile Scotty had recahed the bottom level and studied teh trio skeptically.
"if he wants to send tour guides aroudn he ought to speak to me first." he looked at Zepatos. "and who are you?"

"Zepatos Coralis, sir. you must be Scotty."

"That's Chief Engineer Scott to you, for the moment." he said, though his annoyance was dwindling already - it never seemed to last long. "what brings you here? You're a prisoner aren't you?"

"I'm a pilot and engineer of sorts myself. i wanted to see how this beautiful ship works." Zepatos said, his honestly offsetting his planned flattery nicely.

Scotty's annoyance was instantly banished. "Oh aye? Well in taht case I suppose I can spare a few moments."

"Why Captain Kirk! You need no introductions, your reputation most certainly proceeds you. "

-- Shern stared at his viewscreen, examining the bridge of the enterprise.
"I am honoured to receive Starfleet's newest starship. Please doc at port 12. Please help yourselves to any of the supplies in cargo holds 4 to 27. I am afraid supplies in the other cargo holds need to be checked out via Starfleet Command"

-- Shern looked down at his console as it started bleeping. Wiggling his antenna he read
"It seems Starfleet is ahead of me Captain. Anything of ours is yours. Just try not to strip me bare" he smiled "I too am under your command. You have me and the Proctar 'Nul at your command. Starfleet sees this as a priority one mission and I am to act as the senior liaison officer with Starfleet Command."

--Shern looked up expectantly before returning to his console once again
"The third fleet is on its way Kirk, if what you expect is correct, you'll need them. Three days away at maximum warp however. Once again, they too are under your command. In the meantime the Vulcan elders will be safe here. I have 4 starships on patrol and the firepower of this station. The Elders will be most comfortable in our habitat ring"

Chekov and Sulu looked at each other; Sulu raised his eyebrows. Chekov had a nasty feeling that things were going bad. If starfleet had analysed his first transmission and responded with this much force - they knew something - but what.

After another almost awkward silence Shern once again spoke up.
"Someone at Starfleet command likes your Captain....
... I like you Captain"

He wiggled his antenna

"They think it is Nero you know. Your the best we have. Lead us well Kirk"

--The transmission ended.  

[dragontamer363]

Kirk smiled broadly at the compliments and the prospect of having so many ships under his command. However his smile turned into a tenser line as they seemed to confirm it was Nero. Things were getting serious very quickly, and while he revelled in having the responsibility placed squarely on his shoulders it was nevertheless a serious load to bear.
But they would win.

"Thankyou Commodore, your generosity is extremely appreciated, both professionally and personally. Sulu, take us to Port 12."




[ok we'll be needing bad guys soon. I'm thinking of having Nero join up with the Klingons in an alliance focused on taking down Starfleet and the Federation. Therefore I'll need someone to play Nero and someone to play the head Klingon commander at least. i'll happily rp one of 'em, but I don't' really want to take both 'cos it'll be boring for both me and you guys haha - any takers?]  

[0Moon_Maiden0]

((I take on the klingon role if Near doesn't want it))  

[Near Xephis]

((Revel in the power Kirk, thought it'd make things interesting! I don't mind taking a Klingon. Sulu and Chekov are pretty much yes-men sitting on the bridge so I can focus on my new andorian and my Klingon bad-guy!!!!))

Sulu turned to face the captain "Aye Sir! ...
Mr Chekov, cut the engines and give me manovering thrusters"

"Cutting power to the engines now"

"We have received docking confirmation, proceeding to port 12" Sulu reported
....
......

"We are on final approach to port 12. Docking bay extended. Station is ready to receive us.... and.... We are connected, pressurised and.... we have received confirmation, welcome to Starbase 23!"  

[Near Xephis]

((Ah! I don't mind 0Moon_Maiden0, as I've just created the commodore, do you want to take the klingon?"))  

[0Moon_Maiden0]

((Yay-I gets to be klingon....thankies. DT-do I need to make a character sheet then I take it?))  

[dragontamer363]

["teh POWAH!" twisted ]
[ there's plenty of Klingons to go around lol After all a captain can't pilot a ship all alone though Zepatos might disagree with that one lol. Moon, you don't have to create a sheet, but it'd be nice just so we have something to refeer back to. ahh heck now i'm going to have to try and figure out how the hell to rp Nero lol]


Kirk stood up.
"Excellent work, after you've checked things over with the crew who receive us you can have a break. Spock, you're with me - we'll transfer the elder over and speak personally with the Commodore. Chekov you work with Scotty and do what you need to do to get the Enterprise back in complete working order - no glitches."  

[0Moon_Maiden0]

((Gotcha...*thinks*))

Spock nodded and waited to leave with Kirk to escort the eldars off.  

[Near Xephis]

"Computer, secure the ship at this position; ensign authorization code Nine-Five...Wic ... ARG! Nine. Five... Victor... Victor-Two"

-Command acknowledged-

"Scottie, this is Ensign Chekov, can you meet me at the docking port so we can collect supplies. Hopefully we can get the ship up to full power with the sensors engaged"

-----

Sulu nodded at the Captain, "Aye Sir" before he proceeded to the docking port to meet the stations Crew.

----

Shern sat back in his chair and pondered. His antenna twitched. Nero was bad news and the thought that he could be mere hours away from his system did not please him at all. Shern was not at all phased by being under the command of a lower rank. If anything he was glad for Kirk's presence. "I only hope you keep my system safe like you kept earth safe Kirk he said aloud"

Turning in his chair he summoned Commander Drax into his office. "Commander, please help our guests with whatever they need; have Kirk's party shown to me office. We have much to discuss. Contact Starfleet Command and let them know we have received Kirk and are proceeding with his orders. Priority 1 encoding Commander. Priority 1"  

[dragontamer363]

"Aye, aye." Scotty looked sceptically at Zepatos and the security, loathe to leave them alone. "Look, I'm needed. you'll have to go back."

"can't i come with you?" Zepatos asked.

Scotty laughed. "Do I look like a mug? No, you'll go where security tells you to. I imagine back to your cell. See you later." He hurried off, more concerned with sorting out his ship then entertaining prisoners, even if the prisoners were enthusiastic.

--

Kirk stepped off, glad to stretch his legs and reach some new scenery. it wasn't long before they were met and led up to Shern's office. onc ethey recahed it he stepped in and nodded.
"Commodore Shern, Nice to finally meet you in person."  

[Near Xephis]

"Kirk, the honour is mine; and please, its Thal'luk" He smiled and gestured Kirk into the room.

"You have the resources of my station and my ship at your command... ... ... Commander Drax is capable of running the station should you need my ship out there."

Shern sat at the head of the table and motioned the rest to sit as well" His antenna twitched. "We have much to discuss" He twitched once again...
"what do you want me to do"

----

Sulu briefed Commander Drax on the requirements of the Vulcan elders.
"We'll ensure they're well catered for" Drax exclaimed. "Now what resources did you need"

"My Colleague Ensign Chekov will be here shortly with our Chief of Engineering to sort that out. It would be prudent not to argue with the Chief. Anyhow... You wouldn't happen to have a bar where I could catch some rest would you"

"Mr Sulu. I like you" Drax exclaimed loudly, patting Sulu on the back rather hard. "Ask the turbo-lift to take you to the Res. I may very well catch you there later!"

Sulu, rather surprised by Drax's welcome hurried to the turbo-lift. He really wanted some Andorian Ale, but he had best skip the alcohol ... on duty at least.

Drax turned around just in time to see Chekov approaching.

Quote:

Name: Tavana from the House of Koloth
Gender: Female
Appearance: Lookie Here
Rank: Brigadier
Ship: Name-Bloodscar (Negh'Var Class)

Background: Tavana doesn't come from the most honorable family. A great grandfather of hers was a coward and brought disgrace. Now she seeks to banish that dishonor by any means nessacary. She has fought more ruthlessly than other klingon to get to where she is now.

((Should I add anything else?))  

[dragontamer363]

[nice - probably just something about her rank and how she got there, just so i know ]


Kirk nodded and took a seat.
"We certainly do. your help is truly appreciated. I'm impressed that starfleet has responded so favourably, to be honest, but then again if my hunch is right then it's just as well. How much do you know about our current situation?"

--

Scotty soon caught up with Chekov.
"hello again, ensign."  

[Near Xephis]

"Well Kirk, to be honest, we probably know more than you"

Shern gauged Kirks' reaction before continuing.

"Every petra-byte of data you send us has been run through the super computers at Starfleet Command. They're using experimental bio-neural circuitry - suffice to say they're fast and powerful... Very powerful"

Shern spun his chair to look out the window. "Comparing the data you collected from your new sensor array with that from the earth's sensor network during your battle with nero has produced some very frighting results"

Shern's antenna's waved slightly and he spun around to face everyone.

"The gravitational eddies and temporal anomalies have the exact same temporal bearing and gravitational frequency"

Shern lowered his head "It is entirely possible that nero disappeared, spatially and temporarily, appearing in the system where you found the wreck. The genius' at starfleet command have no better ideas."

Looking up the fear could be seen in Shern's eyes. "The fact is, it has to be him... everything matches to the letter. There is no explanation Kirk"

Shern grimaced. "He survived. Nero Survived"

"I do have some slightly more cheery news. Those new sensors by your Russian prodigy have the physicists at Starfleet command shaking with excitement. The proffesor who wrote the theoretical paper young Mr Chekov based them on is leading a team that will see them implemented on all our new ships. They've even been retrofitted into four of the ships in the 3rd fleet on their way here. Mr Chekov is up for the Zee-Magnees Prize"

Shern's brighter face didn't stand for long. He grimaced again.

"This is war Kirk. The 3rd fleet is here for no other reason"

Shern quaked.

"Worse is still to come...
We've picked up communications deep inside Klingon Space. Rumours of a new alliance. Rumours of a super ship from the future outfitted something they call "Borg technology. Apparently great honour is to come"

Shern looked Kirk straight in the eyes... "A spy smuggled a picture of their new ally... He is romulan. We cannot say for sure... but... it could only be Nero. The klingons would never ally with such a cowardly race... but now that Nero is here... "

Chekov smiled at Scottie "Mr Drax, please take us to your best supplied engineering stock immediately. He haft shopping to do"
