Fan Fiction/Memorial Day Defensive 2013

Revision as of 15:28, 27 May 2013

In Memorium to the Military Soldiers and Civilian Police, Fire and Rescue workers who give their lives to protect us every day, we dedicate this first of the Memorial Day Defensive events to their spirits and courage. May their example inspire us all, and may we be greeted by them warmly when it is our time to also journey into the Undiscovered Country.

If you have information on Ships/Units that are participants, you may post to the attached discussion page.

We need: Ship/Cell/Unit Name, Member Name, Member Rank, Member Number, and any notes on the type or amount of participation. This is the Honor System, but we will verify claims as needed. Please only list those who participate in whatever way.

Setting the Stage

• Stardate 58402.26, Sat May 25 2383 14:10:00 (Central Standard Time)
  

The incoming message shows a group of formal looking flag officers of the Maquis, primary amongst them is an Andorian of no noteworthy distinction aside from his crisp, ice-blue eyes that show only the coldness of which his planet of origin is known. The maroon trimmed collar and sleeves signifying that he works with the Special Security Directorate. Keeping a hand over the mic for a moment, as he speaks with General Terantin, the VIC and IC, and a dour looking Klingon. His antennae shift forward and back a couple of times, he nods his head and then straightens up to the podium to speak in a deep, resonant tone.

"Good afternoon, for those who do not know me, I am Brigadier General Bre Triellis. I will be brief before our illustrious IC speaks. At precisely 13:42 today, Miramak Outpost - a Colony of Zone 4 just on the Maquis side of Breen space - was attacked and destroyed. As far as we know, there were no survivors. At this time, SSD agents, in conjunction with Naval and Marine branches, are en-route to defend against further incursion, and to investigate and assess the situation. We will not rest until answers have been brought to light, so that the souls of those we know and loved did not die senselessly. And now, Force Admiral T'pek."

As the Andorian steps aside, he can be seen speaking with some of the other staff quietly just after an aide has passed a padd to him that he scans. The IC takes the stand. A tall Vulcan woman with ears only slightly shorter then normal walks calmly to the podium in a simple black uniform with insignia identifying her rank and position.

As she speaks, her even but melodious voice fills the hall, “We mourn our lost and even as we give them due honor, we know we can not sufficiently pay homage to the great spirit that led them to become colonists of a new world. It is with their loss we are all diminished.”

She pauses before continuing. “We will remember however, and in remembering, do what we can to honor what they stood for. We do not know who is responsible but we will find out.” The last four words come with a thread of steel, an absolute sense of confidence despite the half-Vulcan's best efforts at control. At 68, she is still young by Vulcan standards, and so control might be a bit challenging.

After a brief moment, she continues, “Your orders are being sent to your commands as we speak. I know you will protect, you will investigate and you will run to ground those responsible.”

She looks around, catching the eyes of the Commanding Officers and other Flag personnel. “Our thoughts go with you.”

Raising her right hand in a familiar salute, her fingers form the 'V' shape. “It is my sincere wish that you all live long and prosper.”

With that the room comes to attention as she steps away from the podium.

Briefing and Outfitting

Vessels involved in Operation: Obscured View are to travel to M.S.S. Io immediately for resupply and distribution of investigative and search & rescue teams.

MFS Compliance

Aboard MFS Compliance the Flag Bridge lights are dimmed to only a green tinted blue. A small group of Technicians, Analysts, and Tacticians are busy drafting last minute order modifications to deployment orders for Compliance Task Force units. Standing before a 3D tactical plotter, Admiral Ten of Nine looks up from scanning the multiple data-streams, "Connect me to CAPT Sandeen."

"Yes Admiral?" a familiar voice acknowledges. "Terry, I need you to take Serendipity out to Mirramak on a MCE mission. You'll need SEALS section 3-1 for support and some MCE techs. You are tasked with ############-REDACTED-#################. It will all be in your orders. I try to send you some recon support as well. Questions?" "No Sir, Admiral. I already have most of what you asked ready to go already." "Never doubted it, Check Six. We still don't know what we are up against. Out"

Send the designated orders to VP-16. I want them to support Serendipity. Eureka Maru will position herself to search the region for signs of our enemy. The remainder of the squadron will rendezvous with MFS Scavenger and standby to support Serendipity as needed.
