[The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set] [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] DANTE Expeditionary Force Official E-mail BEGIN TRANSMISSION SD: 100617.1152 MDT FMD: 06.1000 SCENE: Pilot's Mess Cort sat with Anna and Peter and dinihsed off his Irish Coffee and corned beef hash and grits. Anna sipped at her Velarian Milk Shake while Peter wolfed down three plates of eggs, bacon and toast. The three officer's of NC-17 talked quietly about the CAG, the mission, and the upcoming memorial service for the deceased. "I think that all the pilot's should be remembered with the black wreaths." Anna said quietly, knowing that the wreaths they had launched earlier at the first memorial service had been destroyed in this battle. Cort nodded, but added, "Agreed, lass, but I think somehtin' more permenant should be set up in the Promenade...a wall dedicated t' those who lost their lives here, not just the pilot's, but th' marines and station crew. That way, their names can be added as more are sacrificed in this unholy war." Peter piped up,"I like that idea...a constant reminder to the civilians and those visiting this station in years to come of the horror we endured." A bit of bacon stuck to his cheek, making him look a little comical in his tirade. "I think that these people don't realize what we go through on a daily basis for them! And escpecially now that so many have died!" [LT O'Wood, report to the Flight Surgeon immediately.] Cort looked up as the annoucenment came over the loud speaker. He tapped his commbadge, "This is LT O'Wood...what can I do fer ye, Doc?" The Klingons deep voice rumbled through the commbadge, [I believe your presence is required. The CAG has awakened...sort of.] With that, all three officer's stood and headed out the doors toward the pilot's sickbay. "We're on our way!" Cort cut off the connection, and hurried with the others to the turbolift. The ride there was unbearable. SCENE: Flight Deck Sickbay FMD: 06.1025 Cort was the first through the doors and to the bio bed where the CAG lay...or rather sat in fear. As the three offciers approached, the FS turned and sighed,"At last! I should warn you that he is highly delusional, and thinks he is an officer from earth's Confederate Army." The look of confusion on the Klingon's face spoke volumes. "CDR Miller, are ye alright?" Cort leaned in closer to the terrified man. He seemed to relax as if seeing a familiar face. "Why are you calling me that? Ah'm COL Ray from the 5th Kentucky Infantry Brigade!" He looked pleadingly intot he other human's eyes, "Give me mah uniform and let me return t; mah men! If'n your Yankee's...then let me die in battle,an' not all trussed up in your damned butcher shops!" Cort looked back at Peter, who was from North America and shrugged. He knew nothing of the Civil War that America went through in the 19th century. Peter didn't know that much either. Anna made a suggestion."Play along with it until we can get help!" Cort nodded, "Maybe Dr. LeBeau can assist in this? he might know what the CAG is carryin' on about." **************** NRPG: Short but sweet. :-) David/Mike, how much longer do we need to send to the INDIGO list and use FMD's?
