Scene: SB OMEGA Hanger Deck FMD: 7.1030 Phoenix had come over to STARBASE OMEGA to try to find out the status on the issuing of replacement shuttles and pilots. Captain Sovak had given him little information regarding the subject, so he decided to come down and get some answers straight from the source. "What do you mean 'We'll see what we can do'? What kind of bull are you trying to feed me?" Phoenix said exasperated. The station mechanic had been reluctant to part with any equipment and personell. "Look sir, I've been given instructions to release some shuttles to you", the mechanic stated matter of factly. "And exactly how many is 'some'?" Phoenix asked, knowing almost for certain he would not like the answer. "I have been authorized to release four shuttles to the PROMETHEUS." Phoenix was appalled, "Are you guys nuts! We need at least 20 ships!" "I'm sorry sir but OMEGA doesn't have the resources to impliment that that kind of refit, and at the current situation we can't spare that much." Phoenix looked disgusted, "And what do we get as far as personnel.. HALF a pilot!" "Look..sir.." "No you look!" Phoenix snapped. " We need pilots and we need shuttles! I understand your position Mr., now you listen to mine! PROMETHEUS took alot of damage and even greater casualities, including our Captain! I don't give a damn about how warm and snug the base wants to feel with a surplus of backup personnel! How many people has OMEGA lost to the Dalriada? As many as the PROMETHEUS? I think not! We need pilots and shuttles, that means more than FOUR! Tell your higher-up-big-wigs to put away their stupid security blankets and give the PROMETHEUS what it needs to survive, A little HELP!" ------------------------------- Scene: PROMETHEUS MAIN SHUTTLE BAY FMD: 7.1105 Phoenix was up in the flight control tower. Standing next to him was the on duty Flight Control Technician. Phoenix stared out of the Control Tower window. The shuttle bay personell were all leaving the area, as the shuttle replacements were due to arrive at any moment. The Flight Controller looked at his display console. "We have shutttles coming in from OMEGA, Sir." Phoenix nodded his body not turning in the slightest from the window, "Four shuttles." "No sir, six shuttles." Phoenix head turned, a small look of satisfaction crossed his face. It seems his little outburst caught someone's attention on OMEGA. Phoenix would have preferred more shuttles, but any improvement from the original four was happily welcome. Phoenix watched as the first of six slipped through the bay door and slowly landed into it's predesignated spot in the bay. Gradually all six shutlles had landed. Phoenix was about to order stand down when the Flight Officer announced another signal. "Lientenant, we recieving another transmission. It's from the USS CONSTELLATION. They have four shuttles rendezvousing with us as replacement shuttles." A broad smile came over Phoenix. "Why you cunning little Vulcan." "Sir?" Phoenix looked at the FC Officer, "Our new Captain. This new arrival must be Sovak's doing. Way to go Captain. Mr. Thompson acknowledge their signal and prepare for the new shuttles." -------------------------------------------------------------------- Respectfully Submitted Dennis Dufour darrylwn@aol.com LTjg Gabriel Phoenix NAV Officer, USS PROMETHEUS NRPG: Tim: Thanks for the advice.
