USS Daystrom Stats

[Sionnach Glic]

And the dead man wasn't an ensign, he was a junior enlisted and his name was Forester. Jeezh! Get it right!!

My bad.

Oh, and I would imagine the dozens if not hundred plus deaths that resulted in the battle over a crowded slave market could be blamed on Blackstar.

Indeed. The colateral damage from the aeirial dogfight was probably quite high. Add to that the fact that they endangered the lives of Starfleet officers and probably created a diplomatic incident with the Tholian Assembley.......

Well let me write up a character bio and you guys can see if you approve.

---
Name: M'Rea
Species: Caitian
Gender: Female
Age: about 25 earth years
Rank: Commander
Starfleet records:

Graduating top of her class M'Rea is one of Starfleet's most promising officers. Although she failed to gain her own ship as fast as she bragged she was put in charge of the Wolfpack recon squadren, a specialized unit under her direct command. The squadren uses a half dozen long-range fighters and a Danube-class runabout, the Mullet, equipped with a long-range sensor module. Due to an injury she recived on her first assignment she is no longer able to keep up with the other fighter pilots, but can still handle a runabout.

Because she is no longer a true fighter pilot she began reading up on intelligence and serves as intelligence liason for the squadren and any ship or base it's assigned to. Her newest assignment is to join up with the Daystrom. Her objectives are 1)investigate the high death toll of officers and 2)assist in Daystrom's current operations

She reports directly to the captian, and the Wolfpack squadren reports directly to her. Rochey outranks her orders when dealing with the rest of the Daystrom's crew.

I will give the classified data to anyone who figures out the code.

Oh, great. Another commander. The chain of command around here is getting rather rusty, no? Although, to be fair, Blakcstar's last character ignored it compeltely.

Yeah, any investigation that's not completely, obscenely ridiculous would find Rovhey guilty of being a major screwhead, but there's certainy nothing there that could lead to a court-martial or even formal charges. Remember, investigations like this would tend to find more and more guilt on the part of the insubordinate officer.

And my character, for one, is a military man. Plus, Hell hath no fury like an Andorian scorned. If they ask me to start talking about Blackstar, they'll have to hit me in the head with a typewriter to make me shut up.

BTW - where the hell are you gonna base a squadron of fighters, and how did they get out here on their own? Even the runabout is pushing it, but the fighters can't make it out this far.

And what use is it to continue the uber-shuttle?

Well, I figured the Daystrom's shuttlebay would be a good place to base them. As for how they got out this far, um...that's classified. I will reveal it if you figure out the code.

And I thought we were still searching around the area, the uber-shuttle would do that nicely.

And it would either be a commander or a special independent investigator hired by starfleet. (I would never survive the real military)That would also mean no additional fighters, and I would have no authority over Starfleet personel. At least I made sure to put certain restrictions on the new commander's authority, and insured that the chain of command was clear. And the investigation would be well withen reason. I'm not going after Rochey for revenge. I'm just hoping that this new character will prevent any other characters from being forced out.

[Mikey]

the uber-shuttle would do that nicely.

As would our current complement of auxiliary craft.

That would also mean no additional fighters, and I would have no authority over Starfleet personel.

Good. That would play better than adding another commander. I don't have any authority over Rochey or Teaos, but I'm not writing myself a promotion.

(Although Rochey should be in a frame of mind to act favorably to Mikey... he knows what I did for him!)

I will reveal it if you figure out the code.

Meh. Not really interested enough to look at it again. But whatever your "classified" information may say, they would need a carrier. And if they had a carrier, they would remain based on that carrier. It just doesn't, and will not, make sense. And if you want to base abother danube and two or three fighters on the Daystrom, the uber-shuttle has got to go. There's probably not enough room for all these craft even without that project.

[Blackstar the Chakat]

the uber-shuttle would do that nicely.

As would our current complement of auxiliary craft.

Then what was the point of building it in the first place?

That would also mean no additional fighters, and I would have no authority over Starfleet personel.

(Although Rochey should be in a frame of mind to act favorably to Mikey... he knows what I did for him!)

Yes, well I doubt Rochey would act as favorably to someone investigating him. The point I'm trying to make is that we have too many active military men. Teaos rarely posts, and that I don't want to have one character having so much power, that every time someone does something slightly out of line they get nailed to the wall.

Now I don't mind people staying in character but this is an RPG. RPG stands for Role-Playing Game. Keyword is Game. Games are supposed to be fun. Having my character forced out was not fun. My investigating Commander character accomplishes two things. 1)Balances the power to prevent anyone else from being forced out, and 2) introduces a new plot point to get this RPG moving again.

[Mikey]

Nobody forced you out! Military or not, being in Starfleet still requires adherence to the chain of command. I had sort of thought everyone knew that when the game began. You decided on your own to counteract that.

The point of building it in the first place was actually to have something that could utilize the skills of a pilot who couldn't sit comfortably at a normal biped's console... little did I know that shi was already having hir own full-sized merchantman being built.

[Mikey]

Yeah, why not? Let's all write ourselves new command ranks, and our own personal armies while we're at it. Great news! I'm a flag admiral now!

[Blackstar the Chakat]

Still, most Starfleet officers wouldn't order someone to give up a child they've taken responsibility for. I didn't expect him to do that so I never planned on disobaying him. I figured it would be a heated arguement at worst. I thought he was still a Starfleet officer. Then all hell broke lose, and trying to keep my character from being in trouble got to be more work then fun.

[Blackstar the Chakat]

Yeah, why not? Let's all write ourselves new command ranks, and our own personal armies while we're at it. Great news! I'm a flag admiral now!

I'm trying to ensure that no one else has the same trouble I did. If you disagree with my idea you could try being more polite about it. I'm simply providing my reasoning to your questions.

[Mikey]

Sorry. Low blood sugar.

However, the insubordination DID begin before that.

All in all, what I'm saying is do't expect me to pay fealty just because of rank - you're still not an officer of MY crew (at least, from my character's POV.)

And the private army is a bit much.

[Monroe]

Also, keep in mind our mission was mainly succussful. We did rescue 17 humans that may or may not have been on the missing crew. At worse least one would give us a good lead.
