  1. Steele, Welcome aboard, Commander! Glad to have you in SIN Wing. Your quote only proves that SIN really is for you. ------------------ Cmdr.

  2. So, is it on for tonight, or postponed until tomorrow? Need to know so I can alter my evening plans. ------------------ Cmdr.

  3. The only real dislike that I have has already been addressed for BCM, and that is the fog of war. Makes things a lot easier for us "We don't want to be seen" types, if every starship can't see clear across the region. That, and the fact that the cloaking device can now inflict severe casualties among the crew. I rather enjoyed running cloaked for long periods. Makes dangerous trips (i.e. to Gamma-1) a sight easier. ------------------ Cmdr.

  4. I'll do my best to be there too. Getting ready for BCM sounds like a very good idea to me. Look forward to meeting you in real time gentlemen. ------------------ Cmdr.

  5. Ugh...lost the chance for a new Commander. If only work didn't keep me for eons...well, the fortunes of war I suppose. BTW: I'm back, and ready for duty. ------------------ Cmdr.

  6. This post was born of a very bad day. 1945, March 15, 3008 Lydan, Krynon GCV Swiftsure The fighting between the two battered Fleets had quelled once again. Even though decimated, the remnants of Wraith Fleet managed to fight valiantly, and save themselves from destruction again. For Benjamin Somerset, these had been the two most hellacious days of his life. He stood on the bridge of the Swiftsure staring at the main view screen, but didn't even notice its prescence. Just like the entire bridge crew was present, but Somerset didn't even realize they were there. In the past two days, the entire world that Benjamin knew had been turned on its head and gone from normal to something that was more surreal than anything else. The Great Fleet called Wraith he knew was now in tatters, fighting for its life, and would most likely fail. In the back of his mind he had always thought that he and his ship would make it through this alive. And now, after seeing so much destruction, so much death, the conviction he had held was slipping through his fingers...like so much else in his life. During the few moments he had been able to steal away from the bridge to his ready room, he got a message from Jessica that was in the Artemis download. He opened it with a smile, until he heard the playback. It was even worse than he could ever have expected. After the message was over he could only sit back in his chair and watch in his mind's eye as she tore his heart out and threw it to the decksole. He hadn't ever seen the like of it before. The shortest comm message he had ever heard. All he could do was play it over and over again in his mind. She would look at him with tears in her eyes as she simply said; Ben, it's really tough for me to say this, but I have to. I just can't do this anymore. Even though I love you, I just don't believe in us anymore. I want a divorce. Benjamin could only sit in that chair in his ready room, feeling numb. He didn't know what to think, or what to feel about it. Even with the new War, he always thought that they would be together forever. Now it was all falling apart, over two light-centuries away, and there was nothing he could do. And for the first time since his CO Angelique Trouseau was brutally killed, Benjamin Somerset broke into tears and cried. When Benjamin finally returned to the bridge, no sign of his tears remained. The emotional mask he had cultivated over the years was firmly in place. Even so, his senior officers had been with him for far too long to not notice something was wrong. Most of them wanted to ask, but none said anything. They all sat and looked at the Commander, who now had more than his ship and crew riding on his shoulders. Now he had a burden that couldn't go away. The burden that the woman he loved was going to leave him. And so, the stoic Commander stood ahead of his chair with a silence like no other pervading the bridge. It was the silence of a man who only had his command, and his duty left to him. The only two things that mattered anymore. And Ben promised to himself We're going home. And damn anyone who stands in our way. ------------------ Cmdr.

  7. Congrats, William! Have a Happy Birthday, and have fun driving on those oh-so-safe highways. ------------------ Cmdr.

  8. Great looking pics, SC. Can't wait to see the final product. Looks like I know where my sleeping time is going this summer. But you may want to be wary, because that fodder could always turn nasty on you. ------------------ Cmdr.

  9. It sounds pretty good to me. Gives the WC/SqC's a great deal of flexibility in planning operations. When MP comes out, what we need to do is find/recruit SqC's that are very independent minded, yet realize the need for combined operations. From the look of things, we may be operating in singletons for the most part unless working in combined ops (GCO only). When BCM comes out, I suggest that we begin recruiting and running training excercises to get our Wings up and running smoothly as soon as possible. The independent ideal will help in this, allowing WC/SqC's to plan individual training plans for the Squadrons. Also, having a Base Commander/Logistics Officer will be a very good thing. It takes the supply detailing off the WC's back, allowing him to better plan the initial training excercises and gives him more time to work with the Wings growing pains. One more thing. In order to better entice people to sign up for my Wing (SIN), I'd like to change part of our mission parameters. As is, we are detailed with Exploration/Trade (which has become Logisitcs, with the elimination of warship trading)/and Intelligence gathering. I'd also like to add Covert Ops (Attack) to our responsibilities. I know that Corsair is nominally assigned these duties, but they will mostly likely be operating in the Gammulan Quadrant, and not many other places. Detailing SIN Wing to the same task will allow more flexibility in attacking other targets, most likely Insurgent areas. Or it would allow us to make a concerted strike against a major target (Attempting to take down New America for ex.). It will give us more forces to carry the attack, and more ships to perform the assault with. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. As always, I will follow your orders. {Edit}: Neglected to mention that SqC stands for Squadron Commander. Didn't think that SC would be quite appropriate for that.

  10. I was wondering if the Roster image will be provided for all ships in the Logistics display (i.e. Stormcarrier Roster image for the Stormcarrier). Also, will all Military castes have access to the Stormcarrier, i.e. a Terran/Military Stormcarrier, or are they restriced to Gammulan/Military only? ------------------ Cmdr.

  11. Not only that, but we must also consider getting a Training Officer, Recruiting Officer, and possibly a Fleet Operations Officer, in addition to the Logistics Officer position. A Fleet of starships doesn't run and fight on beans, just bean-counters. ------------------ Cmdr.

  12. Glad to see ye back, Gallion. Dunno if I'll be able to post anytime soon, though. GF is coming into town, and I haven't seen her for four months. Needless to say, I shall be indisposed, for an indeterminite amount of time. I'll be back next Sunday, for sure. ------------------ Cmdr.

  13. Well, I don't know about Insurgent regs, but ours don't allow for summary executions. Unless Paul Resnig is involved. ------------------ Cmdr.

  14. Don't think I've anticipated a new game like this...well, ever. Thanks for the great work, SC. Looking forward to playing an out of this world (pun intended) space-sim. ------------------ Cmdr.

  15. While some search for moles, others of us have a war to fight! [RP] 1850, March 15, 3008 Lydon, Krynan GCV Swiftsure It hadn't even been 30 minutes, and the fighting was beginning to let up. The Gammulans had made a rather large mistake in sending troops aboard the Wraith ships. Though under normal circumstances, they may have made a decent setback. This time, they accomplished little. What the Gamms didn't realize was that most of the Wraith ships present were involved in the evacuation of Wrath SS, and that meant extra personnel aboard. And not just extra crew, but extra Marines as well. Most ships had a bloated Marine complement equaling 2 or more times the normal Marine complement carried aboard a starship. Their mistake. The Mandorians had not fared as well as the Wraith ships had with the boarding assault. Many ships were damaged, and forced to disengage from the fight. Even more were destroyed by the heavy internal fighting. This time however, the combined Fleet had managed to stand their ground. Where are those damn Kandorians? Somerset asked himself. He only hoped they would join the fighting soon. Soran returned him to reality as he said "New enemy vessels, bearing 018, mark 021. They are headed toward the Event Horizon. Weapons range in 38 seconds." Somerset glanced at his holo-TacOps, and gave his ordered "New Squadron course, 218, mark 105, full impulse. Prepare for a full missile spread at the enemy vessels. We've got to let that ship get clear!" Swiftsure covered the Event Horizon to safety as the next round of assaults began. The Battle of Lydon continued. For how long, neither side knew.

  16. Mike, I would like give you my deepest condolences on your loss. I doubt that there is anything that can really asuage your grief from such a shattering loss. You don't need to worry about the drunk. Even after his prison sentence, he will have to own up on Judgement Day. No matter what happens, justice is always served, one way or another. If you ever need anything, your friends will always be here for you. Sincerely, Chris (aka Somerset)
  17. Ristar, Take all the time you need off. We'll always be here, if you need us. Our condolences go out to you and your family. ------------------ Cmdr.

  18. [RP] 1820, March 15, 3008 Lydon, Krynon GCV Swiftsure "Commander, there's a ship decloaking off the starboard aft!" Kamarov yelled as his proximity alert went off at his station. Somerset looked ahead calmly "Lock weapons, and prepare to fire." "Sir, I'm reading a friendly IFF," Melanie reported from Comms. "I'm also getting a message. The ECV Event Horizon, and they stand ready to assist." "The vessel is moving into flanking position, Commander," Soran reported. "Very well. Signal them that we appreciate the assistance. Status of the enemy?" Somerset questioned. Ishikawa checked his console and said "They are still holding position. No sign of any change." There was still something bothering Somerset. They had just sat and waited for what seemed like an eternity. For now, the Gammulans were doing nothing. Then the thought occured to him, They must be waiting for something...and it's only a matter of time before whatever it is happens...we don't have much time. "Number One, Condition Red. Have all hands stand to Battle Stations, and get those Marines suited up and ready for any possible activity. Melanie, order the Squadron to go to Condition Red, and have them prepare for Boarding Action. We might throw off their plans with a few well placed Marines," Somerset ordered. The officers acknowledged their orders as klaxons went off, and crew started manning Battle Stations. A few minutes later Kamarov reported, "All Battle Stations manned and ready, sir. Major Harris reports Alpha Squad in the transporter room ready for Boarding action." "Have the Major deploy the rest of his men to repel possible boarders. If we came up with the idea, it's a sure bet the Gammulans did too. And have him send a Squad up to the Bridge. I don't want to try and fight a ship battle as well as a battle on my own bridge." "Aye-aye, sir," Kamarov said, and leaned over to talk into his headset. The Bridge doors slid open to reveal 10 heavily armed Marines, in addition to the 2 sentries always posted on the Bridge. "Gunny Watkins, reporting as ordered, sir!" "Gunny, situate your men to hold this position. I want this place held at all cost." Somerset said quietly. "Aye-aye, Commander!" The Gunny said as he waved his hands, and positioned his men around the Bridge. Almost before they were done, Soran reported, "Commander, the enemy vessels are moving. Course 213, mark 105. They are coming towards us." "Their weapons are charging, and shields are going up!" Kamarov said. Somerset keyed his console, and opened a channel to his Squadron and said "All ships, go to half-impulse, defensive pattern Delta. Prepare to engage the enemy." A few seconds later, Soran said "Commander, multiple invasive transports. There are intruders aboard!" Somerset keyed his shipwide intercom "Intruder Alert, all hands set Condition One. I say again, set Condition One." He cut the intercom and ordered, "Number One, secure the main computer from possible hackers. Major, secure Main Engineering, the transporter room, and the Launch Bays." "Enemy now coming into weapons range..." Kamarov said. The Battle of Lydon had begun. From within, and without. It would not be a pretty battle. [/RP] ------------------ Cmdr.

  19. [RP] GCAFN GalCom Armed Forces News-Lyrius The GCAFN is saddened to report the death of a high ranking Fleet Command official. Fleet Commander Gareth DeSylva and his wife were killed by assasains earlier today while attending a diplomatic conference at Earth Command Headquarters. Wrath PAO (Public Affairs Office) issued this statement: "At this time, investigation has lead us to believe that this plot against Fleet Commander DeSylva was precipitated by elements of the Insurgency. Whether this was sanctioned by the Insurgent Command is unknown at this time, but believed to be possible. Fleet Commander DeSylva served GalCom well during his life, saving the Sol system in the Gammulan Incursion of 3000, and forming the ISS Fleet during the 2990's. His loss is a great detriment to the GalCom Military, and condolences go out to the friends and family of the perished Fleet Commander and his wife." In a nearly unprecedented incident, Wrath SS CO Commander Benjamin Somerset, who does not speak to the press, issued this statement through the PAO: "Today, a great officer, and a great friend has perished. I met Gareth DeSylva, and came to know him as not only an excellent Commander, but as a good friend. This incident with the Insurgency is horrific, and saddens me deeply. I personally do not believe that high ranking Insurgency officials sanctioned this act, however. Gareth DeSylva is the man who saved the Sol System in 3000 by bringing the Insurgency and GalCom together to fight a common foe. It is my belief that those Insurgent figures that made such an agreement with honorable intentions, would never go back on such a trust. DeSylva was a man that all GalCom military officers could emulate. A man of caring, dedication, duty, and an impeccable sense of honor. My condolences go out to his family, and pray that DeSylva and his wonderful wife are in a far better place. May they rest in peace." [/RP] ------------------ Cmdr.

  20. Just one thing, Tac. The locations of starbases and SS have changed, but are still the old ones in the post you edited today. Thought you should know. ------------------ Cmdr.

  22. Ristar, be advised, there are no friendly assets located in Rinaal. All friendly forces (except the wily Corsair) are in Lydon. Just thought you should know. ------------------ Cmdr.

  23. Hope you have a nice day off, and a great Birthday, Derek!
  24. I'd say that repairs are fine, but Ristar should watch his back, because even in a friendly port, one never knows what can happen.

  25. Just hope I don't overstep me bounds here. [RP] 1800, March 15, 3008 Lydon, Krynon GCV Swiftsure Somerset stood stoically in his ready room, staring at a haggard image in the mirror. The image was his own. These last two days had not been the best for the Swiftsure, or for her Commander. Stubble protruded from all around his face because he couldn't shave, his eyes made him look to be drunken, when it was a combination of smoke, tiring fighting, and the stimulants that kept him awake. He was lucky he took a protein pill, which covered all his nutritional needs for 72 hours, or he would have been fighting hunger in addition to the Gammulans. After he managed to do something with his disheveled hair, and get the stubble off his face, Somerset felt a lot more normal, even though the situation remained quite far from it. He wished those damn Gammulans had never wanted to start a war. So much needless death, on all sides. After their daring attack and escape from the Gammulans in Chanis-I, the remainder of SIN Wing managed to stumble into the Fleet in Lydon. How they did so without being destroyed by the Gamms was still a mystery to Somerset. In any case, things didn't look good. From what he had ascertained, the Gammulans had lost fully two-thirds of their forces yet again, since their initial assault yesterday. They came into Rinaal with all they had, and only one-third rode into battle against Wraith. After reinforcement arrived, Wraith didn't appear to fair well, even with assistance from the Mandorian's. And now that he was done cleaning up, Somerset had some work to do. The ready room door slid open as he strode onto the bridge, and ordered "Report!" "We are still holding position, Commander. No enemy activity at present. They are holding position as well. It is my belief that they are consolidating the remainder of their forces for an attack," Soran said. Somerset refrained from informing Soran on how obvious that statement was. All the Gamms had been doing the last two days was attacking the Fleet. And now there wasn't much left. From comms, Winforth turned and informed Somerset, "Commander, incoming message from the Fleet Commander, Level I." "On screen," he ordered. Fleet Commander Londono appeared on the viewscreen, and touched a button on one of his command panels. Without warning, the screen split to show the remaining Wraith Wing Commanders, and the Commander of the Mandorian forces. "Gentlemen, we have a problem. Even though the enemy's numbers have been reduced to 123, they still outnumber and outgun us. Unless we get some help from the Kandorian's I don't see how we'll survive a few more onslaughts. Suggestions?" Somerset had been thinking about his since they had arrived, and he thought he had a plan. "Sir, I may have something that can help us." "Well, what is it?" Londono said, impatient for very good reason. "What I propose is this. From an intercepted transmission we got the names of high ranking Gammulan officials. We use those names, and the code to make up a false message. The message contains orders to attack the Kandorian's once the remainder of Wraith and the Mandorian Fleet's are wiped out. We can use a comm laser to bounce the message off the jumpgate, and reflect it toward the Starstation. The Gammulans won't hear it, but the Kandorian's will. And when they triangulate the location, it will appear to have come from a communications repeater at the jumpgate. If we offer our assistance to aid in their defence, it may prompt them to assist us." Somerset said. It would also hide the fact that we've broken the Gammulans top code as well, he thought to himself. On the viewscreen, Londono steepled his fingers, and appeared to ponder the thought. Finally, he nodded to himself, and looked back up at the Commanders assembled before him. "Do it. And make it quick. We don't have any idea when they'll be ready to strike." "Aye-aye, sir. Is there anything else?" Somerset asked. "No. We've already gone over the rest of our plans, if we make it that far. With this, hopefully we will. Good luck, and Godspeed. Londono, out." And with that, the screen returned to the normal view of the stars. 1825, March 15, 3008 Lydon, Krynon GCV Swiftsure It was done. They had managed to put together what sounded like a Gammulan tranmission, with high level Gammulan names, ordering an attack on the Kandorian's once the enemy was wiped out. Winforth finished her task quickly, and encoded the message with GFC-144. It was an older code, but one the Gammulans thought was unbroken. In fact, it had been broken by most of the major galactic governments in the last few years. The Kandorian's included. A few minutes later, she said "Ready, sir. The message is made, and I've got it encrypted." "Number One?" Somerset said. "Ready, Commander. I've calculated the precise position to within .002 nanometers for our comm laser to hit, and reflect back to the Starstation. There will be no way for them to tell that it is not the jumpgate communications repeater. Once the laser hits, it will scatter because of the gate, and the Kandorian's will see it as a broadband transmission. A very ingenious plan, Commander," Soran replied. "Very well. Make it so," Somerset ordered Now we wait, and pray that this works, Somerset thought to himself. [/RP] ------------------ Cmdr.
