Ok, it's worked out now, and things are back to normal. I feel like "Bunny the Foo Foo" over here (sorry it's a Spec. Forces term) with alot of egg on my face feeling like an idiot after the last few days. We'll get everything worked out. ------------------ Fleet Cmdr.

Derek, Here is the post from the email I sent you. I want to get clarification from you. I know CIOPS will be a part of ISS,but with a commander in charge of it. It will be a Wing within ISS.There are some questions I have: Can I have CIOPS detached from ISS to go about it's missions and be a self supporting Wing, with a commander in charge? It still is a wing within ISS but I can let it answer directly to me as Cheif of Operations. Do I stay at rank of Strategic Commander and keep my title of Chief of Operations? I want to stay this rank and have Tringad keep Fleet Commander, because I think we've earned it in coming up with this fleet layout and it's unique and we want to stand out. I've taken alot of flak about this but I think we've come through with our point and I would like Tringad and I to keep our ranks. This has given some of the people in ISS to expand their roles because they are at a higher position now. I can still control both areas of ISS and CIOPS from my position and let Tringad control ISS fleet and if CIOPS can be a detached wing from ISS, that commander can do counter-intel missions I set down. This might sound like I am being greedy, but I thought of this and submitted it to you when others didn't and now certain people aren't happy. I just want to resolve this. I don't want to offend people or cause any disruption in personel matters between people, this is about a role playing GAME and people trying to take initiative and do some things with the game. If people are going to be upset with others ambition even in a role playing situation, then so be it. I just wanted your clarification so we're not doing something you don't want. Strategic Cmdr.

Some of you might not be aware of this that SCID has moved back to EarthCOM, however, the SC has created CIOPS in it's place. CIOPS stands for Central Intelligence OperationS. Everything that was going to happen with SCID is now going to happen with CIOPS. CIOPS is the counter-intelligence and counter-Insurgency and Interrogation Agency for all of the systems outside of Earth space. ------------------ Fleet Cmdr.

Gallion, That leads me back to my post before, I can't have CIOPS a part of answering to ISS for mission directives. It can be a part of ISS, but it has to have it's own command structure. Part of that it needs a commander that has a similiar rank to stand up to the ISS Fleet Commander so he won't have rank pulled on him and override him. That is the reason. The other is purely role play I wanted to give 2 of my commanders promotions and the structure happen to fall into place that way. All those government agencies you listed are not intel. CIA and NSA are intel, FBI, INS, ATF, and DEA are all police organizations within the Department of Justice, they have no intel capabilities except for gathering information for their agents. The CIA and NSA gather intelligence that determine foreign and domestic policies. When you talk about G-2, that is a security and intelligence officer that is part of a military division. All military units (at least army anyway) have sections in each unit. At the battalion level they are known as S-1(personel and admin), S-2 (intel and security), S-3 (planning), and S-4(logistics). At the division level they are know as G-1, G-2, G-3, and G-4, with similar functions as the battalion level but only for the entire division. So G-2 is not a government agency what so ever. Each one of those section is headed by an officer, usually a captain and his/her title is the name of the department, ie S-1, S-2,G-1, G-2 Strategic Cmdr.

The reason is, If I am going to have CIOPS carrying out the missions I want, it has to be under it's own leadership. So it can't fall under 1 fleet. So it needs its own fleet command, even though it is not "technically" it's own fleet, it still needs to operate alone, if it needed to do something, it can't go through an approval process through the chain of command. It is essentially a Wing within ISS, with it's own Fleet commander, but the reason for my position is that I wanted to oversee certain aspects of ISS and CIOPS. They are both Intelligence gathering fleets (ISS is acutally more than just an intel fleet, but for this debate we'll use the intel assests) I had ideas about missions that I wanted to perform, this way I can do that and hand them down to the Fleet Commanders and let them use their talents and ideas. That is the reason for my position. I sat down with members of the ISS or listened to what they wanted to do, and this is what I came up with. They can use their role playing talents to a full extent now that we all have positions that allow us to do that. That is why I suggested this structure to Derek and he approved it. It still is accountable to 1 person--ME(well 2-Derek). That is the reason for it. It might sound complicated, but come on it's not. Any faction like the CIA can't fall under another command, it has to be a stand alone effort, but it still has to account to someone, the President. To continue with my real life examples. The NSA (National Security Admin.) and CIA have similar intelligence functions, they answer to the President and his advisors, but they have different mission doctrines. That is what the ISS and CIOPS are, they are intel fleets (with the noted exception of ISS) but with different mission doctrines, they both answer to me and I answer to Derek. The intel part of ISS is a pure intel gathering and analysis. CIOPS is a counter-intelligence and counter-insurgency, and interrogation. If you tell me that you can have all that together and work the way I want, you don't know what you're talking about, I know first hand from the military how it works. They might be under 1 command but it has their own mission doctrines and ways of going about things and they have to operate separately. You're right that it is a "Wing" within ISS, but I need a Fleet commander in charge and a structure the way I have set up to make it work the way I have thought about. The people in ISS are happy, I've gotten some new members because of the fleet. We were a small fleet up until now. In the last 3 days I've gotten 5 new commanders, some haven't posted in a while, and were inactive, but now they are enthused about role playing and this game. So what harm have I done, but doing this? ISS will have Wings like other fleets, but CIOPS will be broken into directorates (or wings, call it what you will). The only difference is that I have a Fleet Commander running CIOPS Fleet ( I call it a fleet because of the Fleet Commander running it and in my mind it is a fleet, but for GALCOM it is an organization within ISS) and I am ruling over both Fleet Commanders, this keeps CIOPS an independent organization, mission wise, from ISS and thus not creating a new fleet. I sent all this to Derek and he approved it, he even came up with the new name for CIOPS, and I think it's better than SCID. This might sound like I'm being technical,etc, but that is just me and the way I want to do things, I am trying not to get it complicated for others in my fleet or others at all for that matter.

First, Derek it wasn't my intention to carry on restructuring things without your permission. I wanted to work an idea out with Wolf, get it worked out to a satisfactory compromise and then submit it all to you for approval. I like the CIOPS better, nice play on words. Second, CIOPS will not be a separate fleet so to say, it will be a separate fleet within ISS, but for basic GALCOM structure, there is no new fleet. Strategic Cmdr.

Fleets Shogun of the Dragon Council – Order of the Jade Dragon -Commander’s Shield www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/9206/iss

I agree, this way we both get what we want and it is a similar thing. It wouldn't be permanent swapping, if we wanted some commanders from EarthCOM to do a mission with us or visa versa we would put them on temporary duty until the mission is over. I'll send my ideas to T.C. and we'll work some things out for role play, I might could use some EarthCOM support on "The Death Wraith" thread, let me know if you're interested or have been keeping up with it. I have an idea about EarthCOM doing some things for ISS in the role play if you want to get involved. Strategic Cmdr. Jeehun Ristar GCV Shogun, ISS02 Chief of Fleet Operations – ISS/SCID (or GCIA??)

well the members i have in SCID now were ISS members, so they would stay with ISS, I have some new recruits that I was going to put in SCID, but they will go into GCIA Hell, we can even share personnel if you want, to do TDY swaping if you want to make it even more radical. If you guys in EarthCOM want I am doing some ship structures I'll email mine to you if you want and we can set some up for EarthCOM or any of the other fleets. If you want Ill send one by email, I think they look good. Strategic Cmdr. Jeehun Ristar GCV Shogun, ISS02 Chief of Fleet Operations – ISS/SCID (or GCIA??)

I agree after thinking about it, and I posted my idea, so we'll see how that goes. Here is the structure for my idea: www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/9206/iss/fleet.jpg GCIA looks like a separate fleet, with it's own fleet commander, but it still will fall under the ISS and not create and actual GALCOM fleet. It has it's own commander because of it's role, etc. Strategic Cmdr.

I was thinking about that, and you are right about SCID being radical. I still would like to have a counter-insurgency fleet under my command. So I sent the SC a proposal about haveing a "directorate" within ISS take the place of SCID within ISS and I'll call it GCIA (Galactic Counter Intelligence Agency). EarthCOM can use SCID for what ever it wishes within Earth Space, then GCIA takes care of out of Earth Space. This involves no creation of a new fleet, because SCID was a part of ISS anyway, so it's just like a major division under ISS. I can keep the structure I have now and implemented only SCID would change to GCIA, and EarthCOM will have and SCID fleet. I think that should work for what both sides are looking for. Theres no actual new fleet. and both sides have what they want. Strategic Cmdr.

Here's another option, if it is going to be a hassle to create an additional fleet. My structure for SCID involves 4 Wings or Directorates, ISS takes the 2 that deal with counter-intelligence and counter-insurgency and EarthCOM takes the 2 I had planned for Investigations and Operations. Both have the parts of the fleet that it feels they need. And they both control those 2 areas. For structure purposes it looks like there are 2 fleets with 2 directorates each, but not in reality, they fall under one command but it does not really need to be defined. Both ISS and EarthCOM will claim ownership of SCID, but the role of each claim of SCID will be defined in the roles each one plays. There will be 2 Fleet Commanders for SCID fleet, the one for ISS and the one for EarthCOM. They are separate entities under that fleet. THis way we get what we want from SCID and no new fleet How about that? Strategic Cmdr.

I agree that EarthCOM is in the position to defend earth from the Insurgents and to protect it at all costs, but a police force in any fashion does not need to have the capabilities of counter-intelligence. If we are making real life comparisions as you are comparing the SCID to the CIA. The CIA has no legal bounds to take care of domestic affairs, it is illegal, that is what the FBI is for. The CIA takes care of everything outside the US. That is why I want to bring the SCID under one command. To use the SCID's counter-intelligence mission for OUTSIDE GALCOM missions. If we want to make a more reasonable comprimise then we create another fleet for use by EarthCOM, it would be the domestic counterpart to the SCID, call it the EIC, Earth Intelligence Command, this way it has all jurisdiction over Earth jurisdiction, it would give power to EarthCOM to issue security clearances, interrogation, higher level police action, etc. That leaves SCID to its designd mission of counter intelligence against non domestic enemies. Is that a better comprimise? Strategic Cmdr. Jeehun Ristar GCV Shogun, ISS02 Chief of Fleet Operations – ISS/SCID Fleets Shogun of the Dragon Council – Order of the Jade Dragon -Commander’s Shield www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/9206/iss

Karl, I emailed you a proposal for a comprimise on the handling of the SCID fleet between ISS and EarthCOM. Let me know what you think. Strategic Cmdr. Jeehun Ristar GCV Shogun, ISS02 Chief of Fleet Operations – ISS/SCID Fleets Shogun of the Dragon Council – Order of the Jade Dragon -Commander’s Shield www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Arena/9206/iss

I am all for a comprimise. I had some ideas put into place for SCID. I have a Structure, etc. If Wolf wants to be Fleet Commander, I'll make him that. I wanted SCID under my control because I did things like that in real life in the military. I wanted to join the intel part of ISS and counter intel part of SCId into one. Like I said if Wolf wants the Fleet commander position as well as his other, he is welcome to it. It could be a joint EarthCOM-ISS venture, where SCID still belongs to ISS but EarthCom does all the missions, and the SCID Personnel go on temporary duty to EarthCom to enforce the missions. That way ISS can do the mission planning part of it, like I have ideas for, and EarthCOM can do the missions, along with the SCID personnel I have lined up, and that way EarthCOM isn't losing anything and are gaining in their ranks temporarily during missions. How about that as a comprimise. Strategic Cmdr.

I disagree. My point about making SCID a part of ISS was that SCID was a counter intelligence and counter insurgency fleet. EarthCOM is a police force for GALCOM. It has no need for a counter-intelligence/counter-insurgency need. Why would they? The SCID (or the equivalent to the CIA in real life) has no control over domestic matters, that's why it's a counter-intelligence / counter-Insurgency because it has control over foreign and not domestic matters. That was the idea of bringing it into an intelligence fleet to keep the same work done by the same people. Nothing was even being done with SCID until I noticed it, and suggested the merger. What do you think SC? Strategic Cmdr.

{rp} 1330,March 15, 3008 Pluto, Sol GCV Shogun Ristar sat in his quarters looking at the sword that hung on his wall. Today was the anniversary of his parents death on Saturn at the hands of the some thing out of the sky the term that had come to apply to "what" it was were the Red Eyed Woollies. He had been so busy in what was happening that he hadn't even realized it. He and his then girlfriend, Heather, had been on leave on Saturn to attend the annual Festival of the Rings and for his parents to meet Heather. They intened on marriage, but only after graduation. That happy time had turned into such a nightmare. His father was congratulating him on his first successful cruise and then all of a sudden hell broke loose. Terror filled the peaceful streets. Death was all around. He couldn't even see what was attacking except for that red eye. In the aftermath, his parents lay dead, he and Heather badly hurt. In his fathers will, he had left him with this sword. The one he liked to play with when he was a child, but was told not to touch. It was his father's officers sword. This sword had been handed down through the generations. This katana was special in that it was made especially for Ristar's ancestor who was one of the first westerners to step foot in ancient feudal Japan. He sat with his contraband ale looking over the new membership applications for the SCID and ISS Fleets. Trying to find a good cantidate amongst the new and old ranks for Fleet Commander was getting more and more difficult. Some not qualified enough, some partialy qualified, not sure who to decide on. He missed DeSylva and worried for all his friends scattered about the various systems. He came across an application and it caught his eye. "Cmdr.Ryker" He read through the history and psych. profile. "Yes, He will do fine" Ristar went to his terminal, "Comms, raise Cmdr Ryker aboard the GCV Olumpus II and let me know once you have him." "Yes, Sir" Ensign Lee said as she busy began to contact Ryker. {/rp} Cmdr. Ryker, you have your way into the role play.

{rp} 1315, March 15, 3008 Saturn, Sol GCV-Shogun Lt.Cmdr Hull walked into the Shogun's Research Lab to find Ensign Ayako behind a computer talking to herself. ".....why does it keep doing that?" "Ensign Ayako, I have some new information for you, that might help with that other data" "Sure Sir, what is it?" "The GCV Swiftsure is in Rinaal, and they noticed a phenomenon with their weapons lock system. They found a probe near the Hadar-IX jump point and they determined that it was emitting what seemed to be a very high powered EMD field, some of the readings were around 2.6 times more effective than the normal jammers. The cloaking system was not affected but they could only maintain a lock for 2.6 seconds. What does that tell you?" "Well, Sir, I have been doing some research and it seems that all GALCOM vessels' weapon's lock on mechanisms send out a sound pulse to determine the lock on a target. This mechanism controls the PTA and missile systems. Now all GALCOM vessels are set at the same frequency." "Wouldn't that affect other GALCOM vessels trying to get a lock?" "Not really, Sir, sound frequencies travel in straight lines, so unless a GALCOM vessel got between you and your target after you sent out the lock on signal, you would be on only one to receive the lock on. Now if the Swiftsure can only maintain a lock for 2.6 seconds, that means the probe has a delay in the time it recognizes a frequency and then jams it." "Can't the weapons officer or someone aboard the vessel change the frequency?" "Yes, Sir, they could but that takes a long time to take apart the assembly and change it and then reassemlbe it. The assembly won't work when it's partially disassembled. So in a battle you can see that this isn't a wise solution." "Can you find a way to do this without taking apart the solution?" "I can try, Sir, but we would need to get near a probe to determine if my device would work or not." "I'll talk to Ristar about it, to get us out there." "I'll start to work on the device, Sir" Lt.Cmdr Hull made his way to the bridge to find Strat.Cmdr Ristar at his command station going over tactical reports. "Brett, I need a report from you about what is going on." "Sir, Fleet Cmdr Tringad is as you know on his way to LV-103 to lead some of the Falkyrie Resistance Cells. The GAmmulans control the entire Gammulan Quadrant. This means that the Falkyries have been conquered. They seem to be moving out into the Credian Quadrant, and we can only assume that the Credian Quadrant is their next target. Cmdr Somerset is in Rinaal, and was traking a new probe and was going to destroy it, when his weapons lock vanished. He could only maintain the lock for 2.6 seconds and the probe wasn't moving to break the lock. I'm having Ensign Ayako working on a solution. She needs us to get to that probe to see if her device will work." "Lt. Rittal, set a course for Rinaal" "Aye, Sir" Lt. Rittal, the Shogun's Navigation Officer, responded. "Ensign Lee, get Cmdr. Somerset on the horn and tell him to keep a track of that probe and do not destroy it!! Tell him that Lt.Cmdr Hull will be giving him a briefing of what we have working on that probe" "Aye, Sir" "Brett, when Cmdr Somerset gets online, give him a briefing on our research status" "Aye Sir" 1300, March 15, 3008 Falkyrie Homeworld LV-103, Alpha Cygni Chimera Starbase LTC Dugan was sitting in his office, when his XO Maj.Callister knocked on the door. "Come in John," LTC Dugan said "Sir, we just received a field report from one of the Jade Dragon's recon with one of the Falkyrie Resistance Cells.... "Go on XO" "They intercepted some transmissions from Gammulan HQ to some of its fleet ships. They were telling them to rendezvous at Romeo Omicron in small numbers to begin refit for Omicron V1 probes. We don't know where this Romeo Omicron point is, Sir" "Did the Jade Dragon's recon force determine exactly what this probe is going to do?" "No, Sir, they only determined that the ships were going to have to undergo minor refits, so I guess that is why they had them coming in in small numbers so not to realize the rendezvous point and not to leave front areas thinly covered. They did detect larger numbers of ships getting destination coordinates into the Credian Quadrant." "When Fleet Cmdr. Tringad arrives, we will suggest that we begin espionage and possible counter-intelligence strikes on the Gammulans in this area." "Yes, sir" "For now get that information you found to Strat.Cmdr Ristar, since Tringad is maintaining radio silence until he arrives here." "Yes, Sir" 1335, March 15, 3008 Pluto, Sol, GCV Shogun "Sir, we are receiving a message from Chimera Starbase in LV-103." "On the monitor Ensign Lee" The image of Maj. Callister appeared on the Bridge Viewer and he explained of the Jade Dragon and Falkyrie Resistance findings about the Omicron V1 probes. That information was sent down to the Research Lab for Ensign Ayako to research that name. Once the message ended, Lt.Cmdr Hull began receiving damage reports from GALCOM HQ on the losses from the first wave of Gammulan assault. "Sir, Wraith Fleet HQ was self destructed. Out of 68 ships, 32 were lost, that number could be higher but communication is in disarray as some commanders are scattered throught a couple of systems. Reports are all of Corsair Wing except Gallion are destroyed." Ristar's face turned pale, he immediately began to worry about his 3 friends in Wraith Fleet. He know that Somerset was alive, for now. But he thought of Fleet Cmdr Londono, and Cmdr Gallion and worried over their condition and state. "Have we heard of Fleet Cmdr.Londono and Cmdr. Gallion's status?" "No sir, we have not received any information on either. I believe even members of Wraith are unsure of Gallion's status as he endured the blunt of the attack." "Send a message out to Fleet Cmdr.Londono, and tell him I am dispatching 3 Battlecruisers from ISS and 2 from SCID Fleets to assist him and to begin Intel and counter-Intel operations. If he needs medics or engineer units, or anything, tell him to let us know and we'll get it to him. Get Prime Fleet on the horn also and let them know that there is a possibility of the Gammulans moving this way and for them to start mobilizing." "Yes, Sir, sending message now" "Have ISS Fleet's Defense wing move into Alpha Centauri system and let that start the buffer system. Let Tringad know what the status of his fleet is." Lt.Cmdr Hull began making the Tactical Operational Order (Op Order) for the various ships involved. "Get a message to the commanders of the Wurzburg, Lafayette, and Dark Sun to go to Condition Red and await deployment orders to Wraith Fleets location." "Yes, Sir" Hull answered "Sir, we have a message from ISS Fleet HQ. Cmdr Zwycky is informing us that they have discovered a possible mole within ISS," Ensign Lee said "DAMMIT, Get me Fleet Cmdr. Jason Tisborn on the GCV Ravenloft!!!" Moments later the acting Fleet Commander of SCID Fleet was on the Bridge Viewer. "Jason, get in touch with Cmdr. Dilvorn, Cmdr. Jamont, and Cmdr. Zwycky and find out about what is going on about a MOLE over there" "Yes, Sir" "and then report it to myself and Fleet Cmdr. Tringad. I need you to stand by for deployment to support Wraith Fleet once we get the location needed.

"Ristar, out" {/rp} Ben, Josh and Jamont, it's up to you on this mole situation, let me know your plans for it.

That sounds good to me Ben, I'm just waiting on seeing if different fleets can have the same type station. Strategic Cmdr.

ISS and SCID are still two independent fleets but under 1 command now. Each fleet will have it's own fleet commander and command structure, so we will need two separate stations. The one in Alpha Centauri can stay in place, if that's ok with Derek. Strategic Cmdr.

[rp] "Sir, we are receiving a message from Cmdr Jamont aboard the Prophecy IV, it seems the Prophecy IV is requesting instructions for deployment." "Ensign, forward that message to Fleet Cmdr. Tringad, I hear there is something brewing inside the ISS and Cmdr. Jamont might want to begin investigation of that situation. For now send the Prophecy IV to go to Saturn and await Fleet Cmdr.
