Episode Eight: Resolution Part 2

[Captain Valdora]

Captains Log Supplemental

Our allies have begun to deploy their fleet and we, now almost fully repaired, are ready to depart. I have restored Lt Hunter and Ensign Langely to their former postions and despite my mindset I have to put it aside and focus on the battle ahead.

Valdora sat in the command chair as the Enterprise chirped and beeped to life around him, it engines coming online. He reached over and pressed the com.
"There will be an attack briefing in the CIC at 17:00 hours. All marines and tactical crewmembers, as well as senior staff be there."
He closed the channel and turned to Langely as the helm.
"Take us out."

The Enterprise detached from the Cai'Nari ship, backing off and turning into the rest of the alien fleet. It was time.

"Set course for the hub. Maxium warp" he ordered.
Valdora watched as Langely put in the commands and ahead the stars streaked into subspace.

[Ensign Thomas Jones]

Thomas was leading the Engineering team in getting the ship combat ready. They had spent the past hour or so, ensuring that everything was right, and ready for any potential combat. Thomas had then had a brainwave. He got the team together and also found a pile of storage boxes out of a Cargo bay and brought them back.e then set his team about getting a list of all the systems on each deck, and the equiptment that would be needed to repair them. THe said equiptment was then put into the boxes and taken to the correct deck. Thomas picked up the last box and headed to the bridge. A Few minutes later, he steppe of the turbolift onto the bridge.

[W.C Danielle Gordon]

The Wing Commander and her XO walked into the turbolift, in their flight jumpsuits, helmet's held in one arm. "Deck 3, CIC." Danielle spoke, and the lift went up. "Hope things go well out there." her XO said. "Just follow our formation, engage the targets designated, and we'll be fine. And also Lee..should something happen out there, it's been an honor serving with you." "Don't talk like that boss, we'll make it through." She touched his shoulder for a moment and nodded, "Good to see you be optimistic. Here's to attending briefings." "Indeed." was the reply as the lift opened, and the two pilots reported to the CIC, awaiting the arrival of the others.

[Lt. Hikari Makoto]

Lieutenant Hikari stepped out of the Intel Office, and made her way to the turbolift. "Deck 3, CIC." she said, smoothing out the rough edges in the alternate intel duty uniform she wore as she waited for the lift. A minute later, she stepped out of the turbolift, carrying two padds with Cai'Nari intel about their enemy, and headed to the CIC to await further arrivals.

[Doctor Calvin Foley]

Foley lay in his bed his mind racing with so many thoughts he felt like he couldn't contain them all. He hadn't eaten much or drank much in the past few days and he felt weak. All he wanted to do was sleep. Looking at the time , he shut his eyes and shut his eyes again.

Captain Valdora , a phaser fight in sickbay agaisnt the Remans , the death of John Shepard , all passed through his mind as he dirfted back off to an uncomfortable sleep.

[Lt Andrew Figueroa]

The night was young, even though he wanted to accompany Faith to meet the family, security detained Figs for some minor questioning. Even after the interrogation he had to help repair the ship's operating systems to clear out any residue of the computer rewrite. He barely got any sleep and was apparent in the young Lieutenant's eyes as he tried to maintain focus at the meeting. Why he was here he had no clue.

[Commander Micheal Logan]

Logan was in his office when he heard the Captains voice over the Comm channel. He gets up and makes his way into the CIC and sits with the rest of his shipmates.

[Captain Valdora]

OOC: Posting for Lork as he has asked me to and I don't know his password.

Valdora made his way into the CIC with a large PADD under his arm. He looked around the large room and saw that most if not all of the senior staff and marines had already arrived and so decided to begin.
"Ladies and Gentleman I will hand over to our new Strategic Operations Officer Lt Commander Lork."
Lork moved forward looking slightly nervous and began to speak.
"Right. So we have coordinated with Cai'Nari and this..." he brings up a tactical overhead of the hub on the screens behind him "is what we have decided on. The fleet will be split up into six wings. The Enterprise will be part of the third wing. The first and second wing will engage the Covenant ships at point blank range. The third, thats us, will be the second wave that will break through the wall of ships from the opposite side and head directly to the hub. The rest of the wings will then come in from all sides and take on any defenses or ships they encounter. Our wing will move in on the hubs and fire so as to lower their defenses. We will then beam our marines onto the hubs so as to occupy them for ourselves. And for that part of the plan I will hand over to Major Gordon...." He moves aside and gestures for Gordon to take his former place before the group.

Tag: Randall Gordon

[Major Randall Gordon]

OOC: Post is slightly confusing, I'll just assume there's three seperate areas of the single hub.

Gordon had entered the conference room, flanked by 1st Lt. Kerak and Commander L'Kor. At his cue he stood up and made his way to the place in front of the group. "From the data we've received from the Cai'Nari, there are three seperate areas of the hub that we will need to control. This particular plan is pretty straightforward, I will lead my team to one area, 1st Lt. Kerak will lead his team to the second area, and Commander L'Kor will lead his team to secure the third area. Additional Marines will be on standby to reinforce any of our groups, and arrangements have been made with the Cai'Nari for them to send reinforcements of their own in the event we need them. Once we secure the areas in question we will hold them against enemy attack until the battle is over. Any questions?" He said, looking around at the group.

[Captain Valdora]

The group shuck their heads. The marines had already planned this well and knew what to do.

[Lt Jade Mandelo]

She raised her hand.
"Yes Major. Will it be a joint operation with the Cai'nair?" She also over looked at Faith.

[Major Randall Gordon]

"Yes it will be, Lieutenant. Doctor, do you have anything to add on that part?" he said, looking over at Faith.

TAG: Faith.

[Doctor Faith Nomonor]

Faith simply shook her head, arms crossed as she shifted her gaze from person to person, as different people look at her... her tail flicking back and fourth behind her idly.

"My only thoughts are that the Cai'Nari only asked you to help, Try and stay out of harms way as best you can with your ship. You only have to worry about keeping up with our tactics." she gave, eying the captain a bit.

[Captain Valdora]

Valdora looked back over to her with folded arms and decided to keep his true feelings silent, he didn't like not being on front line and Faith was quickly getting a supremist attitude he hated about most powerful races. He simply nodded.
"Well then we all know what it is we have to do. I don't need to tell any of you what is on the line. Get to battle stations and get this ship ready for battle. Dismissed."

[Commander Micheal Logan]

Logan stands up and walks over to Valdora" Sir you have something else on your mind" Logan said as the last of the senior staff left the room.
