Jovians come up with the best names.
I'd have verbally torn into everyone involved; if Rain hadn't managed to override Amy's control over her ship, that would have turned into a friendly fire incident. Decloaking inside weapons range is not how one safely ends a live fire exercise, particularly when those involved don't know about it. Admittedly it does serve as a useful reminder that external communications from 'trusted sources' can still be a threat to control over your ship...I just stared at her for several long moments across the commlink.
A test? A fucking test!?

You know how in all those movies they broadcast things like "action stations, this is not a test"? Well they do actually do that, and also broadcast "this is a test" when it is.I have never been a fan of this concept, no matter how well intentioned. Yes, I understand the reasoning behind it, but I vehemently disagree with it.
It both undermines trust, and increases the likelihood that one might mis-identify a genuinely real threat as merely allies 'testing' them (and thus not reacting to it as decisively in the fashion they should).
This is a bad fucking practice.
Surprise drills are a perfectly valid training tool if properly supervised and discussed afterward. Which is exactly what happened.I have never been a fan of this concept, no matter how well intentioned. Yes, I understand the reasoning behind it, but I vehemently disagree with it.

Well, not outside of a holoprogram anyway and that hardly counted. Hologram characters weren't real.
Except when they are. Or was that another thing only in the various TV series?
A ROU fell in on my port side, Murder class, the ROU 'Feel lucky?'
It may not be fun, but definitely a worthwhile exercise.I had been doing it for the last sixteen hours. I had beamed a biological sample container back and forth over nineteen thousand times. I had failed just over two thousand times.
I'm not sure what you're talking about, this conversation happened over the station comms because Clara's communication systems are currently down. Amy even went and looked up her captain on the station logs. If you think Miramar missed any of that, you should reconsider.IFF is down and comms are being redirected? Sounds like our little Amy might be getting into her first kidnapping!
amy may not, but miramar being a fork (of a fork...) of the original would surely know that such a thing would be madness
I would not at all be surprised if Miramar was the one who recommended Amy in the first place.I'm not sure what you're talking about, this conversation happened over the station comms because Clara's communication systems are currently down.

Dominion spy detected.the repair and rescue version Island class coming in, dragging a clearly disabled Ferengi cargo vessel in her tractor beams.
Dominion spy detected.I nodded and crossed my arms, "Which class are you? Your IFF is down."

Everything you are is meant to be usable as some kind of weapon.
Now I wonder what class of ship would take Weaponized Cuteness as a name.
Probably one that was all harsh angles and sharp lines.Now I wonder what class of ship would take Weaponized Cuteness as a name.
