Mbeki wins.

Edit: Damn Lecarrens :D
 
I still cannot believe we are 9 threadmarks away from the vote to decide what ships to decide the treaty which will shape the diplomatic facts for the forseeable short and medium-term future.
 
While we're waiting, I decided to throw together a supercap size comparison to see if everything looks more or less right. Side view only, but still. Galaxy and D'deridex at the bottom right are to help further put things in perspective.



Not sure if these relative sizes feel right or not, tbh.

All kidding aside, my guess is that @OneirosTheWriter really did want to do a long, extended write-up... which takes some time... and decided to throw us some voter in the interim to keep the thread moving.

Buying time but mainly for coding work, and because work has been too busy to let me properly come up with the sort of post I want for this sequence.

Captain's Log - 2313.Q1.M1 - Precipice
  • Threadmarks
    • [X][FYM] Captain Langa Mbeki

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24976.2 - Captain Samhaya Mrr'shan

    We have been tasked with a mission of the utmost secrecy, to move into Cardassian territory, doing our damnedest to keep our approach stealthy as possible, and tap into the subspace communications network. I have had impressed on me that this mission cannot fail. Easier said than done, of course.

    My junior staff have come to me with a few ideas for approaching the comm relay that Starfleet Intelligence has in mind, using local anomalies and a very well-tuned shuttle. But getting close enough to launch the shuttle to approach the relay is its own problem.

    And, of course, to make this all extra fun, this is all time critical. Time to pull a Nash!

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24976.5

    We have laid in a course to approach the border, stopping at a very radio-active dwarf star that should be very difficult to track our arrival and exit from, near the coreward edge of the Cardassian border. We are assessing the local subspace conditions to pick our entry course, and to assess what the Starbase at Apinae has discerned of patrol patterns in this region. We will have a window of about a day to make our transit, which sounds like a lot but with the distance we have to cover, it give us a room for error consisting of mere minutes.

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24976.8

    We are within Cardassian claimed space, transiting through the edge of a system's oort cloud to help diffract our subspace wake. It should look like subspace instability, which this region of space is rife with.

    The mood aboard the ship is tense. This is a fine ship, and an elite crew, but top secret missions into the teeth of the enemy's home will test the mettle. I myself am leaning heavily on our Betazoid counsellor to keep me focused.

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24977.0

    We have sustained minor damage. The closest system to the relay has a star throwing up tremendous stellar wind, which causing an almighty ruction as it interacts with the magnetic fields on a big gas giant in the system. We were hiding in its orbit and letting our subspace wake fade away when an electromagnetic surge of tremendous power struck our secondary hull.

    Most of the damage is inconsequential in nature. We are, however, left with the teeny, tiny, matter of the main hanger bay being inoperative.

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24977.2

    Commander Kenichi has been working tirelessly since the accident, leading a crew in vacuum suits into the immensely hostile conditions to conduct emergency repairs upon the hanger doors. All of our hearts are in our mouths as we watch and wait.

    A back-up plan to use transporters to beam the shuttle itself from one shuttle bay to another is also being considered.

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24977.3

    The hanger bays are open again and the shuttle is away! Godspeed, crew!

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24977.5

    What a near-calamity!

    A Cardassian prospector is in the system, around the gas giant, where it has been atmosphere-diving to take samples of gaseous deposits! At the same time, a Jaldun-class vessel has been detected approaching the system through subspace, well ahead of schedule. We had to disable the Prospector and then beam Arthur Acheson and a team across to capture the crew, no small feat itself. Their main objective, however, was capturing the Prospector's backup communications system before it could be used to send a distress signal. After taking the prisoners aboard, we have set the Prospector on a course that will take it deep into the crushing depths of the gas giant, far from any casual observers.

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24977.8

    Another close call. One of the sensor officers has been adamant they have been getting contacts, even though all the other operators were dismissing it as sensor ghosts brought on by stellar wind-magnetic field interactions. Turns out a shuttle from the prospector has been keeping quiet, preparing to surge out of the depths to alert the Jaldun to our presence. We had to use the backup plan originally intended to transfer our own shuttle between bays to instead drop the shuttle into our cargo bay, as it was too late to destroy it, as the Jaldun would detect the weapons fire.

    We had scant time to prepare, but we were able to call upon the experiences of other explorer corps ships with energy suppression fields to rig one up in the shuttle bay before beaming it in. it is now docile as a lamb.

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 24977.9

    Our shuttle is returning, but they'll run smack into the Jaldun! We have had to refit a probe to spoof the signals-presence of a small escort, and then shoot it out towards the tailwards border, then self-destruct after a lightyear. We need to draw the Jaldun away from our returning crew members!

    -

    Captain's Log, USS Enterprise, Stardate 2498.2

    We are on our way back to Federation space, and are using tightbeam subspace connections to the nearest Apinae relay to send the details of what we have found back to the Federation!

    • So I started an archive binge of the Kathalonda quest.

    How bad would it be if one of the Cardassian clients turned out to be a group of imperialist sentient squids?

    Depends on how good they are at it. The Dawiar are imperialist and we can scrape their warships off our windshields, the Romulans are imperialist and we...can't. A possible identity as squids doesn't factor into it.

    I feel a few of them are too "big" relative to the Excelsior. Then again I'm not sure about the size of the Megatortoise, Seyek Explorer, or Sotaw ship, and those stood out as the most oversized to me. Altho in the case of the Seyek ship I get the impression there's a lot more empty space going on.
