Hmm, should we give ka'Sharren the ok to let the Romulan Admiral establish their flag on the Enterprise?

No new options that I can see except for the phaser kits that would finish too late to matter, so voting as discussed.

[X] [Starfleet Command] Mobilise an Asset (1 turn)
[X] [Federation Emergency Council] Mobilise an Asset (1 turn)

Probably an internal and an external diplomacy team unless there is some overwhelmingly good new option.

[X] [Andorian Civil Engineering Team] Fortify Solitude Outpost (+2 C, +2 S) (2 turns)
[X] [Starfleet Medical Command] Evacuate Liath V (55k) to Andor Sector (1 turn)
[X] [Tellarite Mining Expedition] Scuttle Arcori III shipyards (1 turn)

Fortify the largest colony with shipyards (evacuation is impractical and it's a strategically important base), scuttle the shipyards at the colony we just evacuated and evacuate the last remaining shipyard colony. All three locations have already been targets last turn.

[X] [Starfleet Infectious Disease Institute] Biophage Vaccine Research Rush - (1 turn)
[X] [Vulcan Science Academy Detachment] Ulith III Biophage General Research Rush (1 turn)
[X] [Starfleet Tactical Command - Tiger Team] Biophage Combat Research Rush (1 turn)
[X] [Commodore T'Faer] Suicide Shuttle Countermeasures (1 turn)

Research changes as previously discussed.

[X] [Starfleet Tactical Command - Runabout Recon Squadron] Scout Neutral Zone Area 3 (2 turn)

Continue scouting rimwards, the Romulans are already covering Area 2.

[X] [RBZ Fleet - Commodore T'Faer] Own Initiative

T'Faer has been doing a fine job so far, no need to micromanage.

[X] [Admiral] accept

Are the Romulans scouting? I got the impression that their fleet was holding position guarding their colony.

Are we sure of this?

(Also: "Mobilise an Asset" = "add another team to the teams we already have", correct?)

Also, you missed out one:
USS Enterprise and the Romulan Admiral
Captain ka'Sharren on the USS Enterprise reports that the Admiral of the Romulan Fleet would like to establish his flag on her ship, and is requesting guidance.
  • Accept
  • Deny

Otherwise
[-] Nix <-- tentative
[-] Deny

We should play a game of dice with that dear councilor. Let's see how willing he is to back O'Hara when it means putting millions on the line to save hundreds while the odds are against you.

The Vulcans are saving lifes right now too. Potential lifes at risk, rather than people in direct danger, but far more than O'hara ever will if he continued with his stunt. That's without detracting the number of lives he put at risk and the ones that will die at the hands of the ship he let escape.
 
Reorganized my vote and gave it a plan name so people can vote for everything except my choice to accept the admiral, which seems to be contentious.

vote
[] Plan Fortify Solitude
[] [Admiral] deny

If you want to do that.

I'll just back shiny lion guy, until someone provides a good reason not to.

[X] [Admiral] accept

Hey, if we really do have the best ship in their fleet, it would be irresponsible to not loan it out as a flagship! Any smug-points gained are merely incidental.

Edit:
Also, do we get diplomacy/research points from anything that we so happen to overhear from said Romulan Admiral? :D

This crisis is the gift that keeps on giving in terms of forcing the Rommies to be our friends, and I'll not let it go to waste.
 
@OneirosTheWriter : You didn't get around to answering my question about the empaths yet and I think we'd know in character by now? Did I get it right that they are stationed on the Kumari, failed to sense anything special from orbit when cleansing Liath V and weren't present at any of the encounters with cloaked shuttles?
 
Just a heads up that I did clean up the text in the turn post. Hopefully the who does what is now clearer.

They were present for Liath V and was able to detect the Biophage from orbit, however not with sufficient clarity to make any important observation at this stage. They were not present at the evacuation, as they were assisting USS Kumari at the Indi Beta point.

So, they're being moved around so much that their contribution/bonus is... for lack of a better word, random?

I just want to quickly thank Oneiros for this quest. You're a goddamn updating machine! I swear every time I check my phone I've got a new delicious chapter to read. Cheers.

Excellent. Now that they have been shown to be potentially useful, and empathic contact has apparently been shown not to be all that terrible, at least at great distance, we should consider asking Betazed for more teams who need not be quite as experienced. Have they changed their mind on insisting to stay in one group by any chance?

Not random, they are staying on the flagship just as you would expect.

If we manage to wheedle a second team, maybe try a mix and match: rearrange things so each team is half of team A (experienced) and half of team B (new). That way, they can stay in their teams, and still be somewhat experienced in detecting the 'phage
 
A rather uncomfortable thought: Crew experience boni have a pretty big mechanical impact in this game. If the Inflictor could compose a dream team based on the best skills of all assimilated crews and replicate that across all ships that would seriously suck. Yet another potential way for the situation to already be doomed.
