  • [Runabout Pennine - Asteroid 767] [1830 hrs] Taz spun the chair around away from his console and facing the crew compartment. "Here it is. We land on the asteroid and explore the surface with EVA suits." Jonas found that when plans were …
  • [USS Sheffield - Out there] [Bridge] [Mission Day 37 - 1300 hours] "Captain, sensors show an asteroid field ahead." Taz called out from the science station. Jonas sat up in his chair. This was just the sort of thing he was seeking. An as…
  • [USS Sheffield - Barzan System] [Bridge] [Mission Day 15 - 1400 hrs] Diassa looked up from her station, "Captain, Starbase 38 is signalling that the wormhole is opening." "Onscreen." He commanded. A moment later the viewscreen …
  • [USS Sheffield:Devron Fleet Yards] [Bridge] [Mission Day 1] "Captain's Log Stardate 2399.04.01 We are nearly complete taking charge of the USS Sheffield and our crew. The crew is excited for our coming deep space exploration mission. Once we …
  • The USS Sheffield has recently been commissioned and  assigned to Task Force 38. Her missions are to explore  the Gradin Belt Area of the Delta Quadrant, to create  new alliances and strengthen relations with current  friends, and to Boldly Go... 
  • Jonas took a long drink. He started to say something else, but paused and took another drink. He shook his head as if to try to clear it. "No matter where you or I end up." He pointed vaguely towards space. "It's still out there into…
  • Jonas laughed, "True enough. That's Starfleet for you." He took a drink and emptied his glass. He motioned to the bartender for a refill. "I had originally planned to fill my ship full of warriors or at least warrior types, now I'm …
  • Jonas leaned in, this question was definitely interesting. He was curious as to what tactics Starfleet and the Federation would be willing to employ to protect its citizens and allies from unscrupulous trading interests.
  • Jonah took a drink, "Hopeful. I've been doing analysis after analysis. Since I'm most probably on the Task Force 38 deep space exploration, I've studied starship stats after starship stats. I have no idea what ship class I'll have. It would …
  • Jonas considered what Admiral Woodward had said about the Alpha Quadrant. All the other Task Forces seemed to be focused on exploration and expansion, but, in his opinion, Task Force 72 seemed to be focused on border defense. The exploration and e…
  • Jonas smiled, "It's a lot of fun. I could see our Klingon allies getting a real kick out of this holo." He looked around the hall. "There's an authentic air to this hall. I could feel myself leaving here to get on a longboat and g…
  • Jonas found the invitation to be fascinating. He did a quick search for Vikings with red hair. He found 'Erik the Red.' It was easy to get into character. He replicated his outfit. (Image) Jonas stepped into the holosuite. "Ho there fell…
  • Jonah thought about the logistics of sending sixteen ships on what seems to be a multi-year mission and supporting said vessels. "Fleet Captain Hayden, I've got several questions. First, without a fixed base in the Delta Quadrant, how will you…
  • Jonas thought about the bluntness of the reply, but then realized that the answer was projected off of pre-recorded answers. It may have been too obvious of an answer, but it did reinforce Jonas' impression that he had after the first part of the b…
  • "I'll drink to that." Jonas clinked his glass against Raan's. Jonas glanced over at the clock. "Speaking of tolerances, we'd better head back to the conference room or we'll be late."
  • "Mr Murphy does tend to intervene at inopportune times." Jonas thought about the times in the past that Murphy had intervened in his life. "Whether it's flying or engineering or shooting, the key is to know what your men and equipme…
  • "Even edited and sanitized, the briefings still at least give me a feel for what I can expect when I get to the area." He looked down and saw that his burger and fries were gone. Jonas didn't remember eating all of it, but then when you …
  • Jonas thought for a moment, "Those can definitely hold their own. I think you'll be able to find plenty of action, no matter which task force you get assigned. Although, I've heard that Task Force 93 has their share of pirate and smuggling is…
  • Jonas hesitated before asking his question, but decided to ask anyway. "Is there a plan to establish a more permanent presence in the Gradin Belt, i.e. placing a space station as a defense and resupply point at the Gradin Belt end of the wormh…
  • Jonas took a bite and chewed for a moment to phrase his answer, "Originally, still fly the odd shuttle now and then. There's different challenges flying small craft versus flying the larger stuff. The Defiant handles almost like a fighter whe…
  • Jonas took another bite of his burger, "That I can agree to." He paused as he chewed. "I've piloted a million shuttles, an Ambassador, an Olympic, and had temporary command of a Nova and a Defiant, so there's no telling what class t…
  • Jonas nodded, "I know I'm being assigned to Task Force 38, so I paid extra attention to the Delta Briefing. Although, you know how Starfleet works, just because they initially say they're assigning me to 38, doesn't mean that's where I'll end u…
  • "The Diligent is a capable ship. I don't know that I'd want to be out there in a Diligent all by myself, but if I was with a task group, it might be safe enough. I definitely like the Diligent better than the Saber." Jonas paused, "…
  • "The alcohol's worn off, it's the briefing that has my head swimming. I knew the Delta Quadrant was large, but I didn't really understand how large. It makes me reconsider the class of ships I would like to command. Before, I was thinking ab…
  • Jonas was interested. This was the 'to Boldly Go' that he had joined Starfleet to do. He wasn't overly interested in the science side of exploration, but he was interested in the meeting new races and new civilizations in the far off areas. He kn…
  • Jonas watched Bob as he cooked the breakfast. Bob use of all four of his arms independently was fascinating to watch. In a matter of minutes, Bob had cooked Jonas' breakfast. Plating the breakfast was almost as interesting as cooking. Bob slid t…
  • Jonas took another drink, glass was empty again. He stood up to motion to the bartender. The moment he stood up, things started to spin. He stumbled backwards and fell onto the floor beside Captain McAllister's table. He pulled himself up and sa…
  • Jonas smiled, "I'll be fine for the briefing." Jonas took a sip of his latest drink. "Drinking whiskey is practically the Irish national sport." He took another sip.
  • Jonas saw Raksha wave. He took another drink, then turned towards her, "Welcome to our conference of commanders. Commander Chandra, this is Commander Rourke," he said pointing to Rourke. "And Commander, " He squinted at the oth…
  • Jonas looked over at the new arrival, "Rourke and I were just discussing the impact this Osiris initiative will have on our commands. Where do you stand?" Jonas took another drink from his whiskey and emptied his glass again. He motioned…
