Hello everyone,
And yes, the rumors of my stories' demise have been greatly exaggerated. I'll use the same excuse as I did last time and blame work, but I've also had my hands full with a translation project I got hired to do earlier this year. I like writing my own stories, but they don't pay the bills do they?
Anyways..
I could have started with ...
"If I didn't see it, I wouldn't believe it. They're absolutely huge! You could fit the Albion and the Discovery inside one of them end to end and still have room to spare, and I've done battle in less space than even that!"
Chapter 2
USS DARWIN, COMMAND BRIDGE
CLOSE TO ALPHA CENTAURI
JULY 16TH, 2243
He was a scientist, at least he kept telling himself ...
"Still, no matter how stoic you were used to the Vulcans being them not showing the slightest remorse about their race not even existing here was just plain creepy."
USS ICARUS, ASTROMETRICS LAB
EMPTY SPACE
The main reason why she had come over to the Icarus in the first place was because her own ship lacked the large and very specific display unit which was right in ...
"He was a little apprehensive at the fact that the entire fleet were essentially hiding out within what was effectively by most other races considered to be Earth-claimed space."
USS DARWIN, COMMAND BRIDGE
SOL, BEYOND PLUTO ORBIT
JULY 21ST, 2243
Even at maximum magnification the azure blue planet only took up less than a quarter of the viewscreen at this ...
"I know the Albion doesn't feel the effects yet, but she's not a design standard Sovereign either."
Chapter 3
USS ALBION, DECK 8 SICKBAY
GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT ABOVE VULCAN
JULY 19TH, 2243. 10:00 HOURS
The admiral still felt a little weak, but at least he wasn't as tired as he had been anymore. Not that he'd actually appreciated being stuck in sickbay ...
"This is an Earth-designed starship as they look in this universe, and yes she really is this big. From what weve been able to decipher shes also not unique but rather one of several hundred of her class."
USS ALBION, CONFERENCE ROOM
GEOSTATIONARY ORBIT ABOVE VULCAN
18 HOURS LATER
Jameson was slightly stressed as he almost ran down the corridors from the ...
"Trust me, if the Centauri Emperor had lost his hair we'd have heard about it from a lot more sources than just him. It'd be the greatest story of the year to anyone and everyone in the entire Centauri court."
USS MICHAEL, HANGAR DECK C
SIRIUS III POLAR ORBIT
AUGUST 2ND, 2243
Jack was still glad to have survived, no matter what the current situation was. Being ...
"He'd always wanted to try building a Dyson sphere and who actually cared about two small and underdeveloped moons where the most advanced life form was a four inch long and quite poisonous lizard?"
Chapter 4
SIRIUS III
ELYSIUM SETTLEMENT
SEPTEMBER 9TH, 2243
The large Danube-class runabout hovered silently above him while it slowly slid the heavy metal alloy ...
"The worst that could have happened was I missed by a few inches, and we both know that wouldn't have damaged anything of consequence."
GENEVA, EARTH
MIDNIGHT
Her name meant laughter in her people's own tongue. That was hardly a name appropriate for the kind of work she did so shed changed it when she got recruited. Her new name roughly translated as poisonous ...
"Seriously, this human telepath organization took itself far too seriously when it required every single one of their own to dress up like members some kind of post-industrial freak show."
Chapter 5
ADMIRAL'S OFFICE, STARFLEET COMMAND
ELYSIUM, SIRIUS III
SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2243
"I see it, but I can barely believe it. You're really sure it would work?"...
"Outside, a bottle of Andorian ale began its final journey, not towards the more suitable destination of a fine crystal glass but rather towards the bow of the blocky ship."
EARTH INTELLIGENCE AGENCY HEADQUARTERS
EARTHDOME, GENEVA, EARTH
23:05 HOURS
Parker hadn't even noticed it before. He'd been too focused on his current actual assignment monitoring the ...
The fourth part of Chapter 58 STARBASE BABYLON CAPTAIN'S OFFICE "All our previous sensor sweeps have failed to show any life forms or any automated systems on the surface of the planet", the scientist stated, "or, for a depth of roughly three and a half kilometers inside the planet." "Doctor, that beacon has to come from somewhere", Kira stated evenly. "I agree, and I think...

Quote: Originally Posted by Gyre More then scavenging I think. Now that the EA knows warp drive is possible, you can be sure a well funded research project is under way. It's a question of when, not if the EA will develop their own warp drive. As the 'when' to even basic warp drive can be measured in decades or centuries, it's not really relevant to the story. They don't just have a major engineering challenge, they...

According to the show he met her during the war before the final stages, so in theory Garibaldi already knew her before the Feds showed up. Likely it'll unfold the same was as original, though he may or may not hook up with Dodger. 25,000 EA Marines just passing through the...
