Star Trek: The Quadratic War

[General Havoc]

My impression is that the cube is heading toward the combat taskforce, not the main portion of the fleet. Havoc, is this correct?

This is correct. The cube is well away from the main fleet, moving towards the independent task force comprised of the Klingon ships and the Gilgamesh.

And the Samuel B. Roberts! Don't forget the other brave little Fed destroyer!

My abject apologies!

[Agent Fisher]

Correct, however I'm currently in DC and only have my phone, so no posts from me till Friday

[Lys]

GenHavoc! rhoenix! Are you ever going to post, or you going to let the Borg win? I don't want to the Borg to win. ;_;

[rhoenix]

Oh, whoops - I didn't know anyone was waiting on me. I'll get a post done tonight, then.

EDIT: All my ship is doing still is running, and being bait for a frigate - as per Havoc, my ship can't really detect anything to react to.

[Lys]

There's two things for Gilgamesh's crew to react to. Firstly they were just informed by Riskdah that aside from a frigate, they're also being chased by a Cube. Secondly they've been contacted by a ship calling itself the Khanjar which is offering to shoot the frigate off their tail, because they're not going to outrun it otherwise. Once we know whether your ship decides to take mine's offer or not, then Havoc can resolve the actions appropriately. Hopefully I can blow up the Exterminator and the two of us can make ourself scarce before the Cube arrives at our position!

Fair enough - thank you for the recap. I'll act accordingly.

[Agent Fisher]

Well, not a great post, but a post none the less. Sorry for taking so long.

[LadyTevar]

Sorry I was delayed as well. Just a bad week.

[Comrade Tortoise]

No Tev. No. The cube found the secondary forward taskforce consisting of Cyncat et al. It did not find the main group. Funny I need repeat this, as Havoc confirmed it at the top of the page.

[Josh]

In our current clusterfucked state of coordination and confusion, it fits that we have ships going to and fro on bad info.

[LadyTevar]

It's a CUBE, and they're gonna use subspace explosions to deal with it. In my thoughts, we're fucked either way. Only the thought of being alone again keeps Kirk from sailing off without you clowns

[Josh]

Tinkering with the fundamental underlying structure of reality on the fly in the midst of a war zone. Really, what's the worst that can happen?

[General Havoc]

Care to find out...?

Sorry for the usual delays. I'll post as soon as possible.

[Josh]

Care to find out...?

Sure!

[General Havoc]

So after a lengthy hiatus in which I completed my eighteen-page diatribe on East-Nepalese Yak Herders, I am getting this thing rolling once more. GM post is up and let's get the fireworks started.

[Lys]

There are two Klingon battlecruisers in the scene. Give the Christmas tree comment, I take it that it blew past mine and is chasing the other one, just as planned. Correct?

[General Havoc]

Correct. Yours is welcome to eviscerate the frigate as planned. The cube has interpreted the Riskadh as its primary target.

[Lys]

Enriov Charvanek sings about the joys of helping friends by laying deadly ambushes, and here comes the boom.

[Josh]

I think most of us are kind of in the 'waiting for the big bang' holding pattern here. That's where I'm at.

[Lys]

We need rhoenix to state whether he's going dodge or not, someone poke him and tell him. Due to things like distance and geometry the whole ambush scene with Khanjar and Gilgamesh would actually take place a few minutes before Kadon can finish luring the Cube into the maelstrom and then blowing up said maelstrom. Which is good, because I don't intend to hang around and find out just how much of the Badlands are going to be consumed by this insanity.

[rhoenix]

My apologies, everyone - I'll get a post in tonight.

[Josh]

So we're back in business?

[rhoenix]

So we're back in business?

Looking like, yes. I am pleased.
