Episode II: The Ambassador

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

Captain Alexander Kynes sat in his chair on the bridge of the crippled starship USS Endeavour. Towed by three Federation starships, the Constitution class vessel sped towards the towering Starbase 29.
"Ensign," he pointed briefly at the communications officer.
"Please send a message to the three vessels that we will need to be dropped off near docking port 4. Repair crews are ready to commence the refit as soon as we dock with the base..."
"Yes sir," said the Com Officer, sending the text message in commendable time, considering the ship's compromised systems.
"And one more thing, Ensign..."
"Yes...?"
"Send them my thanks on their timely arrival to the Nebula."

It was not long before the Starbase loomed into view. Enjoying the aesthetic qualities of the base from the viewscreen, Kynes watched as the Endeavour was loosened from the other ships' tractor beams. Lieutenant (JG) Zala carefully piloted the Endeavour into the docking bay, as many of the crew prepared to leave the vessel and enjoy a bit of shore leave after their strenuous conflict with the Klingon Renegades.

Suddenly, a visage appeared on the viewscreen. It was Admiral Graham Dawson, the Commanding Officer of the Starbase and a casual acquaintence of Kynes'.

"Captain Kynes! It's good to see you," Admiral Dawson toned calmly.
"The sentiment is mutual, Admiral," replied the Captain with a small smile. The viewscreen flickered and fuzzed momentarily.
"Your ship is quite battered, but you can trust our repair crews. They are the best in the fleet, and they will look after the USS Endeavour quite well. During the meantime, your crew may relax and enjoy the comforts of our base," said the Admiral.
"Thank you, sir. The Endeavour will have sucessfully docked within minutes, Admiral."
"That's good to hear. Fleet Admiral Dawson out."

[Commander Vorak]

As the final moments of the docking procedur concluded Vorak was still sitting the chair as the rest of the crew began to leave.
"I will get down to the engine room and help with the repairs" he told them.

[Lt Matina Jade]

She however carried on walking until she reached and bar and sat down with a drink, still in her uniform. She then took out a padd a began writting..

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

Captain Kynes left the bridge, and travelled through the battered corridors of the USS Endeavour, until he found his way out of the vessel, and into the infrastructure of the starbase. After making a few brief farewells to various crew members as they headed to the promonade, Kynes took the turbolift to Deck 1 of the Starbase. He had to attend the debriefing of the Klingon conflict...

"...We hid inside the Nebula, and evaded the enemy vessels until the Enterprise, the Galway, and the Trident came to the rescue," explained Kynes finishing his account of the battle.

Admiral dawson stroked his chin and fell into a momentary state of deep thought.
"We contacted the Klingon Empire on this matter, and they claim to never have implemented the order to attack your starship. They also suspect that the crew that attacked your ship was part of a Renegade Organization of Klingon rebels called the Shield of Kah'less. They are an isolationist group, trying to maintain a heightened state of war-like sentiment throughout the Klingon Empire. They have begun to die out, as peace and inter-racial acceptance strengthens, but they still remain a deadly threat to the peace between the Federation and Klingon Empire. They will stop at nothing to keep the Klingon Empire from signing a peace treaty with the Federation."

Kynes remained silent for a few seconds, taking in all of the information. After completely taking in everything he had heard, Captain Kynes spoke.
"How serious a threat is this Shield of Kah'less to the Federation? Is it something to worry about?" Kynes asked.
"It depends how the next few months work out with the brewing plot of diplomacy between the Klingons and our peoples," Dawson replied, stroking his chin once again. Kynes nodded, and hung his head, remembering the battle.
"Captain..." said Dawson in a much more compassionate voice.
"I'm sorry for what you and your crew went through. It's a hell of a way to start a deep space exploration mission."
Kynes nodded, not saying anything.
"Your crew can recupperate here for the next week while the USS Endeavour gets refitted. Alexander smiled.
"I think the crew would be delighted to hear that!"

[Beathan MacAinmire]

The young Lt.(jg) walked around aimlessly on the starship. It was his first Starship duty and he wanted to meet some of the crew. It was his First time on a Starbase at that. Every now and again he would almost walk into somebody cause he was in such aw of the size of the star base. Finally he found a hight ranking officer.
"Lad, um...I mean Sir. Um, ye woul'nt know where the Cap'in of d'a
USS Endeavour?" Beathan said with his thick Scottish accent.

Tag: Anybody with higher rank than Lt. Jg.

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

The captain smiled.
"That would be me," he said to the Lieutenant Junior Grade. Kynes had just left Admiral Dawson's office, and was heading down to the promonade for dinner.
"What can I do for you, Lieutenant?" he asked the Medical Officer.

[Daniel Clark]

Daniel had headed down to the engine room and looked about there was no-one there, so he dis-embarked endeavour and walked around the starbase.
He walked around a corner and saw Captain Kynes and another officer talking
'Captain good to see you sir' He said 'Any news on the re-fit, I've looked at the specs and personally, i can't wait to get my hands on the re-fitted engine room'

[Commander Vorak]

As soon as Daniels had turned out of the engine room Vorak came around the corner. He never stopped working and theat was the way he preferred it, besides if everyone took time off who would there be to help the station crews with the refit of the vessel?
He continued to scan the consol over before setting down the tricorder and opening up the front panel. "Burnt out, replacment needed" he noted into his communicator.

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

"We will be staying here for the next week or so, whilst the Endeavour is being refitted," explained Kynes to the Chief Engineer.
"In the meantime, I suggest you rest."

[Daniel Clark]

'Aye Sir' Said Daniel

[Beathan MacAinmire]

"Well Cap'in, I be just meetin' the crew, before I get on da ship. I be Beathan you're nu assitant medical offecer." Said the Lt in his accent. "Would ye like to have a guest with ya fur dinner?"

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

"I'd be honoured," said Kynes.
It was a short walk to the promonade.
"What do you feel like eating?" Alexander asked.

[Beathan MacAinmire]

"Ah, sir, shall I introduce ya to Scottish cuisine? Wait sir, tell me yur no' a bloody vegetarian? Wait your a bloody Vulcan...I guess there goes that idea. All us Scots have ta eat is meat. Like Haggis, its made of sheep...no ya da'na wana hear about it. Their is the MacSweens vegetarian "haggis", but its just not Haggis, its, its, its not real haggis. The only thing thats left from the real haggis is the bloody oatmeal!"He said "Um, sir, um sorry sir about calling ya a bloody Vulcan."

OOC:Um...crap I just realised what i posted...i'm sorry Its midnight...i do that.

[Commander Vorak]

Vorak had walked in during this chat and had approached them quietly.
"Mr McAinmire, I am a Vulcan and I can honestly say that my judgments of his command ability's aside he is most certainly not a Vulcan." He then walked up and handed the Captain a pad of notes.
"Repairs are underway sir, I have begun administering the procedure from the bridge and the engine room. We should be space worthy again in 12 to 18 days."

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

Kynes laughed briefly.
"Haha lad," chuckled the Captain to the Assistent Med Officer.
"I was born in Belfast, in Ireland. I'm a Terran!"
