7 May: Proportional Response

One week ago, an Eledri extremist organization called The Liberty Brigade hijacked a civilian freighter, murdered all twenty-four crewmembers, then used it to gain access to Deep Space 13, where they planted a pair of explosives. Thanks to Starfleet personnel, both of the original targets of the attack were unharmed, but Captain Andre Freeman lost his life.

In the wake of the attack, the Federation released a statement which promised to take steps to prevent further acts of terrorism. A number of 38th Fleet personnel have been selected to attend a pre-mission briefing at Gamma Shift.

This will be an RP-combat oriented event. Characters with a specialization in security or ground combat preferred, though there will be a bridge-based aspect of the mission to accommodate others as well.

I will absolutely be there for the bridge-oriented portion. Time to deal out some implacable Vulcan justice!

I'd like to, but like other events this weekend I'm assuming I won't make it. Still, considering the time for this... it is not impossible. I may show up yet... however I might settle for a bridge role for simplicity if I do.
This is something I can make it to! \o/

the title is proportional response, not kill the mosquito with a hammer. If not, then why not ask Mandukar if she has any WMD's we could borrow. I think that running with emotions on this, myself included, could have consequences.
It's unlikely I'd be able to attend, but I'll try nonetheless. Alternatively, I'll keep Timo posted about what will be decided in the meeting.

Indeed, Jed Bartlet was - eventually - persuaded to act in a more measured, limited, and prudent form. (In an episode that shares this title, in fact.)

She might have something.

An old Klingon proverb says that revenge is a dish best served cold. Another, more obscure one says that proportional response is a dish best served with mashed potatoes and gravy.
