Rumor has it... (IC)

There are some who say the grav generators on deck 1 of the Tykera have been slightly tweaked to below Starfleet standard, in order to afford CMDR Netal a spring in her step at all times.

Rumor has it that Admiral Bishop visited Earth to make love to a mountain. For it is made of rocks, and he likes to lick them to see if they are bones. He may have even climbed it.

Supposedly in a random side conversation, Alina was reminded there was an awards ceremony and actually wasn’t aware they still did those.

Then someone mentioned Nimitz being a Commodore and after a solid minute Alina just said “… Why?” In the most genuinely perplexed way possible.

“It’s the Iconians.”

“No, I’m pretty sure they would have just vaporized us.”

“Then it’s the Romulans!”

“After their failed push on the Republic? I doubt the Tal Shiar can infiltrate their way out of a paper bag right now.”

“Okay smart guy, what about the Klingons?”

“What about them?”

“Maybe this is their big push! You know, finally conquer us with this whole Khitomer thing!”

“And the first step in defeating the Federation is demobilizing one fleet deployment out on the spinward edge of nowhere?”

“I… I don’t know. I guess it just doesn’t seem real, y’know? The 38th getting folded into some big… weird Alliance thing.”

“It’s like T’Evok always says; infinite diversity, infinite combinations. We’re just seeing a new combination. Besides, it’s not like anything’s gonna change for us on the station. Six months from now we’ll still be right here, grabbing drinks and watching Delta shift across the promenade while you talk nonsense.”

“Yeah… yeah, I guess you’re right… Unless it’s the Kzinti!”

“Ooo’kay, that’s enough synthehol for you.”

  • the Alliance plans to phase out Starfleet personnel on the base completely within its first year of control
  • the Alliance plans to keep as many Starfleet personnel on base as possible, but only to use as cannon fodder in the next big war
  • the Alliance plans to convert the Starfleet personnel who remain on base into true AFS believers via a complex program of subtle influence, intimidation, and indoctrination
  • the Alliance has no plans whatsoever
