Adm Matt Helm: ::The Screen suddenly came alive the emblem of SFC. Captain Danrea appeared on the screen:: Captain Danrea, This is Admiral Helm. I hear there's been an incident. Tell me what's up.
MarkDanrea: Mark was sitting on the Bridge of the Thunder looking over the readings and watching Com traffice for any word from Helm and or Brock. Seeing his screen come to life. " Long story Sir.. Rain and his new ship went missing.. We lost the USS Mirge and I am thinking I need to know what the new ship has for drive systems so I can try to Find Rain and the ship."
Adm Matt Helm: ::He rubbed his chin in thought for a moment.:: A lot of that information was erased to avoid capture by the Impostors when that base was evacuated. The only one who knows exactly what that ship has is the A.I. Rumor has it, though, that this has some kind of a temporal drive. That technology is not in use anywhere in the Federation right now. If this is true, they may have used it for some reason, or it went off accidently.
MarkDanrea: " So if they did I need to know how to get them back or do I head back to Sierra One and let the Admiral there know what you told me or do I go and try to find a way to get where they are at?"
Adm Matt Helm: Your ship can't go through time. Even if it could how would you know where they were? Captain Raintree is a clever and resourceful man. I think he'll find his way home. The only thing I want you to do is concentrate on the impostors. Don;t try to take them on, I want to know how many there are, if you can find that out. What we need is intel. Pure and simple.
MarkDanrea: "Under stood Sir.. I will send word to Sierra one and we will head back to the great Barrier and into it to find that out."
Adm Matt Helm: You're not going to have scanners in there. I want you to wait and watch and see what they are doing. The barrier has unpredictable effects on ships' systems. Don't take any unnecessary risks. I can;t afford to lose your ship, too.
MarkDanrea: A nod of his head was given " Under stood Sir."
Adm Matt Helm: Keep Koval posted and tell her to keep in touch with me. God speed, Captain. Helm out.
MarkDanrea: "Thunder out."

HuMaxx20: ::It had been some time since the Android had been to Starfleet Command. He could remember a time when he had never even set foot on Earth. It was over a hundred years from his "birth" before he even went to Earth at all. When he first came online, his home was Utopia planetia. After the death of Dr Daystrom, Starfleet didn't know what to do with him. He had been intrumental in helping the engineers and working with the construction of ships. He had actually made friends there among the engineers with whom he worked. Still, he was thought of as another "M5". A monster waiting to emerge. A danger, a disaster waiting to happen. Had he not been requested by Admiral Gloria Freitag on the Ticonderoga, Starfleet may well have destroyed him. Before his thoughts could wander anymore, he approached the Admiral's office. His assistant announced him to the Admiral and then let him in the offfice.::
Adm Matt Helm: ::Matt stood up smiling as HuMaxx entered.:: I almost forgot you went flesh tone. ::Chuckles.:: You look terrific, Commander . Please, have a seat. How's the Hyperion been running?
HuMaxx20: ::He sat across from the Admiral. She is a fine ship, sir. I'm proud to serve aboard her. And thank you for seeing me on such short notice, Admiral.
Adm Matt Helm: It's no trouble at all, Commander. Mya I call you Max? Call me Matt. No reason to be formal all the time. Now, what's on your mind?
HuMaxx20: Well,......Matt. I am here in reference to the "Message in a bottle" That Captain Danrea recovered near the barrier.
Adm Matt Helm: Concerning the USS Icarus? Yes, that's very interesting news. I wonder if their colony still exists.
HuMaxx20: That is exactly why I'm here, matt. ::He shifted in his chair momentarily:: You see, over a hundred years ago, my old ship, the Ticonderoga had intended to try and solve the mystry of the Icarus. Captain Raintree believed that Starfleet comes back for her own. The reason the Icarus went on such a far mission, was to find out what happened to the USS Valiant. The men and women of the Icarus sacrificed all to attempt to find out what happened to the Valiant. Should we not do the same for them? Sir......Matt I respectfully request to complete the Ticonderoga's scheduled mission. Had it not been for the Delta Maxia incident, we may have done something back then.
Adm Matt Helm: ::He sat back and sighed:: Max, if you want your own ship, I'd give you one in a second, but the truth is, I don't have a ship to give you. You know we're working overtime to get the fleet back up in numbers. I understand why you want to do this, and I agree wholeheartedly with your reasoning, but the Admiralty won't approve such a mission until the fleet is back up.
HuMaxx20: As far as not having a ship, Matt, that is not entirely true. There is a ship available. The USS Bradbury. That's the ship I want.
Adm Matt Helm: ::Matt touched his computer console and brought up information on the USS Bradbury.:: Max that ship is in drydock. They used her for an experiment to test a new warp system, which didn't do well. Why would you want that ship?
HuMaxx20: I've inspected the ship already, Admiral. all we need to do is remove the experimental equipment that was being tested. If we take all of that out, and sim;ply hook up the engines in a more standard fashion, The ship's design, while somewhat unorthodox, would lend itself well to going through the barrier. She was built to be an advanced exploration and research vessel. She posseses a new kind of outer sheilding designed to protect her from anomalies and stellar phenomena, in order to facilitate close up study. That, coupled with metaphasic and multiphasic shields with new protocols, as well as the overall construction of the ship, make her the ideal ship for this mission. I request the help of Amir Khambatti, and an engineering team from utopia planetia.
Adm Matt Helm: Well, that's nothing unreasonable. Unless Captain Dantara gets upset about losing Amir. ::Laughs:: And of course, I'll have to promote you to Captain.
HuMaxx20: Actually, no, Matt. I do not aspire to a Captaincy. I will find a crew. It is my wish to become.........an Ambassador.
Adm Matt Helm: ::Matt reached into his small cabinet and took out a bottle and two small glasses. he poured them both a drink, took his glass in hand and sat back:: An Ambassador. ::Takes a drink:: Mind telling me what brought this on? Max you're a d**n good officer! one of my best. Why would you want to give that up? Your record is exemplary.
HuMaxx20: ::Max took his own glass in hand, taking a drink.:: Be that as it may, Admiral, There is still a "Black cloud" of my past. One which haunts me, even today.
Adm Matt Helm: Black cloud?
HuMaxx20: Yes, Admiral. M5. Though I am not my brother, nor am I responsible for what he did, whenever thae relatonship between M5 and myself comes up, there are always those who still feel that I must be dangerous, as he was. You'd think I could shake that stigma in nearly one hundred and twenty years. As an Ambassador, I am sworn to do no harm and promote goodwill and understanding. There could be a whole community living outside the barrier. A whole new frontier to explore. But first we must find this colony if it yet exists. I think it does. Only now are we realizing that there are far more rogue stars outside the barrier that was originaly surmised. ::He finished his drink.:: Admiral.....matt, I have never asked anything of Starfleet. I have served Starfleet diligently and with unswerving loyalty. I have never shown any signs of being anything even remotely like M5. Still I am compared to him. Still I am considered dangerous. Still, people talk in front of me as though i were an inanimate object. I ask for this one thing now. An opportunity to do something greater. Something......human. But most importantly, : somthing for those people out there whose ancestors travelled for years in a Dedaelus class ship to find out what happened to a lost ship. Who will sacrifice for those who have sacrificed so much, Admiral? I wish to make the sacrifice they did. They are our people. And I wish to honor Captain Raintree's memory by completing this mission he felt was so important.
Adm Matt Helm: ::He sat, Looking at the Android, taking in all he had said. This was no machine he was talking to. this was a man. A very human man.:: Max, I can't think of a way to tell you no. So I won't. I only wish I could go with you. But first things first. Get yourself over to Utopia P. and I'll have a team waiting for you. Show me that she's spaceworthy again. In the meantime, I'll get Ambassador O'connor to get things started for you on that end. Let me know what the ship needs and I'll requisition it for you. And max, It's nice to know that when and if you're lost, there's someone around who would want to come bring you home. Would you please arrange to be available some point to talk to the Cadets. I want them to know what you are going to do, and why. It's important that we try to instill those beliefs in the young. Those values. Just as you've re-awakened those beliefs in me. I thank you for that.
HuMaxx20: ::He stood:: And I am most grateful to you, Admiral. You will have a progress report on the Bradbury within the week. As for the Cadets, I would be honored. Just tell me the time and place. Or send them over to the ship. I'll put them to work. ::Smiles::

Nikko Kushani: :Nikko would wlak up to Admiral Helm's Office as he rings the chime.: Adm Matt Helm: ::Hears the door:: Enter. Nikko Kushani: :Nikko walks in as he stands at attention. ''Hello Admiral Helm.'' Adm Matt Helm: Captain Kushani! As you were. have a seat. What brings you down here to the realm of Chair-bound paper pushers? ::Smiles:: Nikko Kushani: :Takes a seat.: ''Well sir i recived a startling transmission from planet Adradda in the Caldera sector Where My crew and I made first contact with the people there. Adm Matt Helm: ::Nods:: I heard about that. the Planet that nearly destroyed itself trying to fake a war. Nikko Kushani: It seems another faction is trying to take over power from Grand Tarkus Vulkmir and that side wants to gain access to the machines my second officer manages to make peace with Nikko Kushani: Also The Adraddian Intel also capture images of 4 sphere like objects approching the Caldera Sector. :hands him the padds with the info.: Myself and HuMaxx and Lorik may fear its the borg. Adm Matt Helm: ::Looksa at the PADD:: It's possible. I'd like you to gather intel out there and wee what the situation is. If you need, I'll see about sending some backup. Nikko Kushani: I am asking if we do required backup to send the following ships allow me to have the Uss Challenger a akira class vessel and the Uss Charger a Saber Class Vessel to follow us. Nikko Kushani: I have worked with those Captains before they are fine officers. We will head out there at once sir. As soon as we gather repairs and supplies we will make our way out there hopefluuy using our slipstream drive. Adm Matt Helm: ::Nods:: I don;t see how that will be a problem. I'll assign them to your group. Just let the Captains know when you're ready for departure. Nikko Kushani: Very well I will and if we require more backup I will send you a subspace message. I am hoping after this incidence prehaps we can reunite the Addraians and Grand Tarkus will ask for membership in the federation. Nikko Kushani: That is all I require I thank you for your time sir. :stands as he salutes him.: Adm Matt Helm: Good luck, Captain. and God speed. Nikko Kushani: Thank you ::walks out of the office::
