Rigil's New Endeavour thread...

[Dinah]

Those sneaky, sneaky Romulans! I like what you're doing with this story. There's plenty of action, but you're giving even more time to your characters. Eisler, Hayes and D'deridex are every bit as interesting as Hoshi and Archer; you're doing a great job bringing your original characters to life.

Not true. It might look that way, but it wouldn't be accurate to say that. Think of Red Sabre as Delta Force, or SEAL Team Six whereas the section is more along the lines of a 1950s or 1960s CIA assassination team. If you put a spook up against a trained killer in a one-on-one encounter, the killer is likely to win...

Well yes and no....I know of CIA members who are ex-seals/ Special Forces.

In cases like those it would be hard to say.

In any case this story just gets better and better!

[Rigil Kent]

OMG!!! Its a good thing T'Pol aint human. Cause I think Ol Trip would get slapped upside the head for Naming a massive frozzen chunk of ice after her.

You misunderstand the naming scheme. T'Pol's name is added because she is the official "discoverer" of said comet.

Ok If the Rommie ship is possin as the "Saratoga", then how are they pulling that off? Cause shouldnt the Saratoga, an all friendly ships have their warp cores online? (Since Id Imagine they all would need warp drive inorder to rid the system of the Rommie garbage tug once it was located.) So How are these Rommies fakin the sensor sig of an active warp core, when their's is actualy offline? They runnin their Impulse drive on overload or somethin?

Who says their warp core is offline? That was T'Pol's theory, not a fact.

Saratoga is my 2nd all time fav ship name, after Enterprise ofcourse.

Heh. And I scrapped the Enterprise, and have basically implied that something happened to the Saratoga too. Bet you're just loving this...

Wow. Lotta assumptions there.

Not assumptions. Logical deductions based on my understanding of your twisted mind and the back story to date.

Twisted mind? Moi?

But that sort of example isn't really analogous 'cause they're exceptions. The example that I have in mind are the guys who are recruited into the CIA from college, not the ones who spend years in special forces first.

[pookha]

for a long while now the cia has been recruiting from the military especially from certain specialties. and even have an accelrated program.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;


(quietly waiting for the other shoe to drop)

[Rigil Kent]

Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

You had to quote from my all time favorite Shakespeare play, didn't ya?

[krn]

it just seemed appropriate.


Henry V is your favorite Shakespeare? No. Not you. You must be joking. (can you hear the sarcasim?)

[Rigil Kent]

Heh. Guess I shouldn't point out that I have Henry V bookmarked, huh?

Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember with advantages
What feats he did that day: then shall our names.
Familiar in his mouth as household words
Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester,
Be in their flowing cups freshly remember'd.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remember'd;
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

[nikitee]

Rescue, my Lord of Norfolk, rescue, rescue!
The king enacts more wonders than a man,
Daring an opposite to every danger:
His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights,
Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.
Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!

A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.

Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die:
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

(where's the cavalry? help!)

ETA: OOoooooo! I got a pip!

[Rigil Kent]

Heh. Cool. CPT Chulak...

[Shakabutt]

Hm ,wasn't this the guy that had a role in Munchen ? the one who died killed by the assasin chick in bed ?

[Rigil Kent]

Yeah. He also played Gaius Julius Caesar on Rome. I really like the actor.

[blacknblue]

Well drat. Why didn't they just wait for Endeavor?

*sigh*

[JadziaKathryn]

I'm with bnb. Going it alone seems rather dumb to me. "Hey, we just lost half the fleet at Acheron! Let's see how many more ships we can get destroyed!"
