At the sound of he red alert klaxon, Talia's head snapped up from the PADD containing the most recent set of transfer orders and stand down procedures for her ship.
All Officers. Report to your CO's and assume battlestations. Starbase 39 is under attack!
Her eyes snap around to meet those of her First officer's who is already begining to mouth the words "But we are AT Starbase 39 already' when she interupts him.
"Go!"
All Commanding Officers. Report to Starbase 39 for Briefing. Scramble!
As Kylan launched from his chair towards the bridge Talia rose from her ready room chair stabbing at the combadge on her chest..
"All hands this is the Captain...the Starbase is under attack...All hands to battle stations...this is NOT A DRILL Transporter room recall ALL personel from the Station! All shore leaves recalled...give them no warning...just bring them back...you have two minutes!"
She whilred around her desk, her heart pounding, her antennae fixed and rigid...
"All damage control teams to their stations, deck triage tems report once in place..." Her eyes seek out Y'Mirtu's as she steps onto the now very active bridge of her Lady of the Stars "all tactical rapid response teams to support damage control and triage teams..."
She reached her center chair her eyes fixed and stone now "Engineering give me all you have...I want to break dock in the next three miniutes Mr. Binet"
"I know we were to stand down shortly but fate has need of all of us once more...the starbase, and Daedalus are depending on us once again...we will not dissapoint.." she paused before adding " Strength and honor"
She heard it murmured in response around her, knowing it was being repeated on all decks of the grand old lady of the stars as she began to break dock.
"All right then...helm..,make ready to make way..."
Her hear pounding in her chest, if she was to be granted one final battle with her beloved lady of the stars, she would make her proud...

-Origin: Main Enginnering USS Giselle --Destination: Defense Formation Ships ---Method: Encoded Ship to Ship Netowrk All ships in SB39 defense formation are here by ordered to conduct the following operations and make the appropriate adjustments as needed. All ships are required to prepare 4 (class 8) probes each configured and anchored as followed. -Each probe shall be anchored as follows (- <9.5k> (- <9.5k> (-SS-) <9.5k> (- <9.5k> (- -Each probe will be configured using the attached configuration's to mimic a ships power output. -Utilizing the enhanced sensors in each probe a grid will be erected. This net will be connected to each ships sensor grid to effectively cut through our own interference. All ships are required to make the following power adjustments. -Cut all power to non combat systems -Place shields on emergency standby but keep offline -Reduce core reaction to 30% of operations norms, and place on emergency standby -Reduce impulse reactor output to 30%, and place on emergency standby -Place all energy weapon systems on emergency standby. -Reroute primary auxiliary power to main deflector All ships are required to make the following adjustments to their main deflector. -Reconfigure to emit high density subspace distortion field -Monitor and maintain ready to revert to operational norms All ships are required to make the following operational changes -Station keeping mode using only RCS thrusters -Combat communications only, cut all subspace links, short range coms only, no visual ((The above modifications to each ship should provide to effectively eliminate any accurate long or short range sensor data by the enemy. They will be unable to determine an accurate ship count or location until such a time as we return to combat power outputs.))

Title: A Drink before the War It was dark in the private captain’s chambers of the Ayanami. A ship constructed for the sole purposes of what was about to become the battle of Sierra 39. In all her glory and beauty, Miss Honda sat in the darkness of her quarters. She lounged back some on the couch that was facing the space windows of her room. Bottomless and dressed in her sleeveless undershirt she wasn’t totally alone, she did have company. Her fingers wrapped around the spout of a blue glass bottle that contained a sharp andorian liquored. Her other companion a songstress long dead kept her heart and soul engaged with emotional music that touched Nyoko in ways that no one could. The two friends she was sharing herself with this evening made a wonderful combination. At least she believed so. While the alcohol content did it’s job, the Japanese Pop Music from the early millennium played out at a low volume. She sighed once and brought the bottle to her lips and took a swig of the sharp liquid. Then a wince came to her face and her Asian eyes shut ever so slightly. Whatever it was Talia had called it, it was doing a fantastic job. The buzz was amazing and Nyoko truly felt unwired and relaxed. Then there was the music sang in her native language, in tones and expressions that held so much meaning for a Japanese girl one whom grew up in Japan. Leaning back she clutched the pair of rings she always wore and held them in her delicate palm. Her thoughts were on Alex the man she had come to love early on in her journey. Although it had been almost 6 years now the loss had set Nyoko on a path that has made her who she was today. Then after a few short memories she began to reflect she had seen Devon again. In his usual mannerism he fancied that same attractive hero attuided that caught her interest a few years back. Married and with kids now on the way Nyoko reflected on the facts. She had wondered if she was ever like Jadia his wife. She considered the facts closely did she ever want that life? To be someone’s wife and raise children or were those naive dreams of a woman who didn’t understand the concept of being a Captain of Starfleet. She shook her head and in her drunken state passed judgment. To Nyoko Jedia was naive and immature as it was quiet obvious that family unit now would divide loyalties for Devon. Starfleet couldn’t afford losing committed officers. Not now at least, not when everything hung in the balance. Conflicting personalities those two had and back then she irritated her, and to this day it irritated her. As for Devon? It was nice to see him again she gussed. Then she had considered Frost in her thoughts. She wondered if he was thinking about her. Then she shook her head. Not likely she told herself. If anything his head was entirely on the mission. Although there job has been the main reason why they haven’t shared one another’s company. She was beginning to believe what they had was likely a fling. That didn’t bother her so much as those kinds of things she understood real well. After all with the lack of Frost’s attention her interests had already started to wander. The unexpected invasion had forced Nyoko to miss her shore leave trip. She and Frost were supposed to go to Andoria. With the romulan front igniting into combat that idea seemed like a lost cause. So she simply dropped it. She didn’t need the distraction not now on the eve of battle. She expected no less from Frost.' Even threw here impaired state of mind she knew one thing that was to be the ultimate truth of the night It was so devastatingly blunt and so clear to her as she suck back that andorien ale. Starships were going to burn tomorrow and people were going to die. Not just die, but die horribly two hazards of starship under plasma fire. How could she be so comfortable with these thoughts? She wondered. Has the thoughts of war numbered her humanitarian manners? Was she becoming a monster? She thought now dangerously as self doubt filled her impaired emotional state. Another swig of the hard stuff and Nyoko winced at its bite. She had stopped a moment to focus in on some of Ayumi’s words. “iku kono saki ga tatoe konna ni mo” Hamaskai sang out at what seemed to be climax of the song. (Whatever unreasonable place may be waiting for me.)And the words in her mind fit perfectly as she understood the meaning of each translated word. Then the finalized lyric lines sang out to follow in one fluid flow of pop music poetry. “rifujin na basho datta toshite mo” (I must accept myself, That I'll just have to remain myself)And while Nyoko found absolute meaning in the words. Facts were facts, she picked this path that she has walked all these years. It has become the only path she’s known. It is a path she’d recommend to no one. Perhaps in away… she envied Jadia. Though that thought never came to her. She had slipped off into a slumber. As her she passed out lounging back in her couch. The blue bottle of Andorian alcohol slipped from her grasp to let almost an entirely full bottle empty out on her carpet. -Song Playing In the Background- www.jpopasia.com/play/4343/ayumi-hamasaki/decision.html

As the Giselle slipped gracefully in beside the Ayanami, and fell into formation with the rest of the battle group, Talia realized that at some level she was thoroughly enjoying herself.
At first it was disturbing to her, beings both Federation and Romulan had been dying since this attack had begun. Momentarily now her ship and her crew would be in the middle of a fray of their own, adding to the killing and if her luck ran out, she herself would be killed. The very idea that she should be enjoying herself seemed almost inappropriate at first.
As she stood their behind her command chair, there was no denying the rush of the emotion slowing through her. It was moments like this, since she began to follow the command track that she had never felt so alive. Her final chat with the Admiral...no, Marzz over subspace had helped her focus on the task at hand, knowing that should she fall tonight, her Keth would know she had joined their children....her fallen spouses with honor.
Standing there on her bridge as her beloved lady of the stars carried her into battle, her crew focused, ready to spring into action that always brought an image to her mind. An image of the Ancient Andorian Imperial Guard, mounted and charging across the frozen tundra to the rescue. The only thing truly missing was the warrior carrying the Guard's flag and the trumpeter sounding the battle charge.
This moment was why she had joined Starfleet, a desperate battle to save others from overwhelming odds. To make a stand and protect those she had sworn to protect, her eyes moved across her bridge. Each of her officers and crew were ready to make the very same commitment that she was, to live or die to protect those aboard the starbase.
At the very thick of her rush of feelings, Talia knew this was to be her last stand aboard the Giselle. One final dance with her lady of the stars as her mistress. Together they had one final glorious stand to make, to let the Romulans know that might was never right. First they had removed the threat of the Borg hybrids that the Romulans would have used against the Federation and now they would seal the deal, defeating them here and sending them back over the neutral zone licking their wounds.
She smiled at the pride she felt in her Fleet, in her crew and of her ship.
"The hell with it" She muttered to herself.
With that she released her emotions and allowed herself to fully enjoy this moment before the battle began...
