“As you can see from the records of the briefing meeting just prior to the New Orleans arriving at Vega, it is clear that Lieutenant Calvin not only wrote the virus in a pre-meditated manner, he had full intentions to utilizing it against Borg drones at his soonest convenience. It is clear that the defendant had prior knowledge the attack would occur, and had ample time to inform Starfleet. Otherwise he wouldn’t have had time to write the virus.”

“Objection, the last two statements are pure conjecture.” Commander Malek declared as he stood promptly. Eddie fought to keep his smile under control. In the back of the court room, Solek seemed to relax into his own version of a smile.

“Sustained. Lieutenant you will keep to facts, not opinions.”

“Sorry, your honor...To rephrase, either the defendant had prior knowledge of the attack, or he had a disposition and desire to create the virus, even though it went against Starfleet Uniform Code to do so. Either way, the actions he has made were treasonous.”

Eddie had slumped slightly, knowing the uphill battle was getting steeper with every claim the prosecution made against him. Relief was only in the Admiral’s call for a one hour recess.

The courtroom emptied and Solek made his way to the brig to visit with Eddie. His intent was deflected by Malek, claiming he needed to discuss strategy with how the prosecution was shaping things in the trial. Feeling slightly dejected, Solek left the building.

“Solek, we missed you this morning, were you ill?” An elderly Vulcan monk inquired approaching the officer.

“I was not ill; I simply did not wish to attend.” He responded.

The monk furrowed his eyebrows and seemed to frown as much as any Vulcan would, “Solek, you aren’t moving away from the teachings, are you? We’ve noticed you have been spending a great deal of time with the Romulan.”

There was almost a flare in Solek’s eyes at the comment. “I am perfectly capable of retaining my grasp on the teachings. I see no risk in the interaction. Even the late Ambassador Spock believed reintegration was possible.”

“Ambassador Spock was half-human and with that came a skewed belief that Romulans could be redeemed. You would be well to remember his fate.”

“And you would be well to remember that Lieutenant Calvin is also half-human. It is only logical to notice that successful reintegration may involve this planet. Your opinions of failure are based in prejudice. Excuse me.” Solek finished and moved away from the monk. Another monk arrived to join the other.

“Is he V’tosh Ka’tur?”

“It is highly likely...unfortunate, to lose one like him to his emotions. More and more seem to be straying away from the teachings.”

“Perhaps this trial against the Romulan will act as a warning to others that this idea should be quashed.” The two monks continued walking towards a small monastery, continuing to discuss the intricacies of how Eddie’s court-martial could affect the various politics that had become muddied with the degradation of the quadrants. Solek continued his stroll down the walkway when he ran into Turek.

“Mr. Solek, I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time.” The Cardassian asked, looking somewhat eager. Solek sighed with a slight exhaustion to his voice. “I’m not interrupting anything, am I sir?”

“No, it’s quite all right. What can I help you with?”

“Sir, I wanted to inform you, as the standing commanding officer of our crew, I wish to continue serving whatever crew you and Lieutenant Calvin lead.”

“A noble decision under normal circumstances, but perhaps you should wait until after the court-martial is resolved. Until a favorable decision is found for Lieutenant Calvin, I advise that neither of us acknowledge this conversation.” Solek advised as he tried to move away.

“Sir, with all due respect, my Starfleet career is as much on the line as Calvin’s. He gave me a chance to shine that no other officer would provide, and my loyalty is to him. He trusts you, so I trust you.”

Solek broke a slight smile in approval. “Hopefully your loyalty won’t be misplaced. I’ll be sure to pass along your request. As far as I’m concerned, you will be a great asset for whatever crew we end up having. ...Dismissed.”

Solek took solace in Turek’s words and loyalty as he stopped by the cafeteria to have a short meal before finally returning to the courtroom. He dreaded the next part of the trial, knowing the prosecution still had much to present, and he was losing confidence in the defense.

Hey!

Should see it in the UK, we are coming up on an election...£150 tax break for married couples has been announced by the Conservative Party. Think this might include civil partnerships, but us single folks are going to get taxed for being single! Its crazy.

Before I saw the video I was gonna say " a M-class planet?"

now that I've watched it, I would say "a planet that is so advanced but so stuck in the past." I hope we ovecome these type of obstacles soon.

Hi Everybody.

I thought you might all like a bit more information on the fleet membership.

You may have noticed that we have fewer members this month than last month. We haven't lost anyone, don't worry. We had some membership accounts that were inactive either because they were from 2008/2009 and people had made a new account or because people had decided against playing the game. We contacted these account users at the beginning of March and asked them to log in to the site or contact us if they wished to keep their account. We then cleared all these old accounts off our member list at the beginning of April. So as of now, everyone on our member list is an active account holder.

Not all our members have joined the fleet in-game yet, which is fine. You do not have to be currently playing STO to be a member of the fleet. Equally you do not have to be a member of the fleet to participate on this website. We are here to provide a safe and happy place for everyone to talk about STO, other games and anything else which we find interesting, lol.

We will soon be asking all those who have joined the fleet in-game to post an Application in the "Start Here" section of the forums. If you have already done this then thankyou. The reason for the applications is simply to help us all get to know each other a little better and to help distinguish between fleet members and visiting site users.

Anyway, here is some info on the current fleet make-up. I've noticed a few people ask when they first joined about what times we play and express surprise that they are not the only member from outside the U.S. These diagrams show that we are truely a global fleet.





Don't forget that if you have any questions about membership, any problem with, or concerns about the fleet, then contact me either by a private message, using the "Contact Us" feature on the site or emailing me at Personnel@StonewallFleet.com

Personnel Officer

Loving the musical avenues in these sets, do you have the playlists for the first 3?

nice! Thanks!

I recently took to the habit of creating monthly tastes of what I play when I DJ local lounges/pubs in DC.... I've unintentionally found myself listening to them as I play STO. Enjoy. :-) (April is on the way this week.)

We need more bumps!!

Due to the huge rise in membership over the launch period and the continuing almost daily increase in new members of the Stonewall Fleet, the Admiralty have decided to introduce a Personnel Department.

The Personnel Department will perform various tasks as the need arises, but most importantly it will be used to keep membership records and members ranks up to date and act as a single point of contact for members concerns or fleet related problems.

The role of Personnel Officer will be carried out by Zepari (aka Joshua from Northern Ireland).

Membership:
The Stonewall Fleet ranking system is simple with everyone achieving the rank of Member 14 days after posting their application in the “Start Here” section of the forums. Details can be found in the Welcome Center. As the ranking system both in-game and on the site is maintained manually, there may occasionally be errors. If you feel you or at the wrong rank or have any questions regarding your membership, please contact the personnel department as explained below.

Concerns and complaints:
The Stonewall Fleet prides itself on being open and welcoming to all our members and visitors, however in a community as big as ours there will be problems. The Officers will be unable to fix these problems if they are unaware of them. We hope that our members will get along and not let frayed nerves and understandable frustration get in the way of them enjoying the game and participating in the fleet, however, if that is not possible then the personnel department is there to listen and act on your concerns. All correspondence with the Personnel Department will be kept confidential and only relevant information will be passed to the Officers. Please read the Code of Conduct in the Welcome Center for further information on unacceptable behavior in the fleet.


Contacting the Personnel Department:
There are two ways to contact the Personnel Department, by clicking the Contact Us on site and selecting “Personnel” from the drop down menu at the top left of the page, or by sending an email to our dedicated address: Personnel@StonewallFleet.com
