Rejection

Mission: Azimuth Horizon: Crusade - Chapter 3: Preparations
Location: SB10

Oseno listened as the Alsea's new chief engineer entered his thoughts regarding using the Alsea as three separate vessels in the Azimuth Horizon plan and was immediately against it. While the Alsea's three sections could possibly speed up the process that Fleet Captain Samji had outlined it would put Louts Fleet at a distinct disadvantage in any fight. Trying to contain his thoughts and observe the decorum the meeting had taken on Oseno also raised his hand and waited to be acknowledged before standing.

"With all due respect to the engineering experience of Commander Lire, and my lack thereof, as the Alsea's tactical officer I couldn't in good conscience support anything that would separate the Alsea for any reason other than to engage an enemy. As the commander pointed out if one or two sections lagged and were separated from the others then the ship would be nearly crippled in a fight, and quite frankly I don't expect the Romulans to be in a talking mood. As we proved during our confrontation with the Klingons the Alsea is incredibly effective when all three sections work in tandem to take down an enemy force. Separating the ship would be...suspect tactics at best, and deadly at worst. So, tactically speaking Sir, the Alsea needs to be in one piece while participating in the containment of the Horizon and have multi-vector assault mode available to take on anything that might get thrown our way. I would, of course, defer to my commanding officer's wishes but that is my recommendation."

Oseno finished and took his seat again. He felt he'd made his point well hopefully without disrespecting LtCdr. Lire at all even though he thought the human was crazy for suggesting that they gimp the Alsea in such a fashion.
