PNPC Major Kiran Han - Battle Plan
Patrick Dennett
((Holdodeck 5, Deck 4, USS Juneau))
Han: What’s the best way to give it a test?
Collins/Any: Response
Serinus: I suppose it's best to try out one of the ten premade scenarios I've loaded. When I first showed it off, we played the Second Napoleonic War.
Han: Can’t say I’ve heard of that conflict before.
Collins/Any: Response
Serinus: There is, of course, that one. The first one I made was the Magna Roman Conquest of Silesia. Then there is the Mongolian conquest of China on earth. The liberation war of Q'onos against the Hur'q, 4 of the most pivotal battles from earth's Second World War: 1 from each front, an iron age Vulcan war between the Semun and Sifuc, and a bronze age one between Ancient Semun and Gatuz.
Serinus: If none of those suit your fancy, we could try creating a custom scenario.
Han: Lets try one of the single battle scenarios, maybe from Earth’s second world war? I think I still remember some of that from my History of War and Conflicts class at the academy.
Kiran had a weird relationship with history now. Things that were, in his youth, just pieces of history, were suddenly contemporary events after his joining. History was something that happened before you were born, but he’d been born four times. He couldn’t imagine how joined Trill with seven, or even ten, lifetimes under their belt dealt with the concept of time.
Collins/Serinus/Any: Response
Han: How about the European theater, we went over that theater but my class focused more on the island hopping campaign in the Pacific, it was a better metaphor for a modern Marine campaign.
Serinus/Collins/Any: Response
Han: I’ll take either side, we probably have comparable background in combat and strategic and tactical planning, but you have a leg up with knowing the programming and the ins and outs.
Kiran was mostly interested in exploring the capabilities of the program, and whether he could make use of it in his upcoming shift to Strat Ops. Being able to game out specific engagements before they actually happened could be vital with so few ships in the sector. He wasn’t worried about winning or losing…yet.
Serinus/Collins/Any: Response
Han: Oh, tangent, is this something that can be done over a distance? Could I use this program with someone on a different ship or station, a different sector?
