Physical Description:
Ex'Ian has colorful dermal plating on his skin which is leather-like, though softer than it looks. He has no hair on his body at all and he has green-yellow eyes with black irises. Unlike other male Xyrillian, Ex'Ian is rather feminine in looks (minus breasts). Off duty, he usually wears what any Xyrillian wears which is a silver jumper that looks like armor though it's a rather soft, flexible material.

Family:
Spouse: Ab'lee

Brother(s): Coll'en, Pul'o, Rev, Ner're
Sister(s): Rec, Nel'le, Ne'ro, Or'Bi
Other Family: Favorite Cousin, Nec'Tor

General Overview:
Ex'Ian is very similar off duty as he is on duty. On duty, he's straight forward and business, though he does try to make everyone feel as comfortable and enjoyable as he can. This is very similar to how he is off duty. Off duty, he's the least harmful guy ever. He loves just listening to people and give them a little pep-talk. He's also really into art and music and plants, but his love for foreign technologies overpowers it all.

Strengths & Weaknesses:
Being rather smart in the field of technology and engineering is one of his strengths, but a big weakness would be a result of his home planet. His home planet having a high-pressure atmosphere, he can't go for too long on a planet with a normal atmosphere as it will trigger violent behaviors. So, he carries a pack that resembles an oxygen pack around with him when he goes on foreign planets, though that still wont be enough to last him a long time.

Ambitions:
To invent a technology that will allow his people to visit other planets with a normal atmosphere, maybe even move there, without needing to worry about becoming violent, psychotic, or causing fatal reactions to their mental stability. He also wishes to help the Star Fleet on their mission and succeed and be able to return home to his partner (wife) and children.

Hobbies Interests:
Experimenting with various technological inventions he's tinkering with. If not doing that, he'll probably be attending to his Xyrillian plants that he grows on the walls of his chamber or looking/listening to various types of music and art.

History:
Ex'Ian was the exact middle child out of the nine children his parents had on Xyrillia in the approximant year of 2354. The first person he saw was the doctor, then his father. From the very beginning, Ex'Ian was taught from the very beginning about life and technology and everything else. As a child, he was picked on rather much from not being as manly looking and big as most of the other children, so he would spend most of his time in the workshop working on various inventions or reading up on the various inventions the Xyrillian's had created. Eventually, this lead Ex'Ian to graduate top of his class. Shortly after, he met up with his then girl-friend at the time, Ab'lee. The just sort of stood and talk for a while before they decided to met some other time. With that, Ab'lee didn't do as much as gently hold his hand as he walked her home. Well, being Xyrillian, Ex'Ian soon found out he was pregnaut with Dan'in, their first daughter. After, Ex'Ian became an assistant engineer and so forth for the Federation. Eventually, he started helping Starfleet.

Service Record:
(2392 - ) Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander, USS Albion

Captain Anthony Kell

Deck 2 - Captain's Quarters, USS Albion - 08:00

Captain's Log Stardate 68646.76,

As of now, it is 0-8 hundred hours (08:00) on the day that the Albion is due to depart from Starbase 84. I have sent a communique to each of the senior staff to congregate in the lounge at 13 hundred hours (13:00), the purposes of such is to get the member of staff together in a more relaxed environment, whether they agree or not is upto them, however I am confident in the team I have selected and that no matter what comes our way, the Albion will pull through. Not only am I confident in my staff, but also the ship itself which I have personally assessed myself in overseeing the finishing touches to this latest model of the Prometheus-class.

In 18 hundred hours (18:00), the Albion will be leaving Starbase 84 behind for its maiden voyage, but first I must report to Rear Admiral Kell. The Albion is my first command and yet we stand on the precipice where war may break out at any comment. It is my hopes that it will not result in war, but if such is the case then it will be the Albion that will be putting an end to their plans as well as the Task Force under my command. Already I have met with each of the commanders in my Task Force and have confidence in their abilities to aid us in this endeavour, whatever this may be.

Kell out.

Deck 9 - Lounge, USS Albion - 13:00

It was certainly questionable as to why Anthony had requested that all his senior staff meet up in the Officer Lounge. Originally, Anthony was planning for the meeting to take place in the Mess Hall, but with the crew now boarding to prepare for departure five hours from now, he changed his mind for the meeting to take place in the Lounge so that the meeting could be held in a more private setting. The Lounge still remained a questionable location for the staff meeting but Anthony had his reasons. When selecting his senior staff, Anthony took much time in reading each application in detail to make sure he chose the best for each role. However, he was concerned with how each of them would get along, hence his decision to have them all come together. It was less likely to be very accurate with the fact that they were in the presence of their captain but he could at least get a picture.

Anthony certainly ran things much more differently than other Starfleet Captains which also included his father. However, Anthony always had this more laid back approach, such that he had maintained throughout his career which had made him the man that he was today. Some would question his methods but there was as the idiom says, a method in his madness. Not that he thought his random decisions were mad, more unique and spontaneous, yet despite such from happening, he was a smart individual as he conveyed himself in one way, before acting in another which had proved to work well when he served as Acting Captain on the USS Galileo when he had to take command on occasion, such that had proved to show how tactical he was and why he was recommended to be in the position he was in now. There is always a reason.

Now all that remained was awaiting his crew as he sat in the lounge, relaxing in his chair. His first officer was a Romulan so he was certainly curious what she would perceive of this move, but it was intentional. It was the perfect atmosphere for them all to relax and get to know each other and may trigger what they may of hidden in a more formal setting, which was much more representative of how they would act when off-duty. Despite his precautions, Anthony hoped that they'd all be able to work well, but they were the best of the best out of all applications, so he only hoped that they'd put aside any issues they have or be mature about it and approach him with any concerns once this meeting was over. His yeoman was on stand-by so that the officers could book appointments with him, seeing as being Captain was a heavy responsibility that he would have to live up to....

Ex'Ian

Ex'Ian rushed himself slightly as he prepared to head down to the lounge where the first crew meeting will take place. It wasn't that he was scared or nervous, he just wasn't sure what to expect. It wasn't as if he'd never been on a Star Ship before, but, in all sense, he supposes he could be considered excited at the least. He headed down the way and slipped into the Lounge, seeing people introducing themselves and all about talking in small groups. He hoped he hadn't missed anything important, but he's sure he hasn't. It still seemed like people were still arriving.

The lounge was surely a more informal means of setting for a meeting that is usually quite formal. But, this is one of the reasons Ex'Ian admired the Captain. He was different and did things differently. In a sense, it was like a breath of fresh air. A breath of fresh, Xyrillian, high-pressured oxygen. Surely, there will be people about the crew who disagreed with such standards of their new Captain, but their disagreement wouldn't get them nowhere but back to the Academy if they go against anything the Captain has ordered. But, what's Ex'Ian to worry about? Just making sure the ship is in tip-top shape and functioning would be his duties, though he is rather entertained by a small altercation between two or more beings. It's almost like a universal feeling among most species.

Ex'Ian did what the rest did and introduced himself to the Captain. "Lieutenant Commander Ex'Ian, reporting for duty." Ex'Ian said to the Captain before continuing. "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." He then proceeded to take a seat and looked around at everyone else.

Commander Letant watched with vague interest as the members of the senior staff chatted among each other, no doubt exchanging various pleasantries and getting to know each other better. An understandable goal, she mused. Romulans did much the same, when serving aboard a newly commissioned vessel. It seemed almost universal of all species; the drive to better know your comrades at arms, the urge to understand those around you. And it was especially apparent on this Federation vessel.

Deciding she may as well engage in such frivolous, but ultimately useful, exercises--after all, these were her people too, and she may as well make an effort to get to know them--Hannam walked over to where the Chief Engineer of the Albion sat. She inclined her head to the reptilian man, and curtly stated,

"Greetings, Chief Ex'Ian. I am Commander Letant. It is a...pleasure to serve aboard this vessel with you."

It wasn't much, true, but it was a start. Dialogue had been initiated; hopefully the Chief would respond in kind.

Ex'Ian looked over to Commander Letant when she spoke and he let a small smile vaguely appear on his face. He always associated smiles to the act of friendliness. And the last thing Ex'Ian wanted to do was appear as a threat. He bobbed his head forward slightly in a nodding way, though he only did it once, in a way to acknowledge and greet the Commander and make it as clear as he possibly could that he considered the greeting as a form of friendliness.

"It's a pleasure to serve with you as well. It is, as well, a pleasure to meet you." Ex'Ian said in a clear voice, the same voice he always talks in. One must speak in a clear voice before one expects to be taken clearly. Ex'Ian was taught this himself and told his children the same thing. It was a tradition - as some would say - in his family. His very large family that always seems to have someone pregnant.

Hannam looked over the Chief Engineer curiously, and finally gave voice to her thoughts. "If you do not consider my question offensive, might I inquire as to what species you are? I do not believe I have encountered your kind before."

Which wasn't too surprising. The Romulan Star Empire hadn't been that much of a diverse place. There had been the Remans, of course, and a few other subject species within the Empire, but very few, if any, ever got the chance to serve in the military. Especially after that debacle with Shinzin some years past.

At any rate, she had never encountered a species like that of Ex'Ian was apart of, and due to her nature as a scientist, she was always curious about new life and cultures. If there was one good quality about Starfleet and the Federation that the Romulan Empire had lacked, it was the fact that Starfleet encouraged exploration of every kind, especially in regards to seeking out new kinds of life.

Captain Anthony Kell

His decision to congregate in the officer lounge was his and his alone. It was not that he disrespected authority and formalities as he understood the need for such, but he also wholeheartfully believed in the formal informalities where everyone can simply be themselves. Sure the Albion was at the fore-front of the approaching Klingon-Federation war by being the Task Force's Flagship, but with such importance to the success of their missions, it was as critically important for each other to work together and knowing each other's strengths and weaknesses to make the best decisions at a moment's notice.

One-by-one, each of his senior staff begun entering their unexpected meeting place, but of course Anthony's intentions did not rest in giving orders but give each one a chance to meet him in a less than formal surrounding, as well as meeting their fellow comrades in less than formal surroundings. His father of course was much more stricter on protocol, having the belief that all crew should respect, acknowledge and be fully aware of the chain of command, as well as the reinforcement of discipline. Sure Anthony believed in all that too but there were more important items on his agenda.

The crew of the Albion will be at the eye of the storm, thrown into the abyss with such trying and difficult times ahead. In comparison with the earlier days of the Federation, there was not at the forefront of exploration but at the forefront of war, war which brought destruction and death in its wake. If anything, Anthony hoped that the war would not occur but there was not a chance that Klingons would pull back from former Romulan space and give back to what remains of the Romulan Star Empire, so the war was inevitable.

Of all people that understood to an extent what Anthony was like, was his former comrade, now Chief of Security, Tyvya Idrani who was first to enter with the formality even if it was obvious that he was aiming for the meeting to be informal, "Lieutenant Commander Tyvya Idrani, reporting for duty, sir". Anthony could still remember the times that he and Tyvya had each others' back on the Chesapeake since she was part of his security team. She knew sometimes that Anthony had his own ways which seemed to succeed, he was certainly confident of her abilities and that she would make a great security chief which was why he was quick to accept her application. Even more interesting was for her assistant chief which would be bound to raise some controversy, but if anything was learnt in earlier human history, mistakes are made and not all are responsible for the actions of some so he hoped things would work out for Dezhe.

This whole meeting is in itself a test as he reviews his senior staff, but not everyone would agree with his ways and those who are confused as Celeste asked after her introduction, "May I inquire as to why we are meeting here?", only for his answer to be spoken by Virana Kalre who seemed to be pleased with his choice, "If I may say Captain, its a pleasant change to meet somewhere less...formal", which caused Anthony to lift his free hand towards her to give the notion that she had essentially spoken what he was to say to respond to Celeste's question as he continued, "Some may disagree, but I feel the best start would be somewhere more relaxed. We have plenty of time to be all serious afterall", smiling and giving a sharp nod to Virana, already pleased since it meant she understood his reasoning or at least some of it.

Following Virana was another comrade of his from the Chesapeake, Harper West who served as his Marine Commander who congratulated him on his position informally, which was just what he wanted. On many vessels, the strict type were usually the type officers did not get along with and was someone those lower in the chain could not get along with or approach with complaints, but Anthony wished to be approachable and understandable, being respectful and open to all regardless of rank though such didn't mean he didn't regard rank.

Of course one in particular who he believed would be on strict on rank and discipline, perhaps even moreso than his father was "Commander Hannam Letant, reporting for duty" as she nodded to him sternly before moving aside almost immediately. Following her was Captain Erik Gunnarson, Marine Executive Officer and Chief Engineer, Lieutenant Commander Ex'Ian, giving each of them a friendly nod and smile to welcome them, before one by one, each of the senior staff begun to divide up as each got to speak with each other; Dorath and Celeste, Virana and Harper, Tyvya with Dezhe and Erik and a conversation even brewing with his first officer with Ex'Ian, so he was glad that she was opening up in that sense and trying his approach more than rejecting it. It was all positive and seemed his test was working out as he had hoped.

=A= "Lieutenant Ral to Captain" =A=

As soon as his commbadge chirped, his initial thoughts was what this could be about and secondly, why Lieutenant Ral wasn't where he was supposed to report to. Nevertheless, it must be for something important to contact him in these circumstances. Anthony gave a smile to the assistant chief of operations who he was conversing with as he had begun to mingle, only to pull to the side to respond so that this call wasn't disturbing what had been achieved so far, but at the back of his mind he felt this union was about to be over. Oh well, there was always another time.

=A= Kell here =A=

=A= Sorry to disturb you Captain but there is a romulan vessel on approach =A=

=A= Lifesigns? =A=

=A= Seems to be a very undermanned crew as only reading few lifesigns......using the sensor readings from what was given to us by the Romulans, am reading.....1, only 1 sir, and from what I can tell, the ship is on an intercept course to the starbase" =A=

Anthony closed his eyes since unfortunately things were starting already, what made it even more difficult to understand was the fact it was a romulan vessel when the remnants like Hannam's crew had joint with the Federation. =A= Contact Starbase to release docking clamps and start up the engines immediately, and contact transport chief to operate in two minutes. Kell out =A= now being left with no other choice, he then returned to the crowds until he was somewhat in the middle, clapped his hands together to cease the conversation that had now erupted around the room to get everyone's attention, "If I can have everyone's attention.....thank you! First of all I'd like to thank you all for coming, not that you had a choice but still, but going to have to cut this really short which is not what I wanted at the least but least you managed to put a face to a name", giving a smile before continuing, "In about thirty seconds you will all be transported to your stations as seems we got ourselves a bit of trouble, I am positively sure that we can put a stop to it, 100% sure we can so let's work together on this", ending with a clap before Anthony disappeared from the room, as one-by-one disappeared from the room also.

Re-appearing in the bridge, Anthony looked down to where Lieutenant Ral was, and then around the room as his senior bridge personnel appeared one by one, as he tapped his commbadge, =A= Kell to Ex'Ian, be advised we shall be leaving dock earlier than planned with a possible fire fight so be ready down there.....Kell to Medical, though I do not anticipate casualties, please be at the ready just incase.....Kell out =A=. With the relevant departments informed, he then turned to everyone else, "For our situation, we have a one-manned romulan vessel on an intercept course to the starbase, our task is to intervene and apprehend the lone ranger", using terminology intentionally associated with Earth's past, but 'lone' was enough to suggest that they were after the culprit behind the attack, "Lieutenant Ral, activate thrusters and let's get away from these shackles.....any suggestions?", the latter part of his statement directing at the rest of his senior staff to hear their input while Dion was tasked with getting the ship out of the dock.......

Captain Anthony Kell

As the saying goes, ~~all's fair in love and war~~ so far so good, as each of the senior staff materialised as he intended onto the Bridge and immediately adjusted themselves according to the situation they now faced, both internally and externally. Despite the lack of preparation due to the sudden appearance of the romulan vessel, the crew were responding quickly which was always a good sign, especially on the Flagship that was leading the way. It was one thing to serve on a Flagship, even more so to command a Flagship, but the most important is whether it was a functional Flagship, such that certainly proved to be the case as he heard each of the senior staff communicating with their staff via the comms, followed by the marines and fighters reporting him from Captain Gunnarson and Commander Kalre respectively. No doubt Harper was busy yet it was concerning that he hadn't made a report for his department.

Nevertheless, such matters would be addressed at a later date as Lieutenant Ral activated the ship's thrusters with the ship lunging forwards slowly out of space dock, being cautious not to scratch the paintwork. Usually the first assignment started so smoothly with his piloting being the center of attention as the ship got underway on its maiden voyage, but it seemed that the Albion would not get such a chance and nor would the crew, such that was an implied condition in serving a Flagship no doubt. Nevertheless, things in Starfleet were never what they seem, nor were things ever easy, though there was no harm in putting such ideology across, even in the most serious situations.

"Captain, I suggest we hail them, and if they do not respond, fire a warning shot across their bow and prepare to destroy the ship. Or, if you prefer, we could board the ship ourselves and apprehend the Romulan", Tyvya suggested, followed by Nathan who seemed to have a similar idea, "Hail them sir maybe they are in some kind of distress? Alternatively we could head out towards the ship and try and lock on with our tractor beam sir". Anthony of course had his own plan in mind, but like with the previous meeting in the lounge, he sought to find out what was on the mind of his crew, because at some point he would be part of an away mission and leaving others to continue in his position as he certainly could not be at more than one place at once.

Hannam brought up a significant point that a "regular warbird could be run by just one person", so perhaps this was no regular warbird, or perhaps the sensors were misleading, Afterall, each year advances with developments or introductions of new technology and it was no secret upon the surrender of the Belak that Romulans were being resourceful. There was certainly an element of irony that the Klingons were also being resourceful by the timing of their attack, no matter how wrong the attack was, but clearly the Romulan-Klingon war had certainly put the Federation in a difficult position, such that Hannam highlighted on a more personal level that affected him as she asked, "Captain...If the vessel is piloted by a Romulan, and if he or she requests asylum...will you grant it?". Despite the clear concerns of Hannam's position as a Romulan and Anthony's position as a Starfleet Captain, sitting on the precipace of a potential war, he replied, "Regardless of our circumstances, we cannot change who we are, so by all means asylum would be granted without a doubt", wishing to assure his first officer. Captain Janeway was also put into a similar situation in the Delta Quadrant where she held onto Federation principles regardless of their fight for survival with potential enemies around them and little allies. If Voyager can hold onto principles solo in such conditions, then there was no reason why the Federation or the Albion should not hold onto them also, regardless of relations with the Klingons.

"Well, sir? What are your orders?", Tyvya asked as he pulled away from Hannam and clapped his hands to get attention, "Yes! Lieutenant Ral, move to an intercept course for the romulan warbird. If that doesn't rock their boat, I don't know what will.....", giving his orders and adding a little humour to lighten the mood before proceeding with his remaining orders as he cracked his knuckles and then turning to Nathan, "I would like you to work with the Engineering staff and get to work on preparing a repulsion beam. If the pilot is a desperado, we do not wish to give him or her the means of destablising us"[/b], then turning to Tyvya, "I would like you to work with the marines to prepare to board, though be cautious if the pilot is a desperado or if the scans prove false. Work with Intelligence in that regard and advise medical of possible casualties to prepare for, should the worst-case scenario occur", letting Tyvya take the lead on this one.

There was a greater concern however on Anthony's mind as he tapped his commbadge, =A= Commander Kalre this is Captain Kell. Incase the scan proves false, I would like a squad sent out to scout the area of any possible reinforcements this vessel has, in particular any Klingon activity, just incase this is a ploy which I am not a fan of falling for..... =A= before turning to Hannam incase she had anything to add. Scans certainly proved to be helpful but sometimes they were misleading and the best way to find out was the old fashioned way......

(OOC: I have tagged everyone and divided orders for departmental collaboration which I liked to see between the marines and the fighters. Anyone have any questions, contact me via pm or via ooc. This will also be a good way of seeing who remains and what spots we need to fill)
