"ADMIRAL!",.. Several of the bridge crew had called out,.. snapping Blovatus from his thoughts.
Blovatus,. "Match their speed forward, bring us under way."
Blovatus, "Comms,.. message to B5 C&C. Be careful now,... exactly as I say! Message: 'Probe has detected ISC fleet has raised shields, is powering up weapons and is under way. I recommend we withdraw Mr. President before a mistaken war occurs.'
------------------------------------------------------------------
You see Blovatus had calculated all best possible percentages. This one was the best for him, here is how it breaks down.
His fleet will either fight or run under orders of B5 C&C.
1) If it runs,.. bad case,.. but Blovatus having recommended withdrawing before Sheridan decides it,.. well,.. Blovatus wins out in the end with foresight and wisdom.
2) They fight:
-A Earth Alliance wins, Blovatus is a hero
-B ISC wins, worst case scenario for Blovatus. Blovatus concluded best to steer near option 1.
----------------------------------------------------------
Message incoming from B5:
Sheridan,.. "Negative Admiral,.. close and defend the sector, no hexes within 3 of our capital will be comprimised,... Unless ordered by Ho Chi! Continue closing! And good luck Admiral."

Admiral Blovatus sat his rotund body into the command chair and strapped in for the upcoming battle. d**n Sheridan's orders were going to be his death, the ISC fleet was closing fast too.
Comms Officer,. "Admiral,.. Priority message from the President"
Admiral,.. "Put it on screen"
Sheridan,.. "By order of Ho Chi Stand Down the Fleet!",.. one could almost hear the sadness in Sheridans voice and see the pain in his face. Blovatus on the other hand was elated! "One more thing Admiral Blovatus,.. secure the system, force the ISC to leave, tell them not to return without permission. If they fail to also stand down or exit the hex in the required time, it is back to Red Alert!"
Admiral Blovatus smiling,.. "Yes Sir,.. and if I may say so,. I am pleased that the Vice President took my advice not to initiate a possible unnecessary war with the ISC."
Sheridan just cut off the comms with no response,.. he truly hated that man. Perhaps he would order the fleet further south toward the Mimbari border,... there he may be able to find a solution to his Blovated problem. LOL

Official Announcement
Due the League of Non-Align Nations' non-response/non-action to withdraw their fleet from sector 2522, the EA must assume the League's plan is to attack. Especially since the Period of Decision is more than 1/2 over.
It is with heavy burden I am forced to accommodate the League's intent, that is, attack. Their encroachment into a sector presently occuppied by EA forces and subsequent silence to all pleads to withdraw is an insult to the EA sovereignty.
I am ordering EA fleet to prepare for battle in order to expel League.
By the order of Ho Chi EA VP

Bridge of Earth Farce 1:
Blovatus stunned hears the new,.. "But,.. but,.. I thought,.. "
His flab in the command chair starts a slight giggling as his knees start to chatter.
Blovatus,.. "Rr Red Alert!"
Far off on Bablyon 5 lurking in the Shadows of his stateroom Sheridan smiles,...

Would have been nice for you to inform us you were disengaging. I guess the ref knows? Ho Chi and I were talking and we sorta felt insulted and worried that for,.. well probably weeks we have heard no word of your intentions. I certainly made enough posts about it LOL with plenty of time for you to pipe in on what you were up to.
As always Ho Chi decides the fate of the fleets. Blovatus is on the edge of his seat,.. and Sheridan hopes he is blown to smitherines!!!!

guess your weeks are much longer than mine. You have known our general intentions for a long time now. AS per this one hex, we had 2 days to decide, and it was sent out Monday, which means we get till tonight to decide.

You slice the lawyer line again Dfly,.. as you have done in the past. The fact is you had a long time to say your intention to disengage. I,.. Ho Chi,.. and probably many players in the game have wondered for a long time,.. as you can track on this thread the dates. You just chose to wait until the last minute to do so, Ho Chi and myself took that as ,... how do I phrase it nicely,.. "odd." No matter it was fun posts and much excitement for the EA. You know I love the fun posts so in my dark heart,.. Thank You It was really fun!! Oh,.. but officially I am very upset LOL LOL LOL LOL PS Admiral Vangaurd,.. before you depart I offer to meet on a shuttle between the fleets and share a drink,.. Would you be up for our traditional rendovous and toast to our nations ,.. I believe Blovatus is still capable of fitting within a shuttle !! God speed to ISC fleet leaving.

oh ya, the only reason you state we had a long time to decide is that you knew impulse 3 we were running into each other, but we were still in impulse 1 lol.

Last night Vangard on TS,.. told Ho Chi and myself the same A.ss backwards arguement that he was incapble of making a call and only you could.
"Please send lawyers, guns and money" Warren Zevon song.
To Both of you,.. it holds little water,...
Umm I have been reviewing Ho Chi last standing order,....
It has matched my standing order of defending the Hex and our homeworld at all costs,....
Your intrusion into our nation withour warning,... your evasive nature for many weeks as to your intentions,.. your inability to to notify us,.. forces me to go with my default action which is to attack the fleet before me.
This has been my standing order unless Ho Chi sent other Orders,... and he has not.
He has not ordered my fleet to stand down,... and in fact has sent word to prepare for battle and go to Red Alert.
Unless Ho Chi orders Earth Farce 1 to stand down I hold with my standing order of several weeks now.
Attack and defend our capital.

Very sorry I did not think it bad spirited,.. it is more diplomacy,.. I thought. Very sorry if you felt and other felt it was bad.
In response to Vangards disengagment announcement via email,..
Lack of orders from Ho Chi that would change my weeks long standing order to defend this hex and attack unless directed otherwise,..
I have made my pursuit roll to the Ref.
God help us all! The Dogs of War are Lose!
