I am currently in the middles of typing out the manual for doing
everything correctly. Sorry this is taking so long, but there is a _lot_
of information that Paramount sent to me, and it is taking me quite a
while to sort through it. Some of the worst parts is the new weapons
that have been created, such as th Quantum Torpeedo. The specifications
on the thing are nasty, and the new shielding designed to handle them are
strange. Other problems are bringing in characters from the other
series. According to the studio, I'll be required to put an update for
the characters every month.
Anyways, someone asked what Star Trek : Special Op's was about, so I'm
reposting what has gone up here before.

Scene Description:
Control booth with observation window to view main construction area.
Security satellites surround the area and is releasing cris-crossing
energy beams in a randomized pattern to prevent ship passage with minimal
energy loss.
In the control booth, Lieutenant Commander's TENDO are arguing with each
other over how to implement the new phase- energy cannon. TENDO A. is
arguing that because of the new configuration, more of a security lock
will be needed. TENDO R. is replying that since the Dominion is playing
havoc with the Alpha Quadrant, then a less restricted security lock is
needed. KUONJI is sighing to herself off to one corner.
Commodore T'SLOK is not paying attention to either of them and seems to
have expected this.
[Background noises: Various personnel reporting in and a loud argument
from the two TENDO's]
RIKER: <To KUONJI> Do they always argue like that?
KUONJI: <Looking up at RIKER> Yes. All the time. We grew up
together back in Japan-3. <Looks back to her control
panels> The two of them are more like sisters although they
are cousins. Their house used to be a mess most of the time.
RIKER: <Turns his head to look at TENDO R. and TENDO A.> All
the time?
KUONJI: <Paying attention to a slight variance on one panel> All
the time. One thing Commander, I would suggest you avoid
dating either of the Tendo's. They are not well disposed
towards men.
RIKER: <Turns to look back at KUONJI> You're kidding! How do
you know? Have you tried to date either of them?
KUONJI: <Suppresses a chuckle> Just Ranko. She's quite a nice young
woman.
RIKER: <Looks strangely at KUONJI> And she went out with you?
So what's the problem with men? Did you treat her bad or
something?
KUONJI: <Shaking her head> Never mind Commander. <Shows a wry smile>
Just take my advice and do not approach her.
RIKER: <Looking back at the arguing pair. Facial expression
changes to one of amused satisfaction.> Ok. Besides, they
seem too interested in arguing with each other over a moot
point. The captain will change the codes when he gets on
board.
KUONJI: <Turns to look at RIKER> Commander, I have heard of
your...reputation... <Gains a bit of iron to the voice>
While they are not lesbians, it's almost as bad. They are
career starfleet officers, and nothing gets in their way.
<Gets up and goes to a nearby console. RIKER follows> I
think that one of the reasons is that they've never found a
man that they truly respected. Considering how many
different martial arts they know, it would take a true
warrior to impress them.
RIKER <Smiles, seeming to remember something>
[New sound: desktop communicator is signalling an incoming message from
the communications room.]
T'SLOK <goes and answers the page> Commodore T'Slok here. What
is it lieutenant?
LIEUTENANT: <voice is being kept calm> I am sorry to disturb you
Commodore, but there is a priority one bio-encrypted message
coming in from the Admiralty. It requests that Commander
Riker, Lieutenant Commander Ranko, and Lieutenant Commander
Akane report to a secured room to receive it.
T'SLOK: <Looks at the arguing TENDO's as RIKER is already trying to get
their attention> Very well, they will be in a secure room
in a few minutes.

OPENING: CREDITS AND SERIES START
[new music - from cancelled series on the Academy]
{various views of the main cast members as the camera pans across the
facility and as music changes the between several planets with action
scenes involving cast member. Last scene is a fade out to space}
Scene: Secure room on Space Dock 4
{Camera focus: entrance way to room, stand ready to roll pan right to
board table}
{Camera focus: view pull back as the RIKER enters so that TENDO R. and
TENDO A. are in frame}
{Camera focus, board table: centre focus for placement of f/x
holographic display. Approximate spatial
focus, .75m to 1.2m from leading table edge}
Scene Description:
The room is a secured communications room several information monitors at
one end of the room. In the centre of the table is a holographic
emitter. The table itself is an oblong oval with 10 seats and hand
recognition/DNA scanner pads in front of every view screen at a table.
At each station, the blue communications null marker of starfleet is seen.
RIKER enters first followed by TENDO R. and then TENDO A. They all sit
down at a screen and place their hands on the scanner units.
{Door to the room seals itself securely behind them}
COMPUTER VOICE: Please identify yourself for incoming transmission.
RIKER: Commander William Riker, Commander, First Officer, U.S.S.
Enterprise
TENDO A.: Lieutenant Commander Tendo Akane, First Officer,
Starfleet special security unit NN4-322.
<RIKER raises an eyebrow at that admission>
TENDO R.: Lieutenant Commander Tendo Ranko, Commander, Starfleet
special security unit NN4-322.
{Before RIKER can ask any questions, the screens come to life. On screen
is ADMIRAL SONTARE, head of Starfleet special security forces.}
SONTARE: <Has a sombre expression on his face> Hello everyone, I
assume there is no need for introductions.
TENDO R.: <With a very professional attitude an demeanor> None
Sir. What is the mission.
<RIKER is now looking questioningly in surprise at two extremely
professional officers>
SONTARE: <Looks straight into the screen> As you know, the
Federation has been in negotiations with the Romulans
concerning the efforts made by the dominion and the
destruction of the joint Romulan/Cardasian fleet.
Because of what happened, the Romulans are now willing to
sign a long term peace/cooperation treaty with us. To do
that, certain planets must be protected along the neutral
zone and one planet in particular, Zelan 4, is to be the
site of the joint Federation/Romulan science team.
<Folds his hands in front of him on the desk>
Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem on Zelan 4.
Apparently there was a visit by Captain Saotome Ranma to the
new science facility being built there. <TENDO A. and TENDO
R. stiffen as they hear the name> He apparently wants to
examine the facility there and add some new security
features. <Looks significantly at the screen> We suspect
that one of the Founders is imitating Captain Saotome.
<Looks at some notes on his desk> As of now, the three
of you, with the addition of Commander Kuonji will be
going to Zelan 4 on honeymoons. Commander Riker, will
officially be married to Lieutenant Commander Tendo Ranko
while Commander Kuonji will officially be married to
Lieutenant Commander Tendo Akane. It is fortunate that the
two of you are cousins as there will be a ceremony held in
the public area of Starbase 14.
Commander Riker, as command officer, you will officially
be in charge of this mission. However, if Lieutenant
Commander Tendo decides to take over, you will immediately
turn all authority over to her. Her abilities, and her
special team are on a need to know basis and will be
revealed as necessary.
That is all. Fleet out.
RIKER: <Turns to the TENDO's> I take it the arguing that the
two of you were doing was an act?
TENDO A.: <Looks at RIKER> Yes, we haven't really argued about
much in a very long time. Fleet command found our high
school reputations useful for our covers.
RIKER: <Looks from one to the other> I do not know what is
going on here, but I have heard of Captain Saotome. From
what I know he's the only Federation officer who can take
over a ship from any commander in the fleet. Why would the
Admiralty suspect the Founders?
TENDO R.: <TENDO R. and TENDO A. look at one another for a moment,
and then to RIKER> I'm afraid that is classified
Commander. If necessary you will be told. <Gets up and
looks uncomfortable while saying the next part> I think we
had better get a few friends together and announce the
wedding. Until later Commander. <Walks out followed by
TENDO A.>
RIKER: <Has a wry expression on his face as the two exit>

Scene: Private officers cabins, Tendo Family quarters, Bedroom area
Scene Description:
The bedroom is furnished in a nice feminine style. Small mementos lie
around the room and some stuffed animals are on the bed. On the dresser
is a photograph of TENDO A. and SAOTOME R. in high school as well as one
of TENDO A. and TENDO R. in the academy. There is a marked resemblance
between SAOTOME R. and TENDO R.
The rooms lights have been dimmed and a view of the planet is seen
through the windows. Over to one side is a small glass of synth-scotch.
On the bed, lying on the covers with her boots on is TENDO R.
TENDO A.: <Comes into the dark room> Ranko? Are you in here?
TENDO R.: <sighs> Over here Akane. I'm just thinking of what
we're going to have to do. <Looks slightly annoyed> You
know, I really hate the fact that none of us can tell the
truth.
TENDO A.: <Smiles> Well dear, your shape changing abilities are
useful at times, especially in the present situation.
TENDO R.: <Slightly grumbles as TENDO A. turns on the room lights>
You know, I can get to hate the admiralty for doing this to
us. If we had never joined the fleet, we could have had a
proper marriage. <Places left hand behind her head> Don't
you wish that we had not been so hard headed when we were
younger?
TENDO A.: <Gets a look of fond remembrance on her face as she goes
over to TENDO R.> We did get into a lot of trouble back
then, but everything was complicated as well. <Reaches down
and starts to stroke TENDO R.'s hair back from her
forehead> At least I finally got you to marry me, even
if we can't tell anyone about it.
TENDO R.: <Gets a fond look in her eyes> True. <Sits up on the bed>
I guess I'm lucky to have found a tomboy like you.
TENDO A.: <Gets a mischievous look on her face as she hugs TENDO
R.> And I was lucky to have a pervert like you to annoy me.
<Kisses TENDO R.>

Scene: Private officers cabins, Kuonji Family quarters, Living area
Scene Description:
The room is very nicely decorated with flower arangements and pictures.
On the table, a large, cheery meal has been set up.
Sitting down at the table is KUONJI and serving her is a young woman.
KUONJI is looking uncomfortable.
KONATSU: <Sighs and looks at KUONJI> Ok, somethings wrong, want
to tell me about it?
KUONJI: <Grumbles a bit> I've got to leave for a few weeks.
Nothing for you to be concerned about.
KONATSU: <Puts down the pot> It's more than that. Spill it
Ukyou-sama, what's wrong.
KUONJI: <Gets up from the table and starts to pace> I have to go on
another mission, and this time, you can't come along. I'm
just worried about leaving you behind is all.
KONATSU: <Narrows eyes, looking at KUONJI carefully> There's
more. You've never been this hesitant about going out on a
mission before. If you're worried about not coming back, we
both...
KUONJI: <cuts KONATSU off> It's not that! It's just that...
<Throws hands up over head> It's that I have to get
married, and to Akane.
KONATSU: <Eyes narrow, a slightly fustrated look appears> Akane
is already married, we were at the wedding. If it's for the
mission, I don't mind. Remember how I was brought up.
KUONJI: <Smiles and puts arms around KONATSU> I know dear, <Kisses
KONATSU on the lips> It's just that I'm affraid of losing
you while I'm away.
KONATSU: <Relaxes into KUONJI's arms> Never Ukyou-sama, You'll
never lose me.
