"Theres an old saying...Fortune favors the BOLD"

[BENSISKO68]

Ive been thinking about [UFP] for a long time now.Its been years asince ive sat in the captains chair of my old ship,the Defiant / Intrepid. I miss the classic battles we had defending the federation.I have been watching the development of star trek online since it began,and now i have to admit,im convinced that it has a great future.To that end,im gonna purchase the full version in a week and i would like to retake my place here in [UFP] ....if theres room for an old starfleet officer like me?

As official Fleet Dictator, a position I have appointed myself to under order of my own iron-fisted will, I offer you our warmest welcome Sisko (6500 Kelvin, for most readers). Unfortunately, to attain this position, I had to deal with Exeter and Alexraptor in a bloodless coup d'état. Their cherished remains are now scattered reverently across all the finest garbage piles of the United States and Sweden, where they are picked clean by carrion-fowl of only the highest class.

We have a rule that says that in order to join the United Federation of Planets, you are required to give yours truly here a new pair of well polished Hessian boots. In order to join the Fleet, you will have to complete this part of the arrangement. Set me up with the European Delivery package, and you will be a rank three member - a Three Boots Generalissimo - automatically, which gives you rights to sit on the Most Honourable Council of Generalissimo's and a custom room on our Ventrillo server.

Oh for goodnesake!...you finally come out from under that stone. It's great to see you ''BR Machine''

[Ciaran]

Ah Sisko, long time no see my friend

[BENSISKO68]

Sir,id be more than honored and HIGHLY motivated to spit shine those GLORIOUS well polished Hessian boots SIR! As well as a shiny NEW GOLD federation cubits only RECENTLY won off of a rather disgruntled ferengi trader in the denab sector (of course i took a que from a young ensign picard and rigged a domjat table in order to procure said currency).

...and that stone which was spoke of is a VERY HEAVY World of Warcraft boulder which i have yet to completely emerge from.But the promise of one day sitting in a captians chair again was well worth the peek from under it,Sir.

[Invincible]

Costello will be most pleased to see this. For that matter, I am equally so.

Welcome, once again, Mr Sisko. For those who don't know this fellow, he holds the fleet record for highest BR tally (around 500 - 600?) and can never be faulted for his passion and dedication. His combat reports were a pleasure to read, and written with consummate care and enthusiasm.

[Janeway]

Ah, mister Sisko. This was a rather unexpected but pleasant surprise. Before I continue, I would just like to remind you that your old account should still be active if you are interested in using it.

As Invincible said, you still hold the record for BR count and your reports were always a pleasure to read. You mentioned Star Trek Online but I hope you will also be flying with those in Second Fleet as well. I look forward to seeing you in STO once I get enough time to sit down and play the game.

Welcome back.

[Costello]

Sisko, you old war horse - welcome back to the forums.

It's quite odd that you should pay us a visit today, I was just talking about you a couple of days ago with Invincible, vís-á-vís, regaling him of our most extraordinary Legacy duels.

[BENSISKO68]

Im honored that you guys have not forgotten the good old days we shared together.Those duels were indeed quite legendary in Legacy Artful Sir,i learned a lot from you and that pesky sovereign class vessel you captained with such skill.The only time I could ever come close to victory against you was in Legacy,or an odd/rare luck streak in BC.Our conversations reguarding Engineering were also missed by me as well.We shared some great ideas.

Ahhhh Janeway,my old teacher and a legend in the captains chair of the intrepid class starship.I am very pleased to see you again,sir.I tried my best to keep your legacy with the intrepid going when u left,but i was never quite able to live up to your standard with it.

Adam Ant! Are you still flying that pesky little ship that you and Ice always plagued the defiant with back in the days.Iceman was pretty tough with it,but you my friend wrote the book on that class starship,though the name of that class escapes me at the moment.

Ciaran old friend.It is indeed good to see you.I always think of you as a fellow academy graduate,then you completely surpassed me in rank due to you fine skill and dedication,and my occasional run in with the brass.Ive since then turned in all my "wild oats" as they say and am looking forward to the academy without all the nonsense of the old days.

I was indeed most proud of my BR achievements,i was honored to do something different in starfleet.I began the LCARS BR system to liven it up from the "paragraph style" it was before and i always hoped it would make doing them more pleasurable to read and for any starfleet officers after me to replicate and even improve upon in the years that followed.And indeed,thats what happened.I saw other officers use the LCARS BR system after and i was proud to see it flourish.

Wow...this has become a BR as well,hasnt it? LOL....i look forward to seeing you all again.right now tho,i have a STO demo to look into.

[Carbonizer]

I just want to say welcome back Mr Sisko. It would be an honour once more to be among such a legend as yourself. Times may have changed and what not but it should be the same [UFP]. Such an officer of your dedication and manners would be an inspiration to officers around [UFP] once more. Welcome home.
