Keelah@crystyll: <C> Valley Forge to DS13 control; requesting clearance from drydock Eunha@turtles#8407: <C> Rose: DS13 control here you are clear for departure Keelah@crystyll: <PA> Attention, attention; USS Valley Forge departing. All assigned personnel report to your stations Eunha@turtles#8407: "Really went all out with the Refit I see." Keelah@crystyll FX | As folks arrive, work crews are still finishing up and clearing out. The freshly refit bridge shines and... probably still smells of wet paint too Keliaya@anncarise: "It's the bridge that saw the most extensive repairs." Eunha@turtles#8407: "Still no chair for me I see." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: looks about with some curiosity Keliaya@anncarise: "We added a lot of additional reinforcement to the walls, so you might find it a bit smaller." Keliaya@anncarise chuckles, "And I'm standing half the time now too." Keelah@crystyll: "There are plenty of chairs for you Eunha. You like to cover ops and the helm right?" she smirks Keelah@crystyll hands off instructions to the npc, looking around at the rapidly filling bridge Eunha@turtles#8407: "I believe have the officers to cover those today." Keelah@crystyll: "Then you can just sit back and relax... or..." she chuckles Zhyl'ia@thecastellan finds a table-thing to lean on Keliaya@anncarise: "Stand and relax?" Eunha@turtles#8407: "Effort." Keelah@crystyll: "Indeed!" Keelah@crystyll looks to the unfamiliar Klingon, "Welcome aboard Commander" Eunha@turtles#8407 Claims this as her console Sam@drcrippler: "Still no seat for me?" he grumbles as he moves towards the centre Eunha@turtles#8407 Glances to Sam "Of course not." Keelah@crystyll looks again to the gathering officers, "Everyone, please; take your stations and let's get underway" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson sits in a bridge officer chair. Keelah@crystyll looks to Sam, "Well... what do you think?" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Settles into the console and logs in. A nice cup of coffee in the holder. Keliaya@anncarise taps on the engineering console, readying the ship to set out and doing final checkups. Sam@drcrippler: "You look good. Oh and the bridge is alright too," he chuckles Keelah@crystyll: "And thank you for the gift, most thoughtful by the way" she smiles, rewarding him a small kiss on the cheek before taking her chair Sam@drcrippler: "Ah did you get it? Cost 500 ecs that." Ashley@siskofan1991 takes the station right in front of her because it's now a tactical station because. Keliaya@anncarise hurries between several consoles, bringing up various charts and diagrams. Keelah@crystyll: "I did, thank you" she smiles Sam@drcrippler: "Oh and I didn't see what it looked like when I bought it so I hope it was appropriate," he chuckles. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson sits in a bridge officer chair. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: slinks over to oversee cadet doing tactical station P'tok@fflat: turns around to the console behind him, and brings up the science display Keelah@crystyll: "We'll see. But business first..." she looks forward, "Helm; we have departure clearance. Take us out" P'tok@fflat sits in a chair. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Now cadet dont go crashing us into anything." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson sits in a bridge officer chair. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan tugs down his uniform as he patches in via holo "The Akagi is standing by." Sam@drcrippler: "I have another surprise for you but that will have to wait," he smiles, resting a hand on the chair before glancing to Nimitz. "How you doing Al?" Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 stares over at Chance, forwning at him "Commander." Keelah@crystyll shifts awkwardly in her new chair and frowns Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Had a slight tribble infection." *A growl is heard over the comm, along with a paniced tribble sqeak.* Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 sits in a bridge officer chair. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Looks around to Keelah. "I like the new layout, the chairs make life so much easier." Sam@drcrippler blinks slightly. "Under control I hope?" he asks hearing the growl... Keelah@crystyll smiles, "Glad you approve Commander" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "It is now." *Looks off screen.* Keelah@crystyll FX | the Valley Forge detaches from the drydock moorings and powers forwards to RV with it's accompanying vessels at the outer marker Fiona@falconecoose nods to someone on her own bridge as her holo image appears "Captain, USS MacAlpine standing by." Sam@drcrippler: "Oh and Keelah...it's not that I don't trust you but...the Endeavour is going to accompany you today, is that alright?" Keelah@crystyll: "Commander Wilson; Please update the task force with the rendezvous co-ordinates" Aru@EledriPrime fizzles into holo-mode, "USS Harmony standin' by, Captain." Keelah@crystyll she looks around those gathered and on comms, "We are proceeding to the incident site where the Gainsborough was lost" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: <C> USS Valley Forge to MacAlpine, Harmony, and Akagi sending rendezvous co-ordinates, please acknowledge. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Akagi actual acknowleges. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Types on his operations board rather quickly for someone who hasnt been at ops in ten years. Fiona@falconecoose: <C> This is the USS MacAlpine we acknowledge. Aru@EledriPrime: <C> Valley Forge, this is Harmony. We receive and acknowledge your co-ordinates. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Spins in his chair. "Captain the flotilla acknowledges." Keelah@crystyll: "Alright, that's our task force in place. Now let's go get our people back; helm, take us out!" Sam@drcrippler looks around the bridge, studying it. "Where are the weapons lockers?" Keelah@crystyll nudges him with her elbow and points to a series of compartments built into the lower bridge sides of the lower section Eunha@turtles#8407: "Ops as soon as we arrive sensor sweep the whole area." she looks to Keelah "I'd also suggest we go to yellow alert just for saftey." Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 a small smile on her face as she taps away on her console lightly occasionally glancing back at the captains "Aye Aye Captain. Taking us out." as she lays in the course and makes the jump to warp Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <FX> The Akagi follows at warp Fiona@falconecoose: <FX> MacAlpine follows. Sam@drcrippler nods. "Ah. And the codes?" he looks at her expectantly Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Aye captain." Keelah@crystyll: "Are a secret" she smiles Keelah@crystyll pushes up from her chair giving it an accusing look before focusing on the gathered army of white shoulders Aru@EledriPrime: <FX> The Harmony follows Valley Forge at Portside Aft or seven o'clock if you will. Sam@drcrippler chuckles. Keelah@crystyll: "Firstly, my thanks to you all for joining us. It is always a welcome sight to see such a strong representation of the fleet working together" Keelah@crystyll: "As for our mission parameters; that is quite simple" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan thinks we need more pointy eared captains in the lineup Keliaya@anncarise turns to listen to Keelah speak. Keelah@crystyll: "We have come into possession of of a paired deflector and sensor upgrade synced to the wormhole technology used by Species 2492" Keelah@crystyll: "...or so we are led to believe..." Aru@EledriPrime lifts her brows. Keelah@crystyll: "We have applied said upgrades to the Valley Forge and once at the designated co-ordinates, will be utilizing them to track and reopen the enemy's departure anomaly" Keelah@crystyll: "Whilst we anticipate nothing extraordinary at the incident site, once the anomaly is opened... it is anyone's guess, so we proceed with extreme caution from there" Keelah@crystyll looks to Aru, "Captain, please; speak you mind" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson sits in a bridge officer chair. Aru@EledriPrime: "Right. So if this tech does work, it'll be shared with the fleet afterwards?" Keelah@crystyll: "We will attempt to recover all we can. Though our source made it clear that it will degrade very soon in order to prevent supplying us with advanced tech beyond our reach" Aru@EledriPrime grumps a moment at hearing that, but gives a nod, "Ain't that always the way?" Keelah@crystyll nods, "It is bittersweet... that's even assuming it works at all" Keelah@crystyll looks around the CO's, "Do we have any more questions at this stage?" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "DO we stand by at yellow alert?" Fiona@falconecoose nods lightly at Nimitzs question Keelah@crystyll: "For the incident site... at your own discretion, Captain...s" Keelah@crystyll: "I have toured this field twice already and am confident that it remains unchanged as the centre of our search grid, but you can all make your own decisions" she smiles slightly Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Captain I suggest we raise shields, the debris could be a hazard on warp in." Eunha@turtles#8407 Wonders if her oven is still amog the debris Keelah@crystyll glances over her shoulder to the front, "The warp in point is far enough clear that anything small enough to be that far out can be handled by the deflector" Sam@drcrippler: <C> Bishop to Endeavour, Alfred stand by yellow alert and maintain formation with the fleet, Bishop out" Keelah@crystyll turns back to the CO's, "As for what happens once we open this wormhole... well that will be a whole new story" Fiona@falconecoose nods to someone on her bridge "Take us to yellow alert and stand ready." Aru@EledriPrime looks to her left slightly, at no one here, "Take us to Yellow." Keelah@crystyll looks to Kelly, "Kelly; are our upgrades primed and ready?" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan nods off screen to raise shields. Keliaya@anncarise nods, "All set, captain. Ready to activate on your order." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Has scanners a full power scanning debris and anything else in the area. Keelah@crystyll: "Stand by to bring them online once the site is secured." she looks to science corner, "Commander... P'tok, was it? I'll need you working close with Kelly to monitor the situation once we go live" P'tok@fflat looks back toward the Captain "Yes, Captain. I have the readout displays primed to analyze data in front of me." Eunha@turtles#8407: "Anything you want me to do or just stay here and look pretty?" Keliaya@anncarise: "I've got eyes on the deflector and sensor systems, making sure there isn't any harmful feedback or anything." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson sits in a bridge officer chair. Keelah@crystyll looks to Eunha with a smirk, "I am hoping we will not need your expertise just yet" Sam@drcrippler scoffs slightly at Eunha's comment P'tok@fflat: *sends a private message to the Chief Engineer's screen* 'Is there anything in particular the captain is looking for in these scans?' Eunha@turtles#8407 Nods and goes back to play angry bir....to monitoring important systems Keelah@crystyll FX | After [insert no. of hours hear] at wrp, the task force warps in to the incident site Eunha@turtles#8407: "Commander Wilson scan the area." To P'tok@fflat: *messages back* "Every expert we've consulted haven't been able to grasp the full theory of how these upgrades work. I guess we just try to figure out what's going on and - Sam@drcrippler spends the entire time wondering when he'd be allowed to sit down To P'tok@fflat: - if it's going to impact our integrity in any way." Keelah@crystyll FX | the viewcreen fills to show the sorry remains of three Starfleet vessels in the distance, a scattered debris field surrounding them - including Eunha's oven Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Does indeed scan the area. "Well...theres another starfleetship here." P'tok@fflat: *replies* 'Understood. Thank you.' Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "USS Camelot is holding station at the feilds edge." Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 lets out a soft gasp as she sees the debris field Keelah@crystyll smiles, "Captain Levesley..." Keliaya@anncarise looks on solemnly, "Back to where we started...not in a bad way though, I hope." Keelah@crystyll: "Open a channel to the Camelot, perhaps they would care to join our expedition" P'tok@fflat analyzes the data coming in from the scans Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Hits a switch. "Channel open." Indeed opens a channel. Ashley@siskofan1991 keeps an eye on the sensors for any potential threat to the fleet. William Levesley@Levesley: *Levesleys face appears on the screen* <C> Ahh Captain I wondered when you would arrive Keelah@crystyll: <C> "A pleasure as always Captain. I assume you have the full brief?" William Levesley@Levesley: <C> I do. I have my concerns but it seems you dragged a few more ships with you. So perhaps this isn't so bad, To Ashley@siskofan1991: No visible threats, just debris Ashley@siskofan1991: Danke Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Just like old times huh Captain Levesley? Keelah@crystyll: <C> Here's hoping, Captain! If you have the area secured already, we will begin" William Levesley@Levesley: *shifts his gaze to Nimitz and offers a brief Nodd* <C> Indeed area has been secure for several hours. No unusual emissions or incidents. William Levesley@Levesley: <C> Linking Holo comms to your systems now Keelah@crystyll nods at the confirmation and turns to Kelly, "Show time" Keliaya@anncarise: "Good thing I got the holos working in time." Keliaya@anncarise: "Ready to fire up the modifications?" William Levesley@Levesley: *A brief flash of light as Holo-Levesley appears* Fiona@falconecoose nods lightly as the other captains holo loads in "Captain." Keelah@crystyll: "Proceed" she nods, "...and pray this works..." William Levesley@Levesley returns the nodd to Fiona but his eyes are fixed to another view screen Aru@EledriPrime: "Helm get ready to follow Valley Forge in at close formation." She says to her own Helmsperson. Keliaya@anncarise nods and types on her console, "Modifications to sensors active!" William Levesley@Levesley: "Do we have an indication of the Exit location?" To P'tok@fflat: Message: "If this is working properly, we should be picking up the exit point of the wormhole." Keelah@crystyll looks to P'tok, "Anything?" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Keelah "I'm moving the Akagi to take overwatch postion." P'tok@fflat continues to review the data on his screen "One moment, Captain." P'tok@fflat furrows his brow "This data is...peculiar, Captain." Eunha@turtles#8407 Moves over to have a look Keelah@crystyll quirks a brow and moves to take a look as well Aru@EledriPrime looks over towards P'tok. P'tok@fflat: "It seems to me that the wormhole contains an electromagnetic field. I believe that the wormhole exit aperture is...one more moment..." Sam@drcrippler Sam's lazy and spends the entire day in the Captain's chair :P Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Continues to scan the area keeping everything underwatch. Sam@drcrippler Sam's lazy and spends the entire day in the Captain's chair :P Keelah@crystyll peers at sciencey data pretending like she can understand it Eunha@turtles#8407 Does the same you can really trust the command staff of the ship William Levesley@Levesley seems to talk to domeone off camera. As the USS Camelot assumes formation, its shields already raised P'tok@fflat: "Captain, this looks to be an artificial wormhole." Keelah@crystyll clasps her hands together, "That's what we were looking alrighty!" Sam@drcrippler: "So someone created it?" Eunha@turtles#8407: "Likely Species 2942." Keelah@crystyll: "Target those co-ordinates and prepare to bring the main deflector online" Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "So... someone should be somewhere nearby?" Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Or is it open from their side?" Keliaya@anncarise: "Mana confirms that the deflector upgrades are operational." P'tok@fflat: "Sending those coordinates to Ops now." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "I suggest red alert captain." Sam@drcrippler looks at Ael and nods. Ashley@siskofan1991 tenses and hovers her finger over the proper button Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Nods at the coords as they come in. Keelah@crystyll turns to the bridge at large, nodding to the suggestion, "Take us to red alert" Ashley@siskofan1991 presses it P'tok@fflat looks to the Captain "Captain, if I may make one suggestion?" Sam@drcrippler: <C> Bishop to Endeavour, the wormholes seem to be artifical, recommend you step up to Red Alert." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan also takes his ship to red alert Keelah@crystyll: "Captains; stand by" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Hits the red button and the sirens and lights flash Eunha@turtles#8407 Moves over to monitor the helm Keelah@crystyll glances back to P'tok, "By all means Commander" Aru@EledriPrime: "Us too, go to Red." She orders her own tactical officer to comply. Fiona@falconecoose nods lightly as she activates red alert "MacAlpine going to red alert." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: <C> Valley Forge to all ships. Red Alert. Zhyl'ia@thecastellan winces slightly at the sudden loud blaring Eunha@turtles#8407 Nods to the Cadet Aru@EledriPrime: <FX> Harmony goes to Red Alert. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: taps her wristcomp while overlooking tac cadet's red alert prep Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: Forge* Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 nods lightly in turn as she keeps checking the helm console "Commander." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson sits in a bridge officer chair. Sam@drcrippler cracks his knuckles and rolls his shoulders. "This should be fun." Ashley@siskofan1991 sounds a little nervous "Raising shields, charging phasers, and loading torpedoe tubes, captain." P'tok@fflat: "Further analysis confirms that the electromagnetic field I detected indicates the presence of a microwormhole. Previous research indicates that manmade microwormholes are less stable than naturally+ P'tok@fflat: ocurring ones. I suggest that we divert auxiliary power to shields before we enter. I cannot predict what will happen once we are inside." Keelah@crystyll nods, "Agreed Commander" Eunha@turtles#8407: "Prepare to take us in Ensign, nice and steady." Keelah@crystyll: "Helm, bring us into range of the target co-ordinates" Eunha@turtles#8407 corrects herself "Cadet even." Keelah@crystyll looks to the holo captains, "I recommend you all hold your distance until we establish the anomaly, but prepare to from up promptly" Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 nods lightly as she starts the ship moving "Aye Aye, bringing her in." Aru@EledriPrime: "Understood." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan nods William Levesley@Levesley: <C> Camelot is ready, Secondary core at full power. Weapons ready Fiona@falconecoose nods once "Understood." before she points to her own helm Eunha@turtles#8407: "My mistake cadet take us to the wormholes coordinates not into it....Gosh my brain today." Sam@drcrippler: "Keelah...the Endeavour should stick back, just in case something bad happens," Fiona@falconecoose <FX> The MacAlpine stays behind the VF but follows a fixed distance behind her Keliaya@anncarise: "Whatever this modification is doing, it's Keelah@crystyll waits until they come to a stop and turns back, "At your discretion, Sam" Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702: "Aye Commander, I took that to be what you ment along with the Captains orders." Keliaya@anncarise: - putting quite a strain on our deflector's power levels." Aru@EledriPrime: <FX> Harmony gives Valley Forge a bit of room to do her thing. Eunha@turtles#8407 Nods "Oh good." Keliaya@anncarise: "I suggest we get through it as soon as we can." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Akagi will follow the Valley Forge." P'tok@fflat nods in agreement with the chief engineer Sam@drcrippler nods. <C> Bishop to the Endeavour, stay out of the wormhole and maintain your position at a safe distance. Continue to monitor stability and await further orders," Keelah@crystyll: "Maintain deflector power, Kelly. Draw from secondary systems if needed, but I do not want to pull from shields" Aru@EledriPrime: "Right. So once thye open the door, hug up a tad, minimum safe distance. Best not be left behind." She instructs her Helm. Aru@EledriPrime: *they Keliaya@anncarise: "Yes ma'am. Diverting all non-essential power..." Keelah@crystyll looks to the viewscreen in anticipation, after picking up a text only message on her chairs armrest Sam@drcrippler moves towards Wilson to oversee what he's doing Keliaya@anncarise FX | The bridge dims and the red alert alarms no longer blare, there is only an eerie red light across the whole room. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Is current scanning everything in range, focus on the WH naturally. Keelah@crystyll FX | The Valley Forge sits alone at the head of the pack; a wide energy beam sustaining from it's deflector and fixating on an empty position ahead of the ship Sam@drcrippler: "Nice mood lighting Keelah," he grins Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Its better than black alert." William Levesley@Levesley turns to someone off scree. "Deploy MACO teams throughout the ship. And double check those countermeasures" Sam@drcrippler: "My favourite is purple alert personally," P'tok@fflat looks up from his display "Captain, the microwormhole is opening, but it is not stable. We have two minutes to enter and exit." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Akagi can get though in that time." Keelah@crystyll nods, "All ships, form up; it's now or never! Helm... take us in" Keliaya@anncarise: "That's assuming we can maintain power for two minutes..." William Levesley@Levesley: "Camelot heading in," Keelah@crystyll eases back into her seat and braces to enter the anomaly Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 nods once as she starts the ship moving #"Aye Aye Captain! Taking us in." Keliaya@anncarise: "Permission for weapons offline? We can use the energy from those phaser banks..." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Aw hell, here we go." Aru@EledriPrime: "Don't dally, move into the queue." Eunha@turtles#8407 Moves over to Kelly Fiona@falconecoose: "MacAlpine following behind you Forge." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Lets hope way back does not implode." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Buckles his lap belt. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <FX> The Akagi flies into the wormhole behind the FOrge Aru@EledriPrime: <FX> Harmony moves into position. Sam@drcrippler does the Riker stance Keliaya@anncarise: "Well, looks like it's working, but I don't think Starfleet tech was cut out for this..." Eunha@turtles#8407: "We could evacuate some decks and completely remove power from them?" Keelah@crystyll FX | as the WH flickers into existinece like a spitting flame, VF powers off main deflector and leads the way in Fiona@falconecoose: <FX> The MacAlpine flies in right behind the Akagi William Levesley@Levesley: <FX> The Camelot follows the other smaller and not so smaller ships Keelah@crystyll FX | Heavy turbulence is experienced by all ships while the view ahead is, well... a wormhole P'tok@fflat: "Structural integrity readings are normal, Captain, but I detect exotic matter inside of the wormhole. Recommend increased power to shields." Eunha@turtles#8407 Grips on to the console to maintain her balance Ael@onajtamoprijeko: <FX> Following the procession of fed ships, small warbird decloaks and follows in P'tok@fflat: "Running a spectral analysis on the exotic material." Keliaya@anncarise: "We're losing power across the board, fast." Sam@drcrippler: "Rick, I apologize in advance if I fall on you," Eunha@turtles#8407: "Put life support to minimum and diver power from there." she suggests William Levesley@Levesley: <FX> Holo-Levesleys image flickers but resumes stable transmission. "Power systems holding over here" P'tok@fflat: "Captain the wormhole exit aperture is opening 50 km in front of us. Aru@EledriPrime: "Adjust the dampeners, and reroute power to integrity. Give those shields a nudge too, the waters is choppy in here." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "If you go down Sam, its already a bad day." Keliaya@anncarise nods, "It helps but the drain is exponential. It's because our deflector mods is keeping this thing open..." P'tok@fflat sits in a bridge officer chair. Keelah@crystyll: "Acknowledged, stand ready!" Keliaya@anncarise: "We can't sustain shields and this deflector operation...we might not even handle the deflectors alone!" P'tok@fflat: "The exotic particles are attaching themselves to our hull, Captain!" Keelah@crystyll: "Just a little more..." she mutters, gripping her armrest Eunha@turtles#8407: "Divert power from weapons to shields." Keliaya@anncarise: "Captain, recommend asking other ships for power transfer beams!" Sam@drcrippler grins as he pats Chance on the back. "It'll take a lot more than turbulance to knock me down." Aru@EledriPrime: "We can help." P'tok@fflat looks in disbelief at the chief engineer Sam@drcrippler: rolls 51 (1-100) Keelah@crystyll spins in her chair and nods back to Kelly, "Do what you must. Just a little further to go" Eunha@turtles#8407: rolls 67 (1-100) Eunha@turtles#8407 Keeps her grip on the console P'tok@fflat: "Captain, the microwormhole is collapsing!" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Chuckles "Just like old times, well minus the Borg." Sam@drcrippler he wobbles and falls into Chance's chair but remains standing Keliaya@anncarise: "We need a little more power..." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Hold an arm rest sam." Eunha@turtles#8407: "Could we route power from our shuttle craft to the ship?" Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 grips the arm of her chair as she rocks in the chair Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Keeps an eye on his plotting board and the scanner. Keliaya@anncarise: "That's got barely anything...the best power source I can think of are the other ships..." Aru@EledriPrime 's holo seems a bit shakey. P'tok@fflat furiously hammers away at his display Keliaya@anncarise: "We'll be weaker when we exit, but without sustaining this wormhole, worrying about attack will be the last thing on our minds!" Eunha@turtles#8407: "If I only I unplugged my hairdryer this morning!" she tries to keep the mood light Sam@drcrippler nods as he grips onto the chair. "Keelah, the Endeavour is safely outside the wormhole, we can send power to you all," he looks back Fiona@falconecoose her holo image flickers lightly, but seems unphased her self Keliaya@anncarise: "That should do. We're going to need all we can!" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Looks up. "Best be about it Sam." P'tok@fflat sits in a bridge officer chair. William Levesley@Levesley: "Once we transition the exit. Camelot and McAlpine can move ahead to cover the smaller ships." Fiona@falconecoose: "Captain, I can divert secondary warp cores as well to provide support." Keelah@crystyll: "Let's do it, people" Fiona@falconecoose nods to someone on her bridge "Do it." Sam@drcrippler: <C> Bishop to Endeavour, transfer power to the ships in the wormhole. Shut down all non essential systems and evacuate decks. We need everything you can give," Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson His plotting board flickers and dies suddenly. As does the rest of the ops console. "Captain Ive lost power to ops!" Eunha@turtles#8407: "Oh well Ops isn't that important....." Fiona@falconecoose: <FX> The MacAlpine diverts her secondary warp core to boost the power levels on the ships in need Keliaya@anncarise: "Deflectors picking up transferred power...shields stable...deflector back to 60% strength..." Aru@EledriPrime: Can I ask about the condition of Harmony at this point, how bad off would she be? Keelah@crystyll FX | The ingenuity and quick action of the team at large provide the needed support Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Punchs the power key several times. "Sam open the secondary panel, I need you to pull the override." To Aru@EledriPrime: Not very. Most of the drain is on the Valley Forge because our deflector is holding the wormhole open William Levesley@Levesley casts a concerned glance to the other captains. "I hope this works. The introduction of extra exotic particles from a power transfer across distance could make things worse" Sam@drcrippler swears lightly. "If it's taking us this much power to get through, how are we going to get back," Fiona@falconecoose shakes her head softly "Wasn't using that warp core anyway. And yes, yes it could." To Aru@EledriPrime: Other ships just have to contend with radiation and things inside the wormhole, so standard shields should do Sam@drcrippler nods. "On it," bends down to open a panel Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "I assume now we know tolerances needed, ships can organize their power distribution better." Sam@drcrippler: "Which one is the override?" Keliaya@anncarise: "It's working so far..." Keelah@crystyll FX | The convoy comes up on the other end of the wormhole Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Pull the red pull tab." Aru@EledriPrime 's holo seems to stablize, "That's much better." Sam@drcrippler: "Of course," he snickers. "The red one," he pulls it and looks up Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Slaps the power key. The console lights back up. Keliaya@anncarise: "There! Shut down those modifications!" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Oustanding Sam. Captain operations is back." Sam@drcrippler replaces the panel and resumes the Riker pose Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Goofy equipment." William Levesley@Levesley: <FX> The Camelot gives a burst of engine power and pulls ahead of the power stricken ships Fiona@falconecoose: <FX> As the MacAlpine exits the wormhole, it moves ahead of the other ships to provide security for them in case of power problems Eunha@turtles#8407: "Well that was fun, lets not do it again." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: <FX> Having not been in visible spectrum before, Myrmidon forms up on rest of the fleet that jumped trough P'tok@fflat: "Captain, the miocrowormhole has closed behind us. I will continue to analyze data we collected while inside." Sam@drcrippler: "There, nothing too it, just like the Borg," he chuckles remembering how he pulled the brown switch and almost cut off life support Keliaya@anncarise: "Restoring normal power levels...and agreed with Eunha completely." Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 shakes her slightly head slightly as she checks helm control power levels Aru@EledriPrime: <FX> Harmony exits with the other ships, but stays close to Valley Forge for now. Keliaya@anncarise: "Those modifications work, but Starfleet ships aren't designed for opening wormholes." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "So... where are we now? Keliaya@anncarise: "Or not a single starfleet ship, at least..." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Captain taking a reading standby." Keliaya@anncarise looks to the captain holos, "Thank you all for your support. captains.” Keelah@crystyll: "Right. Let's see where we are... Full sensor sweep, and a defensive formation" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Is indeed scanning the area trying to figure out where "here" is." Sam@drcrippler: "Here let me give you a hand," helps Chance Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 shakes her head slightly as she taps away on the helm console checking power levels William Levesley@Levesley: "Coordinating Sensor sweeps with other vessels and cooberating starchart calculations" Fiona@falconecoose nods lightly "I will get my Ops to tie our sensor data in as well." Sam@drcrippler moves into the centre so he can keep an eye on the cadet too Aru@EledriPrime: "Give her some room, and take up a defense posture. Not too far." She orders her helmsperson. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: rolls 99 (1-100) Keelah@crystyll: ... Aru@EledriPrime: rolls 99 (1-100) Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: rolls 9 (1-100) Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Turns in his chair. "I have our location captain, we'er currently in a unexplored region to the extreme south of Alpha-7192 sector." William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 100 (1-100) Keliaya@anncarise: "That far? Wow." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: rolls 83 (1-100) Aru@EledriPrime: "We's scannin' now." She informs Keelah. Fiona@falconecoose: rolls 17 (1-100) William Levesley@Levesley looks off screen, frowns for a moment. Then loosk to the assemble people. "We are detecting a Starfleet Distress Beacon. From a planet in the nearby system. 124 mark 25" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Well atleast we didn't pull a Voyager." P'tok@fflat: *Message*: 'I am transfering readings from the wormhole to your station now. Perhaps we can find a way to re-open it and stabilize it on the way back.' ---data sending-- P'tok@fflat: --transfer complete-- Sam@drcrippler briefly looks towards Keelah. "Could this be it?" Keelah@crystyll turns to Levesley, her eyes lighting up, "Then let us not dally! Perhaps you would care to the lead the way, Captain" Eunha@turtles#8407 Moves back to her original position To P'tok@fflat: Message: "We might be able to use the same technique, if the Valley Forge can handle another round of that. I'll do what I can to prepare for another travel if we need it." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "If there is need for covert look before we all barge in, that is also an option." William Levesley@Levesley nodds. "Aye. Camelot takign the lead. Lets hope there is noone else here to welcome us other than the missing crew" William Levesley@Levesley: <FX> The Camelot heads towards the planet Fiona@falconecoose looks to someone not there "MacAlpine following off your port bow." Keelah@crystyll: "Maintain red alert. Helm, follow the Camelot" P'tok@fflat: Message: I will continue to run spectral analyses on the exotic materials we encountered. The readings are...unique." Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 nods "Aye Aye Captain, following the Camelot." as she lays in the course Ael@onajtamoprijeko: <FX> Myrmidon makes the usual woosh dissapearance sound in space and follows under cloak Sam@drcrippler: "Should be transmit coordinates back to the Endeavour? She could relay them back to command?" he suggests Aru@EledriPrime: "Right. Let's scan that planet for lifesigns, yeah? Follow the group." She gives a couple orders to a couple of her crew. Sam@drcrippler: *we Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "It would take to long for the transmission, unless we opened the wormhole again." Aru@EledriPrime: <FX> Harmony follows the other ships towards the beacon. Keelah@crystyll: "By all means try, Sam. I'm not sure if a signal will get through without any repeater beacons this far out though" To P'tok@fflat: Message: "There's a reason this Species 2492 is so mysterious. This wormhole opening tech isn't anything we've seen before, I'm sure you'll have quite a bit to learn with it." Sam@drcrippler: "Well there's no harm in trying..." he taps somehing on the console. "Sent, let's see if she ever gets this." Aru@EledriPrime looks to Keelah, "We's gettin' unstable readin' from the planet. It's hard to tell at this distance, but could be protomater. Aru@EledriPrime: *" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Oh christ dont say that." Aru@EledriPrime: *protomatter Keelah@crystyll looks back to Aru, "That does not sound reassuring..." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Tzenkethi?" Keliaya@anncarise: "Protomatter...nope, not good." Aru@EledriPrime looks sympathetic, "Sorry bout that." P'tok@fflat: "Our scans confirm the Harmony's readings, Captain." Eunha@turtles#8407: "What is protomatter?" Sam@drcrippler looks at Chance. "Protomatter?" P'tok@fflat sits in a bridge officer chair. Keelah@crystyll: "Bad news Eunha... bad news..." Eunha@turtles#8407: "how bad?" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Eunha "Very highly unstable science thingy that blows up stuff." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Possible death of planets bad." Keelah@crystyll nods to the clever Romulans, "That" Fiona@falconecoose nods lightly "This is going to be fun..." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Nothing that Im cleared to say anything about." Spins to face the captain. "Captain, if anyones down there I really really suggest we get them now." Aru@EledriPrime: "Right, the sooner the better." Ashley@siskofan1991 heads off to go below decks and help with something or other probably. WHo knows Sam@drcrippler: "I am volunteering to lead an away team if need be," Fiona@falconecoose: "Depending on numbers and ability to get a lock, the MacAlpine can launch her escort for rescue operations." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Spins back to face his console. Aru@EledriPrime: "Harmony can join in, we can get close and try and pull as many up as we're able." Eunha@turtles#8407: "There are surviors." she simply says and her expression on her face has gone rather blank Keliaya@anncarise looks to Eunha, "Any idea how many, or who?" William Levesley@Levesley: "Lets get a proper look before we jump to conclusions." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "It would seem that most of the survivors are federation species. A lot of unknown fauna." Sam@drcrippler glances across at Eunha. "You sure?" Ael@onajtamoprijeko: as she reads from the wristcomp Aru@EledriPrime: "Any locals down there, outside animals and the like?" Eunha@turtles#8407 Looks to Sam "I am, You can trust betazoids more than sensors." Fiona@falconecoose points to someone on her bridge "If there is surviors, I am ready to take the MacAlpine into low orbit in the upper layers of the attmosphere." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "They are all over the place, large group point on mountain range. Also local biosigns are not in registry so no idea." Sam@drcrippler nods, convinced. Sam@drcrippler looks at Chance. "Let's do some scans of the planet, see what else we pick up," Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Im already on it." William Levesley@Levesley: <FX> Scans area for any signs of hostile ships Sam@drcrippler: "Good man," Aru@EledriPrime: <FX> Harmony scans the planet for any unknown artificial energy signatures. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Raises his voice. "Guys the prime directive is in place, I have a reading a large artifical construct. Not a ship, but more like an alien power station. Theres massive energy buildup. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Captain Skye, is your Aquarius escort able to make a ground landing?" ona@falconecoose: "Aye she is Captain Nimitz." Eunha@turtles#8407: "I can sense most of the gainsborough suvivors...." she is focusing hard Keelah@crystyll: "Then might I suggest you gather our recovery forces to take down in your Aquarius?" Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "We can provide several troop shuttles in case you want to evac them directly." Sam@drcrippler moves towards Eunha Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Keelah "I was about to say we should take the Aquarius down the planetside and set up a base camp." Fiona@falconecoose nods "I can her ready for launch by the time you have came aboard." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Finding everyone could take days." Keelah@crystyll: "I'm not certain we want to stick around long enough for a camp, Captain..." William Levesley@Levesley: "No signs of the hostile ships. And I believe any Prime Directive concerns are null and void at this stage." P'tok@fflat looks behind him, sensing movement Sam@drcrippler: "You alright? What have you got?" Keelah@crystyll: "Then let us not dally. Time is against us by the looks of that planet. Captain Skye; Subcommander Ael - I trust the two of you to coordinate a landing effort" William Levesley@Levesley loosk to the other Captains. "We have enough shuttles to deply a sizable number of teams across the planet." Eunha@turtles#8407 a small smiles appears on her face and she taps her combadge Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Understood." Eunha@turtles#8407: <C> Eunha To Artia. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "I recommend the escort to land near the largest group of suriviors." Keelah@crystyll: "I will remain here and continue to monitor the situation across the planet" Arita@vineco: <C> "Arita here." Fiona@falconecoose points to someone on her bridge "Roger that Captain, we are preparing for launch." Eunha@turtles#8407: <C> I think I have some good news for you. Keelah@crystyll looks around the gathered officers, "I'm sure you can all co-ordinate your own forces as you see fit to join on the ground" Aru@EledriPrime: "Aye." She nods. William Levesley@Levesley: "I will remain onboard the Camelot. I will deploy my Runabout Squadron to some of the more remote groupings of surviors." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Keelah and nods, looks to Fiona "If you do not object, I'd like to ride along with on your Aquarius." Keelah@crystyll: "Sam, would you take lead of the Valley Forge's team on the ground?" Arita@vineco: <C> "Tell me what it is." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Captain Skye, we have four kestrels and a scorpion escort ready in case anything wants to object. Please send us grid coordinates you wish for us to cover" Eunha@turtles#8407: <C> Comes to the bridge and i'll explain. Eunha@turtles#8407 Looks to Sam then Keelah then Sam Keelah again Arita@vineco: <C> -A Sigh- "On my way." Keliaya@anncarise continues tapping away at the console, searching for ways to minimize power drain if they need to wormhole back. Sam@drcrippler: "Certainly," he says Sam@drcrippler is distracted by Eunha's conversation Fiona@falconecoose turns to nod in thanks "Thanks, I will have my Ops send the coordinates over to you." P'tok@fflat reads the data still streaming across his screen from the wormhole Arita@vineco: "You wanted to see me, Lieutenant Commander?" Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 nods to the NPC that is taking over as she stands from her chair streching slightly Aru@EledriPrime looks to her direct left, "You've got the bridge. I'm goin' down with our triage team." She pauses, "Well yeah, maintain a lock." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Likewise, it would seem there is a landing happening and its what my job entails." Eunha@turtles#8407 Looks over her shoulder at Arita and smiles "I did. We have just come across this planet after going through a wormhole. I can sense most of the Gains missing crew." she pauses "I believe that.... Eunha@turtles#8407: includes your sister." Arita@vineco: "Why isn't she here then?" Eunha@turtles#8407: "Because we have to head down and find her. But she is down there." Aru@EledriPrime fizzles out of view. Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702: "Captain, sorry if this is out of line, but I wish to be part of the away team." Arita@vineco: "Oh.. Transporters don't work. Alright well.. I'll wait here then." Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 nods to the other captains only really knowing one of them though "Captain Skye." before she turns back to Keelah Fiona@falconecoose returns the nod "Cadet Skye." Keelah@crystyll: "Of course Commander, proceed with the rest of the party" Sam@drcrippler: "Come along Chance, you're not sitting this one out," he chuckles Eunha@turtles#8407 Nods "I will be heading down. I just wanted to inform you, thought it would be better to do in person than over comm." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Was apprently going to stay. Sam@drcrippler: "That's an order," he chuckles Arita@vineco: "Thank you. Good luck finding her." P'tok@fflat stands up from his console Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Fine, Ill break out the away team suit." Sam@drcrippler: "Bring a pipe!" he chuckles. "Anyone else?" Eunha@turtles#8407 Nods then looks to Sam "well as the second officer of this vessel i'm your second comman no ifs or butts." P'tok@fflat: "I can join as your science officer." Sam@drcrippler: "I wouldn't have it any other way," he grins "Sorry Rick" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mischa@crystyll FX | While the task force was playing with wormholes, Mischa was fiddling with the device she found in the ancient complex Mischa@crystyll FX | Through the help of the 'wisp' creatures as she dubbed them, she had got close and managed to work the console, learning that the complex was projecting an energy field around the planet Mischa@crystyll FX | Further study revealed something she read as similar to chronitons, and so she opted to disable the field Mischa@crystyll FX | As she lowered the field, the planet began to destabilize Mischa@crystyll FX | The rescue teams land to a dense forest covered in a thick fog. The ground rumbles with distant tremors and fierce storms lash all around William Levesley@Levesley: "Why is it always storms." Fiona@falconecoose looks around at the storms "Well this just gets better and better..." Sam@drcrippler: "Anyone getting a hint of the Tutenburg Forest? Anyone? No?" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan is glad he bought his rain poncho Eunha@turtles#8407: "Why do I never change out of this skirt...." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Well.. seen worse places.. but glad I did not pack sleeping cot for this place." Aru@EledriPrime is flanked by four medical officers, who she motions to stand by for now. P'tok@fflat keeps his senses alert, as a warrior should Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "I would suggest we split into two or three teams to cover larger ground area. Sam@drcrippler: "Right, I recommend we split up and scour the area, keeping within comms distance," William Levesley@Levesley: "Right other teams are picking up the more remote survivors so this area has the largest concentration." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Im just saying we need to hurry up, I dont like the look of this." William Levesley@Levesley scans the environment with a tricorder. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Lights a cigar as he waits for stuff to happen. Sam@drcrippler: "Captains take team leads?" Fiona@falconecoose pulls out her tricorder as she uses the scans from the ship to attempt to point them in the right direction "Aye, I do think we may need to split up." Aru@EledriPrime looks over to Levs, "Any lifesigns?" William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 16 (1-100) Fiona@falconecoose scans the environment with a tricorder. Eunha@turtles#8407: "I'm getting an overwhelming sense of fear, from about everything on the planet..." William Levesley@Levesley taps the side of his tricorder. "Getting too much interference" Fiona@falconecoose: rolls 79 (1-100) Aru@EledriPrime nods. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Sam "Pick six people, and you lead that team, I'll lead who is left." John Viktor@counciler132 charges his rifle and keeps it pointed safely away from anything he does not intend to shoot. Eunha@turtles#8407 checks in her med kit she's got everything she needs Sam@drcrippler looks around. "Levesley, P'tok, Eunha, Chance and Ceci with me," William Levesley@Levesley nodds P'tok@fflat stands up and joins the Captain "Yessir." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Chills at the edge of the group having a nice smoke. Scanning the area. Cecilia@hawkecosse#4702 nods lightly "Aye Captain." Sam@drcrippler: "We'll take this side of the big tree, you take the other," he nods Alistair Nimitz@natthaan nods to Sam "Make sure we have flairs." Sam@drcrippler looks to Chance, "Rick, flares?" Aru@EledriPrime looks to Sam, "Captain, I'm sendin' two of my medical officers with your group." (NPCs) Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Pats his gear. "All good." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to his team "Load up on flairs, we need to get people's attention." Sam@drcrippler nods. "Thank you Captain," nods at the NPCs Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Got six. And the runabouts are on standby." Sam@drcrippler: "Let's move, close formation, stay in visual range" he says to his team Fiona@falconecoose nods as she pats her kit "Already got them." Aru@EledriPrime signals the two other NPCs to stay with the Nimitz group, trained doctors on both teams now. Sam@drcrippler: "Chance, Levesley, take point" he says as he brings up the rear Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Everyone watch your step, firing off the first flair now." *Raises the flair gun into the air and fires it off, hoping to get attention from the friendlies.* Aru@EledriPrime: "I'd hate to take holiday here." Fiona@falconecoose points to the big loop thing "I'm going to attempt to get a vantage point from up there." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan nods to Fiona Ael@onajtamoprijeko: Anyone there? Ael@onajtamoprijeko: I hear cough. Aru@EledriPrime looks around for anyone she's not on a team with, and animals too. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: Contact. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Wait! Hold!" John Viktor@counciler132 gets to a vantage point for a flanking shot if needed. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan follows Ael up the rock thingy Arita@vineco turns around, showing a huge set of three claw marks torn down her clothing and skin. She seems startled to see people here but holsters her phaser. istair Nimitz@natthaan: "Woah.. Skye, lower the weapon.." *Steps in front of her.* Ael@onajtamoprijeko: keeps the peremiter watch Aru@EledriPrime: "Holdin'! How many you got up there?" Fiona@falconecoose lowers her weapon once she had holstered hers "Was always planning to." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan offers his hand out "Hey, it's okay, we are here to get you out of here." Arita@vineco coughs some more and carefully makes her way off of the tree-thing. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: holds hand up holding single digit up for Aru's question Aru@EledriPrime gives Ael a hand signal that likely means 'okay.' Arita@vineco: "I'm Roroa.." She finally speaks. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Roroa, it's me, Captain Nimitz, remenber I once gave you a toy model of my ship?" Arita@vineco: "Yeah.. Yeah I think. It's gone though, sorry.. Are you here to rescue me?" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Yes, we are here to bring you back to your sister and to Deep Space 13." Arita@vineco: "Okay.. Lead the way." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan reaches into his pocket and offers Roroa a ration bar "Eat that slowly, okay?" Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Captains, miss evac down towards rest il do the rearguard." . Arita@vineco shakes her head and declines the ration bar. -------------------------------- Sam@drcrippler motions to Chance, "Cover my six," he runs over to the tree Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Covers Sam. Eunha@turtles#8407 Moves round again Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex a beep in her ear goes off, but no blinding lights fire, "Hmm... It's too early in the day for you Bob...." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex seems to have not registered the call William Levesley@Levesley: "Indentify yourself or we will fire." P'tok@fflat runs toward the Captain upon his signal Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Motion to levs. Pointing at the other side of the tree. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex perks her ear over at the new directive, "Fire? you one of hte Squid survivors?!" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: rolls 20 (1-100) Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex | just then a series of blinding lights fire off near Eunha.. but no actual damage happens William Levesley@Levesley: "We are Starfleet." ntia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex reflexively aims her pistol toward her flashbulb traps Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: elements damn those swarmers Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex sets her pistol right at Sam as the figure moves closer, "Alidar would never forgive me if I missed you that close.." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Waits, since he doesnt have a shot. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex springs upward hooking her foot into Sam's ankle to disrupt his fall and brings her pistol pointing down Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: ya know... the snake guy at least helped.. if you are a pod survivor, best not be shooting other people when there are a enough bad animals here Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Stands rifle held high. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: just a thought... P'tok@fflat: rolls 16 (1-100) Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex lowers her weapon Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: Feds... Sam@drcrippler stands. "I am Captain Samuel Bishop of the USS Endeavour. This is a rescue mission," Sam@drcrippler: "And yeah, I'm a little reckless," he chuckles Sam@drcrippler shakes his head. "No, are you?" William Levesley@Levesley: "Do you mean the escape pods?" William Levesley@Levesley wants to shoot the obnoxious person Sam@drcrippler: <C> Bishop to Jani. We have a survivor, over." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: mine, I got my star hopper a few kliks northwest... engines are burned out Eunha@turtles#8407 Nods "you've been in contact with other survivors?" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Lowers his rifle. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex slaps her pistol to a holster Aru@EledriPrime: <C> Five by five, we're moving on to look for more. Jani, out. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: there was this snake dude.. didn't talk much slithered off after he killed Steve Eunha@turtles#8407: "Ghadruil..." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: otherwise, just charted some pod drops Eunha@turtles#8407: "Do you know where Ghadruil is?" Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: hey, tell your gear goon to stop lurking behind the tree.. he's gonna step on another flash trigger... Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: those were for the swarmers by the way... Eunha@turtles#8407 Motions for Levesley to put down his weapon Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: small, they fly, very fast. really annoying Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: don't like bright lights Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: still, you showed up late afternoon.. best time.. Bob is hiding still, probably mad Steve died.... and congrats on not stepping on a man-eater plant... Sam@drcrippler: "Alright, can we cut to the bit where you tell us where the other survivors are?" Eunha@turtles#8407: "She has told us where one is. Ghadruil is up near the mountains." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex pops up a holographic display and points at a few markers, "That's where some pods went down.. one exploded though..." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: snake bro went toward that one Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: did not let me ride on his back.. very rude Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: 1/10, don't recommend P'tok@fflat growls at the woman's impertinence Sam@drcrippler: "Can you lead the way?" Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: Say, you got ships here? Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Well, I say you all go check out the ones that didnt boom, I can go and check the one that did just in case." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: I've been trying to get there since last night... but you can't get far at night here... Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: Bob set up two ambushes last night, I barely made it.. wasted enough micro-torpedo.... Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex starts adjusting the launcher on her wrist Sam@drcrippler shakes his head at Chance. "Negative Commander, we stick together, I don't want to be out looking for you too." P'tok@fflat wields his bat'leth, not trusting the woman Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: I had some high ground when I spotted you guys doing a silly 4x4 in the brush... but from the distance you looked like something else... Eunha@turtles#8407: "Commander." she looks to P'tok "there is no need." Sam@drcrippler: "Right, let's head to the mountain, we might be able to get a better vantage point from there. Any objections?" he looks around William Levesley@Levesley shakes his head Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: you got comms to a ship right now? Sam@drcrippler: "We do," P'tok@fflat looks sharply at Eunha, but sheaths his weapon Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: cause I can bounce a wave off that to my people... get them on the way here Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: Talon must be looking by now... if D'Mehan isn't. Sam@drcrippler nods. "Feel free," Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex holds a hand out for a comm unit Sam@drcrippler looks at Chance for the unit Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Holds it out. Eunha@turtles#8407 seems to be growing slightly impatient but doesn't say anything she is just being fidgety Sam@drcrippler: "Hey Eunha, you alright? Lights didn't hurt you did they?" Eunha@turtles#8407 Shakes her head Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex takes hold on.. a spare badge, "Heh.. still puting comms in badges... cute." notices Eunha, "She won't be hurt by those flashes.. she's worried about people, I know the feeling. Don't worry.. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: they probably survived by now." Sam@drcrippler: "Good. Everyone else alright? Missing home yet?" he chuckles Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: unless they didn't... so no need to rush either way, heh P'tok@fflat: "Fine, sir" the Klingon says gruffly. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex does something with the badge, ripping it open and splicing it with something from a pouch on her vest, it pings as signal fires off, "That'll light a fire in Talon's butt probably.." Eunha@turtles#8407 Looks in the direction of the mountain Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: question... you didn't scan for the escape pods to beam down there? Sam@drcrippler: "We did, other rescue teams are at those locations." Sam@drcrippler: "The mountains?" he nods at Antia. "Care to lead the way?" Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex looks back at the mountains , then looks at them, then back at the mountains, "Yeah... they sure are hard to spot..." Sam@drcrippler shakes his head. "Alright everyone, standard formation, follow...her..." P'tok@fflat follows his commanding officer Eunha@turtles#8407 Followed straight a way she is in a hurry Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex stops and kicks the dirt near a ledge, checking for.. something? Probably, "Yay.. no auto death here.." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: never thought I'd miss wrestling with a Herald brute... Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Oh thats wonderful." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex tries to grab for handholds Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex finds one finally and pulls up Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: warning! Those suits will get dirty! Sam@drcrippler crouches and offers a leg up Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: especially those shoes... To Eunha@turtles#8407: Is Eunha using tricorder scans? To Eunha@turtles#8407: Or just mind scans Eunha@turtles#8407: her brain William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 40 (1-100) William Levesley@Levesley climbs To Eunha@turtles#8407: Can her brain detect anything unconscious? Eunha@turtles#8407 held on to her skirt as she climbed William Levesley@Levesley scrambles up the slope Eunha@turtles#8407: I suppose P'tok@fflat somehow does a forward roll up the cliff Eunha@turtles#8407: yes because they are a presence/alive still Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex takes a look at the area To Eunha@turtles#8407: You can sense Ghadhuil nearby then, but he is very weak Mischa@crystyll: we're just getting set to pull out Eunha@turtles#8407: "Ghadruil..." she looks in both directions P'tok@fflat nods approvingly at the Captain Keliaya@anncarise: I'm just giving them Ghadruil then wrapping up! Sam@drcrippler is slightly pissed off that nobody gave him a hand up... Eunha@turtles#8407 is too worried about her former gains crew to give a damn about sam To Eunha@turtles#8407: He's in the mountains somewhere... Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: hey, Mean Mr. Mustache... you look like a ground pounder... more than them.. you babysitting I take it? William Levesley@Levesley looks to Bushop. "Not used to field work?" Eunha@turtles#8407: "We need to hurry...I can sense Ghadruil but he is weak." Sam@drcrippler: "I've not had to climb a" - looks to Eunha. "Let's go." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: weak? He was being pretty badass yesterday... Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Indeed I am." Mischa@crystyll: where on the map are you? our groups moving to yours Keliaya@anncarise: South east cforner Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Nimitz to Valley Forge, estmate how many more Gains crewmenbers are left to be recovered? We've found Commander Leveson-Scott." To Eunha@turtles#8407: As you pass a nearby crack in the mountainside you sense Ghadhuil somewhere beyond... Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex pulls a knife and slices the plant nearby, checking some fluid that comes out Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Keeps his eyes peeled Eunha@turtles#8407: beyond? Mischa@crystyll: <C> Se'Lai. We have all registered crew on board. Captain, I don't like what we're seeing from the planet. I suggest you move quickly To Eunha@turtles#8407: Beyond the crack, but it's too narrow for you to squeeze into Sam@drcrippler easily climbs up the other inclines, perhaps trying to make up for the fact he struggled up the previous incline Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: not draining... that means no suckers nearby.. good day Eunha@turtles#8407 Looks at the cracks in the mountains "Wait...he's somewhere down there." Sam@drcrippler: <C> Bishop to Se'Lai. Negative we have one more lifesign over, Eunha@turtles#8407 kneels down by a crack but it is too narrow Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "That is correct." Mischa@crystyll: <C> Alright Sam, if you say so... just be ca-... Sam@drcrippler: <C> Keelah? Keelah? Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: you're more of a radar now.. might as well lead Sam@drcrippler: mt Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> Bishop, my team is on our way to your postion, we get the life sign and get off this plant ASAP. Mischa@crystyll: FX | Comms is interrupted as the terrain is shook by a powerful tremor. rockslides begin to fall down the mountainside Sam@drcrippler: <C> Keelah? Keelah? Sam@drcrippler: "Crap we lost coms..." William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 93 (1-100) Eunha@turtles#8407: rolls 59 (1-100) William Levesley@Levesley manages to keep his feet Sam@drcrippler: rolls 97 (1-100) Keliaya@anncarise FX | Cracks in the mountainside begin to split wider as everything shakes... P'tok@fflat: Rolls 10 (1-100) Eunha@turtles#8407 Struggles slightly to keep her balance but stays up right Mischa@crystyll: <C> *static* the intensifying storms are causing too much interference it seems Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: oh great... I was happy for a second... P'tok@fflat: Slips and gashes his arm with his bat'leth Eunha@turtles#8407: "We need to get down now!" Sam@drcrippler: "Brace yourselves!" he yells Sam@drcrippler nods, "MOVE MOVE MOVE!" Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex runs to a rock face and braces herself To Eunha@turtles#8407: The crack is now wide enough for Eunha to squeeze into William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 32 (1-100) Sam@drcrippler steadies himself on the opposite end Fiona@falconecoose stumbles slightly from the shaking but manages to maintain her footing Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Lights a cigar, you know just in case this is it. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks around "Where is the team?" Eunha@turtles#8407 Looks at the crack she was at before "Ghadruil..." it's now wide enough "I'm going in." William Levesley@Levesley slides to join the rest of the group. His shoulder slamming into the rock. He grunts but is otherwise un hurt Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Above maybe?" Eunha@turtles#8407: What can she see? Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex looks at the cigar, "Oh nice.. a lively Fed..." Fiona@falconecoose holsters her pistol so she has both hands free before she attempts to scramble up the cliff Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "I'll go up then." Sam@drcrippler: "Get off the mountain," Sam yells at the team John Viktor@counciler132 climbs. To Eunha@turtles#8407: Pitch dark in the cave Eunha@turtles#8407 Has gone into a crack to find snake Sam@drcrippler: rolls 74 (1-100) Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: friends of yours? Sam@drcrippler steadily makes his way down Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Yep." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Move down the mountain. Cause GTFO orders. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: oh a Rihanha, sweet... Eunha@turtles#8407 can be heard from the cave calling out "Ghadruil are you in here?" Keliaya@anncarise FX | The cave has no light sources and is completely dark. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Bishop, get your team to the LZ, we've got everyone... except your last man." Keliaya@anncarise | No one responds to Eunha's call. Eunha@turtles#8407: "I need a light!" Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex clicks her improved comm unit Fiona@falconecoose moves over towards the cave the Eunha is at "What is going on..." as she pulls out her space torch Mischa@crystyll looks around, "Captain Nimitz, if this is the last of your rescue party, might I suggest calling your shuttle to pickup from here when they're ready?" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Tosses Eunha a light from his hip. Sam@drcrippler nods. "Everyone follow Nimitz. " William Levesley@Levesley unpacks a repelling line from his and secures it in the grouf before tossing it down the mountain side William Levesley@Levesley: *from his pouches Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "What are you looking for?" William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 11 (1-100) Eunha@turtles#8407: "A snake, a very big snake." Mischa@crystyll turns wide eyed at the echoey voice from the caves, "Eunha...?" she mutters under her breath in disbelief Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: dude.. what's with the cape? Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks down cave Eunha went into "She has five minutes, and Im calling it." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Why?" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "I said the same thing." William Levesley@Levesley resecures the line and spike into the ground Eunha@turtles#8407: "Because he is an ambassador and crew member of the Gainsborough." Sam@drcrippler: "Get everyone out of here," he says. "I'll stay with Eunha," he orders Keliaya@anncarise | As the light illuminates the cave, Eunha can see a giant snake coiled up deep within, with the body of a Starfleet officer beside him. Sam@drcrippler: "We'll follow behind," Eunha@turtles#8407: "Ghadruil?" William Levesley@Levesley: "Ok people lets use the rope to ease the way down." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan taps his comm "Nimitz to the nearest runabout, I need pickup at my location." Mischa@crystyll heads over to the cave after hearing more famliar names Fiona@falconecoose looks at everyone else "You go, I can get the Aquaris to come and get us." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Another body here." P'tok@fflat follows Nimitz's order To Eunha@turtles#8407: Eunha senses nothing from the officer, but Ghadruil seems to still be alive. Eunha@turtles#8407 Scans Ghadruil with her tricorder Sam@drcrippler looks at his team. "Alright folks, let's not tempt fate, off the mountain, now," Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: snake dude was cool, killed Steve... I like him William Levesley@Levesley: *places a hand on Fiona's shoulder.* "Captain the Aquaris cant land here. And you certainly cant stay on this collapsing hillside" Mischa@crystyll: "Eunha, we have to get him out of here" To Eunha@turtles#8407: Tricorder reads that he is suffering from oxygen deprevation. The atmosphere has too little for him. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Is all about getting of the mountain, he does so P'tok@fflat follows Chance down the mountain William Levesley@Levesley looks to Nimitz and Sam, "Get these people off this hillside." Fiona@falconecoose grins slightly "I have done crazier. The needs of the many. And the many need to get to a shuttle." Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Lets just grab them and go.!" Eunha@turtles#8407: "He needs oxygen...We're going to need some strong arms." she then realises that was Mischa "You're alive!" Aru@EledriPrime holsters her weapon and repells down the hillside. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: stows her weapon "Al help me lifting the snake?" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Viktor, down the hill now." Fiona@falconecoose turns to look at Eunha "What do you need?" Sam@drcrippler looks at Leves. "Eunha is part of the Valley Forge crew and is under my command. You all go, I'll follow," Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: geez... you guys got enough people here? Bob must be salivating Eunha@turtles#8407: "Snake carriers." William Levesley@Levesley mumbles something about toomany Captains, and wasting Command experience but goes down the rope anyway Ael@onajtamoprijeko: moves into the cavern and grabs one end of the snake Alistair Nimitz@natthaan grabs John's arm and drags him off the mountain Fiona@falconecoose nods lightly as she goes to move into the cave to grab part of the snake guy "Let's get to lifting then." William Levesley@Levesley: "Too many cooks and not enough Broth." *he mutters to noone in particular* Eunha@turtles#8407 attempts to help lift as well Sam@drcrippler: "Subcommander, you to. And you," he looks to Antia Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Also someone should grab the officer on the floor." P'tok@fflat grunts in response to Lev Mischa@crystyll also helps ease the spinesnake out of the cavern Aru@EledriPrime: "You're not wrong." Eunha@turtles#8407: "That one is dead." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex just kinda... watches, "No one brought an anti-grav unit?" John Viktor@counciler132 dragged. Fiona@falconecoose looks at Eunha "They come aswell. No one left behind." Sam@drcrippler: "We can argue later," he says angrily and picks up the dead officer. "Let's go!" Ael@onajtamoprijeko: carries the snake with someone down the cliff Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks for the runabout he called for Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex does a quick jump or two down William Levesley@Levesley: "Lets pop some flares" Fiona@falconecoose comes down the mountain with the snake "Nimitz, whats the ETA on that evac!" Mischa@crystyll FX | The runabout fights to hold a true path but manages a less than elegant lending allowing the away team to board William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 96 (1-100) Eunha@turtles#8407 While carrying the snake she sort of stares at Mischa Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: and about now is when something big attacks us... Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Pops a flare. Keliaya@anncarise FX | There is another rumble, and a large rock lands not too far from the away team with a thunderous crash, smashing into several little pieces. Sam@drcrippler: "Captain Nimitz where's our pick up?" he orders as he holding the body Alistair Nimitz@natthaan points to the incoming runabout "There it is." Eunha@turtles#8407: "You're really alive...." Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: "Everyone onboard, now!" Sam@drcrippler: "Everyone in!" Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Crams into the shuttle. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: trots into the runabout William Levesley@Levesley: "Lets go people" Fiona@falconecoose starts moving quickly towards the runabout with the snake and who ever else is carrying it, before she kinda just drops/throws it in Mischa@crystyll FX | the ground all around them is giving way to fiery explosions by this point Eunha@turtles#8407 Heads in carrying apart of the snake P'tok@fflat runs into the shuttle, careful not to poke anyone with the bat'leth Aru@EledriPrime rushes in with her three remaining NPC doctors. Sam@drcrippler: rolls 36 (1-100) Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: really.. a Runabout? I guess so John Viktor@counciler132: "Get inside!" Fiona@falconecoose stands just outside the door, holding on as people start getting in. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Antia "File a complaint later!" Sam@drcrippler trips as he moves, coming crashing down onto the ground. "For f..." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Looks at the pilot. "Lets make like a chicken and run, once everyones onboard get us out of here!" Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex seems to wait for others to get in Alistair Nimitz@natthaan rushes forward to grab sam as he trips and carries him to the runabout Mischa@crystyll: 'spots Sam fall and rushes back to help him into the runabout Eunha@turtles#8407 While in she puts an oxygen mask on the snake to make sure he survives Ael@onajtamoprijeko: after having stowed the snake, moves back to the ramp to help rest in Fiona@falconecoose looks at the Woman standing "Get into the damn shuttle now! I don't know who you are and frankly I don't care, get in!" Keliaya@anncarise FX | Small rocks sliding down the mountain pebble the hull of the runabout, making loud crashing noises on top of the destruction around them. Alistair Nimitz@natthaan is the last person to enter the runabout Sam@drcrippler grunts as he's lifted up and, still holding the body enters. Sam@drcrippler: "Thanks," he grunts at Nimitz. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Nods at Nimitz, "Helm full military power! Take us out!" Keliaya@anncarise FX | Shrieks and howls of creatures fill their ears in addition to the rumbling. Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: for what it is worth.. planet wasn't blowing up before you got here... Fiona@falconecoose jumps into the door at the last second as it starts to take off Aru@EledriPrime: "Brace yourselves." Mischa@crystyll: "That... might be my fault..." she says to Antia Keliaya@anncarise FX | As the runabout takes off it enters a thick black cloud of ash...and then it becomes clear that it's not ash, but thousands of small, bat-like creatures. Fiona@falconecoose: rolls 41 (1-100) Sam@drcrippler: rolls 2 (1-100) Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: rolls 4 (1-100) Fiona@falconecoose falls to her hands and knees as she landed inside the shuttle Arita@vineco looks out the window to see the bat-like creatures. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: rolls 96 (1-100) John Viktor@counciler132: rolls 100 (1-100) Aru@EledriPrime: rolls 75 (1-100) Eunha@turtles#8407: rolls 36 (1-100) William Levesley@Levesley: Sam and Nimitz fall flat on their faces in a pile of limbs as they get in Ael@onajtamoprijeko: rolls 70 (1-100) William Levesley@Levesley: mt Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: let's not crash into the swarmer pile.. or just light them up.. they hate light William Levesley@Levesley: "Firing light burst" William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 6 (1-100) Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Rachs over the cramped compartment. "Fireing phasers" Alistair Nimitz@natthaan: <C> NImitz to Valley Forge, we are the last runabout off the planet, let's get home as soon as we dock." Sam@drcrippler brushes himself down. "Right , have we got everyone?" Sam@drcrippler: "Anyone not here make yourself known," he says Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "I think we lost Dignity somewhere along the way sir." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex notes Mischa, "You feds... you can't just evac to a planet.. it has to blow up... was surviving not suspensful enough?" Fiona@falconecoose: <FX> The Aquarius dusts off as it rendevous with the shuttle lighting the area up around them with spotlights Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "Im still on the mountain captain, I dropped my cigar." Mischa@crystyll: <C: Se'Lai> Glad to hear it Captain. Standing by with triage teams Keliaya@anncarise FX | The phasers burn through the swarm and a number of them drop down, but the swarm is panicked and quickly fills the gap, flying without care back into the way of the runabout. Eunha@turtles#8407 Gets up and moves over to Mischa and hugs her tightly P'tok@fflat bandagees his bloody arm Aru@EledriPrime: "You're welcome, lady." Sam@drcrippler he chuckles and then winces slighly as he looks down to his bloody knees and hands Alistair Nimitz@natthaan looks to Wilson "I will give you a brick of GPL if you never mention your damn cigar around me again." Fiona@falconecoose: <C> Aquarius, this is Skye. You are clear to blast us a hole through this swarm with phasers. Keliaya@anncarise FX | Almost the entire sky turns black with this sudden mass migration and a number of them slam into the ascending runabout's hull. Mischa@crystyll opens her mouth to respond to Antia but is interrupted by the hug. She smiles, "It's good to see you too, Eunha" Sam@drcrippler: rolls 10 (1-100) Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Chuckles. "Well see captain." Fiona@falconecoose: rolls 24 (1-100) Fiona@falconecoose falls into a bulkhead as she lands on her knees Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: who is flying this thing? You need a pilot? I'm a pilot.. Eunha@turtles#8407 then punshes Mischa shoulder not too hard "Don't you ever get lost on a mysterious planet again." she smirks Sam@drcrippler falls as the creatures hit the shuttle and bangs his head on the side. "Oh for...permission to swear? What am I saying, I'm a captain..." he swears loudly Fiona@falconecoose | The Aquarius opens fire into the swarm with it's full phaser array attempting to keep the area around it's self and runabout clear Mischa@crystyll chuckles, "Well, if you insist..." Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Fires a torpedo. Keliaya@anncarise FX | The phaser fire clears the way a little, but a few still smash into the crafts in the creatures' mad dash for safety/ Aru@EledriPrime: rolls 18 (1-100) Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Just polarize the hull. Let them fry on their own." Arita@vineco: rolls 23 (1-100) Fiona@falconecoose: rolls 53 (1-100) Aru@EledriPrime is slammed into the bulkhead, "Bloody hell!" Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: Leave it to the Rihanha to have a sensible idea... Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: man I love Rihannsu, heh Fiona@falconecoose manages to grab onto a handhold before she falls William Levesley@Levesley: rolls 95 (1-100) Eunha@turtles#8407: rolls 85 (1-100) Arita@vineco is thrown back against something hard after a torpedo explodes in close proxy to the shuttle and the shields doesn't like that. William Levesley@Levesley keeps his feed through all the turbulance Eunha@turtles#8407 Catches on to something to keep hold of Ael@onajtamoprijeko: "Also... that reminds me... " taps her comm on <C> Ael to Myrmidon, I remember asking for fighter escort for runabouts, now would be a good time. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson: "That outta fry the little bastards/" Ael@onajtamoprijeko: back on bridge, she did ask for runabouts to be given couple of scorpions as escort, fx help would be nice Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: heh, now we're talking... if my guys were here I'd ask them to wide beam this part of the sky Sam@drcrippler sits down. To Ael@onajtamoprijeko: Got it! Sam@drcrippler sits down. Sam@drcrippler: "Hey guys...good job out there," he says to all Keliaya@anncarise FX | Myrmidon's scorpion fighters swoop in, venting a plasma cloud that kills the swarmers in the vicinity and disperses the swarm. Chance Wilson@captainchancewilson Waves from the tac station. "You too cap." P'tok@fflat nods to the Captain Ael@onajtamoprijeko: <C> And there we go, cavalry. Mischa@crystyll FX | As the runabout docks, all ships back off to a safe distance at the systems edge as the planet explodes Sam@drcrippler: <C> Bishop to Se'Lai. Are communications back online? Sam@drcrippler: mt Sam@drcrippler: <C> Bishop to Se'Lai. Are communications back online? Mischa@crystyll: <C> Indeed they are. Welcome back all Sam@drcrippler: <C> Yep we got everyone, get the whisky ready. Bishop out." Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: Glad that was not my personal star hopper.. I'd raise hell if it got blown up... William Levesley@Levesley: <C> Levesley to Camelot standby to beam me back Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: but I left that with Talon... heh.. giving my ship to the Jem Hadar was a smart move.. go figure.. Ael@onajtamoprijeko: <C> Ael to Myrmidon, we saved the day boss, I would like my bunk now. Prepared for beamout ----------------- Antia Liana-Tems@Master_Dex: For whomever does the AAR, Antia's people arrived in a modified T'varo later to pick her up, you even got to meet her XO... a Jem Hadar, he's friendly. ((After Antia transfers to the LFS Jhu'Ihstelam)) Talon affixed a curious stare at Antia, who had proceeded to plop into and lounge in the Captain chair on the modified T'varo vessel, "Only a few days?" "Yep.." Antia replied nonchalantly, "The squids said there was some crazy alien time warping gizmo keeping the planet from dying due to protomatter or whatever." "Huh.... why was it made with protomatter though? Got to be easier ways to make a nature preserve.... Kind of amusing considering what the Tzenkethi are up to lately actually." Talon, a Jem Hadar long since freed from Dominion control including the need for ketracel white (though he and Antia never discuss how that was accomplished), noted to himself with a mild curiosity. "So the lizard pigs are being uppity eh? Should see about getting some feelers in with them. Can never have too many friends after in high places after all." Antia noted sitting a bit straighter, "We heading back to Halation?" "Yes, We just dropped into Jouret system and are in queue for the gate to Solanae, won't be more than an hour after transfer. Alidar has been wanting to see you again, it was months for us after all, we though the Foundation's icon was lost for a bit." Talon noted with a bit of a sardonic note. "Pfft.. please... I bet D'Mehan has been losing it though." She says with a smirk. A round of chuckles goes around the bridge. With the most sarcastic form he can muster, the Jem Hadar mockingly states, "He never gave up on believing... cause..." and he and Antia both finished the sentence in mock unison, ".. that's what it means to be a pirate...." "Yeah.." Antia continued, "It's still wrong, but it's nice to know where the idiot stands, heh." "What about those Feds? They were all new ones to you right?" "Eh... not so bad.. a couple of them were a bit gung ho, I liked their security babysitter dude, except for the mustache he was focused nicely. I wouldn't mind having dealings with them again maybe." Antia notes with a nonchalant air about her. "Well... it's a small galaxy after all. Those things that attacked you both are still about too." Talon notes with a smirk. "Yeah, they might even want my intel there eventually. Liana Foundation is a friend to all." she says happily as she gets up to retire for a bit in her chambers on ship, "Let me know when we're home." as she heads off and Talon takes over on the bridge, satisfied his leader is back.

SUBMITTED: Stardate 94032.8FILED BY: CAPT K. Se'LaiSECURITY: Level 2 - Confidential

LOCATION: Alpha-7192 Sector.

MISSION: Reopen wormhole utilized by Species 2492 to track possible location of Gainsborough survivors.

OUTCOME: Remaining survivors from USS Gainsborough recovered (43 personnel in total). Antia Liana-Tems returned to an allied vessel. Ghadruil returned to the Korlackress homeworld to receive more suitable aid.

KEY PERSONNEL:

CAPT Keelah Se’lai (USS Valley Forge) CAPT Fiona Skye (USS MacAlpine) CAPT Aru Jani (USS Harmony) CAPT Alistair Nimitz (USS Akagi) CAPT William Levesley (USS Camelot) CAPT Samuel Bishop (USS Endeavour) CAPT John Viktor (USS Freeman) SDCR Ael (RRW Myrmidon) CMDR Thalszhyl’ia Zh’Zhavis CMDR Chance Wilson CMDR P’tok LCDR Keliaya LCDR Jung Eunbi CDT Ashley Terik CDT Cecilia Skye RECOVERED PERSONNEL: CMDR Mischa Leveson-Scott CIV Roroa Pertiwn CIV Antia Liana-Tems CIV Ghadruil STATUS UPDATE: MIA TO KIA: LT Garvey LT Shusiilla ENS Wanda NARRATIVE: After receiving yet another mystery tip, we concluded that it was unlikely for our enemies to try the same trick twice and decided to investigate this lead, which contains more details and appeared more legitimate. This time, we did not go alone and instead assembled a task force. Upon release from drydock we rendezvoused with the other vessels (names above in the personnel list) and proceeded to the site where the Gainsborough’s task force was previously lost. Our mission was expedited upon arrival as we found the USS Camelot patrolling the region and so initial arrival procedure was foregone. This enabled us to promptly commence our plan of action. The Valley Forge deflector and sensors had already been upgraded with the supplied information prior to our departure, and so we moved straight to applying the sensor upgrade in order to identify the aperture point. Happily, this yielded prompt results and so we proceeded to a safe distance from the task force and brought the deflector upgrade online. The energy pulse we emitted was focused on the target coordinates and seemed to drain a large portion of power before showing any signs of results. It took an unnerving amount of time, but sure enough a wormhole aperture began to form. It scanned as being far less stable than a naturally forming anomaly and it was estimated to not be sustainable for more than few minutes. With no time to lose, we proceeded to enter the event horizon - with the task force following in close formation. It soon became apparent that the power draw to sustain the anomaly was overly taxing on the Valley Forge’s systems and despite rerouting all non essential power - we were looking to fall short. The Endeavour provided a power transfer to aid us in sustaining the anomaly and we soon exited unscathed into an uncharted system. I am pleased to report at this point that the task force worked with extremely good cohesion and vessel coordination was optimal; and while some vessels immediately set about investigating the area, others more suitably equipped secured the region around them. It was not long before the task force detected a Starfleet distress beacon emanating from a nearby planet. Whilst closing on said planet, the Harmony also detected what was believed to a substantial protomatter build up - indicative of an increasingly unstable geological state. This was confirmed as we made orbit since data suggested that the planet was verging on collapse (now believed to be an exponentially accelerated runaway greenhouse effect). Though orbital scans confirmed the presence of multiple personnel on the ground, transporter use was ruled out due to the increasingly unstable atmospheric conditions and so - again with admirable cohesion - the task force quicky assembled all available small craft to ferry rescue parties to the surface with USS MacAlpine and RRW Myrmidon coordinating small craft movements. Ground conditions were reported as rapidly deteriorated by rescue teams 1 & 2 (made up predominately of the combined task force command staff). This hampered the search efforts which led to an undesirable increase in the time taken to reach identified personnel. The teams were however successful and I am pleased to report that all missing personnel have now been recovered, or at least accounted for. Unfortunately nothing could be done to prevent the planets deterioration, as the last rescue team barely made it off the surface before the planet exploded. We have at least retained some detailed scan data on the indeginous life thanks to the combined tricorder scans collated from rescue parties and recovered personnel (data will be composited within the planetary archive record for posterity). Following my debrief with CMDR Leveson-Scott, I believe that this sequence of unfortunate events regarding the planets demise was unavoidable. The Commander presented compelling data which suggested a structure of unknown origin that she encountered was responsible for maintaining an energy field around the planet. Data suggests that this field was holding the planet in a form of virtual temporal suspension - I say virtual as it was not completely suspended, but seemingly progressing at a severely decelerated rate - and had it not been deactived by the Commander when it was, it is likely that our rescue teams would have also become caught in it's effects. For this if nothing else; the Commander has earned by deepeset gratitude and upmost respect, as it can not have been an easy decision to reach. RECOMMENDATIONS: Full support for recovered personnel must be a priority. Despite this ordeal only lasting a few days for them (compared with the five months that have passed for the rest of us), it is an extremely traumatic series of events and they should be given every opportunity to make a full recovery. Consideration should be given to how Starfleet conducts further investigation into the artificial wormholes. The one our task force used today tracked to the southern most reaches of Alpha 7192, however this is not consistent with our previous positive result in the recovery of Cadet Tierno. I can only surmise that there are further mechanics to these wormholes than we presently understand. While every effort was made to retain the system upgrades we were provided, they did - as we were advised - expire. Personnel involved may have some intermittent knowledge retained but with no solid data to reinforce any of it, reconstructing the upgrades will prove to be a long term endeavour. I have nonetheless requested that my staff involved work with DS13 research teams to advise to the best of their abilities on what they can recall of the technology. //Attachments// Survivor_Testimonials.lnk Alien_Structure.scn Sensor_Readings.dat Tricorder_data_Coll.rar

MISSION: Supplementary Report - Recovery Team 1

OUTCOME: Recovery Team 1 located the survivor known as Antia Liana-Tems and Ghadruil.

KEY PERSONNEL:

CAPT Samuel Alexander Bishop CAPT William Levesley CMDR Chance Wilson CMDR P'tok LCDR Jung Eunbi Dr (NPC1) Dr (NPC2) RECOVERED PERSONNEL: Antia Liana-Tems and Ghadruil NARRATIVE: Upon beaming down to the planet, the away team decided to split up into two teams of six, lead by myself and Captain Nimitz. For the purposes of this report, my team is Recovery Team 1, and Captain Nimitz's is Recovery Team 2. Both teams carried medical and tactical officers as well as long range communicators and emergency flares. Taking up a close tactical formation with all officers staying within visual range due to the fog, we set off to try and locate the missing survivors. Almost immedietly we located several survivors which we directed back to the landing area to await an evac. LCDR Eunbi decided to gain some high ground, which she achieved by climbing a rocky outcrop. CAPT Levesley instructed CMDR P'tok to follow her whilst the CAPT, CMDR Wilson, and I carried on searching the ground. Tricorder scans revealed another life form ahead which was further confirmed by LCDR Eunbi from her vantage point. Closely followed by LCDR Eunbi and CMDR P'tok, we advanced onwards with caution whereby we were promptly fired at by the life form. We could not see this person, but the phaser fire gave us a rough idea of where the life form was. CMDR Wilson, CAPT Levesley and myself all took up positions around this point, surrounding the area, with the other two officers taking supplimentary positions around us. Following this, I introduced us and our intention to the life form but it did not seem to respond. Suddenly, from behind us, a series of blinding lights flashed as CAPT Levesley repeated my order. Fearing for the safety of the team, I charged in on the life form. Though my attempt was unsuccessful, the distraction gave time for the rest of the team to move in and surround the life form. She introduced herself as Antia Liana-Tems, one of the surviors. Informing us that she had last seen Ghadruil moving towards the mountain area, we headed off in that direction. As we ascended the mountain, there were a series of tremours and rockfalls, making the ascension risky. Given that the mountain was no longer safe to climb, I ordered the team to make its way back down. This is where we met up with Recovery Team 2. LCDR Eunbi managed to locate a crack in the rocks which led down to a small cave with the bodies of Ghadruil and another officer. As the tremours widened the crack, LCDR Eunbi crawled in to try and rescue the two bodies. Ghadruil was unconscious but alive, whilst the other officer was dead. As the two teams met, there was some conflict about who was meeant to be giving orders but this was quickly resolved and everyone got off the mountain with the two bodies and we were promptly picked up by an awaiting shuttle.
