Mission 13: "The Heist"

[Orpheus]

"Viper, this is Rivendell Launch Control. You are cleared for departure, good luck."

[Luke Voison]

Luke nodded and only when the commander left did he notice the decapitated head of a an Heraani lying a few feet away. It was quite impressive seeming she is only one person, compared to himself he could only take on roughly two of these pests at once-though there was also the fact that he knows nothing about this woman, what training she possesses.

Only after a few minutes did he managed to tear his eyes from the head, it wasn't that much of a pretty face anyways.

The ensign, feeling that it wouldn't be very smart standing in the middle staring at a head, jogged over to the rather foreign looking Heraani ship and took a defensive position.

[Odona Covell]

Odona stood next to his master and the other Jedi knight.  At first he was polite in letting his superiors address the Starfleet officers but after they all left in response to an attack Odana turned to Master Sar "Thanks for the rescue but it seems we still have problems to deal with, perhaps we can help these people fend off these insects."

[T'lana]

OOC: Wow the Heraani have fast Warp Drives to catch up to the Rivendell twenty light years away. Excellent sensors too.

[The Gallifreyans]

"Sir, we are in weapons range!" the helmsman called out. Dechtakar, now standing, glared at the holographic viewer.

"Fire all lines!"

The heated lines that ran along the graceful edges of the Sanctity finally released their torrential power, as a lace of tetryon and psionic energies came forth, producing a brilliant, pure-white beam. This beam struck the forward Heraani cruiser, and began to rapidly overwhelm it's shields and boil away it's hull.

As both the Sanctity and her sister fired on the lead vessel, it finally cracked like a nutshell and a blazing fireball erupted, spewing the crew and atmosphere out. This got the Heraan's attention, as the remaining six destroyers turned their attention from their prey to their predators.

[Taurik]

(OFF: It was just the character's opinion. Gallifreyans can be kind of arrogant. But regardless, if 80 MGLT is 32 km/s, that's about 0.1% of lightspeed. The maximum output of a Starfleet impulse engine is at least that. Emergency impulse speed gets a ship up to around 5% of lightspeed, but any higher and you begin to feel the effects of Newtonian time dialation. In my experience SW ships are faster in FTL, but ST ships have the advantage at sublight.)

[Taurik]

As soon as the last of the escape pods were aboard, a few of the crew performed a head check. Lieutenant Stevens made his way up to Taurik, still in pain from his injury, but able to serve. "Captain," he said, "We're counted over and over, and we're missing twenty-one people, including Commander Freeman and Larial. Not to mention, sir, the Kelata still isn't in the docking bay."

[Chaya Sar]

OOC: We have two Pelican Dropships? Cool...do we have two Warthogs to? That would be even cooler. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> I must admit, I do love HALO.

IC:

Jedi Master Chaya Sar, had had a particular good sleep, one that she hadn't had for sometime. She was about to wake up, when she felt Taurik's presence and the feeling he projected into her mind. Chaya Sar awoke and stretched, well as much as you can in the cramped cockpit of a space superiority starfighter, a Type 2 Viper. She looked down to Taurik and opened the canopy, which slid open on it's two hydraulic pistons.

"Hello Captain Taurik, what can I do for you?" Chaya asked with a smile.

[Morgan Freeman]

"Very good Ensign T'kar keep up the good work and you have engineering, I will be on the bridge."  With that Morgan  stood up from the engineering console.  
As soon as he arrived in a turbolift alone he pressed his comlink =A= Morgan to T'lana, we are good to go and I am on my way to the bridge, all of the systems check out. =A=

[Tigerlead]

~Rescue who?~ thought Tigerlead but kept the issue to himself, he straped in the seat and turned to his fellow security officer and smiled "Can i help you with something you seem to be staring at me ever since i got aboard" he calmly asked http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[T'Kar]

T'Kar moved quickly while he dispatched two gaurds nearly at once with the help of his acute Klingon instincts. They went through one more corridor and found a transporter room.
There were two gaurds and one elite. Mr.Beta killed the gaurds with ease but the elite drew his energy brace in a defensive stance. As Mr.Beta fired upon the elite, T'Kar went behind the elite and stabbed him with his "lucky" ceremonial knife he honorably recieved as a child. Beta finished the elite off now that he could no longer telekinetcally block the shots.
"We shall beam up at your command, sir." said T'Kar to a surprised Beta.

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar was tired of playing with the fighters and decided it was time to use the seismic charges the Blue Harvest used as a secret weapon. She had gotten the idea to use a hidden seismic charge launcher from her father and mother, who in turn got the idea from Slave I, a vessel owned and operated by first; Jango Fett and then by his clone 'son' Boba Fett. seismic charges were originally designed to destroy large asteroids and planetoids that are a constant problem to navigation. Used as a weapon against starships was found to be equally devastating.

@"Taurik, I am going to use the Blue Harvest's seismic charge launcher."@

@"Odona, Aeryn, give the main batteries a rest before they over heat. Let's show these Heraani what this vessel can do."@

Seismic charges have a blast radius of 50,000 meters, so Chaya had to calculate the distance between the Starfleet vessels and where she was going to deploy the seismic charges. Once Chaya Sar had finished calculating the distance using the Blue Harvest's navcomp, she changed the Harvest's Pitch and yaw to match that of the slew of Heraan Fighters heading for the Starfleet vessel. Lucky for her they were stupid enough to be in a tight wedge formation.

Chaya Sar activated the hidden launcher at the meridian point of the on coming vessels, the seismic charge dropped nearly on top of them. As soon as the Blue Harvest was clear of the blast radius the seismic charge detonated automatically, a flash of light could be seen that resolved into a radial shockwave of blue colored energy.

The seismic charge did it's job all too effectively, each fighter was treated like parts of a large asteroid as they simply broke up in smaller more manageable pieces.

Chaya was pleased that her new found friends were safe for now, but was not pleased that she had to kill so many of these sentient beings since coming to the Milkyway Galaxy.

Trying desperately to swallow the lump in her throat, Chaya set course for the Heraani Capital Ships, determined to use the rest of the seismic charges.
By the time the Blue Harvest had reached the closest Capital Ship they had already launched another wave of fighters.

@"Odona, you and Aeryn see if you can take out those fighters, I'm going to deploy another seismic charge."@

Chaya altered the elevation of the modified Corellian Stock Light Freighter, passed over the first Capital Ship and deployed another seismic charge, throttling up to escape the blast radius.

The seismic charge detonated as Chaya crossed her fingers, hoping this worked. They were designed to break up asteroids with a lot more mass and density than starships possessed and sure enough, the gravito-magnetic energy of the seismic charge reduced the Heraani Capital Ship to smaller components.

Chaya was pleased and sad at the same time, as she did the same thing to the rest of the Capital Ships until there were no seismic charges left, from a magazine of five.

Chaya Sar set course back for the Starfleet vessels and gave her Jedi companions in the turbolaser batteries a field of fire.

[Orpheus]

"Very well, sir."

Orpheus took control of the aft phaser banks, and began to fire controlled bursts at as many plasma bolts as he could, destabilizing their cohesion and dispersing them. Unfortunately, as much as he pushed them, the phaser arrays could not charge and discharge quick enough to stop every shot, and while it bought them precious time, the Rivendell was still falling under fire.

[Taurik]

(OFF: Congratulations, it takes some serious idiocy to drive the captain away for a few days.)

Taurik stepped onto the bridge of the Sanctity, and immediately located the Thurokiir. He walked up to the Gallifreyan commander, and returned Dechtakar's bow.

"Thurokiir, we must retrieve the rest of the Rivendell crew. Set course to intercept with the rest of the shuttles and escape pods that have not already been recovered."

[Tigerlead]

OOC: Now if someone would welcome us aboard before the Heraani fighters toast us.... http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>
