Mission 8: The Battle of Avalon

[Baphomet]

Baphomet looks over the PADD and then turns to Commander Freeman.

"There is just one problem with your plan, no vessel can travel through nullified spatial field, that is why my intentions were to produce a Shift effect between us in normal space and the Na'Jigat."

Baphomet then shows him a schematic at the Science Station.

The simulation shows a vessel emitting Antigravitons in front of a vessel and then more vessels showing a void spreading out in front.

"But you are correct it seems I have made an error in my calculations when it comes the Navigational Deflector Arrays."

"But, yes taking my shuttle out waiting on the other side of Avalon station with Captain Taurik and Ambaseddor Vurak on board. When the vessels create the null void, we could Shift in behind the Na"Jigat, pwerhaps."

OOC: Except I haven't heard back from Admiral Montrell yet.

[Baphomet]

"The logical thing to do Lieutenant is withdraw, but the less logical course of action is to rebuild and fortify the bases."

Baphomet thought for a moment...

"Also I have a proposition, for all vessels and Space stations to be upgraded with the Shift-Drive and reactors to be decommisioned in favor of the Zero Point Energy converter...but that is only logical."

[Taurik]

"Thank you, but I would rather adapt to the arm, rather than adapt it to me," Taurik said, tossing his ceremonial weapon to Freeman. "Such challenges give one strength."

[Baphomet]

After the call from Frontier Station, Baphomet raised her eyebrow a Morgan who had turned back to resume the discussion, he smiled wickedly. (Just a bit of fun http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  )

". . .As I was saying Commander, my research into ZPE converters, given also that my shuttle is powered by a ZPE converter shows that the energy output is near infintesimal.
The other pros to such a device, is that if there were ever a core breach the energy would just return to Subspace and the Converter would shut down with little to no amount of damage to the vessel."

"The reason for all my research was to have a clean, endless supply of safe energy production, powerful enough to slingshot a vessel anywhere in the galaxy and the Universe, within a matter of minutes, which is where the Shift Drive comes in.
My goal is to have every vessel in Starfleet, use the Shift Drive and ZPE Converter to explore everything in the universe, is that not what Starfleet is all about."

~Logical, don't you think?~

[Morgan Freeman]

OOC: We are at avalon and isn't it nice to have a crew in agreement.  

IC:  =A= Freeman to Baphomet =A=
I would be delighted.  I will see you in twenty minutes.  

Twenty minutes goes by as Morgan is in his quarters trying to make himself presentable for dinner then after giving up on succeeding he goes the Baphomet's quarters and rings the door chime.

[Will Matthews]

Matthews quickly disengaged the power to the weapons systems, and notified the captain.
He stood at his station and silently observed the veteran officers, reminded just how much he had not seen. For a moment, it hit him that they might not leave the confrontation in one piece, but he swept it away. He checked readings and refocused.
"Ships power level has dropped 10% from disengaged weapons".

[Orpheus]

"But the Shift Drive hasn't gone through Starfleet-sanctioned testing as of yet. To install in on a widespread scale would not only be a daunting task, but unsafe."

[Morgan Freeman]

"If you would like sir, I could see if we can't make it a little more "comfortable for you.  Sometime I would also love to take a look at your khala just for information sake.
Your orders captain?"

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan smiles seeing that he got the reaction he wanted out of Baphomet.  

"Commander, I would like to test adapting the ZPE to the Scorpian attack craft just to see how it interfaces with starfleet technology. Would you care to assist me?"

[Baphomet]

OOC: Avalon station still I think

[Morgan Freeman]

Freeman arrives on the bridge

"Commander Baphomet, I have been doing some calculations on your shift jump plan and I beleive it may need some tweeking.
The drive system using a hyper accelerated anti-energy partical to acheive Null space travel corret?
Well if we just flast them with it they will recover quickly, however if we encase the fleet and the station in a field created from these particles we should pull a houdini on the Na'jigat.  
The schematics are on this padd.  Please review them and let me know what you think."

Freeman hands the padd over to Baphomet which indicates a configuration utilizing the main deflector on each vessel in the fleet.  

"As for the human variable, the Gallifreyan can hid our energy patterns from the Na'jigat.  Then we take section 3 of the Rivendell, your shuttle, and the scorpian out with energy signitures to account for the fleet and the station and, in theory, at the least the Na'jigat will beleive we are moving the station."

[Will Matthews]

Matthews remained at the main bridges tactical console.
"Aye sir. Tactical is ready for orders".

[Morgan Freeman]

"Baphomet and Matthews, lets begin working on a way to move Avalon station should the need arise.  

Orpheus, calucate the odds of successfully moving Avalon to another system using conventonal warp drive technology."

[Taurik]

Taurik breathes a tiny sigh of relief. "Thank you, Commander."

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan and Baphomet are discussing the ZPE when the call comes in to an otherwise empty bridge.  
Morgan Raises an eyebrown in true Vulcan style.

Interesting, that is the first time I have been called back for R&R.  Open a channel to the station

=A= Frontier this is Rivendell =A=
We are assisting in the cleanup of Avalon and then will be returning to the station. Is all well there?
