Helm put us between the Romulans and the Generals ship
You heard the General Lt. Harf, cover them with our own weapons.
Ops as soon as you can get a comm link to him I wish to speak to him, I just hope we can bring home both ships and give those Romulans something to think about next time they plan on attacking a marine ship, Understood? Also what is the statis of our friends that brought us here?
"Yes sir" first Lt. Morgan snapped as he went to work as he piloted the ship to help defend the Night Walker.
"On it sir" second Lt. Daniels snapped as he worked on the ops station to try and get a link between the two ships
*Powell walks out of his ready room and takes the command chair. He looks about that busy bridge as officers are running about in all directions.*
"Sir," an officer speaks from the science station from behind him "we are nearing the planet. we have one romulan warbird in our scope. they are orbiting the planet and it seems they have detected use. They are making a U and coming right this way."
"Red Alert!" *Powell screamed* "Raise sheilds and ready photon torpedoes. Lock on phasers and fire atwill with full capacity. Cripple the ship then deploy the fighter squadron. The ship will deploy the marines, While we are doing that the fighters will patrol the romulan ship until we come back to board it."
Thank you Mr. Harf,
Helm take us out at maxiam speed
=A= All bridge crew report to the bridge, I want a full staff when we get to the General Richerd out=A=
Yes sir, I will have engieneering get right on it.
Mr Harf bring the Night Walker within 30 meters and extend our warp field around the ship, also Divert all sheilding to compensate the power loss, Understood?
Richerd then get up from the Captains chair
General Newberry I think you should continue with the rest of the precedure if you don't mind, I relinques my seat to you.
A small ship appears 300 kilometers from the USS Lothlorien followed by more un identified ships and then a group of Klingon ships. The small lead ship hails the Lothlorien.
"USS Lothlorien, please follow me and my fleet to your ship which is under attack. I am sending cooridates now......" said an unknown alient on audio only.
The the small ship and there fleet leave the system at speeds clock on sensors above Warp 9.9899.
Aye Sir.
=A= Will Major Keller report to the bridge, I repeat, Major Keller to the bridge now. =A=
"Colonel Powell, this is General Newberry. Cover our ship for the next 5 minutes. We trying to bring some of the primary systems online. I barly have comm unites working now... Static interruptes again..."
(I am acting as I don't know that Colonel Powell is not in charge...)
=A= General Newberry, This is Captain William Richerd of the Lothlorien, We are between you and the attacking Romulans, also it is good to see that you are in one piece, would you like to be beam over? Richerd out. =A=
Captain Richerd puts the PADD on the Colonel's desk and takes one of the empty seats making a small grimice
Sir, permison to speak candidly?
Captain Richerd begins to bark out orders to the bridge crew trying his best not to show his fear of lossing the General
Mr. Harf, fire weapons at will, Helm, evasive manuvers now, also, Ops find the Generals ship now, and if their shields go down, beam them out of there now! I will not let them die, we'll deal with whatever they are doing with the ship later.
" Understood but I was going to ask in theory, if and I think it could, how long would it take for us to return to Dantor at Warp factor 2.5 to Warp factor 3?"
Well, Colonel Powell wanted to see you so It's really he who has the information Sir.
Richerd then gets up from the First Officer's chair so that Major Keller could take the seat.
Richerd then the Helmsmen
You heard them, follow them at best possible speed,
He then turns to Mr. Harf
Lt. Harf, I want you to keep track of that fleet, they may be our only hope on saving the General, Understood?
Richerd then swirvles his chair so he could face the view screen which showed that they had enter warp now that they where out of the planets influence.
The 12 Warbirds left, turn tail and leave the system after losing almost all there ships.
"Captain Richerd, I think it over for the time being. We may need a tow back to Dantor and I will like to be beamed over to the Lothlorien. Admiral Ransom and Colonel Brown are with me and also will need a beam over."
(William, I sending you a pm.)
==^== Nightwalker to Lothlorion Colonel Powel this is Colonel Brown Iam going to take the Nightwalker to that coloney to investgate I will try to stay in contact Nightwalker out.==^==
the the Nightwalker Jumped to Warp
"I used to be a Chief Engineer Officer at one point in my career and know it may work. It has never beentested before with a New Orleans class doing it either. Use the tractor beam and bring the Night Walker to 30 meters from the Lothlorien and extend the warp field to match what is left of the Night Walker. Divert all power from the shielding system to compensate for the increase power loss."
Yes Sir I understand our risk, Its just that I would not like you see you in Romulan hands agian, I saw what they did to the New York crew and that is something I personally don't want to see any of us in. So what are we doing sitting on our tails? let's get to that colony.
*He nods and gives a salut.*
"Alright Colonel. Good luck out there and happy hunting. Science release the Night Walker from our tractor beam and slow to impulse. A situation on a Federation system near the Romulan Coalition needs som Marine attention. I will notify Starfleet command of the situation immediatly. The breifing will occur at 1900 hours tomarrow after the ship is in order."
*He gets up calmly and he heads off to the ready room. He enters and in a quick stride to his desk he activates the small pc and raises Starfleet Command.*
"This is Colonel Mike Powell Commanding Officer on the Uss Lothlorion and I need permission from High Command to engage a Romulan Coalition attack party that has receantly invaded a Federation colony outside the Romulan Coalition territory. All information other then that at this moment is currently unknown and I do beleive it is my duty to protect and serve. What are your orders, Sir."
(OFF: Just a question. Why are marines doing missions like this? Isn't this the job of the naval branch of Starfleet?)
*Colonel Powell enters the bridge and makes a quick announcment.*
"Attention, I am now assuming command of the ship, Colonel Brown you are releived you may return to your own ship. Bring up an intercomm sergeant."
Intercom: "Attention, I have returned and I am now assumig command. I want this ship in ship shape by tomarrow at 1700 Hours. Col. powell out."
*He takes his seat and he looks to Major Keller*
"Major, whats the situation?"
Captain Richerd after disimbarking his Pelican emidataly heads to the bridge, seeing no one so far in comand goes straight to the captains chair and begins to bark out orders
Private Grant, set course to the Night Walker's location maxiam warp, we don't know her shape.
Richerd then opens a con to a ship wide alert.
Alll hands this is Captain William Richerd, for the time being I will be heading this mission to aid General Newberry, we will be going up agianst Romulans so I want everyone at Red Alert and battle station ready at a moment ready. Richerd out
Captain, Starphoenix is giving us the greenlight.
thank you Private grant.
good to see you around Colonel.
==^== Brown to Nightwalker beam me back==^==
==^== Aye sir==^==
*then patrick is beamed to the nightwalker
Coming onto the bridge just after Captain Richerd Call to Arms I took the Tactical position and made my report
Captain Richerd I am Chief Tactical Officer. Tactical shows green. All sheilds and weapons operational sir.
Well sir, unless you wish to abandon the Night Walker in favor of warp speed, I would then say it would take only about an hour and a half, mind you personally I do not want to leave any starfleet vessel dead in space, of course if you have some inguenus way of towing a Defient class vessel in warp please by all means tell me.
==^== Lothlorien we are going on our own power thank you for the lift Nightwalker out meet you back home in 2 weeks==^==
Aye sir, when are we going planet side Sir?
Richerd had gotten up out of the seat was was heading to the turbolift doors.
Very well General... I got a lock on you and beaming you over now. See you soon.
Colonel Brown walk over to Captian Richerd.
Captian full satus report
*Mike grins and speaks loudly.*
"Indeed. We are spending too much time waiting for this bloddy confernace. There arnt many details to begin with so the information i was to give would be useless. lets get to that colony and get rid of those pests. Dismissed."
*Keller enters the bridge and apporachs Cpt. Richards.*
"What is it Captain?"
Well sir, I feel that the Romulan's are stalking us, as well as waiting to attack in the most remote and far flung areas of space, I just feel that we can not afford a repeat of last time where we risked lossing one of us as cammanding officers as POW's Sir
"You are right Mr. Harf about one thing. It will be difficult to slow down. I have got something planned that will rule out that option. Bt the time we reach Dantor, the Night Walker should have partial warp propulsion systems online then. Warp 1.252."
That is how fast I need the Lothlorien to travel for the current time. When both the ships reach the half way point, I will need both ships to start slowly the speeds down. If this doesn't work then, I will have to have the thruster engaged into reversal."
Captain Richerd rings the door chime to Colonel Powells Ready Room reporting for the debriefing early.
Three blue light could be seen on the during the beam in. After the blue lights faded away, Lieutenant General Chris Newberry, Colonel Patrick Brown, and Admiral Richard Ransom was on the bridge of the Lothlorien.
Chris uniform was rip a different areas around the shoulder and he had a few buises and a shoulder injury.
"Captain Richerd, how long will it take to get the Night Walker towed back to Dantor by the Lothlorien and a nice rescue you planned. I am thankful for the help."
"Thank you general, I will see you when I get back."
*He gives a salut and closes the channel. The dor chimes sound and he looks up and twards the door.*
"Enter."
*Keller enters and salutes the presant officers.*
"Sir, major Nathen Keller reporting in."
Captain Richerd jumps to attention
SIR! It will be about three and a half hours time for us to tow back the Night Walker to the Planet Dantur, so looks like we have a little time
First Lt. Morgan then interups the converstation
Sir, the Night Walker is in tracter beam and are now begining our trek home at quarter impulse.
Richerd enter the ready room and salutes Colonel Powell.
Reporting for the debriefing sir, also I have made up my report dealing with the rescue of the Night Walker Sir.
"Granted Captain."
*Powell faces him and raises an eyebrow in curiousity.*
Yes Captain Fireing on the romulans now sir After a little while our weapons penetrate their shields.
Sir I got a shot through sir.
*He returns the salute*
"Welcome major. Come in and sit. We have much to discuss. have you seen Captain Raynor?"
Lothlorien, the Night W<lker and myself are heading back to Dantor. You are clear for this mission. See you when you all return to the planet.
The only thing with that is not getting into warp general, because the thing is that once you have it going at warp speed sir space being a vacume it will continue to go at that speed until there is something to slow it down sir. But What would I know sir I am a Chief Tactical Officer.
"Your concern has been noted and what you are saying is most likely true but this is an occupassional hazard that we are all risking. It is alaso our duty as marines to protect and serve and that colony needs our help. So we are going to answer their distress call and we will be prepaired and ready to expect the unexpected."
Aye aye sir!
Captain Richerd snaps a salute and walks out of the Captains Ready Room and takes first officer chair waiting for Colonel Powell
12 Minutes later
The small fleet drops out of warp 12 minutes latter with weapons systems armed and all ships claoking to come up on the Romulan fleet without detection. Within five minutes, Agent S Vek ship attacks the Romulan War bird that was about to finish off the Night Walker and her crew.
Before attacking, they had to de cloak and bring the plasmic weapons array online.
All the rest of the ships de cloaked and fired at will. Two minutes later, the Lothlorien drop out of warp ......
Richerd nods his head in agreement before issuing orders
Helm you heard the General, engage warp drives now, and when we get halfway follow every single order from General Newberry.
Understood Helm officer McGregor called out having just came on duty to relieve the perviouse Helm officer.
"Lothlorien, we are in operational status. Comm system is now up and running. How close are you to us now?"
"We will be deploying your Companies first hand. Could you send for Major Keller I need to speak with him."
"Excellant, turn in that report and we will begin the breifing as soon as major keller and Captain Raynor report in."
