U.S.S. Evolution Mission 7: Responding to Skytoucher Distress Signal

[Nick Brooks]

Thankyou, Mr Dalon. Carry on.

[Thomas Jackson]

Shields are holding at 19%, but I don't know how much more they can take.

Looks like the shot that ruptured the hull on deck 6 damaged a primary power conduit. I've rerouted power to a secondary conduit, but we're still going to have some minor bleeding until we can access deck 6.

[Thomas Jackson]

A message comes in from the repair crews.

Repair crew: Ensign Fong reporting, sir. We should have comms restored in 2 hours.

Jackson: Good. Although, I'll be d*mned if I know who we can talk to out here. Other than the Skytoucher.

[Zentox]

=^= Zentox to Jackson =^=
Indeed. May the protection of the Goddess Tazay be with them, in the hour of need.
=^= Zentox out =^=

OFF: I will copy this message in the starphoenix division board, but I will wait a day or two, so we have the time to round up the mission here, and it will be realistic since it would take the message a few hours at least to reach its destiny.

[Randall Sanchez]

"Understood. Now if we could have our helm officer report.... Hmmm maybe our helm officers are injured. Oh well."
*Sanchez sits down behind the helm and navigation console, and presses some buttons.*
"Engaging thrusters.... accelerating speed, setting course... We're heading back into the asteroid field."

OFF: Arwen Connor has resigned from Expansion (again, lost count at how many times by now), and Dalon has apologized for his absence before, due to personal problems. Can Palleon Chastin then please post asap?

[Randall Sanchez]

OFF: sorry for not posting the past few days, things got really busy over here.

*Sanchez sighed as he regarded Dr. Keilah who sat behind his desk in sickbay.*
"Yes, they are transporting Loxian exiles, but what do we know about what is really going on there? The Loxians that abducted you, me and Lt. Marou, were also exiles that lived between the asteroids. I can't trust them."

[Nick Brooks]

Do what you can to temporarily patch it. What is our shield strenth?

[Thomas Jackson]

=A= Repair team to bridge, comms are up, but we can't raise the Skytoucher. Apparently, they're still not receiving signals. Repair team out =A=

=A= Jackson to repair team. Understood. Can we communicate with the Vontak Nor? =A=

=A= Yes sir. =A=

Good. Jackson sends a message to the VN

=A= Evolution to Vontak Nor. Can anyone there hear us? =A=

[Thomas Jackson]

=A= Jackson to Zentox =A=

I don't know who the Goddess Tazay is, but I'm with you. Those poor b*stards on Starphoenix are in for a world of hurt when the Na'jigat get there. I just hope we can figure out a way to defeat them.

=A= Jackson out. =A=

[Kelli Lauren]

"Captain, the best speed I can give you is Warp 4. The warp plasma conduits are still damaged."

[Dalon]

Commander Brooks, sir, I have finished the special navigation program. When implemented it should improve the ship efficiency in the asteroid field by a factor of 32%.

We are now fifteen minutes away from the position of the Skytouchr when it sent it's distress signal.

[Thomas Jackson]

Suddenly, Jackson's board lights up.

Sir, it looks like the Loxian fleet is reforming for another attack.

[Nick Brooks]

Disarm weapons, shutdown all un-necessary systems.

[Thomas Jackson]

Understood, Good luck, sir.

Jackson sends several repair crews to work on the comm system.

Helm, steady as she goes.

[Zentox]

=^= Zentox to Jackson =^=
Defeat the Na'jigat? You'll rather wish to be dead as soon as possible, when the Na'jigat attacks!
