Mission 3: "Time is of the Essence"

[Alexia]

<Still holding her ground, Alexia tried to use her telekinesis to somehow trip the Warmaster up but failed, feeling the full power of him able to resist her was overwhelming, she regained her composure and waited for Techerakh to strike, then she would take advantage of it>

[Kelli Lauren]

Several hours had passed, and the Evolution was still far behind the Heraani fleet. Normally, Kelli was more than willing to work past her shift rotation during crisis situations, but for the bridge crew, this was a waiting game. Waiting until they were close enough to do something... do anything.

Trying her best to put the danger to Earth out of her mind, Kelli allowed the night shift tactical officer into her station and slipped past him, into the turbolift. She keyed the number three on the keypad, and the lift moved two decks downward, opening up to that familiar junction. One left at the intersection, and another left just afterwards, and she was standing in front of the door that read "(03 | LCmdr Lauren, Kelli)". She stepped inside, tossed her uniform's outer jacket onto the chair, and plopped onto the couch.

[Aaron Miller]

"I was just thinking, that in theory turn our shields into a absorbation effect.  Our shields were built to in effect block beam effects from enemy ships from penetrating our hull and literally destroying us.  I was thinking we could use the shields to instead of diverting the enemy fire from us, let it hit us instead, phasors and missles and in thoery absorb that kinetic energy and phasor energy to power up our systems again.  It should take a few minutes to make the modifications but it may be possible.  But its all in thoery and I have no hard evidence that this would work, it may do more harm then good, Sir." Aaron said.

[Durandal]

Durandal, who had been silent until now, manifested his hologram on the pedestal between the command seats. "Commander," he said, "I'm reading a second fleet incoming, approximately nineteen vessels, on an intercept course. I can't get an accurate friend/foe reading, but I do know that sensor relays have been reporting a secondary Heraani fleet on their way here."

[Malcolm]

OFF: I debated on whether or not to be nice. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>  I decided to be nice, however, when I went to type out what i was going to do, apparently, subconsciously I devided something else, because I typed out "drag Lois to the medical bay." Heh, oops.

IC:

Malcolm leans forward and whispers.

"M'am, with all due respect, please don't call me by that name. Most only know that name because they have to; Otherwise I prefer to keep my relationship to a homicidal murderer secret."

He straightens and speaks outloud, "Have we done a secondary sweep of the ship and surrounding areas? I don't mean to tell you to do your job, but I'm sensing some presences, hostile ones. I think we should check, since everything has been chaotic lately"

[Alexia]

<Alexia turned just in time to notice those that Malcolm supposedly took down started to rise again and charged the Malcolm.  Before they could kill him, Alexia used her telekinetic thrust and threw them 20 feet down the corridor, then lept into the midst of them thrusting down as she went slaying 1 instantly, then twirled around her cloak flying in the air to distract him as she impaled him, the 3rd one tried to charge Alexia, but she was ready.  She twirled her Khala into the air and held it upside down she braced the sword between her and her forearm elbow pretty much impaling the soldier as he attempted to attack her from behind>

<She then got up and walked towards Malcolm helping him up onto his feet>

"Cmon, Malcolm.  Best get you some place safe." Alexia said as she covered him from behind as the 2 raced to safe location to drop off her charge.

[The Heraan]

"I've faced Gallifreyan masters before, fool, and killed many of them. You wish to join the ranks of the fallen?"

Ar'Krakh ignited his unique green bracer. "So be it..."

[Spock]

"Understood.  We can maintain warp 9.99 for 2 hours before dropping down to warp 9.75." Spock said as he went to his engineering bridge console.

[Kelli Lauren]

"Aye sir, routing emergency power now. Shields and weapons now at 125%."

[Randall Sanchez]

"Get forcefields on all breaches! Divert all available power to shields and phasers, take it from life support if you have to!"

[Malcolm]

OFF: Gee thanks L, I can't be at two places at once. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

IC:

Malcolm carries Krenn to the medical bay and gets him situated. Running to the bridge he grabs Lois from the floor and gets him to the bay.

Standing on the bridge afterwards he asks around, "Where's the captain?!"

[Malcolm]

He begins to cover her as she does what she needs.

Two Heraan fire blasters, narrowly  missing him. He fires back immediately dropping them both.

[Techerakh]

Techerakh hand drifted toward his khala. He wanted to be ready, but to draw it now would provoke the deadly Heraan, and if he could avoid direct conflict, it would be for the best. "It has not been nearly long enough, warmaster."

[Malcolm]

He enters the bridge and nods at Commander Lauren.

"M'am, I checked sickbay and the other departments without being asked, and everything is set as far as best as I could tell. We'rr fully stocked and ready, no major mechanical problems. Here is a complete status report."

He hands her his PADD.

"Which station did you want me to take, since I don't usually work on the bridge?"

[James Krenn]

James pushed the warp engines up higher as Spock made a few adjustments on his console. "Warp 9.99 Engaged, Captain." James reported. "Timer started at 2 hours. ETA to Sector 001 is 3 hours, 14 minutes."

OFF: I know he turned into a lizard, hence why I said it had not successfully been achieved on record :P lol.
