Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

=/\= Captain the Supplies are finished being transoprted sir. What are your orders. =/\=

"Yes, I did! Meet me at the fighter bay."

Minutes later, Andrea enters the fighter bay, and White enters through another door. She begins to climb into her gleaming Pyro GX, with the callsign "Angel" painted under the canopy in cursive characters. Within moments, the engines are spooled up, and the launch door opens.

"Conn, conn, this is Baker One, requesting launch clearance."

The flight officer responds. "Roger, Baker One. Safe flight."

The Pyro's engines begin spewing a brilliant, eye-scorching white plume of impulse boost exhaust, as the stocky fighter rockets out of the fighter bay, passing through the environment field over the doorway.

OFF: What the Pyro GX looks like:

=/\=Contact the Lothlorien and offer any assistance you can=/\=

Sorry Colonel I didn't mean any offence I was just asking a question.

"On screen, Mr. Wallace."

Yes sir. I'll get on it right away.

Talen, I need you to do a full weapons diagnostic. Try a few test fires and even try to fiind a commet to destroy.

Tom, can you handle the engines? Run full diagnostic of both the impulse and warp engines.

Wallace, since you're the stand in science officer i'll need you to check all of the sensors.

I'll go down to engineering and handle all of the power systems and flow regulators. (OFF: Do we have an engineer??Malcolm can you send me a list of all our officers. Sorry for any inconvenience.)

**Others acknowledge the plan and Lollock head toward the turbo lift**

Main Engineering.

**Steps out of the turbo lift and enters main engineering. She is in aw by the true complexity of her surroundings.**

{I was a security officer, why did i assign myself to do this. Owell i'm a First Officer. I should be able to do it sll to some degree}

**Heads for a console and begins to work.**

=^= Avalon Station to U.S.S. Tiberon =^=
This is a secure channel. We believe that we may soon be under attack from a large fleet of the Loxian Government. We will require your assistance to limit damage and casualties to a minimum. Please set immediate course to Avalon Station, near the Expansion Nebula.
=^= Vorak out =^=

Aye Captain. Coming up on screen was a distoyed base. Captain there is a starfleet energy signature down there.

Should I hail the USS Lothlorien sir.

OOC: Could someone else do this as I already have two memebers and two other division members over there thank you.

(OFF: Closing topic...)

"Yes, Lets...., oh and gather a few engineers and supplies so that we may help them where needed..."

*enters the bridge*

"Ahh, we've arrived..."

(OFF: Basically, we're just going to StarPhoenix to help with the rebuild of the planetary base. Not a real hard mission, and great to get it up and running again.)

OFF: Hmm...those Na'jigat dissappear real quick, don't they? *smirks*

Alexia steps onto the bridge, stepping down onto the main platform, she gives Karelia some more sarcastic humor she's known for.

"Oh, nearly 0700 hours, Sir. If you don't disembark within.."

*Checks her wrist watch*

"...seventeen minutes, I'll have to report you to high authority for failure in duty."

She smiles innocently as she seats herself next to him.

"I've never been to Avalon."

OFF: KHa'Var is the wife of flag admiral Vorak.  The Vor'Cha Kahless is the ship of KHa'Var.  Also the first post I made in here is not a transmission, it is just to let everyone know what is going on (as there is no forum for the Vor'Cha Kahless).

Okay.  Have the Chief engineer ready all the shuttles in case the transporters are overloaded.

Doctor Wallace, since this a resupply mission, I feel that your expertise may also be needed, there could be injured officers when we arrive.

OFF: I am not totally aware of how this mission is supposed to turn out and have not read all the briefs for it. So I dont exactly understand our mission, But I will try to lead us in the right direction.

(Edited by Berik at 1:02 pm on Feb. 13, 2005)

Still catching up on briefings, Captain Berik comes out of the turbolift carrying a few padds reading as much as he can of his new mission

Looking up at the crew he sees his new XO formerly the Captain of this fine vessel. "Good Morning Commander" He greets him with some excitement.

The rest of the crew seemed nervous but confident at the same time, he gave the new crew a look of confidence and a reassuring nod.

"Are we almost ready to depart, Commander?"
He says while checking his ships roster.

Hello Captain, it's nice to finally meet you. My name is Commander Tara Lollock and i will be taking over as the ships XO.

I came on to the bridge shortly after the new Captain hello Captain Berik I am noramlly just the doctor but being a little light on crew I have taken a couple of shift as Science officer as well sir.

*On board the Loxian flagship, the Prime Commander is looking at the viewscreen, as his ship is firing immediately upon the station.*
"Soon, this will be over, and Loxius will be the primary power of this sector again!"
*Suddenly, their weapons stop firing at the station. The Prime Commander turns around to look at his tactical officer.*
"Why did you cease fire! We've got a perfect opening now! Fire weapons, NOW!"
Tactical officer: "Sir, I'm being locked out of my panel. I can't access any system any more!"
"WHAT?"
Computer: "Auto-destruct sequence has been initiated. Countdown 5 minutes."
"WHAT?!?"
*The Prime Commander slams his fist on the chair arm.*
"Someone is tampering with our system! Get control back of the ship, NOW!"
*Suddenly, the Loxian flagship comes about to face its own smaller Loxian fighter ships, and opens fire... Instantly, 6 smaller fighters are destroyed. Next, a salvo of torpedoes is launched, destroying 4 more Loxian ships. No firepower is directed anywhere near the Starfleet vessels.*
Tactical officer: "Sir, we're destroying 10 of our own ships, and there's no way I can get access to any system at all... engines, weapons, shields... Not even the auto-destruct sequence!"
*The Prime Commander furiously gets up from his chair, pushes the tactical officer aside, and attempts to take control over the panel himself. But he too, is being locked out no matter what. At that moment, the flagship fires another salvo of torpedoes as well as disrupter fire, destroying 12 more ships.*
Computer: "Four minutes to auto-destruct."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

OFF: In-character you don't know what is going on, but basically what happened is that the Skytoucher took control back over its own ship, as well as over the flagship.

Karelia overhears Novalien's comm message.

"Take energy from all non-essential systems instead. We need engines, weapons, and shields at their best. And if absolutely necessary, I'm willing to jettison the supplies to protect the ship."

"With pleasure, Captain."

Tom takes the helm from the officer who had been dismissed moments earlier, and begins plotting a course to Dantor.

From the Observation Deck of Avalon Station's shipyard, several people gather to see the large Akira class ship disengage and enter open space once again.

*Comes out of turbolift running*
Sir... I 've picked up the message in enginerring. I guess the best would be to jetisson it all and pick it later.
*Think a minute*
But ... something we could do it throw the supply's, not the food nor the medicaments, but the heavy construction materials at their ship ... it could do some real damage. If we hit their warpcore, we may destroy it, and some other ships, in one hit. Still, we'd loose the supply... but I, personally, think it's worth it... even more if it only saves the station or some ships even only some lives! They would not expect it either ...

*Work at console for a second.*

*Gives report pad of the modifications needed to do it, to Tom*

... What do you think of it? If we start now, we may have the system ready for the combat.

Right, then i'll go see if i can make some room into the cargo room... just in case. Sir.

*Leave the bridge*

"Indeed, Mr. Wallace. Ops, open a channel to Avalon Station."

=/\= U.S.S. Tiberon to Avalon Station. Requesting clearance to dock. =/\=

*grims about the statictics he read*
Sir, may I sujjest that we get the ship repaired, and the space cleaned of all these debris. Our total attacking power is at 10% ... and I'm not talking about our sheild ...

(OFF: Actually, we're quite a ways from DS12, at Avalon Station, but we'll pretend that's what you said. BTW, sorry for the late reply.)

"Engaging warp... now."

The large vessel streaks into subspace at faster-than-light speeds.

An hour later the Amsterdam arrives at the fight shields and weapns ready.

Message the fleet.

=/\= We here gentlemen. Let us begin the fight.=/\=

A large Excalibur Class pops onto the veiw screens and starts to fire at any loxian ship in range.

*The ares just bairley beats the Flagship to the station, then it does an about face, facing head on with the flagship, the ares aims its weapons towards the flagship and begins to barrad (not sure if correct term) the flagship forcing it to find a different path to avalon...the flag ship still continues to bombard the ares,but the ship holds...*

=^=Ares to all Avalon and the other ships...=^=

=^=this is the ares,we've managed to hold the flagship at the moment, ...we'll be able to hold'em for a while,just finish off the rest=^=

=^=Malcolm out=^=

That was a close call.... a minute more in warp and engines would have blowed up!

Switching all energy to sheild and weapons.
Torpeedoes are ready... so are the tractors and suppy... want me to shut the tractors ?

Yes, Sir.
*Gets to work on the level one weapons diagnostic*
(Off: I'm a Ms. Not a Mr. )

Moments earlier...

"Time to arrival?"

Helmsman: "30 seconds, Captain."

=/\= This is Captain Karelia of the Starship Tiberon. Our ETA is 30 seconds. I hope you didn't start the party without us... =/\=

"Drop out of warp! Tactical, fire at will, fire at will!"

The large Akira Class destroyer spools down it's engines, and drops from subspace, passing mere meters from the heavily damaged Skytoucher. The ship immediately begins opening up all weapons banks on the Loxian ships. Then Karelia sees the Kahless glide in toward the Loxian Flagship, now listing in space. The Klingon battlecruiser hits a Loxian corvette, and the shields repel the smaller ship into a group of similar ones, and the entire area is lit up by a colossal explosion.

"Hail the Kahless."

Officer: "Channel open, sir."

=/\= Kahless, this is Tiberon. We are detecting critical damage all over your ventral section. Do you need assistance? =/\=

That is good to hear.  Take your station Doctor

Alright, Sir.

Are we loading the supply's here or do we get em on the way ?

Deveraux exits the turbolift and salutes Captain Berik.

"Lieutenant Colonel Deveraux, sir. Myself and Major White were assigned here before we left DS12."

More audio:

"Deck 74 is losing integrity! Get civilians away fro.. ....t sectio.."

"We're taking fire! It's th... Sk.....ucher!"

"The Skyto....... .... ...ring on the Ventu..e!"

Karelia slams his communicator.

=/\= Throw more power into the engines! I don't give a #### about safety protocols, just get us going faster! =/\=

"Aye, Captain."

Tom presses the comm button on the command chair's arm after sitting down there. "Angel, I'd like you to break from your patrol for the moment and escort the Captain's shuttle down to the surface."

Yes Captain. I move to sciences, Captain sensors show clear as far as the can see sir.

*On the Kahless, Kha'Var begins to pace.*

"Send in some small fighters after those 8 damaged ships."

"Right away!"

*20 fighters are launched and head for the damaged Loxian vessels.*

"So, they chose to ignore us do they?!  We are not a mere fly to be brushed aside or ignored.  Begin firing on the flagship!  We will scratch their belly with a red poker."

"All weapons are locked and targeted at the ship above us."

"Fire at will!  They will think us weaklings no longer!"

*The Kahless fires a heavy barrage against the underside of the Loxian flag ship.*

"My lady, our weapons  have weakened the shielding.  Their hull is about to be breached."

"The fighters are responding.  All 8 ships have been eliminated.  6 of our fighters are destroyed,  3 severely damaged.  They are requesting further orders."

"Tell them that they fight well, and we will honour their comrades in our memories.  There will be many songs of this battle.  Their orders are to track down any damaged Loxian vessels and disable or destroy them!"

"Transmission sent captain."

*Just then the hull of the Loxian flag ship breaches.*

"Commander!  We are under attack by 30 small Loxian vessels.  What are your orders?"

"Let's lead them on a merry chase through their own lines!  Evasive manoeuvres."

*The Kahless shutters and shakes from several different impacts.*

"Taking evasive action."

*The ship weaves between the lines of the Loxian fleet.  Trying to avoid the enemies weapon fire, the helmsman takes the Kahless closer to the other Loxian ships.  Some of the Loxian vessels are hit by friendly fire, 10 are damaged, 6 are disabled and 12 small ships are destroyed.  On the bridge of the Kahless, panels are exploding and crewmen are tossed about and some are injured or killed.*

"My lady, we are taking some heavy damage.  Hull integrity is failing on 20 decks!"

"Evacuate those decks and revert power from them to the shields and weapons!  Get these dead ones off my bridge!  Helm, take us closer to the Loxian ships!  I don't care if we start bouncing off their shields!  Just do it!"

*Helm takes the ship even closer to the Loxian vessels.  The Kahless gets too close and bounces off the shields of one of the larger ships.  The impact sends the ship careening deeper into the Loxian fleet.  The ship that the Kahless bounced off of is pushed into a group of smaller ships.  There is an explosion as the ships collided, 35 are engulfed in the explosion—no survivors.*

Thank You

(OFF: my appologies)

(OFF: Well, I think we ought to begin.)

Commander Karelia enters the bridge. It was his for a short while, but he was only an acting captain, so he wasn't surprised he had lost it to another. He takes a seat in the rightmost chair.

"Helm, bring fusion cores online and put the engines on standby. I want this ship warmed up by the time the Captain gets to the bridge."

A young crewman, obviously still a little green from the Academy, takes the helm and begins carrying out Tom's orders.

"ETA is 13 hours and 47 minutes, Captain."

OFF: who's that Kahless ?

=/\= Ok, guy, I'm sending you data's with the modifications needed to the tractor beam and to the sheild... you are better to do it fast ! =/\= *transmit the data* =/\= Put everybody you can on it. =/\=

(Edited by Novalien at 6:08 pm on Nov. 14, 2004)

Excuse me Colonel but we haven't been at deep space 12 for a while. where were you during the fight for avalon station.

Very good.

ETA to Dantor, Tom?

Our course puts us close to some dangerous territory, keep the ship at yellow alert for now.

(OFF: Thank You)

Starts to whistle a tune, but unlike the android Data Human imperfection meant that I got it correct well here we go.

(OFF: That's about right...)

"We've already loaded some supplies to support the colony as it's being rebuilt, but we will need to drop by Avalon Station to pick up some of the heavy construction materials. I'm sure the Lancelot and Lothlorien are taking care of most of that, though."

Coming onto the bridge for a quick investigation for injuried Crewmen I see the impact and explosion. Yes Take that Loxians. That shold teach you to take on the might of starfleet. We are peaceful until provocked.

*At a steady speed, the Loxian Government fleet sets course toward the location of Avalon Station, unaware of the Klingon battleship hiding in their ion wake. On board the flagship, the largest of all, many Loxian officers are busily preparing for battle, as the Loxian Prime Commander stands on the bridge, waiting...*
Officer: "Prime Commander, we are arriving at Avalon Station!"
Prime Commander: "Put it on screen!"
*The viewscreen shows Avalon Station, in orbit around a planet nearby the vast Expansion Nebula.*
Prime Commander: "So the signals from the device of our spy did not lie. This is where our people are being held, no doubt! Kowan, Vakin, Varnek... We must find them, and silence them! Enough damage has been done, and it is time to avenge it! Signal all ships to drop out of warp!"
Officer: "Yes, prime commander!"
*In an instant, a large fleet of various different ships comes to full stop in front of Avalon Station...*
Prime Commander: "So it has come to it at last! Scan their defences!"
Officer: "The station's weapon and defence systems are armed and targetted, sir! Apart from the station, I can only scan one ship, right in front of it."
Prime Commander: "One ship, and one station... that's all? This will not be a long battle! Signal to the first squadron to line up in front of the station and their pity ship!"
Officer: "Aye, sir! Sending orders now!"
*Instantly, several smaller but still powerful ships form a line in front of the flagship, facing Avalon Station and the U.S.S. Venture. On board the bridge, the Prime Commander keeps looking at the viewscreen, when his second-in-command approaches him.*
"Prime Commander, may I remind you that we emptied the entire army system of Loxius, for just this cause alone? We could have handled it with far less ships, without having to leave our homeworld vulnerable."
Prime Commander: "Vulnerable for what? The Loxian Exiles? They are scared, hiding in that Cardassian station! But when we were there last, we fought a wary battle, with an entire fleet against only two of their ships, and their Cardassian station. Still we lost! And why? I'll tell you why! I have no idea why! They must have unleashed some weapon that just 'ate' our ships alive, something of a power cloud, I have no idea what it is. No, I will not make the same mistake twice, I will not underestamate them again. These Starfleet people are tricky, but this time I am prepared for them, and I will not return to Loxius until they are utterly crushed, so that there will not be spoken of them in the Delta Quadrant again! Is that understood?"
*The second-in-command nods and steps back, as another officer announces that the first squadron is ready at the frontline.*
"Good, very good. Signal all ships to open fire at my command! Three... two... one... FIRE!"
*Instantly, the frontline ships open fire at the Venture and Avalon Station. The battle has begun...*

Have all supplies been accounted for?

*an intrepid class ship drops out of warp and manuvers itself to the rear of the loxian ships, unloading shots upon them, catching 'em in the rear...*

=^=This is Commander Malcolm of the Ares, thought you 'd might need more help...=^=

*the Ares's weapons continues to pound the loxian fleet.*

OFF:I was told that i could "play" the others characters threw mine. hope i did it right. I apologize if its an inconvienience.

(OFF: Sure.)

"Yes, open a channel."

The viewscreen makes a slight chiming noice to indicate an open communication channel.

"This is Commander Tom Karelia of the Starship Tiberon. Are you in need of assistance?"

=^= Avalon Station to battle fleet =^=
This is flag admiral Vorak speaking. The Loxian fleet is now only 12 minutes away from the station. Their fleet consists 200 ships, of which some are as large or even larger then our own starships. Their strength is more then anticipated, so we will have to use strategy to win this battle. Avalon Station has raised its shields, and no beaming in or out can take place as of this moment. U.S.S. Skytoucher, I am aware that captain Skon is still on board the station, but there is no time now. Commander Rasmain will temporarily assume command of the ship. The Skytoucher will, together with the U.S.S. Rivendell, withdraw into the Expansion Nebula as discussed at the briefing. You will form the element of surprise. The U.S.S. Venture will stand ready at the frontline before the station. When the Tiberon arrives, it can take the rear of the Loxian fleet. When the Skytoucher and Rivendell appear out of the nebula, they can take either side of the Loxian fleet, at which point we will have surrounded them. Proceed to your positions, and... good luck.
=^= Vorak out =^=

(OFF: Just pretend you were here the whole time.)

Notify Avalon station of our departure and engage at warp 4 to Dantor.

OFF: Sorry for my lateness.

OFF2: I will be away on Friday afternoon till monday just to let you guys know.

There is now a new topic, mission 3[or whichever # we're on]...

Major White was on the Tiberon for the last few hours with his Commanding Officer Lt. Colonel Andrea Deveraux. After coming aboard, I left the shuttle bay where our fighters where and followed her down the the corridor and then went my way to the mess hall.

Yes Captain. Materials are ready to start transporting when you are sir.

Are we to go fight with the cargo bay full, sir ?
I'm worried of that, there are some dangerous substances, if not explosives, in the supply's we were say'd to get to the Dantor base. If a direct hit-hit it we may all blow. And I don't know if I can get some more power to make another sheilding for the cargo bay. ... Wait I got an idea, witch would make us less effective, but could provide more power. May I try it, captn ?

=/\= Alright guy's, get moving. We need an extanded sheilding for the cargo bay's containing the supply's and we need it A.S.A.P. Take 10% of the teleporters,  engines, scanners, sheilds and weapons system to feed the extra sheild buffer. Anyway, you all know how it work's... Do It Fast! =/\=

"Increase speed! Get right under their ship and let them have it! We cannot let them attack the station!"

"Helm, set course for Avalon Station, maximum warp!"

Yes Captian. eta to Dantor sir is now five hours and Sensors show clear all the way sir.  We are an hour outside communications sir.

Karelia smiles.

"Alright, you do that, but you are one second late for a duty shift, you'll get to help the loading crews inventory the cargo bay. And if you've never seen the cargo bay before, its pretty big... Anyway, helm, set course for Avalon Station, warp 4."

*a shuttle makes its way down to the planet*

*a few minutes later it lands on the planet, at a spot where the reconstruction effort is full bore*

An ensign walks up to Karelia with bad news.

Ensign: "Sir, the cargo holds are filled to capacity, and we only are carrying 60% of what Starphoenix has requested."

Karelia: "Thank you, Ensign."

Karelia presses a comm button on his armchair.

=/\= Captain Karelia to the U.S.S. Ares. We could use some help carrying supplies to stock the reconstruction of the StarPhoenix base on Dantor. Our holds are full, and we could use any help you could render. Karelia out. =/\=

Aye Captain.

=/\= Uss Tiberon to Avalon We are ready to depart. =/\=

=/\= Acknowleged Tiberon you may depart when ready. =/\=

(Edited by William Wallace at 1:35 pm on Feb. 9, 2005)

Captn, what's the nature of the mission?

OFF: How do you [karelia] want to have me join, just join, or say i arrived by shuttle...

"Our mission is to help resupply the new StarPhoenix base."

"Aye, Captain, everything is prepped and ready to go. I'm sure the Lothlorien is waiting for us at Dantor."

Yes Captain. There seems to be a couple of small parties sir. They seem have a home area in the old hanger sir.  They have been recieving supplies for a while from the three ships in orbit sir.

"All right, Mr. Karelia, you have the bridge until i return..."

*pauses to look around*

"You all*pointing to the team that was gathered*, come with me"

*heads to shuttle bay and heads to where the main reconstruction effort is*

Yes Captain we had them onboard when we joined the fight to save Avalon sir.

Watching the scensors I finally give the call taht the captain and crew are waiting here. Captain Dantor is in communication range sir. I read three Ships. They are the Uss Lothlorien and the Uss Amsterdam and a ship that doesn't seem to be on the starfleet register Captain, but it seems to be in friendly chatter with the other two sir and it has starfleet crew on board and on the ground sir.

"Diagnostic complete, Commander. All the engines are in perfect condition, short of a manual spit shine. We could use some more deuterium, though. We're running low."

Captain Karelia enters the bridge and sits in his new seat.

=/\= All hands, report to your stations. =/\=

(OFF: I had a little miscommunication with the Admirals at HQ, apparantly this mission was supposed to come first.)

Engineering's here ! 109% from nominal: ready to go, sir !

OFF: can we go a little *unformal* ?

(OFF: Sorry for the late reply. You know, I've been saying that a lot lately. Anyway, my computer was getting it's OS upgraded, but it was taking too long, so I yanked it back out.)

"We've still got a full hold of supplies for the new StarPhoenix base."

Cargo bay are nice n clean ... for me anyway... we're all set and ready to go !

"I was in Engineering, helping out the overstreched engineers there. Mind yourself, Commander. You may be Navy, but I still outrank you."

i'll be gouing to enginerring to supervise the sheild.
*Runs 'off to the turbolift*

She pats him on the back.

"Relax, I'm just pickin' on you."

Deveraux  moves over to the Tactical console for the time being.

*The Loxian flagship continues firing upon its own Loxian ships. One by one, they are disabled or destroyed... The Prime Commander looks at the viewscreen in despair.*¨
"Has anyone been able to regain control over their station yet? ANYONE?"
*But everyone answers negative. There seems to be no way to regain control over the ship.*
Computer: "Two minutes to auto-destruct."
*The Prime Commander cries out in rage.*
"It must have been the Loxian spy device on that ship! SOMEONE must have decided to use it against us, and betrayed us!"
*While out in space, more and more Loxian ships get destroyed, if not by the flagship then by Starfleet, the Prime Commander's second in command approaches him.*
"Sir, we must abandon the ship. It is going to explode in less then two minutes, and if we remain here we will all be killed. It is impossible to regain control over the ship in less time than that."
*The Prime Commander sighs in defeat.*
"You are right... How many ships of us are left intact?"
*Another officer pushes some buttons on his panel.*
"Umm... only 12... no, make that 11... No, just 10 now... In fact..."
*The Prime Commander stops him.*
"I get the idea! We're lost! The entire Loxian fleet is destroyed, and all we can do is save ourselves and limp back home!"
*Then he turns to his second in command.*
"Find the Loxian ship in the best shape available still. We will beam over there and make our escape."
*The second-in-command nods, pushes some buttons and locates one of the ships.*
"The one over there in the rear wing, sir. It is one of the few ships left sustaining minimum damage. Shall I announce the other ships to retreat as well?"
*The Prime Commander gives him a stern look.*
"No! They will not know of our escape. They will continue fighting to the death!"
"But..."
"THAT is my decision!"
Computer: "One minute to auto-destruct."
"We're running out of time, we have to go!"
*Suddenly, some of the other bridge officers jump up.*
"Sir, aren't we to come with you and beam over to that one Loxian fighter?"
*The Prime Commander looks around with a grim smile.*
"There just isn't enough space on one fighter, for all the people on this ship. But you will have the honour to die in the line of duty to your Loxian Government."
*The officers want to jump up in protest, but the Prime Commander swiftly takes his disrupter weapon, and fires upon them. Then he nods at his second-in-command.*
"Time to go now, there's nothing left here for us, but the taste of defeat."
*They leave the bridge and head to the transporter room. Soon thereafter, they beam over to the Loxian fighter... As the battle goes on in space, the flagship destroying the last remaining Loxian fighters, one of the fighters retreats and goes to warp, back to the Loxian homeworld, but everyone else is too busy with the battle to notice it. The last surviving Loxian ships fire in despair on the Starfleet vessels, but they are now hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned... And then the final moment happens... The Loxian flagship violently explodes, destroying two more Loxian fighters in the shockwave, and space is filled with debris. Only two small and heavily damaged Loxian fighters remain... facing the fleet of Starfleet ships in a much better shape... There is no winning this battle, and the two Loxian fighters soon realise this... Instead of fighting on against their enemy, they admit in defeat and set course toward each other... In a matter of moments, they collide with each other and both explode... Only debris is left, no Loxians survivors... An entire fleet is obliterated, thousands of Loxians are killed. But the battle is over...*

OFF: don't go after the one escaped Loxian fighter, the idea is that nobody noticed it... They won't form a threat any more anyway, but they need to be able to return to their homeworld for another different, future storyline.

U.S.S. Tiberon:
CO: Malcolm
XO: Tara Lollock
CSO/CMO: William Wallace
CTO: Talon
Helmsman: Tom Karelia

--This is the roster as far as i know...

Berik clasped his hands and rubbed them a little

"Excellent, Tom plot a course to Planet Dantor.

Mr. Wallace keep an eye on those sensors"

=/\= Captain not trying to tell you your job sir but I would contact the Uss Lothlorien sir. =/\=

Welcome both of you. We are currently at Dantor. Where Star Phoenix Division's Base used to be. Unfortunatley, certain incidents happened and the base was destroyed,we are helping with the rebuild, but it has been currently postponed. If you would both run a thourough diagnostic of the Tiberon, i would appreciate that. Also, when you are finished mr. Talon, you may take some time off and relax. And Ms. Lollock when you are finished, i would like you to meet me in my Office."

OFF: take some time doing these things...ok  

OOC: OPPS I forgot I got reassigned here sorry for my lateness.

=/\= Medical Bay is well Stock sir we got 110% of what Starphoenix need Captain and everything tucked away sir. =/\=

Tom shifts in his chair anxiously, worried about the battle. "Put Starfleet frequency 2795 on the speaker." he says.

The audio starts pouring in:

(explosion) "EPS conduits are rupturing!"

"Port ventral phaser array is out!"

"Shields at 61 percent!"

(Edited by Tom Karelia at 5:50 pm on Nov. 14, 2004)

*The Vor'Cha Kahless was monitoring the Loxian's communications.  When the order to open fire was given, KHa'Var was ready.*

"Open fire on all near by Loxian ships!"

"Opening fire, several ships have been hit captain."

*The Vor'Cha Kahless fires upon 10 different Loxian ships from under the Flagship.  2 of the ships are disabled by direct hits to their warp generators.  The other ships have damage ranging from major to minor damage.*

*The Kahless receives an incoming hail from the Tiberon.*

=^= This is the Kahless, captain KHa'Var here. *Explosions are heard in the background, an officer screams a death scream.*  We do not require assistance at the moment.  *There are a few more explosions heard and  the sound of bodies hitting the deck or walls.*  This ship has seen worse and survived.  Kahless out=^=

*Then the ship bounces off another ship's shields.  Shortly after there is a large explosion, the Kahless ricocheted deeper into the safety of the enemy lines.  Marginally escaping the explosion.*

OFF: by my calculations there are about 88 fully operational Loxian vessels in total, including the 2 very large ships.  There are about 12 ships damaged (including the flagship).  22 of the ships are disabled.

YES, BOSS!

*tapes command on the console*-at terrific speed-

Sir, i've put ALL power I could find into engine, without it blowing ... we are just gonna be defenceless and harmless for about 5 seconds after arriving ... You wanted speed, you have it, now

*think: so close to the speed record ... too bad*

"Perhaps we should take a shuttle down to help out?"

Lt. Commander Talen reporting in, Sir. I'm the new Cheif Tactical Officer. Your orders, Sir?

*The Loxian Prime Commander stands at the bridge, looking on the viewscreen at how the battle is progressing. Ships are firing and being fired upon all around his flagship, but it is clear that the Starfleet ships are suffering most damage. They are hopelessly outnumbered. The Prime Commander turns to his second-in-command.*
"Behold this battle. This is why we, the Loxian Government, are great, and people like Starfleet or the Loxian Exiles, are weak."
*At that moment, another officer informs the Prime Commander of an incoming hail from Avalon Station, stating that they want to know why the Loxians attack them, and that they prefer to talk instead of fight. The Prime Commander laughs.*
"Weaklings, that's what they are! Trying to get away with excuses of not knowing why we are attacking them. Open a channel to Avalon Station!"
*The other officer pushes some buttons.*
"Channel open, sir."
"Avalon Station, this is the Prime Commander of the Loxian Government fleet. We did not come all the way here with our fleet, spending our energy resources to fuel our ships and feed our men, just to talk to you! You know why we are here. You have captured some of our men, and we will not accept such an insult. For this insult, you will pay and suffer dearly. There is nothing to be talked about, except perhaps about how we will utterly wipe out your entire existance in the Delta Quadrant! Prepare to be destroyed!"
*Then he cuts the transmission. At that moment, the officer points his attention to the viewscreen, displaying the appearance of the U.S.S. Skytoucher.*
"Sensor readings match perfectly, sir! It is the ship that sent us the information from our spying device."
*The Prime Commander smiles.*
"Good, very good. They will be in for a surprise, when they find out how advanced our technology really is! Do you have the access codes of the Skytoucher?"
*The officer checks his panel.*
"I have them all right here, sir. All access codes of the ship as provided by the device. We can take full control over their ship at any time."
"Good. DO IT!"
*At that moment, the Skytoucher suddenly stops firing at Loxian ships, but remains hanging in space... The crew aboard the ship discovers that they are being locked out of all computer panels, no longer able to control any system of the ship.*
"Control of the ship has been tranferred to our ship, sir."
"Good. Now transmit orders to the ship's main computer, to come about and attack their own Starfleet ships instead! And set a self-destruct countdown for 10 minutes!"
*The officer puts the commands into his computer panel.*
"Aye sir, the ship is responding!"
*The Prime Commander turns back to the viewscreen, and sees how the Skytoucher opens fire on the U.S.S. Venture and U.S.S. Rivendell. Aboard the Skytoucher, the crew is entirely obvlious of what just happened, and hear a 10 minutes countdown of the ship's self-destruct sequence...*

=/\= Tom, the sheild is barely strong enough to hold back a high intensity phaser shot... But we could boost it with, if it's not needed, the emergency life support system energy, witch would make it good enough for, MAYBE, a big maximum of a direct torpeedo hit ... and we could still change the power management ... what do you think? I'll put any extra power I can get from the warpcore, too. =/\=
=/\= Novalien Out =/\=

*The prime commander stood at the bridge of the flagship and looked with disgust at the viewscreen, displaying the battle. Another officer approaches him.*
"Sir, the battle is not progressing exactly as planned. Half our fleet is disabled or destroyed, and this ship had suffered some damage too. Starfleet has apparently received some reinforcements of other ships."
Prime Commander: "Then repair the damage to our ship! Those ships that were destroyed, suffered this fate because they were obviously too weak! It is only what they deserved! We still have 88 operational ships, which is far more then what Starfleet has come up with."
"But prime commander, their ships are..."
Prime Commander: "I don't want to hear it! Activate the ship's engines, we're pushing through the lines to attack Avalon Station itself! Prepare teams to board the station. If we can criple their station, where their attacks are apparently being coordinated from, then they will be in chaos."
"But sir..."
Prime Commander: "DO IT!"
"Yes sir..."
*The large flagship begins moving closer to Avalon Station.*

"That's a possibility."

The message from the Kahless comes through. Karelia taps his badge.

=/\= Engineering! We need more speed! =/\=

*With the battle displayed on the Ares view screen commander malcolm notices the main ship heading towards avalon*

=^=This is Commander Malcolm of the Ares, The main Loxian ship is trying to make a direct assault on Avalon...=^=

*thinking quickley the commander orders an increase in speed,trying to beat the ship to the station, it focuses all of its firepower on it*

OOC: Oppps these things happen sometimes.  Changed it here though.

Looks out the window of the mess hall after the Tiberon drops out of warp around Dantro and see's a fighter blow up after being chased by a runabout which was heading back to one of the 4 other ships in orbit.

I tap my commbadge.

=/-\= White to Colonel Deveraux. Did you just see a fighter be tailed by a rubaout and an escort fighter element get blow up and heading back to there ship? =/-\=
