Jeff paced back and forth crossing his arms and holding his chin in thought
"All stations report ready!"
He panned around the room at the crew
"Run diagnostics where needed. And run battle drills."
He sat down again worrying about the station
"Whats our ETA?" As he said that he remembered that his brother was probaly at Avalon Station "Tom, isn't your Brother stationed there?"
Several Gallifreyan cruisers drop from hyperspace, and begin approaching Starbase Avalon. A wide-beam transmission goes out to the Starfleet defense force.
"This is Master Techerakh of the Order of Gallifrey. We have come to defend this outpost from the Na'jigat."
(OFF: There are enemy vessels along with the Na'jigat, weapons serve a purpose now.)
Jeff sat back as the transmission was being played.
"Not a bad idea, shall we give it a try?"
He looked around for someone capable of running things in engineering.
=^= All Federation stations and ships within reach to receive this message =^=
This is Flag Admiral Vorak speaking. We have recently received word that an attack on Avalon Station is impending. The enemy in this case, is the Na'jigat, a species that exist of pure mental energy and thus are unable to be killed by conventional weapons. Also shields are useless. Read more about the Na'jigat, their strength and weakness, in the database at http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....najigat . Thank you.
This is a call for all ships of all divisions, with a request for military assistance to the highest possible degree. Avalon Station is about to be attacked soon, and the impact will be grave. Please send all available ships to Avalon Station. If this station falls, then the position of Starfleet and the Federation in the Delta Quadrant will become unstable.
Any ships arriving at Avalon Station may report their arrival to Avalon Station's Ops here http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....=50;r=1 in Avalon Station Operations > Station Ops > topic "The Battle of Avalon".
=^= Flag Admiral Vorak out =^=
"We'll arrive in 23 minutes."
Tom turns to look at the captain.
"Will's not officially assigned to Avalon, but I doubt he's anywhere but there, unless his resignation already went through. DS12 really shook him up."
Captain I am getting a message from a Commander Baphomet sir she says that she believes that the best defence against the enemy sir is to construct something call a slip drive sir. It looks to be a jump engine sir.
But it could make a negative energy push sir which would annoy the enemy no end sir. And probably give it a rather nasty head ache. Where ever the head is sir.
Jeff sat back hearing the order for battle. It wasn't clear to him exactly what the Tiberon should do, covering fire, or cannon fodder.
"Shields and weapons are pretty much useless.
I would like to improve our chances against them"
"Will, do you think we could improvise our weapons with a form of empathic charge, or an EMP style weapon?"
=A=USS Rivendell to USS Tiberon=A=
"Captain Keach, Lt. Commander Baphomet here, I am transporting the Shift-Drive to your engineering."
A device the size of a small cargo container materialized into the engine room.
"You will need to install the Shift-Drive onto the Warp core and configure the Navigational Deflector Array to emit a 15 second burst of antigravitons, you will also need to replace the INS generators.
"We plan to create a Nullspace void before the Na'Jigat."
=A=Baphomet out=A=
The crew was steadily preparing for the away mission when a very loud and shrill alarm was coming from Ops.
Jeff walked over to Smith's station and watched as a message was being displayed.
Priority command! It was from Avalon.
"Listen up people, we have new orders, forget the away mission." He said with a concerned stare
"Admiral Vorak has ordered us to return to Avalon Station immediately.
Tom lay in a course maximum warp to AS"
"oh, that's too bad."
"I remember how nice DS12 was"
"bring us in formation with the group and hold steady"
"Let Avalon know we are here"
Immense psionic reading can be seen on the scanners of the fleetships. Space looked calm for a moment, but gained a slight violet tint as the Na'jigat clusters moved into the area.
Out of nowhere, a small, golden vessel flies out of warp and right through the Na'jigat, and stops.
The vessel takes up a posture similar to that of the Na'jigat. Suddenly, more vessels of varying class began to arrive in the same manner. One at first, then more. Tens made way to hundreds.
A glow could be seen on many of the vessels as their plasma weaponry warmed up.
A message came through on the subspace radio. "Captain Taurik to the fleet," it said.
"Battlestations."
The Skytoucher came into range at the time, a Hail went to the fleet.
=A= Captain Lurado here, The USS Skytoucher has arrived and is ready to assist in any ways =A=
"On it!"
The Tiberon swung around and streaked into subspace.
Science and medical are running at full effecency Captain we are ready for anything.
Nasty headache eh? Hmm, Mr. Wallace, that would sound like a good move to make.
Right now we are a bit undermanned. We should stay close to the station for a bit.
From there point of view the Tiberon sat almost at the back of the pack. It was not suitably manned for a major battle but in an emergency situation such as this it could do the job for survival's sake.
He looked at the faces of his crew and he knew that they were not ready for battle.
"I'm getting us out of here"
He motioned toward helm and ordered a retreat to Avalon station
=A= Keach to Station Ops=A=
We are falling back, request permission to dock with the station
