Skon looks around the bridge.
Status report, all stations.
OFF2: Balkazar, I think Mr. Black was still on the bridge, but that's okay, when Lauren gets down there, you can join her team.
OFF3: Russo, just in case you missed his post, Mr. Cano is trapped on Deck 5 and attempting to dig himself out of a pile of debris -- we don't really know that since we don't have communications restored down to that level, but if you happened to stumble across him during your search...

"Sir, we are recieving a message from the Hideki Mora. The crew are requesting immediate transport off the vessel."
"Welcome Mr Vakin, you are right on time. Please take the Tac/Security console, I can use your help! I would like a full report on all weapons systems and report battle status on all decks! A report on the Loxian Armade is your next task"
At that moment the message of Gul Marcet was received.
=A= Commander Rasmain to Gul Marcet =A=
Since I will not be able to change your thoughts Gul, you may proceed and I will try to give you as much time as I can, trying to stall them should be possible. I should advise you that at a point, Loxians may drop in and activate those defensive systems, so be careful"
=A= Rasmain out =A=
=A= Rasmain to Commander Skon =A=
"Commander Skon, I have taken Command of the USS Skytoucher because Captain Burma decided to take a shuttlecraft and explore the strange readings in the Dark Passage, several hours ago. I had no luck in establishing contact with his shuttle but I am sure that he is still out there. The only problem now is that the bridgecrew is low-staffed, we could use the help from one or two officers from your team. I understand that they will have to travel all the way back from your position towards the infiltrationpoint, but if this is possible it would improve our chances on survival. You should also know that the Loxian Fleet is far superiour then us, even with the station's firepower we will not be strong enough to come out of this alive. This should also be explained to Gul Marcet, we will not be able to avoid a fight but we need a plan. Mr Vakin will sent you an updated report on the Loxian Armada in several minutes, I will try to stall their movement and actions until I receive other orders from you or the Captain."
*Omak launches a Class II Probe*
"The Data should, be coming in shortly."

Lt. can you plot a course around here *points to the map* and here. I doubt that warp is possible through the asteroid field.
"Science stations manned and Ready"
=^= U.S.S. Skytoucher to Loxian people =^=
This is General Zentox speaking. Please do NOT attack the starship that is heading toward your coordinates. I am on board this ship, and these people have proven very worthy, and we all owe our lives to them. I will explain in detail once we meet again in person. I repeat, do NOT fire on the ship that is approaching. Please respond when you receive this message.
=^= Zentox out =^=
Nurse Wynn stands respectfully, head bowed, as the Loxian Representative completes another part of his ceremony. The Doctor rejoins them.
Mr. Zentox, I trust that we are not in danger of attack from the unknown force that attacked this colony previous?
and Skon feel free to take anyone with you that you feel would be best suited for the team.
OFF: so long Zax we will miss your interesting posts
*Burma looked around and had a thought*
Zentox, do you have any clue of a possible gateway or maybe a door to another time and space in the asteroid field? On our last voyage through this area we encountered a strange phenomenon. At first I thought it was just a figmant of my imagination but it turns out it had an effect on our Doctor.
OFF: ok now everyone's back on the ship, so the ship can get going on to Vontak Nor
(Edited by Zentox at 5:40 pm on Jan. 20, 2004)
In the tired state in which Cano is in he thinks that he hears some movement of a search party near by, though he is unable to tell which direction the noise is sounding from. However, he starts to make a little noise himself to see if they would hear him and then be on there why to check out where the banging was coming from.
Mr. Zentox, would you like to send someone down to sickbay to give the death rights?
=A= Thank you Doctor I look forward to reading it =A=
Mr. Cimm, increase to warp 4, what is our ETA?
OFF: we are going to Vontak nor?
Marcet leaves sickbay and heads to a turbolift. He ordered it to move to the bridge and after arrival he stepped out. On the viewscreen he could see Vontak Nor, still in top shape.
"Captain Burma, you will not receive any answer. The station comms-array must be down and our agent aboard will not respond to unidentified spacecrafts. I would suggest to send in an away-team, so that we can revive the Stations main systems and allow engineering teams to transport down to repair and activate other systems. We left the station intact but there are, ofcourse, defensive systems active which have been given the task to terminate alien-infiltrants. I know the codes to switch off these systems and give a green light to your engineering officers. "
"Tom, whats your situation?"
"Right now we are trying to get Communications. But i can work with that. If you have a full team then i think main power is something for you. "
OFF: Qrell, there's no way you could possibly know how the Doctor is behaving from here. We need to keep the missions plausible.

Meanwhile, a hazy, purple tendril snakes through the bulkhead behind Skon. He doesn't see it, but it's coming right for him...
OFF: Finally! Could someone on the bridge please help me?
(Edited by Skon at 7:58 pm on April 3, 2004)
Acknowledged. We will be with you shortly, General.
=A= Skon out =A=
Helm, initiate docking procedures.
Soon, the Skytoucher has docked with Vontak Nor
Mr. Lupin, begin transporting the Loxian supplies. General Zayan, I believe you will want to lead your people to their new home. We can begin offloading them at any time.
Hello, Q. Would you mind explaining what, exactly, you are you doing on my bridge?
Mr. Rasmain, Mr. Cano, Mr. Balkazar, phasers on stun.
(Edited by Skon at 10:22 pm on July 8, 2004)
OFF: to refresh your memory, Kowan was the captain of the Loxian government ship who had first tried to negotiate with Burma, and then finally was captured and carried to Avalon Station. He is, in fact, currently held prisoner on Avalon Station still, but the Loxian Government doesn't know this, and assumes that the Skytoucher still carries him aboard, which is why they come all the way here to retaliate and free Kowan, though he isn't here. To read the revealing facts that went on while you all thought the Loxian Government was asleep, read this please:
http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....topic=2
I hit my com badge hoping I could get through to the Dr.
-A- LTJG Russo to Sickbay -A-
"I have more casualties here on the 6th Deck. I am going to need more stretchers and stretcher bearers if you can spare any extra crew members.
-A- Ltjg Russo out -A- End Transmission
We evaluate the crew members and get them prepared for transport to sickbay. I begin walking around the deck and pick up faint life signs, coming from the 5th Deck. I say to myself " Wow, since I have traveled these decks, it looks like they are cut off from the rest of the ship. Internal Structural Damage is severe."
I send a rescure party member up a jeffries tube that leads to the 5th Deck to see if there is a way of getting up there.
I monitor the casualties, til the stretcher bearers get here.
Skon: "Get moving, maybe you can."
Will: "Of course Sir."
Will quickly scurried off.
At that moment a message from Vontak Nor was received.
//Gul Marcet to Commander Skon //
Good to hear from you Commander, the Skytoucher is still in one piece I see. Vontak Nor is holding it's plates together, but if I can't get the back-up generators online we will not be much help any longer. I would advise......*connection lost*
"Commander, the next fleet of Loxian battleships is entering visualrange"
"On screen!" Skon yells above the crying sounds from all different kinds of sensors. A large fleet of Loxian battleships was to be seen, and every officer on the bridge stood still.
"Is this the moment were we overcharge our phasers and torpedo's Sir? And give them a lesson, "do not mess with Starfleet"?" Rasmain whispered to Commander Skon, who was standing behind him.
-----------------------------------
OFF: I'll try to be online as much as I can, but these are two crucial weeks for me, exams :S. But don't you exclude me from any action :P, an order from a "action loving" starfleet officer
We read you. We have just restored communications. Your Captain and crew will be beaming back momentarily. Stand by.
=A= Skytoucher out =A=
Captain Sanchez, I believe Mr. Black and his team can handle things from here. And I know you are needed on your own ship. Thank you for your assistance. This ship...and myself...both owe you a large debt of gratitude.
Mr. Balkazar, the brig seems to be back online. Gather a detail and escort your prisoner there.
OFF: Not sure how long the seditive lasts, but if he wakes up, you'll know it...
Good idea, Mr. Nofftz. You have the Conn while the rest of us are on the station. The object in Sickbay should pose no threat at this time, but no one other than authorized personel should be allowed anywhere near it.
OFF: Nofftz, I can't promote you by rank at this point, but you're now the Second Officer. When Rasmain and I are away, you're in charge of the ship.
Will approached Skon.
"They're on there way Cmdr."
Black exits the bridge. Prying the turbolift doors open.
-Ltjg Russo to Doctor-
Doctor, I am sending some injured crewmembers your way, have sickbay prepared for them."
** I take out my tricorder and begin scanning the passageways and jeffries tubes.
Prepare the ship for disembarkment! All stations ready your sections and report in when system is ready.
"Goodday Commander Skon, *Keilah was surprised by the wreckage that was laying all over the floor.* this is not the Skytoucher I remember, did you have a little joy-ride while you should have been working?"
Keilah grabbs his tricorder and scans the bridge for any possible dangers to their health.
"I don't see why not Captain."
Will was happy to see Zentox again.
OFF1: Sorry for my absentance; I've been having some computer and mood problems.
OFF2: Late Congrads to Skon. :biggrin:
=A= Evolution to Skytoucher =A=
Can you read us? Please respond.
=A= Evolution out =A=
Contact the Skytoucher and ask them to send shuttlecraft for those of us who aren't injured. That way, our transporter crews can concentrate on the seriously wounded.
OFF: this is all taking place in the shuttlebay, which is sealed off and the transporters are down. So nobody but Vakin and Zayan know what is really going on here now.
Fascinating.
My future wife, Q? I highly doubt that is possible. The Vulcan female who I was pledged to at an early age was killed during the encounter with the Borg at Wolf359. I doubt I shall be bonded again. As for my falling in love, I would find that proposition highly doubtfull. We Vulcans have learned how to deal with Pon Far, despite the circumstances.
Regardless, you have no right to interfere with this ship or this crew. I demand that you return us to our natural state at once.
(Edited by Skon at 1:58 am on July 10, 2004)
Skon reporting, sir. We have evacuated all of the Loxians from their colony. The crew is preparing accomodations for the refuges. It will be a tight fit, but I think we will be able to make everyone comfortable for the journey. Meanwhile, the asteroid is dangerously unstable, and could explode at any time.
Also, I would like to commend the actions of the away-team members. Thanks to Mr. Robinson's quick thinking, we were able to evacuate the asteroid before it became too unstable. And thanks to the Doctor's work, many Loxian lives have been saved. They are both excellent officers.
OFF: Is Rugal really still on the Hideki Mora? If so, we should either beam him off or tow the ship before we leave. Otherwise, he's going to blow up with the asteroid...
(Edited by Skon at 8:14 pm on Jan. 21, 2004)
=^= Loxian flagship to Qrell =^=
This is the official Loxian Government. You have entered a dispute between our government and Starfleet. I suppose that Starfleet has NOT told you that they are covering criminal and barbarian Loxians aboard their ship! We do not wish to enter any hostilities with the Romulans, and perhaps someday we could discuss an alliance proposal you will find most interesting. Together we stand stronger in the depths of space here. What say you?

"Mr Vakin, how is that report coming. We don't have all day "
OFF: Mr. Russo, keep your eye on the "Engineering" forum...

I open the panel and begin to work on the transporter. I take out my tricorder and my laser tool and start working away. Realizing this could take several hours.
"Well Commander, I still have 1/4 impuls but I am almost flying blind here."
I would be honored, General. But you shall have to familiarize me with the customs of your people when it comes to honoring the dead.
=A= Skon out =A=
=A= Skytoucher to Evolution =A=
Commander Skon, here.
My compliments, Captain Sanchez, and my thanks. We are, indeed "taking a beating" as you humans say. We have only partial main power. The Cardassian station Vontak Nor is also in great distress. We are attempting repairs, but we have at least one intruder on board. There is something else out here besides the Loxians. Be cautious.
=A= Skytoucher out =A=
Understood. What is the status of the weapons?
=A= Bridge out =A=
Mr. Nofftz, Mr. Lupin, it sounds as if Mr. Black could use some help. We can spare one of you, for the time being...
Well, Mr. Rasmain, we have 1/4 impulse. Not exactly ideal circumstances in which to join the battle. What do you think?
Doctor, I am glad that you made it out alive. I would like your thoughts into these strange creatures, since you have had the most experience with them. How much of a threat do they pose to the Skytoucher?
"Engineering's a reck. With no stardock to work on it i can do no good. What's going on here. I've been doing by best to get Communications up. But all i have heard since arrival is Loxians. Are they gone? I have much to know about them or if there is some sort of war with us and them"
Black was ripping off cloth from his uniform and covering some deep cuts on his arm.
off: Sorry for my absence. My final tests took my time and good to say i passed so i can be on almost all the time from now until august.

Black smiles. And returns to work
"I apologize for having to do this against your will, but an outcast of my kind would have caused the death of all manki--I mean, he screwed up badly. Now I'm here to fix it, despite your decision."
*Snapping her finger this time, the entire vessel is sent spinning, travelling millions of lightyears per second, all in the direction of the station. The crew feels the imbalance of the floor, stumbling over eachother and bracing themselves on consoles. Tyn stands unwavered, her hands behind her back, standing tall, staring off as in lost in thought (possibly needing to concentrate to not lose control of the ship). The ship slowly comes to a stop. The crew sighs with relief as they carefully stand back up and untangle themselves with the others. One lieutenant points to the viewing screen near the front of the bridge.*
Lieutenant :"Look! It's Avalon!"
*Smiles down to Skon, now rising from his spill, and salutes him with two fingers before disappearing, possibly never to be seen again.*
This is Commander Skon of the USS Skytoucher. My apologies for not responding sooner, but I was unavoidably detained.
Be that as it may, I would like to point out that if you scan this vessel, you will discover that Kowan is not aboard. Therefore, I could not hand him over to you, even if I were so inclined. As for the Loxian refuges, we rescued them when their home was destroyed and are delivering them to a safe haven. Under the Articles of Interstellar Law, they are under our protection and we will not surrender them.
It is illogical to threaten violence in order to resolve a conflict. Regardless, you should know that if you attack the Skytoucher, it will mark the third time in recent memory that your government has attacked a Starfleet vessel. The first being the kidnapping of Captain Sanchez of the USS Evolution and the second being Kowan's attack on this ship itself. The first two instances might be overlooked as misunderstandings, but I can assure you that if you fire upon us in neutral space, you are risking all-out war with the Federation.
You may possess the firepower to destroy this ship, but I sincerely doubt that you will be so fortunate when the rest of our fleet arrives. On the other hand, we originally came to this area to negotiate a treaty with you and your government. We are still willing to do so. I suggest that you stand down and begin a dialogue before it's too late.

OFF: Cano, at this point, assume you're rescued. You can report to Sickbay if you're injured, or report to the bridge.
Gentlemen, even if the Evolution restores her comms, the chances of sending a message to Starphoenix are very slim. The subspace interference in the Dark Passage makes long-range communications impossible. The only way we were able to communicate with Avalon was by launching a long-range probe with a message attached...

Hey doc mind taking a look at my hand...........One of those darn loxian assassins went and bit me while i was putting shackles on him......I swear they are half loxians and half man eating savages.....
OFF: All away-team members please post in the Sickbay forum to confirm you're on the mission
Sir, we only have half impulse, it will take some time to get between us and the other ship. But i will try to get us there as soon as possible.
Commander Skon, you and Marotek will work on a way to modify the deflector dish and shield grid, I believe there are some extra bodies some where.
Mr. Zentox I would like you to work with Rugal to possibly work on a route that could most safely get us to your destination.
OFF: Zentox: I didn't know what position you held, but yes I do mean you.

The turbolift doors open and Skon and Rhade step onto the bridge. Skon looks toward the security station and sees a Loxian furiously trying to operate the sensors.
Ah, I believe we have you to thank for our...interesting...trip home. Thank you for your assistance.
All stations, report.
OFF: I need to know who's still here, so everyone report in, please.
(Edited by Skon at 9:50 pm on Mar. 9, 2004)
Skon pauses, and looks around at everyone on the bridge.
It has been a pleasure serving with you all. This is a good ship, and you are a good crew. You deserved a better fate than the one I brought you to.
Mr. Black, this device is the one we captured from the Loxian spy. It appears to be a device he used to gain access from our computers and transmit data to his superiors. However, this radiation development is most disturbing. I was hoping that you might be able to shed some light on what -- exactly -- it is.
OFF: It's Loxian technology, but nothing's been established about its true function. Have fun with it...
ON: Skon receives a message from Avalon.
Well, gentlemen, I will leave you to your work. It appears that I am late for my trial. Mr. Nofftz, the bridge is yours until Mr. Rasmain reports.
*Skon leaves the bridge and transports back to the station.*
Good work, Mr. Rasmain. You've held things together here admirably. Please take the helm. Since Mr. Robinson is unable to report for duty, you are our most experienced pilot and we will need you. Assuming the Loxians don't wish to negotiate, which I doubt they will, plot a course of evasive maneuvers that takes us closer to the station. Gul Marcet may be able to assist us.
Mr. Rhade, you have the tactical station. Be ready to fire all weapons on my command.
Mr. Marotek, once the fighting starts, launch the warp-capable probe I requested toward Station Avalon. They need to be updated on the situation.
Mr. Vakin, we need as much information about the fleet as you can give us.

Mr. Balkazar, guard this prisoner. He has been sedated for now, but he could wake up at any time. He is a most dangerous criminal who is responsible for much of this destruction. As soon as we are able, we shall transfer him to the brig, but for now, it is best that he remain here under watchful eyes.

Skon turns to Gul Marcet and General Zentox.
The Skytoucher's shuttles are almost here. We can begin loading the healthy refuges as soon as they arrive. General, please make sure your people are ready to leave. We need to get off this asteroid as soon as possible.
Mr. Robinson, how long will it take you to beam the remaining wounded back to the Skytoucher? We need to move quickly.
Suddenly, the ground shakes slightly. It stops, then trembles again. Skon looks down to confirm his tricorder readings and motions to Zentox, Marcet and Robinson. Skon lowers his voice.
I didn't want to say anything earlier, because I did not want to alarm the civilians, but the alien's attack seems to have structurally weakened this asteroid. I detected a small fault when we arrived, and it is growing. I don't believe we are in immediate danger, but we need to evacuate as soon as possible.
OFF: Wish I had thought of that idea earlier

Thank you, Commander Rasmain, for your assistance. I am transmitting the necessary deflector dish/shield modifications to your repair crews now.
=A= Skon out =A=
Captain, I believe Mr. Marotek was correct. With a few, simple, modifications, we should be able to navigate the asteroid field "blind" with minimal damage to the ship, if that should prove necessary. Thanks to Commander Rasmain's repair crews, I believe we can make the necessary modifications to the main deflector dish and shield array within 24 hours.
OFF: I'm finally back from my holiday and trying to catch up with the story...
(Edited by Skon at 12:32 am on Jan. 4, 2004)

Mr. Balkazar, prepare to tansfer the prisoners to the proper station personel.
Mr. Black, I assume you will want to coordinate repairs with Avalon's engineers. Keep me updated with your progress.
Meanwhile, I need to report to the Admiral.
Mr. Lupin, you have the bridge. Shore leave is recommended for all personel, as long as Mr. Black has enough people available to make repairs.
Mr. Blakazar, let's go.
OFF2: In case anyone doesn't know...shore leave and station-related posts should be made on Avalon (Starfleet HQ in the navigation menu to the left). Things that happen on the ship should still be posted here.
I agree. We cannot afford to underestimate the Loxian Government. In the meantime, Mr. Black informs me that he has restored partial impulse. We hsall assume standard orbit of Vontak Nor momentarily and begin docking procedures on your mark. Your people are almost home.
=A= Skon out =A=
Helm, best speed to Vontak Nor. Assume standard orbit.
Helm officer: Aye
OFF: We're still in the same system as the Vontak Nor, we just moved away from the station during the battle. We can make orbit pretty quickly, even with only 1/4 impulse.
=A= Skon to Russo =A=
Have your teams managed to access the holodeck? We need to gather all of the Loxian refuges together for transport to Vontak Nor.
=A= Skon out =A=
OFF2: I believe that's where most of the Loxian refuges were before the battle started. I think the Doctor also had many in sickbay.

Mr. Cimm, increase to warp 4.5
Zentox, I am glad to hear that we are alone here, well almost.
=^= Zentox to Skon =^=
Since Mr. Burma was not of the Loxian species, it may be more appropriate if his service was done according to the customs of his own people. Our people will be glad to have a memorial still, even if it is a different one.
Why are you in the sickbay ?.....I thought keeping an eye on vernek and also keeping an eye on our visitors in the brig was my department?
*The Doctor fixes up my leg*
*Balkazar to Bridge*
Thanks for the xtra help sir.......I got a parameter up on this deck and around vakin........Doctor arrived to fix my leg........I just wont be running around for anytime soon......But i should be up and around in a few days....
*Balkazar out*
OFF**Still up and walking just not running**
OFF: Just keeping everyone updated with what's going on on Vontak Nor...
Mr. Nofftz, What happened to our shields? I know they were weakened, but those Loxian phasers went through them like they weren't even there.
Also, what was that purple tendrill on the bridge?
OFF: I want that spy...whoever he/she may be Although, everyone remember that we don't know that there's a spy yet...
(Edited by Skon at 8:13 pm on April 6, 2004)
captain, I have boosted the sensor range. all affected systems should now be able to detect cloaked ships. although I did have to reroute energy from life support.
Lieutenant Omak, if you tune to this frequency the sensors can maximize their full potential.
*hands him a padd containing the information about the repairs*
"That feels better."
After taking a quick drink of water, he headed for the bridge.
*Zentox nods at Skon, and presses some buttons on the panel in front of him.*
"Captain, we are now within visual range, we are nearing the colony and outer mining facility. I will put it on screen for you."
*On the main screen of the bridge, appeared a view of colonies built on large asteroids, and small orbiting stations and Loxian ships. It was huge, more than could possibly fit the viewscreen, and in all kind of shapes and forms. It was like a whole city drifting in space on a field of asteroids. But the moment of awe, soon turns into horror... when Zentox magnifies the view, and the screen displays how all those asteroid colonies were in ruin, utterly destroyed... Zentox moves the screen to other areas, and one is even worse than the other. Debris is drifting free in space everywhere, and not only debris... the orbiting space stations have huge holes of destruction, and some have broken apart in several parts even. And as if that is not enough, there are also a number of Loxian ships adrift, dead in the water, or as good as destroyed...*
"In the name of the Goddess Tazay... this... this cannot be! What happened here that can cause such amount of destruction?"
*He quickly taps some buttons on his panel, and then his face turns utterly white, as if he is about to faint. Then he looks up at captain Burma.*
"Captain, according to your ship's sensors, I read 178 Loxian life signs in this entire area."
*He wants to continue to speak, but has to take a deep breath first.*
"There were about 800 Loxians living here, when I was last here, about a week ago."
OFF: the Hideki Mora, Marcet's ship, is drifting around there too, attacked by the same evil (as the Hideki Mora had departed Avalon earlier than the Skytoucher). So now would be a good time for Marcet to contact the Skytoucher and then beam over to Zayan's location as well.
The Skytoucher made its way passing two Loxian Ships and after that it made a sudden turn.
"Sir, I do not know how long I can evade these Loxian Cruisers as there are so many of them and almost all are firing at us"
The Skytoucher passed one more Loxian Cruiser before the ship began to shake again. The Skytoucher was under fire again, but rasmain kept working and tried to evade as many ships and enemy-fire as possible.
ON: Aye Aye Sir. Firing torpedos. (tha bridge takes a direct hit and sparks fly. Phasers have been disabled all we have is torpedos. We just lost port sheilds.
Rasmain jumps up from behind a console and moves towards the Commander
"The Loxian Commander is awaiting a response on our presence here. I did not reply until I had more information about our status. I have just been told that we are unable to contact Avalon Station, because the Dark Passage is interferring with any outgoing signal. There are no further things of importance to tell at this point, I hope I have given you enough information."
" I detect no man made structures with in the
passage." "There is a ship in orbit of the Station." "We
are being scanned."
Damage report, all stations.
OFF: In case anyone didn't know, the Tal Shair have arrived to help us. They've been posting in the "Vontak Nor" forum on the "Expansion Sector" page...

Very good, Mr. Bagget. Do the best you can. These are difficult circumstances.

Helm, lay in a course to Vontak Nor, Warp 2.
Commander Rasmain, raise shields to full strength.
Lieutenant Omak, scan our course for any anomalies.
Helm, Engage.

Ohhh he could be a killer wabbit......HAHAHAHAHAAH im going wabbit huntn....Just let me get me gun and im going WAbbit huntn as Nofftz is the wabbit Muhahahahah
Sir? What do you know of these beings? Is there anything we can do to protect ourselves?
OFF: when are we arriving at Vontak Nor?
Mr. Nofftz, you may resume the Ops position. Continue to let me know casualty updates and damage reports. Try to get repair crews to all critical parts of the ship.
The purple tendril creeps closer and closer to Skon. You'd think one of the bridge crew members would have noticed it by now.
OFF: Someone (other than Rasmain, who can't see the tendril either because it's coming from behind him ans Skon) please warn Skon. Or shoot the thing. Or jump on it and beat it to death ...Also, nice spy idea! This is getting good...
If you approve this plan, I believe General Zentox would make an excellent addition to the away team. Along with myself, from the Skytoucher crew I suggest Mr. Robinson -- at a minimum -- also participate.
Also, Gul Marcet, if you will require technical assistance in getting the station opporational, we should bring along Mr. Omak and perhaps Mr. Marotek as well.
Keep us as close to the Evolution as you can, Mr. Bagget.
Mr. Nofftz, feed any sensor data you can gather to the helm.
"Commander! I'm glad you're back. I've had the most interesting time here these last few hours. Of course, we can discuss it over tea later. In the meantime, is there any way I can help you?"
We are on board and en route to the bridge. In the meantime, if the Dark Passage is interfering with our communications, Mr. Marotek should prepare a warp-capable probe with a message updating our status and launch it for Station Avalon. Even if they cannot assist us, they need to be warned about the Loxian fleet. Once the Loxians realize that Kowan isn't aboard, they may try assaulting the station next.
=A= Skon out =A=
Mr. Omak, you may be correct. I am receiving only vague mental impressions of the aliens, so I cannot be certain. Stay sharp and report any additional sensor data.
Captain, We have sighted Vontak Nor. Shall we assume standard orbit and hail them?
(Edited by Skon at 8:54 pm on Feb. 3, 2004)
*skons hears me snapping my fingers and saying darn*
I shall obey sir
***Balkazar out***
"Well Miss, you should be glad that General Zentox has rescued your from the asteriod, since it is now history. I know it was difficult leaving your homeworld but it is for the best. I also saw what attacked us, I can't erase it from my memory, noone can!. Though, we need to get further, together ...we will prevail.... I am sure"
Marcet stands up
"Please excuse me, I need to talk to the doctor"
Marcet sees the doctor standing with one of the other patients.
"Doctor, what is the condition of Miss Zayan? Is she allowed to move to an own room?"
The Doctor's body starts to dematerialize, but the force of the tendril holds him to the Skytoucher. He seems to phase in and out of reality, pulled like taffy and stretched between here and not here. Suddenly, the Doctor and the tendril are gone, but not where they expected to be...
"Oof! What happened? Cut off in mid-sentence. I could have been saying something important- I WAS SAYING SOMETHING IMPORTANT! Where am I?" The Doctor looks around and sees that he is in Engineering next to the warp core. Of the offending purple tendril he sees no sign, but then, with everyone gone, that isn't his first concern. "Where is everyone? Hello?!"
(In space, a few short meters from the hull of the Romulan flagship, the aforementioned alien tendril seems to swirl in purple agitation. The combined willpower of its victim and the intervention of the transporter beam powered by a singularity (so like its natural enemies' power source) has weakened the intruder. Glowing an angry bright orange, the nebulous force glides quickly toward the Skytoucher... )
Well cmon im heading there now.....
*Balkazar to skon*
Turns out we have a new crewmen and we are both heading to the celtic corner now sir.,...Cya there...
*Skon raises an eyebrow and looks at Black*
Well, that was certainly an interesting experience.
(Edited by Skon at 7:00 pm on July 10, 2004)
"Ok Lieutenant, lets get this pony back to the corral."
The Lieutenant initiated the thrusters; once the shuttle cleared the landing area wreckage, he engaged the impulse engines.
(Computer whirs and beeps)
"Thank you for your help, Ensign. You can return to your duty now. We'll help your friend. I think he's going to be just fine."
(The monitor buzzes and the crewman's life signs fall.)
"Or not... Nurse!" The Doctor hits the offending panel to make sure it's not faulty, a reflex action, as he grabs a cortical stimulator and a tricorder from a nearby tray.
"Nurse, 20hz charge now." The nurse obeys and the crewman's face contorts in pain. "Good. Therozine and an amode blocker." She hands the hypospray to the Doctor and he dials the appropriate medicines and administers them. The lifesigns stabilze. The nurse wipes the crewman's face of blood and places a gauze on it before turning to the next patient. The Doctor also turns to help.
"Let's see if I can still contact someone. The communications array seems to be intact. But gheez, what did they do to my SHIP, she's totally wrecked!But what do I see here, it seems the Skytoucher has arrived at the Colony. "
Marcet tried to send a message but the only message
he could give was audio.
//Gul Marcet to USS Skytoucher//
"I can only send you an audio message, because my ship has sustained major damage. The Hideki Mora and the Loxian Colony have been under attack, I will explain and bring out a full report after a site-to-site transport to the Loxian Colony by your ship.
//Marcet out//
After sending the message he tried to get the internal scanners online, maybe there were other survivors still onboard!
OFF: No offence intended :P, just playing
"Well Sir, I'll tell you when I have this console back online. I can't give any statusreports on the tacticalsystems with this thing down....."
Rasmain stood up and put his frustration in one kick at his console. It suddenly began to flash and Rasmain was able to work with it again.
"See, you just need to show her who's the boss here . Well Commander, the shields are down but can he repaired if the engineers get the shieldgenerators back online. There is just not enough energy to provide us any firepower or shielding, we are lucky to still have life-support. But she will survive Commander Skon, she will "
=A= Skon to Black =A=
Excellent work on repairs, Mr. Black, but I must ask you to "shift gears" for just a moment. The Loxians have asked me to preside over a memorial service for Captain Burma, and I need to know the status of the photon torpedo launchers. If we are to conduct the service properly, we should fire an empty shell casing along his shuttle's last known course. Will we be able to do this?
=A= Skon out =A=
General Zentox, Ms. Zayan: our away team is at your disposal. We will do our best to save as many of your people as we can. Gul Marcet, we shall need your help, as well. Do you have a medical staff that can beam over and help us?
Also, General, it seems as if your people have had prior experience with the beings who attacked this station. Any information you can provide us will help in the evacuation. In the meantime, we will help you search for survivors.
*Balkazar has a grave look on his face*
*Balkazar to Bridge*
We got a slight situation here.....If what this assassin says is true......The Exile General of the Loxian people....Is in grave danger.....Turns out that Someone wants Zentox dead....As well...Other then that hes saying nothing........
Thought you would know
*Balkazar out*
((((((Ill be gone for 2 days so dont miss me all that much at once ))))))))
*turns to Commander Rasmain*
Commander, I want you to give me a report of weapon status. I don't know if the repair teams got all the bugs but I want to make sure the weapons are functional.
OFF: I wasn't thinking it was that small of a ship.
After regrouping, the Loxian fleet reforms attack formations.
Ladies and gentlemen, now is the time. We shall beam directly to the Skytoucher bridge and attempt to repair the ship. I promise you, we are not finished yet.
Prepare to beam out.
General Qrell, although I abhor violence, I wish you "good hunting." We shall rejoin you in the fight as quickly as we can.

okay, so there is no unusual readings and from what we can tell they must have attacked them for a specific reason.
Lieutenant Omak do you think that these unknown beings will return.
*taps his combadge*
=/\= Skytoucher to away team=/\=
how is that transport coming?
Captain, I think I am going to remain on the bridge for the time being. But, first a question sir, is that thing in sickbay something I should be watching on sensors.
<Nofftz Out>
Mr. Vakin, if there are any more of your people on board who have military/tactical experience, we may need them. Especially anyone who may have knowledge of Loxian battleships' defensive capabilities or vulnerabilities. If you can suggest anything, I would appreciate it.
So, we cannot fight them. Perhaps they will become "full" from the Loxians and decide not to prey on such paltry sources of energy as the Skytoucher and the Evolution?
OFF: Cano, no problem. You've got a good idea going on down there. At this point, you can wait for us to (hopefully) get communications back up, or you can figure out a way to escape and join us on the bridge. Your call, but either way it adds to the story.
ON**I got partial communications up........Should i leave the rest up to Lauren and help out the rescue parties or what......
**Waits for a reply from skon in the meantime**
Fiddles around with communications somemore to see if i can get it up to full comms throught the ship......
*Walks to the computor, puts in a course, then walks back to the captain*
We made it when we first arrived here, and I think that it is not more than right that you know about it, if we are to co operate I mean.
*Aboard the flagship, the government representative holds on to his chair ans the ship rocks back and forth under impact.*
"Don't give them a chance to do too much damage! Fire back now and disable their shields first!"
*And the closest Loxian ships open fire on the Skytoucher again, targetting its shield emitters. Meanwhile, the other Loxian ships have fully surrounded Vontak Nor and are running hot their weaponry...*
"Commander, for a Vulcan, I cannot say you practice much logic. You know what I am, yet you arm yourself? Firstly, I am no threat to your vessel or it's crew, I hold no interest in it. Secondly, your phasers hold no effect on me."
*To save the men the trouble of debating whether to let their guard down or not, she ports the mens' phasers from their hands and into the cargo hold of the ship with the flick of a wrist.*
"This vessel has a course laid to Avalon, correct?"
Sorry, sir, it's been kind of stuffy down here, a lot of the decks are in shambles, but have been able to excavate some of the trapped crew members and they have been transported to Sickbay. I believe I have found all of them. Deck 5 is a mess, but I have found Mr. Cano. I am reporting to sickbay for status updates by rescue teams. -A- Russo Out-A-
**I continue to make my way around the ship. I report to sickbay to see if they need any more help. The rescue team begins making Damage Control Repairs to the ships 5 and 6 decks.
**Rescue and Repair Crews report to the bridge with status reports.
-A- Ltjg Russo to Bridge-A-
Sir, the repair crews will be making updates and repair status.
-A- Ltjg Russo out-A-
"I suppose you'd call that the noble thing to do, hide nothing from your crew? Well, I attempted to save you the embarassment, but you're just far too strong-headed, especially for a Vulcan."
*Tyn's face suddenly shifts to a devilish smile. She flicks her wrist once more. The ENTIRE Skytoucher crew is ported from their work stations, their beds, their meals and into the bridge, in a large group surrounding the Captain and herself.*
"Very well Skon. I've been assigned to port you to Avalon on time...well on time as us Q's had originally planned. Sadly, another Q had influenced your previous battle, costing you a couple days, thus making you 'late'. You need to be at Avalon at an exact time or you will not meet your future wife under the circumstances that were originally planned. As you probably know, you have a Ponn Farr scheduled quite soon. You had originally planned to...relieve yourself in a holodeck simulation, but rather....fell in Love...."

Thank you for your assistance, General. We are attempting to disable the Loxian flagship, but there are many others out there. Once again, we appreciate any help you can give us.

Red Alert! Engage transporters and destroy that thing. NOW!
"I am ready to fly through their lines, Sir"
Rasmain showed a display of the Loxian battle-group and he showed Commander Skon his flightplan.
"If they keep this formation, and we are able to fire at the right moment..I can get us out of there safely"
Dunatis takes a deep breath and thinks on the previous situation as he mutters to himself to make note of this incounter.
I agree, Mr. Rasmain. Evasive maneuvers. Get us out of the thick of the fight and be prepared to turn and attack.
Mr. Nofftz, take the tactical station. Fire a spread of torpedoes at those Loxian fighters and then calculate an attack pattern we can use as soon as we get some room to maneuver.
Mr. Lupin, transfer all available power to the shields. Get a damage control team up here to help put out these fires and give me an updated damage report.

"Take it easy, Miss Zayan. You need rest "
OFF: The Hideki Mora can't be put in the shuttlebay. It's as big as the Skytoucher ...can't we tow it? Or something else, maybe letting them follow us at their last powersupply?
"Captain, he's getting away! We don't have time to watch our arses and don't get hurt...we need to run and capture him!"
Keilah stops for a moment and begins to breathe easier. He tried to run past Captain Sanchez, but the Captain pulled him back.
"I'm sorry Captain, but I don't think that there will be any forcefields, tractorbeams or weapons to stop him when he gets on a shuttle. We are the only force that can stop him from leaving this ship...."
Interesting suggestion, Mr. Rasmain. We could send an away tem back to the ship, but it would have to be a small one. Since the Loxian fleet seems to be attempting to capture Loxian exiles, they might not notice a small number of Starfleet personnel beaming back to a "dead" ship. In order for it to work, we'd have to keep the away team numbers limited, but, as Mr. Nofftz has pointed out, we would need adequate protection. At the very least, all of the away personnel should be armed with phasers...
Skon glances over the PADD Rasmain had given him again. He ponders the names for a moment.
Officers for the away team should be as follows: Myself, Mr. Rasmain, Mr. Nofftz, Mr. Lupin, Dr. Dorian.
Mr. Vakin, your gesture is noble, but since the Loxian fleet seems determined to kidnap all exiles, your presence could only jeopardize the mission. If they pick up a Loxian signature on the Skytoucher, it would only alert them to our presence.
General Qrell, I appreciate your timely rescue. You saved many Loxian exiles from capture. But I am afraid that I will have to abandon your ship. I will not give up the Skytoucher unless all is lost. In the meantime, the Loxian fleet is all yours. I believe that we shall be able to repair basic damage to the Skytoucher fairly quickly and rejoin you in the fight. The element of surprise may once again be on our side.
Unless anyone has a serious objection, we shall beam out within the hour.
(Edited by Skon at 11:48 pm on April 11, 2004)
Mr. Vakin, You put forth a noble idea, but you and your people are under our protection, and I will not abandon that responsibility. I will not turn the exiles over to the Loxian fleet, even if we have to destroy this ship. I do not believe it will come to that. I believe we have other options.
Good work, Mr. Nofftz. I now must ask you to abandon your station. Prepare a warp-capable probe. Implant a message informing Station Avalon of our situation and launch the probe as soon as it's ready. [OFF: This might take some time, but be sure to post the "message" here. and make sure it's received by the Avalon.]
Mr. Lupin, while Mr. Nofftz is busy, take the tactical station. We're going to turn and attack. Full phasers and torpedoes on the Loxian flagship at my command.
Mr. Rasmain, prepare to execute attack pattern Omega 3.

Gentlemen, is there a problem?
Skon turns to bridge crew
Good work, Mr. Lupin. Does Mr. Black need any assistance with repairs? If so, take Mr. Russo and lend him a hand. He is extremely shorthanded at the moment.
Mr. Bagget, keep us close to the Evolution and try to keep her between us and the Loxians.
OFF: Bagget, maybe your board is malfunctioning or something, but I can guarentee that warp drive isn't going to be restored anytime soon. The Skytoucher is definitely crippled at this point.
Thank you, Commander, I will keep the item safe. See you later.

The Doctor surreptitiously pats his pocket where the alien artifact is buried below his medical tricorder and a roll of absorbant cotton. He instructs the attending nurses to finish their critical duties and to take a shift off with an emphasis on partying and relaxing.

*Some moments later, the turbolift doors slide open. Before them are a few corridors, and in one corridor some people lay unconscious on the floor.*
"I think I know which way he went. Follow me!"
The Doctor heads for his quarters as fast as he can, but the tendril has followed him. It seems to be taking different forms as it comes down the corridor: first a bear-like being with lobster claws for feet, then a huge demented rabbit with giant fangs, than a goat with the head of a barracuda. Some forms are beyond imagination and each seems more terifying than the last. The creature seems not to care how fast it goes because it knows the Doctor is trapped...

Mr. Lupin, stay sharp. We have reason to believe that there is a spy on board, and I think I know who he is...
Mr. Balkazar, please assist Mr. Black in restoring communications.
Ms. Lauren, I believe Mr. Black and his crew are working on the comms. If your team could work on restoring main power, that might make things proceed more swiftly.
Status report, all stations.
Mr. Bagget, what is our ETA to Avalon?
Mr. Lupin, as soon as we have cleared the asteroid field try to contact the station and inform them of our situation.
Mr. Russo, Mr. Rasmain, please report to Sickbay. The Doctor has found something interesting that I believe you should look at. Mr. Nofftz, you have the bridge. Begin scheduling crewmembers for shore leave. All crew assigned to non-essential duties are invited to the reception in Celtic Corner on the station.
OFF: Starwind, welcome aboard. For the time being, there's the party in Celtic Corner. And you can always volunteer to help Black with repairs. What position have you been assigned to?
"Captain, LTJG Russo reporting in to assist in repairs. Sir, I appologize for the look of my uniform, haven't had the chance to change after my visit to sickbay."
Rhade and Skon make their way into the turbolift. Rhade instructs the lift to head to the Bridge and it whirls away at top-speed
(Edited by Telemachus Rhade at 7:56 pm on Mar. 9, 2004)
=A="Black to bridge, main lighting is online. That should make searches easier"=A=
"I am sorry for my late response Sir, but I was working on several diagnostics. Do you still think that I am needed below decks?"
Mr. Lupin, damage report.
Mr. Rasmain, execute evasive maneuvers. Get us closer to the station so that all of the Loxian ships are in point-blank range.
Mr. Rhade, fire at will.
By my calculations, there are 10 Loxian ships in this fleet, but I do not have accurate data. Given the sensor anomalies in this area, there could be more...

We are approaching your position.

(Edited by Skon at 12:35 am on Mar. 19, 2004)
The Doctor tries his commbadge, but it is still fizzing. Making his way quickly to the nearest turbolift, he heads for Sickbay.
The Doctor enters Sickbay just as the alien tendril phases through the bulkhead from space. It drifts toward the Doctor who quickly runs into his office and snatches up his cat, Wycliff. "Where have you been, puss," he asks. Thankfully, the office has two doors, and the Doctor collects his satchel of personal effects and hastily runs out of the empty Sickbay. Whatever's happening can't be stopped in Sickbay. The Bridge, however, might be useful. First things first, however...
The Doctor stops at a wall panel computer display. "Computer, do you recognise me, the Doctor?"
*Yes, Doctor Smith, how may I assist you?*
"Is there anyone else on the Skytoucher aside from me?"
*Scanning... negative, Doctor Smith, there is no one else aboard the Skytoucher at this time.*
"Where is the Skytoucher? Where is the crew of the Skytoucher?"
*The Skytoucher is currently adrift near Vontak Nor Station in disputed space. The crew is not aboard the Skytoucher.*
'Very helpful,' the Doctor mutters and then says, "Computer, lock all command functions to my psionic pattern as stored in my personal medical file, authorization Doctor (a string of numbers and letters)."
*Done.*
"Computer, do not allow anyone computer access unless I approve in person, understood?"
*I will comply.*
"Good. Now I'm being followed by some sort of energetic purple tendril, do your sensors detect it?"
*Scanning... Negative, Doctor Smith, there is no reading of anoyone else aboard the Skytoucher.*
"Maybe it's in my mind? Maybe it is a mind! Oh yes, I remember a little... a group mind calling to me... yuck! I hate mind control! Computer, send out a distress signal on all communications frequencies. Give our position and current crew compliment and say that immediate assistance is needed."
*Doctor Smith, current space conditions are not suitable for communications. The message will not be able to transmit more than approximately 100 kilometers. Shall I proceed?*
"Yes, yes, do it. And just call me Doctor, please."
(Edited by Doctor at 2:31 am on April 8, 2004)
Hmmm...That seems odd. What type of radiation? Perhaps Mr. Black could help shed some light on the matter. Whatever you do, be careful with that device. If it's emmiting radiation, it could be much more than a communicator...Keep me updated.
=A= Skon out =A=
*Balkazar to security*
Get redy to move our 3 guests when its time

So that was yet another Q we had to meet.....Interesting......I dont think i like Qs who can manipulate the very foundation of space and time....And make you be weaponless.....I dont like that at all......
So shall we get some R&R before we haveta do more?
OFF**Lets just say we are docked with Avalon to save some time ?
"Here you go sir, the ceremony is waiting for the promission to proceed."
(Edited by Jesse Nofftz at 3:22 am on April 1, 2004)
We have no idea how many crewmembers are dead, Mr. Black, but I fear there are many. Many more may still be trapped down below. Do what you can to repair things from up here. Whether or not our enemies return, we need to reestablish communications and locate those who may be trapped.
It seems that repairs are proceeding quickly, sir. Perhaps we should turns our minds elsewhere for a moment. I believe General Zayan has requested that we turn the spy Vakin over to her. What are your thoughts on this. The man has caused much harm to the Loxian people, but he must also answer for his many crimes against the Federation.
Mr. Nofftz, damage report.
(Edited by Skon at 8:08 pm on Mar. 23, 2004)
=/\=State your intentions Starfleet Maggot=/\=
"Shall I open a channel, sir?"
A new mission? Yes we do and I have some good news for you Mr. Skon
*pulls out a little oak box from his pocket*
I have considered all the options for this position and I have come to the conclusion that you, Lt. Commander Skon Shall be promoted to the rank of full Commander and my new XO.
*passes him the box*
And all duties there in.
Congratulations Commander Skon
About our new mission, we are to report to the Dark Passage to deliver supplies and equipment to the Loxian exiles. We will also be transporting Ambassador Zentox there.
So, If you would, Mr. Mason, please set a course for the Dark Passage and stand ready on my orders to engage.
We will leave once our dignitaries come aboard.
Mason: Yes sir standing ready.
Burma: Please take your stations and report any problems. Doctor would you care to remain on the bridge? you may sit in this seat
*shows him the seat to his left*
Mr. Nofftz, keep us updated on the security team's situation.
(Edited by Skon at 10:21 pm on April 21, 2004)
Thanks to the timely assistance of General Qrell, the entire Skytoucher crew (minus the Doctor) was beamed to the Romulan Warbird T'Pol.
Most of the Loxian exiles were also beamed over, except for the first few that the Loxians captured.
A massive Loxian fleet is still out there on the warpath and the Skytoucher is hanging dead in space with an unstable warp core.
The dreaded "purple tendrills" are begining to attack Who knows where they might pop up next?
Meanwhile, the Vontak Nor has begun to drift, and Romulan engineers are helping to attempt to repair the station.
Also -- but the crew doesn't know this --the probe Mr. Nofftz launched has delivered a message to Station Avalon (I just posted something there in Ops. Begging your pardon, Mr. Nofftz, but I embellished your message a little bit
Also: I posted something in "Mission Planning" that characters with access to that forum should read
Whew! And now back to the story...
(Edited by Skon at 9:40 pm on April 7, 2004)
Ladies, gentlemen. We are gathered today to honor the life of Captain Roland Burma. I know that many of your are saddened by his passing, but this should not be a time of sadness, but a time of celebration of a life well lived.
Captain Burma was many things...a leader, an explorer and a friend to the Loxian people. But above all else, he was a good man. He refused to allow the strong to prey on the weak, and his compassion for the Loxian exiles -- you -- directly led to the founding of this new colony on Vontak Nor. You have reason to honor his memory, and I join you in this.
Personally, it was my honor to serve with Captain Burma. He was an excellent commander, and a trusted friend. I learned much from my time with him, and I hope that I can continue to follow his example in times to come.
Farewell, Captain, and good luck on this, your final journey.

*Vakin looks around in sickbay, trying to find anything out of the ordinary. As he does so, he wanders off from the rest of the team, until he finds himself before a computer panel.*
"Hmm... let's see what can be achieved here..."
"Commander, I didn't get a chance to tell you before during all the rush here, but I found an alien artifact in Sickbay during our battle. What should I do with it?"

Im heading back to my usual schedule of being gone for tuesday and friday and saturday lol....:) the usual again ! and hopefully my new system ill be getting will have np with expansionfleets boards if they do then you know why i cant post lol....BACK! to me being security
ON**
*Sees Tyn walk to the ready room with skon*
Sir.....Whatever she has to say can be said with the senior officers around seeing as how we will find out about it sooner or later.....
Excellent. I haven't heard from Mr. Lupin's team, you may want to rendezvous with them...they are searching for the Doctor either in sickbay or in his quarters. Deck 2.
=A= Skon out. =A=
Hmmm...this isn't good.
=A= Skon to Balkazar =A=
Continue monitoring the prisoner, Mr. Balkazar, and make sure no harm comes to him. If he says anything else, notify me immediately.
=A= Skon out =A=
=A= Skytoucher to Vontak Nor =A=
General Zentox, I have just received a disturbing report. I am transmitting it to you now. Please give me your opinion of Mr. Vakin's words.
=A= Skytoucher out =A=
Skon transmits the report to Zentox on the coded frequency they used during the battle.
At least in the case of this ship, I would like to remind you that we were invited to enter your space to negotiate a treaty. And then we were promptly attacked by Kowan. It's true that we rescued a group of exiled Loxians after their home had been destroyed -- by an unknown force --but since your government had already banished them, they can hardly be considered citizens under your authority, can they? They are a free people under their own laws and we are transporting them to safety.
Again, we do not wish to fight you. It is true that there have been many misunderstandings between our peoples. But we could work these problems out in a way that would be beneficial to both our societies and avoid bloodshed. A battle here will only start a major interstellar war, which, I think, both sides would wish to avoid.
Instead, I propose that representatives of all sides of the conflict meet at a neutral site, where we can negotiate and attempt to work out our differences peacefully.
This could be beneficial for all sides, especially considering that the unknown force that attacked the exile base is still out there and they could strike again...perhaps next time at the Loxian homeworld.
=A= Skytoucher out =A=
(Edited by Skon at 9:23 pm on Mar. 14, 2004)
Agreed. Move to Yellow alert and recall key officers. We will join you shortly.

Want me to take care of that hand ?......Im multi purposed i was trianed as a medic as well as a killer
*Balkazar out*
Very well, Mr. Vakin, you may participate. I believe we will be able to mask your signature.
All other away team members, report immediately. We are preparing to beam out.
OFF: Assume Nofftz is here,. He's on vacation for a week, but he'll be back.
(Edited by Skon at 11:08 pm on April 12, 2004)
(Edited by Doctor at 8:08 am on Jan. 8, 2004)
Understood. What is the status of main power? How soon can we reeistablish communications and sensors? We need to locate the wounded and dispatch medical teams to assist them.
OFF: We can't go back to Avalon quite yet, but...hopefully....soon
(Edited by Skon at 11:35 pm on May 20, 2004)

**Balkazar to skon**
Vakin is still in his cell........And hes being a good boy still...
Thought i would let ya know.........And on a side note When we get home to avalon I seriously will be needing some holodeck time
OFF*********And getting laid********* LOL.....
*** I hear a crashing sound and look around to see a crewmember coming running through engineering carrying a phaser. Chief Engineer starts screaming something. I then think about it, no one is suppose to be down here with a weapon. I pick up a piece of metal and throw it at the fleeing person, as he attempts to shoot one of my crew mates that gets in his way. Unfortunately I have never been the best at hitting a target while throwing and I miss.
I duck, and yell everyone to "DUCK".
"Those Loxians are going to pursuit us until they get what they want, commander. If we surrender the Loxian exiles to them, at least your ship may survive. Better only half the people dead, than all of them dead, no? I am willing to surrender myself to them in order to save your ships and station."
Captain, we have almost finished evacuating the survivors. The shuttles are preparing to take off. This asteroid is unstable, but my readings indicate that it should hold together long enough for us to get everyone off.
=A= Skon out. =A=
Once they are filled, the shuttles begin to take off.
(Edited by Skon at 4:57 pm on Jan. 17, 2004)
Grettings, General, and thank you for your continued assistance. We need help with the Loxian flagship and its escorts. Our shields are down to almost minimal, and we need some "breathing room" so we can affect emergency repairs. At the same time, we don't want to leave Vontak Nor vulnerable. If you could attract the attention of the Loxians for a time, we could "patch things together" and launch a counter attack.
Also, I should warn you, the Doctor seems to believe that this battle is attracting the attention of something else in the area. There may be another alien species coming. Be alert.
=A= Skon out =A=
OFF: Welcome back! Sorry to hear about the two 12-hour shifts. Jeeze, man, don't let them work you too hard.
(Edited by Skon at 11:13 pm on Mar. 30, 2004)
Admiral Montrell has informed me that the Loxian spy, Vakin, is to be put on trial. Unfortunately, Vakin has also lodged charges against me for violating the Prime Directive. These matters will be sorted out in the JAG department on station Avalon. Any crewmembers who wish to testify during the trial are invited to do so. In the meantime, all crewmembers are invited to attend the reception in Celtic Corner this evening.
OFF: Welcome back, Mr. Nofftz, hope that helps fill you -- and everyone else -- in on what's going on.
"Well Captain, it was an honour serving with you. Let's hope there is something after this life, because I don't want this to be my last time that I can wear any of my special underwear." He then blushes and stands up turning to the viewscreen.
As the Captain and Dr Keilah watched the viewscreen, they saw short images of what happened outside and around their ship. They were both waiting for the final blow but this moment seemed to last forever.
"Is...Am I right or.....what the....Captain, what is happening out there??"
And commander, see if you can't ease the Loxians comfort by bringing them items like blankets and pillows, also have the Doctor take care of all the sick and injured.
=A= Bridge to Cano =A=
Message received Lieutennant. It is good to hear that you survived. There is a search and rescue team in your area. They should have you out of there soon.

Mr. Russo, we have received a transmission from Mr. Cano. He is trapped on deck 5. Are you able to assist him?
=A= Bridge out =A=
OFF: Once again, everyone (even if you have posted recently) please report in to the "Roll Call" forum on the Skytoucher board. Admiral Montrell has returned and he needs to know who's still active. We thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
(Edited by Skon at 9:21 pm on June 1, 2004)
=A= Skon to Skytoucher =A=
We are prepared to begin beaming the Loxian survivors aboard. The most seriously wounded should beam up first and the rest of us will follow.
=A= Skon out =A=
=A= Skon to Doctor =A=
Mr. Robinson is preparing to evacuate the rest of the wounded. He estimates 20 minutes to beam them all aboard. He will coordinate with your nurses to ensure an orderly evacuation.
=A= Skon out.
Skon looks up as the shuttles land. He motions to Marcet and Zentox to help him get the refuges aboard. Then, the ground shakes again. Many of the Loxians are frightened, but they trust their leader, Geneal Zentox. When he speaks, they begin filing into the shuttles. The ground shakes again.
Please send down shuttles to increase the speed of evacuation.
=/\=Robinson Out=/\=
"Commander Skon, I can evade but those Loxians are not giving me an opening to escape. Fighting our way out seems to be the best solution. The flagship's cruisers have been destroyed by the Tal Shiar, but it's now protected by a small group of fighters...shall I try to get their attention...and also the attention of the flagship?"
OFF: And the rest I leave up to you as soon as you have left Montrell's office and beam back to the ship :P
will appear. We need to do some major changes to
sensors to even detect them. I suggest we get busy!
Well cmon im heading there now.....
*Balkazar to skon*
Turns out we have a new crewmen and we are both heading to the celtic corner now sir.,...Cya there...
"No Captain, it's all right Miss Zayan is no saboteur. She is an important officer of General Zentox"
Rasmain walks in front of Captain Sanchez and holds his hand on the Captains phaser.
"It's all right Sir, Vakin is no longer a threat but the other Loxian battleships are."
Rasmain turned to Zayan
"I must say that you have done a very good job with taking down Vakin. I'm sure he won't try to fool around with you in the near future "
Rasmain then looked at Captain Sanchez who had slowly lowered his phaser.
"Well Captain, it may be wise to go back to the bridge and take Vakin with us. There we can devise a plan to survive this nasty situation"
Mr. Cano, it is good to see that you survived. You have been to sickbay, what is your opinion of the crew's morale?
Helm: Sir, we are orbiting Vontak Nor. We can initiate docking procedures at any time.
=A= Skon to Zentox =A=
Understood, but if there are Loxian traditions that you wish to be included in the ceremony, I am certain that Captain Burma would approve. We can discuss that further when I board the station. In the meantime, we are orbiting Vontak Nor and are prepared to dock on your command.
=A= Skon out =A=
OFF: Cano, good. I'll reply...
(Edited by Skon at 10:46 pm on June 8, 2004)
"Mr Vakin, did you see it? Did you also experience this strange feeling. I have been in many battles and extreme situations, but I have never had this strange feeling over my whole body."
Marcet stopped and took one final look at his old ship
"I will miss her you know, she was my ship for many years now. She didn't deserve this defeat, this fight was unfair, the victory was already given....that beast! Next time we will prevail, even if there are lives at stake"
A brave move. Perhaps Captain Sanchez has bought us a little time.
Mr. Nofftz, I need as much of a damage report as you can give me. Can you determine the status of the escape pods and shuttlecraft?
Mr. Lupin, go down to engineering and get a report from Mr. Black. If we don't have communications, we shall have to do things by hand.
"Torpedosystems are operational again, Captain. We are fully armed again."
Rasmain stepped behind his console and began to perform scans which were already initiated by the ensign who he had relieved.
*the ship slowed to 1/4 impulse as the engines made a quiet humming sound as they slowed down*
Captain, I can't explain it, but I believe there is something out there. I suggest we continue full scans as we approach Vontak Nor.
(Edited by Skon at 9:14 pm on Feb. 2, 2004)
=A= Skon to Lauren =A=
Excellent.
=A= Skon out =A=
Mr. Rasmain, cancel red alert.
Mr. Black, it appears that most internal communications have been reestablished. Now that we have main power back, perhaps we sould focus on the eingines.
Captain Sanchez, now that power has been restored, we should be able to transport you and your people back to the Evolution fairly soon.
(Edited by Skon at 4:40 pm on May 30, 2004)
As the humans would say, "good luck." Update us on your progress as often as you can, and be careful.
Mr. Rasmain, we should get to work...
(Edited by Skon at 10:45 pm on April 14, 2004)
(Edited by Jesse Nofftz at 9:06 pm on April 10, 2004)
Mr. Balkazar, Vakin is under your charge until we return to Avalon. As soon as we are certain that the brig is secure, you may transfer him there. Keep him safe. He has much to answer for.
(Edited by Skon at 1:40 am on May 31, 2004)
"Over here, Doctor," Wynn says as she starts toward a smoky corner of the room.
"Medical computer online," reports Nurse Aan. He rests the server box on the floor and rights a table to set the box atop before joining the Doctor and Wynn in looking for survivors.
"Ok guys, lets put on our respiratory filters and find some live ones, ok?"
The medical team hands out respiratory facial filters to the rest of the away team and secure their own.
"I am scaning for life signs as well as man made objects"
*walks up to Sean not knowing who he is or what he is for that matter*
Who are ya and whatcha business here ?
*waits for an answer*
Lt. Cimm is correct. We can tow the Mora, as long as we regulate our speed. Since we can still reach Vontak Nor in just over 2 hours, towing the Mora will not delay us very long.
On: =A= Skon to Balkazar =A=
Understood. Keep him safe. As soon as we have completed Captain Burma's funeral, we shall return to Avalon and deal with Mr. Vakin.
=A= Skon out =A=
Mr. Cano, I looked over your records shortly after you joined the ship, and I thought your skills seemed more suited to a tactical position. You may transfer to that section temporarily for now, and after we return to Avalon, we should be able to make the transfer permanent. For the time being, assume the tactical station. At the end of Captain Burma's funeral, I wish to launch a deactivated photon torpedo along the same course that his shuttle took. Mr. Black is checking the status of the torpedo tubes. Coordinate with him and be prepared to fire on my command.
Mr. Rasmain, clean yourself up and get into a dress uniform. Meet me in sickbay in 1 hour. I wish you and the Doctor to accompany me to Vontak Nor, since the three of us served with Captain Burma longer than anyone else in the crew.
Rasmain: Aye. *He leaves the bridge*
Mr. Lupin, you have the bridge. Continue repairs and keep the ship safe while we are gone.
Skon turns and enters the turbolift.
OFF2: Just to let everyone know, Rasmain won't be around until next week. So he can't post.
(Edited by Skon at 10:09 pm on June 10, 2004)
and Doctor, If you have any questions feel free to ask.
OFF: Skon, that is not a problem, we'll see you when you get back.:)
"My suggestion, sir, is that we do not proceed. The Federation isn't threatened by this phenomenon and, although exploration of anomalies is part of the Starfleet mission, I feel I would be less than honest if I didn't tell you I have a bad feeling about going further."
Gentlemen, if you cannot get the station's weapons activated in 15 minutes, prepare for an emergency beam-out. We are under heavy attack and cannot last very long without support.

Mr. Rasmain, Mr. Balkazar, report to the bridge.
Mr. Rasmain, you are in command. I need to visit sickbay and then I will join you. Prepare a damage report and send a transmission to Vontak Nor to make sure that they don't need anything else before we leave.
Skon goes to sickbay.
(Edited by Skon at 4:58 pm on June 26, 2004)
*Burma then took the report from Rasmain's hand and looked it over*
Hmm, those torpedolaunchers might cause a problem, but I agree with you that they are a minor problem.
Engineering should get on those repairs while we are enroute.
Lt. Robinson, are we ready to leave? please let me know if there is any trouble.
Mr. Zentox, will there be any hostile territory that we should avoid?
Message received. Stand by.

But you're right, this is a good time for me to update everyone on what's going on. We've just docked with Vontak Nor, and after we've settled the Loxian refuges and conducted Captain Burma's funeral, we're going back to Avalon.
Once we reach Avalon, Vakin is going on trial. Characters who have had dealings with him (Myself, Rasmain, the Doctor, Balkazar, Lupin and anyone I've left out) will have to testify. Other characters will be involved with refitting the ship under Mr. Black's supervision. And, of course, there will be shore leave for anyone who wants it.
OFF: Burma, do you mean me when you ask the Ambassador to stay on the bridge? :P
Kelli opens a Jeffries Tube access port and begins her descent to Engineering.
The situation here is grim. The colony is rapidly losing life support. We need to evacuate the victims as soon as possible. Please coordinate the evacuatiom with the Doctor and his staff. It might be helpful if the Skytoucher could scan the colony for life forms and help us identify the living.
=A= Skon out. =A=
The doors to the Doctor's quarters are suffiuced with a brilliant pink light as the alien tendril finally has him cornered. It pauses this side of the door and seems to watch the Doctor and his cat while it cycles through a few more horrifying shapes. Soon another tendril has joined it, appearing to drift down from the ceiling, and the two merge and assume the shape of a small purple crab-like creature with several antennae waving in the air.
"Oh, this is just lovely. So you finally caught me. Why not tell me who you are, we can talk about this, reasonably, without all the mind-control drama?"
*We are Naji'it. You are not Naji'it. You are dangerous. You will die.*
The Doctor backs away and accidentally sprawls onto the couch. "This isn't right at all. I'm at your mercy, you should be explaining how you intend to take over the universe, that how it always happens. You gloat, I get rescued, and your plans are foiled. It always works."
*Explanations are not necessary- you must die.*
"Oh dear, this just isn't on you know. I'm sure you're not playing this game right at all... " The Doctor's enemies move toward him as he backs up toward the food replicator. "I'm not sure why,' the Doctor thinks to himself, 'but I just don't think I should allow them to corner me in the head. It just wouldn't be dignified to die near a commode...'
OFF: Sorry guys, but I really couldn't get the tendrils to go too slowly. I get the impression I've really ticked them off, but I don't know how or why. As Kirk told Scotty about being rescued in "The Doomsday Machine": "Now would be a good time."
OFF: don't catch me, this is part of the story.
I´ll beam over to Mora. I will try to co ordinate the efforts to repair here.
I will open a comlink between our two ships in case there is something.
*Rugal leaves the bridge and almost runs to the transporter room and beams himself over. The sight he sees when he materilizes in the transporter room on Mora brings back some desturbing old memories... It seems that Rugals hole life is re-playing infront of his eyes, and it is not an Academy-Award-winning production he is seeing, he remembers when he and the rest of the 23rd fleet arrived here, when the loxians came, all the horrible times.
He shakes everything of his mind and gets in the same decisive moode as always.*
It was for the good of the Union *He tells himself and walks to the bridge to lead the repairs from there.*

Sir Vakin has regained consciousness and hes banging on the force feild door in his cell demanding to be released and he says he did nothing wrong.........and he keeps saying we have no reason to keep him.......*shakes head* Hes the one who was doing all those naughty things and he keeps saying we have no right......

Be nice vakin we will deal with you in time.......So just sit back in your cell and behave......And itll be over with soon......So sit there do nothing but if you must do something twiddle your thumbs if you have them....Otherwise sit still......
OFF**Can i PLEASE!!! vent sedation gas into the cell or does that not exist yet ....OH!!!! my imagination can be mean at times:)
Mr. Bagget, relieve Commander Rasmain at the helm and continue to keep us as close to the Evolution as possible.
Mr. Russo, take the science station and run a diagnostic on the main computer. I want to know exactly what we have left.
OFF: Just assume you've both been on the ship for a while, like Russo's post, and that you've been down below working on repairs.
I'm definitely not trying to scold, either, but we have a lot of refuges on the surface who don't need medical assistance, but they need to be evacuated to the ship as soon as possible (in case the aliens come back). Mr. Robinson had a great idea to use the shuttles to transport the healthy people so we don't overtax the transporters and the whole operation runs more quickly. That's not a medical issue, but a tactical one, which makes it my problem -- at least from the standpoint of what we're doing on the surface.
(Edited by Skon at 8:09 pm on Jan. 15, 2004)
Fascinating. Mr. Rhade, we had better get to bridge as soon as possible and find out who is running this ship. By the way, during your time at the Klingon Military Academy, did you ever study Starfleet tactical systems?

(Edited by Skon at 10:36 pm on June 27, 2004)
Mr. Black, as you humans would say, "It is your show." Keep us updated on repairs and feel free to draft any crewmembers you need. We need as much power as we can generate. Communications and impulse power are also priorities. Once we reestablish communications, we will dispatch rescue teams to locate crewmembers and Loxians who are trapped below.
Skon turns to Sanchez and Zayan.
We also need to decide what to do with the spy, Vakin. He has caused all of us much trouble.
OFF: Repairs can finally proceed. Just remember that we can't fix everything out here. We're probably going to need an extensive refit at Avalon station.
=A= Bridge to Engineering =A=
"Officers are on their way Lieutenant Black, you are doing a great job down there...keep that going . By the way, may I know what the status of the weapons and propulsion systems are? Those systems should be your priority, looking at the next upcoming confrontation with the Loxians...."

Rasmain turned to Commander Skon and whispered
"Well Sir, the next couple of hours will be crucial and may decide our destiny...."
(Edited by Rasmain at 5:28 pm on April 27, 2004)
Rasmain touched his combadge and brought his message shipwide.

Captain, it would be a wise course of action to return to the ship. We will be stronger when stand together!
Aye aye Sir.....He just awoke.....And so far far hes being a good boy.....*few minutes later the commander hears a phaser fire then nothing*
Hes stunned again....He tried to break outta the brig......Ill sedate him again.....
OFF**heheheh Fun ......Keeps my active imagination going heheeh
Mr. Rasmain and I should be returning shortly. I do not believe that Captain Burma will be returning with us. Prepare the ship to get underway. Set course for Station Avalon, best possible speed. Be prepared to engage as soon as we are onboard.
=Skon out =A=
OFF: A couple more things to wrap up and then we're leaving. Sorry for the delay...
At that moment the shuttle could see the USS Skytoucher were the first shuttle was already entering her shuttlebay.
"General Zentox, we are almost there. How is Zayan holding?"
I will post a security officer at sickbay ASAP. I don't want to take any chances.
<Nofftz Out>
Good. Mr. Black has gotten fire control back online and Mr. Rasmain and I are working on repairs to the shields and communications. Find the Doctor as quickly as you can and return everyone to the bridge. We need to rejoin the battle as soon as we can.

OFF: Balkazar, don't worry about it. By all rights, Lauren is correct. All posts regarding the mission should be made in the "Mission" forum, so posting here probably works better for everyone.

As far as telling avalon we are here Well I dont know where to post that at
Apparently, the Evolution has saved us...for now. Damage report, all stations.
Another console fizzles out. Skon touches his com badge in an attempt to contact Engineering. It doesn't work. Behind him, another console goes dark. Internal communications have been lost.
At least give me an estimate on how long we shall be able to maintain life support.
The screen flickers again as the Loxian fleet turns to meet the Evolution
The Doctor works feverishly to mend broken bones, gaping wounds and severe injuries. Two nurses assist him, but the rest are scattered thru-out the ship. The battle momentarily makes everyone's stomach queasy as gravity fluctuates. "Dieting is one thing," the Doctor thinks to himself, "but losing weight this way is not good."
Suddenly a mysterious, cloud-like purple tendril of something is visible to several of the patients. It seems to seep into the room through the walls and heads straight for the Doctor. (Unknown to him, a similar event is happening on the Bridge, where a tendril reaches for Skon.)
Whereas the Bridge crew are alert and act, but Sickbay is too crowded and busy- no one is able to warn the Doctor before the cloud engulfs him. The Doctor is frozen in place, mid-operation, and the cloud glows a brilliant pink. Under other circumstances it would be beautiful, but now...
[OFF: Why do these things always happen to me...]
Status report, all stations.

But since this is tuesday for me ill be gone in a few hours and wont be back till tomorrow
And my brothers computer cant handle expansionfleet
Sir, the flagship's aft shielding has been disabled. Also I managed to render 76% of its secondary shielding inoperable. Perhaps we can force the ship to switch to secondary shielding using tachyon pulses fired from the deflector dish? It should force them to switch to secondaries, and may allow me enough time to disable the primary generators while they aren't in use.
OFF: How many other Loxian vessels are there besides the Flagship? Or has it not been stated yet?
Gul Marcet, I suggest that we hold the briefing here on the bridge (OFF: Seems to be where almost everyone posts on a regular basis.)
For the primary team, I think we can keep it under 8 members. I suggest:
You
Myself
Mr. Zentox
Mr. Omak
Mr. Robinson (OFF: Depending on his availability)
Someone from engineering
The Doctor
I will alert all members to report immediately...
(Off, unless anyone objects, let's move this thing along...)
(Edited by Skon at 12:32 am on Feb. 10, 2004)
OFF***Are we at avalon or Vantaknor?
"I can't figure out what's wrong with those EPS conduits. What is the configuration of those Loxian weapons, by chance?"
"Commander Skon, here you have a list of all crewmembers that have been transported over from the USS Skytoucher. It seems that we have lost five officers in this battle, but how painful it may be, we need to plan our next move."
Rasmain hands over the Padd to Commander Skon and watches him reading it
"I suggest we form an away-team and go back to the Skytoucher. There's still life-support on most of the decks and key-areas as; the bridge, engineering and sickbay. We may not leave the doctor behind and ofcourse the chance that Loxian Soldiers board our ship and download valuable information."
"I wasn't able to lock the ships systems but I am sure the doctor has done by now, as he has special clearance." Rasmain whispered to Skon.
OFF: I gotta know that right, being Tac/Sec Chief.
We will begin the funeral ceremony as soon as the last of the Loxian exiles have transferred to the Vontak Nor. Stand by.
=A= Skon out =A=
OFF: Bagget, Russo. Sorry I missed your earlier posts. I can't really respond since I'm on Vontak Nor, but Bagget, you should be at your post (we'll be leaving soon) and Russo, you can return to the bridge and take the science station, if you want (and if you're not already there).
OFF2: It might be a good idea for someone to let us know that Zentox is in danger. (You'll have to post the message in the "Vontak Nor" forum on the "Expansion Sector" board -- link at top left.
OFF3: Cano, check your messenger, there's something I need you to do...
"All critical patients are accounted for at this time. Our newest arrival needs to be rehydrated & cared for, but I'll have her ready for your questions in a couple hours. Do we really need these two security officers in my Sickbay?
We've had 2 fatalities, so I'll need a Loxian representative to come to Sickbay to care for their death rites. Also, Ensign Haji suffered a broken collarbone and I've taken him off the Engineering duty roster for 24 hours. I'll have a full report on the evacuation ready for you in about an hour."

Computer, unlock command protocols. Authorization Skon 1-A, 2-B.
The computer chirps. "Access Granted."
Reroute power to key systems. Shields and communications are the first priority. Also, we shall need a complete damage report.
Meanwhile, on the viewscreen, the crew can see the funeral erupt into chaos. First, Balkazar stuns and subdues one Loxian. Then, another Loxian fires a disruptor at General Zentox.
OFF: Cano, sorry I posted for you, but since you're away, I wanted to keep things moving.

Are you ready to depart?
Rasmain: Yes, sir.
Skon and Rasmain make their way to the docking bay...They follow throngs of Loxians refuges over to the Vontak Nor.
OFF: This thread will be continued on the "Vontak Nor" forum on the "Expansion Sector" board.
Recently, I've been asked by the group's owner to create more complex plots. This means that--regretfully--I must leave Expansion. I require a great deal of preparation to create a new plot every week.
So, it's with a heavy heart that I resign as Cmdr./CMO of USS Skytoucher. I hope my replacement will be a much better RPer than I was. Live long and prosper!
"Should we send down shuttles from the Skytoucher? It might be quicker than just using the transporter system."

Captain, Im afraid we have no time for small talk. We have reason to believe Starphoenix is the next target of the Na'jigat. We must warn them.
Good work, Mr. Bagget. If we manage to restore enough power to execute your plan, we shall do so. For now, steady as she goes.
Mr. Nofftz, assume the tactical station in Commander Rasmain's absence. We can't fire right now, but hopefully we're at least getting some data from the sensors.
OFF: Mr. Russo, Mr. Lupin, Mr. Black, the intruder and the search party are in your area...

"And I thought lift's made me sick..." he says to himself. Retrieving his dignity, the Doctor runs off toward Sickbay. The corridor is dark exept for the illumination of shattered EPS conduits and sparking panels. It is eerie how deserted the ship is now. The ship rocks from further blasts, literally tossing the Doctor through the open Sickbay doors. He opens his eyes to see his cat Wycliff under a biobed.
ON**So since that was settled Do we still move vakin now ? or do i still watch him?
OFF**Had to ask
Marcet gave the order to depart from Station Avalon. The Hideki Mora moved slowly backwards and made a sudden turn. At a safe distance it engaged to warpspeed and only a blinking light could be seen.
"Something is interferring with my tricorder readings, but what would be the most logical thing for him to do? No transporters, escape pods are not adviseable and why did he go to deck 7 if he wanted to use them? So that leaves us one other option.....the Shuttlebay!"
Mr. Black, it is good to see that you survived. It appears that our enemies have left the area, but we don't know why...or if the threat is truly over.
OFF: Welcome back. Looks like there's going to be a lot for you to do soon...assuming we make it back to Avalon
(Edited by Skon at 10:54 pm on May 19, 2004)
initiate a site-to-site transport for Marcet to the colony
*the ops officer currently manning the console began the transport sequence from his position*
*Marcet dematerialized from his ship and rematerialized on the colony*
Ops: transport complete sir
Burma: good.
Keep that artifact safe. Assign some security guards to watch over it. It may be important. I will inform the Admiral of this development during my debriefing.
In the meantime, a reception has been planned in Celtic Corner for all Skytoucher personel. All crewmembers not on critical duty are invited and encouraged to attend.
=A= Skon out =A=
OFF: Translation: there's a party for us at the bar. Anyone who wants to should go over there and enjoy him/her self
Mr. Rasmain, emergency maneuvers. Plot a course into the anomaly and hold it until we can tell whether the Loxians are willing to follow us.
Mr. Nofftz, It's good that you aren't hurt. Continue firing as long as you can.
Mr. Lupin, get a damage control team to deck 17 and free those trapped crewmen.
=A= Skon to Sickbay =A=
I need a casualty report, Dr. Dorian.
=A= Skon Out =A=
"Sir, I am heading to sickbay with the Ens."
Mr. Nofftz, Mr. Bagget, do we have any sensor data at all? The Loxian fleet seemed to be reforming...
The only drawback is resources. Mr. Rasmain already has repair crews working on the torpedo launchers. If he and Mr. Marotek agree that we have enough presonel to accomplish both tasks, I believe we should proceed.
OFF: Thanks, Mr. Robinson.

*The image of Sanchez on the viewscreen fades away, and instead a display can be seen of Loxian ships regrouping to start a new attack.*
*At that moment, the Loxian flagship fires onto the Skytoucher, and while the ship should have withheld the attack with her shields, the firepower crosses right through it, and hits the hull of the ship. Heavy explosions shake the ship around, and several parts of the decks are ripped out... the blue light of the ship's engines dies out, and the warp core starts to become unstable.*
"Sir, full hit! Their engines are taken out, they are suffering heavy damage!"
"Good, good. Now let's hope our spy remembers part two of the plan."
*And at that moment, the shields of the U.S.S. Skytoucher are lowered by the command of someone from within the starship, though the origin of the command is erased...*
"Their shields are down, sir! Now is the moment!"
"AT LAST! Revenge will be cold! Start beaming over the Loxian exiles into our brigs... and keep our spy to the last, so he can yet do some quick action should it be necessary."
"Yes, sir!"
*At that moment, random Loxian exiles that were in the cargo bays and sickbay, begin to dematerialize...*
Let him be for the moment, Lieutennant. If he says anything important, note it down. It may be useful evidence during his trial.
=A= Skon out =A=
Rasmain sat down and moved his eye's over the helmcontrols. It had been a while since he had touched these controls, but he still knew a few tricks.
"Evasive maneuvers set Sir, awaiting your command"
"Goodday .... Captain"
Rasmain saw one extra pip on the uniform of former Commander Burma's uniform.
"Well Captain, may I congratulate you with your deserved promotion."
ON: *just as quietly he responded* that is a good idea Doctor.
"and also, Commander Skon make sure you stop off at sickbay before you leave. The Doctor will explain it there."
(Edited by Skon at 12:01 am on May 26, 2004)
Indeed, Mr. Nofftz. I believe your conclusion is quite logical, especially given the fact that General Qrell has informed us that the Loxians began beaming exiles off the Skytoucher as soon as the shields went down. How did they know when to begin beaming unless they had a spy on board? And that spy could now be on board this ship. I suggest we proceed with caution.
Skon resumes his normal speaking voice.
If the Doctor was "in flux" when we beamed, we need to find out where he is. Mr. Nofftz, see if you can locate him. I imagine the Romulans will assist you with their sensor equipment.
General, you have saved us for the moment, but there is still a mighty Loxian fleet out there. Perhaps we should begin making battle plans.
"Very well, four eyes see more then two. Hurry, Rasmain, who knows where he can be already!"
*Rasmain follows him into the turbolift and the door closes.*
How about if you are not on the bridge and talking just put something like: OS: off ship
ON: =A= Thank you commander keep me informed =A=
=^= U.S.S. Evolution to U.S.S. Skytoucher =^=
This is captain Sanchez speaking. We received your distress call and come in answer. From what I can see myself, it seems the Loxians are giving you quite a beating. Please answer if you can hear me. Come in, Skytoucher.
I make my way to engineering, watching crewmembers running about making repairs to the panels.
With all of the confusion in Engineering, I can barely tell who the officer in Charge is or even where the Chief Engineer is. I decide to yell out:
"LTJG Russo here, awaiting for orders on any assistance needed in repairs."
"Sorry Commander, I wasn't paying attention. You asked me about medical help, unfortunately I have no resources at my disposal. The internal sensors weren't picking up any lifesigns, I was hoping that others had survived the attack but I think they all died in battle. Are there other things in which I could assist?"
(He turns to Captain Sanchez)
Sorry to be rude Captain. I don't belive we have met. I am Lt. Commander Nofftz Chief Operations Officer for the Skytoucher.
*looks back at the otherofficers on the bridge to make sure they were quiet*
=/\= Why do you refer to us in the most profane manner, who may I ask is speaking? I assure you our intentions are clearly friendly =/\=
OFF: I apologize for not being here as often as some of you have but I have been busy at home and if I appear to be awol, then Skon is in charge, since he is XO (duh)
"You called? I don't know what good i would be. I'm not learned on the device. I'm not filled in on what it is or were its from. Engines are back up and full power restored. But engineering is still a mess. If theres something else i can do i will if not i need to return to my department"
Captain, this is...most unexpected...but certainly appreciated. I shall try to do my best in my new duties. Thank you, sir.
OFF: Thanks! Now I have to figure out what a first officer does, beside stand around and tell the Captain how brilliant he is. BTW, I'm going to be on the road a lot between Christmas and New Years, so I may not be able to post much for the next week or so. But I'll be back after that...
Mr. Rhade, concentrate all fire on the Loxian flagship. If we cut off the head, the body may die...
"You've caught me, Lieutenant!"
*she chuckles to herself*
"Now, if you'll excuse the captain and myself, I need to speak with him alone."
*She smiles politely as he still blocks the exit to the ready room, armed with his phaser.*
OFF: now would be a good time for Rasmain, who's the only Skytoucher officer of Sanchez/Keilah/Rasmain, to recognise Zayan and confirm that it's true.
Couldn't we use the deflector array to plow through the field?
"Running a Full Sensor Sweep"
OFF: and therefore post on the Evolution forum again lol
"Shuttle Bay prepare all shuttles for evacuation of the Loxians"
Lower shields for the shuttles.
Mr. Nofftz, assign personnel to crucial repair stations. Perhaps Mr. Black could use some help in Engineering, where, I assume, he has returned.
=A= Skytoucher to Evolution =A=
It is indeed improbable that we have survived thus far. We are attempting as many emergency repairs as we can.
As for Captain Burma, he left the ship shortly before the battle began. He took a shuttle to scout some strange readings on our sensors...and he was able to warn us of the approach of the Loxian fleet. If it hadn't been for him, we may not have survived. We do not know what has happened to his shuttle...

"Can anyone hear me. I am stuck on the fifth level. I just got my communicator back up and running. So could someone come and help me out of this room."
OFF: Not to sure of where on the fifth level due to having to running from falling debris.
OFF: we can try to open them, but the idea is that we won't get them open soon.
Ambassador Zentox has sensed a danger in the area. It doesn't appear to be related to the station, but rather, something from "out there." I would suggest that you increase your scans for approaching objects or ships...
=A= Skon out. =A=
(Edited by Skon at 1:56 am on Mar. 4, 2004)
I turn briskly towards the turbolift and accompany Mr. Lupin to engineering.
OFF* lets hope i dont burn any relays while trying to fix it hehehe
Let me know when you have a sensor report, Mr. Vakin. We need information. Mr. Rhade, please assist Mr. Vakin until he "gets the hang" of our controls.
Mr. Marotek, what is the status of the probe I requested?
OFF: I agree. I enjoyed getting the opportunity to have Skon materialize in a broom closet. Very funny
(Edited by Skon at 7:38 pm on Mar. 10, 2004)
Since the Captain has abandoned the ship, my place is on the bridge. I will return with members of the away team immediately. In the meantime, if you haven't done so already, contact Station Avalon on emergency frequencies and inform them of our situation.
=A= Skon out =A=
The Doctor stands stock still, stuck in mid-movement by a mysterious cloud. The nurses react by taking the patient quickly and carefully out from under the Doctor's hands. One calls the Bridge to warn them and ask for advise. Another yells out the door into the corridor for a security guard.
The Doctor starts to move his mouth, jerking the jaw up and down like a puppet on strings. The lips start to move and he makes a sound like 'Ooh, ooh, oof' before the mouth stops again. Finally the security guard arrives and tried to contact the Bridge for instructions. The nurses try to take readings with the tricorders...
Gentlemen, the next few minutes will be crucial. Once we've drawn the Loxian fleet into full range of the station's weapons, Gul Marcet will fire, hoping to take them by surprise. If that happens, execute attack pattern Epsilon Nine and try to take out the Loxian flagship.
If the station does not fire, Mr. Lupin, lock onto the away team and prepare to transport them on my command. We will lower the forward shields just long enough to beam them aboard, and then, Mr. Rasmain, engage maximum warp, course at your discression, but put as much space between us and that fleet as you can.
Mr. Vakin, a question. How sturdy are the Loxian ships? Can they maneuver as close to the Dark Passage singularity as we can? If not, we may be able to use the singularity to our advantage...
Also, record the Captain's shuttle's last known position and course, just before we lost him on sensors. Once we've dealt with the Loxians -- one way or the other -- we will double-back and try to find him. Mr. Rhade, your probe idea was a good one, but I do not want to draw the Loxians' attention to the fact that the Captain is no longer aboard. They could use it to their advantage.

" I have made the changes to the Sensors."
Mr. Robinson, Mr. Marotek, please equip yourselves with appropriate away-team gear and meet me in the sickbay. General Zentox, we will meet you in transporter room 3 as soon as we are ready to beam out.
(Edited by Skon at 10:38 pm on Jan. 5, 2004)
Commander Rasmain, I believe you are correct. It appears that the Loxians and the Na'jigat have retreated. But...why?
Recommend we use the tractor beam.
is that possible in our situation Mr. Omak?
Mr. Mason please lower speeds to let Lt. Omak launch a probe.
*turns to Zentox*
Well I understand that you believe this to be a dangerous phenomenon, just like when the Federation encountered the crystaline entity. I agree that we should try to avoid this area entirely.
OFF: Vorak I have already read it before if you think that I might be vearing off the posted storyline please let me know somehow and I will try to fix teh problem.
"What is this of a meeting i heard?"
Let's wrap this search for survivors up and get back to the ship.
Well Vakin Is that all you haveta sing ?........We can continue if you so wish.....Andthe computer will record it all ........
General Qrell, we are prepared to beam out.
Qrell nods and issues orders to his staff. And the away team disolves into nothingness
=^= Doctor to Skon =^=
"May I assume the aliens have left in good order? I have a feeling we are safe for now. What is your reading on the situation?"
=^= Transmission Ends =^=
Stay with him for the moment, Lieutennant. If he awakens, we may want to question him.
=A= Skon out =A=
"I have Comm links with Decks 2 3 and 4. It will take time for the lower decks."
"I have sent the Medical Log to the Sickbay computer for your convenience."
=^= Transmission Ends =^=
Cano finally makes it to the bridge to see what orders are waiting for him.
OFF: Skon I have answered your massage that you sent me.
How many more shuttles are left? I want to get out of this area, Before anything bad happens.
Put the main colony on the viewscreen.
Doctor, I share your concern for the ship's safety, but the anomaly isn't the only reason we're out here. Our primary mission is to make contact with the Loxian exiles. Since we cannot turn back, do you know of any other precautions we can take?
*Tyn appears instantly in the Captain's chair infront of Skon as he enters the bridge once more, legs crossed in an elegant manner, a devilish smile present on her face. She parts her lips but once to speak in a cool voice.*
"Hello, Commander."
Lt. there are no avalabile personnel. Get rid of what ever it is that is there. Then, take the doctor and get back to the bridge.

*Hits ship Comm*
"Damage Team to Deck 17, Medical Team for injured crew!"
Gentlemen, it is good to see you. Yes, Doctor, as you can see, the Skytoucher has certainly been shirking her duty. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Skon motions Captain Sanchez aside and lowers his voice.
As for what happened, sir, we have very good reason to believe that there is a Loxian spy on board. When the Loxians fired on us, their weapons cut right through our shields and damaged all key systems. Our shields went down and they immediately began beaming Loxian refuges off the Skytoucher. It seems odd that they knew the exact time to initiate beaming.
Skon vaguely nods in Vakin's direction
It is also telling that Mr. Vakin had access to certain bridge systems at the time...
*sits in his chair tapping his fingers on the arm rest*
**he was getting impatient**
*looks at the viewscreen*
put the station on main viewscreen. Let's have a look at this cardassian installation.
Damage report, we need to know how seriously we have been hit. I shall attempt to contact Captain Sanchez.
Skon touches a panel on the captain's chair.
=A= Skytoucher to Evolution =A=
The panel emits a squeak and then goes silent. Skon looks down at the blown panel and then tries to access communications from another terminal. Nothing works.
One thing is certain, we have lost communications with the Evolution.
(Edited by Skon at 1:22 am on April 30, 2004)
work two twelve hour shifts.
Mr. Rasmain, execute evasive maneuvers and draw us -- and the Loxian ships -- closer to the station.
Mr. Lupin, while we are maneuvering, prepare Mr. Rhade's tachyon pulse.
Mr. Rhade, prepare to fire at your discretion.
OFF: I have no idea how many Loxian ships there are. It hasn't been stated yet. All I know is that it's a fleet. I've been asking for sensor data for a week or so
(Edited by Skon at 10:51 pm on Mar. 17, 2004)

Thats was still off :)heheheheheheh Ohhhh Thank god for kelly Clarkson
"Ay Commander, hanging behind the Evolution's ass...doesn't she have a pretty one "
OFF: No problem, Balkazar. I think we can work that idea into the story, but I'll have to check with the Loxians.
OFF2: I can't officially answer Balkazar's post, since I have left the bridge. Lupin (who's currently in command) or Cano (tactical) will have to handle this...
(Edited by Skon at 1:26 am on June 13, 2004)
"Captain, Tactical and Security systems are almost working at peak efficiency."
*Rasmain walks over to Captain Burma and hands him his report*
"There are minor problems with the torpedolaunchers, but they can be fixed while travelling to Loxian Space. Though, I suggest that this matter will be a priority with the engineering team. We are unaware about the things that may cross our pad."
Helmsmen engage a Tractor and tow The Skytoucher.

Skon good work to make sure the repair team was doing its part.
*looks over to Zentox*
As soon as we are within range you may setup a commlink with your people. Let them know we can do whatever is neccessary to help.
The Skytoucher made it's way passed the station and tried to get the attention of the Loxian flagship.
"Sir, there are two Loxian Cruisers who seem to protect the Loxian flagship. With a little help of Vontak Nor's weaponry we would only face our priority "the flagship". "
Still sorta confused with that area
Gets up from the Aft console and walks to OPs
"Any luck in connecting the console Lt.?"
The device is ammiting low levels of radiation. Not harmful now but could be in the long run.
<Nofftz Out>
That was close, Lieutenant. The ship seems to be falling apart around us. What is your status? Is the Evolution still between us and the Loxian fleet?
The viewscreen flickers on again, and the bridge crew can see the Loxian fleet reforming for another attack. Then, the screen goes blank.
Keep us as close to the Evolution as you can, Mr. Bagget. I am afraid that we are in for more trouble.
OFF: Bagget, please edit your profile and adjust your avatar. You're a Lieutenant, not a Lt. Commander.
(Edited by Skon at 10:43 pm on May 10, 2004)
Lieutenant Robinson, is the tractor beam stable?
OFF: Robinson: no, you don't have to wait for Omak
OFF: Mr. Cano, it's been established that we have no communications right now, so the bridge hasn't received your message. Just want to let you know that you're not being ignored.
Mr. Russo, Doctor, it is good to hear that you both have survived this encounter.
Yes, Doctor, I believe the aliens have indeed left the area. We seem to be safe, for now. What is the situation in sickbay?
Mr. Russo, if the Doctor can spare you, please organize all crewmembers who are still able to perform their duties into rescue parties. I fear that much of the crew -- as well as the Loxian exiles -- may be trapped below. Find as many surviors as you can.
=A= Bridge out =A=
(Edited by Skon at 12:37 am on May 26, 2004)
I take it that things went well with the Admiral and we have a new mission...
We are departing for the reception in Celtic Corner on the station. All crewmembers are encouraged to join us.
=A= Skon out =A=
The Doctor wakes up with a start. he sits up suddenly, frowning, and says, "Oncoming Storm!" Then he seems to gather himself and realize he isn't where he thought he was. "How'd I get here? Did I get beamed back in the middle of a raging battle?! Egad!" He absently pets Wycliff who, sensing he's done his duty, slinks back to the office for a well deserved rest.
OFF: Hey Skon, it looks like I topped even your usual post duplication standards: I copied my cat post in three topics. LOL
Commander, you say you can detect something out here? well then... go to yellow alert
Helm maintain standard orbit.
Hail them Commander Rasmain.
Rasmain: Channel open
Burma: =/\= Captain Burma to Vontak Nor=/\=
This is the USS Skytoucher to anyone recieving this comm signal. Please respond =/\=
*Shortly thereafter, the away team materializes on the Loxian colony. Immediately, they are struck by the ravage and destruction that has taken place here. The walls are nearly torn apart, conduits are broken, fluid leaks everywhere, and many places are still on fire. Many Loxians are working as hard and as fast as they can to get everything under control, and the noise is hardly bearable.*
"It is a wonder this place still holds together at all."
*Zentox moves on, while looking in several directions. An iron bridge to walk over on a higher level, had fallen down in front of the away team, and there could still dead bodies of Loxians be seen under the debris, even. The lights were flickering, and most of the computer systems were down. The place was also very cold and becoming colder, clearly indicating that the environment systems were failing. At last, a female Loxian approaches the away team. It was the woman who had identified herself as Zayan before, who appeared.*
"Ah, my trusted right hand. Please tell me what happened here... this is a disaster!"
"The awayteam has safely arrived on the station sir, they have just released the gas into the ventilationsystem. Shall I keep a transporterlock on them at all times?"
"Well great, with most of the power down we don't even have light in here. Vakin could be everywhere."
As the three Starfleet Officers were standing in the shuttlebay they were surrounded by darkness.
"Well Captain, there are three shuttles in this shuttlebay and he can be in one of them or he can be somewhere around us, luring us into a trap of him!"
Rasmain tried to find his tricorder but he suddenly realized he wasn't wearing any.
"Oh great, I can't even scan the vicinity! d*mn, these circumstances are becoming worser by the minute!"
Skon nods to Robinson, and they both flip out their tricorders and walk off. As soon as they are far enough away from the Loxians, Skon turns to Robinson.
Mr. Robinson. The Loxians seem to be unable to tell us much about their attackers. Yet we desperately need information if we are to evaluate this potential threat. Therefore, I want you to concentrate your search for survivors around this station's main computer core. Do you understand?
"I think they will not return any time soon.
They seem to be moving away from the colony.
"Omak turn to Engineer, I will get on the repair to the
senors" *Padd in Hand, he retrieves a Tricorder and
proceeds to the sensor control pannel.*
Gul Marcet, thank you for your offer. When our shuttles arrive, I would appreciate your help in making sure the rest of the Loxian survivors get evacuated as quickly as possible. Along with the General and the rest of the away team, we'll get everyone safely on board and then take the last shuttle back to the ship.
Station Commander Skon. It is a please to serve you.
The Tal Shair will be here to the end. Qrell out! =^=
Live long and prosper, General. And my thanks.
But I must ask two more questions. How many Loxians did you manage to save? And...where is our Doctor? I would have expected him to report in as soon as we were beamed over...
(Edited by Skon at 12:42 am on April 7, 2004)
"Message has been received captain, awaiting reply. And going to yellow alert, all systems performing at peak efficiency"
Mason, all stop!
*the ships stopped in front of the colony*
OFF: I am assuming that the colony is on an asteroid? is that right?
Where is Captain Burma's shuttle?
(Edited by Skon at 7:31 pm on April 18, 2004)
Mr. Rasmain, now would be an even better time to get us further away from the main battle. We have Loxian refuges on board who know the passages through the ateroid field...perhaps it's time to play a little "hide and seek" -- I believe you humans call it -- inside the asteroid field.
OFF: Is Commander Vakin still with us? If so, he could really help out with this...
(Edited by Skon at 12:32 am on Mar. 29, 2004)
Mr. Rasmain, belay my previous order and plot an evasive course that moves us farther away from the center of the battle, but still keeps us in the same general area of space.
Mr. Lupin, re-establish communications with sickbay. If you can't, send a runner down there to find out what the Doctor was talking about. He knows more about this region of space than the rest of us do.
=A= Skon to Qrell =A=
General, I hate to impose, but we seem to need your assistance once again. If you do not act swiftly, the Skytoucher's situation may become quite grave.

=/\= Skytoucher out =/\=
Anyone on the bridge please continue the scans.
*Burma stands there looking at the viewscreen muttering to himself*
" Where are you, you dirty scum?"
*He then turns and stares at the turbolift*
I've got an idea, what if I take a shuttle and go out to look for them, a small shuttle would have more luck with sensor sweeps and could hide from any possible scans of our shuttle.
*He starts to head toward the turbolift*
Commander Rasmain, you have the bridge
Mr. Nofftz, try to regain contact with the Vontak Nor. Something's happening...
Meanwhile, behind Skon and Rasmain, the purple tendril continues to snake across the bridge. It's getting close...
OFF: Gotcha, Rasmain. We won't leave you out. This mission looks like it's about to get really interesting.
Mr. Lupin, stun for now, but I want to talk to you about something...
Mr. Black, I wasn't aware that you were on our ship, but you may join the away team, if you wish.
Vakin talked....And i had the computer record what he said.....Ill download it to a pad as a back up in case the computer gets shut down.....Ill have the pad ready when you or one of the interigators gets here......It should be redy bye then
**Balkazar out**
"Nothing strange yet Sir."
ON:
Rhade took over the tactical console, quickly remembering what he had learnt at the Academy. He looked at the tactical sensor readings and reported his findings.
Sir, the Captain's shuttle is just passing out of our sensor's now limited range. If you'd like to track him or perhaps even send him a message, maybe we could use a modified sensor probe. As for the Loxian battleship design, I remember vaguely what we learnt about them at the Klingon Academy, and this one seems to be of a standard design. I believe that the ship's weak points are primarily to aft shielding, forward-ventral hull plating and secondary weapons emplacements. Based on what limited knowledge I possess of Loxian technology, I, and the computer agrees, would suggest Attack Patterns Epsilon Six or Nine.
OFF2: Black, Cano, Lupin, Rasmain, Doctor, Russo, (and Balkazar, when you can post)...when I get back to the ship, we'll need to have an officers' meeting. There's some things we need to talk over before we get back to the Station.
(Edited by Skon at 11:19 pm on June 22, 2004)
"Should there be guards posted at the cargobays and holodecks Captain? We have no idea in which conditions these Loxians will arrive here, some may show violent behaviour cause of the alien attack."
"Are you all seeing the same? It seems that....the cloud has dissapeared....I can only see debris now. But with our flickering viewscreen, I'm not sure...Ow I'd love a window right now! "
"I don't even know if the team of engineers on the station are active. So i may need to pick a few from the crew. Let me know anything about the Chief Engineer position"
The door slides shut.
What is the status of your mission? I believe Mr. Black is coming to assist you.
=A= Skon out =A=
Orders Sir?
OFF2: Capt. Sanchez...Russo has established that he fixed our transporters...they just don't have any power right now. So as soon as main power is restored, you can leave. Or...as soon as we restore comms, we can contact the Evolution and have them beam you over. But why are you in such a hurry to leave the Skytoucher?
OFF3: Nice, Mr. Cano. Hopefully, Mr. Russo's team will hear you...
OFF4: I'm still waiting for a report from those crewmembers still remaining on the bridge.
OFF5: I know this mission seems like it has gone on longer than the 100 Years War, but it can be completed as soon as we make minimal repairs, transport the Evolution crew back to their ship, and drop the Loxians off on Vontak Nor. The sooner repairs are completed, the sooner we can get back to Avalon. And when that happens, I might finally be able to post "in character" again. lol
(Edited by Skon at 9:06 pm on May 28, 2004)
OFF: May I suggest that, since we need a new CMO on the Skytoucher, that I am a worthy candidate for this position?"
Dr. Dorian, I'm glad you could join us, here's my plan:
I want you, Mr. Lupin and Mr. Vakin to search for the Doctor. With all of the damage to the ship's systems, we won't be able to locate him from the bridge. He was in some sort of flux when we beamed to the Romulan ship, and he may be injured and require your assistance.
Mr. Black, take a couple of crewmen down to engineering and get the warp core stabilized.
Mr. Rasmain and I shall attempt to access the main computer and reroute power to critical systems -- weapons, shields and communications.
And everyone, stay alert. We still don't know what that purple tendril was that appeared on the bridge shortly before we beamed to the Romulan ship. It may still be here.
(Edited by Skon at 9:36 pm on April 14, 2004)
=^= This is the Captain of the USS Skytoucher, would all crew please report to the ship and would all senior officers please report to the bridge =^=
*He then started walking around the bridge to see that eveything was alright*
OFF: if you haven't already, post that you are on the ship:)
All stations, status report.
OFF: Of course, only the few people left on the bridge can actually respond to this order...
(Edited by Skon at 10:10 pm on May 11, 2004)
Also, a couple of away-team members haven't reported in yet. If they do, they can go to sickabay, get their shots, and beam down after us. If not, they can go to ####
Mr. Rasmain, attack pattern Epsilon Six. Mr. Rhade, fire at will. Once we've executed th attack pattern, move us closer to the station. If Marcet can't get the weapons online, we may have to do as Mr. Vakin suggests, and retreat.
Marcet nods to Vakin and General Zentox and takes Zayan into his arms and carried her out of the shuttlebay and they went to the holodeck where the doctor was working on other patients.
OFF: Wasn't the Hideki Mora dead in the water, meaning not able to repair? Think that would be logical, assuming it was attacked by the .......
Varnek and your assassin friend here better behave yourselves....
Vakin....You best behave yourself since i am not putting shackles on you.....Because I do believe your inoccent to an extent....But if you make a move the wrong way or try to run We will shoot.....Im more concerned about these 2 assassin more then anything....So just make it easier on everyone vakin and be nice alright ?
OFF**
First chance i am able to post....I have yet to get the new system home ....It should be soon so be patient for a while longer
As Rasmain observed the situation, the Skytoucher was under heavy fire. Because of the heavy fire, several consoles blew and fires began to appear....
"This is not a good day to die" Rasmain whispered
Mr. Nofftz, continue to coordinate with Mr. Lupin's team. Update us on their status.
=A= Skytoucher to Vontak Nor =A=
We have restored communications, what is you status? Weapons are online and we should have shields soon.
=A= Skytoucher out.=A=
*Sees the look on the Captain's face*
There will be a report on your desk about it tommorow morning.
Marcet turns to one of the consoles at his right and after several seconds a graphic layout of the station appeared.
"We will beam down here, at that moment no system will be alerted." He points to one section at the bottom side of the station.
"As I said earlier, no system will be alerted but if we move to another section they will. Therefor we must deactivate them, one at a time. Also the away-team can't be larger then 8 people, it would take us precious time if we have more then 8 persons once aboard the station you will all see why. Other important factors could be explained in a mission briefing in the transporterroom or conferenceroom, but I would like to speak to the whole team."
*gives a little smile*
Lieutenant, run a full sensor sweep of the area. scan for even the smallest trace of anything harmful that could have occurred to the Loxians.
Mr. Marotek, you and your team try to find a way to increase sensors. If there are any more ships out there I want to know about them before they know about us.
Takes out his phaser and leaves engineering to a fre officers he had with him.
Aye aye sir....Ill have the computer start recording what he says if he says anything andmake a back up of it on a PADD.......And dont worry about the health of vakin so far hes being a good boy and not trying to escape.....

The power flickers on and off again. Lights dim and return and dim again.
Mr. Russo, if you are unharmed, please follow Mr. Lupin to engineering. Mr. Black seems to have repairs well underway, but he will probably still need some help.
OFF: Hey, I'm really not trying to undercut anyone's posts, but we can't have full power right now. We can make partial repairs, restore a few systems, but the ship is too heavily damaged...
(Edited by Skon at 11:19 pm on May 4, 2004)
Continue firing, Mr. Nofftz.
Mr. Rasmain, now would be a good time to get us farther away from here. Since we no longer have port shields, I suggest a course that keeps our port side as safe as possible.
Mr. Lupin, divert all non-essential power to the shields.

Just then the Cardassian station seemed to come to life. A barrage of torpedoes slammed into several Loxian ships and caused two of the closest to Vontak Nor to veer off wounded and trailing vapors and sparks. This was followed by several phaser shots. The Loxian ships seemed to scatter and made to regroup...
=^= Doctor to Skon (secure) =^=
Sorry for the delay. Just call us the little engine that could. Vontak Nor stands ready to assist you.
=^= Transmission Ends =^=
The gas was effective. We are proceeding into the interior of the station. We will inform you when we have located the Cardassian soldier.
=A= Skon out =A=
General Zentox is entirely correct. Sometimes being alone in space is a disadvantage -- especially in our situation. Since we don't know very much about the aliens that attacked the Loxian outpost, I suggest caution. Perhaps we should run continuous full sensor sweeps during our journey. We don't want to be surprised while we are alone.
The crab-like form of the invaders creeps forward as the Doctor backs up against the far wall of his cabin. Thinking quickly, he decides that any rescue may come too late and he must make his own luck. What do these creatures fear about him? Why do they want to kill him? Why didn't they try- or did they?- before when he was in Sickbay? Maybe he fought them off- if only he knew how or could remember!
"Are you sure we can't sit down, have a cup of tea, and talk about this reasonably?" Predictably, the creature (s?) remain silent. "Alright, then I guess I'll have to ask you to leave." The Doctor stops backing up and faces the thing now almost upon him, "You heard me- leave! Leave right now and I promise to do everything in my power to let you live. Stay and you will suffer the consequences."
The creature stops, though whether it is amused or frightened by the Doctor's words is unclear. Putting every ounce of conviction into his voice, the Doctor says, "I have warned you. Now go."

hmm, ...... agreed. Mr. Zentox if you wish you can join them.
Gul Marcet, these defensive systems, are you sure you can safely disable them before transport, or should the team go over in shuttles?
"Captain, do you still see him? If not then turn right at the end of this corridor...that's the way to the shuttlebay."
"Long Range Sensor have pick up Trace Signture."
"No Unusual readings within the surrounding area."
Captain, Mr. Zentox, are you ready to go? I think your crewmembers (may I call them slaves? :P) are packig in a few more things into the trunk of this little ship. Marcet are going in the Mora and will be at the stastion a bit faster then us, but just so he can heaten up my office nicely...

Are we prepared to launch the funeral torpedo? If so, please let the crew know that we will be broadcasting Captain Burma's funeral back to the Skytoucher, so that the crew may see the ceremony.

"Well Captain, you are not the only one who has unfinished business with this man. And besides, when one of you gets injured, who will ever find you and heal your wounds with the internal sensors and communications down...indeed you need me *cough*"
The computer had already received a command to go to deck 7 and after the speech of Dr Keilah the doors slide open.
"Well gentlemen, after you" the Doctor said with a serious look on his face.
I also would add that, at this time, Vakin's presence on Vontak Nor might cause the Loxian government to attack your station. He may possess valuable information that they do not want you to have. Since the station currently has minimal defenses, it might be safer if we kept him for a time.
OFF: Is Zayan still around?
Helm, take us in.
Mason: Aye sir moving into the field.
Burma: Mr. Robinson keep a constant tactical scan ready in case any unfriendly ships are in the area.

Mr. Bagget, prepare docking procedures. It appears that we are home.
ON**
*Balkazar to bridge*
Will you please scan the deck that the brig is on......I think someone is watching us from inside....They may have a cloaking device on them.......
*Balkazar out*
*Sets phaser to stun*.......Few minutes later.....
*Balkazar is attacked from behind and stabbed in the leg......He turns around in time to shoot the Loxian who was trying to set Vakin free.....*
*Balkazar to bridge*
Somehow a loxian assassin got aboard and tried to set Vakin free....I got stabbed in the leg but i shot the loxian and hes stunned......UGH!!
*bridge hears Balkazar grunting as he gets up*
Could use some medical help and somemore security around vakin...
**Balkazar out**
OFF**Heh Had to do some spicing up the guarding shift im doing ....Hope you dont mind Skon
** I begin pressing buttons on the science console.
As I am doing that, the counsole overloads and shocks me and throws me backwards on to the floor.
It knocks me out for a few minutes and I come to. "d*mn!"
OFF: the Cardassian Hideki Mora ship is still dead in the water at this place, with Rugal on board, what is to happen to it?
=^= Doctor to Skon =^=
I'm awake, thank you, but the situation here is urgent. I must stay with the patients. Nurse Wynn has gone to help on Deck 17.
I have to warn you Skon- if Skytoucher enters the asteroid field, we may not be able to leave. Our battle is lighting up this part of space like a beacon and, like a moth to a flame, I'm sure something is coming to investigate. I wish I could give you an alternative, but I must suggest we ask the Romulans to...
=^= Transmission Interrupted=^=
(Internal Comm Failure Indicated)
Mr. Bagget, set course for Avalon, best possible speed.
As soon as we're underway, I wish to see all senior officers in the Ready Room. In the meantime, I shall be there, if anyone needs me.
Skon enters the Ready Room.
OFF: Senior officers = anyone who's posting.
Understood. Keep us updated on your progress. As you humans would say, "good luck," Mr. Russo.
