USS Skytoucher Mission 5: the Dark Passage Treaty

[Skon]

Understood, Ms. Lauren. When you get to Engineering, Mr. Blakazar may be able to assist you. (OFF1: See his post in that forum.)

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...

[Skon]

OFF: The meeting will be here...as soon as I get back to the ship.

[Will Robinson]

Will stepped off the turbolift and made himself useful on the bridge.

"Sir, we are recieving a message from the Hideki Mora. The crew are requesting immediate transport off the vessel."

[Vakin]

"You are welcome, sir."
*Ponders at his station console some more.*

[Rasmain]

Rasmain sees Mr Vakin entering the bridge

"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]

"AYE AYE Captain:

                       *Omak launches a Class II Probe*

"The Data should, be coming in shortly."

[Jesse Nofftz]

OFF: Sorry, My mistake.

[Roland Burma]

Yes please Ambassador if you wouldn't mind I would like to have you remain on the bridge.

*takes a look at the map that Zentox had and turned to the helm*

Lt. can you plot a course around here *points to the map* and here.  I doubt that warp is possible through the asteroid field.

[Omak]

 Captain

             "Science stations manned and Ready"

[Zentox]

"Yes of course we are being scanned, my Loxian people have long detected our presence before we could even guess someone's out here. Over the many years of exile in this asteroid field, our people have had the time to adapt their technology to scan through the rocky debris and sensor distortions. But I believe we are within range to establish communication now, setting up a comm-link..."
*Then he touches some buttons, and speaks a message.*

=^= 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 =^=

[Doctor]

The Doctor shakes his head worriedly and says quietly, "Gul Marcet, Miss Zayan is being treated for a head trauma, among other things, and I cannot let her leave until her subpsionics are stable.  She should be ok to leave in a day or so.  You are more than welcome to speak and visit with her here, and in fact the sound of a familiar voice may speed her recovery as it will give her something familiar to focus her mind upon."

Nurse Wynn stands respectfully, head bowed, as the Loxian Representative completes another part of his ceremony.  The Doctor rejoins them.

[Skon]

Very good, Mr. Lupin. Stand by...

[Roland Burma]

Very well, Commander Skon prepare an away team. Have them meet in transporter room 3 with any medical supplies they may need.
Oh and Doctor, it would seem that commander Zax did not report to the ship before we left. That would leave an open position as the Chief medical officer. Therefore you shall be promoted right here to full commander and this ship's new CMO congratulations Doctor.

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 http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Roland Burma]

of course Rasmain, permission granted. Have the extra crew to report to Commander Skon and Marotek.

*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.

[Zentox]

"She may have slight bruises, but better bruises than dead. It may be best if I'm not around though, when she wakes up. I hope that your doctor has a moment to spare to look after her?"
*At that moment, the Loxian shuttle of Zentox lands in the shuttle bay of the USS Skytoucher too, and the doors slide open automatically. Vakin leads everyone out, and Zentox takes the still unconscious Zayan in his arms and departs from the shuttle.*

OFF: ok now everyone's back on the ship, so the ship can get going on to Vontak Nor http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
