Master Legudon - Starfleet Wardroom, Starbase Avalon
"This is absolutely correct. And to that end, I have taken the liberty of sending messages to the governments of every major galactic power. All of them were previously aware of the Na'jigat threat, and when I informed them of this latest imminent attack, not one refused to volunteer aid. The Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, and Delta Alliance have dispatched fleets to Gallifrey. The Borg have sent several cubes as well, and the Founders of the Dominion have even volunteered a fleet of Jem'Hadar warships, which has already exited the Bajoran wormhole and is en route to Gallifrey as we speak."
Legudon's proud tone became much more serious. "This is the largest jointly assembled fleet in the history of this galaxy, and I must warn you all that we may still find ourselves outnumbered. The Heraani space fleet is one of the most expansive I've ever seen. Admiral, if I might be so bold, your forces wold benefit from a commander that has seen the most experience with the Heraan. I recommend Taurik as your temporary commodore."

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
As Dolan starred at the other fleet ships, he began to wonder if he would be able to construct a prototype shuttlecraft that employed the kinetic weaponary he was thinking of. The shuttle would then be able to utilize the entire range of Dolan's knowledge of technology, most of which was superior to what Dolan had access to. After pondering on this idea for a while, Dolan shelved it for discussion after the battle at Gallifrey. Dolan then cleared his mind and began trying to figure out a way the marines could be used strategically in the upcoming battle.

(OFF: I need to break up your post to respond to it correctly.)
Private Raszagal - Marine Hangar Bay, U.S.S. Normandy
The colonel looked surprised. "So your saying the buildings are of no importance to save? but the people are?. Hmmmmmm, then we need to protect the people."
"Colonel," Raszagal replied, "everything is of importance to save. This is my home we're talking about. I simply meant that most of them have no strategic value."
"We will need to move everyone of your people who isnt willing to fight down to a bunker of some kind. I need to know entrance points into the enclaves? are they connected to each other? What are these predators like? Will the Heraan need to go through a surface entrance first before going down to the enclaves?. Things like these I need to know." Balkazar told Raszagal.
"All of my people are willing to fight," she said, somewhat defiantly. "Over the countless millenia, it's what we've been raised for, to combat the Na'jigat. If those details are so important, however, I'll prepare a report on all of the enclaves on the northern continent."
Balkazar lowered his voice. "As for your hesitation, I understand fully. But you need to understand we are allies, you should trust me more, after all we will be defending your homeland. If we fail here then the entire universe pays for it after all. As for your guilt dont feel guilty, its in the past and you had no choice unless you intentionally told the Heraan then the guilt will be with you till the day you die. Thats the one of the many things you have in common with us mere humans." the colonel added.
"That's not making me feel better about it, colonel. I did do it intentionally. I would give anything to take it back, but I can't blame it on any sort of mind control or torture. By the time I told them what they wanted, it wasn't to appease them, it was because I believed they were the better cause. Sure, they tortured me at first, but in the end, I didn't blame them. They had me believing it was something they were forced to do. I believed myself to have been deluded. Now I see that I was always right in the first place, and it was them that deluded me. But the damage is done, and all I can do now is give my best effort to stopping what I helped unleash."

Captain Rajnus -Bridge, USS Normandy
"Helm pull out of the hot zone, Dolan get repair teams going NOW!" Rajnus yelled over the fire and sparks that were flying everywhere as they were hit by several torpedo's. "Helm set course for the closest moon and get as many of those Heraan bastards to follow us. Full phaser spread. We are going to see if they can pull off a sling shot maneuver around the moon, that should give us time to recharge our shields a little bit. Transfer all personel to the critical decks and reroute power to the shields." Rajnus ordered as he sat in his command chair.

Lieutenant Dolan - Outskirts of Antioch, Gallifrey
As Dolan and the Council members reached the Admirals' location, a Pelican decended to meet with them. It remained hovering several feet from the ground for a rapid take off. The Admirals charged inside, firing at nearby Heraan as they did so. Next came the Council members and Dolan's team. As Dolan ran to the ship, however, a Heraan jumped into the ship. The Pelican's crew was able to dispose of him rather quickly but the Pelican began taking off.
Dolan jumped as the Pelican began to ascend, managing to catch the edge of the boarding zone with the tips of his fingers. After adjusting his grip, he pulled himself up and into the Pelican. Dolan turned and took a look at the battlefield below the Pelican as the Pelican sped up, heading for the marine encampment. The Admirals, Dolan's team, and Dolan himself, managed to fire a few shots at several Heraan below them. The Pelican also opened fire several times at clusters of Heraan. However, the Pelican was out of the combat zone in a matter of minutes and all weapons fire ceased as the Pelican approached the marine encampment.

Master Taurik - Citadel of Adun
Taurik and Ar'Krakh were locked in deadly combat, neither able to gain a decided advantage over the other. Their battle felt as if it had already lasted an eternity, but in reality had been occurring for only a few moments. Taurik could feel the rage in Ar'Krakh's attacks, but kept an emotional calm while he parried, counter-attacked, evaded, lunged, and dove.
The constant focus, the immense pressure and reliance Taurik placed on every moment of his training until this point, had not prepared him for the sensations he was beginning to feel. It was as if his perceptions were expanding by the second, and it became easier and easier to predict Ar'Krakh's movements. Taurik, in the midst of an attack, drew his second khala and began to press his attack at the Heraani warmaster. His perceptions began to swell, and it seemed that he could feel the entire room as if it were his own body. He recognized the feeling, and restrained himself before he expanded too far, as he had done aboard the Sanctity once before. But it was this expanded perception, a feeling of all things around him, that caused him to feel the sudden defeat and death of Legudon as if it had been his own heart that had been impaled. He staggered, almost allowing Ar'Krakh to get the better of him before he isolated his mind from the pain. But it was this pain, this sense of loss, that gave him additional focus. Legudon had been slain, making their victory even more essential. As a former apprentice himself of the late master, he still felt a special connection, as if Legudon had been his Gallifreyan father in this double life Taurik led.
And now, he could sense the mind of Lieutenant Dolan, desperately attempting to combat one of the most powerful Heraan in existence, one who had been able to best the mighty Master Legudon. Taurik sensed the lieutenant trying to utilize his only chance for survival; the weapon of his own fallen master. Unknown to the lieutenant, however, khalai were only activated when psionic energy is channeled through the shard of Khaydarin crystal at the core of the weapon. Taurik used his expanded perception to reach out to the weapon and spare a small amount of his own energy, with the hope that somehow, Dolan could take care of the rest.

(OFF: Doing a little bit of ending narration here, since to fully finish the wrap-ups would take another few weeks in-game.)
Epilogue
Taurik of Vulcan, Starfleet captain and Senior Master of the Gallifreyan Order, became the first telepath in the several million years to ascend beyond the mortal plane. The sheer power channelled through him during the union of minds sparked by the Chalice of Adun, caused his consciousness to expand until his body could no longer contain it. It was then that he merged with the entity called "Nil'kemorya", a collective consciousness comprised of every telepath that had ascended before.
After the death of Master Legudon, and Taurik's ascension, the remainder of the Gallifreyan Council held one final meeting. This meeting was the one that disbanded the Gallifreyan Order, it's existence no longer necessary after the destruction of the Na'jigat. No longer wishing or able to cling to their secretive, clandestine ways, the newly formed Gallifreyan Union established official borders and declared it's sovereignty. The Union's first action under this new banner was to extend offers of alliance to most major powers in the galaxy, including the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, and the Delta Alliance. Master Techerakh, Templar Raszagal, and Sentinel Alexia, all former remnants of the Order, were asked to serve on the Gallifreyan Senate, comprised mostly of former masters and high ranking warriors. By unanimous vote, Techerakh was elected as the Arbiter of the Gallifreyan Union.
Upon returning to Starbase Avalon, Admiral Karelia was shocked to learn that Vorak had already given his report to Flag Admiral Paris on Earth, and Starfleet Command's reply had arrived. They gave notice that the three top admirals on Avalon were being reassigned, and that Admiral Julian was to take over as the fleet commander of the Avalon Sector.
According to Paris, the Delta Alliance had managed to re-establish a connection with the original prototype null-space-catapult, constructed by Tash, now a councillor in the Alliance government. This provided the Delta Alliance an opportunity, one they decided to share with the Federation, given the fact that Tash was aided greatly in the construction of the prototype by none other than Captain Kathryn Janeway of the U.S.S. Voyager. Starfleet and the Delta Alliance began plans to co-develop that area of space, deep within the Delta Quadrant, starting with the construction of a forward starbase, the first permanent settlement that deep in the Delta Quadrant, by either nation. Admirals Vorak, Karelia, and Rellek were chosen to lead the development of that region, and to assist in the creation of such a remote outpost, Starfleet contracted the Delta Alliance to construct a small relay of null-space catapults throughout Federation space, all linking to each other, with the Avalon catapult linking to both the Sol counterpart and the deep-space prototype. In the interest of exploration, Starfleet naturally commissioned a new starship to help lead the expansion efforts in that area of space.

Flag Admiral Vorak - Avalon Station Conference Room
"Mr. Legudon, if I were to refuse the aid of Starfleet in this battle, then I would decrease your chances of defeating the Na'jigat and the Heraan forces. As a result of this, Starfleet would still be facing the enemies as well, but then without the help of Gallifrey and the other powers of this galaxy. It would therefore only be logical that Starfleet should fight alongside the Gallifreyans and its other allies; after all, I have not forgotten the help of the Gallifreyans during the Battle of Avalon. Mr. Legudon, I hereby place the fleet of Expansion under the command of Captain Taurik, acting commodore of the fleet."

"I know your species is older then us humans, but what im saying from a tactical point of view is that, if the Heraan attack, we will not beable to save the buildings. Buildings can be rebuilt, lives can't. If your people die who will be around to prevent the Heraan and their Nij'gat masters from invading our galaxy?. No one because your people will be dead. Dead people cant rebuild buildings. Memories of your species will be lost and entire culture will be destroyed because we chose to protect buildings over the people. Your people are our first priority to save not the buildings. Can you understand that?. Im sure if Master Legudon or your master was here they would agree with me." Balkazar said openly then paused for a moment.
"Alright. The buildings have no strategic value but that wont stop the heraan from destroying them. What we need is some way of slowing them down. How many possible landing zones that can be used to mass millions of troops are on the planet? How can we use your homeworld's terrain to our tactical advantage?" Balkazar asked.

"The Normandy's marines will be sent to the surface of Gallifrey, captain. If I recall correctly, they will be the first humans to set foot on that world. I apologize, Mr. Rajnus, but I must attend to my duties. If you have any further questions, I'm sure Admirals Karelia or Julian can field your requests. En Taro Adun, captain."
As Taurik ended the communications, he made a mental double-take at his closing sentiment. In the one hundred and three years since his birth, Taurik had always closed such a call with "live long and prosper". He was now absently using a Gallifreyan salute, one that gave honor to a long-deceased Gallifreyan he'd never met. It took him by surprise how much like a Gallifreyan he was becoming.

Lieutenant Dolan - Citadel of Adun
Dolan entered the antechamber just as a Heraan plunged his blade into one of the Council members. Upon seeing this, he realized he had just been extremely lucky and that the battle here was suicidal at best. If the Council couldn't defeat these Heraan, what hope did the rest of them have?
Despite the hopelessness of it all, Dolan began firing at the Heraan that had just killed Legudon. The Heraan was caught completely off guard, as it had just been savoring the kill of one of the highest members of the Gallifreyan Order. However, it soon resumed a battle stance before knocking Dolan against the wall with a blast of psionic energy. It charged before Dolan had a chance to recover, but Dolan managed to roll out of the way of the Heraan's swipe at his head.
In this whole situation, Dolan was at a complete disadvantage. The phaser rifle wasn't designed for hand-to-hand combat, especially not when the enemy had psionic powers at their disposal. Additionally, this was the first time he had to fight a Heraan in melee combat and it was just his luck that it had to be an elite Heraan swordsman that had a mastery of the blade. On the other hand, the Heraan probably had hundreds of kills to his credit; how else could he have reached an elite Heraan status? From what Dolan could see, they were serving as the bodyguards to the Heraan warmaster and it seemed probable that the warmaster would accept nothing but the best of the Heraan to serve as his bodyguards. On top of all of this, Dolan was never truly trained for hand-to-hand combat. Where he was from, it was unnecessary - the only options were to survive or to die in a nuclear explosion. In any case, even if he found a more appropriate weapon, the Heraan still outmatched him in skill and strength.
Another swipe at Dolan's midsection brought his thoughts back to the problem at hand. Dolan managed to leap out of the way, but he did not know how much longer he could last. His eyes settled on Legudon's khala. Dolan thought it was probably a violation of some sort to take a weapon from a deceased Gallifreyan, but he decided that the situation had to allow for an exception.
Dolan fended off another series of blows by the Heraan, with his phaser rifle breaking in two after the last blow. Dolan tossed remains of the phaser rifle at the Heraan before breaking into a run for Legudon's crumpled body. He was once again thrown off his feet by a psionic blast, so he overshot his target. He switched direction as soon as he managed to get up. The Heraan had lept into the air and was falling toward Dolan. Dolan ducked under the Heraan just before it landed and managed to pry Legundon's khala from his lifeless hand before turning to face the Heraan again.
Dolan entered the antechamber just as a Heraan plunged his blade into one of the Council members. Upon seeing this, he realized he had just been extremely lucky and that the battle here was suicidal at best. If the Council couldn't defeat these Heraan, what hope did the rest of them have?
Despite the hopelessness of it all, Dolan began firing at the Heraan that had just killed Legudon. The Heraan was caught completely off guard, as it had just been savoring the kill of one of the highest members of the Gallifreyan Order. However, it soon resumed a battle stance before knocking Dolan against the wall with a blast of psionic energy.

Korinas had been satisfied with the mission so far. They had succesfully fought off the Borg...and the Federation had the new prototype torpedo that could've been of extreme value to the Obsidian order. The Borg cube had truly come in at right time; as the torpedo was being launched, Korinas had had exactly enough time to ran a quick but complete scan of it and send it to the Order through a secure channel. Erasing her tracks had been no problem for her. Not after all that time of doing it. She had never once gotten caught. She did not intend to change that fortunate habit.
She'd barely withheld a triumphant chuckle(but she had withheld it) when Captain Lollock had decided these torpedoes were to be used as a last resort only. Too dangerous...when it came to weapons, there was an ancient policy-the more dangerous for the enemy the better. Humans...Klingons...Starfleet...were obviously stupid. Not that she was going to underestimate them. Just that their ethics and morality decreased their efficency. Cardassians were going to make a much better use of the torpedo.
After the conflict with the Borg, they had received orders to head back to Space Station Avalon and pick up another package of classified contents. Another piece of data for the Order. Korinas had no problem with it. It was, after all, her job, gathering information.
Julian's Office
The senior staff was ordered to report to the office of Admiral Julian. Korinas followed in right after the Captain, her head high up, as always, in a posture of arrogance most claimed was common to all Cardassians.
"Admiral." She greeted Admiral Julian smoothly, her eyes shifting to Captain Lollock as well, "Captain."

(OOC: Sorry I haven't posted. I know I should save it for another time but yesterday it was 45degrees F and today its 60! wierd huh...)
T'Kar was in engineering, running around, barking orders, and leading some repair teams. He did this all at Commander Freeman's orders, because he was second in command in engineering.
He heard a report that the aft torpedo launcher was down. It was his job to repair it. He got a team of the engineers who have been on the ship before. Even though he got the chance to be well acquainted with it, He definitely thought it wise to do what he did.
When he got down to the launcher, it was clogged with debris. " Get some phaser drills down here!" he yelled in his gruff voice.
They were in the middle of cutting it out and they were going to launch the metal junk out, hopefully at a ship, when it shifted. "Get out of here! Now!" the way he said it sounded almost desperate. The team knew what was going to happen next. T'Kar used his own phaser so he could be farther away. He cut near the bottom. It didn't shift. It rolled directly toward him. To him, this meant he could get out and launch it. He ran faster than most people thought his stature would allow. His team got the Jefferies tube open just in time. ^=^ T'Kar to bridge try testing it now.^=^ he said out of breath.

"It would appear logical, Mr. Legudon, that the Na'jigat and their forces would focus their primary attack on a Gallifreyan stronghold indeed. At this point, the Gallifreyan species are still their most formidable enemy in the galaxy yet, and it would be in their tactical advantage to destroy Gallifrey, before moving on to less dangerous targets such as Earth. That is to understand that, if Gallifrey should be defeated indeed, Starfleet and the Delta Alliance will likely be the next target of the Na'jigat and the Heraan. Of course, it is likely that they will also focus their attacks on the Borg, Kazon, the Dominion, Romulans, Klingons and Cardassians. I believe it is therefore in the best interests of all of us, to work together in a coordinated attempt to prevent the defeat of Gallifrey."

*Admiral Julian was looking straight up into the ceiling and just staring. He was day-dreaming of the memories he had while posted in the Expansion Fleet. He thought about his first Expansion Fleet ship command, a Vidiian ship modified with Starfleet tech. It was the first U.S.S Rivendell. After the ship was destroyed and a new completely Starfleet U.S.S Rivendell was commissioned he was promoted and took control as Comanding Officer of Station Avalon. Then he was promoted again and sent with Captain Janeway to a science station for 2 years to be the Commanding Officer. Boy did he like those memories. Being a part of the new technologies while on that station gave him a thrive and lust to get back onto the battlefield and test them. He then remembers being sent back to Station Avalon as CO and with the big task of making a station move through warp. Also meeting the Melmacians on Dantor and making first contact. All fond memories. He dwelled on his thoughts and came to realise why he was with his team on the U.S.S Iroquois. These people were as close to a family that he had. He could not just sit back at the station and watch a viewing screen to see if they were ok. He had to be there, with them, willing to fight. He thought about how the strategic points of using his Flyer would help the fleet. After all it was a complete replica of the one the futuristic Captain Catherine Janeway came in to help the U.S.S Voyager return home. The ship is almost untracable, and its armor more than capable of withstanding attacks. His ship could be used as a beacon. A target painter for the fleet so to say. Although his thoughts of being a beacon were simply thoughts nothing more. He was more interested in finding out what the Iroquois was capable of. Especially with the technological advancments it had been given over even the newer ships. The ablative armor, the transwarp torpedoes, and now the Validium Inductor Emitter. She was a good ship and would put up a hell of a good fight against almost anything the Heraan could throw at it. These thoughts made Julian eager to get into battle.*
Helm. How long until we reach our destination?

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
Dolan was alarmed when both the Operations Officer and the Tactical Officer were thrown off their feet and didn't rise up. He quickly contacted the rest of the ship to relay the captain's orders and to deploy the repair teams to the most critical areas before ordering Sickbay to send a medical team to the bridge. After finishing giving those orders, Dolan took over the tactical consoles, sending phaser fire and torpedoes to gain the maximum amount of attention from the enemy. Fortunately, Dolan could figure out the shield frequencies and nutations rather quickly and adjusted the phasers and torpedoes accordingly. The increased explosions caused by the Normandy drew even more Heraani vessels into the chase.
"Aft shields have fallen to 15% and forward shields are gone!" yelled Dolan as sparks continued to fly around the bridge. "Structural integrity is down! We have hull breaches on decks 4, 7, and 8 and emergency force fields won't hold much longer! I'm redirecting power from the warp core to the shields. That'll hopefully give us a couple more minutes."
A large group of Heraani vessels pursued the Normandy once it disengaged from the battle and raced to Gallifrey's moon. Both the Heraan and the Normandy continued to exchange fire, though due to Dolan's rapid calculations, almost every phaser blast and torpedo penetrated the Heraani shields, destroying or disabling the ships. Even with the boost from the warp core and Dolan's help however, the aft shields continued to wear down at an alarming rate.

Major Raszagal - Outskirts of Antioch
Raszagal hopped onto the seat of a Gallifreyan hovercraft, a small vehicle used by Templar as a form of cavalry mount. The vehicle powered up and lifted itself about a meter into the air. The vehicle was narrow and sleek, the design tapering off to what looked like a pair of lances, each mounting a tetrionic pulse cannon, powered jointly by a micro-tetryon generator and a Khaydarin core.
The vehicle began sliding forward at great speed, reaching the battle site in a matter of seconds. The tetrionic pulses, both physical and psionic in nature, were startlingly effective at neutralizing the Heraan it was pitched against. Like the much larger tetrionic arrays (or "lines") equipped on a warship, the Gallifreyan weapon system was notorious for often proving itself the most advanced on the field.
Unfortunately for Raszagal, the vehicle was primarily built for speed, and was tailored for quick, glancing strikes at enemy lines. Engulfed in battle, it was only a matter of time before a Heraani soldier managed to get behind her agile vehicle, and jumped up onto it's frame. Startled by the sudden weight increase and the hovercraft's subsequent shudder, she spun her neck to see the Heraan knock her violently from her seat.
Landing on her back on the ground, she saw the Heraan seat himself on the vehicle, and found herself on the receiving end of her own weapons. The bolts from the tetrionic cannons were powerful, and recoiled her as she tried to deflect them. Suddenly, there was an excess of blue light from the aft of the vehicle, and it lurched forward as the Heraani soldier steered toward her.
Thinking fast, she leaped into the air, and as the craft passed harmlessly under her, she used her psionic power to pull the creature from her hovercraft. It flailed in the air a moment, but as she moved to strike the soldier with her khala while they fell, it produced it's own blade of energy, deflecting her blow. They both landed harmlessly on their feet, weapons at the ready.
It had been some time since Raszagal fought a Heraan blade-to-blade. She had trained relentlessly after rebuilding her weapon, but the last time she had fought another swordsman, she was at a severe disadvantage without her psionic abilities, and only managed to survive by pure luck. So it was with caution that she entered battle, using a defensive form that Techerakh had taught her during her apprenticeship. It involved keeping the weapon close to one's person, so as to minimize the distance a parry must travel and increase the speed of one's defense. It also called for extreme patience, as it required a Templar to pass up tempting opportunities for counterattack, waiting for the opponent to become fatigued or complacent.
When this moment came, it was as the Heraan held his weapon high in an attempt to smash through her defenses. She broke her defensive stance, attacking the Heraan first, which required him to haphazardly switch from attack to defense during mid-stroke. This threw the alien off-guard, and Raszagal swung her leg to trip him, and he fell through her waiting blade.
Raszagal hopped onto the seat of a Gallifreyan hovercraft, a small vehicle used by Templar as a form of cavalry mount. The vehicle powered up and lifted itself about a meter into the air. The vehicle was narrow and sleek, the design tapering off to what looked like a pair of lances, each mounting a tetrionic pulse cannon, powered jointly by a micro-tetryon generator and a Khaydarin core.
The vehicle began sliding forward at great speed, reaching the battle site in a matter of seconds. The tetrionic pulses, both physical and psionic in nature, were startlingly effective at neutralizing the Heraan it was pitched against. Like the much larger tetrionic arrays (or "lines") equipped on a warship, the Gallifreyan weapon system was notorious for often proving itself the most advanced on the field.
Unfortunately for Raszagal, the vehicle was primarily built for speed, and was tailored for quick, glancing strikes at enemy lines. Engulfed in battle, it was only a matter of time before a Heraani soldier managed to get behind her agile vehicle, and jumped up onto it's frame. Startled by the sudden weight increase and the hovercraft's subsequent shudder, she spun her neck to see the Heraan knock her violently from her seat.
Landing on her back on the ground, she saw the Heraan seat himself on the vehicle, and found herself on the receiving end of her own weapons. The bolts from the tetrionic cannons were powerful, and recoiled her as she tried to deflect them. Suddenly, there was an excess of blue light from the aft of the vehicle, and it lurched forward as the Heraani soldier steered toward her.
Thinking fast, she leaped into the air, and as the craft passed harmlessly under her, she used her psionic power to pull the creature from her hovercraft. It flailed in the air a moment, but as she moved to strike the soldier with her khala while they fell, it produced it's own blade of energy, deflecting her blow. They both landed harmlessly on their feet, weapons at the ready.
It had been some time since Raszagal fought a Heraan blade-to-blade. She had trained relentlessly after rebuilding her weapon, but the last time she had fought another swordsman, she was at a severe disadvantage without her psionic abilities, and only managed to survive by pure luck. So it was with caution that she entered battle, using a defensive form that Techerakh had taught her during her apprenticeship. It involved keeping the weapon close to one's person, so as to minimize the distance a parry must travel and increase the speed of one's defense. It also called for extreme patience, as it required a Templar to pass up tempting opportunities for counterattack, waiting for the opponent to become fatigued or complacent.
When this moment came, it was as the Heraan held his weapon high in an attempt to smash through her defenses. She broke her defensive stance, attacking the Heraan first, which required him to haphazardly switch from attack to defense during mid-stroke. This threw the alien off-guard, and Raszagal swung her leg to trip him, and he fell through her waiting blade.

Master Techerakh
"Mr. Balkazar, I will be happy to explain everything in detail soon enough. But I have things that require my attention first." Techerakh opened a communication with the Prodigal Son in orbit. "Report?" he asked.
Master Vetraas replied. "The Heraan are ceasing fire! All of a sudden, they just stopped attacking. They've formed up, shut down their engines... and they're just sitting there!"
"I'll be along shortly," Techerakh responded. He pointed to Raszagal and Alexia, who were resting across the antechamber. "With me." he ordered.

Captain Taurik - Turbolift, Starbase Avalon
Taurik impatiently watched as the lights of the turboshaft passed by the lift car, causing the familiar pulse of light as the car moved through the shaft. He sensed the command deck approaching, and readied himself at the door. As soon as the doors parted, he slipped between them, and walked so briskly that he was one step from running. He immediately entered the wardroom and took an available seat, not bothering with protocol. As far as Taurik was concerned, he was at this conference as a Gallifreyan master, not as a Starfleet captain.
"I apologize for my lack of punctuality," he said shortly, addressing both the admirals and his fellow masters.

Admiral Julian, Conference Room, Station Avalon
As some of you may already know, Validium is used by the Gallifreyans as the ultimate weapon to kill the Na'jigat. The weapon is so powerfull, only the president of Gallifrey himself can authorise the use of it. Throughout the last millenia, the Validium particles have scattered all throughout the Van'Gu Cluster in its raw form.
Over the last few years, Starfleet have been able to collect small amounts for scientific study. Cutting a long story short, using the Validium, our scientists, with the latest help of the Driod Nexus, have been able to create a new defence against the Na'jigat.
Before now, the Na'jigat have been able to pass straight through our shields and hull making us seemingly defenceless against them, but with this new device they are going to find it much harder to break our lines.
*a visualisation appears on the table in a holographic format. the image is of a small mechanical looking device*
Its called the Validium Inductor Emitter. When enabled, it enlaces with a ships shield grid and emmites an energy signiture that instanly dissipates the life force of any Na'jigat that comes into contact with it. We were supplied with the first fully functional device last week. However we knew we needed more and so the U.S.S Iroquois was instructed on there last mission, to deliver this device in confidentiality, to the Droid Nexus Homeworld for the production. The Iroquois then retrieved the packages on their way back and they are now here on the station.
Not to worry, the Validium was not taken anywhere during this process. It is not part of the emitter it is encased inside the device.
*a new hologram is displayed showing the procedure of the Validium being placed inside the emitter device*
Now we have enough emitters and enough Validium to provide the full procection of our Fleet, but we do not have enough for any other ships. We also cannot let this new technology into the hands of our 'temporary allies'.
One device is being delivered and installed throughout the fleet as we speak.
Any questions??

The Radiant Thunder turned around to face the Heerani front while Tigerlead was trying to target their ships as best as he could. A five torpedo salvo hit one Heraani destroyer near it's core an the ship broke in half and exploded taking at least a two dozen small fighter to their doom.

Admiral Karelia - Pelican Dropship Charlie 0-2-2
Will jumped from the aft ramp of the Pelican, Julia's hand in his. Unfortunately, the fall was several meters, and Will's legs caught a bad footing when he landed, and he landed hard on his arm when he held it out to stop himself. There was a sickening crunch, and the sleeve over his contorted arm began to stain red.
Karelia managed to get himself to his feet and painfully put his arm back in the correct orientation. He seethed with pain, but tried his best not to show it. Ripping off his uniform jacket, he tied the arms together and hooked them over his neck, making a crude sling with the torso of the jacket. He smiled when Julia offered to help him, and assured her he was going to be fine. "I was a medical officer in my glory days, after all," he said.

"I believe that's everyone," Legudon stated. "I'll be quite blunt here. The Na'jigat are primed once more to attack. The last time that they had achieved this level of power, several millennia ago, the Order was still led by Adun. That they have been able to conceal their power from us does not bode well."
"This has led to my recent discovery," he continued. "Not only that, but the Heraan have stepped up the creation of their armed forces almost threefold, and considering their already staggering numbers, that is of great concern. My investigations have led me to believe that their half-hearted attack on Earth recently was but a diversionary tactic; they do not view Earth as a significant target yet. They are focusing their true efforts, I have discovered, on Gallifrey itself."

Captain Taurik - Command Deck, Starbase Avalon
Taurik was about to leave the room when he felt the psychic presence of Techerakh beckoning him to linger a moment. He waited as the majority of the Starfleet officers left, before projecting his thoughts to the Templar master. "What is it you require, Master?"
"Please," the master pleaded, "You are no longer my pupil, Taurik. In fact, this is why I need your attention. I know of your recent ordeal."
Taurik knew he should have been surprised, but was not. "In fact," Techerakh continued, "The whole council does, as does most of the Order. I know Dechtakar told you my interpretation of the legend of Nil'kimas, and that I believe you to be the embodiment of the Nil'kemorya. I am approaching you to confirm this."
Taurik was dumbfounded. "Techerakh," he said, remembering the templar's request to address him by name, "I am still one of the relatively newest members of the order. How can I be the embodiment of your god?"
Techerakh appeared disappointed. "Taurik, the Nil'kemorya is not 'our' god. Many races over many worlds have had countless names for the Nil'kemorya. And the legend is very clear on the fact that the one to bring ultimate unity to Gallifrey will be our greatest warrior, our most revered leader, and will not be born to Gallifrey itself. Your recent ordeal, Taurik? I could tell you what it is, but I believe you already know."
Taurik was silent for what seemed like an eternity. "The Nil'kemorya. I merged with it."
"In a sense," came the old master's reply. "More accurately, it merged with you. It allowed you a brief, small glimpse into it's existence."
"What does this mean?" Taurik asked, genuinely curious.
"It means," Techerakh replied, "that any Gallifreyan will fight and die by your word... myself included." The master gave one last second to allow the last sentiment to sink in, before he turned and left for his ship, the Prodigal Son.

Will settled into the seat at the fore of the cockpit, and keyed in the sequence to warm the thorium reactors. The subtle hum of systems coming to life could be heard as Julia slid into one of the chairs behind Will.
"Although I prefer the native interface," Will said, "you can switch your panel to LCARS if you like. I've made sure to give this baby all the Starfleet amenities."
Will grasped the flight controls, and the ship lifted from the hangar deck, and nimbly pivoted in the bay to face the forcefield spanning the mouth of it. Karelia ran his hand along the controls to boost the engines to 20%, and the ship banked out of the bay. In the cavernous expanse of the starbase's inner docking structure, the Virtue, while fast, had plenty of room to maneuver. Will took a wide angle toward the space doors, and banked the ship gently and steadily toward the exit.
As soon as the ship was free, he pushed the throttle to 75% to escape the docking pattern, removing himself from the path of other ships trying to enter and exit the station. He dropped the engines to zero, and engaged the retro-thrust system, which would bring the ship to a stop. He turned his chair toward the tactical system, and began scanning the area for all the allied ships in range, effectively taking a head count of all the ships involved.

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
Dolan was surprised at Rajnus's abrupt departure but orders were orders and he moved to sit in the Captain's seat. Once he was seated, he began running through the workings of every weapon he knew of, wondering what would be the most effective in a ship-to-ship battle. After assessing and reassessing each weapon type he knew of, he discarded the use of directed-energy or plasma based weaponary, as shields were designed to absorb and disperse energy in such a form. He briefly considered trying to create a plasma or energy weapon that fired a narrow, high-intensity beam of energy or plasma, but discarded it, since though the weapon would likely prove extremely effective, the technology to create such a weapon did not yet exist - the closest parallel that Dolan could think of was one from his own universe, one that he did not have the schematics for; the Spiderbot was a highly experimental unit and its blueprints were a tightly guarded secret.
Dolan's second idea was also disgarded quickly - nuclear missiles were by far weaker than the photon and quantum torpedoes that the Federation possess.
The third idea that came to Dolan's mind was, to him at least, genius. He immediately took out a PADD and began drafting a plan for a kinetic-based weapon, a railgun, a weapon that was common knowledge in the UEF. His reasoning for this was that most ships relied on their shields as their main defense against enemy weaponary. The projectile fired from a railgun takes advantage of this as it would be accelerated to speeds that would very likely penetrate through the shields immediately and, since most ships were additionally not heavily armored, severly damage the targeted vessel. However, since Dolan was basing his idea off UEF designs, which were not designed to work in a space environment, it would take sometime to make all of the necessary adjustments to construct a working model. As such, he finished plotting out most of the weapon's design before putting his PADD away and checking the viewscreen, observing the variety of ships that the fleet was composed of.

Commodore Taurik - Bridge, Flagship Radiant Thunder
Taurik nodded silently, in a fashion that made it obvious his mind was elsewhere. He gazed at the viewer as the Thunder, leading a Federation fleet thirty-seven ships strong, dropped from FTL speeds. The main viewer depicted a titanic battle in the opening stages. The Heraan fleet had arrived, but by the look of the battle, minimal damage had been caused on either side. A combined fleet of Gallifreyan battlecruisers, Romulan warbirds, and Cardassian destroyers held their own against the pounding of a large line of Heraani warships.
A communication came in from the lead Gallifreyan vessel. "This is Master Temlaa, Mundokiir of the First Defense Fleet of Gallifrey. By Adun, you've arrived just in time!"
Taurik opened a channel to the entire combined Federation and Alliance fleets, as well as the Gallifreyan flagships accompanying them. "All ships, move into formation and target Heraani attackers. Fire at will."

"Raszagal, you got lead. You know your way around here more then we do." Balkazar told her.
"Corporal, get the marines to stock up on gear. Then hop into the Puma's. We will need to travel fast and hard once Raszagal gets her bearing." Balkazar added.
"Yes sir." the Corporal said as he quietly went about his business.

Lieutenant Dolan - Battlefield on Outskirts of Antioch, Gallifrey
The Normandy crew joined the marines in finishing off the remaining Heraani soldiers on the battlefield. After that was taken care of, the marines and the crew met up to discuss their next move. The Gallifreyans had largely withdrawn from the battlefield once the fighting was finished, heading off to another area where the Heraan had attacked. A small group still remained with the marines and the crew when the meeting began.

Apprentice Alexia - Inside Antioch
<Alexia jumped from the Pelican using her powers to slow her decent, she lightly glided to the ground gracefully while in the same motion drawing her khala readying herself for any Heraan who may be about>
"Master, we should be moving soon. The Heraan would have seen the crash and sent patrols, im sure of it." Alexia said holding her khala while in a defensive stance.

The ship was quickly manuevered and soon joined the modest fleet of ships that Admiral Karelia had gathered. Dolan received a copy of the unclassified data the ship had received from Avalon Station. The coordinates of Galifrey were set so that the ship could go to warp there in a moment's notice. Dolan then read through the information and furrowed his eyebrows as he did so. The situation was going to be very difficult to overcome.

"Commodore, Its a couple of hours before the fight and Im wandering why does the Gallifreyan's need the marines along with a marine ship? I know in my absense I wasnt told everything but since im back a small briefing could be in order? Also, That Raszagal said something ammusing about me commanding the Rivendell." Simon said and could also be seen smiling at the thought. "But anyways, this is a marine vessel and I would like to know what part are we going to play in this scheme of things?" Rajnus casually asked.

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
The Normandy fought off a swarm of Heraani fighters, with some help from the Normandy's shuttlecraft. By now, the Normandy had woven its way deep into the front lines, doing its best to guard the capital ships from the worst of enemy fire. Before the shuttlecraft could return to the safety of the Normandy's hanger bay, a full spread of torpedoes hit the Normandy. The ship rocked violently and the shuttlecraft were forced to abort landing, instead turning to confront a squadron of Heraani fighters that were approaching from the ship's aft. Before the Normandy could manuever its way to help aid the shuttlecraft, another spread of torpedoes slammed into the Normandy. Dolan quietly cursed the ship's unluckiness in the battle so far as he saw that the forward shields were close to collapse as a result of the last torpedo hits. Even so, the ship's phasers continued to fire constantly, with full spreads of torpedoes flying from their launchers toward the enemy as soon as they were reloaded.
Suddenly, two more squadrons of Heraani fighters targeted the Normandy. Dolan continued to mutter a stream of swears as the Normandy came under heavy fire. The ship shuddered violently under their concentrated fire. Dolan calculated with complete certainty that, even with the most positive possible variables accounted for, the forward shields would completely collapse in 4 minutes, with aft shields following 3 minutes after.

Techerakh stepped from the open troop bay into the cockpit, and caught the pilot's attention. "Pilot," he said, "divert course, take us into the heart of Antioch."
The pilot turned, looking at Techerakh like he was crazy. "Sir, the city is chock-full of baddies. We'll never make it in there alive!"
"Do it anyway."
"Master Techerakh, I'm not gonna--"
Techerakh took a step toward him, his eyes piercing the pilot's stare. "I won't say it again, human," he said softly through a clenched jaw. The pilot hesitated for a moment, then turned back to the controls, and swerved the dropship from it's escape course and toward the center of the city.

Acting Commodore Taurik - CO's Office, Flagship Radiant Thunder
Taurik looked at the screen with the neutral, emotionless stare of a Vulcan. "You are here," he said, "because Gallifrey's defense will require every ship and every soldier we can muster. Sadly, captain, the primary responsibility of every captain in this fleet, to protect the lives of their crew, is now secondary. I know humans will find this difficult to accept, but individual lives are unimportant here. The fate of the entire galaxy hinges on the salvation of the Gallifreyan Order. If they are destroyed, the Na'jigat will be unchecked, and our doom will be inevitable."
Taurik sighed, something uncharacteristic of his people. "It's not an idea I prefer myself, but it could prove necessary. So you are here, captain, because you or any member of your crew may be the one to tip the scale in our favor. And if you are not, frankly, you might die to protect the one that does."

Master Techerakh - Command Chamber, Gallifreyan flagship Prodigal Son
"Warm the lines and prepare to fire!" Techerakh projected to his crew. The crew of the Prodigal Son was one of the finest in the fleet, his vetrakiir having turned down commands to remain at his master's side. He had full confidence that if only one ship were to survive this fight, it would be the Prodigal Son.
Suddenly, a communication came in. As usual, it was the psionic emanations of one of the Gallifreyans on the surface, amplified by the ship's own communications equipment so as to be detectable by everyone in the command chamber. "This is Chronicler Aldazar! The Heraan are planetside, and are tearing through our numbers here. Most of us nearby are only historians, we're not powerful enough to fight them off!"
Techerakh was shocked. He signaled to his vetrakiir to take command, and to three of his best Templar, and left for the hangar bay.

Ill be that distraction. The 'Fenix' moves quick enough to orbit the Iroquois while your at full throttle. I can provide the distraction needed.

Lieutenant Dolan - Troop Bay, Pelican Dropship Charlie 0-2-2
Dolan did not question Master Techerakh's course change, though he called out, "So where are we headed now?"
The Pelican began to make unusual manuevers as it dodged weapons fire from the surface as they approached Antioch and at the same time attempting to maintain stability since the troop bay doors were locked in an open position, leaving anyone there struggling to maintain their footing while defending against any weapons fire that made it into the troop bay. While Dolan and the Council members found it easier to adjust, the marines and the Admirals experienced some difficulty staying upright.
Suddenly, as the Pelican entered Antioch's perimeter, it shook violently, almost throwing one of the marines out of the ship. A piercing beeping noise rang throughout the Pelican.
The pilot yelled out, "We've been hit! We'll be able to make it to the center of the city, but the trip is going to be one way! Get ready to jump on my command!"
The Pelican began a slow, thankfully somewhat stable, descent toward the city. Suddenly, it tipped into a nose-dive as it neared the city's center.
"NOW!" Everyone in the doomed Pelican leaped from the ship as it crashed into the city, distracting fighters nearby. Dolan took a quick head count and was satisfied that everyone had survived the jump. Everyone then gathered near the remains of the Pelican, in order to determine what to do next.

Master Taurik - Outer Courtyard, Citadel of Adun
Taurik and the strike team made their way unhindered to the very base of the majestic Citadel. The captain had expected more resistance to their approach, considering the amount of enemy infantry that had entered the city. However, as he had expected, Taurik saw four elite guards at the entrance to the Citadel itself, and all of them had their eyes trained on the Gallifreyans.
Taurik and the other psionics began approaching the Heraan, weapons at the ready, when the Heraan surprised them by leaving their weapons deactivated. The sentinel thought it was surely a ruse, until the lead guard spoke directly into the minds of all of them. "Lower your weapons," it demanded. "The warmaster wishes to see you."
When the four guards stood aside, framing the entrance to the Citadel with two to a side, Taurik deactivated his weapons reluctantly and led the team into the Citadel itself.

Acting Commodore Taurik - Bridge, Flagship Radiant Thunder
Taurik pressed a comm-button on the hovering console next to his command seat. "All ships, this is Captain Taurik. Plot your courses; heading 348 by 016. Engage at maximum cohesive speed."
Taurik was slightly annoyed to be slowed down by some of the slower ships in the fleet, knowing that to maintain that cohesive speed he mentioned, the faster ships like the Thunder would need to keep pace with the lesser ships. The Radiant Thunder could outrun any ship in Starfleet pretty easily, as could the Gallifreyan cruisers, but leaving them behind would leave them vulnerable to Heraani flank attacks.
Taurik spun to face the viewer. "Helm," he said, "set course to the aforementioned heading and adjust slipspeed to match the fleet."

Lieutenant Jeff Stevens - Bridge, Flagship Radiant Thunder
Stevens plied the helm controls of the Gallifreyan/Starfleet hybrid vessel, still amazed at the efficiency and complexity of her systems. Even the most rudimentary quantum slipstream drive was decades beyond Starfleet, and this ship had the most efficient and well-tuned drive core he could imagine. The ship was a joy to pilot.
Therefore, he was almost disappointed when the captain yielded the bridge to him. He would enjoy commanding the ship for a while, sure, but there was something about flying a ship himself that he always loved. Stevens stood from the helm seat, and moved aft to occupy the command seat, as the captain entered the lift. Which, he mused, was a bad name for them, as the "turbolifts" aboard the Thunder were actually site-to-site teleporters, which transported one or more crewmen to a corresponding unit on another deck. As the captain entered it, Stevens could make out the word "transporter room". Apparently, the captain was going somewhere...
Master Taurik - Hangar Deck, Gallifreyan flagship Prodigal Son
Taurik materialized within the cavernous hangar of the Gallifreyan capital ship, already aware of the crisis on the planet's surface. He had heard the Chronicler's plea for help as well as Techerakh, or the others gathered there.
"I assume you all heard the message as well?" Techerakh asked. "In the panic of their thoughts, I was able to glean from the historians an idea of who we're against down there. I saw the Heraani warmaster, Ar'Krakh. He is leading an assault on Antioch itself, one that seems to be succeeding. I needn't remind you of the threat we face. Both the Spire and the Citadel are under siege, and all reports say that Ar'Krakh will seize Antioch within the hour, given his current pace."
Taurik spoke up. "I assume you have a plan, Techerakh?" The master Templar nodded. "I do. I have already signaled Admiral Karelia. His vessel will be our ingress method. In the chaos of this battle, none of us could center ourselves, to teleport ourselves there, and our ships are caught in battle. Only his ship, the Cardinal Virtue, stands a chance of making it to the surface alive if the Heraan detect it."
Stevens plied the helm controls of the Gallifreyan/Starfleet hybrid vessel, still amazed at the efficiency and complexity of her systems. Even the most rudimentary quantum slipstream drive was decades beyond Starfleet, and this ship had the most efficient and well-tuned drive core he could imagine. The ship was a joy to pilot.
Therefore, he was almost disappointed when the captain yielded the bridge to him. He would enjoy commanding the ship for a while, sure, but there was something about flying a ship himself that he always loved. Stevens stood from the helm seat, and moved aft to occupy the command seat, as the captain entered the lift. Which, he mused, was a bad name for them, as the "turbolifts" aboard the Thunder were actually site-to-site teleporters, which transported one or more crewmen to a corresponding unit on another deck. As the captain entered it, Stevens could make out the word "transporter room". Apparently, the captain was going somewhere...
Master Taurik - Hangar Deck, Gallifreyan flagship Prodigal Son
Taurik materialized within the cavernous hangar of the Gallifreyan capital ship, already aware of the crisis on the planet's surface. He had heard the Chronicler's plea for help as well as Techerakh, or the others gathered there.
"I assume you all heard the message as well?" Techerakh asked. "In the panic of their thoughts, I was able to glean from the historians an idea of who we're against down there. I saw the Heraani warmaster, Ar'Krakh. He is leading an assault on Antioch itself, one that seems to be succeeding. I needn't remind you of the threat we face. Both the Spire and the Citadel are under siege, and all reports say that Ar'Krakh will seize Antioch within the hour, given his current pace."

Admiral Karelia - Cockpit, Cardinal Virtue
Karelia swerved the flight sticks of the blockade runner frantically, trying to dodge plasma bolts and torpedoes. Unfortunately, he'd only done a marginal job, and the shields were beginning to weaken, with several fighters still on their tail yet.
Suddenly, a torpedo from one of the larger interceptors slammed into the tail of the Cardinal Virtue, and knocked both thorium engines offline. "Damn!" came Karelia's curse at the loss of the engines. "We're in freefall. I've got almost no control. Hang on everyone, I'm going to try to bring us down, but it won't be pretty!"
The Virtue's pursuers, confident with their kill, veered off, and the small ship fell into the planet's atmosphere. The form of the city of Antioch was becoming visible as the ship penetrated the upper clouds, a mix of black and faint green smoke trailing behind. Will pulled up hard on the sticks, but the ship barely responded, only able to nose up slightly. By the time the ship started coming near the ground, it was sufficiently level, but still traveling far too quickly, and the ship wasn't designed for unpowered atmospheric descent, and had no airbrake of any kind.
"Hold on, everyone!" Will said, gritting his teeth, as the ship started hitting the upper jungle canopy. The trees fell easily before the Virtue's sharp leading edges, but the vessel finally hit the ground, and the entire occupancy was thrown violently to the floor. By the time the ship ground to a halt, it was buried a full twelve feet into the planet, only the upper half and rear of the ship exposed.
Will pulled himself to his knees, and helped Julia do the same. "Are you alright?" he asked, and after getting a weak nod from her, he looked around with sorrow at his ship. Soil and earth was already piling in through the ruined cockpit, and a quick inspection of the ship revealed damage in every room. He thumbed the control to drop the rear ramp, and the hatch thankfully complied. As beautiful as the sun looked and felt on Will's shaken body, it was nothing that helped ease the loss of his vessel.

Master Taurik - Primary Antechamber, Citadel of Adun
While each of his companions engaged one of the Heraani elites, Taurik and Ar'Krakh stared one another down for a few moments. Ar'Krakh's tattered cloak waved slowly in the subtle breeze making it's way through the Citadel. The leader of the entire Heraani armada was a tall, lithe figure, his eyes glowing a hot blue with his rage and zealotry. Taurik regarded his talent with respect, and somehow, he knew Ar'Krakh held the same respect, despite their animosity.
"I must admit," Taurik projected, his khala glowing with nearly the same blue as that of Ar'Krakh's eyes, "it will bring me great honor to battle the leader of our most hated enemy." Ar'Krakh would have cracked a devious grin, had he a mouth to grin with. "And it will bring me great pleasure to kill the leader of ours," he replied.
At nearly the exact same moment, the two warriors leaped into one another, their blades raised and their attentions focused. Ar'Krakh was a legendary psionic, infamous for both his psychic power and his skill with an energy blade. Taurik was aware of his own power, but never having faced a Heraan of such ability, he was taken a bit off guard.

Dolan rolled his eyes at the Admiral's message. Telling people they were going to die for a purpose doesn't change the fact that they're going to die.
~But if that makes people feel better about death, then so be it~ Dolan thought to himself. In any case, the fleet was preparing to go to warp at Fleet Commodore Taurik's command.

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
"Understood," replied Dolan, "But may I suggest that the fleet's ships deploy their shuttle craft? They may not be designed for battle, but it seems we will need every phaser blast we can get."
The ship arrived at the planet's surface shortly after breaking formation and the marines were deployed. They were going to be on their own for the duration of the battle and possibly after that. As the Normandy rejoined the fleet, its phasers began to fire at several Heraani fighters that were concentrating on a Gallifreyan battlecrusier. Before the fighters could react, one of their number was destroyed and two others badly damaged. Two dozen Heraani fighters changed their direction and headed directly for the Normandy.
"Fighters inbound!" exclaimed Dolan, in an unnecessary warning to the rest of the bridge crew.

Lieutenant Dolan - Escape Pod Landing Zone, Gallifrey
The Normandy crew managed to hold off the Heraan long enough for the Pelicans' to arrive and clear the hill of most of the charging Heraan. The remaining Heraan appeared to be regrouping, which would hopefully give the crew enough time to board the Pelicans and leave. As the Pelicans' landed, small groups of the crew pulled back from the front lines, retreating into the Pelicans, with the injured going in first, with increasing numbers retreating as the battle entered a period of silence. After a few minutes, the entire crew had manage to enter the Pelicans and the Pelicans lifted off, leaving an group of Heraan that were probably not very happy with their prey getting away.
After a rather brief trip, the Pelicans began to descend. As Dolan got off the Pelican, he realized they had arrived at the marines' landing zone. He contacted Colonel Balkazar for further orders.
=/\= Lt. Dolan to Col. Balkazar. The Normandy crew has safely arrived at the marines' landing zone. What are your orders for us here? Dolan out. =/\=

Over time, the Federation has had many battles, many wars, but none will be as tough as what we are about to face.

Fleet Director Narsh - Delta Alliance Command Ship
Comms Officer: Sir, Incoming communication from the Federation Fleet. its Admiral Julian.
=^=Admiral Julian to any Delta Alliance fleet members. Please respond. Are you still out there?=^=
Helms Officer: Coming out of warp sir.
*Just under 100 ships were simultaniously coming out of warp at the flank of the Heraani fleet. However it was not the Heraani reinforcments like Admiral Julian had thought. The ships were a combined fleet of the Delta Alliance and the Borg. Although seemingly strange since, before the Heraan, the Borg were the Delta Alliances biggest threat, they had come together as one and somehow managed to get around the huge battle and attack the Heraani from behind.*
Comms open a channel with the Admiral.
=^=Fleet Director Narsh to Admiral Julian, fear not. With the help of the Delta Alliance you shall win this war.=^=

Admiral Will Karelia - Crash Site, Antioch Presidium
Will had, within only the past few minutes, developed a terrible migraine. He was not prone to headaches, and considering their proximity to the Citadel and the sounds of combat he had begun to hear from inside, he came to the startling conclusion that the pure psychic power being released within was affecting him. His vulnerable mind was likely unable to effortlessly handle the excess psionic emanations. He pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to squint away the discomfort.
"We should get out of here," he said, fatigued. "Comm traffic says the marines are clearing out the rest of the city." Will offered his good arm to Julia, helping her up from her seat on the floor of the crashed transport. "I'll radio for pickup. Honestly, we're no good down here. It's up to the Gallifreyans now." He pointed to the signs of battle high above, still visible through the dimming evening sky. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I belong up there."

Dolan relayed Balkazar's orders to the pilots. He hopped back into the Pelican and the Pelicans took off, heading for the battlefield at full speed. The Pelicans soon landed on the outskirts of the battlefield, so the Pelicans weren't in danger of being hit. The crew disembarked the Pelicans, still armed from their brief skirmish with the Heraan and headed out for the marines' location.

Lieutenant Dolan - Presidium District of Antioch, Gallifrey
Dolan nodded. He was somewhat unsure how marines and Starfleet ranks mixed, but, since he knew far less about what was going on at the moment than Raszagal or the Council members apparently did, he did not argue with Raszagal's request. Dolan then adjusted his phaser rifle and followed the Council members as they moved off.
Dolan had received the impression the Council members were going to rescue someone or something from a place they called the "Citadel", but was still very much in the dark about the situation. Dolan decided that the Council members would divulge information when they thought it would be necessary.

They had always looked down upon personal attachments and relationships. That was why she had been forced to break up even her relationship with---
No. She was not going to think of that right now.
Fighting the Heraan was in everyone's best interest, even those of Cardassia. She was going to try her hardest. The Order was not going to miss one single thing going on there, on the battlefield. She was aware that she was risking her life, but that was something one got used to after so many times.
On her post, on the bridge, she sat in her chair, waiting.

"Captain, aft shields are failing and -" Dolan was cut off as the ship shuddered from several hits by the pursuing Heraani vessels.
Suddenly, the computer rang out a warning, "Warp core has been compromised. Warp core breach in 1 minute."
Dolan swore as he heard those words and he quickly set the tactical controls on automatic firing. As he was leaving, Dolan took a brief look around the bridge. Debris covered the bridge and the medical team was helping as many people as they could to the escape pod. The remaining bridge crew, aside from the captain, was fleeing from the flames that had erupted at several areas of the bridge. Dolan then turned and headed for an escape pod himself. As he reached it, the computer gave another warning.
"Warp core breach in 45 seconds," said the computer. Dolan entered an escape pod and directed as many people as he could inside. Once it was full, Dolan took over the escape pod's navigation and set course for Gallifrey, to the last know coordinates of the marines, before ejecting the escape pod. He carefully directed the escape pod away from the Normandy and its pursuing ships. Dolan then set a complicated course into the navigation controls in order to put the escape pod in a minimal amount of danger while getting it to Gallifrey as fast as it could.

Lieutenant Dolan - Outskirts of Antioch, Gallifrey
Dolan noted Raszagal's brief outburst with another Gallifreyan with mild interest. He was unaware of Raszagal's position with the rest of Gallifreyans, not having the time to check, nor the interest. However, he was surprised that there was so much outward hostility toward her. Even the other Gallifreyans that had stayed with the marines were showing subtle signs of hostility, or at least great disapproval or dislike, toward Raszagal. He mused about this as he continued to scan the horizion for the arrival of the Cardinal Virtue's survivors...or arriving Heraani forces.
After another brief scan, Dolan looked at a nearby screen that displayed the situation throughout the planet and in space. He wished briefly that he was able to view the space battle, but since the battle was taking place in the space between Gallifrey's sun and the planet, he was unable to because of the sunlight. He shrugged this thought off as he looked at the situation reports.
The space battle was still not progressing completely to the Gallifreyan's favor; at best, it would be a Pyrrhic victory for the Heraan if the battle progressed as it was, even with the Normandy's sacrifice. The Gallifreyans' and their allies' ships just could not do enough damage before their ships were either critically damaged, destroyed, or confronted with several waves of Heraani fighters.
The battles on the planet were progressing marginably better, though projections indicated that only a fraction of the Gallifreyan population would survive the conflict, estimated at 15%, and that was without factoring the more than likely possiblity of Heraani reinforcements. The Heraan just outnumbered the Gallifreyans on all fronts, often overwhelming the Gallifreyans with only sheer numbers.
An urgent beeping sound indicated that the Federation just lost two more ships in the space battle. Dolan grimaced, certain that the Heraan's victory was only being delayed at this point.

Techerakh deactivated his khalai and returned them to his belt. He watched as the marines began to patch their wounded, and addressed the gathered commanders. "I feel the need to remind you all that we have a task to complete. Ar'Krakh is still within the Citadel, and we must make our way to him."
Taurik nodded. "I concur. We must proceed. Ms. Raszagal, you've proven yourself most capable, and I am aware of your previous reputation as a powerful Templar. We would appreciate if you would join us."
Raszagal nodded in respect to the Master Sentinel and replied, "I would be honored to join, but I wish to bring some of my companions. Four should do, any more are in danger of being exposed." The major paused for a moment. "Vasquez," she said, pointing to each as she called their name, "Simpson, Keller, and Dolan. They're all some of the best in their field, and they'll be of great help, even if they aren't psionics."
Taurik appeared to be ready to protest, but stopped himself before he spoke. Being a Starfleet captain, he obviously could respect the abilities of his Federation compatriots on the battlefield. His experience with the Order wouldn't have changed that. "Very well," Taurik announced. "Myself, my fellow masters and their apprentices, as well as the chosen Federation personnel will proceed toward the Citadel. I need not remind anyone that the fighting will be extreme. Steel yourselves."
With that statement, the chosen warriors departed, their group consisting of Masters Taurik, Techerakh, and Legudon, the apprentices Alexia and Raszagal, as well as Lieutenants Dolan and Simpson, Staff Sergeant Vasquez, and Lance Corporal Keller. The remainder of the Starfleet and marine personnel bunkered down around and within Charlie 0-2-2, with the hopes that there would be no notable Heraani retaliation.

**Julia felt terrible taking the assistance from Will, she knew he was in much more pain than she was. But rather than argue she took his help up.**
"Agreed sir." **Julia felt slighty awkward being so formal with Will, however she was at a true loss for words She wanted to grab him and tell him how much she loved him. She wanted to tend to his wounds and stay by his side until he made a complete recovery. But before lovers, they are starfleet officers. Which is paramount over any relationship.**

My Office, Station Avalon
*While reading a live manuscript of the current meeting taking place in the conference room, the Admiral notices the offices of the Iroquois enter his office and greet him accordingly.*
Welcome Captain, Commander, (insert other officers here >.<). Good job on the Borg frontline. Your efforts have greatly helped alot of the Traquel and your discovery of the Borg's emitter gave the Droid Nexus the upper hand against the defence of our systems.
Before you speak you may wonder 1 how I already know whats happened and 2 why those ships are out there. Because of the pressing matters at hand I retrieved the data from the Iroquois the second you docked. Thsoe ships are why I must make this debriefing quick.
*Julian then glances over to his screen and quickly catches up on what he missed in the conference room while he spoke. He then points his focus back at the officers still standing infront of him.*
This debriefing will be quick. I now request that you see your family and your loved ones. Pack up anything you may need. It looks like we may be gone for a while. I say nothing further on whats happening and you are not to say anything as of yet to anyone else. All you may know is that this may be our last mission.
*Julian then looks over again at his screen and does more catching up while waiting from the response from the Iroquois crew. He has a look of urgency on his face and his words made him sound like he was in a hurry to be somewhere else*

Lieutenant Dolan - Corridor inside Space Cannon, Heraani Border World
Dolan led the team he gathered through the breach in the walls of the facility housing the space cannon. After consulting his tricorder, he led his team through several corridors, dodging groups of Heraan racing to the breach. A dozen more corridors later and the team had arrived safely and undetected at the secondary control room. Fortunately it was unguarded and empty and the team quickly secured the room while Dolan searched for the console that controlled the power supply to the whole facility.

Major Raszagal - Gallifreyan/Heraan battle site
Raszagal evaded a few bolts of plasma fire, drawing her hand phaser in her left hand, her khala still in the other. She took cover, along with a few other marines, behind the overturned Puma, ducking in and out to take phaser shots at the Heraan. It occurred to her, however, that her shots were futile, as she was pinned down too well, and her shots were so rare that the Heraan she fired at had time to replenish their body shields.
"Stand back," she muttered to the marines taking cover with her. She gathered all of her power, and waited for the Heraan to draw near. Suddenly, the Puma was launched at the approaching hostiles after Raszagal unleashed a powerful psionic blast in that direction. The truck's weight killed the Heraan on contact, shattering their sizable bodies as if they were made of cardboard.
By this time, the remaining armed Pumas were making circles around the Heraan, firing inward on their position, while the transport Pumas had already offloaded their passengers and were parked safely away from the battle. The Gallifreyans saw this as an opportunity to move in on the battle and assist their Federation allies. Raszagal spotted one Templar in particular who was battling with, and struggling against, a rather powerful Heraani elite. She immediately dashed toward them, intercepting a deadly blow with her own khala and enabling the templar to finish the elite off.
With her back pressed against the templar's own, she asked: "Are you injured?"
"No," came the reply, and Raszagal immediately recognized the voice. It was Telkar, one of the other initiates that was trained alongside Raszagal, before any of them were taken on by masters. It was her and Telkar alone that were considered for training by Master Techerakh himself, and that had caused a rivalry between them, both vying to train alongside the Senior Master of the Templar. In the end, as things had occurred, Raszagal came out ahead.
"Telkar?" she asked, spinning to face him. It was her mistake, as a Heraan closed behind them, and Telkar barely managed to knock Raszagal out of the way before the alien crushed her skull. Removing it's target caused the Heraan to lose balance and tumble to the ground. As it started to get up, Telkar threw his khala into the creature's armor, and it fell to the ground, silently screaming in pain as the weapon flew back to it's user's hand.
"We can talk later, Raszagal," came Telkar's annoyed response. "Until then, keep your mind on the battle."

Master Taurik - Jungles of Gallifrey
Taurik and the rest of the Gallifreyan strike team were moving swiftly but stealthily through the jungles, the two Federation admirals close behind. The Vulcan feared that they may be heavily fatigued at this point, struggling to keep up with the Gallifreyans' superior speed and physique.
It was only as they exited the jungles that they could make out the skyline of Antioch, and could see the pinpricks that were the allied entrenchments just within the borders of the city. To Taurik's horror, he saw a large Heraani detachment, complete with artillery, between them and Antioch. By the looks of it, the Heraan were preparing to catch the Federation and Gallifreyan forces off-guard, with an attack on their weakened rear flank.
"They won't survive that assault," said Legudon succinctly. Taurik turned his head to look at his master-turned-colleague. "They must," he replied, "or we've no chance of retaking Antioch, and Gallifrey will be lost."
Techerakh lit his twin khalai. "Then it is up to us to carve a bloody swatch in the Heraan's wretched numbers!"
Taurik placed a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Patience, Techerakh. I would like nothing better than to wipe them rom this world with a swing of my blade, but strategy is in order here. Are there many elites among them? Any that could detect our stealth approach?"
"I doubt it," came Legudon's answer. "Only a Field Commander can reliably detect the presence of a stealth operative."
"Then we will sneak upon them, and rid them of their artillery before they have a chance to use it."
The four Gallifreyans resumed their psionic camouflage technique, dashing at full speed until they were within earshot of the Heraan, then reducing their speed to a light-footed walk. They crept up behind the Heraani lines, each targeting one of the heavy artillery tanks the Heraan used to bombard enemy positions. They were able to actually climb aboard the tank, and locate it's pilot. Then, with the force of his mind and will alone, Taurik violently entered the mind of the Heraani pilot, blocking off all telepathic communication, and willingly destroying the mental mechanics of it's mind. The Heraan, he could feel, was trying with all of it's might to scream it's pain outward to it's comrades, but Taurik's attack rendered it telepathically silent and physically immobile. He wreaked havoc upon the alien's mind, until it's head rolled back and it's face actually began to bleed in places from the extreme cranial pressure.
It was an attack that Taurik wished to never perform again, but he would do so again and again if it were required of him. He noticed the same look on his compatriots' faces, after they followed suit. With the four artillery tanks disabled, Taurik nodded to the others, and slid into the controls of the tank. He reversed it's forward motion, much to the surprise of the troops ahead. As soon as they turned to investigate, the four plasma tanks unleashed a deadly barrage into their own lines, decimating over half of the soldiers immediately. Taurik knew they would be easy prey in the confines of the tank's control seat, so he jumped upward and backward, flipping in midair an landing on his feet, fully visible.
While drawing his khala, he projected a short message to the allied forces within Antioch:

Lieutenant Dolan - Citadel of Adun
When the Heraan attacked, Dolan leapt backwards and began firing at the Heraan charging at him. Most of the shots missed, as Dolan didn't have time to compensate for his sudden change in position and shift his focus on his new target. As he landed, he began to run toward the grand hall backwards, continuing to fire at the Heraan. Once he passed though the entrance into the main chamber from the grand hall, he looked for several temporary hiding places, as his phaser rifle needed time to recharge. There were none in sight however, forcing Dolan to continue running.
The Heraan, however, was faster and caught up to Dolan before he could take more than a few steps. Dolan managed to dodge the Heraan's first swing and used his phaser rifle to deflect the second. Dolan quickly decided the only thing he could do at the moment was to deflect and dodge the Heraan's attacks until either it tired out or Dolan had a chance to escape. Since Dolan had not yet seen a Heraan tire out, it seemed as if Dolan's only option was to try to escape as soon as he could. As he dodged the Heraan's next couple of blows and deflected the next one, he saw his phaser rifle was slowly being torn apart. He could already see small cuts where the energy blade had made contact with the rifle.
Upon seeing this, when the Heraan made its next swing, Dolan ducked under it and pushed the Heraan up and back with his phaser rifle. As soon as its weight was off the rifle, Dolan swung it into position and fired it at the Heraan at maximum power repeatedly. Dolan continued to fire at the Heraan when it landed on its back, deciding not to risk the chance it had survived so many hits with the phaser rifle.
After firing steadily at the Heraan for a good half minute, Dolan stopped. The body was covered with phaser burns so severely and throughly, if the Heraan wasn't already dead, it would be very soon. Dolan gave the body a final phaser blast just to be safe before heading back into the main chamber to help the rest of the strike team.

"I am eager as well, brother. But we must give them time to prepare." Legudon turned to face the Starfleet commanders. "Gentlemen, Master Techerakh and I will retreat to our ships, and will leave for Gallifrey in one hour. We hope you will be ready by then."

The helm had the coordinates input and jumped to warp with the rest of the fleet. The Normandy's speed was then adjusted to match with the fleet. Dolan then began to watch the passive scans of the sensors to see if anything strange came up.

Dolan nodded absently at Rajnus's and Raszagal's conversation, continuing to muse about the upcoming battle. After several moments he asked, "Are the marines going to be used to try and board enemy vessels? If not, I suggest they be positioned in areas around the ship to contain any boarding parties."

Major Raszagal - Gallifreyan capital of Antioch
Raszagal was busy loading several containers into a Puma when she sensed Telkar approach behind her. She turned, and smiled at him. "Telkar," she said, "it's good to see you again."
Telkar did not return the smile. "I had not thought to see you on Gallifrey for a very long time," he said.
There was no obvious offense in his voice, but he was also devoid of any joy at seeing her.
"I thought the same," she said. "I'm glad my people are still willing to welcome me back."
At this last remark, Telkar was shocked, and his eyes narrowed. "Is that what you think we've done?" he asked. "Welcome you back? The council is accepting your help, that is all. We can use every soldier during this crisis... this crisis that you unleashed."
Raszagal's expression was as if she had been shot. "I guess I deserved that. Telkar, you don't have to remind me of what I've done."
Telkar's voice lowered, as he stepped closer. "Perhaps I do. I hope you realize that the death of every Gallifreyan lost today is a direct result of your betrayal. Their blood is on your hands. I told Master Techerakh your exile should have stood, even during this attack. You shouldn't be on this planet."
The female Gallifreyan stood straight at that remark, and looked Telkar in the eyes. "Their deaths are on the hands of the Heraan! Of Ar'Krakh! NOT mine! In case you didn't notice, I'm here drawing blade AGAINST those mongrels! I've done all I can to atone for my mistake, and I'll NOT have you treating me like some damned traitor for it!"
Telkar looked as if her were ready to spit in her face. "If I regarded you as one of them," he said through gritted teeth, "you'd already be dead."
"Is that a threat? Because we both know who was always the better swordsman..."
Both Gallifreyans' skins were turning a much deeper shade of purple, an obvious visible sign of their anger. It was at this point that Master Vetraas noticed the altercation and stepped over to them. "Telkar, Raszagal, you will cease this behavior at once," he ordered, regarding both of them. "It is unbecoming of Templar such as yourselves, and I will not have my warriors in conflict with one another during a time of war."
Raszagal's hands were balled into fists, and it took tremendous will for her to exhale deeply and unclench her hands. "As soon as this is over, Telkar, we shall deal with this. Until then, it's irrelevant." The robed Templar only nodded, his eyes still ablaze with latent anger.

Major Raszagal - Approaching Charlie 0-2-2 Crash Site
The marines rounded the last bend and saw the crash survivors locked in battle with the Heraan. Raszagal's team was in a prime flanking position, and she led her team silently toward the enemy positions. One of the Heraan spotted them, but Raszagal immediately sent a high-powered bolt from her sniper rifle into the creature's head. The remainder of the soldier's cranium that wasn't vaporized proceeded to explode into a plume of smoldering, purple ichor. This drew the attention of the Heraan force, and some of their numbers turned to engage their newest threat.
"Weapons free!" Raszagal called out, and her marines let fly a volley of phased energy fire. Several of the Heraan dropped in their tracks, and the rest dove for deeper cover. She noticed that several of the Heraan were close together behind a large section of debris. Raszagal dropped her sniper rifle, and pulled out both her hand phaser and a photon grenade. She began a dead sprint toward the Heraan, leaping into the air and landing directly on one of the Heraan. Swiftly, she primed the grenade and slammed it into a notch in the Heraan's armor. She then kicked away from the soldiers, using her psionic abilities to propel her much farther than an average jump could.
Landing hard on the stone road, she felt the shock through the ground as the grenade detonated, sending bodies and parts of bodies flying. The marines closed in, and finished off the few wounded Heraan that were left. One of her marines, Staff Sergeant Vasquez approached her after they had ensured that the Heraan were finished. "Ma'am," he greeted, "Corporal Bisenti took more than a few hits to the chest, and Private Willard lost his arm from the elbow and is bleeding out. We need medical facilities."
She helped the sergeant lift the wounded body of Corporal Bisenti, while two more hoisted Willard. They carried the two stricken soldiers to the crashed Pelican, and set them along the troop seats in the rear bay. "Anyone here a medic?" she called out.

Master Legudon - Citadel of Adun
Legudon drew his khala and immediately entered combat with the first Heraan that approached him. These Heraan were master swordsman, but Legudon knew where his own power truly was. He deflected the first attack and immediately threw a blast of psionic energy into the Heraan's midsection. It was thrown into the air and landed hard against a pillar. Legudon knew that his own skills with a blade, while impressive, were not on the caliber of someone like Techerakh or Taurik. If drawn into a long duel with one of these elites, he knew he would eventually lose.
The Heraan began to recover it's stance, and Legudon was immediately on top of him. He made several quick slashes, each deflected with seeming ease by the elite. The Heraan's eyes grew brighter, and it launched it's own psionic barrage on him. Fueled by unbridled rage, the attack threw Legudon across the whole of the antechamber, landing hard on the stone floor and losing his khala in the process. The Heraan jumped into action. By the time Legudon could get to his feet, the alien was at him, charging to run him through. Legudon ducked at the last moment, and then got to his feet as soon as the blade passed, grabbing the alien's weapon arm and throwing his body into the Heraan's own.
During this struggle, Legudon spotted his khala several meters away on the cold floor. He looked at it enough to concentrate a wave of mental energy to carry it to him, and grabbed it as soon as the it came near. Freed from one another, the two warriors were back on neutral terms, neither with the advantage. But before Legudon could move to tip the scales for him, the Heraan attacked. The ceaseless swipes and attacks by a warrior that was at least his equal were more than he could handle, and the Heraan made two final swipes, one severing Legudon's weapon hand, the other creating a sizable gash in his lower torso. The stricken Gallifreyan, lacking the strength to retaliate, fell to the floor. As the Heraan circled around him, Legudon said his final, private words, certain he would not live much longer.
"And now you see, Master, the power of faith in the Na'jigat. Your heresy has finally caught up to you, weakened you to the breaking point." The Heraan put his and slowly around Legudon's throat, and leaned in, eye-to-eye with him. "This day was long in coming, Legudon."The Heraan thrust his blade into Legudon's chest, and the Gallifreyan felt the life leaving him, and could feel death's embrace creeping around him slowly.
In only a few moments, Senior Master Legudon, head of the entire Sentinel caste of the Gallifreyan Order, was dead.

Lieutenant Dolan - Command Vehicle, Heraani Border World
An hour passed and there was no pause in the fighting. The ceaseless explosions were starting to pain several of the marine commander's ears, if their pained expressions were any indicator. Fortunately, most of the Heraani defenses were bombarded to rubble by now and the Heraan had made several tactical blunders in trying to root out the marines and so took heavy casualties. Progress toward the cannon was quickening and the marines would soon reach the walls of the cannon. From there, a breach of the wall was the most likely way the marines were going to get inside, as it seemed unlikely the Heraan were going to leave their door open. Dolan had identified the location of a secondary control room that was much closer than the main control room and the most recent scans indicated that it also controlled the cannon's reactors, both primary and secondary. He now just had to devise a way to cause a overload in all of the reactors that didn't require too much time, as it was unlikely the marines could hold even a small area of the vast complex for long, especially with Heraani reinforcement en route from a small military base on the other side of the facility.

"Yes, sir," Dolan said as he headed for his console. He contacts Admiral Karelia's ship and is shortly given the information that Rajnus requested. Once the download is complete, Dolan sent a copy of the information to the console by the Captain's chair and another copy downloaded to a PADD. He then motions to a nearby Ensign and has her take the PADD to Colonel Balkazar.
After doing so, Dolan assumed that the fleet was drawing close to Gallifrey, as ship-to-ship transmissions increased dramatically as time passed by. He wondered why the Gallifreyans wanted the marines to be transported to the planet for quite some time. He had no reason to believe that the Gallifreyans would harm them in any way, but desperation of situation was worried Dolan, as he had seen first-hand how that desperation would, in some people's minds, justify measures that would have never crossed their minds in other circumstances.

Field Elite Du'Nakh - Aboard Heraani transport skimmer
Du'Nakh took a moment to brush some dirt from the leg plates of his golden armor. He paced around the lines of other Heraan, wishing they were on solid ground. He didn't have a fear of flight, by any means, but rather felt at home on the ground, where he is most effective as a warrior. After hundreds of years, they had finally found and invaded Gallifrey itself, and he was stuck on this cramped troop transport.
"Contacts ahead," the pilot projected to the soldiers. "Prepare for insertion."
The transport could be felt slowing and swiveling so that it's hatch would face the enemy. The door opened, and Du'Nakh felt the warmth of the sun on his face as he leaped from the ship. As his troops lined up behind him, the elite surveyed the enemy. His acute vision could pick out the escape pods atop the hill, and the teal-collared officer who seemed to be in charge.
"Warriors!" he sent to get his team's attention. "We have our target."

Apprentice Alexia - Cardinal Virtue
<Alexia stood nearby with Legudon. She nearly feinted as she felt a disturbance in from both the Space battle raging above and Heraan on the ground>
"Master, the Federation is taking huge losses, I feel as if there is no hope and we are only delaying the inevitable." Alexia said with concern in her voice as she stared at her master.

Lieutenant Dolan - Charlie 0-2-2 Crash Site, Antioch, Gallifrey
Everyone set up positions, ready to take on any approaching hostiles. The situation was tense - the Pelican's sensors were too badly damaged to identify friend from foe and any remaining tricorders were either lost in the crash or damaged beyond repair.
When a small group of Heraan turned a corner and began approaching the crash site, everyone with phasers or some other long ranged weapon opened fire, taking the Heraan by surprise. When the Heraan headed for cover, the Council members literally leapt into action - Dolan could have swore they jumped over five meters. They landed just behind the enemy before turning around and finishing off a majority of the remaining Heraan. By this time, most of the weapons fire had ceased in order to avoid hitting the Council members, though shots were still fired at the Heraan that did managed to make it to cover.
Most of the rather short fight was over at this point, with only a couple of the Heraan putting up a rather strong resistance against the Council members. No one wanted to intervene, in case they disturbed the Council members from the battle, instead watching helplessly as the fight progressed.

"Captain," came the cool, synthetic voice of the Gallifreyan computer core, "you are receiving a transmission from the Starfleet vessel Normandy."
"Route it to my office," Taurik replied. He got up from his chair, into which a lieutenant commander occupied in his absence. He stepped into the office, and sat down at the beautiful desk, from which a completely holographic screen, with no physical frame, extended. The Federation logo could be seen on the screen, and Taurik "touched" the screen to activate the commlink. The face of Captain Rajnus appeared on the screen, sitting at what appeared to be his own ready room desk.
"This is Taurik. What can I assist you with, Captain?"

So sit down because I have a feeling that you are going to be telling me alot about your homeworld's terrain and position of your enclaves and such. Why dont we start by you telling me which enclave has priority if things go to hell which undoubtedly they will." the Col. said sitting down on a nearby crate.

Warmaster Ar'Krakh - Gallifreyan Citadel of Adun
Ar'Krakh began to feel an emotion that he had never before experienced, one that the Heraan had no word for. The Terran word for it was "fear". It was becoming more and more obvious to him that, despite his own nigh invulnerability, that Taurik, the leader of the Gallifreyans, their so called "Nil'kimas", was going to best him. Defeat was something Ar'Krakh had never known, and now that he began to suspect his own defeat was near, the thought of the Gods' retribution frightened him far more than Taurik's blade. And as if to confirm his fears, he heard their presence in his mind.
"It was too much to ask that you simply destroy their whelp of a figurehead. We have placed much trust in the Heraan, warmaster, and it seems that such trust was sorely misplaced."
Ar'Krakh began to feel a pounding feeling in every neuron of his extremely powerful mind, and suddenly, power as he had never known began to run through his body. He could feel the intense mental energy of the Na'jigat all around him, and was deathly afraid that they were killing him. The sensation was torturous, their energy coursing through him, every particle of his form burning as if it were actually ablaze. The pain was excruciating, but it also began to have another effect. It began to make him stronger.
His mind, however, was no longer his own. He was still completely self aware, but somehow, felt that his thoughts were being guided. The realization came to him... the Na'jigat were inside him, controlling him in a way, empowering him in another. As he fell upon Taurik once more, no longer did he fear his own defeat. In fact, he was certain of his impending victory.
He projected his mind's voice for all to hear, but it was not his own words that emanated therefrom. "I am Na'jigat!" screamed the warmaster, now visibly aglow with the psionic energy of the entirety of the Na'jigat collective consciousness.

Lieutenant Dolan - Antioch, Gallifrey
The fighting within Antioch was fierce and devastating. From where the Pelican crashed, Dolan could see that many of the buildings within the city had either been turned into rubble or were well on their way. The smell was disgusting: rotting corpses, burning flesh, smoke thick enough to step on. The cries of battle and of pain were loud and could be heard everywhere.
All the while, Dolan kept a watchful eye out for any approaching groups of Heraan. However, all the destruction seemed to be such a waste. The Council members had not yet voiced the group's destination, perhaps assessing the situation also.

Gallifreyan Master Legudon - Corridor, Starbase Avalon
Master Legudon stepped onboard the station, the Gallifreyan battlecruiser Tempest holding station near the starbase. This was the fourth Gallifreyan ship to arrive at the Starfleet outpost in the last six hours.
He reached out with his mind, and felt the presence of both Masters Techerakh and Taurik nearby. He sent a psychic message to the both of them. "Meet me on their command deck," he projected. "Our greatest fears are coming to pass."
Legudon made his way sternly to the Starfleet turbolift, and pressed the key that led directly to the command quarters. During the ride, the Gallifreyan master could not help but muse at the inefficiency of such an archaic method of travel. Eventually, he was deposited on the residential decks, and Legudon silently made his way straight to the correct door and, dispensing with the pleasantries, parted his hands and opened the door with a gentle psionic wave.
"We must converse," he said to the humans inside.

"Patience, apprentice. Undue haste will be the undoing of us all."
Legudon, Alexia, and Karelia arrived at the command deck, and entered the wardroom. Legudon stepped up to the presentation display, and began to call up records on the Na'jigat, as well as maps of the galactic core and the Gallifrey system.

Lieutenant Dolan - Space Cannon's Secondary Control Room, Heraani Border World
Dolan was soon done coding the virus and downloaded it into the main console in the secondary control room. After checking that it was done and leaving a backup virus in case the first one was detected and countered, he led his team back into the corridor. They took a longer route back, since many of the main corridors were rapidly filling up with Heraani soldiers hurrying to cover the new breaches that the marines' mortars had opened up. The group did encounter the occasional straggler, but they were quickly taken care of with a couple dozen phaser blasts to the chest and head. Soon, they had escaped the compound and rejoined with the other marines.
After giving a quick summary to the officers in the command vehicle, the marines began to pull out of the complex. A few signals to the Normandy notified them of their situation and would soon be on their way to pick up the marines. If Dolan's calculations were correct, the Normandy would have to arrive within the next ten minutes if they didn't want the marines to end up dancing in a rain of flaming debris, assuming they weren't vaporized by the initial explosion.

"I dont think Taurik is willing to allow us to have the Rivendell unfortunately. Its too late to ask such things, hes the Captain and is on the Rivendell is he not?" Rajnus asked Raszagal.
"Yes, your right it is a little bit of envy. I am a starfleet Captain and I have Captained quite a few starship's in my time and the Prometheus class is by far the most agile and diverse ship I have ever had the priveledge and honor to Captain. I just miss my old crew. I suppose its a human flaw, before a major battle, Captains like to remember their past. Oh, to Hope and Pray we come back alive too." Rajnus continued.
"As for the marines im not sure." Rajnus said. "Ill be in my ready room. Open a Channel to the lead ship and get me Taurik. I want to talk to him. Dolan you have the bridge." Rajnus said going to his ready room.
<Sitting down he turned his computer to face him waiting for the communications from Taurik>

Lieutenant Dolan - Main Controls, Escape Pod
Dolan's escape pod detected a massive explosion where the Normandy and numerous Heraani ships once were. Dolan himself hoped that everyone on the Normandy escaped the explosion. He sent a message to the marines about the status of the Normandy and its crew's destination.
=/\= Lt. Dolan to Marine Command Staff =/\=
The Normandy has been destroyed. Fortunately, the crew had time to make it to escape pods before its destruction. Its remaining shuttles are escorting its escape pods to Gallifrey and we should be arriving soon. Please send us your coordinates so we can meet up with you as fast as possible.

Dolan quickly check that the escape pod had enough weapons for everyone inside and was marginally relieved when he discovered it did. He then turned back to the navigation console and continued to update the pod's course to the planet as he awaited the marines' response.

Raszagal logged out of her console, and turned for the turbolift. Thankfully, the lift car was already at the top of the shaft, and the door opened as soon as she stepped near. The Gallifreyan entered the lift and pressed the appropriate key on the wall to take her to the marine hangar.
As soon as the lift deposited her on that deck, she stepped out and walked briskly to the bay. She located the form of the colonel deeper into the cavernous room, and gracefully approached him.
"You wished to see me, colonel?" she asked.

Master Taurik - Cardinal Virtue crash site
Taurik ensured everyone was uninjured after the Cardinal Virtue's crash landing, and then followed everyone outside. Admiral Karelia was visibly shaken by the loss of his vessel, but Taurik knew he'd put the distress aside for the time being.
"We need to call for evac," Karelia said. "The city--"
"No," Taurik said abruptly, noticing the admiral start a bit at being interrupted by his inferior. "The Heraan will notice any dropship sent for us, and will reach us first. Antioch is only a few kilometers away, we will have a better chance on foot."
"I agree," came Techerakh's input. "We know this world more intimately than any Heraan. I am confident we can evade them on foot. Via transport, I cannot make the same guarantee."
Without waiting for Karelia's response, Taurik continued. "Then it is settled. We will make for Antioch. Admiral, I suggest you gather any essential supplies from your ship, but we must travel lightly."
Lieutenant Stevens - Bridge, Radiant Thunder
Stevens gripped the arms of the command chair tight as the Thunder rocked hard under enemy fire. "Target all torpedoes on that destroyer!" he yelled.
The Thunder, battleship that she was, made a banked turn around the attacking destroyer, and two quantum torpedo turrets swiveled to meet the enemy's broadside. With a speed that astounded Stevens, each turret unleashed three torpedoes, and the salvo struck the Heraan's already weakened shields. The warheads found their mark, and the ship's superstructure began to glow as the chain reaction spread throughout it. And after a moment's hesitation, the ship burst into dozens of golden shards, with several thousand microfragments scattered in the midst.
The ship was graceful, yet possessed a power that even the Rivendell would be hard pressed to match. It made Stevens almost disappointed that he would eventually transfer back to that ship, because as beautiful as the ship was, and as at home as it made him feel, there would always be that envy of the Radiant Thunder in his mind.

Lieutenant Dolan - Citadel of Adun
Dolan almost let go of the khala when it sparked and started glowing. However, he realized quickly enough that it wasn't designed to injure the wielder and instead readjusted his grip into a more suitable position for defense. He calmed his mind in an effort to maintain control and focused on his opponent. This was relatively easy, as Dolan had faced many stressful situations in his life and had always needed to be extremely focused and concentrated.
The Heraan seemed somewhat surprised at the khala igniting, causing Dolan to almost be distracted, but the Heraan soon regained composure and charged at Dolan. Dolan deflected the blows as they came just millimeters from his body, in order to save energy in case the fight lasted longer than Dolan expected.
Survival was Dolan's sole goal at the moment, which was aided by Dolan's rapid reflexes and fast thinking. The Heraan seemed to realize this and began to increase the strength of its blows, trying to punch straight through Dolan's defenses. It seemed to get more frustrated as its kill was being denied to it and suddenly Dolan was knocked into the air by a psionic blast, something Dolan hadn't yet figured out a defense to. He managed to complete a flip and land on his feet. He stablized himself and prepared to defend against the charging Heraan's attacks. He distantly heard a shout from the Heraan warmaster but was too focused on the fight to hear it clearly.
The ferocious swings seemed less powerful than they were before and soon Dolan started to think the Heraan was tiring. However, he didn't let down his guard and began to search for any weaknesses in the Heraan's defenses that he could exploit as he continued to deflect the Heraan's attacks.

Fleet Admiral Will Karelia - Admiral Rellek's Quarters, Starbase Avalon
Will and Julia spoke at length after finishing their respective meals, and both of them were having an incredible time. Karelia stared into Julia's eyes as she spoke, lost in both her words and her gaze. After a moment, she stopped speaking, noticing him staring into her eyes.
When she smiled and gave a slight chuckle, he leaned in to her. "I love you," he whispered, and gave her a passionate kiss. And at the one time in his life when thoughts of duty was completely absent from his mind, the doors opened, and breaking their kiss quickly, both of the admirals squinted at the brightness of the intruding light of the corridor, which outlined a tall, black silhouette.
"We must converse," came the statement of the silhouette, the voice of whom sounded much like that of Master Legudon.
Will got to his feet immediately, "You can't just barge in here, Legudon!" he retorted. "This isn't Gallifrey, and some of us humans like our privacy!" Legudon glared. "Your petty mating rituals are unimportant right now, William," he said, somewhat impatiently. "The fate of my world, and yours with it, are in jeopardy."
Karelia's eyes widened. "You've got my attention."

Lieutenant Dolan - Space Cannon's Secondary Control Room, Heraani Border World
Dolan decided that he didn't have time to translate the Heraan that was written on all of the consoles and a guessing strategy was too risky. Dolan instead began to work on a simple virus that would infect the system and find the power systems itself. Once it does, the virus would trigger an overload in all of the reactors throughout the facility, which would almost certainly destroy the cannon. Dolan began to work on the virus and calculated that it would only take him 10 minutes, 15 tops.

Private Raszagal - Pelican Dropship Sierra-7-2-5
Raszagal slapped a control pad on the wall, releasing the seal on the door between the troop compartment and cockpit, and ducked carefully through the passage. In the cramped transport, bathed in the dim red light of the troop compartment, the chance of hitting one's head on the doorway was ever-present.
She stepped into the cockpit, and had to squint at the sudden brightness of the planet's reflected sunlight. Gallifrey was a beautiful world, paradise in almost every sense of the word, and the bright oceans and plains made the planet quite luminescent during the day.
"How far are we?" she asked the pilot calmly. The pilot turned his head, and answered: "We're about seven minutes from planetfall, ma'am."
Raszagal settled into one of the chairs behind the pilot, and called up an image of the landing force. There were nine Pelicans, arranged in a wedge, all carrying some variant of the Puma LRV (Light Reconnaissance Vehicle). Her ship was second on the right, just behind the lead ship Echo-1-1-7, the ship Colonel Balkazar was on.
She got up, and made her way back into the troop compartment, where twelve marines sat strapped into two banks of seats, six on each wall, both facing toward the center. "We'll be landing on Gallifrey in a few minutes," she said, addressing the marines on her boat. "Our LZ is right outside the capital city of Antioch, which has since been occupied by the Heraani military. My people have Templars on the ground as well, attempting to breach the enemy defenses to the city, but they'll need our help."
Raszagal then heard a sickening explosion, louder than any of those from the battle raging higher in orbit. She slammed her fist into a button that activated a small viewer on the wall, and is displayed a view from the aft of the dropship. She was shocked to see debris from a Federation starship, debris that was unmistakably from the U.S.S. Normandy.
She turned back to the marines. "And we'd might as well do our best down there," she said almost sarcastically, "because we don't have a ship to go back to."

Will was completely out of breath, but managed to force himself to continue running, trying to keep up with the Gallifreyans. It amazed them how they managed to run so far and so steadily, and not one of them had even broken a sweat. He was sure their psionic abilities had something to do with it, but even without them, Will knew the average Gallifreyan was in excellent shape, both quick and strong.
Suddenly, Legudon halted, and the rest came to a stop with them. "Hunting party," was all he whispered. All four warriors faded from view, their power allowing them to bend light itself away from their bodies, rendering them completely invisible.
Will felt like he should be doing something, but he was unarmed, and no match for a Heraan. He ducked down, and held onto Julia as they both tried to stay hidden and out of the way while the Gallifreyans engaged the Heraan.

Master Taurik - Citadel of Adun
Steadily and swiftly, the Heraani elites closed in and formed a line behind them, as if to be leading convicts to the electric chair. Taurik kept a psionic eye on them at all times. The Gallifreyans moved just as swiftly, and the procession moved quickly through the grand hall and toward the main chamber. Taurik remembered the chamber as if it were only the day before, as it was in this very chamber that he was first inducted into the Gallifreyan Order, as the first non-Gallifreyan to do so. This planet and it's structures were almost too familiar, he felt as if he had spent several lifetimes here, even though it had only been several years since he joined the Order. Although he would never forget his homeworld, somehow, Taurik regarded himself as a son of Gallifrey above all else. These people had a fire about them, a passion, long lost to his own people. He had read the ancient texts, seen how the Vulcans of old nearly tore themselves apart with their uncontrollable emotions, and was glad that his species had chosen the way of Surak. But he also longed for that passion, one that hinted at him occasionally but remained mostly dormant, and wished his people were capable of controlling themselves without complete emotional detachment.
The procession stopped, and the rear guard made their way around the strike team and flanked a fifth Heraan, taller but much more sparsely dressed. Where most Heraan wore the brilliant golden armor that had become feared and hated within Starfleet, this one wore only the most essential combat adornments, and was wrapped in much more plebeian clothing. Despite his outward appearance, his position, stance, and much more ornate weapon denoted him immediately as Ar'Krakh, warmaster and leader of the Heraan, and their emissary to the Na'jigat themselves.
The tall, slender alien stepped forward, his telepathic voice booming in the minds of everyone present. "So," he said, "I spend my time hunting you down, and you finally come to me. I applaud your efforts, all of you. The Gallifreyan Order has proven quite a capable and extremely bothersome enemy. I commend you on your successes, but I also feel compelled to inform you that it is all over. Gallifrey is mine. And you, my dear masters, whom I've grown so close to over the many decades, will not be leaving this Citadel alive."
Techerakh, the most passionate among them, was about to retort, when he noticed Taurik summoning a response, and deferred. "Warmaster Ar'Krakh," Taurik said aloud, in spite of Ar'Krakh who, as a Heraan, had no vocal chords. "I am Taurik of Vulcan, Senior Master of the Gallifreyan Order, and captain of the Federation starship Rivendell." He waited while Ar'Krakh sized him up; the unlikely, impromptu leader of the Order that he was. "I feel compelled, in return, to inform you that Gallifrey will not be lost without considerable bloodshed. Each and every one of us will fight to the death to keep this world from you."
"It does not need to come to that, young Taurik. I know how much you order cares for it's world, but I also know it cares for it's people. All we ask is that you submit to the will of the Na'jigat, and they will allow us to serve side by side. Taurik, our people could be brothers in our faith!"
"Slaves," Taurik replied sternly. "Your people are slaves to the Na'jigat, and you do not even see it. There is no future in the galaxy the Na'jigat desire. They will consume the lives and worlds and stars of anyone who stands in their way, and when there is no one left, they will turn to their own slaves for sustenance. And when the galaxy finally dies, darkened and drained, they will move to the next. As they did with Scion."
Ar'Krakh's blue eyes burned brightly in his anger. "You spew the lies of a heretic!" he screamed in their minds, painfully to those unprepared. "And if that is your creed, then you shall die the death of every other heretic before you! I will say it once more: submit to the will of the Gods, or suffer the dire consequences of defiance." Taurik searched for an appropriate answer as he and the others drew their weapons. He found only one suitable reply, in the annals of old Terran slang.
"Burn in hell."

Master Taurik - Citadel of Adun
Despite his greatly expanded power and almost limitless perception, Taurik was being forced onto the defensive. The Na'jigat, in direct possession of Ar'Krakh's body, were easily more than a match for him. It took every strand of concentration in order to just barely escape every attack by the creature. And that was just the physical aspect of the battle, for the Na'jigat were launching a psychic attack on him as well, furthering their advantage. Ar'Krakh was now simply faster, stronger, and more powerful.
"Your time is at an end," their collective consciousness screamed in his mind. "You will falter, and you will die. And then, our victory will be complete, and Gallifrey will be crushed." Taurik deflected two near simultaneous blows, his blade moving so fast that a normal human eye would see only a blur of pale blue energy. He was forced to employ his abilities to augment his natural speed, only to keep up with Ar'Krakh's enhanced skill. The other Gallifreyans were progressing well enoug in their own conflicts, but by the time they might be able to render any assistance, Taurik knew he would already be dead.
"Taurik," cried a voice that Taurik identified as that of Techerakh. "The Chalice!" And then it struck him. The only way Taurik was ever going to have a chance at defeating Ar'Krakh now was to even the playing field. And that required employing a technique that had only been used once, and unsuccessfully at that. It required the usage of the Chalice of Adun, the psionic unification of the entire Gallifreyan race.
Taurik was able to disengage from Ar'Krakh - with a swift and unexpected kick to the torso - long enough to pull the strange crystal from his robe. The crystal, dark when he first acquired it over a year ago, was now glowing the most vibrant purple that Taurik had ever seen. He forced all of his psionic will into the stone, and it began to glow even brighter, with an intensity that gave even the embodied Na'jigat pause. And then, all at once, it began. The crystal began to reach out, invisibly to bystanders, and touched the minds of every Gallifreyan, from the ones in the room with him, to the ones on the farthest reaches of the galaxy. Their consciousnesses, thoughts, feelings, and power all rushed to Taurik, indifferent to distance or isolation, and flooded him. He felt their presences so strongly that he began to lose himself in the torrent of thought that was cascading though his mind.
And when he was finally able to make sense of it all, his own individuality lost among the union, he opened his eyes once more. Techerakh and Raszagal had slumped to the floor, but before their attackers could take advantage of the situation, Taurik glanced at the once fearsome Heraani elites, and with the ease of a breath, reached into their mind and terminated them. The dead Heraan fell to the floor, as still as the Gallifreyans. Knowing that the two companions were safe, Taurik returned his attention to the Na'jigat.

Yes mam, the shields are at optimal capacity, i am still having a bit of trouble with a few power surges when i attempt to reroute power from the replicators to the news ablative armor power supplies, but as long as noone uses the replicators while the armor is active we shouldnt have any problems.

<Simon looked over the information and nodded>
"Tactical bring the modified shields and weapons to full power, standby repair teams, and keep a close eye on those sensors. I have a feeling we will be doing one of our quick fly by transports again." Rajnus told his crew as they scrambled to do their jobs.
"Dolan, any advice that you wish to share? no matter how drastic?" Rajnus asked him as he mentally prepared himself the best way he knew how.

Captain Rajnus - Bridge, USS Normandy
<The flames raged on around the bridge as the last of his crew was at the escape pods. Rajnus rushed to helm and inputed a course to head directly into the front lines of the Heraan fleet, the Normandy flew in with fire and debris flying everywhere, emergency forcefields in place and the Normandy flying as fast as she could towards the Heraan lines>
<The computer called out the warpcore would breach in 30 seconds and the Normandy was about 15 seconds away from the large heraan capital ship that loomed over the battlefield as a huge monolith. Torpedo's and phaser fire being directed at the Normandy to finish her off once and for all>
=^= "This is Captain Rajnus to any federation of Gallifreyan ship near my position, I will need a immediate transport in 15 seconds. I suggest you get me out of here. I am plotting a course right for the Heraan lines and the Normandy will have a warpcore breach in now 20 seconds. I repeat I need a immediate transport now!" =^= Rajnus said over a fleet wide communication.
<The Normandy flew closer to the center of the Heraan line where the damage would be more extreme, firing phaser and torpedo alike and recieving damage at the same time. Destroying the smaller ships with phaser fire and Damaging the cruisers and battleships with the Torpedo's, Rajnus rammed the Heraan ship he thought was the Heraan fleet's command ship. The Normandy was half destroyed when.......>
<The USS Amazon, came down like a angel from on high, flying close to the Heraan capital ship, and barely skimmed the fire and flying debris from both Heraan and the Normandy alike. In a aura of blue light, Rajnus was transported at the very last second as the Amazon raced to stay in front of the shockwave that was soon to insue>
<The Normandy rammed the Heraan Capitol ship and 4 seconds later after Rajnus was beamed off the Normandy's Warpcore breached and destroyed the the Heraan capitol ship with all hands still on board. The warpcore breached sending a shock wave destroying the smaller Heraan Vessel's and damaging all the Heraan ships in a 300,000 meter radius around the explosion>

Major Raszagal - Streets of Antioch
Raszagal used her sniper rifle to hone in on Charlie 0-2-2 as she went down, getting a clear view of the damaged engines, and an approximate idea of the crash site once the ship dipped below the city skyline. The pulled out her communicator, and put out a call to the whole of the 17th. "Pelican down!" she said. "I repeat: Charlie 0-2-2 has gone down near the Citadel! This is Fire Team Echo, Alpha Company. We're moving to investigate, over."
Raszagal slung her sniper rifle onto her back again as she unslung her Type-III assault rifle. She kept an eye on the integrated bio-scanner on the rifle's sight unit, ensuring the area was clear of Heraan before she advanced her team too far. Luckily, her knowledge of the city helped Fire Team Echo move toward the crashed dropship much faster than any other Federation team could have.
After a few encounters with Heraani patrols, many of which Raszagal and another marksman were able to whittle away with their sniper rifles, they finally reached the Presidium. One of the vast districts within the city of Antioch, the Presidium contained both the center of government, the Council Spire; as well as the religious epicenter, the Citadel of Adun. Although Raszagal was uncertain where exactly Charlie 0-2-2 had gone down, she knew it was somewhere within this district.

Dolan tensed as the exchange of words grew more intense. He shifted his weapon into a better position to fire from and also prepared to jump out of the way of the Heraani weapons. Dolan waited for the Heraani Warmaster to give the silent order to attack as the rest of the group drew their weapons.

<She waited for the Elite weapon to swing and as it did, she made her move and tumbled between the Heraan Elite's leg right to the otherside and rushed for her weapon, she grabbed it up just in time to block an attack from the Heraan elite she was attacking. As the Elite plunged its blade at her, she moved to the side to get out of the way and as the Elite's weapon stuck in the ground, she took the time and rolled out of the way, got up and swung her Khala down, quickly decapitating the Heraan Elite>

Ensign T'Kar. Avalon Station
T'Kar got on the station from the foreign Gallifreyan ship. He knew his orders, which were the same orders as everyone else. He also knew there was going to be a war. While he was mentally preparing, he found himself wandering.
Even though he was a Klingon, he was quite young and had butterflies in his stomach, but he would never show or admit it. So he tried an experiment, Vulcan tea. It had calmed him, but he was still Dugh, or vigilant.

As soon as he got word of what ship he was going to serve on for the mission, T'Kar gathered all the information he could from the computer and from people who were familiar with the ship. "The Radiant Thunder. It is an odd name. Regardless of the name, it is an engineering masterpiece." He said to everyone and no one.
It was only his second mission, But he was already serving on his second ship, in the greatest war he believed he will ever see or be in. He was disappointed that he couldn't go into battle with the Rivendell, a highly advanced tactical vessel, but he knew it was suicide to take a damaged ship like that into battle with the Na'Jigat.

"Excuse my reluctance, sir, but you have to realize that we're in this situation because of the last time I gave away that information." She paused, then continued: "If I hadn't given the Heraan information on Gallifrey, it's location included, my world would still be safe."
Raszagal sighed, took a moment, then began her report. "To answer your question, no one enclave is of any greater importance. But our enclaves are only outposts, locations where our people can rest, safe from the dangers of the planet's natural predators. The most important locations on the planet are in the capital city of Antioch, those are the Spire, where the council sits; and the Citadel of Adun, the shrine dedicated to our ancient leader and prophet. These are sure to be the Heraan's first targets."

Private Raszagal - Pelican Dropship Sierra-7-2-5
The fleet of Pelicans swooped low into the atmosphere, skimming only a few meters from the treetops of one of the lush jungles of Gallifrey. Raszagal tapped the hatch release, and the rear hatch of the troop compartment unsealed and slowly opened to reveal a spectacular view of the jungle rushing past, broken only by the Puma that hung on the underside of the tail behind the compartment.
"LZ in fifteen!" the pilot yelled from the cockpit through the open door. Raszagal secured her rifle to her back, and stood near the lip of the troop compartment, grasping a ceiling hand-hold to prevent herself from falling out of the ship in the turbulence. This was the first time she'd returned to Gallifrey since her exile, and it gave her both joy and sadness to be here again, defending it's very existence from the enemy.
"There's a whole mess of Heraan between us and the Gallifreyan camp outside Antioch!" she yelled over the roar of the rushing wind. "There's no way we're going around them, so we're just going to go through them!" Such romantic ideas of glory in battle were not common for her people, but she knew that marines, terran males specifically, reacted well to a hard-ass pep talk seconds before an engagement.
The dropship slowed it's engines, bringing them into a hovering position and letting the ship coast away most of it's speed. It then pivoted almost 180°, and slowly but steadily descended before hovering only a meter-and-a-half from the ground. Raszagal pounded her fist twice on the inner hull of the ship before jumping down to the ground, with several of the marines behind her shouting various cries of encouragement and cockiness as they followed.
Her rifle in-hand, she ushered her marines out from under the Pelican, and the magnetic locks holding the Puma in place were deactivated, causing the vehicle to drop to the ground, a hearty crunch-thud emanating from it's suspension. She immediately climbed into the passenger's seat as two other marines occupied the driver's and gunner's seats.

<Pulling her Khala out of her target, she spit on him, very un-gallifreyan like but she wasnt part of Gallifrey so she figured it was alright>
"Their will be more hovering around, we should go due east and go around any other patrol's that are sent out. Im sure if we continue north we will continue to run into the Heraan patrol's which would put our lives in danger." Alexia wisely advised her master's.

Ensign Tigerlead - Radiant Thunder - Bridge
Tigerlead watched as a Heraani Battleship turned towards the USS Amazon. He turned towards the captain's chair
"Lieutenant Stevens, one capital ship and two of it's escorts are heading towards the Amazon!"
=^= Engineering to Bridge =^=
T'kar here. I gave you everything i got but i won't guarantee the launchers will be in one peace!
=^= Tigerlead to Engineering =^=
Acknoledged
Tigerlead turned to Lieutenant Stevens "Sir i have an idea but i need you to trust me on this"
The lieutenant looked towards the young tactical officer and acknoledged with a slight head movement.
The ensign quickly pressed a few buttons, then turned towards the helmsman and said "Helm, set new course 148 mark 20" the helmsman turned and looked in shock "But... sir that would put us on a colission course with the capital ship" then turned towards the lieutenant in charge. Stevens was as shocked as the others but trusted the instincts of his tactical officer knowing full well he wouldn't be here if he wasn't capable and with a slight gesture he aproved the course corrections.
The helmsman said "New course 148 mark 20, Aye"
Tigerlead looked as the Heraani ship appeared straight ahead then added "Helm, full impulse!" The heraani ship got closer and closer... "Steady as she goes... and hope for the best" the young ensign said as the Radiant Thunder was closing in to the Heraani capital ship. The escort destroyers flanked the capital ship and the Radiant Thunder became the only thing beetween the enemy group and the Amazon that was still recovering personnel.
=^= Tigerlead to T'kar =^=
Give me every last drop of energy you can to shields and engines
Tigerlead pressed quickly input some commands, then pressed an intercom button
=^= Shipwide =^=
General Quarters! All hands brace for impact! General Quarters! All hands brace for impact!
Tigerlead watched as the Radiant Thunder was heading at flank speed towards the battleship and thought ~Ok i hope T'kar did a nice job with those torpedoes or we'll go down with them also... now a little bit closer, i set the targets and this should work...~ his thoughts were interupted as he spoken "Full power to frontal shields! Firing the torpedos, maximum yeld, minimum spread!"
A buzzing sound and a slight recoil was felt as the torpedoes left the tube then followed a giant cracking sound as that of a giant earthquake that was aparently tearing the ship apart... but it didn't happen the Radiant Thunder was still in one piece and Tigerlead was watching the torpedos trajectory. The overloaded warheads passed through the shields as if they weren't there and penetrated deep into the capital ship before detonating... the capital ship exploded in a blue-yellow debris wave of contorted metal.
The Radiant Thunder plunged through the debris... and as the helmsman was busy trying to keep the ship in one piece Tigerlead was monitoring the small battlegroup siuation "This is our chance" he yelled over the deafining sounds "the explosion destabilized the escort destroyers shields, firing all phaser banks"
The outcome reminded Tigerlead of the old Earth history with those wooden galleons that were closing to their enemies in broadside battles to fire with their projectile cannons... The Radiant Thunder and the Heraani escort were exacty like that as the Radiant Thunder's phasers were hitting both the destroyers... seconds later both ships were going down in a blaze of burning metal and plasma...
"We're losing the shields... The Amazon is moving off... get us out of here!!!"

**Lollock returned to her command seat** "Alright everyone, times up. Status report lieutenant Swift?"
Swift - "We've got phasers back online and shields are holding at 29%"
"Good work everyone, helm take us back into the fight. Swift, take advantage of any target you can lock onto."
**The Iroquois headed back into the battle she took a hard hit directly over the bridge and fire broke out onto the bridge. A repair teamed swarmed the bridge like a well oiled machine. When the smoke had settled Swift looked toward the center of the bridge, where the captains chair had been there was a beam and a pile of metals and plastics he sees his Captain at the foot of the beam and rushes to her aid. "Captain" Swift shrieks. He kneels beside her and sees the blood gushing from her forehead.**
"Today is a good day to......"
**Silence filled the bridge as a soft rumble began to fill in Swifts voice and the rumble slowly turned to an impressive roar. Commander Dals looked at Swift, perplexed, he responds to her look.** "It is important that i warn the honored dead in Sto-Vo-Kor that a warrior is on her way to join them." **With that Swift shuts Captain Lollocks eyelids and gets up to head back to his station. Commander Dals looks towards the bridge crew who were still in shock at witnessing the death of their Captain. Dal interrupts the silence;** "Come on everyone, we can mourn later but we still have a job to do. Swift return fire, helm evasive action. Keep our belly facing their line of fire. The bridge cannot handle another hit like that."

"Sir, the Aztec had to break off, she was taking too much damage to be of any use. The Amazon has lost 3 decks due to damage sir, repair teams are enroute." the operations officer called out.

Admiral Karelia - Corridor, Starbase Avalon
Legudon began to stride back toward the turbolift, as Will turned to Julia. "Meet us in the wardroom in ten minutes," he said, mindful of the fact that she was still in her dress. As she retreated into her quarters, Karelia jogged to meet Legudon near the turbolift, and he immediately began his questioning. "What exactly do you mean by 'jeopardy'," he asked.
"My meaning is that my world in about to come under siege," the master replied coldly, "and we have very little time to mount sufficient defense. The attack by the Na'jigat and the Heraan is imminent."
The turbolift opened, and Karelia trailed behind Legudon, stopping to face him once they entered the car. "Wait, the Na'jigat? I thought they were under suppression since the attack on Avalon station last year! How is it that they're ready to attack at all, much less against Gallifrey?"
"This," Legudon said in a very Vulcan-esque manner, "is the source of our concern. We've no idea how they've become so powerful, so fast. If I may, admiral, I'd like to go over this once, and it might be smarter to do in in your conference room, with everyone present?"
Karelia huffed, but remained silent. He absolutely despised being shut up like that, but in the presence of Legudon, he had to admit he felt a bit deflated. After all, what was a Starfleet admiral when compared to an expert warrior, over seven centuries old?

Captain Taurik - Bridge, Hybrid Starship Radiant Thunder
Taurik grasped the arms of the Thunder's bridge chair, marveling at the comfort of the Gallifreyan fabric used to upholster it. He had commanded this vessel once before, but was still impressed by the way the ship managed to meld both Gallifreyan and Federation architecture, and still seem as natural as either one alone.
He tapped a button on the panel that hovered next to the command seat. "Captain Taurik to all Rivendell crew," he beckoned. "Report to the Radiant Thunder at once." Once the message was sent, he called up the specs on the ship, bypassing the inefficient use of a command panel and linking his mind with that of the ship's central processing core. In addition to the Gallifreyan's knowledge of telepathic technologies, they were also well adept at the art of bio-mechanical engineering, and managed to create vessels that were controllable by mere telepathic contact alone, and this allowed Taurik to not only request the data telepathically, but have it sent directly to his brain as well.
After reviewing the tactical specifications of the ship for a few moments, he was availed to a moment to sit and think about his last conversation with Techerakh. In effect, the master had told him, he was now the de facto leader of the Gallifreyan Order. Perhaps not in title, but he had been informed that every Gallifreyan would willingly fight and die by his word. Even Techerakh himself had expressed his readiness to take orders from Taurik.
Somehow, Taurik had doubts about whether he was ready to accept such a position.

Dolaln turned to Rajnus and replied, "No offense intended, but while Federation technology is advanced, in many ways surpassing ones I am more familiar with, there is not much I can suggest to increase the ship's combat effectiveness since it is simply not advanced enough to apply the upgrades I have in mind. It would actually be easier to construct a ship with all of the upgrades from scratch, as the time and resources needed for all of the upgrades to a ship is unimaginable. To put it simply, there is not much we can do to increase the ship's combat effectiveness."

Master Techerakh - Jungles of Gallifrey
Techerakh took the lead, proceeding forward slowly so as not to make too much noise. Although visibly absent, they were still easily capable of betraying their presence with sound. He, as well as the others, left his khala dark, since it's blade could not be disguised like his body could.
With Taurik on his left, Alexia on his right, and Legudon behind them, the four warriors crept up on the unsuspecting Heraan, masking their psionic presence as best as they could. They broke from one another, forming as complete a circle as they could, closing in from all angles as the Heraan investigated the area for signs of human traffic. And finally, with one of the elites at arms length, Techerakh lit his khala, and as he cut the Heraan down, the alien's compatriots saw him killed by what looked like a levitating blade of energy. The other three Sentinels slew their respective targets as well, and the Heraan, their force cut in half, desperately tried to fight off their attackers. Unfortunately for them, they were unable to coordinate an effective defense before being slain, and the Gallifreyans managed to defeat the entire hunting party without the Heraan ever firing a shot.

Admiral Julian - U.S.S Fenix - Fleet Formation Alpha Squad
*a return communication came from the Delta Alliance fleet. it came from the same location as supposed Heraani reinforcements.*
=^=Admiral Julian to any Delta Alliance fleet members. Please respond. Are you still out there?=^=
*before Julian had time to reply, the comm channel ended. He then looked at his screen showing the battle. It shoed that it was infact not only the Delta Alliance, but the Borg, not the Heraani fleet that came out of warp. A sigh of relief came out of Julians body as he then put all his attention back onto the task at hand.*

Lieutenant Dolan - Citadel of Adun
Dolan was suspicious of the Heraan's intentions, but could see no hostile intentions on part of the Heraan. Dolan entered the Citadel with caution, shifting his phaser rifle to a more defensive position, but appearing less hostile. Dolan prepared to react to any sudden movements as he entered the Citadel, not willing to fully trust the Heraan.

Lieutenant Dolan - Command Vehicle, Heraani Border World
Dolan nodded briefly before sending a brief message to all of the marines notifying them of the additional orders. Soon there were even more explosions added to the already deafening background noise, but Dolan tuned it all out. He soon decided that the best way to eliminate the cannon would be to have its numerous reactors overloaded. The plan had several problems - firstly, the marines had to get inside, which may take hours. Secondly, they had to penetrate deep into the cannon to reach its main control area. Thirdly, someone had to find a way to order all of the reactors to overload simontaneously, which would prove difficult since there would likely be numerous safeguards in place. And lastly, the only way to escape would be to have the Normandy transport the entire battle group out of the cannon before the whole facility blew up, which would require precise timing as to not endanger the Normandy crew or have everyone in the facility die. Dolan worked on removing these problems but it seemed the marines would have to rely on courage, themselves, and sheer, dumb luck.

Master Techerakh - Command Chamber, Gallifreyan Battlecruiser Prodigal Son
Techerakh stepped onto the command chamber, and walked up the ramp to the smaller kiir's altar. Here, with the crew of the Prodigal Son around him, and the vast gallery of holographic monitors around him, was one of the only places he felt truly at home. The other was in the main chamber of the Citadel of Adun.
"Ready drives," came the master's psychic call, more efficient than vocal orders. "Make ready for the trip to Gallifrey."
The vetrakiir of the ship, the effective first officer, stepped to the master quietly, and ensured their thoughts were their own. "Master," he asked, "it can't really be true, can it?"
"You know the answer as you ask," came Techerakh's response. "The Na'jigat strive to destroy all we are, and no creature who's heart beats in his chest is safe from their destructive power. Not even the Heraan, but they'll not understand this."
"They haven't the gift of such wise leaders," the vetrakiir sent humbly.
Techerakh smiled, and turned back to the crew around him. "Take us home," he said vocally.

"So your pretty much saying after your long winded explaination. Smaller ships go into the enemy fleet sense they probly wont get shot as easily as the bigger ships?. I agree, I hope Commodore Taurik realize's that we should use the weaker ships to fly between the enemy vessel's if he doesnt then we are severly screwed." Rajnus said to Dolan.
"Dolan, Im surprised you havent brought me an idea of how to increase our combat effectiveness yet." Rajnus said looking at Dolan.

Admiral Karelia - Outskirts of Antioch
Karelia ducked behind the hulk of a Heraani tank while plasma fire streaked over their heads. He then turned to the lieutenant that was trying to speak to him over the commotion. "Lt. Dolan, at your service, Admirals," Dolan said as soon as the Admirals were within hearing range. "My team will do our best to keep you safe. I need any information you can provide about the location of the Gallifrey Council memb--" The lieutenant paused a moment. "Nevermind, then. It seems you're going to have to stick with me for a little while longer. After we reach the Council members, a Pelican should arrive shortly to pick us up. We'll be heading back for the marine encampment after that."
Will shouted to be heard over the noise. "Get a Pelican down here ASAP, we're more than ready to get moving," he said, pointing to the councillors only a few dozen meters away. "I know I could sure as hell stand to be out of this mess!"
A plasma bolt struck only a few centimeters from Will's head, and the admiral popped out over the body of the fallen hovertank. He aimed his phaser at one of the attacking soldiers, and fired. The phaser beam struck the Heraan's body shields, and quickly overloaded them, as Karelia had the phaser on setting twelve out of sixteen. The blast seemed to also char the armor of that soldier, but did not severely injure it, and it began running toward them. His phaser's battery had very little charge remaining, and Will had to think fast. He wrenched a piece of plating from the fallen tank, and ducked low to avoid being seen. The Heraan jumped onto and over to their side of the tank, and as soon as it landed, it whirled to see Will slamming the hull shard into it's face as hard as possible. With it's shields down, the alien's unprotected cranium was vulnerable, and the force of the beam crushed it's head quite fatally.
Sighing from the exertion of the swing, Will grabbed the fallen soldier's plasma rifle, and resumed his effort to hold out until the Pelican arrived.

=^=Wait for my order to fire. =^=
*the moment grew more intense as the fleets moved closer and closer to the carriers who now knew of what was approaching them. Multiple squads of fighter turned from the front lines and returned to defend the carriers. A number of cruisers also changed corse to intercept.*

*at that moment, the form of the fleet changed. The capital ships slowed to the back of the fleet and started deploying mines to cover the flank of the fleet.*

Master Taurik - Citadel of Adun
The battle between Taurik, the embodiment of Gallifrey; and Ar'Krakh, the embodiment of the Na'jigat, was a fierce one. The two warriors fought with speed and vigor beyond the range of any single being. Most of the battle was a blur, no outside observer would be able to track a specific movement. This was only on the surface, however, as the psionic battle between the two continued.
To the two warriors-turned-avatars, moments passed as if they were millenia. The combat seemed unending, and the neurogenic radiation caused by their telepathic output was enough to render even the remaining active members of the strike team unconscious. And although the advantage was hard fought, the wrath of the Gallifreyans began to win out against the Na'jigat.
On the outside, energy blades were flying wildly, the center of the antechamber brightly lit by flares of impact between the weapons. Taurik had since drawn his second khala and was beginning to press Ar'Krakh into a desperate defense. The warmaster could not keep up with the twin weapons, disadvantaged by his single energy bracer and constant distraction of the Gallifreyan's mental attack. Taurik saw his opening and smashed against the bracer with one weapon, using the other to sever the Heraan's arm.
Defeated, Ar'Krakh fell to the ground, and screamed as the Na'jigat desperately launched a psionic barrage against Taurik, one the Gallifreyan's focus could finally render useless. And as Taurik stood over the injured warmaster, he spoke in a collective voice that would bring pause to even the Borg. "You are vanquished. All that have fallen to your hunger are avenged. And your evil - the evil that doomed Scion to destruction - has come to an end." Taurik stepped forward in his own mind, as if emerging from a crowd, and took full control of his body. Locking eyes with the warmaster, he saw a glint of fear just before swinging his khala.
With the warmaster defeated, Taurik fell to his knees, and the collective of Gallifreyan minds slowly unraveled, leaving Taurik on the floor, alive but appearing as dead as Ar'Krakh. He remained on the floor for several minutes, simply breathing and rediscovering the feeling on being alone in one's mind. It was as he remembered, but he also felt changed, incomplete. And as he got to his feet, he felt a presence, one that seemed to welcome him. It was without words, simply a feeling. It was unfamiliar, but almost felt warm.

Lieutenant Dolan - Command Vehicle, Planet containing Heraani Cannon
The situation was growing dire. The marines were essentially pinned down by Heraani forces and making it difficult to move forward. The only options were to hold their ground and retreat and the only viable option was to hold their ground. Dolan come up with a way to destroy the cannon, but it would rely on very precise timing from the Normandy to rescue the marines...in any case, the marines had to get inside the cannon and that wasn't happening any time soon.

Captain Taurik - Cockpit, Cardinal Virtue
Taurik expertly piloted the Cardinal Virtue through the titanic space doors and made way around the inner circumference of the station, toward it's assigned docking slip. Before he could reach it, however, he felt the thoughts of Master Legudon. He immediately docked the ship as quickly as possible, and performed the most abbreviated post-flight routine he could get away with, before making a beeline for the turbolift.

*Shocked at the last comments the Captain made, Teranis simply saluted his superior and started work on installing the new device. About 20 minutes past and everything was installed. Teranis started to run a diagnostic on the device and sent the results to his station on the bridge. He entered the turbolift and spoke to the computer.*

*the turbolift doors closed and the lift proceeded to head towards the bridge... A few seconds later the lift doors opened and Teranis walked onto the bridge. Teranis turned and proceeded to his station to read the diagnostic.*
Captain, the new Validium Inductor Emitter seems to be running without any problems. Everything else in engineering is all set. We are as ready as we will ever be.
*Shocked at the last comments the Captain made, Teranis simply saluted his superior and started work on installing the new device. About 20 minutes past and everything was installed. Teranis started to run a diagnostic on the device and sent the results to his station on the bridge. He entered the turbolift and spoke to the computer.*

Lieutenant Dolan - Command Vehicle, Heraani Border World
As the marines retreated rapidly from the space cannon, Colonel Balkazar signaled to the Normandy to transport the marines back to the ship. The Heraan seemed very surprised at the sudden retreat of the marines, if their sudden slowing in their pace was any indication.
The Normandy soon arrived and began transporting marines as soon as the ship got a lock on them. Within minutes, all of the surviving marines and vehicles were transported back to the Normandy and the ship departed the planet as fast as it had arrived. However, the reactors at the space cannon had overloaded before the ship could fully escape the blast radius and so the ship was hit by the resulting shockwave, throwing the ship out of control for several seconds. Control of the ship was soon restored though and the ship set a course back to Avalon Station.

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
"Well, it probably isn't my place to give tactical advice..." said Dolan, hesitating momentarily, before continuing. "From what I can see, the weaker vessels should do what ever they can to protect the stronger vessels, including intercepting enemy fire with the ship itself. Supportive fire from these weaker vessels should be a secondary priority. If our enemies are as powerful as I am being told, the stronger vessels need to be given as much time as possible to inflict damage to the enemy before taking damage themselves. In this spirit, there should be several small groups of ships diving deep into the enemy formation, since if the enemy tries to fire on them, their missed shots will likely hit one of their allied vessels, and, as those ships are likely to be destroyed sooner or later, they can be considered expendable." Dolan paused for a moment, thinking, and then added, "As for ships carrying troops, such as ours, we should make our way to the planet as quickly as possible without compromising the ship and deploy the troops at strategic locations. We would then rejoin the main fleet and resume protecting the stronger ships of the fleet...that is, unless you want to perform one of those raiding tactics I mentioned earlier."

Lieutenant Dolan - Main Controls, Escape Pod
=/\= Acknowledged, setting course there now. =/\=
Dolan relayed those coordinates to the rest of the escape pods. Fortunately, most of the escape pods were by now in no danger of being attacked by the Heraan or their allies and they adjusted their course accordingly.
Dolan now relaxed somewhat, in order to assess the situation. The Heraan and their allies were now in disarray with the loss of one of their larger ships and a large gap having appeared in the center of their forces. Dolan thought the ship was likely a carrier, due to its large size, which seemed more designed toward giving fighter support than going in an open confrontation with another vessel. In any case, the Heraan were still giving the Gallifreyans and their allies a very difficult time. While the Heraan had taken more losses, their forces were more expendable, if they continued assault was any indication. Dolan's calculations and subsequent results were grim - to say the least, if the Gallifreyans didn't get a miracle, their success was dangerously slim.
Dolan was woken out of his musing by the console's beeping.
"We are about the begin reentry, so please hold on tight," Dolan explained to his passengers, "Once we land, make sure you're armed and ready for a tough battle. We're going to have to wait for the marines, since going out and searching for them is too dangerous." Dolan then input several commands into the console as the escape pod entered Gallifrey's atmosphere.
Not too long after, Dolan manuevered the escape pod into a landing on top of a high hill overlooking the city of Antioch. Dolan grimaced as he looked down at the city - numerous areas were in flames, with large clouds of smoke covering many districts of the massive city. Dolan turned away from the damaged city as dozens of other escape pods landed nearby Dolan's. He began coordinating an effort to fortify the area until the marines could arrive.

Ensign Dar'Nas, USS Normandy Escape pod
Dar'Nas set a evasive course towards Gallifrey at best possible speed. The console beeped alerting him that the starboard thruster was failing and would be offline in 14.38 seconds. Dar'Nas contacted his superior and reported in. He knew the Heraan would dect it but it was his only chance to relay his landing coordinates in code.
The pod was just about to enter the upper atmosphere when the thruster went offline with a soft nudge. Dar'Nas was able to compensate with the other three but would still reenter too quickly for anyones liking.
The air in the cabin began to get slightly warmer, a short ensign was the first to notice. Dar'Nas redirected power from all nonesintila systems to the structural integrity field and the remaining thrusters. The pod began to hum with the increased speed, Dar'Nas aimed the pod toward a small body of water and waited.
"Brace for impact" said Dar'Nas when the pod was 10 seconds from the lake. The pod hammered into the water about 5 meters off shore. After activating the pods outer hatch the crew began to swim to shore. After treating a minor laceration he realized the Heraan were half a minute away.
Dar'Nas and two others cut down two trees for cover. After 4 minutes of almost continuous phaser fire a tall ensign saw the Pelican approaching on the horizon.
Dar'Nas ordered to cease fire. This confused the Heraan but only for an instant when the realization struck them. The Pelican fired and cleared a area for retreival of the Normandy crew.

Lieutenant Dolan - Outskirts of Antioch, Gallifrey
Dolan moved quickly, knowing that there was an extremely small window of opportunity of getting all of the VIPs out of the combat zone without endangering the Pelican coming to their rescue. Getting into the vicinity of the Council members was difficult due to the dense Heraan presence, but his team members managed to pierce a small hole in the Heraani lines, which the Council members used to escape the surrounding Heraan after cutting through several more Heraan to make the hole larger.
Dolan managed to catch up with them when they took refuge behind the remains of a Heraani transport to briefly recuperate.
"Lt. Dolan, at your service," Dolan said speedily, trying to keep an eye out for any approaching Heraan. "Colonel Balkazar has sent me to extract you from the combat zone, deeming you critical personnel. I've already made contact with the Admirals and a couple members of my rescue team are helping them hold out for now. A Pelican will be arriving shortly at their location, so it would be best if we hurry there now."
Dolan whipped around as he saw a Heraan jump toward him and the Council members and fired at it repeatedly with his phaser rifle. It fell to the ground, dead, at Dolan's feet.
"So are you ready to go?" asked Dolan.

Master Techerakh - Citadel of Adun
"Taurik!" exclaimed Techerakh, freed from his unconsciousness after the cessation of psionic combat. "You've done it! You've defeated Ar'Krakh! The Na'jigat, the Heraan, everything... it's over! And the union! It was the most profound thing I've ever experienced!"
Taurik seemed distant, and did not answer Techerakh. "Taurik?" the master queried. "Are you alright?"
The wearied Vulcan's consciousness was now begging to be set free., and it was all Taurik could do to contain it. Techerakh's comments seemed quieter and quieter as Taurik finally stopped holding back and his consciousness expanded with ease. Eventually, it began to encompass things that Taurik could never have imagined. Techerakh was shocked when Taurik's body began to glow, and was feeling genuine fear on behalf of his friend when the Vulcan's form finally turned completely pale blue. It dawned on the Gallifreyan, as the spectacle continued, what was happening.
Taurik's corporeal form was no longer capable of containing his consciousness.
And as the brightly radiant form began to dissipate, Techerakh watched in awe, watched as his friend, student, and savior ceased to exist on the mortal plane. Techerakh was always taught to be skeptical of the stories of the Nil'kemorya, as the evidence of it's existence was never conclusive. But now, as Taurik's body disappeared, yet his presence grew ever stronger, it was never more clear to Techerakh that the Nil'kemorya, the Spirit of the Universe, was a reality.
The Citadel grew quiet as Taurik's ascension came to an end. The wind, no longer drowned out, could be heard whistling though the scars in the building's roof. The others began to rise, and Techerakh was treated to a barrage of questions. "Ar'Krakh? The Na'jigat?" they asked frantically.
"Defeated."
"And Master Taurik--"
"Gone." Techerakh appeared grim, but revised his statment after some thought. 'At least... for now."

*seconds after finishing his sentence about 15 federation ships changed course and headed straight for the Heraani Command Ship. Alpha Squad took the lead and protected the U.S.S Iroquois from any incoming fire and resistance. Bravo and Delta Squad took to each side and Delta Squad took flank. The majority of the Heraani fleet was still heading towards the carriers, unaware of the bold move by the Federation fleet. this next move could determine the outcome of the Battle in space. If the command ship was not destroyed however, the battle would surely be lost.*

Major Raszagal - Passenger's seat of a Puma
Raszagal looked through the scope of her sniper rifle, and despite the rocking of the Puma, she was able to hold the rifle steady enough to see the Heraani detachment that was pinning her brethren down. "Speed up," she said to the driver, who pressed the accelerator to 120 KPH.
Within forty-five seconds, the Puma cavalry met the Heraan, who were unfortunate enough to be concentrating their attention in the opposite direction. The Pumas smashed through the enemy lines, crushing several of the massive warriors under their even more massive tires. Raszagal's Puma, unfortunately, caught the attention of the detachment leader, who happened to be a psionic. He tossed a psi-pulse right at the Puma, which caused little damage, but sent the truck flipping end over end.
The Gallifreyan managed to leap from the truck as it began to flip, and she dropped her rifle midair and retrieved her khala, it's searing edges fully ignited well before she landed gracefully on the ground. A quick look behind her revealed the bloody corpses of the two marines, crushed by the weight of the vehicle as it rolled.
A pair of Heraani soldiers rushed at Raszagal, but she grabbed a chink in one's armor, jumped into the air over his head, knocking the second to the ground with a psi-pulse. Upon landing behind her first target, she swiftly stabbed him in the back with her khala, it's light-blue prongs of energy melting through metal and tissue alike. She kicked the dead soldier from her weapon, and whirled to face any others that might challenge her.

<The marines turned their attention and opened fire bringing the full power of the Marine corp to bare on the Heraan.

<Then came the Pelican's descending from the skies like a swarm of angry wasp's. Firing their phasers and cutting the Heraan's lines in half, like cutting a knife through butter, furthering the chaos that soon followed>
<Back at the lines Balkazar stood surveying the work of his men>
"Dolan, take 5 marines and secure the Gallifrey Council. Thats your primary objective, secure them and get them over here behind our own lines. Go around the Heraan's ex-artillery lines, thats probly your safest bet. Now MOVE!" he ordered Dolan in a fine military voice.

<Then came the Pelican's descending from the skies like a swarm of angry wasp's. Firing their phasers and cutting the Heraan's lines in half, like cutting a knife through butter, furthering the chaos that soon followed>
<Back at the lines Balkazar stood surveying the work of his men>
"Dolan, take 5 marines and secure the Gallifrey Council. Thats your primary objective, secure them and get them over here behind our own lines. Go around the Heraan's ex-artillery lines, thats probly your safest bet. Now MOVE!" he ordered Dolan in a fine military voice.

"Master Tech, where is Legudon and Taurik, Where is Captain Taurik." Balkazar asked still seating in the Puma. "What happened to them!" Balkazar asked forcefully, knowing he wouldnt like the answer.

**Julia was startled by the intrsion into her quarters but she quickly put on her duty uniform and entered the turbo lift heading for the conference room. She was still unsure of what was going on but she thought she should definately, as an Admiral, proceed to the heart of the discussions.**

"I believe I have a decent solution to that end, Mr. Karelia. If I recall, we imparted Starfleet with a unique vessel, comprised of a hybrid of Federation and Gallifreyan technology. The Radiant Thunder. I also believe this vessel still resides in your spacedock. The crew of the Rivendell has manned the Thunder before, surely they can do it again?"

Admiral Will Karelia - Cockpit, Cardinal Virtue
Will ran his hands over the alien control panel, and siphoned power into the slipstream generators. The outer hull of the Virtue began to shine an iridescent blue, and the ship streaked away into slipspace.
Karelia spun his chair around and leaned it back. "Well," he said with a sigh, "here comes the part where we wait. It'll take us about eighteen hours to get to Gallifrey at our current speed. Alone, I could get us there in three, but like Taurik said, we need to hold back with the slower ships of the fleet."

T'Kar, Engineering station, Radiant Thunder
Right after he heard the report that the Normandy was destroyed, Admiral Julian's report came accross the comm. "Omega team." T'Kar said under his breath. The ship adjusted its heading to get near Gallifrey.
While the marines were fighting the Heraan on the surface, a battlecruiser came right toward them at full impulse. It was going to ram them. The whole team did a lot to slow it down, but the Radiant Thunder colliding with the ship was inevitable. With all the weapons fire, the battlecruiser was down to 1/4 impulse, with the shields down. T'Kar had an idea, though it might have been obvious. "Tactical, I suggest you reverse the polarity of a tractor beam and lock it onto that ship!" He said in his booming voice. When the blue beam grabbed the cruiser, it adjusted its course just enough to clear the hybrid starship by meters.
With about six red, yellow, and green torpedoes, the ship exploded in the high atmosphere of the lush planet. The Radiant Thunder rocked from the explosion, then everybody sighed in short lived relief.

Lieutenant Dolan - Outskirts of Antioch, Gallifrey
Dolan nodded and repeated Balkazar's orders to the five closest marines, who followed Dolan to a Pelican that had not yet taken off. Dolan relayed Balkazar's orders to the pilots and gave them new coordinates. The Pelican took to the air, carrying the rescue team into the midst of the battle, near Balkazar's suggested deployment area. Once the Pelican was close enough to the ground, Dolan and his team jumped off, allowing the Pelican to join in the fighting without delay. In a matter of seconds, Dolan spotted two people donning the clothes of Starfleet Admirals, struggling toward the marine fortifications.
Dolan's team headed for them, covering them as well as they could as they ran to meet up with them. The Admirals weren't doing too bad themselves though - they both had phasers in hand and were firing as they ran for cover.
"Lt. Dolan, at your service, Admirals," Dolan said as soon as the Admirals were within hearing range. "My team will do our best to keep you safe. I need any information you can provide about the location of the Gallifrey Council memb-" Dolan then noticed four Gallifreyans and a Vulcan fighting fiercely a short distance away, slowly making their way toward Dolan's team.
"Nevermind, then. It seems you're going to have to stick with me for a little while longer. After we reach the Council members, a Pelican should arrive shortly to pick us up. We'll be heading back for the marine encampment after that." Dolan quickly sent the coordinates of the Council members to the closest Pelican, with orders to head for that location ASAP, before beginning to make his way to the Council members with his team in tow.

Master Taurik - Charlie 0-2-2 Crash Site
Taurik approached his compatriots of the Council. In a quiet voice, he stated, "We must continue toward the Citadel, but the others cannot accompany us. The fighting will be too intense."
Legudon nodded. "They are brave, but are also just foolhardy enough to think they can come with us. They must remain here at the transport, and wait for our return."
Techerakh piped in. "They won't like that, I'm sure." Unfortunately, Admiral Karelia was close enough to pick up on the Templar's last comment. "Won't like what?" he asked.
Taurik stepped toward the admiral. "Admiral, the councillors and I must continue, our battle is ahead. However, the combat will be far beyond the range of your abilities, as well as the rest of your officers here. I'm afraid I must ask you all to remain here."
"And I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny your request, captain," Karelia stated very matter-of-factly. "After all, I'm still your commanding officer, and I'm not leaving anyone here. We're all going."
"In this matter," Taurik said, "I am outside your jurisdiction. I am no longer on this mission as a Starfleet captain, but as a member of the Gallifreyan council, one that has the authority to order you to remain here."
Karelia's face became hot. "Captain, you're on very unsteady ground. I won't tolerate insubordination from one of my officers. We're coming with you, and that's final. Am I understood?"
"I understand your order perfectly, I simply refuse to abide by it. This battle won't be won by soldiers and phasers, admiral. This is a battle of psionics. Warriors trained to perfection in the art of both telepathic and melee combat. With all due respect, admiral, you and your officers have extremely poor chances of survival, and will only serve to slow us down. However, the four of us may have the ability to stop Ar'Krakh, and we must do what we can to achieve just that. I need your cooperation on this, Admiral."
Karelia hesitated for a moment. "Fine," he said shortly. "We'll do it your way. But I don't like it. And if you ever disobey an order like that again, captain, you'll probably lose your command of the Rivendell. Is that understood?"
Just as Taurik was about to say "perfectly", one of the functional scanners from inside the Pelican began to beep loudly. As Taurik and Karelia checked the readings, it showed two unidentified groups of contacts closing on their position at a steady rate. Taurik surmised they had about two minutes until the first group made contact. "As humans would say," he said, "it looks like we're 'not out of the woods yet'."

Lieutenant Dolan - Citadel of Adun
Dolan managed to gain the upper hand as the Heraan weakened, unable to sustain its ferocious beating on Dolan's impenetrable shell. Dolan swung out just as the Heraan pulled back for another strike and managed to slide the khala through a thin slot in the Heraan's armor, pushing the khala straight though the Heraan's body. Dolan calmly retracted the khala and turned back to the rest of the battle as the Heraan collapsed on the ground, dead.
Dolan turned just as the Heraan warmaster was killed by Taurik's strike before the captain collapsed himself. He watched interestedly as his body was consumed in a pale blue glow, as it was somewhat reminent of quantum tunneling, before bowing his head in respect to the ascended Vulcan. He soon raised his head, as the rest of the team had managed to get up and began to question one of the Gallifreyans as to what had happened. Dolan soon realized that several of them had been rendered unconcious, though by what means, Dolan was uncertain. The team soon made their way to the Citadel's entrance, where a company of marines were pulling up to in Pumas. Dolan saw Colonel Balkazar poke his head from one of the Pumas and began questioning the same Gallifreyan Dolan had noticed ealier.

(off: the following is a brief storyline outcome of the current U.S.S Iroquois's mission that they recently embarked on)
-===-
The U.S.S Iroquois finally reached the Droid Nexus System and dropped off the confidencial package at the planet Unit 01. They then proceeded into Traquel space where they successfully delivered the much need medical supplies and a bit of re-enforced defences for the Traquel to help fight against any more Borg invasions. The defiant class ship then dived straight into the head of the storm to the front lines of the Droid Nexus defence grid that for so long had held back the Borg in their territory. After 2 days of scanning the borders grid by grid, Lt. Commander Teranis the ships chief engineer, noticed a fluxuation in the defence grid. Somehow the borg had created a beam emitter that, when activated, temporarily disable a large section of the defence grid long enough for a small attack force to get through unoticed. The information was relayed directly back to the droid nexus who were able to, with the help of the Iroquois, ambush the latest Borg attempt to get through. The Droid Nexus crushed to force and were able to secure the emitter for further study. The U.S.S Iroquois was made the primary target from the Borg during the attack, however, using the latest technology they had recieved for the intention of the mission, they were completely unharmed. The crew decided to test out one of the prototype torpedoes they were given, and were able to take out a Borg Sphere with one shot. Captain Lollock decided then after that the torpedoes were to dangerous and were only to be used as a last resort. After the battle, a transmission was recieved from Admiral Julian which gave new instructions to head back to Unit 01 and pick up a new confidential package. They were then to b-line it straight back to Station Avalon... The Expansion Fleet was gathering...
The U.S.S Iroquois came out of warp 200,000 km's away from the S.S Avalon to see Federation and Gallifreyan ships alike surrounding them. They were given clearance to dock and the senior officers were instructed to meet at the Station Ops in Admiral Julian's office for a quick debrief.

Lieutenant Dolan - Command Vehicle, Heraani Border World
The marines' mortars bombarded the outer walls of the complex until there was a section that had a breach large enough for several people to go through. After being signalled that the area near the breach was clear, Dolan decended from the command vehicle and joined the marines after checking he was armored and well-armed. He gathered a small team to help him get to the secondary control room before charging in.

Its a new defence against the Na'jigat. It protects the ship from being boarded by the Na'jigat by emitting Validium particles through the shield erray. Im in a hurry i have a few ships to install the device on. It doesnt take to long simply plug it directly into the shield matrix and hey presto your done.

(OOC:did i get a promoton without knowing it or does Commander Freeman still exist?)
T'Kar put the finishing touches on the new Na'Jigat-proof armor, with the help of Mr. Freeman because he was still considered a 'rookie'. Nobody ever said he was out loud but he still knew it. He wondered what it was that made him a rookie.
~ Is it because I am still an ensign? Or maybe because it's my second mission. It is possible it is something else, or a combination of things.~ he thought with Vulcan-like evaluation. Either way he wanted to not be a rookie. He took the oath to be a starfleet officer and serve it until his death. It was the one thing in his life he needed. It was a commitment so large it would bring dishonor to dozens of generations, in his mind, if he didn't take it.
He decided not to say anything to commander freeman or anybody for that matter, about his more personal quest.

Ensign Xavier Clark - Bridge, U.S.S. Iroquois
Clark banked the nimble Defiant to the same heading as the rest of the fleet, and tapped in the commands to activate the warp field and take the ship to FTL speeds. The starscape on the main viewer streaked brightly, indicating the transition to warp.

(off: wow intense... i like )
*Admiral Julian after entering the turbolift, had recieved a comm detailed with information of Taurik heading to the planet and his plan to use Admiral Karelias ship. He was somewhat stunned to know noone was coordinating the fleet. This could be bad. He got into his shuttle and spoke to the A.I*
Computer activate neural interface.
Computer: Neual interface engaged.
*Julian quickly sat at the helm as he could feel the ships systems activating through his thoughts. He quickly left the docking bay as the he heard a comm come in from the U.S.S Normandy*
=^= "This is Captain Rajnus to any federation of Gallifreyan ship near my position, I will need a immediate transport in 15 seconds. I suggest you get me out of here. I am plotting a course right for the Heraan lines and the Normandy will have a warpcore breach in now 20 seconds. I repeat I need a immediate transport now!" =^=
*Without thinking twice, Julian opened a comm to the closest ship*
=^=Admiral Julian to the U.S.S Amazon, you are closest to the Normandy, beam out Captain Rajnus now! =^=
*he then opened a fleetwide chat*
=^=This is Admiral Julian, im taking control of the fleet engagement while Commodore Taurik is unable to. =^=
*he then sends details of the first 3 capital ships set as targets for the U.S.S Iroquois, to 5 different Starfleet vessels. He then reopenes the fleetwide comm*
=^= The U.S.S Evolution, Valhalla, Lancelot, Sphinx and Night Walker, you are to form with myself and the U.S.S Iroquois and become squad Alpha. U.S.S Windsor, Unity, Mannon, Phoenix, New York C and F.I.S. Blackfire, you are to become Squad Bravo. U.S.S Reliance, S.I.V. Dragon, U.S.S. Excalibur and Interceptor, Venture and U.S.S. Aztec, you are all to become squad Delta. The rest of the Fleet will form one big squad called Squad Omega. =^=
*By this time Julian's neural interface indicated a large explosion coming from one of the targeted capitol ships and the U.S.S Normandy. Scans indicated the Normandy impacted with the Heraan Capital ship as its warp core breached which destroyed both ships. He then looked at which ship the Normandy hit to find it was the middle of the three command ships he has plotted to attac first. A comm then came through.*
=^=U.S.S Amazon to Admiral Julian, we got him sir. Amazon out.=^=
Good..
=^= Alpha Squad lets take advantage of this situation, everyone concertrate fire on the 2nd capital ship. I want every ship throwing torpedoes at it as to provide a good distraction for the Iroquois to fire without notice. Bravo squad take the left flank of the Heraan fleet, while Delta takes the right. Omega Squad, concerntrate on keeping Gallifrey defended at all costs.=^=
*Bravo and Delta squad instantly jumped into action taking both sides of the Heraan fleet attempting to move there fleet closer together. Alpha squad all aimed at the capital ship which was just to the left of the one the Normandy had taken out. They opened fire using phaser banks and torpedoes alike. The squad was moving in a scattered but organised formation weaving in and out of eachother to provide even more confusion to the enemy. Julian waited for the perfect moment then he spoke to the Iroquois on the already open comm between the squad*
Fire!

Admiral Karelia - Cockpit, Cardinal Virtue
Will brought the Cardinal Virtue into a tight curve, angling into the Gallifreyan hangar a little closer and a little faster than he probably should have. The ship set safely onto the deck, and Will, leaving the engines hot, dropped the ramp and jogged out into the alien ship.
"What is it?" he asked, a little put off at being summoned like a common crewman. Legudon spoke up first. "We need immediate transport to the surface. The Citadel of Adun is under attack."
Will dropped his contention immediately. "Get in," he said quickly, running back toward the Virtue. With the Gallifreyan councillors following him, he made his way up the ramp, and ducked into the cockpit.
"It's gonna take us about ten minutes to get there," Will said, firing the thorium boosters and propelling the ship out of the hangar like a bat out of hell. "And the Heraan are going to see us coming."

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
Dolan's console beeped and he turned to it.
"Captain, we should be arriving at Gallifrey within the hour. Sensors can't pick up much yet, but there are quite a few ships in the system. Sensors can't seem to identify if they are friend or foe yet. I'll try to boost sensor power."
Dolan began inputting commands into his console and doing some other techical stuff to try and boost the sensors power.

Apprentice Alexia - Jungles of Gallifrey
<Alexia lept out of the tank and slew 2 Heraan's who were standing nearby, by cutting them in 2 peices and watched with great pleasure as they fell to the ground. She then sent forth a psionic wave with the power of her mind and slew 3 more who were in range, the mere power that Alexia had combined with the anger she tried not to feel but couldnt help slew them instantly. Then pulling her Khala out she prepared for the onslaught knowing this may be her final day to live. But she knew she would take as many with her as she could if the god's deemed her life to be taken>

Gallifreyan Master Techerakh - Command Chamber, Battlecruiser Prodigal Son
Techerakh heard the psychic call from his fellow council member. He projected his senses toward the Starfleet station, until he could observe the gathering of various Federation and Gallifreyan personnel.
Techerakh concentrated, and caused his physical essence to follow his consciousness, effectively teleporting himself to the wardroom. He dispelled a few odd looks from the humans, and took a seat.
"Show off," came the thoughts of Legudon in his mind. Techerakh smiled smugly.

Hermes opened a return channel to the Starfleet cruiser and replied. "Admiral Karelia is organizing a fleet to head to Gallifrey in response to news of an impending attack. I am sending all unclassified date to your computer core now. Avalon out."

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy
Dolan replied, "I believe those ships are either the ones mothballed by the Expansion Fleet or, as you said, ones sent by Starfleet. In either case, it still adds up to more firepower for the fleet. Though it seems harsh to say this, those ships can also be considered cannon fodder, as they will hopefully absorb enemy fire and take damage before the newer ships, giving the newer ships more time to fire and damage the enemy, assuming that the newer ships have better firepower. In addition to that, the older vessels are somewhat more expendable than the USS Iroquois or one of those battlecruisers our allies have and so can be used to ram enemy vessels when they have taken too much damage to maintain structural integrity for much longer."

We will need to move everyone of your people who isnt willing to fight down to a bunker of some kind. I need to know entrance points into the enclaves? are they connected to each other? What are these predators like? Will the Heraan need to go through a surface entrance first before going down to the enclaves?. Things like these I need to know." Balkazar told Raszagal.
"As for your hesitation, I understand fully. But you need to understand we are allies, you should trust me more, after all we will be defending your homeland. If we fail here then the entire universe pays for it after all. As for your guilt dont feel guilty, its in the past and you had no choice unless you intentionally told the Heraan then the guilt will be with you till the day you die. Thats the one of the many things you have in common with us mere humans." the Col added.

Lieutenant Dolan - Escape Pod Landing Zone, Gallifrey
Dolan was busy organizing the defense of the hill when phaser and plasma fire erupted just down the hill from where Dolan was standing. When Dolan turned to gauge the situation, he let loose another stream of curses, startling the small group of people standing nearby. He quickly gave orders to use the escape pods for cover while he himself rushed to the front lines, all the while wishing that Starfleet had a better command structure that allowed for greater flexiblity. A high-pitched beeping sound notified Dolan than the Pelicans would arrive in 10 minutes.
Dolan took the phaser rifle he had found in the escape pod off his back and set it at maximum intensity before joining the front lines. The Heraan were attempting to charge up the hill, but fortunately for the crew, they had no cover and were not too hard to pick out from the low grass that covered the hill. Unfortunately, the Heraan were very durable and took quite a few hits to take down, giving them time to fire back and force the crew back.
As the minutes crawled by, the Normandy crew slowly retreated up the hill, thankfully with minimal casualties and very few severe injuries. Even so, the Heraan were advancing rather quickly and Dolan knew that if the Pelicans didn't arrive soon, the crew would be overrun. Another beeping sound caused Dolan to glance at the horizon and he breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the Pelicans approaching the hill.

<The Amazon's 3 sections continued to fire its phasers and full spread of torpedo's, they continued to weave inside and out of the Heraani's frontlines taking out or damaging/disabling as many ships as they could, taking little damage on their part due to the speed and maneuverability they had, they used up all of their torpedo ordance and were down to using phasers. They kept firing as they were targeted by several Heraan vessel's. Rajnus knew that it would harass them further if he kept up the attacks and divert fire from the rest of the fleet>
<Only after recieving a distress call from the USS Aztec did the Amazon and her sections broke off and headed for the Aztec only to find her almost destroyed by the Heraan fighters. The Amazon went in full blast firing all phaser arc's destroying or disabling the fighters that were trying to pick at the carcass of the Aztec. The engineering section of the Amazon went in and transported off the remaining Aztec crew as the ship exploded in a shower of fire and debris>

Major Raszagal - Presidium District, City of Antioch
Raszagal and her team moves silently through the streets of the Presidium, taking cover and cautiously rounding each corner. Although each phaser rifle was equipped with an integrated bio-scanner, it was never a bad idea to take manual precautions, considering the fact that sensors were not difficult to trick.
Suddenly, she felt the presence of hostiles a split second before her scanners detected them. A medium Heraani search party, no doubt sent to recover the survivors of the crash... or more likely to ensure there were none. She dropped to one knee, and held her left fist into the air, the UFMC signal to hold. She switched to her sniper rifle, and spotted down the avenue, attempting to get a visual glimpse of the enemies. Raszagal noticed that the Heraan were moving with focused intent, not the inquisitive manner in which one searched. This meant that they already had a target, and were moving to close on it. They did not seem to be headed in the marines' direction, however, and that meant that they had located the crash site.
She immediately pulled out her tricorder and flipped it open, getting a much wider view of the area. Her scans located the same group of Heraani soldiers, as well as a number of allied signatures and a large mass of polyduranium plating, most likely the hull of Charile 0-2-2. The friendly signatures were approximately six hundred meters from their current location, and the Heraan were only four hundred from the crash.
"Marines, hustle, double time!" she said in her best Corps attitude. "We've got a party to crash."

Lieutenant Dolan - Escape Pod Landing Zone, Gallifrey
Dolan used his escape pod's sensors to detect a group of Pelicans that were going to arrive in 15 minutes. He relayed this information to the rest of the crew, who had finished preparing the area in case of attack. The escape pod's consoles then started beeping urgently. Dolan checked it and swore, as it showed a large group of Heraan approaching the escape pods, with an ETA of 5 minutes. While Dolan was somewhat glad he decided to land of top of a hill, that strategic advantage wasn't worth much if the encampment was overrun.
Dolan quickly coordinated a general defense against the arriving Heraan and hoped that help would arrive soon.
