Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

"Ok, then. Here goes nothing..."

The Concord lifts up, retracts it's landing pads, and shoots out the shuttlebay door, making its way to the Omega particles

"Bring ablative armor up! Target phasers and hail them."

=/\= You have one hour =/\=

=/\= Scout Ship Katal Out =/\=

Sir, the scout ship is starting up their engines.  I think they mean to come closer!    

"Great. We're outta here."

A moment later, the Concord jumped to warp

(OFF3: Try to make it like a Quicktime movie or something...)

Freeman, Walker, Bain, and Antilles board the Delta Class ship and begin the preflight sequences. Freeman is at helm, Walker at Tactical, Bain at Ops, and Antilles at Engineering.

"Mr. Antilles, bring the impulse engines online and empty the deuterium tanks. Mr. Bain, prepare to bring the Omega particles into the tanks with the Bussard collectors."

"Captain, I'm detecting a Romulan Scout Ship 3 LY away. It's heading in the direction of the Omega Particles."

OFF: no but the omega particle obviously makes  ships lose their warp capabilities.

ON: Channel open sir.  No response

=/\= Scoutship Katal, this is the Federation Shuttlecraft Concord, we are conducting an investigation into readings of a mysterious particla called Omega. This particle is very dangerous. If you do not believe us, your vessel can stand guard while we collect our information. =/\=

"The scout ship is continuely scanning us Captain."

OFF1: Now what?

OFF2: Good Sabre Gif

OFF3: Will, I sent you a ST flash vid I made. Its kinda lame though.

OFF1: I sent you the only formats I can make with the program.

OFF2: So you don't have shockwave flash huh? O'well, not like these vids are spectacular.

Yes sir.  
*turns to the console*

Impulse engines coming online...now.
The deterium tanks should be empty in a moment or two.  

There, Sir the impulse engines are runing and the deteruim tanks are empty and awaiting the omega particle.

if it is any indication of the Omega particles power they should have lost their warp engines too.

"Firing."

"We're being hailed."

=/\= Starfleet Vessel, this is the Romulan Vessel Katal =/\=

You are in Coalition Space, leave unless you want to be destroyed by Warbirds inroute.

I guess that will have to do Captain.

initiating bussard collectors
*the hold was being filled*
*slowly*

=/\= Katal to Starfleet Vessel =/\=

We have recieved orders from are commander. You will not be allowed to do any investigation, until one of are science vessels arrive. Are commander will be aboard.

=/\= Katal Out =/\=

"Torpedoes and phasers ready Captain."

"We don't have time for this. I'm initiating Attack pattern Epsilon Two. Mr. Walker, fire when ready."

The Concord's impulse boosters opened up and the ship was racing toward the Katal

(OFF: We return once the Warbird leaves.)

(OFF2: Thanx. The Akira and Prometheus ones are better, though.)

(OFF3: I cant read .exe on my Mac...)

"Sir, I'm detecting two more warbirds and a science vessel at the location of the Omega Particles."

OFF: Do you watch Fan Music Videos?

adjusting bussard collectors for collection now...

system ready for collection, when we take off.

OFF: Did I say they were at warp.:)

"Mr. Walker, fire a warning shot across their bow."

(OFF: Omega only causes the loss of warp if it ignites or destabilizes.)

"Prepare the collectors, we have to be done in an hour."

"Ready torpedoes. Relay this message:"

=/\= Concord to Katal.  We cannot finish our investigation with your ship in the center of the Omega field. It would be appreciated if you allowed us to finish our work within your schedule. Concord out. =/\=

"Firing all weapons."

"The scout ship is disabled Captain."

At that momment, a Warbird decloaked on The Concord's starboard side.

"Captain, we have another guest on are door step."

OFF3: I sent you a alternate file. I also made another one, which I think is better.

OFF: I finally saw the Voy ep, 'Timeless'. I had two photos from that ep, and I wondered what ep they were from. I wondered what ep the photo Jeff used was from.:)

"Let's head back to the Sequoia... we're never gonna win that fight..."

The Concord turns around and heads back toward it's mothership
