Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

(OFF: Dont forget, these wraiths can cloak...)

=/\= No captain. =/\=

=/\= Damen Out =/\=

"Ok, lets all eniciate pre-launch protoccols."

Before they departed the ship, Damen had all three fighters cloak.

"When the Romulans fire, Me and Jonas will attack the ships to the aft of the New Orleans. Mr Collins, you'll say with her, until you are needed. Everyone understand?"

"I copy Sir. I will just point and shoot and see what happens"

Thinks to himself. "The worst part of the mission is waiting for the Go signal its like just waiting to die"

"This is wraith 3 Launching now"

Fighter picks off the floor and spins round. Hitting the thrusters into full the fighter gains speed out of the hanger. "Cloaking" Once im clear over 200m out i engage the impulse drives and gain speed very quickly. "Im at Combat speed Request release to go after one of the support ships on a bombing run"

=/\= Acknowleged =/\=

Relic and Jonas take a pass on a Norexan Class Warbird. They do some damage to its port shields. Relic nearly misses two of its photons and a disrupter blast. Before taking another pass, Relic and Jonas deside to disable a scout ship.

OFF1: You should use a nickname like mine, Falcon.

OFF2: The Norexan Class, was what was used to assist the Ent-E in Nem.

OFF3: Sorry for my absentence. I HATE!!! COMPUTER WORMS!!!

=/\= The Falcon has returned =/\=

OFF: Why didn't anyone post while I was gone?

=/\= This is Falcon =/\=

I'm on my way.

=/\= Falcon out =/\=

OFF: Modem problems

=/\= Alright hawk how big is this gunna be will it take the other birds with it they are very close. =/\=

Pulls away from the warbird

Before the NO left at warp, Relic and Anthony docked in the fighter bay.

*We'll be back Jonas.*

"Make sure your fighter is set to go."

Relic checks the Beta One fighter.

OFF:*Hits himself in the head* I forgot all about the cloak.

OFF: aft??? front?   starboard is left, port is right...??? doublechecking.

"no we don't Collins, but be ready if there are."

=/\=Rellek to fighter bay, take 3 Wraith class fighters and help us even the odds a little. Do your best to hit the ships sensative areas.=/\=

Comming back around I fire another burst at the engines of the warbird. Firing torpedoes and Phaser cannons. Before pulling up hard and spinning to avoid the phaser banks and ships tracking systems.

OFF: Ok not used to nicknames played star wars to much they always use number designations. I am hawk

Relic searched visually, and by sensors, for Jonas. He was nowhere in site.

Not long later...

Relic picked up Jonas's lifesigns on a near by planet.

=/\= Falcon to Jonas=/\=

Do you hear me?

No answer

Jonas, this Relic, do you hear me?

Still no reply

Heads towards a Warbird sitting at the back of the line. Pulls around to open fire with 2 standard torpedoes and lines up the ship with pulse phasers as well.

LIghts flash red seirens scream in my ear as two more warbirds decloak either side and sligtly infront of the warbird i was tracking the imediatly open fire trying to track my fighter. I pull every manuvuer i know to stay alive but some of the shots are getting closer.

=/\= Falcon this is Hawk. I need some help here. I think i may have bitten off more than i can chew =/\=

=/\= No problem Hawk =/\=

Relic gets a lucky shot at the warbird's warp core.

=/\= Hawk, the warbird is gonna breach =/\=

Relic gets to a safe distance.

=/\= Falcon to New Orleans =/\=

How many Romulan Vessels are there left?

Aye sir. *jumps in the beta 2 fighter cock-pit*

*jonas checks beta two fighter*

Everythings green sir, if we encounter fighters,do you want us to fly in Tri formation, wave, or trail. Or will we be flying single,one-on-one.

(OFF:Tri=shaped like an upside down v, wave=line up side by side,trail=lead ship-my ship-collins ship, lined up front to back,Single= engage ships by self.)

Climbs into wraith 3 and begins all pre-power up sequnces before engaging the main power core then the back up core. "All systems Comming online Sir My ship is preped and ready to go" "Computer Set comms up Beta 1, Beta 2 and New Orleans in Slots 1 2 and 3 repectivly" The Canopy comes down over the fighter and life support system come online. "Now i get to see how well these things fly.... or i dont see anymore" he says to himself.

"Understood Sir. I will provide a alussive target around the New Orleans. Do we know if we are taking on fighter class vessels as well as Capital Ships"

Preps the remaining Computer Sub-systems they come online without fault. Computer say:"The Fighter is operating at 100% Capacity".

"Would any of you pilots like to have a wing man?"

OFF: I thought we had only 6 wraiths

(OFF: There are 8 of each class onboard...)

Jonas and Relic take another pass at the Norexan, and does some damage to it's disrupter array. Relic's fighter is damaged by a photon.

=/\= Urgent, this is Falcon. =/\=

my Wraith has been severely damaged by a Romulan Torpedo, I'm heading back to the ship. Jonas is know in command. I'll return as soon as I can.

=/\= Falcon Out. =/\=

(OFF: Jonas did you have a nickname? I thought you did, but I can't remember it.)

=/\= Nice to see you flying again Falcon =/\=

Pulls a Inverted S manuover and banks hard to line up his guns againist the dissabled warbird. "Targrets Computer" Red boxes apear on the hull of the ship via the HUD and i target and fire on as many phaser banks and torpedo bays as i can with that pass. Less and less fire coming from the warbird.

OFF: I posted last but nobody else posted so i didnyt post again. (dont like to double post)

Pulling up into a invert i flip the fighter over and track my phaser cannons over the hull of one of the warbirds. then i dive across the hull of the ship before targeting the next ship. Hitting the bridge and causing a hull breach. Air flows from the cracks and then stops.

=/\= Nice to see ya Falcon =/\=

Relic fires a few photons at on of the Romulan birds, just before the breach occured. Two of the three birds were destroyed. The other, was severely incapacitated.

Anthony headed back towards the damaged bird.

=/\= Falcon to Hawk =/\=

Ignore the bird, and look for another target.

OFF: This board is going slow. I'd post more, but I don't want to continue doing so by myself. Just like Anthony wouldn't when I was gone.

"Single Jonas."

Relic suits up, and waits for the order to disenbark.

=/\=Commander Damon, upon the first shot being fired we'll come about then i'd like 2 of your Wraith class fighters to cloak then go to the attacking ships aft, decloak and bumbard them with fire. Any questions? (Hopefully you'll buy us some time.)=/\=

(Edited by Julia Rellek at 12:29 am on Aug. 11, 2003)

OFF:Sry, i tried to think of a better way to word it   LOL!

*enters running, with Vinnie Teterini,Conner McCloud and Lucas Bailey*

"Mr. Damen, Might we be of assistance, we can fly fighters, even though we seem like were from the prehistoric age."

OFF: the last line is a joke,even hough all four are mine...just wanted to apologize.--LB

*all four hop in a  fighter, and do the pre-flight check*

Zynth: Systems Green,all go.

Teterini: Systems green, im go.

McCloud:System Green, lets klick ass.

Bailey: Same here,green, ready to go.

Mr.Damen, you  ready?

(Edited by Zynth at 7:12 pm on Aug. 13, 2003)

Engines on, engageing

*the fighter flies out of the hanger,as does  vinnies,conners,lucas,and zynth's.(in order of names:Wraith 4,5,6,7)

*the ship rocks a little, he engages impulse*

OFF:Understood

=/\= Wraiths we have clearance to attack the Romulan ships =/\=

Pulls the fighter around in a tight loop. As i level out from the loop the computer sirens scream out. "Torpedo Lock" With out thinking I put the fighter into a Corkscrew and dive. Three seconds into the dive i pull up and level off heading towards the romulan Warbird that had a target lock on me. "Computer bring up weapon targets on the Warbird. Place them on the heads up display" Around the Warbird Green squares tighten into red boxes as the targeters find the weapon ports. I target the first two Phaser banks with my micro-Torpedoes. I squeeze the trigure and the streak away about a second apart.

Pulling up and over the top of the ship i spin my fighter and then pass over the war bird. Comming over the other side. Phaser banks start to try and track me. I spin down and pull through the engine wash. A Phaser blast passes close to my fighter partialy deflecting off my shields. "Shields down to 56%. Do you wish to divert power from weapons to Charge your shields?" "No" I think to myself, "That was to close". =/\=Wraith 3 to Wraith 1. I made a run against one of the warbirds i think they have been modified to track fighters. I almost got fried by one of the Phaser banks. Just a heads up there=/\=

=/\= Confirmed Falcon =/\=

Spining back on the Warbird at maximum torpedo range. I try to get a target lock "Computer Fire all torpedoes. Aim them all at this lock, on my mark "Confirmed". The lock beep becomes a tone indicate my lock. "Mark" Torpedoes fire out one after another 6 in total. against the warbird each hitting within half a second of each other overloading the shields bringing the shields down. "Computer target there sheild generator" a red square on my HUD encompasses the location of the shield generator. I switch over to pulse phasers and and shower the target with fire and explosions. =/\= I have got you a open target here New Orleans If you have a moment to finish it off =/\=

Relic forgets about Jonas for the time being.

*I need to keep my mind on the Romulans.*

Relic gets in range of the nearest vessel, and fires his two standard torpedoes. After some more attacks with his phaser cannons and mini-photons, Relic disabled a Romulan Destroyer.

Relic attacks the nearest, of the three, warbird. He damaged it's left impulse engine.

*####, I want weapons, not engines, weapons.*

Relic continues to fire on the warbird. He gets damage done to its port disruptor banks.

=/\= As long as they don't move =/\=

they should be destroyed or severely damaged. If you see the other two leave, fire on them at long range. Maybe we can pin them there.

OFF: I'm Falcon, your Hawk.:)
