Expansion Fleet - Avalon Archive

*On board the Loxian flagship, the Prime Commander is looking at the viewscreen, as his ship is firing immediately upon the station.*
"Soon, this will be over, and Loxius will be the primary power of this sector again!"
*Suddenly, their weapons stop firing at the station. The Prime Commander turns around to look at his tactical officer.*
"Why did you cease fire! We've got a perfect opening now! Fire weapons, NOW!"
Tactical officer: "Sir, I'm being locked out of my panel. I can't access any system any more!"
"WHAT?"
Computer: "Auto-destruct sequence has been initiated. Countdown 5 minutes."
"WHAT?!?"
*The Prime Commander slams his fist on the chair arm.*
"Someone is tampering with our system! Get control back of the ship, NOW!"
*Suddenly, the Loxian flagship comes about to face its own smaller Loxian fighter ships, and opens fire... Instantly, 6 smaller fighters are destroyed. Next, a salvo of torpedoes is launched, destroying 4 more Loxian ships. No firepower is directed anywhere near the Starfleet vessels.*
Tactical officer: "Sir, we're destroying 10 of our own ships, and there's no way I can get access to any system at all... engines, weapons, shields... Not even the auto-destruct sequence!"
*The Prime Commander furiously gets up from his chair, pushes the tactical officer aside, and attempts to take control over the panel himself. But he too, is being locked out no matter what. At that moment, the flagship fires another salvo of torpedoes as well as disrupter fire, destroying 12 more ships.*
Computer: "Four minutes to auto-destruct."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

OFF: In-character you don't know what is going on, but basically what happened is that the Skytoucher took control back over its own ship, as well as over the flagship.

(OFF: The Ares is supposed to be joining the Tiberon, but it seems her crew has deserted her.)

=^=Understood Captain Karelia, the captain is currently busy, i will forward it to him=^=

OFF: I'm not sure where drex is....last i heard he was busy heading his own division,i think....

*the Ares slowley manuvers between the ships, though battered and broken, the ares was luckily not as badley damaged as the other ships that engaged the loxians, the ares slowly stops above avalon*

=^=This is Commander Malcolm to Avalon, and all other Starfleet ships in the area, My ship is fine, i am going to beam over all non essential crew at this time to aid in repairs once our ship is repaired,which shouldn't take long, 4-5 hours max...we beat'em guys....=^=

*the ares beams over all the crew to avalon except for the the essential crew(helm, etc...)*

OFF: okay,oh, and i hope i didn't sound too pushy,pissed off...i was just anxious...

*malcolm sits in his chair*

"Set a course to the venture, max warp...we're gonna back the station up..."

*a course is plotted to where the battle against the loxians is raging*

*some time later...the ship drops out of warp and "descends" upon the mass chaos of the battle*

"All stations report...."

*the stations report*

"Ready the weapons and fire on my mark....."

*enters the bridge*

its good to be back
*walks op to the captains chair*

commander how is evertthing doing

OFF: I take it that this ship isn't coming along. There's no problem with that, though, the Tiberon will do just fine in the Loxian battle. Maybe the Ares could jump in the story later on, after the Loxian battle, when the Starphoenix reconstruction mission begins.

*With the battle being over, Malcolm oversee's the repairs...as he awaits the recovery of the Captain*

(OFF: You could play others' characters through your post until they decide to come back.)

Sarah Rajnus reporting for duty ?.......

helm get us closer to the lead ship and try to break of their course

commander whats the status of the lead ship

keep fireing weapons on hte lead ship

*With the battle displayed on the Ares view screen commander malcolm notices the main ship heading towards avalon*

=^=This is Commander Malcolm of the Ares, The main Loxian ship istrying to make a direct assault on Avalon...=^=

*thinking quickley the commander orders an increase in speed,trying to beat the ship to the station, it focuses all of its firepower on it*

OFF: Okay, i;m gettng a little bored right now...so maybe i'll just say that i've re routed all of the control panels to on central area and then join the fight against the loxians...sound good to you karelia???

Decent, a little slow...

"The flag ship has taken considerable damage,but is relentless, we can hold'em,keep'em distracted while the others deal with the rest of the fleet."

*The ares just bairley beats the Flagship to the station, then it does an about face, facing head on with the flagship, the ares aims its weapons towards the flagship and begins to barrad (not sure if correct term) the flagship forcing it to find a different path to avalon...the flag ship still continues to bombard the ares,but the ship holds...*

=^=Ares to all Avalon and the other ships...=^=

=^=this is the ares,we've managed to hold the flagship at the moment, ...we'll be able to hold'em for a while,just finish off the rest=^=

=^=Malcolm out=^=

OFF: by my calculations there are about 88 fully operational Loxian vessels in total, including the 2 very large ships.  There are about 12 ships damaged (including the flagship).  22 of the ships are disabled.

yes....welcome david

=^= Avalon Station to U.S.S. Excalibur =^=
This is a secure channel. We believe that we may soon be under attack from a large fleet of the Loxian Government. We will require your assistance to limit damage and casualties to a minimum. Please set immediate course to Avalon Station, near the Expansion Nebula.
=^= Vorak out =^=

*The Loxian flagship continues firing upon its own Loxian ships. One by one, they are disabled or destroyed... The Prime Commander looks at the viewscreen in despair.*¨
"Has anyone been able to regain control over their station yet? ANYONE?"
*But everyone answers negative. There seems to be no way to regain control over the ship.*
Computer: "Two minutes to auto-destruct."
*The Prime Commander cries out in rage.*
"It must have been the Loxian spy device on that ship! SOMEONE must have decided to use it against us, and betrayed us!"
*While out in space, more and more Loxian ships get destroyed, if not by the flagship then by Starfleet, the Prime Commander's second in command approaches him.*
"Sir, we must abandon the ship. It is going to explode in less then two minutes, and if we remain here we will all be killed. It is impossible to regain control over the ship in less time than that."
*The Prime Commander sighs in defeat.*
"You are right... How many ships of us are left intact?"
*Another officer pushes some buttons on his panel.*
"Umm... only 12... no, make that 11... No, just 10 now... In fact..."
*The Prime Commander stops him.*
"I get the idea! We're lost! The entire Loxian fleet is destroyed, and all we can do is save ourselves and limp back home!"
*Then he turns to his second in command.*
"Find the Loxian ship in the best shape available still. We will beam over there and make our escape."
*The second-in-command nods, pushes some buttons and locates one of the ships.*
"The one over there in the rear wing, sir. It is one of the few ships left sustaining minimum damage. Shall I announce the other ships to retreat as well?"
*The Prime Commander gives him a stern look.*
"No! They will not know of our escape. They will continue fighting to the death!"
"But..."
"THAT is my decision!"
Computer: "One minute to auto-destruct."
"We're running out of time, we have to go!"
*Suddenly, some of the other bridge officers jump up.*
"Sir, aren't we to come with you and beam over to that one Loxian fighter?"
*The Prime Commander looks around with a grim smile.*
"There just isn't enough space on one fighter, for all the people on this ship. But you will have the honour to die in the line of duty to your Loxian Government."
*The officers want to jump up in protest, but the Prime Commander swiftly takes his disrupter weapon, and fires upon them. Then he nods at his second-in-command.*
"Time to go now, there's nothing left here for us, but the taste of defeat."
*They leave the bridge and head to the transporter room. Soon thereafter, they beam over to the Loxian fighter... As the battle goes on in space, the flagship destroying the last remaining Loxian fighters, one of the fighters retreats and goes to warp, back to the Loxian homeworld, but everyone else is too busy with the battle to notice it. The last surviving Loxian ships fire in despair on the Starfleet vessels, but they are now hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned... And then the final moment happens... The Loxian flagship violently explodes, destroying two more Loxian fighters in the shockwave, and space is filled with debris. Only two small and heavily damaged Loxian fighters remain... facing the fleet of Starfleet ships in a much better shape... There is no winning this battle, and the two Loxian fighters soon realise this... Instead of fighting on against their enemy, they admit in defeat and set course toward each other... In a matter of moments, they collide with each other and both explode... Only debris is left, no Loxians survivors... An entire fleet is obliterated, thousands of Loxians are killed. But the battle is over...*

OFF: don't go after the one escaped Loxian fighter, the idea is that nobody noticed it... They won't form a threat any more anyway, but they need to be able to return to their homeworld for another different, future storyline.

*The prime commander stood at the bridge of the flagship and looked with disgust at the viewscreen, displaying the battle. Another officer approaches him.*
"Sir, the battle is not progressing exactly as planned. Half our fleet is disabled or destroyed, and this ship had suffered some damage too. Starfleet has apparently received some reinforcements of other ships."
Prime Commander: "Then repair the damage to our ship! Those ships that were destroyed, suffered this fate because they were obviously too weak! It is only what they deserved! We still have 88 operational ships, which is far more then what Starfleet has come up with."
"But prime commander, their ships are..."
Prime Commander: "I don't want to hear it! Activate the ship's engines, we're pushing through the lines to attack Avalon Station itself! Prepare teams to board the station. If we can criple their station, where their attacks are apparently being coordinated from, then they will be in chaos."
"But sir..."
Prime Commander: "DO IT!"
"Yes sir..."
*The large flagship begins moving closer to Avalon Station.*

=/\= Captain Karelia to the U.S.S. Ares. We could use some help carrying supplies to stock the reconstruction of the StarPhoenix base on Dantor. Our holds are full, and we could use any help you could render. Karelia out. =/\=
