Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

=A= kloek8 to chief medic =A=
" is the chief there?"

[T'lana]

OOC: Because we still do not have an XO I shall take over crew assignment if you wish Taurik. Is Dean coming back at all?

IC:

In the absence of a XO T'lana was next in Bridge Staff rank, so she stated.

"Captain if I may? Mr. Beta has proven himself to be an adequate Tactical Officer, despite the corruption of his subroutines at the time. Might I suggest this is where his talents would be better suited."

[Morgan Freeman]

"Yes, I would like you to run a full scan on the Rivendell and suggest areas of improvement."  Morgan smiled knowing how talented his daughter was and that she was more then he could have ever hoped for.

[T'lana]

"Aye Captain."

[Taurik]

"I apologize, but I am unfamiliar with this 'Jedi Council'. Perhaps you can elaborate. What planet are you from?"

[Taurik]

Taurik listened intently, his face betraying his amazement. "My own abilities are very similar. However, myself, and those of my order, derive our power from within, from the power of our own minds. My order trains for a singular purpose, to defend against and defeat a very volatile and hostile lifeform, the Na'jigat. Like you, we have advanced telekinetic powers, but my caste, the Sentinels, train in psionic warfare specifically. We must do so because it is the only way to combat the Na'jigat, who are beings of pure energy."

Taurik waited for Chaya before continuing.

[Taurik]

Taurik entered the transporter room a moment after T'lana and Chaya. Since it was a Starfleet installation - and he had his khala firmly affixed to his belt - he passed up on donning a phaser.

Once all four of them had arrived, the transporter chief fired up the pattern buffers.

"Energize," came Taurik's single word.

[Taurik]

Almost simultaneously, Taurik drew his own energy weapon. As they moved toward the door, Taurik saw the young woman take position on one side of the door, therefore, Taurik took the other.

Waiting on opposite sides of the door, Taurik and Chaya met gazes. Both were experienced warriors, and it didn't take telepathy for them to be able to read each other's intentions.

The Vulcan master resisted the urge to reach out with his mind to sense the intruders, realizing that any further attempts at telepathic probing may alert them to an enemy presence. Instead, he relied on his more physical senses, and strained to hear anything he could, such as a bootfall.

[T'lana]

=A=USS RIVENDELL TO THE BORG COLLECTIVE=A=

"We would appreciate the return of our Captain, unharmed and not a Borg Drone."

[Luke Voison]

After a relaxing sonic shower in his Quarters and a nice nap on the station. Luke decided that it was time for him to get to know his crew better. After all he's going to be there for a long time, might as well make some friends. He once again boarded the Rivendell and walked through the corridors briskly, heading towards Engineering.

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

OOC: Actually, the Rivendell had been released from the Tractor Beam Projector, but I have changed the post regardless.

IC:

"WE CONCUR. DESIGNATION CHAYA SAR IS CLOSE TO PERFECTION."

The Borg Cube transitioned from transwarp, coming into a parking orbit near the central complex of Unimatrix 01.

Taurik was then beamed to the Borg Queen's Personal Chamber within the Central Plexus.

In her specially designed alcove, the Borg Queen's Synthetic Body was assembled as her decapitated head and synthetic spinal column was lowered in to the body and locked into place. The Neural Interface conduits were then disconnected from the Central Plexus and her body released from it's dock.

The Borg Queen walked slowly and seductively over to Captain Taurik.

"Welcome back Taurik, I missed you."

[T'lana]

"Thank you Mr. Beta, coordinate with engineering for repairs. Good work retrieving the Transwarp Node Mr. Beta, but disobeying a direct order is inexcusable, you put yourself and the the crew in danger. As soon as the repairs are complete, you will report to engineering for diagnostics."

T'lana turned to Givrillian,

"Good work Mr. Sarpedon, you handled the battle situation admirably. Perhaps the Captain will see fit to give you both a commendation." T'lana stated looking to Sarpedon and then to Beta.

Computer: Integration of the Rivendell, complete.

=A=SHIP WIDE=A=

"All hands, this is the Captain, stand down from red alert."

=A=BRIDGE OUT=A=

[Morgan Freeman]

"Very funny, and they told me that Vulcan's don't have a sense of humor.  As for being a Miracle worker, I believe we finished all of the ships repairs 2 days early, your honor I rest my case."  

Morgan got up to get a drink "Would you like something to drink Commander?"

[Taurik]

The captain entered the mess hall exactly at 1800 hours, as soon as the last of the senior staff had arrived. He took his spot at the head of the larger banquet table, "Thank you all for coming," he said. "We are here today, not to discuss battle plans, or to ponder on the happenings of this war, but to celebrate the success of this ship and it's crew, and to honor those members of this crew who have performed above and beyond their call. It is a human custom to hold such honors in a public gathering, and while I believe this shows an undue importance on personal pride, I can also respect the affect it has on morale."

Taurik laid out three oaken cases before him on the table, and chose the first. "Petty Officer First Class Givrillian Sarpedon, for your dutiful and unwavering service to this vessel and it's crew, and for your tireless commitment to your post, I hereby award you with the rank of Chief Petty Officer."

Taurik displayed the new rank pin inside the box, and waited for Sarpedon to stand.
