Dad, you can't use your powers, now go to my quarters and i will meet you there when I can.
**Motions for her dad to leave the brig**
I sorry Sir, he won't do it agian.
*Suddenly the proximity alarm goes off. It indicated that there was a strange object closing on the Rivendell...it looked like an asteriode*
OFF: Daughter 2 has posted in the Rivendell forum
"Is your dad here because our trip to the holodeck?"
*The major walked back to the captains chair*
"So this was some adventure. Ensign Burma, please make contact with the Skytoucher and ask them what happend here!"
----------------------------------
OFF: Skytoucher's mission is in the other topic in this forum
OFF: check skytoucher forum for hail
*The officer all began to work with their normal duties*
OFF: Mr Mason, you are the first helmsman, so there is no one at the helm right now. When another helmsman is assigned to this ship you will have a compagnion but not right now .
*he went on the comm to contact the Skytoucher*
engages the necessary protocols to place forcefield around the aliens
Sir, the aliens are trapped now. But those forcefields won't hold too long while our energy rates drop.
Also the Skytoucher found out that there has been warptravel in this system, like High Command pointed out. We might have to consider alien contact in this sector! And ofcourse we have this M-class planet, which has to be explored.
And all stations are working on an analisis of their systems..but I haven't got all the reports yet."
*Trys to link the Rivendell communications to the probe, but nothing happend, then re-routed the computer at her station to accecpt a input port from the probe*
YES YES YES, Lilque says jumping up and down for joy!
Sir, We can send messages to the skytoucher but not audio is possible we can also recieve data transfers!
But I am not so sure that this is safe sir, just to let you know!
"Is there any way we can get those aliens away again?"
At that moment, the ship begins to shudder and the red alert claxons blaze.
Next, the intensity of the light on the bridge begins to drop, and some panels begin to falter.
Computer: "Warning. Energy at extreme low levels. Structural integrity damaged, insufficient energy to compensate. Hull breach imminent."
"This doesn't look good! What's the status of the ship? Can we shake this thing off?"
Yes sir, understood, running diagnostic on system now!
--watches as the computer works !
Nothing wrong here sir, perfect!
*she runs to the security station to look at the report on the scans, she gently moves the Lt. Lenna and runs back to her station after glancing at the readings*
Lt. keep a close watch on those readings and tell me if anything chages!
Major Hedford, the ship is almost shivering like it was cold or something!
* In the mean time the USS Rivendell moved foreward towards the strange looking asteroide*
"Captain, I've got some strange readings here. According to scans this asteroide is not here. It looks like it's out of phase or something..."
"Goodday Sir. We have just broken free from the strange illusion we were trapped in. We are now trying to contact the Skytoucher and they will inform us what happend during our absence."
*At that moment the Skytoucher answered the Rivendells hail*
=A= USS Skytoucher =A=
This is Captain Göransson, we succeeded in releasing the alien lifeforms and destroying the NSC vessel. We are trying to communicate with the aliens as we speak.
"Ensign Burma, let the Skytoucher now that we are recalibrating our sensor and will assist them in anyway we can"
"Lieutenant to security detail, we need to close off those decks and get those poeple out of those areas"
*the security signalled back*
"yes sir the crew have been relocated to safer areas"
*looks back to Major Hedford*
"Sir, the decks are evacuated"
"Lieutenant Burma, your authorization code please. Everyone else, prepare the escape pods, and prepare to release the forcefields at my order."
Sorry im late sir, I...um... Got stuck...I mean... the new turbo lift door got jammed.
*Looks around and notices everybody is looking at him*
Oops, sorry... Lieutenant Daniel Brooks reporting in as 2nd Helm Officer, sir.
hello Admiral.
I'm Admiral Q of the Q-Continuim I"ve come to spend time with my daughter.
*He winks to the Commander before he turns to the viewscreen*
"Helm is the Skytoucher still in front of us? Make sure you follow them closely because we don't know what's in this system. There can be an hostile force of any kind"
"Miss Lilque, could you please tell me what that is"
*The Major pointed to the "Black" Viewscreen*
"If I am not mistaken we are sucked in right? HELM FULL REVERSE!"
[All available ships, station avalon is under attack from unknown creature, say again, unknown creature has attacked starbase avalon. The stations sheilds are down and their hull is breaching]
OFF: And yes... I know I'm getting my stupid characters mixed up again. Sorry.
(Edited by John Trustin at 8:04 pm on June 4, 2003)
"Sir, it was indeed a glitch caused by this phenomenom we are trapped in."
"All crewmembers accounted for."
*The Major was still checking the engineering console and suddenly, beeps began to sound*
"What the #### is happening, I am reading several power surges on decks 3 and 4. It seems we have sustained some damage from the blast before we went into that illusion. I am shutting down all power on those decks, begin evacuation of those decks Lieutenant Burma. We need to get that fixed when we get back to Avalon Station. Engineering is busy with our propulsion and since the Chief died they have a shortage in men"
OFF: Not to worry , the admiral posted it late :P
mummbles to himself
God help us all
"Goodday gentlemen, what do I hear? Do we have a new mission? I didn't hear much about it, OPS was a bit understaffed...."
*Takes a seat*
"Did we get new chairs....these are how to say painfull :S"
=A= Rivendell out =A=
*The major wanted to walk to the Science post as on that moment the whole ship began to shiver*
"What the #### is happening!.........Report!*
*The major walked back to his chair and as he sat down he saw that the main viewscreen went black!*
*Walks over to the science pannel*
"Well sir, I've got it here. We are in a kind of bubble and there seems no way out of it. There are also no signs of any ships or objects in our vicinity, howfar that may be."
*Continues his scans*
"Sir, I've found something. There seems to be an asteroide in this bubble with us...or something like an asteroide"
*Suddenly the environment they were in began to dissapear. They were still trapped but they began to see the homeworld of the NSC and it's strange moon...it was almost as if they were kept in an illusion*
"What is happening there...we need to run more scans. The Skytoucher is probably getting us out of here...we have to help them in any way we can!"
*walks over to the Engineering console*
"Engineering primary systems are online and working at 89%"
*Keeps working on the engineeringconsole*
Sweat appears on his face when he thinks of a possibility.
"If they manage to get a hold on the whole ship... their power will increase... They will have access to all the knowledge on our databanks, and perhaps even fool other Starfleet starships that are not aware this one is captured. We must not let them have this ship!"
He runs to a control panel.
"All senior officers report here! And on my mark, release the forcefields so the Metatraxi can spread at will on this ship... the more the better!"
Then he pushes some buttons.
"Computer, activate Self Destruct Sequence, delay 5 minutes. Authorisation code Hedford Alpha 548 Delta."
Computer: Authorisation accepted. Require authorisation of one other bridge senior officer.
Hedford looks at his crew.
"Come on... it's the only way to destroy that thing!"
"Hey, the computer detects here that the enemy entity has absorbed all energy that came free from the explosion... and has now left this area... It seems it's going to leave us alone.
But also... I see on long range scanners something of an explosion too... very faint though, its far away from here, but it must be huge to still show up this far on the simple long range scanners of an escape pod...
Well, lets hope someone comes to rescue us here soon!"
We have initiated a high-level scan of the system and obtained some -- interesting -- readings. The planet ahead seems to be an ordinary Class M with no signs of advanced technology. There are, however, faint ion trails in local space, which would indicate that one or more ships have visited this planet within the past solar year. Counselor Stiegler has also sensed residual impressions of life, or life-like, intelligence somewhere in the planet's vicinity. Since the Federation has never explored this system, it is logical to assume that someone got here before us and found this planet interesting. I am transmitting data from my scans to your CSO for analysis.
=A= Skytoucher out =A=
*Skon transmits sensor data to Rivendell *
(Edited by Skon at 12:39 am on April 3, 2003)
-Sir, all systems are working to the best, and the weapons systems are fully operational!
*she holds onto the railing as the ship shivers*
*Runs over to the Science Station*
"Miss Lilque can you link to the Skytouchers probe? That way we can probably send a message or at least make a data transfer."
(Edited by Hedford at 9:34 am on April 9, 2003)
*taps his station*
The ship is safe but I don't know about our weapons systems.
OFF: do we have a tactical chief
*Walks over to the viewscreen*
"Isn't this going a bit to fast......."
OK OK i'm going.
*disappears*
"Sorry admiral, just wanted to know . So this will be just a normal mission. With your permission admiral, we could do a shipwide diagnostic of the main systems. Every departement could do this, that way we would be working very efficient, as the Borg would call it
"
-enginneering, there is a distortion in the hull signature, we need to get it taken care of to proceed with the mission, if you need any help I'm here.
*looks at her panel and the distortion is lessening!*
(Edited by Boris Plechanow at 1:49 pm on April 19, 2003)
OFF: Check the topic "Promotions" in the Division Administration forum
=^= Outgoing distress call =^=
This is Hedford of the USS Rivendell. Our ship is destroyed and we had to abandon with escape pods. We are currently dead in space. I am sending our coordinates with this transmission. Please pick us up at once. We might still be in danger from the hostile entity.
=^= Hedford out =^=
Let's hope the nearest ship will pick us up and get us back to station Avalon. I think the admirals will want to hear about this dangerous entity we discovered..."
I didn't mean to alarm you. (OFF: Hey come in a chat with us in the Chat room)
"That is most fascinating, but we need to clear that if we want to get further with this mission.
Please contact engineering and let them take a look at the Sensorarray, there is something wrong with it."
*Walks over to Lt Isi*
"Miss Isi, please contact the Skytoucher and tell them that they can start scanning this system. We will be in the vicinity to protect them, while they lower their shields"
*checks the status of the weapons from the tactical station*
Our phasers are fully operational, we have a compliment of 35 quantum torpedoes, and 40 tricobalt torpedoes. Although there is a slight variance in phaser power output. This could cause a problem if we need to fire in rapid succession. Other than that the weapons are in order.
OFF: plz forgive me I did not know I had been promoted until late.
I'll be in my ready room.
Hedford you have the bridge
*walks into his ready room*
- it is very strang and I have no idea what is causing this distortion, its almost showing the hull as only partaily there! What would you like me to do sir?
*Is very confused, but waits for further instructions from Hedford*
(OFF: I hate boats)
*Presses his console and the ship comes to a holt and starts reversing*
Skytoucher to Rivendell
Skon reporting an alien warship that appears to be human but they have telepathic abilities.....They believe the Rivendell is in an llision or metal trap.....communication somthing and respond
over and out
I believe that is what it was sir!
"Ok everyone, head for the escape pods! We've only got 5 minutes to evacuate the ship.
=^= Bridge to all personell =^=
The self destruct sequence has been initiated. This ship will be destroyed in 5 minutes. I repeat, this ship will be destroyed in 5 MINUTES! Evacuate the ship at once, all escape pods are available. I repeat, evacuate at once! Do not waste time on gathering your personal belongings, but save yourselves first!
=^= Hedford out =^=
*Hedford checks a console and sees that the program is ready to deactivate the forcefields around the Metatraxi. Only one push and the Metatraxi will be all over the ship in seconds*
"Mr. Burma, you have done a good job. If I make it out of here alive, I will give Starfleet a good report of you. Now, clear the bridge and head for the escape pods. Dont wait for anyone. I must remain last, to make sure everyone is safely off the ship. Only then, I can deactivate the forcefields and release the Metatraxi. Don't wait for me, chances are small I will make it out alive. But you know what the Vulcans say... the needs of the many, outweighs the needs of the few, or the one. Go now, Mr. Burma, there is no time to waste!"
*He stood up*
"Allright people, I want every station to do a diagnostic on their system and then file a report to give to me.
We are on a normal Mission so we can take a look at our systems and maybe we find some minor problems that can be repaired at once. Is everything clear?"
*Sorry my post took so long, I just moved house!*
-Sir, I have no idea, but I will get to you ASAP!
*taps the counsil to find out why it happened and found nothing!*
.....kon...porting.......alien warship......appear human... but use...beings....incredible....telepathic/tele....abilities......believe....Riven.....in....illusion...or....mental "trap"......municating......tachyon beam......espond.
=A=...er out...=A=
heads for the escape pods with a couple people in it
=/\= Burma to security=/\=
conduct a personnel sweep of the entire ship then get out.
=/\= Burma out=/\=
Hedford finally arrives at the last escape pod. The ship was trembling. He wondered what was happening to the enemy entity. Had it withdrawn from the ship? Had it spread inside the ship? He walked into the escape pod and pushed some buttons.
Computer: Warning. 20 seconds before auto-self destruct.
The door closed and he pushed another button, that released the escape pod and thrust it away from the ship at once. Hedford heard a last announcement from the computer, and he knew it was the last one that he would ever hear from the computer of THIS ship.
Computer: Warning. 10 seconds before auto-self destruct.
The pod thrust away, and he looked through the window. He could see several escape pods everywhere, and then he looked at the ship... and he was counting down the last seconds after the last warning he had heard from the ship... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
And the ship exploded violently. A huge, massive and colourful explosion could be seen in space, a vast shockwave of energy spreading from the explosion... his escape pod trembled and he had to hold on to his seat firmly not to be thrown around in the little space the pod provided.
After a little while, all he could see was what remained left of the explosion: residue, pieces flying in every direction. And finally his pod comes to hang still in the air again.
He pushes a button.
"Hedford to all escape pods, is everyone all right?"
engage at 1/2 impulse.
Make it so (just had to add that in hehe)
Hmm i have an idea, Tactical, set the deflector to emmit a cloaking scan, i want to know if there are ANY other ships that could be in here. Get the Skytoucher to do the same out there!
" I wonder if Hedford made it out?"
We are preparing to beam you aboard. Stand by.
=A= Skytoucher Out. =A=
- I'm ready here , Sir
***thinks to self***
(Edited by Daniel Brooks at 9:38 pm on Mar. 20, 2003)
*nods to him and works at sending information about the current situation in small files to the Skytoucher....waits as the last piece of information is complete and waits for a reply.....*
Sir....They have recieved our transmission and are currently sending us the information about they're whereabouts!
[taps his comm badge]
Security detail to deck 3 we have unidentified aliens onboard.
Computer: Warning. 1 minute before auto self-destruct.
"We are ready to be beamed over, and thank you for saving us."
=^= Hedford out =^=
*Says with a smile*
OFF: Julian we are not ignoring you, but when you were away the story continued...we overlooked your post sorry :S
*Whispers*
"I have never read it in any Starfleet's manual"
*He winks and puts a smile on his face*
"Ah Doc, you are the man who can help us. Would you please take the Tactical station and scan the surroundings. We need to know with what we are dealing out here...I am guessing this is all a projection or what you can call an illusion. We are trapped in here and have to find a way out....."
*Hedford went on scanning the strange asteroide, was it real or was it a hoax. In the mean time the Rivendell slowly moved forward*
OFF: at this point, please start posting in the USS Skytoucher forum, most recent mission. The ship will return to station Avalon and then your new positions will be declared.
"Admiral, I wanted to ask you something...is this mission for real?? Or is there some catch, some mission that we are not supposed to know at the beginning?"
We´re ready to warp up when you are admirals.
-Sir, there seems to be a small distortion in the ships hull reading, I have never seen this before, but I figured I would let you know, I will watch it further to see if it changes! (she says to Hedford).
*she watches her panel again *
*Lilque looks at Hedford with a confused look*
Sir, You might want to take a look at this it different thanany distortion I have ever seen!
(Edited by Lilque at 3:59 am on Mar. 26, 2003)
(Edited by Boris Plechanow at 11:29 pm on April 16, 2003)
I am sir, The frequency is open but we can only send small messages because it is a weak signal. I am also running ship wide scans and I am picking up the ship itself but nothing around it..........The space around us seems to be empty sir!
"Ensign Burma reporting on duty as Security Officer."

And he pushes the button.
Computer: Warning. 2 minutes before auto self-destruct.
this ship is destroyed and the forum is closed. It is impossible to make new posts or topics now.
You have all been reassigned to the USS Skytoucher (see other forum on this same board). Please report in for duty there ASAP. In the current mission of the USS Skytoucher, I have recently posted a crew roster, where you will find your name and position on the ship.
Where to, sir?
Sir, our scanners are not working....they only say error!
I have never seen it do that before...let me reroute it for maunla scaning!
Sir we should go to Red Alert , we don't know what is out there or here, wherever we are!
(Edited by Lilque at 12:02 am on April 17, 2003)
Well *whispers* you didn't read to the end of the book did ya? LOL J/k it's the Delta Quadrant, what do you expect? i should just make some new rules for when a ship is in the Delta Quad lol
Lilque? Where is that report??
Are you feeling better, sir? That Virus had you doing some preatty funny things thought! (lol)
**Takes a seat at a station and looks around, Hi Tom, nice to see you agian
Welcome aboard Lt. Lenna, I hope you find the Rivendell a nice place to be! she said to her in a caring voice.
**Looks back at her station and thinks to hereself, YAY I am not the only girl anymore lol well I wasn't before but us woman are making or place lol, she humors herself at this comment**
Sir, I don't mean to bother you but is there anything I can do?
*she puts her head down shyly*
*walks over to the Science station*
"Miss Lilque what are your readings so far? Can you tell us something about this part of space or in what kind of situation we are now?"
*looks at his panel and makes sure it is correct*
