OFF: yes but this is emergency mission 1.
3 minutes, sir.
No time to take you to sickbay... Computer activate EMH, on the bridge.
"Coming about... Commander, a Dreadnought has locked disruptors on us!"
Core has been ejected and is now locked in a tractor beam.
Reroute available power to shields.
So what the #### are we suppose to do, just sit here while those #### Romulans attack the station?
Tom, organize the shuttles, if you need people to pilot them you have my permission to ask anyone.
A comm channel comes in from the shuttlebay=/\= We're just about ready to launch, Captain. Lets hope this works... =/\=
=/\= I doubt it, sir. There are multiple warships in close proximity. We would never stand a chance. =/\=
Helm, set coarse and engage.
(OFF: Create characters at the Starfleet HQ forums, as we have all docked there now.)
=/\= Karelia to Tiberon, apparently, we fell into a Romulan trap. An additional battlefleet has entered the system, and vessels are already dropping out of warp. Be prepared to disengage from the station in 5 minutes. Karelia out. =/\=
The station's been hit!
ready all weapons and prepare to fire!
Helm, set an intercept course with the lead vessel
Soran fire as soon as we are close enough.
How long till intercept?
The EMH appears"Please state the na-- Captain!"
The Doc takes a hypospray out of his medkit and injects Keach
"That will help with the pain, Captain."
The EMH carries the Captain into the ready room as a makeshift sickbay
"Too bad my Sickbay was destroyed..."
"Perhaps today is a good day to die."
"Helm, bring us about. Soran, return fire with all we got"
OFF: what? how?

I posted right when you did and couldn't leave without editing it
ON: Send the core towards a pocket of ships and detonate!
(OFF: I guess I have to do it...)
"Rerouting power now, sir."
that sounds too dangerous for the ship to try.
Captain, I recommend we not do this it could tear the ship apart.
=^= yes, better cross your fingers. Good luck Ensign=^=
Ok, we must do everything we can to support structural integrity, this might get a little bumpy.
is there any way we can help the station first?
The Tiberon dropped to impulse and once again, re-engaged on a new heading toward Avalon
=A= Understood Admiral =A=
taps his combadge
=^= Attention all crew, red alert, battlestations! report to the ship at once =^=
"Engines online, Captain. Setting course for the lead vessel, full impulse."
"Warp drive is offline! Beginning pattern Omega One..."
I've lost port thrusters! Wait, I've just recieved a message... the Sequoia is not coming to assist us. We need the Cortez as soon as possible!
(OFF: The number of ships comes close to that of the Dominion invasion force of DS9.)
(Edited by Tom Karelia at 11:49 pm on Aug. 11, 2003)
The ship shudders hard again"Commander, I'm reading a warp core breach in less than 30 seconds!"
What's the status of our engines?
Can we muster enough power to get out of here?
"Captain, I think I have an idea as to how we can get to warp. If we launch all the warp shuttles, and tightly surround the ship, I believe we can extend their warp fields enough to encompass her."
yes sir, we are perfectly safe here.
=^= Okay ready up here... =^=
Tiberon crew prepare for warp shuttle jump
Red Alert!
=^= ...Alright Tom, you may begin =^=
The shuttles and the Tiberon drop to impulse just long enough to change course and re-enter warp
alright ensign.
now, we need a meeting.
taps combadge
=^= All bridge crew report to the observation lounge =^=
*hears the comm from his quarters and gets up in a hurry*
*he runs through the corridors and into a turbo lift*
"bridge"
*he exits the lift with exhaustion*
Yes Captain, I am here.
takes his position at Tactical
Daniel hears the alert.*I guess I'll go to my office.*
(OFF: Shouldn't it be mission 4?)
(Edited by Daniel Nerotis at 9:25 pm on Aug. 10, 2003)
Aye Captain, weapons are fully charged and ready to fire.
Tom, go into attack pattern Delta 5
Soran, fire at will!
Open a channel
relay this message "This is Jeff Keach of the Tiberon, why have you attacked a Federation Space Station. Power down your weapons and prepare to surrender.We will not tolerate this unwanted attack of our station."
Keach is thrown around in his seat, but keeps workingDivert all available power to the shields,
Return fire!
Evasion pattern Omega 1
Damage report, anyone.
Damage Report!
Just as Soran finished his report the ship was hit with a violent crash that sent debree flying, Keach was hit with some of this flying mess. It caught him in his back just below the shoulderAhh, dammit! he yelled as he fell to the ground.
He struggled with his arm to tap his combadge to call sickbay but couldn't do it
"We're venting plasma!"
Our shields are down to 66%
Firing torpeoes. *three torpedoes are fired, they strike the Romulan ship on it's port side*
Their shields are down to 43% firing phasers *phaser blasts are launched in quick succession, bang.. bang.. bang..*
Their shields down to.. 40%... 35%... 28%
Keach enters from his ready room with his shoulder wrapped upI sure hope the Cortez gets here soon.
(Edited by Jeff Keach at 12:07 am on Aug. 12, 2003)
"Their firing again!"
The crew is jolted from their seats
"This console isnt working..."
Tom goes to the Science console and reroutes helm control to it
"I'm not sure, I can try... We can get outta here if I can get power from the sensors."
OFF: Is the crew of this ship going to be posting in the Joint Missions thread aswell?
Captain, we are unable to fire at any ships because we are going too slow. They are at warp 1 heading for DS12.
"Ok, we'll be out there in 5 minutes."
Tom leaves the bridge to find pilots
"Tom, how's that shuttle project comin'?"
OFF: it would seem so. hmmm.
ON: Mr. Soran try to get full power to our shield and structural integrity.
OFF: I thought personally both ships were going to be posting in the joint missions forum. I was told to have the cortez post in that forum... So I don't know......
they probably won't get it, they have been captured.
Alright set course to intercept the shuttles.
Red Alert!
=/\= Captain, I will have to be there through the comm. I cant exactly beam over at the moment. =/\=
Make whatever repairs that you can?
Soran, Bring weapons online, load all torpedoe bays, and await your orders.
Their firing!
Tom is thrown from his seat as the entire ship shudders
Weapons are at full strength, shields down to 72%
damage to decks 4 through 8, sections 10,11,12,13,14. Life support failure in those sections
=/\= Soran to security, clear out all of decks 4-8 =/\=
"No, we have to eject the core. I suggest we make the best of it by pushing the core towards the Romulans with an inverted tractor beam."
Captain, detonating the core would cause an explosion that could destroy half the ship
do it. Tom.
Hail the station, tell them we have destroyed 5 of their ships, but 4 more are on their way. Also we can't out manuever them. With no warp core.
"Aye sir, engaging at maximum speed, which happens to be 1/4 impulse..."
initiating shield power servos...
shield upgrade complete Captain.
Sensors indicate the Romulan ships are nearing the outer boundries of DS12's sensors.
OFF: Since the Tiberon and the Cortez are fighting the same battle shouldn't they post in the same forum?
how long till we reach the station?
let them know we're coming
=/\= Karelia to Omega Fleet. All ships will set course to Avalon Station immediately. Do not stop for ANYTHING else unless under my DIRECT order. =/\=
=/\=Yes I am sorry ensign I almost forgot about you. You may stay there if you wish.=/\=
(Edited by Jeff Keach at 6:30 pm on Sep. 4, 2003)
Yes Commander,
initiates the proper commands
torpedoes loaded I await further orders.
firing first spread
*the torpedoes impacted on the shields as they illuminated with a green tinge*
Minimal Damage to their ship, their shields down to 89%
Firing second volley... watches the spread fly towards the RC ship
Shields at 83%
See what you can do about it.
Can you contain it?
Helm, get us out of here fast!
Soran release the Core, let'em have it!
OFF: sorry Tom I had other things in mind that's why I deleted the post
Done, sir.
Lance: what's the status of the warp core?
Tom: head for the station, we'll try to out flank them, fastest speed.
Soran: fire at any threatening vessel.
Tara: got any suggestions on how we could destroy more of their ships?
(Edited by Jeff Keach at 10:37 pm on Aug. 20, 2003)
=/\= Shuttlecraft Cochrane to USS Tiberon. Captain, we are ready to begin the procedure anytime you are. =/\=
=/\= Acknowledged =/\=
As the shuttles simultaneously enter warp, the Tiberon enters with them. The shuttles all employ tractor beams to assist the Tiberon in keeping up.
are we reading any shuttles? open a channel, tell them we are on our way.
=/\= At warp, I dont really have a choice. Karelia out. =/\=
Helm bring the engines online, and prepare to engage.
Aye, sir, executing Delta Five.
returning fire.
The torpedoes hit their ventral shields, shield effectiveness down to 67%
They've sustained damage to 6 decks and their shield generators.
OFF: just how many ships are we talking about here?
incoming torpedoe! brace for impact!
(OFF: Thanks, make me look dumb by deleting the order...)
(Edited by Tom Karelia at 12:10 am on Aug. 12, 2003)
done sir.
*they watch the core on the viewscreen hurdling towards the fleet*
detonation in 3...2...1... mark! a split second pause before it happens... BANG
The most violent explosion any person does not want to be in.
*seconds later the damage was visible*
"4 of their 9 ships have been obliterated, and two others are heavily damaged, but two Dreadnoughts and one cruiser remain"
"those two other ships can and may fire on us still"
(Edited by Soran at 9:17 pm on Aug. 12, 2003)
No, they post here. Communications can go between both forums, though...
Mr. Soran tactical readiness, I don't want to be surprised suddenly.
OFF: Looks Like this Character Is Not Deleted yet...
(Edited by Josh Teal at 11:40 am on Aug. 23, 2003)
=/\= I have been monitoring the conversation, to keep myself updated, Captain. I have detected several shuttlecraft leaving DS12. I can alter our course to intercept them, if you approve, sir? =/\=
(OFF: So everyone knows, I would like us to arrive at Avalon in about 12 real life hours.)
