Messages - The Heraan

#1
Warmaster Ar'Krakh - Gallifreyan Citadel of Adun

Ar'Krakh began to feel an emotion that he had never before experienced, one that the Heraan had no word for. The Terran word for it was "fear". It was becoming more and more obvious to him that, despite his own nigh invulnerability, that Taurik, the leader of the Gallifreyans, their so called "Nil'kimas", was going to best him. Defeat was something Ar'Krakh had never known, and now that he began to suspect his own defeat was near, the thought of the Gods' retribution frightened him far more than Taurik's blade. And as if to confirm his fears, he heard their presence in his mind.

"It was too much to ask that you simply destroy their whelp of a figurehead. We have placed much trust in the Heraan, warmaster, and it seems that such trust was sorely misplaced."

Ar'Krakh began to feel a pounding feeling in every neuron of his extremely powerful mind, and suddenly, power as he had never known began to run through his body. He could feel the intense mental energy of the Na'jigat all around him, and was deathly afraid that they were killing him. The sensation was torturous, their energy coursing through him, every particle of his form burning as if it were actually ablaze. The pain was excruciating, but it also began to have another effect. It began to make him stronger.

His mind, however, was no longer his own. He was still completely self aware, but somehow, felt that his thoughts were being guided. The realization came to him... the Na'jigat were inside him, controlling him in a way, empowering him in another. As he fell upon Taurik once more, no longer did he fear his own defeat. In fact, he was certain of his impending victory.

He projected his mind's voice for all to hear, but it was not his own words that emanated therefrom. "I am Na'jigat!" screamed the warmaster, now visibly aglow with the psionic energy of the entirety of the Na'jigat collective consciousness.

Field Elite Du'Nakh - Aboard Heraani transport skimmer

Du'Nakh took a moment to brush some dirt from the leg plates of his golden armor. He paced around the lines of other Heraan, wishing they were on solid ground. He didn't have a fear of flight, by any means, but rather felt at home on the ground, where he is most effective as a warrior. After hundreds of years, they had finally found and invaded Gallifrey itself, and he was stuck on this cramped troop transport.

"Contacts ahead," the pilot projected to the soldiers. "Prepare for insertion."

The transport could be felt slowing and swiveling so that it's hatch would face the enemy. The door opened, and Du'Nakh felt the warmth of the sun on his face as he leaped from the ship. As his troops lined up behind him, the elite surveyed the enemy. His acute vision could pick out the escape pods atop the hill, and the teal-collared officer who seemed to be in charge.

"Warriors!" he sent to get his team's attention. "We have our target."

U.S.S. Iroquois / Mission 1: "Here Comes The Cavalry"

A siren sounded from the control panel in front of the Heraani weapons officer. "Master, the Starfleet ship has just received substantial reinforcements!" the officer projected to his master. "We should consider retreat!"

Suddenly, the ship master stood, drew his plasma pistol, and shot the officer, spraying the console behind him with the charred remnants of his cranium.

The master stood and projected telepathically to his entire command crew. "The Gods do not tolerate cowardice, and nor do I! Ready plasma lances and cannons, and order the ships forward! We will crush the Starfleet ships in the name of the Na'jigat!"

U.S.S. Normandy / Mission 5 "The Great Blue Yonder"
December 09, 2007, 12:36:47 AM
(OFF: No god moding, HK...)

The Heraani commander stared vengefully at the upstart Gallifreyan. "I knew it would only be a matter of time before the gods-damned Gallifreyans showed up!"

He then perked up. "Wait, I know you." Despite the fact that the Heraan had no mouths, the proverbial grin on his face was obvious. "Raszagal, the fallen Templar. How quaint. You honestly dare to stand between me and my prey? You could have been a great general of our armadas. Even I would have been proud to serve the one Gallifreyan to revere the Na'jigat as the gods they are. But you let that bumbling fool Techerakh dissuade you, and it has become apparent that you are nothing but a pathetic pawn of their misguided ways. While killing you will be no great achievement, your death will bring me untold pleasure."

The commander then raised his gauntlet blades, and lunged at Raszagal.

(OFF: It's not going to work, a Betazoid just doesn't have the power to do something like that. Besides, that kind of telepathy in a character needs to be approved by the higher-ups, since it can lead to what we call the "superman complex".)

"You incessant creature!" the commander forcefully projected toward Raszagal. He clambered onto the beam, summoned his strength, and leaped, footfirst, toward the Gallifreyan.

U.S.S. Normandy / Mission 5 "The Great Blue Yonder"
December 08, 2007, 09:40:20 PM
Suddenly, some of the Heraani soldiers began to fire into a totally different direction, and their plasma fire fell upon open ground. The commander, confused by this, searched outwards with his mind, and found nothing.

"You fools! It is a ruse! Continue firing on the humans!"

The commander searched again, but this time, for the one who dared cause this distraction. He found the culprit, a Betazoid underling. The commander, with rage in his eyes, sprinted at full speed toward this puny telepath, and lunged at him, blades searing, with all of his power.

"Press the attack!" the Heraani field commander screamed at the top of his telepathic "lungs". "The human dogs mush not gain control of the Holy Particle!"

The Heraani commander ignited his energy gauntlets, and found his target, a pair of human snipers behind a concealed embankment. Swiftly, he ran toward them, using his psionic speed to dodge in and amongst the phaser and plasma fire with ease, and leaped upon the two humans, plunging his energy blades into their chests, and watching the life drain from their eyes.

The bolt of phased energy reflected off of the commander's golden-hued alien armor, leaving nothing but a small grey scorch. He then used his psionic power to do something otherwise impossible; curve energy away from himself. The phased bolts ended up scattering in multiple directions, most in the general vicinity of the Starfleet troops. He was about to pounce onto the insolent human officer, but was interrupted by Raszagal's foot hitting his armor with heavy force. He was knocked to the ground again, and one of his bracers was broken from his armor.

U.S.S. Rivendell / Mission 13: "The Heist"
February 16, 2008, 07:01:51 PM
(OFF: Haha, that's harsh. You'd think that telekinesis would qualify a race for assimilation... but I won't complain.)

The Heraan were deep in battle with the Borg, when all of a sudden, every invading drone simultaneously dematerialized. Before they could celebrate their victory in chasing off the Borg, the ship rocked heavily, coming under fire from the Borg cubes.

The Heraan, despite their ruthless campaign against the galaxy, were not without valiancy. The two escort frigates readily maneuvered to absorb the weapons fire, allowing the damaged but operable Adjudicator to escape into a slipstream.

U.S.S. Rivendell / Mission 13: "The Heist"
February 12, 2008, 04:58:04 PM
Three heavy Dechanik class frigates dropped from slipspace into the vicinity of the Rivendell. The lead ship moved closer to the battered Starfleet vessel, it's two escorts flanking close behind.

"Fleet Master," came the telepathy of one of the Heraan bridge officers, "The Starfleet vessel appears disabled. The hull integrity is such that we could launch a salvage party."

"Indeed," came the Fleet Master's response. "Send parties, tell them to go for our data module first, and retrieve theirs while we are there."

The officer got up to go organize the raiding parties, but was stopped by the Fleet Master. "Wait," he said, "I'm going myself."

U.S.S. Rivendell / Mission 13: "The Heist"
February 16, 2008, 06:33:00 AM
"Fleet Master!" came the frantic communication of the lead frigate's temporary commander. "The Borg have arrived, and are holding the Adjudicator in a tractor beam!"

The fleet master halted his search through a Starfleet cargo container. "Open all plasma banks, destroy them!" came his stern reply.

"They are seven vessels strong, fleet master! We are no match!"

"Seven cubes! By the Gods!" The elite warrior calculated for a moment. "Do not engage them in a space battle," he ordered. "Repel their attacks, but do not counter-attack. Draw them into a hand-to-hand conflict, where we have the advantage! Whether it is on the Borg vessel or our own makes no difference. We will be returning immediately."

The Fleet Master and his team quickly made their way through the dark corridors of the Rivendell, and boarded their transport vessel. Engaging stealth measures, they made haste for the Adjudicator at once.

U.S.S. Rivendell / Mission 13: "The Heist"
February 16, 2008, 03:57:50 PM
(OFF: Heraan is both singular and plural, Heraani is possessive. :P )

The fleet master and his team arrived back onboard the Adjudicator, and met up with a large number of Heraani forces that were gathering to push the Borg off of the ship.

"The demon Borg have dared to set foot on our holy instuments of war!" he projected to the gathering. "We will show them our true mettle! If you should see any of your comrades fall to the Borg, know that their life is forfeit! Cut them down as if they were the demons themselves!"

The fleet master ignited both of his energy blades, and the Heraan behind him charged out, brandishing their plasma rifles or energy bracers. For the most part, they were mopping up the Borg that came near them, possessing greater strength and skill than a Borg drone. However, the Borg's advantage laid in in their sheer numbers. Rarely did a drone make it near the Heraan, but for every drone slain, there was another close behind.

U.S.S. Evolution / Mission 3: "Time is of the Essence"
February 14, 2008, 01:54:49 AM
Ar'Krakh stepped briskly toward the bothersome human, and absorbed the phaser beams with his energy blade. He let his mind reach out and grab the creature, and draw him closer.

"Has anyone ever told you," he projected into Malcolm's mind, "that you are extremely annoying?" The psychic emphasis on the word "extremely" was enough that it caused the lights to flicker slightly.

He haphazardly tossed the counselor aside into the bulkhead, hoping that maybe a broken bone or two would straighten the human out. His elite guard gathered alongside him, and made their way back to their stealth boarding craft, where they proceeded to leave the area under cloak.

The Warmaster of the Heraan leaned closer to the Senior Master Templar of the Gallifreyan Order. "Your god has yet to make the slightest impression on this universe, yet you cling to it like a child, and denounce mine as demons. You are even more foolish than you appear, Techerakh."

The searing green blade disappeared, and the mortally wounded Gallifreyan fell to the deck as Ar'Krakh walked away.

Ar'Krakh jumped into the air, deflecting a strike from Techerakh while kicking Alexia right in the torso, throwing her violently into the bulkhead. "Your companion is a bold one, Techerakh,", he projected.

By this point, the wound in Ar'Krakh's leg had already healed, leaving nothing but a small mark in his leg armor.

"You'll have to do better than that, whelp."
