U.S.S. Rivendell / Mission 13: "The Heist"
January 31, 2008, 04:01:56 AM
Dechtakar watched as the second Gallifreyan vessel was beaten by several salvoes of torpedoes and plasma fire. The ship stood up to enough fire to destroy a small moon, but eventually succumbed.

The Sanctity carried on, however, and was beginning to turn the tide, with the help of the foolish captain of the small freighter that seemed intent on fighting these heavy destroyers. The Gallifreyan weapons, which several Starfleet engineers had dubbed "tetrionic beams" (a portmanteau of tetryon and psionic), were doing a masterful job at carving away layer after layer of heavy battle plate from the Heraani destroyers, and their numbers had been whittled to three, with one of the ships heavily crippled.

"Deploy the Sentinels," was the Thurokiir's only order.

"Yes, Thurokiir." The Sanctity, like any Gallifreyan cruiser, carried a contingent of Templars for hand-to-hand combat, and several highly-trained Sentinels to combat the Na'jigat. But with the advent of the Heraan, it was discovered that the Sentinels also had a knack for giving the weapons systems a considerable boost through psionic channeling. Several Sentinels made their way to the meditation chamber, the central point of all attacks against nearby Na'jigat clusters, and began to channel their power though the ships. Suddenly, the lines along the ship began to glow as brilliant a white as their beams, and dozens, if not hundreds, of tetrionic pulses began spewing forth, wreaking havok on the Heraani ships.

It took very little time for the destroyers to become overwhelmed, and although the Heraan never retreat, they knew they would not survive. As the last of the ships entered it's final death throes, the lines on the Gallifreyan cruiser cooled.

"Master Taurik," came Dechtakar's hail, "the threat is neutralized, for now. There is no doubt the beasts will send more ships after us. I will harbor your crew aboard the Sanctity, and deliver you home without delay."

"Sir, we are in weapons range!" the helmsman called out. Dechtakar, now standing, glared at the holographic viewer.

"Fire all lines!"

The heated lines that ran along the graceful edges of the Sanctity finally released their torrential power, as a lace of tetryon and psionic energies came forth, producing a brilliant, pure-white beam. This beam struck the forward Heraani cruiser, and began to rapidly overwhelm it's shields and boil away it's hull.

As both the Sanctity and her sister fired on the lead vessel, it finally cracked like a nutshell and a blazing fireball erupted, spewing the crew and atmosphere out. This got the Heraan's attention, as the remaining six destroyers turned their attention from their prey to their predators.

"En Taro Adun, Master Taurik."

Dechtakar cut the communications line, and looked to his helm. "Make haste for the Heraani fleet. They will pounce on the Rivendell before we can reach them, it would be best if Master Taurik was not left on his own for longer than necessary."

The helmsman nodded. "Prepare lines for firing as soon as we are in range," the Thurokiir continued.

--Onboard the Gallifreyan cruiser Sanctity--

"Thurokiir," the sensor officer called, "we are receiving the coordinates of the human ship."

Dechtakar was anxious to enter battle with the Heraan after this long, uneventful patrol. "Change our course to match and signal a response."

The Sanctity and her sister patrol cruiser altered course in their slipstream, and the blue corridor seemed to curve ahead of them. They disengaged their slipstream drives, and the two exotic warships dropped back into real space.

"This is Thurokiir Dechtakar of the Gallifreyan battlecruiser Sanctity," he said after opening a communications channel. "We have recieved your distress call, and we stand ready to assist you."

One of the Gallifreyan crewmembers in the medical bay heard a soft but repetitive tone. It was the alarm on Commander T'lana's stasis pod. The alien made his way over to the commander's pod, and found a startling truth; T'lana's body was slipping out of stasis.

"Master Taurik," came the officer's frantic telepathic call. "Your comrade is beginning to fall from stasis! Her condition is dire!"

--Onboard the Gallifreyan cruiser Sanctity--

Dechtakar sat in the hovering seat, several meters above the other Gallifreyan crew onboard the Sanctity. As Thurokiir, that was his right.

The Sanctity and one other Gallifreyan vessel had been on patrol in this area, and had picked up a distress call from a Starfleet ship, the U.S.S. Rivendell. Given their recent alliance with the Federation, Dechtakar ordered his ship to investigate. Not to mention, if memory served him correctly, that was the ship that Master Taurik commanded. "Are we in range yet," Dechtakar asked impatiently.

"No, Thurokiir," came the reply from one of the Gallifreyans below. "But we will arrive in only a few minutes."

Dechtakar was unsatisfied. "Transfer more energy to the drive systems, and warm the lines for firing. Master Taurik is undoubtedly facing many Heraan if he sends a distress call."

The two Gallifreyan attack vessels rocketed toward the source of the distress call at their maximum possible speed.

"We will initiate a quantum slipstream," came the reply of the kiir. "Follow us closely, and we will extend our quantum field around your vessel, drawing you into slipspace."

The comm whistle sounded as an official transmission came in from the Gallifreyan battlecruiser Prodigal Son, Master Techerakh's flagship. One of the ship's kiir¹ was present on screen.

"Greetings, commander," came the kiir's hail. "Master Techerakh is currently resting in his chambers, but wishes us to express his personal condolences on the loss of your honored fallen. We are to escort you personally back to Starbase Avalon."

(¹: Kiir is the Gallifreyan term that roughly equates to a senior officer.)
