Mission 3: The Capture of the U.S.S. Skytoucher

[Taurik]

"Mr. Baklavar, fire a warning shot across the Skytoucher's bow."

[Mitch Walker]

**Shuttle Bay 2**
Mitch smiled at the mention of a 5% increase in manuverablity.  "Sir, that's going to be icing on the cake, once we get in the shields we're going to need to be like a second skin to aviod being seen by sensors.  And I probably don't need to say the faster we can get in and out the better, right?"  

OFF:  Arwen is Aragon's (Stryder) love intrest, she is also the Elven princess, she lives in Rivendell.

*Nesmith came to the bridge*
"Reporting to the bridge Captain, late, but here. What can a doctor do around now?"

[Skon]

=A= Skon to Rivendell =A=

Captain Taurik, I obtained the activation code for the Loxian device and transmitted it to Commander Rasmain. I do not know if he received my transmission. I request permission to beam aboard your ship before you enter the nebula.

[Ferando ONeil]

Captain there are a number of problems with sperating and going into that nebula, as I see it what happens to the crew if the targeting scenors are out and you shoot blindly and hit the wrong ship.

[Sirius Black]

After some time of fidding with controls the usual LCARs beep is heard

"Got it Captain. It'll take 5 minutes to get the shields down."

[Hermes]

OFF: The nebula particles distort subspace communications, most particularly on long range, and render sensors blind. Short range communications will work only  partially (alot of distortion in the sound, and an unclear image on the viewscreen). As for sensors to locate other ships... your sensors will go no further than a meter or so from the ship, let alone detect another ship. Targetting scanners are offline. All you know, is what a distorted view on the viewscreen shows you. Flying and shooting will have to be fully manual, without sensor input.

[Solark Baklavar]

Orpheus suggestion is to split into three ships and flank the Skytoucher. That's what I have received Captain. Weapons are ready on contact. I could also suggest since we are vicinity of Avalon Base. Have there weapons ready and shields up in case on Avalon Base. Or we can use the tractor beam of this ship and that of  the base to "hold" them at bay as well. A double threat tactic if you wish to call it. Do you wish me to have transporter room lock on the hostages and have them put up security shields around the area in the transporter room on this ship so security can come from our vantage point to secure the area once we beam them on board....................Your call Captain.

[Solark Baklavar]

No worries. Captain. I have them on target and IN range. Captain. Phasers locked on engines of Skytoucher. Coordinates are set. Say the word. The engines will be out of commission before they warp a single light year.

(In the tactical viewscreen, the coordinates show that the engines of the skytoucher are in range.  Solark sets the coordinates for the firing sequence and awaits orders to fire.)

Captain. I fire when YOU are ready. Give the word. They are in range now.................................Captain. At your command. All systems go. Ah. Finally some action for this bad boy.................:).

[Taurik]

(OFF: Not the name I would have picked, but I'm fine with it. Besides, it makes sense considering the Rivendell's name...)

[Taurik]

=/\= Taurik to all hands. Patrol the surrounding area and search for the Skytoucher. =/\=

[Mitch Walker]

Mitch stares at the large swirling "cloud" on the viewscreen.  They are flying blind in there, Mitch thought.  Mitch smiled and muttered "Nice...."  

"Captain, we are now entering the nebula.  Ok kids...say goodbye to your eyes."

As the viewscreen went blank.

"Ops, readjust the viewscreen please."  

A static filled picture of the nebula filled the screen.

"Hide and go seek, my favorite."

[Morgan Freeman]

** Section 3 **
Mr. Balkazar, take tactical if you would please.  Helm set course and engage for the nebula.  

=A= Freeman to Taurik =A=
We have set a course and will be standing by to get Miss love out of there when the Skytoucher arrives and the nebula.  
=A= Freeman out =A=

=A= Bridge to engineering =A=
We will need everything you can give me out of the engines.  

*Engineering responds and changes the intermix ration to give the engines a little more kick.

[Solark Baklavar]

"Captain, I've found the Skytoucher sir."
