U.S.S. Tiberon Mission 8: "From the Ashes"

[KHa Var]

*The Vor'Cha Kahless was monitoring the Loxian's communications.  When the order to open fire was given, KHa'Var was ready.*

"Open fire on all near by Loxian ships!"

"Opening fire, several ships have been hit captain."

*The Vor'Cha Kahless fires upon 10 different Loxian ships from under the Flagship.  2 of the ships are disabled by direct hits to their warp generators.  The other ships have damage ranging from major to minor damage.*

[KHa Var]

*The Kahless receives an incoming hail from the Tiberon.*

=^= This is the Kahless, captain KHa'Var here. *Explosions are heard in the background, an officer screams a death scream.*  We do not require assistance at the moment.  *There are a few more explosions heard and  the sound of bodies hitting the deck or walls.*  This ship has seen worse and survived.  Kahless out=^=

*Then the ship bounces off another ship's shields.  Shortly after there is a large explosion, the Kahless ricocheted deeper into the safety of the enemy lines.  Marginally escaping the explosion.*

OFF: by my calculations there are about 88 fully operational Loxian vessels in total, including the 2 very large ships.  There are about 12 ships damaged (including the flagship).  22 of the ships are disabled.

[Novalien]

YES, BOSS!

*tapes command on the console*-at terrific speed-

Sir, i've put ALL power I could find into engine, without it blowing ... we are just gonna be defenceless and harmless for about 5 seconds after arriving ... You wanted speed, you have it, now

*think: so close to the speed record ... too bad*

[Tom Karelia]

"Perhaps we should take a shuttle down to help out?"

[Talen]

Lt. Commander Talen reporting in, Sir. I'm the new Cheif Tactical Officer. Your orders, Sir?

[Loxians]

*The Loxian Prime Commander stands at the bridge, looking on the viewscreen at how the battle is progressing. Ships are firing and being fired upon all around his flagship, but it is clear that the Starfleet ships are suffering most damage. They are hopelessly outnumbered. The Prime Commander turns to his second-in-command.*
"Behold this battle. This is why we, the Loxian Government, are great, and people like Starfleet or the Loxian Exiles, are weak."
*At that moment, another officer informs the Prime Commander of an incoming hail from Avalon Station, stating that they want to know why the Loxians attack them, and that they prefer to talk instead of fight. The Prime Commander laughs.*
"Weaklings, that's what they are! Trying to get away with excuses of not knowing why we are attacking them. Open a channel to Avalon Station!"
*The other officer pushes some buttons.*
"Channel open, sir."
"Avalon Station, this is the Prime Commander of the Loxian Government fleet. We did not come all the way here with our fleet, spending our energy resources to fuel our ships and feed our men, just to talk to you! You know why we are here. You have captured some of our men, and we will not accept such an insult. For this insult, you will pay and suffer dearly. There is nothing to be talked about, except perhaps about how we will utterly wipe out your entire existance in the Delta Quadrant! Prepare to be destroyed!"
*Then he cuts the transmission. At that moment, the officer points his attention to the viewscreen, displaying the appearance of the U.S.S. Skytoucher.*
"Sensor readings match perfectly, sir! It is the ship that sent us the information from our spying device."
*The Prime Commander smiles.*
"Good, very good. They will be in for a surprise, when they find out how advanced our technology really is! Do you have the access codes of the Skytoucher?"
*The officer checks his panel.*
"I have them all right here, sir. All access codes of the ship as provided by the device. We can take full control over their ship at any time."
"Good. DO IT!"
*At that moment, the Skytoucher suddenly stops firing at Loxian ships, but remains hanging in space... The crew aboard the ship discovers that they are being locked out of all computer panels, no longer able to control any system of the ship.*
"Control of the ship has been tranferred to our ship, sir."
"Good. Now transmit orders to the ship's main computer, to come about and attack their own Starfleet ships instead! And set a self-destruct countdown for 10 minutes!"
*The officer puts the commands into his computer panel.*
"Aye sir, the ship is responding!"
*The Prime Commander turns back to the viewscreen, and sees how the Skytoucher opens fire on the U.S.S. Venture and U.S.S. Rivendell. Aboard the Skytoucher, the crew is entirely obvlious of what just happened, and hear a 10 minutes countdown of the ship's self-destruct sequence...*

[Novalien]

=/\= Tom, the sheild is barely strong enough to hold back a high intensity phaser shot... But we could boost it with, if it's not needed, the emergency life support system energy, witch would make it good enough for, MAYBE, a big maximum of a direct torpeedo hit ... and we could still change the power management ... what do you think? I'll put any extra power I can get from the warpcore, too. =/\=
=/\= Novalien Out =/\=

[Loxians]

*The prime commander stood at the bridge of the flagship and looked with disgust at the viewscreen, displaying the battle. Another officer approaches him.*
"Sir, the battle is not progressing exactly as planned. Half our fleet is disabled or destroyed, and this ship had suffered some damage too. Starfleet has apparently received some reinforcements of other ships."
Prime Commander: "Then repair the damage to our ship! Those ships that were destroyed, suffered this fate because they were obviously too weak! It is only what they deserved! We still have 88 operational ships, which is far more then what Starfleet has come up with."
"But prime commander, their ships are..."
Prime Commander: "I don't want to hear it! Activate the ship's engines, we're pushing through the lines to attack Avalon Station itself! Prepare teams to board the station. If we can criple their station, where their attacks are apparently being coordinated from, then they will be in chaos."
"But sir..."
Prime Commander: "DO IT!"
"Yes sir..."
*The large flagship begins moving closer to Avalon Station.*

[Tom Karelia]

"That's a possibility."

The message from the Kahless comes through. Karelia taps his badge.

=/\= Engineering! We need more speed! =/\=

[Malcolm]

*With the battle displayed on the Ares view screen commander malcolm notices the main ship heading towards avalon*

=^=This is Commander Malcolm of the Ares, The main Loxian ship is trying to make a direct assault on Avalon...=^=

*thinking quickley the commander orders an increase in speed,trying to beat the ship to the station, it focuses all of its firepower on it*

[William Wallace]

OOC: Oppps these things happen sometimes.  Changed it here though.

[Chris White]

Looks out the window of the mess hall after the Tiberon drops out of warp around Dantro and see's a fighter blow up after being chased by a runabout which was heading back to one of the 4 other ships in orbit.

I tap my commbadge.

=/-\= White to Colonel Deveraux. Did you just see a fighter be tailed by a rubaout and an escort fighter element get blow up and heading back to there ship? =/-\=
