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

[Balkazar]

*coughs*

Capt....While i was over on the skytoucher before i was ordered off one of the engineers alredy had disabled the engines.......Hes not going anywhere unless he can fix them himself......

*turns to solark*

Im fine right mr solark.....If tauirk wishes me somewhere else he will tell me no offense to you intended......But fo right now Taurik is my supior while im on the ship.....

*turns to Taurik*

Capt......

[Taurik]

(OFF: Well, I meant set the course, but don't engage until they try to leave.)

[Taurik]

"I suppose that would be prudent, Commander."

[Rasmain]

*At that moment, the Skytoucher goes full thrusters in reverse, away from the three Rivendell parts... and on the viewscreen, the only indication of the ship they have, nebula gas fills the empty area between the Rivendell and the Skytoucher, fading the captured ship from view. Soon, the ship is no longer visible...*

OFF: Vakin's not retreating, but working on a spectacular maneuvre, so just act confused until he appears again :P

[Taurik]

Cpt. Taurik: "Open fire."

Lt. Baklavar: "Firing!"

A phaser beam fires from the port ventral phaser array, and rakes the Skytoucher along the top of the tactical hull (the triangular dish on the top of a Nebula class).

Lt. Baklavar: "Direct hit, Captain!"

Cpt. Taurik: "Try to restrain weapons fire to engines and weapons systems."

[Morgan Freeman]

**In Shuttlebay 2**
"Lt. Walker up here"  Morgan calls from the second floor control station  as he walks to the ladder and climbs down.  

"Ok I just finished testing the shield frequency scanner that I installed into the sensors..   Even if they manage to change the shield frequency we can scan it so that we don't end up bouncing off the shields. "

"I think we can go through the shields and beam out Miss love before he can hurt her and get out with our butts in tact. How about you fly us in and I will handle getting us through the shields and out again."

Morgan walks over to an open panel on the starboard side of the runabout walking with Lt Walker.  In between talking to the Lt he yells a few orders the the engineering crew working on the runabout.  

"Lt, we also managed to get an extra 15% shield effenciey  and a 5% manuvarablity increase.  She sould get us there and back again.

Off:  I have no objection to calling the runabout arwen, dumb question though, remind me who arwen is.

[Jesse Nofftz]

OFF:Could someone fill me in. I had to got o a funeral.

[Taurik]

"I agree. Each ship is faster on its own. Commander Travis, you will command the upper stardrive section, and Commander Freeman, you will take the lower. Mr Nofftz, go with Commander Travis, and Mr. Balkazar with Commander Freeman."

Once everyone had left the bridge, Taurik sat in his chair with Mr. Baklavar at tactical.

"Computer, initiate Multi-Vector Assault Mode."

Computer: "Acknowledged. Separation in ten seconds."

-a moment passes-

Computer: "Separation complete."

=/\= All hands, this is Captain Taurik. Lay in a course for the Expansion Nebula at maximum warp. =/\=

[Ferando ONeil]

Getting up I wander off the ship hoping to catch the Captainat the pub.

[Morgan Freeman]

Off:  Balkazar, yes each section has at least 2 torpedo tubes and one Quantum torpedo tube.  Its a pretty buff ship.    

On: Prepare to enter the nebula.   Mr. Balkazar  lets emit a radion pulse see what bounces off and back at us.  (Similar to good old fasion radar.)

=A= Freeman to Tuarik =A=
We are ready to enter the nebula, standing by to run a radion scan to find the skytoucher.   Reccommend all three sections do this is sync to cover more ground.

*The third section of the Rivendell enters the nebula chasing after the ion trail of the Skytoucher.

[Morgan Freeman]

*Commander Freeman arrives on the bridge*

"Captain, we can still use the runabout to rescue Miss Love.     Lt. Walker and I  and a few crewmen can take section 3 of the Rivendell and arrive at the Nebula First.  When the Skytoucher arrives we can get her out of there."

[belanna]

aye sir *taps combadge* =/\=security team alfa and gamma report to the transporter room equiped whit weapons torres out =/\= sir if you'll exuse me i'll be going to the transporter room *leaves for the transporter room*

[Taurik]

More messages from the Skytoucher crew hiding belowdecks come to the bridge.

=/\= Nofftz to Taurik. Sir, I am Lt. Commander Nofftz. I am Cheif Operations/Second officer. I was in command of the Skytoucher when Vakin started this incedient. I may not specialize in security but I know quite a bit about Strategic Operations.   I would like your permission to try to retake the bridge. =/\=

=/\= Taurik to Nofftz. I would not suggest it. Most of the Skytoucher's crew is off the ship, and Mr. Vakin has control of most of the primary systems. We are working on getting the prefix codes to lower the shields, please stand by and await further instructions. =/\=

[Mitch Walker]

**IN SHUTTLEBAY 2**
Mitch enters Shuttlebay 2 as he looks around for Commander Freeman, he sees shuttle techs and engineering crewmen running around a runabout called Arwen.  

OFF:  I figured we could stick with the LOTR theme in naming the runabout, objections, let me know and I'll change it.    

[Solark Baklavar]

(He monitors the situation on his station. He acknowledges with a curt salute to what Mr. walker replied and returns to his station. He readies the photon banks for firing on the engine as he was told. He then turns around and declares.)

Well. Do you wish me to continue phaser's locked on the engines. I am sure that would still be a good move in case they try to attempt an escape. It would be just much easier should the shield's go down. I will only damage enough to keep them from leaving. Your call. Captain.

(As he awaits his orders and readies himself to fire on command. He sits and listens for his command.)

Off: Be back in four days. If you want him to fire. Go right ahead. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. Other than that, Be well everyone.)
