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

[Taurik]

Just then, the Shytoucher disengages from the station, and heads full speed toward the door. Afraid of a collision, the dock operators have no choice but to open them.

"Target their engines. Helm, lay in a pursuit course."

=/\= Bridge to Shuttlebay. Commander Freeman, Lieutenant Walker, return to your posts, the Skytoucher has left dock. The runabout mission will no longer succeed. =/\=

[Mitch Walker]

OFF:  Did you want me to stay on the bridge or go with Freeman?

[Taurik]

"I believe Mr. Freeman and Mr. Walker can complete the mission. I do not want to send anyone into danger unnecessarily."

[Balkazar]

OFF**YO!!!!!!!!!!! Taurik there is no need to fire any weapons onto the ship or AT! the ship for that matter man............The sheilds are alredy down and propulsion is down as well..........SO DONT FIRE!........LOL.........Read the skytoucher boards to keep up with things lol.........Shields are down!...........Engines dont work there down!!!!!!!!!1...........You get that?........You can do your own thing now without firing onto the ship I protect! sheeeesh!!!!!!

[Ferando ONeil]

That would make a lot of sence. Not that Mr Vakin is making a lot of sence, which is something I have been watching over for the last few day Captain I think that man is liable to do anything. The crew of the shuttle will be on there own if Mr Vakin was to detect what they are doing  and the shield Modulation. And they would just be more hostages.

[Taurik]

"You are the Chief Engineer, correct? We can use your knowledge of the Skytoucher's computer systems to override Vakin's control and drop the shields. If this fails, we use the Rivendell's tactical superiority to our advantage, and take the Skytoucher by force."
*Taurik turns to Lt. Commander B'Elanna.*
"Tactical, lock phasers on the Skytoucher, just in case. Target the engines and weapons only."

[Taurik]

The Tactical console suddenly lashes out, spewing hot plasma sparks all over Lieutenant Baklavar.

"The Lieutenant needs medical attention."

Taurik rises from the command chair and replaces Solark at the Tactical console.

"Firing again."

The phaser beam misses the Skytoucher completely.

"I must admit, the nebula's gasses do not make targetting easy."

[Taurik]

"Commander B'Elanna, organize a security team to transport over as soon as we can lower the shields."

[Mitch Walker]

"Ininitalizing reintegration procedures now sir."  The vessel shakes slightly as the pieces of the Rivendell are reattached to each other.

OFF:  I would also like to apologize for not posting sooner.

[Balkazar]

OFF**Yeah Skon! that was meant for me.......Your not the special one here yet http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> hehehe http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>........Sorry Taurik I sometimes misunderstand things.....So i get into trouble alot for it http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Dont say a word skon or luke! Just dont say a word!

ON**Looks over at the taarg and ignores him*

*turns to lucas*

Luke...go down to the shuttle bay your part of the mission now...Go....

[Hermes]

OFF: Vakin is taking the ship out of dock, and setting a course at full impulse to the nearby Expansion Nebula. Rasmain established a secret communication link with Hermes, who is helping him out to figure out what the device does and how it can be operated. The problem is, once the Skytoucher enters the nebula, the nebula distortions will make all sensors practically blind, and block all subspace communications of any sort. Hermes will be disconnected from the Skytoucher and no longer be able to talk to Rasmain. The Skytoucher AND the Rivendell would be flying blind in there (remember the nebula from Star Trek II the Wrath of Khan, same kind...). The idea is that the Skytoucher reaches this nebula and manages to enter it. That way, the Rivendell will have to pursue... this could be a nice exciting story that finally includes the infamed Expansion Nebula some more for the first time. Needless to say that inside the nebula, transporting from one ship to the next will not be possible either, too much interference... Have fun http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Ferando ONeil]

Captain I am here if you think that there may be some need for counciling

[Mitch Walker]

Mitch had dismissed his idea quickly when he saw the captian enter the bridge.  But Freeman's idea would work, he could do that.  He felt a need to prove himself to his captain, the crew, and all of those people who said that he had gotten the position on the Rivendell because his father was good friends with Picard.  Walker took a deep breath and started talking.  

"Captian, Commander Freeman's idea will work.  But once you pass through their shields it will bring your shields down for about 5 seconds, which would leave you open for an attack to anyone who notices...if they can find you.  Captain, I can get you in and get you back out, baring no "complications" in less than 25 seconds."

After he had spoken he realized that he had just broken about 100 rules with both the captian and the lieutenant commander and he snapped to attention, and mentally kicked himself.

[Taurik]

=/\= Thank you, Captain. Rivendell out. =/\=

"Mr. Nofftz, round up the remaining Skytouchers crew and tell them that Chief Pelletier will accomodate your transport to the Skytoucher."
