Mission 10: "Power of the Ancients"

[William Taylor]

An Ensign stood outside of the conference room. He waited for the Captain and Lt. Matthews to exit and then spoke.

"Captain, Ensign William Taylor reporting for duty. I was a last minute transfer from Avalon Station, I've been assigned as an Operations Officer."

[Dean Starwind]

OOC: Hey guys, I am supposed to be filling in as your new XO but I am not sure when and when it will be a good time to jump in. So I will start posting tomarrow as soon I get the Ok and catch up on whats going on. =P

[T'lana]

=A=Kelata to Taurik=A=

"Acknowledged Captain."

=A=Kelata Out=A=

T'lana brought the Kelata's Gravimetric Engines up to 100%, the still cloaked Vulcan Stealth Ship was at Taurik's location in 10 seconds.

T'lana beamed Taurik and his team on board and let the Heraani have it with the Kelata's Meson Canons.

Each bolt of electromagnetic-ionized Meson particles attached themselves to the surrounding area and many of the Heraani themselves, causing their bodies to be crushed on the sub-atomic level by the gravimetric flux, as the Meson packets imploded.

T'lana looked back at the bereft assault team and raised her left eyebrow.

"Am I to assume Captain, that events did not go to plan?"

T'lana looked back at the helm and programmed the shuttle to return to orbit, with the gravimetric engines still at 100%, the Kelata came to a full stop ten seconds later.

"Orders Captain?"

[Taurik]

"Very good. Keep me informed, bridge out."

[Indiana Jones]

"Of course, we don't want some of the cadets or first deep space travelers to get a weak stomache on the first go around... I would advise a split up, we work on diffrent areas and see if the work will go twice as fast. Either that, or we will learn new things about he navigation delfector that no one else would have known about before." Jones laughed at some of his engineering humor.

[Ferando ONeil]

OOC: Well they moved the ship on me without letting anyone know until I saw it today.

IC: =/\= Captain this is Lt Commander ONeil Sickbay is fully stocked and ready for any emerency that space flight can throw at us. =/\=

[Will Matthews]

Matthews smiled as the Ensign reported to the bridge. "Welcome to the Rivendell Ensign Kennedy. I am Will Matthews, chief of security on this fine vessel..".

He stopped for a moment as the Captain mentioned the Van'Gu Cluster to Jones, when the Captains orders were out, he turned his head. "We'll probably want to work with the tactical systems as well. I've not heard a briefing of our assignment in the Cluster, but if we have a one percent chance of coming up on a less than desired species or entity, I'd like to have bases covered on the targeting sensors".

[Indiana Jones]

<In Engineering>

Jones had only nodded his head to Morgan's suggestion and had gone to work, he sighed before rubbing his eyes, he had been looking at the same screen for almost an hour and all he had gotten was a two percent rise in efficincy. He had been hoping for a five percent rise.

He turned to give his report to the Chief engineer. "Sir, I have only been able to give you a two percent rise, but I will keep looking into making them better. Don't worry, when I get a job, I do not give up." He then blinked and shook his head, maybe he had been staring too long at the LCARS, but he had a job to do.

[Taurik]

"Commanders Freeman and Baphomet have requested an extended leave of absence with one another back in Federation territory. But, we do have two new crewmembers, Ensign Kennedy and Lieutenant Jones. Do not let them forget to get their physicals as soon as possible. In any case, this briefing is dismissed."

As those at the table get up to leave, Taurik stopped Lieutenant Matthews. "Mr. Matthews, could you come here for a moment?" As he stepped over, the captain began. "Lieutenant, I have been observing your performance over the past few months, and I have found it exemplary. You have been one of the most reliable officers I have on this ship, and I believe you deserve to be recognized for this. As such, I hereby raise you to the rank of full Lieutenant, with all of the rights and responsibilities therein."

[William Taylor]

Taylor approached Lt. Jones.

"I've been assigned to help you sir, where do you need me?"

[Will Matthews]

"Your suggesting that we will encounter a hostile species inside of this cluster?". An anxiety crept into Matthews as well now. He kept in mind that the assignment had not yet been stated, and he found himself hoping more that the Captain would call a briefing to clear the air.

[Indiana Jones]

Jones was sitting in on the meeting, but was waiting for a motion from the Captain to begin his debriefing, since he had been into the Van'Gu Nebula once before.

[William Taylor]

Ensign Taylor continues to sweep with the sensors.

"What is it we're looking for Lieutenant?"

[Will Matthews]

"I don't exactly know Ensign. As the briefing informed, we will know we've found it when we come upon it".

[Galen]

"I wouldn't say I want to be your companion, but I may have a few uses to you doctor, after all who do you think designed our newer ships."

Galen sits and takes a tea.  

"You know our people, all talk, no listen.  How are things here."
