Mission 8: The Battle of Avalon

[Morgan Freeman]

"Aye sir, I will be in engineering should you need me sir. "

Freeman takes the sword and leaves the bridge.  When he is in the turbolift he turns back to Taurik

"Sir, I will not be disassembling it by the way.  Just looking at its internals."

[Doctor Who]

Doctor Who, or the Doctor for short, was at the central console of his TARDIS knowing full well that he was being followed.
The TARDIS's sensors registered a Shift event and could read a Gravimetric 'ghost', but could not pin point it's location.

"Hmm interesting tactic."

The Doctor went to the otherside of the central console and examed the read outs, after a moment he decided to stay put and see what they did next.
Ready to come to their assistance if needed, but being so close to Gallifrey, he could not let the High Council pick up the other vessels presence.

[Baphomet]

OOC: Oh right, my bad http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> I'm not at the Helm, that's ensign Kassie isn't it, anyway I can do communictions if you like, seeing as most of the ships crew isn't posting anymore.

IC: "Aye Captain, there is a Gallifreyan TARDIS, 15000 meters off the Starboard that seems to be the lead, opening a secure Subspace channel..."

Baphomet had only a couple of seconds to receive an subspace signal bounce, anouncing that a two way channel was received and open.

"Channel open Captain."

OOC: I love to write, is it obvious http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Morgan Freeman]

=A= Freeman to Taurik =A=

Captain I just heard the distress call from Avalon and would like to request a meeting be held in 20 minutes

=A= Freeman out =A=

[Mark Travis]

*In Sickbay*

Travis walks into Sickbay looking around for the Doctor. He spots him in his office and walks to the door.

"Lt. Mark Travis reporting. Is their anything for me to do sir?"

[Baphomet]

"All Escape pods and Shulltes from the Essex are on board Commander."

"Welcome aboard Ensign Mayweather...By the sounds of it, these Dark PSI Warriors used the Security Protocols and Command Subroutines to make this Fractal so we will start there."

30 minutes had passed, Baphomet had gone through the entire Source Code and Subroutines of the Command and Security software, shoring them up with an altered form of V'Shar security algorithms and multi-functional backup paging files, to create a virtual barrier on top of the already existing Firewalls and Security protocols.
She also added an Intrusion Countermeasure AIBot, programmed to seak out and eliminate any and all infected sectors of the Main Computer Core.

One hour later...

"Depending on their skill, this will protect the Main Computer Core, logically we should be able to prevent a repeat of what happened to the Essex."

"Was there anything else you saw them use Ensign?"

OOC: I will let you guys decide if Ransom is alive, just bare in mind he should be aboard if he was in the Escape pods or Shuttles. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Taurik]

"No, my place is here. Lieutenant Matthews, reactivate weapons and standby."

[Taurik]

(OFF: What?)

=A= All is well. We await your return. Frontier Out. =A=

[Morgan Freeman]

"If we can track it lets take your shuttle Baphomet and see if we can't identify who boarded our ship.  
Baphomet, Matthews your with me.  Dr, you have the bridge until we return."

[Baphomet]

"Actually Commander that is quite a logical solution, and entirely within the realms of possibility, all we would have to do is administer Beintroxizine to the Station personnel, which can be done through the life support system."

Baphomet continues with a look of Vulcan concern. . .
"I appreciate you being here Commander, because we have not even tested the Shift-Drive in the Rivendell, it works in my shuttle of course, but Vulcan technology is usually ncompatible with Earth technology.
Therefore I believe a test would be prudent."

[Baphomet]

Baphomet continues...

"When the Shift Drive is activated it causes a breaf but power burst of energy, this energy consists primarily of Neutrino radiation, zero point energy and antigravitons, it is just a matter of Shifting in and then Shifting out again, before the Na'Jigat can react."

[Baphomet]

OOC: The Rivendell already has a Shift-Drive, but if you want to limit it's use, don't install the ZPE converter therefore it can only be used for short jumps.
But the benefit of having a Shift-Drive is you can explore the entire galaxy and beyond, allowing for trillions of story possibilities not limited to Warp travel which would take that many years to do so, your choice. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Taurik]

"Regrettably, only seventeen of your crew made it off the Skytoucher, including yourself. But Starbase Avalon has survived. Somehow we drove off the Heraan, though I doubt it was through gaining the upper hand. We have no idea why they halted their attack."

[Taurik]

"You may proceed, Commander. However, please warn all ships that the Shift-Drive is experimental, and that they should not use it unless absolutely necessary.
