Mission 8: The Battle of Avalon

[Taurik]

"Although it would be a very prudent contingency plan in case of power failure, I'm afraid such a use would be taboo in Gallifreyan culture. While effective in combat, this weapon is primarily ceremonial in nature."

[Ferando ONeil]

Commander All of the seventeen that made it off the Skytoucher sir Are recovering remarkable well Considering the condition of the ship sir.

Captain Taurik I would like to assist in the retrival team. I could get the medical examination stared sir.

[Morgan Freeman]

"The station and the section of the Rivendell that fires the blast would be defesless to conventional weapons yes.

Lt Contact Avalon station and ask them for approval to carry out our plan.  
kassie, work with our new cadet to prepare the buzzard Collectors for emission.  I also need instructions that we can send to the rest of the fleet."

[Morgan Freeman]

Off: Captain Taurik I hope you are well sir.  
For now Captain Taurik is in a trance on the bridge doing his defense thing.  Commander Travis is in sickbay unconsious.

On: "Commander Baphomet, I assume command for the moment.  Please note it in the ships log.  

Any word from Avalon?"

[Baphomet]

Baphomet hesitated for a moment, looked at Morgan and then walked over to the Shuttle bay maintenance areas industrial replicator, she then tapped her Comlink.(I don't like the name combadge http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>  )

=A=Baphomet to Shuttle Kelata=A=
"Computer, transmit technical and molecular data to this Replicator, Authorization Baphomet, Lt. Commander, voice idententification, confirm."

Shuttle Kelata Computer: "Confirmed, Transmitting ZPE Converter and Shift-Drive Molecular and Technical data to Replication Initialisation Processor.
Complete."

Baphomet adding the Fighters dimesions to the Size to Energy output algorithms into the datastream and then activated the Replicator.

On the Molecular Cohesion Platform, two devices slowly came into being.
One was cylindrical with a transparent partition in between to Metallic looking outer casings, it looked not unlike a more futuristic version of a 20th century fuse from earth.
The other being the Shift-Drive and a smaller version of the one currently attached to the Antimatter/Matter reactor of the Rivendell.
Appearing to all the world like a Tetrahedron.

Once the Replication process was complete, Baphomet then deleted the data from the Main Computer.

She then motioned to Commander Freeman to lend a hand.

[Morgan Freeman]

Seeing the almost puzzled look on Baphomet's face Morgan couldn't help but chuckle just a little bit.

"Baphomet, will you join me in your shuttle we are going back to Frontier under cloak and we will help the station how we can.

Mr Matthews, you are in command of the Rivendell until we get back.  Do not let anything happen to the ship.  Keep an eye on Frontier, if we need you to we will have to send you in to disable the weapons systems on the station.    Go to yellow alert until further notice.  Understood?"

[Baphomet]

=A=Baphomet to Cmdr. Freeman=A=

"Sir, I hope that you have made the specified modifications to the Navigational Deflector Array"
"Prepare for Shift Drive activation"

=A=Baphomet out=A=

"Captain, powering up the Shift Drive and monitoring for any fluctuations"

The Rivendell shuddered slightly as Subspace itself was realined around the vessel, a low harmonic was audible on every deck.

"Shift-Drive at stand by Captain, might I sugest a slight jump to test the Shift-Drive Sir."

OOC: HHeellpp http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Morgan Freeman]

"Baphomet open a channel to the Essex."

=A= U.S.S RIVENDELL U.S.S. ESSEX =A=
This is Commander Morgan Freeman of the Rivendell calling the Essex.  Do you require assistance?

[Will Matthews]

"Docking complete sir. Are we to remain on board?"

[Baphomet]

Baphomet sent the Subspace message to Frontier, that the Kidnapped Admirals were not present at said co-ordinates.

"Sensor readings show no sign of a vessel or ion trail, perhaps we should Shift back to the Rivendell and report our findings."

OOC: Who stole the Admirals anyway, do we have conflicting storylines here.
Didn't Frontier station tell us about missing Admirals?

[Taurik]

Taurik paced carefully about the bridge, contemplating his place in this upcoming battle. He was a starship captain, and his presense on the bridge was important. On the other hand, he was a Sentinel, and his assistance against the Na'jigat would be invaluable.

"Captain," Commander Baphomet said suddenly. "They are arriving. I am detecting immense psionic readings."

"On screen," Taurik said. The space on the screen looked calm for a moment, but gained a slight violet tint as the Na'jigat clusters moved into the area.

Out of nowhere, a small, golden vessel flies out of warp and right through the Na'jigat, and stops.

"Captain," Baphomet said without delay. "I'm reading the vessel's composition as unknown. We've never seen them before."

As if in answer to her statement, more vessels of varying class began to arrive in the same manner. One at first, then more. Tens made way to hundreds.

"They are powering weapons," the science officer stated calmly.

Taurik stared at the screen in subtle surprise, and addressed the fleet. "Captain Taurik to the fleet," he said, pausing before continuing.

"Battlestations."

[Will Matthews]

Matthews remained at his station as things moved in a slow motion. He knew that there was a need for scientists, and shuffled around the bridge untill the odd uniformed Lieutenant entered. "...Sir? Do they need more security officers on the station? I have watched the bridge while the commanders have thier calls to the station"

[Baphomet]

"Aye Commander."

Baphomet initiated the launching sequence, the Fighter then moved out of the Shuttle Bay via the maneuvering thrusters. When the fighter was clear of the Rivendell, Baphomet switched the Scorpion over to the impulse drive.
"Computer, set Hexadecimal vector co-ordinates: 46 72 6F 6E 74 69 65 72. spatial location Frontier Station."

Baphomet, then ativated the Shift-Drive...

She thought she heard Morgan take a sharp breath through his teeth, as forward space blurred and Frontier station snapped into focus.

Computer: Shift jump complete.

[Baphomet]

=A=Baphomet to Morgan=A=

"Commander could you come to the bridge, we have an anomalous reading here."

[Ferando ONeil]

Why thank you commander.
