U.S.S. Evolution Mission 5 : the battle of Deep Space 12

[Dalon]

*console chirps*

Sir, I have detected a most curious signal. It's not being transmitted through any regular communications channel. instead, it originates from the station's navigational beacon.

This beacon usualy sends a transponder signal so that ships whose navigational sensors cannot detect the station's gravity well can avoid hitting the station while in warp.

The signal I have found is attached to the end of the transponder sequence and is very subtle. It is composed of seemingly random extra bits of information after the signal that could be dismissed as a faulty transmitter.

Those bits, however, have ben identified by the computer and match starfleet's newest encription rules.

*computer beeps*

Sir, the computer has just finished decoding it. It says: "Mission successful. Proceed as planned."

I believe this gives us permission to strike, sir.

[Vurak Spock]

Engaging Phaser and locking on to target. Lt. Dalon.
Firing. Target. Engaged!

(two phaser shots are fired from the Evolution to take down three scorpions. One was a direct hit and the second one was hit, but only moderately damaged until that ship accidently struck the ship next to it to destroy his campanion.

Off: eek http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

The Photon Torpedo was shot out only to miss its intended target.

Three of the ships then swerve 90 degrees to the left and the other three swerve to the right at the same velocity. The two in front swerve downwards.

The two swerving downward is positions itself to fire their weapons at us as beam was shot from our ship out to destroy another scorpion that came right into range of the beam. (The one from the left.)

Commander Brooks, Lateral sensors pick up impulse fluctuations coming  from behind the ship that is not of our own. I am detecting no presence of any the moment of those ships. Cloaked ships is a strong possibility. Readying Photon Torpedos. Aim FIre!..........................................

[Nick Brooks]

OFF: Im sorry about Blakes lack of posting. Im afraid I will have to terminate his character. The busy summer season has started and I have little time to post with all of my characters. Thats the same for all my characters im afraid, but I will still be here to post as regularly as possible.

[Vorak]

OFF: there appears to be a software problem that occurs when you want to register a new username. Until I can fix that, I will post with Vorak on this (the name should be Ardwyad).

Then the new, unknown ship hails the USS Evolution...

[keilah]

OFF: Ofcourse, I am always around...:P

--------------------------

Keilah had been listening to the speech from Captain Sanchez and was astonished, how the captain could act so brave and not showing a sign of any stress in his words nor in his posture. Keilah stepped forward and stares right in Sanchez's eyes.

"Captain, Sickbay and it's personel will be ready to receive wounded and will look after them and ofcourse cure them, no officer may die on my watch!"

With those words keilah stepped back and heads for the turbolift, but before he steps inside he turns around.

"Before I leave captain, I have a small favour to ask. Could you send someone from Engineering to Sickbay, we are put in a difficult situation with no power and only emergency lights on. Ofcourse our services are still garanteed but we will work more efficiently when the repairs are done http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>"

Keilah turns around, as the turbolift had just arrived to take him to Sickbay

[Nick Brooks]

*Nick smiles, stands up and moves over to Dalon*

Mr Dalon, Engage!

OFF: Thanks! :biggrin:

[keilah]

At that moment in sickbay, more casualties came in. Dr Hannah and Keilah were working as fast as they could.
Keilah was standing next to one of the nurses that was examining an engineering officer

"Nurse, give this man 25cc of Melorazine and make him ready for surgery"

At that moment, one of the main-consoles in sickbay blew. Several officers, including medical personel, were wounded and showed massive burns. The fire that started, extended and had to be contained before it could destroy sickbay. Keilah was trapped between the fire and other consoles, so he was hoping for a miracle. It seemed that the automatic fire-extinguishing system didn't work....

"It's getting hot in here!....Dr Hannah...were are you! DR!"

Keilah couldn't see a glimp of his companion, but was hoping that he was still alive. Maybe he could reach for that console and activate the emergency system...or maybe the bridgecrew notices it, though many sensors were damaged due to the attacks earlier that day.

"Help! Can someone hear me!"

[Randall Sanchez]

*Smiles.*
"Your logic puts me in a difficult position, Mr. Dalon. I'm not sure where I need you the most. Here, or at the negotiations table. But you know what? We all delivered quite a battle, and we all deserve to sit down and have a drink! And if it is to be with some unknown aliens, so be it! The repair crews can handle the repairs. Mr. Dalon, follow me to the station please."

=^= Sanchez to away team =^=
Please meet me and Mr. Dalon at the station's embassy. I'm sure there we can find a suitable place to meet our new friends.
=^= Sanchez out =^=

*Sanchez and Dalon walk into the turbolift, and shortly later arrive at the docking hatch where they step onto the station. The station is yet in a mess, and people are performing repairs everywhere, but it wasn't as bad as Sanchez had feared, and he was glad that the damage had been limited over here.*
"Computer, locate the main staff of the station."
Computer: "The senior officers are currently in the Bar & Grill facility of Deep Space 12."
"Thank you. Come, Dalon, let's go there and ask their permission to use the embassy facilities."

OFF: please go to the Omega division board ( http://www.expansionfleet.net/cgi-bin/omega/ikonboard.cgi" target="_blank">http://www.expansionfleet.net/cgi-bin/omega/ikonboard.cgi ) and create your character there. You'll find an Embassy forum, where I will create a topic you can reply to. Please post there until we get back to the ship. Thanks http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Ardwyad]

>-< ASC Revox to U.S.S. Skytoucher >-<
This is Chief of Command Ardwyad. It seems that the battle is fought and over, and that victory is on your side. I hope you would not think us rude or intrusive, if I request audience with you and your people. We would like to get to know you better, as the species who we just helped win a battle. My doctor is eager to meet you and your servants, and so am I.

[Randall Sanchez]

"Thank you, Ms. Connor. Make sure the ship keeps up with the rest of the fleet. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
As for the away team, I have been informed that before we arrive, one of the other ships will drop off some infiltrating officers. I believe that even admiral Vorak is one of them. Their appearances are altered to look Romulan, so they wouldn't be noticed too quickly. When they area ready to create chaos on behalf of the Romulans, we will be called to attack their ships."

[Nick Brooks]

Id be happy to take my old post for this battle. If this is ok? http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Arwen Connor]

*smirks*

"Aye aye, sir."

*Takes the navagation station*

[Dalon]

Aye sir. Setting navigational sensors to maximum sensitivity in passive mode. *computer chirps*

I'm not detecting the fleet's ships on passive mode, sir. This means that neither can the Romulans, unless they start an active scan, but that would be illogical, since they would have given away their position by doing so.

OFF: Do we have a scientific officer? I used to have access to the science sensor array while we had none...

[Jeff Keach]

*just then a communication signal was recieved*

=^= Fleet Captain Keach to DS12 convoy group =^=

I believe all ships are in position, so keep a look out for the Romulan Coalition's ships. We are recieving technical data from the infiltration team and it shows that we are almost ready for the ships to enter within weapons range. Although I hope  we never have to fire upon the station, I remind you that you only shoot when fired on. Good luck to us all and see you on the other side

=^= Keach out =^=

[Vurak Spock]

Reporting that the shields are showing to be fluctuating greatly for which is making it more possible to penetrate the DS12 station. Very sporadic communication not of our own, but from the looks of it. Romulan frequencies. Many commands being barked out from the loudness of their voices. Much commotion is going on at this moment for I cannot decipher the frequency very well.  Weapons are ready to set to target. Ready to act, Captain. I am picking up very unusual energy reading not of our own..........................
