USS Skytoucher Mission 5: the Dark Passage Treaty

[Jonathan Mason]

Captain, helm is ready and standing by.

[Thomas Jackson]

A message comes in from the Evolution.

=A= Evolution to Skytoucher =A=

Can you read us? Please respond.

=A= Evolution out =A=

[Skon]

Good idea, Lt.

Contact the Skytoucher and ask them to send shuttlecraft for those of us who aren't injured. That way, our transporter crews can concentrate on the seriously wounded.

[Zayan]

*At that moment, Zayan moves toward him to hit him once again, and she looks him in the eyes.*
"Remember me? You were able to fool me for a very long time, Vakin, but no more! I know now you're the spy, you're the one that cost us many losses and lives! Now, you will pay for it!"
*And she hits him on the head again.*

OFF: this is all taking place in the shuttlebay, which is sealed off and the transporters are down. So nobody but Vakin and Zayan know what is really going on here now.

[Skon]

Skon raises an eyebrow as he sees all of the living members of the Skytoucher crew materialize on the bridge.

Fascinating.

My future wife, Q? I highly doubt that is possible. The Vulcan female who I was pledged to at an early age was killed during the encounter with the Borg at Wolf359. I doubt I shall be bonded again. As for my falling in love, I would find that proposition highly doubtfull. We Vulcans have learned how to deal with Pon Far, despite the circumstances.

Regardless, you have no right to interfere with this ship or this crew. I demand that you return us to our natural state at once.

"The torpedo is ready commander"
*Hits shipwide comm*
"Now hear this, the funeral ceremony for the late Captain Burma will now take place"
  "Put it on the viewscreen Mr. Cano"
*Stands*

[Skon]

Skon leaves the shuttlebay and heads to the bridge.

Skon reporting, sir. We have evacuated all of the Loxians from their colony. The crew is preparing accomodations for the refuges. It will be a tight fit, but I think we will be able to make everyone comfortable for the journey. Meanwhile, the asteroid is dangerously unstable, and could explode at any time.

Also, I would like to commend the actions of the away-team members. Thanks to Mr. Robinson's quick thinking, we were able to evacuate the asteroid before it became too unstable. And thanks to the Doctor's work, many Loxian lives have been saved. They are both excellent officers.

OFF: Is Rugal really still on the Hideki Mora? If so, we should either beam him off or tow the ship before we leave. Otherwise, he's going to blow up with the asteroid...

[Loxians]

*Meanwhile, on the Loxian flagship...*
"Sir, our ships have regrouped! We're ready on your command, to make the final assault!"
"Good, good. Now shall be the time where we utterly destroy both those Starfleet ships! Close in to them, target weapons, and fire on my command!"
*The Loxian fleet closes in to both Starfleet vessels, their weapon systems running hot, and preparing to fire any moment...*

[Doctor]

"Very well, let me treat you in the Sickbay forum."

[Loxians]

*The Skytoucher waits for a reply to their hail, but the answer is silence... and no response comes in.*

=^= Loxian flagship to Qrell =^=
This is the official Loxian Government. You have entered a dispute between our government and Starfleet. I suppose that Starfleet has NOT told you that they are covering criminal and barbarian Loxians aboard their ship! We do not wish to enter any hostilities with the Romulans, and perhaps someday we could discuss an alliance proposal you will find most interesting. Together we stand stronger in the depths of space here. What say you?
=^= Loxian flagship out =^=

OFF: hah now i'm sure this can make things interesting http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Skon]

Good idea Mr. Nofftz, but we do not have enough power to launch a probe.

OFF: Loxians? They left a long time ago lol. Regardless, welcome back. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Randall Sanchez]

OFF: so when can I get back to my own ship? lol

[Rasmain]

"I am sorry Commander, but that is not possible. I need you here on the bridge, all hands are needed here! Could you please take the engineering station and make sure that every critical system has been secured, we may have to go into battle."

Rasmain turned to Vakin, who was standing behind the Security console

"Mr Vakin, how is that report coming. We don't have all day http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>"

[Skon]

Mr. Bagget, try to maneuver us around the Evolution. Keep as much of the Evolution between us and the Loxians as you can.

OFF: Mr. Russo, keep your eye on the "Engineering" forum...

[Skon]

Skon sorts through the communications that have reached the bridge, and responds.

=A= Skytoucher to Vontak Nor =A=

General Zentox, it is good to hear from you. Our engineering crews are working on restoring partial impulse power. We should be able to dock soon.

=A= Skytoucher out. =A=

=A= Bridge to Engineering =A=

Mr. Black, What is the status of your repairs?

=A= Bridge out. =A=
