USS Skytoucher Mission 5: the Dark Passage Treaty

[Zayan]

"I have been in sickbay all the time, recovering, while the ship was engaged in battle with those Loxians out there.  When I woke up, I saw Vakin hanging around in places where he didn't belong, and after he left, I went to check what he did. I found out that he was sending transmissions to the Loxian flagship. Knowing that his task was done, he would expect them to rescue him from the Skytoucher, but knowing how the Loxian Government works, they couldn't care less for their own people, and they wouldn't bother to get him out of here. So the only obvious place for him to go, would be the shuttlebay to make his own escape. So I was ahead of him and awaited him here already."

OFF: now would be a good time for Rasmain, who's the only Skytoucher officer of Sanchez/Keilah/Rasmain, to recognise Zayan and confirm that it's true.

[Jonathan Mason]

Captain, I can plot a course through it.

Couldn't we use the deflector array to plow through the field?

[Omak]

AYE AYE Captain:

 "Running a Full Sensor Sweep"

[Randall Sanchez]

"Very well. Commander Skon, it was an honour to fight side by side with the Skytoucher at last. The Skytoucher and Evolution make a good team, I'd say, we should do this more often."
*Sanchez smiles, and then makes sure that Brooks and Lauren stand at his side.*
"Energize."
*Sanchez, Brooks and Lauren dematerialize.*

OFF: and therefore post on the Evolution forum again lol

[Sirius Black]

"Hmm, sounds strange to me. If they decide t ocome back we would stand much chance. I can work from here to keep things as they are but improving them if about useless. Communications at best in a day or two. Any idea on deaths? I lost about 5 men in engineering. 5 out of 9."

[Roland Burma]

=A= Understood Lieutenant =A=

"Shuttle Bay prepare all shuttles for evacuation of the Loxians"

Lower shields for the shuttles.

[Omak]

Aye Aye Sir

[Skon]

Good work, Mr. Nofftz and Mr. Lupin. Right now, we need to restore as much of the ship's power as we can.

Mr. Nofftz, assign personnel to crucial repair stations. Perhaps Mr. Black could use some help in Engineering, where, I assume, he has returned.

=A= Skytoucher to Evolution =A=

It is indeed improbable that we have survived thus far. We are attempting as many emergency repairs as we can.

As for Captain Burma, he left the ship shortly before the battle began. He took a shuttle to scout some strange readings on our sensors...and he was able to warn us of the approach of the Loxian fleet. If it hadn't been for him, we may not have survived. We do not know what has happened to his shuttle...

=A= Skytoucher Out =A=

[Dunatis Cano]

Stuck down on the fifth level due to fallen debris from the explosion that hit the sixth level.

"Can anyone hear me. I am stuck on the fifth level. I just got my communicator back up and running. So could someone come and help me out of this room."

OFF: Not to sure of where on the fifth level due to having to running from falling debris.

[Doctor]

*The Doctor and his staff have been busy receiving wounded in the temporarily converted main holodeck.  Please beam your wounded up from where you are- unless you are in a  transporter shielded area.*

[Randall Sanchez]

"Keep going then, doctor, Mr. Rasmain! We're very close to the shuttlebay now!"
*As they turn around the corner, they see the large doors of the shuttlebay. In the distance they can see Vakin, but he's too far away to get a good aim with their phasers. As Vakin turns around and notices them run toward the shuttlebay, he runs toward a nearby control panel and begins to touch some buttons. Instantly, the doors start to close.*
"Hurry! He's trying to lock us out!"
*Sanchez runs as fast as he can, but sees the door nearly closed before him. He pulls his phaser and fires inside, but misses Vakin just with a fraction. But before he can slip through the door, it's already closed before them.*
"Darn! He's too fast! We have to get these doors open!"
*Sanchez turns to a nearby wall panel and tries to insert some command codes. But it gives a denying tone, not accepting any input at all due to the severe damage.*
"We're too late. There's no way to get these shuttlebay doors open, they're not like turbolift doors that you can force open, after all. They are hermetically sealed. By the time we got these open, Vakin's long gone!"

OFF: we can try to open them, but the idea is that we won't get them open soon.

[Skon]

=A= Skon to Skytoucher =A=

Ambassador Zentox has sensed a danger in the area. It doesn't appear to be related to the station, but rather, something from "out there." I would suggest that you increase your scans for approaching objects or ships...

=A= Skon out. =A=

[Skon]

Commander Lauren, we did not have much time to analyze the Loxians' weapons. They ambushed us very quickly. But perhaps General Zayan knows something about the type of damage they do.

[Montrell]

OFF: I don't want to spoil the party but could you make an end. This mission needs to be closed http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> for you will have a new mission in the near future. Feel free to make a good ending but please, don't add new things to the story http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Tim Russo]

"Aye, Aye, Captain,  I am doing very well, it'll take more of a shock than that to put me out of commision.  The Science station will be inoperable for a while til I am able to repair it again.  As ordered I will report to engineering to assist in repairs."

I turn briskly towards the turbolift and accompany Mr. Lupin to engineering.
