Mission 5 "The Great Blue Yonder"

[Mike Powell]

*...Mike entered the deck as the marines were scrambling to prepair for the landing. He manuavered around the busy soldeir and found his way to the good colonel...*


"Colonel, I trust we will beready for the landing ahead of time. Correct? I wonder what has gotten into Yates head. Crash landing the ship. He had better prey the DA keeps up their end of the bargan."

[Aariya Sayuri]

She frowned. "If there's anything I can do to help Captain, Admiral, please let me know. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on the crew. Surely they've already noticed that something odd is happening, and not knowing would be enough to make anyone a bit edgy, especially when there's an Admiral in our midst."

Relaxing her features now, she turned to Admiral Yates and smiled. "Speaking of which, it's lovely to finally meet you in person, Sir. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you were the one who assigned me this position, but we had yet to meet face to face. I'm only sorry it isn't under better circumstances.."

[Thomas Richards]

Tom breathed in, and then out again through his nose. "Well, Sir; I expect you already know a great deal about me already. If you want to know more, however; I almost faced a court-martial in my time at the Academy. My CO was being tried for testing an unsafe device, and I refused to testify. No action was taken against me, however, since enough of my classmates testified against him to convict him."

[HK47]

<HK saw the remaining 3 and dismounted the Puma quickly, while the soldiers were still surprised from theirs friends beheading, he went for a duck and roll while activing his arm blades, 1 sprouted from his hand arm blade while the other protuded from his elbow, he thrusted his sword threw the first heraan soldier threw the chin and the remainder of the blade sprouted from his head, HK threw the lifeless body towards his buddies as HK charged them, thrusting blade threw 1 heraan soldiers chest, he quickly dispatched the other by forcing him to kneel to the ground after slicing at the tendons and plunged his blade threw the heraan's neck and to his heart at a diagonal angle>

"Ahh I missed being covered in so much blood." HK said with delight as he walked over and took his place at the turret.

[Aariya Sayuri]

She couldn't help but show her surprise. Her eyes widened with it, and her friendly features faded. This is one thing she didn't expect, though.. as she thought about it now, it made perfect sense. A lot of things made perfect sense, in fact. She bit her lower lip slightly, before regaining her composure.

"My father was an agent? I.. I had always suspected, you understand, but no one could ever confirm it for me. It's the nature of the job, I realize.. but even so, I thank you for that."

It took her a moment longer to slip back into her comfort zone. She was hardly used to displaying her emotions so openly in front of someone such as Rajnus. Even with her background in psychology behind her, she couldn't help but feel somewhat annoyed at her lack of self control in that moment. If she had to choose one thing to hate, lack of control would certainly be it.

"Blowing your cover would end very badly for me, Director. Or Captain, I guess I should say. Those self-centered reasons alone would be more than enough to discourage me from doing so. Truly I'd have nothing to gain from it, and naturally, I don't wish to blow my own cover either. I am at your service. If there isn't anything else, Captain, I'm sure you have much to attend to and I've taken up plenty of your time.."

Her relaxed smile returned once more.

[Balkazar]

((Im going to speed things up since theirs no one except for myself who is directing the fight))

<The Heraan soldiers continued to push forward as their commander and officers started to fall dead.  Balkazar had ordered the marines to push onward slaughtering the Heraan as they went.  They were soon on the outskirts of the heraan landing zone and started to blanket the area with mortar fire.  As the night drew on, the Heraan tried to regroup but werent able too very effectively due to the constant barrage of Mortar fire on their encampment, the constant fire kept up all night with each mortar team being replaced by fresh and rested marines to take their places.  As the day came on the next morning the sun started to rise from behind the mountains that laid on the horizon.  As the light from the sun casted its gaze on the ruined encampment their was lil movement, since the Heraan were either dead or dieing on the battlefield.  The ship that the Heraan came in on was never harmed aside from the mortars that were fired at the entrance of the ship to keep the Heraan away from going for cover.  As well as small craters were everywhere.  If their was anymore movement the snipers hid nearby and would take them out>

"Well, that was interesting." Balkazar said looking down on the encampment.  "We need to take that ship but their may be Heraan inside.  We could send in the armored battle suit marines first.  But with their weapons they would probly do more harm then good." Balkazar added.

EDITED: I changed it around to where they were all just killed.

[Quinn]

Quinn let out a cough and opened his eyes. He luckily was still lying down when the ship hit the ground so he wasn't thrown around as much. He pushed a fallen panal off him and grunted loudly as he tried to get up. Looks like the Admiral did a pretty decent job of patching him up.

He heard the captain and was tempted to reply 'Alive', but instead he reached up and used his console as a support as he got to his feet.

[William Richerd]

Richerd only nodded his head and had left right as the Admiral was starting to brief the rest of the captains and above, he had already been briefed about it upon reaching Captain in Starfleet before coming back to the Marines.

He entered the mess hall, smiled and launched into a small pep talk.

"ALL hands prepare for battle stations, I have decided to hold a little drill, So, MOVE, MOVE, MOVE.... I want you to act like this is the real thing, so no falling back and clucking like a bunch of hens and chickens... and IF I find you doing that, You will be clean up the Mess Hall for a week with only a Mop and bucket."

The Marines that were under Richerd jumped and followed suite, he knew that Moore most likely would be doing the same at the other Mess hall and sleeping quarters.


((I am figuring, with the future, a mop and Bucket would be that era's version of a toothbrush.))

[Balkazar]

"Lt, Im fully aware of the articles against using pathegons, but in the field and with us marines, sometimes you have to BEND! the rules and on the rarest of circumstances BREAK! them.  Im fully aware that I could be brought before JAG for even suggesting using biological weapons, but I personally rather be sentenced to death on a penial colony then see my men cut down and not gain a single inch near that ship.  When you have seen and done as much as I have, then maybe you will begin to understand the lengths I will go to ensure my men's safety, your the Science officer, suggest something so I dont have to be forced to go to EXTREME! measures.  That ship may be our way out and off this planet!" Balkazar berrated the Lt.

"Speaking of which, you will leave what was said out of your logs.  Thats an order, and since im the only ranking officer here that isnt unconscious or out of commission you have to follow it.  Understood?" Balkazar glared at them.

"Now onto business, Give me something we can do to get that ship under our control.  That doesnt involve wasting marine life!" Balkazar said starting to really sound irritated that they havent taken the Heraan ship yet and at the same time telepathically sensing the apprehension in his marines and they waited restlessly.

[Aaron Cloud]

Cloud goes back to the medical bay, and overseas the injured.

Quietly he checks out its medical files, mumbling, "Hmmm, interesting...very interesting."

[Simon Rajnus]

((Voyager, its going to be 6 hours before we get their, so theirs plenty of free time.))

<Simon just sat their reading over reports they kept coming in on an hours basis>

[Aariya Sayuri]

She laughed. "I probably know more than you'd think, but there's always room for more knowledge and advancement. I know that not everything is quite as it seems, Captain. I know that you wouldn't be asking so many questions about my file if you were exactly what you appear to be, and you certainly wouldn't be making allegations surrounding my father's file. So, as I said: the only secrets here are the ones we tell ourselves. God knows we can't trust anyone else with them."

She blew on her cider softly before taking a sip. "Replicated. I don't care what anyone says; it isn't quite the same."

[HK47]

"Its such a pleasure I have a lasting memory on your old meatbagness.  As for Comm One, hes a outdated rust bucket." HK said emotionless.

[Voyager]

Dolan grimaced as he saw the Lothlorien plunged into the mountains and crashland hard.  He hoped anyone still on it was still alive, but right now, everyone had problems.  The Heraani were sending still more fighters to attack the marines and to finish off the wreck of the Lothlorien.  He hoped that they would be able to reach to Omega soon as numerous waves of fighters closed in on the various vehicles and marine groups.

[Aariya Sayuri]

More stating than questioning she said "Shall I sit, then" and invited herself to one of the chairs in front of his desk, hardly missing a beat. She returned his glances with a smile as she comfortably crossed her legs. "I hope you don't mind, sir.." she smirked, eyeing his reactions ever so slightly. "What can I do for you?"
