Mission 5 "The Great Blue Yonder"

[Voyager]

The marines accompanying Dolan quickly penetrated the research complex's defenses with relative ease...as if they hadn't been check up on in years.  Surprisingly, the facility seemed abandoned.  Dolan quickly looked through the lab's logs to see if he could figure out how to get the Omega out of the facility.  He noticed that the Omega was being created to power the planet's defense systems.  Unfortunately, at this point the planet's defenses were useless as the many Heraani fighters had destroyed a majority of them.

Dolan continued to scan the logs, searching for a way to safely remove it and/or destroy it without killing everyone in the process.  With the ship out of contact, he had practically no way of knowing how to dispose of the particle.

Dolan distantly heard one of the marine officers report that Heraani ground forces were closing in, with fighters supporting them.  Dolan hoped the Heraan wouldn't want to destroy the Omega and would hold off their fire on the complex.  Another officer had a perimeter around the research complex set up, to prepare for the arrival of the Heraani forces.

[Voyager]

((OOC: Admiral, I thought I was leaving with the marines to help destroy the Omega molecules.  In fact, I believe you were the one who suggested that I go with the team instead of leading them.))

[Simon Rajnus]

<Simon was contacted by a crewmen on the bridge threw his combadge, then realized the code and gave the crewmen permission to beam him aboard and escorted to the briefing room>

[Aariya Sayuri]

"Aye, Captain. A phasor is one thing I can certainly handle." She said with a gentle smile, lingering in the briefing room for a few moments longer before following after the Captain.

She couldn't help but smirk to herself slightly. This was going to prove to be interesting, that much she was sure of. Perhaps she didn't need to be so concerned with making those contacts, after all.

She didn't bother to wait for his acknowledgement before entering the ready room. "Captain." she nodded. "You wanted to see me?"

[Raszagal]

"With all due respect, sir, I can't work with that droid anymore. For a being that's supposed to be emotionless, he goes out of his way to be insulting, and with all my old training, I still can barely resist the urge to rip him limb from limb. I can imagine some others here that feel the same."

[Balkazar]

"Good idea.  Raszagal." Balkazar said tapping his commbadge.

=^= Lt. Col.  Raszagal wants you to cause a warpcore breach, put it to remote detonate.  Once we are off this damn rock we will blow it and hopefully it will take out anything withour a 400 mile radius including the Heraan landing zone.  Balkazar out." =^=

"As for you, Mr Cloud.  I dont give a rats arse about regulations or what you can and cant do.  I dont really care.  All I care about is my wounded and YOU! had best get inside and get to work on them NOW!" Balkazar said as he marched off to oversee the marines in their tasks.

[Andrew Yates]

*...Yates turned to his surpise to see his great old friend Simon standing before him. He grinned and he gave the old captain a warm friendly embrace...*

"Simon It has been ages since we last met. I am glad to see your keeping your self busy while you await your own ship. Im sorry we have noting for you yet."

*...He turns to see Dolan still in a salute...*

"At ease, Lieutenant. Im glad to see your doing well also."

[HK47]

<Planet Side, Scouting ahead>

<Traveling ahead with Lobo and Raszagal, HK was taking active scans of the area out to atleast 400 meters>

"Ive plotted the trajectory of the Lothlorien, they should make their crash towards those mountains in the distance.  Best guess it will take atleast a day of hard marching to get to the crash site." HK said to his 2 meatbag companions.

<Then on his scanners popped up several escape pods emmiting federation signatures.  Then he looked up and saw the escape pods falling to the ground in mass numbers, looked like stars falling from the skies as the pods fell>

"I suggest we radio back and have the starfleet personel found and escorted to their ship ASAP." HK suggested.

[Voyager]

Dolan had the lower decks cleared before shutting off life support and other power systems on those decks and rerouting the power to shields.  He then had all relevant sensor data sent to helm and tactical before leaving the bridge and quickly getting ready to leave with the marines.

[Voyager]

Dolan had left the briefing room and was on the bridge for some time before the ship suddenly experienced a number of explosions while on course to the location of the Omega molecule.  Shields were rapidly depleted and the ship took some minor damage before the ship was stopped.  Dolan had damage control teams dispatched to help the nanites complete their job faster before throughly scanning the area.  Dolan saw they were in a minefield full of cloaked mines.  The Lothlorien had hit a number of them but was fortunately not seriously damaged.

=/\= Captain Rajnus, we've entered a cloaked minefield.  The ship has taken minor damage but repairs will be finished within the hour.  I suggest we have several photon torpedoes detonated ahead of the ship to clear a path once repairs are complete. =/\=

[Simon Rajnus]

=^= "Minefields, how quaint.  Alright, have tactical fire ahead.  Ill join you shortly.  Also, find out who put the minefield their and why.  Whoever it was must be protecting someone or something." =^= Simon said over his combadge.

[Raszagal]

"What happened to Starfleet?" Raszagal said, laughing. "You people used to have a sense of humor. I guess a lot changes in ninety years."

Raszagal gave herself a slight telekinetic boost to get moving across the engine chamber, and grasped the bulkhead on the other side of the room. "Yeah," she said, looking over the gravitic drive coil, "these are pretty tricky charges. We've basically got a 50/50 decision to make. Hack the computer, or defuse the bomb."

[HK47]

"Lets go, Raszagal." was all HK47 said as he sped up and quickly caught up with Nathan.  He had activated his armblades, they shot out from his elbow's and the top of his hands on both Forearms.  He was now ready for heraan blood.  His scanners picked up over 400 heraan soldiers heading towards the Lothlorien.

"Oh joy the night will be filled with the blood of Heraani life." HK said seeming actually pleased for the taste of battle.

[Voyager]

Dolan helped the engineers get other ship systems working, though translating Heraan was proving difficult.

=/\= Dolan to Colonel Balkazar =/\=

Do we have any known translations of Heraan?  Translating languages from scratch isn't exactly a specialty of mine.

=/\= Dolan out. =/\=

[Raszagal]

"Lieutenant Colonel, with all due respect to this battalion, twenty men is not enough. I've fought the Heraan in countless engagements, and if there's one thing I've learned from them, it's that you never underestimate them. They have a regiment ten dozen strong coming this way, we need every man here and we need them in prime position."

She stepped a bit closer. "Colonel, I know a fair amount of human history. Do you know of the Battle of Thermopylae? A small Greek contingent stood against the vast Persian armadas for days, thanks to their tactics and determination. This is the same situation, sir. They are attacking us. We have the Lothlorien, which, even in her current condition, still makes a worthy fortress. We need everyone, Navy and Marine, on this ship, phasers drawn."
