Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Holographic Officer Beta]

"Channel Open"

[T'lana]

T'lana walked over to Taurik watching Chaya Sar follow Commander Freeman, fascinated by the young woman from another galaxy.

"Our guest certainly is a fascinating being, isn't she? Tell me Captain, have you sensed some form of energy emanating from her?"

[Holographic Officer Beta]

As Beta materialised on the Borg Sphere, he made sure to not make any sudden movements. He was in one of the areas of the sphere where the Borg's recharging alcoves were - quite a number of them empty - and the Borg around him were paying him no attention.

Holding his rifle pointing towards the ground, but still ready to bring to a firing position at the slightest moment, he made sure that the Borg drones surrounding him wouldn't consider him a threat. It wouldn't do to draw too much attention to himself.

He located and accessed one of the control panels nearby, attempting to locate one of the Transwarp Nodes on the Sphere. Once doing so, he began to head along the route he had picked out.

[THE BORG COLLECTIVE]

@@"THREATS ARE IRRELEVANT. YOUR SPECIES WILL BE ADAPTED TO SERVICE US. RESISTANCE IS FUTILE."@@

The Borg Cube, clearly the lead vessel activated it's cutting laser. Which began slicing through the forward part of the saucer section.

[T'lana]

T'lana got up from the console and walked with Morgan.

[Taurik]

"Greetings, Larial, I am Captain Taurik. It is good to meet you. It is evident that Mr. Freeman has considerable skill in positronics."

Taurik stood from his seat. "I'm certain I could arrange a tour of the Rivendell for you as soon as we are underway."

[Morgan Freeman]

"The jump drive has used 25% less power then a standard warp jump and structural integrity is at 99.7%.  It appears we have had a successful test Captain"  Morgan says from the engineering station.

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya was taken a back by Taurik's statement. Where was she that these beings haven't heard of the Jedi Council?

"The Jedi Council?! Well it...it consists of 12 Jedi Masters and is the ruling body for the Jedi Order. You haven't heard of them? Where am I?"

Chaya Sar was starting to feel a little afraid now.

[Taurik]

Taurik paused for a moment before blankly turning to T'lana. "I apologize, I was concentrating on our current situation. So far, we have no leads to the location of this alien territory."

Taurik thought for a few moments more. "Perhaps the examination of a Heraani database would help. Mr. Sarpedon, set a course for the Federation planetary base Red Acropolis. Engage at warp eight."

(OFF: Red Acropolis is the Federation codename for the Heraani fortress that Starfleet "liberated" in our last mission.)

[T'lana]

T'lana was surprised to see the Borg vessels go to transwarp with the Captain on board, obviously Chaya's show of force was sufficient enough to concern even the Borg.

Her next duty was clear, take command of the Rivendell and retrieve Captain Taurik by any means necessary.

"Computer, note in the ship's log, as of stardate: 60860.1, I am now in command of the Rivendell."

T'lana went and sat down in the command chair and activated the internal communications system.

=A=Ship Wide=A=

"This is Lieutenant Commander T'lana, as of now I am in command of the Rivendell. All stations report in, also report of any missing personnel."

=A=Bridge Out=A=

=A=T'lana to Morgan Freeman=A=

"Mr. Freeman, meet me in the observation room."

=A=T'lana Out=A=

T'lana stood, "Chaya Sar, Mr. Sarpedon and Mr. Beta; you too. We need to discuss ways of rescuing the Captain."

With that said, T'lana made her way into the Observation Lounge.

[T'lana]

OOC: At present, our Chief Engineer is not well. So we will simply skip ahead.
-Transwarp Node installed and functioning correctly, when mission is complete, the Transwarp Node will suddenly and mysteriously burn-out, in true Star Trek fashion.
-Mr. Beta's Holomatrix has been tested and reports came back with no apparent corruption. This will be left up to the player.
-Repairs on the USS Rivendell and Battle Group Thirteen, with Transwarp Drives being installed in the Battle Group vessels as well.
-It is up to our Captain, as to who the Heraani allies are and their identity.

T'lana turned to her Tactical Officer.

"Please take your post Mr. Beta."

=A=FLEET WIDE=A=

"Set course for Unimatrix Zero One and engage at Transwarp velocity."

=A=USS Rivendell Out=A=

"Mr. Sarpedon, at you discretion."

[Taurik]

(OFF: Please continue in Mission 13: "The Heist".)

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan was still standing at the control console adjusting the translation matrix for the best possible conversation.  He was also running a scan of the fighter that now sat in the Rivendell's shuttle bay.

[Taurik]

"How I came to possess such things is... irrelevant. Suffice it to say, I was granted quite a gift by a friend of mine."

Taurik closed his eyes, and tried to meditate, if not to think of a means of escape, then just to pass the time.

[Orpheus]

"I apologize, Miss Sar, for failing to introduce myself."

Orpheus's image appeared on a small holo-pedestal next to the lab terminal. "I am Orpheus, Federation intelligence construct for the starship Rivendell."
