U.S.S. Skytoucher Mission 6: Getaway!

[Skon]

OFF: See my post in "Mission Planning." I'll try to keep up with the story, but I don't know if I'll be posting for the next few days. Love, I'll try to catch up with you on Avalon. Not trying to "forsake" anyone. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Vorak]

OFF: Some events are taking place first before we can get to the next stage of the story. In preparation, I will close this topic and create a new mission topic. Please check the new topic.

[Balkazar]

OFF**I didnt read the part where you entered the nebula.....I apologize for my lack of reading skills http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Taurik]

(OFF: Remember: The Rivendell, being a Prometheus class ship, can separate into 3 self-sufficient vessels. So for now it's not just "the Rivendell", since there are, in a way, three Rivendells.)

[Jesse Nofftz]

<Nofftz to Balkazar>

The Captain has been taken hostage. Do not enter the bridge. That is an order.

<Nofftz Out>

<Nofftz to Taurik>

Captain Skon has been taken hostage. I am in command of the vessel. An engineer is working on droping the sheilds. Should be done in a minute. I have ordered know one to enter the bridge. I can't order your men but I urge you to stay off the bridge. Conatct me when the sheilds are dropped.

<Nofftz Out>

[Balkazar]

*Balkazar was working at tactical to make sure that an hi jacking like this doesnt occure again and make some minor security imp. and to get a routine for security officers to follow in case of boarding in case it happens and to get a routine of drills ready*

*he sees the vulcan appear on the bridge*

Tpol.....Welcome to the skytoucher........You wouldnt know anything about repairs would you ?

*Balkazar to engineering*

I need you to send someone up here to the bridge Tactical is going somewhat Fritzoid on me.......*a zaps shocks Balkazar.......Giving him a type 1 burn*

Well....Err.....I think i should get that looked at later *smiles at the vulcan and goes back to work*

*Balkazar to sickbay*

Need you to send a medic up here I burnt myself and i aint leaving

*few minutes later a medic arrives and takes care of the burn and exits to go on his rounds*

Well....Lets try not having that happen http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> shall we http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Balkazar]

OFF**Im posting 2x a day now instead of 50 http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.........So time to catch up UGH! http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

ON**

*receives the communications from skon and sends another to skon*

Capt.......good to hear your still alive sir.....im aboard and slightly in charge.......The battle is going less then expected but i believe with a few more shots we should be inside the shield.....Once its down Follow us in and transport over.........Balkazar out*

*The skytoucher heads down into the blackness.....The 2 runabouts try and keep on the skytouchers tail as much as possible and is lost in the blackness......Soon they find there way out and starts to try and find the skytoucher and 1/3 of the Rivendell........*few minutes pass when they see  out the window a flash of light and thinks to themselves that must be it and heads towards where the flash of light came from........Upon getting closer Balkazar and the security forces witness the skytoucher firing on one of the rivendells..........

The 2 runabouts get closer to the skytoucher and fires a phaser to weaken the ships shield completely and byepasses the skytouchers shield to the point that the 2 runabouts flies clean threw..........The runabout that Balkazar is on Docks with the skytoucher..........

*Balkazar to skon*

Transport over now..........

[Skon]

OFF: Hmm...Me neither. I tried a post to indicate that communications are difficult in the nebula...but I guess that didn't work...Thought we might have some drama...but apparently, I'm now safely aboard the Skytoucher. Guess I'd better put on my super-suit and act like I can save the day all by myself. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

ON: *Skon emerges...unexpectedly...from his shuttle. He is inside the Skytoucher's primary shuttle bay.*

Fascinating, I had no idea I was aboard the ship.

Mr. Balkazar, establish communications with Commander Rasmain immediately. I need to know our situation before I decide what to do. And tell your men to stand down and await further orders.

[Hermes]

"I am an artificial intelligence and fully integrated computer system. Yes, I am definitely sure. The three people currently on board the Skytoucher are Paris Love, a Loxian named Vakin, and commander Rasmain. Oh dear, it would appear that it looks like the ship has been captured by non-Starfleet personnel, Mr. Rasmain."

(Edited by Hermes at 11:57 pm on Sep. 25, 2004)

[Skon]

OFF: Just a thought, but before you guys storm the bridge, you might want to do something crazy like try to wake Rasmain up and let him know what's going on. He is, after all, the First Officer...

[Hermes]

"At current speed, 12 minutes and 36 seconds. While my communication link is still active, I will ask captain Skon for advice about the activation code of the device."

OFF: Let's make it exciting. Allow the ship to actually reach and enter the nebula. Hermes will disconnect from the ship, and the EMH program itself will take over the hologram again. We haven't had much storylines about the infamed nebula itself yet, so this is a perfect opportunity. As for the activation code of the device... Vakin indeed does not know about the device, because it was Varnek who had placed it, while being in the sickbay himself (when the Loxian exiles were transported from their destroyed asteroid base in the previous mission). So, now would be a convenient time for Skon to run into Varnek (after Hermes informs Skon about the needed activation code) who could end up helping him out with the activation code (in return that he can behold the Burma again). So Skon may want to check the Ops forum on Avalon Station (Starfleet HQ) board. Meanwhile, Vakin should keep the ship heading for the nebula. Remember, Vakin, that this nebula is your ultimate way to escape. In there, it's very difficult to find you, and the nebula is so vast that even an entire fleet couldn't surround it without leaving gaps open. You could depart from the vast, large nebula anywhere and nobody ever knows where you went off to - that is your escape plan all along.

[Balkazar]

*sees Nofftz walk in*

Yes sir......*motions for a couple of security leaders to get there squads ready and orders them to move into position near the bridge doors but dont enter*

Sir.....Redy.......*heads to the door as the security teams move into there perspective positions*.....*hands Nofftz a phaser* Sir you may need this..........

*motions for a team to get there rifles and move to the other doors to the bridge and hold there positions*

Lets go..........We got a situation to resolve.........

[Skon]

=A= Skon to Vorak =A=

Understood, Admiral, I shall report to you as soon as we are docked.

=A= Skon out=A=

Very good, Commander. I have informed the station that we are arriving.

[Vakin]

Vakin bounds Love's arms to the chair, her ankles as well.  He inputs commands at the console before Love. A countdown initiates in which the shields will deactivate in 600 seconds. Then, in a rather hasty manner, he enters the turbolift.

"Docking Bay." (As the doors are shutting) "A pleasure working with you, Ms. Love. "

He nods his head in a mocking manner, accompanying it with a sordid smirk.

Just as the ship is submerging into the pastel workings of the nebula, Vakin steps into the Docking Bay.

[Rasmain]

"Hermes, thank you!"
*He runs back to the device, and inserts the activation code &*^%HD#(). Instantly, the device lights up in response, and all controls become available to Rasmain. He checks the radiation with his tricorder, and sees that the device stopped emitting that particular radiation. Now, Rasmain knew for sure that he had succeeded.*
"It worked! It worked! Hermes, it worked!"
*He turns around to face the holographic appearance of Hermes, but he is no longer there...*
"Hermes?"
