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

[Vorak]

=^= Vorak to Skon =^=
This is crucial information indeed, and this discovery may give us time to prepare for a likely assault of the Loxian government. Thank you, captain. Your orders are to dock as soon as you arrive, and begin immediate repairs. If the Loxian fleet is on its way indeed, we will need every ship in the sector.
=^= Vorak out =^=

OFF: ok, this storyline is completed now. Let's assume we arrive at Avalon Station now and begin repairs http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Rasmain]

*At that moment, the Skytoucher goes full thrusters in reverse, away from the three Rivendell parts... and on the viewscreen, the only indication of the ship they have, nebula gas fills the empty area between the Rivendell and the Skytoucher, fading the captured ship from view. Soon, the ship is no longer visible...*
"What is going on?"
*Rasmain feels the ship going suddenly in reverse, and slight turbulence can be felt. He winces as he makes a wrong movement with his injured knee, but ignores it and continues to work on the Loxian device's controls.*
"Why is it blocking me out of transporter control? If I could transport Vakin right into the brig, all this would be over in an instant."
*He taps a few more buttons, but still gets a denying tone.*
"Either the transporters are down, or aren't letting me access them... Did Vakin put a curse on this ship, or what?"

[Orpheus]

Rivendell to Captain Taurik.

Scans of hte skytoucher indicate that such a suggestion would be unwise.  Bridge control fuctions are fully with Mr Vakins grasp.  Any attempt to access bridge control systems including video will result in him being notified.

[Rasmain]

*After a short while, Rasmain had managed to figure out all the controls of the alien device.*
"Ok, I think I got the hang of it now. I should be able to control the ship's functions from here without Vakin noticing a thing."
*Suddenly, he sees a small red light flashing, and he takes a closer look.*
"Hmm... what does that stand for? Communications rerouting... activated... transmitting to coordinates... hmm... Oh no, that's not good. But no time to deal with that now, I'll discuss this with the captain when all this is over. I have a ship to recapture first."
*He taps a few controls on the device.*
"Computer, locate Vakin and Paris Love. Are they still on the bridge?"
Computer: "Negative. Only Paris Love is on the bridge. Vakin is currently in docking bay 1."
*Rasmain grumbles in aggrivation.*
"He's trying to make his escape with a shuttle... Clever, a shuttle is smaller and more maneuvrable. It would be far more difficult to detect or trace him, let alone stop him. I can't let that happen!"
*He shakes his head as he taps the consoles again, while mumbling to himself.*
"Sorry, Paris Love, I know that you're waiting for someone to rescue you from that bridge, but I can't let Vakin escape. As long as he's free, he's a danger."
*Then he notices something else on the device's controls.*
"He initiated a 600 seconds countdown for the shields to be lowered... Only three minutes remain. Computer, override command and cancel countdown."
Computer: "Countdown cancelled. Shields are activated."
*At that moment, the EMH runs up to Rasmain.*
EMH: "Mr. Rasmain, what in the name of Socrates is going on? Where is everybody?"
"Sorry, doc, I really don't have the time now. The ship is captured by a Loxian, and I'm about to take back what is ours."
EMH: "Captured? How can this be? The ship's security systems could never have--"
*Rasmain sighs in annoyance.*
"Computer, deactivate EMH."
EMH: "What!? You can't--"
*The holographic doctor disappears instantly. Then, Rasmain turns his attention back to the controls, tapping some buttons to make sure that the shields cannot be lowered from any other location on the ship.*
"There we are. Now let's beam him right into the brig!"
*He taps some more buttons, but gets a denying tone.*
"Darn it! He's smarter than I anticipated! He got into one of the shuttles and raised its shields. I can't beam through them! Fine, I'll have to go get him myself!"
*Rasmain leaves sickbay, runs through the corridors as fast as he can, picks up a phaser rifle along the way, until he arrives at docking bay 1 at last. The massive doors opens and reveals a shuttle, active and ready to depart. Instantly, Rasmain aims his phaser rifle, targetting the shield emitters of the shuttle, and fires.*
"I know you're in there, Vakin. Come out and fight me like a man!"

OFF: Ok, here's the idea next. Vakin can't get the shields down, and he's got Rasmain at his hand. He has no other option but to postpone his escape and get out of his shuttle again, for two reasons: to incapacitate Rasmain, and to get the shields back down. However, when he and Rasmain engage into a fight, the ship will rock back and forth as the Rivendell opens fire (warning shots). Rasmain will be caught of guard and be knocked unconscious. Vakin will realise that there's no time to get the shields down and escape with the shuttle, so he heads back to the bridge (at least, there he has a captive he can threaten to kill still...) and decides to open fire on the Rivendell (for as much as he can, seeing that the nebula renders sensors, targetting scanners and long range transporters entirely blind or dead). Next could follow a nice battle scene between the Skytoucher and Rivendell, similar to the "Wrath of Khan" scenes.

[Morgan Freeman]

"Rivendell to Skytoucher.  I say again you are surrounded.  Release Miss. Love and stand down

[Morgan Freeman]

Off:  Hold the phone.   A few little problems with that Vakin.  
1.  We were told that we couldn't target any specific subsystem inside of the Nebula and the targeting sensors of the Rivendell are more advanced that those on the skytoucher.  
2.   If it is the same kind of nebula as in Star trek 2.  and we are still moving trying to find you which we would be then it would be highly unlikely that you could move around and then right back to be behind us, expecially without sensors.  Also the runabout / that you don't really know about / would follow you a heck of a lot easier then the Rivendell.

Also Balkazar, Mr Nofitz is flying the runabout with you.

On:  Freeman to Balkazar.  Have you been able to determin the shield frequency of the Skytoucher?

=A= Freeman to Taurik =A=  
The Runabout is hovering with the Skytoucher and should prove to be of some help in locating it.  Request instructions.  

[Jesse Nofftz]

Mr.Black How are repairs coming. I want  sheilds and weapons up as fast as you can get them. They are to be your number one prority.

[Taurik]

"Mr. Nofftz, if we intervene, we could be in fact inciting Vakin to hurt Mr. Skon or Ms. Love. If you see it prudent, try to set up a video feed from the bridge, and be prepared to flood the bridge with high-potency anesthezine sedatives."

[Skon]

*A shuttle from Avalon glides into the area...Skon concentrates as he pilots...his instruments aren't working properly. There are huge energy emissions in the area, but he has difficulty pinpointing the battle. The nebula is a tough place to navigate. He turns the shuttle and narrowly misses the runnabout, which is currently firing on the Skytoucher.*

=A= Skon to Runnabout =A=

This is Captain Skon, to whomever is in command. What is the status of the battle? My sensors are almost useless.

=A= Skon out =A=

[Skon]

OFF: Agreed. Mr. Balkazar, let's say that you haven't docked yet. Do your thing with your shuttle, and don't be surprised if you're joined by another shuttle from Avalon. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Orpheus]

Off: A blackhole

[Vakin]

"A little maneuver I learned some time ago..."

Vakin alters the direction the vessel is facing and engages thrusters in full, proceeding to a different depth than that of the Rivendell. The Skytoucher now lurks in the pastel shrouds. The Rivendell is in the dark now, no sensors, and no sight of him. (Dramatic music: Bum Bum Bump!) The Skytoucher is piloted to gradually emerge from underneathe the Rivendell. Vakin allows Love a 'look at me!' kind of sneer.

"Hmm...I don't believe they'll be needing their life support..."

(from viewing the front of the 1/3 Rivendell, you see the Skytoucher slowly rise behind it....like Jaws, or something....*Jaws theme song*)

Vakin targets with all available weapons, finding the target all too easy. In a burst of power the Rivendell is fired upon, catching them off-guard.

[Balkazar]

OFF**.....Luke Hi http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>..........Right now the ship is deserted except for vakin and miss love right now im aboard the rivendell hopefully......so lets just say you were following me there as one of the security officers aboard when we were abouit to storm the bridge you were one of the officers I asked to be part of my force......:).....Just for some fun with things http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

If its alright with vorak if things worked out that way.....And you were here while the hostage situation was going on....

[Rasmain]

*Rasmain cries out in pain, as he is hit in his knee, and falls down on the floor. He tries to gather his strength to pick up his own phaser rifle again and fire at Vakin, but Vakin has already left the docking bay.*
"Vakin!!!!"
*He yells in frustration, but the Loxian man is too far away to hear him, by now. Rasmain struggles to get back up.*
"I need to... treat this wound... in sickbay... before I faint..."
*He taps his commbadge.*
"Computer, beam me over to sickbay."
*Rasmain dematerialises from the docking bay.*

OFF: Ok, so Rasmain isn't unconscious then. But let's keep him in the background for a moment, and focus on the battle scene to come. This should be nice. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Don't worry, I'll have Rasmain reappear at one point.

[Morgan Freeman]

Off:  No I don't mean to argue, Just trying to make sense of what your doing.  

Ok so about the right ontop of a vessel thing.   How can you target life support?  
Balkazar is on a runabout following you.  He kind of self launched himself out into space.  I am on the third part of the Rivendell.
