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

[Skon]

OFF: Ok, here's the short story. Vakin first planted that device on the Skytoucher during the last mission. It seemed to help him scan the Skytoucher's systems and transmit codes and whatnot to the Loxian fleet and generally sabotage the ship.

But recently, the device has started to emit ridiculous ammounts of radiation, and Nofftz and Black sealed it down in a powerful forcefield. At this point, we don't know what this thing is, but it clearly is powerful and could be out to some use.

As for me, I guess I'm still in transporter limbo. Hope I don't end up in that black hole...

[Balkazar]

OFF**Finaly was able to get on so bear with me http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>........

Alright....Balkazar is the security and tactical officer aboard the skytoucher there for he has the security codes to bypass anything on the skytoucher including the sheilds..........Now There is always some sorta external docking port on the ships as a way to escape if needed and there is one near the bridge.......The shuttle is supposed to try and sneak past the shields which Balkazar can do without Vakin knowing....Sorta to catch him off guard.....That was the plan http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.......so in a way i can bye pass the shields http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> and get aboard the ship http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

now im comfused as to what you wish me to do http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.......Because am I supposed to cont. to go on threw the jefferies tube ? or what ?

[Balkazar]

OFF**DOH!......Well ya think next time i could be the rescue the damsel lol http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> hehehe :)Alright I dont know how to modify so ill make a whole new post and start from there http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

ON**

*the shuttle with the security forces nears the skytoucher without vakin knowing....Once they get close enough the runabout fires weapons onto the shields...Does a few passes of firing at specific places on the shields and notices the shields begininng to weaken*

OFF**Ill stop there so Skon can post with his shuttle http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Arent i so nice http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

The plan now is to wait for skon to show up but also for him to come threw the shield with me in the shuttle then i dock the skytoucher and skon transports to my runabout http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> so he can get on http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Of course the fire power i used against the shields would of course have vakin notice i think http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Rasmain]

OFF: The activation code is &*^%HD#() but I wait to post with Hermes to tell Rasmain, until Vakin and/or Paris Love post first again, to establish the fact that the ship is about to enter the nebula any moment now. The idea is that Rasmain gets the activation code only moments before his connection with Hermes breaks down because of the nebula. So make it exciting http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Balkazar]

*Balkazar materializes aboard the skytoucher in security station Alpha*

*taps his comm badge and contacts raismen and taurik*

Sir we got a hostage situation here get to security room alpha and be fully alert sir

Capt of the Rivendell Im aboard the skytoucher with my security force Beam over as many security officers as you can........Ill be needding them to restrict his access to teh vital areas of the ship.......Security room Alpha will be the main HQ for the time being........Send over what help you may.........We may have to storm the bridge with beam in's and set the phasers to stun to take care of this situation as quickly as possible.......Balkazar out*

[Skon]

OFF: Interesting indeed.

*Skon watches as the Skytoucher disappears. He attempts to follow it, but the nebula makes it almost impossible. He attempts to communicate.*

=A= ...on...to...unabout... =A=

I...close....toucher....attempt... commun.......

[Balkazar]

Oh btw Rasmain sir....Miss PAris Love is also one of the prisoners.

[Rasmain]

*The device suddenly makes a particular sound, to Rasmain's surprise. He taps the controls to find it why, and discovers that someone on the ship is trying to contact him.*
"At last! The cavalry comes to the rescue!"
*He taps some more controls in an attempt to respond to the communication.*
"This is commander Rasmain, can you read me? I am currently in sickbay, and I could use a hand taking over control of the ship's functions here. Vakin is still on the bridge, with the hostage. Respond if you receive this message."

OFF: Balkazar, keep in mind that you couldn't know Rasmain's exact location on the ship. It would have been more logical to set up a command center in engineering. Now that Rasmain has informed you of his location, you can decide it is better to go to sickbay where Rasmain is, instead of engineering. We need to keep the story credible. As for communications, they are possible in short-range only, meaning:
you can communicate normally with anyone aboard the same ship or shuttle you are on. Communication with other ships and shuttles is only possible if they are very nearby, and even then with static. The further the distance, the more static, up to the point where communication is impossible. Anyway, now would be a good time to make the "final move" in retaking the ship.

[Rasmain]

*Suddenly, the device makes a strange alert sound.*
"Hmm... something's wrong with this thing..."
*Before Rasmain can finish his sentence, the ship's alert claxons begin to blaze on all decks.*
Computer: "Intruder alert. Intruder alert. Intruder alert."
*Rasmain looks up in surprise.*
"How did that happen? The ship's systems must see Balkazar's and Skon's presence as intruders. But that doesn't make sense, the device should follow my command sequences, unless..."
*Rasmain attempts to access other controls on the device.*
"Unless the device has been fooling me all this time! That's it! It is designed to be operated by a Loxian, and some sort of intelligent program detects if the device's operator is Loxian or not. If not, it only pretends to respond, and... Oh no!"

OFF: This should give Vakin warning that people have come aboard, and give him time to prepare his final escape (maybe binding the bomb on Paris Love, my idea, for example). This post will also be another indication that the Loxian device EVENTUALLY needs to be destroyed.

[Skon]

*Skon hears the alert alarms. There is no more time. The team has been discovered. *

Mr. Balkazar, find Mr. Rasmain and gain control of the ship. I shall be on the bridge.

*Skon turns to run for the bridge...

[David Bluebird]

Runs into sickbay, im here doc, anything to do?

[Vakin]

*Nods slowly, unaware of the Vulcan's true intentions.*

"Ms. Love,..." as the panel lights up, "would you be so kind as to transport the Captain off of the ship and activate shields?"

Love finds his sarcastic politeness unbearable, but she does what he asks with a grim face as he keeps his pistol to her neck and a tight grip on her shoulder. Skon disappeares with the glow of the transporters.

OFF: I don't know why Skon had such a weird look, but whatever he had planned, Love just got it instead!

[Hermes]

*At that moment, the holographic person reappears.*
"Please state the nature of the medical emergency."
*He looks at Rasmain, who realises that the link with Hermes was severed now, and the EMH program itself was working again. The Skytoucher had entered the nebula...*

[Rasmain]

*Rasmain hears the warning of the Rivendell over the intercom too, as he is attempting to tend his leg wound in sickbay.*
"Bah, I can't find the right dermo-generator. I guess I should have payed more attention in medical classes, after all. Oh well. Computer, activate EMH."
EMH: "Please state the nature of the medical emergency. Oh, it's you again."
"Yes, it's me, doc. And the medical emergency is my leg. I was hit there with a phaser rifle."
EMH: "Oh, so now that you need me, you know where to find me again, hmm? But when I'm not needed, they just deactivate me. When will people finally understand that we holographic doctors have feelings too."
*He shakes his head, as he takes the right dermo-generator and starts tending Rasmain's wound.*
"Hurry up, doc, I have to stop Vakin as soon as possible, before any more people get hurt."
EMH: "No can do, commander. Your leg is severely hurt. You should be glad you didn't vaporize at all. Can't release you from sickbay until you're better again."
"Doctor, I don't have time to get 'better again'. Fix my leg, so I can get going again!"
EMH: "Sorry, commander, doctor's orders. You know I can releave you of command."
*Rasmain looks up at the EMH, as he starts to get really annoyed.*
"And you know I can deactivate you any time I want."
*The EMH rolls his eyes and sighs.*
"Very well. This should do for now. But be careful with that leg, and as soon as all this is over, come to see me again."
*Rasmain jumps off the biobed again.*
"Will do, doc. Thanks. Now I have to get back to work!"
*The ship shakes violently, and Rasmain assumes that the Rivendell has opened fire again. He knows there are lives at stake, and if he wants to save them, he will have to act quick. He rushes toward the Loxian device, and starts working on its controls again.*
"There has to be a way to stop Vakin..."

[Vakin]

OFF: It's the guy from the horror film Leprechaun. This little dude hunts you down for his gold. You guys should rent it. *snickers* nearly everyone finds the picture creepy, Brandon wasn't going to upload them yesterday, rather wait til today, but he didn't want the creepy picture on his computer.
