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

[Vakin]

Vakin boards the Skytoucher, dragging along a blonde as his hostage, holding a phaser to her neck as he does so. Emerging from the turbolift to the bridge, he fires his phaser on two officers going about their duties. One is hit directly between the eyes and killed instantly, the other is shot in the chest and dies slowly. He throws Love into a seat at a console.*

"Open a channel to the entire ship."

*Love stares at him with a scowl, doing nothing. Vakin whips her with the pistol.*

"NOW!!!"

*Love does this quickly, now bleeding from the side of her head.*

"Attention any aboard the USS Skytoucher, you are ordered to leave the ship immediately. Any who fail to do so will be cause to a Miss Love's death."

[Sirius Black]

Black exits the ship. Picking up a phase rifle from a fallen man he heads to alert other officers.

[Taurik]

=/\= Acknowledged, Commander. Rivendell out. =/\=

[Rasmain]

OFF: a Loxian virus, should have thought of that. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Loxians are known to be able to design deadly virusses, as they did in the very first mission where Loxians appeared, a few years back. Very good http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

*Rasmain jumps up when Balkazar enters sickbay, half expecting an ambush from Vakin.*
"Mr. Balkazar, you have no idea how good it is to see you! This Loxian device has tricked me! When I managed to get control over it, through the activation code, it would do exactly as I said. But apparently, some intelligent program has been able to figure out, after some time, that I'm not Loxian, and a failsafe system must have taken over, only pretending to act out my command inputs, while ship control was restored to the bridge... That's why Vakin was able to pilot the ship, and I couldn't manage to beam him off the bridge!
*He accepts the phaser from Balkazar, and follows him out of sickbay.*
"Mr. Balkazar, when this is over, we have to destroy that device. And there's something else I need to speak directly to the captain about as soon as possible!"

[Taurik]

A message comes through from the Rivendell, unbeknownst to Vakin and Love.

=/\= Taurik to Balkazar. The Skytoucher has raised it's shields, and we cannot beam through them. Your Lt. Commander Black is here, trying to help us lower the shields remotely. Maintain your current position and 'lay low'. Taurik out =/\=

[Vakin]

OFF: Geez, I leave David alone for TWO days and he's already talking to himself. Stable mind, that one has. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

OFF2: I couldn't tell you the first thing about charting or names of quadrants...so bear with me...perhaps one of you may recommend a worm hole location?

"Ingenious! You're ingenious, Vakin! You've managed to escape from a top security station with one woman alone? Amazing!..."

*As his egotistical ramblings continue, and his attention is diverted to himself...Love inputs final coordinates for the *** wormhole in *** sector. (And David forgive me, but this way Love knows someone is here to save her!) The console notes an unauthorized access into the main computer from the medical facilities. She stares with a smile for a moment before erasing the good news from the screen.*

"Generations will talk of Vakin, the mastermind! Not only overcoming his own betraying people, but the powerful Starfleet as well! HA!"

[Skon]

OFF: Balkazar, at this moment, Nofftz is in command of the Skytoucher, and he and Taurik both outrank you. You can give them your ideas, but they have the authority to make the final decisions. If they decide against your recommendations, it is your duty to obey their orders...not to order them around http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

[Jesse Nofftz]

Captain Taurik, This is a very complicated situation. The Captain could be injured or even killed at any time. We need to take action Imeadiatley. It could cost the captain's life if we don't. I reccomend we attempt to beam Vakin to a high security cell directly from the bridge.

[Balkazar]

Balkazar to rivendell*

Lets get out of here asap......You lead.....Ill pilot us out of the nebula.......Balkazar out*

*with the 3 sections of the rivendell in lead and the skytoucher following they leave the nebula*

OFF**I take it we are heading back to the station....??

[Skon]

OFF: I know, Vakin. It would be a shame to lose such a worthy adversary at this point...but...

ON: *Skon watches as the shuttle leaves the Skytoucher. He looks...almost...angry.*

We shall meet again, Mr. Vakin.

=A= Skon to Rasmain =A=

Where is Ms. Love? I have the antidote to whatever poison Vakin gave her. Beam me to her position immediately.

=A= Skon out =A=

[Balkazar]

Alright...Lets just assume that We have gotten back someone hails the station then we dock again........And we start repairs http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.......Then I can try and come up with a way to make the skytoucher a little bit more secure so something like this doesnt happen again http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> since its Balkazars job to do that http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

[Balkazar]

*Balkazar was in his office at Alpha station when a security guard came in and with an engineer in tow and the engineer tells Balkazar that he can disarm the sheilds*

*balkazar and the engineer comes out of the office and tells 4 officers to get phase pistols and rifles and take this young enigneer to engineering and take out the shields!........*

[Skon]

OFF: I'm not interested in turing this into an "off" forum, but I would like to clarify a couple of points.

First, Nofftz has been here quite a bit longer than you have, which is one reason he's in the position he's in. He has a history of being a good poster and he knows what he's doing. As for Rasmain, he's asleep...when he wakes up...maybe he'll handle the situation all by himself. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Second, Nofftz gave you a direct order not to try to take the bridge. He then attempted to contact Capt. Taurik. Once they speak, and confer with you, if they decide to take the bridge...then, okay. But let them play their parts, please. And you can play yours. I'm not trying to slam you, but please give other people a chance, too. Your ideas don't always win out...and neither do mine. That's the way the game is played http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

ON: So, Vakin, what do you say? Surrender Ms. Love and take me instead.

[Skon]

Welcome, Ms. Tpol. Please take the science station and provide a damage report to Mr. Black, our Chief Engineer. There is much repair work that needs doing.

=A= Skon to Vorak =A=
We have docked, sir. Mr. Rasmain and myself shall report to your office as soon as possible.
=A= Skon out=A=

Commander Rasmain, let's go. Mr. Nofftz, you have the bridge. Feel free to arrange shore leave to the station for the crew, but keep me updated on the status of repairs. I fear that we may be under attack soon.

OFF: Anyone who stays on the ship should post here. Anyone who goes to Avalon should post over there. Go for shore leave, if you want, but the repairs need to be made quickly...there's trouble coming. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

*As several engineers work at a damaged console an transporter pulse appears infornt of the view screen which quickly forms into a young Vulcan female.She amoves across to the Captain and hands him a padd.*

OFF:Im still waiting for an ID, any idea how long it will be.

2Scince officer T'pol reporting in as ordered, I am currently on an exchange assignment from the Vulcan high command."
