Rivendell Mission 4: Defend Space Station Avalon

[Taurik]

"Commander, applying for a new executive officer would take longer to go through Starfleeet Command than the duration of time you have been absent. Consider logic when you say such things, Commander."

(OFF: Just having a little Vulcan fun http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>. I don't really mean it...)

[Mitch Walker]

Mitch stirred...he moaned and his eyes fluttered open.  Then he sat up.  

"What am I doing in Sickbay?"

[Vorak]

OFF: Not THAT fast, please. You should also check what is going on on the Skytoucher, and Avalon Statin (Ops, a new topic is opened for it). They haven't even mentioned the arrival of the fleet yet, and the Skytoucher is still in briefing of the senior officers. We need to keep things consistent with each other, so don't open fire just yet, until Vorak gives the order. By the way, the plan for the Skytoucher and Rivendell was to hide inside the nebula, wasn't it?

[William Travis]

Travis watched as the Loxians bombared the Galaxy Class.

"Take some fire off the Venture, take us around it and fire on the attacking ships. Let her breathe"

[Morgan Freeman]

Off: Captain you blew up my ship!!!  We better get a new section or I better get more parts to build one.

On:  =A= Engineering to bridge. =A=
Systems are repaired and your back in the fight.  I found you more power to shields and they are now back up to 90%  I have sent all 8 of the antimatter container weapons to the primary torpedo launcher.  
I lost 4 of my engineers but we arre still kicking it in there.   Remember the Arwen has a shield scanning system to violate a ships shields.  
=A= Engineering out =A=

--Lt.Commander Tores, Saucer Section--
sir i informed the shutle bay.

targeting weapons and locking on to their engines fireing weapons

[Mitch Walker]

"Aye sir, engaging."  

A few taps on the console and the Rivendell veered towards the nebula.  Soon it disappeared into the whispy clouds.

[Taurik]

(OFF: Actually, it fits in fine. It took me a while to notice you edited it though.)

=/\= Lieutenant? Lieutenant Walker, respond. =/\=

There was no answer from the other side.

"Computer, locate Lieutenant Walker."

"Lieutenant Walker is on Holodeck Two."

Taurik walked to the nearest turbolift and went to Deck Thirteen, and paused outside Holodeck Two. He pressed a button on the wall panel to open the door. Once the door pulled into the wall, Taurik saw Lieutenant Walker laying on the floor, unconscious. He walked over to him and felt for his pulse, which was present, but almost gone. taurik sensed a strange energy coming from Walker, and leaned in toward him, and placed his fingertips on Walker's temple. He then realized since they couldn't sway him, they had gone for the human, known to have considerably less mental resolve that Vulcans. Taurik placed his fingers on strategic points along Walker's face, and braced himself. He did not want to go back, but he had no choice.

"My mind to your mind. My thoughts to your thoughts. My mind to your mi--"

---

For the third time, Taurik stood in the abyss. Lavelle was there, but this time, a third figure was present. In the pure whiteness, Taurik had  to squint slightly to make out the new one's face. It was Walker, as he had expected.

"Why have you abducted this man? He has done nothing. Filling his mind with your philosophic ideas will serve you no good. As will filling mine. What do you hope to do by convincing us of this?"

Lavelle spoke in his usual emotionless voice. "If you do not know the answer to that, you are more feeble than we thought."

"I fail to understand. You have given me nothing to base a hypothesis of your motives on. For a race of pure mental energy, it seems logic escapes you quite often."

"We will leave you. For now. Just remember, there are those in the universe that are more than they appear."

---

Taurik wakes up slowly, and takes his hand from Walker's head. The young lieutenant shifts slightly, but is for the most part unconscious. Taurik picks Walker up from the cold hologrid and carries him to Sickbay, laying him on a biobed.

"Doctor, Lieutenant Walker has suffered severe mental trauma. I believe he has had an encounter with the Na'jigat."

[Ferando ONeil]

OFF: Captain have you heard anything From fleet Admiral Vorak about my change of position.

OFF 2: Mr Baklavar pain for humours sake, Juast face it your a sadist.

ON: Walking on to the bridge I see lt Baklavar get zap twice and go over with the emergency medical kit that I was carrying.

"Is everyone else up here okay."

[Vurak Spock]

Delete this please. I need to stop staying up late. lol.

[Ferando ONeil]

Yes I probably do have something I can give you Mr Freeman, I can call you that can't I, but first I would like to get a good and proper scan of what is happening.

A few moments of discussion and scanning later, Mr Freeman do you have any allergies to any of the known Beta Blockers.

*the ships shakes*

shield down to 85% sir returning fire

[Loxians]

*The Loxian flagship continues firing upon its own Loxian ships. One by one, they are disabled or destroyed... The Prime Commander looks at the viewscreen in despair.*¨
"Has anyone been able to regain control over their station yet? ANYONE?"
*But everyone answers negative. There seems to be no way to regain control over the ship.*
Computer: "Two minutes to auto-destruct."
*The Prime Commander cries out in rage.*
"It must have been the Loxian spy device on that ship! SOMEONE must have decided to use it against us, and betrayed us!"
*While out in space, more and more Loxian ships get destroyed, if not by the flagship then by Starfleet, the Prime Commander's second in command approaches him.*
"Sir, we must abandon the ship. It is going to explode in less then two minutes, and if we remain here we will all be killed. It is impossible to regain control over the ship in less time than that."
*The Prime Commander sighs in defeat.*
"You are right... How many ships of us are left intact?"
*Another officer pushes some buttons on his panel.*
"Umm... only 12... no, make that 11... No, just 10 now... In fact..."
*The Prime Commander stops him.*
"I get the idea! We're lost! The entire Loxian fleet is destroyed, and all we can do is save ourselves and limp back home!"
*Then he turns to his second in command.*
"Find the Loxian ship in the best shape available still. We will beam over there and make our escape."
*The second-in-command nods, pushes some buttons and locates one of the ships.*
"The one over there in the rear wing, sir. It is one of the few ships left sustaining minimum damage. Shall I announce the other ships to retreat as well?"
*The Prime Commander gives him a stern look.*
"No! They will not know of our escape. They will continue fighting to the death!"
"But..."
"THAT is my decision!"
Computer: "One minute to auto-destruct."
"We're running out of time, we have to go!"
*Suddenly, some of the other bridge officers jump up.*
"Sir, aren't we to come with you and beam over to that one Loxian fighter?"
*The Prime Commander looks around with a grim smile.*
"There just isn't enough space on one fighter, for all the people on this ship. But you will have the honour to die in the line of duty to your Loxian Government."
*The officers want to jump up in protest, but the Prime Commander swiftly takes his disrupter weapon, and fires upon them. Then he nods at his second-in-command.*
"Time to go now, there's nothing left here for us, but the taste of defeat."
*They leave the bridge and head to the transporter room. Soon thereafter, they beam over to the Loxian fighter... As the battle goes on in space, the flagship destroying the last remaining Loxian fighters, one of the fighters retreats and goes to warp, back to the Loxian homeworld, but everyone else is too busy with the battle to notice it. The last surviving Loxian ships fire in despair on the Starfleet vessels, but they are now hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned... And then the final moment happens... The Loxian flagship violently explodes, destroying two more Loxian fighters in the shockwave, and space is filled with debris. Only two small and heavily damaged Loxian fighters remain... facing the fleet of Starfleet ships in a much better shape... There is no winning this battle, and the two Loxian fighters soon realise this... Instead of fighting on against their enemy, they admit in defeat and set course toward each other... In a matter of moments, they collide with each other and both explode... Only debris is left, no Loxians survivors... An entire fleet is obliterated, thousands of Loxians are killed. But the battle is over...*

OFF: don't go after the one escaped Loxian fighter, the idea is that nobody noticed it... They won't form a threat any more anyway, but they need to be able to return to their homeworld for another different, future storyline. http://expansionfleet.sparks.priorweb.be/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Mitch Walker]

"Aye sir, full impulse!"  The Rivendell burst from the Expansion nebula, into open space, heading for the Loxian fleet.

[Taurik]

"No. Be prepared to fire the torpedoes in a dispersal pattern among the fleet, to do as much damage to as many ships as possible.
