USS Tiberon - "...And Into the Fire"

[Tom Karelia]

"Aye, sir, we are engaging at maximum warp."

[Jeff Keach]

Tom, ETA ?

I believe now is a good time to go to a tactical silence, no uneccessary emmissions or strange sensor beeps, all crews ready at yellow alert once we arrive at our coordinates.

[Vorak]

Two Romulan warbirds head away from the station, toward the USS Tiberon, at that moment closest to the station, and open heavy firepower...

[Jeff Keach]

can we help with the retrieval aspect?

Soran what do you think?

[Will Karelia]

(OFF: Mr. McKeen, be aware that Jeff Keach is not going to be the CO of the Tiberon much longer. After the battle, we will be holding a ceremony on the bridge in which VAdm. Keach officially transfers all command codes to Cpt. Nismos Meridian.)

[Jeff Keach]

That is good to hear Commander.

[Ardwyad]

The ASC Revox heads for the Romulan ships about to fire on the USS Evolution, and opens fire... Some Romulan ships explode heavily, others are totally disabled and dead in the water...

"Good job! Now scan for other problems!"

Operations: "A ship that goes under the name MEV Paladin is heavily damaged and dead in the water. It's surrounded by several Romulan warbirds that are about to destroy the ship!"

Ardwyad: "Head for the MEV Paladin, take those Romulans out!"

Again, the ASC Revox concentrates its firepower on the Romulan warbirds. Some more of their ships explode, others are trying to evade the unexpected firepower of the Revox - of a type they had never seen before and were not prepared for - but in vain, and they explode too... The MEV Paladin was saved by a matter of moments...

Ardwyad: "Good! Good! What else have we got?"

Operations: "Nearby the station, some other ships are being attacked... the USS New Orleans, USS Phoenix and USS Tiberon!"

Ardwyad: "Target the Romulan ships that are attacking them, and open fire - FULL SPREAD!"

And the ASC Revox, Delta Alliance security vessel, opened fire on the surprised Romulan warbirds, causing considerable damage...

[Vorak]

=^= Admiral Vorak to the Task Force Fleet =^=
Congratulations on your achievement. You have all fought more than commendable. The station, however, is still not fully under our control. I have lowered the station's shields from the engineering department. Please form away teams and beam down on several locations, so that we can retake control of Deep Space 12 easier and faster, and force the remaining Romulans to surrender.
=^= Vorak out =^=

[Jeff Keach]

=A= This is Fleet Captain Keach, all ship crew please report to your stations we will depart shortly=A=

[Julia Rellek]

Tara Lollock: "Lets go get our station!!!"

[Soran]

will do.

Switching to tactical alert

[Vorak]

Meanwhile, the USS Sequoia is still fighting against a Romulan warbird, when two more warbirds cecloak and open fire...

Also two more Romulan warbirds decloak to attack the USS New Orleans...

Meanwhile, the USS Evolution sustains serious damage and retreats, but a Romulan warbird decides to chase the ship...

The MEV Paladin is still surrounded by a formation of Romulan warbirds, and sustains heavy damage, but the USS Phoenix cannot go for aid, as two Romulan warbirds decloak right ahead of them...

[Vorak]

The USS Sequoia is under heavy attack by Romulan ships, and suffers severe damage... another blast and pieces of the ship begin to explode and tear of... Captain Freeman orders everyone to abandon ship, and soon escape pods are being launched.  When the final escape pod has beeb launched, the Sequoia swings around to face the lead last Norexan-Class ship, the Coalition flagship. The Sabre-Class escort routes all she can muster into the impulse engines, and in a brilliant display of light, the Sequoia rams the flagship head-first, giving all it had left in a fiery death for both the Coalition ship and herself.
The Romulan Coalition flagship is destroyed, but the first Starfleet vessel has been destroyed in the process, and escape pods are all that remains...

[Jeff Keach]

what the ####?.........

Report!  what just happened?

OFF: McKeen, I was just cusious as to when you would be on the ship, however you want to join the ship is up to you.

[Tom Karelia]

Tom spins back around to his console.

"Aye sir, engaging attack pattern Gamma 4."

(OFF: Tiberon, New Orleans, Cortez, Evolution, and Phoenix are the last remaining ships.)
