Mission 3: "Time is of the Essence"

[Aaron Miller]

<Aaron saw Kelli come in and then he left the station to go back to the Operation console to work>

"Sir, Im picking up 42 Heraan ships.  Besides the casual ships and mass pain we will all be feeling in the next few minutes.  The entire ship is ready to be destroyed per your orders." Aaron said with a hint of humour in his statement to hide the true fact hes scared out of his mind.

[Aaron Miller]

<The Bridge erupted in a explosion that sent sparks and crew members flying everywhere, Aaron was thrown from his console over towards where the Captain sat but barely missing him.  Aaron looked up a tad disoriented till he got his barings and went back to his console to do a damage report>

"Captain, their was an explosion in engineering, im reading 5 deaths, 6 wounded, 4 criticals.  The explosion sent a cascade effect along the EPS conduits leading to the bridge.  We arent dead yet but give it time." Aaron said trying to ease the already huge tension on the bridge.  "Integrity is down to 20%, Aft and forward torpedoes tubes damaged, shield matrix suffered minor damage, lost half the EPS conduits, and several plasma conduits exploded.  Several crew members from engineering are being sent to sickbay with 4th degree burns.  Commander Spock is unconscious with severe wounds." Aaron said as blood trickled down from his forehead, his arm was hurting possibly broken and his left face was scarred from the sparks and fires.  Aaron just winced and kept on working, thinking women sure love men with scars was all that Aaron thought to keep his mind off the pain and his mind in the fight.

[Lois]

((LOL that made me laugh))

Mark woke up on a stretcher, apparently there wasn't enough medical beds(or whatever their called). He reached up and gripped his forehead, trying to find where the wound was. Feeling like throwing up, he turned his head to the side and tossed up his lunch.

[Alexia]

<As 2 that Malcolm shot started to rise again, she used her telekinesis to strangle the life force out of them then broke their necks, just to make sure they were dead, flung them into the oncoming Heraan threat.  She watched as they started to struggle back up with the dead weight of their comrades on them, she took Malcolm roughly by the arm and threw him into the room and close the door.  She then used her telekinetic thrust to throw 2 of them back towards the bulk heads while deflecting plasma bolts>

[The Heraan]

Warmaster Ar'Krakh looked at the Master, whom he knew, and the apprentice, who was of a race he had never seen before. She wielded the weapons and abilities of a Sentinel, but was not of Gallifreyan blood.

"Master Techerakh," he projected condescendingly. "It has been far too long."

[Aaron Miller]

<After several days Aaron came onto the bridge, his left arm was taken off due to mass injury and in its place was a cybernetic replacement.  He saluted Commander Lauren and went to take his station at Op's>

"Operations ready, Commander.  All stations and systems report repaired and ready." A stern voice came from Miller, it was as if Miller's demeanor changed over night, he was no longer the sniffling baby he once was.

[Spock]

"It was already tried Lt. by Lt Tom Paris of the USS Voyager.  If I read the reports right, he turned into a lizard and mated with his captain who was also turned into a lizard as well.  So since im the engineer of this ship im not going to put the lives of this crew in such danger as that.  Warp 9.999 will do just fine for maximum warp.  I will NOT push the engines to warp 10 even if it was possible." Spock told Krenn and Sanchez.

[Randall Sanchez]

"Unless what, Lieutenant? This really isn't the time to hold back!"

[Lois]

((Oh wait that isn't right. I didn't realise James was in Engineer. Well let's just say I passed out on the bridge, not beside James))

[Malcolm]

He tumbled in, and pivoted to aim his phaser at the Heraan attacking Alexa as she made her way into the room; he was ready to close the door.

[Techerakh]

Techerakh found it difficult to hold back his anger now. "You twisted her mind and her perceptions, until she saw you as saints. You stripped every bit of honor she had, and turned her into an abomination!"

[Randall Sanchez]

(OFF: Remember that warp speed factors increase velocity exponentially. For instance, the difference between Warp 9 and Warp 9.9 is about the same as between Warp 1 and Warp 7. The higher you go, the more you increase per factor. Warp 9.975 is the fastest the Intrepid-class is rated, but we could probably push Warp 9.99 for a little bit, which would be a notable increase. Once you hit Warp 10, though, you become omni-present, existing in every location simultaneously. Suffice it to say that the hull can't take that kind of stress.)

"We had best not push our luck, Ensign. We'll be no good to Earth if arrive in pieces. Commander, if you can push the warp engines to a higher velocity, by all means, but hold back if the stress becomes too great for the hull."

[Aaron Miller]

"Aye sir." Aaron said as he tried to find power but their was non except for life support itself.

"All we have is life support sir.  I can give tactical maybe 30% more power and thats it, anymore I will have to divert from engineering itself.  After that we have nothing.  Not unless....." was all Aaron said as he went back to his station to work on a few calculations.

[Aaron Miller]

<Aaron came out of the ready room screaming and wreathing in pain as several crewmen carried him on a stretcher while still trying to restrain him.  But the pain was too great and the only thing that made him feel slightly better was screaming.  Blood was everywhere, on his face, body, and his uniform was saturated with his blood as he was taken to the turbolift.  Their was a nice blood trail leading from the ready room to the Turbolift where the crewmen were.  The EMH had to sedate him quickly before moving on>

[Malcolm]

(Keeping it going...)

Malcolm keeps firing his phaser as Alexa backs into the room.

Suddenly, there's a bright flash followed by a resonating boom, and suddenly everything goes black. Malcolm pitches backwards, stunned by something. As he falls back, he hears Alexa thudding to the ground.
