Mission 13: "The Heist"

[Larial]

With the Heraan and the Borg now gone, Larial decloaked the Kelata and opened a subspace channel to the Rivendell. With her passengers waking up and getting something to eat and drink, it was time to see what was going on and why her creator was left on the stricken Starfleet vessel.

=A="Father, this is Larial, I am aboard T'lana's ship can you hear me? I don't know what to do."=A=

[T'lana]

"Actually Morgan, I have already designed a cloaking device, it is installed in the Kelata as you may remember. Of course the Kelata was built before I joined Starfleet, I was a member of the V'Shar at the time."

Turning back to Captain Taurik,

"Mr. Freeman does have a point Captain. A cloaking device does not have to be connected directly to the Intermix Chamber. As long as the device has enough power to produce the high energy electromagnetic field to bend light and other forms of electromagnetic energy around it. Of course we will not be able use the Nacelles to channel the EM field, we would simply calibrate the Cloaking Generator to project the EM field around the Rivendell. Larial, Mr. Freeman's android could control the Cloaking Device and be commanded to do so in secret via remote."

T'lana thought for a second...

"I do suggest that we jump the Rivendell out of Avalon Station's sensor range as soon as possible though."

[Morgan Freeman]

Being the good engineer that he was Morgan pulled the EPS control lines from the wall and plugged them into the unit.  After plugging them in correctly Morgan moved on to the Command and Control system and ran a test of the two systems making sure he had connected the systems correctly.  

Finally he moved onto the finally stem of installing a connection to the outer hull.  He ran a few scans of the system to make sure the ship would remain safe.  Once finished he turned to Commander T'lana "Alright I think we are finished."

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar was dismayed that Aeryn could not reply, but from her remote viewing she could tell that they were alright, but those collars must be some form of psionic dampening devices.

Chaya Sar pulled herself back to the Rivendell and opened her eyes, feeling a little drained. remote Viewing always takes a large expenditure on mental energy, of which you could easily recover from over a couple of minutes.

"My friends are alright Captain, but for how long I am unsure."

[Chaya Sar]

@"Thank you Orpheus."@ Chaya Sar stated over a comlink channel.

Chaya Sar, new Orpheus was an Artificial Intelligence Construct, she had met it before, but that was no reason to be impolite.

Chaya Sar then put on the dedicated hands-free wireless comlink headset and pushed to Viper's throttle forward. The small but powerful space superiority starfighter shot out of the Hangar Bay and Chaya piloted the Viper Type II towards the enemy space station, arming the Turbolasers and Concussion Missiles.

Chaya Sar started an attack run, firing the Turbolasers at the Station. High Energy light-based bursts of energy, colloquially  known as bolts, mostly struck their target causing intense localized explosions.

She certainly got the attention of the Heraani as the Space Station open fired with it's Defense Grid. Full spreads of Disruptor fire and Photon Torpedoes attempted to destroy the Viper.

So far every shot the Heraani made, miss their target, but their was a couple of times they got close.
Chaya used the force to know what they were going to do next as much as she could and so far it was working. The Viper pitched, rolled, decelerated and accelerated at speeds that would make anyone suffer from vertigo. But not Chaya, she was actually enjoying herself, making constant attack runs against the Space Station mostly with the Turbolasers, but firing a concussion missile now and then.

It was the second concussion missile that brought down the Space Stations Deflector Shield, allowing her new found friends to do their respective missions.

In the meantime, a lucky shot from one of the Space Stations twenty five Disruptor Cannons struck the Viper. The Viper's Deflector Shield took most of the blast, but left carbon scoring and a small amount of damage on the dorsal Ion Turbine Engine, causing it to sputter, but not flame-out.

She then decided it might be prudent to take out the Defense Grid, which she did with the Turbolasers, knocking out the Disruptor Cannons, well most of them any way.

[Chaya Sar]

Jedi Master Chaya Sar was about to reply to her fellow Jedi, when a crash occurred behind her. Looking around she noticed that Taurik had joined the party.

"Hello Captain Taurik."

Chaya turned to her fellow Jedi and was about to say something again, when an alarm sounded throughout the station.

[Taurik]

"The Heraan have been making bolder attacks on Gallifreyan patrols, it comes as no surprise that they may have attained some of our sensor technology."

The Rivendell rocked heavily, coming under fire from the plasma turrets of the lead Heraani ships. "Lieutenant Beta, target the lead destroyer and open fire with all available weapons."

[T'lana]

"Captain, the Heraan Capital Ships are on an intercept course with the Rivendell. Thirty Seconds to weapons range."

[Larial]

"Yes father."

Larial was glad to hear her creators voice finally after helping as many of the crew as she could and had already took them down to the Kelata. It was the only ship she knew after all and had activated the Kelata's engines and drive systems.

The Kelata, although the size of a runabout, managed to hold quite a few of the crew. Filling it as much as she could, Larial piloted the Kelata out of the Hangar Bay and kept on station and a transporter lock ready to beam her father out.

[kloek8]

kloek8 began repairing the warp drive and the holo emiters on the ship so he coud yous holocrames to get the ship home whit out putting the crew at danger ETA ; 4:30 our.

OFF:  the captins first priorty is to the ship

[T'lana]

~"I see. Well my ship is sentient, so if it was in any danger at all, it would engage it's Quantum Slipstream Drive and set course for Avalon Station. So we can be assured then that they are safe, at least for the time being anyway."~

[The Gallifreyans]

One of the Gallifreyan crewmembers in the medical bay heard a soft but repetitive tone. It was the alarm on Commander T'lana's stasis pod. The alien made his way over to the commander's pod, and found a startling truth; T'lana's body was slipping out of stasis.

"Master Taurik," came the officer's frantic telepathic call. "Your comrade is beginning to fall from stasis! Her condition is dire!"

[Taurik]

Captain Taurik stepped into his ready room on the Rivendell, and found a message waiting for him on his laptop console. He spun the chair around, sat down, and activated the message.

Quote

--Incoming Communiqué-- From: Fleet Admiral William Karelia, Avalon Division To: Captain Taurik, U.S.S. Rivendell RE: A little something for the journey... Begin: Captain, I realize you will be entering dangerous space, with no support to speak of. As such, with a little bit of coercion of the Romulan Tal Shiar, we've acquired a Phased Cloaking Generator for your mission. Your engineers will find it safely secured in Cargo Bay Three, section 27-Gamma. You have authorization from the Tal Shiar to install it for this mission only. A few things to keep in mind however, Captain. The Romulans had a few terms. First and foremost, make no attempts to reverse-engineer the device. They've rigged it to explode in just such an instance, and have quadruple-redundant safeties on that system. Secondly, since this was a deal between only the Tal Shiar and Section 31, this device is still technically in violation of the Treaty of Algeron, so don't use it in any policed space, as even Starfleet vessels will consider it illegal technology. If you are caught, I can't offer any protection, so please, wait until you enter Heraani space to employ it. Good luck, and godspeed, -WK

Taurik closed the message, and reflected for a moment. An admiral of Starfleet Command had illegal technology covertly delivered to his very own cargo bay, and it's discovery by anyone other than the crew meant the certain arrest of himself and his entire senior staff.

"All in a day's work," he thought, a surprisingly human sentiment.

The captain tapped another button on his console, and opened a comm-line to his first officer. "Commander," he said, "could you meet me in my ready room at your soonest convenience? And bring Mr. Freeman with you."

[Morgan Freeman]

For the longest time Morgan sat with his Jaw dropped, finally he was going to get his hands on a cloaking device, not that he could have much fun with it, but at least understand it.   He was listening to his commanding officers before he made a comment.

"Perhaps it be best if the crew things that Command T'lana and I are continuing to work on repairing the core.  We can isolate the engineering lab from the rest of the crew and install the device in the lab.  This would prevent any other officers from needing to know about the cloak."

Sitting back in his chair so he was more straight he continued "However, that being said, Ensign Beta at least will also have to know about the device unless you want T'lana and I to brilliantly devise a new stealth technology."

[Taurik]

(OFF: We've got the Pelicans, but no Pumas. The Puma is basically the Warthog, but with a pulse phaser turret in lieu of the gatling gun.)

"I have some questions for you regarding this mission. Perhaps you can enlighten me on these companions of yours."
