Mission 13: "The Heist"

[Givrillian Sarpedon]

"Er..yes, Captain." Sarpedon said, a little confused. Normally, he had more specific directions that '20 lightyears somewhere over that way', but he supposed that he could live with it. As they cleared the station, he used the astrometric charts to find an empty area of space, '20 lightyears somewhere over that way', and began warming up that jump drive.

Overhearing T`lana's comminque with the Captain, he 'pointed' the ship in the direction of travel, and came to an all-stop. The jump drive warmed, the ship shot forward, faster than any Warp drive could take it.

A short time later, the ship emerged from it's faster-than-light travel, coming once again to a complete stop. This time though, the only thing surrounding them were stars.

"Jump complete."

[Luke Voison]

"On my way," Luke responded, tapping his com badge just after he picked up a phaser rifle.

Luke entered the ship bay three minutes later, he strapped a tricorder to his belt as he walked. He eyed the foreign ship as he walked towards it, feeling a sense of anxiety. Oh well, I got myself into this.. He thought to himself, gripped the handle of his phaser.

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar activated the hidden switch on the Blue Harvest's ramp. As it lowered, Chaya watched T'lana and the rest of her new found Starfleet friends disappear, each in a white glow.
Chaya then tossed the Viper's key to Odona Covell and gestured Aeryn Kae to get into the Blue Harvest and climbed the now lowered ramp.

Inside the Corellian Stock Light Freighter, Chaya tapped the airlock cycle. As she did so the ramp raised and the inner door hissed shut.
Chaya Sar sprinted to the Cockpit and closed the small compartments door.

@"I suggest you strap yourself in Aeryn."@

@"Odona, take off immediately."@

Chaya then crossed her fingers and activated the Blue Harvest's engines. To her surprise and joy, her pride and joy's engines turned over immediately.
Chaya turned the freighter 180 degrees to face the Hangar, which it complied easily on it's powerful Repulsorlift Engines. The massive Ion Engine was next, which ignited in response to Chaya's command. The Blue Harvest shot out of the Hangar and angled towards the now decloaked Rivendell. Her Viper followed, piloted by Odona.

Landing in the Rivendell's spacious Hangar, both the Blue Harvest and the Viper landed safely. Both vessels' engines shut down in response to their respective pilots.

Chaya opened the airlock and ramp and walked down the ramp, once it had finished lowering to the deck.

[Odona Covell]

"I need to work on the Patience bit, I am not good at it" Sitting down he took a swig of the juice before continuing "Tell me more about these starfleeters, I am curious about them and why they would risk so much to rescue us."

[Taurik]

"Nevertheless, we must try. Set course back to Federation space, perhaps we can confuse them long enough to escape their attention."

[T'Kar]

T'Kar found himself on the Cardinal Virtue with Taurik. The only thing running through his head was ~today is a good day to die. today is a good day to die~ Finally he got his mind to think something else as he saw Taurik take a joystick.He decided to take engineering, though he could be used at all stations. "Captain, would you like me to engage the warp drive, or shall I reroute power to the weapons?" said T'Kar to Taurik

[Taurik]

Taurik tapped his communicator. "I will meet you soon, ensign."

By the time the thurokiir arrived at his room, Taurik was able to stand again. "You wanted to see me, Dechtakar?" the captain asked.

"Yes, and you know why, master," came the response. "I couldn't help but feel your expanding presence. In fact, something tells me that many of the Order felt it as well."

"I could not control it," Taurik said. "At first, it seemed harmless, but as I reached further, I seemed to be pulled outward, until I could not stop expanding."

"You know, master, that none of the Order have ever been able to touch Nil'kemorya as you just did. The rest of the council must know of this, if they do not already."

"Yes," Taurik sighed. "I understand."

Dechtakar turned to leave, but paused at the door. "Master Techerakh told you, Taurik, that he believed the Nil'kemorya's embodiment was among us. What he didn't tell you is that he believes it is you."

[Luke Voison]

Luke nodded, "Yes," he replied shortly. Oh so that's his name! He turned his head slightly and glanced(Or checked out) Ensign Tigerlead, he needed to keep a visual image of everyone in his head. So now all there's left to do is find out where his Counsoler's office is.

[Aeryn Kae]

Aeryn was surprised to hear Odona's voice in her mind, and as if on cue, the alien guard came and adjusted a setting on Odona's collar, and the blue glow from the Force-dampener increased.

"Do not provoke him," she whispered. "These aliens are quite brutal, and I do not doubt their willingness to kill unruly prisoners. I would not wish to inform your master of your death by their hand."

[T'lana]

As soon as both extra-galactic ships had landed, T'lana's Tricorder counted down to 3 seconds.

=A="Mr. Sarpedon, jump."=A=

The Heraani Space Station exploded in a brilliant white-hot fireball. A shockwave radiated out from the place the space station used to be, just as the Rivendell distorted. The Jump Drive was doing it's work, folding spacetime to create a wormhole and stabilizing that wormhole with massive amounts of Exotic Matter.

The jump-corridor, or colloquially known on Earth as a wormhole, lasted 3.26 seconds and was replaced by a flash of light and stars. The Rivendell was also no longer being distorted, as spacetime returned to normal.

They had made it...

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar took a sip of her Jawa Juice and savored the flavor, it had been a long time since she had drank one of her favorite drinks. Chaya Sar drank the whole beverage down before replying to her apprentice's question.

"Ah...that was nice." Chaya then looked to Odona and stated. "There mission to these Heraani and their space station was for more than just to rescue you and Aeryn, They required a datacore as well. But I am pleased that they also assisted in your rescue. Remember that kindness is never a risk, it is the selfishness of others that is detrimental."

Chaya continued, "In this section of this galaxy, their appears to be several major powers vying for supremacy, or simple survival. Starfleet is the military and exploration arm of a republic called the United Federation of Planets."

[Orpheus]

Orpheus had already begun plotting the slipspace coordinates as Chief Sarpedon took the ship to warp. Eight seconds remained, then seven... five... three... one...

The Rivendell dropped out of warp, with the Heraan in close pursuit. The jump drive was held at near-critical power, and as soon as the ship was below light-speed, Orpheus engaged the jump with electric precision.

Three-point-two-six seconds later, the Rivendell emerged from slipspace, twenty lightyears from their previous position. Since their warp trail had been masked, it would take the Heraan precious moments to realize that they were no longer in pursuit.

"I'm continuing to transmit the distress call, Captain, but there's no guarantee anyone will hear it, much less be close enough to respond in time."

[Taurik]

Taurik turned to see Ensign T'Kar behind him. "I will be transporting the Heraani data module to the cargo bay momentarily. If you could, Ensign, please go and clear some of the passengers away, as it will take a significant amount of space. Contact me when all is in readiness."

[Tigerlead]

OOC: I hope there is some security action soon LOL
IC: Tigerlead inspected the assault shuttle and then made a gesture of everything is ok towards his security mate then he just sat down against the wall and thought to himself ~Well my first mission and my ship goes BOOOM... ~

[T'lana]

T'lana looked at the PADD which gave a basic low down on the Cloaking Field Generator's operations, very basic.

"First you will need to tap into the EPS grid, to provide at least 9000 volts to the unit. Then the device will need to be plugged into the command and control bus and finally you will be required to connect the device to the hull, for the electromagnetic field to be generated successfully. The ship should be shielded enough for the resulting electromagnetic interference."
