Mission 13: "The Heist"

[Orpheus]

"The captain is not currently on the bridge, Ensign, however, I will release tactical control to you, since there is now a tactical officer on station."

The AI, who had been running Tactical himself in the lieutenant's place, disengaged his automated control of the tactical console.

"If you have any questions, Lieutenant Stevens is the current bridge commander until the captain or Commander T'lana return."

[Chaya Sar]

"Thank you Captain." Stated Chaya Sar with a slight bow.


OOC: FYI remember that the Corellian Stock Light freighter is the Blue harvest, not the Viper. But both will need star maps for the Navicomputer of both vessels.

[Luke Voison]

Voison shook his head and mumbled something about dry sandstorms as he looked away. Hopefully this guy can save his life if anything goes wrong down there/

[Taurik]

Taurik crept through the final duct, having dispatched several unlucky Heraan, and dropped through a grate to the floor below, right into the detention chamber with T'lana and the Jedi.

"It seems I've arrived with impeccable timing."

[Taurik]

(OFF: Ahh, but I never actually said that they use warp drive. Other forms of FTL travel are much faster, obviously, such as the slipstream drive used by the Gallifreyans. By the way, got a link to that warp calculator? I've just been using a chart.)

Taurik was dismayed, although unsurprised, at how fast the Heraani weapons chewed through their shields.

"Helm, begin evasive maneuvers. Orpheus, set the phasers to point-defense mode." Taurik leaned over to the first officer. "By the time the jump drive is ready again," he said, "our fate will already be decided."

[The Gallifreyans]

Dechtakar watched as the second Gallifreyan vessel was beaten by several salvoes of torpedoes and plasma fire. The ship stood up to enough fire to destroy a small moon, but eventually succumbed.

The Sanctity carried on, however, and was beginning to turn the tide, with the help of the foolish captain of the small freighter that seemed intent on fighting these heavy destroyers. The Gallifreyan weapons, which several Starfleet engineers had dubbed "tetrionic beams" (a portmanteau of tetryon and psionic), were doing a masterful job at carving away layer after layer of heavy battle plate from the Heraani destroyers, and their numbers had been whittled to three, with one of the ships heavily crippled.

"Deploy the Sentinels," was the Thurokiir's only order.

"Yes, Thurokiir." The Sanctity, like any Gallifreyan cruiser, carried a contingent of Templars for hand-to-hand combat, and several highly-trained Sentinels to combat the Na'jigat. But with the advent of the Heraan, it was discovered that the Sentinels also had a knack for giving the weapons systems a considerable boost through psionic channeling. Several Sentinels made their way to the meditation chamber, the central point of all attacks against nearby Na'jigat clusters, and began to channel their power though the ships. Suddenly, the lines along the ship began to glow as brilliant a white as their beams, and dozens, if not hundreds, of tetrionic pulses began spewing forth, wreaking havok on the Heraani ships.

It took very little time for the destroyers to become overwhelmed, and although the Heraan never retreat, they knew they would not survive. As the last of the ships entered it's final death throes, the lines on the Gallifreyan cruiser cooled.

"Master Taurik," came Dechtakar's hail, "the threat is neutralized, for now. There is no doubt the beasts will send more ships after us. I will harbor your crew aboard the Sanctity, and deliver you home without delay."

[T'lana]

OOC: Err okaaay!!! Somebody call the white truck, quickly!

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar had just finished minor repairs on the Blue Harvest when Captain Taurik landed the Cardinal Virtue onto the alien battlecruiser. Chaya restarted the engines and after getting permission to dock, landed the Blue Harvest into the Hangar with Taurik's ship.

Shutting down the engines, she left the cockpit, rounded the corridor and activated the airlock cycle which opened the inner door and lowered the ramp.
Chaya then went to the Main Loading bay, where her passengers were.

"You can all get off now, we have docked. Captain Taurik is already here, where ever here is."

Chaya Sar then sat on the couch as her passengers filed out of the vessel to meet up with the rest of their crew. Chaya sighed and after a few minutes, fell asleep on the acceleration couch instead of going to her quarters.
