Mission 1: "Here Comes The Cavalry"

[Nonir]

On The Bridge

*...Nonir gets the command from Tara and he nods and initiats that scan...*

"Commencing scans, Ma'am."

[Valen StarChaser]

<Rushing to the Captains and Ensigns side to scan them and over heard Swift>

"THAT! will be not allowed Ensign.  These men need medical attention, they both have lvl 3 plasma burns, a concusion, as well as both there legs are broken.  They will NOT! be left unattended.  I believe they should be transported over to the ship ASAP." Valen said as he began to use his medical tri-corder to scan them.

"They have to be beamed out, Immediately.  The captain has internal bleeding and I cant attend to him here.  Not unless one of you mind sticking your hand into his chest and plug the hole, otherwise he needs medical attention that I cant provide here." he said as he noticed something under the helms control panel, walking over he grabs it and shows it to Teranis.

"It looks like its a Heraani arm still encased in his armor with his weapon attached.  Hmmmmm, this could help further our understanding of the Heraani and find a weakness to them that we havent found before." he said towards the others.

[Halcyon]

"Torpedo tubes should be safe."

[Apodae Swift]

"Ma'am, I don't think the Iroquois can fit much in it's cargo bays. Probably an quarter of one of the shipments, if that. The defiant class was built to fight not to haul cargo. However it might actually be more prudent to try and salvage something from one of the Heeran ships. We may even luck out and find a piece of it's computer core, or a sample of the trooper armour, or even a component of the ship's weaponry." Swift suggested, though not particularly sure if anyone would go for it. "Anything we could beam in to our limited free cargo space could offer vital intel."

((OOC: Sorry, exams.))

[Weasly Cook]

=A= Aye, Aye, Ma'am, I will keep my eyes on making sure that they do not detect my little toys, and if they do, I will let you know right away.=A=

Cook then turned his eyes to the screen and began to scan for anything that might indicate that they had figured out his little trick.

OOC: Guys, and Gals. I will sadly be unable to post for the rest of the week, keep up the great work, and see you next week.

[Teranis]

*an idea snapped in Teranis's head that would both get the ship to safety and destroy the fleet without endangering the ship*

Mam, all the power from systems we have offline, other than the extra power i need for the warp drive, can be used on our shields. Then if we use the probes and move them forward towards the enemy fleet, we can use them as a distraction to use the picard manuver out of the nebula and fire a phaser shot into the nebula setting off the reaction and taking out the whole enemy fleet with it. We cant rely on reinforcements out here, there is noone to help us. This would be the most logical way of getting out of here alive, and at the same time, against all odds, giving the Heraan a cripling blow.

[Tara Lollock]

Alright everyone you are dismissed to the conference room on SS Avalon. Oh and ensign, you dont like it because you've never had live Gagh.

[FredLurado]

Lurado recognized the chief engineer from the crew records he had recieved, he smiled and extended his hand as the officer approached.
"Commander Teranis, welcome aboard".
He drew a deep breath and glanced around at the crew gathered on the bridge.
"We lack only Commander Lollock, XO, and Ensign Swift, tactical".

[Tara Lollock]

=/\=No, we need to get there as fast as possible. Reroute power from the replicators, we can live without those for a few hours.=/\=

[FredLurado]

"Fire the pulse phasers as they charge, they seemed to have the most effect".
He held himself in the command chair as the ship rattled from returning fire.

"Target their shield generators, prepare two quantum torpedos. Fire at my word".

He stood quickly, and tapped his comm badge.
=A=Commander Cook, Lieutenant Travis. Report to the bridge quickly=A=

[Apodae Swift]

"We've got company!" One of the guards at the door said and began to fire.
"Everyone get away from the door." Swift shouted, then turned to his two security team members not at the door. "Get behind the stand alone consoles and fire at will." He ordered calmly and his men quickly ran to position themselves behind two consoles that almost seemed to flank the main entrance. Swift ran to the door and stood next to a security crewman.
"There are four of them sir, I already have two direct hits but it had little effect." The crewman sounded worried and puzzled.
"It's their armour..." Swift said and started to think. "Join them behind the consoles." He ordered and the crewman ran from his position to get behind one of the consoles.
"Look, I'm going to give you Heeran guys a chance to surrender." Swift shouted. "Now I know what you're thinking, you have the armour, you have the warriors code, and despite other races your not overcompensating for a lack of intelligence by being aggressive. Kudos on that. However you forgot one salient thing." Swift pressed a button to activate his grenade and rolled it through the opening. It exploded with a bright flash and a loud bang, a moment after it went off Swift came round the corner and opened fire. "Don't mess with the federation." His compression rifle was at the maximum power reading and was set to a pulse setting. He managed to hit two of the trooper several times before the other two regained their vision and started to open fire. By this time though Swift was safely back behind his cover.
"Excellent sir, shall we do that again." The crewman asked.
"They probably won't fall for that again." Swift said and began to take random potshots designed to be more distracting then accurate fire.
"But there are only two left." The crewman insisted.
"For now." Swift said and fired some more shots.

[Tara Lollock]

OFF: I know the feeling   lol   http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

**IC**
Captain, it's your call, the information could be valuable however if the reinforcments arrive it could be a great battle.

[Tara Lollock]

=/\=Halcyon, tou're right. I do underestimate you. From now on i promise to give you full credit of your cpabilities. After this mission you'll have to give me a full briefing about you. And by the way, good luck!=/\=

[Tara Lollock]

No commander our best action at this point is to wait. I'm not willing to risk it. One wrong move and we're all dead.

OFF: There has been a modification to the storyline. Just play along. It'll be fun. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Feel free to argue 4 fun   lololol

[Apodae Swift]

"Sir there is no way they will drop the shields and risk the lives of fifty crewman to beam up two. I'm sorry but in this business it's a numbers game." Swift walked over to a console and brought up a ship schematic. "Our best bet, if they can't wait, is to try and take back the sickbay. The Heeran may have moved on or it might be occupied. Either way it's a good place to start. I recommend making our way their Commander."
