Mission 1: "Here Comes The Cavalry"

[Apodae Swift]

Swift had finished handing out phasers to the crew, for himself he took two Type II phasers and a single Type IV compressed phaser rifle for himself. That might seem like a bit much but he wanted to be fully prepared if he was sent over to a hostile ship of if they were boarded. It probably wouldn't be the latter as not many ships could get the better of a defiant, but anything was possible.
Once this was done he made his way back to the bridge and stood at the back of the room, keeping a watchful eye in case an enemy should inexplicably appear out of thin air. He had fulfilled his outstanding orders and Security teams were station in the sensitive areas of the ship. Thus he felt his presence was most needed on the bridge, this was simply because if the ship was boarded an enemy would head there, or if they came under attack and Commander Lollock became incapacitated. After all they can't leave the security station unmanned.

[Nonir]

Back on the Bridge

*... Nonir was doing his best to keep the Heeran ship following the Iroquois and ignoring the Freighter when all of the sudden his consul detects a two scout vessels dropping out of warp and firing on the the ship. The Iroquois rumbles but the weaker weapons on the scout ships do little damage against her but they remain a threat none the less...*

"Captain two Heeran scout ships have dropped from warp and have engaged us, Sir. And from my experiences as an officer when ever there are scout vessels there is a fleet. I suggest we complete our business here as fast as possible before things get out of hand."

[Valen StarChaser]

<Down in sickbay Valen was doing surgery on the captain of the freighter, with the amount of head trauma he recieved it was a tough surgery due to the fact that he almost died 5x threw the 6 hour surgery.  When Valen had finished he walked over to a vacant chair and sat down tired and sighed>

=^= "Valen to the Bridge.  The Captain is alive still, he almost died 5x threw his surgery, but I believe he will make a full recovery, Ill let you know when he wakes up.  Sickbay out." =^=

[Tara Lollock]

Tricking their sensors will work, however it won't work for long. we need to have something with a little more bite up our sleave. The Iroquois and it's shuttlecraft have one distinct tacticle advantage over the Heraan vessels. We are much more manuverable. We need to make sure that any battle situation is on our terms. It needs to be at impulse, not warp. Per haps if we got close enough our limited weapons power could be enough.

[Tara Lollock]

=/\=Commander, go ahead and alert their long range sensors to our reinforcements=/\=

[Apodae Swift]

Swift got to the inner parts of the pulse phase cannons and quickly reached the crystals that turned the raw energy in to the beam of nadions, in stayed in there for a little while not doing anything and making random scans. Then once he thought he had waited long enough he moved the crystal in to the right position. The he knocked it off by a few microns and once outside asked an engineer to check it. The engineer corrected his 'mistake' and then he was on his way back towards the bridge.
The torpedoes could be loaded and fired manually so is was the automated systems he needed to fix, however the hardware seemed fine so he guessed it was a problem either with the console on thew bridge or the software or firmware. Either way he reckoned he could get them operational. Once on the bridge he approached the main tactical console and began his inspection.

[Tara Lollock]

Alright were as good as were going to get.

=/\=All hands to battle stations and prepare to leave=/\=

Lieitenant, prepare for warp speed.

[Tara Lollock]

ON THE BRIDGE

Thank you commander.

Lieutenant Nonir, initiate the scan.

[Nonir]

ooc: if your talking to me im a lieutenant not an ensign =P

Engineering

*... Robert gets his orders and he runs off and suits up into his Zero-G suit and heads out side with the repair teams. As soon as he gets out to the impulse drive the shuttle was just backing up with the spare parts. He helps the crewmen remove the damaged parts and salvage what we can from them. He was thinking have our R&D team study the plasma scorching on the damaged part and some how come up with a stronger albative armor to be put on the Iroquois making her hull stronger and more resistant to the Heerani weapons give her a good gain of advantage. They pop out the old and attach the new. They fasten the last part to impulse and Robert insist a test before they head back in...*

=A=Nonir to Teranis=A=

"W ehave repaired impulse give me 1/8th impulse just to see if everything is in order."

[Teranis]

Engineering

=^=Teranis to the bridge. Captain i was just just thinking. if we are at war with the Heraan, and one of their main fleets are coming to this exact location. Could we not boobytrap the freighter? pack it with explosives then leave and watch from a distance. When they arrive blow the freighter and half the fleet with it. Just an idea sir. We are ready to leave whenever you give the signal.=^=

[Apodae Swift]

"They are not fools. That is why I think the double bluff I suggested would work. Trick them in to thinking we are trying to hide a fleet and draw them in rather then tricking them in to thinking we have a fleet." Swift said, reinforcing his point.

[Weasly Cook]

Cook's voice chimed in over the speaker.

=A= All ready to be used at your command sir, I have everything worked out to be good on the deception.=A= His voice showed that he was well pleased in his working and making the ship ready to appear like a fleet if needed.

[Julia Rellek]

Good work ensign. Takr care of the shields.

=/\=Lollock to Commaner Teranis, can you get someone working on the torpedoe tubes. I want them functional in twenty minutes.=/\=

[Tara Lollock]

=/\=Lollock to the Lothloeian, we are prepared to beam your trams back and head toward SS Avalon.=/\=

[Teranis]

Ai sir!

*Teranis walks over to a power relay station and converts power from any uneeded systems to the long range sensors.*

Try it now sir.
