"Beyond the Veil"

[Voyager]

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy

"Yes, sir," Dolan said as he headed for his console.  He contacts Admiral Karelia's ship and is shortly given the information that Rajnus requested.  Once the download is complete, Dolan sent a copy of the information to the console by the Captain's chair and another copy downloaded to a PADD.  He then motions to a nearby Ensign and has her take the PADD to Colonel Balkazar.

After doing so, Dolan assumed that the fleet was drawing close to Gallifrey, as ship-to-ship transmissions increased dramatically as time passed by.  He wondered why the Gallifreyans wanted the marines to be transported to the planet for quite some time.  He had no reason to believe that the Gallifreyans would harm them in any way, but desperation of situation was worried Dolan, as he had seen first-hand how that desperation would, in some people's minds, justify measures that would have never crossed their minds in other circumstances.

Lieutenant Dolan - Bridge, USS Normandy

Dolan had a quick look over of the upgrades Captain Janeway had installed, curious the see what the enhancements were.  After abridged tests were run through all of the new systems, Dolan contacted the rest of the fleet.

Captain Lollock - Main Bridge USS Iroquois

"You heard the Commodore. Ensiign Clark take the helm and set course heading 348 by 016. And engage with the fleet. Match their speed."

=/\=Commander Teranis, we are getting ready to engage warp engines.=/\=

[Raszagal]

Private Raszagal - Bridge, U.S.S. Normandy

Raszagal stood at the operations console, filling in for the absent bridge officer who was injured during the Lothlorien's crash. "Do I detect a hint of envy?" she asked the captain aloud, a smirk on her face. "You could always ask Master Taurik to borrow the Rivendell."

[The Heraan]

Field Elite Du'Nakh - Aboard Heraani transport skimmer

Du'Nakh took a moment to brush some dirt from the leg plates of his golden armor. He paced around the lines of other Heraan, wishing they were on solid ground. He didn't have a fear of flight, by any means, but rather felt at home on the ground, where he is most effective as a warrior. After hundreds of years, they had finally found and invaded Gallifrey itself, and he was stuck on this cramped troop transport.

"Contacts ahead," the pilot projected to the soldiers. "Prepare for insertion."

The transport could be felt slowing and swiveling so that it's hatch would face the enemy. The door opened, and Du'Nakh felt the warmth of the sun on his face as he leaped from the ship. As his troops lined up behind him, the elite surveyed the enemy. His acute vision could pick out the escape pods atop the hill, and the teal-collared officer who seemed to be in charge.

"Warriors!" he sent to get his team's attention. "We have our target."

[Alexia]

Apprentice Alexia - Cardinal Virtue

<Alexia stood nearby with Legudon.  She nearly feinted as she felt a disturbance in from both the Space battle raging above and Heraan on the ground>

"Master, the Federation is taking huge losses, I feel as if there is no hope and we are only delaying the inevitable." Alexia said with concern in her voice as she stared at her master.

[Voyager]

Lieutenant Dolan - Charlie 0-2-2 Crash Site, Antioch, Gallifrey

Everyone set up positions, ready to take on any approaching hostiles.  The situation was tense - the Pelican's sensors were too badly damaged to identify friend from foe and any remaining tricorders were either lost in the crash or damaged beyond repair.

When a small group of Heraan turned a corner and began approaching the crash site, everyone with phasers or some other long ranged weapon opened fire, taking the Heraan by surprise.  When the Heraan headed for cover, the Council members literally leapt into action - Dolan could have swore they jumped over five meters.  They landed just behind the enemy before turning around and finishing off a majority of the remaining Heraan.  By this time, most of the weapons fire had ceased in order to avoid hitting the Council members, though shots were still fired at the Heraan that did managed to make it to cover.

Most of the rather short fight was over at this point, with only a couple of the Heraan putting up a rather strong resistance against the Council members.  No one wanted to intervene, in case they disturbed the Council members from the battle, instead watching helplessly as the fight progressed.

[Tara Lollock]

Capt Lollock - Bridge, USS Iroquois

**As the Iroquois takes another hit Lollock is thrown to the floor. The marks of battle line her face and hands. The blood trickles from her forehead down her face and onto her uniform which was clean several hours ago. She picks herself up and heads toward commander Dal's station.**

"Commander, what's the ststus of our prototype weapons?"

Dal - "Ma'am, we are losing them fast."

"Throw everything we've got at them. Lt. Swift, shields?"

Swift - "Down to 11% captain."

"Comm, hail fleet captain Taurik immediatly."

Comm - "aye ma'am, line is open and secure."

=/\=Captain, we are losing our ground quickly over here, sir. Our shields are down to 11% and falling fast. Phasers are offline, we've lost operation of half of our torpedoe launching tubes. We are also losing the prototype weapons fast. I also have many casulties and 40% of the ship is completely uninhabitable. I'm prepared to give final orders for ramming speed at your orders. Or we need coverage to do some quick repairs on the fly." =/\=

[Tara Lollock]

Capt Lollock-Bridge, USS Iroquois

**Captain Lollock breathed a sigh of relief as she saw the flagship come between them and the Herrani vessels.**

"Alright everyone it's now or never."

"Lieutenant Swift, see what you can do with those phaser arrays."

=/\=Bridge to Commander Teranis, you have less than ten minutes to give me everything you can, get those shields back up as high as you can."=/\=

**Lollock looks at a junior tactical officer, a look of panic struck his face as she look toward him.**

"Ensign, get down to the torpedoe bays and bring as many of the torpedoe tubes online as you can. I dont care if you have to shove them into space with your bare hands. Make them work."

Ensign - "Aye Captain"

**She knew very well she may be sending him on a suicide mission but there were no further options to exhaust. She held her head down and whispered very softly to herself Die Well Ensign, we shall never forget**

[Will Karelia]

Admiral Karelia - Command Deck, Starbase Avalon

Karelia left the wardroom for a moment to head to Vorak's office. He poked his head inside, just long enough to say "Sir, we need you in the wardroom, ASAP. The Gallifreyans have an emergency briefing for us."
