Mission 8: The Battle of Avalon

[Rasmain]

*Rasmain enters the bridge, and saw Captain Taurik in his chair*

"Good day Captain, I'm totally settled now. I must say that this ship is even more impressive then I had thought..."

[Vorak]

=^= All Federation stations and ships within reach to receive this message =^=
This is Flag Admiral Vorak speaking. We have recently received word that an attack on Avalon Station is impending. The enemy in this case, is the Na'jigat, a species that exist of pure mental energy and thus are unable to be killed by conventional weapons. Also shields are useless. Read more about the Na'jigat, their strength and weakness, in the database at http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin/fleet/ikonboard.cgi?act=Page;p=najigat" target="_blank">http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....najigat . Thank you.

This is a call for all ships of all divisions, with a request for military assistance to the highest possible degree. Avalon Station is about to be attacked soon, and the impact will be grave. Please send all available ships to Avalon Station. If this station falls, then the position of Starfleet and the Federation in the Delta Quadrant will become unstable.

Any ships arriving at Avalon Station may report their arrival to Avalon Station's Ops here http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin/fleet/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=78;t=50;r=1" target="_blank">http://www.expansionfleet.com/cgi-bin....=50;r=1 in Avalon Station Operations > Station Ops > topic "The Battle of Avalon".

=^= Flag Admiral Vorak out =^=

[Taurik]

(OFF: My khala is simply a weapon, akin to a Jedi's lightsaber. it does nothing against the Na'jigat.)

"Disengage from Avalon Station and enter a defensive stance around it. Open a channel to the lead Gallifreyan ship."

[Morgan Freeman]

The turbolift doors open to expell Freeman on the bridge.  

"Commander Baphomet and Lt Matthews.  Riddle me this.  The Gallifreyan vessels where out of phase until they cleared the energy suckers threshold right.  What if we do the same thing to Avalon Station.  

If all of the ships expell Bertaron rays at the station so that its clouded with them.   The station raises its shield on a reverse polarity, and then we fire a 35 second blast from the Deflector full of shift drive particals.  It would push the station out of phase until they lowered its shields.  

I see only 3 problems with it.  
1.  The Rivendell's deflector whould most likey burn out.  But we can seperate and then use section 2 or 3 to fire the burst.
2.  An inverted shield does not protect anything from conventional weapons fire.  
3.  The rest of the fleet would still have 0 protection from the energy cloud.

Opinions people!!!"

Freeman stands waiting for a response.

[Morgan Freeman]

Off:  Sorry just pulled that one out of thin air about Travis and Taurik.

On:  "Doctor, how is Commander Travis by the way?"

[Morgan Freeman]

"Do it commander, go to red alert.  Helm move us in to position behind Avalon Station.

Helm Officer:  Aye sir, moving into position

Admiral, we have an idea to "clock" Avalon station from the energy cloud.  If we fire a partical squence at the station and then they activate there shields in a reverse polarity they will capture the particals the shield will charge them and the station will dissapear from the cloud."

Off: are the Najjat still around?

[Morgan Freeman]

"Good work commander, signal station operations for permission to dock."

**Waites for a minute.  **

"Commander Baphomet, take us into docking please"

**Morgan rises from the command chair and waits for Baphomet to sit in it. **

[Morgan Freeman]

Freeman Returns to the bridge of the Rivendell from engineering

"Ay there Lt. Matthews, I was hoping you where still here.  I have been studing an inhancement the the regenerative shield grid that will allow the shield system to learn the signiture of attacking weapon and adapt to it.  I understand you have great experience with shield systems and was wondering if you could give me a hand to see if we couldn't get the system online before we go off on wherever the heck we are going.  "

[Rasmain]

*Rasmain was laying beneath one of the OPS consoles on the Skytoucher's bridge and was trying to get some sort of communication working again. The ship was heavily damaged and almost all of her systems were down. The bridge was lighted by red and white flashing lights. Rasmain had made several efforts of repairing a system but it seemed that after repairing one, another one failed on him. He knew that he had to keep on going because failure wasn't an option. There were still several crewmembers alive on this ship and they needed to be saved. Many of them were trying to find a way to the bridge, but as there was no power and several ways were blocked, their journey would last long.*

"Acces de...nied. Ac...ces denied" *The computer voice said*

"Damn! Even the computer's vocal subroutines are giving up on me. What's next?"

*At that moment the ship shaked and Rasmain bumped his head to the console*

"I knew that it wouldn't be the smartest question to ask, damn"! Let's get going again."

*After he had modified and repaired several subroutines again, he found the console above his head working*

"Finally! Let's try to find out why we are not rescued already."

*Rasmain began to work*

"Sensor's are beyond repairs, so I can't even determine our position nor the condition of station Avalon. Let's try if I can sent an audio message on a low band frequency, something the Na'jigat hopefully won't detect as they might still be out there."

=A= This is Commander Rasmain from the USS Skytoucher =A=

"Can anyone receive me? If so, this ship is in need of assistance. There are several survivors onboard but we are unable to get to the escapepods and launch them. Can anyone read me....over"


*Rasmain sat down and waited. The only thing he could do was wait, making up a damage report would only be frustrating. The Skytoucher seemed as good as dead.*

=^= This is Commodore Nesbitt secritary of security for Frontier Division to Captin Taurik of the rivendell i need a security statis update asap as we have a situation on the station and we need to know has there been any suspicutus activity on board the rivindell?? Get back ASAP=^=

[Morgan Freeman]

Baphomet and Freeman spend the next few hours working together on modifying the Scorpion.  After the readouts show all systems function Freeman grabs Baphomet in a big bear hug shouting
"Its alive. "  

Then feeling a bit embarrased backs off and gets a little quite.

[William Wallace]

OOC: I am going to play it safe as a character.

IC: Captain the sensors still show all clear to base sir. we can go either way warp six will get us there in ten hours sir a spacial jump sir would get us ther instantly.

[Will Matthews]

Matthews stood ready at his station, awaiting word for things to do.

[Baphomet]

OOC: Yes, but it might be a while.

[Taurik]

After recieving a brief report on the situation at Frontier from a junior crewman, Taurik took his place in the command chair.

Realizing the comm system on the station would most likely be on the fritz, Taurik projected a psychic message to everyone of importance on the station.

"Taurik to Frontier Station," the captain spoke directly into the minds of the command crew. "Is there anything we can do?"
