Mission 8: The Battle of Avalon

[Baphomet]

"Commander sensors indicate Frontier Station is powering weapons."

Baphomet had no time for the chain of Command and new that the Rivendell's Shiftdrive could not be traced and even with an Antimatter/Matter Reactor could power an Interdimensional Portal.

To Computer: "Override Helm control, power Shiftdrive."
Her Vulcan mind was working overtime calculating safe jump coordinates.

"Computer set Hexadecimal Vector Coordinates: 48 61 6C 66 20 61 20 6C 69 67 68 74 20 79 65 61 72 20 66 72 6F 6D 20 46 72 6E 74 69 65 72 20 53 74 61 74 69 6F 6E engage."

The forced gravimetric flux from the Rivendell's engines, as the Shiftdrive engaged caused time on board to slow down.

A quantum burst emitted from the nacelles, as the Rivendell slipped out of normal space, slipping back into normal space 0.5 Light years from Frontier Station.

As the Shiftdrive powered down, time on board the Rivendell returned to normal.

"Commander I appologise for acting, but Frontier Station was seconds away from destroying the Rivendell.
It appears that the events that are unfolding on the station, have gotten out of hand."

[Trekertrev]

off: Hi I was told to post here as helm officer for my training untill november 11th about just so you know. Name Cadet Jack Whillis.

ON:
Jack walks on the bridge after just beaming over from the academy and walks to the captain.

"Cadet Jack Whillis reporting for helm duties sir"

Moves to tkake the helm and await further orders.

[Baphomet]

"Aye, Commander."

Baphomet, designer of the Shift-Drive would have been pleased with herself, if she were not a Vulcan.
Years of studying nearly every part of Subspace and coming up with a device which could manipulate all those subatomic particles and energies that exist within Subspace, more often than not failing in the attempt, but finally having her efforts come into fruition, ready to be shown to the Federation, then being told by the V'Shar and the High Command to not present it to Starfleet at all, well any other species in the cosmos might be a little miffed at that.

So Baphomet placed the unit in her personal Shuttle afforded to her by the V'Shar, knowing that logically a situation out here on the frontiers of known space (As far as humans are concerned) would present itself and the Shift-Drive would be needed, who wouldn't want an infallible means of travelling instantaneously anywhere in Space and time?

===RED ALERT===

"Commander, Shields at 100% and the Shift Drive is at stand by"

[Ferando ONeil]

*Sickbay*

As we had picked up a far ammount of the survivors of the ships that had been distroyed I was working feverishly to get as many of them to live.

Shortly after I started I knew there were a goodly number that would die. A smaller number than that actually did die but still the information needed to be past up the chain so that their families could find out from Starfleet that their service had brought them distinction but un fortunately it also brought them death.

Computer record the death toll and the names of those that Died. Send it to Commander Freeman asthe Officer commanding this ship until Captain Taurik's return.

The computer Beeped and snet the message to the bridge station at which Commander Freeman was sitting.

[Morgan Freeman]

"Aye sir, I will be in engineering should you need me sir. "

Freeman takes the sword and leaves the bridge.  When he is in the turbolift he turns back to Taurik

"Sir, I will not be disassembling it by the way.  Just looking at its internals."

=A= All is well. We await your return. Frontier Out. =A=

[Richard Ransom]

==^== Frontier Station to Rivendell, This is Fleet Admiral Richard Ransom..................................................Computer:This Message is Not Allowed, Blocking Transmissio==^==

[Taurik]

"No one is entirely sure we can, Lieutenant. In any case, power down weapons. I want to make Rivendell less of a target for the Na'jigat."

[Baphomet]

"The Station can move to a new system by itself now Commander, it has a Shift-Drive.
It can simply emit the Gravimtric pulse through the Deflector shield array, sir."

Baphomet continues...

"The only real forseeable problem is a matter of power, fusion reactors do produce enough power to generate a Portal, might I sugest, setting up a Zero Point Energy Converter to power the Shift-Drive and then inevitably the station."

OOC: The benefits of having a Zero Point Energy converter are numerous, but the most importatant is an endless supply of clean and powerful, non destructive, energy production that is greater in out put than an Antimatter/Matter reactor or Quantum Singularity combined.

[Will Matthews]

Matthews returned to the ship and entered the bridge.
"Captain, the Admiral told me you might have returned".
He noticed the arm and slightly wavered.
"...The Rivendell is needed to check the wreckage of ships for survivors and supplies, and things of that sort".

[Will Matthews]

"Beaming the computer remains to the secondary cargo bay".
He engaged the transporters as the intact remains of the Skytouchers computer core onto the Rivendell.
"Helm, Begin one fourth impulse and assume orbit around the station".
As the ship approached Avalon, the tractor beam shifted to move the Skytoucher's chunk a reasonable distance from the stations bay doors.
=A= Procedures complete, Captain =A=

[Baphomet]

Baphomet starts to feel a little uncomfortable by the inference of Morgan's question.

"We Vulcans usually keep most of our lives secret, especially when it comes to lesser races in the galaxy. As you know, in Vulcan culture we are paired at a young age, I ... have no pair.
That is why I had to take on a more androgyne name, apart from not being able to bare. . .
I guess...Comman...Morgan, do you find me...err...interesting at all?"

She looked away, not being able to maintain eye contact anymore.

[Techerakh]

Several Gallifreyan cruisers drop from hyperspace, and begin approaching Starbase Avalon. A wide-beam transmission goes out to the Starfleet defense force.

"This is Master Techerakh of the Order of Gallifrey. We have come to defend this outpost from the Na'jigat."

[Orpheus]

"Well, if power transfer beams were established between the station and the three remaining vessels, the warp fields could be extended to encompas the entire station. Tractor beams could then be established to help drag the station into subspace."

Orpheus allowed Freema to absorb the information before continuing.

"Of course, the Delta Alliance or Gallifreyans may be able to assist."

[Taurik]

"I am glad to return. As you might be able to tell, I did not fare as well as I would have hoped."
