Mission 12: "When It Rains..."

[Odona Covell]

<Heraani Space Station - Hera System>

~"Yes master, I will try to find her.  There seems to be a great disturbance here preventing me from focusing on people inside the base.  I shall keep attempting to contact her."~

[Holographic Officer Beta]

Beta stepped onto the bridge, and looked around. Thankfully, he didn't flicker this time.

"Cadet Beta, Holographic Officer Prototype reporting as ordered Captain. Again, I apologise for my behaviour on the last mission, it was, ah, out of my control." he said,

"Which station would you wish me to man, Captain?"

[Taurik]

"It appears to be a sound plan. Put the installation into action, but try to keep the knowledge of it confined to only the essential engineers."

(OFF: Just for your information, I post all of Taurik's telepathy or inner thoughts in quoted italics.)

[Taurik]

"Very well. Make sure to catalog this test, and we shall, with your permission, submit it to the Daystrom Institute."

[Morgan Freeman]

Morgan spoke up from the cockpit of the Blue Harvest "Captain, we may be able to convert our fuel into a usable source for the vessel if I can take a sample of the current fuel. "

[Taurik]

By this time, Taurik had made his way back to his ready room, and the Rivendell was back on course for Red Acropolis.

Taurik tapped his commbadge in response. "Very good," he said. "Please tell Miss Sar that I would like to see her in my ready room at her earliest convenience."

[Taurik]

"Of course. The next time I have the chance, I'd like to introduce you to the other masters of my order."

[Holographic Officer Beta]

"Aye, Captain."

Beta picked up his mobile emitter from the top of the tactical console where it was lying, and fixed it to his arm, transferring his program across to it. He then stepped into the turbolift.

[Taurik]

Taurik lunged toward the other Heraan with amazing speed. As the Heraan drew his own energy bracer, he slid under the alien, tripping him. Taurik took this opportunity to leap onto the Heraan, cutting his weapon arm off, and placing his boot to the alien's throat.

"Why are you here?!" he projected into the alien's mind with such force that it almost seemed afraid.

[Givrillian Sarpedon]

Sarpedon had been trying to fight the Borg's tractor beam since they had managed to catch the ship, despite his best efforts at evasive manoeuvres. He was fighting with the ship now, trying to keep the impulse engines at maximum against the pull of the tractor beam, but the systems were starting to fry from the exertion. His efforts though, were at best a delaying tactic, as they would slowly and inevitably be pulled towards the Borg vessel.

[T'lana]

Givrillian had his hands full, but in Multi-Vector Assault Mode, the stardrive sections could work independently from the primary Command Section. So T'lana lowered the shields herself.

"Chief, the transport enhancement beacon is in place, beam them back immediately."

=A=Bridge Out=A=

=A="Aye Ma'am."=A= The Transporter Chief locked onto Beta's Mobile Emitter and the Transport Enhancement Beacon and beamed them both to the Rivendell's Primary Section as the secondary sections kept firing on the Borg Sphere.

=A="I have them Ma'am."=A= Stated the Transporter Chief surprised that this actually worked.

=A="Good work Chief, have Mr. Beta come to the Bridge."=A= Stated T'lana, raising the shields again.

=A=FLEET WIDE=A=

"Battle Fleet Thirteen, this is the USS Rivendell, we have the Transwarp Node. Destroy the Borg Sphere, repeat, destroy the Sphere."

=A=Rivendell Out=A=

All the able vessels in Battle Group Thirteen as well as the Rivendell, fired everything they had at the Borg Sphere.

The Sphere put up a pretty good fight, they were just lucky there was only one. But like wasps stinging an elephant, the Borg Sphere finally succumbed to the constant 'stings' from the fleet and exploded.

All vessels in the fleet pulled away in time before getting caught in the blast wave, but they were not without collateral damage.

=A=FLEET WIDE=A=

"On behalf of the crew of the Rivendell I thank you for your assistance. Coordinate with our AI for repairs and ordinance acquisition."

=A=USS RIVENDELL OUT=A=

"Orpheus, reintegrate the ship and coordinate with the other vessels, on repairs and restocking of armaments."

=A=Bridge to Engineering=A=

"Mr. freeman, we have a present for you. See if it is possible to integrate the Transwarp Node into our systems."

=A=Bridge Out=A=

[Givrillian Sarpedon]

Sarpedon stood up and approached the Captain to receive his new rank pip, a large grin on his face. "Thank you, Sir!" He said, saluting his CO

[Chaya Sar]

Chaya Sar took to staring out the Observation Room's view port and decided it was a good time to meditate, while waiting for everyone to arrive.

Her thoughts were on everything that has happened to her ever since she had finished debriefing the Jedi Council after her last mission to the planet Kashyyyk, a negotiations mission between the Wookiees  and the Trandoshan. Naturally when returning to Coruscant, it was decided by the Jedi Council that she definitely could use a holiday.

Chaya Sar was on her way back to Naboo to start her three week vacation, when her vessel was catapulted to this galaxy and this situation. She was thinking how funny things work out. The force definitely does work in mysterious ways.

[Morgan Freeman]

Walking with T'lana, Morgan walks into the mess hall and sits down awaiting the arrival of the rest of the crew.  His uniform shows signs of the repair efforts that had just finished in engineering.  
"The ship is fully functional and now you want to rip out the core to install a slipstream drive."  Morgan was smiling at his friend as he said this.

[Holographic Officer Beta]

Beta walked into the mess hall briskly, grasping his hands constantly, as if he was either nervous or energetic. The latter proved to be true as he saw the two senior officers, his face splitting into a beaming smile as he made his way over to them briskly.

He had just tried an energy drink that was the descendant of such earth drinks like Red Bull, wanting to feel what it was like to be human and take in liquids. His programming had been so thorough, though, that the energy released from the drink had made him feel more energetic, much like a human. Unlike humans, though, he hadn't been programmed to know when he had had enough, and had drank 5 cans of the delicious drink, resulting in his current state.

"Commanders!" he exclaimed, patting the both of them on the back, a little over enthusiastically. "How are you doing this fine day?"
