Avalon Fortification Meeting

[Will Karelia]

"If only it were that easy. After I realized the gifts Captain Taurik has, I did a little checking up on him. It seems he was AWOL from the Rivendell for a few weeks, and when he returned, he suddenly had all these abilities. I tried to access his shuttle logs to see where he went, but he's somehow encrypted them. Even I was denied access."

[Julia Rellek]

Maybe we should contact them and have them be a part of this meeting.

*Sisko sounded the chime on the door to Vorak's office, and then entered.*

Sorry for the interuption of the meeting.  We discovered some new data from our sensor readings on the Grace.  We were being attacked by Najitat ships which were fooling our sensors into thinking that there ships were Romulan.  I dont know how, we lost alot of datat from being attacked.  They apparently have stolen cloaking technology, because they were cloaked.  I would imagine they used tri-cobalt on Starbase 12 to make us think it was Romulans.  After re-annalyzing the data collected from Starbase 12, it looks like a Najitat detonator with tri-cobalt.  We are trying to recover more data, but dont know if its possible.  I will be on the Grace overseeing repairs and refitting ops if I am needed.  again sorry for the interruption.

[Taurik]

(OFF: The Na'jigat don't use weapons. They are clouds of psionic energy, and attack only by draining ships of energy. However, they can make themselves appear as something else, like a Romulan fleet.)

[Taurik]

"Well, Admiral, the Na'jigat are a hostile life force composed purely of psionic energy. They are constantly searching for new forms of energy to sustain themselves. They can read the mind of any unprotected individual, and can alter the perceptions of those same individuals to make themnselves appear as anything they wish. They also can unleash a deadly attack similar to lightning, as they did to the U.S.S. Righteous, however, that is a very rare occurance."

[Julia Rellek]

**Turns to Admiral Vorak**

How can we fortify our station from creatures who don't use convential weapons. Most of this seems to exceed our perception.

**Turns to Taurik**

Captain, did you have any ideas for defending SS Avalon from the Na'jigat?

[Vorak]

"There is one problem, though. We have no means to contact them, if we cannot locate them. Despite the detailed records we have of previous encounters with the Gallifreyan, none have given us any information regarding planets they live on, starbases or certain areas of space they occupy. That will make finding and contacting them extremely difficult, in this immense universe."

[Vurak Spock]

Well. Gentlemen. One of us could remain to stall for time or one of us could depart to seek further assistance on the Galifreyans. I will speak to my teacher. Lefronas as well about the situation and see also. Perhaps those who are here now can help us........ Oh. Excuse me gentlemen, I did not mean to rudely enter your conversation. I am terribly sorry for my lateness. That is highly inexcusable. I was very drained from my last encounter with the N'ygat.

(Vurak still looking a little fatiqued quickly rushes into the room from the call from the intercom. Vurak was logically not happy about being late for this very important meeting especially involved all the great powers that be. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>. He now appears in his new ambassadorial uniforms all spified up and ready for duty. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>.)

[Legudon]

"There is little you can do to 'fortify' your station, admiral. The only weapon truly effective against the Na'jigat is... Well, classified. Taurik and Vurak know, and they also know that a Gallifreyan law has once stated to forbid the usage of this substance, because it is unstable and can do even more harm than the Na'jigat would. There are, however, a few alternatives that may help you out. The Na'jigat is not capable of travelling at high speed, that is their weakness. They cannot travel faster than light. Therefore, anything related to warp speed can make it a little more difficult for them. Gather warp particles, which are emmitted by your starships while travelling at warp speed, and use these particles in your shielding and station's structural integrity. I am aware that this is not easy to do, but if your scientists and engineers work together, it may be possible. Another suggestion is, what you call a 'soliton wave', a subspace wave of energy that does not diminish and obtains warp speeds... This could be used to drive back the Na'jigat, and though it will not damage them, it may cause the Na'jigat cloud to disperse and become separate clouds that are therefore less powerful and don't have the ability to communicate with one another. If you can keep them separate during the battle, then we of the Order of Gallifrey will have better chances of driving them back. Those are the only options I can offer you."
*Then he regards Vorak.*
"Send your ships to the destroyed Deep Space 12 station, as you had already planned, and gather what remains they can find there. It can be used to mix with warp particles to create shielding and an effective structural integrity. That is all the advice I can offer you, admiral. I must return now, but we will meet again at the right time, we will return before the battle begins."
*Legudon disappears.*

[Taurik]

"I would like to point out that, if necessary, I am capable of shielding the inhabitants of Avalon Station from the Na'jigat. However, it will command a large portion of my power to do so.

[Vorak]

OFF: He's remained on the ship all this time, and is currently there on the bridge. http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

[Will Karelia]

"All we have is the mission recordings from the Tiberon. If any of us are left after this, I'd like to go check out the remains, and perhaps leave a memorial beacon."

[Montrell]

OFF: I couldn't be as you were in OPS and I was in my office http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>, I was never standing beside you or I would have posted http://www.expansionfleet.com/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>.

[Julia Rellek]

Maybe we should make sure that every officer is trained in that technique.

[Vorak]

OFF: Sorry for not posting sooner.

"Gallifreyan, indeed. I have read much about previous encounters with these species, and they are most... unusual. Yet, they appear to be the only species powerful enough to somehow keep the Na'jigat at bay. Also, it appears that this... beam... used by the U.S.S. Rivendell and Evolution, was not triggered by pure technology. Technology alone may not be able to produce this kind of power beam, as it has proven ineffective each time against the Na'jigat before. We may need to approach Mr. Vurak and Mr. Taurik personally, about their abilities. Maybe they can also offer some advice on how to increase defenses for Avalon Station against the Na'jigat."
