U.S.S. Evolution Mission 7: Responding to Skytoucher Distress Signal

[Kelli Lauren]

"Will do, sir. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous myself."

[Nick Brooks]

Yes Commander, take us to red alert.

=A= Brooks to Captain Sanchez=A=

Sir, we are coming up on the Skytoucher. You may want to come up here.

=A= Brooks out =A=

[Kelli Lauren]

"Shields up, weapons online, and waiting for your order, Captain."

[Nick Brooks]

OFF: How do I get my Starfleet medal bank instead of this stupid white box?

[Kelli Lauren]

"We're not in much better condition. Our shields are down to 8%, we have massive structural damage, and our weapons are all but shot. I don't really know what's holding us together."

[Thomas Jackson]

Sir, the Loxians are under attack by some kind of energy cloud. I've never seen anything like it. My sensor readings are off the scale. Whatever that thing is, it's powerful.

[Kelli Lauren]

"Aye, sir."

Kelli proceeds in shutting down the weapons, shields, warp systems, and everything other than life support.

*Sanchez, Brooks and Lauren materialize directly onto the bridge. The bridge is one mess, and some of the panels are still flickering or inactive.*
"Oh wow... looks like you've had some fun here while I was on the Skytoucher. Status report, Mr. Jackson, are we in any shape to set course for Avalon Station and make repairs on the way? We are without warp core, after all."

[Randall Sanchez]

*Sanchez looks around on the bridge, realising that there is still no helm officer yet.*
"Well, it's been a while since I have docked a ship myself, it'll be a good training."
*He touches some buttons, and slowly the Evolution moves into docking bay 5.*

[Skon]

OFF: Sorry...posting in the wrong place again. Ignore me.

*Sanchez walked up to Dr. Keilah's desk, and sat down in the visitor's chair, a frown on his face.*
"No, I'm not here for health problems, doctor. Don't worry. But the problem may be of a worse nature. The ship is heading on a rescue mission, answering a distress call of the U.S.S. Skytoucher. Well... do you remember the incident we had with the Loxians, long ago? The abduction, the battle, the Dark Passage..."

[Skon]

=A= Skytoucher to Evolution =A=

Commander Skon, here.

My compliments, Captain Sanchez, and my thanks. We are, indeed "taking a beating" as you humans say. We have only partial main power. The Cardassian station Vontak Nor is also in great distress. We are attempting repairs, but we have at least one intruder on board. There is something else out here besides the Loxians. Be cautious.

=A= Skytoucher out =A=

[Randall Sanchez]

*Sanchez looked at the viewscreen, and saw that the Loxian ships opened fire on the Skytoucher anew.*
"Lock on phasers, load torpedo tubes. Fire on my comm-"
*At that moment, the Evolution shakes heavily as other Loxian ships close in and open fire.*
"FIRE!!!!!"

[Nick Brooks]

OFF: Sorry. Been on stress leave for a week. Im back now.

*Sits in the Captain's chief as Sanchez leaves the bridge*

Ms Lauren, what is the condition of the Loxian ship? Can we outlast them?

[Nick Brooks]

*Thinks for a moment*

Do it.
