Mission 10: "Power of the Ancients"

[Indiana Jones]

Jones only smirked a little, "I know, I am just worried about how the engines will handle the nebula."

He only blinked, "I see, that is good, once agian the phrase, two heads are better then one proves right." Jones then looked around, "Is there anything you need me to do sir? You are the boss after all."

[Dean Starwind]

OFF: HEy there, sorry once again. I was away on some family business and I did not get a chnce to post my LOA. But I am back now and I want to get involved. So can some one give me a recap of what has happend so far and what our mission is?

[Indiana Jones]

<In Engineering>

Jones had only nodded his head to Morgan's suggestion and had gone to work, he sighed before rubbing his eyes, he had been looking at the same screen for almost an hour and all he had gotten was a two percent rise in efficincy. He had been hoping for a five percent rise.

He turned to give his report to the Chief engineer. "Sir, I have only been able to give you a two percent rise, but I will keep looking into making them better. Don't worry, when I get a job, I do not give up." He then blinked and shook his head, maybe he had been staring too long at the LCARS, but he had a job to do.

[T'lana]

It seemed a long time as the Kelata hovered there just outside the Energy Barrier, waiting for it to be set to embarkation.

But T'lana could not wait anymore and activated the Vulcan Stealth Ship's Meson Canons.
Repeated fire from the gravity-effecting Meson particles reduced the Energy Barrier's emitters to rubble, not being able to withstand the sudden shift in the quantum gravitational field.

T'lana decloaked the Kelata and brought her into the Flight Bay. A four tiered bay, T'lana seen the tier Taurik and team was on and brought the Kelata up to that tier.

Noticing the sweeping phaser fire, she seen what they were firing at as the ionized plasma streams hit several cloaked Heraani grunts.

T'lana deactivated the Ablative Generator and lowered the embarkation hatch, reversing to the secondary flight tier.

"Commander, go now, I shall cover you."

As Commander Starwind and his assault team left the Kelata, T'lana closed the hatch, raised the shields and began saturating the area with the Meson Canons not touched by the phaser beams.

Time seemed to slightly change as Meson particles imploded around the Flight Deck crushing all the Heraani, not touched by the phaser beams.

=A=T'lana to Taurik=A=

"You are cleared to proceed Captain, I shall stay here with the Kelata for a quick extraction."

=A=T'lana Out=A=

[Taurik]

"Yes. Choose your best marksmen, we will most definitely need them. Once you've assembled them, alert me, and we will meet in Transporter Room Two."

[T'lana]

T'lana cut power to the Gravimetric Engines in response to Taurik's statement and turned with an eyebrow raised.

"There are three EVA suites on board, Captain."

[Taurik]

Taurik ignored the reply for now, resolving to meet with this "Doctor" as soon as he was available. At the moment, he had more pressing issues to attend to.

Noticing that the security team was in place, Taurik leaped over the rock he was hiding behind and landed behind a group of Heraani soldiers. Deftly, he proceeded to sever two of the three soldiers at the waist with one swipe, promptly gaining the full attention of the third. He deflected a plasma shot with his blade, and grabbed the soldier with his mind, easily tossing him up into the air and throwing his khala after him, impaling the soldier in midair. As the corpse was about to hit the ground, Taurik pulled the blade out of it's chest with a short burst of telekinesis.

Now, with the three soldiers dispatched, Taurik looked ahead of them, only to see the rest of the Heraani landing party glaring at him intently. Among the smoke, he saw a narrow green energy blade activate, one characteristic of a Heraani officer.

[Galen]

On board the TARDIS the doctor studies his instruments and notices a Translocation in process, he looks up in time to see Galen appear.  

"Greetings doctor" Says the shortest Gallifreyan in history.  "The Council sent me to assist you.   Where is your usual human companion?"

[Taurik]

(OFF: This is getting ridiculously slow...)

Taurik and the assault team crouched behind a rock, just overlooking the base of the gravity lift.

"There is likely to be heavy resistance around the lift inside the ship."

[Taurik]

"Commanders Freeman and Baphomet have requested an extended leave of absence with one another back in Federation territory. But, we do have two new crewmembers, Ensign Kennedy and Lieutenant Jones. Do not let them forget to get their physicals as soon as possible. In any case, this briefing is dismissed."

As those at the table get up to leave, Taurik stopped Lieutenant Matthews. "Mr. Matthews, could you come here for a moment?" As he stepped over, the captain began. "Lieutenant, I have been observing your performance over the past few months, and I have found it exemplary. You have been one of the most reliable officers I have on this ship, and I believe you deserve to be recognized for this. As such, I hereby raise you to the rank of full Lieutenant, with all of the rights and responsibilities therein."

[Ferando ONeil]

As Ensign Navi and I pass the Engineering station on our way to the turbolift I turn to Lt Jones.

Lt have you ever been in there before. I hope so becasue this might be a short trip if you have,

Come Ensign Navi we shall get you entered into the Computer first and then await the other new arrivals to get there medical files in the computer. Then you can spend.....

The Conversation was continued in the Turbolift.

.... some time getiing to know the inside of a real life sickbay. I don't suppose you have any training in space sciences becasue with Commander Baphomet missing that would get you out of sickbay for a while.

[Morgan Freeman]

"What if we where to stagger Level 1 and Level 3 probes every other one to increase range and decrease lag time.  Also, what do you think about putting a biological marker in each one of the probes so even if the electronics of the probe fail we can track the bio part back out?"

Morgan waits a moment before saying "Lt, don't worry we will be alright."

[Ferando ONeil]

*Sickbay*

=/\=Sickbay to Bridge. Good Morning Commander Starwind. I am Lt Commander ONeil. Chief Medical Officer of the Rivendell Sir. welcome aboard. At your leisure sir I still need to get your medical profile into the ships computer sir.=/\=

[Will Matthews]

Matthews was talking with Starwind about the sickbay as the alert klaxons sounded.

"It looks like we'll have to resume this later".

He went for the bridge with the Commander, at a fast paced walk. When he stepped from the turbolift, he walked to the side of the tactical panel.

[Morgan Freeman]

=A= Engineering to bridge =A=
I've boosted the gain on the sensor's and have linked the system through the probe array.
=A= Engineering out =A=

Turns to Jones "how's the modifications to the SIF fields going?"
