Mission 10: "Power of the Ancients"

[Doctor Who]

The Doctor used the TARDIS's sensors to lock onto Taurik, replicated and teleported an EVA suite around him with pin point accuracy.
~~You will need that, if you need assistance just call.~~

[Andrew Yates]

Is ther anyone left on this ship?

[Dean Starwind]

"Hmm, I see."

*...Dean could only stand there and imagine what combat against the Heerani would be like. He hasn't seen combat since his time on the Uss Venture but he was confident in himself that he still had it in him...*

[Taurik]

(OFF: Thanks. It seems we're the only ones. Greaaaat.)

"Very well, Lieutenant. Set a course for these coordinates," Taurik said while sending data to the helm console, "And engage at warp seven."

[Ferando ONeil]

Coming out of the Turbo lift I found myself on the bridge. Looking around I go over to the captain.

It is a bit not the light staff wise up here isn't it Captain. Did a few people take a bit of a holiday before we left and didn't make it back.

[William Taylor]

Taylor approached Lt. Jones.

"I've been assigned to help you sir, where do you need me?"

[Indiana Jones]

"I was thinking on using level one probes with modulations that would, one boost the signal about one kilometer further then they are orginally designed for, and two, act as communication wire to the outside world, of course we would get messages with a two hour delay, but I hope that this time, we are not cut off, but that is only in theory, nothing more, hadn't gotten a chance to test out the theory yet."

Jones was beginning to not be so fearful visable, but he was still mentally worried about the future mission.

[Dean Starwind]

*...Dean smiles and is excited while all the crew introduces themselves. He can tell that servingon this ship is going to truly be a wonderful experiance...*

=A=Bridge to Med. Bay=A=

"Thank you, Commander. I will bring you my completed medical profile as soon as I get my tour. I will see you in a bit. Starwind, out."

*...Dean then looks to Matthews again and nods and smiles as he gives his reply...*

"Thank you. Mr. Matthews. We will begin the tour as soon as we get the ship underway into the nebula. I can hardly wait for the tour."

*...He gives a respectful wink and then he steps slightly ahead of Will and begins to move the ship into the nebula...*

"Alrighty then. Lets get this show on the road. Helm all ahead full. Sciance, lets keep all scans and cartography up to date by canning every 15 minutes."

=A=Bridge to Engineering=A=

"Commander Freeman you may commence the dropping of your 'bread crumbs'. We are now moving into the Nebual."

*...He then pats Will on the shoulder...*

"I will be right back. I am going to inform the Captain of our entering the nebula and we will get right under way."

*He walks up to the entrence of the ready room and chimes the bell. While waiting for his go-ahead he lets out a nervous sigh...*

[Taurik]

Taurik jumped to his feet, and sternly walked out the door to the bridge. In an almost angered tone, he barked "Report!" to the on-duty tactical officer.

[Taurik]

"I haven't a clue what they are interested in, but that fact that it is so important that they would pass up a chance to attack us is reason enough to investigate."

[Taurik]

Taurik, now encumbered by the EVA suit, realized the Heraan now had the major advantage. He ducked as a soldier leaped past him, and summoned a blast of psionic energy to shatter the EVA suit, quickly harvesting the bits and launching them at the oncoming group as shrapnel.

Taurik pulled his khala to the ready just in time to deflect a barrage of plasma fire coming from the rest of the soldiers. Maintaining the defensive, he retreated slowly toward the ambush point, hoping Matthews and his team were ready.

[Taurik]

Taurik kept his blade drawn and lit, and scanned the room silenty with his eyes. Every physical sense told him the room was empty, but he knew better than that. Suddenly, he saw a light in the corner of the room shimmer ever so slightly. It was so subtle he barely noticed it, but he wasn't about to let his guard down. As swift as he could, the captain drew his phaser with his free hand and fired off a beam in the direction of the disturbance. Not surprised, Taurik saw the shimmer spew purple blood onto the floor, and watched as the shimmer faded into the visage of a Heraani soldier.

"They're using stealth generators. Sweep the room!"

The rest of the team pulled out their hand phasers and began to sweep them around the room, holding the triggers down to cover every square inch of the room with phaser fire. Several more shimmers fell and decloaked as their lightly-armored bodies were penetrated by high-powered particle beams.

[Taurik]

(OFF: Yeah, I'm here, just waiting, but I assume no one's coming back. Feel free to start sending new cadets my way.)

[Will Matthews]

"Your suggesting that we will encounter a hostile species inside of this cluster?". An anxiety crept into Matthews as well now. He kept in mind that the assignment had not yet been stated, and he found himself hoping more that the Captain would call a briefing to clear the air.

[William Taylor]

An Ensign stood outside of the conference room. He waited for the Captain and Lt. Matthews to exit and then spoke.

"Captain, Ensign William Taylor reporting for duty. I was a last minute transfer from Avalon Station, I've been assigned as an Operations Officer."
