FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Good evening everyone. We have several out tonight so there is a slight shift in the sim for tonight. In the magic of simming although it was a bit of a struggle, the shuttle is back safely.
So not to waste anymore time, let's rock this out and try to get back home.
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
::rh::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Yes?
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
The "slight shift" is that shift towards away team 2 rather than team 1?
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Away team 2 is dealing with sabotaging the drill.
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
yes, is that what we're shifting towards rather than team 1?
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
They are there on the rig. It will be your team's job to wreck it beyong repair without blowing us up.
Yes you're correct
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
ok
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Everyone clear?
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
SgtRock> I'll play this guy to help Maud out.
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
thanks
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Thea will be the engineer to help guide the marines in the destruction
Ens. Langsbury :
RH
Lt JG Laurel Lance :
(don't wait to pull the chute, Thea)
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Yes?
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
(don't worry I wont)
Ens. Langsbury :
Do the Marines really need the help in destroying things?
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
the marines are needed to keep the suliban at bay so yeah.
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
----BEGIN SIM----
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::manning the Tactical station in place of Morgensen and Maud::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::sitting on the edge of the XO seat chewing on his bottom lip::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Nikki how's it looking?
Ens. Langsbury :
Jehane-- in sick Bay, making sure that everything is ready for casualties and praying we don't get any
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Sgt Lucky (not Rock)> ::looks to Maud:: I think we're ready, Cap!
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
::Thea stays near the marines ready to destroy the drill. She made sure she had her tool box with her.::(edited)
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
I believe so, +Captain+ My marines are ready, give me the word and we jump.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
There are no "fishies" nearby at ze moment, Keptin, but ... I tink more vill be swimming this vay soo, yes?
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Resting in his quarters as told, but feeling anything but rest. The soft sounds of impacts against the shields stopped a while back, so now Ens. Regia was a bit in the dark about the exact situation ::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
+Maud+ Now and be safe
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- a tops playing the power console for the ship's Shields like a master organist to keep the Power Balanced between Shields, weapons and propulsion, ready to shift at a moment's notice as needed
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
+Regia+ To the bridge immediately.
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: watching power and systems and putting consoles in physical only until after battle::
Lt JG Laurel Lance :
::working in engineering making sure that the new guy hadn't sprung anymore surprises::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: He put the glass in the replicator and headed out the door. Down the hallway he went, gazing at the overhead red alert light strips ::
Computer :
the marines land safely near the perimeter of the drill taking the suliban by surprise.::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
Great Spirit, watch over our Marines and keep them safe!
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Enters a lift :: Bridge
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
+Captain+ Got it. Let's go. Thea, you stay in the middle, Tazzy takes the rear.
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: The lift doors open at the bridge ::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Let's hope not Nikki.
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
::Thea gave a nod and stayed in the middle of the marines.::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
SgtLucky> ::fires a phase rifle at a nearby Suliban, sending him plumming over the side:: First!
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Regia take your place.
Ens. Langsbury :
Jehane-- set up a triage team in the transporter room to take care of of any injured coming back from the away teams
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Keptin, I am seeing fishies forming a school in orbit! Looks like 3 cells joining now.
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Regia walks toward the helm station :: Reporting Captain.
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
How many in a cell
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
@ ::grabs one Suliban for a silent takedown, shushing Lucky as he shouts:: Shhh, you might be lucky, but we wont be lucky enough to get out of here in one piece if you keep shouting like that.(edited)
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Nods at the leaving helm officer. Logs in to his personal configuration ::
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: watching Lance to get up to speed on Roddenberry's systems ::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Three cell ships hooking up. It increases their power output and shielding vhen they join together.
Lucky> ::looks chagrined, but grins widely, pointing at an access hatch:: There?
Computer :
::Several Suliban ship could be seen on long range scanners coming to join the 3 cells already hooked up.::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
How's our shield holding?
Lt JG Laurel Lance :
::keeps thinking about Thea on the away mission and hopes she is safe::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Long range scans have three Suliban signals closing in on the existing cells.
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari--softly sings-- fish heads fish heads roly poly fish heads fish heads fish heads blast them up fun!
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Oh, ve have more incoming, Keptin ... um ... three more? Oh ... and more behind those! Ve don't have much time!
Computer :
::more suliban were alerted when Lucky shouted bringing more of them towards the marines in the away team.::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::glares at Ari, then grunts and grins:: Fishy fishy!
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Tracking the incomings on his navigation panel ::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
+Thea+ Queen how much more time?
Ens. Dimitri Core :
Lance, can't we put power to the shields and weapons at the same time while they are overloaded? Maybe make new EPS conduct to handle the power?
Computer :
::three of the suliban ships break away coming straight at the roddenberry weapons hot.::
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
Are you having fun messing with stuff that has already been upgraded, Core? Or you just trying to screw up my ship?
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- Winks at Nikki before blowing him a kiss
Laurel Lance :
::Looks at Core:: If we had time maybe, but I will not try an experiment while at battle stations
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Ve have hot weapons! Charging phasers! Locking targets .... firing!
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Scans at range would not reveal much about the incoming Suliban cell ships, but they were likely as they encountered before ::
Ens. Dimitri Core :
Smoke, I am looking to make us more efficiency during battle. Nothing more. That's why I am watching and asking questions.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
Ari, can you track our Marines? We can't beam them with shields up, but .... it's nice to know where they are.
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
+Captain+ Um I haven't even gotten to the drill yet I"ll let you know soon as I do.
Computer :
::The suliban ships fire at the roddenberry.
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- yes I can and I already have them locked on in case we have to do an emergency drop and beam out
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
@ ::shoves everyone towards the access hatch, taking a knife out and signaling to others to keep silent weapons out for the approaching Sulibans::
Computer :
::With the marines fighting the suliban creating an opening Ens Queen uses that to get to the drill to work.::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Lucky> ::finds the hatch sealed, of course:: Hatch is sealed, Cap? You want to blow it? Might spoil our surprise.
Laurel Lance :
::Feels the impact of weapons fire on the shields::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Maneuvering the Roddenberry to create a slim profile for them to target ::
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
Neither was your kockamani idea with those algorithms, Ensign. Please get up to speed on this ship and its systems. For now, look at the task at hand.
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
+Thea+ Clear
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- sends the Marines data to Adon
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
::holds tight as the ship is rattled::
Return fire
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
This vhat they mean by "shooting fish in barrel, no? ::targets another Suliban cell ship and fires::
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: does what Smoke wants. starts studying the ship and it's systems after battle. ::
Ens Juglans Regia :
They are firing on multiple points along the hull, attempting to weaken all of our emittters.
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
@ +Captain+ I'm working fast as I can. ::Thea worked on the drill, looking to the Marines,:: Try not to blow it up the red matter will leave nothing of our bodies behind if we do that.
Laurel Lance :
::turns to the monitors to assess the shield damage::
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- shifts power to shielding as needed reinforcing the wakening points
Ens Juglans Regia :
I am attempting to minimize our profile, but they are fast and the Roddeberry is a big ship.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
@ Lucky> Fine, fine, no boomies. But ... better work fast, we got more coming. Ooh, and these are crawling on the walls! Cap! ::aims and shoots, but misses the damn thing:: Crap!
Computer :
::shields take a direct from the suliban ships. while Nikosh's aim is accurate taking out one of the three cells attacking.::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
And our fire power is twice theirs. Take 'em out
Ens. Dimitri Core :
Smoke, Can I do damage repair? :: gets repair kit while asking and goes to repair damage::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: The Suliban ships dance around the navigational display, even with the best evasive moves. Regia shakes in his seat ::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
I am going best I can, yes? ::shoots another cell ship:: They just keep coming!
Ens. Langsbury :
Jehane-- starts taking care of casualties coming into sick bay
Laurel Lance :
::sees the points of weapons fire and swears when on of the shield emmitters is hit:: Damage to the Shields, ::grabs a repair kit and runs out to make repairs::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
@ ::Thea's fingers work over the console trying to find the most vulnerable part of the drill. catches a suliban coming at her out of the side of her eye and jumps back reaching for the dagger in her boot and throws it into the suliban's heart before going back to work.:: Try to keep them off me.
Ens Juglans Regia :
It feels like they have had upgrades, or are learning rather fast.
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::moves to stand beside Nikki, just to be more eyes:: Nikki, I don't use weapons, but I'll help you keep eyes on, OK?
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- gets the nearby emitters to temporarily cover for the damaged Shield emitter
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
::Gives a glance over:: Yes, the EPS conduit and plasma flow regulator in junction 327 just blew.
Computer :
::Nikosh takes out another cell two more from the group of ships starts at the roddenberry as the marines thin out those on the surface.::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Once they punch a hole in a specific part of our shield grid they will undoubtedly target that area.(edited)
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
@ Lucky> ::to Thea:: Whatdya think we're doing here? ::shoots again, clips it's leg:: Damn things move funny!
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- keeps the power to the shields up trying to reinforce any damaged portions
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
We can't afford any more hits like that.
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Wonders what kind of headaches he is unintentionally giving the engineering staff ::
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- I'm doing my best captain
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: goes straight to junction 327 and brings the EPS conduit and plasma flow regulator and starts repairing as fast as he can::
Laurel Lance :
::enters the repair corridor for the shield emitters and keeps running till she sees the smoke and sparks:: +Smoke+ I have located the damaged emitter and am beginning repairs
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
We need that drill down now... ::Mumbles to self:::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
There are so many fishies, Keptin! Ari, shift shields to starboard dorsal ...
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Moving the ship using any letter of the Greek alphabet that would help ::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
@ ::Thea finds what she's looking for and climbs the drill itself. finding the center of the drill. grabbing one of her tools to open the hatch she works. grabbing another tool to cut flow to the power relays and carefully pulls the red matter core from the power distribution nodes. carefully putting it on her bag she moved to climb back down.:: Blow the damn thing up so they can't replace it, I've removed the red matter core!
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
+Lance+ Keep an eye on the emitter connections, they can be tricky. We don't want anything happening to you before you can see Thea again.
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: keeps running until he reaches the junction and starts repairing as fast as he can::
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- shifting shields to starboard dorsal
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Leaning into a tight 'turn', a ship nearly collides with the Roddenberry ::
Computer :
::as thea removed the core the drill started to whine down still 1/3 of the way from the core of the planet. The suliban ships attacking the roddenberry break off their attack and retreat.::
Laurel Lance :
+Smoke+ Yes Ma'am. ::sets down her tool kit and begins to carefully disconnect the emitter::
Ens Juglans Regia :
Captain, can we hold any of them in a tractor beam? Maybe the power can't be spared.
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
We should have more than enough power.
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: tries to repair junction while still powered so that the Bridge and Engineering don't have to move power from the junction::
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
+Captain+ Drills down
Ens Juglans Regia :
Their targeting will be disrupted if they are held, at least for some moments.
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
+Thea+ Understood, get back her safely.
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- too bad we can't use tractor beams to play cymbals with them
Laurel Lance :
::Is down to the last connection, but it wont come free::
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- would love to hear them explode to the Anvil chorus from IL Trovatore
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Still moving the ship in crazy ways :: Let me try to catch one of the cell ships.
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
+Bridge+ We're getting a good bit of strain down here. I've got repair teams on it but I don't know when Ms. Lance is going to get those emitters replaced. ::Sliding over in her chair the main console::
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Goes to grab on of the cell ships with a tractor beam, enough to throw the ship off balance ::
Ens. Langsbury :
Jehane-- continues working on the injured in Sick Bay
Computer :
::there are no ships around for a tractor beam to lock on to they are in full retreat.::
Laurel Lance :
::grabs a wrench to force the disconnect to break free as smoke and sparks surround her::
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- they probably need a photon enema
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
@ Lucky> We in? Let's blow this and get the heck out of here!
Keptin, more Suliban ships coming. Ve need to withdraw!
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
@ ::Thea returned to the marines as Lucky drops the bomb in..::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
@ +Roddy+ Hey, ship, can we come home now?
Computer :
::The Marines and Thea return to the shuttle and disembark from the planet as the drill blows up taking several suliban out with it.::
Laurel Lance :
::the connector finally breaks free and she pulls the damaged emitter out and gets a new one in place, attempting to carefully reconnect as there is live power going through::
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- ready on the shields/ transporter beam to get the away team back
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Scanning local space again after the action tapered off ::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
So ... ze drill just blew up. Did our Marines get out?
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Yes, they are on their way back
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::breathes a heavy sigh:: So ... I don't tink I like being Tactical Officer.
Ens. Langsbury :
Ari-- seeing the shuttle leave goes back to working on playing the power console
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
+Captain+ Away team two is requesting permission to dock. ::Came crewman Cuttner's voice.::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::pats Nikki on the shoulder:: You did great, Nikki. Hold it together until we get safely out of here.
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Making sure team two can dock safely ::
Laurel Lance :
::putting the last connecting in place ..... and gets zapped and falls backwards. stunned for a moment:: Smoke wasn't kidding... ::Checks the connections before packing up and heading back to engieering::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
+Thea+ We will be waiting your safe return.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::glances at his console:: I tink we send message to Vulcan Council about dese Suliban, yes?
Ens. Langsbury :
Jehane-- gets a triage Team to the shuttle Bay in case any of the jar heads need it
Computer :
::Lances efforts, as well as Core's were just exactly what they needed. Regardless of the fact that the drill just exploded in magnificent glory. As well as that the Suliban have retreated. The ships systems were back up to nearly full capacity.::
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Yes, Nikki
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Hoping the damage is not too extensive ::
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
::grins and sends a "secret message" to the Vulcan Council:: The Suliban are NOT your friends. Check the hole at 27 N 93 W.
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
::Almost giggles:: I smell burnt hair, Laurel.
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
+Captain+ we're safely back and I brought back a present I've brought back the red matter core from the drill in a lvl 10 containment field.
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: makes sure everything in place and closes the junction and heads back to engineering to see what else needs repaired::
Laurel Lance :
::walks back into engineering, her hair a bit wild looking. Like she stuck a finger in a socket and it's sort of smoldering:: Yeah, well at least it is only the hair
Ens Juglans Regia :
Confirmed, Team Two is back aboard.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
And all ze Suliban ships have withdrawn.
Ve can leave here, now, Keptin, yes?
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
+Thea+ welcome back to you and team 2. I'm sure Kai will appreciate your gift.
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
+Captain+ I am sure as well, it is good to be back.
Laurel Lance :
::plops down in a chair in front of one of the stations:: You did warn me about those connections!
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Yes, we can Nikki
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Regia! Get us out of here, then, vhat are you vaiting for, eh?
Lieutenant Felicity Smoke :
I did, warn you. ::Smirking.:: You get that done, Core? You sure you're alright, Laurel?
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
Regia return us to our original coordinates.
●● Lt Nikosh Targus :
Keptin, ve can stand down Red Alert, yes? Vant go Yellow?
Ens Juglans Regia :
Aye, turning us about and heading to our original location.
Ens. Dimitri Core :
:: nods at Smoke:: Yes Ma'am!
Laurel Lance :
Well, let's just say I am having a bad hair day ... a bit shocking too.. and leave it at that!
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Warps towards their original coordinates ::
○●● LtCmdr Adonudo Tlanuwa :
::moves back to the XO seat and flops:: I hate these kinds of stressful situations. I'm getting to old for this!
FCpt. Ravynn Phoenix :
::YELLOW ALERT::::
Laurel Lance :
::has a metallic taste in her mouth and keeps trying to rub it off her tongue::
Ens. Langsbury :
Jehane-- finishes treating the injured and goes back to sticking pins in her dolls
Ens Juglans Regia :

Cmdr Queen/Lt. Smoke :
Ens Juglans Regia :
:: Welcomes the warp field outside the ship ::
Laurel Lance :
::notices we have dropped to yellow alert again:: I guess that part went well.
MCpt. Kirsten Maud :
::punches Lucky in the arm:: No thanks to you!
Ens. T. Queen / Lt. H. Argeneau :
::Thea smiled at Lucky and the way he was acting.:: Is this how it always is for a mission with Marines? ::Thea asked with a smile.::
