MISSION PROLOGUE: PRISM Pi has hunted their prey, and now they are preparing for the final strike. Two shuttlecrafts, the U.S.S. Syndicate and the U.S.S. Epidian have launched from the Defiant class U.S.S. Aventura.  Their destination, the surface of a Class O planetoid in the Mizani Star System, and to a collection of islands which houses a top secret Alliance genetics facility. It is here that they hope to recapture Xia...and return home... Team one consists of Commander Jackson, Lt. Commander Marla Enki, Lieutenant Andrews and their pilot aboard the Epidian, Commander Dylan Roznine... Team two - Lt. Commander Aleister Lessing, their Diplomat Commander Gomes, Lieutenant Kizlev and their team leader, Commander Ray Durron.  Their objective is simple, get in...get Xia...and get out...  Good luck - you're going to need it...

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::on the bridge of the Aventura:: TAC: Keep a constant sensor lock on the two shuttles, and inform me the instant there's any indication that the base is taking action.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::stands up from his chair on the bridge:: XO: Commander Illianor, You have the bridge.  ::Moves to the turbolift:: TL: Shuttlebay.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::finishes the prep of the shuttles and looks around:: Self: Now they just have to get here.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::walks into the shuttlebay, thinking he must look like a walking munitions platform::
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Understood sir. The Flight Deck reports they are ready and prepared for launch. ::He glances at the display before him:: XO: Captain Terupi's ships are prepared to engage the Alliance Capital Ships.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Arrives in the shuttlebay:: CP: Everything ready, Commander?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::enters the shuttlebay suited up, loaded for bare, and ready to go, looking like a walking humanoid tank of sorts::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
TAC: Good... wish them luck for me. I imagine they should be able to take on the alliance ships without difficulty?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. We should have launched 5 minuets ago.
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: That is an assumption we will have to put faith into, sir. ::The Napean officer smiled back at Baranephelion::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::heads down to the flight deck and boards the shuttle, tempted to take the pilot's seat::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP, All: Well then, lets get moving.  Team two with me, Team one with Commander Roznine.
CM_Durron says:
::standing by the shuttle in full body armor weapons secured firmly to his body and the parachute checked and on his back::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::turns to the shuttle:: All: Load up! The train is leaving in one minute! ::enters the shuttle::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Walks into the shuttle craft, and runs through the pre-flight check, waiting for the others to get on board::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::picks up a parachute and straps it on over his LC-20::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::goes to sit in the pilot seat and start up the shuttle's engines::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::smiles and nods:: ~~~TAC: Faith it is, then.~~~ *CO*: Good luck on your mission, sir. Are you absolutely sure you want to do this?
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::boards the Syndicate with the CM::
CM_Durron says:
::nods to the CO than watches the rest of the other team members::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*XO*: Commander, I have seldom been surer of anything in my life.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
::Climbs in behind the IO, her gear packed, her sidearm of choice neatly tucked into a belt pouch.  Tossing a strange uniform to the IO and SO::  IO/SO: Change quick.
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
::Lieutenant JG Yan Keemal takes a seat at the joint Con-Ops board and brings the engines to full power as they prepare to do a high altitude launch of the two shuttles::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::grabs it out of the air:: Enki: Commander?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks over his shoulder:: Team 1: You can dress en route. Close the door.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::begins removing his parachute and weapons::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
IO: Alliance uniforms.  Something Terupi provided to us... if we're going undercover, we're going to look like we belong there, not like we're assaulting the place.

ACTION - Two Engineers rush off of the flight deck as the two shuttles fire up and prepare to launch. Launch doors open slowly and the crackling blue force field can be seen...

CM_Durron says:
::seals the door behind the AS:: CO: All aboard, ready to launch, sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Sees everyone is aboard and closes the door::  *XO*: This is the shuttlecraft Syndicate, requesting permission to depart.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*XO*: Shuttle Epidian ready for departure.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::thinks for a moment about this:: Enki: A good point.. but won't the weaponry give us away?
CM_Durron says:
DCO: Just like old times huh?
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::taps the console to close the shuttle hatch::

ACTION - Commander Gomes smiles and nods to Durron as she preps her gear and prepares for the drop...

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
TAC: Stand by for launch... timing's critical. It is likely that we've already been detected, and so once we launch the shuttles, we will have to be ready for an assault- ::turns to the OPS officer and nods:: *CO/CP*: Go ahead, Syndicate and Epidian, and good luck. We await your return.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::removes his helmet to give his antennae a little breathing time before the jump:: CM: They do not design these things with Andorians in mind...
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
IO: Be discrete.  We're an undercover team, the other team gets the heavy firepower.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
::opens a small container and begins removing rifle straps and holsters:: Enki: And if Xia has bodyguards and decides to put up a fight?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
*XO*: Thanks Commander. ::hits the controls to take the shuttle out the flight bay:: Team 1: And we're off.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Follows the Epidian out, getting clear of the ship, and then shifting to warp five, laying in a course for the Class-O planet::

ACTION - Sirens go off on the flight deck as the chamber is depressurized. The two craft lift off the deck.

LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@IO: Then I suppose you can stand there and take all the fire for the rest of us.
CM_Durron says:
#AS: You'll have to get used to it
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Engaging impulse drive. ::He activates full thrust as the Aventura skims the atmosphere - the two shuttles dropping into a high orbit...
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::brings weapons and shields online::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::taps the controls and takes the shuttle as fast as possible to the drop zone::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::raises as hands as though giving up:: Enki: Hey, I never said I wasn't going to wear the uniform. Just more concerned with not getting dead if we run into trouble.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::nods:: TAC: Any signs of Alliance activity towards our actions? ::taps his fingers against the armrests::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::grunts at Durron's comment:: CM: Indeed. They did not spoil us so while we fought the Dominion. A suit like this would've been a nice bonus during those firefights on the Chin'toka ground bases. ::checks his rifle power cell one last time::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::begins pulling off the armor and switching into the Alliance uniform::
CM_Durron says:
#::dons his helmet:: AS: HALOs are nothing... I just hope you didn't have a big lunch.

ACTION - As the two shuttlecraft skim along the atmosphere, they get a slightly bumpy ride...inertial dampeners kick in and stabilize the ride, a bit.

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::engages the shields and brings weapons online, ready for anything:: Team 1: Two minutes to drop zone.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#All: Standby for jump.
CM_Durron says:
#CO: Aye sir.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@COM: Syndicate: Epidian to Syndicate. Approaching drop zone. Standing by for your signal.
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: None sir...::He checks sensors again and notes the Resistance vessels moving out of the heliopause, to draw away the capital ships::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#All: You will have 30 seconds to jump while the shields are down people - make the most of it.
CM_Durron says:
#AS: Kizlev you’re first, DCO: Gnomes you’re second, I'll bring up the rear, watch your altitude and good luck.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::sets his helmet back on, keeping his antennae curled back against his head, activates the power cell to the suit, and stands ready::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Slowly sighs and reviews in her mind this type of procedure::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
TAC: Ensure that our shields and weapons are maintained at full capacity... we're going to have to defend them with full force if it comes to it.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::removes a backpack from the same container and begins disassembling his rifle and placing it inside, as with his pistols, then straps it on his back, followed by his parachute::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::nods to the CM with iron focus on his face::

ACTION - Gomes nods and locks her helmet in place, preparing to jump.

CM_Durron says:
#::rests a gauntleted hand on the captain's shoulder:: CO: Good hunting.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Lowers the shields on the shuttlecraft:: All: Go go go!
CM_Durron says:
#::Opens the door and pushes the AS out::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::throws open the exit hatch and bails from the Syndicate into freefall, head-first::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#COM: Epidian: Team One is jumping.  Standby for my signal.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::picks a jump helmet off the wall and holds onto it, waiting as long as necessary before putting it on::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@COM: Syndicate: Standing by. ::turns in his chair:: Team 1: Ready for jump.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::watches the viewscreen and his side monitors closely... as the shuttles' teams are about to jump...::
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Our teams are underway...::He checks sensors again and curses under his breath:: XO: We have company...
CM_Durron says:
#::motions to the DCO::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
TAC: Distance and number?
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Tries to regulate her breathing... slow... steady... in.... out::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::straps on the helmet and gives the CP the thumbs-up::
CM_Durron says:
#::salutes the CO and jumps out of the door last::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::aims himself like a falling bullet towards terra firma, picking up speed, feeling the rush of gravity's pull and the comfort of nostalgia::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Raises the shields and fires phasers, clearing a path for the Jump team, and hopefully drawing lots of attention:: COM: Epidian: You are clear to Jump.
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Five, minimal threats. They're making an attack run on the shuttles. ::He looks at the scans of the five fighters heading out of the Alliance base::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@Team 1: Opening door. Jump time people! ::taps a control to open the doors.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Fires a barrage of mini-torpedoes at the incoming fighters::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::grabs a hook on the wall to keep himself from being sucked out::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
COM: Epidian/Syndicate: You've got several shuttles coming your way, I suggest you return post-haste. ::turns to the TAC:: TAC: How long until we can get a transporter lock?
CM_Durron says:
#::straightens out his fall aware of the fire fight going on far overhead::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::feels his mind calm with concentration as he watches the altitude gauge and the ground base drawing closer::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::sees the incoming fighters on sensors and locks on with mini-torps::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Places the shuttle in a position from which he can cover the jumpers::

ACTION - The six team members of PRISM Pi tear down through the atmosphere at an alarming rate - too small and not generating any significant power signature, they go unnoticed by the fighters who soar right past them on their way to the Shuttles.

IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::waits for the door to fully open, then moves cautiously to the edge::
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Two minutes.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Fires all phasers at the incoming fighters::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::a fighter zips dangerously past, but hardly acknowledges it, eyes dead set on the LZ::
CM_Durron says:
#::watches the altimeter on his faceplate::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
TAC: Bring us as close to the planet as safely possible.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::watches the planet approach at what he knows is an alarming rate::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::as soon as the team has jumped, turns the shuttle and engages the fighters, firing phasers at them::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::begins chanting a battle hymn in Andorii over his helmet comm, not aware his team can hear him::

ACTION - Jackson rips through the air, enjoying his jump and keeping his eyes on their landing site. Sixty seconds to open...

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
COM: Epidian/Syndicate: Commanders, please respond.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#COM Team two: Notify me when you have landed.  I will hold here until that time.

ACTION - The Epidian rocks as two fighters launch a series of volleys on its port nacelle.

CM_Durron says:
#*AS*: Communications silent.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Fires another barrage of barage-torps at the incoming fighters, aiming carefully::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::goes into a sudden dive, avoiding the fire from the fighters and returns fire with a spread of torps::
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Aye sir. ::He sets course towards the northern hemisphere of the planet and brings the Aventura in closer::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::cuts his comm and keeps in mind the objectives; 1) disrupt main power, 2) free captured prisoners or test subjects::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@COM: Syndicate: Shall we have the Aventura have some fun too? Lead the fighters back to the ship?
CM_Durron says:
#Comm: Syndicate: We've cleared the fighters, you’re free to depart.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::suddenly remembers he's never done a HALO jump before:: *SO/Enki*: So when do we open the chutes?

ACTION - Three of the fighters go up in flames...one fighter trails each of the two shuttles.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::most important of all, 3) create general chaos if at all possible::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#COM: CM: Acknowledged.  ::Slams the shuttle to full, heading back towards the Aventura::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@Self: Oh great, one on my tail. ::sighs:: COM: Aventura: Incoming, Aventura. I have a bogey for you to play with. ::makes for the Aventura at top speed.::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::The sounds of heavy breathing meets the IO's comm::
CM_Durron says:
#::watches the altimeter ready to pull his chute::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#COM: Epidian: As soon as your team is clear, head back to the barn.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::listens carefully:: *Enki*: You okay, Commander?
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
COM: Epidian: Excellent, we'll be waiting. ::turns to the TAC:: TAC: Weapons at the ready... you've got the fighters on sensors?

ACTION - On the edge of the Mizani System the Resistance vessels meet the Alliance craft in battle...

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#Self: 3....2....1.... ::opens his chute, flares himself towards the LZ, and braces himself for landing::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@COM: Syndicate: They are opening chutes now. I have one on my tail I can't get rid of. Heading back for the Aventura to deal with it.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#COM: Aventura: Shuttlecraft Syndicate returning to ship.  Stand by for high-velocity docking procedures, Commander.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::sees the SO suddenly disappear from his peripheral vision and pulls his ripcord::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Somehow manages to pull her cord around the right time::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
TAC: Once they come within range, block the fighter from the Epidian, and fire all phasers on the remaining fighter. OPS: Inform the shuttlebay.
CM_Durron says:
#::sees the black shape of a chute below him and opens his chute than braces to hit the dark solid thing below him::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Fires aft phasers at the pursuing fighter::

ACTION - The two teams suddenly slow in their descent, drifting down to the surface of Mizani II...

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::fires aft phasers at the fighter following him, seemingly not having any effect::

ACTION - Lessing’s shot lands true, and clips the wing of his pursuing fighter. The craft begins to spin out of control and makes an uncontrolled dive down to the planet...

IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::mentally steels himself for the landing::
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: On it... ::He brings weapons up to full power and prepares to intercept the Alliance fighter::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Approaches the Aventura, drops to thrusters, aims his ship at the shuttlebay::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::drawing closer to the surface, he takes several careful deep breaths and allows his instincts to take over...::
CM_Durron says:
#::glances up as something falls distantly through the atmosphere and impacts somewhere in the ocean::

ACTION - Durron, Kizlev and Gomes all land safely. Around them they see nothing but thick brush and darkness...

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::does some lovely evasive flying, leading the fighter to the Aventura:: COM: Aventura: Incoming!!!!
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::connects with the ground, rolling twice before standing again and disengaging his chute:: *SO/Enki*: Contact!
CM_Durron says:
#::cuts loose the chute and drops the empty backpack:: AS/DCO: Report.
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::rips off his helmet and looks around, making sure there isn't a welcoming committee::
CM_Durron says:
#::pulls loose his tricorder and begins scanning the area for detection grids or patrolling guards::

ACTION - The Epidian tears past the Aventura - and at the same time the Defiant's high power pulse phasers activate, destroying the Alliance fighter with the first blast.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::comes to his feet from his landing, cuts the chute loose and draws his rifle:: CM: Ready, sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::watches as the Aventura engages the small fighter, as the Epidian approaches the shuttlebay:: LO: Send a medical team to the shuttlebay just in case.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Somewhat fumbles the landing and stays on all fours for a few seconds::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::jogs over to Enki and offers a hand up::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::watches as the fighter explodes:: TAC: Good job. Status of the shuttles?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::gives a shout of excitement and brings the shuttle around for landing:: COM: Aventura: Thanks, Aventura. Requesting permission to dock.

ACTION - Bridge officers respond to Ilianor and immediately set to work preparing for the Captain and Commander's return.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::brings up the rearguard and scans all around the team, looking out for whatever might be moving::
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
<OPS> COM: Epidian, Syndicate: This is the Aventura, flight deck reports ready, you are cleared to land...
CM_Durron says:
#::clips loose his rifle and attaches the tricorder to it keeping a constant scan for life forms showing on the screen:: AS: I'll take point.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Smiles weakly and takes the hand, stripping off the unneeded gear.  Quietly, she motions to the IO and SO, then to the station::  IO/SO: Let's go...
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::nods and follows behind the CM::
IO_Lt_Andrews says:
@::follows Enki towards the station::
Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Minimal damage to the Syndicate. The Epidian has taken damage to her engines, but nothing critical...
CM_Durron says:
#::begins working through the underbrush in the direction that the facility was::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
#::Powers into the shuttlebay, decelerating madly:: COM: XO: Shuttlecraft Syndicate has landed.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
TAC: And the teams? *CO*: Acknowledged, commander. Welcome back.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*XO*: Oh, by the way, permission to dock?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@COM: XO: Thank you Commander... on both counts. I have some damage to the port nacelle, so repair teams have a bit of work. On final approach.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::keeps himself moving in low stance, amazed how easily he can move around in his "heavy" armor::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Steps out the shuttle and hustles his way to the closest ladders, climbing to the Bridge::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
@::sedately brings the Epidian in to land, settling neatly on the flight deck:: *XO*: Epidian has docked. On my way up to the bridge.

ACTION - The Aventura's sensors pick up the battle between the capital ships and the resistance craft...it seems as it Terupi and his gang aren't fairing so well...

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::exits the shuttle and makes a beeline for the nearest ladder, climbing for the bridge::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Steps onto the bridge:: XO: Report, Commander.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::glances on his side panel, checking on the status of the battle:: CO: It seems that the resistance isn't doing so well. Now that the teams are down, I would suggest we assist in the battle, otherwise I fear Terupi will fail.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: I agree.  Move to support them.  Power shields and weapons.
CM_Durron says:
#::Checks the tricorder than steps out of the cover:: AS: Get us inside.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::enters the bridge and makes for the helm, sliding into the seat the bridge person hastily vacated::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::As they come up to the station's exterior::  IO: Lieutenant, work your magic...
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::sprints up light-footed to the nearby access port and works the key pad, opening the way in:: CM: After you, sir. ::winks::

ACTION - Keemal moves off to an auxiliary station as the Aventura prepares to engage the Alliance vessels...

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Course set for the Alliance/Resistance battle.
CM_Durron says:
#::looks at the AS:: AS: I told you to bring charges for a reason...leave it open,
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::steps back to the tactical controls, and watches as the Aventura moves off:: Self: What foreign controls... ::quickly rearranges the controls to suit his liking::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP, TAC, XO: Commander Roznine, take the helm.  Commander Illianor, take tactical.  Move us in and engage the enemy.  Fire at will.
CM_Durron says:
#::Scans the area and starts heading for the power generation building still outside.::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::hits the controls and takes the ship into the battle::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@SO: Get us in, please.
CM_Durron says:
#Team: Come on.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
Computer: Tactical display on main viewer.

ACTION - Andrews brings up a schematic of the station and motions to Jackson, who acknowledges and moves in.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::points to his belt where the breach charges are clipped:: CM: No need to waste one on a simple 4 digit code. ::grins and follows the CM::
Host LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::Jackson quickly pulls off an access panel and begins fiddling. A few moments later, an exterior port slides open:: Enki: We have access to the ventilation system...
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::looks over a tactical display of the region, marking the relative locations of the Rebel ships, as he locks onto a target in preparation for a flyby::
CM_Durron says:
#::arrives outside a hatch and motion to the AS:: AS: Put a charge here.  We want their attention.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
XO: Putting us in position for maximum efficiency in targeting enemy ships.

ACTION - The Aventura heads towards the three Alliance ships - heading right through their formation.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::sets a charge and links it to a wrist-mounted detonator control module::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO/CP: Firing phasers, targeting the lead ship...
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@SO: Good enough.... Andrews - point, Jackson - rear.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::mutters under his breath at the three ships:: Self: Get out of the way, get out of the way!
CM_Durron says:
#:: moves to a nearby sealed corridor connecting the power generation building to the rest of the facility:: AS: Second charge here.

ACTION - The two officers acknowledge Enki and fall into formation.

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::blinks and rethinks:: Self: Jump in front of the weapons fire, jump in front of the weapons fire.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::glances to make sure no tangos are about, then sets the next charge::

ACTION - The pulse phasers of the Aventura release all of their power onto the lead vessel. The shots strike the ventral hull, tearing through their shields like water through a sheet of paper...

CM_Durron says:
#::keeps the AS covered as he sets the charge than moves behind some cover:: AS: Blow both, now.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::keeps himself low, glad he's trained to moved crouched, knowing how important stealth is until....::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::gets behind cover next the CM and hits the trigger for the charges::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Watches the tactical display carefully, watching what is going on around him, leaving the moment-to-moment decisions up to his excellent CP and XO::
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::takes the ship into a barrel roll and looping up to come at the Alliance ships again::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: Well that wasn't difficult, was it. CP: Take us around for another pass, I'll be ready for them...

ACTION - The charges detonate in union, making quite the fire-works display, and setting off a massive number of alarms in the Alliance facility. Security is alerted, and immediately everyone on the station knows that they are under attack...

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
XO: Already on it, sir. Fancy flying is for free.

ACTION - The Aventura spins around, automatic targeting locking onto the lead vessel.

CM_Durron says:
#::waits for the charge to detonate than rushes into the building turning away from the power plant and laying covering fire over the corridor.:: AS: Go.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@SO/IO: That's our cue.... ::drops down to ground level, and exits into a room::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::bolts on ahead at full rush::

ACTION - Jackson drops down with Enki and looks around. Guards rush around them, but barely acknowledge the Starfleet team, completely oblivious to their presence.

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::calls over his shoulder:: TAC: What's the status of the Rebel ships? Terupi?

ACTION - Lieutenant Andrews pulls out his PRISM tricorder and looks at the schematic, motioning to Enki their destination, left, and then right...

Host TAC_LtJG_Keemal says:
XO: Terupi's vessel has taken heavy damage. The other ships are holding formation...
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::lines the ship up for a perfect shot::
CM_Durron says:
#::fires blindly into the smoke still dissipating from the explosions.:: AS: head for the power plant, plant your third charge there.  DCO: Cover him, I'll keep the corridor secure.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Motions both the SO and IO to go first, ahead of her::

ACTION - The Aventura rocks as one of the Alliance vessels fires a volley of polaron energy at the Defiant class ship.

Host LtCmdr_Jackson says:
::He nods and moves on ahead::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: What was that?  Status on shields?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::holds on as the ship rocks, then does a back flip with a half roll to bring the ship that fired into sights::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::keeps going with his orders in mind, the mission all that matters as he sprints ahead, but drops his pace a bit so he can keep rifle aimed ahead::

ACTION - Security forces rush out to meet Durron and his team. Gomes opens fire...

CM_Durron says:
#::triggers the first grenade from the under slung launcher and sends it to meet the security forces::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::stops and drops to his knees, opening up on a pair of guards that just got in his way::

ACTION - The security teams disperse as the grenade explodes in their formation. Bodies fly in various directions, and Gomes lands two chest shots with her phaser.

XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: Polaron energy beam, shields holding well at 89%.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Thank you.  Destroy that ship.
Host LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@Enki: The laboratories should be just ahead...
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::lays down some suppressing fire and presses forward::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Counts the footsteps... this is all so familiar to her, and yet, she can't let anyone know...::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CP: You heard him. ::locks weapons once again, and waits to fire again::
CM_Durron says:
#::sends a second grenade down the corridor than aims and fires:: DCO: Cover the AS.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
XO: Way ahead of you, sir. Ship is in sights, ready for your finger to hit the button. ::keeps after the ship trying to elude them::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::moving around the building, he hears shuffling of feet in the adjoining corridor, puts his back to wall, waits for them to get close, then steps out and guns them down::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CP/CO: Firing weapons... ::fires phasers and photons at the lead ship for hopefully the last time::

ACTION - Two Resistance craft tear in front of the Aventura viewscreen, pursued by one of the smaller capital ships. The Aventura swings around once more and opens fire. With the lead ships shields down, the pulse phasers make Swiss cheese out of the hull. The vessel takes heavy damage, and begins to tear itself apart...

CM_Durron says:
#::falls back to a section of bulkhead and kneels firing blindly into the confusion at the end of the hall.::

ACTION - Two guards make it past the torrent of phaser blasts from Durron and Gomes. One makes it up close to Gomes and swings the end of his weapon out. The handle of the phaser strikes Alexandra in the face and her jaw breaks with a loud crack. She goes down for the count.

CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: That ship is about to blow!  Warn the Resistance and get us clear!
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::looks at the damage to the Alliance ships and sighs:: Self: Always someone that gets it.
CM_Durron says:
#::swears and shoots at the two guards:: *AS* status?

ACTION - The two Alliance guards drop down dead, as Alexandra Gomes lays unconscious on the cold metal floor...

CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::opens a channel:: COM: Resistance ships: Get clear of that ship, its going to blow!!! ::engages the engines and gets the ship out of the way.::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Enki: Report, Commander.
CM_Durron says:
#COM: Aventura, are you in transporter range?

ACTION - The Resistance ships send their acknowledgement and immediately pull away from the lead ship.

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#*CM*: It's 10 meters away from me but I'm getting pinned down by some here who knows how to.... ::dodges a shot aimed for his head:: ....use cover well.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::A final door opens before them.  Once inside, the SO and IO stop and draw weapons.  Before the three of them stands Daryina Xia standing over a biobed, one of several lining the outside of a large facility - tubes, people, moans everywhere...::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::returns fire, but needs coverage to toss his photon grenade::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: CM: Not as at present.  Why?
CM_Durron says:
#::keeps firing down the  hall:: Self: Blast ::launches two grenades down the hall, grabs the unconscious DCO by her back and heads for the AS's location firing into the corridor:: *AS*: I'm on my way

ACTION - The outer hull of the lead Alliance ship begins to glow as it explodes, it's hull being torn apart as the explosive force destroys the outer hull...the shockwave is minimal compared to the size of the capital ship, and does little damage to the Aventura's shields.

CM_Durron says:
#COM: Aventura: We have injured.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: The lead ship's exploded... obviously.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::gets behind cover as suppressing fire comes his way, thinking these guards are a little smarter than the average Jem'Hadar::
Host Daryina_Xia says:
:: looks up and immediately notices Marla:: Enki: So you've finally come... Welcome home, mother...
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: CM: Acknowledged, Commander, we're on our way.  CP: Move us into transporter rang eof both teams.  XO: Inform the alliance we have to recover our teams.  Looks they've got mopping-up operations left.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::turns the ship for the planet and makes best speed... which is very fast.::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Enki: I asked for a report, Commander.
CM_Durron says:
#::arrives at the end of the corridor:: COM: Aventura: Transport Commander Gomes when you are in range.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::sends a message to the rebel ships about the Aventura's departure:: CO: Done.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#Self: Enough of this... ::hears the heavy gunner laughing as he draws closer:: That's it, a little closer.... ::grabs the photon grenade and set it to 3 seconds::
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Smiles lightly::  Xia: My daughter.  ::Pulls her weapon, and pushes the confused SO and IO onto the ground::  SO/IO: Move, and I kill you.

ACTION - Andrews and Jackson fall to the ground, stunned...they notice the woman on the bio bed...it's Marla Enki, or someone who looks exactly like her.

CM_Durron says:
#::waits a moment and sends grenade number five down the corridor::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::releases the pin trigger and throws it around the corner into the corridor:: Aloud: Photon out!
CM_Durron says:
#::Turns, than hears the AS's call and steps back::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: CM: Who do we need to beam up?
Host Daryina_Xia says:
Enki: Only you would have known how to breach the dimensional barrier. I was wondering when you would return home...
CM_Durron says:
#COM: Aventura: Gomes, get her up now,
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@COM: CO: Commander.
CM_Durron says:
#::checks the power pack, pulls the nearly empty one and slaps a new one home than turns, jogs and arrives at the AS's location::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Beam Gomes directly to sickbay.  *Med*: You have wounded incoming.

ACTION - The photon grenade detonates and Kizlev's opposition is destroyed...completely...

AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#::feels the floor plating rock with the antimatter blast and a guard's body flies forward, landing right next to him, then steps out of cover lays down some of his own suppressing fire as he moves to the power station::
Med_Eagles says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. ::starts getting ready for the patient::
CM_Durron says:
#::steps out beside the AS looking for targets:: AS: Let’s go.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Gets worried about team one:: COM: Enki: What is the status of your team?
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
::nods, and locks onto the DCO's signal:: CO: Energizing...
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Smiles::  COM: CO: Compromised.  From the inside, it would seem.  Someone knew too much, slipped under the radar...

ACTION - Andrews goes to speak and before he can say anything, Xia is there beside him with a knife at his throat...

ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light the dazed and half conscious Commander Gomes is returned to the U.S.S. Aventura...safely in sickbay.

CM_Durron says:
#::runs for the facility's power generator::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#CM: Cover me... ::goes to the power plant and sets the charge in the optimal blast spot according to the specs::
Med_Eagles says:
::reassures Gomes as she appears and sedates her, getting ready to fix her broken jaw and other injuries::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Cuts the comm channel:: XO: Scan the location of Team one.
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Standard orbit, sir?
CM_Durron says:
#::turns with his back to the AS's and watches for hostiles:: AS: hurry up.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
CP: Yes.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Pulls her commbadge off, throws it on the biobed::
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: Aye, sir. What are we looking for, sir?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::nods and takes up a geosynchronous orbit over the base::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: While you’re at it, pull Team Two out.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#CM: That's it. Demo is set! ::moves out to get as far away as possible::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
COM: Team one: Stand by for transport.
CM_Durron says:
#::follows the AS::AS: Detonate ASAP, make for the labs, now.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: I want the identities of everyone there.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: Alright. Doing so. ::locks onto the second team and beams them up:: Scans complete... they're in some sort of vast facility, about 300 or so people around... there's Enki, Andrews, Jackson... and Xia as well.
CM_Durron says:
COM: Aventura: Has team one been successful?
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Grabs Jackson by the chin and looks into his eyes::  SO: Tell your Commander that he is a fool, just like everyone else in your Starfleet.  We are everywhere, and nowhere - you will never find us, and never stop us.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
#Self: 10 meters....5 meters.... ::gets behind cover:: Aloud: Time! ::hits the blast trigger::
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Lock onto those four people.  Beam them directly to separate cells in the brig.  Maximum force fields around them.
CM_Durron says:
#::dives behind the AS::

ACTION - As the power planet detonates, the lights in the lab flicker and die. Marla Enki begins to stir on the bio bed...and back-up power is restored. Durron and Kizlev find themselves not amongst the rubble of the power plant, but in the transporter room of the Aventura...

CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Make sure you lock onto people, not commbadges - one of them has undoubtedly removed his or her commbadge.
CM_Durron says:
::looks around and swears:: AS: And I was just having fun.
XO_LtCmdr_Ilianor says:
CO: I'll definitely try, though that is easier said than done. Locking on... energizing.
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
XO: Just do your best.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Lets go and stands::
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::was reaching for his twin disrupters, but sighs as he finds himself on the Aventura:: CM: Too much fun. I never saw a medic do more shooting in my life. ::grins::

ACTION - As the transporter begins to lock onto the team, Daryina Xia curses. She rushes over to her mother and grabs hold of her... an implant in her body activates, preventing the beam out. The battered and terribly unclothed patient Enki, Jackson and Andrews arrive aboard the Aventura...

CM_Durron says:
::stands up in the transporter room than steps off the PADD:: *CO* What is the status of the other team?
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*CM*: They’re back aboard, and in the brig.  One of them betrayed us.
AS_Lt_Kizlev says:
::stands to his feet and gladly removes his helm, flexing his antennae as they are free from the tight headspace::
CM_Durron says:
::swears quietly:: *CO* Which one?
CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
*CM*: We're not sure yet.  My guess would be Enki.
LtCmdr_Marla_Enki says:
@::Sighs softly as her daughter holds her.  She quietly mumbles the word "Durron..."::
CM_Durron says:
::takes the helmet off and knows the answer than says quietly:: *CO* Where is she?
CP_LtCmdr_Roznine says:
::sighs at the words:: Self: Just great.

ACTION - As the Aventura sits in orbit of Mizani Prime they hear a voice over their communications system: "I am sorry that I've had to leave you Commander Lessing, but unfortunately I have found my true calling here. You see, Project Scion needs me...and the information I have learned about Starfleet. Don't worry...I'm sure we'll each other very soon..."

CO_LtCmdr_Lessing says:
::Negligently:: XO: Target all weapons on that base.  Fire at will.
