RES Talon Mission Briefing 51403.06 - Season 19 As the Talon and Stinger make their way across the Jubel system directly towards chRihan, word has gone out to any Othan ships to be on the watch for those two ships, as well as for Firehawk and Stonereaver. Knowing how their cloaks work, the Othan have been setting up a detection grid and hope that their prey has not yet escaped from their the space that they control and seek to expand.

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::having opted to take a walk, trying to clear her mind as she had been chewing on their current predicament for too many hours at a stretch... is wandering the corridors, watching where she's going, but her mind is obviously still engaged in trying to solve the problem at hand, somewhat re-energized by the change in scenery::

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @::Piloting the Stinger::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Any news on the sensors, t'Aehjae?

tAehjae -> Talon: @ not as of .... ::stops mid sentence ::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Na nathing Rekkhai

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Any other bells and whistles that you've found on this lovely? ::glances from Koga to t'Aehjae::

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ Oh yes, I'm still getting accustomed to all of this ship's features, but I am familiarising myself

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> There seems to be alot of communicatons traffic hrrau ths sector. na just from the main colonies and planetary bodies, also heavy traffic along their shipping rountes

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: ::Reading through the latest reports, she glanced up to Notas.:: That is na good for us. Chatter likely means word has spread and rumors are beginning to fly. Inform the Stinger to be overly cautious. I

tAehjae -> Talon: @ This vessel has a lot of interesting things about it.

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: have na doubt that the Othans will be searching for us soon, if they are na already.

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ :: down in engineering, working on the cloak ::

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> ::reaches over to hit the com:: +Com+ Stinger, this is Talon.....the Enarrain has requested that due to the increased communications chatter, that it is most likely that the Othan's have spread word of our intended course of action, and she warns that au should be overly vigilant

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::her mind begins to wander slightly, however, recalling the last time she met the Lloann'na ambassador...::

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::lips pursed as she rounds a corner, considering meeting him again::

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ Hmm. Not surprising there

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @If this is truely a state of the art ship, then there should be some sort of technological advances, ie?

tAehjae -> Talon: @Incoming message from Talon.

tAehjae -> Talon: @:: turned on for Ksa to hear::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ ::watches her sensors::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Have we had much communication with Talon lately?

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: (Sorry - internet crapped out there)

 

ACTION::: Suddenly, Talon's sesnors light up and the klaxon sounds Condition Red...

 

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::swallows the knot rising in her throat::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ That was the only oi lately

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::even as the klaxxon goes off, snapping her from her thoughts::

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Rekkhai........Increased tachyon readings, all around us.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ picking up Tachyon emmission Rekkhai

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Looks like we've flown right into io of thier sensor nets.....

tAehjae -> Talon: @More than noted a few moments ago

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Drop cloak and raise shields before they target us for sure?

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: ::She swore beneath her breath.:: Ie. Ready shields and weapons. They can't be far away.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Raise shields Rekkhai?

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: # Othan cruiser 1> Rekkhai....we have something....Coordinates 344.2 by 132.......correction....picking up two readings.....

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Ie Rekkhai.....charging sheilds and weapons. Preparing to drop cloak on au orders

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @::frowns, thinking a moment:: Ie. And open an channel to Talon. Use io of the shipping lane chatter ios. Maybe we can disguise ourselves as something other than we are.

tAehjae -> Talon: @Ie rekkhai

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: # Othan Cruiser 1> Ie.....message the fleet......close in on those coordinates. Nothing is to remain when we are finished....

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ :: moves from his position on the floor to the end console ::

tAehjae -> Talon: @:: Raises sheilds and opens a channel to Talon as ordered::

tAehjae -> Talon: @Channel Open

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: # Othan Cruiser 1> +Com+ Grid fleet.....close in on target.........begin flanking manuevers to prevent any escape....

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Rekkhai...we're being hailed by the Stinger....

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: (Sorry - slow connection)

 

ACTION: # Othan cruisers 2-6 acknowledge the order.......

 

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: +Talon+ Stinger to Talon. Enarrain are you picking up these strange readings? We're not headed into another plasma storm again are we?

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (You need to get a better squirrel)

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: (saving up for a new chipmunk!)

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (fancy)

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: ( I shall call him Alvin!)

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Enarrain....the Daise Maenak rhae the com channel for au.....

Koga S'Bien -> Talon:monitors cloak readings::

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: +Stinger+ Na, we have been detected. The tachyon readings indicate a net. Othan ship is heading directly for us. Na use in cloaking now. They have likely already spotted us. Prepare for battle in any manner au can, but let the Talon take the brunt of the attacks.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ :: readies weapons ::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: ::well, so much for that idea::

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: ACTION> # 3 unmarked ships uncloak just outside of weapons range and start to close upon the Talon and Stinger

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: +Talon+ Understood.

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: Raise sheilds. Ready weapons. Warning Engineering.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Weapons and Sheilds ready Rekkhai, ready to fire upon au orders.....

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: And au better have made auselves profiecent in the weapons and propulsion systems of this ship because it looks like we'll be testing them out.

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ We should employ the strategy the original Stinger crew used on us; a few quick shots and hide in some cover.

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::heading back to sciences, figures she might be able to tap into the sensor feeds there::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Sheilds up weapons and targetting ready rekkhai.

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::and get a better read of their situation::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Actually, I think we should do something contrary to what they expect us to do.

tAehjae -> Talon: @+Pexil+ Pexil Be ready for battle. We have been detected.

tAehjae -> Talon: @Au plan Rekkhai?

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ Oh? :: curious::

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: As soon as the ship is within range, confirm they are Othan and target them.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: # Othan cruiser 3> :: fires upon the Talon

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: # Othan cruiser 4> :: flanks around the other side of the Talon and fires as well.

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::crossing quickly to a console, shooing aside a junior officer as she flops into the chair they just vacated and pulls up the current sensor logs and directional readings::

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: # Othan Cruiser 5> :: bypasses Talon and heads for Stinger, firing torpedos

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: Protect the Stinger whenever possible. Return fire!

 

ACTION: Both shots hit the Talon, shields holding

 

tAehjae -> Talon: @ :: notes sensors:: We have company rekkhai Incoming

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ :: comma :: +t'Ksa+ We are at the ready.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Ie Rekkhai.....Returning Fire, trying to move between the cruisers and Stinger.....

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::muttering a few choice words under her breath about all that gorgeous technology wasted on...::

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::the rest of her sentence is lost as the ship takes the hits, and she taps a few commands into the station::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Rekkhai 2 vessles on the Talon oi heading towards us,

 

ACTION: Cruiser 5 swings towards the Stinger, and gets in a critical shot, rocking Stinger hard, shields drop to 76%

 

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Target the cruisers where you can.

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::tries to evade the cruisers as best as possible::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ IE!! ::: rocks with the hit and returns fire on Crusier 5:::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @+Pexil+Etre Pexil. I'm hoping au are keeping up with all this.

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ :: sparks fly across engineering. A coolant leak starts, but is contained ::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Sheilds to 76%

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> ::firing weapons:: Cruiser hit..I think we've damaged their sheilds Rekkhai

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: Continue firing. Target their weapons systems. ::Pushing up from her chair, she moved quickly to the engineering console.::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ ::takes another shot at one of the cruisers that pass between them and the Talon::

 

ACTION: 2 Ships swing around at Talon again, the first having to break off due to the huge D'deridex's range and noting it's armor isn't taking as hard of a hit as they had expected......

 

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ +oria+ Just enjoying the light show. :: indistinct sound o er the comm ::

 

ACTION: # Cruisers......try to knock out Talon's power and weapons, try to separate those 2 ships.....

 

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: ::Rerouting power to shields to where its needed::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Reroute what au can from auxillary systems. ::mutters:: Where's a freeze ray when au need io.

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::nods, rerouting what he can. Maintaining a close distance to the Talon::

 

# ACTION:: Othan Cruiser 1> Orders cruisers 2 and 6 into the fray as well. :+com+ I want those ships destoryed......and I'm tired of sitting out here. Finish this!

ACTION: STINGER SCORES A SOLID SHOT ON SHIP 5, CAUSING IT TO VEER OFF MOMENTARILY

 

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: HOWEVER, 2 OTHER SHIPS ARE NO CONVERGING......

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: iNOW, NOT NO)

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::pulling up scans on the Othan ships, doing a quick work-over of their current configurations::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ :: continues taking shots when she has a good line::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @I don't suppose there is a new sort of weapon in that arsenal of aus?

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Rekkhai, I'm picking up another signal.....Galae coded........ I'm not familiar with this........possibly a ruse to distract us?:

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Na that I have found... ::looks to Koga::

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::shrugs:: I wish. I hadn't found anything either in that respect.

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: ((No imagination?))

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ (PHOTONIC HYPER DEATH BEAM CANNON!)

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::turns her attention to the next screen over, and notes the comm chatter::

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::furrowing her brow as she looks at the encryption headers::

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: Stay close to the Stinger! ::Diverting power from non-essential systems, she boosted their phasers and took a quick glance at the Stinger's readings.:: If it is Galae coded, then... ::She sent out a quick burst message to the incoming ship with a coded message requesting assistance.::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: ((we're in a state of the art ship, there should be some state of the art weapons))

tAehjae -> Talon: (( <bad rhian ))

ACTION> Talon takes 3 solid shots, 2 to port, one aft..... Port shields down to 67%, Aft sheilds down to 83%

 

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::rolls her chair over to the next console and pulls up the message::

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (yep...they just have to figure them out)

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: I'll keep checking.. au should too t'A. Au are the tactical officer.

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::recognizing the encryption header as belonging to her sponsor's ship::

 

ACTION: Koga hits something, and the ship does some sort of gyro spinning shot (see death blossom - last star fighter!)

 

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (but not quite that good)

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ :: lighting is low in the Stinger engineering room ::

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: Oooh!

 

ACTION: Stinger cripples one of the Cruisers

 

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @What was that? ::raises a brow::

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: Found it. Now we're cooking.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Koga repeat that. Au hit oi of the cruisers

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: Tr'Notas> Rekkhai...we have 3 ships coming in at us in formation......launching torpedo spread?

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (that weapon will take 3 minutes to recharge)

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ It's a high energy beam of some sort - no luck. It needs to recharge.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (you have 2:17 left)

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::looks at the counter:: We get one shot every 3 minutes.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Reikkhai......fire or evasives?

tAehjae -> Talon: @ :: continues the firing of her weapons until the recharge is complete::

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::nods, reading the message, and sees a response sent from Talon::

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: Continue firing and protect that ship. ::Still peering at her console, watching for the incoming vessel.::

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::mutters:: That had better be a fast two minutes...

tAehjae -> Talon: @ More incoming vessels

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ :: orders his engineers to protect that recharge cycle ::

 

ACTION:: AS THE THREE CRUISERS CONVERGE ON THE TALON, ANOTHER GALAE SHIP DECLOAKS, AND FIRES A FULL SPREAD INTO THE AFT SECTIONS OF 2 OF THE CRUISERS, DESTROYING IO AND HEAVILY DAMAGING THE OTHER

 

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @How many of them are out there? And what rock are they crawling out from under?

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (7 CRUISERS - 1 DESTROYED, 2 DISABLED, 3... STILL INTACT)

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ Recharge cycle almost complete.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (AND ONE DAMAGED)

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::begins targetting other cruisers::

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: +com+ Talon, this is Terronix replying to au request for assistance.....

tAehjae -> Talon: @Unknown where from Rekkhai but a Galae ship has joined in They just destoyed oi of them

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: (recharge is ready)

tAehjae -> Talon: @ 6 cruisers left.

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::Targets two cruisers in close proximity, hoping to hit two birds with one stone::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Koga use caution when Au fire again na to hit the Galae

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ie ie.. that would be bad.

 

ACTION: Cruiser turns again on Stinger and fires..... Shields drop to 42%

 

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::makes sure they're well awau from the Galae ship and fires::

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ Argh.

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: +Terronix+ Au are very welcome. The smaller ship is with us. Target the rest. :Leans forward, glancing up to tr'Notas.:: Take evasives. Minimize our damage while protecting the Stinger. Continue to target their weapons systems. I'm sending au precise coordinates based on the design of those ships.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Rekkhai, moving to protect Stinger...

tAehjae -> Talon: @:: rocks but hangs on;:: Shields down to 42% Now would be good Koga

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ Already fired. Let's see if it hits its mark

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: ACTION> Stinger takes out another one of the cruisers.... and damages the second. Talon hits another as does Terronix....causing another to blow.

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @+tr'Pexil+ We're losing sheilds here.

tAehjae -> Talon: @+Pexil+ Pexil aus help to keep the shields up?

 

ACTION> 4 SHIPS DESTROYED, 1 DISABLED, 1 DAMAGED....1 RUNNING AWAY.....

 

Talon: +Talon+ Well fought..I see au new sheilding held up quite well......and that other ship au have...it packs some firepower I see.....

tAehjae -> Talon: @ 4 destroyed Rekkhai oi disabled oi damaged, oi running

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: tr'Notas> Rekkhai, should we pursue? ::watching as the damaged ship and the running io both cloak::

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::tapping into the tachyon net that the Othans established::

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::and using it to track their own ships::

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ +oria+ We are doing all we can. Try na to get hit.

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::sending coordinates to tactical on the oira::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Io running?

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::and to the Stinger, depending on who has the clear shot::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Ie Oi running the other is slow enough to catch as it has sustained much damage..

ACTION: TERRONIX SWINGS BACK TOWARD THE TALON AND STINGER....... +TALON+ Are au damaged or are au able to proceed towards homeworld?

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Do au have a clear path for io last torpedo shot?

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ Can au take it out?

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Ie I have a shot,

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::sends identification information to the Terronix for contacts to... ahem... take care of the ship that got away::

tAehjae -> Talon: @:: fires a torpedo at the running vessel::

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Well, we can't have it run back home to mummy, can we? ::nods:: fire at will. Let's hope au make au mark.

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::again, reroutes power where he can to boost strength to the Stinger's shields::

 

ACTION> STingers torpedo hits the damaged ship destroying it. The other ship, is farther off

 

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Menkha, t'Aehjae.

EvietMahren -> Talon: ::a cold glare skittering across her features before it is replaced with something more neutral::

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: Na, do na pursue them. +Terronix+ Our damage is minimal, but we need to confer with our other ship.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ IE! The other is out of torpedo range.. perhaps Kogas weapon?

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: +com+ Talon, it is na in our interest at this time to chase that one ship down, it could lead us into another set of ships that we do na know about. If au ships are able, we will escort au back to chRihan...

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::Shakes head:: Still rechargind. ANother 1:45

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Doubtful at this range too.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: +com+ Talon... :: Forward viewscreen activates:: Sitting in the center seat is t'Rexan:: There is much.....that we need to confer upon......

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Since it is damanged, it will be hampered in it's travels which will slow it down. That's the best we can hope for.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ ie rekkhai

Koga S'Bien -> Talon: @ ::nods:: At least we have one more ship on our side too.

tAehjae -> Talon: @Ie a Galae ship

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @+tr'Pexil+ The fire fight is over. Please keep me abreast of au's progress in repairs.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Lowering shield rekkhai to allow Pexil to work his magic?

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: +COM+ Ennarain t'Temarr...I wish to commend au at this time for a job well done. At this time, I will be turning the Terronix back over to it's Enarrain to escort us back to chRihan. I will be resuming command of the Talon, but what I need for au, is au specialty...I need to know everything there is about that special little ship au have captured. That is quite the feat and one that will gain au quite the reward once au have brought it to homeworld....

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @Let Etre Pexil dictate what we need to do.

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: ::Laehval strode forward toward the viewer, one brow upraised at the appearance of t'Rexan.:: Rekkhai, a pleasure to see au once again. tr'Notas, hail the Stinger and inform them of the situation.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: +com+ Galea will need to know everything this is to know about this rare material that hides these ships, as well.....as that weapon we just saw. I can think of na body better than au to dissect it's secrets.

tAehjae -> Talon: @ Ie Rekkhai +Pexil+ tA to Pexil Can au do aus work with the shields up? or do au need them lowered.

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @+t'ksa+ Repairs will take some time.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: +Talon+ Permission to beam over?

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ +t'a+ Down is preferred.

M_K_tKsa -> Talon: @+tr'Pexil+ All wounds need time to heal. Do the best au can, Etre tr'Pexil. And hann'yyo for keeping us alive.

Laehval tTemarr -> Talon: +Terronix+ She is your ship, Rekkhai. And au are welcome to her. ::Somewhat relieved to be able to focus on what she loved once again.::

tAehjae -> Talon: @ ::nods and lowers shields::

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: $ ::turns and nods to someone behind her and is beamed to the oira of the Talon::

Lerak trPexil -> Talon: @ +t'Ksa+ Never a doubt.

KhreRiovtRex -> Talon: ::beams aboard and turns to look for t’Temarr. Finding her, stops and clasps her hands behind her back:: Enarrain, job well done. I now resume command of the Talon. Hann'yyo.
