USS Republic Mission Briefing 51510.26:

When we last left off.....Wydown's team had launched a small probe to see if they could gather a bit more information around this base they had luckily/skillfully came upon, however as the remaining raiders had picked up the explosions set off by Will's team, the mines and other missing raider ships.........

 

They started to look around, and their sensors have picked up some sort of metallic reading. Eddie has been dispatched to investigate while Malcom directs the rest of his team to quickly gather anything worth anything, and get ready to run.

 

The Republic is making its way towards Wydown's team, however, there is one small obstacle......a very messy asteroid field, already known to contain mines.....

Rue Wydown -> ((Well, I was going to offer a bit of an edit, but we'll go with it))

STSF_BluRox -> (No no...go ahead, saw no answer so went...please do so)

Jas -> (We're # right?)

Rue Wydown -> ((The Wydown shuttle also launched a probe to try to distract the base... while they head the other direction))

Rue Wydown -> ((And yes, Jas.))

Jas -> # ::gesturing with one hand to the readings:: Well that's all good, but what do we do now?

STSF_BluRox -> (Yep, that was the metallic reading above :) )

STSF_BluRox -> Will...you got a moment to help with something?

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::still on the bridge:: Getting awfully close to that minefield.

Rue Wydown -> #We get the heck out of here and hope that that distraction will help us.

LtCmdrRobinson -> Yes boss?

STSF_BluRox -> I'm not all that happy about just flying into the rocky mess knowing there are mines....work with Ayumu...and I want you to blast ahead of us, anything that could potentially be a hidden danger.....sound like something you could handle for me?

 

Jas -> # ::opens mouth to speak, stops, frowns, opens mouth again:: Wonderful plan.

Rue Wydown -> #What? Did you have a different idea? ::smirks::

STSF_BluRox -> ::gestures to the weapons panel:: Anytime you are ready Commander

LtCmdrRobinson -> That shouldn't be a problem. Anything we miss, we can move with a transporter if it gets close. They used old mines, they dont have transporter countermeasures.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::nods:: Ready here..

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::scans the asteroid system::

Jas -> # Yeah, something to do with an overpowered, nonexistent teleportation device... ::sighs::

STSF_BluRox -> Ayumu.....I need you to find a path, that when he starts shooting, won’t get us pulverized with ricocheting rocky nuggets....

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::taps at the weapons panel:: Let me modify warheads a little.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Aye aye.. I'm plotting a course. ::checks sensors::

STSF_BluRox -> At your discretion Will....

Rue Wydown -> #Oh?

Rue Wydown -> #Please elaborate

 

STSF_BluRox -> August...could you dial up the forward and ventral shielding a bit please?

August Jax Robinson -> ::is at the Engineering console... wondering if Blu is OK.. cuz, mines::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Ready for a little vertical climb?

LtCmdrRobinson -> Ayumu, watch the obvious paths, that’s where most of the mines will be. Closer to asteroids means less mines.

August Jax Robinson -> Aye sir, moving up the dial ::taps console::

Ayumu Kasuga -> Alright. Ready to go in...

LtCmdrRobinson -> Clearing ahead now. ::taps and fires a few volleys::

Jas -> # ::to Ens Smith, happy for the quick distraction:: Yes please!

STSF_BluRox -> August, you'll have to stay on top of what they're doing, if we miss something that goes flying off in one direction, we dont' want to miss it hitting something else and coming back to clobber us from behind either...

STSF_BluRox -> ::moves to the center seat:: Clear us a path folks.....

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: As they come up on the high ridge Smith starts to pull the stick up, causing the shuttle to climb hard ::

STSF_BluRox -> Oh....just be sure that if we encounter the shuttle, that you don't blast it too....ok?

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > The dampeners can only do so much, so hold on...

STSF_BluRox -> (stick? WW2 shuttle?)

LtCmdrRobinson -> I promise I can tell the difference.

 

Jas -> # ::is pushed back hard into his seat:: Woooookay there..

STSF_BluRox -> Uh huh.....

Heather Jamieson -> (Ent-E got a stick ... :( )

Rue Wydown -> #Weeeeheee

Ayumu Kasuga -> (So did the Delta Flyer)

Jas -> (::slides down aviator goggles over eyes::)

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Another few seconds and then back to a level plain..

Heather Jamieson -> (or plane)

August Jax Robinson -> Engineering is ready

Jas -> (::makes obscene plane noises and runs around with arms outstretched::)

Jas -> # ::laughs nervously:: I sure hope so!

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: Smith levels off the shuttle and punches the speed ::

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::uses phasers on a few that are closer:: We are clear at this speed, no faster please.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::carefully maneuvers the ship through the asteroid field::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: The ice and snow is crisp and blows back as the shuttle skirts only meters above ::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Sensors? Any sign of being tailed?

STSF_BluRox -> (lol Jas)

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Jas, a bit nervous?

Rue Wydown -> #Well, this has been fun

Christina_Nickles -> (( dang never ending pasta bowl Guests come in at 945 and don’t leave until 11 ))

STSF_BluRox -> Well, we're not going to making a quiet entrance anymore. I'm sure that whoever you've not already stopped has seen us coming and will be long gone before we get there.....just as long as we reach that other team. That's more important at the moment.

Jas -> # ::glances over to Smith with a nervous, yet adrenaline-fueled, grin:: I think I'm good.

Jas -> # ::blinks after a moment:: Right. The, uh, sensors.. ::taps the screen a few times to bring them up::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > We have about two minutes until we can get off this thing..

STSF_BluRox -> (sounds like false advertising to me....you made it end at 11!!!)

31:38 Christina_Nickles -> (( LOL Nope thats when they left after getting to full to eat any more, We closed at 10))

Jas -> # ::while keeping his eyes on the screen, waiting for the sensor readings to come in:: Can't come soon enough.

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > We then need to get another few kilometers away so they don't see us ascend.

STSF_BluRox -> (still not never ending........)

August Jax Robinson -> ((People are so Rude))

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: The shuttle speeds along ::

 

ACTION> Republic is making a massive showing of fire power and plowing through the field, a path clearly being made towards where Wydown's signal came from

 

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Mr. Jas... I need those scans if you please.

August Jax Robinson -> (m) don't cratch the Hull

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::checks their surroundings and continues to move slowly around the minefield::

Jas -> # All clear from where I'm sitting, nothing unusual.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::made sure to modify the torpedoes for a more firework effect, because he likes to make it look good::

@ Eddie +Malcom+ I followed that reading...it was some sort of drone....leading off away from our base.....I think someone was trying to draw us away, they must be about to raid your position....you all need to get out of there now.... You want that I go track down whoever sent this boogie off in this direction, or head to the fallback site?

Heather Jamieson -> :: Meanwhile, Heather is making sure sensors are telling Ayumu where the mines are ::

Rue Wydown -> #Doing some right scary flying there, Mr Smith.

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > This is nothing Rue.. :: he was getting more comfortable flying and conversing ::

 

@ Malcom> +Eddie+ Pull back to the other site, there's something headed in, and I'd bet it was one of those big Feddie ships......we've grabbed what we can, will met you there in 2 days.... Malcom out

@ Malcom> :: looks around at the others carrying things to the ships:: Let's go you slugs.....we're about to get busted, grab one last load and it's time to go......make it snappy

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: He thought to not tell them exactly of the drop off ::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: Smiles :: Hold on...

Jas -> # ::looks over:: Hold on to --

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: He let the shuttle fall freely, maintaining it's profile with the fast-approaching ground ::

Christina_Nickles -> :: waiting with Will and the rest of the team :: Are we missing anything Commander??

Jas -> # ::mutters through gritted teeth:: I'm flying next time.

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: Alters the shields to let the air do the flying ::

Rue Wydown -> #::laughs loudly like she's on an amusement park roller coaster ride::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Cutting engines, shields only

@ Eddie scans for another ship before heading off, then dismisses it as just an asteroid due to it's irregular path

Jas -> # You -- you cut what?!

STSF_BluRox -> (dang, even these dice aren't working tonight)

Rue Wydown -> #::would throw her hands in the air, but that would be totally inappropriate.............right?::

STSF_BluRox -> (going upstairs for the good set, brb)

Ayumu Kasuga -> (lol)

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > We are high up Jas.. coasting towards the ground

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Adjusting shields, using thrusters to slow our decent... engine power up in twenty seconds..

Jas -> # I understand that, I just have a problem with flying straight towards the ground.. ::glances out the viewport::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > The shuttle could handle that...your stomach could not.

@ Raider Base> 2 of the 3 remaining ships take off and head off in a tangential course away from the incoming hullaballoo........

 

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::fires another round at the mines:: Fireworks incoming.

August Jax Robinson -> ::winces::

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::instinctively braces::

@ Malcom> Mumbling and angry that they are going to have to leave behind quite a bit of good loot that they'd collected over the last 2 years......

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Adjusts shields::

Jas -> # ::hands grip seat::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Starting up the engines..

Rue Wydown -> #Sometimes it's better to go with the flow.

@ Malcom> First that psycho and his mutants, then this.......what a waste of my time. That's what happen when you let other fools run things. I knew we should have knocked that guy off early,

STSF_BluRox -> but no....J'Rom just has to build up his mutant army, just had to have his "queen bee'........ I hope they shot him if they found him

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: The shuttle flies off, down in the valley once more..

August Jax Robinson -> let’s hope so

Jas -> # ::eyes Rue with an attempted nonchalant shrug:: I'm trying to get the hang of it..

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Any indication the Republic got our transmission?

Rue Wydown -> #Suuuure you are. :smirks::

 

ACTION: Long range sensors still set for ion trail emissions, has picked up several trails leading away towards the far side of the asteroid field

 

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: The shuttle now appeared to be running in the middle of a large creavas, the walls on each side some hundreds of meters away ::

Jas -> # I don't believe we've -- hey now, not so close to the cliff -- it doesn't seem we've received any confirmation back from the Republic yet.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Heather:: You picking up those ion trails on the other side the asteroid field? Hmm, let's see if we can ID those.

Heather Jamieson -> I see them Kasuga... attempting an ID..

August Jax Robinson -> ::glances at Will::

Rue Wydown -> #Okay, that's disappointing. Then again, if they don't want to alert anyone to their location, I can understand it.

STSF_BluRox -> If you can Ayumu and Heather, more importantly for the moment.....get us to their origin. However, keep their course plots handy, because we'll be going after them later once we see who or what we're up against

Ayumu Kasuga -> I'm attempting to trace the ion trails to determine their origins. ::does so::

STSF_BluRox -> Very good Ayumu.....

STSF_BluRox -> Will, how's our path going?

Jas -> # At least we're in the clear now, or further away from danger anyways.

STSF_BluRox -> August, have we incurred any damage from the explosions or bouncing boulders?

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Scanning the area of the ion trail going backwards...::

LtCmdrRobinson -> Going well, a few stragglers I have to cleanup with phasers.

August Jax Robinson -> So far no.. but the more we blow up the more stuff gets tossed around.

STSF_BluRox -> Please do so Will.....

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > These engines are going to need work... do we risk a transmission attempt?

 

ACTION: Between sensors and Ayumu....the Republic is approaching the system with the icy planet that Wydown's team was investigating

 

Rue Wydown -> #Are we enough away from base to risk it?

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: shrugs :: Plan is to bring the nose up and reach escape velocity in a few minutes.. but if they track us, we may only have a small window.

Ayumu Kasuga -> Hmm. Could be a chance they've originated here in this system ::scanning the system and any planets nearby::

Jas -> #A few minutes isn't that long, why not wait until we're out of the atmosphere?

 

ACTION: Sensors are indicating that this indeed was the system that the ion trails originated....

 

Rue Wydown -> #Because the raiders could escape in those few minutes.

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Ten seconds...

STSF_BluRox -> Ok, but if we've found where the raiders were........where is our shuttle team?

Rue Wydown -> #:: motions to Jas:: Send a quick message.

STSF_BluRox -> Full active scans....find them.

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Now! :: pulls up the shuttle nose with force ::

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > Thrusters at maximum.... send the transmission...

LtCmdrRobinson -> Perhaps those ships are going after our shuttle. Or bugging out of here. Not sure.

August Jax Robinson -> I am picking up the ion trial

Jas -> # Oh, alright.. +Republic+ Republic, this is Shuttle 1, we've located the raider stronghold and are currently exiting the atmosphere of our previous coordinates.

LtCmdrRobinson -> ::another round of explosions::

STSF_BluRox -> Wed need to find that out....now...

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: In the distance, if there was anyone, the shuttle looked like a rocket flying into space ::

Jas -> # ::muses:: Or are we Shuttle 2? Oh well.

Heather Jamieson -> # Ensign Smith > :: Keeping an eye on the aft sensor ::

 

ACTION: Republic is picking up a message from Wydown’s team

 

Ayumu Kasuga -> I got a message from the Shuttle.

Ayumu Kasuga -> ::Paused::

Jas -> ::paused::

Heather Jamieson -> :: Pause ::

Christina_Nickles -> ::paused::

STSF_BluRox -> Good job, you didn’t' even kill off any npc's! And we got both ships back...even if Will scratched his paint some....

August Jax Robinson -> ::paused::

STSF_BluRox -> Next week....we investigate the raider stronghold....

August Jax Robinson -> :(

STSF_BluRox -> its ok, he seems to know an engineer that will fix it and make it all better for him

Heather Jamieson -> And an engineering team examines Blu's set of dice..

Jas -> Hey, I'm liking our rolls so far. Heh.

Rue Wydown -> Heheh

STSF_BluRox -> Any questions or comments?

Jas -> Yeah - are we shuttle 1 or 2? xD

STSF_BluRox -> We'll pick up next week receiving that shuttle transmission...

STSF_BluRox -> and on that note, have a great week all.

STSF_BluRox -> Crew Dismissed. You guys are so awesome
