RES TALON MISSION BRIEFING 51608.25 - Season 21

The Talon is moving to join the rest of the fleet and press our attack against chRihan's main orbital station. It is well fortified, heavily armored and has a large amount of weapons power. In a secondary attack that we hope to draw attention away from, our RAC teams have moved to take back the orbital platform that has been taken by the Othan, as well as gain access to 3 additional ones and hold them from our enemies.

ACTION: The RAC team has departed the ship and is making its way towards the captured platform

 

KhreRiovtRex -> RAC team please use @

NDak -> ::On the Oira, looking at a tactical display of the RAC'S moving off::

Lerak trPexil -> (Was I on that team?)

Koga S'Bien -> @ ::piloting one of the RACs::

@ tr'Shalor> +Rac2 to Rac 1 and 3+ Let's take 2 ships to retake this one, and send tA's ship to download that program into one of the others before they get into it

KhreRiovtRex -> (Koga, trShalor, tA were the RAC teams)

Koga S'Bien -> +tr'Shalor+ Acknowledged.

Lerak trPexil -> :: Working on getting the Talon in the best patched up shape he and his team can. Were they really his team though? Some faces were the same, some were not ::

 

@ tr'Shalor> +Koga+ We know they've taken it, but don't know if they've gotten control of all the weapons yet. if so, we will have difficulty getting close, otherwise if we can get in close and tight, either above or below it may be our best chance or staying out of their line of fire

Laehval tTemarr -> ::On the bridge, Laehval checked the torpedo tube status and armed the first round of modified probes that would cause a diversion.::

Lerak trPexil -> :: He stood now shoring up the very spot he was outside of only some time ago ::

KhreRiovtRex -> N'Dak, if au would move Talon to lead the fleet on assaulting the Galae Station fhaen? We need to keep attention away from the platforms, and assist our teams with taking out some of the weapons arrays on that station...

NDak -> ::Nods:: Helm move us to the lead position. All hands to battle stations.

KhreRiovtRex -> yet, the difficult part, or ...not damaging it too badly, as we will likely need to use it ourselves in short order if we do take it back

Koga S'Bien -> @+tr'Shalor+ All right, let's do it.

NDak -> ::Nods:: Ie, agreed.

Lerak trPexil -> :: He himself worked a bulkhead fusing device before closing off the section to crew ::

KhreRiovtRex -> ::nods:: I will leave the attack hrrau au hands, while I monitor the fleet....

KhreRiovtRex -> :: feels awkward na commanding her own ship, but it is what must be::

NDak -> Helm> ::Moves Talon into position at the head of the loyalist fleet::

Koga S'Bien -> @ ::moves in closer and stealthily towards their target::

Lerak trPexil -> Alright, :: he said to the engineers behind him :: I'm done here, let's get out of here and seal it up..

@tr'Shalor> Koga, have you determined our best route in? Any way we can avoid their notice? :: knowing it not likely as the reason the platforms were spaced the way they were, was to give them a clear open view::

 

NDak -> Laehval, take the tactical station.

Laehval tTemarr -> I have it slaved to engineering. Probes are ready to launch.

@ tr'Shalor> ::motions for his pilot to follow Koga's lead

NDak -> ::Nods, always impressed with Laehval even if he wouldn't say it.::

NDak -> Let's give them something to shoot at, ie?

Koga S'Bien -> @+tr'Shalor+ ::Checks his sensors:: Ie, I have. There’s quite a lot of asteroids and other spacial debris to maneuver through, but it's the best route to avoid detection due to all the debris in the area. I'll forward it to au now. ::Does so::

Lerak trPexil -> :: Makes his way back to the main engineering room ::

NDak -> Helm, attack pattern Keta Four...Nine. Make a good show of getting their attention before breaking off. Keep our bow on them, we don't want to expose the stern.

Koga S'Bien -> @ ::plots the co-ordinates into his nav-computer and heads down that route::

NDak -> Helm> ::Nods, punching in the commands as ordered and beginning their run.::

tr’Shalor -> @ +Koga+ Check your sensors...that is a disguised mine field, hoping to draw the unwary in. the Khre'Riov alerted it to me, we'll need to make a bit more circuitous route...you can still follow the borders of it, just do na stray into it far

NDak -> Launch decoys.

 

Lerak trPexil -> :: Siting at the main engineering console. Watches the decoys release::

Koga S'Bien -> @+tr'Shalor?+ Thanks for the heads up. ::maneuvers around the minefield, intensifying sensors and IDs the mines::

KhreRiovtRex -> # Othan/TS Command Ops> Rekkhai, we are picking up several of the dissident fleet beginning to gather their forces and making direction towards us from 3 separate directions

Laehval tTemarr -> Decoys away. ::She launched them into space where their programming took hold and they sped away in different directions to broadcast false signals. She sent a message to engineering to inform them so they could monitor and/or change the program as needed.::

#O/TS Ennarain> Coordinates on main viewer....how many ships? Show me anything of notable fire power or class

NDak -> Helm> ::Brings the Talon about and in attack formation::

#O/TS Ops> I am picking up about 17 ships, 3 of which are of notable size and firepower....

NDak -> Target their defensive systems. Fire at will.

Lerak trPexil -> +Laehval+ Reading probe telemetry.

 

KhreRiovtRex -> 2 from the former Tal Shiar fleet, several small fighters that accompany them, as well as a few smaller craft

# O/TS Ops> The thirs ship is.....fvaht....it's the Talon. They have greatly upgraded the shielding and weapons on that ship, they will be the ones to be wary of.

#O/TS Ennarain> Activate defensive shielding h'nah!

Lerak trPexil -> :: He could actually alter the probes if he needed ::

Laehval tTemarr -> +Lerak+ Ie, they seem to be working as programmed.

@ tr'Shalor> +Koga+ There is only io airlock. do au wish to attempt to dock and we beam, or vice versa?

NDak -> Helm> ::Bringing Talon and two escorts into firing position, as the Enarrain had ordered. He was taking care to keep the beak of the warbird on the station, weary of exposing the damaged underbelly:

#O/TS Ops> :: mumbles about the approaching ships being good, already noting countermeasures being deployed which will affect his shots:: curses some more::

Koga S'Bien -> @ ::Gets closer to the ship:: It might be better to beam in, I think. Docking may take too much time and increase our chances of being detected.

Koga S'Bien -> +tr'Shalor+ ^

 

ACTION> Lerak's modified probes began transmitting on schedule, beefing up their fleet and adding in several false readings of ships for the station to target. The Talon's sensors were fooled, as well, but the signals had all been marked for Ops so they wouldn't be confused with actual ships.

 

Tr’Shalor-> @+Koga+ Do you read their shields up?

Koga S'Bien -> @+tr'Shalor+ ::Checks:: Ie, I do unfortunately. Though, I suppose it would make sense for them to keep them up in this area of space.

NDak -> ::Gklances to Laehval:: Mehnnka work, rhae the probes. Target their shield generators with forward weapons as we come into range. Helm will give you several straight on shots we break for another run.

#O/TS Ops> :: turns quickly to the man behind him:: Rekkhai....I don't know how, but...there are more ships than we originally picked up

NDak -> Helm> Entering firing range of forward disruptors.

# O/TS Ops> :: having difficulty locking on phasers::

#O/TS Ennarain> ::: Use a wide spread pattern of the ie'yakk banks, try to hit what au can

NDak -> Helm> ::Increasing speed for the attack run::

@ tr'Shalor> Ok Koga, we'll have to do this the hard way. I'll latch to the docking port and try to blow the door and drop their shielding long enough for you to beam in...good luck!

Koga S'Bien -> @+Tr'Shalor+ Understood. I''ll be ready.

 

ACTION:: THE STATION BEGINS RANDOMLY FIRING TOWARDS THE INCOMING FLEET, MOST OF THE SHOTS GOING ASTRAY , MISSING THE MARK OR SEEMNGLY PASSING THROUGH THE TARGET

 

Lerak trPexil -> :: Watching and pressing indicators ::

NDak -> ::Smirks, despite the seriousness of the situation as he watches the station fall for their deception::

#O/TS Enarrain> Veruul, I said to target their lead ships, na miss virtually everything au aimed at. Get it right or I'll shoot au myself

NDak -> Fire.

Laehval tTemarr -> ::As an engineer, she knew the tactical controls and systems intimately, as she did all others on the ship, but that didn't equate to expertise at actually running the station in a time of crisis. N'Dak would have been far better at tactical procedure, and admitting as much, even to herself, irked her. So she buckled down and did the best she could, firing as soon as targets were presented to her, letting the computer calculate the precise moment to strike.::

 

ACTION> Talon opens with a volley from their primary disruptor banks as they come into firing range of the station. The two escorts flanking her do so as well.

 

@ ACTION: ORBITAL PLATFORM #4, STARTS TO ROTATE A FEW OF IT'S WEAPONS TOWARS kOGA, BUT BY THE TIME THEY ACTUALLY GET THEM MOVED, HE HAS lost visual on his target

 

ACTION: #O/TS STATION FEELS THE IMPACT OF THE WEAPONS FIRE AGAINST IT'S SHEILDING AS THE STATION SHAKES FROM THE ASSUALT

 

OTS Etrehh> Station Shielding holding steady at 93%

Koga S'Bien -> @::gets into position::

NDak -> Bring us around wide for another pass. Give them just enough time to train their weapons on us, but keep our speed up. With any luck they'll not be able to target us with all the interference, but better us than the RACs.

NDak -> Helm> ::Nods, and breaks the Talon off her attack run at a rather steep bank, turning her dorsal side towards the station::

@tr'Shalor> :: has the pilot line up with the doorway, and donned a simple eva suit in case the seal is broken before they gain access: picks up the device he plans to blow the bulwark with

Laehval tTemarr -> +Lerak+ We're flying into the thick of it. How are the bulkheads holding up near the breach?

Laehval tTemarr -> ::Laehval selected the next round of targets and fired as soon as they were within range. A pity for them that they were trying not to damage the station too badly.::

Lerak trPexil -> +Laehval+ So far the sensors are telling me things are holding. I don't know if they will attempt to repeatedly hit us there, so I will watch.

 

NDak -> ACTION> Talon banks off hard from its attack run, straining the IDFs, while firing off several shots from her secondary weapons banks.

 

@ tr'Shalor> places the device against the airlock door and activates it, causing the power surge to affect the door's locking mechanisms if it works correctly

Koga S'Bien -> @::Monitors tr'Shalor's progress::

Lerak trPexil -> :: Lerak sits deep within the belly of the Talon, so the fight seems farther away. But the indicators told otherwise ::

@tr'Shalor> +Koga+ Stand by for my signal. Have au weapons ready, I have na idea if this will work as planned...

Koga S'Bien -> @+tr'Shalor+ Understood.

 

@ACTION: trShalor activates the locking charges against the doorway; shielding drops

 

NDak -> ::Keeping an eye on the RAC's::

KhreRiovtRex -> +tr'Shalor+ Now....::activates shields to protect us from weapons fire while we keep their attention on Koga

 

NDak -> ACTION> Talon swings wide, slowing as she comes about to try and intentionally draw the fire of the station.

 

2016-08-26 00:01:19 Lerak trPexil -> :: Another display showed each probe's status, though they were not as important as the Talon ::

# O/TS STATION Ops> Rekkhai, we were able to land some hits on a few of the smaller ships and have disabled 3 of them. We were able to make 2 strong hits on io of the Tal Shiar vessels, however, we do na appear to have damaged the Talon or even have hit it

@ trShalor+Koga+ Hnah! Hteij h'nah!

Koga S'Bien -> @+tr'Shalor+ 10-4. ::beams aboard::

Lerak trPexil -> :: pauised ::

KhreRiovtRex -> Thanks all...I know it's tough to play when there are so few, and I was afraid some of au might be dozing off (having same issue tonight!)

NDak -> I've been re-reading the Aubrey/Mautrin series.

NDak -> so this has been fun!

KhreRiovtRex -> That’s awesome N’Dak! Good stuff!

KhreRiovtRex -> Well done, we're attacking both the station and platforms, so great progress today, hopefully nobody will die

KhreRiovtRex -> (I think things may be slightly in our favor on that)

KhreRiovtRex -> lol

Koga S'Bien -> :D

NDak -> Well nobody we care about anyway.

KhreRiovtRex -> any questions?

KhreRiovtRex -> rofl NDak!

NDak -> I am fine with some Othan veruul biting it.

Lerak trPexil -> Ah, my java window is having trouble again

Koga S'Bien -> ooo

KhreRiovtRex -> bummer, hopefully we'll all have it worked out and patched by next week. I had a lot of trouble this past Monday, oo know how you are feeling

KhreRiovtRex -> Laeh, you have anything?

Laehval tTemarr -> I will not be at the sim next week. I will be burning myself to a crisp on some beach in Florida. (And hopefully not getting Zika.)

Koga S'Bien -> As opposed to burning to a crisp in AZ?

KhreRiovtRex -> Thanks for the heads up, and hope you have a great vacation.

Laehval tTemarr -> In AZ, you don't go outside when the sun is out.

Laehval tTemarr -> :D

Koga S'Bien -> Yes, have a good time

KhreRiovtRex -> rofl Koga, she lives ON the sun

Koga S'Bien -> lol

Laehval tTemarr -> It’s like that scene from Terminator when everything burst into flames.

KhreRiovtRex -> Thanks again NDak, we appreciate your time with us here as well

Lerak trPexil -> Can I keep the cardboard Laehval?

Laehval tTemarr -> No drooling on it, Lerak.

NDak -> Loving it :D

KhreRiovtRex -> Ok, we'll see where we are next week, if we have enough heading into a holiday weekend, and decide that night if we can play.

Koga S'Bien -> Though it was hotter in Toronto in July than it was in Phoenix

KhreRiovtRex -> Ok, everyone, have a great weekend and we will see most of you next week.

Koga S'Bien -> Ot ar least a day or so

KhreRiovtRex -> Crew Dismissed and good night. Thanks again for coming everyone!

Koga S'Bien -> Goodnight!

Laehval tTemarr -> Night, all.
