[5:45][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** STAR TREK: PILGRIM *
[5:45][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgaV7aTNvO4 *
[5:46][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** We open as the Pilgrim dives into the sunset orange hues of Sor’s Nebula, stirring up stellar dusts and gasses in majestic, roiling plumes that curl around her gleaming nacelles to see her fully..
[5:46][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:submerged. The plunge is a first for the Pilgrim but not for some of her crew, having traversed the great cosmic cloud once before in the pursuit of an end to the conflict with the Imperium. Now..
[5:46][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:they find themselves a few months later in the aftermath of that voyage, this time in a bid to save their friends from an unthinkable fate and avenge one already fallen for attempting to protect..
[5:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:the others from a sadistic madwoman. As we fade in we see our heroes returning to their posts after a mandated break period for some and a check-up on recently healed wounds for others. T’Pang..
[5:47][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:sits alone in her ready room as she records her log… *
[5:51][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's log, Stardate 100773.05. I have heard it said the past was like a stalking sehlat. slow and relentless. You can only hope to outrun it for so long. Lord Protector Son is finding out tha
[5:54][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:the Imperiums past has come calling. The Aurumi, the old Tanausan Preatorian guards, enhanced and unwaveringly loyal even after the emperors death. They have taken exception to anyone assuming tha
[5:56][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:mantle of leadership over the worlds of the former Imperium. The Aurumi have been attacking former imperial worlds, considering them rougue states
[6:00][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:The Pilgrim has arrived at the Sor nebula. We are here to confront my own past, when Saedis Vex died, i thought that was the end of it. or perhaps just hoped. I should have known better. Now i mus
[6:02][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:deal with her vengeful mother, Maelis Vex. She has already murdered Amanar and still holds Aquila, Ain, and Krinn hostage. It falls upon me to put an end to this before anyone else is harmed. End Log
[6:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Steady, helm, what's our ETA to those coordinates?
[6:04][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang stared out the window into the mists of the Sor nebula before talking a deep breathe and straightening her uniform and heading to the bridge-
[6:05][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-sensor sweeps to ensure no surprise guests
[6:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "At current speeds, give it about twenty minutes, ma'am.
[6:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--walks onto the bridge-
[6:05][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] *looked at the nebula in her screen.* Tell me halfbreed, do you have any redeeming qualities? *she looked up at her bridge ornament.
[6:06][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor grunted out some in pain, readjusting his seating position before scanning.
[6:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Probably none you'd count..." *She muttered, her voice somewhat strained from having been suspended for the past several hours.
[6:06][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks hearing the grunt
[6:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"anything noteworthy to report Gayle?
[6:06][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] Amuse me, list them anyway
[6:07][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-stiffles a chuckle at something
[6:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "About twenty minutes out, ma'am. Anything on sensors?
[6:08][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-a soft snarl- Nothing...und that ist the proble
[6:09][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:We are traveling along a path paved for u
[6:09][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I am certain of this
[6:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's because you are too busy screwing around instead of scanning, Weaps." *he snarled.
[6:10][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-scowls some- No...my feelings on this are accurate...old one. -sneered
[6:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"When we were here in the talon, our engines could take the nebula... We'll have issues re-establishing another warp bubble if we bring this one down inside the nebula.
[6:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That was her big plan. Make us unable to pick up any sort of speed.
[6:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm, adjust course. port 27 degrees. up angle 5 degrees.
[6:12][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She cracked a small smirk.* "I had the skill to convince at least a quarter of your fleet's servitor officers to mutiny.
[6:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:=^= "T'Ghor to engineering. Take a look at these scans right here. I'm certain we'll have trouble starting another warp bubble once we exit this. Figure out if we can do something abotu it.
[6:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] =/\= "Well, since you asked so nicely, Lieutenant..." *He could hear the smirk in her voice.
[6:13][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] Yes that was impressive. Of course that is because we ever bothered with them in the first place instead of eradication
[6:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:=^= "Blame my parents.
[6:14][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] ANything else
[6:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Are any other systems impacted by the nebula?
[6:14][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mollax] =/\= "I'll be sure to look them up when we're out of this.
[6:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He checked his sensors again before running hthrough his earlier scans to see if he can't simulate a way to negate the nebula's effects via a particle burst around them to create a counter.
[6:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Our speed will be decreased, but there's not much we can do about that.
[6:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "As will the range of our sensors, though they'll still be impressive by local standards.
[6:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i will put the Pilgrim's sensor arrays up against anything the Imperium has.
[6:17][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She gave another little grunt as she adjusted in her suspension.* "Killed a lot of your kind... and I mean a lot. But I imagine it pales compared to your body count...
[6:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Be careful, Captain. Their tech took a blow, so this whore will have all manners of traps set up to even the playing field.
[6:17][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] At least you are realistic
[6:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm i don't want to approach the designated coordinates directly. We will go wide and circle our way in slowly. Try to make it look like we might be lost. in case anyone is looking.
[6:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I could probably do something to deal with some of the nebula's more adverse effects, but it will take me time to calculate just how many bursts and with what frequency to use, Captain.
[6:19][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "What's the point in pretending? If you thought I was lying you'd probably cut something off of me.
[6:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"But if I succeed, we should be able to at least go into warp again, I hope.
[6:20][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] Maybe
[6:20][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she sat down in her throne
[6:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well work out the calculations lieutenant. We may need it as a possible escape route.
[6:20][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] T'pang shoul dbe reaching the nebula about now
[6:20][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor opened a tab to run his calculations.* "On it already, Captain.
[6:21][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] Have you read much of the Federtations literature Halfbreed
[6:22][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Just a few pieces I was recommended... why?
[6:22][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Kontact ahead...picking up odd readings...the objekt ahead is rather large...heavy interference prevents proper identificatio
[6:22][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Mealis] THey are prolific and very choatic so many different voices
[6:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Seeing it on the nav now, too... it's right at the coordinates we were given.
[6:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Prepping systems for EWAR.
[6:23][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Maelis] At grief so deep the tongue must wag in vain; the language of our sense and memory lacks the vocabulary of such pain
[6:23][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she seems to be quoting something
[6:25][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Some griefs are well-earned," *she muttered.
[6:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Can we identify it from here?
[6:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] "Captain... I'm picking up a.. distress call? It's Federation.
[6:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-adjusts her sensirs to attempt a proper id of the object
[6:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She is taunting us.
[6:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Can you identify the source of the distress call?
[6:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor looked at his sensors while the calculations ran.
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] "Straight ahead of us, ma'am... from the U.S.S. Isander.
[6:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Objekt ahead is confirmed as the size and shape configuration of a Federation starship..Bellerophon Klas
[6:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Maura? Anything about a missing starship, the USS Isander?
[6:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's a bellerophon indeed. Shot up pretty bad, we're talking heavy damage. It has minimum power going, but a few sections still have life support, Captain.
[6:31][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:..after all this time
[6:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He hit a few buttons.* "U.S.S. Isander, NCC-96288. Went missing about six months ago while investigating an IOC in sector 2029.
[6:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Life support may not neccessarily mean life. And I am betting you this is trap number two.
[6:34][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:...also quite possibly the source for clue number two as vel
[6:34][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** An exterior shot showed the Pilgrim gliding through the flame-hued mist and into range to catch bare glimpses of an identical but significantly damaged vessel.*
[6:36][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:She put up a fight..
[6:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She looked to T'Pang.* "Trap or not, it warrants investigation, ma'am. That's one of our ships.
[6:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "And it's unlikely we'll get any other clues as to Vex's whereabouts without seeing what's down there.
[6:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods at Gayle's comment
[6:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We may as well look. Helm circle us around so we can get a good look with the sensors.
[6:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I strongly recommend against the captain joining any away teams, however.
[6:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I concu
[6:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] "Ma'am? We're being -hailed- now.
[6:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"let's not get too far ahead of ourselves.
[6:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"put the hail on screen.
[6:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] "It seems to be routed from a Starfleet survival beacon... they'd have had to toss it out the shuttle bay themselves with this damage. It's audio only.
[6:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, put it on speaker.
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] *She put them on.
[6:41][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Female voice] *in a hard to place slavic accent* Oh thank the propets... This is Commander Irina Kovalenko, USS Isander... please tell me you are real
[6:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] *He checked something, then nodded to Gayle once.
[6:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Name checks out, ma'am." *She said softly to T'Pang.
[6:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Commander, this is Captain T'Pang of the USS Pilgrim.
[6:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He scowled even deeper as he listened, shifting in some pain and discomfort again.
[6:45][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] t'pang... I am so happy to hear another voice... I am all thats left
[6:46][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] How did you find me
[6:46][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-frowns some at this as she listens
[6:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...How long have you been out here on your own?
[6:47][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Few months... There alot of us at first after the battle. We had to hide form a prowler ambush... they followed us in.. we won but we coudln't escape
[6:48][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] A month later... the attacks started. This nebula is home to some sort of energy creature... they feed on synaptic energy
[6:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor scanned around for remains of any prowlers.
[6:48][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] As long as they don't touch you your okay but they picked us off groups at a time
[6:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *Her brow furrowed some.
[6:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Commander we are going to try and beam you aboard. Please stand by.
[6:50][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Transporters won't work in here
[6:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] "Captain, the nebula interference--- what she said.
[6:50][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Also You need to power down everything you can
[6:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you commander.
[6:51][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Power draws the creatures. Its like lighting up a buffet
[6:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"please stand by
[6:51][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Telepaths are the worst... my Science officer... her mind literally exploded before we coudl get her to a salvation chamber
[6:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she signals to silence the audio.-
[6:52][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Vulcans are fine... so are other touch telepaths but betazoids if you have any on your crew
[6:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] *She put Irina on hold at T'Pang's request.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Once the audio is silenced.* "There -are- prowler debris and dead tannies nearby, but -she- isn't real.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm prepare to make a close pass by that ship. Lieutenant T'Ghor see if you can locate any lifesigns.
[6:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He nodded and went for another sweep.
[6:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Human name, but she spoke about the prophets... I don't trust her.
[6:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Her file says she is half-Bajoran.
[6:54][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Does her file list a spouse?...or that
[6:54][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Maura
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it would not be the strangest backstory i have ever hear a human have Mister T'Ghor.
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Maybe, Captain. But I still feel something off in my gut.
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"But, something does seem off.
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"One humanoid life sign aboard.
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Just one.
[6:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tried to clear up the signal and see if it would match a human-bajoran physiology.
[6:56][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-runs a check for any sign of a creature in the area
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The life sign -is- human-bajoran, I can confirm that much.
[6:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] "She's hailing us again, Captain...
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"open the channel.
[6:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Chandri] *She opened it.
[7:00][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Captain! Can you hear me... blyat..
[7:00][DOIC]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] *phaser fire* They followed the signal... going dark
[7:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes, i can hear you.
[7:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Who followed the signal?
[7:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks over at T'Ghor-- "Are you reading any new energy signatures over there?
[7:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Six energy signatures, Captain.
[7:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Plus weapons fire.
[7:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Captain, if she -is- who she says she is...
[7:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Five... one is gone.
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Lieutenant T'Ghor how close is that life sign to a shuttle bay?
[7:05][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He checked on his little scan-map.
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The life sign's on the bridge... if we land on the shuttle bay, it will take us a decent amount of time to get there.
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Even more so if their lifts don't work.
[7:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Then we dock directly at the bridge.
[7:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Uh... how?
[7:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hrmph. Searching for outside ingress points we could reach by EVA...
[7:10][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He looked to see if there are any airlocks or the like they could open from outside.
[7:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Tsk. Their hull is just too damaged for us to attempt an EVA walk.
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The life sign is moving off the bridge.
[7:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Captain, the shuttlebay may be our best option, here. We could load it up with Istrin's people.
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The energy signatures are currently four, she killed one more.
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well it looks like the shuttle bay is our only option here.
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i want the security team in full combat gear.
[7:16][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I vould recommend they go as analog as possible my Kaptain...are these things not drawn to sources of energy
[7:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Understood. Might I suggest we send someone from Science too, to investigate these beings? They weren't here when we came through last.
[7:17][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I recommend Otsuka.
[7:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Jeez, how valiant.
[7:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Have the team equipped with the TR-116 rifles. that should be analog enough.
[7:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-sends that down to the team
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Otsuka] *She snapped her gum and turned to look at the others.* "You all recall that this is supposed to be T'pang's next clue, too, right?
[7:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She eyed the little brunette.* "We hadn't forogtten, Lieutenant.
[7:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Otsuka, I tell you to do one fucking thing.
[7:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:((oops sorry)
[7:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(( I meant Orestes lmao )
[7:21][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:[lmao
[7:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Otsuka didn't get stabbed fightin' an assassin, -and- she's the expert in alien beasts.
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "All I'm saying is, it might be something that only T'Pang's going to be able to figure out. But sure, let's send in the yellow stripes.
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That is a good point...Leftenant Elise, Orestes...meet me in transporter room one.
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "You mean the shuttle bay?
[7:23][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-sharp heel click- Javohl my Kaptai
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:***the shuttle ba
[7:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He snorted in amusement.
[7:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Enjoy, Orestes...
[7:25][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-collects her sidearm and smirks at T'Ghor- No commitment -as she straps on her holster- No dedication -teases
[7:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Me? But he said Otsuka!
[7:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Besides, if he's staying behind someone will have to make sure he doesn't make a mess of his console.
[7:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:and that he is quite comfortable -nods
[7:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'll be good and keep it in a sippy cup.
[7:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"And weaps, we need someone who can actually read a scanner on the bridge, right?
[7:27][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-rolls her eyes- You vere only stabbed, ja
[7:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So? If other species get to rest after being stabbed, so do I.
[7:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It would be specieist otherwise.
[7:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very well send Otsuka to the hanger bay.
[7:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nodnods- Of course...-heads out with the captain
[7:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Good luck, ma'am.
[7:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Gayle and steps on the lift.-
[7:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Good luck.
[7:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He turned back to his calculations for warp in the nebula.
[7:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"hanger bay
[7:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The lift SWOOOOOSHED.
[7:31][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-rides down the lift with the captain
[7:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*In the hangar bay Otsuka, Ettore, Savrik and Oliviera were all suiting up as Teeth ran flight checks on the Thunderpuncher II.
[7:33][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Nadine )
[7:33][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang marches the hanger bay with a sense of purpose. she begins gearing up.-
[7:33][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-puts on her armor and loads her rifle
[7:34][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Ma'am." *She nodded once, grinning as she loaded her big gun.
[7:35][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*One by one they finished prepping and boarded the Thunderpuncher.
[7:35][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We have one humanoid life sign over there, being attacked by a group of unknown energy creatures. We are going to put down in the shuttle bay and make out bay to the rescue the person. it will be.
[7:35][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-settled down and strapped in as she listened to the Captain
[7:36][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "You got it, Captain. Take it that's why you had us load up the low-tech stuff?
[7:37][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she continued speaking as she boarded the craft.-- "..Yes, it was decided that the analog systems would attract less attention and will probably be more effective.
[7:37][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Otsuka] *She sat down, beaming a bit.* "Most likely, ma'am, with energy based life forms such as this, phaser fire might even be a source of nourishment for them!
[7:38][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor ran his calculations and sims while keeping an eye on sensors from time to time in case anything blips.
[7:38][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Otsuka-- "that seems quite possible.
[7:39][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "You all ready back there?" *He called from the pilot's seat.
[7:39][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"anyway lets get moving, we are running out of time.
[7:40][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We are ready back here mister Teeth.
[7:41][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "You've got it, Captain." *The Thunderpuncher's engines came to life with a small roar before they lifted off and began to coast toward the other Bellerophon through the firey orange dusts.
[7:41][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "On approach... initiating the descent.
[7:42][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Savrik] *The surprisingly big vulcan calmly clicked his helmet into place in anticipation.
[7:43][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-readied her rifle and sealed her seat
[7:44][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The shuttle angled downward and quickly made its way into the wide open shuttlebay doors of the Isander. It was rather empty there, but for a few grotesque browned splotches on the floor and walls.
[7:45][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As the Thunderpuncher went to gently set down on a landing pad, the shuttle bay doors began to seal shut behind them.
[7:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "So what do you think the monsters are? Some of us did hear some spooky voices when we were here on the Talon, think that was them?
[7:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Possible. I can't really be too sure. She -did- say they are telepathic, but we did not seem to be that heavily accosted by them... Maybe it was something to do with the talon's engines?
[7:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "What, they saw we were in a Tanny ship and left us alone?
[7:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I mean, we know for a fact tannie ships are better suited to travel in this nebula and their engines are barely affected, maybe they have also taken these beasts into consideration when designing?
[7:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*you )
[7:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nah, maybe whatever their means of energy allocation is is... less tasty? You can never be too sure with weird space monsters.
[7:50][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Aiten] =/\= "Sick bay to bridge.
[7:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] =/\= "Yes, Doctor?
[7:51][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Aiten] =/\= "I've just had Lieutenant Vaax brought in to sickbay... he's collapsed, his telepathic synapses are going wild. I'm going to put him in stasis.
[7:52][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Aiten] =/\= "Something is clearly interfering with him, though. And I've had a--- Nurse Maggie, what are you doing?
[7:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fuck... s'pose she wasn't bullshitting.
[7:53][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] *She frowned as she saw the doors closing.* "Nope... don't like that.
[7:54][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] =/\= "Doctor Aiten?
[7:54][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:Ja not a good sig
[7:54][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Aiten] =/\= "Apologies. It appears some of our non-telepathic crewmembers are also experiencing audio-visual hallucinations, as well.
[7:54][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...Just wait until the other shoe drops...
[7:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If anyone starts feeling or seeing weird, report.
[7:55][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:Shall we move My Kaptain...direct to threat
[7:55][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] *She took the rifle and smirked.* "That's what we're here for, ma'am." *She checked that there was oxygen outside, then opened the hatch and hopped right out.
[7:55][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Let's get moving.
[7:55][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The security goons went out along with her, with Otsuka behind them.
[7:56][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-joined nadine sweeping her aim about as she stepped out side into the hanger
[7:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I do every time I turn my head left.
[7:56][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-stays near the captain protectively
[7:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--follows the herd.-
[7:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You feel weird by default. It's a natural consequence of working while greek.
[7:58][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-takes point then to move them to their destination
[7:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The security officers methodically cleared the shuttle bay, checking every corner.
[7:59][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"There should be stairs inside the ahnger that should get us close to the deck we want to be on.
[7:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Oliviera] "Clear!
[7:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Savrik] "Clear.
[7:59][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-checks her HUD to look for the indicated stairs
[7:59][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Clea---" *She turned suddenly as the door began to open.
[8:00][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor switched his attention between his calculations and the sensors.
[8:00][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-aims as well as the doors begin to open
[8:00][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Don't shoot
[8:00][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--takes aim as the door opens, then lowers her weapon.-
[8:01][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*a bloodied half bajoran half human woman comes through the door
[8:01][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Commander, we were just coming to find you.
[8:01][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] *She looked at T'Pang a moment, then reluctantly lowered her rifle partway.
[8:01][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-keeps her covered with her rifle
[8:01][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] I was coming to... Oh prophets no..
[8:02][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] If that door is shut that means they got control of the ship..
[8:02][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Great, they can operate switches, too?
[8:02][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Funny thing that, they closed just as we landed.
[8:03][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina]"Probably the shuttles energy... did you power down your ship?
[8:03][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*irina's uniform was tatters, she was wearing equipment and seem to have a modified weapon of some kin
[8:03][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "We didn't leave the AC on for our Nausicaan, I don't think.
[8:05][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina]"I meant the pilgrim..." *she spit out some blood.
[8:06][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:Kommander -to irina- How did you modifify your veapon to make it effective
[8:06][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] A lot of trial and error. they adapt liek the borg
[8:06][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] But unliek the borg... physical damage does nothing
[8:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Guys, someone's talkin' to me.
[8:07][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] I trapped four of htem in the bridge hwne i escaped. But now we have to get back there. And we can't use the way i got out, only way in is a turbolift now
[8:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I dunno whether to give my condolences or my congratulations.
[8:08][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] And I 've got those locked out
[8:08][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Very funny. Maybe I -should- just listen to the voices in my head.
[8:08][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Which means we have to go through the reroute.... prophets be damned.
[8:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Do you need to be excused, T'Ghor, or do you think you have it handled?
[8:08][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"and why do we have to get back there?
[8:09][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "I imagine to get the shuttle doors back open.
[8:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"So far it's pretty standard, I think I can live with it. If I start actin' weird, just shoot me.
[8:09][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--heads for the hange doors.-- "i think we should try a more direct approach.
[8:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Uh... Stun, I mean. Just to be clear.
[8:09][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Blow the doors
[8:09][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] With what ordinance
[8:09][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:a direct approach? explosives
[8:10][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i wasn't thinking quite that direct.
[8:10][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] The hull you can't go outside into that nebula they will get you in a moment
[8:10][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:an override
[8:10][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i was going to try an override.
[8:11][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] We scrambled the prefix codes last thing captian T'vanis did
[8:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "...Right. Just keep me informed.
[8:11][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] When it looked like we were going to be captured. Then the Tanausan ships just exploded
[8:11][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] We didn't know why
[8:11][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] We hit them but we didn't think that hard
[8:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I will. As I said, so far it's pretty regular.
[8:14][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well we should at least give the override a try, it could save us a trip.
[8:14][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Okay, but trust what you can't verify, the first thing they do is start messing with your mind. I've walked by spectors of crew calling for help more times than i can count
[8:15][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i will keep that in mind commander." --she says headed to the hanger bay door controls.-
[8:16][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-moves to keep T'Pang safe by staying near
[8:17][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As T'Pang approached the console, she would see that not only was it covered in a dull, dry brown stain over nearly half of it, but it had been blasted repeatedly with an energy weapon.
[8:19][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "There's another one up there," *she called, pointing up at a console three levels above them.* "But it looks like the ladder's been torn out.
[8:19][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"conveinient.
[8:20][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] This is where they attacked first
[8:20][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] We were prepign teh shuttles to attemtp to make it out of the nebula and get help. They started pouring in right through the force field
[8:21][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:The hanger bay mustve looked like a feast for the
[8:22][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Well, there's gotta be another way up.
[8:23][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] We watched one fo the shuttle sget swarmed. Drained every bionueral gel pack on it then started on the crew
[8:26][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "We could try looking for another way up, Captain. A jefferies tube maybe.
[8:27][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, lets look around for some other way up.
[8:27][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Nearest tube is down the hall
[8:28][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Right. I'll take point, then.
[8:28][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[irina] I'll lead you there
[8:28][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lead the way then.
[8:28][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] *She nodded to Irina and went to walk next to her.
[8:28][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:ill bring up the rear -moves to cover the back
[8:29][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] This way. I suggest travel light. I can only imagine they will try to take the shuttle if we get this open
[8:29][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she truned around to head out in the hallway
[8:29][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Good luck getting it away from Teeth.
[8:29][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-smirks hearing this
[8:33][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Still... Savrik, Otsuka, stay here with the Thunderpuncher. Keep Teeth company.
[8:34][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The large vulcan and small human nodded and went back to the shuttle.
[8:34][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*irina started to lead the team to the jeffries tube
[8:35][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The hallway light was flickering some, but they could see more brown stains and damage from phaser fire on the walls around them on the way to the tube.
[8:35][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] *she muttered to herself* The prophets walk with me, I am on the path.
[8:35][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Keep your minds focused it cna help..
[8:37][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Focused. Sure." *She popped the hatch open.
[8:37][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-takes in the damage and keeps focused as advised as they moveto the tubes
[8:37][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "After you, then." *She smirked at Irina.
[8:38][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:Just how many of these things got aboard
[8:38][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] At the start. hundreds
[8:39][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[irina] After a few months when our numbers were down... i think most of the heard went back dormant.
[8:39][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "No reason to stay when the buffet's closed down," *she shrugged.
[8:40][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] *was silent and kept leading them but her silence was accusative
[8:40][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] *She seemed nonplussed as she followed.
[8:41][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-waited for all to go in and then entered and followed
[8:42][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[irina] Why are you here captain
[8:42][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The group ascended through the dark jefferies tube, eerily quiet but for the sound of their exertion.
[8:43][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"oh i am here by invitation.
[8:43][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] What?
[8:43][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*irina used the manual lever to open the tube door
[8:45][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*then lead them trhough
[8:45][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i was sent these particular coordinates by a fomer officer of the Imperium, a Maelis Vex. Familiar with her?
[8:45][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The hatch opened to show the upper platform that loomed over the shuttle bay far below.
[8:45][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] No
[8:46][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] But i don't trade baseball cards with the tannies
[8:46][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"You know the war is over, right?
[8:47][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "She's a ripe old cunt that's begging for a swift kick. And I don't imagine that message got out this far, ma'am.
[8:47][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] It is
[8:47][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] The explosions..
[8:47][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Depends on who you ask.
[8:47][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] There was an energy wave we didn't know where from
[8:47][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:Most likel
[8:48][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina]*she lead them to antoehr door
[8:48][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Help me open this
[8:48][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Oh, yeah, they did that. Long story. Sure they'll tell it over cocoa and marshmallows when we're on the Pilgrim.
[8:48][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-moves over to assist her with the door
[8:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"What is behind this door?
[8:49][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "A brand new shuttle.
[8:49][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] The auxillery hangar control
[8:50][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*With some effort and scraping, the doors were slowly pushed open.
[8:50][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-puts her shoulder into it
[8:50][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[irina] unfortunately i am nto an engineer
[8:51][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] I was actually a Counselor
[8:51][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Then someone talked me into being a first officer. T'vannis said the job was primarily a people job..
[8:51][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Irina] Guess i failed that one
[8:52][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:I doubt tha
[8:52][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The room ahead of them had a full view of the hangar below, as well as a large console stretching in a crescent around the middle of the room.
[8:54][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--went to the console to see what she could make of it.-
[8:54][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-goes with her to protect her
[8:54][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As T'Pang went to stand at the console, she could hear muffled weapons fire from the hangar below!
[8:55][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Shit..." *She walked quickly over to look down into the shuttle bay.
[8:55][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"WE just need to activate the door mechanism, it can't be that difficult.
[8:56][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Nadine] "Captain!
[8:56][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-does the same looking to provide cover fire if need be
[8:56][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes?
[8:57][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Through the windows that lead to the shuttle bay they could see shimmering blurs streaking around the Thunderpuncher. Savrik was trying to get Otsuka to the hatch, firing off at the creatures with.
[8:57][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:his rifle.
[9:00][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As they watched, one of them seized on to Otsuka's ankle, pulling her right off her feet and dragging her screaming backwards...
[9:01][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Otsuka] "No... no... NO!!" *Her screams of terror and agony reach them even three floors up...
[9:01][DOIC2]Elise@Isis:-stepped back and fired a steady burst at the window before her, if it breaks she will fire at the creature blur dragging Otsuka
