Pilgrim 2/16/2021

[9:14][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays! *
[9:15][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens on a sweeping shot of the Pilgrim and Enigma gliding slowly alongside one another on approach of the Talon Expanse, collecting what could prove to be priceless data in the hunt..
[9:16][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:for the Tanausans who raided the Anhui. As the view cuts into the Pilgrim bridge, T'Pang can be seen sitting in the captain's chair as she records her log. *
[9:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 97904.65. Several hours have passed since our strange alternate reality incident. It will be some time before that occurance is completely understood
[9:16][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 97904.65. Several hours have passed since our strange alternate reality incident. It will be some time before that occurance is completely understood
[9:18][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:In the meantime we are about ready to review the results from the AHLRT system. Hopefully we will learn something useful here. We are also hoping position while we wait for the arrival of the Scyrith
[9:20][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:vessel, the Scorphyr. They are bringin us an advisor knowledgable about the Tanausans. Apparently one of the rebels we brought back with us
[9:21][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:hopefully they can be of some help in this situation. End Log
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Keeps the scans running, tapping on his console.
[9:22][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain the tactical readout data of the AHLRT System is ready fro review, woudl you like me to shwo it on the main viewer
[9:22][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li is down in main engineering, keeping an eye on the systems while reviewing his Valentines Day plans.
[9:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Sure, lets take a look at it.
[9:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he sends the "optimal" Simulation to the viewer
[9:23][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:As a reminder we will simply see the tactical data and valid, not the actual imagery for this.
[9:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at the screen-
[9:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Validations
[9:24][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The screen transformed to a grid, upon which one could see several large circular objects with helpful little lables of PLANET or ASTEROID. A little blip to represent the Anhui could be seen..
[9:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--watches with keen interest.
[9:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:moving shakily across the screen toward one of the larger planets.
[9:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As the Anhui blip passes an asteroid blip on its way to the planet, the asteroid suddenly vanishes.
[9:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Interesting
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The Anhui blip continues on to orbit around the planet. It vanishes once as it is eclipsed by the planet it orbits, but returns not long after.
[9:30][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Interesting captain that asteroid that dissapeared corresponds with the lso tof ACCI signal
[9:31][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is possible that that was a ship that activated some sort of light absorbing stealth
[9:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The Tanasauans?
[9:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "They had stealth ships the last time we encountered them by their borders, didn't they?
[9:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes but nothign larg enough to classify as an asteroid that we observed
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I see... Captain?
[9:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It could be confirming the existence of a command carrier
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The anhui picked up a sensor dark spot right around the same time, when it cut out.
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It was the last info they sent out.
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at T'Ghor-- "Something to add Lieutenant?
[9:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Hm... this tech isn't perfect by any means, particularly without an AI guiding it. Let's reserve our judgement for now.
[9:35][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Most things are specualtions yes
[9:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Certainly, we will want to analyse this data a lot more before drawing any conclusions.
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The only thing that will be conclusive is engine plumes and weapons fire
[9:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There was a time lapse on the screen, showing the next few minutes as uneventful as the Anhui orbited the planet. Suddenly, the spot where the asteroid had vanished from was replaced by a blip..
[9:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:labeled UNKNOWN SPACIAL ANOMALY.
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Assuming the attack does not happen facing the sun..
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Curious
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Frowns at that, trying to look over the data from the Anhui.
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--stares at the screen-
[9:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Multiple blips started to pour out of the spot on the screen, streaking toward the Anhui and falling on it like a pack of wolves on their prey. The blips encircle and spin around the Anhui's blip..
[9:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:as weapons fire can be seen pouring onto the little science ship without mercy.
[9:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*tags the count
[9:39][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin looks at the others after seeing the viewscreen
[9:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--sets her jaw, as if holding back an emotional response.-
[9:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes... the unknown spacial anomaly is the same dark spot the Anhui picked up.
[9:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Undoubtedly the system is correct on their ingress point.
[9:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"so they opened a wormhole to jump in the system?
[9:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "They just ripped it apart," *she murmured.
[9:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:16 prowlers
[9:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Captain. It definitely seems so.
[9:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"16? that seems like an excessive use of force.
[9:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*After a time the blips could be seen falling into formation around the Anhui blip before all of the blips started heading back toward the anomaly.
[9:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we will need to try to develop a counter measure to that gate technology...or at least an early warning system.
[9:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is also more than a Reported command carrier could carry we may be looking at a new vessel
[9:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or that may be a wormhole projection
[9:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Unfortunatley we are limited
[9:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"well i suspect any vessel that could be mistaken for an asteroid would be large enough wouldn't you mister Aquila?
[9:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes a command carrier was reported to eb 5 kilometers in length
[9:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:This one... would be atleast three times that
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This is more than a minor scouting mission, I think.
[9:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes, Captain... sounds like a full invasion.
[9:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "...No... this is the prelude to an all out war.
[9:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:A retaliation for losing the black oocean battle perhaps or the destruction of the CHosen hub
[9:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he watched what remained of the simualtion
[9:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Or all of the above.
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The question what is their exact mission here? Perhaps out new advisor can shed some light in it when they arrive.
[9:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The ships all vanished into the anomaly, and the anomaly closed up right after them.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"they did not come all this way to destroy a science ship.
[9:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed Captain
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Target of opportunity, probably. Or mindgames.
[9:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Or a test
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"a test or maybe they saw something they should not have.
[9:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "To see if they could do it? Or to see what we would do about it?
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Response, positioning. Probe the enemy and see their response
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:How they lay out their lines
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Whatever ti is, it's fucked.
[9:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I wish we coudl knwo if they docked and used some sort of FTL or did they return through a wormhole
[9:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"perhaps, but a random attack on a deep space survey vessel does not seem much of a test.
[9:48][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I sincerly hope it is the former
[9:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Not to mention their computer core is invaluable if they're looking to build up a strategy against us.
[9:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Or..." *She pondered.
[9:48][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Which is why I'm thinking mindgames, Captain.
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"sure the the computer core would have valuable information on it...but if they were looking for intelligence there would have been better targets not that far away.
[9:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Well... the Anhui was a science vessel investigating a planet with underground ruins... what if the Tanausans thought they were us?
[9:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's worrying.
[9:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"mistaken identity?
[9:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Or a trap set for a science vessle and they assume dit would be us.
[9:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I'm curious where were we on the mission docket for this mission.
[9:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She frowned.* "You think someone would have set us up from the inside?
[9:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am not aware that the Pilgrim was considered for that mission.
[9:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We were distracted by the oen recovered. Had to return, our opritinal patrol would have carried us near this system
[9:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"But, command does not always tell me everything,
[9:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It may have been banking oon our curiosity
[9:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "T'Ghor certainly would have begged us to go tomb raiding.
[9:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Oh... captain. The Scorphyr has arrived.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"oh good.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"hails them.
[9:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah... I would have.
[9:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It would not be an out of character use of time. The dark truth is we may be fortunate it was not the Gigantes or Caelian. No single starfleet vessel could have stood up to those numbers
[9:54][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** An exterior show showed a graceful vessel dropping out of warp, resembling the classic Scyrthi oval shape but outfitted with two pairs of nacelles branching outward like a lovely set of wings. ..
[9:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is a good point Mister Aquila. They may have been hoping of r a bigger fish and ended up with a smaller catch than they wanted.
[9:55][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:As it moved, the nacelles swayed lightly and trailed red beams of light behind them.*
[9:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hrm... haven't seen one like this before.
[9:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Looks almost Romulan
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i think this is one of thier newer vessels.
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "It's a new age for the Scyrthi... the name Scorphyr means 'Hope's Wings.'
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"they may have gotten tips from alliance members in its construction.
[9:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Onscreen, captain?
[9:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes please.
[9:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The screen showed Arandak Tirrhe, seated in his power chair and looking frail but determined. His greying feathers had a more distinctive blue tone to them, and his eyes were sharp. At his side..
[9:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:stoof the half-Simirian half-Catadai rebel, Ain Laudrenate.
[9:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Greetings Arandak, we were just admiring your vessel. And it is good to see you again Ain Laudrenate. It has been some time.
[9:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tirrhe] "Captain T'Pang... it is a pleasure, as always," *he said, reaching to an oxygen mask and placing it to his beak for a moment, drawing in a breath and continuing.* "I must extend my..
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:condolenced on the loss of the ship in your flock. It is a grave matter, one the Scyrthi do not take lightly.
[10:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She gave a polite bow of her horned head.* "Greeting, Captain T'Pang. It has been.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thank you. Indeed it is a troubling matter for the entire alliance.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"But, then again we had to know the Tanausans would come calling sooner or later.
[10:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i just hoped we might be better prepared.
[10:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tirrhe] "Indeed, so our friend Laudrenate has been informing me. I hope that by bringing her to you we will be able to properly get to the bottom of this incursion.
[10:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I humbly request your permission to come aboard the Pilgrim, Captain T'Pang.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "We will get to the bottom of it. That task will be easier and go faster with Ain's assistance.
[10:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"permission granted Ain, We will send over the coordinates.
[10:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Thank you, Captain. I look forward to seeing you in person soon.
[10:05][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i look forward to it as well.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--stands up.-
[10:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tirrhe] "We'll be taking on a patrol route with some others of our flock to help find any more Tanausans that may attempt to come over, Captain T'Pang. They will meet our talons for this insult.
[10:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will keep the fleet up to date on anything we find here.
[10:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes mister Aquila?
[10:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Shall i send the scyrthi what info we have on the anomaly
[10:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"You may Mister Aquila, we should also update the fleet through the ACCI as well.
[10:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "On it, Captain.
[10:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he sent the info to the Scorphyr
[10:08][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Transmitting data
[10:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tirrhe] "You have our appreciation, Captain T'Pang. We will transmit anything we find to you.
[10:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Indeed is looking like a full scale invasion.
[10:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It would not be the first time, Captain, just the first time in two million years.
[10:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I will prepare to beam over.
[10:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i recommend not spreading your ships too thin you wont want to face these bastards alone.
[10:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tirrhe] "I agree. The Beryxians have agreed to send their own ships to fly with our flocks... we must simply wait for their arrival.
[10:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tirrhe] "Meanwhile the Kirtascans only wish to fly with their own. It will not end well for them.
[10:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "stay safe Arandak, until we meet again.
[10:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tirrhe] "And you, Captain T'Pang." *The hail ended.
[10:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--as the hail ends.-- 
[10:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle I will be in the transporter room.
[10:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye, ma'am.
[10:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes mister Aquila?
[10:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I suggest Ensign Vaax accompany you
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Istrin-- "well come alone ensign.
[10:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:To give Ain a proper honor guard
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"She deserves it.
[10:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:**alon
[10:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--climbs on the lift-
[10:15][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*The zoid followed after T'pang, fixing his uniform a little
[10:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"deck 2.
[10:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--straightened her own uniform.-
[10:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Hm... interesting that they sent Ain. I wonder what's become of the other rebels?
[10:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--the lift whooshed.-
[10:16][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The lift dinged as it got to the proper floor.
[10:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Probably each of them is working to specialize further in something?
[10:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I imagine most of them want to help in some way.
[10:17][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--stepped off and made her way straight to the transporter room.-
[10:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Maybe... some were a bit standoffish, though, don't you think?
[10:17][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she looked at the chief-- "is our guest ready to beam over?
[10:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:She may have also been the one to volunteer
[10:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Maybe so.
[10:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Their military leader died and they lost their rebellion
[10:17][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks at Istrin-- "try to look official, stand at atttention or something.
[10:17][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Royal] "Aye ma'am, we have the green light.
[10:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They will fight when given proper target
[10:18][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"energize.
[10:18][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin nodded* Yes ma'am.. Whatever you say.
[10:18][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*and he did just that.. looking.. official
[10:18][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The pad shimmered, and https://i.imgur.com/8oAnSBr.jpg appeared there.
[10:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I hope so.
[10:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She stepped down from the pad with a respectful bow of her head.* "Hello again, Captain T'Pang.
[10:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--step forward to greet the woman.-- "Welcome aboard the Pilgrim Ain.
[10:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"or welcome back aboard, I should say.
[10:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It is good to be back, though I wish circumstances were different.
[10:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"indeed these are troubling circumsttances.
[10:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They could see the Scorphyr gliding away from them, then jumping to warp.
[10:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I wonder.. If we go to the point of that anomaly. Directly on those coordinates. Is there anything we might be able to detect to potential rule out or confirm wormhole opening
[10:22][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "The Tanausan Imperium has been involved only in internal conflicts for countless generations, to be mobilised against an enemy of their Goddess again, there will be many grasps for glory.
[10:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We can try. That's more Orestes' field, but I think there -may- be residue.
[10:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, yeah, I can totally find a collapsed wormhole for you." *She stretched.
[10:24][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i will give you some time to settle in, my senior offcers will make our finding up to now available to you. We will have a staff meeting later.
[10:25][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I am more than ready to begin whenever you need me, Captain T'Pang. It has been almost a year since I last fought the Imperium.
[10:25][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I have been dreaming for the day I could once again strike fear into those bastards' hearts." *She grinned wickedly.
[10:26][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Sure, I imagine you may be tired from the journey are you sure you would not rather freshen up first?
[10:26][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She laughed.* "I took a ship here, Captain, it's not like I walked. But if you wish for me to stay out of the way for the time being, I will do so.
[10:27][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"No. I just did not want to overwhelm you the moment you stepped on board.
[10:28][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we can proceed directly to the bridge and get to work if you are ready.
[10:28][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I am not easily overwhelmed, Captain. Otherwise I never would have started fighting in the first place." *She nodded.* "I'll follow your lead.
[10:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, you just do your thing when we get there, I'll nod along and pretend to understand.
[10:28][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "That is good to hear. I am glad you are here.
[10:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Commander *he looked to gayle for the order
[10:29][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she turns to leave-- "if you will follow me I will take you to the bridge.
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She looked back.* "Very well then, let's head back and take a look at what's going on there.
[10:29][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin nodded, waiting for them both to begin walking before following
[10:29][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin nodded, waiting for them both to begin walking before following
[10:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Aye ma'am, charting course.
[10:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Pretended to look like he understands space stuff and not old stuff.
[10:30][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(Tried to look like*
[10:31][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--steps on the lift-- "Bridge..
[10:31][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Lift go swoosh.
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--Steps onto the bridge-
[10:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Welcome back, Captain. Miss Laudrenate. We were about to head back to the system where the Anhui vanished to check out the site of the anomaly.
[10:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She walked out with T'Pang.* "Anomaly?
[10:32][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Captain. Miss Laudrenate.
[10:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin hid back into the box and relaxed a bit once he was out of sight of T'pang
[10:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Anhui detected an "Unknown" anomaly and a sensor dark spot before they were attacked.
[10:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We are going to check if that was their ingress point.
[10:33][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Yes, Captain should I set a workstation for her on the aft display
[10:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns at looks at Ain-- "I am going to have you work with my Tactical officer Lieutenant Aquila, and give you and opportunity to review the data we have so far.
[10:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Understood, Captain. I will help however I can.
[10:34][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he locked his own console and headed to the back station for the moment to log Ain in to a station subsection
[10:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She followed Aquila, observing the station with interest.
[10:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"LEts go check out an anomaly.
[10:35][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:You will be able to access all data we gathered and the simulation prepared by one of our systems

[10:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The console can be placed in your native language for ease fo traversal
[10:36][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim leapt to warp. *
[10:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor spun up his sensors and gave Orestes view of his data too, in case she needs it.
[10:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I have learned your letters, I should be able to figure it out.
[10:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We have many of those. *he smiled
[10:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:As you can see, we were abel to confirm an attack by atleast 16 prowlers
[10:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Mister Aquila make sure those shields are on standby..we have to assume the bad guys are waiting nearby.
[10:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:However this anomaly, We are not certain of
[10:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Of course captain
[10:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She gave him a smirk.* "They are not so complicated." *She then looked at the screen, her smirk fading into a frown.* "It does appear to be a standard ambush attack... but how they've..
[10:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:been able to appear from nowhere, it's unlike what we've seen before. They were good, but not -that- good.
[10:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thye may have developed new technology...or got help from someone else.
[10:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It was said, during the war long ago, that the Tanausans were gifted with the weapons to defeat their enemies by the angels of the Goddess.
[10:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That would be consistent with what we saw from the CHosen technology given to the m captian
[10:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "And now, potentially, Zhyx.
[10:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods slowly, staring at the screen-
[10:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Unnnnless the Zhyx were also uplifted.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Frowns deeply as he listens to the theories, tapping the side of his console nervously.
[10:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--glares at Orestes-
[10:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She looked back at T'Pang innocently.* "What?
[10:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets try to refrain from idle speculation. We should stick to what we have evidence for.
[10:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Idle speculation is what I do best, though, ma'am.
[10:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--exhales slowly-
[10:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She paused, looking at the screen.* "Um, Captain?
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Could not keep a smirk from appearing at Orestes' response.
[10:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"what now Gayle?
[10:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We've just lost contact with the Kirtascan cruiser, the Protector's Spear. They might just be turning their comms off to ignore us heretics again, but all things considered...
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, fuck.
[10:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"where are they inrelation to the rest of the fleet?
[10:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That is a problem
[10:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he headed back to his station
[10:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked for last updated position
[10:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "They were the furthest out from the Citadel, ma'am. Closest ship to them is about half an hour away at high warp.
[10:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Advise the Enigma that we are going to investigate. Advise the fleet of the situation over ACCI as well.
[10:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye, ma'am... Enigma signals it's coming with us.
[10:49][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The spear has a crew of 850 pluss captain. Giving the exact last reported coordinates to helm
[10:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm lay in a course for the Protector's Spear's last position. And Tactical take us to red alert.
[10:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Aye ma'am, changing course.
[10:49][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Red Alert Aye captain
[10:50][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The red alert klaxons sounded!
[10:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"helm maximum warp..engage.
[10:50][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Look alive, folks
[10:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Aye aye! Engaging!
[10:50][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Hmm.. *Istrin beep booped on his console, following red alert procedures for the security minions
[10:52][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "Ooh, I hope this is a false alarm...
[10:52][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:And what exactly would give you that idea
[10:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Other ships are responding, the Scyrthi vessels and Mjolnir are also en route to the Spear's last location. They're about twenty minutes behind us.
[10:53][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "I mean, they're Kirtascans... sometimes they just do weird things like turn off comms.
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"How many ships is the scyrthi patrol group?
[10:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "acknowledged.
[10:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Three at present.
[10:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"now might be a good time to ask what are options are if we should encounter the Tanasusans.
[10:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Tricobalt torpedoes and a lot of them captain
[10:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Frowns.* "We definitely don't have enough ships.
[10:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"how many do we have?
[10:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:While we attempt to tactically withdraw
[10:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Full lload of four
[10:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--frowns-
[10:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"so we have no weapons that can hurt these bastards?
[10:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Enigma would have another 6, and the Mjolnir when she arrives 10. But any more than two at once risks a subspace rift
[10:56][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Yes Lt. T'ghor but it's also more than just one single ship when we arrive.
[10:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's true.
[10:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We do
[10:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We have the mining laser modifications that worked on teh choson ship
[10:57][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps engineering can rework the ventral phaser array to give us a few shots
[10:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"May all the ancestors help us.
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am surprised no one has looked into improving that design.
[10:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It would burn out the arrays
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I thought Lieutenant Aquila had some idea about it?
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or do I remember wrong?
[10:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:There was a reaseach study i was following on my leave by Lt Ezri Tegan
[10:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Mine was for personal weaponry
[10:58][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:I'll get to praying to the deities.. *he faced his console again, half joking of course
[10:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, my bad.
[10:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We haven't had the chance to scale it. or get a working prototyp
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ezri's a different, but efficient mind. She'll probably figure something out.
[10:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The prowlers we may be able to do something about, the issue is if they have religned their hull with Veracysium
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Where is this Lieutenant Tegan now?
[10:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The fact that th ahlrt could detect them does suggest they have not
[10:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:USS protector NExus 
[10:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Very far away
[10:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Damn, it would be nice if we could consult with her directly.
[11:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Should i task engineerign with overloadign the ventral phaser array
[11:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We work with what we have, ma'am.
[11:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes have engineering look into the issue. They may be able to give us soemthing.
[11:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:=^= Aquila To Zorin. We need you to overload the ventral phaser array and attempt to tune it to match the modificaitons done to Teeth's shuttle before the battle with the choson vessel
[11:01][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Captain? Want me to try and overload their targeting systems with particle expulsions once we are in system?"
[11:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"anything you can do to prevent them from shooting at us would be appreciated Lieutenant.
[11:02][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= ...overload? We could have weeks of repair before we get another shot off if things go south
[11:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:=^= Yes, we will have to pick our shot
[11:02][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Alright...as long as you understand that. We'll get to work
[11:02][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:=^= But we need a lance, we will compensate with maneuvers as best we can
[11:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Will do. Commander Gayle, once we are in range of friendly ships, could you please transfer this deflector set-up to them, so my jamming does not affect them?
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He sends a preset for the deflector to gayle.
[11:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I'll send it off to them so they're ready when we get there.
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Great, thank you.
[11:03][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= We'll need to see...'Teeth's' modifications
[11:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm ETA?
[11:03][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] "...We did those mods, Li, remember?
[11:04][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Oh, right
[11:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Arrival in... six minutes, Captain.
[11:04][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Let's get on it, people
[11:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:=^= No pressure engineering but you have potentially 6 minutes
[11:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"alright people put your game faces on.
[11:04][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Understood
[11:05][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Mister Sulok, organize an engineering team. I need an ETA immediately
[11:05][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Wait a second..
[11:05][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Hold
[11:05][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "Sir?
[11:05][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Li to Lieutenant Jillian Zorin
[11:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Ain, you will eb gettign tactical information as we are fighting
[11:06][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] *She was currently in a staring contest with Adrian over a bowl of peas.* =/\= "Jill here.
[11:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If you see openings we do not
[11:06][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Please report to main engineering on the double
[11:06][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Please inform me
[11:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Understood." *She nodded once.
[11:06][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] =/\= "What? What's going on?
[11:07][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Let us hope they simply put comms on silent
[11:07][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= We're going to need to overload the ventral phaser array...just like the modifications that were made to the shuttle before we fought the Chosen
[11:07][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If you know of some way to mess with their electronics, that would be appreciated too." *To ain.
[11:07][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= I just remembered you were working on something like this
[11:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that would be anice change of pace..
[11:08][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] =/\= "I mean... I was, I am, but it's still in the design phase, nowhere near close to implementation...
[11:08][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Honey...we're going to implementation
[11:08][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= We're also on the clock

[11:09][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Understood...you know I wouldn't take you away from him if I thought I had a better option
[11:09][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] =/\= "Damn right. I'll be there shortly.
[11:09][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:=^= Li out
[11:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--stares at the main screen a grim look on her face.-
[11:10][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I remembered that J-Lieutenant Zorin had been working on a larger scale implementation. It should save us some valuable time
[11:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain there is weapons fire in the system ahead. We will be entering a firefight
[11:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Tanuasan and Kirtascaan
[11:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Atleast they are still fighting
[11:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "A Kirtascan cruiser's a bit harder of a target to take down than a Rhode Island class.
[11:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Indeed
[11:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] *She came running into engineering, her hair in a messy ponytail.* "Okay! How much time do we have?
[11:13][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Mister Sulok
[11:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Sulok] "Less than one minute until we reach the system.
[11:13][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:*Li looks to Jill.
[11:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Let's hope they hold out till us and the other reinforcements get there.
[11:13][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] "...Seriously..." *She hurried up to the console.
[11:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Exiting warp in three... two...
[11:14][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:I had barely more than that when they asked
[11:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Get me a scan of the area Lieutenant T'Ghor.
[11:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:=^= Stand by for combat maneuvers
[11:15][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim and Enigma leapt out of warp and into pure chaos. Tanausan prowlers were swarming around the Protector's Spear, which had clearly taken a hearty beating already but was still kicking.
[11:16][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:back at its attackers. As they approached they could see a mighty blast from the Kirtascan cannon blow the wing off of a Prowler, sending it spinning out of control. *
[11:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"how many enemy ship's are we looking at here?
[11:16][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Tries to give T"Pang her scan, while simultaneously starting particle emissions.
[11:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he checked the tactical scanners
[11:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Thirteen Prowlers, the Kirtascaan's have managed to destroy three by the debris
[11:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lets get in there and run interference for the Kirtascans.
[11:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Tasking phasers, locking targets, captain full spread
[11:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if we can take some of the heat off them maybe they can destroy a few more.
[11:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"full spread.
[11:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he locked in torpedos for the prowler weakspots jus tin case they got lucky

[11:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Aquila roll for pew pew
[11:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Captain! I got a wormhole, on the other side of that gas giant on heading 167.
[11:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's being kept open by some kinda probe.
[11:20][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:How we looking
[11:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Some kind of probe?
[11:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Damn, I was hoping we'd just be facing a large ship
[11:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"how far away is it?
[11:21][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Enigma and Pilgrim swooped into the fray, attacking in tandem as they sent missiles spiraling toward the Tanausan Prowlers. However, only one of the missiles launched from the Pilgrim..
[11:22][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:landed a hit, and the stricken Prowler's engines began to flicker on and off erratically. *
[11:22][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain we will need to close distance, the prowlers are able to maneuver to well at normal engagement ranges
[11:22][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We scored one hit
[11:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"10 mintues at full impulse, Captain.
[11:22][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right. Helm get us in close.
[11:23][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] "Well it's not what I'd like it to be, ideally I'd have weeks to fine tune and replace and reconstruct...
[11:23][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:We make due with what we have in minutes
[11:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Aye ma'am!
[11:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if they have to have a device hold the gate open that is a weakness we may be able to exploit.
[11:24][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:In this case, the perfect is the enemy of the good
[11:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Particle emissions underway, hope their targeting systems get scrambled up well enough.
[11:24][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim moved in closer to the Protector's Spear as a few of the Prowlers turned their attention to the Starfleet vessels.*
[11:24][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(T'Pang roll!
[11:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--seems oddly distracted.-
[11:26][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Though the Prowlers opened up on them the Enigma and Pilgrim were able to effortlessly maneuver out of their way, Tamin even indulging in a barrel roll.*
[11:26][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Show-off, helm.
[11:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:lol

[11:28][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Jill] "Alright, alright... well, it's better than the rough design we did for the shuttle, but not by much. It'll do the trick though.
[11:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks around confused..looks down at her console to reorient herself-
[11:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Taking us in, on you LT!

[11:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain tactical limitaiton we now have a blind spot on our fore ventral to intercepting phaser fire
[11:32][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim dove down, launching its aft torpedo after a barrage from their phasers. However, the Prowler they launched toward seemed to predict the move somehow and was able to just narrowly..
[11:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"undestood Mister Aquila, can you compensate?
[11:33][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:avoid being blown to pieces, coming back around after the Pilgrim to fire on her nacelles in revenge. *

[11:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--turns to Ain with a WTF look in her eyes.-
[11:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nothing good, I bet.
[11:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "The Nirizeans are telepaths... one of the servitor species. An enigma even to many of us.
[11:35][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:So they could read our tactics
[11:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "You may have seen some; tall. Pale. Black eyed.
[11:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It is possible.

[11:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If we had, say... a device that blocked telepathic influences.
[11:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Would that affect the Nirizean cluster?
[11:36][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin looked over, recalling his brief experience with one
[11:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I have training in resisting telepathic intrusions...but we hardly have time to teach that to the rest of you.
[11:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps we don't have to
[11:36][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I was more thinking Salvation protocols, Captain.
[11:36][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Prowler blasted away at them, lighting up their shields and rapidly draining them, though they held for now.*
[11:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captian aft shields down 46 percent
[11:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Salvation protocols, or using Vaax as a battering ram against them.

[11:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "One against a cluster? You would go mad.
[11:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:". can we transfer emergency power to shields?
[11:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I would prefer using the Salavation protocols as opposed to risking Ensign Istrins life.
[11:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If the ensign could figure out the ship they are on
[11:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Captain! The Scyrthi are arriving!
[11:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"He would have to be very stealthy about that.
[11:39][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Shields are holding..
[11:39][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We would have a target that could criple the fleet
[11:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle tell them I said welcome to the party.
[11:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Captain?
[11:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checks the tactical scanner
[11:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"When the scyrthi are here... might be a good idea to break off and go to the wormhole.
[11:40][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** They could see the Scorphyr dropping into the system with two older-model Scyrthi vessels flanking her, diving into the fray and blowing the ship that was pursuing the Pilgrim into smithereens.*
[11:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It'd be beneficial to capture that probe alive.
[11:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...We are sort of busy at the moment Lieutenant.
[11:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I know, but it would go a long way towards helping us understand the advancements they made in their technology, and possible counters.
[11:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Why have they not retreated toward the wormhole, the balance is rapidly shifting against them
[11:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle give me the Enigma.
[11:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That woudl be why
[11:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Multiple vessles inbound from the wormhole
[11:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"figures..
[11:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:40, consistent with fighters
[11:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "So they kept the big ship behind and just launched through the wormhole..?
[11:43][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we are going to need to take out that worm hole before they send any more ships in.
[11:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She stared at the screen, her face going pale.
[11:43][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is also possible the larger vessle is hiding in the gas giant
[11:44][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Miss Ain
[11:44][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain if the kirtascaans can with draw we might wish to by them time. Mjolnir should be minutes out
[11:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle get me the Kirtascan ship on screen and the Enigma.
[11:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Hey... aboard those fighters.
[11:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Just one person, none tanausan. All are conquered races.
[11:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Yes... they're... sacrificial vessels.
[11:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Damn...
[11:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...dammit.
[11:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And they are on a collision intercept course
[11:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain, I can attemtp to have interceptor fire be for disable but it will reduce our effectiveness
[11:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Can we lock onto the pilots with transporters?
[11:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Maybe a few, but there's so many...
[11:48][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Why are their sacrifices in them? Are they a part of the ships systems? or indoctrinated pilots
[11:48][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As the fighters closed in on them, the remaining Prowlers broke off and started hurtling back toward the wormhole.*
[11:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very well...we will defend ourselves as best we can...I think it is time we began our retreat.
[11:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Does the engima have any telepaths?
[11:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--shrugs-
[11:49][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Maybe if Vaax and another powerful telepath worked together, they could affect some of the fighters... maybe.
[11:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle Give me a fleet wide channel.
[11:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he started targetign the phasers,
[11:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "They believe this is the only way that those of the inferior races can bring themselves the hounour of a true Tanausan... even if it's post mortem.
[11:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "You're on ma'am.
[11:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"That's shit.
[11:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "You're telling me.
[11:51][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he frowned, waiting for what the captain had to say
[11:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This is T'Pang of the Pilgrim, the approaching fighters are piloted by Tanausan servitor races and are on a suicide mission. I think now is a good time to stage a strategiv withdrawl rather tha
[11:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Taps out a tex.t
[11:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:forcing ourselves to engage them.
[11:52][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** On-screen, they could see the Mjolnir arriving and going to join the others. *
[11:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"The damaged vessel can with draw first the rest of us can cover them..then pull back when theya re away,
[11:53][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Frowns at his screen as he texts.
[11:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "The Enigma is signalling agreement, Captain.
[11:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I want to avoid destroying any of the fighter if possible, but defend yourselves as best you can.
[11:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"pilgrim out..
[11:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle signal the Kirtascans to withdraw...
[11:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Ay--- oh!
[11:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--gives Gayle a look-
[11:55][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** On-screen, they could see one of the little fighters slamming into the side of the Protector's Spear.*
[11:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'll try to paint an area in polarons to confuse the fighters' targeting system-... Oh.
[11:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They're zeroes.
[11:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Damn, we need to cover the Protector's Spear.
[11:56][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Tactical open fire on the fighters.
[11:56][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Protector's Spear started to turn about. *
[11:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:For lethal effect or disable
[11:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"try to disable, see how that goes.
[11:57][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Tried to help Aquila's targeting by painting fighters for him, using their engines' signatures.
[11:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"have the prowlers returned throught the gate?
[11:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** They could see the Mjolnir already starting to take down the little fighters as they swarmed in too close, as did the Scyrthi.*
[11:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No captain they are still retreating
[11:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain there is a gap int he fighter screen, we may be able to reach ahead of the fighters, with a micro warp jump
[11:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"they are going to close the gate when the Prowlers get through.
[11:58][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:If we force them to suffer an actual defeat here, they may be hesitent to attack the same way again
[11:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "But we could capture their probe before they go...
[11:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Aquila and Gayle.
[11:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's worth a shot.
[12:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right let try to warp in ahead of them and grab the probe.
[12:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"helm set up for a micro warp jump..
[12:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Everyone hold on to something..." *She started tapping furiously on her console.
[12:00][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Clipped his seatbelt on.
[12:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She grabbed on to her console.
[12:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he grabbed onto the console
[12:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Punching it!" *She hit the button.
[12:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--grabs onto her seat.--
[12:03][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim leapt forward through warp toward the wormhole... a bit too close. As soon as Tamin took them out the wormhole was looming right before them, about to swallow them up. *
[12:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "TAMIN GOD DAMN IT!!
[12:03][DOIC3]Zorin Li@ClingingMar:Prophets..
[12:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"cutting it a little close there Helm...
[12:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he scanned
[12:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"where is the probe?
[12:03][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aquiring target
[12:04][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Before they could react the Pilgrim was pulled in through the wormhole, tumbling down, down, down into darkness... *
[12:04][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** TO BE CONTINUED. *
[12:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..."
