Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:25 PM

*He beamed down with his guards and Jammie, the guards went on ahead as he stood there, pressing the button on his wrist.* "Send the invitation." *He looked at Jammie as he continued to speak.* "Time to give a proper welcome to the Federation, yet again..."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:27 PM

“What do you have planned? What invitation? Why are we here?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:30 PM

"My plans are mine alone, the invitation is a mystery and we are here for buisness." *He walked after the guards.* "You can stay and die of dehydration, or you can follow and have some water. Not the best of choices, I know. But one will elongate your lifespan whilst the other will shorten it to 3 days tops." *He turned to him.* "If you don't get caught in a duststorm that is."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:32 PM

“I think I will take my chances here then away from you, and you mysterious suicidal plan.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:35 PM

*He looked up, a big, dragon like creature flew over them.* "Well, no weapons, no shields, no water. Taking your chances is more suicidal then going with me I'm afraid."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:36 PM

*He looked up at the creature and then at the man* “I am only coming with you so I can be found when you are arrested or killed.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:38 PM

"Fair enough, I'd be happy to accept that fate." *He walked with him.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:45 PM

*Jammie walked behind and to the left of him making mental notes if there surroundings.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:47 PM

"Do you know where this is, Jammie?" *he said suddenly, still walking towards a nearby mountain range.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:49 PM

*Jammie looked around and shook his head* “Am I meant to know where this is?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:52 PM

"No, but your crew apperantly just did." *He pulled up a hologram of the conference room, showing an Orion and Human lifesigh and the computerscreen with the plaet they were standing on.* "This was my home, until it was destroyed in a nuclear war."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:52 PM

“So? You lost your home? So did I, what does this have todo with a federation? What did we do to your people?”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:56 PM

"You came." *He simply said as he continued walking, the enviorment getting more rocky.*

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:56 PM

“We came that is impossible, we only started exploration here in the last decade, this place looks like it has been hundreds of year.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 02:57 PM

"Do your people know the Krenim, Jammie?"

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 02:59 PM

*Jammie stoped and thought* “Yeah I think we have interacted with them, just like a lot of other races.”

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:01 PM

"They provided the weapons we used, It accelerated the time of the planet. In one day, the planet aged 500 years." *He stood on a rock and looked at the creature flying over them, lurking in the distance was another.* "We should hurry."

Deleted User 28-Nov-20 03:03 PM

“I still don’t understand what this has todo with Starfleet or the federation?” *He stayed close to him.*

Kal'cesh Cetack BOT 28-Nov-20 03:06 PM

*He sighed, starting to climb the mountainside.* "When your people entered the detal quadrant, my people got desperate. Desperate to know you, desperate for more power, desperate to rule Earth. We watched you and observed you, made notes, shared it with the coucil. But there was a disagreement which caused the temporal fallout. Our planet died, our people soon after. I was one of few to escape and survive. But all the others came back too early and aged 500 years with the planet and died." *he looked down at him.* "Your people are the cause of this, not mine." *He climbed ontop of the #mountain-range.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:03 PM

*Tim surveyed the outlying plains around the team, choosing to stand atop a rock with a set of binoculars.* "Can confirm- it *is* desert..." *Hopefully a bit of humor would make it easier.*

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:04 PM

*Hughes has never understood why you'd beam down into a combat zone instead of taking a shuttle, but the officers said to transport, so they transported. He quickly counts his appendages and checks his equipment before taking a position beside the Doctor.* "Yes, what a shame. I was hoping for a winter wonderland."

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:04 PM

[D] *In the distance there was the temporal fallout, trees popping up and decaying at incredible rates.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 04:07 PM

*Rownan looks around with the others and pulls out a tricorder to scan for life.*

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:07 PM

*This catches Hughes' eye, and he looks over at the trees, using his rifle's scope to get a better look.* "Uh. There's something going on. Ninety degrees left of the sun's direction, about three hundred metres. Trees appearing and disappearing. Somehow I doubt it's someone's attempt at an ornamental garden."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:07 PM

*Tim acknowledged, squinting in the direction of the trees.* "Hologram, maybe?"

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 04:08 PM

*Jordan looked sound watching the area.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:09 PM

"Spread out. We will take a diamond formation. Jordan take point. Petty Officer in the center with the Commander and the Doctor. Commander, if you could remain in contact with the Athena and the Odyssey for any updates?"

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 04:09 PM

*Row nods and takes position as ordered.*

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:09 PM

"Aye, I'll open a channel right now." *He tapped on his CommBadge.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:09 PM

"I domt think its a hologram, it has temporal signatures. We should be carefull with our every step" *he has his rifle ready* (edited)

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:10 PM

"It could be a hologram, but why would someone make that? Better to assume it's some natural phenomenon. Temporal signatures sound ominous, sir. We'd better not go anywhere near." *Hughes lowers his rifle from the aim as he takes up the stated position, pointing it upwards to avoid pointing the weapon at anyone else, but not in such a way that it can't be immediately dropped and fired.* (edited)

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:10 PM

*Sa'val nodded, looking ahead for any cover they could use to move in with.*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:11 PM

[D] *The only cover there was were the rocks at the mountain range.*

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:12 PM

"Do we know where the Captain is, sirs? I'd rather not have to search this entire planet."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:12 PM

"Well- that's a bit disconcerting. Temporal Sciences always bothered me." *He looked to Row.* "Doctor- are you picking up anything?"

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 04:13 PM

*Jordan held his phaser out as he began to move forward.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:13 PM

*he lookes across the area* "a good point for an ambush" *he picks up his tricorder and scans the area*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:14 PM

[D] *ping ping! 5 lifesigns, one human, 3 makonain, 1 lizard man. All over at the mountain range.* (edited)

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:15 PM

"Alright, Chief Warrant, take us out, but do not run away from us. Find us some cover positions so we can have the Doc scan the area and figure out what the Temporal Disturbances are." *Sa'val, last one to get in position, takes up the left flank of the diamond. That leaves Tim and Row in the center, Jason on the right flank, Hughes covering their rear and watching after the two in the middle, and J. Jordan out front.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:16 PM

"okay, they are at the mountain range. Three makonians, the lizard makonian and the captain" *he nods* "ome of the makonians is moving"

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 04:16 PM

*Jordan stoped.* “Sir with all due respect our mission is to get the captain not scan some trees.”

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:17 PM

"I appreicate your position, Chief Warrant Officer Jordan, but we are not going to get ourselves captured trying to save the Captain. We are getting to cover because we are too exposed here. Take us off towards the Mountains."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:17 PM

"These trees might be something significant, Mr. Jordan. Though I do agree- the mission should take precedent."

*He nodded to Sa'val.* "Following."

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:18 PM

*Hughes takes the rear position, kneeling for now as the team seems to not be moving.* "And a mountain to climb. Today gets better and better," *he mutters, before raising his voice to a normal volume.* "If we're not going to attempt to reach the Captain's position, then what are we doing here?"

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 04:18 PM

*Jordan began to walk forward leading the team as they looked for cover.*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:19 PM

[D] *The makonian popped up, grabbing something from the ground and walked away again. Looking at the away team with his scope, laying down to have cover.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:19 PM

*Sa'val gestured to Max.* "Take a position immediately in front of the Doctor and Commander. You will be right behind The Chief Warrant Officer."

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:20 PM

"To get a better point of observation" *he looks at his scanner* "Sor, what are the range estimates on makonian weaponary?"

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 04:20 PM

"Yes Sir." *He responded, taking the position immediately.* (edited)

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:21 PM

*Hughes pipes up.* "Whatever the range is, his limiting factor will be his ability to aim, unless his weapon is automated. And having read the open logs from our previous missions, I doubt these wolfmen would make good snipers. Nevertheless, caution and cover would be a good idea."

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:22 PM

"Then i suggest we take cover now, one is in range" *he looks around*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:23 PM

[D] *The makonian shot once, hitting a rock right next to them, less then a meter away from Richard. Don't tempt me.* (edited)

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:23 PM

*Sa'val nodded. Silently. As he had commanded CWO Jordan to find that cover.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:24 PM

(i will be driving home now, 20 minutes tops) *jason jumps to the side and and aims his rifle* "I dont have the precision on my rifle. Sa'Val?"

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:24 PM

*Tim hit the ground, rifle ready.* "Shit-!"

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 04:25 PM

*Row instinctively ducks at the sound of the fire. Tricorder still out.*

CWO1. J. Jordan BOT 28-Nov-20 04:25 PM

*Jordan saw the base of the mountain that had rocks* “Move to the mountain there are rocks!”

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:25 PM

*Hughes swears as he dives to the prone position away from the site of impact. Out in the open, precisely zero cover, wearing a black uniform in light coloured terrain... this isn't good.* "Permission to return fire?!" *In the Army, they'd have all fired back without hesitation. But this isn't the Army, it's Starfleet, and they do things different here.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:27 PM

"Bounding covering fire. Get the team to cover." *Sa'val dropped to a knee and sights his rifle on the target on the cliff. Once the chest fills his sight picture, he squeezes the trigger. Fully expecting the combat oriented to know what he meant (someone provides cover fire, while another moves up to cover) and expecting Hughes to protect the doctor and move with him to cover first as he is last in line.* (edited)

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:27 PM

[D] *The makonian shot again, this time he missed by less then a centimeter from Tim's arm.*

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 04:27 PM

*Max hit the ground as well.* "Well ye was right about their aim. Not the greatest." *He'd mutter, raising himself to a knee as well, awaiting orders to aid in covering fire.* (edited)

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:28 PM

"Supressing fire- get to cover!" *Tim fired in short, controlled bursts in the direction of enemy fire- even if he wasn't hitting anything, he'd been trained to drive an enemy off.*

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:29 PM

*Hughes returns fire, getting to his knees and moving in front of the Doctor. Lacking the time to fully aim at such long range and with a weapon designed more for short-range engagements, he focuses more on keeping the enemy's head down than actually hitting him.*

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:29 PM

[D] *The makonian simply backed off and dissappeared.*

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:30 PM

"I doubt we scared him off. He'll be reporting in, no doubt. We'll have to move quickly, before there are three of them on top of us. Are you alright, Doctor?"

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 04:30 PM

"Lost a visual." *He'd sweep the ridge, watching for an appearance.* (edited)

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:33 PM

*Sa'val looked slightly impressed that the Makonian can withstand a shot to the chest and signalled to everyone to rally up.* "Keep moving, eyes open. Next time we fall under fire, since it appears we have not trained with Bounding, we will keep it simple. Return fire, but priority is getting to better cover. Jordan and I will provide coving first for everyone else to advance since we are familiar with the technique. Move, everyone." *Sa'val made a mental note to offer training on this scenario for interested participants in the future.* (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:36 PM

*he had followed savals orders and now keeps his rifle checked om the mountain range* "many ambushpoints ahead of us."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:36 PM

*Tim followed the rest of the group, a little bit shaken, but not faltered.*

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:37 PM

"Aye, sir." *Hughes stands up, and helps the Doctor up.* "Stay near me, Doctor, and keep an eye out."

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:38 PM

*Sa'val gestured to Jason to switch with CWO1 Jordan.* "Jason, take point. Your senses may give us an edge on detecting those ambushes. Stay alert, but get us moving towards that cave." (edited)

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 28-Nov-20 04:38 PM

[D] *A malkonian Soldier That was hidden In a hard to find spot opened fire and hit the ground so close to them all*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:39 PM

"Cover! Jason. You and I will advance while the rest cover us!" *Sa'val opened fire on the area where the Solider was last seen at.*

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 04:39 PM

“Yes sir.” *He stayed close not wanting to get shot.*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:40 PM

*he nods and grins* "Aye." *he walks in front and breathes in as tge shot came down, he rolls forwards and reaches out telepathically* "Aye" *he heads forward, firing in short bursts*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:41 PM

*Sa'val moves forward parallel with Jason up to the next bit of cover, rifle to his shoulder, firing occasional shots.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 28-Nov-20 04:41 PM

[D] *The soldier moved around as if he was flanking them and fired in short 3 blasts every 2 seconds. One of them was a centimetre away from isker*

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:41 PM

*Hughes immediately returns two hastily aimed shots before taking a knee and laying down continuous covering fire, shuffling to the side every ten seconds or so.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:41 PM

*When the Solider breaks from his cover, Sa'val gets a clear sight picture and leads his target. Pressing the trigger right when his sights are where the markonian is going to be.* (edited)

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:42 PM

*Tim leaned with his back against a rock- he had expected combat. He was prepared. He quickly popped from cover and fired around the marksman, hoping to pin him.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 28-Nov-20 04:43 PM

[D] *the malkonian Soldier was wearing armour and it sustained a bit if damage but not enough to Hurt them. The soldier moved away so he's not spotted*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:43 PM

*he doesnt flinch from the near miss and goes into cover, closing his eyes* "Okay, now i am pissed" *he growls as he scans the area telepathically, then raises his hand to point where the makonian runs, sensing savals intention he send an image of a burnt makonian to the running one in an attempt to scare him*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:44 PM

*A difficult feat since the whole group is watching him. Sa'val continues keeping track of the Solider as he finds cover and continues to fire at his target.*

Lt. JG Jules Jordan 28-Nov-20 04:45 PM

[D] *The malkonian Soldier ran*

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:47 PM

"slipery bastard." *he grits his teeth* "But we are getting closer" *he looks at the tricorder* "hm, topology and lifesigns dont add up, the tricorder says the captain is inside the rock?"

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:47 PM

*Once the Solider was out of cover again, Sa'val took another sight picture, right on the back of the Malkonian Solider, and fires three times in quick succession.* (edited)

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:48 PM

*Hughes, however, is not a telepath, and sends a number of phaser bursts towards the running soldier in an attempt to further scare him.* "If the Captain's inside the rock, that means there's a hole in the rock. One we should be able to find, and to force open."

Lt Cmdr. Tim Arden 28-Nov-20 04:49 PM

"Or, it could be... the rock isn't what it seems."

Lt. Xander Spica 28-Nov-20 04:49 PM

[D] *The makonian got hit twice before he rolled away, shooting back as he dissappeared into the mountains.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:50 PM

*Sa'val nodded.* "Nice shooting, Hughes. Jason, back on target. See if we can find a cave. Doc, any scans to support Ti...the Commander's concerns?" (edited)

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:51 PM

*he nods and heads forward from cover to cover* "Maybe they hid the cave. With an enemy like this its better to expect everything"

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:52 PM

*Sa'val nodded.* "Absolutely right. Check your fields of fire. Check every angle. They may behind any rock. We might have to up our settings from full stun, our shots are having little to no effect on them." (edited)

Lt. JG Max Leòideach 28-Nov-20 04:52 PM

"They might have caved it in too. No reason to assume they haven't."

PO3. Richard Hughes 28-Nov-20 04:53 PM

*Hughes hears the complement as he checks his weapon's setting.* "Thank you sir." *Hughes thinks for a moment.* "I assume our friend Mister Dog there takes orders from whoever's holding the Captain, meaning there's most likely still a way in."

Lt. Jason Isker 28-Nov-20 04:53 PM

"Ayr." *he switches to lethal and keeps an eye on the tricorder* "It gets harder in the mountains to get a good lock on moving targets"

Lt. Girak Mayott 28-Nov-20 04:54 PM

*Rownan stays down and close to Hughes with a phaser out.*

Lt. Sa'val Stryker 28-Nov-20 04:55 PM

*Sa'val nodded, switched his rifle to lethal. He sighed internally that the DMs have made this necessary as Jason leads them into the #mountain-range.* (edited)
