[5:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is replaced by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNw2UShKQfk tonight. *
[5:59][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The episode opens to the Pilgrim and friends, the Sanger and Jeanne d’Arc, loping through the cosmic fields on their way to the next adventure
[5:59][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:The view cuts away to scenes from across the ship as everyone is once more acclimated to shipboard life
[5:59][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Koros pulls a freshly baked carrot cake from the oven and adds it to a stack that was nearing the kitchen ceiling..
[5:59][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Orestes sleeps in blissful ignorance through her third alarm..
[6:00][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Zohle and Caila both help kick Brandt out of engineering until he takes a proper shower..
[6:00][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Nurse Maggie fixes the position of a picture of her brother Ricky so it would be facing the stars from her window..
[6:00][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Teir meticulously reviews security protocols, drawing a guffaw from Ettore from the back of the room when he produces a slideshow…
[6:00][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Ain Laudrenate arrives on the bridge in an enlisted uniform, sharing a respectful nod with Gayle and the others before standing behind the command railing..
[6:01][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:At last, T’Pang stands before the viewscreen, facing the great, star-scattered darkness once more. Her log can be heard. *
[6:01][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 99646.87, Our holiday leave has come to a close. I hope the crew is well rested, as it looks like we are being dropped right back into the action.
[6:03][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:The Pilgrim, with the USS Sanger and the Jeanne d'Arc are on route to investigate anomalous readings in the region of space between Beryxian and Coln space. The readings could indicate a wormhole ..
[6:05][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:creation in the area. I have been told that a Kirtascan taskforce will also be in the area scouting for incursions by Apostate forces. Such an incusions seems likily since the area is advantageous ..
[6:08][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:a place from which to launch a new Imperial offensive. Especially if the Coln were to join them. The region is still largely unexplored so lots of potential places to secretly rally their forces
[6:08][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:End Log
[6:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she hands the log recorder off to the yoeman.-
[6:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm what is our ETA to the first waypoint?
[6:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Ten minutes, give or take ma'am.
[6:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*looked at his console
[6:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Sensors, any contacts out there
[6:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Kirtascan patrols on long range sensors, it looks like the new dreadnoughts have entered service
[6:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor kept on his scans.
[6:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles to Marcus- Good to hea
[6:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Take a look at the registry. The Protector's Claw... captained by one Lord Commander Silverstein.
[6:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it will be a pleasant change having more big guns on our side.
[6:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor tried to hold back a chuckle.
[6:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I'd wondered where Silver had gone off to after Kirtas.
[6:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Just jangle a bag of coins and he'll be there to support us.
[6:12][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Good for hi
[6:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"interesting.
[6:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Fancy flagging them down for a chat, Captain?
[6:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Sure why not. We can see if they have anything to report yet.
[6:15][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I'm sure his crew would be starstruck with the former avatar of the Protector and the hero of Kirtas on the same call.
[6:16][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*shakes her head as she looks back to her paperwork after being temporarily distracted by the bridge monitor.
[6:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am sure it will be a thrilling experience for them.
[6:16][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They are on an intercept course with us.
[6:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"are we in comms range?
[6:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We will be shortly.
[6:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Hitting the waypoint now, Captain.
[6:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She arrived on the bridge with an iced coffee, walking to her station and sitting down.
[6:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Excellent, Let do our sweep. Science and Tactical let me know if you see anything significant.
[6:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aye captain
[6:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh, good, I missed the boring part.
[6:19][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*To Orestes.* "Good job checking the experiment.
[6:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You're welcome, boss.
[6:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No enemy contacts captain, Protectors claw entering AO
[6:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We're being hailed, ma'am.
[6:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"alright, let's say hello. Put them on screen.
[6:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Gayle pushed a few buttons, and the screen changed to show Silver seated on a Kirtascan command chair. He was wearing heavy Kirtascan armour modified for a human frame, his hair was buzzed close..
[6:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to his skull but still clearly his natural silver shade, and there were dozens of ribbons pinned to his armour... and he was grinning widely.* "Hey, guys!
[6:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"It is most agreeable to see you again Silver, is it captain now?
[6:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Silver] "Lord Commander, Anointed of the Protector, Defender of the Faith... crazy, right? Starfleet doesn't even have lords.
[6:25][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles
[6:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"No, I had to settle for captain. Is this a promotion or a demotion from your last position?
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Silver] "I mean, technically a demotion, but it was for the best, ultimately. Thanks for taking care of me when we split, by the way. The meat brain kind of went into shock.
<Gap>
[6:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Silver] "We should get back on our patrol. It only gets harder from here. Good hunting.
[6:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Indeed, it will be good working with you again.
[6:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Gives Silver a nod and goes back to his scanny scanns.
[6:43][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-offers a Klingon salute
[6:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Silver] *He gave a Starfleet salute and the screen went back to normal.
[6:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"You know what I was thinking? Humans had this old conspiracy theory about jewish people running everything... if Jesus Christ was a jew, and Silver is a jew... Wouldn't that be kinda correct?
[6:44][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin glanced over to the klingon
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "He's not running things any more, he's just been... uh... knighted and sainted?
[6:44][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:What is a jewish human
[6:44][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Oh, hey... We got some remarkably young stars, still totally bereft of any planetoids.
[6:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Jesus Christ never ran anything, his fame arose after his execution.
[6:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Just one of their religious faiths, Commander. They believe in... candles, I think.
[6:45][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nodnods- Oh I se
[6:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"He's running stuff from heaven, though.
[6:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh yeah, that'd be expected. Akaiore is like a girl at a Thai ping pong show, this whole region is the crowd.
[6:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"In their faith.
[6:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor snorted back a laugh at Orestes' comment, then nodded.* "Makes sense, we are in the vicinity.
[6:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I um What
[6:46][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*instead of face palming, lays her forhead into her desk loud enough to be heard outside of her office.
[6:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Have you ever been to a thai ping pong show? The ball... well. It doesn't get launched normally.
[6:46][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I have not.
[6:46][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-rubs the bridge of her nose
[6:47][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*groans and turns off the bridge monitor
[6:47][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-wills herself to not ask how it is launched
[6:47][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Well, Akaiore was discovered by the Adagio years back. It expels new stars into this region.
[6:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I see.
[6:47][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Bites his lower lip not to add to Orestes' comment.
[6:47][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I understand now.
[6:47][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T"pang sighs a deep long suffering sort of sigh-
[6:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Captain? We're receiving a long range communication... directly. A ship called the Athynax?
[6:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"well put them on.
[6:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Voice] "This is an automated distress call. Vessel Athynax under attack. Repeat, this is an automated distress call...
[6:50][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*checks registries
[6:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...A -direct- automated distress call?
[6:50][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maura] "Sent directly to us?
[6:50][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Did we have a location of origin
[6:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks quite concerned-- "Do we have a fix on that signal?
[6:50][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"This stinks worse than Amanar's jock strap.
[6:51][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smiles at TPang
[6:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Beryxian cruiser, Royal Beryxian Navy
[6:51][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he pulled up the file in the PIP to the viewscreen
[6:51][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Crew compliment
[6:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Ooooooh..." *He hummed to himself when he heard Aquila.
[6:51][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Yes, ma'am... a bit out of our way.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm plot an intercept course on that position and engage maximum warp.
[6:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:two hundred and thirty crew. 50 of which are officers
[6:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Its one of their larger vessels
[6:52][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Marcus
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Take us to red alert.
[6:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Her battle group is one of two deepspace flotillas
[6:53][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:That exist in the beryxian navy
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Course laid in, ma'am... engaging.
[6:53][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:How many in her battle group
[6:54][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim leapt to warp. *
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle alert the Sanger and the Jeanne d'Arc we are responding to a distress call.
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor fired up the program Allaya had helped him perfect.* "Let's see how you work, baby.
[6:54][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Shit" *she locks down her reports, and turns the bridge monitor back on, keying up a report from the computer as to the reason for red alert.
[6:54][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-keys the Red Alert signal to all decks
[6:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Two scout ships, 1 escort and the Athynax
[6:54][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They have not had a chance to modernize much of their homefleet
[6:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Combined firepower equivalent to a 2230s Constitution group
[6:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "And if the Imperium starts messing with this region they'll be effectively boxed into their borders with their navy's numbers.
[6:55][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods- We might assume the group itself was attacked the
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Preparing to go full EWAR.
[6:55][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I recommend red alert captain
[6:56][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The ship was at red alert, the GM just missed it. *
[6:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor turns on his suites to be prepared in case they got jumped.
[6:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Be maitained
[6:56][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:I concu
[6:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We have to assume that their dsitress call ie because of an attack, until such time as we find out differently.
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--as she stands there staring at the screen, T'Pang wrings her hands nervously.-
[6:58][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He watched his scannies as they moved
[6:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Detecting debris captain, consitent with Beryxian Scout vessel
[6:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Weapon signaturs are Imperium
[6:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And Beryxian
[6:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"understood." --her eyes narrow as she watches the screen-
[6:59][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Now we kno
[7:00][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Do we have a time frame on the battle
[7:00][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*CMO queues medical supplies for replication to suit beryxian physiology and synth-blood needa
[7:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Running decay patterns
[7:00][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods
[7:00][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I see more debris... not enough to be an actual ship, but chunks the beryxians got bit off of them.
[7:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No evidence of imperium debris
[7:01][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Whatever fire they had here was likely ineffective. Time of battle was 8 standard hours ago
[7:01][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Captain...the Imperium had to know someone of the Allies would investigate..
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Way I see it, we may still got survivors.
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Or at least the battle moved onwards.
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i they are looking for a fight then they found one.
[7:02][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-smilesd at that- Music to my ears captai
[7:02][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..they will come to regret it.
[7:03][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Five minutes, ma'am.
[7:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"acknowledged helm.
[7:03][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Captain...the Salvation Protocols
[7:03][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Be ready, they are reporting Beryxian surviviors of combat action, we may be busy shortly." *she warns her team
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods- "have them on standby.
[7:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'm still trying to figure out why only we got the distress call. You think it wasn't the Beryxians who sent it?
[7:04][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:If there is a cluster with the attackers..
[7:04][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It was either the imperium, or some beryxians who knew could trust us.
[7:04][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*maintianed vigilance
[7:05][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Marcus standy ready on the Protocols pleas
[7:05][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Aye commander
[7:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--looks over at what Orestes just said, then looks at the main screen with doubt in her eyes.-
[7:07][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim and her entourage dropped down out of warp to see the magestic Athynax stationary in space, a few telltale shots to its engine section giving away its state. Floating nearby, almost..
[7:08][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:as if someone had posed their kills, was the other two ships in the convoy, meticulously carved apart and left open to space for them to see. *
[7:08][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[T'Ghor and Aquila roll
[7:09][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:They went down fighting...and are displayed as...trophie
[7:09][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-snarls
[7:09][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor went wide eyed a few moments, clearing his throat before looking back down to his scans.
[7:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"any life signs..
[7:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Definitely an imperium attack. The beryxian fleet stood no chance
[7:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No life signs, Captain.
[7:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:and still they fought...admirable
[7:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Uh... Captain?
[7:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"..yes.
[7:11][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Power at all on anyof the ships..-looks over
[7:11][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Is your... combadge on the Athynax?
[7:12][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Damn, stand down people. New report is no life signs.
[7:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The Athynax still has power
[7:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"...what are you reading.
[7:12][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-nods to Marcus
[7:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"...Your combadge.
[7:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It is likely they were ambushed when they stopped to acertaint he location of their scout
[7:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-to T'Pang- Did you misplace a combadge during any of Breyxians visits
[7:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Misplace...no.
[7:13][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:...lose one
[7:13][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It's your old combadge.
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The one from when we were captured on the Yanda station.
[7:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Debris patterns are not consistent with damage. This was definitely staged
[7:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:I beleive someone is sending you a message captain
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Nods to Aquila.* "Coupled with the combadge, I believe... yeah, exactly.

[7:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She strode over to take the big chair.
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang steps on the lift, looking like she is going to a funeral.-
[7:18][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:-reads something

[7:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "You're sure?

[7:19][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila stepped into the armor alcove
[7:19][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:Yes commander
[7:19][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"At least that mistake is not being made again.
[7:19][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Royal] "I can put you right into the bridge. That's where the signal is coming from.
[7:20][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:You and I will go first
[7:20][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Then send us there.
[7:20][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he nodded to the captain to allow him and vaax to clear it first
[7:20][DOIC5]Istrin@the5of43:Aye.. *he finished getting his gear on
[7:20][DOIC5]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Very well Mister Aquila.
[7:20][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dr Delancey sets up a biomonitor linkage through the com badges to monitor each of the away team.
[7:20][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he activated the helmet and checked his weapon.* But our backs to a wall if you can Royal
[7:21][DOIC5]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We are ready captain
[7:21][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Royal] "Will do. You ready?

[7:21][DOIC5]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Royal] *He wooshed them over.
[7:22][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Brak, keep a good eye on sensors. If it were me, right now is when I'd spring the trap." *He was scanning himself.
[7:22][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:The trap is on that shi
[7:23][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Aquila and Istrin arrive on a Beryxian bridge filled with carnage. The golden-skinned people have been massacred, either shot repeatedly or laying on the ground with dried blood on their ears..
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"It would make no sense to only trap the away team. I'd have a ship or two waiting nearby.
[7:23][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:noses and eyes. They can hear the sound of a weak rasp.
[7:23][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:As would I..but they want /her
[7:23][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he cleared the bridge left to right
[7:23][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Vaax what do you sense. I hear something
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Kinda stupid to kidnap her and leave us alive. They know you'd bite through steel to get her back.
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Wait! Shit!
[7:24][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:What
[7:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*He tried scanning for power still running on the beryxian ship.
[7:24][DOIC6]Istrin@the5of43:Pain..unbearable pain
[7:24][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he made his way to the center chair
[7:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Well, this situation and proximity is perfect for a lovely warp core overload... but for now, power seems normal.
[7:24][DOIC1]Valkriss@Isis:Shge has power TGho
[7:24][DOIC6]Istrin@the5of43:*he moved to clear the bridge
[7:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"No, I thought that the other ship may be rigged to blow.

[8:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They are off datalink
[8:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain.. We could send a DCT team to fight the fire
[8:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Shit, it would probably be easier to just beam a DCT team--- what he said!
[8:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How much time do they have?
[8:25][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:At the rate the fire is advancing. 4 minutes
[8:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Assuming they aren't hit with another phantom missile.

[8:30][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Suddenly there is an explosion on the screen as all the mines T'Ghor was gathering went off prematurely. *

[8:30][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Royal] "Yes ma'am!" *He sent her over.
[8:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--gives T'Ghor a look-
[8:31][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Shit! Loading another probe.
[8:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle keep a lock on our away team, we may need to pull them back if they can't get things under control over there.

[8:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Launches another probe as soon as it's ready to pick up where the previous one left over, putting it on the same path.
[8:35][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he pushed the button to do the full reinforce
[8:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Understood.
[8:36][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The fire is practically bellowing, the heat scorching her armour as it burned through the ship's hull.
[8:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:VAMPIRE VAMPIRE on course for uss. firing interceptor fire
[8:37][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:-held her groud and took on the fire as if it was a personal enemy doing all she can to keep it away from the magazines, roaring at the fire- Today is a good day to die
[8:37][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Jupiters cock right when we switched... hold on
[8:38][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim reinforces the Sanger as the missiles slammed into the other ship, the blow softened by the shield extension but not enough to save it from damage
[8:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh shit, brace!!
[8:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor was already braced and his seatbelt on like a good klink.
[8:39][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:The missile came whirling toward the Pilgrim darting past Aquila's phaser fire, slamming toward the hull..
[8:40][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:And then suddenly simply stops, completely inert meters from the hull. *
[8:40][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*curses in a very unlady like fashion, as she struggles to sew vitals back together with the ship bouncing about while her, her nurses and patient are held in force field grip but her hands are not.
[8:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I guess that's Silver!
[8:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Missile is stopped... right outside... your quarters captain I don't think it was silver... this missiles has warehead..
[8:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Couldn't be... he's not body buddies with the Protector any more.
[8:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Interesting.
[8:41][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The missile suddenly exploded, rocking the ship. *
[8:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:It self destructed

[8:42][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:She is toying with us
[8:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Growled and kept moving onwards through the path teh previous probe carved, trying to continue what he started.
[8:43][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The flames suddenly exploded outward at Valkriss as it ignited a fuel container somewhere in the blaze, knocking her off her feet and throwing her into the back wall.
[8:44][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** T'Ghor's probe set off on its task, starting to collect its own following of mines. *
[8:44][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:-slams hard into the wall and slumps to the ground, snarling in pain as she tries to fight her way back toher feet and keep fighting the fireto drive it back from the magazine despite her injuries
[8:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Captain... we're being hailed.
[8:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"open a channel

[8:47][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] So nice to see you again. Obviosuly I have you at a disadvantage
[8:47][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Caila and Zohle arrived then in their gear, moving in quickly to help battle the flames. Valkriss could see sparks jumping toward a crate of grenades.
[8:48][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] Allow me to be breif. *she says an order in tanuasan
[8:48][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A weak but rhythmic heartbeat from the flayed man indicated to Dahlia that in spite of the incredible odds she'd saved him from death, but from the state of his body she is not sure she was doing..
[8:48][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:him a favor.
[8:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Suddenly, all the mines appeared on the sensor readouts. *
[8:49][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] I gave you your life in trade for my Penance on the station. That meant we had books to balance for you see. That was you having the advantage. And I don't submit. Now I would make you be
[8:49][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:for your life... but we both know you aren't ready for that yet
[8:50][DOIC6]Valkriss@Isis:-moves in between Caila and Zohle trying to extinguish the fire near the crate warning- COVER! GRENADES
[8:50][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] So consider this... your first lash. I have you bound. And i have you at my mercy
[8:50][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] *she laughed
[8:50][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] but this is the foreplay... not the main event. I trust you can get out of this now that you can see all your shackles captain
[8:51][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*saedis was toying with her whip in her hand
[8:51][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"The field is enormous... no way a single ship can drop all those.

[8:52][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:the shock.
[8:52][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] Oh yoru beast is right... except if you look closely.. they are replicating. An interesting technology for a force peace to invent
[8:52][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang listens silently-
[8:53][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] Oh captain haven't gagged you you may speak
[8:53][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Just as Valkriss put herself between the grenades and the engineers the box went off. Suddenly, all Valkriss knows is intense pain... and then darkness.
[8:53][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will manage from here. Did you have anything elsse?
[8:54][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] *laughed* No not for now. One parting gift Captain
[8:54][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*she allowed the camera to track to her right and on the wall suspended but unharmed was Ryle, she ha even left his sunglasses on
[8:54][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Seadis] Do you like my new canvas
[8:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She looked at her console with alarm, but didn't interrupt and instead had Valkriss beamed immediately to sickbay.
[8:56][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Suddenly, the alert went off and Valkriss appeared with massive burn injuries.
[8:57][DOIC]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Rheas] *Sat near Ryle on a tactical console, playfully tossing a little mine-shaped stress ball up and down.
[8:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I am coming for your new canvas, so I would not get to comfortable.
[8:57][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Maggie, please take care of this... damn.. I have another emergency t see to." *She leaves the stasis prep to the well trained nurse to work on her friend.
[8:57][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] I look forward to it captain. Until then
[8:57][DOIC]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*the comm cut

[8:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"understood. are our Damage control teams back aboard?
[8:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They are assiting jeanne with repairs. Sanger reports casualities but no fatalities
[8:59][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"How'd the bastards get their hands on replicating mines...
[8:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Understood, clear us a path so we can get out of here.
[8:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Any of the people they've kidnapped and tortured for information, perhaps?
[8:59][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:They had Lt Jillian Zori
[9:00][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"True enough...
[9:02][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] Patrol point 7 helm
[9:02][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Pilgrim and Jeanne d'Arc begin to tow the Sanger out of the minefield... meanwhile, the camera cuts away to Saedis Vex's command chamber. *
[9:02][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*The doctor goes through her steps, breathing through each and trying to maintain conscious detachment and using the methods the counselors taught her to get through.
[9:02][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Rheas] "No more missiles, Captain?
[9:03][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] No... for nwo they've tasted defeat. It is enough. The logner you tenderize the meat the more sweet it is to cut
[9:03][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Seadis] *walked into the command chamber after they moved ryle motioning for penance to follow
[9:03][DOIC6]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[Rheas] *Nodded and went back to usual tactical scannies.
[9:03][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She followed silently at her side.
[9:03][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*She walked up to ryle and leaned close tracing his chest.
[9:04][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He was silent, jaw set to not give her the satisfaction of a reaction.
[9:04][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] Your kind have fought for so long against her, you struggle and scream and stomp your feet like a child unwilling to take medicine. We do not hold it against you, you are ingorant, your.
[9:05][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Ancestors made you ingrorant, raised you in heresy unwilling to accept the limits neeeded to reach your full potential. Instead of the entitled self serving child. Order always triumphs over choas
[9:06][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*seh gave him a little cut on his cheek
[9:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ryle] *He hissed softly.
[9:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] but you knew that already didn't you...*she licked the little drop of blood off his cheek* prince? You see your people for what they are... misguided, helpless, in need of strong leadership
[9:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:renewed faith
[9:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:You have dedicated your life to saving them from themselves
[9:07][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] Penance will guide you
[9:08][DOIC6]Aquila@Captain_Rien:[Saedis]*stepped back and nodded to the nizarean
[9:08][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Penance] *She stepped forward then.* "You are already so close to your destiny..." *She raised her hand up over his face.* "You only need a little push.
[9:09][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The resulting screams echo through the Imperium vessel for all to hear... and the credits roll. *
[9:11][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As the Pilgrim extracts itself from the mine field, we return to our heroes for the post-credits sequences. *
[9:11][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila slammed his hand on his console the armed clove crackign the screen
[9:12][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dr Delancey will be spending much of the next few hours healing Valkriss, then developing a surgical plan to try to restore the Beryxian
[9:14][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila started going over all data on that missile
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang stands staring at the view screen for several long minutes, then turns to Gayle with an unnatural calmness.-- "Gayle you have the bridge.
[9:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "...Aye, Captain. Understood.
[9:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Gayle went to take the big chair.
[9:15][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin turned to glance at Aquila and T'pang
[9:15][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"I can heal the dermal damage, but the nerve tissue is going to take months to heal.
[9:15][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang enters her ready room and the doors close. After a moment there is the muffled sound of shit breaking -
[9:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She winced.
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She shook her horned head sadly.
[9:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Ain?
[9:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Yes, Commander?
[9:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:These weapons you seemed surprised by them.
[9:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "They're not standard Imperium weaponry. But I've been gone for some time.
[9:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I will try to compire what readings we have then...
[9:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he worked quietly
[9:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--After a couple minutes of Vulcan tantrum, T'Pang manages to summon the will power to bring it under sontrol. she does her Vulcan breathing exercises centering herself once again.-
[9:21][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor gets as many scans as he can of the replicating mines to try and figure out a weakness or a good countermeasure.
[9:21][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--She looks around at the mess she made and starts to straighten the room back up as beswt she can.-
[9:24][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:No warhead other than the microwarp reactor. Which i guess is one...small. Hard to hit
[9:24][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"These are built almost exactly by starfleet specs... which means Li or someone else in engineering will know how to disable mines like this next time we come across them.
[9:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I think that was the point.
[9:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"The mines were the ropes we could remove ourselves.
[9:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"But it didn't matter because we couldn't find the person who teid them and we had a rifle trained on us
[9:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Remember when our enemies just shot us, and we shot back?
[9:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed.
[9:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang returns to the bridge a look of calm cool determination on her face.-
[9:28][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain Sickbay is reporting valkriss is stable
[9:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But severely injured
[9:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "How severe are we talking?
[9:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Severe enough
[9:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"understood.
[9:29][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he was somber
[9:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We need to see to our wounded, once that is taken care of we are going hunting.
[9:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She nodded.* "We'll need to bring the other ships back to the Citadel to be patched up... we can have her transported to their medical facility.
[9:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "The Protector's Claw indicates that the Kirtascans will gladly join us in our taskforce to make up for it.
[9:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We can't be alone out here, not with this kind of firepower.
[9:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Gayle, tell them we will gladdly accept their offer.
[9:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Aye ma'am.
[9:32][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Fleet reports from citadel sync. The Sentinel was engaged by similiar weapons. With the aide of the caelian they forced a withdrawal but without damage
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"it would seem the Imperium has shifted tactics.
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"New tactics, new weapons. Bastards. Aquila, if you figure out a way to counter-act these and need me on it, I'm ready to work at anytime.
[9:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we will need to adapt.
[9:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i will be in sick bay.
[9:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "We will. Captain, I didn't want to be too quick to suggest it, but... you'll need a new XO if Valkriss is out.
[9:34][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed, i will endeavor to come up with something. All weapons have a counter we need but find it
[9:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--before she gets on the lift, she looks at Gayle-- "Are you not my 2nd officer?
[9:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I am. But I don't have the wartime experience you'll need.
[9:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Are you recommending somone?
[9:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I think the logical choice would be Marcus, ma'am." *She nodded to Aquila.
[9:36][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he looked a little surprised
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she looks at Aquila-- "i am going to need him at tactical.
[9:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"If only Vaylith were here..." *He sighed.
[9:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "I'm more, uh, administrator-y. He has the mind for fighting.
[9:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"You will be fine Gayle, besides Valkriss will be okay.
[9:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes Mister Aquila.
[9:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "...Think about it while you go to see her, ma'am.
[9:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he glanced to gayle
[9:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Perhaps i should rid ewith you in the turbolift
[9:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"as you wish.
[9:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "It's time for beta watch, anyway.
[9:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she climbs on the lift.-
[9:40][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*as it descended a moment he stopped the lift
[9:40][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Permission to speak freely about a fellow officer
[9:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Permission granted.
[9:40][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Commadner Gayel is an excellent officer. and a dear friend. I believe i understand her meaning with this request
[9:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "The rest of you... try to get some rest, we'll need it for what's to come.
[9:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Fuckin' hell." *He growled and stepped out.
[9:41][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Commander gayle has been having nightmares, about being forced into the center chair... and being the one that gets us all killed. Despite the fact that I believe she can do the job. I think she doe
[9:41][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:not
[9:42][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin logged out and waited by the lift too
[9:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She headed for the secondary lift, cause that's what it was for.
[9:43][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I can fill the role from the console, but any of my officers can do the job I have seen to it with their training, We have also unfortnately lsot ships, resulting many a talenteed tactical officer
[9:43][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:without billets so a temproary replacement is possible
[9:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Rode the secondary lift down with Orestes, tapping his foot annoyedly.
[9:44][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he turned and went to take the secondary lift too
[9:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Man... fuck Tannies, am I right?
[9:44][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"So I belive that was Commander Gayles reasoning.
[9:45][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:That beryxian was hanging.
[9:45][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he waited for her response
[9:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yeah. Fuckin'..." *He closed his eyes and sighs.* "Let's hope that... plan B we have in place works, Orestes.
[9:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Sooner the better." *She got off on the mess hall deck.
[9:46][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Agreed." *He followed out, needing some Koros komfort food.
[9:47][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I think I understand her reasoning....
[9:48][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"i will do whatever is asked of me captian, But we really do not have alot of options command officers are stretched as they are
[9:48][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This is true. I really can not argue with your logic here.
[9:49][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"To be fair this is Commander Gayle's logic we are both agreeing with.
[9:50][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods-- "Right, then considering your self acting executive officer while Valkris is recuperating.
[9:50][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She got to the mess hall, ordering a pizza with...* "Everything." *She told Vernon.* "Everything you can put on a pizza.
[9:50][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he exhaled in a slight relaxation and resumed the turbolift* Anyway captian its probably only for a few months the avynei healers and the citadel doctors will have her back and pissed of ready t

[9:51][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he waited for it to stop at the medical level to follow T'pang to sickbay
[9:51][DOIC4]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:[T'Ghor] *Ordered after her.* "Bacon-stuffed potatoes and a fried mars bar.
[9:52][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The lift stopped. Swoosh.
