[5:57][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is replaced by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RmQTYLD398 tonight. *
[5:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** We open on a shot of the Pilgrim and her task force moving in tight formation through the abyss, lit only by their hull lights and gleaming nacelles as they put more distance between themselves..
[5:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:and the Citadel. We cut to the interior, where T’Pang’s alternate is currently sitting in a meditative pose in her brig cell while down the row and through several obscuring dividing walls, the..
[5:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:alternate Valkriss paces furiously back and forth in her own. We then fade in to our T’Pang, once more in her ready room as she gives her log. *

[6:07][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:but to keep her on board for now. Speaking of our current mission we will be passing close to Beryxian space soon. We will be able to get a glimpse of activities in the Syrixa system. Our cours
[6:09][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:is plotted to take advantage of limitations of Imperium sensors. But, that limitation cuts both ways. Out own sensors will be limited as well. if we are willing to chance it and decide it is worth i

[6:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"yes Ain?
[6:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "You're looking at eighteen minutes, sir.
[6:12][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Frowns as he reads through a message, then returns his attention to the scanner.
[6:12][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang shuts off the log recorder and places it on her desk.-
[6:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I have something that you and the captain should be made aware of. If you'll indulge me?" *She motioned to the ready room doors.
[6:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Of course, Gayle you have the Conn.
[6:13][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he beeped the ready room door

[6:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "They're probably waiting for their moment to begin the attack. If they intend to draw it out and force the Imperium to invest more than it's worth into Beryxia... it's going to be a..
[6:17][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila followeD
[6:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:big one.
[6:17][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*and took a position so ain could address them both
[6:17][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Captain, I've been taking the time to look into our 'guests' from the alternate Imperium. I believe one of them may be of interest to us.
[6:18][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang smirks-- "just one of them?
[6:18][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Not to discount the bizarre nature of having another me aboard, but this one might be more important.
[6:19][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods- I fully concur, given they have moved one of our Expeditionary Forces to 'defend' Hessok Ioma
[6:19][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] 'His name's Janos Pyr. In his universe he appears to be a run of the mill naval officer... but if Pyr sounds familiar, it should. In our universe, the current leader of the Imperium is..
[6:19][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:Emperor Gallias Pyr.
[6:20][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"A sibling?
[6:20][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"or son?
[6:20][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Now that is interesting.
[6:20][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Not likely, Emperor Pyr is in his seventies. He's probably a son, or grandson.
[6:21][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Which means, naturally, if he has a counterpart in this universe...
[6:22][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Does he appear in any records we have recovered
[6:23][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"They mentioned the IMperium has been destroyed in their universe. so it would make sense if the emperor's familiy was scattered. Assuming the enperor was the same in the other universe.
[6:23][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "No, but that probably wouldn't be in the computer cores of the ships you've taken. If we wanted to confirm, we'd need something connected to the Imperium itself.
[6:24][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "The VIA network, or a core from one of the Imperium's operational camps.
[6:24][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"So you are proposing a heist?
[6:25][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Just because I was a thief in the Imperium doesn't mean everything I suggest is a heist." *She cracked a smirk.* "But, now that you mention it...
[6:28][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila listened further
[6:28][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang leaned in, listening with interest.-
[6:29][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm seeing a ton of warp trails in the area. Imperium's been on the move big-time these past two weeks.
[6:29][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She blinked a moment.* "Well, off the top of my head... we know IOC-28 was recently left a ruin by the Manta. It may be worth it to try and see if there's anything left over.
[6:30][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Failing that, there's other IOCs whose locations haven't been confirmed to us, but they will be on guard.
[6:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "They're setting up shop as fast as they can... probably because they know we're going to be coming for them soon.
[6:31][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Its possible somethign may be considered destroyed when they pulled out.
[6:31][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"it would be a far safer optio
[6:31][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"how far off course would we need to divert to swing by IOC-28?
[6:32][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:its 6 light year diversion
[6:32][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:But that is not that far if we use slipstream
[6:32][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "And it's already in sector 2029.
[6:32][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:a minute or so

[6:32][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Hour by warp
[6:33][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that isn't bad. Let's swing by there and and see if there is any tasty scraps left on those bones.
[6:33][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "No, it won't. Not from those big-ass motherships.
[6:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "We're nearly at our checkpoint.
[6:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:'Keepin' an eye on scans.
[6:35][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She bowed her horned head.* "That was all that I had for you, Captain.
[6:35][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- While our motherships are powerful..it is the cruisers und escorts one should vatch out for
[6:35][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Good work Ain.
[6:35][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-runs a new series of sensor sweeps
[6:35][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Thank you sir.
[6:35][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"in the mean time, what is the status of this Janos Pyr? Has he agreed to work with us? Has he been vetted?
[6:36][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "He's not inclined to work with us presently, Captain, but most of the people from the alternate Imperium have taken that stance. Give me a few days and maybe I can convince them.
[6:37][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(T'Ghor and elise, both roll
[6:37][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well do what you can. Let me know if there is anything we can do to help in that regard.
[6:38][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Of course, Captain.
[6:38][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"if that was all you had I wont keep you. You can get back to your dutues.
[6:39][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"I'll have us set course. for half a lightyear out we can scan the system from there.
[6:39][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Thank you Mister Aquila.
[6:39][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Captian.
[6:39][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "We're still a while from being in the sector. I believe we're still nearing Beryxia.
[6:40][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We are, they should be in scan range in under 10 minutes.
[6:40][DOIC2]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I would like to get as much intel as we can as we pass.
[6:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"What the fuck?
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Lieutenant?
[6:40][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"We got a 12 hour old warp trail... Zhyx one.

[6:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-stiffens- Vhat
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She blinked.* "Zhyx... I hate those guys.

[6:41][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Sends the scan to Elise.
[6:41][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Yes, Captain." *She bowed her head and turned to depart.
[6:41][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-looks it over to try and extrapolate where it might have been going and where it came from
[6:42][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Tries to do much the same.
[6:43][DOIC2]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Captain I 'll make the corrections
[6:43][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-hises- This can not be..
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Report, Leftenant.

[6:45][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-cringes as Gayle reports and looks back toehr console
[6:45][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Well they have been quiet for awhile they must be manuevering back into the war.
[6:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I can confirm weaps' tracing of the zhyx, she's got their direction right.
[6:46][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:This may confirm apossible nest on Brexyia...or a small enclave si
[6:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "It could indicate they've moved their wormhole to the Beryxian star system, and that they're letting the Zhyx use it.

[6:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I have a vague image... Not the best, but the best I can get from this range. We got two carriers, not command ones... a few prowler signatures, movement is too quick to count... Imperial fighters.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Mostly in orbit around Syrixa and her moons.
[6:52][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:(Freighters*
[6:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Not command
[6:52][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:What do you mean smaller?

[6:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I haven't seen them deployed... they may be an older model from before my time.
[6:56][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Class name?
[6:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Let us pray so. If they are busting out older pieces, that can only be a good sign.
[6:56][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Such supportr Karriers are common in most active war fleets during time of conflic
[6:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Like I said, I really don't know much about this one. It would probably translate to Rikan class?
[7:00][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Log class tactical as Rikan class.
[7:00][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Aye sir, if ve requiremore data on this class ve vill need to get in closer for such scans

[7:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Good man. Captain T'Pang, I was calling to coordinate. Feel like a little bit of a ruse?
[7:06][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she walk out onto the bridge and nods to ward the screen-- "What exactly did you have in mind Captain?
[7:07][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Well, we're in a rather unique position where I look like the cat and you look like the mouse, at least to the Imperium. We can only get basic sensor data from our current range..
[7:08][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:but if the Imperium spotted you and then spotted that you were already being pursued by a perfectly capable Marauder that warns the others to back off from her kill?
[7:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "It could be worth the risk, Captain.
[7:10][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:We can make the slip jumps seperate. Relink with task force after we do a highspeed pass skirting the edge of the system.
[7:11][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "See, I knew I liked you, Commander." *She grinned.
[7:12][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They also wouldn't expect the jump to be anything other than random if it looks like we are being heavily pursued.
[7:13][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will have to time this perfectly.
[7:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "We will. But if we can get more intel for the liberation force, it just might save someone's life. Worth it, if you ask me.
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I agree.
[7:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "It's settled, then. I'm going to have to shoot at you, just one of those things unfortunately, but between my tac officer and your helm officer I think we can make it convincing even..
[7:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:when we 'miss.'
[7:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "But some simulated damage won't hurt either.
[7:16][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well captain we wont take it personal.
[7:17][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Actually better than simulated.
[7:18][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "Something in mind?
[7:18][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:=^= Engineering, How long would it take you to rig exterior platting to blow deck 14 aft section 33 and 34
[7:19][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Yeah you shoot our tail in a non critical but near critical spot. We blow it at the same time so it looks liek yoru shootign full pwoered weapons then we jump

[7:20][DOIC3]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Zohle] =/\= "Eh? On purpose? We'd have to send someone out to do it... at least thirty minutes.
[7:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"at the same time t'ghor drops a long range probe that waits in sleeper intervals to get eyes on beryxia.
[7:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I would not be hard to simulate a plama leak if we really want the full effect.
[7:21][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"They won't notice more debris falling away. It would be worth the time that probe would only have to be active for a few seconds every few days to get viable data.
[7:22][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "It'd be invaluable to the siege if we could pull it off. I agree, let's do it.
[7:25][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*Starts setting up a probe for Aquila's plan.
[7:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Let start setting this up.
[7:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] "We'll work on things from our end. Let me know when you're ready to go.
[7:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:Orestes that means we need new plots for slip jump from withing outer beryxian system
[7:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Aye Captain.
[7:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:And one for the rest of the group to join us
[7:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'll start doing the math, I guess.
[7:28][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I'm playing with the probe, Orestes, so it's up to you.

[7:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I got the basics of the probe... but with some time I feel I could improve it.
[7:37][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"I also need to figure out an optimal point of deployment.
[7:38][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"you have 28 minutes until engineering is finished.
[7:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm your part is mostly going to be scripted, so just stick to the plan.
[7:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Good thing I took theater as an elective," *she chuckled.
[7:39][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Right. I'll play around with the probe designs more..." *He started trying to adjust the probe's sensor systems to get better images with the characteristics of the region.

[7:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-sighs as she works- Must be a human one zhe
[7:40][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"It is because it is bad luck to wish someone does well in the theatre captain.

[7:45][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Yes? Send it over.
[7:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Well, usually they mean it in the context of you breaking someone else's leg.

[8:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*On Istrin's screen, he could see a Simirian woman trying to grab the giant woman to stop her, only to get knocked off to the side.
[8:10][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Arfacio's ready, she's waiting for us to start the show.
[8:10][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Yes ma'am. *he headed to the lift* =^= Ettore I'm on my way down, let's see if we can calm them

[8:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*There were multiple extrapolated paths, many of which indicated the possibility of the Zhyx being in their intended flight path.
[8:14][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Nadine's got a point. Naps are good for everyone.

[8:15][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:The zhyx pose an unstable element captains. But we can make this work. And it would be good to see hwo they react, as our slip point is pre plotted we should be able to jump.

[8:17][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We will deal with the Zhyx if they become a problem.
[8:17][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *She came on the screen.* "I tend to agree. We're getting down to the wires here in this war; if we don't put some skin on the line, we're not going to end it any time soon.

[8:19][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=^=Attention all hands brace for slipstream jump followed by high speed maneuvering.=^
[8:19][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*On Istrin's screen, he would see people starting to slowly drop.

[8:20][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*aquila sat down and strapped in

[8:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Arfacio] *she gave an amused smirk.* "We've got it covered. Now let's put on a show.
[8:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes, lets get our soundtracks coordinated.

[8:25][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vaaaay tooo easy to comment on -shakes her head
[8:25][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** An exterior shot showed the Pilgrim suddenly going ripping off to the side at a panicked speed as the others in her taskforce broke off. As Arfacio's marauder moved in to pursue, Tamin hit a..

[8:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-reports as she would normally- Enemy ship is pursuin
[8:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tamin] "Wait for it..." *She suddenly took them veering off sharply to the side, maneuvering them ever closer to Syrixa as a shot from the marauder just barely managed to avoid blasting off..
[8:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"We are absent choice.
[8:27][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:*he joked
[8:27][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:*T'Ghor pretends to be scrambling for EWAR, setting up a targeting jam any competent starfleet tac officer would break through in a moment.

[8:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:part of their nacelle.* "Keep going!" *More shots began to go off around them, and they would suddenly notice... Tamin and the Marauder were following the beat of the song.
[8:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-fires off her little special full strengthed delivery to Arfacio's 'nose'
[8:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They could feel the force of gravity on them as Tamin began to move them faster and faster, twisting and spinning through space in a wild but expertly coordinated dance with one another.
[8:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Elise and T'Ghor roll
[8:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang sits there holding on trying not to look nervous-

[8:32][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*istrin hung on for life
[8:33][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** With the frenzied dance that Tamin and the Marauder were putting on, the punch Elise threw at her soared right past Arfie's nose. T'Ghor was able to set up the jam easily, but as predicted..
[8:34][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:the tactical officer on the other side tore right through it and continued the barrage as they could see the Syrixan star getting larget in the distance. *
[8:34][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"They got through my sensor jamming!

[8:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oh no, we're done for now," *she said with the enthusiasm of a middle schooler who really doesn't want to read out loud for the class.
[8:35][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Try and have some fun for once, Orestes.
[8:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I always have fun.

[8:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] "Well, about that... Arfacio's broadcasting. Or, Captain Aci is.
[8:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*She hit a button and they could hear a Tanausan accent,* "...Do NOT interfere with the apprehension of these barbarians or you will be made to personally answer to Admiral Wen for your insolence.

[8:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Gayle] *She turned it off.* "It goes more or less like that.

[8:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang smirked-- "Well I hope that convinces the Imperial forces to just stand by and watch the show.
[8:41][DOIC1]Aquila@Captain_Rien:"Indeed.
[8:43][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Not seeing any big changes on scans either.

[8:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang grabs her arm rests and hold on trying not to think about the fact that they were about to intentionally put holes in her ship.-
[8:52][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** Tamin takes them to the asteroid field, making an adjustment to their port side just in time for the Marauder to strike. The ship gave a shudder under them as the panels Zohle had rigged go..

[8:56][DOIC1]T'Ghor@bulgariandragon:"Thanks!
[8:58][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The probe goes flying alongside the ejected panels, looking like little more than space debris to the layman observer. The shot Elise fires misses the reinforced 'nose' section of the Marauder..
[8:59][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:and instead manages to slam hard into her starboard side, ripping off panels and giving them a much more realistic injury than Elise had intended to. Tamin keeps them going regardless..
