T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | It has now been a week since the operation at Empok Nor. KDF ships scour the area where the Scryer's signal may have come from, while Egzo went off to pursue the Jem'Hadar attack ship which -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - brought the Scryer's clone in hopes that it would lead somewhere...and it did.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The attack ship has revealed the staging ground of a small House V'Ku fleet, and after Egzo informed the rest of the task force, reinforcements promptly arrive to take care of the rogue -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - general's forces. The Colonial Fleet has answered the call as well with a battleship of their own design rather than the salvaged vessels often found in their former raiding fleet.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Ships gather just outside sensor range of the staging ground...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: For once we have more heavy ships than light ships hehe
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Azara appears on the holocall of the collected ship commanders.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Let's have this as Daramar bridge! Colonial Fleet bridges look more Dominion style
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Plus Sadia is head of this op, Colonial Fleet is just here to assist!
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: i mean tbf, we will all be appearing as holo's on each other bridges so it's technically correct either way xD
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: haha true!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at all gathered officers* Good to see you all again on such a short notice. We may not found the Scryer yet, but we've got something else. Egzo?
Egzo@HF_Mudd launches in. "So here's what we got..."
Egzo@HF_Mudd flashes up grainy holoimages of the ships as he describes them: "Two heavy raptors, three birds, the Jemmie bug, and I'm pretty sure that's an old K't'inga under all those weird house mods."
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: afk RL calling.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "You can see why I didn't wanna take 'em myself."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Network-Klingons, then. The Colonial Fleet has heard of such mercenaries. Attacked this task force once, no?"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Yeah."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods* I've met General V'Ku...or what's left of him, in person.
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: back
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: wb!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Everyone is in agreement that destroying the Network-Klingon vessels would be beneficial, then?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Egzo* What about stationary defenses?
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Nothin' I saw. I think they're just gatherin' here for somethin' else."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Task force, basically."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Ku'jho* This happened before you arrived. General V'Ku seems to be on the payroll of the Scryer network, and he's using a lot of modified borg tech, both on his vessels and his troops.
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Ssso thisss will be an interessting fight.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: It's like...what Romulan Star Empire were doing in the past...
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Too much like."
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Ssshielding the sssame asss borg? Need to have frequency modulatorsss?
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Not what we observed when they barged into my bridge the last time...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Azara suggests the Klingon vessels approach under cloak first for a stealth attack. Then, OSN and Colonial Fleet vessels will enter the field to assist."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Alternatively, as we are still without cloak as Azara points out; we could go in first to draw out any cloaked V'Ku vessels before revealing our task force's full hand"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I agree. V'Ku is a cunning bastard, and his tech is not to be underestimated. He caused us quite some problems last time.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Lorri* Think there might be more hidden vessels around?
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "If you were sitting a task force out together like this, wouldn't you maintain a cloaked patrol?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: In that case, we should expect we do not have a factor of surprise at all.
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: How good isss their cloak tech, Reman, Romulan good? Caussse we could attempt to disssrupt it.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Thana's advanced deflector systems are capable of sustaining sufficient tachyon sweeps" she nods confidently
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "As are Colonial Fleet deflector systems."
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg nods agreeingly.
Lorri@crystyll glances to holo-Azara with a slight smirk, "Where do you think we got the tech..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Of course..."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Anyway" looks back to Sadia, "Just highlighting the potential option to our approach. We are - as always - ready to proceed as you see fit"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Think you two can sweep the area around V'Ku's forces?
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara nods, "Azara's battleship can do that as well."
Lorri@crystyll nods, "A joint Colonial/OSN assault shouldn't rouse suspicion to KDF presence necessarily. Between us we can pull their punches and reveal any hidden assets"
Egzo@HF_Mudd waits for the others to decide on a plan, having said his piece already with the scouting report.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "If we link our sensors across the task force, you will have accurate positioning of all assets before jumping in"
Lorri@crystyll grins, "Promise we won't steal all the 'glory' before you get a go"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Very well. We did not reveal KDF presence yet, and we should maximize on this.
Egzo@HF_Mudd grunts and nods.
Lorri@crystyll nods to someone on her bridge to establish the sensor net
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara looks to Lorri's hologram, "Focus on bringing down enemy shielding. The battleship will be able to finish off any vessel that has lost shields."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *she brings up the holopmap of the local space, showing the general position of known V'Ku's ships*
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Agreed. Both squadrons standing by to launch once we engage" back to Sadia, "Ready on your mark"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Thana and...Colonial battleship 676 will move in at the enemy, while Daramar and G'quan will flank the known enemy force, and Hag'lhr will move on the opposite side.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Our tachyon sweep will likely alert them to their detection, so you will only have a small window to jump on any cloaked assets before they get shields up"
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods again.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: KDF ships will keep distance as not to get caught in tachyon sweeps. Once that is complete and any further enemy ships unmasked, we will rush in and deal with shieldless enemy first.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Right" looks back to holo-Azara, "Let's do this then"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: After that...well, we'll pick off targets as situation develops.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Is the plan understood? *looks at everyone*
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara nods, "The Colonial Fleet stands ready."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Hag'lhr, ready."
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: G'Quan at the ready.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - ROUND 1 -
[Local] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: (Lorri and Azara exclusive)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: In that case, KDF ships, move into position and wait on signal from Cmdr. Azara.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Assuming we've already closed into range when round starts!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves to flank the enemy force, opposite of G'Quan, and just outside of planned tachyon sweep's range.
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana moves into position, commencing tachyon sweep while portside cannons light up firing on everything in range to cover the 2 sqaudron launches
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 46 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The covering fire doesn't do too much to enemy shields, but it does its work and allows the squadrons to launch.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Colonial battleship does the same, joining in the tachyon sweep while laying down disruptor fire on one of the heavy raptors to drop its shielding.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 1 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Dammit rerolling that!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I wonder who stole my dice...
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: I should hope.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: it has begun
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: *watches for who rolls 99 first*
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 45 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The raptor takes a few hits to shields, but being a heavy raptor, it manages to soak them up without losing its shielding.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Sensors light up thanks to the sensor net, revealing the positions of two more ships, a lighter, old raptor class and a bird of prey, both with cloaks still down...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - ROUND 2 -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise (Lorri, Azara, Egzo, Ku'jho, Sadia)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: KDF ships going later as still closing the distance so OSN and Colonial gets another turn earlier!
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: np!
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana holds it ground, continuing to focus on rapid shield burn against heaviest enemies while squadrons add to firepower with strafing runs
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 56 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> As it moves closer, Daramar launches cloaked shuttles for eventual diversions..
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Thana manages to weaken the K’t’inga's shields to 70%, while the heavy raptor targeted by the battleship loses its shields completely, and its attempted attack run quickly turns to a retreat.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Klingon vessels, engage the cloaked enemies before shields can be raised!"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Colonial battleship lines itself with the retreating raptor...
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 40 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | A rapid-moving projectile shoots out of the battleship's front, not a torpedo but a coilgun which rips through the side of one of the raptor's wings, disabling the weapons on it.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: oops
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: forgot the /e
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: There!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Got one raptor and one BOP currently claoked and shieldless, rest are shielded and moving into position atm!
Egzo@HF_Mudd | <FX> Hag'lhr ripples into visibility as well, wings swinging down, angling in on one of the revealed enemies and lighting it up with disruptors and a torpedo from the chin tube.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Monitor their comms, we need to figure out the command vessel of this force. K't'inga is obvious choice, but you never know...
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: awyeah
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Egzo totally stole my spots there hehe
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The disruptors weaken the structural integrity of the cloaked enemy BoP and a direct hit from the torpedo finishes it off in a flash of light!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - KU'JHO'S TURN -
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg brings his vessel on the flank opposite Daramar and targets heavy styled ship and releases a barrage of tetryon .
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Booyah!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Wow
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Everyone rolls 97! hehe
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The raptor tries to dart out of the way, seeing its fellow cloaked ship go down, but is caught in the barrage and completely disabled!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - SADIA'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Cloaked BOP is down and raptor disabled, can use your turn on the non-cloaked enemies!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Target the retreating raptor and open fire!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar ripples from invisibility, his main forward facing cannons and beam banks firing at the raptor that was damaged by Azara and was falling back.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 91 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Nice surprise round rolls
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: shhh don't jinx us!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Daramar's shots finish off the crippled raptor and it goes down in a fiery explosion.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: it was...fine
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 89 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Totally jinxed us
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "That clears the battlefield a bit, now brace for return fire!"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The remaining enemies manage to regroup. The heavy raptor, supported by a bird of prey, opens fire on Thana and the battleship, dropping both vessels' shields by 10%.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 73 (1-100)
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Hag'lhr shimmers and vanishes like a mirage as it banks away from the fading glory of its target, making full use of his battle cloak.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The K't'inga meanwhile begins laying down covering fire on Daramar as it begins moving in one direction, covered by a bird of prey.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 33 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Last BoP tries to find Hag'Ihr to no avail and joins in assisting the big ship.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - ROUND THREE -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: current status of Thana's target/s?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: The biggest ship (k't'inga) is moving away and focusing on Daramar but one of the heavy raptors is remaining to fight it out with Thana and the battleship along with a BoP
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: ty
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: remaining heavy raptor + bop are on Thana+Battleship, 1 bop on hag'lhr and K't'inga and bop on daramar?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: K't'inga and two bops on Daramar since the BoP lost track of Hag'Ihr after it cloaked again!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Daramar is the biggest target
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: hehe
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana turns it's heavy cannons on the raptor with 1st squadron while 2nd supports the colonial battleship against the bop
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 2 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: but it's more like covering fire rather than actually trying to take it down
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: ...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: and oh no!
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: reroll time
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 60 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Thana drops the raptor's shields below 25% while the squadron move to assist...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Colonial battleship turns on its side, reallocating shielding...strangely to facings other than the one towards the enemy.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 43 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The bird of prey takes the bait and attacks, landing only a few hits before the battleship catches it in a tractor beam.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The small enemy ship quickly polarizes its hull and escapes, but not before the interceptors manage to land a few solid hits and take out most of its shielding.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (back, one sec)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Np!
Egzo@HF_Mudd follows up on the opening Azara created, reappearing to pounce on the other bird.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 27 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: I want to reroll.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Go ahead!
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 63 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: There we go.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Ezgo brings down the BoP's shields fully and cripples it, leaving it spiralling out of control!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | - KU'JHO'S TURN -
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: what's left?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: oh wait I forgot about the Jemmie ship that's still around
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: well, there you go.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I guess that can be aggroing Ku'jho since he got away easy hehe
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Other than that, raptor on Thana and battleship is weakened while biggest ship and two BoPs lay down covering fire on Daramar
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg follows up after the barrage, with a quantum torpedo spread on the raptor engaged with the Thana.
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 13 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: do you have a reroll, or did you already?
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: don't forget you can reroll 1/event
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: I haven't rerolled. Can I?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Mhmm!
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 2 (1-100)
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: doh
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Oh no
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: hmm, intriguing.
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Oh well, it's a faster mover.
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: thats normally my luck
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The raptor manages to jam the torpedo's targeting and it goes wide while the enemy ship breaks off from combat...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - SADIA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The enemy appears to be attempting retreat."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Focus on the K't'inga, target their warp nacelles, assault shuttles move in and on stand-by."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar turns towards the K't'inga, focusing fire at the ship's nacelle(s), while cloaked shuttles follow the target and wait for the order...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 39 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: re-roll or not...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Your call!
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: going for re+roll
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 6 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Wow...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: ah well
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Everyone is having bad luck with rerolls
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "wait, wait, I want to keep my first" "doesn't work that way" "d'oh!"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The K't'inga manages to tank the hits with its shields until the remaining birds of prey and Jem'Hadar attack ship arrives to assist.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The attack ship uses an antiproton sweep to reveal the cloaked shuttles, which the BoPs promptly chase off while the attack ship itself challenges the Daramar.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 23 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The raptor retreats out of targetting range but doesn't manage to warp away just yet.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 95 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The attack ship delays Daramar enough for the K't'inga to safely get out of firing range and jump to warp!
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 95 (1-100)
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: hax
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: and /now/ the high enemy rolls. ah well.
[Team] Lorri@crystyll:
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Both BoPs warp out after it, leaving the raptor and attack ship still in the field.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Good thing they're for retreats and not attacks hehe
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I was hoping you wouldn't stop the K't'inga though because this leads to interesting things!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - CLEANUP ROUND -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Still gonna do turns until everything on the field is dead or escaped!
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana would attempt to drop the last of the raptor's shields before taking it's engines out with a torpedo
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 68 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Thana drops the raptor's shields and its torpedo deals significant damage to its aft, reducing its speed to less than a quarter impulse, though it still tries to move with its remaining -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - engine capability and current inertia.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The battleship lines up with the raptor again...
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 54 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | A powerful coilgun shot tears through the raptor's hull, crippling engines and what is left of its systems, leaving it dead in space.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: only attack ship left?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Yup!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: It's much less modified than the rest too, closer to a typical Dominion war era attack ship
Egzo@HF_Mudd engages the 'bug' in a dogfight.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 13 (1-100)
Egzo@HF_Mudd can't get a good shot!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Divert assault shuttles to disabled ships."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - KU'JHO'S TURN -
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg brings his ship a bout and targets the last ship with his forward tetryon cannons, firing rapid.
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 14 (1-100)
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Shoots his tactical officer!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | It seems the Jem'Hadar ship might not be the most heavily modified, but it's taken a few good engine mods...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - SADIA'S TURN -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Tractor beam that slippery bugger, and follow up with torpedo spread!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar tries to catch the bug in a tractor beam net, and smash it with torpedo spam.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 37 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The attack ship uses the same polarizing trick to evade the tractor, but one of the torpedoes manages to detonate near it, bringing its shields to near collapse.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 92 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | It seems on the verge of escape when it suddenly pauses and turns back, opening fire on Egzo and dropping his shields to 70%!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Someone's gonna get it eventually...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Surely one bug can't KO the entire task force
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: hehe
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana would also attempt a tractor lock on it's target, trying to halt the fleeing raptor while Ghost teams prepare to board
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 80 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: this si why sadia loves having more zippy ships around
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The drifting raptor is stabilized and Ghost teams are able to board over and do their thing!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
Egzo@HF_Mudd curses and orders Rritt to go evasive, leaving the task of killing the annoying bug to the rest of the group.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The battleship generates a small gravity well with its deflector to try and hold it in place instead of a tractor beam...
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 60 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Jem'Hadar ship struggles, but is finally caught in a relatively stable position!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Egzo's turn or jump over to Kujho since he's evading?
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Evading, yes.
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: And trying to rebuild aft shields.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - KU'JHO'S TURN -
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg orders a boarding party to beam onto the Jem vessel while it's weakened and open. "Get over there and bring me the captain!"
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Finally!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Ku'jho's boarding party does a clean sweep, eliminating the crew and capturing the command staff!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Task force receives a hail from the fleeing K't'inga...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Assault shuttles from Daramar board the raptor disabled by Ku'jho at the start of battle...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "On screen."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "This should be interesting..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | A cybernetically augmented Klingon appears on screen. He possesses the same style of ridges as General V'Ku for those who have seen the General, but he is visibly younger...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Cyborg Klingon: "I am D'othak, son of V'Ku. Catch me if you can, either way, today is a good day to die!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *boringly twirls a dagger in her hand* Nice escape, D'othak. Tell your father Captain Cynis sends her regards. I expected him to come at me, but I got tired of waiting.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "I have a report back from the Ghosts. Remaining V'Ku forces are retreating acros the border into Sheliak space"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | D'othak: "Escape? We are not cowards, Captain Cynis. I will see my father in Gre'thor, and you as well, sooner or later."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Apparently they were out here to provoke the Sheliak and lay blame on the KDF. Namely us..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | D'othak gives a villianous smirk before the call ends.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Sheliak. Azara has heard of these people from the Supreme Commander's travels..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Corporate assholes that would give nastiest Cajus from Narris a run for their money. I guess I should send them a warning note..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Sheliak consider all other life inferior. The Corporate will not distinguish between Network-Klingons and Imperial Klingons. An attack from one will be an attack from all Klingons."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "She's right about that."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "I have them on long range sensors. They are already across the border and Sheliak ships are moving to intercept"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *turns to OPS* Send a priority message to High Command and inform them of the situation.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Captain Cynis' task force is already at war with the Breen, no?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Yes, but we are not in conflict with the Sheliak."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Azara admits that this task force is impressive, but Captain Cynis will not survive a war on two fronts."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "What do you suggest?"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Network-Klingons are not far past the border. There is only one option. Eliminate all witnesses. Network /and/ Sheliak."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Negotiating with the Sheliak after war has begun will be difficult and tedious. This must be stopped now."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *rises eyebrow* Enemies are price of honor, commander. If Sheliak are incapable or unwilling to discern the difference between V'Ku and us, or listen to us at all, then war it is.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Far more ships will be lost in war than if a strike is carried out now to prevent the Sheliak from ever knowing of this."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Sheliak space is not small. This force can carry out a sudden strike and clean up the evidence before further reinforcements arrive."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "All the Sheliak will know is that some ships went missing, and will have no reason to suspect Klingons."
Egzo@HF_Mudd remains silent, deferring to Sadia on this.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Yeah this plot has quite a few renegade/paragon decisions...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I just keep coming up with these hehe
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: xD
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at other captains* If war with Sheliak will come, it will not be started by my hands - first shot will have to be theirs, unless High Command decides to start war on their own.
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg nods affirmingly.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I will send a warning to Sheliak Corporate Council, if they wish to ignore us, it is on them.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "War does not have to start, if Captain Cynis strikes swiftly enough. But the choice is not Azara's, as this conflict will impact the Klingons most of all."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: And if they are stupid enough to seek war, Empire will give it to them!
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "As Captain Cynis wishes."
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Note that these are /Klingon/ 'renegade' and 'paragon' ;)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to OPS* Once you send report to High Command, send the warning to the nearest Sheliak station or vessel, and attach all the sensor data about remaining V'Ku's vessels.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Aside from the commander, anyone has any complaints or suggestions?
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: I currently have the captain and hisss command ssstaff from the Jem ssship at your disssposssal Captain Sadia.
Lorri@crystyll shakes her head, "Your op. Your rules. We also have control of the heavy Raptor. With permission, I should like to dissect it's computer for intel and look to recover it as an asset to be repurposed"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Ku'jho* I trust you have personnel capable of...debriefing them. And I can bet cmdr. Azara and Tabadi Lorri have specialists too for this.
Lorri@crystyll nods
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Of courssse, I'll coordinate with them both.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Colonial Fleet does indeed have specialists who can assist with interrogation."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Azara* Sure. We are securing other ships, if any are warp capable we are taking them with us, others are to be stripped of useful parts and scuttled before we leave. You have 2 hours.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "I am confident we can have it warp capable again in that time"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - END SCENE -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - brought the Scryer's clone in hopes that it would lead somewhere...and it did.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The attack ship has revealed the staging ground of a small House V'Ku fleet, and after Egzo informed the rest of the task force, reinforcements promptly arrive to take care of the rogue -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - general's forces. The Colonial Fleet has answered the call as well with a battleship of their own design rather than the salvaged vessels often found in their former raiding fleet.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Ships gather just outside sensor range of the staging ground...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: For once we have more heavy ships than light ships hehe
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Azara appears on the holocall of the collected ship commanders.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Let's have this as Daramar bridge! Colonial Fleet bridges look more Dominion style
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Plus Sadia is head of this op, Colonial Fleet is just here to assist!
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: i mean tbf, we will all be appearing as holo's on each other bridges so it's technically correct either way xD
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: haha true!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at all gathered officers* Good to see you all again on such a short notice. We may not found the Scryer yet, but we've got something else. Egzo?
Egzo@HF_Mudd launches in. "So here's what we got..."
Egzo@HF_Mudd flashes up grainy holoimages of the ships as he describes them: "Two heavy raptors, three birds, the Jemmie bug, and I'm pretty sure that's an old K't'inga under all those weird house mods."
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: afk RL calling.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "You can see why I didn't wanna take 'em myself."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Network-Klingons, then. The Colonial Fleet has heard of such mercenaries. Attacked this task force once, no?"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Yeah."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods* I've met General V'Ku...or what's left of him, in person.
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: back
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: wb!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Everyone is in agreement that destroying the Network-Klingon vessels would be beneficial, then?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Egzo* What about stationary defenses?
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Nothin' I saw. I think they're just gatherin' here for somethin' else."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Task force, basically."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Ku'jho* This happened before you arrived. General V'Ku seems to be on the payroll of the Scryer network, and he's using a lot of modified borg tech, both on his vessels and his troops.
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Ssso thisss will be an interessting fight.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: It's like...what Romulan Star Empire were doing in the past...
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Too much like."
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Ssshielding the sssame asss borg? Need to have frequency modulatorsss?
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Not what we observed when they barged into my bridge the last time...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Azara suggests the Klingon vessels approach under cloak first for a stealth attack. Then, OSN and Colonial Fleet vessels will enter the field to assist."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Alternatively, as we are still without cloak as Azara points out; we could go in first to draw out any cloaked V'Ku vessels before revealing our task force's full hand"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I agree. V'Ku is a cunning bastard, and his tech is not to be underestimated. He caused us quite some problems last time.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Lorri* Think there might be more hidden vessels around?
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "If you were sitting a task force out together like this, wouldn't you maintain a cloaked patrol?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: In that case, we should expect we do not have a factor of surprise at all.
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: How good isss their cloak tech, Reman, Romulan good? Caussse we could attempt to disssrupt it.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Thana's advanced deflector systems are capable of sustaining sufficient tachyon sweeps" she nods confidently
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "As are Colonial Fleet deflector systems."
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg nods agreeingly.
Lorri@crystyll glances to holo-Azara with a slight smirk, "Where do you think we got the tech..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Of course..."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Anyway" looks back to Sadia, "Just highlighting the potential option to our approach. We are - as always - ready to proceed as you see fit"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Think you two can sweep the area around V'Ku's forces?
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara nods, "Azara's battleship can do that as well."
Lorri@crystyll nods, "A joint Colonial/OSN assault shouldn't rouse suspicion to KDF presence necessarily. Between us we can pull their punches and reveal any hidden assets"
Egzo@HF_Mudd waits for the others to decide on a plan, having said his piece already with the scouting report.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "If we link our sensors across the task force, you will have accurate positioning of all assets before jumping in"
Lorri@crystyll grins, "Promise we won't steal all the 'glory' before you get a go"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Very well. We did not reveal KDF presence yet, and we should maximize on this.
Egzo@HF_Mudd grunts and nods.
Lorri@crystyll nods to someone on her bridge to establish the sensor net
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara looks to Lorri's hologram, "Focus on bringing down enemy shielding. The battleship will be able to finish off any vessel that has lost shields."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *she brings up the holopmap of the local space, showing the general position of known V'Ku's ships*
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Agreed. Both squadrons standing by to launch once we engage" back to Sadia, "Ready on your mark"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Thana and...Colonial battleship 676 will move in at the enemy, while Daramar and G'quan will flank the known enemy force, and Hag'lhr will move on the opposite side.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Our tachyon sweep will likely alert them to their detection, so you will only have a small window to jump on any cloaked assets before they get shields up"
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods again.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: KDF ships will keep distance as not to get caught in tachyon sweeps. Once that is complete and any further enemy ships unmasked, we will rush in and deal with shieldless enemy first.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Right" looks back to holo-Azara, "Let's do this then"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: After that...well, we'll pick off targets as situation develops.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Is the plan understood? *looks at everyone*
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara nods, "The Colonial Fleet stands ready."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Hag'lhr, ready."
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: G'Quan at the ready.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - ROUND 1 -
[Local] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: (Lorri and Azara exclusive)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: In that case, KDF ships, move into position and wait on signal from Cmdr. Azara.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Assuming we've already closed into range when round starts!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves to flank the enemy force, opposite of G'Quan, and just outside of planned tachyon sweep's range.
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana moves into position, commencing tachyon sweep while portside cannons light up firing on everything in range to cover the 2 sqaudron launches
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 46 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The covering fire doesn't do too much to enemy shields, but it does its work and allows the squadrons to launch.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Colonial battleship does the same, joining in the tachyon sweep while laying down disruptor fire on one of the heavy raptors to drop its shielding.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 1 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Dammit rerolling that!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I wonder who stole my dice...
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: I should hope.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: it has begun
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: *watches for who rolls 99 first*
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 45 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The raptor takes a few hits to shields, but being a heavy raptor, it manages to soak them up without losing its shielding.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Sensors light up thanks to the sensor net, revealing the positions of two more ships, a lighter, old raptor class and a bird of prey, both with cloaks still down...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - ROUND 2 -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise (Lorri, Azara, Egzo, Ku'jho, Sadia)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: KDF ships going later as still closing the distance so OSN and Colonial gets another turn earlier!
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: np!
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana holds it ground, continuing to focus on rapid shield burn against heaviest enemies while squadrons add to firepower with strafing runs
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 56 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> As it moves closer, Daramar launches cloaked shuttles for eventual diversions..
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Thana manages to weaken the K’t’inga's shields to 70%, while the heavy raptor targeted by the battleship loses its shields completely, and its attempted attack run quickly turns to a retreat.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Klingon vessels, engage the cloaked enemies before shields can be raised!"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Colonial battleship lines itself with the retreating raptor...
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 40 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | A rapid-moving projectile shoots out of the battleship's front, not a torpedo but a coilgun which rips through the side of one of the raptor's wings, disabling the weapons on it.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: oops
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: forgot the /e
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: There!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Got one raptor and one BOP currently claoked and shieldless, rest are shielded and moving into position atm!
Egzo@HF_Mudd | <FX> Hag'lhr ripples into visibility as well, wings swinging down, angling in on one of the revealed enemies and lighting it up with disruptors and a torpedo from the chin tube.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Monitor their comms, we need to figure out the command vessel of this force. K't'inga is obvious choice, but you never know...
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: awyeah
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Egzo totally stole my spots there hehe
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The disruptors weaken the structural integrity of the cloaked enemy BoP and a direct hit from the torpedo finishes it off in a flash of light!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - KU'JHO'S TURN -
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg brings his vessel on the flank opposite Daramar and targets heavy styled ship and releases a barrage of tetryon .
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Booyah!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Wow
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Everyone rolls 97! hehe
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The raptor tries to dart out of the way, seeing its fellow cloaked ship go down, but is caught in the barrage and completely disabled!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - SADIA'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Cloaked BOP is down and raptor disabled, can use your turn on the non-cloaked enemies!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Target the retreating raptor and open fire!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar ripples from invisibility, his main forward facing cannons and beam banks firing at the raptor that was damaged by Azara and was falling back.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 91 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Nice surprise round rolls
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: shhh don't jinx us!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Daramar's shots finish off the crippled raptor and it goes down in a fiery explosion.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: it was...fine
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 89 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Totally jinxed us
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "That clears the battlefield a bit, now brace for return fire!"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The remaining enemies manage to regroup. The heavy raptor, supported by a bird of prey, opens fire on Thana and the battleship, dropping both vessels' shields by 10%.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 73 (1-100)
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Hag'lhr shimmers and vanishes like a mirage as it banks away from the fading glory of its target, making full use of his battle cloak.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The K't'inga meanwhile begins laying down covering fire on Daramar as it begins moving in one direction, covered by a bird of prey.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 33 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Last BoP tries to find Hag'Ihr to no avail and joins in assisting the big ship.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - ROUND THREE -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: current status of Thana's target/s?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: The biggest ship (k't'inga) is moving away and focusing on Daramar but one of the heavy raptors is remaining to fight it out with Thana and the battleship along with a BoP
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: ty
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: remaining heavy raptor + bop are on Thana+Battleship, 1 bop on hag'lhr and K't'inga and bop on daramar?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: K't'inga and two bops on Daramar since the BoP lost track of Hag'Ihr after it cloaked again!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Daramar is the biggest target
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: hehe
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana turns it's heavy cannons on the raptor with 1st squadron while 2nd supports the colonial battleship against the bop
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 2 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: but it's more like covering fire rather than actually trying to take it down
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: ...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: and oh no!
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: reroll time
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 60 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Thana drops the raptor's shields below 25% while the squadron move to assist...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Colonial battleship turns on its side, reallocating shielding...strangely to facings other than the one towards the enemy.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 43 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The bird of prey takes the bait and attacks, landing only a few hits before the battleship catches it in a tractor beam.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The small enemy ship quickly polarizes its hull and escapes, but not before the interceptors manage to land a few solid hits and take out most of its shielding.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (back, one sec)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Np!
Egzo@HF_Mudd follows up on the opening Azara created, reappearing to pounce on the other bird.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 27 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: I want to reroll.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Go ahead!
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 63 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: There we go.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Ezgo brings down the BoP's shields fully and cripples it, leaving it spiralling out of control!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | - KU'JHO'S TURN -
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: what's left?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: oh wait I forgot about the Jemmie ship that's still around
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: well, there you go.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I guess that can be aggroing Ku'jho since he got away easy hehe
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Other than that, raptor on Thana and battleship is weakened while biggest ship and two BoPs lay down covering fire on Daramar
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg follows up after the barrage, with a quantum torpedo spread on the raptor engaged with the Thana.
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 13 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: do you have a reroll, or did you already?
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: don't forget you can reroll 1/event
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: I haven't rerolled. Can I?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Mhmm!
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 2 (1-100)
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: doh
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Oh no
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: hmm, intriguing.
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Oh well, it's a faster mover.
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: thats normally my luck
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The raptor manages to jam the torpedo's targeting and it goes wide while the enemy ship breaks off from combat...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - SADIA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The enemy appears to be attempting retreat."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Focus on the K't'inga, target their warp nacelles, assault shuttles move in and on stand-by."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar turns towards the K't'inga, focusing fire at the ship's nacelle(s), while cloaked shuttles follow the target and wait for the order...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 39 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: re-roll or not...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Your call!
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: going for re+roll
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 6 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Wow...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: ah well
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Everyone is having bad luck with rerolls
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "wait, wait, I want to keep my first" "doesn't work that way" "d'oh!"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The K't'inga manages to tank the hits with its shields until the remaining birds of prey and Jem'Hadar attack ship arrives to assist.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The attack ship uses an antiproton sweep to reveal the cloaked shuttles, which the BoPs promptly chase off while the attack ship itself challenges the Daramar.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 23 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The raptor retreats out of targetting range but doesn't manage to warp away just yet.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 95 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The attack ship delays Daramar enough for the K't'inga to safely get out of firing range and jump to warp!
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 95 (1-100)
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: hax
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: and /now/ the high enemy rolls. ah well.
[Team] Lorri@crystyll:
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Both BoPs warp out after it, leaving the raptor and attack ship still in the field.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Good thing they're for retreats and not attacks hehe
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I was hoping you wouldn't stop the K't'inga though because this leads to interesting things!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - CLEANUP ROUND -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Still gonna do turns until everything on the field is dead or escaped!
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana would attempt to drop the last of the raptor's shields before taking it's engines out with a torpedo
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 68 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Thana drops the raptor's shields and its torpedo deals significant damage to its aft, reducing its speed to less than a quarter impulse, though it still tries to move with its remaining -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - engine capability and current inertia.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The battleship lines up with the raptor again...
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 54 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | A powerful coilgun shot tears through the raptor's hull, crippling engines and what is left of its systems, leaving it dead in space.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | - EGZO'S TURN -
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: only attack ship left?
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Yup!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: It's much less modified than the rest too, closer to a typical Dominion war era attack ship
Egzo@HF_Mudd engages the 'bug' in a dogfight.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 13 (1-100)
Egzo@HF_Mudd can't get a good shot!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Divert assault shuttles to disabled ships."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - KU'JHO'S TURN -
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg brings his ship a bout and targets the last ship with his forward tetryon cannons, firing rapid.
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 14 (1-100)
[Team] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Shoots his tactical officer!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | It seems the Jem'Hadar ship might not be the most heavily modified, but it's taken a few good engine mods...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - SADIA'S TURN -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Tractor beam that slippery bugger, and follow up with torpedo spread!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar tries to catch the bug in a tractor beam net, and smash it with torpedo spam.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 37 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The attack ship uses the same polarizing trick to evade the tractor, but one of the torpedoes manages to detonate near it, bringing its shields to near collapse.
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 92 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | It seems on the verge of escape when it suddenly pauses and turns back, opening fire on Egzo and dropping his shields to 70%!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - LORRI'S TURN -
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Someone's gonna get it eventually...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Surely one bug can't KO the entire task force
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: hehe
Lorri@crystyll FX | Thana would also attempt a tractor lock on it's target, trying to halt the fleeing raptor while Ghost teams prepare to board
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 80 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: this si why sadia loves having more zippy ships around
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | The drifting raptor is stabilized and Ghost teams are able to board over and do their thing!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - AZARA'S TURN -
Egzo@HF_Mudd curses and orders Rritt to go evasive, leaving the task of killing the annoying bug to the rest of the group.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The battleship generates a small gravity well with its deflector to try and hold it in place instead of a tractor beam...
[Emotes] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: rolls 60 (1-100)
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | The Jem'Hadar ship struggles, but is finally caught in a relatively stable position!
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Egzo's turn or jump over to Kujho since he's evading?
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Evading, yes.
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: And trying to rebuild aft shields.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - KU'JHO'S TURN -
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg orders a boarding party to beam onto the Jem vessel while it's weakened and open. "Get over there and bring me the captain!"
[Emotes] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Finally!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Ku'jho's boarding party does a clean sweep, eliminating the crew and capturing the command staff!
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | Task force receives a hail from the fleeing K't'inga...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Assault shuttles from Daramar board the raptor disabled by Ku'jho at the start of battle...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "On screen."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "This should be interesting..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise FX | A cybernetically augmented Klingon appears on screen. He possesses the same style of ridges as General V'Ku for those who have seen the General, but he is visibly younger...
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Cyborg Klingon: "I am D'othak, son of V'Ku. Catch me if you can, either way, today is a good day to die!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *boringly twirls a dagger in her hand* Nice escape, D'othak. Tell your father Captain Cynis sends her regards. I expected him to come at me, but I got tired of waiting.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "I have a report back from the Ghosts. Remaining V'Ku forces are retreating acros the border into Sheliak space"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | D'othak: "Escape? We are not cowards, Captain Cynis. I will see my father in Gre'thor, and you as well, sooner or later."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Apparently they were out here to provoke the Sheliak and lay blame on the KDF. Namely us..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | D'othak gives a villianous smirk before the call ends.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Sheliak. Azara has heard of these people from the Supreme Commander's travels..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Corporate assholes that would give nastiest Cajus from Narris a run for their money. I guess I should send them a warning note..."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Sheliak consider all other life inferior. The Corporate will not distinguish between Network-Klingons and Imperial Klingons. An attack from one will be an attack from all Klingons."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "She's right about that."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "I have them on long range sensors. They are already across the border and Sheliak ships are moving to intercept"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *turns to OPS* Send a priority message to High Command and inform them of the situation.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Captain Cynis' task force is already at war with the Breen, no?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Yes, but we are not in conflict with the Sheliak."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Azara admits that this task force is impressive, but Captain Cynis will not survive a war on two fronts."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "What do you suggest?"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Network-Klingons are not far past the border. There is only one option. Eliminate all witnesses. Network /and/ Sheliak."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Negotiating with the Sheliak after war has begun will be difficult and tedious. This must be stopped now."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *rises eyebrow* Enemies are price of honor, commander. If Sheliak are incapable or unwilling to discern the difference between V'Ku and us, or listen to us at all, then war it is.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Far more ships will be lost in war than if a strike is carried out now to prevent the Sheliak from ever knowing of this."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "Sheliak space is not small. This force can carry out a sudden strike and clean up the evidence before further reinforcements arrive."
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "All the Sheliak will know is that some ships went missing, and will have no reason to suspect Klingons."
Egzo@HF_Mudd remains silent, deferring to Sadia on this.
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: Yeah this plot has quite a few renegade/paragon decisions...
[Team] T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise: I just keep coming up with these hehe
[Team] Lorri@crystyll: xD
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at other captains* If war with Sheliak will come, it will not be started by my hands - first shot will have to be theirs, unless High Command decides to start war on their own.
Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg nods affirmingly.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I will send a warning to Sheliak Corporate Council, if they wish to ignore us, it is on them.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "War does not have to start, if Captain Cynis strikes swiftly enough. But the choice is not Azara's, as this conflict will impact the Klingons most of all."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: And if they are stupid enough to seek war, Empire will give it to them!
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "As Captain Cynis wishes."
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Note that these are /Klingon/ 'renegade' and 'paragon' ;)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to OPS* Once you send report to High Command, send the warning to the nearest Sheliak station or vessel, and attach all the sensor data about remaining V'Ku's vessels.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Aside from the commander, anyone has any complaints or suggestions?
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: I currently have the captain and hisss command ssstaff from the Jem ssship at your disssposssal Captain Sadia.
Lorri@crystyll shakes her head, "Your op. Your rules. We also have control of the heavy Raptor. With permission, I should like to dissect it's computer for intel and look to recover it as an asset to be repurposed"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Ku'jho* I trust you have personnel capable of...debriefing them. And I can bet cmdr. Azara and Tabadi Lorri have specialists too for this.
Lorri@crystyll nods
[Local] Warhunter Ku'jho@Domarg: Of courssse, I'll coordinate with them both.
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise | Azara: "The Colonial Fleet does indeed have specialists who can assist with interrogation."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Azara* Sure. We are securing other ships, if any are warp capable we are taking them with us, others are to be stripped of useful parts and scuttled before we leave. You have 2 hours.
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "I am confident we can have it warp capable again in that time"
T'Vek of Vulcan@anncarise - END SCENE -
