I have a suspicion that what I have planned for this event may end up running over the allotted 2 and a half hours I usually give myself for KDF events. Would it be too early for everyone if we started at Beta, one hour before the usual time?
Works for me!

Something came up, and I need to be out of town tomorrow when this happens. Someone else grab a log, 'kay?
Awww no worries! I will take a log so you can catch up!
Spoiler: Mission LogShow
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Cynis to Qanwl', we've received the prisoner. My Chief of security informs me they're moved to max. security cell.
Lexi@crystyll: <C> Understood boss, have fun!
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Fun? They'll just stay in the cell until OSN pick them up.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Daramar to Kayeri Vaj, do you copy?
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Kayeri Vaj here. All good with securing the Eye?"
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Yes, what is the plan with the prisoner?
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Think you can get any intel out of him. Most of my girls are cyber-specialists, we're better at trying to get info from that Galor than the Eye himself."
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Very well, but I'm not holding my hope's up. If that cardie has any proper intel training, they'll be very resilient to torture, even telepathy. If you want, I can send doctor Nadum and his -
Sadia@gulremal: - lethean assistants to squeeze any info from them, but that runs risk of turning them into a mental vegetable.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Aside from that, I can have security folks "soften" them up for any future attempts of yours.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Let's not risk it too much. They can do some basic telepathic 'scans,' right? Something less damaging but probably not as effective either.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> I guess they can, but cardassians are naturally resilient to that. Can't hurt, well at least us, to try.
Sadia@gulremal: *taps coms* Cynis to Nadum.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Yeah, worth a try.
Sadia@gulremal: <Nadum> I'm here.
Sadia@gulremal: I need you t-
Sadia@gulremal: <Nadum> Interrogate the new prisoner. Me and my assistants are already underway, captain.
Sadia@gulremal: I hate when you do that.
adia@gulremal: <Nadum> That's what you are paying me for captain. I haven't had the opportunity to test my abilities on the cardassians yet, but I promise I'll try not to damage them...too much.
Sadia@gulremal: Yeah, whatever, cynis out. *shudders*
Kayd@anncarise: <C> So what about the Galor? My girls can dig through its databanks, but what happens with the ship after? Scuttle, scrap, refit?
Sadia@gulremal: <C> There's a lot of different tech in there, right? We can tractor it back to base so we can have a full sweep when we are home.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Good thinking. The warp core's gone and the engines are pretty fried, so it's going to take some drydock work if we do want this ship flying again.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Daramar's got the towing, right?"
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Yes, we can extend warp bubble around it.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Perfect. Thanks again for the assistance, Captain Cynis.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Okay, let's get us going, then. The sooner we are back to base, the better.
Kayd@anncarise FX | Ships set underway back to base...
Kayd@anncarise (Or at least, QanwI, Daramar and Kayeri Vaj does! Other ships from last time can be cloaked and monitoring the ice planet or just gone off on other business/patrols)
Kayd@anncarise FX | A considerable amount of time passes as they travel at warp back to Starbase 151. As they begin to near the station, Kayeri Vaj contacts the Daramar and Kayd appears on holo.
Kayd@anncarise: "Good to be heading back into familiar space. Any luck with the interrogations?"
Lexi@crystyll 's holo reappears when they get called in, "Hey, what's happening?"
Sadia@gulremal: Well, doctor Nadum has finished his "medical" checkup of the prisoner. Unfortunately, they've got some kind of cybernetic implants that scramble their...what was the word, "memory engrams" so even -
Sadia@gulremal: - the telepaths can't process them. Interesting tech for sure, I can bet Imperial Intelligence would like to get their hands on this.
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 31 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise: "Sounds curious. There's quite a few cybernetics experts in the OSN thanks to Syndicate practices, so hopefully we'll be able to do something about that. We'll be sure to send any info on these -
Kayd@anncarise: - implants along to your intelligence service."
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 93 (1-100)
Sadia@gulremal: That woul definitely be appreciated. Unfortunately no further info would -
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> Captain, something's not right. We are receiving no traffic com activity from the wejpuH tul!
Sadia@gulremal: That's strange indeed, hail the base.
Lexi@crystyll: "Well it's definitely there at least..."
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> I'm getting no response. Trying secure comms...nothing!
Kayd@anncarise: "Comm array malfunction, perhaps? I don't see the base easily getting taken over by hostile forces, not with all your warriors on board."
Lexi@crystyll: "Still, maybe we should approach under cloak to get a better on things, this just doesn't sit right..."
Sadia@gulremal: Yes, but no comms from any other vessels? There should be at least half a dozen civilian ships, and some our ships close by on patrol.
Sadia@gulremal: Comms, see if you can hail any ship in range.
Sadia@gulremal: *to lexi* Solid idea.
Kayd@anncarise nods, "We'll go into signature masking mode as well."
Lexi@crystyll nods and gives the order on her bridge. The QanwI' ripples out of view as it accelerates towards the station to get a closer scan
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> Captain, IKS Nomh responds to hail, they confirm they can't reach the wejpuH tul through subspace comms.
Lexi@crystyll: "Station is at alert status with shields raised, boss. Also seeing some kind of wreck that wasn't there before. Moving in for a closer look
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> Nomh left the station four hours ago, and situation was normal.
Kayd@anncarise | Lexi drops out of holo as it moves towards the wreckage!
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj follows after the QanwI' and Kayd likewise goes out of contact.
Sadia@gulremal: *mutters* Battlestations! Drop us outta warp, we'll ditch the Galor for now.
Kayd@anncarise FX | A good minute passes before Lexi reconnects, and Kayd pops back in a few seconds later.
Sadia@gulremal: Cynis here, we've dropped the Galor and heading there under cloak.
Kayd@anncarise: "There's definitely some kind of comm jamming in effect around the base."
Lexi@crystyll: "That wreck is what's left of a Tuffli freighter
Kayd@anncarise: "I've managed to cut through it and act as a relay in between, but you've got to stay close."
Kayd@anncarise: "No way to reach the base yet. Not until we get closer at least."
Sadia@gulremal: That might be an issue.
Sadia@gulremal: If base can't send us secure access route, we risk getting hit by the mines.
Kayd@anncarise: "And I'm guessing destroying our own minefield is probably a bad idea..."
Sadia@gulremal: Even if it's not, it would take us time to find a secure passage, we'll have to find the source of the comm jam and take it out.
Sadia@gulremal: Are sensors working normally?
Kayd@anncarise: "They seem to be. We're trying to pinpoint the source of the jam or find some way to cut through it."
Sadia@gulremal: We can't use sensors at full power without decloking.
Sadia@gulremal: Daramar is toughest ship around, so we'll be the bait, and it will allows us to fully scan the area. Any ideas how to break through the jam?
Lexi@crystyll: "Not without finding the source"
Kayd@anncarise nods, "I've got all my experts working on it, and we haven't found a way yet."
Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Tactical, drop the cloak, shields to full. Ops, full area sensor scan.
Sadia@gulremal: See if we can hook up with the outer asteroid belt's sensor array.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 16 (1-100)
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar decloaks and performs a wide area scam- erm scan.
Kayd@anncarise: "Any luck?"
Sadia@gulremal: <OPS> We can't hook up with the outer sensor array with comms being blocked...but there's signs of another cloaked vessel in the vicinity, exact location - what the...
Kayd@anncarise FX | There is an explosion off the port side of the Daramar. Sadia's feed cuts momentarily on the other ships before returning. Daramar's port shields have taken the hit but are down now.
Sadia@gulremal: What's going on! Report!
Sadia@gulremal: <Tactical> We've suffered a direct hit! Our shields are down!
Sadia@gulremal: What?! Who hit us?
Sadia@gulremal: <OPS> It's the mines, captain! We've moved too close to the minefield!
Sadia@gulremal: Full reverse! PD turrets on the double, target any other object that tries to close in!
Kayd@anncarise FX | As the Daramar reverses, there is a flicker in the space behind it...
Sadia@gulremal: Qanwl', Kayeri Vaj, watch out we might have mines incoming!
Kayd@anncarise | Slowly, a massive ship begins to decloak, matching the Daramar's size and appearing roughly Klingon, albeit very heavily modified.
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' comes to a full stop while they try to figure a way to detect the mines
Kayd@anncarise: ((https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/sto_gamepedia/3/3a/Assimilated_Carrier.jpg?version=7815d70b8bb94d6a22ec9b57743a12bf))
Lexi@crystyll attempts directional tachyon sweep for a radar-esque navigational aid
Kayd@anncarise: (sensor rolls!)
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 65 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 21 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj assists with the tachyon sweep.
Kayd@anncarise | Together, they reveal the location of the cloaked mines in their immediate vicinity, but if they fly any significant distance they'll probably be hit by the rest of the minefield.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 4 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise FX | Meanwhile, two birds of prey decloak beside the modified carrier, and they also seem to have been subject to major modifications making them very distinct from KDF ships.
Lexi@crystyll reads the scans of the new arrivals, "I'm guessing they're not friends of yours...?"
Kayd@anncarise | A heavy raptor appears behind the Daramar and rather close to the position of one of the mines the sweep revealed. However, the mine doesn't seem to be going for those ships...
Kayd@anncarise: "They look like they're rather friendly with the minefield..."
Sadia@gulremal: Watch out they are powering up something! Boost the SIF! All turrets open fire!!!ž
Kayd@anncarise: -ROUND ONE-
Kayd@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's cannon turrets open fire at the unknown ships behind it (at least the ones that have the reach), as ship strengthens it's SIF.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 93 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | The carrier fires back with its turrets, but thanks to the strengthened SIF Daramar takes the hits with only superficial damage. Daramar's shots don't do much to the carrier, though the ones -
Kayd@anncarise - that hit the birds of preys' shields seem to have damaged them enough for the carrier to begin sharing its shield bubble with them.
Kayd@anncarise | This allocation of energy seems to have lowered the buildup at the carrier's nose, but it's still growing...
Kayd@anncarise -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll: "Kayd are you familiar with an old Earth pastime of 'bowling'?"
Sadia@gulremal: Lexi, Kayd, get outta that minefield and see if you can flank that carrier!
Kayd@anncarise: "I've heard of it..."
Lexi@crystyll: "How about we introduce it to our uninvited guests!" she turns and barks orders on her bridge...
Lexi@crystyll FX | Under cloak, QanwI' uses it's tachyon radar to skim the detection zone of as many mines as it can en route to the frey, drawing them into a trail behind it
Lexi@crystyll: "Full power to intertial dampeners, this will get close!"
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' flies straight at the raptor, banking and skimming around it leaving the mines to follow, she hopes...
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 43 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | The mines follow as expected. The raptor initially stands its ground but begins to break off as the mines draw closer, seemingly aware of their location as well. Most of the mines dash past -
Kayd@anncarise - and ignores the raptor, but one of them skims the raptor's shields as it breaks away too late, and the resulting explosion catches the raptor enough to drop its shields!
Kayd@anncarise: -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise: "Nice moves!"
Lexi@crystyll: "HA! They're yours for the taking!"
Kayd@anncarise tries to determine the source of the jamming and cut it off if possible.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 15 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise: "As I suspected...jamming's coming from the carrier and it's going to take a lot of mines to take that thing down..."
Kayd@anncarise FX | Carrier launches one wing of To'Duj fighters which joins one of the birds of prey. They advance towards the raptor's position, seemingly hunting for what made the mines hit their fellow ship.
Kayd@anncarise: "Everyone else reading that energy buildup from the carrier too?"
Kayd@anncarise | Carrier itself lays down basic turret fire at the Daramar, unable to penetrate its hull with such basic attacks.
Sadia@gulremal: Yes, and we should do what we can to stop it!
Kayd@anncarise: "It's signature is real close to that Scryer Network salvage dreadnought. Not exact, but one of my girls was at the colony during the attack and she says this is just a smaller version -
Kayd@anncarise: - of that weapon..."
Kayd@anncarise -ROUND TWO-
Kayd@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
Sadia@gulremal: Oh well, who wants to live forever? Auxiliary power to aft SIF, emergency power to engines, FULL REVERSE and brace for impact!
Sadia@gulremal: *mutters as she grabs the handholds* This thing's only good for rammin things it seems...
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar boosts it's aft SIF and transfers free power from non-existent shields into engines, thrusters burning full power as it speeds at full reverse towards the carrier...
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 81 (1-100)
Sadia@gulremal: Once we breach the shields, have the assault teams read-
Kayd@anncarise FX | The modified bits on the carrier's nose stab into the Daramar and the ram is slow, more akin to the Enterprise ram in Nemesis. Bulkheads groan, hull breaches go off, but the maneuver seems -
Kayd@anncarise - to have completely cut off the energy buildup from the carrier!
Lexi@crystyll: "Damn boss, you don't do things by halves do you..."
Sadia@gulremal: -y to beam over!
Sadia@gulremal: Prep any shuttles that are still flyable if transporters don't work!
Kayd@anncarise | Carrier's fore shields fail! Its structural integrity seems largely intact though, and most of the damage has been done to the mods on the nose.
Sadia@gulremal: And keep those engines burnin'!
Kayd@anncarise | Boarding parties begin to beam over, but transporter signals appear on the Daramar as well...it seems the carrier's got the same idea!
Kayd@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll: "Just the opening we needed boss! Power all weapons and prepare to drop cloak!"
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' swings around Daramar with it's trail of mines in tow, punching through the collapsed carrier shield and flying straight into it's hangar bay! Cloak drops amidst a barrage of cannonfire +
Lexi@crystyll: + and torpedoes aimed at the rear of the hangar to create an exit
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 23 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 56 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI manages to get into the hangar and its cannons obliterate the inside, destroying the fighters remaining and wrecking the infrastructure. A torpedo manages to destroy the hangar entirely, -
Kayd@anncarise - allowing the QanwI to escape, though the damage was unfortunately not severe enough to cripple the rest of the carrier.
Kayd@anncarise -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj attempts to deploy Ghost Operatives through the downed fore shield of the carrier.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 64 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll: "Wooot! I'll call that a strike! HAHA!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Ghost Operatives are in!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Let's see...source is coming from the sixth deck..."
Kayd@anncarise FX | The comms clear up! All ships are picking up a repeating broadcast from the starbase.
Kayd@anncarise | "WejpuH Tul minefield compromised! DO NOT approach!"
Lexi@crystyll facepalms at hearing the message
Kayd@anncarise FX | Meanwhile, Daramar's warriors are fighting both on the home front and on board the carrier. Reports come in that the enemy is Klingon, but barely...
Sadia@gulremal: Ah well at least they tried! Cynis to 151, provide long range cover fire against enemy support ships, but be careful not to hit us!
Kayd@anncarise | Many of them seem to be heavily cybernetically modified, with red glowing eyes or robotic arms and legs. They seem to come in various different forms of dress, but all of them display what -
Kayd@anncarise - appears to be a House sigil somewhere on the armour/clothing.
Kayd@anncarise | One report however would probably stand out most to Sadia- Daramar's brig is breached, and enemy forces have taken the Cardassian prisoner!
Sadia@gulremal: Security and remaining assault forces, secure main engineering and computer core! If possible, send couple of teams to reinforce the brig!
Sadia@gulremal: *curses as new report rolls in*
Kayd@anncarise -ROUND THREE-
Kayd@anncarise | Fire from the starbase drives the raptor, the bird of prey and the fighter squadron previously hunting QanwI to retreat.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 57 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Raptor suffers moderate damage and several fighters lose their shields.
Sadia@gulremal: Tactical, prepare for a high turn and charge the autocannon! On my mark, now!
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar keeps pushing back but also starts turning to one side...it will probably take a bit for full turn!
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI's maneuver has attracted the attention of the other bird of prey, which begins to chase down Lexi...
Kayd@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 93 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise FX | Sadia's maneuver shears off the entire nose of the carrier, freeing both ships from the ram-lock and inflicting major damage to the enemy ship!
Kayd@anncarise -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll: "Lock forward trajectory and bring us about and... fire!"
Sadia@gulremal: Take that you abomination!
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' does it's token insane 180 while continuing direction (fly backwards) bringing forward cannons to bare on the BoP
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 66 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI gets a straight view at the BoP as it unleashes its cannon fire. The frame is definitely Klingon, but it looks like it was thrown together from several different classes of Bird of Prey, -
Kayd@anncarise: - not to mention several pieces so odd they can't be placed at all. The abomination fires back but only scratches QanwI's shield. It tries to break off but is too late and its already weakened -
Kayd@anncarise: - shields crumble under the cannonfire before it bursts into pieces. It actually looks less out of place in different pieces...
Kayd@anncarise: -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise tries to restore the minefield now that the jamming is off, and have it target the enemy instead.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 52 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll QanwI's tail burns bright as it shifts to fly ahead, barrel rolling through the exploded wreck and back towards the main frey
Kayd@anncarise: "Captain Cynis, I think I can get the minefield back on our side but I'm going to need all your starbase's information on it...even ones I'm not authorized to have."
Sadia@gulremal: *grunts* Cynis to 151 transfer command codes for the minefield to OSN Kayeri Vay, authorization Cynis-427.
Sadia@gulremal: *Vaj
Kayd@anncarise: "Thanks. I'll get it back online ASAP."
NPK@annpc#5570 FX | The turbolift doors on Daramar's bridge bursts open and a number of enemies begin pouring in.
NPK@annpc#5570 | The reports are accurate: they are Klingon, but monstrosities of a Klingon, many of them outfitted from head to metal toes in cybernetics.
Sadia@gulremal: *curses as she grabs her pistol*
Sadia@gulremal: Enemies on the bridge!
NPK@annpc#5570 | Daramar's bridge officers spring to action, fighting off the boarders, but the enemy seem to have secured the central walkway.
Sadia@gulremal: *taps her chair comms* Security to the bridge!
NPK@annpc#5570 | A older Klingon walks down this central pathway, a mek'leth in his right hand. His left hand meanwhile appears disproportionately large and is clearly artificial.
NPK@annpc#5570 | His left eye is also artificial in nature and equally mismatched, much larger than his right and appearing to bulge out of his face.
NPK@annpc#5570 | He gives a wicked grin as he advances up the steps, "So you are the famous Orion captain of Task Force Hurq Mevik."
Sadia@gulremal: *she moves up* I am. And who are you?
NPK@annpc#5570: "I am General V'Ku of the Forsaken House of V'Ku."
Sadia@gulremal: Forsaken?
Lexi@crystyll observes the exchange on Daramar over holo while QanwI' circles around the Carrier attempting to isolate the Cardie Eye's lifesigns for a transporter lock
NPK@annpc#5570: "By your Empire. But I do not return for revenge, nothing so poetic. This is business, and my forces were simply the most suited to the job."
NPK@annpc#5570: "I am still Klingon though. And I will relish in claiming a kill as prestigious as you personally..."
NPK@annpc#5570 | In the background more and more Daramar security forces beam down, and V'Ku's forces are beginning to be overwhelmed.
Lexi@crystyll QanwI' expands it's search to include Daramar when no trace is found
Sadia@gulremal: Well, time to put you outta business, General. *fires the disruptor pistol at him*
Lexi@crystyll: "Kayd, can you do anything to cut through lifesign masking? It looks like they're trying to hide the Eye from us"
NPK@annpc#5570 | Energy flickers around his body as a personal shield seems to absorb the impact. He grins and raises his mek'leth, but notices his warriors are getting overwhelmed.
NPK@annpc#5570 looks out the window to see his remaining Bird of Prey seemingly spontaneously combust as one of the mines turn on it!
Sadia@gulremal: *mutters as the enemy's PSG absorbs the fire, drops the gun and draws her own sword*
Kayd@anncarise: "Mines are friendly again! I'll see what I can do about the lifesign masking..."
Sadia@gulremal: I guess it does pay to bring knife to a gun fight after all!
NPK@annpc#5570: "Hm. Perhaps your task force is tougher than I thought. Good. More of a challenge!"
NPK@annpc#5570: "We will save this fight for another day, Captain. A day which I will much anticipate..."
NPK@annpc#5570 taps his left arm and shouts, "HeD!"
Sadia@gulremal: I'm sooo glad we are up to your specs. Leaving already?
Sadia@gulremal: So long, Forsaken one.
NPK@annpc#5570 FX | A second later, V'Ku and his remaining warriors disappear into red transporter beams.
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Unless more contestants move up, she turns back to her command chair.
Kayd@anncarise: "We have- no wait...I'm reading two...three...multiple Cardassian lifesigns popping up on that carrier.
Sadia@gulremal: All guns target that carrier!
Lexi@crystyll: "Give me a lock on them. We'll take every damn one if we have to!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Gisjacheh! They're messing with my scanning attempts!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Locking o-"
Sadia@gulremal: Open fire! Don't let them get away!
Kayd@anncarise FX | The carrier jumps to warp and the Daramar's shots go into empty space.
Sadia@gulremal: *sighs* Well, drats.
Kayd@anncarise FX | A few seconds later, the raptor and remaining fighters retreat as well.
Lexi@crystyll curses, slamming a fist into her own armrest
Sadia@gulremal: Security, I want a full sweep of the ship for any stragglers or signs of sabotage.
Sadia@gulremal: Engineering, bring the shields back online.
Sadia@gulremal: Cynis to all allied ships, status report.
Kayd@anncarise | Allies ships report in. Only loss seems to be that poor freighter that attempted to approach the station after the minefield was hacked.
Lexi@crystyll: "QanwI's is fighting fit. May need to touch up some paint on the wings again though. Got a bit tight a few times there..."
Kayd@anncarise: "Kayeri Vaj is undamaged. Got all our Ghosts back before the carrier retreated."
Kayd@anncarise: "Minefield is registering us as friendly again. Apart from being short on a few mines it's mostly intact."
Sadia@gulremal: Glad to hear that. Unfortunately, whatever assault teams that managed to beam over to the enemy are dead.
Sadia@gulremal: This "forsaken" House of V'Ku. I never heard of them.
Kayd@anncarise: "Might be why they're forsaken..."
Sadia@gulremal: I know about discommendated houses, but forsaken? That sounds like a whole new level of screw ups.
Sadia@gulremal: We bloodied them quite a bit, but in the end, they've got what they came for...
Lexi@crystyll: "Well whoever they are, they dropped off the radar before my time with House politics"
Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Well, they are on the Scryer's payroll now.
Kayd@anncarise: "And looks like they're getting his tech too."
Kayd@anncarise: "The visual records the Ghosts got...some of them have more mods than the worst Syndicate thugs I've seen..."
Sadia@gulremal: Those bastards never fail to surprise, I'll give them that. And I'll have to talk to 151 staff, we need another round of security updates...
Lexi@crystyll: "When we get back on the station, I shall consult with Lady Tinith. She was at Dronurr's side for many years and may be more familiar with this House"
Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Not all is lost yet. But let us secure the system first, and plot vengeance afterwards.
Lexi@crystyll: "Naturally"
Kayd@anncarise: "The OSN's been in contact with an Imperial Intelligence operative who's looking into the Scryer Network as well."
Kayd@anncarise: "He's mostly been dealing with the Nausicaan cell in the Beta Quadrant closer to Klingon space, but I'll see if I can contact him for some intel on this forsaken house."
Sadia@gulremal: Very well. Get whatever info you can, I'll call the staff meeting soon.
Sadia@gulremal: Good luck. Cynis out.
Kayd@anncarise: -END SCENE-
Lexi@crystyll: <C> Understood boss, have fun!
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Fun? They'll just stay in the cell until OSN pick them up.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Daramar to Kayeri Vaj, do you copy?
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Kayeri Vaj here. All good with securing the Eye?"
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Yes, what is the plan with the prisoner?
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Think you can get any intel out of him. Most of my girls are cyber-specialists, we're better at trying to get info from that Galor than the Eye himself."
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Very well, but I'm not holding my hope's up. If that cardie has any proper intel training, they'll be very resilient to torture, even telepathy. If you want, I can send doctor Nadum and his -
Sadia@gulremal: - lethean assistants to squeeze any info from them, but that runs risk of turning them into a mental vegetable.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Aside from that, I can have security folks "soften" them up for any future attempts of yours.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Let's not risk it too much. They can do some basic telepathic 'scans,' right? Something less damaging but probably not as effective either.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> I guess they can, but cardassians are naturally resilient to that. Can't hurt, well at least us, to try.
Sadia@gulremal: *taps coms* Cynis to Nadum.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Yeah, worth a try.
Sadia@gulremal: <Nadum> I'm here.
Sadia@gulremal: I need you t-
Sadia@gulremal: <Nadum> Interrogate the new prisoner. Me and my assistants are already underway, captain.
Sadia@gulremal: I hate when you do that.
adia@gulremal: <Nadum> That's what you are paying me for captain. I haven't had the opportunity to test my abilities on the cardassians yet, but I promise I'll try not to damage them...too much.
Sadia@gulremal: Yeah, whatever, cynis out. *shudders*
Kayd@anncarise: <C> So what about the Galor? My girls can dig through its databanks, but what happens with the ship after? Scuttle, scrap, refit?
Sadia@gulremal: <C> There's a lot of different tech in there, right? We can tractor it back to base so we can have a full sweep when we are home.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Good thinking. The warp core's gone and the engines are pretty fried, so it's going to take some drydock work if we do want this ship flying again.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Daramar's got the towing, right?"
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Yes, we can extend warp bubble around it.
Kayd@anncarise: <C> Perfect. Thanks again for the assistance, Captain Cynis.
Sadia@gulremal: <C> Okay, let's get us going, then. The sooner we are back to base, the better.
Kayd@anncarise FX | Ships set underway back to base...
Kayd@anncarise (Or at least, QanwI, Daramar and Kayeri Vaj does! Other ships from last time can be cloaked and monitoring the ice planet or just gone off on other business/patrols)
Kayd@anncarise FX | A considerable amount of time passes as they travel at warp back to Starbase 151. As they begin to near the station, Kayeri Vaj contacts the Daramar and Kayd appears on holo.
Kayd@anncarise: "Good to be heading back into familiar space. Any luck with the interrogations?"
Lexi@crystyll 's holo reappears when they get called in, "Hey, what's happening?"
Sadia@gulremal: Well, doctor Nadum has finished his "medical" checkup of the prisoner. Unfortunately, they've got some kind of cybernetic implants that scramble their...what was the word, "memory engrams" so even -
Sadia@gulremal: - the telepaths can't process them. Interesting tech for sure, I can bet Imperial Intelligence would like to get their hands on this.
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 31 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise: "Sounds curious. There's quite a few cybernetics experts in the OSN thanks to Syndicate practices, so hopefully we'll be able to do something about that. We'll be sure to send any info on these -
Kayd@anncarise: - implants along to your intelligence service."
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 93 (1-100)
Sadia@gulremal: That woul definitely be appreciated. Unfortunately no further info would -
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> Captain, something's not right. We are receiving no traffic com activity from the wejpuH tul!
Sadia@gulremal: That's strange indeed, hail the base.
Lexi@crystyll: "Well it's definitely there at least..."
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> I'm getting no response. Trying secure comms...nothing!
Kayd@anncarise: "Comm array malfunction, perhaps? I don't see the base easily getting taken over by hostile forces, not with all your warriors on board."
Lexi@crystyll: "Still, maybe we should approach under cloak to get a better on things, this just doesn't sit right..."
Sadia@gulremal: Yes, but no comms from any other vessels? There should be at least half a dozen civilian ships, and some our ships close by on patrol.
Sadia@gulremal: Comms, see if you can hail any ship in range.
Sadia@gulremal: *to lexi* Solid idea.
Kayd@anncarise nods, "We'll go into signature masking mode as well."
Lexi@crystyll nods and gives the order on her bridge. The QanwI' ripples out of view as it accelerates towards the station to get a closer scan
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> Captain, IKS Nomh responds to hail, they confirm they can't reach the wejpuH tul through subspace comms.
Lexi@crystyll: "Station is at alert status with shields raised, boss. Also seeing some kind of wreck that wasn't there before. Moving in for a closer look
Sadia@gulremal: <Comm officer> Nomh left the station four hours ago, and situation was normal.
Kayd@anncarise | Lexi drops out of holo as it moves towards the wreckage!
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj follows after the QanwI' and Kayd likewise goes out of contact.
Sadia@gulremal: *mutters* Battlestations! Drop us outta warp, we'll ditch the Galor for now.
Kayd@anncarise FX | A good minute passes before Lexi reconnects, and Kayd pops back in a few seconds later.
Sadia@gulremal: Cynis here, we've dropped the Galor and heading there under cloak.
Kayd@anncarise: "There's definitely some kind of comm jamming in effect around the base."
Lexi@crystyll: "That wreck is what's left of a Tuffli freighter
Kayd@anncarise: "I've managed to cut through it and act as a relay in between, but you've got to stay close."
Kayd@anncarise: "No way to reach the base yet. Not until we get closer at least."
Sadia@gulremal: That might be an issue.
Sadia@gulremal: If base can't send us secure access route, we risk getting hit by the mines.
Kayd@anncarise: "And I'm guessing destroying our own minefield is probably a bad idea..."
Sadia@gulremal: Even if it's not, it would take us time to find a secure passage, we'll have to find the source of the comm jam and take it out.
Sadia@gulremal: Are sensors working normally?
Kayd@anncarise: "They seem to be. We're trying to pinpoint the source of the jam or find some way to cut through it."
Sadia@gulremal: We can't use sensors at full power without decloking.
Sadia@gulremal: Daramar is toughest ship around, so we'll be the bait, and it will allows us to fully scan the area. Any ideas how to break through the jam?
Lexi@crystyll: "Not without finding the source"
Kayd@anncarise nods, "I've got all my experts working on it, and we haven't found a way yet."
Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Tactical, drop the cloak, shields to full. Ops, full area sensor scan.
Sadia@gulremal: See if we can hook up with the outer asteroid belt's sensor array.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 16 (1-100)
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar decloaks and performs a wide area scam- erm scan.
Kayd@anncarise: "Any luck?"
Sadia@gulremal: <OPS> We can't hook up with the outer sensor array with comms being blocked...but there's signs of another cloaked vessel in the vicinity, exact location - what the...
Kayd@anncarise FX | There is an explosion off the port side of the Daramar. Sadia's feed cuts momentarily on the other ships before returning. Daramar's port shields have taken the hit but are down now.
Sadia@gulremal: What's going on! Report!
Sadia@gulremal: <Tactical> We've suffered a direct hit! Our shields are down!
Sadia@gulremal: What?! Who hit us?
Sadia@gulremal: <OPS> It's the mines, captain! We've moved too close to the minefield!
Sadia@gulremal: Full reverse! PD turrets on the double, target any other object that tries to close in!
Kayd@anncarise FX | As the Daramar reverses, there is a flicker in the space behind it...
Sadia@gulremal: Qanwl', Kayeri Vaj, watch out we might have mines incoming!
Kayd@anncarise | Slowly, a massive ship begins to decloak, matching the Daramar's size and appearing roughly Klingon, albeit very heavily modified.
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' comes to a full stop while they try to figure a way to detect the mines
Kayd@anncarise: ((https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/sto_gamepedia/3/3a/Assimilated_Carrier.jpg?version=7815d70b8bb94d6a22ec9b57743a12bf))
)){kind=link}
Lexi@crystyll attempts directional tachyon sweep for a radar-esque navigational aid
Kayd@anncarise: (sensor rolls!)
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 65 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 21 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj assists with the tachyon sweep.
Kayd@anncarise | Together, they reveal the location of the cloaked mines in their immediate vicinity, but if they fly any significant distance they'll probably be hit by the rest of the minefield.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 4 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise FX | Meanwhile, two birds of prey decloak beside the modified carrier, and they also seem to have been subject to major modifications making them very distinct from KDF ships.
Lexi@crystyll reads the scans of the new arrivals, "I'm guessing they're not friends of yours...?"
Kayd@anncarise | A heavy raptor appears behind the Daramar and rather close to the position of one of the mines the sweep revealed. However, the mine doesn't seem to be going for those ships...
Kayd@anncarise: "They look like they're rather friendly with the minefield..."
Sadia@gulremal: Watch out they are powering up something! Boost the SIF! All turrets open fire!!!ž
Kayd@anncarise: -ROUND ONE-
Kayd@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's cannon turrets open fire at the unknown ships behind it (at least the ones that have the reach), as ship strengthens it's SIF.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 93 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | The carrier fires back with its turrets, but thanks to the strengthened SIF Daramar takes the hits with only superficial damage. Daramar's shots don't do much to the carrier, though the ones -
Kayd@anncarise - that hit the birds of preys' shields seem to have damaged them enough for the carrier to begin sharing its shield bubble with them.
Kayd@anncarise | This allocation of energy seems to have lowered the buildup at the carrier's nose, but it's still growing...
Kayd@anncarise -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll: "Kayd are you familiar with an old Earth pastime of 'bowling'?"
Sadia@gulremal: Lexi, Kayd, get outta that minefield and see if you can flank that carrier!
Kayd@anncarise: "I've heard of it..."
Lexi@crystyll: "How about we introduce it to our uninvited guests!" she turns and barks orders on her bridge...
Lexi@crystyll FX | Under cloak, QanwI' uses it's tachyon radar to skim the detection zone of as many mines as it can en route to the frey, drawing them into a trail behind it
Lexi@crystyll: "Full power to intertial dampeners, this will get close!"
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' flies straight at the raptor, banking and skimming around it leaving the mines to follow, she hopes...
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 43 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | The mines follow as expected. The raptor initially stands its ground but begins to break off as the mines draw closer, seemingly aware of their location as well. Most of the mines dash past -
Kayd@anncarise - and ignores the raptor, but one of them skims the raptor's shields as it breaks away too late, and the resulting explosion catches the raptor enough to drop its shields!
Kayd@anncarise: -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise: "Nice moves!"
Lexi@crystyll: "HA! They're yours for the taking!"
Kayd@anncarise tries to determine the source of the jamming and cut it off if possible.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 15 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise: "As I suspected...jamming's coming from the carrier and it's going to take a lot of mines to take that thing down..."
Kayd@anncarise FX | Carrier launches one wing of To'Duj fighters which joins one of the birds of prey. They advance towards the raptor's position, seemingly hunting for what made the mines hit their fellow ship.
Kayd@anncarise: "Everyone else reading that energy buildup from the carrier too?"
Kayd@anncarise | Carrier itself lays down basic turret fire at the Daramar, unable to penetrate its hull with such basic attacks.
Sadia@gulremal: Yes, and we should do what we can to stop it!
Kayd@anncarise: "It's signature is real close to that Scryer Network salvage dreadnought. Not exact, but one of my girls was at the colony during the attack and she says this is just a smaller version -
Kayd@anncarise: - of that weapon..."
Kayd@anncarise -ROUND TWO-
Kayd@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
Sadia@gulremal: Oh well, who wants to live forever? Auxiliary power to aft SIF, emergency power to engines, FULL REVERSE and brace for impact!
Sadia@gulremal: *mutters as she grabs the handholds* This thing's only good for rammin things it seems...
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar boosts it's aft SIF and transfers free power from non-existent shields into engines, thrusters burning full power as it speeds at full reverse towards the carrier...
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 81 (1-100)
Sadia@gulremal: Once we breach the shields, have the assault teams read-
Kayd@anncarise FX | The modified bits on the carrier's nose stab into the Daramar and the ram is slow, more akin to the Enterprise ram in Nemesis. Bulkheads groan, hull breaches go off, but the maneuver seems -
Kayd@anncarise - to have completely cut off the energy buildup from the carrier!
Lexi@crystyll: "Damn boss, you don't do things by halves do you..."
Sadia@gulremal: -y to beam over!
Sadia@gulremal: Prep any shuttles that are still flyable if transporters don't work!
Kayd@anncarise | Carrier's fore shields fail! Its structural integrity seems largely intact though, and most of the damage has been done to the mods on the nose.
Sadia@gulremal: And keep those engines burnin'!
Kayd@anncarise | Boarding parties begin to beam over, but transporter signals appear on the Daramar as well...it seems the carrier's got the same idea!
Kayd@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll: "Just the opening we needed boss! Power all weapons and prepare to drop cloak!"
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' swings around Daramar with it's trail of mines in tow, punching through the collapsed carrier shield and flying straight into it's hangar bay! Cloak drops amidst a barrage of cannonfire +
Lexi@crystyll: + and torpedoes aimed at the rear of the hangar to create an exit
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 23 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 56 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI manages to get into the hangar and its cannons obliterate the inside, destroying the fighters remaining and wrecking the infrastructure. A torpedo manages to destroy the hangar entirely, -
Kayd@anncarise - allowing the QanwI to escape, though the damage was unfortunately not severe enough to cripple the rest of the carrier.
Kayd@anncarise -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj attempts to deploy Ghost Operatives through the downed fore shield of the carrier.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 64 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll: "Wooot! I'll call that a strike! HAHA!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Ghost Operatives are in!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Let's see...source is coming from the sixth deck..."
Kayd@anncarise FX | The comms clear up! All ships are picking up a repeating broadcast from the starbase.
Kayd@anncarise | "WejpuH Tul minefield compromised! DO NOT approach!"
Lexi@crystyll facepalms at hearing the message
Kayd@anncarise FX | Meanwhile, Daramar's warriors are fighting both on the home front and on board the carrier. Reports come in that the enemy is Klingon, but barely...
Sadia@gulremal: Ah well at least they tried! Cynis to 151, provide long range cover fire against enemy support ships, but be careful not to hit us!
Kayd@anncarise | Many of them seem to be heavily cybernetically modified, with red glowing eyes or robotic arms and legs. They seem to come in various different forms of dress, but all of them display what -
Kayd@anncarise - appears to be a House sigil somewhere on the armour/clothing.
Kayd@anncarise | One report however would probably stand out most to Sadia- Daramar's brig is breached, and enemy forces have taken the Cardassian prisoner!
Sadia@gulremal: Security and remaining assault forces, secure main engineering and computer core! If possible, send couple of teams to reinforce the brig!
Sadia@gulremal: *curses as new report rolls in*
Kayd@anncarise -ROUND THREE-
Kayd@anncarise | Fire from the starbase drives the raptor, the bird of prey and the fighter squadron previously hunting QanwI to retreat.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 57 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Raptor suffers moderate damage and several fighters lose their shields.
Sadia@gulremal: Tactical, prepare for a high turn and charge the autocannon! On my mark, now!
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar keeps pushing back but also starts turning to one side...it will probably take a bit for full turn!
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI's maneuver has attracted the attention of the other bird of prey, which begins to chase down Lexi...
Kayd@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 93 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise FX | Sadia's maneuver shears off the entire nose of the carrier, freeing both ships from the ram-lock and inflicting major damage to the enemy ship!
Kayd@anncarise -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll: "Lock forward trajectory and bring us about and... fire!"
Sadia@gulremal: Take that you abomination!
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' does it's token insane 180 while continuing direction (fly backwards) bringing forward cannons to bare on the BoP
Lexi@crystyll: rolls 66 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI gets a straight view at the BoP as it unleashes its cannon fire. The frame is definitely Klingon, but it looks like it was thrown together from several different classes of Bird of Prey, -
Kayd@anncarise: - not to mention several pieces so odd they can't be placed at all. The abomination fires back but only scratches QanwI's shield. It tries to break off but is too late and its already weakened -
Kayd@anncarise: - shields crumble under the cannonfire before it bursts into pieces. It actually looks less out of place in different pieces...
Kayd@anncarise: -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise tries to restore the minefield now that the jamming is off, and have it target the enemy instead.
Kayd@anncarise: rolls 52 (1-100)
Lexi@crystyll QanwI's tail burns bright as it shifts to fly ahead, barrel rolling through the exploded wreck and back towards the main frey
Kayd@anncarise: "Captain Cynis, I think I can get the minefield back on our side but I'm going to need all your starbase's information on it...even ones I'm not authorized to have."
Sadia@gulremal: *grunts* Cynis to 151 transfer command codes for the minefield to OSN Kayeri Vay, authorization Cynis-427.
Sadia@gulremal: *Vaj
Kayd@anncarise: "Thanks. I'll get it back online ASAP."
NPK@annpc#5570 FX | The turbolift doors on Daramar's bridge bursts open and a number of enemies begin pouring in.
NPK@annpc#5570 | The reports are accurate: they are Klingon, but monstrosities of a Klingon, many of them outfitted from head to metal toes in cybernetics.
Sadia@gulremal: *curses as she grabs her pistol*
Sadia@gulremal: Enemies on the bridge!
NPK@annpc#5570 | Daramar's bridge officers spring to action, fighting off the boarders, but the enemy seem to have secured the central walkway.
Sadia@gulremal: *taps her chair comms* Security to the bridge!
NPK@annpc#5570 | A older Klingon walks down this central pathway, a mek'leth in his right hand. His left hand meanwhile appears disproportionately large and is clearly artificial.
NPK@annpc#5570 | His left eye is also artificial in nature and equally mismatched, much larger than his right and appearing to bulge out of his face.
NPK@annpc#5570 | He gives a wicked grin as he advances up the steps, "So you are the famous Orion captain of Task Force Hurq Mevik."
Sadia@gulremal: *she moves up* I am. And who are you?
NPK@annpc#5570: "I am General V'Ku of the Forsaken House of V'Ku."
Sadia@gulremal: Forsaken?
Lexi@crystyll observes the exchange on Daramar over holo while QanwI' circles around the Carrier attempting to isolate the Cardie Eye's lifesigns for a transporter lock
NPK@annpc#5570: "By your Empire. But I do not return for revenge, nothing so poetic. This is business, and my forces were simply the most suited to the job."
NPK@annpc#5570: "I am still Klingon though. And I will relish in claiming a kill as prestigious as you personally..."
NPK@annpc#5570 | In the background more and more Daramar security forces beam down, and V'Ku's forces are beginning to be overwhelmed.
Lexi@crystyll QanwI' expands it's search to include Daramar when no trace is found
Sadia@gulremal: Well, time to put you outta business, General. *fires the disruptor pistol at him*
Lexi@crystyll: "Kayd, can you do anything to cut through lifesign masking? It looks like they're trying to hide the Eye from us"
NPK@annpc#5570 | Energy flickers around his body as a personal shield seems to absorb the impact. He grins and raises his mek'leth, but notices his warriors are getting overwhelmed.
NPK@annpc#5570 looks out the window to see his remaining Bird of Prey seemingly spontaneously combust as one of the mines turn on it!
Sadia@gulremal: *mutters as the enemy's PSG absorbs the fire, drops the gun and draws her own sword*
Kayd@anncarise: "Mines are friendly again! I'll see what I can do about the lifesign masking..."
Sadia@gulremal: I guess it does pay to bring knife to a gun fight after all!
NPK@annpc#5570: "Hm. Perhaps your task force is tougher than I thought. Good. More of a challenge!"
NPK@annpc#5570: "We will save this fight for another day, Captain. A day which I will much anticipate..."
NPK@annpc#5570 taps his left arm and shouts, "HeD!"
Sadia@gulremal: I'm sooo glad we are up to your specs. Leaving already?
Sadia@gulremal: So long, Forsaken one.
NPK@annpc#5570 FX | A second later, V'Ku and his remaining warriors disappear into red transporter beams.
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Unless more contestants move up, she turns back to her command chair.
Kayd@anncarise: "We have- no wait...I'm reading two...three...multiple Cardassian lifesigns popping up on that carrier.
Sadia@gulremal: All guns target that carrier!
Lexi@crystyll: "Give me a lock on them. We'll take every damn one if we have to!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Gisjacheh! They're messing with my scanning attempts!"
Kayd@anncarise: "Locking o-"
Sadia@gulremal: Open fire! Don't let them get away!
Kayd@anncarise FX | The carrier jumps to warp and the Daramar's shots go into empty space.
Sadia@gulremal: *sighs* Well, drats.
Kayd@anncarise FX | A few seconds later, the raptor and remaining fighters retreat as well.
Lexi@crystyll curses, slamming a fist into her own armrest
Sadia@gulremal: Security, I want a full sweep of the ship for any stragglers or signs of sabotage.
Sadia@gulremal: Engineering, bring the shields back online.
Sadia@gulremal: Cynis to all allied ships, status report.
Kayd@anncarise | Allies ships report in. Only loss seems to be that poor freighter that attempted to approach the station after the minefield was hacked.
Lexi@crystyll: "QanwI's is fighting fit. May need to touch up some paint on the wings again though. Got a bit tight a few times there..."
Kayd@anncarise: "Kayeri Vaj is undamaged. Got all our Ghosts back before the carrier retreated."
Kayd@anncarise: "Minefield is registering us as friendly again. Apart from being short on a few mines it's mostly intact."
Sadia@gulremal: Glad to hear that. Unfortunately, whatever assault teams that managed to beam over to the enemy are dead.
Sadia@gulremal: This "forsaken" House of V'Ku. I never heard of them.
Kayd@anncarise: "Might be why they're forsaken..."
Sadia@gulremal: I know about discommendated houses, but forsaken? That sounds like a whole new level of screw ups.
Sadia@gulremal: We bloodied them quite a bit, but in the end, they've got what they came for...
Lexi@crystyll: "Well whoever they are, they dropped off the radar before my time with House politics"
Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Well, they are on the Scryer's payroll now.
Kayd@anncarise: "And looks like they're getting his tech too."
Kayd@anncarise: "The visual records the Ghosts got...some of them have more mods than the worst Syndicate thugs I've seen..."
Sadia@gulremal: Those bastards never fail to surprise, I'll give them that. And I'll have to talk to 151 staff, we need another round of security updates...
Lexi@crystyll: "When we get back on the station, I shall consult with Lady Tinith. She was at Dronurr's side for many years and may be more familiar with this House"
Sadia@gulremal: *nods* Not all is lost yet. But let us secure the system first, and plot vengeance afterwards.
Lexi@crystyll: "Naturally"
Kayd@anncarise: "The OSN's been in contact with an Imperial Intelligence operative who's looking into the Scryer Network as well."
Kayd@anncarise: "He's mostly been dealing with the Nausicaan cell in the Beta Quadrant closer to Klingon space, but I'll see if I can contact him for some intel on this forsaken house."
Sadia@gulremal: Very well. Get whatever info you can, I'll call the staff meeting soon.
Sadia@gulremal: Good luck. Cynis out.
Kayd@anncarise: -END SCENE-
