B'Atar@anncarise | LAST TIME ON ZP: The Task Force embarks on a hunt for the ex-KDF General who raided Daramar on the station's doorstep and seized the Cardassian Eye from their brig.
B'Atar@anncarise | They located V'Ku's carrier trying to conduct repairs from salvage in a debris field from a Breen warzone and boarded the vessel.
B'Atar@anncarise | After bearing witness to the atrocities of the rogue House, the Eye was recaptured and the carrier scuttled. However, V'Ku had notified the Breen of the KDF's activities in the area, and the -
B'Atar@anncarise: - long-time foes of the Task Force have arrived in force to deal with them...
B'Atar@anncarise | AND NOW THE CONTINUATION...
B'Atar@anncarise appears on holo on the Daramar bridge, still clad in her battle armour.
Sadia@gulremal: "I want full scan of the Breen forces! Send an call for assistance back to wejpuH tul! Launch all combat-capable shuttles and support craft!"
B'Atar@anncarise | On the viewscreen, multiple Breen ships have begun warping in: a Chel Grett Cruiser and four older Plesh Brek raiders.
Henry@drcrippler is beamed aboard his ship if he isn't already and immeditely cloaks
B'Atar@anncarise | Daramar Officer: "There's more inbound! A carrier, and a raider squadron coming in to flank us! Looks like those newer models too!"
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar starts launching support vessels, while it performs full scan of the incoming enemy forces.
S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix engages her tactical mode
Sadia@gulremal: *Sadia pokes at her chair console and all ships are sent targeting data of the first enemy group - Chel Grett and older Plesh Brek raiders*
Sadia@gulremal: "Tactical! Focus fire on the enemy cruiser, let rest of the squadron deal with the raiders!"
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar turns slightly to face the patrol squadron and fires all frontal weapons - beams, cannons and torpedoes, at the lead Chel Grett cruiser.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 43 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The cruiser seems well aware that it's not a match for Daramar, and goes into evasive maneuvers as it lays down covering fire on the larger KDF ship. Daramar's hits lower its shields, but it's -
B'Atar@anncarise: - diverting much power to them to withstand the attack and though they drop to low levels, doesn't fully fail.
B'Atar@anncarise | Fortunately, low power means their return fire does practically nothing to Daramar's shields.
B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll FX | Under cloak, QanwI' swings around to flank the first wave of raiders, decloaking mid barrel roll with wing cannons lighting up as it sweeps across the pack
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 38 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raiders scramble as the QanwI' appears. The cannon shots lower both their shields to 50% before they have a chance to get clear, however.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SHEK'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' would attempt to recloak as its pass finishes, if free from return fire and able
B'Atar@anncarise | QanwI manages to recloak successfully.
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix brings her main cannons to bare, opening fire with all her forward weapons upon the other pair of Breen raiders
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 40 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Once again, the raiders react quickly, though they take a few hits to their shields in the process.
B'Atar@anncarise -EGZO'S TURN-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | Hag'lhr attempts to take advantage of QanwI's maneuver, angling in on one of the Breen raiders that they scattered before decloaking and opening fire.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 83 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Hag'Ihr manages to take out a raider!
B'Atar@anncarise -HENRY'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Good shot, Egzo! Keep on their tails, don't give em space to flank us!"
Henry@drcrippler darts around the battlefield. As soon as the other ships begin to open fire, the Skyraider targets one scattering ship, decloaks, and brings all her guns to bear, recloaking as soon as the last shot is off and darting away again.
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 33 (1-100)
S'hekclazon@natthaan silently thinks how ironic it is that he's the only one not cloaking.
B'Atar@anncarise | The scattering ships have become more alert after Egzo destroyed one. It dodges and weaves across the battlefield, making it difficult to obtain a target lock. A few of Henry's shots manage to -
B'Atar@anncarise - land and further weaken its shields, but it escapes the sneak attack very much intact.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha charges at the cruiser! ...but wait! It's a feint! The aged Bird of Prey cloaks and changes direction, decloaking on the tail of one of the scrambling raiders and opening fire!
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 83 (1-100)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (nice)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( Kodon used FEINT! It's super effective! ))
B'Atar@anncarise | Kodon's move tricks one of the raiders into not paying as much attention to Hor'Cha as it should, and it becomes the raider's undoing as it explodes into a fiery ball as Hor'Cha reappears!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
B'Atar@anncarise decloaks on the position of the raider Egzo destroyed, using her classic trick of pretending to be a Breen raider to lull the other scrambling raider on that side into a false sense of security -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - before firing.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 98 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Everyone on board that raider dies thinking they were killed by friendly fire.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -ROUND TWO-
B'Atar@anncarise | Five new Plesh Tral raiders warp in behind the group. A quick scan of the ships would reveal that they are definitely superior to the older models they have been fighting so far.
B'Atar@anncarise | A large Breen carrier joins the thick of the battle beside the cruiser. It does not fire immediately, lending some shield strength to the cruiser while scrambling its fighters.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 97 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raiders do not immdiately charge into the fray either. They spread out and take positions before firing well-coordinated tachyon sweeps, forming a complete detection grid...
B'Atar@anncarise | All cloaked ships are now revealed, and cloaking is no longer possible as long as more than 3 Breen raiders remain intact!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "*chuckles* This will be one hell of a fight! Everyone focus on those raiders! Daramar will deal with heavies!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Tactical! I want that cruiser out of the combat ASAP! Fire the autocannon, tight spread, maximum strength!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar stays on his target, it's coaxial autocannon fires up and shoots a concentrated stream of heavy disruptor bolts at the cruiser while it's torpedo launchers reload. The support craft -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - forms around the big ship, ready to provide PD fire.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Wow the dice are on a roll))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((3 continuous high 90s)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (um... i did not just plant a mortar on Daramar's bridge. nothing to see, move along!)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (Move along, move along...)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *pats the mortar "imma call it Morty"*
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (xD)
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: (Dontcha know that's the only way to give orders on this ship? you need to fire it at the crew via T-shirt gun))
B'Atar@anncarise FX | Daramar's shots drop the cruiser's newly replenished shields and damage its engine systems, preventing it from executing any fancy maneuvers or warping away.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Imperix, take it out!"
B'Atar@anncarise | Despite this though, the cruiser seems to have bolstered confidence from the arrival of other ships and goes for Imperix, weapons blazing.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' turns sharp after being forced out of cloak and guns straight for the raiders supporting the net, hitting them with cannons and a torp spread
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 53 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The initial dispersal makes it difficult for Lexi to hit multiple raiders, and she manages to only dent the shields of one raider significantly while grazing the other. The new ones disperse -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - significantly faster than the older models.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( pls confirm - 1 old raider and 5 new models? ))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SHEK'S TURN-
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Yup!))
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix fires off a warcrime ball of plasma at the crusier as ordered by Sadia.
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 43 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 96 (1-100)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (Oh dear)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( ... I think that means you just got it blown up in your face. :/ ))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (ruh-roh...)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: | One of the newly scrambled fighters from the carrier attempts to intercept the warcrime ball of plasma, but the shots miss the projectile. However, the stubborn Breen decides to play hero...
B'Atar@anncarise | The fighter's thrusters fire up to full as it dives straight for the projectile. Streaking across the battlefield, the craft places itself directly in the path of the torpedo.
B'Atar@anncarise | The impact incinerates both the brave pilot and his craft immediately, but due to proximity with the Imperix, the shockwave also brings the Romulan ship's fore shields to low levels...
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((The Breen have their heroes too!))
B'Atar@anncarise -EGZO'S TURN-
S'hekclazon@natthaan starts barking off orders to his crew to reroute shield power.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "*mutters in respect to enemy action* That's sam guts there! Imperix, take cover behind us, someone, I need that cruiser down!"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | <FX> Hag'lhr goes after the sole remaining Plesh Brek, chasing it down and trying to finish the older raider.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 92 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The Breen raider is emboldened by the arrival of allies... too emboldened as it fails to defend against Egzo and the Nausicaan pirate claims yet another kill!
B'Atar@anncarise -HENRY'S TURN-
Henry@drcrippler curses as his cloak is gone.
Henry@drcrippler FX| The Skyraider uses some of its quick movements to circle one of the raiders, and fire off a barrage at it from multiple angles
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 25 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 57 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The Plesh Tral proves to be the quicker craft. The two exchange fire, but Henry barely makes a dent on the Breen vessel, while the Breen manage to get a heavy hit on the Skyraider's shields.
B'Atar@anncarise -KODON'S TURN-
Henry@drcrippler FX| The Skyraider's shields flicker off completely with a small puff trailing the Skyraider as she flies
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha flies through the vapor caused by the explosion of the Breen raider it fired on. The Hor'Cha goes to DO A BARREL ROLL, the corkscrew path of it's flight aiding in evading fire >
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: > from the newly arrived raiders while obfuscating Kodon's actual choice of target... the Cruiser they were originally charging towards. At the end of the roll the Hor'Cha lets loose a barrage of >
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: > torpedoes at the unshielded ship!
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 54 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The fighter squadrons and point defence cannons fend off most of the torpedoes, but one gets through and inflicts massive damage on the unshielded cruiser, scorching its right side, -
B'Atar@anncarise - causing several of the extensions on that portion of the ship to break off. The Breen ship has now lost half its weapons and power levels.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth has not cloaked since the last attack, trying to continue its facade as one of the Breen raiders to engage one of the newly arrived Plesh Trals.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 58 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth does manage to get an opening hit in, but the new Plesh Tral still has full shields and engine power and reacts quickly, and soon the two raiders are in a dance trying to shoot one -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - another at close range (for starships).
B'Atar@anncarise -ROUND THREE-
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 29 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The carrier finally opens fire on Daramar, but doesn't do much damage to its shields. Much like the V'Ku carrier, it's shots are more just a nuisance.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 89 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raiders, however, are a different story. Each Plesh Tral picks one of the smaller Klingon ships and goes for them. Identifying Egzo as the greatest threat, the first squadron of fighters -
B'Atar@anncarise - which is one short (11 total) breaks off to support the raider chasing Hag'Ihr, while the second squadron breaks up into 6 on San'leth and 6 on QanwI', both also iedntified as high priority -
B'Atar@anncarise - targets from prior engagements with the Breen.
B'Atar@anncarise -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves to side, putting the cruiser between themselves and the carrier. It's deflectors generate strong tractor beam repulsors, trying to push the cruiser right into the carrier.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Meanwhile, all support vessels move to intercept/engage the squadron that's going after Egzo.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** technically you can use those support vessels as bonus to egzo's rolls, defense
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 3 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *+ re-rollin that
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Was just about to ask! hehe))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((*accidentally tractor pulls and rams the cruiser into Daramar*))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Daramar BOFF: "C'mon again?!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** shouts from burning bridge "That was completely intentional!!!"
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 59 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( THERE we go. ))
B'Atar@anncarise | The push begins to work, but the cruiser realizes what it's trying to do. It burns what remains of its engine power, trying to counteract the repulsors for as long as it can while its core -
B'Atar@anncarise - suddenly begins to go critical...
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Holding off the explosion for now!))
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' swings around tantalizing it's trailing fighters with the rear turret while veering straight for the dying cruiser. She unleases torp volleys to finish it and hopes to swamp the trailing +
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: + pursuers in the explosions as it plunges through
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 82 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | QanwI' succeeds! The cruiser is finished off before it can self-destruct, and explodes in a fiery ball behind the QanwI'...
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 94 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Unfortunately, the Breen pilots are good. They pull away in time to escape the explosion, though thanks to Daramar's pushing of the cruiser towards the carrier, the explosion does weaken the -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - carrier's starboard shields, dropping it to 30%.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -EGZO'S TURN-
Egzo@HF_Mudd dives for the carrier, strafing its hull while weaving back and forth to avoid fire from his pursuers (hoping some will strike their base ship).
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 20 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( ah well. keeping the roll, rather than tempt disaster. ))
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: (( >.>))
B'Atar@anncarise | The pursuers break off as Hag'Ihr dives for the carrier, allowing the two to exchange shots. The Bird of Prey gets some minor hits in on the carrier, but the carrier's point defence lowers -
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( Also, the manuever I was *going* to pull was diving BETWEEN the cruiser and carrier, daring them to follow into the rapidly closing gap. ))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (then some inconsiderate lout went and blewed up that cruiser *tuts*)
B'Atar@anncarise - Hag'Ihr's shields to 50%. As the ship clears the carrier though, Egzo finds that the raiders have gone around their base ship and continue their chase on the other side...
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | <FX> Hag'lhr pulls away from the carrier, diverting power from weapons to try to firm up the aft shields as the pursuit continues.
B'Atar@anncarise -SHEK'S TURN-
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix again fires off a warcrime ball, this time aimed for the carrier's new weak spots.
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 95 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( that's gonna hurt. ))
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 68 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | This warcrime ball successfully hits its target! The carrier's starboard shields drop and the third wing launching from that side is halved in numbers by the attack!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -HENRY'S TURN-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( Fireworks. Fighters, launching, flaring, dying in the starry black. ))
Henry@drcrippler FX| Whilst everyone is having fun with the rest of the battle, Henry is still trying to not die against one of the raiders. With no shields, he hits the brakes, hoping that the raider thinks he's
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: dead in the water, and opens fire on him, before the Skyraider zips to dodge and open fire on the raider whilst they prematurely celebrate his death
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 72 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raider does indeed think Skyraider is disabled and fires, but stays alert still, managing to evade the counterattack and causing neither side to gain any significant advantage from the -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - exchange.
B'Atar@anncarise -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha takes advantage of the fighters having to pull up to evade the exploding cruiser and lets rip a scatter volley of disruptor cannon fire in their path.
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 63 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Hor'Cha manages to take out three of the fighters pursuing Lexi as they pull up! However, the raider that chose Hor'Cha as its target manage to get a few hits in as well, lowing Hor'cha's -
B'Atar@anncarise - shields to about 50%.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth tries to match its signature to that of the enemy raider as they face off to confuse the incoming fighters.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 30 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The fighters still manage to distinguish their targets. San'leth manages to drop the Breen raider's shields to 70%, but her own shields fall to 11%.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -ROUND FOUR-
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 74 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Six surviving fighters from the warcrime ball make a run for the Imperix's weakened fore shields to have their revenge.
B'Atar@anncarise | Carrier manages to turn its fore facing to Daramar to protect its weakened side. Fourth and final fighter squadron begins launching.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 71 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Raiders continue their pursuit on their respective ships, along with any supporting fighters. Daramar's small craft takes out 3 fighters on Egzo, leaving only 8 pursuing him.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Emergency battery power to the engines, stay on their starboard side! Broadside cannons and torpedo tubes, fire at exposed hull!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's engines receive a boost as it moves to position itself at enemy exposed flank, firing a starboard barrage!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *grips her chair, muttering* Must resist ramming, must resist ramming...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 96 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** that's how you motivate gunners, folks
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Hahaha))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (xD)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( oh frag it, RAMMING SPEEEEEED ))
B'Atar@anncarise | For once, the Daramar does well without ramming! Shots into the starboard side cripple systems and weapons, though unfortunately final squadron is a port-side one, which still manages to launch.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "chuch quvHa'... lItHa' Dub... will you slippery bastards get off... my... ass!" curses at the relentless pursuit before opening comms to Egzo
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Boss, I'm putting these guys right in your sights. I'll take yours if you take mine!"
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' leads it trail of fighters like the pied piper and charges head on at Hag'Ihr before a last minute sharp bank left to then open fire on Egzo's pursuers
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 98 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | <C> Read my mind. Let's swap.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 100 (1-100)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (what we in the industry call: boom)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** OMG
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (Wow)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (cries over crap rolls)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*finally makes use of half a millennium of experience and rolls a dice properly*)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** it's ok henry, your job is to survive, look at all the scrap here...
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (I'm... er... the distraction *nods*)
B'Atar@anncarise | Egzo's pursuers never saw it coming, thinking they can take out Hag'Ihr now that the carrier has softened up its shields. They fly directly into QanwI's sights, and the raider takes a massive -
B'Atar@anncarise - hit, losing shields. The Breen pilots however manage to pull away before they are completely destroyed, but this move only fools the fighters into thinking that it was a regular attack run and -
B'Atar@anncarise - simply their turn to attack. They charge forward, almost lining up to be taken out by Lexi!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( I figure that pair of rolls means that both our pursuers are completely wiped out. Yes? ))
B'Atar@anncarise | Egzo's bird of prey manages to take out the raider pursuing Lexi completely, and the explosion engulfs a pursuing fighter. The remaining two fighters are easy pickings for Egzo.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Egzo's pursuer is still intact, but pretty much just drifting without any systems now))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((But all the rest are completely exploded!))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Wooooo! HAHA, take some of that! We're gonna need bigger wings for the killcards at this rate boss!"
B'Atar@anncarise -SHEK'S TURN-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( So two big booms and one tumbling wreck. ))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Mhmm!))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((That was a very effective maneuver!))
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix aims her cannons at what is left of the Breen fleet, picking off any surivors.
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 48 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Imperix manages to pick off three of the fighters charging at it, but the remaining three, supported by covering fire from the carrier, manages to drop the weakened fore shields.
B'Atar@anncarise -HENRY'S TURN-
Egzo@HF_Mudd 's reply to Lexi is a laugh that's as ugly as the rest of him.
Lexi@crystyll would probably give him a bugs bunny OTT kiss at the ugly laugh just for high spirits of a glorious kill
Henry@drcrippler is wondering how this guy isn't bored yet.
B'Atar@anncarise | This Breen is a professional and has been ordered to take out Skyraider.
Henry@drcrippler FX| Running in front of the raider, he decides to open his cargo bay and drop all the salvage he's gathered at the Breen raider. Then does a full 180 turn, and fires on the Raider who has +
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: hopefully been distracted by all the shinyTM loot
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 4 (1-100)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (...)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Wow that roll))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Henry is nothing without his salvage!))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (bwahahahaha. SO henry)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*dumps salvage*)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (... I'm not losing my salvage like that! Rerolling!)
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 2 (1-100)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*accidentally dumps warp core with it)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (ahahahahahahahahahahahha)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Hahahahahaaha))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Fate does not want you to have that salvage)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** hugs henry **
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (...and all it's weapons payload)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (I JUST WANT TO MAKE A PROFIT FFS)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((You know what...I'm going to let you decide how this plays out))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Its like a critical success for 100))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((But you get a critical failure emote))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Make it the most Henry thing))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Don't destroy the ship though!))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (when i gave Sam that freedom on a fairly poor terrain walking roll he threw his char off a cliff and nearly killed him. And this is single digits...)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Oh true...nevermind let me take this...))
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (wait noooo)
Henry@drcrippler FX| The cargo bay begins to open as the Breen fires... straight into the cargo bay, destroying the entire deck and the salvage before it even has a chance to do anything.
Henry@drcrippler FX| The Skyraider still carries on the move, and promptly flips over the Breen raider in a ball of flames.
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: ((Cue the Cabbage man))
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: "Nooooooo my salvage!" Henry cries as the ship flips over, head over heels, at the mercy of any attacks
B'Atar@anncarise | The Breen raider actually sits there for a good few seconds, puzzled over just what Henry was hoping to achieve, before presumably receiving new orders and moving off.
B'Atar@anncarise -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: Kodon scowls in his chair as the fighter plinks away at the Hor'Cha's shields. "On my mark! Give me auxiliary power to structural integrity field! Helm, move us in to attack the carrier..."
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: "My salvage... and my ship... and now I have no salvage... and I'm getting dizzy..." a dull thump is heard over the comms
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((I love how Henry is the classic comic relief of the team))
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: "...then brake sharply and take us into a spin! Tactical, fire all disruptors!" Kodon waits patiently for the right moment then lifts his hand into the air and makes a fist, shouting "DaH!"
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((First the Gimli bit now this))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((I think that's what you intended with the character too!))
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: ((to be fair I intended for Henry to be a bit more... well... of a help, but I guess this is the curse of this character!)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** no problemo, we'll fix your ship and you get all the salvage you can from thsi place
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha moves to attack the carrier while being trailed by the raider, then quickly stops as it windmills, sending a shower of green disruptor bolts at the carrier. This gives the raider>
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (<3 I bring out the best in all your characters, who have to go above and beyond to save me ))
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: > 3 options. 1. Smash into the back of the BoP. 2. Dodge ahead and be caught in the crossfire. 3. Veer off.
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 94 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 83 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raider decides to veer off, allowing the Hor'Cha to unload its fire into the carrier, causing severe damage to the Breen ship.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 95 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 66 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise is stubborn and continues dancing amidst the fighters and raider. Her holograms flicker as San'leth's shields fail, but soon a fighter explodes, and then another, and then the raider itself goes -
B'Atar@anncarise - down. In the ensuing ball of fire, B'Atar's hologram cuts completely, though sensors still register the San'leth as intact.
B'Atar@anncarise | With only two raiders remaining at functional capacity, cloaking is once again possible!
B'Atar@anncarise | Egzo and Lexi's celebrations are cut short however as the raider pursuing Kodon veers off and joins the raider that was facing Skyraider and comes for QanwI and Hag'Ihr.
B'Atar@anncarise | Three fighters that made an attack run on Imperix goes to bug Kodon, while the newly launched squadron of 12 final fighters makes Imperix their new target.
B'Atar@anncarise | It seems the enemy carrier is being commanded by the Breen equivalent of Sadia as the heavily damaged ship tries to lock Daramar in place with tractor beams and charge in for a ram...
Kayd@anncarise -ROUND FIVE-
Kayd@anncarise -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Hey, that's not fair! I do the ramming here! Target their engineering section, auxiliary power to SIF, brace for impact!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar focuses all its firepower at the enemy's engineering section in hope of taking the ship out before it rams, while it boosts its SIF fields.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 73 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Support craft stays with Hag'lhr.
Kayd@anncarise | The carrier's engines are crippled, but inertia continues to carry the massive craft forwards on a direct collision course with Daramar...
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer: "Captain, we're reading two more warp signatures inbound!"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "SIF is as high as it can get! Expected damage from current impact vector is severe!"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 3: "Damn it I just put this ship back together!"
Henry@drcrippler has 0 sympahty for DO3
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "You'll put it together again! Prepare to engage tractor beam repulsor mode!"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "We don't have time! It's-"
Kayd@anncarise | On the Daramar's main viewscreen, the massive carrier slowly begins to slow down before coming to a dramatic grinding halt almost right in front of the Klingon flagship.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> What.
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "It's...being pulled back?"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 1: "Gravity well, forming on the aft of the carrier! The incoming warp signatures-"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "You see, some positive enforcement is all you ne- wait, that wasn't you?"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "I wish! But it would be dishonourable to claim credit for something that I didn't do!"
Kayd@anncarise FX | Suddenly, a barrage of disruptor fire and torpedoes impact the side of the carrier as it is pulled away from the Daramar...
Kayd@anncarise | The huge Breen vessel breaks into two, explosions propelling the aft half further away from the Daramar. A smaller vessel can be seen tractoring it further away before veering off, allowing the -
Kayd@anncarise - core to explode from a safe distance of the Daramar.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Well, let's finish this off! Also, someone check on San'leth and Skyraider!
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Looks like the cavalry just came riding over the hill..."
Kayd@anncarise | The source of the sudden firepower cruises into view, a familiar elegant shape...
Kayd@anncarise | As it passes by Daramar, markings on its hull in Orion script can clearly be seen, spelling out: SNV THANA VANERI
Kayd@anncarise FX | Fighters emerge from the High Orion vessel, coming to the aid of the Task Force to sweep up the Breen stragglers.
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: "No...body told... me Gandalf was coming..." comes Henry's voice
Kayd@anncarise -LEXI'S TURN-
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((Two more raiders remaining, along with 12 fighters on Imperix and 3 on Hor'Cha))
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Hah, good show there, Thana! But it still counts as one!"
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' recloaks and swings around it's raider, decloaking with focus torps & cannons on it's shield weakpoint aiming to shear off the wing as it drives vertically upwards at the raider
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 79 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI' manages to sheer off one of the Plesh Tral's three...extensions? The ship takes heavy damage, though is still operational.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -EGZO'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise | Kayd appears on holocomms, "Sorry we're late."
Kayd@anncarise | Kayd: "Finally got that virus out of our systems though."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Won't see me complaining, Tabadi."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Official orders are to head back once the Thana is here, but I thought I'd see this through since it was my idea to go after this Eye to begin with."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Well, we've got the Eye for you, once this is over."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Looks like right on time, t' me.
Henry@drcrippler doesn't mention that the Eye was in the cargo hold on the Skyraider
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Great. Let's clean up here then."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Wait a tick...
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 6 (1-100)
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((Did you blow up the Eye...))
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (reroll)
Henry@drcrippler is what he thinks, people don't follow his instructions, he was safely in the brig
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: ((no I'm kidding lol))
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 49 (1-100)
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((haha))
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((I know!))
Kayd@anncarise | Hag'Ihr lowers the shields of the raider pursuing him, and both raiders promptly begin to retreat.
Kayd@anncarise -SHEK'S TURN-
[Emotes] Kayd@anncarise: rolls 53 (1-100)
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix engages her point defenses, as well as her number of plasma turrets on the fighters swarming her
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 45 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Imperix's point defences take out five of the fighters swarming her. The Thana's fighters join the fray, mopping up the remainder.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> Hor'Cha doesn't stay still long. It's engines trail pulses bright as it quickly gets moving again, precision targeting the fighters with turret fire as it undertakes evasive maneuvers.
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 91 (1-100)
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: ((its))
Kayd@anncarise | Hor'Cha successfully takes out its pursuers without needing assistance from Thana's squadrons!
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -HENRY'S DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO SALVAGE THINGS-
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*grabs popcorn*)
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: (had to be done! haha)
Henry@drcrippler tries to make sure that his ship doesn't turn into salvage
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: ((Rolls a 1?))
Henry@drcrippler goes about trying to make sure that the warp core doesn't explode, and that the ship doesn't fall apart from that bad hit. Of course, he built this ship, he knows it inside out, what could go wrong?
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 74 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Skyraider fortunately doesn't turn into salvage!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( damage control: successful! ))
Kayd@anncarise -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj moves to assist San'leth.
[Emotes] Kayd@anncarise: rolls 56 (1-100)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: <C> Skyraider to... everyone else. We're stable, no need to divert resources to us, just go finish up the job."
star@anncarise | A few moments later, B'Atar reappears on holocomms, "Looks like our comm systems got a little fried in that knife-fight. It was one fun fight though!"
Kayd@anncarise | B'Atar: "San'leth is operational, though we probably won't be going much faster than warp five right now."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Glad to see everyone is still in one piece!"
Kayd@anncarise | Two last raiders begin to power up their warp drives.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((Feel free to pursue! No turns for hunting down fleeing stragglers!))
Lexi@crystyll would chase after her raider, determined not to let it get away with relentless cannonfire
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 87 (1-100)
Henry@drcrippler goes for the salvage. To fix his ship. And to replenish his stock.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Order support vessels to secure disabled Breen raider. Skyraider, San'leth we are moving in to render engineering teams and materials to help with repairs. Everyone else, chase off remianing enemies-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - and secure the battle site.
Egzo@HF_Mudd does like Lexi.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 82 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( very much so, even. ))
Kayd@anncarise | Lexi and Egzo finish off their respective raiders before they can warp off!
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj goes to secure the disabled raider, while San'leth goes to help allied ships with damage.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's support vessels move in on disabled breen raider and start beaming over assault teams, while Daramar itself moves closer to Skyraider and San'leth and beams over repair crews.
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <C> "Is anyone detecting any more incoming Breen ships?"
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: <C> Daramar, wanna beam up this prisoner your end? I'm gonna go to cloak and fix this thing. It'll be faster if I do it myself
Lexi@crystyll | Thana seems content to secure the wider area, establishing a defensive line with it's interceptors more coordinated than ever
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "If anyone else needs help with repairs, let me know. Captain Henry, as you wish. Also, aside the regular payment for your services, rights to salvage this battle site are yours, once we are done here."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: <C> Not seeing any Breen ships in the vicinity.
Kayd@anncarise <C - B'Atar> Me neither. Think we wiped out all the ones that can get here in time!
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <C> "Damn! We were just getting warmed up!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Prisoner is beamed over to Daramar's brig, and put under heavy watch, including at least one lethean.
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: <C> "Woo. Thanks," the response is kinda flat
Henry@drcrippler FX| After the Daramar take the prisoner the Skyraider cloaks
Lexi@crystyll meanwhile, looks to be shearing the top off a bottle of bloodwine for a long slurp before handing it off to someone on her bridge. Sounds like crew are singing victory songs again
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Also, you are aware that while you're working for us, repairs are free of charge on Starbase 151? Just sayin'."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Let's hope we have the Eye for good this time. We're seeing debris here matching the carrier that attacked us last time."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Was General V'Ku on board?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Yes, we took care of the ship. *mutters* Unfortunately no, he was using the Eye as the bait for an ambush."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Damn. Guess we'll be seeing more of him in the future..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves over to disabled breen raider and catches it in the tractor beam.
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Oh joy of joys..."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> "Lookin' forward to it."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Yeah, that's for sure. We still have some score to settle with that half-replimat."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Okay, we've got what we came for. Tabadi, do you want your prisoner now?"
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Anything you haven't tried with questioning from last time yet?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Once we are back to 151, I can secure additional escort if you want to bring them to your facilities in beta quadrant? *frowns* Not really, I guess we should try to make a deal with them."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "V'Ku will probably claim they have perished or something, this Eye is not in a good position to negotiate."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "That, he is not. An escort sounds good, don't want him to ambush us again if he's still out there."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "I'll call for some OSN or allied ships to Kayeri Vaj outside the Expanse for our trip back too."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Very well. All ships, ready to head back to 151? Well, aside from captain Hawkins who'll stay a bit I guess?"
Kayd@anncarise nods, "We're ready to go back when you are."
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "All set here!"
S'hekclazon@natthaan nods
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: "Hor'Cha is ready!"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hag'lhr, ready.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "In that case, take a heading outta this debris, set course for 151, and engage when ready."
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj forms up with Thana again, and the two OSN ships go to warp together.
Kayd@anncarise | San'leth also jumps to warp a few moments later.
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' follows the pack
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | Hag'lhr flashes to warp, leaving Skyraider to pick over the remains.
Henry@drcrippler is doing exactly that
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> Hor'Cha jumps to warp, joining the briefly glowing warp trails of the other ships.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -END SCENE-
B'Atar@anncarise | They located V'Ku's carrier trying to conduct repairs from salvage in a debris field from a Breen warzone and boarded the vessel.
B'Atar@anncarise | After bearing witness to the atrocities of the rogue House, the Eye was recaptured and the carrier scuttled. However, V'Ku had notified the Breen of the KDF's activities in the area, and the -
B'Atar@anncarise: - long-time foes of the Task Force have arrived in force to deal with them...
B'Atar@anncarise | AND NOW THE CONTINUATION...
B'Atar@anncarise appears on holo on the Daramar bridge, still clad in her battle armour.
Sadia@gulremal: "I want full scan of the Breen forces! Send an call for assistance back to wejpuH tul! Launch all combat-capable shuttles and support craft!"
B'Atar@anncarise | On the viewscreen, multiple Breen ships have begun warping in: a Chel Grett Cruiser and four older Plesh Brek raiders.
Henry@drcrippler is beamed aboard his ship if he isn't already and immeditely cloaks
B'Atar@anncarise | Daramar Officer: "There's more inbound! A carrier, and a raider squadron coming in to flank us! Looks like those newer models too!"
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar starts launching support vessels, while it performs full scan of the incoming enemy forces.
S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix engages her tactical mode
Sadia@gulremal: *Sadia pokes at her chair console and all ships are sent targeting data of the first enemy group - Chel Grett and older Plesh Brek raiders*
Sadia@gulremal: "Tactical! Focus fire on the enemy cruiser, let rest of the squadron deal with the raiders!"
Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar turns slightly to face the patrol squadron and fires all frontal weapons - beams, cannons and torpedoes, at the lead Chel Grett cruiser.
Sadia@gulremal: rolls 43 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The cruiser seems well aware that it's not a match for Daramar, and goes into evasive maneuvers as it lays down covering fire on the larger KDF ship. Daramar's hits lower its shields, but it's -
B'Atar@anncarise: - diverting much power to them to withstand the attack and though they drop to low levels, doesn't fully fail.
B'Atar@anncarise | Fortunately, low power means their return fire does practically nothing to Daramar's shields.
B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll FX | Under cloak, QanwI' swings around to flank the first wave of raiders, decloaking mid barrel roll with wing cannons lighting up as it sweeps across the pack
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 38 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raiders scramble as the QanwI' appears. The cannon shots lower both their shields to 50% before they have a chance to get clear, however.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SHEK'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' would attempt to recloak as its pass finishes, if free from return fire and able
B'Atar@anncarise | QanwI manages to recloak successfully.
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix brings her main cannons to bare, opening fire with all her forward weapons upon the other pair of Breen raiders
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 40 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Once again, the raiders react quickly, though they take a few hits to their shields in the process.
B'Atar@anncarise -EGZO'S TURN-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | Hag'lhr attempts to take advantage of QanwI's maneuver, angling in on one of the Breen raiders that they scattered before decloaking and opening fire.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 83 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Hag'Ihr manages to take out a raider!
B'Atar@anncarise -HENRY'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Good shot, Egzo! Keep on their tails, don't give em space to flank us!"
Henry@drcrippler darts around the battlefield. As soon as the other ships begin to open fire, the Skyraider targets one scattering ship, decloaks, and brings all her guns to bear, recloaking as soon as the last shot is off and darting away again.
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 33 (1-100)
S'hekclazon@natthaan silently thinks how ironic it is that he's the only one not cloaking.
B'Atar@anncarise | The scattering ships have become more alert after Egzo destroyed one. It dodges and weaves across the battlefield, making it difficult to obtain a target lock. A few of Henry's shots manage to -
B'Atar@anncarise - land and further weaken its shields, but it escapes the sneak attack very much intact.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha charges at the cruiser! ...but wait! It's a feint! The aged Bird of Prey cloaks and changes direction, decloaking on the tail of one of the scrambling raiders and opening fire!
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 83 (1-100)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (nice)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( Kodon used FEINT! It's super effective! ))
B'Atar@anncarise | Kodon's move tricks one of the raiders into not paying as much attention to Hor'Cha as it should, and it becomes the raider's undoing as it explodes into a fiery ball as Hor'Cha reappears!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
B'Atar@anncarise decloaks on the position of the raider Egzo destroyed, using her classic trick of pretending to be a Breen raider to lull the other scrambling raider on that side into a false sense of security -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - before firing.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 98 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Everyone on board that raider dies thinking they were killed by friendly fire.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -ROUND TWO-
B'Atar@anncarise | Five new Plesh Tral raiders warp in behind the group. A quick scan of the ships would reveal that they are definitely superior to the older models they have been fighting so far.
B'Atar@anncarise | A large Breen carrier joins the thick of the battle beside the cruiser. It does not fire immediately, lending some shield strength to the cruiser while scrambling its fighters.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 97 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raiders do not immdiately charge into the fray either. They spread out and take positions before firing well-coordinated tachyon sweeps, forming a complete detection grid...
B'Atar@anncarise | All cloaked ships are now revealed, and cloaking is no longer possible as long as more than 3 Breen raiders remain intact!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "*chuckles* This will be one hell of a fight! Everyone focus on those raiders! Daramar will deal with heavies!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Tactical! I want that cruiser out of the combat ASAP! Fire the autocannon, tight spread, maximum strength!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar stays on his target, it's coaxial autocannon fires up and shoots a concentrated stream of heavy disruptor bolts at the cruiser while it's torpedo launchers reload. The support craft -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - forms around the big ship, ready to provide PD fire.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 97 (1-100)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Wow the dice are on a roll))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((3 continuous high 90s)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (um... i did not just plant a mortar on Daramar's bridge. nothing to see, move along!)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (Move along, move along...)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *pats the mortar "imma call it Morty"*
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (xD)
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: (Dontcha know that's the only way to give orders on this ship? you need to fire it at the crew via T-shirt gun))
B'Atar@anncarise FX | Daramar's shots drop the cruiser's newly replenished shields and damage its engine systems, preventing it from executing any fancy maneuvers or warping away.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Imperix, take it out!"
B'Atar@anncarise | Despite this though, the cruiser seems to have bolstered confidence from the arrival of other ships and goes for Imperix, weapons blazing.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
Lexi@crystyll FX | QanwI' turns sharp after being forced out of cloak and guns straight for the raiders supporting the net, hitting them with cannons and a torp spread
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 53 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The initial dispersal makes it difficult for Lexi to hit multiple raiders, and she manages to only dent the shields of one raider significantly while grazing the other. The new ones disperse -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - significantly faster than the older models.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( pls confirm - 1 old raider and 5 new models? ))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SHEK'S TURN-
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Yup!))
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix fires off a warcrime ball of plasma at the crusier as ordered by Sadia.
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 43 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 96 (1-100)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (Oh dear)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( ... I think that means you just got it blown up in your face. :/ ))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (ruh-roh...)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: | One of the newly scrambled fighters from the carrier attempts to intercept the warcrime ball of plasma, but the shots miss the projectile. However, the stubborn Breen decides to play hero...
B'Atar@anncarise | The fighter's thrusters fire up to full as it dives straight for the projectile. Streaking across the battlefield, the craft places itself directly in the path of the torpedo.
B'Atar@anncarise | The impact incinerates both the brave pilot and his craft immediately, but due to proximity with the Imperix, the shockwave also brings the Romulan ship's fore shields to low levels...
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((The Breen have their heroes too!))
B'Atar@anncarise -EGZO'S TURN-
S'hekclazon@natthaan starts barking off orders to his crew to reroute shield power.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "*mutters in respect to enemy action* That's sam guts there! Imperix, take cover behind us, someone, I need that cruiser down!"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | <FX> Hag'lhr goes after the sole remaining Plesh Brek, chasing it down and trying to finish the older raider.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 92 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The Breen raider is emboldened by the arrival of allies... too emboldened as it fails to defend against Egzo and the Nausicaan pirate claims yet another kill!
B'Atar@anncarise -HENRY'S TURN-
Henry@drcrippler curses as his cloak is gone.
Henry@drcrippler FX| The Skyraider uses some of its quick movements to circle one of the raiders, and fire off a barrage at it from multiple angles
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 25 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 57 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The Plesh Tral proves to be the quicker craft. The two exchange fire, but Henry barely makes a dent on the Breen vessel, while the Breen manage to get a heavy hit on the Skyraider's shields.
B'Atar@anncarise -KODON'S TURN-
Henry@drcrippler FX| The Skyraider's shields flicker off completely with a small puff trailing the Skyraider as she flies
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha flies through the vapor caused by the explosion of the Breen raider it fired on. The Hor'Cha goes to DO A BARREL ROLL, the corkscrew path of it's flight aiding in evading fire >
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: > from the newly arrived raiders while obfuscating Kodon's actual choice of target... the Cruiser they were originally charging towards. At the end of the roll the Hor'Cha lets loose a barrage of >
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: > torpedoes at the unshielded ship!
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 54 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The fighter squadrons and point defence cannons fend off most of the torpedoes, but one gets through and inflicts massive damage on the unshielded cruiser, scorching its right side, -
B'Atar@anncarise - causing several of the extensions on that portion of the ship to break off. The Breen ship has now lost half its weapons and power levels.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth has not cloaked since the last attack, trying to continue its facade as one of the Breen raiders to engage one of the newly arrived Plesh Trals.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 58 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth does manage to get an opening hit in, but the new Plesh Tral still has full shields and engine power and reacts quickly, and soon the two raiders are in a dance trying to shoot one -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - another at close range (for starships).
B'Atar@anncarise -ROUND THREE-
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 29 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The carrier finally opens fire on Daramar, but doesn't do much damage to its shields. Much like the V'Ku carrier, it's shots are more just a nuisance.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 89 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raiders, however, are a different story. Each Plesh Tral picks one of the smaller Klingon ships and goes for them. Identifying Egzo as the greatest threat, the first squadron of fighters -
B'Atar@anncarise - which is one short (11 total) breaks off to support the raider chasing Hag'Ihr, while the second squadron breaks up into 6 on San'leth and 6 on QanwI', both also iedntified as high priority -
B'Atar@anncarise - targets from prior engagements with the Breen.
B'Atar@anncarise -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves to side, putting the cruiser between themselves and the carrier. It's deflectors generate strong tractor beam repulsors, trying to push the cruiser right into the carrier.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Meanwhile, all support vessels move to intercept/engage the squadron that's going after Egzo.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** technically you can use those support vessels as bonus to egzo's rolls, defense
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 3 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *+ re-rollin that
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Was just about to ask! hehe))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((*accidentally tractor pulls and rams the cruiser into Daramar*))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Daramar BOFF: "C'mon again?!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** shouts from burning bridge "That was completely intentional!!!"
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 59 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( THERE we go. ))
B'Atar@anncarise | The push begins to work, but the cruiser realizes what it's trying to do. It burns what remains of its engine power, trying to counteract the repulsors for as long as it can while its core -
B'Atar@anncarise - suddenly begins to go critical...
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Holding off the explosion for now!))
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' swings around tantalizing it's trailing fighters with the rear turret while veering straight for the dying cruiser. She unleases torp volleys to finish it and hopes to swamp the trailing +
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: + pursuers in the explosions as it plunges through
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 82 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | QanwI' succeeds! The cruiser is finished off before it can self-destruct, and explodes in a fiery ball behind the QanwI'...
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 94 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Unfortunately, the Breen pilots are good. They pull away in time to escape the explosion, though thanks to Daramar's pushing of the cruiser towards the carrier, the explosion does weaken the -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - carrier's starboard shields, dropping it to 30%.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -EGZO'S TURN-
Egzo@HF_Mudd dives for the carrier, strafing its hull while weaving back and forth to avoid fire from his pursuers (hoping some will strike their base ship).
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 20 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( ah well. keeping the roll, rather than tempt disaster. ))
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: (( >.>))
B'Atar@anncarise | The pursuers break off as Hag'Ihr dives for the carrier, allowing the two to exchange shots. The Bird of Prey gets some minor hits in on the carrier, but the carrier's point defence lowers -
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( Also, the manuever I was *going* to pull was diving BETWEEN the cruiser and carrier, daring them to follow into the rapidly closing gap. ))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (then some inconsiderate lout went and blewed up that cruiser *tuts*)
B'Atar@anncarise - Hag'Ihr's shields to 50%. As the ship clears the carrier though, Egzo finds that the raiders have gone around their base ship and continue their chase on the other side...
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | <FX> Hag'lhr pulls away from the carrier, diverting power from weapons to try to firm up the aft shields as the pursuit continues.
B'Atar@anncarise -SHEK'S TURN-
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix again fires off a warcrime ball, this time aimed for the carrier's new weak spots.
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 95 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( that's gonna hurt. ))
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 68 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | This warcrime ball successfully hits its target! The carrier's starboard shields drop and the third wing launching from that side is halved in numbers by the attack!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -HENRY'S TURN-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( Fireworks. Fighters, launching, flaring, dying in the starry black. ))
Henry@drcrippler FX| Whilst everyone is having fun with the rest of the battle, Henry is still trying to not die against one of the raiders. With no shields, he hits the brakes, hoping that the raider thinks he's
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: dead in the water, and opens fire on him, before the Skyraider zips to dodge and open fire on the raider whilst they prematurely celebrate his death
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 72 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raider does indeed think Skyraider is disabled and fires, but stays alert still, managing to evade the counterattack and causing neither side to gain any significant advantage from the -
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: - exchange.
B'Atar@anncarise -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha takes advantage of the fighters having to pull up to evade the exploding cruiser and lets rip a scatter volley of disruptor cannon fire in their path.
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 63 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Hor'Cha manages to take out three of the fighters pursuing Lexi as they pull up! However, the raider that chose Hor'Cha as its target manage to get a few hits in as well, lowing Hor'cha's -
B'Atar@anncarise - shields to about 50%.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth tries to match its signature to that of the enemy raider as they face off to confuse the incoming fighters.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 30 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The fighters still manage to distinguish their targets. San'leth manages to drop the Breen raider's shields to 70%, but her own shields fall to 11%.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -ROUND FOUR-
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 74 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Six surviving fighters from the warcrime ball make a run for the Imperix's weakened fore shields to have their revenge.
B'Atar@anncarise | Carrier manages to turn its fore facing to Daramar to protect its weakened side. Fourth and final fighter squadron begins launching.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 71 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Raiders continue their pursuit on their respective ships, along with any supporting fighters. Daramar's small craft takes out 3 fighters on Egzo, leaving only 8 pursuing him.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Emergency battery power to the engines, stay on their starboard side! Broadside cannons and torpedo tubes, fire at exposed hull!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's engines receive a boost as it moves to position itself at enemy exposed flank, firing a starboard barrage!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *grips her chair, muttering* Must resist ramming, must resist ramming...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 96 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** that's how you motivate gunners, folks
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Hahaha))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (xD)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( oh frag it, RAMMING SPEEEEEED ))
B'Atar@anncarise | For once, the Daramar does well without ramming! Shots into the starboard side cripple systems and weapons, though unfortunately final squadron is a port-side one, which still manages to launch.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -LEXI'S TURN-
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "chuch quvHa'... lItHa' Dub... will you slippery bastards get off... my... ass!" curses at the relentless pursuit before opening comms to Egzo
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Boss, I'm putting these guys right in your sights. I'll take yours if you take mine!"
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' leads it trail of fighters like the pied piper and charges head on at Hag'Ihr before a last minute sharp bank left to then open fire on Egzo's pursuers
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 98 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | <C> Read my mind. Let's swap.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 100 (1-100)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (what we in the industry call: boom)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** OMG
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: (Wow)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (cries over crap rolls)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*finally makes use of half a millennium of experience and rolls a dice properly*)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** it's ok henry, your job is to survive, look at all the scrap here...
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (I'm... er... the distraction *nods*)
B'Atar@anncarise | Egzo's pursuers never saw it coming, thinking they can take out Hag'Ihr now that the carrier has softened up its shields. They fly directly into QanwI's sights, and the raider takes a massive -
B'Atar@anncarise - hit, losing shields. The Breen pilots however manage to pull away before they are completely destroyed, but this move only fools the fighters into thinking that it was a regular attack run and -
B'Atar@anncarise - simply their turn to attack. They charge forward, almost lining up to be taken out by Lexi!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( I figure that pair of rolls means that both our pursuers are completely wiped out. Yes? ))
B'Atar@anncarise | Egzo's bird of prey manages to take out the raider pursuing Lexi completely, and the explosion engulfs a pursuing fighter. The remaining two fighters are easy pickings for Egzo.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Egzo's pursuer is still intact, but pretty much just drifting without any systems now))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((But all the rest are completely exploded!))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Wooooo! HAHA, take some of that! We're gonna need bigger wings for the killcards at this rate boss!"
B'Atar@anncarise -SHEK'S TURN-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( So two big booms and one tumbling wreck. ))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Mhmm!))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((That was a very effective maneuver!))
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix aims her cannons at what is left of the Breen fleet, picking off any surivors.
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 48 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | Imperix manages to pick off three of the fighters charging at it, but the remaining three, supported by covering fire from the carrier, manages to drop the weakened fore shields.
B'Atar@anncarise -HENRY'S TURN-
Egzo@HF_Mudd 's reply to Lexi is a laugh that's as ugly as the rest of him.
Lexi@crystyll would probably give him a bugs bunny OTT kiss at the ugly laugh just for high spirits of a glorious kill
Henry@drcrippler is wondering how this guy isn't bored yet.
B'Atar@anncarise | This Breen is a professional and has been ordered to take out Skyraider.
Henry@drcrippler FX| Running in front of the raider, he decides to open his cargo bay and drop all the salvage he's gathered at the Breen raider. Then does a full 180 turn, and fires on the Raider who has +
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: hopefully been distracted by all the shinyTM loot
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 4 (1-100)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (...)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Wow that roll))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Henry is nothing without his salvage!))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (bwahahahaha. SO henry)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*dumps salvage*)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (... I'm not losing my salvage like that! Rerolling!)
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 2 (1-100)
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*accidentally dumps warp core with it)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (ahahahahahahahahahahahha)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Hahahahahaaha))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Fate does not want you to have that salvage)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** hugs henry **
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (...and all it's weapons payload)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (I JUST WANT TO MAKE A PROFIT FFS)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((You know what...I'm going to let you decide how this plays out))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Its like a critical success for 100))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((But you get a critical failure emote))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Make it the most Henry thing))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Don't destroy the ship though!))
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (when i gave Sam that freedom on a fairly poor terrain walking roll he threw his char off a cliff and nearly killed him. And this is single digits...)
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((Oh true...nevermind let me take this...))
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (wait noooo)
Henry@drcrippler FX| The cargo bay begins to open as the Breen fires... straight into the cargo bay, destroying the entire deck and the salvage before it even has a chance to do anything.
Henry@drcrippler FX| The Skyraider still carries on the move, and promptly flips over the Breen raider in a ball of flames.
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: ((Cue the Cabbage man))
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: "Nooooooo my salvage!" Henry cries as the ship flips over, head over heels, at the mercy of any attacks
B'Atar@anncarise | The Breen raider actually sits there for a good few seconds, puzzled over just what Henry was hoping to achieve, before presumably receiving new orders and moving off.
B'Atar@anncarise -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: Kodon scowls in his chair as the fighter plinks away at the Hor'Cha's shields. "On my mark! Give me auxiliary power to structural integrity field! Helm, move us in to attack the carrier..."
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: "My salvage... and my ship... and now I have no salvage... and I'm getting dizzy..." a dull thump is heard over the comms
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((I love how Henry is the classic comic relief of the team))
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: "...then brake sharply and take us into a spin! Tactical, fire all disruptors!" Kodon waits patiently for the right moment then lifts his hand into the air and makes a fist, shouting "DaH!"
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((First the Gimli bit now this))
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: ((I think that's what you intended with the character too!))
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: ((to be fair I intended for Henry to be a bit more... well... of a help, but I guess this is the curse of this character!)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: ** no problemo, we'll fix your ship and you get all the salvage you can from thsi place
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> The Hor'Cha moves to attack the carrier while being trailed by the raider, then quickly stops as it windmills, sending a shower of green disruptor bolts at the carrier. This gives the raider>
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: (<3 I bring out the best in all your characters, who have to go above and beyond to save me ))
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: > 3 options. 1. Smash into the back of the BoP. 2. Dodge ahead and be caught in the crossfire. 3. Veer off.
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 94 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 83 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise | The raider decides to veer off, allowing the Hor'Cha to unload its fire into the carrier, causing severe damage to the Breen ship.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: -B'ATAR'S TURN-
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 95 (1-100)
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 66 (1-100)
B'Atar@anncarise is stubborn and continues dancing amidst the fighters and raider. Her holograms flicker as San'leth's shields fail, but soon a fighter explodes, and then another, and then the raider itself goes -
B'Atar@anncarise - down. In the ensuing ball of fire, B'Atar's hologram cuts completely, though sensors still register the San'leth as intact.
B'Atar@anncarise | With only two raiders remaining at functional capacity, cloaking is once again possible!
B'Atar@anncarise | Egzo and Lexi's celebrations are cut short however as the raider pursuing Kodon veers off and joins the raider that was facing Skyraider and comes for QanwI and Hag'Ihr.
B'Atar@anncarise | Three fighters that made an attack run on Imperix goes to bug Kodon, while the newly launched squadron of 12 final fighters makes Imperix their new target.
B'Atar@anncarise | It seems the enemy carrier is being commanded by the Breen equivalent of Sadia as the heavily damaged ship tries to lock Daramar in place with tractor beams and charge in for a ram...
Kayd@anncarise -ROUND FIVE-
Kayd@anncarise -SADIA'S TURN-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Hey, that's not fair! I do the ramming here! Target their engineering section, auxiliary power to SIF, brace for impact!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar focuses all its firepower at the enemy's engineering section in hope of taking the ship out before it rams, while it boosts its SIF fields.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 73 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Support craft stays with Hag'lhr.
Kayd@anncarise | The carrier's engines are crippled, but inertia continues to carry the massive craft forwards on a direct collision course with Daramar...
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer: "Captain, we're reading two more warp signatures inbound!"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "SIF is as high as it can get! Expected damage from current impact vector is severe!"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 3: "Damn it I just put this ship back together!"
Henry@drcrippler has 0 sympahty for DO3
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "You'll put it together again! Prepare to engage tractor beam repulsor mode!"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "We don't have time! It's-"
Kayd@anncarise | On the Daramar's main viewscreen, the massive carrier slowly begins to slow down before coming to a dramatic grinding halt almost right in front of the Klingon flagship.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> What.
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "It's...being pulled back?"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 1: "Gravity well, forming on the aft of the carrier! The incoming warp signatures-"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "You see, some positive enforcement is all you ne- wait, that wasn't you?"
Kayd@anncarise | Daramar Officer 2: "I wish! But it would be dishonourable to claim credit for something that I didn't do!"
Kayd@anncarise FX | Suddenly, a barrage of disruptor fire and torpedoes impact the side of the carrier as it is pulled away from the Daramar...
Kayd@anncarise | The huge Breen vessel breaks into two, explosions propelling the aft half further away from the Daramar. A smaller vessel can be seen tractoring it further away before veering off, allowing the -
Kayd@anncarise - core to explode from a safe distance of the Daramar.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Well, let's finish this off! Also, someone check on San'leth and Skyraider!
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Looks like the cavalry just came riding over the hill..."
Kayd@anncarise | The source of the sudden firepower cruises into view, a familiar elegant shape...
Kayd@anncarise | As it passes by Daramar, markings on its hull in Orion script can clearly be seen, spelling out: SNV THANA VANERI
Kayd@anncarise FX | Fighters emerge from the High Orion vessel, coming to the aid of the Task Force to sweep up the Breen stragglers.
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: "No...body told... me Gandalf was coming..." comes Henry's voice
Kayd@anncarise -LEXI'S TURN-
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((Two more raiders remaining, along with 12 fighters on Imperix and 3 on Hor'Cha))
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Hah, good show there, Thana! But it still counts as one!"
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' recloaks and swings around it's raider, decloaking with focus torps & cannons on it's shield weakpoint aiming to shear off the wing as it drives vertically upwards at the raider
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 79 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | QanwI' manages to sheer off one of the Plesh Tral's three...extensions? The ship takes heavy damage, though is still operational.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -EGZO'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise | Kayd appears on holocomms, "Sorry we're late."
Kayd@anncarise | Kayd: "Finally got that virus out of our systems though."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Won't see me complaining, Tabadi."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Official orders are to head back once the Thana is here, but I thought I'd see this through since it was my idea to go after this Eye to begin with."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Well, we've got the Eye for you, once this is over."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Looks like right on time, t' me.
Henry@drcrippler doesn't mention that the Eye was in the cargo hold on the Skyraider
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Great. Let's clean up here then."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Wait a tick...
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 6 (1-100)
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((Did you blow up the Eye...))
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (reroll)
Henry@drcrippler is what he thinks, people don't follow his instructions, he was safely in the brig
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: ((no I'm kidding lol))
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 49 (1-100)
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((haha))
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((I know!))
Kayd@anncarise | Hag'Ihr lowers the shields of the raider pursuing him, and both raiders promptly begin to retreat.
Kayd@anncarise -SHEK'S TURN-
[Emotes] Kayd@anncarise: rolls 53 (1-100)
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: <FX> The Imperix engages her point defenses, as well as her number of plasma turrets on the fighters swarming her
[Emotes] S'hekclazon@natthaan: rolls 45 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Imperix's point defences take out five of the fighters swarming her. The Thana's fighters join the fray, mopping up the remainder.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -KODON'S TURN-
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> Hor'Cha doesn't stay still long. It's engines trail pulses bright as it quickly gets moving again, precision targeting the fighters with turret fire as it undertakes evasive maneuvers.
[Emotes] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: rolls 91 (1-100)
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: ((its))
Kayd@anncarise | Hor'Cha successfully takes out its pursuers without needing assistance from Thana's squadrons!
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -HENRY'S DESPERATE ATTEMPT TO SALVAGE THINGS-
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: (*grabs popcorn*)
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: (had to be done! haha)
Henry@drcrippler tries to make sure that his ship doesn't turn into salvage
[Local] S'hekclazon@natthaan: ((Rolls a 1?))
Henry@drcrippler goes about trying to make sure that the warp core doesn't explode, and that the ship doesn't fall apart from that bad hit. Of course, he built this ship, he knows it inside out, what could go wrong?
[Emotes] Henry@drcrippler: rolls 74 (1-100)
Kayd@anncarise | Skyraider fortunately doesn't turn into salvage!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( damage control: successful! ))
Kayd@anncarise -KAYD'S TURN-
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj moves to assist San'leth.
[Emotes] Kayd@anncarise: rolls 56 (1-100)
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: <C> Skyraider to... everyone else. We're stable, no need to divert resources to us, just go finish up the job."
star@anncarise | A few moments later, B'Atar reappears on holocomms, "Looks like our comm systems got a little fried in that knife-fight. It was one fun fight though!"
Kayd@anncarise | B'Atar: "San'leth is operational, though we probably won't be going much faster than warp five right now."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Glad to see everyone is still in one piece!"
Kayd@anncarise | Two last raiders begin to power up their warp drives.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: ((Feel free to pursue! No turns for hunting down fleeing stragglers!))
Lexi@crystyll would chase after her raider, determined not to let it get away with relentless cannonfire
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 87 (1-100)
Henry@drcrippler goes for the salvage. To fix his ship. And to replenish his stock.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Order support vessels to secure disabled Breen raider. Skyraider, San'leth we are moving in to render engineering teams and materials to help with repairs. Everyone else, chase off remianing enemies-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - and secure the battle site.
Egzo@HF_Mudd does like Lexi.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 82 (1-100)
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (( very much so, even. ))
Kayd@anncarise | Lexi and Egzo finish off their respective raiders before they can warp off!
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj goes to secure the disabled raider, while San'leth goes to help allied ships with damage.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's support vessels move in on disabled breen raider and start beaming over assault teams, while Daramar itself moves closer to Skyraider and San'leth and beams over repair crews.
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <C> "Is anyone detecting any more incoming Breen ships?"
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: <C> Daramar, wanna beam up this prisoner your end? I'm gonna go to cloak and fix this thing. It'll be faster if I do it myself
Lexi@crystyll | Thana seems content to secure the wider area, establishing a defensive line with it's interceptors more coordinated than ever
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "If anyone else needs help with repairs, let me know. Captain Henry, as you wish. Also, aside the regular payment for your services, rights to salvage this battle site are yours, once we are done here."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: <C> Not seeing any Breen ships in the vicinity.
Kayd@anncarise <C - B'Atar> Me neither. Think we wiped out all the ones that can get here in time!
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <C> "Damn! We were just getting warmed up!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Prisoner is beamed over to Daramar's brig, and put under heavy watch, including at least one lethean.
[Local] Henry@drcrippler: <C> "Woo. Thanks," the response is kinda flat
Henry@drcrippler FX| After the Daramar take the prisoner the Skyraider cloaks
Lexi@crystyll meanwhile, looks to be shearing the top off a bottle of bloodwine for a long slurp before handing it off to someone on her bridge. Sounds like crew are singing victory songs again
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Also, you are aware that while you're working for us, repairs are free of charge on Starbase 151? Just sayin'."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Let's hope we have the Eye for good this time. We're seeing debris here matching the carrier that attacked us last time."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Was General V'Ku on board?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Yes, we took care of the ship. *mutters* Unfortunately no, he was using the Eye as the bait for an ambush."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Damn. Guess we'll be seeing more of him in the future..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves over to disabled breen raider and catches it in the tractor beam.
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Oh joy of joys..."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> "Lookin' forward to it."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Yeah, that's for sure. We still have some score to settle with that half-replimat."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Okay, we've got what we came for. Tabadi, do you want your prisoner now?"
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "Anything you haven't tried with questioning from last time yet?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Once we are back to 151, I can secure additional escort if you want to bring them to your facilities in beta quadrant? *frowns* Not really, I guess we should try to make a deal with them."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "V'Ku will probably claim they have perished or something, this Eye is not in a good position to negotiate."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "That, he is not. An escort sounds good, don't want him to ambush us again if he's still out there."
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: "I'll call for some OSN or allied ships to Kayeri Vaj outside the Expanse for our trip back too."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Very well. All ships, ready to head back to 151? Well, aside from captain Hawkins who'll stay a bit I guess?"
Kayd@anncarise nods, "We're ready to go back when you are."
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "All set here!"
S'hekclazon@natthaan nods
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: "Hor'Cha is ready!"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hag'lhr, ready.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "In that case, take a heading outta this debris, set course for 151, and engage when ready."
Kayd@anncarise | Kayeri Vaj forms up with Thana again, and the two OSN ships go to warp together.
Kayd@anncarise | San'leth also jumps to warp a few moments later.
Lexi@crystyll | QanwI' follows the pack
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: | Hag'lhr flashes to warp, leaving Skyraider to pick over the remains.
Henry@drcrippler is doing exactly that
[Local] Kodon@Nitroglycerin: <FX> Hor'Cha jumps to warp, joining the briefly glowing warp trails of the other ships.
[Local] Kayd@anncarise: -END SCENE-
