Spoiler: Mission LogShow
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Three days after saving Natima Lang from Hirogen, KDF squadron is lurking in the outskirts of the local "badlands" region, a zone of almost constant ion storms and other troublesome space -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - phenomena. Just inside the badlands is the system where a hidden NCR listening post is located, and team is waiting the return of IKS Kor'goth, parasite craft of IKS Daramar and currently captained-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - by Sadia. She's filling in for damaged IKS Barut, who returned to SB 151 with Natima for full debriefing.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: can you guys run this mission, will try to share it now
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I got it!
[Team] Lexi@crystyll: got it!
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: I don't see it...?
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: it's the 1st mission in the redone cardie arc
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Spoils of War
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: mgiht have to grab the first intro bit if you haven't done that yet
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Okay, got.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Awesome!
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: we will use it as visual presentation and enemy resistance, but let's not rush when we start it mkay?
[Team] Lexi@crystyll: gotcha
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Got it!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> After a while, sensor show a bird of prey decloaking at some distance away, and holo-link is established...
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I'll try not to kill everything in 3 seconds
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: hehe
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Cynis here, do you copy?
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hey, Boss.
[Team] Lexi@crystyll: qanwi' isn't geared well at all, i won't be able to kill anything in 3secs haha!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> I hear you, captain.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: I'm thinking of switching to single target build just for such occasions, might keep battles longer
Lexi@crystyll waves
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Technically the ship I fly OOC isn't the San'leth, it's a random EereE patrol bird
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: But it's a BoP and the closest I can get!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> I must say, I didn't do some decent snopping around in ages. It got dicey on couple of occasions, but no signs we were detected.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Can't afford a Kelvin BoP and haven't gotten lucky enough with phoenix boxes to get a Breen raider!
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: so it stands in for San'leth for now hehe
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Will just not activate my AoE abilities so I don't kill things too fast haha
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> What'dja find?
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Main base for the listening post is located on one of the moons in the orbit of the only gas giant in the system. They even had a fake signal on the surface of the second moon, and there's -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - multiple scattered signatures around, most likely hidden defense/ambush turrets.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Main base if defended by half a dozen heavy disruptor turrets, one upgraded galor and half a dozen upgraded hidekis.
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Sounds fun"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Oh yeah, lots of.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> No sign of hirogen, but can't really exclude possibility of them hiding close by.
B'Atar@anncarise grins, "Hidekis, small and fast, just how I like my ship fights!"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Yeah, we haven't picked up any traffic. Either they're out there, and cloaked, or they're keepin' this place isolated and quiet. 'Swhat I'd do, if I didn't wanna draw attention.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> I couldn't get scans of the base, we'll have to deal with defenses first if we want to raid that place.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> We picked up a little scatter from their scans; looks like they've got all eyes on Ventraxian space.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Ears, too, I'll bet.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Yeah, that's why I rushed here - Daramar is already in their space with some heavies, providing protection to Ventraxian convoys. It would seem Hirogen have started their raids, as Natima -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - predicted.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Also sent our reserves to watch the cardassian colonies under our control, but so far NCR is not targeting them.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> They won't, not yet. Not openly.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> They'll sit back and watch a bit longer, and then make their move.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> They are most likely seeing how far we can extend ourselves and strike at weak locations.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Anyway, how do you guys think we should go about this?
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Sounds like a Cardassian strategy to me. Well we're here, I say let's try and hit the place.
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods. <C> Wouldn't mind gettin' a copy of all the data they been pullin' in.
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Quick and quiet I say. If you're right and this place is minimally defended, you can bet reinforcements aren't far away
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Yeah, classic raid with smaller ships. Go in, grab what we want, deal some damage and disappear.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Yeah, we should see about blocking any calls for help. Ideas?
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Space round here is plenty noisy as-is. Anyone got the know-how to kick off an ion storm?
B'Atar@anncarise looks to Lexi to see if any of her previous Fed hosts might know sciency stuff.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Lexi. egzo, gimme rolls
Lexi@crystyll nods begrudgingly, "Not something I ever did before. But Kialee... she had the know how yeah. Could give it a go I guess..."
[Emotes] Lexi@crystyll: rolls 94 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: deeeefinitely has the know how!
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: hehe
[Team] Lexi@crystyll: lexi needs to let go of herself and accept this newfound UNLIMITED TRILL POWAH!
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Hahaha yeah!
[Team] Lexi@crystyll: assuming thats what the roll was for ofc hehe
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 65 (1-100)
[Team] Lexi@crystyll: see egzo, this is why you need a gut worm. they're all the rage now
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd:
Lexi@crystyll closes her eyes, almost meditatively as she concentrates on recalling memories
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Ok yeah... not Kialee, but Taden. He once ran a mission performing experiments out here..." smirks some, "He used a modified verteron pulse to calm the storms but screwed up the polarity. It created+
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: + a huge ion vortex that almost swallowed his ship! HA!"
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods again. <C> I bet between us, we could generate somethin' like that. And if anyone here's still got any transphasic torps, I know a trick with those that might give it a little extra kick.
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Nice" she grins, tapping her console on her armest, "Sending you all what I can remember from the verteron pulse config"
Egzo@HF_Mudd glances at it, and then over to his science Gorn to set up the deflector.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "I mainly use photons, but let me see if we might have some transphasics stacked away from raids on the Breen..."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Yes we do! How'd you want them used?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at Egzo* You had an idea?
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> We'll fly out first, dump some warp plasma. Then you shoot - the /plasma/, not us.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> That'll give us the seed, and then we hit it with the verty pulse and spin it up into a nice big storm.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> *whistles* Now that'll be quite a storm...
Lexi@crystyll grins, "I like it."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Let's plan this out and get into position. Wanna drop it between the listening post and the nearest base.
B'Atar@anncarise nods, "Aim a torpedo, that I can do!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Aye aye, I'll drop couple of listening probes in the outskirts to monitor any traffic.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Cynis here, we are in position, ready for the space magics!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hag'lhr in position... venting plasma in five. Wait for us to get clear!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth here, we have the transphasic torpedo ready.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> Roiling clouds and streamers of hot plasma appear, trailing from... nothing?
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Gimme the signal and I'll launch.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> All ships, stand by for that verteron pulse. And... fire!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <FX> San'leth fires a transphasic torpedo into the plasma clouds..
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (first the explosion, then we whip it up with the combined deflector emissions.)
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Transphasic torpedo detonates amid the warp plasma, igniting it and causing it to swirl into a literal fiery tornado...
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <FX> QanwI' charges it's main deflector ready for the combined verteron burst
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <FX> San'leth charges deflector as well.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth in position, deflector ready!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Let's light it up!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> More strangeness, as another portion of 'empty' space begins emitting an unearthly beam of wavering blue light, focused on the small but violent cloud.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <FX> San'leth joins in with a second beam coming out of seemingly nowhere.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Kor'goth's deflector joins in, emitting it's own verteron beam into the plasma vortex.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> At first. four bluish beams seem to have no effect, but then plasma vortex starts expanding rapidly into a missive maelstrom of ion discharges, forging birds of prey to fall back.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: *forcing
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> There it goes! Deflectors off!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth here, we are breaking off!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth turning deflector beam off too!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <FX> QanwI' backs away comfortably
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Damn that's quite the chaos, no comms can break through for sure!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> The post /might/ have picked that up, but from outside the system, should look like any other sudden storm.
[Tell] Sadia@gulremal: you detect incoming NCR ships, small hideki patrol approaches the ion storm
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> ... and here they come to have a look.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Let's take 'em out, then hit their base before they can react.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Aye, let's go get them!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Reading three hidekis on our course...got it. Let's make it quick.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> That's it! Go go go!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> With a well organized ambush, three hidekis are quickly dispatchd.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Good work, way to the first moon should be clear.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> Hag'lhr recloaks after the brief skirmish and heads toward the moon.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: space hugs good for healing!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Listening post is recalibrating their sensors, we should move out and take their defenses while we still have cloak surprise!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Coming up on their defenses...
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Pick your targets and strike without mercy!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Qapla'!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> One short and brutal battle later...
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth here, we've suffered moderate damage to left wing, but we are still operational.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth is operational too. Took a few small hits but we're good to fight on!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> All right, get us a good location to beam down and let's get to it!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Team succefully beams down to the storage area of the base...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Red lights and audible alarms in the background point to the fact that the enemy is scrambling their ground troops-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Need t'take their command center 'fore they finish panickin' and decide to wipe their data."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *takes out tricorder and scans the area* Multiple enemy squads on patrol...*mutters* Along with some mechanical pets it seems.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Mechanical pets? Like Maral's, or?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Can't miss those after all this time. Yeah, her droids right. Well, no change in plans anyway. Egzo, lead the way.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "We've crushed plenty of those. A few more isn't gonna hold us back!"
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods and heads out, with one of his pirates close behind.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Contacts left AND right."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Incoming from the right...
Egzo@HF_Mudd vaults the rail!
Egzo@HF_Mudd drops down to the lower level.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Hmmm, new shuttles!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "One more lifesign... in there."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks around after a bout of carnage*
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: They've locked themselves in.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Need to find way to crack the lock.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Gimme a sec."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "... still using /these/? Don't make me laugh..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, though we can expect reinforcements soonish.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Rush in, clear the room?
Egzo@HF_Mudd stacks up at the (now unlocked) door, then hits the button to open it.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Clear!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Let me... memory core's still intact."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, let's grab the data and GTFO!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Downloading."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *her wrist comm beeps*
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at her comm and reads the message*
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Got all I think we're going to from here"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Same. We're done."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Right in time, NCR patrols from otehr side of the system are incoming!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Time to get to the disappearing stage of the plan then!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods* See you back in the void!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> here they come!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hag'lhr, acting!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth is on it!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Damn, one of them is trying to run for it!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Not on my watch!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Chase them down!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Race you there!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Watch out, could be a--
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: terrans = ambush by hirogen
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Oh keelah the aggro
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> ... trap, slag it!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hirogen, incoming!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Where are you, you Alpha Bastard? I know you're out there somewhere.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Bastards fled...at least what's left of them. No heavies...luckily. I guess their main force is in Ventraxian space.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> ... yeah, guess so.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> These surprise attacks are annoying...got some good hits in on the San'leth.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Too bad, I was lookin' forward to THAT fight.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Guess it was only a matter of time before we run into some enemies who also know the value of stealth. Makes them more challenging to fight though!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth got lucky this time. Every else ready to warp out?
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Yeah, Hag'lhr's good.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Aye, we took some damage but we're still good to warp.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Officially we were ambushed by 5 hirogen raiders, we got 3 of them and rest used their holotech to get away
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Nothing we can't patch up back at base. Ready here.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> All right...just one thing left...
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hurhurhur.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Kor'goth turns around towards the moon, and fires a volley of high yield photon torps at the NCR base...torpesos fly in what looks like slow motion as they hit the -
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: - moon surface, vaporising the base with it's defenses down...
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Egzo like big boom. [said in a tone deliberately evoking his simpler kin]
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Now we're done here. Time to scram and see what the computer experts can get from this.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Always great to end the day with an explosion!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Long as it ain't yours...
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> See you back at home!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: -- SCENE END --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - phenomena. Just inside the badlands is the system where a hidden NCR listening post is located, and team is waiting the return of IKS Kor'goth, parasite craft of IKS Daramar and currently captained-

[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I got it!
[Team] Lexi@crystyll: got it!
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: I don't see it...?
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: it's the 1st mission in the redone cardie arc
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Spoils of War
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: mgiht have to grab the first intro bit if you haven't done that yet

[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I'll try not to kill everything in 3 seconds

[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> I must say, I didn't do some decent snopping around in ages. It got dicey on couple of occasions, but no signs we were detected.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Can't afford a Kelvin BoP and haven't gotten lucky enough with phoenix boxes to get a Breen raider!
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: so it stands in for San'leth for now hehe
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Will just not activate my AoE abilities so I don't kill things too fast haha

[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Aye aye, I'll drop couple of listening probes in the outskirts to monitor any traffic.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Cynis here, we are in position, ready for the space magics!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hag'lhr in position... venting plasma in five. Wait for us to get clear!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth here, we have the transphasic torpedo ready.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> Roiling clouds and streamers of hot plasma appear, trailing from... nothing?
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Gimme the signal and I'll launch.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> All ships, stand by for that verteron pulse. And... fire!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <FX> San'leth fires a transphasic torpedo into the plasma clouds..
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: (first the explosion, then we whip it up with the combined deflector emissions.)
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Transphasic torpedo detonates amid the warp plasma, igniting it and causing it to swirl into a literal fiery tornado...
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <FX> QanwI' charges it's main deflector ready for the combined verteron burst
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <FX> San'leth charges deflector as well.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth in position, deflector ready!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Let's light it up!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> More strangeness, as another portion of 'empty' space begins emitting an unearthly beam of wavering blue light, focused on the small but violent cloud.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <FX> San'leth joins in with a second beam coming out of seemingly nowhere.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Kor'goth's deflector joins in, emitting it's own verteron beam into the plasma vortex.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> At first. four bluish beams seem to have no effect, but then plasma vortex starts expanding rapidly into a missive maelstrom of ion discharges, forging birds of prey to fall back.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: *forcing
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> There it goes! Deflectors off!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth here, we are breaking off!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth turning deflector beam off too!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <FX> QanwI' backs away comfortably
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Damn that's quite the chaos, no comms can break through for sure!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> The post /might/ have picked that up, but from outside the system, should look like any other sudden storm.
[Tell] Sadia@gulremal: you detect incoming NCR ships, small hideki patrol approaches the ion storm
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> ... and here they come to have a look.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Let's take 'em out, then hit their base before they can react.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Aye, let's go get them!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Reading three hidekis on our course...got it. Let's make it quick.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> That's it! Go go go!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> With a well organized ambush, three hidekis are quickly dispatchd.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Good work, way to the first moon should be clear.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> Hag'lhr recloaks after the brief skirmish and heads toward the moon.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: space hugs good for healing!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Listening post is recalibrating their sensors, we should move out and take their defenses while we still have cloak surprise!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Coming up on their defenses...
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Pick your targets and strike without mercy!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Qapla'!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> One short and brutal battle later...
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth here, we've suffered moderate damage to left wing, but we are still operational.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth is operational too. Took a few small hits but we're good to fight on!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> All right, get us a good location to beam down and let's get to it!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Team succefully beams down to the storage area of the base...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Red lights and audible alarms in the background point to the fact that the enemy is scrambling their ground troops-
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Need t'take their command center 'fore they finish panickin' and decide to wipe their data."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *takes out tricorder and scans the area* Multiple enemy squads on patrol...*mutters* Along with some mechanical pets it seems.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Mechanical pets? Like Maral's, or?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Can't miss those after all this time. Yeah, her droids right. Well, no change in plans anyway. Egzo, lead the way.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "We've crushed plenty of those. A few more isn't gonna hold us back!"
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods and heads out, with one of his pirates close behind.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Contacts left AND right."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Incoming from the right...
Egzo@HF_Mudd vaults the rail!
Egzo@HF_Mudd drops down to the lower level.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Hmmm, new shuttles!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "One more lifesign... in there."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks around after a bout of carnage*
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: They've locked themselves in.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Need to find way to crack the lock.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Gimme a sec."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "... still using /these/? Don't make me laugh..."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, though we can expect reinforcements soonish.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Rush in, clear the room?
Egzo@HF_Mudd stacks up at the (now unlocked) door, then hits the button to open it.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Clear!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Let me... memory core's still intact."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, let's grab the data and GTFO!
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Downloading."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *her wrist comm beeps*
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at her comm and reads the message*
[Local] Lexi@crystyll: "Got all I think we're going to from here"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "Same. We're done."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Right in time, NCR patrols from otehr side of the system are incoming!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Time to get to the disappearing stage of the plan then!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods* See you back in the void!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> here they come!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hag'lhr, acting!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> San'leth is on it!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Damn, one of them is trying to run for it!
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Not on my watch!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Chase them down!
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Race you there!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Watch out, could be a--
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: terrans = ambush by hirogen
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Oh keelah the aggro
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> ... trap, slag it!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hirogen, incoming!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Where are you, you Alpha Bastard? I know you're out there somewhere.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Bastards fled...at least what's left of them. No heavies...luckily. I guess their main force is in Ventraxian space.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> ... yeah, guess so.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> These surprise attacks are annoying...got some good hits in on the San'leth.
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Too bad, I was lookin' forward to THAT fight.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Guess it was only a matter of time before we run into some enemies who also know the value of stealth. Makes them more challenging to fight though!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Kor'goth got lucky this time. Every else ready to warp out?
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Yeah, Hag'lhr's good.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Aye, we took some damage but we're still good to warp.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Officially we were ambushed by 5 hirogen raiders, we got 3 of them and rest used their holotech to get away
[Fleet] Lexi@crystyll: <C> Nothing we can't patch up back at base. Ready here.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> All right...just one thing left...
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Hurhurhur.
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Kor'goth turns around towards the moon, and fires a volley of high yield photon torps at the NCR base...torpesos fly in what looks like slow motion as they hit the -
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: - moon surface, vaporising the base with it's defenses down...
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Egzo like big boom. [said in a tone deliberately evoking his simpler kin]
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> Now we're done here. Time to scram and see what the computer experts can get from this.
[Fleet] B'Atar@anncarise: <C> Always great to end the day with an explosion!
[Fleet] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <C> Long as it ain't yours...
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: <C> See you back at home!
[Fleet] Sadia@gulremal: -- SCENE END --
