Spoiler: Mission logShow
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *looks at the strategic map and checks her PADD*
B'Atar@anncarise steps into the room and gives Sadia a salute.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: Qapla', Sadia!
B'Atar@anncarise salutes Sadia with respect.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, folks, we've got some serious work to do.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods to B'atar and motions to her to sit*
B'Atar@anncarise makes her way over to her usual seat.
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods to B'Atar in greeting.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Just earlier today, we've got a coded transmission from the D'rexian Rebellion. It was an audio message from the Unfettered Voice of the Dispossesed.
Egzo@HF_Mudd has a PADD out too; he's actually taking this seriously. Of course, he also has a mug of something (bloodwine, probably) in front of him...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *she leans back and activates her PADD, playing back the message*
B'Atar@anncarise nods back to Egzo and looks back to Sadia, listening to the message.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <Voice> Greetings, warriors of the Empire! I apologize for not appearing in person this time, but events have progressed very fast and by the time you are listening to this, I will not hold this form-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - anymore. After the destruction of the Hated Enemy's supply station three weeks ago, we have recovered an important intel while eavesdropping on their comms.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <Voice> The Breen Confederacy is in state of a civil war. Northern Breen States suffered severe damage during something called the "Hur'q revival", and they requested the assistance from the other -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - states. After a quick refusal, northern states have gathered their military might and started raiding other states in response. Their forces have reached Fenrisal northern borders, and Fenrisal -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - government has recalled most of their forces to repell this threat. This means that current Breen forces in our space have not received reinforcements and most likely will not for a while.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <Voice> We believe this is the best time to finally remove the Hated Enemy from our world and liberate our people. To this purpose, myself and Eximious Prophet of the Greet Deeds to Come will unite -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - to form a massive comm relay and send a call to fight to every D'rexian resistance cell and prisoner. Then, using Prophet's powerful teleportation abilities, we will distribute weapons to every -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - prisoner and coordinate the uprising.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <Voice> We managed to recover a couple of spaceships to defend me and Prophet in the orbit of the Garden of Wisdom, but we know they will not be enough. We ask you to come to our aid and help us -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - keep the remaining Breen space force occupied until we send the message.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <Voice> We sent this message to other groups of interest, but we are not sure they will answer our call. Hopefully this is the last time we call for your aid. It is time to go.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *the message stops* Well, that's all we've got - there was probably more, but it got interrupted.
Egzo@HF_Mudd observes as the message ends, "Guess we shoulda seen this comin'. The Hur'q did a number on /everybody/ in this part a' space."
Egzo@HF_Mudd asks the boss, "We think they got a shot at this?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *shrugs* Well, both Voice and Prophet are special, even for their kind. Considering Prophet teleported our entire task force out of the Badlands for almost 5 light years away from where we found him,
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "And we might not get a better shot of driving the Breen back than this."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - I'd say yes, they could do that. Defending themselves from the Breen forces is another matter.
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Breen will most likely send every ship in D'rexian space to the Garden of Wisdom *space map appears showing old D'Rexian Planet States' space, icons of Breen ships moving from at least half-a-dozen -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - occupied planets towards one planet.*
Egzo@HF_Mudd brags, "That makes it easy for us, then."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: We are talking about 6 to 8 cruisers, two dozen raiders...no battleships on long range sensors so far, luckily. I guess they recalled every big hitter to protect their north borders.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: But there could be more ships - we are talking about people who snuck entire fleet to hit the Federation capitol during the Dominion War.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "What if we do the same? Not hit their capital, I mean. Sneak our ships there too."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Let them think they're just dealing with the D'rexians. And hit them when they start the battle."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "I figured we'd just roll in the big D, with the rest of us as escorts."
Egzo@HF_Mudd shrugs.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "I guess if there is any time to put him in action, this is it."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: We won't be able to keep our cloaks in high warp, if we want to arrive in time. We'll have to leg it, and quick. I've already scrambled two squadrons to intercept some of the breen groups, if nothing
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - to slow them down.
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods again.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "So is Daramar ready for action?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I've send message to Ventraxians too. General Xvisj is sending a task force to help, but their ships are slower than ours.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Egzo* Yes, we are ready to move out.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Any ideas beofre we head out?
Egzo@HF_Mudd takes the opportunity to grab his mug and drain it.
B'Atar@anncarise shakes her head, "Nothing I got right now."
Egzo@HF_Mudd sets it back down and declares, "I'm good."
Lorri@crystyll shakes her head too
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, let's get going, then!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: This will be a great battle!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Big Breen fleet, already sounds like fun!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Some time later, ships jump out of high warp in the system holding the D'rexian colony of Garden of Wisdom.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Garden of Wisdom is purplish, Earth sized planet covered by large swathes of natural growing crystals.
B'Atar@anncarise checks to see what the D'rexians have managed to gather for this fight.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Crystal's structure makes scanning the planet's surface very difficult, but you are quickly drawn to orbit of the planet. There, a massive crystalline structure looking like a complex snowflake -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - is growing, with a big black sphere at it's center. Surges of power jump from the sphere onto teh snowflake, and it grows new crystal parts in all directions.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Not far away, you notice at least a dozen of breen ships, 4 cruisers and 8 raiders at this moment, trading fire with a almavian militarized cargo freighter and...3 asteroids?
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "You seeing this too? What're they shooting at?"
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Those are not asteroids. We are seeing controlled movement and kinetic weaponry on them"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> Shlaak announces, from off-holocam, "That'ss the Fortunate Fate, command sshhip for the Almavivan Free Traderss... we ssaved their colony a while back."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Can't get any internal scans though. Dense mineral hulls are scattering the sensor beams"
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Some kind of D'rexian...construct, maybe? One of their forms?"
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "There's a lot of these...asteroid thing pieces in the debris too. Maybe we'll be able to scan these?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: They are fighting Breen, so seems that's the case. Daramar and Thana will move in and draw attention, Hag'hlr and San'leth should cloak and prepare to ambush as needed.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Kang and Kor squadrons have engaged the other arriving Breen squadrons. Let's not waste time!
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods, looking off-cam again as he announces, "Hag'lhr, acting."
B'Atar@anncarise nods, "San'leth, acting as well."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Helm, bring us straight into the heart of the battle! Tactical, get us the targeting locks and sent them to the rest of the squadron. Battle stations!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> A minute later, squadron closes into weapons range of the battle. By this point, another of the strange D'rexian cruiser-sized ships is blown apart by the superior breen fire. Fortunate Fate
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - has suffered moderate damage, but it's massive hulk and dozens of defense turrets keep the breen suppressed.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C-FF> Fortunate Fate to klingon forces, your timing is great as always! Breen are keeping us from positioning for our main railgun barrage, think you can buy us some time to reposition?
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 1 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves in the center of the fight, front shields at maximum.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Cynis here, we'll take the heat off you, and keep and raiders busy, just make it quick!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar opens fire at one of the four Breen cruisers that are keeping the tight formation, trying to break through towards the cyrstalling snowflake.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 24 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Of course, Daramar keeps rolling low until you use it as a battering ram
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: hehe
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Disruptor bolts and photon torpedoes strike the fowards shielding of the breen vessel, but it seems that the cruisers are sharing sheilds so only minor damage is inflicted...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: breen cruiser 1: front shields down to 70%
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: you know it!
Lorri@crystyll | Thana follows Daramar into the frey, unleashing fire from all broadside weapons while both Interceptor squadrons swarm out from it's underside to increase the chaos
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 26 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Thana's fire makes another dent into the cruiser's shields, and interceptor squadrons start harrying 2 breen raiders...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Breen raiders are currently trying to reorganize with new arrivals joining the fray...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: breen cruiser 1: front shields down to 50%
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth tries to sneak behind the flank of one of the raiders before decloaking and opening fire with its mix of Klingon disruptor cannons and Breen polaron beams.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 85 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Breen raider is caught completely off-guard while trying to fall back from an attack run on the Fortunate Fate. It's shields have already suffered some damage and San'leth's polarons drain the -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - remaining shields while disruptors disable it's engines, sending it into spiraling drop into the planet's atmosphere...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Hag'lhr ripples back into visibility as it attempts to flank and light up another of the Breen raiders.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 87 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I like how the BoPs are doing well hehe
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr targets another damaged Breen raider that was returning from the attack run. Disruptors burn the shields while photon torpedo hits the center, blowing up the engineering and ship with it.
Egzo@HF_Mudd clenches and pumps a fist in triumph.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Two remaining D'rexian vessels use this respite to fall back start regenerating their hulls. Fortunate Fate goes to full reverse, trying to build some distance before they can turn sideways and -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - bare their main broadside railguns at the enemy.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Crusers stay in formation and focus fire on the Daramar. Polaron beams, cannons and transphasic weapons light the front shields like the Christmass tree, but shields hold at 60%.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *transphasic torps
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Out of 6 ramining raiders, 4 manage to regroup and face the Hag'lhr and San'leth, focusing fire on the former. Hag'lhr's shields take a couple of nasty hits, and they are down to 50%.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Two remaining raiders try to shake off the Interceptors to on effect...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 2 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Charge the main autocannon! Target the first cruiser and fire!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar stares the four cruisers, as massive autocannons lights up...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 37 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Stream of disruptor bolts overwhelms the enemy shields, but they give up at the last moment, without cruiser taking any direct damage...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Cruiser 1: no shields.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Cruisers 2-4: shields at 75%
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Did you fire the cannon half-charged?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
Lorri@crystyll | Thana continues to plague the more well defended cruisers while it's interceptors swarm like locusts at the one with no shields
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 77 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Thana's fire drops the shields on the second cruiser, while the Interceptors break off the raiders and head towards the shieldless cruiser, doing only minor damage to it's hull at the current range.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd orders his helmcat to go evasive, while directing the gunners to take any targets of opportunity.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: cruisers 1 and 2: no shields
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: cruisers 3 and 4: 75% shields
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: So, mostly evading and rebuilding shields, plinking at anyone in my sights.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 18 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: *winces* could be worse, though. I'll stand on that, and not tempt fate.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr moves into evasive stance, and it's aft weapons fail to connect with enemy vessels...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth breaks off from Hag'lhr to evade the fire, then tries to spin around to get another raider into range of all the forward weapons for another attack run.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 75 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> San'leth makes a sharp 180̊ turn and hits another raider, dropping it's shields and hitting one of it's wing, destroying one of the main cannons and decreasing their speed.
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth darts away right after the attack, hoping to draw some of the other raiders away from Hag'lhr.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Two D'rexian cruisers form at Daramar's flanks, firing at the first cruiser with their kinetic cannons - projectiles turn out to be supercompressed plasma which does horrible damage to exposed-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - hull, literally melting parts of the ship and causing it to start breaking apart...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Fortunate Fate backpedals more before it starts turning to a side. As it does so, dozen shutters start opening on the side facing the enemy, revealing the rail cannons...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> The crystalline structure stops growing in size, and starts "filling in the blanks" in the central structure...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> 3 remaining cruisers move away from the remains of the 1st one, keeping their focus on the Daramar. Their strikes are more precise at closer distance and the front shields star to buckle. Couple-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - of transphasic torpedoes tunnel through the shielding and hit the hull, but armor plating absorbs most of the blow.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> 5 raiders break off their pursuit and all head towards the Fortunate Fate, focusing fire at the weakest spot in their shielding. Fortunate Fate's already depleted shields are finally down, but -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - no shots damage the hull this time.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 3 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> The damaged raider tries to ram one of the closest D'rexian cruisers, but Thana's covering fire takes it out before it reaches the target!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Target the shielded cruisers! Drop their shields so that the kinetic weapons can rip them apart!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's weapons fire at two cruisers with their shields still up.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 40 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Volleys of disruptors and torpedoes manage to drop the shields of one of the cruisers, but the last one has it's shields still at 75%.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
Lorri@crystyll | Thana focuses fire on the shielded cruiser
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 46 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Coordinated attack of main Thana's weapons and her Interceptor squadrons manages to buckle the shields of the last cruiser!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth gives chase to the raiders going for Fortunate Fate, opening fire after them and trying to take more out.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 94 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> San'leth uses the complete disregard of the enemy raiders for enemies at their aft, and easily burns down another raider with a precise fire.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd growls, "We gotta get back in this fight." He points to one of the raiders attacking the Fortunate Fate: "Hit that one!"
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 63 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr fire burns down the shields and disables the weapons on another raider.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> D'rexian cruisers fire on the second enemy cruiser, their kinetic/plasma weapons ripping and melting it's central part in the matter of seconds, causing it to explode.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Fortunate Fate port side is now fully turned to incoming raiders and cruisers in the distance, and railguns start their barrage...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: anyone wants to roll?
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I've been rolling well so far and I have a feeling I might roll not so well soon..
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: and I don't want to ruin the big attack haha
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: anyone else?
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Eh, I'll do it.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I can do it if no one -
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 87 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Ahh good
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Yes!
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: We dont' all die
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: hehe
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Massive chunks of superheated metal accelerated to near light-speed rip into the Breen formations. Two breen raiders are blown away, forcing remaining 3 to evade, while the remaining rounds hit -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - one of the Breen cruisers, splitting it right in the middle...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Remaining Breen cruiser rams the Daramar...
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Hag'lhr also evades (again), not wanting to get caught by friendly fire.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Wow it's the Daramar getting rammed for once...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 55 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Ramming the battering ram, that's...a new strategy
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Cruiser hits the Daramar stright on, cruiser and the front "hammer" part of the battlecruiser lost in the resulting explosion.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Small series of explosions follow up in the center neck part of Daramar as emergency fields and secondary SIF kick in.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 4 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Comms with Daramar are down, but the ship goes into full emergency mode as all save essential power is turned off, SIF gets reifnorced and hazard emitters are activated...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 18 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: re-rolling that
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 15 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: the dice have spoken :/
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Ship is holding for now, but it's completely out of combat.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: retargets the nearest hostile with all weapons
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 24 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: all cruisers gone, 4 raiders in good shape, 1 raider with serious damage
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Thana repositions to shoot at the Breen raiders, but fails to score any direct hits, while Interceptors close into firing range...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
B'Atar@anncarise continues to chase after the Breen raiders with the nimble San'leth.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 75 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Okay at this rate I'm gonna be rolling 10s and 1s all next event haha
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> San'leth is on a roll today, as another raider floats disabled in the local space...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd stares at his viewscreen as the flash fades, sitting down hard and slumping back in his command chair. All he can manage is a simple, heartfelt "[censored]."
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Though some are also shocked by seeing Daramar lose most of his bow, Hag'lhr's other officers try to continue the fight, chasing down another raider.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 68 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr finishes off the already damaged raider...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> D'rexian cruisers close on Daramar, latching onto it, and start moving it away from the planet's gravity well.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Fortunate Fate's PD turrets form a wall of phaser bolts between breen raiders and the giant snowflake.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Remaining breen raiders speed up and start a full retreat...
B'Atar@anncarise chases after them, but not too closely in case they're luring into a trap, mostly just tailing behind and taking potshots to scare them away.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> The sphere in the center of the snowflake suddenly lights up, followed by entire snowflake. Massive energy readouts overwhelm the sensors.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- SCENE END --
B'Atar@anncarise steps into the room and gives Sadia a salute.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: Qapla', Sadia!
B'Atar@anncarise salutes Sadia with respect.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, folks, we've got some serious work to do.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *nods to B'atar and motions to her to sit*
B'Atar@anncarise makes her way over to her usual seat.
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods to B'Atar in greeting.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Just earlier today, we've got a coded transmission from the D'rexian Rebellion. It was an audio message from the Unfettered Voice of the Dispossesed.
Egzo@HF_Mudd has a PADD out too; he's actually taking this seriously. Of course, he also has a mug of something (bloodwine, probably) in front of him...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *she leans back and activates her PADD, playing back the message*
B'Atar@anncarise nods back to Egzo and looks back to Sadia, listening to the message.

[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - keep the remaining Breen space force occupied until we send the message.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <Voice> We sent this message to other groups of interest, but we are not sure they will answer our call. Hopefully this is the last time we call for your aid. It is time to go.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *the message stops* Well, that's all we've got - there was probably more, but it got interrupted.
Egzo@HF_Mudd observes as the message ends, "Guess we shoulda seen this comin'. The Hur'q did a number on /everybody/ in this part a' space."
Egzo@HF_Mudd asks the boss, "We think they got a shot at this?"

[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - I'd say yes, they could do that. Defending themselves from the Breen forces is another matter.
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Breen will most likely send every ship in D'rexian space to the Garden of Wisdom *space map appears showing old D'Rexian Planet States' space, icons of Breen ships moving from at least half-a-dozen -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - occupied planets towards one planet.*
Egzo@HF_Mudd brags, "That makes it easy for us, then."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: We are talking about 6 to 8 cruisers, two dozen raiders...no battleships on long range sensors so far, luckily. I guess they recalled every big hitter to protect their north borders.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: But there could be more ships - we are talking about people who snuck entire fleet to hit the Federation capitol during the Dominion War.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "What if we do the same? Not hit their capital, I mean. Sneak our ships there too."
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Let them think they're just dealing with the D'rexians. And hit them when they start the battle."
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "I figured we'd just roll in the big D, with the rest of us as escorts."
Egzo@HF_Mudd shrugs.
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "I guess if there is any time to put him in action, this is it."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: We won't be able to keep our cloaks in high warp, if we want to arrive in time. We'll have to leg it, and quick. I've already scrambled two squadrons to intercept some of the breen groups, if nothing
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - to slow them down.
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods again.
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: "So is Daramar ready for action?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: I've send message to Ventraxians too. General Xvisj is sending a task force to help, but their ships are slower than ours.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *to Egzo* Yes, we are ready to move out.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Any ideas beofre we head out?
Egzo@HF_Mudd takes the opportunity to grab his mug and drain it.
B'Atar@anncarise shakes her head, "Nothing I got right now."
Egzo@HF_Mudd sets it back down and declares, "I'm good."
Lorri@crystyll shakes her head too
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: All right, let's get going, then!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: This will be a great battle!
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Big Breen fleet, already sounds like fun!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Some time later, ships jump out of high warp in the system holding the D'rexian colony of Garden of Wisdom.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Garden of Wisdom is purplish, Earth sized planet covered by large swathes of natural growing crystals.
B'Atar@anncarise checks to see what the D'rexians have managed to gather for this fight.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Crystal's structure makes scanning the planet's surface very difficult, but you are quickly drawn to orbit of the planet. There, a massive crystalline structure looking like a complex snowflake -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - is growing, with a big black sphere at it's center. Surges of power jump from the sphere onto teh snowflake, and it grows new crystal parts in all directions.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Not far away, you notice at least a dozen of breen ships, 4 cruisers and 8 raiders at this moment, trading fire with a almavian militarized cargo freighter and...3 asteroids?
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "You seeing this too? What're they shooting at?"
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Those are not asteroids. We are seeing controlled movement and kinetic weaponry on them"
[Local] Egzo@HF_Mudd: <FX> Shlaak announces, from off-holocam, "That'ss the Fortunate Fate, command sshhip for the Almavivan Free Traderss... we ssaved their colony a while back."
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: "Can't get any internal scans though. Dense mineral hulls are scattering the sensor beams"
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "Some kind of D'rexian...construct, maybe? One of their forms?"
[Local] B'Atar@anncarise: "There's a lot of these...asteroid thing pieces in the debris too. Maybe we'll be able to scan these?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: They are fighting Breen, so seems that's the case. Daramar and Thana will move in and draw attention, Hag'hlr and San'leth should cloak and prepare to ambush as needed.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Kang and Kor squadrons have engaged the other arriving Breen squadrons. Let's not waste time!
Egzo@HF_Mudd nods, looking off-cam again as he announces, "Hag'lhr, acting."
B'Atar@anncarise nods, "San'leth, acting as well."
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Helm, bring us straight into the heart of the battle! Tactical, get us the targeting locks and sent them to the rest of the squadron. Battle stations!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> A minute later, squadron closes into weapons range of the battle. By this point, another of the strange D'rexian cruiser-sized ships is blown apart by the superior breen fire. Fortunate Fate
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - has suffered moderate damage, but it's massive hulk and dozens of defense turrets keep the breen suppressed.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <C-FF> Fortunate Fate to klingon forces, your timing is great as always! Breen are keeping us from positioning for our main railgun barrage, think you can buy us some time to reposition?
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 1 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar moves in the center of the fight, front shields at maximum.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: Cynis here, we'll take the heat off you, and keep and raiders busy, just make it quick!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar opens fire at one of the four Breen cruisers that are keeping the tight formation, trying to break through towards the cyrstalling snowflake.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 24 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Of course, Daramar keeps rolling low until you use it as a battering ram
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: hehe
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Disruptor bolts and photon torpedoes strike the fowards shielding of the breen vessel, but it seems that the cruisers are sharing sheilds so only minor damage is inflicted...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: breen cruiser 1: front shields down to 70%
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: you know it!
Lorri@crystyll | Thana follows Daramar into the frey, unleashing fire from all broadside weapons while both Interceptor squadrons swarm out from it's underside to increase the chaos
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 26 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Thana's fire makes another dent into the cruiser's shields, and interceptor squadrons start harrying 2 breen raiders...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Breen raiders are currently trying to reorganize with new arrivals joining the fray...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: breen cruiser 1: front shields down to 50%
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth tries to sneak behind the flank of one of the raiders before decloaking and opening fire with its mix of Klingon disruptor cannons and Breen polaron beams.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 85 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Breen raider is caught completely off-guard while trying to fall back from an attack run on the Fortunate Fate. It's shields have already suffered some damage and San'leth's polarons drain the -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - remaining shields while disruptors disable it's engines, sending it into spiraling drop into the planet's atmosphere...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Hag'lhr ripples back into visibility as it attempts to flank and light up another of the Breen raiders.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 87 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I like how the BoPs are doing well hehe
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr targets another damaged Breen raider that was returning from the attack run. Disruptors burn the shields while photon torpedo hits the center, blowing up the engineering and ship with it.
Egzo@HF_Mudd clenches and pumps a fist in triumph.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Two remaining D'rexian vessels use this respite to fall back start regenerating their hulls. Fortunate Fate goes to full reverse, trying to build some distance before they can turn sideways and -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - bare their main broadside railguns at the enemy.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Crusers stay in formation and focus fire on the Daramar. Polaron beams, cannons and transphasic weapons light the front shields like the Christmass tree, but shields hold at 60%.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: *transphasic torps
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Out of 6 ramining raiders, 4 manage to regroup and face the Hag'lhr and San'leth, focusing fire on the former. Hag'lhr's shields take a couple of nasty hits, and they are down to 50%.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Two remaining raiders try to shake off the Interceptors to on effect...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 2 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Charge the main autocannon! Target the first cruiser and fire!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar stares the four cruisers, as massive autocannons lights up...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 37 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Stream of disruptor bolts overwhelms the enemy shields, but they give up at the last moment, without cruiser taking any direct damage...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Cruiser 1: no shields.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: Cruisers 2-4: shields at 75%
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Did you fire the cannon half-charged?"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
Lorri@crystyll | Thana continues to plague the more well defended cruisers while it's interceptors swarm like locusts at the one with no shields
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 77 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Thana's fire drops the shields on the second cruiser, while the Interceptors break off the raiders and head towards the shieldless cruiser, doing only minor damage to it's hull at the current range.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd orders his helmcat to go evasive, while directing the gunners to take any targets of opportunity.
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: cruisers 1 and 2: no shields
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: cruisers 3 and 4: 75% shields
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: So, mostly evading and rebuilding shields, plinking at anyone in my sights.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 18 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: *winces* could be worse, though. I'll stand on that, and not tempt fate.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr moves into evasive stance, and it's aft weapons fail to connect with enemy vessels...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth breaks off from Hag'lhr to evade the fire, then tries to spin around to get another raider into range of all the forward weapons for another attack run.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 75 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> San'leth makes a sharp 180̊ turn and hits another raider, dropping it's shields and hitting one of it's wing, destroying one of the main cannons and decreasing their speed.
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth darts away right after the attack, hoping to draw some of the other raiders away from Hag'lhr.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Two D'rexian cruisers form at Daramar's flanks, firing at the first cruiser with their kinetic cannons - projectiles turn out to be supercompressed plasma which does horrible damage to exposed-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - hull, literally melting parts of the ship and causing it to start breaking apart...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Fortunate Fate backpedals more before it starts turning to a side. As it does so, dozen shutters start opening on the side facing the enemy, revealing the rail cannons...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> The crystalline structure stops growing in size, and starts "filling in the blanks" in the central structure...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> 3 remaining cruisers move away from the remains of the 1st one, keeping their focus on the Daramar. Their strikes are more precise at closer distance and the front shields star to buckle. Couple-
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - of transphasic torpedoes tunnel through the shielding and hit the hull, but armor plating absorbs most of the blow.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> 5 raiders break off their pursuit and all head towards the Fortunate Fate, focusing fire at the weakest spot in their shielding. Fortunate Fate's already depleted shields are finally down, but -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - no shots damage the hull this time.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 3 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> The damaged raider tries to ram one of the closest D'rexian cruisers, but Thana's covering fire takes it out before it reaches the target!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: "Target the shielded cruisers! Drop their shields so that the kinetic weapons can rip them apart!"
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Daramar's weapons fire at two cruisers with their shields still up.
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 40 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Volleys of disruptors and torpedoes manage to drop the shields of one of the cruisers, but the last one has it's shields still at 75%.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
Lorri@crystyll | Thana focuses fire on the shielded cruiser
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 46 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Coordinated attack of main Thana's weapons and her Interceptor squadrons manages to buckle the shields of the last cruiser!
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
B'Atar@anncarise | San'leth gives chase to the raiders going for Fortunate Fate, opening fire after them and trying to take more out.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 94 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> San'leth uses the complete disregard of the enemy raiders for enemies at their aft, and easily burns down another raider with a precise fire.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd growls, "We gotta get back in this fight." He points to one of the raiders attacking the Fortunate Fate: "Hit that one!"
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 63 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr fire burns down the shields and disables the weapons on another raider.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> D'rexian cruisers fire on the second enemy cruiser, their kinetic/plasma weapons ripping and melting it's central part in the matter of seconds, causing it to explode.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Fortunate Fate port side is now fully turned to incoming raiders and cruisers in the distance, and railguns start their barrage...
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: anyone wants to roll?
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I've been rolling well so far and I have a feeling I might roll not so well soon..
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: and I don't want to ruin the big attack haha
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: anyone else?
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: Eh, I'll do it.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: I can do it if no one -
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 87 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Ahh good
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Yes!
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: We dont' all die
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: hehe
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Massive chunks of superheated metal accelerated to near light-speed rip into the Breen formations. Two breen raiders are blown away, forcing remaining 3 to evade, while the remaining rounds hit -
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: - one of the Breen cruisers, splitting it right in the middle...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Remaining Breen cruiser rams the Daramar...
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Hag'lhr also evades (again), not wanting to get caught by friendly fire.
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Wow it's the Daramar getting rammed for once...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 55 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Ramming the battering ram, that's...a new strategy
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Cruiser hits the Daramar stright on, cruiser and the front "hammer" part of the battlecruiser lost in the resulting explosion.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Small series of explosions follow up in the center neck part of Daramar as emergency fields and secondary SIF kick in.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- ROUND 4 --
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Comms with Daramar are down, but the ship goes into full emergency mode as all save essential power is turned off, SIF gets reifnorced and hazard emitters are activated...
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 18 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: re-rolling that
[Emotes] Sadia@gulremal: rolls 15 (1-100)
[Team] Egzo@HF_Mudd: the dice have spoken :/
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Ship is holding for now, but it's completely out of combat.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Lorri's action --
[Local] Lorri@crystyll: retargets the nearest hostile with all weapons
[Emotes] Lorri@crystyll: rolls 24 (1-100)
[Team] Sadia@gulremal: all cruisers gone, 4 raiders in good shape, 1 raider with serious damage
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Thana repositions to shoot at the Breen raiders, but fails to score any direct hits, while Interceptors close into firing range...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- B'atar's action --
B'Atar@anncarise continues to chase after the Breen raiders with the nimble San'leth.
[Emotes] B'Atar@anncarise: rolls 75 (1-100)
[Team] B'Atar@anncarise: Okay at this rate I'm gonna be rolling 10s and 1s all next event haha
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> San'leth is on a roll today, as another raider floats disabled in the local space...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- Egzo's action --
Egzo@HF_Mudd stares at his viewscreen as the flash fades, sitting down hard and slumping back in his command chair. All he can manage is a simple, heartfelt "[censored]."
Egzo@HF_Mudd <FX> Though some are also shocked by seeing Daramar lose most of his bow, Hag'lhr's other officers try to continue the fight, chasing down another raider.
[Emotes] Egzo@HF_Mudd: rolls 68 (1-100)
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Hag'lhr finishes off the already damaged raider...
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> D'rexian cruisers close on Daramar, latching onto it, and start moving it away from the planet's gravity well.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Fortunate Fate's PD turrets form a wall of phaser bolts between breen raiders and the giant snowflake.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> Remaining breen raiders speed up and start a full retreat...
B'Atar@anncarise chases after them, but not too closely in case they're luring into a trap, mostly just tailing behind and taking potshots to scare them away.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: <FX> The sphere in the center of the snowflake suddenly lights up, followed by entire snowflake. Massive energy readouts overwhelm the sensors.
[Local] Sadia@gulremal: -- SCENE END --
