Ens. Loren Landers slept fitfully that night after receiving his | |||
assignment. Adm. Crowell had been curt, to the point, but also | |||
non-complimenting. | |||
From his body language, Loren could tell Crowell thought him well suited | |||
for a position as CNS, but nothing else. | |||
Still, he was here in Starfleet after a long uphill climb. After being | |||
alone for most of his life and having to fend for himself, it felt good | |||
to be part of a team, a kind of family almost... Starfleet. | |||
Loren | The next morning, Loren headed for the shuttlebay where he ran into Ens. | ||
Allan Desoto, the same Ens. he had trained with on Armstrong Lunar Base. | |||
"Hey, Landers," came the call from across the shuttlebay. Allan walked | |||
up to Landers, beaming from ear to ear. "I got my assignment. I headed | |||
for Green Fleet and SB Delta. I think I might get a posting as NAV | |||
officer for the LEVIATHAN out there, but I'm not sure. What about you?" | |||
"Adm. Crowell has assigned me to Silver Fleet. Looks like I'm going to | |||
be a CNS." said Loren. | |||
" | "Loren, you sound dissappointed," stated Desoto. | ||
"No, I'm actually quite happy that I got this assignment. I prefer | |||
helping people and with my...special abilities...I seem to have a knack | |||
with knowing how people are up here," said Landers pointing to his head. | |||
"Well, I wish you the best of luck Loren Landers. Maybe, we'll run up on | |||
each other again," said Desoto. | |||
" | "The same here Desoto, see you around." | ||
Loren watched Desoto clamber into his runabout headed for Green fleet | |||
before climbing in his shuttle headed for silver fleet. | |||
The Shuttle named the Harrah was packed with new personnel headed for SB | |||
EPSILON. Loren took a seat in the passenger compartment of the shuttle | |||
and called up the fleet roster for Silver fleet. He intended to do some | |||
studying while waiting for arrival at SB EPSILON. | |||
The D-warp shuttle experience was somewhat uneventful for Loren, with one | |||
exception. Upon entering the netherworld of D-warp, Loren felt a minor | |||
tingle...not physical, but mental. <nowiki>*It's as if my telepathic powers were | |||
suddenly skewed in some way*</nowiki> he thought. The feeling was so strange that | |||
Loren couldn't even describe it to himself. | |||
Seeing as this was his first actual D-warp trip, Loren was glad when it | |||
was over and the pilot announced their docking at SB EPSILON. | |||
Leaving his possesions with a yeoman, Loren made his way to CINCSILVER's | |||
office and his new assignment. | |||

The outer office was abuzz with activity. Most were crowded around | |||
viewscreens watching some official ceremony and even the secretary to the | |||
Vice Admirals office was intent on watching. Loren could feel air of | |||
expectation and celebration before he even left the turbolift doors. | |||
[Out of the deaths we will find life, out of the sorrow we will find hope. | |||
To do anything less would dishonour those who have gone before us . . . | |||
those who have died. I call upon you to join together, bound by the loss of | |||
comrades and of ships I call upon you to form a new, stronger force.] | |||
He crossed to look over a few shoulders at the viewscreen. It | |||
showed a full crew standing at attention in a very large cargo deck. On a | |||
dias before them stood some officer headed by a single dominant figure of a | |||
Vice Admiral. Loren correctly assumed his assignment might be put on hold | |||
for a few moments and watched, half his attention on the screen but an equal | |||
half on the staff around him. As the Admiral continued he saw some tears | |||
form and be wiped away as well as some smiles. It was like attending a | |||
funeral at which a new birth is announced. As the commissioning ceremony | |||
ended he saw a few shake their heads in wonder and some money pass hands. | |||
The secretary was dabbing her eyes as she saw the betazoid approach. | |||
"I'm sorry the Vice Admiral is not here right now but if you'd like to wait | |||
I am sure that . . . " | |||
She never finished her sentence as the Turbolift doors opened and a | |||
huge bear of a man crossed the room and came up the to the secretary. | |||
'Hrrmf, he next for me? Right then, come on." | |||
So saying the Admiral Nicholas entered his office followed by a | |||
bemused Ensign. "Bio chip?" Taking the proferred chip he slotted it into a | |||
reader, skimmed it, then spun it back across the table to the CNS. "I have | |||
been wailing for CNS's for months now. It's nice to see that they finally | |||
saw fit to listen. I have two openings for someone of your calibre but | |||
unfortunatly only one slot that would truly suit you. The other is on a | |||
mission into Klingon territory and not what I think would be the best way | |||
for you to start." | |||
" | "It would be . . . uncomfortable." Agreed the Ensign, when it | ||
for | became obvious the Admiral was waiting for a response. | ||
"Hrrmf, uncomfortable eh? Well then, that leaves us with putting | |||
you onto a D-warp . . . .what?" Grey eyes snapped to meet the dark ones of | |||
the Betazoid. | |||
"Sir?" | |||
"Your reaction when I mentioned D-Warp. Have some difficulties | |||
coming over?" | |||
Of course, someone could have something more original in mind which is | "No, no, I just feel like I have been in it for a while now, hard to | ||
get my 'legs' back." The Counsellor lied, unsure how he could explain his | |||
feelings about D-warp to an Admiral when he had yet to even find words for | |||
them for himself. | |||
"Well, get them back once you reach the Feynman because that is | |||
where you are going to be the new head counsellor. Ops will give you docking | |||
bay and departure time so dismissed Ensign, dismissed." | |||

Scene: SB EPSILON---->USS FEYNMAN<br> | |||
"No, no, I just feel like I have been in it for a while now, hard to | |||
get my 'legs' back." The Counsellor lied, unsure how he could explain his | |||
feelings about D-warp to an Admiral when he had yet to even find words for | |||
them for himself. | |||
"Well, get them back once you reach the Feynman because that is | |||
where you are going to be the new head counsellor. Ops will give you docking | |||
bay and departure time so dismissed Ensign, dismissed."<br> | |||
<nowiki>-------------------------------------------------------------</nowiki> | |||
Loren gathered the information he needed to know from a young Lt. in | |||
station ops. Apparently not much had been heard from the FEYNMAN since | |||
their encounter with an alien race. The ship's last coordinates were | |||
known, and it was also known that the ship was in the midst of a very | |||
tense situtaion. | |||
The Isaahi were pretty important to the Federation right now, and they | |||
didn't want to take any chances so they were sending a functional | |||
telepath out to ease the contact situation. | |||
A D-warp shuttle was heading in the direction of the FEYNMAN and Loren | |||
had been ordered aboard it. Lately, d-warp was a mode of travel he | |||
didn't care that much about. But right now, Loren knew he had to put his | |||
personal discomfort aside because there was a ship out there that needed him. | |||
"Sir," stated the cheery Chief Petty Officer from the door to the shuttle | |||
Elseveier, "We're cleared for departure and we have your belongings stowed." | |||
Loren shook off his misgivings about d-warp and clambered into the | |||
shuttle. Apparently, the CPO accompanying him was headed to a colony | |||
a few parsecs away from the FEYNMAN's last coordinates. <nowiki>*At least, I'll | |||
have company on this one*</nowiki> contemplated Loren. | |||
["Shuttle Elseveier, you are cleared for departure"] came the | |||
announcement from station ops. | |||
"This is Chief Petty Officer Burrows. Acknowledged SB EPSILON." Burrows | |||
tapped in the departure sequence while Loren sat back. Shuttle piloting | |||
was not one of Loren's best skills. | |||
The shuttle moved silently through the docking bay doors into open space | |||
where Burrows pointed the shuttle in the right direction and engaged | |||
d-warp. As the shuttle lept into netherspace, Loren prepared himself for | |||
the unexpected.<br> | |||
<nowiki>------------------------------------------</nowiki> | |||
As the Elseveier came out of D-warp, Loren shook his head. <nowiki>*That one was | |||
just as weird as the last one*</nowiki> thought Loren. | |||
Burrows ran a check of the shuttle systems as the Elseveier came to a | |||
relative stop outside of the star system in which the FEYNMAN was | |||
located. | |||
"You alright sir," said Burrows eyeing Loren. He had never seen d-warp | |||
have that kind of effect on anyone before. <nowiki>*This guy is practically | |||
shaking*</nowiki> | |||
Suddenly, a warning bleep came from the sensor console. Loren came out | |||
of his daze as his hands moved over the controls. | |||
"It looks like there is an ship approaching. Ship recognition programs | |||
can't identify it..." | |||
"Whoever they are they're moving in really close," stated Burrows. | |||
Loren eyes seem to glaze for a moment before, "I'm raising the shields | |||
and arming weapons. See if you can contact the FEYNMAN." | |||
A warning klaxon went off a split second before the shuttle rocked from a | |||
weapons discharge from the approaching ship. | |||
Burrows began evasive manuevers while Loren returned fire as best he | |||
could. Unfortunately, the two Starfleet officers were so focused on | |||
combating the first attacking ship, they fail to notice the other come | |||
out from behind a nearby planetoid. | |||
The second ship slammed the shuttle with as much firepower as it could | |||
muster. | |||
The Elseveier ducked under the fire of the first ship while returning | |||
fire to the second hostile. Energy blasts spread across the bow of the | |||
shuttle as it desperately ducked and weaved, but it was overmatched. | |||
"Shields buckling...torpedoes and phasers down..." were the last words | |||
for Burrows as his control console exploded peppering his face with the | |||
fragments. | |||
Loren shielded himself with his arm but to no avail. The blast rendered | |||
him unconscious as well. The world went dim as the Elseveier floated | |||
adrift and Loren saw the two unidentified ships close in... | |||

NRPG: Hi all! Once again, it's a pleasure to uhmm..be aboard...kind | |||
of. Guess what. Help me! So far, I see two options. | |||
The attacking ships were Reavers out for more Federation tech.<br> | |||
1)Loren will be found when the away team from the FEYNMAN raids the | |||
Reaver base.<br> | |||
2)The Reavers didn't jam the shuttle's mayday and the FEYNMAN will break<br> | |||
Of course, someone could have something more original in mind which is | |||
fine by me. | fine by me. | ||

Z-minus 1 hour before the Issahi attack would come.<br> | |||
The choices for this mission had to be made carefully, | |||
and thus Koreth and Allard's time had been spent mainly | |||
on that. | |||
Anyone in the two departments who had high levels of | |||
combat and engineering training or experience was | |||
automaticly 'volunteered'. That consisted of 8 people... | |||
which included Dunnon, K'tal, and Majkel from engineering. | |||
<Any NPC security choices?> | |||
Tarrant, true to his nature, also made some adaptations to | |||
the Phaser Rifles which would be issued to all. A modified | |||
tricorder would be securely fastened to the top section of | |||
each rifle - thus allowing full scanning ability without putting | |||
the weapon down. Each tricorder was stripped of all general | |||
starfleet information in case it fell to enemy hands. | |||
There was one further addition the two officers wanted. | |||
An asset combat-wise and science-wise, and a powerhouse | |||
when it came to processing data. | |||
Scene: Science station 1 | |||
Lts. Koreth and Allard walked in to find the lab hard at | |||
work on the ytterbium equation... as was the CSO | |||
Lt. Meleah. | |||
"Lieutenant, " said Koreth as he approached the android, | |||
"If at all possible would you be able to join us on the | |||
away 'team' in recovering the stolen Shuttlepod?" | |||
<Answer?> | |||
MD: 7:0830<br> | |||
Scene: Tarrant's Quarters<br> | |||
Tarrant sat on the floor, legs crossed, with the lights dimmed. | |||
Before him lies his Katana, wrapped in a sheath of some | |||
crimson cloth. Each race of which he belonged had different | |||
rituals performed before oncoming battles... the Feynman officer | |||
had adapted elements of both to his own. | |||
"Grant me strength against my enemies, power to endure what | |||
is to come, honor for my deeds, the knowledge to obtain success, | |||
and forgiveness for what I may have to do." | |||
<nowiki>..................</nowiki> | |||
<NRPG><br> | |||
Just trying to set a mood.<br> | |||
Meleah would be VERY helpful on the mission, if she can get away | |||
from the lab for a little while. ;) | |||
Anything from Allard? | |||

Scene: Inside the Reaver's asteroid base<br> | |||
Loren awoke with an ache he swore was going to split his skull. Shaking | |||
his head to get rid of the grogginess caused rivulets of pain shoot all | |||
across his temples. <nowiki>*Mistake*</nowiki> he thought. | |||
Slowly his vision cleared to reveal the four walls of what appeared to be | |||
a holding cell. The walls themselves were bare as was the floor and | |||
ceiling. Loren unsteadily clambered to his feet and began surveying his new | |||
surroundings. He was halfway through running his fingers over one of the | |||
walls searching for a means of egress when he stopped. | |||
Grabbing his temples he began to concentrate, <nowiki>*What in the devil are all | |||
these clicks and whistles I'm hearing?*</nowiki> The unintelligible clicks began | |||
to dissolve into emotions as Loren concentrated harder... emotions he | |||
could immediately recognize. | |||
<nowiki>*The Federation...technology...an attack...a trap carefully laid...and | |||
the FEYNMAN*</nowiki> The thoughts came rapidly and easily to Loren, so easily | |||
that he put up a mental block because he began to lose himself to the | |||
thoughts. | |||
Loren's head began to pound again and his legs simply gave way. He curled | |||
himself into a ball on the floor and began to meditate to force away the | |||
pain and formulate a plan. | |||

MD: 7.0850<br> | |||
"Um, Lieutenant - It's time." Ens. Dunnon poked his | |||
head into the CEO's quarters, but didn't dare enter. | |||
The security vest he wore was awkward and cutting into | |||
his neck. | |||
Tarrant allowed his eyes to slowly open. Letting his mind, | |||
body, and soul awake from it's almost trance-like state. | |||
He unwrapped the Katana before him, and promptly sheathed | |||
it in an apparatus behind his back. Then went about putting | |||
on the blast vest. | |||
Dunnon watched the scene with amusement. Tarrant was | |||
tough in Engineering, but reasonable. Always busy working | |||
on something - involved. It was as if he now transfered all that | |||
energy into himself. Every movement was a fluid arc, every | |||
step, every motion. Dunnon almost missed the question when | |||
his superior spoke. | |||
"Have you completed the modifications on the rifles?" | |||
"Yes sir, the modified tricorders are attached exactly like the | |||
prototype you gave me. They're in Transporter Room 2, " | |||
replied the Terran. | |||
Tarrant nodded. | |||
The walk to the transporter room was a quiet one. The few crew | |||
who were in the corridors during the yellow alert status stepped | |||
back to give room as the two made their way. For Dunnon, the | |||
silence and stares were almost unbearable and strangely surreal. | |||
They walked in to find they were the last to arrive. | |||
"Glad to see you two finally showed up." said Allard with a bit | |||
of a grin. "Thought I might have had to command this task force | |||
all by myself." | |||
Lt. Koreth grabbed one of the rifles, "And let you play with my new toys | |||
unsupervised? I don't think so 'junior'." | |||
<NRPG: Not sure If Meleah is in.. so I'll leave that open> | |||
The partial klingon only had a few years on Allard, but the tactical | |||
officer's young face made him appear much less aged. | |||
Tarrant liked Allard ever since he had come on board. Sure, the then | |||
ensign was green.. but there was something in his eyes... And as he | |||
looked into that young face now, both forcing relaxed grins, Tarrant | |||
could tell that they both knew the possibilities of what was to come. | |||
"Sirs, " interrupted the transporter chief, "the Issahi attack has begun." | |||
Allard turned to the team, "Ok, everone up. Circle formation, weapons | |||
out. If you perseive something as a threat do not hesitate to protect | |||
yourselves." He knew that the speech wasn't necessary, but gave | |||
it anyway. | |||
One by one they took up position. Koreth and Allard facing exact | |||
opposite each other. | |||
"Try to find a place free from as much activity as you can for the | |||
transport. But, if you can look on to any familiar Federation signatures | |||
in that time.. then send us there." said Tarrant to the transporter | |||
chief. | |||
Time passed. Yet when the word came, it was remembered | |||
as but a fleeting second. | |||
<Bridge to transporter room,> It was Cmdr Maril <Beam down the landing | |||
party, and may Kazanti quench the flames of Azule.> | |||
Shimmering blue light engulfed them, then faded as fast as it came on. | |||
The passageway was barely lit. Honeycomb type patterns seemd to make | |||
up the walls and floor. Two rows, one about 1/2 a meter up and another | |||
about the same distance from the ceiling, emitted a dull yellowish light | |||
from between the lines. The 'floor' seemed grippy, like rubber or as if a | |||
light adhesive had been applied. The corridor itself extended in two | |||
directions. No doors in the conventional sense were visible. Nor | |||
was the enemy. | |||
Tarrant held up his rifle to look at the tricorder attached to it. | |||
"Picking up multiple energy readings all over, and multiple unknown | |||
lifeforms... 400 meters this direction. " | |||
"Are any Federation signatures?" asked Allard, not turning from | |||
his position. | |||
"No. I guess they weren't able to pick up a signature before beam-in." | |||
"There dosen't appear to be any interfaces here." said Dunnon as | |||
he looked at around. He slowly reached out and touched the wall. | |||
"It feels like the floor... WHOA!" he pulled his hand back as if | |||
bitten. | |||
"What is it Ensign?" | |||
"It.. 'changed' . When I pushed on it, I could feel it changing. Kinda | |||
strengthening under the force." | |||
"Make a scan of it Dunnon, but do it quick. " announced Tarrant | |||
in a final type voice, "We have a mission." | |||
"Which way, Koreth" said Allard. HE obviously didn't like the idea | |||
of staying in a hallway all day. | |||
"I'm reading power fluxuations and some light firepower in your direction. | |||
Probably where the Issahi have started the ground attack." | |||
Allard nodded, "Which means that the Shuttle pod would probably be | |||
in a more secure section." It sounded good, but they knew that either | |||
way they were just shooting in the dark. Splitting up would have been | |||
the quickest way, but in this type of combat situation there was | |||
required safety in numbers. "Then we head that way." | |||
The corridor continued, which lead to a few intersections. Each time they | |||
chose the direction closest to the strange power signatures. Again | |||
no doorways seemed evident, but Tarrant saw on the tricorder evidence | |||
that pockets of space existed behind them. | |||
Allard kept track of the bio-readings... which started bothering him | |||
quite a bit. "Hold up here." | |||
"What is it?" | |||
"Something strange is going on. " said the SEC officer who continued to | |||
explain, "Three times now I've picked up bio readings, of at least 6 | |||
separate creatures in each group, and each time we've gotten within | |||
50 meters they suddenly veer off... away from our location." | |||
"Avoiding confrontation on your own base during a raid? Some | |||
thing is not right." announced Koreth. | |||

Ok, here we go. | |||
Wanted to allow some play off of the trap part set by | |||
our new officer in his last post so..... | |||
BTW: PLEASE! Don't send Krysa in with a shuttle craft to save us. | |||
All we need is two downed shuttles to search for. | |||
(Sorry, couldn't resist... everyone else gets to have fun) | |||

Scene: Holding Cell on Reaver's Base<br> | |||
It didn't take long for Loren to achieve the proper mind state to block | |||
the pain he was feeling. Sitting up he remembered that his body was | |||
still damaged but his mind was no longer registering the pain. He | |||
couldn't keep it that way for long, but maybe long enough to escape. | |||
Running his hands once again over the seemingly featureless walls he | |||
could feel them getting stronger in response to his applied force. On | |||
top of that the floor seemed like it was gripping his feet. <nowiki>*This is | |||
useless*</nowiki> he thought angrily as he kicked the wall he faced. | |||
What happened next totally surprised him. His foot went through the wall | |||
along with his leg and then the rest of his body. Jumping to his feet on | |||
the other side Loren glanced around quickly to confirm what his Betazoid | |||
senses had already told him...he was alone. Looking back at the wall he | |||
tried to tentatively put his hand back through the wall but it was just | |||
as hard as ever. | |||
He then envisioned himself fighting someone, beating them, and put his | |||
hand back up to the wall. It passed right through as if the wall were | |||
made of water. Loren drew upon other emotions as he repeated the test. | |||
<nowiki>*Amazing, certain emotions namely anger, allowed one to pass through the | |||
walls or doors or whatever they are here*</nowiki> Loren realized. | |||
With his newfound knowledge Loren made his way towards an open corridor | |||
with the one intention of finding a way out. | |||
After making it a few meters down the corridor, Loren stopped. <nowiki>*Bad guys | |||
ahead*.</nowiki> He eased himself into their thoughts for a brief moment and drew | |||
his mind back abruptly. He couldn't see them around the corner but he | |||
sensed six of them and they were anxious. Once again Loren made out the | |||
ideas of a trap but it wasn't directed at anything or anyone nearby. The | |||
idea seemed to concern something bigger and farther away. | |||
Then it hit him. The FEYNMAN was headed for a trap. The thoughts | |||
came fast and furious. <nowiki>*The base was expendable...first lead the Isaahi | |||
fleet into the asteroid field, destroy them while the FEYNMAN attempts to | |||
leave the area. While the Isaahi are occupied with the base, an ambush | |||
of a large number of our ships will capture the FEYNMAN...They're going | |||
to try to capture the ship. No time for this, I gotta go*</nowiki> | |||
Loren spun around to come face to face with hooded creature about 2 | |||
meters tall shuffling even closer to him. <nowiki>*Damn, too preoccupied to | |||
sense this one coming up on me*</nowiki> The thing reached out to grab Loren who | |||
grabbed the thing's left appendage, twisted it to the right, and | |||
using the momentum generated threw the thing to the floor. | |||
Bounding over the fallen creature, Loren ran for all he was worth. | |||

the trap thing a bit more. | |||

SCENE: Bridge<br> | |||
Maril monitored the battle closely, watching for any strange occurrences. | |||
Nothing so far. | |||
Unfortunately, the Issahi were losing despite their superior numbers. The | |||
Reavers were taking advantage of their better firepower and the Issahi lack of | |||
maneuverability. A good quarter of the Issahi attack fleet had been destroyed, as | |||
opposed to less than an eighth of the Reavers. | |||
But, then, as it looked like the Reavers would force the Issahi back, different | |||
Issahi ships started to enter the battle. These were about the same length and | |||
thickness as the others, but much wider. And when the Reavers fired their | |||
weapons, it took about twelve high-power shots to bring these strange ships' | |||
shields down even 25%. | |||
Suddenly, it hit Maril as suddenly as the lightning hit Regampha. He recalled | |||
the data from Lt. Meleah's experiments with the dilithium sword. The energy | |||
readouts were very similar. So it was dilithium the Issahi were using! | |||
"The attack of the valmbirds at Cidema," he whispered under his breath. | |||
He looked up to see what was happening around the Bridge. Seemingly, all | |||
was quiet. Very few Reavers had attacked since the Feynman had beamed down | |||
the away team. Perhaps they were too focused on the Issahi attack. | |||
"Reaver ship at bearing 212, mark 308," Jerran reported calmly. Maril had | |||
thought too soon. | |||
"Red alert," Maril ordered quickly. | |||
"Hold your fire, Tactical," Zane said slowly. "Let them fire first. Mr. Jerran, | |||
bring us about to face the Reaver ship, but keep us within communications range | |||
of the away team." | |||
"Aye, sir, but two more ships have just appeared at bearings 257, mark 7 and | |||
104, mark 76." | |||
"All three ships are firing weapons, sir," the tactical officer reported with some | |||
worry. | |||
The ship rocked violently, almost throwing Maril out of his chair. "Damage | |||
report," he said sternly as he attempted to regain his bearings. | |||
"Shields down to 37%. Damage to decks 14-16 of the Engineering section." | |||
"Get some repair teams down there," Maril ordered. | |||
"You may open fire, Tactical," the Captain gave the command. | |||
"Aye, sir." | |||
The ship shuddered again. "Report." | |||
"The ship in front of us has been destroyed. Our shields went down for 4 | |||
seconds, but they are now back up to 10%. Damage to the starboard nacelle | |||
pylon." | |||
"Continue firing," Zane ordered. | |||
Jenn suddenly spoke up. "Sir, somehow a small probe got close to us when | |||
our shields were down for 4 seconds. It is creating a magnetic field." Then she | |||
held her breath for a second. "Sir, the probe's magnetic field is disrupting our | |||
anti-matter containment field. If our containment field fails-" | |||
"We won't be here to fight the Reavers at all," Zane finished the sentence. | |||
"The Jacolian tunnelers attacking from below," Maril whispered. | |||
Zane shivered for a second, but quickly gained control. "Can we destroy it?" | |||
"Not by conventional means," Jenn answered. "The probe is much too close | |||
to the ship. An explosion would cause a major hull breach." | |||
"Can we get a tractor beam on it?" Maril asked, worried. | |||
"Possibly. The probe is very small. We may grab a lot of empty space | |||
instead of the probe." | |||
"I think that's a chance we have to take," Zane said, seemingly calm. | |||
"Tactical, get a tractor beam lock on it. When you have it, swing the tractor | |||
beam outwards and let go at the end of the arc." | |||
"Aye, sir, I have a lock on it, engaging tractor beam, missed it," the tactical | |||
officer reported. "Got another lock, engaging tractor beam, got it this time. | |||
Swinging the tractor beam to the port, disengaging tractor beam...now! The | |||
probe is continuing on its path outwards." | |||
"Good job, everyone," Zane said with some relief. "Are there any Reaver | |||
ships still attacking us?" | |||
"One, sir. The other one has gone to the main battle." | |||
"Status of shields?" Maril asked. | |||
"They're up to 24%. The Reaver ship is firing again." | |||
"Return fire!" Zane ordered as the ship shook. | |||
