Star Trek: Ascendant - Shakedown Cruise IC

[knightemplar]

As Jonas moves through the small bridge, he will notice that the majority of the consoles are running on emergency power. There is one gorn slumped over what he thinks is a communications console, probably the one that sent the last distress call.

"Why sshould you care human, for all we know it wasss you federation'sss revenge for the Dissscovery.", says Slas'sarn in a very rough version of federation standard.

S'slee moves over to the body slumped over the communications console. As he turns over the body, he lets out a mighty growl and then starts talking in very quick version of the gorn language. His hands move in almost a ritualistic pattern over the body. As S'slee's displeasure is known, his aides start copying the patterns with their own hands.

Ensign Kirk moves over towards Lt. Commander Hale. "He knew him is about the most I got over that. He was speaking way too fast for me to keep up with him."

"Lt. Commander Hale, this is the Ascendant. We have two vessels moving towards us with weapons charged. Commodore Rardon has ordered battlestations. I am sorry, but the away team is on its own until this is resolved.", comes across Jonas' commbadge, as he quickly recognizes D'Vassa's voice.

 

[Rhun]

OOC: Who is the engineer on the Away team?

 

[knightemplar]

OOC: Lt. j.g. Singh, specialty is sensors but he was the next on the rotation list.

 

[Rhun]

"Lieutenant Singh, can you get power back online and get the shields up? Or at least get maneuvering thrusters back online. If we have hostiles inbound, I don't want to be a sitting duck."

 

[knightemplar]

"Honestly, sir. I would have to go to engineering for that.", he says calmly to Jonas," Even then, I am not sure I can. This ship is heavily damaged and leaking plasma. If I turn things back on, we might start getting radioactive spikes from damaged equipment. I won't know the true damage until I can get to engineering."

 

[Rhun]

The news wasn't what Hale wanted to hear. "Alright, get to engineering and get me a sitrep. And just remember that if this ship takes much more damage, we won't be making it back to the Ascendant. Srroski, escort him down..."


OOC: So is [MENTION=27761]Blackrat[/MENTION] gone too?

 

[knightemplar]

Lt. Singh starts heading through the door to the engineering room. Lt. Srosski motions for two of the security officers from the escort squad to follow him.

That leaves Lt. Commander Hale, Dr. Crescent, Ambassador S'slee, his two aides, and three more security officers from the escort squad.

"Hale, transport signals detected, you have borders!', comes D'Vassa's excited voice over his combadge.

A few seconds later, the light blue energy fields spawns on the bridge, and leaves five Gorn warriors looking towards the Star Fleet Officers.

OOC: I think he is just really busy, but haven't seen him lately.

 

[Rhun]

Hale moves to take cover behind a nearby console, pointing his phaser toward one of the Gorn warriors. "Identify yourself," he calls.

 

[knightemplar]

The Gorn boarding party look at you and just snarl. They are pulling out their own disruptors and these knives that look like they could cause some very painful wounds.

Ambassador S'Lee shouts at them in the gorn language consisting of numerous grunts and growls. The head of the boarding party replies back in the same language as he throws his knife at the ambassador. The knife hits squarely in his stomach area, as he takes two steps back and falls to the floor.

"Here they come!", yells Ensign Kirk as she pulls out her phaser.


OOC: Hale can go first. Dr. Crescent is rushing to the Ambassador. Ensign Kirk is pulling her phaser along with the rest of the security troops. The ambassador's two aides are pulling their knives, and rushing them as they were not allowed to carry disruptors.

 

[Rhun]

Hale fires his phaser at the closest of the Gorn, hoping that they can take down the enemy troops without being forced into hand to hand combat.


OOC: This is where I get back into unfamiliar territory again...I know we went through a basic combat a while back. What do I roll to attack?
