There is also a Federation Allen-Class Tactical Exploration Cruiser in orbit, having arrived minutes earlier.
Matthew Neilson, bridge. Matt is staring at the viewscreen grimly again.* Matt: Report. John: The U.S.S. Galileo and the Orbital Station have both been destroyed. There is no foreign debris. Sir, there's no sign of the Starbase on the planet. Matt: John... there were over 3000 people manning that base, and over 3 billion colonists on the planet. John: Sensors show no life signs. Matt: John, there are 3 Billion people down there. John: Yes sir... all dead... *Matt looks at Will, who has a look of horror on his face.* The U.S.S. Titan is in orbit with us sir. Matt: Hail them. Ops: Channel open. *Matt looks back at the screen, seeing a Starfleet Captain looking in horror back at him.* Matt: Titan, this is Matthew Neilson. What can you tell us? Titan Captain: This is Captain Daniel Forge of the U.S.S. Titan. Unfortunately we know very little, Captain. We got here just before you did. We heard your disaster call and were on our way here to respond, but... Matt: Did you see anything? Daniel Forge: Negative. The attack was long over by the time we arrived. Matt: Captain, how many survivors can you take? Daniel Forge: Survivors? How many do you need us to take? Matt: We rescued 78 people from an Imperial Prison planet. They need transfer to Delta Auricon. Keep them in Quarantine. They've been infected by a nanite virus. Daniel Forge: Understood. Standing by for transfer. Matt: Delta Auricon is already expecting them, I'll notify them that you'll be carrying them for the final leg of the trip. Daniel Forge: Copy that. *After a few minutes, all the survivors are beamed aboard the U.S.S. Titan, save Hawk.* Captain, we're showing only 77 survivors have transferred. Is something wrong? Matt: The last survivor is in critical condition, and cannot be moved. Daniel Forge: Understood. We'll proceed to Delta Auricon immediately. Titan out. *The Titan enters Slipstream.* Ops: Sir, message coming in from Admiral Ramez. Republic Command and the other Rebel Leaders have given you command authority in this sector. Matt: Thank you lieutenant. John, use the data from this attack and Starbase 589 to plot a course and estimate where the next attack will take place. John: Aye sir. Alright, assuming they're following a straight line, their next target will likely be Starbase 592, but if they're travelling from base to base their next target will be Outpost Lima 9. Matt: Notify all ships in the sector to converge on those stations. Inform the Normandy to meet us at Lima 9. Ops: Aye sir. Do I tell them about the survivor transfer? Matt: Yes, but inform them that I've been given command of all vessels in the sector, and that that includes them. Ops: Yes sir. Matt: Helm, set course for Lima 9, maximum warp. Helm: Course laid in. Matt: Engage. *The Matthew Neilson jumps to warp.* Ops, make contact with Lima 9. Ops: I already have sir. They're at Red Alert and preparing for an attack. Matt: And Starbase 592? Ops: Situation is the same - they're preparing for an attack. Matt: Very well. Maintain Red Alert. |
Ops: Sir, I'm receiving a distress call from Lima 9!
Matt: What base is closest to Lima 9 along this course?!
Ops: Starbase 592!
Matt: Redirect all ships to Starbase 592!
Will: Sir, what about the Outpost?
Matt: There's nothing we can do Will.
Put them on speakers.
Voice *panicked*: This is Outpost Lima 9 to any ship in this sector! We are under attack, needing immediate assistance!
Matt: Put me on with him!
Lima 9, this is Captain Matthew Forrester aboard the R.S.S. Matthew Neilson! We are en route! What is your situation?!
Voice *panicked*: They're on the station! They're tearing everything apart! They're all over the place!
Please HELP US!
Matt: Lima 9, who is attacking you? Is it the Iconians or the Borg?
Voice *panicked*: Oh my god! They're in Ops! Mike!
*A scream is heard in the background as is metallic clanking, whirring, and phaser fire.*
Oh god! They killed Mike! They're tearing him apart!
Matt: Lima 9, who is attacking you?!
LIMA 9!
Voice *panicked*: I'm setting the auto-destruct sequence! Do NOT approach the station! Save yourselves!
Computer *over comm channel*: Auto-destruct in 10 seconds.
Matt: LIMA 9! LIMA 9, WHO IS ATTACKING YOU?!
*The clanking gets louder until a scream fills the comm and the channel goes dead.*
LIMA 9?! LIMA 9, DO YOU STILL READ?!
Ops: They're gone.
*Matt looks down, closing his eyes.*
Matt: There were 500 people on that base.
*He looks at Will.*
500.
Will: Sir, what are our orders?
Matt: Change course for Starbase 592. Maximum Warp.
Helm: That's going to push the engines, sir.
Matt: What about Fold-drive?
Helm: It's back online.
Matt: Starbase 592 is 1 day away anyway. Engage fold-jump.
*The Matthew Neilson fold-jumps to Starbase 592, where 12 Rebel ships have already arrived, and dozens more are converging. However, most are more than a day away, and won't arrive in time.*
Make it clear to our friends out there that we're here to find out who's responsible for the attacks and assist in the evacuation of as many people from the Starbase as possible.
Ops: Aye sir.
Matt: Starbase 592, this is Captain Matthew Forrester Begin evacuating non-essential personnel immediately.
Starbase Commander *over comm*: With all due respect Captain, there are over 4000 people here, half of whom are civilians.
Matt: Commander, I just heard the last man on Outpost Lima 9 scream as our unknown adversary tore him apart. Prior to that, our assailant destroyed 2 Starbases like they were nothing, including their garrison fleets. I can assure you, defending your base is not a possibility. We need to focus on getting out as many personnel as we can, understood?
Starbase Commander *over comm*: Yes... yes sir. Beginning Evacuation now. Sir, what's the death toll so far?
*Matt looks at Will.*
Matt: Over 3 Billion. Whoever did this obliterated all the colonists at Starbase 591.
Starbase Commander *over comm*: Understood...
*DS K-7. Sam is still waiting for the Imperial negotiator(s). She is unaware of the events with the R.S.S. Matthew Neilson.*
Sam: C'mon... hurry up!
*OOC: Now going offline for AT LEAST 12 hours, so keep it light.*

*Gyunei and Emil are tracking a couple ships as they only had tracking on some.. * Emil: Hmm. It appears they are aware of me, but not my identity.. *Feels around the vessels being tracked his eyes metallic in color...* There... *Points to 1 at 503.56* and there.... *Points to 124.009* We should go after them..

None the less we should catch them.. *The vessels jump to Warp and begin pursuit as the other ships surround them.. * *Preston arrives at the station under guard of Kela and D'rix is there as well..* Preston: I hope your not to peeved that I am late.. I had to deal with a rogue senator. Don't worry he is being held for trial for crimes against life, negligence, and capitol murder. |
*Vala, Ramez, a Klingon General, and an Orion appear.*
Well, you wanted to negotiate with the rebel leaders? This is as close as you'll get.
Vala: Shall we get started?
*Sam walks into the tailor, closing the door behind her. She looks in the mirror, seeing her normal reflection. After letting out a sigh of relief, she taps her combadge.*
Sam: Allington to Rio Grande, status report.
Computer *Over comm*: Priority 1 Disaster Code activated in Sector 371.
Sam: Explain.
Computer *Over comm*: A serious of attacks on Allied Starbases and Outposts in this sector led Rebel Leaders and Republic Command to give Sector Command to Captain Matthew Forrester.
Sam: Who attacked the Starbases?
Computer *Over comm*: Unknown. Starbase 592 is expecting imminent attack. 23 Rebel Starships, including the R.S.S. Matthew Neilson, have gathered to defend the base until the situation becomes untenable.
Sam: Understood. What about the movement of Rebel Leaders?
Computer *Over comm*: Going as planned.
*OOC: You can kill the Orion and the Klingon.*

Ops: Evacuation is 31% complete.
Matt: See if they can hurry it up.
Ops: They'll give the same answer they did 30 minutes ago, sir.
Matt: Well tell them anyway.
Sensors, report.
John: Nothing yet. With any luck, we've got another few hours before they get here.
Will: Who's "they"?
Matt: An excellent question. "They" are whomever has been attacking our bases.
Will: And we don't know who "they" are.
Ops: Well, you can ask them when they get here, can't you?
...With all due respect, sir.

Ensign Gai please send all data from the. Last attacks to my padd. I want to review them before we go into this. Sarah sits in her ready room. And walks over the replicator. Sarah : coffee dark Sarah takes the coffee and sits at her desk. And starts going over what little info the sensors have and reading Jacobs own theories. Soon her door chimes. Sarah: enter Jacob walks in Jacob: Sarah so what do you really think our chances are of doing anything against this when its already taken out 3 bases and there escorts. I'm assuming someone has a plan. Sarah: to be honest I don't know Jacob but I know we will find away. Got anything New for me. Jacob: well I increased the ships all overall power by 30% after I upgraded the weapons and shields. So we are about on par with every ship out there now. The phasers now work with the sensors to detect the enemies likely shield frequency and change the phasers modulation as they fire. Sarah: wonderful and any new thearies on what we are up against Jacob: honestly the more I look at the data the more confusing.it gets. There just is something not right about this at all. |
Matt: Status.
Ops: Evacuation is at 58%.
Will: We're not going to be able to get everyone off.
Matt: Tell the Normandy to form up with the rest of the fleet.
Ops, where's the next closest base?
Ops: Deep Space 24.
Matt: Redirect any ships more than 30 minutes out to Deep Space 24.
Ops: Understood.
John: Sir, unknown vessel now coming on Long Range Sensors, approaching at Warp 18.
Matt: Onscreen.
*The Viewscreen displays a massive Cylindrical Vessel approaching at Hyper-Warp speeds.*
Will: What the hell is that thing?
Matt: John, can you get any data at this range?
John: I'm reading 2 sets of Subspace Comm links coming from it. One is very similar to Republic Transponder codes, the other looks Borg.
Matt: Shut down the transwarp coil. Tell everyone else to do the same.
Ops: Done.
Matt: If that's a Borg ship, I'm not risking them hijacking our computers with the Coils.
Will: Agreed.
Matt: Get ready to engage.
All ships, stand by to engage the enemy.
John: They're now slowing to impulse power. They'll be in weapons range in 5 minutes.
Matt: Hail them.
Ops: Sir, they're hailing US!
*The screen shows a figure in the shadows. The Background shows a silver wall with humanoid figures working on consoles. Some are Borg consoles, others are similar to Republic consoles. There are Synthesiser Drones scurrying across the Bridge.*
Figure: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. Your culture will be punished for its crimes. You will escort us to Sector 001.
Matt: Since when did the Borg care about a culture's "crimes"?
*The figure (DeSalle) steps out of the shadows.*
DeSalle.
You wanting to attack Earth I can understand. Why attack the Republic?
Voice: Because we share similar goals.
Matt: Oh my God.
*Sam 2 steps out next to her.*
Sam 2: Surprised, Matt?
Matt: The Iconian weapon signatures. I should have known.
Sam 2: Your threat to my people will end with the Borg's destruction of Earth, and my destruction of every last Republic-controlled planet in the Galaxy.
DeSalle: Surrender Captain, before you throw your lives away.
Matt: If your friend over there told you anything about me, then you know that I will not comply.
DeSalle: You must comply. Resistance is, and always has been... futile.
Matt: Screen off.
*The Viewscreen deactivates.*
All ships, prepare to attack.
John: Weapons range in 3 minutes.

Comm.: channel open Sarah: matt what is your plan. We aren't going to be able to take them on in a long drawn out battle. If we want to win we will have to hit them fast. |
John: They're in weapons range!
Matt: All ships, open fire!
*The Fleet opens fire, precipitating a light show of white, yellow, green and orange energy beams and blasts. The Matthew Neilson's multi-frequencial phasers and Zero-point cannons begin tearing into the Cylinder's shields, but the Multi-Frequencial Phasers can't pin down the shield nutation.*
Report!
Ops: All ships are firing! The enemy has yet to return fire!
No discernible effect!
Matt: How much damage are our ZPCs dealing?
John: More than our phasers!
Matt: Switch to Zero-Point beams!
Weapons: I'll need a minute to swap the emitters.
*The Neilson's phasers stop firing as the beam array crews swap out the Phaser Emitters for Zero-Point Emitters. After a minute, the Neilson's beam arrays start firing again, this time with Zero-Point beams.
Aboard the Cylinder.*
Sam 2: They're trying to delay us. They'll stop at nothing to allow the Station time to evacuate.
DeSalle: Perhaps, but Iconian or not, your shields are still beginning to suffer from the Zero-Point Energy Weapons.
Sam 2: Then you will adapt.
DeSalle: We just did.
*Matthew Neilson.*
John: Damn it! The Borg just adapted to our weapons frequencies!
Matt: All ships, rotate weapon frequencies! Keep them changing, don't give the Borg a chance to adapt!
U.S.S. Normandy, U.S.S. Valiant, form up on our wing!
*The Valiant-Class U.S.S. Valiant forms up off the Neilson's Starboard Nacelle as the Neilson begins heading on an attack run toward the Cylinder.*
OOC: If you wouldn't mind, could you just bring the Normandy to a position just off the Neilson's Port Nacelle?
