Arcadia Station Mission # 357

Nick:
Previously on Arcadia: A black hole opened up next to Arcadia station when an experimental power module that was causing time dialation was beamed out into space to stop the time dialation. When the crew boarded the U.S.S. IO and attempted to close the black hole they were sucked in, just as they attempted to close it.
 
Nick:
It was a rough ride causing tons of damage to the IO, not the least of which was the loss of the port warp nacelle, burn-out of the main deflector dish, multiple hull breaches, destruction of the dilithium crystals, and almost complete depletion of the antimater storage
 
Nick:
They were rocketed out into space, helpless and completely lost, as none of the star patterns appear in the least bit familiar, indicating that the IO is in a galaxy so far away that the position of the ship cannot be extrapolated from star patterns.
 
Nick:
They have met an alien race known as the Jatravartids and after a while have been able to convince them that the black hole that opened up in their space was not an act of war but an accident.
 
Nick:
Together with the Jatravartids the dilithium crystals have been replaced, antimatter storage replenished, and while the bulk of the damage couldn't be repaired in the limited time available, enough repairs have been made, focusing on the deflector dish, shields, aft torpedo launchers, structural integrity, and inertial dampers
 
Nick:
The IO is flanked on either side by 2 of the finest Jatravartids warships which will be using their deflectors and weapons to help collapse the black hole in this galaxy, though they will stay a safe enough distance that only the IO will be sucked in

Nick:
Once inside the black hole the IO will drop several modified torpedoes from the aft torpedo launchers like mines, modified to emit a chroniton wave, the idea being to seal the black hole from the inside so that when they emerge in our galaxy the black hole that is reopened will be closed behind them, sealing both black holes forever.

XO Archen:
::on the Bridge of the IO mildly impressed that a few of the lights are actually on::
 
CMO Burton:
::Standing next to the XO:: XO: What do you think are chances are sir?
 
XO Archen:
CMO: It looks good, because if it's not I suppose we'll not know much of a difference.
 
TO MJDoole:
::at Operations, looking over new arm, truly impressed with their technology that literally gave him a brand-new real arm once again::
 
CNS Rose:
::on the bridge::

CMO Burton:
XO: Optimist, are you? ::Trying to smile::
 
XO Archen:
TO: Bring the main deflector, and warp drive online.
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Indeed, it helps me at least .
 
XO Archen:
CNS: Give us a sensor sweep of the singularity. I need a conditional report.
 
TO MJDoole:
::brings the deflector dish online:: XO: Might I remind you Commander, we don't have warp drive yet.
 
CNS Rose:
XO: yes sir
 
XO Archen:
TO: We're not going to warp but I still need the core online so we can redirect the flow to structural integrity Lieutenant.
 
CNS Rose:
::scans the Singularity::
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Well that's a Ion Engine of a different color. ::brings the Warp Core online::
 
XO Archen:
CMO: I'm surprised the Captain is not up yet, what is the Captain's status Doctor?
 
Peqresi:
COMM: IO: Peqresi to Commander Archen, my ships are ready, and all remaining Jatravartids officers have evacuated the IO to my ship.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: I had to keep her sedated in order to try and hasten her recovery. I am hoping to have her up and about after we return home.
 
XO Archen:
COM: Peqresi: Understood, ready in a moment stand by.
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Understood, I'm sure you know best.
 
XO Archen:
ALL: Are we ready? all stations, ready report.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: That is on the condition that you can get us there of course. Of course I have complete faith in you sir.
 
CMO Burton:
::Takes a seat at flight control::
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Ready sir.
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Let's get this party started.
 
XO Archen:
TO: Red Alert, Shields and Structural Integrity field to maximum.
 
CNS Rose:
XO: My readings indicate the singularity is almost exactly the same size and intensity of the one that started us on this hay ride
 
XO Archen:
::takes a seat in the center chair and taps the COM on his right side arm rest:: COM: Peqresi: this is Commander Archen, we are a go.
 
TO MJDoole:
::sets Red Alert, raises Shields and Structural Integrity Field to maximum.
 
Peqresi:
COM: XO: I shall miss you and your crew Commander, it has been good getting to know you and I wish you good luck on this dangerous journey.
 
Peqresi:
COM: XO: I hope we will get the opportunity to meet again.
 
XO Archen:
CNS: Assessment, should we have the Jatravartids, hit the singularity with a tachyon burst before we proceed?
 
XO Archen:
COM: Peqresi: Thank you for Your Hospitality, and I wont forget about your package sir.
 
CNS Rose:
XO: yes sir they shouldn't wait to much longer.
 
XO Archen:
COM: Peqresi: we fired a tacyon beam into the event horizon as we passed through it it could be suggested you did the same so we repat things as much as possible.
 
CMO Burton:
::Prepares the console with the required information::
 
XO Archen:
CNS: Take us in One Quarter Impulse
 
Peqresi:
COM: XO: Acknowledged, our emitters are ready on your command.
 
XO Archen:
*ALL HANDS*: Brace for Impact!
 
XO Archen:
CNS: Cut power to engines and let us ride it in at 2000km marker.
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The gravity well causes the IO to accelerate towards the black hole
 
TO MJDoole:
All: Here we go. Hold onto your butts!
 
CMO Burton:
::Braces himself in his seat::
 
Peqresi:
COM: XO: Commander, is something wrong, you are heading into the black hole, we haven't even started closing it yet
 
CNS Rose:
::holds on to what ever she can::
 
XO Archen:
CNS: We are starting to shake out of control if we don’t hit this dead on ... pardon the pun .. well you get it. Full forward station thrusters it will slow our approach and give us control.
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The 2 Jatravartids ships fire chroniton and tachyon beams at the outer rim of the event horizon
 
XO Archen:
TO: Fire our Deflector with what power you have.
 
TO MJDoole:
::fires Deflector:: XO: Firing.
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The chroniton beam emits from the main deflector and hits the center of the black hole's event horizon dead on, the Event Horizon starts to change color, glowing navy blue
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Doctor, feed telemetry to the CNS use the thrusters to keep us as steady as you can please.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Aye sir. ::Feeds the telemetry::
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The black hole is still strong and the thrusters aren't enough to keep the ship from being sucked in. The strain works against the thrusters and the ship moves towards the event horizon again
 
XO Archen:
::tries to squint into the event horizon wondering if he can see the difference as to whether it looks like a black hole or maybe if its a wormhole yet::
 
XO Archen:
TO: Arm the aft launchers with our NEW special delivery. Do it now you wont have time if we make it through this.
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Perhaps tractor beams from the other ships could hold us sir.
 
TO MJDoole:
::arms aft launchers::
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Excellent Idea thank you!, Transmit the request please.
 
CMO Burton:
COM: Peqresi: If you could use all avail tractor beams to hold us in place it might be very useful. It might buy us some time.
 
Peqresi:
COM: Burton: Excellent idea Doctor.
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Awaiting your command to fire.
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: Tractor beams come from both of the Jatravartids ships helping to slow the pull on the IO, they help keep it back, holding the ship steady.
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The color of the black hole changes from the constant bombardment of chroniton beams, to a lighter blue, still a black hole, but it is working.
 
XO Archen:
TO: What the aft launchers? that is for when we get into the corridor itself.. You don’t have to wait for my order when we pass through the event horizon, fire the pre set program off before we can get torn apart.
 
XO Archen:
CNS: Sensor readings?
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The event horizon is now a violent purple
 
TO MJDoole:
::sets the aft launchers to fire to deliver the "packages" the moment they pass through the event horizon::
 
CNS Rose:
XO: its shrinking sir but its still strong
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The Event horizon changes color again, to green
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Would you say its forming a wormhole we can pass through?
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Not yet sir. We need more time.

Peqresi:
ACTION: Suddenly, and without warning, feedback pulses go through the chroniton beams from the Event Horizon to the Jatravartids ships, one of them is destroyed instantly, the other severely damaged, the tractor beams disengage and the IO hurtles towards the Event Horizon
 
Peqresi:
COM: IO: NOoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::communication ends as the IO is sucked inside the event horizon of the black hole, sparks fly from consoles, inertial dampers go offline
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The last thing on sensors shows a massive explosion behind them, the crew can only assume that Peqresi's ship was destroyed
 
XO Archen:
TO: Max thrusters straiten us Up NOW! Dump the rest of what you have into the shields!
 
CNS Rose:
::gets burned badly from the sparks::
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The ship shakes violently inside the black hole

XO Archen:
TO: Fire full spread to aft! ::he yells::
 
TO MJDoole:
::does as the XO asks:: ::fires Torpedoes::
 
TO MJDoole:
XO: Torpedoes have been launched!
 
XO Archen:
::his fingers go white as he grips tightly to the chair:: Self: I need a damn seat belt:

Peqresi:
ACTION: a few seconds go by as was programmed into the torpedoes, and then they explode, a mass of blue light can be seen from anybody looking out a rear window (though not any view screens as they are all offline) a Massive Shockwave starts chasing the IO through the Black Hole

CMO Burton:
::Tries to steady himself::
 
Peqresi:
<edit for clarification, the viewscreens are all out, not the crew all dead, thought that was clear, but just incase, no you aren't dead yet>
 
XO Archen:
TO: Re-enforce aft shields.
 
TO MJDoole:
::re-enforcing aft shields::
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The Shockwave rapidly approaches the IO, the shields are reinforced just as the shockwave hits, it pushes the IO faster, the IO is now going warp 9 through the black hole
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Hitting warp nine sir.
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The aft shields act like a surf board, allowing the ship to surf through the black hole, suddenly the IO is jettisoned out the other side,
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: Arcadia Station can be seen through the force field covered hole in the front of the bridge, consoles come back online and sensors show that the black hole that had re-opened is collapsing from the inside, but it's collapsing much too fast, it looks like it is going to explode.
 
CMO Burton:
::Closes his eyes as they pass through::
 
CMO Burton:
XO: Did the other ship make it through?
 
XO Archen:
CNS: Peddle to the Medal Counselor!
 
CNS Rose:
::fights through the pain from the burns:: XO:yes sir
 
XO Archen:
CNS: Come on get us the hell out of here ..
 
XO Archen:
CMO: Sorry ? ::a bit dazed:: What other ship?
 
XO Archen:
COM: Arcadia: We need protection now! Raise shields!!!
 
CMO Burton:
XO: The Jatravartids ship sir. The one drawn into the anomaly.
 
CNS Rose:
::lays in a course maximum impulse::
 
XO Archen:
COM: Arcadia: this is Commander Archen in Command, you are ordered to divert all primary power to the shields and structural integrity facing the singularity. CNS: get us in close to the station so she covers us fast.
 
XO Archen:
CMO: I'm afraid I don't know, not much we can do about it now.

@<OPS_Walters> COM: Aye Commander. ::performs the complex orders::
 
Peqresi:
ACTION: The Singularity Collapses and when it does it explodes in Green Light, a massive shockwave even more powerful then the one that was inside the singularity emerges, it hits the shields of both the IO and Arcadia and starts to push, both the station and the IO are accelerated to warp 9.999 as they surf the wave

Peqresi:
ACTION: The Station and the IO are hurtled hundreds of lightyears in a spanse of a few moments, explosions going off on all decks of both as they are pushed in the seemingly never ending shockwave...
