Summary:  
Nothing is ever quite as one plans, which for the Nighthawk is a lucky thing as one unexpected event after another keeps them on their path to take over the station.  
An incoming warship that is without engines becomes the stations priority.  An explosion near Earth catches everyone’s attention in the vicinity.  And Knight’s plan to distract the station and then destroy it between the Nighthawk and the sensor array succeeds.  But not without a price as the transporter beams him back just as the shuttle explodes, leaving Knight with many burns.
With the station’s command codes entered, the Nighthawk shuts down the stations life support and opens all the airlocks.  As the atmosphere decompresses inside, all that is near those entries are dragged out into the death of space.  During this mayhem, Jackson manages to beam his team onto the stations command center.
Has all this been luck or destiny?  And if luck, whose are they riding upon and for how long will it last?

Time Lapse:
    5 Minutes

Mission Facts:
•	That warship is not disabled and can take the Nighthawk on one handed and blind.  You do not have any command codes for it.
•	None of the ships around the station left before mayhem struck.  And it is a good bet that at least one that left shortly after mission started could be back.
•	The station will have sent out an SOS; if nothing else a simple automated one.

Announcements:
•	The Mirror Finalé will be on Sunday, May 4th, during the Andromeda/Elara mission times.
•	Please, it would be nice to leave the NH all in order and her story complete.  If you owe logs, please get them in.
•	Jim is on LOA for the next mission
•	April 26th/27th mission will be cancelled due to birthdays, work and LOA.

Last week on the Nighthawk:
 
The Nighthawk was coasting through the sector unhindered by the Alliance patrols 'looking elsewhere', thanks to some contact of the captain.  Just before they come to a stop, just outside of the stations sensors, they work out a plan… a suicide one at best.
 
Using the Klingon shuttle they had stolen when escaping from the prison world, Knight will take the modified shuttle in as a decoy.  It is rigged to explode, with the intent the explosion will occur near the stations main sensor array.  The Nighthawk will beam Knight off before he dies while at the same time, beam teams over to the docked Klingon vessels.
 
Tulpin desires life over a homeworld and makes plans should Monroe's idea not succeed.  Why does Knight put his life on the line?  He will do anything for Rose and Aidan and Veresh wants a part of that friendship.  He will do what he can to help Knight return alive.  While Monroe's ambitions are obvious Jackson's thoughts remain unclear to his purpose for being on this mission.

Station data:  There had been 16 ships in the shipping yard in various stages of repair.  Two of the ships were ready for flight.  One, its compliment aboard has taken off towards Sol while the other is also ready for deport, their crew is not fully aboard.  Three of the vessels are functional enough to defend the station should they have crew. One of those vessels is swarming with repair teams while the other two have only a few people aboard.  

Of the other new ships eleven, four are near completion and depending on the schedule, depends on the individuals on board.  Of the other seven, they are in various stages of building, from being just a hull to waiting for their engines to be fitted.

 
Stardate 10804.12 

Aaron Knight has volunteered for a suicide mission, he will pilot a shuttle in and we will beam him out.  At that point we will blow up the shuttle and decompress the shipyard

Christina Tulpen says:
::on the bridge of the Nighthawk monitoring the activity in the shipyard::
 Sid Monroe says:
::On the bridge sitting in the middle chair::
Brianna Rose says:
:: In the shuttle, unhappily finishing the final touches before Aaron takes it out... she mumbles under her breath::  I did not search all that time to have them rescue you and then you get killed... no... but what are you planning on doing?  Suicide... plain and simple.  And you have to do it by yourself... no one else...
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe/Jackson: there has been no change in the shipyard. It's safe to assume they did not detect us yet
Brianna Rose says:
:: She jumps as Aaron puts an arm around her to hug her tightly, giving her a kiss on her forehead along with reassurances he will be back soon.::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Good, let us put this plan into action.
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods: Christina: Might buy us some more time.. Wanna join me on the little excursion to the station?
Aaron Knight says:
Rose: Bri... if anything should happen... Aiden is a great friend.
Christina Tulpen says:
Jackson: No, thank you. I'll stay and watch over the fort.I have a bad feeling about that station
 Sid Monroe says:
*Knight*: You ready to depart.
Brianna Rose says:
:: Gently she pushes him away with a glare, her eyes swimming in tears.::  Knight: You just get your butt back here in one piece or I will haunt you forever.  :: With that admonishing order, she grabs her tool kit and heads for the door.::
Aaron Knight says:
:: Looks at Varesh, their words having been said earlier.  With a nod to the older man, he turns toward the flight console and sits down, beginning warm-up::
Brianna Rose says:
:: As Varesh joins her, slipping an arm around her, the two leave the shuttle area, the last sound they hear, that of the shuttle door sealing.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::remains at her station having the increased feeling this will be a useless mission::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe/Jackson: The shuttle reports they are ready to depart
 
ACTION: On the station, the last of the missing Klingon crew have arrived and they ask for permission to depart.

Gary Jackson says:
::Nods and turns to head off the bridge, but stops short of the bridge:: Monroe: Who do we actually have left to go with me?
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe/Jackson: I intercepted a transmission. One of the ships is asking permission to depart
Brianna Rose says:
:: Thanking Varesh, she leaves him and stoically heads for engineering to prepare for what might come next.::
 Sid Monroe says:
Jackson: As many as you need.

ACTION: The Klingon vessel decouples from the station and slowly heads out.

Gary Jackson says:
::Snorts:: Monroe: That's a handful at best... ::Shakes head:: Whispers: It's suicide.... ::Steps through the door::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe/Jackson: And we have a new addition to the shipyard, an incoming vessel with engine problems
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Shall I tell the shuttle to leave?
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Yes
Christina Tulpen says:
*Shuttle*: You may depart when ready, I'll give you control over the bay doors. Good Luck Aaron

ACTION: Knight acknowledges and slowly takes the shuttle out.

Varesh says:
::enters the bridge and says nothing to the others as he takes his place at tactical::
Gary Jackson says:
::Stands in the turbolift, thinking over their mission::
Christina Tulpen says:
All: The shuttle is exiting bay doors, I'll put it on screen
Christina Tulpen says:
All: This is when we may be spotted ...... ::puts the image of the shuttle on the main screen::
Varesh says:
Monroe: Weapons ready. ::taps a few controls::
 
ACTION: On the Nighthawk screen, the shuttle makes it way slowly towards the station; away from the Nighthawk which is sitting just within the stations sensor range.

ACTION:  The station is focusing on the incoming Klingon warship.

Christina Tulpen says:
::moves uncomfortably in her chair:: Self: so it starts
Gary Jackson says:
::Exits the lift and steps into the armory::
Christina Tulpen says:
::maintains a lock on Knight::
 
ACTION: The Knight's shuttle makes its way further in, 'riding' on the situation with the warship.  As soon as he can, he sends a comm to the station, requesting assistance.

Varesh says:
::glances over at Tulpen:: Christina: You have the lock on Aaron?
 
ACTION: The command center being busy with the warship, which is far more valuable then the smaller vessel, acknowledges Knights request and gives permission to doc.

Gary Jackson says:
::Picks up a weapon and holds it a bit awkwardly. He hasn't seen any action of note before this whole deal::
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: Yes, for now all is proceeding according to schedule ::neither her voice nor her mood hide her pessimism regarding this whole thing::
Varesh says:
::nods and checks the weapons systems again::
Christina Tulpen says:
All: You might like to know...that big warship can turn us to dust 100 times over before we can get a phaser lock. Fortunately it seems to be only working on backup power
Gary Jackson says:
::Puts the weapon down and looks around::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: How many onboard that warship?
 
ACTION: Knight angles the vessel towards the area that Tulpen had asked for... the sensors.  At the same time, one of those on the command deck, who has been given the job of dealing with the vessel, asks him where he is heading for.

Varesh says:
All: Just as well its on back-ups
Christina Tulpen says:
All: He is almost in position but they have contacted the shuttle ....
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: I can't scan how many are aboard but the standard compliment is about 200
Gary Jackson says:
::Moves to put on his suit::

ACTION: An explosion occurs near Earth.

Christina Tulpen says:
All: What the ...
Varesh says:
::notices something on his sensors:: Tulpen: Was that...?
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks on:: Tulpen: What?
Gary Jackson says:
::Moves to the room next door to see whether the others are prepared::
 
ACTION:  The station is suddenly very busy as they deal with the warship and incoming comm from Earth.

Christina Tulpen says:
All: I am detecting a very large explosion in a small repair station in Earth's orbit. A Vorcha class just blew up and took the station and several other vessels with it
Varesh says:
All: Someone with the same idea as us?
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: What kind of reaction from the shipyard?
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: Harlan's last report said the Elara was in the system. Could have been her.  If it was, its one less ship for the rebels. but they created quite a havoc in orbit
 
ACTION: Communication flies back and forth on the situation while the station goes to yellow alert and everyone’s attention is other then the small vessel.

Varesh says:
All: I'd say they've forgotten about the shuttle.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: They are receiving distress calls from Earth and have gone o yellow alert. they seem to be ignoring the shuttle
Christina Tulpen says:
::nods at Varesh:: All: I suppose this is our chance. That explosion might have increased our odds
Gary Jackson says:
::Sees a few people in the room:: Self: Great, like David and Goliath... All: Alright, let's get moving!
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Signal Knight.

ACTION: Knight brings the shuttle to a stop and waits for a signal from the Nighthawk, including possible changes of plan as he has been monitoring what has been going on over subspace.

Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Shall I tell him to begin the explosion sequence?
 Sid Monroe says:
::Nods:: Tulpen: Yes.  And initiate the transport. 
Brianna Rose says:
:: Down in engineering, keeps herself busy... only problem was, she had everything well 'oiled'.::
Christina Tulpen says:
::nods and signals Knight to prepare for transport and begin the explosion to be happening in 30 seconds::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Mumbles under her breath altering nice things about Knight and not so nice things::
Varesh says:
::holds his breath as the whole thing goes into action::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe; Beaming Knight....now! ::tries to beam Knight back to the Nighthawk::
 Sid Monroe says:
*Jackson*: We might have a break.  Prepare for action.
Aaron Knight says:
:: Receiving the comm, reaches over to activate the countdown.  Then standing, steps back to prepare for transport.::
Gary Jackson says:
*Monroe*: It better be a big break.. There's maybe a dozen of us... We could use another ten teams like this...

ACTION: Tulpen gets a lock and begins transport at the same time the shuttle explodes.

Christina Tulpen says:
::works with the controls to get Knight as the shuttle is blown to dust on the viewscreen::
Varesh says:
::looks fixedly at his controls::
 
ACTION: On the station, the individual in charge of the shuttles arrival is caught off guard in surprise.

Christina Tulpen says:
All: I got him but .... Varesh, you better get to the transporter room.
Varesh says:
::jumps up:: Tulpen: Bad?
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: Our transporters didn't get him fast enough and he caught some of the explosion ::looks saddened:: All: I am sorry
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: I can't say, it might be some burns and bruises or ... worse
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Its Jackson’s lead
Gary Jackson says:
::Takes the weapon and joins the team as they head to the transporter room::
Varesh says:
::heads for the exit off the bridge:: Monroe: I'm in sickbay. I hope this ship can deal with that kind of injuries. ::heads to the sickbay::
 
ACTION: The stations sensors go down on overload from the explosion.

 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Bring the station down.  Send the codes.
Christina Tulpen says:
*Jackson*: Gary, Knight did his job, And I am about to do mine ::nods at Monroe::
Varesh says:
::runs full tilt down the corridor to the transporter room, colliding with the door frame as he skids to a halt::
Christina Tulpen says:
::sends the codes to the station and once she has access to the computer she orders it to stop life support and to open every possible door in the station
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: I am telling it to stop life support and vent the air. If you have anything else in mind now is the time
 
ACTION: Suddenly the stations life support system stops and throughout the station, the exterior exits slowly begin to open.

Christina Tulpen says:
All: there is a flurry of coms around the station
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Shut main systems down.  Weapons, shields…
Varesh says:
::hits the comm button nearby and calls for medics to assist him::
 
ACTION: The station goes to red alert.

Gary Jackson says:
::Enters the transporter room, oblivious to the medical emergency taking place there:: *Tulpen*: We are set to go..
Christina Tulpen says:
::nods at Monroe and uses her control to drop the shields and then the weapons system, finally she tries to disable coms too::
Varesh says:
Knight: Don't you dare die, you arrogant get. I will resurrect you just so I can kill you again.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Jackson is ready to beam out
 
ACTION: Anything and anyone near the bay doors find themselves being dragged out into space.

 Sid Monroe says:
::Closes his eyes:: Tulpen: Beam them in.
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks over at the bodies in the viewscreen::
 
ACTION: The stations shield suddenly go down.

Christina Tulpen says:
*Jackson*: Beaming you to the main control area in 10 seconds
Christina Tulpen says:
::counts to ten and then sends Jackson's team to his fate::
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods and looks around once more, holding on to his weapon::
 
@ ACTION: Jackson and his team are beamed to the main control system.  There they find people running about, trying to secure their station.

Varesh says:
::two of Monroe's crew arrive with a stretcher and with difficulty they get Aaron onto it. He caught some of the explosion before he was beamed out and got severely burned.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: They managed to send a mayday com
Gary Jackson says:
@::Looks around at the new surroundings to get his bearings, then moves for cover as he brings up his disruptor::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Very well, keep an eye on any ships coming to its aide.

@ ACTION: As the command crew work at closing the doors, no one immediately notices the intruders.

Christina Tulpen says:
::nods:: Monroe: They will have their efforts split between us and the repair station in orbit
Varesh says:
::sprints ahead to sickbay so he can prep for surgery:: Nurse: When they get here, prep him for surgery. I have a lot of work to do.
 
@ ACTION: Throughout the station, bulk heads drop to seal off various sections to protect those there.
 
Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Do you still have access to the station?
Gary Jackson says:
@::Picks one of the crew there and starts firing, signaling his team to do the same::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: The station personnel is reacting rather well to the loss of life support. they are putting down doors and bulkheads to keep atmospheric pressure
Brianna Rose says:
:: Notes that the transporters on the ship were activated and patiently waits for Aaron to let her know how things went.::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Yes, I believe so
Varesh says:
::starts getting hyposprays and other tools ready and when they arrive gives Aaron a sedative that will knock him out for several hours::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Use their transporters and beam the rest of their crew into space.
 
@ ACTION: Jackson's firing of the weapon is the first alert that the command station has they are under attack from inside.

Varesh says:
::while the too small medical staff work Varesh goes to a console to call Rose:: *Rose*: Bri... things aren't looking good. Can you go find Aidan and keep him away from sickbay please? ::his voice belies some of his doubt::
Gary Jackson says:
@::Selects his next target, a Klingon working frantically at his station, and fires his weapon::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Very well, but I refuse to kill humans
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Start with the main control center.
Brianna Rose says:
:: As Varesh's words sink in she slumps to the ground, putting her hands into her head with a groan::  No....
Christina Tulpen says:
::with that line she goes about locking into every Klingon, Cardassian or Breen she can spot and use the station's transporters to beam them to their deaths
Gary Jackson says:
@::Looks around for a moment to make sure his back is covered before moving on to his next target::
Christina Tulpen says:
::starting with the control center:: Monroe: Beginning
Varesh says:
::turns around, swallows hard and picks up the tools of his trade:: All: Lets get him through this. ::everything around him becomes secondary as he works to save the pain in his behind::
 
@ ACTION: Soon the command crew are positioning themselves for defence and begins to fire back at the intruders.
 Sid Monroe says:
::Nods::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Swallowing hard, she pushes herself from the floor in search of Aidan... she could do this much at least... and then stops as she remembers her job here.  She looks around in confusion.::
