USS Sharikahr Mission #333

Space…the ultimate battleground. These are the adventures of the Sharikahr and her crew of rebels in their struggle to survive, fight and overcome, against all odds, the obstacles that this cruel and vicious universe put in front of them.
During last mission the Sharikahr demonstrated that no plan survives contact with the enemy. The rebels managed to send an away team to the other universe and give the Klingons their freedom back, but this did not come cheap.
The Alliance not only knew that the Sharikahr was coming, but they had time to prepare a trap. With the shields disabled, the rebel ship is pursued by nine Alliance vessels. If she does not manage to put some distance, she may not have a chance to survive.
To make things worse traitors may still be on board. Who could they be? Some old crew member , or maybe it is newly arrived Paladin? Could all those luxury supplies he brought aboard be the price for his allegiance to the Alliance?
Maybe someone else entirely is the culprit…. Someone completely unsuspected.
For the moment, Savar and the rest of the Away Team are inside another universe's Klingon Empire, will they be able to return alive to the mirror universe? And if they do, what will they find?

::at his station, keeping one eye on the sensors, the other eye on his distance to the asteroid, and continuing to throttle back gradually on the engines while keeping his course correction on standby::
IO_Paladin says:
@::waiting patiently::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Following behind Rotak ::
XO_Rogers says:
::at the XO station monitoring sensors:: CIV: They're still gaining. Is there any way to get us some more speed?
CIV_Arinoch says:
XO: Momentarily. Watch, and maybe you'll learn something.
Host Mirror_Enrico says:
@ACTION: The lift carries the Away team up many levels, until it reaches a large well lit circular room with 5 Klingons in uniform waiting. They carry disruptor rifles but they are not pointed at the team.
CMO_Shakes says:
:: Leans back and gets comfortable:: Self: I can't do anything in sick bay till things are safer
IO_Paladin says:
@::stands in the lift silently watching::
Host Lady_Rotak says:
@Klingons: Hello Lieutenant Rozhenko, did you miss me? Please lead me to my husband. And stay as you were. There is no danger.
XO_Rogers says:
::just shakes her head, familiar with his style of banter:: CIV: I'll take that as a yes.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::keeps his eye on the weapons range indicator... if this isn't timed perfectly, the wrong ship could go boom quite nicely::
Host Lady_Rotak says:
@<Rozhenko>: Rotak: As you command my lady. ::bows and lets the Away Team pass::
@AT: This way. And be glad you are with me.
IO_Paladin says:
@;;follows::
Host Lady_Rotak says:
<Polo>*XO*: I identified the viral subroutine and I am about to delete it. You should have shields up soon. ::you can hear the  sounds of a door opening through the communicator.  Other: Hey what are you doing here, you are supposed to be de….
CIV_Arinoch says:
::taps a control, and the ship begins to angle downwards slightly, as though helm control was giving out::
CMO_Shakes says:
:: Starts to go green::
XO_Rogers says:
*Polo*: Who is there with you?

ACTION: There is no answer to the XO's call, only the noise of the communicator's line still open.
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: It appears we might have a problem. Keep that phaser handy and keep an eye on the Bridge entrance.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::on instinct, hits another couple controls, putting up a force field at the now dead officer's location, and the bridge entrance::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Watching, listening, wonders if they should be insulted, but obviously does not respond.::
Host Lady_Rotak says:
@::while she walks:: AT: We are about to meet my husband, General Krast. He will be the one rewarding you

ACTION: An explosion rocks the Sharikahr whose engines immediately shut down. The ship drops out of warp and begins drifting at high speed.

CMO_Shakes says:
XO: That I can do...but be warned, if we continue to fly this way, I might be sick... stupid attackers
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Inclines his head slightly, but remains silent ::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::curses lowly, and draws his own weapon:: CMO: We're not flying anywhere.
XO_Rogers says:
::holds onto her seat as the explosion throws the ship around::
IO_Paladin says:
@::stands slightly to the rear of the group and admires the CSO`s physique::

@ACTION: Two large doors open and let the AT inside a large hall, whose walls paneled with some exotic wood and covered with trophies of all kind, from flags to ancient weapons. At the other extremity of the hall a large Klingon male is talking shop with two other officers.

CMO_Shakes says:
:: leans over the back on the chair and gets sick from the sudden stop:: All: sorry....
IO_Paladin says:
@::whistles at the sight::
XO_Rogers says:
*Engineering*: I don't care how you do it. Fix those engines or we are toast.
Host Lady_Rotak says:
<CEO_Dag>: *XO*: Something blew up the plasma conduits in deck 5. No energy is reaching the engines. We will try to give you back propulsion but it won't be easy.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::kills the bridge force field for about a minute, and without saying a word, heads for the door::
XO_Rogers says:
CIV: Not without back up you're not.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Ignores the whistle and looks across the room and around it.::
CIV_Arinoch says:
XO: Then recruit someone. If we can get this bucket flying we'll need a pilot.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Something about this whole situation makes her anger, though not a flicker of emotion crosses her face.::

@ACTION: Rotak slowly walks toward her husband, who turns his head and sees her. He lets a shout out of his mouth and runs toward her, hugs her and Head butts her before  lifting her from the deck. After a few seconds the general puts rotak down and the two begin some serious whispering.

IO_Paladin says:
@::takes in the sight of the room::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::waits about a half second, then keeps going::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: She takes in everything around her, noting key locations and areas of danger.::
XO_Rogers says:
CIV: Be careful. If you die I will be very put out.
Host Krast says:
@AT: My wife says you saved her life. Who is your leader?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Steps forward ::  Krast: I am.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::pauses every so often to sweep the corridor visually, then does the same with the disruptor::
CMO_Shakes says:
:: Slowly rises from chair:: Self: that hurt... :: moves to a better position to cover the door::
XO_Rogers says:
::moves to the pilot’s seat and broadens her mind to "follow" the CIV so she can warn him::
Host Krast says:
@CO: As you saved the life of Rotak, Daughter of Kang, member of the Order of the Bath'let and my spouse, I am in debt, and I am curious. My wife tells me you are not of the Federation.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@Krast: She speaks the truth.
IO_Paladin says:
@::looks around the room half listening to the conversation::
Host Krast says:
@CO: And who are you?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Wondering the point of this ::  Krast: Some call me Savar.  Most call me Captain.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::continues walking, making his way in the general direction of engineering since that's where the attacker started::
Host Krast says:
<OPS>XO: Skipper the Alliance is hailing us.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: lifts a brow at that comment::
IO_Paladin says:
@::begins to wander around the room seemingly aimless::
XO_Rogers says:
OPS: Of course they are. Patch it through.
Host Krast says:
@CO: And who do you own your allegiance to?
IO_Paladin says:
@::looks at Krast::
Host Krast says:
<Alliance_Captain>::with haughtiness:: COM: Shari: You are surrounded, with no shields and no propulsion, power down your weapons, surrender and prepare to be boarded.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@Krast: Myself, and my crew.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::lets the reports of general chaos, and the full extent of the damage filter to Millicent, who he knows has a mental eye on him::
XO_Rogers says:
::stalling:: COM: Alliance Captain: And how would you know our condition?
Host Krast says:
@CO: I see, a rogue. Well Savar the Rogue, we Klingons owe gratitude, and we always pay our debts, plus the Alliance acted against us, and this will be our retribution to those people who dishonor the Klingon name. Ask, what do you want?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@Krast: I was promised cloaking technology.
Host Krast says:
<Alliance_Captain>COM: XO: Millicent, you have been under active scan for the past hour. I even know how many scars you have. You have 2 minutes to decide. Then we will open fire.
CMO_Shakes says:
:: Wonders around the bridge, making sure all hatches are secure::
XO_Rogers says:
COM: Alliance Captain: You will have my decision in two minutes ::closes the com::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::mentally goes through the list of areas that were repaired, and takes into account the areas that have yet to blow up... heads for the weapons array::
Host Krast says:
<OPS>: XO: The Allliance ships are in weapons range. They stopped moving.
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: Someone ratted us out good.
XO_Rogers says:
*CIV*: We have two minutes to avoid being boarded. I have a plan but it's risky.

@ACTION: Suddenly the alarm starts ringing in the hall. It's a red alert signal.

XO_Rogers says:
CMO: How attached is Savar to this ship?
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: Don't you dare
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Glances up at the ceiling momentarily - alarms sound similar no matter what universe ::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Hearing the red alert for what it was, she steps closer to Savar.::

@ACTION: A Klingon soldier enters the hall running and yelling “Traitors! We are under Attack” when his shout is cut short by a disruptor blast.

XO_Rogers says:
CMO: I don't have much of a choice. He's losing it one way or the other.
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: do you know how long it took us to get this ship!
IO_Paladin says:
@::snaps back into action::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::enters the section containing the weapons array, and surveys the room::
IO_Paladin says:
@Krast: What’s happening?
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: Then I'm open to suggestion.

@ACTION: A group of soldiers with Alliance uniforms enter the Hall almost immediately after. They start shooting on the people assembled.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@All: Cover! :: Dives for cover::
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: he would rather you take her into battle, then to toss it away so openly
IO_Paladin says:
@::grabs the nearest weapon of the wall and takes cover::

@ACTION: Two of the Klingons present in the room are cut down while trying to get weapons, the others react and shoot back. A general fight opens in the large room.

CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Having no desire to be caught in cross fire, she follows Savar's orders.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Hisses slightly, and pulls the dagger from his belt ::
IO_Paladin says:
@::pulls a photon grenade from his vest and lobs it at the group of Alliance grunts::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::nods, and doubles back, moving through the corridor and back towards engineering:: *XO*: I like risky.

@ACTION: The photon grenade explodes near the Alliance soldiers disintegrating three of them.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Takes stock of what he came with - a hand phaser and his dagger.  Peeking around a corner, he tries to count the enemies, or at least get a good bead on their position for a knife throw ::
IO_Paladin says:
@Self: Badaboom
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: Beam over a sleeping bomb, it will knock them out temporarily
Host Krast says:
<Alliance_Captain>: COM: XO: Two minutes are passed. What is your answer?
CIV_Arinoch says:
::pulls out his tricorder and runs a scan, taking stock of the occupants nearest him first::
IO_Paladin says:
@::sneaks a peak and takes in positions and numbers::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Blows air between his teeth to get the attention of So'tosh and Paladin, then motions a fanning motion with his hands, indicating to try to flank the Klingons.  After issuing his silent orders, he peeks his head up from his cover, and fires twice at two of the Klingons ::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::nods, and makes his way to the computer core, scanning as he goes::
IO_Paladin says:
@::nods at the Captain and begins edging his way around the flanks::
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: There waiting...
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Noting she is not in the best of locations, but her area is clear, she makes her way slowly toward the rear.::
IO_Paladin says:
@::slides his Colt revolver out of its holster::

@ACTION: The Klingons begin to retreat under the pressure of the Alliance Commandos who advance, exposing their flanks.

IO_Paladin says:
@::takes aim at the nearest Klingon and pulls the trigger::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Pops from the opposite side of his cover, firing again to allow everyone to move into better positions, trying to get the best shots he can ::
Host Krast says:
<Alliance_Captain>COM: Shari: As you wish rebel!  ::closes the communication::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::enters the computer core, and looks around for anything, including their crewmate's body::

@ACTION: Shot by Paladin the Alliance Klingon is hit twice by the lead slugs and falls.

IO_Paladin says:
@Self: Not bad for an old bugger
XO_Rogers says:
COM: Alliance Captain: We surrender

ACTION: In the computer room, the CIV find the body of Carolina Polo with a hole in her head.

IO_Paladin says:
@::puts on his best John Wayne voice:: Self: Well that`ll teach ya pilgrim

@ACTION: Two Alliance soldiers lie dead on the hall’s floor shot by the CO.

CIV_Arinoch says:
::shakes his head:: Self: Damn shame. ::moves over to the panel she was working at to see where she left off::
Host Krast says:
<Alliance_Captain> COM: XO: Power down your weapons.
CMO_Shakes says:
:: moves over to the captains chair, and begins to put in self destruct codes:: XO: I'm not going back there.
IO_Paladin says:
@::pulls another grenade out and lobs it at the group of alliance soldiers::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Her slow advance soon has her near the entry way.  She pauses at the body of a dead soldier and is reminded of where they are at.::
IO_Paladin says:
@::after the lob continues to make his way around the flanks::
XO_Rogers says:
*All crew*: The Alliance will be boarding us shortly. Abandon ship.

@ACTION: Paladin's grenade is a dud, it rolls harmlessly among the Alliance Commandoes legs.

CIV_Arinoch says:
Self: More than one way to kill a Klingon. ::walks out of the computer core, and heads for one of the transporter rooms::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: While everyone stares at the grenade, she slips out the doorway::
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: Not a chance ::overrides self destruct::
Host Krast says:
<Duty_Tac> XO: Do I power down weapons?
IO_Paladin says:
@self: Great. Dammn duds
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Fires his phaser again, knowing this can't last forever ::  Rotak: Rotak!
IO_Paladin says:
@::takes aim again and squeezes the trigger::
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: If you think I'm blowing myself up...
CIV_Arinoch says:
::steps into the transporter room, excuses the man working there and uses the console to see exactly which of the alliance ships have their shields down::
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: No, just me and the ship, you'd have 2 minutes to run

@ACTION: Suddenly Rotak enters the fight savegely whirling a bat’ leth she collected from the walls. Alliance soldiers fall in front of her as if they are being mowed.

XO_Rogers says:
CMO: You must have my codes as well. I never gave them to you.
IO_Paladin says:
@::reloads his Colt::
Host Krast says:
@<Rotak> Savar: CO: I need cover!
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Hears the entrance rather than sees it and pops around his cover, firing in the confusion ::
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: And I won't be.
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: do you realize how much information is on those ships about the resistance! So you want them all to die so you can stay alive? Coward!
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Slowly her eyes rove those before her from the Alliance, searching for the leader... assuming he was still alive.::
IO_Paladin says:
@::slaps the new cylinder home and cocks her::

ACTION: Suddenly the Shari is shaken by desruptor fire...one by one The ship’s weaponry is shot down, severely damaged.

XO_Rogers says:
*CIV*: Tell you've got something.
CIV_Arinoch says:
*XO*: Can't board us with their shields up. And I've got a surprise for the first one to do it.
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: You just said Savar won't lose this ship. I won't destroy it until I have no other choice.
IO_Paladin says:
@::pulls the other Colt of his hip and stands  firing both pistols from the hips at target, letting out a loud rebel yell::
Host Krast says:
<Alliance_Commander>: COM XO: I warned you.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Finds the one she is searching for.  Her eyes narrow as she carefully aims::
CIV_Arinoch says:
*XO*: When I say, activate the tractor beam and reverse the polarity. Set it up directly between this ship and the alliance.
XO_Rogers says:
COM: Alliance: Commander: I was having a slight disagreement with my crew about my choice. May I have a few minutes to get them in line.
CMO_Shakes says:
:: holds the phaser with both hands to keep it steady and aims at the XO:: XO: Give me the codes, now. The resistance is more important then you or I.
XO_Rogers says:
*CIV*: You got it
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Firing at the command officer, she pulls back slightly::
Host Krast says:
<Alliance_Captain>: COM: XO: Too late Millicent, you have no weapons. And now you caused many deaths among your crew. ::the communication falls::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::hopes the alliance is as accurate as he's heard::
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: You kill me and you still won't have them. Donavin has a plan. Give it a chance first.

@ACTION: The CSO's shot is wide on the right. The officer notices her and runs toward her.

XO_Rogers says:
CMO: How did he know my name?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Sees the Commander move, and tries to fire at him, getting a decent bead ::
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: How am I supposed to know, I'm just a little old doctor.
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: If Donavin's plan doesn't work. We'll blow up the ship.
CMO_Shakes says:
XO: Tick tick tick

ACTION: The Alliance’s flagship lowers her shields, all the personnel on the bridge are beamed out of the Shari.

IO_Paladin says:
@::continues to let rounds fire::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Seeing the approach, she moves further out of the room and deeper back into the area they had originally come from.::

@ACTION: The Alliance commander is disintegrated by Savar's shot.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Sneers slightly, feeling confident about their chances, firing at the smaller number of attackers, and trying to count his own forces ::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: As no one follows, she carefully makes her way back to discover the Alliance commander was nowhere about.::
ACTION: The XO and the CMO are beamed directly into an Alliance brig cell. Their weapons have been disabled. Then they dematerialize again.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::sees the alert that the bridge is empty, and the alliance flagship's shields are down, and beams the alliance bridge crew to Shari's bridge::
@ACTION: Suddenly a group of Klingons enters the hall and dispatches the remaining Alliance Commandoes.
ACTION: the XO and CMO materialize close to Arinoch...internal sensors indicate that 80% of the Shari crew has been beamed aboard Alliance ships and taken captive.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::then enters a second command to transport himself to the alliance bridge::
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Watching the last of the Alliance officers dispatched, her estimation of them is lowered.::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::tries to initiate the transport again, and beam the 3 of them to the alliance ship's bridge while beaming their bridge crew to the Sharikahr::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Checks from around his cover that the threat is gone and stands up fully ::  Rotak: We have been followed.

ACTION: This time the CIVs beaming trick does not work...something is jamming the Shari's transporters making impossible to beam in or out of the ship

CMO_Shakes says:
:: Lunges at the XO and tries to strangle her neck:: XO: This is all your fault
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Looking about at the destruction, she slips back into the hall.  Something simply is not right.::
CIV_Arinoch says:
::is about to comment on their current situation, but at the CMO's action, spins and swings the disruptor for the back of her head::
XO_Rogers says:
::fights her, choking:: CMO: If you...hadn't been fighting me...every step...I could have.. dealt with this.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Starts to take count of his officers, noting the loss of one... and the strange absence of So'tosh ::

ACTION: Hit by Arinoch, the CMO slumps on the ground, temporarily knocked out.

XO_Rogers says:
CIV: Thanks. What's the brilliant plan now.
CIV_Arinoch says:
XO: Now with that out of the way, we get the hell to the shuttle bay.
CMO_Shakes says:
:: Slumps:: XO: ....ch
CIV_Arinoch says:
XO: Unless you value being an alliance prisoner.
XO_Rogers says:
CIV: Can you carry her?
Host Krast says:
@CO: Savar, I think my debt of honor had just grown. Without your crew we would have not made it and those Peta'Q would have won.
CIV_Arinoch says:
::hands Millicent his disruptor, and goes to throw the CMO over his shoulder:: XO: Only because she's the captain's. I'd personally just as soon shoot her.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@Krast: I fear for my vessel.  We may not be able to return.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: Looks at Savar... was he considering staying here, in this time and place?::
XO_Rogers says:
CIV: We must destroy this vessel. The information is too valuable.
Host Krast says:
@CO: With this act the Alliance has challenged me one time too many. We will have revenge on them and we will help you in any way we can.
CIV_Arinoch says:
XO: One step at a time. Let's get off it first. Is Paladin's fighter still aboard?
XO_Rogers says:
CIV: The Luna might be a better choice for three.
CIV_Arinoch says:
XO: We're going to need ammunition.

ACTION: The XO and CIV can hear many steps coming down the corridor. Shakes wakes up.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
@:: Nods slowly:: Krast: You are a worthy ally.
CSO_So`tsoh says:
@ :: considered, Klingon against Klingon...::
CMO_Shakes says:
:: Grumbles awake::
XO_Rogers says:
CMO: Enter the codes.
