[Planet's Surface]
Elq smiles and moves quickly to get his gear and heads off quietly on
his own towards the military installations to the east. He realizes he can't go to any array, because he needs one with interplanetary capabilities, so he heads off for the building adjacent to a ship docking bay, hoping that in the general hustle and bustle he won't be overly conspicuous and also that since the area serviced interplanetary movements, that maybe he would be able to find what he needed here.
Remi ducks under another plasma burst. the mad Irishman darts his
air car rapidly up the cooridor and knocks over yet another asailent.
He'd missed the rendez-vous the Arrain had ordered with Idran and Riam-
he'd seen what was left of Riam and gotten out as quick as he could.
Knowing no other practical destination, the Erien had returned to the
motor pool and comundeered a ride there....
Elq darted up the coridor, fully aware of shouting and weapons fire
nearby. As yet the pandimonium had concealed his presance. As he rounded a corner he was almost run down by a motorist- he only haulted
retaliation when he recognized the driver... tr`Remi.
Remi> Get in! ::rolls to the side::
Elq> ::jumps unthinking into the back:: . i need to- Wooo!
the Erien is cut short as the car speeds up to breakneck speeds in
extremely close quarters.
Elq> ::shouting:: I need to get to a com array!
Remi> Da ::looks around::
ELq> At the road! ::points franticly::
Remi> ::shrugs and looks back:: ..i think i can get you started- but
you'll have to keep the guards off our backs.
Elq> ::nods:: ie..
With out further `adoo tr`Remi reaches back behind the seat of the air
car and starts rumaging. Elq grabs the weel and slows the vehicle. Remi
unearths several objects, whcih cause the car to die entirely/ The Erien presents Elq with the pile.
Remi> Here you are lad- a power pack, transponder, reciever, harmonic
booster, subspace relay can be 'rigged' with this here..::continues to
toss loos parts out of the car's engine and systems:: Elq quickly cconstructs a crude device and 'plugs her in'...
[Kalen]
*Plato-n -o to -len... com- in pl---s*
"Llock in on that signal and beam them out of there!" Raith shouts
over the din of battle. The security chief makes the adjustments and
soon the Erien-a are safely in the hull... as to the rest of the crews
status- the commander was unsure.
Elq and Remi emerge in the transporter room of what they assume to be
the Kalen, or at any rate a Kalen class ship. The room is empty and so
tr'Elq and tr'Remi stride to the turbo lift and make their way to the
oira.
Amid a frazzled mess of wires and semi-destroyed consoles, they find
t'Pranara, on the oira trying to get the ship up and running again.
tr'Elq and tr'Pranara clear rubble away from some of the consoles while
tr'Remi begines repairing some of the consoles. After a bit of time, tr'Remi wipes a bead of sweat from his brow and looks up from the panel on the TAC console.
tr'Remi> Allright, COM, TAC and HELM are functional,
tr'Elq> Aye, I'm going to try and get a fix on the position of
tr'Nerik's squad moves over to his console and begins to scan the surface for themissing troops' location.
tr'Remi moves towards an access panel at the back of the oira: I'm gonna go rout Ops in helm, be back in a jiffy.
tr'Elq> I'm picking up heavy fire from a bunker not too far from where I met up with tr'Remi. That's got to be Nerik.
tr'ELq> +taps+ Remi are we fuctional to transport longrange onto the
ship?
tr'Remi> Give me a moment, laddy and she'll be good as new.
tr'Elq>Aye ::to t'Pranara:: Can you try to find the erie'Riov, he's got
to be out here on a ship somewhere.
t'Pranara nods and begins to scan, sending a hailing message out for
tr'Raith to all Romulan ships in the area.
t'Pranara> IF he's out there and he's looking for us then that should do it.
tr'Elq> I have a specific location on the last firing in that little
bunker frucass, i'll try to send a hail out and see if its them.
He sends the message and after a moment are two he get an uneven
response:...this is Arrain tr'Nerik...the SNR KAL...EN...please get us
out of here....outgunned.
tr'ELq> +taps+ Remi you ready?
Remi pops up smelling of rhenish: aye, we're good to go!
tr'Elq just shakes his head and wonders if theres anywhere he doesn't
have a bottle stowed.
tr'ELq> Alright, i've got a lock on their location and I'm getting them
out..now. ::to Pranara:: how's it coming with Raith?
t'Pranara> I'll send out a hail once again ::she waits for a moment looking at her console::
OK, I'm getting a response!
tr'Raith> jolan tru all, how is my ship?
t'Pranara> Its stable rehkkai. COM, HELM, TAC and a rerouted ops are all
functional. We've got all of our senior staff present except for tr'Kuro
and t'Kethry and those that did not survive.
tr'Raith> Who is no longer with us?
tr`Elq> t'Mehlak and tr'Remleq
tr`Remi> tr'Riam too...
tr'Raith> Well, it is too bad, but for now we must focus on the living.
Find and get tr'Kuro squad off the planet and then make for SB Hama. I'm
going to be tied up here on the J'tol for an extended period so i'm
sending another officer to take command in my absence. His name is
erie'Riov tr`Kandeen. You may beam him aboard when ready.
t'Pranara> Aye, rehkkai, we're beaming him aboard now then.
tr'Elq punches in the tranporting locations and in a matter of moments
tr'Ryu is aboard the Kalen.
t'Pranara> Jolan tru, rehkkai.
