[Kalen]
Deck three is a mess: conduit hangs from the ceiling, alert lights are
flashing, and small fires burn unopposed. Raith is running down the
corridor towards the main lift. Turning the last corner before the lift, he runs face first into Remi.
trRaith: oof! ::bounces off the Eredh::
Tr Remi: Hey rekkhai ::grins and waves around the deck:: Fine whether
we're havin' ey?
trRaith: ::nods:: Any idea what's going on, on the Oira? ::walks in front of the lift door and presses the button::
Tr Remi: Na- what's up?
trRaith: Ghire called general quarters from the Bridge ::watches the lift open and gets in:: I don't know what's happening except that he called us to the oira.
Tr Remi: ::nods in blind acceptance::
trRaith: ::waits for Remi to get into the lift::
Tr Remi: Hmm.. ::steps onto the lift:: Who has control of the bridge?
trRaith: Ghire I would assume. Raunik is there too- but I didn't hear anything from him. ::with both inside the lift now, he shouts:: Oira! ::doors close and the lift goes up the hole:: Is all clear in main engineering?
Tr Remi: ::nods:: yeah- but I've been thinking rekkhai...
trRaith: ::looks up:: ie?
Tr Remi: Maybe we should find a new method of recruiting staff?
trRaith: ::looks confused:: my way seems to be working...
Tr Remi: I understand that it is effective. However, I worry about loyalty problems
trRaith: ::nods:: aye.. but this will have to wait- ::steps out of the
opening doors and onto the Oira::
Tr Remi: ::shrugs and follows::
[Oira]
As tr'Raith and tr'Remi enter the oira they see Ghire standing by the
COM consul waving them over. tr'Elq is sitting at the console
Raith steps over what looks like Raunik's body and heads for his
throne. Ghire waves him over from the COM console. "We have a problem."
As tr'Raith and tr'Remi enter the oira they see Ghire standing by the
COM consul waving them over. tr'Elq is sitting at the console
tr'Raith: status Eredh!
tr'Elq: we just received a message from the Ra-sessketh for you. This was apparently not a storm, or at least not in the conventional meaning. Its stationary and was cloaked.
tr'Raith: Like a mine field ::frowns::
tr'Elq: exactly, I think its safe to say we've entered hostile space.
Elq hits a few keys at his console and an image of Den t'Kethry appears, followed by a short prerecorded message that she received.

Imperial Logo
// you have entered RSE / Argada border space- heave to and prepare to be boarded \\
~~~~~~~~~
tr'Elq: After the message I did a quick scan of the Ra`Sesketh to find out how badly they were hit. They're a little worse off than we are, a few members of senior staff are injured, and other repairs will be necessary immediately but they'll be alright. They're position left them more open to the "storm" than ours did.
Tr'Raith: Have we heard anything else from our attackers since?
Tr'Elq: Na, rehkkai. They have been quiet since.
Tr'Kuro: Two bombers are coming into view, approaching us.
Tr'Elq: They're hailing rekkhai...Your orders?
trRaith: Don't respond
Raith stands next to Elq, while Meira enters the oira and gets to work
on Raunik. The commander looks down at Elq and inquires "Is there any
way we can get through this field?" The Eredh shrugs and starts doing
some calculations.
Tr Remi: ::stands at his console checking ship status:: Raith...
trRaith: ::looks over:: ie?
Tr Remi: It looks like we blew a power Conduit on deck 3.
trRaith: ::nods:: can you fix it from here? or can your crew fix it?
Tr Remi: Na... I can have it back up in 20 seuren if I go. ::grins:: I'm going to have to get physical
trRaith: ::nods:: get at it then- I don't know how long we have before we are intercepted by a patrol
Remi climbs into a jeffries tube access shunt by his feet at the rear
of the oira. Those that notice he didn't take the lift, are a bit
surprised- the existence of the access point is not common knowledge.
trRaith: ::shrugs::
Tr Remi: Don't worry Rekkhai! Just taking a short cut.
trRaith: ::eye brow raises. Shakes his head and gets back to matters at
hand:: Ku! status on that patrol
tr Kuro: ::scans:: Im reading about 6 bombers about 2 AU from here...
look like L`bel class or smaller. ETA ::checks:: four surena.
Tr Remi:*> ::moving his way through the jeffries tube to main
engineering::
tr Kuro: orders?
trRaith: +taps+ Remi -things are gonna get messy real quick- got a
patrol on our tail. You best hang on down there.
Tr Remi:*> +taps+ Ie- Have it up in a jif
trRaith: ::looks down at elq:: Tell Den to drop back and re-cloak. I don't want her to take anymore hits
Tr Remi: ::Finds power conduit and begins repair::
trRaith: tell her to try and find a way through the field- we'll deal
with the fighters
Tr Remi: +taps+ Raith
tr Elq> ::types over the squadron net:: aye rekkhai
trRaith: +taps+ Ie?
Tr Remi: +taps+ Its not as bad as I thought
trRaith: Ie? ...menkha
Tr Remi: +taps+ have it up in 5
trRaith: how bad will this affect our defensive systems?
Tr Remi: ::continues working ::: +taps+ Not too bad
tr Kuro> Bombers, ETA one minute and closing on weapon's range
Tr Remi: +taps+ just don't expect Fort Nox
Tr Kuro> Whats that?
trRaith: +Taps+ ie- good job Eredh. Bring shields on line!
tr Kuro> Ie
Tr Remi: ::finishes work and climbs through jeffries tube into main
engineering
ACTION> the 2 layers of shields fold around the ship and weapons go online
Tr Remi: ::officers in main engineering look confused at their panels as defenses come back online
trRaith: +Taps+ Remleq! get down to the fighter bay and get our defense fighters in formation on the double!
Tr Remleq:*> +taps+ Aye
trRaith: ::frowns and goes to his throne:: this is it boys- lets rock! Helm! bring us about! Elq- line up Ku's shots!
Tr Remi: ::feels ship jolt as a blast hits the hull::
trRaith: Tactical- get ready to fire- all enemy targets labeled hostiles ::leans back::
Tr Remi: +taps+ everything is holding for the time being
