=/\= They are now under our protection Captain. Until thi—=/\= Drudoc began diplomatically but the channel closed and the warbird opened fire along the Ark Angel’s extended forward shields which went down to 89% as the ship shuddered under the impact. Turning quickly she said. “..Ops beam anyone off that ship then return shields to normal operations, have a security detail in transporter room one! Tactical once shields are restored return fire to disable the warbird. Helm begin evasive pattern Andone 7 Alpha..” She said taking her seat again.

“Aye Captain,” Simon replied. He hoped that there could have been a more peaceful solution, but he ensured that the ship was aiming at the weapons system of the Gurdin vessel. At the same time, he sent a request for a security team to await arrival of the scout ship’s crew. Once everything was in place, he quickly disabled the shields to allow transport from the scout ship to the ark angel. “Shields lowered for beam-out,” he said to the bridge, specifically to ops so that the transport could be completed. He knew that for these next few seconds, the ship was vulnerable and in Ops’ hands to retrieve the asylum seekers.

“Aye captain, sensors indicate people on the bridge. Transporter is locked on to them.”

Lt. JG Philips Ops Officer

“”All personnel are beamed off that ship, they are in transporter 2. Shields are up and full power. =^= Security, please report to transporter 2.=^=”
Lt. JG Philips Ops. Officer

Transporter room 2 reported they had gotten 3 people off the scout ship no other life signs were detected.

“Nice work Philips!” Tenzing called out. The Operations Chief began to receive the damage report list and began uploading it to a nearby PaDD. “Captain, our guests will be taken to Sickbay for a quick exam if you want to send someone there to meet them.” Trainor stated.

Trainor Operations Chief

“Thank you sir.” Philips said

“Shields are holding Captain, but we’re significantly down in reserves due to extending the shield. Charging will be slow!” Chris was already scratching his head on trying to find more power to allocate that wasn’t already shut down. He had to have enough power to the weapons since they were currently charging and ready to be fired at a moments notice. He had to be prepared for possible damage if the shields couldn’t recharge fast enough. He opened an internal comm to Engineering. =^= Damage control teams, stand by, be prepared for anything. Head to the standard rendezvous points!=^=

On screen the Gurdian Warbird came about aft disruptors lancing along the port beam of the Ark Angel shields were knocked down to 83% but were holding. No damage beyond that was reported. In return fire the Ark Angel’s phasers and torpedoes went out impacting along the warbird’s aft beam. Their shields older and less up to date were quickly hammered down to 60% as the two vessels parted, distance growing out to 1,200 meters, the warbird on their sensors cloaked, but with their ETS system tactical was able to get a fairly good estimate where the warbird was going arcing about to bring its forward weapons to bare.

“Shields down to 83%, but no structual damage to our ship, Captain, firing phasers and torpedoes” Starr responded as he gave the command on the console. The impact was loud and they had shown their strength, but as the ship cloaked he kept the eye on the tactical sensors, seeing it’s possible position and readying aim for where they were most likely to appear.

”..Helm, heading 32 mark 115, full impulse. Tactical once they begin to decloak fire on their engines and weapon systems to disable!” She said.

As the two ships began evasive patterns, the warbird began its decloaking readying to open fire on the aft port quarter of the Ark Angel, as ordered their return fire went out slamming into the unshielded warbird. It seems they were unlucky in some form as a photon torpedo arced through the warbird’s starboard nacelle and into the under dorsal hull housing. Something exploded somewhere in what would be the ship’s one cargo bay and with a heavy shudder exploded then!

The moment the warbird decloaked, Starr fired the torpedoes at the Engines and the phasers towards the weapons, aiming to hit both systems. As the torpedo made impact with the warbird, he saw the ship come to a halt, then after a few seconds, the explosion.

Drudoc sighed at the loss of life. “..Damnit..” She said softly, then stood. “..Stand down from red alert, to yellow alert, scan for any more Gurdian ships. If none show up in 10 minutes drop to Green.. Helm return us to standard orbit..” She said.

“Damnit” was said in unison between Starr and the captain as they both watched the ship explode. Starr was hoping they could have at least had a chance to stand down and surrender, but whatever they were carrying meant that the option was taken from them. He hoped it was not something he could have prevented.

Turning to the XO, “..Commander, given the situation it may be best for you to meet our Gurdian guests, take the COS and Mr Trainor with you and a security team, have them checked out by medical for injuries and get the lay of the land on their side of the story of why they’re seeking asylum. Once done bring them to the briefing room. Questions?” She asked.

GM CockRoach / Drudoc Andone CO

“Of course. No questions, ma’am.” Jasmijn rose to her feet. “Trainor, Starr, you heard the Captain. Let’s go.”

“Scanning for other Gurdian ships. So far, none detected.” Philips said as he worked the sensors.

“Lieutenant,” she turned to Starr, “have a security team meet us in Sickbay, on the double. Make sure their phasers are holstered and set on stun. We don’t want our visitors getting any ideas before we have the chance to explain ourselves.”

Lt. Cmdr. DeVries

“Aye, Commander” Starr responded as he tapped his own commbadge. =/\=Starr to Security team beta, report to sickbay - we’ve got some visitors coming=/\= he said as he made sure his own phaser was also set to stun and followed behind the XO.

Lieutenant (J.G) Simon Starr, CoS

“I’ll head back down to Engineering to coordinate repairs Captain.” He silently cursed himself for not being able to successfully work the shield modifications yet, more testing was required and a better way to store the energy needed for the initial deployment of the regenerative shields.

Lt. Chris Emmitt (CE)

”..Very well chief..” She said.

Sensors showed there were no more contacts present. So the crew was free to relax and get repairs underway.
