The Silent Enemy

[Romulan_Furry]

... but something happened. As soon as the Chimera went into warp, it dropped out of warp before an alien ship:



"What the hell is that?" someone asked.

"Sir," Science said, "That thing is keeping us from going to warp - it's putting up a warp inhibitor field."

"And we flew right into it," Jason growled. "Great. Just what I need. More complications. Hailing frequencies."

"Open, sir," Comms responded.

"This is Commander Priznat of the starship Chimera to unidentified alien ship - Stand down and power down your warp inhibitor field. If you do not comply, we will use deadly force," Jason demanded. Moments later, they got a response in the form of Jason's message being played back to them garbled in static.

"Are these guys retarded?" one of the younger crewmen asked sarcastically. Truthfully, Jason was wondering that himself; what was the point of playing back his own message?

Unexpectedly, the warp inhibitor field vanished, and the alien ship warped away, but in it's place, a Romulan D'Derridex-class Warbird de-cloaked. "Ugh, these guys never learn," Jason groaned.

"Sir, the Romulan ship is hailing us," Comms proclaimed. Jason nodded, and the officer patched the message through. Immediately, a clearly-arrogant Romulan could be heard as he said,

"So the Elachi were right - there are pitiful ships attempting to escape from Virinat. When will you lesser minds learn that you cannot run from the Tal Shiar?" Jason frowned. He knew this voice.

quietly Kavin muttered to himself,

"All I wanted was a couple days, apparently I can't even have that."

A blue portal opened up about 100 feet  from the aft side of the Chimera and out came the Borealis, portal vanishing behind it as soon as it got out."I see you didn't get very far, Captain, do your guest mind if I butt in?"Asked Rae the Captain of the Borealis.


"Do these guys EVer learn?" Keri asked, almost sarcastically.

"Ha'DIbaH quvHa'." Tigress muttered, speaking some  foreign language.

The ferret wandered about and his ears twitched as he heard the telltale signs of a ship engaging its warp drives. The ferret took careful steps and when the ship entered warp he stayed on his feet with only minimal effort. It did, however, catch him off guard when the ship very quickly dropped out of warp and he stumbled sideways a few steps. "What the.." the ferret's ears twitched manically as he looked around and tried to listen for some signs of engine trouble, but it seemed that things were running fine.

Jogging quickly over to someone who looked like they worked on this ship he immediately broke into a quick series of questions. "What exactly is going on? I thought we were getting out of here but we dropped out of warp in no time. Areweokay? Didsomethinghappen? Ihope.. I hope we're not about to end up stranded.. I'd hate to float in the void when this ship was supposed to save our asses." Alec had felt his speech accelerating in a moment of hyperactivity, but he kept himself (mostly) in check.

"Hakeev!" Jason greeted the commander of the Warbird. "Been too long since Rigel IV! Still at odds with Empress Sela?"

"Jason..." Hakeev growled. "I should have known you were behind this. How fortunate. I can--" Hakeev was interrupted by the sudden arrival of the Borealis.

"Impeccable timing, comrade," Jason chuckled. "So, Hakeev... two ships against one. Both of us are packing weapons that will rip you apart. You'd be smart to stand down and walk away with your skin still attached. But, knowing you, I'll probably get 'I'll burn you like the weakling you are' like last time. So..."

"On the contrary," Hakeev responded. "My ship has been vastly upgraded since last we met!"

"Uh, yeah, so has mine, dip****. Will you ever learn? I kicked your *** last time, and you weren't outnumbered like you are now. Last chance - stand down," Jason said.

"No one challenges the Romulan Star Empire! Close channel!" Hakeev commanded.

The channel cut out, and Jason's XO chuckled, "Smooth, Commander."

"Ah, you know Hakeev - easy to piss off and not to bright when he is pissed off," Jason replied. "Tactical, go Regenerative mode; Science, ready the Tachyon Inversion Beam. Borealis... feel free to start blasting apart Hakeev's ship."

[PossumDeMort]

Kavin began prepping  to begin evasive  maneuvering  as soon as shots are fired.

[Alessia Starfurr]

"Rail guns, Missles or beam lasers, Captain? And would you like fries with that?" Rae asked.

"Always the joker, Rae." Tigress grumbled


"I dunno she's funny most of the time." Keri added her  '2 cents'

Borealis---------------------------------------------

"Argo, let's give our friends on the Warbird a shocking good time shall we?" Rae asked her AI companion.

"Shocking good time coming up." Argo saidas Borealis rail gun cannons instead, of firing solid slugs, fired two odd blue comet like  balls of energy from Particle Projectile Cannons blue tails flowing behind the projectiles as they flew towards the Warbird, the concentrated  comet like projectile  of ion's and protons would cause not only damage in the thermal range, but also kinetic, and cause a localized, but short lived EMP at the impact site.

[Romulan_Furry]

The two ships engaged the Warbird, and with the firepower mounted on the ships, they had a serious advantage. Between the Tachyon Inversion Beam draining Hakeev's shields and the firepower of the Borealis and the Chimera combined, Hakeev's fight was short-lived. The ship warped away after taking semi-serious damage, and in it's place came another Romulan Warbird.

"This is Commander Temer of the Romulan Republic Warbird Freedom to the colonists of Virinat - I responded to your distress call as soon as I picked it up," came a Romulan voice on an open channel.

"A little late to the party, Commander," Jason muttered, his tone low enough to keep the Romulan Commander from hearing him.

((I'm really sorry guys. I wish I could RP with you, I'm getting too busy now :"( hope we can chat sometime on the Random Board-I'm more into the social aspect of the fandom bye guys))

"We have it covered, Thank you commander, the Elachi already hit the planet all the survivors are aboard our two ships unless someone, somehow is still alive on the surface."

(That's alright 'Zip.' seeya around)

[PossumDeMort]

Kavin sighs and lights a new cig,

Not dead yet he thinks, for how much longer remains to be seen...

[Romulan_Furry]

"Commander Temer, this is Commander Priznat - thanks for answering our distress call, but we seem to have things handled, now. You arrived too late to stop these... 'Elachi' from razing Virinat," Jason said.

Temer sighed, "That's not the first time I've heard something like that - and I fear it will not be the last. But, if it interests you, the Romulan Republic has a flotilla nearby - a safe haven of sorts, and if you're interested, you can join our struggle against the Tal Shiar and the Elachi."

Jason softly growled with a thoughtful look on his face, stroking his chin as though he had a beard. "Convenient," he murmured.

The helm console would display a new line of information, indicating it had received the coordinates of the flotilla.

[Alessia Starfurr]

"Beware Romulan's bearing Gifts." Keri whispered to Jason.

Tigress meanwhile checked up something on the ships tactical station. "oh man this layout is a mess." She whined.

[Razuel]

On the intercom, a nurse's voice was heard, "Miss, um, Tigress?,  could you come down to the medbay... Soon.", The intercom then turned off.

[Alessia Starfurr]

"I'm an engineer not a doctor." Tigress grumbled getting up to head to the medbay.


When she got inside she asked "What is it?" in a dull tone.
