I’m slowly getting us closer and closer to being up to date. Congratulations to Tony and Robbie for being the only people who posted during this week: -=/\=- Compile #19 (compiled by the understudy Compile Imp) Covering 7 posts from 3 to 9 September 2005 -=/\=- Mission: Whom do you trust? Day: 3 Stardate: 2406.11.12 (USS Spectre, Bridge – CO, Captain Remae Ktell – 2100) (USS Phantom, Bridge – CO, Remae Ktell – 2100) (USS Phantom, Ready Room – CO, Remae Ktell – 2110) (USS Phantom, Ready Room – CO, Remae Ktell – 2130) (USS Spectre, Bridge – CO, Captain Remae Ktell – 2130) (USS Spectre, Bridge – CO, Captain Remae Ktell – 2145) (USS Spectre, Bridge – CMO, Alt. Williams – 2146) (USS Spectre, Bridge – CO, Captain Remae Ktell – 2150) (USS Spectre, Bridge – CMO, Craig Backhand/Williams – 2152) (Fighter Beta – Pilot Officer Clark – 2300) -=/\=- (USS Spectre, Bridge – CO, Captain Remae Ktell – 2100) The Spectre had dropped out of warp near the planet that had been their destination. "Take us into orbit, Commander", said the Captain and nodding in approval, the few officers trusted enough to enter the Bridge complied with his orders. "I take it the transporter program is ready, gentleman?" she said, Danielle had been planning this moment for years and it had finally arrived, "In that case, energise", she ordered. All at once, all the main transporters, cargo transporters, shuttle transporters and portal transporters came online together, beaming their capacity and then a few more down to the planet. The energy drain on the ship was evident, lights dimmed the noisy computers quietened and then, it was over, the ship had relived itself of the majority of the crew. "Mr Furrows, I believe you know our next course, engage when ready." The Spectre jumped to warp once more, leaving behind 120 souls on an unknown planet. (Reply from Any on the Spectre) (Posted by Anthony Keen) (USS Phantom, Bridge – CO, Remae Ktell – 2100) Interesting things were happening at the Engineer's Console on the Bridge of the ship, many different alerts were causing Remae some distress as he worked at the Science station. He was attempting to narrow down the course of the Spectre; it wasn't easy given the nature of the ship but suddenly. "Sir, we're cloaked and I've brought the warp engines back online", said a surprised Andorian. Remae looked over and nodded. Impressed with the speed of the repairs that led the Phantom to be parked inside the star for a number of years, Remae thought it was time to clear up a few matters. "The sensors are scanning for the warp trail of the Spectre; I've closed down the frequencies to just a few and it won't be long before we can go after her.", he said, standing up. "Mr Tahlmari, could you come with me?" said the Bajoran as he walked over to the Ready Room. (USS Phantom, Ready Room – CO, Remae Ktell – 2110) "Come.", came from inside as Remae and Tahl entered, "Captain, we're ready to get underway", said Remae looking at the confused Captain. "Look, it's obviously that you know me, erm, I mean Remae from this timeline but I have to tell you, I am not from this timeline, so I don't know you. Let me try and explain." Remae sat down and started. He explained that a few years ago, he and his crew entered this dimension and left their own, they were on the Spectre at the time. This meant, in this reality there was another Remae and another Spectre but it seemed they had disappeared without explanation. "In my timeline, the Phantom was lost many years ago and she wasn't under command of a Captain John Beal, it was on a deep cover mission in the Gamma Quadrant." "In this reality, the Phantom was also lost but it was a long time ago, according to my research, but it looks like you just got here, would you care to explain that?", asked Remae. Remae took a breath while he waited for an answer. (Reply from Beal) "So, I look like a member of your crew, but I am really Remae but just not the Remae you knew." Beal seemed to take all this in and after a moment he said, "So, how's Jana?" Remae didn't expect that, a million images flooded his mind but he regained his composure. "Under the authority of the 52nd Command, I am assuming Command of the Phantom, you don't have any authority on a lost ship", said Remae and walked out of the Ready Room leaving Tahl behind. (USS Phantom, Ready Room – CO, Remae Ktell – 2130) The computer had completed its work and extrapolated a course, "Lay in a course and engage at maximum warp, they have at least two hours on us. Let's go", ordered the new CO of the Phantom. (Reply from Tahl, Any) (Posted by Anthony Keen) (USS Spectre, Bridge – CO, Captain Remae Ktell – 2130) The Spectre was well on her way to her new destination. The outwardly appearance of the Bajoran masking the cool, calm and deadly nature of the woman underneath, looked around at her domain. She looked down at the CONN position; Banowsky was down there doing his job in keeping the ship on course to their new destination. No-one was around, the majority of the crew had been put off the ship, but they had less then a skeleton crew now, and if they had any hope of running the ship properly, they needed more people. "Conner to all hands, assault team detail report to the Bridge", she said as she closed the channel, they had little time and they had to prepare. (USS Spectre, Bridge – CO, Captain Remae Ktell – 2145) "... and so, the Spectre will provide a bombardment of torpedoes as the assault team transports down. We'll have 3 minutes at most before the squadron of fighters can be in a position to oppose us. Get in, find the people we are looking for and get out, we'll do the rest." Danielle looked at the team, they needed a crew and most of the people she knew were located here, at this Federation Detention Centre. They needed a crew and so they were going to get one, the old fashioned way, they were going to take what they needed.

We'll have 3 minutes at most before the squadron of fighters can be in a position to oppose us. Get in, find the people we are looking for and get out, we'll do the rest." The CMO waited for Conner to finish. As the assault team started to leave he stepped towards her/him. "Conner, Sickbay is fully operational. I would send the Orian as medical support. She is a slave so her loss will not be great." ~If she does not die down on the planet then I'll just kill her here. She has been lacking of late.~ (Reply Conner/Remae) "Conner there are also a couple of Mako Fighters in the compound’s hanger. I want to take a small team to get them." ~It would be wonderful to get my hands on a fighter again. Think of all the changes I could make. I could finally show those fools in SEC that the Neural Interface for fighters worked. So what if the pilots got subdural haemorrhaging that is hardly my fault.~ (Reply Conner/Remae) (Reply Conner/Remae, any) (Posted by Robbie) (USS Spectre, Bridge, CO, Captain Remae Ktell - 21.50) "Conner, there are also a couple of Mako Fighters in the compounds hanger. I want to take a small team to get them." Danielle looked over at the CMO... "Fighters eh? Could be an asset, sure, permission granted but you'll have to beam close in to the hangar and get them back before we leave, we aren't going to wait for you." "Make some room in the Shuttle Bay, that place was nearly full when I was last down there", she said to anyone listening. The Spectre was about an hour away from their destination and they were cloaked, no-one was going to spot them. (Reply from Any) (Posted by Anthony Keen) (USS Spectre, Bridge – CMO, Craig Backhand/Williams – 2152) "Fighters eh? Could be an asset, sure, permission granted but you'll have to beam close in to the hangar and get them back before we leave, we aren't going to wait for you." The Craig nodded and then turned away. "Craig to engineering; I need some space in shuttle bay 2 and the dropship bay to be cleared. I also need some portable tractor emitters and to engineering equipment put there for my return." (Reply any from engineering) ~Well that is good. I'll get a chance to do a bit of tinkering on the Makos.~ "CMO to Steve Furrows. I need some good pilots with combat experience to help steel some Mako fighters. Can you give me some suggestions?" (Reply Furrows) (Reply engineering, Furrows, any) (Posted by Robbie) (Fighter Beta – Pilot Officer Clark – 2300) "Yawn." =^= Sorry two, what was that? =^= David spun his Mako Fighter around, he was flying backwards but looking at his lead-pilot's fighter, he gave him a little wave. "Look at the time, skipper, I'm bored, there’s NOTHING out here. We've been flying around for hours... let's call it a night", he said already knowing what his superior was going to say. So, they did another flight around the Centrani Penal Colony, the planet looked bad enough from orbit, rain and dankness, that's all that was waiting for him down there and up here, all he had was a patrol route to fly, again and again. It's not as if anything was going to happen... they were privileged, some Federation Starship was in orbit, David didn't know the name of it or what class it was, just that it was here supplying up, the crew hadn't stepped foot on the planet, probably a good idea. =^=3D Follow Me =^= The lead Mako accelerated away, another patrol was underway.
