Mission: M8: The Kzinti War!!!!
Location: En Route to & In the Yadalla System

[Kzinti Forces]

High Admiral Grel-Tagr waited patiently as his armada sped towards the Yadalla system. They had heard the transmission from the Achilles and he was not concerned in the slightest. Whatever smattering of starships the Federation could muster in response to the call to arms wouldn't stand a chance against them.

He watched the stars streak past the ship on the main viewer and the beams of light reminded him of the 3 Talon weapon ships at his command. Twice he had seen their effect on Federation Star Bases...his anticipation grew as we would soon see their power unleashed against a planet.


[USS Achilles]

"Incoming hail Captain. "It's Admiral Alphonse."

"On Screen."

“It’s good to see your still in one piece Captain.†Dirk said when the image came up.

The word of a Federation fleet already on the move was reassuring. "It's good to be back Admiral. Our intel reports there is approximately 250 ships headed your way. We are in pursuit but it sounds like the fight will start before we get there...be sure to save some of them four us."

“We will try.†Dirk replied with a grin. “Just get here before we are finished then.â€

"Not to worry Admiral, we'll be there...Da`nal out."

As the screen went black he stood and moved to the front console. Putting his hand on Ens. Logan's shoulder. "Our ETA?"

She swallowed, knowing what was to come. "73 minutes...mark."

Da`nal turned to face the rest of the bridge crew. The bridge was already darkened, the red glow of their alert status. Those on the bridge were all seasoned warriors, skilled and hardened, that left little that needed to be said as they all knew what was expected of them. "Prepare for Multi Vector Assault mode. Ens. Logan, Lt Mason, you're with me."

"Acknowledged," Ciara said as she got up. She alerted her crew and made her way to the Lower Stardrive Section. She did not regard herself a warrior, but here she was, ready to engage in battle once again. ~When will this ever end?~

[Achilles – Upper Dive Section]

A short time later Da`nal and the bridge crew for his section of the Achilles stepped out of the lift and assumed their stations. "Hail the VaQbach."


Kre received the transmission and accepted the open channel. =/= What do you want? =/= he asked Da'nal.

=^= We will be separating the ship shortly. Whatever we find there I plan to target their command ship. The other primary target should be the Kzinti weapon ships. =^=

[VaQbach Bridge]

=/=Understood =/= Kre concurred. =/= We will focus on them and give them hell! tIqIpqu' 'ej nom tIqIp. [Hit them hard and hit them fast] Qapla'! Kretorg out. =/=

"Ho'S'a, you will fire the torpedoes, bring them online maximum yield!"

HoS'a' stepped up to a configurable station and switched it to tactical. he began the pre-fire solutions and loaded full compliments into the tubes, 3 with Photons, 5 with Quantums. This class of ship was designed to sit outside of disruptor range and fire long range assault, but the torpedoes were less effective against shielded craft so he would need to monitor carefully what effect the other ships were having and then rain fire.

"All stations prepare for battle!"


[Achilles Bridge]

As the screen returned to the exterior view Da`nal looked to the crew. They were worn as was the ship. Their mission had never intended for them to engage the enemy, let alone go from one fight to another. And the fight to come was going to be like nothing most of them had ever encountered; only seen in their history classes at the academy.

Taking his seat he opened an internal channel to address the crew. “Attention all hands, this is your Captain. Our new enemy was again sent forces into Federation Territory and we are now moving to join the Federation fleet to intercept them. Many of you may be morning the loss of friend or family lost on SB 517, all of you have already gone through more than other member of Starfleet will in their entire career. I will not dishonor you by lying or downplaying the task ahead, but we have faced the odds before…and we have beaten the odds! We shall do so again! Battle Stations!â€

[Achilles – Engineering]

Sascha heard the call to battle stations and sat up from his chair in Main Engineering, looking up at the ceiling in disbelief. He'd only just joined the Fleet and had been laboring under the impression that battle was something Starfleet saw very rarely, but here again they were in a fight and here again he was expected to keep the engines, weapons and other power systems functioning - all across three sections.

Outside his office, the crew was all but running about Engineering, trying to get to their stations. Tugging down the sleeve of his uniform, Sascha walked deliberately to the large pool table and engaged the terminal to show him all three sections. As he did, Master Chief Petty Officer Marlin stepped up to the table and looked up at Oakheart.

"God help us all." he muttered quickly before turning about and barking new orders to the crew.


[KWS Blood lust]

Charg and his skeleton crew were still getting accustomed to the Kzinti vessel even as the sped towards the battle zone. Not the best way to go into battle. They had concentrated their efforts on the primary systems and would worry about the others later…if they survived. By his calculations the two fleets should be facing off at any moment…

[Kzinti Armada]

As the huge Armada neared their target they were all supremely confident of their success. The Admiral was almost disappointed that Yadalla wasn't a military target, but that would come soon enough.

"Admiral, I am reading a large fleet on an intercept course. Federation signatures."

The Admiral grinned devilishly. "GOOD! Have the Talons and their escorts continue to Yadalla Prime. We shall deal with these Fleeters in short order and join them.

"ALL SHIPS DROP TO NORMAL SPACE & PREPARE FOR BATTLE!"
