OFF: I'm sad to see no one has posted since the COs' big JP. Come on, post up!

ON:


The ship took the lead in her group and sped toward the Klingon ships. First firing photon torpedoes, but as she got closer quantum torpedoes and phasers joined in. The Klingons put up tremendous fire as well> Torpedoes, disruptor beams and pulses streaked toward the Federation ships.

"Shields are down to seventy-one percent." Harrison reported as another Bird of Prey exploded head, fire from the Avenger and Venator doing her in.

"As we pass, target Toral's ship, knock out his weapons. If we can get him to run, the rest of the Klingons should break off too." Bremer ordered.




"Mr. Smith, we're losing power to the shields!" K`Temoc called to his Chief Engineer over the comm.

"That last his ruptured power couplings and EPS relays to the shield generators, we're working on it." Smith replied.

K`Temoc looked at the tactical display showing their shields were down to forty percent, "Maintain our position in formation Colonel. Mister Darr, target the closest ships as we pass, weapons, engines, whatever you have a shot on!"




"Admiral, we're receiving damage reports from several ships. Now that the Klingons have formed up, they are getting their hits in, but we've managed to knock out about half of their ships, Birds of Prey and Vorcha's. All three of the Negh'Vars are still in the fight though." Harrison said as she read though the messages on her tactical display.

As the Pegasus rocked from additional hits from the Klingons. "Chief, prepare to adjust our course. I want to come up beneath one of the Negh'Vars." Mike then looked over at the Ensign at the Intel/Communications position. "Ensign, have the ships in our group push their attack, keep the Klingons engaged." Mike stood as he finished...

"Chief...reduce speed to half impulse, Captain cloak us. Once we're cloaked bring us under the Klingon line." Bremer ordered.

In space, Pegasus was taking several disruptor hits and then suddenly slowed as if she had taken damage. As the Yorktown, Avenger, Venator, and Vanguard passed her, the Pegasus cloaked, then changed her course. She increased speed dropping down below the Klingons before turning back up to face the Klingon ships' underside. As she closed in, one of the Negh'Vars disappeared...

As tactical beeped, Harrison spoke up, "Admiral, one of the Negh'Vars cloaked, its General Tarq's ship!"

Mike looked up at the view screen, then spoke to himself...`What's he doing?` "Captain, lock phaser cannon on the lead Negh'Var." Mike knew Toral we never lead an assault himself, so the trailing Negh'Var would be his. "Fire as soon as we decloak, but keep an eye out...I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of General Tarq."




The small Defiant class ship moved in on the Klingon ships, her pulse phasers and quantum torpedoes ripped into a Vorcha, which the Vanguard quickly destroyed. She then turned her attention to a Bird of Prey, but as she fired she took several hits of her own...

"Colonel, evasive maneuvers, gamma sequence. Keep us close to our friends. With our shields so weak, we could be picked off easily if we move off alone." K'Temoc said from the Captain's chair.



As the Pegasus closed in, they saw the Yorktown, Avenger, Venator, and Vanguard pass though the Klingon line, firing at each other at point blank range, before moving though and then turning to attack again. Once in range, the Pegasus decloaked and opened fire with her heavy phaser canon. The beams of energy lanced out from the ship, ripping into the Klingon vessel. After several hits, the Klingon ship stopped firing, lights went out, and she started to drift.

"Photon torpedoes as we pass." Mike sternly ordered.

As the Pegasus passed the heavily damaged ship, several bright orange photon torpedoes burst from the Pegasus's forward, then aft launchers. They streaked toward the Klingon ship and as they impacted her hull they ripped additional holes into the ship before destroying it in a ball of flame and debris.

"Nice shooting Captain." Mike looked back at Harrison with a smile, but suddenly the ship was shaken violently. The Ensign at Intel/Communications was tossed from his chair, landing hard on the deck. Bremer also was tossed to the deck.

"Admiral!" Branson called as he watched Mike fall.

"I'm fine Chief." Mike looked over at the Ensign, he was in obvious pain. "Bremer to Sick Bay, medical team to the Bridge."

As Mike pulled himself up, "Report."

"General Tarq. He decloaked as we did. Dorsal and port shields are down to fifty-two percent. We have a hull breach on deck 12, force fields in place. Damage reports are continuing to come in." Harrison replied.

"Where is he now?"

"Forming back up with Toral's group." Harrison replied to Bremer.

Mike tapped the comm on his chair arm, "Pegasus to Alpha Wing, concentrate fire on Toral's ship, target engines and weapons." As the channel closed, the Vanguard, Venator, Yorktown, and Avenger all changed their headings and moved in to attack Toral's ship. Toral's escorts were nearly gone, only one Vorcha and three Bird of Prey left as well as General Tarq's Negh'Var. Mike hoped Toral would `blink` with his ship coming under full assault, and turn and run.

"Bremer to Beta Wing, report!" Mike hadn't heard from the Saratoga, Constantinople, Laffey, Endeavor, and Steadfast. He knew they were holding the Klingon's flanking group, but he needed to know their status...
