Mission: Mission 82 - The Aggressor
Location: Cestus III
Timeline: mission plus 43 hours

Andrew pointed at the helm officer, "Engage". He tapped his comm badge again, "Clifford to Major Crespin! Leave the away team we will be back with them in four minutes, load the coordinates of the Avenger from our console and head over there, best speed. We will join you shortly".

Yamaguchi felt conflicted, on one side she wished to see the mission through untill the end and leaving her post in what could easily turn into a combat scenario which bothered her, when was also requested and required to join the crew of the USS Saratoga, which she knew had a lot meaner weapons on that Cruiser then this frigate did.

Yamaguchi removed the compiece from her left ear as she sighed softly, clearly her work here was finished. "Sir, we may not be able to get close enough to the Saratoga to beam over... I'd like to use a shuttle instead..."

Andrew nodded, "Understood, Lt Commander. But be carefull and don't launch until the Saratoga is as close as possible. Carry on."

Andrew watched the two officers head for the door. The recall signal to the Saratoga had already been sent and it was barrelling back towards them at high warp. It was unlikely they would be in space for more than 10 minutes tops. But that was still long enough for a cloaked ship to upset the party. He stopped to think for a moment. Yamaguchi was good at her job and if there had been any sensor anomolies she would have picked them up. It would all depend on whether the Gorn were getting help and from who. If it was Romulan level tech, then a cloaked ship would be virtually undetectable whoever was manning the tactical station.

Finally he made a mental note to add a commendation to everyones record for the way they had handled themselves here. it had not been an easy mission and it wasn't over yet.

He tapped his badge again, "USS Kearsarge to USS Avenger."

Sitting down in the centre seat he waited for the away team to respond to his hail and make themselves ready for return to the ship.


USS Buraq

The Away Team were back on the bridge. The bodies of the crew had all been transported to the Kearsage but the scene was still grim; twisted metals and plastics, wires fused, a few spent weapons here and there. Lieutenant Quan had done what he could in Engineering, the ship was only just serviceable. He was patched in to the AutoPilot program when the message came over from the Kearsage.

Tressa tapped her commbadge, "Acknowledged, Kearsage." She watched the damaged main screen as their ship left the Buraq, "We're on our own for the moment, gentlemen. Can this lady get back under her own power?"

Quan looked up from the panel he was working from, "Whenever you give the order, Lt Commander. I have basic navigation and....", he looked up at a panel above his head, "impulse power is up to 27%".

"You set coordinates for the Starbase?" she asked. He nodded in assent. "Let's get her on her way. Everyone else back on the shuttle, I'll inform the Kearsage that we're departing."

Quan nodded, "It is done, Lt Commander. It will be slow but the ship will head away from the border and deeper into Federation space. ETA with the nearest starbase 42 years, so a tug may be in order".


USS Avenger:

Maal was in engineering with his team. Things wheren't looking too good right bout now. They were having problems with stuff all over the ship.

USS Kearsarge:

Lt Commander Torilla Yamaguchi knew she needed to hurry and as a result she had had the foresight to pack light as she tossed all of her gear into her duffel that she carried since she was crossdecking over to the USS Saratoga.

She sighed softly as she recalled her rifle that she had carried with her as she slipped her duffel over her shoulder and out the door she went, next stop was the armory.

What seemed like hours later but in actuality was only minutes because she was rushing, she emerged into the hanger where a shall shutle was waiting, it was clearlt ready for departure, she recognized the design as a Type Eight shuttle, she stepped onto the shuttle through the sizeable hatch in the aft of the shuttle as she took a moment to secure her duffel and rifle.

She then sat down next to the Colonel as she took the conn and she sighed softly. "Colonel. we're ready to go." she checked the sensor display for the second time as she said her statement, she noticed the Saratoga was rapidly approching their position.

Col. Hurd looked over and replied to the Commander, in a low voice, ''Aye Comander, lets get underway.'' He finshed speaking, and took a quick glance over the sensor read-out's, and Smiled. His ship was on her way.

On the bridge of the Kearsarge they watched the shuttle launch and head off towards the fast approaching USS Saratoga.
Andrew order the view screen back to forward view, "Right everyone, lets get the away team back on board and get over to the Avenger." He tapped his comm badge, "Clifford to Major Crespin, report please."
