=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10802.24-"Reflections - Look but don't see, part I"=/\=

The Alliance ship Ek'ara is well on her way to the Sol system. Supposedly, she is in need of repairs that can only be made on the ancient human world. It is very odd she would have chosen a base so far from the badlands where she was assigned ... but Klingon Captain's are not questioned. Especially this one fames for lack of bravery but a keenness to assassination.

However, that is really beyond the point for the Ek'ara was taken by the Rebellion and renamed Elara. It has been 7 months since she was taken and the crew have managed to work together. Their mission is to infiltrate the Solar system and plant the seeds of a secret attack.

But first they have to approach Earth without being caught ...

Lost says:
::at the helm of the big ship, he quickly got used to the controls but the ship still zig-zags from time to time::

Peter Pazoski says:
::on the bridge sat in perhaps the most uncomfortable chair ever created, reading through some sensor data::

Doug Greene says:
::Wandering the ship, looking for a place to set up a small, primitive medical facility::

ACTION: The Vor'cha is a big ship but with such a diminished crew, many of her systems were rigged to be controlled from a central position. Her weapons and shields were kept intact though the internal barracks were replace with storage

Dalin Tar says:
::somewhere on the bridge, checking out the various systems::

Lost says:
Peter: Hey Pete! We will be in range of the Pluto bases in ... 10 minutes

Thing says:
::Resting on top of Lyta's right shoulder, watching its surroundings with idle interest::

Ezri Lyta says:
::Going over sensor logs like she has been for a while now when not sleeping:: Self: These things are strangely fascinating...

ACTION: The Elara crew is an assortment of scruffy looking rebels. Most are human but there are 2 trills, a few Vulcans and a ...thing

Antonius Boktor says:
::Ghosting through the hallways. Feeling very unhappy for his dead father. Hitting everybody that is walking in his way::

Peter Pazoski says:
Lost: Take us in nice and easy; we don't want anyone paying us too much attention

Lost says:
Peter: well, we are kind of big not to draw attention, unless you want to use the cloaking device they don't know we have. Anyway, they are expecting us for repairs

Doug Greene says:
::Finds a room that used to be a two person quarters, a bit small for the purpose, but then they're only a small group of people::

Dalin Tar says:
::configures his console for the available systems::

Thing says:
::Begins munching on Lyta's hair::

Dalin Tar says:
Self: Damn ship. ::continues to repair things to keep the ship functioning::

Ezri Lyta says:
Peter: Pete, are you reading this? Looks like normal trade traffic in the system. I'm not sure about the bases on the moon and mars though, could pose trouble. ::brushes snowflake away from her hair::

Peter Pazoski says:
::snarls at Lost:: Lost: Just don't blast by the system markers at warp

Yellow says:
Antonius: hey hey hey! If you want to fight lets go to the cargo bay

Antonius Boktor says:
Yellow: WHAT? Huh? What, leave me alone.

Yellow says:
::rolls his eyes:: Antonius: Go annoy Pete, he can put up with you

Antonius Boktor says:
::Ends up at the bridge. Hitting the wall, time after time after time.:: Self: Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Peter Pazoski says:
::turns to the Trill and smiles a grim smile:: Ezri: There aint anything in this system that is more trouble than us, but keep an eye out nevertheless, I want us to be the only suprise package today

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Hey Pazoski, Pluto base on the comm.

Lost says:
Peter: Yes yes I read the standard protocols. We will make our way to the Earth orbiting repair station and from then on ...only you know

Peter Pazoski says:
::smiles at Lost:: Lost: Isn’t it exciting!

ACTION: In his mumbling about, Boktor ends up bumping into Ezri and the Thing falls to the floor

Peter Pazoski says:
Dalin: Put them on speaker only

Antonius Boktor says:
::Paces around like an polar bear looking for a new prey.::

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Think of some ID and orders. Here ya go. ::hopes the audio is still functioning::

Antonius Boktor says:
::Stopped by bumping into Ezri, and wants to hit him instantly.::

Klingon base says:
#::a harsh Klingon voice, barely understandable over the translator::COM: Elara: This is Solar checkpoint 1, Identify yourself and state your purpose!

Thing says:
::Growls in annoyance at Bokotor's direction. Shaking, it leaps over his Human shoulder and lands on top of Boktor head, beginning to bite at earnest::

Ezri Lyta says:
::Nods, slightly distracted by snowflake::

Ezri Lyta says:
Boktor: Oi watch it! She's fragile.

Peter Pazoski says:
::grumbles in his best Klingon:: COM: Klingon Base: This is the Ek'ara, we are here for repairs

Antonius Boktor says:
Ezri: That is not my problem, is it? I lost my dad in the battle! I need to find my place.

Ezri Lyta says:
Boktor: That doesn't mean you have to take it out on everyone else, all of us have lost family or people close to us.

Antonius Boktor says:
::Starts pacing around again. In front of the Captains seat. At a pace a cheetah is jealous about.::

Klingon base says:
#::a moment passes and the sound of things breaking and falling is heard:: COM: Elara: We have you on the list. Send us your encrypted ID and proceed on the course we will give you. And don't catch any bugs! ::laughs::

Thing says:
::Getting no resistance from the head it's biting it continues leisurely biting his way on it's head::

Peter Pazoski says:
::watches Boktor pace up and down in front of him and laughs down the comm:: COM: Klingon Base: Ek'ara out. ::indicates to Dalin to cut the comm::

Dalin Tar says:
::closes the channel and sends the encrypted ID::

ACTION: The com is cut and on the viewscreen a new course can be seen going by Saturn, the asteroid belt, and to Earth

Peter Pazoski says:
::watches Boktor for a few more seconds before growling at him:: Boktor: If you don't stop pacing in front of me I will stop you.

Dalin Tar says:
::reroutes the route he received to the helm::

Peter Pazoski says:
Lost: Reset course to match

Antonius Boktor says:
Pazowski: Else? Well go ahead! :: Walks away and goes to sit down at the wall.::

Doug Greene says:
::Finishes setting up shop in the small room and starts making his way to the bridge::

Peter Pazoski says:
::stands up and walks over to Boktor, whispers quietly to him:: Boktor: Antonius, I miss your father as much as you do, but we have a job to do here, I cannot use you like you are, lose the chip on your shoulder.

Lost says:
Peter: So we will arrive there in about half an hour since we will have to drop from warp before the belt

Antonius Boktor says:
All: What is that, on me. Eeek,  HELPPPPP!

Antonius Boktor says:
::Panic is going over him.::

ACTION: The Elara drops from warp near the rings of Saturn, which fill the viewscreen. For some of the humans aboard it’s the first time they see the ringed planet

Thing says:
::Gets bored, giving it's resting place one last bite it leaps back towards the direction of its Humanoid::

Dalin Tar says:
::nice rings::

Peter Pazoski says:
::raises his voice:: All: Listen Up!

Lost says:
::startled, looks up:: Self: Didn't know you had it in you, Petey

Doug Greene says:
::Enters the bridge and looks around to see where he could make himself useful::

Antonius Boktor says:
::Tries to listen to Pazoski, but it irritated by the thing on his head.::

Thing says:
::Climbs on top of Lyta's head once again::

Peter Pazoski says:
All: I know you all want to know what we are doing here.  For too long this galaxy has been under the oppression of the alliance, the people need a symbol, something to give them hope.  Today we give them that hope, today the Rebellion retakes Earth from the Alliance.

Lost says:
Self: Is that today today or today metaphorically?

Peter Pazoski says:
All: Our job is the pave the way for our brothers and sisters in the attack wave.  Our job is to remove Earths defence systems and sow as much chaos in the alliance ships as possible.  Our goals are simple, planetary and system wide communications, orbital defence batteries and any else we can come up with.

Antonius Boktor says:
Pazoski: With one ship???

Peter Pazoski says:
::smiles a grim little smile:: Boktor: Yes Boktor, with this one ship.  Scared?

Antonius Boktor says:
::Pazoski seems to be able to reroute his anger.:: Pazoski: No. But scratch my name on the list of the aggressors. I am going to follow you.

ACTION: On the viewscreen the rings approach menacingly but the ship continues on its plotted course

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Nice speech, Mars base asking our ID again

Peter Pazoski says:
Tar: Send it then.

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Already did.

Antonius Boktor says:
::Stands up, and stretches his clothes. Checks his weapon, and walks over to Pazoski.:: Pazoski: What post do you have in mind for me? LET’S HIT THEM HARD!

Peter Pazoski says:
All: What I need from you though ladies and gentlemen, is the plan on how we accomplish our goals.  We know our targets; it’s up to us to find the weak spots - suggestions?

Antonius Boktor says:
Pazoski: Well... let’s scan the satellites; take them out one by one. Never leave a trail behind.

Peter Pazoski says:
Boktor: I think the Alliance might notice if we knock their satellites out one by one, we need to hit them all at once, just before our fleet arrives.

Lost says:
::as the ships moves in on auto pilot he approaches Ezri and starts petting the Thing::

Thing says:
::Attempts to bite Lost's hand::

Antonius Boktor says:
Pazoski: But how? If he delete them at this side, they are still available at the opposite side? Unless.... we do it fast!

Lost says:
Thing: aow, you evil thing ::pats it:: Peter: I say we send Ezri's friend and unleash it in the orbital stations

Peter Pazoski says:
Lost: Tempting Lost, tempting.

Peter Pazoski says:
Boktor: That's what we have to work out.

Ezri Lyta says:
Lost: You touch him, you get this. ::Flashes a knife blade for a fraction of a second::

Antonius Boktor says:
Pazoski: On the other hand... I am not sure how good our technicians are, but they could build a virus. A virus that de-stabilises the satellites.

Lost says:
Ezri: I have one to ::looks up and returns to his seat::

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Pazoski, perhaps this damned ship is capable of sending out some sort of disruptive waves. I can try to find out.

Thing says:
::Leans back and leaps towards Lost's direction, ending on his face, claws hanging on for dear life as it moves its gaping maw towards Lost's face::

Peter Pazoski says:
All: What about if we don't try and disable the satellites, but rather take control of them, the Alliance wouldn't expect to be fired upon by their own guns - do we think its possible

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Pazoski, Earth requesting the same bloody things. Sending them again

Peter Pazoski says:
::watches The Thing for a moment:: Ezri: Keep your pet under control or keep it out of my way

Antonius Boktor says:
Peter: Peter, do we have enough people to get over there? Or do you need a virus that helps us taking control. I have some experience in building it. But I need some help. ::Big Grin::

ACTION: Earth is now clearly visible on the screen. Few rebels were ever that close. A large dry dock is ready for the big Vor'cha

Ezri Lyta says:
Peter: it only wants to play...

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Pazoski, what repairs do we need?

Peter Pazoski says:
Boktor: Use whomever you need.

Peter Pazoski says:
::snaps:: Dalin: What? Repairs? Use your imagination if it’s the Alliance asking.

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: You want engineers on board or not?

Peter Pazoski says:
Ezri: It can play later when every Alliance member in this system is dead.

Ezri Lyta says:
Pete: Sensors are picking up several orbital defences...make that a large number about 100 satellites as well as two defence stations. This could get very ugly.

Antonius Boktor says:
Peter: OK.

Peter Pazoski says:
::gives Tar the "what kind of stupid question is that" look:: Dalin: Yes, and make sure they bring plenty of Alliance security with them, we need some fun... Of course, we don’t want engineers brought onboard.

Antonius Boktor says:
All: Who can help me, to build a virus that helps to get all satellites under our control?

Dalin Tar says:
Peter: Don't think I lack the experience, I've got more then you've got.

Peter Pazoski says:
Ezri: To them we are just another alliance vessel; see if you can find out how they are all linked together.

Ezri Lyta says:
Peter: Not to mention I can't get a lock on the number of armed ships out there, this place is a fortress.

Dalin Tar says:
::sends a message they can patch the hull from the outside and beam in some parts we install ourselves::

ACTION: The Elara enters the dry dock and settles down. Below, northern Europe and the Atlantic are clearly visible

Peter Pazoski says:
::rounds on Tar:: Dalin: We can exchange war stories later, perhaps sing a couple songs round the campfire.  In the meantime just do your job, or we are as good as dead.

Lost says:
Antonius: I might be able to help you if no one else will

Peter Pazoski says:
Ezri: A fortress yes, but in ancient earth history fortresses are only as strong as their weakest link... then they turn into graves...

Antonius Boktor says:
::Walks over to a station, clears it and waves to Lost.:: Lost : Get over here. This is a good station to work on.

ACTION: The Klingons accept the return of their vessel right in the middle of the Solar system. So far, no one suspects her true intentions. How long will it remain that way?
