Rose and Zack are down there, Syell thought. We cannot abandon them. He was decided to voice his opinion to anyone who would listen to him that as long as they remained in doubt about the lifes of the stranded away team, they should not leave orbit. The explosion hit the ship hard, causing Syell to strain to avoid being sent reeling. Before Mishtak departed to the Ready Room, he reviewed the reports from all decks on his station. "The crew reports nothing but minor injuries and damages from our accident with the relays."
Syell was alone on the Bridge the moment the attack happened. Immediately, his instincts for command took over. One task had been taken from him yet by Lieutenant Xena and that was to get Mishtak back to the Bridge. "Evasive Maneouvers!" he commanded. "Lieutenant, can you identify the enemy vessel?"
If we identify them as something not encountered before, we might be able to reason with them by hailing them.

Mishtak was entering the bridge when another shot hit the ship, sending him off balance and into a nearby console that he grabbed for balance.
"Report! What are we dealing with here?"
He made his way to tactical, to see Xena's scans for himself before returning to the captain's chair. There had been nothing useful on her screen, it was an unidentified ship. 'Figures there'd be unidentified ships in an uncharted area of the universe... gotta love it.' he thought to himself.
"Do we have any working sensors?"
Then he had another thought as he sat back in the seat...
"Xena, if the sensors are not able to assist in aiming, try using the view screen to manually aim phasers. Load torpedo banks. Get me the best lock you can and fire a warning shot into their aft section. Then open a hailing frequency, it's possible their way of saying hello is to open fire so let's respond in kind."
He was no longer having an emotional breakdown over the loss of the away team, he was now solely focused on preserving the lives of the rest of the crew...

It was Syell who made the report that was ordered to make, before vacating the Captain's chair. "Sir, an unidentified ship attacked us," he told the acting Captain. "I have ordered evasive maneouvers, and I suggest we hail them to make sure this is not a terrible misunderstanding." He hadn't fathomed the lack of sensors from the blowup in the relays that happened just moments ago, but he let Mishtak take care of that.

He listened as he heard Mishtak order him to get his wound looked at, Zephelor answered "Nothing to worry about sir, my simbiot can handle a little scratch." He observed as the CO left the bridge.
Moments later an explosion rocked the ship, he knew they were under attack, but by what he couldn't know, the sensors were still offline.
With all the commotion going on Zephelor got an idea, he noticed that Mishtak had returned on the bridge. Zephelor announced "Sir, we could launch a probe and use it's sensors until I am able to get the ship sensors online".
He awaited an answer from Mishtak. While he waited he continued working to get those sensors online. He knew t hose sensors couldn't be down any longer, he needed to at least find a way to get minimal sensors online for a start anyways.

Larkin followed him out and and assumed the first officers chair. He looked around the bridge. And saw the hell that was being unleashed. He then looked directly at helm. "Helm, transfer full control of the helm to me, NOW!" Larkin said not willing to take another hit, time soar so to speak.
\\"All hands, this is Commander Reinhardt, brace yourselves"// With that helm completed transfer and the ship lurched hard to the left to dodge another salvo of fire. Larkin was doing a phenomenal job avoiding enemy fire, indeed, they completely stopped since he took control of helm but his maneuvers were putting a strain on the ships hull.
"Captain Mishtak if you're going to return hot death in variety of exciting flavors, now is the time to do so!" Larkin said Larkin said grunting to get the ship under control the to the naked eye nothing was out of the ordinary, especially after that summersualt he just did. No ship this size was designed to do that.

In the meantime, Executive functions were still being reviewed by Syell, who had now sat down in the Second Officer's chair in the command centre. "I'm getting reports of hull breaches on decks 12 and 13. Structural integrity is weakening, sir," he said to Commander Reinhardt and Mishtak. "Whatever awesome maneouver you just made, we'd better not have to do it too often. It's putting strain on the hull." He was impressed, though. In all previous lifes of the Symbiont, he had never seen such a maneouver performed with a ship this size. Besides, if it kept them alive, what did a few hull breaches matter?
"I'd suggest hailing them, finding out what the hell is going on," he suggested. "If they don't respond, we can always try to disable their weapons systems and try again."

"I'd suggest hailing them, finding out what the hell is going on," he suggested. "If they don't respond, we can always try to disable their weapons systems and try again."
"Make it so, and if they don't respond in three seconds, you are to target there warp drive, propulsion systems, and their weapons array at once. Attack us, we'll make them sitting ducks!" larkin said as he made another hard turn to the right dodging phasor fire.
"Have Engineering tap into the warp core and transfer some the raw energy into the stabilization fields on the hull breaches of the damaged decks. That should buy is enough time to establish contact, or be rid of them." He said as the ship took a sharp dive.

"Make it so, and if they don't respond in three seconds, you are to target there warp drive, propulsion systems, and their weapons array at once. Attack us, we'll make them sitting ducks!"
Zephelor moved back over to his front console and opened hailing frequencies "opening hailing frequencies" , moments later a response came in. Zephelor said "they are responding, putting it on the main viewer". Zephelor quickly pressed some more buttons and put the transmission through to the view screen.
Moments had passed and a figure appeared on the view screen, the background was barely lit and you could hardly make out a figure, but by the looks it was an aquatic type specie.
With that the figure started to speak "asth Thetic Spektic..." Zephelor looked down at his console and noticed the translator was having difficulties translating, he pressed a few buttons and it seemed to fix the problem. The creature continued "You have violated our space, your ship shall be destroyed!".
Zephelor looked at the acting CO and waited to see what his response to the threat would be."

None of what was unfolding was any good news. And those orders; yeah right! Maybe people forgot about fused relays and other damaged systems. Not to mention sickbay filled up just a bit so they had less officers. The ship also had a few blown out consoles. This ship was in no shape for battle of any sorts!
Xena cut the transmission. "I have a suggestion. One of which will keep us from blowing up, and taking anymore damage." Xena informed. "We use our warp drive, before they destroy it, and get the bloody hell out of here! Once we are repaired we can come back for our crew."

Larkin scoffed at the idea of fleeing, besides he had control of the helm no and they so far had not taken any more damage. He then looked to Mishtak to see what he wanted to be done. He hoped that Mishtak would see his things his way. Fleeing would have its advantages and disadvantages, so would staying and prolonging conflict. What to do. What do do.

He let his command crew do their thing as he attempted to figure out what to do next, when the com line had been opened he heard they had violate someone's space then came further suggestions... it was almost overwhelming...
"We cannot leave until we know what happened to the away team, even if we leave for repairs who knows what these people may do to our crew in the meantime..."
Then he looked at Larkin...
"Prepare to execute the following maneuvers on my mark, Picard Alpha two, Riker Beta five and Kirk Epsilon three. Hold position."
He then turned back on the com line, stood up and approached the view screen for a more face to face meeting. First contact on his watch had to start with phaser fire didn't it...
"I am Mishtak, captain of this vessel. We were unaware that we had violated anyone's space. You have opened fire an a ship of exploration. We will be on our way as soon as we recover our lost crew members from the surface of this planet, in the meantime I suggest we call a cease fire between our ships. All I ask is that you grant us the time we need to locate and retrieve our people."
'and if you don't like it I'll blast you to kingdom come to rescue them.' He thought to himself.
He moved back toward his chair and silenced his end of the conversation and looked around the senior staff and then at Xena
"Not that your idea isn't feasible, but I'd like to keep the option of fleeing as a last resort, for all we know these people have the away team held captive. We need to find out more about them..."
He looked at Krax
"I need an ETA on when the sensors will be operational as well as an ETA on how soon you can launch three probes to triangulate the positions and assist in a counter attack. The counter attack will take place during the execution of the Kirk maneuver if it comes to that, lets all hope for a peaceful resolution for the time being."
Yes he wanted a peaceful resolution, because that's what Starfleet usually wanted. He was certainly not going to tell the rest of the crew that the Klingon battle chant was constantly going through his head, nor was he going to mention that his Klingon blood was singing for combat. No, he needed to conduct himself as a starfleet officer first, and the duty of a starship captain was to protect their crew.

"You are trespassing and will be destroyed!" The comm was cut and the ship resumed fire. Phasers and photons oh my!
Sparks continued to fly on the bridge, and else where on the ship. "We are loosing structural integrity and life support." Xena reported from her station which she had to brush some rubble off of it a few times. Staying and fighting she was usually for, but not in this case. The ship shook yet again! "With all due respect, if we couldn't detect the away team when the Orion was operational what makes you think they can?" This isn't tactically sound! The ship shook again. "Weapons are down!"

"Prepare to execute the following maneuvers on my mark, Picard Alpha two, Riker Beta five and Kirk Epsilon three. Hold position."
Larkin smirked and input the orders exactly. He waited now for Mishtak to give the go ahead. Good. Mishtak had no intention of leaving. He heard Mishtak talk of a possible counter attack that would take place during the Kirk maneuver. He then heard Mishtak say that he wanted to try and resolve this peacefully. Larkin could help but smile. Mishtak would indeed make a fine Captain in Starfleet one day if he stuck with Starfleet.
"Give'em peace, or give'em hell, one way or another we're going to be giving them something." Larkin held the ship steady and for the first time since Larkin had helm control transfered to him the bulk heads stopped screaming and the hull relaxed. Larkin than padded the console. "Hold together baby, hold together for daddy, just a little longer. Come on." His padding went to gently stroking the console as if he was pleading with it.

Syell was as bloody determined as Mishtak to get the crew members back, whatever the cost. The reasonable youth was gone as Chrym's instincts for 'whatever the cost' surfaced. "We have to get them back!" he said forcefully. "We'd better get the attackers' weapons destroyed fast!" He went through the Executive reports. "More hull breaches popping up, there's more than I can list!"
"But we have to keep going," he couldn't say it enough. "Let Engineering get those weapons up! Use a deflector beam, even! We need to get the away team back." He was forcefully expressing his opinion. What am I doing? "If that's not wrong of me to say," he said more serenely, more like the host Syell.

"You are trespassing and will be destroyed!"
'Have it your way.' he thought as the comm was cut...
The impact of the resuming fire knocked him to the floor as the ship shook...
"We are loosing structural integrity and life support."
"Today IS a good day to die!" he said getting back to his feet, he was a warrior by birth, blood and choice. He had never in his life, ever, run out on a fight and he did not want this to be his first retreat...
Another hit and he was thrown into the chair he was aiming for...
"With all due respect, if we couldn't detect the away team when the Orion was operational what makes you think they can?"
She had a point, and a darn good one too...
"Weapons are down!"
and there it was, the absolute worst news he had heard all day... No weapons meant no counter attack which meant they had only two choices, retreat and return later or be destroyed... he hated both options but had to act in the best interest of the ship and her crew...
"Give'em peace, or give'em hell, one way or another we're going to be giving them something."
"My thoughts exactly Commander..."
He had regained some composure, but they were still in pretty bad shape...
"Hold together baby, hold together for daddy, just a little longer. Come on."
This was not a fight they could win, they were outgunned for now and clearly the other ship had a fully functioning sensors array. He sighed heavily as he gave his orders...
"Retreat. Execute Janeway Alpha four, bring us around to two seven zero point five, proceed with Picard Beta nine on a heading of two seven six point one at warp two. Hold that course for five minutes then bring us to a complete stop..."
Looking at Xena
"...Get weapons and shields back on line preferably before we stop, and someone get those blasted sensors working again..."
Sitting back in his seat he made a motion with his hands, similar to the one Picard had always used.
"...Engage!"
He would have to wait for battle at another time, today may have been a good day to die, and perhaps it still would be, but the time was not yet right. They would be back, and it would be the other vessel that would suffer the wrath of an angry Klingon with a full compliment of torpedoes...
