Ornixen was just finishing his dinner when the claxon's went off.
=/\="RED ALERT, ALL HANDS TO BATTLESTATIONS - THIS IS NOT A DRILL, REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!"=/\=
Ah, crud, why does this always happen. Firestorm, do you read
I do, sir, came the sleepy response.
The station just went to Red Alert...What is going on?
Sensors coming on-line now...I'm detecting 11 Cardassian ships, 6 Keldon Class and 5 smaller ships on an attack vector, ETA 5 minutes at half impulse.
Beam me aboard and launch immediately.
A moment later, Ornixen materialized in the Firestorm's cockpit. =/\=Firestorm to Thrinaca control, requesting launch clearance =/\=
=/\= Clearance granted, Firestorm. Fleet is gathering at the Gateway. =/\=
=/\= Acknowledged. Engaging sublight engines. =/\=
"Firestorm, raise shields and bring the weapons online. Controls to manual."
"Sensors are indicating some anomalous tachyon emissions in the area."
"Start adjusting our sensors to analyze. What are the meta-field levels in this area?"
"Low. Adjusting weapons to compensate," Firestorm reported as they cleared the station and started to accelerate towards the fleet.
"ETA to fleet?"
"30 seconds and counting....sir, the station has numerous torpedoes heading towards it."
"Accelerate to attack speed, weapons on rapid fire, target those torpedoes" Ornixen ordered as he flung the ship around and opened fire on the torpedoes, rapidly taking down nearly half of them before they hit the station's shields.
=/\= Ornixen to Admiral Targus, can we get some fighters on point defense of the station? The Cardassians are starting to focus their fire. My readings are indicating that the command deck's shields are down to 33%. =/\=
"Firestorm, is there anything we can do for the station's shields?"
"Not at this time, sir. My power systems are not compatible with Federation technology. Best we could do is extend our shields over the command deck, but at that extension, they won't hold long. They aren't exactly meant to cover a starbase."
"What I wouldn't give for a team of wizards casting a mana shell!! Adjust weapons to 360-degree coverage, we have to reduce the number of torps hitting those shields as much as possible."
"Acknowledged."
