Mission:
The Riixian Insurection
Location: Staging Area 1 The Beginning
Sheena was waiting on word that the Leto was close. Her parents were hurt, the bioweapon too close, and having to wait did not sit well at all. Having her grandparents there did help to alleviate some of the anxiety but not all. "Come on Maia push it. They don't have much time, vitals are getting weaker. Please....," she said almost in tears
=/\=Casi to Sheena, we have received word that the Leto has entered Betazed space they away team with rendezvous with you on the second moon at Niation Falls. =/\=
=/\=Sheena to Casi, understood. I Will rendezvous with you on the second moon at Niation Falls. Hurry, they won't last much longer=/\=
"Sheena I am getting way too old to go charging into danger like that, I will relay a message to your ship to have their people meet you there. Your shuttle is being prepped now. Be very careful, You are most certainly going into harm's way." Casi said.
"Casi, you are never too old to go charging into danger. You love the adrenalin rush. Besides, you have a flair for dramatics. You always did," Sheena said laughing as she prepared to board her shuttle.
=/\=Cmdr Toran to Staging area 2, preparing for liftoff to Rendevous with Leto teams. Let them know where to set down. Toran out=/\=
=/\= Acknowledged Commander Toran =/\=
Quickly Sheena took the shuttle into the atmosphere and headed for the rendezvous on the second moon. She knew the terrain and knew some spots where they could enter unnoticed to a point. Then the assault teams would have to take over while her small team headed for her parents and the weapon. That miserable weapon had made a mess of things and she was determined to put it out of commission.
It wasn't long before they approached the staging area on the second moon but now they had to stay hidden till everyone was together and ready to begin the assault.
The runabout approached the second moon and was challenged by a sentry ship.
=/\=This is patrol one to approaching runabout what is your purpose here?=/\=
a few seconds passed.
=/\=I repeat, this is patrol one to approaching runabout what is your purpose here?=/\=
=/\=Patrol One, this is Cmdr. Sheena Toran, our purpose? Have you not been informed by the Betazoid authorities of our presence and our mission?=/\= Sheena asked cautiously.
=/\=Negative you are entering restricted space=/\=
Brannon listened closely to what was being said, She knew that the runabouts weapons systems were not strong enough to fight the patrol craft. She hoped that CMDR Toran could find a way to bluff us through. She was already figuring out something to do if it did come to a fight. But was hoping for the best right now. Brannon waited till the link closed.
"CMDR Toran based on my information. I can destroy the Caliphate weapon from inside the runabout and it will give the rest of you a better chance of fulfilling your missions. It will leave me weak and not much help for a period of time once I finish. The weapon is far enough away from your parents that they will not be injured." Replied Brannon.
That was a welcome piece of news. "Lt. Brannon that is great but it will harm you if you do. Also both my parents are in bad shape both physically and mentally. Once I have them aboard my shuttle I am outta here. They need medical attention immediately," Sheena replied to the lieutenant. Now Sheena was a little more at ease hearing the lieutenant. Setting the shuttle down, Sheena waited for the Leto's teams to arrive.
=/\= Patrol craft to Federation Runabout proceed on scheduled flight plan =/\=
