Mission:
Peace, or Something Like It
Location: Various on board Calypso
ON
[OLD]
Sifting through many possible ideas he settled upon one that his ancestor Tommi Makinen would have recognized if viewed in the correct angle; he was going to try and flick the Calypso sideways, or at least put the idea out there and hope nobody would argue at that particular rather critical moment. "Somebody blow all port-side cargo-bays NOW! 21 seconds to Picard Maneuver XO!"
[NEW]
The ship headed by Braxton hiccupped forward right after the core dropped, cutting off the power to the weapon systems. "FIRE THEM ALL! I WANT THE CALYPSO NOW!" He was foaming at the mouth now, not realising that he didn't even have the power to keep life support running. As the ship drifted, keeping the mines close and the core within inches of the ejection port, he slammed his fist onto a council, screaming in rage. The shields were down, the weapons not working, and now sweat was pouring down his face. "Get the boarding teams secure!"
A Marine had heard the call for the port side cargo bays to be blown, and was going down that way to help with damage control. Breaking off from his squad, he sprinted down the halls, tapping his com badge. -^-Private Ketner to the Bridge, I'm on my way to blowign the port bays, any particular way you want it done?-^- He wanted to ask, but he planned on blowing them all at once. Nearing his goal, he looked around for the control panel, and growled a little. They wouldn't be in the bays, that would only be stupid. There were three bays, with a central panel on the back wll at the center bay. Rushing forward he looked over the controls, wondering what was going to be done once he blew the bays. "I hope theres no one in them," he muttered, wondering why someone would be in a deserted bay during a fight. Pressing the controls needed, he turned to the door, wondering if they were going to blow in as well, sending him into space. They didn't, but he felt the ship lurch to the right, the dampeners trying, and failing, to do anything about the massive pressure change and sudden burst of speed.
[Bridge]
Kara and one of her best Marines walked onto the bridge. Mangalia said two of her best, and that's what she had. No one would breach the bridge while she was there. She nodded to Lieutenant Commander Sinclair as the two of them took their positions.
Jerry looked at the other command staff there, as well as Ronnie. "Lancaster! Weapons readouts, now! What can we do to disable them quickly? Can we drop them probes with antimatter loaded on? Screw 'em up a little? And, excuse me, Commander, but doesn't this crate have fighters, sir?"
"They're too close for antimatter and by the time we get a probe ready and launched it may be too late," Ronnie replied. "We can, however, jam their transmission so they won't be able to coordinate their attacks. And, for the record, we do have fighters. They haven't been scrambled."
"We could scramble them, though. Give them a surprise out of our loading bays, for a change." Jaxara said with a smile.
Karma listened to the exchange and nodded. "Launch all available fighters."
[Port Phaser Array]
"Got it!" Marek cheered as he fixed the port phaser array and he did hear the call from the Bridge to repair the impulse engines. The Romulan hoped that his superior Chief Petty Officer Shalie Montgomery was on it as he packed up his kit. The specialist with Marek suggest that they check the other phaser arrays just in case and Marek agreed, so they parted ways.
=^= Lovok to Montgomery, are you working on the Impulse engines? =^= Marek called as he began his trek back to Engineering.
=A= Yes. =A=
=^= Do you need help? =^= Marek asked already on his way back to main engineering.

"Fighters are scrambling. Phasers on a recharge, but I've got torpedoes ready to roll. Phasers'll be up and ready by the time we pull your little stunt." Jaxara said with a nod.
[Shuttle bay]
Ewan had his fighter squadron in their ships and ready to launch within minutes of the order to scramble. They'd practiced this so many times they were like a well-oiled machine. "Calypso, this is Ensign Fraser. We're ready to launch on your mark."
"Launch when ready,"
They launched two by two, forming up to go after one of the two remaining mercenary ships. "Apollo squad, pattern delta 2. Mark."
They broke off and performed an intricate pattern of maneuvers as they swarmed around the mercenary ship, looking for the perfect target.
"Pandora, I've got a target lock."
"Take the lead, Pandora. We're right behind you."
Several explosions followed and the fighters backed off to regroup. "Calypso, their shields are down 75%. Hit them now."
"Commander Sinclair, last chance to countermand, as I don't intend to leave anything but stardust." Jaxara noted.
"Fire, Jaxara," Karma said. "We gave them a chance to stand down. The wanted to play, so let's play."
"Roger that. Setting the phasers to deep-fry." Jaxara said, torquing the power up to border-line critical. "Let's make us some Kentucky Fried Cowards."
Jaxara had been expecting the remaining mercenary ship to have shields. It didn't.
He had already hit the volley for the torpedoes up, and fired.
"Uhm... Apparently they didn't have shields left. I hope nobody minds the extra crispy recipe." Jaxara added.
"There are no signs of other ships," Ronnie reported. "I think the other ship ran off."
Karma looked at the screen for a moment then nodded. "Cancel red alert and order the fighters back to the ship."
