[...] As Thea pondered over the suggestion from Isaiah, she then shifted towards S'Riia who added her own input to the Scientist's idea as to how it would work. Then as the Sec/Tac officer continued and mentioned the status of the royal ship and how the distraction, could mean that a successful rescue with safety measures in place. Thea saw no reason, not to go ahead and didn't take long to answer both of them. " Go ahead Mr Quinn, get it set up as quickly as you can, with the time we have and Petty Officer, have a Security team sent to the Cargo Bay, so they're in place for when we beam those from the Royal ship over".“Understood commander Baker”He was preparing to drop them out of warp and reduce the speed to impulse. He waited until they reached them. Timing was important when it came to coming out of warp. He listened in to see what the plan was going to be. He perfectly understood it and how it was going to happen. However he turned his focus to what he had to do and what’s going on in front of him. As he saw that they were getting close to the Falcon he let everyone know that they were coming out of warp as he reduced the speed to impulse. “We are going to be dropping out of warp.” [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Bridge, USS Mac] Quinn didn't need to be told twice. He knew that time was of the essence. It only took a few seconds before he was able to pull the subspace signal of the Mac from the computer banks. The next thing he did was begin to recalibrate a pair of Class IX probes so that they both emitted a signature identicial to that of the Mac. There was no way to make certain that this would work, but it would confident that it would at least make them hesitate to take on ships the size of the Mac. Isaiah looked up briefly as he heard Ensign Graham mentioned that they would be dropping out of warp. It was at that point that he heard his console give an affirming chime. He had managed to finish just in time. "The probes are ready to deploy on your mark, Commander," Isaiah said to Thea. His attention returned to his console as his fingers hovered over it. Timing was everything, and he needed to be ready to fire those probes on her count. He had even set a delayed signal so that it would appear that he probes, or faux Soverign-class starships, had dropped out of warp around the same time. ********** [NPC - PO1 S'Riia - Bridge, USS Mac] S'Riia acted as soon as Lt. Commander Baker gave the word. =/\= "S'Riia to Security. Send teams to one through four to Cargo Bay 2. Standard armaments. Be prepared for some resistance as we take on passengers from a ship in distress. S'Riia out." She considered asking to step down to the Cargo Bay as well, but that would have to wait until the situation was secure. If a battle broke out, she definitely wanted to be at her tactical station. As Ensign Graham announced that they preparing to drop out of warp, her attention fell upon her console once more. The readings were much clearer now. She had isolated her targets, but would need to wait until they were in range to isolate the targets Ensign Quinn had suggested upon each ship. She had managed to determine the hone in on the royal ship. "I should be able to acquire a transporter lock on the life signs aboard the ship once we drop out of warp and ready to transport on your order, ma'am."

[ Forward Quantum Torpedo Launcher, Deck 13, USS Mac ] With PADD in hand, Ensign Joshua Niles was taking notes furiously. The paperwork that came with an officer's commission was never something that they went about on in great detail in the recruitment drives, and tended to be glossed over when one was a Cadet. But, on an operational starship, it seemed to never really end. Even for a very, very, very junior officer who had just arrived at his first duty station. Part of him wondered if the Powers That Be hated him already, but instead, he focused on his efforts... Until the lights dimmed and klaxons sounded the call to come to Red Alert. Despite the sheer number of simulations he had gone through in his Cadet years, this was the very first live one he'd encountered. Oh, the Fawkes had gone to Red Alert a few times over the passage from Earth to the Front Ear station, but it had never been for an actual threat, only a Captain intent on keeping a crew on their toes. But this? While out and out in the middle of nowhere? It had to be real But even if it wasn't, he knew where his place was, and he made for the nearest turbolift. Not at a run, but at a pace that could definitely be considered 'walking with a strong sense or purpose and urgency'. [ Bridge, Deck 1, USS Mac ] As soon as he entered the Bridge, Niles made a beeline for the Tactical station, which was being manned by a Caitian Petty Officer. As he walked, he wracked his mind for her name, and yet it did not come. That would be something to rectify later, for it hardly did to not know the names of at least others who'd be manning that console at any given time. Though, given the circumstances, he expected it could be forgiven. Walking up to the console, he tapped her on the shoulder, just as he announced his presence. "Commander Baker," at least, the officer who was currently in charge he had recognized, "Ensign Niles taking over at Tactical, Ma'am." As he settled into place, reviewing his board quickly, he turned to the Petty Officer. "PO, can you fill me in?"After all, it would hardly to get there, and not be ready for action.

[ Thea - Bridge, USS Mac] With Graham informing them that they would be coming out of warp soon, Thea knew that it didn't give them a lot of time to put Quinn's plan into action. " Understood Mr Graham, put us into a safe transport distance and once we have those from the royal ship and help the Falcon, have a course ready to take us back to the nebula that Mr Quinn found".The Doctor hoped that there wouldn't be any more surprises, now that they had arrived, but knowing Jett anything was possible, given the trouble he had already gotten himself into. Although as Quinn then told her that the modified probes were now ready to deploy, it was time for more doing than thinking. " Make it so, Mr Quinn" she replied with a hint of a smile in his direction, before S'Riia followed her orders and then informed her, that she should be able to acquire a lock and have their guests beamed over on Thea's order. " Thank you, Petty Officer" Thea began, before their newest Tactical officer appeared and spoke to her as he then relieved S'Riia and asked her to fill him in. Thea acknowledged Niles politely and would wait for S'Riia to fill him in, before offering her the chance to lead the Security team in the Cargo Bay.

Isaiah Quinn - Bridge, USS Mac] Upon receiving the order, Isaiah pressed the button. "Probes 1 and 2 away," Isaiah said allowed. He silently counted down and then smiled as his own sensors displayed a pair of subspace signatures matching that of the Mac's. "And sensors are presently reading three Soverign-class vessels holding in formation, Commander. All the vessels should be reading the same on their sensors." He glanced at Thea briefly giving her a supportive nod. They at least had a distraction in place. He just hoped they didn't peek behind the curtain before initiated the rest of Thea's plan. [NPC - PO1 S'Riia - Bridge --> Cargo Bay 2, Deck 9, USS Mac] S'Riia had begun to acquire the targets as Ensign Niles entered the Bridge. In her opinion, the timing wasn't the best, but she wasn't going to protest. She turned towards the ensign, hoping that he wouldn't wet the bed on this. Still, Starfleet had enough confidence in him, and there was no better way to test someone than in the field. "Get a lock on every life sign aboard the royal ship," she said pointing out the vessel. "Beam them directly to Cargo Bay 2 and neutralize their weapons midstream. After that wait for the Commander's orders to fire. Their ships are vulnerable near exhaust points."S'Riia then stepped aside so that he could assume the tactical station. Part of her wished she could stand there to oversee it, but she needed to be elsewhere right now. She quickly moved towards the turbolift, and headed to Deck 9. While in transit, she called ahead so that the armory would have a phaser ready to hand off to her. Moving at a modest sprint to the Cargo Bay, as soon as she entered, one of the security officers present tossed her a phaser. The teams had already taken up positions to keep everyone corralled. Nodding, S'Riia tapped her comm badge. =/\= "S'Riia to Bridge. Ready to receive the passengers, Commander." =/\= S'Riia exhaled as she stood with her hand poised on the handle of her phaser, hoping the rookie wouldn't forget to neutralize their weapons.

[S.S. Falcon – Bridge] NPC – First Officer Aella . The ship rocked as it took another hit. She was trying to maneuver the ship the best she could but there was so many of them. Like Captain Jett said their tactics was more military than pirates they were patient discipline and not breaking formation to chase after them. =/\= Falcon to Jett, don’t know how much more I can take this. =/\= . She mentioned as she Falcon was in bad shape, most of their weapons were off line and it would be a matter of time until they lost their engines. It was a matter a second that she heard the comms. It was clear from the background noise that he was still fighting. =/\= Jett to Falcon, you have to leave us. I’m low on ammo and can’t hold on much longer. Once I’m dry we are dead. Take the ship and go….that’s an order” =/\= The Comm closed as an explosion was heard in the background. [/font] “Damn it!” . The said to herself as he slammed her fist to the console. She knew they were or at least Captain Jett was good as dead. They were holding until Starfleet would arrived but it appeared that it was taking their time. All of a sudden she heard a beep. She followed and she saw multiple warp signatures. “It appears that they called more reinforcement.”. She knew that if it was a group of ship it was not Starfleet the Mac was alone vessel, not a group. “It looks like you got beaten…”. Aella said to herself as she appeared to be deflated. As she ship approached, she saw 3 Sovereigns vessels. “What the frack!” She said to herself. *** [NPC Edmond de León] “My Lord…we have detected 3 Unknown Ship approaching us. They are considerably bigger than ours.” The Officer said. “My..my..my, the Royal Family had more allies than thought. I wonder who are these people that would ally themselves with genocidal maniacs”. The man said as he pressed his hand to his chin. “Open a channel” . The man stood up and looked at the screen directly. =/\= “Attention Unknown Ship, this is Lord Edmond de León. We are here conducting a Legal Extraction and Execution. During an attempt this unknown Ship asked us to withdraw and engaged our forces. And therefore the ship and it’s crew is going to be charged with Complicity of Genocide. Since you have not engaged our Superior Numbers, I am giving you a choice. Withdraw or feel the might of the Baron’s Navy of the People of Samara” =/\= The man had no idea of the weapons capability and tactics of that ship. But if it was close to the other ship they might have a battle in their hands. He hoped that maybe during the battle they might destroy the Royal Family ship and therefore finish the mission. “Target the Royal Family, ship” . The man said. “But Sir, we have men there” The Officer protested. “I’m sorry but desperate times calls for the desperate measures. I need to do what we need to finish our mission” . The Lord informed as he was ready to just destroy the ship and kill his own men the process. It would not be the same as bringing them and executing them on live channel, but it was close enough.

[ USS Mac - Bridge ] "Thank you, PO, got it." Niles' reply to the Petty Officer, while curt in the interest of time, was still polite. After all, he recognized his predecessor that that console had the real-world practical experience he thoroughly lacked. And this was his very first live Red Alert while he was the primary at Tactical. He'd been secondary, or parked in auxiliary command, while on his Cadet cruise, but this was entirely different. As the Caitian spoke, his fingers were dancing on his console, relaying the directions pertaining to the beaming of all personnel on the royal vessel, as well the directive to disable their weapons, to the transporter rooms. While technically all security matters ran through his console, he was perfectly content to delegate the nuts and bolts to the expert transporter operators who would be dealing with the process. And, he had to get ready to fire upon the aggressors should the word come from Commander Baker. Knowing their exhaust ports were vulnerable was a good thing, but he still reviewed the incoming sensor data about those ships, and he had to double-check what he was receiving. One had once been a starship, but it was an antique; the others, on the hand, were beyond primitive! Full-power phaser fire would likely shred them like tissue paper! However, he did recall one of his lessons back at the Academy: primitive did not need they weren't dangerous. After all, if they were willing to open fire with whatever they had against a top of the line Federation starship, Ensign Niles was less worried about how those aggressors were expecting to win, but how he was expected to come out on top of someone willing to commit to action under those conditions, especially without having to resort to wholesale slaughter. However, that didn't mean he wouldn't prepare to engage them, and he started entering some firing plans into the console as rapid contingencies, ranging from just enough to let them know they were in trouble, to give them a seriously bad day. And then, one of those aggressor vessels did hail them. "Ma'am, we are being hailed by what appears to be their flagship, putting it on screen." As the ultimatum was being presented, Joshua started revising his firing plans. Now that the command and control authority had been possibly established, he was of a mind that he knew precisely who he should direct any kind of warning shots towards. However, it hardly mattered what he thought, for he could only follow the orders given to him. But that hardly meant he could not designate the flagship as a priority target. In fact, given that he had been told to wait for the order to fire, he took it as direction to actually lock weapons on them. And given the power output of tactical sensors on a Sovereign-class starship, even something as crude as those vessels were bound to know they were being on the receiving end of an active weapons lock.

[ Thea - Bridge, USS Mac] Hearing Isaiah inform the Bridge, that the probes had been launched successfully, brought a smile to Thea's face along with the supportive nod, that she also received, once he had confirmed that his plan had worked. " Excellent Mr Quinn, now let's see how they react to the arrival of three starships" she remarked, as she looked towards the viewscreen. It was very much a waiting game now, to see what the other fleet would do and whether they would be fooled long enough for them to execute the rescue plan. At least S'Riia was now in place to oversee their guests as the Petty Officer called in, after leaving the tactical station in the hands of Ensign Niles. =/\= Acknowledged Petty Officer, standby =/\= The Doctor was about to ask Niles to get ready when the Ensign then notified them of an incoming transmission. It seemed as their arrival had caught the enemy fleet's attention after all as Niles put the hail onto the viewscreen. This was definitely a first for Thea, not that she would let that show, putting on the confidence as she looked at Lord de Leon. Thea listened to what he had to say, but wasn't about to let him intimidate her or give into his threat, as she knew the Mac's firepower was more superior, not that she wanted to use it, unless she had no other choice. =/\= This is Commander Thea Baker of the Federation Starship Mac, as you may of noticed, we're not on our own, nor do we appreciate threats and ultimatums, when all we've done is answer the call for help, from one our Freighter's. We do have a lock on your ships and I won't hesitate to fire if provoked, but I'm not here to get involved in the matters of your people but simply to retrieve our people and their ship =/\= Now it was up to de Leon and whilst she waited to see what they would do, Thea muted the channel and spoke to Niles. " Ensign, now would be a good time to initiate the beam out of those from the royal ship".

[ Ens. Joshua Niles - Bridge, USS Mac ] "Aye-aye, beam-out in progress!" Young Ensign Niles hardly needed any time to get that moving. He had already instructed the transporter rooms to wait for his signal, and all that was truly required for the process to begin was the press of a single control, giving them the go-ahead to act on the existing transporter locks to bring the personnel about the royal vessel aboard, and disable their weapons in the process. All directly to Cargo Bay 2, as he'd been directed to. However, no sooner had he sen the message that an alarm showed on his board. They were no longer being targeted? But, he could still detect their fire control systems, which meant... "Ma'am," he called as he confirmed what he was looking at. "They have broken weapons lock on us and the... Falcon. Only the royal ship is being targeted at this time." As he called out, his hands danced across his console. The change in targeting meant that, maybe, just maybe, the message had gone across that opening fire on the Mac would be a bad idea, but it didn't mean he was about to lower his guard. But, even as he was reasonably certain that the royal ship was fully evacuated at this point in time, if only based on what he knew of the ship's transporter capability and the kind of response times that he knew were expected of their operators once they would get the go-ahead to start the beaming process, he could not help but fairly shout as another alarm showed before him. "Ma'am! They've opened fire on the royal ship! They destroyed her!" He could not help the shock in his tone, and not a small bit of anger came through. Didn't they know that when someone was under the protection of the Federation, especially a Starfleet vessel, hostile action was generally contra-indicated? His hands moved of their own volition, deleting the firing plans he had prepared involving warning shots and minimal damage, only leaving the ones that would involve firing to disable, or firing to destroy. As they began to withdraw, his hands hovered over the firing controls, only stayed by a shred of discipline, the one that stated that as Tactical officer, he was to never open fire unilaterally. But, he certainly was ready! "Ma'am, weapons are still locked and they are still in range; do I engage?"

Hearing Isaiah inform the Bridge, that the probes had been launched successfully, brought a smile to Thea's face along with the supportive nod, that she also received, once he had confirmed that his plan had worked. " Excellent Mr Quinn, now let's see how they react to the arrival of three starships" she remarked, as she looked towards the viewscreen. It was very much a waiting game now, to see what the other fleet would do and whether they would be fooled long enough for them to execute the rescue plan. At least S'Riia was now in place to oversee their guests as the Petty Officer called in, after leaving the tactical station in the hands of Ensign Niles. =/\= Acknowledged Petty Officer, standby =/\= The Doctor was about to ask Niles to get ready when the Ensign then notified them of an incoming transmission. It seemed as their arrival had caught the enemy fleet's attention after all as Niles put the hail onto the viewscreen. This was definitely a first for Thea, not that she would let that show, putting on the confidence as she looked at Lord de Leon. Thea listened to what he had to say, but wasn't about to let him intimidate her or give into his threat, as she knew the Mac's firepower was more superior, not that she wanted to use it, unless she had no other choice. =/\= This is Commander Thea Baker of the Federation Starship Mac, as you may of noticed, we're not on our own, nor do we appreciate threats and ultimatums, when all we've done is answer the call for help, from one our Freighter's. We do have a lock on your ships and I won't hesitate to fire if provoked, but I'm not here to get involved in the matters of your people but simply to retrieve our people and their ship =/\= Now it was up to de Leon and whilst she waited to see what they would do, Thea muted the channel and spoke to Niles. " Ensign, now would be a good time to initiate the beam out of those from the royal ship".[...] He smiled for a second as he had his plan into motion. =/\ = Federation…Starship Mac, Commander Thea Baker, next time please address me as My Lord, Field Marshall as it is my title. Your people’s manners are horrible. As your Freighter fired on US first. We would be interested in sending diplomatic ship to your “Federation” as we hope to exchange in technology. In the interest of Future, diplomatic negotiation we will depart after we finish out internal matter. =/\= He cut the communication as he knew the public was seeing the video feed live. He could not let commoners see that someone could not address him as “My Lord”. However, she did provide a clue. The ship that they engaged was a Freighter which means is Civilian his guess is that their Military ship would be substantially better than their Civilian counterpart. “Order the Fleet to get rid of the Target Lock of both the Freighter and the “Federation ship,” De León said. “ Fire” De León ordered “What my Lord?” The Officer said “Fire on the Esperanza, that ship is OUR internal matter.” De León said. As he finished the statement. The ship fired on the Esperanza. The ship in which the Royal Family was located. As soon as their weapons touched the ship due to the weakened hull integrity it was destroyed. =/\= People of Samara, the Royal Family is dead and the Civil War has ended. We mourn for the people and soldiers that have lost their lives in this cause of righteousness. =/\= De León said. “ Order the Fleet to Withdraw, mission accomplished. Also, give me the names of the people that were on the ship. I will make sure that their sacrifice is not forgotten” De León said. As it was ordered the Fleet began to turn around and leave the area. "Aye-aye, beam-out in progress!" Young Ensign Niles hardly needed any time to get that moving. He had already instructed the transporter rooms to wait for his signal, and all that was truly required for the process to begin was the press of a single control, giving them the go-ahead to act on the existing transporter locks to bring the personnel about the royal vessel aboard, and disable their weapons in the process. All directly to Cargo Bay 2, as he'd been directed to. However, no sooner had he sen the message that an alarm showed on his board. They were no longer being targeted? But, he could still detect their fire control systems, which meant... "Ma'am," he called as he confirmed what he was looking at. "They have broken weapons lock on us and the... Falcon. Only the royal ship is being targeted at this time." As he called out, his hands danced across his console. The change in targeting meant that, maybe, just maybe, the message had gone across that opening fire on the Mac would be a bad idea, but it didn't mean he was about to lower his guard. But, even as he was reasonably certain that the royal ship was fully evacuated at this point in time, if only based on what he knew of the ship's transporter capability and the kind of response times that he knew were expected of their operators once they would get the go-ahead to start the beaming process, he could not help but fairly shout as another alarm showed before him. "Ma'am! They've opened fire on the royal ship! They destroyed her!" He could not help the shock in his tone, and not a small bit of anger came through. Didn't they know that when someone was under the protection of the Federation, especially a Starfleet vessel, hostile action was generally contra-indicated? His hands moved of their own volition, deleting the firing plans he had prepared involving warning shots and minimal damage, only leaving the ones that would involve firing to disable, or firing to destroy. As they began to withdraw, his hands hovered over the firing controls, only stayed by a shred of discipline, the one that stated that as Tactical officer, he was to never open fire unilaterally. But, he certainly was ready! "Ma'am, weapons are still locked and they are still in range; do I engage?" [Ens. Isaiah Quinn - Bridge, USS Mac] The next few moments seemed to happen so quickly. The commander of the lead vessel didn't appear interested in having a long dialogue. Of course, he appeared to be a patient man and new better than to draw his people in a battle with an unknown enemy. That didn't mean he was deterred from his initial actions, however. He may have been interested in engaging in diplomatic negotiations with the Federation, but only after his current mission was complete. Thea had given the word to have the passengers evacuated, and the ensign at tactical, Niles, seemed to follow the order. Though, he quickly reported that the Mac was no longer being targeted, but the royal vessel was. Isaiah turned his attention to his console, and within a matter of moments he heard Niles announce that the royal vessel had been destroyed. Isaiah checked his console. "Transport was still in progress during the explosion," he said simply from his station. ********** [NPC - PO1 S'Riia - Cargo Bay 2, Deck 9, USS Mac] The familiar whine of the transporter started to sound. S'Riia held up her hand as the bean faded out. Her officers had their weapons trained on those that had just materialized. "Please remain where you are," S'Riia said to the new arrivals. "You've been transported aboard the USS Mac for your safety. The structural integrity of the ship you were aboard was failing." One of the men seemed nervous and looked down at his weapon. "Your weapon was neutralized during transport. Please lower them to the ground," S'Riia said. The man seemed to hesitate, but upon reviewing the disadvantage he was it, finally did so. The rest of his comrades followed suit. S'Riia focused on the men, and then on the human that was near the girl. She began to move in his direction. "Welcome aboard the Mac, Captain Jett," S'Riia said. Her eyes dipped for a moment, a slight smirk slid upon her face at the sight of the leather pants. "As impressive as I've heard." A low purr rolled from her lips. She then turned slightly, and was quickly back to business. "S'Riia to Bridge. The passengers are secure, including Captain Jett. There were a total of eight arrivals. Six in uniform, three presently unconscious. I advise a medical team report to see to their injuries." S'Riia took a deep breath as her eyes revisited to young woman clinging rather closely to Jett. In additional orders, particularly in relation to Captain Jett and his... guest ?"

[Ens. Lurai Sren – USS Mac – Sickbay] Dr Lunn seemed to have a persecution complex of some sort. He was certainly overreacting; People had been nothing but nice so far, and even though Lurai hadn't been in Starfleet long she couldn't believe that things were as bad as Lunn claimed. She just smiled and nodded as he said he'd make sure the staff was ready to receive injured. ”Thank you, Doctor. It will be interesting to see who these possible casualties are. Hopefully they're none of our crew.” Sickbay's computer systems seemed to be working fine, and so she went on to prepare the emergency equipment for use. She was curious about what was going on out there.

"Sorry, fighter?" Kaya narrowed her eyes. They were kitting out fighter vessels? She began to do the math on why the Mac would need that kind of fire power, but her train of thought was interrupted by a red alert. Then Lieutenant Baker's voice sounded through the comm. And now with the battle stations. Grippen didn't seem alarmed, but Kaya couldn't ignore the shipwide change of plans. Kaya's battle station was in Engineering unless otherwise specified to put out fires both literal and metaphorical. =/\= Som to Engineering, orders? =/\= A superior officer's voice responded. =/\= As you were, Crewman. Stand by for further instructions. =/\=Kaya shrugged and mumbled to herself, "alright, then. Let's make some fighters." She tuned back into the project at hand, to Grippen and Black. Never one to turn down food, Kaya took up some kind of hot pastry thing. Mouth full, she pointed at one of the fighters. "Mmm, that one's going to give you trouble getting back out of atmo. Oh, and those there are supposed to have an integrated quantum gyroscope - really excellent handling." Then Kaya turned her attention the Ark. She leaned back on her heels and pointed at it. "We have this? Where'd we get it?" She had a look on her face.
Tag Malik Grippen , @ Derek Black [Deck 8 - Holodeck 1] Derek automatically glanced at O'Leary, taking his cue from her regarding the red alert declaration. Being a 'new kid on the block', at least figuratively speaking, he wasn't about to jump the gun if his boss didn't, and judging from her reaction, and those of Grippen, it didn't look like anyone was in a rush. More interestingly, the holodecks didn't automatically shut down either, something he'd seen on some other starships. "I just got here myself, haven't seen the Ark yet, or how much we can modify it. At the end of the day, this is going to be a big project, and we really do need that set of requirements from our skipper before proceeding. We can find a holoprogram designer, write up a simulation to run some of these fighters through, and choose the best option from there. Would mean alot of extra work ontop of our regular duties, though. Probably double shifts, and we might get just a tiny footnote in our personnel files for all our efforts if 'Fleet brass catch wind of it. From what I've noticed, upper management appreciates initiative, but they do tend to wash their hands fast if things go sideways." Increasingly aware the senior pilot might reckon he was stealing her thunder, Derek wrapped up his thoughts quickly. "Feel up to it, Som, and maybe some of your friends from Engineering or Ops?"Just then, without warning, the deck shuddered and bulkheads rattled, Derek instinctively widening his stance to keep balance. It didn't last long, but to him, it felt like they'd just passed through some sort of subspace eddy or shockwave. Maybe it was something related to that alert status. Perturbed, he looked again towards O'Leary. "Anyone else concerned or curious about what's going on up there?"

[ Thea - Bridge, USS Mac] Confident that they would succeed in the last part of their plan, Thea unmuted the channel as Lord de Leon responded to her last communication. Listening as he corrected her about what title she should of used, okay that was fair but then again, she didn't know that so let the comment about their bad manners slide. But when he informed her that the Freighter had fired on them first, Thea made a mental note to get Jett's side of the story, that's if they didn't end up putting him the Brig for getting them involved in what was clearly an internal matter. There would no doubt be words exchanged as Lord de Leon, then spoke about how they wanted to develop diplomatic relations with the Federation and potentially share technology. This was definitely an interesting turn of events, however before she could respond, the channel was cut as de Leon mentioned about withdrawing after finishing with this internal matter. Thea dreaded to think what he would do, as Niles confirmed that the beam out was in progress, before notifying her that the other ship had withdrawn the lock that had been placed on them and the Falcon and how they were now targeting the royal ship instead. Lost for words as she turned to see the Royal ship explode into a million pieces and atoms at Niles' warning and hoped that they had managed to get the people off it in time. She was about to ask when the Tactical officer asked if he should engage the retreating lead ship. " No, stand down with weapons Mr Niles, in the interests of future diplomacy and it not being the Starfleet way, we won't be firing on them today and also return us to normal as we won't be needing the red alert anymore".Turning towards Quinn when he said that transport was still in progress during the explosion, Thea's heart churned at the thought of losing those people, until there was a call from S'Riia. Relief washed over the Doctor as she listened to the Petty Officer and quickly responded to her. =/\= Bridge to S'Riia, acknowledged, I'll have Medical with you asap, then I suggest that the six be moved to a secure location for the time being, perhaps one of the meeting rooms until we've spoken to Captain Jett, speaking of the Captain have him and his Guest escorted to the Observation Lounge =/\= This was definitely going to be an interesting conversation, not to mention what her report would be like as she then addressed Graham. " Take us back to the Nebula, Mr Graham" she said as she then opened a channel to Sickbay. =/\= Bridge to Sickbay, medical assistance is needed in Cargo Bay 2, we have three confirmed unconscious individuals =/\= With that done, there was one last call to make. =/\= Mac to Falcon, we have Captain Jett and those from the Royal ship, we'll keep hold of him for the time being, Mac out =/\=

[ Royal Ship Esperanza – Hallway Thomas Jett & Princess Victoria Tom felt another shot go by his ear. He felt the whistle of a the shot passing by as the buzz was a little close to comfort. The man looked in the hallway as he observed the guards continuing their fire on their position. He glanced around the corner as he observed Princess as she appeared to be frightened. Tom needed another trained fighter with him as he would try and find a way to outflank them or be creative. But all he could do is to hold the enemy back as much as possible. As he fired he kept his focused on every time that they would try and advance their position. All he could do is stall. As he looked at his pistol he observed he was almost out of EM Pulse. That was the biggest drawback of his weapon, it’s limited ammo. Although he did not plan on getting himself in a prolong firefights. Jett observed as they attempted to move forward as he intercepted their attempt and forced them to take cover with his suppressing fire. As he pulled the trigger three times two shots came out and the third one he heard a *click*. Tom took cover and closed his eyes he took a deep breath. “I’m sorry…I’m dry” . He said as he looked at the Princess. He was out of ammo and now it was a matter of time until they figure it out. All he could do is wait for them to get close and try to take one of their weapons. “Heh heh heh…some appears to have run out of ammo” The leader of the group said as they began advancing to their position. “Any last words” The Leader said as they continue their advance. “Yeah….”. The man said as he prepared his statement. He then heard a massive explosion at the same time his vision began turning white. Such a stupid way to die He thought to himself. As the vision began *** [ Cargo Bay 2 Thomas Jett & Princess Victoria Tom vision began to materliaze as he realized he was in a Starfleet Vessel it was not hard to figure out with all the Uniforms and extra personnel. Could that have waited an extra second…after I say my bas ass line . The man thought to himself. The Princess went quickly as went around him. He was surprised as he threatened to make money out of her. But something tell him that she was no buying it. [NPC - PO1 S'Riia - Cargo Bay 2, Deck 9, USS Mac] The familiar whine of the transporter started to sound. S'Riia held up her hand as the bean faded out. Her officers had their weapons trained on those that had just materialized. "Please remain where you are," S'Riia said to the new arrivals. "You've been transported aboard the USS Mac for your safety. The structural integrity of the ship you were aboard was failing." One of the men seemed nervous and looked down at his weapon. "Your weapon was neutralized during transport. Please lower them to the ground," S'Riia said. The man seemed to hesitate, but upon reviewing the disadvantage he was it, finally did so. The rest of his comrades followed suit. S'Riia focused on the men, and then on the human that was near the girl. She began to move in his direction.

S'Riia took a deep breath as her eyes revisited to young woman clinging rather closely to Jett. In additional orders, particularly in relation to Captain Jett and his... guest ?"As he observed and the Princess was scared, ask they asked the Red Forces to drop their weapons. “Shouldn’t have gloated. It sucks not having weapons.” . Tom responded as he observed them and they complied and dropped their weapons. They raised their arms as they surrendered. As the Caitlan Petty Officer came to him and welcomed him into the Mac. Tom looked at the Petty Officer and responded “Thank you Petty Officer and the Mac for your assistance. This is Princess Victoria “. Jett said as he introduced the Princess to the Petty Officer. He then would glance over her and said “Don’t worry, you are safe here” . Tom mentioned as he wanted to reassure her that Starfleet won’t kill her. Him, on the other hand, a completely different story. He looked at the ship and smiled at the irony. Out of the ships in the area it HAD to be her ship. The Mac. Captain Ellis ship he could just imagine how she would probably gloat that she had to save him. As the Caitlan looked at his trademark leather pants and made her comment. He responded “Everyone is always a critic” . Victoria looked at Jett and asked “Your outfit seems different than the rest of your people. Why is that?” . Tom rolled his eyes and responded “It’s a cool style people” Tom explained as he raised his hand up in the air. He just saved her life…and the first question was about his Leather Pants. Why do people care about his Leather Pants soo much . He wondered. It was clear that they would be escorted to the Observation deck and probably be debriefed by someone. As they took time maybe the Princess would give them more background of what the heck just happened.

[S.S. Falcon – Bridge] NPC – First Officer Aella . Aella took a deep breath as she relaxed for a second. There was a broadcast signal but she was too busy trying to keep ship together that she did not have time to do more. It appeared that with the Mac tensions began to deescalate. It was second after that she observed the destruction of the ship in which the Falcon’s Captain was present. “Crap” . Aella said to herself. As she though that the Captain was dead. One of their first missions was dead. She was upset as now she had to take care of the bucket of bolts by herself when a message came from the Mac. =/\= Mac to Falcon, we have Captain Jett and those from the Royal ship, we'll keep hold of him for the time being, Mac out =/\=
As she heard the message she exhaled and said to herself “What is it about stupid, drunk idiots that somehow might outlive us?” . She said in a sarcastic matter. She pressed the comm. “=/\= Acknowledged, Mac. We will Rendezvous and begin repairs at Fron Ear. Good Luck on your mission and please, tell my idiot Captain, to stop getting involved in things he does not understand. I plan on getting hazard pay for this. Falcon out. =/\= As she pressed he comm, the Falcon left the area in the best possible warp.
