((Bridge - Fenix Ignus - Rigar Nebula))
N'bel: Helm, one quarter impulse. Take us in slowly. Communications, stand by to hail that vessel. ::Glances again to Ta'an:: Maintain weapons and shields in stand by mode. Do not go active unless we are fired upon, or I order you to. Understood?
Ta'an: Weapons are powered up and on stand by, shield frequency on stand by.
N'bel kept his gaze firmly fixed on the viewscreen as the Fenix Ignus slowly advanced. The tension was mounting on the bridge and he knew, from previous experience, that something was going to happen soon.
N'bel: Ta'an, have they reacted to our approach yet?
Ta'an: We are receiving... it's mostly static.
N'Bel: ::Frowning:: Put it up on the audio speakers and let's heart it.
A wash of static and squelch came through the audio system. But amongst the cacophany of noise, N'bel could hear a voice. Female if he was to make a guess. But the words were lost in static and feedback, making most of the message come through garbled. Despite all that, some pieces of the message still managed to make themselves heard.
Rajel: =/\= This ...ajel o... on. We ...ission of ...mean ...harm. =/\=
N'bel shared a look with Ta'an. oO Did it say 'mission of harm? Oo N'bel could feel his weapons officers eye's still fixed on him, waiting for him to speak.
N'Bel: Ta'an, try and clean up that transmission. I want to be sure of what they said before jumping to any conclusions...
N'bel was interrupted by a soft beep coming from Ta'ans console. They looked down to see what needed their attention, then looked back up wide eyed.
Ta'an: N'Bel.. look.
The view of the unknown vessel changed to show a section of it's ventral hull on the saucer shaped section. A large rectangular door was opening, and a fairly large collection of smaller craft, in various sizes seemed to be preparing for take-off.
Ta'an: ::His eyes grew wide:: They have reinforcements on their ship!
N'Bel: Identify those craft if we can!
Ta'an: I'm registering an energy surge, they are raising shields or weapons.
Ta'an: Weapons are powered up and on stand by, shield frequency on stand by.

And there it was. Now it looks like the message was right. A mission of harm. Well, not if he had anything to say about it!
N'Bel: So be it! Ta'an, targeting at your discretion. Disable their systems if you can.

Ta'an: Respond
N'bel watched impassively as the first shots ranged out to lash the intruder. Now that he was committed, He was determined to see this through.
N'bel: Ta'an, see if you can damage that launching bay! I don't want us to get overwhelmed like a K'thka being swarmed by D'rdir.
Ta'an: Respond
While Ta'an worked, N'bel watched how the intruder was reacting. Their movements were slow, their responses sluggish. Perhaps Ta'an had gotten lucky with her initial barrage? Perhaps they could end this before it got out of hand.
N'bel: Hold fir Ta'an. Let's see if they are more communicative now.
Ta'an: Respond
