Ensign Kammus Corelli - Talk
Jay Young
(( Tigris, debris field, search grid 22. ))
FOOM – The shuttle rocked as if it was caught by a great hand and pushed aside. Kammus closed his eyes as several relays exploded near Kaz. She seemed to be holding her own, if her face told the whole story.
Dar: Shields are at 68% another one of those and well we won't be helping anyone back to their time.
Corelli: I’m firing –
A blue beam of energy shot out of the Tigris, impacting on the surface of the invisible creature. Gold lattice work illuminated beyond the huge shape, and for the first time, the crew understood the size of what they were dealing with.
It was at least 2000 meters in length, and computer calculations put its mass at –
Corelli: That can not be right. This creature’s mass is 15,000 metric tons. Although the beam was unable to penetrate to the interior. It must be hollow.
Reid: It definitely some sort of large space creature which means it mostly likely hollow.
Dar/Garcia: Response
The whole system seemed to light up with smaller objects, life forms, dust, something which defied categorization. They dance in the magnetic winds.
A shockwave of polarized anti-tachyons caused by the scanning beam radiated out from the surface of the creature which had little effect on the Tigris. The second ship was hit with the wave and immediately had other issues, Visibly venting what appeared to be drive plasma, all combat ceased.
Corelli: Again, unexpected. We should reposition.
Reid: I agree we need to get out of here while they are busy doing repairs. :: More fear in her voice now ::
Dar/Garcia: Response
Reid: I’m going to need a little while to analyse the data.
Out the view port, Kammus watched as things unfolded. the Huxarian ship came into view in close proximity to what had only moments before been invisible.
Suddenly, the organic-looking hull began to glow orange, unleashing a ring of energy that raced out and swept up the frigate, only to dissipate quickly before reaching them Bright green plasma vented from the rear of the ship as it spun in place and began putting distance between the thing and itself.
Dar/Garcia/Reid: Response
Corelli: I think it reacted to that ship, not our beam?
Suddenly the silence was broken by a gruff, well soldiered voice crackling on the comms. It was open, wide band transmission, and the universal translator was certainly getting a work out.
Jorah: =/\= This is Admiral Jorah of the Nuach to all vessels within range. Cease fire immediately and power down weapon systems. We will do the same. =/\=
Kammus raised his eyebrows again, throwing a look at Garcia.
Corelli: Universal translator seems to be working. Respond! Let them know that our beam was not intended as a weapon.
This was true in that normally; a tachyon beam would not be a weapon. However, many other beam technologies existed utilizing various particles which would have any number of effects on ships of different designs.
Dar/Garcia/Reid: Response
Corelli: Fine, I’ll do it - =/\= Admiral Jorah, this is the shuttle Tigris, that was not a weapon, however we agree to your request. =/\=
Dar/Garcia/Reid: Response
Jorah: =/\= I would like to know what has brought us all here. =/\=
Kammus thought a moment about how exactly to answer this question.
Corelli: =/\= Time seems to be broken here. It could be that large creature, or some other cause, we are still investigating. Please let us know your intensions. =/\=
