OOC: Sorry for the lateness of this log, but I had to have my say about the battle ::laughs:: This takes place right after my last post before the battle and finishes at the end.
The statement of bravado given Lassiter turned to the enemy. As the enemy got closer it was like all the stars he had been watching for hostiles. It filled up the window of his cockpit form either side. He knew that for all his words this battle would get blood and get there in a hurry. He looked over to his left wing was Zon Vulcan pilot who was great technical pilot. He always kept a calm head in the face of danger on the other side was Smyth. The Man he called his compatriot. He gave the go ahead to attack. Their fighters were well armored, well armed but not as maneuverable as the enemy vessels. He knew that a turning fight would be impossible to win. Their fight would be head out and that is how they attacked. As soon as the enemy was in weapons range they began to fire.
The thing about battle in space is that some things get disintegrated and are vaporized. If it isn’t vaporized instantly however, the fire will go out quickly and you have debris. That is what happened here. As they flew into the debris, there were pieces of ship and limbs grazing against their fighters. It looked like the battle would be tough but winnable. It was only then that Marc spotted the second wave. “Jester” He uttered into his radio. “We have been surrounded.”
“Affirmative,” Jester said. That was Smyth’s call sign. “I’ve noticed.”
“No one panic.” Lassiter uttered. “We will turn and fire our pattern back where we cam through. We will make our way towards Tarawa, where we will have support. On three, one…two … three.”
Lassiter lead the way firing at the Orion fighters. There were flashes of light as he maneuvered his craft through disruptor fire. “I’ve got a shot.” He announced. “I’ve got a good tone, I’m taking the shot.”
His pulse phaser hit home. He smiled swung around to cover Miller. His call sign was “eagle eye” and he was green as a pilot could be. He had just had first flight hazing a week before this began and Marc saw he’d already committed a rookie mistake leaving his ‘6’ open. “Eagle eye!” Marc shouted. “Watch your six.”
The warning had come too late. He as close enough to see him slump over dead from the shot before the craft exploded. Marc charged after the attacking fighter in a blind rage. He fired and destroyed it but had gotten slightly out of formation. He climbed to get back and could feel the crushing forces as he took his craft to an extreme speed. The battle was not going well. He had lost Smyth but the Vulcan had held his own. Marc It had taken then twenty minutes to fight their way back to Tarawa, but it seemed like an hour. The Akira class fighter was doing its best to support them but she had only so many guns.
Marc was out of torpedoes and running low on weapons power reserves. He had gotten careless. One of the hostile vessels had gotten his flank. He was trying every thing to shake him but nothing had worked. His wingman was holding off two more hostiles so Marc knew he would not get to him in time when suddenly a blast was fired from above him. In typical klingons fashion they had come using the planets sun to blind the enemy. One the Klingons had arrived the battle was joined and shot work was made of the Orions. After the battle Marc had to be towed back. He would be damned if he would let the Klingons do all his work for him. They had left and Marc was alone drifting in space. With both the remains of friends and enemies to keep him company till he was towed back. He reflected that this was probably one of the costliest victories he’d ever had. He lost a third of his pilots and damaged or destroyed half his fighters. He hoped that whatever culture or race that was on this planet they protected that they would make a difference to offset the valuable lives that were lost in its defense.

"Very good, Lt. Have him take his station and get him up to speed on our situation. Have all sections reported in Lt.?" He heard the Colonel ask him
"Yes, Ma'am. I have instructed Fallon to resume his station" He paused a moment as the the last report came in then reported/answered her last question "Yes, Ma'am.. I just recieved the last of the status and damage reports and I shall be in momentarily to deliver it, as per orders, Ma'am"
With the comm still open, he turned to walk to the Captain's ready room, pauing to ask Zarlena to watch the bridge for him for a couple moments. He then rang the chime and stepped into the Ready room. He tapped his badge to close the comm and then stepped up to the Colonel's desk, snapping off a salute "Here are the damage and status reports you asked for, Colonel"

She took over the bridge for a few minutes. She yawned and then told herself to wake up. She watched the ships progress while in standard orbit.

After leaving the brig she went to her office and started to look up any records that they might have on the captives. She was allowing them a few hours to eat, get medical care, and rest. Then she would talk to them and get the information from them that they needed.

She looked at Hall, "Too many were lost. Forty percent of our people are gone. And an additional 5 % are injured seriously. I hope to hell this rock is worth it. And this is not even the totals from the fighters yet."
"But we learned some new tactics to use against them. Gonna have to get some new recruits."

She heard the chime and got up from her bed and went over to her desk. " Enter " Lt Moon walked in and stood in front of her desk giving her a salute she gave him one back. "Stand at ease Lt."
Lt. Moon hands her a PADD with the reports. :
She nods. " Thank you Lt. Moon." She looks them over and sighs. " Lt Moon have Lt Doogan and Ensign Fallon run a geological survey, the Pirates were after more than slaves here. And I want to know what. Are we able to send a message to Starfleet Command?" She looke up at him.

He relaxed his stance when she told him to "Stand at ease"
She then thanked him for the reports and he responded "my pleasure, ma'am" then instructed him to have Fallon and Doogan to run a geological survey of the planet to find out why the pirates where so interested. She didnt think it would be just for slaves
He thought for a moment then theorized "Perhaps they needed slaves to mine whatever they may have been interested in"?
She then asked him if we were able to send a message to Star fleet and appraise them of the situation "Yes, Ma'am. Long Range communications have just been restored and I can send a message, or instruct Fallon to send a message and appraise them of our progress"
As he waited for her response, he thought she had beautiful eyes but then as an after-thought he added not as beautiful as Zarlena's

A shake of his head was given. There was a lot of things going on.. His com came to life, as he would here talking over them. A small smile came to his face. That was a good omen to have coms back.
He would then get back to work on seeing what more he could do to fix problems.

"Perhaps Lt. Moon whatever it is has to do with this planet."
He merely nodded and watched as she stood. then told him"No Have Mr. Fallon help Lt. Doogan. I vant you to open a secure channel to Starfleet Command patch it to my ready room. Inform me vhen it is ready.
"Yes, Ma'am" he muttered as suddenly the last 5 days of no sleep caught up with him and his knees nearly buckled, but h managed to stay standing there as she praised him "One more thing Lt. Moon I just vant to say you have done an outstanding during this situation and I have noted it in my reports. Your dismissed."
He smiled a bit wearily "Thank you, Colonel. I am just glad we could hold off and drive back the pirates"
As she dismissed him, he turned and nearly tripped over the chair that was beside him. He muttered a slight curse then an apology to the Colonel for his clumsiness. He glanced back to the Colonel "Might I recommend the Alpha shift be dismissed to get some rest?"
He would try and get some rest as soon as he established the secured link to Star Fleet Command

" Go ahead and have Alpha get some rest. Once you get me Starfleet you turn in as vell Have Lt. Doogan take over, let her know I'll be there shortly to take over." The Colonel responded to him and he gave a nod to her "Yes, Ma'am. I'll let her know"
He then turned and exited the Colonel's ready room and started issuing orders from the Colonel "Lt Doogan and Enign Fallon, please start a geological survey on the planet and report anything that you find, especially if you think the pirates would have been interested in it."
He then raised his voice, opening a ship wide comm "Alpha Shift personnel, Shift is over and rest period has begun. Sleep well. You've earned it"
He then walked over to tactical and began tapping keys to open a secured channel to Star Fleet Headquarters
After a few minutes, a secured link was established and he piped in into the Colone's Ready Room "Secure Channel open to Star Fleet Headquarters, Colonel"
He turned to Doogan as she started the survey "Sam, as soon as I leave the bridge, it's all yours but be advised that the Colonel will be back shortly to take over"
He then walked down to stand by Helm. He smiled at Zarlena wearily "Zarlena, would you like an escort tou your quarters"? ~~ and someone to tuck you in ~~ he thought at her
