Shran113: Excellent. Welcome back everyone tonight begins a new chapter
Shran113: All the finger pointing and stress of the past couple days is done and the dust has settled. Commander Helen Grace is the new appointed CO of the Aryes. The crew remains, but according to Starfleet Shran is considered lost and no more resources are to be devoted to finding him.
Shran113: As for tonight, we start in Spacedock, and for anyone who did not read the mission breifing, the Aryes crew will soon be receiving two passangers, Federation Ambassador Yllana Rilt and a member of the Godai race, Ki Royshu. The Aryes will be transporting Royshu to his home planet of Kimei beyond the boundries of the Godai Imperium.
Shran113: The Aryes will be the first Starfleet ship to enter Imperium space in over 100 years. The Godai people are miltaristic and very strict about their class and honor systems. For more information on the species you may refer to the Species Data in the mission breifing.
Shran113: Are there an questions?
Major Clyde Greathouse: None
AidanMcKenzie1: ::RH::
Marshal Collins: No, sir
Shran113: Yes, Mr. McKenzie
AidanMcKenzie1: can I stay on earth? ::grins jokingly::
Shran113: I'll let your new CO worry about that
Shran113: Well if there are no questions. The time is 0700, beginning of Alpha shift a few days after the Aryes new CO has come abaord. the ship is still in spacedock, but should be ready to make way soon.
Shran113: =====START SIM=====
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::On the bridge checking on security teams::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Marhsal takes his place at the ops station, running the usual pre-flight diagnostics.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::enters the bridge, with a yawn:: NOIP > why does shift have to start so early?
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::In Sickbay checking things over::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC>0700 is not early 0500 is early
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > O700 is early, 0500 is too early
Shran113: ACTION>Ambassador Rilt and Ki Royshu request permission to transport aboard.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > We got the ambassadors wanting to come abooard.. where's the new commander person?
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC> teld them well beam them in, in a few minutes
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>+T+CO> Ambasdors ready to board
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Star base > stand by, we're making ready with the transport

Major Clyde Greathouse: CSECF>::stops::TAC> Beam them CO I bet is already their
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > gotcha ::he recontacts the starbase:: SB > commencing with the transport ::waits about 90 seconds then transports the ambassadors aboard
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Walks back to his station::
Shran113: AMB>::The dark haired betazed woman appears on the transport pad. She looks around a moment and see Commander Grace.:: CO>Captain Grace, it is a pleasure to meet. This is Ki Royshu
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> Welcome aboard ambassador..Kasei Royshu. I am Commander Helen Grace, commanding officer of the Aryes. ::She bows in what she hopes in a courteous manner while despising the lack of information on current customs::
ST NPC01: KASEI>::The red skinned boy of no more than 12 pulls back his ear-flaps at the bowing commander. He examins the ship for a moment before walking boldly off the pad.::CO>Where is the welcoming party I was told to expect?
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Kasei> My apologies, Kasei but your instructions for a "party" were not received. If you will tell me now what you desire, I will see to it that it is done.
CmdrHelenGrace:
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC> I never meet a Godai before
ST NPC01: KASEI>CO>I am the Kasei of Godai. I am a living god. I should not have tyo request anything. ::He looks at her.:: though you are moderately attractive, if not wearing more clothing than I would prefer... though I do not know about this ship. Is it a proper war vessel to transport me back to homeland after such a long exile? I find it surprising that this is best your Starfleet can offer.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > Then we're even. neither have I
Marshal Collins: CACI>MCO>No one has met a Godai, from what I understand. They are not Federation members. Som kind of isolationist government at the edge of the beta quadrant.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::turns to collins:: CSCI > So they keep to themselves and don't bug anyone or dont ask for help?
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CSCI> THis ought be fun then
Marshal Collins: CSCI>TAC>That's generally what isolationism is... though I'm sure they wont like us too much
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::smirks:: CSci > I like them already
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Kasei> This ship is named after our ancient god of war. It and I are quite able to provide your transport. As for the clothingm my continued apologies but this "uniform" is standard and required for wear by Starfleet. ::Ingoring
CmdrHelenGrace: the attempted insults::
Shran113: AMB>::She just smiles at the boy's comment.::CO>Perhaps if I can show the Kasei to his room for the long journey ahead of us.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Amb> Please do, but perhaps I should let the Kasei know too that because this is a vessel equipped for war, it is not given to comfort. The accomodations we have provided are the best available.
ST NPC01: KASEI>CO>On my planet I would five hundred maidens waiting to carry me on a bed of a thousand feathers to a room of a thousand pleasures. I cannot wait to return home.
Shran113: AMB>CO>Yes, it will be nice to return the Kasei to his people. He has been exiled on Earth for ten years, after a civil war erupted among his people. He has been a guest of the Federation ever since, though we did not allow it to become public knowledge.
Shran113: ACTION>More of the Kasei's party request to be transported aboard the Aryes.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Kasei> Those wishes, I can assure you, will be followed as promptly as possible, Kasei. Amb> Understood.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > we have more of the Kasei's entourage wanting to come aboard
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>+T+CO> More Kasei requesting to board
ST NPC01: KASEI>CO>As I expect if you will want to keep at bay my celestrial wrath. I have been told by my tutors that at home I command legions of warriors who will do my bidding even to their death. I can call down lightning as easily as another man can blink, and I create life where once their was none. Please me and you will find that I am a just god as well as amerciful one.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>::Turning away from to Kasei to speak::CSEC> Acknowledged again major. How many?
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC> HOw many
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he shrugs at Clyde then contacts the starbase to get a head count that wants to come aboard::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>+T+CO> Checking
Marshal Collins: CSCI>TAC>MCO>Sensors indicate eight Godai, along with some rather large packages and furniture...
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>+T+CO> 8 with large packages and furniture
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec, CSCI > what are we? his personal escort ship?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>TAC>You'll have to bring that up with our new boss lady
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC> For this mission yes
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Kasei> ::Bows again:: +T+ Beam them aboard. ::Silently calculating how they will all be accomodated.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::made what sounded like a growl:: CSCI > I can't do it in one transport, i'll have to use another transporter
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>+T+CO> Yes Ma'am TAC> Beam them aboard
Marshal Collins: CSCI>TAC>You can use a broad-beam transport and deposit them in Cargo Bay 8.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>NOIP>At least that's waht I would do...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::nods at Collins and does ust that, transporting everything to cargo bay 8::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>::Motions to the ambassador> CSEC>+T+ Major greathouse, will you please meet the Ambassador and Kasie outside the transporter room and escort them to their respective quarters?
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > if they dont like it, they shouldn't bring so much
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>+T+CO> On my way ::heads out::
Shran113: AMB>CO>Commander, all the packages and furniture being brough aboard by the Goadi are considered sacred. They cannot be scanned or even touched by the members of your crew as it will taint their celestrial nature. The Godai will bring them to the Kasei's quarters. Its important that you honor this.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Smiles at Tac as TL doors close::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Arrives salutes his CO::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::sees Clyde's smile but he doesnt return it. He looks at Collins:: CSci > This Kasei person sounds like a spoiled aristocrat..
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>::Nods::+T+ Lt Collins, would you please escort the Godai assemblange to the Kasei's quarters? Insure that the corridors are clear and that no one other than the Godai touch his belongings.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> I shall escort them now
Marshal Collins: CSCI>TAC>So you would say, but I wonder how his own culture would judge him?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>+T+CO>Acknowledge, ma'am. Heading there now. ::He gets up and heads toward the bridge TL.::TAC>I guess you have the bridge, Aidan... try not to blow us up. ::He leaves.::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC> Kasie>AMB> If you will follow me
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > oh fun, I have the bridge.. ::he says to himself as Collins leaves::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Arrives at Cargo Bay 8, and escorts the Godai assemblage to their Kasei's quarters. He offers to help with the heavy packages, but they refuse vehemently, so he simply just walks ahead of them telling jokes. He soon learns they do not have a sense a humor.::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Walks to the Kasie's quarters::
Shran113: ACTION>All Godai have been transported aboard and Earth Spacedock clears the Aryes to leave the Sol System.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>Kasei> I hope you like it ::opens is door for him and steps a side::
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He steps inside his ear flaps moving up and down.::CSEC>I suppose it will have to do for now. I hope this is not a long trip.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > =T= CO > . Bridge to Captain. We have everyone aboard and we've been cleared to leave the Sol system
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> Should not be long if you need nothing elase I shall go your people are on their way
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>+T+TAC> Then please do so, Mister McKenzie.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > =T= CO > Will do, ma'am Shran113: ACTION>The Aryes clears spacedock and head out of Earth Space at Warp 6, destination the Godai Imperium.

Shran113: Tonight we will pick up a few days after we left off last week. The USS Aryes is transporting the Federation Ambassador Yllana Rilt and the Kasei of the Godai people back to his native government, the Godai Imperium. As we start tonight the Aryes is six hours from the border of the Godai Imperium. Meanwhile the Kasei has proven to be a less than amicable visitor.
Shran113: He has spent most of his time on the ship demanding luxuries and other favors he believes better befitting his position of living god. The closer tp Godai space the ship gets the worse it seems.
Shran113: Are there any questions?
Marshal Collins: No, sir
Major Clyde Greathouse: No SIr
cindyleemckenzie: No SIr
AidanMcKenzie1: No, sir

Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> I'll be glad when we deliver him
ST NPC01: KASEI>::The turbolift opens and Ki Royshu steps onto the bridge.::CO>This is unacceptable, Captain. Your replicators refuse to create the daimino pieces I need to set up my kieko chess pieces... It says I have reached my rationed limit of replicator matter. I demand something be domne about this.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Looks at KASEI::

AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::glances over to see the Kasei then turns to Clyde:: CSec > I didnt think kids were allowed on the bridge
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC> THeir not
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>Watch your tongue. You are in the presence of a living god. I am no child. When we return to my home I will have you strung up by your legs and run through the streets of the imperial city.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> Get off the bridge

AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > if you're a god then I'm a Q
Shran113: AMB>CSEC>Major, I beg your pardon for one moment. Surely the ruler of a soverign governemnt can be an exception this time.
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>I did not know that Q in your language was how you began the word "worthless?"
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC> AMB> He can have my rations if it gets him off this bridge
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > if you want to see worthless, i suggest you find a mirror
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Kasei> ::Nods, exhaling her frustration with his continued demands:: Amb> Kasei> We are six hours away from Godai. Perhaps the Kasei, would prefer something different? May I suggest that he use members of his entourage to replace
CmdrHelenGrace: to pieces that our replicator can not provide?
ST NPC01: KASEI>CO>I demand, that your tacitcal officer be made to apologize for insulting my imperial person. I will not take such talk from an obvious commoner and thug.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>CSEC> Tac> Both of you will either show our guest toe proper respect of you may leave the bridge. Am I understood?
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> Yes Ma'am
Shran113: AMB>CSEC>Thank you, Major, and CO>I do apologize Captain. We will be leaving. Thank you all for your understanding. ::She seems a bit frazzled, es[pecially for a Betazed.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > Thug? I may be common but I'm not a thug you spoiled brat ::with that, he shuts up::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASIE> I appoligize
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Ma'am, incoming contacts on mutiple vectors! ::He hands fly over the console. Their weapons are powered up!

Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CSEC> REd ALert
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> CSCI> Do not raise shields or power up in reposnse. Open a comm channel.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac . ::he taps hos constols trying to get the shields up:: CO > Sorry captain, somethings came up and I have something important to do

Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Minimal damage the shots were fired at extremem range. I'm opening a hailing frequency. ::He watches his console.:: Only one response. "Long live the Mejii"
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Amb> please escort the Kasei back to his quarters
ST NPC01: KASEI>Mejii rebels! They will hang for attacking me!
Shran113: AMB>KASEI>The captain is right. You will be safe in your quarters, Kasei.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>Bridge> What in the heck is going on up there?
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Amb > no offense admiral but get him out of here even if you have to carry him out
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Sends security to cover vitial areas including Kasei's quarters::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>+T+CENG>Normal day at the office up here, Zee... You know how it is.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Amb> The Mejii are rebels, Ambassador?
Shran113: ACTION>The Ambassador is still trying to convince the Kasei to leave the bridge as more weapons fire rocks the hull. this time more violently, and with greater impact.
ZeelaPeers: CENG>+T+CSCI>I know that people are starting to make a habit of beating hell out of my ship and I wish they would stop.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::nearly loses his footing:: CO > Captain, I would suggest we raise shields and fire back
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> My Apoligies Ma'am Kasei> GeT off before I remove you
Marshal Collins: CSCI>Impact on decks 18 through 23. We lost secondary enviromentals.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> Defensive maneuvers only, Mister mckenzie. Keep us out of weapons range.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>AMB> Ambassador? ::A note of urgency in her voice::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO > that can be easier said then done, but I'll try ::locks into helm and starts evasives
Shran113: AMB>CO>The Mejii were a populace coup that overthrew the Godai ruling council after the death of the Kasei's father. He was only a few years old. They opposed the rigid caste system of their society and tried to impliment democracy. That was the last we ever heard of them.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Activates all Security forces and Marines::
Shran113: CO>AMB>We were told that the Mejii government deteoraited and eventually collapsed, leading to a return of the ruling council's power. That was why the Kasei was invited back to the Imperium.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>AMB>Well it seems like there are still at least some of these Mejii left... CO>Ma'am, I count 8 light attack vessels.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Amb> Apparently, not all of them. Very well, then. Tac>Red alert.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::taps a key, starting red alert:: ALL > All hands to battle stations, this is no drill people
Shran113: ACTION>The distinctive claxon of the red alert sounds throughout the Aryes hull as men and women of the Federation man their stations and prepare for battle.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Amb > with all due respect, if you want mr. god to stay alive, get him off the bridge!
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> I have all security and Marines activated
ST NPC01: KASEI>CO>The rebels wish to prevent my return. Show them the true power and wrath of their Kasei.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Gets Sickbay ready for wounded::
Marshal Collins: CSCI+T+CENG>Zee, dear... Those first few impacts before the shields were raised caused a few hull breaches on deacks 18 through 23... perhaps you could take a look at them if your not too busy.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> ::Activates the channel:: This is Commmander Grace of the USS Aryes, you will cease your offensive immediately.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::adds to the captain's comment:: or suffer the consequences!
ZeelaPeers: CENG>+T+CENG> Caught on the main board. I've already got teams on it. You should sees it on your console.
ST NPC01: MEJII>+T+CO>We will never cease as long as the tyranny of the Kasei and his warlords persist. Long live the Mejii. Death to the Kasei!
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> Target weapons only Mister McKenzie, but show them we mean business.
Shran113: ACTION>The Mejii light attack vessels are faster and more manuverable than the Aryes, but their weapons are weaker and their shields are not as strong. They swarm the bigger ship like birds swooping down on an elephant.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::brings multi targeting systems online, activating phasers and torpedos:: CO > weapons locked
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> Fire.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>Nurses> I want emergy cases on that side lesser this side
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He holds onto his console as the ship is rocked by more enemy fire.::+T+CENG>I see it... I hope you see how much fun we are having.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::fires a couple of shots out ahead of the smaller ships, trying to guess their trajectory and make them fly into the shot::
ST NPC01: KASEI>I will see all those who oppose me burn in the deepest regions of death's wasteland. CO>Destroy them Captain! Show them no mercy!
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::watches how fast they are::
ZeelaPeers: CENG>+T+CSCI> With those two overgrown teenagers on the bridge. If I were you I"d look out for more weapons fire.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > what do you think we're doing already?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Shields down to 86%. Their weapons aren't powerful, but they are concentrating their fire on one spot, near our port nacelle...
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Kasei> They will be your responsibility Kasei when you regain your throne. For now, our responsibility is still to see you safely returned to it.
ST NPC01: KASEI>CO>I would expect more cooperation if the Federation truly wants an alliance wiht my people... TAC>You... Provincial Thug... I forgot your name... I order you to destroy them without mercy.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSCI > rerouting power to the port nacelle::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> Lieutenant, why do those ships still have active weapons?
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO > cause i havent hit them yet
ZeelaPeers: CENG>+T+CSCI> I'm adding power to forward shields you better keep them in front of you.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > Dont worry about my name.. just shut up and let me do what you command
Shran113: ACTION>A phaser blast finally connects with the more agile ships. The blast proves more powerful than expected to the frail vessel, and the ship loses not only weapons, but engines, and life support.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::walks over to Kasei::Kasei> Walking off or carryed your joice
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac>Then take out their shields first , then concentrate on weapons, or will we wait until they have us first?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>+T+CENG>That's like trying to keep a cloud of Coranian Gnats in front of you.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > Clyde, do you job and dont worry about the brat ::turns to the captain:: CO > I am doing what I can, I can'
AidanMcKenzie1: t promise anything
Shran113: AMB>KASEI>We need to leave, Kasei. The captian is well equipped to handle...
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>CSEC> It seems we're have more gusts, major. Have your teams prepare to take on the survivors. CSCI> How many are aboard?
ST NPC01: KASEI>CSEC>I order you to back off.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::with the phasers, he fires in a wide arc::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> Yes Ma'am ::calls his marines to be ready for guests::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> You do know I can crush you?
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>I read 12 life signs on each ship.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> Marines in route
Shran113: ACTION>The wide arc phaser takes out two more ships, this time more gently.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>CSCI> Transport them aboard, please.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::fires off a couple torpedos, letting some of the buzzards fly into them::
Major Clyde Greathouse: ::Marines arive at the transporter room::
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He stands for a moment.::CSEC>I would not tempt it.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Aye ma'am. ::He activates the transporter and rescues the 12 man crew of the dying attack vessel. He transports them to the waiting marine teams.::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> Don't worry
Major Clyde Greathouse: MAR>Raise your hands::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::looks to both Clyde and Kasei:: CSec, Kasei > do you boys wnt to behave or do I have to take you over my knee..?
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC> DO your Job
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>Return to destroying my enemies...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec, Kasei > I am..
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Three more contacts on fast approach... They are bigger than the others, but still not as big as us.
Shran113: ACTION>Three larges vessel suddenly appear on the viewscreen. They begin to indiscrimately fire on the smaller attacking vessel, descimating their ranks, not worrying or caring about survivors.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> MArines have them taking them to sickbay then the brig
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO > Three more larger vessels just showed up, firing on the smaller vessels and the survivors
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Starts scans on the new people::
Shran113: ACTION>The prisoners are taken into custody by the Aryes Marines without much trouble.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Kasei> Your "Glory". You should not be here. It is not safe. Your quarters are better protected and it is my job to insure you reach Godai so that you may continue to destroy, if you wish, those who oppose you.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::From what I can tell their fine::
Major Clyde Greathouse: MAR>::Take them to the brig::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> identify those vessels.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>They are destroying everything, ma'am. Even the vessels we already disabled. ::He puts it up on the viewscreen.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CO > I'm on it, attempting to now.
ST NPC01: KASEI>CSCI>Of course they are, and CO>No need to identify them, captain. They belong to my fleet. I would recognize my Imperial escort anywhere.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> A God who needs a fleet
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>CSCI> Are there any survivors?
Shran113: ACTION>The battle is still ragin outside the Aryes, but a calm has come as most of the Mejii ships have been destroyed. The lead ship sends a hail to the Aryes.
Major Clyde Greathouse: MAR>+T+CSEC> Prisoners in the brig::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::stops firing as the hail comes in:: CO > incomming hail
ST NPC01: KASEI>CSEC>They are merely tools much like your phaser.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Tac> Acknowledge it, lieutenant and put it onscreen.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> If you say
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>None that I can see. Tow ship remain they are fleeing and heading to warp. One of the new arrivals is breaking off to pursue.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> Prisoners in brig
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > :;taps another key, transferring hail to the screen
AidanMcKenzie1: ::
Shran113: ADM>+T+CO>This is Admiral Lo Thresul of the Godai Imperium War Vesself Kryoto. We apologize for our late arrival, but we can see that the rebels proved nothing you could not handle.
ST NPC01: KASEI>CSEC>I would suggest you use your brains, but I can see that such a suggestion would be a waste of life's breath.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> I sujust you grow up
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > Don'y you ever shut up?.
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>If I am child as you insist, than you do understand that you are exchanging insults with a child, do you not?
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > so you admit you are a child and not a god?
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>::Purses her lips grimly::This is Commander Grace of the USS Aryes. We were under the impression that this Mejii rebellion was already under control and this was the reason the Kasei might now return. Has the situation changed?
AidanMcKenzie1: Don't
Shran113: ADM>+T+CO>You will forgive me if I do not wish to share our internal politics with an outsider such as yourself, Captain. However I can assure you that the situation is well in hand. the attack happened beyond outr soverign borders because the Mejii would never dare to return to our space. it would be the end of their lives.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Thinks a I'll be glad when this brat is gone::

CmdrHelenGrace: CO>Adm> It seems that they were lost, nonetheless, admiral. ::She motions the Kasei forward.:: However as you can see, the Kasei is safe here and our orders are to see him safely transported to Kasei. I'm sorry admiral, but I can not agree to the transfer.

Shran113: ADM>+T+CO>It does not sound to be a very hospitable environment for our young god. Your crew sounds rather insulting. I do not think that is an acceptable way to treat our rule, Captain. You can understand my wariness at your orders.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Looks at Tac::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec > yes?
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> Adm> you are correct, admiral and that too is my responsibility. The kasei was asked to leave the bridge several times and return to his quarters where he would be safer, but he refused.
ST NPC01: KASEI>::Interrupts.::+T+ADM>There is no need for concern, Admiral. The people of the this ship are merely demonstrating why they are inferior to us. I appreciate the sentiment, but perhaps I will remain on this ship. I believe I have found a new piece for my game board. ::He looks at Aidan.::
Shran113: ADM>+T+KASEI>As you command surpeme one. ::he salutes.:: We will of course offer you and escort to your ancestral home. ::he salutes and the channel cuts out.::

Shran113: Tonight we will pic up where we left off last week. Mr. McKenzie is currently with the Kasei as his own people have seemingly turned on him.
Shran113: The Aryes herself was just ejected from warp speed after Lieutenant Peers quick thinking in disarming the suicide bomb that nearly took out engineering.
Shran113: But now the ship in pursuit of the Aryes is closing in fast and it looks like the only option left open is a fight. Close behind the pursuing ship is also Admiral Thresul's ship.
Shran113: Additionally, though Engineer Peers was able to identify that the jamming signal currently blocking the ship's communications is coming from the Aryes it has yet to be found or deactivated. So the ship is essentially without outside communications.

ZeelaPeers: CENG>+T+CSCI> You will have full weapons functionality, but the explosion effected the manuevering thrusters too so you may not be able to turn as easily.
Shran113: ACTION>The pursuin ship bears down on the Aryes and fires its disruptors. The shots impact on the shields and the ship vibrates, just as three more Godai attendants attack Lieutenant McKeznie with thier weapons.
Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::he would duck and roll, trying to use the lamp to take out all three at the knees::

Shran113: ACTION>The Aryes is lsugish turning, but she is still powerful and she gives as good as she can get in the ptiched battle between the Starfleet ship and the Ryuu-class War Vessel.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>CSCI>Keep our shields flexible. Move them wherever necessary until full helm control is restored.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Aye ma'am

Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::picks up the lamp again and tries to leg sweep the one charging in::

ZeelaPeers: CENG>+T+CSCI> Okay Collins, the signal is coming from deck 8 section 6 in the VIP quarters. Don't say I never gave ya anything.
Aidan McKenzie: ATac > ::was about to fire another volley of weapons when the console sparks. He shields his eyes::

CmdrHelenGrace: for the Kasei's::
Shran113: ACTION>The Godai is caught off guard. He is knocked aside with the impact of Lieutenant McKezie's body. Security hesitates as they cannot get a clear shot, but the older Godai Attendant lands hard on the ground, his own blade impaling into his gut. He dies within seconds. His eyes looking up at Aidan.

ST NPC01: ADM>T+CO>I will gladly do the destroying. Captain, you over extend yourself. Your ship is damaged. Mine is not. We purposely lagged behind to allow you to sustain the brunt of the inevitable battle.... I will save you the trouble as well. Captain Tang was correct.

Aidan McKenzie: Tac > ::he felt the ship get rocked again by enemy fire. He wanted to get to the bridge to assume his post but then he also had been ordered to look after the Kasei. That in itself deserves a promotion. he then looked back to the Kasei:: Kasei > You ok after all that?

cindyleemckenzie: McKenzie
Shran113: Excellent. Welcome back everyone. We will pick up where we left off last week. Admiral Thresul, our former escort has made his intentions clear. He wants the Kasei for himself so that he can proclaim himself de facto ruler of the Godai Imperium.
Shran113: To this end the Admiral has turned his guns on the wounded Aryes. With secondary damage and weakened shields the USS Aryes is not out of the fight, but victory will most assuredly come at a price.
Shran113: Lieutenant McKenzie is still with the Kasei and helped to thwart the assassination attempt by the Kasei's own enterouge, but may now have to protect the young boy against what may prove an even bigger threat.
Shran113: Are there any questions?
Marshal Collins: No, sir
Major Clyde Greathouse: No Sir
cindyleemckenzie: No Sir
ZeelaPeers: None here
Shran113: Very good.
Shran113: =====RESUME SIM=====
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::working toget shileds stronger::
Shran113: ACTION>The Ryuu-class War Vessel under control of Admiral Thresul opens up with a salvo of disruptor fire on the Aryes. The Starfleet ship's shields crackle and flare as the weapons impact against them and the ship vibrates from the barrage of fire.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> CSCI> Full weapons spread, Mr Collins. Let us show them what we're made from.
cindyleemckenzie: CNS>::Taking care of wounded::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>XO>The admiral's ship is firing on us, ma'am. Shields down to 37%
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::REturns fire aiming at their weapons::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::busy straightening up the mess that was caused by the skirmish, only to fall on his butt again when the ship is fired on again:: NOIP > now who?
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>Your assistance was most welcome. ::The ship shakes and he falls to the ground from the vibration.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > you can thank me when your safely on your planet and on the thrown
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>If I ever get there. Perhaps my attendants were right. Perhaps, I am unfit to lead. Why else would all my subjects be trying to capture or kill me.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Holds on to his station as the ship rocks::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > tell you what, if you're unfit to lead that I am unfit to be here. Course, I feel like I belong here
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::Bobs and weaves the ship through the enemy fire. The soveriegn class ship is suprisingly nimble for her size, but is still unable to avoid all the enemy fire while accurately returning it.:: CO>23% shields
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>How can you be certain where you belong or what you are meant to do? Were you born on this ship? Is this all you have known?
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CO> If we devert power from uncerray system we can bost shileds
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He fires a full spread of torpedeos. They impact on the opposing ship rocking it in space. The Godai ship bleeds energy from some unseen wound but still keeps coming like a wounded and rabid predator.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he laughs like it was the funniest thing he ever heard. He born on this ship?:: Kasei > No to both questions. I was born long before this ship was even thought of being built. I come from earth's early 21st century, that's about 350 years ago on the calendar. Somehow I stepped through a temporal anomoly and I ended up here.
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>CSEC> We have nothing left to defend ourselves with, major. All that's left to us is taking the offensive.
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>So how can you know where you belong at all. You were born in a time that no longer is? How are you certain that you are meant to be here... so far removed form your home
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>CSCI> Thier leaking energy fire at it
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he shakes his head a bit:: Kasei > I don't really know but I guess you can callit a feeling. Besides, if I didn't belong here, i would think some cosmic forward would take me back
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CSEC>Easier said than done. They have reinforced their shields in that spot and keeping their wounded side away from our phaser nodes. ::his hands fly over the controls.::
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>I understand you trust in a greater plan. You are where the universe is meant to bring you. I wish I had that much faith in the cosmos or in myself... It is ironic you are so sure you are meant to beso far from home and yet I am unsure that I am meant to return home... meant to be Kasei...
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Looks at the battle::
Shran113: ACTION>The Aryes shields flicker and die sa a torpedoe impct shakes the ship. The shields are only down for a few seconds but it is enough for the opposing ship to take full advantage and beam teams aboard to search for the Kasei.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CSEC>CO>I have multiple enemy contacts onboard. Decks 12, 16, and 3.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Sends his Marines and Security to repaile the boarders::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > I still wonder if I am in the right place and time or not, but when I see my wife and two girls. I know I am. When I first got here I wasn't sure either. I thought how the heck am I gonna get back.. now I dont want to go back and the best thing we can do is be the best at what we do.. although with you, your people are depending on you. This ship often depends on me
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC >::The men rush to the areas they beamed in at and start fireing::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO> CSEC> Major, I think you know what needs to be done. Perhaps with their teams aboard, it will afford us some breathing space.
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACE>ALL> Take them down ::he yells as they move on them::
Shran113: ACTION>Skirmishes break out all over the ship. The Godai are fierce combatants and highly trained close-quarters warriors and the battles quickly become pitched as the Starfleet marines fight to even hold ground.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Rushes out to join the fight::
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He thinks about it.::TAC>I suppose time will tell.
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACE>Hold your ground men
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Turns a corner and fires at them::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>::He manuvers the ship as he controls get more and more sluggish.::+T+CENG>Zee, how we doing on repairs down there? The impulse drives are off by 1.356. Can you doa nything?
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACE>::Goes to hand to hand combat::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Kasei > Yes, I have heard that. Just do the best you can and perhaps think of what I would do then do the opposite ::laughs, trying to make him feel better::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>+T+CO> Yes Ma'am
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Grabs one slamming him into the wall::
Shran113: ACTION>The sound of phaser fire and hand to hand combnat can be heard growing in the corridor near the Kasei's quarters.
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>Thank you. Perhaps you are not as 'common' as I initially believed... ::he hears the sounds of battle outside.
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACE>ALL> Keep them away ::grabs on e snaping its neck::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>You missed with the wrong ship ::Fires at two enemy::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he nods at the Kasei and would reply further if it werent for the sounds of battle:: Kasei > looks like you better go hide. I wish i had a weapon
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACE>::A Marine jams his dagger into ones head::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Has security form aline at Kasei's quarters::
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He looks for a place to hide but stops.::TAC>No... This time I will not hide. I am the Kasei of the Godai Imperium. I am the Bringer of the Light and the Keeper of Darkness. I am the Creator and the Destroyer. I am the Son of the Moon and the Daughter of the Seas. You have given me much to consider, Common Lieutenant McKenzie... I will not hide... not this time.
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACE>::A marine kicks one in the chest::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Joins the Security team at Kasei's quarters::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he nods at what the Kasei says :: Kasei > As you wish, your highness but I'll have your back again in the fight.. or rather you have my back
Major Clyde Greathouse: ACE>::They fight hand to hand and switche to phasers when they can::
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He steps out of his quarters into the battle ridden hallway.::ALL>Stop! Stop! I order you all to STOP!
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> Get back!
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he steps out as well:: ALL > I ask you all to stop!
Shran113: WARRIOR>::He sees the Kasei and charges him.::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::he grabs the Kasei and pulls him back::

ST NPC01: KSAEI>CSEC>Stop!... Do not kill him. He is my subject.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>SEC> Protect the KSAEI at all costs
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KSAEI> Hes trying to kill you
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Sec > belay that.. that's my job
ST NPC01: KASEI>::he shrugs off McKenzie's touch.::CSEC>I order you to stop. This man is my subject. I will not see him harmed.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Punches a warrior:: KASEI> Do you see them listing to you
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > Clyde > The road to peace does not involve fighting. I know I am below your rank but I suggest you listen
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He approaches the man Major Greathouse had wounded, ignoring the combat around him. The man is weary, but still alert. he kneels down by his side. He touches the man and gently and as if in a trance the warrior lays back and sleeps.::WARRIOR>Be at peace.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Sees the KASEI:: KASEI> What the hey
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He stand again.::ALL>I am the Sun, I am the Moon. I am the rain, and I am the fire. I am the Kasei of the Godai. I am eternal and I am finite. LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS!
ZeelaPeers has left the room.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > CSec, Sec > Stand down. That's an order! ::he knew no one would listen::
Shran113: ACTION>The other Godai, do not comply all at once, but slowly the fight drains out of them and they stop fighting. Some are as if in a trance, others simply comply out of fear or awe of the Boy god. Eventually they all come to kneel.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>KASEI> When they lay their weapons down
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::His men all stop fighting::
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::just shakes his head as Clyde ignores him::
ST NPC01: KASEI>TAC>I told you I was a god. ::he smiles.:: TAC>Take me to the bridge... please...
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::looks at the Kasei with a smirk:: Kasei > as you wish, follow me
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::turns and heads for the nearest TL::
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>::Steaps aside::
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>Shields down to 23%. The Admiral's ship is damaged, but I have reports of minor hull breaches through out the lower elvels and we are bleeding power at a rate .04% a minute. We have lost secondayr sensors and environmentals. Artifical gravity is damages on decks 13, 14, and 17.
Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>SEC> Take them all to the brige
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::enters the TL, waiting for the Kasei:: CSec > we can't all fit in the TL..
ST NPC01: KASEI>::He follows Lieutenant McKenzie to the nearest turbolift and up to the bridge where they step off into the controlled choas that is the bridge of starship admidst battle.::

Major Clyde Greathouse: CSEC>TAC> SEc not t onge
Major Clyde Greathouse: Sec not getting on
Marshal Collins: CSCI>Two Quantum Torpedo lauchers and six phaser banks are damaged and inoperable. I'm hitting them with everything we have.
AidanMcKenzie1: Tac > ::reaches the bridge with the Kasei, he is shocked and nearly kicks himself. he makes his way over to Tactical, looking at the readings. He shakes his head with a frown::
CmdrHelenGrace: CO>May everything be enough.
Marshal Collins: CSCI>CO>They are as badly damaged as us. I have a feeling though they aren't going to stop... ::He sees Aidan and the Kasei enter..::

ST NPC01: KASEI>::He looks to Aidan and smiles for a moment before returning to the viewscreen.::ADMIRAL>You are incorrect. I was born for it. A friend once told me that the "best thing we can do is be the best at what we do." You may be the best admiral, but you can never be the best Kasei.
