Mission: Insurrection [Fleet Plot]
=*= Zetari =*=
Sa'Tak stood within main ops with Lieutenant Dan, the rest of the crew had been sent on down to spend time doing whatever they had wanted to. At this point in time the Vulcan had no care to know what they were doing, hell some were likely even trying to grab an escape pod for all he knew. Not that they would survive, no one would. He and the UFP had seen to that.
A PaDD was now held within his hand, having stepped into his office earlier to grab it. Though he may have made a mistake in trusting the Captain of the Medusa. The UFP hadn't been careless when it came to the Station on one part.
“Everything is ready?”
“Yes, you have all the information you need. I reprogrammed the computer for you and you alone, and should something happen to you and one of them try to mess with it, it will trigger the backup .” Dan replied, knowing how important it had been for him to do this. It was why the UFP had trained him as well as they had. Only a level one computer operator could achieve what he had and so the UFP had promised much to him and or his family should he live or die in this war... as long as he'd done his job right.
“Now?” The Lieutenant asked with a look to the Vulcan.
“No. They likely think they have won, and as they can't contact us. The woman will logically beam over here with a team to take back what she feels is Starfleets. I desire to see her face when she realized that she will die along with her Station.
=*= Vesuvius =*=
The silence was almost deafening as Kassi gazed over the scene before her, one hand resting on the railing. Ship parts were scattered here and there, along with a few dead in the sea ships from both sides. The twinkling of a few ships that currently sought out rescue pods and searched in hopes of finding more living. It was the first time that all shooting had stopped and what should be her moment to smile at the fact that they had at least managed to get the Station to a point were Sa'Tak would have no choice but to surrender... felt off. Why? She wondered as she started pacing a little, ignoring the strange looks that a few shot her.
The few minutes of silences seemed an eternity, before she suddenly stopped and looked back to the mess before them. A hard shiver ran though her, a realization or perhaps a prophet had whispered something to her. One likely would never know. Blurting out suddenly to the crew on the bridge. “Colonel Fischer. We need to get this ship back away from the Station, Now.”
Looking to the communications officer with a hard swallow. “Alert the rest of the fleet to back up away from the Station. We will meet up a little later, but right now... Move.”
Fischer didn't question her, ordering his helmsman to back away at 1/2 impulse. The comm center likewise relayed the message to the fleet.
=*= Fenrir / Halle =*=
The Fenrir wasn't gonna make it just too much damage, they launched all the escape pods which were quickly picked up by the Halle. They also picked up a couple ones from Zetari.
Lieutenant Commander Rozen Coo sat in the escape pod after the 'abandon ship' call was given. He was picked up by the Halle and quickly tried to make his way to the bridge.
=*= USS Medusa =*=
The order was received but Nathan wasn't ready to run just yet. Another volley was ordered and Medusa's advanced torpedo launchers let out a final salvo, firing as fast as they could be until the intense heat shut the system down. There were only so many reasons that Denterius would order the ships to move back and if Nathan's hunch was right as to what that reason was he intended to take out as many opposition ships as possible on the way out. They couldn't be allowed to survive, didn't deserve the gift of continued life.
Another ship came across Medusa's nose and as much as Hunter wanted to see it destroyed as well they had remained near the station long enough. "Make you bearing one eight zero, maximum impulse. We need to move our asses, prepare for impact." Hunter's curt and sharp orders came through clenched teeth, the tiny bit of hope he was capable of pleading with all its might for Denterius to be wrong.
=*= Zetari =*=
“Captain, They are retreating?” Dan said with a slight look of surprise as he stepped closer as if to get a better look. After all, that was not part of their plans, then again the best laid plans always did seem to have flaws in them somewhere.
“I see.” Sa'Tak said with a scowl before moving to the main console. “We must do this now before they get to far away.” Setting the PaDD down, he started reading off what was on it. His voice was full of determination and hate. Enough that it sent a shiver down Lieutenant Dan's spine, not that he knew that, his focus was on getting things done.
“Computer, activate Auto destruct. Captain Sa'Tak, Commanding officer of Starbase 204B. Destruct sequence 1, Code One-One-Alpha. Code One-One-Beta. Code Six-Six-Six-Alpha”
[Computer] "Destruct sequence completed and engaged. Awaiting final code for thirty second countdown."
“Code zero zero zero destruct zero” Sa'tak said as he looked to the console, a slight nod as the it showed the countdown, but nothing verbal came from the computer now.
“You did well, you are dismissed from duty.” Was all that was said to Dan as he turned and took a seat to prepare himself for the explosion that was about to come. One that would hopefully take out the rest of the ships that were still around. Starfleet would not get this station back.
