[i][u]If only I had a good title...[/u][/i]
The Oceania, Mighty frigate of the Triumvirate, carried on it's board six very special passengers, plus one... it had been a week and a half since the six new arrivals had come onboard the Oceania, and already bonds had been formed.
Drew had met our seventh hero, Derrick Tibernes. A young man not from this galaxy, he quickly grew enamoured with the young Drew. She, too, warmed up to him, despite being gifted with frosting abilities. She had revealed her secret to him, they had grown close, although her friends took ample pleasure trying to trample on what they had. But Derrick didn't let that stop them. Derrick, however, still hadn't revealed his dire secret to her... but the right time would come. He knew this.
Now, we find our seven heroes (?) On the bridge of the Oceania, where they all stood at their stations. The fast ship was exploring the outer reaches of the galaxy, where everything was possible...

[i]Drew sat on her console. Her eyes were closing on her and the wonders of space did not help her case. She turned to Derrick, and mouthed to him "I'm bored." It was an understatement. [/i]
-
He chuckles, smiling at his beloved Drew. He mouthed back. [i]I know. Me too.[/i] He was bored, yes, but simply being in Drew's presence was enough to make him smile. Suddenly, a red alert appeared on Drew's console. Emergency distress call, from the Sector Zeta-Omicron 345. A code 121, looter attack.
-
[i]Drew did a double take ather console and immediately straightened her posture. After decifering the code, she turned to the captain.[/i] "Captain, we have a distress call. Looters, I think."
-
Captain Moch, standing in front of the 'windows', nodded. [i]"Understood, Ensign. Lieutenant, bring us to the coordinates, full phase engines. Bring all weapons to bear, shields up. Red alert."[/i] Derrick inputted the coordinates, and activated the engine. David had a job to do, as tactical operator, as did the science crew. The ship went on alert, all hands prepared for combat.
-
[i]A small smile formed in David's face. He would finally get to use the weapons system the frigate had to offer. As for Xavier and Carter, Xavier was working at a fast rate while he gave Carter order on what to do. Carter could understand how it all worked, but Xavier is reluctant in explaining things to him. No one knows why.[/i]
-
The ships were odd, very odd. They seemed like they had been built through patchwork, in a geometry that made no sense. How they held together, a complete mystery. There were five of them, and they were assaulting a space station that was clearly unable to defend itself, since it had fires spread through some parts of it.
-
[i]The shields were up, and all the cannons were aimed at the hostile ships. David turned to the captain, eager to shoot them down.[/i] "On your mark, Captain." "Should I patch up the comms with them?" [i]Drew was at her station, tense from the situation.[/i]
-
[i]"Ensign David, fire on their weapons systems with a full concussion missile slavo, for each ship. Activate the point defense system, shoot down any incoming projectiles. Shields'll hold against energy weapons. Ensign Drew, go ahead with that suggestion. Then set up a beacon for the fleet, we might need support. Lieutenant Derrick, Evasive maneuvers, pattern Alpha Three."[/i] "Yes, Sir!" Derrick did as asked. The large yet nimble frigate followed a strike pattern that allowed the ship's multiple Diamond-Boron missile batteries to fire freely at their opponents for maximum effect.
-
[i]David grinned from end to end as he launched salvos at each enemy ship. Drew set up communications with the space station letting them know help arrived. However in the heat of the moment, she focused her attention solely on contacting the station. She did not send a beacon out to the rest of the fleet, yet.[/i]
-
The Pirate ships were hit by the missiles, which did a lot of damage. Some managed to race out of the anticipated target zone, making the missile hit somewhere else. But for the most part, the ships were without their primary batteries. So they took on a more dangerous approach. The three weaponless ship raced towards the frigate, on a collision course. "Sir, they're headed for us full throttle!" Derrick said. [i]"Stay calm. Keep up the Evasive maneuvers. Pattern Echo Bravo. Ensign david, prepare to fire all Turbolaser batteries on their engines as soon as they come into view. In the meantime, fire all Ion cannons at will."[/i] He pressed a microphone button on his command console, he still stood proudly in the front of the bridge. [i]"All fighter crews, report to your hanger, repeat, all fighter crews launch immediately."[/i] He ended the communication. [i]"Ensign Drew, I need that beacon up now!"[/i]
-
Thanks for Derrick's expert piloting, the ship made a close loop around the enemy ships, who were slowing down due to the ion blasts. With their engines exposed, the turbolaser batteries made their engines explode in a glorious blaze, sending one of them right into another ship, the two of them exploding shortly thereafter. The third ship, immobilized and weaponless, was useless, so the Oceania turned its attention to the remaining two ships. Batteries of missiles were being fired at the frigate, but it's expert laser Point Defense system managed to shoot them down beforehand. Energy weapons being fired at them did little damage, as they crashed on the shields, who held strong. Fighters launched from the Oceania's ventral hangar, flying towards the two assaulting destroyers. The strike fighters harassed the weapons systems of the ship, while the slower bombers hit hard, and hit where it mattered.
-
[i]Drew jumped in her seat. The captain startled her, and she almost froze her console. Literally. But she managed to get the beacon started. As for David, he opened fire on the ships with the Ion cannons. As the ships got close enough, he unleashed the Turbolaser's. Aimee directly at the engines.[/i]

[i]The group marveled at the power this frigate had. Against five enemy ships, it fought back and took no damage. Everyone remained silent, but eagerly waiting for any commands.[/i]
-
Blips appeared on the radar display, which was Drew's station. Incoming enemy ships, warp speed, they seriously outnumbered the lone frigate. [i]"Increase to full throttle, Helm. All batteries, fire at will at the two remaining ship, but watch for friendly fire. Let's take care of them."[/i] Derrick raised the ship's speed, approaching the two remaining ships, who were under assault by the fighters still.
-
[i]David fired at the two ships, aimed for maximum damage and minimal friendly fire, and aimed the other available weapons in the direction where the hostile ships would be.[/i]
-
The radar kept blaring at Drew, the ships were still closing in fast. Meanwhile, the remaining two ships were set ablaze, exploding with the fighter craft away from harm.
-
[i]Drew finally took notice of the radar and let the captain know if it.[/i] "Captain, we have multiple hostiles coming from all around us!"
-
[i]"Damn! Defensive position. We'll have to hold the line until reinforcements get here."[/i] Since Drew had told him just in time, the ship managed to fly to the station and cover it, taking power away from the engines and boosting shield and weapon power.
-
[i]The tension was high in the bridge. Xavier was shaking in fear. He finally had enough, so he stood up and screamed at the top of his lungs.[/i] "I can't take this anymore!" [i]He tried to run out of the room, but Carter grabbed the neck of his uniform and pulled him down to the ground.[/i] "I got him, no worries." [i]All seemed fine, but Xavier's head hit the floor. He was out cold. [/i]
-
[spoiler]man. What a pussy lol.[/spoiler] [i]"Incoming!"[/i] The enemy ships came out of light speed, there was as many as ten ships coming down on them. [i]"All stations, prepare for combat. This shall be our finest hour!"[/i] Immediately, the enemy ships began their onslaught. Firing missiles and long-range lasers. [i]"David, fire a full volley of missiles, at will!"[/i]
-
[i]David used the weapons system to his best ability, shooting the closest ships that surrounded them. Meanwhile Carter was a little puzzled at his console. He turned to Xavier who was out cold.[/i] "Get up. Come on Xavier if you don't they'll kill you." [i]No response.[/i]
-
[i]"He's useless. Derrick, take his station!"[/i] "Yes, Sir!" Derrick stood up from the helm and replaced Xavier at the shield station, one of critical importance. The onslaught of weapons fire headed their way. The point defense systems did what they could, but some missiles would break through, striking the frigate. At least the hull was solid. The ship shook with every blast, while the energy attacks crashed against the ship's shield.
-
"You know this system like the back of your hand, right D?"
-
"Yep. I got your back." The assault continued on the Oceania. Missiles kept coming at them, they were trying to knock out the shielding system. "Shields running at fifty percent, sir!" [i]"Aye... what's the progress on the beacon, Drew?"[/i] Asked the captain. [spoiler]50%[/spoiler]
