With the escape capsules transported onto the ''Rhine'', however, the focus for the meteor cluster had disappeared, and the now free-rolling meteors start to pelt the runabout. Ensign [[Ian O'Connor|O'Connor]] attempts to maneuver the ''Rhine'' back out of the meteor swarm, but is unable to do so completely unscathed as he has to use the runabout to punch a route out of the busy swarm. | With the escape capsules transported onto the ''Rhine'', however, the focus for the meteor cluster had disappeared, and the now free-rolling meteors start to pelt the runabout.

As the ''Rhine'' notices a firework display in the far distance to starboard, they realize that the distraction is initiated, and set a course further into the Olidra system. With the impromptu operation concluded, the team turns their attention towards their actual mission, as Ensign [[Luxa Lorana|Lorana]] realizes that the system is surrounded by a chroniton field, which is likely what's masking the system against scans. Within the system, they locate multiple fissures and eddies suffused with Sencha Wave Radiation. | As the ''Rhine'' notices a firework display in the far distance to starboard, they realize that the distraction is initiated, and set a course further into the Olidra system. With the impromptu operation concluded, the team turns their attention towards their actual mission, as Ensign [[Luxa Lorana|Lorana]] realizes that the system is surrounded by a chroniton field, which is likely what's masking the system against scans. Within the system, they locate multiple temporal fissures and eddies suffused with Sencha Wave Radiation. What's more notable is that clearing the chroniton field allows them to see not only planets, but also the veritable army amassed in the system, along with a peculiar-looking superstructure orbiting Olidra IV, which is apparently the source of the Sencha Wave Radiation. | ||

Before the ''Rhine''s crew has much of a chance at laying a plan, they're blindsided by a Sheliak fighter appearing behind some debris, and Ensign [[Ian O'Connor|O'Connor]] demonstrates his piloting skills once more as he weaves between debris, time fissures and eddies while avoiding fire from the fighter. As phaser hits from the ''Rhine'' disable the fighter and Lt.Cdr. [[Alieth]] sees the ''Ronin'' still performing its distracting duties in the distance while the superstructure starts charging another wave, she realizes with some uncomfortability what must be done. The crew of the ''Rhine'' must destroy the superstructure if the ''Ronin''s crew is to stand any chance at escaping the system alive. | |||

Gaudemus Bail, the Captain of the S.S. Sabrina's Delight, realizes that his poorly-maintained freighter is about to give it's final sigh, and backs away from the group at large, just as a large piece of the ship rips apart from the bulkhead and separates him from the rest of the group, trapping them inside the Bridge. Opting for a swift retreat, he bids them farewell and charges away from the trapped group in order to board the ''Kushiro'' and escape to safety. Only, the ''Kushiro'' obviously hadn't docked with the freighter, and with no small amount of satisfaction, Lt.Cdr. [[Toryn Raga|Raga]] simply transports the trapped bridge group out of the freighter. Unfortunately, he also transports the Captain out, even if directly to some restraints in a biobed, where the Al-Leyan XO starts to interrogate him. | Gaudemus Bail, the Captain of the S.S.

While Lt.Cdr. [[Toryn Raga|Raga]] and LT [[V'len Kel|Kel]] do the good cop-bad cop routine in the ''Kushiro''s sickbay, Ensign [[Marty Tucker|Tucker]] attempt to guide the two vessels safely out of the gas giant's atmospheric storm, but manually flying essentially two vessels through a helium-neon rainstorm with one of them barely holding integrity has the Ensign doing the flight manually. | |||

Lt.Cdr. [[Kirsty Lee Carpenter|Carpenter]] starts the party with a load of microtorpedoes, and the ensuing spectacle not only takes out three orbital platforms, but also breaks up the fighter wing that had been steadily approaching. | Lt.Cdr. [[Kirsty Lee Carpenter|Carpenter]] starts the party with a load of microtorpedoes, and the ensuing spectacle not only takes out three orbital platforms, but also breaks up the fighter wing that had been steadily approaching. Dedicating themselves to their charge of 'causing a distraction', Cdr. [[Karrod Niac|Niac]] commands the ''Ronin'' to keep up the pressure, using quick warp jumps as a means to stay ahead of the substantial enemy force they've interrupted in the Olidra-system, to the chagrin of his Chief Engineer. After being warned that breaking the warp threshold might mean pushing the old ship too far, the bridge crew see something ''massive'' appear on the viewscreen. | ||
<br><br> | |||
A leviathan of a construct, an ungodly mesh of Sheliak and Tholian technology, appears seemingly from nowehere and the crystalline formations at its stop start glowing as it releases a charge of Sencha radiation against the approaching ''Ronin'', which the ship is barely able to evade. | |||
