SB118Ops Mission Logs/Sal Taybrim/Dig Two Graves: Difference between revisions

Unfortunately L'Trena has already poked the bees' nest and the Sienov moves to attack the Avalon in the nebula it was hiding in before either the Albion or the S'Tarahk can get close.  The Avalon spills the fighters she is carrying into battle, but they quickly panic and are routed.  The Albion and the S'Tarahk blaze in at red alert to take some of the heat off, doing considerable damage to the Sienov, but it's too late.  The USS Avalon loses warp containment and blows apart with only a handful of survivors left in its saucer section.  The shockwave does heavy damage to both the Sienov and the Albion - but the warbird recovers much faster than the aging Excelsior class ship.

On board the Avalon death surrounds the survivors, who are mainly contained in sickbay.  Ensign Phrik is tending an injured Captain L'Trena when the Avalon's engines blow and the ship is plunged into darkness.  Along with the CMO and a tiny handful of survivors, the group makes its way out of sickbay and to a place where they can send out a distress signal.  The Albion gets the signal and asks the S'Tarahk to provide cover while they rescue the survivors - but the Sienov won't let up.  Lt. Commander Kelly proposes taking an armored shuttle over to the Avalon to enact the rescue.  The shuttle is launched while the S'Tarahk and Albion continue the offensive against the Sienov.  Finally the Sienov is beaten back and it limps out of the nebula badly damaged.  Unfortunately the S'Tarahk and Albion are equally damaged and resources are running low.
