Mission:
The Next Myogi
Location: 811 Badlands
Timeline: Part 2 of 'Blacken Out the Sky'
Previously, on Star Trek: Myogi:
Lieutenant Serena Wilkins climbed down a ladder in engineering to inspect the antimatter containment. Her attempts to bring generator two back online had failed, and without it, the Myogi-A was rapidly losing antimatter containment.
"Antimatter containment fields are failing!" Wilkins reported. "If I can't stabilize them, I'll have to dump the reactor core or she'll blow!"
And now, the continuation:
[USS Myogi-A, Bridge]
The Myogi-A took another hit. Ryosuke had to hold onto his chair with all his strength to avoid being thrown out of it.
"Shields are buckling, Captain!" Anzai announced as she scurried over to man what little remained of the security station.
Nezuko tried everything she could to reroute power to shields. But it was no use. Everything was falling apart.
"Wilkins to Bridge!" Came Wilkins' voice over the bridge crew's combadges.
[USS Myogi-A, Main Engineering]
"I can't hold the antimatter containment fields: Initiating emergency shutdown!" Wilkins reported.
The words had barely left Wilkins' mouth when suddenly there was a massive explosion and a shower of sparks as a scaffolding partially collapsed. More concerning, however, was the rise of a telltale hissing sound that told Wilkins that the Myogi-A's fate was already sealed.
"Coolant leak!" Wilkins declared as she tapped her combadge again. "Bridge, we've got a coolant leak in the engine core, I can't shut it down! I estimate two minutes to a warp core breach!"
There was another explosion as the indicator panel fried itself in a shower of sparks. Knowing that there was now nothing further that she could do for her ship, Wilkins' priority shifted from keeping the lights on to getting her engineering staff out:
"Come on, let's get out!" Wilkins called out as Engineers began to abandon their posts and rush past her. "Go! Go! Go! Go!"
[USS Myogi Bridge]
"The other Myogi is taking a beating Captain. Their shields have failed." Kurumi reported. "I suggest once we enter the rift we close it behind us with photon torpedoes."
"Acknowledged. Arm aft torpedo tubes." Maho ordered. "How long until we enter the rift?"
“Fifty seconds, Captain!” Jane reported. “Maybe more if the impulse drive takes damage!”
"Then lets hope that doesn't happen." Maho said. "Maintain current course and speed."
[USS Myogi-A, Bridge]
The Myogi-A shuddered as it took another hit from Iconian fire.
"Warning: Warp core breach in 60 seconds." The computer called out.
"How long before the other Myogi enters the rift?" Ryosuke asked.
"At their current heading... at least 50 seconds," Anzai reported. "They're going to be cutting it close."
"Divert all remaining power to the defensive systems!" Ryosuke ordered.
Nezuko nodded sharply. Shields almost gone. There was precious little left of the phasers. But there was something. “Shields and weapons have the most they can get.”
"Mars, take these warriors to Elysium." Minerva whispered to herself as the telltale resolving of Iconian teleporters brought four Heralds onto the bridge. She had her phaser up in an instant and shot one of them down before launching herself at one that was raising their weapon to shoot down Nezuko, coming up to her feet sword in hand to fight to the bitter end.
The Herald’s AP beam had missed Nezuko by a hair, but the force of the nearby blast threw her from her seat. Four more Heralds beamed in, aiming and firing at bridge crew.
Some of them dodged.
Others did not. Before anyone could react, one of them took a shot with its cannon and hit Dr. Minerva Zephryn in the lower back as she dueled another blade to blade.
When that one re-aimed its weapon to fire at Commander Anzai, Nezuko got to it first. Her claws sunk deeply into Herald flesh. She ripped and tore, spitting out her respirator to go for its neck with her fangs.
She missed the one come up behind her with its blade weapon, which got her between the shoulders and out through her chest.
She looked up at Ryosuke. {Captain,} she signed, before the blade was withdrawn and she fell dead to the deck.
"If it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get." Ryosuke finally stood from the Captain's chair, unholstering his phaser as fires began to burn on the bridge.
Monica's lifeless body paid on the floor near the science console. Her eyes were wide open staring up at the ceiling. A gaping hold in her stomach straight through her petite fragile body was her cause of depth. A single tear ran down her cheek which has escaped her eyes and was slowly rolling down her cheek.
[Deep Space - Between the Myogis]
A pair of blasts from the Iconian ships zipped past the fleet little craft as Mia danced around trying to draw the fire away from either of the bigger ships. A pair of torpedoes launched from her tubes and she flicked away from the brief attack run as she monitored the weapons until impact, breaking off a piece of one of the enemy ships.
"Banshee, get your butt back here before I come out to drag you back in, you have forty-five seconds." The voice over the comm sounded.
"Copy, Jem, ETA- thirty seconds." Mia flipped the Razor around and jammed the engines to full towards her home base, "God Bless, Myogi." She said over the open comm to the -A as she passed the burning ship that was giving their own lives to give her friends a chance. Three streaks passed her left wing and one on her right as a quartet of Herald torpedoes zipped by and she went past full on the power as she settled in behind the trio and went weapons free. Exploding first one, then the second and finally the third. The ship was coming up awful fast while she flicked her targeting over to the last one and realized she couldn't get it in time AND slow down, "Myogi, emergency transport in three, two-" Simultaneously she pushed the engines far beyond even the red lines she'd gone to and they bleeped for attention warning of five seconds to the craft exploding from overload, "-One-" Her eyes squeezed shut.
The fighter exploded as it impacted the last torpedo chasing USS Myogi.
Having heard the comms traffic from helm, Jane wanted desperately to look to Ops or Tactical to see if they’d gotten Mia. But she needed to keep her eyes on her console, and her mind on the job. “Thirty seconds to the rift!”
"Status of aft torpedo launchers?" Maho asked.
"I have three torpedos armed and ready," Kurumi replied.
"Stand by photon torpedoes on my mark." Maho ordered.
[USS Myogi-A, Bridge]
Ryosuke and Anzai were the last non-Heralds standing on the Myogi-A's bridge as the computer read off thirty seconds until the warp core breach. The burning consoles and bodies on the floor transformed the bridge into something of a hellscape as the captain and XO expertly fought off the attacking Heralds in perfect synchronization.
"You have lost." A voice gloated over the Myogi's coms. "This day belongs to the gods!"
"I wouldn't be so sure..." Ryosuke responded.
As he dueled with a Herald, Ryosuke looked over to the viewscreen, and saw the other Myogi, so close to entering the rift....
"Warning:" The computer called out. "Warp core breach in 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1.."
As the seconds counted down, Ryosuke ceased the duel and closed his eyes, accepting his fate.
As Maho's Myogi was about to enter the rift, Ryosuke's was consumed by a warp core breach, destroying several of the Iconian vessels that had surrounded it, and heavily damaging the rest. Too heavily for the Herald ships to attempt to mount a worthwhile pursuit of the other Myogi in time.
"...Let's hope their sacrifice was not in vain." Maho remarked somberly as the Myogi entered the rift. "Target the edges of the rift. Fire photon torpedoes!"
"Firing!" Kurumi called back hitting the launch button.
The three torpedoes erupted from the aft launchers. Each one met its mark at equal distances around the rifts circumference. Then with a flash, the rift folded on upon itself like a sinkhole sealing itself. It then disappeared as soon as it had appeared, sealing shut and changing the future.
"Rift sealed Captain..." Kurumi reported. "And we're out of torpedoes.. "
