Mission: Trade Troubles
Previously, on Star Trek Myogi:
Seiji smirked at the challenge.
"Bring it!" He said. "I'd love to see how your crew reacts when you order them to almost certain death."
Seiji severed the communication and tapped his combadge:
"Attention all crew; this is the captain!" He spoke: "We are about to receive hostile boarding parties. You know what to do; and you are authorized to use any and all force to contain them. I repeat, lethal force is authorized!"
And now, the continuation:
Transporter Room 2, Deck 6, USS Myogi:
Tristana arrived in Transporter Room 2 a few minutes behind Commander Misono. Tristana considered Transporter Room 2 to be her "lucky transporter room," as away missions she led out of that transporter room generally had a high success rate. In a rare move for Tristana, she buttoned her uniform up all the way, understanding the importance of protection when beaming into a hostile area.
When she arrived, Tristana was surprised to see Lieutenant Johnston among the crew gathered in the transporter room.
"You're going in, too, Terry?" Tristana asked.
"Yeah, I'm on the team tasked with securing Engineering." Terry responded. "Been reading up on the layout of a nebula class' engineering. I just hope your guys can get me there in one piece."
Tristana smirked mischievously.
"Come on; I'm the Chief of Security;" She said. "The guys under me are the best in the business!"
Tristana turned to Commander Misono.
"Is the Medical entourage I requested here yet?" She asked.
"They'll be with us in just a moment, Lieutenant," Ichika affirmed as she primed her phaser rifle in preparation for what was likely to be a very messy situation.
Alisha stepped into the transporter room and sidled off to the side, keeping to herself. On her collar was an insignia that was foreign to the Myogi, one that indicated her affiliation to the Nikko. She raised her hands slightly, "I'm not even here right now. I'm just going over with the group, then I'm on my own." She didn't want to state her own mission unless she was forced to.
A security officer standing next to her chuckled at the remark.
Contrary to popular belief, Leilani did not always wear a warm, flirty smile or always look like a glowing example of Risian health and beauty. One exception was when she went on mission and understood well the scope of her duties on it - and today was one such day. Sure, she still smiled, and her eyes glowed with excitement for life as usual - but elsewise she was poised and focused as she arrived in the transporter room with her medical entourage and joined the others already there.
Vivienne was strapping on the rest of her kit, when she shook out her short white hair, which left her ears uncovered. Her markings were brilliant against her pale skin and she was checking the medkit she carried without any thought to the others gathered around her. Her blue eyes took in each and every one of them, so she would know who was 'hers' when she came across the injured. It was a fools bargain to assume none would be injured.
With everyone now gathered, Ichika turned her attention to the gathered officers.
"Alright, everyone, listen up!" She announced, pulling out a PADD with the Nikko's schematics on them. "Right now, Ops has a lock on one of the Nikko's transporter rooms, located on deck 6; No doubt the Nikko's crew will be anticipating this and will be prepared to ambush us the moment we materialize on their transporter pad. Given that we'll likely be dropped straight into the line of fire, I'd recommend that any medical staff who isn't proficient with a phaser to remain here until we've cleared out their transporter room. Once we have the transporter room secured, we'll beam you over to set up a makeshift triage in the transporter room and stabilize our wounded for emergency beam out. After that, we'll launch a three-pronged assault to gain control of the main facilities; I'll be leading a team to capture their armory on Deck 11 and their marine armory on deck 15, while Lieutenant Tristana will be leading a team to capture the main computer core, spanning decks 10-12. At the same time this is going on, Lieutenant Johnston will lead a team to capture main engineering. We take those three areas, we practically neuter the crew's ability to use their ship against us. However, should Commander Iwaki still refuse to surrender, Lieutenant Tristana and I will storm the bridge to apprehend him ourselves. We'll make 10 men feel like 100; does anyone have any questions, or are we clear to beam down?"
Alisha shook her head from the corner. She'd already decided that she'd go in with the second group of medics, not that she wasn't proficient with a phaser, but her own part of the mission depended on stealth, not brute force, and that stealth involved not being noticed by the crew of the Nikko as a foreigner, but one of them. Getting shot was definitely not a part of her plan.
"Alright, providing there are no further objections; let's have the first team step onto the transporter pad." Tristana ordered.
Ichika nodded and proceeded to step onto the pad, motioning for Tristana, Kozakura, and Terry to follow suit.
Kozakura made a show of checking her weapon once again and taking her place at the nominal 'front' of the group and going to one knee, bringing the rifle up in a position that would be ready to fire as soon as they rematerialized. She was a small target, at least, time to put that to good use.
Once everyone had taken their places, she turned her attention to the NCO operating the transport controls.
"First away team, ready to beam out," she announced, nodding her head approvingly.
Of course, rather than do things the easy way, the NCO grinned and struck a dramatic pose.
"Fly forth, my demon spawn!" she monologued as she pulled down the lever activating the transporter. "Wreak havoc upon the Nikko and her crew!"
"Oh, Jesus Christ..." Ichika could be heard sighing as the first group disappeared in a flash of bright light.
