Episode I: Infinite Peril

[Lt Matina Jade]

Red flashes of light plused around her as she pulled herself up unharmed but for the scratch on her forhead. She groaned and then cried out as sparks flew from her nearbye station, she moved avoding them. She then saw her senoir officer, the head of security lain on the deck. She checked him, dead. Dam! Leaning up she moved into the weapons consol, or what was left of it.

[Commander Vorak]

Vorak was sat at his science consol before hearing her cry and awoke.
His consol was flickering but still active. He got up and walked over to the Captain and helped him into the Con.
"Captain are you injured?" he asked.

[Athrun Zala]

Athrun was help a engineer do so work before the console exploded and the engineer was killed. He look Chief Helmsman, she was hit with Shrapnal, he then looked at the helm console, or what was left of it. He took it wheel of the ship. "Commander, Captain, They destoryed our warp engines, Impluse engines are down to 60%." Athrun said

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

Bodies lay strewn across the bridge. Fires slowly crackled in the momentary tranquility... Captain Kynes took Vorak's hand, and stood up. Suddenly, he noticed a stinging pain was flooding his head. He reached up and touched his forehead; a large cut.

"Damage Report!" cried the Captain, dazed by the explosions.

The voice of the operations officer answered back.

"We've lost Contact with anything below D deck! Life support is critical on all decks..."

Kynes stared into the flickering screen, watching the flock of Klingon ships dot around in the distance. He never knew this would be the reality of his first mission. It was hard to remember life before Endeavour... before answering the Federation distress call... Before the Endeavour was attacked by a fleet of renegade Klingons.

For a few seconds, Arthur observed the realities of the crisis. They were outnumbered, heavily damaged, and void of allies. The USS Tristar lay in ruins, no doubt their crew had perished in the firefight.

Kynes rushed over to the scanner, and examined the USS Endeavour's surroundings. Several asteroids speckled the barren space, and a large Nebula resided quite close to their location.

"Lt. Zala, set us on a course to the Nebula," instructed Captain Kynes, standing tall, as the vessel's engine began to moan it's symphony of motion.

"It's not over yet," Alexander whispered to himself.

[Commander Vorak]

"Please please sit, I will take over" said Vorak taking his station from the Captain, "A good idea thow Captain, we can still make it inside and have time administer repairs. Klingon's sensors are not of high caliber, they prefer to polish their weapons instead. Recommend me proceed Captain. Operations officer, head down to the engine room and take over there, the chief engineer is dead if reports were correct. I will transfer Operations to my console."

[Lt Matina Jade]

She tapped over the small consol and reported.
"Phaser are burnt out" she reported "5 torpedos remaing in port launcher."

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

"Lieutenant Jade, keep your finger on the trigger. We'll have to make a run for it. Commander Vorak, initiate a subspace waveband, to cloak our position from the Klingon scanners. We'll have to make a run for it. Increase speed to full Impulse."

[Commander Vorak]

"Understood" he said and followed and admitted the band.
The Ship moved forward but soon his console began to flicker and bleep.
"Captain, a battlecruiser has detected us and is moving forward. I may not be long before they alert the rest of the fleet. Lt Jade I suggest you ready that trigger."

[Lt Matina Jade]

"Torpedos loaded and ready Captain, target moving within firing range" she reported her hand on the 'trigger'.

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

"Target their Engines systems and fire," ordered the Captain. Things would be easier if they didn't have a Klingon battlecruiser tracking their itenerary.

These Renegade Klingons were not to be underestimated.

The torpedoes rocked the battlecruiser, and the Klingon vessel came to a halt soon after the projectiles had impacted the engine nacelles.

"Good work, Mrs. Jade," said Alexander with an expression mixed with relief and pain. Many of those who had died in the battle had been new transfers, as it was a new assingment, but he had gotten to know many of them as good friends. Now, nearly 3 quarters of his crew lay lifeless somewhere onboard the ship.

It was shortly after when the Endeavour slipped into the Nebula. It was uncertain whether the Renegades had detected their new coordinates.

The USS Endeavour flew deeper and deeper into the Nebula...

[Commander Vorak]

"I recomend full stop for repairs Captain, I will be the engine room and will return with a full damage report" he said heading for the turbolift.

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

Kynes nodded as Vorak headed out on the operational turbolift.
"ETA for the Nebula's center?" Captain Kynes asked.
"4 minutes," came the reply.
The captain nodded.
"We'll wait until we reach the center, then shut down all non-essential systems except sensors for repairs."

A moment passed, then Kynes opened his communicator.
"Commander Vorak? What is the situation in Engineering?" he toned through the speaker.

[Commander Vorak]

The Commander stood in the engine room, to say it was a mess would be an understatement. Panels and wires hung everywhere, the core was dark and the main consol destroyed.
"The Chief Engineer is dead as are 42% of the staff, the warp core is destroyed, impluse generators are need repairs and main power has failed. Backup systems are failing."

[Lt Matina Jade]

"That good huh" she said dryly.

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

A moment passed, and the Endeavour finally reached the heart of the Nebula. An external view of the Constitution class refit would paint a picture of dismay. The main saucer section of the vessel was tattered, and a few parts of the hull had fallen off in the firefight with the Klingons.
"Is Communications still operational?" Kynes asked the Com Officer.
"Negative sir, but it is repairable," came the reply.
Flipping open his communicator, he phoned the Executive Officer, now the temporary engineer of the wounded starship.
"Commander, make Communications your primary priority. With our warp down, we won't be able to escape them. We need to send a distress call. Captain Kynes out."

Alexander Kynes walked around the bridge, thinking.
"At the first sight of a Klingon vessel, power down the ship, to dissipate the remnants of our Energy Signature. Should they detect us still, power up and take evasive action."
