RP: SNV Gam'trosha [Chapter 1.2] The Training Run

After sometime between typing away at the keyboard and holding on to maintain his composure as Def'leor put the Gam'trosha through her paces trying to avoid incoming fire, the walls of the canyon and the boarding shuttles; Levi was finally able to write the patch to bring the science arrays online as makeshift targeting sensors.

"I've got it...solutions should be coming up...now" he said as he began work on getting the Gam's countermeasures up and running

"Countermeasures should be active momentarily" he also replied with a little stress peeking out of normally unfazed self.

Bridge

"Good," Sa'kira smiled and turned toward their resident agent. "In that case, break into the other ships targetting systems, foul them up but if you can establish a secure line into systems so that we can piggyback and use it to improve upon our own shots."

"Also, tap into the weapons control systems, by doing so you may be able to give us a few seconds headstart before they fire for A'Fuereb Def'leor time to dodge the shot."

Shuttle Bay

"Here they come!" shouted one of the two instructors as they got themselves ready for the firefight.

Shuttle 1

"Heading in," announced the pilot as he looked toward the bay.

In the back, the squad leader smiled and turned toward his men. "Get ready men, once inside, move slowly and clear the bay of any possible hostiles."

Main Computer

Keri's lightly furred fingers swept over the keyboard now before him, typing in his personal access code in the hopes that it would remove the lock-out on the main computer.

Whilst he waited for the system to process the command, the young kit glanced around the chamber on the off-chance there was an obvious physical faults in the data-lines running from the core.

With a nod Zur'el started to work alerts for bridge, to notify when and where a shot would be. Once he was pleased with the alerts, he started on focusing on why the shuttle bay doors opened. after a few moments he found the orders in the mainframe. They didn't come from his ship. he quickly started to back track the signal, lucky it back tracked to the one of the other ships. now he had a link to them, first thing he did was to scramble the key codes, causing any thing transmitted from that ship to be screwed up and useless. It was a very short term solution.

"Ma'am I have a link to the second ship out there, still nothing from the third, the second ship was the one to hack and oped our shuttle bay doors. Permission to hijack their weapon systems and attack the lead ship?"

Shuttle Bay

There was a loud 'clang' as the two shuttles flew into the bay and spun eighty degrees to present their side doors. One shuttle had the door aimed right toward the shuttle bay entrance to the ship, while the other had it aimed toward the bays exit out into the sky.

Onboard, the two squad leaders barked orders to their squads and the doors opened up. "Move move move!" shouted the squad leader in the first shuttle as he peered around the edge and saw no one there. "Spread out, secure the bay and make sure there are no hidden surprises."

Main Computer


As the kit looked around, he would notice that the room looked 'very' clean, it was quite sterile. The datalines that he could see through an reinforced armored window appeared to be intact, although the window itself 'was' ajar.

There was an odd whisling sound though coming from somewhere in the room.


Bridge

"Mmmm... the second was the one who hacked us? Interesting, and here I thought this would be a one on one," Sa'kira smiled and rested her chin in the palm of her hand. "Keep an eye on the second ship then, perhaps we can lure the first one toward it and then you can trigger their weapons to fire..."

"A'Fuereb, take us up and utilize the link the C'Baruce established to get a lock on the ship and fire while also avoiding their own."

Bridge

Hacked by our own people. We need to take steps to prevent that in the future. We need to have a protocol that shuts down all external access to the computer in tactical situations. Def'leor thought.

She started moving the ship, and fed the sensor data that the other had got for them by counter-hacking. With the Gam'trosha swinging she accelerated and brought the forward weapons online.

"Targeting their engines." She called out. "If they can't move they can't fight. But it will leave their sensors and weapons at our control.

"Later? Explain later... you just... ahh forget it." Zes'kas's anger, as usual, was fading fast, he couldn't keep up a temper, wasn't in his nature to do so. "... yeah... focus..." He relaxed and checked his equipment, making sure everything was in place. Finding everything in place, he sat quietly and meditated to himself, restoring his calm.

Upon the shuttle doors opening, Zes'kas waited for all the "real" combat personnel to exit first, following behind them, he scanned along the upper catwalks. They gave a superior position for the defenders, in terms of firing down upon his squadmates. He had his bow ready, never hurt to be ready.

Shuttle Bay

Tite'yanus waited until he could see the first of the opposing forces in view and then opened fire. As he pumped training rounds from his anti-infantry turret he called out. "Contact!"

Shuttle Bay

The first sound of weapons fire caused several of the intruders to dive for cover, although one wasn't fast enough and took a stun blast to the chest, knocking the soldier off their feet and into the shuttle where they were knocked out cold.

"Take cover!" shouted the squad leader as he looked over at Zes'kas and Amauri. "Return fire you two!" he shouted, although his voice was somewhat drowned out by those in the squad who had returned fire of their own.

Bridge

There was something odd about the logs, and a volumetric window had appeared in front of Zur'el to reflect this oddity. Several lines were high-lighted in red, the rest remained in gray, these lines showed hacking attempts from multiple different points and entry through different avenues; including the ships sensor and weapon's targetting systems.

However, one most noticable would've been a log entry that showed an attempt at hacking 'before' the trial even started.

Bridge

when the display popped up Zur'el almost closed it with out looking it completely over. He knew that there was inbound hacking, of coarse he just found that out with the shuttlebay doors. For some reason his eye drifted to the time marks on the report. The mark that was before the trial. "What the hell." He muttered to himself. Within a few minutes he had a bug looking for where the first hack came from. once it was searching, Zur'el started working on fixing the hacked problems in the main frame of the Gam'. The biggest concern was to fix the weapon systems seconded buy fixing the sensors.

Shuttle Bay
Sher'Van rolled into cover just in time to avoid getting tagged by the turret. He looked over at the squad leader, "So what now sir?" He popped up to fire a few shots off. He didn't expect to hit anybody as suppressed as they were, but he hoped that it at least made somebody duck.

He could feel his heart pounding with excitement and he took a few deep breaths to steady himself. He tried to examine the situation around him and look for better positions or any flanking elements. The enemy had a clear superior position here and unless somebody did something clever, this was going to be a real short exercise for the infantry. He flinched as another shot flew past him.

Shuttle Bay

Qu hunkered down next to her comrades, but said nothing. All she could do is await instruction. This was after all just a training mission.

Bridge

Def'leor took a moment extra to verify her targeting since she was using another vessel as their tactical eyes. "I have a targeting solution ma'am, firing weapons at their engines." she called out, mentally crossing her fingers that the weapons would score a hit.

"Return fire! Sir, please hit their flank from the walway! Five seconds to lights on," Shar said over the comms to her team. Then she opened her link to the bridge. "Bridge this is Shar'ica. I need Shuttle bay lights at maximum intensity on my mark. 5,4,3,2,1 MARK!" She shouter and got ready to fight.

There will be some time before the goggles will correct themselves and then Shar had to shoot as many as she could. That said enemy could be equipped with Light-goggles as well. Shar took into the count and hope that others did too. That said, it was still all hanging on the fact that Bridge could just leave her hanging....

Main Computer Core

Keri's attention shifted toward the transparent armor plate that he had noticed was slightly askew. His tufted, silver-furred ears twitched as he finally heard the faintest of whistling noises coming from an undetermined location. His gaze shifted again, back and forth, listening intently for the slightest change in the unfamiliar sound before stepping away from the computer cores access terminal and kneeling down next to the ajar protective plate for one of the computer's data-lines.

The young kit peered closer, examining the armor plate and inspecting the area beyond its transparent surface with analytical blue-green eyes. His ears remained propped up, his mind shifting focus back and forth between examination of the armor plate and listening for the source of the offending noise.

Zes'kas wasted no time firing a trio of energy arrows at the foes on the walkway in front of them. After, he would seek cover, and wasn't surprised to find precious little of it. Just two shuttles... this is stacked pretty high against us.

Zes'kas bolted for the shuttle on the left side of the bay, firing shots as he did so. Hope Rosec'a has the same idea, the medic's got to keep safe.

Sher'Van watched as Zes'kas got up and began to double time it to the shuttle on the left. He already knew what he would do, and he already knew he would likely catch an earful for it later, but if he stayed here, he was going to get caught by the inevitable flanking element.

So, without waiting or even asking his squad leader for permission, he fired a burst of fire at the enemy position and got up from his place of cover and ran after Zes'kas.

The two shuttles were cover.

Two shuttles, two squads, a beachhead. If they could hold out, well, it might be meaningful if there were reinforcements coming - but as it happened, it was unlikely they had the numbers to take a ship of this size. Training, Rosec'a reminded herself. Only training.

It was with that in mind - as well as her notoriously abysmal accuracy - that Rosec'a justified what she did next, dashing after Zes'kas, rifle blazing away with a fury. She had little intention of hitting anyone. Do no harm and all that, although she maintained that stunning probably wouldn't do harm...

...of course it does. What kind of medic are you?

Quiet!

I mean really. Just. Awful.

Awful and alive is better than saintly and dead!

She dove for cover a half-step behind Zeskas, firing off another burst of shots. Covering fire, certainly, didn't count as harm - an enemy is less accurate when being shot at. That was just science.

"So you know," she called out loudly above the din of fire and conflict, "I wasn't calling you crazy."

Is this really the time?

YES.

Smooth, as ever.

Shuttle Bay

The instructor ducked down behind the walkway shield to avoid being hit by the stun blasts from the intruders. He waited a few moments, before he fired over cover toward Zes'kas and Sher'Van.

The other instructor kept quietly around some of hte shuttles support columns, her anti-personnel turret moving from side to side, scanning for targets. The girl waited and listened, she could hear the movement of feet and decided to wait until the best chance to fire.

Bridge

Sa'kira's ear perked up at she heard the marines as she looked at her crew. "Disengage safety protocals and illuminate the shuttle bay, now!" she shouted.

Computer Room

As the young kit stuck his head into the panel, he could hear the faint sound of the crackling of thunder combined with the smell of rain. The noise of wind could also still be heard only much heavier now.

Outside

The ships turrets spun about, pin-point lasers coming online as the lasers locked onto the Light of Shadows engines with their targetting augmented by the link to the ship itself.

Thin beams of energy began to fire out, slashing across the Shadow's shields before several shoots passed through and hit the engine.

The Gam'trosha's computer registered several successful simulated hits.

Once the order was Given Zu'rel quickly released the safeties and brought the lights up in the shuttlebay. The light down there increased until there were few shadows, it was brighter in there then any sun could light.

Zu'rel received a notelet from his computer station, the enemy's main ship's engines were damaged, "Ma'am reports of their engines being damage, I'm going to cause a cascade effect that will look like the damage done cause it, their engine should go down completely." He turned back to his terminal and started the command sequence that would cause the cascade.
