Location: Various Locations - Romulan Ship
Timeline: 1030Hrs - July 13th, 2391

Commander Telios Wintersnow regarded Flight Officer Yamaguchi. "Talk to me Goose?"

"We're approaching the location skipper."

"Alright." she responded as she uncrossed her legs before planting her hooves on the deck. "Wintersnow to strike team, we're here guys... everyone gear up.. be ready for the dance.."

Aerin checked his weapon while Varkon loaded and armed his grenade launcher. Seykai meanwhile manned the weapons console and reported, Weapons are charged and ready, no enemy shisp present, but the installation does have a weak shield around it.

Toshnarr meanwhile was on one of the three transporter padds in the transporter room. "We are prepared down here skipper." he nodded to the others gathered.

Aerin reminded everyone, "Remember, if you need fire support, contact Seyaki and he will beam in multiple photon grenades to remove entrenched enemies."

Toshnarr nodded. "Let's do this!"

The ship decloaked and Seykai fired off multiple torpedoes that dropped the installations shields. He then activated the transporters, first beaming in multiple photon grenades to clear out their landing Zone. After the grenades detonated, he beamed the strike team into the landing zone.

The away team moved out into the target area as Toshnarr drew his hammer. "For Sparta!" he roared. "Lets go" and with that the two dozen or so armored beings all began engaging Romulan targets, usually with bloody results

On the bridge, Zara bit her nails. This was the hardest part of her job, listening to combat missions on the ground.

The away team personel moved into the base as Toshnarr butted a Romulan female aside, she lifted her weapon before she felt a wave of heat, she drew back the stump of her left hand in shock. "Uhh.." then she dropped to the deck.

Toshnarr and his guys moved onto the next hallway, the fighting was noisy at times, with grenades going off, one of them landed among a group of Romulans before it reduced them all to dark green blood splatter all over the hallway as the grenade went off.

Kameron Yamaguchi was at his post on the bridge in silence. "Commander... I'm reading a Romulan vessel heading this way... its a Mogai or a Valdore class... I can't tell at this distance. It'll be here in forty-five minutes."

Telios raised an eyebrow. "Lovely." she inhaled. "All Hands to battle-stations, we have company coming... alert the ground teams... we need to step this up, company's coming.."

A group of Romulans came out of a door at the end of the hallway, but varkon let loose with his auto grenade launcher, shutting them down in seconds. Aerin moved up in front of the group. Another Romulan came out of nowhere and shot him, but the energy beam bounced off his personal energy shield. Aerin put the Romulan down before he had a chance to shoot again.

Toshnarr brought his hammer down on a Romulan's skull, smashing it flat with a dark green splat.

Seykai said over the Comm, "I've got a fix on their location, Aerin, I'm sending your AI the location. You guys aren't far from them."

Toshnarr followed Aerin and his guys as they reached their destination. "This the place?"

Aerin nodded, and set a satchel charge on the door, Varkon got in front, and once the charge blew, he rushed in, Aerin followed behind and popped several Romulans in the room.

Toshnarr moved in as he smashed his hammer into the last Romulan in the room, he then slung the hammer over his back as he produced his medical kit as he looked over the three pilots as he narrowed his eyes. "Guys we got three downed prisoners here... not two... this one is Trasker."

Telios's voice came back. "Guys, status?"

Toshnarr tapped his combadge. "Packages obtained, need a minute to prep them for departure," he responded.

"Well step it up a notch, we got company coming, they are about ten minutes out."

"Shit.." Toshnarr muttered. "Okay guys. lets get these people outta here... "

Aerin stood by and said to Seykai, "Hey is that tricobalt bomb almost ready."

Seykai nodded, "Yes its ready, once you guys are clear, ill beam it down."

Both Norsvin Koor and Kukai Moski were dazed as hell and barely recognized their rescuers, though they made no attempt to fight.

Toshnarr lifted one of the pilots as Goranaar picked up the second one while Tirion Fording picked up the third. "Cover us... packages in hand... moving out now!" and with that, the three massive men departed the cell as they withdrew, with various Federation personnel covering their withdrawal.

Soon the personnel involved were all withdrawing up to the Warbird as Telios Wintersnow, sitting in her chair on the bridge looked like she had just woken up from a nap. "Time?"

"Four minutes," Kameron responded. "Warbird is now entering the planet's gravity well." as the widescreen displayed the arrival, it was a Valdore that seriously outgunned the Bird of Prey.

The tactical officer, a handsome human woman raised an eyebrow. "Our personnel are beaming up.... and... that's all of our people out." Lieutenant Hasti smiled. "Mind if I deploy the warhead now?" she sounded eager.

Telios nodded. "Is everyone accounted for?" she inquired.

"Yessir." Hasti responded quietly.

"Very well" Telios responded as Aerin came onto the bridge. "Ahh... hello my pretty.." the female Draenei greeted Aerin with a smile.

Aerin didn't say anything as the ground facility launched a dozen plasma torpedoes at their new Arrival, then shortly exploded due to the tricobalt warhead. Aerin then tapped his combadge, "Jetfire, Leadfoot, your a go."

Leadfoot launched from the hangar bay with Jetfire behind. Leadfoot launched the four heavy quantum's that the ship carried at the incoming Valdore.

"Mine are away," Jetfire commed and stayed close to Leadfoot, in case things got hairy.

Leadfoot and Jetfire both peeled away and quickly landed back on the bird of prey, and Seyaki reported, "We've got everyone, we're ready to go."

"Then get out of there fast," Zara spoke over the comm.

Telios smiled. "Helm... take us out."

Kameron engaged the cloak as the bird of prey vanished and slipped out of the combat area like they were never there, moments later the crippled Valdore exploded.

Aerin walked onto the bridge moments later, and setting his weapon down he commented, "Well that went smoothly, mission accomplished."

"Good job, everyone," Zara cheered. "First rounds on me."
