Mission: Mission 64: Mortal's Chiefest Enemy
Location: AQ-2834-474-Ab also known as Dylans World
Timeline: 2100Hrs - February 14th, 2392

On the Starbase, the Operations center was trashed rather good as Munroe pulled himself out from where he had been lying only moments earlier. "Uhh.. report!?" he called.

There was no answer as he sighed, before looking around, everyone else present was dead, either killed in explosions or things simply falling apart. "Computer.. activate auto destruct sequence..." he intoned softly.

The computer beeped once. "Designate resources."

"All remaining weapons, power reserves and energy aboard facility."

"Designate time remaining?"

"Ten minutes from mark. Mark!"

The siren suddenly sounded once. "Auto-destruct will detonate in ten minutes.." as Munroe sat back in his chair as he watched out the viewport as a Klingon vessel suddenly exploded from a weapons strike thanks to a warhead launched off of the base.

Already the local space was crowded with debris from destroyed ships, both Federation and Klingon as on the nearby Klingon command ship. "What do we have left to fight with.."

"Only ourselves and two birds of prey... The Federation ship is moving off.." the response came in from the science officer.

"Very well. We finish this fight.. all rush the battlestation and kill it.. there is nothing left here other then salving what little of honor remains to us..."

Back on the battlestation, Munroe noticed that no escape pods were launching even after he had given the order to abandon the station, he watched as three Klingon warships decloaked and rushed what was left of the battlestation.

The three Klingon ships began taking phaser and torpedo fire from the battlestation as one of them finally exploded, except most of the debris simply continued along its original course and fell into the planet's atmosphere where it started to burn up.

The second and third ships were more successful, as each rammed the base, both of which exploded on impact and then the base itself exploded just moments later, producing a massive expanding gas cloud that would have lit up the world below had anyone been planetside to see the events.

Meanwhile on the Dreamcrusher. Commander Daniel McKnight sighed softly, his crew was tired but he was stuck asking yet more of them, he knew he would be recommending many of them for medals and commendations as a result of the actions they had just fought and the battle to come.

"Commander, what reason does the Dreamcrusher have to remain at Dylan's World?" McKnight inquired of Celeste Yamaguchi who was now entering her thirteenth hour of work

They all had been doing a lot of extra work today, they all knew it as there were now two shifts working with Dreamcrusher's crews and not just one so the alpha watch personnel could go get something to eat and in some cases sleep though most were going to assist with settling the refugees.

Commander Yamaguchi turned back to McKnight. "The armory has been emptied, the refugees have been evacuated and the Klingons have failed to gain anything resembling a worthy objective, our work here is completed and there is no reason for us to remain."

McKnight nodded. "Good.. Check with all departments, please... Let's make sure we can get underway."

Celeste nodded her head. "Yessir." and with that, the pregnant woman turned to the console on her right so she could carry out exactly that task. Celeste turned and nodded to McKnight. "Engineering reports they're good sir."

"Alright.. Helm... set a course back to the B Kayor system... Also advise Admiral Yamaguchi that our mission was a sucess..."

Oriana nodded her head. "Ready sir."

"Set speed at warp nine point six helm and engage when ready." and with that the Dreamcrusher broke orbit before the massive Federations hip flew into high warm, leaving Dylan's world to recede back into the shadows of space.
