Location: Various Locations - USS Infinity
Timeline: 0900Hrs - October 2nd, 2393

The USS Infinity slowly moved with the power of her thrusters, as she was on minimum power mode otherwise known as grey mode, her crew were all at Battlestations and had been for the last several hours. Those who were off duty were carefully paying attention to those who were and many who could were eating a meal or catching some sleep. But on the bridge, it was business as usual for the senior staff who were all at their posts and the Captain, who was seated in her command chair.

T'Shaamet turned her head as she regarded Commander Ethan Duval, she knew he was not Sarah Horner but if the command of the Gaarni was something he ever tired of, he would make an excellent asset to her crew, as she nodded at him, he nodded back in silence. "Meslina?" T'Shaamet asked the slender Trill female in a quiet tone of voice. "Time?"

Lt Commander Meslina Amakawa tapped the display. "Five minutes until the storm front hits Captain" the Trill woman answered evenly. "and... mark." the added a moment later.

T'Shaamet ran her finger over her jawline, while she uncrossed and then recrossed her legs. "Everything is proceeding exactly as planned.." she commented aloud. "Which means its too easy." as she paused, she gently tapped her combadge as she softly smiled. "T'Shaamet to Yamaguchi. What's your status?" she asked of the marine who was assisting Colonel McTaggert for this assignment, she was still unsure of how she felt about the new girl but she had the skillset, plus she was good at what she did. Her family name was not a part of this equation.

In the USS Infinity's main hanger bay, Ouros Yamaguchi could be found, she was wearing the local female uniform, it was almost identical to the regular uniform except for the shoulder boards and the bare midriff. She tapped her combadge. "The Marines and I are loading now sir, we'll be ready for the drop in two minutes," she explained as she picked up a SAW rifle, otherwise known as a squad automatic weapon, she could spit out over a thousand phaser bolts in a minute and deal a lot of damage on a lot of targets downrange when needed.

"Copy Captain, bring everyone home alive and well please." T'Shaamet's voice came back, it was not an unreasonable request but Ouros know that not everyone was guaranteed to come home, especially when the other side escalated things to include lethal force, however, she opted to not say her thoughts. "I will endeavor to do just that skipper," Ouros answered in a flat and neutral tone of voice. "How long before the storm front hits?" Yamaguchi inquired.

"It's one minute out, get ready." came the answer from the Operations officer, a Trill female if Ouros recalled correctly as she boarded the runabout.

"Copy that, Yamaguchi out." Yamaguchi then tapped her combadge as she turned her head. "Pilot lets get ready!" Ouros shouted. "Storm front will be here any second."

Meanwhile. In one of the Infinity's six transporter rooms that had been detailed for this operation was Commander Victoria Yamaguchi, she was leading the main strike force of over three dozen marines, Victoria had her rifle up and pointed outwards as she mentally counted down from ten. "Bridge to strike force. Energize now!" she called.

Victoria smiled as she watched the transporter effect do its usual work, the beam removed the transporter room while another room appeared before her, as she spotted an imperial officer directly before her so she shot him once with her rifle on stun. "Go go go!" she called as Enyo began moving forward, her marines supporting her as they stunned everyone in range. Enyo smiled as the door opened before her as three of her marines nodded. "Leicester" she gave the first part of the challenge call to prevent friendly fire. "Square" came the answer.

"Nice," Enyo answered as she moved forward. "This way." as she pointed to a large wall of consoles nearby. "Secure those please..." as she charged over to them before Enyo began tapping away at the displays. A moment later, various alarms began screaming. "Now we wait... anyone comes in here, shoot them..." as the door opened and in came her remaining marines. "Keep those phasers on stun guys, theirs won't be."

Meanwhile, in the flag lounge, April Yamaguchi smiled. "So, it's agreed then?" she inquired as she finished the drink she had been sipping on. "If you support me in my quest. I ill see to it that you get the Admirals rank then?" she was saying to Captain Tony Raynor, he nodded eagerly. "Sure... But you know what else I want..." he regarded her with a luscious grin.

Yamaguchi knew what he wanted, she would have to submit to his grotesque needs again. "Sure., I can do that... The night before the event in question?" she inquired with a smile. A night of bad sex was not too high of a price to pay if it meant he would assist her with her plans. "I've already called-" was as far as he got before the alarms started to scream. "What the!?" he called loudly. "We must get to Ops right now!" he turned as he gently grasped her hand with his own before he all but pulled her out the door after him.

Enyo did a quick headcount. "Everyone is here," she said evenly before she nodded. "We make for the science wing, we got business there," she added. "Second platoon, make for the yard, go steal a ride outta here for us..." she commented before she led the charge out the door and into a Starbase in chaos.
