Captain Log, UHS Protector
The Protector has picked up a strange rift in supspace, 2.4 lightyears from our position. My scicence officer recommened that we investigate, I agreed and the Protector is now en-route to the rift.

A flash of light hearled the Arrival of the Protector back to normal space. On the viewscreen the rift could be clearly seen, what looked almost like a flame in the fabric of space.
"Take us closer Ensign" Ships Captain Tony Naros ordered the Ensign at helm.
"Aye sir" The ensign responded and the Ship moved closer to the rift.
"Report Science?" Tony asked.
"It's definatly a class five subspace rift" Lt Jenny Gates commented "It's sending out strong chronoton immisions"
The discussion was cutshort as the entire ship was rocked.
"Report!" Tony yelled as the ship rocked again.
"Gravimetric sheer!" Gates reported "It's pulling us in"
"Helm, full impulse"
"No effect!"
The Protector was pulled into the rift and everyone aboard blacked out.

<Somewhere in space, twelve hours later>

Tony opened his eyes. The Bridge was in disarray, consoles were on fire, sparks flew and his crew was across the deck. Tony climbed to his feet and moved over to his first officer, Commander Joe Johnson. He shook her. Joe moved as she looked up.
"Captain!" She said as he helped her sit in her chair, across the bridge other officers were waking up.
"Report please" Tony asked.
"Shields off-line, weapons off-line, sensors at 50%, structual intergrity grid slightly damaged" Engineer Nostrum reported.
"Alright, find me the nearest system"
"There's a starsystem 0.8 lightyears away"
"Set a course, what evver warp you can give me"

<StarSystem>

The Protector dropped from warp without it's usual grace. The ship slipped into orbit of the planet.
"Captain, I've got some worrying readings here" Jenny reported.
"Well" Tony asked.
"According to readings, we're over 500 years in the past"
"Damn, find me our location"

OOC: I need someone to be that planet, prefably before FLT travel, as I plan for one of my crew to get captured by your Law Enforcement/Military, giving my ship a dicsion to make...

(OOC: Well Ill do it, pre FTL right? Just reserving a place)

OOC: Yes, but it's not a future version of The Battlehawk that is in MT, it's a completely seperate entitiy, and sure your more than welcome to be the person, just confirm it

(OOC: Good as this aint the futre version of the Wolf Hold, So just to clairify PMT, very Early FT for me?))

TE Space Defence Station 8 [Ground]

"Sir! We got an alert, Orbital observation shows a artifacal entering our system. We have no record of its size on our databases! However peliminary scans show slight structural damage and no form of shielding active!" The command centre of the Terran Empire Space Defence Centre 145 as it was called had fallen silent as soon as the message from orbital observation had come through. The station comandant stood still for a moment this was the first test of the ground based defence stations, 8 of them strung across the planet to defend from asteriods yet this was the 4th time they had been called to defend from foerign objects.
"Get me Terran Central Armed Forces Command!"
"TCAFC On the line!"
"Sir, this is defence station 8 we have a foreign object entering our system, should we a line the rail gun?" The Comandant asked the TCAFC General on the other end of the line.
"Yes, but hold your fire, we could be experiancing a first contact situation, so hold fire! Also be aware Stations 6 and 7 are alininging to assist you" Then the General cut the line leaving the defence station to its devices.

TCAF Central Command
"Get me the President!" The General yelled as soon as he finished talking with the station Comandant.
"President on the line!" Replied the comms engineer
"General, Tell me whats happening! Why have the SDSGs gone to alert?"
"We have detected a foreign object in the system, we are taking the nessecary actions in case we have to defend ourselfs"
"Ok very good General, Keep me informed"

OOC: Late PMT, to the best of my understanding, FT starts as soon as FTL is discovered

The Protector traveled at Impulse towards the inner planets of the system. The situation on the ships bridge was chaotic as repairs were made.
"Captain, Picking up life signs on the planet, bearing 355 by 323" Gates reported.
"Status?" Tony asked
"Pre-warp, but only just"
"Damn, take us into orbit, but try and shield us from their scans as much as possible, I don't want them to be able to scan us" Tony ordered.
The Protector approached the planet.

TCAF Central Command
Overall command had now been transfrerd to the men and women manning the consoles at TCAF Command, the main control room, a large square room with armed guards on the entrances was a hive of activity as men and women ran from console to console, giving and retracting orders.
"Sir, our scans are being blocked, also we have managed to get one of our orbital satalites to get a bearing one the object, it appears to be a ship sir!" The General stood thinking for a while and then started to move with a purpose, striding over to the central command pulpit, he flicked on the radio broadcaster which would give him comms to every desk in the room.
"Gun Control! Have Stations 6,7 and 8 get there anti-matter generators online and tell them to align the guns. Scanner control increase power to the scanners, I want that shielding broken. Also Comms get me a channel to that ship!"

"We're entering orbit now sir!" Helm reported
"Good, put us in highorbit, anything on sensors gates?" Tony asked.
"we got alot of orbital satelites that appear to be pointed at us" Gates commented "So far no indication they've cut through our jamming field, sensors suggest that weapons are being armed"
"Shit, general quarters" Tony ordered.
"We've not got any weapons, shields, back online, at tweleve percent only"
"That'll have to do" Tony commented "What about comms?"
"We can't send or receive communications"
"Damn"

TCAF Central Command
"Sir, no response from the ship!"
"God, damn it! Sensors?"
"No good sir! Still Jammed!"
"All right lets get their attention, Gun Control have Station 7 put a slavo across their bows!"
"Sir! yes Sir! This is TCAF Command to Station 8 come in station 8...."

TE Space Defence Station 8 [Ground]
"Aknowledeged, fire warning shots across the ships bow, got it!" The Stations commandant hit the battle station alarm and the klaxons and red lights began wailing and flashing across the station. Then walking over to a large map on a deiplay screen he began tapping it with his fingers, activiating certain defence satilites of the defece network. "Ok gun control, I want DO-283MD (Defence Orbital 283 Mass Driver) to fire two shots directly across the ships bows"
"Yes Sir! Mass Driver is firing in
5
4
3
2
1
Mass Driver Firing!"

High Orbit
The Defence Orbital had rotated the turrets encased in its hard shell and had aimed its large cannons at the ship, upon recviving the fire order from a high speed data up-link, the cannons recoiled and launched a large composite rod, almost at the speed of light towards the ship.

"They just fired two rounds across our bows!" Jenny commented.
"Damn it" Tony said "Alright, reinforce the forward shields, do we have weapons yet?"
"None"
"Alright, prepare a shuttlecraft, take a marine detachment down to do some recon, take a cloak capable one" Tony ordered "once it's deployed, take us up higher, and route the helm system into tactical, tell it to evade next time we get fired at"

Shuttlcraft Tango, Two Minutes later

The Cloaking Device equipped shuttlecraft had succesfully been deployed and was heading towards the planet.

TCAF Central Command
"Sir they are pulling out of High orbit!"
"Good keep the fire on them! Keep firing untill they are out of range, however just keep it with the one orbital, that should be enough"
"Roger, relaying to Station 8 now!"
The Gun controller spoke over the radio to the comandant at Station 8 and as the mebers of the TCAF Command room watched on the main screen as the mass driver continued to fire at the ship.

The Protectors shields abosorbed the impact as the ship reached high orbit and increased speed as the computer evvaded some of the shots

Shuttlecraft Tango

The shuttle had made it's way planetside. They had been sent to what appeared to be the Command Complex. They parked the shuttle in a secluded area, still cloaked, and began to make their way to a place where they could watch and use their technology to hack into their mainframe.

(OOC: The Command Centre building is shaped like the pentagon, but with concrete perimeter fence and guard towers, however it is sorounded by hills)


TCAF Central Command
"They have retreated Sir! They are out of range, Mass driver has ceased fire"
"Very good! Well done everyone, well done everyone. We taught those bastarsd a lesson, ok its time for a shift change, lets go get some coffe" The TCAF command centre went into the shift change, were the troops and staff switched over so the other half could get some rest, this was the most vunerable time of the day.

Using this switchover, the Teams technical expert, a female named Jessica Brown, was able to get a program into their computer systems. The program, unless discovered would allow observeatory functions and, if needed override access, although that would compromise the program. The plan was for the rest of the team to head to the capital while Jessica stayed at the Facility...

UHS Protector

The Protector remained in the high orbit. Repairs continued, as soon as shields and weapons were restored they would return...

OOC: In case you haven't guess, Jessica is the one you capture

IT Security Centre, TCAF Central Command Building
"Sir I have detected a small flag in the anti-virus software, also there are some descrpeancies in the security code" Called out a young, geeky looking tech
"How big are these flags and descrepcies?" Replied the IT manager
"Barley visible on the screens...sir"
"Then it is proably just a glitch in the new software, file and ignore it son"
"But sir...."
"Is said ignore it! Thats an order!"
"Yes sir" The tech replied as he closed down the status window and went to file a report.

Jessica was wandering through the systems of the Command Centre on her portable console, searching for something.

UHS Protector

The Protectors crew had restored full shields and had phasers at 50% strength, but would more than likely be enough. With that the Protector reentered standard orbit.
"It's wishful thinking to hope they don't shoot at us again, but we need to get closer to keep an eye on the away team" Tony noted

IT Security Centre, TCAF Central Command Building
"Sir! That glitch keeps flaging up, thats the 6th time now! Sir, Somthing is in our system, I'm sure of it!" The same tech that previously had been reprimanded was now even more insistent. So just to shut him up the IT Manager ran a system intrusion check.

Command Centre,TCAF Central Command Building
"Sit that ship is comming at us again!" Yelled the newly apprised Radar tech of the Command room.
"God damn it! Get Mass Driver 4 and 8 firing at them, kick them to full speed, Also task stations 8, 7 ,6 and 5s satalites to the area!"
"Yes sir"

In Orbit

The two large satellites oreintated towards the incomming ship and began to throw out there large metal shells at the ship.

In Orbit

The Now Operational shields of the Protector could now eaisly defend the ship from the incoming fire.
"Lets show them what tehir up against" Tony ordered "Fire a lower power disableing phaser at one of those satellites"
A Low powered phaser beam fired from the dorsal surface of the Protector, the beam would knock the sattelite out of action, but wouldn't destroy it

On Planet

Jessica swore as she noticed she had been clocked

Another Part of the Planet

The Rest of the team had made their way to the capitol city and had parked the cloaked shuttle, again in a secluded place. They set out towards the city.

Bump

Jessica began to close her link to the system
