This thread will be for the battle prep as the Lady A and her old Avengers battle force ships heads out to meet the main body of the hostile force in the coming battle. Any creative ideas or pre battle set ups can be rp'd out here in this thread. Anything requiring a roll we will handle with forum PM's!
Enjoy!

Tia led the team members of Delta's Team One into Transporter Room Number Two and whirled to each. "All right...get ready....find a spot and hunker down...we still got an hour."
She walked passed each of them quickly reviewing their weapons and gear as she continued. "We are QRT with a bridge priority, you have all faced these bastards before...we know how they fight and we know they are committed."
"This is our home...and no one comes into our home and pushes us around...you give them not one inch...they pay for every moment they touch our decks..." She keeps each of their intent gazes with her own one of deep commitment and dedication. "Punish them, gut them, burn them...let every one of those monsters know we will not yield to fear....we do not cower to terror...we grow stronger and fight harder...together!"
"Together!" The team calls out in one voice.
She punches Sleestak in the chest nodding to him as he does the same in return.
"Damn right...we make them remember this night for the rest of their miserable lives...we make sure they remember the night they faced the ADAGIO! STRENGTH AND HONOR!"
"STRENGTH AND HONOR!" Came their joined cry in return.
Tia nodded and indicated they should sit tight for now ... "Stay loose and be ready...."
She leans back against the wall and allowed herself to feel the power of the larger ship as she thundered head long into battle. She allowed her commitment and determination to flow into her utter faith in those above on the bridge conducting this battle. The enemy thought to charge back down on them after their victory on the Xert outpost. Tia smirked a reasonable tactic if one was a bully...come roght back with a show of force. Do not allow us to enjoy our victory...well...
Her mind went to a song her father used to sing to her and her brother Tony. Long ago when they were both so young, just after losing their mother....his wife. He would sing them to sleep by it, the words being so powerful to them both, drove them through life in their chosen profession....right until the end for dearest Tony. Now so close to yet another battle, she could not help but hear the song once more...this time her Keth would not be alone...the 22nd was all here with them now...her family..her keth...all taking a stand now as one...the lyrics of the song as cyrstal clear as the first tim eher faher had sung it to them...
Each of us enters this world on our own bonded together by forces unknown first we crawl and then stumble then learn how to run one day we find ourselves running for home
Brother to brother father to son mother and daughter together as one Fight all our battles make our amends shoulder to shoulder until the end
We walk through this world one step at a time making our mark towing the line and we'll pass from this world old ageless and young standing in judgement we'll see what we've done
Brother to brother father to son mother and daughter together as one fight all our battles make our amends shoulder to shoulder until the end.
We are here, she thought. ...and we are coming for you, you bastards.
And we are not afraid.

Eren couldn't help but shiver as she watched the distance between that great black swarm and their battle group getting ever smaller. Despite her incredibly valiant efforts, the memory of her last encounter with these creatures couldn't be scrubbed clean by any measure of alcohol currently known to the galaxy. That incredible, behemouth darkness out there was coming for them, ready to overwhelm and tear the ship apart just as they'd done to her body.
She shook her head firmly, closing her eyes and trying to banish the thought from her mind. Focus, jackass, no time for self-pity. You're on the clock. Drawing in a breath, Eren's gaze darted across the screen of her console, seeking inspiration. Okay, okay. Darkness. Light. These species really need something more substantial to base their--- Damn it, I said focus! She reached up to stroke both sides of her chin with her thumb and forefinger. "What if... we increased the brightness of our phasers? They're already fairly bright, but think if we could boost the amount that they give off we could use the species' natural aversion to light to make our phasers more effective with minimal additional power drain."

Sevuk quirks an eyebrow at Sereya's suggestion.
"Intriguing. If such a hypothesis worked we could apply the same practice to handheld phasers as well."

Eren glanced up at the vulcan above her console. "If we did a handheld version we would need protective eye gear to go along with it, the increased brightness would probably be too much even for most of us at such a close proximity. Think... standing next to a lightning strike." She shot him a grin.

"My inner eyelid would negate such an effect, but you may be correct for other species."

Gwen moved from position to position along the corridor outside of main engineering. She had selected the 'bunkhouse' just outside of it to set up her TOC, knowing this was to be a primary target for their current enemy. She nodded to each security officer and delta operator as she checked their gear and equipment, offering words of encouragement where she needed too.
She moved back to her TOC and knelt beside her own firing position, double checking her weapons and shield emitters. She looked up along the corridor to the crew she had grown to call her family over the last few years. She smiled a little fiercely.
"Come on you creeps..." She said softly. "We are ready for you..."

His eyes remain glued to the sensors while he listens to the two posted opposite of him on the bridge, drawing in a breath he looks over at Sereya first.
"What I could try doing is shortening the wavelengths of our phasers even further, I don't know how our phaser banks would handle the increase in energy but I'm sure some tiny tweaks to the emitters would make it manageable for the coming battle."
He looks over at Sevuk at this point.
"When you were planetside we increased the brightness of everything throughout the entire ship, we were even given special sunglasses not to make us look cool but to prevent us from going blind. I'm almost positive we'll keep up with that procedure here as well."

"How would wearing such sunglass...'make you look cool'?"

Eren looked straight at the vulcan and without missing a beat replied, "Because it's cool in the shades, Mister Sevuk."

"Exactly, and so we shall be when the time comes to wear them," Eren said with a wry smile as she turned her attention back to the console.
"Alright, so shooting lightning bolts at them aside, there has to be something else we can do to give us an edge in the meantime." Her fingers danced across the screen as she brought up what information they'd received on the DEVs. "You know... if we had some sort of large reflective disk, we could seriously light up the battlefield, too."

Ysolde stared at her screens taking in data and listening halfheartedly to the chatter around her. Still the discussion did make her think some, the ship's phasers could have their brightness increased with a coresponding decrease in total energy that went to hitting a sheild. She wasn;t sure they wanted to mess with that calculation, but the idea of making personal phasers brighter well some people on the ship carried more than one phaser and she had some ability in repairing and modifying personal weapons.
So, she looked over and said, "I have some skill in modifying personal weapons. Permission to head down to Delta team and provide some phasers adapted to emit a very bright light along with some sun glasses?" Bonus with her idea was that she could flirt a little bit with Lonah, she'd just met her, but the young blonde moved quick and generally went through girls just as quick maybe this would be different? She shook her head, probably not. She'd be just a flash in the pan to a Klingon who would sooner or later want to have baby warriors.

Skye idly fluttered her wings to the brave music that was being played, paying no thought to that she even was doing it. Her mind occupied on making good sensor preparations with the battle groups multi sensors interfacing and overseeing her hyper fusion illumination reaction probes, For simplicity named 'Candles'. As that was what they did. Like a candle in the night they lit up space like a sun at uncomfortably close distance... Perfect for meanies like those thingys! The little Nyminian felt very happy for her creation, hoping it would help the Keth and the extended keth even more this time with her new improved formulas for extra illumination.
Hearing her friends chatting she looked at them happily, It felt nice to have them here and not some other place like a planet, even if it was totally important for them to go to the planet it was nicer that they where here... oooo! A thought came across her mind and she bit her lower lip and carefully looked around to see if the absolute was still blessing them with her presence, Eventually she asked trough her telepathy on the same bands they had spoken before
"Mistress? Are you here mistress?"

Talia stood as she so often did a step away from her command chair, remaining as a fixed point on her bridge as her ship sailed once more into battle. Her mind functioned on many different levels, going over the battle prep, visualizing the deck by deck deployments of her crew, the allocation of resources, the current power levels and their mandated power priorities. Her eyes also fixed on the elegantly hovering holographic tactical feed studying it as she might a 3d chessboard. Her antennae twitched as they and her ears listened to the banter of her officers and their plans.
While she was not wholly convinced of these 'candles' and the overall effect they might have against the enemy, their very concept at the very least would provide the Adagio, her fighters and their sister ships just one more distraction against the enemy.
Her thoughts were also focused on their allies, the Avynei, possibly even the recently encountered Xert and whether or not they might be needed here. Tactically it would only improve their odds against what was still at this time an unknown enemy. At least in strength they remained unknown...Strategically it would benefit these allies to show up to defend the Citadel, to show those who did not agree with Talia at the meeting progress could and was being made out here.
That we did not stand alone against the nature of the enemy found here.
She blinked out of her thoughts by Ysolde's question. She glanced up at the clock and nodded.
"Contact in 60 minutes Ysolde..." she nodded to her operations officer. "Make haste..the clock is ticking Lieutenant."
Her eyes returned to the map and the enemy that grew closer to them with each passing moment. She was proud of her people, of her ship...of her keth. To step from the fires only to once more face the inferno ... such courage had to be admired. To her each and everyone of them were magnificent, they were her keth...proud and fierce, strong and defiant. They were to her living example of both strength and honor...she set her jaw as she looked intenty to the signals depicting the approaching hostiles.
It is, she thought. Time you learned fear is not a truly effective weapon...we taught you this on the Xert outpost world...
We will gladly teach it to you once more...as often as required. She smirked wolfishly.
Your time is over...it is a new dawn and with any dawn...always comes a new light out of darkness
