[Bridge - Deck One - USS Chimera NCC 96899-C]
The red lights flashed on the bridge, and the bridge crew hurried about in their endeavors to prepare for battle. Rojac sat in the center chair, Commander Ohmsford to his left and an empty XO seat to his right. The Captain acted as a conductor amidst a symphony of chaos, carefully coordinating the flurry of actions into one purposeful, and powerful, response.
"Reese, more power to shields and weapons. We need to hit them hard and fast to clear a pathway to the planet." Rojac called.
"On it Captain." Jade said starting to multitask the shields were almost done, but she was still working on getting the weapons more power pulling it from anywhere she could. She then also sent a small message to the ODCC to have them monitor the weapons while she monitored the shields.
Rojac nodded in response to the Marine Captain's response. Jade was efficient, he knew that first hand. "Bridge to Captain Xerxes."
Anya hit the accept button on the communications panel to her front left. She had insisted on launching her fighters before the pursuit course was carried out and her counterpart from the Prometheus had done the same. "Xerxes here. How can I help Captain?"

"Captain, we'll need air support once we drop out of warp. The Eagle will be going in for troop drops planet side your task will be to support the EAS Prometheus' fighter wings and to clear the airspace for the Eagle. Is that agreeable?" Rojac said, glancing over to Commander Ohmsford.
"It's agreeable Captain although you should know that the Prometheus only carries a single squadron of M-35A's. After the General Wartime Release they had a squadron of the drone interceptors loaded aboard but those got transferred over to the EAS Hermes to replenish losses after the defense of the Rios System." Anya replied.
"If that's what fate throws at us, it's what we'll have to deal with, Captain. We don't know if Romulan fighter wings and warbirds will be waiting or not, but be prepared. Rojac out."
"One minute left till the fire, Captain." Lieutenant Dior called over her shoulder.
"Bridge to Jardan. Are your teams assembled?"
+Aye sir.+ Jardan replied over the com. +Alpha Team is ready in Transporter Room 1. Beta Team is in Transporter Room 2.+
"Stay hot." Rojac said. "Bridge out." He pointed to Zerphimi, who looked to be trying to get his attention. "What is it, Commander?"
"I'm getting distorted reading around the planet sir. Almost like some device is trying to block our sensors. Large amounts of antiprotons are being detected in the vicinity."
"Let me guess, you get a reading of the planet one minute and the next it's not there?" Bren said as he got up from his chair and moved towards the Science console.
"Yes, sir, how did you...?" Zerphimi started, but Bren interrupted him.
"I've seen this before," the Task Group commander said. "I suspect they're using a device to try and throw off direct scans of the entire planet. It's there on passive scans, but as soon as you take a closer look, it's not there. Problem is it emits massive amounts of antiprotons. I suggest we launch a group of probes emitting regular tachyon bursts. It will at least give us a window to record accurate data on the planet before the probes are destroyed. What do you think, Captain?"
"Do we have time?" Rojac asked, looking unsure.
"Fifteen seconds to drop, sir." Dior answered from the helm station.
"Class II probes are already equipped with tachyon emitters, Captain." Zerphimi, reported. "We can launch them as soon as we drop out of warp."
"Lock and load." Rojac said, swiveling his chair to face the viewscreen and the eminent battle awaiting them.
"Three... two... one!" Dior counted down the seconds to drop.
Waiting for them, with their type three disruptor arrays glowing with vengeance, were three Breen warships.
