Pilot Episode 1: the stoleway

[Drake Keil]

"permission granted we'll be standing by to recieve you and we'll have a medical team ready to assist you"

[Fleet Admiral Kal Dutton]

"Thank you Admiral."

The screen then went black and dutton turned to the pale faced crew staring at him.
"Computer: Recognise Dutton Captain Kal T."
"~Regonised~"
"Activate seld destruct sequence authorision code 1a1a"

[Maria Munro]

Jade face had gone from fear to distain in the last few moments as she listened to the code being entered, she then turned toward Hansel who was next to give the destruction code.

Vretarn supervised the beaming over of his Patients to the Defiant, knowing he'd be among the last in the ship to depart the doomed Pheonix.

But he knew, that in Legend, the Terran Pheonix would rise anew from the ashes of it's old, broken body, and rise into the skies once again.

He knew that his story with the Pheonix would not end with the self-destruction of the Constitution class vessel he had been on for not over a month.

=^= This is Lt. Ch'Zhar, Ready to Beam up,=^= he said into his communicator, after looking around the sickbay.

Moments later, the codes would be given to destroy the USS Pheonix.

Hans looked at Kal. "Computer, this is Commander Hansel Seiben, First Officer. Destruct sequence 2, code one, one-A, two-B." He said looking at Jade.

[Maria Munro]

With Macgver down in the engine room keeping the alien from finding this out it was up to Kalista to enter the next code.
"Computer recognise Kalastia Jade Science officer. Destruct Sequence Three, Code 1B2B3."

[Fleet Admiral Kal Dutton]

"Computer: destruct sequence 00 destruct 0" said Karl and sat back in his chair.
"Auto destruct is activated!"said the computer.
"Right time to get out of here. You lot transport to the Defiant I'll be along shortly."
With that he was alone on the bridge of his first command, he had wanted to prove this old ship still had spirit in her and in saving earth from this threat, in a way he had. He walked around it before reaching his chair and gripping it.
"May you rise from the ashes Phoenix. Rest in peace."
=^= Energize=^= he said into his combadge and with that the last man left the ship and In his head he heard the worlds.

~You shall see my kind again captain, You have not defeated us~

Dutton Materialized on the Bridge of the Defiant and watched the Romulan warbird remains floating in space. The viewer then turned to his own vessel.
At first only the bridge was in flames, then the entire saucer. Finally the ship exploded leaving dust in its remains.

[deepspace8472]

Ch'Zhar watched from the bridge of the Defiant as the Pheonix exploded into a million shards of metal. There was a vessel that had bathed in the waters of History, now destroyed. An testament to the exploratory efforts of the 2200's, now vanished into space, now dissipated into several hunks of metal. Vret could see the rooms inside, something of a cutaway view of the starship.

"Well," Vret said.

"There goes our ship," he toned, looking at the debris with a glint of sadness in his eye.

He turned around and crouched down on the floor. It was a bit hard to handle. Despite the fact that he had only been on board the ship for about a month, he had made an emotional connection with both the ship and her crew.

Was that connection gone?

Not in the Slightest.

[hawk]

The great ship is wrecked by an explosion, then another, and another in a chain of designed destruction. The skin of the circular section ruptures, cracks open like an arid desert. the star drive section bursts and trembles... Hans watched in saddness as the Pheonix gracefully exploded leaving her dust in its remains My first ship as first officer..... gone! He thought

[Fleet Admiral Kal Dutton]

*A day later*

The crew had returned to Starbase Arizona to a hero's welcome and had spent the time for r&r and now were eager to see their new ship.
They were taken down by the fleet admiral to be shown it...
It was a state of the art Excalibur class, its hull looking so new and shiny.
"60 decks, quantum and photon torpedos..." continued the admiral.
But all had focused on the single name that was on the hull of the ship.
USS Phoenix NCC 1832 -B
The message was clear, this was just the begining...
