Host KevinB says:
<<<<<Recap>>>>>

The Scimitar has arrived in the system shown to be the point of origin of the unknown ship. Scans of the system showed no signs of life but did reveal a "blank spot" located in the system’s asteroid belt. In an attempt to bypass the devices attached to the Scimitar’s ODN network the ship suffered a loss of engine power and began to drift.

Engine power was only restored just as it drifted into the "blank spot" where it found a base consisting of Romulan, Cardassian, Breen, and Federation technology along with a second ship matching the unknown ship previously destroyed. At present the Scimitar is at station keeping with several recently decloaked probe-like objects targeting the Scimitar with temporal energies similar to those of the device on Aiseno IV, and both Q and SFI Jones are very weak.

<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::In Engineering.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::On the bridge, at the turbolift.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::At OPS checking on the engines.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::On the bridge at tactical.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Stands at the turbolift, with the FCO, looking deadly pale.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*AXO* Kalla, prepare the extra Type VI shuttle for launch...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* Aye sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*AXO* Divert all of its emergency power to the shields and rig its warp engines to overload on command. We're going to use it on a kamikaze mission.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Running more scans of the alien base and probes.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* The shuttle is ready. Working on power.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks at the FCO.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Scans for any form of communications.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Sees Cleo.:: SFI: Yes ma'am?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Mr. Rosenberg, status of that base?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Motions to the turbolift.:: FCO: Lead the way, Lieutenant.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
ACO: There is an incoming message, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
SFI: Yes, ma'am.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Goes to the turbolift..:: TL: Shuttle bay 1.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
OPS: On screen.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Gets out of his chair and secures his console and heads to the turbolift.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Sensors show that the decloaked objects are moving closer to us and have targeted us as well...

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks at the ACO.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Puts it on screen.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Maximum shields. Lock phasers on those objects and prepare to fire.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sighs and enters the turbolift after the FCO.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
TL: Shuttle bay one.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Also, the unknown ship's twin is apparently powering up and will be ready in approx. 5 minutes....

Host Q says:
::The face of Adm. Smarr appears on screen.:: <Smarr> Comm: Scimitar: Couldn't leave well enough alone could you, Commander? Well, now you and your crew are going to pay.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Exits the turbolift to shuttlebay. Enters shuttle, starts diverting power.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Turns around and goes paler.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Self: Oh boy.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye Sir...Targeting now... ::Targets the objects with phasers.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Before the doors close, she steps out of the turbolift and walks back onto the bridge.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::The turbolift doors close, and soon Adam arrives and exits.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Walks up to the ACO.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Increases power to tactical::
.
TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Phasers locked, Sir...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
COM: Smarr: I should have known... Admiral. With all due respect, sir, you have violated every tenet the Federation has held dear for more than 200 years. If anyone here has to pay, it should be you.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Enters the shuttle after Kalla.::

E_Jyg`Lo_Ahkileez says:
::Steps out of the Phasma after checking its flight readiness.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: Need some help, ma'am?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Steps closer to the ACO and looks at the screen.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: No, I have just done the power rerouting requested by Commander Andersen.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* Emergency power diverted as per your request.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Adam: What are you doing here?

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Sees Cleo enter the picture.:: COM: ACO/SFI: And who's going to make me pay, Commander. I own Starfleet, besides you'll never be able to tell anyone who's behind this. And even if you do, you can't prove it. All the evidence is on your ship and it will be destroyed shortly... Especially traitors like you, Jones.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: Helping you, or trying to... Have you started the breach yet?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Waits for the ACO's order while keeping an eye on the shield strength.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Swallows.:: COM: Smarr: Your time is up, Smarr. SFC knows about you.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Adam: No.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Monitors the power systems.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: You could do that while I close up this panel.

Host Q says:
<Smarr> Com: SFI: As I've said, Jones, I own Starfleet.  By the way, how’s your implant? ::Grins evilly.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: Ok., ma'am.

E_Jyg`Lo_Ahkileez says:
::Notices the activity by the other shuttle and walks over.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Calmly.:: COM: Smarr: I'm prepared to die. Are you?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Computer: Initiate the self-destruct sequence, maximum explosive and set timer for eleven minutes.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
<Computer> Please confirm with authorization code.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Observing the admiral and slowly shaking his head...Self: My god, and I thought Admirals could be trusted....::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Computer: More, alpha beta gamma delta 64319

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Cuts off comm abruptly, turns to lackey.:: Lackey: Prepare to beam me to the ship, I want to finish them myself.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
<Computer> Second code needed.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: Will you oblige?

E_Jyg`Lo_Ahkileez says:
::Watches as they set it up for a kamikaze run.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Turns to the ACO.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Computer: Kalla Delta five Theta four three

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sees screen go blank.:: TO: Rosenberg, if they're going to try anything, it'll be now. Rotate shield frequencies every two minutes. *AXO* Status, Number One?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: The twin ship is gonna be fully powered in two minutes, Sir...

Host Q says:
<Lackey> Smarr: Bu... but sir, our shields are up, we'd have to... 
<Smarr> ::Smacks lackey across the face.:: Lackey: SILENCE! Do as you’re told or I'll beam you out there with them.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
<Computer> Confirmed. Launch sequence initiated. Beginning countdown.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye Sir..

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Commander, I have an idea.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Glances around quickly, then continues monitoring systems.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: Ok, we have another 11 minutes.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: What's the plan?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Walks over to the ship’s onboard armory.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*ACO* Shuttle ready for send off. Self-destructs in 10.50 minutes.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Programs the shield configuration program to initiate in two-minute intervals.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: If my implant is "reporting back" to him, how about creating some sort of feedback?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Begins setting the phasers to overload.::

Host Q says:
<Lackey> ::Prepares for site-to-site transport.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Finishes up.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Something to damage his ship, at least.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Load quantum torpedoes and prepare to fire at that ship.
Jones: But will it harm you in the process?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: Shall we send it off?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
:::Taps com badge.:: *Hansen* More to Hansen. Begin beaming the explosives, chief.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: That's hardly the issue. We both know I'm dead in any case. ::Smiles gently.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: We should plant the charges...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
<Hansen>*FCO* You've got them, sir. Energizing.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::The explosives are beamed near the shuttle.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: Admittedly a good idea. ::Crooked smile at her forgetfulness.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*Hansen* Thank you. More out.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye Sir...loading quantum torpedoes. The twin ship will be fully powered in one minute.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Swallows hard.:: Jones: ...but you'd rather have him dead. ::Thinks a second.:: Good luck.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Loads the quantum torps and locks onto the twin ship.::

Host Q says:
ACTION: Station’s shields over the "Command hub" go down. Smarr is beamed over to the twin ship just as it fully powers up. Both ship and command hub shields go up moments later.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: I'll position myself inside the shuttle. ::Does so.:: And you can hand me the explosives.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Reaches out and touches the ACO’s arm briefly.:: ACO: Thank you. For everything.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Hands her them one after the other.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
AXO: Put the quantum charge near the transporters.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Taps his badge again.:: *ACO* More to Andersen.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Carefully packs explosives after Adam's directions.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: I'll do everything I can to keep you alive... you're the kind of person Starfleet needs.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Sir, torpedoes ready and locked...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*FCO* Status, Mr. More?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: The twin ship is now fully powered....

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Gasps.:: ACO: I'll pretend I didn't hear that. ::Pales.:: Can I have Lt. Kalla to help me come up with the technical side of this?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO* Nine and a half minutes till destruct. I just had a brainflash, sir. The shuttle will be slow when it is preparing the warp breach.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
OPS: Mr. Hammond, take the helm.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO*: We should send some shuttles to make sure no one destroys it before it hits.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Jumps up and goes to the helm.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: Do it fast...
*AXO* Kalla, we need you on the bridge, immediately.
*FCO* Mr. More, prepare to launch the shuttle once their ship clears the dock.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Sir, the twin ship is heading straight for us... they are powering weapons systems...

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Nods and walks up to Science console one.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO*: Understood.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Transfers OPS to helm.:: ACO: Ready, sir.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Looks through the files and takes out a small device from her pocket.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
OPS: Evasive maneuvers, Ensign. Try to get in behind their six o'clock, optimum firing position.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
FCO: I've got to go. Don't do anything foolish please. *ACO* On my way, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
~~~~AXO: Would I ever my sweet?~~~~

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Initiates maneuver.:: ACO: Aye, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Plants the charges.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~Adam: Yes!~~~~

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
*AXO* Lieutenant, we need to devise a way to use my implant to create a feedback loop which would affect Smarr’s ship. Any ideas?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Goes to the turbolift.:: TL: Bridge.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Q* Captain to Q... please answer, if you can.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
*SFI* On my way. I would need to do a scan of your implant.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
ACO: Incoming message, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
~~~~AXO: Isn’t that they way you like me?~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Plants the last charge.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Silently waiting for the ACO's order while the Scimitar moves in position.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
*AXO* I have several ideas, but I need your input.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
ACO: Audio only.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
OPS: Let's hear it... though I think I know who it is already.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Computer: Time to detonation? 

Host Q says:
::Very weak voice.:: *ACO* Captain now is it?. ::Laugh turns into a coughing fit.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~Adam: I like you, yes. A.o. for your fascinating human characteristics.~~~~

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Patches it through.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: If any of those probes makes a move, destroy them.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::The turbolift arrives at the bridge..:: SFI: Let's get to work. ::Takes a tricorder from science 1.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye Sir...

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
<Computer>: 4 minutes 24 seconds.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Turns so that she can be scanned, while still reading.::

Host Q says:
<Smarr> Scimitar: Message: I just wanted to wish you a final goodbye. Pity about the ship, I could have used it a year from now. Oh well...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Q* Captain, acting captain, does it really matter to you? I needed to ask... what has made you weak in this area of space?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Scans SFI with tricorder.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO*: Sir, I’m ready to launch. Should I launch a shuttle with me onboard, to protect it on its descent?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
COM: Smarr: You won't get my ship... I'll make sure of that.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Keeps track of the probes monitoring their moves.::

Host Q says:
*ACO* Y... you actually expect me to tell you that? I may be weak, but I'm not stupid.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Overhears ACO.:: ACO: So will I...

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*FCO* Negative, Mr. More... reroute life support to the shields, maximum strength.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Walks over to the conn console and plots the course.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Trying to keep on top of everything.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO* Understood.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*Q* You're going to be extinct if you don't tell me... I've got a man who's even more diabolical than you plotting to destroy this ship with everyone onboard unless you tell me!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
SFI: I now have all the data required in the tricorder. ::Links it up to the science console.:: …and am uploading it to the main computer. What were your ideas?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Hits the engage button.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Computer: Launch!

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*FCO* Go on my command.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Gets out of the shuttle as its airlock closes.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Opens a few files and shows them to the AXO.:: AXO: How about that, would that work?

Host Q says:
*ACO* If I do, you and your feeble race will have the power to make me extinct anyway. Destroy the base commander. That's all I'll say.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Runs up to the shuttle controls and erects a force field around it.::

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Steering the ship roughly, out of practice at helm control.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO*: We are ready down here, t-minus 3 minutes 4 seconds.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Quickly glances at the files.:: SFI: We can certainly try. It is a novel way of using our communications network, but it should have a 57% chance of success.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Speaks loudly.:: ACO: Ask him about Aiseno IV.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Nods shakily.:: AXO: Let's get to it, fast.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Ok sir…

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Sits at science station 2. Types away.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO*: Should I launch?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Takes out a small device that she attaches to her head, then looks at Kalla.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Watches the other ship, trying to get around to their 6 position.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
SFI: The communications network on this kind of starship works partially on sub-ether signals. This I hope we can use. ::Takes out a wire.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*FCO* Launch, Mr. More. Destroy that base.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sighs.:: AXO: Gods. Do I want to know?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Resumes comm to Smarr.:: COM: Smarr: By the way, Admiral, how did you explain your presence to the people of Aiseno IV? Gods? Protectors?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Lowers the forcefield.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Watches the sensors.... Waiting for the time to strike.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::The ship hurls out.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Connects wire to device on SFI's head.:: SFI: I don't know, do you? It is rather fascinating.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Destroy any probes in the shuttle's way, Ensign.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Shrugs.:: AXO: My people believe the afterlife is infinite knowledge, I'll know it soon enough.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: How does that feel?~~~~

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~AXO: As expected. Let's get to it.~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO* Should I return to the bridge, sir?

Host Q says:
<Smarr> Com: ACO: ::Laughs.:: I've never been to that stupid planet, commander, and if you hadn't gone there I'd be years behind in my plans. I suppose you could say I owe this all to you.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Nods to the ACO, and turns back to his console... opening another window to show the shuttle's flight path and the probe's position.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Starts rerouting signals from SFI through sub-ether signals.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Decides to do so anyway.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~Jyg: Take care, Lieutenant, safe journey. ::"Sighs"::~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Heads out of the shuttlebay.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*FCO* Get up here, pronto. COM: Smarr: Don't EVER try to pin this on me. We all know you're responsible for bugging my ship, bullying my officers, trying to hang my captain. All I want to know is what you got out of this... aside from the new toys.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Walks along the corridor.::

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Notices the shuttle leaving the Scimitar.:: COM: ACO: Sending a shuttle out, Commander? I wonder why? Makes no difference it will be destroyed like the rest of your ship.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
*ACO* On my way.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Gets into the lift.::

E_Jyg`Lo_Ahkileez says:
~~~~SFI: Thank you for your concern, Commodore. I'm sure you have the thanks of my wife and myself.~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
TL: Bridge, fast.

Host Q says:
<Smarr>COM: ACO: Get out of it. Why, control, ultimate control over planets, over people, over empires over time itself. What more could I want?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Still trying to get position::
.
SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~Jyg: Be careful, and good luck. May She keep Her hand over you.~~~~

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: Here we go, then.~~~~ ::Starts transmitting the signals from SFI through the sub-ether net towards the admiral's ship. Slowly increases the volume.::

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Fires at the shuttle, misses, out of practice at tactical as well.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Arrives on the bridge and steps out.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Glances over to mission ops to look at the current status.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Good. Mr. More, position us between Admiral Smarr's ship and the shuttle.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Boosts the signal while transmitting.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: ::Loudly, but very shakily.:: Ultimate power, what else... ::Gasps.:: He's on an ultimate power trip.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Understood.

Host Q says:
<Smarr>::Fires again, hitting the shuttle a glancing blow, shuttles shields drop to 74%.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Now transmitting the signals, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Runs over to his console.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Sir... the shuttle is under heavy fire from the twin ship...

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Holds onto the console::
.
OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Sees FCO and gets up.:: FCO: All yours.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Sits down.:: All: Evasive delta four.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
TO: Mr. Rosenberg, shields to maximum. Block their weapons' path.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
OPS: Thank you. ::Smiles.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: If I go to ultimate too fast, you will surely die.~~~~

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Goes over to OPS.::

E_Jyg`Lo_Ahkileez says:
~~~~SFI: Yes... I hope she does, thank you.~~~~ ::Heads for the turbolift.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye Sir...

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Fires again, weapons systems cutting in and out.:: Self: What the…

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Transfers OPS back and begins monitoring systems again::
.
FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Looks to shuttle ops.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
OPS: Is there any discernible difference about the Admiral's ship?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~AXO: Stop this nonsense and keep an eye on the signal. Coordinate with TAC, if you must.~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Fifty-four seconds, the shuttle is on course, sir.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Keeps shields at maximum.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Begins checking.:: AXO: Checking on that now, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO, Jones: Whatever you two are going to spring, better do it now.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Aye, sir. ::Smiles.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
SFI: I apologize. ::Boosts to full power.::

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Turns ship towards shuttle,  fires again, hitting it dead center before weapons cut out for good.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Bites back a scream.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: 30 seconds.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
AXO: Yes, their weapon systems are cutting in and out, ma'am.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Takes hold of SFI's arm.:: ~~~~SFI: Hang on, Cleo, it is working.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Moans loudly and sinks to the floor.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: 20 seconds.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: The shuttle is badly damaged Sir... They have a warpcore breach on their hands over there...

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~AXO: Don't... "Cleo" me...~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: 10 seconds.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: Will a mind-meld help?~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Looks to the TO.:: TO: That’s the whole point, ensign!

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
9…

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
8…

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
7…

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Prepare to get out of here, Mr. More... full impulse.
TO: Mr. Rosenberg, fire all weapons at the twin ship.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~AXO: Not you as well! Just take care of... the blasted signal...~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
6…

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
5…

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
4…

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Checks on systems. Working as specified.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Ready!

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Set!

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
1…

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
0!

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Falls to the ground, by some miracle still conscious.::

Host Q says:
ACTION: Shuttle hits base shields. For a few microseconds you can see the ship crumple before a fireball blazes in space.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Engages full impulse.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Yes Sir!!  ::Fires all weapons at the twin ship.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Go to warp the moment we clear the void, Mr. More!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Turns down the boosting.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: The worst is over now.~~~~

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:

<Computer> Warning. Collision imminent.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
Computer: Dang you, we know!

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye!!  ::Fires torpedoes.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
OPS: How about the other ship?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
FCO: Can't do that... the TAC system is badly damaged...

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Offers the ACO his hand to help him up.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Aye, sir. ::Immediately diverts power.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Sir, you should report to sickbay for a full checkup at your earliest convenience.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:

.
Host Q says:
Action: Smarr’s ship still approaching, 15 seconds till impact.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: How are you?~~~~

Host Q says:
5 Seconds

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Understood sir.

ACO: Twin ship impact in 5 seconds.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Leans against console.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Report, Number One...

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Sighs in relief.::  ACO: Their systems are off line, sir.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Immediately gets up. Checks screens.:: ACO: Enemy vessel dead in space, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Swivels chair around to face AXO.:: AXO: Lifesigns?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Opens eyes he wasn’t aware he had closed.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Scans enemy vessel.::

Host Q says:
::Appears on vessel in flash of light::  Self: Much better.

Host Q says:
::Looks around.:: ACO: Really, what will your captain think when she sees this?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Begins scanning the twin ship... trying to figure out the TAC systems.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Scanning now, sir. One life sign.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sees Q.:: Q: She's going to think that we've been had. And she'll be right.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Permission to beam over to investigate.

Host Q says:
AXO: I think not.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Tries to get systems back online, rerouting everything he has to.::

Host Q says:
::Snaps fingers Smarr appears on the bridge, the twin ship and what little is left of the base disappear.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Is still lying around.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sees Smarr.:: TO: Mr. Rosenberg, take Admiral Smarr into custody.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Permission to go to engineering, not much I can do up here now sir....

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Looks at Smarr and draws his phaser.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Stands over SFI Jones. Takes phaser from under console.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Wait sir, I just got a little more power.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Aye Sir...  ::Walks to the admiral.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Goes back to his console.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: No, we'll need you to take us back to Federation space, once we get engines online.
OPS: Mr. Hammond, go down to Engineering and supervise repairs.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
ACO: Aye sir.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Still keeping an eye on Smarr.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Gets up and enters the turbolift.:: TL: Engineering.

Host Q says:
<Smarr> ::Fuming with rage, reaches for his phaser but sees the TO has his drawn.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Takes the Admiral and moves him towards the turbolift.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: You with us?~~~~

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Opens her eyes suddenly.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: Number One, contact Starbase 51, emergency protocol. We're going to need to get this ship up and running fast. And tell them that we have Admiral Smarr in custody for violating Federation law.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Sits up.:: All: Kill him!

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Immediately points phaser at Smarr.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Jones: I'd love to, Cleo, but he's going to have to answer for his crimes first.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Aye, sir. TO: Do you require assistance Mr Rosenberg?

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Arrives on deck 11 and begins setting up repair crews.::

Host Q says:
ACO: Yes, he is, that's why he's coming with us.

Host Q says:
…or rather myself

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Holds on to the console and drags herself up.:: ACO: Then let me talk to him. ::Smiles.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Raises eyebrow.:: Q: Us? What did he do to you?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: What are you up to?~~~~

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
AXO: Any help would be welcome.

Host Q says:
ACO: Perhaps sometime I'll tell you. Until then...

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Steps into the turbolift with the Admiral.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: What are you up to?~~~~

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Faces Smarr.:: Smarr: You don’t deserve to live, you... For everything you've done, and trust me, Nikolai Zhirov has the *full* list!

Host Q says:
::Snaps fingers, the turbolift stops working.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Sees that the best she can do is to call SB 51, and does so.::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~AXO: Silence!~~~~

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: Don't do anything illogical.~~~~

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Looks at the turbolift and notices the stop.::

Host Q says:
<SB51> COM: Scimitar: SB51 here Scimitar, what can we do you for?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: We are through to SB51. ::Puts it on main viewer.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Starts repairs on engines.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q: What has happened to our No. 1 turbolift?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
ACO: Give me five minutes alone with him... ::Voice is unsteady.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Steps out of the turbolift again looking at the AXO and ACO.:: AXO: Ma'am the turbolift doesn't seem to working...

Host Q says:
::Looks at ACO.:: ACO: I do hope you won’t fight me on this commander. I was just starting to like you.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
COM: SB51: Starbase 51, this is Acting Captain Andersen of the Scimitar. We've been... disabled by a subspace explosion of some sort. Engines are inoperative... we may need some assistance out here.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Walks over to SFI.:: SFI: Don't be foolish.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Mutes comm.:: Q: You'll see that justice is done right by us... or the next time you see me, I won't be so pleasant.

Host Q says:
<SB51> ::Sees the state of Scimitar’s bridge.:: Com :Scimitar: What the he... ::ACO speaks.:: Understood ACO, we'll have assistance to you faster then you can say moondoggy.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Turns to Q.:: Q: After what he did to you, you'll let him live?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
Q: If you really want to help. Give us power to reach SB 51.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
Nearest EO: I don't care what you have to do, get those engines online.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Takes off mute.:: COM: SB51: Roger that. We'll be waiting. Scimitar out. ::Ends comm, turns to Q.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~SFI: If you really want to kill him. Don't do it here in front of everyone.~~~~

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Closes comm link.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Q: Do we understand each other, my friend?

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Still standing on the bridge with the admiral... waiting..::

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
~~~~AXO: Goddess, will you be quiet for just one second, Lieutenant?! ::"Voice" is unsteady.::~~~~

Host Q says:
ALL: Please, please one at a time, AXO: I'm afraid I can't, my work here is done, 
SFI: I’d prefer to see him suffer to the luxury of death... wouldn't you. ACO: I think we do
::Snaps fingers again, Smarr and himself disappear... and most of the Scimitar’s damage is repaired.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Wonders if this was really all a dream.:: FCO: Do we have engine power, Mr. More?

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Face goes absolutely white all of a sudden and she falls flat on her back, hitting her head on the console in the process.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Checks systems.:: ACO: Science systems up to 77%.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Confirmed.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: 77% helm power.

SFI_Cleo_Jones says:
::Is out cold, and it seems for good this time.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Sees the Admiral disappear and gets back to his console.::

Host Q says:
<Meds> ::Finally arrive.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
ACO: Tactical systems at 74%.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
FCO: Then rendezvous with whatever ship Starbase 51 sends, so they can patch us up and get us back. Meds: I'm OK... ::Sees Jones on floor.:: ...but you'd better tend to Agent Jones.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Wonders if everyone knows that the wedding is in seven days and misses Terry being here.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
*ACO* Most of the damage seems to have repaired itself, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Understood. Course plotted. Engaging.

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Weird.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
Meds: Get her to sickbay...

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: You should go too, sir.

Host Q says:
<Meds> ACO: aye sir. ::Kneel by Cleo and arrange a site-to-site.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Looks around for FCO and AXO.:: AXO: No, I'll be all right... just a cut lip, I think.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Course set sir. Anything else?

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
All, *OPS* Mr. Hammond, you have the bridge... Number One, Mr. More, please join me in the ready room.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: As long as you are sure, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
*OPS* Ensign, stand your watch at the helm.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Understood.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO: I'm sure, Kalla. ::Walks through the ready room doors.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Gets up.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Aye, sir. ::Walks to ready room.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
*ACO* Aye sir.

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Sees the ACO, AXO and FCO walk into the ready room and turns back at his console.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Enters a turbolift.:: TL: Bridge.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Wonders what the Commander wants.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Walks past a replicator.:: Computer: Towel. ::Waits for it to materialize, then picks it up and dabs his lip with it::
.
Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Sits down behind desk.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Follows the AXO into the ready room.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Exits the turbolift and takes the helm.::

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO, FCO: The reason I want to talk to you concerns... the wedding. As acting captain, I have to sign off on your request to get married.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO, FCO: I guess... I guess I just want to make sure you two are making the right decision.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Stands next to the AXO stood behind the ACO's desk and gets a sudden image of when he and Kalla were first assigned.::

TO_Ens_Rosenberg says:
::Takes some reports from under the console and begins to read them.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Takes a breath.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Remembers her first idea of maybe having feelings  - what a word - for Adam.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Lets out his breath.::. ACO: I’m sure, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Turns to AXO:: AXO: And you, Number One?

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Waits for Kalla's answer dreading she might say something negative and gulps.::

OPS_Ens_Hammond says:
::Thinks: Wow, just an Ensign and I have the bridge.  Who would have thought.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
::Looks at Adam.:: ACO: I am sure, too, sir. It seems right.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Lets out the breath he hadn’t even know he was holding in.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
~~~~AXO: I love you so much, my sweet. ~~~~~

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
AXO, FCO: Just to be clear... just because you two are married, Mr. More, you shouldn't expect any kind of special treatment. She may be your wife, but she is still my first officer. And Kalla... you have to continue to set an example for the rest of the ship. Do I make myself clear?

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Yes, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
ACO: Loud and clear, sir.

Host ACO_CDR_Andersen says:
::Takes out a PADD.:: AXO, FCO: Then I am hereby approving your request to be married at any time on or after stardate 10008.07. ::Stands up.:: Dismissed.

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
~~~~Adam: Unbelievably enough, so do I.~~~~

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
::Takes the padd and marches out.::

Host AXO_Lt_Kalla says:
ACO: Yes, sir. ::Turns to go.::

FCO_LtJG_Adam_More says:
~~~~Kalla: I don’t think he likes the idea......~~~~
