Host XO_Black says:
::walks into the shuttlebay, straightening his uniform while glancing at the rest of the AT following him::

CMO_Varesh says:
::hovers around Dref, scanning him for a last time before they enter the shuttlebay::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::notices the CSO is not here so he sits at SCI1::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::at Tac-I, trying to make sense of the bad sensor readings::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::boots up SCI1 and prepares to find information about this nebula::

OPS-Exeter says:
::behinds his station monitoring the Kinwe Scouts::

Cmdr_Dref says:
::Stares idly ahead, trying to ignore the annoying presence of the doctor. With a groan, he takes a step back and frowns:: CMO: Are we done already, or do you want to try a new type of voodoo medicine technique you picked up lately?

EO_Leasha says:
::walks into the shuttle bay humming a tune to herself rather on the happy side::

CMO_Varesh says:
Dref: Commander, you're here on my sufferance. You can go back to sickbay if you want. ::smiles sweetly::

TO_DuPont says:
::Enters the shuttle bay::

Host XO_Black says:
::moves to the shuttle prepared for the away team and glances back, seeing everyone drop in one by one::

EO_Leasha says:
::sees the TO walk in still humming to herself and picks up her tool box::

CMO_Varesh says:
::gets into the shuttle and waits for departure::

Cmdr_Dref says:
CMO: Ever so charming, Doctor. Will that be all, or should I beg now? ::Smirks and enters the shuttle after the CMO::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::reorients the lidar and tries to get a new position on the scout ships::

TO_DuPont says:
::Enters the shuttle and nods at the XO and the CMO::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Sir, may I ask for a favour?

CMO_Varesh says:
::grins:: Dref: No need to beg, Commander. I'll send you back gladly, but the higher ups decided you are needed, so I have to try and keep you alive. Shall we just pretend I'm doing my job?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::doesn't look up:: SO: I'm a little busy here. What can I help you with? ::glances at the incoming reports from the fighter wings::

OPS-Exeter says:
::looking around the bridge and then looks  back too the viewer::

TO_DuPont says:
XO: Sir it would be remiss of me not to recommend that we abort this away mission considering what happened on the Miz'nareal!

EO_Leasha says:
::wonders when there going to get moving and remembers to remind herself to check the ceiling this time::

Cmdr_Dref says:
CMO: Fun, isn't it? ::moves to the back of the shuttle:: XO: Everything ready to go?

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Well my job is to find more info on this nebula and how we can use it to our tactical advantage, so I was wondering if you can help, but if you are busy then it is ok, ill try to do it by myself

EO_Leasha says:
::hears the TO and sighs::

TO_DuPont says:
::Sits down in the pilots seat and begins the start up sequence::

CMO_Varesh says:
::chuckles and takes a seat:: Dref: Whatever you say, Commander.

EO_Leasha says:
::enters the shuttle and moves to a comfy seat checking she has her lucky spanner this time::

Host XO_Black says:
::glances at the TO::  TO: Noted, Ensign... but duty calls and that’s not always in convenient locations or at convenient times.. remember that.. ::smiles::  Now... I believe you know the way to the Sla'nistra.. ::sits down at tactical control::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looks up finally:: SO: We should have something you can work with in a couple of minutes. Lidar won't get very far in this clouding but it should give us decent readings on our surroundings. If you can manage it, can you check the synching on the sensor relay pods we launched?

TO_DuPont says:
XO: Aye sir ::concentrates on the shuttle::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Aye sir

TO_DuPont says:
*OPS* This is the shuttle Cochran, requesting permission to depart the main shuttle bay

EO_Leasha says:
::Starts humming away to herself again ::

Host XO_Black says:
::nods at Dref::  Dref: We're all ready here....  let's get this show on the road... I would like to be in and out as quickly as possible..

OPS-Exeter says:
::yawns:: *TO*: Permission granted, Opening Hangar Doors ::opens the shuttlebay doors:: Good hunting, Exeter out!

SO_K`Nargh says:
::starts to get information on the sensor relay pods to see if they are working correctly::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: The sensor relay pods are working perfectly sir

EO_Leasha says:
::Sits back and buts her feet on her tool box ::

TO_DuPont says:
@::eases the shuttle of the floor and gently exits the shuttle bay, once safely past the Scimitar, speed is increased to 3/4's impulse::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the Klingon, eyes widening slightly as to say "Well?"::

TO_DuPont says:
@::swivels in his chair to face the XO::  XO: ETA 5 minutes Sir

CMO_Varesh says:
@::sits back in his chair and glances at the readings on his tricorder::

Host XO_Black says:
@TO: Very well, steady as she goes, Ensign...

ENV_Heaton says:
::Closes up the hatch behind which he was working and stands up to straighten his uniform::

Host XO_Black says:
@::turns to face the rest of the AT::  All: I hope you know what to do once we get onboard...?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Sighs, he turns around to face with EO. With a shake of head he turns to face the head of the shuttle before speaking:: EO: I trust we've learned our mistakes from last time, yes?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::glances over at Dref:: Dref: Commander, which part of our assignment do you want me to handle?

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: What mistake Sir ::smiles:: I’ll try not to let the ceiling fall down on us this time sir

TO_DuPont says:
@::Smiles to himself at hearing the EO's comment and takes a look on his sensors at the approaching Kinwe scout ships::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looks down at the console as it beeps and gets a burst transmission from the fighters as they head back in::  OPS: Contact Commander Black immediately!

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: I'm referring to the timer, which I didn't request at that time. You're fully aware of that. ::Turns to face the CMO, he nods and pauses for a moment:: CMO: You'll handle our last job, the life support. Easy enough?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::smiles:: Dref: Perfect...

OPS-Exeter says:
::opens Commlink:: CTO: Comm open, Lt.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: With all due respect Sir how did you expect me to shut it down and get everyone out ?

Host XO_Black says:
@::looks at the TO::  TO: ETA, Ensign ?

CSUP_Takahashi says:
::somewhere in cargobay::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: To remind you, we were waiting for a message from the XO. That message never came, did it?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looks up, out of habit::  *XO*: Commander Black, Lieutenant Ahkileez. Sir, we have the scout ships moving toward the Sla'nistra's position. Should we move to intercept?

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: 1 minute Sir

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: My apologies Sir, but I didn't hear you with all the noise going on ... but if you feel I am not capable of carrying out my job ... then I will wait aboard the shuttle

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: Incoming hail from the Scimitar, sir

Host XO_Black says:
@::nods at the TO and hears the CTO's comm and frowns, tapping a few buttons::  *CTO*: Affirmative, we need to get that data out of there, occupy them as long as we're on it...

TO_DuPont says:
@::brings the shuttle in on an approach vector towards the shuttle bay::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: You learn from your mistakes, Ensign. That's part of your Starfleet career. Please note that I meant no disrespect, but knowing your mistakes will surely help you avoid them in the future, don't you agree?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::digests the essence of those orders in a moment of silence:: *XO*: Understood, sir. Scimitar out.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: perfectly Sir

CSUP_Takahashi says:
::goes over some supplies::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::blinks:: Self: He's more sensitive than I thought... note to self, reassess opinion of the commander.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Smiles, he nods:: EO: Then we understand each other?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::glances at Exeter:: OPS: Bring us about, bearing 200, mark 118, one quarter impulse and sound Red Alert.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Perfectly Sir ::looks to the front of the shuttle ::

Host XO_Black says:
@TO: Mr DuPont, better get us onboard quickly... ::smiles::  Dref: Commander, are you up for it ?

ENV_Heaton says:
::Oversees the TIC, wondering why everyone is this tense..::

TO_DuPont says:
@::slows the shuttle down to thrusters and gently brings the shuttle into the main shuttle bay on the Sla'nistra and lands her::

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Aye, Bearing 200 mark 118, Starting red Alert! ::moves the ship at one quarter impulse::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::checks personal and official weapons and equipment::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@XO: Same basic laws still apply for this mission as well, agreed?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::opens a intercom:: *ENV*: Bridge to TIC.

Host XO_Black says:
@::nods::  Dref: Agreed...

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods:: XO: After you, Commander.

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: Sir we've landed ::checks the atmosphere aboard the ship::

EO_Leasha says:
@::Looks at Dref wondering what he meant by that comment::

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO* Heaton here.. hold on, intelligence is telling me something here..

CMO_Varesh says:
@::keeps a light mental touch with Dref::

Host XO_Black says:
@TO: Excellent Ensign, atmosphere inside ?

ENV_Heaton says:
<Intel_Guy> ENV: The scouts are heading for the Sla'nistra, sir!

TO_DuPont says:
@XO: Atmosphere is breathable Sir ::stands up and opens the armoury taking out type 2 phasers and handing them to the away team::

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO*: Did you hear that, sir?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::says it for the record::  Bridge: I'm bringing the weapons online, loading tubes six through ten.

Host XO_Black says:
@TO: Acknowledged..  ::stands and opens the outside doors of the shuttle, checking his equipment for the last time before moving out::

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Do I really need a phaser Sir ? I’m not so keen on carrying them…

CSUP_Takahashi says:
::looks inside boxes with medical supplies:: SUP: Get these boxes to Sickbay ASAP.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::gets up and exits the shuttle, checking his equipment again::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: The sensors show that there is to much ionic static for transporters and tractor beams

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Plotting intercept course, your decision, lt.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
*ENV*: I heard it. Have the fighters flank the scout ships but do not engage unless ordered to. ::grits his teeth and prays for sensors to work, just for five minutes::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Follows the XO taking out his tricorder and begins scanning for the quickest way towards the bridge::

SO_K`Nargh says:
::looks back at the CTO as he says those words::

CSUP_Takahashi says:
<SUP> CSUP: Yes sir ::picks up two boxes and goes of to sickbay::

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO* Hmm.. they seem to have no interest in us..

CTO_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Put us directly in their path and maintain speed. All stop at 20,000km.

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO* Already on it..

EO_Leasha says:
@::follows everyone out and scans with a tricorder grabbing a phaser on the way ::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@EO: Standard Starfleet procedure. ::Turns to the CMO as well:: CMO, EO: Let's head to ME?

ENV_Heaton says:
::Arranges for a fighter wave to take off::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
SO: Once we've got some distance to play with, launch additional probes to see if we can extend our range.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::pulls out tricorder and scans the area, just to be sure:: Dref: After you, sir.

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Best place to start Sir

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Yes, sir

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Aye, Suggest we just disable them  ::flies the scimitar in the Kinwe path::

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: I'll lead !

TO_DuPont says:
@::Heads off towards the bridge::

Host XO_Black says:
@::slowly breathes the atmosphere, looking at his tricorder readings::  All: Good Luck and I expect everyone to return in one piece.. ::grins a little and heads out of the shuttlebay, splitting up from the rest of the AT::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::blinks:: EO: By all means.

CSUP_Takahashi says:
<SUP> ::in TL heading for Sickbay::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods:: XO: Good luck. ::Begins making his way towards one of the nearby doors while checking his PADD for the location of ME::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: How much distance before I should launch the additional probes

CMO_Varesh says:
@::follows along with Dref and Leasha, scanning the floor and ceilings in particular::

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: why thank you Sir pushes a little ahead of Dref and hurries towards ME::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::takes a deep breath::  OPS: The captain doesn't want a war. Just keep us on their trail for now and monitor their transmissions. This far out alone, there's got to be backup.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::narrows his eyes as he watches the EO rushing ahead::

TO_DuPont says:
@::begins navigating through the twister corridors littered with debris, making sure to check the floor integrity with his tricorder as he walks on::

CMO_Varesh says:
@EO: Make sure you check the stability of the floors and ceilings, Ensign.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::tries to bring up a mental map of what they'd done so far:: SO: Launching once we're 50,000km from the last beacon should be sufficient I think? Launch at your discretion.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Aye sir

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Your wish, but I suggest we act if they get too close too the Away team!

SO_K`Nargh says:
::puts his finger over the release button and waits::

Host XO_Black says:
@::making his way though corridors, frowning several times at the relative limited sight at times and glances at the TO::  TO: Are your scans also picking up the bridge section with debris..?

EO_Leasha says:
@::quickly checks her tricorder to make sure she is safely going in the right direction :: Dref/CMO: Nearly there ::Smiles at the CMO's Comment :: CMO: And like I would forget, Sir

ENV_Heaton says:
::Gets a message from intel::  *CTO* Sir, the Kinwe are docking onto the Sla'nistra right now.. fighters are in position and standing by.

Host XEN_El_Aziz says:
ACTION: The lights on the Sla'nistra suddenly go out, and all power is lost, even to tricorders.  No-one can see a thing.

CSUP_Takahashi says:
<SUP> ::arrives at his destination and enters:: MO: Here are supplies Sir

TO_DuPont says:
@::Glances back at the XO: XO: I'm getting the same scan sir...what the  ::as the lights go out::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::sighs:: EO/Dref: Don't move at all.

EO_Leasha says:
@::Stops suddenly an whacks the tricorder::  DREF: Erm Sir

Host XO_Black says:
@::immediately stops walking as everything goes black::  TO: What is this...??

CSUP_Takahashi says:
<MO> SUP: Thank you, put them over there please  ::points::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Drops to a crouch and unholsters his phaser checking the power reading::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: OPS: All stop, maintain passive comm silence. *ENV*: Heaton, tell the fighters to hold their positions.

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: Sir if I can get to ME I might be able to get some power back ... anyone got a torch

Host XO_Black says:
@::turns to the TO and suddenly feels a sharp pain at the back of his skull as he hits the ground::

CMO_Varesh says:
@EO: You think the torches will work if our tricorders are disabled as well?

OPS-Exeter says:
::shakes head::  self: I did warn him 

TO_DuPont says:
@::Whispers::  XO: Sir, I'm guessing some kind of energy reading ::hears a dull thud and footsteps moving away::

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO* Aye. ::silently transmits hold command to the kanedas::

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: Well they say us Engineers are Miracle workers Sir .. you never know

Host XEN_El_Aziz says:
ACTION: The acoustics in the corridors make locating fellow crewmembers almost impossible

CSUP_Takahashi says:
<SUP> ::puts the boxes away and leaves sickbay::

Host XO_Black says:
@::moans softly while unconscious::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::tries finding Dref and Leasha mentally, but heads off in a different direction::

TO_DuPont says:
@::notices his phaser has no power::  XO: Commander?

EO_Leasha says:
@Dref: Sir your orders ?

TO_DuPont says:
@::hears the moan and does a 360 degree trying to detect where the sound came from::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::sits back on the stool behind Tac-I:: OPS: Put the scout ships on viewer please, and magnify. While we're here, let's get a good look at them.

CMO_Varesh says:
@EO/Dref: Ensign! Commander! Where are you! ::feels around for the bulkheads::

TO_DuPont says:
@::Feels for the corridor walls trying to get his bearings::

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: No can do, too much interference too see them properly!

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Permission to release the sensors, sir?

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: I’m here Sir haven’t moved an inch since you said don't move…

Host XEN_El_Aziz says:
@::is crawling along in the corridor, trying to get her bearings::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::raises one finger:: SO: Hold a minute.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Yes, sir

CTO_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Get me what you do have, not what you don't. We have the time, the computer can scrub what we can manage.

SO_K`Nargh says:
::turns around and waits for the CTO'S orders::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::hears nothing:: Self: V, you're an idiot and should be flogged with a wet noodle. ::taps his comm badge, hoping it will work:: *Dref*: Commander, I seem to have misplaced you.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: SO: They won't pick up motion in this soup, but they might pick up the energy burst from the launchers. ::thinks:: How big are those probes?

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: I suggest you get something against a headache, only thing you'll see is static. ::puts the Scout ship on the viewer and magnifies::

EO_Leasha says:
@::hears the CMO::  CMO: Sir have we lost Dref ?

CMO_Varesh says:
@::mutters about substandard equipment and contracts to the lowest bidder.::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: About 1.5 metres wide 2 metres tall

Host XEN_El_Aziz says:
@::turns a corner, hearing conversation.  As she sees silhouettes in the dark, enhanced by torchlight, she stops in horror, and listens to the conversation as it ensues, transfixed in terror::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::stumbles over something and decides to stop moving::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::turns his head and then nods:: SO: Good. Have them transported up to the Flight Deck and we'll use the landing tractors in there to launch them. The energy will be shielded.

EO_Leasha says:
@::doesn’t hear the CMO and gets a little worried and paces off hand along the wall to try and find where she last thought Dref and the Doc was::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Yes sir

TO_DuPont says:
@::find a wall and tries to orientate himself to where he last saw the XO, begins sweeping the floor with his hands::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::stares into the static, his mind -like most- trying to find pattern in the chaos:: OPS: Do you see any weapons emplacements? Weak points?

SO_K`Nargh says:
::presses a view keys and the sensors arrive in the flight deck:: CTO: Sensors are in the flight deck ready for launch

EO_Leasha says:
@Self: This is ridiculous

Host XO_Black says:
@::still moaning softly on the floor, opening his eyes narrow, coughing as he tries to move his hands::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::keeps up his surveillance:: SO: Launch.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::finds a door as he stops, opens it and enters a large room:: Self: Ok, this is no corridor. ::speaks up:: Anybody: Hello?!

TO_DuPont says:
@::Hears the moan again and whispers:: XO: Commander?

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Launching sir ::hits the launch button and the sensors depart from the scimitar::

EO_Leasha says:
@:: Wonders briefly if she should head to ME Hoping the layout will be the same as the other ship or head to the shuttle ::

ENV_Heaton says:
::drumming his fingers on the side of a panel he's leaning on, staring at the tactical outlay of the fighter's positions::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::the door creaks... opening slowly:: Self: Bad maintenance.

EO_Leasha says:
@::decides to head for ME and carefully walks in that direction ::

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Well, too be honest I can't see a thing

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::exhales heavily:: OPS: Okay. Do we still have good comm signals from the away team?

TO_DuPont says:
@::Feels an entrance way  and slips around the corner leaning against the wall::

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Easy answer, none!

CMO_Varesh says:
@::stands still in the doorway::

Host XO_Black says:
@::slowly tries to get on his feet, checking his phaser in his holster and getting it out::  Self: My god...  what happened here...  ::taps his commbadge::  *TO*: Black to DuPont, respond..

OPS-Exeter says:
::looks at his console bewildered::  All: None??????

EO_Leasha says:
@::feels a turn and hopes this will lead to ME ::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::raises a single eyebrow:: OPS: Do you enjoy this, Exeter? The danger? The chaos? I do not.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Walks silently ahead, keeping his hands in front of him as he progresses. With a quick glance around at the dark area his hands touch something, frowning, he notices that it's a door in front of him. Opening it up he notices a larger room::

Host XO_Black says:
@::looks up seeing only darkness around him, hearing only static::  Self: You got to be kidding me...

CMO_Varesh says:
@::decides to get out of the opening and moves to the side, leaning against the wall, phaser out and ready, for what its worth::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I think this nebula is making it hard for us to get any comm signals...although I think you already knew that ::grins::

EO_Leasha says:
@::Notices the door does not open and sighs and sits on the floor and taps her comm badge:: *AT*: Can anyone actually here me ?

TO_DuPont says:
@::Slips to the floor and rechecks his phaser stripping the power cell and replacing it hoping it would work again::

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Chaos?? Danger?? Too be honest, Who said they are in danger? been too long in this gig too see everything as Danger

Host XO_Black says:
@Self: Got to get moving...out of...... where ever I am.. ::slowly moves forward, moving his hands in front of him to scan for anything in his way::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::goes into a crouch as he hears some scuffling in the dark::

EO_Leasha says:
@::doesn't get a reply so decides to go on walk a bout back the other way ::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
OPS: I'll share that sentiment when they're back aboard in one piece. In the meantime, we'll do everything to make sure they stay that way.

TO_DuPont says:
@::Hears a movement and stops what he is doing remaining as quite and as still as possible::

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: Only way too do that is getting on that ship!

EO_Leasha says:
@::Suddenly feels a door and it slides open pulls her phaser out and crawls in not that she can see anything ::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::looks over his shoulder:: SO: Those probes have comm ability. See if they can boost the signals as they get scattered in here. We need to know what's going on with our people, and we need to know what's going on with the Kinwe.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Pauses, he narrows his eyes as his senses alert him of a strange sound near him. With a frown, he tries to locate the scuffling sound::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::reaches out with his mind again... someone close, and scared.::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Understood sir

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::presses the blue comm button again::  *ENV*: Bridge to TIC..

CMO_Varesh says:
@::frowns as he feels more present, and recognises them. Speaks up::  All: Hello?

Host XO_Black says:
@::moves further, letting his right hand touch the side of the wall as he moves on::

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO* Heaton here, sir.

TO_DuPont says:
@CMO: Uhh  Dr.?

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Sighs, he shakes his head and frowns::  CMO: Doctor.

EO_Leasha says:
@::Crawls a little further into the room and tries to a consol or something.. suddenly hears a voice::  CMO: Doctor ?

SO_K`Nargh says:
::turns back to SCI1 and sees if the sensors can boost the signals::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
*ENV*: Do the fighters have visual on the scout ships?

Host XO_Black says:
@::suddenly hears a voice matching the CMO’s::  CMO: Doctor ??

CMO_Varesh says:
@TO/EO/Dref: The one and same... Now, can someone tell me, who turned out the lights.

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: I’m getting faint signals but it is unclear babble

CMO_Varesh says:
@XO: Over here, sir.  All: Seems we are all nervous of things that go bump in the dark.

EO_Leasha says:
@::Hears the others:: CMO: Okay is it me are we all here ?

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO* I just got informed that the Kinwe ships are leaving the Sla'nistra, sir.

Host XO_Black says:
@::moves along through a doors into a dark room::  CMO: Thank God...  ::feels his neck, feeling the warmth of blood at his hand::

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::continues to watch the static from Tactical::  SO: Let the computer work on it for awhile, as well as the UT.

Host XEN_El_Aziz says:
ACTION: The lights suddenly come back on

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Aye sir

TO_DuPont says:
@::covers his eyes::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::blinks as the lights come back on and momentarily blinds him::

EO_Leasha says:
@CMO: and as for your question Sir I have no idea and have yet to find the on switch.. suddenly closes her eyes as the lights come on::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Closes his eyes against the bright light, he curses and takes a step forward:: All: Do we have power to our tricorder's now?

CTO_Ahkileez says:
*ENV*: Have the fighters pace them and inform us when the Kinwe are at least 20,000 km away.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::turns:: OPS: Once they are, open a channel to Commander Black.

Host XO_Black says:
@::shields his eyes with his hands as he tries to get accustomed to the light::  Self: Great....

CMO_Varesh says:
@::pulls out his tricorder:: All: These seem to work again. ::frowns and walks over to Black:: XO: You are hurt... how did that happen?

Host XEN_El_Aziz says:
@::enters the room, visibly shaken::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@All: If so, can someone please scan this cursed ship?

EO_Leasha says:
@::Checks tricorder:: Dref: yes Sir

CMO_Varesh says:
@::turns with phaser drawn as El Aziz enters::

OPS-Exeter says:
::opens a Comm link:: *XO*: Brian you there???

TO_DuPont says:
@::Checks the power on his phaser and notices its a full power, checks his tricorder as well:: XO: Sir looks like we have power back to our equipment

ENV_Heaton says:
*CTO* Understood. ::Issues the order for the fighters to pace the Kinwe::

Host Taq`fan says:
::enters the bridge::

Host XO_Black says:
@::looks at the CMO::  CMO: Yeah...I believe so... looks at the blood on his hands::  someone hit me pretty hard.. ::grumbles softly::

EO_Leasha says:
@::looks at the TO:: TO: You fond of that phaser by any chance ? ::smiles::

TO_DuPont says:
@::draws phaser to cover the person who just entered the room::

Host XO_Black says:
@::glances at the TO::  TO: Good...

Cmdr_Dref says:
@All: Okay, if everything is over let's resume our jobs. ::Glances back at the CMO and the EO:: EO, CMO: Come on.

Host Taq`fan says:
CTO: Where is the Captain?

OPS-Exeter says:
COM: Away team:: This IS the Scimitar, anyone there???

CMO_Varesh says:
@::sees DuPont react and goes back to Black, quickly treating the wound:: XO: No kidding. That should hold until I can treat you properly back on the ship.

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::straightens slightly:: Taq: Ambassador, Captain Winters is in Main Engineering, attending to something. Can I help you?

CMO_Varesh says:
@Dref: Coming, commander. I just want to finish up here.

Host Taq`fan says:
::looks agitated, his brow wiggling furiously::  CTO: I must speak with him urgently.

Host XO_Black says:
@::smiles faintly::  CMO: Thanks Doc..   *OPS*: Black here...

Cmdr_Dref says:
@CMO: What's wrong with the Commander? ::Walks towards them::

EO_Leasha says:
@::Stands up to walk with the others just wanting to get to ME::

CMO_Varesh says:
@::smiles back at Black, and goes over to Dref.:: Dref: Someone hit him, and pretty hard.

OPS-Exeter says:
*XO*: CTO, want to have a chat with ya

CTO_Ahkileez says:
Taq: I can have someone escort you down, sir. Is that what you want?

Host Taq`fan says:
CTO: No.  I must warn you now.  There is no time to lose.

Cmdr_Dref says:
@::Nods:: CMO: Can he resume his work here or should he head back?

TO_DuPont says:
@Xen_el_Aziz: Don't move don't even breathe!

OPS-Exeter says:
CTO: XO's waiting!

CTO_Ahkileez says:
::frowns:: Taq: Then what is it, sir?

SO_K`Nargh says:
::looks back as the CTO says this::  CTO: If you need anyone to escort him down, it will be a pleasure

EO_Leasha says:
@ Dref: sir I can go and make a start if you wish ::looks at the TO::

Host XO_Black says:
@*OPS*: Patch him through...  ::moves along::  All: Everyone except me all right ?

CMO_Varesh says:
@Dref: He can do his job. Lets just get it over with. My bump of trouble is itching.

Host Taq`fan says:
<El_Aziz> TO: Hey, it's only me, sir.....::raises her hands, slightly scared::

Cmdr_Dref says:
@CMO: That's the spirit. Let's go. ::Walks towards the EO:: EO: Which way?

OPS-Exeter says:
*XO*: Brian, Just a sec. Something is going on

EO_Leasha says:
@::shakes head at the To slightly amused and heads out humming ::Dref: this way Sir

CTO_Ahkileez says:
SO: That won't be necessary I don't think, just contact Engineering and request the captain come to the bridge.

CMO_Varesh says:
@::follows along, muttering fondly of commanding officers and hard heads, thinking of Kayta, Chloe and Serena::

SO_K`Nargh says:
CTO: Aye sir

Host Taq`fan says:
CTO: I've received word from my government.  It would seem that we have run out of time.  The Ritanai are on a direct heading to the nebula.  We have 30 minutes to complete the mission, or we may all be dead.
