CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Switches from one arm to another to lean on, trying to observe as much as possible.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::runs some simulations on his console about if the Orion ships catch up::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::spots the CMO fidgeting:: CMO: Problem with your chair Zoran?
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 5, heading is the same as we left the Star base, Sir.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::checks the shield arrays and weapon systems once more, seeing that repair teams are all standing by as per the 2nd Officer's orders::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Increase to warp 8.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 8 Sir? May I remind you of the restrictions on warp speed?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks up at the call for warp eight, happy about the decision::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks up at the XO:: XO: Excuse me? ::Rubs his hand through the white streak in his hair.:: I am just trying to get in touch with the different jobs of all the crew on the bridge. Those are rather more extensive as the people down in sickbay.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: No, you may not, we already have clearance to break warp 6.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Aye Sir, warp 8.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Commander Abmeraz, shields and weapons are at full readiness, repair teams standing by in case of an emergency. All emergency power ready to be rerouted on command.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
Self: ****
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Walks around in sickbay and walks over to the CMO's office for a moment.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Nods at the CEO:: CEO: Thank you lieutenant. Please stand by. ::Looks at the XO with a question in his eyes whether he should relay that message to him.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::nods back::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::As she sits down in the CMO's chair, she takes the PADD at hand with the notes from the counselling session and reads it very carefully again.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: What are those ships doing? They still shadowing us?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Still with us Sir, no change in their course or speed
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::notices the CMO looking at him and raises his eyebrows::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::gets more comfortable in his seat, but not too comfortable::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Scratches her head a few times.:: *CNS*: Nurse Lenny to Ensign Numark.

ACTION:  One of the 2 ships that are shadowing the Scimitar drop off the sensors

CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Raises his eyebrows and nods at the XO again with the same questionable look.::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::still recovering from the counselling sessions he had::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Sir, 2 of the ships shadowing us have dropped out of sensor range
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*Lenny*: Ensign Numark here, what seems to be the problem?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Something on your mind Commander? ::smiles::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: If we boost power, maybe we can increase our range. We don't want to get caught out
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Correction, one is still on sensors, the other is no longer in contact
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::makes ready to transfer power::

<EO_Spanner>  :: in engineering, doing engineering stuff ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> *CNS*: Not really a problem ma'am, but... what kind of music would I used for a Rutian?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Out of range or some other reason?
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*Lenny*: I think you could use any kind really, it all depends on the person.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::mind wanders off, again::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
XO: Well, the CEO mentioned that he had everything ready should we engage... I was actually curious whether I should relay that message, or that you have heard it as well.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Unknown, it’s just dropped off sensors
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::but unnoticeable for the rest::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::nods to the CMO in thanks:: CIV: See if you can find it again, scan its projected position for tachyons just in case they cloaked.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> *CNS*: Well... I didn't get the time to know him that well actually. I've never asked for his favourite kind of music. And to be honest ma'am... I am not that musical.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::increases scanning range and intensity::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::diverts more power to the sensors:: CIV: That should help
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::makes sure OPS has enough power, seeing as it's already strained divided between weapons and shields::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
OPS: Thanks ::scans the full spectrum, including tachyon sweeps::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*Lenny*: Why don't you try some instrumental type of music, it's just meant to be soft music playing in the background really.

ACTION:  The ship that dropped off sensors suddenly appears within phaser range.  The Scimitar is hit by a phaser strike and drops out of warp.

CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: It’s the ship we lost off sensors!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::diverts the extra power from sensors back to the weapons and shields::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Warp drive is offline!
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::hears the CEO:: CEO: What?!?!?!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*Engineering*: Strauss, get that core back online!
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::targets the attacking ship:: XO: Shall I return fire?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
XO: Sir, Warp drive is offline!

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  Sir, warp drive is offline!!  Fire suppression is activated.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::hopes the CIV won't miss this time::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::wakes up from daydreaming::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: What do you think? FIRE DAMMIT!

ACTION:  The ship disappears again.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::taps his badge::*EO*: You have got to be kidding me?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Get us out of here!!!
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::fires phasers, being damn sure to hit this time::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Aye Sir. Going at full impulse.

ACTION:  The CIV misses.....yet again

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::hits some buttons::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::misses::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Sir, the good thing is weapons and shields are holding. But I don't know when we can get back to warp. ::stands up and checks the upper panels::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Stays quite as she makes new notes on the PADD as the ship suddenly rocks.:: *CNS*: Thanks ma'am, but I think I need to get back to work... What happened?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::wonders if the targeting scanners are aligned correctly::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
Self: Never had this problem on a Galaxy class
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
CEO: Lieutenant, how are the shields holding up?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::hits a control on his chair console:: Ship Wide: All hands, Battle stations!

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  No sir, I'm not kidding.  We have it under control.

CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*Lenny*: Your welcome, I don't actually know what happened.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO/CMO: A small plasma fire erupted in main engineering, it is under control and we should have warp capability soon, the shields are holding at 80%.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> *CNS*: If you are not too busy, can I call you if I need some help down here?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::checks power flow to the engines::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::continues to scan for the attacking ship, and keeps on mumbling to himself::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::keeps a close look on the navigational array and flight course::
CNS_Ens_Numark says:
*Lenny*: Sure you can.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Keep us posted. ::turns to tactical:: CIV: Why are they still shooting at us?!?!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: Thank you Karri, please get that plasma flow back online as soon as possible.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::checks the sensors to see where the other ship is that should still be behind::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods and sits in his chair, squeezing the armrest really hard.::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::notices the red lights still flashing::

ACTION:  The attacking ship reappears and fires once again on the Scimitar and landing a hit then disappears again.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::checks the panels, trying to stabilize the shielding::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::runs a scan on the data collected from when the ship disappeared::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Not sure where they are Sir, it disappeared again. But one thing is sure that ship is very stealthy and very fast
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::lays in some evasive manoeuvres for impulse speeds::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Sir, might I suggest we take on the target we can see? Going closer to the other one and using it as shielding from the other one.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Starts to think about the little bit of tactical training he had back at the academy.:: CIV: Commander, can you identify a certain pattern in its attacks? Perhaps we can try and determine where it might reappear next.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Commander, should we try and hail them?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: I can't keep shields up forever if they keep attacking.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Rotate our shield frequencies and keep trying to hit that damn thing. ::turns to OPS:: OPS: Open a channel.

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  Sir, we've got more damage down here.  We just lost the SIF pod on the port side.

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  Repair crews are on the way.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::opens a channel and nods at the XO to indicate it is ready::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: We have 3 backups Ensign! Keep them online.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CMO: I can try to anticipate their trajectory, but it'll be very hit and miss, no pun intended

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  Aye Sir.  I'll do my best.

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::thinks to himself that he needs to know where the ships are, because otherwise he can't respond with evasive manoeuvres::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
COM: Attacking ship: Attacking vessel, this is Commander MacAllister of the Federation star ship Scimitar, Please cease firing and state your intentions!
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::begins to calculate trajectories and fires a few shots where he anticipates the enemy ship might be::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: Commander, we lost the portside SIF generator, backups took over. We have repair teams on it.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::looks at his console and back up at the XO and indicates with only motions that the message definitely went through::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
CEO: The portside SIF? Darn... how long can the backups hold? ::Starts to get slightly nervous.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: There are 3 backup generators Commander, it's extremely lucky they took out one, don't worry. They all have individual power generators.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods at the CEO:: CEO: Thank you lieutenant, keep us informed if we loose any other... parts.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CMO: I intend not to lose any more systems, sir.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::resends the transmission:: XO: No response, Sir
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: Status on warp, Ensign?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: No luck targeting them Sir

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  Warp drive is still offline.  I'm trying to get it back up, but, that last hit did a bit more damage than I thought.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Keep trying. ::turns to the engineering station:: CEO: Where are my engines?
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Leans over to the XO and repeats the question he posed the CIV.:: XO: Sir, perhaps we can try and calculate their trajectory and hopefully determine where they reappear next.

ACTION:  The Ship appears again and fires, taking out the Scimitar's weapons.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: We're working on it sir.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::almost falls over:: Self: Blimey....
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Weapons are down, trying to get them back online!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::holds on to his almost 180 degrees console::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::grabs onto his console as the ship shakes::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::watches the sparks fly and thinks "oooooo pretty":: CIV: What was that????
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: We just lost weapons, dammit ::slams his hand onto the console:: Self: Ouch
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::grabs the armrests of his chair again and almost feels sorry for them.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::reroutes power from personal replicators and all unnecessary systems to the weapons::

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  Khest!!

CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: We're getting picked apart
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: I need good news Ensign!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::had already diverted power but good thinking from the CEO::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Weapons?

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO*  Ummm, Sir, your not going to like this.........

ACTION:  Intruder alert sounds.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::shakes his head:: XO: Permission to get down there!
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
All: CRAP!
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::looks up and around on the bridge.:: XO: What's that?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hears the alarm and grabs a weapon from under his console::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::scans for the ambassador:: XO: I suggest we beam the ambassador directly to the bridge or a more secure area
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
All: Arm yourselves!
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
*Security*: Security teams repel borders!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Commander, I need to get down to Main Engineering.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::takes a phaser and rests it on the top of the console next to his PADD::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::uses internal sensors to find the intruders location::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Looks around as the intruder alert sounds go off.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: Ensign, I'm waiting on the bad news!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CIV: I'd start looking at the Ambassadors quarters if I were you
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Take Commander Esjam and a couple of phasers with you.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::looks over to the CEO, awaiting the message from the EO.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Yes sir. ::looks over to Esjam::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CEO: Lets go
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks over to the TL and steps in::

<EO_Spanner> :: whispering ::   *CEO*:  They came out of nowhere Sir, they have type 3 Federation phasers.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Self: Crap.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::enters TL, sets phaser for stun::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
Computer: Location of the Ambassador?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Sir, we have intruders in ME. We'll take care of it. ::looks at Esjam:: TL: Main Engineering.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Vector a security team to the ambassador's quarters NOW!
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CEO: No problem ::grins::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks at the XO and frowns.:: XO: Federation phasers? Is someone trying to sabotage our mission?

<Computer> OPS:  Ambassador Manautu is in engineering.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Aye Sir, permission to lead the team myself?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::self:: Engineering? XO: Ambassador is in engineering...
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: That's a chance I'm not willing to take.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::whispers::*EO*: Take cover...don't do anything heroic, I'm coming down there....try to take their focus off the entry way when I contact you again. Rome out.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::co-ordinates a security team to get to engineering on the double::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Erect a level 10 force field and a full dampening field round ME! No-one gets out!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::raises the force field immediately:: XO: It's done sir

<EO_Spanner> :: whispering ::   *CEO*  Aye Sir.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hopes she won't get hurt:: CIV: Let's do this right Commander, I have people in there I care about.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::taps his badge:: *CEO*: You might have trouble getting in Jonathan, we've sealed it off.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CEO: Don't worry, this is something I specialise in, for a change
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Gets up from his chair.:: XO: Err sir, locking them up in engineering doesn't sound like a good plan. If they are federation officers, they might possibly know how to go around our systems.'

ACTION:  The Force field goes up and then drops almost as fast as it went up.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::tries to get a transporter lock on the trapped officer::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::steps out of the TL:: *XO*: Commander, my people are in there..
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: The force field didn’t stay up! I'll try again!

<EO_Spanner>  *CEO* Sir, they just disappeared!!!  And they have the Ambassador!

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Sir...a tracker...we could put one on their ship before they get away
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::motions for Esjam to follow him silently down the hall, until his comm. goes off:: *EO*: We're coming! Notify the Bridge Ensign.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Doesn't look like it'll be a problem now, the field won't hold... you'll need to go in and get them but WAIT FOR SECURITY!
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
Self: Darn... I hate being right all the time. ::Frowns:: OPS: Lieutenant, can you get a lock onto where they beamed to?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::attempts to get a lock::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CEO: No time to wait for security, lets move in
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CIV: They're gone anyway. ::starts running::

ACTION:  The Ship disappears again.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*XO*: We have Engineering under our control again, but the intruders left..
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::follows the CEO::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::sighs::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::enters ME and sees the frightened looks on his staff, and looks around for Karri::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: FIND THAT SHIP!, run every scan you can think of but FIND it!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Sir, there might be a way to track them if they leave. If we could...::is interrupted by the console:: CMO: I can't get a lock, Sir. XO:...perhaps we could "mark" their hull...give us something directly to lock onto
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
All: Get back to work! We need warp drive now!

<EO_Spanner>  :: is kneeling down by one of the engineers who tried to be a hero ::  CEO:  Sir.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::continues his scans, diverts the power from the weapons to sensors::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::ready for laying in new course::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Feels his excitement leave again as the OPS mentioned he couldn't get a lock on the beam.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks over and sees Karri kneeling by a form on the ground:: Self: Oh no...*Sickbay*: Medical Emergency in Main Engineering!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::lowers his phaser and kneels by the form::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks for a pulse::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CEO: Is she okay?
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Hang on, is the other ships still there?

<EO_Spanner>  :: has dirt and grease and what looks like a phaser burn on the sleeve of her uniform ::  CEO:  I tried to push him out of the way Sir.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::checks sensors:: XO: Yes Sir
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks up at Karri:: EO: Get these people back to work.....::feels angry at himself for not being there::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Hears her call.:: *CEO*: Alright lieutenant Rome, I'll be right on it. ::Grabs a portable med kit and orders one of the MO's to follow her.:: Can you give us any information of injury?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::starts working on an idea to release an energy pulse in all directions which might act like a radar and show where the ship is::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: See if you can get a subspace tracker on it... it could be useful.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
OPS: Perhaps you can make use of the deflector array?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*Lenny*: Weak pulse, respiratory shallow....I think he's dying. I also have another patient with a phaser burn.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Where are we with warp engines?

<EO_Spanner>  CEO:  Aye Sir.   All:  You heard him,  get back to work!!!!!

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Aye Sir! ::sends the subspace tracker, happy he'd already been working on it::

<EO_Spanner>  CEO:  I'm fine Sir.  It's just a burn.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO: Yes, perhaps you could assist me and realign it by point 2 microns
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::takes his jacket off and puts it under the man's feet:: EO: You better be..
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
OPS: Accessing those systems now.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::while running:: *CEO*: Affirmative lieutenant. I have an extra medical officer with me, we'll be right there.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::doesn't reply::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
CEO: I'm heading back to the bridge ::runs for the TL::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO: Thank you ::speaks as he works:: XO: I've send a subspace tracker to try and latch onto their ship and I'm working on another idea with the FCO
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
TL: Bridge
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::realigns the deflector array:: OPS: Deflector realigned.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::bangs his console in success:: XO: Sir, we have a tracker on the second vessel
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::taps his badge:: *XO*: Rome to Commander MacAllister, I have one person down...Lenny is on her way, I'll stay here and get warp drive back up... Rome out.

ACTION:  Just as the tracker attaches to the second vessel, it disappears also.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO: Thank you! ::sets up the deflector array and fires a pulse::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::points to a young girl on his team:: CPO: Stay with him! ::points to the man on the ground. Then runs over to the core and starts scanning the breach in the plasma conduit::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::arrives back on the bridge and goes to tactical::

<EO_Spanner>  :: stands and heads over to attempt to get warp drive back up, stops and turns :: CEO:  I'm sorry Sir, I tried.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged Jonathan, we need to be quick about this, we're almost out of time. Bridge out.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: You're alive...so is he, you probably saved his life Karri...::hugs her quickly, then taps his badge:: *XO*: Don't need to tell me sir.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Arrives at ME with the MO and spots the CEO with the wounded officers.:: CEO: Who is the other injured?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::checks to see if the pulse worked or not::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::waves Lenny over and points to Karri, then walks away to check the repairs....time for pleasantries later::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Strauss: We need to replace that input valve. Get the parts.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Sir we lost the second vessel...good job we got a tracker on it
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Access the subspace sensor array and see if you can find where they're going.
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Orders her MO to work on the severely wounded officer and rushes to Karri herself.:: EO: Alright, this will just take a minute or so.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::shuts down all plasma flow to the deck and walks over to the supply cabinet and gets out an emergency suit and starts putting the gloves on only::

<EO_Spanner> Lenny:  It's just a slight burn, I'll be fine, really.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Aye Sir ::brings up the relevant data:: Sir, that pulse we sent just picked up their tachyon emissions also...
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
OPS: Can you provide me coordinates for a firing solution?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::sends the appropriate data to flight control and also to Tactical::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks over to the damaged valve and starts activating the release hatches to take the whole thing off, still extremely hot::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CIV: Done
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Just make sure to disable them not destroy them.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::receives the data:: XO: Conn ready for pursuit at full impulse,
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
<Lenny> ::Takes a good look at the EO's arm and begins to heal her. Occasionally she looks to her side how the MO is doing and looks satisfied as he looks able to stabilize the other wounded engineer.::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::places the steamy hot valve on the deck and gets the new one from Strauss:: Strauss: Be ready to starts plasma flow checks as soon as it's in place.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Make it SO.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Engaged at full impulse at pursuit. ::activates impulse engines::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Aye Sir ::fires a single shot at the coordinates supplied by  OPS::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::finishes final configuration to get a good reading from the subspace tracker::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::feels the fabric in his gloves starting to melt on the outside, but no time to wait for it to cool down::

ACTION:  The CIV finally hits something he targeted and the ship explodes.

CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks around, not sure how long he was standing there and sits down in his smaller chair again.::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::sees the explosion:: CIV: DAMMIT! I said if you were going to fire then DISABLE it!
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Easier said than done Sir, clearly
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Looks a little shocked at the XO's way of expressing towards the CIV.::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::wonders how good those coordinates were:: XO: Sir, if they were cloaked their shields would have been down and that would explain it
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: you'd better get down to sickbay in case we have more casualties.

<MO_Payne>  *CMO*  Sir, we have more casualties down here, we really need you Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::nods:: XO: Well, if you think we... ::hears the MO's message::  Hmmm... That’s my call. Let me know if you need me back up here when things develop.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CMO: Go, we'll call if we need you.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::puts the new valve in place and starts attaching it:: Strauss: Almost done...
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Now we have no way of tracking them Sir
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>::nods....smelling the burning foam in the CEO's gloves::
CMO_LtCmdr_Abmeraz says:
::Gets up, takes a look around and then heads for the TL:: TL: Sickbay, double time.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Extrapolate the course they were travelling and lay in an intercept course.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::sends out another pulse, hoping to pick up the tachyon emissions once again::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Find that other ship!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: I am on it Sir
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::nods to XO:: XO: Course laid in and engaged at full impulse
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
OPS: Feed me whatever coordinates you get. ::sets phaser power to 50%::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::brings the new part online:: Strauss: Now. ::steps back::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CIV: Naturally ::smiles, happy that the CIV managed to hit one despite the predicament it left::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: No more! Judging by the way that ship exploded one shot could destroy it! And then YOU can explain to Starfleet what happened to the ambassador!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
CIV: Sending coordinates now but we'd better be fast, their trail is fading
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::sends coordinates to TAC and Flight again::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Where are those engines?
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Do you want me to fire Sir, I can reduce phaser power to 25%, it shouldn't be enough to destroy them
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::makes course adjustments accordingly::

<Lenny>  EO:  That should do for now, when you can, come to sickbay for a more extensive treatment.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>::starts a level 3 diagnostic on the new part, then starts a plasma flow check::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Perhaps we should try to tractor them simultaneously
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*XO*: One moment sir!

<EO_Spanner> Lenny:  Thanks.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Are they in range?

<EO_Spanner> :: walks over and begins to help with repairs ::

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::gets out of his gloves and throws them away, then looks at the burn marks in his hands::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Lenny: Lenny!

<Lenny>  CEO:  Chief?  :: Rushes to him ::

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>::sees no faults in the diagnostic nor the plasma flow test:: CEO: Shall I fire her up?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::holds his hands out for Lenny to see:: Lenny: Need a hand here. ::grins::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Do it.

<Lenny>  :: shakes her head :: CEO:  You engineers and burns, her with phaser burns and you with plasma burns.  The two of you make a pair.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::smiles::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: They are in Long Range Sensors...but it's too far unless we can slow them down with a shot before they get out of range sir!
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS/CIV: NO SHOOTING!
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Sir, I have the firing solution, at reduced power
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: We have to act fast, I'm losing them
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>::starts firing the core back up slowly, since the CEO didn't let it cool down the restart time will be quick::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Sir, its our only choice, they are out of tractor range
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::feels a slight tingle in his hands as Lenny starts mending the burns::

<EO_Spanner> :: looks up with a triumphant smile :: CEO:  We have it Sir!  Warp drive is back on line!

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::prepares a tractor beam in case they get into range::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Unless you want to be relieved of duty I suggest you take your finger away from that button!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks over at Karri and Strauss:: EOs: Good job people, start a level 3 diagnostic as soon as she's hot.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::notices warp engines are back online:: XO: Speeding up to maximum warp available.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Aye , Sir

<Lenny>  CEO:  This will do for now, but like her, I expect you in sickbay as soon as you can for an extensive treatment.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO/XO: That might let us get into range...

<EO_Spanner> CEO:  Aye Sir.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Lenny: Understood.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::blinks:: FCO: Looks like I don't need to tell you twice today.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::smiles:: XO: No Sir, the circumstances tell me.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::sets engines to run at maximum capable warp and adjust accordingly when capable warp increases up to maximum of warp 8::

<EO_Spanner> CEO:  Level 3 diagnostic started.

CEO_Lt_Rome says:
<EO_Strauss>CEO: We're good.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::nods:: *Bridge*: Rome to Bridge, we are ready for warp! Take her up slowly.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Range to target?
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 3.5.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks at his hands, still a little red and sore:: EO: Karri....
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: And increasing..
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: We still need a little more...

<EO_Spanner> CEO:  Yes Jonathan

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 4.0
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 4.3.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: Work with Strauss, get weapons and shields back to maximum, I need to get back to the Bridge.....and no more accidents. ::smiles::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 4.5

<EO_Spanner> :: smiles :: CEO:  I'll do my best Sir.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Prepare an inverse tachyon pulse and see if you can disrupt their cloak as soon as we're in range.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 4.8.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
EO: I know you will....::smiles, then turns around and picks up his uniform jacket, that has a little blood stain on it now and puts it back on, then walks to the TL::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Aye Sir, I also have a tractor beam ready. ::works on preparing an inverse tachyon pulse::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 5.0
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
TL: Bridge.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: We're not fast enough. We are going to lose them unless we increase to full speed!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 5.5
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::tries to straighten his jacket::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
FCO: Any way you can safely get us faster any faster?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks out onto the Bridge and looks around::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Sir, we are loosing them
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
OPS: I set the computer to set the engines to run at maximum capable warp and to adjust accordingly when capable warp increases, up to a maximum of warp 8.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 6.0.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::hears the conversation:: Computer: Computer, deactivate security measure on warp threshold.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
All: I'll take the blame if we blow up.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::runs a calculation on his console and is relieved to see they might just make it on time. Turns to the CEO:: CEO: If we lose the ambassador we'll all take it, so I'd say this is a fair risk

<Computer>  CEO:  It is not advisable to deactivate warp threshold security.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Keep an eye on that range. ::turns to the Conn:: FCO: Faster Mr Gnav.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
Computer: Do it, authorization Rome-Gamma-Gamma-Eight.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO,OPS: Current warp speed: warp 6.8.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO,OPS: And increasing

<Computer>  CEO:  Acknowledged, authorization accepted, warp threshold security deactivated.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Range.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Warp 8.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Commander, we are cleared for maximum warp.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO/FCO: We need warp 7.8 to match speed before we can start gaining on them sir!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO,OPS,CEO: Our theoretically maximum speed would be warp 9.8, Sirs.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: And then with only a point two warp difference, this won't be a quick chase. I suggest a higher speed
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Keep us at warp 8.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::nods:: XO: Aye Sir.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::walks over to the XO:: XO: Commander, we can reach a higher speed now at a small risk, but I see no problem on the horizon. I needed to do a full shutdown, so that's why we needed to start up slowly. Our teams are working on weapons and shields now.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::hears the CEO and anticipates to go to warp 9.0::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO: Very well, but right now I need you to focus on keeping the engines running.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: That's all that's on my mind sir. ::tries to smile, but feels exhausted::
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::feels a little excited to pilot a vessel 464.43 meters long at warp 8.0::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: How's that range coming down?
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::sits down at his station and feels slightly nauseous from the plasma radiation, but knows it's not dangerous::

ACTION:  The Scimitar begins to gain on the unidentified ship.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: nearly there Sir..
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::crawls on the bridge through a JT after climbing out of the TL stands quietly and brushes her uniform down::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: As soon as we are in tractor range, fire the pulse and engage tractor beam.
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::notices some general bunch of emotions of relief engulfing the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
::spots the CO:: CO: Trouble with the lifts again?
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Ready and waiting...
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::prepares for speed alterations::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::nods quietly and walks to her chair:: XO: you know the Chief really needs to sort those lifts out
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks around and sees the CO:: CO: Captain....I had no idea....I was using one earlier, must be the car you were in.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: Range is 30,000 Km
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: I'll get him on it as soon as we get out of this particular mess. ::smiles and brushes some dust off the CO's shoulder:: You missed a spot.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::looks at the Chief:: CEO: Chief: you really need to get a team to specialise in TL at this rate… please get it sorted
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::fires the tractor beam and inverse tachyon pulse::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: So Mr MacAllister... what has been happening
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::adjusts speed accordingly not to get the ship torn apart::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
CO: Aye Captain...::makes note to scrap that particular TL car::

ACTION:  The inverse tachyon pulse causes the ship to become visible, but the tractor is still out of range.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Oh not much, just lost the Ambassador. ::tries to smile::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: I can see the ship! ::sends info to other consoles:: Tractor beam failed, we still need to gain on them
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::Spins and raises her Voice:: XO: you have what!!!!!!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Transferring power from all unnecessary systems to the tractor beam now.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::tries the tractor beam again::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::wishes he could dry dock any time soon::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Program a photon torpedo with an EM pulse and detonate it in front of the other ship.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::makes a mental note to get a new turbo car next stop::

<EO_Spanner> *CEO*  Sir, I don't know how much longer we can travel at this speed.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: I'll explain when we get it back, right now we need to stop that ship.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: Increase the coolant flow, 120% density should do it.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: You do realise this ship will only be able to take this speed for a short while .. What’s the distance

<EO_Spanner> *CEO*  Aye Sir.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Less than 30,000 km now, we're trying to get a tractor round it.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
XO: and I take it the AMB is on that ship
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: We have maybe....and that's maybe 10 more minutes until we need to drop back to warp 8, or even lower. We're still working with a patch on the core.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::fires the tractor beam, now the range is shorter::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: I certainly hope so, the other one kinda blew up.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
:: Looks horrified at the at her first officer :: XO: then I wont suggest trying to take the ships engines out before you take ours out!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::notices the ship is still on red alert::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::programs and fires the torpedo in front of the ship::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: Prepare to drop us out of warp.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Boost power to inertial dampeners!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
XO: Aye Sir. On your mark. ::hovers finger over button to drop out of warp::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Shields are ready at 95%, phaser array still offline, we have all torpedo bays standing by though.
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
CEO: Chief have a look at the shield frequencies see if there are any windows that can be used

ACTION:  The torpedo explodes in front of the other ship and it drops out of warp.

XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
FCO: NOW!
FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::pushes button and the ship drops out of warp::
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks at the scans::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
::targets the other ship::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Get a transporter lock on everyone on that ship and beam them to the cargo bay before they get power back!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
*EO*: Return coolant levels to normal, use this last run to see what more problems we have and get the core ready for more maximum warp.
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::prepares tractor beam as soon as they are in range:: XO: Ready with tractor beam
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
OPS: Do it!
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::fires tractor beam::
CO_Capt_Bolitho says:
::watches what is going on:: XO: so how do you plan on getting our Ambassador back then ::is intrigued::

ACTION:  The tractor locks onto the ship.

OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
XO: We finally got them
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: Tractor holding at full power. Transporters are at ready.
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CO: Well, I'm kinda hoping that if the ambassador is not among the prisoners then I can extract the information from them.
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::looks over at Esjam::
OPS_Lt_Idrani says:
::monitors the tractor beam::
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CEO/CIV: What, they're not here yet???
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: transporters locked on
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
XO: I'm just the tech guy!
CEO_Lt_Rome says:
::grins and turns back to his station::

ACTION:  The 12 life signs aboard the other ship are beamed to the cargo bay.

FCO_Ens_Gnav says:
::laughs for what the CEO says::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: All life signs beamed aboard
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Get on internal sensors and scan for Hermat life signs.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Scanning ::scans::
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Sir, I have detected three Hermat life signs!
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Separate them from the others and send a security team to both locations.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Aye Sir, transporting now ::transports:: *Security*: Secure the Hermats and prisoners in the brig
XO_Cmdr_MacAllister says:
CIV: Make sure the teams have their weapons on high stun and under orders to fire upon ANY hostile act.
CIV_Cmdr_Esjam says:
XO: Security teams deployed as ordered. Permission to supervise them directly

ACTION:  A few of the electrical systems on the other ship begin to come back up seemingly on their own.
