::brings up the damage reports::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::notifies the cargo personnel to prepare a cargo shuttle::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CSO: Thank You. XO: Yes, I didn't know who he was either. Perhaps a new officer who forgot his papers. Never mind, it seems we have bigger issues to address
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: when the chirrup sounds she bangs her head :; Self:  Dammit!  :: rub her head and taps her com badge :: *CEO* Almost finished here Sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
*EO*: Good work, let me know as soon as you have any results. Rome out.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::watches all the activity::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods:: OPS: Very well. ::Looks over the bridge again.::
EO Ens Spanner says:
*CEO* Aye Sir.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, Only 3 life signs remaining
CEO Lt Rome says:
::opens the comm. line to the Bridge:: *Bridge*: Bridge, this is Engineering. We are finishing repairs on the transporter systems. We should know in a matter of minutes if we can break through the radiation.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::hears the CSO:: XO: Are you still here Zoran?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*CEO*: Good work Chief, keep us informed. ::Turns his head.:: CO: Yes.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: finishes up the repair and puts the plate back in place :; *CEO*  Sir, repair complete.  We can give it a try.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::access transporter controls in case they'll be needed::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*EO*: Wonderful.
CEO Lt Rome says:
*OPS*: Rome to Idrani.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*CEO*: Go ahead
CEO Lt Rome says:
*OPS*: Repairs on the transporters are finished, see what you can do.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
XO: I could have sworn I told you to get down there.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*CEO*: I'm already on it, thank you
Lt Niles says:
::walks on deck 7::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Smiles:: CO: I was just... never mind. ::Gets up.:: *Lenny*: Lenny, since the CMO is busy at the moment, I want you to report to the shuttle bay on the double. ::Nods towards the CO and leaves.::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::reads through the reports coming in::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::receives a message the cargo shuttle is ready to fly::
Lenny says:
*XO* On my way.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*Lt Niles*: Lieutenant Niles Report to the bridge
CEO Lt Rome says:
::takes a sip from his now cold coffee:: *CSO*: Rome to Commander Pierce.
Lt Niles says:
::taps his COM badge, still walking:: *OPS*: Aye, on my way. ::turns around and enters the nearest TL::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::Quickly finds his way to the shuttle bay.::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks up from his console after making some minor adjustments:: *CEO*: Go ahead Lieutenant
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*Niles*: Make it quick
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::leaves his console and follows the XO:: XO: Sir, I'll be with you. The shuttle is readied already.
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CSO*: Sir, repairs are under way on the damaged systems, but we need to find a way to counteract the radiation to prevent further damage.
Lt Niles says:
::in TL:: Computer: Bridge.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
FCO: Good, let's wait for Lenny, she's coming along instead of the CMO.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Can you monitor the away team's vital signs?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::nods::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CEO*: I agree. My department is trying to counter the effects by modifying the shields. The fact that we're now behind the planet shields us somewhat. We could see if getting closer to the planet helps us even more. CO: Aye sir
Lt Niles says:
::exits the TL::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks if transporters will work through the radiation now and monitors the comm. link::
Lenny says:
:; enters the shuttle bay with a med kit and tricorder ::  XO:  Ready when you are Sir.  :: smiles ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Do so, I want a record of their vitals from the moment they leave to the moment they get back.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Walks to science2 and makes the adjustments necessary to monitor the vitals of the away team::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CSO*: Sir, I still have the programming for the metaphasic shields we installed when we ran into those subspace weapons.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::nods towards the FCO and Lenny.:: Lenny/FCO: Great, let's get on our way. ::Gestures for the two to enter the shuttle first as he taps his COM badge.:: *CO*: Sir, we're to depart any second.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::enters the shuttle and takes his seat at the conn::
Lenny says:
:: steps into the shuttle and takes a seat ::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*CEO*: Transporters look good. CO: Sir, the transporters are ready for use once again
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*XO*: Acknowledged, Cleared for immediate departure... and no forest fires this time.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*CEO*: Good idea, we could see if that gives us some protection. We're juggling resources here so if you could do that I would be glad
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CSO*: Aye sir.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
*CO*: I'll pass that information along to the FCO. ::chuckles:: I believe he is a little more qualified to pilot this thing than I am.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: About time, see if you can keep a constant lock on the away team, also keep a comm. channel open.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Only thing is that I can't get a lock on any bio signs
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Rome to Captain MacAllister.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Aye Sir on the Comm. Link, keeping a transporter lock might prove tricky
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*Science Dept*: Pierce here, What's the status on the probe deployment scheme?
Lt Niles says:
::walks over to the OPS:: OPS: You asked for me?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Then make it a wide beam on their position, adjust it manually if you need to but keep them locked.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: Yes, you are new here? CO: Aye Sir, ::makes the necessary adjustments::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
::buckles up.:: FCO: Let's take her out lieutenant.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::starts running test on the radiation levels::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::sends shuttle launch clearance to the right places::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Go ahead Jonathan.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: enters main engineering, rubbing her head ::
Lt Niles says:
OPS: No Sir, I've been serving on the Scimitar for about 2 years now.
Science Dept says:
*CSO*: Sir, we're ready to upload the data to 5 probes
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Sir, with your permissions I would like to install the metaphasic shields we tried back when we had those problems with the Orion ships. It should give us a much better protection against the radiation.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::notices Karri and gives her a smile and waves her over::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::on his way to the bridge::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
XO: Aye Sir. *OPS*: Cargo Shuttle Haydn to Bridge, requesting permission to launch.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: Not in my department
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*FCO*: Permission already granted. Godspeed.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Have you managed to compensate for the power consumption?
Lt Niles says:
OPS: That's true, I've been in Flight Control before.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: smiles and walks over to Jonathan :: CEO:  What's up?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::enters the bridge and heads for his tactical station::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: I wasn’t informed of your transfer. Do you have your papers?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
*OPS*: Commencing launch procedure. XO: Here we go.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::winks at her before speaking to the Captain:: *CO*: No sir, we haven't had to use them since...but I can probably try to lower it a bit. Are you expecting a fire fight?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, the science department has come up with a deployment scheme of probes that - we hope - gives us some better sensor coverage
Lt Niles says:
OPS: You should have received that information already. It's also in my personnel record. ::accesses console::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
::takes the shuttle out::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Around here I always expect a fire fight... but if they will help against the ambient radiation then fine... just be ready to reroute power in a hurry if we need to get out of here.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
FCO: Make it a smooth ride lieutenant. I had a hard time explaining the forest fires last time.
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Yes sir, I can switch over to normal shielding in under half a minute if we need to.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Do it... I don't want any surprises.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::nods even though he knows Rome can't see:: *CEO*: Fair enough.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: I understand...I think I'll put you in charge of notifying me in person next time my staff increases
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Yes sir, I'll get right on it.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: No guarantees though sir. In this part of space it's hard to predict what will happen. *Science Dept*: You are cleared to ready the probes. Give me a sign when you are ready
Science Dept says:
*CSO*: Will do sir. We expect to be ready in 5
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::grins:: XO: You always should leave flying shuttles in the capable hands of the ones who are trained in flying shuttles, Sir. And I'll try not to ignite anything, except for the engines.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: At the moment, anything's better than nothing.
Lt Niles says:
OPS: If you want me to do that it's alright with me.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Tries to smile.:: FCO: Well, best teach me sometime then... I could use the practice.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::logs onto his console and reviews the recent sweeps from the region::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns around and whistles:: Engineering Staff: Everyone! Listen up! We have a job to do. Bring up the schematics on the metaphasic shielding we used a few weeks ago, we need the programming reviewed and the extra components installed! Group A, do the math...Group B, get me the components.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: I'll arrange some flight courses for you, Sir. ::smiles:: XO: We're approaching the planet.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: Now then, what's this business of you ordering another stock check while I was down in the computer core?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to Karri:: EO: That's you honey, bring up the programming and reconfigure it for the radiation levels, contact Commander Pierce for the data. ::smiles::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Braces himself.:: FCO: Alright... thanks... err... take her in.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:; winks and smiles :: CEO: Aye Sir, I'll get right on it.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::keeps monitoring the away team status and the open comm. link, making a minor adjustment wondering how to get over the radiation problem::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::waves one of the new crewmen to bring him a cup of coffee, then brings up the power consumption readouts::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: How's the team getting on?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: Aye Sir. ::notices the XO brace himself, but refrains from making loops with the shuttle::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at Science2:: CO: So far, so good sir. No problems detected at the moment
Lenny says:
@ :: reaches over and pats Zoran's hand ::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::monitors the shuttle as well:: CO: They should be approaching the planet now, Sir
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::looks up from his scan results and turns to the CO::  CO: Captain, recent sensor information shows no sign of any Cardassian vessels in the region... yet.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::Accepts the coffee cup from the new intern and hands him a repair schedule for the trouble, then starts going over the power levels....wondering how he could shake a few MW's off the shield consumption::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Good.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS/CSO: Keep a close eye on them you two.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Smiles quite nervously at Lenny.::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::nods acknowledgement at the CO::
EO Strauss says:
::walks over to Rome:: CEO: Sir, we have the extra power couplings and monofilament connections. ::hands him a PADD with the list::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::looks at Niles for an answer::
Science Dept says:
*CSO*: Sir, the probes are ready to be launched
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*Science Dept*: Launch the probes and deploy them in the specified pattern. ::Looks at Science2:: CO: Sir, The heart rate of the XO is up a bit. Nothing dangerous yet, but still
EO Ens Spanner says:
CEO:  It's going to take another 15 minutes or so to reconfigure this.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::taps a few commands into his chair console::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns around:: Strauss: Good job buddy, I knew I could place you on command of the second group. ::smiles:: Start by re-routing the power through the secondary relays, then install the new pathway and make sure it's conducting properly.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns to Karri:: EO: You have full authority to finish it, don't wait for me. When you have it, make it happen.
Lt Niles says:
OPS: Better to check important things twice than not to have a complete stock, Sir.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::lands the shuttle after an easy flight::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: I understand your eagerness, but next time run it by me first. It had already been done twice and it's not like we were going to turn around had we forgotten some Gherkins
EO Strauss says:
CEO: Thank you sir. We'll get started immediately, most of the staff remember it from last time, so it should be done by the time the calculations come on. ::nods to Spanner::

ACTION:  The CTO gets an alert on his console.

XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::sighs:: FCO: Good job... lieutenant.
CEO Lt Rome says:
Strauss: Wunderbar Mr. Strauss, get to it.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::glances at his console and looks up at the CO::  CO: Captain, sensors are detecting a Cardassian vessel on an intercept course....
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::directs his sensors to the incoming Cardassian vessel::
Lt Niles says:
OPS: I'll better not ask why that wasn't logged then.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Red alert. Charge weapons and mask their signatures.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: Of course it was logged. Maybe it was with your transfer details
Lt Niles says:
::sighs:: OPS: Perhaps I'll run a complete check on the computer and storage systems.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Contact the shuttle and advise them to stay at the colony until further notice, they'll have to deal with things there for the time being.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sees the red lights flashing:: Self: Bloody hell.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: You're welcome Sir.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
Niles: You'd better get back to your duties ::indicates he means because of alert status:: and yes, we'll do that next time we dock somewhere. Thank you
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::taps his COM badge:: *Shuttle*: Scimitar to the Away Team
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks over at Lenny.:: Lenny: Lenny, did you see if the planet is safe to walk on, or we might have to get our EVA suits on again?
Lt Niles says:
::nods and heads for his station on another deck::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at the CO::  CO: Aye, Sir...  ::taps the big red button and charges the phaser and photon torpedoes, but brings them to half power to avoid detection::
CEO Lt Rome says:
Engineering Staff: Alright people, you see that! I want those shields installed pronto and without complications should our lovely Captain wish to use the current shields. ::smiles:: Let's hope this is just a drill.
Lenny says:
@ XO:  It's M class.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
*Scimitar*: Gnav here, go ahead.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: Captain, further analysis shows the incoming vessel is a Keldon class cruiser... they seem to be serious...
CEO Lt Rome says:
*Bridge*: Engineering to Bridge, what's going on up there Cap'n ?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*FCO*: We've got company up here. Captain MacAllister advises you remain on the colony for the time being.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@*OPS*: We'll do, but keep us informed. ::nods to the XO::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::turns to face the FCO:: FCO: Say what?!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Hail the Cardassian vessel.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::must be important since the Bridge doesn't respond to him::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::wonders why he gave the hailing order to the CSO but doesn’t mind with talking to the Shuttle::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: The Scimitar got some visitors and advised us to stay down here, Sir.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: We've got company Jonathan, stand by.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Opens hailing frequencies:: COMM: Vessel: Approaching vessel, this is the USS Scimitar of the UFP. State your intentions
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@FCO: Did they say who these 'visitors' are?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: Negative sir, but I can try to establish a link with the Scimitar.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::turns around:: Spanner: Spanner, estimated time?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*FCO*: Will try my best, I don't think the Cardassians will make it easy.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: Sir, Cardassians it is.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@*OPS*: Acknowledged, we'll try to find out what happened here.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Range.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*FCO*: Understood, Scimitar out.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::growls a little.:: Lenny/FCO: Let's get off this shuttle. If they know that we are in orbit of the planet, they might start scanning this place. I don't want to be in this shuttle if they do.
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: ETA is 5 minutes, Captain...
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::nods to the XO::
Lenny says:
@ :: follows the XO ::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: How much power is left for engines with the Metaphasic shields up?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks power flow to battle systems and checks on the away team life signs, makes a small adjustment because of radiation::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::sees Karri busy at her console, too busy to respond::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::grabs a tricorder::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: No response from the Cardassians Sir ::nods at the CSO::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Sir, from my estimates, we can run the sub-lights at .75 c max. And warp 7 should be our top speed.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: looks up:: CEO: 3 more minutes
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods to Karri, then looks over at Strauss::
CEO Lt Rome says:
Strauss: You about finished there?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Will impulse be affected?
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks around as he meets only dirt and rocks.:: Lenny: Lenny: I want you to start scanning for life signs. ::Turns around.:: FCO: Find out if we can find any information on the colony, location, type of buildings, that sort of things.
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Like I said sir, .75c will be the maximum impulse speed.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
*CEO*: It'll have to do.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: Aye Sir. I suggest keeping an open COM link. ::opens the tricorder and starts scanning::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
Duty FCO: Stand by for evasive manoeuvres.
EO Ens Spanner says:
:: finishes in 1 and a half minutes, looks up :: CEO:  Done.   Any good engineer pads the estimate.  :: grins ::
Lenny says:
@ XO:  Aye.  :: begins to scan ::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods and grins:: Spanner: That's what I like to hear!
Duty FCO says:
::puts up evasive manoeuvres:: CO: Ready sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
Strauss: Mr. Strauss!
CO Capt MacAllister says:
Duty FCO: Standby by to engage on my mark.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Nods back at OPS and turns to his console, looking at ways to improve their chances in this confrontation:: 
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::nods as both the officers start to scan and grabs his own tricorder, walking a few steps up a small little rock. It gives him a better look of the area.:: Self: What in Rutia's name has happened here.
EO Strauss says:
CEO: Done sir. ::activates the new relays:: We are ready to switch over, estimated time 25 seconds between shifts.
Duty FCO says:
::nods and hovers hand above the controls::

ACTION: The Cardassian vessel comes to a stop.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: What's the status of their weapons?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the sensor:: CO: There's a power spike sir!
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::glances at the sensor readings coming from the Cardassian vessel::

@ACTION:  A group of 3 Cardassians materialize on the planet.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tries to determine from which system there is a power spike::
CEO Lt Rome says:
*CO*: Rome to Captain MacAllister! We're ready down here sir, switching over to metaphasic takes 25 seconds though. Same for back to normal shields.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, 3 Cardassians were just beamed planet side!
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::frowns::  CO: Captain... it appears that the Cardassians have lowered their shields....  their weapons are powered to maximum however... I recommend the AT takes cover out down there...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*XO*: Scimitar to Commander Abmeraz
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::tricorder beeps:: XO: Sir, and we've got company too, Sir. Three Cardassians.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@:Hears something and turns around as he just saw the blue shimmer fade, exposing a couple of Cardassians.:: All: To arms! We have visitors. ::Grabs his phaser.::

ACTION: A phaser blast lances out from the Scimitar and hits the Cardassian vessel.

OPS Lt Idrani says:
*XO*: Be on the lookout for three Cardassians...we detected them beaming in not too far from you
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Hail the......... what the hell?!?!?!
CEO Lt Rome says:
::hears a familiar hum:: Self: Great, we're fighting now.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks in amazement:: All: Who fired? 
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CTO: I'm on it ::hails the Cardassians again::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::grabs phaser::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::grunts:: *OPS*: We've got them in sight here, standby.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at his console and starts a speed search to find out from where the order was given to fire the phasers::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::blinks as he sees a phaser burst come from the weapons array::  Self: Darn it...who?  CO: Someone fired the weapons array without authorisation...
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::checks power distribution for the phaser array to see if any was used::

ACTION:  The Cardassian vessel begins to tear apart.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Find out who, how, why and find out now!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Sir, maybe we can beam some of those people over!
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Structural integrity for the Cardassian vessel is failing!
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::grumbles and runs an analysis on the weapons access panel to determine who fired the weapons array, checking the security logs::  Self: This is not happening...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Aims at the Cardassians and looks for Lenny from corner of his eyes.:: Cardassians: HALT! What is your purpose here?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
*OPS*: Give me power to the transporters ::Tries to lock on the any life signs he detects on the Cardassian vessel::
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::keeps an aim on one of the Cardassians::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::tries to lock onto as many people as he can from the command section of the Cardassian vessel and diverts power for the CSO:: CSO: Let me know what you have in mind
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO: Scan for survivors!
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks around:: Engineering Staff: Alright, prep damage teams. Stand by to raise and maintain metaphasic shielding! I'll be on the Bridge.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, permission to try and beam as many as we can aboard our ship. We can beam them to cargo bay 1. We can put a containment field around it. ::Scans the vessel for survivors::
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods to Karri:: EO: Keep my engine room in one piece.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: I agree with the CSO, Sir, I already have power available
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CSO/OPS: Do it... I'd rather not have another war on my hands.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::waits for the Cardassians to answer to the XO's question::
CCO Farak says:
@ :: pulls his phaser :: XO:  You are my prisoners.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Initiates a transport on all life signs he can get a lock on::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::raises a highest level force field around cargo bay 2:: CSO: Ready... CTO: Sir… Please can you get some security down to Cargo Bay 2?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: Captain... logs indicate that the command to fire the weapons came from my console....  ::sighs::  I'm not sure how that is possible...  ::glances at the CSO::  CSO: I'll sent you the security logs for the tactical bridges consoles.... can you determine if they are authentic..?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Nods at the CTO:: CTO: I while as soon as things settle down
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@:Tries to take cover.:: Cardassians: Your prisoners? ::tries not to laugh.:: The USS Scimitar is in orbit. The three of you have no chance of getting out of here alive. Surrender your weapons now... and you might live.
EO Ens Spanner says:
CEO:  Aye Sir.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::steps into the TL and givers her smile:: TL: Bridge.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Sir, the three bio signs seem to be very close to the away team..
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods at OPS::  OPS: No problem...  ::taps his COM badge::  *Johnson*: Lieutenant... get security team beta to cargo bay 2 on the double...we have some guests beaming in... be cautious...
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Adjusts some parameters to get the best transporter beam possible::
CCO Farak says:
@ :: Laughs ::  XO: I think we have all the leverage we need.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::nods a thank you to the CTO::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
*XO*: Scimitar to Abmeraz, how's it going down there?
TO Johnson says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.... Security Team Beta is moving to cargo bay 2 now....

@ACTION:  The other 2 Cardassians sneak up on the XO/FCO/Lenny with weapons pointed at them.

CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: I want a full report on the shooting backed up with sensor and console logs as soon as we get out of this mess.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Tries to nod to the FCO as to indicate he is going to fire after his last warning.:: Farak: Last chance, surrender your weapons now, or we are forced to open fire!
CEO Lt Rome says:
::steps out onto the Bridge:: All: I heard we're having fun. ::walks to his station and brings it online::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the picture on the ground:: *XO*: Sir, beware you have 3 guests down there, very close to you
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
::nods::  CO: Aye, Sir... speaks for itself...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: There's not much we can do about that from up here, have you informed them?
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::turns around to keep an eye on all Cardassians, although not easy and gets his eyes crossed looking he can track two of them:: Cardassians: Hold it there!
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Yes but I’m not getting a response...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Send a security team to the cargo bay.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::quickly taps his badge to open the COM link::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::initiates the transport after the CSO's final modifications:: CO: Looks like we have 8 guests, hopefully they'll be from the command section. We couldn't get any more
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: Sir, we could try and get the 3 from the surface as well
CEO Lt Rome says:
::looks over at Jon:: CSO: Sir... what's going on?
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: Security team is already on their way, Sir...
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Notices the other 2 Cardassians and lowers his weapon.:: FCO: Err.... Lieutenant... lower your weapon. ::Eyes Farak.::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Then we can only assume that the Commander knows what he's doing. ::turns to Pierce:: CSO: How are the team's life signs?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Sir, I can't get a transporter lock, even with a wide beam and some modifications, it's the radiation
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: Sir?
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: Well, we have 3 Cardassians planet side, 8 in our cargo bays and about... ::checks the schematics:: ..300 that just died
CEO Lt Rome says:
::stands up and walks over to OPS:: OPS: Let me see.
CCO Farak says:
@ :: Laughs ::  XO: Now, since your ship fired on ours, I claim your ship.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: Sir! I have a lock on the Cardassians! Permission to beam them to Cargo Bay 2?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::leans over OPS's shoulder and starts tapping away at his console::
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Raises his tone of voice.:: FCO: DO it lieutenant!
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Checks Science2:: CO: They're pumped but alive sir
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Just a second, Lieutenant
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::lowers his phaser still knowing he opened the COM link to the Scimitar::
CO Capt MacAllister says:
::nods:: OPS: Do it if you can.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::accesses the right controls and beams the Cardassians on the planet to Cargo Bay 2::
CEO Lt Rome says:
OPS: There. Good boy.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::growls at the CEO::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CO: I'll review the sensor and security logs to see how it's possible that we fired on them

ACTION:  The 3 Cardassians on the planet are transferred to cargo bay 2

OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: We've got them Sir! *XO*: Scimitar to Abmeraz, how's the view?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::walks back over to CSO:: CSO: Sorry sir, so we're having fun today?
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CEO: Now, please help yourself ::twitches an antennae::
TO Johnson says:
::arrives at cargo bay 2 and nods to his team to take standard positions::  *CTO*: Commander, we've taken position in cargo bay 2... it seems our guests have safely arrived...
CO Capt MacAllister says:
CTO: Issue a general order to your security staff... if any of the Cardassians try to escape, shoot to kill.
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Sighs:: *OPS*: Clear now. Thanks for the help. ::looks around.:: Other than that, there is nothing down here. Nothing that shows any kind of civilization... not even recent.
CEO Lt Rome says:
::ignores the annoying little Andorian::
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::looks up at the CO:: CO: Kill?! *XO*: Understood, lets keep this Comm. link open.
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@::puts away his phaser and reopens his tricorder::
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
::Looks at the CEO with a raised eyebrow:: CEO: Well, personally I saw too many deaths already so I can't say I’m jumping for joy here. Especially since no one seems to have fired. And yet there was a weapon discharge
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: What?
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Yes, kill... you got a problem with that Idrani?
CEO Lt Rome says:
::takes a look at his readings::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
*Johnson*: Understood... good work... we'll tend to them in time...  ::nods at the CO::  CO: Aye, Captain....  security officers have confirmed that our guests have arrived....
XO LtCmdr Abmeraz says:
@::Looks at the FCO and Lenny.:: Lenny/FCO: Carry on with your scans, but be careful and stay close.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
CO: With respect Sir, Yes I do, but I won't challenge your decision
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: I could use your help in reviewing the logs. Somehow a weapon was fired and it destroyed the Cardassian vessel. But no one here pushed a button
FCO LtJG Gnav says:
@XO: Aye Sir. ::continues his scan::
CEO Lt Rome says:
CSO: What console? If someone used it, there should be a residual impact registered in the second layer. Records any buttons pressed.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::thinks again:: CO: Sir, I don't think it's appropriate...they wouldn't even be here if we hadn't destroyed their ship - accident or not.
CSO LtCmdr Pierce says:
CEO: The CTO's console. Can you check there, I’ll start on the logs
CEO Lt Rome says:
::nods::
CTO LtCmdr Jarot says:
CO: Captain... I'm reading some residual energy coming from the space around the planet again...  I'm feeding it to the tactical processors to see if they can make something out of this.
CO Capt MacAllister says:
OPS: Your objection is noted Lieutenant.
OPS Lt Idrani says:
::twitches an antennae and respectfully nods::
