MISSION ORDERS:

ACTD_Mark says:
The Scimitar is to remain docked at Starbase 339 and await further instructions from Starfleet Command.  With the loss of the Seleya, and the available information gathered to date, HQ is unsure how to act at present.  Orders will be forthcoming.

TOGuillen says:
::scans their weapons::

AXO_Reed says:
::wonders what he means by "inaction"::

ACO_Hart says:
*Thorn*  In what way dissatisfied? .... what has Starfleet done to upset you?

CSOFairda says:
<Thorn> *Hart* Your species was decimated by the Borg... Starfleet did nothing... except take in the survivors...

ACO_Hart says:
Counsellor:: Try to read his mind! ... he said your species ... does he mean jsut because I am El-Aurian?

CSOFairda says:
<Thorn> *Hart* Starfleet should have done something instead of standing by until the damage was done...

Coun_Ian says:
::nods head::

ACO_Hart says:
*Thorn*  To my grief ... yes ... but Starfleet rescued us and succoured us

AXO_Reed says:
::doesn't think those are the words of a Starfleet officer::

Coun_Ian says:
ACO: I can't read it

ACO_Hart says:
::puzzled by the telepath unable to read::

ACO_Hart says:
Fairday:: Could there be some sort of telepathic screen?

TOGuillen says:
ACO: Sir, the Storm hips can´t be scanned...

CSOFairda says:
<Thorn> *Hart* We feel Starfleet should have acted... too many have suffered because of Starfleet's reluctance to act...

ACO_Hart says:
*Thorn* And your solution is?

CSOFairda says:
<Thorn> *Hart* So here's your decision.... Join the Storm.. or Suffer.

CSOFairda says:
Hart: Negative... no readings that would indicate that.

ACO_Hart says:
*Thorn* I have suffered .... now you say we should make more suffering?

ACEORegin says:

ACEORegin says:
::gets a full damage report::

AXO_Reed says:
FCO:  What is our current course and speed?

FCO_Kurok says:
AXO: Warp 7 away from Starbase

Coun_Ian says:

OPSBishop says:
ACO: Aye Sir. ::sends logs::

ACO_Hart says:
FCO:: We get our revenge later

FCO_Kurok says:
ACO: Captain it will take 3 hours to stop the ship without impulse engines

ACO_Hart says:

ACO_Hart says:
FCO:: Then make sure we do not hit anything before we can stop

OPSBishop says:
ACO:Aye Sir. ::begins bringing systems on-line::

FCO_Kurok says:
ACO: I'll do my best considering the shape we are in.

AXO_Reed says:
TAC:  What is our weapon status?

Host CSOFairda says:
Holland:  Don't remind me...

DrHolland says:
*Nurse Tok* Do we have more casualties?

OPSBishop says:
::even after all that, that tune is still in his head::

Host CSOFairda says:
BROADBAND SUBSPACE TRANSMISSION FROM STARBASE 339:  <Captain David Thorn> This is Captain David Thorn,, Leader of the Storm.  We have captured Starbase 339 and the U.S.S. Seleya.  We will continue our fight until Starfleet stops cowering behind diplomats and regulations and takes a decisive stand against its enemies.

ACO_Hart says:
All on bridge:: That was a close call .... as soon as we can ... I vow they will not go unpunished

ACEORegin says:
::realizes that there was more damage to the impulse engines than he thought...  can't have them up for nearly half an hour::

DrHolland says:
<Nurse Tok> *Dr* Just two, sir.

ACO_Hart says:
::sits back and trusts her crew to do things right::

AXO_Reed says:
CSO:  Are you okay, Fairday?

FCO_Kurok says:
ACO: Sensors indicate that the path ahead is clear may I go to engineering and help out?

Host CSOFairda says:
BBST:  We are all Starfleet Officers who have stood by and witnessed numerous atrocities because Headquarters refused to act.  The Occupation of Bajor, The Massacre at Setlik III, the Maquis, and now the Current War with the Dominion.  We need to show force.  All of these events have occurred because of Starfleet's weaknesses and reluctance to act.

Host CSOFairda says:
BBST: It has forgotten its founding principles, to defend and explore.

ACO_Hart says:
OPS:: You are recording that .... send it to the Admirals .... I guess it is their problem until we get into shape again

ACO_Hart says:
All:: But the Prime Directive still applies ... whatever these crazies think

Host CSOFairda says:
BBST:  We will continue until Starfleet and the Federation change their policy regarding the use of force.  We will not stop, and those who stand in our way will fall.

OPSBishop says:
ACO: Yes Sir ::recording data:

Host CSOFairda says:
BBST: The Storm is now upon you.

FCO_Kurok says:
ALl: Big words from such cowards!

ACO_Hart says:
Counsellor:: From what you saw of the two captains ..... did they match their Starfleet profiles?  Could they have been taken over?

Host CSOFairda says:
Reed: Just a headache.... ::groans about the current state of affairs and the headache::

Coun_Ian says:
XO: it is possible

AXO_Reed says:
CSO:  Do you feel up to going back to work, or do you need rest?

ACO_Hart says:
Counsellor:: You could not read them .... I find that surprising

Host CSOFairda says:
Hart: I served under Paxton... that's her, sir.

ACO_Hart says:
Fairday:: It may have looked and sounded like her ... but was it really her?

Coun_Ian says:
::looks down:: XO: I'm sorry...I failed you there

ACO_Hart says:
Ian:: No ... that is valuable data .... we need to work on it

ACEORegin says:
*ACO*: Engineering to Bridge.  I've got a full damage report, if you want it

Coun_Ian says:
::looks up ans smiles faintly::

ACO_Hart says:
*Engineering* Pass it to the AXO ... he is more qualified in that area

Host CSOFairda says:
Hart: That was her sir... She's not someone you can readily duplicate..and plus her right eyebrow wiggled when she said surrender... it always did that.

ACO_Hart says:
Fairday:: But if  something had got into her mind?   Ian could not read her ... and she is a first rate telepath

AXO_Reed says:
CSO:  Can you run a scan to see if there are any Storm ships nearby?

FCO_Kurok says:
