CMO: very well

CO_Ian says:
self: my aren't we touchy.

MO_Maor says:
::exit the CMO office::

CTO_Bucha says:
CO: I'm detecting a great power surge from the Opeongo.

CEO_McLir says:
*EO* not now, get the shields up

Host James says:
Action:  Throughout the ship, all crew members can hear an eery voice murmur:  "You must submit."

Himself: so i'm not going crazy... yet ::locks sensors on the Opeongo::

Ops_Ander says:
McD: Then, you know that Commander Hacq-Tun is really...

CTO_Bucha says:
ALL: we're caught in a tractor beam!

CEO_McLir says:
CO: suggest we back off

CEO_McLir says:
ALL: ack,

XO_Wnters says:

XO: good idea we still have weapons, I hope. 

Ops_Ander says:
McD: Well, sir...if you don't mind my saying so, you're remarkably calm given the circumstances.

CEO_McLir says:
CO/FCO: be prepared to cut engines, that tractor beam might pull us apart.

MO_Maor says:
::finishing the CMO assignment::

CTO_Bucha says:
::a bead of sweat drips from Cole's brow::

Ops_Ander says:
<FCO_Sturek>XO: Aye, sir. ::listens for McLir's word::

CEO_McLir says:
CTO: can you aim the deflector dish toward its tractor beam emmiter?

CTO_Bucha says:
XO: The beam's power increases as we try to resist it.

XO_Wnters says:
CEO: If the engines can't handle the strain you can send orders directly to the FCO

CTO_Bucha says:
ALL: The Opeongo is showing another energy surge!

CTO_Bucha says:
::continues scans::
Bandra says:
CTO: then mabye we should help it?

CEO_McLir says:
FCO/CO: set a course at right angles to the beam!
