Host Tim says:
Last episode, Gryphon was following the trail of the attacking ships.  The trail led to the Owlston nebula, which is approximately 3 days from SB 78 at warp 9

Host Tim says:
The Gryphon had rescued an old "friend', a Ferengi named Pez.

Host Tim says:
The Gryphon is about 4 hours from the nebula

CTO_Ultsim says:
::already has a theory::

CEO_Taylor says:
<Kint> CEO: Aye... *CSO* CEO Taylor ordered me to come to your quarters for repairs on your console, I believe...

XO_Loren says:
CO: May I bring you some coffee?

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO: you look like a man with a theory...

CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> *CMO* Sir, all still quiet, medically, on the bridge.

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: no thanks Loren, I think I have had enough. ::smile::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  Yes, I believe I might know why we fired on the Ferengi vessel.

CSO_Vortak says:
::picks up Xena, sets him down on the bed:: Xena: Got to go, Z.

XO_Loren says:
::nods and resumes reading intelligence reports::

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: Stand down Red Alert.. lets relax for a moment before we get to the Nebula.

CMO_OMallory says:
*Press* Thank you Ensign.  Please stay on alert.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: Continue... ::looks at him:: I would like to know your theory.

CSO_Vortak says:
::hears Comm::  *Kint*  Yes, thank you.  I am about to go on duty, but you have permission to enter.  Just don't let the cat out...

CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> *CMO* Aye sir...

XO_Loren says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  ::gives appropriate orders::

CEO_Taylor says:
<Kint>*CSO* Very well, good day ma'am...

Host CO_Spencer says:
::glad klaxons went off::  XO: Thank you.. :;moves to Tactical::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  Well, TO K'tral had suggested that the attackers' shields had deflected our phasers into the Ferengi ship.

CMO_OMallory says:
*CSO* O'Mallory to Vortak.

XO_Loren says:
*CEO* Status of engines, Engineer?

CSO_Vortak says:
::heads out doors and goes to TL::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  But I believe that simple deflection would be too random, and the chances of a deflected beam actually hitting something are quite small.

CSO_Vortak says:
*CMO* Vortak here.

CMO_OMallory says:
*CSO* How are those ribs feeling?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: That sounds correct.. when I was at Tactical it was one of the things that would occur during a battle.. remember that and watch out for it..

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Captain, if we enter this nebula, our systems will have trouble, I suggest against it...

CEO_Taylor says:
*XO* Fine for now, Commander.

CSO_Vortak says:
*CMO* Still a wee bit sore.  You aren't going to make me stay any longer in my quarters are you? ::pleading voice::

CNS_Cook says:
XO:   Sir, did we ever get a scan on Pez's cargo.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: But to play it safe we need to test the weapons to make sure they are aligned.

CMO_OMallory says:
*CSO* No, but take it a bit easy on duty, alright?

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  So I believe that, somehow, their ship might have acted as a relay point, absorbing our weapons and 're-firing' them at the Ferengi.

XO_Loren says:
CNS: No. Scans were blocked.

CSO_Vortak says:
TL: Bridge.  *CMO* Absolutely.  And thank you.

TO_KTral says:
CTO: One other theory what if they have tech. that allows them to make our targeting sensors think they are targeting the right vessel when in reality they are targeting another completely different vessel.

XO_Loren says:
CO, CNS: Pez is refusing to talk.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: A good theory.. ::moves to the main part of the bridge::

CMO_OMallory says:
*CSO* Good luck and...be careful.  O'Mallory out.

XO_Loren says:
CO,CNS: He is being completely silent.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Captain, do you copy?

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: Where is Mr. Pez at now?

CSO_Vortak says:
::ascends to the bridge, doors open and she walks through::  CO:  Captain. ::nods:: XO: Commander.  ::nods to him::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* Sorry.. I was talking repeat please.

CNS_Cook says:
XO:  Who has tried speaking with him so far?

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Captain, if we enter this nebula, our systems will have trouble, I suggest against it...

CNS_Cook says:
CSO:  Glad to see you up and about.

XO_Loren says:
CO: He is in the brig.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::nods at the CSO::

CTO_Ultsim says:
TO: Will you help me check the weapons alignment?

CSO_Vortak says:
:;nods to Cook:: CNS:  Thank you.  Me too.  Definitely.

CMO_OMallory says:
::goes to replicator::  Coffee, black...::takes cup back to his desk::

XO_Loren says:
::nods to CSO:: Q'eranna, it is good to have you back.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* Suggestion noted.. we will continue.. do your best.

CMO_OMallory says:
::goes to replicator::  Coffee, black...::takes cup back to his desk::

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  Thank you, Commander.

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: In the brig for what?

CSO_Vortak says:
::sits down at SCI1, knocking a PADD on to the floor::

TO_KTral says:
::Starts realigning the weapons system::

CSO_Vortak says:
::taps at console for sensor readings::

XO_Loren says:
CO: Because that is where your TO officer assigned him, Captain.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: Captain, that ion trail is really degrading.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: During the last attack was there anything strange happening to our sensors?

XO_Loren says:
CNS: The CO.

CMO_OMallory says:
::looks over latest reports from MED teams::

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Ma’am, be advise, in this nebula, shields, sensors, engines, structural integrity, all of those things will go below 50% efficiency...

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: Please have the TAC give me a complete report.. did we find out yet what is in the cargo he held?

CSO_Vortak says:
::bends down to pick up PADD, grimaces at the residual pain::

XO_Loren says:
CO: No, Ma'am, we did not.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: We have to keep it, :;moves to her:: CSO: We can not lose it now *CEO* We need more steam to the engines.

XO_Loren says:
*TAC* Please prepare a full report on Pez for the Captain and bring it to the bridge.

CSO_Vortak says:
TO:  I am afraid I don't know.  I was in sickbay the whole time.  Please ask SO Roddenberry to give you that information.

XO_Loren says:
<TAC> *XO* Aye, sir.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: I am trying, Ma'am. ::continues to work on reconstructing the trail from the data.::

Host CO_Spencer says:
:looks at Loren:: XO: Who do we have working on the problem?
*CEO* I am aware of the difficulties in entering a Nebula.. deal with it.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* I can't give you much with taking from other primary systems... ::Transfers power:: *CO*  That's the best I can do...

CMO_OMallory says:
::sips coffee::

TO_KTral says:
XO: It appears the boxes are too heavily shielded. We could open them by force if need be.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Yes ma'am, This ship will hold on, you can count on that!

Host CO_Spencer says:
:;nods at the FCO who shows a thumbs up with the more power:: *CEO* Thank you.

CEO_Taylor says:
<Kint> ::Arrives at CSO's quarter's, enters and sees Xena trying to get out but catches her:: Xena: Oh, no you don't ::smiles, enters and begins her work::

TO_KTral says:
SO: Did you notice anything strange happening to our sensors during the last attack?

XO_Loren says:
TO: Noted.

CSO_Vortak says:
::still working at the console::  CO: Captain, the ion trail looks different now from its original signature. ::looks somewhat confused::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::stands there her arms crossed, satisfied everyone is doing their best. But still it is stressful:: CSO: Different how?

CMO_OMallory says:
::responds to MED teams reporting in as scheduled::

TO_KTral says:
CTO: Alignment completed. Systems functioning at 100% at least until we go into a nebula.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: It is similar to a Federation signature, but it is not authentic.

CEO_Taylor says:
<Kint> ::finishes with her work *CSO* Your console is as good as new, lieutenant...

XO_Loren says:
CO: I am uncertain as to which problem you are referring, Ma'am.  Security is working on the problem of Pez not talking.  The science and engineering departments are working on the problem of navigating the Nebula.

CTO_Ultsim says:
TO:  Thank you.  Now we just have to find away to keep them working. ::smiles::

CSO_Vortak says:
*Kint* Thank you for your hard work.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: In what way? ::curiosity takes her to the science station, she leans in over the console looking at the report::

Host Tim says:
Action: Targeting scanners begin to degrade.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Could they be laying a false trail for us?

XO_Loren says:
CO: As is Dr. McMurdo, who is being engaged in quiet study of it now.

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: Pez and his cargo.. are we trying to find out what is in it yet?

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  The targeting scanners are failing...

XO_Loren says:
CO: TO K'tral suggests prying it open forcibly.

CTO_Ultsim says:
TO:  Come take a look at this.

CNS_Cook says:
CSO:  I am showing a degrading in the targeting scanners are you getting the same?

TO_KTral says:
CTO: On my way.

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: And we are not able to scan it? No, prying open that .. it is not a good idea..

XO_Loren says:
CO: Scanners are not working on it.  That may be the only way.  But, I agree it should be a last course.

CMO_OMallory says:
::rubs his eyes as an headache sets in::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Those ships were destroyed.. or so reported. Look. ::points at the console::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::trying to figure out what happened to the targeting systems::  CSO:  Any idea what’s going on?

CEO_Taylor says:
<Kint> ::gets back in ME::

CMO_OMallory says:
::looks in his desk drawer for aspirin::

TO_KTral says:
CTO: I am running scans to try to find out why..

CTO_Ultsim says:
TO:  We're probably just too close to the nebula.

CSO_Vortak says:
CTO:  No, I'm sorry I don't yet.

CMO_OMallory says:
Self:  Still nothing better.  ::opens bottle and pops 2 tablets::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks meaningful at CSO::

TO_KTral says:
CTO: Scans indicate that we are on the edge of a nebula.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Gryphon is now at edge of the Owlston nebula

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Since, we are taking the ship into the nebula, I suggest that I come to the bridge, I'll be able to give you what you'll need much quicker, Chief Kint has everything under control here...

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  We are trying to find an answer, ma'am.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Do we have the ships’ trail still?

CNS_Cook says:
::begins scanning for other ships in the area::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* Yes, of course.

TO_KTral says:
CTO: If we run into trouble we will have to target manually.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Our scans are being blocked, Captain.

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Yes, we do.

CTO_Ultsim says:
TO:  Well, that could be expected.

CSO_Vortak says:
::getting frustrated with the console, clears her mind and focuses::

CEO_Taylor says:
Kint: You have ME, Chief...  ::gets in TL::

XO_Loren says:
CO: Yes, we still have the ion trail.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: What is your feeling.. I think they are in here. :;looks at the viewer that is displaying the Nebula::

XO_Loren says:
::gives course to FCO::

CEO_Taylor says:
CPU: Bridge.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Take us in... slow.. drop to impulse.
<FCO> CO: Yes ma'am.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: Thank you.  SO:  I am detecting that the signatures belong to Orion syndicate pirates.

CEO_Taylor says:
::arrives on the bridge, Taylor takes ENG station A:: CPU: Reroute ENG controls to ENG-A.

CEO_Taylor says:
<CPU>CEO: Acknowledged.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::scanning for other ships as best as the sensors will allow::

CO_Revenge says:
@::Detects A federation ship::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Well isn't that a surprise.. wonder what Pez will have to say to this.. I am thinking he was ratted out of some cargo by his own friends.

CSO_Vortak says:
::continues to compensate for scanning malfunctions::

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  You may be right.

CMO_OMallory says:
::finishes with MED team reports::

CNS_Cook says:
CTO:  I am not getting anything how about you?

XO_Loren says:
CO: Intelligence reports for activity of the Orion syndicate in this area show they are quite active.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::moves to her seat and sits, watching the Nebula surround the ship::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CNS:  I can tell you that there’s a nebula out there, and that’s pretty much it.

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: Well maybe we can curtail some of their activity. :;smiles::

Host Pez says:
::Yells his head off:: Anyone out there? Let me out of here.

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO: Lieutenant, can you please tell me what is wrong with these scanners?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: We are in a nebula, lieutenant, that's what's wrong. ::smiles::

CO_Revenge says:
@ Thinks: A Federation ship what a prize.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at the CEO before he warns her with an I told you look:: CSO: Do your best.. narrow the scanning beams.

XO_Loren says:
<TAC> Pez: Well, so you are talking now, eh?

Host Pez says:
Tac: You have no reason to hold me.

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Good point.  I am sorry, all that time in my quarters makes me feel less sharp than usual.

TO_KTral says:
CSO: Aren't we flying blind into this nebula. The view screen should be out.

CEO_Taylor says:
::looks back at CO with "The look" and smiles::

XO_Loren says:
<TAC> Pez: That's true.

Host Pez says:
Tac: Where's my cargo?

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Aye, ma'am.  ::narrows the scanning beams::

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: No problem, Lieutenant, we all could you a little rest ::smiles::

XO_Loren says:
<TAC> *CO* Pez is starting to talk and wants out, Ma'am.

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO: Any help you can give me on boosting them would be helpful.  Not that you don't already have your hands full.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CMO* Doc, would you care to join us on the bridge.. ::thinking he may be needed::

TO_KTral says:
Pez: It has been confiscated for the time being.

CMO_OMallory says:
*CO* Aye..on my way.

Host CO_Spencer says:
TO: Will you go down and bring up Pez please.

XO_Loren says:
<TAC > Pez: I am checking with Captain Spencer.

CMO_OMallory says:
::grabs med kit and exits SB for TL::  Bridge

TO_KTral says:
::enters TL headed for brig::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  Is it wise to have a..guest on the bridge at a time like this?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: Believe me, I'd wish the conditions were better, but you'll have to do with what you have...

CO_Revenge says:
@ FCO: Make a run at them and put us safely back in the nebula.

Host Pez says:
::Glares at the security officer and crosses arms::

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Well, thank you anyway.  ::continues to work with what she is got::

XO_Loren says:
CO: Yellow alert yet, Ma'am?

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: A guest no..

CMO_OMallory says:
::gets off TL, sees Press::  Press: I will take it from here.  Report back to SB.

CO_Revenge says:
@<FCO> CO: Aye Sir.

CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> CMO: Aye sir ::exits Bridge::

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: Yes Yellow will be fine.. CSO: Any luck with those scans?

TO_KTral says:
::Secures Pez and heads backup to Bridge::

CMO_OMallory says:
CO: You called for me?

XO_Loren says:
All Hands: Yellow alert.

CEO_Taylor says:
CTO,CO,XO: I have boosted the shields back up to 57%, that's all I can do for now...

CO_Revenge says:
@ <FCO> ::begins run at the ship and then peels off toward the nebula::

TO_KTral says:
::enters bridge with Pez secured::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CMO: Have a seat Please Loren: Into my ready Room as soon as Pez is here..

CMO_OMallory says:
::watches action on the Bridge::

XO_Loren says:
CEO: Thank you, Engineer.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: No, Captain, not yet.  The readings are still... wait.  Faintly I am picking up a ship.  The Revenge.

CSO_Vortak says:
Self:  Nice name.

CTO_Ultsim says:
CEO:  It'll have to do.  Thanks.

TO_KTral says:
CO: Prisoner is on the bridge any further orders?

CMO_OMallory says:
::sits::  CO: Aye...

Host Pez says:
Action: All ship systems are degrading

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns to SO: CSO: the Revenge.. ? :;Looks to the Viewer:: Can we get it on screen?

XO_Loren says:
::escorts Pez to Ready Room::

CNS_Cook says:
CO: Ship systems are degrading.

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: All righty, now for your sensors... ::begins to work and taps on the console as if you would do fast forward on a vcr::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::watches as weapons slowly fail::

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: We have found your friends.. Would you like to join them now?

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: Maybe a fuzzy picture.  Computer: Onscreen.  CO: We will see what happens.

CNS_Cook says:
CEO:  Would the Nebula have this kind of effect on the ship?

TO_KTral says:
XO: Am I with you?

Host Pez says:
::Looks at Spencer:: CO: What friends?

Host CO_Spencer says:
PEZ: The ones that you say stole your cargo.. Or is it you stole it from them..?

CEO_Taylor says:
CNS: Undoubtedly, counselor, this nebula is worse than a Jem Hadar ship!

XO_Loren says:
CO: Suggest we go to Red Alert. Revenge is one of the ships listed in the intelligence reports.

XO_Loren says:
::is back on the bridge with the prisoner in tow::

Host Pez says:
CO:  ::Huffy:: I steal from no one.

CNS_Cook says:
CEO:  If our ship is being effect does that mean the Revenge is probably having the same problems.

CSO_Vortak says:
::the viewscreen shows pretty much nothing but snow and a blob in the middle:: CO: Captain, I'm sorry.  Sensor readings are the most I can do at this time, I guess.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: Fine.. 
TO: Take him back
XO: We can let the Pirates know he is here and see what all this is about..

CMO_OMallory says:
::gets up and watches from the command area::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Thank you.

CO_Revenge says:
@ <FCO> FCO: Keep harassing their ship. I want them to follow us.

Host Pez says:
::Panic stricken:: CO: Wait.

CEO_Taylor says:
CNS: That's another no brainer, all ships are affected by nebulas... Don't worry, they're probably in a bad shape too...

XO_Loren says:
CO: Acknowledged, Captain.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::trying to slow the degrading of the tactical systems::

CNS_Cook says:
::chills runs up my back as Pez talks, and I begin to think of my father and what he must of felt when he died at the hands of the these beast::

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: Yes? ::looks at him::

TO_KTral says:
::Grabs Pez and escorts him back to the brig::

CEO_Taylor says:

CO_Revenge says:
@<FCO> CO: Aye sir. ::puts the Revenge in the Gryphon's path as a tempting target::

CSO_Vortak says:
CEO:  Thank you.  That should help some, I hope.

Host Pez says:
CO: What is it you want to know?

CSO_Vortak says:
::tries scans again::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: All stop.
<FCO> CO: At holding sir.

CTO_Ultsim says:

Host Pez says:
CO: There was a misunderstanding.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: What kind of a trade? :;stern look::

TO_KTral says:
::Appears back on the bridge with Pez::

CEO_Taylor says:
CNS: Can you spare a little power?

XO_Loren says:
C MO: You can probably return to sick bay, if you are needed there, Doc.

Host Pez says:
CO: ::Stutters, stammers and looks away:: Uh, Yamock sauce?

Host CO_Spencer says:
Pez: And it went sour.. Yamock Sauce??

Host Pez says:
::Looks at TO who is glaring at him::

CNS_Cook says:
CEO:  Working on it.  ::begins taking sub systems off line to give the CEO a little extra power::  There see what that does.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Move us out of the Nebula 1/4 impulse and hold once we clear the interference.

Host Pez says:
::Shrugs:: CO: Well.... maybe some other things.

Host CO_Spencer says:

CEO_Taylor says:
<Kint> *EO* Ensign, get out of bed, we need you in ME!

XO_Loren says:
CO: Unknown.  Estimate is in 10 minutes.

CO_Revenge says:

XO_Loren says:
CIV: Our task now is help restore warp drive, wouldn't you say?

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: Warp drive is offline!

CTO_Ultsim says:
Revenge:  So you wanna play like that, huh?

CO_Revenge says:
@<FCO> CO: Aye sir.

CSOVortak says:
::feels jolt and pain in her side::

CMO_OMallory says:
::feels hit::

TO_KTral says:
::heads to brig::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: We have 10 minutes.... is there anything nearby closer we can use for cover?

CIV_Ian says:
XO: I will assist the engineers, if you desire... headed for ME.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::returns fire with a full spread of torpedoes::

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Checking, sir.  ::scans for any cover... asteroids... anything::

Host Tim says:
Action: IPS is only 64%.

EO_MacLeod says:
::enters ME:: CEO: Sorry!!!  I'm here...  I had some problems with my watch...

XO_Loren says:
::grabs medkit and treats Doc and CSO::

CIV_Ian says:
:;enters TL and heads to ME::

CNS_Cook says:
::begins taking more sub systems off line to increase power to the impulse engines and the shields.::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::holds on to the back of the FCO's chair to steady herself:: FCO: Find a path out of here.

TO_KTral says:
::grabs phaser rifle out of weapons locker in brig and has a seat to make sure the prisoner does not escape::

CO_Revenge says:
@ FCO: Find them. Do whatever it takes.

CIV_Ian says:
::Enters ME::

XO_Loren says:
::moves to assist FCO::

Host Tim says:
Action: Eddies within the nebula pull the Gryphon in deeper.

EO_MacLeod says:
::watches CIV arriving::

Host CO_Spencer says:
<FCO> CO: We are being dragged in ma'am!

CIV_Ian says:
CEO: Do you require any assistance?

CO_Revenge says:
@<FCO> CO: Aye sir.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::sweeps the target area with phaser fire::

CSO_Vortak says:
XO: I'm okay, just a little sore.

CEO_Taylor says:
Self: I told her "don't get in the nebula!" but what does she do hmmmm, let's get the ship in the nebula anyways, CEO sure can take more work than he already got! Captains! A CEO's greatest nemesis!

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Ride it out.. stop fighting it..

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Neither ship can get a lock on the other.

CMO_OMallory says:
XO: I am also alright...thanks though.

CSO_Vortak says:
~~~CEO: You are lucky the Captain is not telepathic~~~

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Anything?  
CTO: Make sure we have everything ready.. they pulled us in here it was a set up.

XO_Loren says:
CMO, CSO: Glad to hear it, Doc and Q'eranna.

CNS_Cook says:
~~~~CSO, CEO otherwise you may be in trouble~~~~

CSO_Vortak says:
::CO: Nothing so far.  ::continues to look for cover::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: With the reduced IDF, all bounce around.

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  Should we prepare to be boarded?

CEO_Taylor says:
~~~CSO,XO: If she were, I wouldn't have said that! Well, that'll teach me to think!~~~ ::smiles::

CIV_Ian says:
:;since the CEO doesn't seem to be paying attention Ian heads over to the warp propulsion control panel::

TO_KTral says:
*CTO* We need to get out of here.  Recommend we play a little cat and mouse.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns on him:: CTO Boarded??!! Not with my last breath.. FCO: Get us maneuvered out of here !

EO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Do you need any assistance?

XO_Loren says:
::looks for asteroid, advises CSO to help fire control lock with sensors.::

CO_Revenge says:
@ FCO: Closer I want point blank range if necessary.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: I'm afraid there is nothing, Captain.  No where to take cover.

CEO_Taylor says:
::Looks at CIV:: Don't worry, doctor, I've got it under control!

CIV_Ian says:
:;runs a quick diagnostic on the WPS and sees that the power coupling to the port nacelle is burnt out::

CSO_Vortak says:
XO:  SO Roddenberry is working with EO Kint on that, sir.

CO_Revenge says:
@<FCO> CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Turn and halt.. !

CTO_Ultsim says:
*TO* We’re already on it.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CTO: Prepare weapons.. !

XO_Loren says:
CSO: Good.

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  Way ahead of you.

CMO_OMallory says:
::watches and waits for injuries::

Host CO_Spencer says:
<FCO> CO: Aye! All stop Sir.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: These sensors are no help, I simply can't find anything.

EO_MacLeod says:
::heads to CEO:: CEO: What's going on?

XO_Loren says:
::TAC guards prisoner in case power goes down::

CIV_Ian says:
EO: The port nacelle power coupling appears to be damaged...  perhaps it should be repaired in order to restore warp capability?  CEO: If you do not require assistance I will return to the bridge.

CO_Revenge says:
@FCO: Set course to our other ships in the nebula. We might need help.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Then we wait.. they will come.. ::takes a breath and looks at Loren:: XO: Coffee.. after its over. ::trys to smile::

CEO_Taylor says:
EO: Ensign? What are you doing here? Get to ME and fix the warp engines!

CTO_Ultsim says:
::keeping enemy in the cross hairs::

CO_Revenge says:
@ <FCO> CO: Aye sir.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ::Pez realizes just how much this trade may cost him::

XO_Loren says:
CO: Yes, Captain - fresh from the arboretum.

EO_MacLeod says:
CIV: Don't worry, Dr. I'll take care of that right now.

CIV_Ian says:
EO: Ok.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::winks at Loren:: CSO: Anything on scans.. ?

CIV_Ian says:
::walks over to the SIF and IDF system controls::

TO_KTral says:
Pez: My phaser rifle is on its highest stun setting and if that does not do the job my dagger will.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: Nothing.  ::frustrated::

XO_Loren says:
CO: Nothing but static.

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Be prepared.. we may only have a few seconds when we have them before they know they have us.. ::taps her hand on a console::

Host Tim says:
<PEZ> ::Sticks out his tongue at TO::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CEO:  Ok, if you can't do anything more with shields, can you put more power into the weapons?  If we hit them, I want to hit them hard.

EO_MacLeod says:
::hits Comm badge:: *CEO* I'm going to take a look on port nacelle...  Report you when ready.

CIV_Ian says:
::reroutes power to the SIF and  IDF generators, bypassing several damaged sections of the distribution system::

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Yes, ma'am.  ::has constant scan set to alert her at the slightest change::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* I need the warp engines back ASAP, we could need to make a retreat, even though we are in a nebula...

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: And now we wait.

CNS_Cook says:
CO:  After this is over could we talk about your tapping habit it makes me nervous. ::smiles and looks at her hand::

CO_Revenge says:
@TO: Contact our brethren and have them assist us. There is plenty of booty.

XO_Loren says:
::nods to CO, looks reassuringly at her::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: One SIF generator burns up

CIV_Ian says:
::checks to make sure he has his phaser...  ::

CEO_Taylor says:
CTO: Believe me, weapons are my top priority...

EO_MacLeod says:
::starts diagnostics of the nacelle::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CNS: Yes when it is over.. taps it once more to see if he will flinch::

CNS_Cook says:
CIV:  We just lost a SIF generator.

XO_Loren says:
CO: Shall I order hands to take hand phasers in case we are boarded, Captain?

CMO_OMallory says:
*MED* All teams be ready on full alert.

CO_Revenge says:
@ <TO> CO: Aye sir. ::contacts other ships and tells them::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns to CNS:: Do you have anything you could be doing besides giving us bad news ? :;tries to smile::

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* Sorry, Chief, the warp drive is hard down...  I'll see what I can do...

CIV_Ian says:
:;sees the SIF generator go down, brings one of the back-up generators on-line to replace it::

CSO_Vortak says:
*SO* Keep working on those weapon sensors.

CNS_Cook says:
CO:  Well I could sing a song but that is just more bad news because I can not sing.  ::smiles::

Host CO_Spencer says:
:;frowns at the XO::

CEO_Taylor says:
*EO* You need my assistance, ensign?

EO_MacLeod says:
::continues the diagnostics::

CIV_Ian says:
:;Tesla wanders in, having finally tracked Ian down::

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* If you are able to come here, yes.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* May we try and depart the Nebula again.. ?

CIV_Ian says:
Tesla: Go over to the third panel on the left and pull the red isolinear chip on the lower right...  replace it with this one. ::hands Tesla a chip::

CEO_Taylor says:
::in TL: *CO* Not at warp you can't, warp is down for an hour, at least!

Host CO_Spencer says:
::sighs:: XO: Yes side arms.. I… ::fills like she just jinxed the ship by giving that order::

Host Tim says:
Action: Gryphon moves like a barge

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  Orders?  Plans?

CIV_Ian says:
:;Tesla goes over and pulls the correct chip and replaces it with the one Ian gave him::

XO_Loren says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  ::gives appropriate orders::

EO_MacLeod says:
*CEO* We have the nacelle down... I think I'll have to disassemble it...

CSO_Vortak says:
::takes issued phaser and puts it in holster::

Host CO_Spencer says:
*CEO* Alright no warp.. but do we have enough power to withstand the resistance of the pulling in of the Nebula?

XO_Loren says:
CO: Captain, just a precaution.  Your ship will be fine.

CMO_OMallory says:
::waits and sees what is next::

CEO_Taylor says:
::arrives at EO's position:: EO: We need a quick fix, not a full repair ensign... let me see...

CNS_Cook says:
::sits and waits, taking up the captain’s habit of tapping and then catches him self.  Looks around to see who saw him::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::hand phaser is attached to the bottom of tactical console::

EO_MacLeod says:
::picks his tool kit, and opens::

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Stand by...

Host CO_Spencer says:
:;looks at CNS:: CNS: See?  ::smiles::

XO_Loren says:
~~~~CNS: Perhaps if you could project positive thoughts.~~~

EO_MacLeod says:
EO: See?  No power at all...

CNS_Cook says:
CO:  See what?  ::smiles back::

CEO_Taylor says:
*Kint* Do we have enough power to get out of the nebula?

CSO_Vortak says:
*SO* I want a report as soon as those scans reveal anything new.  Understood?

Host Tim says:
