CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> CMO: Aye sir.

CSO_Vortak says:
Self:  Sigh.  ::watches as the sensors flicker::

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Captain, the sensors are flickering.  Not a good sign for our repairs.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Warp drive is online and ready at your disposition, sir.

FCO_Johnson says:
CO:  Sir, the warp drive just seemed to have a ......"hiccup."

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: I'd have to concur. OPS: Reroute power through non-essential systems; we need more power to the long range scanners.

CO: Unable to maintain warp 5 sir.

CTO_Ultsim says:
Ferengis:  Step right up.

OPS_Dain says:
*CEO* Best double check McFly's work..

CTO_Ultsim says:
::now!  opens fire::

CEO_Taylor says:
Mcfly: Missile control is not as important, get Warp back at full power, now!

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::engages evasive course again, heading back into the Nebula::

CSO_Vortak says:
CTO, CO:  I am not finding any weakness in their shields.

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::Strafes along the bottom of the saucer section going around the port side of the pylon ::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Continue evasive maneuvers. Account for their size and agility. Also factor in their previous attack strategies.

CEO_Taylor says:
*OPS* I just sent him...

Host Tim says:
ACTION: One Ferengi hit...its shields down to 87%

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: Still no response from the Ferengi ships?

LtJG_McFly says:
::hears the CEO and turns his head briefly:: Self: Come here, go there, turn left, turn right...

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  They are running back to the nebula again.

CEO_Taylor says:
McFly: Never mind, I'll do it, get the aft phasers online now...

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::thinks Gleep ::

FCO_Johnson says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::prepares the plots and engages maneuvers.::

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  One of the Ferengi ships is hit; their shields are down to 87%.

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf: Get out of there for a bit, Gorf...

CEO_Taylor says:
::goes to warp control::

OPS_Dain says:
CO: No response sir..  ::had them on continues redial::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: Take one ship at a time. Exploit that ship's weakness, and disable them. Then we'll be on a level playing field.

CEO_Taylor says:
::begins double checking::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::Rolls over the port nacelle and drops a smallish mine ::

CMO_OMallory says:
::checks over all systems in sickbay once more::

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::enters the nebula, and waits::

LtJG_McFly says:
CEO: All right, just remember that the program is running... nobody can realign the crystals in a second while the ship is moving. You can monitor the corrections, but unless they give us two minutes with the ship at standstill, it's gonna take five more minutes, sir. ::laced with venom::

CTO_Ultsim says:
FCO:  Mines!  Watch out!

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::Takes evasives to the nebula ::

LtJG_McFly says:
::exits ME and heads to the TL:: TL: Deck 16

CEO_Taylor says:
McFly: It looks like you were the one who were sloppy this time, warp has been misaligned, even you couldn't have missed that!

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: Their shields are failing. Is there any way we can exploit them? Use their agility and maneuverability against them?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Energy surges to some replicators.

CEO_Taylor says:
::notices that McFly is gone::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  Agility and maneuvers are generally a good thing...

OPS_Dain says:
::thinks.. push the mines back into their faces::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Grips the TAC station as he passes, moving to stand beside the SCI II station::

CEO_Taylor says:
*McFly* It looks like you were the one who were sloppy this time, warp has been misaligned, even you couldn't have missed that!

CSO_Vortak says:
::scans for other ships in the area, is suspicious::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::re-enters nebula and drops altitude ( relative)::

FCO_Johnson says:
::brings ship to dead stop::

FCO_Johnson says:
CO:  Sorry sir, mines.

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  We can try and leave some mines of our own and hope they run into them.

FCO_Johnson says:
CSO: Can you plot the minefield?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: I certainly hope we have some mines?

OPS_Dain says:
:;has a dandy time with power.. why is it the replicators always stop working.. stops all power to all of them but bridge medical and ME::

LtJG_McFly says:
*CEO* As I said, sir, hat the program is running... nobody can realign the crystals in a second while the ship is moving. You can monitor the corrections, but unless they give us two minutes with the ship at standstill, it's gonna take five more minutes. ::wonders if the guy is deaf or what, or perhaps just ignorant::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%COMM: Zork : I have repairs to make.

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf: Zork:  Best to sit back for awhile... see what they do next...

CSO_Vortak says:
FCO:  I can certainly try.  ::works on extrapolating the mine information and transfer data to FCO for maneuverability::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::gets busy with repair work ::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  We can just let some photon torpedoes float around.  Program them to detonate when something moves near them.

LtJG_McFly says:
::waits for the TL to take him to the right deck, and moves to the weapons targeting section::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: Replicator in McFly's quarters starts dripping liquids

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf:  Heh, the Hoomans....  can't handle a couple of Ferengi.  ::hopes they're picking up the comms::

CEO_Taylor says:
*McFly* You should have made the necessary adjustments before!

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Aloud:: Self: They're purposely antagonizing us... why? They must want to lure us into a trap.

OPS_Dain says:
CTO: That will be fine unless we move over them while maneuvering.

CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> CMO: Sir, all systems check out already.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: Do it. Adjust the torpedoes to maximum yield.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  A logical conclusion, sir.

CMO_OMallory says:
Press: I know...just my way of making sure Thomas, that's all.

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%COMM: Zork: I would love to have seen their face when I dumped the mines in front of their nacelle.

LtJG_McFly says:
*CEO* I would have if you had placed me in charge. But since you made it clear I was to obey Mr. MacLeod, and he is not responsive to my suggestions, there was little I could do without breaking the chain of command.

CSO_Vortak says:
::continues to map mines::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::drops ten torpedoes, spreading them out behind the Gryphon::

CEO_Taylor says:
*OPS/CO* Unless I get back to impulse, I can't get better than this, McFly's work was less than acceptable...

CTO_Ultsim says:
All:  Now if only they had some cloaking device.

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf:  ::giggling::  So would I, my friend, so would I...

FCO_Johnson says:
::transfers readings of the CSO's work to Helm and begins plot.::

CSO_Vortak says:
CTO:  I'm sorry?

CEO_Taylor says:
*McFly* You could have suggested it, like any good SF engineer...

OPS_Dain says:
::thinks the CEO needs to get his hands dirty::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CSO:  Well, wouldn't it be nice if they couldn't detect the mines?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Glances up from the SCI station, at Vortak:: CSO: There was no sign of unusual traffic prior to our arrival in this system? Have there been reports of other Ferengi ships as of late?

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf:  How are those repairs proceeding?

LtJG_McFly says:
::gets out his tricorder, mumbling about officers who won't let him do his job properly, won't do theirs either, and then will lay all the blame on him, when he is the one who pointed the mistakes at them::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%COMM: Zork: Almost done, I think.

CEO_Taylor says:
::he notices that he is alone in ME and begins to climb a ladder::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
ALL: At this point, it's best to fall back before we suffer another attack. FCO: What's our best possible warp velocity?

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::still waits to see what happens next::

LtJG_McFly says:
*CEO* You are saying I am responsible for my superior's lack of prevision, sir? If you didn’t' notice, I spent all my down time, after a heart attack, doing diagnostics. I came here to do a job, and I cannot say your staff has been cooperative.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: No sir.  I will check the database again to be certain, however.  ::Checks SF records for unusual traffic in this sector as well as Ferengi ship sightings::

OPS_Dain says:
::looks over at the FCO then back at her console::

CMO_OMallory says:
::watches Doc looking over everything:: <Press> CMO: I understand sir...

FCO_Johnson says:
CO:  Unknown, warp drive is acting strange with no way to predict warp speed.

LtJG_McFly says:
::takes off a panel and the piece of circuitry that malfunctioned, then searches in his tool case for the right spare::

CEO_Taylor says:
*McFly* This isn't a good time Jordan, give me a report on my desk at 700 hours tomorrow...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Theoretically, how long could a Ferengi Marauder-class ship last in the Owlston Nebula, barring the unknown?

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Back us away slowly, full impulse. Keep those evasive maneuvers ready.

LtJG_McFly says:
*CEO* You will get it "sir", as an addition to the PADD with the partial report I left in your hands not 20 minutes ago.

FCO_Johnson says:
::engages reverse impulse::  CO:  Aye.

OPS_Dain says:
::readies to shut down systems in favor of warp and shields.. ::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%COM: Zork: Repairs done as best I can... how are they doing?

CEO_Taylor says:
::gets in the crystal chamber (gets dirty) and begins realigning them::

CMO_OMallory says:
Press: Ensign, you have things down here.  I will be up on the Bridge.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Theoretically sir, it is impossible to estimate.  A minimum of two weeks, but if the Mages decide to befriend them it could be months!

CTO_Ultsim says:
::wonders if he could adjust the torpedoes to seek out the Ferengi ships::

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf:  Just sitting there, not doing anything....

CMO_OMallory says:
<Press> CMO: Aye sir.  I will call first sign of trouble.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::sets about repairing TAC console::

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf:  Shall we go in for another try at the sitting duck?

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%Zork: Sounds like they need more "temptation" ....

CEO_Taylor says:
*McFly* Good, now work fast and get back here...

CMO_OMallory says:
::exits sickbay for TL::  Bridge. ::feels lift begin to move::

OPS_Dain says:
::shudders at the thought of her friends left with Ferengis::

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* I need 4 minutes before warp is back to better rates...

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%COM: Zork: I have lead.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CSO: Then cross-reference all records going as far back as two months. Someone, somewhere had to have seen them coming and going.

LtJG_McFly says:
::finishes replacing the circuit, then double checks that the work will be flawless, barring the unknown... first diagnostic is a go::

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf:  Let's do it!  Lead on, Gorf!

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::Emerges from the lower areas of the nebula on a spiral course towards the Gryphon ::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Get us out of here, warp two. Increase slowly, however, I don't want any systems failures.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  They are on their way here again.

Ferengi_Zork says:
@:;powers up, and follows Gorf on a course back to the Gryphon, varying his patterns of approach::

OPS_Dain says:
::crosses fingers and pokes console::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: Now might be good time to lay down suppression fire.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* 2 minutes...

CMO_OMallory says:
::lift stops and exits onto Bridge.  Watches from the back::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
@::changes to a zig zag ::

CSO_Vortak says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::begins to cross-reference the database as instructed::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: Throw everything we've got at them. Make the explosions big and loud.

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::swerves suddenly to come in from the rear::

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  With pleasure.

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* One minute...

FCO_Johnson says:
CO:  Evasive ready at your command.

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::Skews and strafes the port side ::

CTO_Ultsim says:
self:  lets try something new

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Prepare warp velocity maneuvers. Engage.

LtJG_McFly says:

CSO_Vortak says:
::checks for damage to Ferengi vessels::

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::opens fire for one more strafing run, and then hightails it back to the Nebula::

Host CO_Wilkens says:
CTO: Detonate those mines.

CTO_Ultsim says:
::drops a high yield mine, and grabs it with a tractor beam::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::detonates the other mines::

CMO_OMallory says:
::observes action on the Bridge::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::Performs a drop in they Y axis and heads on a zig zag back to the Nebula ::

OPS_Dain says:
CTO: You have a mine trapped in the tractor beam.

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::maneuvers to avoid the explosions, nearing the nebula::

CEO_Taylor says:
::gets out of the chamber, all dirty:: Self: looks like I'll need a new uniform *CO* Warp is back online...

CTO_Ultsim says:
CO:  I have a mine in a tractor beam.  If they get close, I want to try and swing it around like a mace.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Increase velocity to warp four... five...

CTO_Ultsim says:
::suddenly realizes a fatal flaw::

CTO_Ultsim says:
::drops the mine::

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::enters into the nebula::

FCO_Johnson says:
::increases warp speed:: CO: Aye.

LtJG_McFly says:
::closes the panel, the diagnostic finished says things are all right:: *CEO* Inform the bridge that weapons are ready, sir, and to let me know if they break them again.

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%::enters the nebula::

CSO_Vortak says:
::scans entry to nebula for signs of a trap::

Ferengi_Zork says:
@COM: Gorf:  Looks like we'll have to claim the prize another day, my friend...

LtJG_McFly says:
::puts all tools back in their place, closes the toolkit and heads back to the corridor::

OPS_Dain says:
::looks at CTO like he is nuts::

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%COMM: Zork: they don't want to "play."

CEO_Taylor says:
*McFly* Good work and thank you...

CTO_Ultsim says:
OPS:  Don't worry, I saw the mistake.  I let it go.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: With Ferengi in nebula no ships show on scans

Host CO_Wilkens says:
::Regards the CTO with a critical eye but nods and takes a seat at the center chair::

CEO_Taylor says:
*CO* Phasers are back online...

LtJG_McFly says:

OPS_Dain says:
::smiles at him:: CTO Scared me for a second...

OPS_Dain says:
CO: Ships off of sensors sir.

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  Scans show no other vessels around. Nothing yet on the cross-referencing.

CTO_Ultsim says:
OPS:  Seemed like a good idea at first.

FCO_Johnson says:
CO:  With your permission, I am returning to a patrol pattern.

Ferengi_Zork says:
@::cackles to self:: We'll teach them next time, how to have some fun...

Ferengi_Gorf says:

Host Tim says:
ACTION: All systems show as normal...

Host CO_Wilkens says:
OPS: Put an all points bulletin on Ferengi Marauders matching their description. Inform the local authorities of what happened and strongly recommend that any ships passing through this area of space in the next 24 hours have an armed escort.

Ferengi_Gorf says:
%COMM: Zork: I wish they do and don't, they would lord it over us.

CEO_Taylor says:
Self: Finally, normal!

CSO_Vortak says:
CO:  All systems show normal.

Host CO_Wilkens says:
FCO: Of course.

OPS_Dain says:
FCO: MM no.. ::checks:: CSO: I did let ME know.. I am sure they are just busy.. want me to go have a look?
