U.S.S. Gryphon  NCC-42101
Mission Transcript
Stardate 9912.05

Host Blanca says:  MISSION ORDERS: The information returned from the command crew of the USS Titan has indicated that there may indeed be a way to penetrate the Bellicose Alien shielding. By dropping the Phaser Harmonics to well below the standard operating range, and by amplifying the beam strength through the Impulse Engines, it may be possible to breach the shields at these lower frequencies while not sacrificing power.
The USS Gryphon, accompanied by the New Orleans Class Frigate USS Inuit, is to proceed to the Damocles Weapons Testing Range and proceed with live-fire testing of your modified Phaser Arrays.  Should these tests prove fruitful then we may yet be able to halt the advance of the Bellicose Aliens. The Inuit is to observe and to conduct in-depth sensor readings of the Gryphon during these tests.

Host Blanca says:  <<<<<<<<<BEGIN GRYPHON MISSION>>>>>>>>>

Host COspencer says:  ::on the bridge anticipating what will await them at the Damocles Weapons Testing Range ::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::Really, really PO'd because he is having trouble getting a remote link to the UFP database he is trying to access...  all communication links in use?  What is going on here... fumes silently for a bit and then gives up::

OPS_Saren says:  ::checking course and speed::

CMO_OMlry says:  ::in SB, fixing up XO Loren from skiing accident.  Is sedated from ligament damage and pain::

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::at his station, completing phaser modifications::

Host COspencer says:  OPS: ETA to Damocles?

Host CE_Susman says:  :: at Main Engineering, doing diagnostics on each system ::

EO_Taylor says:  :: at his station, awaiting the fun to start::

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::standing at the ready room door on the bridge, his normal spot, watching the goings on::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::Tesla is napping... maybe I will go to the bridge and leave him here for a change::

CMO_OMlry says:  MO: He should be fine now...needs a bit of rest for a couple of hours or so...

Host Blanca says:  ACTION: ETA to the Testing Range is 6 minutes.

MO_Jay says:  ::enters SB:

EO_Taylor says:  ::...and also doing monitoring with the chief::

Host CE_Susman says:  EO: Report on IPS and SIF, please

OPS_Saren says:  CO: ETA six minutes Captain.

Host COspencer says:  OPS: Thank you ::taps her COM badge *CMO* You may want to get up here.. we are ETA at 6 minutes...

MO_Jay says:  CMO: Could you use a hand?

CMO_OMlry says:  ::finishes up with Loren and makes report::

CSO_Vortak says:  ::taking her new duties very seriously, reviews reports from Starfleet to get any idea of what to look for on sensors::

EO_Taylor says:  CE: yes sir...

OPS_Saren says:  ::checks power allocation for the phaser array::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::wanders off towards the bridge::

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::sees a new face on the bridge and examines the CSO closely from the ready room door::

Host COspencer says:  ::stands:: TO: Are we ready with our new adjustments to the weapons?

CMO_OMlry says:  MO: Nope...I am actually finished here.  He needs to rest.  Just keep an eye on him. *CO* On my way

TO_Joat says:  ::Enters bridge and takes TAC 2::

CMO_OMlry says:  ::exits SB for TL:: Bridge...

MO_Jay says:  CMO: Aye

EO_Taylor says:  :: arrives to IPS::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::exits TL onto bridge and wanders over to SCI 2::

CMO_OMlry says:  ::exits TL onto Bridge::  CO: Reporting as ordered, Captain...

EO_Taylor says:  CE: both of the IPS and SIF are working at 95% efficiency, sir

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::walks up the ramp to the back of the bridge and glances at each of the consoles as he passes them::

CSO_Vortak says:  ::runs level three diagnostic on long-range sensors to assure they are in top shape for the testing::

Host COspencer says:  :;looks for Susman and does not see him:: *CEO* are we ready with our adjustments to the impulse engines?

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::looks over tactical systems, yet again...::

CE_Susman says:  EO: Both? Good

Host COspencer says:  CMO: Thank you.. we are about to arrive.. check on the status of the  Inuit please

CE_Susman says:  *CO* Impulse Engines are already adjusted, Captain.

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  :;calls up the schematics of the phaser and power system modifications....  this seems like a really dumb idea, and the execution doesn't look all that hot either...  just hope it works and doesn't blow up or something::

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: Aye...

Host COspencer says:  TO: Are we ready Mr? ::waits for answer::

MO_Jay says:  XO: You need anything?

Host COspencer says:  *CEO* Thank you Susman.. keep a close eye on them please

TO_Joat says:  CTO: Checked the interface of the IPS with the deflector dish, looks good.

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::stops beside the TO and glances down at his board::

CMO_OMlry says:  *Inuit* Status please?

EO_Taylor says:  CE: If you want a better report: IPS is working at 94.9894977569% and SIF at 95.102365897458%

CE_Susman says:  EO: Check the IPS drivers and IRCs, please

CE_Susman says:  EO: and check weapons systems, please

CE_Susman says:  *CO* Doing so. Susman out

Host COspencer says:  *CEO* Thank you...

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::nods at TO.::TO: thank you

EO_Taylor says:  CE: Aye sir...

Host COspencer says:  ALL: Last minute reports please...

Host COspencer says:  CSO: Please keep an eye on the area.. we do not need any surprise visitors while we are out here

TO_Joat says:  ::Looks to CTO for him to report::

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO/TO:  I've lowered phaser harmonics by 50%.

EO_Taylor says:  CE: IRCs are at 91% efficiency, do you want me to work on that system sir

OPS_Saren says:  CO: Captain 1 minute to arrival.

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Aye sir, sensors have been thoroughly checked and all known material reviewed on the Bellicose aliens::

CE_Susman says:  :: checks Deflection systems and Backup generators ::

Host COspencer says:  CTO: IS that the whole adjustment we need?

CMO_OMlry says:  *Inuit* Gryphon to Inuit, status please

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::leaves the TO's panel and passes down the far side of the bridge glancing at each terminal as he goes::

USS_Inuit says:  #COM:Gryphon:TextOnly: We have been delayed. Begin your testing and we will join you ASAP. We will run scans with LRS.

CSO_Vortak says:  ::scans the area for possible visitors::

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::shrugs:: CO:  I guess that's why we're going to a testing range.

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::looks around for a chair.. why don't these stations have CHAIRS!!!!  People in the back need to sit down too... and seat restraints, why aren't there any restraints... who designed this place, anyways, idiots?::

CMO_OMlry says:  *Inuit* Reason for delay?

TO_Joat says:  ::Checks the LRS::

Host COspencer says:  ::hears a beep and goes to OPS:: CMO: Is that the Inuit?

OPS_Saren says:  CO: Captain text message from the Inuit.

MO_Jay says:  ::sees an ensign enter sickbay::

EO_Taylor says:  CE: Weapons systems are working very well, I've put a particular attention to them because of the purpose of this mission...

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: They will be delayed and said to begin tests

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::contemplates a rather harsh memo to ASDB concerning seating arrangements on starship bridges::

USS_Inuit says:  #COM:Gryphon:TextOnly: Slight variation in our engines, we are underway at the moment

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::glances at the good doctor as he gives his report::

Host COspencer says:  ::reads over his shoulder:: OPS: Send them back text saying we received ::wonders why text only message::

OPS_Saren says:  CO: Aye Captain ::sends message::

Host COspencer says:  CMO: Thank you, Please let Susman know we are ready to start

OPS_Saren says:  CO: We have arrived ::takes the ship out of warp::

OPS_Saren  (Warp_in.wav)

CE_Susman says:  EO: Yes, Ensign. Take a team. You have a minute.

CE_Susman says:  *Bridge*: Engineering Report: All systems are running under normal parameters. Engineering out.

CE_Susman says:  EO: Good, Mr. Taylor. Keep an eye on them

Host COspencer says:  YEO: Yes Jensen continue.. ::looks at him::

CMO_OMlry says:  *CEO* You may begin tests when ready...

CSO_Vortak says:  ::reads CIV's mind without thinking about it:: CIV: You would do better to draft a logical memo rather than an emotional one.  You would likely get a more positive response.

CE_Susman says:  *OPS* Susman to Saren: Saren, please keep an eye on deflectors and SIF, please. Oh.. Take care of the IPS too.

EO_Taylor says:  ::takes a tem and runs to the IRCs with a tem::

TO_Joat says:  ::Scanning for targets::

OPS_Saren says:  *CEO*:Yes sir.

Yeo_Jensen says:  CO: All Starfleet vessels are to treat approaching ships as enemy vessels.

CSO_Vortak says:  ::continues scanning for vessels, lifeforms, anything...::

EO_Taylor says:  ::arrives to the IRCs::

MO_Jay says:  Ens.Wright:You okay?

CMO_OMlry says:  *CEO* Please let us know when you have begun...

Host COspencer says:  YEO: I am aware of that  :;smiles:: we are expecting them.. CTO:  Start testing.. keep on top of CEO for any problems

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::looks over at the CSO::  CSO: I will thank you to not use your telepathy with me, if you might be so kind.. and since ASDB is largely staffed by non-Vulcans, i figure an emotional memowill work best :;slight smile::

EO_Taylor says:  ::begins repairs and gives assignments to his team::

OPS_Saren says:  CO: Another text only message, they are experiencing a slight variance in their engines and that they will be underway any moment.

CMO_OMlry says:  ::looks around Bridge::

CE_Susman says:  *CMO*: Acknowledged, Doctor. You may begin.

Yeo_Jensen says:  CO: Of course, Captain ... ::does not share her optimism::

MO_Jay says:  <Wright>MO:No, I fell sick. I think I have the flu or something.

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: Ready Captain...

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO: acknowledged

Host COspencer says:  OPS: Find out why  they are on Text only.. CSO: Scan for problems when they arive

MO_Jay says:  Wright: Lie down on a BIO Bed and I will be with you in a minute

TO_Joat says:  CTO: No targets yet.

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Aye sir.

OPS_Saren says:  CO: Yes sir.

MO_Jay says:  ::goes to check on XO::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::hears mention of text only:: CO: text only what?  Am I missing something?

EO_Taylor says:  *CE*: sir I have made some adjustments to the IRCs, they are now running at 94%, would you like me to work on something else or stay on this system?

Host COspencer says:  CIV: Yes the USS  Inuit is sending us text only messages

MO_Jay says:  ::runs scan to check vitals and see if XO is in pain::

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::routes phasers to deflector dish::

OPS_Saren says:  ::monitors systems while trying to figure out the Inuit's comm problem::

CSO_Vortak says:  ::attempts to get Inuit on long-range sensors::

TO_Joat says:  CTO: we have some dummy torpedoes perhaps I could rig something until the Inuit gets here.

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  CO: That is strange... they have the latest version of the standard SF comm system...  hard to break, really....

MO_Jay says:  *CMO*: permission to administer some pain relaxant to the XO?

CE_Susman says:  *EO*: Leave the team over there. I'm sure I will need you here

CMO_OMlry says:  *MO* Is he in much need of it?

EO_Taylor says:  *EO*: I'm glad to hear that sir! on my way...

CSO_Vortak says:  CIV: Even emotional beings respond to rational arguments.

Host COspencer says:  CIV<W> my thoughts.. get with CSO and see what the problem really is..

EO_Taylor says:  ::gets back to main engineering::

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::targets a drone::   TO:  does the drone's shields resemble the aliens'?

MO_Jay says:  *CMO*: according to my scans, the XO is in a small amount of pain

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  CO: Sure

OPS_Saren says:  ::tries to send Inuit a voice message::

Host COspencer says:  ::turns around and looks at all of them:: ALL: Is there some problems.. I do not see any weapons being launched at drones..

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Yes, sir.  ::turns to CIV and asks for his suggestion on the next step::

USS_Inuit says:  #::monitors the Gryphon on LRS::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::calls up comm logs and starts reviewing the data on the last transmission from Inuit::

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::stands as close to the command deck as he dares watching preparations for the weapons test::

TO_Joat says:  CTO: ::turns and stares at the CTO:: CTO: I would hope so...sir.

CTO_Ultsim says:  all:  all right, here goes nothing

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::fires modified phasers::

CMO_OMlry says:  *MO* Wait for now...report back if it increases within the hour

Host COspencer says:  ::wishes she had brought her coffee out of her ready room.. she was in dire need of a drink of it::

EO_Taylor says:  ::arrives at main engineering:: CE: I'm ready for more sir!

MO_Jay says:  *CMO*: aye

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: CTO fires against the drones. As the Gryphon tests the new phaser harmonics, main power grid and auxiliary power fail. Only the batteries are left.

TO_Joat says:  CTO: Uh sir, we're to use the deflector dish.

CSO_Vortak says:  CIV: What could have caused their malfunctions?

MO_Jay says:  ::walks back over to Wright and scans him::

Host COspencer says:  *CEO* Susman.. what has happened? ::swears.. she knew it::

CE_Susman says:  EO: Don't get so excited, Ensign... Sit there and take control of the WPS and ....

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::oh no::

OPS_Saren says:  CO: We've lost main power and auxiliary power Captain.

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::glances up at the lights and looks around::

CSO_Vortak says:  ::goes to replicator and orders a coffee, handing it to the CO and returning to her station::

CE_Susman says:  :: watches system's analysis :: Oh.... oh God

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::goes to Emergency Life Support and punches up a few buttons::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  CSO: We need to see if there is anything in the datastream that suggest some sort of engineering or software problem with Inuit's comm system

Host COspencer says:  OPS: Thank you ... I can see that..  CTO: What is the problem?

CMO_OMlry says:  ::waits for CEO reply::

USS_Inuit says:  #::notices the power failure with the Gryphon from sensor readings::

Yeo_Jensen says:  CO: Captain, Emergency Lights .... ::flips a few switches::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::cusses a bit as the lights go out and the emergency lights come back up::

EO_Taylor says:  ::tries to get everything under control::

CE_Susman says:  *CO: Engineering to Bridge, I suggest to go to Red Alert. We've a major problem here

TO_Joat says:  ::Slams fist into console and curses::

MO_Jay says:  Wright: You have a mild case of the flu

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO:  Apparently something was configured wrong

Host COspencer says:  ALL: Red Alert!!

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::spits out at the CTO:: CTO: Apparently ....

Host COspencer says:  Yeo: thank you Jensen..

CE_Susman says:  EO: Get that WPS running. I'll take care of the backups

TO_Joat  (Alert.wav)

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::wonders when the weapons and power systems designers are going to actually get one of these special set-ups right... probably never::

Host COspencer says:  *CEO* On it Susman.. what is the problem?

CMO_OMlry says:  ALL: Red Alert...All personal to stations!

OPS_Saren says:  ::tapping on console:: CO: All we have are the battery power.

EO_Taylor says:  CE: Aye sir.

TO_Joat says:  ::Mutters:: for all the good that'll do.

CTO_Ultsim says:  *CSO*:  Umm, do we have any idea what happened?

CSO_Vortak says:  ::looks at dimming lights, taps console to assess damage::

MO_Jay says:  ::notices lights go to emergency lighting::

EO_Taylor says:  :starts to work harder that he ever did::

CE_Susman says:  Computer: Level 2 diagnostics on every system

TO_Joat says:  ::Checks the backup generators::

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: Computer alerts of anti-proton levels slowly rising on the Main Deflector Array.

EO_Taylor says:  ::asks back the team that he sent to the IRCs::

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::begins checking weapons configuration::

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: Antiproton levels increasing...

Host COspencer says:  OPS: hail the USS  Inuit

OPS_Saren says:  ::starts getting readings from the main deflector::

EO_Taylor says:  CE: Anti-proton levels are rising sir!

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::checks emergency life support and concentrates on it::

CMO_OMlry says:  OPS: Tell them our situation

TO_Joat says:  ::Sees anti proton levels rising and cuts the connection to deflector dish::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  :;runs over the schematics on the new mods... looking at the links between the phasers and the power system..

CSO_Vortak says:  CTO, CO: apparently the adjusted configuration caused main power grid and auxiliary power failure. Only the batteries are left.

OPS_Saren says:  COM: Inuit: This is the Gryphon please respond ::text message::

Host COspencer says:  CMO: Well then.. that is just great.. *CEO* Mr Susman not to pester you but can I have an idea what we are doing to fix this little problem?

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO/CSO:  I'm separating the systems now

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: The USS Inuit drops from warp in the outskirts of the Range.

CE_Susman says:  *CO* Phaser banks overloaded the Main Thrunk, Captain. We're starting to replace it!

CE_Susman says:  Team 4: Take over that thing! I want that EPS #1 replace in 30!

CE_Susman says:  Oh God...

CE_Susman says:  EO: Shut the anti-matter pods! NOW!

CSO_Vortak says:  ::attempts to restore main power::

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: I couldn't agree with you more, sir...

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::hmmm... is it a software or a hardware problem....   don't see any problems in the power allocation coding or the new phaser sequencing routines...  ::

TO_Joat says:  CTO: I cut the connection to the deflector dish.

EO_Taylor says:  ::shuts the anti-matter pods::

MO_Jay says:  *CMO*:XO seems to still be okay. Did we loose main power?

USS_Inuit says:  #COM:Gryphon:TextOnly: Gryphon, what is your status. We have detected a drop in power on your ship

Host COspencer says:  *CEO* Very well .let us know if it gets critical.. ::beads of sweat pop out on her forehead::

CSO_Vortak says:  ::adjusting anti-proton levels::

OPS_Saren says:  CO: I have them on text only Captain

CMO_OMlry says:  *MO* Yes...prep SB for any possible medical emergencies

TO_Joat says:  ::Sees backup generators have kicked in::

Host COspencer says:  COM  Inuit: We are about to lose our main deflector to an explosion.. require assistance..

CSO_Vortak says:  ::scans with LRS for any other ships, aliens, etc.::

MO_Jay says:  *CMO*: Aye

EO_Taylor says:  ::gets back to the WPS to get them running::

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: The TO's and CSO's attempts do not diminish the anti-proton levels from raising in the Main Deflector. It is slowly and steadily rising.

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::flashes back to KM scenario back in the academy::

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::stays out of the way monitoring life support and hanging out near OPS::

CE_Susman says:  *OPS*: Saren, shut down the anti-matter pipes to the deflector, please!

CE_Susman says:  *CO*: Simple.. Replacing the damaged thrunk, closing pipes.... and...

CE_Susman says:  *CO* Captain, with all respect, consider this critical... We're dead in space....

CE_Susman says:  :: adds :: *CO* for now......

Host COspencer says:  OPS: Send out an all wide Distress signal.. and  CMO: Prepare the Podds for possible evacuation

USS_Inuit says:  #COM:Gryphon:TextOnly: We are at the range and closing on your location. Can you specify the problem?

OPS_Saren says:  *CEO*: Shutting them down now

EO_Taylor says:  CE: sir, the anti-protons  are still rising, what is the primary task here, sir?

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: Aye... *ALL* Prepare pods for possible evacuation

OPS_Saren says:  ::sends out all wide distress signal::

Host COspencer says:  CSO: Scan that ship.. why are they on text only COM  Inuit: I require to know your excat reasons for text only...

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::calls up the deflector TM and starts looking at that.....   hmmm, anti-proton build-up::

USS_Inuit says:  #COM:Gryphon:Text Only: I apologize for the text transmissions only, however our Impulse Engine Space-Time Driver has failed on our port Impulse Engine and has caused our Voice-Image Comm Array to Fail.

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Aye, sir. ::scans the Inuit to discover the problem::

Host COspencer says:  CSO: Is it what he says it is?

EO_Taylor says:  ::gets to a station while waiting for the CEO's answer::

CMO_OMlry says:  *ALL* All non essential personnel to escape pods. Standby if need to evacuate

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  CSO: That sounds bogus to me... we would see clear indications in their power curve and maneuverability if the IE driver failed

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO:  Could we try separating the dish from the ship?

MO_Jay says:  *CMO*: Should I prep the XO for transport?

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: The CIV is correct, their impulse engines are online and operating perfectly.

Host COspencer says:  CTO: Yes if it comes to that..    CSO: Any word yet.. on  Inuit?  I am not buying this it is broken problem

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::hmmm, non-essential personnel... wonders if that includes him::

CMO_OMlry says:  *MO* Prepare all in SB for transport, but standby

USS_Inuit says:  #::powers up weapons and begins firing on the Gryphon::

Yeo_Jensen says:  CTO/CO: It should be possible to release the dish from Deflector Control ....

CSO_Vortak says:  All: They are powering weapons!

MO_Jay says:  *CMO* Aye

Host COspencer says:  CSO: Scan for life forms.. find out why we are being lied to  *CEO* Susman.....?

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::prepares dish separation, just in case::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  ::scanning the Inuit::

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Yes, sir.  ::scans for life forms, specifically Klingons or Bellicose or those Q'orphods::

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO:  Captain, the Inuit is firing on us!

TO_Joat says:  ::Looks to FCO expecting some fancy maneuvers.::

USS_Inuit says:  #:: phasers hit the Gryphon hard::

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::is tossed from one side of the bridge to the other::

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::rocks as ship phasers hit::

CMO_OMlry says:  OPS: Contact Inuit to stop firing on us

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: Casualties are reported throughout the ship.

Host COspencer says:  ::rocks in her tracks..:: CMO: Already at red alert.. and weapons are off line.. any suggestions?

CSO_Vortak says:  ::grabs to railing in preparation for fire, rocks back and forth but manages to maintain her station::

TO_Joat says:  ::Rocks and almost falls::

MO_Jay says:  ::preps all in SB for transport:: Nurses: prep SB for casualties!

CTO_Ultsim says:  ::raises shield harmonics and awaits captain's orders::

Host COspencer says:  COM  Inuit : Stand down your weapons. You are firing on a Federation Vessel !

EO_Taylor says:  CE: sir, I can't get to control the systems, any suggestions sir?

OPS_Saren says:  COM: Inuit: Text only: Please stop firing at us!

MO_Jay says:  ::falls to the DECK::

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  CO: This is strange, Captain... my scans indicate that the Inuit is following standard Breen tactical protocols... and I am reading residual Breen weapon signatures from the Inuit hull, along with some damage

USS_Inuit says:  #::does not respond to the COM....keeps firing::

OPS_Saren says:  CO: They are not responding

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::picks himself up off the deck wiping a string of blood from his mouth::

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO:  I thought I smelled a rat

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: If we play dead...which isn't far from the truth...they might figure out to stop?

FCOKim says:  ::prepares for evasive maneuvers::

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Sir, I can get no clear reading on type of life forms

Host COspencer says:  CIV: Well we are a little late finding out... CTO: any weapons that are of use?

OPS_Saren says:  ::tries to get power::

EO_Taylor says:  :: does everything he can to get the systems running again ::

USS_Inuit says:  #::moves around the Gryphon carefully::

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: Scans indicate that the Inuit has been heavily damaged by Breen weapon's fire. Their shields are operating at 25%.

MO_Jay says:  ::Gets wiping a small amount of blood off lip::

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::leans against the command deck railing:: CMO: Or they might figure to finish us off .....

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Would it be possible to use the Anti-Protons from the deflector dish as a weapon?

Host COspencer says:  CMO: Get down to cargo bay three and get the Skyler ready to take out.. you and TO.. it has phasers at least

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Sir, scans indicate that the Inuit has been heavily damaged by the Breen.  Their shields are holding at 25%

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  CIV: I recommend following SF tac protocol Orange-6... with modifications for our power situation...

CMO_OMlry says:  YEO: But it may give us a chance to get weapons online to fight back

CTO_Ultsim says:  Yeo:  took the words right out of my mouth

USS_Inuit says:  #::takes a few more shots at the Gryphon ::

CE_Susman says:  :: goes over console and overrides computer control :: Now we'll see fireworks 

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::nods at him and wipes a bloodied hand off on his uniform moving to the CTO's side::

CMO_OMlry says:  CO: Aye sir...::exits bridge to TL:: Cargo bay 3

CTO_Ultsim says:  CO:  Captain, if we release the anti-protons in the deflector, we could destroy the Inuit and maybe restore power as well

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  :: the Jefferies tube cover near the SCI 2 console pops open and Tesla wiggles through it and on to the bridge::

EO_Taylor says:  CE: orders sir?

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: Some of the Inuit's phasers do some damage to the Gryphon. No critical damage as of yet.

Host COspencer says:  *CMO*: I know this is your first day as acting XO.. you may want to take someone with you.. ::looks at Yeoman.. :: YEO: go with him

Yeo_Jensen says:  CTO: If we have tractor control we could use it as a giant mine ...... ::glances at the board having no idea what any of it does::

TO_Joat says:  ::Prepares to reconnect the deflector dish::

USS_Inuit says:  #::maneuvers toward the rear of the Gryphon and fires.....still wondering why no return fire::

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::glances at the Captain:: CO: Of course sir .... ::glances at the Doc and falls into step behind him::

CMO_OMlry says:  *CO* Have them meet me there.  I will get the Skyler prepped

CIV_Ian_McMurdo says:  CTO: What is the current anti-proton charge on the Main Deflector?

Host COspencer says:  ::glad Yeoman had all that training in the secret forces::

Host Blanca_ says:  ACTION: Computer warns that anti-proton level on the main deflector dish is reaching unsafe levels.

USS_Inuit says:  #::pulls away and begins a turn for another strike::

MO_Jay says:  *CMO*:I am getting injuries reports flooding in from allover the ship!

Yeo_Jensen says:  ::rides the turbolift with the Doc wiping the last blood off his hands onto his uniform trousers::

OPS_Saren says:  ::hears the computer warning::

CSO_Vortak says:  CO: Anti-proton levels are at an unsafe level

Host COspencer says:  *CEO* Susman.. lets get a crew out to the deflector dish  we do not have much more time for this..

EO_Taylor says:  :: sees the anti-proton level:: CE: Sir, we have to do something about this or were as good as dead!

CMO_OMlry says:  ::exits TL onto Cargo Bay 3 with Jensen::

CTO_Ultsim says:  Civ:  they anti-protons have a negative charge
