CSO_Singh says:
:: In the transporter room as ready as possible.::
Host CO_Savar says:
::Turns towards tactical::  CIV: Fire at will, concentrate your fire on shield generators 3 and 4...
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Feels her life force draining ::
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Listening to any communications from the station ::
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Ensuring power allocations are sufficient ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::in the transporter room checking his equipment while glancing at the security team standing by in transporter room 1::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Feeling impatience now at her, she closes her eyes and mentally chants a mantra to keep herself stilled.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::steps onto the PADD::  *CO*: Away team is ready to beam over at your command, Captain...
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Has the transporter at the ready to beam the away team to the station at a moment's notice ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Hearing Alec's voice, she opens her eyes and quickly joins the group on the transporter PADD.::
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Wonders how many breaths she has left before she takes her last one ::
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Starting to feel disembodied... ::

ACTION: The Luna strikes out at the shield generators, and a flicker begins to form in the shield harmonics...

Host CO_Savar says:
*CTO*: Jarot, the shields are falling.  Energize....
CTO_Jarot says:
*CO*: Understood...  ::nods at the transporter chief::  TRChief: Energize !
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Feels as if she is floating... ::

@ACTION: The Away Team beams over to the station.  When they materialize, they see a mostly clean station, minus the various battle damage.  The walls and floors are grey, and the lights flicker intermittently, punctuated by a violet-hued flashing.  There are several personnel running about.  One notices the away team...

CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan targets generators 3 &4 then fires::
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Phaser in hand, she looks around, staying close to Alec's side at the moment.::
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Locks on to the away teams bio-signatures ::
CSO_Singh says:
@:: Flips her tricorder open and thumbs the activation switch.::
CTO_Jarot says:
@::glances around, assessing the situation at hand::  CSO: Scan the area... we'll head for the first blind spot...  Sec Teams: Defensive perimeter as we move to our target...let's move...
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Feeling herself fading into darkness ::
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Nods as she points to the left, down a corridor.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Generators three and four targeted and it
Host CO_Savar says:
@<Crewman> ::Runs to a communication terminal::  *All*: Intruder Alert, section 18!  Intruder alert!
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
connected with 3 volleys
CSO_Singh says:
@ CTO:  My tricorders is blocked here as well.  We are going to have to go pocking our heads into places.  There is no one ahead at the moment.
Host CO_Savar says:
FCO: Get us out of...

ACTION: Savar is interrupted by several torpedoes impacting the hull.  Shields begin to fail.

OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Checking for damages ::   CO: Sir, shields are beginning to fail...
CTO_Jarot says:
@::grumbles::  CSO: Just our luck...  ::aiming her phaser for the crewmember that is shouting and fires::  All: Let's move out...  Sec Alpha... check the doors we pass immediately...
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Engage warp 2, any heading!
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Fingers fly over his console ::   CO: Aye sir...getting us the flock outta dodge...
CSO_Singh says:
@ CTO:  We are going to have that problem throughout when they come out of those rooms.  I can only account for the areas that are not blocked.  ::Follows.::
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Sets a course and engages warp engines ::

@ACTION: The away team approaches the end of a cooridor, with a large set of double doors.  The doors mark the edge of the shielded area.

CSO_Singh says:
@:: Keeping close she stops and points.::  CTO:  There is the first one.

ACTION: The Luna breaks into warp space, barely avoiding another assault.  The Alliance vessel breaks off to pursue.

CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Moves to the side, out of the way of fire should there be some. ::
OPS_Sanchez says:
CO: We are being pursued
CTO_Jarot says:
@::points at the doors to the security guards::  Sec: Two men at each door... enter at my command....  ::takes a defensive position in front of the double door area::
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Evasive maneuvers, pattern eta.
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Prepare to drop out of warp on my mark... let them overshoot us, and strike them from behind.
OPS_Sanchez says:
CO: Aye sir...    :: Fingers input pattern ETA, evasive maneuvers ::
OPS_Sanchez says:
CO: Evasives engaged
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Tucks her tricorder away and aims her phaser.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Ready
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Just say the word
Host CO_Savar says:
::Counts down in his head, letting the ship catch up::  CIV: Mark.
CTO_Jarot says:
@::nods as one of the security guards mentions the closed doors::  Sec Guards: Blast those doors open, please...
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Dropping out of warp
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Fire!
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Prepar5ing to fire
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Two torps away
CTO_Jarot says:
@<Sec Guards>  ::start firing at the closed doors with a faint grin on their faces::
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Thinks this is like using the hammer to open the nut, but an urgency pervades her, as if they are almost out of time.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: The torps have connected wounding the enemy

@ACTION: As the away team cuts through the doors, several armed guards coming running down the hallway in green uniforms.  "Halt!" is all the away team hears before being assaulted by phaser blasts

CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Thinks... we are coming Kehari... just a little bit more...::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Shall I finish them off?
Host CO_Savar says:
::Shakes his head::  CIV: No.  Pull us back, let them sit there.  Keep an eye on sensors for incoming reinforcements as we wait for the away team's signal.
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Close to the wall, goes to her knee to fire.::
Host Dr_Igor says:
@::Walks up and down the tubes checking the settings.. she reaches Qui and smiles down...:: Self:  Another one bites the dust...
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Status?
CTO_Jarot says:
@::sighs::  Sec Alpha: Form a defensive corridor and return fire...  Sec Beta: Continue cutting through those doors... ::kneels and returns fire at the incoming base guards::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye, pulling back to the station
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Checks his console ::
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Instinctively rolls to the side and hears the sizzle of burnt cloth.::
Host Dr_Igor says:
@::continues her inspection::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: but I'll keep us at a safe distance away from the station so that I can freely keep an eye on our sitting friends
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Tempted to see how the guards were doing cutting through, but doesn't, just aims muttering under her breath.::  Hurry up...

@ACTION: Neither team has much in the way of cover, and the battle is short.  The station's personnel are neutralized, but not before taking out several of the Starfleet personnel

CTO_Jarot says:
@<Guards> ::cut through one of the doors and quickly move in, motioning the others to follow him::
Host Dr_Igor says:
@::Jumps as she hears a crash through the door.::

@INFO: As the doors open, the team is presented with a lab area - scientists mill about, tables are strewn with beakers, several of which are broken.  There are what appear to be tilted biobeds, and several vertical tubes filled with a strange green liquid.

@INFO:   Various people are strapped to the tables and float in the tubes, oblivious to their surroundings.  One of the people in the tubes appears to be Vulcan, but not much detail can be made out between the bubbling.

CSO_Singh says:
@ :: As the last man goes down, she stands up a bit wobbly and glances around.::
OPS_Sanchez says:
CO:  We have damage to decks 17, 19, and 23.  Minor injuries
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: So far no one has come to help our friends
Host Dr_Igor says:
@::Runs to the nearest panel and hits the alarm::
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: A quick check of her people down, shows they are dead.  She shakes her head at Alec.::
CTO_Jarot says:
@::glances around the room and motions at the CSO::  CSO: Commander, take a look in here...
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Sends repair crew out ::
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: Stand down from red alert, but keep us at heightened status.  We're going to have to break through their shields again unless they can bring them down from the inside.
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Anger glares from her eyes as she quickly takes in what she sees.::  CTO:  They are nothing more then monsters...
CTO_Jarot says:
@::sighs at those who have fallen for matter which doesn't concern them::  Self: let us go back to reality quick.... this is becoming a disaster...
Host Dr_Igor says:
@::Begins screaming and pulls a phaser from behind her.. She begins firing at the away team.::
CTO_Jarot says:
@CSO: Agreed...  ::gestures at the Sec Guards to capture that Doctor::
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Ducks down from a wild beam.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Taking us from red to yellow
CTO_Jarot says:
@CSO: See if you can some information on these experiments as they appear... after that we'll move along and get to those captured people...
CSO_Singh says:
@ ~~~~ CTO:  If nothing more... this place should be destroyed before we leave.~~~~  ::With a nod, makes her way to a console.::
Host Dr_Igor says:
@::Aims for Jarot's head and fires.::
CTO_Jarot says:
@<Sec Guards> ::from a close defensive perimeter they close on Igor and fires to disable him::
CSO_Singh says:
@:: Peeking up, she glances at the console at the strange language upon it.  She does a quick scan and ducks back down, letting the computer decode for her.::
CTO_Jarot says:
@::sees the Doctor fire and quickly ducks, taking a defensive position::
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Sounds like phaser fire penetrate her hearing...but she feels it is too late as the feeling of being disembodied grows ::
Host Dr_Igor says:
@::Is hit and flies against one of the tubes... she lets out a loud scream as her back snaps::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: If we have to break through them again, I might have to go over myself
CTO_Jarot says:
@::sees Igor being disabled he nods in agreement::  CSO: You finished, yet ?
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: The tricorder flashing green informs her it has completed the translation.  Quickly she reads through it.  Hearing silence for a moment, she peaks up.::  CTO:  Give me a sec...
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: We'll be pulling our team out and getting out of here... hopefully going home...
CSO_Singh says:
@:: Seeing it is clear, she pulls up the info she wants and does a quick data transfer.::  CTO:  New language and all...
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: A prisoner would be nice
Host CO_Savar says:
::Turns slowly::  CIV: For what purpose?
CTO_Jarot says:
@::nods::  CSO: Can you also extract information the whereabouts of our prisoners ?
CSO_Singh says:
@ CTO:  And something extra... I have some blueprints here... and the files and... ::Looks up::  Qui is here as is Jarek.
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I would like to take back some technical, defensive and technological data for SFI to analyze in case this ever happens again, SF would be better prepared to deal with the situation
CTO_Jarot says:
@::smiles faintly and nods::  CSO: Excellent... can you lead the way to their whereabouts ?
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I mean information prisoner, not humanoid
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: The data download finished, she stares at the console a moment.::  CTO:  All of this needs to be destroyed... this entire room.  But first we need to get our people and these others out of here.  We need to find the shield that is blocking our ship.
CSO_Singh says:
@ CTO:  I will look for her.  You take care of the generator or whatever they are using.
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: I'd like to get in, extract the team, and leave immediately.  If you can get the information you need in those instants, then do so.  But I will not continue to risk this ship's personnel more than necessary.
CTO_Jarot says:
@::nods at the CSO::  CSO: Agreed, the Luna can take care of the base once we're out...   Sec Beta: Follow Commander Singh...  CSO: Just keep in touch then...  ::nods as he moves out with Sec Alpha, heading down the corridor, looking for the primary shield generator::
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Motions to one of the security officers.::  Security:  Step outside the doors into the hall and inform the captain of what we have discovered.
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Moves down the rows and rows of people, letting her anger keep her horror at bay.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Then I require the wounded ship
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: Something pulling at her, she looks up and walks toward the back of the room to stop before a table.::  OPS:  Kehari?
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Unresponsive ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I can beam over, get what I need and leave before I was even discovered
OPS_Sanchez says:
::Concentrates on his console ::
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Hearing one of the guards gasp, she ignores it and pulls out her medical kit to run a quick scan on the Trill. ::  OPS:  We are here... just hold on and we will get you out.
Host CO_Savar says:
::Considers the options momentarily::  CIV: How long would you need to be ready?
CTO_Jarot says:
@::glancing at his tricorder he moves further::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I need only a couple of minutes to be ready and ten over at the ship. They should be busy enough not to notice that I'm there
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::To no one.::  Nooo... they have taking the symbiont.  ::Looks up.::  Charlie, look around for the symbiont.
Host CO_Savar says:
CIV: You have two.  OPS: Prepare to move us into position.
OPS_Sanchez says:
CO: Aye sir...    :: Punches in the coordinates ::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan quickly goes over a scan of the ship, finds a place where he can enter and get what he needs::
CSO_Singh says:
@ ~~~~ CTO: I have Kehari.  She is not good.~~~~
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan leaves the Bridge for transporter room 1::
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Shakes her head::  Damn... she is hooked up to all kinds of things.  I could kill her by removing any one of them.  ::Looks up as if for some inspiration.::
CTO_Jarot says:
@::locating the shield generator he enters the room with his team, glancing around quickly before moving to one of the operating consoles::  Sec Alpha: Secure the room...   *CSO*: Jarot to Singh... how are you coming along ?
CSO_Singh says:
@ *CTO*:  They have her and the others hooked up to various instrumentations.  Some of them are probably keeping her alive.  I am not sure what to do.  And Alec... they have removed the symbiont.  I have Charlie looking for it now.
CTO_Jarot says:
@::sighs as he shakes his head::  *CSO*: I'm currently trying to deactivate the, what appears to be, primary shield generator...
CSO_Singh says:
@ *CTO*:  The most logical thing we can do, once you have that down, is beam the whole kit and caboodle up and turn them over to medical.
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS; Move us into position...  *CIV*: Dropping shields in twenty seconds.
CTO_Jarot says:
@::tries to deactivate the shield generator while glancing at the entrance doors to the room, working as fast as he can::
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Presses the button ::   CO: Moving the Luna in position now, sir
CTO_Jarot says:
@*CSO*: Acknowledged....
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: The transporter Chief has my coordinates locked
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: Ready to go
Host CO_Savar says:
OPS: Drop shields.  *CIV*: Energize.
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Looks up as Charlie informs her he has found the symbiont.::  Charlie:  OK... Ummm... be prepared to beam back to the ship with everything you can see around us.  We'll let the transporter take care of cutting of power, saving it to the very last minute.  I am going to stay here with Kehari.
OPS_Sanchez says:
:: Fingers fly over console, dropping shields ::  CO: Shields down
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
TRChief: Energize ::the chief transports Ewan to the secure location::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan materializes in an empty data room::
CSO_Singh says:
@ Charlie:  Go inform the ship we have found the cloaking device and should have it down soon.  They should prepare for mass beaming.  Ummm... into the main cargo bay.  Inform medical they are going to have major problems on their hands, including reattaching a symbiont.  There is no telling how long the two have been separated.
CSO_Singh says:
@ :: As Charlie goes, she turns back to Kehari::  Qui:  Soon... I promise.
OPS_Qui says:
@:: Weakly moves a few fingers on her right hand ::
CTO_Jarot says:
@*CSO*: Shields are down... suggest we beam over now...  ::nods at his team to get ready::
CSO_Singh says:
@ ::Reaches to take the hand, wishing she could do more, yet not daring to.::
CIV_Capt_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan quickly pulls out a PADD and connects it to the computer and begins a download of technical information on all Alliance ships::
CSO_Singh says:
@ *CTO*:  Thank Buddha...
