Episode 163: "Prelude to Invasion, Part 3: The Retaking of a Ship": The Luna is in a pickle, she has been transported back in time - 1947 to be precise  While exiting the anomaly she smashed into the USS Vesuvius.  Now the Luna has been boarded by the aliens and is having a hard time repelling them back.  Over 200 crew lost.  The Vesuvius has sent a tactical team over to help.

CSO_Singh says:
:: Leading the AT from the Vesuvius toward engineering.::
CO_Savar says:
::In auxiliary control, checks the status display panel once again::

ACTION:  The Away Team is meeting resistance on the way to Engineering

CSO_Singh says:
:: Finds herself behind a group of tactical officers.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::in auxiliary control, monitoring things::
CSO_Singh says:
*CO*: Captain, we have made it aboard the Luna.  There are two groups.  One is heading toward the bridge to secure it.  I am with the second heading for engineering
CO_Savar says:
*CSO*: Understood, Commander.  Reports are still of heavy resistance in several pockets.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan finishes up deploying the last of the threat suppression systems in critical area which included transport inhibitors::
CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: Captain MacPherson-Quest, status?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Looks over at VCTO, and motions him back.  Whispers::  VCTO:  I know of another way in if we could have a diversion.
OPS-Qui says:
:: In auxiliary control signing on to the operations console there ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: Captain I have managed to place the necessary counter-measures in key areas of the ship. There is so much that I can do right now
CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: Understood.  Do what you can, but be aware there is a team from the Vesuvius aboard now.
CMO_Kymar says:
::stand in front of a mirror and tugs his uniform down straight before shifting his belt and reholstering his pistol, smiling slightly at the image:: Self: A nice, clean uniform....nothing better. ::glances over at his white lab coat and leaves it where it is before heading out of the door and walking for the nearest turbolift::
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Alec, I believe I can bring a team through a back way into engineering  Or would redirecting them elsewhere help?~~~~
Dr_Aola says:
@:: After finishing on the Orbit going to the Argon and shower and changing, looks at self in the mirror::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::steps into the TL and takes it down a deck before stepping out, walking for the right door and hitting the chime::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: Roger that, and I have them on my sensors
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant Qui, divert warp power to the internal security systems  I doubt we'll be traveling through warp anywhere soon
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Engineering is fine, we need to fortify our positions if we want to secure the rest of the ship~~~~
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Finishes fluffing out her hair, hears the chime and walks into the living area ::   Out Loud: Come In
CO_Savar says:
*CIV*: When you are finished, please report back to Main Engineering
OPS-Qui says:
CO: Aye Sir...    :: Fingers begin to fly over console as she diverts warp power to the internal security systems ::
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Just don't shoot us when we come a knocking.~~~~
CMO_Kymar says:
@::steps through the door and smiles at the good doctor:: Aola: It's good to feel clean again, isn't it?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: Trying the best that I can, I am being diverted at almost every turn with all of hostiles running around
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Finishes tying up her hair and smiles at the Cmdr ::   CMO: Yes it is...particularly after...    :: Sighs ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Leads the majority of the Vesuvius team back down the hall and down a seldom used corridor to a maintenance hatch.::

ACTION: In front of the Vesuvius' Away Team and Commander Singh several aliens appear.

Dr_Aola says:
@CMO: That's the more horrific scene I've ever witnessed ::
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Do you believe it would be possible to lock onto our intruders and beam them out?
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Acknowledged...~~~~  ::glances at the CO::  CO: Captain, Commander Singh is returning from the Vesuvius... she will enter engineering from the maintenance hatch...
CMO_Kymar says:
@::frowns slightly and nods:: Aola: I can't say the same, but it was....disturbing It's one thing to see a dead person, it's another to see a cadet without eyes or internal organs. The skin kind of slumps inwards, the skin pales...::shivers:: Sorry...
OPS-Qui says:
CO: I've tried to get a lock on them, sir...but there's nothing for me to lock onto
CSO_Singh says:
:: Gives a very un-lady like curse and has the team back away, finally firing a few shots herself.::
CO_Savar says:
::Nods::  OPS: There has to be.. something there.  They certainly beamed in.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan slips around a corner after the hallway had cleared::
CO_Savar says:
CTO: Please see to it that their path is unobstructed.
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Trouble... they are blocking our way... and possibly blocking us in.~~~~
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Shivers ::    CMO: I know...and no need to be sorry.    :: Tries to smile ::
OPS-Qui says:
CO: I'm aware of that sir... but I couldn't get a lock on anything... and with things happening so fast... 

ACTION: Suddenly an alien appears in front of Capt MacPherson-Quest

CO_Savar says:
::Nods towards Qui::  OPS: It is not your fault.  Perhaps when Commander Singh returns, she may have some information about their makeup that can assist us
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan with phaser already drawn fires on minimal stun setting::
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Understood... what is your current position...?~~~~
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: Anyway, yes. ::puts his smiles back on, hoping it's not too false:: Shall we get going? I believe I'm accompanying you to this dinner type thing...besides, I don't know where the lounge is yet.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Smiles and continues to try and track the alien movements ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::motions 4 security officers to follow him and moves to the maintenance hatch at the end of the room, preparing his phaser rifle::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Finds themselves firing as they retreat back down and to another corridor::  VCTO:  OK... there is always more then one path... :: Heads quickly to one of the office rooms.::

ACTION: Suddenly Ewan disappears and reappears on the alien ship strapped to a table.  Beside him is an Andorian who is shaking.

Dr_Aola says:
@:: Nods ::   CMO: Let's... and we can try to put this behind us... for a short while anyway...
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  I am heading for one of the offices to try to take them through the duct work.  Not as easy, but I don't know how else to get to you.  Unless you have an idea?~~~~
CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods:: Aola: For a while. ::turns towards the door slightly and holds out his arm::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sees sensors flashing and looks to see what is going on.  Gasps a moment ::    CO: Sir, there are more saucers heading for Earth....
CO_Savar says:
::Makes a slight frown as the Captain's location disappears from the display::  OPS: How many?
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Keep moving, that is the best you can do... I will try clear the way for you and meet you with a security team so we can guide you back... ::opens the hatch entering the security codes and nods at the security officers to get through::
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Tries to put on a more pleasant face, but the images are stuck in her head, and so she just takes the CMO's arm ::    CMO: Thank you, sir
CSO_Singh says:
:: As she takes them into the office, she locks the door behind them with a small prayer to Buddha they succeed.::

ACTION: Several beings descend on the CIV and instruments appear in their hands.  The first alien has a knife and inserts it into his stomach.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Checking sensors ::   CO: Three at this time, sir
Host VFCO_Lorehani says:
#Aliens:  Leave him alone!!!  CIV: Fight him!  Fight Him!!
CMO_Kymar says:
@::heads out of the room and tries to steer the conversation somewhere else:: Aola: 'Dremel', please, or 'Doc' if you really want to be formal ::smiles slightly::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Steps aside as a group pulls over the desk and climbs it to open the grill work.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::turns to the CO::  CO: Captain, expect us back in 15 minutes....  ::gets through the hatch and closes it behind him::
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Snickers ::   CMO: Of course...if you call me Annie
CMO_Kymar says:
@::chuckles in return:: Aola: Annie it is. ::walks into the turbolift:: TL: ummm...Lounge?
Dr_Aola says:
@ CMO: So...what brought you to the Luna?
CSO_Singh says:
:: As they open the grill work, one reaches a hand down for her at the same time another officer picks her up and hands her up.  Shakes her head with a sigh and says nothing as she slips into the duct with the fact that at least it will be an easy trip for her.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#::he bears the pain:: Aliens: You do know that abducting Federation citizens is crime and I will certainly make you pay

ACTION: The aliens ignore him and remove fluid from his body.  They pass the fluid over to some aliens standing over Lt Lorehani and insert it into her.

CTO_Jarot says:
::heads through the maintenance locker with his security team::  ~~~~CSO: We're heading towards you... what your exact position ?~~~~
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: I'd been applying for the transfer for some time. You know how it is, big science vessel the Nebula, the perfect place for a Doctor. They approved my app, transferred me, and here I am...::shrugs:: not very interesting, but it's a story ::smiles slightly again::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#Aliens: Give that back at once!
CO_Savar says:
::Resists from pacing or contacting the CSO and CTO::
OPS-Qui says:
@:: Nods smiling ::   CMO: Yes, I know about that.  Being on the Atlantis with Admiral Royce...it's been...interesting

ACTION: The alien looks down at the man and shakes his head.  He does not flinch as the Andorian screams.

CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  In the small maintenance duct work not far from engineering, the one that is rarely used.  It is a bit of a tight fit for some of the security officers following me.~~~~
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#::Ewan struggles to reach his commbadge::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::steps out of the TL as it stops:: Aola: Serving under an Admiral, I can understand. It must have been something else

ACTION: Just as suddenly, the aliens leave the FCO and CIV - their restraints unlocked.

CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: Acknowledged, moving into your direction.... ~~~~  ::motions the security team to go left into the corridor leading to the maintenance duct work::  ~~~~CSO: Where are the alien invaders from your position ?~~~~
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Smiles more ::   CMO: I've been with Xenobia ... I mean, Admiral Royce, since I was assigned to the Vesuvius with her.  When she moved up to the Admiralty, she took me with her.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#::after the straps release, Ewan reaches up and touches his commbadge:: COM: Capt Savar: can you hear me?
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO:  There was one group in front of engineering, one appeared before us as we were heading for the Jeffries entry... I believe they followed us.  I locked the room, but have no idea if they can get in or not. ~~~~
OPS-Qui says:
:: Watches internal sensors and notes the progress of the away teams from the Vesuvius ::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::chuckles softly:: Aola: Ah, so you had friends in high places. Not a bad place to be, not bad at all. The only friends I've got anywhere near high places are now pirates and outlaws.

ACTION:  Communications to the Luna are blocked.

OPS-Qui says:
@:: Laughs ::    CMO: I guess I just lucked out....
Host VFCO_Lorehani says:
#::Slowly begins to climb off the table.::  CIV:  Who.... Who.... are you?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#::Ewan sits up:: VFCO: I am Capt MacPherson-Quest, Starfleet Intelligence currently assigned with the USS Luna. And you are?
CTO_Jarot says:
~~~~CSO: All Right. we're nearing the door to your hiding place... no aliens in sight so far.. ~~~~  ::moves forward::
Host VFCO_Lorehani says:
#::Holds onto her stomach and almost lets out a whine.  The FCO discovers she is pregnant.::  CIV:  I.... I'm... Lt Lorehani... Sir....  Oh god what did they do to me..... USS Vesuvius...
Host VFCO_Lorehani says:
#::Holds onto the side of the bed.::
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: Lucky you ::smiles and nods:: Any idea who's table we're sitting at?
OPS-Qui says:
@CMO: None.  Did we get an invitation from someone to have dinner with them?  I think I missed that meeting....    :: Grins ::
CSO_Singh says:
:: smiles::  ~~~~ CTO:  We are heading your way... more likely we will butt heads.  Which I will not complain about at all.~~~~
CTO_Jarot says:
::nods in thought::  ~~~~CSO: Very well... we'll maintain position here...~~~~  ::kneels as he takes a defensive position::
Dr_Aola says:
@CMO: Sorry...I'm was joking
CO_Savar says:
::Wonders where his Executive Officer is.  The Luna needs a new plan of action right now::
CSO_Singh says:
:: Stills as she hears clatter, then smiles and heads around a corner easily, with a smile.::  ~~~~ CTO:  Hello old friend...~~~~
CMO_Kymar says:
@::grins slightly:: Aola: No need to apologize. I don't think I can see the Captain anyway.
Dr_Aola says:
@CMO: Well, I could use a stiff drink...how about you?
CMO_Kymar says:
@Aola: I wouldn't say no to one, it'd probably help
Host Captain_Bryce says:
@CMO/Aola:  Ahhh welcome aboard... ::Comes up behind them.::  Is everything set, can the Argon begin towing the Orbit?
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Hears Captain Bryce and whispers to the CMO ::   CMO: There goes our drink!     :: Snickers quickly ::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#VFCO: You better lie down, you don't look so good
Host Captain_Bryce says:
@::Hears the comment and chuckles::  Aola:  If it's a drink you want, a drink you'll yet.
CMO_Kymar says:
@::chuckles along with her and turns:: Bryce: Captain Bryce, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. Yes, the Orbit is ready for towing.
Host VFCO_Lorehani says:
#CIV:  No,  no...  I can't lay down again... they will get me.
Dr_Aola says:
@:: Turns a shade of red from embarrassment ::
CTO_Jarot says:
::turns to look at Singh and smiles as well::  CSO: Long time no see....
Host Captain_Bryce says:
@CMO:  I'll let the bridge know... ::Turns a moment and speaks into his commbadge  Then turns back.::  Why don't you two join me..  I have some steaks ordered.  ::Motions for the Bartender to bring them drinks as well.::
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#VFCO: They won't get you, not as long as I'm here. Do you know if anyone else ios being held captured here by the aliens?
CTO_Jarot says:
::raises his phaser rifle again::  CSO: Lets head back immediately...  we can't waste anymore time...  ::motions his team to retrace their steps to the maintenance hatch::
CMO_Kymar says:
@::nods and grins for a second at Annie's embarrassment:: Aola: Come on, let's get that drink.

ACTION: The Vesuvius Away Team that was heading for the Bridge breaks into the Bridge.  Damage is everywhere along with bodies.  The aliens look at them and leave a message.. "We will be back."

Dr_Aola says:
@:: Nods and follows the CMO and Captain Bryce ::
CSO_Singh says:
Humph... CTO:  We are by far not wasting anything.  ::Smiles as she follows::
Host VFCO_Lorehani says:
#::Looks at the nice man and slowly gets back up on the bed.::  CIV:  Hmmmm probably some humans from Earth I've seen some around.
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#VFCO: Anyone from the Vesuvius?
CSO_Singh says:
:: Glances back toward the group following her.::  VCTO: This is Commander Jarot.  Commander Jarot, Lt. Liu, Vesuvius' CTO.
CTO_Jarot says:
::grins::  CSO: Yah, yah...  Brian owes me big time... again...  ::glances at Singh as he cautiously heads back to the maintenance hatch::

ACTION:  Suddenly another vortex forms and the three Tetras enter..  They disappear leaving the Luna and Vesuvius alone.

CSO_Singh says:
CTO: You mean you owe me for bringing the help?  ::A smile of relief in her voice as she follows.::
CTO_Jarot says:
::turns to the Lui and shakes his hand::  Lui: I have heard many good things about you, Lieutenant... good to have you aboard...   ::resumes his pace::  ~~~~CSO: I think the other way around....~~~~  ::smiles::
CSO_Singh says:
Ha! :: Waits for him to continue.::
CSO_Singh says:
~~~~ CTO: Another federation ship was dragged through that vortex.  It was Andorian.  All life aboard it was dead and the ship was basically untouched.  I mentioned to the Vesuvius captain it might be needed for our return, given the damage to both of our ships... and loss of numbers.::
Host VFCO_Lorehani says:
#CIV:  So... ::Pulls herself together::  How are we getting out of here Sir?
CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
#VFCO: Only when they want us too it seems
