<<<Begin mission>>>
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::adjusting tactical console to familiar configuration::
Host CO_Starks says:
:: sitting in the hard chair going over a PADD of repair notes from CPO Zimmerman ::
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: looks up from the CON to the Captain :: CO: ETA 15 minutes Sir.
CSO_Sovok says:
::Sits in his seat aboard a temporary assignment and checks sensors::
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: thank you Lt.
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain, I recommend we engage yellow alert.
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: looks to the CTO and thinks the tactical officers worry too much... prepares a few evasive maneuvers... just in case ::
Host CO_Starks says:
ALL: before we arrive I just want to thank you all for joining us on this mission. I know this wasn't your assignments but with the regular crew gone Starfleet needed the Pharaoh to investigate this planet ASAP
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: make it so Lt. Brehgorn
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::initiates yellow alert::
CSO_Sovok says:
::Glances around the bridge, looking for familiar faces... Feels a little out of place being somewhere he has never been before, looks at the CO as he talks and nods::
Host CO_Starks says:
CSO: full sensor scan Lt Sovok
CSO_Sovok says:
CO: Aye, Sir.
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::runs tactical sensors for signs of space born ships::
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: weapons at the ready. the Romulans are here often and I don't want us getting caught with our pants down
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::brings phasers and photons online::  Weapons at ready, sir.
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::also brings quantum torpedoes online::
CSO_Sovok says:
::Glances over at the CTO and seems to recognize something...Ignores it and looks back at his console::
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CSO: Lieutenant...did you serve aboard the Kootenai?
CSO_Sovok says:
::Turns back around again:: CTO: Yes, as a matter of fact, I still do.
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CSO: Nice to see you again...I thought you looked familiar...perhaps you recognize me as Ensign or LtJG Brehgorn?
XO_Riker says:
::punches a few buttons:: Self:  hmmmmmmmm  fascinating 
Host CO_Starks says:
XO: Mr. Riker keep an ear open for any subspace radio traffic, passive only
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: looks once more at the unfamiliar console of the Pharaoh’s helm and attempts to push the correct buttons ::
CSO_Sovok says:
CTO: Yes, I remember you now. Nice to see you again.
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::notices data on the CSO's sensors and focuses back on duties::
Host CO_Starks says:
:: sees hesitation on the FCO's face ::
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: don't worry she almost drives herself...except for that time we crashed on a Class O planet
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO:...but how many times could that happen
XO_Riker says:
::starts to contact Bri when he remembers she’s not on board  looks at  a picture of them  on there last leave together and thinks about how much he misses her:: Self: I was going to propose to her tonight...........I miss her so much 
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: looks back :: CO: May I ask if the Captain was driving ? :: smiles :: Ummm.. Sir ?
CSO_Sovok says:
CO: Scans have finished sir...M class planet, no inhabitants, and an ambient temperature of about 105 degrees F.
Host Klord says:
Action: the Pharaoh enters the system
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: Drop to impulse standard orbit
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
CO: Entering the system Captain... Impulse in 3.... 2... 1.... Impulse engaged.
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::feeling a bit anxious...runs scans for traces of a cloaked vessel::
Host CO_Starks says:
:: stand and goes to the CSO station ::
CSO_Sovok says:
::looks over his shoulder up at the CO and smiles slightly, glancing back down at his console::
Host CO_Starks says:
XO: lead an away team yourself and Mr. Sovok please
XO_Riker says:
CO: aye  Captain 
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: plots a standard orbital approach :: CO: Aye Captain... Standard orbit.
CSO_Sovok says:
::Stands up from his console:: CO: Aye, Sir.
Host CO_Starks says:
XO/CSO: see what you can find out down there
XO_Riker says:
CSO: Mr. Sovok  meet me in the transporter room in  3 minutes
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: keep a lock on the away team
CSO_Sovok says:
XO: I'll just follow you there, Sir.
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  Understood, sir.
XO_Riker says:
::looks at the co:: CO: standard equipment Sir?
CSO_Sovok says:
::Wishes he was raised on Vulcan so he could be more prepared for heat..::
Host CO_Starks says:
XO: yes, no reason to believe that there's anything there to find...yet
XO_Riker says:
CO: aye. ::leaves the  bridge and heads to the  weapons locker to pick up 2 phasers and 2 tricorders:: 
CSO_Sovok says:
::Follows to XO to get a tricorder ::
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: looks down at the helm and feels more confident :: CO: Permission to monitor tactical on my board until the CTO returns Captain ?
XO_Riker says:
::gets  the stuff we'll need and  heads to the TR:: 
CTO_Brehgorn says:
FCO: I'm not going anywhere, LT.
CSO_Sovok says:
::Follows in close pursuit with the XO::
XO_Riker says:
::when we  get to the  TR  hands  Sovok a phaser and a tricorder::
CSO_Sovok says:
::Takes both of them and nods at the XO, putting them on his belt::
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: blinks and thinks he should pay more attention to who is sent on the away team :: CTO: Sorry Sir.... I've confused you and ... the other you Sir
XO_Riker says:
::looks to the  transporter chief:: TC: energize 
XO_Riker says:
::dematerializes/rematerializes on planet surface::
Host Klord says:
Action: the AT arrives on the planet
EO_Tekko says:
::enters the bridge and logs into the engineering station.. turns and glances at the crew around her.. her medium white hair braided and pulled back from her blue face::
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: The AT is on the planet surface.  I have a lock on both members.
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Squints at the heat::
Host CO_Starks says:
:: nods to CTO ::
Host Klord says:
Action: the surface is dusty and winds gust at 35 mph. caves are nearby in the cliffs
XO_Riker says:
@CSO:  let’s  check out those caves over there ::points::
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Motions to the XO to lead the way and opens his tricorder::
Host CO_Starks says:
EO: Lt. keep an eye on the tactical systems and propulsion. We were pushed outta dry dock too soon and I don't want us falling apart if we have a firefight
XO_Riker says:
@CSO:  Hot  ain't it  LT  
Host CO_Starks says:
:: moves to the CSO console and tries to bring up planetary sensors ::
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Chuckles:: XO: Indeed, Sir.
EO_Tekko says:
CO: aye sir.. umm anything in particular I should know about?
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Captain, I am picking up several warp signatures in this area of space.  ::tries to find the source and analyze whether they are of Romulan origin::
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: spies the EO enter the bridge and smiles and nods politely ::
Host CO_Starks says:
EO: nothing for now just know that we may not be all put back together. 
XO_Riker says:
@::enters the  cave and looks around:: 
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  The signatures are definitely of Romulan origin...they have been here often in the recent past.
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: can you isolate their locations or rate of decay?
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: how old are the signatures?
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Glances at his tricorder, wondering what might be inside...::
EO_Tekko says:
CO: right sir.. ::moseys over to the science station and starts up a diagnostic just to be on the safe side.. smirks at the FCO  and goes back to work::
Host CO_Starks says:
:: moves to center chair ::
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: I have there locations ::puts them on main screen::  I will attempt to analyze their rate of decay ::focuses scans to determine the age of the traces::
XO_Riker says:
@CSO: I have a bad feeling  Sovok.  Be ready for any thing 
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* Away team, this is Pharaoh. How's it going down there Tim?
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: here's the CTO's comment and thinks tactical officers may not be that paranoid after all ::
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Draws his phaser and sets it to stun, even though scans indicated no life-forms... Something wasn't right with this civilized cave::
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* we can't pick up much because of atmospheric disturbances
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  The traces are quite recent.
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: keep your fingers on the shields and be ready to have the away team beamed up....just in case
XO_Riker says:
*CO* Its  hot sir  dang  hot other than that it’s  dusty  we found some caves and are checking them out now 
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Continues to scan, wondering what all of this was for...::
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* acknowledged
XO_Riker says:
*CO*anything in particular we should be looking for  Capt. 
CSO_Sovok says:
@*CO*: Sir... There seems to be evidence of a civilization...
EO_Tekko says:
::monitors the engines and shield generators::
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: I recommend we upgrade to red alert, sir.
Host CO_Starks says:
*CSO* the kind of civilization that would interest the Romulans Lt?
EO_Tekko says:
FCO: can you check the non-essential power list and see what’s running on grid 4?
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: hold on that we still have men down below
CSO_Sovok says:
@*CO*: Looks fairly old, sir... There is an altar.. ::Walks further back into the cave:: And more caves behind the altar...
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: aye, sir.
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
EO: Sure Lt... :: looks to the secondary display ::
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* learn as much as you can. We may have company. I'll keep you posted Pharaoh out
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Kneels down at the sight of some shattered artifacts:: *CO*: I'm taking some artifact samples for dating..
EO_Tekko says:
CTO; can the sensors pick up any ionic or ionized materials near the AT?
XO_Riker says:
@::finds  skeletons and some kind of primitive weapons:: CSO: over here I may have something 
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Turns towards the XO and walks over to his position, looking down at the skeletal remains::
Host Klord says:
Action: two Romulan warbirds decloak and immediately open fire
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: red alert shields!
Host Klord says:
Action: transporters whine and Romulans appear in the mouth of the cave....
EO_Tekko says:
::watches as her console blinks before the ships rocks::
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: Evasives!
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Aye, sir. ::initiates red alert, raises shields::
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Shall I return fire, sir?
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: return fire!
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Turns at the noise and aims his phaser at the Romulans::
XO_Riker says:
@CSO: take cover
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: prepares some evasive maneuvers :: CO: Ready to break orbit Captain.
EO_Tekko says:
::begins to assess damage and reroute power::
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Fires at one and dive rolls behind the altar::
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::launches full spread of photon torpedoes at incoming ships, followed by phaser blasts::
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: do you have a lock on the AT?
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Yes, sir.
EO_Tekko says:
CO: direct hit.. hull breach deck 2.. force field holding.. minor interior damage.. shield holding in sector 6
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: don't break orbit yet. 
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Looks out from behind the altar and takes another shot, increasing the power of his phaser::
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: set course 180.0.1 straight between them. engage!
XO_Riker says:
@CSO: take  left  ill take  right  well  try to  flank them and  come up behind them 
EO_Tekko says:
:;swallows and increases power to the shields and deflector array::
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: nods and smiles :: CO: Aye Captain... :: engages at full impulse ::
CSO_Sovok says:
@XO: That’s probably not the best idea, Sir.
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: at 400 meters let loose hell until then hold your fire
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.
XO_Riker says:
@CSO:  you  got a better one :)
CSO_Sovok says:
@XO: Back into the caves. Ambush them.
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* Away team we under attack stand by. we can't beam you up yet
EO_Tekko says:
::taps away at the console::
XO_Riker says:
@*CO*  acknowledged   pharaoh  we have company down here as well
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::as the ship reaches 400 feet, CTO launches another full spread of photon torpedoes, accompanied by hefty phaser blasts::
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* hold out as long as you can
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Glances around the corner, trying to get a figure on how many there are::
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: pitch starboard 90 degrees come about full impulse
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: target the lead ships weapons
XO_Riker says:
@::sets a trip wire and  moves back:: 
Host CO_Starks says:
EO: get damage control teams on call
EO_Tekko says:
CO: sir.. recommend you use torpedoes.. lock their guidance array on the Romulan warp signature and let’s run..
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: grins even more :: CO: Aye Sir  90 degrees starboard ... coming about
CSO_Sovok says:
@XO: I didn't know we had explosives, Sir... Nice job. ::Backs off with him.
XO_Riker says:
@CSO:  if  we can seal them in  I know of another way we maybe able to get out 
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::targets the lead ships weapons and unleashes quantum torpedoes::
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: ::looks at EO :: You heard the lady make it so!
EO_Tekko says:
CO
CSO_Sovok says:
@XO: Do we really want to test the structural integrity of this cave, Sir?
XO_Riker says:
@CSO its  not an explosive I used my  phaser to loosen the rock and when  the roomies  hit that  wire  it will trigger a cave in
EO_Tekko says:
CO: aye sir.. deck2 and 6 secure.. re-routing power from secondary systems and dumping into the phasers..
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::lock guidance array on the Romulan warp signature, fires, and looks at the FCO to take off::
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: as soon as you have a clearing head right for the planet's southern pole, we need to get the away team up
EO_Tekko says:
::reroutes to shields.. :: CO: engines are hot captain.. 
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: stand by to drop shields!
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Aye, sir.
Host CO_Starks says:
EO: transfer all shield power to the warp engines
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: nods :: CO: Understood Sir... South pole it is.. I'll do the maneuver when we get behind the planet... hopefully they won't spot us when we go down there.
CSO_Sovok says:
@XO: I've got a better idea... Set your phaser to wide beam, I'll walk out with my hands raised... When they think they're going to capture me, jump out and fire. Wide beam stun should take care of all of us.
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: lock onto the AT
Host Klord says:
Action: the Warbirds keep up their fire
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO:  Lock is established.
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* we have to beam you up now Tim!
EO_Tekko says:
::routes sickbay to run off secondary power systems and shuts down general quarters.. re-enforces the deflectors::
Host Klord says:
The Pharaoh shakes with each impact
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Hears the COMM and likes that idea better::
XO_Riker says:
*CO* Acknowledged   Capt.
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: drop shields! and energize!
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::drops shields, beams out AT, and waits feverishly to raise shields back up::
Host Klord says:
Action: when the shields drop the ship is hit
Host CO_Starks says:
:: shakes hard with the ship ::
EO_Tekko says:
CO: transporters are out!
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: did we get them?
CSO_Sovok says:
@::Wonders why he isn't being energized..::
CTO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Negative, sir.
Host CO_Starks says:
CTO: shields up!
XO_Riker says:
@CSO: take cover  something’s wrong
Host CO_Starks says:
 FCI: Evasives full impulse
Host CO_Starks says:
EO: I need transporters Lt! How long?
CTO_Brehgorn says:
::raises shields::
CSO_Sovok says:
@XO: Back into the Caves, I just got a look... There are way too many of them.
EO_Tekko says:
CO: no sir.. ::looks a bit annoyed:: that last strike took out the ISO array around the buffers.. fudge.. I just got that working!
Host CO_Starks says:
EO: how long Lt?!
EO_Tekko says:
CO: umm.. ::pulls at hair:: an hour at best
Host CO_Starks says:
Self: Damn!
EO_Tekko says:
CO: I'll get on it.. ::turns to leave the bridge::
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* we can't beam you up, were taking heavy fire. We have to come back for you when we can. take cover. and hold out that's an order!
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: puts the ship in the most complex maneuvers he knows ::
XO_Riker says:
::doesn't know transporters are out:: @*Pharaoh*  Now  would be a good  time  chief 
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: Lt.
EO_Tekko says:
::leaves the bridge and heads for the transports in the cargo bay.. hoping those will work::
Host CO_Starks says:
FCO: break orbit get us out of here maximum warp
XO_Riker says:
::doesn’t know transporters are out:: @*Pharaoh*  aye Capt. 
CSO_Sovok says:
@XO: Sir! The caves! ::Takes off into the caves so he can still see the XO and watches as the Romulans approach::
Host CO_Starks says:
*XO* we WILL be back for you! Pharaoh out
FCO_Lt_Steer says:
:: nods :: Aye Captain... almost sighs ::
Host Klord says:
