SD 10203.14

Captain Marc Richard of the USS Iroquois has finally finished the repairs to the fleet of colonists to the Theta Reticulum system and is once again under way to the Tenarus Alpha region. Outpost 1138 must be made operational with all due haste before the fleet of colonists arrive.

If you refer yourself to your previous orders on SD 10202.07, the fleet will layover temporarily at the Outpost then continue underway to the Theta Reticulum system. The USS Iroquois will remain in the Tenarus Region while you and the USS Pharaoh continue on.

Captain Richard will brief you on your journey to Theta Reticulum since he and his ship were originally scheduled to escort the fleet.

CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She doesn't even look up as the Engineer enters the bridge and continues on with her work. She's not sure where the Captain and Commander are, but she would much prefer to have Riggs in the command chair, rather then that...Acamarian...::

# XO: didn't you serve on a New Orleans Riggs?
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV:  Your complaint is noted, Mr. Keindar.
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# ALL: either way the Iroquois offers far more comfort then the Pharaoh. But no worries. As an escort you couldn't have a better starship on this mission
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::turns and looks to the CIV::  CIV: With all due respect sir, I have prior authorization to conduct all standard testing procedures as planned.
CNS_LtJG_Janan says:

Captain_Richard says:
# :: sighs :: CO/XO: Anyways... back to business...These colonists....  there are a few things that you might want to know about them...
XO_Chalen says:
#Richard:  The New Orleans class is a formidable defensive platform, perfect for long range exercises.   A Defiant class is not really meant for long range missions.......
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:

CTO: Fire phasers at the lead...ship target engines.  If the other ships don't slow down, disable their engines as well.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::continue to hail ship with the order to stand down:: CSO: sir I am having no answer.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
OPS: Understood.
Captain_Richard says:
# CO/XO: All our weapons are gone gentlemen.... I_FCO: Get into Tractor range... hurry !
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CNS: As an advisor it is in my capacity to "bother" as I please until I feel that the Pharaoh crew has completed her tasks successfully and in an efficient manner. With your senior staff, I doubt that will ever happen...and I will be trapped here far longer then I anticipated...
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::diverts power::  All: Full power to weapons sir....
XO_Chalen says:
#::hears the CSO's orders::   CO:  They should target to destroy, not disable!  We don't have time to play with kids gloves sir!
CTO_LT_Riker says:
::fires a warning shot to see if they slow::
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# COM: 2nd/3rd Rogue Vessels: Remember, our main target is the Station. It is imperative we take out the main power core.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: That could be the most foolish order I have ever heard...CTO: If you fire and cause an overload in their engine systems, those vessels will implode...you will loose all hands, and all their supplies...
CMO_Releben says:
::calculates the detonation radius were the ships to hit the station::
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::taps on console getting ship within tractor beam range::
CNS_LtJG_Janan says:
::shakes her head and looks to the screen:: CIV: Just put it on hold for half an hour or so and let us do some work in peace, I am sure you will find the crew more amiable if you care to attempt to be friendly, How do you expect everyone to deal with some of these situations if you intend to heckle them constantly.
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# CSO Griffin: Shields to maximum!
CMO_Releben says:
::wonders if CIV's are supposed to be civilized in any way, shape, or form::
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# XO: We made him 2nd officer for a reason Riggs time to trust him
XO_Chalen says:
#::hears the CIV's distracting banter over the open channel with Pharaoh's bridge::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CTO: They're not slowing down.  Destroy those ships!
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks to CSO:: CSO: Orders sir?

ACTION: The Iroquois grabs one of the ships with a tractor beam.

CMO_Releben says:
::scans for weaknesses in the vessels impulse drives::
XO_Chalen says:
#::is angry at his inability to do anything from here::
CTO_LT_Riker says:
CIV: sacrifice the few to save the many   MS Keindar that’s something they would have taught you if u had attended star fleet academy 
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# Self: got one!
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Sir we are in tractor beam rang.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CNS: If you did your job properly I would not be assigned here to "heckle" now I advice that you shut up, continue on with your duties and allow me to attend to mine. Is that understood Lieutenant?
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# COM: 3rd SHIP: Heinrich! HEINRICH!! 
CTO_LT_Riker says:
::arms quantum torpedoes and fires::
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# CSO Griffin: We lost them. We have to keep going!
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CTO: I did Lieutenant...and I believe that there is a more acceptable solution. An EM pulse should temporarily disable their engines...

ACTION: 	The ship in the Tractor beam... overtaxes his engines
The other 2 ships continue on towards the station

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::continues to tap on console and grows annoyed at the CIV::

CTO_LT_Riker says:
CIV: unlike certain people I know I FOLLOW orders.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Engage tractor beam on the closest ship.
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# :: moves behind the Iroquois's CTO and watches the TAC scans ::
CMO_Releben says:
CIV: And disable everything else in the area unless configured appropriately young lady....
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CMO: If you run an inverse scan on the subspace band you will be able to modulate the deflector to create an EM pulse with an inverse polarity to the energy output of the shields and engines...successfully collapsing their energy output...
CNS_LtJG_Janan says:
CIV: Once that orders comes from a Commanding officer on the Pharaoh I would be keen to oblige, but when in doubt of the person giving orders, well this becomes another issue.
Captain_Richard says:
# CO/XO: The rest of the group are fine folks.... it's just a few of them
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Aye sir....   ::engages tractor on lead ship::
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# COM: USS Pharaoh: May your deaths and those on the starbase serve the greater glory of the RULER OF THE COSMOS!
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CNS: Doubt of not...your rank requires you to follow orders...
CTO_LT_Riker says:
Self: doesn’t understand why a CIVILIAN advisor was given bridge clearance she could advise from off the bridge
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# Richard: a few of the folks who want to suicide bomb the outpost?

ACTION: The tractor beam misses the lead ship

CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# Richard: what kind of situation are we in here with these colonist?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Keep trying, Ensign.
CMO_Releben says:
::reconfigures and attempts again::  CSO: Aye sir.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Fire at will.
Captain_Richard says:
# :: nods :: CO: I don't pretend to understand them.... they were just very very... strange
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CMO: Disabling them is better then destroying them...would that not be a more acceptable solution at the time? We have reinforcements, they...do not.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::sees the tractor miss and boosts the targeting scanners::
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# CSO Griffin: Nearly there ........
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::looks to the CSO::  CSO: Permission to speak freely sir?

ACTION: The second ship is caught... the lead ship continues on

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CEO: Go ahead, Lieutenant.
CNS_LtJG_Janan says:
::glances across to Eli::
CMO_Releben says:
::gives the CIV a "you want fries with that" look and maintains the tractor lock::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CTO: We have one of the ships, target the lead vessel.
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# COM *PHAROAH* There's still one ship free, open fire
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# ::sees the 2nd ship is falling behind ... unable to help, the lead ship continues::
CTO_LT_Riker says:
CSO:  Aye.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CEO: Yes, Lieutenant?
CMO_Releben says:
::attempts to overload the ship's engines with a feedback loop::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CTO: You open fire and you will be signing those people's death sentence, and be guaranteeing the removal of Commander Starks command...
CNS_LtJG_Janan says:
CIV: Rank or no rank until the second officer gives that command I will defy it.

ACTION: The ship in the Iroquois tractor beam explodes.. it's engines overloaded

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
CSO: We clearly have a Red Alert situation here.  Perhaps Mr. Keindar should leave the bridge or remain silent...
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# :: grabs TAC station as the Iroquois shakes from the smaller ships explosion ::

ACTION: The ship in the Pharaoh tractor beam explodes.. it's engines overloaded as well

Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# ::enhances shield modulation with a rotating frequency of 6.9 Khz::
XO_Chalen says:
#ALL:  Brace for impact!  ::prepares for the shock wave::
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::silently agrees with the CEO::
CNS_LtJG_Janan says:
::nods:: CIV: Or perhaps we could arrange another conversation, there is obviously a lack of respect which I have for you that could be addressed. ::smiles again::
Captain_Richard says:
# Self: Khest... Khest.. Khest !
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Try and tractor the remaining ship!
CMO_Releben says:
CIV: Sounds as they are pretty committed to that result already..... can I get you a tranquilizer?
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CSO: I suggest maybe even restraining the Lt. in his quarters till later.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::grabs edges of his seat.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CEO: I will remain where I choose Lieutenant...::Still at the back of the bridge::...being a commissioned officer with senior authority I have authorization to be here...and only two officers can officially authorize my removal, Commander Starks, and Admiral Haydes...
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::turns back to engineering console as the ship explodes::  ALL: JEEZ!!!  Hold on.....
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Aye sir!  ::tries for the final ship::
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# COM: Pharaoh/Iroquois: FOR THE GLORY OF THE GREAT SALAMANDER!
CNS_LtJG_Janan says:
::blinks looking back to the CEO::

ACTION: The Pharaoh's tractor beam overloads

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
All: Stand down on the CIVs behavior until this incident is concluded....that is an order.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Do whatever you have to destroy that ship!
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
CSO: want me to hail the captain for the order of removal, sir?
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# Self: come on Pharoah..Fire!
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::taps board::  All: The tractor is overloading...   I can't stop it!!
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::plots an intercept course for the last ship::
CTO_LT_Riker says:
::fires::
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Tractor is overloading, making one final attempt sir.   ::disengages the beam and diverts auxiliary power for one final attempt::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Cease tractor attempts.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Sir, I have an intercept course plotted, should I engage?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Absolutely, Ensign.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She grabs a hold to a wall console as the Pharaoh rocks from the nearby explosion:: CSO: Once again, I would like to suggest my theory of an electromagnetic pulse...
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::reading energy fluctuations::

ACTION: The Pharaoh's tractor beam in now non-functional.. completely overloaded

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
*Engineering* Reinforce the bulkhead in the Tractor Beam closet with a forcefield level 6.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::taps on console on course to intercept::
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# ::begins ranting over the com:: COM: Pharaoh/Iroquois: "And the Salamander shone forth to Leon, who held the sacred leaf of Heaven ......
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Uh.... disregard that sir..... the tractor is gone.... time of death.... now.....
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Sir , we are on course to intercept.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: Whether you like it or not...it has a higher percent chance of succeeding...chasing them down will get us no-where.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
CSO: Tractor Beam is completely inoperable.  Orders?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CEO: Full power to weapons and shields.
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::thinking to self where is a Vulcan and his Vulcan pinch when you need them::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV: What do you suggest, Mr. Keindar?

ACTION: The freighter is 2 minutes away from the station

CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::turns back to the ENG console:: CSO: Full Power Aye.....   ::transfers Warp Power to shields and weapons::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CTO: The ship is now too close...attempts to disable her engines!
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Sir we are directly behind that ship.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: Modulate you deflector to emit an EM pulse, inverse to the freighters energy output. With the older design it will be able for our sensors to establish a frequency lock. Emitting the inverse pulse you should be able to disable their systems, while protecting our own...
Captain_Richard says:
# :: turns to the CO and XO :: All: We can't reach them in time... can your ship stop them ?
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV:  Proceed, Lieutenant.
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# COM: Pharaoh/Iroquois: "....... and in the heat of the holy 'Burning Stone', Leon thrust the Leaf of Heaven skyward and shouted NOW IS THE TIME FOR JUSTICE ......."
CMO_Releben says:
::configures the deflector dish to fire an EMP at the vessel... having locked onto it briefly, has gotten all the data he needs::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Continue attempts to disable the ships engines.
XO_Chalen says:
#Cap Richard:  That's what quantum torpedoes were made for, sir.
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# Richard: let's pray they can
CTO_LT_Riker says:
CSO: aye
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She nods and begins scans of the freighters and begins to sequence the energy pattern into the Defiant's deflector array:: CSO: Preparing...
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
CSO: Suggest that we fire on the ship now while we are still at a safe distance from the station.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CEO: We are firing, Lieutenant.
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Sir, I may be able to configure an EMP to disable their systems.  I have enough data of their systems from the momentary lock he established....

ACTION: The Pharaoh's fire is bouncing on the freighter's shields

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Proceed with attempts, Ensign.
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She smiles:: CSO: Lock established...::She begins to access Engineer and Tactical console from her console and routes the commands to the deflector:: CSO: Ready to fire on your order...
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV:  Proceed, Lieutenant.
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# ::is shaken from his reverie by the phaser blasts on his shields::
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Aye sir.   ::makes final calculations and fires::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::falls to floor as ship shakes briefly::
Flt_Officer_Simons says:
# COM: Pharaoh: You cannot divert our holy mission, Federation slaves!
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She transmits the EMP data to the Ensign and fires the electromagnetic pulse in sequence with Ensign Releben:: CSO: Firing...
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
::holding on to console and wishing they had seat belts for these chairs::

ACTION: The deflector fire triggers an explosion and the ship explodes

CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::shakes with the explosion::  CTO: Damage report!
Captain_Richard says:
# : :sighs ::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::notices shield strength dip slightly from the explosion then recover::
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# :: let's out a deep breath and let's go of the Iroquois Tactical station ::
CMO_Releben says:
::raises an eyebrow and thinks he'll enjoy the CIV's antics::
XO_Chalen says:
#::still reved up::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
::She watches as the vessel explodes and checks her readings:: CSO: Sensor readings coming in.  Freighter vessel destroyed...all hands lost...::She looks almost sad::
CMO_Releben says:
::doesn't buy it::
CTO_LT_Riker says:
CSO: no damage to us or the station
OPS_Lt_Castillo says:
All: so much for prisoners or getting information from them
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV:  You're empathy for those people is misplaced...they would have gladly killed us all.
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
::deploys damage control parties through out ship::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Very good, Lieutenant.
Captain_Richard says:
# :: turns to Starks and Chalen :: CO/XO: How about that drink ?  I could sure use it.. .I'll begin the briefing you need as well
XO_Chalen says:
#::visibly angry at how long it took a warship like Pharaoh to destroy three smaller vessels::
CIV_Lt_Keindar says:
CSO: Quite true...however you can never be sure now that the crew was not hijacked...a few radicals could have helped that crew walk into their deaths...
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# Richard: Aye sir
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
COM: Iroquois:  The final ship has been destroyed...no casualties on the Pharaoh or Outpost 1138
XO_Chalen says:
#CO:  I'd like to return to Pharaoh and help with damage control, sir.
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
CIV: So be it.  Better few than many.
CMO_Releben says:
*CEO* Sir, this is Ens Releben.  Submitting a work request for the tractor beam.  It has overloaded.
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# Com: *Pharaoh* Acknowledged, dock at 1138 and get me a report
CO_Cmdr_Starks says:
# ::nods at XO::
XO_Chalen says:
#::thinks to himself, things are going to CHANGE on that ship.  Time for it to live up to it's title of warship::
XO_Chalen says:
::heads to TR::
CEO_LtJG_Irvin says:
*CMO* Already deploying the damage control parties.....
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
::stands:: Bridge Crew: Nice work folks.  CIV:  We need to have a one-to-one, off-the-record discussion in the very near future.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
::let's out a sigh of relief::
CSO_LT_Brehgorn says:
FCO: Dock us at the outpost, Ensign.
FCO_Ens_Frost says:
CSO: Aye LT.
