USS Pharaoh
SD 10209.26
Mission #199

And so it was that, several hours later, a lone Federation starship ventured out of its own space into the proscribed space of the Romulan Neutral Zone, and found trespassing there by the ChR Red Talon. The Federation ship tried to escape, but it was too far into the Zone to make it back into its own space before being caught by Red Talon and

brought to battle. The engagement was brief and fierce, characterized by a virtuoso set of evasive maneuvers by the Pharaoh’s helmsman and the dogged, never-say-die pursuit of the Red Talon; but it the end virtuosity was not enough to save the Federation ship, one of whose engines overloaded during a particularity high power turn-and-fire maneuver.

Red Talon was quick to exploit the problem, and though she took some hurt herself in the exchange of fire that followed, she blow a hole 10 meters long in the Pharaoh’s starboard nacelle. Red Talon began raining phaser fire on the Pharaoh’s weakening shields. Number four went down, and others followed; a great many Romulans beamed aboard the ship,

into the Bridge, securing it before the Pharaoh’s own security intruder-defense system could act. They took that advantage… gassing most of the crew into unconsciousness and locking them up, then confining the Commanding Officer and Bridge crew and threatening him with the death of his whole crew unless he unconditionally surrendered his ship.

Faced with the inevitable, he did so. For only the 3rd time in Federation history, a living commanding officer gave up his command and was locked away to await trial with various of his officers. And a Romulan Commander stood proudly on a Federation starship’s bridge, called Romulan High Command and informed them that she had captured the USS Pharaoh.

The Red Talon is on route to Levarie Station with the Pharaoh in tow.

CMO: Not sure... but I am fine.
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: How long til we reach the starbase?
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: A very Klingon answer of you.  Lie still and let me run one more scan.
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::Checks the sensors::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She glances down at the large diagram of this region of space, and checks their location on the low powered scanners:: CTO: Ensign Gem, if I may have a word with you for a moment...::She motions for the Tactical Officer to come over to her display with a smile and wave of her hand::

CO_Starks says:
RCO_TRhieu: as ready as they are going to be, now how do we locate the Starfleet officer's once we are there?
CO_Starks says:
:: sighs:: *CEO* give me the bad news first
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Anything I can do?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
*CO* The transporter cycle sequence isn't completed and is going to take just a little more time than we have.
FCO_Khrex says:
::sits back at the helm::
CNS_K`Eloda says:
CMO:  when can I get to my duties?
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: pray much?
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::eyes the Romulan Commander suspiciously, just waiting for her to beam off and to see 10 Warbirds decloak on all sides::

CO_Starks says:
*CEO* do what you can Starks out
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Not recently, but I am a fast learner
CMO_Releben says:
CNS: You appear to have a great deal of previous head trauma.  I will not ask where or when they occurred, but I am sure it's an interesting story.  You are free to go.
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:   Run a computer simulation and make sure we can bring Main power online in time to do some damage.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She taps several controls and brings up a diagram of what Starfleet Intel believes this station looks like:: CTO: I would advise targeting our weapon systems here, and here...I'd advise taking out the primary weapon systems here, and defensive shields here...our Intel believes the Science Labs will be located here...
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi: Commander, you got the message probe away safely I assume?
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  It should be near its target by now, Sir.
CNS_K`Eloda says:
CMO:  Thank you.....
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi: very good
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::shakes head:: Self: Guess he didn't care about the good news. ::closes the access port on the emitter scanner system, gathers tools and scoots out from under the transporter pad::
RCO_TRhieu says:
::shows the station's plans on the PADD:: CO: I assume they will kept in this area on level 5.... but that station is classified even to Ship Commander... it is still an assumption
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
XO:  I believe we can get main power back in an instant, but I'll keep checking it.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::As she taps the screen she looks up at the CTO::...This will be our key attacking zone, I'd advise deploying the anti-matter missiles here, and here...it should cause the most effective damage. Once the shields are down, we'll begin transport of the plasma coolant...sound good?
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::Hits a couple more keys on his panel, studying the read outs::

XO_Chalen says:
FCO:   Remember that you'll be limited to thrusters until main power is back online.   That shouldn't take long, but be sure to keep us in one piece until we can make impulse and warp maneuvers again.
FCO_Khrex says:
::checking flight systems::
CNS_K`Eloda says:
::gets up and heads out of sickbay::
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: tight security no doubt
CMO_Releben says:
::nods to the CNS and watches as she nearly runs from sickbay::
RCO_TRhieu says:
::nods::
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: Your show, how do we proceed?
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: No problem here. I once outmaneuvered a Mark-18 with thrusters only at the academy!
CTO_Gem says:
::stands next to Xia, looking at where she's pointing and considering the possibilities:: CIV: Looks good.
CNS_K`Eloda says:
*CO*  this is CNS K`Eloda, where do you need me?  I just got released from sickbay Sir.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::walks over to the transporter console and hits the intraship com:: *Clark* Mr. Clark... I'm beginning the cycle one step at a time. Place the test beacon on the pad in there (transporter room 2) and step through with me. The consoles have been tied together.

FCO:  Excellent.   I hope you still remember your academy tricks.   ::grins::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Stands watching and waiting patiently::

ACTION: 2 D'deridex class ships appear on Long Range Sensors on an intercept course

CMO_Releben says:
Self: Hmm... perhaps I should take advantage of this pauses before things get ugly.  ::stands and goes to his replicator::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: Captain...I'm picking up two Romulan vessels.

OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::wonders idly if they could break away from the tractor beam if necessary::
CO_Starks says:
:: hears the CNS :: *CNS* report to the bridge
FCO_Khrex says:
XO: I'm not a level 5 pilot for nothing. We have more tricks coming out of our sleeves than magicians!
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CTO: If you want to oversee primary weapon systems, I'll work on defensive operations, and adapting our weapon's frequencies to the Romulan shields. Also, I would advise deploying security forces on all decks...if we loose shields, I don't want to be overtaken by boarding parties...::She smiles and taps her phaser::...and stay armed.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CO: D'deeridex class...on an intercept course.
XO_Chalen says:
*ALL*    All hands, man battle stations!
CNS_K`Eloda says:
CO:  aye Sir.
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
XO:  Alert mode?
Cmdr_Horn says:
FCO: There should be some extra flight maneuvers in the database from when I was FCO
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi: keep our power levels as is
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: don't power up the weapons or tactical sensors
RCO_TRhieu says:
CO: First we must convince... the "escorts"... that you are our prisoner Commander
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::sighs::  CO:  Understood.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
<CPO_Clark> *CEO* Aye Sir....
CNS_K`Eloda says:
::heads to turbolift and says bridge::
XO_Chalen says:
OPS:   Keep us in low operating mode, no alert status, but I want our people ready in case we need to power up.
CTO_Gem says:
CIV: I'll handle primary weapon systems. ::smiles:: And... I'm always armed.
CO_Starks says:
RCO_TRhieu: Then I believe this chair is your  ::stands::

FCO_Khrex says:
Cmdr_Horn: I prefer my own maneuvers. Never really liked the thought of a computer flying a ship.
CMO_Releben says:
::locks down the sickbay doors and retrieves his phaser from his office::  Self:  And so it begins....
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::quietly wonders if the actions in the near future, while obvious violations of the Treaty of Algeron and the Prime Directive, will propel the Federation and the Romulan Empire into a full-scale war::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::nods at the XO::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::readies the sequence with no buffer power:: ::engages the pattern scanners on low power mode::
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: good precaution, but with two warbirds......
RCO_TRhieu says:

::walks down towards the CO::  CO:  I am the CNS, here for duty Sir
CTO_Gem says:
::heads back to her station::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
SO: Stand with me and look...well....captured.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CTO: Very good, Ensign. Thank you for your assistance...::She turns to the XO and walks up to him, handing over a PADD with their full tactical report:: XO: All tactical systems report ready...we're as ready as we'll ever be, Commander...I do have some theory's about those Romulan vessels...if you'd like to hear them...
XO_Chalen says:
CTO, CIV:    If they don't fall for this, be ready to fight.............. and win.

CO_Starks says:
CNS_K`Eloda: hell of a first day Ensign. Take a seat ::points to an aux station::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::looks at the Klingon woman and eyes open wide when she hears it is the new Counselor::
SO_Ens_Raja says:
CSO: I'll Tr-r-ry.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::completes Event #1::
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:  Go ahead.
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::resolves not to have any personal problems in the near future::
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::Hairs on the back of his neck begin to rise up::
CNS_K`Eloda says:
CO:  yes Sir it was.. :: heads to the seat the CO motioned.::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
SO: Keep ready...this is a hairy situation, and my gut tells me that things could turn south at the blink of an eye.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She taps the PADD, showing a display of the Defiant class:: XO: If we vent plasma as part of the "illusion" of damage, we could begin to fill this system with highly ignitable plasma particles. A simple photo explosion could trigger the plasma, and if we were ahead of the shockwave, we could avoid most major damage...sir...
CO_Starks says:
Cmdr_Horn: Alex, once we're inside we won't have long to locate our people, feel up to an incursion mission?
CTO_Gem says:
XO: Sir. Couldn't this lead to war?
SO_Ens_Raja says:
CSO: Yes Sir-r-r. I'll stay on my paws
CMO_Releben says:
::prepares several trays for emergency procedures and sets them near the biobeds::
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   Good thought, but we'd be more likely to take damage then to seriously effect the Romulans.    Now if we were in a Nebula instead of venting the gas ourselves we could attempt a "Riker Maneuver", but I don't think it could work as is.    Besides, I'm more worried about that base.
Cmdr_Horn says:
CO: Anytime ::smiles at the CO::
XO_Chalen says:
CTO:    Only if we fail.      Just so you remember.............  that's not an option.    ::grins at the CTO::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::sees and error in the sequence and sighs:: ::taps out a text message and sends to the command chair hoping that James will get it:: *CO* James... I need you or Verdi down here... I've got a small problem.
CNS_K`Eloda says:
::watches what is going on the bridge::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::overhears the XO and smiles::

ACTION: The lead Romulan ship hails the ships.

CO_Starks says:
*CEO* be there as soon as I can
CTO_Gem says:
::chuckles at the Commander's grin, she likes confidence::
RCO_Braccus says:
@COM:Pharaoh: This is the Bloodwing... what is your status ?
CO_Starks says:
*CMO* doctor, how fast can you do some cosmetic surgery?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She nods:: XO: We could cut off the plasma stream before igniting it, however your views are sound. I will keep the option as a possible..."back-up plan" shall we say? ::She smiles and goes back to her post::
CMO_Releben says:
::listens intently to the ship-wide and bridge comms::
CO_Starks says:
:: stands off to the side of the bridge and whispers to the comm ::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  A communication from the Bloodwing.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::before response::  All:  Time for the game faces!
CMO_Releben says:
*CO* How fast do you need it Skip?
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::watches intently, learning as much as he can::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  Would you like it on screen?
CO_Starks says:
*CMO*  ::continues to whisper very fast, I'll be sending down your patients soon
CMO_Releben says:
::unlocks the doors and prepares::  *CO* Understood Skip.
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
COM:  Bloodwing:  Standby.
CMO_Releben says:

CSO_Brehgorn: Report to sickbay for an away mission under Commander Horn
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Begins to feel like she never the ship. Seems like old times::
XO_Chalen says:
::walks to Starks and whispers::   CO:   Away team?    You got a plan?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::taps intraship com and whispers:: *CIV* Irvin to Xia...
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::whispers::  CO: Aye, sir. ::makes his way off the bridge out of the range of the viewscreen::
RCO_TRhieu says:

CTO_Gem says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: Away team? 
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::looking up at the viewscreen::
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: Our people are deep in the base the Doc is going to alter the AT to look Romulan, I've got Horn leading it, I'm sure you can guess why.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She taps her badge and speaks softly into the device:: *CEO*: Lt. Commander Xia here, what is it Lieutenant?
CTO_Gem says:
CO: Sir. I'm Romulan. Couldn't I go?
XO_Chalen says:
<w> CO:   At least she's making herself useful.
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: I need one more for the team, are you up for it?
RCO_Braccus says:
@::nods:: COM:Pharaoh: Commander.... I am honored you remember... I am here to escort you and your possession
CTO_Gem says:

XO_Chalen says:
<w>  CTO:   We'll need you here more than ever, Ensign.
CO_Starks says:
CTO_Gem: report to sickbay
XO_Chalen says:
<w> CO:  Sir?
XO_Chalen says:
<w>  CO:  Don
RCO_TRhieu says:
::smiles:: COM:Bloodwing: It is surprising what one finds lying around the Neutral Zone.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
*CIV* I'm nearing completion of the transport cycle. God Bless me if it works. Since we are using three buffers, three Heisenburg Compensators, and ONE imaging scanner, I had to.... uhh... Skip two events in the cycle.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::enters Sickbay::  CMO:  Greetings, Doc.
CTO_Gem says:
::smiles:: CO: Thanks. ; XO: I'm sure Commander Xia is more than qualified to take my place.
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: You and Commander Xia can handle the ship defenses
RCO_Braccus says:
@::smiles greedily:: COM:Pharaoh: Commander I am ordered to ask you if you require assistance in securing the Pharaoh.

CNS_K`Eloda says:
::watches what is going on the bridge and just takes some notes in my head::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CMO:  I see....so I'm going undercover.... ::sits on the table::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
*CEO*: Understood Chief, thank you very much. I am currently programming the system with transport coordinates...I'll be setting it on an automated program, set to engage when the shields go off-line...should that be a problem?
CMO_Releben says:
::taps on the first cosmetic appliances and begins shaping them into place::
CTO_Gem says:
::enters sickbay::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: how goes your project?
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Any idea why we are doing this?  It just seems so.... cowboy....

ACTION: 2 More Warbirds appear on LRS

Cmdr_Horn says:
::whispers:: CO: I'll head down to sickbay now, unless there is something else you need me to do
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
*CIV* I'd rather do it manually since we're going to have half of a cycle. I'll be in Engineering to monitor the actual program flow.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CMO:  Making sense of this mission is something I abandoned long ago, Doc.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She turns to see the Commanding Officer and smiles:: CO: They appear to be shaping up well sir...Lieutenant Irvin has just completed the transporter modifications I requested...::She gives a half sigh:: Let us only pray they are helpful...
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  Two more warbirds approaching.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CMO: You know, Doc, I may fall in love with a Romulan aristocrat over there...better not make me too good looking.
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   Okay, while you coordinate the primary station offense and deliver of your "packages", I'll man forward weaponry as your back up.
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi: I expect nothing less
Cmdr_Horn says:
::heads down to sickbay::
CTO_Gem says:
CMO: I doubt I need any cosmetic surgery... since I am Romulan. ::smiles:: But I'm here and ready sir.
CMO_Releben says:
CSO: Understood Cmdr.  Of course... an artist cannot change the canvas, only the final picture.  ::grins::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::enters sickbay and looks around::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Understood Commander...::She transmits her targeting locations to the XO's console:: XO: It is my hope to disable sections three, five and nine before we are able to deploy the transporters...
RCO_TRhieu says:
COM:Bloodwing: The ship is secure Bloodwing... no aid is necessary... the "prize" is mine.
CNS_K`Eloda says:
::watches the XO and the CO and everyone else on the bridge::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::closes the cycle program access and begins to depart to Engineering::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::smiles::  CMO:  Well...sorry if I'm not givin ya much to work with.
RCO_Braccus says:
@ COM:Pharaoh: I meant no disrespect Commander... I...
RCO_TRhieu says:
COM:Bloodwing: Enough... End transmission...
CMO_Releben says:
CTO: Perhaps, I can enhance your traits somewhat.  You need to blend if we are to be successful.
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::tries to look as though she is "captured" for the benefit of the Romulan on screen::
CMO_Releben says:
::grins to the CSO again::  CSO: You are done Cmdr.  Please allow it five minutes to set.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::enters upper engineering and stands on the balcony to see the warp core on cold standby:: Self: Wicked to see the room like this....

CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::climbs onto the ladder and slides down::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Sure thing.  ::looks at himself in a nearby mirror::  CMO:  Hey...not bad!
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
<...transmitters her targeting locations to the XO's weapon systems...>
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: how many more aspiring Romulan Captain's are going to try and get in on your "prize"?
CMO_Releben says:
Horn:  Cmdr, welcome back.  I take it you are leaving us...  ::motions to the table::
CTO_Gem says:
::a bit curious what that meant... but hopes the CMO doesn't take her beauty away... as if that's at all possible:: CMO: All right. Do your magic.
Cmdr_Horn says:
CMO: You can say that
CMO_Releben says:
<Dr. Doolittlemore>  ::begins working on Cmdr Horn::
XO_Chalen says:
::looks over the targeting parameters::    CIV:   Very impressive, Cmdr.    You've done your homework.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::walks over to the master control table and taps out a manual readiness report on the transporter, lighting a green light on the OPS, TAC, and SCI, station panels::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
Self:: Bless me if this thing works....
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::motions to Zimmerman to come over::
RCO_TRhieu says:
::turns to Starks and smiles:: CO: All of them would.... isn't that obvious ?   We have 4 ships and a station to contend with do you have any suggestions ?
CO_Starks says:
SO_Ens_Raja: have you been able to get any of the outside holo emitters online, in case we need them to cover our butt?
CMO_Releben says:
CTO: I would think you would want to appear as plain as possible.  I would think standing out in a crowd in this scenario is not what is intended.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She smiles and looks up at the Commander:: XO: I make it a habit to be prepared for any and all possible tactical scenarios...::Hands him a PADD from across the tactical display:: Here is a listing of possible target zones for the phaser cannons...I've preprogrammed the locations into the ship's computer...
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn:  Any chance of a briefing on this Away Mission, Commander?
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::notices the green light on her panel and reads the report from Engineering::
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   You do realize, though, that is the station gets it's shield or weapons online before we do enough damage, then the fight is over.    We'll be toast before we can say    "Ah, Grozit!"    ::takes the PADD::
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: who me? oh no your doing fine. 
CNS_K`Eloda says:
::watches around and thinks I am not doing nothing and I feel I should be helping in some way::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
<Zimmerman> CEO: Yes sir....
CMO_Releben says:
<Dr. Doolittlemore>  ::quickly applies the appliances and shapes into form::
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: :: grins:: but I will need a few Romulan military uniform for my away team, 3 should do. And a guide of course
SO_Ens_Raja says:
CO: Accor-r-rding to sensor-r-rs they ar-r-re installed and online
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   We should concentrate everything we've got on the station.  Once that's done, we run like hell.   If we divide our fire between that station and the warbirds, we won't make it.
CO_Starks says:
SO_Ens_Raja: very good
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
Zimmerman:: Stand by at the situation panel to re-engage main power at the Commander’s order.
CTO_Gem says:
CMO: Well. I'm sure there are beautiful Romulans. My mother is full Romulan, she looks like a saint.
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO/XO:  Engineering reports the transporters are ready.
RCO_TRhieu says:
::hands him another PADD:: CO: Here is the information for your replicators... I have come prepared
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Understood, hence why I have prepared these...::She taps the controls, bringing up the schematics of the Class VI probes modified by Lieutenant Irvin:: It is my hope that these will be successful in keeping the Romulans...occupied...::She smiles as she carefully chooses her words::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Since there was little prep time for this mission here is the briefing. We go in get the people and get out.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
Zimmerman:: We're going to have NO time to do anything, so just be on your toes.
CMO_Releben says:
CTO: You are ready to go.  I did not have to alter much, but I tried to tone down some of your features.  Please bear with it until you return.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
<CPO_Zimmerman> CEO: Aye.... Standing by.
XO_Chalen says:
::looks over the probe designs::     CIV:   Now what am I looking at here?
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO:  The doctor has a point...we don't want every Romulan aboard the Station drueling over you while we're undercover.
CO_Starks says:
XO/CIV: If we need it Ensign Raja has some outside holoemitters and a sensor jamming package ready to con fuse visual and tactical sensors of the Romulans. The ruse won't last but It's an ace in the hole if we need to make a break for it
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn: Understood, Commander.
CO_Starks says:
:: looks at padd from TRheiu ::
CTO_Gem says:
CMO: Understood sir. ::chuckles:: CSO: Who knows... maybe I'll get a date with a commander.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Holograms?    That's pretty thin............
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: Also, don't get killed
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::hits intraship com and whispers:: *ENG Personnel* All engineering personnel ready on damage control. We're fragile out here.
CMO_Releben says:
<Dr. Doolittlemore>  Horn: You are ready Cmdr.  You should make a fine Romulan.  Best of luck.
CO_Starks says:
*CMO* Doctor, and I sending some replicator patterns down please get our character's into costume

CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: It is in the report that Lieutenant Irvin and I submitted to you earlier...modified comm relays, which should in theory jam both the Romulan communication lines, and sensor systems...::She brings up a tactical diagram of the station:: If we can position the relays in a network, we should be able to create a blind-spot in their sensor net...
CO_Starks says:
::sends Romulan military uniform patterns to sickbay computer ::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Hey....you know I'm a Commander...  ::smiles jokingly::
Cmdr_Horn says:
Doolittlemore: Thank you.
CMO_Releben says:
*CO* Aye Skipper.
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   What kind of attacking force would be fooled by holograms?     That's ridiculous!    Why don't we just a ship's ambassador to come on board and double as the chef!
CTO_Gem says:
::grins::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She taps the display, noting the location of the blacked out sensor area:: XO: Also...it should help us in our maneuvering, causing interference for their targeting systems...I hope...
Cmdr_Horn says:
All: I guess we are ready. Just need to pick up our equipment
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: if you know anything on this mission that isn't pretty thin be sure to let me know about it
XO_Chalen says:
Civ:   Looks good..........
CMO_Releben says:
::moves to the replicator and begins entering the parameters::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn:  Phasers and tricorders?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::redirects com and whispers again:: *CIV* Standing by on manual transporter control. I wish we had an android onboard. ::sigh::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: That would be them.
CMO_Releben says:
::removes three Romulan uniform from the replicator, none of them too tight, but still mildly flattering::
CTO_Gem says:
::picks up the equipment::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::grabs a phaser and tricorder, and conceals them in his Romulan uniform::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Anything else you can think of that we need?
CO_Starks says:
*HORN* Commander, I want you all carrying transponders, I don't want any trouble getting a lock on you in there, and bring extra's for any of the Kodiack crew
RCO_TRhieu says:
::hands him another PADD:: CO: Perhaps shutting down the Station's security systems might be helpful ::smiles:: I have been working on a small hacking program in my spare time
CMO_Releben says:
Horn / CSO / CTO: Here you are.  You can use my office if you'd like.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She smiles and turns to the commanding officer:: CO: Commander Starks...I do have a theory as to how to disable the Romulan vessels. While Commander Riggs believes the strategy as too dangerous, I feel it may be our only option to cause maximum damage...
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu:  ::eyes widen:: you never cease to amaze
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::pulls on his uniform quickly::
Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: Understood. I'll have the Doc plant subdermal transonders on us
CTO_Gem says:
Horn: Nothing I need.
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: what have you got?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::reconfigures one of the control panels on control table to emulate a transporter console::
RCO_TRhieu says:
::looks over to Xia in curiosity::
CTO_Gem says:
::goes into office, finds a secluded area, and changes into the Romulan uniform::
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::checks the emitters make sure that they are still working::
CMO_Releben says:
::overhears the comm and moves to a storage drawer, removing the implants::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn:  Phasers on stun....or frizzle-fry?

CNS_K`Eloda says:
::hits the station and stands up:: CO: IS there something I can do?   ::feels helpless::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::Alex moves off and changes into the new uniform also::
CTO_Gem says:
::walks back to the CMO with Romulan uniform on:: CMO: Any chance I can keep this as a souvenir after this mission?
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: As part of our cover story, the Red Talon struck us on one of our nacelles, causing significant damage. If that was the case, we would be venting dangerous plasma...if we could maneuver the Pharaoh between the Romulan vessels, leaving a plasma trail...we could light the trail...in essence placing a match to petroleum...sir...
XO_Chalen says:
::looks at the CIV intently::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: As much I like frizzle-fry, I think stun is best for right now.
CMO_Releben says:
CTO: Put it on your tab and take it up with the Skipper, but I have no objections.
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn: Understood ::sets his phaser appropriately::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: if anything it would confuse the hell outta them, make it ready
CMO_Releben says:
::moves to the three officers and injects the subdermal transponders in succession::
CO_Starks says:
CNS_K`Eloda: I don't know...Is there anything you can do?  ::groans::
CO_Starks says:
edit Grins
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: While I do agree, the risks are high, it may be our only options...::She nods:: Aye sir...however...sir...I do have another option, if you or Commander Starks object to that plan...
CMO_Releben says:
*OPS* Cmdr, the implants are ready.  Can you run a test pattern please?
Cmdr_Horn says:
::CMO walks in to inject the transponder while she is half naked::
CNS_K`Eloda says:
CO:  I will try to work anywhere you need me... Sorry I was out of line when I hit the station Sir....

CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::taps intraship com:: *XO* Irvin to Riggs... I suppose we're ready down here. I hope this jury riggin works.
CTO_Gem says:
CSO/Horn/CMO: I'm ready.
Cmdr_Horn says:
::After changing walks back out looking like a Romulan::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn/CMO/CTO:  I'm go.
CMO_Releben says:
::barely notices Horn as he is old and eyes are not so good::
XO_Chalen says:
*CEO*:   If anyone can keep it together it's you Eli.      Note…that was a threat, not a compliment.   ::grins to himself::
CO_Starks says:
CNS_K`Eloda: understandable, please man Damage Control. Just give me reports and readouts when asked for them  ::pats her on the shoulder ::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::locates the transponders frequencies::  *CMO*:  They are working.

ACTION: Levaerie station appears on Long Range Sensors... ETA  5 minutes

Cmdr_Horn says:
ALL: I see that we are all ready. Lets head down to the transporter room and wait for the go-ahead
CMO_Releben says:
*CO* Skipper, the team is ready.  OPS reports transponders are operating correctly.  Releben out.
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:    Cmdr. can I speak with you for a second?   ::motions to the aft of the bridge::
CO_Starks says:
*Horn* almost game time Alex
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
*XO* Yeah Yeah... Har Har Har. I'll see you on the other side of the abyss Commander. Irvin Out.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: Romulan vessels, unlike Starfleet systems, are run by micro quantum singularities...which our scientists believe exist as much in the subspace realm, as they do our own...if we could create a subspace resonance pulse with our warp core...it could...in theory disrupt their power systems momentarily...

CTO_Gem says:
::follows Horn:: CMO: Later Doc!
CO_Starks says:
*CMO* Excellent work doctor
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She pauses and looks over to the XO:: XO: Of course sir...::She smiles and heads over by him::
SO_Ens_Raja says:
CO: Conir-r-rmed. I getting a str-r-rong signal fr-r-rm them
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::can feel the tension in the air::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CMO: Thanks Doc.  ::heads out following Horn::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::turns on the green light on the OPS station for transfer to main power::
CO_Starks says:
*OPS* Commander, lock onto the away team's transponder frequency, and no matter what happens don't loose it
Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: Ready as we will ever be. Any idea as to exactly where our people are?
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:    I like your singularity ideal, but it's too late to implement now..............  And...........
CMO_Releben says:
::nods to the CSO / CTO / Horn as they exit::
XO_Chalen says:
<w>  CIV:   Cmdr.  I appreciate your tactical abilities and the Prophets know that it's good to have you on this missions, but I'm the XO on this boat and I already said that plan was too dangerous.   You do a back end around me and go to the Captain again and I'll snap you back so hard you'll feel like first year cadet.   You read me?
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::transfers power to the transporters::
CO_Starks says:
*Horn* somewhere on level 5 we'll transport you in as far as we can, form there scan for human or Vulcan life signs
Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*: Understood.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She looks him up and down once and blocks out the urge to laugh. Her expression is flat and she looks him in the eye:: XO: Understood sir, however I must note for the record, that as a Starfleet Specialist, that I do directly report to the Commanding Officer on all advise...sir...::She nods politely::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn:  If we get stopped, you gonna do the talking?
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: I take it a station Commander will want to board us?
RCO_TRhieu says:
::hands the CO one more PADD:: CO: I believe these easy instructions will create the resonance pulse Commander Xia mentioned... my engine will be of course shielded
CTO_Gem says:
::smiles:: Horn: This will be the first time in many years that I've been on a Romulan station or vessel.
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO/CTO: Did you get that. Soon as we get down there ::pointing to CTO:: I want you to take point ::pointing to CSO:: I want you to began scanning
CO_Starks says:
:: take Padd:: Self: almost too easy  XO: ...isn't it
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::notices that power is coming online for the transporters:: *Bridge* is this a personnel transport?
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   Noted, Cmdr.    Now that we've got that out of the way, let's go blow up some Rommies..........
CO_Starks says:
::gives PADD to CIV ::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn: Understood, sir.
CTO_Gem says:
Horn: Do we really need to look that suspicious?
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: if anybody stops us, we will try to bluff, if not then we shoot
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia: ::notes to Padd:: a gift from Commander TRheiu
CMO_Releben says:
::leaves sickbay in the hands of Dr. Doolittlemore and makes for the bridge::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::nods::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   I WAS wondering sir.    What are we going to do AFTER lunch?
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
*CEO*:  Sorry Lt.  I misread a signal.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She smiles:: XO: Aye sir...::As she turns around she takes the PADD with a smile and nods to the Romulan Commander:: CO: Thank you sir...I'll get right on in...::She turns and begins to program the computer::

RCO_TRhieu says:
CO: It will not be easy... it will only work temporarily... we will have the element of surprise... no more... as for the Station Commander... I am uncertain
Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: We need to get in and out as quickly as possible. We don’t have any time to act "normal"
CMO_Releben says:
::makes his way to a ladder and lumbers up it slowly, trying not to spill his coffee::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::Tapping her comm badge, she declares openly:: *CEO*: Lt. Commander Xia to Chief Engineer Irvin, please respond...
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: How long will my people have before the shooting starts?
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::looks over the engineering report again::
CTO_Gem says:
::nods:: Horn: Understood sir.
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::hits the comm:: *CIV* Irvin here...
CMO_Releben says:
::reaches Deck 1 and heads for the bridge::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CTO: Trust me, I have done this more than once. I know what I am doing. ::gives a reassuring smile towards the CTO::
RCO_TRhieu says:
::pauses:: CO: It will depend on the individual engineer of each ship and the station... but I believe a minimum of 15 minutes before they can restart main power... they will be on auxiliary power only
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
*CEO*: One...thank you for the quick work with the transporter...::She smiles, even though she knows he can't see it...:: Secondly, once the warp core is at full power, I will be requiring a resonance pulse...the specifications are being downloaded into the computer as we speak...
XO_Chalen says:
::readies the computer sequence to load all torpedo bays the moment main power is brought online.
CTO_Gem says:
::curious if her mother would be proud of what she's about to do::
CO_Starks says:
ALL: Okay people when the lights go out we have less then 15 minutes, before they restore power we have to start hitting their reactor shielding, but not so soon that our team is still inside, got it?

CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Let us hope that this preparation is not in vain...
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::begins tapping his claw on the panel and flicks his tail forth and back::
CO_Starks says:
*Horn* your team will have less then 15 minutes, after that I'm pulling you out no matter what
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  Got it.  On your mark.
CMO_Releben says:
::enters the bridge, breathing somewhat heavier than normal::  CO: Skipper, mind if I monitor life signs of the Team from up here?
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
*CIV* Fair enough. Navigational Deflector Power up will have to coincide with warp core power up. ALSO, remember to signal when you are ready for the Triad Transporter. ::sees the pulse configuration coming through on a situation monitor::
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:  Happy thoughts Cmdr.    Happy thoughts.
CO_Starks says:
CMO_Releben: please do
Cmdr_Horn says:
*CO*:Understood. We will try and not to let you down
CMO_Releben says:
::nods and moves to his corner console::
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:   What's the expected range of the resonance pulse and what kind of damage can we expect it to do?
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: when the Station goes down every Warbird in the sector will converge on us
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She smiles to the Commander and then taps several controls on her PADD:: *CEO*: Understood, Xia out. ::She brings up the schematic one more time:: CO: All Tactical systems ready, sir...
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::begins to input the resonance pulse sequence to the deflector control relay::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::notices the CMO arrive breathlessly on the bridge::
CO_Starks says:
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia:  ::nods to CIV::
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   Don't remind me, I was just starting to think we might get through this.

Cmdr_Horn says:
ALL: Lets get on the padds and get ready for the beam down
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::steps up on the padd::
Cmdr_Horn says:
::steps onto the pad::
CTO_Gem says:
::steps on the pad... and prepares for transport::
CNS_K`Eloda says:
:;just watches everything and watches over the damage reports....
CO_Starks says:
FCO_Khrex: take the helm, be ready for maneuvers as soon as the Red Talon drop the tractor
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: Not sure...however it should be harmless to ourselves, and the Red Talon...and should hopefully disrupt the vessels power supply for a few minutes...they should be able to adapt in about 10-15 minutes...
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
*CPO_Clark* This is a standard personnel transport. Modifications are OFFLINE.
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
::She looks down at her controls - poised and ready::
CMO_Releben says:
::plops down into his chair and logs onto his console::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
<CPO_Clark> *CEO* Aye Sir... Coordinates locked and ready. Personnel on the pad.
XO_Chalen says:
::nods at the CIV::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
<CPO_Clark> ::verifies the coordinates and looks to the commander waiting for the order to energize::
CTO_Gem says:
CSO: This will be very interesting. 
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::Continues to study his panel waiting for something to do while his tail flicks back and forth::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
CTO: Agreed....lets hope it will also be easy.
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: when the Warbird in this sector converge on us will the Red Talon be friend or foe?
CMO_Releben says:
::sets his coffee on his console and removes a donut from a pocket::

CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
<CPO_Clark> Horn: Ready when you are Commander. Coordinates locked and in the system. Signal lock established on your teams transponders.
CO_Starks says:
:: looks to CMO and half laughs to self..even in all this he's still collected and eating his beloved Doughnuts ::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO/CTO: either way, it is going to be fun ::Smiles evilly::
CSO_Brehgorn says:
Horn: Let's just hope we don't start a full-scale war.  ::smiles::
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
::keeping an eye on the linked transporter control in engineering::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
XO: This is it...may your Prophets be looking over us on this day...::She glances around the dimly lit room, a smile coming across her face::...and may we prove our worth out here on the frontier...
CMO_Releben says:
::takes a rather large bite, careful not to lose any of the powder coating, then takes a slug of coffee::
Cmdr_Horn says:
CSO: I agree
CEO_Lt_Irvin says:
<CPO_Clark> ::fingers on the sequence initiators::
XO_Chalen says:
CIV:  You took the words right out of my mouth.     ::looks up to the screen::
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::sees a piece of fluff float across the panel and bats at it, trying to catch it::
RCO_TRhieu says:
::frowns:: CO: Commander... I have gone this far... I will not change now.... Honor demands no less
CSO_Brehgorn says:
::the anticipation finally starts creeping up on him::
CMO_Releben says:
::spies the rather cute OPS officer and brushes some of the crumb off of his shirt front::
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
CO: The away team is ready to transport.
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: No need to let you crew be shot at by your own, The station will be your target but before any warbirds come into SRS range I want you out of here, you of more good to us on the inside then as a defector
CO_Starks says:
OPS_Cmdr_Verdi: nods to OPS

OPS_Cmdr_Verdi says:
::initiates transport::
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: Good luck...ALL: Good luck all of you...::She taps her controls, bringing all her tactical plans into standby mode::...for now there is no turning back.
XO_Chalen says:
Self Whispers:   Cannons to the left of me, Cannons to the right.   Thundering and pounding flashes of light............................... as they entered the jaws of hell itself.        May the Prophets guide us.
CO_Starks says:
XO_Chalen: ....I wish you'd quit that
XO_Chalen says:
CO:   It's just a poem..............
CIV_LtCmdr_Xia says:
CO: ...one you would be wise to learn.
CO_Starks says:
TRheui: Time for you to get back to your ship, I'll be taking my chair back
CO_Starks says:
CIV/XO: teach it to me, when we get home
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: initiate your virus
CO_Starks says:
TRheiu: and de-activate the tractor
RCO_TRhieu says:
CO: Commander.... I am familiar with the layout... permission to fight by your side ?
CO_Starks says:
:: grins :: TRheiu: why not....
CO_Starks says:
*transporter room* Energize
SO_Ens_Raja says:
::catches the piece of fluff and suddenly realizes where he is, drops it and lets it float on::
