XO: We have impulse, but don't push it.

SCI_XO_Wn says:
    CO: The attack ships are fleeing the system.

CTO_Terr says:
XO: Sir, do you think that we might need an AT for the Scimitar?

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Sir, we have a good amount of the systems fixed, but we have a lot of power couplings blown all over the ship.

SCI_CEO says:
::checks Comm and diverts power::

Host CO_Krust says:
XO: Equip your team as you see fit and be gone!

SCI_CEO says:
::re-enforces the field around the damaged shuttle bay::

Host XO_Krieg says:
::leaves bridge for TR1::

Host Rob-AGM says:
Action: The Honshu arrives back in the system.

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Sir, if those ships come back do I have permission to fire before they could hurt us with our shields lowered for transport?

OPSFowler says:
CO: Sir, the Honshu has returned.

CMO_Lee says:
::arrives at TR1 and waits for XO::

CTO_Terr says:
CO: The Honshu just returned.

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Sir, I believe the Honshu has returned.

SCI_XO_Wn says:
COM: Pharaoh: If those ships return you will need to extend your shields around the Scimitar.

Host CO_Krust says:
CSO: Keep an eye out for hostiles.

SCI_CEO says:
::shakes head at the amount of damage::

Host XO_Krieg says:
::enters TR1:: CMO: Ready, Doctor?

Host CO_Krust says:

::steps on to pad next to XO::

SCI_XO_Wn says:
COM: Honshu: Stable for now; although we have sustained a lot of damage.

CSO_Fist says:
OPS: Gesundheit.

SCI_CEO says:
XO: LRS is gone, SRS barely online.

Host XO_Krieg says:
CMO: Do you have anything for a headache?

SCI_XO_Wn says:
CEO: Is our tractor beam up? I forgot about the Ambassador.

Host Honshu says:
COM:Scimitar: Very well. Get your ship ready for towing back to Starbase 177.

Host XO_Krieg says:
::transporter energizes::

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Sir, we are looking at about four hours to get main power back online and about 30 minutes for shields.

Host CO_Krust says:
::taps channel open::

SCI_CEO says:
XO: Negative.

OPSFowler says:
::nods at Andrew and gives him a slight smirk::

Host Honshu says:
Action: A tractor beam leaps out from the Honshu and drags the badly damaged shuttle into one of her bays.

Host XO_Krieg says:
Com: Pharaoh: CO: Sir, the away team is on board.

CTO_Terr says:
::looks at the CO's discomfort and smiles; waiting is the hardest game of all::

SCI_CEO says:
XO: The port nacelle is half gone; at best we have impulse..

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Best estimate is five minutes for shields, but with our power as it is they won't be very stong.

CMO_Lee says:
XO: Depends...

SCI_XO_Wn says:
CEO: I wonder what it is about that port nacelle that everyone has to shoot it up :: smiles ::

Host CO_Krust says:
COM: XO: Acknowledged, Magnus. Get her space worthy.

SCI_CEO says:
*EO*: Noted. XO: You copy?

SCI_XO_Wn says:
CEO: Acknowledged.

COM: Scimitar: How long till it's safe to tow you?

SCI_XO_Wn says:
CTO:  You should meet with the Pharaoh away teams.

SCI_CTO_B says:
XO: Aye, sir.

Host XO_Krieg says:
CMO: See if you can link up with the Scimitar's medical staff. I'm headed to engineering.  If the Pharaoh is attacked, I want you back on board. Understood?

SCI_XO_Wn says:
:: looks to the CEO :: CEO: How long?

SCI_CEO says:
CTO: Cole, this is almost as bad as what the KOA did to us.

CMO_Lee says:
XO: Gotcha.

CTO_Terr says:
CO: I have emergency locks on all of the AT to bring them back if the situation gets too bad.

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Sir, if the Pharaoh has any spare DC teams we could use them.

SCI_CTO_B says:
CEO: almost..... ::enters TL:: TL: TR1

Host CO_Krust says:
CTO: Excellent! Maintain.

SCI_CEO says:
XO: We can try our impulse first, sir.

Host XO_Krieg says:
::makes his way out of the transporter room as panels spark and lights flash::

SCI_CTO_B says:
::follows AT out of TR ::

CTO_Terr says:
OPS: How are your kids, Nancy.  I noticed in the last mail transmission that you got some holos?

Host Honshu says:
COM:Scimitar: If you want we can begin beaming non-essential personnel on board.

Host CO_Krust says:
COM: XO: Your status? How long until she can be towed?

SCI_CEO says:
*EO*: Don't worry about the warp drive. Just make sure the IDF and shields are operational.

SCI_XO_Wn says:
COM: Honshu: As soon as the Ambassador is tended to could you have him beam over under guard?

CMO_Lee says:
::works around the debris until he finds sickbay::

SCI_CEO says:
::taps message on console to EO::  EO: Neither do I.

OPSFowler says:
CTO: They are growing way too fast, Andrew. 

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: IDF is stable and online; the shields will be on in four minutes.

CSO_Fist says:
::twiddles thumbs::

SCI_XO_Wn says:

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Unless you want us to bypass the diagnostic?

Host Honshu says:
COM: Scimitar: Negative. He'll stay here 'til we arrive at SB177.

OPSFowler says:
CTO: How's your family, Andrew?

Host XO_Krieg says:
COM: CO: I've just entered engineering,sir. ::checks for a functioning console:: Looks like they have minor hull breaches. Power grid is stable. She'll be ready to tow at least.

SCI_CEO says:
*EO*: No, do it right.

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Krust says:
COM: XO: Very well. Keep me apprised.

*EO*: Acknowledged.

SCI_EO_Ke says:
::begins phase two of restart sequence::

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Aye, sir. Tractor beam locked on target. Standing by to fire.

Host Honshu says:
COM: Scimitar: Stand by. Tractor beam enaged. Starting power transfer sequence.

SCI_CEO says:
::nods to CO::

Host CO_Krust says:
COM: XO: We are ready. Once she is secured prepare to beam back.

CSO_Fist says:
::monitoring power transfer::

SCI_Amb_M says:
::walks around in the cell:: Tell Captain Dunhim that I must have a chat with him immediately. That is not a request, it is an order from a representative of Starfleet Command.

Host Honshu says:
    COM: Pharaoh: Are your teams off?

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Main power grid back online in 30 minutes.

Host XO_Krieg says:
COM: CO: Understood, sir.

Host SCI_CO_Ia says:
XO: Unfortunately.

Host Honshu says:
<ensgin> Mcdowell: I will, sir, but he is kinda busy right now.

SCI_CEO says:
*EO*: Very good, Ensign. Better than I expected.

Host XO_Krieg says:
CMO: Doctor Lee, be prepared for beam out. This ship is ready to tow.

CMO_Lee says:
::finds the Scimitar's CMO and gives them a hand::

SCI_XO_Wn says:
CO: Well, you get the twins back, and we inevitably get shore leave. :: smiles ::

CMO_Lee says:
*XO*: Aye, sir.

SCI_Amb_M says:
Guard: Kindly remind the captain that nothing is too busy for command.

Host XO_Krieg says:
COM: CO: Sir, away teams are ready for beam out at your pleasure.

Host Honshu says:
Com: Scimitar: Pharaoh: Stand by for warp in five minutes.

Host CO_Krust says:
OPS: Bring them home.

SCI_EO_Ke says:
*CEO*: Phase two of restart sequence complete. Everything in the green.

Host Honshu says:
<Ensign> Mcdowell: I have sent him a message, sir. ::sends a message via his padd::

OPSFowler says:
CO: Aye, sir .

FCO_Braun says:
:: has a course plotted and ready to engage in warp ::

Host CO_Krust says:
FCO: Set course for outpost 1138; warp 2.

SCI_CEO says:
::notes the comm::

OPSFowler says:
 COM: *XO*: Beaming you now.

SCI_XO_Wn says:
COM: Honshu: Acknowledged. Thanks for the help!

FCO_Braun says:
CO: Aye, Captain. Enroute to Outpost 1138 at warp two. ::engages::

Host CO_Krust says:
CTO: Engage tractor beam on my mark.

Host SCI_CO_Ia says:
XO: And how I missed them. I just hope shore leave isn't interrupted this time like it always is.

CSO_Fist says:
::triple-checks LRS::

CTO_Terr says:
::poises hand::

OPSFowler says:
CO: The away team is on board

SCI_CEO says:
::takes a deep breath and shrugs shoulders::

SCI_XO_Wn says:
CO: Haven't had shore leave on this ship before, Captain.

Host CO_Krust says:
::waits::

SCI_EO_Ke says:
Computer: Give me a readout of the current status of the internal power grid.

Host Honshu says:
Action: The two Akira Class ships take off for SB177.

Host CO_Krust says:
::watches the CTO::

CMO_Lee says:
::still waiting::

Host CO_Krust says:
CTO: Mark.

SCI_XO_Wn says:
COM: Pharaoh: Thanks for the help, Captain. Maybe some day we can return the favor under better circumstances, of course.

Host XO_Krieg says:
::looks at Doctor:: CMO: What about that headache remedy?

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Firing, target dest.....locked onto tractor.

CTO_Terr says:
::realises what he almost said and slaps himself::

Host CO_Krust says:
FCO: Engage, Jakob.

CSO_Fist says:
::scanning freighters cargo hold; just curious::

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Tractor beam is secure and steady.

Host CO_Krust says:
*XO*: Report to the bridge, Commander.

FCO_Braun says:
:: continues to travel at warp 2 ::

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Shall I remain at red alert or take us down to yellow, sir?

Host XO_Krieg says:
::starts at hearing his name attached to the rank:: *CO*: On my way, sir.

CMO_Lee says:
XO: Well, one solution is a very low stun from a phaser. Another is more in good medical practice.

CSO_Fist says:
CO:  I'm reading four life signs aboard the freighter.

Host CO_Krust says:
CTO: Secure to yellow alert, Lt.

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Aye, Aye, Captain.

CTO_Terr says:
::takes the ship to yellow alert:::

Host XO_Krieg says:
CMO: Sorry, Doc. I guess it's my destiny to suffer. Thanks anyway. :: heads for bridge::

CTO_Terr says:
::hears that the XO is on the way to the bridge and cringes::

CMO_Lee says:
::sees the XO leave and heads for sickbay::

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Should the CTO and I investigate the contents of the freighter?

CTO_Terr says:
::looks at the CSO and wonders why he wasnt consulted about volunteering, although it is something to do::

Host CO_Krust says:
CSO: Scan it. Try to assess any threats or damage.

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Scans reveal dilithium residue and four life signs.

CTO_Terr says:
CSO: What race?

Host CO_Krust says:
CSO: Stable?

Host CO_Krust says:
:: nods at CTO:: 

CSO_Fist says:
CO: Just residue, sir.

Host XO_Krieg says:
::enters bridge::

CSO_Fist says:
::identifying life forms::

CTO_Terr says:
::notes the arrival of XO and starts a low profile::

Host CO_Krust says:
XO: How bad is the Scimitar, Magnus?

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Mr. Braun, seeing as we are kind of partners in this enterprise of yours, I reccommend that we give the crew of the Scimitar free drinks anytime they come to Exile Cafe.

OPSFowler says:
::wonders if the Scimitar looked as bad inside as she did on the screen::

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Seeing as they did a great job defending themselves till help arrived...

FCO_Braun says:
CTO:  Mr. Terrance, that is an excellent idea... but only the first drink...

CTO_Terr says:
FCO: Of course.

CSO_Fist says:
CO: The freighter's data banks reveal an illegal mining operation on a pre-atomic world about four months from federation space.

Host XO_Krieg says:
CO: Sir, salvagable. Hull breaches, primary EPS damaged.  Back up systems are functional. She won't be out of dry dock anytime soon. My report will be on your desk in four hours.

CTO_Terr says:
CSO: Have you been able to identify the race yet?

Host CO_Krust says:
CTO/FCO: So, you have chosen a name. Has that been approved by your commanding officer?

CSO_Fist says:
CO: There is also evidence of access through a wormhole and a dummy mining operation in the Rebex system.

FCO_Braun says:
CO:  Uhhh, no sir... the name just seemed to fit out here in this part of space...

CTO_Terr says:
CO: Erm, I don't think so, sir.

Host CO_Krust says:
XO: Excellent. As long as she can still fly.
