CEO: What is the direction of the vessel? Are we in hailing range?
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Aye. ::Changes course to intercept the vessel::
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Yes sir.
CEO_Rogers says:
::Monitors Science and engineering, and checks the scans of the vessel::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Communications are now being jammed, and so are some sensors.....the vessel is a cube.
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Our comm systems are being jammed, and so are our sensors… The vessel appears to be cube-shaped.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Borg?
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The ship has been identified as a Borg cube and is on an intercept course.
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Positive. It is on intercept course.
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: I recommend red alert.
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: What are the Borg doing out here?
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Plot an escape course. Maximum warp.
CMO_Mercz says:
::Sits up, and prepares sickbay for emergencies::

*TO's* Begin looking for Borg on the ship.
TO_AlThor says:
<TO's> *TO* Aye
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Suggested tactical course of action?
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Warp out at warp 9.6.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Try to get a message through to Starfleet Command.
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Aye
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CEO: Scan the cube. Try to find all the weaknesses.
CEO_Rogers says:
FCO: That won't help much if their jamming out communications signals, but hey… if it works.
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: Will do
EO_Briaire says:
::Notices the relative panic in engineering::  *CEO*: I'm afraid to ask Ma'am....but what is happening up there..?
Host CSO_Sketek says:
::Looks at the power reading of the Borg cube::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The cube fires a beam weapon.... striking the aft shields of the Andromeda.... knocking her out of warp as the left nacelle goes into imbalance....
FCO_Durron says:
COMM: Starfleet Command: Starfleet Command, this is USS Andromeda. A Borg cube is pursuing us. Request assistance.
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: They're firing. Our left warp nacelle was hit and is now inoperative.
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: we just lost warp
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Target their weapon systems and strike back.
CMO_Mercz says:
::Falls over as the ship shakes::
CEO_Rogers says:
::Scans the cube, trying to find the weaknesses:: *EO* We've come across a Borg cube, try and keep the panic relatively low down there please, the last thing we need right now is Chaos.
CTO_Senek says:
::Targets the Borg's weapons and fires phasers::
TO_AlThor says:
::Stumbles down the corridor::
FCO_Durron says:
::Begins routing nonessential power to shields::
EO_Briaire says:
::Sees a few console spark as several ODN conduits explode due to plasma surges from the core::
CTO_Senek says:
*TO*: I need you up here now.. Let the security teams take care of their patrols.
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda lashes out with main phasers...striking the cube.... for a moment it flickers.
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: the cube isn't putting out as much energy as it should be.... some power fluctuations also.
EO_Briaire says:
::Runs to core access console::  *CEO*: Understood Ma'am...  but it looks bad down here....
TO_AlThor says:
*CTO* Roger on my way. ::Heads to the bridge::
CTO_Senek says:
::Fires some more, torpedoes this time::
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CEO: What could be the reason?
TO_AlThor says:
::Arrives on the bridge and moves to tactical::
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: Unsure yet, sir...still trying to verify that.
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: I am going to commence evasive pattern beta gamma.  If you like.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Please proceed.
CEO_Rogers says:
::Continues trying to verify the reasons for the oddities with the cube::
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: I noticed something weird. Their beam weapon wasn't as powerful as their weapons usually are.
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Aye ::Begins evasive maneuvers::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Borg shields hold...and establishes a tractor on the Andromeda.....SURRENDER OR BE DESTROYED.
CTO_Senek says:
TO: Keep our weapons targeted on their tractor beam, but hold your fire for now.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Try to disable their tractor beam.
CTO_Senek says:
TO: Fire.
TO_AlThor says:
::Fires the weapons::
EO_Briaire says:
::Shouts::  Semal: Get that left nacelle back online again...
CTO_Senek says:
::Keeps an eye on internal sensors for any intruders::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Four photon torpedoes strike the Cube, its shields hold.... the Cube fires.... photon torpedoes..... the Andromeda shakes.
TO_AlThor says:
::Continues to fire at the tractor beam source::
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Their shields are holding. Whatever is wrong in there, it isn't their shields.
CEO_Rogers says:
::Holds onto her console to keep from falling, and continues to try and figure out why there are power fluctuations and low power sources in the cube::
EO_Briaire says:
::Holds onto his console, shaking his head::  Self: I can't work like this...
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Continue firing.
FCO_Durron says:
::Twists the Andromeda around to bring the forward firing ark to bear on the tractor beam::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The tractor is disabled, the Andromeda is free.....the right warp nacelle is now in imbalance....the warp core is getting feedback.
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: We're free.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CEO: Keep the ship in one piece...
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CEO: And get the warp systems online.
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: That’s my job sir, and that’s what I'm trying to do.
EO_Briaire says:
<Semal>  EO: Alec...the right nacelle is going into imbalance as well...
FCO_Durron says:
::Returns to evasive pattern::
CMO_Mercz says:
*CSO* The cubes tactics, don't seem efficient enough to be Borg
CEO_Rogers says:
::Attempts to bring the warp core back online::
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: The cube is experiencing momentary power surges.
EO_Briaire says:
Semal: Keep working that left nacelle...  I'll work on containing the right one...
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda is sluggish on impulse.
CEO_Rogers says:
*EO* Try and cool down the warp core, it's starting to over heat.
EO_Briaire says:
*CEO*: Ma'am.... if we can't contain the right nacelle we'll have to dump it...
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Is there something wrong with our sensors or what is happening to the cube?
EO_Briaire says:
*CEO*: Temperature is still rising....
CEO_Rogers says:
::Curses:: *EO* Alright....::Thinks for a moment:: Shut down the core.
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Our sensors should be ok.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CEO: Could we jettison the core and explode it right next to the cube?
EO_Briaire says:
*CEO*: Understood.... releasing the magnetic constrictors...
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: It's possible...
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Cube image collapses... revealing… an Orion destroyer.
EO_Briaire says:
::Begins releasing the magnetic constrictors to stop the matter anti matter conversion rate::
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: It's not the Borg, but an Orion destroyer.. I get this now.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Hail them.
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The M/AM reaction is slowing
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: AYE. ::Hails the Orion destroyer::
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: We will be almost completely without power soon, as our warp core will be offline. I recommend that we fire at them while we still have the chance.
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
<Orion Destroyer> Federation Starship: Surrender or be destroyed
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Don't answer the communication.
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Yes sir.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Try to disable their weapons and fire.
EO_Briaire says:
::Smiles::  *CEO*: Ma'am...matter anti matter conversion is slowing down....  ::Sounds relieved::
CTO_Senek says:
::Fires all weapons at the Orions' weapon systems::
CEO_Rogers says:
::Stops and breathes for a moment:: *EO* Good.
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda's phasers are weaker due to the core troubles, but they manage to cut a vicious hole in the side of the destroyer.
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Their shields are collapsing, and they suffered severe hull damage.
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Andromeda warp core is 2 minutes from total shutdown.
CTO_Senek says:
::Keeps firing as long as there is power::
EO_Briaire says:
::Wipes the sweat of his forehead::
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Open a channel. COMM: Orion destroyer: Withdraw or prepare to be surrender. We are willing to use force to defend ourselves and Federation.
FCO_Durron says:
::Opens channel::
CTO_Senek says:
::Holds fire to give the Orions time to reply::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: No response.... the Orion destroyer's hull is coming apart.... its core is overheating... the mortally wounded ship.... decides to ram.
EO_Briaire says:
<Semal>  EO: Alec...both nacelles are leaking plasma...
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Evasive action.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Try to disable their engines.
CTO_Senek says:
::Fires torpedoes at the Orions' engines::
FCO_Durron says:
::Pulls hard left and up::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: Andromeda warp core is down.
EO_Briaire says:
::Frowns again as he hears Semal's comment::  Semal: The overheating of the core must have overheated the plasma conduits as well..
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: One torpedo strikes the pirate ship, cleaving off its engines.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CEO: How big is the crew of the Orion ship?
CEO_Rogers says:
::Scans the ship::
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: Checking
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Their engines are gone, but they're still headed for us.. We should evade.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
CTO: Agreed. FCO: Continue evasive actions.
EO_Briaire says:
*CEO*: Ma'am.... recommend we close the magnetic constrictors again.... that way we can repair the damage to both nacelles...
CTO_Senek says:
CSO: Their warp core is about to explode.
FCO_Durron says:
CSO: Aye
Host CSO_Sketek says:
FCO: Open a channel to Orion ship.
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: crew of a 1000  *EO* Do it, I personally don't want to loose this ship along with the whole crew.
EO_Briaire says:
*CEO*: Understood...
FCO_Durron says:
::Opens channel:: CSO: Channel  open.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
COMM: Orion ship: Your warp core is about to explode. Jettison it while you can. The only thing you can win right now is your own lives.
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
<Orion Ship> Federation ship: Die!
CMO_Mercz says:
*CSO* I recommend we beam over as many people as we can.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
*CMO*: Agreed.
CEO_Rogers says:
CSO: I would take it that they value their honor more than their lives.....
EO_Briaire says:
::Begins closing the magnetic constrictors again::  Semal: Begin monitoring the plasma flow out of the engines...
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Orion ship spirals toward the Andromeda as both engines come into alignment, warp one is available.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
Self: Hmm... FCO: Take us out of here. Warp 1.
FCO_Durron says:
CSO:  Aye
FCO_Durron says:
::Activates warp one::
Host ACTD_John_Sea says:
Action: The Andromeda warps out as the Orion ship detonates.
EO_Briaire says:
::Monitors the matter / anti matter conversion rate again::  *CEO*: Matter / Anti Matter conversion rate is nominal and core temperature is back at 1 Mil degrees Kelvin...
CEO_Rogers says:
*EO* Good, you've done a good job ensign.
EO_Briaire says:
::Smiles::  *CEO*: Thanks Ma'am..
CMO_Mercz says:
::Settles down sickbay::
EO_Briaire says:
Semal: Good job to you too...
CEO_Rogers says:
::Gets up and heads for the TL:: CSO: I'll be down in engineering helping with repairs if you need me.
Host CSO_Sketek says:
All: Good job. Continue repairs and help engineering wherever you can.
EO_Briaire says:
All: All of you I may add.  ::Smiles again then begins writing his daily report, should be an interesting one.::
