Resume USS Andromeda "Counter Espionage" 10808.24
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Ten of the 50 Robots have self destructed
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Leaves the forcefield up while he opens the door to inspect the damage::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: There is a blinding flash of light and the ship shakes, debris goes flying and the crew outside are momentarily knocked back
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Forcefield out into space collapses next to the cargo bay door, explosive decompression!
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Trying to catch her breath, shakes the person on top of her::  Unidentified:  Off, please...
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The forcefield by the door starts to collapse as the forcefield emitters near the entry door have been damaged
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::slumped against a bulkhead:: All: ow...
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: There is smoke and debris in the cargo bay as space sucks air out, vision is obstructed
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::exits his RR and steps out onto the bridge::  CNS:  Have we destroyed all the robots?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::feels the ship rock and checks his console for damage reports:: *XO*: Sir, the forcefield is going to collapse any moment. Closing the doors.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Explosive decompression alert in CB One sounding on the bridge
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::turns:: CO: I don't know. There's been an explosion in CB One, waiting for reports to come in.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: sighs as someone pulls the apparently unconscious person off of her and another helps her up::  Thanks...
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* How many robots left? There is a hole in the side of the ship now
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leans back to get a better gasp of air before going back down on her knees with her medical scanner.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Stand by.  ::looks over at Varesh to see if he has a number::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The door to CB1 is gone and the forcefield into CB1 is about to fall , Cargo Bay One is now exposed to space and the robots are gone
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::closes the doors to CB1:: CO: Sensors are jammed. We'll need an eyeball view to see. Perhaps the Silverhawk? I'm not sure how many exploded, so I can't give you a number for sure.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: nods to herself as the man groans::  Ens Pollasky:  You will be fine.  Just a minor concussion.  Take it easy for a moment.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: I'll hazard that at least ten self destructed for that size of explosion.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Blast doors seal off Carbo Bay One as the forcefield collapses
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, sensors are jammed.  We're not able to get a count of how many are left.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::tries using external cameras to get a view of the hull::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Normal atmosphere and temperature restored to all areas except the actual cargo Bay One
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM:  USS Silverhawk:  This is Captain Knight.  Is there any chance your sensors are able to determine how many robots are left onboard the Andromeda?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: standing::  ~~~~ CO: Do I want to know what happened?~~~~
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The CNS sees the robots walking towards the main deflector dish via magnetized boots
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Comms Jewel to make sure the children are alright::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  Probably not.~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Captain! ::puts the visual feed on the main viewer:: They are heading for the main deflector dish!
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: mutters under her breath::  I was afraid of that....
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Relaxes a touch as she is informed the children are safe.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, the robots are heading for the main deflector dish!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* Can you use the Silverhawks phasers to shoot them?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::smiles slightly:: CO: Great minds think alike, I was going to suggest the same thing.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Returns to treating the various injuries of the Silverhawk crew::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  I'm not sure if we can chance whether the phasers would hit the deflectors.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* Move the ship away?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Can we de-magnetize the hull?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Picking up her husbands thoughts as she works on a burn::  CO:  Try demagnetizing the hull~~~~
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::taps commands on his console:: CO: Reversing hull polarity now.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  We're attempting to de-magnetize the hull.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: moving from one individual to another, working as quickly as she can, knowing they might all be needed anytime.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks over at Varesh::  CNS:  Please tell me it worked.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Gets up and heads for the shuttle bay::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, as a back up, see if you can lock onto any of them using the shuttles' transporters.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* Have a better idea, clear a shuttle for launch as soon as I arrive
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Actives a panel and does a site to site transport to the shuttle bay::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  You're clear!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Runs into a prepped shuttle and launches immediately::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Robots reverse poles on their boots
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Nope, they compensated too quickly for it to work.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Robots are marching forty strong towards the main deflector shield, they are 60 meters away and begin firing at the dish with small arms fire!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Brings phasers online and moves towards the deflector dish and carefully targeting the robots::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Takes shots at the robots closest to the deflector array::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::paces a bit and looks up at the viewscreen to see Conor's shuttle approaching::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO is launching a shuttle!
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*CMO*:  Are you and the others okay?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The robots take cover!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 15 robots establish surface to air small arms fire at the shuttle!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Raises shields::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: This is not pretty, sir.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Uses phaser rifle to intercept the missiles::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*CO*: So far, yes.  Minor casualties from the blast.  Still working on the previous injuries.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Minor small arms from the robots hits the deflector dish, power fluctuation in the main deflector!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::works on neutralizing the robots' jamming signal::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Robot small arms fire neutralized by shuttle shields
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 10 Robots are 30 meters from the dish!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Flies directly at the robots and uses the tractor beam to pull them away::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::mutters under his breath at the complex signal::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Incoming communication on main channel
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Incoming signal, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Let's hear it.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::opens the channel::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Go ahead, sir.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
COMM: Lead Robot: Commanding Officer USS Andromeda: If you do not stop the attack on us I will order my robots to self destruct next to the main deflector dish thereby destroying your ship!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Returns to working on the jamming signal::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO has destroyed 5 Robots
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Lead Robot:  Why don't you stand down and tell me what it is you are trying to do.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~XO:  Conor, they're prepared to self-destruct near the dish.  We need to act fast while I'm buying us some time.~~~
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
COmm: <Lead_Robot> CO: Surrender or be destroyed
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Actoin: More robots move into position around the dish
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Flies around and takes shots robots nearest the deflector dish::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Lead Robot:  Under what grounds?  What exactly do you want from us?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Can we send any type of jolt through the outer hull?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Lead_Robot> CO: You are attempting to negotiate for time, this is a common tactic among humans I give you 60 seconds
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Finishes basic triage with the last of the more serious wounds.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 5 robots begin firing at the navigational deflector array
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::pauses his attempt:: CO: I would say so yes.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Takes shots at the 5 robots::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Lead Robot:  No, I'm trying to understand you're reasoning for doing what you're doing.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Sir, weapons fire at the navigational deflector.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  See if you can send the most powerful volt to disable them.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* Send a gravaton pulse from the deflector array
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: the 45 remaining robots huddle and take cover near the main deflector array
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Lead_Robot> CO: 20 seconds
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Giving it a try.  ::looks over at Varesh::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Do it!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::punches in the commands for the pulse to be sent by the deflector::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  We're we successful?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<We're = Were>
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Has her team begin to work on individual situations until they were called.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The graviton pulse dislodges 15 robots closest to the perimeter of the dish
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Shuttle is pushed by the gravitron pulse as well and it tumbles 100 kms
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* 15 robots were pushed away and me!
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  You okay Conor?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leaves the cargo bay, heading for the bridge.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::paces::  CNS:  There HAS to be a way we can disable these things.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Navigational deflector taking damage from small arms fire , it is at 60 percent
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* I've been better ::fires ups engines at full power and heads back to the robots::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Lead_Robot>CO: Surrender or die flesh creature!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 30 Robots left
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: I've hit a wall. ::looks at his console:: Navigational deflector down to 60 percent.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Uses the shuttle as a ramming ship while taking shots at the robots::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps onto the bridge and moves over towards science.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::cuts communication with the lead robot::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Sierra, what would happen if we took the navigational deflector offline?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: lifts a brow::  CO:  It would be unwise to go to warp.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Fires a few more shots at the robots::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  I'm not planning on going to warp at the moment.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: Although the density of the interstellar medium is extremely low, significant hazards to navigation exits, especial for a starship traveling at relativistic or warp velocities.  Among these are micrometeroid particulates, as well as the much rare (but more hazardous) larger objects such as asteroids.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Navigational deflector at 40 percent
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Deflector at 40 percent.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Then your answer would be, nothing.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The robots appear desperate to destroy the navigational array
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Then I'm open for suggestions Sierra.  Where's that scientific knowledge of yours?  ::smiles briefly::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* Fire every pulse the deflector can generate, obviously trying to destroy it for a reason
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Sir, all their efforts are bent on destroying the array.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  It appears so.  ::nods to Varesh to fire the pulse::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  If we can disrupt their energy signals...
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Another option would be just to go to warp and knock them off.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  I was thinking that earlier, but I thought that would have been too easy!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Occam's Razor?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Easier does not mean it is less of an idea.  We could always try the more complex, but I think you are a bit short on time.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Navigational Array at 10 percent
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, I want you to stay put in the shuttle.  We're going to go to warp to see if we can get these robots off.  We'll rendezvous back with you.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* I'll follow you guys instead
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Varesh, take us out of here and maximum warp!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Deflector at ten percent, its now or never. ::taps controls and goes to maximum warp::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda leaps to the Technicolor warp space at warp 9! The Robots are instantly incinerated by the momentum and energy generated by a ship at warp, losing their grip on the hull and falling into ash!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::checks the cameras:: CO: All gone.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Structural integrity alarm at Cargo Bay One...hull buckling at warp 9....
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Take us out of warp Varesh.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Dropping from warp.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Don't want to leave Conor that far behind!  ::grins::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Taps the controls::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Follows the Andromeda’s path at warp 3::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: CO: If we leave him behind, can I have his quarters?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda is 30 Lyrs away from the Silverhawk and in normal space
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Reading sensors::  CO:  Construstional integrity compromised on deck 16.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Decides warp 3 is a bad idea and moves to dock with the Silverhawk::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
<structural>
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Can we seal that deck?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: turns to check with engineering.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: At normal cruise speed we should maintain integrity. ::adjusts the SIFs to compensate::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  See if we can maintain warp 5.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO lands in the Silverhawks main shuttle bay
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: Engineering says the best they can do at the moment is weld the hull there.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Full impulse is restored to the Hawk and her shields are at 80 percent, environment and gravity restored
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Guess that will have to do for the time being.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Warp 5, aye.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: nods and gives the order for them to proceed.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Checking up on the Silverhawk status::
Action: The Andromeda is approximately 12 hours distant from the Silverhawk 
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
