Resume USS Andromeda "Counter Espionage" 10905.31
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The Doomsday Device and its escort are en route to Federation Space the system here is now clear of enemy ships
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aidan:  The coast is clear, bring us within transporter range of the AT.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aidan> CO:  Aye Captain.  ::engages engines and brings the ship out from behind the moon::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@*XO*: Sir, I'd say we'd better get to the surface if we want to get to the ship.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda and the Silverhawk emerge from behind the moon into orbit of the planet
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, bring your team to where we can transport you back.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::calls out to Sky so they can join the rest of the team::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Starts setting the Iconian gateway to link to the engineering deck of the escort ships::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::Keeps looking back at the gateway to see if he has set the right location::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Conor, please respond.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CO* I have an idea, I'll send the rest of the team up and get back to you in two minutes
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@All: Everybody else back to the transporter site
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@::Keeps an eye out for any robots, after all, an attack would mess up any get away..::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aidan:  Prepare to engage warp 7 once the AT is back on board.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
@::hurries up the stairs towards the beam-out site::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*:  Make it fast Conor!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Doomsday Device leaving LRS
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::gives up on the device, sets his phaser to overload, puts it on the gateway, and runs up the stairs::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aidan:  Once you're able to establish a lock, beam the AT up immediately.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Anyone leaving the dig site is now outside
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@XO: Going to blow it so the robots can't use it?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@TO: Hopefully otherwise we'll be back to clean it up
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aidan> CO:  Energizing now sir!
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
@XO: Glad we think alike.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Lt Cmr Wake rushes through the Gateway changing the target to SFC Earth
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aidan:  Do we have them on board?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Anyone on the surface outside the dig is retrieved
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::hurries from the TR to the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aidan> CO:  I've got all but Lt. Power sir.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
@::sets the gateway to the Andromeda bridge, deactivates the phaser pistol, and steps through::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The XO emerges from thin air onto the bridge of the Andromeda
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CO:  Then he'll have to fend for himself until we get back. Set an intercept course and engage.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
:: Steps onto the bridge and heads for his normal seat::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<CO=Aidan>
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: I'm home...
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Contact with targets lost on LRS
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::does a double take::  XO:  But...oh never mind, we're heading for the doomsday machine.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: The Iconian gateway back there will need to be deactivated later
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aidan> CO:  Captain, the doomsday machine is no longer on sensors.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Understood. Once we destroy this machine, we'll head back here.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  Othello, can you get a correct course from the doomsday's last known location?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: Will do, Cap'n. ::goes over to Tactical to perform the task.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Quietly following Varesh, takes a stand behind the captain’s chair.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Target's last know course was for the wormhole connecting to Federation space at warp 8
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  Sierra, do have all the information necessary for us to destroy this machine?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances over his shoulder at Sky and then looked back at the screen::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Yes... :: hands over the downloaded information that was the same of what had already been sent.::  Though when we are done here, I would really like to return.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: The target was headed for a wormhole, which ends in Federation space. Speed: warp 8.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Aidan:  Increase speed to maximum warp!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Target making better than warp 8 detected pulling away
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CMO:  I'm hoping we can return Sierra.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  We must... if nothing else, that information cannot be simply just left there for anyone else to access.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda increases to the mind numbing speed of warp 9.4...........structural integrity stress, stress on warp pylons detected all within design specs
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::reviews the information and hands the PADD over to Conor::  XO:  Read through this and make sure we have all the preparations made in order to destroy the machine.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: Cap’n, the target’s pulling away.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::takes the PADD and starts reading it::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::settles in for the chase::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  Keep 'em on sensors Othello.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 1 Destroyer breaks off to intercept the Andromeda, closing fast as both ships race towards each other, 7 minutes to intercept
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Ship is shaking somewhat
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: I got nowhere else to be, sir. ::Keeps watch on his sensor readouts.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: If nothing else, I want to figure out that telepathic script.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: I've got a destroyer breaking its path in an intercept course for us. Orders?
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  Understood.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  I also think there is a key to help control of your abilities there to.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Conor, tell me you have some good news with that information.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Destroyer closing fast, forward torpedoes armed
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Starts programming the computer with the data gathered:: CO: I'm putting this info into the computer, we'll soon find out if it’s good
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 3.5 minutes to intercept
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: Orders, sir? I dunno if weapons fire will destabilize the wormhole or not.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Then we had better go back. Not that I've used that trick in some time - it requires too much effort.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  Target their weapons and fire once we are in range.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: All tactical lights go RED, something is wrong the destroyer is on a collision course, she intends to ram!
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: Aye. ::Programs the weapons to target the destroyer's weapons.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::looks sharply at towards the tactical consoles::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: She's on a course to ram us sir! Evasive maneuvers are recommended.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Humor touches her eyes briefly as she watches the screen:: CNS:  The concern is more for when it happens at the worst possible time.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
<Ens_Greenhorne>TO: Um err I haven’t um err heard a shield order and um errr...
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Varesh, take over at the helm and alter course to avoid a collision course.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Raises shields, reinforcing the forward shields with extra power.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aidan>  ::stands up and relinquishes helm to Varesh::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::dashes over to the helm and alters the ship's course and pulls up evasive:: Aidan: Thanks.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::brings up an engineering console and looks at the warp drive status::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  If you have some fancy moves in there, I'm more than happy to see it happen!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 1 minute to intercept destroyer brakes to warp 2..........cutting loose with all photon tubes and blocking the way, turning to broadside like a roadblock!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grunts at the Captain's words and drops the ship from warp completely::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  Fire when ready!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Andromeda drops out of warp from warp 9 everything shakes!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Calculate any incoming torpedoes, I need to work evasion solutions
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Silverhawk firing all banks at a warp 6 pass
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Does his best to aid the CNS. Readies his weapons.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: grabbing the back of the captains chair until things settle enough, she then turns to make her way down to medical::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Opens fire while the computer assists his calculations of the torpedoes.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::bites his lips as he works, making the ship dance so tactical can have the best firing solutions without the ship being shot to pieces::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the lift stops, she steps out and heads for the double doors, entering.::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO:  Conor, I hope those preparations work!
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 3 torpedoes hit the Andromeda's forward shields sparks fly, however the Andromeda and the Silverhawk's combined fire hit home and the poor destroyer takes all hits and folds like a tin can, MUSH!
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  I'll try to keep casualties down to a minimum!~~~
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Good flyin'. Remind me to send out for a flight jacket for ya.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grunts as the torpedoes hit the ship, grins as they destroy the other ship:: CO: Resuming course, maximum attainable speed. ::relays the information to the Silverhawk::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::grabs hold of his chair::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: You aren't the only one
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Thanks, I'll add it to my collection. But Aaron taught me how to fly like this. He and the Captain are the only others that could pull it off.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CO:  I would appreciate it, as would your crew.~~~~
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  I second that statement Othello. ::grins::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
~~~CMO:  But I know you're aching to be busy somehow!~~~
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Sighs some relief as the destroyer folds.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The hull fragments bounce off the shields of the Andromeda making rainbow scenes as the Andromeda and the Hawk return to warp space, leaving a mess of debris and plasma in their wake
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins over his shoulder at the Captain::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
All: Nice shot.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: LRS lost contact again
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Varesh, how long before we intercept?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::taps controls:: CO: I'll tell you as soon as we have them back on LRS.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::looks at Aaron and the CO:: CO/Aaron: More Knights who can fly? Are you sure we're not related?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Medical always ready, her people take the few incoming minor injuries.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Based on original projections, the Doomsday machine must be at the wormhole by now
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  If you get into trouble as much as Aaron here does, you might very well be related! ::looks over at Aaron and chuckles::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: The Doomsday machine should be at the wormhole according to projections. We'd better hotfoot it.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron>  CO:  Hey, I just like being where the action is!  And if there is no action, I create it!  ::grins::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  Let's do it!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Already hotfooting it, sir.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: I've been in trouble all my life. Ask my Mum. ::chuckles as he goes back to work.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: LRS detecting a swirling maelstrom singularity, definitely a wormhole, wreckage of a Romulan Warbird detect near event horizon...nope make that 2
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
<Aaron> TO:  I knew there was something I liked about you ace!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Double checking his calculations::
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  Can we destroy that wormhole before they enter?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: Wormholes are barely understood by Starfleet as is. We can try, but I can't guarantee it.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Are they still on this side of the wormhole?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Doomsday Device is at main impulse approaching the event horizon, the Robotic Navy is forming a picket line to provide a rear guard
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Aye. CO: There is a way to destroy it, but we'd end up stuck out here.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: Sir, if we can destroy the Doomsday machine this side, our problems will be reduced.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
TO:  If it will keep that machine from reaching Federation space, then that is what we will do.  We'll worry about getting back later.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: 7 minutes to wormhole sector
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CNS:  That's what I'm hoping for Varesh.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: While things are relatively quiet, she downloads the data she was able to collect... so relatively small...::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CO: I go where you go.
Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
All:  We will try to destroy that machine before they enter the wormhole.  If we are unable to do that, then we will try and collapse the wormhole before it enters.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CO: We have the codes that will make it vulnerable.
