CSO_Washudoin says:
::Pulls the tactical screen up on the main viewer. Sitting at his station monitoring the situation, preparing for anything::
CIV_Mrlr says:
::at the OPS station in Operations having given the CO her recommendations::
XO_Danforth says:
::continues to monitor the evacuations, but concerned about the impact::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::hears the CIV's suggestion:: CIV: How many Runabouts are on the ready to go.
CEO_Hoyt says:
::walks back and forth in the brig...almost wearing a whole in the deck::
CMO_D`han says:
::in the infirmary::
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Ensign, what is the likely damage of impact with a cargo of 10,000 tons of deuterium?
CTO_Powers says:
::At his station with Keanu::
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO: We can have three up and running right away with the fourth right behind.
EO_Parsons says:
::arrives in ops looking around for the Chief:: XO: Excuse me, Commander?
CIV_Mrlr says:
XO: I'd say catastrophic...I can give you exact numbers if you like but basically it will destroy a great portion of the station.
XO_Danforth says:
EO Parsons:  Yes, Mr. Parsons?
Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: If three don't do it, I doubt a fourth would help.
Host CO_Claymore says:
Operations: OK Listen Up!
CEO_Hoyt says:
XO: Any idea where the Chief is? We need him in Engineering
XO_Danforth says:
CIV: Coordinate an evacuation of as much of the station as would be damaged in a near miss explosion.
XO_Danforth says:
::listening to the CO::
EO_Parsons says:
::stops and listens::
CIV_Mrlr says:
CO: I was thinking of the fourth as a ferry for the wounded, sir.
CMO_D`han says:
::pacing back and forth hating the waiting::
Host CO_Claymore says:
Operations: We'll send out three runabouts, giving us a bigger chance of getting the freighter. Objectives are to #1 keep it from hitting the station, #2 put it in orbit. #2 isn't necessary to the current mission we can still go after the ship after we save the station. XO: you'll take point, CIV & CTO: You'll back up.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::starts the evacuation orders for the station closest to the estimated impact point::
XO_Danforth says:
CO: Aye, sir.  CIV/CTO: Miss Mrlr, Mr. Powers, you're with me.
XO_Danforth says:
::gets up and heads for the TL in a rush::
CTO_Powers says:
XO: Understood, sir.  ::Follows the XO::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CIV: We have to slow it down before we can transport anyway.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::stands up and hands over the evacuation orders to the duty OPS:: CO: Aye sir...if we can't slow it down we should at least be able to alter it's trajectory.
CIV_Mrlr says:
::follows the XO::
TO_Keanu says:
::Takes over the tactical station::
XO_Danforth says:
::as he is headed to the shuttlebay:: *CO*: So, sir, the plan is to get out there, intercept the ship, match speeds, and then apply the tractor beam to slow it down, correct?
XO_Danforth says:
TL: Shuttlebay.
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Sorry to bother you sir.....but do you know where the Chief is?
XO_Danforth says:
::talks to the TL after the CIV enters::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: The Runabouts are to spread out along the freighters vector and use their tractor beams in succession.
Host CO_Claymore says:
Parsons: He is in the brig right now.
XO_Danforth says:
::heads toward the first of the three runabouts:: *CO*: We'll stop it, sir.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Keeping an eye on the situation, and the sensors::
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Sir?? In the brig? I didn't know
CIV_Mrlr says:
::follows along and heads for one of the other runabouts.  Hops in and starts the start up sequence::
XO_Danforth says:
::initiates the startup sequence and requests clearance for launch from OPS::
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Don't worry about it, take your station and get me a structural report on the freighter
CMO_D`han says:
*Operations*: When do you think the first wounded will arrive?
CTO_Powers says:
::Boards the USS Tripoli and completes the start up sequence::
EO_Parsons says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir ::goes over to the Engineering Station and tries to get the report::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*XO*: Get going... you're clear.
XO_Danforth says:
# COM: OPS/CO: Launching.  ::launches out of the shuttlebay and takes the point::
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Calculate coordinates and send them to the runabouts.
CTO_Powers says:
$::Follows the XO's runabout, staying to his prearranged position::
XO_Danforth says:
# COM: Other runabouts: Miss Mrlr, Mr. Powers, take the assigned coordinates as discussed with the Captain.  Let's give it all we've got.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Understood.
CIV_Mrlr says:
@::eases the runabout out of the bay after the XO and falls in behind him:: COM: XO: Aye sir, I'm on your portside.
EO_Parsons says:
CO: I have a report coming...still sketchy at this distance....however it appears that there impulse drives is becoming unstable...I can't get anymore then that sir. Sorry.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Gets the coordinates for the runabouts together and sends them out :: CO: Coordinates sent Sir.
Host Brett says:
<Duty OPS> *CMO*: Unknown ma'am.  I would guess in a little over an hour.
CMO_D`han says:
*Duty OPS*:  Thank you.
Host CO_Claymore says:
Self: If we can't slow that ship we aren't going to be able to save them or ourselves...
CMO_D`han says:
::sighs::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: Sir, I've received the coordinates for the second point and am heading there now.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: XO: Are you in position?
XO_Danforth says:
#::heads toward his position and waits with eager anticipation::
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV: Good job, Miss Mrlr.  COM: CTO :Mr. Powers, are you in position?
CIV_Mrlr says:
@::pulls up the runabout and waits::
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: Yes, sir.
CTO_Powers says:
$COM: XO: Aye, sir
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Raise shields, the tractor beams might cause the ship to go unstable.

Action: Minutes pass and the runabouts intercept the freighter and fall in along side it.

Nurse_Betty says:
::walks over to D'han:: CMO: What is troubling you? I can tell you are a bit upset... besides the crisis.
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Sir....there impulse reactor is becoming unstable....it doesn't look good from what I can get. It might blow before it gets here and it might not. ::raises shields::: We should let the runabouts know
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Pass it along.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV/CTO: Activate tractor beams together and slow this thing down.  Synchronize on three...two...one.  Now.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Aligns the sensors to monitor the runabouts every move and situations, keeps a lock on the freighter::
CTO_Powers says:
$::Activates his tractor beam on key::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@::deploys tractor beam::
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: Well.... it's Lan.... I feel awful... he... well he told me he... loved me and... I just did not feel right saying the same back....
EO_Parsons says:
COM: XO/CTO/CIV: Watch the freighters Impulse Reactor....it's not very stable....could blow with little to no warning.
Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: So.... what's wrong with that? If you don't feel that way. ::shrugs::
XO_Danforth says:
#::shakes his head at the incoming warning:: Self: Splendid.
CIV_Mrlr says:
@::scanning the freighter:: COM: XO: Sir, I'm reading two life signs faint amidships.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CTO: Mr. Powers, how much of this radiation can we stand before it becomes lethal?
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV: Miss Mrlr, can you get a transport lock on either lifesign?
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: Well... his dad died recently and.... he said he thought of me and I brought him strength....and well.... I just feel bad.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: I'm not seeing a difference in the freighter's vector, update the data what does the computer say?
Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: Well.... why do you feel bad?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CSO: Acknowledged, I'm checking Sir
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: Negative sir, too much interference from the radiation.  ::continues to scan and passes the information along to the station OPS::
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: Sir, we're getting radiation leaking into the runabouts.  The ship is going to explode within the hour, and there are two lifesigns but we cannot beam them out nor can we go in and get them.
CTO_Powers says:
$::Runs his calculations:: COM: XO: I estimate about fifteen or twenty minutes of radiation, but I'm not a doctor.

Action: The freighter fights the tractor beam like it wants to stay on its original course.

Host CO_Claymore says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: I need that data now!
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: We've got about 20 minutes before we need radiation therapy.
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: Well... I mean he said he loves me and I know what if feels like not to be loved back... we've all been there.... right?
CTO_Powers says:
$COM: XO: Sir, the freighter isn't slowing.  We need to knock out the engines... a concentrated phaser blast could do that.
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sis yes Sir! :: Smacks his panel ::
EO_Parsons says:
COM: XO/CTO/CIV: I wouldn't do that if i were you....it could still overload the impulse reactor.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: CTO: Get on it.
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Right now this station takes priority over the ship.
CTO_Powers says:
$::Didn't realize the Captain was listening in::
Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: Yeah.... We've all done the heartbreak... so is there a reason you don't love him back? Or is it just because... one of those nebulous things?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir the computers not showing any change as of yet.
CTO_Powers says:
$::Begins calculations for targeting the engines:: COM: XO: Permission to break formation and fire?
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV/CTO: Okay, fire a concentrated blast at the impulse reactor and peel away using maneuver delta two.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV/CTO: On my mark.
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: Sir...I could dock with the freighter .
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: At least get the people out first.
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: Well.... we hardly know each other.... and he says he loves me... I mean we haven't even gone out on a date. How can he know?
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Captain...if they make one wrong move they are going to take them selves out....I would strongly recommend not firings on the engines.
Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: I don't know.... sometimes you just do... it isn't like you can choose who you love all the time.
CTO_Powers says:
$COM: XO/CIV: That's too risky.  The radiation exposure would likely overcome you before you completed your objective.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV: Do you think you can withstand that much radiation?  Do you have a radiation suit in your runabout?
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO/CTO: I believe I can get in and out before it overcomes me.  I think it's worth a shot to get them out alive and give them a chance.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: Sir, Ensign Mrlr has requested permission to dock and attempt a rescue while Mr. Powers and I continue to use the tractor beams on the ship.  I think it's worth the risk.
CIV_Mrlr says:
@::looks around and sees an EVA suit:: COM: XO: Sir, I have an EVA suit.. that should shield me some.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::listening in to the conversation:: COM: CIV: If you go and it comes time, we'll have to destroy the ship.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV: It's a good idea Ensign, but I'm going to be the one to go.
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: CO: Aye sir...understood.
XO_Danforth says:
::goes and get's the EVA suit from the runabout and begins putting it on::
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Captain....I have an idea...I may be able to tap into the Freighter’s Computer and try and do something with it.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: XO: The same goes for you Commander. That ship has to be stopped...
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Try it.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: I understand, sir.  I know the risks.
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Let me try  that before we send Mrlr in please?
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV/CTO: I'm going to dock now you two.  Give me as much time as possible, but you heard the Captain.  The safety of the station is first and foremost.
Host CO_Claymore says:
TO: Calculate the blast radius if we blow up that freighter.
EO_Parsons says:
::stars to try and establish a link with the runaway freighter:: CO: trying now sir
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Not enough time.
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Monitoring the radiation filling the runabouts ::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: Aye sir.  ::pulls her runabout up to point::
XO_Danforth says:
#::begins docking procedure::
EO_Parsons says:
::sends out a narrow data link beam to the freighter and tries to get into the main computer core of the Freighter::

Action: The EO establishes a link with the freighter's computer.  It is driving the ship, a type of autopilot.  Also, telemetry shows the impulse drive is malfunctioning and appears to be in a "runaway" mode.

XO_Danforth says:
#::once docked, heads out to the ship in his EVA suit carrying a tricorder and a phaser::
CMO_D`han says:
::nods:: Nurse: Yes.... but I... well I 'd want to know more about him before I decide whether or not I love him.... but I suppose I think there is potential.
EO_Parsons says:
Self: YES! ::loud enough for the whole OPS to hear::
Host CO_Claymore says:
::looks at the EO:: EO: What was that?
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Captain I did it...I have a connection....the computer is driving....sort of a auto pilot. The telemetry shows the impulse drive is malfunctioning and appears to be in a Runaway mode so to speak
XO_Danforth says:
#::immediately heads toward the only two active lifesigns in a run::
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Do you have navigational control?
EO_Parsons says:
::tries and establishes navigational control of the freighter::
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: You don't even need to have control of the impulse engine, thrusters will do the job.
EO_Parsons says:
CO: No sir....i can't establish Navigational control...
EO_Parsons says:
::tries thrusters::

INFO: On board the freighter the scene is grim.  Radioactive steam fills much of the ship and alarms blare loudly.  Immediately inside the docking hatch are two bodies, both male in coveralls.  Dead of severe radiation burns.

Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: Well potential is good... why don't you just plan to date him and see where it takes you? Get to know him better.... and well see if there is chemistry or not.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::walks towards the EO:: EO: Tell me you have the ability to fire the thrusters.

INFO: As the XO moves through the ship, he nears the small, Spartan sickbay.  Inside, against one wall, are two stasis pods.

EO_Parsons says:
CO: I am going to have to disobey that sir...I don't...but i think i can try and disable the Autopilot
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: Sir, it's pretty ugly in here.  I've found the lifesigns.  They are in two stasis pods, but I don't know their condition yet.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::nods in half-hearted defeat::
EO_Parsons says:
::sends a computer virus to target the auto pilot systems of the Freighter...::

Action: XO's communication is garbled but readable.

XO_Danforth says:
COM: CO: Sir, I don't have much time.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: XO: If you can get the pods out you should do so now, if you can't then evacuate.

Action: The EO's virus disables the malfunctioning computer's autopilot easily.

EO_Parsons says:
CO: The auto pilot is off-line
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: I'm glad you showed up...
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: Well.... that is exactly what I plan to do.... But it seems to me that he is kinda rushing things... telling me he loves me so... soon.

INFO: Inside the pods, two small children can be seen.  Readouts on the pods show they are suffering from severe radiation poisoning.  The radiation has broken down the seals of the pods and penetrated the pods.

EO_Parsons says:
CO: Thank you sir.
XO_Danforth says:
#Self: Damn.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: CIV: Try tractor beams again, be gentle.
XO_Danforth says:
#::breaks open the pods enough to get the children out.  And runs as fast as possible to the runabout.::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@*CO*: Aye sir ::locks on with the tractor beam and starts to slow the runabout down hoping to slow the freighter::
Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: I know this advice isn't easy.... but try not to feel pressured. ::smiles:: So he loves you.... big deal.... and if you decide you like him enough to say the same one day.,... ::shrugs:: who knows where that will take you?
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Watching the ensuing situation with great wonder and awe ::
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Do you have thrusters yet?

Action: The tractor beam begins to effect the freighter.  While it still powers forward at full impulse, it is being slowed a bit by the runabout.  But the strain on ship and beam emitter grows.

CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: CTO: See if you can lock on and pull the freighters trajectory over.
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: Um.... well I don't really know if I'll have that chance. Lan is in the brig.
Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: The Brig??? Why?
EO_Parsons says:
COM: CIV: Careful!  The strain is growing
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Thrusters are off-line...i might be able to eject there Impulse Manifold and possibly there Engine core to slow them down

Action: Weighed down by the children, and weakening from the radiation, the XO staggers toward the docking hatch.

CIV_Mrlr says:
@*EO*: Tell me when it reaches the breaking point.  I'm going to try and pull it to the side.
EO_Parsons says:
COM: CIV: Aye...just do it slowly and you shouldn't have any problems.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: Sir, the radiation is weakening me.  I've got the children and am heading back to the runabout.
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: Because he... took a runabout to Betazed without authorization or official leave.... because of his father. While I understand the circumstances.....  I wonder if waiting a few minutes to get permission would have made a difference in his timing of getting to Betazed.
Host CO_Claymore says:
::thinks it over:: EO: No, the engines are probably too weak for that. What about the cargo bays, I've heard of ships using them to maneuver by letting the air out. It might not be much but ever meter counts.
CIV_Mrlr says:
@::gently pulls the runabout to port keeping an eye on the tractor beam and the ship's stress points::

Action: The CIV's tractor beam gradually pulls the freighters bow away from Arcadia and onto a course which will miss the station.

Action: The XO reaches the hatchway.

Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Is the XO in his runabout?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Sir, they've pulled the freighter off course to the station. :: Keeps watching the sensors::
XO_Danforth says:
#::enters the ship and closes the hatch as quickly as possible::
CMO_D`han says:
Nurse: I mean did his Father die within mere minutes of his arrival? Or was he dead already or.... was it hours later?... but I suppose from a Starfleet point of view that would not make a difference... AWOL is AWOL... ::sighs::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: Sir, are you all right?  Do you need assistance?
EO_Parsons says:
CO: You're right... I will try and do that....::taps into the Cargo Bay controls:: COM: CIV: Mrlr...I am going to try a emergency decompression of the main cargo and shuttle bay on the freighter...is the Commander back on his runabout?
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Yes it seems he has just made it to the hatchway and should be out of there any second
XO_Danforth says:
#Computer: Computer, initiate disengage sequence and pull away to a safe distance.
Host CO_Claymore says:
COM: Runabouts: Alright people get back here ASAP. We'll transport you straight to the Infirmary when you are within range and remote pilot your runabouts.
Host CO_Claymore says:
CSO: Go ahead and take remote control of his runabout, get it here fast.
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV: Miss Mrlr.  Remind me to recommend you for a commendation for quick thinking in the field of action.
Host CO_Claymore says:
*CMO*: Prepare for severe radiation poisoning.
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: EO: Aye...the XO is on board.  Disengaging the tractor beam.  ::pulls away::
CSO_Washudoin says:
CO: Understood. :: Makes the runabout move at super speed back home::
XO_Danforth says:
#::feels extremely weak, but smiling::
EO_Parsons says:
CO: Ready to decompress the cargo bays on the Freighter sir
XO_Danforth says:
#Computer: Computer, head for the station.  Engage auto pilot.
CMO_D`han says:
::holds her finger up to the nurse:: *CO*: Aye. Are there any burns?
Nurse_Betty says:
::moves away to gather up the hyronalyn injections::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@::grins:: COM: XO: All in a days work sir. I'll monitor you home. ::heads for home following the XO's runabout::
CTO_Powers says:
$::Follows the XO's and CO's orders, following them in::
Host CO_Claymore says:
*CMO*: ... Just be ready for anything.
EO_Parsons says:
::decompresses the main cargo bay on the freighter hoping to alter it's course::
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CO: Sir, two children incoming with severe radiation burns and a XO with radiation burns also, but not as severe.

Action: The Runabouts head toward the station, the freighter angles away.

CMO_D`han says:
*CO*: Very well.... I will do my best... ::Thinks: "the more information I have the better prepared I can be....":: Thank you.
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: Stand-down the alert, but keep our shields up. I think it best to leave the freighter to the Thomas.
EO_Parsons says:
CO: The freighter is angling away

Action: The runabouts reach transporter range

Nurse_Betty says:
CMO: We'll talk about Lan later.... ::smiles::
EO_Parsons says:
CO: The runabouts in transporter range
CSO_Washudoin says:
:: Watches the freighter head away from the station, and continues to drive the runabout home::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: Sir, I suggest you transport yourself and the two children to sickbay immediately.  We'll take care of the runabout.
EO_Parsons says:
::stands down the alert but keeps shields up and lowers them to transport the runabout occupants to the Infirmary::
XO_Danforth says:
#COM: CIV: Another good idea.  You're full of them today aren't you?
XO_Danforth says:
#Computer: Computer, initiate transport to sickbay.  Three people.
CMO_D`han says:
::waits by the main array of biobeds with two hypos of hyronalin::
CIV_Mrlr says:
@COM: XO: I had a good breakfast ::grins:: See you in sickbay, sir.
Host CO_Claymore says:
EO: When we are out of radiation danger from the freighter you can deactivate shields.
EO_Parsons says:
::nods at the captains orders::

Action: The XO, and his two passengers are beamed to Sickbay.  The freighter continues on it's new course and passes far far from Arcadia.

CMO_D`han says:
::sees the children and the XO materialize, rushes over to the children with her hyposprays::
