TIME LAPSE SINCE LAST MISSION: None

"The Ambassador, Part IV": The pirates took the bait and attacked the runabout, but they also attacked the Quirinus.  When rescuing their crewmen with a beam out, enemy fire hit the hull and caused some damage; most notably, a power surge through the ODN conduits which caused the OPS console to explode.  The beam out was successful, and the runabout crew is safe.

ACTION: Once they detect that the runabout is now abandoned, the pirates break off their attack and warp out of the area.

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::On bridge::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: With nothing specific to do or need, she sits quietly at the back of the bridge.::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::On the Bridge::

INFO: Chambers is still unconscious with heavy burns and a skull fracture from being thrown from his exploding console

Medic_Delar says:
::receives the alert for medical alert incoming, glancing around quickly and suddenly realizing that the head nurse is nowhere to be found and he's in charge once again:: Self: Typical.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Heading for her station on the bridge, set up a work around the damage.::
FC_Flyer says:
::laying in the return course to station:: CO: Sir, the ship is ready to engage, and the area is now clear.
Medic_Delar says:
::quicksteps out into the main sickbay, rushing over to the injured Lt and pushing his way through the nurses, dragging a medical cart along with him:: Nurse: I need 3ccs of kelotane immediately.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Then assist another engineer in replacing the ODN circuits that were burnt out as a third monitors the engineering station.::
Medic_Delar says:
::makes a quick diagnostic glance over the OPS, his hands working on automatic loading a hypospray with terokine and setting the dosage, quickly jabbing it into Chambers' neck::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Hanging out near the rear of the Bridge as well, trying not to hover at tactical :: CNS: Station personnel on a vessel. What won't they think of next?
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
::at Operations station::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: It seems our roles have greatly changed... enough that we really are not needed here. So I do not have an answer for you.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Takor: Do we need to return to station for repairs or should we continue on?

INFO: Sensors show one of the pirates was unable to cloak and is limping, unable to reach maximum warp

Medic_Delar says:
::looks at the diagnostic readout on the medical scanner, wincing internally at the information:: Nurse: Secure the Lieutenant's head with the osteotractor! He's got a fractured skull, second and third degree burns and likely a few other things, we'll start on the worst.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: Have you decided when we should leave and for how long?
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Continues to coordinate repairs as she mentally flinches at the damage, the OPS Chief would of gotten hit pretty hard if the damage to the console was any indication.::
Medic_Delar says:
::locks in the osteotractor and begins regeneration of the fractured bone, taking the kelotane hypo and jabbing it into the Lt's neck::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Sickbay*: How's your patient? Does he need station facilities or can we continue on to destination?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Turns and looks seriously at him.:: CSec: Or if we should return? My position on the station is still open. :: Humorously:: It appears most individuals have a problem with those there.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Looks somewhat surprised :: CNS: I thought we weren't... not in front of Sulek.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::begins to wake it took about 15 seconds for him to feel his pain::
Medic_Delar says:
::watches the biosigns start to come a little way down towards normal, watching the nurses apply dermaline gel to the heavier burns and begin dermal regeneration to the lighter ones::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
:: Raises an eyebrow as she looks at her husband.::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Self: AhhOw! ::begins to reach for his face::
Medic_Delar says:
::grabs Chambers' hands quickly and pushes them down to his side:: OPS: Lieutenant, you're in the sickbay, please try not to move your head unless you want me to crack your skull instead of fix it.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Repairs complete except for cosmetic repair, she turns it over to her staff and turns to the XO:: XO: Sir primary repairs complete. Will Lt. Chambers be alright?
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: Sulek is not a fool.
TAC_Lt_Nishi says:
CO: Captain? Sensors are still picking up the last pirate vessel, the one we were able to hit. They're unable to cloak, apparently... or go to full warp. Can't tell if the others are leaving it behind or escorting it while cloaked.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Medic: My head already feels cracked! ::he barely gets out::
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CEO: I'm not sure what his status is at the moment.
Medic_Delar says:
::loads up another hypo of terakine for the pain, upping the dose another 5cc and jabbing it into Chambers' arm:: OPS: That's because it is, you have a fractured skull and heavy burns. That should help with the pain.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
XO: Yes Sir. I expect medical will notify us if there is any change. ::She says hopefully.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nishi: Let her go, but mark its path, for now.
TAC_Lt_Nishi says:
CO: Yes, Captain.
Medic_Delar says:
::let's the kelotane take effect, coagulating the blood and repairing damaged epidermis, grabbing a dermal regenerator and beginning work on Chambers' hands::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Very quietly :: CNS: Do you believe our... mission... is over?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CEO: I'm sure.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Returns to her station to monitor the status of the ship, after a nod to the XO.::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::sighs as his pain subsides a bit::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: I think those roles ended long ago if they even ever came to fruition. Nothing is definitive, unchanging.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Medic: How bad are the burns can they be fixed?
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
XO: Ops station routed to secondary console, replacing the surface console will take more time then we have but systems are operational.
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Looks off slightly, always wondering how much she really knew :: CNS: Maybe they did...
Medic_Delar says:
::nods as he works, watching as the burnt flesh dries and falls away under the dermal regeneration:: OPS: The ones on your hands and lower arms are the worst, but I'm more worried about your head. ::glances over at the osteoregenerator, noting it's slow progress::
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: What I do not understand, on top of the other changes, is why we are still here.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CEO: Excelent
Medic_Delar says:
Nurse: 2ccs of anti-pressure agent, I don't like the look of that dark spot. ::watches the nurse load a hypospray and inject it into the lieutenant, eyes the bioscanner and letting a little relief flood into his body as the spot begins to dissipate::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::makes sure the ops functions are routed properly to her console until another ops officer can arrive on the bridge.::
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I can see why you wonder that.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: We have options. Starfleet wants the ambassador on his way and pirates. To bad they did not prioritize it.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: Your thoughts or take on it?
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: There are times when I am glad I am not the captain. Now is one of them.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nishi: If we take a slight detour, could you disable the pirate ship?
CSec_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: My thought is that we shouldn't be discussing this here.
TAC_Lt_Nishi says:
CO: Assuming they're alone? We should outclass them alone, yes.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: I do not know about that. Long ears might actually put something in motion, one way or another. Kind of like taunting the enemy.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::focuses on her station wondering what the order will be and hoping it will be before the pirates get to far away.::
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::tries to look around with his eyes wondering how things were going::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
XO: We have orders to capture pirates as well. We have the opportunity.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nishi: Lay in a resolution.
CNS_Cmdr_Azhure says:
CSec: Or is that pull the tail of the tiger.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Tactical flight pattern alpha two.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: If you're asking an opinion, I say hell yes, go after the pirates.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ops: As soon as their shields are down beam out anyone you can get and notify the station to come get the rest.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Take us to red alert. Battle stations.
XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Aye. Aloud: Red Alert, we will be going after the pirates.
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
::assumes the secondary Operations Console::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Makes sure ops is securely routed to secondary console as ops officer takes over.::
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
CO: Engineering ready and on station.
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
CO: Aye Sir waiting for the shields to drop.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Engage. Let's go in at warp and drop right behind them.
FC_Flyer says:
CO: Aye, engaging at single warp jump...:::looks at Nishi:: now
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::double checks shields and systems::

ACTION: The Quirinus warps off after the pirates, ETA six minutes to intercept

Medic_Delar says:
::checks on the Lt's vital signs, snapping off the osteotractor and shutting down the process:: OPS: Your skull is repaired, and the bruising around your brain is gone, but you shouldn't be knocking your head on things for a few days at least.
Medic_Delar says:
::shoos away the nurses with the dermal regenerators, pulling out his medical tricoder and running the probe up and down Chambers' arms and hands:: OPS: Move your fingers for me please, Lieutenant.
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
::is ready to order a transport::

ACTION: The Quirinus approaches its prey

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nishi: Target engines and shields.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lorin: Get ready to lock on for beam out.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: If this is a trap, be ready to get us out of here, fast.
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
CO: Ready sir.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Now drop to match.
FC_Flyer says:
CO: Aye.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
CO: Shields and systems at full.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nishi: Fire
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Medic: Well can I move yet Doctor? ::thinks:: Can I return to duty?
TAC_Lt_Nishi says:
:: Nods and lets loose with the ship's weaponry ::
Medic_Delar says:
::sighs internally at the rushing around, but nods with one final check:: OPS: You should rest up, but I'm sure you're needed on the bridge. Take it easy, and don't head butt another console.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Medic: What was your name ?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Medic: On second thought what is my name? ::long pause::

ACTION: The ship was so damaged, that it took only a few moments to take its shields down

OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Medic: Just kidding
Medic_Delar says:
::blinks, glancing between the Lieutenant and the biosigns monitor:: OPS: I'm glad, because I was about to lock you away for more tests.
TAC_Lt_Nishi says:
CO: Shields are down.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lorin: Energize.

ACTION: The twelve members of the pirate crew are beamed to the brig

Medic_Delar says:
OPS: And it's Ensign Eli Delar, Lieutenant. I'm usually in the research lab, but we're a little short staffed.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Nishi: Take out engines....

ACTION: Sensors show the core of the pirate vessel is going critical, they set an auto-destruct

CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lorin: Can you download their last communiques and computer information?
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::looks alarmed:: Delar: You are a Medical Doctor right?
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
CO: I will try
Medic_Delar says:
::chuckles quietly:: OPS: Yes, sir. They let me use laser scalpels and everything.
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
::tries to hack into the pirate ship computer::
TAC_Lt_Nishi says:
CO: Captain, the ship is about to explode.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lorin: Get what you can...
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Delar: That explains your bed side manner I suppose. Still I owe you some thanks. So thank you.
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Take us to a safe distance.
Medic_Delar says:
::gives Chambers a genuine smile:: OPS: You're welcome, lieutenant. All I ask is you don't undo my hard work.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
CO: Attempting to strengthen shields even further....

ACTION: The enemy ship explodes; shields buckle but hold

OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
Delar: I will do my best but no promises Ensign.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
CO: Shields holding! ::She says as she is rocked about a bit but keeps her feet.::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Get us out of here.
OPS_Lt_Chambers says:
::slowly starts to head out of Sickbay::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Flyer: Takes us to the station.
Medic_Delar says:
::watches Chambers leave and moves to one of the other occupied sickbeds, checking the biosigns monitor and setting to work::
CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Lorin: Inform the ambassador there will be a short delay as we make quick repairs.
OPS_Ens_Lorin says:
CO: Of course sir right away.
CEO_Ens_Takor says:
::Works on coordinating repairs::
FC_Flyer says:
::Lays in return course and engages at warp speed back toward station::
SEC_PO3_Romanas says:
*Medic*: Petty Officer Romanas to Sickbay
Medic_Delar says:
::taps his combadge:: *Romanas*: Sickbay here, go ahead.
SEC_PO3_Romanas says:
*Medic*: we've taken on prisoners, and three of them are injured
Medic_Delar says:
::nods to nobody but himself, letting a nurse take over for his work and grabbing a medkit as he speaks:: *Romanas*: Understood, I'm on my way.
