 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::Is sitting in sickbay looking over some notes::

<CEO_JJ>
 @::at helm on Thomas:: ACO: Sir are you alright! ::yelling::

<CNS_Savar>
 @::On the Thomas::

<Mo_Utoo>
 *CSO* Are you in need of my service in ops?

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Gets emergency medkit from under console and checks the FCO::

<CEO_JJ>
 @::piloting towards the poles of Arc IV::

<CEO_JJ>
 @CNS: Is he alright?

<ACO_Danos>
 @::groans from underneath a support beam and shoves at the girder, burning his hands in the progress::

<CNS_Savar>
 @ACO: Sir, Vekh is unconscious.  I suggest moving him to Sickbay

<CSO_Tyler>
 ::looks around at all the unfamiliar faces in OPS::  *MO* Your presence would be delightful Ensign

<Ens_Arcon>
 @::at tactical trying to predict the attack patterns of Orion ships::

<Mo_Utoo>
 *CSO* On my way up sir

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::walks out of sickbay and heads towards the TL::

<CEO_JJ>
 @Arcon: Try rerouting and boosting power to the aft shields.

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Moves to ACO and scans him:: ACO: Sir, you've got nothing serious.  A few bruises.  You will live.

<ACO_Danos>
 @::manages to push the beam aside and half stands, half slumps into the command chair::  CNS: very well.

<Ens_Arcon>
 @CEO: Understood.  transferring.

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::Steps onto the TL::

<Mo_Utoo>
 TL: Ops!

<CNS_Savar>
 @ACO: However, you may wish to apply this to your hands.  ::Hands over burn cream::

<AGMDave>
 ACTION: The freighters begin to close on the Thomas.

<Ens_Arcon>
 @::reroutes all avail power::

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::The MO steps onto ops:: CSO: Where do you need me?

<CNS_Savar>
 @ACO: Sir, permission to take Vekh to Sickbay and prepare for casualties?

<Ens_Arcon>
 @Bridge:  The freighters are closing with us.

<ACO_Danos>
 @::nods curtly to the counselor and applies a bit of the salve before shoving it aside::  CNS: Get him to sickbay!  CEO: I take it you've had enough of this.  Any chance we can mount an attack?

<CSO_Tyler>
 ::gestures to the other science console::

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::Walks up to the science console::

<CNS_Savar>
 @ACO: Yes, sir.  ::Picks up Vekh and moves into TL:: TL: Sickbay.

<AGMDave>
 ACTION: The freighters begin to encircle the Thomas.  They are slow, but maneuverable.

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::Runs a system check of all Science systems::

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  They are trying to surround us.

<CEO_JJ>
 @ACO: I'm not sure sir, they seem to be very powerful a head on assault may not do any good

<ACO_Danos>
 @::moves to stand next to the CEO at the helm::  CEO: If we fired a phaser beam, just a low power one, to lock their shields to one frequency, could we slip a few torpedoes through?

<CSO_Tyler>
 MO: How far away is the melee

<ACO_Danos>
 @::Nods to Arconus::

<CEO_JJ>
 @Bridge: I'm dodge as long as I can

<CEO_JJ>
 @ACO: Only if we know the frequency, and we'd have to hold the phaser shot till we discovered it

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  Setting it up now sir.  They are nimble for freighters.  Hard to maintain a lock on.

<ACO_Danos>
 @CEO: Stay with them.  We're maneuverable too.  And shift the phaser frequency until you find it. 

<CNS_Savar>
 @::In TL::  Computer, erect a sound dampening field around Civilian Tari's biobed.  ::Arrives in Sickbay and sets Vekh on another biobed::

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  Weapons systems are 75% effective at the moment.

<ACO_Danos>
 @Arconus: We'll have to get through their shields to do any damage, and if we can do that, 75% should be just fine.

<CEO_JJ>
 @ACO: I'll do my best ::does a swinging tumble::

<Ens_Arcon>
 @::locks on to the freighter to starboard with the phaser and locks in a solution for the torpedoes::

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO: Targeting starboard ship.  Ready to fire Sir.

<ACO_Danos>
 @::looks back at tactical grimly::  Arconus:  if you can get lock, target their primary reactor.

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::Is checking with the sensors:: CSO: the battle is taking place above the mining colony

<ACO_Danos>
 @Arconus: Fire at will.

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  Aye Aye. Firing.

<CEO_JJ>
 @::gives Arcon his best shot profile::

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Stabilizes Vekh:: Self: He is sufficient.  ::Checks Tari and finds her resting comfortably::

<CSO_Tyler>
 Self: To far for weapons

<AGMDave>
 ACTION: Thomas' weapons hit their mark, but do little damage.

<Mo_Utoo>
 CSO: What are your orders?

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  We hit them.  No effect.  Do we try it again?

<ACO_Danos>
 @Arconus: Tactical analysis...what would happen if we entered the atmosphere and they pursued?

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  They appear to be armored damn it.

<CEO_JJ>
 @::looks at view screen:: ACO: I suggest we try and make a run from them until we have enough time to send a team to the surface, they will probably give up if we take the surface

<CSO_Tyler>
 MO: Let's be on the safe side...go to Red alert.. Raise the shields, arm phaser banks and torpedo bays, place them on ready status

<AGMDave>
 ACTION:  All three freighters fire at once concentrating fire on Thomas' engine nacelles.

<Mo_Utoo>
 ::Walks up to the Tactical console:: CSO: Aye sir, Red alert, We

<ACO_Danos>
 @CEO: Or they'll destroy the ship and cut off the away team from support. No, we have to stop them now.

<CEO_JJ>
 @::rocks::

<Mo_Utoo>
 CSO: All weapons armed, and ready

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Holds steady against biobed, glad that the restraints hold the patients in::

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  They are trying to disable the engines.

<CEO_JJ>
 @::Checks read outs:: ACO: Sir, the hit the nacelles, engines are down to 45%

<Ens_Arcon>
@ACO: Shields at 50%.

<Mo_Utoo>
 CSO: We could send runabouts to assist the Thomas with the colony

<ACO_Danos>
 @Arconus: Reroute shields and damage control!

<CSO_Tyler>
 MO: What good would it do with those ships out there. The runabout wouldn't stand much of a chance

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  Aye sir, rerouting damage control teams responding but power is dropping.

<Mo_Utoo>
 CSO: But the runabouts could be filled with armed troops to help
 take the colony back from the Orion syndicate

<AGMDave>
 ACTION: The freighters fire another concentrated burst.  Thomas' engines are gone.

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Watches as two engineers hobble in, one clearly burned::
 Crewmen: Over there.  ::Points to biobed and picks up a Tricorder::

<ACO_Danos>
 @CEO: Any chance a trip through the atmosphere would degrade the armor on those ships?

<CEO_JJ> 
@ACO: Engines gone, we've lost warp

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Feels shudder:: Self: Engine explosion.  Not good

<CSO_Tyler>
 MO: Yes.. but the freighters will pick up the runabout on sensors and focus their attack, which will be brief, on the runabout.. The Thomas couldn't hope to distract all of them

<CEO_JJ>
 @ACO: Probably not their shields would hold

<ACO_Danos>
 @CEO: Put everything into the impulse engines then.

<AGMDave>
 ACTION: Another vessel appears in front of Thomas.  It is a Vor Cha Class.  It fires every weapon it has destroying one freighter and disabling the other two.

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Scans others as they come in and realize the skeleton crew of MOs aren't enough:: Self: They say this is bad, but Computer, activate the EMH.

<CEO_JJ>
 @Bridge: We're saved?!

<Mo_Utoo>
 CSO: We could mask the signatures of the runabouts by modifying the deflector shields::

<ACO_Danos>
 @Self: well I'll be...the cavalry.

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO: Ship decloaking.  Vor Cha class.

<CNS_Savar>
 @<Computer>: Insufficient power to run program 'EMH'

<ACO_Danos>
 @Arconus: Open a channel with the Klingon vessel.

<CEO_JJ>
 @::checks identity protocols:: ACO: Sir, I know that ship

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  They are firing.  One freighter destroyed.  Two remaining appear to be disabled.

<Ens_Arcon>
 @ACO:  Hails freq. open sir.

<CNS_Savar>
 @::Time to pull extra hours:: MO: Take those three engineers.  I've got these stabilized

CEO_JJ says:
@ACO: Sir, I recognize that ship, it is the Qa`Nok`bo

CNS_Savar says:
@*Bridge*: What happened?

Host ACO_Danos says:
@CEO: And you have some connection to this ship?

Ens_Arcon says:
@CEO:  Good guess.

CEO_JJ says:
@ACO: The CEO is my best friend sir, he saved my life a few times

Host ACO_Danos says:
@CEO: Then by all means, you can initiate contact with them.

Host Klingon says:
COMM:Thomas: This is the Qa'NoQ'bo.  Do you require assistance?

Mo_Utoo says:
::Sees the CSO unconscious on the floor:: *Sickbay* I need a med. team of nurses up to OPS now!

CEO_JJ says:
@ACO: Yes sir,  COMM: QNb: This is the Thomas, we're a little damaged, but I think we have it under control. There is a more pressing matter however the colony on the surface has been taken over by the Orion Syndicate

CNS_Savar says:
@MOs: Get those two stabilized.

Ens_Arcon says:
@ACO:  Sir should we board and capture the 2 remaining freighters before they destroy themselves?

Mo_Utoo says:
<Nurse> *MO* Aye, Sir!

Host Klingon says:
COMM: Thomas: This is Commander Gravit.  Do you have a Jason Claymore aboard?

Host ACO_Danos says:
@Arconus: tractor them if we can spare the power.  If not...well...we all make our own hell, and so did they.

CEO_JJ says:
COMM: QNb: Gravit!!! I'm here.

CEO_JJ says:
COMM: QNb: Qa`plah, good shot my friend

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The other two freighters explode.

Ens_Arcon says:
@ACO:  We don't have to power at the moment sir.

Ens_Arcon says:
@ACO:  There they go in good old Orion style.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Rocks with explosion:: MO: Status.  <MO>: All patients stabilized

Host ACO_Danos says:
@::nods grimly to the security chief and turns away from tactical to look at the view screen::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Seeing the nurse enter ops:: Nurse: Take the CSO down to sickbay, run a full scan, and report any anomalies

Host Gravit says:
COMM: Jason!  Perhaps I should have destroyed your ship instead!

CNS_Savar says:
@*ACO*: All patients stabilized.  Do you wish for me to return to the bridge?

Host ACO_Danos says:
@*CNS* Please do.

CEO_JJ says:
@COMM: Gravit: I don't think your superiors would have liked that too well, and what would your father think, killing a blood brother?

CNS_Savar says:
@::Moves out door:: MO: Take charge.  *ACO*: On my way, sir.  ::Enters TL::

CNS_Savar says:
::Arrives on Bridge and takes Counselor's Chair:: ACO: Sir.

Ens_Arcon says:
@ACO:  From Damage control sir...the warp engines are beyond repair.  Repairs to all other systems underway.

Mo_Utoo says:
Comm: Thomas: ACO: ACO: Are you in need of any assistance? I was watching the battle on the Long rage sensors

Host Gravit says:
COMM: Jason: Details, details.  What's this about a fight coming up?

Host ACO_Danos says:
@::moves to the CEO's side::  CEO: Perhaps you should consider what is going on, on the ground.

Host ACO_Danos says:
@::nods to the counselor and Arconus::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Hails the Thomas::

Ens_Arcon says:
@:: begins to scan the colony::

CEO_JJ says:
@ACO: Yes sir COMM: Gravit: Our colony was taken over by the Orion Syndicate, we need to retake it, we would be honored to have your Klingon Allies join us in the battle.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Station has been declared safe for all traffic.

CNS_Savar says:
@::Notices comm:: ACO: Sir, comm coming in from the station.

Host Gravit says:
COMM:Jason: Orions?  Those honorless, spineless slugs?  We would be happy to join you.

Host ACO_Danos says:
@CNS: I'll leave that in your more than capable hands.

CEO_JJ says:
@COMM: Gravit: See you on the surface, Qa`plah!

Ens_Arcon says:
@::links colony tactical data to the Klingon ship::

CNS_Savar says:
@ACO: Yes, sir.  ::Opens Comm Link to Station:: COMM: Arcadia: This is Counselor Savar.

CEO_JJ says:
@ACO: Permission to leave the bridge ::standing:: and transport to the surface once in range

Mo_Utoo says:
Comm: Thomas:CNS: Hello Counselor, Are you in need of any assistance? I was watching the battle on the Long rage sensors

Host ACO_Danos says:
@CEO: I expect you to keep the Klingons under control.  This is a Starfleet mission, not a way to achieve glory. 

CEO_JJ says:
@ACO: I lived among Klingons for 6 months, and I'm still here, I think I can handle them sir,

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Klingons, with the help of The Arcadia Crew, easily retake the colony with light casualties.  The Qa'No'bo tows Thomas back to the station.

Ens_Arcon says:
@CEO:  They can fight, boy can they fight.

Mo_Utoo says:
::Walks to the airlock to greet the ACO::

CEO_JJ says:
@Ens: True, that's what makes them so great

CNS_Savar says:
::In Sickbay:: *MO_Utoo*: We could use your help.  We have several wounded.

Mo_Utoo says:
ACO: Welcome back to the station, It was nice to command for a while
