::leaving Senior Officer's Lounge after having breakfast with Tari, who left about five minutes ago::

Mo_Utoo says:
Vekh: When your finished, you can return to duty

FCO_Vekh says:
<COMP> Personall Log for Ens. Drayan Vekh closed ::chirps::

OPSDanfor says:
::Walking down the hall near his quarters::

OPSDanfor says:
Computer:  Computer, where is Counselor Savar?

FCO_Vekh says:
::looks at the MO:: Utoo: that would be ... desirable ::starts to get out of the biobed::

Ens_Arcon says:
::In security control compiling the huge report on the "orion business" for Star Fleet Security and the ACO.::

CNS_Savar says:
<Computer>: Counselor Savar is in his quaters.  Hi is available for comminication.

ACO_Danos says:
::stands next to a railing overlooking the Promenade, watching the various comings and goings - the heartbeat of the station::

CEO_JJ says:
::enters a Turbolift:: Self: Humm, where to?, *Bridge*: CEO to Bridge, Anyone need me up there?

OPSDanfor says:
::Walks to the Counselor's quarters::

Mo_Utoo says:
Vekh: Just let pain be your guide

OPSDanfor says:
::Arrives at Counselor's quarters and "rings the bell"::

CNS_Savar says:
::Hears the proximity alarm at the quarters:: Enter

FCO_Vekh says:
::standing in front of Utoo's desk:: MO: We Orions know a lot about pain. I'll be getting to Main OPS ::stop in his track:: MO: Thanks anyway for your services ::smiles jokely::

CEO_JJ says:
<Ens_LaK> *CEO*: No sir, we've got it under control

FCO_Vekh says:
::exits Sickbay, felling relieved::

OPSDanfor says:
::Enters the counselor's quarters:: Hi, just thought I'd drop by.  It's been awhile and I thought we could chat over drinks at the bar.  I owe you one anyway.

CEO_JJ says:
*Ens_LaK*: Alright, Claymore out, TL: Main Engineering

FCO_Vekh says:
::enter TL, rubbing his aching left arm:: TL: Main OPS

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: You wish to recreate by drinking beverages... facinating.  I would appreciate your offer.

ACO_Danos says:
::turns around and walks toward the turbolift, trying to get used to the loose-fitting civilian clothes he donned for this bit of down-time::

CEO_JJ says:
::TL stops, doors open:: ::walks out::

CNS_Savar says:
::Stands to follow Danforth:: OPS: After you.

FCO_Vekh says:
:: TL stops at Deck 1. Vekh exits ::

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Thanks. ::Leads the way to Arcadias::

CEO_JJ says:
::down the cooridor, around the turn, through the doors, hears the humm::

CEO_JJ says:
::enters office and starts looking at the notes of the day::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Runs a system check on all the biobeds::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: takes a look around and head for his FCO board. Sitting down, Vekh activates it ::

CNS_Savar says:
::Sits down in Arcadias and orders a sparkling water::

OPSDanfor says:
::Arrives at Arcadias with CNS and sits down at an open table:: So, Savar  what do you think of recent events?

ACO_Danos says:
::after waiting for the turbolift for a little while, gets in and punches in OPS as the destination::

OPSDanfor says:
::orders some grape soda::

Ens_Arcon says:
::Yawns, streaches and looks around Security Control::  Security Chief:  Chief I'm heading to my quarters I'll finish work on this there.  Let me know if anything exciting happens.  Cheers.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: Which event are you refering to?  I was absent for some of the mission.

FCO_Vekh says:
Computer: List incoming ships by ETA

FCO_Vekh says:
<COMP> Working ::chirps::

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Well, I've got to admit that the energy being that attacked us one my first mission really had me spooked.

CEO_JJ says:
::reads through notes but likes Note 1 the best, Run Diagnostics on medical systems:: Self: well, off to Sickbay ::bends over and picks up a Toolkit:: *Sickbay*: Doc? You in?

Ens_Arcon says:
::heads out onto the promenade::

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: I mean, all those people dead.

OPSDanfor says:
::sullen look on his face::

ACO_Danos says:
::steps out into OPS and casually makes his way around the room::

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: You refer to the Metrons incident, correct?

CEO_JJ says:
::walks outside of Main Engineering, back through the cooridors and into the Turbolift:: TL: Deck 5, Sickbay

FCO_Vekh says:
:: sees ACO arrival :: ACO: Greetings, sir.

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Yeah.  There are times when being a Vulcan would sure be useful.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: It was an unfortunate tragedy to deal with.  I had a 124% increase in my workload.

ACO_Danos says:
::nods to the burly Orion::  FCO: Mr. Vekh.  I take it you've reciovered from your injuries?

Mo_Utoo says:
*J* Sorry Chief, I must have drifted off, yes I'm here

OPSDanfor says:
::ASTONISHED!!!:: YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT THE DEATH OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WAS "UNFORTUNATE?"

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: How in the world do you counsel people with that frame of mind?

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: In this universe, and with no disrespect intended, but 'hundreds' is a mere fraction of the population.

Ens_Arcon says:
::Whistles Atholl Highlanders::  Self:  I should get something to eat first I think.

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: Mostly, sir. CNS Savar and MO Utoo did a nice work on me. My arm still aches sometimes and I've got a small scar on my forehead

CEO_JJ says:
*MO*: I'm coming up to run some diagnostics on the Medical Systems, got any patients I should worry about

Mo_Utoo says:
*J* Nope I'm alone here

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: An alarm goes off in Ops.  The LRS have detected something.  It has an extremely high power output reading.

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Savar, come on.  While that may be true in numeric terms, the loss of that many people on THIS station was a very high proportion.

ACO_Danos says:
::grins::  FCO: Feel free to...appropriate..a dermal regenerator.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: On this station, correct.  However, when you took your Starfleet Oath, you understood what may happen... and civilians knew what dangers space held.

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: We Orions do not have such ... cosmetic worries, sir. ::notes alarm and get alert:: ACO: Something on the LRS, sir

CEO_JJ says:
*MO*: Well, go ahead and start preping for my, I'll be doing the standard Level 3.

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Doesn't that still affect you?  I mean, Savar, these were people we worked with.  Don't you have any other response?

Ens_Arcon says:
::Whistles Scotland the Brave::  Self:  So many planets...What to eat this time?

ACO_Danos says:
::raises an eyebrow in curiousity::  FCO: can you identify?

Mo_Utoo says:
::The scan finnishes, and the doc finds something perculiar::

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: I know what you are refering to.  Yes, I will admit that perhaps I feel regret that those people met that fate.

CEO_JJ says:
::TL Stops:: ::walks out and down the cooridor entering Sickbay:: MO: Hello

FCO_Vekh says:
:: tries to fine tune the scan :: ACO: I'm detecting an elevated power output on the same position

Mo_Utoo says:
::Seeing the CEO enter:: Good day

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Thank you! ::visible relief at Savar's admission of regret::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: nods negatively with his head:: ACO: No, sir. Too much distortion. Trying to filter it out now ::works on his board::

CEO_JJ says:
MO: Do you have a specific need for one of the systems at the moment so I can plan around it?

ACO_Danos says:
FCO: Coordinate with sensors on other Federtion ships and installations in the area.

Mo_Utoo says:
CEO: I found that their is a malfunction in biobed 2. No I dont need anything, unless a patient comes in

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: However, I have already dealt with that and come to terms with the fact.

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: How do you counsel people who feel deep remorse over the incident?

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Personally, it really affected my outlook.  You know, changed my perceptions a bit.

Ens_Arcon says:
::Chooses the 2nd food stand and orders the special of the day::  Vendor:  Don't tell me what it is until after I've eaten it OK?  ::Goes to sit at the nearby table::

CEO_JJ says:
::brings out a table and sets toolkit on it:: MO: Alright, I'll start with biobed 2, and leave bed's 7-10 operational until I'm done with the others.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: As the readings become slightly more clear, the energy pattern becomes recognizable.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: When people are grieving, the best thing is to help the people understand that grief, guilt, and sorrow are natural reactions, and help them understand what happened.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: Allowing them to talk freely helps greatly

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: Aye, sir. ::open starfleet channels:: COMM:Ships in the vicinity: This is Arcadia Station. We are detecting unidentified contact on the coordinates that follow. Our sensors are distorted. Please coordinate your scans on the area.

CEO_JJ says:
::types in a few commands into a console, the lights around biobeds 1-6 dim::

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: You have an interesting style, Savar.  I'll grant you that. ::pauses to drink:: By the way, I don't think I formally congratulated you on your promotion.  Cheers! ::raises glass for a toast::

ACO_Danos says:
::moves to stand next to Vekh's console::

CEO_JJ says:
Computer: Activate Level 3 Diagnostic Subroutine, no voice communications needed.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: Thank you for that belated congratulation ::Chinks glass::

FCO_Vekh says:
::surprise:: ACO: I'm getting clear readings, sir. I would tell that the energy patter closely matches the one recorded for ... the Metrons!

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: So, how does it feel to be a full Lieutenant?

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: But there are other patterns along that I cannot identify

OPSDanfor says:
::grins with a satisfied look::

ACO_Danos says:
::frowns::  FCO: Summon the senior staff, and go to yellow alert.  And do it quietly.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: I am only A LtJG

CEO_JJ says:
::gets down under Biobed 2 with a tricorder and a few other tools:: MO: Any other problems to report, maybe a few unexplainable readings?

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Oops.  Sorry.  That's right.  Still, a promotion is a promotion.  Must feel pretty good.

CNS_Savar says:
::Catches a reading in the psychological medium:: Self: Interesting

FCO_Vekh says:
:: plainly surprised :: ACO: Sir! The contact is comming toward us at warp 9.999999!

OPSDanfor says:
::Chiding Savar about feeling things::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: open private channels to senior officers:: *Senior Officers*: Report to the Command Center immediately. We are at Yellow Alert.

Mo_Utoo says:
J: Nothing but what your looking at

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The energy readings suddenly spike and actually damage the sensors with a serious flare.

ACO_Danos says:
FCO: and if it hits us, nothing will stop it.  So we shouldn't worry about that.

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: I believe we should report to Operations immediately.

FCO_Vekh says:
:: mutters under his breath :: ACO: Sir, there goes the LRS...

CEO_JJ says:
MO: Oh well, looks like this will have to wait, Computer: Activate recording sequence, have the results ready for me when I return, reactivate biobeds when diagnostic is done

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Why?  What's wrong?  ::concern on his face::

Ens_Arcon says:
<Sec Chief>*Ens Arconus*  We have a problem sir.  Yankee status.

ACO_Danos says:
FCO: Understood.

OPSDanfor says:
::gets up out of chair and follows Savar::

CNS_Savar says:
OPS: We have an interesting situation arrising ::Heads to OPS::

Ens_Arcon says:
*Sec Chief* Acknowledged.  I'm heading to ops.

CEO_JJ says:
::allows the MO to walk out first::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: call up the SRS :: ACO: Short range sensors show the contact slowed to .99 C

Mo_Utoo says:
FCO: On my way ::Leaves sickbay:: J: Thank you

Ens_Arcon says:
::heads for TL, leaving his meal untouched::

OPSDanfor says:
CNS: Come on, Savar.  What's going on?  You can't leave it at that... ::following Savar to OPS::

ACO_Danos says:
FCO: keep track of it.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Station actually shudders from the shockwave of the energy flare.

CEO_JJ says:
::pushes button to call for TL::

OPSDanfor says:
::almost loses balance::

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: That would not be difficult sir. ::taps his board feverishly, left arm beginning to ache a bit more::

CEO_JJ says:
::feels the shake:: MO: Sounds like Red Alert should be called, I think we're under attack.

OPSDanfor says:
::Enters OPS with Savar::

ACO_Danos says:
::takes hold of the FCO's console as the station shudders::

OPSDanfor says:
::Goes to his station and relieves Ens Lackey::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Steps into the TL:: Arcon: Hello, how are you?

FCO_Vekh says:
:: grabs console, a spike of pain in his left arm :: Self: Arghh..!

CEO_JJ says:
::Steps in TL and nods to CSec::

Ens_Arcon says:
MO:  Good Doc yourself?  Heading to Ops I presume?

OPSDanfor says:
Ens Lackey: Thank you, Ensign.  ::studies the readings for a second to gain his bearings::

Mo_Utoo says:
J: Red alert, I dont think I'll be in OPS very long

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: Enhancing SIF generators to compensate, sir.

Mo_Utoo says:
Arcon: I am fine, Yes I am

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: Sir, shields are ready.  Would you like me to raise them, sir?

CEO_JJ says:
MO & CSec: I wonder who could be attacking if it is one though?

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Take sensors.  FCO: Rest that arm, Mr. Vekh.

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: Yes, sir!

FCO_Vekh says:
:: looks at sensor readings:: ACO: Sir, I have a confirmation. It is indeed the Metron city sir. And there is another ship attacking it now!

Ens_Arcon says:
CEO: Orions come for payment maybe?

CEO_JJ says:
::TL stops::

OPSDanfor says:
::Conducting interior and exterior scans of the station::

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Good idea.  Shields up.

Host JasonReed says:
@COMM:  Arcadia Station:  This is ....ason Re..., Feder....ion repr....tive for the Met.....s....... requi....ssistance..  please resp.......

Mo_Utoo says:
::Steps off last::

OPSDanfor says:
OPS: Raising shields. ::raises shields::

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: With all due respect sir, I'll left that for later

CEO_JJ says:
::lowered voice:: CSec: they'd be pretty stupid too

CEO_JJ says:
::walks over to Engineering Station::

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Open a channel.  Get him back!

OPSDanfor says:
ACO:  Sir!  We're receiving a transmission from the Metrons...

Ens_Arcon says:
::Nods to the CEO and moves to Tac station  2::

OPSDanfor says:
::Boosting power to comm::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Takes the science console::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: moving to tactical to monitor the action ::

OPSDanfor says:
COMM:Reed: Sir?  We're losing you.  Can you repeat your transmission?

CEO_JJ says:
::activates the Engineering Station, then looks for a situation report, messages CSec and MO that is wasn't an attack but the Metrons again::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Replies to the message:: J: Maybe they'll fix my biobed!

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: I'm reading significantly less life forms on the Metron city, sir. The trouble is serious.

CEO_JJ says:
OPS: I'm going to try and boost reception ::gets to work::

Ens_Arcon says:
::reads msg from CEO and sets internal sensors to look for additonal lifesigns and power spikes appearing on the station::

OPSDanfor says:
CEO: Thanks!  Get me all the power you can!

Host JasonReed says:
@::makes some slight system adjustments::  COMM:  Arcadia Station:  I'm on the Metron vessel, many Metrons are dead.. we are being attacked by a very powerful enemy.  We need assistance..

FCO_Vekh says:
:: call up a tactical reading of the engagement and scans power levels of both ships::

ACO_Danos says:
FCO: Any chance you can lock onto Captain Reed?

Mo_Utoo says:
ACO: I better get back to Sickbay

ACO_Danos says:
MO: Very well.

Ens_Arcon says:
ACO:  Sir do you want the Thomas launched?

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: Sir.  We're being hailed by Capt. Reed.  He says the Metrons need our help.

Mo_Utoo says:
::Nods to the ACO, and steps onto the TL::

FCO_Vekh says:
ACO: I'll see to it, sir. The energy signature of the attacking vessel nearly matches that of the Metrons themselves.

ACO_Danos says:
Arcon: no, keep it here for now.

Mo_Utoo says:
TL: Bridge!

CEO_JJ says:
::increases power to the Subspace Transmitter, points the antenna to the Metron Ship and has it hold there::

OPSDanfor says:
CEO: I need the scanners fixed, too.  Can you help me with that Chief?

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: reply that we will offer any assistance we can.  Ask him what he needs.

Host JasonReed says:
@::looks around the "bridge" of the city-ship, at the dead bodies on the ground::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: tries to get a lock on Reed :: ACO: Sir, the lock is too tenuous due to the energy output of the Metron vessel. I'd advise against attempt a transportation.

CEO_JJ says:
OPS: I'm working on it, just keep an eye on the SIF for me

OPSDanfor says:
COMM: Reed: Can you provide us with your exact location?  What can we do to help?

OPSDanfor says:
CEO: You got it, Chief.

ACO_Danos says:
FCO: Noted.

Ens_Arcon says:
ACO: Aye sir.  Security ready at Battle stations.  Decks 14 and 15 secured.

OPSDanfor says:
::Monitoring the SIF strength::

ACO_Danos says:
Arcon: very good Ensign.  Sound General Quarters.  Red alert.

Mo_Utoo says:
<TL> Utoo: there isn't a bridge onboard any of the buckingham class station, the closest thing is wher.........

Mo_Utoo says:
TL: Shut up! Take me to sickbay

CEO_JJ says:
::lowers the resolution of the sensors in an attempt to get them to work slightly better::

Host JasonReed says:
@::brings the city-ship closer to Arcadia, knowing that the enemy won't attack the station, just the city-ship::

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: Sir, shields are up and all weapons are standing by.  The Chief is working on restoring sensors as we speak.

Mo_Utoo says:
::Steps into sickbay::

Ens_Arcon says:
ACO:  Sir the docked ships any instructions?

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: Noted.

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: We might be able to extend the shields around the city.  Should we try, sir?

FCO_Vekh says:
:: stunned at the readouts :: ACO: Sir, over 56% of the Metron city was already obliterated. I suggest we lunch an assitance task force.

ACO_Danos says:
Arcon: Reverse what I said earlier.  All combat capable starships should be deployed in tactical formation.

Ens_Arcon says:
ACO:  Aye Sir.

CEO_JJ says:
::looks at Danos on that statement and thinks about the Thomas::

ACO_Danos says:
OPS: How much would doing so weaken our shields?

Ens_Arcon says:
OPS:  I'll have all ships link data to you.

FCO_Vekh says:
<launch>

OPSDanfor says:
COMM: Reed:  Captain.  Can you give us any information as to the source of the conflict?  What happened?

Host JasonReed says:
@COMM:  Arcadia Station:  I'm coming aboard the station, since this cannot be done through communications.  Meet me in the briefing room.  ::uses some old Borg tactics to help protect what's left of the city-ship (alternating energy frequencies), then instantly disappears, reappearing in the briefing room::

OPSDanfor says:
Ens Arconis: Thank you.

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: I'm calculating that now, Sir.

Ens_Arcon says:
ACO:  Intruder alert in the briefing room.  One person.

Host JasonReed says:
::keeps part of his mind focused on the city-ship::

ACO_Danos says:
::overhears communications:::  All: You heard him!  Senior staff to the briefing room.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The unknown aliens fire again on the Metron city/ship.  One energy beam actually misses and nearly hits the station.

CEO_JJ says:
::Sets station to auto and gets up::

Host JasonReed says:
::rapidly inputing information into the computer consoles in the briefing room::

Ens_Arcon says:
ACO:  The alien ships are firing and coming damn near to us.

CEO_JJ says:
::feels the station rattle as he walks up the stairway::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: moves to briefing room ::

OPSDanfor says:
Ens Lackey:  Ensign!  Take over here! ::Leaves immediately for the briefing room::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Prepares a team for potential patients, even though he doesn't know what to expect::

Ens_Arcon says:
::heads to the briefing room::

ACO_Danos says:
::heads for the briefing room, entering ahead of the others and looks incredulously at Captain Reed...back again::

OPSDanfor says:
::shocked at the sight of Captain Reed::

OPSDanfor says:
Self: Wow.

FCO_Vekh says:
:: on ACO's toes, also sees Captain Reed::

CEO_JJ says:
::sees Captain Reed, and notices that he looks the same but different::

Host JasonReed says:
::in civilian clothes::

Ens_Arcon says:
::Scans Capt Reed to make sure he's really him::

OPSDanfor says:
Capt Reed: Good to see you, sir.

ACO_Danos says:
Reed: I'd give you the tour, but this hardly seems a time for pleasantries, and I think you know your way around.

Host JasonReed says:
::too busy to say hello to anybody::

FCO_Vekh says:
Reed: Sir, are you injuried?

Host JasonReed says:
::turns from the computer console::  FCO, I'll be fine.  Okay, here's the problem..

CEO_JJ says:
::Takes his seat and notices his console has had information inputted into it by the kiloquad::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: hears the problem ::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: sits to the left of CEO JJ ::

Ens_Arcon says:
::Scans Capt Reed to make sure he's really him::  All:  Yep that's him.

ACO_Danos says:
::doesn't sit down for this::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Sees a nurse about to sit down on biobed 2, but stops her just in time::

OPSDanfor says:
::waits near the door in case he has to rush back to OPS::

Host JasonReed says:
Crew:  Over time, the Metrons have made some enemies.  They haven't always been as diplomatic as they were when they visited Arcadia the first time.

FCO_Vekh says:
:: noticing that in the hurry he had taken the CO seat, Vekh quickly gets up again::

ACO_Danos says:
Reed: And I take it we've just been introduced to one of those enemies.

Host JasonReed says:
This particular enemy, the Shksota, have a power that very nearly matches that of the Metrons.

OPSDanfor says:
::Thinks to himself, "This can't be good."::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The aliens fire once again and a shot glances the Station's shields.  Power is knocked offline for 2 seconds.

CEO_JJ says:
::thinks of something to say, but doesn't::

FCO_Vekh says:
Reed: If they are so powerful, what help can we even provide you sir?

Ens_Arcon says:
::shakes his head and tries to pronounce Shksota in his head::

ACO_Danos says:
::looks down at the FCO, who too the words right out of his mouth::

Host JasonReed says:
The Metrons are a fairly peaceful race, so they had little in the way of offensive capabilities, which is why the city-ship took such a heavy beating.  ::thinks about moving the city-ship a little bit farther from the station::

CEO_JJ says:
::looks at control console:: All: They scored a hit to our shields, if they actually hit the station we won't be able to do anything about it

Mo_Utoo says:
::Can feel the bad Karma, even from multiple decks away::

FCO_Vekh says:
:: notes a blink on the lights ::

ACO_Danos says:
CEO: Then I suggest you not worry about it.

Mo_Utoo says:
::Sees the lights dim::

OPSDanfor says:
::quietly hits comm badge:: *Ens Lackey*: Ensign.  Reroute power to reinforce the shields and call me if you have any problems.

Host JasonReed says:
Crew:  It is our belief that a focused energy blast, directed from the deflector dishes of all the ships you have available, along with a directed blast from the station, might damage the enemy to a point where they would no longer pose a threat.

FCO_Vekh says:
Reed/ACO: This enemy must have some weakeness. We should endeavour to exploit it.

ACO_Danos says:
Reed: something along the lines of what was once considered a viable weapon against the Borg?

CEO_JJ says:
Reed/ACO: The Thomas is still undergoing repairs from the run in with the Orions, I don't think she will do well

OPSDanfor says:
Reed: Sir, how can we pinpoint them?  With their speed, won't they be able to avoid the beam?

Host JasonReed says:
Danos:  Precisely.  The Shksota have not been introduced to such a form of attack, and do not have much of a defense against it.

FCO_Vekh says:
CEO: Sir, there are 2 other Excelsior starships on dock currently

Host JasonReed says:
OPS:  Leave that to me.  I'll draw their fire, and keep them in one spot.  They will ignore you, since they don't believe you pose a threat to them.  The element of surprise is essential.

ACO_Danos says:
Reed: You'll have to provide us with the specs for this energy release.

FCO_Vekh says:
OPS: Dan, I think the Captain will use the City-ship as a bait to keep them here

Host JasonReed says:
Danos:  I already have.  Check the computers.

CEO_JJ says:
Vekh: yes, but any modification to those systems will take longer they weren't meant to be modified like the more recent ships, we'll have to use the Thomas

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: Sir, if you'd like, I'll return to my station and begin working on the power distribution necessary for such a beam.

CEO_JJ says:
::looks at console, studies... studies... studies::

ACO_Danos says:
::nods::  Reed: Good, one less thing to worry about.  OPS: Transmit that data to all other ships.  CEO: You'll take the Thomas.  Have yourself beamed aboard at the first opportunity.

FCO_Vekh says:
CEO: Perhaps the Metrons can speed up the modifications necessary.

Host JasonReed says:
CEO:  I do not believe the plan will work unless the other two ships are in on it as well.  If you need me to, I can have the appropriate modifications made in little time.

OPSDanfor says:
ACO: Aye, sir. ::leaves for his station but keeps comm line open to hear the conversation::

CEO_JJ says:
ACO: Yes, sir, may I take Ens Arcon and FCO Vekh with me

CEO_JJ says:
Reed: that would be good

ACO_Danos says:
::nods to Lt. Claymore::  CEO: Good choices.

FCO_Vekh says:
:: stands at ready to follow the CEO ::

Host JasonReed says:
::disappears, reappearing on one of the Excelsior-class ships::

Mo_Utoo says:
::Utoo sits down on one of the working biobeds:: Self: Man I have got to get one of these for my place!

CEO_JJ says:
