Host Steve_SM says:
Claymore:  The Unforgettable Fire
The Claymore has slipped into orbit and deployed her fighters.  As shuttlecraft loaded with medical and aid teams prepare to journey to the scarred planets surface, ships in the 1129th pick up four craft departing the planet...

EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::In main engineering, studying what is known of the trilithium concentrate.::
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo says:
::On the bridge... decides to get to work on his pointless job and hopefully quickly move on to something more useful and walks over next to the XO, waiting to be acknowledged.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Leans forward in her seat....interesting situation......Sets her padd aside and glances at the CO.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*CIV*:  Have a squadron pursue them.  Try and contact them.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
*CO*:  Understood....::closes the commlink and forwards the orders.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Nods to herself more than anything else and continues going about the analysis of the situation...including possible hostiles...::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Stands up and heads to a computer console to access any information.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: I've got some information on the trilithium...it's fairly old by our standards it came from a fifth generation Galaxy class starship
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*EO*:  From a Federation ship?
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo says:
::Watches as the XO walks right past him, hoping that he was merely too small to be seen and follows her to the console, coughing to try to get her attention.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Begins filtering non-official communications from the comm network.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: I meant from around that time period, it's not necessarily federation
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Without looking up:: CNS: Is there something I can help you with?
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Just that it's fifth generation trilithium.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
ACTION:  THE KANEDA'S DO A QUICK FLYBY OF THE DEPARTING CRAFT
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo says:
::Frowns and walks next to her, accessing the computer console now in front of him.:: XO: Cold, Kaly. I was hoping for at least a hello.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Clears the relative analysis from his screen to avoid confusing himself.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*EO*:  Understood.  Theoretically, could you scan the area and find a ship that would create that age of trilithium?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Realizing who he is...well almost who is he...or at least who he used to be...:: CNS: Hello...Now is there something you need, Endo?
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Yes, We'd need their warp signature. And a sample of their trilithium
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*EO*:  I will contact the medical shuttles and have them try and locate that type of trilithium on the planet.  The best we might be able to do it a residue sample.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo says:
::Opens up an archive of recent uses of trilithium bombs... finds way too many for his preferences.:: XO: Endo? Has the exalted captain actually succeeded in implementing this new formality system in everyone?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Seeing absolutely nothing in the database.... tries to control her frustration...Lack of progress not being something she's accustomed to.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Even an infinitesimal amount would suffice.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Frowns, reading over the reports, and orders the fighters to remain a safe distance back.::  *CO*: Captain, Wolfe here.  Those craft appear to be heavily modified peregrines.  One of them appears to have external hard points for external mounted weapons, but they are empty at present.  They are powering up their warp engines and have refused all hails.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: Perhaps not, but it is protocol.  ::Leaves the console and heads back to her seat.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: I'm still getting conflicting reports from the planet.  I would say at this point almost all comms are speculation and panic.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*CIV*:  Suggestions commander?
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Leaves main engineering and heads for the bridge to use the entire sensor array of the bridge.::
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
*CO*:  I'm sure they have something to do with this, Captain, but we don't have the forces in place to pursue.  If those are Peregrines, then my boys are outgunned - it would be suicide to order them to stop those craft.  Best we could do is track them on their departure and extrapolate a probable course.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  Understood.  Contact one of medical shuttles near the capital city and see if they can get a sample of the trilithium used.  Get it to the EO ASAP.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Walks back to the XO's seat, standing right in front of her.:: XO: Kaly? Is something bugging you? ::Grins:: Is my new look that unpleasing?
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Arrives on the bridge and takes the engineering station, accessing the sensors from there, scans for any unusual radiation.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: If I said, "yes," Would you go away?
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Becomes suddenly serious.:: XO: No
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*CIV*:  ::sighs::  Begin to track them and relay their signatures to the incoming fleet.  They might be able to track them and capture them.  I think they have something to do with this as well.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Aye sir.  COMM: Medical Shuttle 1: I need a trilithium sample collected as close to ground zero as possible and immediately transported to Claymore's engineering lab.  Lt. Hayward's attention.  Claymore out.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: Well then your new look doesn't matter to me one-way or the other...Now, if you don't mind I have reports to go over.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
*CO*:  Sorry Cap'n - best we can do, from the looks of things.  The planet needs our full attention; aside from Romeo 1 thru 4, the scopes are clean.  Nothing on the big board
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
XO: Actually, Kaly. As the wonderful mission orders of our beloved captain state, you're supposed to help me find out more about the bombing.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
<Shuttlecraft Glasgow>  *OPS*:  Understood Mr. Sorvik; we’ll get any residue we can find.  Glasgow out
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*CIV*:  Understood Commander.  Thank you.  Keep me advised.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
*CO*:  Aye, Wolfe out.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Is there any way we can attack a homing beacon to one of the fighters, Sir?  We might be able to track them with minimal peregrine casualties to our fighters.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Gives his console a sharp hit, frustrated.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Captain Shuttle 1 has been notified and will get a sample as soon as they can.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
EO:  Lt. Sorvik has ordered a shuttle to get you a sample of the trilithium.  From that can you track a ship?
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Notices the XO talk to the CO and looks up to the ceiling.:: Self: This is what I get for following orders?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: It stated to see if we could find out about past hostilities to the planet.  There isn't much to find out.  Now if you don't mind.  ::Nods to the CNS and engrosses herself in her padd...or at least seems to.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
CO: In theory, yes. However, we'd more than likely need to be in a close proximity. I doubt LRS would provide us with the amount of data needed.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
XO:  I'm not sure but that is a good suggestion.  *CIV*:  Bridge to Commander Wolfe.  The XO has suggested that we try and attach a beacon to the 4 peregrine ships.  Can it be done?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Overhears the XO and CO talking.::  XO/CO:  Sirs.  Should we not try and contact them from the Claymore?
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Thinks about it a moment::  *CO*:  Checking, sir.  One moment.... ::begins going over the standard load out for the Kaneda's.....nothing::  No, sir.  The Kaneda doesn't have any ordinance for that type of mission
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
XO: Kaly... is there any particular reason for your curtness today? And don't try to be elusive, I'm the counselor now, and now emotional health is my responsibility
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  ::thinks::  Attempt it Mr. Sorvik...
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: Why would I try to be elusive?  You wouldn't have the guts to remove me from duty a second time for curtness, I'm sure.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*CIV*:  Understood.  Bridge out.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Understood.  COMM: Peregrine vessels:  This is Lt. Sorvik with the Federation Starship USS Claymore. Come in.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
ACTION:  THE PEREGRINES SILENCE IS DEAFENING.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
XO: I'd say try me, but I don't think I actually have the power to do that this time around... I'd have to talk to Hunter first. ::Gets serious again:: XO: Seriously though, is it just a bad day or is there something else?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
COMM: Peregrine Vessels: This is the USS Claymore please acknowledge.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Sir no reply yet.  Shall I use a more direct approach??
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: Not the time and certainly not the place...Maybe later if you don't mind.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  Like what Lt?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
Perhaps a threat to be boarded?
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Nods:: XO: Of course. We'll talk after our duty shifts over, then?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: I'm pulling an all-nighter, so I doubt it.  Maybe some other time...
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  We would have to leave orbit to do that.  Am I correct?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CO: Sir, if you don't need me, I have work and research to do from my office.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: That would be correct Captain.  But if they leave the system we may never find them again.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
XO: 1700 in two days.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
CNS: If I'm available....
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
XO:  Dismissed.  Be prepared to return to the bridge if need be.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Frowns:: XO: You'll be available, won't you?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Nods slightly and heads for the TL defying the CNS mentally to follow her.:: TL: Deck 2.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Sigh:: Self: Well THAT went well.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Quickly grabs a console at the back and attempts to catch himself up on what has happened while he was talking with the XO.::
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
ACTION:  SEVERAL OF THE SHUTTLECRAFT RETURN FROM THE SURFACE TO RETRIEVE MORE SUPPLIES AND RESCUE TEAMS, AMONG THEM THE GLASGOW, WHO DEPOSITS THE TRILITHIUM RESIN TRACES INTO BIO-CHEM LAB 2 AND NOTIFIES THE EO.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Exits the TL and heads into her office tossing the padd against the wall.....watching it shatter.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  Can you scan to see who is on board?
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Rushes off the bridge to analyze the trilithium.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: I can attempt to but they are on the other side of the planet.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Reads quickly over the transcript of bridge conversations taken by the computer.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Attempts to scan the Peregrine vessels.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Takes a deep breath and really cares to be anywhere but her office...her quarters...and sinking down into her chair, briefly contemplates what to do.::
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
ACTION:  THE PEREGRINES LEAP TO WARP, DEPARTING THE SYSTEM.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  I don't want to leave orbit.  The planet needs us more at this time.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Enters bio-chem lab two and begins analysis.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Sir the Peregrines have just jumped to warp.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Scans were incomplete to much planetary interference sir.
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Begins using the runabouts to plot an escape course for the Peregrines...hmmm... 20 explored systems along that course, 10 with habitable planets.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  Begin to track them.
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Aye sir, but we will loss them if we do not leave orbit.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Turns around and looks for the EO, but can't find him on the bridge.:: *EO*: Hey, Woody... it's Corz--Lieutenant Endo... could you do me a favor?
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
Commander Weis:  Keep me informed of the track - I want to know where they went within the hour.  You have the TIC....::heads for the lifts::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
::Begins tracking the Vessels using maximum output from the long-range sensors.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
OPS:  Understood Lt.  Relay their warp signature to the incoming ships.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Stops dead in his tracks from what he's doing.:: *CNS*: What! You_Are_Dead!
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::shivers::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
*Commander Wolf*:  Shall I tap into the Starfleet Intel network to aid in tracking the vessels?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Pushing herself up from her chair...heads over to the pile of debris and kneels down to pick up the largest pieces of the padd...::
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
::Notices a couple of bridge officers turn around to look at him funny.:: *EO*: Uh no... I'm Sonorlon... the new host for Endo and ship's counselor
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
*OPS*:  Already being done, Lieutenant - looks like 10 planets on that course are possibly habitable in 20-charted systems.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
*EO*: Sorry if I frightened you... you're analyzing the trilithium, right?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Standing rather stiffly heads to the replicator dropping the shards in.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Aye sir.  COMM: Starfleet Vessels: This is the USS Claymore. 4 Peregrine vessels have left the system please use all possible mean to maintain a track on their warp signatures.  Claymore out.  ::Sends warp signatures with the comm message.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::still shaking:: *CNS*: Oh that’s right. Part of you is. Now. Then. Uh. Err, yes, I am
Host CiIV_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Shuts down the padd and heads off the lift, entering the Loch Lounge for a little light reading.::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
*CIV*: Aye sir.  What are the chances they will split up?
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo_ says:
*EO*: If you weren't going to already, I was going to ask you to look closely for anything within the trilithium that might help us ascertain who did this.
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
*OPS*:  If they are smart...100%....
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
*OPS*:  And, if they did pull off this job, they are very smart and skilled.  I would wager that their base isn’t even on that course heading.  But, it's a start.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CNS*: That’s precisely what I'm doing...hey...your not one of the telepaths are y-y-you? ::quivers::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Leaning against the front edge of her desk...leaving the little traces of padd left on the floor...takes a deep breath and pushes herself toward the door...::
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
*CIV*: Agreed.  Keep Captain Hall informed if anything new happens with the track.  I would suspect we loose them within the hour.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Runs more tests.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*EO*:  Captain Hall to Lt. Hayward.  Have you found anything as of yet?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Heads to the door of her quarters and then to the TL...trying to decide between holodeck or a drink.::
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Orders a lemon tea...surprised as the words come out...picks it up, smelling the slightly acrid lemon odor intermixed with the honey and sugar dance in his nose.  Takes cup and saucer and sits down with a keen view of the scarred planet below, reading the scans from the fighters and sipping on his tea.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Still working on it Sir, I should have the results momentarily.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*EO*:  Keep me informed.  Hall out.
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Highly modified peregrines.... heavily armed...outboard weapon pods...unusual shield configurations.... trilithium bombs...::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Decides a drink may make her feel...well not better, but less...and heads that direction.::
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::He frowned, those were dirty weapons.::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: Sir, it's conclusive. The trilithium is of Federation origin.
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo says:
::Has to get his information from straining to hear what the Captain's combadge has to say.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*EO*:  You’re sure about that Lt.?
OPS_Lt_Sorvik says:
CO: Sir we had encountered a group of pirates that had stolen Romulan technology.  Could this be from the same group?  It would be a logical conclusion.
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Dirty in the sense of fall-out...close to the Tri-cobalt devices in explosive power, they created 'fallout' - the 20th Century description for toxic bomb residue blown over a large area.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Arrives in the lounge and quietly orders a non-synthetic drink...something rather strong...::
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO: One hundred percent.... I should be able to narrow it down further than that.... all ships warp signatures are on record, leaving their "fingerprint" on the trilithium, for lack of a better term.
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Sighs heavily as he sips on his tea - setting the cup down gently as he finishes up with the basic outline report on the situation.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
*EO*:  Check the database Lt.  I want to know where that came from.  Contact me when you find out.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: I'm on it.
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Takes a long draught of the luke warm liquid...swallowing it hard to get it down.::
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Leans back into his chair, stretching as he puts a foot up on the empty couch set in front of the main view port.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Grimaces at the taste and takes another draught of the ale.::
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
<Bartender MacMillan>  XO:  Commander that Bolian Ale has a bit of a kick ma'am.
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
::Sets the search parameters for the computer to do a relational analysis of the trilithium matrix and the warp signature of all present and past federation ships.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
Barkeep: That's what I'm counting on....::Finishes off the last bit in the glass leaving only a few drops of the liquid at the bottom of the glass.::
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
<MacMillan>  ::Clicks his tongue as he retrieves the glass.::  XO:  Another round, ma'am?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Looking at the glass and nodding her head.:: Barkeep: Just one more......
CNS_Lt_Jelaberani-Endo says:
::Bored out of his wits, though he feels that he shouldn't be.::
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Finishes off the tea, stands and heads back to the replicator, returning the glass, as he turns to return to his table, he notices the XO at the bar, drowning her sorrows over an amber pint of Bolian Ale.::  XO:  Starting early today, Commander?
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Hopes the sarcasm made it through the words alright.::
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
::Waits for the EO to get back with him so he can contact Admiral Shadow.::
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::A rather quiet tone and a blank face.:: CIV: Not starting...just finishing...
Host Civ_CMDR_Wolfe says:
::Thinks about that for a second, walks over to the bar...motions at a stool next to the XO.::  XO:  This stool taken?
XO_Cdr_Skywise says:
::Glancing at the empty chair to make her point.:: CIV: It doesn't appear to be....
EO_Lt_Hayward says:
*CO*: The search for the federation ship is in progress, it could take a while. I'll keep you informed.
Host CO_Captain_Will_Hall says:
