SD 10302.04 Season Three Episode Thirty-two (Mission #122) Gone Fishing Part 5

The USS Claymore is still in Galaxy NGC 2398 approximately 136 million light years from the Alpha Quadrant. After being attacked by an unknown ship that faked an auto-destruct the USS Claymore headed back to where they entered this Galaxy.

Unable to find the original opening they came through several members of the crew of the USS Claymore began taking readings and scans to see if they could force the issue and open the tunnel to return to the Alpha Quadrant. Unable to do that at this point the USS Claymore has headed back to where they were first attacked by the unknown ship along with sending out a general greeting on all channels to see if they could get a reply.

Along the way they found the attackers ship along with several others. A battle ensued in which the USS Claymore took damage and is now orbiting a G type star’s corona using the atmosphere to try and mask them as they attempt to make repairs.

::Monitors the EM pulse to make sure it stays prepared::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::With a PADD in hand, Ensign Alezka makes his way to the bridge, departing from Stellar Cartography, and preparing to face Commander T'Kerl and the rest of the senior staff. Simply put - he is scared beyond belief::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks around the bridge:: ALL: Stations report.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::walks onto the bridge::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Nothing to report here.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Report...

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::walks onto the bridge, straightens uniform jacket, relieves helmsman::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks up and nods at the CO:: CO: Nothing so far sir. Repairs are still going on.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::After a brief turbolift ride, D'Aurayen Alezka finds himself on the bridge of the U.S.S. Claymore. Taking a long pause and breathing deeply, he steps out onto the bridge and heads towards the command circle to face his fate:: XO: Commander T'Kerl...

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
XO: Holding position at 'New Sol' Sir, high orbit of the corona.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: The shields will be back to 100% within the hour. I'm trying to modify the torpedoes to act as heat seeking missiles towards the enemy ships.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
*CO*: Sir, could you please come to SB, I would like to talk to you about the star. Also the injured.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks up at the CIV:: CIV: I see you aren't avoiding me now. ::face stony::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::In Main Engineering, working to complete the repairs to the Claymore. According to the outlook, the fighter bay still needs about two hours to be functional::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS/CTO/FCO: Acknowledged.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He holds out his PADD, offering the information over freely and avoid eye contact with his superior:: XO: No sir, I have come to report my findings, as per standard regulation and the chain of command, sir.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CMO*  On my way.   XO:  You have the bridge.  ::walks to the TL::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::takes the padd and speaks quietly:: CIV: We still need to have a talk about your lack of discipline on the bridge the other day Ens.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Aye sir.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Walks over to the two injured people on the biobeds ::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
FCO: If the enemy ships return, do you want to be in the TIC, or me? We gotta be ready, the second they come, we'll have the fighters ready.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::continues scan, still finds nothing::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Hears the comm badge chirp, and jumps from his concentration:: *XO* Sir, Impulse Drive at 90%, fighters are almost completely repaired, though the bay will take at least another two hours.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He nods once and avoids eye contact again:: XO: Understood, Commander. ::His voice is soft and frail, like that of a child. It has lost the anger that filled it only days before::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged just keep me apprised.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::turns to tactical:: CTO: Um, not sure.  Lets see what plan takes effect first.  Did you get my suggestion report?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: See if you can help the CSO for now.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Understood, sir. ::He nods quickly and heads towards the science display immediately, stepping up to Taylor, and doing his best to smile:: CSO: Ensign...::He nods once in hopes of getting the officer's attention::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Wondering how long it will be until he picks up a message that he can read/understand from outside the ship::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::sits back reading over the report listening to the conversation on the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::exits the TL and walks down the corridor to sickbay and enters::  CMO:  What is it Doctor?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
FCO: Yes I did. Do want to map out a battle plan.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CIV: Yes Ensign?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Has there been any luck on decoding those messages yet?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Grabs a tricorder and scan's the injured Ens. on biobed one ::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CTO: Sure, as soon as we get approval for one of the plans, or another one is brought to light.  ::nods at the man and turns back to his console::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: None at all. When you're trying to translate a new language, it helps if it's not encrypted. Especially in an encryption pattern that's never been seen.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
CSO: I have been ordered to assist you in any way I can. You can find my research in the main computer, however I afraid it is of little use currently...::He logs himself into the Auxiliary Science console and lets out a sigh::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::smiles and turns to Ensign Alezka::

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CO: Sir, as far as the star. We are fine. I will make a hypospray for radiation, but other than that everything is fine. You did say that you wanted a report about the 3 Ens. that died and the 12 others injured correct?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: I understand more than you think. All we can do now is hope we stumble onto something.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
*FCO*: Just thought you should know, your fighters are almost completely fixed and functional. The Flight Deck will take a few more hours, but it's coming along.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::checks status of helm, unchanged, turns towards T'Kerl::  XO: Commander could I have a moment?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CIV: My scans haven't come up with anything at the moment.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
FCO: First we have to make out a plan and submit it to the CO. If you want, you, me and the CSO can work on the plans in my office on deck 15. The database and tactical display desk will aid us a lot.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::smiles:: *CEO* : Thanks Lai.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CMO:  Yes.  I will need it for my report to Starfleet once we return...if we return.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods at the FCO:: FCO: Yes Mr. Theron what can I do for you?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CIV: So I can use all the help I can.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Well, unless they stop encrypting, we have no chance of getting anything out of it.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Nods, as he gets onto his back, and tries to fit in the cramped space underneath the console he is repairing::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Just keep trying is about all we can do. Perhaps the CTO can spare some of his decoders to help your teams.

ACTION: A new ship appears on LRS. It appears to be of roughly equivalent technology. It is traveling at warp 2 and has 6 life forms aboard and not 3 like the other ships. It is traveling on a course that should take it near the G type star in 5 minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CMO:  Is there anything else?

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CO: Well, I have completed my report on the 3 Ensigns. Nothing out of the ordinary. They just died from burns. However the injured suffered from everything from 1st to 3rd degree burns. However I think they will be fine. I have uploaded my report to your computer.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: We have a ship coming into range!

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Sir a new ship has appeared on the LRS.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::takes a deep breath:: XO: I would like to suggest a plan, with the fighters readily available again, I would like to lead a small strike group into battle with those ships, to even up the score, and hopefully disable one so the Claymore can come into interrogate . . . I would be willing to take that personal risk.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Status on the ship?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: See if you can pick up any communications from it.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
CO: However since you are here would you like to get your psychical over with?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO: See if you can scan the ship.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Aye... Self: Not like it'll do any good... ::Starts listening for something from the ship and doesn't dare send anything out::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He gives a single nod and begins accessing the lateral sensor pallets:: CSO: I believe our "vortex" may be effected by subspace fields, and I'm hoping that if I can map the field density in this region, I may be able to estimate the next appearance of a vortex...

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: it'll reach the star in 5 minutes. it is traveling at warp 2.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
FCO: First we have to make out a plan and submit it to the CO. If you want, you, me and the CSO can work on the plans in my office on deck 15. The database and tactical display desk will aid us a lot.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CO*: We may have more company sir. Another ship has been detected heading this way at warp 2.

CMO_Ens_Luc says:
:: Puts down the tricorder and looks at the Capt. ::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: The ship has 6 life forms aboard, and traveling warp two.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: That is something we will have to discuss later.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CMO:  Thank you Doctor.  Why did I know you were going to ask me about my physical?  Not right now doctor. I don't feel up to it.  I also have other duties to attend to on the bridge.  ::hears the XO::  *XO*  On my way.  CMO:  See you later doc.  ::exits the TL::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::nods at the XO, turns back to helm to possibly take the ship out of orbit::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: The life forms are different than the first ships.  They are humanoid, but have different body temperatures, maybe another race.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CEO*: Status of all engines we may need them soon.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: The ship is a yellow alert.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Enters the TL and orders the bridge as the location.  the TL stops and he steps out.::  XO:  Anything new on this new ship?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Dan...ummm, are you monitoring events up here on the bridge?~~~ ::He feels slightly awkward contacting the Engineer in this way, and hopes that Lai has not continued to close off his mind::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::stands up refraining from pacing:: CO: Just that the species on that ship are different from the others.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
*XO*: Warp is online, impulse at 93%, Sir.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CIV: Sounds like a good plan to me, keep trying to plot, I'll aid you as much as I can.

ACTION: The group of 7 ships are now appearing on LRS

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
ALL:  Is there a possibility this star can hide the Claymore from their sensors?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Bad news. 7 more on the way.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Not really, D'Aur. Why, what's going on?~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Prepares to buckle up for a bumpy ride::

ACTION: There are the original ships that attacked the Claymore 2 days ago

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He brings up a display and activates a multi-phasic scan of the approaching alien vessels:: ~~~CEO: We may be making new friends...seven new vessels on long range scanners, possibly another life-form...~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Get a reading on them. I want to know who and what they are.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: I think you should get the fighters ready.

ACTION: The lone ship sends out a compressed signal directed at the 7 ships.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: I think we should get the fighters ready.

ACTION: The 7 ships. sends out a compressed signal directed at the lone ship.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: The same ships that attacked us 2 days ago.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: We've got something. These 8 ships are talking. One to seven and the seven to one. Let's see if I can eavesdrop... ::Tries to listen in on the signal::

ACTION: The 7 ships alter course on an intercept course for the lone ship.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::gets angry that the lil buggers are coming back for more, this time, we need to give them a bloody nose::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: I see. Must be why Commander T'Kerl wants engines...to run, if need be.~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: How well are we protected within this atmosphere?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: they are on an intercept course for the lone ship. Perhaps they are going to destroy it. if so, we should try to defend the ship and maybe gain an ally.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Widens his eyes:: XO: Looks as if they're sending tons of information, just really fast. Problem is that, surprise surprise, it's encrypted.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::holds orbit ready to break on orders::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  I agree.  Are the ships that attacked us taking the same formation as they did towards us?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::turns to look at the CO her face unreadable:: CO: We can continue to hide and see what happens or we can face them.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: I'm...I'm afraid so, Dan...~~~::He looks down at his sensors, hoping to discern something helpful from them:: XO: This new race, their body temperature is higher then the norm...chances are they would be uncomfortable in a standard Class-M environment...

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::looks to the XO:: XO: I think, that they can't detect us.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::face impassive:: OPS: For some reason that doesn't surprise me.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Worms his way from underneath the console, and stands upright, dusting his uniform off. He selects an officer to keep an eye on things, as he heads to the Bridge::

ACTION: All ships open fire on each other.... the lone ship is slightly more maneuverable... and succeeds in avoiding most of the laser fire

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO/XO: Let's see what happens before we throw our hats into the ring.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  If the ships begin attacking the lone ship, we need to get out there.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods at the CIV:: CSO/CTO: What is going on out there?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: I agree sir.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: They are attacking the lone ship. Should we intervene.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Set course for the battle.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Red Alert.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Exits the turbolift, and heads towards the engineering station on the bridge:: ~~~CIV: What just happened?~~~

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::sets course for the skirmish:: CO: Aye sir course laid in.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::engages red alert::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks at the CO...nods and sits back down in her chair:: FCO: Call whoever you have left and tell them to ready what fighters we have.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Sighs as he prepares to hit the EM pulse button::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: The ship is avoiding most of the fire, but it may need our help.

ACTION: The lone ship succeeds in damaging one ship but receives full lasers from 3 ships and begins to slow down

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: As soon as we are in range, I’ll extend our shields over the lone ship.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
OPS: Commander, I may have an idea for you...::He looks up from his Science Display briefly and again begins to access the sensor pallets:: ~~~CEO: Our new arrival is under attack by our old friends...similar attack patterns...~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Should I try giving the big ship a call?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  It is important that we protect and save that lone ship.  Maybe together we can figure things out.  OPS:  Proceed Mr. Farris.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: It may be our only hope sir.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
*FD* : Attention on deck all able pilots to functioning fighters.  :stands and turns to CO and XO:: CO/XO: Sirs, permission to lead the squad.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: I need you where you are Ensign.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Hears the CTO:: CO/XO: I wouldn't recommend automatically giving the loner shields. They could turn around and fire on us.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
OPS: Sometimes you gotta take a chance.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  How close do you need to be in order to use your EM pulse?

ACTION: The lone ship's engines are destroyed.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Takes in the new information, while still keeping an eye on repairs::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Hails the big ship:: COMM: Unknown ship: This is the Federation ship USS Claymore. Can we provide assistance?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Prepare a full torpedo spread.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::steps forward:: XO: But Commander . . .::frowns and turns away:: XO: Aye Sir.  ::goes back to the helm::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Sir, we need to extend our shields.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Negative at this point...we will try and get in front of the ship and protect it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: I can shoot it about 20 seconds before we get there at this rate.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
:: fires quantum torpedoes at the enemy ships. the torpedoes are equipped with a sensor device to lock on to the enemy ships.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
ALL: 20 seconds till intercept, preparing for evasives.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  When we are in range.  You may emit the pulse.

ACTION: The lone ship weapons are set to overload and they succeed in destroying a ship. However their weapons are now useless

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
:: fires quantum torpedoes at the enemy ships. the torpedoes are equipped with a sensor device to lock on to the enemy ships::

ACTION: The Claymore enters in EMP range

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Fire the pulse?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
FCO: See if you can get us between the stranded ship and the enemies.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Feeling quite ignored by the Operations Officer, he continues to work on the sensor systems, hoping that his idea could be effected - if anyone chose to listen to his proposal::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Fire Mr. Farris.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Fires the EM pulse::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::prepares a wide beam phaser spread::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::pulls the Claymore starboard and sets course for between the combatants:: XO: Aye sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Watches the screen to see if there's any effect::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::fires the phaser beam::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CEO*: I need all power you can spare to the shields.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Looks up:: CIV: Did you say something?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
:: fires quantum torpedoes at the enemy ships. The torpedoes are equipped with a sensor device to lock on to the enemy ships::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Tell the CEO  we may have to extend the shields.

ACTION: The EMP succeeds. All weapons and engines, and computers on the enemy ships are now fried

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: The ships are disabled.

ACTION: 3 ships are destroyed from the torpedoes.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::slows the ship to hold position between the vessels:: XO: We are now between the combatants sir.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks up at the screen as the pulse spreads outward, leaving a graveyard of vessels in it's wake:: OPS: I...had...

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
XO: Aye. ::Decreases power expenditure from non vital systems, and allows the power to be used for shields::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CIV: You had a what? Cat got your tongue?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CO: Captain I think it worked. ::feels a small smile for the moment::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO/CTO: Scan all ships and report!

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Yes Commander.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Now maybe we can get some answers.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::turns hearing the CEO:: CEO: Sorry Mr. Lai I didn't realize you were on the bridge.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Begins preparing another EM pulse, just in case::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: The systems are fried, three were destroyed by torpedoes.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
OPS: It appears, Commander, that your plan was successful, and mine is now obsolete...I will just have to save it for future encounters...::He glances down at the display and clears it - moments after saving the program::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: See if you can hail the ship we are protecting and get a reply we can understand.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Smiles slightly, though he doesn't turn his attention from the console for more than a moment:: XO: It's alright, Commander.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::begins scanning the ships::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CIV: Alright.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Good job Mr. Farris.  ::Smiles::

ACTION: The 4 remaining ships from the group begin their self destruct sequence

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO/XO: Holding position 6,000 kilometers from the lone vessel.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Yes good job Mr. Farris.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Aye... ::Hails the big ship again:: COMM: Big ship: This is the USS Claymore. Please respond.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO/XO: Thank you.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks over to Lai and smiles softly:: ~~~CEO: Glad to be working with you again, sir...~~~::He smiles once more and turns back to his display, running full scans of the disabled vessels::

ACTION: The lone ship's warp core shows sign of overload

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: The four remaining ships have begun their self destruct sequence.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Sir, I suggest we lock a tractor beam on the lone ship, and get out of here before the ships self-destruct.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO: Any chance we can receive damage at this range?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Lock onto the life signs on the enemy ships and beam them to the Brig.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CO: Shall I lower shields to beam the survivors from the lone ship aboard.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  Yes Ensign

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
XO: Sir, I might be able to help stabilize the ship's engines if I were allowed to beam over...

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Gladly. ::Attempts a lock on and beam out of the enemy crews to the brig::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Make sure you put them in a force field until we know they can't contaminate the rest of the ship.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::turns around at Lai's suggestion::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  As soon as we have everyone is aboard, set a course and get us out of here.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: I'm not sure Commander.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks over toward the Chief Engineer and then toward T'Kerl:: XO: I'll volunteer to accompany the Chief, ma'am...

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
:: sets bio-filters to max, engages a level 10 force filed in the brig. Lower shields. initiates transport of the survivors to the brig::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::sets course away::

ACTION: Transport of 6 beings from the enemy ships is successful. They arrive in the brig

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CEO/CIV: If it becomes necessary.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Nods:: XO: Yes, Sir.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Forcefields in the brig are at maximum.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO/XO: We have visitors in the brig.

ACTION: All 6 beings from the lone ship are beamed to the second brig area

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Thank you Commander...now to see if we can communicate with any of them.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Shall I go to the brig, actually I prefer if you would join me.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Engage.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Sort of half smiles as he turns back to his console::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CMO*: We have visitors in the brig. Please take a team down and see if you can get some scans on them.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::engages full impulse away:: CO: Engaged sir.

ACTION: All ships explode just as the Claymore exits the area.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  Go see the aliens from the lone ship.  Greet them and make sure they understand why they are there and if we can get any info.  If you feel it is okay, you may let them go.  I will want to speak with the leader.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO/XO: Should we consider these people as ambassadors in a way?

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO/OPS:  Good work Gentlemen.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
*FD* : Attention on deck, stand down.  Place all fighters on active stand by.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CO: Thank you.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::Shutting down his console, Alezka steps forward and close to the Commander and the Captain, speaking clearly:: CO/XO: Sirs, with your permission I'd like to assist in any first contact procedures. My telepathic abilities may be beneficial in this matter...sirs...

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods and stands up:: CO: Aye sir. CTO/OPS: You are with me. ::turns and heads for the TL::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CTO:  You may stand down from red alert.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  After you have spoken with the "good guys," let me know about the "bad guys.:

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Aye. ::Gets a redshirt to take over as he stands up and follows the XO to the TL::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::smiles:: CO: Aye sir, just as soon as I figure out which is which.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::smiles at the CO's remark::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He glances toward Lai, the nervous expression on his face quite evident. As he notices the nod from the Commander he smiles and heads towards the lift:: ~~~CEO: At least I can try to do something without botching it up...~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
XO:  I hope you make out which is which.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::enters the lift:: CO: That makes two of us.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::enters the TL after the XO::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::Smiles at the XO::  ALL on the Bridge:  Continue repairs.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: You'll do fine. Don't worry.~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Ready to go greet our guests? ::Smiles slightly::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::stands near the back of the TL:: OPS: As ready as we can be I would guess. Let's just hope their speech patterns aren't like their communications.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He looks between T'Kerl, Farris and Pale nervously. He contains a heavy sigh, and does his best to control his nervous emotions:: ~~~CEO: I hope so Dan...I'm...I'm just glad I have you there with me again...~~~

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::turns to the CO and sighs:: CO: Sir, we are at full impulse heading away from the debris field, our course is for our entry point into this area, not like we'll get there anytime soon at impulse, but I thought it was fitting.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: It would be our luck that they have computers attached to their mouths to encrypt their speech. Just to make my life harder.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: I fear they may be, Commander...::He suddenly feels small compared to the other officers - a large Tactical officer, and two high ranking Officers - definitely out of place::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Thank you Mr. Theron.  Good work.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::chuckles slightly:: OPS: Let's hope not.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::nods:: CO: Thank you sir.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  Was you able to get any information on the ships before the exploded?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: We just have to do what we can Mr. Alezka.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::watches as the doors open near the brig area::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::steps out of the TL::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::heads to the brig::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Nothing new sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::steps out of the TL and enters the brig area looking around her face impassive::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: I wonder what they look like?

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Follows the XO::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He follows close to the Commander, opening up his thoughts to those around him. He does his best to read the species before him, hoping that he can aid in their most recent first contact:: ~~~CEO: Here goes...~~~

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CSO:  How are repairs going?

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
~~~CIV: Good luck.~~~

Host Alien1 says:
ACTION: The crew arrive in the brig area to find 6 aliens shivering on the floor... they seem to be cold. They are all huddled together holding each other.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::gets up and walks over to the engineering console:: CEO: Ensign . . ::voice trails off into a whisper:: CEO: Looks like we don’t have to worry about endorsing the plans.  ::smiles::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::walks over to one cell area hoping it's the "good guys" as the CO called them:: CTO: Check the temperature in here they look cold.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Perhaps we should raise the temperature in the cell by 40 degrees.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Sees the aliens:: Computer: Raise temperature in cells one and two by ten percent.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: The repairs are coming along sir, hopefully they will be fully completed soon.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
Alien: Please tell me who you are?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He glances from the aliens back to T'Kerl:: XO: Our guests on the lone vessel presumably...::He goes silent, hoping to get a sense of the alien's emotions and thoughts::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods at the CIV::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
Computer: Raise the temperature in cells 1 and 2 to 34 degrees Celsius.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
~~~CIV: Let me know if you get anything at all.~~~

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~XO: They're terrified, Commander. Chances are they believe us attackers, and even alien abductors...~~~ ::He looks to the Commander and nods slowly::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Looks up at the Bajoran FCO:: FCO: Well, they were well thought out, but I suppose this was the best, non violent way to attain information. Though I am disappointed I wasn't able to have a closer look at their ships.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Looks at the CTO::

ACTION: They look up slowly and are still huddled together partly in fear... partly in cold.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::nods:: CEO: Agreed.  ::walks back to the helm::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
Alien: I am not here to hurt you. We are the ones that saved you from your ship and tried to help protect you from the others. ::speaking calmly::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
Computer: Raise temperature to 45 degrees Celsius.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: I don't think they understand me.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CTO: How about 100 degrees? Would kill us, but they might like it.

Host Alien1 says:
::looks up and looks from one officer to the other remaining silent::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Perhaps I should go in and try to talk to them up close.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
OPS: The temperature is being raised in the cells.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Commander, may I? ::He looks over towards the aliens and then back at T'Kerl, in hopes that he can lend aid::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CTO: But it looks like they're still cold to me.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
Computer: Status on the temperature in the cells?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::tries to fight the feeling of helplessness:: Alien: I can't help you if you can't communicate with me.

Host Alien1 says:
<Computer> CTO: Temperature raised as desired.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Prepare to do what you can to try and establish communications with them.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
Xo: Shall I raise the temperature to 60 in the cells?

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
~~~CIV: Let's see if Commander Farris can do anything first. Just keep monitoring.~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Well, first off, maybe we should feed them.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: I would love to but I don't even want to guess what they eat.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~XO: Sir...they won't be able to understand us, until the universal translator gets a sample of their speech syntax and grammar. Until then, the computer can only send them jumbled phrases and a lot of gibberish...~~~ ::He pauses briefly:: ~~~XO: Understood...~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks around:: ALL: And where is the CMO? I know I asked him to come down here.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Well, we could try veggies. But, beyond that, it would help to get up close. I wouldn't trust someone that just pulled me from my ship.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
~~~XO: Shall I raise the temperature to 60 C in the cells?~~~

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Let's wait on that. ::looks at him as if to warn him off from doing that again::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: Let's try it.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Continues to monitor the repairs, noting that Impulse engines are almost at 100%:: CO: Sir, Impulse engines are at 99%, and the Kaneda fighters are

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CO*: Sir I could use the CSO down here for some scans on these beings.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sits down in the "big chair:: and waits for the XO to get back with him.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: OK. ::Steps towards the forcefield:: XO: I'm ready...

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: You are his backup.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
OPS: Its warm in there. smiles:

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  He is on his way.  CSO:  Go down to the brig and assist the XO.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He stands there, his eyes glancing over the aliens slowly. After a brief moment he closes his eyes, feeling everything around him with his telepathic senses. He opens his minds to the alien beings, feelings of warmth, caring and friendship being released from his thoughts::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::nods at the brig officer to prepare to lower the field::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::sighs::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
CO: Yes sir, on my way.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Thank you Ensign Lai.  Keep me posted.

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
CTO: Trust me, I grew up in really hot areas.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::walks away from his console and enters the turbolift::

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: he asks for the Brig, and begins his journey to the brig::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::opens his mind to the alien, using his high telepathic abilities to ascertain what the aliens are thinking and feeling::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::watches the aliens still trying to figure out how to communicate with them:: Self: I wonder...

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::checks the helm, nothing new::

ACTION: The forcefield is lowered

ACTION: All 6 aliens look to each other then close their eyes. They then begin to grit their teeth together with extreme force.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
~~~Alien 1: Do you understand what I am saying.~~~

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~XO: Not...good...~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Steps in as he watches the aliens::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
OPS: I don't know if this is going to work. Be prepared for anything.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
~~~Alien 1: Do you understand what I am saying. Don't be afraid.~~~

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
XO: Aye. CTO: Raise the field.

Host Alien1 says:
<Computer> Warning energy discharge in progress detected.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
FCO: Your fighters are all repaired, Ensign Theron.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
ALL: Get out of the way and get the force field back up now!

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::raises the field::

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
CEO: Excellent Lai, thanks, when this is all over I'll give you a flight lessen or something.  ::smiles and turns to his new friend::

ACTION: The 6 aliens burst into energy engulphing the OPS officer.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~XO: Commander...I think this is a bad idea...we shouldn't risk direct contact, not so soon...~~~ ::He hears the warning and steps back quickly::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
:: transmits peaceful and happy thoughts through his mind::

ACTION: The OPS Officer suffers burns on 90% of his body

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CTO: Get him out of there now!

OPS_LtCmdr_Farris says:
::Starts to scream as he sees the energy, but is burned too badly to scream::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::His eyes go wide as he backs up into the far wall. He watches as his fears are realized and he watches the aliens swarm around Farris::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
Computer: transport OPS officer to sickbay.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::exits the turbolift at the brig::

ACTION: There is a pile of ashes where the 6 aliens were. LtCmdr Farris is on the floor is severe trauma

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Sorry I took so long Commander.

ACTION: The OPS officer is transported to sickbay

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks at the cell in disbelief::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Randolph to  T'Kerl.  Is there anything to report?

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::As the shock fades away, Alezka pulls out his tricorder and immediately begins scanning the cell from the outside, hoping to identify all energy emissions released by the alien beings::

Host MO_Payne says:
::sees the OPS officer arrive:: Self: Uh no....  ::scans him::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
::steps away from forcefield and takes out his phaser:: XO: Sir, get behind the console, your safety and the safety of the CIV first.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::feels her hand shaking as she reaches for her combadge:: CO: Nothing good sir. ::her voice shaking:: Six aliens down and the OPS officer. He has been transported to sick bay.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Sir, get behind the console, your safety and the safety of the CIV first.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::ignores the CTO and walks over towards the cell where it all happened::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::looks up and around::  *XO*  Is everything under control?

Host MO_Payne says:
::shivers:: Self: What in the name of... ::begins dermal regeneration as he injects the OPS officer to stabilize him::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Sir!

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
::looks over to the Commander in utter disbelief::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: Sir!

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
~~~CEO: Farris...the aliens...all six of them are dead...~~~ ::His thoughts are jumbled:: XO: Sir, I can be sure of one thing...they were determined, and they did what they wanted...

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO: I want a scan of this area...I want to know what happened and now.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Yes commander, I'm on it.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*CO*: If you want to call it that sir...

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: We still have six left in the cell 2.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: begins scan of the area::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
*MO*: I want a full report on the OPS officer stat.

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He steps up next to the Commander and continues the scans with his tricorder, storing all the data within the ship's computer for future analysis::

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Sits, with his mouth agape at the news::

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*XO*  Understood.  I am on my way to sickbay to check on Mr. Farris.  Keep me posted.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
::looks over at the other cell:: CTO: And until we know what happened I don't want anyone near them.

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::turns at the news of Farris::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Commander...I have something...::He runs the tricorder over the ashes and begins to analyze the compounds present::

Host MO_Payne says:
*XO*: I'm busy.... I'll tell you when I can...::pause:: Ma'am  ::concentrates on saving the OPS officer's life::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: That includes you commander, I can't let anything happen to you.

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CIV: What do you have ensign?

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Commander sensors detect a device close to their hearts that was activated when saliva came into contact with an electronic device in their teeth.

Host CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Take command.  I will be in sickbay.  ::enters the TL and heads down to SB::

Host XO_Cmdr_T`Kerl says:
CSO/CIV: I want a full report on this. ::walks over and sags against the wall::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
::He holds his tricorder out to the Chief Science Officer for his confirmation:: XO: Commander, those creature's committed suicide. Like an agent poisoning himself, they triggered a device which causing this energy reaction...

FCO_Ens_Theron says:
::stands up and walks to the command chair and sits, turns and looks at CEO concerned::

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
CIV: Try scanning to see, what kind of nutrients would benefit them.

CSO_Ens_Taylor says:
XO: Yes Commander.

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: We have to convince them that we want no more violence.

CEO_Ens_Lai says:
::Looks around the deserted bridge:: FCO: So...this is how they show appreciation...?

CTO_Ens_Liko says:
XO: you okay? ::walks over::

CIV_Ens_Alezka says:
XO: Understood...::He looks down at the small pile of ashes in sheer disbelief:: ~~~CEO: I...it's...I don't know what to say, what to think...~~~ ::He slides down to the floor, next to T'Kerl and stares in disbelief::

Host MO_Payne says:
