ACTION: Claymore fires at the area where the D-7 cloaked and the other Syndicate ships fire on Claymore.  Claymore rocks to starboard and shields fluctuate.

SO_Love says:
@:: On the bridge of the Orion ship as it is fired up, being held up more by the goons between her then by her own effort.::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: dumps power into shields ::

ACTION: On the D-7, the SO notices that the ship she's on is rocked by Claymore's hit and power goes out for a few seconds.  The bridge goes dark.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Get us out of here.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::continues firing on the last position and area ahead of the D7 where it cloaked:: CO: Shields fluctuating Sir!  Continuing attack!.
Ens_Spanner says:
::hurriedly her hands fly across the boards::  ALL: What the devil is going on where the blazes are my fusion reactors?
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::sets course away and max warp:: CO: Aye sir, heading 1-4-7 mark 5 . . . speed?

ACTION: Claymore's weapons now only hit empty space.  The Syndicate's Jem Hadar fighter bears down on Claymore guns blazing.

SO_Love says:
@ ::Wondering if this is her cue, she stumbles away from the goons and heads for the doors.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Evasives!  See if you can't keep out of the ship's fire.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: cross wires in back up generators into the shield grid ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::yaws the Claymore up and around to engage the Jem Hadar fighter, fires a full barrage of torpedoes in the fighters flight path:: CO: Evasives heard Captain!  ::releases torpedoes and vectors the Claymore away::

ACTION: Claymore's shields are overloaded by the Jem Hadar ship and they go down.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: pulls up back up generators to shields
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO; We've lost shields, engaging warp engines, Sir!
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Do it...

ACTION: The So stumbles over something on the deck.

SO_Love says:
@ :: Stumbling into the door, she wonders where she could possibly go once she exited.  Her goons would not likely let her get far.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::engages the warp drive at 2 at the course laid in::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: checks the Jem Hadar ship for damage ::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Try to mask our trail!
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#*CO*: Sir what is going on.  The Claymore is under fire.  Coming around for a phaser broadside.

ACTION: The Jem Hadar ship veers off after Claymore's torpedoes score a direct hit.

OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: dumps ionized particles and counter measures in the Claymore’s wake ::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#::swings the shuttle around to come from the backside and comes up close to the Claymore's side and suddenly pops out from beneath her and fires phasers at the Jem Hadar ship.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Yes we are under fire.  FCO:  Get us back to the XO's ship.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO; Jem Hadar fighter veering off sir, engaging warp drive.  ::hits warp 2 away towards their last coordinates per the COs orders::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#::swings around again and this time comes up  this time over her bridge area and takes another shot and the Jem Hadar ship::
SO_Love says:
@:: Her knees hurting, she swishes her hands along the deck, hoping she tripped over what she thought she had.::

ACTION: The shuttle's weapons miss their target due to bad targeting sensors.  The Claymore jumps to warp with no pursuit, leaving the shuttle in its wake.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#Self: Think J'Loni think.......yes that is it.  ::hands fly over the console as she sees the Claymore go to warp::
SO_Love says:
@:: Her heart beating, as she knew her time was limited, she grasps hold of a handle and turns, pulling it up.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#Self: I got to get the blazes out of here and now.  ::plots the last know coordinates for the Claymore’s path and jumps to warp as well::
SO_Love says:
@ :: Unable to see anything below her, she hurries through the hatch, glad for the clothing that is protecting her against scratches.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::looks over his screens:: CO: Sir the Jem Hadar vessel is badly damaged, multiple hull breaches.  No sign of pursuit.

ACTION: Just as a Bird of Prey swoops down on the shuttle, it jumps to warp, trailing after the Claymore.

SO_Love says:
@ :: She pulls the hatch back into place.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Could we take it?

ACTION: The SO is able to pull open a deck hatch.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#Self: Whew just in the nick of time.  ::examines the readings from the sensor scans she took just before jumping to warp::
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
:: attempts to extend shields around the shuttle ::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::glances at readings:: CO: I think we could sir, easily, its the other vessels we have to worry about.  ::his mind wonders to Chey Love still aboard the D7::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO/OPS:  Is it worth the chance...there is a lot of information we could get from that ship.
OPS_Lt_Chaser says:
CO: Agr-reed, Captain.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#*OPS*: I have shields.  I am sending you some information you should be interested in.  I scanned the Bird of Prey and she does have some pretty interesting discrepancies in it.
SO_Love says:
@ ::Scrapping her hand along the underside, she fails to find a lock.  Not wanting to waste any more time then she must, she carefully makes her way downward.::
SO_Love says:
@ :: Her foot not finding the next rung, she finds herself on the bottom of something.  Her hands move about her.  It would appear she had found some kind of tunnel under the bridge.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  First, I want to get the shuttle aboard.  FCO:  Once that is done, I want to try and get that ship.

ACTION: As if on cue, emergency lighting appears in the tunnel the SO has discovered.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#COM: USS Yangtzee requesting permission to dock.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Grant permssion.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::turns in chair:: CO; Destroy her or capture her sir?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Capture her.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#::waiting for permission she waits::
SO_Love says:
@ :: The sudden lighting catches her off guard.  From complete darkness to light, the emergency lighting seems bright.  Her eyes taking a moment to adjust, she looks around.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: If Ops can be ready with a tractor I can lower its shields Captain.  :: turns back to chair and slows speeds to allow shuttle to board::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO/OPS: Make it so.
SO_Love says:
@ :: Wishing she had an engineers kit with her, a nice welder being handy for the armored walls, she moves, her ears tuned to the approach of her goons.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#*Shuttlebay*: This is Lt. Randolph please open shuttle bay doors.

ACTION: The shuttle is granted permission to dock.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
OPS:  Let me know when the shuttle is aboard.  
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::signals Flight Deck to open the bay doors::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
#*Shuttle bay*: Thank you.  ::guides the shuttle in like a pro and sets down in the shuttle bay gently::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Permission to report to bridge?

ACTION: The shuttlebay doors open and the CEO pilots the shuttle to a smooth landing.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*: Granted.
SO_Love says:
@ ::  As she nears a turn, she notes an access panel to the left.  There is no further she can go this way.  With a quick prayer under her breath, not that she believed in any deity, she reaches for the access panel to pull it off.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::grabs her PADD's and flies out the shuttle to the TL::  Computer: Bridge Express!
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: Turning around now Sir? ::eager::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Understood.

ACTION: The SO removes the access panel to reveal a mess of circuits and storage media.  It all looks very patched together.

FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::changes course back to the their previous battle stage at max warp, goes over power readings and damage reports:: OPS: If we are going to capture this thing Lieutenant its going to have to be quick.
SO_Love says:
@ :: Looking at what the removed panel reveals, she shakes her head wondering what was holding this ship together.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::the TL shoots for the Bridge and stops as she tumbles out::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Are we ready to do this?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Captain: Before you do anything I suggest you look at this.
SO_Love says:
@ :: With a sigh, wishing again for what she did not have, like the captains wife, she pulls off her shirt and wraps it around her hand and arm.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::pulls out the PADD::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: I think so sir.  CEO: We need to be ready to extend our warp field around a vessel we are going to take in tow and get out quickly, can we do it?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Set course.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  And engage.

ACTION: Claymore launches itself back towards the battle area.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir..I have now found out more information on the Bird of Prey.  She is juiced up.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::glances at tactical sensors and reports:: CO: The JH vessel seems to be alone now, attempting repairs Sir.  Course set and engaged.
SO_Love says:
@ :: Reaching in, she grabs whatever is at hand and begins to yank.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: If she uncloaks while we are unprepared she will blow this ship out of the water so to speak.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  I understand.  We need to make sure that does not happen.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: This BOP has been heavily modified for faster warp speeds and includes and old style Romulan plasma weapon.

ACTION: Sparks fly and blue energy arcs as the SO pulls out a handful of media chips.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Understood.
SO_Love says:
@ :: Trying not to look over her shoulder, she reaches with her other hand at a few chips and pulls them out.  A couple of them she crunches under her foot, mumbling under her breath.::  With my luck, I just destroyed the environmental controls.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::turns in chair:; CO: A Romulan plasma torp is powerful but slow Sir, I believe I can maneuver to avoid a hit.  CEO: Can you prepare to extend our warp field Lieutenant?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  We are gonna have to attempt it.  
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::taps combadge:: Ens. Spanner: Pull out all the safeties and get the fusion reactors to 110%.  I need all the power this old gal has and then some.  Be prepared to extend shields around a vessel we are coming up on.
SO_Love says:
@ :: Keeping her head back, trying to shield her eyes, she is glad of the extra covering of her shirt, which was getting singed, the smell of burned material irritating her nose.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::drops from warp:: CO: Dropping from warp, preparing to engage.  :: locks onto JH vessels engines and weapons grid::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::hands begin to reroute power from replicators and all un used systems and feeds them into the shields::

ACTION: The Jem Hadar ship seems to be a sitting duck.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Be careful sir.  I don't like what I am sensing.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO/FCO: Are we ready?
SO_Love says:
@ :: She would be lucky if she didn't walk away singed as she reached for a connection to something and pulled it, imagining if  Lt Randolph were in charge here, she would soon have her hide.  A smile touches her lips at the thought.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: Locking on phasers.  ::does so:: ALL: Firing on targets engines. ::fires::

ACTION: As the SO pulls more wires from the access tunnel, Claymore drops from warp and bears down on the Jem Hadar ship.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: As ready as she will ever be.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO/CEO: Do it.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Do it Extend shields now.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::hands stabilize the shields as they are extended around the vessel::
SO_Love says:
@ :: As smoke pours from unit, stinging her eyes, she steps back a moment, coughing, trying to get her breath.::

ACTION: Several things happen all at once: The SO pulls out more media storage chips and the old D-7 decloaks.  The Claymore fires at the Jem Hadar ship only to have the D-7 materialize between them.  Claymore's weapons impact the unshielded D-7.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: I can still sense the SO sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO: Whoa! D7 decloaking!  CEO: Scan her can you get a lock on Ensign Love and Noddy!
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Concentrate fire on that D-7!

ACTION: The D-7 is damaged more than it can take.  It will explode very soon.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Scanning sir.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Try to locate the SO!  We need to get her out of there.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::hands fly over console::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  On second thought, beam all life forms into the Brig!  I want them alive.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Self: Come on come on......find her.....hurry J'Loni hurry...
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::scans the D7:: CO: Sir she cant take much more, I cant guarantee the safety of those aboard if i continue to fire . . .
SO_Love says:
@ :: The ship shuddering around her, she finds herself flung undignifiedly down, her eyes water from the smoke, not sure where it was coming from.  Her handiwork or another place.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir, I have located the SO she is in the forward pod.  I can't find Sgt Noddy.

ACTION: The Jem Hadar ship fires one last shot at the Claymore.  It is powerful and knocks out the transporters.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO: Let’s get her aboard.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir........::gets slammed as the ship rocks::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Return fire on that Jem Hadar ship...
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::shakes a moment and locks onto the JH and fires all weapons in response::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::picks up self bloody again::

ACTION: The Jem Hadar ship is destroyed.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  We need to get her out of there...I need those transporters.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir the transporters are out.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CO/CEO: JH Vessel destroyed, can we use the shuttle transporters?!?!
SO_Love says:
@ :: Finding it harder and harder to breath, she unwraps her singed shirt from her arm, and puts it against her mouth, trying to breath.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::holds on firing on the D7 for fear of injuring Love::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::pulls the panel under her station and begins to rewire the transporter command buffers::  CO: Give me a few seconds I am going to try to do the transport through the shuttles transporters.
SO_Love says:
@ ::Feeling lightheaded, she shifts into an instinctive mode and begins to crawl away form the area.::

ACTION: The main hull of the D-7 begins to fracture due to hull breaches.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::senses the SO's life signs and hurries even faster::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
CEO: Hurry J'Loni its about to blow, massive hull fluctuations over there!
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Take a shuttle...try to get the SO out.
SO_Love says:
@ :: Arriving back near the access route, she lies down, her energy being sapped.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: I am finished ::jumps up and hits several commands::  Beginning to remote transport.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::jumps up and runs to the TL:: CO: Aye sir!  *FD*: Prepare a runabout now!  ::enters TL::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: I sense that Ens. Love is in trouble and needs to get out.
SO_Love says:
@ ::Her thoughts soon center on just trying to take a breath, but soon the smoke steals what air she can get.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::takes the TL to the FD, runs into the bay and nods to the officer on deck and boards the runabout::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Keep your fingers crossed this works.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*FCO*: let me know the moment you are out side the Claymore.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  We need to keep the shuttle protected.
SO_Love says:
@ :: Curling in a fetal position, she allows darkness to take her, her last thought, that stopping this ship was worth it.  And if it was in trouble, her ship was still alive.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::opens the bay doors and ignores the safety protocols, engages the runabout out of the bay as soon as it has clearance from the doors, attempts to lock onto the SO once out into space::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir, as soon as the shuttle is clear from the ship I will extend shield but they need to be dropped for the transport directly to sickbay.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
*CEO*: I am clear of the ship!
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
FCO:  Understood.

ACTION: The D-7's port engine explodes taking much of the main hull with it.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*FCO*:  Good prepare to transport now.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Ready to extend shields.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::engages transport as the engine explodes:: *CEO/CO*: Attempting transport!

ACTION: The D-7 begins a slow rotation, complicating the transport process.

CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*FCO* Understood.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::watches the boards and feeds more power to the transporter::  *FCO*: You may have to rotate with the D-7 to attain attitude with the ship.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Once you have her, I will extend the shields and transport her directly to SB.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::continuing to attempt transport and flies the runabout very close to the D7, feels in danger but all he cares about is Chey:: *CEO*: Try again! I am writhing 1000km of the D7!
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*FCO*: Attempting again.  ::hits the commands for the remote transport::

ACTION: As shields are dropped to allow transport, the BOP decloaks and fires it's plasma weapon and disruptors.  The plasma weapon is aimed at Claymore as the disruptors impact the shuttle.  The SO is caught in the transporter beam and materializes in sickbay.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Shuttle has been hit.  I have to get the FCO out now.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::flies to the floor of the shuttle, coughs from all the smoke:: *CO/CEO*: I'm hit Claymore . . . ::cough cough:: Get outta here!  ::attempts to reach the controls::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
CEO:  Can you get him out J'Loni?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: The shuttle is going to break up and I can't leave him.

ACTION: The D-7 and the shuttle both explode.  Claymore is hit hard and main power goes offline.  The BOP re-cloaks itself.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::hands fly once again over the controls::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
::reached them and attempts a collision course with the BOP, hits the engage button::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
CO: Sir I think I got him just in the nick of time.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Transporter Chief*: Do you have Cmdr Theron???
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Self: Please say yes oh please say yes.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::picks himself up off the deck shaking his head::  CEO: Did you get him?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::blood pouring out a bad gash on her left side::  CO: Trying to ascertain that now.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Transporter Room*: Report!!!
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says says:
*Transporter Room*: Do you have Cmdr Theron?
SO_Love says:
:: A light beckoning her, she does not feel the cold hands quickly placing an oxygen mask over her face while another applies a hypo filled with Dexalin.::

ACTION: The transporter room reports that the FCO was not brought        on board.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::slams fists on the console and hollers Klingon curses::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
ALL: Nooooo please noooooooo

ACTION: Claymore is severely damaged.  Short range sensors are offline as is main power.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::falls on floor in a heap tears coming fast and freely::  CO: Transporter room reports that Cmdr Theron was not brought onboard.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::sits down in his chair and looks at the helm::  CEO:  Get this ship operational.  I am going to go see Ensign Love.  ::gets up and heads to the TR::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@:: comes in and out of consciousness, seeing things . .  his mother . . . his father . . . . Commander Vaughn who rescued him from Bajor . . . finally passing out with a vision of Cheyenne Love:: Self: Chey . . . I love you . . . I'm sorry . . .
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
* Ens Spanner*: Damage report now.
Ens Spanner says:
*CEO*: Ma'am We are badly damaged.  Auxiliary power is at 67% shield, weapons, and engines are on reduced power, transporters still out once again, and hull fractures on decks 10 and 11.
SO_Love says:
:: As oxygen begins to replace the carbon monoxide her  lungs, a harsh coughing drags her back just as another thought drags at her.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::waits on the TR to stop and exits walking down to sickbay and enters looking around for the SO::

ACTION: The SO slowly begins to regain consciousness.

CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
Self:: Great Scott. How did I mess this up.  He was in the transporter lock.  Howls again::
SO_Love says:
:: In reaction, tries to pull the mask away, only to encounter another hand trying to keep it on.  Her eyes pop open.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::walks over to the SO::  SO:  Ensign...
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@:: Begins to dream . . . a figure of his friend Alex approaches Kayle:: <Prophet Alex Taylor> FCO: It is corporeal . . .
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Ens Spanner*: Son do what you must do to get this old gal running again.  I will work from here.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::holds her side to stem the flow of blood and gets up::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@::next Captain Randolph walks up to his face almost breathing into his face:: <Prophet CO Randolph> FCO: A physical entity . .
SO_Love says:
::Looks up in the eyes of Doctor T'ail, confused at her surroundings.  As her eyes shift towards her captain, she smiles, knowing where she was and it was not a dream.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*Ens. Spanner*: Son you have to give the old gal some type of movement.  Then you have to get the shields back online so please son you know the drill.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@::before he can respond a vision of a hole in space, a whirlpool of blue color and light, next the promenade on SB 421A, watching himself standing there, kissing Chey Love::
SO_Love says:
:: Reaching up again, she pushes the mask aside, her breath easier if feeling a bit raw.::  CO:  Captain... thank you.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Don't thank me...I didn't save you.
Ens Spanner says:
*CEO*: Ma'am I know your orders to the letter and believe me we will get her running in less that three hours.
SO_Love says:
::Coughs harshly for a moment, shaking her head as T'ail starts to put the mask back on.::  CO:  The captain is responsible for his crews action.  One and the same.  You didn't leave me.  ::Frowns her thoughts wavering a bit.::  Who else should I thank besides the rest of the crew?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::smiles as she knows he will do his job to the letter::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@:: after the kiss, space seems to fly by at warp speed finally slowing and everything melds to a field, a warm summer day in middle of know where:: Self: I know this place, home?
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::bows his head::  SO:  Kayle...
SO_Love says:
:: Frowns, sensing something is wrong.::  CO:  Where is Kayle?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::now feeling the loss of blood she sits on the floor as her combadge chirps:: <Ens. Spanner> *CEO*: Ma'am you have impulse power now.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  ::Raises a head::  Kayle is um...Kayle is with the prophets...::bows head again.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@:: the same 2 figures of Alex and Patrick Randolph walk up, along with two figures he barely remembers:: Outloud: Alex? Captain?  ::a long pause:: Mother . . . Father?!?
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::weakly she comms the captain::  *CO*: Engineering reports we have......impulse power.........

ACTION: The CEO falls to the deck from lack of blood.

Prophet Theron Adami says:
@ FCO: You  . . are . . . of  . . . Bajor . . .
SO_Love says:
:: Confused::  CO:  Why is Kayle with a prophet?  I don't remember a prophet aboard.  ::Frowns, having trouble focussing her thoughts.::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
*CEO*  Set a course away from the area...you sound hurt... T'ail:  Doctor, get a medical team to the bridge...
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::fighting the dizziness she concentrates on her husband as she drifts into unconsciousness:
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  Chey...Kayle died...His shuttle was caught in the blast while trying to save you.
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
SO:  He is who you should thank...thank in you thoughts and prayers.
Prophet Alex Taylor says:
@ FCO: You are at peace now . . . walk with us, and embrace the clarity of the Celestial Temple . . .

ACTION: The CO feels the CEO's pain as junior bridge officers call a medical team to the bridge.

FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@::standing in the warm sun, beginning to understand what has happened:: Outloud: I wanted to return home . . . but not like this . . .
SO_Love says:
:: As what he is saying sinks in, she feels her whole self sink back as well, a weak cry escaping her.::  CO:  Noooo... he would not do that.  He would not leave me...  ::In her weekend condition, she cannot stop the tears that start to flow.::
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
*CO*: Sir,.....setting auto ......now ......coord...inates 730 mark 12 .....full impulse.........
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::slips into a world of blackness::
CO_Capt_Randolph says:
::leans on the bio bed for a second...feeling the CEO's pain and raises back up::  SO:  I ordered him out there.  We dropped our shields so we could beam you aboard...before we could get the shields up, the D-7 exploded and so did the shuttle.
FCO_LtCmdr_Theron says:
@::faces the sunset and a tear streaks down his cheek::  Prophets: If this be the sacrifice I was to make, my life, my destiny . . . I'm glad it was to save the innocent lives of my ship and her crew . .. and Chey . . .
SO_Love says:
:: She turns away.::  CO:  The price was too high.  ::Consciousness begins to fade as the cold feel of a hypo filled with Kayolane is injected.::
Ens Spanner says:
 *CEO*: Ma'am shields are up to 75% for now.
CEO_Ltjg_Randolph says:
::not getting an answer from the CEO he comms again::
