XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::walks up to his chair and sits:: *CEO*: Bridge to Engineering.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up as Sirk enters:: CIV: Just about.  Seeing as how we cannot yet detect their ships because of their cloaking technology, I'm thinking we'll need to make use of your recon unit.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::taps his comm badge:: *XO*: Hayward here
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
*CEO* Commander, our new friends are reporting they're ready to leave the station and proceed. Are we ready to go?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nears the exit and raises her head:: All: I'll be right back. ::said to no one in particular as she exits through the double doors::

CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::nods:: CTO: I've got three Kanedas geared up with mainly SCI equipment with some of my most experienced pilots.  I've got them prepped to go.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*XO*: As ready as we're going to be. Overall, we're at 75%, I've got teams prioritizing weapons and shields, and propulsion - you might want to let science know I've taken several nonessential systems off line for the time being
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::walks decisively down the corridor and enters a laboratory that is not one of her own, to see a redhead apparently concentrated on something::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods:: CIV: I'll need to advise Commander Daylan before deploying the raptors.  I'm thinking we'll deploy them just before we reach out destination coordinates.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
*CEO* Acknowledged, Commander. Rig for warp and tie down whatever you need to. Bridge out.

XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::closes the channel:: FCO: Break orbit of the station and bring us on course for bearing 210, mark 15 and ready Warp Six.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: Only problem I see is the same one I always see with the recon fighters.  They'll be pretty vulnerable out there.  I'll have my squadrons on standby, but that might not help if they're detected early enough.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Turning of the scope, takes the sample she is working on and moves over to the testing shield.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::completes her walk and sits down by her side:: CSO: Not much... I just believed you should be pestered properly before whatever is to come.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Sighs:: CIV: I hate to say this but basically the recon units will be the bait.  If the Skree attack, we'll only have seconds to lock on to their weapons signatures and return fire.

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Ready to engage sir.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: And that's how it's got to be.  The pilots know it too, just doesn't make it any easier to swallow.  Now about the battle plan?
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::eases back in the XO's chair a little:: FCO: Take us out. ::pauses:: And try to relax, Lieutenant. We aren't going to be caught by surprise this time.

CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods and changes the display:: CIV: Okay, I've pinpointed what planets and moons might possibly house military bases based on their location.  The red flags denote known inhabited cities, underwater wouldn't you know?

CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::looks over the locations:: CTO: I'm told the Skree don't like rough odds.  What do you suppose the chances of us overwhelming them are around these bases?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: I think your recon units should start here...::Points at the display:: and continue on course in this direction.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Commander, I'm concerned about the Skree's cloaking technology. It's seemingly impervious to anything the federation has come up with. ::frowns::

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Glances at her sister her eyes twinkling.::  CMO: You think?  :: Looks back at her work.::  And they were.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:

XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
CEO: We're having no luck at all?
Tigs says:
@:: give the officer of Starfleet a hard and fiery glare :: CMDR: What are you doing here?
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Stepping back a step, activates the primary shielding.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks back at Eris:: CSO: You shouldn't spend so much on bugs. Especially considering they might not survive their mission... although considering we might not survive their mission, what's the point.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Now, as I see it, the Hera will be our tactical back up.  They've just been upgraded with a tactical pod.  Where do you think she should be positioned?
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: We're bound to stir the hornet's nest if we go sniffing around those bases.  Still, it's as likely a place for us to find something as any.
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@::shouts:: Tigs:  Tigs Tulpuq Ravenprowler Doole!  Is puttering about in the garden what you've been reduced to?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:

Tigs says:
@:: growls under her breath, taking a step forward nose to nose with the Commander :: CMDR : WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Motions her sister toward the side of the lab station.::  CMO:  Because...
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: Well, we should be in the front, as I see it.  Give the squadrons the least ground to carry.  Still, I wouldn't mind having the Hera at our side, with those weapons.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::exhales:: CEO: There has to be something. If there's anything we learned from the Romulan War it's that cloak that leaves you blind is as dangerous to you as the enemy. They communicate with each other somehow so they know where each other is. There's *some* way to penetrate it.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: ...he'll kill the bugs, then us. Or us first. ::smiles and approaches:: All right, tell me something about the Skree.
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@Tigs: I'm here to see the head of the once proud Ravenprowler house.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods in agreement:: CIV: I'll be conducting a tactical briefing in the security department at 1730 this evening.  I think you and your squad leaders should attend.
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@::looks her up and down:: might that be you?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: I agree, I'm just at a loss as to how they're doing it
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::makes sure the other ships in the task force are in formation::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
Humph... CMO:  Didn't he say something about wanting to get to know us better?  Besides... he would have to prove it.  :: Activates the secondary shielding, then hands her sister a pair of special glasses.::
Tigs says:
@:: Grips her dagger tightly and puts it right under the Commander's neck :: CMDR:  You are not worthy to stand on the ground here, pataq, begone before I kill you. :: her voice seething and low ::
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: Absolutely.  I've already been over the base tactics with them, should no further intelligence be gleaned.  We'll be going with a quick, hit and run strafing technique.  We call it Itch to Scratch.
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@Tigs: I see your blood is still Klingon and it still boils as it should.  ::easily moves her dagger hand away from his neck:: you shall prove yourself worthy once again.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::takes the glasses and puts them on with ascertained movements:: CSO: He doesn't need to prove anything... who else would put bugs on his bed?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the CIV's comment but doesn't look up from the display:: CIV: I'm sure you and your pilots will have some very good ideas as to our battle tactics, Lieutenant.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
Computer, lower lights.  :: Places her glaces on.::  CMO:  You realize what kind of bugs those are right?  There will be nothing left for him to even see.  :: Looks at her sister.:: What would you like to know about the Skree?
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:

CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: If nothing else it should distract their attention away from the big Mothers, let you do your damage less impeded.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: Whatever you have found that is not on file.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Well, I hope the new upgrades to the targeting scanners will perform...we sure as heck don't need them to fail us on this one.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
Computer, begin test 11.
Tigs says:
@:: swears a long streak as she turns her back and walks away slamming the gate in his face ::
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@Tigs: You will accompany me.  The High Council is in need of your talents.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: I'm relying heavily on those targeting scanners for this mission.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO: The Skree have an interesting habit of popping up and doing harm and then coming off all innocent.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::places an encouraging arm on his shoulder:: CEO: You'll think of something, Commander. Perhaps you can liaise with Commander Ryan. I believe she's working on the same problem.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: I'm sure they'll be magic.  S'bad luck to worry about the tech stuff before a fight.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: It's just that ::shrugs:: I don't like task forces. They mean big trouble. We are used to our autonomy... at least I am. Teaming with other Starfleet vessels for something other than a party is never good.
Tigs says:
@:: yells past the gate ::  CMDR: NO Klingon does the bidding of the council in a STARFLEET uniform.  :: keeps on walking ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Yeah, I'm going to have the Chief go over the entire upgraded systems with a fine tooth comb en route.  I think it's a good idea.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::turns away from Hayward and returns to the command pit, coming to a stop behind the helmsman's chair:: FCO: Lieutenant, I might have something more interesting than flying in a straight line for you.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Really sir???
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@Tigs: ::shouts::  Commander Ravenprowler!  You have been ordered by the High Council at the request of the Federation.  You will come with me one way or another.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up:: CIV: Maybe I can increase the yields on the torpedoes.  I'll have to check into that...::Taps a note on her PADD::
Tigs says:
@:: calls jach'wI with a loud whistle, a gnarled targ comes running ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Watching as various energy intensities are directed at the hull, keeping track of the image off to the side of it.::  CMO:  This will be my first actually.  And given our orders and the fact we have back-up, makes you kind of wonder.  To me it looks like force and I don't know about the Skree, but that would not make me too friendly.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Oh, I'm inviting the tactical chiefs from all three ships for the briefing.  I think we all need to be on the same page.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::nods and leans over a bit:: FCO: Excuse me. ::taps a control on the helm and brings up a set of instructions being relayed through the TIC:: Command wants us so stretch our legs. Only the Salamis has been in a group-combat situation lately so they want us to run some combat maneuvering drills on the way. ::nods at the list:: I believe we're starting with Alpha. Salamis, Sheridan and Hera are already set.
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@::sees that this isn't going to be easy...quickly pulls a disruptor and stuns both the Targ and Tigs::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::exits for the TIC::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:

FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir I am ready now.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: Do any of the other ships have squadrons aboard?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Negative.  Your squadron is it.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::arrives in TIC:: CTO: Ahh. I've been looking for you
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@::jumps over the short fence and walks over to the targ to be sure it is all right, then moves to Tigs and presses a button on his sash::

::sits:: FCO: Execute Alpha Maneuver, Lieutenant.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:

Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Killemall and Tigs beam away in a flash of Klingon transporter energy.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Executing Alpha Maneuver now.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks up from her PADD as the CEO enters the TIC:: CEO: Chief...I'll need you to run complete diagnostics and tests on the upgraded systems.  I don't want them to fail on this mission...it's too important.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::executes the maneuver::
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::tsks:: CTO: Let's hope the Skree don't come with more than one or two.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Makes some notes.::  CMO: We do not want to be caught in the middle of a civil war.  For one thing our allies would get on our case.  The other is they are just plain nasty.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CTO: It's already scheduled. The captain thought you might have some ideas on how to deal with the Skree cloaking technology
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::grins:: CSO: You've summed them up pretty well.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Which is why I said that planning and strategy are the keys in this mission, Lieutenant.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::watches the maneuver on a small screen in front of him, seeing Salamis and Sheridan pull ahead of the Claymore, configuring for an attack run::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Sighs at the CEO:: CEO: Trying to figure out their cloaking technology without data is...well, futile at this point and will take up too much time.  But, you might want to check with Lieutenant Eris, she might have some ideas.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Reaches over and begins the cycle over again, this time using varying wave frequencies.::
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: Planning and strategy won't help if they outnumber us by a factor of 10, I think.  Let's hope the recon doesn't open up the floodgates.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Tigs awakes from her stunning to the inside of a Starfleet shuttle.  She is weaponless and strapped into a seat.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::follows the procedure closely, wondering if all of her sister's patience and effort will be somewhat rewarded::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: That was my thought also, the executive officer thought you might be able to help. I'll see you later :;exits::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods at the CIV:: CIV: I'm afraid, you might be right but we have to do everything in our power, right?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CEO: See you later, Chief.  ::Sighs::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::watches as the other ships do their maneuvers::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir they are doing exactly what they are supposed to do.
Tigs says:

CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::heads back to the bridge::
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::nods:: FCO: Let's pretend Sheridan has been damaged. Take her place in the run, we'll shield her withdrawal.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::watches the CEO leave:: CTO: We're really going in blind, yeah?  That doesn't often work out, in my experience.
Tigs says:
@:: sees the back of Killemall's head and growls low in her chest ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood sir.  ::does the appropriate changes and does as ordered::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
Self: Why is Bonfire getting antsy?  Something is not right.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::moves the Claymore into the slot of the Sheridan and extends the shields to shield her withdrawal::
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::glances at her:: FCO: Is it me, or did that not go as smoothly as it should have?
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO: Twin, what do you remember about refraction and deflection?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: The basics?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: No sir it did not go as planned.  This is one thing I will have to go over with the FCO of the Sheridan.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Yes, but don't forget, we're not to start the fight.  Our mission is to determine why they attacked us and the Chosin control center.  But, we need to be as prepared as we can just in case.
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@::turns to Tigs:: Ah!  I see you've come around!  It's about time.  Now, before you start trying to escape, I'll tell you that you are now on a Starfleet shuttle heading for you next assignment.  I suggest you calm down and accept your situation.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO:  Anything else?
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Were I in a similar situation, I would have had the computer take over the maneuvers from the lead ship being us.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The Claymore receives a com from Starbase 392
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: However, sir I am not the commanding officer so I would not be the one giving the orders.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
FCO: Set up a direct-COMM line with the Sheridan and get in contact with their Helmsman. Start working on the sims. We don't want to run in to each other when it counts.
Tigs says:
@CMDR: I have accepted no commission nor would I do so with out the head of Admiral G'Val on a platter and my rank reinstated, and when I get free you are a dead man!
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: It is up to... uh... the different properties of what's radiated and the materials that receive the radiation...? ::wonders when she returned to the Academy::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood sir.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
COM: USS Sheridan: This is FCO Rochelle please come in.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO:  I feel like I am missing something and I can't quite... put my finger on it.  :: Makes a few more notes.::
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@Tigs:  Look at the screen next to you.  Those are your orders.  Your rank has been reinstated.  Admiral G'Val's head is not something I can help you with.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::accepts the comm after being notified by the communications officer:: COM SB392: Claymore here. Go ahead Starbase 392.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO:  Still, we go poking about with a taskforce in the space?  We may not be starting the fight, but we're certainly facilitating it.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: Phew. Just please don't grade me on any official file.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::arrives on the bridge::
Tigs says:
:: looks at the screen with angry defiance, and reads ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: True, that is why I have to confer with Commander Daylan before we deploy the recon unit.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: The CTO was clueless. I'll work on it on my own
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Chuckles.::  CMO:  Some waterbugs for lunch then?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods:: CSO: Why not?
Host SB392 says:
COM: XO: Please stand by for Admiral Bradley, he's being patched through from the USS Reagan.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: I can make a recommendation but ultimately it is his decision.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::nods at Hayward but keeps one ear on the comm, reflexively standing when he hears the name:: COM SB392: Claymore standing by.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::returns to his station::
Tigs says:
@CMDR: I'll still kill you where you stand, only cowards stun when they could kill.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
COM: USS Sheridan: This is FCO Rochelle I want to speak to the FCO please.  We need to get these sims straight.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CIV: Still, have your recon units on hot stand-by.  They should be ready to launch on a moments notice.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
CTO: Sounds like we'll have a grand time of it.  I'll see you at 1730 unless we get some new intelligence?
Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: XO: Commander Daylan, this is Admiral Bradley, do you read?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods:: CIV: You do remember how to get to the security office, don't you?  ::Being a bit sarcastic::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::waiting on the reply from the Sheridan::
Host Cmdr_Killemall says:
@Tigs: I was not ordered to kill you.  That would have been counter productive.
XO_Cmdr_Daylan says:
::stands a little straighter:: COM Adm: Yes sir, I read you.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Admiral Bradley's visage appears on Claymore's main screen
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO: OK... Light comes in different lengths, which we perceive as different colors.  These give off differing energy.  As light goes through water, the colors change as the shorter waves are stopped....  :: bites her bottom lip.::

Tigs says:
@:: thinks of how many ways there are to kill a coward ::
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
::listens intently as this is something she must keep in her mind::
Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM:XO: I've been informed that Captain Taylor's condition has worsened.  He has regressed deeper into his coma and shows no signs of response to stimulation of any kind.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO:  When you put something in water, it bends due to the way the light is refracted...
Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: XO: His condition is considered critical and the best medical minds from Starfleet are en route to try to help him.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps her COM badge:: *Bates*: Prepare another fifteen or so PADD's, we're having guests at our tactical briefing and get a hold of the Security Chiefs on the Hera, Salamis and Sheridan and have them beam over for the briefing.  Ryan, out.

CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*Bates*: Then they can stand.  ::Grins to herself::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Bates> *CTO*: Aye, Commander.  Bates, out.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::nods:: CSO: Yeah, the pencil... I remember that... ::thinks its good she has a good memory as far as her trade is concerned::
Host Adm_Bradley says:
COM: XO: The Claymore cannot go into this mission without a captain and the task force needs a leader.  Therefore, Commander, I am granting you a field promotion to Captain and Commanding Officer of the Claymore.  I wish it were under better circumstances, but congratulations, Captain Daylan.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO:  I am thinking, with the right wave length and intensity, what is actually happening, is that the ship is not so much cloaked as the light surrounding it bends it so that we do not see what is in front of our noses.
FCO_Lt_Rochelle says:
XO: Sir I finally have the Sheridan straightened out and when you want to we can try it again.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
