<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: In her quarters, lying on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, her mind unfocused.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::overseeing the ruins of the ship, wondering how he will pull this off::
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::leaning against a wall near his office, flipping through various reports::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::exiting the captain's ready room after an energy-sapping 'discussion' with the captains of the Hera and the Sheridan::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::walks over to the captain's chair and taps the blue comm button:: *CEO*: Bridge to Engineering.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks though main engineering and realizes how understaffed they are for this project:: *CSO*: Hayward to Eris
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: Here captain
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
*CEO*: Commander, do you have any figures for me yet?
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::suppresses a yawn as he reads the exact number of Mark XXV photon torpedoes that were used::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Blinks as a voice comes out of nowhere.  It takes a moment before her mind focuses.:: *CEO*:  Eris is not home.  What can I do for you?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: Nothing definitive. I'm trying to contact out chief science officer to see if she will reassign some personnel to me for the time being. We need dry-dock - Starfleet dry-dock, and we don't have it. This would normally take weeks
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: I need to ask you a favor. Can I have your entire department for repair duty? Time is of the essence here
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CEO*: Everyone?
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::exhales, exhausted:: *CEO*: We don't have access to a dry-dock at the moment. Just patch us up as well as you can. Use whatever personnel you need. Bridge out.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: The magnitude of destruction was great. I need all available and trained personnel. Science comes as close as it can to engineering.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CEO*: The physicists do Woody, but not my biologists.  However, if you keep it simple, you should do fine.  Everyone is pretty much working where they can to get their areas back into shape.
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
OPS-NPC: Contact the flagship, please.
Host King_Skorloth says:
COM: Claymore: This is Skorloth.  I offer personnel and material assistance.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: Great, that’s just what I wanted to hear. Thank you. Hayward out
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: With a sigh, pries herself off the bed, and feels for the lump still making itself present.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: With reallocation of personnel, I'm estimating three days till we can at least get out of here under our own power. That’s the best I can do.
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::gathering some tools from an equipment locker in engineering::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::grimaces at the offer, expecting it:: *COM Skorloth*: Thank you for your gracious offer, Your Majesty. I believe we'll be able to handle at least temporary repairs in order to get back underway. Anything further will require our facilities in the Federation. However, I was hoping for another indulgence?
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Steps slowly over to her console and gives her team a general all call.  Except those involved in anything critical, all others were to report to the CEO.::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::gestures to the comm officer to mute the conversation while he answers the other:: *CEO*: Does that estimate account for additional help from Hera and Sheridan?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CO*: No. if they are able, I can put them to work as well and maybe shave off 12 to 15 hours
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
....
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::heads over to a half-destroyed console and begins repairing it::
Host King_Skorloth says:
COM: Claymore: Our facilities here equal or exceed anything the Federation has to offer.  Without more than temporary repairs you'll not live to see your home again.  ::sounds a bit insulted at the perceived snub::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
*CEO*: I'll try to arrange that with the other captains as soon as I can. Just do what you can. Bridge out.
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::gestures to the comm officer to turn the audio back on:: My sincere apologies, sir. But we have regulations about revealing sensitive security issues. I'm sure you understand? ::adds an inflection to his voice, suggesting the reciprocal need for information in order to combat the rebels::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CEO*: Woody, the gang should be on its way.  Be nice to them.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::walks over to the crew inspecting the reserve Kaneda going into rotation and observes::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: I'll replicate some snacks. That usually pleases people if they get to take breaks from doing the impossible.  Thanks.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CEO*: Ahhh food.  You just might get me there too... however, I need to go torment one captain.
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::thinks he almost has the console repaired::
Host King_Skorloth says:
COM: Claymore: Very well, Captain.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: Enjoy. Hayward out.
OPS_Robins says:
::Quietly walks onto the Bridge and moves towards the Operations console, where he takes over from the current manager on duty::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CO*: Captain, did you still want me?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::hurriedly puts the newcomers to work as the science department arrives::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::answers quickly, leaning over the comm officer's shoulder to hit the mute:: *CSO*: Yes. Come to the bridge as soon as you can, Eris. But I can't talk now.
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::attempts to enable the console but fails, then proceeds to continue repairing it::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::releases the mute:: *COM Skorloth*: Very gracious sir. About that other indulgence. Would you grant me an audience? I believe this situation warrants a meeting... in person.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Nods instead of replying only to grit her teeth as pain shoots through her head.  Apparently the meds had worn off.  She opens a drawer and pulls out some tablets.  Taking one, she crunches it between her teeth as she heads out the door, running a hand through her hair to straighten it a bit.::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: As the lift doors open, she leans back a moment, waiting for the tablet to take affect.::  Computer, bridge.
Host King_Skorloth says:
COM: Claymore: I agree.  Since I doubt that you are prepared for our atmosphere, I shall come to you on board your ship.  Be prepared to receive me on your bridge in 10 of your minutes.
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::touches the mute again:: OPS: Do we have access to the underwater gear in the prep room for Transporter Room 1?
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
OPS: Uh... belay that. ::releases the mute after clearing his throat:: *COM Skorloth*: Your Majesty, I'm afraid you would not be seeing us at our best and there are dangerous repairs underway. We wouldn't be able to guarantee your safety. I believe we have sufficient facility aboard to allow me to survive in your conditions. Would that be acceptable
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
::As the lift doors open, feeling a tad better, she steps onto the bridge, her eyes going straight to Atlas.::
OPS_Robins says:
::Glances around nervously, not able to keep up with the Captain lately::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Eyes Atlas wondering what he is talking about.::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::smiles tiredly at his sister and waits for the monarch's response::
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::attempts to activate the console again, this time succeeding::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::spots an EO successfully repairing something:: EO: Good job there. Keep up the good work.
Host King_Skorloth says:
COM: Claymore: I understand.  I shall bring my own security with me.  Nine minutes, Captain.
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::smiles:: CEO: Thank you, sir.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Skorloth ends the communication.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  What was that all about?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks down at his own consol, begins recalibration of the matter-antimatter reactor::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::curses to himself in Bajoran:: CSO: It seems we won't get our chance to look around. But I think I'll still need your insight. And an overall tactical assessment as well. Lieutenant Sirk should be here. See if you can sweet talk him out of the flight bay please.
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::glances to the sitting man:: OPS: We have nine minutes. Can we get someone up from maintenance to clear out this debris? ::gestures to the litter of wires and blown panels all over the bridge:;
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  You got the wrong sister, but I will see what I can do.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CIV*: Jamie, you busy?
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::thankful for the interruption:: *CSO*: Not especially, what's up?
OPS_Robins says:
CO: Hmm, maybe not Captain.  I'll get to work right away... ::stands from his chair and starts gathering strewn wires in his arms::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CIV*: Are you up to some sweet talking?
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::uses the console he just repaired to access damage reports::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::watches Robins for a minute before joining in himself, stooping to pick up a blown panel and drag the carbon-scared plate over to the wall and out of the way::
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
*CSO*: I'm on duty at the moment, Lieutenant....?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::runs a simulation of the current intermix::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CIV*:  The captain has given me permission.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The CO cuts his hand deeply on the metal plate
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
*CSO*: Very well, where to?
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
Outloud: Shazbot! ::drops the panel, gripping his hand::
OPS_Robins says:
CO: Captain!  Careful.... um.  Sir.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CIV*: Meet us... :: Turns quickly at the curse.::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  What have you done to yourself?
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::kicks the panel and walks over to one of the equipment lockers, trying to remember the unlock code to get to the first aid kit inside:: CSO: It's nothing.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Seeing the welling blood, heads down to OPS to grab the med kit.::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Comes back to him.::  CO:  Some things never change.  Let me take a look at that.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Supervise and keep things moving. I have some things to do from the bridge. I'll contact you if necessary, okay?
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The panel, in reaction to the CO's kick, is jarred slightly and imbeds itself into the lower area of a console.  Power shorts out and the bridge goes dark.
OPS_Robins says:
::Sighs audibly in the darkness::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Glances up and sighs.  To No one.::  Lovely...
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CEO*: Woody.  Lights are out on the bridge.
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::begs the Prophets for grace and patience:: All: Someone get these lights back up please.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Knowing the bridge well, she puts the box down on the console and opens it up.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks up from his panel::*CSO* I just saw. :;tries to remote bypass the bridge lights power conduit:: Give it one minute
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CEO*:  Thanks...
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::gets impatient:: Computer: Computer, determine the location of my last incoming comm.  ::gets the information and heads to the bridge::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The bridge lights come on.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: How about now? I'm headed that way anyways
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::looks over the damage reports, wondering which should take priority::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
All: Thank you, whoever that was. OPS: Ensign, watch your hands.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Three bright shafts of light appear near the main viewscreen.  They are dark blue, fluctuating "waterfall" like shafts that last only a few seconds.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Reaching into the box, she feels around until she finds the material she wants.  Pulls out a piece of cloth.::  CO:  If you will give me your arm, I will at least stop the bleeding.
OPS_Robins says:
CO: I try to, sir.  ::Stands up on a non-functional console and tucks another bundle of wires into the ceiling and jars the panel shut::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::leaves for the bridge after confirming the status of the lights::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::watches Robins to make sure they don't end up with someone else out of commission while letting Eris work on his hand::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CEO*:  There on, thanks Woody.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Reaches for Atlas' arm to look at the wound.::
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::begins rerouting the secondary power grid in an attempt to get power to the parts of the ship that need it::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged. ::enters the turbolift:: 
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Quickly cleans the wound, checking it over.::  CO:  You need to go visit Eos.
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
CSO: Don't have the time. ::withdraws the unhealed hand and steps over to the incoming light::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: After the light shafts dissipate, three large humanoid beings are left standing in their wake.  The one in the center is a bit taller and wears an ornate uniform and helmet.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Using that annoyed tone of voice.::  CO: Atlas... :: Pauses as she turns to see what he sees and goes silent, watching.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::arrives on the bridge::
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::starts to enter the bridge behind Hayward and stops in the archway after seeing the new guests::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::stands before the imposing suited men, waywardly brushing dust off his uniform and addressing the one in the center:: Skorloth: Your Majesty?
OPS_Robins says:
::Jumps down from the console, slightly embarrassed, and brushes off the soot::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Seeing there was no way around it, she steps back to grab a bandage and unobtrusively walks back to Atlas and places a large band-aid over the wound for now.::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Steps back and to the side.::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::feels the pressure on his hand and tries not to grimace, idly wondering how they respond when they smell blood::
Host King_Skorloth says:
::looks down at the CO, then around the bridge...not replying immediately::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:: steps to the engineering consol:: Computer, transfer control of engineering to the bridge
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::steps onto the bridge to let the doors close but doesn't say a word::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: After a moment takes a few steps back to her console, only to pause and step over to the auxiliary console.::
Host King_Skorloth says:
::begins walking around the bridge away from the CO, but addresses him directly::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Glances at the console and taps in a few commands to make sure the computer is reordering all of this.::
Host King_Skorloth says:
CO: I see your ship took a great deal of damage, Captain.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::feels the creepy eyes of the King as the hairs on the back of his neck stand up::
Host King_Skorloth says:
::walks slowly past each console and glances at each almost daring the CO to say something about it::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::follows him with his eyes:: Skorloth: Skree technology is formidable, Your Majesty.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Leans back to watch, curious.::
Host King_Skorloth says:
::moves near the turbolift and stares Sirk in the face as he walks by::
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::decides to join a repair team in a nearby Jeffries tube.. there was something about crawling around in the guts of the ship that he enjoyed::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
::Glances over at Jamie.::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
Skorloth: If it pleases you, I would like to introduce some key members of my crew. Others are engaged with repairs.
Host King_Skorloth says:
CO: Indeed it is, Captain.  It is good of you to say so.
Host King_Skorloth says:
CO: Please do
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::cocks his eyebrow at Eris::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Shrugs, glad he is there as they were a wee bit short tactical at the moment.::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
:;gestures to each person as he calls their names, careful to keep his gestures small:: Skorloth: To your rear is Lieutenant Commander Hayward, our Chief Engineer. The gentleman at the lift is Lieutenant Sirk. He led the fighter squadrons in repelling the rogue faction's attack. To my left, Lieutenant Senn, my Chief Science Officer.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Nods her head respectfully... well, for her.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::becomes short of breath as the King looks at him again. Slight Xenophobia::
Host King_Skorloth says:
::goes back and stares Sirk in the face again, getting a bit too close::  Sirk: Very good tactics, Lieutenant.  ::moves on::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::follows the meandering this time:: Skorloth: Sir, I believe it's critical at this juncture that we discuss how to proceed from here.
CIV_Lt_Sirk says:
::coughs as the King moves away:: Skorloth: Thank you, your majesty.
EO_Ens_Davis says:
::climbs down a ladder to the next deck, then climbs into a crawlspace and down the narrow tunnel until he reaches an access panel::
Host King_Skorloth says:
CO: Captain, I believe we have much to discuss.  ::gestures towards the ready room::  Would your ready room suffice?
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Frowns at Atlas and looks at Jamie, wondering if it was wise for him to go with the king alone.::
CO_BrCapt_Daylan says:
::smiles, not showing any teeth:: Skorloth: That would be perfect. But perhaps our discussion could benefit from some aides that would have necessary facts closer at hand than I would.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Relaxes a bit at the captain’s comment.::
Host SMDave says:
