<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@::In the main cave, going over the specs of the planetary defense system with one of the Chunum::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::on the bridge, dismissing the events of the 'drill' from earlier in his mind, and focusing on maintaining the peace near the Chunum planet::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
:::in the ship's readyroom, reading situational reports from the rest of the fleet::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::overseeing the instruction of the Chunum; a larger group is being taught by Avias::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::leaning on one of the inactive generators, watching Avias explain the basics of the defense system::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@::Continues monitoring the activites on the planet so he can update officials when needed.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@::finishes up showing the specs, spots Davis with a group of Chunum::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore's away teams and crew work efficiently to help the Chunum remain safe in the face of possible aggression.  Amenti ships still orbit Chuna and are slowly repairing themselves.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::Speaks to one of the Sojourner crew to see how they were doing on space as far as the evacuees went.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@:: walks over to Davis :: EO: How are things progressing Lieutenant?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CEO*:  Commander how are the defense systems coming.  Do you need any assistance?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::waits for the comm to cut so he doesn't interupt::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*CO*: Captain, the Amenti have made good progress on repairs to their ships, and the away teams appear to be making their preparations on schedule for the moment.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks up from the reports and closes down the screen:: *CTO*: Thank you, Lieutenant. And the status of the sensor net?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@*OPS*: We're finished with the main installation, both here and in the city. Davis is training them here, how are things on your end?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::straightens up a little now that Hayward is here::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@::Walks over to Commander T'Shara.:: OPS: Commander.  If the shields are almost complete I'd like to try a dry run of the evacuation of the Chunum to the safe zones.  We need to confirm if we can get enough of them into saftey before an all out attack,
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*CO*: It remains nominal as before. Nothing new to report on that end, sir.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::receives the latest sensor sweep from science, and confirms clear space around the Chuna system::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CEO*:  We are continuing with our evacuation efforts here I think the Sojourner are about full as far as their capacity goes though.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@::frowns:: *OPS*: Are you going to be able to accomodate all those wishing to leave?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::gets up and leasves the ready room, walking on to the bridge, fixing the blue-skinned tactical officer with a glance as he does:: CTO: Is the sensor net ready for full activation?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::Turns around at the voice of the counselor.::  CNS:  The main installation is complete.  They are just working on finishing up training the Chunum.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: So how is it going?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::looks back to Hayward::  CEO: Pretty good, I think.  I worked with three or four Chunum, and they've since brought in a group here who also wanted to know some of the basics.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::raising an eyebrow.::  *CEO*:  I think we can manage Commander or at least we can try.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::Gestures to Avias::  CEO:  He offered to run the little class - I've just been pitching in here and there.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::Nods to the Sojourner confirming what she anticipated.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@*OPS*: Good, Hayward out.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: They seem readily adaptable from what I've seen. Are they learning well?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods to the captain's arrival on the bridge:: CO: We can bring the enhanced long-range sensor packages online momentarily. They are operating at 96% efficiency at the moment.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CNS: If you want to join me I need to contact the Claymore and notify them of where we stand with the defense system and evacuation.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::nods::  CEO:  I think so.  At times I wonder...I can't really read their facial expressions all that well, but I get the impression that they are becoming somewhat familiar with things.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@:: quielty:: EO: I noticed that their paws seem to 'get in the way' a little. Think they will be oaky with Federation standard equipment?
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@OPS:  Sure, Commander.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::walks up to the upper level to join him:: CTO: Excellent. Begin initialization with the sensor system.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::shrugs, looking at the hands/paws of one of the creatures::   CEO:  I tried to reconfigure some of the consoles to provide larger buttons and schematics, but the systems aren't really designed for that.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@CEO:  They don't have a choice, really!
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@COM *CO*:  Standing by with an update sir.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::turns away from the tactical console and walks back down to the command pit, tapping a control on the side of the command chair:: *OPS* Go ahead, Commander. What do you have to report?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::turns and nods to Rhianna so she could finish opening the 'eyes' in the probes::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@::laughs:: EO: No they don't. We should be able to have the Claymore test the defense system out for real soon. If the captain wants to.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::initiates the set of commands with deft fingers to bring the probes 'awareness' to life::  CTO: It should be working and showing results momentarily... ::continues her manuevers with efficiency::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CO*:  Sir I have Counselor Renor here with me as well.  Commander Hayward has informed me that the the system installation is complete.  They are working on finishing training the Chunum as we speak.  Also, the Sojourner have concurred what I expected they have taken on as many Chunum wishing to evacuate as they can.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@*CO*: Captain I'd like to do a dry run of the entire system.  Can the Claymore send out a simulated attack across the sensor nets in about an hour.  We will have the officials here monitor the evac to safe zones.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Sensor alarms begin going off from the sensor net.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CO*: We have a slight problem though there are more Chunum wishing to evacuate than the Sojourner can take on.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::nods::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::mutters something to the duty operations officer and gets an orbital view of the transmat platform in the capitol city, teeming with Chunum:: *OPS*: Very good, Commander. I'll arrange things with Sojourner's captain. You'll need to ready for the second wave for when Sojourner comes back. Claymore out.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::notes Rhianna's hands working the console as easily as the day he first saw her work on the bridge of the starship Geneva::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::is about to reply to Renor when the bridge starts to beep:: *CNS* Standby, Counselor.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CO*:  Very well Captain.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO/CTO: Sensors are activated to alert status!
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks around:: CTO/SO: What is that?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::Looking over at the Counselor.::  CNS:  That didn't sound good.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::continues listening in, watching the example of how to manually reset the generator::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
SO: Let's make doubly certain that is a definitive contact scan, and not a sensor 'ghost' caused by the new resolution calibration.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO/CTO:  Working on collating the incoming data to find out why and if it is...  ::sees the information she needs::  ...it is a faint warp signature currently at the system's outer boundary.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@OPS: Lets hope its only a false sensor reading on the new net.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::Nods:: CNS:  Maybe you will get more than just a dry run test Counselor.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::notices Avias having trouble getting to the isolinar access, and he approaches the group slowly while trying to give Avias a chance to figure it out::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
SO/CTO: It's a ship?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CNS:  We will need to let the Chunum government know that as soon as the Sojourner have safely taken the Chunum to their new home that they will be back for the next wave of people.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::tracks what he thinks appears to be signs of a warp signature:: CO: A warp signature, sir. SO: Please identify, lieutenant.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO/CTO:  From its movement, the vessel's course is on a tangential line heading towards the nearby Sanctum.  ::feverishly takes in as much data as her mind can process and continues.  Shakes her head::  Its signature matches no known other ship in our database.  I would advise sending the data to the Amenti to see if they have further information.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods:: SO: Do it. ::turns his chair around:: CTO: Redesignate contact Uniform-1 and record the signature.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::brings back up the comm:: *CNS/OPS*: Counselor, we'll need to forego any drills for now. We have a contact. It might just be someone passing by, but their course appears to be headed for the Sanctum. Inform the Chunum.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@OPS: I will inform them at once.  Do we have an ETA when transport will resume.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::nods to himself as Avias finally presses the tray back towards the center of the generator, making it pop up towards him so he can access it::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@*CO*:  Captain should we evac the Chunum to the safe zones?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CO*: Aye Captain I will inform Commander Hayward as well to standby.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*CNS* Not yet. It might be a lot of trouble for nothing. Just let the government know. If they decide to do it, it's their call.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Uniform-1, aye sir. I'll display live sensor results on the main viewer ::transmits to the viewer in a small box superimposed on the lower left-hand of the viewscren, showing the location of the warp trail on a star map::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@*CO*: Aye Captain  I will inform them at once.  OPS: Commander if you'll excuse me I need to speak with the Chunum officials.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::initiates a report as succingtly and quickly as possible and hails both the Amenti ship speaking of the urgency of the matter in light of what their ships encountered::  COM: Amenti ships 1 and 2:  Commanders...following this transmission is data on an unidentified vessel at the outskirts of this system.   Since our database cannot identify it.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::returns back to his previous position and listens; he wants to let the Chunum teach themselves as much as possible, as he figures they'll understand it more::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::orders the helm to begin preliminary calculations on an intercept course but hangs tight for now::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
COM: Amenti ships 1 and 2:  We were hoping your information can reveal a positive ID...  Please respond!  ::raises the volume slightly::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::nods:: CNS: Very well.  Keep me posted Counselor.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CEO*:  Can you speak freely Commander?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::his lips curl into a slight smile at Rhianna's sudden burst of forcefulness, pleased she is not afraid to show a little angry passion while on the job::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::as the pause grows longer, Rhianna becomes more impatient, but not disillusioned and she glances irritatedly at both Daylan and Kizlev while they wait::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks back at the bridge offiers:: CTO/SO: Anything?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@*OPS*: Go ahead.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::mutes the audio briefly as she answers Daylan::  CO: I believe they are taking their time, Captain.  And their time does not to be in the same phase length as ours evidently.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@::Heads to the Chunum offices.::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CEO*: I have spoke to the Captain and updated him on our progress.  Also, wanted to alert you to the fact that apparently the Claymore has picked up something on sensors that appears to be headed for the Sanctum.  They are attempting to make contact but I think we should be ready just in case.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO/SO: Could they be playing us for fools? I know for a fact that they've restored much of their comm system to operational status.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::glances at the screen and the overlay of the ship's course and gets up, pacing a little:: CTO: Amenti space isn't a free transit zone. We were already given their information on the worlds in their system and the technology they use anyway. The fact that we don't know who this is bothers me... We might need to investigate. Concur?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::overhears the comm to Hayward and can't help but feel a little concerned::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@*OPS*: I'm firing up the defense grid just in case. Mind you, the city shield will only protect around 1/3 of the city. They'll need to move under it's umbrella.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::unmutes her end of the Com and finally is greeted with a bit of static::  <COM: Claymore:  We have more....  *static* ...issues.  On a cursory look...  *static* ...does not appear as if this particular vessel is a threat.  When we have time... *static* ...look into it.  ::transmission is abruptly cut.  Rhianna's ire starts to rise::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@::turns on the defense grid in both locations::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: I can only concur with great reluctance, sir. Doing so runs the risk of drastically reducing defenses in this system in case the Synod are plotting an ambush.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::heads over to Avias and interupts him as politely as possible to alert him of the situation::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Enters the Chunum Admin building and looks for PM Sydo.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The defense grid activates as expected and goes through a series of self-tests.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO/CO:  I would say the possibility that the Amenti are not forthcoming is correct.   Our probes are sending more information, perhaps that will help us.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::folds his arms across his chest and looks at the plotting map on the viewscreen again:: CTO: They're not far... If it really is a ruse we won't be too far away. SO: That will only help if they come in-system.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: Run standard disagnostics on the grid, first here, then at the city location
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CEO*: Very well Commander I am headed to your location as we speak.  Counselor Renor is going to speak to Prime Minister Sydo to inform him on what is taking place and see what he wants to do as far as getting the people into the safe locations.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::hears the order::  CEO:  Aye, sir.  ::links tricorder into the local grid and begins diagnostics::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@*OPS*: Understood. We'l be expecting you. 
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@PM_SYDO: Our sensor net has detected a vessel passing through the system.  We are trying to ID the craft, but you might want to alert your people.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::keeps her own opinion to herself knowing Kizlev's strategies are quite often sound and having reservations leaving their 'post' herself...but...::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::frowns finally:: CTO/SO: We need to know who this is. Kizlev, inform Major Sirk's squadrons that they'll be remaining here. Jakiel, keep an eye on our friend if they change course.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Understood, captain.Though I advise strong caution. This may just be a diversionary tactic.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sits back down and hits the comm button on his chair:: *OPS* Claymore to Evac Team.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::making her way to the caves she stops as her comm goes off.::  *CO*: T'Shara here Captain go ahead.
Host PM_Sydo says:
@::rises from his large green chair as the Ferengi enters and slowly nods his furry head::
Host PM_Sydo says:
@CNS: I understand, little one.  However, is that not why we have your vessel circling overhead?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO: Duly noted, Lieutenant. Bring us to red alert and close the bay doors.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::doesn't see anything out of order on the localized diagnostics; he switches to the city schematic and begins the same series of scans::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@PM_Sydo:  I have also been asked to inform you that the Sojourner will return shortly after dropping off the first of the evacuees.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO: Yessir.  ::continues to keep her attention wholly focused on the sensor's output.  Casually, 'reaches' out towards the unknown vessel experimentally, always tentative about an coming in 'contact' with an unknown entity at first::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::continues trying to make her way to the caves seeing the entrance just ahead of her.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*OPS*: We have a contact up here that we can't identify, Commander. We're going out to investigate. We're leaving the wing here to defend the planet. We won't be far. Make sure the surface defenses are working and you might inform the Prime Minister that he should get his people inside.
Host PM_Sydo says:
@CNS: Very well, strange-eared one.  Was there anything further?
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@PM_Sydo:  No Prime Minister.  Thank you for your time.  ::Bows before leaving the office.::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::informs the Major at the TIC to have his squadrons stay on sentry alert while the Claymore moves out to investigate, and activates Red Alert status::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*OPS* Wish us luck, Commander.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::watches the scan run smoothly on his tricorder; so far, so good..::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sits up in his chair:: DutyHelm: Take us out on course to intercept. Warp Five at minimum safe distance.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@::Retuns to Commander T'Shara's location.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@*CO*:  Aye sir.  I am making my way to Commander Hayward's location as we speak and he is bringing the Defense system online now.  I will inform the Prime Minister.  Good luck sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@*OPS: The defense grid seems to be working as expected.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::stops her movements for a second and looks up, not focusing on anything in particular, but immediately 'withdraws' her psionic focus, a bit surprised.  Quickly looks back down, a bit concerned, to check the output for anything significant::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*OPS* Good luck to you as well, T'shara. Claymore out.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::approaches Hayward::  CEO: The diagnostics aren't showing any deficiencies, sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::walks over to Commander Hayward.::  CEO:  Very well Commander.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore breaks orbit and quickly moves to intercept the unknown contact.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: Excelent. Lets hope we don't have to find out any inconsitancies the hard way. Good job.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CNS: We need to inform the Prime Minister that he should move his people to safety inside the grid.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::nods::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::says quietly to Kizlev as the Captain is in discourse with Operations:: CTO:  As I normally do, I 'touched' the minds out there.  It was a bit...unusual.  ::not completely sure now of what she felt::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CEO/EO/CNS: I just spoke to the Captain and the Claymore is leaving orbit to investigate the unidentified vessel.  They will leave the air wing to protect the planet.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@OPS:  Personally, I'd be happier with a starship doing that job...  ::still not used to the idea of having to depend on an air wing::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::tries 'reaching' again and with a little more 'firmness' to her attempt just out of sheer stubborn curiosity::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@OPS: You mean were stuck here for the duration? Let's hope every thing turns out our way
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
SO/CTO: Anything more on our friends? ::looking back from the viewscreen showing spiked stars as they transit through warp space::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: We're approaching Uniform-1, ETA 2 minutes...
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CEO: Aye Commander.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::shifts in her seat, turns a bit towards the Captain::  CO:  Perhaps, Sir.  In a manner of speaking.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Uniform-1 seems to match Claymore's speed.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::turns to Rhianna, his eyes showing more than a little curiousity:: SO: Can you...glean more about them? Are they familiar in any way?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::watches the exchange between them::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
@OPS: Commander, The PM told me that it was up to the Claymore to help defend them.  Until the system alerts us down here they are not going to randomly move their people.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: They're matching our speed, sir.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@CEO: How hostile are these beings anyway?  I never even heard of them before transferring out to the Claymore..
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::frowns:: CTO: Well that's certainly indicative. Try to hail them.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors now confirm that the contact is a vessel and it's increasing speed while changing course in an attemp to avoid Claymore.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CNS: Understood Counselor all we can do is keep them posted if they want to stay put until then there is nothing we can do.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::attempts to record the configuration of the unknown vessel while opening the comm:: CO: Hailing frequencies open.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
DutyHelm: Increase to flank and match course.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::glances at both Kizlev and Daylan, shaking her head 'no' to the Andorian::  CO/CTO: It is reflex to 'search' unknowns.  What concerns me is not that I felt nothing from them...but it seems almost as if they are 'shutting' me out.  It is hard to tell, though.  If true, that could help identify their vessel.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: The Synod? For what I hear they're as vicious as can be.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
SO: Maybe we'll get answers some other way... ::turns back to the screen:: COM Uniform-1: Unidentified vessel, this is the Federation Starship Claymore. You are in Federation Space, and we have no record of your being here. Reduce speed and drop out of warp immediately.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO/CTO:  Confirmation.  Contact is a space faring vessel.  Its speed is increasing and they are definitely trying to avoid us.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::frowns; it wasn't until right about...now....that the degree of danger really set in for him::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: How is the grid functioning? Looks okay to me.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The only response to Claymore's hail is an incredibly smooth 180 degree turn towards Claymore.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@takes a quick peek at his tricorder::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head at the lack of comm traffic on the unknown's end:: CO: No response, sir. We're dealing with a cylindrical vessel...roughly 200 meters in length...it's energy output seems to far outstrip any other known vessel of that size. Wait...they've raised shields and are coming about!
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@CEO:  Looks good so far.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::watches the data from sensors streaming in and concurrently asks the computer to bring up all known telepathic/empathic warp capable species known::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::swallows:: CTO: Shields up!
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::her adrenaline rises sharply as this vessel is now abruptly facing them::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@CEO:  I don't think I'd want to be here when it's really put to the test, though.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: We may have no choice.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::knows the shields were already raised since red alert was sounded, and overrides the helm control to perform a high-energy turn in order to get the Claymore to impulse and out of the curving path of the vessel::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM Uniform-1: Unidentified Vessel. We read your posture as hostile. Stand down immediately or we will be forced to act. Please acknowledge!
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@OPS: Is the Claymore in communications range?
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::feels decidedly unnerved not being able to 'see' this unknown and for an instant shudders as she thinks of the Breen, then shakes that off knowing that species has no psionic ability whatsoever to put up a 'block'::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: As Claymore's shields go up, the unknown vessel opens fire and unexpectedly rocks the bridge.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CEO/EO/CNS: Aye the Commander is right we might not have a choice as to where we will be if the Synod decide to attack.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::tries to 'send' peaceful emotions in hopes of smoothing over any ruffled feathers if this is not an enemy ship and it is as one of her species::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shudders in his seat:: Self: Shazbot! CTO: What was that?!?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@CEO/OPS: In that case.....:::removes phaser from pouch and adjusts it setting a little higher::....might as well be ready..
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@::tries her commbadge and gets nothing back.::  CEO: It appears they are still out of range Commander.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@::paces:: All: Not knowing is the worst.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Definitely disruptors, sir. The nutation of their blasts matches it perfectly... ::turns to Rhianna:: ...with Romulan military-grade weaponry.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::feels the Claymore reverberate against the attack and watches the sensors for any heightened damage due to the type of weapon they had been discussing earlier::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::follows his eyes to Rhianna but returns his attention to the screen:: CTO: Aim for their engines.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The little ship follows the disruptor salvo with that of photon torpedoes.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::starts to feel a little warmer, and he runs his hand between his neck and his tunic in the back::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Returning fire! ::targets Uniform-1's engines, and fires phasers::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::opens the channel again:: COM Uniform-1: Unidentified Vessel, you have fired on a Federation Starship and are in violation of Federation Statute 17.C of the Galactic Transit Code. Stand down immediately or we will be forced to fully engage you.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore's phasers hit their mark, but the little ship's shields absorb the impact.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The unknown vessel shifts course to make a strafing run on Claymore.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::jerks her head up, totally taken by surprise::  Self:  Remans....?!  ::'removes' herself from any mental 'contact' protectively, fighting the fear that is starting to creep up her spine::  Self:  Purloined or purchased weaponry?  ::directs sensors to identify more clearly the weaonry and the composition of metals used in this vessel::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CEO: It is unfortunate that we don't have sensors down here to be able to track what is going on up there so we could anticipate anything incoming to the planet.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::impressed the young Duty FCO could evade two of the three photons from the cylinder ship, and tries to lock photons of his own as the Claymore comes about as best as it can against the smaller and more nimble Uniform-1::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@OPS: You can say that again.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::orders the helmsman to bring them back around, even as he sees the gold lances from their arrays strike the ship with no noticible effect::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@CEO/OPS: How much of the Engineering staff is planet side?
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The little ship fires again, hitting Claymore's impulse engines.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: About half our compliment.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::is paying careful attention to the flight tactics of the enemy ship, comparing them to Romulan and Reman normal stalkings::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@CEO:  Yikes. At least it won't be our fault for breaking things then.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Impulse propulsion has taken damage and are offline. Shield efficiency down to 78%.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@EO: Lets just hope the Claymore doesn't need us.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::hears the pop and sizzle of consoles behind him:: Self: Damn it! CTO: Maintain shield integrity at all costs and ready a full salvo!
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO:  This is too unusual.  Are they using our harmonics to increase their weapon's damage?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::nods and exhales heavily::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::reaches for a button on his chair arm:: *Engineering*: Bridge to Engineering. We need maneuvering power restored right [censored] now!
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The little ship zips past Claymore, jumps to warp and heads directly for Chuna.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::hovers her fingers waiting to hear Kizlev's answer, ready to put in effect the rotating false harmonics::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::tries to ignore the shaking and sparks from the engineering console, and focuses firecely on a torpedo lock:: CO: I have a lock...! ::sees the ship engage at warp:: ...or not. ::grimaces in frustration::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::waves some of the fog of the fire retardant systems out of his face:: CTO: I see it. SO: Where are they going?
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::swears in Romulan, feeling terribly angered by the freaking little ship's ability to lure them and then take them out::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO: Heading directly for Chuna!  We need to warn those people.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@CEO/EO: How are the shields holding?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
@OPS: They're fine for now
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
SO: Open a channel, quickly!
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::again looks to tricorder::  OPS:  I'm not registering any problems in the grid.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO: Get us moving and restore shields!
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::hits the COM and fires out the warning:: CO:  Channel opened, Sir!
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@EO: Acknowledged.  Let's just hope it stays that way and holds.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@OPS:  That's a rog...
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::coughs in the retardant gas and looks at the fading cheronkov blossom from the ship's departure on the screen:: COM Chuna: Evac Team, this is Claymore. We're disabled. Target vessel is on its way to planet. Repeat. Target is headed your way.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Already on it, sir. ::gets the helm to adjust course with maneuvering thrusters and engage warp immediately:: SO: I suspect a betrayal here, Rhianna. ::stares with narrow eyes at the viewscreen::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::looks at Kizlev::  CTO: Those tactics were calculated!    Precise...but desperate to take on a ship like ours.  Something isn't making sense.  They know we can still follow them.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@COM* CO: Acknowledged.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::slouches back in his seat:: COM Chuna: Prophets help you. We'll be there as soon as we can.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
Self: Amenti...their silence is telling...
EO_Lt_Davis says:
@::the words create a cold stinging sensation in his chest, which boils over into a nervous warmth as he realizes there's nothing between the planet and some rather hostile aliens::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
@ALL:  Well I'm sure you heard the news.  We need to sound the general alarm immediately and prepare for an attack.
