Finding Peace - Mission 10
Host SMDrew says:
Summary: The shuttle craft Soulhaven now on the planet surface parked on the aft section of the USS Nantahala.  A few meters from the Soulhaven lays the Nantahalas' shuttle bay.  The doors lay torn and decaying in the ice along side the once graceful ship.  70,000 kilometers away the USS Claymore waits for word from the Away team.  Ever vigilant the Claymore continues scans of the system and beyond.

SO_Archimedes says:
:: At science on the bridge, keeping a close eye on the area for any evidence of the return of the Vinii::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Looks at the main view screen at Tau Kata VI.::  SO:  Anything on long range scans?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::In the main office of sickbay, reviewing the treatment material with Merriweather:: Merriweather: ..All right... Anything else?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Standing in the open doorway of the landed shuttle she shakes her head::  All: How there could be survivors... :: steps down onto the ice, carefully::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::At the CEO Station in ME, monitoring the isotope decay in the M/ARC, also monitoring the Away Team telemetry from the shuttle::
SO_Archimedes says:
CO:  Area still reads clear... no activity.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Follows close behind Senn::  CSO:  It's unlikely...but even if there aren't, maybe we can find some clues to the whereabouts of the Romulan vessel.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Captain, have you read my latest log?  I am in agreement, the Vinii craft should be jettisoned immediately, it does pose a hazard to the ship!
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  MO:  Nothing that you haven't already seen, ma'am.  Those are all of Doctor Welland's notes in addition to my own.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
SO:  Thank you.  ::Continues to look at the planet in the distance.::  Self: At least we have no guests for now.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Maybe they are with the others.  :: With tricorder in hand, slowly makes her way to the entrance located on ship.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Reviews the PADDs carefully, her mind whirling as she tries to straighten out all the pieces:: Merriweather: All right...  ::Presses a couple fingers to her temple and closes her eyes a moment:: Listen in and catch me if I stray off course.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*CEO*:  If you are sure we have learned everything we can then proceed.  Have Flight bay maintenance tractor it out of the rear doors.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  One can hope that they made it to safety somewhere.  ::Follows Senn, withdrawing his tricorder sans wand in order to keep watch in other directions::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@aOPS: Don't forget the transporter enhancers.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather> ::Nods, somewhat tentatively::  MO:  Will do, ma'am.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Is it me or is it the suits, but I feel cold.  :: checks each step of the way on the uncertain ice as she heads for the Nantahala::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain...we are done with it, we can leave a transponder onboard, let a science vessel latch on to it and study it further.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Merriweather: Of the substances detected in both the affected equipment and patients, only the subspace anomalies and the carbon-14 are both present, and seem possible causes of the degradation of substances.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Well, it's...definitely not warm, at least.  ::Watches both his footing and the tricorder carefully, counting on Senn for direction::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Arriving at an opening in the vessel, activates a light and looks inside::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.  See that a transponder is placed on board before maintenance tractors it out.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*Flight Bay Operations*:  This is Lt. Hull, at your first opportunity, tractor the Vinii craft off the ship, leave a Starfleet transponder aboard so a science vessel can intercept and study further after the mission.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: I am picking up ship signatures, eight of them.  ETA 10 minutes.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<Flight Bay Ops> *CEO*:  Aye Lt. Hull, opening the bay doors now...transponder will be attached.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Head turns quickly to Archimedes at the mention of incoming ships.::  SO: Vinii?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Playing the light around the shuttle bay, seeing it full.  Quietly:: It does not look like they had a chance to get any shuttles out.  It must have been sudden.  :: steps in and carefully heads toward the interior door.::
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Shakes his head, his voice puzzled::  CO: Signature matches Orion.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Merriweather: Both inorganic and organic material show signs of oxidation, or electron loss: "rust" on the vessels and equipment, and increased ROS levels in the patients.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: Six interceptors and two of the Wanderer class.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Stands:: SO: Acknowledged.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Or else, by that point, there was no one left who could operate them.  ::Activates his hand beacon and walks along carefully, fanning out slightly::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
TO: Take us to red alert.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  MO:  Sounds right, so far.  ::Resumes being patiently quiet::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: The light plays off the ice that is coating most things.::  CMO:  If not for the horror behind this, it is almost like a wonderland.
Host SMDrew says:
<TO_Smith>:  CO: Red Alert Aye.  ::Pushes a few buttons on the tactical display.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Merriweather: And, both inorganic and organic materials show increases in carbon-14 levels.   But where is the carbon-14 coming from, and where are the electrons going to?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ *CO*: Captain, we have safely landed and in the ship itself, heading downward.  It looks like all the shuttles are still here.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Smiles slightly::  CSO:  Ice tends to create that atmosphere, for some reason.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
aOPS: Open a hailing frequency.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
<aOPS> CO: Aye ma'am hailing frequency open.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
COM: Orion vessels: This is Captain T'Shara of the USS Claymore.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Reaching the remnants of the door, she shines the light both directions.  Stepping carefully through, she heads downward.::  CMO: Careful of the ice... it coats everything.  I could wish for handrails myself.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Observes as extra engineers appear in Main Engineering as Red Alert Klaxons blare increasing manpower to all 3 watches::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Looks up and around, passing through the door behind Senn and making his way downward::  CSO:  The footing is rather poor.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@:: Walking with care, avoiding obvious traps::  CMO: Have you ever been skating?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  Proceed with caution and keep me informed.  We have detected 8 incoming Orion vessels.
Host Orion_Pirate says:
COM: USS_Claymore:  Captain we have claimed this craft under the salvage laws set forth by your Federation.  We request you leave the area at once.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Yes...although I'm not especially interested in doing so, at the moment, if I can help it.  ::Places his hand on an ice-coated bulkhead, as though it will make any difference in his stability::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  I'm very interested in seeing whether the computer core and the rest of the equipment is intact, so we can confirm the origin of those parts we picked up from Avilon Vell's ship....  ::Aims his tricorder down the corridor, checking for any lifesigns in all directions::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
EO Ens. Secord: I'll be on the bridge
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Quietly::  CMO: I never have... :: even quieter::  I am not picking up any signs, visual or sensor of any bodies.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<EO Ens. Secord> CEO:  Aye Sir!
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
COM: Orion: We are not here to cause trouble we are only here in search of our lost vessel and crew.  We will leave this area when we are through with our search then you can do what you want with the ship.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Lowers his voice to Senn's level, not really sure why, but not going to begrudge the quiet::  CSO:  Neither am I, so far.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Exits Main Engineering, heads for the nearest TL to the Bridge::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Finding an access way, opens the panel and plays the light in.  Feeling very tense, climbs in and continues to make her way downward.  Commenting, more to herself.::  CMO: That is good...
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Thinks silently a few full moments, almost as if forgetting Merriweather's presence::
Host Orion_Pirate says:
ACTION:  In a brief flash the Vinii I Fighter pulls through a sub-space anomaly.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: Captain... an anomaly opening...
Host Orion_Pirate says:
COM: USS Claymore: Captain.  We have already determined that the craft is completely empty.  There is nothing more to discuss.  You are not in Federation space and as such the vessel on the planet is ours.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Looks to her directly, though she really can't see it on account of the helmet and the fact that she's a few steps ahead of him::  CSO:  Everything all right, so far?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::TL doors open onto the bridge, Logs onto Eng1 console, which becomes active displaying the status of all ship systems.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Yea... yea... it is just... it is so dark and it almost feels like we are walking in a tomb.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Stands suddenly:: Merriweather: Let's take another look at those anomalies.  ::Heads out of the office and to the nearest scanning receptacle.  Carefully takes one of the small pieces of the Enola Rae she had salvaged and places it into the receptacle, then activates the scanner::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Remains silent, at that, but only for a moment::  CSO:  I wonder if any of the equipment is still operational.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: Captain, the Vinii vessel was pulled through an anomaly.  Also, the orions are powering up weapons.  Their shields are up.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
COM: Orion: In Federation space or not my orders stand and until we determine the ship is empty and what happened to it and its crew we are not leaving this space.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Notices Hull enter the bridge and nods::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  ::Follows Raeyld out, watching, yet careful to stay out of the way as the doctor works::
Host Orion_Pirate says:
COM:  USS Claymore:  So be it Captain.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Can I say I hope not?  If they are alive, they would have activated it if it was... or they would have taken what was usable with them.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
SO: Pulled through by what?  ::Raises an eyebrow::
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: Apparently an anomaly opened for it.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Merriweather: Let's see if we can find out what those subspace anomalies are doing, then see if we can discover how the metreon and anti-protons slow the degradation. If my hunch is right...  ::Falls silent, and focuses on tightening the controls on areas of heightened subspace activities::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
FCO: Prepare evasive maneuver alpha.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Activates a recording mechanism on the scanner, so she can review the information in slower speed later::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Turns to Hull wondering what this means now and then focused back on the viewer::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather> MO:  What's your idea?  ::Stands alongside her, watching on the monitors as she scans the material::
Host Orion_Pirate says:
ACTION:  6 Orion interceptors break from the Wanderer class vessels and fire their forward beam weapons.  The initial attack shakes the Claymore violently as the green energy weapons spark across the Claymore's shields.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: Six Orion interceptors... and firing.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, we would stand a better offensive stance if our fighters were launched, more than one target!
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  As far as that goes...you're absolutely allowed to hope not.  ::Focuses his tricorder in all directions, looking for any indication of...anything::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Grabs a hold of the console near her as the ship shakes::  FCO: evasive maneuver alpha now.
Host TO_Smith says:
CO:  Return fire?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Aye, Lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  All torpedo tubes are loaded, phasers are fully charged.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
TO: Power up weapons and fire at will.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::While operating the controls, begins to nod quietly to herself:: Merriweather: Ah ha! Yes...  The subspace anomalies, when they appear, draw in the electrons... They pass through the anomalies, to...Who knows where?...causing the oxidation. And... ::Recalibrates the scanner a moment:: ..Yes, they are also releasing the carbon-14.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Shields down to 80%.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Think I see something...an opening in the plating about 30 meters and three decks down from where we are now.  See it?  ::Checks his tricorder for any other information::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Merriweather: ...Perhaps some sort of byproduct of whatever reaction is using the electrons? Or simple seepage from whatever is on the other side of the anomaly?
Host TO_Smith says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::Begins to target one of the interceptors.:
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
aOPS: Notify the flight bay to launch fighters immediately and take up posture around the Claymore, beginning their attack on the Orion.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: glances down at her tricorder::  CMO: Looks like it.  :: glances back at the others following them before continuing on.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Merriweather: It's possible...that perhaps the "chaos" introduced by exposure to the radiation somehow interferes with the collection of electrons.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
<aOPS>: Aye, ma'am.  ::Sends a message to the CAG to launch fighters and begin attack::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  MO:  That's the best hypothesis I've heard.  Until now, we haven't had a good idea about why the anomalies do what they do.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Good eyes... makes for a good surgeon.  :: makes her way cautiously toward the opening.::
Host TO_Smith says:
::Fires phasers and forward photon torpedoes at the incoming interceptors.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::ties in the impulse power to the shields, attempt to augment the shields::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Merriweather: I'm not sure though whether the free radicals produced by the radiation simple post additional targets that are absorbed in place of the electrons, or if they somehow damage the anomalies themselves, decreasing their effectiveness....or something else entirely.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
FCO: Continue evasive maneuver beta 2.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Yes, well...  ::Turns a bit red, and is all the more glad for the helmet he's wearing::  Do you think it's worth checking out?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
<FCO>: CO: Aye, ma'am. ::with a press of a few buttons begins evasive maneuver beta 2.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Watch your step.  :: maneuvers around a gap in the flooring.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Sidles around the damaged flooring, making sure to stay well clear of the hole::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Hull, reroute power as you have to to shields.
Host TO_Smith says:
ACTION:  Turning for another attack run as the Claymore begins evasive maneuvers.  The 6 interceptors dodge the incoming phaser fire from the Claymore as they open fire.   As the Claymore's shields light up with enemy fire several photon torpedoes find their mark.  One of the interceptors breaks off the attack and returns to the Wanderer's.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: It leads where we are going.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  I guess that settles that, then.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  No affect Captain, shields now at 73%.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
TO: Status.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: Sorry captain... I am reading an unstable quantum singularity forming.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Keep trying Lieutenant.  I won't lose this battle after all we have been through thus far and surviving our first attack from the Vinii.
Host TO_Smith says:
CO:  One ship was damaged by our last torpedo volley.  5 more still coming in Captain.
Host TO_Smith says:
::Begins to target the next Orion interceptor.::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
TO: Maintain target locks and keep firing.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Being as careful as possible, she stops at the opening in question and shines the light through.::  CMO: Any life signs?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Aye, shunting power from the lower priority systems, re-routing to the shields.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Makes a quick modification to his tricorder settings and scans for life signs, or, for that matter, any heat signatures at all::
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Tries to gather more information.::
Host TO_Smith says:
::Begins to fire on the remaining interceptors.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*EO Ens. Secord*:  Engineering, create a warp bubble around the ship, that might help firming up the shields.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
SO: No sorry necessary.  Just get me whatever information you can.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: It is moving towards the planet from the outer edge of the system.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<EO Ens. Secord> *CEO*:  Aye Sir, initiating a warp field bubble.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Don't see anything.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Maybe too much interference still?
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Sits back a second, suddenly overwhelmed::
Host TO_Smith says:
ACTION:  Off in the distance the Wanderer-Class Vessels open fire in conjunction with the 5 interceptors.  The port shields buckle from the attack and several hull fractures emerge.  The warp core begins to fluxuate as the explosions from the outer hull penetrate the engineering section of the ship.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Could be....
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::paces a bit and stops once again in front of her chair.::  SO: Any more good news?  What is the estimated time before it makes contact with the planet?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: glances back::  CMO: Shall we?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Well, we're here.  ::Shrugs and motions they should continue::
Host TO_Smith says:
CO: Captain weapon systems are offline.  ::Begins to franticly push buttons to reroute power.::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant be warned there is an unstable quantum singularity forming and it is moving towards the planet.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Taking a deep breath, drops down, not quite hearing the captain.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Looks up at the doctor::  CMO: Did you catch that?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, Main Engineering is damaged, warp core is fluxuating, outer hull breech in ME.
SO_Archimedes says:
CO: ETA five minutes.  The away team would have no time to return.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Can you give me more power to weapons?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CMO:  Yes, I did.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Checks on automatic force fields, signals to evacuate Main Engineering, damage control parties alerted for damage control::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
SO: Understood.  ::raises an eyebrow again::
Host TO_Smith says:
CO:  Captain the Interceptors are making another pass.  Shields down to 50% and our port shield is completely collapsed.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*CSO*: Lieutenant it would appear the singularity will affect the planet in 5 minutes.  It doesn't give us enough time to get you back to the ship.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: What did she say?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain we are in trouble, damage control parties are on their way to main engineering, outer hull breech deck 15.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
*MO*: Doctor have a medical team head to Main Engineering we have several wounded in engineering and more on other decks.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Looks up momentarily:: Merriweather: All I can figure at this point is to either flood the patients with electrons, so as to maintain their balance...or to try positron treatment, hoping to funnel enough positrons into whatever is at the other end of those anomalies to cause and explosion and destroy it...
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Well, I mean...I couldn't necessarily...make out what it said, as such.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Taps her ear piece:: CMO: I cannot read her at all.  :: Nods ahead::  I am picking up faint life signs.  Air is breathable as well as a warmer temperature... warmer as in 3 degrees Celsius.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Looks at the others::  All: Go on or go back?
Host TO_Smith says:
ACTION:  The Orion interceptors begin their attack run on the crippled Claymore.  They open fire with all weapons.  The force slams against the Claymore pitching her hard to port.  Plasma begins to vent from the starboard nacelle.  Internal dampeners give way throwing crewmen to the deck.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  I'm for moving in that direction, then.  Can you make out any of the lifesigns, so far as races, or stability?
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Have teams evacuate deck 15 and shut it down.
Host TO_Smith says:
::Tries to hold on to the console, but gets thrown over against the turbo lift doors.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Bites her lip a moment, then nods briskly, speaking neutrally:: *CO*: Aye, Captain. We're on our way.  ::Signals to Merriweather and Sren::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Losing her footing falls slamming into the deck under the main viewer.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: No... and I am going to leave that to you.  I get to play guard here.  So if something runs out screaming, I am going to duck and let you deal with it.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Isaac is thrown to the bridge floor plates after the impact of the last attack::  CO:  They are enroute, warp core shutdown sequence has been initiated.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  MO:  I'll get the medkits.  ::Runs for the equipment room::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Pushes herself up off the floor, looking around at the others.  She didn't know how much more they could take.::  CEO: Understood.
SO_Archimedes says:
:: Gathering what information he can, he sends it out attached to an emergency call to Starfleet.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Takes a deep breath, then speaks affably::  CSO:  Well, if that's how it's going to be... ::Smiles to Senn as he steps past her, raising his tricorder and using his hand beacon to light the way down the hall::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
Söderström: Raise Sokov, van Kampen, and Amica; have them see to the other decks. Merriweather, Sren and I will take Engineering. Have Rhyxx and O'Shea help you prep sickbay.  ::Grabs her personal medkit and makes for the door::
Host TO_Smith says:
ACTION:  As the Claymore drifts in space on her port side the interceptors slow for a brief moment in time their weapons begin to light up.  A second later two of the interceptors explode in a vast green shower of disruptor fire.  The Rhenal passes within meters of the Claymore before taking a position between the interceptors and the Claymore.
Host TO_Smith says:
COM:  USS Claymore this is the Romulan Vessel Rhenal.  I am Commander Delvok.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Reroutes additional power from the impulse engines to the main EPS power grid, closes magnetic constrictors to the m/ara to stop plasma venting from the starboard nacelle
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather> ::Tosses a medkit to Sren and follows Raeyld out::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Walking close to him, considers and pulls out her phaser.::  CMO: I am concerned about what the captain was saying.  I hope she was just having us check in.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::Leaning down to help someone up she hears the comm::  COM: Rhenal: This is Captain T'Shara it is good to hear your voice.  We are in bad shape as I'm sure you can tell.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO: I assume it was just checking in at regular intervals...I'm sure they realize that, at this point, there's little to no chance they'll cut through the interference.  ::Continues ahead, slowly::  There's a lot of people down there.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::brushing her hair away from her face, tucking it behind her ear.  She straightens her uniform and looks around at the others sensing the relief that the Rhenal is there to help.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Briskly enters the nearest turbolift with her team:: Turbolift: Main engineering.
Host Cmdr_Delvok says:
ACTION:  The Claymore's fighters begin their attack on the remaining interceptors.   In a last ditch effort the Wanderer Class vessels unleash another huge volley of weapon fire towards the planet before warping out of the system.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Starts moving a bit more quickly, knowing that time may well be of the essence::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ ::Stops:: CMO: There are?  How many?  And I hope they are ours.  :: starts walking, a bit more quickly, but still carefully.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, the starboard nacelle has been breeched, we were venting plasma before the core was shutdown.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Around...one hundred twenty, I'm showing.  ::Pauses::  I hope they're ours, too.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Are we still venting plasma Lieutenant?
Host Cmdr_Delvok says:
ACTION:  Deep with in the Tau Kata VI the away team see a massive cavern opening in front of them.  Light can be seen near the other side of the cavern.  Then in a thunder of weapons fire the cavern shakes.  Pieces of rock and debris fall from the cavern roof onto all those in the area.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<CPO_Söderström>  ::Has the computer notify Doctor Sokov as well as Nurses van Kampen and Amica that they are to form a team and see to casualties on decks other than Main Engineering;  summons Rhyxx and O'Shea from other pursuits to gather the main ward together for treatment of other patients::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Exits the turbolift on Deck 15, just outside of engineering, and quickly surveys the scene::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Her brief moment of wonder and gladness at seeing the others is quickly dosed as rocks come tumbling down.  Falling to the floor, she rolls against the wall, covering her head instinctively::
Host Cmdr_Delvok says:
COM:  USS Claymore:  T'Shara?  Commander T'Shara?   It is an honor to meet up with you again comma.... Captain.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  ::checks the panel::  Yes, Captain, venting has stopped.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Dives to the ground, inching his way back toward Senn as he's pelted with debris::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Spots Ensign Secord nearby with the look about him of one in charge.  Signals to him her presence, then moves immediately to the area where the engineers have already triaged the most critically wounded::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
COM: Delvok: Aye, the same.  It is an honor to meet up with you again as well I just wish under better circumstances.  We thought you were lost.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Understood and good work Lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
<EO Secord>: MO:  Lt. Raeyld, glad to see you, the most critical have been set aside ::points to the area in the corridor::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ All:  Is everyone okay?  ::Turns a bit as the rain of dust seems to have ceased::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: As everything goes suddenly silent around her, she looks up to see the doctor near by.::  CMO: Are you alright?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Using her hand to wipe the dust from the plate of her helmet, she stands and looks around at the others with them.::  All: Status.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  Seem to be okay.  ::Starts to stand, not bothering to dust off the suit::  I'm more worried about the survivors.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Have your teams begin repairs immediately.  Make sure any injured see Doctor Raeyld as well.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*All Decks*:  Report damage to the CEO.
Host Cmdr_Delvok says:
COM USS Claymore:  We are more or less in one piece.  Begins to cough.  Our power grid is almost completely gone.  We have been holding off continued attacks in this area.  All our efforts to recover the Nantahala's crew have failed.  I'm afraid that of the 1400 crew I'm down to 200.
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::As she opens her tricorder to scan the most seriously injured:: Secord: Excellent work.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Aye Captain, are you alright?  
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: As everyone reports they are fine she turns to the doctor.::  CMO: Let us go find out.  Though I sure as hell would like to know what caused that disturbance.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Takes out his tricorder again and scans out toward the other side of the cavern::  CSO:  ...Certainly didn't seem like a seismic event.... ::Shakes his head::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ CSO:  We should get over there.  ::Taps a button on his suit so that he's not speaking solely through the combadge anymore::  Aloud:  Can anyone over there hear me?  ::Shines his hand beacon in that direction::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ CMO: Which makes me even more concerned about what the captain might have been trying to tell us.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Starts moving toward the other end of the cavern, toward the light::  CSO:  Me too.
Host Cptn_Cumberland says:
@::Looks up from the dust at the light coming from across the cavern.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@aOPS: Take a man and go back and see if our exit is secure or if we will need the enhancers.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
COM: Delvok: Acknowledged.  With what we have seen in the area you have had your work cut out for you.  We have an away team on the surface as we speak in search for the Nantahala crew.  Hopefully they will have some luck.   We will work together with our ships and see what we can do.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Turns off her light as she enters a brightened area and smiles at the site of familiar uniforms.::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::turns to the CEO, noticing a big gash in her right shoulder not even feeling the pain as the blood runs down.:: CEO: I will be fine.  How are you holding up?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*EO Secord*: Ensign, when our injured have been attended to, meet me outside Main Engineering with all who remain fit for duty, we will begin a triage of the ship herself.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@  ::Smiles as well, if a bit wearily::  CSO:  We should get those pattern enhancers set up immediately to see if we can get these people out of here.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Scans the group for someone in charge ad spies the pips of a captain.  Tentatively::  Cptn: Captain Cumberland?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, please sit down :: amazed at the wound and amount of bleeding::  I'll be fine Captain.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: I'm sure you heard.  The Rhenal's power grid is almost completely gone.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*MO*:  Medical Emergency to the bridge, the Captain has been injured.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Motions the aFCO to start setting up.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Staunches the internal and external bleed of those officers with the most severe broken bones, then marks the rest of the crewmen stable for transport to sickbay for proper treatment of their burns::
Host Cptn_Cumberland says:
<Delvok> COM: USS_Claymore:  Captain I am in no condition to continue my command of the Rhenal.  Some kind of sickness has come over my crew.  Since I know I can trust you captain I am transferring my command of the Rhenal over to you.  I present you with the D'Deridex Class Warship Rhenal Captain.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Takes out a medkit, begins treating the Captain's wound with a dermal regenerator::  CO:  Yes, Ma'am, we are both in a sorry state of affairs ::grins::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Taps her combadge:: *CEO*: Understood. On my way.  ::Turns to Merriweather:: Merriweather: See to the transport of all injured to sickbay, then turn their care over to Sokov once he has returned.
Host Cptn_Cumberland says:
@:;Tries to stand.::  CSO:  Yes I'm still here I think.  ::coughs some of the dust out of her lungs and stands.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Glances over the scene once more, then stands and returns to the turbolift:: Turbolift: Bridge.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
<PO_Merriweather>  MO:  Right away.  ::Steps over to triage those they haven't seen to yet::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: steps closer::  Cumberland:  Sorry about the interesting entrance.  We have no idea what caused it.  I am Lieutenant Senn and this is doctor Welland.  Hopefully we are here to get you safely out.  And we are very glad to see you.
Host Cptn_Cumberland says:
<Delvok>:  COM: USS Claymore:  It was good seeing you again T'Shara.  ::Falls to the floor before the view screen goes blank.::
MO_Lt_Raeyld says:
::Arrives at bridge level and exits the turbolift, looking carefully for the Captain...sees the Romulan officer upon the view screen, and Hull treating the Captain, and pauses to process:;
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Stops the Captain's wound from bleeding any further, leaves well enough alone until Lt. Raeyld arrives::  CO:  That should keep you from going into shock until the Doctor arrives.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ ::Nods once as he is introduced, waiting for some sort of update before randomly diving into the survivors with his medkit opened::
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: I'm fine Lieutenant.  We have more important things to worry about.  ::takes a seat::  ::almost shows a grin as she looks at him::  CEO: Aye, but we are still here to tell about it and will give us something to talk about for years to come.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
MO:  Ah, Doctor Raeyld, I've stopped the bleeding, she had no pain from the wound, was totally unaware of it.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ Cumberland: For those who need immediate medical attention, Dr. Welland will proceed, just show him the way.  Meanwhile, we brought transport enhancers and should have them set up soon.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  That we do Captain, as soon as the smoke clears, we'll get to work on putting the pieces back.
Host Cptn_Cumberland says:
@ CSO/CMO:  Not half as glad as we are to see you.  We are the last survivors of the USS Nantahala.  Did the Rhenal make it to safety?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@ :: Looks at the doctor and back at the captain::  Cumberland: We have no idea, sir.  They were not in the area upon our arrival.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
COM: Delvok: I am honored that you have such trust in me.  I would like you to speak to our medical staff about the sickness that has come over your crew perhaps we can help.  They are in the process of treating a sickness that has taken over the Carangue crew as well who are aboard the Claymore.
Host Cptn_Cumberland says:
@CSO/CMO:  Sounds like a good plan Lieutenant.  Most of the crew has some kind of infection.  Those here have a combination of environmental damage, crash damage and the infection.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
::watches as her friend falls to the floor::  COM: Delvok: It was good seeing you as.....
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
@CMO: Doc, see what you can do to get those that need it prepared.  I will go check on the enhancers.
Host CO_Cptn_TShara says:
CEO: Thank you Lieutenant :: stands as she sees Delvok fall::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
@ Cumberland:  We're all too aware of the ramifications of the infection, I'm afraid....
Host Cptn_Cumberland says:
