Summary:  As the Cargo Shuttle makes ready on the flight deck the Claymore's bridge crew prepares to engage the rogue asteroids within the Ipecce System.
Host SMDrew says:
*************** Resume Mission ******************
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Looking over the tactical console while waiting for further instructions::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: At her station, searching for a possible flight path for the shuttle down to the surface once they hit the atmosphere.::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::in the cargo shuttle, having just completed the last of the preflight checks, sets systems to launch standby::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::In the turbolift, being hurtled without incident toward the Flight Deck::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Sits in her chair in the center of the bridge::  CSO: Status report on that flight path Lieutenant?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  Still working on it, captain.  I have yet to master commanding the weather... though I think it would be a nice talent.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::already in the Flight Deck, determined to depart in 37 minutes or less::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Inputs the current data into the computer to give her a forecast of the current winds and force.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Fiddles with her medkit a moment as the doors slide open. She drops the kit closure and strides quickly down the corridor, entering the Flight Deck and looking around::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::finishes securing the crate of transport enhancers in the shuttle's large cargo area, than goes for an emergency towel supply::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Misses the humor::  CSO: Aye, that would be a nice talent indeed Lieutenant and make our life a bit easier.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
<FT_PO2_O'Reily> ::notices Davis out of the corner of his eye, and gestures towards the shuttle, which has been conveniently positioned closest to the launch doors:: XO: You'll be taking off in that one, commander. She's all prepped and ready.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  FT: Thank you, Petty Officer.  ::Drifts off towards the cargo shuttle::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of mischief... :: smiles and then turns around::  I believe I have a flight path that will be smoother then it might be... it will still be a bit bumpy.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::at tactical on the bridge beside the CMO:: CMO: Phasers are set to low power and full auto-targeting support...perfect for rookies during drills. When we're in range of the first target, you'll line up the shot using the visual touch interface on the console. I've simplified the interface for you, so there should be no doubt what does what.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Spots Davis, and approaches him:: XO: Sir. ::Nods::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::walks up to the shuttle and sees Davis and Raeyld::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Arrives on the bridge per Captain's orders, reroutes Engineering control to the bridge::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods to Hull as he enters the bridge::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
MO: Ready for some fun and excitement, Commander?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CTO:  When will I know when we're in range?  ::Looks over the monitor and the blips thereupon, which represent asteroids::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::offers a faint grin as he approaches the craft::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, Engineering control now rerouted through the bridge
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::stacks the crate of towels in the shuttle's cargo bay, than turns and goes for the box of emergency rations::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
<FT_PO2_O'Reily> ::nods once as the last of the techs finish up with their end of the checks... the chief among them signals to Williams inside, while O'Reily motions to Davis:: XO: You should be clear, sir.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Route that information to Commander Davis and Ensign Williams once they are on board the shuttle.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances across the deck a moment, her eyes resting ever-so-slightly upon Williams, Fong, and finally Niventra, then looks back::  XO: Oh, sure.   ::Seems to possibly share the humor, or just possibly deadpanned, hard to tell::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO: What, precisely, is our mission?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Acknowledged Commander.  What's the status on the platform repairs?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  All operational, simple overloads and relay burnouts...would have been caught during normal preventive maintenance, had they done so
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns to Senn once more::  CSO: Well they can't expect a perfect ride down given the circumstances.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Downloads the data and sends it to the shuttles onboard computer for them to find.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::withdraws a PADD from his uniform::  MO: We'll be making contact with the colony and seeing to provisions and other supplies.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: The target symbols will change color from yellow to red. Reds are within range of phasers and tractor beams. Yellows and reds are targetable by torpedoes.
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::nods:: XO/MO: There will be a lot of children there... 450 of them.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods, glancing to Niventra as she questions Davis once more:: XO: Any safety concerns we should be aware of?   Will we be landing in a location sheltered from the radiation?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: chuckles lightly::  CO:  No, but they might hope for it.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::begins to bring power systems online, and readies for an immediate liftoff... he nods as the coordinates come in, and sends an acknowledgement back to the bridge::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::overhears something:: Self: Children? This day gets better and better.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CTO:   I see.  And to select a target I just...?  ::Lays a finger on the targeting reticule on the graphical interface::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::gestures towards the cargo shuttle::  MO: As far as the landing is concerned, you'd have to ask Mr. Williams. My understanding was that many, if not all, the colonists were underground, or somehow out of trouble.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Understood.  Logically speaking they don't possess the means to do routine maintenance is that what you are thinking Commander?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO/CNS: When do we board?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Targeting information goes blank from the main viewscreen.  All data collected on the asteroids are lost.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::secures the last of the shuttle's cargo, than looks around somewhat disturbed at the idea of going down to the planet, and leaving the 'safety' of the claymore::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods:: CSO: I think that is a given Lieutenant but they will have to make do.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Aye Captain, so I'm glad we happened along, to help those poor colonists and their broken down satellites
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
MO: As soon as possible.  ::moves to board the shuttle::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances to Niventra with a small, somewhat timid smile, then turns to follow Davis aboard the shuttle::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
<FP_Ltjg_Cerna> ::pokes her head out of flight control, shaking her head a little:: All: Nielsen! You're now 15 minutes late with that diagnostic. Move, your, bloody, rear!
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Aye, Commander.  But, how long do you think the repairs will hold?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::follows the doctor's hands:: CMO: You got it. Now, we're almost in range. Let's try some objectives before graduating you to full power fire... ::sees the data on the asteroids drop off:: CO: Captain, the system just dumped all sensor data from the targeting scanners.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Hearing the CTO turns back to her sensors.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::arrives on the Bridge and immediately heads to Mission Operations, activating the console::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::follows Davis and Raeyld on board the shuttle::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Lurches back from the tactical console, raising an eyebrow in stunned silence::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Should last another 25 years, that is the mean time to failure anyways
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::steps back out of the way as the XO, MO, and CNS board the shuttle::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::watches as everyone slowly files aboard, then taps at a control to bring the hatch down once everyone who's going aboard is aboard::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Everything still status quo, she looks back over at the pair at tactical.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Nods to Fong:: OPS: Ensign...     ::Settles into a seat, leaning back semi-comfortably::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::heads towards the front, staying out of Williams's way but wanting to be close to the action, such as it is::  CAG: Ready?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns and looks over at Tactical::  CTO: Can you get it back Commander?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Something catching her eyes, she turns back to one of her screens and taps a few commands.::  Odd....
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: It wasn't your fault, doctor. Computer: Conduct a level-5 diagnostic on the targeting sensor pallets.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Adjusts sensors on the planet.::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::a simple nod, he signals flight control for launch clearance::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::double checks the hatch, than finds himself a lovely seat back near the cargo::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Lieutenant are you having issues with your sensors?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::adjusts console to receive information directly from the shuttle and from the away team so he can monitor their situation at all times::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
<Computer> CTO: Working...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: shakes her head::  CO:  No... sensors are fine... I still have the asteroids on my sensors... but there is something about the planet that is not reading right... give me a sec.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Understood Commander.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*CO*: Captain, we're about to depart. I'll get back in touch once we have a better idea of what the colony may need beyond the standard provisions we're bringing.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Resumes a rather stiff posture::  CTO:  Yes, well...I find it difficult to believe it was a coincidence....  ::Quiets, wishing to stay out of the way until the matter is resolved::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Pulls up the colonies previous records and does a comparison.::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::receiving the acknowledgement, he watches the bay doors open:: XO: Clearance issued. Will lift off when ordered. ::short, to the point, but strictly to protocol::
Host SMDrew says:
<Computer> CTO:  All targeting systems are within Starfleet parameters.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  Ok... I am not sure what is going on here... unless there is something wrong with my sensors... but if there is, that would not account for the oddity.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, not wanting to wait an hour and a half to run this all by the captain::  CAG: Proceed.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*XO*: Acknowledged Commander.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::enters another sequence of commands, and lifts the shuttle off the deck, turning it for the bay doors and easing it out on thrusters::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands from her chair and walks over to the science console to take a better look::  CSO: What oddity Lieutenant?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::hears the result, wishing he could logically call the computer a liar:: CO: I still have interface control, but I cannot recover targeting data on the asteroids. I'll have to borrow some of the science sensors and reprogram them for tactical operation.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Turns towards the other team members::  CNS/MO/OPS: Any other questions that I probably won't be able to answer?
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::as the craft eases its way through the open doors, he switches to impulse power and inputs a relatively direct course to the coordinates given him by Senn::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Does another scan for verification and gets the same results.::  CO:  Captain, I don't know if this is a problem or not.  :: turns around to look at her.::  Earlier I told you I had picked up 1500 life form readings.  That complies with Starfleet records.  However, according to records, the colonists were all humans.  I am also reading Cardassian
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO/CSO: Aye, work with Senn on the asteroid data so you can begin target and destroy.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::doesn’t ask his burning question::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns back to check her facts and then back around::  CO:  According to this, there are 1000 humans, 450 cardassian children and 50 Cardassian adults.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The cargo shuttle glides through the rear doors of the Claymore.  Targeting computers come online and tract the vessel firing all phasers at 1/1000th power at the ship.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO: Tempting...but no.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the mention of Cardassians::  CSO: How many Lieutenant?
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  500 total... 450 being children.  You might want to contact the planetary government and get the correct facts.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CTO:  I'll...keep clear and let you work.  ::Takes a step back, folding his arms::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::changes his mind:: XO: Why exactly am I on this mission, sir?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::was about to touch his console when the ship began attacking the shuttle:: CO: Captain, phasers are firing at the away team's shuttle automatically! I'm attempting to shut down the arrays. ::begins entering his override codes::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  MOPS: Contact the planet immediately.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::gestures::  OPS: The token Ferengi. Next question?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::grunts, wondering why the guy in charge of the away team is doing someone else's job; then he realizes that's what he always does::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::instruments sound alerts, and he checks, and then rechecks, his readings:: XO: Our ship is shooting at us, commander. ::applies a little more power to the impulse engines in an attempt to lessen the time they're in range::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances toward the front:: XO: ...Why are they shooting at us?  ::Experiences the strangest sense of reverse dejavu::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSO:  Sensors are operating within normal parameters Lieutenant, a level 2 diagnostic was run prior to entering orbit
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash> ::initiates a hail to the colony::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::quickly turns around::  CTO: What is going on over there Commander first sensors now automatic firing?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::sits quietly, all her senses on the task at hand::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::frowns::  MO: I haven't the foggiest, but as you well know I'm usually the absolute last person to find out anything here.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO:  Aye, though still not what I want, I agree... I do not see anything out of the ordinary with them.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: Commander, I can't shut the phaser arrays down! Kill the capacitors, now!
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSO:  Perhaps it is the planet itself or the area of space that we are in
Host SMDrew says:
<Councilman_Ruther>: COM: USS Claymore:  This is Councilman Ruther.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CTO:  That's...that's not good.  It can be corr--  ::Immediately quiets again, remembering himself and not wishing to interrupt::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Strangely calm, just nods, processing this:: XO: Ah. All right, then.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Commander, I want a full report on why the systems at tactical are malfunctioning.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO:  We will find out soon enough, chief.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Nods, keying the proper programming into the engineering console::  CTO:  Done Commander
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Councilman Ruther: Councilman this is Captain T'Shara.  I am seeking clarification on the colonist all Starfleet data shows that all colonist are human but our current scans are reading otherwise.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::not particularly wanting to have a whole lot more of the paint taken off the rear end of their shuttle, he adjusts their attitude just enough that the majority of the low intensity beam can be avoided::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::looks around the shuttle, completely not comfortable with the smallness of it, and how close the big black cold nothingness::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  All phasers on the Claymore go to standby.  Computer systems continue to tract the cargo shuttle and attempt to switch to photon torpedoes
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: turns around to listen, curious.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO: ..All right...Next question.  Do we have shields?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::watches intently as the shuttle rotates and maneuvers away from the Claymore::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::a curious expression comes across his face, as if he just thought of something that hadn't been considered before::  MO: I don't have one of my own, no...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CTO:  That's...that's even worse.  We should....  CO/CTO:  We need to warn the shuttlecraft.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
*Security*:  Initiate full security sweep of the ship from stem to stern! Order the armory staff to disarm all torpedo launchers immediately and find out what the hell is going on with the phasers and targeting sensors.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks at Davis, long and hard::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: glances over at tactical as she catches the order be given.::
Host SMDrew says:
<Councilman_Ruther>: COM: USS Claymore: Captain T'Shara.  Yes your sensor data is correct Captain.  We have a very unique situation here, but it is something I can not discuss over an open communications line.  I will explain the details to your team once they arrive.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO/MOPS: Aye, notify the shuttle immediately of our situation.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CTO:  Commander, phasers are on standby, but the targeting scanners are still tracking the cargo shuttle, photo torpedoes are being attempted to go on-line, attempting shutdown on the tubes
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::finally realizes she's still looking at her::  MO: What?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Forward torpedoes fire at the cargo shuttle.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO/CEO: I want the weapons offline immediately.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Overhears Ruther and turns to the viewscreen (hopefully off frame) and raises an eyebrow again, confused::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO/CAG: Can we raise shields?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Starts to look perhaps a bit concerned::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
All: Now, our ship is firing torpedoes at us. ::moves to put up the shields, and automatically begins an evasive pattern::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The two torpedoes turn as they exit the torpedoe tubes and lock on to the cargo shuttle.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MOPS:  Tell the shuttle to take evasive action!
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  COM: Ensign Williams, go evasive...incoming torpedo!
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Watches Davis carefully now::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Photons have fired, attempting autodestruct order
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::eyes go wide at the sight of the twinkling red bolt of death, and immediately attempts to jam the guidance systems on the warhead and shut it down remotely:: 
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::brings the shuttle's weapons online, and attempts to lock onto the torpedoes::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::overhears the comm come in and scrambles towards the console in front of him::
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
XO/MO: This is not good... 
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CTO:  Can we target the torpedoes with phasers?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Councilman Ruther: Unique situation?  Why would you falsify information Councilman?
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Walks up to the secondary tactical console, glancing to Kizlev every few seconds in case he's needed::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
XO: Were I you, commander, I would simply hold on. This may be... slightly less smoothe than forecast.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Looks around for a place for them to 'hide'.  Curses under her breath as there is nothing near by.::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: Phasers are offline. Too late for that.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Turns to face the main viewer and watches, wondering what is going on::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::manages to get the jist of what is going on.:: Self: I should have slept in today.  Stayed in bed until tomorrow::
Host SMDrew says:
<Councilman_Ruther>: COM: USS Claymore:  Captain I assure you I have not falsified any data.  We are here by order of Starfleet Medical.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Frowns, and falls silent again, just waiting::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Attempts autodestruct again::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Quickly begins to pull up the computer commands, scanning through them, looking for a virus.::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO/CAG: If we attempt to land now, will they continue to fire upon us on the surface?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO/CTO:  No response for auto destruct order
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::jabs at a control, and spins the shuttle into a sideways roll, bringing the aft phasers in line with the torpedoes... when they're in range, he fires on full::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
MO: It's hard to say. There's got to be some sort of targeting glitch or whatever...why else would this happen?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Both torpedoes move within 1000 meters of the shuttle then explode as the autodestruct commands are transmitted.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Sighs with relief, releasing his subconsciously held breath::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
Himself:  Whew!  
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Enough going on on the ship not really wanting to deal with a possible misinformation or trap at this point::  COM: Councilman Ruther:  If you didn't falsify information Councilman then why do Starfleet records show all humans on the colony and yet you have 500 cardassians?
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO/CTO:  Autodestruct confirmed
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: hearing the sighs of relief in the background, she keeps looking for the problem.::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Pauses...::: CEO:  Chief, I am reading all ship functions normal, nothing wrong with the computers themselves.  However, ... there was a tactical upgrade that looks a bit suspect.  You might want to take a look at it.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The cargo shuttle is rocked to the port side as the torpedoes explode.  Internal dampeners struggle with the forces as the shuttle is pushed into the planets upper atmosphere on her side.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: What's the status of the shuttle? Sensors aren't giving me data on it. CMO: Doctor, we may have casualties coming in.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::returns to the Bridge, somewhat concerned looking....ish::  CO: Are we firing on our own shuttle?
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::is thrown from his seat, bounces off Davis's seat and very nearly lands in Raeyld's lap::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Taps his combadge, then leans forward, planting his palms in the empty spaces between consoles::  *Amica*:  Welland to Amica...prepare a team for casualties.  I'll keep you posted in a moment.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: scans the shuttle for damage.::
Host SMDrew says:
<Councilman_Ruther>: COM: USS Claymore: Captain I am sorry I am not at liberty to explain from here.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks at Senn at the mention of an upgrade and back at Hull::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::bounces off of Williams as is, in fact, thrown right on top of Raeyld::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
MOPS:  As soon as you're able and they can respond, I need word from the shuttlecraft on possible injuries.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Tossed about her seat a little, but mostly held in place by Williams landing across her legs and Davis across her lap::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CTO:  I'm reading hull intact, internal dampeners are having difficulty keeping up with the planet's gravitational pull, the shuttle is entering the planet's upper atmosphere
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::discovers a non-standard version of the phrase 'down' when his head impacts something fairly solid::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMC: Aye, Matthews that seems to be the case at this point.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::grumbles again and immediately tries to patch through to the shuttle::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  Captain... the shuttle is still in one piece, but it is about to hit the atmosphere at an odd angle.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSO:  Upload the data to my console, I'll have a look
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Forward torpedo tubes reload as does the forward torpedo pod.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  CO: Oh, well that's good.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Councilman Ruther: That is not what I wanted to hear Councilman.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Reaches out naturally to grab Niventra's arm to keep her from flying far::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Clears her throat slightly:: XO/CAG:  ...You gentlemen make excellent safety harnesses, thank you.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
aFCO: Helm, intercept course on the shuttle. Get us to within transporter range.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Reading the Eng1 console, he notices that the forward torpedo tubes are in the process of reloading::  Himself:  Bogus Trot!  
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns slightly and taps a few commands, sending the information she has to the CEO::  CEO:  On its way, chief.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::attempts rather unsuccessfully to peal himself off of Raeyld, eventually managing to do so, and scrambles back to his console:: All: Attitude control is offline! Attempting to compensate!
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances at Matthews and then back at the screen.  No time to deal with his attitude::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::struggles to get back to his seat, his body contorted from the explosion's results::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain!  the forward torpedo tubes are reloading!
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Turns to Matthews::  CMC:  Not on purpose, Chief.  There's some malfunction, possibly in the software.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::slams the console::  COM: Shuttle: Gulash to Away Team, come in!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CO:  Suggest we beam them back aboard if they are unable to right themselves soon... they will burn up, ignoring being tossed by the storm below.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::smiles broadly, if not fakely::  CMO: Even better!
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Can you take them off line?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The shuttles hull begins to glow as it passes through the atmosphere.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
MOPS: can you get a transporter lock on them Lieutenant?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
*Armory*: I said get those launchers empty! I swear that heads will roll if any lives on that away team are lost!
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  ::Mumbles::  Self: No doubt an office responsible for all this..
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Agreed Lieutenant.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances across the shuttle, finding Williams and Davis to be all right, what with being cushioned, but Fong upon the deck.  Jumps to her feet and kneels beside him:: OPS: Ensign...Ensign, are you all right?   ::Flips open her tricorder::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::touches the window to his right, activating the transporter signal status::   CO: Checking.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
*Mr. Secord*:  Take the EPS off-line to the forward torpedo tubes, they are reloading by themselves!
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Gets a lock on the Away team::  CO:  I have a lock... hull temperature climbing.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::furiously works at his controls, trying to get the shuttle at least relatively stable:: All: Helm is just slightly less than responsive.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::finally scrapes back to his seat--sort of::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Working on it Captain
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: Forget the launchers. Shut down the entire inventory of warheads. I've pulled up the full list on your console.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Not good enough Commander I want all weapons disabled now until we have answers.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>   ::Growls loudly::  CO: I cannot establish a lock. There's something blocking my attempts...interference of some sort.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
*XO*:  Can you right the shuttle or shall I beam you back now before the storm can cause possible issues?
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::opens his eyes and looks at the MO kinda bleary:: MO: I'll get back to you on that one...::notices that the situation is not over:: MO: SIT DOWN, and strap in.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Claymore's weapons go off-line as the shuttle disappears from sensors.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
<Mr. Secord> CEO:  Commander, EPS is off-line, primary and secondary, I've even pulled the batteries
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: loudly::  Damn...
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
MOPS: Can you clear it up?  We need them out of there now.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: turns around::  CO:  I have lost the shuttle from sensors.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Wraps her arm through Fong's pulling him to the seat with her, and glances for Niventra::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CTO:  Aye, working on the warheads ::Brings up the inventory, and begins inactivating the warheads::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::gets an idea, and glances briefly at the group:: All: Find something to hold onto. Now. ::a slight pause:: Consider it a strong suggestion.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: Through sheer will and skill Williams begins to get the shuttle under control.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  ::attempts to focus the transporter scanners on each comm signal individually::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: swiftly returns, refining sensors in the area she last recorded them, taking into account their trajectory entering the atmosphere and the storm.::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::pulls himself onto what he hopes is an open seat, with the MO and gives her a look, than finds the straps, and starts trying to strap her in::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
MOPS: Do you still have the shuttle on sensors?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CMC_MCPO_Matthews>  CO/CMO: Can we use a tractor to stabilize the shuttle?
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::with one final maneuver, all but throws the shuttle back into an upright position, then slams on the breaks so as not to end up on the planet in what would be their last blaze of glory.. quite literally::
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Looks to the console::  All:  They've disappeared from targeting sensors.  Weapons are back offline.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
OPS: ...Mr. Fong--
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: sighs with relief::  CO:  I have them back on sensors.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::As the computer begins inactivating the photon warheads in inventory, Isaac reviews the new module programming for the tactical upgrade::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMC: They are to far into the atmosphere tractors can't reach them.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances at Marcus and over to the captain::  CO:  Apparently only on my sensors.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::is having problems with the straps, but doesn’t give up, not worrying about them:: MO: We're not out of this yet.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The shuttle pulls up from its dive into the planets surface clipping the tops off several evergreen trees.  Helm control of the shuttle quickly returns to normal.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MOPS_LtJG_Gulash>  CO: I have what appears to be the shuttle, but the interference seems like its getting worse.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
::Reviewing the code line by line, it is obviously different syntax from the rest of the tactical program::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits there beside OPS, considerably distressed and anxious, strapped into the seat::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Turns back::  CO:  It would appear they have pulled themselves up... it will be a rough landing still.  I cannot get a lock.  Storms are interfering.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::feels considerably more ill than he did before they left::  CAG: Right.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CAG: Don't do that again.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Takes a deep breath, clearing out some stress::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
MOPS: See if you can clear it up.  Work with Science since they seem to have the only working sensors at this point.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSO:  Senn, I see this, there are about 50 lines that are definitely different from the rest of the program, I'm not sure what it is meant to do at the moment
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
XO: At least we're in one piece...
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO:  If Kizlev cannot decipher it, I will try my hand at it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::half-turns::  CNS: I think I'd rather be dead than have that series of sensations over again.
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::looks at his hand and wonders a bit where the blood came from, than puts it out of his mind and manages to strap himself in::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
XO: I will make an effort to do so. ::pauses, then shakes his head:: Now, to relocate our landing coordinates. And, perhaps, not be introduced to them on the end of another torpedo.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*Amica*:  Adjust back down to hot standby.  Looks like the shuttle is in the clear.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
::absolutely hates losing control of anything, especially his weapons:: All: Somebody has to answer for this. I need to know exactly why we lost control of ship's weapons.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  *CMO*:  Right, Sir.  What happened up there, anyway?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Takes a series of deep breaths, attempting to control her mounting anxiety, trying to ward off a panic attack::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, I see what this is, it sort of mimics the EMH program, this is sort of a ETR, Emergency Tactical Routine, should the bridge be incapacitated, the ETR would automatically take over and fire torpedoes and phasers at attacking ships
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
::laughs:: XO: You don't mean that-- ::looks at Raeyld, concerned:: MO: Doctor? Remember to breathe...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
*Amica*:  Beats me...but I have a feeling I should remain in my office from now on.
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
<CWO_Amica>  *CMO*:  Right, Sir...Amica out.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::getting the shuttle to a more manageable speed, he switches the shuttle to atmospheric thrusters and readies it for final approach::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO:  I hardly call 'running' from a ship, attacking us.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Is there anyway you can correct the problem?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::about to further engage Niventra, he focuses his attention to Raeyld at the remark::  MO: You OK, Doctor?
CNS_LtJG_Niventra says:
XO: She's having a panic attack... ::puts her hand on her shoulder:: 
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSO:  Aye, don't kill the messenger, I didn't write the thing ya know <grins>
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CEO: ETR...? I was never briefed on such an addition to the tactical software. Who authorized and installed this 'enhancement'?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Lightning flashes outside the shuttle windows as they make there way to the landing zone.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Were you aware of such a program Commander?
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO/CNS: Just...fine.    ::Continues breathing carefully, staying just under that anxiety-episode level::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
CEO:  Obviously there is a glitch...  :: frowns::  I could try my hand at debugging it... assuming that was the issue and not a poorly written program.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Aye Captain, I might be able to comment the additional lines out of the program
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::  MO: Hang in there. Do you have anything with you that might help, or something that can be replicated even?
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: Not at all, sir. If I was, I would have had it purged from the system. There's already enough fail safes in our weapon systems as it is.
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::running a scan of their landing coordinates as the shuttle draws closer, still slowing so as to not bounce them off the ceiling any more than has already happened::
OPS_Ens_Fong says:
::watches the room swim a little:: XO: I'm fine too thanks for...::discovers that the shuttle is very dark as he passes out::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Softly:: XO: I'm fine. I'm--
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: See what you can do Commander.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSO:  Let's do both, you start debugging, I'll comment the lines out so we can return to normal tactical operations
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Fong quickly::  OPS: Shut up
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::At the mercifully delivered pretense of seeing to Fong, suddenly between tearing away at the restraints strapping her into place, removing them in record speed and pulling her tricorder out of her kit::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Nods as she turns to go through the commands, debugging not one of her favorite jobs.::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::easily, gently, expertly settles the shuttle down at their prearranged coordinates, and begins the power down process::
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: So there you have a slightly above average day on the bridge, doctor...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
::Shakes his head::  CTO:  They should charge admission.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Aye, Commander.  Work with Hull as needed on what you might need with or without that program.  Also, contact DS3 and find out who felt the need for such an upgrade.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: as a light she had set flashes, she nods and glances over her shoulder.::  CO:  Shuttle has landed, not far from the original coordinates.
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Gently rests her fingers on Fong's neck to check his pulse manually, and taps through her tricorder, before dropping it and reaching into her kit::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As the shuttle sets down large doors in the cliff side open.  Several men stand in the door taking some shelter from the rain as they wait for the shuttle.
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CO: With pleasure, captain. ::feels the need to raise his voice something terrible on an unsuspecting OPS ensign at DS3::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Glances over at the CEO, teasingly::  CO:  Captain, engineers would go mad if they were not able to do upgrades.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, I've removed the suspect code, program is back on-line, level 2 diagnostic running against a baseline I took 6 months ago
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Pulls out a hypospray and presses it to Fong's shoulder:: To Anyone Listening: Concussion, bleeding...
CMO_LtCmdr_Welland says:
CTO:  I think I'll step away for the time being, then, and let you get down to business.  ::Nods once to Kizlev and walks back over toward the center seating area::
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: Getting an idea of the code used, she pulls up the data on the program.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CSO: Well I think our engineer would disagree with as busy as we keep him and his team.  ::glances at Hull briefly::
CAG_Ens_Williams says:
::inwardly, notes the extent of Fong's injuries as Raeyld lists them off, but outwardly, observes:: XO: Our welcoming committee. ::pulls up a visual of their guests in the doorway::
MO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Removes a deep tissue regenerator and aims it with precision at the deep cut near the Ferengi's aortic equivalent:: Fong: Ensign...I need you to stay awake here.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CEO: Understood let me know immediately your results.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CSO: Aye, I would easily get bored with nothing to do
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CAG: Just hang on a moment. Let's see if we can unjack Fong before we get this going.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hull says:
CEO:  Aye Captain!
CTO_Cmdr_Kizlev says:
CMO: We will get you training on these systems very soon, doctor. I promise.
CSO_Lt_Senn says:
:: smiles at Hulls comment as she knows the chief is usually busy::
Host SMDrew says:
