Summary – The Captain and her team have been able to clear the Array room of the Romulans.  After a short time regrouping and checking on the injured, the Captain, XO, and CNS are moving up the corridor the Romulans had come from.  There was a brief flurry of weapons fire as they moved forward then all is quiet again.  The CTO, TO, and OPS are staying in the Array room to help the wounded and secure the room.  Meanwhile the CMO’s team was able to bring the Jarrow to the surface only to be attacked by a group of Romulan Scorpions.  After a brief firefight and some good flying by the SO they were able to defeat the scorpions only to have the thruster go dead.  The Jarrow is planet bound with a dead stick.

Time Lapse --  none.

Where Have all the Marbles Gone? - Mission 31 - 11202.14

Summary:  The Array room was cleared of Romulans and now the team looks at searching down the corridor.  While the Jarrow is quickly moving through the thermal venting trying to find a way to the surface.

***************** Resume Mission *****************

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Takes a look at his tricorder, searching for any untagged life signs::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Keeping a close eye on sensors and the rising temperatures.... and for the exit out.::
OPS LT Fong says:
::Kneeling over the broken form of a Romulan who had the unfortunate luck to be only half disintegrated, then shakes his head and closes the man's eyes, before moving to another of the injured::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Focused on the flying...  and keeping an ear open for directions::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Her hand now shifted from the back of the pilot's chair to the shoulder of the pilot himself, hunched slightly as she keeps one eye on the forward window and another on the sensors::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Sitting off the side of the cavern, having taken a minute or two just to rest after the action::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Looking around at the signs of their resent battle, taking close note on how the crew is reacting.::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Looks around at the bodies and the scorched consoles, finds Davis off to the side and walks over taking a seat next to him.::

@ACTION:  The magma and water from the lake mix causing local tremors though the small thermal vent.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Shifts her focus to the sensors, looking for some clue to the time until they surface, as well as checking their distance from the practically-explosive water behind them.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@CMO/SO:  I believe I have the exit on sensors... I am hoping it is the exit.  It is about five kilometers away.
OPS LT Fong says:
::Wipes the green blood off on his pants and kneels next to another badly mangled Romulan, checking for pulse or respiration.::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CSO:  Direction?
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Stands by Damrok, waiting, rifle now slung back over his shoulder though his hand phaser is still out::
Belaon says:
@::Looks out the front window.::  All:  I remember this being a lot shorter the last time I was down here.
Tac CPO Rizer says:
::Clears his throat as he approaches Foster again::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Turns when he hears someone clear his throat and sees Rizer approaching him.::

ACTION:  All is quiet from the other side of the room.  No further Romulans enter the room.

TAC LtJG Krag says:
::Approaches Davis, sweating mightily with the action and all the running around from the past 15 minutes and beyond::  XO: Commander.
TAC CPO Rizer says:
::Smiles a bit at Foster::  CNS: How you doing, Ensign?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@Balaon:  How long ago was that?
OPS LT Fong says:
::Shakes his head and looks around, moving to the nearest injured tactical crew::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Lifts his head, then immediately grabs his neck as an awkward cramp acts up before he can adjust his head and back::  TAC: Lieutenant?
Belaon says:
@<Belaon> ::Thinks about the question.::  CSO:  It’s been a good 200 or so years since I was down here.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Approaches Davis and the captain, awaiting further instructions::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Raises an eyebrow at Senn's comment, then returns her attention to sensors::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Looks over at Davis, laying her rifle next to her briefly::  XO: Commander.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Smiles a bit shakily.::  Rizer:  I'm ok just not quite how I pictured my first meeting with the crew or my first assignment as a Counselor.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Shifts between T'Shara and Krag, then stands and waits for whatever T'Shara's business is to clear::  CO: Captain.
CO Capt TShara says:
::Glances up to see Damrok approach.  She could now inform them both of their next move.::
TAC LtJG Krag says:
::Snaps to attention::  CO: Captain.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@SO: Smooth ride...

@ACTION:  The magma begins to erupt with more force from the water.  The corridor behind the Jarrow is now completely blocked by magma which is begining to speed up from the pressure.

SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  ::Grins::  Want I should fix that?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Frowns as she considers... does that mean whatever happened to these people, it extended their life span or was that the norm?::
TAC CPO Rizer says:
::Kicks a rock::  CNS: Yea, I don't think this is how any of us thought this might pan out, but life out in this nick of the woods is rarely what you expect, ya know?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ All: Temperature increasing...
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Looks at Sky::  SO:  Little brother, I really do not want to be crustacean food.
CNS Ens Foster says:
Rizer:  Yeah, life aboard a starship never seems to go the way you think it will.  Just haven't been on a ship in 6 years now, guess I'm just not used to it anymore, I'll get there.

@ACTION:  The aft hull begins to glow from the increased heat.

TAC CPO Rizer says:
::Eyes open a bit in surprise, and he turns directly towards Foster::  CNS: Six years!? What the hell have you been doing all this time?
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Glances at the sensors and frowns::  CMO/CSO:  It looks like the corridor behind us is sealing up....  and....  the magma is catching up with us.  Recommend we increase speed...  now.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::With a brief flicker of a smile:: SO: Not necessarily... But we should be able to take a small beating if necessary, to get us through. Increase speed.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Hand hovering over throttle::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Takes a breath, placing her hand on her rifle and putting it over her shoulder and to her side.  Nods to Krag::  XO/CTO: We will split into three teams.  Davis you will lead scouting party one.  I will lead a second scouting party as we make our way through the corridor.  Make sure your team is equipped with disintegrators.  
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  Acknowledged.   ::Increases to 3/4 thrusters::
CNS Ens Foster says:
Rizer:  I served my first time as an enlisted.  Six years ago I lost someone, someone very close to me, after that I took a leave of absence then went back to the academy to change careers once I got my head on straight again.
CO Capt TShara says:
CTO: You and a group of 73 tactical officers will stay behind to secure this area.  Once we have scouted ahead and made sure it’s secure we will contact you to move out.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Draws a deep breath, pufting it through her lips....Racing away from one destruction and straight into the arms of another:: CSO: ....Commander Senn, can you get any telemetry on the surface? And how much of a holographic shield will we be able to raise once we've surfaced.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Understood.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Inhales::
TAC CPO Rizer says:
::His look of surprise turns instantly to delight with one word::  CNS: Enlisted man, eh?  ::offers a friendly pat on the back::  My kinda officer then!
TAC CPO Rizer says:
CNS: Sorry to hear about the loss, though. Glad you're back in the fleet and at it again.
CSO LtCmdR Senn says:
@ All:  Shields holding...

@ACTION:  A planet tremor rips through the corridor.  Rocks from the ceiling above fall in front of the Jarrow’s path.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Shifts into the copilot's seat::  CSO: Also, focus as much of shield power to aft as possible, while maintaining minimal forward shields.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Stretches out slightly before slowly heading toward the gathering of officers, sighing under his breath as he realizes the rock he'd been entertaining himself with is all the way back at the entrance, not that he'll need it anymore::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Exhales and nods to T'Shara::
OPS LT Fong says:
::Kneels next to an injured Bolian ensign and gently pries his hand away from a torso slice to his abdomen, the blue blood tacky and dark against the pale blue of his hands.::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Stands, straightening her dusty uniform::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Grabs onto the console:: SO: Evasive!   CSO: Belay that!

@ACTION:  The Jarrow now at 3/4 thrusters slowly pulls away from the magma.  For now...

SO Ens Hawk says:
@::As the rocks begin to fall, jerks the Jarrow from side to side violently to avoid the largest ones::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Begins walking towards the corridor, then stops and hesitates before looking at Krag::  TAC: Get your men ready to move.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Gasps as she grabs onto the console to keep from being flung to the floor.::

@ACTION:  The Jarrow dodges some of the larger rocks as the smaller ones break apart against the shields.

OPS LT Fong says:
::Pulls a dermal regenerator from the medical kit as he scans for foreign debris in the man's body with a robotic calmness::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Smiles at Rizer's reaction.::  Rizer:  Yeah I'm one of those officer, know what it’s like to be at the bottom rung.  ::Smile slips a bit as he thinks of his Jeyne.::  I still miss her but figured it was time to get back out here.
TAC LtJG Krag says:
::Nods, although deep down inside he's not overly enthused to be trudging around more in these caverns::  XO: Yes sir.
TAC LtJG Krag says:
::Turns and jogs towards his squads::
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud:  Impulse engines are reaching max temperature.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
  @::Seemingly steady for the moment, she releases her death grip on the Jarrow's copilot's console:: 
  SO/CSO: Everyone all right?   ::Begins checking the computer for damage reports::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Seeing a large rock coming down, stands the Jarrow nearly on her side to avoid the rock, then spins over into a hard starboard twist::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Ensign, you're with me.  We'll begin arranging for watch and search patterns in order to set our best possible defense.  ::Begins the process of loading a map of the cavern to his PADD for ease of use::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ ::Mutters::  That is not what I wanted to hear... ::Tries to shift as much power as she dared to compensate.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
All:  At the current speed, you are looking at about twenty-six minutes.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Focused on the flying...  but also with a broad grin on his face::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Walks over towards some of the tactical officers::  TAC: Get your team together we will be heading out.
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud:  Port impulse reactor overload in 28 minutes.  Starboard overload in 26 minutes.
OPS LT Fong says:
::Spots the glint of the piece of shrapnel that did the damage, and nods, the regenerator in his right hand as his left pulls a pair of forceps from his pack and grips the end of the debris, then he glances up at the man.:: TAC: This will hurt.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Brings the Jarrow back to a level plane::

@ACTION:  The corridor begins a slow upward pitch towards, hopefully, the surface.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Falls half out of her seat as Hawk takes the Jarrow into a spin, but at least remains attached at the bottom...Quickly pulls herself upright once more, Senn's and the engineer's reports running through her head::
OPS LT Fong says:
::Yanks the bit free and goes to work stopping the blood flow, and cleaning the wound, while repairing the injury as best he can.::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Walks over to Damrok again::  CTO: I will leave Mr. Fong here with your team so he can continue to aid the fallen Tactical officers.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Sees the ground coming up and tilts the nose up::  CMO/CSO:  Look like we're heading up.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@CSO: Acknowledged.   SO: How quickly do you think you can land this thing once we reach the surface?”
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO/CSO:  Hang on...  it's gonna get steep.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@Holo_Engineer: Priority repairs to starboard impulse reactor. Need that to last at least 28 minutes.
TO Ens Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Glances around as he approaches Damrok, before looking down at the PADD as well::
TAC CPO Griffin says:
::Hears T'Shara, assuming she is in fact the authority figure here and not some random, lost, hesitant Vulcan::  CO: Yes, ma'am!
TAC CPO Griffin says:
::Sharply moves through a sea of tactical officers, calling out instructions as he goes::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Sees the captain appear to be splitting up the crew into teams and not sure where he should be at the moment.:: CO:  Where would you like me captain?
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  I assume you mean in one piece?  If you don't mind a rough ride, pretty damn quick
Holo Engineer says:
@::Looks up from the console.::  CSO:  There is nothing we can do while in flight.  I suggest we reduce velocity to stretch out the reactors.
TAC CPO Rizer says:
::Tags along with Foster, then overhears Griffin and moves in with the other tactical officers, hoping to get in on the action::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@CSO: Do we have margin left between us and the magma behind to reduce velocity and still maintain safe distance?
CO Capt TShara says:
::Nods to Griffin and turns to Ensign Foster as she hears his voice::  CNS: Counselor I was just going to find you.  You are with me we will be heading out shortly.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Sighs and stops what she is doing.::  CMO:  Doc, you heard.  It is the temperatures that are overheating our already damaged reactors.  The suggestion is to slow down.
TAC CPO Griffin says:
::Notices a more seasoned campaigner running towards them::  Rizer: God damn it, Paul. Where the heck have you been!?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Looking at sensors.::  All:  Though we may not have much of a say.  At the moment, the magma's velocity is with us, but the pressure is increasing.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Nods::  CO:  Yes captain.
TAC CPO Rizer says:
Griffin: You know how it is! I'm mad about combat. Let's do it!
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Her hands dance across the console as she works with the damaged equipment.::  All:  ETA, ten minutes.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CSO/CMO:  I'm only at 3/4 thruster power.  We could increase to full if needed.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::With a little more haste, he moves towards the corridor and the assembling tactical teams::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@SO:  The engines cannot handle it.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ All:  You might want to hang on... we may be poped like a cork from a bottle.
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud:  Reactor temperature increasing.    I estimate port reactor shutdown in 12 minutes.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Shakes her head:: CSO/SO: Slow down, the magma fries us. Maintain or increase velocity, impulse reactors go.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CSO:  I bet they can handle it better than our hull can handle the pressure or we can handle the magma.
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud: Starboard reactor will fail in 6 minutes.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  What is your order?
TAC CPO Griffin says:
::Wonders if this guy needs a psych evaluation, but figures he'd rather have a psycho than someone who doesn't really want to be here::  Rizer: Get in the mix. Let's go.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Closes her eyes a moment, then looks back:: CSO: Can you reroute the warp coil coolant through the impulse reactors?  Buy us a little time?
CO Capt TShara says:
CNS: Counselor do you still have your weapon?
TAC LTJG Krag says:
::Nods to Davis::  XO: We're ready when you are, sir.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Glancing at sensors, says urgently::  CMO:  Commander, I recommend we increase speed now.
OPS LT Fong says:
::Checks the time on his tricorder and frowns then stops what he is doing and looks around for a moment, before snapping back to the issue at hand::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Nods in turn, then turns back towards where he left T'Shara::  Krag: Give me a moment, Lieutenant, and we'll kick this pig.
CO Capt TShara says:
::Notices Davis' team is preparing to leave.  Her own team assembling::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Reaches behind his back and grabs the phaser he stuck there.::  CO:  Just the hand phaser.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Shakes her head::  CMO:  At this point, that could cause system wide damage.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Takes a deep breath:: SO: Flip us upside down and increase to as close to full as you can while maintaining our new orientation.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  Understood
CO Capt TShara says:
::Walks over to one of the crates reaching inside and pulls out another rifle, she turns and hands it to Foster::  CNS: Here this might be of more use.  Keep the hand phaser just in case.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@All: Strap in.
TAC CPO Griffin says:
::Directs his men to the right of Krag's, then turns towards T'Shara::  CO: Captain T'Shara, we're ready!
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Says nothing as she quickly straps herself in, glad she missed the last meal.::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Takes a deep breath, then rolls the Jarrow over, increasing speed to full thrusters in the roll:
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Since he's otherwise engaged with important matters such as "getting us all not killed," she quickly straps Hawk in, before settling into the copilot's seat and strapping herself in as well, although with extreme discomfort::

@ACTION:  The Jarrow performs a tight barrel role putting the damaged dorsal side towards the corridors ceiling.  From the forward windows a nice view of the magma can be seen.

SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO/CSO:  I know these engines...  they can handle the strain.
CO Capt TShara says:
::Decides it's been long enough so she hurries over to Griffin's team who have assembled next to Davis' team::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@SO:  Unfortunately, I helped put them back together... keep that in mind.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Nods to the captain and takes the rifle, putting the hand phaser back in its holster at the small of his back.::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO/CSO::  Trust me on this.  They can handle it.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Grins::  CMO/CSO:  And if I'm wrong, we won't be around for either or you to harass me about it.  It's a win-win!
CO Capt TShara says:
::Nods to Griffin::  Griffin/XO: Let's move out
TAC CPO Griffin says:
::Waves his men forward::  CO: Yes ma'am.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@SO:  That is what you think... I am sure I will come back just to haunt you.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Despite the threatening hyperventilation (which she's keeping under lock-and-key for now), she grins slightly:: SO: Sounds like your lucky day.
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud:  Impulse reactors are past redline.  Expect shutdown in 3 minutes.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Follows after the captain and the others.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@CMO:  There is a surprise waiting for us when we pop... and not a good one.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Sees the gesture from Griffin, as well as the forward movement of T'Shara, and he waves on his own team::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@CSO: You mean the thousands upon thousands of ground troops? Or the multiple battleships in orbit? Or the half-dozen fighters? Or some other wonderful surprise?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Taps a button a couple of times to get it to work correctly.::  All:  Reading six scorpion fighters near the vent opening.  Looks almost like they are waiting for us.
CO Capt TShara says:
::Secures her rifle her hand ready as she leads the team::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@All:  ETA... two minutes to the vent.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  What do you want me to do when we pop out?  Run?
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud:  Port impulse reactor is overheating.  Reactor breach in 3 minutes.
CO Capt TShara says:
::Makes her way up the corridor, the two teams following::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@SO: Run, and look for someplace to hide.  CSO: Prepare to activate exterior holoemitters the moment we've surfaced. We may not have cloak, but let's make it as difficult to spot us as possible. And look for anything in the nearby surroundings that might provide cover or sensor interference.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Finds a spot about the middle of their team and makes his way up the corridor with the others.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@SO/CSO: We need someplace to, quite literally, cool our engines....preferably without being shot out of the sky by those fighters.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Reduces power flow to the Port reactor and increases the Starboard reactor to 110% to compensate.  Adjust flight trim to compensate for the change in thrust::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Nods as she tries to prepare implementation.::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Advances forward as the point man, his adrenaline starting to kick in and alleviate some of his fatigue::

ACTION:  Small noises can be heard up the dark corridor just beyond the stairs leading up.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ All:  We have forward phasers... and forward phaser cannons.  You are looking at only 60%... but it is better than nothing.

@ACTION:  The corridor pitches up to 90 degrees.

CO Capt TShara says:
::Raising her free hand she motions to stop and points ahead at the small noise::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@CSO: Acknowledged.   Commander, continue to work with our engineer.  I'll handle weapons.  Continue looking for some way to interfere with their sensors and help mask our location.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@:: mutters::  Well we had to go up sometime...
SO Ens Hawk says:
@Whoa!  ::Pitches the nose down hard::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Stops as the others do on the captain’s signal.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Looks at the doc... weapons and doctors do not belong together.  But says nothing.  Then looks back at the holo-engineer.::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Motions for Griffin and one or two of the others to follow her to check it out::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Slaves weapons control to her console, lamenting for a moment the complete lack of any torpedoes due to the faulty launcher, but familiarizes herself with the phaser and phaser cannon controls of the Jarrow::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  Commander...  we can't make orbit, but we have enough thrust to get darn close...  at that altitude, air temp will cool the engines for us.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  We pop out of this hole and head straight up
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Glances up the corridor as the captain moves up.  Trying to see what caused her to stop.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Nods:: SO: Take advantage of the momentum we'll have from the pressure bubble behind us, taking us up as far as you can get us, while Senn nails down the optimal spot to hide.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  Acknowledged
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@CSO: Those fighters, are they atmospheric only, or space worthy as well?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Just stops from rolling her eyes at that idea and instead sighs.::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Slowly makes her way up the corridor, the other three tactical officers next to her.  As they near the top she crouches down, taking the rifle from her shoulder and putting it in her hands.::

@ACTION:  The Jarrow exits the thermal vent corridor into the bright sunlight.  The Jarrows impulse engines blowing black plumes of smoke as they begin to overheat.   Quickly six Romulan scorpion fighters pull in and follow the Jarrow,  Their disruptors begin to fire.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@All:  I don't think I need to tell you we are being followed.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Moves the Jarrow left and right, trying to dodge disruptor bolts, but never losing the upward direction::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@::Works the senors as best as she can as she searches for someplace they can safely head.::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  10k meters and climbing

ACTION:  Disruptor fire begins from down the corridor towards the search parties.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Slaps the comm:: COM: Scorpion fighters: Starfleet vessel Jarrow to Romulan vessels. Please hold your fire and respond, or we'll be forced to return fire.

@ACTION:  The aft section of the Jarrow is pelted with Romulan disruptor fire from the scorpion fighters.

SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  40k meters and climbing.  Thrusters at full.
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud:  Reactor breech in 2 min 26 seconds.
CO Capt TShara says:
::Quickly takes cover, momentarily glancing back out as she returns fire::
OPS LT Fong says:
::Settles his hands on the man's injury and nods to himself that it is as fixed as it can be then he makes a 'go off and play' maneuver with his hands and sits back::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  80k meters and climbing.  Commander, recommend you vent the plasma from the impulse engines...  it will both help cool them and play hell with any fighters behinds us.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@Self: Well, so much for that.    CSO: Vent the plasma.   SO: Can you flip us around, give us a clear shot with forward phasers?  ::Hits the comm again:: COM: Overton: This is the Jarrow. Please respond!
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  Once we vent, I'll pull an Ennelman and ignite the plasma with forward phasers
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Ducks reflexively as weapons fires starts ahead of him::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ All:  Ocean on the left, open plains on the right... mountains ahead about 180 kiliometers ahead.
CO Capt TShara says:
::Takes cover again, pausing before once again returning fire::
SO Ens Hawk says:
@CMO:  Just watch...

@ACTION:  As the Jarrow clears 80k in altitude the bottom of 4 Romulan Warbirds can be seen in the distance.

ACTION:  The disruptor fire falls silent.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ All:  Just as a side note, the Jarrow cannot handle another swim like the last one.
SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Levels off the Jarrow, giving the fighters time to do the same.  Then vents the plasma from the impulse engines.   Gives it a two count, then puts the Jarrow in a tight loop.  Coming around fires a phaser blast in the plasma, then rolls hard to starboard::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ All:  Four Romulan Warbirds ahead.

@ACTION:  The Jarrow vents plasma from both impulse reactors.  The Romulan fighters follow the Jarrow and into the plasma....

CO Capt TShara says:
::Listens as everything goes quiet.  She knows that can't be good as she quietly looks up from her corner on the steps::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
@::Not even fazed anymore, she just nods::   CSO: Find a source of sensor interference again?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
@ CMO:  Nothing yet... keep in mind, nothing on this ship is at max... :: Looks teasingly at Sky as she includes him into that comment. Then turns back to try something else.::

@ACTION:  As the Jarrow loops around and fires its forward phasers the plasma ignites.  The fighters instantly explode from the burning death from above.

SO Ens Hawk says:
@::Quickly throttles back thruster to 1/2 power...  trying to nurse them on just a little bit longer...  like the whole landing thingy::
Holo Engineer says:
@Outloud:  Reactors are cooling.  ::Pauses.::  Wait.  ::Runs his hands over the controls.::   Port and starboard reactors just went offline....

@ACTION:  Quickly the Jarrow becomes a dead stick as it begins to fall towards the planet......

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
