Let The Die be Cast! - Mission 6 - 11208.07

Summary:  Hours had passed with a Breen Battle Group close by.  The crew of the Claymore was tense, but working hard to get the ship ready for more guests.  It would be a cramped ship until they got back to Deep Space 3.

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

aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steps out of the Read Room and onto the bridge:: *All" Senior Staff to the Bridge.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Looks up at Raeyld's announcement.  How convenient, here I be::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<MOPS LtJG Gulash>  ::Turns at the sound of Raeyld's voice, but checks back to his console at Mission Operations; his relative boredom has caused him to remain on the Bridge just on the off chance something worth his time happens::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::At primary tactical, giving his subordinates a modicum of downtime while he mans the bridge::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Looks up and puts the PADD down finally, on the CTO desk, before exiting the CTO office, then the tactical office, in search of the nearest turbolift::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Finishes up disassembling the deuterium refinery in cargo bay two, the last bits disappearing into the industrial replicator, as crew begin setting up partitions for emergency quarters.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks around the quarters and with a breath heads for the door.::  Lots off.  ::she says as she exits the room into the corridor::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
aCO:  Captain.  I'm picking up four Breen vessels entering the system.  Two appear to be transport ships, and two are capital ships.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Moves to stand slightly at the CO's chair, but not in it::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Puts down the bland roll he's been trying to eat, offering just a sigh to the message overhead::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::In his office when he hears the message from the captain.  He stands and switches off his computer before heading out for the turbolift.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CTO: Very well.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::He nods to Ensign Watt:: EO Watt: Check on cargo bay one. I'll be back as soon as I can.  ::Moves out of the cargo bay without waiting for an answer::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods in return, offering a small smile::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Enters the turbolift as the doors open::  TL: Bridge.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Enters the lift and orders it to the bridge.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Steps into a turbolift, checking over a PADD. Crews were working on environmental, and re-routing power distribution. As well as setting up quarters in all three cargo bays, and finishing up repairs.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Exits the turbolift and looks out at the bridge, straightening her uniform she heads out.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Steps off the lift onto the bridge still looking at his PADD as he headed for the engineering station, logging on inattentively.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Exits the lift onto the bridge and moves towards his chair.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::With a groan, she looks at the head poking through her bedroom door, one of her temporary roommates.  It takes a moment before she consciously assimilates what he was saying to her.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Mumbling a thanks she tosses the covers off and slides off the bed heading for the washroom.::
CO Capt TShara says:
::Stands in the back of the bridge for the time being::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Polls the computer for the latest damage reports, wondering how the repairs are coming along::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan> ::steps off the Turbolift, heading for Sickbay::

ACTION:  4 large vessels make their way across the system coming to a stop aft of the Claymore

TO Ens Kytides says:
::Enters a turbolift stretches a bit before finally directing the lift::  TL:  Cargo bays.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks to Damrok::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks throughput potential simulations from waste management and environmentals, working the figures in his head::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<MOPS LtJG Gulash>  ::swivels around in his chair, kind of wondering what the hell is going on::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::enters Sickbay::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
aCO:  Captain, the Breen vessels are now at station keeping directly to our aft.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::After having stared into her mirrors for a few minutes, seriously contemplating stepping down as chief, she quickly gets dressed enough to be presentable.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CTO: Please contact the capital ship, let them know we will be ready for personnel transfer at their leisure.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
aOPS: Shields are still down, correct?
OPS Lt Fong says:
<aOPS LtJg Kendal> ::Nods:: aCO: yes ma'am
Tha throt Ayn says:
COMM: USS Claymore: CO:  Captain T'Shara our Transport ships have arrived.  We will begin beaming off our people.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Grabbing something someone kindly hands her to eat as she heads out the door, she makes it the lift and orders it to the bridge.  And then munches on what she has no idea.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
COM: Tha Throt: Acknolwedged. We are ready.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<RH Ens Ra>  ::At the helm, feeling just a tad anxious at the mention of Breen ships; he's heard stories in the past about them, but never been this close::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Still munching, she steps off the lift and heads for her empty station and stares at it a moment before she remembers most of her people are off duty at the moment.::

ACTION:  Claymore internal sensors pick up Breen Transporter signals.  Breen life signs begin to leave the Claymore.

TO Ens Kytides says:
::Takes a moment before the turbolift opens to rub at his eyes and attempt to get his expression to resemble something besides grim discomfort, before exiting the lift and leaning on the wall next to it, staring and waiting::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Taking her seat, she logs in.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
aCO:  Transport has begun, Captain.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Shoots a grin at the CSO, then mimics looking at wrist chrono::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CTO: Please continue to see to the prisoner transfer.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Remains standing at the back of the bridge listening and watching for now.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: Attention.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Turns around.in her chair to look at Raeyld.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Stands and snaps to attention probably more accurately then he has in several years::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::Wanders around for a moment, looking for Davis, and marveling at the lack of attention in Sickbay::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Can't even get out the "Aye, Sir" before he's forced to snap his head up, at attention, as Raeyld calls for it::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Was just about to sit down when the captain calls them to attention, he turns to her and stands at attention.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slowly, deliberately:: All: Several months ago, an unknown vessel caused the destruction of the NX Visby, and expressed the general desire to see all the Federation destroyed, before disappearing into the frontier.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: Nine weeks ago, we battled a factor of Romulan forces - not sanctioned by their government in their work - at Chrontium III. Here we lost many lives, include, it was thought Commander Davis, before those renegade Romulan forces escaped the system, leaving us to pick up the pieces at Chrontium.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: Although we were unaware of it at the time, the renegade Romulan faction moved  into Breen space, meeting and making a deal there with a radical Breen faction of the Breen government. This faction, currently at war with its own government, brokered a deal with the renegade Romulans.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: The Romulan faction would provide weapons and supplies necessary to the Breen's faction's battle against its own people, and the Breen faction would provide the Romulan faction civilian Breen as slave labor and a stripe of territory through Breen space, giving them access from the backlines of Breen through to the front line of Federation space - a new Romulan Neutral Zone back by the Breen.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: Additionally, to make matters worse, while the Breen have been struggling against this racial Breen faction, they have also fought a war to the far north - against the very species believed to be behind the destruction of the Visby.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: These people, the Romulan and Breen factions intended to broker a peace with...they, and their express late to the Federation border, and to Deep Space Three.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Pauses to glance about the bridge once::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: Several weeks ago, Captain T'Shara met with and brokered a deal with Tha Throt Ayn. We would provide them assistance in retaking their world "given" by the Breen radicals, complete with  slaves, to the renegade Romulan.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: We would take extreme care with our presence while in their space, to avoid looking the aggressor. We would take into safety their civilians made into slave, and we would wait...getting ourselves into no fights but with the Romulans who never belonged there in the first place.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: Upon the arrival of Tha Throt's Ayn's fleet, any existing Romulan renegades fleeing the system....ceased to exist. And upon reviewing our agreement with the Tha Throt, we have confirmed with them our original deal.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: As we speak, over 700 Federation citizens and over 200 Cardassian "Prisoners of War," are being beamed aboard the Claymore, and in exchange, the Breen slaves earlier rescue are being transferred to their own vessels.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: In a few weeks, a Federation ambassador will arrive in, and be welcomed to, Breen space, where talk will begin to strengthen the relationship between our peoples. Tha Throt's Ayn will permit us free passage out of his space by his forces.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<MOPS LtJG Gulash> ::Stifles a yawn::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: We have, in short, prevented a grave danger to the Federation - a radical Breen fronted chunnel from an unknown enemy wishing our destruction leading to a fresh Romulan neutralize at the back of Federation lines.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::Finally happens upon the private rooms, and pushes the chime on the first one::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: You have done well today. However you may feel, however Starfleet sees us, we secured a vital protection for the Federation as we know it.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: ....When we have finished here, we will set course for the Thro Tal system, to recover our crew there. Then Captain T'Shara and I will report to Admiral Cosgrave.  Until then, you have your orders.  Retain radio silence, remain vigilant.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
All: Thank you.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Hears the chime in his room::  Door: Enter.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Suddenly, and rather quickly, starts toward the ready room, with just enough of a nod to Damrok that he's to continue::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Says nothing, keeping her face neutral and as much as possible her thoughts.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Nods to Raeyld attempting to catch her eye wordlessly::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at Raeyld with a slight smile and nod::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Turning around, she looks at her console, the various lights flashing and telemetry flowing across her various screens.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Looks around the bridge as the captain finished her speech and headed off the bridge, trying to gauge everyone's reactions.::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Watches as Callahan enters::  LA: Ensign Callahan...it's been a while.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods slightly as she passes the last feet in her barely-not-running flight to the Ready Room doors, and passes inside::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Turns back thoughtfully to his console...  lots to absorb in that speech::

ACTION:  Sensors indicate all Breen are removed from the Claymore.

XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::Nods::  XO: It's good to see you, Commander Davis. I trust you're feeling a little better...?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Sighs slightly and resumes his station::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Shrugs a little from his seat::  LA: Better than a few days ago, I guess.
Tha throt Ayn says:
COMM: USS Claymore: CO: Captain T'Shara we will begin transporting your personnel.  Please provide transport coordinates.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Trying very hard not to yawn, she also tries to assimilate the information.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
<aOPS LtJg Kendal> CO/CTO: The Breen are requesting beam in coordinates.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::Smiles a bit, and approaches the bed now that the ice is broken a little; he wasn't sure what to expect when he made his way down to Sickbay, with the scuttlebutt ranging from "He's still dead" to "He does triple backflips from bed"::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Kendal:  Begin with Cargo Bay 2.  The medical facilities are already in place.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
OPS Kendal: Send initial coordinates for the flight deck so we can begin processing personnel and their identifications.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::draws his head forward, revealing a PADD::  XO: I needed to get your signature on a few legal documents pertaining to your...situation.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Eyes the pad, but looks back to Callahan as he says situation::  LA: "Situation"...?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks at the closed door then turns his head back to the console beginning the process of bringing the atmosphere back up to standard in Cargo Bay 3::
OPS Lt Fong says:
<aOPS LtJg Kendal> ::Prepares to send the coordinates to cargo bay 2 when the Captain interrupts:: CTO: Sir?
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::clears his throat::  XO: Well, you see sir, you're dead.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Sighs as she finishes counting the number of Breen ship, but says nothing as she knows Damrok is aware and that is his expertise.::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::Points to the PADD::  XO: I mean, legally...of course you're not -actually- dead, as you're right here.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Moves over to Sci 1 and takes a seat.  Speaking quietly::  CSO:  Well...  that was quite the story.   What do you think?
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Nods slowly, finally taking the PADD from him and reviewing it; it seems to contain his latest medical records and scans, as well as recent ship's logs that document the events that have transpired over the last few days::  LA: So, what would you like me to do?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Turns to look over at Sky::  CAG:  Well... on one hand it makes my conscious feel better about disobeying the Admiral's orders.  But I still have issues with killing those people on the station, Romulan or not.
Tha throt Ayn says:
@::Continues to wait on the Claymore.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Nods::  CSO:  I know.  But I think more were killed by the Breen then we did.  I gotta tell ya, sis.  I think we did the right thing here.  ::Shrugs::  It's kinda up in the air what Cosgrave is going to think, not to mention the rest of the Admiralty.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  XO: In order for me to submit the documents so your personnel file can be adjusted and..."reactivated"...you should read these documents carefully and sign your approval.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks to T'Shara a moment, then back down to Kendal::  Kendal:  ...Flight deck.  ::Looks back down to his console, continuing to read damage reports::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CAG:  That is oh so true... I sometimes wonder if there is poster with our ship that someone fills in with black as we ummm... do interesting things not by the book.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Continues reading through the various documents::
OPS Lt Fong says:
<aOPS LtJg Kendal>::sends the Breen the coordinates for the flight deck, then signals medical and security that the guests will be arriving on the flight deck.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Ensures the Ready Room doors are not set to auto-enter::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Turns and heads for the turbolift.  She enters::  TL: Flight deck
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Laughs quietly::  CSO:  My one advantage as a Cadet....  they'd have to make me a civilian if we've really ticked off the upper mucky-mucks.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CAG:  I am command... there are many things one could do with me, including finding another CSO.

ACTION:  Breen signal the Claymore that they will begin teleporting shortly.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Leans back::  CAG:  Which does have some merit.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Finishes with his reading, and stands straight, locking the console and calling for a relief officer...he makes his way down into the command area and has a seat in the center chair::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Looks surprised::  CSO:  What?  Why do you say that?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Exits the turbolift and onto the flight deck, looking around.::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Completes reading through and fingerprints the screen, offering his biosignature::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Which part?  The transferring me or the not too bad of an idea?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
<DCAG> ::Deputy CAG Warren notices the CO and moves over:: CO:  May I help you, ma'am?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CSO:  The part where you would give up CSO or transfer or all of the above.

ACTION:  Claymore Personnel rush around the Flight Deck.  Several Portable biobeds are set up, a few dozen small security computers are set up to help ID incoming personnel.

XO Cmdr Davis says:
<PL FL Tain>  ::wanders up beside Warren::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Verifies that the engineering and operations departments can handle themselves on their own for a few minutes then, he stands quietly and moves to the door to the captain's ready room, pressing the chime once::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Turns to Warren::  DCAG: No I am just waiting on the personnel to be transported from the Breen.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Hands the PADD back to Callahan::  LA: This is all you needed?

ACTION: The Breen begin to teleport the first group of Federation Citizens.

aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::*OPS* ...who...?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CAG:  I would not exactly say I have been the good officer from the Claymore or now the Federation point of view.  And I will admit, I am tired.  Just tired.  It would be nice to go on a simple science vessel and just be a scientist and raise my daughter.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::nods, graciously taking the PADD back::  XO: Yes, sir. See, you're listed as KIA, so you technically can't return to duty in the computer. Once we file these documents, the only thing that will be holding you back is any medical clearance that the staff here may require.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
<DCAG>  CO:  Understood.  If you need anything, just yell.  ::Moves off to attend to one of a hundred details::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<PL FL Tain>  ::Looks around, waiting not out of necessity but out of just general curiosity::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sits, looking rather grim, particularly in light of his usually sunny disposition, his elbow planted firmly on the armrest of the chair, and his chin resting on his palm::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps commbadge::  *aCO*: First of the Federation citizens have been beamed aboard.  I will start helping with processing down here on the flight deck.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Speaking quietly:: *aCO*: Me.
aCO Cmdr  Raeyld says:
*CO*: ...good.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Looks at Senn with some concern::  CSO:  This doesn't really sound like you.  Just don't make a decision out of exhaustion or frustration.  You might look at things differently after some sleep.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Nods::  LA: I understand, Ensign. Do me one favor.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
Doors: Enter.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  XO: What's that, sir?
CO Capt TShara says:
::Nods to Warren and makes her way over to the incoming personnel::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Sits up a little before giving Callahan a pointed look::  LA: File that right now. I want to get the hell out of this room and back to my life as soon as possible.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Steps in and waits for the door to close behind him, his expression calm:: aCO: Serena?
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::smiles, holding the PADD up::  XO: Consider it done, sir.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Peers out of the corner of his eyes at Fong as he approaches the ready room...thinks about saying something, inferring Raeyld might like to be left alone after she breezed off the bridge...but minds his own business::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Turns to Damrok.::  CTO:  I think I should head down head down to the flight deck and see what I can do to help as the prisoners are beamed aboard.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<LA Ens Callahan>  ::turns and exits quickly for his office to send the documents on, after one final check::

ACTION:  As the first group materializes on the Flight Deck they look around almost confused at where they are.  Two of the citizens fall to the deck floor.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Sighs::  CAG:  Yea, I know better.   But not all of this is within my control.  ::Taps a command onto her console::  What about you?
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<PL FL Tain>  ::Races over to one of the fallen citizens, checking for a pulse instinctively::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<PL FL Tain>  ::Is pushed out of the way by medical staffers as they seem to come from nowhere::
XO Cmdr Davis says:
::Stares at the roll::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sits up::  CNS:  I was just about to recommend the same, counselor.  I'd join you, but...it's probably best I remain on the bridge, for the time being.  ::Smiles slightly::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CSO:  What about me what?  ::Smiles, both with irony and a touch of bitterness::  I'm too junior to be held responsible for anything other than following the orders of the multitude of senior officers present.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Nods to the commander before getting up and heading for the lift.::  Computer:  Flight Deck.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Not visible from a stander in the room, though the slightest rustle can heard behind a desk cleared strewn of any fiddlynacks it might'be held before::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: Hello I am Captain T'Shara.  You are now safely aboard the USS Claymore.  We will get you medical treatment and processed and then moved to temporary quarters.  Please be patient as we get to everyone.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Though the fact we did offer crew to disembark may yet play into the roll of those who stayed aboard.  ::Leans toward him a bit.::  Why the bitterness?

ACTION:  The next batch materialize on the flight deck.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Shrugs::  CSO:  Let's talk off the bridge, sis.
XO Cmdr Davis says:
<PL FL Tain>  ::Watches as more people appear on the flight deck, which just moments ago was its usual barren self::
CSO LtCmd Senn says:
CAG:  I would offer dinner... or is it lunch time, but my quarters are being shared with others.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Once again tries to help as each group arrives reassuring them that they are safe and we will get to each of them and see to their medical needs.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Exits the lift and enters the flight deck seeing the a few groups of prisoners have already been transported over.  Taking a deep breath to prepare himself he heads in to see where he can help.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Moves to the side of the desk and sits on the floor with his back to it not saying anything, letting Serena say what she needed to, otherwise just there to listen::
