Let The Die be Cast! - Mission 11 - 11209.11

Summary:  Three weeks have passed and the Tribunal is set to give their report.  Word has spread through Deep Space 3 that Admiral William Crenshaw's flag ship has docked only a few minutes before the Tribunal is to assemble.  0745 and the media have already gathered in the large court room….

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

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Puts the final touches on his dress uniform, then moves out into the common area to wait the last few minutes before the proceedings::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Paces back and forth in one of the back rooms.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Quietly steps to the same chair in which she'd been led each day for the past twenty days, looking somewhat the worse for wear, but mostly collected, with a hint of resign::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Steps out into the common area tugging uncomfortably at his dress uniform.:
Colonel Stiegler says:
Cosgrave:  You ready for this?  ::Watching Cosgrave pace while sitting on the corner of a desk.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Quietly steps to the chair she had been seated at since they arrived.  Today was the final day.  Glancing at Raeyld::  CMO: Are you ready?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
Stiegler:  No.  Unless we hear from Smyth soon all we have is a bunch of nothing.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Notices the CNS and moves in his direction::  CNS:  You ready for this Counselor?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Just nods slightly to T'Shara, not really trusting opening her mouth at this point::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Turns as he hears Hawk.::  CAG:  As I'll ever be.  ::Glances at the clock.::  Guess we better get going.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Glances at the clock as well::  CNS:  Yeah...  I'd thought we'd all go together...  show of unity and all that, but...  ::Shrugs::  After you.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods her head in return.  She knew what this was taking out of Raeyld, for that matter both of them.  But, it would all be over soon enough one way or another.::
Colonel Stiegler says:
::Nods.::  Cosgrave: Seems to be the jist of it.  But if anyone can dig up intel its Smyth.

ACTION:  Media begin to file into the court room.  The two from rows of seating being reserved for the Claymore crew.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Standing still in his duty uniform, with his hands behind his back, towards the rear of court room, his security escort standing behind him and to his right.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Nods.::  CAG:  Not a bad idea.  ::Turns and heads for operations, and whatever lies ahead for them.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Makes her way into the tribunal, just catching up with Sky and Theron.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::In operations level three, sitting in The Room in the Claymore's reserved seating, his arms folded over his chest...more than anything, he looks eager to get on with things, but otherwise does not seem ill-at-ease or put out::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Starts to follow the CNS, then sees the CSO and waves her over::  CSO:  Catch up!  Probably be considered bad form for us to walk in late.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Returns to pacing after looking briefly at the blank monitor.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Exhales deeply as she struggles to keep her gaze uniformly steadied directly in front of her::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CAG:  Then what is the form if we don't show?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CSO:  Suicidal
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears people start to enter, she sits with her legs crossed, hands in her lap,  watching forward and waiting for the Admirals to arrive::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Folds his right leg over his left, and relaxes his posture in his seat, reaching with his left hand to smooth out a barely perceptible wrinkle in his black pants...he lifts his eyes, but not his head, and takes a cursory glance around the room::
Admiral Harlan says:
::Checks her PADD looking over last minute details before the Tribunal moves into the Court Martial phase.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CAG:  If we are kept locked up much longer that is what I will be also.  ::Quietly enters the room, really annoyed to see the room full of media.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Pauses as they enter the room seeing all of the media and people, before moving with the others toward their reserved seating.::
Admiral Harlan says:
::Picks up a small beeping device and reads the text displayed.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Nods toward the chairs where the board will be sitting::  CSO:  You won't have to...  we have a board of volunteers to do that for you.  ::Moves over to take a seat near the back::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Tries to ignore the media as well as her brother as they watched them enter.  She really did not like being so... exposed.::
Colonel Stiegler says:
::Looks at the display.::  Cosgrave:  Sorry gravy looks like it’s time to go in.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Looks over to the display.::  Outloud:  Damn her.  ::Nods as he picks up a few PADDS from the desk.::  Let’s head in.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::As she takes a seat, bitter memories return of the last time she found herself in such a room.  Only that time, the captain had been her brother.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Takes a seat with the others and fights the urge to slump into his chair, instead sits straight in spite of all the eyes on them.::
DS3 Security Officer says:
Outloud:  All rise.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Stands::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Stands from her chair hollowly::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Quickly stands back up.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Was already standing, and so remains standing in the out of the way alcove near the back wall.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Stands::

ACTION:  From two different doors Admiral Harlan, Kenzin, Abis, Cosgrave, Yart, Golin and Colonel Stiegler enter the room.  They move in behind the large desk and remain standing.

Admiral Crenshaw says:
::Enters the room last and move to take the center seat.::
Admiral Crensahw says:
::Looks at the empty chair.::
Admiral Smyth says:
::Runs in from the door and takes her position behind the table.::
Admiral Crenshaw says:
Outloud:  You may be seated.

ACTION:  The Admirals take their seat.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sits back down, resting his hands comfortably in his lap, both feet on the floor, and leans back in his seat::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Sits down with the rest::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Settles back into her seat the same, keeping her gaze trained only upon the admirals, unable to really face any of the crew::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes her seat, crossing her legs once again and resting her hands in her lap::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Sits back down and leans forward::
Admiral Crenshaw says:
::Looks over one of the PADDs.::  Outloud:  Has the Tribunal reached a decision?
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Sits back down.::
Admiral Harlan says:
::Stands.:: Crenshaw:  Yes sir we have.
Admiral Harlan says:
::Passes the PADD to Admiral Crenshaw.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Stands.::  Crenshaw:  Before we read the verdict I would like to make a statement.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Looks past Harlan at Smyth.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Remains standing as the seats are pretty much all taken anyhow his hands remain behind his back where his security guard can see them::
Admiral Smyth says:
::Smiles an uneasy looking smile and gives a slight nod.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at Cosgrave, wondering what more he could possible say at this point.  But, quietly waits and listens::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Draws his phaser.  Pointing it directly at Admiral Harlan.::  Crenshaw:  I believe this entire tribunal was a cover-up for something much more sinister.  I think Admiral Harlan can explain.
Admiral Crenshaw says:
Cosgrave:  Admiral Cosgrave what the hell are you doing.  Put the phaser down.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Starts to rise to his feet at the sight of the phaser, then catches himself::
Admiral Harlan says:
::Stands very still.::  Outloud:  Cosgrave have you lost your mind?
CNS Ens Foster says:
::His eyes widen as Cosgrave draws a phaser and aims it at one of the other admirals.::  Self:  What the hell?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
Smyth:  If you please.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Leans back slightly in her chair, her eyes on Smyth::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Remains very still feeling the security agent tense behind him::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Blinks a few times, then...blinks a few more times...he can only barely manage to look first to his right, then his left, and suddenly feels quite vulnerable without a sidearm::
Admiral Smyth says:
All:  On a hunch we tracked down Admiral Harlan on a Science expedition on the outskirts of Avalon Station.  She has been there for the past few months.  Which means this Admiral must be a fake.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::uncrosses her legs, watching Cosgrave and then looks to Smyth.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Just as confused as everyone else, she looks from one Admiral to another as she leans forward slightly.::
Admiral Harlan says:
::Pulls an item out of her uniform sleeve and fires it.::  Outloud:  Death to the Federation!!

ACTION:  The weapon discharges hitting Admiral Crenshaw in the chest knocking him to the floor.

Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Fires his phaser at Harlan.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Uncertain whether to duck or stand given she has no weapon and decided either way, she is really annoyed.::

ACTION:  Red Alert warnings begin throughout the entire station.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::His eyes widen and he instinctively slides to the floor and makes himself small...hasn't even got a knife at this gunfight::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::She quickly stands as phasers are fired.  She wishes she had her weapon::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Finally leaps to her feet, dashing to Admiral Crenshaw’s side, but pulling up short, lest she look like an attacker. Instead, she drops to her knees to try to cross the final feet to him::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Taps his badge.::  OPS:  Initiate Phase 1.  Authorization Cosgrave alpha one 773 Charlie one.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Reflexively ducks as the weapons fire breaks out.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Jumps to his feet and begins moving toward Harlan::

ACTION:  Media begin to flee the room in mass panic.

Admiral Harlan says:
::Lying on the desk begins to laugh.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Rushes to help Raeyld, follows her lead as to not make matters worse for them::
Admiral Crenshaw says:
::Looks at Raeyld.::  CMO:  Oh they got me partner....
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks at everyone as if they are insane and with a sigh, just sits down to watch the show now that no one was firing.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks to Raeyld:: CMO: What can I do?

ACTION:  The entire station shakes....

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Stops as he gets within a few meters of Harlan, unsure what to do with a laughing lunatic::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks up as she feels the floor beneath her shake and it has nothing to do with the stampede for the door.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Moves forward rather than back, knowing there will only be mass confusion at the rear exits, and clambering in a low crouch toward the admirals and his two captains::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks down at Theron::  CNS:  I know it is probably stupid saying it, but that cannot be good.  ::Stands::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Taking Crenshaw's pulse and respiration, trying to assess how bad the damage is, and cursing the stupid, stupid people who ever insist on keeping her away from her medkit:: CO: Try to find a medkit somewhere...there should be one nearby, it's protocol.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Crouches, down holding onto the table as the floor begins to shake::
Admiral Crenshaw says:
CMO:  It’s okay Doc.  I lived my life well..  Well...   Life well....
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Glances around as the station shakes.::  CSO:  I think I'd have to agree with you there.  ::Stands up and sees the mass of people trying to get out of the room.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CMO: Aye, doctor.  ::Gets up and starts to look around for a medkit::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Remains patiently where he was awaiting escort back to the brig.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Lays a hand on his arm.::  CNS:  Until they clear, there is nothing we can do.  Let’s join the others.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Talking with one of his security men in the corner of the room.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Keeps his eyes moving, trying to spot the weapon in Harlan’s hand or wherever it was now::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Takes another glance at the mob and wonders how many will be hurt before moving with Senn toward the others.::  CSO:  I expected a media circus just not quite that.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Rushes over to Cosgrave::  Admiral: Medkit?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Keeps a look out for anyone else that might be trying to draw a weapon in the confusion, seeing that the captains are relatively safe, given the circumstances::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Moves closer to Harlan, ready to knock him down if he tried to get up::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Turns to T'Shara.::  CO:  Captain he is not a concern.  Just a precaution.  We have problems.  Get your crew together.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Starts to rip off her jacket to press against the Admiral's chest where a gaping hole resides, presumably to staunch the flow of blood, but freezes, as she realizes, belatedly, that there...is no blood::
Admiral Harlan says:
::Begins to glow, but unable to move.::  Outloud:  Laughing..
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Blinks::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Stops near T'Shara.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the Admiral, looking back at Raeyld::  Admiral: But, Admiral  he needs medical attention.  I need the medkit.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
Crenshaw: --You--your partner. Who is your partner? Why are you here?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Without turning::  CO/CMO:  Ummmm....  Harlan is glowing.  That can't be good, right?
Admiral Crenshaw says:
CMO:  As a precaution.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Hearing Sky she turns to see the glowing admiral::  All:  I think it is time to leave... preferably in one piece.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
Crenshaw: Against what?
Admiral Crenshaw says:
CMO: Her. ::Points to Harlan as he begins to depixel.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CO:  No we need to get your crew to level 1 operations.  Get all your officers here to my office.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Turns this time, speaking louder::  CO/CMO:  Harlan is GLOWING.  Probably time to get out, don't you think?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at the Admiral and then back to Raeyld and nods to the Admiral::  Admiral: Aye, sir.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Waits for the captain to head out first::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
Crenshaw: Who was your partner? Who?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Manages to overhear most of the communication between the captains and Cosgrave, and stands a little bit from his crouch, though he is still in an attack posture despite his lack of weapon...looks up to the captains, seeing the situation appears to be changing, and waits for orders before he does anything else::

ACTION:  Harlan explodes blowing a hole in the deck above and below.   Thanks to the phase one Admiral Cosgrave ordered a field was in place to protect the room....

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Notices a franticness to the movement of bodies towards the door, he can't see over the press of press given the givens and what he doesn't know he just kind flows with the crowed towards the exit::

ACTION:  Ammonium Nitrate lines the force field with what’s left of Harlan.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Turns toward the explosion and takes a deep breath relieved they were still there.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Mutters::  Messy... CO: Ma'am...
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Shudders with the feel of the explosion in the room, but continues to grip "Crenshaw's shoulders":: Crenshaw: Who was your partner? Who are you?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Hawk::  CAG/CTO/CSO: We need to head to level 1 operations immediately.  The Admiral's office.  Mr. Damrok get Commander Raeyld.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Flinches from the explosion, throwing up his arm.  Slowly looks down, amazed but happy to be alive.  He tried to tell them... but nooooooooooooooooooo::

ACTION:  A second large explosion rocks through the station.  This time blowing off upper level docking rings 1, 2 and 3.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CO:  After you....
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Flinches as the admiral explodes then stumbles as a second explosion somewhere rocks the station.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Finds herself on the floor::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Ayesir.  ::Moves immediately to Raeyld::  CMO:  Doctor...we have our orders to move to level one operations.  We should proceed immediately.  Admiral Cosgrave seems to know much more about this situation that we do.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Hears the explosion and ducks down hoping the bodies around him will give him some modicum of protection as he covers his ears. No pressure wave or heat hit his body...just the sudden frantic movement of feet and legs and people trying to escape no longer bothering with 'orderly'::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Senn::  CNS: Counselor you’re with us.
Colonel Stiegler says:
::Yells from across the room.::  Cosgrave:  We have 6 inbound craft.  1hr 45 min until weapons range of the station.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Scrambling to her feet she makes it through the door, debating on going to the admiral’s office or her ship.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances to Damrok a moment, then desperately back to Crenshaw, just wishing for an answer before she has to leave...but growing quickly resigned it just won't be that easy::
CNS Ens Foster says:
CO:  Yes captain.  ::Moves with the others toward the door.::
Admiral Smyth says:
Outloud:  Station shields are down.  We just lost all upper level docking rings.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes a breath:: CTO: Acknowledged.  ::Starts to stand to her feet::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
Smyth:  Claymore?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Looking around, trying to see if all the Clay crew was headed out::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Heads for the door with the others::
Admiral Smyth says:
Cosgrave:  Adrift as ordered sir.  You were right they are hitting defenses.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CMO:  Commander!  I see everyone else.  Where is Fong??
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks once more at the figure of Crenshaw at her feet, then shakes her head, and turns toward the exit, frightfully calm::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Enters the nearest lift and waits for the others to enter::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Probably already on his way.  ::Follows Damrok's lead::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Quickly and impatiently enters::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Shrugs::  CMO:  Okay.  ::Follows the group out::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Tails after T'Shara, entering the turbolift::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Enters the lift with the captain and the others.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Staying in the middle of one of groups of press heading up a lift towards where the docking rings::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Enters the lift with the rest of the Claymore crew::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Everyone here?

ACTION:  Another explosion through the Station.  This time power goes out and emergency lighting takes over.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Presses into the lift with Hawk and Damrok as they're momentarily bathed in darkness::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Does a quick headcount::  CO:  Aye--  ::Waits to see if emergency power will allow the lift to move::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Mutters to no one in particular::  Maybe we should have this little meet and greet on the Clay....
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Closes the doors to the lift as darkness takes over except for emergency lighting::  TL: Operations Level 1
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Moves along with Smyth and Stiegler as reports continue to come in.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks to Hawk at the comment and partially nods::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Enters a lift.:: TL:  Priority route to Level 1.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Between Sky and Theron counts the seconds before the lift stops at their destination, hoping the doors opened.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Grins for the first time in days::  CO:  After all.... it's not in the process of exploding at the moment.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::The doors quickly open as T'Shara heads out::  All: We are to report to Cosgrave's office.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Exits the TL and quickly catches the others.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow to Hawk and gives him a look::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Pauses slightly as she hears a second lift open::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Gets shoved out with the rest of the civilians several decks below the docking ring to see chaos and confusion.:: Self: Well at least security won't be looking for me for a while...
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Moves with the group in something slightly above a haze::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Breathes a small sigh of relief that the lift made it and the doors open.  Moves out of the lift into an area washed in emergency lighting.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Simply follows and waits as the moment dictates.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Immediately follows out after T'Shara, then screeches to a halt...a little bit lost in thought...sees the picture of the force fields Cosgrave put in place in his mind, the way they looked after the explosion, and thinks back, trying to place the finer details of the visual::

ACTION:  Another explosion rumbles through the station.  The Galaxy class vessel on the lower docking ring tears away from the docking ring as it explodes.  The port side exposed to space for a moment.

Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Enters his office and waits for the others.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::As they approach the Admiral's office, she hits her commbadge:: *OPS*: Raeyld to Fong.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Follows Cosgrave into his office with the others::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Follows the senior officers in and stands near the back::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
Admiral: What just happened?  Or what is happening?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Taps the monitor on the wall.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Entering the room, she looks t the Admiral for answers and hoping they were quickly.::
Admiral Crenshaw says:
*Cosgrave*:  I see by internal sensors things went as you had expected.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks up as Cosgrave has moved on toward his office, and expects T'Shara to do the same...follows her closely::  CO:  Captain...there was a residue on the forcefield after it exploded.  I can't be sure, but...it had a certain consistency and color.  I think I recognized it from the crash of the Visby.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Pauses at a porthole wondering why it is dark, then the protective darkening clears and he can see the shattered remains of a Galaxy class, his eyes search for a name or a registry number, his hand moving automatically to his chest:: *CMO* Yes Commander?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
*Crenshaw*:  Yea Admiral we are in the middle of a Vroa attack.  It looks like they hoped to get as many Starfleet Admirals together, but we managed to stop that portion.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Takes a breath and counts to ten, trying to find patience somewhere.  As she glances over at Theron she almost smiles.  There was some.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Half-frowns as Cosgrave's communique essentially confirms his suspicion::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances at Damrok, quietly::  CTO: The Visby?
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Catches Senn's eye and gives her a quick smile.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods::  CO:  Ammonium nitrate.  ::Tilts his head toward Cosgrave::  The Vroa.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*OPS*: Admiral Cosgrave's office.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods, quietly listening::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks confused, Vroa?  Why would they be attacking the station?::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
::Turns to the Crew.::  All:  I'm sorry for all of this.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Moves through some of the chaos back towards the lift:: *CMO* Going to take a minute.  I got caught with the crowed... You might want to tell someone that the core on whichever galaxy class was docked portside just went critical.  I didn't see any escape pods from that vantage.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Shakes his head, forgetting himself momentarily and taking a bit of initiative::  Cosgrave:  What is the next step, Sir?
Admiral Cosgrave says:
All:  We have incoming Vroa ships.  The Claymore is safe, but adrift in space.  Thanks to our lovely Admiral Harlan imposter the Claymore is completely shutdown.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Spots the emergency beacon of a turbolift as the station rocks again. Moving low he ducks under a fallen beam into the lift and inputs priority codes for level one...naturally the claymore's codes don't work on the station::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
All:  You have 1 hour to beam over to the claymore, get her powered up and intercept the Vroa before they reach this station.  Which in its current state has no shields and presumably more Vroa running around.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Raises his eyebrows...  one hour from cold iron?  Throw out the checklists::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks to her crew::  Admiral: Aye sir.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
All:  Whatever fears you had about Starfleet Court martial should be laid to rest.  There will be none.   Transporter room 6 is standing by with full EVA suits.  Captain T'Shara the Claymore is yours.  Commander Raeyld You did a fine job under the circumstances.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Stands quietly as she watches, and simply swallows, and nods slightly, as she's mentioned::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Shoots Raeyld a grin that says both way to go and told you so::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
All:  If I only had one ship and crew it would be the Claymore.  Now get the hell out of my office and get the Claymore operational.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks to Raeyld with a slight smile and bows her head in respect to Cosgrave:: Admiral: Thank you Admiral.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Hangs back momentarily::  Cosgrave:  Sir...has Starfleet by chance come up with some way to more easily detect a cloaked Vroa individual?  If not...  ::Hesitates to think of the kind of security sweeps that will be required, but if it's necessary, it's necessary::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
Admiral: Yes sir.  All: You heard the Admiral.  Transporter room 6 immediately.  ::Doesn't hesitate turns and quickly leaves the office for the turbolift::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks again to T'Shara, waiting for her lead... she wanted off this station and back to the ship where at the moment, it was the safest place to be.::
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  I only wish Commander.  That’s what Admiral Smyth's team was doing before needing a rescue.   Seems not even the Breen can figure a way to detect the Vroa cloak.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Pauses a moment, and can only really thing of one thing to say, as out-of-character as it might be::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Moving along, she contacts her people informing to get a move on and to make sure her daughter was safely aboard with them.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Self/Cosgrave:  ...Damn.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
CTO:  To say the least Commander.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears Cosgrave's comment to Damrok as she departs the office::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::She also passes on the shorten report of what was going on.::

ACTION:  Another explosion is felt throughout the Station.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks up::  Cosgrave:  Good luck to you, Sir.  ::Snaps off a salute, and jogs briskly out of Cosgrave's office::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Is rocked to the side slightly as she makes her way to the turbolift::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Follows T’Shara out.  EVA suits....  groans thinking about it::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO/CTO: Fong's location?
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Follows the others out of the admiral's office wondering what he will be albe to do to help get the ship up and running.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Enters the turbolift, with the others::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods once more to Cosgrave…. then turns to follow T'Shara and Damrok::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Arrives with a turbolift on deck on a slight spark arcing from the panel he looks up to hear the CO ask about him and frowns::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
