Let The Die be Cast! - Mission 13 - 11209.25

Summary:  The hum of the Claymore now echoed through the corridors.  Power was back online, as was all Environmental systems.  The crew had only a few minutes left to get the warp core, weapon systems, and defensive systems online.  The chance for them to intercept the Vroa grew shorter by the minute…

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

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Buried in the bowels of the ship with the computer core.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps out of the turbolift onto the bridge, looking around as she walks toward the center::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::In main engineering running through the emergency warp core power up sequence::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Commander is there any way to test the crew coming over via transporter while their being beamed aboard.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Having completed bringing environmentals back online, she's settled back into her place in Main Engineering, sitting back against a console, tricorder in her hand, monitoring the critical engineering area for any possible Vroa approach::
Sahriv says:
CSO:  I have this almost finished.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Moves out of the turbolift ahead of Chandler, carbine raised and ready even if the armory should still be secured::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks up at the Vulcan Computer scientist and nods her head.::

ACTION:  The warp core flashes briefly. Then the steady blue almost fluidic flow of matter / anti matter begins to react.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *CSO*: Commander Senn if you and Mr. Kytides are done in the computer core please report to the bridge.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Having just finished with their backup power plan he step away from Hawk as he starts with the prep of the fighters.::  *CO*:  Power from the shuttles and Jarrow are ready when needed, where else can I help out.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Doesn't look up yet, watching two screens at once keeping deuterium/anti-deuterium flow through the injector coils steady and slow while making sure the dilithium crystals are properly aligned.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CNS*: Ensign Foster good work please report to the bridge.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances up occasionally to glance at Fong as he works, then back to the tricorder screen::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Watching the screen before flash for a moment before settling to green she sighs.::  Sahirv:  That's it.  Stay here for about another half an hour just to make sure.  Do a level 10 diagnostic while you are at it.  ::With a nod, she heads out the door.::
Station OPS says:
COMM: USS Claymore:  We are ready to transport restock of Quantum torpedoes on your request.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*CO*:  Captain, Senn.... the computer is fully up and running now.  Heading for the bridge.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Yes, captain.  We should be able to examine the patterns to ensure that we do not beam any unauthorized personnel aboard.  ::Busily working on calibrating the torpedo loading timers...worse comes to worse, manual firing solutions will do, but they've got to make sure that they can load them fast enough to keep up::
CNS Ens Foster says:
*CO*:  On my way.  ::Heads out of the shuttlebay door to the lift::  TL:  Bridge.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps commbadge again:: *CSO*: Acknowledged Commander
SEC CPO Chandler says:
::Follows closely behind Kytides, glad to be walking at a non-magnetized pace::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Contact Deep Space 3 let them know to begin beaming our people back on board.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::As she steps into the lift she orders it to the bridge.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sits down in her chair::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: How soon can we expect weapons and shields Mr. Damrok.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::As the lift stops, she steps off onto the bridge with a brief glance at the almost empty room as she moves to her station.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Ayesir.  ::Effortlessly reaches with his left hand to toggle the comms while he continues working at the panel to his right::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Logging on to her station, she quickly brings it up.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  I imagine we'll have access to torpedoes soon, but calibrating the targeting sensors is another matter entirely.  There isn't any way to tell whether they'll be reliable, and I don't think we'll have time for test firing.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks up at Senn and nods as she steps onto the bridge::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Steps off the lift and heads down the command area.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
COM: DS3:  Claymore to Deep Space Three -- this is Lieutenant Commander Damrok.  Please alert all Claymore personnel to prepare to beam aboard immediately.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Moves over to another console to start a trickle flow of power to the nacelles. He then turns back to the warp core watching power levels coming up slowly.  Flooding her would be worse than bad, but he continues to bring the flow through the injector coils up right at the max rating:: CMO: If E.N.V. is charged check power flow to comms and sensors
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Notices Foster as he takes his position at the center of the bridge::  CNS: Counselor
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Brings internal sensors online placing them on the top screen.  She then activates external sensors and begins a wide sweep of the area.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Nods his head::  CO:  Captain.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Moves toward the door, but stops well short of opening it::  *MAA*: Kytides and Chandler coming in.  Everything clear of Vroa?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::The auto diagnosis gives her a reading short of 2%.  She would tease her brother about messing with her sensors if he did not have his hands full at the moment.::

Station OPS says:
COMM: USS Claymore: CTO: Understood.  Your crew is standing by.  We will transport them to Transporter room 1 and 2 and the Claymore's Flight deck.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Glances around the bridge, it feeling empty with only a few people there.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Blinks briefly, but quickly unfolds her legs to stand once more, moving briskly to the requisite console to check power flow::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Do what you can.  As you said we don't have time for a proper test so we will have to make do at this point.
MAA SCPO Golarex says:
*TO*:  Understood sir.  Everything clear for us so far.  ::Motions to make sure the ones standing guard understand, even if tricorders and the conversation should have made it clear already, since getting superior officers shot is bad form::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CO:  I have a loss of about 2% on sensors.  No time to recalibrate them.  ::Looks at the top screen::  Internal sensors look clean.  Environmental is good across the board.

ACTION:  Warpcore power enters green level operations.  All systems are within operational parameters.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Turns to the external screen::  CO:  There is a large debris field aft of the Claymore.  ::Grimly::  Mostly federation.... ::Looks over her shoulder.::  It is Deep space 3.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Excellent Commander.  Once we're underway I want you to actively scan the incoming Vroa vessels.  I want you to capture as much data on them as possible.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
COMM: DS3:  Copy that, Deep Space Three.  ::Nods to the captain::  CO:  The crew should be on their way, Sir;  additionally, the station is ready to restock torpedoes.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Gives Theron a brief smile.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Aye, Commander.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks to the figures on the screen;  will be happy when Senezem has returned to the torpedo room so he has eyes in place to warn him of anything out of the ordinary::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Have them beam over torpedoes.  Notify them we will be underway shortly.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Nods and pulls up the data on Vroa ships and then setting sensors to locate the trail.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Catches Senn's eye and flashes her a quick grin before turning back toward the viewscreen.  Not really expecting anything there yet but not sure what else to do.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Pulls off the EVA suit gloves and helmet as the warp core continues to come up, he tosses them under the pool table:: *Bridge* Warp core power up in progress, all systems should be available, please restrict high draw usage for ten minutes while emergency batteries charge if possible.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: Counselor please take the helm.  Take us to 1/3 impulse on an intercept course for the Vroa vessels.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Signals the station to begin torpedo restock whenever possible::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Enters the armory, nodding to Golarex and moving over to him before tapping his commbadge again::  *CTO*:  We've met up with the other team at the armory, Sir.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*OPS/CMO*: Excellent work Mr. Fong, Claymore personnel will be beaming over shortly as well as additional supplies of torpedoes.  Once the engineering team has relieved you please return to the bridge.  Commander Raeyld, please return to sickbay and begin prepping.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  Understood, Ensign.  The rest of the crew is reporting via transporter as we speak.  I need you and one other bridge tactical officer to report to the bridge immediately to assist with targeting.  Without a test fire, we may have to find solutions manually.
CNS Ens Foster says:
CO:  Aye sir.  ::Moves down to the helm and quickly logs in and punches in the required commands.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  Please see to it that all tactical personnel are adequately armed to repel boarders.  If we don't get the shields back online, we will be vulnerable.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Checks in with Sahriv's brother, Sov-masu, who ended up with babysitting duty as they had no need of an oceanographer at the moment.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Completes her check as she hears the Captain's instructions, makes a mental note as to what to do next, then briefly wonders what the heavens is wrong with her::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Making sure everything is fine and reminding him to leave nothing behind.::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Brings the ship to 1/3 impulse on an intercept course with the incoming ships.::

ACTION:  The Claymore moves on her own power.  She banks to the port side and swings around Deep Space 3.  The damage of the station can be seen from the main viewscreen.

TC CPO Buttler says:
::Beams into the Claymore's transporter room and nearly vaults the console clearing the backlog of system boot up warnings and managing the receiving end of the transporters.::

ACTION: 20 Quantum Torpedoes appear in the forward torpedo storage.

CNS Ens Foster says:
::Glances up at the viewscreen as the station comes into view.::  CO:  On our way captain.

ACTION: 20 Quantum Torpedoes appear in the Torpedo sail storage.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Less than twenty minutes until we have shield charge, but I can't be any more specific than that.  ::Sets up his main panel so he's got little countdown estimators for all of his tasks on the leftmost side, reminding him to check the status of various tactical systems::
TO Ens Kytides says:
*CTO*:  Aye, Sir.  We'll be up soon.  ::With regret, hands off his carbine to one of the guards, since Golarex already procured one himself::  MAA:  Arm up fully, carbines and rifles as needed, and distribute them to other tactical personnel as they come aboard.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::As sensors find a match she turns around::  CO:  I have a trail.  6 Vroa vessels.  The amount suggests we are looking at 2 being smaller than the other 4.  Dispersion suggests they were traveling at warp 8 on a direct path to DS3.  ::Puts a small screen onto the main viewer with the flight path.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Orders the turbolift from the flight deck to the bridge
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: We're going to need better than that if we jump to warp right now we will probably be in combat in fifteen.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at the viewscreen at the damage that Deep Space 3 has taken::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Ignores the damage she sees as there is nothing she can do directly for them at the moment.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at the viewscreen::  *OPS*: I'm going to need warp 9 in about ten minutes Mr. Fong
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::With all power flows nominal, she silently takes her tricorder back out and resumes monitoring::
CNS Ens Foster says:
CO:  Time to intercept is 30 minutes at 1/3 impulse, will leave the Vroa getting quite close to the station though.
MAA SCPO Golarex says:
TO: Aye sir.  ::Grins in trademark fashion despite the situation, rather in his element now, and turns to start relaying orders down the line after Kytides turns his attention elsewhere::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Curses under his breath as he looks at the status readouts and power displays:: *CO* I'll do what I can.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*OPS*: I know you will Mr. Fong.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: Be prepared to take us to warp 9 on my command.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  I'll do what I can, Captain, but at the moment, it's primarily up to getting them aligned.  I'll skip what diagnostics I can in favor of restoring them to operation as soon as possible.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Looks around for a moment, before spotting another bridge officer in the group after a moment's search::  SEC: Stay here and join in getting ready for repelling boarders.  ::Moves over to the guard he'd just spotted::  TO2:  Senezem, you're with me.
EO Ens Feare says:
::Steps into Engineering, still in his civilian clothing, burn marks along one side of his shirt as he moves wordlessly to the pool table to check the system status then he moves to the warp core controls with Fong::
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Blinks, surprised, but nods, despite himself not too sad to be away from possible action since this time it involves invisible enemies::  TO: Yes Sir.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Checks the nav sensors and plots an intercept course at warp 9 and keeps a watch on the engine status waiting for the warp drive to come online.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Understood Damrok.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Halts preliminary diagnostics as the shield generators begin to power, setting the computer only to help him manually align the transmitters::
OPS Lt Fong says:
*Bridge* Warp speeds available, but not recommended.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances up as Feare enters engineering...and steadily snaps her tricorder shut, setting it on the nearby console. Removes her EVA suit, picks the tricorder back up, and heads for the Main Engineering exit::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Thank you Commander let me know when you have more.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Mr. Fong

ACTION: 20 quantum torpedoes materialize within the forward launcher storage as well as 20 quantum torpedoes in the torpedo sail storage.

ACTION:  Internal sensors show 300 persons now on the claymore

TPD PO2 Senezem says:
::Darts into the forward saucer torpedo room::  *CTO*:  Sir, this is the forward torpedo room.  ::Logs into her console::  I've recorded the transport of forty quantum torpedoes each to the sail and to the forward torpedo room.  Running diagnostic on the automatic loaders and targeting sensors now.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TPD*:  Copy that, torpedo room.  Update me as necessary.  Damrok out.  ::Continues attempting to calibrate the shield generators individually with the assistance of the computer::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Pulls his phaser out, missing the carbine already, and moves back out of the room and into the nearby turbolift, nodding once back toward the room as he leaves in a general attempt to be personable::

ACTION: 500 life signs now on the claymore

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Doesn't see the power draw from the warp drive systems and begins a manual alignment of the warp field, hoping to minimize the damage the flight will do.::

ACTION: 20 quantum torpedoes materialize in the forward torp storage and 20 more in the torpedo sail storage.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CO:  Incoming... six Vroa vessels, two smaller than the other four.  They are on a direct path to DS3... warp eight.  :: puts a small screen onto the main viewer with the flight path.::

ACTION: 550 total life signs now on the Claymore.

OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Moves across the bridge to the operations station taking a seat and logging in, checking system status and power distribution::
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Moves into the lift after him, a little jumpy even being called to bridge duty instead::
Station OPS says:
COMM: USS Claymore: Claymore all your crew are beamed over.  Good luck Claymore.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sees a rapid text alert confirming the arrival of forty more quantum torpedoes...immediately assuming this means stopping power with extreme prejudice, begins loading a full salvo of quantum torpedoes in each launcher, planning a full forward salvo as soon as they drop from warp or are otherwise in firing range::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks toward internal sensors::  CO:  Reading 550 live signs...
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
CO: DS3 reports all crew beamed over.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Waits, slightly impatiently, for Senezem, ordering the turbolift to the bridge as soon as he's on as well::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks over at Senn and then back to the viewscreen.::  CSO: Acknowledged Commander.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Glances to the secondary console, knowing Kytides is on his way, but somewhat concerned nevertheless about getting the essentials done in time::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO/OPS: Acknowledged.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: I want all forward torpedo launchers loaded and ready.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  In progress, Sir.  They will be ready within the minute.  ::Resumes the shield generator alignment::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CO:  ETA at current speed, twenty minutes.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Take us to red alert.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Kendal:  Mister Kendal, if you can spare any personnel to assist in the diagnostics and realignment of the shield generators, it would be appreciated.  ::Reaches to his left and toggles the button::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*Shipwide*: All hands report to battle stations.  This is not a drill.  Arm security teams please report to all vital areas of the Claymore.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Understood.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
Aloud:  Red Alert!  ::Immediately and reflexively checks to ensure his sidearm is in place, and once again resumes his work on the shield generators::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: Take us to warp 9.  Engage
CNS Ens Foster says:
CO:  Aye captain.  ::Makes a few adjustments to his plotted course then glances at the engines status before pushing them to warp 9::
Sov-masu says:
*CSO*: We are safely aboard.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*Sov-masu*:  Take her to the school room with the other children.  Then get a count on our people.

ACTION:  The Claymores nacelles glow blue then blow out several large streams of plasma before the ship jumps to warp.  Down in engineering sparks fly across the warp coils as the cold warp drive jumps to warp.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sends orders to Golarex to assign teams to all remaining tactical personnel in groups of four, and assigns three groups to main engineering, one to the bridge, and the rest to predesignated emergency patrol routes throughout the ship::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CO:  Intercept at current speed, five minutes.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Enters the bridge after putting tricorder and phaser away regretfully, just in time to hear the klaxons go off, and moves towards the tactical stations::  CTO:  Sir.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Glances back at the now busy if darker main engineering:: Aloud: Watts, watch the injector coils, put them on the redlines and keep them there.  Feare I'm headed to the bridge, you've got Engineering...::he winces as sparks rain down around him:: Self: That gonna be fun to fix.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Exits Main Engineering and starts walking toward the nearest turbolift::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks up::  TO:  Kytides, you and Senezem have five minutes to help me align the remaining shield generators.  With any time left, we will also attempt to calibrate the targeting sensors.  If we can't manage the latter, the two of you will have to find my firing solutions for the torpedoes.

ACTION:  Phasers arrays come online.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Heads for the turbolift at a quick jog, entering and pressing the button for the bridge in one swift movement, only then noticing Commander Raeyld in the lift with him.  He stares at the door::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Keeps a close eye on his panel as they jump to warp, seeing a few warning lights pop up on the engine status but ignores them for now.  Makes minor course adjustments as they speed toward the incoming vessels.::
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Follows Kytides in, moving in to his side they listen to Damrok's orders::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sees a welcome sight -- a light finally blinks green on his console::  CO:  Phasers online, Captain.  We'll target manually if necessary.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO/CSO: I need to know immediately what their vessels capabilities are.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Damrok:: CTO: Good work Mr. Damrok
TO Ens Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Moves up to the secondary console and getting to work quickly::

ACTION:  Shield alignment turns green across the board.  The faint blue sparkle of shields spring to life over the outer hull.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Presses the control for the medical deck, and likewise studies the interior of the turbolift with apathetic, but focused interest::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Shakes his head::  CO:  I had very little to do with it, Sir.  Thank engineering.  The shields are also now online and charging.
TO2 Ens Senezem says:
::Moves up to help as well but pauses as it turns green before he manages to do anything::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Get to work on those targeting sensors.  I'll begin the tactical analysis.  ::Begins looking at the feeds from the long range board::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::A slight smile at Damrok's comment and nods once again::  CTO: Aye, Commander.
TO1 Lt Kingston says:
::Marches her team of four into main engineering, moving to cover the area near the warp core while attempting to remain as unobtrusive as possible::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CO:  Smaller vessel... reading three hundred and fifty live signs.  Eight forward disrupter banks.  ... shield system unknown.
TO Ens Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Nods, settling in now and trying quickly to bring the targeting sensors on, leaving room for Senezem to work beside him::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes a half-step forward as the lift begins to slow...then a second as it slides into place and the doors open::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: I want a full spread of all our forward torpedoes targeting all six of the Vroa craft.  We need to drop them from warp.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Would think he could hear a fallen hair in the lift car, the silence was as thick as molasses in may::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Recommend we also alert the air group.  If they do indeed have fighters, we'll need to deploy as soon as possible.  If the disruptors are their primary weapons, hanging back from the fray and using torpedoes would seem to be our best option, particularly if those larger ships are as immobile as they look.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CO:  Larger vessels ready seven hundred and fifty life signs each... twelve forward disruptors banks.  Two forward weapon bays... possibly fighter bays.   Shields also unknown.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Doors finally open, she steps out of the lift and into the corridor::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  The quantum torpedoes are loaded and ready at your command, Captain.  Acquiring a targeting solution should not be a problem at the targets' present velocity.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: I agree with your tactical analysis.  But, I think we'd be better off letting the Claymore feel the first impact so we know what we're dealing with.  I would hate to send fighters out only to have them destroyed by disruptor fire.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Waits for the lift doors to close in silence, taking a breath to say something, then closing his lips on unsaid words::
MAA SCPO Golarex says:
::Raises his phaser, happy to finally be done sending off the personnel, and nods to his own group with a grin as they set off to join the other groups in engineering::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
All:  ETA two minutes till weapon range.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks over at Damrok::  CTO:  Remember, sensors are off slightly.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Understood, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Prepare to fire on my mark.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: The minute we have confirmation the Vroa vessels have dropped from warp bring us to full impulse on their flank.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  I'll compensate as best I can.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Nods::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Continues trying to bring the targeting sensors up, wanting to beat the start of the battle::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Nods in response to the captain and prepares to drop them out of warp::

ACTION: ETA 1 minute until weapons range.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Has the computer calculate his firing solutions...somewhat easier than it might be, as the Vroa are on a rather fixed line at this point::

ACTION: Claymore's targeting sensors come online.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Exits the lift on the bridge and heads to the engineering station as he can see Kendal at operations::

ACTION: ETA 30 sec

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Notices Fong arrive on the bridge.::  OPS: Good work Mr. Fong.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Watches as the ships grow on the screen.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Less than one minute until torpedo range.  I have a firing solution -- and targeting sensors have been restored.  ::Immediately runs a five-second diagnostic, rechecks the solutions against the sensors, and makes his planned targets more precise::

TO Ens Kytides says:
CTO:  Targeting online, Sir!  ::Takes a deep breath, setting them to work taking aim to be ready for the order::

ACTION: ETA 10 sec

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Excellent Commander.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Copy that, Ensign.  Man the phasers and prepare for incoming return fire!

ACTION: Targets within range.

EO Ens Feare says:
::Gives a last second check to the EPS and ODN networks.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Watches the main viewer::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Takes a settling breath, and presses the button to unleash the full salvo of forward torpedoes::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Briefly thinks she should have left Gladwyn on the station.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Sits down and pulls a seatbelt across his lap::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Straps in and turns back to the systems:: CO: Should we hail them ma'am?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Torpedoes away, Captain.  ::Eyes fixed on the sensors, waiting for results...he quickly sends orders to the torpedo room to keep a close eye on the reloaders as he begins the process of rearming the launchers::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Thinks Kendal had the right idea a button push too late.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Turns to Kendal::  OPS: I believe the torpedoes are enough of a hail.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Keeps a close eye on his sensors waiting for the ships to drop out of warp.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
::Notes the weapons are already away, somehow he missed the launch alarm:: CO: Right you are ma'am.

ACTION:  50 Quantum torpedoes fire from the forward firing arc of the Claymore.  They streak off from the Claymore and split.  8 torpedoes race towards each Vroa Vessel.
