ACTD Wide - Their Final Hour - USS Claymore

Their Final Hour - Mission 9 - 11305.14

Summary:  Quantum torpedoes enter the Bajoran atmosphere while the Claymore's fighters near their target in space.  The new sensor modifications allow them to see the Vroa Fleet and pick targets for their first strike.  On the Claymore the main deflector dish sends out sensor noise in the hopes of hiding the first attack.

The Battle for Bajor Begins!!

******************* Resume ACTD Wide - Their Final Hour - USS Claymore ***********************

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sitting, leaning forward in the CNS's chair::

ACTION: Sensors show Vroa Fleet in space Powering Weapons and Shields.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Looks at the sensor reports coming back from the fighters and assigns initial targets to each squadron::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Sitting at a console in engineering working over the specs for the glasses sent to them from the Seleya.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::With targets assigned and the fighters approaching the attack point, gives the weapons free signal and each squadron leader takes charge of his squadron::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Captain, the Vroa fleet in space has powered weapons, though they haven't changed course.  ::Monitors the planet as the torpedoes make their way toward the planet's surface::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::At her station, fiddling with the sensors and mentally making a bet on how quick engineering would be in the production of the lenses::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Stands at secondary tactical, waiting tensely to bring phasers to bear::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO: Captain, the squadrons are approaching the firing point and will commence their attack runs shortly.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sitting in her command chair, watching the view screen, tapping a few buttons on the armrest console as well::

ACTION: Quantum torpedoes impact the mountain range and the valley in which the Vroa were hiding.  The entire mountain range explodes into a fireball of molten rock and debris.  Further explosions bring the Vroa sensor shields down.   Vroa vessels explode as the torpedoes impact the valley.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Can you tell if they have detected the attack?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Acknowledged Mr. Hawk.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slows her breathing, time seeming to slow down and spread out, though she realizes it's only a matter of seconds, perhaps, until the Vroa begin attacking the Claymore::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Uploads the spec data into the computer and begins setting it up for replication.  Hopefully they could get a couple of them produced quickly.  The tactical display would be useful in taking on the fleet.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Passing sensor data back and forth, she quietly does her part.::

ACTION: Vroa continue to explode on the planet as half the mountain side falls down from the first impact.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Status Report on the planet?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, the fighters are in close weapon range and have commenced their attack runs
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  I cannot tell whether they have detected the attack, but it seems likely they have not yet determined our position.  The torpedoes have destroyed much of the mountain range, and the Vroa vessels continue to explode.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Fire at will.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Forward torpedoes are ready.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Fire again on the planet’s surface.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Blinks while checking the charge state of the phasers and looks up::  CO:  Captain, two Vroa scout ships incoming from the surface.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Secondary strike arming...  ::Taps a few buttons on his console::  Firing.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Looks down at the fire order he gave a few moments ago and grins::  CO:  Aye, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
TO: Fire phasers and aft torpedoes
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Turns to the replicator next to him as their first attempt is produced, quickly he picks it up and puts the visor on, flipping it on.  The images that pop up are distorted and sickening to look at.  He takes them off then goes back to the data, he must have transposed something when uploading.::

ACTION:  The Carrier Wings Fire exterior mounted quantum torpedoes and full forward micro torpedoes at the Vroa Fleet.  ETA 1 min to impact.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Silently reaches around the bag slung across her chest, lifting the flap to reveal access to its interior::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Targets one of the scout ships and unloads the aft torpedoes on it, holding charged phasers until they impact::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Studying the specs he notices a couple errors, that’s what he gets for rushing his work.  He opens the replicator file and begins making the necessary changes.::

ACTION:  The Vroa Fleet turns to the incoming fighters as they launch their weapons.   Vroa weapons fire on the fighters however they fire off in all directions missing the fighters by miles.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks up at the incoming scout ships on the viewer::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Uploads the fixed replicator file and instructs the computer to produce it.  It took some time for this piece.  While that started he turned back working on the more base model.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Frowns for a moment, then smiles:: CO:  Captain, squadron leaders are reporting that the Vroa ships seem unable to lock weapons.  Perhaps the doing of our friend, Mr. Vat?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Squads report that the Vroa fleet is made up of 2 Flag ships, 16 Wolf class, 10 heavy cruisers and 8 scout class
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances over at Hawk::  CAG: Perhaps Mr. Hawk.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Swallows, silently, as she follows the action and implications::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks down for a moment and then back up and over to Hawk then Damrok::  CAG: We have our work cut out for us.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Nods::  CO:  Indeed

ACTION:  Shields drop on the Vroa fleet as the fighters weapons begin to slam into the vessels.  Almost instantly eight of the Wolf class vessels explode from the quantum torpedo strikes followed by 8 of the scout ships imploding from massive damage taken from the Wolf class explosions and micro torpedo strikes.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::With the initial torpedo run competed, sends orders for the squadrons to make another run with remaining micro torpedoes, focusing on the two flags ships::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Picks up the full model as it’s finally produced from the replicator, he picks it up putting it on, rewarded with the tactical display popping up.  Taking it off, he waits for the next two to finish up then picks them all up and instructing the engineer to keep up production he heads for the lift::  Computer:  Bridge.

ACTION: Aft torpedoes impact the scout ship just entering space from the planet surface.  Its shields too drop and the Claymores torpedoes tear through the small vessel.  It explodes showing the upper atmosphere with debris.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Still eyeing computer reports, grins again::  CO:  Vroa shields dropped just as the torps impacted.  8 Wolfs destroyed and 8 Scouts destroyed.  Squads coming around for another run, targeting the flag ships.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Acknowledged Mr. Hawk.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the Captain.  Acknowledged?  That was great news and all it gets is an acknowledged?  Shakes his head and gets back to business::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Locks and fires four torpedoes at the other scout en route from the surface::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Opens phaser fire on the second scout, waiting on the aft torpedo reloads::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
FCO: Break orbit.  Full impulse toward the Vroa fleet.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::As the lift comes to a stop he steps out onto the bridge and steps over next to the tactical station.::  CTO:  Commander.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Catches her breath as she watches::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CNS:  Counselor.  ::Nods, not impolite, but rather absorbed at his duties::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Lieutenant, save the aft torpedoes for our encounter with the main fleet.  Target selection is at your discretion.

CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Lifts one of the visors, offering it to him.::  CTO:  Sorry to interrupt sir but we've got the first of the tactical visors produced,

ACTION: Quantum torpedoes again slam into the Vroa fleet on the planet surface.  The valley is turning into molten magma from the seconds strike.  The remaining Vroa fleet is wiped clean from Bajor.  Sensors detect small clusters of Vroa vessels fleeing the planet surface from other areas of the planet.  Once in space they warp out of the system.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Finds every cell of her body seems to be on edge as, miraculously, the Claymore herself hasn't yet taken a hit::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks up, blinking a few times, then takes the visor::  CNS:  Will it allow us to see other cloaked vessels, or merely individuals at closer range?
TO LtJG Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::With no Vroa torpedoes in sight yet, continues his phaser fire on the scout::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CTO:  This allows you to tap into their tactical network as we saw in the holoprogram, as well as see those near you.

ACTION:  Forward torpedoes fire and impact the second Vroa scout ship causing a massive explosion. now to the port aft side of the Claymore.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CNS:  ...Excellent timing.  Good work.  ::Slips the visor on::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Turns to Raeyld::  CMO: Looks like their fleeing from the planet.

ACTION:  Fighters regroup and begin another attack run against the Vroa Flag ships.  Twenty forward disruptors on each of the flag ships open fire against the Claymores Fighters.  However they once again miss the fighters.

CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Nods to the commander then steps down to the center of the bridge.::  CO:  We've finished up the first of the visors.  ::Offers her one.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Activates the visor and waits::  TO:  Mister Kytides, take over all weapon controls for the time being.  I'm attempting to access the Vroa tactical network.

ACTION:  The Fighter Wings open fire with another round of micro torpedoes aimed at the flag ships.  ETA 1 min.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Again, the Vroa ships seem unable to get a weapon’s lock.  2nd wave of torpedoes launched against the flag ships.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head at what Tavish must have gone through to manage to so thoroughly throw their targeting systems::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Glances up for a split second to look at the visor while taking weapons over::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: Good work Counselor.  ::Bows her head to him and takes the visor offered, putting it on::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Excellent Mr. Hawk.  Keep it up.

CNS LtJG Foster says:
CO:  Thank you captain.  ::He steps down next Hawk.::  CAG:  This may help coordinate your fighters.  ::Offers him the last of the first batch.::

ACTION:  The torpedoes impact the flag ships.  The first ship begins to drift to port slamming into one of the wolf class vessels.  The impact causes several small explosions followed by the two vessels showing the Vroa fleet with debris.   The seconds Vroa Flag ship continues to fire on the fighters taking slightly less damage.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CNS:  Thanks!
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Feels her stomach loop even as the ship seems to remain on an even course::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Activates the visor and takes a moment to see how they work::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Puts on the visor, then blinks a few times, trying to get acclimated::

ACTION:  The wolf class vessels break away from the fleet and heads to intercept the Claymore as it approaches the fleet.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Captain, the Vroa vessels have restored their shields.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, one flag ship seriously damaged, one still in the fight.  Reaper squad leader reports the Wolfs have broken off and seem to be headed this way.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Continues to watch the viewscreen, unassisted by a visor::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Orders the fighter squadrons to continue to focus fire on the flag ship::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Increase power to forward shields.  Target the leading wolf class vessels on an intercept course and fire.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Unslings her bag from her shoulder and instead wraps the strap around her left forearm::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Puts phasers back into charge, and opens up a barrage with reloaded torpedoes, splitting fire between the two closest Wolf ships::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods to Kytides as he makes the requested adjustments to the shields::

ACTION:  The Wolf class vessels open fire with full forward disruptors.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Holds to the chair arms of her seat::

ACTION:  Disruptor fire impacts the Claymores forward shields dropping them to 15 percent on the first attack.   The Claymore shakes as internal dampeners fight to compensate.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Grabs his console to steady himself::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Grabs the armrest of her chair to brace herself::

ACTION:  The Claymore's forward phasers strike against the Wolf class vessels.  Only minor damage to forward shields on the Vroa vessels.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Grips his console::  CO:  Forward shields at 15%.  Suggest we charge the hull plating, Captain -- another barrage will buckle the shields.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CTO: Aye, do it commander.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
:: Makes a slight change in sensors as one of the grids seems to fade out briefly.::

ACTION:  The fighters continue their assault on the remaining Vroa flag ship.   Its shields fall rapidly from the micro torpedo impacts.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Charges the hull plating and looks up through his visor, wondering whether there is any information that could be of use::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Stumbles as the Claymore having been watching the battle standing to the side of the bridge.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Winces slightly at the sheer firepower they're against and braces himself against his console, glancing to Hawk with Damrok busy::  CAG:  It may be a good idea to bring some fighters back for defense in case they use torpedoes.

ACTION:  The Wolf class fire again hitting the port side as the Claymore begins evasive maneuvers.   Port side nacelle takes damage causing plasma fires within the nacelle.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Nods::  TO:  Heads up thinking, Mr. Kytides.   ::Orders Reapers back to the Clay to take up point defense::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Moves back toward the lift, helping in engineering probably where he could be the most help now.::

ACTION:  The Vroa heavy cruisers open fire on the Fighters.   Three fighters explode from the weapons fire as they try to return to the Claymore.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, the fighters have the shields for the last flag ship almost down...  if the Clay can send a barrage of torpedoes, that may take it out, robbing the Vroa of the leadership we assume is on the flagship.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  I concur with Mister Hawk.  We should use our available torpedoes to attempt to destroy it.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Hawk::  CTO: Aye, Mr. Damrok.  Fire torpedoes when ready
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Hits her combadge:: *Sickbay*: Report.
MO Jennings says:
*CMO*: No casualty reports yet. Medteams standing by in critical areas.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Rides the lift down then steps out heading into main engineering, looking for whoever was in charge to see where he could help.::
MO Jennings says:
*CMO*: Correction, Commander. Reports coming in now. 16 wounded, three dead. Bringing them to sickbay.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*MO*: Anyone critical?

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO: Lock on the flagship and fire what we have.  ::Looks up again, hoping to find some tactical information on the flagship::
MO Jennings says:
*CMO*: Not yet according to reports.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*MO*: Understood. Notify me if that changes, Lieutenant. Raeyld out.

ACTION: The Claymores forward torpedo sail opens fire and almost immediately impact against the wolf class vessels.  Again shields drop on the Vroa vessels as the torpedoes impact  the explosions throw debris into the Claymores path as the fireball engulfs the Claymore...    Moments later the Claymore flies out of the fire and debris.

TO LtJG Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Targets past the Wolfs and unloads all available torpedoes on the flagship, spreading the phaser fire around on the other ships to try to keep them distracted::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, we lost three fighters from the Reapers.  The rest have taken up point defense positions around the Claymore.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Getting a damage report he grabs a tool kit and heads for one of the jeffries tubes.::

ACTION:  The Claymore fires its Forward Torpedoes at the Flag ship now limping along..  ETA 2 min

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Noted Mr. Hawk.

ACTION:  The Wolf class vessels turn and follow the Claymore.  They open fire on the aft section of the Claymore.   The impact throws the Claymore to her port side.  PPPD armor down to 80% but it absorbs all energies from the Vroa weapons.

ACTION: Torpedoes impact the Vroa Flag ship as Vroa tactical readings show a human life sign on board.   The Flag ship explodes from the first of the torpedo hits.  Remaining torpedoes impact scout ships following the flag ship causing more explosions.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::The whites of her knuckles are seen as her grip tightens on the armrest as she falls to the left in her seat::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Draws a deep breath, keeping her eyes on the status monitor she routed to the CNS's console::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO/TO: Status.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Blocking power to the panel he was at he pulled out the damaged power coupling and slips in a replacement, quickly hooking it up and rerouting power through this section.::

ACTION:  The Wolf class vessels fire 5 gravity well torpedoes at the Claymore.  ETA 2 min to impact.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Armor is holding.  The charge is eighty percent, but we have suffered no structural damage.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Sees the human life sign flash on the tactical net just before the flagship explodes.  Closes his eyes briefly as his shoulders sag::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Holds her breath::

TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Holds tight to his console at the impact, and looks up::  CO: Flagship down, Captain, but five Vroa torpedoes inbound.  Two minutes to impact.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Orders the Reapers to intercept the incoming torpedoes::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Reapers enroute to intercept torpedoes, Captain::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
TO: Fire all aft phaser arrays at the incoming torpedoes.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Closes her eyes::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Sees the power flow easily through the new coupling he closes the panel and moves on.  Luckily so far the Claymore hadn't taken any major damage.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Acknowledged

ACTION:  The Wolf Class vessels open fire on the fighters.   Two of the fighters are hit and spin out of control away from the battle.

ACTION: Fighters begin to fire on the Gravity well torpedoes.

TO LtJG Kytides says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Concentrates phaser fire on one torpedo to start, and goes back to firing torpedoes at the Wolf ships as they reload::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Redirects remaining squadrons to concentrate fire on the Wolfs::

ACTION: A single phaser strike impacts one of the 5 torpedoes inbound.  It explodes causing a massive gravity well followed by 4 more gravity wells as the remaining torpedoes are caught in the explosion.   Three fighters are instantly crushed by the gravity forces.  The Claymore is thrown from the aft end over end from the gravity explosions.

ACTION:  Two of the Wolf class vessels are caught in the gravity wells and are crushed instantly.

ACTION:  Sensors show three heavy cruisers warping out of the system.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Hurtles over his console and spills into the command pit, landing on his bad shoulder::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Has just enough time to see what happened to the fighters before sailing across the bridge and sliding to a stop as his back impacts the helm station::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Her bracing only adequate against moderate shakes, her loses her grip as she flies out of the chair and forward, tumbling head-first into the viewscreen::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Curses as he is tossed off the ladder he'd been climbing down and bounces off the walls to the bottom of ladder.::

ACTION:  Warp core goes offline.   Weapon fire from the wolf class vessels impact against the ventral side of the hull.  PPPD armor drops to 70%.  Internal dampeners fail on decks 3-14.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CTO:  I am picking up three heavy cruisers warping out of the system.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Her grip loosens as she is thrown from her chair and across the deck landing against Raeyld near the viewscreen, her arm twisted behind her and the visor twisted and pushed against her face::

ACTION:  Commander Raeyld hits the Main viewscreen causing once again a long crack down the center of the screen.

TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Loses his formerly-tough grip on the tactical console and relatively bounces back-first off another console, landing in a heap on the floor::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Trying to keep of her sensors and holding on tight, she see what is going on around her.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Writhes on the deck in pain, though he clutches at the visor with his right hand, which has clattered to the floor...grunts determinedly and claws his way to his feet::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::With a groan and a possible curse thrown in, pulls himself to his feet and limps back to his station::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
:: As best as she can, she reroutes power, shutting down all non-essential items.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Groans slightly as she struggles to retain consciousness, mostly just vaguely aware of being somehow bashed in more directions than she expected::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*Engineering*  Engineering, status check

ACTION:  The FCO manages to get the Claymore under control as sparks fly around the bridge.   In the Main Viewscreen the remaining Vroa fleet continues forward towards the Claymore.  Their weapons open fire all at once.

CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Grabs the ladder and tries to prop himself against the wall but finds it difficult, it didn't feel like the dampeners were active any longer.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Seeing Raeyld and T'Shara laying in/on the viewscreen, taps his commbadge::  *Sickbay*  Medical emergency on the bridge.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Coughs and gives his head a shake, then regrets it, sitting up and sliding back along the floor to use the console he hit to help him stand::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Scrambles, his arm dangling out of its socket, back to tactical, where he clumsily puts the visor on (for all the good it has done so far) and accesses his console::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks around, she notices Raeyld lying next to her.  Trying to get up she feels the pain of her twisted arm, she starts to sit up::  CMO: Doctor are you ok
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns toward the screen and calls out:: CO/CTO:  Incoming... suggest we put something between us and them while we can.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Draws a sputtering breath and sort of pulls herself upright, her eyes opening but her vision not quite clear. With the back of her wrist, she wipes at her eyes, smearing enough away she can see:: CO: ...define "okay."  ::Wipes with her other sleeve, then gets a good look at the Captain::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::With her left hand she manages to straighten the visor on her face::  CSO: Agreed.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
FCO: Put some distance between us and the fleet.

ACTION:  The Vroa weapons impact the Claymores forward saucer sections.  PPPD armor drops to 8%  the Bridge lighting drops to emergency only.

CNS LtJG Foster says:
::As the ship finally comes to a stop he tries to take stock of what damage was done to him in the fall.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Pulls himself up and carefully hobbles back to tactical, favoring his back::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Able to answer me at this point doctor.  That would be "okay" as you say.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Realizes, as she clears her mind, that the Captain's injured, and her bag is still attached to her left arm. She reaches in, drawing out a few supplies, doing her best to fall into rock-solid focus on work::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  Captain, no response from engineering.

ACTION: The fighters continue to weave in and out of the Vroa fleet.  Their weapons running low, but they continue their attack on the Wolf class vessels.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Keep trying Commander.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
CTO:  Weapon controls still up, Sir?  ::Settles in at the console quickly, glancing at Damrok's arm::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Yes..yes...able to answer you, Captain.  ::Wraps a cloth around her head, like some sort of headband, mostly covering her hair as well, then wipes her hands clean on a second cloth, before she flips open the tricorder and tries to get her bearings on the bridge::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  Will not happen... comms are down, ship wide.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CMO:  Commander...  no response from sickbay, so you're on your own up here for right now.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks around.  "Okay...first thing: Get out from in front of the viewscreen"::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::With her left hand she pulls herself up, her right arm throbbing::  CMO: Doctor stay still until someone from medical can help.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes a breath:: CSO: I see.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Coughs a little:: CAG: Understood. We'll manage.  

ACTION:  The Vroa again opens fire on the Claymore.

ACTION:  Two Wolf class vessels explode from the relentless attack by the Claymore's fighters.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks to Hawk knowing Raeyld needs more attention than just from herself::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Yes...looks like it.  ::Taps at the button to activate the visor::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::He was pretty bruised up, possibly a cracked rib or two but worst was his right arm, it was definitely broken or the shoulder was.  Tapping his badge he finds himself unable to communicate, comms much be down.  He needed to get back to engineering.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: I'll provide what assistance I can here, until we can reestablish communications with sickbay.  ::Begins scanning the Captain, while she reviews the bridge, assuming if anyone were in critical condition, someone would tell her::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Report on fighters?

ACTION:  Two more heavy cruisers turn from the battle and enter warp.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Five more down.  But they have taken out two more of the Wolfs.  They are also almost out of weapons, I'm going to have to replenish them soon.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Begin cycling a few back into the Claymore for resupply
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  For what good, I can go down and lend a hand...  or get in the way.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Shakes his head to clear it and quickly transitions that to a nod to Damrok's words, causing a wince, and resumes torpedo and phaser fire on the remaining Wolf::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Aye
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Quietly:: CMO: Just need to start back gettin back to my seat... ::Stands to her feet slowly. Slowly walks back to the CNS's seat, very slowly one step at a time::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Acknowledged Commander.  At least figure out what's going on down there.  Take a hand communicator with you and report once you get a status.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Orders the Javelins in for resupply while the Stormbreakers and Lightning continue the fight.  The remaining Reapers continue with Clay point defense::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Two more of the heavy cruisers have left the engagement at warp.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks over at the CTO, a quick glance at the doc and she stands and moves over to him only to pause::  CTO:  I can help you put the arm back... ::A question in her voice::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Attempts to help the CMO back to her seat::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Glances up knowing that would be the fastest way back to engineering he curses and begins a slow climbing doing his best to use his right arm as little as possible. gripping the side of the ladder with his left hand sliding it up as he climbed.::

ACTION: The Claymore turns to port still making evasive maneuvers.  Minor impacts from Vroa weapons tap against the PPPD armor.  It still holds at 8%.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Quietly:: CO: Thank you, Captain.  I can patch your arm, if you have just a minute. Until this is over.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks up at Damrok as she hears Senn::  CTO: Are you ok Mr. Damrok?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods, helping her sit the best she can::  CMO: Thank you Doctor.

ACTION: The Claymores torpedoes and phasers continue their fire against the heavy cruisers and the remaining Wolf class vessel.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Settles into the seat for a moment, removing a tool from her kit, which she applies to T'Shara's elbow as unobtrusively as she can:: ::Quietly:: CMO: Won't take long.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods politely to Senn::  CSO/CO:  It can wait a few moments...it will hurt just as badly in as out.  There may be other injuries that would make putting the arm back in...difficult.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Pulls himself off the ladder and lays panting for a moment, then begins crawling back toward engineering.::

ACTION:  Torpedoes impact against the Vroa fleet.  Two more scouts explode.  Fighters continue to assault the last of the Wolf class vessels keeping it completely occupied.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::After a moment, simply nods her head and moves towards the bridge escape hatch.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Armor is continuing to hold at eight percent.  I've diverted some of our shield energy toward its recharge.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slips the device back in its pocket of her bag and removes a hypospray. Stares at the dosage for a prolong moment, before adjusting it, then applies it to T'Shara's shoulder:: CO: No more risk of it getting worse, and the pain should be most manageable.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CMO: Do you have something in that kit that I could use to help you doctor?

ACTION:  Vroa vessels begin to warp out of the Bajoran system.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Muttering under her breath she begins the long climb down to the next level where she types in her code to exit.  From there she makes her way to a jefferies tube and the long climb down.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  More Vroa vessels are leaving the field or have changed course in order to do so.  ::Scans for a total count::

ACTION:  As the wolf class begins to warp the fighters use the remaining weapons for a single attack.   The Wolf class jumps to warp then instantly explodes.   Sensors show zero Vroa in the System.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::With tempered relief::  CO:  The system shows clear, Captain, but we should attempt to use the visors to confirm what our sensors tell us.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Slowly, deliberately:: CO: I think I have it under control, Captain. I don't want to distract you from the safety of the ship. The mission.  ::Looks behind them:: Excuse me, Sir. I'd like to see to Commander Damrok.
Admiral Cosgrave says:
COM: USS Claymore: Claymore....  Static.  This is Admiral Cosgrave.   You are to report....   Report to Vulcan immediat....   Under attack by Vroa.  I repeat make best speed to Vulcan....
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CTO:  Errrr...  I'm afraid mine didn't survive my flight across the bridge.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Stops on his way back and lays down taking a breather.  His chest hurt from the crawl.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Lets out a long breath at the ending of the battle, resting forward against his console slightly::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Thank you doctor.  Let me know if I can assist you until medical can arrive.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Bows her head slightly, knowing she can't stop her::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Transmission incoming from Admiral Cosgrave.  ::Pipes it through to the main speakers::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Orders fighters recovered and surviving pilots picked up::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Thank you, Captain.  ::Stands slowly from her seat, and makes her way deliberately around the command station, toward tactical:: CTO: Commander.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Damrok::  CTO: aye, Commander.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::The advantage of climbing down, is one could slide... if they were careful.  Especially as she did not want a broken neck::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CAG:  Mine...I'm not sure.  ::Fusses with it a bit, but shifts it atop his head at Raeyld's arrival::  CMO:  Doctor.  Thank you for coming.  ::Winces a bit, and does not move::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods only with her eyes and opens the tricorder, performing a scan::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Listens to the message from Cosgrave, raises an eyebrow and with a breath::  CTO: I guess there is our answer as to where the remaining Vroa headed.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Do we have warp engines?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Looks around::  CO/CTO:  We aren't exactly in fighting trim right now.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Good question Commander.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Slumps further against his console for a moment at hearing the transmission, before gingerly standing straight again, thinking better of a nearly-attempted head shake::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG/CTO: Aye, Mr. Hawk.  But, I don't think we have the option to sit around while we make repairs either.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Reviews the tricorder, blinking a few times as she struggles to maintain her focus:: ::In a very "staying out of the way" manner:: CTO: Until you have four hours for sickbay, I'll stabilize you with some initial treatment, followed by resetting the shoulder, then additional treatment. It will...
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Counting the levels in her head, she comes to a stop in engineering and dashes inside.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Once your pilots are recovered and accounted for let me know.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Rubs her forehead a moment:: CTO: ...it will relieve your pain, return some functionality, and prevent complications.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Continues down the jeffries tube finally slipping out onto the floor of main engineering,.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CTO: I can do it while you are working.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Nods::  CO:  Total of 9 fighters lost...  almost one full squadron.  We were able to rescue three of the pilots.  All fighters recovered and all pilots accounted for.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CTO: I believe the warp core is offline.  So I would say that is probably a no to your question.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Just begins working on Damrok's shoulder, without actually waiting for a response::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Hearing someone behind her she turns quickly, prepared for defense... only to relax when she sees Theron.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Noted Mr. Hawk.  Let your squadron know they did excellent work out there.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  I will, Captain.  Thank you.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::With a half smile she turns to look for the chief.  Seeing him in the midst of things, she makes her way over.::

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances over at Hawk and bows her head slightly::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::After taking a breath he starts to stand looking around wincing at the pain.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Nods to T'Shara, then focuses on the other pressing matter, knowing there is little else he can practically do at the moment::  CMO:  It's all right -- I can go to sickbay, if you like.  Kytides can handle things here.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Nods her head as she hears that it would take half day for the warp core to come back on line... that the PPPD had caused it to shutdown due to power overload.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods again with her eyes:: CTO: I'll see to Mr. Kytides, then.  Thank you, Commander.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Nods at Damrok's words and squints his eyes in discomfort, preparing to take over main tactical::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Turns around to Raeyld::  CTO/CMO: I think that would be a good idea.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Moves over toward the Chief noticing Senn there and approaches, listening to the report of damages.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Glancing over at Theron, she nods her head, indicating she was listening.  Everything was otherwise fine.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Lieutenant, you have tactical, so long as Doctor Raeyld clears you.  If not, call for Kingston.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CMO:  Don't forget your own treatment, Commander.  ::in a serious tone::  I imagine we're going to need you in good shape when we get to Vulcan.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Have your squadron make repairs and recharge in preparation for Vulcan.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Already commenced, Captain.  We'll be ready.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Thank you, Lieutenant. I'll be sure not to forget.  ::Meticulously slides open her tricorder, initiating a scan of Kytides::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Gingerly makes his way toward the turbolift::  CMO:  I will see you in Sickbay later on, Doctor.  ::Passes off the bridge into a waiting car and disappears from sight::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Just switches his console to primary with Raeyld already checking him::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Presses a few buttons and activates the comm::  COM: Deep Space 9::  USS Claymore requests supply ship.  We will transfer ordinance requirements need within the Bajoran system within the next twelve hours.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, with your permission, I'll go to the flight deck to supervise repairs.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Granted Mr. Hawk.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Steps into the TL and heads for the flight deck::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Doctor once you are through with Lieutenant Kytides please report to Sickbay.
Deep Space 9 Ops says:
COM: USS Claymore:  Received request.  Resupply ship departing and in routing to your postion arriving in 6 hours.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
COM: Deep Space 9: Acknowledged.  Claymore out
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Quietly folds the tricorder::
