ARC 14 - Blowing Kisses in the Wind - Mission 23 - 11418.04

Summary:  Commander Damrok and Commander Senn are exploring the automated manufacturing facilities deep blow the primitive world.  Large scale experimental torpedoes are being manufactured with the same combination of dangerous ingredients as found on the outpost.  The Claymore has moved near one of the six torpedo ships and the Captain has ordered a boarding party to assemble in the transporter room.  Their goal is to investigate the vessel and determine the best course of action.  They also hope to recover the Jarrow which was found on the ship as the Claymore scanned it.

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

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Using Damrok's back in her peripheral vision as her guide, she looks at her tricorder as they pass rooms that might be labs or offices.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Standing in the turbolift as Tevis steps on-board. Nods briefly::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Pauses at one room and turns for a more direct scan.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Continues slowly down the corridor, his phaser raised in his left hand::
MO Ens Tevis says:
#::Nods to Raeyld, tricorder already open and scanning as the lift heads up::

@ACTION:  One of the large containers dematerialize within the transporter.

OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Has his tricorder out checking the lift's status and noting the higher than average hours.  He makes a note to move up the maintenance regime.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Draws a breath, feeling the last lingering effects the sedative slipping away::
MO Ens Tevis says:
#::Taps at the tricorder:: CMO: Clear.  ::Turns the tricorder on Fong::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
#::Enters the transporter room, having drawn a phaser and tricorder.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps out of the turbolift and walks down the corridor making her way for the transporter room.::
MO Ens Tevis says:
#::Taps once more at the tricorder, and nods to Fong:: OPS: Clear.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Exits the turbolift and walks toward the transporter room while triple checking her bag::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods:: MO: Thank you, Doctor. You may return to acting Sickbay.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Commander...
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Stops in his tracks and takes a brief look over his shoulder::  CSO:  What do you have?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
#::Glances at the chronometer and frowns.  Pretty sure the AT was for today....  ::
TO PO2 Fellgar says:
#::In the transporter room, waiting quietly::
CNS Lt Foster says:
#::Steps off a lift and heads down the corridor toward the transporter room, wondering where they were off to.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Walks into the transporter room and looks around at everyone assembled:: CAG: Hey, Captain. I'm sorry about earlier. How's your head?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Glances briefly at Fong, and subconsciously touches her combadge, before the door opens onto the bridge.  She quickly nods to Tevis and steps out onto the bridge, a quick glance around to see if the Captain is still there, needing a report from her::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
#::On the bridge at the operations center listening quietly to the beeps and blips of the consoles around him::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  I do not know.  ::Motions to the biohazard suits.::  The door is sealed, but I am not reading any locking system.  ::Raises an eyebrow::  Male strength?  ::Looks at the door.::  readings do not even suggest it is actively locked.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps into the transporter room just behind Stevens.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
#::Smiles::  MO:  I think I owe you an apology, not the other way around.
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Looks over the tricorder one last time then at the MO almost not noticing them before he heads out onto the bridge::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks over to the weapons locker and grabs a type 2 phaser and tricorder.  Then joins the others near the transporter padd::
CNS Lt Foster says:
#::Enters the transporter room seeing the others already there.::  All:  Sorry I'm late seemed that all the lifts were being used and had to wait for one.  ::Steps over to the locker and grabs some gear before moving to the padd.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO: Can you get any clear readings?  If we have to go in...we'll go in.  ::Looks at the biohazard suits, clearly not thrilled, but safely stopping the assembly line takes precedence over anything else at this point::
TO PO2 Fellgar says:
::Makes a note of the weapons that the away team is taking so he can put in a restock order once they are away::
MO Ens Stevens says:
#::Smiles at Hawk while grabbing a phaser:: CAG: Well, I am the one who dropped you...
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Nods at the CO as she approaches::  CO:  What's the plan, Captain?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Takes one of the suits down and starts to slip it on.::  XO: Pretty much what I told you.  It may be a dead end or it is possible there is something we can use in it.  So far we have hit a blank wall.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Steps forward onto the bridge, not seeing the Captain, or any other Lieutenant Commander or higher rank present, and instead looks for whoever appears to be in charge otherwise::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Hawk::  CNS: It's ok Counselor I just arrived myself.
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
#::Looks from Fong to Raeyld for a moment, then stands:: CMO: Ma'am.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  Then let's go.  ::Starts to don one of the biohazard suits::  TO2:  Hold here and guard the entrance.  ::Pulls the biohazard suit on in rather short order, though it feels a bit flimsy::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Doing a quick check, she looks from the commander to the door, ready to enter::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG/CNS/MO: The plan is to get over to the torpedo ship and investigate.  Our scans have shown that the Jarrow may be on board.  If so we need to find it and get it back.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods:: aOPS: Lieutenant. The Captain asked me to take command in her absence. Status report?  ::Moves around the central area to the CO's seat and settles in there, ignoring the flashbacks::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Moves towards the Operations console quietly, then stops and diverts to the bridge replicator:: Replicator: Snail juice. No shells. CMO: Can I get you something?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Quietly::  CO:  The Jarrow's there.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Hands his phaser to Senezem for a moment while he stands in, braces himself, and begins to pull on the right hand side of the door::

@ACTION: The door doesn't budge.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG/CNS/MO: But, we need to be careful of the crew that are on the ship.  We don't know what we're up against.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Frowning, scans for away to open the door that is not obvious.::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: We found a ship. She is well armed but does not seem to be aware of our location.  We also detected the Jarrow.
MO Ens Stevens says:
CO: Phaser setting, ma'am?

@ACTION:  Automated systems activate near the door and scan both Damrok and Senn.  The door quickly slides open under its own power.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Briefly rolls the insides of her mouth about, tasting the dryness there:: OPS: Water, please.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Pauses and looks at Damrok::  XO:  Ummm... I did not do it.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@TO2:  Take the other si--  ::Pauses a moment as the doors slide open on his own, then somewhat fumblingly, takes his phaser back from Senezem and looks forward into the room::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps up onto the transporter padd, adjusting her phaser accordingly::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Takes a step and a half inside, crouching slightly::  CSO:  ...Seems clear.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods:: aOPS: Are we able to get any readings on what life signs might be within? And where is the Captain's Away Team headed?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
MO: Heavy stun for now.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Takes his position on the pad, adjusting his phaser::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Nods and takes her place on the pad::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances over at Hawk, quietly::  CAG: Are you going to be ok Mr. Hawk?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Simply nods, expressionless::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Picks up the orange colored drink.:: Replicator: Water, cold. Two ice cubes.  ::He picks that up as well and walks over to the CO's chair, waiting for Kendal to finish his report::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods, not sure that she believes him but let's it go for now.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Follows, trying to ignore both the ticking clock in the back of her mind and her natural curiosity.::

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks over at the chief::  Energize
TC PO2 Fellgar says:
::Slides his fingers up and down the touch sensitive sliders and energizes::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Continues slowly inside, his phaser raised::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Glances down at her tricorder::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Glances up to accept the water from Fong, with the slightest not-not-a-smile, quickly taking a sip::

@SCENE:  The Lab contains large containment areas through the center of the room.  Three other labs are aligned near the back were each of the three materials are manufactured before moving to the torpedoes.  Near the far left wall there are 4 terminal stations each one displaying automated information screens.

aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: Twelve life signs on board.  The vessel is well sensor shielded, and carries a minimum of one hundred forty torpedo launchers.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Seeing the stations, she makes her way quickly over to it.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Nods as Senn gets herself into place, and continues slowly pacing toward the back, his phaser and eyes panning across the room...after a moment, flips open his tricorder and begins scanning the containment areas::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#aOPS: And is this the vessel that had attacked us before, under command of Takit?  And any lifesigns on board the Jarrow?  ::Sets the glass of water in the convenient Captain's Cup Holder, and pulls the command console around so she can begin checking on auxiliary statuses::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Sadly, no question about it... Federation.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Activates the screen and looks it over.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Materializes on the ship, she quickly takes account of their surroundings::
aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: No ma'am it is not, and no life signs on the Jarrow as near as we can tell.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  It is no less than we expected.  ::Remains silent for a moment as he continues to walk slowly through the room::  However...that might mean we will be able to more easily access the information.  Do what you can.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Quickly takes in the scene and moves to a defensive position her phaser raised and ready::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Moves to the ops station, and flicks through the screens while Kendal handles the report. Sipping the unusual smelling beverage::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Scans the information on the screen.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Her tricorder in her left hand she begins scanning::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Glances around as his surroundings change, pulling out his tricorder.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Turns slightly toward Senn, but speaks mostly to himself::  CSO:  If these containment fields fail...this plant will take out the planet.  Power is routed from the thermal reactors....
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Mutters::  XO:  Yea... had had considered that as even an option of last resort.  But... ::Shrugs::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::As he takes in the surroundings, Hawk pales slightly, his hand tightening on the grip of his phaser as if it had a will of its own::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks around the torpedo bay.  Running scans of some of the torpedoes::

@ACTION:  The computer terminal springs to life as Senn begins to see data on the torpedo vessels, the torpedoes, the manufacturing facility and then the realization that this is the last shipment of torpedoes.....

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@By the prophets... ::Scanning, tries to find where the others were sent as well as a way to shut down the facility.::

SCENE:  The Awayteam beams into the vessel.  The huge open room spans 100 meters in both directions ( Fore and aft)  Torpedo tubes and automated loaders line the port and starboard hull.   Massive conveyors cover the flooring where torpedoes are currently waiting for loading.

SCENE:  Tricorder scans show the Jarrow about 100 meters to the aft in what can be assumed as a small shuttle bay.   100 meters forward is the bridge and were 12 life signs are detected.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Having made his sweep of the room, come up behind Senn, though with his back mostly to her so he can keep watch::  CSO:  What do you have?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Without looking up::  XO:  Commander, this is the last shipment recorded.  Trying to find out where the others went as well as where this one is to go... a stop button would be nice as well.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#aOPS: Got it. Have we had any communication with the vessel? Who arrived first: us, or them?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::By force of will, loosens his hand from his phaser and pulls out this tricorder::  CO:  I would assume this ships internal sensors should be registering us, Captain.  Very possible we'll have company soon.
aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: No contact was made. Further we did not attempt contact. They arrived first.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CAG: Agreed.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  Do you want to assume they're hostile?

@ACTION:  Damrok’s tricorder begins to beep in a very this is important better view now kinda way...

MO Ens Stevens says:
::Lowers her phaser at Hawk's words but keeps a tight grip on it::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Grabbing her tricorder back up, she hits a few commands and begins to download general information.::  XO:  It would appear the torpedoes are beamed to a location and then transported to another.  If that information is here, it is not readily available.  Downloading what I can.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Quickly looks down::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods slowly:: aOPS/OPS: So, we're playing the waiting game?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Yes, Mr. Hawk we are going to consider anyone aboard hostile at this point.

@SCENE:  The tricorder is picking up a power build up in all three rectors for the facility as the last container is beamed away......

aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: The captain was trying to remain undetected, yes.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Nods and mutters::  Good plan
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  I found a program that should be able to tell us where the torpedoes were to go as they are preprogrammed.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@Aloud:  ::Quietly::  No, no no....
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Looks over the display:: CMO: Not sure.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG/CNS/MO: We need to get to the bridge.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  They're sweeping their tracks.  The reactors are going to self-destruct.  We have to go, now.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Looks at his tricorder for a moment, then points::  CO:  Looks like it's that way.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Tries to chase a slight smile from the corner of her lips and raises her phaser again watching the door toward the bridge::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Notes data on vessels, torpedoes, on the facility and most of the construction information... maybe all.  They should be so lucky.  Looks up...::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  But... what about the people on this planet?

ACTION:  As the Captain gives the command to head to the bridge phaser fire rips past the away team.

MO Ens Stevens says:
CO: Should I lead out, ma'am?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Immediately rushes to the door::  TO2:  Set up the transport enhancers.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Dives into cover again and starts to return fire::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG/CNS/MO: Once we get there we need to............  ::Quickly falls down behind the conveyor belt taking cover::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Dives behind cover and pulls his phaser::  CO:  Good call on the hostile thing, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks up returning fire, and ducks back down.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Turns around::  CSO:  We have to make the call, Commander.  If we stay and try to shut down the reactors, we may not get this information out.  If we know where the torpedoes are going, that's our only chance to stop them.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Dives for the nearest cover a little worried when he sees it’s one of the torpedoes, hopefully they didn't hit it.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks to Hawk with a raised eyebrow as she continues to fire::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Leans out and fires a quick shot in the direction of the incoming fire::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Mutters::  There must be someone to stop this... at least minimalize the damage...  ::Holds up her tricorder::  I have it all here.  You can take it...
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  If you can think of something right now that is a surefire method to keep this planet from going sky high, then we can try, but...we don't have time for grand plans at the rate the power is spiking.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  That's a non-starter, Commander, and you knew full well that I was going to tell you it's a non-starter before you said it.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Glances over his shoulder briefly as Senezem reports the transporter enhancers are set::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Pulls up the schematics of the plant.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Has his tricorder run a quick estimate of how much time they've got::

@ACTION:  Tricorders indicate 2 hours until complete matter / anti matter reaction.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#aOPS: All right. See what you can do to get through the sensor interference, without revealing our position.   And prepare an update on the status of our repair efforts.   OPS: See if there's any way we can make contact with the away team without significant risk of giving away our or their position.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  No way... but one... ::Bites her lip as she turns around.::  Possible.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Fires back and shifts position trying to find better cover.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Moves positions keeping cover as she fires::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  The Claymore is possibly nearby.  We have six large transporters here... we could beam as many as possible aboard into the holodeck... unconscious.  We could later create a holoworld for them until we can figure something else out.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Sees an opportunity and lays down a burst of shots, moving forward to new cover::

ACTION:  Phaser fire continues from down the corridor.  At this point it doesn't seem that they are trying to hit anything....  Just stall for time.

SCENE:  Torpedoes begin to load into the torpedo tubes.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks over to Hawk::  CAG/CNS/MO: We need to stop those torpedoes
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  We have two hours... or less.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Looks back::  CO:  Three phasers on overload and beam out?
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Is startled as the torpedo he was next to begins to move.  Glancing down he looks at the conveyors, looking for a weak spot he could take out to stop them.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Looks over his shoulder toward Senezem with some impatience...he doesn't like the thought of abandoning a primitive civilization to the devices of a group of madmen any more than she does, but in the end they have two possible cataclysms and not a great deal of time::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Tries to lay down some kind of suppressing fire:: Self: Note to self, take a type 3 next time

ACTION:  Phaser fire comes from the Aft end of the room.  This time disruptor blasts past the Claymore's awayteam towards the forward bridge.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::With some surprise::  CSO:  If that's your simple solution, I would hate to hear the grand plan I advised against.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Sees his expression.::  XO:  Two hours sir... we could at least save some of them.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: I want to find out what we can about this ship and their target first Hawk
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Startled, looks back::  CO:  Crossfire, Captain...  but it looks like they're shooting at the guys up there.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  Well, we certainly aren't surprising anyone.  Why not have the Clay beam us onto the bridge, or at least a lot closer than this?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Rubs the bridge of his nose::  CSO:  ...There's no way to stop the reactors?

ACTION:  The aft wall explodes from the Jarrow’s phasers.  More disruptors open fire from the aft section passing by the Claymore's crew.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Sorry sir... not from what I can discover.  Maybe if we had more time... but we do not.  I can spend it trying to figure it out, or I can spend the time setting up a transport pattern to get as many people off as possible... assuming we can make contact with the Claymore.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Rolls out of the blast and reaches for her phaser trying to pick targets::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Spots what he thinks might be the main control box for the conveyor system and fires his phaser at it.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Quietly, with some resignation::  Self/CSO:  I can't believe I'm--  ::Closes his eyes a moment::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Ducks out of the way looking back at the wall explodes::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  ...We need Claymore if it's going to work.  If we can't get them, or they're otherwise occupied, nothing else matters.  If you can reach them, we'll proceed from there.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Not sure who's in the Jarrow, but they're shooting at the right folks.  Concentrates his own fire forward::
aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#::Moves to a secondary science station:: CMO: I am detecting phaser fire onboard. Also the vessel appears to be powering its weapons.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Fires a few quick bursts off before moving onto the side and looking back at the away team for injuries::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Her smile hidden behind a sigh of relief and the biosuit she simply nods.::  XO:  Understood.
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Nods and sits at the operations console, plugging the earpiece into his ear before sending a quiet communications chirp to the away team's comm badges.  He then waits quietly for a reply unsure of their situation::::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Exhales with a slight rumble:: aOPS: Very well, I take it "undetected" has ceased to be an option. Can you determine what its target is? Us?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG/CNS/MO: Move out.  Get to the bridge.  The Jarrow seems to be helping so let's take advantage of it.  I don't know who it is but I'm not going to wait to find out.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Commander... I cannot access the shuttles transporters here, but I can those here.  While I am working on this, I need you to contact the ship.  Time is literally of the essence here.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Dodges the phaser fire, as she continues to take cover and fire making her way down the corridor::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Shrugs, then steps out, firing as he picks his way from cover to cover, moving forward::
TO Lt Kingston says:
#::Arrives on the bridge to relieve the tactical rotation, checking in with Mornal briefly before manning primary tactical::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Moves from cover to cover ahead of the team trying to suppress the bridge as much as possible::
OPS LtJG Kendal says:
#::Taps a few buttons, then a few more not familiar with the sensor displays:: CMO: I...can't tell yet, but I'm not reading a weapon's lock yet.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#aOPS: Can you tell if these torpedoes match the signatures of the one that destroyed the station with radiation?
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Begins moving forward keeping to the sides of the room as they advance toward the bridge.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#TO: Lieutenant, prepare to take us to Red Alert.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Takes a deep breath, then looks to her levelly::  CSO:  I have your back on this one, Commander...but if it comes to it and I give the word to go, I need to know that you'll do what I ask of you.

ACTION:  Hawk manages to wound one of the crew guarding the bridge.  The crewman falls to the deck.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Turns to look up at him.  Takes a deep breath::  XO:  Aye, sir.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Allows a momentary smile, then heads back outside and activates the transporter enhancer::  TO2:  Stay here.  If anything happens, I need to know immediately.

ACTION:  Stevens and Foster follow suit each hitting a crewmen down the long corridor.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Remotely activates the runabout’s transporter::
aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: Aye ma'am they match our simulated readings.
TO Lt Kingston says:
#::A bit off guard::  CMO:  Aye, Sir, standing by.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stays to the sides with the others, continues firing ahead and they progress::

ACTION:  Damrok dematerializes and appears on the Danube.

OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Frowns at the lack of response:: *Away Team* Claymore to away team, we are reading weapons fire onboard.  Please advise as to your situation.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#aOPS: I was afraid of that.   TO: Red alert, raise shields.  aOPS: Prepare evasive maneuvers.  OPS: Open a commline with the ship.

ACTION:  T'Shara drops one of the Vessels crew.    Crew count now stands at 8.

TO Lt Kingston says:
#CMO:  Signaling red alert, aye.  ::Taps a few buttons and switches to her tactical readouts as opposed to the simple short range sensor display::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Nods at the CMO and opens a broad spectrum hail directed at the ship:: CMO: You are on.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
$::Moves to the helm console and unlocks it, immediately setting up an encrypted channel -- then pauses a moment to consider the ramifications of breaking radio silence::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Quietly works what she has.  Mutters under her breath::  Claymore be nearby... oh, and not busy.  And no... I am not praying to the prophets, besides they are too far away...
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *Claymore*: We are under heavy weapons fire.  Making our way to the bridge.  Torpedoes are preparing to launch and we need to stop them.  Someone seems to be helping us aboard the Jarrow.

@ACTION:  Sensors detect Torpedo launching from the lead vessel about 1 LY from here.   140 torpedoes are now active.

aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#::Looks at the CMO for a long moment then brings the helm controls up on his screen.  He picks an evasive pattern at random:: TO: Loading evasive pattern um... delta.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Continues running down the long corridor, as she fires another blast::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#COM: Vessel: This is the USS Claymore. You will power down your weapons immediately.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
$::Slowly reaches forward with his left hand, exhaling deeply, and touches the appropriate button::  COM: Claymore:  ...Damrok to Claymore, respond please.  ::Sends his encrypted data tag on the message so they know it's not forged::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#CMO: Away team reports under heavy fire, and that the Jarrow appears to be assisting.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Moves slightly behind and to the side of the Captain, trying to lay down covering fire to avoid fried Vulcan::
TO Lt Kingston says:
#aOPS:  Aye, evasive pattern delta.  ::Prepares weapons, which have fully charged and loaded, then looks to Raeyld a moment::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#OPS: Good, I suppose. Just tell them to watch their backs...literally. Your enemy's enemy is not always your friend.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Charges the last 10 meters to the bridge opening, her knife barred, lunging at the first target she sees and trying to disarm him::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Pulls up his phaser as Stevens dashes ahead into his line of fire barely missing her.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Nods slightly at the CMO:: *CO* Commander Raeyld has advised caution in regards to your current enemy's enemy.  Do you require reinforcements?
Crewmon Hart says:
::Catches the MO and using her motion to slam her into the bridge doors head first.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Spares a moment for an incredulous look at the MO, then fires at Hart::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Pauses slightly at another beep, and pulls the information up on his screen.:: CMO: I have a codded transmission coming in from Commander Damrok.  Should I respond?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Opens fire at the Crewmen::
Crewman Hart says:
::Turn back to fire then is hit by Hawk and T'Shara.::

ACTION:  The remaining crew retreat to the bridge and seal the doors.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
$::Fiddles with some settings arbitrarily, trying to create enough background noise to wash out the ability to trace his comm signal::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Glances at T'Shara for a moment::  CO:  What is it about our medical staff.  Sheesh!  ::Continues firing::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Breaks off firing as the bridge doors shut::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Eyes widen slightly:: OPS: Yes, immediately.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Taps her commbadge::  *Claymore*: Aye, send the marine fire teams over to our location immediately.
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Brings the comm to the forefront and speaks calmly:: COM: Unknown: XO: Claymore here Commander. Go ahead.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at Hawk and continues firing::  CAG: Good question Mr. Hawk
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#TO: Prepare to fire on their torpedo launchers. Bring us in close, if necessary, and prepare to unleash a full volley. We cannot allow a torpedo launch.
OPS Lt Fong says:
#CMO: The captain is requesting fast deploy of a marine fire team ma'am.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#OPS: Do it.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
$COM: Claymore:  This is Damrok.  I need...I don't know what your situation is, but...I need to know if you can fabricate a reality for a primitive civilization inside of an hour and a half.  ::As the words leave his mouth, finds he is in complete disbelief that he has said them::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Signals the marine detachment to prepare and deploy a fire team to the hostile vessel with a great quickness::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#OPS: See if you can beam the marines in opposing the lifesigns the Captain's team is fighting...put the enemy in a pincer.

#ACTION:  Damrok’s finds that the communications on this vessel is using a much better encryption code and sending the data on a newer subspace frequency not encountered before.

OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Listens for a moment:: COM: Unknown: XO: Population and location?

ACTION:  The Jarrow stops firing as do the disruptors.  The aft section goes quiet...

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  Captain.  While you wait for the Marines, would you like me to investigate the Jarrow?

SCENE:  The torpedo launcher tubes close and the conveyors stop.

aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: The weapons systems seem to be powering down.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Turns slightly from her current location as the weapons fire goes quiet.::  CAG: Sure take the Counselor with you.  I will stay here with Stevens and wait for the Marine team.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
MO: Are you all right doctor?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Nods at the Captain::  CO:  Roger that.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CNS:  Theron...  ready to go meet our new friends?  ::Begins making his way back, making sure to stay very close to cover...  just in case::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Looks up at T’Shara, bells still ringing in her ears:: CO: Yes, Ma'am. Sorry about that. I thought I had him
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Visibly relaxes....slightly:: aOPS: And phaser fire within the ship?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
MO: It's ok Stevens but next time wait for backup instead of just charging in.
aOPS LtJG Kendal says:
#CMO: It appears to have stopped.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Nods.::  CAG:  Sounds good.  ::Follows Hawk toward the Jarrow still holding his phaser ready.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Glances over at the CNS::  CNS:  Theron...  let's not look like we're walking back to attack.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Stands up and salutes:: CO: Yes, Ma'am
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CNS::  Anyway....  if we're going to take on the Jarrow with hand phasers....  well, it'll be a short battle.
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::While waiting for an answer from the XO::  CMO: Commander Damrok is requesting that we 'fabricate a reality for a primitive civilization'. I am getting more details now.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
MO: At ease doctor.  The marine fire team should be here shortly and they can help us get into the bridge.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#::Nods:: OPS: Determine if the away team needs any further security or medical assistance.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#OPS: Depends on the size...we could rig something in the holodeck?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
$COM: Claymore:  Too many; ::References his sensor board:: four light years out.  But the distance...can possibly be mitigated.  ::Contemplates the absurdity of this idea a moment, but his mind is presently racing to fast to think of any alternatives::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Nods, putting down his phaser.:: CAG:  Just wish we knew who was back there.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Keeps his eyes ahead::  CNS:  So do I, Theron...  you have no idea how much.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
#OPS: And can we get his location?
OPS Lt Fong says:
#CMO: That was...::stops talking and raises a hand to his ear piece.:: COM: Unknown: XO: How many people Commander?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
$COM: Claymore:  We'll be pushing evac capacity, but I have access to transporters to speed things along.

CNS Lt Foster says:
::Glances over at Sky curious but doesn't ask right now, making a note to ask him about it later.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
#::Continues from before:: CMO: The holodeck was my thoughts.  He says he is four light years away, and reports the population will tax our evac capacity.
