ARC 14 - Blowing Kisses in the Wind - Mission 29 - 11405.13

Claymore Summary: The Jarrow has made a high speed emergency landing into shuttle bay 2 rendering the Jarrow and the shuttle bay useless until maintenance can make repairs.  However with minor medical issues aside all aboard the Jarrow have survived the landing.  The Claymore continues to fire on the Conqueror as they enter the unexplored nebula.  Shields and sensors begin to drop as the Claymore moves deeper into the Nebula.

Okanagan Summary: The Okanagan Danube shuttle managed to land on the Conqueror with the help of Commander Davis who seems to have been placed on the Conqueror for some yet unspecified mission.  Currently Davis is returning fire down the flight bay to several Section 31 security officers as the Okanagan begins to land.

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

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Continues to lay down short bursts of suppressing fire with the phasers as he brings the runabout down::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Weapon in hand, she opens the shuttle door.::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Leans against the orange container, pausing for a moment::

@ACTION:  Heavy phaser fire wildly flies from down the corridor slamming against the Okanagan's forward shields.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Glances down at his instruments::  CMO:  We're well into the nebula, Commander.  As expected, we're starting to lose shields and sensors.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Glances out the door, keeping most of her body behind the wall.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Fires phasers down the corridor again before touching down, and immediately reroutes auxiliary power to the forward shields::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::The doors are open on the Jarrow, T'Shara helps Kytides out into the shuttle bay followed by Doctor Stevens::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Pokes around the container and fires a burst again::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Try to keep us on their back - giving us a visual, and denying them one.  ::Slaps her combadge:: *MedTeam*: Unless she's dying, you need to get Captain T'Shara cleared and on the bridge, stat. 

@ACTION: The Okanagan's phasers cut through the thin corridor walls slicing huge burnt gashes into the walls.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Glances at the operations station for a moment then back at the engineering panel he is at:: CMO: Shields non-functional. Transferring power as needed.  Hull armor still operational.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Mutters::  Come on Commander...
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Turns and looks back at the CMO, one eyebrow raised:: CMO:  Sooooo...  keep a line of sight on them, but don't let them see us?  ::Grins::  Roger that.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Looks over at TO to see him ready to leave behind their present::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Leans against the container, peering out ever so slightly to see any movement on the other side of the cargo bay::
MO Ens Tevis says:
*CMO*: Yes ma'am--!   ::Winces as she speaks, and pushes herself toward T'Shara, Stevens, and Kytides, pulling her tricorder open:: CO: Captain!

@ACTION:  More phaser fire returns from down the corridor.  Blindly hitting walls and an occasional strike against the shields of the Danube.

TO Ens Senezem says:
@::Gives Senn a thumbs-up::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks up at Tevis::  MO: Ensign.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::At the tactical station on the bridge.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Nods at him with a slight smile and looking back out the door, fires a few shots high enough not to hit Davis.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Continues firing on the pursuing vessel whenever he can get a lock.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CNS: If they pursue us into the nebula, prepare to continue focusing fire on the same spot, see if we can wear down an entry point.
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Sees the uniform, though doesn't recognize the officer in the fleeting moment he looked in that direction; he turns and immediately fires off another shot or two, though he's not targeting anything specifically::

@ACTION:  The Conqueror drops from warp just outside the Nebula and opens fire with all forward weapons directly into the nebula.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CMO:  ETA on them entering the nebula from last good readings is 2 minutes...  ::glances back::  IF they enter the nebula.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Noted. They're still faster than us...if they follow, we should see them soon. Keep an eye out.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
OPS: What's our shields and systems status?

@ACTION:  Phaser fire peppers the floor directly behind Davis as he makes a run for the Danube.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CMO:  Orrrrrr....  they could just sit outside the nebula and take pot shots at us.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks:: CMO: All shields are down due to nebula interference. Polarized armor is currently online.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
MO Tevis: I think the shoulder could be dislocated.  But, if it can wait I'm sure I'm needed on the bridge.  ::Looks to the other two officers::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Returns fire as he dashes towards the Danube::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Commander, how much time do we have left?
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Nods to the CMO, keeping his eye on the sensors.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Taps short bursts of the phasers to lay down more cover fire::  CSO:  Until?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  The shields go back up.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Glances back out the door.::  XO:  I See Davis...

ACTION:  Torpedoes fly past the Claymore as their engine sounds bellow through the Claymore's interior.   Phaser strikes slam against the aft section of the Claymore damaging the port nacelle which beings to vent plasma.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks the sensor readings:: CMO/CNS: Watch for pressure waves.  A ship that big will have a bow wake that...::stops as the ship pitches::
MO Ens Tevis says:
::Clears her throat a little:: CO: Yes, uh, ma'am, that was the impression I got.  I can do a Code Pink on our way to the bridge, if you feel stable on your feet.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Kneels down to make herself a smaller target and then places herself in a position to lay down fire, avoiding Davis.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Rocks forward from the torpedo hit::  CMO:  Yep...  they took the sit outside the nebula and take potshots at us option.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Stumbles toward the Ensign trying to keep her eyes clear::

@ACTION:  The USS Conqueror continues to wait just outside the Nebula....

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: See if you can triangulate their position by mapping the bearings the weapons come in on from several positions.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  I think they already have them.  ::Checks the short range board::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: And make some distance, if they're just going to sit there.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CMO:  I have a bearing to the Conqueror....  don't need an exact position to move away.  ::Punches a few buttons::  Moving to the far side of the nebula from them.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
OPS: Can we use some sensor probes to our advantage, now that we're at sublight speeds?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Forward that bearing to the Counselor.
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Hits the deck behind another series of containers, turning back towards the incoming fire::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  MO: That will be fine Tevis.  ::Reaches out with her other arm to help stabilize Stevens:  Perhaps you should take a look at the doctor first and come see me on the bridge when you are through.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Nods at the CNS::  CMO:  Done
OPS Lt Fong says:
CMO: Not without losing a torpedo tube for a reload cycle, and given the density of the nebula, I wouldn't count on a particularly long life for the probe.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Seeing those following, takes more careful aim, her phaser set for high stun.::

ACTION: 12 new contact appear on the Claymore's SRS.   The contacts are very fuzzy and approaching fast.

MO Ens Tevis says:
::With a momentary flash of extreme discomfort:: CO: I'm afraid I can't release you to the bridge until you've been cleared.  ::Looks back through the door, to see Jennings joining them:: MO: Doctor Jennings can help with your arm.
CNS Lt Foster says:
CMO:  I'm picking up new contacts on sensors, a dozen of them.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Has a bad feeling about this.::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Waits for the flash of the phaser, then fires off another two shots in that direction::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Checks the transporters to see if they can get a lock now that Davis is in the bay::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Can we dodge them? Outrun them?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Looks at the Ensign, sure that something was said but not sure by whom or even what words were used::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CNS: Get a target lock on them?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
OPS: Or a tractor lock on them?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CMO:  They are directly aft of us.  Maneuvering to port.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Turns the ship to port and moves perpendicular to the last bearing of the objects::
OPS Lt Fong says:
CMO: In this soup we'd have to be right on top of them to lock tractors...
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Tries to work past the interference from the nebula to get a lock on the approaching ships.::

ACTION: Sensors clear up as the objects begin to close on the Claymore.   Fighters.....    Phaser blasts slam against the Claymore's hull.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Tevis::  MO Tevis: Fine then clear me so I can go doctor.  If that means here or in the turbolift.
MO Ens Tevis says:
::Braces her hand to the bulkhead as the ship shakes beneath her feet:: CO: Turbolift, ma'am.  ::Nods to Stevens::  CO: This way.  ::Turns for the bay exit, and to the nearest turbolift::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  I can't get a transporter lock.  He's going to have to come to us -- or we have to go to him.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CMO:  Fighters attacking.  Recommend we launch the ready squadron
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
::Brushes up quickly beside Stevens, and lays a steady, practiced hand on her less-injured shoulder, guiding her toward the door as well:: MO: Ensign Stevens, this way.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Falls into Jennings arms and almost screams as her arm bends the wrong way again:: MO: I think it's broken, where's the surgery ward? Which flap?

ACTION:  The port lounge observation windows take a direct micro torpedo hit.  The lounge explodes then is sucked out into the nebula before emergency fields spring online.

CNS Lt Foster says:
::Locks on with phasers and fires at the approaching fighters.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Firing she hits someone.::  XO: The problem is lots of people apparently want to keep him.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Do it!
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Reaches out bracing herself as the ship shakes which made her more determined to get to the bridge.  Looks to Kytides and Stevens and nods, moving along with Tevis through the bay doors and to the nearest turbolift.::
MO Ens Tevis says:
::As soon as she and the Captain are within the turbolift, she begins to run her scans::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Gets up again and makes a break towards the Starfleet uniform he had previously seen::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Slams his hand down on the alert button.  In the fighter bay, the rapid launch alarm begins ringing as pilots fire up Lightning Squadron and begin launching::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Unloads the phaser capacitors in a sustained burst toward the enemy fire as Davis makes his break::

ACTION:  The Targeting computers manage to lock onto one of the fighters.  Ventral saucer phaser array fires several beams at a group of three fighters.  One take a direct hit and explodes from the blast.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CMO:  Lightning squadron launching.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@ :: Pulls back, to keep the area clear for Davis.::
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
::Raises an eyebrow, keeping his voice steady, as he does with patients he has a modicum of respect for:: MO: Relax, Doctor Stevens. We'll set and repair the break momentarily. In the meantime, lean on my arm as we go, and here's something to help with the pain.  ::Slips a hypospray from the outside pocket of his kit, and applies it to Stevens' neck::
CNS Lt Foster says:
CMO:  One fighter down.  ::Continues targetting the fighters, working to get past the interference.::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Breaks into a slide as he reaches the other end of the bay, trying to stay low and avoid the phaser fire::

@ACTION:  The extensive fire from the Okanagan obliterates the corridor attached to the shuttle bay.  Melted decking drips from the ceilings before the upper deck collapses down onto the security team.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*FltLt Cutter*  Lighting squadron engage incoming fighters.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Leans against the wall of the turbolift for a moment while Tevis begins scanning.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@:: Hearing the loud sound of a collapse, she looks out the door and raises an eyebrow.::  XO:  New deco?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Glances over at the CNS::  Make sure you tell the good guys from the bad guys, Theron.  Lightning is out there as well.

ACTION:  As the fighters make another pass on the Claymore fighters stream out of the forward fighter tubes.  They begin engaging the incoming fighters.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Prepare a new flight path, deeper into the nebula, but on an erratic trajectory. Get that information to the next wave of fighters. If anyone gets left behind providing us cover, they should know how to find us, despite sensors.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CMO:  Aye, ma'am.   ::Programs an evasive course deeper into the nebula, sending the planned trajectory to the fighter squadrons::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Leans onto Jennings hard and follows his lead down the corridor::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  ...Entirely new deck plans.  ::Checks his sensors to see if he can find the Conqueror's TIC, glancing at the phaser charge levels for an indication of when he can continue redecorating::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Seeing the area clear, she stands up and calls out.::  Davis:  People who are late miss the party.
CNS Lt Foster says:
CAG:  I won't fire unless I know what I'm shooting at.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::As the doors open on the turbolift, T'Shara straightens up and steps out onto the bridge.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
ALL: The Captain should be back soon, but I doubt we just want to run again. Prepare suggestions for her on how we might turn this around on the Conqueror.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*DCAG*:  Gillian, launch Javelins and have them join up with Lightning
MO Ens Tevis says:
::Follows T'Shara out onto the bridge, finishing her last scans::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Pauses for a moment, then pushes up to his feet::  CSO: Eh?
DCAG Warren says:
*CAG*  Roger that, Sky.  Javelins airborne in 4.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@Davis:  Hurry up.  I do not think anyone can get through that mess... but I really do not want to test that theory.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Pauses for a moment looking at Tevis and then makes her way over to Raeyld::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CNS: Mr. Hawk should have forwarded you a bearing for the Conqueror. At any time you can't target an enemy fire, direct fire toward the Conqueror.

ACTION:  Javelin squad begins to ready as the last of the lightning exit the Claymore.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Seeing the resistance cut off, for the moment, redistributes the auxiliary power to the phaser recharge rate, for the moment::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Doctor.  What's our status?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Even though it looks clear, she still has her phaser at the ready.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
CMO:  I'm having problems getting successful target locks, but will do what I can.  ::Watches sensors and waits for a lock and continues firing.::
MO Ens Tevis says:
::Snaps her tricorder shut:: CO: We'll need to see you again the moment we're out of battle mode. It can be on the bridge or your ready room, if needed.   Otherwise...  ::Looks to Raeyld, pensively:: CMO: Cleared.

ACTION:  Two more fighters explode in a hail of phaser fire from lightning squad fighters.   The Claymores aft phaser array fires at another group of enemy fighters catching one as it passes by the port nacelle.

Cmdr Davis says:
@::Moves quickly towards the others, not wanting to give fate a reason to blast a hole in his hindquarters::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Grins at Tevis, seeing the look on her face::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Tevis::  MO: Very good doctor.  Thank you.

@ACTION:  The Okanagan's weapons systems chime in that all forward phaser batteries are fully charged.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: We're in the nebula, Conqueror has taken position outside, had been firing at us, then sent twelve fighters after us. We've launched two waves of fighter to counter and are on an escape course deeper into the nebula. Second and following waves will know our flight plan; first does not.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks at the power readings, pumping some of the excess shield power to the targeting sensors, and short range sensors trying to clear the sensor displays::

@ACTION:  The Conqueror moves into the nebula swirling nebula particles around the hull.

CNS Lt Foster says:
CO/CMO:  The Conqueror is moving into the nebula
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Whispers::   Yes!
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
::With an arm carefully around Stevens to help her keep steady, he leads her into the cargobay currently serving as sickbay:: MO: There, now...  ::Guides her to a biobed:: Have a seat, Ensign.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Also, not sure if you were aware, but as of last contact, Commander Davis was aboard the Conqueror. We've been unable to get a transporter lock.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Locates main engineering and locks on with the phasers, holding his fire until the commander is aboard::  TO:  Ready on those torpedoes, Ensign.
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Reaches the shuttle::
TO Ens Senezem says:
@XO:  Just give the word, Sir.

@ACTION:  The Conqueror opens fire again with all forward weapons.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: I recognized the voice that came over the comm.  But, was unable to do anything from the Jarrow.  Unfortunately for now it sounds like that is the least of our concern Doctor.
CNS Lt Foster says:
CO:  Incoming fire from the Conqueror!

ACTION:  At the last second the Claymore's sensors pick up the massive wave of incomming fire.

MO Ens Tevis says:
::With the Captain's attention now diverted to more important (and not her!) matters, Tevis glances momentarily at Hawk, glad to see he's okay for now, then hands Raeyld a PADD and turns for the turbolift doors::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Without waiting for orders, puts the Claymore in a hard turn to stbd and a steep dive::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Evasive maneuvers  ::Grabs a hold of the nearby railing to brace for impact::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Accepts the PADD from Tevis, and turns to face the Captain, just as the ship goes into evasive maneuvers::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Shrugs with gallows humor::  CO:  Evasive maneuvers, aye ma'am
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Tries to remain sitting on the bed but soon falls flat on her back:: MO: How bad is, doc? I can keep the arm, right?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::As Davis comes through the door, she hits the button to close it.::  XO:  Time to fly.

SCENE:  The Claymore's starboard side is hit by phaser fire.  Advanced armor systems take the brunt of the damage as Helm fights to keep the Claymore from pitching to the port side.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Taps the thrusters to begin lifting off, and unleashes a sustained phaser blast again, this time aiming toward the Conqueror's reactor section::
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
::Notices Stevens seems kind of out of it, and doses her with another analgesic, pleased however he didn't have to sedate her and carry her to sickbay after that one outburst:: MO: Your arm will be fine, Ensign. Just a break. 
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::The door secure, she heads back for the co-pilot seat and sits down.::  XO:  What do you need from me?
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Fights the controls to maintain evasive maneuvers without leaving the nebula.  Makes a mental note to have the academy add THAT to the damn simulator::
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
MO: I can do this the slow, somewhat painful way. Or I can do it the quick, excruciatingly painful way.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  Sensors show we've entered a nebula.  The cloak may be ineffective.  I don't believe it will be safe to leave the Conqueror.  We should continue with targets of opportunity...here.

SCENE:  Torpedoes slam into the engineering hull exploding on impact.  Armor fragments explode out into space along with chunks of hull plate.  Decks 12-14 report massive hull damage and heavy casualties from the explosions.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Turns slightly toward the back::  Davis:  Any special places you know of to fire at?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Watches a cascade of sparks billow from the operations panel, and checks the power readings for the engineering station he is at while damage reports flood in:: CMO/CO: Hull breach Decks twelve through fourteen.  Multiple casualties reported.

@ACTION:  The Okanagan's phasers blast through walls and decking as they try to cut their way through meters of decking and support structures.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steadies Tevis as they both begin to lose their footing in the ship shakes, and makes a split decision:: CO: With your mission, Captain, I'll head to acting sickbay to assist with the casualties.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Nods as Davis reports he had been working in engineer and could offer some ideas, but they were nowhere not near engineering at the moment.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CMO: Aye, Raeyld.

MO Ens Stevens says:
::Looks at Jennings and blinks trying to focus:: MO: I don't want to spend any time in the MASH here, Doc. Just get me back out there. My brothers need me
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Takes a moment to extrapolate from the angle of the phaser strikes and torpedo hits where the attacks are coming from:: CNS: The target should be along the axis I am feeding you now. ::Forwards the probable angle of attack::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
CO:  Captain...  the Conqueror is in the nebula...  they should have similar shield and sensor issues to us.  This might be our best chance to attack.

ACTION:  Several more fighters are destroyed by the Javelins as they join up with the lightning squad.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Cuts the phaser burst as the capacitors nearly drain...diverts power to the aft shields in preparation for their egress::  TO:  Torpedoes away.  All:  Secure positions, everyone...this will be turbulent. ::Swings the Okanagan in a one-eighty, pointed toward the exit::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Pulls up the data sent from OPS::  OPS:  Got it.  ::Targets along the axis that Fong gave him and fires a full volley.::
TO Ens Senezem says:
@XO:  Aye, Sir...transporting torpedoes.  ::Slides his fingers up the controls::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Buckles in and goes back to reading sensors::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Sorry commander... sensors are almost useless at the moment.
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Scurries for a seat::
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
::Frowns:: MO: You're not in any condition to help anyone yet, Ensign. Stay still. This is going to hurt...  ::Takes Stevens' hand by the wrist in one hand, and her shoulder in the other, and without preamble provides a sharp, precision tug, straightening the bone::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Punches the thrusters and then the impulse engines, dropping shields and going to grey mode, since the shields will be useless in the nebula anyway, as they pass through the bay doors::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Attempts to take her seat while the shaking has stopped for a moment. Looks down at Hawk::  CAG: Agreed Mr. Hawk.  What do you have in mind?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CO: Thank you, Captain.   ::Turns to Tevis:: MO: Remain here and see to the safety of the bridge crew.  ::Glances briefly across all of them...Foster, Fong, Hawk, and T'Shara...before looking back::  ::Firmly:: MO: Understood?
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Tries to remain calm and bites down hard but quickly loses her calm and screams::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods to Raeyld with a slight smile and then turns her attention back to the fight.::

ACTION:  Aft launchers fire from the Claymore.  They glow an eerie blue as they race through the nebula before slamming into the side of the Conqueror as the Okanagan exits the hanger.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Taps the thrusters, and the impulse engines, alternating quick banks to starboard and port in evasive maneuvers, not wanting any hostiles to be able to get a target lock as he leaves a zigzag pattern of nebula particles in the wake of the Okanagan::

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Looks surprised at the CO::  CO:  With all due respect, ma'am....  I have in mind turning the Clay for an attack run on the Conqueror.  It's not like they're going to damage us any worse than they already are.  Unless you have some way to outrun them that I'm not thinking of.

ACTION:  The following explosion throws the Okanagan out into the nebula rolling her over end over end before Damrok regains control.

MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
::With the bone now in place, he takes the osteoregenerator and begins the first wave of patching, before Stevens can have a chance to lose consciousness, and vaguely hopeful the pain will shock her out of whatever fugue she seems to be falling into.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Her hands clutching the arm rest, she waits for the ship to right itself.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Mutters something about not liking roller coaster rides.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Rocks with the force of the explosions, accelerating as quickly as possible as they continue away from Conqueror::  CSO:  Auxiliary power to the inertial dampeners.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks at the information flooding the engineering screen, and updates the ship's emergency log buoy, before glancing at the CMO:: CMO/CO: Permission to go below.  I've not gotten a report from main engineering in a worryingly long amount of time, and we need someone down there to direct the DC teams.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Unfortunately no Mr. Hawk I do not as you say have any tricks up my sleeve to aid us in that manner.
MO Ens Tevis says:
::Gulps almost audibly:: CMO: Yes ma'a--ehm, ::Swallows again:: ---Doctor. ::Still feeling Raeyld's eyes on her, she quietly slips into an auxiliary science station and opens her tricorder, beginning constant monitoring of the bridge crew::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances back at Fong::  OPS: Permission granted Lieutenant.

@SCENE:  The Conqueror turns to port and increases its velocity now gaining on the Claymores position.  The massive vessel casts an ominous shadow over the Claymore.  Weapons begin to fire then suddenly stop.

CNS Lt Foster says:
::Seeing the explosion on the Conqueror, uses them to help with his targeting and fires as phaser and torpedoes are ready.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Watches Tevis one more moment, to ensure the gravity of her order is really there, then finally turns to enter the turbolift::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Sighs::  CO:  One can always hope.  :: Looks up::  In that case, I suggest that if we're gonna get the crap beat out of us anyway, we should get the crap beat out of us while we're swinging back.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@ :: Pulling herself forward, she reaches for the controls and activates inertial dampners.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Nods curtly, forwards the current status to a PADD and presses the call for releif OPS...if anyone was available, before heading for the turbolift with Raeyld::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Screams again and grips the biobed tightly trying to keep some semblance of mind::

@SCENE:  The Conqueror turns hard to port and tilts 20 degrees down as the explosion from mid ship explodes out into space.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Begins to readjust power levels to compensate critical areas.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Aye Mr. Hawk my thoughts exactly we can't outrun them so let's at least give it our best shot.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  Situation?  ::Continues piloting away from Conqueror, keeping an eye out for any stray fighter craft::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
TL: Cargobay.  ::Glances to Fong::
OPS Lt Fong says:
TL: Main Engineering.

ACTION:  SRSs suggest that the Conqueror just suffered a major explosion from inside engineering.  source unknown, damage, unknown.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Looks down at the sensors, surprise on his face::  CO:  Captain, they've ceased fire.  Large explosion from their mid ships.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Power allocations being adjusted to shields, weapons and life support. ::As the ship straightens she looks out the window and lifts a brow::  Looks like the Conqueror has been conquered.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@Davis:  You’re doing?
CNS Lt Foster says:
CO:  Picking up a major explosion inside the Conqueror, looks to have originated in their engineering.  Can't tell the source or extent of the damage but they stopped shooting for the moment.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
::Turns the Claymore to face the Conqueror then glances back at the CO for orders::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Shrugs::
aOPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Waits for a turbolift on deck six after hearing the call to the bridge::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: Open fire all forward weapons.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Systems are a bit shaken, a few minor items offline, but no critical damage.
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
MO: There now...the worst of the break has been mended. A little dermal regenerator, and you'll at least be serviceable. Probably.  ::Sets the osteoregenerator down and starts with the dermal regenerator, seemingly ignoring Stevens' outbursts::
CNS Lt Foster says:
CO:  Firing now.  ::As the Claymore completes its turn he targets the Conqueror, aiming for the areas already weakened by the internal explosion and fires a full forward volley.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  As for the Conqueror... :: tries to read sensors.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Glances in Raeyld's direction then goes back to the PADD tapping out priorities and updating information as it comes in.::

ACTION:  The Claymore unleashes a fire storm of phaser and torpedoes towards the Conqueror.  Both vessels light up from the array of colored objects racing between the vessels.

CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*DCAG*:  Warren, have all fighters break off from the fighter attack and commence runs on the Conqueror.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  Quite possibly our micro torpedoes doing their work.  ::For the first time, turns to Davis::  Davis:  Glad we could help you out, Commander.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks up as the lights dim slightly in the lift:: CMO: That'll be the forward tubes...
MO Ens Stevens says:
::With the mention of dermal regenerators she snaps back to reality:: MO: NO! ::Jumps from the biobed and rips the tool away with her good hand::
Cmdr Davis says:
@::Offers a characteristic nod in response::  XO: That makes two of us, Commander.
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*DCAG*:  Launch Reapers to provide cover for the Clay
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO: Looks like the Claymore intends to finish them off.  :: shakes her head at the damage she can see of her ship.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Continues firing as quickly as the launchers and phasers emitters allow.::
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Crouches down in the corner shielding her broken arm:: MO: You will NOT use that. I will Not have these scars taken from me!
MO Ens Jennings says:
::Sharply - perhaps too sharply, but he's already growing weary of her behavior:: MO: You will NOT behave in such a manner! Return my tool immediately. ::With pursed lips, trying to give her one more chance to be reasonable::

SCENE:  The Claymore's weapons impact the massive black saucer of the Conqueror.   Phasers rip into hull plating burning holes across its length.   Torpedo impacts follow slamming through the outer hull and deep into the vessel before exploding.  Large chunks of vessel explode out into the nebula as lights blink out across the Conqueror.

ACTION:  SRSs indicate power systems becoming unstable onboard the Conqueror.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sits watching the main viewscreen as parts of the Conqueror explode before them.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
Self:  Yes! Finally.  ::Checks sensor data.::  CO:  Conqueror's power systems are becoming unstable.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Continues to dart away from Conqueror at best possible impulse, now just bolting in a straight line rather than bothering with continued evasive patterns::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS: Cease fire.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
OPS: Open a hail
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@ XO/Davis:  How sad... what a loss.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head, murmuring something beneath her breath::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CNS/CAG: Nice work Counselor and Captain.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Snarls at Jennings:: MO: Did I stutter? ::Starts to rise a little, starting to offer the dermal regenerator back:: You can use any of your high tech thinga -a-mabobs but if you so much as point a dermal regenerator at my arm.....
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Cuts off phaser and torpedoes, but keeps a lock and watches as the tubes are being reloaded, ready to open up with a full volley if needed.::
aOPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Steps out of the lift in time to hear the request from the CO.  She doesn't spend time to figure out what is going on, simply moving to the first open station and sending a hail::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@::Just nods once, not looking at Senn, feeling some remorse for the vessel's destruction, and the loss of life -- particularly his direct hand in it --a but pushes it to the back of his mind for the time being::
aOPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Waits for the automated 'ping' back from the Conqueror's communication's system.::
CAG Cptn Hawk says:
*DCAG*:  Gillian, take this opportunity to recover Javlin and Lighting and replenish.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@XO:  Shall I contact Claymore?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
@CSO:  Please do.
Admiral Takit says:
COM: USS Claymore: Yes Captain.  ::The Screen fussy.  Small fires can be seen in the background and blood trickles down Takits cheek.::
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
MO: That may well be, -Ensign-, ::Quite sharp on the rank, now:: - but there are appropriate ways to express your preferences, and inappropriate ways, and snatching medical instruments from your attending physician, superior officer, and acting assistant department head - is very -inappropriate.-  
MO LtCmdr Jennings says:
MO: Next time, I'd suggest you register such preferences in your medical file in advance. ::Practically, but not quite, snatches the regenerator back:: And if this is how you feel, then go sit on a bed like the patient that you are. Your "brothers," will have to do without you.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Nods::  COMM: Claymore: This is Commander Senn.
aOPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Mutters slightly:: CO: Channel open.
aOPS PO1 Cawney says:
::Looks at the console and turns away from the viewscreen's pickups:: COM: Unknown: CSO: You are transmitting on an unfamiliar frequency, please forward clearance codes Commander.
MO Ens Stevens says:
::Snarls at Jennings:: MO: It is in my file. Very plain. Right under my history, which also would have informed you that my brothers are dead. If you had bothered to read it. So if you are quite finished with your butchery, I will excuse myself to rest.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
COM: USS Conquerer: Takit: Your vessel has been compromised Admiral you and your crew are to surrender to the Claymore immediately.  And prepare to be beamed over.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
@::Looks over at Damrok::  XO:  Do we have clearance codes?
