Only the Good Die Young - Mission 47 - Stardate: 11901.22
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  The Jarrow has changed course to intercept a damaged medical transport, being followed by a Vroa heavy cruiser, on long range sensors.  The captain has contacted the Claymore for backup after receiving a distress call from the medical transport, Anssmor.

******************** Resume Mission ************************
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Exits the turbolift and begins her walk to the doors of Main Engineering...ever......so.....slowly....... Really not especially looking forward to delivering the news to Commander Davis::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::On the bridge in the center chair, reading the same sentence over again on his PADD for the sixth or seventh time...sighs and lowers it, looking around the bridge::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Approaches the doors and pauses there, just out of reach of the door sensors::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@::flips the sensors back across her screens, stopping at the transport, and the cruiser screens a little longer::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Draws and exhales a breath, then steps forward into range of the door sensors, and passes through the sliding opening and into main engineering::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::startled as he walks out of main engineering, very nearly through ̶ and at least into ̶ Raeyld::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@CO: Looks like around 1800 lifeforms on sensors. Getting counts for each ship, give me just a minute, Captain
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Just barely side-steps Davis as she's drawn from her reverie, and picks up on his...pace:: CEO: Excuse me, Commander. ::Apologetically:: Can you spare a moment?
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns back into main engineering::  CMO: If you promise not to hide behind any more doors, yes.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Looks down at the sensors and then back up at the screen.::  MO: Aye, Lieutenant.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Raises a breath as if to dispute the accusation, but literally waves it away with a gesture of her hand...neatly avoiding the promise as well:: CEO: Commander Damrok has approved the plan to use the Claymore's warp core to attempt communications with the Cabowee. He's expecting readiness to begin within 30 minutes, per Lieutenant Fong's most recent estimates. 
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stops in his tracks::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::turns::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Stands still and meets his gaze somewhat resignedly::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::throws his hands in the air::  CMO: Why not
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Exhales slightly, and folds her hands behind her back:: CEO: I'm...sorry, Commander. Per Captain T'Shara's instructions, all engineering decks will have heightened security. Although Lieutenant Fong is, I believe, planning to execute the actual procedure, we'll need you present to monitor and address any potential threats to the Claymore's warp core or other aspects of Main Engineering.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Her hands slide across the conn making the necessary modifications to their heading.::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@CO: 1189 on the medical transport and less than 700 on the Vroa cruiser
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::sometimes, these thoughts just pop into your mind, even if you're trying hard -not- to think them, or anything like them; the front runner for question-of-the-mission surely has to be why the doctor is in Main Engineering relaying the Captain's orders when the crackpot Ferengi Operations officer seems to be the one actually making all the decisions::
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: Whatever you say.  ::can't manage to crack a smile to go with it::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Suppresses a pang of pain...this wasn't actually the path she wanted, but sharing with him the alternative, now, wouldn't...wouldn't help anything, probably. This is just how it is:: CEO: ...Thank you, Commander.
Host SMDrew says:
@COM: Broadcast: To any vessels in the area.  This is the medical vessel Anssmor.  We have 1189 survivors of Ralie V on board.  We are under attack!!  ::The voice seems to be more stressed.::  We request any assistance in the area.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@MO: Noted.  It would seem that the heavy cruiser has lost crewmen in what appears to be a fight.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@MO: How long until he cruiser intercepts the medical transport?
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@CO: That seems reasonable. It's also probably not the transport that hurt it
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@CO: I'm still running some calculations, should have a time shortly
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stifles a sigh and turns back into Main Engineering, really wishing he had more decision-making power than he did, yet, not ̶ ::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Waits a respectful distance, then follows Davis into main engineering::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Raises an eyebrow and glances over at Stevens::  MO: Aye, it would be difficult for a medical transport to do that kind of damage especially to a heavy cruiser.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::veers into his office area, unaware Raeyld is creeping behind him::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Gets up and paces the bridge a little bit, wondering how much prep work has taken place in engineering, but doesn't want to disrupt the proceedings::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::With a tap of a button as she continues to modify their heading.::  COM: Claymore:  Jarrow to Claymore.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Veers the other direction, toward the warp core, staying mostly out of anyone's way, but remaining nearby. She pulls a PADD from her pocket and begins to jot some notes::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Notes a little twitch from Kendal, and interrupts before he can start to speak::  OPS:  Is it Jarrow ?
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::slumps down at his chair and stares at the console, not even sure what's happening::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<OPS_Lt_Kendal>  ::Slightly perturbed::  XO:  Aye.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OPS:  Put them through.  ::Gets a nod, and then speaks::  COM: Jarrow:  Damrok here.  Go ahead, Captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@COM: Claymore: Damrok, what is your ETA to intercept the medical transport?
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
HLM:  Lawrence?
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Her eyes fall past the warp core, busily being prepped by some team, and fall on Davis's office momentarily. She presses her lips together... This could be an opportunity, but...really, Commander Davis doesn't appear to be in any sort of mood for...well, anything. She'd best not bother him::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence>  ::Making a half-turn from her console::  XO:  Approximately four hours, Sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Jarrow:  Four hours.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@MO: Four hours. I hope the medical transport can hold out.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::kind of comes out of his trance and tries to access standing orders to see what the hell is going on::
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sighs and looks back over her notes, trying to put together a coherent negotiating position...and briefly ponders if there'd be some way to...kill two chickens with one rock?::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@COM: Claymore: Acknowledged, Commander.  I don't know how much longer the medical transport can hold out.
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@CO: They don't really have any other options at this point. But hope can be a powerful drug
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@MO: Unfortunately, you are correct.  From your mouth, Doctor.  Once we arrive we are going to have to figure out a way to evacuate.
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Jarrow:  Unfortunately, there's not much to be done.  We're at maximum warp now...and I'm not sure whether we'll have to decrease speed in order to attempt to contact the Cabowee.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@COM: Claymore: I know. We are doing all we can, Commander ̶ there is no question.
CEO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stands up, scanning through orders, then bringing up warp core status reports to start double-checking things::
MO_LtJg_Stevens says:
@CO: It's not looking good. They are venting plasma and their warp drive is over 100%
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@COM: Claymore: Damrok, I know we need 4500 people for the new colony, but at this point I don't know we are going to make the deadline.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::The Vroa are on the scene now...or perhaps the Cabowee could be introduced to the Enbre... But would that really be solving a problem more permanently? Or just buying time at the costs of lives they happen to like somewhat less?::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Raises a breath, then pauses a moment::  COM:  Jarrow:  ...I know, Captain.  How would you like to proceed?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@::Nods, lowering her head for a moment, taking a deep breath continuing to monitor and adjust the conn.::  MO: Aye.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
@COM: Claymore: Continue with the plan Mr. Damrok.  Continue as is.  If you can push the Claymore a little harder to see if you can get to the Vroa heavy cruiser and unfortunately I would plan on the minute you drop from warp launching everything the Claymore has.
CMO_Cmdr_Raeyld says:
::Draws another breath, and stares at the warp core intently. With the upcoming confrontation with the Vroa, it's very likely they may find themselves at a significant disadvantage in trying to deal with the Vroa through force. Diplomacy may be simply the only thing left::
Host XO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Jarrow:  Aye, Sir.  I'll check in on the half-hour until we arrive.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
COM: Claymore: Very good Commander.  T'Shara out.
