[21:02:31] <SM_James> Summary: The games continue, with Europa having escalated things with the advent of battle mode. Now, both Claymore and Europa are hunting for the killing blow. Will Claymore's more recent combat experience prove the advantage, or did Europa just beat them with one of their own upgrades? Meanwhile, Claymore's wayward CTO and team continue to monitor their long-range tail. They're staying just on the extreme range of sensors, but they're staying. This can only end spectacularly.

[21:02:31] <SM_James> Episode 3: "Home Field Advantage" (12212.10)

[21:04:31] <SO_Lt_Tanis> ::Sitting back to watch how their tweaks to the fighters is working.::

[21:05:04] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Sitting at SCI 1 using every sensor trick that she can think of to make sure she's observing the Europa accurately.::

[21:05:21] <CPO Talya Singh> :: on the bridge, keeping track of Europa, weapons hot.::

[21:05:39] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::In Flight Bay, trying to focus on the task at hand and not fret the uncontrollable..:: Tanis: Now for the not so fun part, waiting for results while the ship flails about. ::Forces a smile.::

[21:06:26] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: Slowly increasing the ships speed as she keeps a close eye on the three vessels via sensors.::

[21:07:39] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa continues to move away from Claymore, slowly climbing upwards as well as pulling away. Their speed increases slightly to 1/2 impulse.

[21:07:46] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::in Sickbay, playing make-believe with other players, entirely amused, outraged, a bit nervous, and perhaps a little bit peckish::

[21:08:06] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: Europa climbing and moving away.  Trying to track them.

[21:08:41] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *Meier*: Pull anyone you need to try and restore those processors. Don't know what they are after but it is something.

[21:09:42] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::watches on his map, which does a fine job demonstrating the three dimensionality of space, as Europa moves "up" but Claymore moves to the "right"::

[21:10:54] <Meier> *CEO*: Wish I could help you with what they are doing, but those are secondary systems for a reason. If we can figure it out fast enough we should be able to block whatever they are attempting. I know, "could" and "should" are excuse words, focusing on problem.

[21:10:55] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: I believe that the Europa has engaged their battle mode.  May I suggest we do the same?

[21:11:38] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> HLM: Bring us about.  ::turns to Simmons and nods::

[21:12:19] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens dismisses another batch of techs from sickbay, hearing back towards Iza::

[21:12:25] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore comes about, and Europa begins veering slightly left - the beginnings of something, possibly.

[21:12:48] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> Computer: Initiate Battle Mode. Command authorization Davis-omega-6.

[21:13:34] <Computer> CO: Unable to comply. Secondary command processors offline.

[21:13:57] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::turns from the biobed where the most serious case is being properly tended by the medics and heads back towards the main entrance in order to continue helping with triage as the tagged "injured" arrive::

[21:14:30] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::nods to himself as the Europa's targeting begins making sense.::

[21:14:47] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::wants to let out the loudest sigh of his life, and would if not for the pain in the ass flag officer in their midst::

[21:15:12] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> *Engineering*: How long until "secondary command processors" are repaired?

[21:15:24] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: calls out:: Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay:  I could use some mocha when you come back up.

[21:15:29] <ADM_McKenzy> ::is only smiling on the inside, promise::

[21:16:05] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *CO*: Meier and team are on it, I'll get you the ETA as soon as they have one, but it is top priority. Not even going to ask what they did it for, just assuming it was bad.

[21:16:08] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::smiles tightly at Dr Stevens:: CMO: I think some people are having too much fun feigning seizures.

[21:16:38] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *Meier*: That job is now top priority, just got word they got what they wanted from it.

[21:16:41] <CPO Talya Singh> :: looks over at Davis::

[21:16:59] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *Meier*: ETA ASAP on that, please.

[21:18:40] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> ::Hits her combadge:: *CEO*: Give us your best estimate of which primary functions of battle mode you can replicate immediately bypassing secondary processors.

[21:19:09] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> :: lightly curses as the freighters have also increased their speed.  That was telling.::

[21:19:29] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::Looks at Raeyld::  XO: Have the remainder of the air wing on hot standby.

[21:19:34] <Meier> *CEO*: Wish I had one for you, computer reading the processors as "beyond repair".

[21:19:35] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Watches their fighters chase the Europa.  Taps directly into the fighters sensors and places that data on a secondary screen.::

[21:20:02] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> HLM: Set a heading 045 mark 2, full impulse.

[21:20:18] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::moves over with a little more purpose towards Fong::

[21:20:32] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *XO*: They hit.oh boy. Give me a minute, this is going to take some juggling.rnTanis: You need more help here? We have a big problem repair wise.

[21:21:30] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: Can I suggest we head to an area that we can use the debris field to hide in while the fighters trail the Europa?

[21:21:49] <SO_Lt_Tanis> CEO: I think I've got what we need.  What's the repair problem?

[21:22:12] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore adjusts heading, and Europa banks sharply right and down. As Claymore's new heading is achieved, Europa's course forecasts to bring her over top of Claymore in 3 minutes.

[21:22:19] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> CNS_LtJG_Iza: I've had 2 bound down on biobeds because of the thrashing. And stick with a hypospray. No drugs, just needles.

[21:22:43] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> OPS: Within the simulation, can we fake a plasma leak?

[21:22:44] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Pulls PADD and starts accessing systems.:: Tanis: They took out the Secondary Processors, which took out battle mode.  Gotta try and jury rig as much as I can of that now.

[21:22:55] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: Europa is converging on us.  ETA three minutes.

[21:23:04] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> CSO: Acknowledged.

[21:23:21] <SO_Lt_Tanis>CEO: You do what you need to do.  I'll hold the fort here.

[21:23:49] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *XO*: Going to start seeing what I can bypass with shielding first, then Phasers and engines. Unless you need something first?

[21:24:45] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::laughs heartily at the mere idea of using needles on the most committed actors in their midst:: CMO: I'd like to know how the next round of medical examinations go. Do you think they'll come on their own . . . ?

[21:24:46] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: Their heading will place them over us.

[21:25:37] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> CNS_LtJG_Iza: Oh, people rarely do. Threats and surprise raids tend to be our best tools

[21:26:03] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Continuously monitoring the Europa on sensors waiting for it to twitch.::

[21:26:45] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Makes for a full sprint to the nearest Jeffries Tube, dropping at a controlled ladder fall to get to Main Engineering.::

[21:27:09] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> CNS_LtJG_Iza: After this drill, do you want to head to my office and we can do some proper introductions

[21:27:11] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: decides to leave it for the moment... no reason to poke the bear.  But she made sure to add that observation to her letter to the claymore before hitting send.::

[21:27:21] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::runs the peripheral of her borrowed medical tricorder over a new "casualty" and reads the information as the computer tag intends, and directs the crewman with the broken humerus to the waiting area::

[21:27:40] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::checking the parameters:: CO: I think we can manage that, yes.

[21:28:20] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> CO: Got it.   *CAG*: Keep squads Echo through Hotel on hot standby.   *CEO*: Not at present; get it done.    ::Nods to Simmons:: CSO: Find the best candidate and suggest it to Captain Davis.

[21:28:22] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> OPS: See if you can set that up. I want to manually vent plasma on command, but make it look like we're damaged.

[21:28:35] <CPO Talya Singh> :: adjust the targeting computer::

[21:28:45] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::nods, and starts feeding the parameters into the computer::

[21:28:46] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns quickly, knowing time is not on their side::  CSO: How far are we from the nebula in this area of space?

[21:29:48] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Arrives with an almost graceful landing in Engineering.:: All: We're going to see if we can manually implement Combat Mode. Not in drill, in "we need it now" pacing. Redirect, Reconfigure and Realign are no longer words to avoid until further notice.

[21:30:25] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> OPS: Let me know when you're ready.  :;moves back towards the center of the Bridge, basically towards Science but not heading all the way to Simmons's station::

[21:30:56] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> OPS: Assign your best operations officer to coordinate with Brax to reroute power, minimizing nonessential systems as much as possible. Get your energy systems guru on it.

[21:31:07] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::beams:: CMO: That would be nice, thank you. I should have come sooner, but . . . you were otherwise engaged switching dimensions and whatnot ::pauses to start a scan on another approaching newcomer::

[21:31:10] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> XO: Aye, Ma'am.  Looking for the best candidate.

[21:31:23] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: We're at 500,000 KM, Sir.

[21:31:28] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa veers slightly forward, continuing to decrease her altitude.

[21:32:14] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::sits down and reviews his map::

[21:32:43] <CPO Talya Singh>  XO: Altitude decreasing.

[21:32:58] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Moves to the Power Allocation Board, seeing just what is available to slice and dice.:: *PWL_CW2_Spack*: We're about to get creative, if you need a hand once things start shifting, let me know BEFORE it's too late. Shields are priority.

[21:32:59] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::looks forward as he notices Europa's pitch::  HLM: Make sure we beat Europa into the nebula. Maintain present course, but alter pitch Z+15.

[21:33:04] <CPO Talya Singh>  :: continues adjusting the targeting computer, ready to fire on order.::

[21:33:13] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> CNS_LtJG_Iza: That's fair. It's been an interesting voyage the last little bit.

[21:33:29] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns to Singh::  CPO: Be ready with phasers to light my candle. 

[21:34:08] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::finishes his modifications:: CO: Should be able to vent plasma at your order.

[21:34:21] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns and nods to Fong::

[21:34:22] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: Ready on order

[21:35:28] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> CSO: What do we know about the nebula? Anything dangerous there?

[21:35:28] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> CNS_LtJG_Iza: Where have you been calling home port for the last little bit?

[21:35:31] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore's fighters begin to close on Europa. Comm traffic on squad channels heats up as they engage from extreme range. Europa's point defenses system make quick work of their first volley.

[21:35:54] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::checks the duty roster, then sends word to Cawney to start stripping power from non-esental systems::

[21:37:08] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *OPS*: Starting power allocation to manually set us in combat mode. Should I start bypassing or you have someone on it? If you do I'll get on making sure the emitters can handle what they're about to get.

[21:37:12] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::Brings up a schematic of Europa quickly::

[21:37:54] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> *CEO* Operations will handle power allocation, for now.

[21:38:17] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: There are always dangerous things in a nebula.  Right now, it would be difficult to get into the nebula without most of our shields, Sir.

[21:38:24] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::sends the not actually injured officer back to work and hesitates for a second:: CMO: After the Academy? I served a stint at home, actually. That's Alpha Centauri, then here . . . keeping my head low and avoiding the doctors.

[21:38:50] %<SM_James> ACTION: The unidentified ships begin to split off, with two of them beginning to fall behind the runabout.

[21:38:58] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: But once we got in - if we did so successfully, it would be to our advantage.

[21:39:35] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *OPS*: Acknowledged. ::Starts realigning the Shielding and redirecting anything that can be scraped up into them.::

[21:39:59] %< Tac  Lt.Jg. Atsa Begay>  Atsa, join me.  And wake up Akamia on your way.

[21:40:46] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa quickly banks upwards, briefly putting her aft section just out of line of Claymore. She not so much fires but drops several torpedoes, which populate Claymore's flight path. She increases altitude, and the fighters close in, knocking her shields down to 61%.

[21:41:12] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::looks up::  CSO: Well, coordinate with Engineering and Tactical as best you can, because that's what we're doing.

[21:41:30] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: Permission to fire...

[21:41:35] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::smiles self-deprecatingly:: CMO: I know I can't heal myself but I do give the worst of patients a run for their credits.

[21:41:41] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: Aye, Sir.  I'll plot the safest way into the nebula to avoid the volatile pockets as well.

[21:41:46] %<Begay>  CTO: On it. ::Goes to wake Akamia.::

[21:42:27] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: I would also suggest changing direction.

[21:42:44] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> ::Looks over her shoulder at Singh:: TO: Can you bolster the shields more for our entry to the nebula?

[21:43:17] <CPO Talya Singh> CSO: If we take power from other areas, yes.

[21:43:48] %<Tac Ens Akamia Roberts>  :: grumbles as he gets out of bed having just fallen back to sleep.::

[21:43:49] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> Singh: The CO asked me to make it happen.  You may want to speak with engineering to see where we can pull the power from.

[21:43:53] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> CPO: Return fire.

[21:44:42] <CPO Talya Singh> *CEO*: I need more power to the shields.  I am about to fire on some torpedoes not far from us.

[21:44:55] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::looks up::  HLM: Change in course, 086 mark 1.

[21:44:58] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *FRL_LtJG_Torvald*: I'm sure I'm being redundant, but I need fusion reactors at full output. Yeah, no need to tell me already done.

[21:45:11] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa opens fire as the fighters close in, her torpedoes dropping the majority of them easily.  The remainder open fire on Europa, knocking her shields down to 51%.

[21:45:46] <SM_James> ACTION: Helm complies, and Claymore adjusts her course, repositioning out of direct line of the torpedoes.

[21:45:50] <CPO Talya Singh> :: Fires a barrage::

[21:45:52] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *CPO*: Already pushing every joule I can into them, getting as creative as I can with the source of said power.

[21:46:33] <CPO Talya Singh> *CEO*:  Acknowledged...

[21:48:19] <CEO_Ens_Brax> EOs: Get stupid if we have to. Pull any Tricorder, Phaser, or any other item with a power pack and put it into the charger on discharge. Drop in the bucket but better in the bucket than in the flotsam.

[21:48:23] <CPO Talya Singh> CSO: That appears to be debatable.

[21:49:35] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: Tactical isn't sure they can give us the juice to the shields to get us inside the Nebula.

[21:50:36] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Continues to redirect power to shields as it becomes available, even lowering lights in Engineering to save a few joules.::

[21:51:08] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore makes quick work of the torpedoes Europa intended to use as land mines, and Europa's point defense system makes quick work of the torpedoes Claymore intended to use as torpedoes. The fighters use the torpedo salvo as cover and fire on Europa, but the point defenses are able to adjust.

[21:51:13] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: As the two come in, she takes the mocha with thanks.::  Begay/Roberts:  We have a problem.  I have been slowly increasing speed.  So have those ships.  But they just changed formation.  Two have slowed enough to get behind a third which is directly behind us.

[21:52:21] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::nods to Simmons::  

[21:52:24] %<Begay>  CTO: So we're being trailed? Still not able to identify them?

[21:52:25] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: The landmines are gone.

[21:54:06] <CEO_Ens_Brax> *CPO*: Got you up to 61% shields, manually redirecting what we can from down here but no promises on how long this will take. Just promises that you will have all the shield power I can feed them.

[21:54:09] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::looks up::  HLM: Come about, then 012 mark 3, full impulse.

[21:54:48] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns to Tactical::  CPO: I want to try and pin Europa between as and the nebula.

[21:55:12] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> Begay:  Other then federation freighters, no.  And there is no reason for them to be anywhere near us.  :: puts the ships up on the screen.  Hmmm... the third one appears to be following beside us.  That leaves two behind us.  I am open to suggestions.  We can out fly them and we supposedly have better fighting power... but that is assuming they are federation.

[21:56:36] %<Begay>  CTO: There's always the "change direction and see if they follow". Old trick, not very clever, but should confirm they are actually following. ::Shrugs.::

[21:57:27] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore performs a full 180, then slowly banks to the new heading. Europa adjusts her course to move away from the nebula, aiming to slowly bring herself alongside Claymore. Both are at full impulse, making actually overtaking one another a little difficult.

[21:58:49] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa appears to have been able to target a fighter, which a torpedo sends drifting in space. The remaining 3 open fire on Europa, easily matched by her defenses.

[21:59:17] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: nods::  Begay: I have an alternate route that can give us an advantage, but it takes us off the usual flight path.  :: quietly inputs the coordinates.::  Lets do the move slowly.  If they are ghost us... we could make contact and then take off.

[21:59:22] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::watching this on his console::  HLM: Increase speed..get us out in front. I don't care if you have to run into her to do it.

[22:00:09] %<SM_James> ACTION: The two ships behind the runabout split off from each other. One stays directly behind the runabout. The other increases speed, aiming to come up on her other side. They keep at extreme range.

[22:01:27] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> OPS: Be ready. This might be our opportunity to use this.

[22:01:36] <CEO_Ens_Brax> WSL_LtJG_Voep: Make sure manual Phaser control people can run the point defense, getting you power priority right behind shields, maximize it.

[22:01:37] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::nods ::

[22:01:58] <CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> % Begay:  Obviously they are not out cruising.  They are still out of firing range.  But I do not like being crowded.  Contact them.  Don't forget, we are the Honu.

[22:03:51] %<Begay>  COM: Local craft: This is the Honu to the vessels following us. Please identify yourselves and state your purpose.

[22:04:02] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> CPO: Target Europa's engines. See if we can get her to slow down a little.

[22:05:06] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa opens fire, disabling the remaining fighters. Were this a real battle, Claymore would be in desperate need of a resupply. And a memorial service.

[22:05:22] <CPO Talya Singh> :: Adjust to fire on the Europa’s engines... again... and hopes this time to succeed.::

[22:07:13] <CEO_Ens_Brax> Self: If we realigned the power flow around the Secondary Processor, the local systems should be able to accept the commands and implement. Just need to trick them into thinking the commands are authorized...

[22:07:25] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa's shields fall to 39% as Claymore's volley breaks through their external defenses. Sensors read their impulse engines offline.

[22:07:48] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::watches as Claymore begins to surge forward on the console map::

[22:08:04] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> OPS: Not how I was planning to use this, but--

[22:08:17] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: Impulse engines off line... theirs.

[22:08:23] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> HLM: Cross over Europa's bridge.

[22:08:41] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: Europa's impulse engines offline

[22:08:43] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> OPS: Vent plasma as we cross them.

[22:09:02] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::in his mind, screams, "Why is everyone telling me this at the same time!?"::

[22:09:21] <CPO Talya Singh> :: contacts her team below.  Real or not, she wanted them practicing loading.::

[22:09:28] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::programs the plasma vent process to start at the point when they are close to the Europa::

[22:09:30] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> CPO: Forward torpedoes, fire at will. Read phasers as well.

[22:10:03] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> <ready>

[22:10:07] <CPO Talya Singh> :: nodding, fires at... well, at will with a slight grin.  With her other hand, she holds down phasers.::

[22:10:26] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore adjusts course to bring herself in line to cross Europa, who reorients their targeting systems.

[22:11:15] <CPO Talya Singh> :: keeping track of torpedoes, she uses them judicially, but with more freedom then if this were real.::

[22:11:31] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore's continuous volley overwhelms Europa's external defenses, dropping shields down to 37%. Sensors detect simulated system damage ship wide.

[22:11:35] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> CPO: Aft phasers, target our plasma trail once we cut off plasma. Then follow with a volley of torpedoes. 

[22:12:02] <CEO_Ens_Brax> EO: What about Life Boat power sources? Can we "borrow" power from them? Physically, not asking if it is allowed, just if it can be done. Like 20% of their stores...

[22:12:10] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: Europa's shields down to 37% and ship wide system damage.

[22:12:28] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> CSO/All: Good. Keep killing them.

[22:12:29] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::Feels the ship shake almost imperceptibly as it fires makeshift torpedoes. Candelaria's eyes look sideways to the transparent doors and does a double-take, as her reflection for a second appeared all wrong, but no, there she is, very much curls and should have worn the regulation uniform, maybe::

[22:12:30] <CPO Talya Singh> :: nodding she pauses torpedoes and waits for the plasma.::

[22:13:01] %<SM_James> ACTION: The runabout gets no response, but the ships - all 3 of them - continue to match their speed. One to the left, one behind, one to the right.

[22:13:17] <CEO_Ens_Brax> Self: Wait, what? How are we loosing Plasma? What are they...

[22:13:30] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens glances at Iza:: CNS: You alright?

[22:15:01] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa opens fire, torpedoes pounding into Claymore's shields. The computer reports multiple systems damaged as her shields drop to 30%. External defenses buy Europa time as they resist more of Claymore's weapons fire.

[22:15:04] <CPO Talya Singh> ::waits for  the signal for the plasma venting has stopped::

[22:15:36] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::Shrugs it off, if the Bridge needed me to know I'd know. Looks like an intentional flow rather than a leak so leaves it go.::

[22:16:11] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> CO: Continuing to vent plasma, sir.

[22:16:13] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> OPS: Kill the plasma leak.

[22:16:24] <OPS_LtJg_Fong> ::cuts it off::

[22:16:11] <CPO Talya Singh> :: more to herself::  Now that was not nice... ::ignites the plasma stream::

[22:16:25] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::turns::  CPO: Target the trail and fire.

[22:16:50] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: Ignited... :: looks up at the screen::

[22:17:02] <CNS_LtJG_Iza__> ::blinks a couple of times before nodding:: CMO: Yes . . . I just . . . You know that feeling . . . like a deja vu of sorts, I suppose ::smiles weakly:: Sorry about that.

[22:18:09] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::looks up as well::

[22:18:34] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens nods, but no smile on her face:: CNS: As long as you're alright. Not time travelling or anything...

[22:19:14] %<Begay>  CTO: No response. Assuming they heard us, they don't want to answer.

[22:19:16] <SM_James> ACTION: The plasma ignites, and both vessels shudder as the resulting shock reverberates. Sensors record a dramatic increase in electrical and other interference as the stream does what it does.

[22:20:02] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze> Begay:  And they are not basically surrounding us.  :: Check sensors for any ships ahead.

[22:20:17] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::she laughs without thinking, then covers her mouth with her left hand:: CMO: Oh so sorry, that was unkind of me. But no, I never learned to travel through time . . . ::her demeanour sobers:: Did you? Travel through time, I mean.

[22:20:26] <CSO_LtJg_Simmons> CO: Picking up a great deal of sensor interference.

[22:20:54] %<Begay>  CTO: Eyes wide open. And ears. I'll throw in nose while I'm at it, for all it will do in the vaccuum.

[22:21:03] <CPO Talya Singh> CO: Drama....:: looks over at the screen recording damage.::

[22:21:27] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> ::clutches his chair a little tighter and nods to Simmons, unsurprised::  

[22:22:10] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> HLM: Bring us about again and prepare to make another pass.

[22:22:50] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> XO: If we have any fighter squads left, release them.

[22:23:14] <SM_James> ACTION: Claymore comes about, and retraces her steps previously - moving through what a few seconds ago would have been very unsafe to move through.

[22:24:36] <CO_Cmdr_Davis> HLM/CPO: Attack pattern bravo-1, fire at will.

[22:25:15] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens opens her mouth and then closes it:: CNS: I...I don't think so. I mean, I do not understand the intricacies of warp travel but I feel like they would have told me in the academy if I had.

[22:25:16] <CPO Talya Singh> :: Prepared for another attack, surprised that... nope... not jinxing.::

[22:25:53] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> CNS_LtJG_Iza: Although, if you asked the doctors I studied with, they all would have told you I came from the past

[22:25:56] %<CTO_LtJg_Tsela-Yokaze>  :: Begins to alter her course slowly.::

[22:26:04] <CEO_Ens_Brax> ::With the Plasma expulsion finished, goes to replenish the Plasma flow while continuing to redirect power. Wanting so bad to begin a manual redirect/ rebuild of actual power systems to make this work better, realizing it would take far too long to be of use.::

[22:26:15] <XO_LtCmdr_Raeyld> *CAG*: Release squads Echo through Hotel immediately.

[22:26:23] <CNS_LtJG_Iza> ::sighs, a bit disappointed:: CMO: We all come from the past, don't we? Our past, at least.

[22:27:00] <CMO_Lt_Stevens> ::Stevens giggles:: CNSs 

[22:28:31] <SM_James> ACTION: Europa begins to reroute power, as if compensating. As Claymore brings herself around, sensors detect an energy build-up in Europa's warp drive.
