<<<<<<<<<<Resume>>>>>>>

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
Self: Ouch.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::steps onto the bridge, a few PADDS in her hands::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::arrives at the bridge with a PADD in her hand and takes over science one::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::stings his finger into his mouth::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps into the Sickbay and quickly starts calling out orders:: Medical: Okay people, we could be dealing with a lot of casualties. I want a triage centre setup in the Shuttlebay, I want anti-virals at every station and I want four rotating teams for beam downs to affected areas. ::handing off the roster to Denim, he gives her a smile:: Denim: All good fun, huh?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
Self: Hot. ::looks around:: All: This is hot. Okay?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::stands at Tactical, scrolling through what information they have about New Juarez::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::sits back, as the latest sensor information piles in her screen::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Is standing at OPS, who is preparing all the resources that would most likely be requested for an AT to the colony::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::steps over to CTO:: CTO: Sumner. ::nods once and holds out a PADD:: CTO: Special assignment.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
Afalnerto: Hey, you. Fix that for me. I have to see a woman about a repair schedule.......okay that sounded better in my head.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Walks out of his ready room, stretching a little to relieve the stiffness.:: aFCO:  ETA?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::looks suspiciously at the PADD, then at Suder, before taking a look::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::watches the bustle around Sickbay and removes himself from the situation to stop getting in the way, grabbing a surgeon's kit and stepping into his office, collapsing on the chair and pulling around the computer to start going over the records for New Juarez::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CTO: Either do it yourself, or assign a department member, but it has to be done. And no swearing...

Host Andrew says:
<EO_Afalnerto> ::raises an eyebrow:: CEO: It did? ::grins::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks through the data somewhat disappointed:: All: Sensors don't show anything of note, aside from the lack of chatter.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::notices the XO passing a PADD to Henry, and tries to curb her curiosity::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
XO: What about rueful muttering?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::grabs a lose PADD from the master console and heads for the Turbolift:: Afalnerto: Shut up.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CTO: Do all of that before you hit record, understood?

Host Andrew says:
<EO_Afalnerto> CEO: Yes Sir. Right away.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::notices the CO:: All: Captain on the bridge.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::Finally reads what's on the PADD:: XO: Yes, ma'am.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Stands up straighter at the XO's words::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
TL: Bridge.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::glances at the CO when he is mentioned::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::drops into his chair.:: OPS:  What’s our ETA?  ::Gives the helmsman a look of mild displeasure.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::waves the other PADDs she has in her hands:: CTO: I'll be reviewing before I send these off. Keep that in mind. ::turns and heads over to OPS:: OPS: Few for you, too, Ensign.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::sticks his finger in his mouth again and curses::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Waves for everyone to return to their duties.::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::sets the PADD aside, and makes his way over to OPS, making like he's looking over her shoulder:: OPS: Hi.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::steps out onto the Bridge and heads straight for the command circle:: XO: Our schedule ma'am, as ordered. ::hands her a PADD::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Continues to work at her station, but very subtly hip-checks the CTO, before murmuring::  CTO: What's going on Henry.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::wonders why no one wants to tell the ETA to the CO, but keeps quiet::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Takes the PADDs from Suder::  XO: For my reviewing pleasure?

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The Kraken enters orbit of New Juarez. Sensors show planet-wide comms are down, but there is some localised chatter.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::turns on her heel, on hearing CEO:: CEO: Good timing. ::rifles through the PADDs in her hands:: CEO: Yours. ::hands him a PADD and takes the one he's offering:: CEO: and mine. ::instantly begins to read his report::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Sighs and rubs his eyes.::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
OPS: Not much. Just admiring the view from tactical. ::grins::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
XO: Not another request...I've already fixed your shower TWICE...::looks down:: nevermind.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::sighs, rubbing his eyes and slinging the kit around his shoulders before making his way into the TL, calling out to Denim:: Denim: You're up. I'll be on the bridge.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: There is some localized chatter on the planet, despite the overall quietness.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS:  If you can tear yourself away Ensign, please hail the surface.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
OPS: Hm? ::looks up:: OPS: For your replying pleasure. Or delegate. Just get it done.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Can not resist smiling at the comment, as she starts to review the PADD::  CTO: Smooth, Mister Sumner

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CEO: If you fixed it right the first time, you'd not have had to fix it again... ::signs off on the report::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Any sign of damage to their comm systems?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::whispers:: OPS: I enjoy butts. ::turns and heads back to Tactical, trying to avoid a laugh at his own stupidity::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Coughs slightly when she hears the CO::  CO:  Yes Sir.  ::Initiates a hail to the planet::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps out of the TL with a mutter, glancing up at the planet on the viewscreen as he makes his way over to one of the empty railings::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
Self: Or perhaps you're just using it wrong...::stops himself from finishing that sentence and turns away::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::throws the PADD onto his console where it falls neatly ontop of half a dozen others unread reports:: CMO: Doc.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Scanning for damage Captain.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::fiddles idly with the strap on his kit:: XO/CO: I've got triage set up in the shuttlebay if it comes down to the wire, and main Sickbay is prepped and ready for anything. I've got ICU and contamination containment set up and waiting in the wings. We're all prepped up here, as far as we can be, we're not exactly a medical evac ship.

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: No immediate response to the hail, however local chatter reveals they are under attack by ground troops.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Hmm. There is some damage to the planet comm systems, others seem to have been jammed. Sabotage perhaps?

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Nearly chokes at Henry's comment, but manages to keep things together::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CMO: 4-shift rotation? ::hands him a PADD:: CMO: That's for later. Don't worry about it now. ::speaks quietly::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: Captain, no response to the hails, however there seems to be fighting on the planet's surface.  Ground troops

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::glances at the PADD, smiling as he reads it off before tucking it into his lab coat pocket:: XO: Three shift, with larger teams. I didn't want us spread too thin if it gets heavy.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::takes his seat and brings the Engineering controls online::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
OPS: Could it be a civil war?

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::frowns at OPS' announcement, and begins searching the area for vessels, cloaked or otherwise::

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The hail is finally answered. The picture isn't great, and the man is panicked.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::nods:: CMO: You're the doc, doc. ::places the second last PADD on the side of CSO's console, out of the way without a word. She's busy right now::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::looks at the PADD just left in her console, then at the departing XO, then back at the PADD. Finally she ignores it and looks at the screen::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Looks over to Sumner.::  CTO: inform your people, we may need to pull the colony reps out to get some answers.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::nods, and sends a heads-up to Benson::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::raises an eyebrow slightly as the XO turns away, wondering if Kesh is subtly disapproving or finally letting go of Sickbay::

Host Andrew says:
<General_Bainbridge> COM: CO: We need immediate assistance! They're too powerful. ::looks to his left as an explosion can be heard:: At this rate they'll take the capital city!

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CSO: I don't have enough information to determine that at this point

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS: Clear up that transmission if you can.  CSO: Try to get some idea of who's attacking.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::would totally have instigated a 4-shift rotation...::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Nods at A'an, and gets to work on the transmission::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: Yes sir. ::scans the area where the comm is coming from for weapons fire and life signs::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::watches the viewscreen with a frown, tapping his comm badge:: *Sickbay*: Prepare for possible fire-fight casualties. I want dermaline gel and kelotane at every station.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
XO: Engineering is standing by.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Gen_Bainbridge.:  This is Captain A'an of the Kraken, send us your co-ordinates we'll start beaming out your wounded and send support.  Who's attacking you?

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::smugly thinks about the superiority of his three-shift rotation as he closes the comm::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::mutters as she stares at the screen:: Self: Damn glad we got our medical supplies... ::moves to the centre of the bridge, hugging the last PADD. Stands beside CO::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::does some surface scans:: CO: Looks like the fighting's in a bit of wilderness outside their largest city.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO:  Sound yellow alert and raise shields. Prep for our teams to support and shore up the cities defence.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps a little way over to Tactical:: CTO: Can you detect what kind of fighting is going on? Are we talking projectile, energy, or knives and spears?

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: The attacks are coming from Polaron weapons and there are Jem Hadar life signs in the area.

Host Andrew says:
<General_Bainbridge> @COM: CO: The Jem'Hadar! We need ground troops before it's too late! ::the comm is cut off::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::initiates Yellow Alert::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::blinks as the CSO speaks:: CTO/CSO: I guess that answers that.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::snaps his head towards the viewscreen::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
Self: Jem'H....::Starts to increase the military requirements of the AT::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CEO*:  Adalberto, we've got a fire-fight on the surface, Jem'Hadar troops.  I need teams set to help shore up the colonies defences.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CMO: Indeed.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
CO: I can have all available personnel ready to beam down in five minutes.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO:  Can we fire a few isolated bursts into the Jem'Hadar ranks without hitting the colonist defence force?

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CO: These are Jem'Hadar. Recommend we get those people out of there and away, sir.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CO: Right here, sir.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Agreed, start beaming them up, wounded first.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::lowers the shields::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO/XO: They won't stop at just one town.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
XO: I think the greater question is; Where did they come from? Are there any Dominion ships in the system?

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::opens a channel:: *Engineering*: Prepare ground teams, portable power units and forcefields! Report to Mr. Sumner's teams.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CMO: I does seem like a well planned attack. The first thing they did was probably to kill the planet's communications.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::waves the CMO towards the turbolift:: CMO: Think on that while you co-ordinate your triage units. Keep me informed.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::tries a few things before shaking his head:: CO: We can't get a good enough lock. Give the word, sir, and I'll have troops ready to do.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods at Kymar.:: CMO: Definitely.  CSO:  Focus scans for any hidden ships.  CTO: Send them

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CTO: Engineering teams standing by to follow your orders.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods and takes to the turbolift, leaving Sickbay to Denim:: TL: Shuttlebay 1.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::nods and looks towards OPS for a moment, before tapping his combadge:: *TO*: Benson, change of plans; get all non-essential security geared up for ground combat; we're going in hot. You've got three minutes.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::heads for a turbolift::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
XO: I'll start evac'ing the injured to Sickbay Commander

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: I will see what I can do. ::starts looking for high neutron sources and prepares a tachyon sweep::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
*CMO*: Doctor, we'll need some coagulating agent for the ground forces. Have them sent to Cargo Bay 2.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Notices the look from Sumner, and for some reason starts to feel disconcerted:

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps off the TL into organised bedlam, anti-grav carts and beds flying by to be set up, quickly taking over::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
TL: Cargo Bay 2.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
OPS: Good. Co-ordinate with the doc. Keep communications going.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
*CTO*: You've got it, Lieutenant. ::nods to one of the medical staff and sends them off running to the cargo transporter:: Try to come back without using any of it though, please?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CTO*: Get an assessment of the enemy force and report back, if we have to we'll pull the defence force back into the city and fight from a defensive position.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
*CMO*: It's unlikely, doc.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
*CO*: Yes, sir.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::orders damage control teams to key locations...in case::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
*CMO* I'll be sending the first wave of triage to you momentarily Doctor

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: I have nothing so far in orbit. I will try the surface.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO: Prep every armed shuttle and the aerowing to provide air support.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::smiles slightly:: *CTO*: Then give 'em hell and make them pay for every drop. Kymar out.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::nods, takes over TAC 2, logging in, and starts to get the shuttles and the Aerowing into gear::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::nods and starts sending his teams left and right:: *OPS*: Thank you, Ensign, we're ready down here.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS: Inform Starfleet of the situation, request any and all support.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Targets and initiates the first transport to sickbay::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::runs a power check on the weapons systems::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Types and sends the communiqué to SFC, requesting assistance against the Jem'Hadar attack force::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
<Nurse_Denim>: ::watches as the first horrors materialise, open wounds and gushing blood, burns and bruises covering everyone in some place or another, quickly forming up a team and getting it sorted::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO: There are a few disassembled frigates on the surface.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::moves back to his chair and toggles red alert.:: XO: Not taking any chances, not with Jem'Hadar...

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::enters the cargo bay, taking a phaser rifle and personal shield generator from Benson:: All: Listen up; we're facing an unknown number of Jem'Hadar soldiers. We're going into a combat zone; stay low, stick to cover, and shoot to kill. ::gives everyone a look before nodding, moving to the cargo transporter:: Chief: Energize.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CO: I have to agree... ::has no love for the Jem'Hadar. clenches her teeth for a moment, before casting her eyes back to her work, staying focussed with some effort::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::watches the first casualties come in, rushing over to a biobed with his tricorder out:: Nurse: Ketolane, 3ccs! He's got a fractured tibia, several abdominal bleeding and second degree burns across his right side. Prep for surgery!

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::crouches down as he awaits transport, the rest following suit::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CTO*:  We've got a few disassembled frigates on the surface, that’s got to be their source.  We'll keep an eye on any movements from that position.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Scan that area, I want to know what’s down there, every soldier, every weapon.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
*CO*: Sounds like they plan to stay.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
CO/XO: I detect about 1000 soldiers in the outskirts of the city. They are arranged in a front at the edge of the city.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
*CTO*: So did the Cardassians....we all know what happened there.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
::wears a grim sort of smile:: *CO*: I did say "plan."

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Tranports the next batch of, less critical, injuries to the Cargobay::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
XO: Ma'am, this makes no sense. We should contact the Federation council.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::lets the team take the man away, transporting him to the surgical unit as he moves onto the next, a young woman still clutching her phaser rifle:: Nurse: Third degree burns, 5ccs Ketolane and get the dermaline gel over here! I thought I told you to have it at every station! ::looks around, seeing the staff still in the middle of carrying out his orders::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CEO: Torel has.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::nods and returns his attention back to his board::

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: Personnel start beaming down to the surface.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::gives CEO a grim look, showing him her worry::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::wonders if this was the first incursion...of a new war with the Dominion....but if so, where was the rest?::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Hears her name, looks up for a moment, but then puts her head back down to sourcing the weaker lifesigns::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::keeps an eye on the area::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS: Send a transmission all channels.  Inform the Jem'Hadar force who we are and to stand down.  If they refuse....we'll open fire on their forces and base.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@ ::shimmers back into existence, and takes a moment to take in the scene: absolute chaos:: Team: Move out! ::runs towards the nearest cover, popping out and taking a few shots at decloaking Jem'Hadar::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CO: Suggest we arrange ordinance in the Jem'Hadar's path. Anything to slow them down and give Sumner a chance.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Opens the channels, and transmits the message, with no response::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods.:: XO: Agreed, have the air support cover the perimeter as well.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: No response Captain, but looking at the lifesigns any ships fire would also hit friendlies

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::sends down her orders to the pilots.:: CO: Ready on your command... ::turns to face CO::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Starts to get frustrated at the jammers interfering with the targeting sensors::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO: Engage the Jem' Hadar.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::moves from cover to cover towards the planetary forces:: All: Who's in charge, here?!

Host Andrew says:
@<Bremerton> CTO: Over here! ::yells over the noise::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Tell the air support to hit any large ordinance, try to hit the jammers.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
*Shuttle Bay*: Engage. ::turns to CSO: Get me a detailed scan of the area in front of the Jem'Hadar troops. I want to see possible locations for mines...

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::makes his way to Bremerton:: Bremerton: Lieutenant Sumner, CTO of the Kraken; what's the situation?

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CO: Orders received, sir. ::steps forward:: CO: Sir, I think we need more eyes down there. I want to take Kymar with me. We may need him.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::reaches into the wound of his next patient, stemming the flow of blood from the thick artery in his neck while his staff struggle with coagulants and drag over the surgical kit::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
Nurse: I need a nanosuture, quickly! ::feels the blood spurting down his arm and across his coat::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
XO: Aye, I will do what I can. I am a little rusty on my tactical training. Most of it was a life time ago.

Host Andrew says:
@<Bremerton> CTO: Lieutenant Bremerton. The situation... we're in serious danger of being overrun. Even retreating is difficult. Casualties are high.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Manages to transport more injured to the Cargobay::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::grabs it from the worried young Ensign as he dashes over, spreading the wound apart with a since, watching the tide of lifeblood flow profusely, quickly performing the grisly surgery to rebind the arteries::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
CSO: Do what you can. I want you to take out as many of them as you can without undermining the colonists or our own people.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Alright, take the doctor with you, he can manage triage from there.  The moment the Jem'Hadar break through the defence, we're pulling you all out.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::nods and works with the ship's computer to find locations to place mines that will slow down the Jem'Hadar::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CSO:  Scan their base as well, if we hit their fall back point, we might get them to split their forces.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: Captain, incoming transmission from Starfleet.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::nods, glancing around to his team, and the planetary troops:: Bremerton: Alright, we need to shore up the flanks to secure a retreat. I'll move my team into position, and you get yours ready to run like hell, alright?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS: Put it through.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::nods and takes half a skip back as she turns already running for the TL. Slaps her comm badge as the doors open:: *CMO*: Dremel. Meet me in the Transporter Room. We're going down. Bring med kits for us both.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Puts the transmission up on the big screen::

Host Andrew says:
@<Bremerton> ::nods, happy for the help:: CTO: We'll be ready.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::turns and takes one last look at CO as the door slips closed. Wonders morbidly if this isn't the last time she'll see him::

Host Andrew says:
<Admiral_Rainier> COM: CO: Captain A'an, the situation on New Juarez is quite a surprise, not only to Starfleet but apparently to the Dominion as well. One of our contacts assures us they know nothing of this attack.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps back as the bleeding stops, suturing up the wound:: Nurse: Get him prepped for surgery, I have a feeling we're going to have more. ::pushes his surgical kit out of the way and picks up another:: *XO*: I'm on my way, meet you there.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Admiral:  Well, they wouldn't exactly admit it if they did sir, but it fits with some of the lintel we've gotten.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::watches Kesh leave and sighs, then calls for a replacement and moves for the XO's chair::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::taps his combadge:: *Team*: Shore up the flanks; get your grenades ready, throw them on my mark, and lay down a field of fire to cover the retreat! ::scrambled towards one of the weaker areas of the line, and gets a grenade ready, keeping a line of sight to Bremerton::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::rushes off into the TL, heading straight for the transporter room while he buckles on his old phaser pistol and slips his medical tricorder in along side it::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Pays attention to the Admiral on the screen::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
COM: Admiral: Admiral, someone is either leading them or controlling them with Ketracel white. This is more than just a few Jem'Hadar.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*XO*: They have a few scattered bases and we have their location. With the computer's help I have a list of possible locations for the mines.

Host Andrew says:
<Admiral_Rainier> COM: CO: They have offered to send an envoy to try and take control of the Jem'Hadar. Starfleet has agreed.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@::works to steady his breathing:: *Team*: Throw 'em! ::chucks his grenade over cover, and signals for Bremerton to fall back before joining his team in laying down a heavy field of covering fire::

Host Andrew says:
@<Bremerton> ::shouts to his team to move back and they begin to do so::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Admiral:  Adalberto's right, Admiral.  There's never been an insurgency this large, not since the end of the Dominion War. We've got over a thousand Jem'Hadar down there, and with all due respect to the Dominion envoy, this will all be over long before they get here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
*CSO*: I know this isn't your field, Ix, but Sumner and his people are occupied. See to it.

Host Andrew says:
@ACTION: The line retreats. Some soldiers go down from Jem'Hadar fire, but the retreat is generally successful.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::exits TL and sprints to TR::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*XO*: Yes ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@*Team: Fall back! Fall back to the defensive perimeter! ::continues to lay down fire, ducking occasionally as he moves with the rest::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::steps up onto the transport pad, nodding to the chief and waiting for the XO::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::knows this is probably a bad time, but she has to do it:: *CTO*: Ix to Sumner. Commander Suder has requested that we deploy some mines to hold off the Jem'Hadar. I will send you the list of their locations.

Host Andrew says:
<Admiral_Rainier> COM: CO: We're diverting the USS Edmonds, but they'll be at least a week. In the meantime, leave all non essential personnel to assist the troops on New Juarez and take the Kraken through the wormhole. The envoy will transfer to your ship there where you'll escort them through Federation space back to New Juarez.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::grabs two phasers, throws one to CMO, sees his old pistol strapped to his hip:: CMO: Med kit. ::holds out her hand as she turns to Transporter chief:: *CTO*: Suder to Sumner. Two beaming in to your position. ::Nods to Chief::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CO: With all due respect sir, at best there will be a stalemate while we wait. Worst case, the Jem'Hadar kill everyone while we go fetch some shapeshifter.

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: We don't really have the time. *XO*: Negative! Negative! Beam to the city!

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
COM: Admiral:  A week?!  Admiral the colony's near defeat, and we all know what the Jem'Hadar do to survivors.  We've located what we think is their command centre, if we hit them, we might force them to at least split their forces or retreat altogether.

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::catches that just before they beam:: *CTO*: Acknowledged.

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::hands the medkit over, slipping the phaser into his coat pocket - just in case:: XO: Just like old times, 'eh? ::glances at her from the corner of his eye, the edge of his lip curling into a smile::

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
*CTO*: I will deploy them from here. I just want to make sure you know where they are.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Continues to listen to the conversation between the Kraken and SFC::

CTO_Lt_Sumner says:
@*CSO*: Got it! ::breaks into a sprint with the rest of the crew towards the city's defences::

Host XO_Cmdr_Suder says:
::a cold smile appears on her lips for half a moment:: CMO: Nothing like a fire-fight to clear the head. Chief: Energise.

Host Andrew says:
<Admiral_Rainier> COM: CO: With the situation as it is, we feel it better the envoy is permitted. Your orders stand, Captain. The quicker you stop arguing with me the quicker you can get back to the colony.

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The XO and CMO beam down.

CSO_Ens_Ix says:
::sends the list to the CTO's team and proceeds to deploying the mines::

CMO_Cmdr_Kymar says:
::pulls out his phaser pistol, shifting into the calculating terrorist that pushed an overwhelming force from his own planet, and quickly ducks into cover to get a lay of the land - wondering just what exactly it's going to turn into down here::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
CO: They will have to hold the line....for a week.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Grits his teeth, biting back his anger.::  COM: Admiral: .....Understood.  Please inform DS9, we're not stopping for any red tape.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
Self: Damnit.

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
OPS: Open a link to Commander Suder please.

Host Andrew says:
<Admiral_Rainier> COM: CO: You won't be stopping at DS9 at all. Straight through the wormhole; we're sending you the coordinates. Godspeed.

Host Andrew says:
ACTION: The comm is closed.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CEO:  I need every ounce of speed we can pull and then some more.   We're going to be flying with a skeleton crew, beam down everyone else, armed heavy.  Send down everything we can, ordinance, medicine, we leave in 10 minutes.
