Last time on the Scimitar:
The Scimitar senior staff have a meeting coming up and are preparing for the meeting - the CO and CTO arriving back on the ship. The CSO investigated the likelihood that Captain Rome had any notes in the Federation database on alternate universes. The MO deactivates the EMH just before the hologram was about to tell the XO something. The CSO is injured by a piece of falling ceiling and has to, grudgingly, accept treatment from the CMO as they are called into the meeting.

As the meeting gets under way, it is interjected with a drunk SO, someone to sort out later with the CSO. The senior staff began to discuss options, but with a missing warp nacelle, the options are drastic. The CEO and CO discuss various options and it is agreed that the Scimitar Prime should remain close to the Scimitar Beta, since between the two of them they could provide a decent defence against the Dominion.

As the XO returns to the Bridge to retrieve his PADD, a Jem'Hadar attack force is on long range sensors. Both ships opting to try to retreat in the face of the possible armed encounter. Time will tell if they make it out of this alive... and in one piece...

Captain's Log, Stardate 10907.20: We are about to be set upon by a herd of Dominion ships, we only have one nacelle and the chief Engineer wants to lop off the other one... who says the situation is hopeless. Once more into the breach.

<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission – In Search of Lost Time – Part 4>>>>>>>>>>

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::on the bridge, in the XO's chair, looking at the data streaming in::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sitting in his chair on the bridge::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::in sickbay, shouting at his sleeping subordinates::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::At station on bridge, final check list for battle finished and armed security crews in place::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: All targeting data in our data banks sent to the Scimitar Beta, sir.

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
::sitting in the CNS's chair on the Bridge, at the edge of her seat::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Hopefully some of our detailed knowledge given to us by the founders will help slow them down.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Good. ::turns to the XO:: XO: we don't stand a chance of outrunning that fleet, our only chance is to stand our ground.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
Sickbay: Anyone who is not at their proper stations and ready for incoming casualties in the next 5 minutes is on bedpan duty for the rest of their short careers!

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: Strauss to MacAllister.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Go.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::swallows as he looks at the CO:: CO: Captain, with all due respect, we do not stand a chance against a Jem Hadar ship in a crippled state.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Then we're screwed either way.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: I've done some preliminary calculations based on earlier attempts at joining warp fields with another ships, and we should be ready to attempt it soon, but I need both ships completely aligned and still.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: ETA on the Jem'hadar attack force 15 minutes!

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::watches as his staff scurry around, getting prepared::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Begins scans for number and make-up of incoming fleet::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Lieutenant, have you made any adjustments to the shields just in case they do catch up with us?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Contact the other Scimitar and co-ordinate with Commander Strauss to get them into position for his little experiment.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Me sir? I'm no engineer.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I have tuned the em field of the shields to the higher band, this was shown more effective in previous engagements with the Jem'hadar in the past

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
::gulps:: XO: So this is what they meant for us to feel during that Kobayashi Maru training...

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Good. Any other tactical suggestions? Have scans shown any natural environments we can use to our advantage?

ACTION: The other Scimitar starts moving away. A Comm message states they must retreat with weapons down and a crippled ship and suggest Scimitar Prime join them.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: No... Strauss is the engineer and he knows where the other ship needs to be.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: The Scimitar Beta is retreating sir.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: Captain, I recommend retreating with the Scimitar Beta - we cannot fight like this ::grits his jaw:: I will not allow it

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Sir, there is no time to align the ships and implement his plan.....perhaps the other Scimitar can tow us? Our SIF should be able to handle warp 2 while being towed, for at least.....10 minutes at the best. ::shrugs::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: Sickbay to Bridge.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: At their current velocity, could we deploy the Kanedas and use them as addition fire-power? ::looks at the CTO::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
Duty FCO: Set a course to follow the other Scimitar and try to keep up.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CMO*: Ro'kar here, Doctor.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Scans for any nearby nebula or asteroid belts to use as cover::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::launches a probe to stay put at their original coordinates to mark the spot they appeared::

FCO Lt. Ryan says:
CO: Yes siree Bob. ::starts piloting::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Your warp experiment is going to have to wait, we're retreating the best we can.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CSO: I would like to wait till they are closer, they are our only element of surprise

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: I'll get things started down here, oh and we've managed to dump reserve power into the sub lights, you should gain a little bit of speed sir.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Good, keep me informed.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Sir, earlier reports from the war report that Kaneda's were no match for the Jem'hadar.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Keep main weapons charged and mask their energy signatures... keep them trained on the lead ship.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: already done sir

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Sir, I am certain that the ship can handle a short warp while in tow, we just need to keep the deflectors at at least 120% efficiency.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: The SIF will handle the force for perhaps 10 minutes as I stated earlier. At best.

Scene: Some of the ships at the front of the fleet are moving in on the Scimitar's positions, catching up quicker than you can say 'Rometiklan'.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Are you suggesting we tow them or they tow us?

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: They are the ones that have warp sir.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::runs into Sickbay:: CMO: What's going on?! Did I hear that there were Dominion ships out there??

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Lieutenant, are the security officers standing by? In preparation of any boarding parties
CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Armed and deployed in key locations

ACTION: The first of the Jem Hadar fleet enter weapons range.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: We're just about set up down here. Can you give any indication as to when I can expect some customers?

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: The attack force is in weapons range!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: You might want to ask them for a tow then... before they get too far away.

ACTION: A few pot-shots come in, shaking the ship.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CMO*: The first of the Jem Hadar are entering weapons range - expect the usual casualties

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::nods and accesses the comm:: *Scimitar Beta*: Scimitar Beta, this is Commander York of the other Scimitar, are your tractor beams operational ?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Ties his console to Tac of Scimitar Beta and directs the pair to a nearby asteroid belt for cover and to provide fighter wings more of a surprise::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Hold fire, let them think we're defenceless... for now.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS_Solaa: Yeah, unfortunately you heard right. A Jem'Hadar attack fleet. I could do with your help down here if you feel up to it.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: Permission to prepare the fighters, sir?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: Great. I take it running away didn't work then.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Do it... don't launch them until we're out of their line of sight.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::wipes his sweaty palms on his trousers, his anxiety getting to him. He hated this side of the service::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CMO*: It is still an option, Doctor, and we are doing our best to minimize this encounter as much as possible. Have you set up a secondary Sickbay just in case?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: I have found a asteroid belt we can use to mask the fighters approach

Stuart MacAllister says:
@*CSO*: Well the units themselves, yes, but all our phaser and tractor emitters themselves were destroyed which is why we're running like a cow in the Scottish highlands with a fly up its... ::garbled signal::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*TIC*: Bridge to TIC, prepare two wings of Kanedas, hold launch until go ahead from CTO or one of the command staff. Weapons hot and primed for Jem Hadar warships

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: Yes, sir. I've set up a secondary Sickbay in Cargo Bay 1.

TIC says:
*XO*: Aye sir

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
*Scimitar Beta*: Blast it, we were hoping for a piggy back. I've calculated that our SIF can handle a short warp at warp factor 2.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: Oh... ::is taken aback:: Yes... well, that's why I'm here. ::smiles::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Take us into the asteroid field... put some big rocks between us and those dominion ships so we can launch the fighters.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::glances at the CTO:: CTO: Transmit the coordinates to the Science station and Scimitar Beta as well

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: I have a spare lab coat in my office. Things could get a little messy down here. ::grins::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::Scans the asteroid field and then stops to think::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO/CTO: Captain, Vendal....I have an idea.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I have already tied our tac station to that of the other scimitar, forwarding data to Science ::Forwards data and proposed positioning of the ship and fighters to Scimitar beta and CSO::

Stuart MacAllister says:
@*CSO*: We still have our grappling hook available?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Let's hear it.

ACTION: The CTO feels faint.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO/CTO: Our reserve antimatter pods.....they will create quite a bang if hit with a torpedo. If we manage to drop one directly between a cluster of rocks and then target it when we're out of the blast radius, it would send the asteroids flying in every direction.....but of course we would be in danger ourselves, so the FCO would have to be quick to dodge rocks if they came after us.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Slumps a bit and stands back straight with a bit of effort::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
*Scimitar Beta*: You think it would hold? Grappling hooks are not that stable.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: How good are you at dodging asteroids in an Akira-class?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CSO: we will have to be careful, the backup power on those pods do not last long once ejected

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: How long would we have to detonate?

Stuart MacAllister says:
@*CSO*: I dinnae bloody know!

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::looks at the CTO:: CTO: IT would have to be quick. How good a shot are you ?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: 30 seconds maybe 45

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::realizes she's wearing her civilian clothes:: CMO: Thanks... ::walks to his office to retrieve the coat::

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: Have you been in many battles on this ship?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CSO: I can have a lock on them and fire very fast that is not an issue

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
*Scimitar Beta*: Well neither do I! You are the one with the outdated technology, you do the maths!

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: Um... probably... Its all a blur, really...

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::looks at the Captain:: CO/CTO: Well ?

ACTION: The Jem Hadar come in for the first really heavy pass. The ships start taking damage. The Scimitar Beta flies back trying to divert some attention.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Plan us an escape route and prepare to engage as fast as we can. ::turns to Science:: CSO: Let the other scimitar know what we're doing and tell them they'd better be right on our tail when we run.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
FCO: How long to the asteroid belt?  We need to time the release of the pod just right

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
:: puts out a small fire:: *Bridge*: Engineering to Bridge, it would help to not sit around! We're taking damage down here!

Stuart MacAllister says:
@*CSO*: And you're the one with all the newer shiny stuff, so use some of it already! ::pauses:: We'd haver to be barely moving to hook you and then move less than half impulse unless you wanted a bigger view screen.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::feels the ship shake and knows that there are going to be casualties soon:: CNS: We're going to start getting busy pretty soon.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::curses under his breath::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Overhears CSO talking to the other ship:: CSO: what about us using our tractor beam to grab on for the ride?

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::nods to the Captain:: *Scimitar Beta*: Scratch that, we can't implement any of it right now. We are about to attempt to scatter the asteroid field to take out some of the Jem'hadar, follow us to the starboard!

ACTION: The sector fills with about 50 ships, all flying straight to the Scimitars. The first wave comes by for another pass.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CTO: Not a chance, it will only work the other way around. Their acceleration to warp would rip our tractor emitters clean off.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
All: The Kanedas are a lot more mobile than the Scimitar. Recommend deploying them to pick holes in the Jem Hadar

Captain Idrani says:
@*CO*: We're hit! Whatever your plan is, do it quickly because we're getting too damaged!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: If we deploy them now most will be picked off before they do anything, we need the screen of the asteroids

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CTO/FCO: I am ready, I've picked out a great spot in the asteroid field, it will create the most damage.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: How much difference would it make if we vent a cloud of warp plasma round the Antimatter pod?

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO/CTO: Since we only have one pass it this, there is a change the plasma cloud would lead the explosion back to us before it dissipated

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: It would increase the explosion by a factor of five, but we would need to modulate the shields for high energy heat dissipation

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::is starting to lose his cool:: CO: Captain, we need to do something NOW. Whether it is laying down covering fire, launching fighters or letting out antimatter

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CTO: We're running out of time, either we do this now or we don't.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CSO: Not if we followed it with a cloud of inert gas

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO/CSO: It's too risky, just run with what we have... and be quick about it, it's getting hot in here.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::nods:: CTO: Good idea.

ACTION: The second Scimitar is surrounded by ships and comes to a stop disabled. They swarm upon it, but it is now of no use in the bigger plan.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::watches as a few crew members come in with minor injuries and starts assigning his staff to deal with them::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CTO: Accessing gas release.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::nods:: CMO: Let's just hope our deck doesn't get blasted...

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Sir, the Scimitar beta is disabled....they are picking her apart...

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
XO: Should we launch fighters to help ?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Modulates shields for high energy heat dissipation:: CSO: Ready to target on your mark

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::programs the self release:: CTO: Ready !

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Can you get a lock on the crew?

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: That's a scary thought.

ACTION: The gas is released.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::accesses transporter controls:: CO: Sir....the Jem hadar have already beamed aboard......they number in the hundreds.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CTO: Release the pod!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Start beaming the Scimitar Beta crew across, now.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: You're supposed to be optimistic here!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Releases the pod then locks target on the pod, waits to correct position of the ship and fires::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Any life form that's not Dominion, grab it, before we detonate

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::slaves all transporters together and attempts to target all Starfleet signals and beaming them over::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::slams his fist down:: CO: Too late!

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
CO: They're being slaughtered...

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: They have them, seems like the mother ship is taking prisoners....but they are leaving the ship alone..

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: No!

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: You're the Counselor. I'm supposed to be stressing out and you're supposed to be calming me down. I'm not sure I can make it work the other way round.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Try again, Will. ::gets up off his chair:: AGAIN!

ACTION: The CTO hits his mark and detonates the pod, igniting it and the surrounding gas and taking out about 20 ships in close proximity.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
Kanedas: Launch now

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::looks sadly at the XO:: XO: The mother ship has it's shields up, I can't.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::watches the events unfold on the screen:: CSO: Status?!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Permission to fire?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Prepare boarding parties, there have to be some survivors! We have to do something! I am not losing my family... not again...

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
FCO: Watch out for rocks!

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Around twenty or some Jem'hadar ships dead or disabled sir!

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: You know I'm no good at counselling!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: And the mother ship?

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::tries to scan through the rubble::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Getting a lot of interference...

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Wait one.

ACTION: The Kaneda's are launched.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: Captain! We have to attack, we... we can't fail! ::is angry:: We waited too long, dammit. We sat around while they were slaughtered

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: Sure you are. You just have a unique style. I remember this one thing you used to do which calmed me down...

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::looks up at the XO and is glad he finally grew a pair::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Is there a shuttle? An escape pod? Something.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Mother ship is safe sir, no damage!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir we are loosing the initiative, we must strike soon if we are to disrupt them enough to survive

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Focus your fire on that mother ship, dent their shields. Get your best men ready to beam across.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Get a hold of yourself Lieutenant!!! We don't know what the rest of that fleet is capable of, attacking now could be suicide!

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
::turns scarlet:: CMO: John!

ACTION: The remaining 20 or so ships seem to stop where they are and assess the situation having lost 20 ships and gained a few prisoners.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO/XO: I hate to be the one to say it....but is there a change that other Scimitar has the same prefix codes as we do? It's just sitting there disabled....we might use it to create a warp core breach...

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
::puts her hand on the XO's arm:: XO: It's going to be okay. Some things can't be helped...

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I feel that would be a mistake sir, the beamed over crews would not survive

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::looks back at the CO:: CO: That. Is...was... my family...

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::laughs:: CNS: That got your mind off the Jem'Hadar didn't it?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: Has it occurred to you that we might need that ship?

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CSO: We need that ship to get the dimensional weapon to get us home

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::snarls:: CTO: You don't KNOW that, Lieutenant. Now do it

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Looks to the CO for orders concerning XO's risky order::

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
CO: Just pointing the possibility out sir.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Belay that order!

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Do you want me to relieve you of duty Lieutenant?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Captain. Those are our people, we cannot assume they are dead. They possess knowledge that can help us get out of this place

ACTION: The Jem'Hadar regroup and look as if they will attack but instead they go off into warp.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::stands up:: CTO: Vendal, what change do we have with full weapons and shields against 20 Jem'hadar attack ships? We do have a full load of quantum torpedoes and a detailed knowledge of their ships passed onto us after the war ended.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Send a probe to follow those ships

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
XO: Sir... they might be your family, but they're not even from the same universe...

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
XO: Aye sir! ::prepares a mark XI probe to follow the fleet::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CNS: I am not losing my father again... and....and my brother...Kenji... not Kenji...

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: Yes... well... ::exasperated sigh:: You are an incurable flirt, you know that?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::watches the Dominion fleet leave:: FCO: Take us back to the other Scimitar.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
XO: Probe launched.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::contemplates getting a shuttle and leaving himself:: CSO: I want updates every half hour, where they are going, if there are any weak spots... Anything...

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
::tries to be understanding:: XO: They are not your family in this universe... losing your father is what made you who you are. You are not the same and neither is he in this dimension... however you may feel about them.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::nods:: XO: Yes sir.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Report to the bridge, on the double.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::can feel his heart pounding in his chest... a strange feeling for him:: CO: We can't waste time, Captain, the longer we leave it the worse it will get.

CEO Lt.Cmdr. Strauss says:
*CO*: On my way.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Alter course, follow those Jem Hadar ships

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: One more outburst from you and I'll have you removed from the bridge!

CMO Lt. Powers says:
::smiles:: CNS: I've not changed all that much since we were together. ::notices that everything seems to be quiet:: We've not been hit for a while. Do you think we've won?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
FCO: Belay that and follow your previous instruction.

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: We might have retreated... you COULD call up there and see... I'm off-duty, remember? ::smiles::

CEO Lt. Strauss says:
::steps out of the Turbolift onto the Bridge:: CO: I'm here sir.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: Good point. *XO*: I notice that we haven't been shot for a while. What is going on up there, sir?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::looks at him angrily:: CO: Then I request to be relieved of duty until I feel that my personal feelings do not conflict with the mission objectives. Since seeing the debris seems more important than saving our people to you. Sir.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CEO: Assemble a team to go across and take control of the Scimitar Beta, we're going to have to use her for spares.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
*CMO*: The Captain is delirious, that is what is going on, Doctor.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*XO*: I'd best come and have a look then.

CEO Lt. Strauss says:
::looks out the view screen at the other ship:: CO: Aye sir....the nacelle....should I launch worker bees ?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: Very well. ::turns to Lennox:: CNS: Escort Lieutenant Ro`Kar to his quarters.

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: Did I hear him right? The captain's delirious?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CEO: Not yet, let's get both ships to relative safety first.

CSO Lt.Cmdr. York says:
::looks up at the XO and gives him an understanding nod::

CEO Lt. Strauss says:
CO: Tow it? Tractor beams are operational.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: I don't need an escort. ::looks at the CSO, finally seeing what the man sees::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CEO: For now maybe but it would be a bonus if we could get the ship to move under her own power.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Permission to keep fighters deployed as screen while we move to safe distance

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: Granted.

CEO Lt. Strauss says:
CO: Should I take command of her engineering deck?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::starts walking off the Bridge, to the turbolift:: Computer: XO's Quarters

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
::is relieved that the XO has left:: CO: Should I send someone to check on him, sir?

CEO Lt. Strauss says:
CO: I will need at least half of my team with me, along with some personnel from medical and tactical.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: And for your information Mister Ro`kar... MY brother is also in that ship... and he actually DID die!!

CNS Lt.Cmdr. Solaa says:
CMO: I doubt that it is MacAllister that is delirious...

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::does not respond and lets the door close:: Computer: Re-route this turbolift, Shuttle Bay 1

CMO Lt. Powers says:
*CNS_Lennox*: I've had some strange reports from the bridge about the CO. Do you need my medical opinion up there?

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
::thinks it was a bit childish for the CO to react like that:: CO: Sir! Pardon me, but I don't think that was the right thing to say to him...

CEO Lt. Strauss says:
::stands around waiting for his orders::

CNS Ens. Lennox says:
*CMO*: Emotions are running high, Dr. Powers... but there aren't any medical emergencies so far...

CMO Lt. Powers says:
CNS: Is it usually this mad around here?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::slams his fist into the turbolift wall as it goes down::

ACTION: XO leaves a nice fist-sized hole in the wall.
