Last time on the Scimitar:

Summary: The Jem'Hadar attack force was rapidly approaching the Scimitar Prime and Scimitar Beta. The CEO suggested joining the two ships together and merging the warp fields to create one warp field so both ships could escape. The XO asks the CTO to find any natural environments to use to their advantage, the CTO finding an asteroid field as the others discuss various options. The Jem Hadar close in on the ships, starting to fire at both vessels and the CO orders the CTO to hold fire so the Scimitar Prime appears defenceless, a tactic to lure more ships in.

The Scimitar reaches the asteroid field as the CSO suggests deploying reserve antimatter pods and igniting them. While they sit debating options, the Jem Hadar close in more, battering both ships. The Scimitar Beta is disabled and, within moments, surrounded by Jem Hadar ships. The mother-ship starts to take prisoners and destroy the Scimitar Beta more.

The XO, unable to contain his emotions any more, starts to order a battery of things, overriding the Captain's authority knowingly. After an argument on the Bridge, the XO left, re-routing the Turbolift mid journey from XO's Quarters to the Shuttle bay. The Scimitar Prime is about to start salvaging what is left of the Scimitar Beta and planning how to rescue the Scimitar Beta crew.

Captain's Log,  Stardate 10908.10: We have taken cover in the asteroid field and repairs are progressing, the last I heard we had impulse power, we're just waiting for the salvage crews to strip the other Scimitar.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::on the not-so-big chair (not TM), trying to get comfortable::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::in the big chair (TM) reading progress reports::

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Being reeaaalllyyy slow getting to the bridge::

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::In sickbay preparing his staff for yet another long shift::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Looking over tactical display reviewing systems and things looking grim should we get into a fight::

FCO Lt. Numark says:
:: at flight console holding the ships position::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@::sits down in the dirty chair and brings up the main systems display::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CSO: Is there anything on the long range sensors, Commander?

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
::runs his hands over the console:: XO: So far nothing, sir. We seem to be in the clear...for now.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: Sir, weapons are at standby but are fully charged.  I have a localized dampening field in place over the emitters which should mask their status.

SO Ens. Percy says:
::As he starts to reach the bridge he slows his pace::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@::shakes his head as he reads the latest reports on the Scimitar-Beta's weapons systems, then taps his commbadge:: *CO*: Strauss to Ethan.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
CO: I would like to request that once the salvage of critical parts has been completed that salvaging of the experimental dimensional weapon be next on the list

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::shifts in his chair, eyeing the console and replies:: CSO: Understood. I know you have already done this but ensure the CTO is fully informed of all the information about the star charts ,so we can use the environment to our advantage

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
XO: You're right...I already have done that.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CTO: It's already on the list. ::taps his badge:: *CEO*: Go ahead Mikael.

SO Ens. Percy says:
::As he enters the bridge he turns around and bends, letting one go in the CSOs general direction. It was silent but deadly and no one noticed::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*We've tried everything, but this ship will never fight again unless we get her to a dry dock and replace her weapon systems....but impulse, shields and warp are operational....to a point.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: Lieutenant Vendal, have you had a chance to analyse the records from my shuttle and the... attack... ::looks at him intently::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Looks back at the CSO and the strange and horrible smell coming from his direction:: CSO: Are you OK, do you need a relief?

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*: My recommendation sir.....we use both ships to get back home.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: Grab that experimental weapon they were working on, we might be able to get it to work over here... apart from that, strip anything that works for spare parts.

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
::turns around:: CTO: Excuse me? ::a moment passes, then his nostrils are filled with the smell of rotten eggs:: Blimey !

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Walks to his console and sits, trying not to laugh::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I have analysed all the data.  All their weapons appeared to be the same as the ones from our dimension, was there a specific point of interest you wished me to explore?

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::checks on the status of medical supplies and makes a list of things that need to be replicated::

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
::looks over at the SO and growls, then smacks him in the back of the head::

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Takes a big sniff:: CSO: I love the smell of burnt farts in the morning.

SO Ens. Percy says:
CSO: Owie!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: If there was any variance in their attack patterns to what we have already on our data banks

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
SO: Focus! Take over long range sensor detail.

SO Ens. Percy says:
CSO: Yes, sir.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: What's the word from engineering?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
FCO: Lieutenant Numark, have you plotted the best possible route to the mother-ship, I don't think we should confront it in the open?

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*: The only spare parts I want, is the nacelle....and without a dry dock or a planet to land on, the repairs will take from 3 to 4 weeks...

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: Nothing that wouldn't be contributed to unexpected forces or manoeuvres.  Their responses to our actions seemed to be predictable actually

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: We don't have 3 to 4 weeks... can you fit it on the fly?

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::rubs his temple, a headache forming as he shifts in his position:: CO: Captain, I thought you were the one talking to the CEO, not I

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*::sighs:: No sir. I hate to tell you, but either we take the ship that can fly, or the one that can fight.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: working on it Sir.

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Starts to hum the "annoying song"::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: What about your idea of extending the warp field? We could use that ship for propulsion and this one to fight with.

EO Ens. Bach says:
::turns around from the Engineering console on the Bridge:: XO: All systems operational besides warp drive, sir.

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*: I am ready when you are sir, I can take command of the Beta and engulf you in my warp field. My staff have already set up the system on your end.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: Captain we are almost good to go. All we need is the warp field. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Have you any idea how their experimental weapon works?

SO Ens. Percy says:
CSO: Wait a sec... what's going on? I forgot....

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: I have not been able to access their data on it, until it is brought to the ship I will not be able to study it

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*: If we need to fight, we have to drop out of warp first. Please remember that. The Scimitar alpha cannot handle more than a simple jump with us.

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*: I have prepared transport of the weapon already sir, the shuttle should reach you momentarily.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CEO*: As much as I trust your abilities Mikael, I want some bridge crew over there. ::turns to the XO:: XO: Take Numark, Vendal and some grunts from OPS and take command on the other Scimitar, we're going to have to use both ships.

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Looks around confused::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@*CO*: Understood, I will wait for them on the Bridge.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CO: Aye sir. ::raises up from his seat:: FCO/CTO/Zen: Numark, Vendal, Zen you are with me, lets go. Now.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Yes Sir. ::gets up::

SO Ens. Percy says:
CSO: Sir? I asked a question.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
XO: And Ren... Take Percy with you.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
XO: Aye Sir. :: stands from the console and follows the XO::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
::Motions for TO to take station and moves to the TL::

SO Ens. Percy says:
CO: Wha?

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
SO: You heard.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::starts walking to the Turbolift:: CO: Yes. Sir. ::looks at Percy:: SO: Crewman, with me, now.

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Comes after the XO, slowly::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::enters the turbolift:: SO: You have ten seconds, Ensign. One... Two...

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@::walks over to the Turbolift:: TL: Bridge. ::thinks this will be one hell of a ride::

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Runs, jumps and flies into the Turbolift::

OPS Lt. Zen says:
::pushes Percy into the lift:: Aloud: Oops.

CMO_Lt_Powers says:
::Notices that there are dosages of Ambrazine and Rexalin missing::

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Hits the back of the Turbolift:: Aloud: DAMN!!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
Computer: Transporter Room one. Priority one ::stands with his arms folded, reaching up to rub his temple again::

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
::turns his chair around:: CO: Does this mean I have to do his ::motions for the XO:: job too ?

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Stands up, rubbing his head::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
CSO: We'll be down to a skeleton crew on both ships, damn right you'll be doing his job.

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
::sighs:: CO: Yes sir.

SO Ens. Percy says:
XO: What are we doing??

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
XO: So where do you want me sir?  Their tactical station is useless without weapons

FCO Lt. Numark says:
::in the turbolift looking around motionlessly::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
::exits the turbolift:: All: I hope that you are all armed, this is a war situation. ::starts walking:: SO: Ensign you are serving as the science officer

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
CTO: You will be focussing on the experimental weapons, Lieutenant ::steps onto the pad::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@XO: Aye sir

ACTION: The away team is beamed over.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@::moves to the centre chair and sits down:: OPS: Lieutenant, open a channel to the Scimitar Prime. CEO: Are ready to go?

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@XO: Aye Sir 

SO Ens. Percy says:
@::Sits at the his console::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Moves to the tactical station to see what info it has on the experimental weapon:: Self: I wonder.

OPS Lt. Zen says:
XO: Yes Lieutenant Romak. ::taps a console:: Channel open.

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: Yes sir, if the FCO moves us into these coordinates. ::sends the data to the conn:: I will start the warp drive and slave the prime to our field.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@Computer: I am needing access to files concerning dimensional weapon.  Display all available data on previous tests and diagnostics on this station

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@COM: Scimitar Prime: Scimitar Beta to Scimitar Prime, we are all set to go. Moving into position now and then Lieutenant Commander Strauss will begin extending the warp drive

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
::sees the active COM link:: COM: XO: We're good to go over here Lieutenant.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@:: receives the coordinates from the CEO and inputs them into the console::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: Ready sir.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@CEO: Make it so, Lieutenant Commander

SO Ens. Percy says:
@::When no one was looking he pulled out the 24th equivalent of a Twinkie::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: Activating warp drive......diverting power from weapons to warp field......Scimitar prime is matching our field exactly just like in the simulations..........

@ACTION: SO starts choking on his food.

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: XO: What's the hold up?

SO Ens. Percy says:
@Aloud: H-h-elp!!!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@COM: Scimitar Prime: No hold up, we are ready, Sir.

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: We are ready for warp 4 in 5.........4.......3......2.......1..... engaged.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Slams his fist into the console:: Self: Damn lockouts, what I wouldn't give to be a expert security hacker

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
COM: XO: Let's get this show on the road then. You have the engines here.

SO Ens. Percy says:
@::Choking:: Aloud: H-h-h-h-ee-ll-p!!

@ACTION: SO turns purple.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@::strides up to the SO, slaps him HARD on the back, dislodging the food::

SO Ens. Percy says:
::Twinkie all over the floor::

ACTION: Both ships jump to warp.
TIME LAPSE: 4 hours.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@XO/*CO*: Sir Jem'Hadar mother-ship is on a return course set to intercept us

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*CTO*: Time to intercept?

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: I suggest we drop out of warp if we plan to fight, the Scimitar prime is unable to handle any stress at this velocity.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@CEO: Agreed. FCO: Drop us out of warp and begin loading evasive manoeuvres

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@All: Red Alert

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@XO: Aye Sir 

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@XO/*CO*: We have less than 5 min, they may not be at maximum velocity

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Searches stellar maps for some defensible position::

SO Ens. Percy says:
@All: Daaaaamnnn.

FCO Lt. Numark says:
@::drops from warp and prepares for evasive manoeuvres::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*XO*: Use whatever sensors you have at your disposal to scan that ship for weak points. ::turns to tactical:: TO: Target the Jem'Hadar's shield emitters and fire full spread.

ACTION: Jem Hadar Mother ship enters range and focuses all attention on the Scimitar Beta.

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
CO: I shall attempt to scan for Federation signatures within the ship.

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: They are targeting us! shields at maximum!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Looks at controls for dimensional weapon:: Self: I wonder if this thing can still do anything, maybe a slight tweak and it can disrupt their shields.

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Begins looking at ways to modify output of dimensional weapon for a dispersal beam effect on their shields::

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@CEO: Give us as much power as you can, Commander. FCO: Lieutenant, evasive manoeuvres, we really need you to be good right now

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: Shields are already maxed sir!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@Self: Raka-ja ut shala morala...

SO Ens. Percy says:
@XO: Ya know, I feel like I'm doing nothing.

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@::holds onto his console:: XO: We are taking direct hits! Shields down to 45% Structural damage on decks 6, 11 and 14!

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@CEO: Get your damage teams prioritized, we need this ship to hold it together!

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Frustrated with his lack of access Vendal starts trying to hack into the system to access the controls for the weapon::

@ACTION: Shields drop on the Scimitar Beta. The Jem Hadar are not focusing on the Scimitar Prime at all.

SO Ens. Percy says:
@::So bored he pulls out another Twinkie::

CO Capt. MacAllister says:
*XO*: We're working on it! ::turns to Tactical:: TO: Extend our shields around the other Scimitar!

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:
@XO: SIR! We need to beam back NOW! Before we're all dead!

@ACTION: Boarding parties beam onto the Scimitar Beta bridge.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@SO: Ensign, either you DO your JOB or I throw you in what is left of the brig for insubordination

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Extends what shields beta has to provide a second layer of defence to both ships::

CEO Lt. Cmdr. Strauss says:

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
::doesn't wait and attempts an emergency beam on all Federation signatures::

CSO Lt. Cmdr. York says:
FCO: Get us out of weapons range while we recover!

ACTION: The Scimitar Prime starts damaging the Jem Hadar and yet they do not react to them at all.

XO Lt. Ro'kar says:
@::disarms the nearest Jem'Hadar and uses the knife combined with his own blade martial arts skills::

CTO Lt. Vendal says:
@::Finds himself back to back with the XO, the small amount of training the XO has provided making a large difference as they can anticipate one another's moves::

@ACTION: The XO kills a couple of Jem Hadar before he is surrounded and knocked out by a blow to the back of the head. Once they have him, they back away from the fighting crew and beam out with Ro`kar in tow.
