CSO_Hazzem says:
::Looks at the new faces::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
Aide: Could you please upload File R-Z01 to that console display? ::Gestures to the screen at the far wall::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Nods to the new arrivals::

Host CO-Toorain says:
ADM: As we will doubtless need their expertise, I felt it best that they join us.

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Nods at Adm_Selek::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Calm herself::  ~~~~CMO: Sorry hun.  I couldn't resist it. by the way, fashion tip.  your mouth looked better closed!~~~~

FCO_Ekaf says:
CMO: Do you have a medical Tricorder on you ma’am?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Nods at the Admiral::

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: Lt. Jameson picks up what appears to be the audio transmission of space battle.

CIV_Xerxes says:
::Scrolls over the current condition of the ship and begins to isolate command structure paths to and from the bridge and computer cores::

Host CO-Toorain says:
CEO/CSO: Take a seat.

CMO_Suder says:
::Shuts her mouth:: ~~~OPS: Good idea...keep them coming!~~~

CMO_Suder says:
FCO: Why Ekaf?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Takes a seat. Starts to tense::

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Takes a seat on the opposite to the Romulans::

FCO_Ekaf says:
CMO: I'd like to borrow it for a few minutes please.

CMO_Suder says:
FCO: Why?

OPS_Jameson says:
CMO:  There's an audio being picked up.  It sounds like a battle!

EO_O`Riley says:
Ens_Brigs: You have ME, I will head for the impulse engines.

FCO_Ekaf says:
CMO: I...I'd like to take a reading of myself, as I don't want to distract you from your bridge duties.

EO_O`Riley says:
::Heading for deck 23 ::

CMO_Suder says:
OPS: Can you let us hear it?

CIV_Xerxes says:
::Isolates the prefix codes and taps fingers on the table::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Waits for his aide to load the file into the console display::

CMO_Suder says:
::Sits up, decides to leave the CO in the BR till she's sure it's something to drag him out for::

EO_O`Riley says:
::Entering TL ::TL: Deck 23, engines.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Puts it on bridge sound system::

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Leans back into the Chair::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Thinks "I don't like this at all"::

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Rubs eyes::

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: Garbled transmission sounds like a Romulan vessel requesting assistance under attack by a Federation vessel....

CMO_Suder says:
::Sits back:: *CO*: Captain to the bridge

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::The file shows a map of Romulan space without the names of worlds, only assigned numbers [although SFI probably has the names], and the locations of destroyed ships ... all Romulan::

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: Usual scream's, static, firing of torpedoes and phasers

CMO_Suder says:
OPS: Anya, where is it coming from?

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Quirks eyebrow as the Captain is commed to his bridge::

EO_O`Riley says:
::Stepping out of the lift onto deck 23. entering engines room ::

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Sighs and stands:: ALL: Excuse me.  I'll be right back.  *CMO* Report? ::Walks straight out onto the bridge::

CNS_Albrin says:
::Winces a little at the images::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Studies the map::

XO_Esjam says:
Selek: I am sure that this will not take a moment

OPS_Jameson says:
CMO: I'll try to clear it up, and try to pinpoint.

Host Admiral_Selek says:
XO: Fine.

CMO_Suder says:
::Stands up and walks straight over to the CO, leaning close so only he can hear:: CO: captain, we have just picked up a transmission, sounds like a Romulan vessel being attacked by one of our ships, sir

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Tries to resist tapping her fingers::

CMO_Suder says:
OPS: Thank you...  CO: Attempting to determine it's location now

EO_O`Riley says:
::Scans the impulse reactors ::

CIV_Xerxes says:
::Loads the command onto her padd and then inserts a command verification protocol into the system.. grumbles about what the captain did during the last mission and closes the console out::

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Nods:: FCO: Lay in a course for the battle as soon as we have the co-ords, maximum warp.

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Grits his teeth at the names of the ships ... knowing about the lives lost there::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Wonders about that aide's attitude problem::

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Places hands on hips::

FCO_Ekaf says:
CO: Yes sir

CIV_Xerxes says:
::Stands up and grins slightly no one saw her.. leaves Main Engineering::

Host CO-Toorain says:
*Selek* Admiral, bad news.

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Looks up:: *CO* And what would that be?

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Looks at the Captain::

Host CO-Toorain says:
*Selek* It appears that another of your vessels is under attack.

CIV_Xerxes says:
::Heads for the science labs and more research::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Stands up abruptly, and motions for his Aide to come with him as he moves for the bridge:: CO: Where Captain?! ::As he comes out onto the bridge::

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Looks at Hazzem ::

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: The Romulan vessel is identified as the RES Shorak approximate co-ordinates are 5 light years away

Host CO-Toorain says:
ADM: We're trying to determine that now.

CMO_Suder says:
::Wonders if the direct approach was the way to go::

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Plots a course at full warp to the coordinates of the battle::

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Follows the Admiral and Captian::

OPS_Jameson says:
CO: I can't find a location.  The Signal is too distorted at the moment.

CEO_Bolitho says:
XO: Sir You want us back on the bridge

Host Admiral_Selek says:
CO: Is it confirmed that it's under attack by the same vessel responsible for the 
other attacks?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Looks at Tam::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Inspiration!!!::

CMO_Suder says:
OPS: Can you give us a general direction?...anything at all?

Host CO-Toorain says:
OPS: Can you get an approximation?

XO_Esjam says:
CEO: Definitely ::follows the Romulans and takes his seat on the bridge::

Host CO-Toorain says:
CMO: Any idea as to the identity of the ship?

OPS_Jameson says:
CO: Got the co-ordinates sir.  transmitting them to FCO

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: Configuration of attacking vessel is Constellation class

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Gets up walks to the bridge::

FCO_Ekaf says:
CO: Ready to engage, warp 9.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Gets up and heads to science 1::

CMO_Suder says:
CO: None sir...

Host CO-Toorain says:
FCO: Lay in a course maximum warp.  Engage.

FCO_Ekaf says:
OPS: Got them thanks

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Stands near the CO ... watching the Starfleet crew work::

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Walks to the engineering consol and activates it ::

FCO_Ekaf says:
CO: Engaging! ::engages::

Host CO-Toorain says:
FCO: Time to intercept?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Monitors the audio message::

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Runs Diagnostic on all systems::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Initiates long range sensors::

CNS_Albrin says:
::Gets up and looks one more time at the images on the screen, then leaves for the bridge, solemnly taking her seat::

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: Seleya's ETA 7 minutes 23 seconds

CMO_Suder says:
::Stands on her tip-toes in frustration::

FCO_Ekaf says:
CO: Sir our ETA is 7 minutes 14 seconds

Host Admiral_Selek says:
CO: Can you not go any faster?

Host CO-Toorain says:
CTO: Red Alert, all hands to battle stations.  ::moves to his seat and sits in it::  FCO: Can we go to warp 9.6?
CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Hears the Romulan:: CO: I can get us up to warp 9.75

OPS_Jameson says:
::Begins to sense pain as they near the battle ground::

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Activate red alert ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Monitors shields and damage control::

EO_O`Riley says:
::Engines are at max ::

Host CO-Toorain says:
FCO: Do it.

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Increases speed::

FCO_Ekaf says:
CO: Done sir

CMO_Suder says:
::Slips into her seat on the bridge and informs her med teams to expect casualties::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Grateful that the FCO is willing to push this ship to it's fullest ... but not that 
grateful::

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Sees all systems a running as they should ::

Host CO-Toorain says:
CSO: Do we have any data on either of the ships?

CNS_Albrin says:
::Glances at Suder::

CMO_Suder says:
::Senses CNS looking at her and casts her gaze that way::

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Starts tactical scans::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks at Kesh in understanding::

EO_O`Riley says:
::Receives report from Ens_Brigs about unauthorized access to Main Engineering::

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: Seleya tactical scans detect nothing but wreckage

CEO_Bolitho says:
*EO* Bolitho to O'Riley

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: ::Monitors sensors:: Sir, I have a debris field there

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: Sir I am detecting only wreckage sir.

EO_O`Riley says:
*CEO* O'Riley here.

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Starts scanning the wreckage::

Host CO-Toorain says:
Self: Damn..... CSO/CTO: Any sign of our vessel?  A Constellation class cruiser.  Scan for warp trails.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks at the view screen in confusion.  but...::

CEO_Bolitho says:
*EO* what is going on down there

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Closes his eyes in disgust::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Goes on with the scans::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Poor men, even though they were Romulans, they didn't deserve to die::

CNS_Albrin says:
CO: I'm not sensing any survivors, Captain.

EO_O`Riley says:
*CEO* All systems at full efficiency. But we had an unauthorized access to main engineering. 

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: Nothing sir but the wreckage is of a Romulan ship sir.

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Nods, sadly::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: Sir, no warp traces whatsoever

CEO_Bolitho says:
*EO* Have you traced the culprit?

CMO_Suder says:
::Sighs and sadly tells her crew to stand down, but to stay alert for possible romulan reprisal...::

XO_Esjam says:
CO: Sir, if I may, I don't think that we should assume that the Constellation ship is 'our vessel'. No Federation crew would act this way

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Stands and turns:: CSO: Scan for a trail....more a direction actually..... with an anomalous magnetic geometry.  If they used a magnetic pulse to mask their warp trail, that should show the direction they went in.

Host Rom_Aide says:
ACTION: Wreckage appears to be from a Romulan Warbird D'Deridex Class

OPS_Jameson says:
::Resists the urge to slam her fist into something, preferably the people on the stolen ship::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Walks off to the side of the bridge, angered at the occurrence::

Host CO-Toorain says:
XO: Even if it's not a Starfleet crew, it sounds like a Federation vessel.

EO_O`Riley says:
*CEO* Actually I am on my way back to Main Engineering, I have checked the impulse engines, I will report everything new to you.

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: Yes sir

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Carries on the scans::

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: Can we speak in private sir?

CEO_Bolitho says:
*EO* Acknowledge I trust you will make a speedy report

EO_O`Riley says:
::On his way to Main Engineering ::

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Nods:: CTO: Of course ::moves into the ready room:: XO: Keep me informed.

CMO_Suder says:
CTO: Any reports of missing or stolen Constitution class ships recently?

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Keeps an eye on the conn readings::

XO_Esjam says:
CO: Aye Sir

CTO_T`Pal says:
CMO: Not to my knowledge ma`an ::Follows the CO::

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Walks into the ready room::

Host CO-Toorain says:
CTO: What is it?

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Watches the CO and CTO go into the Ready Room::

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: What I am about to tell you is classified by SFI. But do you remember the mission me and ENS Day were sent on by Admiral Bolithlo?

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Nods:: CTO: Keep going......

OPS_Jameson says:
::Keeps monitoring for other ships in distress nearby::

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO:I Have seen this ship before and in action.

Host CO-Toorain says:
CTO: I see.......

FCO_Ekaf says:
CMO: Your medical Tricorder please?

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: It is not a normal constitution class vessel. It has equivalent armament as the Seleya I watched it take out a Romulan Warbird in minutes.

Host CO-Toorain says:
CTO: Your analysis?

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Looks around at the bridge wondering what is going on ::

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: The ship had a strange temporal signature almost like it was not from our time sir. It 
should be considered hazardous at least sir.

CMO_Suder says:
::Looks over at the FCO, almost sure she had this conversation with him already:: FCO: why?

XO_Esjam says:
CMO: So hows your brief command?

EO_O`Riley says:
*CEO* Ma'am. It is alright. our CIV had accessed the databases. I will have a word with her later on. Just to tell her to speak to an ENG officer before using Main Engineering terminals.

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Nods:: CTO: I see.  That everything?

FCO_Ekaf says:
CMO: As I said before I'd like to take a reading of myself.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Waits for the captain to come back::

CEO_Bolitho says:
*EO* I believe that is my department Lt

CMO_Suder says:
::Looks at XO:: XO: Scary, exhilarating...and I got there before you, so I'm happy!

CTO_T`Pal says:
CO: Every thing of any consequences I believe I can get you a copy of the temporal signature if you would like sir.

CMO_Suder says:
::Sighs and hands over the Tricorder:: FCO: Surely I should take the readings...

EO_O`Riley says:
*CEO* As you wish ma'am.

CEO_Bolitho says:
*EO* Bolitho out

Host CO-Toorain says:
CTO: Please do.  ::walks back out onto the bridge::

FCO_Ekaf says:
CMO: You could...but you look a bit busy.

EO_O`Riley says:
::Returns to his duty ::

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Follows the CO::

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: Captain, I couldn't find anything about the warp traces

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Takes the Tricorder and starts to takes the scan::

Host CO-Toorain says:
CSO: Understood.  ADM: I'm sorry Admiral.

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Looks at the Tricorder readings and goes quiet with a worried look on face::

XO_Esjam says:
CMO: I'm glad it made you smile

Host Admiral_Selek says:
CO: As am I, Captain ... as am I.

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Returns to Tactical and retrieves the information and sends it to the CSO:: CSO: I’m sending you a reading of a temporal field which might help with scans sir.

FCO_Ekaf says:
::Hands the Tricorder back to the CMO silently::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Nods::

CMO_Suder says:
::Smiles gently at XO as she takes the Tricorder back and looks at the readings taken::

Host CO-Toorain says:
ADM: Shall we resume the briefing?

FCO_Ekaf says:
CMO: Th..thanks

OPS_Jameson says:
::Keeps monitoring::

CEO_Bolitho says:
::Leans back on her consol ...::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes. ::Moves back toward the Briefing Room, motioning for his Aide 
to follow::

Host CO-Toorain says:
XO/CEO/CNS/CSO: Back in there ::smiles and walks into the briefing room again:

CSO_Hazzem says:
CO: Aye sir

CTO_T`Pal says:
::Follows the Captain::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Follows the group::

CEO_Bolitho says:
CO: Yes sir  ::deactivates consol and heads for the BR::

XO_Esjam says:
CMO: See you later for dinner?

CMO_Suder says:
::Holds her breath and watches everybody return to the BR::

Host Rom_Aide says:
::Fights down his anger at the destruction of a Romulan ship not to mention a D'Deridex class warbird and follows the Admiral back into the briefing room::

Host Admiral_Selek says:
::Upon entering the briefing room, he brings up the file again ... adding the newest destruction into it::

CMO_Suder says:
XO: If I survive this with my sanity intact!

Host CO-Toorain says:
::Moves to his seat and sits, sighing::

XO_Esjam says:
::Smiles at the CMO as he goes back to the briefing room::

Host Rom_Aide says:
