Host Buzzard says:
Its now or never for the crew of the Seleya, either they manage to fend off the Borg forces and enter the Borg transwarp gate and again hope that their CSO has found away home for them or....they risk become Borg drones which may not be to bad an alternative to serving with Richard Bolitho....
Hazzem and Ivanova have sneaked into control room of the transwarp hub, while the 2 Seleya's have come out of warp on the edge of the Sol system, facing them so far are 12 Borg cubes.....

CSO_Hazzem says:

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
OPS: How’s the transporter lock going?

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: Aye Ma'am.

XO_Muir says:
:: Looks at the CO, then nods towards Jameson ::

Ivanova says:
@::Glances around in mild annoyance, she was expecting some action.. Not to baby-sit a bunch of ignorant Borgs too busy regenerating to even notice their closing death:: CSO: Pitiful, aren't they?

CNS_DeLindt says:
OPS: Any chance of extra power for the shield around the core?

OPS_Jameson says:
CO: Still have it.  Transport should be fine at the moment.  Shielding may be a problem.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Smiles at the CNS::  CNS:  I'll check

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
OPS: Acknowledged .... Commander Muir is there for that.

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Looks at the regenerating drones:: Ivanova: Yes! I cannot believe I used to be one of..........them.

CNS:  That’s about as much as I can give you I’m afraid.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Sovereign class Seleya loses some speed.

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Looks at the graph on his console:: OPS: Should be enough.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Status on Captain Bolitho please.

FCO_Aan says:
CO: Captain, were losing speed.

Ivanova says:
@::Smirks, she nods in understanding:: CSO: Still, being Borg did have it's advantages.. ::Moves behind him, she glances at the data flow in front of her in mild interest::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
FCO: Explain Ensign.

XO_Muir says:
CO: On the Galaxy Seleya, or on Captain Bolitho himself?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Laughs:: XO: The ship Commander.

OPS_Jameson says:
XO:  Is there anything you need me to do during the transport of the AT?

CO: Captain Bolitho is puling away.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Nods at the FCO::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
OPS: Comm Richard and find out what he is up to.

XO_Muir says:
CO: As far as I can tell, the Galaxy Class's system are as best to be expected, under these circumstances; but I should note that I didn't receive a reply to my hail, and now they appear to be pulling away.

OPS_Jameson says:
CNS: I'm grateful.  ::Retransfers the power back to propulsion::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO; understood time to see what he’s up to I think

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Not at the time being, Commander.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
OPS: Any answer to your Comm?

Ivanova says:
@CSO: You are far too paranoid, Hazzem. You of all people should know the obligation of an officer to his Captain, don't you? ::Tsks in annoyance as one of the Borgs pass near her, she glances back and watches the retreating form:: Anyway, do you need any help or something? I'm getting tired of avoiding those.. ::Chuckles at an inside joke:: Borgs.

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Captain the galaxy Seleya will be in the first cubes weapons range in 2 minutes

OPS_Jameson says:
::Attempts to COMM Dick::

Host Buzzard says:

OPS_Jameson says:
CO:  No response.

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: If we increase our speed or they slow down then yes we can.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
FCO: You heard the Lt. increase speed, evasive maneuvers.

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Turns around to Ivanova:: Ivanova: And you of all people should know the obligation of one to her life, right? ::Turns around to the console:: The code is accepted, take that console over there and start disabling all the power nodes connected to these drones, I don't want any surprises.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CTO: I have full faith you will hit that cube ... well it’s big enough at any rate ::Smiles ::

FCO_Aan says:

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye captain...I’ll try.

CSO_Hazzem says:

XO: Any word from Hazzem?

Ivanova says:
@::Nods, she walks towards the console in question and begins typing:: CSO: I find it odd that you're blaming me for something I did not do, any reason why?

XO_Muir says:
CO: He has not attempted to contact the Seleya, no.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The first Borg cube attempts to lock onto the GC Seleya which barrel rolls and fires a full spread of photon torpedoes that impact on strategic locations on the cube.

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Watches the shield power graph with eagle eyes::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Understood.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Taps fingers on her chair::

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Get a lock on the locations that the Other Seleya just fired at, and target them with a full spread of Quantum Torpedoes.

XO_Muir says:
CO: He'll hail us when the time is right, Captain.

CTO_Darklighter says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:

Ivanova says:
@CSO: But that will take ages! A Borg computer is made out of millions of data streams! Why not just go to the main control chamber and do it from them? We should have a close by passage near here that leads to the main control chamber..

CO:  We go back for him, we die!

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Moves to the OPS console, suddenly shaken, phaser still in hand::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::hears the CNS and shakes her head:: XO: Do you concur?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Pulls herself to a sitting position, phaser in her hand::

FCO_Aan says:
XO:  3 minutes!

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: The galaxy Seleya has made transport impossible captain and I only have one flash-torp left so choose: Him or Commander Hazzem and Ivanova.

XO_Muir says:
CO: As Executive Officer of the USS Seleya, I feel that under the circumstances, you are too personally influenced to be objective in this matter... I'm sorry, Tam.

XO_Muir says:
CO: I concur with Mr. DeLindt.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Closes her eyes:: CTO: get Hazz back

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Any chance you can push that up any further?

CNS_DeLindt says:
CO: I am sorry, but the safety of this crew is paramount.

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Target all of our fire on the Borg Cubes protecting the Hub.

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho> COMM: CO: Initiating Alpha two: The Seleya will explode in 3 minutes Tam get back to where you belong.... ::nods and the channel is closed::

OPS_Jameson says:
::A little dazed::  Self: What happened?

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye captain ::Saves the flash-torp for when they reach commander Hazzem::

FCO_Aan says:
XO:  I'll try.

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Do you have a lock on the Away Team?

CTO_Darklighter says:
XO: Aye sir, and let me now when you need the flash-torp.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Then I stand relieved.. you have command of the Seleya commander .... take us home.

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Any fleeting moment is of the essence.

FCO_Aan says:
OPS:I need everything you can give me to get us to the hub.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Opens fire at anything borg that fires at him::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Hides from a spark from one of the weapons:: Ivanova: Sam! you still there?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Leaves the bridge and enters the TL::

XO_Muir says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am... :: Looks sadly at the Captain, but believes he made the right decision, under the circumstances ::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks up from the floor at the FCO::  FCO: When I can get there...sure.

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Puts his sadness in a compartment for the meantime and focuses on getting them out of here and home::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Seleya is being pounded by Borg weapons fire....her shields are failing, 1 minute until she enters the hub

FCO_Aan says:
::Pushes the impulse engines as sat as they can possibly go::

OPS_Jameson says:
::gets herself to sit at OPS, and gives the FCO the power required::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::sparks fly from his console but he continues to fire at the borg::

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Current ETA?

Ivanova says:
@::Curses loudly, she shouts:: CSO: So far, still in one piece?

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Open a channel to Hazz, tell him to prepare for transport.

FCO_Aan says:
XO:  30 seconds!

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Opens the gate, and sighs in relief, waits for the right moment and runs over to Ivanova:: Ivanova: you ok?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Leaves the TL after telling it what deck and heads for her quarters with slight tears in her eyes::

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Once we beam over the Away Team, tell them to pay special attention to Ivanova, I do not trust that woman.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Opens the Comm channel::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@Comm: Seleya: Hazzem to Seleya

CTO_Darklighter says:
::loads the flash-torp:: XO: Sir I’m ready to fire the flash-torp

OPS_Jameson says:
::Is aching all over from the explosion, with a burn across one cheek::

FCO_Aan says:
XO: were threading the needle here sir!

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The SC Seleya's shields fail and fortunately for the Seleya her ablative amour protects her.

XO_Muir says:
:: Finishing his orders he moves towards the Command Area, pauses, then sighs, then takes the CO's Chair ::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Nods and informs the sec team::

XO_Muir says:
:: Sits back in it uncomfortably ::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Gets out a med-kit and treats Jameson quickly::

Ivanova says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Nothing that will kill me, all set to get out of here?

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Drop Shields and beam the Away Team NOW!

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: Shields down sir!  I suggest we move it out of here.

CTO_Darklighter says:
:Fires the flash-torp::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Smiles a little:: Ivanova: Yes!

OPS_Jameson says:
*CSO*: Prepare for transport

FCO_Aan says:
::Rolls the ship to spread enemy fire over the ablative armor::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@COMM: OPS: Ready for transport, two to beam up.

Ivanova says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Shuttle or transporters?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Drops shields and transports::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Borg has adapted to the flash torpedo and fires a volley of their own......

XO_Muir says:
OPS: SHIELDS, NOW!

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Sends out a load of anti-matter packed torps at the Borg::

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Evasive Action, get us the hell through that hub!

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Enters her quarters praying they get Hazz back and sits at her desk looking at a pic of Richard then sends a text message... to Bolitho.... "Never had a chance to say goodbye in my universe I will not give that chance up now ...." and sends it, wondering if he will get it::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Brings the shields back up as soon as the transport is completed::

FCO_Aan says:
::Makes a beeline for the hub, avoiding as much of the enemy fire as possible.::

XO_Muir says:
*CSO* Commander Muir to Commander Hazzem... Are you aboard?

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Hazzem and Ivanova are beamed onboard. The Torpedoes impact on the Seleya...practically slamming her into the opening of the transwarp hub.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Feels the impact and grabs his console::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Stands up:: *XO* Hazzem here, we're on!

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Feels the impact of the last blast but does nothing::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Is thrown off his chair by the impact of the torps::

XO_Muir says:
*CSO* Report to Sickbay for a complete check up!

FCO_Aan says:
::Grabs the sides of the helm to keep from being thrown off::

CSO_Hazzem says:
*XO* Aye, Commander, Hazzem out ::Helps Ivanova up::

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Gets up off the floor and gets back in his chair::

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Engage... we have to get through that hub!

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Inform the Captain that Hazzem is back onboard.

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Everything okay, ensign?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Groans as a forming bruise hits the back of the chair as she is thrown around the seat again::

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: Sir, we have Primary hull breaches on all decks, but force fields have been erected around them.  Plasma leaks, deuterium leaks.  Radiation level is increasing.  We're in bad shape, and will need a star base to fix all this damage.

Ivanova says:
::Slowly raises with the help of the CSO, she tries to catch up on her breath:: CSO: Can we do that again? ::Chuckles::

FCO_Aan says:
XO:  We’re in.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Spins in her chair ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Grins a little:: Ivanova: Somebody had fun?

FCO_Aan says:
XO: That cube is on us...

XO_Muir says:
CNS: A small price to pay, for getting home... if we succeed.

XO_Muir says:
:: Feels the full pressure of the Captain’s chair weighing down on his shoulders ::

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: That’s the first thing we've said all day that I can concur on without feeling guilty.

XO_Muir says:
:: Tries to chuckle ::

Ivanova says:
CSO: Oh, not yet.. ::Smirks, she grabs the CSO and crushes her lips at his lips. After a few moments she pulls back and sighs:: Now I did..

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Back in the alternate universe, a figure sitting in the helm seat watches as the SC Seleya enters the hub, before letting out a sigh and sitting back in his seat....and pressing a button just as drones materialize on the bridge.... “’bye T”  ::The specially prepared Seleya with multiple warp cores explodes destroying the Borg transwarp hub::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Stands up from OPS, carefully, and moves towards the XO, gesturing to the XO chair::  XO: You want me to take this while we wait for Hazz....help you with the command...?

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Sure thing, Commander.

XO_Muir says:
:: Lets out an audible sigh, then tries to stop himself ::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The cube opens fire, however due to the FCO's evasive maneuvers the Borg miss.

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Keeps his eyes closed after the kiss, and smiles:: Ivanova: So did I! ::Looks at her::

FCO_Aan says:
All:  Ahh, we still have a very friendly borg behind us!

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Give that bastard everything we've got left!

OPS_Jameson says:
::Sits in the rather more comfortable XO seat, and slaves OPS to the arm panel::

CTO_Darklighter says:
XO: You got it sir ::fires everything at him and gets the kitchen sink ready for the second volley::

Ivanova says:
::Raises an eyebrow in amusement:: CSO: Sickbay.. then more. ::Takes his hand, she pulls him with her towards the sickbay::

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: Volley after volley of torpedoes and phaser fire smash into the cube but its just keep on coming.

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Glances over at Jameson, smiling encouragingly::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Walks to her cupboard and grabs a bottle of rommie ale and cracks it open::

FCO_Aan says:
::Evades as much as possible, considering the cramped quarters::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks over at the XO for a moment::  XO: I know it's not politic, but remember that I'm Betazoid.  Trying to hide visible anxiety won't work with me....

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Walks with Ivanova:: Ivanova: Bridge first! then sickbay, then more ::gets in the turbolift::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Keeps firing at the cube::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Smiles wanly, but friendly, at the CNS::

CSO_Hazzem says:
TL: Bridge

XO_Muir says:
OPS: It's not as if I really have a choice, Anya. :: Remains looking at the view screen ::

CNS_DeLindt says:
OPS: I know the feeling....  lets just get home, OK?

Ivanova says:
::Sighs:: CSO: Work, work and work. ::Shrugs, she walks with him and stands beside him.. closely::

XO_Muir says:
*CSO* Get up here, Commander!

OPS_Jameson says:
XO: What you did was the right thing.  I'm her best friend, but it was the right thing.

FCO_Aan says:
ALL:  Well, I'm open to suggestions!

OPS_Jameson says:
CNS: Home....isn't that where the heart is?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Stands close to her, and exits to the bridge:: XO: Commander Abdel-Hamid, reporting.

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: We could dump a shuttlecraft, set for warp-core breach.

OPS_Jameson says:
Self: And I get the feeling Tam's is now here....

XO_Muir says:
CSO: Do your thing, Commander, before it's too late.

XO_Muir says:
OPS: That's enough Commander, let's focus on getting home.

FCO_Aan says:
CNS:  Load it full of anti-matter maybe.

XO_Muir says:
:: Regrets snapping at Anya, immediately after he's finished ::

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: That would be excellent.

FCO_Aan says:
XO:  what do you say sir?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Nods, and walks over to his console:: XO: I'm venting plasma, it should react with the structure of the borg, and slow them down, maybe even destroy it.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The cube moves into optimal firing range.

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: Sir, the cube is now within optimal firing range.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Pours a nice big glass of rommie ale sits down spinning on her chair and starts drinking her thoughts miles away::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Reads the XO, and just smiles sweetly at him, in a joking way::

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Divert power to the ventral shields.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Continues to fire at the cube::

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Whatever we have left, focus on their weapons systems.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Diverts the power::

CTO_Darklighter says:
XO: Aye sir ::Switches targets and locks the weapons systems::

XO_Muir says:
CSO: Do you have any clue how long this will take? We need to get out of here now!

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Finds the right coordinates, and opens an exit gate for the Seleya:: FCO: Take us there now

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The plasma venting slows the Borg down for a few nanoseconds before they move into range again and fire.

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Engage.

FCO_Aan says:
Xo: Yes sir!

FCO_Aan says:
::Heads through the gate::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Fires at the plasma in a hope to ignite it::

XO_Muir says:
*All Hands*  We are about to travel through dimensions... prepare, for... well... anything. Bridge out.

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Braces for....  something::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Turns around, and watches the screen, moving Ivanova closer to him::

XO_Muir says:
:: Holds on to the armrests of Tam's chair ::

OPS_Jameson says:
Self: I'm getting bruises on top of bruises....::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Hears Muir and continues to drink::

Ivanova says:
::Walks towards the console beside the CTO, she studies the console for a few seconds before nodding shortly and switching the display to the Borg cube tactical analysis: CTO: I've uploaded our studies regarding this type of Borg cube, try targeting the areas marked in red.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Seleya's weapons impact on the cube, but appear to do no damage....the cube weapons however smash into the Seleya nearly upending her as she moves through the gate created by Hazzem.

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Do it!

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Watches his console change:: XO: Understood ::opens fire::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Feels the impact and wonders what is going on up on the bridge but refrains from doing anything::

FCO_Aan says:
XO: We’re through!

XO_Muir says:
CSO: Confirm? Are we back in our own dimension?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Locates all Federation outposts marked before they left:: XO: Confirmed, we are back!

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Seleya exits the gate moving out and back into normal space, behind them moves the ominous Cube firing as she exits. The Seleya swivels to face the cube and fires a volley of Quantum torpedoes. 

XO_Muir says:
:: Lets out an audible sigh as they exit the anomaly, and it's just clear space ahead ::

XO_Muir says:
CSO: What's our current spatial position?

CSO_Hazzem says:
::Scans and calculates::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Breathes deeply::

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Locate the nearest Star base and inform them we'll be coming in for repairs.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Locks onto the systems marked in red and lets rip on them::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Leans back in her chair still spinning ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
XO: Same location we were at before we left.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The torpedo's targeted as per Ivanova's instructions impact on the cube, a split second later the cube explodes smashing the Seleya with debris.

CSO_Hazzem says:
XO: The borg cube is destroyed, Captain

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Is thrown from his chair again::

XO_Muir says:
*All Hands*  Well done on an excellently executed plan all. Begin preparing extensive damage reports for our repair. Muir out.

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Gets back in his chair::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Hears the hull stress as it's showered in the debris::

CSO_Hazzem says:
XO: Commander, where is the Captain?

XO_Muir says:
:: Looks at Hazz, and cringes as he herds the 'Captain' at the end  of that.

XO_Muir says:
CSO: That's a long story, Commander.

FCO_Aan says:
::Avoids the debris as much as possible::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Hears Commander Muir and smiles hoping all her crew came back with them alive then takes a deep breath::

CSO_Hazzem says:
::His eyebrows narrow:: XO: What do you mean?

CNS_DeLindt says:
CSO: A very long story, she's in her quarters.

XO_Muir says:
:: Rubs his eyes, and then his forehead and nose as he gets up out of the CO's chair ::

FCO_Aan says:
::Sets a course for the nearest Star base::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Takes his hands up and looks at the burns on them::

XO_Muir says:
CSO: Commander Hazzem, you have the Bridge.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Starts to get out of the XO chair::

XO_Muir says:
Bridge: Anyone who needs medical attention is to report to Sickbay once our situation is stable.

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: We have extensive casualties, the medical teams are converting Cargobay 1 into a triage facility.  The Structural Integrity Field is barely holding, we have no warp power, and no impulse engines.

CSO_Hazzem says:
XO: Aye! ::Stands in the middle of the bridge and looks at the XO::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Stays at his station::

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Get me a more accurate ETA as soon as is possible.

OPS_Jameson says:
::Is looking forward for once to reporting to sickbay::

FCO_Aan says:
XO:  Yes sir.

XO_Muir says:
::Gets out of the Command Area and heads for the Ready Room ::

Ivanova says:
::Nods at the CTO's direction, she smirks and makes her way towards the CSO:: CSO: Am I to assume I'm no longer at home? ::Glances curiously at the view screen::

XO_Muir says:
OPS: Get me Admiral Herrick on priority frequency, and route it too the ready room.

CSO_Hazzem says:
Ivanova: Far from it!

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Bows his head in thanks to Ivanova and brings is attention back to the view screen::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Leans forward preparing a report on the reason for being relieved of command ready for the nearest Admiral::

XO_Muir says:
:: Steps through the threshold, and speaks over his shoulder :: ALL: It would seem I have some explaining to do.... a lot of explaining....

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Looks forward to rest, but not the inquiry that is surely coming. ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
Ivanova: But if you had a chance......::looks at Ivanova:: Would you really want to go back?

OPS_Jameson says:
::Attempts to get Adm Herrick on the priority channel, and routes it to the RR::

XO_Muir says:
:: Waits until the doors close, and then collapses in the office chair, feeling elated, yet guilty and treasonous all at the same time ::

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Notes the amount of torpedoes he fired in the skirmish and begins to cool down the phaser banks::

Host Buzzard says:
***End the Journey***....finally.....
