Last time on Seleya:

The crew attempted a covert mission to infiltrate Tankard's base.  Unfortunately Tankard was nearby in the cloaked Captain's Yacht.

As commander Maor made his departure from the Seleya Tankard decloaked along with one other fighter and opened fired on the departing shuttle.  Another vessel quickly joined in the fight as well.

Maor had to retreat under the barrage.  The Seleya destroyed one of the fighters but the other fighter and the yacht retreated to the base.  The Seleya was forced to pull back to regroup and await the arrival of the USS Kratos.

The Seleya is at the rendezvous point awaiting the Kratos which is due any minute.

Captain's Log: 11410.05: Our covert insertion into Tankard's operation failed. We've been tasked with getting rid of him. I don't think there is a humane way.

CO Capt Varesh says:
::Sits scowling at the PADD he's reading::
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::At his station on the bridge, watching the sensor data coming in on the base.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::At his bridge station, looking for communications signals in the area::
Kratos CO Zenif says:
#::Opens a channel with the Seleya.::  COMM: Seleya: Kratos to Seleya.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks over his shoulder at Heller:: CTO: Commander, could we take the base if we worked with the Kratos on an assault? Covert ideas didn't work, it's time for direct action.

OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Turns to Varesh:: CO: Incoming hail from the Kratos, captain.
CO Capt Varesh says:
OPS: On screen.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Looks up at the captain but waits to answer as the hail comes in.::
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
CO: On Screen, aye... ::Taps the command to put the call on main viewer::
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Kratos: Well met, Captain.

ACTION:  An image of the Kratos bridge appears.  A Klingon/Human sitting in the captain’s chair.

Kratos CO Zenif says:
#COMM: Seleya: CO: Well met captain.  We are ten minutes out and ready for a fight.  ::Grins.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Kratos: Good to hear, Captain. I've just asked my CTO about taking the base head on. Covert options aren't working.
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Your assessment, Commander?
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: Your opinion as well, Commander.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods and looks between the two captains.::  COs:  With your multi vector mode you should be able to keep the majority of the fighters occupied.  However the base if heavily fortified and may take a large amount of firepower to break through its defenses.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks at the XO::
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO, CTO: I'd suggest we let the Kratos handle the ships while we'll handle the station.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: XO: Pretty much what I was thinking.
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Kratos: Your thoughts, Captain?
Kratos CO Zenif says:
#CO:  From what I've seen on our sensors they have 9 fighters out near the station with more likely cloaked and still docked from what we've seen on our sensors and the data sent from your CTO.  We should be able to keep them off you back though.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Nods:: All: Are we in shape to take them on? I want this over and done with.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: We should probably flood this entire area with enough tachyons between our two ships to level the playing field a bit.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Smiles:: XO: Excellent thinking.
CO Capt Varesh says:
CTO: Co-ordinate with the Kratos on that part of the assault.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  We may also want to have a team prepared to beam aboard the station if we can't completely destroy the station from here.  A team beamed in during the confusion of the battle might be able to get in and destroy the power core of the station.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: You want to lead that part of the operations? I know how you like to blow up things.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: I do? ::Nods at the direction of the CO:: First the covert mission and now leading an away team to the heart of the enemy, are you sure you're not just trying to get rid of me?

CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO/XO:  I would like to be part of that team as well captain.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Grins:: XO: Not at all. ::Looks over at Heller.::  CTO: Your second can handle the tactical duties on board if you want to go down?
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
CO:  Yes captain, I trust him fully to handle the ship.
Kratos CO Zenif says:
#CO:  I might have something that will help with that captain.  ::Taps a few command on his console to transmit some data.::  We have a prototype runabout aboard, while it doesn't have a true cloaking device, it has been specially designed to conceal most of the normal power emissions.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::nods:: CTO: I will allow it. ::turns back to Maor:: XO: Your call if you want to lead the away team.
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Kratos: Very nice, Captain. We will use that to calculate our plans.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Nods grimly to the captain, then turns his attention to his console looking over the data the Kratos sent over.::

ACTION:  The Kratos drops out of warp off the port side of the Seleya.

Kratos CO Zenif says:
#CO:  I can begin the preparations to transfer the Mink to the Seleya, should complete transfer in 20 minutes.
CO Capt Varesh says:
::Looks around the bridge, including the Kratos's Captain on the viewscreen:: ALL: We have a big battle coming, and I want to be sure we are all in best form. We will remain here to complete planning and have some rest. Plan departure at the start of Alpha shift.
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Kratos: Thank you Captain, it will give us some time to get familiar with it.
Kratos CO Zenif says:
#COM: Seleya: CO:  Understood captain, I will have my CTO work with yours as well to work out the plan for our assault.
CO Capt Varesh says:
COM: Kratos: Thank you, Captain. Seleya out.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: You've been quiet.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Just waiting for his next surprise.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Turns to Pandora.::  OPS:  Can we do something to block their communications as we begin the attack?  If they can't speak to each other it will reduce their effectiveness in battle as well as keep them from bringing in more reinforcements.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: You know I want you to lead the away team to make sure we take out that base, right?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Understood.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Nods:: CTO: We can try to jam their communications, yes.. Send out our own interfering signals on frequencies that they are broadcasting now...
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: Any other thoughts on our proposed plan?
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Something tells me we might be better off actually blowing the station from afar. He's been one step ahead of us this entire time, I'd hate to see what he'd do if we corner him to the wall.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
OPS:  Good any advantage we can get will help.
OPS LtCmdr Pandora says:
::Gets to work to set up a basic algorithm to make the jamming more effective::
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: I'm with you on that, but we have to have a contingency plan in place if needs be. I want to blow that base out of existence without having to set foot on it, but what I want and what I get are sometimes galaxies apart.
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: I'm starting to think we should hit his other base of operations first, but we don't have any information on it.
XO Cmdr Maor says:
CO: Seems to happen a lot to us lately.
CTO Cmdr Heller says:
::Begins working on an attack plan both using the runabout and the overall battle.::
CO Capt Varesh says:
XO: And I'm getting quite tired of it. Let's deal with what we know and take on the unknown after.
