Mission Summary : The Artemis is one hour out of the Kanibdis system, where a Romulan ship awaits for help..
The Romulan ship is damaged, and needs to be helped out with the Metallic cloud

Host Sergio says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Artemis 10001.21>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_MacMer says:
::On bridge, at Science Station, double checking w/Lt. Jg. Donovan that everything in the lab is ready...::

CO_Bryant says:
:::sits in the center chair and monitors their approach to the Kanibdis system on his console:::

CNS_Sodak says:
::Exits TL and arrives on bridge::

EO_Thompson says:
::drinks coffee in his room::

SO_Donovan says:
::Down in the lab with Tech Johnson::

FCO_Joe says:
::at the helm::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::arriving on the Bridge after getting some nice and well deserved sleep::

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: anything on long range sensors yet Jason?

EO_Thompson says:
::walking to the engineering::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Centurion, what is the status of the hull?

CTO_Gore says:
::Arrives on the bridge looks around::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::walks over to his station after greeting by a few nods the bridge crew::

SO_Donovan says:
Tech:Lets get all the info we can gather on Verteron particles

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Hull integrity down to 90% sir.

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Let me give them another look.  ::Looking over at the console’s sensor's display..::

CNS_Sodak says:
::Begins to tense up::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Continue automatic distress signals, at irregular intervals

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Yes sir ::continues automatic distress signal, set at regular intervals::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: We are getting a distress call on sensors...but it's garbled.

CTO_Gore says:
::Walks up beside the CSO::  CSO: Mr. MacMer, could I ask you a couple questions about this cloud?

FCO_Joe says:
::brushes up the cloud that trapped them last time::

CO_Bryant says:
Ops: Any indication of the cause of the distortion?

CSO_MacMer says:
CTO: One moment, as I finish this sensor sweep.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::tries to increase communication throughput::

CTO_Gore says:
::Nods, peeking at the sweep from behind::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Sits at one of the operational consoles and monitors the situation..........systems failing shipwide::

CSO_MacMer says:
CO:... Sir, Sensor sweep shows the anomaly, but nothing else out of the ordinary as yet.  I'm forwarding the anomaly coordinates to Tac and Flight.  ::Punching relevant buttons to do so::

Cent_Korvan says:
@::watches as the hull integrity slowly drops::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: I think it's the cloud.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Try to divert some power from subsystems for life-support::

CSO_MacMer says:
:Turning to the CTO:: CTO: Yes, what can I do for you?

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: Have you finished preparing the rust torpedoes?

Cent_Korvan says:
@::diverts power from non essential systems to life support::

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, there should be 4 ready and waiting, though only 1 is loaded.

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: Sir, the Romulans are very concerned about the cloud.....I can sense that much

CO_Bryant says:
EO: Mr Thompson to the bridge please?

CTO_Gore says:
CSO: Well last time the Artemis was here, did you discover any weaknesses in this cloud?  Anything we could defend ourselves against it with?

CTO_Gore says:
CO/CSO: What "rust" torpedoes...

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: It's not a distortion ...I believe more like .....wait...::checks again::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent: Have all personnel leave the lower decks and move to the upper decks, shutdown systems on decks 8 & 9

CSO_MacMer says:
CTO: Last time the anomaly was temporarily deactivated by iron oxide particles.

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: I have rerouted power from non-essential systems to life support, hull integrity down to 85%.

EO_Thompson says:
::walks to the bridge::

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The automated signal is coming from a small buoy outside the cloud...

CSO_MacMer says:
CTO:  We have set up some "torps" to explode sending out a cloud of these particles.

Cent_Korvan says:
@*Decks 8&9*: All personnel evacuate Decks 8 & 9 immediately.

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : And the warning Buoys left here the last time by the Artemis are still functioning as they should

XO_Senn says:
::exits the turbolift and enters the bridge, nods to the Captain and turns to MacMer about to ask for a report... decides to check it from her console and make it quick::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Boost integrity fields, start putting a load on the main power grid.........it will not matter much if we can’t breathe

EO_Thompson says:
::is at the bridge::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: However we are receiving the automated signal from the buoys.

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: Hail them Ensign.

CTO_Gore says:
CSO: I see...is there anyway to modify a beam weapon to emit these particles, or perhaps some type of shielding for the Artemis?

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Yes sir: hands streak across the console::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: Hail who?

CSO_MacMer says:
CTO: Not that we could find that affected it.  No, if you could give me a moment, I want to do a detailed scan of the anomaly.  ::Checking the scans again...::

CO_Bryant says:
:::smiles:::: OPS: Elvis....

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: I believe that's an Earth legend... Sir...

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Puts the sensors on short scan attempting to further analyze this cloud surrounding his ship::

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: It wouldn't make much sense to hail the starbase would it?  See if you can get a hold of the Romulans.

XO_Senn says:
::decides she has seen enough and turns to Hewitt:: OPS: What's our chance of sending out the rust and direct it to the Romulan ship using our tractor beam?

Cent_Korvan says:
@::monitors main power grid::

CTO_Gore says:
::Relieves the TO and takes over tactical::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: Like I said before...the Romulans hail is garbled...we need to get closer...

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Shall I increase speed?

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : As the Artemis closes the cloud, it seems to "move"

CO_Bryant says:
FCO: Maintain course and speed

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Centurion, boost the shields, the cloud is beginning to penetrate the hull

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: Keep Trying Ensign.

CNS_Sodak says:
::To self:: uh-oh

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: Repeating on a regular basis..Sir.

Cent_Korvan says:
@::boosts shields with what is left power wise::

XO_Senn says:
OPS: Do I get an answer?

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Sensors start getting some data.. It appears the Romulan ship is inside the cloud, surrounded

CSO_MacMer says:
OPS: Patch some of the Romulan signal to me, and I'll try to triangulate on their position.

CO_Bryant says:
CNS: You getting anything from the cloud Sodak?

XO_Senn says:
::decides she needs to repeat the question, and hopefully get an answer this time:: OPS/CSO: What's our chance of sending out the rust and direct it to the Romulan ship using our tractor beam?

FCO_Joe says:
::maintains speed::

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: Not yet, I get A LOT of scared Romulans though

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Com:Bouy:  This is the Romulan Ship, Tolar, issuing a distress call, our ship is surrounded by a metallic cloud, systems failing, communications short-range, using a comm buoy for relay

CEO_Alarra says:
::walks into engineering::

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Artemis picks up comm : "This is... ..Distress.. Cloud... short-range.. relay.."

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CSO: Nothing Mr. MacMer. ::sighs::

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Sir hull integrity down to 75%

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CSO: Wait....here it is...

CO_Bryant says:
EO: Mr Thompson, I want three damage control parties formed and standing by in the transporter rooms, all of the armed and with at least every other man a security officer.

EO_Thompson says:
CO:Aye sir

CO_Bryant says:
XO: Ideas Nayla?

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Understood, configure a beam directly to the buoy off the port bow, perhaps that will increase out comm gain

CEO_Alarra says:
::walks over to Ensign Walker:: Walker: Report.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO/CSO: I'm getting something...but it's very much garbled...

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: Number 2?

CSO_MacMer says:
::Nodding thanks to OPS::

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir?

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: How are we going to the warbird out of the cloud?

XO_Senn says:
CO: I'm trying to get an answer from OPS, but I thought that our tractor beam could take rust to the Romulan ship, sir... ::glares at OPS who has twice ignored her question::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: Long range COMM. is disable due to the effects of the cloud.

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : The cloud starts moving towards the Artemis... Fast... Leaving the Romulan ship badly damaged...

CEO_Alarra says:
<Walker>CEO: We have three damage control parties forming and standing by in the transporter rooms. Ens Thompson is on the bridge.

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: We have the rust, we could create a corridor to their ship using the rust, but we may want to warn them so they know we are not shooting at them...

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Yes sir, configuring a beam now ::configues a beam to boost comm strength, directly to the buoy off the port bow::

EO_Thompson says:
*Eng Personnel*: Damage control parties to 1,2,3 to transporter rooms armed and every other man with a security officer

CSO_MacMer says:
::Seeing cloud movement:: CO: On second thoughts we should put the torps right in the things path right now!

XO_Senn says:
CSO: Do you have the rust ready? I think we're going to need it.

CSO_MacMer says:
XO: four torps ready, only one loaded.

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Captain, the cloud is moving towards us, fast.

XO_Senn says:
CTO: Status of the Romulan ship? Is the cloud still with them?

CEO_Alarra says:
::walks out of engineering to the nearest turbolift::

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: Try and get them a message, tell them to just sit tight and don't dare shoot back, we aren't shooting at them.

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Communications are improved, as the cloud moves off the Romulan Ship

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Power grid is holding, I have a beam directed at the buoy.

CTO_Gore says:
XO: The Romulan ship is heavily damaged sir, hull weakened.

CEO_Alarra says:
TL: Bridge

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: Red alert.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
XO: I believe the tractor beam will not work unless we are closer...that means positioning us within the cloud's perimeter.

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: We could circle the Romulans so the cloud chases behind us and the shots won't be in a line with them.

XO_Senn says:
FCO: Any way to circle the cloud and get to the Romulans?

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
*ALL DECKS*: Red alert...Battle stations!

CEO_Alarra says:
::walks out onto the bridge towards the engineering station::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Attempts again:: COM: Buoy:  Repeating, this is the Romulan Ship Tolar, I am picking up faint sensor ghosts, is there anyone outside the cloud?

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: Good Idea, Teasley, make it so.

FCO_Joe says:
XO: I'll try

Cent_Korvan says:
@::gets notification that Decks 8 & 9 are clear, shuts down power to both of those decks::

Host LtJashir says:
::from engineering, takes a good look at the officers around, before he checks the sensor data from the Romulan Ship::

CEO_Alarra says:
EO: You are relieved. Please return to engineering and be prepared to dispatch damage control teams.

EO_Thompson says:
*CEO* I will go to engineering and you take to the bridge ::walks to engineering::

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: Load all tubes and prepare to fire in to the cloud.

FCO_Joe says:
CO: We're in position

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : Roimulan's ship status stabilizing..

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: what's the cloud doing?

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : Cloud closes to 10000kms of the Artemis

CTO_Gore says:
CO: I've got a volley of 3 rust torpedoes standing by

EO_Thompson says:
::in engineering::

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Still closing on us, Sir

CNS_Sodak says:
CO: It's possible that we interrupted one of the cloud's natural processes, but it's too soon to say

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO/XO: I think I can get a channel opened to the Romulan vessel

CO_Bryant says:
FCO: keep us out of the cloud, but don't out run it, let it chase us.

XO_Senn says:
OPS: Then waste no time and hail them, Hewitt

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Integrity fields are stabilizing, power increase at 4%.

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, Last time we had trouble staying away from it.  It was able to make sudden dashes, kinda like an alligator....

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
COM: Romulans: This is Ensign Tom Hewitt of the federation ship Artemis...please respond...

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Excellent Centurion, you are promoted, two steps in rank

Host LtJashir says:
::starts preparing.. The charges he placed secure from any suspicious eyes::

CEO_Alarra says:
CEO: Checks power systems.

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Thank you sir ::conceals his feelings of joy::

XO_Senn says:
::nods at OPS and then gives a worried look to MacMer::

Host LtJashir says:
::closes the CEO:: CEO : Ma'am.. All systems in prime condition.. We're ready for anything.. Torpedo changes have been made to 4 more torpedoes, just in case..

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Com: Artemis:  This is Commander Tolurth, of the Tolar, we are in desperate need of assistance

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Understood

Cent_Korvan says:
@::monitors systems::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO/XO: I have them.. only on audio...no visuals.

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: on speaker

FCO_Joe says:
::lets the cloud chase the ship::

XO_Senn says:
OPS: Good!

CSO_MacMer says:
::Continuing to monitor anomaly, passing data down to the Science lab::

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Captain, the Romulan ship appears to be a science vessel

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: On speakers..Sir.

CEO_Alarra says:
Jashir: Sounds good, make sure things stay that way.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Looks over at the centurion, and grins::

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : Cloud engulfs the Artemis, again..

Cent_Korvan says:
@::sees the Cmdr grinning::Sir?

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : Comms go down, again..

CO_Bryant says:
COM*Tolar* Can you get under way?

EO_Thompson says:
*Eng Personnel* Damage control teams on standby

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Captain, the cloud has surrounded us

XO_Senn says:
CSO: The time is now then!

Host LtJashir says:
CEO : Aye ma'am..

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: We lost COMM signal..I think the cloud has caught up with us...

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Sorry sir

Host LtJashir says:
::nods and goes to his panel.. waiting::

CSO_MacMer says:
::Nodding at XO, then looking to CO::

XO_Senn says:
OPS: Damage report to the Artemis. Check if the problem is ours or theirs

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Centurion, do we have any thrusters?

XO_Senn says:
CSO: That was an order, MacMer...

Cent_Korvan says:
@::checks thruster systems::

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: Charge the shields so that they are magnetic and flood the space around the ship with the rust.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
XO: No damages yet...but we are in .....

Host LtJashir says:
<Computer> Warning.. Hull Integrity down by 1 %

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr:Yes sir, but that is all we have.

CSO_MacMer says:
XO: Aye, but what did you just order me to do?

EO_Thompson says:
*CEO*: do we need damage control teams?

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Shields are magnetic sir...where should I get the rust from?

XO_Senn says:
CSO: If you're playing difficult, we're in for a rough time, MacMer. Get the rust out with the CTO and make sure it stays around us...

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Good, see if the cloud will head away, and allow us to get closer to that ship, the Artemis

CEO_Alarra says:
COM:EO: Yes, dispatch them to keep the hull integrity above 98%.

CSO_MacMer says:
XO: Very good, in this case I would recommend keeping the shields up and exhausting the rust, like last time.

CSO_MacMer says:
CTO: Did you catch that?

Cent_Korvan says:
@::activates maneuvering thrusters:: Cmdr, the cloud has enveloped the Federation ship.

Host LtJashir says:
CEO : Ma'am... cargo bay 2 is full of rust.. As per Captain's orders..

XO_Senn says:
CSO, CTO: Go for it.

CTO_Gore says:
::Has a several chunks of rust replicated, beams the rust out around the ship inside the cloud::

CSO_MacMer says:
CTO: The shields held the particles close to the Artemis...

EO_Thompson says:
*Eng Personnel* damage control teams keep the hull integrity above 98%

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::monitors the situation of the Federation Ship:: Cent:  yes, sensors are clearing now

CTO_Gore says:
CSO: Alright, adjusting shields to hold the rust in tight proximity.

CO_Bryant says:
XO: Have the CEO start making more rust

CSO_MacMer says:
::Nodding to CTO, as I start to exhaust rust particles from hold...::

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Shall I still close on the Artemis sir?

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@COM: Artemis:  What is you situation?

FCO_Joe says:
::plots escape course::

CTO_Gore says:
CO: We have created a rust field around the ship, captain.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  To the edge of the cloud, as long as our systems are coming back, we should see what happens

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Escape course plotted sir

CO_Bryant says:
COM: Tolar: Make best speed out of the system we can take care of ourselves

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : The cloud seems to loose interest in the Artemis, and heads for the Romulan ship..

CTO_Gore says:
::Starts scanning the "cloud" hoping to detect signs of it dying::

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : No Comms went through.. Since the Artemis was still in the cloud

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, has anyone told the Romulans how to defend themselves from the cloud?

XO_Senn says:
CEO: Replicate more rust... and keep doing it.

Cent_Korvan says:
@::punches up manual control on thrusters and heads for the edge of the cloud::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Com: Artemis:  Artemis, the cloud is returning to us.

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Captain, the cloud has moved off, now going back over the Romulan ship.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: No COMMs are going in or out at the moment.

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: Shoot it Nathan, fire the torpedoes

FCO_Joe says:
::sets course for the Romulan ship::

CEO_Alarra says:
XO: Yes Ma'am

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : As the cloud leaves the Artemis, comms are possible again..

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: detonate them all around the Romulan ship

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Leans over to the Centurion and whispers instructions to him::

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Aye sir, firing a volley of three "rust" torpedoes at the cloud... 

CEO_Alarra says:
*EO*: Get a team to the Cargo bay to replicate some more rust.

CO_Bryant says:
COM: Tolar: You better get out of the system, NOW.

XO_Senn says:
::hears the CSO and decides to answer him:: CSO: We didn't have the chance to give the recipe to them, I'm afraid. But maybe we could find a way to send a buoy with a message out of the cloud. What's your opinion?

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: This getting to be strange...Communications are back online...with the Romulans

CNS_Sodak says:
::To self out loud:: confusion

Cent_Korvan says:
@::checks position making minor adjustments::

CTO_Gore says:
::fires three rust torps, detonating them inside the cloud, while safely away from the Romulan ship::

CTO_Gore  (QUANTUM3.WAV)

Host LtJashir says:
::as the Artemis comms the Romulan ship, he piggybacks his own signal stating readiness::

EO_Thompson says:
*Eng Personnel* Damage control team to cargo bay replicate some more rust

CSO_MacMer says:
XO: Aye mam, doing so now...

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : The cloud disperses, stopping, as it returns to its more concentrated state..

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO/XO: Getting a loop of our communications...

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Bring power to full, no matter what happens

Cent_Korvan says:
@::starts powering up the core:: Cmdr: I bringing the core back output back up.

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: Jason are they leaving?

CSO_MacMer says:
::Making up a message identifying the rust weakness of the anomaly:: OPS: If we have any comm with the Romulans, pass this to them.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Setting an escape course::

CTO_Gore says:
::Scans the cloud::  CO: I think we've stopped it sir...it's dispersed...but still there...

Cent_Korvan says:
@::sets full power, waiting for systems to overload:: Full power now sir.

XO_Senn says:
::nods mostly to herself as things calm down... even if for a few moments::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@:: Initiates a tractor beam on a piece of the cloud::

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Checking, sir.  ::Glances over to the sensor data, while programming a probe to be a comm relay...::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO/XO: What are the Romulans doing here?...Didn't they get the buoys signals and warnings?

CEO_Alarra says:
LtJashir: Please go to the cargo bay and check up on the team replicating the rust.

CTO_Gore says:
CO: The Romulans have tractored a piece of the cloud, it appears to be partially solid...

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  ready full power

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: Hewitt, I need you to answer questions not ask them, right now I want them out of danger, that's our mission, then we can figure out what happened.

XO_Senn says:
OPS: We know the buoys were working, therefore... ::narrows her eyes at the viewscreen:: All: What are they doing?

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Power grid holding, full power ready.

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : As the cloud concentrates itself, it starts moving towards the Romulan ship.. Again..

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: Sir...anything else I can do? ::frowns at his derogative comments::

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : Slower, this time

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@:: Begins releasing corrosive materials in Tolar's Main Cargo Bay after jettisoning all contents::

XO_Senn says:
CO: I think it is time we reconsider what the Romulans are doing in this system.

CTO_Gore says:
ALL: Maybe they want to "analyze" this clouds corrosive abilities...Captain a particle beam may disperse their tractor beam..

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: Tell me what the Romulans are doing!

Host LtJashir says:
CEO : Aye sir..

CSO_MacMer says:
::Relay ready:: CO: Sir, comm relay probe ready, permission to launch?

Host LtJashir says:
::goes to cargo bay.. this might be a good opportunity::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Releasing rust particles as the Federation ship did::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: They seem to be stuck again!!

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Cloud is heading towards us sir.

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: Hold on Jason.....

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  ETA of enclosure

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, concerning the Romulans, I'm getting no change on their position.

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: ETA 3 minutes sir.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
COM: Romulans: This is the Artemis...Report us your status...

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : The cloud seems to loose interest on both the ships, stopping..

CEO_Alarra says:
*EO*: Update on the rust?

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@COM: Artemis:  We are releasing rust particles as well........standby Artemis

CTO_Gore says:
CO: The cloud has come to a complete stop captain.

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: The cloud has stopped sir ::looks up confused::

XO_Senn says:
::overhears the exchange between Hewitt and the Romulan Cmdr, trying to figure out what made them enter the system::

CO_Bryant says:
COM *Tolar* Why are you still in the system, I take it by your lack of speed exiting the system that you no longer need assistance?

EO_Thompson says:
COM:CEO: we have dust ready at your command

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
COM: Romulans: Very well.....standing by...and captain Bryant would like to speak with you...

CTO_Gore says:
::Scans the Romulan ship not sure what he's looking for::

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: Change the torpedo loadout to standard Quantums and charge the phaser banks

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@COM: Artemis:  I have no time to talk,

CSO_MacMer says:
::Doing a passive scan of the Romulan ship so as to not "provoke" them::

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Aye sir. ::Quickly has the torpedo bay unload rust torps, and replace with Quantum torps::

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: They are being very stubborn.. no surprise here...::laughs::

FCO_Joe says:
::puts the ship into position::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Com: Artemis: Our power core is generating a singularity, we are attempting to stop it......we have no light speed, only thrusters

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: How damaged is their ship?

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Checking now sir.

XO_Senn says:
CO: Remember that the Romulans will scan our status and know we're charging weapons.

CTO_Gore says:
::charges up the phaser banks::

CTO_Gore  (POWERUP.WAV)

CO_Bryant says:
:::grins:::: XO: I hope so, I'm not trying to be subtle, something's not right here.

CTO_Gore says:
::shrugs:: XO: Too late...

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, the cloud seems to be blocking our scans, perhaps if we circled around to get a more direct bearing on the Romulan ship.

Cent_Korvan says:
@::passively scans the Artemis, whispers:: Cmdr: Sir they are powering weapons.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Com: Artemis:  My sensors show you are powering weapons..........What are your intentions.........we are disabled!!!!

XO_Senn says:
CO: Don't be surprised when they charge their weapons, sir ::grins::

CO_Bryant says:
FCO: Set course 247 mark 132 one quarter impulse power.

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : CSO's scans do reveal signs of a small singularity on the Romulan ship's position

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: You think that ship has brought us here...maybe they are faking a problem?

CEO_Alarra says:
::notices a blinking light at the edge of her screen::

FCO_Joe says:
CO: Aye sir, speed 1/4 impulse

CTO_Gore says:
::Wonders how a crippled ship finds power for a tractor beam::

CEO_Alarra says:
*EO*: What is the status of the EPS relays on deck 5?

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: that's what I'm starting to think Mr. Hewitt, channel a subspace scan through their buoy by brute force if you have to, tell me how badly they are hurt.

CEO_Alarra says:
*EO*: I'm not registering any EPS relays on that deck.

CNS_Sodak says:
CTO: ::whispers:: It seems I'm not the only one that's suspicious of the Romulans

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, we're getting the scan now.  They do seem beat up, other than that there is an odd, small, singularity showing up.  I'm passing the data to you now..

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: Aye aye Captain.

FCO_Joe says:
CO: We're in position

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Full defensive screens,

XO_Senn says:
CSO: patch it through to my console as well please ::sits down::

EO_Thompson says:
*CEO* they are fine

CTO_Gore says:
CNS: I wonder what they could be up to...

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Defensive screens up sir.

CSO_MacMer says:
XO: Aye, aye.  ::Sends data to her position::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Status report on power, hull integrity

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: Tell me about them Jason, how bad off are they?

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::starts to manipulate the console:: CSO: give me a hand here..

CEO_Alarra says:
*EO*: Acknowledged.

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: We have full power, hull integrity holding at 70%

XO_Senn says:
::taps the interface and reads MacMer's data::

CEO_Alarra says:
::Taps a few buttons in her console then moves her chair out to climb underneath::

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Excellent, warm the main disrupters up, but keep them on pre-firing sequence

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, the readings are shifting.

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Yes sir.

CEO_Alarra says:
::reappears only log enough to grab a toolkit and the proper tool::

CNS_Sodak says:
CTO: That's understandable and a wise precaution

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: Begin sending out a continuous tachyon pulse rotating across the spectrum, that will cause any containment on a tractor beam or transporter to fail

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: This is not working at all...not possible to get any readings..Sir.

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: I can't get real specifics, the data is being garbled by the singularity.

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Captain, the Romulans have raised shields and powered weapons as well.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CSO: I agree...getting the same results here.

CEO_Alarra says:
::sparks come from underneath the engineering console as she jumps out from under it::

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Main disruptors ready, set at pre-firing sequence.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@COM:  Jashir:  Ready. Prepare

CO_Bryant says:
COM: Tolar: Power down your engines we'll tow you out of the system and send for help for you from the empire.

Host LtJashir says:
::smiles, and goes into an out of the way corridor::

XO_Senn says:
CO: Do you remember they passed through a verteron particle phenomenon...?  ::turns to CSO:: CSO: Does that relate in any way with the singularity we're trying to scan from here?

EO_Thompson says:
*CEO* what is going on up there?

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CTO: What are they targeting?

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Aye sir...sending out tachyon pulses....

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::getting worried...it's only a trap::

CSO_MacMer says:
XO: That depends upon the particular phenomenon.  I don't have any specific on it.

CEO_Alarra says:
*EO*: Nothing, the console just tried to explode.

Host LtJashir says:
::takes out the small remote, and presses the button::

XO_Senn says:
CSO: I know that... Romulans will never tell us anything, but I hoped you could shed some light into this.

EO_Thompson says:
*CEO*ok do you want me to shut off the console

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : Shields go down, weapons fail.. All systems go offline...

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@COM: Jashir:  Ready............beaming

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : A small explosion is captured on sensors before they go out

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: I'm getting unauthorized transmission from within our Ship!

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Weapons and shields have gone offline...

Host LtJashir says:
::smiles, his task complete::

XO_Senn says:
::stands up:: ALL: Report!

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: Their systems are offline sir.

CEO_Alarra says:
*EO*: No, I can do that from up here. Thank you.

CO_Bryant says:
CEO: What's going on?

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Fires 10 metal containers at the Artemis, magnets, which will attach themselves to the Artemis' Hull::

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : Internal comms go down

CSO_MacMer says:
::Turning back to console, trying to bring it back on line::

Cent_Korvan says:
@::smiles::

XO_Senn says:
CO: We're an easy prey to the cloud in this state...

EO_Thompson says:
*CEo* yea engineering went down

CEO_Alarra says:
::rushes over to her broken console:: CO: We just lost internal comms and all systems blanked out for a moment.

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Sensors off-line as well sir...we recorded an explosion just before...

CO_Bryant says:
:::takes a seat and just enjoys the ride:::

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : As the shields go down, the rust masking the Artemis starts to scatter into space

CEO_Alarra says:
CO: Damage control teams are dispatched

XO_Senn says:
CEO: We need shields back online if not much else to vent more rust.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: Ship COMM. is down..trying to put it back up...

CNS_Sodak says:
All: Well, this is just dandy

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Jashir:  Welcome to the Tolar! good work

CEO_Alarra says:
*LtJashir*: Please head damage control team 2 and focus on shields.

Host LtJashir says:
@::bows:: I live to serve..

Cent_Korvan says:
@Jashir: Welcome back Jashir.

EO_Thompson says:
*co*i have rust in the cargo bay if you need it

CO_Bryant says:
CEO: I want weapons right now

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Sir, who do want to act as runners?

CO_Bryant says:
XO: find me a way to turn that Romulan ship to rubble now

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Initiates the transporter, beaming a sliver of the cloud into the Tolar's Main Cargo Bay now ripe with rust to keep it content during the journey to Romulus::

CEO_Alarra says:
CO: Aye sir.

CEO_Alarra says:
::Runs to turbolift::

CO_Bryant says:
CTO: can you fire torpedoes manually?

XO_Senn says:
CO: We still have shuttles, sir... ::looks into Cody's eyes::

CEO_Alarra says:
TL: engineering

EO_Thompson says:
*CEO* do you want me to head a damage team

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : The cloud starts for the Artemis again.. Though the Artemis can't see it coming

XO_Senn says:
CO: But I think we could use them to save ourselves rather than fight them...

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: I suggest we take defensive measures...The Romulan ship seems to be "trying' something against us...."I'm sensing it"

CO_Bryant says:
XO: Get three pilots down there now, launch them with torpedo slings and if  the Romulans blink destroy them.

CSO_MacMer says:
XO: If we launch a shuttle and manually launch a torp. the shuttle maybe could pass targeting data to the torp?

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Yes captain I can, but I have no way of knowing what I'm shooting at...

CEO_Alarra says:
::runs into engineering:: EO: Get a damage control team on shields.

XO_Senn says:
CO: And we can use their comms for communicating with the Romulans.

XO_Senn says:
CTO: Could you answer MacMer's question?

CEO_Alarra says:
ALL: Damage control team 3, with me. We've got weapons.

EO_Thompson says:
ceo: shields are at 50%

Host LtJashir says:
ACTION : The cloud engulfs the Artemis

CO_Bryant says:
CSO: any sensor data?

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Centurion, Course heading for Romulus, warp 8 ....

FCO_Joe says:
::says to himself:: What the?

CTO_Gore says:
XO, CSO, CO: Yes...it would work...relay the targeting data from the shuttles, then I could fire manually and see what I'm shooting at.

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::starts to feel danger again...very bad situation::

XO_Senn says:
CO: They had full shields and weapons last we heard, sir, it is not an idea I advise to fire against them at this time. The shuttles would be an easy target and so is the Artemis.

CSO_MacMer says:
CO: Still no sensors.

EO_Thompson says:
ceo: no shields

Cent_Korvan says:
@::sets course and speed:: Cmdr: Course set Cmdr, ready to engage at your command.

CNS_Sodak says:
::To self:: Well, things can't possibly get any worse

CEO_Alarra says:
::turns to Walker:: Walker: Find LtJashir, probably in the cargo bay, and get her to help with the primary systems.

CEO_Alarra says:
EO: Then get shields! Now, you're with team 4

FCO_Joe says:
CSO: Need any help with the sensors

XO_Senn says:
CO: But we could use try to use the shuttles to keep rust around our ship until we repair our systems.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Cent:  Initiate Speed and Heading  ::grins at Lt. Jashir::

Host LtJashir says:
<Computer> : waaarnnninggg... hullll intreg.. .. by...3 %...

CEO_Alarra says:
Team 3: Team 3, with me, now!

Cent_Korvan says:
@::engages::

EO_Thompson says:
All: team 4 come with me

Cent_Korvan  (Warp_out.wav)

XO_Senn says:
FCO: Send three pilots to the shuttle bay and have them initiate preflights....

CO_Bryant says:
XO: make it so

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: We need to get out of  here..fast...

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Yes ma'am

XO_Senn says:
CO: I'll go take one... FCO: I'd like you to handle another one personally. CTO: We could use your input as well... you take the third.

FCO_Joe says:
CO,XO: Permission to be one of those three pilots

XO_Senn says:
::starts to the turbolift::

CTO_Gore says:
CO: Captain...assuming the cloud has engulfed the ship, I could reduce the yield of a rust torpedo and detonate it near the ship...that out hit the cloud, but we may take some damage..

CO_Bryant says:
OPS: Maybe we should go and push?

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@Com: Buoy:  ::sets recording on Buoy for transmission to Artemis once, if, her Comms come back on line::  Artemis, Thank you I believe is the term, for your assistance in our 'rescue' Commander Tolurth, out

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
CO: I volunteer!!

CSO_MacMer says:
CO/XO: How will we coordinate the torp launch until after the shuttle launches?

XO_Senn says:
FCO: Start moving, Joe. You're hired.

CEO_Alarra says:
::Runs out of engineering with team 3 behind her::

Cent_Korvan says:
@::smiles hearing the Cmdr::

CTO_Gore says:
XO: Commander, I'd like to stay here to manually target...

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::thinks his new CO is stressed::

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Yes Commander

FCO_Joe says:
::heads for the TL::

EO_Thompson says:
TEAm4:come with lets fix the shields

OPS_Ensign_Tom_Hewitt says:
::reading his thoughts::

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : CEO learns that the main power conduit was ruptured, and the main systems link to the bridge destroyed.

XO_Senn says:
::stops and turns to MacMer:: CSO: We'll give each other five minutes... it should be enough hopefully. Starting now. CTO: Whatever.

EO_Thompson says:
::runs out of the engineering room with team 4 at the heels::

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : 20 Casualties from the blast

FCO_Joe says:
TL: SB1

XO_Senn says:
::gets into the TL with Teasley::

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : Deck 4 and 5 have a huge whole on the inside..

CEO_Alarra says:
::stops suddenly and heads back for engineering::

CEO_Alarra says:
ALL: Damage control decks 4 and 5.

CEO_Alarra says:
ALL: The rest of you, lets get the bridge back up!!

CSO_MacMer says:
::Starting timer on XO's mark::

XO_Senn says:
::exits the TL and rushes to one of the shuttles:: FCO: See you out there!

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Takes Lt. Jashir, and hands him communiqué's from home, and opens a big bottle of Romulan Ale, Bottled 2245,

EO_Thompson says:
all: we have to chose deck 4&5 or shields

Cent_Korvan says:
@Cmdr: ETA to home is 12 hours sir.

CEO_Alarra says:
EO: Shields.

Host AGMSergio says:
ACTION : As the shuttles prepare to depart and the shuttle bay doors open, people on the Shuttle bay see the cloud blocking their escape..

FCO_Joe says:
XO: Or in hell ::gets into another shuttle::

CEO_Alarra says:
EO: Pull the teams from the cargo bay and get them on deck 4 & 5.

EO_Thompson says:
TEAM4: lets fix the shields

XO_Senn says:
::shuttles are ready and waiting, she signals for manually opening of the shuttlebay doors:: Pilot: I do hope you got some rust in here... we'll need it.

Cmdr_Tolurth says:
@::Tolurth begins telling Jashir of the plans set in motion after the Artemis returned from the Kanibdis System::
