Host Erryn says:
MISSION SUMMARY: The Artemis crew, in the Vivien, is in hot pursuit of their own ship.

Host Erryn says:
They have followed the odd mixture of Borg and Federation energy signatures. The mixture has been gradually becoming more Borg than Federation.

Host Erryn says:
Steadily, they are closing in. As it stands now, they should be in weapons range within ten minutes...

Host Erryn says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Somak says:
::stands in the weapons locker, attaching rifles, phasers and knives to his suit::

CEO_Russel says:
::In his quarters, finishing his work on the nano-extractors.::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::refines his sensors and feeds his readings into Helm::

FCO_Teasley says:
::receives the readings from the SO and implements them in::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::sitting in his chair making final check on whom to take on the Away Team::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Sir, I have chosen my team

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: Very well, #1, I will send you over if and when the opportunity presents itself, not a moment earlier, understood?

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: Captain, we arrre enterrring the 'Cat's Crrradle', a section of space that possesses an unusually high numberrr of charrrted cosmic strrrings.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks a little relieved:: CO: Aye Sir

CTO_Somak says:
::picks up a rifle, tweaks its settings to change frequency, and puts it back down::

Host CO_Ross says:
*CTO*: Mr. Somak, do you have a precise interception point estimate?

CMO_Bryn says:
::In sickbay, getting familiar with everything::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::looks peeved at the naming convention:: CO: Subspace is bound to be rrrelatively unstable. We should see about narrrrrowing annularrr confinement forrr trrransporrrterrrs.

CEO_Russel says:
::finishes tweaking the last one.::

Host CO_Ross says:
SO: So be it Mr. Sozor, see to it

CTO_Somak says:
::puts down an antimatter charge:: *CO*: From where I am standing, I could not give you that.

FCO_Teasley says:
SO: I have your reading implemented into the helm

Host CO_Ross says:
::Checks his PADD::

Host CO_Ross says:
SO: Mr. Sozor, can you supply me with an interception estimate to the Artemis?

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: Aye, sirrr. ::taps com-badge:: *CEO*: Misterrr Rrrrussell, could you meet me in Trrransporrrterrr Rrroom 1?

Host CO_Ross says:
*CTO*: Very well Mr. Somak, how are things coming along?

CEO_Russel says:
*SO*:  Is it an emergency?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks about the Bridge of the Vivien::

CTO_Somak says:
*CO*: Sir, I'm worried about the integrity of our weapons. The Borg will adapt, and very soon we'll be using hand-to-hand combat techniques.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Reaching the last cabinet, closes it in frustration, not finding what she wanted.::

Host CO_Ross says:
*CTO*: I'm aware of that, I'm not too sure when and if the AT will be used. I'm thinking on different avenues of approach, but keep preparing for an Away Mission

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
*CEO* No, but we will need to rrreconfigurrre annularrr confinement forrr this rrregion of space.

CMO_Bryn says:
::In the quiet of the room, slips down to the floor, ready to cry.::

CEO_Russel says:
*SO*:  Alright, I'll be there in 5 to 10.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::looks at his sensors:: CO: Captain, I'm detecting grrraviton emissions frrrom the vicinity of the Arrrtemis.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Ross says:
SO: what direction are the emissions pointing?

CMO_Bryn says:
::Hearing movement in the other room, reaches up and grasps the edge of the counter, pulling herself up with a sigh.::

FCO_Teasley says:
::checks scanners for the Artemis::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: The Arrrtemis has halted and is holding position.

CTO_Somak says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. ::picks up the antimatter charge again and places it into the neat pile::

Host CO_Ross says:
SO: Distance?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::knows that when the he announces the names on the possible away team, they're not going to like his decision::

Host CO_Ross says:
SO: Any nebulas nearby Mr. Sozor?

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: They appearrr to be firrring pulses frrrom the navigational deflectorrr at a strrring in a patterrrn I've neverrr seen beforrre. Scanning.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Leaving the room, she heads for the bridge.::

CEO_Russel says:
::double checks the four nano-extractors.::

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, what is our present speed?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Checking

CEO_Russel says:
::turns them on and scans them with his tricorder, one by one.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: We are at full impulse, sir

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO No nebulas and 2 minutes away at prrresent speed.

Host CO_Ross says:
SO: Give the coordinates to Mr. Teasley

CMO_Bryn says:
::Steps onto the TL::  Computer: Bridge

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::begins to feel anxious::

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Reduce speed to 1/2 impulse

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::reduces speed::

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: #1, Red Alert if you please

CTO_Somak says:
::loads a few bat'leths, in case they are needed:: *XO*: I'm nearly done here, sir. I've got the usual rifles and phasers, some hand-to-hand combat items, and antimatter charges to destroy anything.

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: Sirrr! Theerrre is a tearrr in subspace, caused by the Arrrtemis, dirrrectly ahead of it. It looks... Grrreat Motherrr.. it has charracterrristics of a worrrmhole!

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye Sir ::hits Red Alert klaxons::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Steps onto the bridge and walks over to the captains chair.::

CEO_Russel says:
::puts his tools back in his tool kit.  Puts the extractors in a bag.  Picks them up and exits his quarters.::

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: #1, do you have the Artemis' prefix codes handy?

CTO_Somak says:
::enters the turbo lift, heading for the bridge::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Yes Sir ::brings up the prefix codes, hands his PADD over to the Captain::

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the TL.::  TL:  Transporter room 1.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Quietly stands beside the captains chair, observing.::

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: Very well #1, when Mr. Somak arrives we will see what we will se

CTO_Somak says:
::steps onto the bridge, and stands behind tactical, fully loaded with weapons::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Yes Sir, but I'm afraid what we'll see

Host CO_Ross says:
::Smirks.:: XO: understatement of the millenium #1

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: Captain, sensorrrs rrreveal that it is a trrransdimensional rrrift. Whateverrr we do.. we need to do it quickly!

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: I guess so Sir

CTO_Somak says:
CO/XO: Sirs, I've had all weaponry sent to the transporter room. Our plan for attack, however, still requires discussion.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The rift grows wider as the Vivien enters weapons range.

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Mr. Somak, am I correct in saying that a warp core will seal a temporal rift in subspace?

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits TL.  Walks to TR1.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Sir, we're entering weapons range

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Full stop Mr. Teasley

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::stops the ship::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: A volley of phaser fire breaks across the bow of the Vivien, barely missing.

CTO_Somak says:
::looks down at his console:: CO: Correct, sir. I assume you mean a warp core breach.

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: #1, transmit the prefix codes, power down the Artemis' weapons and warp core

CMO_Bryn says:
::Not seeing the counselor, takes her seat::

CTO_Somak says:
::registers phaser fire:: CO: We've arrived in weapons range, and the Artemis is attacking.

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Mr. Somak, remaote a shuttle to the rift, eject the core and detonate it with a phaser volley from the shuttle

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
CO: Can we EJECT the Warrrp Corrre, using these codes?

Host CO_Ross says:
SO: That will be my second command if the codes work

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters TR1.  Notices the SO isn't there.::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::didn't like that volley one bit:: CO: Aye Sir ::access the computer on the chair arm and transmits the prefix codes to power down the Artemis' weapons and warp core::

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, that would probably be a better idea. ::console beep:: Artemis is hailing...

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: A photon torpedo glances off the port shields of the Vivien.

CEO_Russel says:
::Walks to the console and starts reconfiguring the transporters to compensate for the interference.::

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, back us away out of phaser range

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::excuses himself, remembering to get to TR1, getting into the TL::

Host CO_Ross says:
::Sees his CMO sitting down and winks at her::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The rift grows large enough for a large shuttle to enter.

CTO_Somak says:
::prepares the shuttle for departure::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::backs the ship up::

CMO_Bryn says:
::Catches the captains wink and smiles sadly at him, then turns to the screen.::

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, the rift is creating some sort of wormhole, it's getting larger.

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: #1, once those codes are transmitted, transmit another ejecting the warp core

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye Sir

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::Exits the TL and heads for TR1 at a dead run::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: We're out of phaser ranger sir

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The comm beeps again.

Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Mr. Monroe, prepare the deflector dish to fire a tachyon pulse at the rift, perhaps that will have a desired effect

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Very well, hold position

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks back down at his computer begins to transmit warp core ejection prefix codes::

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Lay in a course to the nearest nebula should we need to evade

CTO_Somak says:
CO: ::acknowledges beep again, and looks up at the CO, waiting for his response::

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: proceed with your last orders

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: With a sudden surge, the rift doubles in size.

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::plots course to the nearest nebula::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
:: Enters the TR and immediately begins helping the CEO::

CTO_Somak says:
::launches the shuttle, and send it towards the rift, trying to avoid Artemis fire::

CEO_Russel says:
::continues working.::  SO:  Nice of you to show up.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: A strangely-colored tractor beam from the Artemis snatches the shuttle once it's within range.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Leans forward and speaks to no one in particular::  What have they done with the beam?

CTO_Somak says:
CO: The shuttle is caught in a tractor beam. ::somehow knew that would happen::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::works quickly:: CEO: I got hung up on a trrransdimensional rrrift.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The shuttle vibrates violently, then explodes.

Host CO_Ross says:
Bridge: Recommendations people?

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::looks back down at his computer begins to transmit warp core ejection prefix codes once again::

CEO_Russel says:
::nods, continues working.::

CMO_Bryn says:
CO:  Am I wrong in thinking this does not seem normal... for the Borg that is?

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, We can target engineering. Power the ship down... The Vivien has superior firepower, and if we're careful it shouldn't be too much trouble.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The rift grows in another surge, almost large enough for the Artemis to enter.

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Very well, perpare for full spread on the photon torps and phasers

CTO_Somak says:
CO: ::reads console again:: And sir, if we don't do something soon, the rift will be large enough for the Artemis to enter.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::hates to think of the worse:: CO: Destroy her

CSO_Monroe says:
::Looks up from the console:: CO: The reading from the rift... the destination is to the Delta Quadrant, sir! And there is a temporal shift!

CTO_Somak says:
::targets engineering, and powers weapons::

Host CO_Ross says:
COM: Artemis: Borg drones, this is the USS Vivien, I want my ship back,......NOW!

CMO_Bryn says:
::Taps comm-badge::  SO:  Did you have time to look over my reports on the nanites?

Host Erryn says:
COMM: Vivien:  You will leave this space immediately, or be destroyed. Resistance is futile.

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: ::Whispers:: prepare to fire

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::thinks of something and taps com-badge:: *Bridge* If the prrrefix codes worrrked, shut down the deflectorrr!

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Take us in

CTO_Somak says:
::nods to the CO, and hovers button over the fire button::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Weapons are free, make them count!

FCO_Teasley says:
::moves the ship in weapons range::

CTO_Somak says:
::fires photons and phasers at engineering, keeping a close eye on the status of the Artemis::

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Continuous fire

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Sir, if the core detonates...

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::hopes that it works::

Host CO_Ross says:
CO: if the core detonates, cease fire, wait for additional orders

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The first torpedo hits the Artemis' shuttlebay, and the first phaser blast scorches the middle decks...the second of each glance off adaptive shields.

CTO_Somak says:
::checks targeting sensors and fires again::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Artemis fires a spread of three torpedos at the Vivien, going wide.

Host CO_Ross says:
*CEO*: Mr. Russel, what is our weakest shield on the Arty?

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::taps his com-badge and transfers channel as he continues working:: *CMO* No. Therrrre was no time to come up with something morrre delicate, doctorrr.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Artemis' deflector dish shuts down.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Sir, it looks as though we're gonna have to use an Away Team

CTO_Somak says:
CO: The subspace distortion is affecting my aim. The Artemis is shutting it's deflector down, they may be preparing to enter.

CMO_Bryn says:
*SO*:  I am wondering if there is anyway we can control the nanites...  I fiddled around enough with their functions.

Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Mr. Monroe, will transporters work through that adaptive shielding?

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  Er, aft, I think.

CTO_Somak says:
CO: We have a few quantum torpedoes and three tri-cobalt torpedoes.

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Mr. Somak, target the aft shields

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Use what you have

CSO_Monroe says:
CO: No sir

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: That ship remains ours, or no ones!

CTO_Somak says:
::targets aft shields, trying to compensate for the distortion, and fires a quantum torpedo::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Artemis eases forward under impulse power. Subspace distortions begin to ripple through the immediately area, giving the Vivien's crew headaches and double-vision.

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: Answers that question #1

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye Sir it does

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::yowls in pain and stumbles, the Caitian's delicate balance thrown off as he topples over to sit down, hard::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The quantum torpedo hits the Artemis near the impulse reactors, creating an impressive blast of debris. The blast, unfortunately, pushes the Artemis directly toward the rift.

CMO_Bryn says:
::Lets Bryn’s systems take over and heads for the environmental systems.::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: We may have no alternative but to destroy her

CTO_Somak says:
CO: Captain, the Artemis is heading through the rift. ::loads a tri-cobalt warhead, keeps it hot::

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Mr. Somak, destroy the Artemis

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley take us right up behind the Artemis

FCO_Teasley says:
::closes his eyes::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Artemis enters the rift...

CEO_Russel says:
::puts his hand on his head.::  SO:  Are you ok?

CTO_Somak says:
::regretfully fires the tri-cobalt torpedo::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::lines up right behind the Artemis::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::hated to give that suggestion, but it needed to be done::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The tri-cobalt torpedo hits the engineering section, nearly splitting the ship in half.

Host CO_Ross says:
::hangs his head in disappointment::

CTO_Somak says:
::cringes at the sight of the Artemis::

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Sir, need to hit her again

FCO_Teasley says:
::dosen't want to see the Artemis destroyed::

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Use all remaining torpedos and obliterate her

CMO_Bryn says:
::Makes adjustments to the systems to ease the stress on the crew.::

CSO_Monroe says:
CO: An idea.  We can camamflouge a Shuttle to guide her through the shields of the Artemis.

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The Artemis' warp core detonates with an impressive shockwave.

CTO_Somak says:
::wonders if the Captain is clearheaded, and loads the remaining two tri-cobalt warheads::

Host CO_Ross says:
CTO: Belay that order

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
::shakes his head to clear it and feels the shockwave, drooping his ears in sorrow:: Oh, no...

CMO_Bryn says:
::Grabs onto the station, sitting down quickly into the chair::

FCO_Teasley says:
::prepares to take the ship to the nebula::

CTO_Somak says:
::stops finger micrometers from the fire button, and deactivates the torpedoes::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: The rift closes, leaving only a smattering of debris to mark the existence of the Artemis.

Host CO_Ross says:
FCO: Mr. Teasley, tractor beam on the hull parts

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::engages tractor beam::

Host Erryn says:
ACTION: Several small scraps of metal are pulled in.

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
::begins to feel remorse, but it needed to be done::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Do you think they'll build another Artemis?

CSO_Monroe says:
::Looking on the view screen:: Oh god...

CMO_Bryn says:
::Looks at the screen in shock::

SO_Sozorstennaj says:
:shakes his head at the CEO and sorrowfully limps his way to Sickbay::

FCO_Teasley says:
::hangs his head in regret::

Host CO_Ross says:
XO: Stand down Red Alert #1

CMO_Bryn says:
::Looks down at her clenched fits, then quietly stands to return to sickbay.::

Host CO_Ross says:
CSO: Make a full sensor scan of the area

XO_MacPherson-Quest says:
CO: Aye Sir ::turns off the klaxons::

Host Erryn says:
