Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
   Captains Log 10210.04 We are still after the stolen tri-lithium that was stolen by the   
    Breen. After a small entanglement with the hurt Breen vessel, they have disappeared
    from our sensors. We now are trying to get a fix on where and who is sending a
    distress message

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin "Remember..." part 6>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

OPS_Mades says:
::on the bridge sitting at OPS, seeing if he can find any more information from that repeating comm::

XO_Farrel says:
::looks up after reading the TO's report:: TO: Thank-you ensign.  Your measures are quite thorough.

FCO_Teasley says:
::keeps an eye out for any traps::

TO_Peters says:
::On the bridge, LR and SR sensors on max.. Hears the XO and looks up.::  XO:  Thank you Sir.

CEO_Russel says:
::crosses his arms, waiting for the EO and repair team to get to work.::

OPS_Mades says:
::checks to see if any of the probes have caught any more cloaked ships::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The Breen ship is still nowhere to be seen.

EO_KTor says:
::starts rebuilding a nearby drive plasma conduit::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Any sign of the Breen?

TO_Peters says:
::Finds her sensors still blank, except for the readings from the planet.:;  Self:  Ok, where are you......  You couldn't have gotten to far....  ::Scans for a moon, asteroid fields, anything that makes a good hiding place....  Also sets a scan on the planet in case it landed.::

OPS_Mades says:
CO: No signs, sir.

CEO_Russel says:
::Watches them for a few seconds, then turns and heads back to the TL.::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Is there anything in the database to suggest of a lost ship in this area...perhaps to account for those human life signs, ensign?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Run a sensor sweep of the area, I want to know if that ship reappears.

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Sir, we are running continuous sensor sweeps and the probes are also checking the system.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Double it, I want nothing to chance

OPS_Mades says:
XO: I'll search the library computer, but I didn't see anything earlier.

OPS_Mades says:
::suddenly, there is that familiar beep again::  CO: Sir, new message from the planet.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Anything in the database on lost ships in this area?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: And that would be?

OPS_Mades says:
CO: It reads, "If there is anybody out there, we are being held prisoners of the Breen.  Help us."

EO_KTor says:
Repair team bravo leader: Take your team and work on the plasma injectors.

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Nothing so far.  Mades ran a check earlier, is double checking now sir.

EO_KTor says:
Repair team Charlie leader: You get your team to work on the warp coils.

CEO_Russel says:
::Enters the TL.::  TL:  Bridge.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Data coming up now.  There have been a few lost ships in the area, but all have been accounted for previously.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Can you get a solid fix on them?

EO_KTor says:
::follows repair team Bravo to the plasma injector::

FCO_Teasley says:
::keeps the ship on course::

OPS_Mades says:
CO: We're too far out, sir.

TO_Peters says:
::Pulls up a map of the system and begins a systematic sweep.::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS/TO: And the defensive grid around the planet, would we be a match for it?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Should I move us in closer sir?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CEO*: how are the repairs coming to the warp nacelle?

EO_KTor says:
::starts repairing on the plasma injectors along with the team::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Not yet

CEO_Russel says:
*CO*:  They're just starting.  It will take a while.

OPS_Mades says:
TO: Let me forward you the information the probe got on the orbital defenses.  ::taps a few keys::

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Well sir, it would be difficult.  I'm detecting 10 standard Breen platforms.  They would have to be taken out one by one and that will take time.  Time I don't know if we have.  ::Looks over to Mades.::  OPS:  Thanks.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: I want to remain 500km away for now

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: Understood

XO_Farrel says:
::looks at the data scrolling across her screen...biting her lip she remembers her doubts from earlier...at first she can't make heads or tails of the readings then they begin to materialize as she puts them together::  OPS: So in your opinion...could we take that grid on?

TO_Peters says:
::Sends back a Thank you to Mades with happy faces on his console.::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: The platforms seem to use something similar to type V phaser arrays.  The do have less range than our phasers.  ::smiles::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: What is our current position?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: We're still away from the planet, sir

OPS_Mades says:
::smiles as he sees dancing smiley faces on his console::  XO: They shouldn't be much of a problem.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*CEO* I need that warp engine online ASAP

TO_Peters says:
XO/OPS:  The time factor to take them out is the biggest problem.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: With our current situation, do you think we could get away with just impulse. If need be?

CEO_Russel says:
::Exits TL onto the bridge.  Turns to his right and sits at the engineering console.  Turns his chair towards the captain.::  CO:  We'll need to make repairs from outside, not possible until this situation is resolved.

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: They have less range than us?  Excellent.... ::looking at the captain::  CO: Do you think we should give it a try, sir?

XO_Farrel says:
TO: How long would it take roughly?

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: The best I can say is maybe, sir

CEO_Russel says:
::presses a button on the console.::  *ME*:  Engineering, transfer to bridge.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: The FCO and I are trying to determine that now

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Captain, I'm picking up another transmission.  It's encrypted.  ::stops and turns::  I think it is Breen and it is coming from the planet, sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Try and decrypt it

OPS_Mades says:
::starts running decode algorythms::

OPS_Mades says:
CO: On it, sir.

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Well....taking into account a sustained fire, set up, it would take approximately 10 minutes each.  We need to destroy at 5 platforms to get a clear orbit, so I would say 1 hour.  ::mutters::

XO_Farrel says:
::Hear Matt's voice behind her and looks over nodding.  Trying to keep the compartment in her mind she had opened earlier closed.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
FCO: Do you think you can get away from a Breen vessel without warp?

OPS_Mades says:
::watches as all of the standard algorhythms fail::  CO: It's not a simple code, sir.  I'll see what I can do but it is going to take time.

CEO_Russel says:
::uneasily nods back at Hali.::

FCO_Teasley says:
CO: If everything is timed right, we can sir

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
CEO: Can we go to warp with just one nacelle?

OPS_Mades says:
::tries a few tricks he knows::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Do your best

XO_Farrel says:
::Senses his uneasiness and quickly looks away, also uneasy::

TO_Peters says:
::Takes a deep breath and closes her eyes for a second.  Centering herself, she opens her eyes and stares back at her console.::

CEO_Russel says:
CO:  No.

OPS_Mades says:
::grumbles as the encryption is stubborn::

TO_Peters says:
::Sets up a firing sequence in case she gets the order to destroy the platforms::

XO_Farrel says:
::Sighs and stands, pulling the uniform in her wrinkles out:: OPS/TO: One hour...any ideas on how we could take them out faster?  Unconventional ideas even... ::needing to get her mind distracted on a problem::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
ALL: Please help me out here, Give me any suggestions you might have

FCO_Teasley says:
::tries to think of something::

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Well, we have to get closer to do any good.

OPS_Mades says:
All: Perhaps is we could determine how the defense platforms’ targeting mechanisms work we can find a way to fool them.

XO_Farrel says:
All: So we need a closer look?

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: I think we do sir

OPS_Mades says:
All:  Also, projecting the path of the platforms, there are small openings in orbit.  They aren't large enough for the Artemis, but a shuttle may be able to avoid the defenses for some time.

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: And once that shuttle had penetrated those defenses, then what would you suggest?

CEO_Russel says:
All:  Even if we get a shuttle through, how do we know the Breen ship isn't waiting for us beyond the platforms?

TO_Peters says:
::With a half ear listening to the suggestions her console lights up.::  All:  I've got an energy buildup on the planet, possible shield of some sort...  Its coming from the base.

TO_Peters says:
All:  We can send a volley of torpedoes to keep everyone busy as we insert the shuttle.

OPS_Mades says:
::spins around::  XO: I don’t know, do something.

XO_Farrel says:
::Raises an eyebrow at Mades, wondering if she had struck a nerve::

CEO_Russel says:
::Sits, thinking, for a while.::

XO_Farrel says:
All: ...and now shielding.  ::Considering all the options::  Lets get a closer look at what we're up against.  FCO: Mr. Teasley, move us to within optimum sensors range, but keep us outside weapons range of the platforms.

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Aye sir

FCO_Teasley says:
::moves the ship in to 50,000 km away::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS/TO: Full scans...look for anything on the platforms we can use to our advantage...

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: We're moving in sir

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
All: So what have you come up with?

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Hmmm Sir,  I wonder is there a way for the platforms to fire on themselves...

XO_Farrel says:
TO: Check the readings, see if you can find a way...

XO_Farrel says:
CO; We're taking a closer peep sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Peep?

TO_Peters says:
::Running varying scenarios::

FCO_Teasley says:
::keeps a close eye on the distances::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::is surprised that Hali would use Earth slang::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Those shields our fine Tactical officer pointed out, well they are covering the entire Breen compound.

XO_Farrel says:
CO: A peep.   ::smiles::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Ok

FCO_Teasley says:
::getting closer::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::thinks he needs to check into sickbay, suddenly doesn't feel well::

OPS_Mades says:
CO/XO: I have pinpoint the human life signs.  They seem to be in a sublevel of the compound, near the source of the comm signals.

XO_Farrel says:
CO: If we could get a message to them...maybe they could bring down the defense grid...

TO_Peters says:
OPS:  Which compound, I'm detecting three ?

OPS_Mades says:
::sends the TO the coordinates::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Try it and you have the CON, I'm going to sickbay

XO_Farrel says:
CO: S-Sir? ::startled::  

TO_Peters says:
XO:  I wonder if we can latch on a tractor beam and force the platforms into the atmosphere....  ::quickly clamps her mouth shut.::

CEO_Russel says:
TO:  You can't latch a tractor beam on a shielded object.

TO_Peters says:
CEO:  Then lets take out the shield generator.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: Nothing to worry about, I feel a little sick

CEO_Russel says:
TO:  We'd need to get into weapons' range, we could take quite a beating...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*Duty MO*: I don't feel well, I'm on my way to Sickbay

Host SM_Sergio says:
<MO> *CO* : Aye sir.. Doctor Mea'e will be waiting for you when you get here.

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: We've arrived at the location

XO_Farrel says:
CO: Aye-aye sir.  ::realizing she is now responsible for a life and death situation, represses a shiver::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::gets up from the CON and walks to the turbolift::

Host XO_Farrel says:
ah...  ::takes a moment to restore her footing::  OPS: Try and establish contact with the humans, see if they can help bring down the defense grid in anyway.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: I'll see what I can do.

TO_Peters says:
CEO:  That is always the kicker isn't it.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::steps into the turbolift and his lunch comes up:: *XO*: Have someone clean up the turbolift 

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
TL: Sickbay

Host XO_Farrel says:
*CO* Aye sir, ill call the Janitor... ::taps a button marked "janitorial services"::

TO_Peters says:
::Reviews a simulation where two probes are sent between to platforms, directly in line with each forcing each platform to fire in the others direction.  Mutters at the results.::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: We're at 50,000 km away, sir

Host XO_Farrel says:
All: What about...that base uses a massive shield...could we use the shield to bounce back a shockwave to damage the platforms?

TO_Peters says:
OPS:  Is there a way you can break into the computer system, rewrite the programming of the platforms...

CEO_Russel says:
XO:  Wouldn't be better than going in and shooting the platforms...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::the turbolift wisks the CO away to Deck 4, but before the turbolift arrives, Ewan collapses and passes out::

OPS_Mades says:
TO: Based on the luck I'm having with the encoded transmission, I'm guessing that is unlikely, but we can try.

Host XO_Farrel says:
CEO: Alright then... All: Looks like we're doing this the hard way.  FCO: Move us in range of a single platform, place it just inside our phaser range.  TO: Be ready to fire...

OPS_Mades says:
::configures a comm channel to send pulses to the source of the morse code signal, hoping he can tape out his own message to the humans::

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Aye, sir

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Aye, Sir

OPS_Mades says:
::sends a simple message, "Anyone home"::

CEO_Russel says:
::sighs and turns back to his console.::

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Ah Sir, the probes in the Asteroid field are picking up a small tachyon disturbance...  Its seems to be heading in our directions.  ::Snarls as she looses the signal.::

OPS_Mades says:
::waits, hoping for a change in the repeating message, but so far nothing::

TO_Peters says:
::checks the coordinates again.::  XO:  What ever it is, it's definitely heading in this direction.

Host XO_Farrel says:
::pauses mid-step on her way back to the chair::  TO: Another ship?  ::mutters to herself something unpleasant:: FCO: Mr. Teasley, do you think you could project one of those Federation warp shadows onto a Breen ship?

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: If they're around, yes I can, sir

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Very possible.

Host XO_Farrel says:
FCO/TO: Then in theory...  those Breen platforms would fire on anything with a Starfleet signature...

OPS_Mades says:
XO: I'm not getting any response from the prisoners.  They may have been able to set the distress beacon and now don't have access to it.

EO_KTor says:
::working on repairing the plasma injectors in the damaged warp nacelle::

TO_Peters says:
XO:  Yes sir.

FCO_Teasley says:
::sees the XO is going::  XO: Yes, they would, sir

CEO_Russel says:
::listens to the rest of the bridge crew as they asses their options.::

Host XO_Farrel says:
All: Well. without warp...  I'm not about to cower behind some moon and be caught tinkering with the warp engine when those Breen show up.  FCO: Make the preparations to project a field on them should they de-cloak...

FCO_Teasley says:
XO: Aye, sir
