XO_Farrel says:
EO: So, was the transport successful?

Host SM_Sergio says:
#*Artemis* : Artemis, I have the Doctor with me…

Comm: Shuttle: How long will you be able to avoid the orbital platforms?

EO_KTor says:
::sets up scans of the area around the AT for Breen life signs::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Aye

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  I'm not picking up much on the scans.  That shield blocks most of it.  But...... ::turns a bit::  I have finding a break in the shield. ::Points to her left:: In that direction.

Host SM_Sergio says:
#<FCO> COMM: Artemis: XO : Not long...

Host SM_Sergio says:

@CTO:  Right.  Follow me.  ::in a crouch, makes his way to the area indicated by the CTO, taking cover behind rocks as he goes.::

XO_Farrel says:
::Agreeing with the captain:: OPS: beam the shuttle aboard.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The first phaser hit connects, just as the Shuttle is turning around to head for the Artemis…

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Good, at any sign of trouble do an emergency beam out

CTO_Peters says:
@::Brings up the rear after switcher her phaser for her rifle that was slung over her shoulder.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The FCO's console explodes, and he is thrown back

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Knocking him out

OPS_Mades says:
::nods and deftly beams the shuttle into the shuttle bay and the inhabitants to sickbay::

Dr_Rien says:
#::grabs the arm of the seat and is shaken quite hard::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The second platform approaches the shuttle, coming near to firing range…

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Did we get them?

CTO_Peters says:
@ CEO:   I wonder if there are any of these Breen suits lying around.  It would make it easier moving inside the complex.

EO_KTor says:
CO/XO: Sir, the shuttle's shields are failing.

OPS_Mades says:
::checks the readout on his console::

Dr_Rien says:
#::looks over at the exploding console::  FCO: No!!!!! Come on!  Snap out of it! ::shakes him trying to wake him up::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Shuttle and crew are safely aboard.  ::smiles to himself::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Where the shuttle was before being beamed, a phaser strike passes…

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Good timing ::smiling::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: I do what I can.  ::smile widens::

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  We are almost there, just a couple more meters.

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Inform sickbay to expect the doctor and FCO.

CEO_Russel says:
@::reaches the non-shielded area.::

EO_KTor says:
::keeps scanning the area around the away team and trying to scan through the shields::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
XO: I'm heading to Sickbay to check on the good Dr.

XO_Farrel says:
::Nods:: CO: Aye, aye, sir.

OPS_Mades says:
*Sickbay*: You should have two guests.  Sorry I couldn't RSVP but it was a last second thing.

Dr_Rien says:
::sits in the sickbay cradling the FCO in her arms:: FCO: It's alright, you're safe now. ::brushes his hair from his eyes::

CEO_Russel says:
@::runs a scan of the area.::  CTO:  Picking up 4 Breen.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::walks from the CONN and heads to the turbolift and enters:: TL: Sickbay

XO_Farrel says:
::relieved that the plan has succeeded thus far.  Wonders how long the wait will be, finding it hard to stay still, and slowly pacing the bridge::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The MOs reach down and pick the FCO up, putting him in a bio-bed.

Dr_Rien says:
::looks up and sees some medical people hurrying over to her::  All: Please help this poor man.

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  Got him.  :::Raises her rifle.::

OPS_Mades says:
::something strikes him:: XO: Um, with the shuttle gone, how are we going to get the away team back?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The platforms return to their normal orbital paths..

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Hmm, looks like that's up to us.  Let's start taking down more of the orbital platforms.  Enter the outermost phaser range of one of them and begin firing phasers only.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Points to the right after tapping the CEO on the shoulder.::

EO_KTor says:
CO/XO: Sir, the platforms are spreading out into standard orbits.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Okay, this should be fun.  ::sets course and targets weapons::

CEO_Russel says:
@::nods::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Keep an eye on the positions of the orbital platforms while we attack.

Dr_Rien says:
::sits on the edge of a biobed and tries to figure out just what is happening::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Moves off quietly in the direction she pointed.::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: ETA to first platform, 2 minutes.  ::engages the course::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::after the lift stops, Ewan exits, then heads to Sickbay::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : The Breen closest to them starts moving in their direction… Hurried, too…

EO_KTor says:
::starts trying to send a tracking signal to the away team's comm-badges to track them::

XO_Farrel says:
*All hands* Battle stations…

Dr_Rien says:
::watches as the doctors tend to the injured FCO:: All: Will he be alright?

CEO_Russel says:
@::follows the CTO, a few meters behind.::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Approaching the first platform.  Shall we start?

CTO_Peters says:
@::looks around for somewhere to hide.  Motions for the CEO to find a hiding spot.::  CEO:  We got one coming our way, sir! ::In a loud whisper.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
<MO> Dr : We'll take good care of him.. He'll be fine.. Now if you'll excuse us.. I think the Captain's on his way to speak with you...

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: By all mean, fire phasers at will ensign.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::taps his COMM badge:: *XO*: What's going on Hali?

EO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, I have their comm-badges on scanners, but the signal is very faint. We may lose it if they go deeper into the shield.

CEO_Russel says:
@::Takes up position behind a large rock, readying his rifle and monitoring the Breen's approach.::

XO_Farrel says:
*CO* Sir, we're going to take down the remaining orbital platforms, one by one.

OPS_Mades says:
::smirks as he targets the platform.  As soon as they come into phaser range, he fires.::

Dr_Rien says:
::smiles and sits back on the bed and rubs her knees slightly::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: acknowledged.

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION :  Another MO scans the doctor, and gives her an all clear…

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The platform rocks…  20% drainage in the shields…

OPS_Mades says:
::continues firing::

Dr_Rien says:
MO: Thank you so much. It's good to know that everything is still in working order.

EO_KTor says:
All on bridge: Platform's shields down 20%.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
*XO*: Don't do anything rash that will get us blown from the skies

CTO_Peters says:
@::Moves in behind a rock.  Positioning her Rifle she is ready for the Breen to pass.::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : The Breen comes looking, prepared for where they are…  As soon as he sees the AT, he ducks for cover, and starts firing…

OPS_Mades says:
XO/EO: Tough little suckers.  ::fires again and again::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : The other 4 Breen are also moving in on the AT now..

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Good   *CO* Aye, aye

CTO_Peters says:
@::Returns fire::

CEO_Russel says:
@::ducks the Breen's fire, then returns fire.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::finally reaches Sickbay, he enters after the doors open::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The platform explodes after about 5 direct hits

CTO_Peters says:
@::trying to position herself better::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : The Breen manages to evade all the shots, and fires from his cover spot::

OPS_Mades says:
::cheers as the platform goes boom::  XO: Now, that is fun!

EO_KTor says:
::works on enhancing the tracking lock on the away team::

Dr_Rien says:
::sees a tall handsome man in uniform entering sickbay and smiles::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Fire on the next target  ::smiling at Mades enthusiasm::

CEO_Russel says:
@::curses as he reads the other Breens moving in.::

OPS_Mades says:
::sets course for the next platform::  XO: We'll be in range in 3 minutes.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::walks over to the Dr:: Dr. Rien: I'm Capt. Ewan McPherson-Quest, happy to have you aboard

Dr_Rien says:
::tries to brush the dust from her clothes before the Captain comes over::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Continues to fire concentrating on the rock, trying to destroy the hide hole of that Breen::

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : The platforms move their trajectories to cover for the missing platform, but they can't cover as much ground.. The gaps between them widen..

Dr_Rien says:
::extends her hand:: CO: So happy to be here in one piece Captain. Thank you and your people for rescuing me.

CEO_Russel says:
@::continues to return fire at the Breen, monitoring the others' advance.::

EO_KTor says:
XO: The platforms are adjusting to fill the empty space, but they're spreading out, sir.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Sees the rock turn bright red and prepares for the rock to explode exposing the Breen::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : As the one Breen tries to move for another cover spot, the CEO catches him mid-chest, and he falls to the floor::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Good, any word from the AT?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::shakes her hand:: Dr Rien: It was our pleasure. Also we have an away team on the surface trying to locate the other Dr

EO_KTor says:
XO: I've got their comm-badges' tracking signals, but neither of their comm channels is open sir.

OPS_Mades says:
::already has the next platform targeted even though they are still a minute away::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Sees the Breen fall.:: CEO:  Nice shot, sir.  We better get moving before we get surrounded.  ::Begins to move towards the complex.::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: If we tried contacting them, would that give away their location to the Breen?

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : The rest of the Breen are getting closer, but the coast seems to be clear for the AT to enter the compound through the entrance this Breen was covering

Dr_Rien says:
CO: He was in the cell next to mine, down in the lower level.  I couldn't free him before the guards came. You have to find him.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: They're here!  Firing.

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Right.  ::runs to the CTO's rock.::

OPS_Mades says:
::fires at the next target::

CEO_Russel says:
@::resumes following the CTO, taking cover as he goes, monitoring the Breens.::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Moves quickly::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Dr. Rien: They're trying their best. I was wondering....::pauses:: would you be willing to come up to the Bridge and assist us?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : Another platform explodes..

OPS_Mades says:
::smiles again:: XO: Next?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : One more, and the Artemis will be able to move to planet order…

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Oh yes, next.  ::Grins::

OPS_Mades says:
::sets course:: XO: ETA 2 minutes until boom.

Dr_Rien says:
CO: Of course Captain, but I'm not sure I'll be of help but I will try.

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : The AT reach a door, that leads to a metal covered tunnel...

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Dr. Rien: Any knowledge you have of the facilities will help my Operations Officer tremendously. He then can relay that information down to the away teams.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Takes one side of the door waiting for the CEO.::

XO_Farrel says:
::Wonders about the team, assuming all is going well, otherwise they'd call for rescue...::

Host SM_Sergio says:
@ACTION : The other 3 Breen are closing in from outside, coming from different tunnels.

Dr_Rien says:
::nods::  CO: Very well Captain.

CEO_Russel says:
@::Reaches the tunnel, scans it for traps before heading into it.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Dr. Rien: Thank you

OPS_Mades says:
::approaches the next platform and opens fire once again::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Hmm...would it be possible to send a comm to the away team that is hidden?

EO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, we could contact the away team, it would not reveal them any more on sensors than they already are. They have not contacted me.

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Clear.  ::Heads into the tunnel.::

EO_KTor says:
XO: Also, our probe is detecting tachyons approaching from the asteroid belt.

Dr_Rien says:
::jumps off the biobed and straightens her lab coat then waits for the Captain::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::turns his attention to his FCO:: MO: How is Cmdr. Teasley?

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Hmm, sounds like another ship.

EO_KTor says:
XO: Could be another cloaked ship, sir.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Nods at the CEO and enters the Tunnel.:: CEO:  Our other friends are descending on us quickly.  Any ideas where they will be keeping the doctor?

Host SM_Sergio says:
ACTION : One more platform is destroyed by Mades.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Uh oh.  Guess they didn't like us playing with their toys.  Well, breaking their toys.

EO_KTor says:
XO: Would you like me to contact the away team, sir?

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: So, have we done enough damage to enter a stable orbit if needed?

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Logically, in some sort of brig.  Question is where is it.  ::scans for human life signs.::

OPS_Mades says:
::checks the new orbits:: XO: Looks like it.

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Not for the moment, I'm hoping to relay some more information from Dr. Rein within the same comm.

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  I'm picking up a large power source...  hmmm, lower levels… 

EO_KTor says:
XO: Yes, sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
<MO> CO: He was just knocked unconscious. He'll be fine and ready for duty soon

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
<MO> CO: Also, he needs to recover from the burns, sir

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Probably what's powering the shields.  Taking it out would make the assault on the base much easier...

XO_Farrel says:
*Sickbay* Sickbay, Dr.  Rein is urgently needed on the bridge.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
MO: Take good care of him

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
<MO> CO: Aye sir, we will.

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO: Most definitely.  Well, shall we go and set off some fireworks?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::turns his attention back to the Dr. Dr. Rien: If you would follow me ::smiles::

Dr_Rien says:
::smiles at the MO and heads for the door:: CO: Good news isn't it Captain?

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Well...hold our current position.  Have the aft phasers fully powered incase a ship de-cloaks from behind, and preprogram some maneuvers too.

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  We still got to free the doctor, they could execute him if we take too much time.

EO_KTor says:
::sets up full sensor and scanner sweeps for all around the ship::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Dr. Rien: Absolutely

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  Whatever we are going to do we got to do it quickly.  ::Double-checks her tricorder::  We got 30 Breen whose only mission is to hunt us down....

Dr_Rien says:
::exits sickbay with the Captain really happy that the FCO will recover::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan leads the way to the turbolift::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Keep a close eye out for that potential cloaked ship

OPS_Mades says:
::raises one eyebrow:: XO: Hmm, this could get heated.  I'll get on it.

EO_KTor says:
XO: Yes, sir. I'm not picking anything up at this time.

Dr_Rien says:
::steps into the turbolift::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
TL: Bridge

OPS_Mades says:
::starts preparing as best he can for an attack::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Dr Rien: How did you and the other Dr. become guests of the Breen?

CTO_Peters says:
@::Finds some stairs and begins to descend to the lower levels.::

XO_Farrel says:
::her pacing takes her to the science station:: EO: Can we get a picture of what the base internal structure is?

OPS_Mades says:
::his console beeps fervently::  XO:  I have an uncloaked Breen warship dropping out of warp.  It is heading straight for us.

EO_KTor says:
XO: Scanners are not penetrating the shield, but we could get plenty of information about the areas outside it, sir.

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: What class?  Are we a match for them?

CTO_Peters says:
@::Looks back to make sure the CEO is still with her.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::the turbolift doors opens on the Bridge::

EO_KTor says:
XO: However sir, we do have a snapshot of the base from the destroyed probe. Shall I send it to your station sir?

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::Ewan steps off the turbolift with the Dr.::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: It’s the same class as the ones we've already faced.  It'll be here in under 15 minutes.

Dr_Rien says:
CO: Not willingly, captain.  We were working on Dr. Soran's theories of using the reactions in the sun to prolong their life, but the Breen seized us to do the exact opposite. They wanted to turn our research into a method for a weapon of mass destruction.

XO_Farrel says:
::smiles:: EO: Ah, some good news, put it on the master display along the rear of the bridge.

EO_KTor says:
::transfers the probe's telemetry to the rear viewer::

EO_KTor says:
XO: Done sir.

Dr_Rien says:
::enters the bridge and looks around in awe::  CO: Impressive!

CTO_Peters says:
@::Reaches the bottom of the stairs.::

EO_KTor says:
::directs some heavy scanning at the de-cloaked ship::

XO_Farrel says:
::Smiles and walks over to the new face:: Dr. Rein, welcome aboard the Artemis.

CEO_Russel says:
@::sighs as the CTO heads down the stairs.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
Dr. Rien:  That’s the Breen for you, always trying to gain more weapons of power whenever or wherever they can

OPS_Mades says:
::a different beep:: XO: Now I'm getting, well, a Federation signal.  ::shakes his head:: But I can't tell where it is coming from.

Dr_Rien says:
::nods::  XO: Thank you, sir.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : From the shadows, a Breen jumps out, and start firing on the CTO…

CTO_Peters says:
@::Hits the floor and begins to fire back.::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Try your best to hone in on it

OPS_Mades says:
XO: It's a hail!

Dr_Rien says:
CO/XO: Gentlemen, now what can I do to help you?

EO_KTor says:
::gets the signal parameters from the OPS station and starts trying to calculate the point of transmission::

CEO_Russel says:
@::Hears weapons' fire coming from the bottom of the stairs.  Curses and heads down.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
::walks over to Hali:: XO: Hali, this is Dr Rien...  Dr. Rien: This Cmdr. Hali Farrel, my Executive Officer

XO_Farrel says:
Rien: Doctor  ::motioning her over to the rear display showing a snap shot of the bases internal outline::  we need you to figure out whereabouts you think your companion may be held in the base...

EO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, the Breen ship appears to be a standard cruiser class.

OPS_Mades says:
::wonders if the XO wants to hear the hail::

Dr_Rien says:
::walks to the display and runs her finger over it tracing the tunnels and the corridors::

XO_Farrel says:
Rien: ::nods at the introductions:: my apologies for my haste, but the information is paramount for our away team.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : The Breen is surprised by the CEO coming down the stairs, and gets out of cover to fire on him

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: A hail?  put it on... ::curiosity peaked::

Dr_Rien says:
XO: Indeed it is. Now let's see...

CEO_Russel says:
@::Reaches the bottom of the stairs.  Spots the Breen.  Raises his rifle and fires.::

EO_KTor says:
::tries to track the COMM signal to its source.::

OPS_Mades says:
::nods and puts the hail on speaker/screen as appropriate::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : On the Screen, a Federation Commander appears… He's wearing a non-standard uniform:: COMM Artemis : Greetings Artemis…

XO_Farrel says:
::Watching the doctor tracing her steps on from the corner of her eye while listening to the speakers::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : On the background, a Defiant class style bridge can be seen.

XO_Farrel says:
::looks at the viewer, then to the captain with a "what the..?" look, then back to the viewer::

OPS_Mades says:
::wonders what this is all about, checks on the Breen vessel while he listens::

EO_KTor says:
::forwards scanner results on the Breen ship to the OPS station::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
#COMM Artemis : I gather you are in need of assistance?

OPS_Mades says:
::nods his thanks to the EO::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Any luck finding the other Dr., Mr. Mades?

XO_Farrel says:
Comm Rovero: Greetings...  yes I had no idea Starfleet was sending reinforcements...

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
#COMM Artemis : Well…  Let's just say I was in the area...

Dr_Rien says:
::continues to run her finger along the route she remembers:: XO: Here, take this corridor to sub level one and through the large open area at the end of the corridor there's an iron clad door. The cells are through there, but be careful, the guard's barracks are just off to the left, about 50 meters.

OPS_Mades says:
CO: I still can't penetrate the shielding, but I think the EO has been working at it more than I have been, sir.

EO_KTor says:
CO/XO: Sir, I'm picking up a second tachyon trail, heading towards the Breen ship!

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : The Breen down on the Planet falls to the floor, hit by the CEO's fire.

XO_Farrel says:
COMM: Rovero:  Well you came just in time...there's a Breen heavy cruiser heading right for us.... ::looking at his pips:: commander...?

CTO_Peters says:
@::Head hits the floor as the Breen falls.::

CEO_Russel says:
@::Heads out of the stairs' alcove.  Runs over to the CTO.::

XO_Farrel says:
EO/Rien: thank you doctor, send this information to the away team on a comm as hidden as possible...

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
#COMM Artemis : Commander.. ::looks down:: Farrel, is it? ::smiles:: Don't worry about the cruiser.. Just worry about that base...

CTO_Peters says:
@::Breathing heavily as she mutters stupid, stupid over and over.::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
EO: Another Breen vessel?

EO_KTor says:
::encodes the information as a transmission to the CEO's tricorder and sends it over an encrypted subspace band::

CEO_Russel says:
@::kneels down next to the CTO.::  CTO:  Are you alright?

EO_KTor says:
CO: Could be sir.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : Down on the planet, the AT's picking up a few Breen closing on their position... The power source is just another level down.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Forehead to the floor:: CEO:  I'm alright.

XO_Farrel says:
::Raises her eyebrows, keeping eye contact, wondering how he knew her name:: COMM: Rovero: We'll need help taking down the base too...

EO_KTor says:
XO: Transmitted sir.

CEO_Russel says:
@::Stands.::  CTO:  Then get up.  Thanks to you, we are left with only one option, take out that power source.

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Good I only hope the away team receives the information before it's too late... ::sighs::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
#COMM Artemis : I just hope that your Away Team is better than your shuttle pilot... Or you'll end up with another two hostages…

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
#::grins::

OPS_Mades says:
::wonders how long they've been watching and why they are only helping now::

Dr_Rien says:
::watches the activity on the bridge with great interest::

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
EO: As soon as it de-cloaks, notify me immediately

CTO_Peters says:
@::Stands up slowly and looks at the CEO and winces and bites her tongue.  Figures she is in enough trouble as it is.::

EO_KTor says:
CO: Yes, sir.

EO_KTor says:
::activates scanners and targets the area around the end of the tachyon trail specifically::

XO_Farrel says:
::the corner of her lip smiles cheekily::  Comm: Rovero: I have every confidence in the abilities of my officers...but we'll need your help to siege the base as soon as possible.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : As the cruiser nears the Artemis, position, a Defiant class ship de-cloaks on its back, and starts firing their cannons at it. It turns around to face the Defiant

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Next time you want to make such a decision, make sure you're in charge first.

OPS_Mades says:
::quietly:: Self: A cloaking device?

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  Sorry sir, just habit...  Aye...

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
#COMM Artemis : Now if you'll Excuse me.. We have work to do.. ::the signal is cut::

CEO_Russel says:
@::Turns and heads towards the next level, making sure the CTO is following.::

EO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, the tachyon stream was the Defiant class ship's signature, not another Breen ship.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : The Breen Ship and the Defiant Class are engaged, and it looks like the Defiant has the upper hand, with its cloaking device

CTO_Peters says:
@::Taking a deep breath, she follows::

XO_Farrel says:
::wonders who that man is...turns her mind back to the bridge::

EO_KTor says:
CO/XO: Sir, the Defiant class ship has engaged the Breen ship and appears to be winning.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : Near the power source, Two Breen stand guard, and take cover as they see the AT approaching

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Seems the odds have turned in our favor, any word from the away team?

OPS_Mades says:
::his curiosity getting to him, attempts to locate either the Defiant vessel or the strange Commander in the database::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Full scan of that defiant class...  I want her name and registry too.

CEO_Russel says:
@::Takes cover.  Fires at the Breen's position, to make sure the CTO has time to find some cover.::::

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Already started.  I don't have a match... yet.

CTO_Peters says:
@::having taken cover begins to return fire.::

EO_KTor says:
XO: They have not reported back, sir.

XO_Farrel says:
Hmm... OPS: Take us in to a safe orbit from the orbital platforms, fire at any that get in our way.

OPS_Mades says:
::his brow wrinkles:: XO: I can't ID the ship.  No registry number, no transponder signal.  It is strange though, the ship is painted black, with a star field painted over that.

OPS_Mades says:
::nods and moves the ship away as he begins to ponder this strange ship::

Dr_Rien says:
XO: Excuse me Commander, may I walk around the bridge? I find this fascinating.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : The Breen return fire...  As the CEO moves his hand to fire, a shoot grazes his arm.

CEO_Russel says:
@Ah!  ::ducks behind his cover.::

XO_Farrel says:
Rien: By all means...but at the first sign of weapons fire, take a seat, as it may get bumpy.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Hears the CEO.:: CEO:  Sir, are you Alright?

Dr_Rien says:
::smiles::  XO: Thank you I'll remember that. ::heads for her little tour::

CEO_Russel says:
@::takes the type 2 phaser from his belt with his unharmed hand.::  CTO:  I'll live.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION :  One of the Breen moves forward, trying to get closer to the AT

CEO_Russel says:
@::programs the phaser for overload, then throws it towards the Breen.::

XO_Farrel says:
::Is getting a bad feeling about the surface...::

Dr_Rien says:
::walks to science and examines the readouts:: Self: Wonderful.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : The Remaining Breen runs out of his cover, as he sees the phaser and hears the shriek

CTO_Peters says:
@::Sees what the CEO has done and starts to inch back for cover.::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Begin firing on the bases shields, phasers and photons if needed, I want the shields disabled but the base as undamaged as possible.  I don’t want to harm our people down there.

Dr_Rien says:
::steps around to tactical and watches from just behind the TAC officer as he punches in data::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : The phaser explodes, catching the two Breen, killing one, and knocking out another.

OPS_Mades says:
XO: Understood.  ::takes up a position to start ground bombardment, avoiding the remaining platforms - begins phaser fire on the base's shield::

Dr_Rien says:
::continues down to the OPS station and bends down beside Mades:: OPS: Mind if I watch a bit?

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : As the Artemis starts firing, the ground shakes down on the planet.

CTO_Peters says:
@::Covers her head in case of falling debris.::

OPS_Mades says:
::smiles at the Doctor:: Rien: Nope, that's fine. 

CEO_Russel says:
@::looks from behind his cover.  Seeing the two Breen down, quickly heads towards the power source, looking out for other hostiles.::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Gets up and begins scanning the area.::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : A few more minutes, and 7 more Breen will be near the AT

CEO_Russel says:
@::looks around the power source for a terminal.::

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  We got some more company coming.

Dr_Rien says:
OPS: Do you enjoy your work?

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Then let's hurry.  ::his right arm is hanging on his side, limp.::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : There is a Terminal, but everything is in Breen.

OPS_Mades says:
::continues the firing on the shield::  Rien:  I love it actually.  It's always fairly exciting up here on the bridge.  Can't think of anything better.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
EO: Status of the Breen vessel?

XO_Farrel says:
COMM: Rovero: Almost finished over there?

EO_KTor says:
::runs quick scans of the Breen ship::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : The Breen cruiser and the Defiant are still At it, and the Artemis gets no response for that message

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  You better find a way to cover me, this will take while to decode.

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  I need to look at that arm, sir.  Hmmm, maybe we can fire on those terminals and just take them out?

Dr_Rien says:
::smiles::  OPS: I can certainly see the excitement aspect of the job.

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Wouldn't do much good if the engineer who built this is any good.

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Status of the base's shields?

OPS_Mades says:
::turns to face Rien a bit::  Rien: Things are always new up here, never the same old dull routine.  Well, take today for example.  I'm flying and manning weapons... never have  a chance to be bored.

CTO_Peters says:
@::As the CEO speaks to grabs the Breen weapons she begins to booby trap the area keeping a close eye one the Breen Movements.::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION :As another Artemis phaser hit's the base shield, the terminal's screen blinks for a second.

CEO_Russel says:
@::Accesses the terminal and using his tricorder and engineering knowledge, tries to disable the power source.::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: They should be more then a match for them...with all those "interesting" modifications

Dr_Rien says:
OPS: Maybe I should have signed onto a ship to do research rather than be stuck in a lab. ::laughs::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : The CEO manages to get inside the system, but security lockdowns prevent the power source from being disconnected.

Dr_Rien says:
OPS: I will leave you to your duties. Thank you for your patience. ::smiles and walks to the back of the bridge::

OPS_Mades says:
Rien:  Definitely the way to go.

EO_KTor says:
CO: Sir, the Breen ship has sustained heavy damage; aft shields almost gone and lateral shields moderately damaged. The Defiant class vessel has suffered very little damage.

EO_KTor says:
CO: The base's shields are holding, sir.

OPS_Mades says:
::nods to Doctor Rien::

CEO_Russel says:
@::Tries to bypass the security lockdowns.::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : A few Breen come up, and take cover, firing on the AT's position

EO_KTor says:
CO/XO: Would you like me to hail the away team sir?

CTO_Peters says:
@::Fires back,  grabbing a rope she tied to one of the Breen weapons, she tugs at it also, so phaser fire coming from different directions.::

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  We are surrounded sir.

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Don't want to risk compromising they're position again..

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
@ACTION : The Breen fall back, but not for long

EO_KTor says:
XO: Yes, sir.

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
OPS: Mr. Mades, open a channel to the wounded Breen vessel

CEO_Russel says:
@CTO:  Do your best to keep them away.

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Use torpedoes...we have to make a dent in that shield...

OPS_Mades says:
CO: Yes, sir.  ::opens the channel::

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  Oh, I am....  ::Continues to fire.::

CEO_Russel says:
@::Bypasses the lockdowns.  Shuts down the power source, and the shields along with it.::

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  Can you put that on self-destruct or something?

EO_KTor says:
XO: Sir, I recommend against using torpedoes. They may cause major seismic disturbances.

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : As the shield goes down, an Artemis phaser blast hits one of the compounds, and it explodes scattering shrapnel everywhere.

EO_KTor says:
::double-checks some readouts from the scanners::

XO_Farrel says:
EO: Very well  OPS: Stick to phaser fire....

EO_KTor says:
XO/CO: Sir, the base's shields are completely down!

Host CO_McPherson-Quest says:
COMM: Breen Vessel: This is Capt. Ewan McPherson-Quest of the USS Artemis, lower what’s left of your shields and surrender

OPS_Mades says:
::turns around:: XO: I have to agree, could be... ::stops as he hears the explosion via his console::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION :The Artemis can fully scan the base, Including the AT's signs as well as the Scientists ones..

EO_KTor says:
::quickly scans for the away team and the remaining hostage::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Beam dr. Nada aboard!

CEO_Russel says:
@Yes!  CTO:  Power is down!

EO_KTor says:
::upon finding the hostage's life signs, transfers coordinates to OPS::

XO_Farrel says:
OPS: Followed by the away team...and I want our tri-lithium back too

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : The Breen cruiser doesn't seem to acknowledge the Artemis. The Defiant class is still pounding the Breen ship, who is growing weaker by the moment.

CEO_Russel says:
@::looks up as the lights flicker off.::

CTO_Peters says:
@CEO:  Yes!

OPS_Mades says:
::starts the series of transports::

EO_KTor says:
::starts scanning to find the tri-lithium::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : A few Breen Move in on the AT, and the phaser fire becomes intense on the AT

Dr_Rien says:
::watches the explosion on the view screen, showing up as brig red flashes:: Self: I hope Dr. Nada is alright.

EO_KTor says:
OPS/CO/XO: The away team is encountering heavy fire.

XO_Farrel says:
::Winces as the compound is hit:: Self: oops...

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : As the Breen Cruiser explodes, The Defiant moves out, and cloaks again...

CEO_Russel says:
@::Goes down to a crouch.::

CTO_Peters says:
@::Pulls out one of her knives and throws it at the nearest Breen::

Host Cmdr_Rovero says:
ACTION : The AT, along with the scientist is beamed up to the Artemis' TR pad
