All : Please, sit down

CMO_Senn says:

XOBryant says:
ADM: well sir, I am sure that we are all just as anxious to make it go away and I have a sneaking suspicion that’s what we are here to talk about!

All : As i have told you, three Vor'cha class cruiser will assist us in this attack..

CSO_MacMe says:
*CEO*: Copy that, I'll start the diagnostic in just a moment.

CSO_MacMe says:
FCO: What do you have?

XOBryant says:
ADM: sir are the attatched to your strike force or operating independently?

CEO_Vrayl says:

All : Here's the plan..

CSO_MacMe says:
::While waiting on the FCO's reply, programs in the shield diagnostics::  FCO: Weak spot?

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : One of the Vor'Cha cruiser will approach the station, cloaked.

CMO_Senn says:
Keyen: And the other two?

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : He will deliver a commando team to the station, using the breach on the shields of the station your scanners detected..

Dom_Base says:
@::notes with some satisfaction that the defensive grid for the station is being powered up for preliminary testing::

Host Adm_Keyen says:
CMO : Hold on.. I will get there

FCO_Joe says:
::points to the area::CSO: This spot is where the shields are the weakest, a blitzgere attack might do it

CMO_Senn says:
::suppresses a smile at the thought of a Klingon commando team and nods to the admiral::

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : While this cruiser is approaching the station, The Artemis will also approach the station, alone.

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : Hopefully the station's escorts will engage the Artemis.

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : At that time, you will allow the escorts to pursue you to these coordinates.

Host CO_Ross says:
Keyen: Sir?

CSO_MacMe says:
FCO: OK, well, run it past the CTO.  Tactics is his specialty.

CMO_Senn says:
::her expression changes to a worried one, thinking about the casualties they are sure to get::

CEO_Vrayl says:
::goes to another panel, checks on Auxiliary Engineering::

Host CO_Ross says:
::Looks at the PADD, nods his head:: Aye Sir!

XOBryant says:
::::Grins and ADM: sir, if we don't get engaged by a sufficient number of the escorts can we raise a little mayhem to get their attention?

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : There, the rest of the battle group will ambush the escorts.

Host CO_Ross says:
Keyen:  Very well Sir!

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : Meanwhile, at the same time we engage the escorts, the Vor'Cha class close to the station will decloak, and clean any traces of resisting ships.

CSO_MacMe says:
::Noting the shield diagnostics, compares data with the simulations based on the Star Fleet data.  It looks odd, but it ought to hold together.:: *CEO*: Shield diagnostics are complete.  It compares well with our simulations.

CMO_Senn says:
Admiral: With all due respect, I think it's putting the Artemis into too much danger, sir. We may not make it to the coordinates.

CEO_Vrayl says:
*CSO*: So noted. Auxiliaries are on standby.

Host CO_Ross says:
Keyen: Sir, then we are securing the station, correct?

FCO_Joe says:
CTO: Permission to show data regarding the Dominion base

XOBryant says:
CMO: I don't think that you have enough faith in your crew doctor, we will make it.

Host Adm_Keyen says:
CMO : Miss... Senn, The Galor class ships cannot match your speed.. But i want you to travel slowly, so the other ships will think they can catch you...

CSS_Ruk says:
@::begins a slow turn at the shallow galactic south end of the patrol perimeter with its wingmen following suit::

CTOFenrir says:
FCO: Of course

CMO_Senn says:
::turns to the XO, about to argue the point that the odds are definitely against them, but shuts it::

Host Adm_Keyen says:
CMO : It is risky, but i think you will be alright..

AEnsKayan says:
::Watches the various ships on the view screen wondering what the plans were for them::

CSS_Warli says:
@::loses interest in the minor sensor anomaly and begins to move off again at Full Impulse::

Host Adm_Keyen says:
CO : Correct.. We will only secure the station long enough to retrieve the commandos and blow up the station.. These commandos are demolition experts

XOBryant says:
Kenyan: sir I think that we should at least engage the enemy in the vicinity of the station so that they think that they damaged us so that there is a chance of catching us.

CMO_Senn says:
Admiral: If you *think* it's all right... ::raises an eyebrow almost imperceptibly::

XOBryant says:
::::Looks at the CMO::::

Host Adm_Keyen says:
All : Anything else?

Host CO_Ross says:
::looks over at the XO:  XO: How about it Cody?, think the Artemis can pull it off?

XOBryant says:
CO: sir there is no doubt in my mind.

FCO_Joe says:
::hands the CTO the PADD: CTO: I found a weak spot on the base, if we hit that spot good

Host CO_Ross says:
CMO: Doctor, questions?

CEO_Vrayl says:
::frowns at a warp diagnostic...the Artemis is only capable of Warp 9.974 now....::

XOBryant says:
CO: we have a good ship and a better crew, we can do it.

FCO_Joe says:
CTO: We should be able to disable it

Host Adm_Keyen says:
CO : Also, Captain, i have a favor to ask...

CMO_Senn says:
CO: No, sir... sickbay is ready for whatever is to come. If you have a moment, I'd like to talk to you in private as soon as you have a minute.

CEO_Vrayl says:
::starts working to get that .001 back::

Host CO_Ross says:
Keyen: Sir

CTOFenrir says:
::Looks over the PADD::  FCO: Yes, excellent, we'll pass this onto the captain when he gets back

XOBryant says:
ADM Kenyan: sir?  would you happen to have the com frequency's of the Klingon's so that we can get a little help if we need it?

FCO_Joe says:
CTO: Thank you

Host Adm_Keyen says:
CO : The commando team's medic has fallen ill, and we'd like one of your medical officers to fill in..

Host CO_Ross says:
CMO; Your best judgement, I will leave it up to you, have your MO transport over with the Admiral when he departs

CO : Also, we need a science officer.. We want to download as much information as we can from the station's core before we need to destroy it...
