::readies weapon, looks back at Wren to see his vitals are about normal::

	In several places along the corridor, the crew can see that the emblem of the Romulan Empire has been scratched out, in its place a 	black banner now stands.  It is becoming more and more obvious that this is a genuine pirate vessel.

Host AMB_S`lia says:
ROPS: Have we received our next orders?  ::thinks they have kept us out here for too long::
Host CO_Hebert says:

Host AMB_S`lia says:
ROPS: Excellent, notify the extraction team.  I want to be underway as soon as possible.
CTO_Hunter says:
:: Looks to the CO for orders ::

	A group of off duty Romulans come around the corner, and nearly run right into Captain Hebert, they pull disruptors...

Host CO_Hebert says:
:: takes a close range shot then ducks back around the coridor ::
EO_Fixit says:

<Rom1>::sees the federation officers and fires his diruptor at the closest officer::
EO_Fixit says:
::fires his rifle at the group of romulans::

	The Romulan's fan out, one of them runs back, presumably to gather re-enforcements or alert the bridge.... On the bridge the Romulan 	TAC notices phaser and disruptor fire on a lower deck and dutifully informs his commander...

CTO_Hunter says:

CSO: I need scans of this area now.
EO_Fixit says:
::fires once again at the romulan running away and leaps behind a bulkhead and awaits orders::
Host AMB_S`lia says:
RTAC: Signal alert, All officers are to fire on sight of intruders.

ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::does a round kick on the ground and stun Rom2 or somebody::
CMO-Kriss says:

	Alarms blare all over the warbird,  looks like the jig is up.

CEO_MacLEOD says:
::nods::CNS:  Sounds like our cover is blow to hell.
CSO_Daan says:
CO: Sir the engineering area is straight ahead.
OPS_Ferguson says:
::hears the alarms::  CO:  Now what
Host CO_Hebert says:
CTO:  Get me a solution, Mr. Hunter, you and Mr. Vaneer go around the coridor and flank, Mr. Fixit, get up here!
CNS_Lynix says:
CEO: fine! we fire fight there! lets go! 
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: fires a couple of covering shots ::
CTO_Hunter says:
:: Sets phaser riffle to wide stun and fires at the romulans ::

The Romulan's opposing the Starfleet Group begin to fall back towards engineering,  Captain Hebert's dislocated shoulder is caught with a grazing blast, sending him to the ground in pain.

CEO_MacLEOD says:
CNS: Lets do it!
EO_Fixit says:
::ducks disruptor fire and gets behind the CO::CO:what do you need sir?

	The starfleet group can hear more romulans coming up behind them, getting closer, cutting off retreat

CSO_Daan says:
:: rifle ready to fire::
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::nods to CNS::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Moves toward Engineering and fire phaser::
EO_Fixit says:
::quickly grabs the CO and pulls him back behind the bulkhead::
<RSec> ::smiles as she sees thier captain fall, takes carefull aim at his exposed form and prepares to fire::
CMO-Kriss ::makes way to CO, Gives hypo to stop bleeding and to liven him up:: (Hypospray.wav)
CTO_Hunter says:
:: Turns around and readying to fire ::
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: awakes in heavy pain ::
all:  :: screams in pain ::  Move Forward, Get into Engineering now!
CNS_Lynix says:
::enters engineering ans starts stunning the crew members::

	RSEC is tossed across the room by a phaser blast, slamming against a bulkhead, just before she can pull the trigger

CEO_MacLEOD says:
::bringa phaser rifle to firing position::
Host AMB_S`lia says:
RTac:  I want them dead, there is no room for error here... there is too much at stake!
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Fires at any Romulan Sec...::
Host CO_Hebert says:

CMO-Kriss says:
CO: it doesn't look to bad.  ::trying to lie with feeling eventhough part of the shoulder is gone.::

A Stray phaser blast hits one of the power control units in engineering, the Romulan's loose internal sensors...

CNS_Lynix says:
CEO: this is your turf! find the main conrtols!
CSO_Daan says:
::fires at the romulan ahead::
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: uses his only good arm left and takes more shots while starting to move forward again, but with a limping motion ::
OPS_Ferguson says:
::moves with her crew towards ENG::
EO_Fixit says:
::pulls one of his grenades and throws it in the direction of the romulan security officers::
CTO_Hunter says:
:: throws a photon charnge down the hall to the rear ::
CSO_Daan says:
ALL: There Internal sensors are down!
CEO_MacLEOD says:
CNS:  I'm on it.  ::cuts through some Romulians on his way to what looks like the main power distribution net::
OPS_Ferguson says:
::gets hit in the leg as she is firing more shots::
CNS_Lynix says:
::jumps behind a console and fires at the guards entering to room::
<RSec> ::collapses against the bulkhead, blood pouring from her head::
Host CO_Hebert says:
ALL:  Good, I want a full frontal assault, in a defensive manner, everyone... Engineering is right around this coridor turn!

	A Massive explosion rocks the room as the EO's photon grenade explodes, everyone is momentarily disoriented, and their is some 	systems damage.

CEO_MacLEOD says:
::reaches counsole, looks over a maze of displays and readouts::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Walks toward Engineering::
CSO_Daan says:
:: goes up front and throws a grenade at the on coming Romulans::
OPS_Ferguson says:
::limps her fastest speed to get to ENG::
CNS_Lynix says:
CEO: your covered! do it! ::fires again::
CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Aye sir.
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::nails a Romulian with the butt of rifle::  CNS:  All-right, time for a little power failure.
CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: give me a scan of whats behind that door.
CSO_Daan says:
:: scans::
CNS_Lynix says:
::fires again:: CEO: anytime is good !!
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: is at the door, Opens the ME door and tosses two live sonic granades ::
Host AMB_S`lia says:
REng: Get those sensors up! This is not the time for us to be operating blindly
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::punches buttons and flips switches, notices reactor surge and wine::
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: In the doors and steps out the way ::
CSO_Daan says:
CTO: Engineering.
Host AMB_S`lia says:
RTac: What was their last known location?
Host CO_Hebert says:
all:  Ok, I want two of you to go left once to go in, and two right?  Ready?
CEO_MacLEOD says:
Self:  No, that wasn't it.
CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: how many romulans are there?

	RSec officers in engineering are deafened by the grenades, one collapses, but their superior romulan pysiology prevents greater 	damage from being done.

CSO_Daan says:
ALL: READY!
OPS_Ferguson says:
CO:  Ready
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::works some more controls::
<RTac> S'lia: outside of engineering, Commander.
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Walks towards the door::
CTO_Hunter says:
:: takes look behind him to make sure the way is clear. ::
Host CO_Hebert says:
All:  Now!  :: as he enters the door and dives right, he tosses a phton granade near some panaling near the core consoles ::
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::reactor output appears to drop::  CNS:  I think I've got it.
OPS_Ferguson says:
::goes in to the right::
CSO_Daan says:
:: fires as he runs in engineering::

	The Federation contingent has penetrated engineering, unfortunately the Security Group that came up behind them is now within range 	and fireing, a stray shot hits one of the main power control centers and the entire ship shudders momentarily as power is blacked out.

<RSec>::Lunges at ATO Malcom, knocking him to the floor::
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: right arm is pounding very hard and he rolls behind a console firing rifles phaser shots until his phaser starts to lose power ::
CTO_Hunter says:
:: Enters the door way tossing a phton charge as he dives to the left ::
CNS_Lynix says:
::adjust to the dark:: self: My turn! he!
EO_Fixit says:
::heads right ducking the disruptor fire::
OPS_Ferguson says:
::fires her rifle at the Romulans::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Does a roundhouse kick on RSec while on the floor::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Knocks the RSec on the floor and stuns him with phasers::
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: pulls out a light flare from his pack and pulls the end off throwing it in the center of engineering ::
CSO_Daan says:
:: sees ATO getting thrown and helps him by beat the Romulan::
CNS_Lynix says:
::jumps the consoel and tears into the romulan while they are stunned:
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::opens fire on two Romulians getting a little too close::
<RSec> ::wraps arm around the ATO's neck and holds him down::
CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: scan the area tell me how many romulans are in here with us.
Host CO_Hebert says:
ALL:  Eveyrone inside of ME, and seal them doors shut, so they come in this way!

	The Romulan Security forces are being cut down, but by now most of the Federation Forces are showing injuries, minor wounds burns and 	gashes that are definately going to leave scars.

CSO_Daan says:
::scans::
OPS_Ferguson says:
::sees a Romulan coming toward her so she fires::
CNS_Lynix says:
::strikes one in the head with fist and another with riffle butt::
EO_Fixit says:
::sees the RSec chokeing the ATO and fires his phaser at him::
CSO_Daan says:
CTO: 13 Romulans.
<RSec> ::collapses onto the ATO, unconscious::
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: tosses his phaser since its empty and pulls out another phaser with another photon granade ::
CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Where!?
CNS_Lynix says:
::growls as she bites one in the shoulder::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Feels a bit brutal but push aside that thought::
CSO_Daan says:
CTO: Outside the door.

	ATO is having severe troubles breathing, scars from the romulan security officer marking his throat and windpipe

Host AMB_S`lia says:
REng: What is going on here!
CTO_Hunter says:
:: Takes a few pop shoot then takes cover ::
OPS_Ferguson says:
::fires as she is pushing her way through::
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: crawls around the console and sees a group of Romulans behind a door ::
:: tosses a phton grande above them and lands it right on the console above their head ::
CNS_Lynix says:
::strikes him down and takes the moment to reach the master control station::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Grasp for air... pulls the collar of his uniform to cover his throat::
EO_Fixit says:
::heads to a console and attempts to seal engineering::
Host CO_Hebert says:
all:  Ok, once that door is sealed, I want these people out of engineering, ready, full assault?  :: says it just enough to be heard of the phaser fire ::

	A Massive explosion rocks engineering, the CO's last grenade punctured a plasma tank and it is slowly seeping down towards the floor, 	several romulan security officers scream in pain as they are engulfed

CEO_MacLEOD says:
::Takes aim on a Romulian, who quickly grabs rifle and twists it out of my hands, snaping my wrist::
<REO>:: peeps from behind a console and fires into the federation group::
CNS_Lynix says:
EO: do you have transporter control?
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Managed to whisper a "help"::
CSO_Daan says:
::sees the door panal and shoots at it so it can be sealed::
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::falls to deck in pain, as Romulian takes aim with my weapon, as I hit the deck, I kick the Romulian's feet out from under him, he falls to the deck and fires a shot at the celing

	CEO drops to ground in pain, bones from wrist smashed and sticking out, very unpleasant

CSO_Daan says:
CO: The door is seal but 5 Romulans are still in here!
CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: scan the area are there any romulans left in here with us?
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: sees the rumble and takes careful aim on the romulan grapling MacLeod, and he fires in the direction ::
EO_Fixit says:
CNS: I don't have much control over anything at the moment, ::sees the plasma and climbs up to the upper level and continues his efforts from there::
CMO-Kriss says:
::Hears a slight whisper for help, heads in that direction::
CSO_Daan says:
CTO: Yes, 5!
CNS_Lynix says:
::sees the CEO and rage fills eyes .. jump the romulan and breaks his neck::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Fires a random phaser fire while falling to the ground::
CSO_Daan says:
:: sees 2 Romulans coming toward me and fires rifle::
CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Where are they?
CNS_Lynix says:
::drops the limp romulan to the floor:: CEO: you ok?
EO_Fixit says:
::gets to one of the panels and tires to seal off that plasma leak::
Host AMB_S`lia says:
RTac:  Get your people down there! I want control of this ship secured in our hands! 
CSO_Daan says:
::scans::
Host CO_Hebert says:
all:  Ready? :: notices that the back entrence into Engineering has been sealed ::
Full frontal assault!
CEO_MacLEOD says:
holds wrist, grimaces in pail as I slowly get up::  CNS:  Just a little brake, I'll be fine.
OPS_Ferguson says:
::she fires at the Romulans who are coming toward her::  Rom:  That is for my Grandmother
CMO-Kriss ::gives hypo to ATO:: (Hypospray.wav)
CSO_Daan says:
CTO: By the door.

	The Remaining RSEC's flee Engineering as the deadly plasma filters down, in a very few minutes it will have reached the main level 	where the starfleet officers are.

Host CO_Hebert says:
:: swings to the left and dives by another console popping up to take three more shots ::
CNS_Lynix says:
::growls and returns to the console:: All: we got a problem!
<REO>::Screams in pain and lunges at one of the federation officers as the plasma reaches her::
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::looks at wrist, feels a little nausous, almost passes out::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:
::Becomes unconcious::
CSO_Daan says:
CO: We need to get out of this room!
Host CO_Hebert says:
all:  Ok, I need Mr. MacLeod, here now!  I need you to get some kind of enviromental syste to clear this stuff!  Mr. Fixit, you to.
	
	The REO grabs onto the CNS in a lunge, carrying some plasma coolant with her, the CNS screams in pain as her skin is burned

CNS_Lynix says:
ALL: the plasma leak is almost here! we got to scootnow!
CMO-Kriss says:
::Repairs throat of ATO::
Host CO_Hebert says:
CSO: Understood, but I want to make sure they can't stop us, I am not leaving here until I know they can't take this place back.
OPS_Ferguson says:
::sees the plasma and prepares to leave the room::
CNS_Lynix says:
argh! ::claws dig into the romulan and rip her off::
CSO_Daan says:
CO: Then i am staying too!
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::moves slugishly over to the CO::  CO: Captain?
CMO-Kriss says:
Anyone, We need to move the ATO out of the Plasma that is filling engineering.
EO_Fixit says:
CO:Already on it sir ::continues trying to seal the leak::
<REO>::falls to the floor as the plasma overtakes her::
OPS_Ferguson says:
CMO:  I'll help
CSO_Daan says:
CMO: I will get him out!
CNS_Lynix says:
::is really mad now::
CMO-Kriss says:
CEO: You ok?
CSO_Daan says:
OPS: Give me a hand!
CMO-Kriss says:
CO: How is your shoulder?

	The plasma leak slows, however it is still present, they have bought some time...

Host CO_Hebert says:
All:  Nevermind, prepare to leave ME, I want three sets of phton charges placed around ALL entrences into this place... be ready to move out on the way to the bridge.
CEO_MacLEOD says:
::holds up wrist to CMO::  CMO: Can you patch this?
CSO_Daan says:
::drags ATO out of the room behind a bulkhead::
Host CO_Hebert says:
CMO:  See what you can do... quickly, won't take them long to regroup.

	The ATO regains conciousness, he's weak but not permanently damaged

CNS_Lynix says:
::growls and holds bare spot on side::
Host AMB_S`lia says:
::Drags the tac officer from his station:: RTAC: You get down there with your men or die here as a coward!
CEO_MacLEOD says:
CMO:  Ahhh!  It hurts Doc, real bad.
EO_Fixit says:
Co: I've tried everything i can think of and at best I've slowed the leak, estimate we ahve a couple extra minutes
Host CO_Hebert says:
:: turns and bites his lips after dishing out orders from all the pain he has not letting his crew see him falter ::
OPS_Ferguson says:
::sees the ATO being pulled to safety::
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:

CMO-Kriss CEO:  Oh, a little boo boo, Here this will help.  ::administers a healing scan:: (Hypospray.wav)
OPS_Ferguson says:
CO:  Now what should we do?  ::as she is limping towards him::
Host CO_Hebert says:
CTO:  Get us ready, reload us back up and prep to get out.
CNS_Lynix says:
::surves the room::
CSO_Daan says:
:: Sets some more photon gernades::
EO_Fixit says:
::makes sure the charges are ready: CO: We are set sir
CEO_MacLEOD says:

Host CO_Hebert says:
All:  This is quick I know, regroup, standard echolon formation, prepare to move out of engineering, Mr. Fixit, I want you to stay in here as long as you can an do whatever damage to all systems in engineering to benefit us you can.
<RTAC> ::Screams as he is vapourized, his hands still wrapped around S'Lia's wrists, tendrils of energy shoot up her arms as the disruptor begins burning her flesh::

	As the ship slowly regains emergency power, the science console indicates the presence of an explosive at a nearby asteriod, the one 	that contains the pirate base.  It would appear that the pirates had intended to have the hostages off of the rock by now, and were going 	to leave no trace of their presence.

Host CO_Hebert says:
:: feels the pain medicine take effect and everything gets dark as he passes out on the floor ::
CEO_MacLEOD says:

Host CO_Hebert says:
all:  I need someone to find those hostages, immediately.
EO_Fixit says:
*CEO*: it should hopefully hold until we get home

	The Asteriod appears to be on a buildup to explosion, and the hostages life signs are registering clearly as being on said asteroid...

CMO-Kriss says:
The Captian is unconsious, I need help with carrying him.
CEO_MacLEOD says:
EO:  Reactor output is neutralized, it'll hold.  Good work Fixit.
OPS_Ferguson says:
::she makes her way over to the captain::  CO:  Captain, there are two over there  ::motions behind her::
CTO_Hunter says:
CSO: Scan for the hostages and get whatever information you can from there computers.

CSO_Daan says:
::goes over to a consule::
Host CO_Hebert says:
CSO:  Get there position.
OPS:  See if you can muster this ship to move closer to that asteroid.
EO_Fixit says:
CEO: just a normal day at the office huh Sir?
CMO-Kriss says:
::sees that he is consious now::
OPS_Ferguson says:
CO:  I'll try

	The Asteriod is an estimated 1.5 minutes to critical, the resulting explosion will destroy everything in this sector, includeing the Black 	Dawn if they dont get a move on.

CEO_MacLEOD says:
EO:  Oh yeah, sure.
CSO_Daan says:
CO: Aye sir
ATO_Lt_Malcom says:

Host CO_Hebert says:
:: presses the Warp button and turns the ship towards the newutral zone ::

	The wave hits the Black Dawn, tossing it forward, just as the ship leaps to warp, rapidly outdistancing the wave.

CEO_MacLEOD says:
EO:  Lets see if we can tweak the warp field profile, maybe we can squeeze a few more cochranes out of this tub.
Host CO_Hebert says:
