Host Jules says:
When last we left the intrepid crew of Avalon, their station along with their Captain had disappeared.

Host Jules says:
As they made their way back to the last known location of Avalon, 3 Romulan Bird of Prey had decloaked.

Host Jules says:
Will they get their station back?  Will they get their Captain back?  Will they survive the Romulan's?

Host Jules says:
Let's find out.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
TO: See if you can raise the station.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
OPS: Contact the Tuleft and tell them they can come home.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
CMO:  Judging by the residual ionization, I'd say some kind of cloaking technology, a localized sub-space distortion field.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
<OPS> Aye, calling them now

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
<TO_Smith>  ::sends hail to Avalon::

ADM_Taylor says:

Host RAdm_Serok says:
<Station OPS>  COM: Hydra:  You're clear for docking Commander.  Come on home.

CSO_Ens_Hawkes says:
CMO:  Yes ma'am.  I looks like a similar phase distortion used by this bad guy

Host CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
Station OPS: COM: Thank you Avalon, its good to be home.

Host CMO_Cmdr_Slater says:
