CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::antennae perk up at sound of CIV::
CNS_Bauer says:
::Blushes at Grey's comment:: CIV: Now is not the time, Miss Grey ...I, at least am on duty.
XO_Taal says:
::Feels the turbolift move towards their destination::
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: I could use your help though, and then later, maybe we could get a bite to eat?
CO_Shras says:
:: walks out the TL as soon as the doors opens and to the transporter room and the transporter pad, barely looking at the crewmen at the station ::
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: ...after the emergency situation is resolved, of course.
 XO_Taal says:
::follows the CO to the transporter pad::

CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::continues monitoring sensors and listening to the CIV::
CO_Shras says:
TRC: Synchronize with the Hrdina and energize when ready
TRC_Tr`nsport says:
CO: Yes, sir. Energizing now.
CIV_Azanna says:
::Settles down in the chair and looks over the console. Cracks her knuckles and gets to work::

ACTION: THE CAPTAIN AND COMMANDER TAAL ARE TRANSPORTED TO THE USS HRDINA.

CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: Keep us out of everyone's way.
XO_Taal says:
@::materializes on the Hrdina::
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CNS: Your allowing a non-Starfleet officer to pilot this vessel?
CNS_Bauer says:
OPS: Coordinate with the Starbase..offer our assistance....see where we can do the most good.
CIV_Azanna says:
::nods:: CNS: Of courrrse.
CO_Shras says:
@::walk to the admiral's office ::
XO_Taal says:
@::follows the Captain::
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: ALL: Hopefully the casualties were minimal over there ::Looks at SB245 on view screen::
CO_Shras says:
@XO: I don't what will be our next orders but I would like to pursue those Orions pirates and give them some of their own medicine
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks at the viewscreen and knows that scene all too well.::
XO_Taal says:
@CO: I agree, they must be brought to justice. ::arrives at the Admiral's office::
CNS_Bauer says:
ALL: I'd really like to settle a few things with the Orions about now.
CO_Shras says:
@:: push the admiral's door chime and wait ::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@ALL: Enter!
CIV_Azanna says:
::flicks an ear towards the CNS:: Self: Oh, kid if you only knew..
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: What's your take on this? Is this just Orion revenge for our busting up their cloning gig?
CIV_Azanna says:
CNS: What makes you think I would know?
CNS_Bauer says:
::Smiles:: CIV: I thought you knew everything.
CIV_Azanna says:
CNS: Well yeah..
CO_Shras says:
@:: enter the room ::
XO_Taal says:
@::follows the Captain inside the office::
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CNS: The Orions are nothing more than petty thieves.  They want something.
CNS_Bauer says:
OPS: Did you contact the Starbase about offering our assistance? Can you get us a casualty report from the Starbase?
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Captain Shras, shame we have to work under these circumstances.
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: What do you think they wanted from the Starbase?
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@XO: Commander Taal...
XO_Taal says:
@ADM: Admiral.
CO_Shras says:
@ADM: Indeed sir
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: I'll get to the point, Captain.
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CNS: I don't know, but it must have been valuable.  They wouldn't waste their time with anything less.
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: Not even just revenge?
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: We believe the Orions have been planning retaliation for our closure of their cloning facility in Cardassian space for some time.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: This attack was well organized and well timed.
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CNS: I personally don't think they would waste their time with revenge.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: If it wasn't for a training exercise in the next sector, the devastation here would be irreparable.
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: Do you agree with Ensign Quinnis, Miss Grey?
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::turns toward the CIV::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Captain, we've lost a lot of good men and women during this attack.
CIV_Azanna says:
CNS: I don't rrreally know why the Syndicate does what they do. I'm just a humble bounty hunterrr.
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Self: Humble my eye.
CNS_Bauer says:
ALL: Well, I got to know the Orion people real well recently. They seem to enjoy taking revenge out on my face. They really seem to enjoy it. I'd say they would do this just for spite and for entertainment.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Most notably, Captain Irene Hipce.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Looks at Grey disbelievingly::
OPS_Lt_Williams says:
::at helm of USS Vigilant, maintaining position::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: That leaves her ship Captainless and in need of experienced crew... ::stands up and presents Shras with a PADD::
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::returns attention to Tactical::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Captain, I hereby place you in Command of the USS Charlottetown.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: These are the command codes you will require.
CO_Shras says:
@ADM: Thank you sir, hope I'll measure to your expectations
CNS_Bauer says:
OPS: You get through to the Starbase yet?
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: I have no doubt, Captain.
CO_Shras says:
@ADM: Is the entire current crew of the Vigilant being transferred?
CIV_Azanna says:
::breathes a slight sigh of relief::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: The crew who survived the destruction of the Geneva will be assigned to the Charlottetown.
OPS_Lt_Williams says:
CNS: Trying, sir. Will let you know soon.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Goes over to where Grey is and leans towards her and whispers:: CIV: You see, I want revenge too. On the Orions. I was hoping you would be willing to help me with that. Was I wrong? Cuz I CAN do it alone.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: In addition, to the loss of Captain Hipce, we also lost many good Starbase personnel... including Commander McCaul.
CIV_Azanna says:
::gulps:: CNS: I know what you mean, but it's not easy to just turrrn tail. ::whispers::
CNS_Bauer says:
OPS: Yes let me know when you got them. Maybe get a damage report to the Starbase?
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@XO: Commander Taal? I hereby promote you to the rank of Captain and place you in command of Starbase 245 and the USS Vigilant.
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: The line has been drawn, Grey. It's time to pick a side.
XO_Taal says:
@::looks over at the Captain::
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CNS: And what you're proposing Commander is against the law.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: I hope you don't mind, Captain. However, we are a little shorthanded at the moment.
CIV_Azanna says:
CNS: Therrre's only one way to leave the Orrions, and that's in a torrpedo casing.
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: You're either with us or against us. I wanna know which. ::Still maintaining a whisper but, just bearly::
CO_Shras says:
@ADM: I won't argue with a superior, Commander, I mean Captain Taal, is quite capable and he will do a terrific job , but I do feel I'm loosing my right arm, literally...
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::stands up:: CNS: Commander!  What you're proposing to Grey is against Federation law.
CIV_Azanna says:
CNS: Zach....I...
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: I told you it wasn't going to be easy. I also told you, you have friends here....if you want them and...if you are a friend in return.
XO_Taal says:
@ADM: Thank you, Admiral.
CNS_Bauer says:
CIV: Choices Grey. The time is now....think of your kids.  ::Gets up and walks back to the Command chair::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Starfleet Intelligence believes the attack was organized within Federation space.
OPS_Lt_Williams says:
CNS: Sir, I have COM with SB245, but the signal is weak.....they maybe using a backup transmitter.
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CNS: My hearing is better than you realize.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: With that being said, we also have intelligence which confirms no Orion ships have exited Federation space.
CNS_Bauer says:
OPS: Offer assistance. What do they need? See if we can get a casualty report and damages....and....find out the condition of the Medical area of the Starbase, please.
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
CNS: Commander, have you not heard me?
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: I have already sent 5 ships to search for the Orion vessels, however, this is top priority for Starfleet. Your orders are to find the Orions responsible for this attack and bring them into custody.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: If they refuse to be placed in custody, then you are authorized to use whatever means to ensure they do not escape.
OPS_Lt_Williams says:
CNS:Yes, sir. ::opens channel and begins asking SB245 for the required information, so I can report back to Commander Bauer::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@::turns to Captain Taal::
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: Tend to your duties, Ensign.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@XO: Captain, you have a long road ahead of you. You are to coordinate repair and rescue efforts in the area. Use whatever resource you require. More rescue vessels are on the way, so rest assured, conditions will improve.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO/XO: Do either of you have any questions?
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::sits back down, but records all events heard onto a PADD::
CO_Shras says:
@ADM: No sir, we will drop Captain Taal and his belonging to SB245 and be on our way
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
Self: The Captain will know of this.
CIV_Azanna says:
::looks over at the OPS, then taps on a small PADD strapped to her wrist::
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Very well...
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Also, one more thing... ::hands Shras another PADD::
CTO_Ens_Quinnis says:
::cotinues to scan for Orion vessels::
CO_Shras says:
@:: takes the PADD ::
CO_Shras says:
@:: looks at it ::
CO_Shras says:
@ADM: Is that all admiral?
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO: Yes, of course.
Host ADM_Weaver says:
@CO/XO: You're both dismissed.
OPS_Lt_Williams says:
CNS: Sir, Medical is reported as operational, damage to the station is mainly external, casualties are numerous but the majority are not life threatening.
CO_Shras says:
@:: head back to the Hrdina transporter room::
CNS_Bauer says:
OPS: Thank you, Lieutenant. There is at least some good news there. What about assistance. Surely they need help. Maybe some TAC people to help with search and rescue?
XO_Taal says:
@::follows the Captain::
CO_Shras says:
@XO: I really meant what I said to Admiral Weaver....
CNS_Bauer says:
OPS: I've already sent Medical Personnel. I just feel the need to help more, here.
XO_Taal says:
@CO: I know.
OPS_Lt_Williams says:
CNS: I believe TAC teams it would be appreciated, sir.
CNS_Bauer says:
CTO: As per your comments, Ensign....I will note your objections in the ship's log.
CO_Shras says:
@XO: On the other hand it is about time you get your own command
CO_Shras says:
@XO: So congratulations, I am grateful I could count on you for that long
XO_Taal says:
@CO: I always believed I would one day be Captain of the Geneva.
XO_Taal says:
@CO: It is unfortunate I will never get that chance. It was an honour, Captain.
CNS_Bauer says:
::Thinks- Could really use a Rootbeer::
CO_Shras says:
@XO: I also regret not leaving the Geneva to you or another captain like my predecessors did but in our duties we face many dangers, even if we command a Starbase, remember that Captain
OPS_Lt_Williams says:
:waits for the CO to return, with news of our next assignment::
CO_Shras says:
@XO: I'm also glad we will see each other from time to time, every time we will get back to SB245
CO_Shras says:
@:: enters the room and get to the transporter floor ::
CO_Shras says:
@TRC: Back to the USS Vigilant please
