Deep Space 102 - 10707.13

"Into the Breach"

Previously on DS102:

The crew on the USS Scorpius has captured an Avatar vessel and an avatar pilot, who has been less than cooperative

Dy'ybylys has obtained and communicated that the Avatar fleet is a rogue element and has also gained their location through the artificial wormhole in the Delta Quadrant.

It has been an hour or so since that "interrogation" and the crew of the Scorpius has been researching and devising a plan to deal with the threat of Avatar invasion more conclusively than simply using antimatter charges to collapse their artificial wormholes.

The crew is still researching, looking at Avatar technology, or generally learning as much as they can about this serious threat to Federation security.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::on the bridge in the big chair::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Standing at the Operations Station on the Bridge of the Scorpius monitoring the communication channels and awaiting a shuttle carrying the new Flight Control Officer::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: on the bridge in his chair, ready the duty rosters and other reports ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::in engineering, making adjustments to the ship's systems to prepare for battle::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::sitting in a shuttle, approaching Scorpius:: COM: Scorpius: USS Scorpius, this is Ensign Tyler, your new pilot. Request permission to dock.

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::On the bridge at the science station::

CTO_Horn says:
::Going over his scans of the Avatar ships and their wormhole generator::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps the console:: COM: Shuttle: FCO: This is LtCmdr. Benson onboard the USS Scorpius.  We've been expecting you, Ensign.  You are cleared to dock in docking bay 3.  Welcome aboard.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO/XO: The new Flight Control Officer is arriving, Sirs...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  Thank you, Commander.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
COM: Scorpius: OPS: Roger that, Scorpius.  Shuttle out. ::closes the channel, guiding the shuttle towards Docking Bay 3::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps the console opening the doors to the shuttlebay::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  What's the status of our research?

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::guides the shuttle in the shuttlebay, gently bringing it to a stop. He signals the bridge to let them know that he's aboard, and begins the shutdown checklist::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO/XO: Would you like the new Flight Control Officer to report directly to the Bridge?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  Please have him do so.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Unconclusive for now I fear, Unless we can get a very uge generator to disrupt the wormholes permanently we will have to continue in this way

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  What if we were closer ...

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::finishes the checklist, and opens the hatch on the shuttle. Smoothing his uniform, he steps down out of the shuttle, looking about:: Self: Well, this is it. Back in the fleet. Time to make some good impressions.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
*FCO*: Ensign Tyler report to the Bridge.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
*OPS*: On my way.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: But I am pleased to understand that they are running short on capable pilots, this will be to our advantage

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Precisely.  And we just happen to have an Avatar vessel on board ... think it could inflict some damage?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO/XO: Ensign Tyler is on his way, Sirs.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::gives charge of engineering to a junior engineer and heads to the bridge::

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::going over her own scans of the area::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: It we be most usefull if we could duplicate its technology on our own vessels, it by itself will not give us final and completely victory

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Deck 1, Main Bridge.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Maybe we don't need a final and complete victory ... We take out that generator ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
:Picks up a PADD and enters Ensign Tyler's quarters assignment and a copy of the current duty roster::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: How exactly is their wormholes generated again?

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::the door to the bridge opens, and he steps out. Stopping just outside the door, he surveys the bridge with a broad smile as the door shuts behind him::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::shakes her head:: XO:  I'm not sure either ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Glances over at the Ensign who just entered the Bridge and assumes it's the new FCO.  Nods and motions him over to the Operations Station::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::gets onto a TL:: Computer: Bridge.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::smoothes out his uniform and strides up to the Captain, at attention, and salutes:: CO: Sir, Ensign Alex Tyler, reporting for duty.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Relax before you fall over, Ensign.  Welcome aboard.

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::her gaze follows Ensign Tyler as he reports in::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::stands at ease:: CO: Thank ya, Sir.

CTO_Horn says:
::Starts formulating some Ideas::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Assume your station, Ensign.  After you've settled in, we might have a little challenge for you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::TL stops at bridge, CEO exits and heads to engineering console, then sees the new officer::

CNS_Rand says:
::orders a cup of tea from the replicator then sits down at her desk to look over her files::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::he starts to turn towards his station at the fore of the bridge, but then glances over at the OPS officer to see if he's needed::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Motions the new FCO to her station:: FCO: Ensign Tyler I presume?  ::Hands him a PADD:: Here is a copy of the duty roster and your quarters assignment.  I take it you can find your way.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::takes the PADD:: OPS: Of course, Commander. Us flyboys never have navigational problems. ::grinning, he heads up to his console, and takes a seat::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::glances over at the CSO as he notices her gaze. He gives a nod, smile, and wink, then turns back to surveying his controls::

CNS_Rand says:
::sips the tea as she reads::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Rolls her eyes then turns her attention back to the OPS console::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::walks up to the helm:: FCO: Ens. Tyler, I'm Cmdr. Masters, the chief engineer.  If you ever need something fixed, I'm your man.

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::shakes her head at the new arrival but smiles as she turns back to work::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  How goes the work on our little ship?

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::rises and extends his hand to shake the CEO's:: CEO: Commander, thanks for that. I'll try not to rough up your ship too much.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::shakes FCO's hand:: FCO: Don't worry, you break 'em, I fix 'em.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Overhears the CEO talking to the new FCO and thinks: I'm your man?  He should have said, "I'm your Klingon!"::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Modifications are nearly done.  We'll be ready by 1600 hours.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::nods, taking a seat back at the console. He glances back in the direction of the CSO with a smirk::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Good.  Now all we need to do is figure out how to fly that thing ... and fire it's weapons ...

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::thinks to self:: Cocky aren't we 

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Oh, you meant the Avatar ship.  It's ready to go now.  I have the remote control tied to Cmdr. Benson's station.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO:  Switch it across to Ensign Tyler's station ...

CNS_Rand says:
::shakes her head slightly as she reads:: Self: These two need to be locked in a room and restrained until they can talk without a desire to rip each other apart.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CEO/CO: Remote control? Figure out how to fly?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::smiles:: FCO:  Told you I had a challenge for you, Ensign.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::grins:: CO: I never back down from a good challenge, Sir!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS: Please assist Ensign Tyler.

CTO_Horn says:
::Takes his findings, conclusions and Ideas and heads for the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: I assume the challenge is to figure out how to fly something you captured with this here remote?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  You assume correctly, Ensign.

CTO_Horn says:
::Arrives on the bridge::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  Have fun with it ... but please don't damage it too much ::grins::

CNS_Rand says:
::closes the file as she drains her cup:: Self: That's enough...::heads out of her office and to the nearest turbolift::

CNS_Rand says:
Computer: Bridge:

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::eyes the remote control, looking at all the different buttons:: CO: Aye, Sir...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Walks over to the helm:: FCO: How may I assist you, Ensign?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: May I speak with you.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  The floor is yours.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::returns to engineering console::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
OPS: Well, Commander, where's this ship at right now that I'm to try and fly? Shuttle bay?

CTO_Horn says:
::Hands her the PADD::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::takes the PADD::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: Last I know it was in Cargo bay three.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: However, it may have been moved since the CEO's crew worked on it.

CNS_Rand says:
::steps off the lift and onto the bridge...sits down at the back to observe::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: Why don't you ask him where it is?

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
OPS: Alright. Well, I guess all we need to do is get this thing into space and try firing it up.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I have marked all spots where their ships are vulnerable to attack.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
OPS: I will, Commander. I don't think I'll need any other assistance, but thank you.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  So I see.  We're working to fly the ship remotely through the wormhole and go after the generator ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: I think I'd better go back to my station and get the tractor beam ready.  ::Grins and heads back to her station::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::looks back at the CEO:: CEO: Sir, where's this ship at right now?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: It's currently still in cargo bay 3.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CEO: Alright. Can we open that bay to space so I can try firing this thing up?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: put aside a the last report he read, looking quite frustrated about it ::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::looks over at the CSO:: CSO: And you, Ensign... uhm, Ensign...?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps the console activating the tractor beam system::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
FCO: Consider it done, ensign.  ::opens the cargo bay::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Hopefully by that time we'll have figured out how to fire weapons ...

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
FCO: It's Ensign Archer ... what can I do for you?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I have an Idea about that as well.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CSO: Aha. Ensign Archer. If you could monitor telemetry on this ship, I'm -sure- it'd prove useful to me.. and everyone else, of course. ::grins::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Shoot ... if you'll pardon the pun ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::chuckles while overhearing the CO telling the CTO to "shoot," which you should never do::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CSO: Thanks for that. ::winks again, turning to that control:: Outloud: Alright, here goes....

CTO_Horn says:
CO: We need to disrupt their ability to manufacture the wormhole.

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::Nodding:: FCO: Yes sir. ::smiling slightly as she turns to her station and taps the keypad::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::presses a button on the remote control that looks like a thruster control, attempting to nudge the ship forward and into space::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: There are two ways to make that happen.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  My understanding is they use a generator of some kind.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Yes.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  So we take that out, we remove the means of them generating the wormholes ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Tractor beam is standing by, Sir.....just in case.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: That is one way yes.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  Thank you.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::pushes the button a bit more, still trying to move the ship out into space::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  And the other?

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CSO: Any change over there Miss Archer?

CNS_Rand says:
::listens as she watches the monitors::

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
FCO: No sir ::her eyes rising to meet his::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Generating a beam to disrupt there's.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::frowns, pushing a different button::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Outload:: All: Perhaps we can use the transporters and transport the ship into space? ::Grins::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::smirks slightly, hearing OPS:: OPS: Transporting it there won't do me any good if I still can't make the dang thing move... Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: Do we know were and more importantly how protected is that generator?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: Well, we can always fall back to plan B

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
OPS: .... what's Plan B? And why does no one tell the new Ensign what Plan B is?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  And does that ship have enough power to do that?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::checks the remote control transmission::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::chuckles, looking over to the CSO to see if there's any change::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: Plan B-Tractor beam.

CTO_Horn says:
XO: I was able to move around over there pretty freely. I dont think knew anything.

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::shakes her head as the FCO looks in her direction:: FCO: Nothing yet

CTO_Horn says:
CO: That ship may but we do not know how to fire its weapons.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: Maybe you have to talk to it in Klingon.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  So learning how to shoot is our first priority ... if our new Ensign here can get it off the ground, that is ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::makes an adjustment to remotely connect the remote control to the thrusters:: FCO: Try it now.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::tries the "forward" button again, grumbling::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I can take a shuttle.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Pretends she is tapping the console:: FCO: Transporters online and I have a lock on the ship in the cargo bay.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  No ... if we're successful and destroy the generator, how would you get back?

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::overhears the CO:: CO: Working on it, Sir. Unfortunately, I never took "Flying Unknown Alien Ships By Remote Control" at the Academy.

CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: FCO: Still no response?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::chuckles:: FCO:  Don't worry, Ensign, neither did I ...

CTO_Horn says:
CO: If I strike at three locations which I have marked there. It will start a chain reaction and give me just enough time to get back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::chuckles:: All: Too bad they didn't have that as a post-requisite to "Fixing Unknown Alien Ships 101"

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO/CTO: If we can control it remotely there would be no need for a return ticket

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
OPS: Alright, beam it out, I guess...

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CNS: Not particularly, uhm.... who are you again? I'm Ensign Alex Tyler.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  That's the plan.  Let's consider the shuttle "Plan B" ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps the console for real this time and gets a lock on the ship in the cargo bay:: FCO: Energizing now.

CNS_Rand says:
FCO: LtCmdr. Kalla Rand, Ship's Counselor. Welcome aboard.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
Outloud: perhaps it just doesn't like working in enclosed spaces...

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::ponders::

CTO_Horn says:
XO: We cant afford to take a chance on a remte control. This has to be a precision strike. And the only way to accomplish that is to have someone at the helm.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CNS: Ah, Lieutenant Commander Kalla Rand. Right.  Thanks for that, Commander. Glad to be here.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: If the alien ship cannot destroy their generator the shuttle won't do it, it will take the Scorpius or a bigger ship

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The ship is sucessfully transported into space...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: She's all your's, Ensign.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
OPS: Aye, Commander. Trying again.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: Tractor beam standing by.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO/CTO:  And we're left with the possibility of stranding someone ...

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::tries a couple combinations of buttons tied to thruster control in an attempt to get the ship to move::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Avatar scout ship begins to power up from a standby mode

CTO_Horn says:
CO: The future of the Federation is at risk. A sacrafice might have to be made to secure our survival.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::looks over to the CSO for any indication again::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Honestly if it comes to that I think loosing a ship is nothing compared to what it would be if the Avatar were to invade the Federation

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::gives a slight nod and then a thumbs up as the indicators show the rising power levels on the ship::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  If Dy'ybylys is right, then this is a rogue fleet we're dealing with here ...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO/CTO:  What would happen if the Avatar rulers were to find out?

CTO_Horn says:
CO: It all depends.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Could we contact the other factions of Avatars and make an alliance then?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO/XO:  Maybe, just maybe, the solution to this may already be on the other side of the wormhole ...

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  What do you think?  It would mean a trip to the Delta Quadrant though.

CNS_Rand says:
::wonders waht Dy'ybylys would think about the possibility::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::keeps messing with buttons, trying to figure out how to get the ship controlled::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I will accomplish my mission.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Who says you're going anyway?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Either that or mediate a truce and eventually peace between those factions and get them to keep us alone

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
::pokes more buttons::

CTO_Horn says:
CO: As Cheif of tactical regulations require that I am on board in the event of an attack.............

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO/XO:  Which means we need a diplomatic approach, not a tactical one.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::monitors adjustments being done in engineering::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: I think we shall all go, I think the Scorpius should go there

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Not to mention I have experience in first contact situations and in diplomacy.

CSO_Ens_Archer says:
::listens and moniters her console::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  As do I, Commander.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
FCO:  How go the flying lessons?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::shakes head at the little squabble between the Horns, and wonders how those two got married in the first place, and why Starfleet allows them to serve together::

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: Sir, I registered a power-up, but nothing since then.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::turns to the CEO:: CEO:  I thought you said this thing would work?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: Did you check the batteries?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: It was working.

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: Still trying to figure this out. ::grins at OPS:: OPS: Whoa there, Commander. The Engineers give me power, I fly the ship. Nothing more.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The ship begins to respond to control input

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: And it is now working!  Look!

FCO_Ens_Tyler says:
CO: And... something's happening now. Odd. ::continues poking buttons::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
FCO: I've always found it beneficial to bang the device on the console before pressing the buttons.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: You are the captain of this ship. Regulations state you do not put yourself in that situation.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO/CTO:  What if we sent the Avatar ship through remotely as a diversion ... we might get the Scorpius through undetected.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
OPS: And then I have to fix the stupid thing when you break it from doing that.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: We cannot risk the Scorpius falling into enemy hands.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: To divert the faction hostile to us, but we do want to be detected by the others

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: Then maybe YOU should design and construct a more durable device!

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
OPS: There isn't a device durable enough for your abuse.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CEO/OPS:  ENOUGH!

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CEO: None that you've designed, that's for sure.
