Deep Space 102 - 10708.17

"All-around Goodfellahs"

Previously on DS102:

The crew has gotten away from the Avatar ships this time...and is relatively undamaged.

The Avatar vessels are not so well, all having disabled each other

It has been an hour and we are rejoining the crew as they make the ship ready again.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CNS_Rand says:
::watching the crew from the back of the bridge::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::sitting in the command chair pondering her next move::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Standing at the Operations station on the bridge of the Scorpius monitoring the repairs::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::finishes some final adjustments::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: at the science station, setting up a listening program for communications ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: Captain, I assume we will try to get some information on this possible... civil war we are in the middle of.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  You bet we are ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::wipes grease off his hands from working under the engineering console::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS/CEO: Progress on the reparing?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Looks up from the display:: SC: Repairs on the lower decks are complete and repairs to the upper decks will be completed within the next 30 minutes.

CNS_Rand says:
::lets her mind wander, trying to get a sense of how the others on he ship are feeling::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
All:  Any suggestions?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: All engineering systems are green.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: We should try to monitor all Avatar comunications, and then play our move, I mean establish some sort of arrangement with one or more factions, in order to accomplish our task in the Delta Quadrant

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Commander?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
SC: Aye, Sir.  ::Sets up the COM to monitor the Avatar communications::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Like I suggested earlier I have set up with the science department a listening program to search in the intercepted communication any references that could help, we may however need to boost our listening range

CNS_Rand says:
CO: I think Captain Marek is correct, we need more information about what is goingo on with this possible civil war before taking further action.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: It may be possible to do so by deploying a few modified buoy around us, we should use shuttle, they would be easier to move around undetected

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
All: I suggest we move in and finish the job.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: And end up destroyed?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
XO: Their ships are in pretty bad shape.  Now is the time to strike....before they can make repairs.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::glares at the OPS::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::watches the reactions of her officers carefully as they talk::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: And thus ruining any chances of making allies and end this madness

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
OPS: Are you crazy, Benson?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
OPS: That wouldn't be logical in that moment, Cmdr. Maybe if the situation were different ::raises an eyebrow::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: We are not here to fight them but to prevent them to attack the Federation, this one ship cannot take over the Avatar entire nation or empire or whatever it is they call it

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Set up the post.  Have Commander Benson work with you.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Glares at the CEO:: XO: If we finish off these four ships maybe the others would think twice about opening up wormholes into the Alpha Quadrant.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: I suggest we gather information and make an informed decision based on that information, for now we have none

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Commander ... I haven't heard your opinion yet ...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::thinks OPS is crazier than a rabid targ::

CNS_Rand says:
::turns to look at the sensor readings of the Avatar battle group:: All:  Shes right all four ships appear to have been disabled.  They are weak right now.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  One of the ships starts to limp away under power, the others are drifting aimlessly...

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I say we eavesdrop to see what turns up and if we get nothing important within a few hours, then we announce ourselves, Forcefully!

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
All:  So we have a window of opportunity if we do decide to attack ... My concern with that course of action is that it will attract others ... who aren't damaged ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Sir, one of the ships is moving away under power.  If they are allowed to make it back to wherever their homebase is....

CNS_Rand says:
::closes her eyes slightly, focusing her thoughts to se if she can sense anything from the Avatar ships::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  Pursuit course ... but do NOT get too close ... Let's see where they lead us ...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO: I recommend to maintain permanent Yellow Alert Status.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
SC:  Agreed.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: You want ME to pilot the ship, Sir?  ::Looks puzzled::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  You were a flight control officer once, weren't you?  I need someone experienced in the post.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  ::Moves to the helm and nudges the FCO out of his seat.  Sits down and enters the course:: CO: Pursuit course laid in.  Engaging half impulse.  ::Taps the helm console::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::turns to the XO at science:: XO:  Begin monitoring their comms ... let me know if they call for help.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: Captain, I'm rigging the engines for silent running, as the old submariners would call it.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Aye sir

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: starts the communications recorder, setting it for all possible channels and command the computer to warn of any ongoing communications ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
:.links his console to secondary tactical and navigational::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::looks over at the CNS:: CNS:  Anything?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Slowing to one quarter impulse.  I don't want to get too close.  ::Taps the helm console::

CNS_Rand says:
CO: The main impression that I'm getting is a desire to get home.  

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CNS:  Nothing hostile?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Watches the navigational display closely::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: They appear to be silent for now, maybe their communications have been damaged

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::keeps an eye on the engines to make sure the Scorpius doesn't create subspace wake::

CNS_Rand says:
CO: Not at the moment, no.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
All:  I'd still like to see where they're heading ... Let's find "home".

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Try to see if they are using codified transmissions.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Negative, they are not even using communications for now

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Understood.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Self: What I wouldn't give for a cloak right now.

CNS_Rand says:
::nods absentmindedly as she continues to let the feelings of those around her wash over her::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: Penny for your thoughts, counselor.

CNS_Rand says:
::turns slightly and looks over at Masters:: CEO: Nothing, Commander.  I'm simply trying to get a feel for how the rest of the crew are coping and what they are feelingat the moment.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: Yeah, I know.  We're all a bit tense.  We're in the midst of alien territory, pursuing a potentially hostile ship... Not something to take likely.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps the helm console making minor course adjustments::

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CEO: Very true

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  Scan the area.  Anything interesting?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: But then, a Klingon wants nothing better than this.

CNS_Rand says:
::smiles:: CEO: Battle yes, uncertainty...I'm not so sure.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: Not battle, really.  More like the hunt.

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: Of course, I stand corrected.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: We Klingons are not just warriors, we are hunters, too.

CNS_Rand says:
::nods:: CEO: Understood.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::is getting curious:: FCO:  Where are we right now?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: According to the navigational sensors we are at coordinates 259 Mark 3.  Still in pursuit.  Doesn't look as though they've spotted us yet.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::gets up from the chair:: OPS:  What do we know about this system ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Only what we have in the computer database from the reports that Voyager brought back with them.  The reports list several species, the Avatar weren't mentioned though.  Voyager probably never ran into them.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Hears a voice say, "Who said that?" and looks around the bridge::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::sees OPS look around:: OPS: Something wrong, Benson?

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Ignores the CEO and turns her attention back to the helm::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: You know, counselor, I worry about her sometimes.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: Nothing unsual on scans, except for where we are headed. I am getting some interesting readings. I will need some time to put this all together.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::moves up to the tac station:: CTO:  Let's see it.

CNS_Rand says:
CEO: Commander, you were telling me about your enjoyment of the hunt?

CTO_Horn says:
::Pulls up the scans::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
::takes a look and does a double-take:: CTO:  Is that what I think it is?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: Sometimes, counselor, it isn't the battle with the enemy or the kill that gets a Klingon's blood pumping, it's the anticipation and the pursuit.

CTO_Horn says:
CO: I am trying to clarify the readings. But yes according to scans this is a class M planet out here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CNS: And it seems we may have found our prize... ::points at the viewer::

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
CTO:  OK ... now I'm interested.  Can we determine if there's any life there or are we too far out?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the ship makes planetfall...

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: Do we risk scanning it?

CNS_Rand says:
::looks up at the viewscreen:: CEO: Indeed it does

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: The Avator vessel has landed on the planet.  Recommend moving to Red alert status.

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
XO:  Maybe not ... but how about an away mission?

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  Negative ... not yet ...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::hears the CO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
CO: Recommend all stop.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: If we are to send people I recommend we scan before

CO_Capt_A_Horn says:
OPS:  All stop.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CO/XO: I would advice that. Once we are sure, sendind an AT would be the best.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
CO: I'd be all for an away mission, ma'am.  My Klingon blood is ready for a hunting expedition, in a sense.

OPS_LtCmdr_Benson says:
::Taps the console and cuts the engines:: CO: All stop.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: It will get us detected by whomever is down there but so will getting a team there
