Deep Space 102 - 10709.21

"Title"

Previously on DS102:

The USS Scorpius had entered the Delta Quadrant through one of the Avatar wormholes and engaged them in battle briefly.

The Scorpius has followed the Avatar ship to the plant and is surveilling it as it undergoes repairs at this time.

The crew on the ground have placed some remote sensors for the Scorpius to attempt active scanning in case they could be monitored by the Avatar.

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

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::monitors the remote scanners::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CO/XO*: All emmitters are in position. You should be ready to start active scanning.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*CEO*: Do not take any risk Commander. Being discovered now it is not an option.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CO: I suggest a progressive scanning strategy, will be easier to prevent detection, but it will take some time before we get a complete picture of the ship

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@*CEO*: Aye, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: I suggest you leave the area of the emitters in case the Avatars investigate, take position somewhere else to observe

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Understood. *CEO*: Let's gather in our original position.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@*SC*: Aye sir.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Active scaning begins through the remote emitters...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::sees the CEO approaching:: CEO: Well, let's wait for the active scan results now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Let's hope for things we can use.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: You can set your equipment to receive the signal too, you'll be able to see the results as we do

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*/CEO: Working on that. ::taps on his device:: There...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Sir, it seems they have extensive damage from their brawl.  It's going to take quite some time to repair, could be weeks.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO: Interesting... That could buy us some time to plan our strategy...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: I wonder if that "strategy" would include extending an olive branch to this motley crew we're investigating.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: They seem to be grounded for a very long time, unless they are expecting help

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO: Only if this is the right crew to do it... We shouldn't ally with the faction that is supporting the Alpha Quadrant incursion.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Maybe we could provide intel of this ship to its "enemies"?

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*/CEO: If there any possibily to cloak our emmitters... I think now the Away Mission is useless until we gather all the information we can.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO: If it is necessary,.. We will do... I will support a "Janeway" approach to this situation

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: I don't think they are in capacity to detect them, they are more damaged that I expected

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: It could be the occasion we were looking for to gather real intelligence on what is going on, if we can donwload their computer core for analysis

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: There is always a possibilty that a patrol can find it... Anyway, that is a minimum chance...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@*XO*/SC: Besides, they'd have their full sensors fixed by the time they'll be able to detect the sensors.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*/CEO: We should proceed to download the information stored in their core... Do the proper adjusments...

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: You can dissimulate them, as for a patrol detecting their signal I can detect approaching teams and temporarily shut down the emitter that risk being detected

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Very well, we will camouflage the emitters then we will beam aboard. MArek out.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sit in the command chair, then look around and sees the junior officers occupying all the consoles ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@CEO: Let's make sure the emmitters have enough natural camouflage, then gather for beaming back to the ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@SC: Willdo, sir. ::goes to cover the emitters::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  One by one, the emitters are camoflaged

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: check the Scorpius orbit to reassure himself that they are relatively hidden from the ship down there::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::gathers some branches, thinking in old techniques he learnt::

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::goes to rendezvous with SC after the camouflaged::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: look at the sensor reading of the sector for incoming or passing ships ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@::notices the CEO approaching::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
@*XO*: Two to beam up, Yo`Ghi,

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
*SC*: Stand by

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
@::waits for the beam-up::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: send the order to transporter room one ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The AT is beamed back aboard the Scorpius

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::sees the familiar surroundings of TR1::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Let's get to the Bridge.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Yes, sir.  ::follows SC out of TR1::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::enters the TL:: CEO: Well, I think the odds are with us... Let's take advantage of that.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I can't believe how damaged that Avatar vessel is.  Those weapons pack a powerful punch, even to each other.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: However, their ship design is certainly defficient in what structural strenght concerns. That is a weakness we should exploit in combat, 
without doubt.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I think we should check weapons signatures of the impact points. If we know we can produce enough power to penetrate their ships, we can defeat them.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Avatar patrols discover one of the remote emitters on the surface of the planet...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::arrives to the Bridge: XO: Report

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: get up ::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I detected a patrol near one of the emitters, I believe they discovered it

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
Self: Uh oh!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: ::shakes his head:: Deactive it immediately and cross your fingers everybody!

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I am monitoring communications channels in case they call their allies

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
::deactivates the emitter::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The emitter goes offline before it can be deactivated...

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I don't think they can come after us, but it will be more difficult to go in for information now

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Too late!  It's offline already!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Did they destroy it??

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CEO: Deactivate the others to prevent their detection

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Checking...

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
XO: I've deactivated the rest.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  TElemetry stops flowing in from the deactivated emitters

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Either we disengage completely from the area or we have to move in more agressively

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I can't tell what happened to that one.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::decisions, decisions::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
All: I think it is too late to retire now... I think we should addopt a more direct way... Prepare to initiate the First Contact.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC/XO: You think we might be able to take that crew as prisoners?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: We can send a small armed party to install a link from their computer core, get the information and then run as fast as we can

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/CEO: They are too many to capture

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO/XO: Too risky in many senses...

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO/XO: How about their long range sensors? Are they online?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  An Avatar vessel is detected at the edge of sensors

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: I don't believe they are.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO/XO: If not, we could just beam the core aboard, download the information and return back to ship.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC/XO: However, our LRS is detecting an Avatar vessel inbound!

SC_Capt_Marek says:
::hits the chair with his right fist, making a notorius sound:: All: ETA?

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: Unknown. It's at the edge of sensors. It's as if they haven't seen us yet.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Do we have time to beam the core aboard the Scorpius before the other Avatar vessell reaches us?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Yes we do, but we have to act now

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO/XO: Proceed to beam the core aboard.

SC_Capt_Marek says:
CEO: Be ready to download the information

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I have the core location from the scans we made previously

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC/XO: Transporters locked onto the core.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Avatar core is beamed aboard...

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
CEO: Cargo bay one should be big enough

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: As soon as Masters finishes, hide the ship behind the planet.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Yes sir :: moves to the conn ::

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: In order to avoid detection from the Avatar vessel.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: Sending the core to CB1

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I understood the strategy

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: But if they get closer to the planet I suggest we simply warp out of here

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Suggestion acknowledged.

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
All: The Avatar computer core is aboard.

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
:: move the Scorpius to an orbit away from the incoming ship ::

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: The planet is between us and them now

SC_Capt_Marek says:
XO: Good. CEO: Progress report?

XO_Cmdr_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Standing by for warp

CEO_LtCmdr_Masters says:
SC: The core is secure, I'm sending a team to study it.
