Deep Space 102 Mission Transcript- 10811.07

The Game

The Game's Pinnacle

Host Gerry says:
Previously on Deep Space 102:

One of the two sensor ghosts has decloaked into a massive Romulan vessel and begun to charge weapons. The prisoners in the brig area seem oblivious to goings on outside their contained quarters. The Romulan defectors seem oblivious in their VIP quarters on the station.

Okay...now what?

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell (REDALERT.wav)
SC_Marek says:
::rushes to the Nearest turbolift and orders it to Main Operations::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Commander, that seems to wrap things up here. Can you transfer remote control up to Main Operations? ::heads to the turbolift and on to Main Operations::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::continues to help out at Operations::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Riding the turbolift to Operations::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::In the turbolift headed to Main Operations:: XO: Yes, I made the modifications in the main computer so it should be accessible from Main Operations as well. ::Looks at the XO as they ride to Main Operations::
SC_Marek says:
::arrives to Main Operations::
SC_Marek says:
All: Report! ::heads to his station in the center of the room::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
::in operations on DS102 ::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift into Main Operations and heads for the tactical station::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::exits the turbolift with the CTO into Main Operations and heads for his usual position::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
SC: We're monitoring communications, all systems operating optimally.
SC_Marek says:
CNS: Acknowledged.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Exits the turbolift into Operations::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The decloaked Romulan vessel continues to charge weapons
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Speaks in a low tone to the relief Tac Officer then assumes the station. Checks all tactical systems and brings up the shuttle controls::
SC_Marek says:
CNS: Last diplomatic attempt. Open a channel to the vessel.
SC_Marek says:
::links his console to Tactical::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Weapons are charged and ready. Torpedo launchers locked and loaded, Sir.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Keep your finger near the button, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Commander, make sure all station shields are at full as well.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Fingers hovering, Sir!
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods then opens the channel as requested:: SC: Channel open Captain
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Shields at full power, Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: All backup reactors and generators up and running?
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: This is Captain Marek. State the nature of your business. ::sounds ridiculous but it is never late to try::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: All back up systems in the green, Sir.
SC_Marek says:
::keeps an eye over the tactical sensors data flashing in his console::
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102:  SC:  You have some people of ours. We want them back.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Sir, this could get nasty. We should get all civilians to safety stations.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Tactical console is lit up like the Forth of July::
SC_Marek says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Red Alert is on, so they should have. Anyway, see that the civilians are properly allocated.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Aye Commander
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks towards the Scorpius Captain:: CO: Captain, I can have a launch warmed up for you to get to the Scorpius should you need to get there.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::watches the screen::
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: ::plays the fool:: Err... What people exactly? ::raises an eyebrow::
SC_Marek says:
::whispers:: CTO: Check the ETA for our ships in the area. I hope they get our message on time.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::hopes that the Captain's approach isn't the wrong one::
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC: This is Commander Talek of the Romulan Tal Shiar. You have taken Romulan guests and their vessel captive. We wish to reclaim them and bring them home to the Empire.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Aye, Sir. ::Begins scanning for Federation signatures in the area::
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: I understand. Well, if I understand correctly, those people are our prisoners. They are facing serious charges of terrorism, murder, and conspiracy against Federation citizens.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Watches as the computer searches for Federation signatures, grid-by-grid:: SC: Scans indicate 4 Federation ships within 20 minutes of the station.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Begins scanning the crews stress levels::
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC:  Indeed. What of their vessel you have stolen from the Empire? ::scoffs::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: making sure he cannot be heard over the comm:: XO: There is only one ship uncloaked? That means the other one is standing by for a surprise, notify the Scorpius
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Tal Shiar? What the heck is going on here?::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::tries to get an impression of the Romulan Commander::
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: ::raises an eyebrow:: It was not stolen.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Begins scans of the decloaked vessel to try and gain tactical information::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: So far Captain, you're exactly right..... I'll get the Scorpius for you. ::opens comm channel on his console:: Com: USS Scorpius: Scorpius, I have your Captain here on the line.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Watches the tactical display as information is displayed::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: Commander, you are also their Executive Officer, you can talk to them directly.
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC: You have it and them. Do you expect me to believe that loyal citizens of the Empire would simply surrender these things to you?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
#<Scorpius>Com: DS-102: Deep Space Station 102, please tell the Captain we are awaiting his orders.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::thinks no, not stolen, but confiscated when they were taken::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: Aye, Sir, What do you want to do Sir?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Sir, I have an idea...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: We load the prisoners into the defector's ship. We rig the ship with explosives. As soon as they tractor the ship into their launch bay, we detonate.
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: Commander Talek, all elements are part of our investigation. That's the reason for them and the ship being kept here under our custody. And, besides, may I remind you that you are in the wrong side of the Border, at this moment, Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Chief, what is this propensity of yours to fill ships up with people and explosives and then blow them up?
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC:  WE may be there now, Captain... however, this started on our side of the neutral zone. You and a vessel we were able to identify as the USS Scorpius infiltrated our border and "visited" one of our most secure facilities.  An act of war according to the Treaty of Algernon.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
XO: How safe would it be to transfer with this ship menacing?
SC_Marek says:
::overhears the CTO and the XO conversation, and desperately avoid to smile at the idea, and also desperately hopes the Romulan Commander was not able to hear it::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Look, they want the defectors, we can't allow them to have them. BUT we can give them back the prisoners in the brig.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Romulan Ship: I am sorry Commander, but the USS Scorpius never entered the neutral zone.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Continues scanning the Romulan vessel for a weakness that she can use against them::
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: I am not aware of such actions, Commander. Also the USS Scorpius has not left the Federation space at any time.
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: CO;  Oh but it did, and we monitored the whole thing. I'm sure your Federation would bear a black eye diplomatically in galactic politics for that...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Looks at the power allocation of the Romulan ship and focuses the scans on it::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Let’s see how this plays out first. But get your people to get those prisoners ready, just in case the Skippers decide to do just that.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Romulan: I was commanding the Scorpius and will personally make certain the Tal Shiar and the Romulan Star Empire are the one getting the black eye for accusing me of violating the neutral zone
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::continues to watch the screen hoping that this doesn't continue to escalate::
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: I totally disagree with you Commander.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Aye, Sir. ::Opens a comm to the brig and instructs them to get a few of the prisoners ready... but NOT T'Rael and her boyfriend::
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC:  That is your prerogative, Captain. However, you are correct... the Scorpius herself did not cross the neutral zone, but a shuttlecraft departed from her and did penetrate Romulan Space, as I said earlier. Do you deny those charges?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: The prisoners are ready and waiting to be escorted to the ship.
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: ::continues the masquerade: Indeed, Commander. Oh, I cordially ask you to return to your side of the Border, and thus avoid an useless waste of time for all of us, Commander
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::nods to the Chief::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Romulan: Do you deny a previous act of terrorism was commanded from your side?
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC: Not without my people, Captain. Now... are you going to give them to me or am I going to have to come get them?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::glances at the two Captains::
SC_Marek says:
::whispers:: CTO: ETA of the ships, Commander?
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: CO:  I cannot deny what I have no knowledge of. I doubt you can do the same, Captain.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Uses hand signals to the SC. Holds up the fingers::
SC_Marek says:
::nods to the CTO:
SC_Marek says:
::stares at the CO::
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC:  Am I to take your lack of answer as a decision to continue to scheme and stall for the four ships you have hailed to get here?  I assure you Captain; we are more than a match.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Romulan: I believe so. This is why your request should no come in the form of a threat but through normal diplomatic channels
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Romulan: If you have a complain about the Scorpius or any of its crew you also should use the same channels
SC_Marek says:
COM: Romulan Ship: I would like to accept your petition, believe me, and take this burden off my shoulders, however, as Captain Yo'ghi stated, my hands are tied.
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: CO:  As your request for information obviously did. I am done speaking with you, sir.
SC_Marek says:
::uses hand signals to the CTO to be ready::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Romulan: For now the only fact that we can all agree on is that you are illegally in Federation space, to anyone outside the Federation or Romulan Empire you are the aggressor and violator of the treaty
Host Gerry says:
@COM: DS102: SC: That is unfortunate for your station. I suggest you have the next few minutes to "untie" them. ::cuts channel::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the SC::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::closes the channel after the Romulans sever the connection::
SC_Marek says:
All: Very well, be ready for a rough ride, gentlemen. In a few minutes reinforcements will arrive.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Your analysis? Could you find something about those ships?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Romulan: It's your decision Commander, if you want to declare war for your empire you are on the right tract. The Federation will most certainly accept the challenge and wipe out this quadrant of the Romulan menace
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods at the XO to tell the SC about her plan::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::sends word to Medical to prepare for wounded::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Sir, scans have indicated an unusual power curve. It is unlike the standard Romulan singularity-based drive we're familiar with but seems to have more than one singularity involved.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/XO/CTO: We have to assume there is another ship still cloaked
SC_Marek says:
CTO: So, they were not lying. They are carrying some extra tools on their back...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/XO/CTO: DS102 with the Scorpius will have a hard time against two of those ships
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: We need to get them to drop their shields long enough for me to beam a mark V torpedo into their power core.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CO: We'll give 'em a good punch if it comes down to that Sir.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: A simple, short answer. How long will our shielding support direct fire from their weapons?
SC_Marek says:
CO: I am afraid so, Captain.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Not long, Sir; but with the four ships and the Scorpius distracting them....
SC_Marek says:
CTO: We could find that little spot we need to shove a torpedo right into their guts.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: When the other ship decloaks I can beam in another torpedo, but we will only have a few seconds before their weapons go hot.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: On the tactical aspect I think it would be preferable for the Scorpius not to be dragged too far away in pursuit of one of those ships and keep it around the station for combined power
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: The timing must be perfect.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Make the necessary arrangements, Commander.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: We know were that ship is, the Scorpius is following their signal, maybe they can beam a torpedo, even if the ship is cloaked
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: According to my figures, the station can withstand a little direct fire. I'm sure we'll be fine without the Scorpius' protection for as long as I need to beam in the torpedo.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: All the better, Sir.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Sees the back up ships arrive::  SC: The cavalry has arrived, Sir.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Just in time, like those theatrical entertainment shows from Earth... Movies, they call them, right?
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Four Federation ships arrive on scene in response to the Distress calls.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan vessel opens fire with all disruptor banks on Deep Space 102
