Summary :  The Delphyne's repairs are mostly complete as the 3 Romulan Warbirds close on her position, their probe almost within range of detecting her.
 
The command staff was hopeful that the debris from the shuttle craft and one engineer will be enough to fool them.  But the remains of the other Warbird's warp core remains on a nearby moon still emitting energy.
 
Can the crew of the Delphyne put that engine to good use?  Or will it be a preview of what is to become of them at the hands of the Romulans?
 
Now the aging Excelsior and her captain (I left out aging) stand ready to take the crew into a fight for their very lives.
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty, is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Nine – “Danger From the Past” Time for a change in things 10707.16

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods at McQueen, giving him a small smile::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: That's good.  Then they won't miss it so quickly.  Let's let the Romulans know someone is here.  Send out your equivalent of a sonar 'ping'.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO/XO: The Romulan core is emitting a lot of energy.  It may cause a feedback during the transport.

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::looks over the latest readings on the warp core:: *CO*:  Captain, we should have full capacity warp engines in 2 minutes.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:

Action: SRS not being designed to filter pings the Romulan communications officers are in agony from what is coming into their earpiece.  All three ships are drawn by it

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CMO* Doctor, you may wish to have a response team stationed on the bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye  ::sits and taps the command so she can scan the Romulan ships::
 
CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*CSO* On my way

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Do the best you can.  See about tightening the transporter beam to try and contain any feedback.
 
Action: The torpedo finds its mark destroying the probe

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Good, Ensign

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I believe we got their attention.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::leaves his MO in charge and  heads to the bridge::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
Self: Gotcha

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CO and works to tighten the bean::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Good...then stand by to take us to warp to our next hiding place.
 
OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Captain the Romulan Com traffic just tripled.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::clears the area around her station just in case::
 
XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::reads some data on the 'ping' and winces slightly as to what she can imagine that sounded like::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::enters the bridge, carrying his medical bag::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CO: Skipper the Warbirds are powering weapons

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Can you pick out what they are saying?

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::finishes up the work on the warp core and starts going over the reports from his teams.::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Working on it Captain.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CO/XO: They are raising shields

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO/CSO: Get ready to transport the engine.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Be ready to fire on the engine.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up in time to see her husband walk in as she hovers her fingers over the controls::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::Moves to the SCI 2 station:: CO: Yes, Ma'am

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO*:  Warp engines are good to go.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: waits for the order to jump to warp::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, ::looks up to the screen and indicates it to K'Beth::  they're close.  I can see an outer nacelle on one of them

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::as his teams finish repairs directs them to key areas for the impending battle.::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO/CSO: Transport the engine directly in their path.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::shifts a bit on her feet as she glances towards K'Beth awaiting the order::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::glances back down and slides her finger up the console::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: aye ::taps the board in front of her:: CSO: Ready
 
Action : An ensign sees the Warbird on the view screen and passes dead out.  All 320lbs of him

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Transporting

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::Sees the Ensign pass out...wonders how he passed the physical, and stands up to help him::

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::notices something on his console::  *CO*:  Captain it seems the core damage may have caused some damage to one of the manifolds, should be ok but we'll have to keep a close eye on it.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
Self: youngsters ::shakes head in disgust::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::flicks her fingers at the unconscious ensign:: CMO: Deal with that, Doctor.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::Watches the numbers on her board:: Self: come on........come on..........

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
:;chuckles at the Captain;: CO: Just like old time eh Ma'am

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: As soon as I give the command to fire, take us to warp.
 
Action : The warp core begins to dematerialize and then rematerialize  in front of the Romulan ships.  1 of the pattern buffers has already exploded from the load but the transport is successful

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO; Aye Captain

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
:: Gives the ensign a brisk, and firm Sternum rub:: Wakey Wakey, my lad, this is no place for a nap.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: Looks good  :;smiles and shows teeth::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::wryly:: CMO: They get younger and younger...but still scare just as easily.

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::dedicates a monitor on his console to monitor the manifold.::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::braces himself waiting the Skippers order::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees the transport complete:: CTO: Fire on the engine...now!

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
:hears the warnings and reports::  XO/CO: Transport complete.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::fires at the core::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO: You’d think he's never seen a Warbird before ::chuckles remembering there "adventure" In Romulan space, years before::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
Self: Come on girl, hold together a while longer

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: notices the buffer failure come up on his console:: CEO: Chief we just lost a transporter buffer.
 
Action : The ensign regains consciousness and grabs the CMO holding him very tight , screaming we are going to be killed

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: I show one pattern buffer down but other than that I think we beat the odds.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CMO: Knock him out Doc

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
ENS:: Ok, relax ::injects him with a sedative...lots of it::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: I agree

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*OPS*:  Understood I'll get a team on it right away.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CEO*:  I have a pattern buffer offline, but that may be the least of your worries in a few moments.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*Sickbay*: Doc Hunter here, beam one Ensign, sedated, anxiety attack keep him under and refer him to the CNS ::watches as the Ensign is transported:: 

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns and watches the view screen wondering if their desperate ploy is going to work::

Action : Even with all the damaged sustained and repaired the Del accelerates to warp easily.  The Romulan warp core exploded destroying 2 of the Warbirds leaving the other in a decaying orbit calling for help.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
Aloud:: Woo that got 'em

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Ma'am, it worked

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::dispatches a team to the transporter room::  *CSO*:  I've got a team on their way now.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Amazingly
 
Action :  The ensign goes limp then with the ships change in course rolls over onto the CMO , both get a ride to sickbay

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I am receiving a distress call from the remaining Warbird. :: chuckles::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::allows herself a small smile before turning back to everyone:: All: Excellent work everyone!

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Take us back into grey mode.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::nods at the CO::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::glances up just in time to see the Doctor and the Ensign vanish, shakes her head:: CO: Aye, Captain ::moves back to her chair::
 
XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
Ship wide: Prepare for grey mode, this is not a drill
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO/OPS: Plot a course that will take us back to Earth with maximum coverage.  We'll be wanting to go into a low orbit around the backside away from the weapon.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::wonders if anyone really would think it was a drill::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::back in sickbay:: Someone get this...Ensign off me!

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::monitors the passive scans::  CO: The Warbird will burn up in the atmosphere if it doesn't receive aid.

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::sees a change on his console::  *CO*:  That last warp jump increased the temp on our starboard manifold quite a bit, still within tolerance though.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::checks over the Tactical systems, making sure everything is in working order::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: Keep an eye on it...we'll have to slow to impulse when we arrive in the system anyways...that should give it time to cool down.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: That's one distress call I believe Starfleet will understand if we ignore.

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO*:  Will do ma'am.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Ma'am all departments report grey mode.  We've got 40 minutes until they will need purging, though.

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: Plots the course to Earth::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::softer::  CO: Aye ma'am.  ::battles the conflict within her while showing no visible signs::

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::starts a diagnostic on the manifold cooling systems::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::stands dusting himself off as 5 of his staff roll the portly Ensign off him::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: ETA until we reach Earth?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::repeats his order to his staff and heads back to the bridge::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::takes two seconds to stretch and walks to the replicator:: Computer: Raktajino hot and extra sweet

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: 30 minutes as long as we can stay at warp 5.
 
Action: There is a general hale to all ships, directed at the Delphyne

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::picks up the coffee and savors the taste while resuming his post::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, we're getting a general hail

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
:;sits down and writes out a quick message in a strange code:: OPS: Send this to these coordinates. ::gives him a series of coordinates:: It will bounce around until it reaches it's destination.  Send any answer you get directly to my console.

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: sees the CTO go to the replicator:: CTO: Ensign could you order  me a cup of coffee Please.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::reemerges on the bridge and takes a seat in the CNS chair ..again::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::Nods and orders one for the LT::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Audio or visual?

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::picks the cup and walks over to ops::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: sends the message the way the captains orders it sent::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
OPS: There ya go

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: Takes the cup of coffee from the CTO:: CTO: thank you.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CMO: Is that Ensign back to normal?

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::gets a report back from one of his teams.::  *CO*:  The patches to the tanks for grey mode are still holding but it's still just patch work.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
OPS: Np, ::smiles::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are being hailed from earth.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Visual ::checks again::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO: He's still sedated, Until we get out of this I'll leave him that way. I don't need him screaming like that in sickbay, disturbing the other injured

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: The hail is coming from the Yucatan peninsula.

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: takes a sip of coffee and feels his nerves settle a little::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up::  CO: To be precise.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Record it and then display it.  Do not respond or display it live.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks over at Dr. Hunter and decides he isn't any worse for having that Ensign on him::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Captain ::taps her screen and waits until it is recorded::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
XO: I think we should start an exercise regime when this is over ma’am
 
Action: The message takes about 3 minutes to download and record

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::smiles:: CTO: And I'll put you in as the instructor

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::a soft beep sounds:: CO: Ma'am, ready to display the hail

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::chuckles:: XO: Gonna gimme all the pleasure of torturing our portly junior officers.....fun

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: On screen.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::tries to look stern, but can't help letting a small smile show::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::turns attention back to tactical::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye ::transfers the hail:: On screen now

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::dedicates another monitor on his console to watch the condition of the grey mode tanks.::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CTO: I will help if you want we can tell them that any of them that fail I get to eat. :: grins widely::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CO/XO: That Warbird just broke up in the moons atmosphere

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::tilts her head a bit as she watches the sensor readings::  CO: The power levels from the temple are rising.  The whole area is experience an increase in energy.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: I believe they are about to open fire on the herded ships

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Has any of the other areas started to increase also.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::laughs and shakes his head::
 
Action: The play back begins it is a Romulan commander.  He is ordering the unconditional surrender of the Delphyne.  He has no conditions for surrender, surrender or die.  He pulls a being from off screen.  It is someone that has served with your CO in the past.   As the commander holds a Romulan in a Starfleet uniform the CO sees that it is her former OPS from another ship.  Lieutenant Rhian.  The Romulan with the help of his cronies cuts the Starfleet officers left arm off.  "This is to show that even Romulans in your precious Starfleet will get no mercy until you surrender"

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::looks up at the monitor::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: No ma'am.
 
CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks up at the screen::
 
OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: tries to keep the ship hidden behind moons a planet as he maneuvers to the far side of the planet::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::Sykora's eyes widen dramatically::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae move down close to her head as she growls softly at the Romulan on the screen::
 
CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
Sickbay: *CMO* Ugh, Sir, Doctor House is demanding your presence :: a voice is heard in the background berating the staff, accusations fly::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::stands up:: XO: Is that set on repeat or are they trying to hail us again with a different message?

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Let me check, Ma'am

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::watches the CO`s reaction::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::wants to look away, but can't seem to tear her eyes from the main viewer::
 
XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::Looks up:: CO: Captain, they are waiting for an answer

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CO:: Excuse me ma'am  I need to go sedate another patient it would seem....::stands and heads toward the turbo lift, but turns to see the screen, and his wife’s reaction, walks over to stand beside her:: CSO:: Who's that?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::jaw tightens but otherwise shows no other outward sign:: XO: Turn it off...::pauses for a moment::...and record any other message coming from there....but do so passively.  Do not answer.  Send them to my console only.
 
XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::Sykora blinks a few times and remember it is only a recording.  Looking towards her husband she speaks quietly::  CMO: He was our OPS aboard the Aron.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
Self: Ruthless sod

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::her eyes get a pained expression in them and she turns away to look down at her console::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::looks with concern at the CSO and CMO::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::a little harsher than normal:: CSO: Tend to the sensors and tell me the ETA until that weapon fires on the fleet.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::sets up for recording, making sure it gets to K`Beth’s console::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:; wishes he could do the Romulan commander what he had just done to the other officer::
 
Action: There is a comm. from sickbay apparently Dr. House has gone on a rampage and they are asking for a security detail.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Aye ma'am

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CSO: ::takes her hand squeezes it briefly:: We'll talk about it later ok? ::takes off at a trot to sickbay::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::notes the comm. and dispatches a security team::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::closes her eyes a moment after the CMO leaves, but forces herself to re-focus.::  CO:  Ma'am the weapon is charging.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Do you have the away teams ready to go?

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::notices the temp start to drop on the manifold::  *CO*: The temp on the manifold is dropping.  As long as we don't make too many warp jumps is should stay down within tolerance.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Yes, Ma'am.  All teams are standing by

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CO/XO: A steam runner class ship has left the asteroid belt

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are about 10 minutes out from Earth.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae move slowly back upwards:: CTO: Can you identify it?

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
XO: It’s the Atlantia

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Understood.  Have someone take over for you here....I'll want you to fly the runabout to the planet.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Who is her captain?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::Enters sickbay to see the place in shambles, 4 large Security officers standing over a stunned Dr House::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: turns the console over to the relief FCO::
 
Action: There is a sudden vibration throughout the Delphyne

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
:: pulls up LCARS::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*CEO/CMO*:Report to the shuttle bay.  Prepare for an armed away team.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CO: Captain recommend you take a fully armed TAC team

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::feels the Del vibrate under his feet.  Hands fly over controls searching for the cause::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::instinctly grasps the console for stability::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: feels the vibration:: *CEO* : Chief what is happening down there?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::feels the vibration:: OPS: What was that?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: We are...and you are going to head it.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
XO: Her skipper is a Catian, I’m trying to pull up the rest of his details

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*CO*:: On my way.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::leaves order for Doctor house to be restrained and sedated, under guard::

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO/OPS*:  We are having some problems with the intermix injectors, that is what caused that last vibration.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::grabs his med bag and heads for the shuttle bay::

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CO: Aye ma’am recommend full OCU load outs

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Working on that now. :: notices that the Del is slowly accelerating:: Captain I seem we are beginning to speed up.

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
:: moves back to helm and tries to reduce the speed::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks around:: CSO: Commander...I want you to join the away team also.  Take whomever else in your department has knowledge of the Mayan Civilization.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: They are powering up the weapon more than we have seen thus far.  It is off the scale.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Good, Ensign

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::notifies TAC teams 1 to make combat ready::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Make it happen, Ensign.
  
Action: The power levels drop to about half at the temple.  The Atlantia has been vaporized

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CO and calls Ensign Merryfeather to join them::

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::calls up her screen and sends a heads up to the teams::

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
::brings up the status on the injectors trying to discern what exactly is going on.::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::gasps::  CO: Captain!

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Power down the engines.  Our inertia should take us into low orbit.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
CO: Captain the Atlantia is gone!!!!!!

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: What is it, Commander?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: The Alantia was just destroyed by the weapon

CEO_LtJG_Heller says:
*CO*:  Heading to shuttle bay now ma'am just want to get my crews to work on the injectors.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Using only about half of it's energy.

XO_LtCmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks from Tarrez-Hunter to McQueen:: CSO/CTO: Any survivors?

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
CO: Trying to Captain but the engines are not responding.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::voice lowers to a somber level:: CO: Negative skipper, there’s nothing left

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: There is nothing left

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*CEO*: First you need to get our engines to shut down...otherwise we are all going to be landing on the planet...in this ship!

Computer says:
All Hands : Warning if ship velocity continues to increase, safe operating protocols for Grey mode will be exceeded.

CTO_Ens_McQueen says:
::balls his fist::

OPS_Ltjg_Twelk says:
