Summary:  The Delphyne is head to head with a Galor class Cardassian ship.  They are being jammed by the Cardassians who seem to think that the Del is aiding the Chiku Shan in its killing/kidnapping spree
 
The Chiku Shan continues to take pot shots at the Cardassians as the Cardassians continue to take shots and the Del.
 
The CEO has been cleared for duty after his near fatal radiation exposure; will he be back on duty just in time to be injured again or worse?
 
Will the Del find away around the Cardassian comm. jamming or will this have to be fought as an all out war?
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Nine-  “Can you believe  your eyes?” Looking death in the eye.....  Star date 10803.19

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
TO_Norris: We need to get this number up

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@::hums along to the music as he preps the weapons for attack::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@CTO: Look out.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Cardassians: This s Captain K'Beth of the USS Delphyne...we are not in.....::grabs hold of the armrest as the ship shudders and rolls::

TO_Norris says:
  XO: I'll work on that

@FCO: You line’em up darling and I’ll knock them down

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hangs on as the Del lurches::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we just lost Impulse engines.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I don't know Ma’am

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@CTO: Jumping geeezzzzz.  I have had enough of this mess.  ::takes the shuttle and brings her fast and close to the Galor class on her blind side::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::deploys his best teams to begin working on the impulse drive::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Do we have sensors?

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  Impulse drive is offline; I've got my crews deployed already.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::frowns when the computer tells her in it own sweet way that it does know the answer to that::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Are we still in contact with the shuttle?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@::locks up on the Cardi`s weapons systems and lets loose a spread as he fires he lets out a rebel yell::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks to see if the sensors are still working::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Checking...

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@CTO: If you can get a com through to the...........geezzz Ty not so loud.  We weren't supposed to fire on her.  Now you have given us up.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
*CEO* : Chief we have hull breaches in the saucer section shield are holding for now.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps commands trying to find out what happened::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  One of the main ODNs has been severed, will take a couple minutes for the secondarys to come online and stabilize

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@FCO: Sorry got a tad carried away
 
Action: The CTO’s actions work, they have the Cardies attention as the Galor class turns and opens fire on the shuttle

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CEO: Do what you have to do...we need to get communications online.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@::brings the shuttle very close to the hull of the Galor::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@CTO: Now we are toast Ty.  Geezzz Can you get a comm. through now?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@FCO: brings us head on, see how he likes a face full of torps

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at the reports coming in:: *CMO*: Doctor...we need medical teams stat to decks 4-6...we have multiple wounded.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
OPS:  My crews are already being deployed.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@::tries getting a comm. through::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@::dives the shuttle hard port and comes up under the Galor class trying to keep the shuttle close to the ship trying not to give it a chance to fire at them::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: checks  on the shuttle:: CO: Sorry captain nothing on it till the secondaries come up.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*CO*:: Aye ma'am on the way

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@::begins firing the phasers at targets of opportunity::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
::sends teams to those locations::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
*CEO*: Roger Chief.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@FCO: Where too close to ole spooney

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@::brings the shuttle back some from the hull and brings it in behind the engines::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@CTO: Now try again.  Maybe we can do it behind her here.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
@::retries the comm. channel::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
@::holds the shuttle just behind the Galor class engines::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::bangs her console as it is so slow in giving her any read-outs::
 
Action : The Galor class opens up on the shuttle craft, full volley.  For several long seconds the tiny ship is beaten.  The Del’s secondaires come on line just in time to see the shuttle explode into pieces.  One of the larger section rockets towards the Del striking it in the already damaged decks and lodging inside.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  Secondarys have come back online.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Sensors are back online.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::stands up as the view screen comes on line:: XO: Tell me that was not our shuttle.
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sees what happens as the secondary system come back online:: CO: Captain it looks like that idiot FCO took the shuttle into a fire fight with the Cardassian and lost.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: They got us through the saucer section.  Reports from the affected decks are coming in now.  ::looks up at the screen::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::scans the debris field in hopes of anything surviving::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Ma'am. ::looks down and runs a sensor scan::
 
Action: There is an incoming hail from the Cardassians

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::deploys teams to begin shoring up the damaged decks.::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Try the comms again. ::starts swearing profusely in every language she knows::
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: resends the hails to the Cardassians::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are now being hailed by the Cardassians. On screen.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae wiggle at some of the Captain's more colorful curse words::
 
Action:  A rather tall and smug looking Cardassian appears on the view screen

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sees the Cardassian and would like to personally wipe the smile off his face::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::stops swearing long enough to turn towards the view screen:: COM: Calore: It's about time you stopped jamming us.  We've been trying to tell you that we are not in league with that other ship and in fact were trying to stop it when you stuck your nose in.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: No life signs or traces of a transport around the shuttle's remains.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: Noted Commander ::still keeps a sensor scanning the debris, just in case::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::obviously ticked off:: COM: Calore: If you had noticed...we did not fire on you...although we certainly can.  And your government will definitely hear about this. ::mutters under her breath:: If I don't wring your neck myself first.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::brings all of his team onto duty and sends them to work on the hull breaches.::

Gul_Calore says:
COM: Delphyne: CO : Oh yes I am sure you are quite innocent my dear captain, that is why the butcher ship continues to aid you.  My government will find it most satisfactory that we have found the ship that is killing our citizens

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: hears the Captain mutter and whispers back:: CO: You can be first after me.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::turns her attention over to finding the Shan ship::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Calore: Are you deaf?  Or has the Cardassian military taken to only enlisting the lowest on the IQ charts.  We are not in league with that ship and in fact were in pursuit of it.  Or has the big torpedoes that we slung after it and NOT at you, may I add, totally escaped your notice?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Looks up and thinks:: Self: What about our own citizens?

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  My teams have found a large chunk of the shuttle lodged into one of the breaches.  It will have to be cut loose.

Gul_Calore says:
:: stands up :: COM: Del: Your insolence will be the death of you captain.  How dare you talk to me in that tone.  I could have destroyed you or did you think we could not detect your ship being powerless.  Instead I gave you the chance to surrender; I could have killed you outright
 
TO_Norris says:
::standing at TAC::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: checks the status of the engines and power while he waits for the Captain to try an explain to this idiot Cardassian what is going on::

TO_Norris says:
::checks weapons status::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
TO_Norris: How are shields coming along?  ::trying to get her mind off of the shuttle::

TO_Norris says:
XO: Am running a system check now commander

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Calore: If you want to be the one responsible for starting another galactic war between our people...so be it.  Although I suggest you check with your superiors before you take such action.  I doubt your Legate will be happy knowing that the blame for the complete loss of thousands of ships and troops is at his doorstep because of one of his men.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods at Norris, but her mind keeps wandering to McQueen and Dorvan::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
TO; I am routing all the power I can at the moment to weapons and shields.
 
TO_Norris says:
XO: Our shields 72%, Cardi`s shields 78%. Our weapons are hot and ready

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
TO: Good

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::sends the information on the shields and weapons to the Captains reader screen::
 
Gul_Calore says:
COM: Del: CO: And if I were to capture your ally ship...how many Cardassian citizens would I find?  I doubt the Legate would be too troubled if I found but one

TO_Norris says:
::nods and brings targeting data on the Galor up::
 
TO_Norris says:
Self: I’d pay good money to shut that guy up
 
CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: The Shan ship continues to pop in and out of this space, taking pot shots at the Cardassian ship.  Right now it seems they are waiting though... perhaps to see what transpires.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::steps off the lift and walks to the flight console and relieves the shaken FCO that was on duty::

TO_Norris says:
XO: Maybe we should let them kill our mate out there

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: If only we could use this to take out the Chiku Shan

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::nods to the XO and then takes a breath and visibly reins in her temper:: COM: Calore: Why don't we capture it together and you can find out.  They have Federation hostages also.  As long as we work together, no one side can accuse the other of starting a galactic incident.  But if you go after her yourself...without our help...

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Calore: That could easily be construed as an act of war.
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: looks at the new FCO:: FCO: Watch the engines we have just gotten them back online and they are a little fragile yet.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
TO: Tempting as that is we can't and they now it

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
<now to Know>

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: Understood Lt.

Gul_Calore says:
:: stands back rubbing his chin :: COM : Del: CO: And what assurances do I have the you both will not turn on me

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::looks around at all the officers. Feeling a tad out of place in officer country::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: What if we were to fly a shuttle into the worm hole by remote? We could program it to overload its power supply once it got separated from our signal.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::getting irritated again:: COM: Calore: Because I could have blown a hole right through your hull when you first attacked us...and I'm sure your engineers will tell that it is true.  But I didn't...because I don't want to explain to my Admiral why I started an intergalactic incident.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: moves to the OPS Consol and works on getting the power back to where it is needed the most::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::gets the latest reports from his teams::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: New worm hole is being detected at 0955 by 24.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: We've been working on that, but with the last run in with the wormhole I don't know if it would work

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: Incoming high speed contact

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
TO: Keep scanning them

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  Engines are back online, but the excess pull on the secondary odn is pushing it to the max.  Also cutting the piece of the shuttle out is going to be slow going.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::begins locking up the new contact::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hands dance over the console making new vectors::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
TO: Identify it.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves over to Tarrez_Hunter's side:: CSO: Where?

Gul_Calore says:
COM: Del : CO: I see your word is worth nothing your allies return :: orders weapons to bare on the Chiku Shan :: You are next captain

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::points to it on her SRS read out::  XO: Right there

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::scans the new contact::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: tries hailing the new contact::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: ::looks over and sees the Klingon engineer at the flight station:: Prepare to follow them in to the wormhole.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: That would be our enemy captain coming at that speed.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::an Andorian curse word slips out:: CSO: Can we get a better scan of it?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: reroute as much power as he can to weapons::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Not any better than the one we got the first time.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: yljaj......[Understood]

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Calore: Don't try and chase them...they'll just duck into a wormhole they can generate and reappear on you backside.  Get behind us...they think you are attacking us.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: It’s our old friend, designating the contact as Sierra 2

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO: Am preparing a targeting solution skipper

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO/XO: Have you worked out a way to stop that wormhole? ::knows the Cardassians can hear her and wants them to hear her::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: What if we were to eject our core into the worm hole?
 
Action: The Chiku Shan makes another attack run on the Galor class.  Its phasers tearing into the command level, temporarily sending the Cardassian bridge into darkness

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::brings the Del into the new coordinates and easily brings the ships engines up slowly knowing that the ship is not well off::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain I suggest we just shoot a the Chiku Shan and show that idiot that we are on his side.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
TO: Fire on the Chiku Shan...full spread

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: they hit there bridge

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: Of course.  ::her hands are in fists:: See what you can get.  We'll need any information to close that :: glares at the screen:: thing to close for good

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO: Yes ma’am

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
TO:  What damage did it do?

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::fires a full spread at the Shan::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::brings the Del around as fast as is allowed for her damage and gives the TO a good shot::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Move us in between the Cardassian ship and the Chiku Shan

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: jlyaj.  ::brings the ship between the Cardassian ship and the Chiku Shan::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: tries to contact the Cardassian ship::

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::reloads the tubes and readies another full spread::
 
Action: The Del’s weapons strike the front of the Chiku Shan doing moderate damage to the shields.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
TO: Target her nacelles again and fire.
 
Action: The Galor class continues forward in a line, heading directly for the Del

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO:  The prophets built this thing.  Our data is insufficient to make anything but best guesses at how much energy it would take to close the warm hole.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: Hit her but only moderate damage to shields

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: That damn Cardi is moving towards us skipper

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: Ma'am the Galor class is doing a suicide run on us.
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Move us out of the way.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::hands dance across the console::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Calore: What the hell are you doing?  We're trying to protect you!

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves back to her chair, sits and leans towards K'Beth:: CO: I've told science to get what ever info they can on the worm hole.  Maybe we'll get lucky

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::brings the Del around and down starboard to miss the oncoming Galor class::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: checks  where the Cardassian ship may hit and reinforces the shields in that area::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::looks at the view screen at the dark bridge:: XO: Do you see anyone moving on the Cardassian bridge?

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: It would appear there weapons are down, they are not powering up

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Is the comm. open to the Cardassians?

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
XO: It may be a ruse.  Be cautious.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Are there any life signs on the Cardassian ship?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Ma'am?  ::looks.  Her antennae move forward, but she can't see anything::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I don't see anything

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Comm. Opened Captain.
 
Action: The Galor seems to be course correcting, but very awkwardly...like it was operating on auto pilot

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::scans the Cardy ship::
 
Action: The Cardy ship continues to close on the Del

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Try hailing them and wake them up

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: Captain it looks like the ship is on auto pilot.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: She’s still closing skipper

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: What do you think I have been doing Captain? They are just not responding.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::drops the ship down another 25 degrees negative pitch to avoid the incoming Galor class ship::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: No life signs on the bridge

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::curses:: XO: I think they are all dead and the damn ship is on autopilot.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I wonder if they put in a last command for the computer.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: But there is more through out the ship.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: How many life signs on the ship itself?
 
Action: The Galor class follows and is closing to dangerous distances

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::growls:: XO: The last command was probably to destroy us...which is why it is following us.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Keep us out of their way, Lt.

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: Captain I can do the Picard maneuver.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: And with them coming at us and the Chiku Shan after us.......

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::tries to get a head count::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
FCO; No the ship wont take the stress.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Just move us out of the way without getting too fancy

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CEO: Damage report, Lt?

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: jlyaj.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: The Shan has taken position aft of the Cardi

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::moves the Del down again and brings her round port side first to avoid the ship::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Too bad we can't use this like we tried with the earlier plan, Captain

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Dammit...she's going to fire on that ship.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO: Skipper we should hit them while they are concentrating on the Cardi

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: How many life signs are there?  We need to get them off that ship.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: They may think that yet Ma'am.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: I can't get an exact number, but I can tell you that the life signs are dropping fast

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
TO: Fire

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  My teams are working on the hull breaches,  We are still attempting to dislodge the chunk from the shuttle.   The secondary ODN is running at it's max.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: And if the Cardassian's are like I think, they'll have a link to their Legate so they'll see what they want to see

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Get the Cardassians off of that ship...put them in a cargo hold.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::locks up the Shan and fires a full torpedo and phaser spread::

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO: Firing

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::maneuvers the Del to avoid the Galor class ship::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CEO: Concentrate on the debris...we can't go to warp safely with it sticking out of our hull.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye ::works her small board trying to get the Cardassians beamed over to the Del::
 
Action: The Del and the Galor continue to do a deadly dance.  The Chiku Shan is keeping the Cardassians between them and the Del

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::watches weapons recycle and locks the Shan up again and repeats the process::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO/OPS: Start transporting the Cardassians off.  The Chiku Shan is shopping for bodies.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am I am reading that the Galor's warp core is over heating.  Their containment is damaged

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
CO:  Yes ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: If we can't get them off Captain, do we fire on the Galor?

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain working on it between shield drops.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO/XO: that warp core might be just what we need. A breach would damage the Shan enough for us to take her down

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: try and get us angled so the TO can fire on the Chiku Shan without hitting the Cardassian ship.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::starts transporting Cardies to cargo bay 3 and orders med teams to respond;:

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
TO: It would take us down as well.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::targets the Shan`s bridge and nacelles::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: No...we let the Chiku Shan fire on the Galor.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Understood

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sets up force fields in cargo bay 3 as the Cardassians are transported in::
 
Action: Some Cardies are being the transported.  Their wounds serious from the attack and the systems failures on the Galor

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: We've got Cardassians on board
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Maybe if they think the Galor is part of the Dominion still and has attacked us...that will be enough for the alien technology to let them go.

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::deploys another team to work on removing the debris::

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::begins hammering the Shan::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: If it works, Ma'am then it would be a blessing

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: No more are on the Galor?

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::has the Del at the right angle for the best possible shot::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::glances at her screen::
 
Action: The TO’s shots are wringing true but the Chiku Shan’s seems to be putting itself back together fast enough

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: For that to work captain we need to stop firing on the Chiku Shan.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::fires as fast as the weapons will let him. Keeping up a relentless barrage::
 
Action: The Galor corrects again, almost striking the Del

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::dips the ship emergency down by 25 degrees starboard::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: We've got about 50 Cardassians.  The Chiku Shan got the rest would be my guess

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: I'm afraid you are right, Lt.  And I'm afraid it's too late.  Besides...we have lost enough of our own to try and save the few that are on that ship.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Take us out of here, Lt...maximum speed.  Let's put some distance between us and that warp core.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::fires a few parting shots::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
TO: Just before we are out of range....fire on the Cardassian ship.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
FCO: Are you at full impulse>

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
CO: yljaj Best possible speed.

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
CO: Aye skipper

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
::engages impulse at full::

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::locks up the Cardi and prepares to fire::

FCO_Lt_E`Lor says:
OPS: Yes Lieutenant.
 
XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I'll go down and see if we’ve got a Cardassian that will talk to us Captain

TO_MCPO_Norris says:
::fires::

CEO_Lt_Heller says:
::redirects as much power as he can to the integrity fields around the damaged areas.::
 
Action: The Del moves away, the damage to her saucer section making the helm sluggish and slow to respond.  The Galor class explodes in a shower of brilliant light, its warp core breaching.  The Del is hit by a strong shock wave, but the damage is minimal considering what they have taken.  For now the Chiku Shan is no where to be found.  As the damage repair crews work on dislodging the chunk of shuttle from the Del’s hull they hear a tapping from inside.  :: in Morse code :: Help I am alive...air running low...McQueen...lieutenant.
