CEO_Torbi:
@CTO:  Of course..  ::takes power from the empty decks and shuts them down, after checking to make sure they were empty and secured, then sends the available power to Tactical and checks his monitor::  I show you at 97% now..

CO_Ktarn:
@FCO: what is are distance from the Delphyne?

CNSTelico:
ACTION:  Sensors detect a small asteroid within the Badlands at the specified coordinates.

XO_Kemet:
EO:  Status report?  and I want all non-essential systems offline.  I want the extra power if needed.

CTO_Spenc:
@CEO: Thank you... looks good now.  ::nods::

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS::Computes distance::

EO_Madred:
XO Kemet: Understood   ::shuts down most decks checking to make sure they are clear of personnel first::

OPS_Lynam:
@CO: Six minutes at impulse sir.

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  Scan the asteroid?  FCO:  Take us in slow, 1/4 impulse.

FCO_Wall:
:::asjust course around asteroid:::

CSO_Grant:
FCO: up ahead is an asteroid,  I am sending you the co-ordinates

CTO_Spenc:
@::disruptor is poking august in the back she takes off her jacet and removes it:: Wishes she had her trusty SF phaser

CEO_Torbi:
@::monitoring the cloaking and silent running closely to hopefully catch any problems before they happen::

FCO_Wall:
@::::slowing to 1/4:::::::

CO_Ktarn:
@CEO: take all systems offline but lifesupport, cloak, and imulse

EO_Madred:
XO Kemet: I have shut down non-essential systems, and secured empty decks ... we have the power we will need.

XO_Kemet:
:: misses the stealth of a BOP :: <sighs>

CSO_Grant:
::narrows scan onto asteroid, looks for anything unnatural like weapons or defensive systems::

SO_Ryan:
@CO:Um sir no sensors

CMO_Maza:
@::thinks that the CO seems very much in him element here::

CO_Ktarn:
@Maza:singal the del to send the code to the strom cell

FCO_Wall:
@:::asteroid passing to port:::

CMO_Maza:
@CO: will do

XO_Kemet:
Nash:  I want you to begin manually targeting anything unknown, I don't want them to detect weapons locks.

EO_Madred:
::adjusts a minor fluctuation in phaser frequencies::

CMO_Maza:
@::sends signal to the delphyne to signal the storm cell::

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Send the signal to the Storm.

CTO_Spenc:
@::continues to monitor console and cloak::

CSO_Grant:
::picks up traces of old navigation beacon misaligned from asteroid::

tac_Nash:
xo aye sir

CSO_Grant:
FCO: in case we need it here is data on old beacon found on asteroid note is phase alignment is off::

EO_Madred:
::turns and looks at view screen and out across the bridge, is awed once again::

CTO_Spenc:
@:looks at the Doctor and gives her a small smile:: How ya doing over there?

CO_Ktarn:
@::looks at the data feed coming in from the Delphyne::

EO_Madred:
::turns back his engineering screen and notes a sensor spike::

MO_Revvik:
::makes sure sickbay is in top notch conditon::

CSO_Grant:
XO_Kem'et: in addition to  an old beacon signal I am picking up newer energy signals and possibly life signs

CMO_Maza:
@::looks at CTO::  CTO: fine as can be

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS::configures display to show ship's manual as well as flight control::

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  Got it.

EO_Madred:
::adjust com array to maintain the data feed from the Raptor::

CO_Ktarn:
@CTO: switch wings to attack mode

CNSTelico:
ACTION:  Delphyne picks up a small ship appraoching at full impulse.  Two lifforms.

CSO_Grant:
XO_Kem'et: asteroid might hide a small missile station

XO_Kemet:
COM:  Storm:  This is the USS Delphyne.  We wish to join the fight.  Acting CO Kem'et commanding.  Do you read?

CTO_Spenc:
@::wishes she had studied harder on BOP schemetics for weapons::

CTO_Spenc:
@CO: Aye sir

CSO_Grant:
:: short range scanners pick up a small occupied ship with 2 crew ahead::

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS::Sighs and reconfigures panel for flight control exclusively::

SO_Ryan:
@::checks ships systems as sensors are off line::

CTO_Spenc:
@:: powers up teh wings for attack,::

XO_Kemet:
:: routes SRS to command chair ::

CSO_Grant:
XO_Kem'et: we have company, a small vessel at impulse at least a crew of 2

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Manual track on those ships.  Prepare evasive maneuvers.

EO_Madred:
::notes another sensor spike and moves to look over TAC's shoulder::

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  Configuration?  Any others?

CO_Ktarn:
@::ses a ship on view screen::CTO: Id that ship

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir

tac_Nash:
xo:ready sir

CMO_Maza:
@::eyes fixed on the ship on the viewscreen::

CSO_Grant:
XO_Kem'et: I see only one ship for now but others might be hiding

CTO_Spenc:
@::Sir I think it is just what we were hoping for!

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS::Begins keying in pre-set evasion maneuvers::

EO_Madred:
::looking over TAC's shoulder:: Small two man scout sir, possibly Peregrine class fighter.

CSO_Grant:
::scaning the ship reveals that it is larger than typical shuttle ::

XO_Kemet:
COM:  Storm:  This is the USS Delphyne, renegade ship.  Storm members do you read?

CO_Ktarn:
@Ryan:how many life signs?

SO_Ryan:
@::scans fighter::

CEO_Torbi:
@::closely monitoring all power levels::

CO_Ktarn:
@FCO: use thurster only postion us behind the incoming ship

SO_Ryan:
@CO:2 life signs on board

CSO_Grant:
XO_Kem'et: perhaps we could insult them to get a response

EO_Madred:
::moves back to Engineering console, and sees a power spike from shuttle::

CO_Ktarn:
@Ryan: can you id them?

XO_Kemet:
Grant:  Good idea.

OPS_Lynam:
@CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Wall:
@CO: aye sir

CNSTelico:
ACTION:  The fighter suddenly begins tight juke maneuvers and fires on the Delphyne

CTO_Spenc:
@::starts to configure raptor console for tactical:: Hope we can do this she mumbles

XO_Kemet:
COM:  STORM:  IF you are cowards than you shall die just like Ktarn!

CTO_Spenc:
@CO They are being fired at!

EO_Madred:
XO Kemet: I am reading a much larger power source on that ship than most craft that size Captain.

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Shield status?

CO_Ktarn:
@CTO: Decloak and open fire

CO_Ktarn:
@CEO: Full power

CTO_Spenc:
@CO: SIR?

OPS_Lynam:
@CO: Course sir?

FCO_Wall:
:::activates thrusters:::

CO_Ktarn:
@FCO: attack pattern K'tarn 23

tac_Nash:
xo:shields at 95%

XO_Kemet:
WALL:  Evasive manuevers.

CTO_Spenc:
@::uncloakes and ith as much persian as posible she fires on the attacking ships

EO_Madred:
::watches shields closely::

CMO_Maza:
@::surprised that the CO has ordered up to decloak so soon::

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Target engines  and fire.

OPS_Lynam:
@CO: Aye sir. ::Engages attack pattern K'tarn 23::

CSO_Grant:
:: reads an energy build up in presumed storm ship::

SO_Ryan:
@::scans attacking ship::

CEO_Torbi:
@CO:  Sir, the Delphyne hasn't suffered any damage yet..  I advise waiting sir

CO_Ktarn:
@CTO: make sure not to damge the Delphyne

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir

FCO_Wall:
@:::evasive maneuvers:::

CEO_Torbi:
<<any real damage, sorry>>

tac_Nash:
::fires on ships engines::

CNSTelico:
ACTION:  Niether ship can get a lock on the small fighter.  The fighter manages to match all manuevers of the Delphyne and continues to fire on her, ignoring the BOP.

CSO_Grant:
XO_Kem'et: storm ship might be using dangerously high energy output from engine, possibly suicide mission

CTO_Spenc:
@CO: ::looks at thte captain:: of course not sir!

CO_Ktarn:
@Maza:open a channel

CEO_Torbi:
@::noticies the cloak had dropped before he could get his response out, and quickly bumps all power to max::

CMO_Maza:
@::opens a channel::

FCO_Wall:
@::::evasive maneuver again::::

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Continue to fire.  Manually if necassary.

EO_Madred:
All: Don't they realize we are trying to join them.  ::watches the view screen::

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS::Thinks, 23?  How many attack patterns can one Captain have?::

CO_Ktarn:
@COM:Delphyne:This is the Raptor, Lower shields and surrend so we can collect are bounty

XO_Kemet:
COM:  STORM:  Are we under attach by pirates or you?  Is this your BOP?  Do you want a fight?

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir::fires on ship::

CTO_Spenc:
@:: unable to make even a small dent she... non the less continues firing with all the raptor has

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Target the BOP but hold fire.

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  There's someone else out there.  Find them.

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir

CSO_Grant:
XO: aye, sir

CEO_Torbi:
@CO:  Captain, do you want me to rig our phasers so they do only minimum damage to the delphyne?

tac_Nash:
::targets bop::

CO_Ktarn:
@COM:delphyne: this is Captain Cluck.  Surrend or die

XO_Kemet:
COM:RAPTOR:  We don't surrender!

CO_Ktarn:
@CEO: You mean you have not

OPS_Lynam:
@CO: pattern 23 no longer advisable sir, the two ships are too close together.

CSO_Grant:
:: loads a probe to scan for more ships ::

CNSTelico:
ACTION:  The fighter suddenly veers off and engages warp towards the asteroid.

EO_Madred:
XO Kemet: That fighter may be close enough for us to get a tractor beam on it ...... ::thinks out lod::

CEO_Torbi:
@CO:  We could also transmit our disrupter frequency and then bump our weapons up to full, and of course I did, once we shifted targets..  just making sure

CSO_Grant:
XO: I want to launch a probe

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  Do it.

OPS_Lynam:
@CO: Never mind, continuing pattern.

CSO_Grant:
Tac_Nash: please allocate a tube for my probe

tac_Nash:
cso:aye sir

XO_Kemet:
EO:  When the Raptor fires.  I want a plasma bleed.  Make it look like it hurts.

CTO_Spenc:
@:: all the firing at teh ship without hitting it. has been hard:: hopes to keep it that way

CSO_Grant:
::reads tube 2 available loads tube with probe::

CmdrFram:
*Delphyne*: Commander of the Delphyne, we welcome you to the Storm.  You can call off your dog there.  We are aware of your plans.

CSO_Grant:
::launches probe::

CO_Ktarn:
@CTO:Fire on the starboard impulse enginee

EO_Madred:
XO: Virtually no damage from that fighter, sir.  Shields back at 100%.   Preparing Plasma bleed

EO_Madred:
::adjusts control systems to bleed off plasma::  XO: Ready .....

CTO_Spenc:
@Co: Yes sir

CTO_Spenc:
@:: takes aim at the starboard engine::  ::fires::

XO_Kemet:
COM:FRAM:  What?

CEO_Torbi:
@CO:  It might become more convincing if I send our disrupter frequency to Ensign Madred, sir..  then we could move our disrupter's back to full power..

CSO_Grant:
::reads data from probe, hmm multiple impulse trails normally well hid emanating from asteroid::

CTO_Spenc:
@::fires again::

EO_Madred:
XO: Bleeding plasma ...... now. ::starts bleed::

CmdrFram:
ACTION: Raptors fire on Delphyne's engines was a little too accurate and does real damage.

CSO_Grant:
XO: they might have been using asteroid as a base, multiple impulse signals flare outward from it

CTO_Spenc:
@CO: !! I have hit the Delphyne!

CMO_Maza:
@::surprised::

EO_Madred:
::is shaken slightly:: XO: We felt that one .... bleed in progress.  Should I also simulate a warp containment problem?

CTO_Spenc:
A:: oh my god...  SiR?

MO_Revvik:
::stumbles as the ship is shaken::

CMO_Maza:
@CO: recommend that we open a channel to the Delphyne for their surrender

CO_Ktarn:
@::See data come in from the del::CTO: I did not say destroy her!

CEO_Torbi:
@::what the heck?::  CO:  Sir, I just registered a major power spike in the tactical systems..  thet was a fully powered shot we just fired..

CO_Ktarn:
@Maza:Do it

XO_Kemet:
:: really pissed off now, half tempted to order return fire ::

CMO_Maza:
@::opens a channel to the Delphyne::

CmdrFram:
*Del*: Lt. Kem'et, We welcome you and the Raptor into the Storm.  Please assume orbit around the asteroid.

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Fire behind the Raptor.  MISS THEM.

CMO_Maza:
@*Delphyne* We've damaged your engines.  Surrender to us now!

CTO_Spenc:
@CEO: what the heck is going on?

XO_Kemet:
FCO:  Emergency impulse toward the asteroid.

tac_Nash:
xo aye sir

EO_Madred:
::turns back to the Engineering console:: XO: We are okay .... minor damage.  Teams in place and repairing now.  Bleed continuing.  ::monitors action closely.

CSO_Grant:
XO: I suggest we return fire and ask Cmdr Fram for assistance

CEO_Torbi:
@CTO:  I don't know, but I intend to find out

XO_Kemet:
COM: Raptor:  A woman?!?  I think not.  Pirates have no honor.

CEO_Torbi:
@*Kil'kut*  What the heck happened down there Ensign?  We are not firing at them with full power...

CTO_Spenc:
@CO: I think we should cloak. They will have to fire back

CMO_Maza:
@*Delphyne* Surrender or we shall continue firing upon your vessel

CmdrFram:
*Del*: Lt., I await your response.  Do not force me to action.

SO_Ryan:
@CO:Sir it appears they think we want to join storm also

XO_Kemet:
COM:  FRAM:  The Raptor is engaging us.  Are you here to help or to fight us as well?

EO_Madred:
XO: I can't shunt much more plasma than we have bleed off already.  I need to shut down the bleed .....

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Photon torpedo at the Raptor... low yield.

CmdrFram:
*Del*: Oh, very well, Lt.  You leave me no choice.

CEO_Torbi:
@::double checks the algorithm that changed the voice patterns and images of the crew on the Raptor to make sure it's working::

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir

CSO_Grant:
::reads more data from asteroid, some kind of defensive equipment in place possibly shield generators but not active::

EO_Madred:
::prepares to shut down plasma bleed::

XO_Kemet:
COM:  FRAM:  Is the Raptor some sort of trick of yours?

CmdrFram:
ACTION: The asteroid suddenly opens up with whithering phaser and torpedo fire on Raptor; her power is immediately cut.

CSO_Grant:
XO: the asteroid has shield generators but they are not on at this time

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS:: Sees incoming torpedo and attempts evasive maneuver::

CTO_Spenc:
@CO: Sir I suggest a retreat, while we can. make it look as if we are cowards, and cloak

CO_Ktarn:
@Ops: evasive maunvers

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Lock onto lifeforms on the Raptor.  Beam them aboard... and them send a boarding party!

CO_Ktarn:
@COM:Delphyne: Brother I believe the "gig" is up.

CTO_Spenc:
@CO: to late......  We are draining power!

EO_Madred:
XO: I am shutting down the plasma bleed ::wonders why he is being ignored::

CEO_Torbi:
@::^&^*&&::  *Kil'kut*  Get me propulsion and tactical systems now!

OPS_Lynam:
@CO:Too late sir.

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Mix the signals!

CO_Ktarn:
@CEO: restore power

CSO_Grant:
XO: engineering reports plasma bleed is finished

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  Tactical evaluation of the asteroid?

CmdrFram:
*Del*: Kem'et, does that answer your question?

CmdrFram:
ACTION:  Shields pop up around the asteroid.

EO_Madred:
::examines engineering console for damage to the Del::

CTO_Spenc:
@CEO: I can help what do you want me to do? lets get this puppy out of here!

CO_Ktarn:
@Com:delphyne:Brother it seems Commander Fram is to clar for us

CMO_Maza:
@CO: recommend retreat to repair the ship and then come back for them

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Do you have them or not?

CEO_Torbi:
@CO:  ::looks incredulously at the CO::  Sir, not to be rude, but how do you expect me to do that?  And I am working on it

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  Aye on the plasma.

tac_Nash:
xo:no sir

CSO_Grant:
XO: asteroid has shields and a battery of high power phasers , ports there look like they could launch missiles or more small fighters. definitley a small landing pad there near south pole

CO_Ktarn:
@CEO: you are a Chief engineer are you not?

tac_Nash:
xo:iv got them

CmdrFram:
*Del*: Kem'et, I can get other ships, but I would much rather have yours.  Are you willing to talk now?

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  Well beam them aboard!

OPS_Lynam:
@CO:  We've got the batteries sir.

tac_Nash:
::beams them abord::

EO_Madred:
XO: If we beam them aboard, Fram will see it.

XO_Kemet:
COM: Fram:  Talk to me.

CEO_Torbi:
@::breaks out into a smile::  @CO:  Captain, we are still connected to the Delphyne..  I can borrow power from them and "jump start" our own systems...

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  Get us the best way to defeat that station.  Work with TAC on this.

CO_Ktarn:
@CEO: do it

CO_Ktarn:
@COM:Delphyne:Brother what shall we do?

CTO_Spenc:
@::goes over to give the CEO a hand::

CSO_Grant:
XO: we need them to lower shields so we can get in close

FCO_Wall:
XO: i can simulate a sluggish helm, to make it appear that were damaged

CmdrFram:
*Del*: leave that Klingon piece of garbage where it is and orbit the asteroid.

CEO_Torbi:
@::sends at encoded message to Ens. Madred notifying him of the plan and begins routing power from the Delphyne to the Raptor::

CTO_Spenc:
@::starts fiddling with all sorts of stuff. hopes she is doing the right thing::

EO_Madred:
::sees the beginnings of a power drain from the Raptor::  XO: The Raptor is using the data feed to bleed power from us, sir..  They are restarting htere systems.

XO_Kemet:
FCO:  Sluggish helm... take us into orbit slowly.

EO_Madred:
XO: The Raptor will be fine .... to himseld: that is a hell of a idea Varel.

CSO_Grant:
Tac_nash: if we get them to lower shields and we get into orbit we could send an armed party to assault asteroid .. note pad on south pole is weakness

CTO_Spenc:
@CEO: have we about got it? ::looks woorried::

FCO_Wall:
@:::takes us in orbit, makes it appear sluggish::::

CEO_Torbi:
@CTO:  I'm having to go slow so it's not noticied...

tac_Nash:
cso:yes sir

EO_Madred:
::turns to his console and ensures the data feed to Raptor is giving them the power they need, boosts it slightly::

CTO_Spenc:
@::hopes the crew of the delphyne is holding it together::

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS::Thinks "Guess somebody should have thought of a Plan B"::

CO_Ktarn:
@CO: status?

CTO_Spenc:
@CEO: sorry just ....... You know your job better than I . Anything else I can do?

CO_Ktarn:
<ack ceo>

CEO_Torbi:
@CTO:  ::smiles and checks the data feed::  Actually...  you can get ready to do some fancy firing..

XO_Kemet:
FRAM:  We are approaching orbit.  We are going to tow the raptor in.

CSO_Grant:
::continues to read data from probe, sees elevators and jeffrey tube system in asteroid::

CmdrFram:
ACTION: As the Delphyne enters orbit, the data feed is lost and Delphyne detects a second asteroid off the port bow.

CTO_Spenc:
@::wipes the strands of hair away from her face and says "yes sir" runs back to tac

FCO_Wall:
@CO: the data link has broken off!

EO_Madred:
XO: Data feed has been lost, Captain.  We no longer have direct contact with the Raptor

CEO_Torbi:
@CO:  Almost have enough..  I think..  have Kem'et stall for about....   ::^&^&::  datat feed lost sir..  I don't THINK we got enough power, but I could be wrong..  ::crosses fingers and contacts engineering::

XO_Kemet:
TAC:  When we get under their shields, I want photons, full spread, fired into both asteroids.  Delayed detonation.  10 seconds.

EO_Madred:
::tries desperately to get feed back::

CSO_Grant:
::notes as Delphyne enters orbit data feed to Raptor is down and a 2nd asteroid close by shows up::

MO_Revvik:
Medstaff:  your all on the alert,  prepare for casulaties

CTO_Spenc:
@CO sir are we not connected?

CSO_Grant:
XO: they might be using ships disguised as asteroids!

tac_Nash:
xo:aye sir ready

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  OK.  Ideas then?

CSO_Grant:
::hmm small asteroid not as nimble as regular ship::

CmdrFram:
*Del*: Kem'et, you will not tow Raptor in, or I will destroy it.

CEO_Torbi:
@::double checking the new power levels::

CSO_Grant:
Tac_Nash: alternate plan available if tractor beam is working... could tractor lock on small asteroid and cause it to crash into big asteroid

EO_Madred:
::thinks the Raptor should try to make a run for it::

CTO_Spenc:
@::looks at the CEO and shakes her head, glad she is not him::

OPS_Lynam:
@OPS::Watches power levels fluctuating::

MO_Revvik:
Medstaff:  you two ::points:: go prepare CB 5, the rest of you stay here

tac_Nash:
cso:the tracterbeam is working

CO_Ktarn:
@::wonders who the mission could go so bad so quick::

CO_Ktarn:
@CEO:how long till we restore power?

CSO_Grant:
XO: I recommend we seize small asteroid and use it to batter big asteroid that should surprise them then beam raptor's crew into to assault big asteroid

XO_Kemet:
:: wonders if all is lost. ::

SO_Ryan:
@::uses 20% emergency power to restore sensors::

CEO_Torbi:
@::begins to drain power from the tractor beam, like a living organism feeding::  CO:  I'm draining from the tractor beam now..  as long as we don't lose it, about 5-10 minutes..  and I think we were setup somehow Captain

XO_Kemet:
CSO:  What are our chances?

CSO_Grant:
Tac_Nash: ack

MO_Revvik:
