Host Tim says:
The Dublin has been phaser drilling the ice planet below for three hours to free a ship that had been trapped in the ice for over a millennium.  The "bubble" is still pulling in debris through its single opening so escape is problematical.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CO*:  Captain, I need to speak with you.  ::has entered the turbolift::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::on the bridge, leaning backwards on his chair, awaiting for the drilling process to finish... thinking over twenty thousand possible courses of action::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Quon is resting, not wanting to disturb him further she talks to the doctor on his status for a few more moments then heads to the bridge.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::as he enters the bridge, he takes a look at the Captain and the FCO::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Aye.  Are you coming to the bridge?

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::and walks to the science station:: CO: Ready for duty Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CO*:  I'm on way up.  Almost there.  I had...an encounter in sickbay.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, I've laid in escape coordinates, but how can we escape this bubble?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks up at the CSO and smiles, nodding::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
Self: That's about time.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
CO: Captain.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
CO: The ice is about to collapse.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  That is another matter we will have to deal later...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  On screen.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::enters the bridge, walking slowly up to the Captain::  CO:  Captain, would you like me to give you a report in private or here, Sir?

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
CO: Putting it through. ::pushes button::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::works his magic to ensure any comm from the planet is received::

Host Delon says:
ACTION: The screen shows the surface ice falling apart all around the area that was phaser drilled by the Dublin.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::wanting to at least hear his voice for herself, stops at the sickbay door and turns back to Quon. "I'll just see if he's awake then head to my station" she thought, coming to a decision.::.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon: So'Quon? You awake?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands::  XO:  To my Ready Room... ::watches the screen::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Any reading from Evyn's ship yet?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: watches the screen as the ice is blasted away :: OPS: Wow, that's impressive don't you think?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods to Mauro and heads into the Ready Room::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Hears the CSO and wonders if that ship is exposed yet::

Host So`Quon says:
::takes in a short breath, and opens his eyes to see Harker, and weakly smiles at her::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
<McCann>::Runs scans and watches the tactical readouts on the bridge.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
CO: Not yet sir.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Looks up at the view screen:: FCO: ::shivers:: Yes ma'am.

Host So`Quon says:
CTO: Hello, lieutenant.... ::coughs and clears his sore throat::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::looks relieved.:: Quon: You know there are easier ways of getting out of duty...::she says not unkindly...

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::glances at the screen for a second, the strange projections now showing::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Very well... keep scanning and let me know as soon as you have something.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: What's wrong? You're shivering.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Commander, you have the bridge.  ::heads to RR::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
CO: Aye Captain.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns :: CO: Aye sir.

Host Delon says:
ACTION: The crystal spire suddenly breaks apart and falls into a shattered pile near the falling ice.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Jerks head toward the view screen:: FCO: That isn't the most reassuring sight ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Crosses her arms and manages to look concerned and mildly uncomfortable, not knowing what to say.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::enters the Ready Room::  XO:  Go ahead... how is Quon?

Host So`Quon says:
::tries to laugh, but coughs instead:: CTO: Yes...I know...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: smiles :: OPS: No worries, we always get out of these situations.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Squints at the view screen, then checks the comm signal:: FCO: Right, if you say so ma'am.  With that spire gone I wonder if we'll hear from Evyn again.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon: Is there anything I can do...::then blurbs out.:: sorry I had to shoot you...

Host Delon says:
@<Evyn> COM: Dublin: Break from orbit. I am...coming...

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Quon is not doing well.  His prognosis is not good unless we can leave and get back to normal space.    Captain, I don't know if there's enough time to explain everything...  I'm not sure what I had.  If it was a vision or what it was.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::looks at FCO with hope::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: sees the spire breaking :: CSO: Lieutenant, what's happening with that spire?

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: Guess so ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
<McCann>*Harker*: Ma’am something unusual definitely happened!

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sits and motions to her to do the same, listening::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::curses to herself.::*McCann*:What?

Host So`Quon says:
CTO: No...it is fine. I am glad you protected Tessa. I owe you so much for that. I couldn't bear to see her get hurt. Thank you.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: Comm from Evyn; says for us to break orbit, he's coming.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
<McCann>*Harker*: The spire exploded!

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: As it seems, it is not part of the ship, so it is being left behind.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: We're not moving yet. I have to inform the Captain about this.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: Open the channel?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Quon: I'm sorry I have to go, you're welcome. Be Safe...::She gave the ancient family parting words as she left.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: An increase of energy coming from beneath the fallen ice.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  The couple was Souvaiel and his wife.  They said that Thoth can be reprogrammed, given a new directive and that Wildstar could see to it that Thoth was reunited with Evyn.  They asked if I was a 'Uniter' or 'Destroyer',  and wondered what choice we would make.  I have a suggestion if you would like to hear it...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*CO*: Captain, we've just received a comm from Evyn. He wants us to break orbit.  I believe his ship is free now and he's about to take off.

Host So`Quon says:
::swallows hard, and smiles, watching Harker leave, feeling his eyes water as he goes back to sleep::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::She stopped to talk to the doctor, make sure she would be told of any change in his condition and as she headed to the bridge, got briefed by McCann.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Of course.  What is it?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: Evyn's ship?

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: It seems that it is a very powerful engine starting up.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::She did feel better at least seeing him awake, they'd lost too many on this mission already, though his weakness concerned her. She entered the turbolift.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: It probably is its ship.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
<McCann>::Puts weapons in standby mode and alerts security.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::hear the comm::  *FCO*:  Terminate the beam and break orbit.  Take us to 10,000 km from his ship and keep red alert status.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: Keep monitoring that power signature.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Really really doesn't want to be this close to that creature::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: Yes Commander.

Host Delon says:
@<Evyn> COM: Dublin: Glorious....after all these years, the engines are at maximum efficiency! I am worthy of divinity!

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
TO: Terminate that drilling beam.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::thinks about "Uniter" or "Destroyer" and what would happen by reuniting Evyn and Thoth... and how would that be possible::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
<McCann>::Stops beam.:: FCO: Done Ma’am.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: Ma'am, should I open the comm channel? He's still talking to us.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Contact Evyn now, and tell him that we're moving away.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  I'm sure you know which of those two descriptions I and my people fall under.  I would like to propose that the new goal might be to redirect a combined Evyn/Thoth to seek to take the action or actions that would give the most successful outcome for the greatest majority.  As it stands right now, Evyn only does what he sees his own interest.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: Seems happy his engines are at maximum efficiency.

Host Delon says:
ACTION: As Dublin stops its phasers, Something large....something red starts to rise from the misty cloud of vaporized water and ice.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: taps the panel and begins to move the Dublin away ::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
COM: Evyn: We're breaking orbit now.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  If we destroy Evyn now, we and those officers he holds may never leave this sphere and the S'phy-Xr will never live again.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Harker comes running onto the bridge and takes her station, her eyes glued to the view screen as she sits.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
Self: Ok, it is red. That is the first clue.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "This is not good."::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  While Thoth seems to show sympathy for us... maybe it's his way.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
All: Ok everyone, be ready for anything. We believe that Evyn's ship is leaving the surface.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  I agree.  Even because Evyn is holding the sphere intact, keeping us safe from Saggitaruis A.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: The ship is gigantic. 1800 meters long.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::mutters:: Self: Wonderful, now that thing can fly anywhere.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::scanning the ship and storing in the database::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*CO*: Captain, we have a ship leaving the surface.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::mumbles to herself.."1800 meters?!"::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  I believe it is, though Thoth is not nearly as advanced as Evyn.  But combined, Evyn could be redirected.  That is my hypothesis.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: Weapons?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Now... how to reunite Thoth and Evyn?  Can we find a way to introduce him as a computer virus to Evyn's systems?

Host So`Quon says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate the graviton sphere is changing frequency and modulation as it starts to buckle and lose cohesion.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Leaves the comm channel open in case Evyn decides to mouth off some more::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
XO: Ma’am I am not sure how much time we have...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*FCO*:  I'm on my way.  Make sure we have our shields back.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: The sphere is changing frequency.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*CO*: Yes sir.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: It is losing cohesion.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CTO: Lieutenant, shield status?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes, and the S'phyr-Xr...they deserve to live again.   ::nods to the Captain::  I believe Wildstar will know the answer to that part.  ::holds up the crystal::  This will provide Thoth's intelligence.   I assume he can be communicated with in the same manner as I he was put into here.  Perhaps as myself as the interface with the computer?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO: To the bridge, Commander.  ::stands and leaves the Ready Room, immediately gazing at the view screen::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::searching for possible weapons on the big ship::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CSO: What will happen when that goes completely?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Her mouth drops open...::FCO: Sorry ma’am I....wow...

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
FCO: 50% shields these weapons...

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Anyone: 50 poleron beam emitters...10 twin plasma cannons...20 torpedo launchers...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sees Evyn's ship and realizes how huge it is::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Mutters:: Self: And I suppose we can't just let that thing go on its merry way... noooo, we'll just have to follow it.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::heads out behind the Captain::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: sees Mauro enter the bridge :: CO: Sir, we only have fifty per cent shield strength so far.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Divert power from all non essential systems to shielding.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
FCO: We may be free from this space.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
Any: And I have not idea what the huge guns on the front do...

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
CO: Aye sir. ::redirects power::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO/CSO:  I want you to find a way to reunite Evyn and Thoth.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
*CEO*:  We need more power to shields, work with OPS to accomplish that.  ::hears Mauro speak with operations::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Tries to scan the front guns again.::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::The amount of firepower on that ship boggled the mind as she scrambled for more information...::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Yes sir.  ::goes to take a seat beside Wildstar::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
FCO: Our Shields at 75%

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE DUBLIN GOES TO RED ALERT, KLAXONS SOUNDING; THE OMEGA SYMBOL APPEARS ON THE VIEW SCREEN AND THE CAPTAIN'S CONSOLE

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CTO: Harker, let's try scanning for any weak spots in that sphere. We might be lucky and find a way out.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
CO: Yes sir. ::looking at XO with a question mark face as she approaches him::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
FCO: Weak spots? ::surprised.:: Yes ma’am..

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
All:  Commander Jakiel has the entity Thoth stored in her crystal.  It is likely that Thoth works like a consciousness, and maybe, just maybe reuniting Thoth and Evyn, then Thoth can make the difference.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::thinks to self, "weak yeah right..."::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at his console and thinks "Oh boy..."::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: sees the symbol and looks back at Mackie ::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands::  XO:  Commander, you have the bridge.  ::heads to his Ready Room once again::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Curses to herself as the scans on the from guns come back 'inconclusive'::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Glances at the captain when the symbol appears on the screen.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO: I'm afraid we won't have much time.  To explain quickly...we need to program Thoth with a new goal.  And then combine him with Evyn so they become one and the same entity.  We can either destroy Evyn in this way, from what I was told...or combine them.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: Yes ma’am.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks up at the Captain:: CO:  Yes sir.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: What do you need me to do?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::takes his seat and turns the computer console to his attention::  Computer:  Lock door.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: We have seventy-five per cent shields now ma'am.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::glances around and McCann at the door shrugs, he doesn't know either.::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Having calmed down from the klaxons blaring away sees the odd symbol on the view screen frowns deeply and looks around to see if anyone else thinks this is weird::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Shrugs at MacGoo, she has no idea.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Computer:  Open Omega Directive archive, authorization MacLeod 3-3-Gamma-Epsylon. ::watches::

Host Delon says:
@<Evyn> COM: Dublin: I will assume orbit and begin system-wide diagnostics. I will have further instructions for you when I am ready. Prepare to wait for some time...

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Sees the CTO's shrug and knows this isn't good::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Quickly....Thoth is inside this crystal I wear.  The Captain has okayed my suggestion to give Thoth a new directive...the goal of Love, if you will.  To have the new Thoth/Evyn seek to accomplish the best outcome for the greatest number of humanoids.

Host Delon says:
@<Evyn> ::cuts the comm on his end::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Turns back to her station, keeping on ear on the captain.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: Love? Ok. But to communicate with Thoth inside the crystal, we have to go somewhere else.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::watches as the computer brings the file to his screen, as the Omega symbol appears again::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::stands, having heard Evyn and is almost about to speak::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::a thought cross his mind, love?::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns :: XO: You heard Evyn Commander?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Computer:  Where was detected the Omega particle signature?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Where would you suggest?  To put Thoth into the crystal I was the interface, so I may be able to do the same again between the crystal and the computer.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
FCO:  Yes, I heard Evyn.  Stay in sync with Evyn's movements, but alert me if Evyn...his ship moves away.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: Ok. If you put Thoth in there, we have to use you as the circuit.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: watches the screen and can see Evyn's ship coming towards them :: XO: He's coming Commander.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Keeps sensors locked on Evyn's ship, constantly running.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
<Computer>  ::shows on screen with details the position of the Omega particle... the signature is coming from the Tou'Vor'och drive engines::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Self:  Please don't tell me that the Tou'Vor'och's energy source comes from the Omega...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
XO: Acknowledged.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::makes a mental note to find out what that symbol means if they get out of this.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  What I am wondering is how quickly you can prepare the new directive algorithm and then combine it with Thoth first.  Do you know how we can get Thoth combined with Evyn?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
Computer:  Scan the Tou'Vor'och drive engine, what is the ship's power source?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: wonders if Mackie is ok since he left the bridge in such a hurry ::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: Sorry Commander, I haven't figured it out yet.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Still listening to bridge chatter.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: To make a new directive is easy. The hard is to load it in Thoth.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
<Computer> CO:  The vessel's primary power source is the Omega particle.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  The last time I was a physical interface.  We'll just have to try it again and see if it works...between myself, the crystal and the computer.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::closes his eyes for a moment::  Self:  Great...  we'll have to destroy it.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: Ok, how did it happen? What was the computer interface?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: turns to Wildstar :: CSO: Since Evyn uses his communication channel, can't we piggyback your new directive through that system?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::stands and begins to walk towards the door::  Computer:  Implement Omega Directive...  all other directives are now secondary.  Lock Omega file.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
<Computer>  ::sounds in confirmation::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: By using the same way to contact Thoth inside the crystal and download the new directive.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  I was.  Through my touch the computer may be able to access Thoth... ::grasps the crystal in one hand and lays the other on the computer panel::  Like this.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::exits the Ready Room towards the bridge:: XO:  Status?

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: It might work.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
XO: XO... err CO: Sir, we're being hailed.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::glances at the Captain as he comes on the bridge.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Put it through.  ::looks at the XO working on the plan::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO: Captain.  Evyn is running diagnostics while he orbits the planet.  And Wildstar says that reprogramming Thoth's directive will be simple.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  I want a detailed tactical report from Evyn's ship ASAP.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
CO: Aye sir. Channel open.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: figures her idea wasn't worth the trouble ::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Hears the Captain and writes one up quickly including their weapons.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

CO: Yes Sir.. ::somewhat doubtfully as she loads and locks proton torpedoes on the sections of Evyn's ship as stated by the CO.::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at the Captain in shock::  CO:  Captain?  Are you sure?

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Sir May I ask why?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: shakes her head :: OPS: I know MacGoo, I know.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Aye.  I need Thoth doing his job now.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: ::points toward where Evyn's ship is::  He can't just kill them all without us trying to save them!

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  If we harm Evyn, we may never leave here...and all the S'phyr-Xr, they would perish as well.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
Self: I hope I have really loved before.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Unfortunately that is a negative, Lieutenant.  You have your orders.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::lays a hand on Wildstar's shoulder::  CSO:  You can do it...

Host Delon says:
ACTION: The view screen reveals the planet and Tou'Vor'och again, only this time, the great red ship has turned its forward bow to face the planet itself.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: leans over :: OPS: We may have to in order to save others.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Looking back toward the Captain his glance shifts to the master system display at the back of the bridge:: FCO: Ma'am... look. ::points::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::even though fighting against all his emotions, his children are onboard, his family and friends, he cannot ignore the Omega Directive::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Proceed Commander.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: Yes Sir. ::confused...

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: The master display...  It says we're now the USS Salzburg... those stats aren't for the Dublin.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "This is our death warrant" and for the umpteenth time wishes she knew why, glancing at the XO she turns back to her station...::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Just watch, the Captain knows what he's doing.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Looks back at the CSO then the CTO to see if they've noticed the change on the display board::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
FCO: Ma'am... those stats. ::points again::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::senses the inner mental struggle Mauro is going through, very worried::  CO:  Yes sir.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::notices they are now the Salzburg...:: Anyone: Well this is just great...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::tries to remain calm to his crew, but is in fact very anxious and very very concerned about that::

Host Delon says:
ACTION: Energy readings become intensified as Tou'Vor'och powers its massive, forward twin cannons, both larger than even a Jem'Hadar battleship.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
Self: Love. Create, not destroy.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Swings around in his seat to face forward; shrugs and slumps in the seat::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
CO: SIR! ::just points at her readouts:: CO: Giant cannons are active...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  How long, Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
Self: The USS Salzburg?  CSO:  Do you see that?  That has to be Thoth taking over control.

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
Self: Love. Life, not death.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, "oh crud..."::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Are they aiming at us?

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: Sorry ma’am, saw what?

Host Delon says:
ACTION: After massive ionization near the tips of the cannons, a bright flash erupts, bathing the Dublin bridge in white light.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  Sir...  CSO:  Nothing...never mind, just continue working on the algorithm.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::covers eyes from the bright light::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::About to answer the CO when she's forced to cover her eyes...::

Host Delon says:
ACTION: Seconds later, the light fades and the unthinkable is seen....the planet itself is literally cut in half.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: covers her eyes to protect them from the flash :: Self: Yikes!

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CO:  I'm not sure...he's working as quickly as...  ::closes her eyes and brings her arm to shield from the flashing brilliance::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Ducks head from the bright light and squeezes eye lids tightly shut::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::checks the results on screen::  Self:  I'll be damned!

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::completely blinded, blinks rapidly to clear her vision.::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Keeps head tucked down on shoulders like a turtle::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::ignores the flash as his head is deep inside the science station::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: thwaps MacGoo :: OPS: It's gone now.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::"we don't have a chance against that fire power"::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: I believe I finished Ma’am.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Flinches from the Commander's hit and sits up straight::

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
Self:  How can that be?!  ::rises as she stares at the result of Evyn's weaponry, awed by the power in the ship::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::tries to check systems out of habit as flashes of light still linger in front of her eyes.::

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::sees the view screen and her jaw drops.::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: We have to send Thoth to Evyn now.

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Integrate Love into Thoth's being.  Now!

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::realizes the name USS Salzburg on his personal console::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
XO: Integrating.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::mind blanks as she forces it to accept what she just saw.::

Host So`Quon says:
@<Evyn>COM: Dublin: Good, Durandal still works as I designed it to be. Perhaps one day your Federation will match my technology. I have more diagnostics to complete. Stand by.

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
::Hears the XO and wonders how one integrates love into another::

CSO_LtJG_Wildstar says:
::finding subject Thoth. Integrating program Love::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
COM: Evyn:  Is that some sort of exhibit, Evyn?  Are you trying to impress us?

XO_Cmdr_Jakiel says:
::clenches her jaw at Evyn's arrogance::

OPS_Ens_MacGoo says:
Self: Really wish that bovating bag would shut up.

CTO_Lt_Harker says:
::thinks to self, "the bigger they are the harder they fall....I hope..."::

Host So`Quon says:
ACTION: Against the CO's intent to eliminate Omega, the XO's orders are given and Wildstar drops in the directive for....love. Thoth responds and accepts...

Host Delon says:
<<<Pause Mission>>>
