<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Elara Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

FCO_VanSickle says:
::At the helm, monitoring the tractor beam::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Sitting in the center chair looking around his Bridge::

CSO_Hall says:
@::On the Outpost working on some relays::

CTO_Valar says:
@::On the Outpost guarding the container containing the sleeping entity and watching the CSO and engineering teams trying to repair the computer core::

TO_Timrok says:
::At Tactical station on Bridge::

OPS_Fey says:
::On the Bridge at Operations::

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Status of our tractor beams?  Are we keeping that Outpost stabilized?

XO_David says:
::Sits in his XO chair pouring over sensor data::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Tractors are at optimum output.  Outpost is stable.

Bom`Cheron says:
#::Sits on the Bridge sulking::

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: Will, bio containment field activated around the container.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Nods to the FCO::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Wait!  We have a minor problem with one of the DCS’s.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Define “minor”.

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO: Good.  That should contain it if it gets out.

XO_David says:
CO: Sir, no readings at all from the last position of the Swiftsure.  We’re looking at a total loss.

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM Courageous: I'm reading a minor fluctuation in your tractor beam output.  Might be a phase variance.  Please correct.

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: A much better solution than initiating another pulse wave.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Grimaces::  XO: Are you positive about those readings Number 1?

Host AGM_Selan says:
<U.S.S. Courageous> COM Elara: We read you. Thanks for the heads up.

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM Courageous: Anytime.

XO_David says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  It's gone.

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO: That is the only thing that I could think of other than killing it.

OPS_Fey says:
::Resets the transporter lock on the Away Team::

Host CO_Torbin says:
XO: All right.  Log the time of destruction in ship's log.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Is that minor problem solved?

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: Agreed.  However at least we will not risk killing more of it than necessary.  You would not have anything left to analyze.

XO_David says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: They're on it.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Nods::  FCO: Continue to monitor the situation.

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO: Correct.  ::Nods::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

XO_David says:
::Logs the time of the Swiftsure's destruction::

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: Will, how are the repairs progressing?

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: Get me a secure channel to Starfleet Command, please.

OPS_Fey says:
::Opens a channel to Starfleet Command:: CO: Secure channel is open, Sir.

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: Thank you.  ::Waits for someone to appear on the view screen::

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO:  I am attempting to reroute relays so that the Outpost can survive until the CO can get a new core.  I should be ready to activate it soon.  But before that, I have to triple check everything.  I am a Science officer not an engineer.

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: ::Smiles at Will's comment::  Agreed.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
::A man with the rank of Captain appears on the view screen:: COM Elara: Elara, we read you.

CSO_Hall says:
@:Grins at the CTO and begins to check the relays::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SFC: Hello, Captain.  I need to speak with someone about a new computer core.  Do you have that kind of authority?

CTO_Valar says:
@::Activates her tricorder and scans the container to check on the entity's condition::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
COM Elara: Currently, yes.  A new computer core?  What for?

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM Elara: All right then.  The Outpost fell victim to what we believe was a sabotage attempt.  We currently don't have any additional information other than it will need a new core.

CMO_Jo says:
::Doing paper work in Sickbay and drinking her 6th cup of coffee for the day::

CTO_Valar says:
@::Completes the scan on the container::  CSO: Will, the entity's condition is unchanged.

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO: First scan of relays complete.  Thank you, Valar.  Beginning second scan.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
COM Elara: Understood.  We supply vessels heading into your area anyway.  The Lithos Colony needs them.  We can bring along a core on the way.

CTO_Valar says:
@::Tries to scratch the rash around her neck::  SELF: Damn environmental suits!

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SFC: Excellent.  When can we expect them to arrive?

OPS_Fey says:
::Checks the computer for progress on the Arkonn explosion evaluation::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
::Looks at PADD:: COM Elara:  Within a week, I would expect.

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO: Second scan complete.  Beginning third scan.

OPS_Fey says:
CO: Long-range sensors are picking up what appears to be a Bird of Prey decloaking at the edge of the system.

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: Will, speed it up.  This suit is driving me insane.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Thinks: Klingons?::

XO_David says:
::Looks up and moves over to the OPS console and peers down::

OPS_Fey says:
CO: Now, it’s gone again!

CSO_Hall says:
@::Nods and grins at Valar::  CTO: Third scan complete.

CSO_Hall says:
@COM Elara: Hall to Elara.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SFC: Good.  We'll be ready for them.  I also have some bad news.  The U.S.S. Swiftsure, under the command of Captain Stealth was lost with all hands.

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: Try to pinpoint it again.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Motions for his XO to take the hail from Hall::

XO_David says:
::Nods:: COM Outpost: CSO: Go ahead, Will.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
::Frowns:: COM Elara: I see.  Well, forward all information in your report and send them to Starbase 595.

CMO_Jo says:
::Looking at the stack of PADDs on her desk, she gets up and decides to take a walk::

OPS_Fey says:
::Readjusts the Long-range sensors::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
COM Elara: Starfleet is going to be dealing with this situation out of Starbase 595 and the Lithos Colony.  Is that all, Captain?

CSO_Hall says:
@COM Elara: XO: Sir, I have rigged numerous relays and triple scanned them.  I am ready to activate them.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SFC: Will do, Captain.  Err….wait.  Did you say you were sending a supply convoy to a Lithos Colony?  I wasn't aware of a colony nearby.

FCO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Was that a Klingon Bird of Prey or a Romulan Bird or Prey?

XO_David says:
COM Outpost: CSO: Proceed at your discretion.

CMO_Jo says:
::Exiting her office she does rounds of Sickbay checking to see if everyone is okay::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
::Pauses:: COM Elara: It was recently built on the edge of this space to monitor Arkonn space.

CSO_Hall says:
@COM Elara: XO: Aye, Sir.  CTO: Cross your fingers. ::Activates the Outpost systems::

OPS_Fey says:
FCO: It was definitely Klingon, Sir.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SFC: I see.  Why wasn't I informed of it?  And who is in charge over there?

CTO_Valar says:
@::Crosses fingers::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
::Looks at PADD again:: COM Elara: One, Admiral Poli.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SFC: Acknowledged.  What else can you tell me about it?  ::Makes note of the name on his PADD::

CMO_Jo says:
::Making sure that all in her care are fine and after a brief chat with the Head Nurse, leaves Sickbay and heads to the Bridge::

CSO_Hall says:
@COM Elara: XO: Hall to Elara.  Outpost systems are functioning.

OPS_Fey says:
CO: Sir that Bird of Prey has decloaked further into the system.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
COM Elara: Not much else.  We're still under construction.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Thinks: What do the Klingons have to do here?::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SFC: Very well.  I am the acting Sector Commander for the moment.  Please keep me informed.

XO_David says:
COM Outpost: CSO: Good work.  See what you can do by way of repairs.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
ACTION: With a gentle whirring of Starfleet technology, the Outpost begins to function properly, for the time being.

Host CO_Torbin says:
XO: We have one DCS not tied up, correct?

Host Starfleet_Command says:
COM Elara: Understood, Captain.  Elara, out.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Motions for OPS to close the channel::

XO_David says:
CO: No. Swiftsure was destroyed.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Sir, the Outpost systems have just restarted.

CSO_Hall says:
@COM Elara: XO: Aye, Sir.  Hall, out.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Excellent.  Will the DCS’s be required to maintain the stabilization or can I use them for other things?

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: ::sighs::  I thought we would be able to get back to the ship.  Can we take these environmental suits off yet?

CMO_Jo says:
::Exits the turbolift onto the Bridge and takes her seat next to the Captain. Grateful for the break from Sickbay::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Let me check.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Nods to the CMO: CMO: How is it, Doc?

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM Outpost: CSO: How are the stabilizers over there?

CMO_Jo says:
::Turns and smiles at the CO:: CO: Fine, Sir and yourself?

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO: Valar, I know that the EVA suit is bothering you.  I think you can go back to the Elara if you wish.  Take the entity and secure it in my Lab.  I would post someone to watch it in case.

Host CO_Torbin says:
CMO: Could be better.  I dislike losing a ship with all hands especially when that ship is under my command.

CSO_Hall says:
@COM Elara: FCO: The Outpost is functioning for the time being.

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: Negative.  I cannot leave you and the engineering teams here without security.

FCO_VanSickle says:
COM Outpost: CSO: Do you need the tractors anymore?

OPS_Fey says:
CO: I am picking up tachyon readings near the Outpost, Sir.

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO: As you wish.  But the offer still stands.

CMO_Jo says:
CO: Would you like to talk about it after your shift, Sir?  I may help to talk about it.

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: Is it caused by that Bird of Prey?

Host CO_Torbin says:
CMO: ::Grins::  I'm fine Doctor.  Although I'm sure you will have some appointments from others in the crew.

CTO_Valar says:
@CSO: What defenses are functioning on the Outpost?  Do we have shields or weapons online?

XO_David says:
::Leans over the OPS console resting his hand on the chair::

CMO_Jo says:
CO: Yes, I am sure.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
ACTION: The familiar sound of a decloaking vessel fills the speakers as a Bird of Prey decloaks alongside the Outpost.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Sir!

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Points at the Bird of Prey on the view screen::

XO_David says:
::Looks up in shock::

Host CO_Torbin says:
TO: Red Alert!  XO: Recall all personnel on the base.

OPS_Fey says:
CO: Apparently it was the Bird of Prey.

CMO_Jo says:
::Thinks: Oh great, what do they want?::

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Prepare evasive maneuvers once all our personnel return!

TO_Timrok says:
::Engages Red Alert::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: I advise we hail them first.

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: Hail the Bird of Prey!

XO_David says:
COM Outpost: Away Team: Return to the ship immediately!  Red Alert!  I repeat, all hands return immediately!

OPS_Fey says:
::Opens a channel to the Bird of Prey::

CSO_Hall says:
@CTO:  Everything is functioning at present. Defensive systems active.  If you wish we could activate shields.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Grins::  FCO: Intending on it.  But nothing wrong with being ready to dodge.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Valar says:
@COM Elara: Transporter room.  Lock onto all Away Team personnel and beam us back immediately!

CSO_Hall says:
@::Looks at CTO:: All teams: Prepare for immediate transport!

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Programs evasive maneuvers from personal library::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM Bird of Prey: Bird of Prey, this is Captain Torbin of the Federation Starship Elara.  Identify yourselves and state your business.

CTO_Valar says:
@::Dematerializes with the container and rematerializes on the transporter pad on the ship.  Jumps off the pad and begins taking off her environmental suit::  Crewman: Relocate this container to Science Lab two, erect a level 3 bio containment field around the lab and post a security team outside the door.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
ACTION: The Bird of Prey comes about and opens fire with two torpedoes at the already damaged Outpost before cloaking again.

OPS_Fey says:
CO: Sir!  The Klingons appear to be beaming things off of the Outpost!

CSO_Hall says:
::Gets out of EVA suit and heads to the Bridge::

Bom`Cheron says:
#Krape: Prepare a team for a hunt!

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: The Outpost has been hit, AGAIN!

SELF:  Hmmm....interesting.  ::Records findings on the PADD::  *CO*  Hall to Captain Torbin.

Bom`Cheron says:
::Sneers and laughs:: XO: Why not? They were easy pickings.

XO_David says:
*CO* Sir, I believe we know who robbed the Outpost.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*CSO* Go ahead, Mr. Hall.

XO_David says:
Klingon Prisoner: Are you responsible for the destruction of the Swiftsure?

Bom`Cheron says:
::Looks at the XO like he's nuts:: XO: The who?

CSO_Hall says:
*CO* Sir, the entity is organic with technology built into it.  Like the Borg.  It consists of non-technology.  It reminds me of the Assassination bot that Ensign Timrok destroyed in the conference room.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* Don't keep us in suspense Number 1.

XO_David says:
Klingon Prisoner: The Starship Swiftsure.  She was destroyed by a gravimetric mine.  Did you or did you not?

Host CO_Torbin says:
*CSO* Interesting.  Anything else you can tell me at the moment?

XO_David says:
*CO* Sir, the Klingons here have been working with some Ferengi from what I can gather.  They robbed the Outpost.

OPS_Fey says:
CO: Sir, I am picking up a peculiar energy reading.  It seems that a vessel is entering the system.

Bom`Cheron says:
XO: Did my ship look like it could hold such a weapons?  ::Stands and walks closer:: You killed my crew and destroyed my ship and ask such insanity!!  Fool!

CSO_Hall says:
*CO* Other than it is out like a cold cucumber.

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: What kind of vessel?  Pinpoint location!

CTO_Valar says:
::Looks at the long-range sensors::

XO_David says:
::Is now really mad:: Klingon Prisoner: SIT DOWN!!!  How many others are there?

Bom`Cheron says:
XO: Filth! Die with the dead and the dishonored!

Host Starfleet_Command says:
ACTION: Before anyone can do anything, some sort of vessel warps into the system with weapons firing.  The weapons pierce the shields of the three Defiant Class escorts disabling them and the vessel then comes up beside the Outpost.

CTO_Valar says:
ALL: RED ALERT!

XO_David says:
::Hears the klaxons:: Klingon Prisoner: Your buddies?

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Thinks: Not again!::  CTO: Red Alert!  Disable that ship!  FCO: You know what to do.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Bom`Cheron says:
::Spits at the force field::

CTO_Valar says:
::Targets the ship and fires phasers::

Host Starfleet_Command says:
ACTION: There is a transport occurring and two beings appear in the Brig beside the Klingon prisoner.  They grab her and snap her neck before beaming off.  They do it so fast that it looks like a blur to the XO and the security officers in the room.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Flies around to the new ship positioning the Elara to fire at it::

OPS_Fey says:
::Hits the klaxon and takes the unnecessary systems offline, again::

XO_David says:
::Stunned:: 

CTO_Valar says:
<Computer> INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT!

Bom`Cheron says:
::Falls to the ground and head rolls unnaturally to the side::

CTO_Valar says:
ALL: Targeting and firing!

Host Starfleet_Command says:
ACTION: The phasers ricochet off the ship's shields causing minor damage to it. The vessel then comes about and warps out of the system, it's job finished.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::What the??::

FCO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Did you get a course?

XO_David says:
::Deactivates the force field and enters the Brig::

TO_Timrok says:
::Rushes to the Klingon prisoner laying on the floor of the cell::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Spins around and looks at Valar::

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Sir, Intruder alert in the Brig!

XO_David says:
::Looks at the dead Klingon:: *CO* Sir, the Klingon is dead.

FCO_VanSickle says:
::Plots course to approximately where the ship warped out::

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* What do you mean dead?

CTO_Valar says:
CO: The unknown vessel has left the area.

CMO_Jo says:
::Sits at her desk thinking: This is nuts::

OPS_Fey says:
CO: I am trying to get a fix, Sir. There is a warp trial.

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Sits back down and sighs::  FCO: Status of our Defiant class vessels?

XO_David says:
*CO* Two life forms beamed into the Brig and killed the Klingon.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: I have an approximate course, Sir.  Follow?

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: Track it as far as you can.

CMO_Jo says:
::Picks up her PADD and starts on her paperwork::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: The Defiants are disabled.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* How did they manage to get past the ship shields as well as the Brig shielding systems?

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: All THREE of them!?

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  They punctured through the shields and took out their propulsion systems and weapons.

XO_David says:
*CO* I don’t know.  But they were quick.  I couldn't see them clearly.

Host Starfleet_Command says:
ACTION: The weapons, shields and gravity of the Defiants are offline.  All they have is life support and they are just floating around.

OPS_Fey says:
::Continues to track the unknown vessel::

XO_David says:
::Opens his tricorder and begins scanning for residual traces::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Narrows his eyes to slits::  OPS: Get me Starbase 595 on a secure channel!!

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Stand down to Yellow Alert.

TO_Timrok says:
XO: It must have been something really strong to kill a Klingon that way.

Host CO_Torbin says:
*XO* I want answers number 1 and I want them NOW!

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: I have plotted a course to approximately where they went.  Shall I follow?

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Aye, Sir. Yellow alert.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: Negative.  If we go the Outpost is undefended and so are 3 Defiant class vessels.

XO_David says:
*CO* I am trying, Sir.  ::Taps his tricorder::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: If I may, Sir.  These people may have Admiral Sulla.

OPS_Fey says:
::Opens a channel:: CO: Sir, I have the Starbase and our internal systems report that the intruders phased in and out like dimensional shifters.

CTO_Valar says:
CO: Permission to dispatch engineering teams to the Brig to begin force field diagnostics.

XO_David says:
*CMO* We need a medical team to the Brig.  Prepare a stasis field.

Host CO_Torbin says:
FCO: That is entirely possible.  However, one must ask if one Admiral is worth risking an entire Outpost and three Defiant class vessels.

Host CO_Torbin says:
CTO: Granted.

Host Starbase_595 says:
COM Elara: This is Starbase 595, report.

Host CO_Torbin says:
OPS: Acknowledged.  Please inform Commander Harison.

CTO_Valar says:
::Activates COM:: Bridge to engineering.  Send a team to the Brig for force field diagnostics.

CMO_Jo says:
*XO* Aye, Sir.  I will take care of that.  Be there shortly.

CSO_Hall says:
::Continues to scan the entity::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: I need additional personnel Starbase.  So far one defiant is destroyed, the other 3 have been disabled.  We've been attacked twice.

XO_David says:
*CO* Sir, there is some kind of oil residue left by the intruders.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: The situation is such that the forces we currently have in place is not sufficient to ensure the safety of the Outpost.

CMO_Jo says:
::Gets up from her desk and gives the medical staff instructions then picks up a med kit and heads to the Brig::

XO_David says:
*CSO* I need you at the Brig right away.  Bring a sample container and collector.

Host Starbase_595 says:
::Looks shocked:: COM Elara: All three?!? One moment.  ::Disappears for a second:: We have two ships in the area, the U.S.S. Adidas and U.S.S. Fithos.  They can be there in about 4 hours, Elara.

CMO_Jo says:
::Walking to the turbolift she and her two-member med team head to the Brig::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: That is correct Starbase.  As of right now we are the only functional ship around the Outpost.  Additionally, I am acting Sector Commander.  Admiral Sulla and the Outpost CEO are both MIA.

CSO_Hall says:
*XO* I am on my way.  Computer secure entity in a bio containment field.  ::Grabs sample kit and runs to the Brig.

OPS_Fey says:
*XO* Internal systems picked up a signal such as dimensional shifters leave. The Captain said to advise you.

XO_David says:
TO: Seal off this area.  No one gets in or out without my permission.

Host Starbase_595 says:
COM Elara: Understood.

TO_Timrok says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

CMO_Jo says:
::Exits turbolift and walks towards the Brig and enters:: XO: Sir, how can we be of service?

XO_David says:
CMO: Secure her in a stasis field.

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM SB595: Do you have any further orders for us Starbase?  We are also awaiting arrival of a new computer core for the Outpost.

Host Starbase_595 says:
COM Elara: You will follow that vessel once the Adidas and Fithos arrive.

XO_David says:
::Motions to the Klingon::

Host CO_Torbin says:
COM: SB595: Acknowledged.  What information on those 2 vessels can you provide me with?

CSO_Hall says:
*CTO* Hall  to Mitchell.  Could you send a small security detachment to Science Lab Two to keep an eye on the entity?  ::Enters Brig::  XO: Yes, Sir?

Host Starbase_595 says:
COM Elara: The Adidas is Galaxy Class the Fithos is New Orleans Class.  Good luck, Elara.  Harison out.

CTO_Valar says:
*CSO* Aye, Will.  Dispatching a security team to Science Lab Two.  ::activates COM:: Valar to Lewis.  Station a security team outside the doors to Science Lab Two. 

CTO_Valar says:
CO: The engineering team is running force field diagnostics on the Brig.  We should have some answers for you soon.

CTO_Valar says:
<Lewis> CTO: Aye, Sir.  They’re on their way.

XO_David says:
CSO: There is some kind of oil residue on her.  Take a sample.

CMO_Jo says:
XO:  I can do that and we will try to give you the answer that you need ::gets ready to set up the status field::

Host CO_Torbin says:
::Thinks: Harison??  Any relation to my XO?::

FCO_VanSickle says:
CO: Ready to go after whatever that was.
