CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::leaves her office and makes her way to the bridge::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CTO: Lt Mesme, nothing seems to be wrong with the checks of the security team sir.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Mumbles something unintelligent and dismisses the FCO with a wave of his hand:: *SO*: Please report to the bridge, Ensign. I require something..
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::enters the bridge a bit more excited than usual though she tries to keep it under control::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::downloads some information onto a PADD and makes his way over to the CIV:: CIV: I have finished making those "amendments" to the security details, here is my revised list ::hands him the PADD::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::stands at attention::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CSO: Good news...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::shakes his head and looks back at his console::
SO_EnsFarak says:
*CIV*: Understood sir, but first, I feel I should report an odd energy reading on the long range sensors.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::sits down;:
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances to his left as he hears the TL opening up, he raises and sighs:: All:: Admiral on deck, attention.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
*SO*: You can do that up here Ensign Farak.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
*SO*: What exactly is this odd energy reading.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::brings himself to attention, sometimes hating the beurocracy::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::paces the bridge slowly towards the center chair:: CIV: I take it this is Captain Bernie is off duty?
SO_EnsFarak says:
*CSO, CIV*: Sirs, it's ten light years away and closing fast, I cannot tell if it is a natural or artificial occurrence.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::nervous with an admiral on the bridge::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: It would seem so, Admiral. Anything I can do to help?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
*SO*: Transfer the data immediately ensign to S1.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::enters the bridge::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: I recommend we go to yellow alert sir.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::listens to the comm and makes his way rapidly to tactical, brings the tactical sensors to bare on this "energy reading"::
SO_EnsFarak says:
*CSO*: Forwarding now sir, I'll report to the bridge momentarily.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Nothing ... at the moment. I just need to watch
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances to his left with a raised eyebrow:: CSO: Oh? Why?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: We don't know what this energy reading is so it is better to be safe.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: I just wonder why Wall isn't where I need him to be
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::starts reading the report::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Logs off his terminal after transfer is complete and head to the local TL::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::takes her seat::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: What he said, Lieutenant. ::Grabs the PADD the CTO left on the command chair:: CSO: What more can you tell me about this reading?
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Arrives on the Bridge, exits the turbolift and heads toward S2::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Aye sir... going to yellow alert ::sets the ship to yellow alert::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::leaves his quarters and enters the nearest lift.::  Computer:  Bridge
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: It is a EM disturbance sir.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks up John Exeter's Evasive manoeuvres::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CSO: Can you send that information over here as well please
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: The frequency is unusual and heading toward us fast.
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Calls up the energy readings, now seven light years and closing::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: No clue on its origin sir.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::steps out of the lift as soon as the door opens and heads to his station hoping no one notices he's a bit late::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Understood, how long before it will reach us?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::transfers data to the CTO:: Here the info lt.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: 30 minutes at present speed.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: When did you first pick this up.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV:Evade or intercept?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::takes a look at the information and begins thinking:: Self: A ship... or weapon maybe...
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: Somewhere in main engineering one Ensign Trelek notices a light blinking a presses a few buttons, then mutters to himself "oops"
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::scans to see its power output;:
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: Approximately five minutes ago when I was running a scan of local stellar phenomena.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Very well. ::Turns to the OPS:: OPS: Make record of this in the ship logs ::Turns to face the FCO:: FCO: Change course by 50 meters, same heading.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: What was the stellar phenomena.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: Aye :;alters course within given parameters::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::turns his attention to his pannel as it starts to beep::  Selt:  What the..   CIV:  Sir we have a problem turbo lifts have just gone down.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Did it match our heading?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: Sir the power output is very low 100 meganewtons.
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: A Binary star system, one of the stars' was in the process of going Nova.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::runs a search through the computers database to see if there have been any other such reported incidents with EM disturbances::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::Checks the heading of the energy::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances at the CEO:: CEO: Run a scan, I want to know why and if it has anything to do with this EM.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: Appereantly not sir.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: I suggest we launch a probe at the binary star system
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Not? ::Frowns:: Do it then.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: Ensign Farak just brought to my attention that was where the stellar activity started::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::runs a scan of all turbolift systems::  *Ensign Trelek*:  The lifts has just gone down have any idea why?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::Launches a probe at the binary star going nova::
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO, CIV: The enrgy reading appeared roughly one hundred million kilometres outside of the system.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods and turns to the Admiral:: Admiral:: Got time to investigate this?
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: Perhaps we should launch a probe into the vicinity of the EM disturbance?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::watches the commotion on the bridge, her face expressionless::
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: OR alter the course of the current probe?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: Already did that ensign ferek
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::glances up at the Admiral then back to a PADD in her hand::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::sitting back  and start humming::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: Nothing unusual sir.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::taps a few buttons on the console and relaxes slightly::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Turns back to S2, notices a new development::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: No, I need to be in Risa, you can come back later
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: The disturbance has altered course, it's now on an intercept course with the Elara.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
CIV:  I don't think this problem is related to the disturbance.  I should probably get down to engineering and see if I can get things running again.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CEO: Keep me informed.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: What the hell that shouldn't be happening.
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: This could be some form of cloaking device.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::launches probe at disturbance::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: I just launched a probe at the disturbance.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::heads to the nearest access shaft and begins the climb down to main engineering::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens_Trelek>*CEO* Sir I was trying to fix it ... I think I accidentally disconnected all power to turbo lifts
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: Very well sir.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances at the CTO:: CTO: I hope you're familiar with the security roster already, go to red alert.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: It is heading on an intercept course.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
FCO: Change course, try to see if it will match our heading. Maximum warp.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::sends over  Security roster to the CTO::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::takes a deep breath and sets the ship to red alert:: CIV: Aye sir, red alert
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Checks sensor readings again::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
*Ens_Trelek*:  Accidentaly??  I'm on my way down now.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: This is n ot my day ensign farak.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::scans the disturbance again. 
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: I Concur sir.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: Course altered going at Max. Warp ::taps a few buttons on his console::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO/SO: I need results from the probes people.
SO_EnsFarak says:
CIV: Probes are still out of range sir.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: The probe did not reach it yet sir.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::routs the probes feed to tactical, so he can see what is going on as well, when it happens::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::noticing matching course: CIV: It is still matching course sir.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
FCO: ETA to Risa?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::Shocked:: CIV: The probe has been destroyed sir
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: I suggest that we get ready to abandon ship sir.
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO, CIV: The disturbance is matching course sir!
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Understood. ::Turns to the CTO:: CTO: Bring weapons online.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::sees a sign saying deck 20::  Self:  Only four more.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: ETA to Risa is one hour!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::looks at the screen::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
FCO: Change course away from Risa, keep us near patrol runs. ::Turns to the Admiral:: Admiral: Got any idea what's going on?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::listens to the CSO and half shakes his head:: CIV: Sir... ::charges weapons::
SO_EnsFarak says:
CIV, CSO: Disturbance is now on parallel heading and speed sir.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
SO: How long before it will reach us?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::looks to the Admiral pondering for a second::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::crawls out of the access shaft and enters main engineering slightly winded.::  Ens_Trelek:  How did you manage to cut all power to the lift system.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens Trelek>CEO: well sir I was running diagnostics and then ...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
Civ: Aye aye, Cap'n :;alters course away from risa and closer to patrol runs::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::runs the sensor logs back to see how the probes were destroyed::
SO_EnsFarak says:
CIV: At current speed, fifteen minutes sir, it is constantly accelerating.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Turns to the OPS:: OPS: Inform Starfleet, see if they can spare any ships. Just to be sure.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
SO: Current speed of the EM?
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: Premission tro do High Warp Evasive manoeuvres, sir!
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
Ens_Trelek:  And then what?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Sir, im getting some readings in on the disturbance, its reading several kilometres in length
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: Get the data from SCI on how the probe was destroyed, try seeing what amount of energy was used. See if our shields can hold that. In short, compare power.
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Looks shocked, his antennae twitch momentarily:: CIV: Warp nine point nine.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::begins checking over the panels to see what happened::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
FCO: Not yet.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: think I can shake it off,sir!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens Trelek>CEO: then I think I cut off the main plasma conduits that transfered energy to these systems
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: I have already done that sir, I cant find a reason for the probes destruction
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
SO: Understood ::Turns to the FCO:: FCO: Do it, Alpha seven.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::runs a scan again at the disturbance to see its power::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CNS: Try opening a channel, see if we get any results please.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:: Quickly does  Sends the ship in  180 and then  fakes to the left  and quickly goes back to it's orignal heading::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Self: It make sense now ::Looks back to her PADD then back to the Admiral, keeps her mouth shut and does as the CIV asks:: 
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::shakes his head and mutters to himself::  Computer:  Reinitialize plasma conduits to the Turbo lift system.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: Any energy readings when the probe exploded?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::gives the sensor readings a look... then a second look:: CIV: Sir... my readings indicate the disturbance closly matches that of... a Borg cube
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Pauses at the CTO's comment:: CTO: Figures. ::Sighs:: FCO: Get us out of here!
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: Can't shake off a Cube, sir, ain't god!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::eyes Maor but says nothing::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: I suggest we abandon ship sir
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: However, there are a few discrepancies with information on record
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CNS: Inform Starfleet please. ::Turns to face the CTO:: CTO: Explain?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::starts getting a little worried::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:;sets course to to the nearest Starbase:: CIV: new course set, heading for nearest Starbase, permission to go to Maxiumum Warp,sir!
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
FCO: I thought we're already at maximum warp?
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CIV: Yes sir.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: need to ask that  when course has been altered, sir
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
civ: intercept in 10 minutes and increasing speed.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::Starts to inform starfleet with a burning question on the tip of her tongue::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: Go to Red 1, triple all the security detail aboard the Elara.
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Looks shocked by the rate of acceleration being pulled off by the disturbance::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Yes sir... sir, you know this ship can not hold its own against a borg cube don’t you. ::makes the step up in security::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
Ens_Trelek:  I want you to try to reroute power from some non essential power systems and get those lifts running.  I'm going to go see what is obstructing the conduits.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::Sets trhe ship to Max warp on new Heading::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
<Ens Trelek>::nods:: CEO: I'll back you up ::heads to the console::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
*All*: This is the bridge, we've encountered a Borg cube. All non essential personal please report to your quarters, I repeat this is not a drill.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::blinks just once and stares at the screen::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: Well you should know i have scene borg cubes trying to carry refugees once
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::tries to get clearer sensor data in from the "cube"::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
*CIV*:  Turbo lifts are still down.  There is something obstructing the power conduit I'm going in to figure out what it is.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: If we'll have to we'll fight, trust me.
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Antennae twitches nervously::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::closes his eyes and takes a deep breath and mutters  something from the bible::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::grabs his tools and heads for the access panels::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::looking a little scared:: CTO: Are you sure its the borg
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CEO: Do it faster, see if you can spare anyone to the bridge as well.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Sir, whatever this thing is its going to be on us in 5 minutes...
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: Sir, Suggest  to turn around and go head on head, sir!
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
*CIV*:  Aye sir.  ::looks around::  Ens_Derfel:  They need you one the bridge get up there now.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: Understood. ::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: Any answers from the hails?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: and their are some energy readings that all encountered borg cubes have that this ship is missing
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: Well at least I have a chance for a little revenge
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::finds the access panel to the lifts power conduits and removes it::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CIV: No Sir.
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: Indeed sir, I don't intend to be assimilated today.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Nods:: CTO: And no warnings from the cube as well, odd.. ::Turns to the FCO:: FCO: Full stop, turn us around.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: Well then today is a good day to die.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CSO: I dont know what this ship is... yet
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::gets the panel off and remember the borg are near grabs a phaser before crawling in::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Bring the cube on screen!
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::brings cube on screen::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: Aye, full stop and  turning around ::Goes full stop and does a quick turn to meet this 'cube'::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Turns to the viewscreen::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
SO: Scan the cube, see what you can find.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: On the main screen the amplified image of the cube appears. To the naked, untrained eye, most cubes look alike. this is no diffrent
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::scans the cube::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::takes a look and draws a breath, then glances back for the admiral's reaction::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
:;sets his phaser so it rotates firing::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Runs an intense scan of the cube::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::worried:: ALL:: These borg destroyed homeworld.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ALL: They should all be wiped out
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::runs all information through the database, looking for anomilies::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: Easy, Ensign.
SO_EnsFarak says:
Civ:Configuration matches that of Starfleet records sir, exactly.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::scans some info on the cub::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::begins crawling down the conduit looking and scanning for anything that would obstrut power flow::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
SO: How did this slip through sensors.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CIV: Oh I have a reply to those hails.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::looks at the screen raising her eyebrows, she remains quiet::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CNS: Indeed? On screen.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::watches the admiral with interest for a moment::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::puts the message on screen::
SO_EnsFarak says:
CSO: I do not believe it did sir, it was on the perepheri of our sensor range when it was first detected.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: Are they in weapons range?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: There is no image to put on the screen but the most dreaded voices are heard throughout the bridge "We are the Borg, lower your shields and surrender your vessel. You will be assimilated. Resistence is futile!"
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Not yet sir...
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::checks to see if there is anything being "fed" into the sensors::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
borg: Up yours.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::hears the message:: ALL:; yada yada yada, and you all gone have  bad hair day for life!
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Looks confused by the CSO' comment::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances at the Admiral for a second, he has a weird feeling::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO, FCO: My last warning.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::turns slowly to the CIV:: CIV: Drop the shields
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CNS: Open a channel to the ... Cube
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: The vessel is within weapons range sir...
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ALL: What
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
All: we are not surrendering.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ALL: I would rather be dead then a drone.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CIV: If I may say I wouldn't advise that.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: CNS: Ignore the request for now. ::Turns to the Admiral:: Adm: Care to explain yourself?
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::still unable to find anything so crawls deeper into the conduit::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks at maor:: Civ: Next card and I'm off?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: You will understand in time. If you want this ship to return in one piece drop your shields
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::angry:::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Looks confused by the unfolding scene around him::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::looks on at the CIV and Admiral::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Smiles faintly:: Admiral: They want you, don't they?
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CNS: Must i open that channel myself?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Sir, the cube is charging their weapons...
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::blinks:: CIV: They want many things
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
All: Let's fight them.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: The security breach if they got her sir to starfleet would be big.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Admiral: I think you should explain your logic before you expect us to sign our death warrant. with all due respect.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
All: Relax. ::Sighs deeply:: CNS: Open a channel.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::looks confused at the Admiral::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Speak then.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::keeps an eye on whether the cube is targetting them::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Looks toward the Admiral::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::looks to the CIV and nods as the channel is opened::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
COM: Cube: We surrender. Let this vessel follow it's course, I offer you it's command staff
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ADM: NO.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
COM: Cube: And me
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::Looks amazed:: Self: What the <censored>
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::crawls to the next bend and find a mass of something though what it is he is not sure.::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::gives the admiral a strange look::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::blinks:: Admiral: I wasn't aware bartering with the borg is on the to do list of the federation.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Shields, please
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ALL: She has gone mad you can't negotiate with borg.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
*CIV*:  Commander I have found what is blocking the power to the lift.  Something was in here though all that is left is a pile of melted something.
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Finds this situation difficult to believe::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CIV: Commander, Are we just going to comply
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: The CNS has a point, Admiral. What is stopping then from taking over all the crew once we'll drop the shields?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
:;waits for the CIV to give an order::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ALL: I will kill myself a borg then face assimilation.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: Suggest you notify Starfleet that  Amdiral  has gone wacky, sir
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::rumaged through his tool box then begins to remove the mass from the deck::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::looks into the CIV's eyes:: CIV: Trust me
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Trust has nothing to do with this, I have around 10,000 people lives on the line.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::points phaser at admiral::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CSO: Holster that weapon ensign
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CSO: You don't want a court martial on your hands Ensign!
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::His eyes widen at the CSO:: CSO: Stand down, Ensign! ::Turns to the CTO: CTO: Get him out of here.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::raises an eyebrow at the admiral:: Admiral: Perhaps if you were to explain the crew would find it easier to trust you, however you give me no reason to doubt your words.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::stands down::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Those lives will be spared, I guaranty it
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Looks shocked by the CSO's actions::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ADM: You don't know what the borg did to my family.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: How can you be sure of it? I have to know!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: I am
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: How?!
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::removes the mass and heads back out of the conduit::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: We are loosing precious time!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::keeps an eye on the CSO::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Then tell me!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Do you think you can fight that? I assure you, you can't. You have a crew to think of.
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Exactly, and most of them would rather die then be assimilated.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::nods at the admirals comments, moves his hand over the tactical console::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Finding it difficult to beleive the Admiral's promise of safety from the crew::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::walks over to the CSO:: CSO: How many borg are onboard the cube.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: They won't be ! ::almost yells::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::Scans the cube;:
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: How do you know that then?!
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CNS: Around 3000 drones the readings are scarce.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
Amdiral: I think I talk for  a big part of this crew that we rather die fighting then surrender!
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::comes out of the conduit and reattaches the panel and turns to see his engineering crew looking extremely nervous::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: You are worse than your captain, which is bad enough. I am your superior officer, I am telling you what I know for certain. Lower your shields commander
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
ADMIRAL: I know you can't negotiate with the borg. I have dealt with them before. I am el-aurian.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CTO; And immediately after we are beamed, bring them back up
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
Admiral: You can't order that!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::ignores the CSO concentrating on the CIV::
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
CIV: Sir, i think we should do what she asks, the fact that the cube hasn’t opened fire yet is proof enough to me that the admiral knows what she is going
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CSO: Thank you, and are there any signs that anything we see is not as it should be
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::relizes that someone probably Ens_Derfel has opened a line to the bridge and everyone is listening to the conversation on the bridge::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Indeed, you are. However, you're acting illogical. And I'll be damned if I'll have all their lives on my conscious
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::Scans to see lifesigns  also checks to see if there are any el-aurians.::
SO_EnsFarak says:
All: With all due respect sirs, if the cube wanted the ship, they would've most likely had it by now.
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::nods to the admiral:: Admiral: Yes ma'am
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CTO: Delay that order!
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Tell me how you know this and I'll do it, you have my word.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: You will have their lives on your consciousness, just as you have many other lives on your cousciousness, if you don't lower your shields. They are patient but not too much
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::moves to his console and reinitializes the lift power controls::
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CIV: I say fight and die with our boots on, sir!
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::moves his hand back over the tactical console, hovering over the shield controls::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Then tell me, that's all it will take.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CNS: I Can't tell the species. I was hoping to see some el-aurians.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: You will know as soon as we get there
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::Yelling:: all: Today is a good day to die.!!!!!!!!!
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::adresses his engineers::  All:  It seems we may soon have a battle on our hands I want damage control teams ready for whatever happens.  ::cuts the conn to the bridge::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: I sure hope you know what you're doing.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The cube fires on the Elara aiming for the shield generator. No real damage comes from it
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
CSO: Would you shut up for once, old man!
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Time urges Commander!
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
Admiral: Do you know this particular group of borg?
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::catches his console and checks his readings:: CIV: I think that was a warning shot sir
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::ignores the CNS::
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::watches as his crew slowly starts picking up there pace and working the way they should::
SO_EnsFarak says:
::Braces himself from the impact::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::very emotionally disturbed by all these events::
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::shrugs at the Admiral:: CIV: Call me mad but i have no reason not to trust her, yet i don't understand her logic she thinks she can really strike this deal.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CNS: There is now logic in dealing with the borg.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::turns back to the CSO:: CSO: Yes I fully understand that. Is there any evidence in any records that this admiral has had any experience dealing with the borg?
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
CSO: How far is the SF reinforcement?
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CNS: her records are classified
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::checks his readings on the lift power they may need them if the borg bord the ship::
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::checks the reinforcemnts
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CIV: Five hours sir.
SO_EnsFarak says:
CIV: The Borg appear to have practiced an element of patience thus far sir.
FCO-Ens-Exeter says:
::a few defiants, couple of Akira's would turn this Cube in mince meat::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: I want a reason, Admiral.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: I will take full responsability. Do not worry about your record
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
CSO: I know but we must be able to know some of the places she has seved for instance the station we just got her from and cross refference with any borg activity if they were around you can bet an admiral would know about it and get a good say.
SO_EnsFarak says:
CIV: That is certainly uncommon based on previous experience.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Save your crew
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: My record? My record means nothing.
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::cross references borg activity and where the admiral served::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: I have an odd feeling here..
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
CNS: NOthing of note ma'am.
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Feelings have nothing to do with it. I know
CTO_Lt_Mesme says:
::stands wondering whether to drop the shields or keep them up, and wondering how a borg cube got into the middle of federation space::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: By all means, enlighten me.
CEO_LtJrGr_Heller says:
::begins helping his crew with the preparation for the possible battle::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
CIV: Lower the shields
Host Admiral_Ix says:
ACTION: The cube fires again, this times shields drop to 50 %
CSO_ENS_La`tan says:
::sets phasers to full::
Host CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
Admiral: Not until you'll tell me what's going on here, because you're far too calm. Tell me how you know all of this.
CNS_Lt_Janan says:
::wonders when the admiral's rank will become an issue::
Host Admiral_Ix says:
::sighs and shakes her head::
