=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10602.19 - "Trans-Danger Part II"=/\=

Cosmo says:
The Elara floats in space in the Uztap system on yellow alert, awaiting the return of it's away mission that was sent out with one goal in mind; penetrating the anti-scan shield of the probe and retrieving it's data.

Cosmo says:
Their secondary goal is to destroy the probe. It seems to have great importance to Starfleet or maybe they are just overzealous or overestimating its secrets.

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The Tagus B just arrived at the Borg probe's location.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Sitting at the tactical station on the bridge::

Ens_Lost says:
::follows the counselor:: CNS: Sir, sir

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@ ::looking pensive:: CSO: Can you get a good reading on the probe yet?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@ XO, CSO: We're at the final orbital stage, eta is around a minute or so.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::turns around:: Ens: Oh hello, didn't see you there.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::prods at a few controls on his console and waits to see what will happen next::

Ens_Lost says:
CNS: I am Flight Control Officer Lost. The one they always keep in beta shift. did you know they even put a TO at the helm now? ::looks outraged::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: do you still have a good transporter lock on the away team?

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@::Looks at the screen of his console:: XO: Trying to sir, trying to. It is darn well protected. ::Mutters to himself a little.::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ens: Hmm, well I suggest you take that up with the Captain, Ensign.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ensign Oifer> ::Knocks on the entrance door:: CMO: Sir, I felt I should inform you that all stations are at yellow alert pre-prepped status.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::checks the transporter locks:: CO: Aye Sir, transporter lock is at full capacity.

Host Ens_Lost says:
CNS: He won't listen ...but that’s not the point. I want to make an appointment with you when possible

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
Oifer: Thank you, Ensign. ::Nods as she steps away back into the main sickbay, hopeful that they won't have to go to full alert status::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@ ::A flash on his screen attracts his attention.:: XO: Sir ::Holding his hand up:: I might have something here. The probe seems to power up a system of some kind.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::smiles:: Ens: Ahh, yes of course Ensign. Actually my list is empty, so whenever suits you. But at the moment I'm heading for the Bridge.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: Want me to get us out of here? ::Glances to the direction of the viewscreen::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CSO: What sort of system? ::rubs the back of his neck::

Ens_Lost says:
CNS: Early tomorrow perhaps? right after my shift ends

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: No, but keep a course plotted, and if our shields are not up already raise them.

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Looks around the bridge, waiting for something to come up to which he has to attend::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::console starts beeping:: CO: Sir, the probe is powering up some sort of system.

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@::Shakes his head:: XO: Not sure sir. Still not able to get a good reading.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: Indeed, they're up. Whatever you're planning to do, we better do it now.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Ens: All right, Ensign. I'll see you there.

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The probe starts to turn it's more uneven side twords the shuttle and keeps fallowing its trajectory

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: Noted

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO/FCO: Stay alert

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: And it started moving towards the shuttle now.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
Self: very strange

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::Slowly follows the shuttle to keep it in Transporter range::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::watches the probe turn on its axis:: CSO: Keep trying to scan that thing, and beam all our information back to the Elara.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances up in attention as the probe begins to rotate toward them, he glances down at his own console for a moment before glancing back at the XO's direction, waiting for orders. Or at least a sign that he lost it again.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: I don't intend to do anything, move us a little closer, perhaps that will help the CSO's sensors, but keep us away from the "uneven side"

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Turns his attention back to the console and looks through the sensor display::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::follows the Ensign to the TL::

Ens_Lost says:
::nods eagerly and heads to his quarters::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@::Nods:: XO: Aye sir, will do. Perhaps we'll... be.... errr... sir? I think I have a fix on that power thing. It resembles a signature of a small sized weapon. I suggest we raise shields sir.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
TL: Bridge.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Nods, he begins to compensate the shuttle trajectory in regards to the probe movement::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::sees incoming data from the shuttle and relays the information to the consoles of the various needed departments on the bridge, including CO's::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::only gets the word weapon and grits his teeth:: CIV: Keep us away from that weapon Mr Maor. CSO: Can you tell if this probe has any specific purpose or is it just there to bait us?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:; browses through the incoming data momentarily ::

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The probe fires some sort of weapon at the shuttle, powerful enough to knock out it's engines but still low yield

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::doesn't like this::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::steps out of the TL and enters the Bridge::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::console starts beeping rapidly:: CO: Sir! The probe has fired on the shuttle. They have lost engines. Shields holding.

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Grunts as the shuttle sakes, he curses as the helm station reads unpleased readings:: XO: Seems we're dead in the water now,  shields still holding though, surprising enough.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
All: that’s no probe

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::rocks in his seat slightly and mumbles:: *CO*: Pazoski to Timrok, we have been fired upon by the probe, request immediate beam-out and ask that you destroy this thing.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: try hailing the probe

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::hears the OPS, and grows concerned as he sits down in his seat on the other side of the Captain:: Captain: Captain. ::nods::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Aye sir. Opening hailing frequencies.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::prepares to move the Elara between the probe and the shuttle::

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Nods:: CO: Agreed sir, some sort of energy weapon.. Still waiting for more tactical  data on weapon type..

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@::Grabs his console as the shuttle rocks:: XO: Sir, we have been hit by an ion based weapon of unknown design.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::in the mean time prepares for an emergency beam out::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CSO: Is it consistent with any Borg weapon we have encountered before?

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The probe is not responding to hails

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: Mr. Maor, are the shuttles weapons still operational?

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@::Looks at the XO:: XO: SIR!... Better get us out of here. It's powering up to fire again. Can we return fire?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Sir, I'm unable to hail the probe.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
TO: Can we disable it?

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Nods in confirmation:: XO: Only helm is down from what I'm reading.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::looks annoyed:: CIV: Fire on it, try to take out its weapon systems

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: maybe it was an automated response.. opening fire

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::leans forward, watching the 'excitement'::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO: Can you disable the probes weapon systems from here?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Ready for an emergency beam out if necessary.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*XO* stand by

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: Uh, ::Looks at the probe for a moment before shaking his head in amazement and powers up the shuttle weapons:: are you sure we shouldn't be doing this from the Elara and not here while we're sitting ducks? ::Locks on target and waits for the fire signal:: On your mark.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
FCO: take us forward to the shuttle

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CO: Aye sir. ::moves the ship closer to the shuttle::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@CIV: Better hurry commander... it is about ready to fire... I doubt we can survive another hit!

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO: extend our shields around the shuttle then get a tractor lock on them - pull them back

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: I would love to. Just shoot the thing.

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Has his hand hovering over the weapon charging activation, his eyes on the sensor data:: CO: Sir, according to calculations, our shields should be able to withstand this weapon... Also, we should be able to take out the weapons system, yes sir..

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO: do it

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@::Nods, he fires whatever this shuttle has. Which mind you, isn't much::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::reroutes power to the shield emitters::

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Nods and presses the button, extending the shields around the shuttle, at the same time powering up weapon systems::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::moves the Elara between the probe and the shuttle::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: Captain, is it normal for the Borg to send a probe out this far on it's own?

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The probe fires again, this time without too much effect as it hits the Elara's extended shields

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::notices shuttle firing:: CO: Shield holding.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CNS: No, not to my knowledge

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Activates the tractor beam on the shuttle:: CO: Tractor beam activated..

Host SM_Lilia says:
ACTION: To an outsider this would be an awkward imagine indeed. The massive nebula class between two vessels about the same size. Hardly a battle of titans ... or is it?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
*XO* were bringing you back in

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: So is it possible that the probe is luring us into a trap?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks up from his information as he feels a tiny rumble. A very familiar one. That of shields being struck::

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
CO: Weapons coming online now, targeting scanners are set for the probe's weapon systems..

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::opens bay doors::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@ *CO*: Understood sir

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CNS: very, but that’s the risk you run when you are in an exploration vessel

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The shuttle's fire disabled the probe's weapon systems

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@::mumbles:: CSO/CIV: Well looks like our little field trip has come to a premature end

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
@::Sighs:: XO: Yes sir. Although we were able to disable its weapons. Should have another go perhaps?

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: Understood, though it strikes me as odd that no cubes have appeared. Maybe the probe's navigational systems malfunctioned.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::sees a red light on his console:: CO: Sir, the probe shows an increasing power spike of some kind. I think it would be best to back off to a safe distance.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Was oblivious to the fact they went to red alert, and mumbles to himself. Exits his office:: Oifer: Ensign ...

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
@XO: Something is very odd here, the probe is much too venerable. Something is amiss here.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Oifer> CMO: All medical stations throughout the ship at are at full alert. Available med. techs and nurse personnel are heading to assigned points.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Nods:: Oifer: Thank you.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Heads over to a panel and pulls up a damage report. Nothing's happened yet::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
FCO: when we have the shuttle back, put a little distance between us and the probe

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::initiates another scan on the probe::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
@CIV: I totally agree with you, this screams trap, I am glad I am not the only one to see it

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Sir, the shuttle is back in. ::closes bay doors::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::holds the Elara in its current position::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::when the shuttle touches down on the deck jumps up and makes for the exit:: CSO: Report to the bridge Mr. Nelson, the Captain will want you back up there. CIV: Mr Maor, you are free to continue your regular duties ::nods and heads out of the hatch::

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
CO: Weapon systems now seem to be disabled.

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Keeps working on scanning the probe... seeing whether he will be able to get through to it. After all, they were able to blast the weapon. Perhaps the data is protected in a different way.::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: any further energy readings we should be concerned about?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::gets scan results:: CO: Sir, the probe appears to be of the Borg. It's some kind of a transwarp beacon.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::makes a mental note to brush up on psychological trauma caused by the Borg::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::continues after a cross reference:: CO: It's used to transwarp to it from any Borg vessel.

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Looks up:: XO: Sorry sir... ::looks at his screen.:: I will transfer this info to my console on the bridge.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: to transport Borg drones to the device? or ships?

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::watches the probe very carefully with his finger on the button to move away at ludicrously high speed::

Cosmo says:
ACTION: A Borg sphere transwarps in the flick of an eye right next to the probe

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
Self: SH.....

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO: Red Alert

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Apparently it's a prototype. It seems that Borg vessels can transwarp to it without a conduit.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::sees a sphere:: Self: Blast.

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Activates red alert, his eyes wide:: CO: Red Alert, aye!

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO: open fire on the probe, destroy it before anything else comes through

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Has finished his transfer and is already on his way to the bridge, when he hears the red alert.:: Self: Now what? ::Starts to run::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::walks with purpose down the corridor and sees the lighting change:: Self: I hate being right...

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
FCO: Ready evasive maneuvers

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Notes that they've officially shifted to red alert:: Hhrm.

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The Borg sphere fires on the Elara disabling it's weapons

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Grabs a bio-bed as the ship rocks:: Damn.

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Nods and opens fire, giving it a full spread of photon torpedoes to digest, while the phaser start firing at it as well::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::grabs his armrests as the ship shakes::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::fingers fly over the console as he puts the ship into a steep dive turning 69 degrees to starboard:: CO: Already on it sir!

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::quickly runs a level 4 diagnostic on all ship's primary & tactical computer systems. Tar is given immediate notification of any significant change in the ship's power and computer systems while the bridge is given immediate notice of any change in the ship's readiness status::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<Nurse Teyna> ::Runs into Sickbay:: CMO: Someone said something about a Borg sphere coming in!

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Weapons are down!

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
Teyna: Not too surprised, all the stations are already at alert. Prepare the beds an the ICU unit.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
FCO: full retreat

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: all power to shields

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
Self: I knew it....::shakes his head::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Aye sir, rerouting all available power to the shields.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::Turns the ship away from the sphere and engages at maximum warp::

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::working to get weapons back as quickly as possible::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::catches onto the wall as the ship rocks slightly:: Self: That felt big ::taps a wall panel and brings up the data from the external sensors::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Walks over to a panel in the wall and inputs a code, unlocking the panel but not opening it. Inside are a stash of phaser rifles and phasers. Always locked in sickbay, but to be used in case of an emergency::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO: alternate shield modulation

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<Nurse Teyna> ::Sees what the CMO did:: CMO: You think we're going to be boarded?

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The Borg sphere shoots a spread of graviton torpedoes knocking out warp capability

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Falls from one wall to the other, as the ship was hit, just before arriving at the bridge. He regains his balance and runs on. The doors to the bridge open and he nearly stumbles in.:: All: What'd I miss?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Stumbles as the ship rocks again:: Teyna: You can never be too careful.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::hits his console... HARD:: CO: Dammit, we've lost warp engines Cap.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::grabs on to his console:: CO: Warp engines are down, shield strength down to 42%.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::rocks again as the ship is hit and grumbles, heads with purpose into the TL and sets its course to the bridge::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::digs his nails into the armrests::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: Seeing things go pear shaped very quickly :: OPS: transmit an SOS

Cosmo says:
<Borg Sphere> # COM: Elara: We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Does as the CO requested, setting the shields at a random rotation::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Oifer> ::Calls out reports as they come in:: CMO: Sir, stations near main engineering are reporting injured. No serious casualties.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CNS: you have a good nose for a trap

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::initiates a distress call on all frequencies including subspace::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::feels a chill run up his back:: CO: Sometimes I hate being right, Captain.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
MO: Tell them to transfer whoever down here to Sickbay as soon as possib -- ::Looks up at the sound of the Borg announcing their presence::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
::Glances up as the ship rocks again, with long sigh he continues his way toward one the nearest corridors. Much help on the bridge he won't be, perhaps somewhere else::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::exits the TL and sets out onto the bridge just catching the last words from the comm::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Oifer> ::Looks upward terrified::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<Nurse Teyna> MO: Ensign ...

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: Hearing the Borg say that back at the Academy was frightening...hearing it in real life is terrifying to say at least.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: blood runs cold as he hears the Borg introduction ::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CSO: Actually you're just in time... ::engages again at full impulse::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Oifer> ::Says nothing for a moment::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<Nurse Teyna> MO: Ensign ... now!

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Quickly makes his way to his console as he sees the sphere on the viewscreen.:: FCO: Thanks.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Oifer> ::Nods as Teyna yells at her, and moves to get the job done::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
TO: ready internal security for Borg incursion

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
All: arm yourselves - this is going to get ugly

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::nods and walks over to the nearest weapon cabinet::

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Looks up at the ceiling as the Borg's call comes through:: CO: Sounding general quarters, security teams dispatched... ::Presses a few commands::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::steps over to the CO:: CO: Captain, you know we will never be able to repel a full Borg attack, regulations are clear we need to set the auto-destruct.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::secures computer systems::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
FCO: anything you can do to buy us some time will be helpful

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::takes a phaser from underneath his console::

Cosmo says:
ACTION: The Borg sphere fires another full salvo at the now half crippled Elara disabling it's transporters and seriously damaging the ship. Or what's left of it.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::tries one more time to engage at full impulse then grabs his phaser from under his console::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::The ship is hit hard again, nearly falls to his feet as the lights flicker::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::retrieves 3 phasers and walks to the CO and XO, and hands them their weapons::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::almost falls over::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Sir, I've placed several security lockouts on the computer systems.

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Looks over his console as sparks spring from them:: FCO: Anything I can do to help?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: this ship isn't lost yet

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::falls off his chair:: CSO: Some Borg proofed shields might be nice!

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Last blast hit out the transporter systems. There are breaches on deck 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 and 12. Emergency shields in place.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::sits back down and arms his phaser::

CIV_Cmdr_Maor says:
*XO*: Commander, I'll be heading a security team near Main Engineering. I'll keep you posted.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
FCO: impulse status?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
CO: But it will be in a matter of minutes. We can always shut it off later.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CO: We can still outrun the Sphere at full impulse Cap. I just need a steady power supply to impulse engines.

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Walks over the weapons locker at the back of the bridge and gets a hand phaser:: Self: Better than nothing at all..

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Additional medical personnel start to arrive with the injured. Civilians and personnel with burn and shrapnel wounds are carried in. Moans and sobs are heard. He is overwhelmed by the feeling of fear, but keeps going::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
*CIV*: Best of luck, make your shots count.

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Grabs hold of... something:: FCO: I imagine. I got your back. ::Grabs his phaser and looks at the others, if they are alright.::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Kara Leyhart> CMO: Sir, where do you need me?

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: Captain, wasn't there a nebula close?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: Give him everything you’ve got ::motions to the FCO ::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
FCO: Go for it

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
Leyhart: We need to get some supplies that we may need if we're boarded, follow me! Teyna: Teyna, get to work. Call up ANY available personnel who were cross-trained in medical but don't have engineering skills. All the engineers will be needed. Call up any available science personnel!

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::reroutes all available power from warp engines, weapons systems, transporter systems to the impulse engines:: FCO: Go!

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::pulls himself back on his seat and flies at full impulse directly away from the sphere::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Runs out of Sickbay and across the corridor to the Medical Sciences ward with Leyhart::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CSO: Scan for any Nebulae, Asteroid belts -anything

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Sir, the sphere is low on impulse power.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::The Medical Sciences ward is barely lit. Power is fluctuating from the damage. A console has blown out in the room and sparks, but Mathar doesn't worry about that now. He runs over to a set of cabinets and inputs a code::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Nods and quickly returns to his console:: CO: Aye sir! ::scans the area, but it appears to be empty.:: CO: No chance sir. There is nothing close by. Only heading in a straight line might save us.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Leyhart> CMO: What are we getting?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::The code works and the cabinets open up with a gentle gust of cold air. They slowly expand outward, revealing a whole series of sets of syringes, vials, etc. He starts reading medical codes on each set::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::jinks the ship from left to right in a slightly erratic pattern to keep it out of a weapons lock::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CSO: is the sphere pursuing?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
Leyhart: Following Voyager's return to Earth, and subsequent dealings with the Borg in years past, Starfleet Medical has been developing a series of anti-nanite solutions. The hope is if personnel are in the first stage of Borg assimilation, that is nanite injection, we can fight it and give them a chance.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
CO: Which way Cap'n? deeper into federation space or into the neutral zone where it's less populated?

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
Self: There it is! ::Pulls out a few trays, and gives them to Leyhart. Gets a few more for himself:: Leyhart: If things get serious, I'll unlock the replicator codes for the solution.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
<MO Ens. Leyhart> ::Nods, and carries the trays back across the hall into Sickbay::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Follows::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
:: pauses a second :: FCO: neutral zone, if anything we might draw them away from federation space

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Sickbay is filled with several wounded officers who are already being treated for their injuries. A few security officers have arrived and stationed themselves at the entrances ... just in case::

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Nods at the captain:: CO: I'm afraid so sir. It is still behind us. I've been looking at possible colonies, but all I can come up with are agricultural ones. They have no defensive backup.

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Sir. ::heads for the neutral zone::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: Hopefully we might run into some backup, guarding the neutral zone.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
CO: At impulse I don’t think it is going to matter where we go, we are going to have to make our "stand" here.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: Alert Starfleet to the position of the transwarp device, they will have to send another ship to destroy it whilst we draw the sphere away

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::Raises his hand slightly:: CO: Might I suggest to call for help as well?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: We need time to get our systems functioning again, or it will be the shortest stand in history

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CSO: S.O.S is already sent

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Gets a PADD containing casualty reports from Oifer. 43 total casualties - 19 of those in serious condition. Personnel are currently moving them via hover-cart to the ICU::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Aye sir. ::hits some buttons and sends a message to Starfleet Command including the position of the transwarp beacon as well as the current situation the Elara is in::

FCO_LtJG_Sollo says:
::keeps the ship moving left and right but always toward the nearest point on the border to the neutral zone::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Sighs in relief at the note of none dead ... thus far. Thankful for the modifications Starfleet has made to this ship to ensure such low casualty rates ... for now::

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Sir, perhaps I could contact Admiral Swan for information? ::asks with urgency::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Transmits casualty report to OPS to report to the XO, and goes back to work. Some surgeries are ahead of him::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: Captain, do you think my services will be needed here or should I give the Doctor a hand in Sickbay?

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: our weapons are offline but we still have warheads onboard, if we could deposit them behind us like mines we might cause that sphere some harm

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
CNS: You are free to conduct your duties as you wish

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::turns to XO after reading the incoming report from sickbay:: XO: Sir, incoming causality report from sickbay: 43 injured, 19 critical. Most injuries on deck 8.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CO: Thank you Captain, I fear that my duties might be required in Sickbay. ::stands up::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::hears the OPS:: CO: And it seems like I'm right.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::walks to the TL, holding his phaser tight::

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
OPS: contact anyone you can, where's help when you need it

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
TL: Sickbay.

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods:: CO: We would have to manually arm and launch them though, we could remote detonate them, hopefully the Borg wont detect them... with your permission I will head to weapons control and get on it

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
XO: get to it

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::hails Starfleet Command, Admiral Swan::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
::Looks up as the power fluctuates again:: Self: This is not good. *OPS* Lieutenant Tar, I'm worried about losing power down in sickbay. I'm about to go into some SERIOUS surgeries which cannot afford interruption. I know we have some portable generators in storage, could you have a few delivered to the surgical wards?

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods to acknowledge OPS:: OPS: You tell our Doctors to keep them alive, I wont have anyone dying on us today.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::arrives on Deck 12 and starts running::

TO_Ens_Brethren says:
::Looking over the tactical sensors, making sure their path ahead does not have any nasty surprises::

XO_LtCmdr_Pazoski says:
::nods to the CO and heads into the TL, setting course to weapons control:: Self: Its going to be like dropping stones in front of a glacier...

CSO_LtJG_Nelson says:
::tries to keep working on his console as long as possible, keeping his phaser in his other hand.::

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::arrives at Sickbay:: CMO: Doctor, I am here to help.

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::hears the CMO on the comm.:: *CMO*: I'm sending down some OPS personnel with the generators. ::sends out a message to the OPS personnel to get the requested things done immediately::

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
*OPS* Thank you Lieutenant. ::Turns to the CNS:: CNS: Thank you. What medical training do you have?

OPS_LtJG_Tar says:
::console blinks:: CO: Admiral Swan responded. Putting him on screen now.

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
CMO: Unfortunately only basic, but I'm a quick study.

CMO_Lt_Raythan says:
CNS: Work with Ensign Oifer ::Gestures to the female Bolian:: She will bring you up to speed. I'll probably need you with some burn treatment, and perhaps have you sent out to various stations throughout the ship if you're in the mood for running around ...

CNS_Ens_Porter says:
::nods:: CMO: Yes sir.

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
COMM: ADM: Admiral we have a real situation here, the probe is a transwarp beacon and a Borg sphere just flew through it - we took a real beating and won't last much longer,

Host Admiral_Swan says:
ACTION: The Asian admiral's face appears on screen, not so happy as usual

Host Admiral_Swan says:
COM: USS Elara: I've analyzed your data and the situation is grave though not out of control

Host Admiral_Swan says:
COM:USS Elara: From the damage to the conduit we extrapolate it can't call for other vessels. we are sending the USS Caesar to destroy the probe

Host Admiral_Swan says:
COM: USS Elara: In the mean time, keep the sphere away from habited areas at all costs

Host Admiral_Swan says:
COM: USS Elara: That means going to open space. We will try to help you as we can

Host CO_Capt_Timrok says:
COMM: ADM: Already on it
