ACTION: The Europa is now approaching orbit of Casidio Prime.. so far, there is no response from the Breen scout ship.

CSO_Elaisya says:
<SO McClean> ::looks like she was woken from a daydream and starts:: CSO: I ...I don't know much about Casidia Prime sir except I hear they have nice beaches and a temperate climate

OPS_Taylor says:
*EO*: All systems Green.

XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Open hailing frequencies with the Breen ship.

CMO_Foley says:
MO: Well you did seem to become angry, very angry. But, I'm new at this so maybe I got it wrong... but that's what I felt.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Can you bring up the Breen ship's trajectory in-system and run a backtrack algorithm for possible entry points of it's backup?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CIV: We will cover you from Breen fire, one runabout remains in orbit while the other lands, ok

EO_Teal`c says:
*OPS* aye sir, inform me on any problems please; thanks

CSO_Elaisya says:
::wonders why the CIV would ask her to do this::

MO_Essex says:
::grins back:: CMO: only if it happens again sir.. besides I'm sure there are more important thing to take care of at the moment.. ::hold PADD up again:: I stopped in the station sickbay while we were docked..

CSO_Elaisya says:
::sends the information to the CTO and downloads it to a PADD handing it to the CIV::

CNS_Tsalea says:
XO:  Commander, Com lines are open, but I am getting no response from the archaeologist team.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
CSO: I'm sorry Lt, that's not what I needed. I need an entry vector postulation. You can broadcast it to the runabout when it's ready.

FCO_Sovok says:
::Programs some maneuvers Just in case::

XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Since its your idea, please do so.

MO_Essex says:
CMO: one of the plants I picked up from the station contains a chemical that aids in genetic restructuring of damaged tissue.. 

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::walks over to the CNS:: CNS: I don't think you'll get any response.

CSO_Elaisya says:
::Sighs:: CIV: Perhaps you could be a little more clear next time Lt Ahkileez

Host Breen says:
ACTION: No response from the Breen either..

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CIV: Lt Ahkileez, could I speak with you?

CSO_Elaisya says:
CIV: I'm doing that

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
CNS: Please keep an eye on the behavior of that ship, it might be useful.

XO_Zaldivar says:
*CIV*: Do not forget MO Essex.

CSO_Elaisya says:
::checks to see if the computer has come up with an entry vector for the Breen yet::

MO_Essex says:
::smiles: CMO: oh I like it.. perfect large crystal structure, nice red and pepper minerals.. where did you get this?

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
*XO*: Of course not Sir.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
*MO*: Doctor Essex, please report to the shuttlebay now, we're ready to depart.

CMO_Foley says:
MO: Some Ferengi on the station, but despite the source, It's quite nice I think.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::"wow, he is all a tactical expert, where did he learnt that so advanced ideas"::

CNS_Tsalea says:
CSO:  Are you receiving any life form readings from either the Breen ship or the Archaeological team?

TO_K`Tracht says:
CIV : Sir, I took the liberty of packing a few weapons in our shuttle.. Just in case..

MO_Essex says:
::looks at the ceiling and then back at Dave:: CMO: sorry.. umm.. ::hands him back the rock and grabs a med kit.. running to the TL:: CMO: it's beautifully.. I'll see you when we get back!

XO_Zaldivar says:
COM: Breen: You have 10 minutes to respond peacefully.  If you choose not to respond we will take more drastic measures.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
TO: You'll have to be extra eyes now that we're a man down Okay?

TO_K`Tracht says:
::tries to hide the fact that he doesn't like Jyg’Lo one bit::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::checks her scans of the ship and planet again:: CNS: checking...

Host Breen says:
@COM: Europa: We are on here on scientific exploration, much like yourself. In accordance with the Breen-Federation Treaty, we are legally allowed to claim this planet as our own.

CMO_Foley says:
::smiles:: MO: I'll be here. ~~~Stay safe...~~~

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:

MO_Essex says:
::enters the shuttle:: TO: hi! you called?

Host Breen says:
@COM: Europa: You may ask.. but we are under no obligation to tell you.

CMO_Foley says:
::enters sickbay:: Cross: Report.

TO_K`Tracht says:
::the three security members around the shuttle join him in the shuttle with the CIV:: Civ: yes sir..

FCO_Sovok says:
::tries to ignore the conversation going on behind and above him as he tries to program some new maneuvers::

TO_K`Tracht says:
MO :Actually, he did.. ::snickers::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COM: Breen: I was being polite. We have signed a treaty true. but Starfleet claimed this planet before the Breen.

CNS_Tsalea says:
::picks up the CNS mumble.  Gets up and walks over to the Elaysian::

CMO_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> Sickbay is prepared to treat 3 major and 12 minor victims sir. I thought that would be the best arrangement.

MO_Essex says:
::looks at the CIV with a frown and adjust medical tricorder::

TO_K`Tracht says:
::goes sit down in the co-pilot's seat, and starts the pre-launch sequences on the shuttle::

CSO_Elaisya says:
<SO McClean> ::finishes her diagnostics of ship SCI systems and sends the info to OPS::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
TO: Let's get ready to rock then. TO/Sec/All: Keep your eyes and ears open. We don't know what's down there and we have to be prepared. So stay sharp.

CMO_Foley says:
::nods:: Cross: Very well.

CSO_Elaisya says:
::looks up at the CNS::

CNS_Tsalea says:
CSO:  Report please.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::following the conversations, places the finger in THE button::

CSO_Elaisya says:
CNS: I'm working on it sir ::grimaces::

MO_Essex says:
::takes a seat in the back of the shuttle and open the medical kit.. pulls out the extra supplies and looks for the shuttle's kit::

TO_K`Tracht says:
MO : Would you be so kind as to distribute those around? ::points to the bag on the back of the runabout, which contains 5 type 3 Phaser rifles, one Plasma grenade launcher, and five type 2 phasers::

CNS_Tsalea says:
CSO:  There is a problem?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
FCO: We are covering runabout with our shields, prepare all the necessary maneuvers

::works on bringing engine performance up to 100%::

CMO_Foley says:
::taps comm badge:: *XO* Sickbay here, we're fully prepared.

MO_Essex says:
::looks up from the medical kit:: TO: sure.. ::closes it and look in the bag:: self: by the rings of Saturn! 

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS/EO: Get ready I think we are about to have a major systems drain.

CSO_Elaisya says:
CNS: However...::punches some buttons and the view changes to show the eastern hemisphere of the planet:: I can tell they are here

Host Breen says:
@COM: Europa: It should be noted that we will have reinforcements in orbit in less than 6 hours..  however, if you still wish this to be a peaceful confrontation, we will allow you access to the Western hemisphere. We will keep control of the Eastern hemisphere.

CNS_Tsalea says:
::nods::  CSO:  Source of the ionization?

EO_Teal`c says:
XO: aye sir

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::walks over to one of the comm consoles:: *XO*: Sir, latest information from SFI is bad news. It seems the Breen have been toying with their engines and their ETA looks like 4 hours, not 6.

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye.

CNS_Tsalea says:
::looks down at the screen, then lightly touches some buttons::  Hmmm...

EO_Teal`c says:
*XO* sir Engines at this moment are at 98.6%

CSO_Elaisya says:

SO: Yes Lt?

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::takes one of the command chairs and gets ready:: TO: Whenever you're ready, take us out. Use an aggressive descent vector.

CNS_Tsalea says:
::looks up::  XO:  The life signs of the archaeologists seem to be located in the eastern hemisphere of this planet.

CMO_Foley says:
::settles in for the worst part of his job, waiting for casualties to arrive, not knowing the situation::

CSO_Elaisya says:
XO: There are 5 Breen and 3 scientists in the Eastern Hemisphere of the planet

TO_K`Tracht says:
MO : That grenade launcher is mine.. I don't think you know how to work that thing? ::smiles impishly::

EO_Teal`c says:
::works on system; preparing for the drain and ready to reroute power::

FCO_Sovok says:
Self: Guess I am not going to get time to test these new maneuvers..

MO_Essex says:
TO: I gave that to the SEC over there.. But I don't want to be unarmed.. ::takes a seat and looks over the ruffle with a grin.. begins to check it's settings and the fit the power cell:: 

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COM: Breen: Thank you for the pleasant reminder. Your reinforcements are noted.  You have 15 minutes to remove all Breen crew from this planet.  Since you have been so pleasant I will remind you...I don't bluff.

FCO_Sovok says:
::Smiles at the XO anticipating action::

CNS_Tsalea says:
::looks at the XO with raised eyebrow::

CSO_Elaisya says:
<SO McClean> CSO: Sir...ummm...well I believe you could pinpoint the location of the Scientists if you compensated for the Ion Storms over the area by utilizing the deflector to increase the power of your scans.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::really likes the XO style::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::sighs thinking the XO is a tad to brash::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::calls one of the Sec officers over and assigns her to man the weapons console::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:

TO_K`Tracht says:
*OPS* : Runabout Crispa ready to launch.. Can you get permission for us?

CSO_Elaisya says:
::glances at the SO:: SO: Good idea...make it happen

EO_Teal`c says:
Self: good engines at 99% only 1% to go

CNS_Tsalea says:
XO:  Indeed... however, I am greatly lacking in information at the moment.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::opens a comm again:: *FCO*: We need immediate departure clearance. Runabout 1.

OPS_Taylor says:
*CIV*: You are cleared.

MO_Essex says:

FCO_Sovok says:
Self: Fine take away my job..

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
*OPS*: Thanks. Wish us well, Crispa out.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
TO: Let's go.

TO_K`Tracht says:
*OPS* : Thank you.. ::powers up the thrusters, and slowly maneuvers the shuttle out of the Europa's shuttle bay::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::watches as the Crispa is suddenly swimming in stars:: TO: Do you have the latest Nav information from the CSO?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO/FCO: Of the Breen make any move against the shuttle craft respond with one, only one, warning shot.  If they do not respond ensure the shuttles safety at your discretion.

CNS_Tsalea says:
XO:  The current facts, there are five Breen down on the planet and three archaeologists with faint life signs.  We have one Breen ship in orbit requesting us to either leave or offering us the western side of the planets hemisphere while they keep the other half.  That in itself is most curious.

CMO_Foley says:
::smiles and tries not to be so obvious in his thoughts::

MO_Essex says:
::finishes the weapons inspection and sets it on the floor upright.. places the power cells in belt next to tricorder in a pouch  and opens the med kit again::

@Civ : You read my mind...

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COM: Breen: You have 10 minutes.  I do not wish for this confrontation to become hostile.

CMO_Foley says:

FCO_Sovok says:
::puts his fingers in the engage button::

EO_Teal`c says:
*XO* engines at 99.9% sir, sorry best I can do while there on

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
XO: sir, they are targeting our runabout

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::watches his sensors:: CIV : Sir.. We're being targeted..

CMO_Foley says:
::turns to Cross:: Yes Chief.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: Evasives, but don't lose ground.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
EO: Good job Mr. Teal'c.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::preps evasive maneuvers, brings shields online:: Sec officer : Bring weapons up.. We might need them promptly..

OPS_Taylor says:
::Transmit data to the runabout on secured link::

TO_K`Tracht says:
<Sec Officer> To  :Aye sir..

CMO_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> CMO: She'll be fine sir. ::smiles slightly::

FCO_Sovok says:
::Engages a minor maneuver to Put the ship into a good defensive/offensive position:: XO: Engaging evasive patter Sovok beta 2.

CSO_Elaisya says:
::looks over the SO's shoulder to see how her work is coming::

TO_K`Tracht says:
@CIV : Might I suggest we send the other shuttle to keep them busy?

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
<SEC> ::powers up the phasers and loads the micro-torp tubes:: TO: We're hot Sir.

CSO_Elaisya says:
SO: Are we ready to do this?

Host Breen says:
ACTION: The Breen ship launches two torpedoes... one strikes the runabout, the other strikes the Europa... the Scout ship immediately begins maneuvering away from the Europa.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: You know how to respond Mr. Nimitz

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::brings the ship to a roll, so their profile is the lowest in relation to the Breen ship::

CNS_Tsalea says:
::grabs onto the console::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: No warning shot.

CMO_Foley says:
::chuckles for a second:: Cross: That obvious huh? Well, thanks for your support Chief.

FCO_Sovok says:
::Engages a course to follow the Scout:: XO: Engaging a Pursuit Course

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::fires a warning shot, but powerful enough::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
TO: Do that, Dispatch the second shuttle, full torp spreads.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
<Sec> ::targets the Breen's nacelles and fires::

MO_Essex says:
@::sits back and hold the riffle tightly.. gets thrown from seat at impact:: self: ooof! ouch.. ::gets up::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Do not leave transport range. I don't want to abandon the AT

FCO_Sovok says:
XO: Aye sir

Host Breen says:
ACTION: The runabout's shields are holding... the scout ship’s weapons are relatively weak.

EO_Teal`c says:
::checks system::

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::feels the blow:: CIv : Ays sir.. ::comms the other shuttle to pursue the Breen scout vessel::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Reroutes power to shields from non-essential systems::

CSO_Elaisya says:
XO: We are ready to proceed...we have determined that the Breen are coming from Breen territory. nothing more specific is forthcoming at this time....and we are prepared to utilize the deflector shield if you will approve such use to tighten and strengthen the Scans of the planet thereby locating the Breen soldiers and Scientists more specifically

CMO_Foley says:
::ship lurches with the shot:: Cross: This is it... man your station and prepare to receive wounded.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@Civ : That was a minor blow.. Returning to full speed headed for the planet..

CNS_Tsalea says:
XO:  Suggest we place the ship between the Breen and the shuttle.

FCO_Sovok says:
CNS: good idea

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
TO: Excellent. Sec; Keep up return fire, disable their ship.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CSO: Excellent, once we have neutralized the scout ship we will execute your plan.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
XO: quantums at your order sir

CMO_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> ::swallows and nods::

MO_Essex says:
::gets back into chair a bit annoyed:: self: men drivers.. ::pulls out a few emergency rations and places them in the kit::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
<Sec> ::fires another burst of m-torps at the nacelles::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Just neutralize them, do not wait on my orders. Save the big guns for the big ships.

CSO_Elaisya says:
::smiles at the SO:: SO: Good job Lt.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: Once we're in the atmosphere cut the anti-graves, emergency descent.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: The CNS made a good suggestion protect the shuttles while we engage the Breen.

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ MO: Get ready, this might be bumpy.

CSO_Elaisya says:
<SO McClean> ::characteristically silent::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: did I forget to ask for Red Alert?

FCO_Sovok says:
XO: Engaging a Course that will put us in between the Shuttle and the Breen

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::fires phasers on Breen weapons, shields and warp system::

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::grins at the CIV:: Great idea sir.. All : Everyone.. Hang on.. this is going to be rough.. ::and especially to the MO:: I think you should take one off those sickness hypo's.. Ma'am.. ::grins::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::concentrates fire on Breen weapons and comm array::

MO_Essex says:
@::shrugs at the TO::  TO: thanks.. I'll keep that under advisement

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
XO: Sir I'm firing to the communication array so the reinforcements will be unaware of the battle

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ COM Europa: Could you bring the ship into synchronous orbit over us when we're down? That might discourage attacks from the Breen landing party.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Very good, continue your attack.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
COMM: Breen: Do you wish to relent?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::fires again::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ ::reads the approach data, but it's not very helpful:: Self: Damn...

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::signals the second runabout to cease their attack, since the Europa is handling them., and to follow them and be orbiting above their landing site::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::fires again to back up XO's words::

Host CO_Senn says:
::exits her RR and approaches Zaldivar, letting him continue the one-sided talk to the Breen::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: ETA to ground?

CMO_Foley says:
::notices the lack of wounded entering sickbay:: Cross: So far so good Chief.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@CIV : Shortly, sir.. Shortly..

Host Breen says:
ACTION: The Breen ship maneuvers deep into the atmosphere... below the stratosphere (which is the layer that is ionized).. the Europa's sensors detect several transporter beams..

CSO_Elaisya says:
::glances over at the CO wondering why she would be in her ready room this whole time::

CNS_Tsalea says:
::nods at the captain::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: Good, let me know when we're at T-minus 1 minute.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::the shuttle enters the atmosphere: All : Here we go.. ::cuts the anti-grav units, and the shuttle starts falling like a rock, with his nose down.. KTracht grins::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at the Counselor:: XO: I guess it's time to stop talking?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
XO: Sir, they have crossed the ionization layer

MO_Essex says:
@::holds to the seat and looks at the security officer to her right::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ ::hears his console beep:: Self: Uh oh...

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CO: Welcome back Captain.  Decided that I shouldn't have all the fun? ::rises from her chair::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::glances back down at the computer checking for those Breen reinforcements::

MO_Essex says:
@::goes weightless and floats toward the ceiling:: TO: hey!

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
XO: I am detecting several beamings

CNS_Tsalea says:
::looks back at the sensor scans, then with a frown points to the energy reading::

Host Breen says:
ACTION: Either by auto-pilot, or a suicidal pilot, the Breen scout ship maneuvers towards the Europa on a collision course!

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CSO: Stop everything you are doing! Did the Breen beam the Archaeologists on to their ship?

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ <Sec> CIV: Transports detected.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::looks back at the MO:: MO : I warned you to strap in..

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::fires all torpedoes::

FCO_Sovok says:
::Engages evasive Maneuvers::

CSO_Elaisya says:
XO: Sir?

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Target only COMM and engines for now.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
<a full load of course>

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes her chair:: XO: Which reminds me I would have paid to go on the shuttle. The Breen won't relent... we'd better fire seriously.

EO_Teal`c says:
::checks systems again::

CSO_Elaisya says:
XO: beaming is impossible with all that ionization....

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ SEC: I know, track their materialization points and feed that into the nav computer.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@Civ : Send the other shuttle to pursue the runabout.. Sec : Are we still detecting the scientists down on the planet?

MO_Essex says:
@::grabs at the chair as a security officer pulls her back to her seat::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::checks again::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CSO: Scan their ship for fed life signs.

CNS_Tsalea says:
CSO:  There are energy readings occurring here ::pulls up the record::  Perhaps...

CSO_Elaisya says:
XO: I'm sorry sir, I'm not sure how they did it, but The Breen beamed everyone off their ship onto the planet.

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
FCO: Evasive.

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods approvingly at the FCO, who moved the Europa away just in time::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CTO: Quantum.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::fires heavily on the Breen::

CSO_Elaisya says:
XO: They also beamed down several cases of weapons and no there are no federation people on the ship

FCO_Sovok says:
::gets ready in case the shuttle changes course::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: No, the Europa can deal with the Breen ship much better than the runabout can.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::fires quantums again, aiming at the engines::

EO_Teal`c says:
::System power at 97%::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CSO: noted, thank you

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
<SEC> CIV/TO: I'm reading a lot of Breen life signs on the surface. Looks like a few dozen.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::taking the life readings, and steering the runabout to their location:: CIV : Sir.. I've got the Scientists.. What do you want me to do.. Beam them up? Or continue down to the planet?

Host Breen says:
ACTION: The Breen scout ship splits into several pieces from the explosions... a piece of the ship escapes the volley though, and slams into the Europa's shields..

Host CO_Senn says:
::thinks... from the bride status she pulled up in the RR and what is going on:: XO: I guess you will have to go to the planet after all Number one. Our AT will be slightly undermanned as things go.

CMO_Foley says:
::glances at the monitor showing the main viewscreen:: Oh my... brace for impact...

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Send that transport data to the AT now.

FCO_Sovok says:
::Gets his new 'roll and dive' maneuver ready just in case::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: Land near them, well perform medical care then move them and come back for the ship.

CSO_Elaisya says:
::grabs her console trying to steady her self as the ship rocks::

EO_Teal`c says:
*XO* system power at 97% sir

FCO_Sovok says:
::Stands down the maneuver seeing that the ship has been.... taken care of::

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::nods:: CIV : Aye sir..

CSO_Elaisya says:
<SO McClean> ::Stabilizes the CSO::

Host CO_Senn says:
::glad she's sitting down as the ship rocks a tad::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Sends Transport coordinates to the shuttle::

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Damage report

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::the ground closes fast, as KTracht continues the vertical descent::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::Looks at her console and gasps:: XO: Sir ....

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
CO: I guess I wi...::falls forward onto the helm::

CMO_Foley says:
::grabs onto the biobed but doesn’t fall::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO&XO: shields are down, Breen destroyed, several systems failing

CNS_Tsalea says:
::assists the CSO::

MO_Essex says:
@::hold to the seat.. wondering if they are going to crash into the planet's surface::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ MO: Get ready to take people on the runabout very hastily. We're going to do this quick.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
*All decks*: Send your reports

CMO_Foley says:
Cross: Chief, are you alright?

FCO_Sovok says:
::puts his hand to his head as he removes it he sees blood from when his head impacted onto the console, ignores it and continues his duties::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::watches the reports of various damage flowing in since she tapped into OPS console earlier::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Power grids fluctuating::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CEO: we need a report about all systems

MO_Essex says:
@CIV: right.. ::grabs equipment:: All set

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::as the ground approaches almost dangerously, he pulls the runabout up, and slows it down, beginning landing maneuvers right next to the scientists readings::

EO_Teal`c says:
::looks at console and sees shields down and several other systems::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
::stands::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::glances at the CNS:: CNS: Sir...it's not good

CMO_Foley says:
<MO_Cross> ::gets up and nods:: Yea, I'm fine sir. ::goes over to the display:: Getting casualty reports from all over this ship

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: I need damage reports.

FCO_Sovok says:
::Wipes most of the blood off on the black of his uniform getting maneuvers ready::

MO_Essex says:
@::stands and gets ready to exit the ship::

OPS_Taylor says:
XO: Aye.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::a few seconds later, the runabout touches down:: All : Ladies and gentlemen. We're here.. ::opens the hatch:: MO: will you do the honors?

CNS_Tsalea says:
::picking up someone’s pain, looks over at the FCO.  Grabbing a med kit she walks over to quietly attend to him::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ ::gets up:: Sec Officers: All right, get up and look alive. We'll move out first and scan the perimeter. Two of you stay with the Doctor and get the scientists.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::unstraps himself, and gets ready to leave..

EO_Teal`c says:
*CO* I will have system status in a couple mins sir

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
*EO*: We need that report please

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
<Sec Officers> ::leave the shuttle first and fan out::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
OPS: Did you get in touch with the AT?

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::follows his officers out, plasma launcher ready::

Host CO_Senn says:
*EO* Shields and weapons our priority, Ensign. Keep that in mind and start working.

Host Breen says:
ACTION: The Away Team loses contact with the Europa... as far as they know the Europa was destroyed. (They DID see an explosion up in the sky)

CMO_Foley says:
::the injured start to flow into sickbay and he and Cross move through them, treating the worst cases and deciding on who can wait::

EO_Teal`c says:
*CTO* working on it sir

TO_K`Tracht says:
@CIV : Sir.. Maybe we should contact the Europa..

MO_Essex says:
@::follows the security team and scans the area.. while scanning she looks up:: self: oh no.. David

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ ::watches the sky:: All: Let's go. We have a job to do.

EO_Teal`c says:
*CO* aye sir

CNS_Tsalea says:
::finishes::  FCO:  You will be fine, but at the end of this, check in with medical.

FCO_Sovok says:
::looks over at the CNS:: CNS: thank you.

CSO_Elaisya says:
XO: Sir, shields are nill, damage reports from all over the ship....

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
*EO*: all right

OPS_Taylor says:
::Tries Hailing AT:: XO: No response, I lost contact.

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::had noticed the explosion in the sky, but remained focused on his task:

CMO_Foley says:
::more injured come in and are delegated to sitting on the biobeds in pairs::

Host CO_Senn says:
::frowns... does not like lack of comm with the AT::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ TO: Take two with you and reconnoiter, I'll stay with Doctor Essex.

MO_Essex says:
@::chokes back tears and swallow down the pain.. shrugs and gets ready for a fight::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Breen are three hours from here, and we don't have shields, I suppose we'll have to be VERY creative

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::moves with the security officer, heading for the life-sign coordinates::

EO_Teal`c says:
*CO* Shields well they’re down, Engines at 62%, power system at 58%, and several small system failures; not much damage on weapons sir

TO_K`Tracht says:
@::nods, and scout ahead, two of his officers in either side of him::

Host XO_Zaldivar says:
all: Damn! ::slams fist into the helm::

CIV_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
@ ::walks over to the MO::  ~~~~ MO: We can't worry about up there now, let's go. We have people down here we can save.~~~~

CMO_Foley says:
::treats a crewmember with plasma burns to the face and arms::

FCO_Sovok says:
::Gets startled looking up at the XO::

CSO_Elaisya says:
::starts at the XO's use of vulgarity::

CNS_Tsalea says:
::feeling a flood of emotions from the ship, narrows her personal shields::

MO_Essex says:
@::opens medical tricorder and begins to scan the area.. looks at the CIV with anger::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::searching for the transporter ship that brought the archaeologists::

Host CO_Senn says:
*EO* All right, shields and power grid first, don’t overlook the engines

CSO_Elaisya says:
<SO McClean> ::giggles overwhelmed by nerves::

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: We shall see how creative we can get.

CNS_Tsalea says:
CO/XO:  Perhaps we should retrieve our team before the Breen arrival...

CMO_Foley says:
All: If you're not seriously wounded, pick up a tricorder and help.
