<Frank_SM> The USS Europa has just been rocked by an explosion.  Main power is offline, and the ships they just encountered are hunting for them.

<Frank_SM> <<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>

<XO_Durron> ::standing by the CO's chair::CEO: What happened?

<TO_Mar> ::transfers Operations to Engineering and moves off to the Tactical console::

<CEO_Calma> XO: We've lost main power!

<CIV_Chitwa> ::looks at the XO worriedly::

<CO_Farrel> CEO: Do we have auxiliary?

<TO_Mar> CO: Without main power, the weapons systems won't have much to go on unless we power down systems

<FCO_Kami> ::makes sure the ships cant keep up::

<XO_Durron> ::glances at the CO and than looks around the bridge quietly::

<TO_Mar> ::checks readings on power levels in the reserve phaser banks:: CO: We won't be able to hold them off for long without it. I might be able to get one or two hits out, but that's all.

<CEO_Calma> CO: Affirmative. ::anticipating:: I'll be in Engineering, getting the mains up. ::heads for the turbolift::

<TO_Mar> ::checks if torpedo systems might be able to still fire:: CO: Same goes with the torpedoes, though I think we could get a full spread out of them.

<Frank_SM> Action: Concussions from the "depth charges" are still being felt from time to time.

<CEO_Calma> TL: Main Engineering.

<XO_Durron> ::turns to the catian::CIV: Get on science, try and determine if they hit us or it was something else?

<CIV_Chitwa> ::gulps and looks around the bridge...nods at the XO and moves to the SCI console::

<CO_Farrel> FCO: Keep randomly changing our course, full impulse.

<FCO_Kami> CO: Aye ::continues as he had been, changing the course randomly::

<CO_Farrel> TO: Scan as best you can for the enemy ships, let me know as soon as you have a signal...

<CIV_Chitwa> ::looks over the console:: XO: Apparrrently it was a bomb...placed orrr beamed in.

<XO_Durron> Civ: Can you locate where it was detonated?

<CEO_Calma> ::arrives in ME and looks at the situation display, switching it to EPS display mode, looking for the location of the power interruption::

<XO_Durron> ::raises an eyebrow::

<XO_Durron> TO: What is the status of the shields?

<CIV_Chitwa> ::studies:: XO: Ummmm

<CO_Farrel> ::looks up, and with curiosity.:: XO/Civ: Bomb?

<TO_Mar> ::checks the shield readings on his console:: XO: Entirely down, sir.

<Frank_SM> Action: Another blast rocks the ship.

<TO_Mar> ::runs a simulation in which torpedoes are used to aid in the sonar system:: CO: Sir, remember the sonar tactic we tried?

<XO_Durron> TO: Thank you, Civ: Once you narrow it down contact Mr. Cal... ::Grips the CO's chair::

<CO_Farrel> Oh!  ::Grabs armrests for support, and holds her hair in place.::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::grabs onto the console to keep from falling over::

<XO_Durron> CIV: Never mind, run internal scans for unknown life forms.

<CEO_Calma> ::sees a large black spot across a primary EPS conduit and turns to the MSD:: All: All right, we need to reroute EPS around that location! We'll need to max out flow through minor systems till we can get it working again!

<CO_Farrel> TO: Very well, configure a photon to hone in on the enemies "sonar".

<XO_Durron> CO: It would appear that either someone is beaming explosives aboard or...

<CIV_Chitwa> ::nods to the Xo and whimpers under her breath::

<CO_Farrel> ::frowns.:: XO: Sound intruder alert, just to be safe.  

<Frank_SM> Action: The explosions around the Europa have stopped...

<TO_Mar> ::sets up a series of remote torpedoes:: CO: The problem is, ma'am, that we'd have to send out a whole spread at once. Power reserves can only handle so much right now. One volley is all we could send out.

<XO_Durron> CO: Aye sir. ::walks to a nearby console and activates the intruder alert:: *Shipwide*All hands, this is Commander Durron, Intruder alert.  This is not a drill.

<TO_Mar> ::checks his console's sensor readings:: CO: It seems we are no longer being attacked.

<CO_Farrel> ::Hears the explosions cease.:: TO: Very well, hold for now. 

<CEO_Calma> ::swears under his breath:: All: Phasers! Now!

<CIV_Chitwa> ::gulps::

<XO_Durron> ::walks back to the CO's chair and bends down than whispers::CO: Captain, without main power we can't win this tactically, sir.

<TO_Mar> *Security*: All teams, begin search patrols, all decks. Standard formations. This is not a drill. Seal off all decks once you've cleared them.

<CO_Farrel> ::Nods:: XO: You're right.  Our best hope is to evade them until main power is back...  

<TO_Mar> ::seals off the bridge and engineering, as well as a number of other key facilities, using level-10 forcefields and sealing bulkheads:: CO: All key facilities have been locked down, ma'am.

<XO_Durron> ::looks up noticing that the detonations have stopped:: Self: They've found us.

<TO_Mar> CO: They won't be breaking into the bridge and taking you this time.

<CEO_Calma> ::isolates the location:: Freeman: Freeman, you're with me! We're heading for deck 15! ::grabs an EPS repair kit, draws his phaser and returns to the turbolift::

<CO_Farrel> TO: Ensign, scan for any unauthorized subspace signals being transmitted from the Europa.  If we have a rat on board, it may be relaying our location to it's friends...

<Frank_SM> Action: Due to the damage to the Europa, all forcefield within the ship are not able to be activated.

<CEO_Calma> TL: Deck 15, section 52.

<XO_Durron> Civ: any luck on the internal scanners?

<TO_Mar> CO: Ma'am, internal forcefields aren't holding.

<CIV_Chitwa> XO: Mrrr. Durrron....the other ships hid a trrransporrrterrr beam in thierrr weapons firrre....I went overrr the rrreadings again.

<TO_Mar> ::activates a few commands:: CO: Permission to initiate bulkhead sealing.

<XO_Durron> CIV: Do you have the coordinates they beamed to?

<CO_Farrel> ::Nods:: TO: Very well.  and scan for any unauthorized subspace signals being transmitted from the Europa...

<CEO_Calma> ::emerges from the turbolift on deck 15 and looks out of the lift, phaser at the ready::

<TO_Mar> ::runs a scan of all inbound and outbound subspace frequencies:: CO: There are no communications that I can detect yet, ma'am.

<Frank_SM> Action: Internal sensors go off line.

<CIV_Chitwa> XO: No not yet.

<CO_Farrel> TO: Monitor transmissions for any change.  ::Moves to the weapons locker and grabs a phaser.:: ALL: Everyone arm yourselves.

<TO_Mar> ::initiates bulkhead sealing systems, informing the security teams to do the same, and then grabs a phaser rifle from the weapons locker at the aft of the bridge::

<XO_Durron> ::waits for the CO to return to her chair and than goes to the weapons locker and hands out the phasers around the bridge::

<CO_Farrel> ::Hears something short out.:: ALL: What was that?

<XO_Durron> TO: Where is it that the force fields aren’t holding?

<TO_Mar> ::checks his console to see if any of the forcefields are working:: XO: There isn't enough power to keep any of them running.

<CEO_Calma> ::satisfied that the corridor is empty, jogs to the nearest Jeffries Tube access, phaser at the ready, opens it and crawls in with Freeman following::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::whimpers::

<CO_Farrel> ::Looks over the master display.:: ALL: Internal sensors just went off-line.  CIV: Quickly, Kechara, run a scan to determine exactly where that system was cut!

<TO_Mar> CO: I'm monitoring the subspace background noise. just in case they've embedded a signal...

<CEO_Calma> Freeman: Should be just through this hatch.. ::opens the bulkhead to find a blasted, charred, dark tube::

<CIV_Chitwa> ::nods:: CO: okay Pawdufwi. ::types quickly on the SCI console::

<XO_Durron> TO: Are transporters functioning?

<CEO_Calma> ::taps his commbadge:: *CO*: Calma to Bridge. Captain, I've found the remnants of the source of our problem.

<CEO_Calma> ::draws a tricorder and begins examining the debris::

<TO_Mar> ::accesses transporter controls:: XO: Same thing, sir. Without main power, we're sitting ducks. Although if worse comes to worse, we might be able to use the transporters from one of the shuttles.

<CO_Farrel> *CEO* You went alone?  ::sighs::  That was awfully risky...

<XO_Durron> ::walks to the bridge MSD and looks at the flickering display trying to figure out where they will hit next.::

<CEO_Calma> *CO*: No, Gord's here. Captain, we've been sabotaged. An explosive device was placed directly on one of the primary EPS conduits. The upstream and downstream relays cut off the flow, but this was precisely placed, intentionally to disrupt main power.

<Frank_SM> Action: Another explosion is felt within the Europa, this time the targeting weapons fire control.

<CO_Farrel> *CEO* Do what you can to reroute power through secondary systems.

<CO_Farrel> ::Frowns as she reads the MSD.:: TO: Security teams to weapons fire control, on the double!

<CEO_Calma> *CO*: Aye sir. ::taps his badge again:: *ME*: Anne, get on top of rerouting power through secondary and tertiary systems; the EPS pipe in 1552's toast. Send a replacement team here to start rebuilding the conduit.

<TO_Mar> ::sends out a signal command to the security teams:: CO: They're on their way, ma'am. Though we've already lost control of the weapons systems.

<XO_Durron> CO: Permission to beam down to fire control using one of the shuttle craft's transporters?

<CEO_Calma> <McLaren> *CEO*: Got it. Rerouting now.

<TO_Mar> ::hears the XO and begins to set up a remote command link with the shuttles to do so:: CO: Permission to accompany?

<CO_Farrel> ::nods.:: XO/TO: Do it... get on his/her trial and stop them.

<XO_Durron> ::picks up a tricorder and sets it to scan for life signs and than picks up a phaser rifle::TO: Energize when ready.

<CEO_Calma> Freeman: Let's get back to the pit. ::turns around and begins the return to the corridor::

<TO_Mar> ::Looks over to the XO, then down at his rifle checking to see if its working, then hits a command on the console:: CO/XO: Energizing...

<CO_Farrel> ::Clears her mind, and closes her eyes.  Her mind reaches out to the ship, trying to sense an unfamiliar presence, trying to sense the alien.::

<TO_Mar> ::dematerializes in whir of blue light, only to reappear in the smoldering ruins of her once beautiful weapons fire control room; weapon at the ready::

<XO_Durron> ::materializes in fire control and dives behind a console than begins scanning the nearby area for unknown life signs::

<TO_Mar> ::scans the area and whispers:: XO: I don't like this, the security teams should be here by now.

<CO_Farrel> ::Her mind brushes with the familiar minds of the crew, searching for a mind she does not know...::

<XO_Durron> TO: You sealed the bulkheads remember, gonna slow them down.

<TO_Mar> XO: But nothing on this deck...

<CEO_Calma> ::emerges from the tube and jogs to the turbolift:: TL: Main Engineering.

<TO_Mar> ::motions to cover him, just in case, as he gets up and moves to the source of the explosion and begins scanning::

<XO_Durron> TO: Room clear. No one nearby. Darn it...::scans for unexplained radiation fields in the area::

<TO_Mar> ::gets a positive match on one of the components in the bomb:: XO:Trilithium resin, sir.

<XO_Durron> ::stops an thinks...::TO: If I were them I'd be heading for the computer core...you still able to beam us?

<CO_Farrel> ::Sighs and opens her eyes, massaging her temples.:: Self: Nothing...not even a shadow...  

<TO_Mar> ::accesses the shuttle's systems with his tricorder:: XO: Probably, but it'll be one way if we both go.

<XO_Durron> TO: Understood.  We'll get in touch with the bridge if we need to go somewhere else.  Scan for trilithum as soon as we are solid. Energize when ready

<CEO_Calma> ::comes out in ME:: McLaren: How's it coming, Anne?

<CEO_Calma> <McLaren> CEO: Taking a while. They did a hell of a job taking it out.

<TO_Mar> ::begins tapping in commands to the tricorder, initiating a remote site-to-site transport to the main computer core::

<CO_Farrel> ::Taps the security channel.:: *Sec* Security teams to all guard all critical ships systems that have not yet been destroyed.  

<TO_Mar> ::materializes behind the main computer record console and ducks for cover, scanning his surroundings::

<CEO_Calma> McLaren: Let's see if I can't speed things up. ::moves to the other side of the MSD and begins rerouting power through other systems, trying to provide a small number of systems for each of them::

<TO_Mar> <his surroundings = her surroundings::

<XO_Durron> ::materializes and dives away from the TO watching for movement his rifle tracking but hesitating::

<XO_Durron> ::mutters::TO: Anything?

<TO_Mar> ::looks at the XO and shakes her head::

<XO_Durron> ::scans the surrounding area for life signs::TO:Keep scanning, and get behind cover.

<TO_Mar> ::looks over at the XO, noticing he is looking at his tricorder:: XO: All clear, sir. No resin to be found, or people for that matter. And the bulkhead is still secured.

<Frank_SM> Action: The door to the computer core seems to shimmer for a moment.  Then two aliens materialize from nowhere, much like a Jem'hadar shroud.  The aliens appear to be Tarosian...

<XO_Durron> ::hunkers down covering the main door and continuing to scan for lifesigns::Self: I couldn't be wrong...could I?

<XO_Durron> ::sees the shimmer and fires not looking at the rifle's settings::

<CO_Farrel> ::Stops herself from comming the Commander, lest the sound of a comm. blow his cover.  But grows worried as he doesn't check in.::

<XO_Durron> TO: Heads up!

<Frank_SM> Action: One of the Aliens fire at the XO, but misses him, slightly.

<TO_Mar> ::ignores the XO's cry of warning and starting firing like mad, his phaser set to light disruption:: XO: Sir, aren't they Tarosian?

<XO_Durron> ::keeps firing at the two aliens shot after shot in their direction::

<Frank_SM> Action: One of the intruders is hit by the TO, the other manages to duck behind a bulkhead and then disappears.

<TO_Mar> ::hits one of the two dead on:: XO: One down, one to go.

<XO_Durron> ::swears and moves up to the one that fell than kicks the hostile's weapon away::*CO* Two hostiles aboard, One unconscious one...cloaked somehow.

<XO_Durron> ::crouches and scans the alien for some type of cloaking device::TO: keep me covered.

<CO_Farrel> *XO*: good work... keep hunting.  Security reinforcements on their way...

<TO_Mar> ::keeps firing towards the other Tarosian, providing cover for the XO and moving to his side::

<XO_Durron> ::looks at his arm and pulls at a device looking it over.::

<CO_Farrel> *XO* What species are they?

<XO_Durron> *CO* Tarosian, by the looks of things.

<CO_Farrel> ::frowns.::  *XO* oh no... I see.

<TO_Mar> <::keeps firing blindly, providing cover for the XO and moving to his side::>

<Frank_SM> Action: The alien appears to be going into some kind of shock.

<XO_Durron> ::nods and replaces the device on the alien's arm::

<CO_Farrel> *XO* What's the status of the down alien?

<XO_Durron> *CO* He's stunned.
