Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa is escorting the freighter Shrack through hostile space and are currently being intercepted by an unknown warship.  It is only a few minutes till they will be in weapons range.
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>
CO_Durron says:
::sitting on the bridge looking at a sensor read out on his arm rest::  *All* Status Report.
FCO_Kami says:
::Sitting at his post, adjusting and readjusting his attack run course.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::follows EO to engineering::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: What is the time to intercept?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::trots after the CTO and EO::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Ten minutes to go, sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::enters engineering and walks over to the tool area and pulls out the modified mini holoemitters for the mines::  ALL: OK here are the mini holoemitters for the mines lets get cracking.
CTO_Wolf says:
::moves over beside EO:: EO: Lets do it ma`am
CNS_Chitwa says:
EO: I've neverrr done anything like this beforrre.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::heads for the torpedo room and begins to crack them open one at a time and giving each of her team instructions how to higher the yield and how to insert the holoemitter::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Can you buy us more time?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS: Nothing to it  just watch me and do the same.  CTO: You do the same as well.  With three of us doing this we will be done in no time.
CTO_Wolf says:
::opens control panel on torpedo and begins to adjust yield::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods and mimics the EO::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The Warship Kaeshi transmits another message, this one with visual.  Once again they are warning that the Shrack will be destroyed if they are not allowed to board and inspect it.
CTO_Wolf says:
::looks over at the EO:: EO: these jokers sound like a broken record
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::adds more explosives to the yield and removes part of the propulsion but not enough to damage the range and inserts the mini holoemitter and hooks it up to the power supply unit and closes the casing::  ALL: There is one done . Did everyone see what I just did?
CO_Durron says:
*CTO/CNS/EO* You have five minutes.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
*CO*: With three of us it will be done one down 9 to go.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Yes, sir. ::Speeds up the ship to buy more time.::
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the message, than puts it up on the view screen::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::begins on her second and repeats the process::
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: aye ma`am
CTO_Wolf says:
::mimics the EO`s actions::
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: Done ma`am
CTO_Wolf says:
::moves onto next torpedo::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Keep the engagement zone well back of the Shrack.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
ALL: How many we got done so far?
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: nearly done with second
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CTO: OK that is three, CNS: How you doing.
CTO_Wolf says:
::finishes second torpedo and closes access hatch and moves onto number 3::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
*CO*: Three down and ready sir.
CO_Durron says:
*EO* Very good.
CTO_Wolf says:
::opens hatch on number 3 and repeats process, wipes sweat off brow::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::works on the fourth::
CO_Durron says:
::smiles slightly at the screen:: COMM: Kaeshi: This is Captain Durron aboard the Europa, to whom am I speaking?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::finishes up the fourth and moves on to the fifth::
CO_Durron says:
::taps out a message on his armrest and sends it to the CTO, EO, and CNS telling them to prepare to launch the mines on his signal.::
CNS_Chitwa says:
EO: I have 3 done
CTO_Wolf says:
::finishes number 3 and turns to EO: EO: how many you want done?
Host Kaeshi_CO says:
@COM: Europa: I am Captain Mina of the Thaurian Alliance.  The ship you are escorting is suspected of carrying illegal weapons shipments.  Stand down immediately and prepare to be inspected.
CO_Durron says:
COM: Kaeshi: What evidence do you have to support this claim?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CTO: WE got orders to launch on CO's signal.  So far we got five ready. Five more and that is it.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: Aye ma`ma
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::taps on her console:: *CO*: Five ready to fire Five more being worked on.
CTO_Wolf says:
::turn to do number 6, opens access hatch and starts again::
CO_Durron says:
::looks at his combadge, and flicks it to 'silent' quickly than resumes smiling at the person on the view screen.::
Host Kaeshi_CO says:
@COM: Europa: We have our intelligence resources... you will comply or be dealt with harshly.  If they are not carrying the weapons, you will be allowed to pass.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::begins on number 7 and modifies it::
CTO_Wolf says:
::finishes 6 and turns attention to 8::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CNS : How you doing there?
Host Kaeshi_CO says:
Action: The Kaeshi reaches weapons range of the Europa, but does not fire.  They are far more intent on pursuing the Shrack apparently.
FCO_Kami says:
::Watches the Kaeshi's course as well as that of the Shrack and the Europa and adjusts that of the Europa to keep it in the correct place.::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: We are within the Kaeshi's weapon's range, sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::finishes 7 and heads for number 9 and begins its modifications::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::taps on her console::*CO*: 8 ready to go sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
::looks around at the CNS:: CNS: You doing ok ma`am
CO_Durron says:
COM: Kaeshi: My employer is of the belief that you are pirates and will seize his cargo.  I regret to inform you that I can not allow you to board either vessel.  Please retreat beyond weapons range or I will be forced to fire upon you.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CTO/EO: Yes fine...sorrry..I was thinking about the Kaeshi.
Host Kaeshi_CO says:
Action: Seeing that neither ship is going to stop, the Kaeshi cuts it's com.
CTO_Wolf says:
::finishes number 8::
CO_Durron says:
::shrugs:: *EO* Release the mines as covertly as you can.  *CTO/CNS/EO* Report to the bridge ASAP.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::finishes number 9::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
ALL: Bridge now. Release them and engage the holoemitters.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: EO: Okay.
CO_Durron says:
::moves his commbadge out of 'silent' mode::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::releases them one at a time carefully staggering the timing so they can't be detected::
CTO_Wolf says:
::heads for TL::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::as the last one clears she taps the console::  *CO*: All Mines released and disguised on my way to bridge and the rest are already on the their way to bridge.
CO_Durron says:
*EO* I suggest some speed.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::races for the TL and the bridge:: Computer: Bridge Express
Host Kaeshi_CO says:
Action: The Kaeshi runs through the minefield and is damaged, forcing it to drop out of warp and ending its pursuit.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::walks next to the CTO:: CTO: I hearrd about yourr prromotion...good job. I hope you enjoy Alpha Shift.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: The Kaeshi has dropped back, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
::steps out of TL and moves to tactical::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Do we have video of their run through the minefield?
CTO_Wolf says:
::loads and arms new torpedoes::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::steps off the TL and flies to her station::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Yes, sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Station is activated and ready to go sir.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::jogs onto Bridge and looks around::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Put it on screen, than move us back up to a flanking position on the Shrack
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Put the video on the view screen, then begins to adjust course to move back to the Shrack's side.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::targets the Kaeshi::
FCO_Kami says:
<put = puts>
CO_Durron says:
::watches the view screen and nods:: CTO/CNS/EO: Very good work, he won't make that mistake again.  CTO/EO: When you get a chance change ten of our torpedoes into mines, so we don't have to make them in a rush next time.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Weapons and main propulsion targeted sir
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: You got it sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
CNS_Chitwa says:
::Stands next to the CO, her tail swishing slowly::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Let them go.  We don't want to kick them while they are down.  Stand us down to yellow alert.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
FCO_Kami says:
::Sighs slightly to himself and puts a hand to his forehead.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::changes alert status to yellow::
CO_Durron says:
ALL: Alright back to the last problem.  FCO: What is the status of the sensor glitch we were reading from the Shrack?
CTO_Wolf says:
::stands down weapons systems::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
::sits back and relaxes just a tad::
FCO_Kami says:
::Looks up and sighs again, checking his console for the answer.::
FCO_Kami says:
CO: The glitch is still occurring at regular intervals.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Do you recall the information we had regarding the glitch?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: Glitch?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::blinks:: CO: Not off the top of my head, sirrr.
CO_Durron says:
EO: Over the past few hours we have been picking up a very interesting readings from the Shrack.  Originally we thought they were a glitch in the sensor system, however it was localized, and we have triangulated the 'glitch's position to a point near the rear of the Shrack's cargo area.
CTO_Wolf says:
::turns to console and begins to scan the schrack`s cargo bay::
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: And I bet you can't scan it either.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: A dampening field?
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
FCO: Energy spike?
CO_Durron says:
EO: We can, however I am under the impression that our scans are being fooled.  Before the Kaeshi showed up I was suggesting a party board the ship and see what they could with their eyes.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Perrrhaps the Kaeshi was rrright...maybe they arrre smuggling something.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: Long Range sensors detect three more warships of the same configuration as the Kaeshi, on an intercept course.  They are 20 hours out.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CTO: May be but it wouldn't be a dampening field but an energy spike.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: If they are smuggling it isn't our concern.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Three new contacts on intercept course. ETA: Twenty hours.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
*Engineering*: How are you doing on those next set of mines?
FCO_Kami says:
CO: They seem to be of the same configuration as the Kaeshi.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Same configuration as the Kaeshi sir, guess they mean business
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: But it is ours concerrn if we get exploded because of it.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
<Engineering> *EO*: Sir they have been ready for the past ten minutes sir.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CO: Your mines all ten of them are ready and at your disposal.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CTO: That could be a scattering static burst they are doing to confuse sensors.
EO_Lt_Mariana_Rochelle says:
CTO: Look and see if it has thallium in it.
CTO_Wolf says:
EO: gotcha
CTO_Wolf says:
:: adjusts scan for thallium::
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the LRS readings on his armrest:: Self: Ok, lets do this.  CNS: Open a comm to the Shrack.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods and moves to the OPS console::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Channel open, sirrr.
CTO_Wolf says:
::adjusts sensors for thalium and begins to rescan::
CO_Durron says:
OPS: Hold the comm for a moment.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: I would like you to lead a boarding party consisting of the EO, CTO, and however many tactical officers he sees fit.  I want you to go over to the Shrack and use your eyes and nose to find out what the Thaurians want.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::Nods:: CO: Underrrstood, sirrr.
CO_Durron says:
COM: Shrack: My fee just went up.  We dispatched the first of the Thaurian ships, however we just picked up three more,  Is there a reason that the pirates are this well equipped, and this determined?
