they sent for supplies.

One-Eyed_Jack:
A CLOAKED VESSEL SHADOWS THE CONVOY

One-Eyed_Jack:
IT IS VERY WELL CLOAKED

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
OPS: What kind of shield strength do our friends have?

CAP_Tucker:
XO: That's what I've been told. Suspicions?

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
::hmm what is this movement?? No matter scanned...... hmm::

XO-Cmdr_Landt:
CO: not yet sir.

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
OPS: Did you hear me?

CAP_Tucker:
TAC: Open fire on that vessel! FCO: get us between that ship and the
transports!

CTO_Ens_Lee:
::locks target, and fires phasers::

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
CO: Firing, sir.

::moves the Geneva between the pirate ship and the convoy::

One-Eyed_Jack:
ONE OF THE TWO FREIGHTERS SPLINTERS OFF, OBVIOUSLY IN SEVERE STATE OF PANIC

CTO_Ens_Lee:
CO: Firing phasers.....

CTO_Ens_Lee:
CO: One of the freighters has broken formation!

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
<Transport>: Get back in line with us, now!!!

CAP_Tucker:
Lee: Tell that transport to get the hell back in line, we can't protect them
if they run.

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
XO: diverting port phaser, firing on that blast

XO-Cmdr_Landt:
*Freighter*: Sir! You must stay near the Geneva!

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
::Fires at plasma blast, 3 klicks from freighter, blowing it up::

One-Eyed_Jack:
WITHOUT RECIEVING EVEN A SINGLE STRIKE AGAINST IT

CAP_Tucker:
Blast! Lee: What's the status of the transports?

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
FCO: Aye, sir.

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
<Computer> Rief: i have coordinates for a gaseous anomaly leaving the sector

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
CO: Sir, TAC is getting a trace on that ship now.

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
::punches buttons::

CTO_Ens_Lee:
CO: Minimal, structurally...but morally, they've taken a good blow.

CAP_Tucker:
Lee; ::nods:: And the Geneva, shield status?

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
::transfers gaseous anomaly readings to CO, TAC and FCO::

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
::grumbles to herself, how did they sneak up on us like that?::

CTO_Ens_Lee:
CO: Holding.

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
::press buttons::

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
::looks at the data

CTO_Ens_Lee:
CO: They've got something up their sleeve, otherwise they wouldn't have the
guts to pull something like that.

CMO_G_Heinlein:
<ENG> *OPS* We have restore Power to the structural field back to 100 %

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
CO: I think we have them on sensors.

One-Eyed_Jack:
ONCE AGAIN THE PIRATE VESSEL DECLOAKS AND FIRES A VOLLEY, THIS TIME AT THE
UNDERBELLY OF THE GENEVA

CTO_Ens_Lee:
::returns fire immediately::

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
::Yep, that's them. Holds on::

XO-Cmdr_Landt:
<Computer>: Red Alert!

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
::sensing the pirates, moves the Geneva to port on a 180::

CAP_Tucker:
Rief: We need a way to disable that cloak.

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
::not to my ship you don't, ::

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
CO: they are emitting large amounts of plasma gas. Must be an old Klingon
design warp core. I
have them on sensors.

XO-Cmdr_Landt:
Lee: damage report

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
::checks every possible way of disabling a cloaking devise.

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
CO: here are their coordinates. ::downloads:: we won't lose them now.....

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
TAC: I am going to do a chicken with them, be ready.

CAP_Tucker:
Lee: Take the data Rief has acquired, take that ship out.

CTO_Ens_Lee:
FCO: Aye. Standing by.

CTO_Ens_Lee:
CO: Aye, sir.

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
CO: Sir, I am going to head straight for them. Then turn to port.

CTO_Ens_Lee:

::reconfiguring targeting array to match plasma signatures::

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
::moves the Geneva on a collision course:: TAC: Be ready.

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
CO : I think I have a way of disabling the cloaking device, sir.

CAP_Tucker:
FCO: We can fire torpedoes right at the moment of swerving. Maybe it'll
work.

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
TAC: On my mark

CTO_Ens_Lee:
FCO: Ready.

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
FCO: Ready.

CAP_Tucker:
Rikerson: Eh?

CMO_G_Heinlein:
::Starts treatment of a lone injured that has wondered in ...the crew has

TAC: Now!!!!

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:

CO: we're breaking formation with the Freighters, where do you want them to
go?

Freighter_CO_Michaels:
::watches as Geneva breaks off::

CTO_Ens_Lee:
::breaks form and zooms out to the ship::

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
CO : I know the point of their cloaking devise.

CAP_Tucker:
Rief: Tell them to stay out of the way of getting hit.

One-Eyed_Jack:
THE PIRATE SHIP BLASTS AWAY AT THE SLOWER OF THE TWO FREIGHTERS

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
TAC: Fire!!!!

Freighter_CO_Michaels:
*Brief* will do..

CTO_Ens_Lee:
Rikerson: What have you got on their defenses, their cloak, their weapons,
the make of their ship,
anything?

Freighter_CO_Michaels:
::maneuvers inside shield range::

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
*Michael*: that's Rief, sir....

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
::feels like mother hen protecting her chicks::

Freighter_CO_Michaels:
*Rief* apologies...

One-Eyed_Jack:
THE SECOND FREIGHTER IS HIT SEVERELY AND SWERVES OFF COURSE, THIS TIME DUE
TO DAMAGE NOT FREIGHTER

CTO_Ens_Lee:
CO: We're scrambling!

XO-Cmdr_Landt:
CTO: let's go for their cloaking device.

CAP_Tucker:
Lee: We need to take down that pirate ensign!

CTO_Ens_Lee:
XO: Aye, sir. ::targeting the cloaking systems...

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
CTO : Sir, I have scanned their ship for the cloaking device and found it.
If we target all weapons on this point, the cloaking device will be down.

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
TAC: their generators are on their starboard side. Center

Freighter_CO_Michaels:
::watches as second freighter veers off::

One-Eyed_Jack:
THE PIRATE SHIP RE-CLAKS

fire

CTO_Ens_Lee:
::hopes it hits......no use.::

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
Moves the Geneva to starboard for TAC to fire::

XO-Cmdr_Landt:
TAC: fire!

CTO_Ens_Lee:
Rikerson: Find where they are, see if you get around their cloak and detect
them!

One-Eyed_Jack:
SEVERAL MANDALAI FIGHTERS APPEAR TO COME OUT OF NOWHERE AND FORM A
PROTECTIVE/DEFENSIVE SHIELD AROUND THE CONVOY

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
XO: maybe we should put a gaseous anomaly scanner in a torpedo or two, and
let it find that ship

CTO_Ens_Lee:
I thought so, a decoy!

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
CTO : Aye, sir.

CAP_Tucker:
Yes! Lee: Send our thanx to the Mandalai and tell them to guard those
transports.

Mandalai_Fighter_Capt:
<COMM>Geneva: We can do that, their cargo is precious to our world.

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
::no luck so scans again::

CTO_Ens_Lee:
Rikerson: Can we get a plasma trace?

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
CO: Sir, the cloak must be leaking, I am on the trail.

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
<Torpedo Bay>*Rief*: ready with those torpedoes

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
CTO: Aye, sir.

Mandalai_Fighter_Capt:
THE PIRATE CAPTAIN, ONE EYED JACK, KNOWS HE'S NO MATCH FOR THE GENEVA AND
TURNS TAIL

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:

CAP_Tucker:
FCO: Don't let him get away...

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:

XO-Cmdr_Landt:

Mandalai_Fighter_Capt:
WRECKAGE IS FLOATING IN SPACE, ALONG WITH A BODY

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
::double checks the report:: CTO : Besides low shields, sir , we are fine.

CMO_G_Heinlein:
::Finishes seeing those with appointments ::

CAP_Tucker:
FCO: Well, we can't spend any more time here, our relief efforts are needed
to save lives
elsewhere.

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
Computer: check debris and last readings of that ship, Question. Is there
enough mass?

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
CO: Sir, I have a bad feeling about leaving.

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
<Computer>Reif: checking....... No, just residual readings, and one
lifeform,,,,, deceased...

Freighter_CO_Michaels:
@::hopes the Geneva is safe::

CAP_Tucker:
FCO: I know, the feeling of leaving something untied. But one pirate isn't
worth the trouble when
there are millions of lives at stake.

CAP_Tucker:
FCO: Take us to the transports, warp five.

TAC_ENS_Rikerson:
::presses buttons for the shields to get repaired::

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:

CMO_G_Heinlein:
*CO* Do you think they will require the services of our Medical staff, sir?

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
CTO: Keep a watch on our tails Lee. I don't like this at all.

CAP_Tucker:
*CMO*: I wouldn't doubt it.

CTO_Ens_Lee:
FCO: Aye sir.

OPSLt_Deb_Rief:
CO: Computer diagnostics show that ship was not destroyed, not enough mass

CMO_G_Heinlein:
*CO* I will get them assembled then

XO-Cmdr_Landt:
*CMO*: they're suffering from massive dehydration so you would probably
want to give them
water.

FCO_LtJg_Alexander:
CO: Shouldn't we let the freighter Captains know we are on the way back?

CMO_G_Heinlein:
*XO* Or maybe a Glucose infusion?
