Host ACTDMark says:
	ORDERS: FIRST THE BROAD-BAND TRANSMISSION THAT WAS SENT EARLIER
	
	This is Captain David Thorn, Leader of the Storm. We have captured Starbase 339
	and the USS Seleya. We will continue our fight until Starfleet stops cowering 
	behind diplomats and regulations and finally takes a decisive stand against its 
	enemies. We are all Starfleet Officers who have stood by and witnessed numerous
	atrocities because HQ refused to act. The Occupation of Bajor, the Massacre at 
	Setlik III, the Maquis, and now the current war with the Dominion. We need to 
	show force. All of these events have occurred because of Starfleet's weakness 
	and reluctance to act. It has forgotten its founding principles, to defend and 
	explore. 
	
	We will continue until Starfleet and the Federation changes their policy regarding
	the use of force. We will not stop, and those who stand in our way will fall.

	The Storm is now upon you.

Host ACTDMark says:
	MISSION ORDERS:

	With the recent announcement from the terrorist group, The Storm, all Starships
	within that sector are at risk. You are to proceed to Raphael Colony as it is the 
	nearest Colony to Starbase 339 and the Storm's base of operations. The Griffon
	will go to Red Alert and engage any Storm ships if confronted, a list of Storm 
	ships follows:
	
	Falcon, Bahrain, Victoria, Manticore, Cerebus, Ixtapa, Cayenne, Abyssinian, 
	Krighiz, Providence and Seleya

	~Snow~ I'm getting mixed feelings due to the oddity of the misison, but no strong 
	feelings of betrayal

	::lets XO talk::

OPS_Lucas says:
	I will not surrender! 

TAC_Katal says:
	::sets torpedoes for manual explosions::

XO_Mav says:
	::motions for Lucas to shut up::

Host ACTDMark says:
	<Mechiernoff> *Maverick* You will be taken to Raphael Colony and detained until
	we have reach out goal. 

TAC_Katal says:
	CO: Torpedoes set for manual detonation sir.

XO_Mav says:
	*Mechiernoff* Oh… I have 2 words for you and the storm then. 

XO_Mav says:
	*Mechiernoff* Bite me. 

Host ACTDMark says:
	<Mechiernoff> *Griffon* Captain Bradley… get your people to your escape pods…
	A bomb has been placed on your Anti-matter chamber

CTO_James says:
	::looks for infiltrators::

XO_Mav says:
	:;sits in chair, takes a breath:: That felt good.

Host COBradley says:
	OPS: cut off transmission.

OPS_Lucas says:
	::cuts it off::

CTO_James says:
	::finds none, heads back to the bridge::

XO_Mav says:
	CO: I doubt there actually is a bomb on board. And if there is, I say… Let's go 
	down with the ship. 

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: All Storm Officers beam off the Griffon… And all stunned victims 
	in Engineering are beamed into the Brig on the Ixtapa. 

Host COBradley says:
	ALL: Can we remotely detonate any of the shuttles? It might make Griffon useless to 
	them. 

Host ACTDMark says:
	<Mechiernoff> *Griffon* Captain… you have lost… Don't let it come to bloodshed. 

CTO_James says:
	::enters bridge:: 

Host COBradley says:
	*Mech* : At least give u s a few minutes to prepare. We can't just up and leave.

CTO_James says:
	CO: Sir, I would rather die than join that scum!

TAC_Katal says:
	CO: Agreed sir they have no honor.

OPS_Lucas says:
	CO: lets at least let the families leave the Griffon

CSO_Sulek says:
	CO: without computer access we cannot program the shuttles.

XO_Mav says:
	Sure… Then they'll just capture us and hold us in the brig for months, maybe years. 

CEOMadiso says:
	::waits for orders::

Host ACTDMark says:
	<Mechiernoff> *Bradley* Get to the Escape Pods Captain… You have no more 
	than two minutes

Host COBradley says:
	OPS: Cut Trans again.

Dr_Snow says:
	::looking at Bradley::

OPS_Lucas says:
	::cuts transmission::

CTO_James says:
	CO: will leave the final decision with you, may your decision be right

TAC_Katal says:
	::waiting for orders::

Host COBradley says:
	*SHIPWIDE* : ALL HANDS, THIS IS THE CAPTAIN. REPORT TO THE EMERGENCY
	ESCAPE PODS. ABANDON SHIP. 

CSO_Sulek says:
	::awaiting orders::

XO_Mav says:
	::stands up angrily::

Host COBradley says:
	*SHIPWIDE* : I REPEAT. ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP. 

CEOMadiso says:
	::runs to Lifeboat::

Dr_Snow says:
	::rises from chair and follows everyone to pods::

Host COBradley says:
	:;refuses to move until his bridge crew is safe.::

TAC_Katal says:
	::angrily heads to escape pod::

CTO_James says:
	Bradley: Sir….I …I… yes sir ::sighs::

XO_Mav says:
	::waits by CO::

OPS_Lucas says:
	CO: you go first…

CSO_Sulek says:
	::moves to pods, await other bridge officers::

Host COBradley says:
	XO: Get moving, Mr. Maverick. 

OPS_Lucas says:
	Waits with CO as well 

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: The first of the pods ejects from the lower sections of the Griffon…
	and away from the ship. 

CEOMadiso says:
	ENG crew: Get to your pods now!!!! Move it!

Host COBradley says:
	Lucas: you too, Ensign.

XO_Mav says:
	CO: We're waiting for you, sir. We're not going with out you. At least not me. 

CEOMadiso says:
	::launches his pod::

OPS_Lucas says:
	Sir…

CSO_Sulek says:
	::moves to TL::

FCO_Knowl says:
	::turns in his chair and looks to the captain one last time, then gets up and heads for
	the bridge pod..:

CSO_Sulek says:
	Deck two

CTO_James says:
	CO: sir, I will leave when you do

Host COBradley says:
	XO: you are in charge of being sure the crew is safe. No heroics here. GO!

OPS_Lucas says:
	Goes to EP but does not get in as quick…

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: The Cerebus and Ixtapa move away to a safe distance… they are
	leaving the pods alone. 

XO_Mav says:
	::walks to Executive Pod, gets in, angrily::

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: The Majority of the Pods have been ejected… the upper decks remain

Host COBradley says:
	::shouts at everyone to get out::

CTO_James says:
	::gets aboard a pod:: CO: aren't you coming? 

CSO_Sulek says:
	::arrives deck two goes to pod, takes one last look at Griffon, enters pod and ejects::

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: All pods ejected… the Deck One pod remains.

Dr_Snow says:
	::gets into pod::

Host COBradley says:
	::reluctantly gets into cramped pod. Tears welling from eyes::

OPS_Lucas says:
	Gets in a POD

XO_mav says:
	:;mutters something about the Storm::

CTO_James says:
	ALL: Is that everybody? 

Host COBradley says:
	::pushes the Eject button after it seals::

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: The Hatch to the Deck one closes… and it Launches away from 
	the Griffon

OPS_Lucas says:
	::almost crying::

Host COBradley says:
	::wipes away tears ::Mumbles: must have been the smoke. 

XO_Mav says:
	CO: Smoke? 

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: When all the pods are clear.. the explosions start… with Engineering..
	and quickly throughout the ship… before completely destroying itself. 

OPS_Lucas says:
	::crying::

CTO_James says:
	::stands and watches as the ship is moving slowly away:: Why is this happeing our 
	own people! 

XO_Mav says:
	::watches Griffon blow up, looks emotionless, but on the inside it's a hard departure::

Host COBradley says:
	::shakes head, thinking, what a waste::

Dr_Snow says:
	::watches as the Griffon is destroyed::

TAC_Katal says:
	::angrily watches as the Griffon is destroyed!::

Host COBradley says:
	::refuses to look out the tiny viewport::

Host ACTDMark says:
	<Mechiernoff> *Griffon Crew* The nearest Colony is Raphael… we will escort 
	all of you there where you will stay until this is concluded. 

CTO_James says:
	What could cause our own people to do such a thing? 

XO_Mav says:
	::pats Bradley on back::

CEOMadiso says:
	::turns after he sees a bright flash, then cries uncontrollably::

TAC_Katal says:
	All: The storm will pay for this I swear it!

Host ACTDMark says:
	<Mechiernoff> *Griffon* Yours was an example that we are committed to our 
	goals..

XO_Mav says:
	*Mechiernoff* You guys will pay… Dearly. 

Host COBradley says:
	ALL: Be assured, I will personally see to it that whomever is responsible pays dearly 
	for this. 

CTO_James says:
	to himself: I barely knew her ::watches flash of light::

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: All of the Pods head to Raphael Colony.. those that don't are
	tractored by the Ixtapa and Cerebus

Host ACTDMark says:
	ACTION: And are hauled there…

XO_Mav says:
	*Mechiernoff* Revenge is a dangerous game, but we will win. 

OPS_Lucas says:
	*Mecheriernoff | * please, let us go back to the federation… and tell them of this incident
	and so they will no you are serious ::hids smile e ven though he can't see it::
