OPS_Traynor says:
::at OPS::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: How would protomatter affect the transwarp conduit?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::On the bridge in her console.:: OPS: Confirm SFC has received the reports.
OPS_Traynor says:
XO: Aye, Commander, Command has received the reports.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
@::in his quarters aboard the Kensington, concentrating more on a PADD than his dinner::
Host Rich says:
Action: LRS pick up a ship barely on warp power.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
OPS: We are expecting a couple of assistance ships.  What is their ETA?
SO_Knight says:
CTO: Unknown. There isn't much we know 'bout transwarp science. Starfleet's studies on them are still in the infant stages.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO/SO: Anything new to report?
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: I was thinking of using a subspace weapon or a genesis device inside the nebula.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: I think a subspace weapon or a genesis device might be able to do something.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::arrives on the bridge slightly out of breath, and takes the aux tactical station when she thinks no one is looking::
OPS_Traynor says:
XO: Commander, long range sensors are picking up a ship barely on warp power
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::turns to the to: TO: Your late.
Host Rich says:
Action: The Hayden receives a Hail from the ship.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
@::just shakes his head, recycles his plate and goes to inspect his bags, making sure he has everything... for the umpteenth time::
SO_Knight says:
CTO: How? Subspace weapons are illegal and you'd get court martialed and there are no Genesis devices in existence, even the research had been classified.
OPS_Traynor says:
XO: We are receiving a hail from the ship, Commander.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::turns pink for half an instant, but thinks fast:: CTO: Sorry, I was just putting the finishing touches on the reports that Admiral Doey wanted filed with SFC  ::flashes the CTO a big smile which she hopes will cover up her nerves::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
TO: Just give me 50 pushups.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::Jokingly::

OPS: On Screen.
OPS_Traynor says:
XO: Aye, Commander, on screen. ::puts the hail on screen::
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:

Host CMDR_Dread says:
COM: XO: Cmdr. this is Cmdr Dread of the Kensington.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO; Still what do we have on board that can be used as a subspace weapon?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
COM: Kensington: Dread: Welcome to the area Cmdr.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
@::slips the PADD with varying personnel files on it into one of the folds of his carryall, and just waits... something he's been doing for way too long::
SO_Knight says:
CTO: I'm afraid that a subspace weapon would further destabilize the nebula an' th' transwarp conduit. I think I could configure a probe that could further stabilize th' nebula, though.
Host CMDR_Dread says:
COM: XO: I'm afraid that I am not going to be much help as most of our systems are down. However I do have a crewmember that belongs to you.
OPS_Traynor says:
::watches sensors::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Maybe by destabilizing the nebula we can damage the conduit.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Could a core failure from a shuttlecraft be enough?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
COM: Kensington: Dread: We can have an Engineering teams sent to assist you.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks up curiously at the Kensington's mention of a "crewmember that belonged to them" - as far as she knew, all of their people were accounted for::
SO_Knight says:
CTO: I thought the Commanda wanted t' use th' conduit to fin' ou' what th' Borg are up to.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Pulls up her last note the ADM sent to her notifying her of the CO's departure and of the impending arrival of the CNS.::
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
@::pulls out the PADD again, and stares at the first name on it, considering reading it yet again::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Well, then maybe we should consider cutting our emissions and using some stealth to get inside the conduit
Host CMDR_Dread says:
COM: XO: Thank you we can use all the help we can get. can you transport your crewmember over to your ship as our transporters are still out.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Create a big enough signature on a shuttle that they chase it instead of the hayden.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Forwards the memo to OPS.:: OPS: Take care of this.  While I notify the Captain.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
@::gets word from the bridge that they're nearing the Hayden, and heads for a transporter room... better than beaming him out of his quarters::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
COM: Kensington: Dread: Will do.
SO_Knight says:
CTO: That would work, but the Borg sensas are very sensitive. I'm 'fraid tha' they'd detect us soon 'nough.
OPS_Traynor says:
XO: Aye, sir.  shall I transport the CNS from here?
Host CMDR_Dread says:
COM: XO; Thank you Dread out.:: closes the COM channel::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Sends a message to the CO notifying her that her transport has arrived.::
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
SO/CTO: We already tried sending an unmanned craft to distract them - the FCO and I did that when they were after your shuttle originally.  It doesn't fool them, not for more than a few minutes anyways.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: What about using shield emitters some how.
Host CMDR_Dread says:
*CNS*: Ensign Jervase we will be having you transported over to the Hayden shortly
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Either to cause a distraction or something.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
OPS: Yes upon the Kensington's signal.
OPS_Traynor says:

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
OPS:  Put him on screen. All bridge staff need to hear what he has to say first hand.
Host ADM_Doey says:
<Dread> COM:OPS; You may transport anytime you wish.
SO_Knight says:
CTO: The Borg are dangerous, extremely so, we need more than a distraction.
OPS_Traynor says:

SO: Why not give them the most complicated math problem
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
COM: Admiral: Admiral.
OPS_Traynor says:
::begins transport of Jervase as the Admiral comes on screen::
SO_Knight says:
CTO: Too bad we can't send in an unmanned starship in there and get 'em t' chase it.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Wait there is a starship in this system now
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: We can beam the crew over and use it.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Turns her head to see the SO and CTO still talking and nods to them to quiet down and listen to the ADM.::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: I have an idea of using the Kensington Commander Aria.
Host ADM_Doey says:
COM: XO: Commander we have all gone over the reports that you have sent and have decided that the best thing for the moment is to destroy the Conduit. I will leave it up to you how to do it  and once it is done you are to check out the colony and the other inhabited planets for any possible Borg active.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Thanks for the idea.
SO_Knight says:
CTO: No worries.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO/SO: Ensign, Lt.  COM: ADM: Yes Admiral.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: My idea is to use the Kensington as a decoy craft Commander, it's a bit crazy but it might work.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
COM: ADM: Sir the Kensington has some systems down.  We are sending an Engineering team to assist them.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Ensign!
Host ADM_Doey says:
COM: XO: Very well Commander I will await your report when you are finished. Doey out.::closes the COM Channel::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: We beam the crew over the Hayden and get the Borg to shape the Kensington. It will work.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Turns to the CTO.:: CTO: Ready room now Ensign.  SO: Lt you have the bridge.  Notify all departments that once the Kensington is out of harms' way we will commence on our orders.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO:Yes ma'am.

::heads toward the ready room::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Turns to the RR and goes and sits behind the desk awaiting the CTO.::
SO_Knight says:
XO: Aye.

::materialises in the transporter room, and blinks at the sudden change:: Self: So that's what a fully functional transporter looks like...
SO_Knight says:
::Sends word to the entire crew of the XO's orders::
OPS_Traynor says:
<OPS Naegle> CNS: Ensign Jervase.  Welcome aboard the Hayden.  I trust your trip was uneventful?
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::laughs faintly:: Naegle: As uneventful as it gets on a barely operational ship. But thanks.
SO_Knight says:
::Moves over to the "Big Chair" and tries it out  for a second::
SO_Knight says:
::Stands up and  and stands in the middle of the Bridge::
OPS_Traynor says:
<Naegle> CNS: Well, I'm glad you made it here in one piece.  Stow your gear and report to the XO.  She will give you your orders.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::smirks over at the SO::  SO: Didn't like the "big chair"?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
*CTO*: Ensign, I meant now in the RR.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::enters the ready room::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
*OPS*: Coordinate the Engineering teams with the Kensington and find out what happend over there.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::nods, and heads for... no.. wait a minute:: Naegle: Don't suppose you know where my quarters are supposed to be? ::grins::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Waits for the door to close behind the CTO.::
OPS_Traynor says:
*XO*: Aye Commander.
SO_Knight says:
TO: I don't think I oughtta sit there, at least not yet, mate.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Ensign.  Is there a reason you continued to speak after you were directed not to when the ADM was speaking?
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::laughs a little:: SO: I won't tell if you won't.  ::looks down at her console and starts researching the best ways to destroy the conduit, as per their orders and her better judgement::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Sorry just was thinking on how to deal with the situation to much and got distracted. As I was saying we could use the Kensington as a distraction to get closer to the conduit.
OPS_Traynor says:
<OPS Naegle> CNS: Your quarters haven't been assigned yet, but will be by the end of the duty shift.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Puts a hand up.:: CTO: Ensign Ivanova!
OPS_Traynor says:
<OPS Naegle> CNS: So stow your gear in your office for now.
SO_Knight says:
::Grabs a PADD and looks over the Science departments latest on the situation::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Waits for the young eager Ensign CTO to stop and wait for her before she speaks.::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::stops::
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::shrugs, and heads for his office, thinking there really needs to be some kind of advanced warning before they run out of room::
OPS_Traynor says:
*Engineering Team*: Engineering team, Commander Aria wants to know what happened over there.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: Ensign, your enthusiasm is admirable however, you must temper your actions and follow protocol.  I expect you to improve this is that understood?
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CTO: Understood ma'am.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::sets his bags down in his office, looks around the otherwise empty room and figures he'll decorate it after shift, then heads for the bridge::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: You must remember that there is a time and a place for all things.  I will now hear your idea.  ::Motions for her to sit.::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::sits down:: XO: What I am suggesting is beam the crew of the Kensington over to the Hayden and have it engage the Borg and get the Borg to chase it.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: That way we can get closer to the conduit.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::leans against the wall in the TL, and almost misses his stop... but steps out, and onto the bridge::
Host Rich says:
<EO Stubbing> *OPS*: It seems that the Kensington was attacked by the Borg a couple of hour ago. most of the systems are damaged. Life support and warp drive have been repaired but just enough to be functional.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::concentrating on finding ways of destroying the conduit OTHER than the torpedo suggested by Mr. Smarty-Pants EO - doesn't want  to give him the satisfaction, even if he may have had the best idea::
OPS_Traynor says:
*Stubbing*: Can you repair the damage?
SO_Knight says:
OPS: Ya gettin' somethin' new?
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::scans the bridge for the XO, and catches sight of something he'd rather not... almost freezes, but instead heads for the ready room::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO: What about the torpedo's that predictions showed to do the job with considerable less loss and risk?
Host Rich says:
<EO Stubbing>:*OPS*: Yes but it is going to take about 7 days.
OPS_Traynor says:
SO: Yes, sir.  The Kensington was attacked by the Borg a couple of hours ago.  Most of the systems are damaged.  They got life support and warp drive up.  The rest of the repairs will take about 7 days.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CTO; sorry, i was just thinking of trying to divert the Borg to make it easier to take out the conduit.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::stops in front of the door, debates a minute, then slaps the chime::
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::vaguely hears the TL doors open and close in the background, but is too busy rejoicing in finding a different way of destroying the conduit:: Self: ::loudly enough so that others may possibly hear:: Take that, you self-righteous Jeffries-Tube rat....
OPS_Traynor says:
*Stubbing*: Acknowledged.  I will forward your report to the XO.
SO_Knight says:
OPS: OK. Let the Commanda know.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::thinks if his eyes were fooling him, his ears sure as... well... weren't, and waits to be acknowledged::
OPS_Traynor says:
SO: Yes, Lieutenant.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:

Host Rich says:
Action: LRS pick up another Transwarp conduit opening in the nebula.
OPS_Traynor says:
*XO*: Commander, the engineering team reports that the Kensington was attacked by the Borg a couple of hours ago.

XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
*OPS*: ETA of repairs?
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::leaves::
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
XO: Ensign Michael Jervase, reporting for duty, ma'am. ::extends a PADD with his orders to her::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
TO: I want to start preparing teams for eventual facing of the Borg.
OPS_Traynor says:
*XO* Full repairs will take approximately 7 days, Commander.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
CTO:  They've already been doing so... ::smirks:: I'm one step ahead of you.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Takes his PADD and reads it.:: CNS: Welcome to the Hayden Counselor.   Are you aware of our current situation?
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
CTO: That's good.
OPS_Traynor says:
SO: Long range sensors are picking up another conduit opening in the nebula, Lieutenant.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
*OPS*: Acknowledged Dr. Aria out.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: I really wish the borg didn't use conduit for travel i mean they are immortal so why care.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Motions for the CNS to take a seat as she sits back in the chair.::
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
XO: I know enough to know you're in a fairly tight spot, commander, if that's what you mean. ::takes the offered seat::
SO_Knight says:
OPS: Can ya get it on screen?
Host Rich says:
Action: A Borg cube appears out of the nebula.
SO_Knight says:

*XO* Comanda we've got activity of th' transwarp kind from the nebula.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
::Sees the Red Alert klaxon and stands and heads toward the Bridge.:: CNS: Follow me Counselor. SO: Report?
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
OPS: Notify the Kensington to move to a safe distance.
CNS_ENS_Jervase says:
::stands up, and moves out onto the bridge behind the XO, taking his place in the command center::
OPS_Traynor says:
XO: Aye, sir.
SO_Knight says:
XO: I think th' Borg are tryin' t' fill th' command performance quotas.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
SO: Yeah Borg they are just one big brain.
OPS_Traynor says:
COM: Kensington: Commander Dread, a Borg Cube has just appeared out of a transwarp conduit.  Move to a safe distance.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO/TO: Standby weapons.  SO: Can you get a clear picture of what is going on in there?
OPS_Traynor says:
::looks at sensors:: XO: They're already moving, but I sent the message anyway, Commander.

Host Rich says:
Action: the Cube heads for the Kensington.
SO_Knight says:
XO: Increasin' sensor gain.
OPS_Traynor says:
XO: The Cube appears to be heading for the Kensington, Ma'am.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::manages to handle her tasks while looking only at her console... definitely not at their new "guest," or who she hopes is just a guest anyways::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: I suggest we beam the crewmembers aboard ma'am.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
OPS: Can they get out of the system before the Borg make it to their location?
OPS_Traynor says:
::shakes her head:: XO: No, Commander they can't.  I agree with Ensign Ivanova. Let's beam them out.
SO_Knight says:
::Monitors sensors and tries to come up with some idea::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::lowering shields:: XO: Shields lowered we can beam them out.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:

COM: Kensington: Kensington, this is the Hayden, come in.
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::put shields back on: XO: yes ma'am.
Host CMDR_Dread says:
COM:OPS: Roger Hayden We could use a little help over here.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
COM: Kensington: Dread: Cmdr.  Your ship is in grave danger.  We recommend you abandon ship.  We are standing by to beam your crew aboard.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO/TO: How long do we have before the Borg reaches the Kensington?
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
::checks::
CTO_ENS_Ivanova says:
XO: Five minutes.
Host CMDR_Dread says:
COM: XO: Roger Commander start beaming anytime. When the rest of the crew is off we will set the ship to self destruct.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
COM: Kensington: Dread: Understood.  I will see you shortly Cmdr. Dr. Aria Out.
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
CTO/TO: Drop shields.  OPS: Begin transport.

TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::throws one last glare in his general direction, and turns back to monitor the Borg on her console::
XO_LtCmdr_Aria_MD says:
TO: Ensign access the autopilot of the Kensington to head for the conduit, then prepare to fire those torpedoes after the Borg enter and before it closes.
TO_Ens_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::grins, having something else to focus on:: XO: Aye ma'am. ::gets to work::
Host CMDR_Dread says:
Action: As the last of the crew is beamed off the Kensington the Borg cube lock a tractor beam on to is and starts pulling it in. Just as it gets next to the cube the ship's self destruct destroys the ship taking the cube with it.
