Summary
The tensions rise as both fleets stand off.  Negotiations between both sides fail and soon the fire fight erupts.  The Nighthawk and her wing give the Nacandarians for their money as they return fire soon before the Komodo and the Chameleon trade places so that the Chameleon can go and rescue the president.  As the Dublin, the Vesuvius arrive with their wing the shift the balance of power to the Federation side.  One by one the Nacandarian ships fell but with a price the USS Argo Navis fell and was destroyed.  Four Nacandarian ship retreated to the Tunnel, and the Dublin and the Vesuvius followed right behind, leaving the Nighthawk and the Seleya to mop up and rescue the President and the Queen.  Will they rescue the President in time?  Find out next week

First Officers Log: Stardate 10410.09, I have been recalled back to the Nighthawk.  Captain Anderson had been (Lyon can fill in the blank here and nothing about a pacman) Commander Jackson will be leading an away mission to rescue the President on the Chameleon.  We will help divert the some of the Nacandarians away.

@::Sits at the helm of the Chameleon, facing the transporter padd, waiting for G'Dar to arrive::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Makes his way back to the bridge of the Nighthawk::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Having checked that Seleya is batlle ready, requests permission to leave the bridge and makes his way to the Komodo::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:

CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
::is in a turbolift heading for the transporter room::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::In sickbay.. looks up from a patient.::  CNS:  HEya!  ::Smiles back::  So what is the news?
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::arrives on the bridge and scans around for any high ranking officer::

ACTION: The conversation between Captain Muir and the Nacandarians is background noise for the time being... all is waiting to see if there will be a fight.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Turns the patient over to Nicholas::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Tenseness. We have 13 Nacandarian ships partially surrounding us. Not a good thing, and we're expecting a fight.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Does the pre-flight check on the Komodo, paying special attention the Chamelion Device::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Slips into the bridge::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
::exits the trubolift and jogs to the transporter room::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: CMO:  That is what I get for not sticking my nose out of sickbay.  I guess that explains where Tessie headed for Cargo Bay 1.  Sheesh, my staff doesn't tell me anything.  ::She can hear Nicholas chuckle in the background and she shoots him a glare.  She runs a hand through her dark hair.::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: I have my results for weaknesses of the Narcadians ships from the Data Cmdr. Varesh gathered.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Signals to the Nighthawk he's ready to receive G'Dar::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Very well we might need to use it.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#COM: Seleya OPS: Permission to Depart.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
::arrives in the transporter room and steps onto one of the pads:: TR Chief: One to beam to the Chameleon, Energise.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::hands the XO his padd::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Well... you know they can get it all right for you and you just dash in and work. ::smiles::

ACTION: G'Dar appears on the Chameleon in a swirl of blue sparkles.

Host Lyon says:
<Seleya> *Komodo*: Permission granted. Good luck out  there.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::materialises on the Chameleons Transporter pad::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Looks as G'Dar materializes:: CSO: Welcome, ensign.. Take ops, then we can get out of here... Oh, and open a channel to the Nighthawk..

ACTION: The Komodo launches already cloaked as not to alert the Nacandarians something is up.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Grins:: CMO:  Naaaa, I just got the best team in the bus... I don't have to hover.  I can trust them to do their jobs and they don't bother me with nitty gritty details especial ones they hand themselves anyway.  ::Takes a deep breath::  Hope up onto the biobed I want to check you out since you foolishly mind melded with a computer without telling me, and I'm completely irked right now.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#COM: Chameleon: Chameleon, This is the Komodo, I have permission to depart.  Give me a signal to go, at your discretion.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@:: Nods at Cmdr Jackson and heads to ops::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::sighs and gets onto the biobed:: CMO: Aye, your greatness.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Pulls out her tricorder::  CNS:  Oh stuff the puppy dog face.  It doesn't work on me.  ::Grins and runs the tricorder over him.::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::downloads the data into the Tactical computer::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::activates ops and opens a channel to the NH:: CTO Channel open
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods at the CSO:: COM: Nighthawk: Chameleon to Nighthawk.. We're ready to depart, commander.. Good luck over here, see you in a couple of days..
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::chuckles and grasciously lets her scan him::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Sits in the Command chair and hits the comm:: *CTO*:  Good Luck we'll see you in a few days.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::sets up the targets and takes over the the Tactical Console::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Makes a show out of sighing and frowning over the results.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: COM: Nighthawk: Thanks commander.. Chameleon out... ::Looks at G'Dar again:: CSO: And now a channel to the Komodo.. ::Smiles::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::taps a few buttons on ops:: Channel open
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: As soon as we want to attack the Aliens, the tactical computer will have the data to take advantage of their weaknesses.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@:: Smiles:: COM: Komodo: Komodo, Chameleon here... We're ready when you are...
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Very well.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#COM: Chameleon: At your MArk, Commander.  Komodo Standing by, Chameleon Device is active, so don't make any sudden movments upwards - we might meet by accident.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: I have the Dublin on the LRS.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Smiles:: COM: Komodo: Understood, Komodo... Engaging 3/4 impulse in 3... 2... 1.... ::Presses a few buttons to engage the impulse engines::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS: Well today is your lucky day... I don't have to kill you... ::Takes a deep breath::  Looks like there has been no permanent damage but I do reserve the right... ::pauses::  That is an order by the way to re-examine you once we get back to our own dimension.  We can't be too careful.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Engages the thrusters and leaves the Seleya, remaining inside her shields, so as to lessen it's already tiny sensor footprint::

ACTION: A message from the Vesuvius alerts the taskforce ships that they are not too far away... 30 minutes at most.

CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Yes, you gypsy.
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: How far away are them?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Buttering me up is not going to change my mind either... ::Grins::  Prune juice?
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: The Ves reports they are 30 minutes away from us.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grimaces:: CMO: I'd rather play poker against you.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
<30=thirty>
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Stays on a steady course to the Nacandarian vessels:: COM: Komodo: You call when we're going to do the switch over... ::Looks at the CSO:: CSO: Prepare to engage the chameleon device...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Hmmmm which reminds me... you owe me five bars of latinum... I've got this cute little dress that I have my eyes on... It will knock out Richard's eyes when he sees it... I want him weak in the knees.  So lets go to my office and get some real drinks.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Should I relay my info to all allied ships?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Lead on. ::hops off the biobed::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Taps a few buttons:: CTO: Chameleon device ready at your command
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Make it so.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Locates the Chameleon on sensors, and moves towards it at 1/4 impulse, then slowly moves into position directly above it::  COM: Chameleon: The Komodo is in position.  Synchronising my computer....  now.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Walks towards her office.:: CNS:  Seriously though how are you feeling after the mind meld... any lasting effects mentally?
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::relays the info to all allied ships::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: COM: Komodo: Here we go... Wish us luck... ::Nods at the CSO:: Now!
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Taps the information to his right hand console:: Self: That makes the odds about right...
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Dublin's ETA is 6 hours.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I feel a bit more sensitive in my gifts.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Taps her combadge::  *XO*:  Sid, Nita here.. Cargo bay is set up and we are ready for casualties.  How is the headache?  Should I send up Nicholas to give you another shot?

ACTION: As the Chameleon shimmers out, the Komodo shimmers into view... if you weren't looking for it, you wouldn't see it.

CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Activates the Chameleon device:: CTO: Chameleon device is opperating within normal perameters
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  Sensitive how?  ::Enters her office and goes to the replicator. She orders herself a coffee then looks over to V inquiring by lifting her left eyebrow what he wants to drink.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Very good... Taking us through... Check the passive scanners, see whether they are tracking us...
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Watches the changeover carefully, noting the moment that the vessels change positions:: Self: Game time.  ::Brings weapons online::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: My usual. ::sits down:: After that ill fated away team I felt Bri's emotional state so strongly, she woke me from sleep... and you know her quarters are some distance from mine.
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Looks up:: *CMO*: Sure doctor.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Taps his console, changing course a few times, before returning on a direct path for the Nacandarians. If they were going from predicting the position now, they'd have lost their contact now::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Orders V some juice..NOT prune.::  CNS:  I see.  Now was this feeling with just Bri or are you finding this sensitivity with all the crew... ::Becoming concerned.::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#COM: Nighthawk: Nighthawk, this is the Chameleon, we are in position and awaiting your orders.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Routes the sensors to the ops console::CTO: I dont think they have noticed us
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Brings the drinks over to her desk and hands V his.  She taps her console.::  *XO*:  Dr Tran will be right up Sir.   ::Sends a message to Nicholas.::

ACTION: A message from the Dublin comes to the task force... they were hot on the Vesuvius’s heels... they would arrive in just under 40 minutes.

Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
*SOPS*: Very well Chameleon.  Hold position and await further instructions.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Very good... keep monitoring the sensors for now.. Tell me if anything unusual comes up... ::Keeps his attention at the helm::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#COM: Nighthawk: Aye Sir.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: New Dublin ETA is 40 minutes.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: I just noticed it with Bri... I can't say otherwise at the moment. ::sighs:: Who knows what happened while I was surfing that computer?
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> ::Grabs a hypospray and fills it with another dose of painkillers.  Holding it in his left hand he exits sickbay and heads for the TL which just happens to open when he arrives.  He steps in.:: COmputer:  Bridge.

ACTION: The Chameleon slowly makes her way out the ring of Nacandarian ships.

CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::continues to monitor the sensors::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Monitors the sensors, waiting for the other side to make the first move.::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sits back in her chair.::  CNS:  V, has something happened between you and Bri that would make you more sensitive to her... for example, an ill fated kiss, a look maybe some unresolved feelings.  You two have been working quite closely together of late/
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Good.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Sees they're clearing the Nacandarian vessels' perimeter:: CSO: Alright... We're out of the danger zone for now... Just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride... And prepare to drop the chameleon device on my mark...
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> ::Feeling the TL stop, he waits till the doors open.  He steps out onto the bridge and looks for Cmdr Monroe.  As usual he could be found in the center chair.::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: It  seems we are to recieve a new CEO from the Ves.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: Nita... I have been more celibate than a Bajoran monk since I joined this ship.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@ CTO: Chameleon device standing by
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Sighs:: CNS:  DOn't I know it... How many nice girls have I set you up with?
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Turns around:: Nicholas: Ah Nicolas, how are things?
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Nods:: CSO: Verify distance to the nearest Nacandarian vessel... I want to be just on the edge of their sensor range when we drop it...
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: CMO: Have you thought that might be the problem?
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Yes we are.  I hope is one of the best.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas>  XO: Good Sir... I understand that the headache is still causing you some problems?  ::Pulls out his tricorder from his belt and runs it over the Cmdr.::  Nita sent me up to give you something for it... Something a little stronger this time.

ACTION: The Nacandarian ships start moving their ships around a bit for optimal firing... or so it seems.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Chuckles::  CNS:  If I remember correctly there was the hunk of a man by the name of Zach with muscles out the wazzoo too...  Who doesn't like a man with muscles?
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Raises an eybrow at the Nacandarian ship movements::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: CMO: Muscles doesn't solve everything sweetness.
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Nicolas: Yes it is, again.  It is more located around the front of my head.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Winks at him:: CNS:  But they are good to look at.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::laughs loudly::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@CTO: Well it would be safest to wait until enemy ships are outside our own sensor range
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@CSO: Very well... Engaging warp 6 then.... ::Presses a few commands to take the Chameleon to warp 6::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> ::Looks at the readings.:: XO: So it seems?  ::Takes the hypospray and presses it against his neck.::  Tell me, are you still feeling that void?  I suspect the headaches are a result of this.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::sighs as he is being reassigned as well::

ACTION: The "negotiations" with the Seleya's captain are deteriorating... the Nacandarians have detected the Vesuvius's presence.

Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Notices the movement of the ships, then turns back:: Nicolas: The emptiness?  Oh yeah, it is sure there.  Still blank as day.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: We may have a fight before our allies get here.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#Self: This is like chess, on a grand scale.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Nicholas> ::Nods:: XO:  Ok Sir, I think Nita wants you in sickbay once this is all over.  I know she has a message ready to be sent to Betazed as soon as we reach the Alpha quadrant.  We will get some answers Sir.  If you need something else, just give us a yell unless you want me to stay on the bridge just in case?
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Checks his right console:: Helm: Adjust heading to 212 mark 21.
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  V, you've gotten awful quiete?  ::Worried for her friend.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Nicolas: You might be needed more in sickbay.  I will be alright.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::continues to monitor the sensors::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Shields are up, everythign is ready for...  whatever might happen::

ACTION: A terse warning from Captain Muir alerts the taskforce to be ready, but his words are hardly cold when all hell breaks loose as the Nacandarians open fire.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Nods::  XO:  Ok Sir... ::Steps back::  Just hollar then.  ::Turns on his heals and exits the bridge via the same way he came.::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Shall I return fire?!
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Sits up:: CEO: Fire at will.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#COM: Nighthawk: Permission to engage the enemy?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::starts to answer, then tenses:: CMO: Its starting.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::fires::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Looks at him:: CNS:  What is starting?
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
*SOPS*: Engage at will.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::targets the weak spots::

ACTION: The Nacandarian weapons lash out at the various ships, rocking them with the force of impact.

Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Tell the Dublin and Ves to come in with guns blazing.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Opens fire wit phasers, aiming precisely, using them like a scalpel, disabling weapons and engines and shields, not trying to destroy ships.::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::sends the message::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Is jostled in her chair.  Quickly she taps her console.:: *Tessie*:  Looks like it's begun..be prepared for incoming!
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
<Tessie> *CMO:  Ready here....
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@CTO: I think were safe now. We should be outside their sensor range as they are now out of range of ours
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Done! Let's give em hell!
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
CNS:  We better get out there then... it won't take long before people start rolling in.  ::Gets up from her chair, her coffee forgotten.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::gets up:: CMO: I'll get ready. ::walks into main sickbay and grabs the tools he'll need::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::Fires with a joyful glee::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Sits back as he puts the helm control to auto pilot:: CSO: very well, drop the chameleon device... And just sit back, relax and enjoy the ride..
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Rocks with his ship, as the incoming weapons weapons fire takes it's toll.  Engages an evasive manoevers pattern, making sure to keep clear of all the other ships in this crowded battle arena::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Walks into the main sickbay and nods approvingly as her staff stand poised and ready.::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::Deactivates the Chameleon device:: Self: And so it begins...

ACTION: The Nighthawk and the rest of the taskforce shoot with wild abandon at the Nacandarian ships, inficting damage... as much as they are getting themselves. But help arrives in the form of the Vesuvius and her wing, pouncing on the Nacandarians from behind.

CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::She hears the doors open behind her.:: CNS:  So it's begun...  ALL:  Lets go people...time to work... ::Turns as three people are carried in.::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Dodges between the other ships, his manaeverability giving him the ability to bolster other ships to give them time to recover from damage::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Checks the tactical scanners:: Helm: Attack Pattern Delta-2.  CEO: Full spread on the lead ship.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::Fires::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Gets up from his chair and walks to the back of the command area to grab a drink from the replicator:: Replicator: Hot chocolate, extra strong, extra sweet.. Make it a large cup..
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Damage reports are coming from all decks. My teams are responding.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::fires full spread::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Helps a burn victim onto the biobed and pulls out her tricorder...her concentration now on the people that have come to her sickbay.::

ACTION: One of the Federation ships are critically damaged, the ships surrounding her taking on crew before she is destroyed.

CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: We lost one of our allies. :: fires::

ACTION: But the Nacandarian ships take casualties just as heavily... being pinned between the taskforce and the Vesuvius as it were... until the Dublin arrives to swing the balance even more.

S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Seals off the rear portion of the Komodo and EPS conduits rupture back there:: Computer: SHut down all systems in the Crew living area.  Seal off the bridge from that area.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: The Dublin has arrived.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::works quickly and efficiently, blocking most of the pain from his patients::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::holds down the fire button::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::A dull roar could be heard and groaning, some screaming people crowd the sickbay... she has also recived word that Cargo Bay 1 is also hoping.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Divert Aux power to the shields.  Helm: Come about to Course 160 Mark 23.  CEO: Have the Wing concentrate on the ship bearing to port.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Aye Sir. ::does as he is told::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Our wing is responding, Sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Turns to look at the CSO:: CSO: Can I get you anything, Ardin?
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Looks for the ship that inflicted the damage and fires the first three photon torpedoes at it.:: Enemy ship: Take that!  :;Of course, they can't hear him::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::fires::

ACTION: Zhen's small fighters prove to be quite effective in their maneuverability.

CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@:: Looks back:: CTO: No im fine, thanks.
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Raises his eyebrow:: CSO: Alright, if you're sure... ::Picks up his large mug and returns to his console::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Dodges back behind another convenient starship, to give the automated systems time to reload the torpedo bays, and also to let the phasers cool off a little.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Helm: Come about for another pass.  CEO: Signal the rest of the wing to follow.  Make every shot count.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Aye Sir. I will. ::signals the wing::

ACTION: Weapons fire slam into the Nighthawk, shaking her around. The USS Navis takes a direct hit to the engines and has to retire from the battle, the USS Argo coming to her aid.

CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::fires::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Shields at 46%!
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::reroutes warp power to shields::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Sits down, setting the mug down on the console:: CSO: So, we're on our way now. Looking forward to this new challenge?
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@:: Sits in his chair looking at the stars streaking past, wondering how the rest of the fleet is doing::
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Climbs back into the battle and starts firing again, using the Komodo like a fighter, even though it is not designed to do that::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Navis is retiring from battle and the Argo is going to her aid.
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
::Takes a look at the scanners.:: CEO: Signal Zhen's fighters to cover Argo while they evacuate the Navis.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::signals::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@CTO: Forword wouldnt be the word i would use.

ACTION: The Coobla allies move in to assist the Argo and Navis.

CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Our Coobla allies are moving in to assist.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::fires::

ACTION: The USS Dublin, USS Kurris, USS Io and USS Chieftain drop from warp just outside the battle zone, weapons blazing as they move in.

S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Notices a ship on his tail, drops the Komodo through 500 metres, stops suddenly to let the other ship get ahead of him, zooms up again and fires another three torpedoes, aimed at the shield arrays and weapons systems::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: The Calvary is here!
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
*CMO*: Doctor what is your situation down there?
Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: About time too.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Notices the other ships joining the battle and breathes a little more easily - not much, mind you::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@::Smiles:: CSO: Oh well.. What data do we have on the Nacandarian homeworld?
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
:: Continues firing::
CMO_Cmdr_Santiago says:
::Hears the com:: *XO*:  We are a little busy Sir!  You need anything?  ::Continues to work away.::
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@ CTO: Sadly not a great deal, its all in the computer database.
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@ CTO: Any ideas to what were going to do when we get there?

SCENERY: The Nacandarians have taken heavy casualties themselves, several of their ships disabled during the fight. The Vesuvius, Shuriken, Rapier and Javelin had been as devastating as the rest of the ships.

Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
Helm: Swing us about. *CMO*: Nope, nothing....
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
#::Continues firing phasers at the Nacandarian fleet::
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: We are winning!
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Shall I finish off our torpedos?
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
::Fires::
CTO_LtCmdr_Jackson says:
@CSO: We're going to find out where they're hiding the President, and as soon as we know, extract him from the compound... How we're going to do that.. I don't know, yet..

ACTION: Four of the remainig Nacandarian ships break off, streaking towards a terget they know... the Tunnel. The Dublin, Vesuvius and escort wings signal that they will pursue them and leave the battle scene.

Host XO_Cmdr_Monroe says:
CEO: Hold off on the Torpedoes.  How many ships are remaining?
CSO_Ens_G`Dar says:
@::thinks to himself:: Self: Im on voyage of the doomed. Oh boy.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: Four.
CEO_Ens_Forrestor says:
XO: They are retreating.
S_OPS_Ens_Whittiker says:
