Summary
	The FCO finds the counselor and CIV and gets them off planet.  However, they do not make it unnoticed.  Two dozen fighters lift from the compound and go in pursuit, firing at their engines; their apparent goal not to destroy, but to capture.  The odds are not in their favor.  
The Chameleon’s away team arrives and engages the fighters, drawing them away from the shuttle.  Going ‘invisible’ they get close enough to the shuttle to beam aboard their crewmates.  An expected shot from a fighter has the shuttle exploding.  Fire sears the back of the counselor with 3rd degree burns before the transporter beam captures him.  The Chameleon heads home with its wounded crew, but at least they have all of them… or do they?  Behind them, they leave a squadron widening their circle as they search for the vessel that was there and then vanished.
Whoever the intruders are, they have made a second attempt to take something from the Nighthawk.  Only this time, the crew was more prepared and was able to capture a few of them, placing them into the brig before the others vanished in a battle of transporter beams.  However, a Klingon mortally wounded their only remaining engineer before they are rounded up and the captain is wounded as well.  Both are sickbay.
OPS destroyed the chip of mass destruction, hoping it was the only copy and she thought she destroyed the gem.  A call to the three Federation ships has 4 dozen security officers in EVA suits; the have volunteered in compassion of the orders to destroy the Nighthawk upon its ‘death’, and cannot return.

Announcements

•	Thanks to our NPC’s who appear to be joining us for awhile.  Try not to scare them away 
•	Logs were done… thank you!  Keep it up.

Time Lapse
1 hour.  In that hour, the Chameleon will have returned home.  The captain will be healed.

Captain's Log Stardate 10508.27: With the Chameleon gone to rescue the away team I am sitting in the ready room awaiting for the bad news Commander Gomes is about to tell me.

<<<<<<<<<< Tribble Prime:  Whose Heroes XVIII >>>>>>>>

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
::arrives at the Captain’s ready room door carrying 2 objects in her hands and enters, knowing she is expected and not wanting to waste time::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Going to the replicator for a cup of coffee::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Still sitting at the Chameleon's helm, checking their flight path::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Captain, I am sorry to come unannounced. Mind if I seat?

ACTION:  Something other then coffee appears inside the replicator.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Picks it up and heads back to his desk::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Powers up the shuttle::  CNS:  V, how's she doing?  Is she going to make it until we get to the ship?
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Please, anything to drink?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Thinks fir a moment than shakes her head:: CO: nothing thank you ::sits::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Sitting at the tactical console behind helm::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Sits down at his desk:: OPS: What's up?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Looks around the shuttle:: FCO: As soon as I can get my hands on a medical tricorder I can tell. But I suggest you make all best speed for the Nighthawk. Oh, and I'm VERY glad to see you. If I had time I'd kiss you.

ACTION:  Tactical sensors pick up a brief energy signature near the nebula.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Looks around to the TO behind him, nodding at him:: TO: Almost there...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@::rummages for the medkit and finds it, fumbles a bit in opening it and pulls out the tricorder, running it over Bri to get a reading::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: as you well know, we still don't know how those intruders came onboard, nor have we a way to stop them in the future
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Walks around in main engineering, busily working on consoles displaying many different kinds of malfunctions.::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: And they came here for one reason ::puts the gem and the chip with the weapon on the table::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  There'll be plenty of time for that later......right now, we're off!  ::engages engines an lifts off::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Blinks at the momentary blip on his panel:: XO: Understood, umm I think I just picked up a brief energy signature near the nebula.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Sips on his coffee:: OPS:  Is that the chip we lost?
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  And you, how are you holding up Varesh?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: Lost and found again thanks to our disappearing friend Yalp. This chip has the design for a weapon capable of destroying a planet. The intruders took the other gem, the one with the disease

ACTION:  On Tribble Prime, an alert has gone off.  A large platform rises from near the unseen complex.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: looks around to the TO:: TO: And, what is it?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Glances over his shoulder for a moment, then turns his attention to his patient:: FCO: I'll be fine until we get to the ship... but after that its the sickbay staff who will determine the answer.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: The disease won’t start without this gem as a catalyst and I doubt they can replicate it. And even if they do, eventually a cure can be found. But as for the weapon ... there is no stopping it
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: I see.  Suggestions?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Slows down and takes a break, with the most serious look she has::

ACTION:  Fighters power up.

TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: I'm not altogether sure commander, it was there for like half a second then it was gone, maybe a glitch in the sensor array.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  Just hang in there, we'll be back at the ship in no time....I promise!  Is Brianna conscious yet?  Maybe you can talk to her, let her know she'll be all right.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: We can not afford to have these stolen. I can only hope there is no copy. These 2 must be destroyed
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Frowns at the readings on the tricorder, then reaches for a hypospray and programs it with stimulants:: FCO: Not yet, but I'l working on it. :: Injects Brianna with the stimulants::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Turns back to his own screen and checks the operational status of the vessel's systems::

ACTION:  Unseen by the 3 Federation ships quietly on standby, three alien ships appear.

TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: OK, I have one now, it's coming from the planet.
OPS Yel says:
CO*: We are picking up an energy signature near the nebula
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@CIV: Bri, come now little one. Open your eyes. There are a lot of people who will be unhappy if you went beyond.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Nods:: TO: Good... Identify?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Listens to the comm.:: CO: We picked up that before, the energy spike. Right before the intruders.
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: He looks around to find some equipment to fix one of the consoles which appears to fail every minute or so. He heads to the CEO office to get the right set of tools.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: I would agree with you.  But it might be.... ::Looks up::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  Um, I might need you up here Varesh.....looks like we have company heading straight for us.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Frowns at the tricorder and gets out the cortical stimulator, attaches it to the base of her neck and tries again:: CIV: Brianna Rose, if you give up, I shall be most annoyed, and your brothers will blame me. :: Hits a button on the tricorder and sends a jolt through her brain::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
CO: We will see what this is and I will guard these 2 with my life. But that may not be enough
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: Looks to be about two dozen fighters Commander.
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Understood
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Disengages the auto-pilot and assumes manual helm control, slowly turning the Chameleon to intercept those fighters:: TO: Where are they going?

ACTION:  CIV’s body jolts.  For a moment a heartbeat is registered, before it flat lines again.

CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS Yel*: Red alert.

ACTION:  Intruder alert sounds as a group appears in engineering and the science labs.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@FCO: Only if you can't deal with it at all Aaron, I'm trying to get life signs back. She's not responding! :: Attempts again::
OPS Yel says:
:: Actions red alert::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Listens. to the intruder alert:: CO: These must be destroyed now!
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  Let's see if they'll talk!  :: Hails the lead vessel::
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Hears the alert as he enters the CEO office. Instantly he ducks and looks around through the door he just walked through.::
OPS Yel says:
*CO*:  Three alien vessels of our bow
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Jumps up:: OPS: Dispose of it. :: Runs out the door::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Nods absentmindedly:: CIV: Come now, little one. Please respond. Don't leave.
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: They're heading for the shuttle Commander.

ACTION:  No response to the FCO's hail.

CO Capt Monroe says:
*Security*: Full Alert.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Puts the chip on the replicator and presses the button to recycle it::

ACTION:  After a moment, the counselor gets a heart rhythm, it is unstable, but there.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Nods:: TO: On intercept course already, charge weapons... And prepare to drop our camouflage...
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  Looks like they're not in the mood for talking!  :: Raises shields::

ACTION:  The chip vanishes.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Nearly weeps with relief:: FCO: I have a pulse here. :: Hooks her up to the shuttle's life support, such as it is.::
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: He sees a group of Klingons walk through engineering as he feels a rush of panic come over him. He taps his commbadge and starts to whisper:: *CO*: Sir, Ensign Wires here, there's a group of Klingons in engineering.
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: Charging weapons and Masking their signatures.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Puts the gem there, knowing that she may die without it and presses the button again::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Charges weapons::
CO Capt Monroe says:
*EO*: Be right down.  OPS: You have the bridge.  *Security*: Meet me in Engineering

ACTION:  CIV's life signs are stable, but there is no one home.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Stumbles to the tactical console:: FCO: I'll help you as long as I can, but without concentrating real hard, I'm seeing at least two of everything.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%TO: Call when in range... Target to disable their weapons and engines..
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  That's great!  But in a few minutes, none of us might have a pulse.  We're clearly outnumbered and outgunned!
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Hearing the gem vanish and heads out to the bridge:: CO: Yes sir. Both chip and gem are destroyed
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Runs to the TL::

ACTION:  The intruders in science begin a through search, destroying anything not already destroyed.

EO Ens. Wires says:
*CO*: Affirmative sir. ::He tries to sneak behind the CEO's desk and stays as quiet as possible.::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: I'm on it, targeting weapons and engines.

ACTION:  The intruders in engineering secure the place and begin a search, while one group begins trying to power up engines.

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Warns the other ships they are being boarded again::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
Self: Not again
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@FCO: Then we go down with a fight. I did not get tortured by this lot, to be shot out of the sky. Do your best, flyboy.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Sends out a distress call::  COMM: ANYONE:  If anyone can hear me and you're close to these coordinates, we need immediate help.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: Chameleon: This is the Nighthawk, are you receiving me?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Runs out the TL, walks by a weapons locker and picks up a rifle::

ACTION:  After recycling, a shiny gleam sits within the replicator.

TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: Incoming transmission from the Nighthawk.

ACTION:  Two Klingons enter into the CEO's office.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Checks the power clip and slings it to his shoulder, meets up with a minimal security team::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: We're just coming into range now, ready to drop cam and fire on your command.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
COM: Chameleon: We are being boarded, the exact same mode of operation as before. Do you have a position on the AT yet?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Takes the shuttle into a slow looping as the TO reports they're within firing range. The camouflage shield, however, remains in place:: TO: Fire!
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: He watches the Klingons do their handy work in engineering. If only he was not alone, he could have done that with the same efficiency and maybe he was able resistance. As the two Klingons enter, he tries to slowly and quietly slip under the CEO's desk.::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Checks to see if there is anything in there area where he could lose the approaching vessels::
Droyk says:
EO:  Stand where you are...
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Drops the camouflage and opens fire on the fighters:: XO: Firing!
CO Capt Monroe says:
TO Happy: You take your team to the far door.  :: Points to two TOs:: You two follow me in.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Fights with a computer to get a lock on the intruders::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Runs scans of the area, blinking several times to see what he's looking at on the console::

ACTION:  The fighters try to circle around the shuttle, a couple take shots at the engine.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%COM: Nighthawk: Hello Nighthawk, we're engaging in combat with a flight of fighters, in pursuit of the shuttle carrying our team... Over and out... ::Continues piloting, while opening another channel:: COM: Shuttle: Chameleon here, we're covering your tail.. No worries.. Is everyone alright?
EO Ens. Wires says:
::Stops and slowly rises, his hands raised in the air::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Sighs:: Self: that doesn't help.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Watches the small three man team walk to the far door.  Opens the blast doors and peeks his head in::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Opens fire again targeting mainly the weapon arrays of the fighters::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Hears the comm., but watches the console with a singular intensity::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: I have the location of the intruders. If you have a tricorder I can send you the information
Droyk says:
:: Waves his weapon.::  EO:  Out... now.  I want this ship moving.  Now!
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Spots the intruders in the Office:: *OPS*: Patch it through
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Repeats the plea of help to the other federation ships::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Adrenaline flows as he hears a response from the Chameleon::  COM: Chameleon:  Boy it's good to hear your voice!  Both the CNS and CIV are in dire need of medical assistance.....and fast!

ACTION:  A weapons fire just misses the captain’s head.

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Sends the information to the CO’s tricorder::
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Looks frightened as he slides past the Klingon.:: Droyk: Y...y...yes sir.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Ducks back to the hallway::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Shakes his head:: Self: That was a close one::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@COM: Chameleon:  I'm setting course for one of the two moons to see if we can hide out anywhere near there.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@FCO: Do you need me on weapons? I want to check on Bri. :: Weaves in his chair::

ACTION:  The Nighthawk has three calls on their comm. unit from the three federation ships.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%COM: Chameleon: Understood... ::Keeps flying patterns allowing the TO to use all their weapon banks and targeting any target he wants::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Signals the far team to move in::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Answers the calls::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Targets the fighters closest to the shuttles and fires upon their weapons arrays::

ACTION:  One of the fighters gets a shot he had not planned on.  Instruments throughout begin to short circuit, quickly filling the room up with smoke.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Signals his team to move in, pokes his rifle to the door::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Pulls the Chameleon into a steep climb, turns her around, then dives again, dropping the camouflage to show themselves::
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Walks further into engineering, to the console controlling the ships engines. He tries to watch the other Klingons as he moves along::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
COMM: Federation ships: We need security personnel aboard, use EVA suits. They are going to try to steal the ship again!

ACTION:  The three ships acknowledge the call and report they will get back to them as soon as they do a quick discussion.

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
COM Federation ships: I will send you the coordinates for their vessels, if you can help with those too
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Acknowledges the answer::

ACTION:  A dozen fighters, seeing the Chameleon, go after her.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Starts firing::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Performs evasive maneuvers in any attempts to get away::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: I think we got their attention Commander.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Pulls the Chameleon on a course away from the shuttle:: TO: Aft weapons, full burst.. And target at will...
Droyk says:
EO:  Now... :: Pushes him with force into a console.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  Take care of Brianna until I absolutely need you.  I'll let you know.
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Opens. fire again, still targeting the fighters swarming the shuttle::

ACTION: The shuttle struggles as it tries evasive maneuvers; however, the fighters are no longer firing on it.  They are working on herding the shuttle back to Tribble Prime.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@FCO: Aye. :: Nearly falls out the chair, ponders walking a moment, then crawls across the shuttle to his patient::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Monitors the fight in engineering and tries to get some computer control back, namely navigation::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Now targets the lead fighters following the Cham and fires a full bust with aft weapons::

ACTION:  The captain hits one man as the rest go behind consoles and fire back.

FCO LtJg Knight says:
@Self:  I see what you're trying to do here......I don't think that's going to happen at all::
Droyk says:
CO:  Stop... or I will kill your man now.
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Trips and grabs hold of the console the Klingon just threw him onto. He gets back on his feet and grumbles something before getting to work on the console. Although he can work faster he tries to stall the progress on the engines::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Activates the camouflage again and immediately goes into a steep dive to double back to the shuttle, having an idea:: COM: Shuttle: Chameleon to away team.. Are you guys okay to be transported? We should be able to get it done unnoticed...
CO Capt Monroe says:
Droyk: What do you want?

ACTION:  The fighters fire back at the Chameleon.  The Chameleon’s shields hold.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Hears the comm.:: FCO: Aaron, we can transport only if its the last resort. Bri is in bad shape.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
Self: if this continues the only way is self destruct. Bye-bye Nighthawk. We can’t fall on the hands of rogue Klingons.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@COMM: Chameleon:  Actually, that might not be such a bad idea.  Just let us know when you're ready to transport so that we can drop shields.
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Hears the XO's transmission:: XO: I'm trying to get a lock on the away team now commander.

ACTION:  The fighters stop dead in space and begin a search for the vanished ship.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@:: Doesn't add that he's not much better off::
Droyk says:
CO:  You know what we want.  Hand them over and we will leave.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@CNS:  I think this is a last resort.  We don't stand a chance against these guys.  Besides, Brianna needs to get medical attention NOW!
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
::sighs in relief at the response and sends a message back at the ships "we have 48 klingon intruders, we need heavily armed security in our engineering and labs::

ACTION:  The fighters begin to fire on the shuttle again, as it is not doing as they requested.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@FCO: Agreed. ::checks the readout on the panel and slumps on the floor:: ~~~FCO: Aaron, I'm not much better off than her, I'm starting to lose my grip on consciousness.~~~
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Opens fire on the weapons arrays of the fighters attacking the shuttle again::
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: While kneeling he looks around as the CO tries to negotiate with the Klingons::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%COMM: Shuttle: In a moment... Drop shields on my mark, and prepare for transporter... ::Turns to the TO:: TO: Alright, fire at those fighters, wide burst, everything you have... And transport one second after my mark... ::Turns back to look at the screen::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Grabs hold of his console as the shuttle is rocked::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Adds another mention of the Klingon ships near by::

ACTION:  One of the fighters explodes.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%COMM: Shuttle: Drop shields.. Now! ::Presses a key to lower their own shields::
CSO LtJg G’Dar says:
%:: Observes the XO and TO and is getting ticked off at the constant shaking of the ship::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: Aye commander, firing now! :: Fires a wide burst with all arrays on the fighters::
Droyk says:
CO:  Now captain... ::Presses his weapon against the EO's head.::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@~~~CNS:  I know you're not V, you just need to hang in there as well.....they'll get us onto the Chameleon shortly.~~~
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Lowers shields::

ACTION:  The lowering of the shields confuses the fighters.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Nods at the TO::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Beams the away team aboard as soon as the Chameleon’s shields go down::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
@~~~FCO: Aye, m'luv.~~~ :: Unaware of what he says::

ACTION:  The fighters realizing what is going on, begins to fire on the shuttle while others fire randomly out in space.

EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Feels the pain of the weapon against his head and sweat starts to flow down from his head.:: CO: Sir!
FCO LtJg Knight says:
@:: Is taken aback at what V just said, just as they dematerialize::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Droyk: Ok, OK.  :: Signals his team to back up::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Raises shields as soon as the transporters powered down again, and takes the ship into a steep right-hand turn, off their original course::

ACTION:  The shuttle explodes

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Still attentive to the whereabouts of the intruders, she continues to try and get a lock on them and beam them to the brig::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Droyk: You have to let my man go then I can get those pieces for you.
CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS*: Can you get a lock on the intruders?

ACTION:  The Federation ships quickly prepare a group of security officers in EVA suits.  They inform the Nighthawk she needs to drop shields for beaming.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Does some erratic maneuvers to make sure they won't get lucky by firing ahead on their course, then slowly turns to go to the Nighthawk again::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
%:: Appears on the Chameleon, barely aware of what happened:: FCO: Help Bri. :: Manages to croak that much out::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%XO: We got them; I suggest a hasty retreat Commander, before they get a lucky shot.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: Trying captain. Permission to drop the shields, we have reinforcements coming.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%XO:  Just in time!  Thanks for your help Commander.
Droyk says:
CO:  You may get them now!  When you have something to trade, then we will speak again.  Now... out of here.
CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS*: Do it.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%CNS:  V, just lie down.  I've got Brianna under control.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Lowers shields just enough time for the teams to beam in::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Only when they are at a safer distance, he turns to the CSO:: CSO: Alright.. That was quite the fight. You can take the helm, while I go check on our team... :: Starts getting up::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Droyk: Can't do it, you have to release my man first.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
%:: Gives a little smile:: FCO: Glad you're back. Missed you.
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Carefully shakes his head and thinks to himself:: Self: I hope this goes alright. I don't know how long I can stall the repairs on the engines.
CSO LtJg G’Dar says:
%:: Takes the helm:: Self: Hmmmmm now which one is the thrusters?

ACTION:  In the blast, before they were caught, the counselor was more badly damaged then appears.

FCO LtJg Knight says:
%:: Gently lays V's head down on the floor::  CNS:  I said relax....and no talking, you need to save your strength.
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Runs passive scans to see if the fighters have followed the Chameleon::

ACTION:  4 Separate Federation teams beam aboard the Nighthawk with weapons at the ready.

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Gets a lock on the intruders and starts beaming them to the brig. As many as possible each time::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Proceeds into the rear areas for the Chameleon, finding the team in the medical bay:: FCO: How are they doing? :: Hurries over to Brianna::
Droyk says:
:: smiles::  CO:  On the contrary...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
~~~FCO: Aye, sir.~~~ ::closes his eyes, floating in the pain, knowing nothing else::

ACTION:  The intruders in science find themselves suddenly in the brig.

FCO LtJg Knight says:
%:: Sees the XO::  XO:  They need full medical attention and fast.  I'm not too familiar with intense medical, so may I suggest I take the helm and see what the CSO can do for them until we get back to the Nighthawk.
CSO LtJg G’Dar says:
%Self: Is it that one? :: Presses a button but a small alarm goes off and presses the button again and it stops:: Self Ok not that one

ACTION:  The group of fires begins a net to search the area for the vanishing ship.

OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Continues on with the beaming, wishing they had more power::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%FCO: Of course. Send him back here... ::Hopes G'Dar knows more medical than Knight::
CO Capt Monroe says:
Droyk: Don't be hasty
Droyk says:
:: Hearing the sound of beaming behind him, he quickly fires at the EO then drops and turns to fire on the captain.::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%XO:  Right away!  :: Heads up front::

ACTION:  OPS suddenly finds herself in a beaming battle as another transporter interferes with the Nighthawks.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Sits down on a small chair next to Brianna's bed:: CIV: Brianna.. Can you hear me?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Tries to block the other transporter by modulating the shields::

ACTION:  The captain feels a stinging pain in his leg, dropping him.

EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Sees the Klingon turn to him when suddenly all goes black...::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%*XO*: Commander, do you need any assistance back there? I was trained as a field medic.
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Drops down to one leg, and starts shooting::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%CSO:  I'll take the helm, the XO needs you in back to see if you can help the others.
CO Capt Monroe says:
*All Security Teams*: Move in!
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Feels dragged back::
CSO LtJg G’Dar says:
%FCO: Oh thank god  ::Leaves the helm in the FCO's trusty hands and heads to the AFT Cabin:::

ACTION:  The shields stop the other beaming; however, half the original intruders are no longer on the Nighthawk (not sure where they are.)

FCO LtJg Knight says:
%:: Sits down in a seat that is so familiar to him and briefly runs his hand over the console::  Self:  Okay, here we go!
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%*TO*: By all means, get over here then... Maybe you know something I don't.. :: Keeps looking at Brianna, hoping she would speak:: CIV: Come on, Bri.. You can't leave me... I'm right here, with you..
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: Captain, half the intruders disappeared from my sensors.

ACTION:  The fighters widen their area, heading outwards.

TO Ens. Trigger says:
%*XO*: I'm on my way. :: Secures his console and heads Aft::
Security Braille says:
OPS:  Reporting ma'am.  How can we be of assistance?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
%:: Floats in a pool of pain, red flashes around him, the air heavy and hot, finding it difficult to breathe::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Takes Brianna hand, then turns to see the CSO and TO enter the small medical bay of the Chameleon::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%:: Tries to block out V's pain::
CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS*: And the other half?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: As I said, not on my sensors so I do not know
CSO LtJg G’Dar says:
:: Enters the Med bay:: Self Out loud:: Ok lets see what we have here ::Picks up a medical tricorder and scans the patients::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: The other half still aboard are on the brig
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%:: Enters coordinates of the NH and sets course::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
Braille: the problem is solved. you may return to your ships. Thank you
CO Capt Monroe says:
*OPS*: Ok. :: Sits down in pain:: Get me a medic, Someone!
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Grabs a medical tricorder and drops to the CIV's side quickly scanning her:: ALL: Who saw what happened?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
%:: Vaguely aware of Aaron's presence, a breath of fresh air through the heavy fumes around him, trying to block him out, not wanting to hurt him more::

ACTION:  The Chameleon quickly distances itself from Tribble Prime with its rescued party.  The fighters appear further and further behind.

Security Braille says:
OPS:  If you are sure ma'am...  Please lower the shields and we will head out.
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%*XO*:  Sir, either we're way to fast for the fighters, or they are retreating.  We'll reach the NH in about an hour.  Will our patients hold up that long?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Looks up at the TO:: TO: I'd say Varesh over there could know? Other than that... ::Turns to Brianna again, just looking at her as she is laying there::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
Braille: Just a moment, I will contact your vessels to see that they are ready to receive you. Don’t want to bump into a shield on the other side do you?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Contacts the other ships saying one security Braille wants to beam back with the rest of the teams::
Security Braille says:
:: Nods his head.
EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Slowly starts to open his eyes and sees quite some blood lying next to him. A streak of pain glides through his body as he realizes it's his own blood. With great effort he manages to tab his commbadge.:: *CO*: Sir ::pauses for a moment:: I am hurt badly... ::pauses again:: Please... sent... help. ::Then drops to the floor, breathing heavily::

ACTION: One of the few medics up and roaming comes at the captain’s call.

CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Turns over to his side:: *OPS*: Beam Wires to Sickbay.
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Looks over to Varesh then back to Rose:: XO: I need that laser scalpel and a cortical stimulator.
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
*CO*: Aye aye :: Beams wires to sickbay::

ACTION:  Wires is beamed to the relatively empty sickbay.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Frowns for a second, then turns to hand the TO the asked equipment::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Lays on his back as the medics start working on his leg::
CSO LtJg G’Dar says:
%:: Reads the tricorder scans of the CNS:: Self:50% burns to back and singed hair, lets see what we have ::Looks in the med kit::

ACTION:  The three federation ships respond, saying the security team is voluntary and is to remain aboard.

EO Ens. Wires says:
:: Manages to open one eye, just enough to see he arrived in sickbay, before passing out again.::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Begins working feverishly to attempt to close the sources of internal haemorraging using the heat of the laser scalpel to seal them and stem the bleeding::
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
Braille: Your ships want you to remain aboard. You can take up the positions of our injured officers.  Namely in engineering
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
%:: Sighs as he answers the FCO's comm.:: *FCO*: I think they'll hold... good job...

ACTION:  A medic comes up to Wires and does a scan of him, shaking his head sadly.  But he tries anyways.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
%:: Somewhere in his pool of pain is a vine, stretching across a vast distance to one in more pain and danger than him, and if he lets go, she's lost.::
FCO LtJg Knight says:
%*XO*:  Acknowledged.  I'll see if I can find a way to cut some time from that hour.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Lies back and prays nothing else is broken::

ACTION:  The TO succeeds in stopping any major bleeding.

CSO LtJg G’Dar says:
%:: Activates the surgical tissue regenerator on the CNS biobed::
TO Ens. Trigger says:
%:: Activates the cortical stimulator to keep the Electronic impulses in Roses brain moving::
Security Braille says:
OPS:  Aye ma'am.  We thought we might be staying a little bit longer.  I will send a team to engineering to see what we can do.  What about the rest of us?
OPS Cmdr Gomes says:
Braile: secure the other parts of the ship, I don't want anyone else beaming in

ACTION:  Silence once again descends on the Nighthawk while on the Chameleon, two officers battle for the lives of two others.
