Summary
	The crew working on trying to save the people of Freedom from a major tsunami is able to stop one, but inadvertently start another, though much weaker one going in another direction.  It has bought them more time, but endangered a different group of islands.  The counselor discovers some information on their ‘possum’ and information he would rather do without.  He races to try to prevent damage to the Nighthawk…
	The mordorn twins Have escaped and are free on Dratt’s ship wrecking havoc, however one of them pays the price, maybe with his life…
	The Chameleon group has caught up with Dratt’s ship.  The ships cargo bays are full of the deadly insects.  They drop their shields and are prepared to begin a battle to the end…

Announcements

•	An official welcome aboard to Scott!
•	Logs folks… please catch up

Time Lapse:
	A moment

Captain's Log Stardate 10512.03: I have sent Commander Jackson's Team to retrieve the shuttle that left the surface; he has orders to shoot if necessary.  Meanwhile we will deal with the tsunami that is approaching the main island.

<<<<<<<<<< The Unclothed Truth IX:  Complications...>>>>>>>>>>

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Arrives in the shuttlebay with her pet tricorder and a simple phaser::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Takes the Tactical seat in the Chameleon and logs into the console::
CIV Dr Storm says:
:: Sits near the back of the shuttle, knowing this was not going to be a comfortable trip for her.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Stands eyeing the hairy creature, not sure how to approach it. IT appeared dead for all intents and purposes, but the medical sensors said something else.::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
% ::Standing at the door, trying to find a way to overwhelm the guards… hoping that the Nighthawk crew is as good as Harlan said they are::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Enters the Chameleon and takes the navigation seat next to the pilot. knowing she wont be allowed the controls. She nods to Storm and Trigger::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Enters the Chameleon along with Gomes and takes his seat at the helm:: All: Alright, ready to go then?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Nods to Gomes::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
XO: All set
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Is the AT Gone yet?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Brings Tac systems online:: XO: Tac is good to go.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
aCMO: I guess I don’t have to tell you this but I will anyway. Keep an eye out for any vessels
CIV Dr Storm says:
:: Simply nods her head.::
OPS Yel says:
 CO: Not yet sir, they are preparing for take off
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
:: Smiles:: CSO: I'm already on it Commander.
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Ok.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Lays on the floor, trying to stop the worst bleeding of his wounds::

ACTION: The guards arguing outside the twins 'cell' door increases and soon the sounds of fighting can be heard.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
::Turns back to the helm:: All: Then prepare for departure... ::Nods at Gomes:: CSO: Call the bridge please..
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
Computer: Display data of the patient for the last 20 minutes, highlighting metabolic activity, brain function and temperature.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Hears the guards starting to fight with each other. Carefully he tries if the door can be opened from this side::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
:: Nods to the XO:: *Bridge*This is the Chameleon, requesting permission to leave
OPS Yel says:
CO: I am opening shuttlebay doors for them now
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Good.  :: Sits up in his chair::
OPS Yel says:
:: Taps her console:: *Chameleon*: Permission granted. Good luck
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
XO: Shuttle bay doors are open Sir.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Watches as the computer brings up the requested data:: Self: Hmmm... Dead if I just look at it, alive as the sensors show. Maybe a mental probe would work.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
:: Engages thrusters and gently lifts the Chameleon from the shuttlebay floor, slowly advancing it to the still opening doors::

ACTION:  As the shuttle doors open to the outside, the Chameleon lifts like a bird and soars from the doors, leaving behind the ugly wreckage from the earlier explosion.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
CIV: Given you are betazoid ... did you get any psi readings when you were below the water surface on the planet?
OPS Yel says:
CO: The Chameleon has cleared the shuttlebay
Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Since the door won't open, he looks at the panel beside the door. He looks over his shoulder to his brother:: Ra-Kol: Think you can mange to do something with this? You were always just a tad better at this
OPS Yel says:
CO: I will resume with the evacuation since I have not figured out any other way to save these people
CIV Dr Storm says:
@ :: Looks out the window, her face expressionless, feeling the weight of her current standing on this ship.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@ :: Nods at the aCMO and takes the Chameleon through the gap left by the now open doors:: All:  Alright, we're on our way.. You better not have forgotten anything, because we are not going back.. :: Smiles back at them for a moment, before turning to the viewscreen again, piloting the Chameleon in the right direction::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Looks up at his brother and gets up slowly. He then moves to the panel and takes a look at it. As he can hear the guards fighting he pries off the panel and takes a look at the wiring behind it::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@ XO: Not to be pessimistic...though I am but this could be a wild goose chase...or a trap...
CIV Dr Storm says:
@:: Looks at Gomes suddenly realizing she was being talked to::  CSO:  I am sorry... what did you ask?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Settles comfortably, making sure the forcefields are in place around the creature, closing his eyes and preparing to scan the critter mentally.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CSO: Engage plotted course, maximum warp..
Ens Ar-Kol says:
:: Steps aside as his brother starts working on the panel. He hopes he can get it open quickly while they can still make use of the guards not paying attention::
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Stands and heads to science:: OPS: Give me a minute, how long till the wave hits the island?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I've completed diagnostics on all the camouflage systems and I'm showing green across the board.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Frowns:: CIV: I was wondering if you had had any telepathic readings for the time you were near the volcano. Any ideas that may help us figuring out who these people are and what exactly they intend
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods slowly, his eyes scanning the instrument panel:: CSO: Yes.. Maybe.. But we are not facing that ill-prepared...
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I've extrapolated the course of the target ship and it seems to be headed for this planet. :: Feeds the telemetry to helm::
OPS Yel says:
CO: half an hour before it reaches the next island
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods to the aCMO:: aCMO: Engage camouflage then.. It should provide us with some more cover until we reach our target.. ::Puts the data through to Gomes' console::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
:: Recognizes the function of most of the wires. Pulling some loose he interconnects them, trying to short circuit the door so it will open::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: Ill prepared is a matter of perspective. :: Looks down at her console as if considering the meaning of the universe:: XO: It all depends what they are prepared to as well
CIV Dr Storm says:
@ :: Shakes her head::  CSO:  I was not 'listening' then.  I usually don't unless needed.  And by the time we came through, they were already gone.  I am sorry.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Frowns slightly, probing a little more:: *CO*: Varesh to the bridge. Captain, I have ascertained so far, that this hairy critter has a simple mind and can be easily trained... but has no vocal cords for speech.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%::As his brother is working on the panel he listens to the guards, to what they are saying and where they appear to be behind the door. The pot is still in his hands, ready to be used::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Figures out some calculations::

ACTION:  A cascade of sparks shoots out at the CTO.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Aye sir... Engaging Cam. :: Activates the camouflage and masks the weapon and shield signatures::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods looking back at the CIV with a faint smile:: CIV: It was just an idea...something to give us more information. :: Looks back at her console:: We are facing the almost absolute unknown here
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CNS*: Acknowledged, Can you see if he is responsible for the sabotage?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@aCMO: I hop we can keep the camouflage long enough. It puts a drain on our energy reserves
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Curses under his breath as the panel sparks. Looking at his hand it seems there wasn't much damage. He continues his work to open the door::

ACTION:  Silence descends as a last 'oof' is heard.  Then a grumble and a scrape that slowly fades away.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@CSO: I'm working on that... rerouting power from non-essential systems as needed.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks out the front view ports at the immensity of warped space::
CIV Dr Storm says:
@CSO: Not totally unknown.  We do have some facts to work with.  The question is what will help us.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*CO*: I will attempt to do so now, sir. ::closes his eyes again and tries to see if the creature was responsible for the sabotage, all the while trying to soothe it and make it think it wasn't in any danger::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: He tries to open the door as the rumor on the other side of the door dies down::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Maintains a scanning eye on the instruments, while at the same time looking outside into the darkness of space::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV: Indeed All: Perhaps we can do some brain storming while we wait. We know they have a deadly plague spread by an insect. We know they bought their way into the planet freedom to breed these creatures ....any ideas as to a motif? Blackmail?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Keeps a close eye on LRS for any sign of the ship::
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: He reconnects another set of wires. It's a bit harder without proper tools, but he'll manage anyways... he always has::
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Scans the wave for the amplitude::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: He tries to put his hand behind the door.  That thing has to open…soon::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Pulls back for the critter's mind:: *CO*: Captain, he is the one responsible for the sabotage, but I get the feeling it was something he was told to do, and he's glad he completed the assignment. But I also pick up fear that we captured him.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Plots in the course extrapolated by the nighthawk and refined by the aCMO and engages warp 8::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I'm picking something up at the very edge of long range sensors...
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CNS*: Who, then?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@::Takes a quick sideways glance at Trigger:: aCMO: Yes..?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@::figures no one is in the mood to brain storm and keeps her ideas to herself, wondering how  long it will take to storm to figure out the XO and her own suspicions::
CIV Dr Storm says:
@CSO:  I believe it is the same as before with the other groups... to create problems.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Trying to make an ID now.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV: It’s a bit more radical this time. We are talking of the death of millions, possibly more. No... There must be something more important at stake
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%Self: ah ::reconnects a final set of wires… this should do it::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*CO*: I think that is going to be a challenge to find out. But I will try my best.
CIV Dr Storm says:
@ CSO:  But what was that attempted plague then if not the same?
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CNS*: Acknowledged, Let me know?

ACTION:  The door slowly opens up to freeze half way.  Before him on the floor is one of the guards with blood splattered about.  The guard is groaning.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*CO*: Aye, sir. Varesh out.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: As the door opens a bit he squirms through. As he sees the guard he looks around for the other one, then kneels at the downed guard:: Guard: Where's the other one?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV: It is just hard to believe there are people who would kill just to promote anarchy

ACTION:  Below on Freedom, the targeted island is in a full panic.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: It's an alien ship... unfamiliar; I can't ID what species...
CO Capt Monroe says:
FCO: Take us in.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: aCMO: Alright, keep trying.. See whether you can get some date on it.. Weapons, propulsion.. Things like that...
CIV Dr Storm says:
@ CSO:  Is it?  Many histories are laced with doing just that. :: Looks out the window.:: Remove order, and it is easy to conquer and control.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Since the guard doesn't seem capable of answering any of his questions he looks for a weapon::
OPS Yel says:
:: Keeps beaming people from the endangered areas to others::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I'm on it sir. :: Gathers as much info as he can::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Turns around for a moment:: CSO/CIV: I believe Alex is right. You do not just do this for the sake of causing trouble. There must be a deeper down purpose. Causing trouble would be blowing up power plants, or other public services. Not murdering whole populations...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Leans against a counter, and watches the critter, reaching out with his mind::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@CIV: I disagree. Terrorist deaths have always been in big numbers but never to affect a whole population. Conquests can kill a whole population, not things like this
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Slips through the door, looking around for a sign of the other guard::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: Indeed. Terrorists often rely on the support of part of the population. -In this case I don’t see how they can
CIV Dr Storm says:
@ :: Quietly::  CSO:  In the vastness of it all, what are a few dead worlds that can be populated later...
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Range 5 light years and closing...
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CSO: Oh, but they had support.. Only they gained that under false pretence...
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: from what little info I can gather it's definitely the same ship that left the facility on the planet.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Glances at the CIV and raises her eyebrows:: CIV: Perhaps. But one must be really cold to think like that
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Gets up and head to tactical:: OPS: Contact the surface and tell them to prepare for the tsunami
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Turns back to the helm:: aCMO: Charge phaser banks, load torpedoes.. I want to be ready...
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: Yes and that sort of support never lasts. I am certain those kids that supported them will have a hard time falling asleep for the rest of their lives. However short or big ...
OPS Yel says:
:: Nods to the CO and does as he asks::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Already done Commander... And I've masked their signatures... they'll never see us coming.
CIV Dr Storm says:
@CSO:  Yes....
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CSO: Can you extrapolate a destination, based on the new track data we have now?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Frowns as he sees faces, but doesn't recognize them. He probes deeper, but can't determine more.::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Sets up the torpedo::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Picking up the weapon he looks at his brother and nods. Then he stands up and starts carefully moving in the general direction of the engine room::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods and scans for the ion trail::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Looks sideways to the aCMO:: aCMO: You think we will have a chance to sneak by them?
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Seeing his brother nod he follows him, guarding his rear::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Well we appear to be catching it pretty fast.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: Adjusting course.... but essentially comes down to the same planet
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: CSO: So we are certain then... ::Looks at Trigger again:: aCMO: Confirm target is moving..?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: He carefully continues down a corridor, determined to stop this ship dead in the water::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: It could certainly still be a trap ...
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Stumbles as his wounds are really getting to him... ::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks up from his console:: OPS: Time to impact?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Confirmed... They're still under way.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Alright.. Maintain cloak and speed... If we can, I want to overtake them and go a bit ahead of them.. So we can surprise them and attempt to board... We did bring those plasma charges, did he not?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Any people he sees, he shoots on sight. This is no time to play nice. He slows down as he approaches the engine room::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Entering Short range sensors now... small ship... skeleton crew... Heavily armed... I'll try some discreet scans to find a way of bringing their shields down
OPS Yel says:
CO: 15 minutes, about the same time it will take the tsunami to hit the island. We can't let it go too fast or we risk the impact will be worse than the tsunami
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Looking back he notices they just passed the cargo bay, which is sealed up tight. It's ibvous what's in there::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Checks the inventory:: XO: We certainly did. :: Smiles::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::sighs:: *CO*: Varesh to Monroe. No luck captain, I get faces, but nothing else. Remember, this is a very simple creature. Its like your dog thinking "master" when he sees you, and "not master" when someone else is talking to him. ::winces at the bad analogy::

ACTION:  Two crewmen go under the fire of the CTO's weapon.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Acknowledges the aCMO's words with a nod:: aCMO: Any lifesigns we are interested in?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: He stops as he reaches to door to the engine room, and waits for his brother to catch up… the fact that he needs to wait worries him... His brother must be in serious pain for him to be so slow::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Looks up at the words "life signs":: XO: If only we could just ... beam them all out
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Catches up to his brother. As he approaches the door to engineering he nods to his brother and opens the door::
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CNS*: Acknowledged, Can you patch those images to the computer and get it to search for it.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Scans:: XO: I'm detecting Miradorn twins... they don't look very well from their life signs but they're moving.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: As the door opens he dives through, guns blazing. Maybe a bit of cowboy tactics, but the element of surprise should do the trick here::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Sighs:: *CO*: If you have invented a neural interface, of course captain, otherwise I will have to try and program the features into the computer and hope for the best.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Opposing force's strength?
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: There's no way I can get a transporter lock, they're too heavily shielded.
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CNS*: I thought you invented that.  Come on you aren't holding out on me are you?

ACTION:  The CTO surprises a couple of the men and they go down.  The others dive behind consoles.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: More than 50 sir, but they're pretty spread out through the ship.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*CO*: Would I do that to you Sid? ::sighs as he realizes how tired he is that he calls the Captain by his first name:: I'll start working on it... but its a very long shot.
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Wonderful.  :: Double checks the simulation::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Any way we can get in and out fast?
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CNS*: Keep me updated.
OPS Yel says:
CO: 10 minutes and counting
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: Checking for weak spots now.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Walks back to his Chair:: OPS: Now is probably the best time to do it.  Arm Main Torpedoes.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Since he isn't here for a body count, he starts shooting at the conduits in the engine room. Shooting at the core would be suicide, but shooting those conduits will stop the power transfer to the engines…and the shields::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*CO*: Aye, Varesh out.

ACTION:  Something is tugging at the back of the counselors mind.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Recoils as he looks at the Scans:: XO: This thing’s loaded to the gills with bugs.
OPS Yel says:
:: Nods to the CO and taps her console: CO: torpedoes armed. I have also warned the surface we are not targeting them; though they weren’t very happy with the prospect of being bombarded.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Presses his console a few times and leans to Gomes:: CSO: Alex.. Can you try and find out the shield modulation and frequency they are using..?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: Can those bugs survive in space..? :: Turns to Storm as well, hoping she has a negative answer::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Feels the tugging at his mind, like a scratch at the door for attention::

ACTION: Cross firing happens in engineering between the CTO and the others.  Where the CTO does not care what they hit, the men are more selective.  Red alert finally sounds throughout the ship and men begin to converge on engineering.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Scratches her head:: XO: I'll use the state of the art sensors this has but its going to be very difficult unless they are very stupid.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: He stays outside the engine room and looks down the corridor making sure no one sneaks up from behind::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Also turns to the CIV::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: As he hears the alarms go off, he grabs another gun from a crewmember he killed and shoves it out the door for his brother::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@aCMO: Can you, by any chance, find our officers' combadghes?
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Hearing the gun slide over he picks it up and sets up a defence::
CIV Dr Storm says:
@ :: Stands up and joins Trigger.::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Slowly turns towards the hairy critter, wondering if it gave up on its possum routine::
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: He keeps firing at the conduits… they have to give in sooner or later… and he's hoping it's sooner::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Shakes her head:: XO: This ship is too different from anything we have encountered. I can hardly make out where the shield emitters are, let alone what they emit.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@CSO: I'm scanning now Commander.
Dratt says:
:: His voice is heard, booming out of the comms.::  Kol's:  I know what is going on and where.   When I get my hands on you, you will wish for my pets.
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%:: Hears Dratt speak and shrugs. Words are easy. This time they have the advantage::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Nods:: CSO: Very well then.. Let's just hope it is not resistant to our weapons..
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Prepare to fire.
CO Capt Monroe says:
::Checks his calculations::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: again not wanting to be the pessimist, they are pretty heavy shields. I think our best chance is to catch them off guard.  Perhaps when they land and need to lower shields.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Eyes widen as he realizes that he remembers something that he saw the critter do in the Jeffries tubes::
OPS Yel says:
CO: waiting your word.
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@CSO/XO: I'm reading weapons fire on the ship.
CIV Dr Storm says:
@:: With a sigh, returns to her seat to remain out of the way.::  CSO:  It is no more then we really expected.
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Sees the right time:: OPS: Fire!

ACTION:  Down both sides of the corridors, men come firing at Ra-Kol.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CSO: At that time it may be too late for the planet and its population...
OPS Yel says:
::fires the torpedo and watches it storm down in the direction of the planet::

ACTION:  The torpedo heads quickly for the planet and the direction of the wave.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@XO: agreed. But on the other hand we can not let them escape. We have to be careful Perhaps ... perhaps a few lives are worth catching this ship
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%Ar-Kol: Hurry up; we've got a welcoming committee coming in
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Hears his brother and moves up, taking some more risks. But they're dead either way, so he's determined to take as many with him as he can::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I'm going to loose a few torpedoes on their shields Commander... you ready for some fancy flying?
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Looks with great interest:: Self: Come on work.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CSO: We do not seek the capture or the escape of this ship The only acceptable outcome to this is destruction... The danger of keeping this ship in one piece is simply too great. We cannot risk it. aCMO: Prepare to attack... CSO: Drop from warp when we are nearby..

ACTION:  There is sudden silence on the sensors followed by a massive explosion.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: I'm ready when you are.
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Status.

ACTION: The conduit the CTO is working on explodes.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@:: Nods to the XO::CO: Just in case, I'll keep the computer scanning for our officers. As soon as those shields are down I promise the officers will be aboard... dead or alive
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: His eyes widen in horror:: *CO*: CAPTAIN!!! We have trouble... BIG trouble. The critter has planted a time delay explosive device in one of the Jeffries tubes near engineering... enough to rip a hole through the warp core and the rest of the ship. :: Already out the door and running for the nearest TL::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Closes his eyes for a moment:: All: There will be no going back from this point on... aCMO: Fire torpedoes, drop camouflage and maintain continuous, concentrated fire.. Make a hole in their shields..
OPS Yel says:
CO: Too early to say, the explosion is clouding sensors, I can not confirm the destruction of the tsunami yet
CO Capt Monroe says:
*CNS*: What?
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%::Fires at the advancing crew, moving about to form a hard to hit target::
CO Capt Monroe says:
:: Turns to OPS:: OPS: I want forcefields around the warp core now!
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Briefs the CO as he runs:: *CO*: It was in a memory I scanned from him, and its a nasty one, sir. I'm heading there now.

ACTION:  The alien vessel is suddenly jarred from warp.

aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@XO: With respect sir we need not drop Cam... if we fire while camouflaged and from a different position each time we can make them think they’re surrounded.
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Stumbles as the craft suddenly decelerates quickly::

ACTION:  Ra-Kol is hit and flung backwards hard against a wall.

OPS Yel says:
CO: The tsunami has indeed cleared out but ::frowns:: CO: The explosion created a secondary one. The course is slightly altered and its weaker. But it will still hit a populated island in about 45 minutes
Ens Ra-Kol says:
%Self: ARGH
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@aCMO: If we do not drop the camouflage, power output to the phasers will be too low to keep up a long fight, and we might need that.  Drop the camouflage.  Enforce shields.
OPS Yel says:
:: Activates the force fields as ordered:: CO: Warp core secured
CO Capt Monroe says:
OPS: Great.
CO Capt Monroe says:
Self: What else can happen?
Ens Ar-Kol says:
%:: Feels his brother taking a hit and closes his eyes for a moment. He moves quickly towards the door, planning on ceiling it and fighting it out with the crew outside::
aCMO Ens Trigger says:
@:: Reluctantly complies and unleashes all the hell the Chameleon can muster upon the alien ship::

ACTION:  On the planet, another, yet weaker tsunami begins, heading in a different direction.  On the Nighthawk, the CNS rushes to prevent further damage to the ship.  On the alien vessel, Ra-Kol's life signs are quickly fading while Ar-Kol battles it out with the insurrections.  And the Chameleon?  She begins her own battle…
