Summary
	The Nighthawk met up with the smaller and less powerful fighters.  Time would have worn them down.  Instead they finally broke away and went to the planet to claim their missing crew and the Chameleon.  They headed out of the system leaving their nemesis behind.
	The first officer was captured.  The CSO took the team on and located the captain and missing XO.  Taking charge of the situation, they released their crew members just before being beamed back aboard the Nighthawk with one of the unlucky aliens.
	The captain found out his group was basically being used for guinea pigs and that these aliens wanted to create their own empire.  In killing and hurting some of his crew, he is ready for their blood.

Announcements

•	We will be coming to a conclusion for our joint arc with the Tal-War next week.  As no one objected, we will be meeting with them at their time, which is two hours before ours.  If there is a problem, please let me know ASAP.  The second option would be to meet in the hour between.
•	Thank you for your patience and help as we quickly got us to a place where we can do the joint.  My apologize things were pushed a bit to get us where we needed to be.
•	Tim let everyone know a few weeks ago in whispers about missing logs.  We may try a new system to help folks out with remembering each month what has been done. Like any good teacher, I am swiping someone else’s idea.  Let us know if it works or not.
•	Next week we will start off with the Tal-War meeting up with the Nighthawk.  Not quite sure if it will be just outside of the system or near the planet.  I will leave that to Sam.  Sam, please try to get with the TW captain and work something out.
•	With a week time lapse, there will be lots of opportunity for OOM’s, please try to get one in.
•	Don’t forget Mr. Lemmens

Time Lapse:
	One week  In that week:
•	The Nighthawk should be up and at norm.
•	All those experimented on will have a very rough week with different symptoms designed to kill you.  But come the end of the week everyone will be up and running if not at full strength.  Hopefully our CTO will be back but if not, he will be the exception.
•	CMO and MO, you will have your hands full working out the cocktail poisons they gave those in the lab.  If possible, work with those folks.
•	The CSO will be in charge of the ship during that time.  Lília, if you can do a communiqué with the TW captain that would be great.
•	You will have more information about the aliens with the one you took aboard… anyone up to an OOM with me?

Captain's Log Stardate 10604.29:  My team has been captured.  I have no idea how to get out of here.

Chief Science Officer's log, stardate 10604.29. We have just landed on the planet again, after clearing some of the metallic soldiers. We are about to enter the caves and look for the Captain's team. I wonder if our fate will be the same as theirs ....

Counselor's log stardate 10604.29: Most of the senior staff is on the planet below, leaving me in command. We are about to be attacked by a swarm, for the lack of a better word, of enemy vessels. I'll hold the line as long as I can... it had better be enough.

<<<<<<<<<< Double Trouble the Hour Before Dawn>>>>>>>>>>

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Straightens in the Big Chair [TM]:: All: Prepare for battle. :: Glances over at tactical:: TO: All available power to shields and weapons. :: He turns to the front again:: FCO: Evasive maneuvers. :: He reaches up to tap his commbadge::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Leading the way into the cave with his rifle at high port::

# ACTION: The first officer hears something that catches his attention.  He waves the others quietly forward, pausing to listen longer.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Looks around for enemy soldiers, holding a phaser rifle. How she misses the times when a tricorder was all she needed in an away team::
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Slowly wakes up::
TO Tar’Get says:
 :: Reroutes power to shields and weapons and begins targeting the approaching swarm::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: Bridge to engineering. Gustav, now is a good time for you to show how competant you are, and get me those generators online. We are under attack, so get a move on.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Nods to the XO::CMO: Looks like its just us, and it appears the metalics are gone ... or waiting to ambush us inside

Action: On the NH sensors, the armada from the planet can be seen spreading outward, coming closer th their general direction.

 Voice says:
@ CO: Thank you for joining us.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: Keep us in the moon's sensor shadow for as long as you can. :: Smiles slightly as the pilot just nods::
CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Still groggy:: Voice: Who are you?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#CSO: I hate it when that happens. ::pays close attention to everything around them::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Hears his call:: *CNS*: Gustav hears you comrade counselor. Gustav will work the best he can. ::Begins to run around, gather other engineers and actually convincing them they need to work harder on repairing the generators and keeping the ship together.::
 Voice says:
@ :: Leans forward::  CO: Your master.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#CMO: Well let’s find out, you want to go first? :: Points to the entrance and brings up her tricorder::
 
@ ACTION: SO Albers groans in pain as someone injects him with some unknown substance.

CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Blinks a couple times:: Voice: Who?  Where?  Master?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#CSO: Might as well Commander. :: Heads off into the cave::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: That is all I can ask. Bridge out.
 
# ACTION: From behind an unseen opening, one of the armored aliens steps out and grabs the XO, injecting him with a sleeping drug.  The first officer falls unconscious as he is dragged backwards.

TO Tar’Get says:
CNS: Commander... they'll be rounding the moon in about 10 minutes.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Follows the CMO looking for anything suspicious:: CMO: This is a maze ...
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#CSO: You getting any readings on that? :: Motions to her tricorder::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Looks back at the noise:: XO: Commander!
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: Understood. Plot firing vectors and target weapons and engines primarily.
 Voice says:
@ CO: When we are done with you and your crew, who have so kindly joined us so that we may test on many species, we will have you right where we want you.
TO Tar’Get says:
CNS: Aye. :: Makes some quick calculations and makes ready to fire::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Shakes her head:: CMO: He is gone, there is no trace of even an opening there. Its like these caves are custom made
 
@ ACTION: One of the captains AT, the one who triggered the trap, comes running down the tunnel and runs into the CSO.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Finally getting the hang of how to keep people busy and ordering them around, he appoints each and every available engineer on a task to keep the systems up. After he looks around, feeling quite satisfied, he quickly makes his way to the generator console and starts working on it. Starting with bringing up the current status and malfunctions::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#Sec: Mr Smith! Where is the Captain?
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: I am not really that great of a test subject.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Almost shoots Smith as he brushes past his shoulder::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Varesh closes his eyes briefly, takes a deep breath and ranges out with his mind towards the ships heading for them. Any tactical advantage would be good. If he could see who they are before they attack, then maybe they could reach a way to defeat them.::
Mr. Smith says:
# :: Catching his breath:: CSO: I don't know.  There was a trap that was triggered and he and all the others fell down into a large gab, just as the CTO and a few other tactical officers.  Then it closed and I was alone.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#Sec: Calm down Smithy... can you remember how to get back there?
 Voice says:
@ CO: You, no.  But your body... :: eyes narrow::  Tell me, how did you get away from so many of our traps?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Frowns glancing sideways to the CMO:: Smith: Yes, do you know the way back?
Mr. Smith says:
#CSO: Over there.  :: Raises his shaking arm and points to a hallway::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Follows carefully:: CMO/Smith: We don't want to fall in like the others so be cautious
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: My body?  :: Looks around:: I am not really your type though.  Traps what traps?
 Voice says:
@ CO: Both epidemics should have killed you, your crew and the various worlds.  Why have they failed?
Mr. Smith says:
#CSO: Aye.  :: Starts walking really slowly::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Nods and raises his rifle in the direction Smith pointed before cautiously heading that way::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Frowns:: Self: Lots of them, but annoyed... peculiar thought patterns. Nothing I have encountered to date... most perplexing.
CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: Epidemics?
 
ACTION: The alien ships have reached the moon which the NH hides behind and are beginning a thorough search, moving around it.

EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: One by one the malfunctions are repaired. Two fellow engineers are continuously busy replacing parts and repairing lines and connections as he is trying to solve all the software connections.:: *CNS*: Counselor, this is Gustav here. We are almost done with the generators. Gustav believes they will be ready in about 3 minutes.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Carefully walks with the others avoiding anythung that seems out of place::
 Voice says:
@:: sighs::  CO: Perhaps it was pure stupidity that saved you.  :: steps away.::  If that is the case, I have no need of you other then as a test subject.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: Good work, Gustav, and not a moment too early.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: How long until the ships arrive?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
*CNS*: Not all credit for Gustav commander, others helped too. ::Makes a few minor adjustments.:: There, you try and see if Gustav and comrades have repaired her well.
TO Tar’Get says:
CNS: Commander, we have about 5 minutes to be elsewhere sir.
 
@ ACTION: The XO is brought unconscious into the experimental lab and laid down ungentley.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: My thanks to all of them. :: Turns to the TO:: TO: We can fight our way out, or defend ourselves with the moon covering our one flank. Fighting our way out is an option only if everybody is here to make a run for it... but we have people on the planet.

# ACTION: The CSO leads the her team much quicker into the depths of the mountain as she follows Smith.  In no time Smith comes to an abrupt halt just before the trap.

CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Smiles:: Voice: Before you start dissecting me?  Where am I and what is this place?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Looks at the sec when he stops, stopping as well. Then scans ahead::
Mr. Smith says:
#:: Points to just ahead of him:: CSO: There.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Nudges at the wall with his rifle::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#Smith: I see ... now to get in without actually being trapped...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
::he scans the minds of the pilots approaching again... this time a bit more familiar because they are not an amorphous blob:: Self: more familiar, though definitely of both sexes. Women definitely think different from men.
 Voice says:
@CO: You are in what will be our new home and the center of a great empire!
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Feels proud and assigns one of his fellow engineers to monitor the generators and warn him if anything happens. He then quickly takes the other one with him and starts helping with keep the Nighthawk working, armed and dangerous.::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#CSO: I say we set it off, stand well back and see if anything's in it.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: What empire?  The Romulan Empire?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#CMO: Well I never though I'd do this in face of the unknown but ... ::fires her rifle at the trap::
 Voice says:
@ :: snorts:: CO: For one who has little information to give, you ask alot.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Readies his own rifle and waits to see what happens::
 
# ACTION: The trap door disintigrates, revealing a dirt dark chamber two stories down.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Frowns:: TO: Can you scan those ships? I need to confirm something. I need the gender of the pilots.
To Tar’get says:
:: Blinks and discreetly scans the incoming vessels::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#CMO/Smith: Interesting, firing first and asking questions later sometimes pays of indeed. Folow me and try to stay hidden :: Enters carefully making as little sound as possible::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: Well if you give me some information we can exchange
 Voice says:
@:: Looks up as the alarm goes off.::  CO: More of your people?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Follows the CSO remaining very alert::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: Time to show me what you can do. I notice they fly in a "flat" pattern, like they are not used to thinking in 3 dimensions.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Looks up:: Voice: What?  More people?  :: Wonders who it is up there.::

@ ACTION: The XO slowly begins to wake.  As he does, he finds various tubes intering his body.  Pain has become a companion.  He can hear moans of fellow officers along with the captain’s voice.

FCO Crasher says:
CNS: I see that too, sir. I'm sure we can exploit that.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Continues to move quietly and near the wall::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Also keeps close to the wall::

ACTION: The armada is just beyond the horizon where the Nighthawk is hiding.

CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Stops to inspect the door:: CMO: Could our phasers cut through that?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Slowly wakes and finds himself strapped to some kind of bed, pain searing through his body with various tubes and probes stuck into his body::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: Like I said, target their weapons and engines. ::leans closer to the pilot:: FCO: Fly circles around them, giving Tar'Get the best firing solutions.

# ACTION: The stomp of many feet can be heard by the a-team up above them.

CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Slings his rifle and takes out his hand phaser:: CSO: one way to find out... keep me covered. :: Fires a continuous stream at the bars::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Looks up at the sound:: CMO: I'd say someone knows we are here

# ACTION: The bars vanish, showing the away team a hallway leading in both directions.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: Fire at will.
TO Tar’Get says:
:: Targets the weapons on the 5 closest vessels and fires::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Tries to look around at the voices he is hearing, trying to locate them, the pain seriously hindering him in focusing on it::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#CMO/Smith: Let’s take ...left and quickly
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#CMO: Good job by the way Dr

@ ACTION: One of the armored scientists look down at the XO and injects him with a firey liquid that burns through his system.

FCO Crasher says:
:: Completes the evasive patterns and sits ready to implement them.::
 
ACTION: The superior Nighthawk weapons quickly disable the alien ships, but there are many coming to replace them.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Feels the liquid enter his system and winces, putting his head down on the bed again::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: Who is there?
 Voice says:
@ CO: Who else?  You tell me?
TO Tar’Get says:
:: Quickly re-targets and fires again::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Walks quickly in the chosen direction, her rifle in place::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Notices the peaks in power as the Nighthawk fires its weapons.:: *CNS*: Comrade commander, how are you holding up up there?

ACTION: The small fighters return fire, slowly wearing the ships shields down.

CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Follows the CSO keeping her well covered with his rifle again at his shoulder::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: There has to be a reason why all these pilots are women! I suppose reasoning with them will be out of the question.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: We're holding at the moment, but there are so many of them, we'll just be worn down in the end.

# ACTION: The away team can hear the cry of Albers as someone curiously cuts into her arm muscles.

TO Tar’Get says:
CNS: I've never found a woman yet that could be reasoned with Commander.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#Self: I know that voice :: Continues moving with more determination::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
:: Chuckles:: TO: I must introduce you to Randi sometime... you will not change your opinion.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Sighs:: Voice: There is a couple people that were with me.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
*CNS*: You let Gustav know if you need anything. Us engineers are finally managing quite well down here. The generators are gathering more power as we speak.
 Voice says:
@ CO: Aye... and now you shall join those who were working on you.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: That is great Gustav.

@ ACTION: The med tech leans down:: XO: How do you feel?

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: I'm thinking a run towards the planet to scan for the away teams - see if we can get them out by transporter. Beam someone onto the Chameleon to bring it back.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: You hurt them; I swear I will kill you with my bare hands.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Flanks the CSO as she strides forward::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Struggles with his restraints::

ACTION: The Nighthawk sheilds continue to drain as more and more ships appear and fly at them.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Feels the pain go down a little again, and raises his head again, as much as possible, to look around:: Voice: What.. Where am I?
TO Tar’Get says:
CNS: We really could do with the Cham here with us sir.
 Voice says:
@ :: Smiles::  CO: I believe you are too late.  Frustratingly or not, some of your crew are not as strong as other.  :: Points to a corner where shrouded bodies can be seen.::
TO Tar’Get says:
::taps his Com badge:: *EO*: I need more power to the shields Gustav.
 Voice says:
@ :: Looks over at the first officer.:: XO: You are in my domain.  Thank you for joining our party.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@Voice: Your domain.. What… What do you mean by that?
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Struggles even more with the restraint even more::  Voice: You will die.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: The dropping of the shields catch his attention as well and immediately starts to divert power to the shields:: *TO*: Aye comrade. Gustav will try to get power from less important systems and give them to shields.
 Voice says:
@ XO: You are an intruder who has volunteered to help out our testing of varous... drugs.
 Voice says:
@ :: Turns and laughs at the captain, the mechanical voice resounding through the room.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@Voice: I.. volunteered? :: Feels anger rising in himself, the pain forced to the background by the shift of focus::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: Make a break for the planet, we're getting our people out of there, whether they want to or not.
 Voice says:
@ XO: You are here are you not?
 Voice says:
@CO/XO: Now if you will excuse me, I have more of your people to attend to.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@Voice: I... I suppose I am... Why am I here?
FCO Crasher says:
 :: Draws the fight away from the moon, towards the planet::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@Voice: Don't you go away from me. :: Wrestles with the restraints::
TO Tar’Get says:
 :: Continues firing on the swarm::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: As soon as we are in range, scan for our people. Have one of the pilots stand by to beam down to the Chameleon and bring it back.
 Voice says:
@ :: With a shake of the head, exits he room, leaving the federation people to the medidcal technicians.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Keeps walking feeling anxiety increase as the corridor has no end::
 
ACTION: One by one the armada is either disabled or removed, but the Nighthawk pays the price in energy and shielding.

CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Spots a door up ahead:: CSO: That must be the one.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: The moment we have all of them, get out of here at top warp. My guess is these ships won't keep up.
TO Tar’Get says:
:: CNS: Aye sir. :: Fires a few more volleys::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Looks aside and finally spots the CO:: CO: Captain.. What.. What is going on here?
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Works hard and starts yelling to his fellow engineers, much to their disliking, to work harder on keeping the power up or level.::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Nods:: CMO: Agreed, something or someone came out of it, lets go.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: Gustav, how are we holding up? I don't want the shields to go at a critical moment.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@XO: Commander?  Why are you here?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#CMO: We have to take out the guards, you aim for the one closest to us and I'll take the other one
 
@ ACTION: A medical tech begins to remove the captain’s clothes while another turns on a heat lamp above him.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CO: I don't know... I wish I did... They just said... I.... ::Sighs:: Volunteered to test new drugs..?
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Waits to see that the voice is out of reach::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Wipes away a bit of his sweat on his face.:: *CNS*: Comrade! I do not know how much more she can take. I can only hold the shields together for so long. She can't last very much longer.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Nods:: CSO: On 3...  Ready... 1...2.......3 :: Fires on the closest guard::
FCO Crasher says:
:: Makes a break for the planet, fingers flying to keep the smaller ships off balance... as much as is possible with the larger ship.::

# ACTION: The two guards are thrown against the wall with a grunt.  One begins to get back up.

CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: I know Gustav, we're almost there.
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Shoots him again::
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Fires at the other guard::

# ACTION: Both guards still.

ACTION: The Nighthawk nears the planet with a tail of alien ships constantly firing on them.

 CO Capt Monroe says:
@:: Starts struggling again::  XO: New drugs?  No more like disection.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: Get a target lock on our people, I want them out of there now. Beam down the pilot to the Chameleon.
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Sighs:: *CNS*: I hope so Comra... ::Notices some serious warnings on his console:: Comrade... you need to get the Nighthawk out of here quickly. We have many problems all over ship. :: His voice starts to tremble:: She really can't hold out much longer... comrade.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Tries to get out of his restraints:: CO: I don't know... There is something about these people that I don't like..
 
@ ACTION: One of the techs lays a hand curiously on the captain’s stomach. "I did not know the men of your species could have children..."

TO Tar’Get says:
:: Scans for all federation personnel on the planet::
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*EO*: I'm in the process of doing that now, Gustav. 5 more minutes.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@XO: Same here.  When I get out of here I am going to take this place out.
 
@ ACTION: Another tech lies a small gem on the first officers chest.  Silence suddenly ensues as Albers goes quiet.

CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#CSO: These two have had it.
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
#:: Nods and enters the room looking around::
EO Ens Nescheriakova says:
:: Looks at even more warnings and flashing lights:: *CNS*: Gustav hope we have 5 more minutes comrade. ::He begins to order more of his fellow engineers to work, some of them already very tired. For some reason his voice sounds like reason and they nod and start to work even harder.::
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Sighs, still struggling:: CO: I am with you.. If only we could get out of here... I think they also mentioned more of our crew being here..?
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
TO: Do you have them?
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
#:: Enters right after the CSO::
 
@ ACTION: Various heads turn toward the new arrivals.

 CO Capt Monroe says:
@XO: Yes.  Did you bring a team here?
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CO: Yes... ::Feels the gem on his chest:: I did, but I guess I got separated...
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@CO: Captain? XO: Commander? CMO: Start taking ...those things out and check their vitals :: Goes to unstrap the CO::

@ ACTION: One of the technicians reaches for an alarm button.

XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@CO: I don't see any of.... ::Hears Gomes:: Or then again...
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
*CSO*: Alex, we're about to beam you all out of there, we have a horde of ships on our tail.
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@CSO: About time.  Give me a rifle.  :: Stands up, in total anger::
CMO LtJG Trigger says:
@:: Brings his rifle to bear on the Techs:: Techs: Up against the wall... NOW!
CSO Cmdr Gomes says:
@CO: My pleasure. :: Hands him the rifle and goes to unstrap the XO::
TO Tar’Get says:
CNS: I've got a bit of a lock but I can’t beam through that Rock sir. I could get down to the Cham and retrieve them that way though... might have more luck.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Still strapped down, though glad the others arrived::
 CO Capt Monroe says:
@::Checks the charge and sets it on kill:: CSO: Lead the way out of here.
XO Cmdr Jackson says:
@:: Is finally unstrapped and gets up to looking around the team::

ACTION: The TO finally gets a lock through the interference and is beamed aboard along with one of the technicians who reaches out at the same time to snatch the gem from the first officers chest.

TO Tar’Get says:
CNS: Got them in Transporter room 1 Commander.
CNS Cmdr Varesh says:
FCO: Get us out of here now!
FCO Crasher says:
:: Taps the controls and the ship swings around, to speed away at high warp::

Scenery: In the transporter room, stand various crew members along with one of the aliens.  But also lying near by are the bodies of tactical officers that will never rise again.
 
ACTION: The Nighthawk speeds away from the planet, the armada of smaller ships and their two nemesis ships who arrive just in time to see them warp out.  Colorful language is heard on their bridges.
