==========Begin Act-I - "Beachhead" ==========

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::on the Bridge awaiting Orders from the Fleet::

ACTION: Almost in unison, the Fourth Fleet armada drops out of warp, one million kilometers away from the Planet Shai. Ships pop into real space one by one, in pairs or in groups, maneuvering into formation. Space itself vibrates with the energy bleeding off so many engines and shields in close proximity.

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Exits his quarters and heads to the bridge::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::walks into Main Engineering, smiling as he realizes the other Engineers have learned which consoles to avoid using when he's on duty::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10612.17, Captain Ayidee recording.  The Cherokee is en route to Shai to take part in what is hoped to be the last major battle of the Synod war.  Our detachment of ground troops and our own landing ships are ready to go, as soon as we get close enough.

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
::at Science Station One::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::At the Tactical station, running diagnostics of the weapons, shields, sensors, and tractor emitters for the tenth time::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::on the bridge of the Claymore, sitting up as the ship drops out of warp:: CEO/EO: Shields to Maximum, shift them forward.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO/TOs: Weapons at the ready...

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::notices everyone is wearing the new combat uniforms, which follows the standing order he had made following the incident during the recent simulation::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.::  All: Here we go, everyone double check all systems, we need to keep sharp.  Trip in may be as rough as the landing itself.

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Shields are at maximum

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::sitting on the Bridge in the command chair:: CIV: Could you tie weapons into your console Commander.

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
CO: Well, here goes nothing

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::monitors the sensors with a careful eye as she sits at SCI 1 on the bridge::  XO: Aye sir.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::gives a look to navigational sensors and checks the ship's position:: AXO: So far so good Lieutenant.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::sits down at the desk level console, with a view of the Warp Core; he checks to make sure damage control teams are at the ready all over the ship::

Claymore_AOPS_Ens_Kelvin says:
::Glances up from his console:: CO: Tactical ready, Captain. Awaiting further instructions.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Weapons hot, and on standby, captain. May we be bold, and successful today.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
::sitting on the bridge, watching the crew prepare for the final battle, hoping the Federation will "win" again::

Cherokee_TO_Ens_D’amato says:
CO: All systems are in the green... weapons systems charged and Shields at 100 percent.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::ties the weapons through her console::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The command crew of the Andromeda is on the IKS Ghost accompanied by the Nighthawk CO

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
FCO: Sorry you didn't get a more peaceful start to your Academy externship, Miss Polo.

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Transferring power from the warp engines to shields and weapons.  Shields are at maximum, phasers online, torpedoes standing by - photons and quantums.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::picks at the left shoulder of the new uniform::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Brings weapons to full ready, shields to full, and reinforces the shields and structural integrity with any spare power she can find::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
CTO: How's the systems look?

Quirinus_XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Standing next to the captain::

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Enters the bridge and moves to his normal station:: Computer: Transfer all engineering command functions to this bridge station.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: Trial by fire, I like it. ::grins:: Ma'am do you need me to enslave OPS to my console?

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Scans?

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Sitting at a console looking over geographical reports of the planet::

Claymore_EO_Crewman_Shiffler says:
EO:  I don't like it either.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
AFCO: Go right ahead, good thinking Cadet.

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Having completed an inspection of the ground troops and their equipment, enters the bridge::

SCENE: Commodore Sketek is in command of Task Force 2 which is the Field group

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: We're coming up on the planet. Damn it looks crazy out there! 

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: Cocked, locked, and ready to rock, Captain. I've got multiple targets on several vectors out there. You can't hardly miss hitting something out here.

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
::in the shuttlebay with flight crews, preparing shuttles for departure:: *CO*: We are almost ready down here, sir.

SCENE: In a force of ships nearly a thousand strong, most of what remains of the Synod space navy is arrayed in lines and columns, prepared for the battle. All angles and menace, the Synod ships fill the sky above Shai, determined to keep their last stronghold from falling.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::turns towards the voice, and grins a little::   Shiffler: Given the circumstances, I'm going to take this over the regular uniform - especially with engineers coming at me with knives and all.

SCENE: There are many targets in the tactical briefing

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smirks as she hears the cadet and remembers her first days on a starship::

SCENE: There is artillery for anti-starship actions.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Captain, this is Commander Hazzard in the shuttlebay with the ground troops.  They report ready for departure and are ready to kick some Synod tail feather.  My men are also ready to rock.

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Picking up over a thousand Synod vessels, Captain, of all classes.  They're certainly ready for us...

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Open a Channel to the Claymore please.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::pushes a few keys on her console and starts receiving the feedback from OPS:: Self: And now it's time to rock and roll.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Recommendations for attack points.

SCENE: There are ionizer batteries in the jungle which prevent beaming and obscure the surface from above to sensors

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM: Orbital: Are orbital ships ready?

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Aye, sir. It's open.

Cherokee_TO_Ens_D’amato says:
CO: Sir, were picking up preliminary telemetry on the Synod force.  Looks like they have prepared a welcoming committee for us.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::as her sensors register the fleet in front of them her heart begins to sink::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::smiles behind her hand and the eager young woman::

Claymore_EO_Crewman_Shiffler says:
::smiles a little herself, but the expression is short-lived as she begins to feel the fear she felt that day; she continues monitoring the ship's defensive systems::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Reads the briefing and target ID's again::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
MO: Form up with the Claymore.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: We're going to be busy, Captain. They've fot almost a thousand ships out there from gunboats and frigates on up to cruisers and bigger.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Slapping on his gear, adjusting the chin strap on his helmet::

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
 ::opens a comm channel:: CO: Channel open sir

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: The Synod fleet is in front of us.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
::Having gathered some medical supplies, enters the shuttlebay to meet up with CTO and the ground troops:: CTO: Okay, I made it. I hope I have everything.

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
CTO: Looks like you guys are ready to do some damage.

INFO: Behind the Synod, on the planet, bright gold lights are seen rising from the surface, exploding in the upper atmosphere. Almost instantly, the planet becomes a ball of white static to Starfleet sensors. The ionizing charges being detonated in the atmosphere is making it impossible to see anything on their sensors.

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Watches the scene while reviewing the objectives of the ground assault in his mind::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
COM: Claymore: CO: Captain, Daylan, We stand ready.

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
AXO: Engineering is ready.  Shields have full power as do sensors and weapons.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::flexes his left arm, amazed how much it's healed in the last couple of weeks, and is also amazed how comfortable these new combat uniforms feel::

SCENE: The Field group id led by the Andromeda, Cherokee, Delphyne and Sharikar.

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Adjusting the new body amour to fit nicely around him::

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Its what I specialize in.  Be glad to know your up their giving us air support though sir.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
*CTO/ XO*: I'll be joining you as soon as we arrive in orbit.  D'Amato: Noted, keep your eyes sharp.  Get us in, and then start an orbital bombardment.  Don't stop until the First fleet landing ship enters the atmosphere.

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: I suppose we're to follow Captain Daylan again.... best of luck to all of us.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM: Quirinus: Quirinus, are you ready?

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::moves the ship in formation with the Claymore, reaching back into her past and remembering how good of a flyer she once was:: 

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
::shoots a look of horror at Hembrook:: CTO: How bad are we out numbered?

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: They just set off ion charges in the atmosphere, Captain, the sensors are only picking up static around the planet now.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::looks at the fleet before them:: CIV: What a sight.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::monitors weapons, and keeps an eye on some of the other systems as well - life support one of them::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
::leans over to see the incoming information::  CO:  You better take a look at this Captain.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: He's joining us.  Lord...when will he learn to stay up there and let us take the risks.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::looks at the tactical command overlay to sensors:: ALL: Damn it what is that?

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
Self: What the heck is that

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Looks over.::  Adm: What do we have?

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
XO: Please be careful, Commander.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
CIV: Can you Modulate the sensors to cut through that ?

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Field: This is Commodore Sketek. I see all our ships in the sensors and everyone should prepare for the battle.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Claymore: Quirinus in position.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: They are ionizing their atmosphere, rending our sensors from reading anything.   However before they went out, they registered nearly a thousand ships out there.

Cherokee_TO_Ens_D’amato says:
CO: Sir...enemy formations are similar to what we saw at the Nebula.  We've got some HFS's ready to go when you say the word sir.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CO:  All sensors are now blocked.

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
All: Reading ionizing charges in the atmosphere... they've ionized their atmosphere.  Beaming will be impossible.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Adjusts new amour tighter::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
COM: Andromeda: Cherokee acknowledged, we're ready for our entry.

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CSO: Word of advice, pack some extra cells for your phaser

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM: Orbital: Orbital Group 2 reads ready. Waiting behind Group 1.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
::Double checks the supplies he carries in a large med-kit::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
CTO: One day, probably not soon.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Ionizing charges. We can't get transporter locks on anything through that. 

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Andromeda: Received, Commodore, the Sharikahr stands ready for instructions

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Nods at the CEO, too frightened to speak properly::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
CNS: Thank you Garrison, take care of Mr. Hazzard.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: shakes his head and turns to the CNS :: CNS: You all set to go, Doc?  Gonna need ya to patch me up if I get a bit singed.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
COM: Claymore: We just lost Sensor readings on the target do you have anything?

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Adm: Not surprised they tried, but that's a clever way to do it.  Will prevent Transporters and pinpoint bombing.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
OPS: If each of us took out 4 ships, we'd only break even, Mr. Tucker.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
XO: I'll do my best, Sir.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::looks at the many transponder signals on her navigational sensors and waits eagerly for the orders to move::

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Packs some spare cells and some engineering kit into the various pouches on the battle amour and checks the phaser rifle one more time::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Take us to wing position.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
CTO: I'm ready, I guess.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Sees Conor and copies what he’s doing::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CO:  Yes it will.  The AT needs to know this.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
*XO/ CTO/ CNS*: Sensors are blind to the planet's surface, be warned, we're going in blind.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CTO: Nothing like accomplishing the impossible eh?

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::taps console, knowing the calm before the storm won't last forever::

SCENE: Far behind the Synod lines, there is an explosion of lights, flickering like stars. The crews of the Cherokee and the Andromeda have seen this before. Arcing over the tops of the Synod lines comes 3000 resonance torpedoes.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Notices he’s forgotten the sensor gear, quickly runs to get it and returns::

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*CO*: Well, at least it won't be boring now will it sir?  So much for my naptime today.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
::grins as Tio sends the message::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::runs her hands through her hair, sweating slightly::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Claymore: Assuming wing flight pattern.  Ready on your mark.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Adjusts the sight on his rifle::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
OPS: I do the impossible every day, but for miracles I prefer 24 hours notice. ::winks::

Cherokee_TO_Ens_D’amato says:
CO: Incoming Torpedo Salvo...3000 strong!

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Tweaks about with his rifle...::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::shifts in his seat again::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM: Orbital: Forward shields to maximum!

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Field: The Andromeda crew, currently in I.K.S. Ghost, will try to make a first landing on the planet.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Field: We will use the cloaking device and try to sabotage some of their defense systems.

Quirinus_AFCO_Smothers says:
CO: We're in position, Captain.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
::smiles and then looks at his sensor display::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CO:  Captain, would you like me to take Tac2 or stay at the SO console?

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Do as he says forward shields to max.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
D'amato: Relax, keep focused.  Just do what you can to slow them up.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
AFCO: Prepare for evasive maneuvers, Cadet.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Listens to the Commodore talking, but doesn't take much in::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Forward shields full up transfer power as necessary.

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Usual initial attack.... :: grins, hoping they've got something better than to just scatter ::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
ALL: Incoming! ::Sets forward shields to max, and reinforces them, then sets the phasers to "point defense" to automatically target and engage as many targets as possible::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Here we go! ::programs evasive maneuvers on the torpedoes come over:: 

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CTO: Engage the cloaking device.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Aye Captain...forward shields to max!

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sees the torpedoes::  AXO: Incoming, buffering the ship's forward shields.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods and takes a breath...letting loose a salvo of proximity fused equipped torpedoes...sending them in the path of the incoming resonance torpedoes...hoping to intercept and destroy a good sized portion of them. ::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Returns to science console::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
CIV: Captain, Regnum if we where to launch a Probe into the Upper Atmophere could i cut through some of our problems with sensors?

Claymore_TO_Ens_Zero says:
::Gets ready to shoot stuff:: Self: Hope they'll go for everyone else but me.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Sir, confirming all sensor readings of the planet are now failing...

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Adm: For now you can stay in Commander Worthington's seat.  When we reach insertion point you'll take mine.  Just set your display to sensor readouts until then.

ACTION: The Klingon Fleet is cloaked

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: There ionizers are fully active....

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
CO: It's worth a try

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: Evasive maneuvers Ma'am?

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
::begins readying a probe::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CO:  Aye Captain! ::looking down at her console::

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Launching high yield torpedoes.... :: Launches the modified photons ::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
CIV: Prepare the Probe and Launch when ready.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ALL: I can't believe we're going to destroy an entire planet... I've never heard of anything like this in all of my lifetimes... ::shakes her head::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Inform the fleet of our intentions.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
AFCO: Yes Cadet, Lets avoid most of those torpedoes

SCENE: The forward line of combat ships launch a large salvo of torpedoes. Gold starts leap out in a mass, right into the middle of the incoming Synod torpedoes. In a flash that rivals the system's sun, they go off, taking most of the Synod missiles with them. Only a few make it through.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AFCO: Cadet, I will link our two stations so that I can coordinate the weapons to your flying.

Cherokee_TO_Ens_D’amato says:
CO: Proximity torpedoes away, sir.

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::braces himself, shields at 103%::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
CTO: Going in blind, well I am glad they are going to make this a little challenging. I was thinking it was going to be a walk in the park.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
MO: I know how you feel Doctor, I know how you feel, but they set the stage not us.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: starts to head towards his transport. :: XO: We gotta earn our pay somehow.  CO: Anything I can get you while I'm out?

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers:  They have not been in battle long enough to develop tactical skill...still the untried will often do the unexpected.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO/TO: Alright, lets get ready. Our turn next. Tactical, target the ships protecting the planet. Ready phalanx and full spreads from all three forward launchers.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Oh, don't call me doctor, sir... Makes me feel old...

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
XO: That sounds rather nice, about now.

Claymore_EO_Crewman_Shiffler says:
EO:  Shields have been shifted forward...looks like it's starting.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Engages any remaining torpedoes in her field of fire to try and defend the fleet::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: Ensign Kelvin, signal Quirinus and Raviraj to do the same.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
::Follows the CTO::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
CTO: Yea, bring my crew back unharmed and some whiskey,

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
D'Amato: Nice work.  Looks like the fleet learned from the Sethan Pulsar.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
CIV: Aye ma'am :: enters evasive maneuver alpha 3 in the helm console::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Moves to his console and confirms the cloak:: CO: Our cloaking device is active.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
Klingon FCO: Take a course directly at the planet.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::nods, feeling the heat around his heck and on his forehead::  Shiffler: Good....let's get this over with.

Cherokee_TO_Ens_D’amato says:
CO: The Chief thought they would try that stunt again...he wanted to tell you the shotgun is loaded and primed for bird....not bear.

RAVIRAJ ACTION: Raviraj's computer targets dozens upon dozens of the incoming Synod torpedoes, taking scores of them out with the torpedo screen warheads, and the rest heading for Raviraj with concentrated bursts of phaser fire. Two, however, slip by and strike the ship's forward shields.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
CTO: Great work continue point defense., but make sure we don't exhaust all banks at any one time. Balance usage as best you can.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Continues looking over the sensors, notices that they're no where near as good as the Andromeda's::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::pulls phaser from the holster that is somehow a part of the new uniform and makes sure it is on maximum stun, then places it back in the holster::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::shakes in his seat::

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
::launches the probe::

CHEROKEE ACTION:  One torpedo explodes near the Cherokee, momentarily knocking out a few systems.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::lurches forward over the helm as the ship is hit:: 

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Damage report!

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Holds on as the ship is rocked by the hits:: CO: Doing the best I can Sir, but the priority was to keep anything from hitting us...

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: waits for the CNS to board and flips a salute to the XO :: XO: Try not to get shot down...I'd hate for someone else to have that pleasure.  Watch yourself, sir.

SCENE: Sensors across the fleet light up. Flagship Andromeda just jumped into the system. Behind her, an entire Klingon battle group is decloaking and forming up with the Fourth Fleet.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: We're still doing good, Captain. 

Claymore_AOPS_Ens_Kelvin says:
::Nods at the direction of the Captain:: COM: Quirinus, Raviraj: Claymore here, target the ships protecting the planet, prepare full tactical capabilities per mark.

ACTION: The massive sunburst from the screen casts a shadow on what could be ships

Claymore_TO_Ens_Zero says:
::Nods and readies weapons::

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Shields down to 90%...no hull damage.....augmenting with auxiliary power

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Oh, hey! The Klingons have arrived. ::thinks that is interesting::

SHARIKAHR ACTION: The Sharikahr arcs at the command of the evasive maneuver.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
ALL: The Andromeda just got here, and she brought some Klingon friends... we just got reinforced.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Rebalance shields and distribute a repair team to deck 2.

CHEROKEE ACTION:  Two unknown Synod emplacements explode from the XO's fire at known targets.

ACTION: The Synod lines begin to crumble - no longer one unified mass, but separate disjoint groups - as the Starfleet forces spear toward the planet and retreat, firing from all sides.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Not a problem, consider yourself covered.  Until then, I'll just keep my eye sharp with a few practice shots.  ::Continues to fire at targets of opportunity.::

@:: takes a moment to look toward the sky...shaking his head at the flying maneuvers of his XO. :: CNS: That man should have his driver's license revoked, but he is dang good.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Cracks his rifle on the head of another attacker::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Those coordinates are not definitive sir... the ionizers are giving too much interference. ::Smacks soldier in the nose, crunch!::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::identifies the sections that are experiencing brownouts, none of which seem to have critical systems::

CTO: Can we time out hits? The cruiser is following us anyway.

ACTION: The Beachforces involving the Sharikahr, Nighthawk, and Andromeda move into the jungle tree line

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Checks his tricorder for the coordinates::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: Plot course behind our battle group, in system warp for 2 seconds on my mark!

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Shouts with the pain::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
CSO: Be still... you are not helping.

ACTION: The Quirinus easily dispatches their attacking Pebet, fires at the Aken, and moves to the fore of the Claymore.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Tactical: Ready a second salvo for the mass of Synod ships. Lets split them up.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::looks at the jungle and prepares for sneak attacks::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
FCO: I can finish off the platform with the rear torpedo tubes...

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::runs a level five diagnostic on the warp core::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#Self: Using trash to take out trash.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CTO: Let's do it! When the cruiser comes in, let her rip.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
CTO: If you can get it before we warp ....

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she beams the microtorpedoes into the Synod, hoping it works::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: We'll get it, Captain.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Grunts::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Nighthawk CO sees one ionizer battery in the jungle 50 meters north

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Gently as possible, inserts a plug and then uses a band aide as a brace on the other nose.::  CSO: It is not much and won't help the pain, but you won't bleed over everything.

ACTION: The Aken ignores its aft damage from Quirinus, attack the Raviraj from the rear with an almost obsessive zeal, landing one torpedo to her aft shields.

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::stops and scans again, trying to find any fragments she may have missed::

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: watches as the XO deposits a burning wreck onto the Synod forces...the OPS adding her two cents into the battle with the detonation of microtorpedos into the midst. :: *XO/OPS: Awesome work folks!!  I don't think they knew what hit them!!

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
NH_SO: Thank you...

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Concentrates all her fire on the platform, watching the damage readouts, saving the final volley from the rear torpedoes on the power core until the last second::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Torpedoes target starboard and nacelles of the Aken.  Full spread.

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: They're practically here. ::Points at the ionizer visible from their current location::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
All: Come on, lets meet with the CO! Conor, come on!

CHEROKEE ACTION:  The Synod vessel part is dropped by the XO.  When it lands a large crater is created in the ground.  Suddenly a large explosion occurs.  It must have hit and underground armory.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Starts sprinting to the battery, firing::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: All Auxiliary power to Aft Shields!

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::flicks a quick look toward the Sharikahr and breathes a thankful prayer that her daughter is safe on Bajor::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Begins heading for the CO, can feel the blood sloshing in his nose::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::catches her hand:: CMO: I'll be all right. ::meets her eyes:: Honest. Sit down before you get hurt. Keep an eye out for hull fractures. We don't need to decompress and lose a section.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
FCO: Whenever you're ready...

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@::Sees the big ka-boom:: CTO: Was that one of ours?

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Nighthawk CO attacks the battery opens fire

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: stuffs her stuff back in the kit as she runs to follow.::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CTO: HIT IT!

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
::transfers all power to aft shields::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Follows the CSO, glances to make sure the NH_SO is there too::

CHEROKEE ACTION: Micro-Torpedoes from the shuttle Aniawi are beamed into the Synod forces, acting like mines in the midst of the soldiers.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::accelerates the Raviraj as best she can out of the line of the explosion::

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Starts sprinting towards the battery and shouts to the CSO:: CSO: It will clot in your nose eventually, you'll live this time!

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: We can't stay here Warp now.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: ducks down to avoid fire and debris.  CNS: I hope not.  Looked like one of them...remind me to get that whiskey for the XO...he earned it with that one!

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::brings power transfer conduits to maximum yield, and disengages safeties from the matter/antimatter reaction in the core::

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: Skipper, any plant on how to take those batteries?

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: I have a lock. Firing all weapons! ::triangulates all weapon impacts to the rest of the orbital fleet groups, even if some are too busy to respond::

ACTION: Around the battery the Nighthawk CO is firing upon a large group suddenly appears and moves forward to attack.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Slides to the left under cover, and returns fire::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Aye. ::prepares to warp out::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CTO: Begin setting up the charges.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Enters the jungle and approaches the CO, notices the NH_CO firing...::

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: returns his attention to the Synod troops...using his phaser rifle to pick off one...two..three more of their troops before ducking back down to avoid return fire. ::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Specific orders sir?

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Watches some of the more hotheaded officers sprint towards the ionizer and shakes his head::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Fires the volley from the rear tubes::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Mutters::  There he is... ::begins to make her way back to her captain.::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Notices the new attack squad and begins firing from a distance::

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@CTO: Aaa! Sure, I'll just locate a spirit shop with my tricorder..... ::Finishes dressing the wound of the soldier::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
FCO: Jump!

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Jumps in beside the NH_CO and throws a few more grenades at the soldiers::

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
Self: Why do I get myself into these messes.  ::Grabs a grenade and launches it towards the group::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: Engage.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::increases matter/antimatter cycles to maximum power yield, and he continues feeding this power into shields and into his reserve cache::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::A feral grin shows on her face as she readies for more fighting::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
All: Another attack coming! Stay together with others and keep your groups organized!

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::sees the bleeding has almost stopped:: CO: All right... for now. I reserve the right to change my mind. Sir. ::squeezes his hand back and moves to her usual console when on the bridge::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::jumps the ship:: 

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Stood next to the CO and CTO, continues firing::

CLAYMORE ACTION: Aboard the ship, Claymore's crew can feel the bark of her launchers as she fires, almost as if she's angry for the damage she's sustained. Gold stars leap out and explode amongst the Synod, outright destroying the smaller ships and seriously damaging the bigger ones. The group starts to open up.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Aft shields at 56%....

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
All: Except for the CTOs, fight back and buy them time!

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
AFCO: I'm afraid this kind of combat is not something I trained very much for. I hoping we can manage to surround it and then tighten the ring until they are dead or surrender.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Fires upon the new attack squad, praying his nose doesn't get touched.

ACTION: The Raviraj executes an in-system warp burst, nearly colliding with a Klingon K'tinga battlecruiser and a 4th Fleet Defiant escort, and exits nearly on top of a Synod orbital platform.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Follows the NH_SO towards her CO::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Cherokee: Requesting status?

CHEROKEE ACTION:  Fire ceases from behind the CTO.  The microtorpedo has done its job.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: Sounds like a plan to me, uh ah!

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Jogs to NH_CTO::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#*CTO*: Keep your head down. I am going to try something new.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::curses:: CO: Something threw navigations off! 

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Sir, I'm trying to sensor map the area, once that battery goes offline I should get a better idea of where the others are.

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Wincing as she feels something streak past her shoulder, she makes it near her captain before dropping to avoid someone swinging something at her.:: NH_CO: Didn't you say something about staying near by?

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@CTO: All clear behind us, according to my trusty tricorder.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Ducks down in a nearby bush land::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
COM: Andromeda: Commodore_CO_Sketek: We're moving forward, so far resistance is as expected.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Locks onto the platform and fires everything she can bring to bear on it::

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: lifts his head to see that the group to the East has ceased fire...and living for that matter. :: *OPS*: Oatmeal...this is Treeboy... whatever that was... I'm buying you something shiny for it...Awesome work!

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
NH_CTO: We'll go and do the demolition while the others try to keep us covered.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO*: Mow em down and we'll mop 'em up, sir.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: Full axis rotation to port.

ACTION: Uncharacteristically disciplined, Klingon ships in the atmosphere of the world avoid attacking civilian Synod cities on the ground that sprung up around the many bases, concentrating instead on military installations.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::watches as Claymore's new Warp Core hums at an increased rate, attempting in vain to feed all of the ship's power hungry systems::

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Feels a bump from the Brianna:: NH_SO: Um I did?  ::Smiles::  Good to see you too.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Cherokee: Good to hear that. Keep me updated if there are any news.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Concentrate all shield energy facing the platform!

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Fires the lateral phasers as the ship rolls::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Rotating...

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CTO*:  You are welcome Treeboy.  Just you coming back will be thanks enough.  After all, the kids need their uncle.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Hears an approaching body, stops and turns:: CTO: Sir  ::lowers her fist::  Sounds like a plan, lead the way.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
::rotates the shield power::

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CEO: Cover the left.  I'll take the right.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Sharikahr: Your status? We are about to blow the ionizers. How's the artillery?

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Continues trying to map the energy readings::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*EO*: How are things down there, Lieutenant?

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::follows the CTO now:: CTO: By the way, Lt. Llynisika from the Delphyne

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
NH_CO: We are to pull back and let the tactical officers do their job.  :: Looks worried:: Are you alright?

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Tactical Officers set the charge on the first battery and the charges begin to beep

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
CEO/CIV: I think our best bet is to surround the artillery and then close the ring until we take it down.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Aye captain....

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*Adm*: This is Ground Force Two...One casualty and a few wounded.  Preparing to move forward after the XO is down dropping everything AND the kitchen sink on the enemy.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
COM: Andromeda: Commodore_CO_Sketek: Understood, we will continue with the mission as planned.  Good luck Commodore.

ACTION: The Synod platform, only 300 meters off the ventral side of Raviraj, trains all of its energy cannons on the scrambling Saber-Class ship. The platform weapons cycle up to full power.

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#::over the next ridge is a squadron approaching, making a low run he deposits a circle of plasma around the group, then ascends into the air and hovers in the middle. Firing a continuous pulse he then spins 360 degrees igniting the plasma.:: *CTO*: I have some captives for you to pick off.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@::Watches the patched up soldier bravely return to his troop::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: We have at least one shuttle pod on this boat right?

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Andromeda: Under heavy fire. Doing our best to take them down.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::watches console::  *CO*: Warp core efficiency at 107.2%, Shields are back up to around 48 or 49%.  We're trying to draw power back in as fast as possible, sir.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::evasive maneuvers to avoid the cannon fire::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
FCO: Get us outta here or we are gonna get hammered! They are powering all their guns!

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
AXO: I have a tricorder.  If set to overload near the control panel should take care of it.

ACTION: A wing of Synod Kuk-class fighters, having lost their home ship, focuses on the ship that killed it. Claymore's shields light up with impacts as the many small fighters swarm her like locusts.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: It won't matter because the Synod will just destroy it as soon as it deploys::

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
ALL: This is going to hurt!

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks at his uniform, tattered and ripped, his body armor still holding::  NH_SO: Nothing a few stitches can fix up, you alright?

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Runs away from the charges:: DEL_CTO: I'm Commander Senek of the Andromeda, nice to meet you.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
CIV: Then go to it Commander. We'll cover you.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO*: Noted, sir.  We're on it.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
All: The ionizers have been charged! Take cover!

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::ducks::

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
AXO: We are ready here.  Give the signal and we will move on them.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Runs away from the charges::

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: Maybe we could use some photon grenades and create a good diversion.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Hears the order and ducks in the bushes::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Tries to keep his cover as well as possible::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO: Lieutenant, evasive maneuvers and return fire!

RAVIRAJ ACTION: The constant fire on the artillery has taken down several batteries, but there are many more

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: Gathers his troops to continue their advance forward....letting the CNS have a few troops to assist with the medical beam outs. ::

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@::Has the dead soldier picked up by Field Med-station transport::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
NH_CO: Yes... now lets pull back please... :: scans the area with her eyes, what she can see. ::  Looks like more party crashers incoming.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*EO*: Shield power to ventral shields!

CHEROKEE ACTION:  The smell of charred avians waft towards the CTO's group.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::feels the new wave of attacks as they bounce projectiles and energy particles off the shields::  *CO*: Belay my last....shields at 41%....38%...

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Helm: Roll us to starboard. Turn our belly to them.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: I don't care about that. Match its Energy Signature to ours and Auto launch it out the back and then cut all power to engines. Do it fast!

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
CTO: Likewise Commander.  ::Hears the order and runs::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Ducks down::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::With the ambush broken up, moves scope to the forward groups.::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Fires everything she can at the platform as long as it's still working, hoping to put something out of action before it fires::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::wonders who's idea it was to engage an entire, PLANET::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::readjusts shields, focusing them ventral, fore and aft::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
CEO: Change of plan, the CIV is planting a bomb of sorts. Have your men cover her.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: covers his nose and mouth but doesn't let his troops see his discomfort. :: Soldiers/Troops: All Men...forward!

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::does what the CO orders::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Runs and takes cover::

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: Sir, here is an energy map of the area, with the first few ionizers offline sensors should start picking things up... this energy map indicates where the other ionizers are, but its a weak and unreliable map. I tried...

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
NH_SO: Aye.  ::Runs::

ACTION: The Andromeda/Nighthawk/Sharikahr beachhead flee from one of the ionizers.  The ionizer explodes in a hail of shrapnel, a sensor hole opens where the battery was orbits can see just in that hole

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::shoots Valles a look:  Valles:  Where are we at, reserve wise?

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
AFCO: By all means, Cadet. CIV: Go to it

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::duck and runs from cover to cover as she pushes towards one of the batteries::  Self: Next time send a memo.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@::Sniffs:: CTO: Smells like fried chicken, huh?

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
Team: You heard the boss, lay down cover fire.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Follows the CO:: CO: Orbital vessels will be able to see through the hole... and assist...

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@CNS: Not even close.  Lets move out, Doc!

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::moves laterally with other three officers and start laying down covering fire with photon grenades::

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Begins firing with his team to cover the CIV::

CLAYMORE ACTION: One part of the ship escaped notice. Its gravity plates are offline. When the ship rolled, the personnel in it didn't. They've fallen against the wall, with equipment on them.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Captain...we have sensor contact to the surface

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: Don't move an inch!

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Trying to keep low, runs as quickly as she can.  At one point she has to leap over something.  Stumbling, she looks back to see a body.::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::orders and all stop::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: What contact?

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: All: One of their ionizers has been wiped out. Request for orbital support!

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: Once again leads from the front of his group towards the next waypoint...keeping his teams tight and focused while they scour the battlefield for any survivors from the XO's daredevil tactics.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Smiles:: CTO: Some party here

Claymore_EO_Crewman_Valles says:
EO: There's are some gigawatts to play with there, sir.  It's hard to determine an exact number with all the systems drawing power.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Captain, we can't take much more of this... we stand a better chance if we can land on the planet, at least we wouldn't be shot out of the sky...

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Move towards the nearest artillery battery, let's see if we can make things easier on those dealing with the orbital systems.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
::Notices the CO is pre-occupied so transfers the energy map and leaves::

RAVIRAJ ACTION: The Synod artillery beneath Raviraj is struck hard by a salvo of Klingon polaron torpedoes, just as the Raviraj herself deploys a desperate "wild weasel" shuttle diversion, drawing some of the fire from the platform, but the remainder collapses the Raviraj's shields just as she's caught in the shockwave of the platform's destruction.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM: Andromeda: Acknowledged, Andromeda. Fire mission on its way. Relay coordinates.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Seems some of our people were able to destroy on of there ionizers

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
COM: Orbital: Quirinus, detach for orbital fire mission.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::nods::  Valles:  It's a tough call.  Do we dump power now and just feed right to the shields, or do we continue to build reserves and put ourselves at risk?

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*CO*: On our way, Garfield.  Treeboy out.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Holds on as the ship gets hammered::

Claymore_EO_Crewman_Valles says:
::shrugs::  EO: There's a reason you're commissioned and I'm getting recommended for reprimands, sir.  ::smiles a little::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Kneels down to treat the man, ignoring all the blood.::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Helm: Move us in.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Taking coordinates from his tricorder, calculating them::

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Claymore: Aye.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Signal the Distress call.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Claymore: Transmitting the coordinates.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Self: Owyn is going to kill me... ::makes a final made dash to the battery.  She fires at a Synod that is near by, then drops to her knee to set the tricorder to overload::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
NH_CTO: And it doesn't seem it'll be over very soon..

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
All: ::Shouts:: Check your tricorders for an energy overlay map. That should give you an idea where the next ionizers are...

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::dumps power reserves into shields and discontinues his draw from the warp core power output; warp core efficiency level continues to run high::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::bangs her head against the console and starts to bleed but she's okay:: 

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: Angle us into the atmosphere. Do we have any maneuvering left?

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Sees Brianna try to treat someone, kneels beside her:: NH_SO: You sure you want to treat him?

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::winks at Valles::  Valles:  Touch?, Crewman....touch?.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Do I look orange?  Well, at least it wasn't "Hello Kitty" I guess.

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#COM: Alpha Squadron: Regroup. Kill anything that moves out there. Stay in close formation and just burn the ground in front of our teams, almost like a rake. Let's go!

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::snipes at the Synod troop what was ready to hit the Civilian:: Self: Down you go you meanie!

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Approaching atmosphere now. 

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
CTO: No, too many party crashers  ::looks around::

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
COM: Orbital: May-day may-day....we’re going down....

ANDROMEDA ACTION: There is another ionizer 50 meters to the west it is guarded by a machine phaser nest

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::wipes the blood from her eye::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: sighs:: NH_CO: He is dead...

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*CO*: Captain, I've just augmented reserve power back into shields...it looks like it's putting us back up around...::checks console::....52% for the time being.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
NH_SO: Let's keep moving.  ::Gets up::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Andromeda: We could use some help. One of my team is setting a bomb of sorts to take out the artillery placement. If any ships would like to help we could use some cover fire for her.

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Looks around::  NH_CO: They all are, aren't they.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::seeing another Synod bull rush her and swings the butt of her rifle up into his lower jaw with all her might as she stands up::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: All I've got left is the dorsal phasers Captain, torpedo tubes and ventral arrays have had it.

GLOBAL SCENE: Over Shai, one of their enormous jump rings, which are supposed to be dead, starts to power up. Energy discharge is enormous as it starts to open rift in local space, swirling light plunging inside of it in a blood-red maw.

ANDROMEDA ACTION: Tricorders indicate the ionizer is still under the blanket more need to be destroyed to open up a large hole

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Looks up at her captain, slightly disoriented.::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Looks at the ionizer to the west and notices the phaser emplacement next to it:: NH_CTO: We need to get rid of that thing..

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: I'm sure we can get down to the surface though.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Nods:: NH_SO: Yes, they are all dead.  ::Grabs Brianna by the arm:: You ok?

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
CTO: Arm the crew.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*EO*: Acknowledged. Maintain ventral shields. We're going to surf.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Shields are gone....we have just enough power to keep the SIF active....weapons are down we only have dorsal phasers... torpedoes are disabled... impulse is 1/2 at best...warp engines took moderate damage...best speed warp 5

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Nods at the CO and nonchalantly tosses a grenade at the phaser emplacement::

ACTION: Through the gateway, an enormous shadow blocks the red light. Red and yellow gasses that look like hellish fire leak out around it as it barely slides through the enormous gate. The Synod supership Xolas (Keeper of the Dead) has arrived.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@*OPS*: Would you be able to transport some of my patients to the med facility?

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::lays covering fire all around the CIV, scanning for synod troops in the HUD of her powered armor::

AFCO: Brave or stupid... I am not for sure which it was yet.  ::tosses her now broken rifle to the ground::

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: The ship was able to disable them in mere moments ::  CO: Power is at emergency levels only, the core is fluctuating wildly...

ACTION: From the surface, ships are picking up a large energy build up not far from the field troops as a group of Synod begin an overload of some of one of their main weapons... suicidal for them.

Andromeda_CSO_Ens_Fielding says:
CO: We need to find out how that thing tracks targets...

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Send the FCO's data out to the entire fleet.

ANDROMEDA ACTION: Incoming grenades from the nest from a mortar!

CO: Give me a moment, I’ll scan it...

RAVIRAJ ACTION: Raviraj, battered in the virtual extreme, makes a desperate break for the planet's surface, attempting to make an emergency landing before Synod orbital defenses take advantage.

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
NH_CTO: We'll need to try some kind of a flanking maneuver.

Quirinus_XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
XO: We need to get out of here...evacuate

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
All: Take cover! ::Ducks behind a rock::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Takes cover::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: I'm picking a spot hopefully where they won't get to us so easily... of course, who can miss a giant ship falling from the sky?

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CNS*: No problem, your workload should be lighter now.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::looks to the ceiling::  *DC Alpha Leader*:  I'm not terribly concerned about the sensors for the moment.  What's the problem?

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
Gears: The phaser emplacement over there needs to be taken out.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:

FCO: We will do what duty calls for. And right now we can not let that weapon fire again. There are no other ground forces near by, I want every able body crewman ready to fight.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Nods, and starts towards the Ionizer::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: I am NOT piloting this broken-down ship anywhere NEAR that thing!

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::arrives in the TR of the Claymore, a slight gash bleeds from just above his eye but he does not seem to notice::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#*CO/CTO*: Affirmative.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*Bridge*:  Davis to Bridge, we've had to disable the lateral sensors.  There's something wrong in that vicinity, and the concern is that a power spike there might overload weapons, which are set-up on an adjacent EPS grid.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: Land us in the trees within 2 Kilometers.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CEO:   What is the matter ::goes to his side to check him out::

SCENE: Xolas now forms the core of what remains of the Synod navy. Easily a fleet in herself, she ignites her enormous engines and starts unflinchingly toward the approaching Starfleet Armada.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: I'm going to land us where it's safe, if you don't mind. ::feels Bridge getting hotter and unzips her crazy uniform a bit::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::slides in behind a rock::

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Looks at his side and the green blood going everywhere:: AXO: I believe the correct term is that I zigged when I should have zagged.

CLAYMORE ACTION: Quirinus crew have made their way to Claymore's bridge, filling in where they can.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: Not a bad landing, Under the circumstances. You did fine.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::having been inspected by the med team, Sulek arrives on the bridge of the Claymore:: Daylan: Reporting for duty.  How may I assist? I have experience at both Science and Helm.

SHARIKAHR INFO: The Sharikahr crew has taken out almost all of the artillery batteries, but their team has been diminished by the ground forces of the enemies

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Captain? ::has a dreary look on his face::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CTO: Oh come on! You don't really think we can actually go and attack anyone in our state?

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: I've got 8 good troopers and one with a broken arm for rear guard, Skipper.

Claymore_Damage_Alpha_Leader says:
*Engineering*: DC Alpha to Engineering.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*Alpha Leader*:  Go ahead, Alpha Leader.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Match telemetry with one of our ships in orbit - what is our nearest target and how far behind the lines are we?

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Continues covering the advance of the troops.::  Self: It's just a coincidence, chance roll of a sound design, it's not Fate...

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:

ACTION: Raviraj is a total loss, having landed as best she could on the surface of Shai. She is out in the open, and is being approached by Synod forces coming in the distance...

SCENE: Above Shai, the Synod dreadnaught Xolas pushes her way through the debris of over a hundred destroyed Starfleet ships, continuing her advance on the remaining Armada. Her escorts are mostly gone, but, shielded next to Xolas, they continue to strike.

Claymore_Damage_Alpha_Leader says:
*EO*: We've separated the lateral sensors from the rest of their normal power grid.  There is strictly main, secondary, and auxiliary power access and that is it.  The other systems that tie into this EPS trunk have been tied off and rerouted elsewhere.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::catches up with the rest of the Sharikahr crew, followed by a second wave of forces::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Moving to the helmsman chair, he sits and quickly familiarizes himself with the controls:: Daylan: A simple case of being in the wrong place at the wrong moment.  Helm appears to be responding but is a bit sluggish.

@Troops: Conserve your fire and don't let a single Synod get close to the Raviraj.  Let’s give our boys time to pull out the survivors!

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
FCO: We can't just sit here... we need to do something. Besides, we're past the orbital defenses now.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Sulek: Captain, lets get some breathing room. Move us out to optimum firing range.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*Alpha Leader*: That'll have to do.  Engineering out.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
ALL: Look for near by cover.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Captain...I can't get a signal through....interference is still to great.

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Looks towards Kizlev, not knowing how things work on this - or any - Akira class vessel ::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ALL: Okay... we're dead if we stay here... but there is no where else to go... 

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
*EO*: Bridge to Engineering. Shift shield power to forward. Prepare for return fire.

Cherokee_TO_Ens_D’amato says:
Adm: I wish I could say I was happy with that, but that big hulk out there makes it difficult to be happy.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*CO*: Acknowledged.

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: Give me a quick report on all systems

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
CO: I'm going to keep my folks out here for an ambush, Sir. Take the rest back to the trench and draw their fire, will you?

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@CTO: So, we are going inside a mountain?

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: In firing range....Mark.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*Admiral*: What about the crew of the Raviraj?  We gonna let them hang in the wind like that?

*CTO/ XO*: As soon as we get the Raviraj cleared, we make for the fortress.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
ACO: Receiving new orders. We are to attack the Synod’s stronghold. Orders are to take it out.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:

@*CO*: Roger that sir.  I've got Birdies incoming...could use some fire support in convincing them to nest elsewhere.

SHARIKAHR ACTION: Synod fire strikes the ground near the Sharikahr Senior Staff, sending dust and rocks flying at them.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: I think we could use some air support.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*CEO*: Shields operating at 61% or so.  We've had to pin lateral sensors on their own power grid for the time being to protect other vital systems.  Weapons seem fine.  Warp Core is at 104% output currently.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Cherokee: Good to hear that. The Andromeda and Nighthawk crews will soon begin to advance.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
ACO: Permission to be beamed aboard a runabout.  My skills are better there than in hand to hand.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::wipes forehead with the sleeve over his right arm; it feels hot::

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
NH_SO: I am not to certain I remember.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:

CO: All the ionizers have been destroyed, and our group hasn't suffered very badly yet.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CIV: Permission granted. Give us as much help as you can, Commander.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
ACO: How about we just go back to the ship and use the main battery.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: Aye. Laying in course for aft maneuver.  Awaiting tactical firing resolution.

ACTION: Claymore, carrying Quirinus' crew, is leading a ragtag group of combat ships on a run on the Xolas, battering down her shields.

ACTION: Small Synod craft including shuttles and fighters zip by overhead of the Raviraj wreck and the senior crew, determining their location and status, and flies back into the distance to report.

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
NH_CO: At the end of this?  I am locking myself in the science lab.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CO: Now THAT sounds like a plan!

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CIV: Cancel that, Commander. We're returning to the ship.

CHEROKEE ACTION:  No sooner are the words out of the Captain's mouth, an unseen Synod avian leaps out and pounces on the Captain’s back, digging his claws into the new armor.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CTO: We will probably need those tanks.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO* We've just had a few flybys...we might have some artillery and orbital fire coming our way...let people know we might have trouble on our way.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
COM: Orbital: This Commander of Arcadia Station, The Raviraj is down, and we have Synod ground forces barreling down on our crash site. We have little to no cover and need aide, if you can hear this please respond.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CTO: Any ideas for the best strategy?

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::almost jumps up from his chair:: All: We've done it! Tactical, maintain fire!

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*NPS OPS: Belay that order... change in plans

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@::Continues to stand up our fallen troops behind our front line. Moving from one downed soldier to the next. Has totally lost sight of Hazzard but, knows the guy is fine and in his glory::

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
NH_SO: Oh no you are not.  I won't allow it.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::moves with OPS to the nearest control console::

SHARIKAHR INFO: The crew left aboard the Sharikahr ready it for take-off while the senior staff is on their way back to it.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: Aye.  Moving to coordinates for direct fire on aft and port of the Xolas.  Port nacelles should be open to targeting.

Claymore_EO_Crewman_Valles says:

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
NH_CO: Now what?

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
ACO: We may try to use our ship based weapons to punch a hole through their defenses and then beam tactical teams inside the perimeter sir.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
*FCO*: Start moving our wounded off as fast as you can. Let the Tactical team hold the defense.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: continues to fire on the approaching Synod forces...draining one power pack and another as he seems to never run out of targets...a grim sneer on his face as he dodges fire left and right...::

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Shakes his head:: Self: What does that leader think, we carry mirrors in our pockets on these battle suits that we can watch our heads or any other part of our bodies with?

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kizlev: You now have target resolution.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Gets back in position and resumes firing.:: *OPS*: If there are any walking wounded among those we're taking back, see if they can pick up a Phaser and cover me a bit.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CEO: Otherwise yes, but they are locally covered well.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:

#*CTO*: Looks like we were too late. Returning to support your position. ::returns for his next strafing run::

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@*CTO*: Mr. Hazzard we have been cooked. Radiation.

ACTION: The hole in the side of Xolas' shield is widening. Some of her escorts are moving to block it.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CIV: How about that runabout idea?

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
ACO: Shields at 65% it will give us a bit of protection from the radiation.

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*CO*:  Yes, Sir, radiation is off the scales.

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Stands to move over towards sensors.::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Self: Blast.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods::  ACO: Aye sir.

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
ACO: I will see what I can do to boost that shielding level.

ACTION: The fallout clouds move towards the Andromeda/Nighthawk tank lines; infantry don radiation gear

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CTO/CEO: We probably don't have any radioactive suits.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*Sickbay*:  Medical team to Main Engineering!

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: Maybe sickbay could provide inoculations to defend against radiation ma'am.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::goes back to the standing console::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
All: The good news, is they can't hide.  The bad news, is neither can we.

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO/QCO: Synod escorts are moving to close off our advantage, Captains

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
*CO*:  Captain, alert your teams, we have a high radiation alert.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
CIV: I'll have the Medical Bay send them up right away. You read my mind Cadet.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: scans read a break in the shields of the Xolas.  Positioning for direct target.

::turns and nods to her SO and heads for the turbolift

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::readjusts coolant yield once again, and adjusts warp core output down to 97%::

CLAYMORE ACTION: A torpedo makes it through Claymore's damaged shields and goes right down her throat, colliding with her deflector dish and imploding the room behind.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
*FCO/CTO*: Get our people to safety Tucker and I are headed to Engineering to set charges.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
*All*: Radioactive fallout is imminent. Get in any vehicle you can.

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: The tanks should protect us from most of the radiation

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
*Adm*: Noted, we've seen, and will try and rush this as much as we can.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@*CTO*: You got it, boss. ::Dips into his bag of magic tricks and starts treatment of radiation poisoning on every one he can get too::

ANDROMEDA INFO: The outer hulls of the tanks register radiation contamination

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: Right behind you.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Tactical: Let’s finish the job!

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CEO: Yes. However it will be hard to get out once we reach the fortress.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Roger that Sir. *FCO*: Get 'em moving... we have your backs.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
AXO: Naw it is just that a CMO just entered the family ma'am. After that I read the manual. ::grins::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::coughs, and when his eyes open he sees smoke everywhere::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
*CO*: Sir, I'm rethinking this whole blowing up the ship thing...

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Activates the shields on the tank::

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: The tanks should be able to use their portable field generators to make small radiation free bubbles around them

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::climbs back up to console::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::grabs onto console:: Daylan: Main deflector off line.  Compensating helm for shield hole.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
::heads back in the battered ship:: CO: These bastards are going to pay for what they have done ::has phaser rifle at the ready::

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@SELF: Now I've been toasted. Does this count for my third injury in this thing? 

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: We' lost the deflector! Taken a direct hit.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::nods:: CEO: Give us as much power to the shields as you can. Take from non-essential systems if you have to.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Prepares a dose of radiation treatment.::

CHEROKEE ACTION:  The crew of the Cherokee is notified of the radiation in time to protect themselves.  The CNS is giving the life saving injections to the wounded.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
NH_CO: Aye, sir ::moves to the gun, checks the controls and stands ready:: Ready here, sur

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
*CO*: I really don't think we can outrun any blast... there is no cover out here in the middle of a desert...

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CEO: That is excellent.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: reaches into his combat medi-pac on his belt and takes out a hypospray of anti-radiation medicine...only met as a stop gag precaution but enough for him to ensure his continued health. ::

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::curses:: CEO: Get everyone out of that area. Check the engine room!

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::rides the lift down to Shuttle bay 1 and readies the runabout to launch::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
*All* Despite the radiation, let's now head towards the fortress.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Suelk: Bring us close. Let’s do some surgery.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
*CO*: Commodore we are ready to roll here.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
*Bridge*: Main Deflector is....non-existent.  We're in the red down here on the Warp Core;  I'm not sure how much longer we can keep this pace up!

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The shields pop up on the tanks as they rumble to the fortress

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she takes the necessary precautions in this high radiation alert::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Tactical: Ready all phaser arrays. Lets dig a hole.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Sir...maybe they should start transporting the crew to a ship in orbit?

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kizlev: Allow three percent arc for off line deflector readings.  You should be right on target.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
*CO*: We're moving slow as well...

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CO: But of course as you increase the shield size the power of them decreases

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: Just do the best you can, this is war dammit!

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::swallows to help her ears pop as the shields come on-line::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
*CIV*: Launch the runabout as soon as we arrive at the strong hold and provide us with as much cover fire as you can. You'll be a lot more maneuverable than us.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Field: The Andromeda and Nighthawk crews are in tanks heading for the fortress.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Pushes the accelerator on the tanks and forges it forward::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
*FCO*: Understood we plan to work up a remote detonation. Do the best you can.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Continues to fire at anything threatening them, holding the line until relieved::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
All: We need to be careful when we clear the tanks upon leaving.  :: looks around::  Do we have rad suits?

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Weapons charged and standing by

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::takes a hypo from a med tech and administers it to her neck::  Med Tech: Thank you

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
ACO: I guess non essential systems means I shut down the pool table again.   How am I ever going to perfect my bank shot at this rate.  ::Reroutes power to the shields and weapons::

Sharikahr_MO_Johnson says:
::enters bridge just after the CIV leaves with hypos full of inoculations::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: Over a ridge 1000 meters in distant, the Andromeda/Nighthawk armored formation comes under mortar fire!

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CTO: I don't know. I assume that we won't benefit from orbital support.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*ACO*: I am ready for launch

RAVIRAJ ACTION: What appears to be a micro torpedo artillery round lances out and strikes the dorsal hull of the Raviraj. What remains of the Synod infantry are within firing range. In the air, Synod fighters attempt to dogfight the Claymore support squadrons.

SCENE: Raviraj's position is being gallantly protected by troops from the Cherokee.

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@::Inoculating all personnel will be his focus as he makes his way towards CTO's location:: SELF: Fastest hyposprayer in the west, that's me.

::coughs again::

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks around:: NH_SO: There should be some in the back.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
*CO*: I'm serious, sir... There's nowhere to run to!

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
*CIV*: Excellent. Standby, Commander.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Feels the rumble of the mortars::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Andromeda: The Sharikahr is headed to the base as well. We are in the air.

Sharikahr_Shuttle_Pilot says:
*CIV*: We will follow you Commander.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: You and I will still make sure this thing blows.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Tactical: Fire! Breach her inside. Signal the FAIT to standby.

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
:: Nods and moves back to one of the lockers, finding the necessary gear.::  All: It is rather scary they even thought about this stuff.  :: Begins to hand things out.::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
AFCO: What's our ETA, Cadet?

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
@::Makes his way to the CTO and troops on front line. Injects the CTO in the arm as he passes by him:: CTO: Here's a present from me to you.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: Aye...that we will sir

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Lets loose with the full (and impressive) array of Claymore's weaponry ::

RAVIRAJ ACTION: The Synod that are left near the Raviraj are starting to drop to the ground, apparently their use of radiation affected them as well.

ANDROMEDA ACTION: Mortar rounds attack the tank formation shields; shields at 70 percent

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::tries to get control of his bearing again, as his head is killing him::

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: gives the CNS cover fire as he makes his way to his position. :: CNS: And here I thought you forgot my Birthday.

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Shouts at the tank driver:: Tank Driver: Speed up! It will make them harder to target us with mortars

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
NH_CO: Shields are at 70 percent

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::hopes his firing solution proves to be the most effective of his career as Powers fires the weapons::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Shuttles: Launch now. ::launches out the open bay doors::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CTO: Take the tank guns and return their fire.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
CO: I suggest we put a couple charges on the core casing...and a couple on the plasma transfer conduits. I will make sure it works.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::diverts all auxiliary power to the shields, now that they conveniently do not have a deflector dish to work with::

RAVIRAJ ACTION: A mortar strikes one of the dorsal phaser arrays on the Raviraj, blowing it up and sending the security crewmen on top of the hull flying down to their doom. Synod ground forces begin slipping through the line and make for the downed ship itself.

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
*ADM*:  Ma'am, from what I currently have,  25 Cherokee crew are wounded as well as 15 soldiers but they are still climbing.  A confirmed 75 dead total.

ACTION: The siege of the fortress is underway, tank groups can now see that a melee and trench warfare is occurring around the fortress, the Synod seem to be trying to protect a shield generator

ACTION: The Fighter Wing from the USS Claymore comes in low and anything but slow. Kicking up a sandstorm in their wake, the Claymore fighters scream into the engagement zone, firing missiles from their wing tips into the mortar line. They're gone and pulling up before the shockwave of the explosion even reaches them.

::smiles at the CIV's sarcastic tone:: *CIV*: Doing well, considering the circumstances.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::close behind:: Daylan: From security reports I've seen our best approach to their bridge may be a two prong attack.  They have two Jefferies tubes to the bridge leading from two decks below.  It is I believe a relatively open area to transport.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::nods reluctantly::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CEO: Radiation status?

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CO: I don't think we can gain much by advancing systematically and taking care of every pocket of resistance before moving on. Speed is of the essence, so I recommend we just keep on pushing through the infantry lines with our tanks.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks out at the scanners:: NH_SO/NH_CTO: Let's knock on the door.  Fire at will.  Full Speed ahead!

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
OPS: As soon as the transport beam pulls us away you hit it.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
NH_CO: Looks like we may have to buy Aaron a drink.

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
NH_CTO: I am reading a small group in that area working their way out.

ACTION: Damaged beyond repair, the repair crews aboard the Titania haven't even regained conscience. Blessedly so, because they don't see when power gives out on the ship and matter and antimatter mix uncontrolled in her warp core.

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
A_CO:It had to be...there was nothing else that could have failed. 

SCENE: The explosion can be seen in orbit, like a micro-nova on the surface of the planet. The compression waves levels a nearby mountain range, ignites forests 500 miles away, digs a 20 mile crater and causes earthquakes across the planet.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::continues to move forward::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::prays as she sees the incoming shockwave::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
::Administers a pain killer, the good kind, to his patient and leaves her to rest::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#*CO*: Aye sir. CTO: Looks like we are going to finish this one now.

aCO:  I would be honored to have your crew join mine Captain.  Perhaps your CTO and FCO could take over the positions on the bridge?

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::decides not to mention his Medal of Honor to the Admiral he hates the salute:: Adm: Thank you for that, and for the Rescue. ::shakes a firm hand::

Arcadia_AOPS_Tucker says:
AFCO: Stay with.........me........please...............

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::nods silently and follows::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: The FAIT should be at the doors.  5 seconds to set timers and clear back from debris.  We may catch some from here below.  But we should be behind no less than 15 to 20 seconds.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
#*CTO_Hembrook*: I need suppression fire in a 1k radius from this position.. keep it light enough so I don't have to deal with feathers in my mouth please.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
AOPS: I'm here... We're safe.

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Federation and Klingon forces on the ground breach the command war room!

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Takes snap shots at some synod troops::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:

::Shooting at the Synod troops::

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Tactical: You two, Take your men in next.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
*CTO*: Understood... get your people down... danger close... fire is on the way.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
EO/CEO/QCO: We'll watch their backs.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CIV: Don't thank me. ::nods at his wife::

ANDROMEDA SCENE: The war room shows all of the battle lines and plans and information for the whole war effort

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
#XO: Hit the Deck...Hembrook is about to deck their halls with Fa LA BOOM!

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Starts a sweep with the phasers in a final protective fire line in front of the ground troops, targeting any amour with torpedoes::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Follows the first shock troops to enter the command center, constantly firing at the relentless enemy::

CLAYMORE ACTION: The FAIT set their charges and seconds later the command bridge's blast doors implode with a loud bang that makes their ears bleed. They rush in, firing instantly. Ready for their backup.

SCENE: The Sharikahr limps back into space

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Catches a glimpse of CTO Senek, then goes back to fighting::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::hand signals to the other security officers and Powers, his rifle at the ready, his will iron and focused, bringing up the point::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::looks at Powers:: Powers: I believe the saying is good luck Commander.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He has stabilized one of the crew member and as soon as he was out of immediate danger he has moved to next one::

ANDROMEDA SCENE: Progress of the war, the nebula battle, the map of this planet and the map of this part of the galaxy can be seen on the walls

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::uses all they have on navigational sensors to avoid the combat debris::

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
QCO: Thanks, Captain.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods reassuringly to Kizlev as they go in next::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::Nods to the AXO.  With a blood running down the side of her face from a laceration she takes up her position at the science console.  A med tech immediately starts to fuss over her... much to her displeasure.::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::makes one last adjustment of his optical eyepiece sensor, and sets his rifle to pulse fire, and kill::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Realizes the significance of the information stored in the room, but doesn't let that stop him from using all available force to take out the opposition::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::wishes she had a medikit instead of having to wait for one::

ACTION:  Phaser fire from the Cherokee begins to see the Synod hit the ground in all directions.

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
@ NH_CO: Next time though... ::shakes her head as she goes with him to sickbay::  Remind me again why we are here?  ::Smiles sadly as she can guess what happened to cause that last sensor burn out.::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::watches Kizlev move forward::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as the second wave rushes up the rest of the way to the doors and awaits Daylan's move::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::tosses the A_FCO her pack:: A_FCO: Medkit inside...

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Seeing some Synod troops fleeing, throws a grenade behind a corner::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Gets a few bruises and some blood from cuts, but she keeps on fighting::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::still groaning in pain over his arm::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::wonders why Captains and engineers go in last for a second, but he shakes his head and stops the small smile that is developing at the thought::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: A high ranking general rushes the Commodore

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#::takes cover:: CTO: Wow, that is a lot of death out there.

Cherokee_CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
#:: can't help but grin at the XO...unable to resist giving the tagline from the Academy recruitment holo. :: XO: See the Galaxy...meet new and exciting alien civilizations...

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::waves away a med tech:: MO: I am not bad, take care of other people.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
All: If these were sane foes, they'd have surrendered already.  This is a slaughter, they can't hope to win, or even accomplish anything.

ANDROMEDA ACTION: Several generals are here, the brains of the Synod war

CLAYMORE ACTION: Security teams follow the FAIT in, making good progress. A few techs and command officers on the upper decks take pot shots from above.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACTO: Thanks... ::whips out a hypospray and stabilizes the AOPS::

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
@NH_SO: Part of our duty to Starfleet?

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The group is now in the nerve center of the war

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
MO: Please send some med techs to the Bridge. The ACO has fracture and several of the rest of us are injured as well.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::checks phaser rifle a final time, and waits::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::follows the security teams in, taking up position behind them, kneeling and firing in a cover pattern::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::hand signals one officer to stack up on his line, toss a stun grenade in first, and then moves in after the bang goes off::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Hits the general with his fists::

Cherokee_XO_Cmdr_Worthington says:
#CTO: Yea, I remember when we used to not be fighting for our lives every day. I think I was an Ensign.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::enters in behind Daylan, standing behind him but targeting the second tier since the captain is firing forward for the most part::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Continues to mop up the Synods with the main phasers and keeps an eye open for any other threats:: CTO: I think I got their attention...

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
CO: In keeping with their usual suicidal, fight to the end attitude. 

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
All: All stations report.

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Commodore in charge of the land forces engaged in melee with the General of the Synod!

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CEO/EO: Try to find the engine controls. We don't have time for anything fancy. Just overload her!

Quirinus_CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
::Takes the opposite side of the command room as Kizlev's team, catching Synod in crossfire::

Nighthawk_SO_Rose says:
@ NH_CO: Hmph... you have got to work on a better reason... :: shakes her head as she is shooed from sickbay.::  You will be fine sir... :: steps out of the way of the very busy sickbay.::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
aCO:  Captain, you have a good crew.  Did you lose many down below?

Sharikahr_MO_Johnson says:
AXO: I'll be right up.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moving in, he opens fire while trying to get the layout of the massive bridges equipment::

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
CTO: 10 on the CO

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::hits one Synod with her fist, a nice right hook, then does a kick to another one, connecting with their jaw::

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Aye. ::spots a console and looks it over::

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
ACO: We are in external orbit, helm is responsive, but barely.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::stops firing at rushes forward into the fray, towards the console across from their location; it looks like it has a ship's schematic on it::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::moves along the perimeter of the room, having his men cover and fire in a line formation as they sweep across, using cover, and moving constantly::

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
ALL: Maybe someday we will find out what this was all about.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Hayward: There. That should be the console you'll need.

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
QCO: Thanks

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Commodore's Vulcan strength easily allows him to best the Synod General

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
@::Smiles, and shakes his head, as he winces in pain as the doctor realigns his leg::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
aCO:  Would you like to coordinate with my Captain down below?

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
CEO: I'm not going to bet on the loser either.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Adm: I am afraid so, Medical, Engineering, Wounded, and the Tactical team sworn to protect us all died with honor.

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  We may never know the full story.  And you know what...  I don't care to.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::fires twice as he moves low across the room; in truth he's moving so fast that he can't even see if he's hitting the people he's shooting at::

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::moves to the console and begins the overload sequence::

CLAYMORE ACTION: The Fait, with the security teams from Claymore and Quirinus, carve down the Synod mercilessly. All around the bridge is the stench of blood and burned feathers.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moving out he sees an access panel along the edge::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::fires again as he reaches the console; he accesses it::

Sharikahr_MO_Johnson says:
::enters the Bridge and goes to the ACO first::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, get down! ::shoots over Daylan's head as a Synod tries to sneak up on the command officers::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Throws the general on the floor::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::ducks:: CTO: Thanks!

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
AFCO: Good. Keep us as far away from the orbital battle as possible... we're in no shape to take any more hits.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
ACO: Sensors are on the fritz.  I am getting some readings but it is like reading a newspaper with every 3rd word missing.

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
NH_CTO: If you can spare some time, take a look at those flag officers out there. Federation intelligence would probably appreciate talking to some of them.

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The general is thrown to the floor, he looks around

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Next victim of war has piece of rood sticking from his left lung to into the body exiting from the back of his external abdominal oblique muscles::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Reaches for his phaser rifle::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he pulls the panel:: Daylan: I have what appears to be helm access relays.  Would you like this ship to go anyplace in particular? ::REB::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Synod general yells “End it you bloodthirsty Vulcan!” to the Captain.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Looks up:: CTO: I think I have some time ::a feral smile shows up as she moves towards them::

Sharikahr_MO_Johnson says:
ACO: Please sit down sir so I can mend that fracture.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
*CO*: Any other targets you need help with, Captain?

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::takes out some zip ties and begins cuffing the generals::

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
OPS: Yeah, not sure it really matters, huh?

Sharikahr_CEO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
ACO: We have many problems and power is down to 43% ship wide.  We are without shields, weapons are offline, and we have several hull breeches all over the ship.  Force fields are stable but only just.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he was brought in he bled a big amount of blood leaving his face pale from the shock and injury::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::thinks quickly:: Sulek: If we can tell it anywhere, lets send it at that ring.

ACTION: The Nighthawk leaves the hand to hand battle to the ground forces and moves toward the city of Shai; there they begin a systematic search for life... any life.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Adm: I am just sorry we had to crash land in the first place. We tried an in system warp to get out of range of one of the battle cruiser and we landed right on top of a hostile defense platform. If not for the swift action of my bridge crew we would not have even made it to the planet.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::jumps over one console, dashes to a Synod laying down suppressive fire, and shoots him, then turns on a heel and smashes his rifle into the gut of another Synod trying to get in up close from behind::

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Exactly.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Seeing that there are no more armed Synods there, just points the general with the rifle::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
General: You are a prisoner of the United Federation of Planets.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Sets his rifle on stun::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Advances towards the Synod leaders with his phaser on stun setting::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::creates a controlled overload by decreasing the ship's energy control systems and increasing the output of their primary reactor; he loops continuous energy requests from six different systems as well::

ACTION: The Nighthawk and Andromeda forces secure the command room

CLAYMORE ACTION: With Hayward and Davis' efforts, their sabotage is an unqualified success. The command bridge becomes deafeningly loud with wailing alarms:; "ENGINE OVERLOAD IN 60 SECONDS":

ACTION: Supership Xolas' engines are overloading.

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO/QCO: We're running out of time gentlemen

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Helps round up the Synod, pleased to scare some of them with her look::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CEO: Start the beam-out of the other teams. We'll go last!

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::quickly he begins breaking the access commands and then inputting the coordinates, finally fusing the relay so it cannot be changed.  Daylan: It's on target, all we need to do is light the fuse.::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The general rushes the Commodore, yelling, “Give me a soldier's death!”

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
ACO/AFCO: I suggest giving the Xolas as much space as we can as she is about to blow

Cherokee_CNS_LtCmdr_Wells says:
::Not meaning too but, falls asleep in his shuttle seat::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at one of the Synod on the ground; he's not sure if the thing is dead or not, and he gives it a swift kick in the head to be sure::

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::begins remotely beaming out crew::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
aCO:  You do have a good crew Captain, and my compliments to them all.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Fires at the General, on a stun setting::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::grabs Sulek's arm and hauls him away from the console:: Sulek: I think we've already done it! Lets go!

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::notices the power spike:: AFCO: Get us out of her Cadet.

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Is a bit surprised to note that the generals don't attempt any heroic last resistance::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He has took an scanner and began to look what happened in this poor girl::

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CNS:  Sleep well.  ::whispers::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::swings up and clocks the butt of his rifle up into the lower beak of the Synod soldier, then swings the rifle like a baseball bat, and cracks it against the Synod's hip, then dives for cover instinctively and draws his backup hand phaser::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: Into the center.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
CTO/QCTO: They're dead anyway. Time. To. Go!

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::beams the last of them back::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::sits down and allows the MO to mend his fracture::

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
ADM: I think I thinned them out a good deal, Sir. Shall I continue firing on targets of opportunity Sir?

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The general slumps to the floor unconscious, seeing their leader stunned the Synod decide not to resist

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
ACO: I am on it Sir. ::gives maximum power to the engines to put the planet between the Shari and the Synod's ship::

ACTION: The Sharikahr moves as fast as it's crippled engines can take it away from the area where the supership is about to blow

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: If you will excuse the pun, Captain, I believe we are about to kill two birds with one stone.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::she looks down on some, towering over them, since she is almost 7 ft. tall::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
aCTO:  You bet!  You get ‘em girl!

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::One of the people that has broth her in was an engineer::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::thinks about all the Synod on this ship:: Sulek: I think it's a hell of a lot more than two. ::has his laugh ripped away as the transporter beam claims them::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::finds the beast within getting the best of him, then looks up at his captain, and makes haste towards him, ordering the men to cover as they fall back::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
ALL: In our attacks we found that collapsing their main Super Phaser first and then targeting the power core for an overload was most effective after the main gun was disposed of.

CLAYMORE ACTION: The crew returns to Claymore's bridge

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
All: We need to get moving!

Sharikahr_MO_Johnson says:
::after finishing with the ACO the MO moves around the Bridge healing the rest of the Senior Staff::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Engineers: All power to shields!

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Sulek: Sir, if you'd be so kind. Get us out of here.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Sharikahr: Are your transporters working?

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
ADM: Aye Sir. ::Continues to fire on anything threatening... making it a priority to protect the Cherokee and other troops on the surface::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::moving to helm:: Daylan: Hard about. Full impulse.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
CEO: Transporter status?

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::smiles at the ACTO,  holding poor Tucker's head in her lap:: 

ACTION: All around the Xolas, ships leave the area, dragging their brethren ships who cannot move as well.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
aCO:  We have not been that close to one of the big ones... but we almost were sucked into a black hole thanks to them.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Crew member EO: Please can you bring some laser torch so we could remove some of this metal from her.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::heads towards the Engineering station and raises power to shields::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Andromeda: Yes they are sir.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::walks past the soldiers:: Tactical: Damn fine work, men.

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::powers up what’s left of the shields::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sits in the command chair::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::resumes his post at tactical, exhaling deeply, glad the fighting had happened so fast, it felt almost like a dream...::

Andromeda_CEO_Lt_Conor says:
::Takes a chair at the computer and begins rummaging through their files::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The Synod back away from the Nighthawk CTO

ACTION: Claymore is the last to go, having retrieved her infiltration teams, running for dear life.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::as he got confirmation he look on bio bed analysis finding out that she is in a bad shape::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::diverts more shield power to aft shields in anticipation of their speedy getaway::

ANDROMEDA ACTION: The CEO begins to capture Synod data

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: Ten seconds to detonation.  It will be close.

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: We got Synod generals as prisoners. Beam them to your brig. Transmitting coordinates.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Andromeda: Scratch that! Our transporters are out.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
ADM/Bridge crew: You folks might want to hold onto something. That super ship looks ready to blow...

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He internal organs was severely ripped and she was on her dieing breath::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan: Warp jump?

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
aFCO:  Get us out of here...

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llyniska says:
::Secures her prisoners::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
Sulek: Lets give it a sh- ::sees the ignition out of the corner of his eye::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::sits next to the Admiral and holds on::

ACTION: The Andromeda begins to retrieve and hold prisoners

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
aFCO: You know the drill.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
*Shipwide*: All hands, this is the bridge. Prepare for final impact.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
*CO/Troops*: Be advised, the supership is about to blow... take cover!

ACTION: In space, the Xolas goes up in an explosion as large as Titania's on the surface. Her escorts are destroyed outright, and several Starfleet ships are severely damaged. Some ships spin into each other, others losing shields and engines as they tumble through space.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
All: Incoming shock wave in 3....2...

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::flexes his fingers and moves his arm, still feeling a bit of after-pain::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::braces::

CHEROKEE ACTION: The FCO moves the Cherokee just in time, as the supership blows.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Grabs the edge of the hatch, barely holding onto the rifle.::  OPS: Did that come from space?  That's a big explosion.

Arcadia_ACTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Does all she can to reinforce the Cherokee shields as the super ship blows up::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Walks around the command room, at loss to decide which piece of information to study first::

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Affirmative.

SHARIKAHR ACTION: The shockwave ripples across the damaged unshielded Sharikahr's hull, causing multiple additional hull breaches and once again jostling the crew, but not causing additional major damage

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
COM: Cherokee: Do you have operational transporters?

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::quickly inputs commands to right the ship, while holding on the shaking console::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
COM: Andromeda:  Yes we do.  Where do you need us?

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::hangs on tight to his chair, being thrown around but not quite leaving his seat this time::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::tenses once again as the ship is rocked::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
COM: Andromeda:  Yes we do.  Where do you need us?

::Left brachiocephal ventricle was cut so she had a problem with breathing, her spine was also severed, her body could not respond::

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::pats the console and says to the ship:: Shari: Come on baby, you can do it.

ACTION: Claymore is struck by a Tsunami of force that feels like the ship has been kicked by a mule a million feet high. SIF and Inertial Dampeners fail all over the ship as it's flung through space, tumbling wildly before the computer can slow its escape with the thrusters.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ACO: I'm currently not piloting, sir ::grins:: ... Tucker is fine though... ::points to the crewman in her lap::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::once the ship stops shivering:: All: Damage report

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::thanks any god she can think of that the MO had already healed her leg as she braces herself::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::clears the console at what at one time would be considered a Olympic qualifying height and hits the deck hard::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs when it seems the ship will hold itself together::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
ACO: Alive.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
ACO: We are alive and still moving I guess.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Jovan could only get transfusion just to help her not to slide so fast as he try to cut her open and remove that rood::

Claymore_CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::cuts his hand trying to hold on::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
AXO: How are you doing?

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
::watches the explosion::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::despite the sickness, he can feel the ship start to right itself after a few seconds, but that doesn't mean he's in a hurry to get up::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Daylan:  Inertial dampeners coming on line.  Reverse thrusters.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
Aloud: Here we go...::feels his body press hard against his console::...grrah, again!

Synod_Tribunal says:
 @::Three faces appear on the screen, one Aderyn, one Klau, one Varkenshaar:: COM: All: This is the Synod Tribunal. We address your leader, the one called Harlan. ::pause:: Our forces are decimated. We offer you our surrender and beg your mercy. 

========== END MISSION ==========

========== BEGIN EPILOGUE - "Ceasefire" ==========

ACTION: The crews of the Fourth Fleet Elite have gathered aboard the diplomatic ship USS Sharikahr, to witness a historic occasion. In six hours, with help from engineering teams from a dozen ships, Sharikahr has been patched up and her Conference Hall's doors are laid open. A dais is at the head of it, with chairs for attendants.

SCENE: The flags of the UFP and the Fourth Fleet hang behind the dais, where key fleet commanders sit.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::sitting amongst the crowd in his ship's conference hall::

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
::takes a seat in the 8th row::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Her face not expressing any of the emotions moving throughout her, she makes her way to the quickly set up podium and the center of peace... Peace bought at a price too high.::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::arrives with his crew, nodding to them to take a seat as he heads up toward the dais::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::sitting next to her husband::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::finds an open seat with Pangborn::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::whispers:: AXO: Are you okay?

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sits next to the AXO::

Quirinus_XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::Sits next to the captain::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::Powers follows just behind::

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::sits in the last row, thinking she will have a lot of things to say once back to Saint Francisco::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::nods at the SH_CIV as she sits::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::sits down next to Captain Regnum::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::wanders in to the conference room or whatever it is, looking around at all the officers and the decor::

ACTION: Outside Sharikahr, the distant Synod Duat-class Command Ship's flight bay opens and a small ship flies out, curling around the debris of their once mighty space forces and making its way through a threatening barrier of SF Combat vessels toward the Sharikahr.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::sits and tugs the skirt of her uniform:: Self: I hope no one sees me

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Finding his place with most of the Cherokee crew, thinking on last 5 hour of operations, and looking at his hands that has changed color to somehow red::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CO:  What a waste this was... too many dead, too many to never know life.

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Hobbles in, and takes a seat near the back::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Sitting at the back of the room, looking around, wondering if this end will be a new beginning.  Can the Synod really understand us?::

Captain_JohnSea_Ret says:
::petting his blue-eyed Husky, sporting a silver beard::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
ACIV: Whatcha Know Vic.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::helps himself to a seat next to a certain trill female said to be the FCO who piloted the Raviraj during the Shai invasion::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::is sitting with the rest of Arcadia Station's crew, calm, collected, and remembering her past life as a diplomat::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Adm: War always is.  We can only hope this will help us prevent the next one.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Standing off to the side, she turns to watch many familiar faces, quietly noting those who will be forever absent.::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
ACIV: I can't believe we crashed another ship, that was a close one. You think it has to do with her Captain?

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::smoothes his brand new white uniform and climbs up on the dais, smiling at Commodore Sketek:: AND_CO: Greetings, Commodore. Congratulations on a great victory.

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::with her crew, and her husband is in appearance, just there to keep an eye on her::

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
Bodine: I'm glad this is over, but look around, the Sharikahr is our diplomatic ship in the fleet, and we are hosting a peace treaty signing amongst rubble.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He didn’t had time to clean them so radical, and his nails and around looks like they have bled they self::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::stands towards the back; not ready to sit down just yet::

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
Bodine: Victory and peace came at a very high cost

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
CL_CO: Greetings. Thank you for the compliments.

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::wonders if she can take holo pictures::

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::takes a seat in the area her brother nodded for the Claymore senior officers to occupy, and smoothes the skirt of her new uniform. The different color of the bloodstains on the other white one did not cut it for a function like this one::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::smiles at the Andorian beside her::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::nods and takes a seat::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::smoothes the skirt of her uniform:: SH_ACO:  I am not sure.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He has an tired body and he feels a heavy:::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: I am told that the Quirinus has been recovered and is considered salvageable.

ACTION: *Shipwide*: All hands. Synod Actual coming aboard.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
SH_AXO: What do your mean?

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::sits and beams with pride at her old ship::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::leans against the bulkhead towards the rear of the room and just watches people come and go::

Quirinus_XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
Sulek: Good to hear

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
SH_ACO/SH_AXO: This is a lot different than the last peace treaty ceremony we had here.

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::turns around to see who is missing, as there are still some empty seats::

Captain_Ahkileez says:
::takes a seat near the rear, fresh scars on his face from the battle::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: But I suppose that means a new chair.  ::REB::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
SH_CIV: Indeed, Commander. I couldn't agree more.

Cmdr_Fowler says:
::moves in, sits in the back and smiles at her old ship and her old friends::

ACTION: The Synod ship pulls up alongside Sharikahr, docking at the port. The airlock slowly cycles and then three Synod step through it, met by 30 armed Starfleet guards.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::whispers in his ear:: S_ACO: Month long layover are apparently a bad idea for us.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CMO:  You look tired Jovan.  When this is over, the crew are to get a month's rest.  That includes you my friend. ::whispering::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods to the FCO next to him, and faces ahead at the gathering, his face as cold and devoid of emotions as the northern ice lands of Andoria::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Regnum: The treaty won't bring back Senior Captain Martin, or any other dead. Now we will feed and help the Enemy. Will this peace hold? I hope it was worth it and that you are right.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::raises an eyebrow as he feels the color rush out of his face:: SH_AXO: Um.. what?

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Adm: Oh Ma’am it is nice to see you.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CL_CTO: Diplomatic ceremonies are so much better than war...

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::sighs and heads towards the seats, looking for the Claymore's officers::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Adm: Ah an tired Is one way to put it.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Her eyes light on Captain Ahkilleez::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Adm: I had last 5 hours of non stop operations.

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
SH_ACO: Apparently Victory will have a little brother

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::feels a terrific need for life after so much death and checks  the many officers sitting there::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::clears his throat and shifts in his chair, looking toward the front doors when there's a sudden commotion::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch_Adm: How was your day?

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::stands up and moves to Admiral Harlan::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::smiles at the SH-AXO's words::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::keeps his voice hushed to low volume:: ARC_FCO: I wish to see events such as this more often in the future. I grow weary of conflict and suffering.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::goes completely pale:: SH_AXO: W.. uh.. what? I... um.... ::gets tense::

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
Bodine: But on the bright side, I get to heckle you for not only getting my old ship destroyed, but it's successor destroyed too in a matter of weeks, great job Captain.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CMO:  One of the worst I have ever had, but at least I lived through it, where some did not.

Captain_JohnSea_Ret says:
::Riverwind shifts from paw to paw restless::

ACTION: Guards enter the conference hall, thirty strong, lining up along the rows of chairs, protecting the Starfleet officers from the Synod, and vice versa.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Nods to Bodine::  A_CO: It has been a rather short, yet long relationship.  No insult intended, but I am glad I will be moving back to my station soon.

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
SH_AXO: You're... pregnant?

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Harlan: Superb, leadership Admiral, our supplies, refits and repairs held out it would seem.

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Sits among the audience, a bit depressed that the need for security guards is still seen to be so great::

Sharikahr_AXO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods::

Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Eyes the Synod, glances Ahkileez and hopes to catch up with him after this is done::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CL_CTO: I agree... I haven't seen enough in 5 lifetimes to fill even one, sadly.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::sits down in the same section as Eos, though not right next to her::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
::tenses in her chair when she sees the Synod enter the room::

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::has no idea what to say::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::tries to keep her face neutral at the sight of the Synod::

SCENE: The room falls deathly silent as the Synod leaders appear. The first, an Aderyn, appears like a secretary bird, bright plumage on his head bouncing with each slow step. Behind him, a scarred Hawk-like Klau, flexing his talons as he walks, obviously frustrated. The third, a diminutive Varkenshaar, is expressionless at the rear.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch_Adm: Well too many of them died and many of them with terrible death. :: still whispering:: If this could not happened...:: Silent up as Synod enters::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Watching the entrants, lowers her voice::  Bodine: As long as the Federation works as a team...

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at the zoo exhibit as it walks through the door and into the room, and cannot feel anything but contempt for them::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::still standing on the spot he turns to face the Synod::

Captain_Red says:
::following the Synod leaders, Red enters the room and takes a roundabout route (longer, yet faster) to join Admiral Harlan at the head::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Adm: Indeed

Sharikahr_ACO_LtCmdr_Rodos says:
::faces the approaching Synod, thankful for the diversion::

Sharikahr_AFCO_Cadet_Polo says:
::winks at a handsome ensign sitting a few seats on her left::

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she tenses up as she sees the Synod appear, but her husband gives her a gentle squeeze in assurance that things will be fine.::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Nods towards Red.::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::follows the Synod with his eyes, for the first time having the leisure to see them as beings, not as the enemy. They look angry, and broken::

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::her eyes follow the Synod, yet her attention follows the red-haired Klingon looking Starfleet officer::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::fixes his eyes on the dark-skinned Ahkileez man wearing captain's colors, then scans his eyes over the others filling the room:: Self: Extraordinary...

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::moves to take his seat again::

ACTION: A group of guards on the dais step down to clear the stairs for the Synod who walk up it, stopping across from Harlan and her senior officers::

Captain_Red says:
::nods reassuringly back at Harlan::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::Thinking that the last time he saw a Synod officer so close, he was fighting with them hand to hand::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: For his ears alone:: Red:  So much beauty....

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::folds arms, maintaining his look at the Synod - the first look he's had of them without having to point a phaser at the same time::

Prism_Adm_Richmond says:
:: his black uniform stands out against the sea of reds, yellows, and greens.  Only he wears the black in this room ::

SCENE: The Klau leader flexes his wings, stretching a good three meters across, his golden feathers gleaming in the light as he stretches them out and then folds them back around himself. The movement caused guards to raise their rifles, aimed at his head.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Regnum: Harlan seems pleased about the prospect of returning to Arcadia soon. You suppose life will return to normal?

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Takes a couple of deep breaths, staying calm at the sight of the Synod leaders:: Self: they caused so much death

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Her eyes never leaving the Klau leader, she slightly bows.::  All: Welcome.

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
::whispers back to Bodine:: Bodine: I thought she was pleased about returning to her old station

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He has been stunned by the pride of the Klau::

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Aderyn> ::is the first to step forward, inclining his own long neck and dipping his bright plumage:: Harlan: You are master here?

Captain_Red says:
::whispers back:: Admiral_Harlan: I suppose there can be beauty... but I can't yet see it.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::studies the Klau leader with eyes and antennae both, thinking how important it must be for these Synod to save face after losing so much to this forsaken war::

Admiral_Harlan says:
Aderyn: In this time and place, I have been given representation of the Federation.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Looks at the Synod, wondering if their relationship is based on trust, fear, or force?::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Regnum: Oh, is that what she meant? ::frowns:: After all th work to get this far I have a bad feeling now.

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Varkenshaar> ::steps forward, his voice is high, almost humorously low, like that of a small child's:: Harlan/All: Then you are the one we came to see. To beg your mercy.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::leans forward a bit, listening carefully, watching history unfold::

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::feels incredibly uncomfortable at the "mercy" request.:: Self: We didn't even start this.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::watches the scene, trying to make heads or tails of it from his vantage point::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::But them trough his mind passes picture of all injured and dead, making him to bow down his head and try not to share a tear out::

Admiral_Harlan says:
Varkenshaar:  We do not ask you to beg.  We have come here to bring peace to our peoples.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::her antennae stand straight up:: Self: Mercy?!?  Where was their mercy towards us?

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::sits back and folds her arms across her chest::

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Klau> ::carefully sheathing his talons:: Harlan: We offer no terms. You have bested us in combat. We have right to ask for nothing, merely beg as they say. We... ::obviously struggles with the term:: Surrender.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::leans over:: Jeq: Doesn't take much to bed for your life you think?

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he listen to whispers all around him and comments he then begun to realize how many has been lost on Federation soul and it value, thanks to this wars::

Admiral_Harlan says:
Klau: We accept your surrender, unconditionally.  And from here, we offer you peace... and ask for the opportunity to create if not friendship, perhaps respect between our people, that will lead to peace.  :: Eyes harden briefly::  We wish never to walk this path again with you.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ARC_CO: Actually, Captain... it takes a great deal. More than you will possibly know... No offense of course.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Self: Ah that's it ... ::stands up from his seat::

SCENE: At some unseen signal, diplomatic staff from Sharikahr come out with a metal tube. From the tube they pull a scroll, the surrender agreement, and place it on a table in front of Harlan and the Tribunal.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::speaks up:: Klau: Why did you attack us in the first place ?

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::hears the obviously implied threat but makes no mention of it, turning at the voice::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ARC_CO: Captain!

Nighthawk_CO_Capt_Monroe says:
::Looks at the Captain Standing, and wonders who else will test the waters::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ARC_CO: Now is not the time for incriminating questions! ::tries to yank him back down into his seat::

Apache_CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Thinks it's lucky the Klingons weren't in charge of this operation, or it wouldn't have stopped until all those bird brains were stuffed and mounted::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Lays her hand across the scroll:: Synod: I have one question.  Why do you wish to surrender?  Why did you go to war with us?

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at Bodine and frowns, hoping they don't need to continue fighting at the surrender ceremony even::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::his eyes arc up at the human captain who just broke the calm of the ceremony, but finds himself extremely curious to hear the answer::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Glares at the yelling captain, obviously considering his action highly inappropriate::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::turns in her seat to see a Captain stand and ask the question she would like to have asked::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
FCO: I would have them answer they came all the WAY to Arcadia 100s of thousands of light years and all we did as sign peace treaties!

Prism_Adm_Richmond says:
:: How unprofessional, even if it's on everyone's mind ::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ARC_CO: You're causing a scene!

Captain_JohnSea_Ret says:
Arcadia_CO: That’s enough

Synod_Tribunal says:
::obviously understood the question:: ::turns back to Harlan:: Harlan: We offer surrender now, so that you raze no more of our cities.

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
::Shakes his head, they don't seem to get it.::  All: Arcadia's Captain has a right to ask, even if the timing may be wrong.

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::thinks "raze?" - that was an accident::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::manages to pull him back down to his seat and whispers angrily:: ARC_CO: You can't possibly know how much pain they are going through! They're humiliated! 

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
ALL:  Why start the war in the first place? ::standing so she can be seen::

Andromeda_CO_Commdr_Sketek says:
::While he is no diplomat himself, begins to think that this is going on very unprofessional lines::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::A confused look:: Self: Raze their cities?  What are they talking about?

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
ALL: It's not a hard question. I am only asking. Our blood was spilled Synod blood was spilled Amenti blood was spilled was it WORTH it I ask of you was it?

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::leans forward a bit, thinking this is going a tad off script::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
ARC_FCO: There is merit to your captain's outburst, m'lady. ::keeps his eyes on the Klau leader::

Captain_JohnSea_Ret says:
Arcadia_CO: If you are attempting to disrupt these proceeds, the Fleet Admiral will handle it

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Lifts her hand to quiet those around her, a quick look of hard eyes following.  Then turns back to the Synod.::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Hopes that what could have been an overture for a healthy relationship with another civilization won't turn into a revenge-motivated show trial::

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Aderyn> ::hears the question again but looks back at Harlan:: Harlan: We have studied your history. The paper... we are to sign?

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CL_CTO: I don't think so.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::steeples his fingers in front of him.  He knows only one answer.  War never makes sense.  It just is::

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
ARC_FCO: No more or less pain then he is in

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Ret: Are we to never know.. I have earned the right to ask! And if I wont be satisfied then I wont be apart of this. ::slams his fist down and attempts to make his way out of chambers::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Patiently waits, her eyes not leaving Aderyn::  Aderyn: Peace begins with understanding.

Captain_JohnSea_Ret says:
All: We must have charity for all and malice towards none this is the way forward

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Varkenshaar> ::fingers the edge of the page, reading the document:: Harlan: We understand you as well as we care to. We seek only silence.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::is relieved that Capt. Bodine left, maybe there won't be any more disruptions::

Admiral_Harlan says:
Varkenshaar: If you understand us, you know we try to learn from our history.  For those who do not learn are forever doomed to repeating it.  We will not repeat this.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::does not watch Bodine leave, simply keeps his eyes on the Synod representatives, studying the emotions in their avian eyes, and the movements of their body language::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Wonders why the question isn't answered::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::watches Bodine walk out, then focuses back on the Admiral, not sure whether to be humored by this or disappointed::

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Klau> ::shoulders past his compatriots:: Harlan: Then lets see that it is done. ::unsheathes his talons again and dips one in the well of ink, black liquid dripping from the end as he makes a scratch on the paper where a signature should be.

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::looks down at her hands, and finally lets her back connect to the back of her seat, realizing she is more tired than she'd care to admit. Tired of way too many things::

Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Watches the proceedings: Self: I wonder why they won't answer?

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::finds the Klau's maneuver darkly amusing::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::stands outside chambers breathing heavily::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Adm/ CH_CMO/ CH_OPS: This can't last, not if they refuse to understand, refuse to even try.  This isn't the end we need, or the true end.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Points to the line unsigned by herself, waiting.::

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::nods to her captain in agreement::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::scoots over towards Eos::  CMO:  ::quietly::    This......isn't what I was expecting....

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He begins to look across the room and whispers back:: Ch CO/ADM/OPS: Sadly it is not.

Synod_Tribunal says:
::the other two make their own mark. The Aderyn's is florid, in their language, the Varkenshar's is short and rune-like::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
Ch-CO:  Perhaps the answer is coming... one we can live with.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CH_Adm: Doubt that they want peace only so we don’t destroy they cities ::Wispers::

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::looks up at the Synod, then turns to Bill:: CL_EO: What were you expecting... ?

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Considers a moment, considering her orders, and then reaches to sign beside that of the Federation symbol.  Then steps back:: Synod: My answer please....

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::thoughts drift back to his ship outside, still smoking from the damage it sustained in this fight, finding the juxtaposition unsettling::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
CH_Adm: They need to see blood and hate to other species runs trough they blood.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
CL_CMO: You know....boring speeches, a little ceremonial signature...and then we're done.

Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Looks at Ahkileez, wondering what his thoughts on this are::

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Aderyn> ::looks at Harlan, and then back at the crowd:: Harlan: We are at your mercy. And we must do as you ask, though it shames us.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch_Adm/CO/OPS: They need a person who will survive long enough to tore down the regime and philosophy in they civilization.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch_Adm/CO/OPS: And from the looks of it they need a loot of time.

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Aderyn> ::steps back from the table and looks up at the sky blue flag of the Federation:: ::walks over and waves his hand over the ivy and stars:: Harlan: You are many. ::points to a single one of the stars:: We... are few.

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::nods:: CL_EO: I see. But... these people did not come here seeking peace. ::looks tired:: Don't pay attention to what they say, this is merely a truce. That is why... ::makes a flourished gesture with her hands:: it's like this instead.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::rises and moves to the door at the rear where he can still watch and sees Bodine::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Shakes her head, knowing shame did not bring peace.::   Aderyn: Then join us and be part of the many.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
CH-CMO:  Races have to WANT to change, forcing them is no good.  How can they change when we can't get a straight answer out of them as to why this mess started?

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Aderyn> ::shakes his head, his plumage swaying:: Harlan: We only wish to be left alone. But... ::walks back over:: When you signed accord with the Amenti... everything our eyes beheld became yours. We became an island, surrounded by others not of our choosing.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::sees a most captivating moment in time as Aderyn looks up at the Federation flag, and comes to a remarkable moment of understanding:: ARC_FCO: Behold, they speak their curiosities of us. Soon, with time, they will understand we are not conquerors, only a fellowship of worlds.

Apache_CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Looks stunned. JOIN us? That's like asking the Cardassians onboard after the last war... unbelievable::

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::nods:: Bodine: There is no answer that will meet your needs.  War is a thing of passions and chief among those are fear.  No explanation will cause the pain of what has happened to stop.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at the Synod Tribunal and listens for a second:: 

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
Self: All of this because they wanted to be left alone?

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Aderyn> ::turns back to Harlan sadly:: Harlan: We struck first in the hope that you would find us unfit and leave us be. We feared an invasion by your empire. And that which we feared, we precipitated.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch-Adm: Do you understand them, they still think they are not to be blamed for it.

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CL_CTO: Yep. That is the ultimate goal in any diplomats life. To bring as many worlds as we can under the wing of the Federation... ::smiles at her pun:: No pun intended of course. 

Admiral_Harlan says:
Aderyn: If it is to be left alone, we can grant you that.  All we ask in return is the same then.  You will not be allowed to rebuild your military again, to threaten us.  However, should you ever need our strength, we will come.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks down at her fidgeting and twisting hands.  Whispering to herself::  Self: Is peace so impossible to hold in our hands.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch-Adm: They are still closed minded and I believe that they represent one of those species that maybe think of them self like god given race.

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CH_Adm:  I just want this to be over, so I can bring my family back together.

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Klau> ::speaks up, his squawking voice loud and raspy:: Harlan: That is all we can ask for. We want nothing to do with your stars. We want ours and ours alone.

Captain_JohnSea_Ret says:
::shifts uncomfortably at the thought of a defensive pact::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::blinks... they went to war with us in the hope that they wouldn't be invaded.... ::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
CL_CTO: It is so wonderful when worlds join ours... nothing can describe the feeling... ::smiles at the memories of her past life:: 

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Nods::  Synod: Then let the peace of solitude begin.  And perhaps one day, you will seek more.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Smiles on Ch_OPS conclusion:: Ch_Adm: And to get some sleep.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Looks out among those gathered::  All: It is done.  Do not let those who paid for this peace in blood be in vain.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::grins for the first time today:: ARC_FCO: Of course. That was most witty of you. ::clears his throat and listens, thinking he should talk some more with this most interesting Trill female later::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at the Admiral, then at the Synod Tribunal, and can't help but feel that this isn't the first conflict their two respective groups will fight::

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
Ch-CO, CMO, OPS:  Well it seems fear was the motivating factor.  And, as he said, they brought this on themselves.  I am tired, let's go home.

Apache_CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Hopes the pride and arrogance and bile in these creatures chokes them all and they disappear from history. If she never sees another one it will be too soon::

Captain_Red says:
::starts to wonder how much it is going to cost the Federation to take care of the Synod... there's a myriad of reasons why he does not feel too fond of them at the moment::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Nods and awaits for Admiral to get up and follows her::

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::anger suddenly wells up inside of her::

Synod_Tribunal says:
Harlan: If the gods smile on us, we will never see each other again. We cherish our Sanctum. We have no wish for the outside.

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CH_Adm/CH_CMO:  Can't wait to send word to my father to send the Twins back.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::still pacing outside chambers::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
CL_CMO: It seems so strange that we can put our little bird signatures on paper, and that's supposed to make it all better...

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
Adm: I'll be along.  I'd rather see this to the end, even if the end is to be a failure.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Keeping eye contact, bows slightly and steps back.::  Synod: Peace

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::with out even a nod to the SH_AXO or SH_ACO she quickly stands and pushes her way out  of the chamber::

Captain_JohnSea_Ret says:
:: and now we have to smooth things over with the Tholians and pay for Synod reconstruction, sigh::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch_OPS: They surly miss you very much.

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Shakes her head slightly:: Self: To be left alone they attacked and killed so many......incredible

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::hears the growing unease in the attendance and stands:: All: In the Academy, I learned that no soldier is truly successful until the day that he can put his weapon down. I believe we have been successful.

Cherokee_Adm_Alexander says:
::nods and stands up, walking slowly out of the room::

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
CH_CMO:  Not as much as I miss them.

Quirinus_CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turns to look at the final moment on the dais and then walks quietly out into the hall. In time he will compartmentalize the comings and endings of war, but for now he must deal with what he has done::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Nods toward captain Daylan::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Ch_OPS: I could only guess.

Synod_Tribunal says:
<Adern> ::bows and then nervously looks at the group:: Harlan: We wish to return to our ship, and our worlds, and our privacy.

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::the smile doesn't reach her eyes:: CL_EO: Little bird signatures... ::shakes her head::

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::nods to CH_CMO::

Admiral_Harlan says:
Adern: None will stop you.

Apache_CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Listens to the Admiral and knows this won't be the last time. However, she takes solace in knowing Tactical will always be there, to hold the line against the coming of the night::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Smiles and gets up and follows Adm::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::seeing Sulek:: Sulek: Is it done then?

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CL_CO: I hope so, but do you really think the weapons are down for good?  By the powers I hope you're right, but I can't trust to that.

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::shakes his head and stands::  CL_CMO:  Sorry, maybe that is an immature way of expressing what I'm feeling, but this is little more than a stalemate.

Sharikahr_CIV_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::returning to her quarters she quickly whirls around and slams a flat palm hard into the bulkhead::

Claymore_CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks over at Ayidee:: Ch_CO: We can't ever have peace if we're always spoiling for a fight, Captain.

Cherokee_OPS_LtCmdr_Nash says:
::she follows her crew that are leaving, her husband follows along::

SCENE: The Aderyn, with a smaller escort of security, make their way out of the conference hall and back to their ships.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: As the Synod turn to leave, she catches the eyes of her various admirals and captains and motions for them to remain for a discussion.::

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::starts to walk away, but the turns back::  CL_CMO:  Quite frankly, I'm just not satisfied with the outcome.  The fighting has stopped, but....  ::turns and looks to leave the conference hall::

Cherokee_CO_Capt_Ayidee says:
CL_CO: I know, but without understanding...  I won't continue.  This isn't the place for debate.

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
::gets up and looks for Bodine again::

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::turns his eyes back to the ominous, unemotional gaze of Ahkileez, then stands guard by the exit, watching over the others still in the room::

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
::stands as well:: CL_EO: I understand. For some reason, though, I found the comment funny. It must be that I need a nap.

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Turns to Red::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
ARC_CIV: He's outside, Captain. 

Captain_Red says:
Admiral_Harlan: Congratulations... ?

Apache_CTO_Lt_Hembrook says:
::Turns and leaves the room, she has a long way to go to return to her ship::

Captain_Ahkileez says:
::stands and stretches, expressionless, just tired of the fighting::

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
::gives the Synod a look as they pass him::

Claymore_CMO_Lt_Eos says:
CL_EO: Or a drink. ::looks around to see who else might want one, or seven::

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::Looks at the rest of Medical staff in this conference room and finds a tired faces::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Looks at her old friend in slight disgust::  Red: This should never have happened.  And now... :: Looks out among the general unease.::

Arcadia_MO_Ens_Jeq says:
::shakes her head and tells herself that not everyone has experienced all she has::

Andromeda_CTO_Cmdr_Senek says:
::Stays in the hall with the captains and admirals, as Sketek isn't there to represent his ship::

Arcadia_CIV_Capt_Regnum says:
::walks up behind Bodine:: Bodine: John, you did it again, I wish you were at all of the diplomatic ceremonies I've had to attend, you always make them interesting

Claymore_EO_Lt_Davis says:
::reaches the back of the conference hall::

Admiral_Harlan says:
:: Turns back to the others::  All: All hands, stand down red alert.  :: quietly:: and for peace.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He walks to the Cl_CMO that was near and he overheard a word get a drink:: Cl_CMO: You mentioned drinks.

Claymore_CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
Self: It is done...just as it was for the Dominion in years past. ::thinks back to the past, of his father who had fallen in that war::

Delphyne_CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Stands and makes her way out of the hall, a few of her old crewmates from the Shari, come up to her::

Captain_Red says:
::quietly:: Admiral_Harlan: Now we have to pick up the pieces and never turn our backs completely. ::pauses:: Oh. Did I say that out loud.

Cherokee_CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
Cl_CMO/EO: My treat and no synthehol.

Arcadia_CO_Capt_Bodine says:
Regnum: I thought you would have something negative to say ... And technically you where not at the last one you merely saw me dragged out of it ..
