Man or Monkey, pt 2

Host warp9 says:
Last week on the USS Pendragon...

Host warp9 says:
The ship set off to find evidence of sentience in a species native to Divi V

Host warp9 says:
::video of Pen dropping from warp near a solar system::

Host warp9 says:
Captain Rofax soon became embroiled in a conflict with the Cardassians of Divi VI.

Host warp9 says:
Will he risk everything in a showdown?

Host warp9 says:
Is any of the crew aware of his history?

Host warp9 says:
::cue mysterious and slightly off-key dramatic music::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
Captain's Log - 10504.16

The Pendragon has been sent to investigate the discovery of a possible sentient species. An unpleasant surprise awaited us in the form of several Cardassian transport vessels apparently detaining and transporting the creatures.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
We have disabled the communications buoy, but ironically, the message was sent to Cmdr Peers. There are far more questions that warrant answers than when we first arrived...

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
<<>>

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::on the bridge looking rather disturbed::  All: Report.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::on the bridge at her station::

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
::playing with the console at TAC1::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::standing at SCI one scanning everything in the local vicinity::

FCO_White says:
::at the helm::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::On the bridge at the engineering station::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks around at the CO:: CO:  Sir, do you have to antagonize the Cardassians so much?  ::waits for the retort::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Would you prefer I blast them out of orbit?  ::raises his hand towards the TAC console::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: arrives on the bridge and takes his accustomed position to the left of the Captain's chair ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  No ... but perhaps a more diplomatic approach ... ::continues scanning::

FCO_White says:
CO: We are in orbit of the sixth planet sir, awaiting orders.

Host warp9 says:
ACTION:  Three Cardassian freighters orbit Divi VI

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CO: I would suggest, Captain, that we determine exactly what is happening on Divi VI before we risk an interstellar incident.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: A diplomatic solution to forced slavery?  I have advised them of their actions and ordered them to leave orbit.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Three freighters around Divi VI now. All lightly armed and well shielded.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
TO: Work with the CEO and find a manner to make them less shielded.  This incident is far from over.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, we don't know that's the case yet.  Let's get evidence before we start accusing ...

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CO: With respect, sir, we have yet to determine what has actually happened to the missing inhabitants of Divi V.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: One of the freighters transporters are working, sir.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Yes, sir.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Tracing the transport now ... ::scans to see what they are transporting ...

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
ALL: The Cardassians referred to them as "stock." I think their intentions are clear.

CTO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Any ideas on disabling their shields?

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Check that transporter signal for bio-signs and if detected.  Intercept the transport and route them to sickbay.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Already on it, Captain.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
CTO: Yes. I have a little magnetic mine we can deploy that will attach itself to the shuttles. It sends out a pulse that will degrade their shield frequencies

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::whispers::  XO: I want answers and if that means getting beneath the surface, then so be it.  Prepare a team and the FCO can pilot a shuttle to the surface.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  They are transporting Cardassians ... do you still want me to intercept it?

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
CTO: We'll need an efficient delivery method

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Never mind.  Just determine where they are headed.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Can already tell you that.  They have beamed down to the surface.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Disarmed torps?

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: raises an eyebrow, but nods assent ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CO: Sir I’m getting scans of the planet surface. Just a few Cardassians milling about.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Any specific coordinates?

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The Pendragon is hailed.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, we're being hailed.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CSO: Any sign of the Divi V inhabitants?

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
TO: That would work, but we'd need them to be even more precise that the ones we currently use. Can you increase their accuracy at all?

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: By whom?

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Maybe if we tweaked them. We'd have to actually go down there.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CO: To much interference, I can't get anything else

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: turns to his console and orders the shuttle equipped with cold-weather gear and extra survival rations ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  It's coming from Divi VI ...

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Shall I put it onscreen, Sir?

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Audio only.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::Nods and opens the channel, audio only:: CO:  Channel open.

Host Guron says:
COMM:   Pendragon:  Something we can do for you?

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Guron: You can vacate the area.  You have been advised of your violations and yet you refuse to comply.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
TO: Not a problem. I know every inch of this ship ::dubious:: Lead on.

Host Guron says:
COMM:  CO:  Captain, have you forgotten you are not in Federation space?

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::mutters something about the Cardassians can do something that would probably be inappropriate to say aloud::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Guron: Federation space may be defined, but the Federation Code applies to all areas of the galaxy.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Alright, then. *TO_Who*: I need you to get up here and take over TAC1.

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  One of the freighters leaves orbit.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::hopes someone gets a heading on that freighter::

Host Guron says:
::chuckles::  COMM:  CO:  Your charges are based on an assumption, Captain.  An assumption that is not accurate.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
<TO_Who> *TO* Yes, sir! ::practically runs towards the TL and orders it to Bridge::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Guron: If that is the case, then you will enlighten me as to the nature of your workforce on Divi VI and the whereabouts of the Divi V inhabitants.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::verifies the course and speed of the departing freighter listing her probable destinations.::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
*Eng*: Ensign....::tries to remember who is on duty:: Have a standard magnetic mine, with the following alterations ::sends him the specifications:: Sent to the torpedo bay

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::whispers:: CO:  Sir, one freighter has left orbit and is en route to Divi V ...

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
<Eng>*CEO*: Aye Sir

Host Guron says:
COMM: CO:  Inhabitants?  There are many species on Divi V.  To which are you referring?

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::gets in to the TL:: TL: Forward Torpedo Bay Control. ::said when the CEO enters the TL::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Guron: The sentient species which has been decimated with no apparent cause to the effect. Who is mining Divi VI?! ::sounding more agitated::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::picks something up on Cardassian comm chatter that troubles her:: XO:  Commander ...

Host Guron says:
COMM:  CO:  Calm down Captain.  You assume incorrectly.  There is no evidence they are sentient.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::nods to OPS::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::follows along::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Guron: And you assume they are Cardassian property for the taking.  Your arrogance will seal your fate.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::waits as the TL, slowly it seems, goes to the torpedo bay.. exits when it arrives::

Host Guron says:
COMM:  CO:  Captain.  There are formal channels for resolving these types of issues.  Let nature take its course.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sir, according to the Cardassians own comms ... they are going to Divi V to "restock" ...

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
COMM: Guron: Nature is not interfered with by transports and forced labor.  Now, will you answer my question?  Who is mining Divi VI?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::signals the shuttlebay to prepare the Jamin in standard low observability mode, and continues to monitor the Cardassian vessel's course::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::turns and whispers::  OPS: Prepare to cut the comm.

Host Guron says:
COMM:  CO:  Cardassians are mining Divi VI, Captain.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::motions to OPS::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Torpedo bay one sound good?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::nods and cuts the comm:: CO:  Channel closed.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO: Lay in pursuit course, Divi V.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::exits into the torpedo bay:: TO: I hope you know what were doing. It's been a while since I worked with ordinance.

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The freighter enters orbit of Divi V.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
TO: Sure

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  There is one thing though ... I didn't sense any kind of sentience from any of the life forms on that planet.  What makes you so sure they are sentient?

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CO: I assume you still want a team to go to Divi VI, sir?

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
CSO: Find anything you can to use against them.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::lays in a high energy course to Divi V::CO: Course laid in.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
CO: Not as yet sir, no.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: We'll manage. ::grins::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
XO: Take the FCO and CSO get to the surface.  Find me some answers.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Where's that mine at ?

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::approaches a torpedo:: TO: How long will this take? The mines are ready.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Not too long at all.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO: Engage and call for relief.  You have a rendezvous with a shuttle.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::Scans surface of Divi V as they approach::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::opens up the torpedo and rewires it a little:: CEO: Mine.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
CO: Aye, sir.    FCO, CSO: White, Toms... you're with me.   :: heads for the turbolift ::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::presses 'engage' and presses 'relief' than walks quickly to the turbolift::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
OPS: ~~~ Back soon, sweetheart. Keep the home fires burning. ~~~

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black> ::Arrives on the bridge and heads for the helm station::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Hands over station and heads to TL::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Hail the freighter.  Also, monitor the Cardassian energy signature for signs of transporter activity.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CEO / TO* How are those modifications coming?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::smiles as she senses the XO's comment ... then turns to her console and hails the freighter::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
TO: Good to hear. ::picks up one of the small mines. We'll need the torpedo itself to miss - and not be detected - the mines will attach them selves as long at they’re in range

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<SO_Loco>CO: Sir scans of Divi V show no changes since last time

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Captain, scanners detecting mass transports from the surface .. 20 of the hominids have been beamed aboard the freighter.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::waits in the Turbolift for the others:: XO: Sir, What is our plan of action?

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The freighter does not respond to hails

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
*CO*: We should be done in a few minutes

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
SO_Loco: Keep an eye on...  ::curses::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  I'm going to try to intercept the next transport.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::attaches the mine to the torpedo and runs a couple wires to it:: CEO: That should do it..

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:   No response to hails.  I'll keep trying.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
FCO: Just what the Captain ordered. Go down to the surface of Divi VI and find some answers.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Noted.  When their shields drop, try to transport the hominids already aboard.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
*CO*: Sir, torpedo to disable shields is ready.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: with his two crewmates now in the turbolift car :: TL: Shuttlebay.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
XO: Do we expect armed resistance? Or are we to avoid conflict?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::scans for the location of the hominids on the freighter ... ready to beam them off when the shields drop.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*TO*: Prepare to fire.  Sensor relays are being routed your direction.  ::nods to the bridge crew::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Scanners cannot penetrate the freighters shields ... I can't locate the hominids onboard ...

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
FCO: I think we'd better be prepared for anything, where Cardassians are concerned.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
*CO* Yes, sir. Have them sent to TAC1.

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The freighter leaves orbit of Divi V enroute to VI, but giving the Pen a wide berth.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
TO: Here goes nothing ::smiles::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
<SO_Loco>CO: Sir, scanners are showing a drop of about 20 in the number of hominids

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  They're leaving ...

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: So I hope..

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
<TO_Who> ::Begins receiving coordinates:: CO: Ready to fire, sir!

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
XO/FCO: This is going to be fun

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: the trio leaves the turbolift and heads immediately for the shuttle ::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
TO_Who: Fire.  But, only to disable the freighter shields.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::lays in an intercept course on the Transport and engages::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CO: Yes, sir! ::fires the torpedo in bay 1 at the freighter::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: Lay in several passes.  One shot may not do it.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::steps off the lift and walks quickly towards the FDC:: FDC: Is the Jamin ready?

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The torpedo explodes in the launcher, causing significant damage including a hull breach.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::checks her board:: CO:  I'm ready to beam the hominids off::

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  Alarms go off on the bridge

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::stands back:: TO: It's been a while since I've seen one of these things fired at close range

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Whoah!

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
*MED*: Medical to the torpedo bay....TO: Are you all right

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::feels the Pen shudder::  OPS: What was that....

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::dusts himself off::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: Yeah.. How about you?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Sensors are detecting an explosion in the forward torpedo tube.   I'm reading severe damage and a hull breach.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: taps commbadge :: *Bridge*: Bridge, this is Thraxis. Are we under attack?

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
CEO: I don't see how that happened.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Get all you can.  We have other problems.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
CEO: I'm okay. Check the others. Medical is on the way. Good thing there weren't many people here

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  Medical teams are dispatched as ordered.  They report only minor casualties along the way.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Bridge to Torpedo bay.  What happened?

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::fells the deck shake.:: Self: Wonderful.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::begins moving to others and checking their condition::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*XO* Felt like the forward launchers.  Sensors are detecting a breach.  Get your team out while the confusion may work to our advantage.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FDC>FCO: She's good to go.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
*OPS*: The torpedo malfunctioned, and exploded in the tube. Good thing it was disarmed or we wouldn't be speaking right now.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::heads for the Jamin on launch pad one::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.   :: turns to the others :: All: All aboard. We're outta here.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
TO_Who: Open fire.  Disable the freighter engines.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>CO: Orders sir? ::still on an intercept course with the freighter::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*CEO*:  Understood.  CO:  Sir, the torpedo detonated in the tube.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
<TO_Who> CO: Yes, sir! ::begins locking on the freighter and firing at key points::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Phasers were affected to?

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
:: boards the shuttle, takes the copilot seat ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::checks::  CO:  I don't think so, but I'm checking now.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
::takes a spare seat::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
*ENG*: We need damage control in the main torpedo bay. ::listens to the approaching ensign:: What?

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
TO: Great, the doors are jammed, we're trapped here

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: Overtake the freighter and cut her off.  If we cannot disable them, then we will get in the way.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::climbs into the Jamin pressing buttons and activating some systems than closes the door behind them::*Bridge* Shuttle Jamin requests launch clearance.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::looks up at the CEO:: CEO: Oh, lovely.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Phasers are mostly operational.  However, we do have one blind spot aft.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
TO: I'll look for a way to get the doors open. Inform the bridge of our situation of you would. 

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::nods to OPS::  OPS: Get them out of here.  ::looks to the comm speaker::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::punches the Pendragon over top of the freighter than signals the shuttle bay doors open to move things along::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*FCO*:  Shuttle Jamin, you are cleared for launch.  Good luck.

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
*Bridge*: This is Newind. The doors are stuck. We're going to be here a while.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::Keeps running through the short check list:: XO: We'll be good to go in a moment. Buckle up.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: Watch our backside and keep the Pen between the freighter and the shuttle.  Provide cover for as long as possible.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
*TO*:  Understood.  I'll see what I can do from up here.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO/FCO: Been a while since I went on a suicide mission ::smiles, then starts rubbing forehead::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*TO* Mr. Newind.  Perhaps you'll want to stay there.  What happened down there?!?

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
*CO*: Sir, I'm not entirely sure. The torpedo exploded inside the bay. I disarmed it before it happened, though.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::opens the shuttlebay doors::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::swings the Pendragon around on an attack run::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*TO* I encourage you to find some answers then. I fully expected to take on no damage for our efforts, but I see I was mistaken.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
::pours on the throttle sending the Jamin screaming out of the shuttle bay.::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::sighs:: *CO*: Yes, sir. I'm on it.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  The shuttle is away.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CEO* Mr. Damien.  Any redeeming efforts up your sleeve?  The deflector dish and ramming speed are about all you two left me to work with....

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: Any luck pinpointing the hominids?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  No, Sir.  I need their shields down ...

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::looks to the CEO... quietly: :: CEO: Bum-bah-bah-bah-Bahhh... ::moves back over to the torp bay::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ :: recovers from the high-acceleration launch :: FCO: That was... a bit outside standard launch protocol, Mr. White.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black> ::sweeps the Pendragon around hard sweeping them between the freighter and the shuttle.::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
CO: Captain, we're working to repair the damage, which is minimal, as we speak. Maybe if you beamed me out of here, to main engineering, I might be able to provide you with more options

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The freighter is nearing Divi VI, but not interfering with the Jamin.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::is still rubbing forehead::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::keeps the throttle pushed up to the stops tearing up space for atmosphere:: XO: Suicide missions and protocol don't go together well.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: What if we made a high speed pass that crossed the shields?  Could we use the interference to obtain a lock?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Maybe ....

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::begins calculating the possibility::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: See what you can do.  In the mean time, beam the CEO and TO to their respective stations.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::Calculates rapidly:: XO: ETA running just short of five minutes.

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ FCO: We're not on a suicide mission, Mr. White. I don't believe in suicide missions.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::locks onto the CEO and beams him to Engineering, then locks onto the TO and beams him to the bridge::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::feels the familiar tingle of the transporter::

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The CEO finds his staff hard at work on repairs.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::Laughs:: XO: You'd better start believing, sir, because your on one.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CEO* Mr. Damien.  I have a new headache for you to address.  If the Pendragon passes inside on the freighter's shield bubble, can we cause a large enough disturbance to establish a transporter lock?

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The TO is accidentally transported into Rofax's lap.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@::is still rubbing forehead. :: 

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::materializes::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::begins assessing the damage, briefed by on of his subordinates::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::quickly jumps off once he realizes where he is at::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::resists the urge to shove the TO off::  TO: Station please....  ::through clenched teeth::

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: I’m not sure of that either sir. ::keeps rubbing temples::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::watches as the TO materializes ... laughing uncontrollably then looks for somewhere to hide, given the CO's mood::

TO_LtJg_Newind says:
::moves towards his station with a slight grimace covering his face..::

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black> ::plots various attack courses::

XO_LtCmdr_Thraxis says:
@ CSO: We'll see. Are you all right, Mr. Toms?

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@XO: Tired sir. Not sleeping well. But I'll be fine

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::shoots OPS a frown strangely reminiscent of Capt Zax::  OPS: The waste recyclers are overdue for a cleaning.  Did I hear you volunteer?

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The Jamin is near enough to orbit Divi VI.  The freighter, due to its circuitous route, will be a few more minutes.

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
*CO*: It's a strong possibility. I'll get to work on it now, all repairs are underway

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::dives the black painted Jamin into the planet's atmosphere cutting down hard through the atmosphere with the shields at full:: CSO: You have a LZ for us yet?

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::stifling a chuckle:: CO:  No, I don't think I did, Sir.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CEO* Make it quick.  That freighter cannot be allowed to complete the transport.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
::grunts::  OPS: I see.

CSO_LtCmdr_Toms says:
@FCO: Yup. ::sends him some coordinates that will put them close but not to close to a mine entrance::

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
::activates a 120,00 megahertz resonance pulse through the deflector dish:: *CO*: See if you can get a lock now - but hurry, I cannot sustain this pulse

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
::looks at the calculations:: CO:  Sir, this might work ... The timing will need to be precise but I think we can do it ...

Host Guron says:
ACTION:  The freighter plods along through space.

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
FCO_Black: I want you to prepare a course that will intercept the freighter's transporter signal.  We mat not be able to stop them, but I want to get enough we can use later....

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
OPS: I'm listening.

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Attempting to lock on :: Scans for a lock::

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
<get close enough>

CO_Capt_Rofax says:
*CEO* Re-route power from all non-essential systems as needed.

FCO_LtJg_White says:
@::punches up the landing zone and mutters.  He clicks over to terrain following mode putting the Jamin just about a hundred feet off the planet's surface with the throttle all the way up.  Making for the CSO's landing location::

OPS_LtCmdr_Pettigrove says:
CO:  Let's see if the resonance pulse works ...

CEO_LtJg_Damien says:
*CO*: Aye

FCO_LtJg_White says:
<FCO_Black>::brings the Pendragon as close to the freighter as is 'safely' possible::
