Host Coot says:
Last Time on The USS Pendragon…

Host Coot says:
One of their own wavered between life and death, battling an illness that masked itself from the medical staff until arriving in the sector. Suspicions of slavery were confirmed and hundred of innocents were carted away on a vessel no one was supposed to see.

Host Coot says:
All the while the Romulans waited for their moment to strike, lurking in the remains of a shattered moon. What their interest in this place remains unknown as does the reasons to explain 200-year old Warbirds thought to have been scrapped.

Host Coot says:

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon wheels back to the Warbirds and opens fire as they close in.  The Warbirds return the favor.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::moves over to the three Hael natives on the Biobed and immediately grabs a hypospray:: Combs: Status report, Doctor. ::injects one of the Hael with Dexalin to increase oxygen flow::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::rinses out his mouth and washes his face::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::on the bridge, doing the Sciency thing::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::lying unconscious in sickbay::

TO_Tribble says:
:: still at tactical station, on bridge::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: They're in bad shape, Doctor. Not only are they oxygen deprived and malnourished, but it seems they've been beaten.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::just reported to the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stumbles into a TL::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Target weapons and engines. Do what you can to avoid destroying any of the ships.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Combs: Of course they have. ::speaks in an annoyed tone::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye.  ::targets weapons and engines::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon hits the lead vessel squarely. One of the Romulan vessels hits the Pendragon.  The other two hit the garbage scow again.

TO_Tribble says:
::targets the lead vessel and fires photon torpedoes::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Mr. Toms... check our historical databanks for specifications of Romulan ships of that vintage. Try to find a weakness we can exploit to shut them down.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::taps her Combadge:: *Servek*: Yates to Lieutenant Servek, take your emergency medical team down to the Cargo Bay and treat any of the Romulans who require medical care.

TO_Tribble says:
::targets the Rommie ship that hit Pendragon and fires phasers::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Aye sir. ::begins a search of the database for information on the Warbirds::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 7.  ::falls against the wall of the lift::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG. Servek> *CMO*: Understood, Doctor. ::contacts her team and heads for the Cargo Bay::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::unlocks engineering and looks over the board::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Jose, how many Romulans do we have in Cargo Bay Three thus far?

TO_Tribble says:
::firing phasers at Rommie vessels, alternately::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices the red alert as he exits the TL and heads toward Sickbay::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Romulan lead vessel takes another direct hit, their shields are failing.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::moves over to one of the Hael and looks over his vitals:: Self: I don't see how someone could be so horrible. ::injects the man:: Combs: Keep them monitored, at this point we cannot do anything more.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Hail the warbirds.

TO_Tribble says:
::continues targeting Rommie engines and weapons::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters a busy sickbay and looks around::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> ::watching Jordan, monitoring her vital signs, which are stable::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::hails::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: 75 Captain

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG. Servek> ::reaches the Cargo Bay with her Medical Team and begins to wade through the Romulans::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Romulan vessels... this is Captain Thraxis of the USS Pendragon. You are heavily outmatched, and your shields are failing. We have no wish to destroy you. Break off your attack.

TO_Tribble says:
::stops firing, but is ready::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: The Warbirds main noted weakness is her engines. We have speed on her, and probably maneuverability as well.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::notices the XO enter Sickbay and motions to Ashley::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees Jordan lying on a biobed and begins moving towards her::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Target the warbirds' engines exclusively.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.   ::targets warbirds' engines::

TO_Tribble says:
::fires full spread::

Host Pratek says:
# COMM: Pen: This is Pratek - you will back down and leave the area. You are trespassing in matters than do not concern you.  ::cuts the comm::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG. Servek> ::pauses as she looks over the scans, there do not seem to be many real problems with them::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: Another volley is fired from the Warbirds at the Pendragon.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~OPS:  Jordan?~~~

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Real charmer captain

Host CO_Thraxis says:
All: Nothing more stubborn than a Romulan with his back up.  TO: Fire to disable only.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Noted, Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::nods to Piper and moves behind Mikal:: XO: She'll live, that is the important thing.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::cannot "hear" the XO or anyone except the Captain::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Ashley ::whirls around to face her::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: Mikal hears no response.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::smiles slightly, a look of exhaustion on her face as she moves over to the sensor and support unit to check Jordan's vitals:: Barns: Nurse, please go and assist Lieutenant Combs.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> ::inclines her head and moves toward the Haels::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  I can't reach her.  I can't hear her.  ::moves close to OPS bed::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: One of the Hael's vitals crashes, the other two continue to struggle.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::shouts:: ALL: We're losing one!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes OPS hand::

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: I wonder is he has something up his sleeve.   Maybe he enhanced the warbird?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::jumps at the shout and runs toward the Biobed:: Combs: Cardiac stimulators! ::watches as they are put in place and attempts to re-start the heart::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::leans forward and kisses OPS gently on the forehead::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::gently squeezes the XO's hand but doesn't open her eyes yet::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
TO: It's always a possibility

TO_Tribble says:
::continues firing::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: Sensors are detecting three new engine signatures emerging from the fragmented moon.  They match the three vessels already here.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::continues to look at the information on the Warbirds, whilst comparing incoming sensor data and signatures with the historical data::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: We are so outnumbered

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::blocks out the emotional commotion in the room and focuses on Jordan::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Shall I target the new vessels, Sir?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: The others are beginning to fail as well!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Steady on, Jose.    TO: Affirmative.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::moves her head slightly as her eyes begin to flutter::

TO_Tribble says:
::targets lead new vessel::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: How many Romulans do we have on board now?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Self: Come on! ::watches the body of the Hael jump from the Biobed several more times:: Combs: Keep them stable.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::continues to hold her hand::  OPS:  Wake up Jordan.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Sir! Those ships have a serious flaw. When they begin to maneuver their weapons and shields lose power.

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: The lead vessel has taken heavy damage and breaks off.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::slowly opens her eyes::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::sighs as nothing happens:: All: We've lost him. ::moves over to the other two, attempting to increase their chances of survival::

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: So much for him.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Hello beautiful.  ::smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks panicked ... cannot sense anyone in the room::

TO_Tribble says:
::keeping an eye on the new vessels and the remaining old vessels::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Good work.   TO: Concentrate fire on their engines as they turn.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> ::moves over to Jordan and begins to check over her readings::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::squeezes her hand::  OPS:  Everything is all right Jordan.   You're not alone.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::watches the battle unfold::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Doctor, we've done all that we can here... ::is at a loss of what to do::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::starts feeding sensor info about the Warbirds power readings over to Tac to help time the shots::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks at him as if he is not there::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: One of the Hael speak to the CMO is their native language. The UT cannot decipher it.

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Thanks.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Barnes:  Can you get Ashley?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::smiles at Tribble::

TO_Tribble says:
::notes the sensor info shows one of the older vessels about to turn, targets its engines, and fires::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Combs: Keep them stable, Doctor. I want a Medical Technician next to them, if their vitals get any lower I want them to administer as many stimulants as... ::looks toward the Hael:: Hael: You'll be alright. ::smiles slightly, not understanding::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Listen to me.  Listen to my voice, Jordan.  ::recites some Betazed poetry::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: The five remaining Warbirds encircle the Pendragon, continuing their assault.  Two of the vessels' shields are down to 50%.  Pendragon's shields are at 75%.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> XO: I would, Commander, but... ::motions to the Biobeds:: XO: She seems a bit busy. I'll inform her Commander Thraxis is awake. ::moves off::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~CMO:  She's confused, frightened maybe.~~~

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Let's see if we can't take out two more of them.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::nods as her orders are given and walks over to a console, attempting to see if she can decipher the language some how::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::speaks in a raspy soft voice:: XO: Mikal?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::starts doing an in depth scan of the moon nearby to see if he can grab any info on more possible ships::

TO_Tribble says:
::watches sensor data, picks a good time, and fires at one and then the other of the damaged ships::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Yes.  It's me.  Everything is all right now.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks over at the Hael ..... ::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::moves a bit closer to the Hael who spoke to her:: ~~~XO: It is expected, Mikal. I don't know how she'll handle it all...~~~

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::looks at his board:: CO We have an estimate of 95 now

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Jordan.  Don't trouble yourself.  You did all you could.

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Great!

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
XO:  I cannot sense you ... I cannot sense anyone here ... but them ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: stands ::   TO: Hailing frequencies.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Hael: My name is Ashley, I'm a Doctor. ::smiles slightly as she reads over the scans::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: Three of the Romulan vessels break off for a new attack. The damages vessels pick up speed and begin heading straight for the Pendragon.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::hails the vessels::

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: Get us out of that path!

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::shakes her head:: Combs: Doctor, keep an eye on them for a moment. I'd like to check on Jordan.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  You can sense them?  ::looks at the Hael::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Suicide run?!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM*: Romulan vessels... we now have nearly a hundred of your comrades from the planet surface on board. Destroy us, and they die. Break off your attack.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Aye, Doctor. ::moves over to the Hael who spoke and watches him closely::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
XO:  Yes.  I get the sense that all is not what it seems ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Looks that way.   TO: Fire at will on the vessels trying to ram us. Destroy them only if you must.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::moves over to Jordan and puts on a smile:: OPS: It's good to see you awake.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  What do you sense Jordan?  ::gestures at the red alert flashing to emphasize the direness of the situation::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Sir, I’m getting a buildup of subspace particles from the moon. I am almost certain that there are more ships in there.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: You cant' defend against that kind of hate

TO_Tribble says:
::fires at the vessels trying to ram Pendragon::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO:  What have you done to me?

Host Pratek says:
*COM*: Pen:  Death smiles at us all - all we can do is smile back.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: It may be a bit close to make that judgment, Sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Do what you have to.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: I think they are determined to die.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
XO:  They may have telepathic or empathic abilities .. but I can't do that anymore ... ::sinks back down in the pillow::

TO_Tribble says:
::fires phasers at Rom. vessels::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
OPS: I've saved your life, Jordan. There was a cancerous growth surrounding your pre-frontal cortex, which I was forced to remove. I'm sorry but... the surgery may have removed your telepathic abilities either fully or partially, that will be determined in time.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: I suspect you are right.   FCO: Lieutenant Morgan, plot a course out of the system, maximum warp.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::taps his commbadge::  *CO*:  Jordan is conscious.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*XO*: Thank you, Commander. I'll be there as soon as I can.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  But you said that everything is not as it seems.  What's the mystery Jordan?  Please try and put it into words.

TO_Tribble says:
::still firing, trying to protect Pendragon and her brave crew::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: The two charging vessels take heavy damage.  One explodes into oblivion, shaking the Pen's shields mightily. The other vessel crashes into the shields and also explodes.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
~~~XO: She is not going to take this lightly.~~~ ::grabs Mikal's hand behind his back and wonders what this mystery is Mikal has mentioned::

TO_Tribble says:
::rolls off tactical station seat::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Damage report.

FCO_Morgan says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Sir!

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
XO:  I don't know, Mikal ... please leave me alone ... ::turns away from him::

TO_Tribble says:
::scrambles back::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gives Ashley's hand a squeeze::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Engage.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  I don't mean to badger you, but we only rescued two Jordan.  If there is anything we need to know...  it’s your duty.

TO_Tribble says:
::looks around to see if any bridge crew are hurt::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::feels the ship shake and plants her feet down to remain standing, returning the squeeze::

FCO_Morgan says:
::taps the panel quickly::

Host Pratek says:
ACTION: The three remaining vessels attempt to close the distance, but are no match for the Pendragon as she races off.

TO_Tribble says:
::checks weapons to make sure they are still on-line::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG. Servek> *CMO*: Servek to Doctor Yates. Sir, some of the Romulans have received minor injuries, however, they are being rather stubborn concerning treatment.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::turns back angrily:: XO:  I said I don't know!  You do it, you're the telepath!  ::turns away again::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: Reports of minor injuries, the ship is fine structurally

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::sighs as she taps her Combadge:: *Servek*: If they refuse treatment then there is nothing you can do, Lieutenant. Just remain there in case one of them decides that the pain is too much for them. Yates out.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tear rolls down his cheek::  OPS:  I'm sorry, Jordan.  ::lets go of her hand::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Mr. Toms, you have the conn. I'll be in Sickbay.   :: leaves via the turbolift ::

Host Hael says:
::whispers as the UT tries to catch up::  CMO: ...not.... seems...

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: No damage to weapons, Mr. Toms.

FCO_Morgan says:
CO: We seem to be increasing the distance, Sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::thinks crap, hands over SCI to another Science officer and moves to the middle chair::

Host Hael says:
ACTION: Reports of minor injuries throughout the ship.  The Romulans are getting restless as well.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hears the Hael::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: I believe we can outrun them captain

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
All: Status report please.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks down at Jordan and then back up toward Mikal:: ~~~XO: I don't even know what to say...~~~ ::turns as she hears the Hael and releases Mikal's hand:: ~~~XO: Do what you can for her, you're the best person for the job.~~~ ::moves over to the Hael:: Hael: Not as it seems?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  The Hael are trying to communicate with us.  They are trying to tell us something.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: arrives in Sickbay, finds Yates ::  CMO: How is she, Doctor?

Host Hael says:
CMO: The others came... the Oit betrayed us....

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> *Emergency Medical Teams*: All Medical Aid stations be prepared for any casualties.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::sees the CO come in::  OPS:  Albaron is here.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::nods in approval toward the CO as she watches the Hael:: Hael: Betrayed you? How?

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: No one hurt on the bridge, Sir.   Weapons 100% functional.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CSO: Engineering reports nothing of consequence

Host Hael says:
::struggling::  CMO: ....traded us for skyships....

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
All: Very good. TO: Continue as the CO ordered.

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: How are the shields?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> ::moves over to Jordan and begins a series of neural scans:: OPS: Commander, just so you are aware, I am performing a simple neural scan.

Host Hael says:
CMO: ...Oit were to protect us...

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: Captain, I believe you may want to hear this...

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Self:  Oh great ....

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CEO: Any way of upping the shield output to counter another ramming?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
TO: They're at 100%

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Hael: And you were left to be tortured?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks puzzled::  OPS:  What happened between you two?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks to his CMO expectantly ::

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Glad to hear that.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::smiles sadly:: XO:  Let's just say we agreed to disagree.  And I resigned ...

Host Hael says:
ACTION: Activity around Dussan IV's moon is increasing. A new engine signature is detected.

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Are you picking up a new engine signature, too?

TO_Tribble says:
::targets new engine signature::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> ::tries to ignore the conversation between the XO and OPS as she watches the results of the scan unfold::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Oh Jordan.  Don't lose this too.  You've lost enough already.  ::looks very sad::

FCO_Morgan says:
::checks their course and speed::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
XO:  I've lost it already, Mikal.  I ... ::falters::

Host Hael says:
CMO: ...the minerals from the moon poisoned us... they made us...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
TO: Confirmed

Host CO_Thraxis says:
Hael: Were you enslaved by the strangers?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  You've only lost a gift you were given temporarily.  This thing with Albaron... isn't it beyond time?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: They were betrayed by the Oit, Captain. It seems the Romulans provided them with flying machines. The Oit, from what I can gather, were suppose to protect the Hael.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
TO: Hold fire, make sure that they are following us before you do anything.

Host Hael says:
::turns to face the CO:: CO: The work... it poisoned us....

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
XO:  Funny thing is ... the only person I can sense here is Albaron ...

TO_Tribble says:
::sees mouse scurry past FCO's feet, and thinks it must have escaped from the science lab::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles::  OPS:  See?  Your relationship with him is beyond.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: nods, slowly ::  CMO: Not the first time we've seen the Romulans do this. Do what you can for our guests, Doctor.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
XO:  But I was talking about my career.  I was going to get thrown out of Starfleet anyway ... this way is easier ...

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Nurse Barns> OPS: Excuse the interruption, however, I just wanted you to know that your neural scans have come up rather well. Your pre-frontal cortex is fine now.

FCO_Morgan says:
::looks up:: CSO: No one has followed us, Sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: walks over to his wife's bed, takes her hand ::  OPS: Hello, sweetheart. How do you feel?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: Of course, Captain. ::pauses as she watches him move over to Jordan::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::winks at OPS as he steps away from the biobed::

Host Hael says:
CMO: The Oit... must be stopped... ::takes one final gasp for air:: ... trilithium....

Host Hael says:
ACTION: The second Hael crashes.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Lost and alone ... it's so quiet ....

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
FCO: Very good. TO: Stand us down to Yellow alert. Make sure that all stations are secured.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::takes in a deep breath:: Hael: You will be... Self: Damn!

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Aye, sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: You're not alone. I'm here with you. I'll always be here for you.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CEO: Check all stations for damage and prepare damage control teams to fix anything that is broken

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::turns his attention towards the CMO::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::watches as the Medical Technicians attempt to revive the Hael, knowing that it is another lost cause::

TO_Tribble says:
Bridge crew:: Stand down to yellow alert.  Secure all stations.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CSO: Nothings seriously broken. Conditions are normal

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::feels a tear roll down her cheek:: ~~~ CO:  I can still hear you ... but the others are blank ... ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Ashley!  ::grabs her by the shoulders::  What's going on?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::keeps her external emotions in check as she feels Mikal grab her:: XO: There is nothing else we could have done... ::motions to the other dead Hael on Biobed One::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
TO: Make sure that the security teams on those Romulans are paying close attention. In fact, double the guard.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: speaks aloud ::  OPS: I know. The surgery remove the mass from your brain may have damaged your telepathic center. It couldn't be helped.

FCO_Morgan says:
CSO: Orders, Sir? We seem to have lost them.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> ::moves over to the third Hael:: CMO: She is stable, Doctor, but I'm not sure for how long. We need to get her to a Starbase Medical Facility; we could do something there.

Host Hael says:
ACTION: Medical scans are now detecting trilithium poisoning in all three of the Hael.  The deceased are showing higher levels, but the third is not far behind.

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::smiles:: CO:  I know.  I could have stopped it if I had wanted to ...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::allocates teams for the minor damage that did occur::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: You knew about the mass?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
FCO: Very good. Bring us out of warp. We'll have to figure out what to do next.

FCO_Morgan says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  When I was here ... I was also on the scow.  I could see and hear everything around me .. including your conversation with Ashley ...

TO_Tribble says:
::comms TO Watkins guarding Romulans and asks for a report::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CO*: Sir, we have lost our pursuers. Where do you want us to be heading?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Combs: Have these two sent to the Morgue. We need to do something to stop the degradation of her... ::moves over to Biobed Three::

TO_Tribble says:
*Watkins*: Double the guard on the Romulan prisoners.  Don't let them get too comfortable, either.

FCO_Morgan says:
CSO: We're at 1/4 impulse, Sir.

Host Hael says:
ACTION: The Romulans captives have taken to banging on the walls of the cargo bay, rather loudly.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::nods to the FCO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::has a thoughts::  *CSO*:  Do we have any scans of the planet indicating how many Hael are left there?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CSO: The 

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::smiles:: CO:  So, yes, I knew.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I'm sorry, sweetheart. The surgery had to be done. It was that or lose you... and I couldn't bear the thought of losing you.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Combs: Trilithium poisoning! ::turns:: XO: Mikal, trilithium is what is causing all of this! ::grabs a hypospray and injects the female Hael::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CSO: The Romulans are acting up. Want me to stun the entire contingent?

TO_Tribble says:
<Watkins> *TO*: Ms. Tribble, the Romulans are banging on the walls and causing a commotion.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::checks with the SCI station to see if there are any scans::

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Seems like a good idea.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps back and watches the CMO get to work::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<LtJG. Servek> ::exits the Cargo Bay with her Medical Team, deciding not to deal with the Romulans any more::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  You should have seen what I saw, Albaron ... cages ... dead and dying Hael everywhere ... and there was nothing I could do to help them ...

TO_Tribble says:
*Watkins*: Tell them to quiet down, or you will stun them all.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CEO: Are there any ways to put forcefields up that will dull or eliminate the noise?

TO_Tribble says:
::more security guards arrive and draw weapons on the Romulans::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::feels a tear form in her eye and immediately wipes it away, continuing to monitor the Hael::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CSO: I can create a general dampening field that will work

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks over at OPS  with concern::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CO*: Evidence is telling us around 20,000 are left behind, but that’s a fairly vague number

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CEO: Do it.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I know. From the looks of the three we brought on board, there was little anyone could have done. Two of them have already died.

Host Hael says:
ACTION: The sight the security teams only makes matters worse.  The Romulans are becoming unbearable.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  We should have done more!

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::creates an acoustic dampening field around the cargo bay::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::walks up behind the CMO and puts his arms around her waist.  Whispers::  CMO:  If it can be done you can do it.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
TO: Make sure that the SEC team keeps a close watch now. We don't want them slacking while the dampening shield is up.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Let's not have this discussion just now, please, sweetheart? We can hash this out when you're well again.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::grabs Mikal's hands:: XO: There isn't anything else I can do, not at this stage. ::administers another pain reliever::

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Aye, Sir.

Host Hael says:
ACTION: The third Hael's lifesigns stabilize, but due to the physiology, has not improved yet.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CMO:  Waiting is the hardest part.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  What's going to happen to me now, Albaron.

TO_Tribble says:
*Watkins* Ensign Watkins, have everyone keep a sharp lookout on those Romulans, and let me know of any changes.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::presses his face into the CMO's hair::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::raises an eyebrow as she watches the Hael's lifesigns begin to stabilize, for now anyway. She closes her eyes for a moment:: ~~~XO: I should have done more for them...~~~

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
TO: Stand down Yellow alert. All; You did good work people. I’m sure the CO is proud, I know I am.

TO_Tribble says:
CSO: Stand down yellow alert, Aye.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nuzzles the CMO's neck::  CMO:  You did everything you could.  And maybe we're not finished helping their people yet.

TO_Tribble says:
::makes it so::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
XO: If they remain in their current living conditions they'll die from the trilithium exposure... much sooner than later.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::lightly kisses the back of the CMO's neck::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CSO*: Proceed back to Starbase 14 at high warp. We have a diplomatic time bomb in our cargo bay.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
*CO*: Aye sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: There will undoubtedly be an inquiry... into my actions, as well as yours.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
FCO: Set course SB 14, warp 6.

FCO_Morgan says:
::smiles at the CSO's words::

FCO_Morgan says:
CSO: Aye, Sir. Warp 6 at your mark.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::smiles::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
FCO: Engage.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I will make myself available for court martial ...

Host Hael says:
ACTION: A high priority comm is coming in from SFC, addressed to the CO.

FCO_Morgan says:
::taps a few buttons and feels the ship jump to warp::

Host Hael says:
