Host Coot says:
Last time on the U.S.S. Pendragon . . .

Host Coot says:
The Crew continued shore leave dealing with the consequences at hand. Most found refuge and resumed anew. However, favor did not fall on all of the Crew.

Host Coot says:
The FCO's disappearance went unnoticed until an adversary forgotten came along to collect a debt. More so, an apparent attack on the Pendragon in orbit has left untold damage.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hails the attacking ship::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: We've got breaches on Decks 14, 15, and 16, port nacelle is down to 30 %

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::lying in his bed, in his quarters, reading a recent report::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: We have a Romulan vessel on sensors

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Ship wide*:  All senior officers report to the bridge!

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She does not show any indication of emotion as she picks up a hypospray, loads it with a phial, and injects the Counselor:: CNS: It will take several hours for the effects to ware off. However, your mind should begin to clear momentarily.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The comm pops to life. The ugly, hateful face of Garshon appears on screen. He is snacking on a roasted bird of some sort.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'll take tactical! :: heads for the station::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Did the Romulans fire on us?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the view screen::  COM:  Garshon:  Why are you attacking us and what have you done with Rochelle?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She hears the comm and nods toward the Doctor:: Servek: Well.. I'm needed on the Bridge of this boat! ::She smiles and makes her way out of Sickbay toward the Turbo Lift::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Thank you, Commander.   :: turns to the screen ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Confirmed. They fired on us without provocation

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::locks phasers and torpedoes on target::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Dawson enters the Turbo Lift and orders it to the Bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Red alert. Target their engines and weapons array.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::looks through very blurry eyes and is still very groggy::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::hears ship wide comms, hopes his second is prepared for whatever is going on::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~::tries to sense the FCO::~~~

Host Garshon says:
COMM: XO: My dear, Cmdr. I have done nothing of the sort. Oh, and the accidental disruptor fire.... my apologies.  ::licks his finger and tears into a drumstick::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Once the Turbo Lift reaches the Bridge, the Counselor steps off of it and makes her way toward the command ring. Jamie stumbles slightly before she finally takes a seat::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
COM:  Garshon:  I do not understand how you stay in business operating this way!  ::stands back to let the CO take the comm::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM* Garshon: We have indications that you are holding a member of my crew. I demand that you release her immediately.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She recognizes the man on the screen and begins to receive flashbacks of the Away Mission that led to her reprimand::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Garshon drops a hunk on meat and disappears off-screen.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::tries to get up but falls back as her balance is not good yet::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::weakly cries out:: WindFire: Help me please.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
<SO_Lt_Nakimi>::arrives on bridge, heads to SCI1 and takes over::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She watches the screen carefully, trying to focus on the single image. The hypospray had not fully kicked in as of yet::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Rochelle is nearby but her consciousness is altered.

Host Garshon says:
@ ACTION: There is no response from WindFire. The FCO cannot ~~~~sense~~~~ WindFire either.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
SO:  Scan the ship for Betazoid life signs.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sees the TO arrive and hands the console over::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Garshon reappears on screen.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::not able to sense her companion and not hearing from him makes her angry::

TO_Tribble says:
Jordan: Anything to report?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@Garshon: You Klingon targ what have you done to my companion bird?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks up at the screen and mutters a rude word::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She crosses her legs as the man appears back on the screen. She cringes a bit as her eyes begin to refocus on his horrid physical appearance::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::scans for signs of Wildfire, knowing he won't be far from Rochelle::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
<SO_Lt_Nakimi>XO: Aye sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
TO:  Weapons are armed and locked.  Don't miss.  ::grins::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*COM* Garshon: Release Lt. Rochelle, or we will fire on your vessel.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
<SO_Lt_Nakimi>::starts running scans::

TO_Tribble says:
Jordan: Thanks.  ::takes over weapons::

Host Garshon says:
COMM: XO/CO: I'm sorry... it's just that this bird is so damned tasty....  ::looks down:: Ooops. I dropped some.  ::reaches down::  You were saying?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks back at Jordan::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at Mikal and steps down to the CO's side::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  Get out of site of the view screen.  Don't let him see you.~~~  ::worried::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The Romulan vessel opens fire once again.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::tries to find something to hold onto::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::feels the ship fire and wonders who he is firing at::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::reinforces the shields:: All: Incoming

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She feels the ship shake and her stomach begins to turn. Jamie nearly falls out of her chair::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Return fire!  

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::feels the ship jump. Wonders what’s going on, but sticks to his reading::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Firing.  ::fires::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Captain...I can't confirm this, but it looks like Garshon was eating Rochelle's bird.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::Is flung out of sight of the view screen::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::winces::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
<SO_eLt_Nakimi>XO: I've got some Betazoid life signs.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She cannot help but smirk at Jose's comment::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Perhaps. I am more concerned with Lt. Rochelle herself.   SO: Aboard the Romulan vessel?

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The two vessels trade fire, each hitting their mark. No damage to Garshon's vessel. The Pendragon is rocked hard, affected by the crippled decks.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
SO:  Keep monitoring her.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  We have to get a transport through those shields.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: grabs the arm on the command chair ::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::closes her eyes:: ~~~FCO:  Maria? ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
XO: Working on it

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
<SO_Lt_Nakimi>XO: I sir.

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The FCO is dragged into view.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::panics as she realizes that she has been shot full of neural inhibitors to prevent telepathic communication::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::tries to fight weakly and can't::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::opens her eyes:: XO:  I cannot sense her.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Find a way to beam her off that ship, Jose.

TO_Tribble says:
::firing photon torpedoes::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Jordan:  Altered consciousness.  Drugged maybe.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
SO:  Send the biosigns to sickbay for analysis.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: I'm trying. I can't get a lock from this distance. Maybe if we were closer

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie feels her stomach continue to twist, turn, flip, and flop in all different directions as the ship is hit by weapons fire. She says nothing, but just keeps her mouth shut in hopes to keep things in::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::tears flood her eyes making it even harder to see::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  How about from a shuttle?

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Do you show any signs of any weakened areas of that ship?

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Garshon feeds some of the meal to the FCO, who eats willingly.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sits up:: CO:  I'll go.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::has no clue as to what she is eating but it does taste good::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
XO: Perhaps. TO: I'd target the weak spot near their dorsal ventral array

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS, XO: No. A shuttle would be too vulnerable.  FCO: Move us closer.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CEO:  Thanks.  ::heads to the turbo lift::

TO_Tribble says:
::nods and targets the weak spot::

Host Garshon says:
ACITON: The Romulan vessel fires once again. Then jumps to warp.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
<SO_Lt_Nakimi>::sends off the info to sickbay::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Sir they have gone to warp sir.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Pursuit course.

TO_Tribble says:
FCO: Toward their dorsal ventral array, if convenient.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 10

Host CO_Thraxis says:
XO: Mikal, I need you here.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Understood sir pursuit course.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::turns and runs for the lift chasing the XO::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is gone::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She watches as Luchena leaves followed by Jordan. They really were quite a handful::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: You, too, Jordan.   *XO*: Commander Luchena, I have not authorized a shuttle departure. Please return to the bridge.

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Are they weakened sufficiently to affect their travel at warp speed?

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Maybe you should tie a bell to him

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: I've given it some thought.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
TO: Uncertain, but I doubt it

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
Self: Mentally instable. ::She just shakes her head, the hypospray beginning to kick in::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  This is my problem Captain.  Let me take care of it.  ::emerges on Deck 10 and heads to the shuttle bay::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO:  Mikal?  What are you doing? ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  Taking her back.~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*XO*: I've given you an order, Mikal, Return to the bridge at once.

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Any damage to our shields, Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Up yours, Captain.  ::enters the shuttle bay::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO:  They've gone to warp, Mikal.  She's gone for now.  But I do have an idea .... ~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
TO: Shields are holding

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Establish a security lockout on the shuttle bay doors, Jose.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Aye

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stops dead::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She raises an eyebrow at Luchena's response::

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Good.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::locks down the shuttle bay::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*SEC*: Security, locate and detain Commander Luchena. Probable location: main shuttle bay.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wheels around and smashes his fist into a bulkhead::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::can't believe this is happening and where is her companion::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  No, Captain ... I believe he will not go.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
CO:  Let me talk to him.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I know he's not going.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::moves onto his next report, but can't get his head into it. puts the report down and picks up his PADD, looking at what he has written.::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::clutches his hand::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::tries again to get up and makes it to her knees before falling again::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: As the Pendragon give chase, the port nacelle is beginning to shear itself from the ship. Long-range sensors detect a minefield ahead, most likely dropped by Garshon.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  Are we in pursuit?~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: When we've got Rochelle back, you can talk his ear off. Right now, I need you here.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She turns her gaze toward the side console, watching the sensor readings::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Sensors indicate a minefield ahead, Sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO:  Yes, Mikal, we are.  Where are you?~~~

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Captain, we're going to lose the port nacelle if we continue this pursuit

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  On my way to sickbay.  I think I broke my hand.~~~

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::taps a few adjustments in, then puts it down to::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Evasive. Take us around that field.   CEO: How long to repair?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::smiles:: ~~~ XO:  I'll meet you there. ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::enters a turbo lift::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Garshon's vessel drops out of warp and wheels around, opening fire on the minefield, attempting to detonate it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: we cant' do it while we're in flight at all.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Understood sir plotting a course around the minefield.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::gets slowly to his feet and moves over to his mirror, looking at the face he sees and wondering at it::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: mutters ::  Self:  Dammit.  

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 2

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Full stop.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She raises an eyebrow at her sensor readings. This would not be a good day to die...::

TO_Tribble says:
::studies the effect of Garshon's weapons on the minefield::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::quietly enters the TL while the others are busy ... orders it to Deck 2::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Full stop sir in ten seconds.  ::brings the engines down and into reverse to stop all forward motion::

TO_Tribble says:
::ready at weapons, if needed::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: We need to be back in flight ASAP, Jose. Make it quick.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges on Deck 2 and heads for the CSO's quarters::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: A string of mines detonates at the far end of the field, a chain reaction has begun and is quickly advancing on the Pendragon. Garshon's vessel disappears from sensors amid all the explosions.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: I'm on it

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Full stop sir.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::rings the chime::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Maximum power to forward shields.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::orders a team to the port nacelle, telling them to patch it up as soon as they can::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::looks over his quarters, looking at the different moments of his life::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> ::grabs her console::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye ::makes it so::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: sits, looks around... where did Jordan vanish to? ::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
Door: Who’s there?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::exits the TL and heads down the corridor::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  It's me Edward.  Please let me in.  No one will think of looking for me in there.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She notices the Thraxis woman has also left the Bridge::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The violent tidal wave of explosions is racing towards the Pendragon, picking up speed and intensity as it approaches. Impact in 20 seconds.

TO_Tribble says:
::braces for impact::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Impact with the wave in 20 seconds sir.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::stops ... thinks "where would he go"::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Back us off at half impulse.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Backing us off 1/2 impulse sir.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: Why are they looking for you?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> :: begins to back the Pen up from the approaching wave coming at them keeping her turned into the wave to be safe::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  I told the Captain...  Just let me in, will you?

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Tactical sensors pick up Garshon's vessel briefly on aft sensors.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Sickbay*:  Jordan Thraxis to Sickbay.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
Door: Open

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> *Thraxis*: Sickbay here.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  By any chance is Cmdr Luchena there?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stumbles in::  CSO:  Crap.  This is all my fault.  Do you have any idea what's going on?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> *Thraxis*: Negative, Commander. Does he have a medical condition I should be aware of?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Servek*:  No.  : :sighs:: Thanks Lt.  Thraxis out.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She raises an eyebrow as the comm is cut::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Repairs to the nacelle are nearly complete. I'd suggest caution in how hard you push her

Jordan_Thraxis says:
*Computer*:  Computer, location of Cmdr Luchena?

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: Look at me. Do you think I’ve been out of here in the last few days? I haven' the faintest what’s going on... and frankly, I don't care!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  What's going on with you?  ::concerned::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Thank you, Jose.   TO: Do we have any indication of the Romulan vessel's current location?

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The explosions reach the Pendragon, engulfing her in a wave of fury. Violent green explosions are seen out of every window. Sensors are overloaded and briefly go blank.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::falls::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::Jamie falls out of her chair onto the deck face down::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::as she is unsecured in a corridor is flung against the wall ... hard ... ::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle>  ::is tossed out of her chair::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::holds on::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::scrambles to his feet::  CSO:  Edward.  Talk to me.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: hits the deck hard, struggles to get back into the command chair ::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: I'm tired Mikal, so very tired of this crap! I've lost friends and family for this job.

TO_Tribble says:
::sees varying shades of green.  Then, is thrown from her chair::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: As the explosions clear, disruptor fire tears at the Pendragon.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
::She pulls herself back up into her chair::

TO_Tribble says:
::struggles to get back to weapons::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Why do you do it?  Why did you stay?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~:: radiates pain :: ~~~

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::through watery eyes she sees the Pendragon and that she is being fired on::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Report!

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Sensor return to operational, but are having trouble sorting it all out.

TO_Tribble says:
::regains chair:: CO: Fire, Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::winces::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: Who says I will be?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@Garshon: You murdering son of a dog leave them alone!!!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: If you have a lock on the Romulan, absolutely!

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  What has kept you here this long?  What has changed?

TO_Tribble says:
::Fires full spread of torpedoes::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: We're got the hull breeches still, sensors will be spotty at best, shields are down to 43%, and weapons are operational

TO_Tribble says:
::rakes the Romulan vessel with phasers, especially on the weakened area::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: Necessity. Time.

Host Garshon says:
@ FCO: My dear. If you would have come along nicely the first time I asked, none of this would be necessary.  ::jabs her in the shoulder with the fork he was using::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  What do you plan to do, assuming we survive all this?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Keep scanning for Rochelle. If you get a lock, beam her back at once.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Will do

TO_Tribble says:
::concentrates fire on their dorsal ventral array::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::winces in pain:: Garshon: I did but they pulled me back and that is no good reason for trying to blow them up.

Host Garshon says:
@ ACTION: The FCO now has a fork shoved into her shoulder, blood is trickling from the entrance wound.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::continues to scan for Rochelle::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: Leave.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
:: gingerly gets up ... nursing several broken bones ... stumbles down the corridor::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods::  CSO:  And go where?

Host Garshon says:
@ FCO: Everyone settles their debt with Garshon in time. ::pauses::  Your day is now.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: Away. Who cares where?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@Garshon: You have me leave them alone.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  I do.

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Both vessels continue to fire upon one another, each taking significant damage. The Pen is still slightly worse off.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Shields are down to 26%

TO_Tribble says:
::concentrates fire on the other ship's weapons::

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: My point exactly.

Host Garshon says:
@ FCO: Do you not understand? That thief stole what was mine and replaced it with scraps I could have gotten for a song.  ::throws hit plate at her, shattering it against the wall above her::  No! He must die for his crimes.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  We were friends once, Edward.  ::looks at him seriously::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@Garshon: What he did has no bearing on this.  You have what you wanted!!! You have me and you have my companion now let them live and I will stay!!

Host CO_Thraxis says:
TO: Maintain firing rate!   CEO: Do we have a lock on Rochelle yet?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::still looking for the XO ... ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Not yet.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Aye.  Firing as fast as possible.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::narrows the annular confinement beam in an attempt to lock onto Rochelle::

Host Garshon says:
@ FCO: Your companion? ::licks his fingers:: We call them lunch around here.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: Things change. Mikal, and that was one of them. The only people that care what happens to me are SF, and those so associated.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::eyes go wide::

TO_Tribble says:
CEO: Any weakened areas?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@::horror sets in as she realizes that she may have eaten part of her companion and gets very sick::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Captain, I have a partial lock on Rochelle

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::somehow finds herself near Sickbay.  Stumbles in the door::

Host Garshon says:
@ACTION: Garshon picks up a hunk of meat from the floor and forces it into the FCO's mouth, causing her to choke and cough on it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
TO: Scanning now

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
@Garshon: You foul miserable lo-be-Vos ( coward in Klingon) How....::chokes and coughs::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  I care what happens to you.  You'd be my f... Captain if you hadn't turned down all those promotions.  ::frustrated::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Lock on and beam her back.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: I'll give it my best shot. ::attempts to beam Rochelle back to the Pendragon::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The vessels continue to fire on each other.  Shields have failed on both vessels.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: And have more blood on my hands?

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Our shields are down, Sir.

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Rochelle materializes in the Transporter Room.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Evasive.   TO: Continue firing.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::screams in anguish::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  Blood on your hands?  I've never known you to be a coward.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Executing evasives now sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: We've got her!

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Weapons and propulsion fail on the Pendragon as well. The transport knocked everything off-line.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks like she's been in a prize fight:: Servek:  Doc?  You here?

TO_Tribble says:
::fires until weapons give out::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::feels the ship powering down::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Get us out of here!

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::screams:: ALL: You murdering bastard you killed my companion and made me eat him.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She steps out of her office:: Thraxis: May I assist you, Commander?

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::looks over at her:: Servek:  What do you think?

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She finally notices the woman's injuries:: Thraxis: What happened to you? ::She motions to Biobed 1::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Already on it sir.  ::executes the preplanned escape vectors and puts the Pen on a return course away from the fire zone best possible speed::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Captain, the Romulan ship is showing signs of a warp core overload. I suggest we move to a safe distance, we have thrusters only.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Servek:  I had an argument with a wall ...

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::breaks down crying hysterically::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Garshon's vessel appears crippled as well and is drifting slightly away from the Pendragon.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO Cowardice has nothing, NOTHING, to do with it. There are only so many nightmares one man can have, Mikal.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> Thraxis: That would be impossible, seeing that a wall does not have the capacity for speech. ::She begins to scan the woman::

TO_Tribble says:
::smiles in grim delight at Damien’s words::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  You think those nightmares will go away if you leave here?  They won't.

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The Pendragon crawls away, doing its best with maneuvering thrusters.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Take us away from the Romulan.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
<FCO Ariel Rochelle> CO: Trying my best sir under the circumstances with thrusters only.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Servek:  Let's just say I moved and it didn't .. ::winces::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::in a heap crying and shaking in rage at what Garshon has done::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: At this speed, and our proximity to the Romulan ship, we will be caught in the explosion

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> Thraxis: Which you should have easily known would have been the case. ::She takes out a hypospray and injects Jordan:: Thraxis: You have fractured your wrist and bruised several ribs.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Shields?

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: No they wont. But they wont get added to on a weekly basis either. Maybe distance and time might numb them some.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
Servek:  Just patch me up, Doc.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: Nominal. We took a heavy beating. I'm going to try and cold start the warp core. With your permission of course

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
<TRChief>::looks at the collapsed FCO and transports her to sickbay::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Do it.

TO_Tribble says:
CO: Weapons are powering up on Garshon's vessel.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> Thraxis: This will take more than just patchwork, Commander. ::She shakes her head and begins treating her::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Maintain maximum speed away from the Romulan.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochelle says:
::arrives in sickbay on the floor::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::gives up::  CSO:  All right.  Do what you have to do, Edward.  But don't delude yourself that no one in the universe cares.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::programs a series of commands to cold start the warp core, in constant communication with main engineering::

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::sees the FCO materialize:: FCO:  Maria!

TO_Tribble says:
CO: It may be a self-destruct, though.... since he has no means to launch them.

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Medical Teams> ::Place the FCO on a Biobed and begin to treat her::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::hits the 'go' button on the warp core::

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: Garshon's vessel is attempting to lock onto the Pendragon with a tractor beam. It is effective enough to interfere with the Pendragon's escape.

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
XO: I never said no one cares. Only that those who do are associated with the problem.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::tries to get up off the bed::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CSO:  I'm sorry Edward.  ::turns and leaves::

TO_Tribble says:
::looks to see if weapons power has returned::

CNS_LtJG_Dawson says:
<Lt. Servek> ::She pushes OPS back onto the Biobed:: Thraxis: She will be taken care of, Commander. Relax.

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The core sputters and flickers, briefly powering up all systems before going out once again.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
::relaxes slightly:: ~~~XO: She's here, Mikal .. ~~~

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::emerges into the corridor, leans against the wall and takes a deep breath::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Are we clear of the Romulan's blast radius?

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochell says:
Out loud: You murdering bastard you killed my companion.

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
~~~Jordan:  How is she?~~~

CSO_Cmdr_toms says:
::looks over as the XO leaves, then heads back to his bed, picks up the PADD, and presses send.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
CO: We might just make it. We had warp for a few seconds. Trying again.

Jordan_Thraxis says:
~~~ XO:  Not good ... ~~~ ::winces::

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochell says:
::screams in rage:: Out loud: Garshon I will kill you for this I swear.

FCO_Lt_Maria_Rochell says:
::faints from the anger and pain::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes the power issues and heads for the hatch to the bridge::

TO_Tribble says:
CO: If we decompress the shuttle bay, that may kick us out of its way, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Damein says:
::adjusts the intermix ratio and tries again to bring the warp engines on line::

XO_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::climbs onto the bridge::  CO:  I'm sorry, Captain.

Host Garshon says:
ACTION: The warp core powers up just as Garshon's vessel explodes. The blast engulfs the Pendragon before she is clear.      All goes black.

Host Garshon says:
