Host Dr_Witherson says:
All:  This is Tag.  Each ship will be required to Tag the other ship with three simulated torpedo strikes.  The Torpedoes are simulated, so therefore a link is established between each ships targeting systems.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Listens to Dr. Witherson::
Host Dr_Witherson says:
All: The only weapon you will use for this test is the simulated torpedoes.  Anything else is fair game.  The test will last for 30 minutes, that should be enough for six strikes.
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Checks to make sure this is broadcast through the ship, nods to herself when she sees it is::
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks out of his office and leaves someone in charge with his orders::
Host Dr_Witherson says:
All: Since this is tag, the Surprise will be "it" first.  The Sharikahr has three minute countdown before the Surprise pursues.  That is enough time to get to this systems asteroid belt, or local Gas Cloud at Warp One.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Suggestions Knight?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Start mapping both engagement areas.  Let me know if you find anything useful.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Asteroids or gas cloud?
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CSO: That would interfere our own scanners also.....
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: They should be able to help.  The bigger the better, but remember, they'll interfere with our sensors as well.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise primes its impulse boosters, which glow dark red, turning slowly tracking the Sharikahr's course.

::tracking the surprise approach::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: When the Surprise's sensor lose the Sharikahr, they jump to Warp Three and overshoot, the Belt before making a quick u-turn and dropping to full impulse again, reacquiring the Sharikahr hiding behind an asteroid.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO/CTO: When the Surprise gets here, go to red alert

XO: suggest we "dive" sir
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Captain, we've got to make it into the more confined spaces.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Torpedoes all miss the Sharikahr as they were aimed with speed in mind, not targeting.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Agreed Cmdr.  
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: evasive maneuvers :: XO: Aye sir.........  :: taps in the basic evasive maneuver pattern ::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::sits down at the station::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Set course for a cluster of the smaller asteroids first.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the Sharikahr moves at warp, it clips a 6-meter asteroid, which damages shields on the port side.
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::works on helping to get a target lock on the Surprise, if they need it::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
<hear>
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Once the Surprise exits the Asteroid field, they head out along the belt at Warp One.. dropping warp right in front of the Sharikahr, and lay down suppression fire in the Sharikahr's path
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Never mind Ens.  Just don't do that again ::Smiles::
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:

FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: pulls the Shari out of the way, as much as possible ::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr's view screen flashes red, indicated a simulated torpedo strike from above.  She's It now.
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO: I forgot sir  :: canceling program::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CIV: Just do it. They might be monitoring our frequencies.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO/XO: We've been hit, sirs.
Host CO_Fowler says:
All: Our turn, People.  Lets show them a trick or two
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO: I'm sorry Ma'am....It wasn’t such a good idea after all....
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Plot us the fastest course out of the field and intercept the Surprise.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: lays in pursue course after the Surprise :: CO: Pursue course laid in, sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Ready torpedoes.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: We didn't know until we tried, Thorne
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise, does a 90-degree pivot and engages Warp Four for the Gas Cloud, immediately becoming lost on the Sharikahr's sensors as she enters the cloud.
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
::calls down to WB getting the butts in gear::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: aye sir torpedoes loaded and warm
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am ::grins just a little::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Aye...  :: pulls out a bit, and once clear of the asteroid belt...  hits warp…  and tries to intercept the Surprise ::
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO:  I lost her Cmdr, in the cloud.
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::turns back to his station and works on anything to pick up the Surprise... perhaps gas displacement, scans for the way the gasses in the cloud are being displaced, looking for a wake::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: hovers above where the Surprise disappeared ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: It's like pea soup in there.  Sensors aren't penetrating far.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: that's ok...keep scanning...her warp field should disturb that cloud some way
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Commander, prepare to adjust power distributions to the nacelles.
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
::continues scanning the cloud with targeting computer::
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO:  I see an entrance wake sir  but that’s all
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
TO: Is there a possibility that we can follow it?
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Extend the Deflector's range beyond our bow, Commander. Clear some of it out.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Do you have anything.....well it's better than nothing...plot possible vectors from that point
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Suggestions Jyg’Lo?  We need to be sneaky here
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: Sir, detecting the Surprise's wake in the gas cloud, heading straight for the center... readings fade as the scans go deeper, eventually losing the signal.
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
FCO: Go straight in, the wake is in a straight line.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: They're as blind as we are, Captain. We have to make them come to us.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Will do sir.  ::taps a few buttons::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr dives into the cloud following the Surprise's wake.  As then enter the cloud, a distinct Ping can be heard overall sensor readouts.
Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Slow to one-quarter impulse Ens.  No sense advertising where we are
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: How is the crew doing?
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
::starts a wide scan looking for anything different::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: nods as her fingers furiously taps on the console :: CO: Aye..  Dropping to one-quarter impulse.
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Everything is ok so far.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I'm picking up... something.  It could be the Surprise.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: takes her hands and wipes the sweat on her uniform before putting them back on the console.  ::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: looks up at the screen ::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Route that data to Tactical.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CMO: Thank you Doctor, let me know if that changes.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: it could be our targeting link with the Surprise...if we're close enough
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: On its way.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: thinks the gas has a pretty pink color... ugh..  she hates pink ::
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
XO: Yes sir.
Host CO_Fowler says:
All: I want every sensor working.  All kinds.  Look for any trace at all.  
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Anything definite yet?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Negative.  It could be a buoy for all I know.
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO: I suggest go ahead and fire
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Keep an eye out around us Toir...search for any other energy anomalies
Host CO_Fowler says:
::Activates the controls on the arm of the chair, looking for anything that might be the Surprise::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Launch a probe. Adjust course to 35-degrees along our starboard side.

XO/CO: Could this be a decoy?  The Surprise might be elsewhere.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Let's make sure .... I want to hit them the first time ::grins::
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO: the energy is not moving, it could be trick
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A small metal object with a blinking light appears in front of the Sharikahr from the cloud.
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: It's not moving whatever it is.  Launching the probe sir.
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: Sir, suggest we have the probe run quiet for a distance, then emit signatures and electronic "noise" similar to the Sharikahr?
CMO_Ens_Leonard says:
::looks at the viewscreen::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir. we've got company straight ahead
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: I suggest we halt position.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:

TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO:  A wake behind the buoy, Sir. Follow it
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: It's a buoy......wake behind it ....shall we pursue?
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO: it's leading out of the cloud.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Could we try and open a channel 1 and hail them, maybe we could triangulate from that?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: There's another wake leading out of the nebular.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: They wouldn't answer.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Keep it locked Toir
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Belay that.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Send the probe along that vector.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye Sir.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: It could be another feint...
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO:  Yes sir, Tracking it as we speak.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: True
FCO_Ens_Fa says:

Host CO_Fowler says:
Self: Yes!
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: hits warp and gets out of the cloud ::  CO: Where to next, captain?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Want me to launch that probe?
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: Suggest we head further in to the cloud.... use his own tactics against him
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Flank speed. Course 124, mark 000.
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::slightly smiles in satisfaction::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Were you able to modify the probe as a decoy?
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Keep all sensors trained towards our last strike
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CTO: They're still close.  There's a good chance they'd be able to follow us through.
Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: We could send out a probe to make a second trail through the cloud
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Agreed Captain.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Starboard Bussard collector overloads as too much matter collides with it when the ship hits warp.
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO" aye sir  ::  keeps the sensors on the last strike zone::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: It's as good as it is gonna get without a lot more time.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: Set the probe to move to our Port side at 1-quarter impulse FCO: When its launched goes Starboard
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: engages at impulse speed... at the course dictated by the XO ::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CO: Yes, ma'am..
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
CSO: Say when.
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
XO: Perhaps we should enter a gray mode of our own, wait for the Surprise to pass following the probe?
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Yes ma'am.  Launching now.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: She's on the move again.....
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: Captain, our Starboard Bussard collector is overloaded because we went warp.....
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO: she's moving sir
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: waits for the probe to be clear from the Shari..  and the pilots the ship to the right ::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Adjust course to keep us ahead of it.  Do not jump to warp.
Host CO_Fowler says:
CEO: Jax, get a team on it
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
I have her moving.....there's ionization on her hull from our impact....but I would be we have the same ionization tag
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
CO: They're on their way.. ::taps consoles::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: Understood.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise Launches a torpedo..., which is following you.  Obviously using your ionization as a target.
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::works on cycling the shields to dissipate the ionization::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::watches the screen on his own console, tapping in time::
Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO/FCO: Evasive
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO: Shut down the shields to lose the torpedo.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Will our SIF survive impact with the gasses?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Torpedo follows the Sharikahr and hits her in the butt.  The Viewscreen flashes red.  The Sharikahr is it.
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: engages Evasive beta standard ::
CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: Too late to know now.
Host CO_Fowler says:
All: I’m not happy people. Now tag the Surprise
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise acknowledges by hit by moving out of the Cloud, and punching it to Warp Three.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
::Self: darn::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Way too late...
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Arm six of the simulated torps.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: Are we safe to jump to warp?
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: follows the Surprise out of the cloud ::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir...torps armed
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
:keeping the lock on the surprise::
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise heads away from the Cloud at Warp 3, at an angle perpendicular with the plane of the solar system.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::makes a full scan of the Surprise::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Start scanning ahead. See if there's anything out there that they know about that we don't.
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr gains on the Surprise, almost within torpedo range.  The Surprise seems unaware of the Sharikahr.  Must be due to the blind spot their tetryon warp drive creates behind them.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Transfer targeting to my console..
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::scans surrounding area for anything other than space::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CEO: How are the systems holding up?
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise, finally acknowledging the Sharikahr's presence behind them does an Yeager Loop at Warp Three, coming down behind the Sharikahr tagging them almost immediately with a torpedo strike.  The Sharikahr's viewscreen flashes red, indicating a strike.
CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
XO: They're running as best as it could be
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We've been hit, sir.......
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::startled by the sudden strike on the ship::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: Sir they're great at high-speed maneuvers but maybe we can use our lesser speed to advantage
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise high tails it backs to the testing station at Warp five.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: She's hit Warp Five and is heading back
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::curses under his breath and looks at the captain::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Maximum warp.
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Full spread, on my mark.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:

XO: Aye!  :: hits the max warp ::
Host CO-Fowler says:
::Nods a the CEO::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Get them ready Toir
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr begins to rumble as it nears the Surprise as her tetryon wake interferes with the Sharikahr preventing her from getting to warp nine
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
::signals WB::  CTO: ready sir
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: CTO: Fire, Commander.  Fire now!
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
XO: sir we're in torpedo range
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise suddenly veers away from the Sharikahr avoiding each torpedo
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::tries to adjust the shields to compensate for the wake::
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
XO: We can't reach warp nine, sir...  it's the tetryon wake.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO/XO: Suggest bracketing her three in front and one to each side
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise is now directly aft of the Sharikahr
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Only one needs to strike, Commander. Fire.
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO/XO: We can use aft torpedoes
FCO_Ens_Fa says:
:: maintains the highest speed possible ::
Host CO-Fowler says:
CTO: Do it Thorne
TO_Ltjg_Naug says:
CTO: Ready sir at will
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
CO: Yes ma'am....::fires aft strike at Surprise::
CTO_Lt_Cmdr_Knight says:
TO: Thank you Toir
Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Surprise cannot avoid the aft spread, and the viewscreen flashes green.  And then Blue as Time is elapsed for the test.
CIV_LtCmdr_Maylen says:
::sits back and sighs slightly::
XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
