Host Gilles says:
An Ion Storm rages through the system. Sensors readings have been diminishing gradually. The Sharikahr, the USS Ottawa and the USS Tain Inman are riding the storm now that the initial shock has passed.

Host Gilles says:
Contact has been lost with the USS Tal-War, USS Iroquois and USS Coyote due to ionic interference. Contact as also been lost with the four Nacandarian vessels in orbit of the only planet in the binary system. 

Host Gilles says:
Sensor readings seem to indicate the ion storm's intensity will begin to drop in 15-20 minutes. 

Host Gilles says:

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::on the bridge sitting on her hover chair::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::In her chair on the Bridge reading over a few reports::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: on the bridge at the tactical station ::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::steps out of the turbo lift as the doors open, enters the bridge and returns to her station::

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
::under a runabout working on the tractor emitters, yelling at his staff members (sometimes in Bajoran when they don't want to hear what he's saying anyway)::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The rocking from the ion storm is consistent and becomes routine to the crew.

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::forces herself to smile as she sits, avoiding the rocking as best as she can.  She still manages to chuckle despite her best efforts not to.::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::At her station, frantically trying to raise the other ships and get clear readings.::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks around at everyone:: ALL: How are your tasks coming?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Captain, this storm is still howling mad out there.  Communications are down.  Those ships around the planet are no longer on sensors.  This interference is causing us to be sitting ducks.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::at the aux console on the bridge:: CO: Working on rescue and recovery simulations now, ma'am.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Wouldn't any ship near us be affected as we are?

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
XO:  Well enough Ma'am.  I think I should have something workable as the Captain requested shortly.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to the CIV::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Ours at least ma'am.  However, who knows if the Nacadarians have advanced their technology to deal with these things.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CNS: Good Counselor. Be prepared to send either message at a moments notice.

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
::trying to find the time to strengthen the shield emitters some as well::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
XO:  Aye Ma'am.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: We're flying blind. I'm trying to cut through the interference

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::continues to work on phrasing her messages diligently::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Adjust our position periodically and randomly then.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
:: works with the useless sensors::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Is grateful the CSO concurs with the situation assessment.::  CSO: How are you doing sir?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Aye, I just hope I don't hit anything in the process.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
FCO: I'm better. ::notices the flight control officers nails:: Stick with nail clippers okay? No nail files on the bridge.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Sensor readings begin to show a decrease in the ion storm’s intensity.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Commander, is there any way that we may be able to increase sensor power so they could work or is it a lost cause?

Host OCO_Lane says:
@::hangs on to her chair and tries to remain seated:: All: Find a hole somewhere and smooth this ride out will ya? My backside won't say down in this mess.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: ETA on when you will be ready?

MO_Breaker says:
::looks around the busy sickbay,  Several nurses handing out motion sickness treatments.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: It's a lost cause with the ion storm. The only thing to do is wait until it passes. ::grins:: Not that is will stop me from trying

TCO_Captain_Potts says:
@::Raps his fingers on the chair arm, each a distinct, heavy thud:: Self: When will this be over?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Smiles:: CSO: Well lets hope it passes soon then.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Turns to face the CSO.:: CSO: Sir?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: The modifications are complete.  The systems stand ready captain

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::Occasionally mumbles to herself the words of her message as if trying to hear just how it might sound to someone else.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
FCO: Never mind. It's just that the last FCO to use a nail file on the bridge died.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears the CTO and hopes that these modifications will work::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV/*CEO*: How are things on your end?

OCO_Lane says:
@OCSO: CO: Captain, the storm is beginning to ease up.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: The storm is passing

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CSO: She used what on the bridge?  ::Slightly surprised.::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Finally some good news

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
FCO: A nail file.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: CSO: Good. How long until it is completely gone? CO: Yes.. lets just hope we get even more good news.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::glances at her poor burnt tail and grins:: CO: A little fired, ma'am.  But other than that the simulations are going well.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Around 15 minutes, give or take a few

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
*CO*: They will be ready Captain. I am working on squeezing some extra shield power for them now 

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CSO: What'd she use it for to loosen a screw on the console?  ::Dreading the answer.::

OCO_Lane says:
@::gets up, or rather tries to and reaches for the back of the FCO's chair:: OFCO: How long until we clear this storm?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Good work Commander. ::She pulls up a display on her side console::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV/CTO: Are we clear on how we plan to attack this thing?

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The four Nacandarian vessels are no longer in orbit of the planet.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain the intensity of the storm is dropping, the effects on the mines will subside also.  Time is against us

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Sensors are beginning to clear...I'm showing a lack of cohesion amongst the mines sensors::looks at Prue:: It's possible the ion storm has adversely affected them, thereby allowing relatively safe passage through

TCO_Captain_Potts says:
@::Looks at the viewscreen, stumped:: TCSO: What happened? Where are the Nacandarians?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Aye captain the emitters are configured to fire the pulse

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears the CTO and Woody:: CSO: Good Commander. ::Looks at Keely:: CO: I agree with the Lieutenant, Captain. We should move out as soon as possible.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Contact our friends and ask if they are green to go?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
FCO: She was doing her nails. The blast arched from her consol, into the nail file, then into me.

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::Looks up at the screen and seems thoughtful::

OCO_Lane says:
@OFCO: ::looks at the readings:: CO: Shouldn't be too long now Captain. ::smiles and turns to make sure the Captain is still standing::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Raises her eyes in shock at what the CSO just told her.::  CO: Aye ma'am.  ::Prepares an encoded signal to the other Federation vessels regarding their status.::

MO_Breaker says:
::notices that the rocking has evened out some as fewer and fewer crewmen enter complaining of stomach problems::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain, sensors indicate that the 4 enemy vessels are no longer in orbit.  The have taken a polar orbit around one of the stars

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: Odd, the alien vessels seem to have disappeared. Could still be a sensor glitch...::recalibrates::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Sends the Message.::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: Any thoughts on why?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: They disappeared? Double-check your sensors. They could not have just disappeared.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: My thoughts exactly ::checks sensors::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: They are moving into a more defensive position to protect themselves.  Perhaps they know we can breech the minefield during the ion storm

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::rubs her chin watching the screen::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears the CTO and turns to him curiously::

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
::Comes onto the bridge, sinks down wearily and begins looking at ways to boost the Sharikahr's shield output now::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to the CTO::  All: When we receive word from our friends we will begin.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO/CTO: Unless they are creating a trap of some sort..

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Prepare to launch the vessels.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: I don't think so.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Either do I. ::Pauses:: CO: Do you suspect that they have the President aboard one of their ships?

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: I'm reading the same information as K`Vas. They've just moved

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye ma'am

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods to the CSO::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: I'm showing they got our message.  They just haven't responded yet.

OCO_Lane says:
@::looks over at the message from the Sharikahr and nods:: All: Ok, keep an eye on the Sharikahr people.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::shakes her head::  XO: No I think he is on that planet.

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
XO:  I agree with the Captain.  If our assessment of the Nacandarians is correct then its quite likely they as a colonistc species would have sought out survival of their groups before anything actually tactically offensive.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: CO: My thoughts as well. ::Smiles towards the Counselor:: CNS: Agreed Counselor.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
XO: A trap is always a possibility with enemies that do not fight with honor.  We will be able to investigate once the minefield is cleared

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Hail them again.

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
All: I mean, why should we suspect them of treachery. They've been so nice so far. 

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CEO: Of course we expect the worse Ensign. They could be planning anything.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Resends the message requesting the status of the other ships on closed channel.::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::glances at the CEO a moment to make sure that he was being sarcastic::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Nothing ma'am.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::eager to get onto the planet and doing some scouting::

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
::Tries desperately not to smile::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CEO: They kidnapped the Federation president.  Only a lo'Be Vos resorts to kidnapping

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
CTO: You mean they're terrorists. Some of my best friends used to be terrorists.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO: Do we go for it not knowing if they will be there supporting us?

MO_Breaker says:
::Watches the last of the crewmen leave the sickbay than stands away from the wall he had been leaning on since the rocking started::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Thinks for a moment:: CO: We should attempt to contact them one more time. If by then they don't respond... it is our duty to do so.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CEO/CTO: Gentlemen, please take up this conversation at another time and place.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
::smirks at the CEO and says something under his breath in Klingon ::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Aye captain

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to the XO::  FCO: One more time.

MO_Breaker says:
::staggers and sways than grasps his stomach::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
CTO:  Actually I must disagree with you Sir.  There are many reasons a race of creatures might kidnap someone and ill intentions is only one of them.  We must not limit our own minds with assumptions about those who may yet turn out to be not our enemies lest we endanger the innocent men and women on this vessel and on their planet further than need be.  Too much does not sit right with me about this so called kidnapping for it t

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: ::sees the storm is over::  Launch the vessels.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: As you wish.  ::Presses the send button a third time.:: Perhaps their outgoing transceiver has been damaged.  I'll try to determine if it has.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO/CO: I have full sensor power. The mines are sensorless, and have probably lost the power to attack, unless we run directly into one

OCO_Lane says:
@::takes a look at the screen:: OCSO: Ok, that storm seems to over for now. What about the mines?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Thank you

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Very good Commander. Do you believe they still have the ability to replicate?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CSO: Understood.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::launches the vessels:: CO/XO: Good, because we may not want to delay too much longer.  Those mines may have a timed reset. ::sees her board:: Ships are launched.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO: They would have the ability to replicate, but would not do so unless they detected us, which they can't do.

OCO_Lane says:
@<OCSO> CO: Captain, the sensors on the mines are gone now. Isn't that unusual? ::looks puzzled::

MO_Breaker says:
::blinks and glances around,  Straitens his uniform out and begins filling out reports of who came in with what problems::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Tries to send a loop message to the Federation Ships, that goes into their receiving transceiver than goes right back out via the outgoing to test their outbound communications.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CIV: I concur

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Nods:: CO: Captain, I suggest we get going. Time is not on our side unfortunately.

OCO_Lane says:
@::sits back down:: OCSO: Something is rotten here. ::leans on her arm::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to her XO:: FCO: Take us in... we will try to just fly right by them at first.  CIV: Do the same.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: ignores the CNS's view on kidnappers and monitors the ships in preparation for activating the emitters ::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: Keep you finger on the button.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::monitors sensors::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::sits up in her chair a bit straighter::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Yes captain, I stand ready

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
::Watches the engineering display, pulling power from everywhere he can to strengthen the shields::

OCO_Lane says:
@OFCO: Hail the Sharikahr.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: I think I've got an open line now.  ::Secures it.::  Whenever your ready.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye ma'am.  ::directs the smaller ships into their pattern::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
COM: Ottawa and Tian Inman: We are going in... try to just fly bye them but if we must... use the emitters as planned.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The 4 Nacandarian vessels break solar orbit and head towards the planet.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Sets a course and waits for them to respond before engaging it.::

OCO_Lane says:
@<OFCO> ::answers the  Shari::COM:Sharikahr: Understood. Good luck.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Now

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO:  The enemy vessels have broken orbit and are headed for the planet

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to the CTO::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears the CTO and sits on the edge of her seat as she looks over the information on her side console::

TCO_Captain_Potts says:
@COM: Sharikahr: CO: Got it. We'll be there.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: Any indication that there are more about?  Last intel thought there may be as many as 11 in this system.

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::soft voice to Captain alone::  CO:  Has a Telepathic hailing of any kind been attempted?  Perhaps if they trust so much in the powers of their mind to work in concert with their technology they cannot receive our hails?

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: They must know we're here and digging in for battle.

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
CO: Perhaps the sun shielded them from the ion storm to some degree

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: The sensors are still affected by the nebula.  I will continue scanning

OCO_Lane says:
@::grips her chair and watches the viewscreen:: OFCO: Steady as she goes.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CNS: ::softly:: Normally I would agree with you that we should try to contact them first, but my orders are to 'show force'.  I don't feel I have that option.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO/XO: We risk loosing sensor telemetry as soon as we enter the Nebula

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods:: CSO: Understood.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CEO: My thoughts as well.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
::Engages on the prescribed course.::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::softly::  CO:  Aye Ma'am... ::smiles:: but no one said you couldn't try two things at once?  ::arches eyebrow::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears all of the suggestions and reports as she watches her console:: Self: We can do this..

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::considers the CNS's words::

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
::Hisses something under his breath in Bajoran::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
~~~CNS: You want to attempt to contact them this way Counselor?~~~ ::She turns to her for a moment::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::softly::  CNS: How strong are your abilities... forgive me but I have had the time to give your bio more than a glance.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: One of the Nacandarian vessel breaks orbit and heads towards the USS Sharikahr, one to the USS Ottawa and the other to the Tian Inman. 

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: One of the enemy vessels has changed course and is headed directly towards us

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Captain, we've got a Nacandarian vessel on intercept course to us as do the Ottawa and Tian Inman.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::hears the CTO::  FCO: Punch us through as quickly as possible.

MO_Breaker says:
::watches the sickbay as the nurses and emergency medics stand around chatting nervously::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: Their ETA?

OCO_Lane says:
@<OFCO> CO: Ma'am, we have a ship heading for us....it's Nacandarian!

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::orders the ships to punch through with the Shari and then get behind the Shar on the other side::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: I'll do my best.  ::Hunches over her console in concentration and work to get the job done.::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::softly::  CO:  Your XO is stronger... she can contact me and I can not reach outside myself as she can but on a ship full of Vulcans, certainly someone exceeds perhaps even both of our capabilities.  I do not know your crew well enough yet, or those on the ship.  She's your ship Captain and it's your call... but the door is open for another option.  I just wanted to make sure you saw it.  That's all.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::hates bugs::

OCO_Lane says:
@::stands:: OFCO: ETA?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: readies the offensive systems :: CO: Captain ETA 3 minutes.

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She looks towards the FCO and then the sensors on her console:: All: Be prepared for anything with this ship heading our way. ::She raises an eyebrow::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
~~~XO: Yes, we are ordered to show force but no order says NOT to hail them like this.  perhaps they can only receive telepathic hailing and NOT electronic.  Its something we didn’t' think to try.~~~

OCO_Lane says:
@<OFCO> CO: Three minutes Captain.

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The vessels engage tractor beams and begin dragging mines behind them.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
XO:  Try to contact them with Telepathy. ::softly::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
XO: Commander, we will all do our best.

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
All: Not good at all

OCO_Lane says:
@::turns to the CTO:: OCTO: What are they doing?

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::Hears Keely and nods. She closes her eyes and concentrates on trying to contact the Nacandarians::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::looks at the floor thoughtfully, perhaps a touch sad?::

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
All: Um are they doing what I think they're doing. ::Puts the actions of the Nacandarians on screen.::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain they are tractoring mines behind them.

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
CO: Once the mines pick up speed the Nacandarian vessels can release them and use them as crude weapons against us.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CTO: Suggestions?  Can we do the same?

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::Mutters something unintelligible as she looks at the ship on screen::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO/XO: It's a given that they’ve reactivated the mines

OCO_Lane says:
@<OCTO> CO: They are tractoring mines Captain! Shall I prepare to fire on them and try and break that beam?

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Maybe a good shot at activate those mines they are dragging will before they release them will damage them from behind.

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
All:  Is it possible they are making a path for us rather than preparing to sling them?  With their technology why use such a crude form of weaponry?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: looks at the CIV impressed with her suggestion :: CO: I agree with the Lt.  detonate the mines they have in tow

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::disagrees with he CNS on this one::  CTO: Do it

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::tenses::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
::She reopens her eyes and cannot believe what she heard:: CSO: They are tractoring mines towards us?  CO: It didn't work Captain.

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
All:  I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't trying to put those mines around the planet to keep off worlders from ever having to enter their again.::

OCO_Lane says:
@OCTO: Prepare to fire on their tractor systems but not until I give the order. I'm curious as what they are up to.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::nods to the XO... glad to have at least tried::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: With all due respect councilor, I don't think they like us.I Hope I am wrong

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
:: tries to target the mines being tractored and fires weapons :: CO: Firing weapons captain

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: The only thing I could sense was... nothing.. on any of the ships. It was rather strange.

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
CSO:  I hope you're not... if so we may be making enemies out of someone who could have been productive members of the Federation as well as endangering the President's life.  We were to show force... not fire on them...

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::looks worried::

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CSO: Commander, is there a way that you can check for life signs aboard one of the ships?

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Try to open a comm with the Nacandarians.

MO_Breaker says:
::Keeps writing the reports waiting for the first reports of injuries, and the first unexplained shudder, hoping that it won't come::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: All three vessels engage forward a full impulse towards the 3 Federation ships.

OCO_Lane says:
@::ponders their predicament::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::looks to the Captain::  No offense Ma'am... I see your position as well.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::watches the sensors and orders the runabouts and smaller craft to keep a distance from the Nacandarians::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::nods respectfully to the Captain::

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::mind spins with circular logic:: CNS: Yes.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain the other 3 enemy vessels have increased speed and altered course towards us

FCO_LtJg_Haynes says:
CO: Evasive Ma'am?  ::Sees the force of power building up.::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Yes

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: One mine explodes. All three vessels maintain course... with the mines in tow

OCO_Lane says:
@<OCTO> CO: Ma'am the Shari has fired weapons!

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
XO/CO: Odd..I'm not reading Any lifesigns..it's possible the vessels are automated...decoys

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: Captain, if my senses are correct there may not be anyone on those vessels. ::hears Woody:: CO: I knew it!

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
::Sees it on the screen::  Self: ::curses::

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
::gasps::  NO...

OCO_Lane says:
@::stands:: OCTO: Status!

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
CSO:  Or operated from the Planet, remember they can control their ships with their minds...

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
All: Suggestions?

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: One of the mines detonated but the rest are being towed towards us

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: One Nacandarian vessel collides with the USS Ottawa at full impulse.

CSO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Blow them out of space....we aren't hurting anyone

OCO_Lane says:
@<OCTO> CO: Little effect Captain. One mine destroyed, but....... ::stops and points to the screen::

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
CO: Permission to open fire all weapons

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Ma'am...I suggest we fire on them with everything we have...now!

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
FCO: Get us away from them now!

CNS_Ens_Delu says:
CO:  If they've put out empty vessels they're controlling from the planet and are sending them at us we can only assume they mean to do us harm to protect their people... 

XO_Cmdr_Davis-Patterson says:
CO: We need to take out those ships first Captain. ::Raises an eyebrow::

CEO_Toran_Sidra says:
CO: Agreed. We should attack the vessels with everything we have

MO_Breaker says:
::watches the lights dim momentarily and hears the humm of main phasers::All in sickbay: So it begins.

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV/CTO: Give them everything

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The destruction is spectacular.  The Galaxy class vessel explodes in a rainbow of lights.

CTO_Lt_K`Vas says:
::fires all weapons full volley at the closest ship ::

Host Gilles says:
ACTION: One Nacandarian vessel collides with the USS Tian Inman at full impulse.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
::orders the smaller ships to open fire at the nearest ship and especially at the mines they are towing::

Host CO_Capt_Cephas says:
CIV: Send the vessels in between us.

CIV_Lt_Mrlr says:
CO: Already doing so ma'am.

TCO_Captain_Potts says:
