USS Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10606.15

Mission #258

The crew of the valiant USS Sharikahr have now been placed in a horrendous situation of life and death. Starfleet Intelligence and the Cardassian Obsidian Order have discovered that the asteroid the crew followed the Medical Cargo Ship to was indeed a base of operations for the Eleventh Order and Red Allegiance partnership.

Because of this, in their infinite wisdom, the Sharikahr was ordered to assemble a team to invade the asteroid and download their database. Once this “simple” task was done, the Sharikahr would take this information back to Federation Space.

The crew was skeptical, and Captain Irvin had several decisions to make. The Captain assembled the Senior Staff in the Briefing Room, where ideas would be exchanged and a plan of action could be created.

As this briefing went on, Lieutenant Elizabeth Murphy, a woman the crew has learned to despise, entered the Bridge of the Sharikahr and allowed an individual to be transported over from the Federation Starship Heartfire. Lieutenant Amarok Ki was sent to take on the role of Chief of Operations, replacing Lieutenant So'tsoh, who has been recalled.

This exchange seemed to cause the crew to detest Murphy even more. However, it did not matter. A plan of action was finally created. Executive Officer Rodos would take a team consisting of Commander Cartwright, Lieutenant Arinoch, Lieutenant Harris, Lieutenant Rochelle, and Lieutenant Murphy.

The Away Team would take the vessel offered by Gul Rema and act as if they were members of the Eleventh Order and Red Allegiance alliance. The crew has spent an hour and a half preparing for this mission. It was now time to take a stand.

Will the Away Team successfully complete their mission or be destroyed in the act? Will Captain Irvin allow Starfleet Intelligence to use the Sharikahr again after all of this? Will Counselor Rodos ever see her husband again?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::finishing preparations in his office::

ACTION: Captain Irvin and Lieutenant Commander Cartwright have been taken to Sickbay with severe stomach pain. A medical team has been working on them for the past several minutes.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::on the bridge at the operations station::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::entering the Bridge, Ens. Mathew's PADD still in hand::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::at the tactical station, all his away team preparations having been taken care of already::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::taps his combadge:: *CEO/CTO/MS*: Rodos to Away Team... assemble in Transporter Room 1. I will be there shortly.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*XO*: Yes sir, on my way.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::nods at the CNS::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::heads for TL::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
::She sighs when she hears the comm:: *XO*: On my way. ::Elizabeth heads for the Transporter Room with a bag in hand::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::turns his station over to Ensign Smith, and heads for the TL, nodding to Millicent on his way::

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods back as she takes the Captain's Chair::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
TL: Transporter Room 1.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::Runs a few scans at the science station::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::taps combadge again:: *CMO*: Rodos to Doctor Cartwright... you've been assigned to the Away Team. Make preparations and report to Transporter Room 1.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps into the TL, ordering it to the transporter room::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
*XO*: You're kidding, right sir?

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
::She exits the Turbo Lift and heads for the Transporter Room in silence::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::arrives in transporter room 1 waiting with his bags::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::steps out of the lift and follows Murphy into the transporter room::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
*CMO*: No more than you were kidding when you told me Millie was pregnant.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::frowns at the operations console::  CNS:  We're being hailed from Cardassia Prime.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::grabs his duffel bag and exits his office::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::glances at the CNS, at the mention of a hail::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::sighs:: *XO*: What kind of uniform will I need?

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
::She enters the Transporter Room and moves over to a back wall where she waits for the rest of the team::

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
TO: Ensign, please have a check run on the shields and weapons. If something goes wrong I want everything available and working

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::nods, and starts the check:: CNS: Aye, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
*CMO*: Replicate civilian clothing and meet the rest of the team in transporter room 1.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::looks up to see Murphy enter::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::moves across the room to where Mathews had stashed the mission supplies, and begins assembling gear for the team::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
CEO: Lieutenant. I take it you'll be wearing civilian clothes?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::walks over to his replicator:: XO: Understood.

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*Engineering*: Please make sure the engines are at peak efficiency. We may have to leave in a hurry.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  Uh... Counselor.  Hail?  ::points at the operations console::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
Computer: Jeans, blue; t-shirt, black.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::taps at the console, running a few more scans::

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
OPS: On screen, please.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
*CNS*: Yes sir, my EO is ready in case we need to get away.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Transporter Room 1.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::puts the comm on the main viewer and braces himself for what is likely to be a hideous sight::

ACTION: The face of Gul Rema appears on the screen. She looks rather annoyed, even for a Cardassian.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::collects the clothes and begins changing:: Computer: Milkshake, vanilla.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
MS: Yes, I will, sir.

Host Gul_Rema says:
#COM: Sharikahr: This is Gul Rema. I must speak to the Captain.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::hands out type II phasers to everyone in the transporter room, keeping a compression rifle for himself and the XO::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::wonders where the Captain went to::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::steps off the TL and makes his way down the corridor, entering the TR::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
CTO: Thank you.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
CEO: Very good, Lieutenant. ::She turns toward the XO and nods slightly:: XO: Are we all ready?

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Rema: This is Lt. Rodos, our Captain is indisposed. What can I do for you?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::grabs his milkshake and heads to the nearest TL, instructing it to the TR::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::passes over a compression rifle to Falor on arrival, and slings his over his shoulder::

Host Gul_Rema says:
#COM: Sharikahr: Well, I thought you would like to be aware that several additional warships have surrounded the asteroid. We are unsure why at the moment, but they are there.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::notices Rema, she looks slightly familiar, but then don't all Cardassians. Lynn tried not to make a disgusted face::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::steps out of the TL and heads towards the XO::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::looks toward the SO wondering if she knows whats going on::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::takes the rifle from the CTO and nods in his direction:: MS: We're just waiting for the CMO. ::turns around:: Ah, there he is.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::tunes the sensors for a more finite scan, attempting to pinpoint the aforementioned ships::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
::She smiles sweetly toward Logan:: CMO: Good day, Lieutenant.

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Rema: Thank you, I'll inform the away team.

Host Gul_Rema says:
#COM: Sharikahr: Who is leading this team, Lieutenant?

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*XO*: Lieutenant, Gul Rema has informed me that several additional warships have surrounded the asteroid.

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Rema: Our XO is leading.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
*CNS*: Understood. Does she want us to continue?

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
XO: We'll continue no matter what, Lieutenant. ::She chimes in::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::trips over an untied shoelace and flings the milkshake into the MS, drenching her in vanilla::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::attempts to hold in his laughter::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::goes to hand over a type II to the CMO, but watches him take a face plant instead, and just blinks::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::scrambles to his feet looking sorry::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::She glances at the OPS, with an assuring look that she is understanding of what is going on. At least she thinks she knows. She is not sure::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
MS: At least there wasn't worms in it.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
MS: You might want to replicate a new set of clothes, sir.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
::Her eyes widen at the contents on her clothes:: CMO: You, Lieutenant, will wash these. ::She glares at him:: XO: I'll change on the ship.

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Rema: What are you thoughts on continuing the mission in light of this?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::raises an eyebrow:: MS: Just an accident, and I don't take orders from you.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
CMO: I'll need you to handle the helm on this mission.

Host Gul_Rema says:
#COM: Sharikahr: You must continue, Lieutenant. This mission is important to both of our governments.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::just shakes his head, glaring at the MS, then handing over a type II to the CMO::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
XO: Not a problem sir.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::takes the type II::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::steps up on to the transporter platform:: All: Let's head out, team.

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
COM: Rema: Than we shall do so to the best of our ability. Thank you for the intel.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::frowns at the view screen::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
CMO: Actually, you do. ::She watches him for a moment before she steps onto the platform::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::dying to cut the comm::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to the MO::  MO: Can you give me a hypo of something?  I need to be on the bridge

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::grins sheepishly::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::tosses a last few pieces of equipment into his kit, and steps up onto the pad next to Falor::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::finger hovers over the button::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::steps on the platform::

Host Gul_Rema says:
#COM: Sharikahr: Of course. Rema out. ::She cuts the comm::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::tries to keep from watching the Cardassian::

Host CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*XO*: The Gul concurs with Lt. Murphy. God speed and come home soon.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::sighs::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::watches milkshake seep down the back of the MS' pants as she steps onto the platform and snickers::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
*CNS*: Aye Lieutenant. Away Team out.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  Is this whole mission being run by SFI?

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
XO: Are we ready, Lieutenant? ::She waits there, drenched::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::nods at the TR chief to energize::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
::gives Logan a look, and when Murphy isn't watching, mouths:: Good one.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::nods to the MO as the hypo is administered - hops off the bed, then heads out to the bridge::  *Bridge*: Status Report.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
::nods to the CTO with a grin and steps on the platform::

@ACTION: The Away Team transports to the small ship sent to them by the Cardassian Government.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
OPS: Lt Ki, you might want to run a diagnostic on the transporters after they are away. We may need to get them out quickly and I want to be sure the transporters are ready.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CNS:  Right. ::gets right to work on that::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::pulls out his tricorder, and scans the ship the instant they materialize::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::materializes on the transport vessel::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::Materializes right behind the XO::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::doesn't hardly trust those Cardassians::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::rides the Turbolift to the bridge::  

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::working::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::taps in a few scans on her station::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::materializes:: XO: They got replicators here? I fly better with ice cold milkshakes on hand.

@ACTION: The Away Team materialize aboard the Bridge of the vessel. It is run down, there is only one seat in the center and half of the controls seem fried.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: This doesn't look good.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@All: Wow, talk about a busted up ship.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::takes a look around, and smirks:: XO: This looks too familiar.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::tries to get a lock on the away team just for practice::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
*CO*: The Away Team is away. However, there are extra warships surrounding the asteroids now. I have OPS, Tactical, and Engineering making sure everything is in working order should something go wrong.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::nods:: CTO: Indeed.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She looks around the Bridge of the vessel and sighs:: XO: I suggest we inform the asteroid that we were attacked. Perhaps we should have the Sharikahr fire on us.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
*CNS* Acknowledged.  I am en route to the bridge and should be arriving..   ::doors slide open::  CNS: Now.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::moves to find himself a working console, and checks on transporter status::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@MS: Are you nuts?

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::watches the CO emerging onto the bridge::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::walks over to what looks like Engineering console::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::nods:: All: Alright folks, this may not look like much, but let's try and get her up and running double time.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::gets up and moves to the XO position:: CO: Good to have you back sir.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::Stands at attention once she sees the Captain on the bridge:: All: Captain on Bridge.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@CMO: I am far from it. ::She turns toward the XO:: XO: Lieutenant...

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::doesn't  get up as he continues working on the transporters::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CEO: Run diagnostics on all critical systems... I want a diagnostics report in five minutes.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::turns to the MS:: MS: Yes, Commander?

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::snaps a sort of awkward salute as the SO points out the captain, and nearly pulls something::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@XO: Yes sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: Your orders?

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: I take it you did not hear my suggestion?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::runs diagnostics on the critical systems::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: I did, I chose to hold off on my response while I give my team orders. Let's get this thing up and running before we make any decisions. One step at a time.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: Well, worst comes to worst we do have a working transporter. When dealing with Cardassians, you tend to learn how to fly by the seat of your pants... ::smirks:: sometimes literally.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: Thank you Counselor....   ::moves to the center seat::  It was my understanding that you were going to be on the away team.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::looks at RedFire::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: I'm not sure if you're aware, Lieutenant, but there are several ships around the asteroid watching our every move. Waiting here will ruin this plan.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::nods at the CTO:: CTO: Run diagnostics on the tactical systems, and report them to Ms. Murphy.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: With you sick, and the XO commanding the away team, I had to stay here.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::makes his way to the helm::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: Noted, Commander. I'd like to make sure this bucket of bolts will even get us there before we attempt the trip.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: It's as good as it's going to get, Lieutenant. ::She turns toward the CTO:: CTO: Well, what do we have?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CMO: Check the navigational systems.. make sure we've got what we need to make it there.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Lieutenant Rodos took the CMO with them.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::leans against the bulkhead and waits::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: Understood.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::starts bringing the navigational systems online::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@MS: Not much, Commander. We have *a* working phaser bank. Emphasis on the one.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CIV: Check the sensor systems and report their status.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::taps the communications button on the left arm rest::  *XO*: Irvin to Away Team...  Status Report.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@CTO: Which makes sense. We are to appear damaged.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: Understood sir.  ::moves off::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@*CO*: Our ship is a bucket of bolts.. quite literally.. we're just running some quick diagnostics before shipping off.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::under his breath:: This had better work, or appearances are going to get us killed.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::continues her routine scan check::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She rolls her eyes:: XO: Lieutenant! Comm traffic!

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@XO: Sir we have a problem shields at 60% and power is at 50%.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::snickers a bit::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::taps his fingers on his console::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: I have an idea, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
::turns around and glares at the MS in the eyes:: MS: Would you like to do this mission alone, Commander?

ACTION: Lieutenant Ki notices on his console that the vessels around the asteroid are in constant contact with each other. Comm traffic around the asteroid has increased greatly.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::hears Lieutenant Murphy in the background::  CNS: Are we supposed to be observing some kind of radio silence?

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Sir...

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: I wish I could. However, if the notice we are speaking to them - what will they think?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to OPS::  OPS: Yes Mr. Ki....

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: I was unaware of it sir.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::eloquently explains the situation to the CO::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::sighs:: MS: Very well. ::taps combadge, ending the comm with the Sharikahr::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::makes a mental note to leave her behind if the chance arises::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CEO: Thank you, Lieutenant. All: Let's get her powered up and out of here.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::looks at the sensor board and what is left of the palettes::  Self: Not good.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::leans forward::  OPS: Any chance that you can tap into some of it and make out what they are talking about without setting off any red flags?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CTO: Your suggestion?

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She looks around at everyone:: All: I'm changing. ::She exits into a small office area::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::thinks for a moment::  CO:  I could try.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@Self: Hopefully she's changing into a decent human being.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: Obviously they haven't detected this ship, or we'd be a target. So, let's make ourselves noticeable.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Do what you can...  Just make sure you don't push the envelope too hard...  Something tells me that this mess could be like a bee hive.  If we jostle it too much, they'll swarm angrily.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::taps in a few more commands to run some more routine scans::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: writes down the report on the PADD and walks over to the XO::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::initiates a disperse wide band comm sweep::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@CTO: I should find out if the engines will fire up first.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::clarifies:: XO: Ever been involved in a crash landing, Lieutenant?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@XO: Sir, here is that report. ::hands it to him::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: Sir sensors are fine but I only have SRS.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks over to the SO::  SO: Can you get me a play by play on the Away Team's craft?

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  I can't make it all out, but they mention the Sharikahr.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::raises an eyebrow, taking the report from the CEO and nodding:: CTO: Not particularly... what did you have in mind?

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::studies his console intently::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She emerges in fresh civilian clothes, clothes that are a little too revealing:: XO: Lieutenant, have you considered my suggestion?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::walks back to Engineering station::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: You want the Sharikahr to fire at us, but we must keep radio silence?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: turns and goes back to work::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: Send a text message... or use our telepaths. ::motions to the CIV::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Threaten....  Cardassians...  possible.  That's all I can pick out so far.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::looks at the XO::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: In all likelihood, this ship won't be leaving with us. And if we give them a reason to pause, they'll want to check our story. ::looks over to the CMO:: So, let's give them something else to think about.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Any ship movement?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: We're supposed to be badly damaged... so let's play the part.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::walks over to the XO::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: Sir you wanted me?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@CTO: I can do crash landing.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  They are arranging themselves in patterns...

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@CTO: Of course, if the ship is destroyed, how will we get back to the Sharikahr?

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::holds a hand out at the CIV for a moment:: CTO: You're suggesting we crash into the asteroid?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Elaborate...  

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
::raises her eyebrow:: CO: They may know about the Away Team

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::tries to see the logic behind the patterns::  CO:  I can't guess their intent.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::looks at the XO then RedFire::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::waits patiently::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Do they resemble an offensive posture?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@~~~CNS: This could get scary.~~~

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@MS: You're an intelligence officer, Commander... we'll improvise. ::turns to the XO:: XO: We won't have to. If they believe us to be theirs, they'll catch us.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Do we have them on external sensors?  Then we could put the pattern on screen.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::silently thinks that she never trusted Cardassians for several reasons. One of them being a sneaky type of beings::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: Call it a controlled crash.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: And they'll believe us if we're attacked and not just sitting here...

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::can't get his head around it::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::notices a few beeps on her console:: CO: Sir...

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::sighs, thinking:: CTO: That sounds like more of a risk than we need to take.. I'm actually inclined to have the Sharikahr fire on us, make it look like we were trying to get back to the asteroid but came under fire.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
SO: Yes Ensign...

ACTION: Science can detect five Keldon Class Cardassian Warships emerge and surround Cardassia Prime.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
~~~CMO: What's going on? We've noticed a lot of COM chatter from the asteroid. It mentions the Sharikahr. And the ships are rearranging themselves into a pattern we can't decipher.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Go for it.... 

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::reads the information that she is receiving:: CO: I am picking up some Cardassian ships leaving Cardassia Prime.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::puts a graphical representation of the movement of the ships on the main view screen::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::nods, making a decision:: CIV: Contact Counselor Rodos, tell her to tell the Captain to fire a low energy phaser blast at us.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: Then, might I suggest a narrow miss. We can blow out a few conduits on the way... make it look good.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::nods::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::watches it over and over and over again::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@~~~CNS: Your husband, the CTO and the thing are discussing crash landings and having you guys fire on us.~~~

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@:: works hard on trying to increase shields up::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: Once they fire on us, we need to pretend we are escaping and request assistance from the asteroid on their frequency.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@~~~CNS: XO requests that the Sharikahr fire a low phaser burst at the ship to give us the appearance of being fired upon.~~~

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: I'm afraid if it's much more than that we won't be making it to the asteroid.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::is getting a headache::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
SO: Can you detect from their transponder signals what order they are associated with?

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
~~~CMO: Please make everyone aware that five Keldon Class warships have surrounded Cardassia Prime~~~

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::has almost had his fill of this oddly classified mission::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::looks at the CTO:: MS: Very well. CTO: Target the Sharikahr and fire at them on my command, make it look like a small fire fight.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Captain.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She turns to the CMO:: CMO: Lieutenant, be prepared to escape toward the asteroid.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::runs a few more scans:: Not from what I can tell, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@XO: Five Keldon Class warships have surrounded Cardassia Prime.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::nods, bringing their weapon online:: Self: Small being the key word...

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::raises an eyebrow::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::targets the Shari's sensors:: Self: Never thought I'd ever be ordered to fire on my own damn ship.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: Captain...I have a request from the Away Team.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: What do you make of that, Commander?

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::runs a few more scans:: CO: The first Order, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
CNS: What's up?

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: Protection, Lieutenant. Just in case.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: Message sent sir.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CIV: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::nods::

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
CO: They are going to fire on us. They want us to fire back. Make it look like we are attacking.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: Then we shall proceed?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::fires up the engines:: XO: Ready when they are.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
CO: The away team has targeted our sensors, Captain.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::unsettled.  Looks briefly at the TO::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: Yes... the faster the better.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::is not reassured::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@XO: Sir, I have the shields up to a max of 65%. That's the best I can do.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CMO: Take us out of here, maximum impulse, until our fire fight with the Sharikahr is finished.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::backs up against the bulkhead and holds onto a jutting-out piece metal and feels RedFire's talons dig into her shoulder pad::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@XO: I'll have the Sharikahr fire on my mark.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She holds onto one of the railings, waiting::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@~~~CNS: Have tactical fire on us on my mark.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
TO: Weapons to 1/4 Power Ensign.... 

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CTO: Phasers ready?

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::nods, powering the weapons::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@XO: SHIELDS are at 65% Sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::waits patiently::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Shield strength?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: Aye. Sharikahr is charging weapons.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::nods:: CEO: Thank you, Lieutenant.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::grabs a hold of something::

Host Computer says:
All: RED ALERT.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
~~~CMO: All right.~~~ CO: We are to fire on the CMOs mark.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@CEO: Good work, Chief.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CMO: Engage the engines.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
TO: Ensign...  The Counselor will give the order to fire weapons.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::accelerates to full speed:: ~~~CNS: Now!~~~

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
TO: Fire!

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::nods, switching the weapons modifications online and firing::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@MS: Thank you, Sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::hangs on::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::holds on to the arms of the command chair::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@All: Sharikahr is firing!

ACTION: The Sharikahr hits the beaten up ship and it begins to shake. Several consoles explode around the Bridge.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CTO: Return fire!

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::steers towards the asteroid::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::does just that::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::feels the talons dig deeper in the shoulder pad::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::glances at the TO::

ACTION: One of the Keldon Class Warships move toward the Sharikahr when they detect the phaser fire from the Away Team's ship, which does nearly nothing to the Sharikahr.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
CO: The craft is returning fire.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::hopes they didn't damage the away team's ship::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
CO: They are on a course for the asteroid.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CMO: Plot a course to the asteroid, maximum warp!

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@MS: For the record Commander, this is a very bad idea.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::engages the warp engines::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She steadies herself:: CMO: For the record, Lieutenant, you aren't a part of intelligence.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: Lieutenant, permission to blow out a few of the secondary power couplings. Make it look genuine.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CTO: Granted.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@Self: If I was, I'd be lobotomized.

@ACTION: As the Away Team's ship moves off the Keldon Class Warship begins a pursuit.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::sends a controlled surge through the secondary systems::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::wonders if this is not to good an idea::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: We have a warship heading for us.

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::runs some scans from her console::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: I hope you know what to say to them.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
All: Yikes.  ::points to the display of ship movements on the viewscreen::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She raises an eyebrow:: CTO: A Warship? ::She turns toward the XO:: CMO: Tell the Sharikahr to hail that warship and have it sent away.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::watches as sparks dance along a few of the secondary consoles::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
CO: Sir, there's a warship giving chase to the away team.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@~~~CNS: Can you hail that Warship and get them off our backs?~~~

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
~~~CMO: I can try~~~

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: I wasn't told they'd be there... however ... I did assume as much.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::rubs chin::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::nods::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::looks to OPS::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Slave in Helm...   Overtake the warship.

@ACTION: The Warship charges its disruptor banks.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:   Me?!  Errr... right away Captain!

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@XO: Incoming.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: They're charging weapons. MS: If you have any more miracles up your sleeve, now's the time to play 'em.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::does so::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::holds on tighter and this time puts one hand on RedFire as well::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::the miracles statement is said heavily sarcastically::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
SO: Hail that warship on an emergency channel

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::prepares evasive maneuvers::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Initiating pursuit.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@Self: This is going to sting.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::does so::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@Self: For heavens sake!  CMO: Take evasive action and hail the asteroid, asking for help!

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::braces self::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::gives a nod to the CO:: CO: Aye, Sir. ::hails the warship on an emergency channel::

TO_Ens_Smith says:
CO: Sir, the warship has charged disrupters and continue to pursue.

ACTION: The warship returns the hail, audio only. "We shall stop the enemy vessel."

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  One quarter impulse.  ::pushes it higher::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@~~~CNS: Remind me to leave Murphy behind if we survive.~~~ ::begins evasive maneuvers and opens a channel::COM: Asteroid: Hello? We're under attack!

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::tries to access the ship's database, just in case they start demanding security codes::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::waits impatiently for a response from the asteroid::

ACTION: Three vessels surrounding the asteroid break their pattern and head for the Sharikahr's position at warp speed. Their ETA is 3 minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
::stands::  COM: Warship: Unidentified Cardassian Vessel...   Break off your attack...  We've been...   ::pauses::  Sanctioned by Gul Rema to deal with this treat personally....   

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Half impulse.

CNS_Lt_Rodos says:
~~~CMO: I'll do that Lieutenant.~~~

TO_Ens_Smith says:
CO: Sir, I have 3 warships leaving the asteroid at warp. ETA to intercept with us is 3 minutes.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@::She watches out of the view screen:: XO: I suggest we now head straight for the asteroid.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
TO: I think that's our cue that they have taken the bait on the little beat up ship.  

ACTION: The Warship breaks off its pursuit, but the three vessels continue on their course.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Maintain pursuit, Captain?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@MS: With all due respect Commander, shut up and let me fly this thing.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::looks at the MS and smiles::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::now can't keep a straight face and laughs::

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Negative.  Veer off, then ahead warp 4.  Take us back to Cardassia Prime.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
::nods:: CO: Our target has broken off pursuit, but the reinforcements are still coming.

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@CMO: One more disrespectful word and you will be reprimanded. ::Her eyes dart toward him and then back toward the XO, her face was firm - she was not kidding::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CTO: Hail the asteroid again on all emergency channels.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye!  ::pulls a slightly too sharp turn just for fun::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::nods, and does as requested, isolating the emergency frequencies::

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::begins to hum as he flies recklessly::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CMO: That's it, Logan... make us look like we've lost a bit of control.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::continues to laugh but quietly::

ACTION: As the Sharikahr heads back to Cardassia, the three vessels break off their pursuit and head for the Away Team's ship.

TO_Ens_Smith says:
CO: Sir, they've broken off pursuit. They appear to be headed for the away team's ship.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@XO: Sir, i can release some smoke, so it looks like we were hit hard.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CEO: Do it.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: Better make it fast and look good.  Company is coming and they are out for, well, blood by the looks of it.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Belay that Lieutenant...

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
::causes the ship to release large clouds of smoke through outside of the ship::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@CEO: See if you can vent us some plasma, too. Make it look like someone hates us.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
SO: Status report of the away team's vessel....

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: I'm assuming those three ships are on our side?

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::begins to make the ship rotate, but keeping the nose pointed at the asteroid::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: Your guess is as good as mine, but, I believe they are.

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::slows::  CO:  Course?

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@CTO: Got it.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: Considering they went after the Sharikahr... I assume they were attempting to defend us.

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@::releases some plasma::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: As do I, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CTO: Any response to emergency hails?

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::keeps his sensors trained on the asteroid for measurement::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::Scans the vessel:: CO: The Away Team's Vessel is still badly damaged, sir.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::continues to hold RedFire and hold on for her own sake::

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@XO: None so far, Lieutenant.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@MS: Suggestions, Commander?

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::reads another scan:: CO: The Shields are almost gone, sir.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::lowers power to the inertial dampeners for legitimacy.::

Host MS_Cmdr_Murphy says:
@XO: We let them come to us. Go to an all stop, they are our allies after all.

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@XO: It might be quite possible they don't want to give their location being as how the Cardassians are on our tails.

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@::begins shaking like a cowboy at a rodeo::

Host XO_Lt_Rodos says:
@CMO: All stop!

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
SO: Distance from the asteroid?

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Stand by.

CTO_LtJG_Arinoch says:
@::hangs onto the console as the dampeners are released::

OPS_Lt_Ki says:
::relaxes for a moment::

CIV_Lt_D_Rochelle says:
@::looks and shakes head::  Self: This is ludicrous.

CMO_Lt_Cartwright says:
@::executes an all stop, hoping the MS flies from the lack of dampeners::

CEO_LtJG_Harris says:
@Self: Hello! ::grabs a hold of his console::

SO_Ens_Rice says:
::reads her scans:: CO: One light year, Sir.

Host CO_Capt_Irvin says:
OPS: Hold position...
