USS Sharikahr Mission # 355
Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Sharikahr in her continuing mission to bring peace where conflicts may arise, to explore new worlds untouched by the eyes of men, and to brave the darkness of the last vast, unknown.
Five days and three neutrino nights are passed since the colonists' fleet entered the area affected by the pulsar and the singularity. Able to travel at warp speed even during gamma night, thanks to the improved sensors the fleet is now only 10 days away from the Tenaris System that is now only 17 light years away.
However every minute travelled is also bringing the fleet closer to the Alvar ships. Every time long range sensors have been able to penetrate the vast depths of space the Alvar fleet was closer and closer. Now in the middle of neutrino night, the other fleet is invisible to the Sharikahr's sensors and, maybe, in range for an attack.
It's 21:30 on the ship's clock. The night is quiet, however tensions are growing among the fleet, but colonists proceed with grim determination. Will there be a confrontation, and if so, will the colonists be able to punch through the Alvar’s lines?

:: on the sofa in her quarters, surreptitiously  trying to go through reports::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::brings over a cup of tea from the replicator, and sets it on the table next to her::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: All around her it is quiet as people go about their work.  She herself sits at the science station, reviewing the data they had collected so far, as the captain had requested::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Sips his cup of spiced tea held in his left hand and continues to scroll the PADD in his right ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::doesn't notice as she is engrossed in a fuel consumption report::
Host Enrico says:
<Atronach_Chief>~~~CO: They are coming. They are rushing here and they are moving fast. They seem determined to kill.~~~
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> :: Standing in the rear of the Bridge near the auxiliary engineering station ::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::pauses a moment, and looks down at what she's gotten her hands on:: XO: Hey, Millie?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: What?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
XO: Your shift ended hours ago. If you're gonna give me that look for working late...
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Sets his tea down and concentrates his mind ::  ~~~Atronach: Can you tell how many and how close? ~~~
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::approves the report and sends it on:: CTO: All right ::sips the tea:: Happy?
MO_Lt_Death says:
::sits at the CMO's desk with a cup of tea and pulls out a stack of medical journal PADD’s to peruse::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Sets the PADD calmly on his desk and exits onto the Bridge quietly ::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::reaches to collect the PADD while she's occupied::
Host Enrico says:
<Atronach_Chief> ~~~CO: Many and very distant, but I know your ships move fast.~~~
Teyol says:
:: Steps off the lift onto the bridge and makes his way over toward science.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::walks over and places it on the desk, but first keys it to his security code:: XO: *Now* I'm happy. ::smirks::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Pictures the local area and tries to correlate their current position to the hostile's positions ::  CSO: Lieutenant Commander.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::shakes her head:: CTO: You are impossible. ::playfully chucks a throw pillow at him::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks up::  CO: Captain?
Teyol says:
:: Pauses in asking Sin a question and turns toward the captain.::
Host Enrico says:
<Atronach_Chief>::mentally screams in pain:: ~~~CO: They blocked us Savar, we cannot get through to their mind. They are powerful, these Alvar. Be watchful!~~~
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::catches it, brings it over and gently tucks it in behind her head:: XO: And here I thought that's why you married me.

ACTION: All the people endowed with psionic power on the Sharikahr briefly feel the same jolt of pain that the Atronachs felt before.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Visibly winces at the scream ::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Her eyes widen as she closes her mental shields tightly.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: All is not well.  Sound general quarters and take us to yellow alert.  Activate the TIC.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: Well there was the fact that ::winces and grabs her head::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods as she stands::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
TO: Take us to yellow alert.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::raises an eyebrow, and looks briefly over at her, placing a hand on her shoulder:: XO: You alright?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> :: Furrows her brow and glances around the Bridge as everyone reacts at once to something she's not aware of ::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TO_Ens_T'Lorn> CSO: Aye, commander. ::does exactly that::

ACTION: The Sharikahr goes immediately to yellow alert and warns all the other ships in the fleet.

Teyol says:
:: Lightly rubbing his forehead, takes over science for the moment.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: Something’s wrong ::jumps up and throws on her uniform jacket and boots:: I should get to the Bridge.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TO_Ens_Mills> ::finishes shouting orders to the personnel in the TIC, then taps his badge:: *CTO*: Tactical command to lieutenant Arinoch. We've initiated yellow alert procedures, sir.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Motions T'Lorn to activate her information center and share data with science.::
MO_Lt_Death says:
::glances up at the yellow alert, and raises an eyebrow....but goes back to reading::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
XO: *We* should. ::gets up as well, and moves to do the same, before replying:: *TO*: Order all ships to move into defensive position. Standby for evasive maneuvers.
Host Enrico says:
<OPS_Chattars>CSO: The Minerva is hailing us and asking us what is going on? Fleet is asking directions as well.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Has OPS sound general quarters::
Teyol says:
CSO:  I am picking up an unknown number of vessels on an attack vector coming in at high warp speed, proximity distance.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TO_Ens_T'Lorn> ::ties their systems into science substations, and nods once to the CSO::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Moves to join him::  OPS:  Inform him we have incoming ships.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::exits their quarters and heads to the TL at a jog::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> :: Sighs, knowing that she never gets to enjoy the alert situations, and heads for her station - in Sickbay ::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over her shoulder::  CO:  We are picking up ships coming in fast.

ACTION: The sounds of Red Alert can be heard throughout the ship. The shields are risen and the lights dim...weapons array begin to get charged.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Normal sensors cannot see them.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::on his wife's heels, and a small part of him muses for about half a second the view from here isn't half bad... shoves it out of mind before she catches it, hopefully::
MO_Lt_Death says:
::looks up at a notification from the computer, then stands to walk out into main sickbay::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: Are you absolutely sure that's where your mind needs to be now? TL: Bridge
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
XO: Next time you give me hell for taking an assignment to Arcadia, just come with me, okay? ::smirks, and on purpose doesn't even answer her question save for a wink::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  Look on your sensors at an angled vector... they are coming in at warp 9.8.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain, ETA is 15 minutes.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::raises an eyebrow at the red alert, then accesses recent medical attention requests on one of the main consoles....analgesics? All of them?::
Teyol says:
TO: Their vector is at 11 o´clock horizontal plane.  8 o´clock on a vertical plane.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TO_Ens_T'Lorn> CSO: Confirmed, commander. I have them.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::looks up surprised as a few people wonder into sickbay wanting the same...pain killers:
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CSO: Signal the Minerva, send them our data.  OPS: Operations, open a general channel.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::exits onto the Bridge:: CO: What's the situation?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: Potential incoming vessels, multiple vectors.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Shifts slightly to contact the Minerva, passing the data along.::
Host Enrico says:
<OPS_Chattars>CO: Aye sir, general channel open...all laser communications up and running.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::steps off the lift as well, all professional now, and moves down to tactical... T'Lorn instinctively gets up, and heads for the same TL and the TIC::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> :: Steps into Sickbay and looks around for the medical officer on duty ::  MO: Lieutenant?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: Order the fleet to circle the wagons and get ready to fight if necessary.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Commander, I have a concern for our  telepaths.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
XO: Aye. ::transmits the order to the fleet::
MO_Lt_Death says:
::looks up and walks over from a patient on a biobed:: JCNS: Yes? Can I help you? If you also need pain killers, give me a few moments to catch up...
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Informs all vessels to clear all channels and go to red alert.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
COM: Aloud: Incoming vessels, we are on a peaceful convoy, and do not wish battle.  However, we are prepared to defend ourselves if necessary, but would seek peaceful resolutions first.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CSO: Understandable. I take it you felt the pain too?
Host Enrico says:
<Atronach_Chief> ~~~ALL Telepaths aboard: Federation, we will try to shield the fleet from the Alvar, but they are powerful, be prepared if we fail.~~~
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO: Yes... it would have touched even the weakest of telepaths.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::picks up another hypo spray and moves to the next crewman in line as she waits for a response from the JCNS::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks seriously at the first officer as the thought was passed to all telepaths.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::starts mentally going through his rough calculations, and comparing them to the readouts on his sensors... sends a minor correction or two to a ship here and there who's slightly out of position::
Host Enrico says:
<OPS_Chattars>CO: It's gamma night sir, it will take more than 10 minutes for them to receive the transmission on this laser frequencies.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
~~~Atronach Chief: We will, thank you for your help.~~~
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: At this speed we may very well be in weapons range by then.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hears the comment from OPS::  XO:  Commander, telepaths do not follow under the problem of gamma night.  Suggest we quickly relay the message along.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtLJ_Harris> ::Fixes the MO with a gaze ::  MO: Doc, it's me.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
OPS/CTO: We have to try.
Host Enrico says:
<OPS_Chattars>CO: Message sent on a set of bursts on all light frequencies.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CSO: Excellent idea.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO: I regret we did not set up a network of telepaths earlier.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::looks back over at the JCNS and blinks...stupid memory, acting up again:: JCNS: Oh, hi you. ::injects the crewman, checks him over again with the tricorder, then kicks him out:: There have been a ridiculous amount of requests for pain killers. Feel free to grab a tricorder and hypo sprays to help out.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> :: Tilts her head ::  MO: Painkillers?  Any medical reason?
Host Enrico says:
ACTION: Reports arrive from all the fleet, the civilian ships are in red alert and assuming defensive positions.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CSO: After this is over, we will get on that. For right now, just send a general message to any telepaths within your range.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Commander, all vessels reporting in.
MO_Lt_Death says:
JCNS: You were just up on the bridge right? ::steps closer to the JCNS:: It appears that something psionic in nature has occurred. Every empath or telepath or thereabouts have sent requests or come in person for analgesics. I'm not sure why. Have you any idea?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Ships are assuming defensive positions.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CSO: On second thought it looks like we can keep that idea for a later time.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> :: Frowns and taps the side of her head ::  MO: Silly human heritage.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::glances over towards Sin, then winks:: CSO: Thank you. ::he turns to the captain, and nods:: CO: Combat systems at the ready.

ACTION: Suddenly, the whole warp bubble produced by the fleet's engines shines bright for less than a second then it collapses. The whole fleet finds itself in normal space.

MO_Lt_Death says:
::smiles slightly:: JCNS: I know, right? ::sighs::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Pauses in what she is doing and closes her eyes.  While she has the distance of an average tele and could communicate with them, for her there needed to be some previous interaction, even if minor.  There had been one such minor one on the agriculture ships.::

ACTION: Surprised by the sudden move the JNCS falls on top of the MO.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Quickly she relays the information and informs them to gather others to pass it on... to be available..::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::rubs her head for moment, but stops and looks up sharply when she feels the ship slow::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::blinks, and braces himself against his console:: CO/XO: Our warp field's just collapsed!
MO_Lt_Death says:
::winces:: JCNS: Well, hello there.
Teyol says:
:: Looks at his cousin::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Stumbles, and rolls herself off the medical officer, clearing her throat ::  MO: ... apologies...
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
Teyol:  Later... not now.
Teyol says:
:: steps away from science as Sin moves quickly to fill his vacated seat.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*Eng*: Engineering!  What's going on?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: Are the ships still in formation?
MO_Lt_Death says:
::stands up and offers her hand to the JCNS:: JCNS: No worries. So, any idea what's going on?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Pulls up sensor data and quickly scans for answers.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
~~~Atronachs: Is this the Alvar?  How can we protect ourselves?~~~
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::checks for a second, then nods:: XO: They appear to be, commander. But we're sitting ducks at the moment.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> :: Takes the hand ::  MO: Thanks.  I'm not exactly sure what's going on... I was on the Bridge when the Captain came out, and now we're at red alert.  Battle situation?
Teyol says:
CTO: It would appear, they have some method of tracking us.
Host Enrico says:
<Eng> *CO*: A strong subspace pulse of unknown origin just knocked out the warp bubble...we cannot emit a warp field at the moment.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Unable to locate an origin either.
Host Enrico says:
<Atronach>~~~Savar: They are here~~~.
MO_Lt_Death says:
JCNS: I assumed that, I meant with the pain killer requests. ::shrugs:: No matter. Mind giving me a hand to get these requests met?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
Teyol: Excellent observation skills. ::carefully hides his sarcasm with a slightly less careful smirk::

ACTION: Ten large ships emerge from warp speed at one half AU from the fleet. They slow down, but short range sensors show that they just launched tens of small attack ships.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: We can still maneuver at sub light speeds. That will have to do for now. Inform the fleet as quickly as possible.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
XO: Already done commander.
Teyol says:
:: Lifts a brow::  CTO: Do you have anything that might disrupt the area around us... to keep them from getting an exact location.  Or we will be as you said, sitting ducks.  In a tight formation, while we can protect the inner ships, the outer ones become easy to attack.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> MO: I'm not licensed to do that, Lieutenant.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: I am reading ten ships.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::rubs her head again:: *Sickbay*: Could you send someone up with a painkiller?
MO_Lt_Death says:
::furrows eyebrows:: JCNS: I thought you were? Or did you not take the certification course last month?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Lieutenant, weapons tight.  Fire only if they fire.  OPS: Operations, repeat our earlier message.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
Teyol: Counter measures. Of a sort.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Captain, they are one half AU from the fleet and slowing... short range sensors show they just launched tens of small attack ships.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::sighs as she hears the communication:: *XO*: Yes sir, momentarily.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods, programming a pattern to limit shots to weapons and engines::
Host Enrico says:
<OPS_Chattars>: We are trying, they are not answering us so far Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
*MO*: Thank you.
Teyol says:
:: looks at the screen.  At this point, his suggestion was almost moot.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
Teyol: You any good at probe modification?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: How do our tactical plans adequately handle fighter squadrons?
Teyol says:
:: nods his head yes.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Six of the larger vessels have the mass of a battleship, Galaxy class.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Quickly reads through the telemetry.::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Against traditional fighters, we shouldn't have too much trouble. But we have too little information to say for sure. I've never seen a shield configuration like that before.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO/CO:  90 fighter ships on approach.  Design unknown.
Host Enrico says:
<ALVAR_MIND> ~~~ALL: THIS IS OUR SPACE, RETREAT OR DIE!!!!~~~::Strongly, as if shouted right in the ear.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::tilts head:: JCNS: Well...I guess you can um....hang out here? I have to head up to the bridge. ::grabs a medkit and one extra hypo spray, placed in her lab coat pocket::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Winces again ::  ~~~Alvar: We come in peace, seeking to colonize a planet beyond your system.  Allow us to pass, and we will not bother you.~~~
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Their hulls are completely black.  Composition appears to be tribernium carbide with additional traces of other heavy elements.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::sits down hard in her chair and reflexively covers her ears::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
<JCNS_LtJG_Harris> MO: Sounds... exciting, doc.  Sure thing.  I'll try not to kill anyone until you get back.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::winces slightly, shaking his head a little:: CO: I do have an idea, captain. It's risky, but if we can pull it off...
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  The small ships have shields and energy weapons of an unknown nature... unable to help you with the power.  However, they do not appear to be warp capable.
Host Enrico says:
<ALVAR_MIND> ~~~ALL: THIS IS OUR SPACE, YOU INVADED IT, PREPARE TO DIE!!!!~~~::Strongly, as if shouted right in the ear.
MO_Lt_Death says:
Head_Nurse_Awesome: I'll be back in a few. Hopefully our next shift of people will show up to help soon. ::turns and looks at Harris:: JCNS: I'd appreciate it. ::exits sickbay and heads for the TL::
Host Enrico says:
<TO_Pollock>*CTO*: One of the Duergar, Reginn, is asking permission to visit the bridge to observe the battle. He says he wants to help with his knowledge.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, suggest you might have one of our other guests join us.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: One of our guests just asked to join us, captain.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::steps into the TL:: Computer: Bridge.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Looks between his science and tactical chiefs, wondering if they are of one mind ::  CTO: Have him escorted to the Bridge.
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: Have they never heard of an inside voice?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods, and taps his badge to reply:: *TO*: I want a guard on him at all times.
Host Enrico says:
<Atronach_Chief>: ~~~ALL Telepaths: I apologize, they passed through our defenses, but we have adjusted. They won't anymore.~~~
Teyol says:
:: Waits for the CTO to finish his request.::
Host Enrico says:
<TO_Pollock>*CTO*: Aye sir, we will be up in five minutes.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Captain, if I can give those ships something else to chase, this mess we're flying through should make it harder for them to figure out which of us is the real fleet.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::steps out onto the bridge and glances around, then heads toward the XO::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: An interesting suggestion.  What do you recommend?  Probes?  Shuttlecraft?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Glances at her cousin as he taps his head and nods her understanding.  With her shields up, no one can get through... it is as if she is not there.  This had pros and cons in such a situation as this.::

ACTION: a mental attack hits Savar; he feels his mind is burning...everything blacks out for a second or two.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Stumbles to a knee ::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO: Probes, sir. Modified in such a way that they appear on sensors to match the ships of the fleet. It'll look like a part of our forces are... ::pauses, as Savar falters:: CO: Captain?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::moves quickly over to help:: CO: Are you all right?
MO_Lt_Death says:
XO: Here you are Com- ::sees Savar, and inhales sharply:: CO: Captain? ::moves over to him, and puts a hand gently on his arm to support him if needed:: Are you okay sir?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Impulsively recoils from the Doctor's touch, still not fully aware of his surroundings ::
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::with not a whole lot of time left, he shrugs, and decides to just go with it:: Teyol: We've got 2 minutes to make this work. How fast can you reprogram a probe?
MO_Lt_Death says:
::pulls out tricorder and starts to scan Savar as the XO moves closer::

ACTION: Escorted by two security officers Reginn enters the bridge and while holding to the rail he watches intent the main screen.

Teyol says:
:: lifts a brow and moves toward the auxiliary station::  CTO:  We shall soon know.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::glances over at the bridge entry as it opens, and with a hand motion, has them cover their guest... no, he's not paranoid at all::

ACTION: The small Alvar ships move with incredible speed and agility. They are like angry hornets attacking a larger target they finally close in to the large transport ships and fire some kind of globular salvo that looks like a green phosphorent gel that erupts violently against the shields of the large colonists ships.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over at Savar... she could help if he needed her, but not until asked.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::uses her counselor's voice:: CO: Captain...can I help?
MO_Lt_Death says:
::pulls out a hypo spray, and kneels to be at the same level as the Captain:: CO: Captain, I can give you something for the pain.

ACTION: The jets come out in green streams then erupt in milky white blast circles against the shields of the Sharikahr, once they hit they skitter around in unpredictable directions as in looking for the weakest part of the shields.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Lieutenant...
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
Teyol: That's the spirit. Program them for a course directly perpendicular to our own.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: They are firing some type of globular salvo that is reacting violently with ship sheilds on the transport.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::nods to Sot'soh, and returns fire, phasers only to take out their weapons::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: I do not believe we want whatever it is to get through.
Host Enrico says:
<Reginn> ALL: These ships belong to the Royal Chasseurs. They have Finarfin's Coat of Arm on them marking them as the Prince's Own. We could not pick worse foes. There is no dishonor in retiring from their attack.
Teyol says:
:: Quickly has the program up and into the protocols.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Flails briefly, and then blinks several times to clear his vision ::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
Reginn: We can't run. Our warp engines went offline.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: That'll happen real fast with no one asking them nicely to stop. Can you get through to the klingons?
MO_Lt_Death says:
CO: Captain? ::still holds the hypo spray, and waits for a few more minutes to see if Savar recovers...or not::

ACTION: Savar's pain disappears completely, but now it's Teyol that is bent in two as if a white hot iron was ran through his head.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Commander, those small ships are not warp capable.  We could run if needed... but we need to misdirect them.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::curses at the change of events, then gets an idea:: XO: Commander, I have an idea.

ACTION: Taking a full hit by the phasers aboard the Fleet, the shields of ten of the Alvar attack ships flicker and die. The ships explode when the full force of the phasers runs through their hulls.

Teyol says:
:: Clenches his teeth tightly, his hands frozen in a rictus as they hover over the board.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
:: Pulls himself to his feet, to his towering height, then looks around him ::  XO: They were in my mind... darkness, black depths.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
XO: If you feel like getting your hands dirty, that is...
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Moves over to Teyol and gently shifts him aside so she can complete the programming.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CTO: What's the idea.
MO_Lt_Death says:
::pulls the tricorder out and scans Savar again:: CO: But you feel fine now, sir?
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
MO: I am well.  :: Points to Teyol ::  He is in much pain.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: quietly::  MO:  My cousin needs your assistance.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::decreases the phaser output slightly, then fires again:: XO: If you'll man the secondary station, I'll transfer torpedo control. You can take your queues from me.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::smirks only slightly... it pays to have strong telepaths on your side, too::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
CO: Do you think hat you can defend against them if they try again?
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: pauses a moment as she rethinks one of the commands, then finishes up.::  CTO:  This is ready when you are.
MO_Lt_Death says:
CSO: Indeed... ::walks over to Teyol:: Teyol: can you hear me?
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CSO: One moment... I'm clearing you a path.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Touching her cousin as little as possible, moves out of the way and back to her station.::
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
XO: Unknown.
Teyol says:
:: Simply nods his head as he works to push the pain aside.::

ACTION: The targeting systems have some problems in aiming at the small ships so many shots miss their target, but when they do the powerful Starfleet phasers have no problem in disabling the fighters.

XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::goes to the secondary station and keys in without a second thought:: CTO: Just tel me what to do.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: The Santa Fe's taken serious damage. Everyone else appears to be fine thus far.

ACTION: The fight continues, The Alvar clearly know very well how to fight. Their ships are taking many hits from the Colonists fleet, but still producing lots of damage.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
Reginn:  Do you know what that green globular stuff is?
MO_Lt_Death says:
Teyol: This will help with the pain. ::after scanning him briefly with the tricorder, she injects the hypo spray she'd reserved for the Captain into Teyol, and stands ready to assist him to the floor or a chair if needed:: Give it a few minutes.
Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
CTO: Rearrange the fleet to take the Santa Fe off the front lines.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::rather than outright tell her, he lets his battle plan come to the surface in his mind for her reading pleasure, envisioning the phasers taking out the fighters, while the torpedoes target primarily the capital ships::
Host Enrico says:
<Reginn>: CSO: It is the Alvar's Main weapon.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
Reginn:  Yes, but what is it and what will it accomplish once it gets through the shields, or is that its goal?
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::nods at  the CTO:: CTO: Ready to fire on your mark.

ACTION: Suddenly Teyol feels better, while the CTO's skin color becomes very pale and the Sharikahr's phasers hit one of the transport ships, the Oregon Trail.

Host CO_Captain_Savar says:
*TIC*: Signal two of the heavier armed vessels to break formation and flank the capital vessels, then return to the sphere.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::staggers back a step or two, then drops to the floor::
Teyol says:
:: Sinks into the seat behind him and takes slow deep breaths.::
Teyol says:
:: Opens his eyes::  MO:  Thank you.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: frowns::  CTO: You just hit the Oregon Trail.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
<TIC> *CO*: Acknowledged, captain.
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns to see him down::

ACTION: The Yukon, one of the colonists ships loses all power and its hulking hull moves just on inertia and it is beginning to drift away the defensive formation.

MO_Lt_Death says:
::nods, then looks around the bridge crew, and moves quickly over to the CTO:: CTO: Can you hear me, Lieutenant? ::scans him briefly with the tricorder, then injects him with a hypo spray::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::looks down in horror at her collapsed husband:: CO: It appears that they can hit non-telpaths too.
CTO_Ltjg_Arinoch says:
::gritting his teeth, then manages to get out before fading briefly out of consciousness:: XO/Teyol: Fire...
Teyol says:
:: Stands up and activates the command.::
CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Reports to the captain the Yukon's situation.::
XO_Cmdr_Arinoch says:
::starts firing in the exact way her husband relayed to her::
