OPS_B`lee says: 
::overhears the CTO and changes power performance protocols, preparing for warp again::

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: yes sir

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Unsure but its a small shuttle.

CSO_French says: 
::scanning the shuttle::

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: gets to work::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Federation by the readings I am getting.

CSO_French says: 
CO: confirmed sir

OPS_B`lee says: 
::opens a channel to the shuttle:: CO: Channel is open, Captain...

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::checks a few things in the computer:: CO: It's signature isn't showing that it has been reported stolen sir.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
CTO/CSO: Good.. ::Turns to OPS and nods:: COM: Shuttle: This is captain Jordaïn of the USS Tal-War. Please identify yourself.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::mutters under her breath:: Self: If the computer is accurate.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::frowns:: CTO: If that shuttle doesn't change course soon, it's going to fly right through our evidence...

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
OPS: I realize that. ::looks at the CO:: CO: Sir whoever is on that shuttle needs to stop.

OPS_B`lee says: 
CO: ...or change course.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
CTO/OPS: Understood..

CSO_French says: 
::looks through database:: CO: readings indicate it's a type 15 shuttle, 3.6m in diameter

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COM: Shuttle: This is captain Jordaïn of the USS Tal-War. Please identify yourself.

CEO_Hoyt says: 
:;gets up from his office and heads for the bridge::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
CSO: Noted, mister French

XO_Llewellyn says: 
@ COMM: Tal-War: CO: This is Lieutenant... Commander Heather Llewellyn... please respond. ::wonders how B'lee will take to the sound of her voice if he is on duty::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::standing at the OPS panel he looks up and raises an eyebrow ... really wishes the Tal-War had a counsellor since now he's hearing her voice when he's awake too::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: Are you picking up anything on the debris?

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Breathes a sigh of relief:: COMM: Shuttle: XO: Commander.. I've received a message indicating your transfer.. You may want to change your approach course... there is a debris field straight ahead of you. Mister B'Lee will send you the best course.

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: no organic matter yet. it was a shuttle that exploded 8 hours ago.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
@COMM: Tal-War: CO: Understood.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Sir do you wish for me to go down and meet her?

OPS_B`lee says: 
::transmits the new course to the shuttle wondering who is really coming aboard:: COM: Shuttle: You have priority clearance to dock in the main shuttle bay ... I'll be opening the doors shortly, and the shields are down.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::overhears the CTO/TO:: TO: Could someone have been aboard at the time?

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
OPS: Right now we don't know. If they were they are just space dust now.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
CTO: Send mister Bost'k down and keep an eye on the scanners please.. 

ATO_Bost`k says: 
OPS: no organic matter suggests they escaped

XO_Llewellyn says: 
@::follows the course he gives her to the letter, watches the shuttle bay doors to open as she arrives, mutters to herself some words in Japanese::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::opens the main shuttlebay doors and sends a message to the shuttlebay operations centre to prepare to receive an incoming shuttle::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::nods:: aTO: You heard the captain. Go down and meet the new officer. Bring her up through the deck 2 entrance to the captain’s ready room.

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: yes sir :: gets up and enters TL:: TL: shuttle bay

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Nods at Bost'k as he walks by::

OPS_B`lee says: 
CO/TO: Well that means their must have been another ship... ::starts looking for any signs of it on sensors:: CO/TO: If there was, its engines were much more in balance than the shuttle's ... better maintained.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
@::gently lands the shuttle on the appropriate landing spot that she was directed to::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::returns to monitoring the scanners and the readouts coming in::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::sees the shuttle is now in and begins to close the main shuttlebay doors::

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: A few minutes later the ATO arrives in the shuttle bay, as the shuttle doors start to open

OPS_B`lee says: 
CO: Captain, the shuttle is aboard...

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::exits the shuttle and enters the Tal-War shuttle bay, looks around:: Self: Mighty big ship...

ATO_Bost`k says: 
XO: hello sir, I'm ATO Alexei Bost'k. Welcome to the Tal-War.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Nods and gets up:: OPS: Thank you. ::walks into the RR:: CTO: You have the bridge..

ATO_Bost`k says: 
::extends hand::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Aye sir.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::looks up and sees the Captain leave the bridge:: All: Where the heck is he going?

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
OPS: My guess is to prepare to meet with the new officer.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Hears the ready room doors close behind him and walks over to the window, looking out::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::grimaces:: CTO: Well what the heck are we supposed to do now? It's not like this Bolian saboteur is just going to wait around for us to catch him.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::extends her hand to the ATO:: ATO: Hello, nice to meet you. Thank you. I should be reporting to the Captain, please take me to him.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
OPS: We are going to gather any and all information we can from this area and wait for orders.

CSO_French says: 
CTO/OPS: Do you know anything about our new officer?

ATO_Bost`k says: 
XO: of course sir. if you'll follow me... :: indicates then heads out of the shuttlebay::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::hunkers down to continue trying to find this mystery ship:: CSO: I know they're already putting us behind schedule ... sheesh, officers.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::follows along:: ATO: This is my first time aboard an Akira.... quite impressive. ::smiles::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CSO: Only what came across in her records.

OPS_B`lee says: 
CTO/CSO: New XO?

ATO_Bost`k says: 
XO: it is isn't it. I haven't been here long myself. :: enters TL::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
OPS: That is what I hear. Is there a problem with that?

ATO_Bost`k says: 
TL: deck 2

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::follows him into the TL::

ATO_Bost`k says: 
XO: so, how was your flight sir?

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::laughs:: ATO: I hate flying... ::grins because she knows how that sounds::

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: The TL arrives at deck 2

OPS_B`lee says: 
::shrugs:: CTO: You always think I have a problem with everything.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::concentrating on his sensors, ignoring Kerly:: CSO: Can we try a metaphasic scan ... it might reveal particles from the other vessels warp drive that I can't detect.

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: steps out:: XO: well you made a great career choice then sir. :: smiles::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
OPS: No I don't always think that. I was just asking. I realize we didn't exactly get off on the right foot when you first came aboard.

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: arrives at entrance to RR::

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::laughs and follows him out:: ATO: We all have our calling.

CSO_French says: 
OPS: sure, let me just adjust the sensors

ATO_Bost`k says: 
XO: the CO is in here sir. nice meeting you.

CSO_French says: 
::begins a metaphasic scan::

OPS_B`lee says: 
CTO: Ker ... Commander, instead of worrying about it, why don't we concentrate that energy on trying to figure out what happened here.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::nods politely to the ATO, rings the chime:: ATO: Thank you.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Still standing in front of the window:: XO: Come.. 

ATO_Bost`k says: 
::nods and  leaves for TL::

CSO_French says: 
OPS: It will take a few minutes to complete the scan!

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::shakes head and goes back to reading the reports coming in:: Self: Just drop it T'Kerl do you job and let it pass.

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: Long-range sensors start up with their blinky lights [tm]

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::enters RR, stands in front of his desk at attention:: CO: Lieutenant Commander Llewellyn reporting for duty, sir!

ATO_Bost`k says: 
TL: bridge

OPS_B`lee says: 
::nods:: CSO: Well ... what can we do in the meantime? What if we transported some of the debris aboard, do you think analysing it first hand would do any good?

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: steps off TL and walks to tac::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::sees more lights blinking:: aTO: Get a fix on that signal from the long-range sensors.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Doesn't turn around:: XO: Mister Llewellyn.. so.. Starfleet command thinks you are fit for a first officer position.. Tell me, what do you think yourself?

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: Red Alert starts up automatically....

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: sir. :: tries to get a fix::

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: Long-range sensors indicate incoming unidentified craft...large size vessel

OPS_B`lee says: 
::looks up and around and swears as red alert is sounded:: All: What happened?

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::looks up startled:: ALL: Report!

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: it's a large vessel sir.

OPS_B`lee says: 
*CO/XO*: To the bridge, please!

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CO*: Sir I don't know what is going on but red alert came on automatically.

CSO_French says: 
::turns sensors on the unidentified vessel::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: Get a fix and see if you can see what vessel it is.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::hears the red alert and looks up:: CO: I am... ::hears the combadge:: I guess we should get going....

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: Tactical sensor indicate UFO is running weapons hot

OPS_B`lee says: 
::moves away from his console, hurrying down past the command deck and sliding into the Flight Control seat feeling right at home as he slaves OPS to the flight console::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Turns around:: XO: Think about that one.. Welcome aboard! ::speeds himself to the bridge::

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: will do  ::gets a fix:: its weapons are armed!

OPS_B`lee says: 
::begins hailing the vessel on standard frequencies::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::checks weapons status and prepares for action:: OPS: Get ready to move us out of here.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::follows him to the bridge::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Enters bridge:: All: Status!

OPS_B`lee says: 
CTO: I'm on it!

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Unknown vessel coming in weapons hot. We are ready to move and return fire if needed.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::on his heels, waits to hear the status::

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: prepares for a fight::

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: Federation vessel.  Stand down prepared to be boarded

CO_Jordaïn says: 
CTO: Strength?

OPS_B`lee says: 
::turns in the FCO's chair:: CO: The vessel is not responding to hails, Captain ... I've taken Flight Control and slaved Operations. ::brushes some hair out of his eyes and spots Llewellyn, before turning back to the controls::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Unknown at this time but checking on it.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::thinks: that does not sound good....::

OPS_B`lee says: 
CO: Oops ... make that, IS responding to hails.

OPS_B`lee says: 
CO: I can get us out of here whenever you want... ::hands poised over the controls::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
ALL: Prepare to be boarded? Not without a fight.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: UFO: This is a federation-controlled sector. I suggest YOU stand down and we discuss this..

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: starts handing out phasers::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Nods to OPS::

CSO_French says: 
::takes a phaser::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::checks the weapons and has fingers hovering ready to fire when needed::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CIV*: Prepare to launch the fighters. Looks like we found trouble.

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: returns to place::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::smiles at the ATO and declines to take a phaser, preferring to keep his hands free to fly::

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::steps out of the way from the goings on, as she is new she figures it is best to watch and see how the crew operates rather than getting involved::

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: The UFO opens fire... and seals the launch bay for the fighter wing

CO_Jordaïn says: 
OPS: Evasive action! CTO: Return fire..

OPS_B`lee says: 
::leans into the console, taking the ship into an evasive pattern::

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: Tactical indicates dorsal bow shields are down.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::mutters a few Klingon curses under her breath:: CO: Returning fire, aye. ::hits the controls firing the phasers after targeting the other ship::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CEO: Shields down on the fighter wing. Get a crew out there and get them back up.

CSO_French says: 
::diverts power from sensors to the defensive systems::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Sir we can't launch the fighters they have sealed the bay doors.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
CSO: Who the heck is that!? CTO: Then our arsenal will have to do.. we have 375 torpedoes, fire at will.

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: Federation vessel.  Stand down and hand over your prisoner.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::raises an eyebrow:: All: Prisoner?

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Aye sir. ::looks up:: Our prisoner?

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Blinks:: COMM: UFO: What prisoner!

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::wonders that herself::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::takes the Tal-War through another gut-wrenching series of evasives, quite pleased that the inertial dampeners are working properly::

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: The prisoner you took from the vessel before you destroyed it.  Stand down and prepare to be boarded.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: Whoever this is they are nuts. This mess was here before we arrived.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: UFO: Cease fire.. we have not taken that man prisoner. We are looking for him ourselves!

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: well, we are the only ship around...

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::wonders about the people on the other vessel, what are they thinking, reaches out with her mind to see what she can sense emotionally from the other unidentified vessel::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
OPS: Send telemetry and sensor logs to them.. They have to realise this..

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: Well they aren't very bright in my opinion if they can't determine this mess was here before our trail showed up.

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: We do not believe you.  Lower your shields and prepare to be boarded.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::nods:: CO: Aye sir... ::begins transmitting their sensor data::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Any particular place you wish me to target with the torps?

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: I’d have to agree with you there sir.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: UFO: We are sending you our sensor logs.. Compare these with our Ion trail and you'll see that debris was there long before we arrived..

CSO_French says: 
::sends sensor data::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
OPS: keep up the evasives.. CTO: Cease fire..

OPS_B`lee says: 
::doesn't think that a good idea, but keeps up the evasives even more aggressively::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::REB:: CO: Aye sir, ceasing fire. ::pulls fingers back from the firing controls::

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::figures they are too far away:: Self: Darn it.

CIV_Lynam says: 
::Receives a report that the launch doors are completely jammed.  Alert fighters are still ready to launch and the plane handlers have the next squadron prepped to be lifted to the Flight Deck::

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: Your sensor data has been received... stand down

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::sees that the CO is a diplomat first... interesting for a former CTO::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: UFO: Not until you hold your fire as we have done..

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: is there anything you want me to do?

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: Agreed.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::sets their course to bring them head to head with the aggressor:: CSO: You better start scanning their ship ... we need to figure out who the heck that is.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: Just keep scanning the debris field. I think there might be more here than meets the eye.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
OPS: Come to a stand still..

ATO_Bost`k says: 
:: continues to scan the debris field::

CIV_Lynam says: 
*CTO*: Commander, we're ready to blow the bay doors with the emergency bolts.  Do we go or stand down?

CSO_French says: 
::scans the ion trail, metaphasic signature and particle density of the UFO::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CIV*: Stand down for now but wait for further orders.

OPS_B`lee says: 
CO: Aye sir ... full stop. ::stops them at 100,000 km directly ahead of the aggressor::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CIV*: Give me a report on damage and casualties as soon as you can see your way clear to do so.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::comes back to a more central location, quietly::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: UFO: Now, this is a lot more civilised.. I am captain Cix Jordaïn of the federation star ship USS Tal-War. Please identify yourself..

CIV_Lynam says: 
::Orders VF-82 to be ready for a scramble launch.  Receives confirmation that all fighters are armed with torpedoes and ready to go.::

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: We are the Hofrta.  We have come far to find our criminals.  We have to put them to trial.  Why did this one die?

CIV_Lynam says: 
Plane Handlers: Bring them up.

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: the Hofrta?

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CSO/OPS: Any chance in what you have been working on this could just be the shuttle exploding?

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: I don't have a clue. It's a new species to me.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
CSO: Can you get any information on that race? Is it a new one?

CO_Jordaïn says: 
Self: Interesting.. COMM: IFO: We have no evidence that he actually died. All we know is that there is a debris field, consisting of pieces of the shuttle that person used to escape a site where he had destroyed an important federation starbase..

OPS_B`lee says: 
::turns in his chair, eying the XO:: CO: I think we'd need further analysis ... get a look at the hull before we could be sure.

CSO_French says: 
::checks the database::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Slowly nods at B'lee::

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: No matter he would have died anyway.  Where are his brothers?

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::nods in agreement with B'lee::

CIV_Lynam says: 
::Senses the tension in the room, aware that the crew does not like attacked with no chance for retribution.::

CSO_French says: 
CO: well I've never heard of them but they sound like an alcoholic drink if you ask me

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: As soon as we can bring a few pieces on board and put them in the cargo bay for analysis.

CIV_Lynam says: 
All: Damage and casualty reports.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: IFO: We have very little information.. I just told you about everything we know. It seems you know a lot more then we do..

OPS_B`lee says: 
::butts in on Jordaïn:: COM: UFO: Hey, how about you let us in on the scoop of these brothers? How come they keep blowing up our ships and starbases?

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: will do

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::thinks that if this is a new race, we should find out more and  perhaps extend diplomatic ties:: CO: Perhaps we should join in the search for these people together...

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: ::hearing the OPS:: We have come to find them.  A section of our race explored outside our boundaries against our culture’s wishes.  They found the federation and were afraid.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::quietly:: Self: Damn straight...

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::looks over at B'lee, a small smile, she will talk to him about that later::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Almost whispering:: XO: Indeed.. but we need to find out who these people are first.. ::pauses for a second:: And get me a damage report please..

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::nods, walks over to OPS:: OPS: Lieutenant, I need a damage report.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::sitting at the flight controls:: XO: Aye sir... ::begins to get the assessment from all departments::

ATO_Bost`k says: 
::twiddles thumbs::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: IFO: I see.. Perhaps an exchange in general information would be appropriate. Just so we know exactly who we are.. We might gain advantages if we were to co-operate on this..

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: We are a xenophobic people...these brothers were trying to show our civilization that there is more to the universe than us.  This would not be good for our people.  A war would change our society forever.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
::spots the TO:: aTO: I believe I gave you a project to take care of. Are you going to tell me you have already determined which pieces we need to examine?

CIV_Lynam says: 
::Receives reports that the doors are the main problem, one alert fighter suffered some damage but the pilot is certain he can continue.::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
ATO: UFP general fact sheets.. send them over please.. ::Looks up again::

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::finds it amusing to have B'lee call her sir, but knows she is definitely going to have to talk to him::

CIV_Lynam says: 
::Orders the Pilot and fighter to stand down and reassures him he'll get his chance. ::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
COMM: IFO: We do understand.. the federation holds peace to be a necessity..

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: waiting for the computer to finish calculating

OPS_B`lee says: 
::finalizes the report and hands the XO the PADD:: XO: Here you go, Commander Llewellyn... ::said with a wink::

CIV_Lynam says: 
*CTO*: Damage report Commander...

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::listens to the COMM from the new race, hears the CO's response, smiles::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CIV*: Go ahead Commander.

Host Quchant says: 
<UFO> COMM: USS Tal-War: We do not wish a war.  Our government apologises for any fatalities.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::looks at B'lee and smiles at him, finds that wink cute:: OPS: Thank you Lieutenant. ::takes the PADD from him gently, and reads it right quick::

CIV_Lynam says: 
*CTO*: No casualties launch bay doors are jammed shut and can only be opened by blowing them out.  No estimate on repair time yet as the flight deck is operational and we have fighters on hot standby.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::nods:: COMM: IFO: As does ours.. Let's make sure history remembers this as a peaceful meeting.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CIV*: And if we blow them that leaves the bay open and vulnerable. I will report it to the CO and see what we are going to do about it.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::after doing a quick scan of the contents, walks back to the CO and hands it to him:: CO: The report you requested.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Whispering:: ATO: Wasn't that escapee from the Meringe a Bolian.. ?

Host Quchant says: 
ACTION: Comm is cut... UFO ship turns and very high warps back the way they came.  Just before they leave a subspace signal is detected transmitted in the direction of the starbase that holds the perpetrator in custody

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Takes the report:: XO: Thank you..

ATO_Bost`k says: 
::whispering:: CO: he appeared to be. but that could have been a disguise.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::watches Llewellyn's rear sashay away from the Flight Controls::

OPS_B`lee says: 
::turns back forward, shaking his head and clearing his thoughts ... she always distracts him so::

CIV_Lynam says: 
*CTO*: Looks like our 'friend' is leaving anyway.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
::Blinks:: All: O.. kay.. OPS: Intercept that message.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CIV*: That it does, but heading where?

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Sir we can't get TIC flight bay open without blowing the doors. I would like to suggest we get somewhere to get this fixed to keep the bay from being vulnerable.

ATO_Bost`k says: 
CTO: I’ve pinpointed the bits we need to beam aboard. ::points them out::

CO_Jordaïn says: 
OPS: And open shipwide..

XO_Llewellyn says: 
CO: So... when do you want to finish our talk?

CIV_Lynam says: 
*CTO*: Hey, I just push tin, you guys are the brains of the outfit.  ::Chuckles::  But I would guess, back to wherever they came from.  We're going to hold at present status and try to repair the doors.  If that thing comes back, we're blowing the doors and getting the birds out of here.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
aTO: Just as soon as the shields are lowered please beam then aboard.

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
*CIV*: If they come back the way they come in you have my permission to blow the doors and do what you need to do.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
XO: As soon as we get underway.. CTO: No fighter support.. Not good.. contact SFC about this.

OPS_B`lee says: 
::closes one channel to open another:: CO: Shipwide channel open...

CIV_Lynam says: 
*Engineering*: Send your damage control teams to the flight deck doors, small group, no more than four.  We may have to evacuate them in a hurry.

XO_Llewellyn says: 
::nods in response to the CO::

CTO_T`Kerl says: 
CO: Sir we can blow the doors and have fighter support but we need to get the doors fixed and soon.

CO_Jordaïn says: 
*Shipwide* Crew, this is the captain. First of all, we just had a first contact with the Horfta. Second, we have a new executive officer. I trust it that all will treat Commander Llewellyn with utmost respect. Bridge out.
