U.S.S. Tal-War
10410.16

Host JimS says:
The final confrontation with the Seeker/Entity has begun.  The Tal-War has managed, thanks to Wanderer's help, managed to close the gap and is now just a few hundred feet from the Seeker.

Host JimS says:
The Seeker/Entity has a weakness that the crew of the Tal-War is, with the help of Captain Bradee and the survivors on the Seeker, going to try and exploit.  A maintenance hatch has a very thin coating of crystal and it is there they plan to attack.

Host JimS says:
I don't know about you all but I'd be hiding behind my chair right about now!  What if Wanderer turns on the crew of the Tal-War?  What will happen when the Seeker/Entity realizes it's not alone?  Will the two crews, and Wanderer, be able to stop the Seeker/Entity?

Host JimS says:
Grab a strong drink, some of your favorite snacks and join us as we find out the answers in Chapter Six of the Doomsday saga: He Ain't Heavy, He's My Father!

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Enroute to the bridge, satisfied that he is out of his cabin::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::at helm::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::moves across from the science station to Tac1 and starts programming firing patterns::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::on the bridge, looking a bit grim::

Capt_Bradee says:
@::continues to plant explosives around a maintenance hatch::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Enters turbo lift:: Computer: Bridge.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: I need 20 fighters prepped and ready and I need them yesterday.

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Capt, you must hurry I cannot fool my father much longer

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
COM:  Bradee:  How much longer?

Capt_Bradee says:
@::sets up an autotimer on the explosives::  COM: Kyrron: I just need a few more minutes, Captain!

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
<CAG> *CTO*: Prepping now, what's the mission?

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
COM:  Bradee:  Understood.

Host JimS says:
ACTION:  The Tal-War is hit with a scanning beam....a very powerful one

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: Cannon fodder so I need your best pilots on this.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
*Wanderer*:  A few more minutes while the Seeker crew gets things set up.

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Captain, he knows

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer> *CO*: It is too late...be prepared

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO:   Do we still have that partial transporter lock?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: Red Alert?

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Absolutely.

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: When the turbo lift doors open, he darts out and goes to his station::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::patiently programs evasives:: CO: Yep

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Weapons charged.  Prepare to fire.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::hits the big button::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
*ENG*:  Reinforce shields.  We're about to have some trouble.

Capt_Bradee says:
@::takes out more explosives and sets them directly on the hatch::  Self: If this doesn't do it, I'm not sure what will...

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: Phasers charged and locked, charging torpedo launchers.

Host JimS says:
ACTION:  Capt Bradee hears Seeker's voice; "You will not escape me that easily"

Host JimS says:
COM: Tal-War:   What do you think you're doing?

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::hazards a glance at the remarkably calm wolf laying at the FCO's feet::

Capt_Bradee says:
@::tries to ignore the Seeker's voice and continues to prime the charges::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
<CAG> *CTO: Fighter wing reports ready to launch on your command.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
COM:  Entity:  This is the USS Tal-War, Captain Kyrron speaking.  What is it that you think you are doing?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: Acknowledged.

Host JimS says:
COM: Tal-War:  Ridding the universe of scum like you vermin

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Self: What a sweetheart....

Capt_Bradee says:
@::finishes priming the charges and starts walking away to avoid being caught in the explosion::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::quietly:: CO: Torpedoes and fighters ready, shields at 100 percent.

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: I am running a scan now of the entity and the area of the hatch.  I will let you know if anything changes.

Host JimS says:
ACTION: The Seeker suddenly changes course and turns directly into the Tal-War

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
COM:  Entity:  How unfortunate.  I hereby advise you that our duty is to stop you taking more innocent lives.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
COM:  Bradee:  We don't have much time left.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::adjusts course quickly:: Self: Oh, come on, you can do better than that...

Host JimS says:
COM: Tal-War:  Be gone with you ::Fires full phasers directly at the Tal-War::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Fighters launched?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: Awaiting the order Cap'n.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::engages evasive P7X 462:: All: Hold on to something.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Launch fighters!

Host JimS says:
ACTION:  The Tal-War takes a direct hit, with phasers more powerful than any ever known, but miraculously, little damage is done, except to the fighters

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: Launch fighters, orders are to fire upon the Seeker at random targets on her hull.

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: The spot is weakened and will crack in approximately 112.69342 seconds.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Fire torpedoes.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
<CAG> *CTO*: Fighters launched.

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Capt I cannot keep us from being damaged

Capt_Bradee says:
@COM: Kyrron: Captain...the charges are set!  Here we go!

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::presses buttons:: CO: Torpedoes away.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: Firing phasers

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::nods::  CTO:  Fire at will.  You know what to do.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
Com:  Bradee:  Get clear!

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::activates firing pattern Sierra 1 and watches as the Tal-War launches 15 torpedoes and independent targets including the weak spot and fires from 4 of her 6 phaser arrays::

Host JimS says:
ACTION:  As the charges and the torpedoes both go off about the same time a large chunk of crystal falls away and a transporter lock is achieved

Host JimS says:
COM: Tal-War: You will not take my food!

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: I got a clear lock.

Capt_Bradee says:
@::ducks and covers his head as the explosives detonate::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO/CSO:  Begin transport!

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::initiates transport::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Begins transport::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Keep firing.  We are vulnerable with our shields down for transport.

Host JimS says:
COM: Tal-War: You shall all die....wait, who's that?  Who are you?

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
*Wanderer*:  Is that you the Entity is sensing?

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>COM: Seeker:  You should know Father

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: Aye Cap'n. :: repeats the firing pattern::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer> *CO*: Yes Captain...the game begins

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::notifies medical although they've probably already noticed::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO/CSO:  Status of transport?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Almost there....

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*Fighters*: Red leader, Blue leader, maintain formation and open fire!

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Sensors pick up a large body in the way of the Seeker

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Are they aboard....we must leave soon

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Identify!

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: We have the last of them, we can raise the shields.  Working on an identification.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
*Wanderer*:  Leave?  We have to stop him from attacking Earth.

Capt_Bradee says:
::felt the familiar feeling of a transporter beam as he left in a swirl of blue light and suddenly appears in a transporter room on the Tal-War::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Turns the scans onto the large body ::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::activates Firing pattern Sierra 2:: *Fighters*: Red leader, take 5 fighters and concentrate on the weak spot.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Shields up.

Host JimS says:
ACTION: Phasers lance out from the Seeker and the fighter force is cut in half

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::raises shields:: CO: Shield up.

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: It appears to be a large asteroid, possibly even a planetoid with an iron core.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Iron core?  How fortunate.

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: I agree.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Set course for the asteroid.  Keep it between the Seeker and us.

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Capt, I suggest you prepare for a visitor

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Have the fighters rendezvous with us behind the asteroid.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  And keep firing while we're running.  ::grins::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Aye ::sets course::

Capt_Bradee says:
::steps off the transporter padd to allow others to be transported aboard and doing so he pats himself to make sure he is still "all there"::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: have the rest of your squadron report for launch and the fighters already launched to rendezvous with the Tal-War.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
*Wanderer*:  A visitor?  ::doesn't like the sound of that::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: My father is about to come aboard...be very careful

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Engage.  Maximum impulse.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::directs Engineering to start locking down their systems::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::fires all launchers and phaser arrays which can bear on the seeker::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::engages at max impulse::

Host JimS says:
ACTION: With that, the bridge is bathed in a brilliant prism like light and there stands the Entity....looking remarkably like the EMH

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CSO:  Find a way to contain that.  ::gestures at the entity::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
<CAG> CTO: Remaining fighters reporting ready for launch at your command.

Host JimS says:
<Seeker>CO: Be silent woman ::gestures and knocks Kyrron into the wall::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: begins working on the internal force fields to try and contain the entity::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::hits the wall with an "oof"::

Host JimS says:
<Seeker>ALL: Where is he?  Where is my "child?"

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::remains defiantly silent::

Capt_Bradee says:
::walks out of the transporter room and into a turbo lift and orders it to the bridge, he needs to be involved in what's going on::

Host JimS says:
<Seeker> :: looks around the bridge and notices something he's never seen before, an animal?::

Host JimS says:
<Seeker>: ALL: What is that?

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Status of the Seeker?

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>: *CO*: Captain I will be there soon

Capt_Bradee says:
::the turbo lift doors open and he exits and walks onto the bridge, trying not to draw too much attention to himself::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: Cap'n the Seeker appears to be undamaged and is charging some kind of weapon.

Host JimS says:
<Seeker> ::Notices Bradee:: Bradee: you will not give away my secret!  ::gestures and Bradee is encased in crystal::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Stay on course.  Get us to that asteroid.

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Works furiously trying every combination that he can think of to try and trap the entity before it does much damage::

Capt_Bradee says:
::tries to say something but is quickly encased in a bubble of crystal, unable to move or speak::

Host JimS says:
<Seeker> FCO: What is this object?

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
Seeker:  Maybe that's our little secret.  ::glares::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Seeker: It's a wolf and if you don't watch it he might bite your head off...

Host JimS says:
<Seeker>CO: You are just like Bradee....foolish

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::grins at Shania::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
Seeker:  Why don't you find yourself another hobby.  This one is getting boring.

Host JimS says:
<Seeker> :: turns to look at the creature again and waves his hand, encasing the wolf in crystal:: Not now he won't

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::feverishly taps at his console sending a message to the CSO that he has an Iron Gas Composite on standby that could seriously damage the entity::

Host JimS says:
<Seeker> ::Gestures and a crystal gag appears over Kyrron's mouth:: CO: That's better

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: It's as if the Seeker's weapons have been tied in together to fire as one massive blast.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::nods at the CTO and gives him a meaningful look as she returns to her chair::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Raises an eyebrow at the message that comes up on his console, then responds to use it::

Capt_Bradee says:
::his thoughts stir around in his head as he is unable to move a muscle.  He wishes he had at least been in a comfortable position before the Wanderer encased him in this crystal bubble::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer> ::appears behind Seeker and waves his hand as the crystals of Seeker disappear::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>Seeker: Here I am Father

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::activates her console as she watches the Wanderer greet the Seeker::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>Seeker: What do you want Father....your time for vengeance is over

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
Self: Great, a family reunion, just what we need ::rolls eyes::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>::glances to make sure the wolf is okay:: CO: Captain I think you better clear the bridge

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
All:  Lock down your stations and report to TIC.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Transfer helm control to TIC and make them aware of our destination::

Capt_Bradee says:
::shakes off the excess crystals that remain on his body::  CO: Captain, we need to work on reversing the absorption affect that the entity uses and feedback it's energy.  This may be the only way to beat it...

Host JimS says:
<Seeker> ::waves his hands and the exits are sealed:: ALL: You're going nowhere

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::transfers helm control then locks down helm::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::orders the computer core to be evacuated and flooded with the Iron Gas composite before securing his station and heading for the TL::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>: Seeker: Yes they are!  CO: Go!

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Locks down his station and prepares to go only to see the doors blocked by crystal:: All: Not again.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CSO: That door there!!!!!!

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::gets up and pats Teebo on the head to follow her::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
::Sees where the CTO is pointing and runs towards the open door::  CTO: Thanks.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::checks to be sure internal sensors continue monitoring the bridge and heads for the exit::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::follows CO::

Capt_Bradee says:
::slowly heads for the door as the others rush by him to get off the bridge::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>CO: Captain, you know what you must do!  Look to your heart

Host XO_Jameson says:
::Suddenly appears behind Bradee, and rushes with the flow of people::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::had set the Tactical control to fire at will on the seeker with everything at the Tal-War's disposal::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
*Transporter Chief*:  Transport us all to TIC immediately.

Host JimS says:
ACTION: The crew is transported to TIC

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
All:  Take your stations.

Host XO_Jameson says:
::Arrives at the TIC in a shower of transporter sparkles::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
XO:  Monitor what's happening on the bridge.

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Captain listen to Capt Bradee!

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
<Teebo> ::growls at the people around::

Host XO_Jameson says:
::Takes her position in the command circle::  CO: Acknowledged Captain

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::takes Tactical and unlocks it, monitoring the bridge on internal sensors::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
:: Arrives in TIC::

Host XO_Jameson says:
::Begins to runs as many sensors on the bridge as sensibly possible::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::looks around for Captain Bradee::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>Seeker: Now Father we will settle this.  Why did you leave me?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::takes helm::

Capt_Bradee says:
:: repeats his statement to Kyrron:: CO: Captain, we need to work on reversing the absorption affect that the entity uses and feedback it's energy.  This may be the only way to beat it...

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::calls for the wolf, not that that ever worked::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::nods at Bradee::  CSO:  Did you get that?

Host JimS says:
<Seeker>Wanderer: Because you were dangerous to my plans

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: I am on it, Ma'am.  Give me a second to complete the calculations.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CO: That last volley did some damage to the Seeker's hull, there's a crack spreading from the hatch.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CTO:  Keep shooting if you can.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
FCO: Where are we, relative to the asteroid and the USS Seeker?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::targets half of the torpedoes at the hatch and let's everything else on the rest of the hull::

Host JimS says:
ACTION:  A comm signal comes through and Starfleet command can be heard ..... saying that they can't get any help to the Tal-War....she's on her own

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: We almost reached the asteroid. The Seeker is about 3.000m behind us.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::nods::  FCO:  Stay on course.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::is seriously considering self-destruct::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
CO: Aye

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::continues firing::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Captain, you have approximately four hours before Earth is destroyed.....my parent has discovered a super weapon.....it's aboard the Seeker!

Host XO_Jameson says:
::Continues to monitor the situation::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>: *CO*: Captain, it will make Galahad IV look like a party

Capt_Bradee says:
::hopes the Tal-War's science officer can figure out a way to reverse the absorption rate and send it on back...wishes he paid more attention to his science classes at the Academy::

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
*Wanderer*:  Understood.

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
::begins sending a message to SFC regarding the four hours and the super weapon::

Host JimS says:
<Seeker>Wanderer: You fool, nothing can stop me...they will pay...others are coming in answer to my call

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: I am getting data back, but it is a very complicated signal.  I will need time to analyze it and get the power ratios right.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::begins concentrating all weapons on the area where the hatch is and firing full volleys at it::

Host JimS says:
<Wanderer>*CO*: Capt, you must destroy us both, my Father and I..he has called others of my kind

Host CO_Capt_Kyrron says:
CSO:  The fate of Earth, indeed, all civilization depends on you.  No pressure.  ::grins::

CSO_Ltjg_Semaj says:
CO: None taken.  I am working as fast as I can.

Host XO_Jameson says:
::Listens to the interaction between the CO and Wanderer, as well as monitoring the sensors, feeling the dread of impending doom fall upon her::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CSO: Flood the bridge with Iron Gas, see what that does.

Host JimS says:
