Last Time on the U.S.S. Tal-War…

Host Martijn says:
The captured AT members tried to reason with T'Ran, unfortunately T'Ran was less then impressed and seemed to ignore their comments. Ensign MacAllister finally got through to him and traded codes for the Tal-War's shields for “freedom”. We join the Tal-War crew as they continue to try and discover what is exactly going on.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ ::watches T`Ran closely::

Host T`Ran says:
@ ::nods at the guards to accompany him further into underground base::  *Launch bay*: Prepare the runabouts, we're on our way....

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ :: Lying on the floor in the back corner of the cell, apparently resting although making next to nothing in the way of sound or noise. ::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ ::as the guards lead him out he pauses momentarily and looks the XO straight in the eyes::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::on the bridge at a console::

Host T`Ran says:
ACTION: Sensors on the Tal-War discover MacAllister's coded attempt and security measures slide into place, sending false sensor readings back.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Looks up:: OPS: report status anything weird going on?

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
::at station keeping track of the CO and FCO::

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Senses a type of message from MacAllister, and reviews what she's sensed from him in the last hour::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ ::follows the guards as they lead him to the shuttle bay::

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: It looks like someone may be attempting to bypass our security protocols Sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::needs coffee::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Any idea who that might have been?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks around hopefully::

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Holds a hand to her head, as she gets so many conflicting messages, but attempts to make her movement look like only a mild headache::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::spies a replicator::

Host T`Ran says:
@ ::glances behind his shoulder gesturing the CTO to follow him::  CTO: We have things to attend to and you have promises to keep, Mr. MacAllister.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ :: Tobius' resting body remains almost lifeless in the corner of the cell ::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ :: Nods and follows T`Ran::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Check again, ensign. If somebody tries to hack the system the computer would kick in and send a fake signal that shields would be down.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::heads over to the replicator::  Computer:  Coffee. Columbian.  Black.

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Turns to speak through the situation with Wuer, to find him in the corner of the room, unmoving, and starts to call for assistance::

XO_Jameson says:
@ All: Medic! Guard, we need a Medic!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::waits while a steaming mug of coffee materializes::

Host T`Ran says:
@::enters the launch bay and nods in agreement to his lackeys who seem to manning the runabouts quickly::

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Kneels next to the body, her mind sensing something not quite right with the situation::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::picks up the mug and brings it towards his nose::

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::heads of the holding cell and glances at the CSO::  XO: What's wrong with him?

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Also, her head starting to pound a little harder with all the forced messages it has been receiving::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ ::quickly takes mental note of the situation, how many guards, where they are etc::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
:: The Wuer symbiont tries to communicate with the XO, as the Tobius host remains lifeless.::

XO_Jameson says:
@ Guard: I'm unsure. I can't find any signs of life.  He needs a medic!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::inhales the aroma and closes his eyes::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: There might be something going to happen, keep your eyes on the sensors. ::looks at the direction of the CNS:: CNS: how's the coffee?
CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Smells good.  Want some?

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::shakes his head::  XO: He's not my responsibility, besides, when we succeed you'll be with your friends soon enough... ::grins::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::heads back to his station with the mug::

XO_Jameson says:
@ Guard: Speak with T'Ran, fast.  We had an agreement.  My men have the right to medical care.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands at his station sipping his coffee::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: well, I got a small crisis on my hands and Coffee makes me very uptight. ::looks at the viewscreen::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Any thing I can do to help?  ::continues sipping his coffee::

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Aye Sir. ::resignedly stares at displays::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Well, I'm currently waiting for what's going to happen, but you could contact the CO for me and ask if he has anything to report?

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::raises en eyebrow and seems to be annoyed by the XO's comment::  *T'Ran*: Sir, we seem to have a problem with one of those Starfleet officers... he may need medical attention...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Will do.  :;sets down his mug::

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Lets out her held in breath quietly::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Come in Captain.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::moves to TAC and checks sensors:: self: okay, let's see who wants to play today?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ ::overhears the communication:: T`Ran: That'll be the Science Officer, he hurt his leg. ::Chuckles::

Host T`Ran says:
@::enters one of the runabouts with the CTO and nods::  *Guard*: Deal with it, I have other matters to attend to, Soldier.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CO*:  Luchena to Irvin.  Respond.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  No response.  Are they still on sensors?

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Attempts to listen to the communications, while starting to perform CPR on the CSO::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks up at OPS's direction:: OPS: Where is the CO?

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard>::shakes his head soflty::  XO: All Right, carry him out of the cell while I remove the force field...  ::draws his weapon as he disables the force field, pointing the phaser at the XO::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
<Symbiont> XO: ~~~ Don't worry my host Tobius, he is not completely dead, I hope this may be an answer to our problem. ~~~

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
::checks scanners::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::picks up the mug from the floor and drinks it down::

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Working out some interference, Sir.

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Ceases the CPR, and tries to take the CSO's weight, without possibly harming him more, not knowing exactly what the symbiont has done to him::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Can you try to sense the captain, commander?

Host T`Ran says:
@ ::quickly moves his hand of the control panel as the runabouts power up::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::frowns::  CIV:  I could try.

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Got them, Sir, they are still progressing in the forest trying to pick up a trail.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ ::takes a seat at the tactical station::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries but is too jazzed up on coffee to concentrate sufficiently::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Are their commbadges working?

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Carries, and slightly drags, Wuer to the force field, and looks up gratefully to the guard.::  Guard: Thank you.  Might you possibly assist me in carrying him?  ::Smiles meekly at him::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  No luck. ::shrugs::

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::gestures to the floor outside of the holding cell::  XO: Now lay him down on the floor and step back into the holding cell yourself.

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: I have a positive feedback on commbadges, Sir. They may not be able or willing to speak at the moment.

Host T`Ran says:
@ *All teams*: Launching in one minute... prepare yourselves.. weapons on full power, attack formation Alpha 3 once we've cleared the atmosphere.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::grins:: CNS: Okay, we tried. Their still in the forest. ::looks towards OPS:: OPS: Get a lock on them. I think we'll beam them onboard as soon as trouble starts.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::logs back on to his console::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Anything in particular you'd like me to monitor?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ ::Brings up the tactical display::

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Gently lays Wuer on the floor, using her already removed jacket to wipe his face before stepping back into the cell::  Guard:  You won't be gone for very long will you?
CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ <Symbiont> XO: ~~~ If my plan works this could be what we have been waiting for, look for any chances to make a move. ~~~

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: My sanity? I mean look for any shipping, I have this gut feeling something is gonna happen.

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
::adjusts controls and makes sure TR is ready::

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::activates the force field once again::

XO_Jameson says:
@::Desperately wants to let the Symbiont know that not everything is as it seems with MacAllister::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods and configures console for tactical::

Host T`Ran says:
ACTION: As T'Ran pushes the necessary buttons the large doors of the launch bay open and reveal a clear path into the sky.... they're ready to depart...

Host T`Ran says:
@::activates the shuttle's engines and flies the runabout out of the launch bay::

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
::still worried about the attempted tampering::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::monitors tactical sensors::

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Suddenly fears what MacAllister is planning to do, and that he doesn't put himself to huge amounts of risk::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks towards OPS and smiles, then looks back to his console::

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::picks the CSO up and makes his way to sickbay::

Host T`Ran says:
@::glances at the CTO::  CTO: Now, Mr. MacAllister... what would be your course of action ?

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Is now all alone in the Cell, without the guard outside, and if left to worry, wishing there was some kind of distraction::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::checks comm systems:: CNS:  Anything on sensor?

Host T`Ran says:
ACTION: Following T'Ran lead runabout the rest exits the launch bay, all heading towards the Tal-War... 6 runabouts coming to visit them...

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ T`Ran: We need to proceed with extreme caution; the Tal-War will be able to pick us up as soon as we leave the atmosphere.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Checking.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ <Symbiont> :: The Wuer Symbiont senses that the body is being moved, hopefully to a medical facility. ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Ummm....

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  There is a launch in progress.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@ T`Ran: Your best attack vector would be from above, I'm programming in the firing co-ordinates for the propulsion systems ::enters some commands::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Type of vessels and set the ship to red alert. I'll make a fighter squad ready.

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
::goes through Red Alert procedures::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Aye. :: Activates red alert, then turns his attention to the vessels::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Six Federation Runabouts.  Armed to the gills.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Open a channel to lead vessel if possible.

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Channel opened Sir.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: I want them disabled not destroyed. Aim for weapons then propulsion.

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::arrives with the CSO in sickbay and lays him on one of the biobeds for the medical assistants to look at him::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  There are six of them.  I'll do what I can.  Are you launching fighters?

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
COM: Runabouts: This is Commander John Exeter of the USS- TalWar, please state your business and your intent.

Host T`Ran says:
@::ignoring the incoming channel he nods at the CTO to lock weapons the Tal-War::  COM: Runabouts: Once we're in range, open fire on their propulsion systems, we don't want to escape...

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: First we go through the standard Diplomatic chatter then they tell their intent and we blow them out the sky.

XO_Jameson says:
@ ::Takes her hair out of the twist it was in, and tries to soothe her frayed nerves, and concentrate her mind, my combing it with her fingers::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
# T`Ran: Let me speak to them, if they know I'm aboard they won't dare fire.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  The fighters are better prepared for this type of combat.

Host T`Ran says:
ACTION: The CIV's communication is met with plain static.....

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: They are getting us but not responding, Sir.

Host T`Ran says:
@ <Guard> ::heads out of sickbay, leaving the CSO alone with the medical staff::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: I rather not lose any fighter pilots, but I guess your right. Launching two squadrons now. ::taps a few buttons on his console to prepare two squadrons for launch.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries to determine distance to the Runabouts::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ <Symbiont> :: senses that the host body is no longer in motion, realizes that although the host will appear dead, sophisticated scans if used may show life signs from within. ::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
# T`Ran: It'll let us get closer, then even if they do somehow manage to get weapons back online it'll be harder for them to target us.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  They'll be in weapons range in 2 minutes.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*TIC*: Launch two squadrons and intercept the runabouts. I want them disabled not destroyed.

Host T`Ran says:
# ::nods at the CTO::  CTO: You better be right, Mr. MacAllister or you've lost your worth as you humans say...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the tactical map::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: That comm Channel still open?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#COM: Tal-War: CIV: Commander Exeter This is Ensign MacAllister acknowledge please.

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Yes it is Sir.

Host T`Ran says:
ACTION: Two squadrons of fighters exit the shuttlebay and quickly make their way towards the 6 runabouts, with weapons hot.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
# ::repeats the hail::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: I guess it is, ensign. ::looks at the viewscreen:: Com: MacAllister: What's going on, Ensign?

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: We only have audio, Sir.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looking at the approaching runabouts:: self: why with every comm do I look at the viewscreen.

Host T`Ran says:
#COM: Runabouts: We'll handle those fighters first... lock weapon them and disable them as quickly as possible...

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: I figured that now Ensign, but thanks for telling me ::smiles::
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
COM: Tal-War: CIV: There's no need for alarm Sir, there was a misunderstanding, the Vulcans have agreed to bring the away team and the missing team back to the Tal-War, Please call off the fighters.

Host T`Ran says:
ACTION: As the Kaneda Fighters come into weapons range their phaser array's slash at the incoming runabouts, rocking them severely.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::raises an eyebrow::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  They've engaged already...

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Suggestion, is he lying?
CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
# ::pretends to mute the com but doesn't:: T`Ran: WAIT. If we open fire now they'll know something’s wrong.

Ops_Ens_Santos says:
::We heard the XO and CTO but never Tobius::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Are you doubting his loyalty?

Host T`Ran says:
#::grumbles, glancing behind his shoulder::  CTO: You better be quick... or we'll have nothing to defend here...  ::boosts power to the shields::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Hey, I'm SFI I doubt everybody’s loyalty eventually. :;grins::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  If you want to command, you must learn to trust your crew.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
COM: TW: CIV: I'm sending you a manifest. Stand by.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
Com: Mac Allister: Tell the vulcans to power down their weapons.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
# ::sends the CIV the shield frequencies for the lead runabout masked in a fake crew manifest::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ <Symbiont> :: Feels unsure as to whether their is anyone else in the room, but decides to kick start the hosts vitals, and sldo tries to communicate with the XO to inform her. ::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at CNS with a smile on his face:: CNS: for a counselor humor is a weird concept isn't it. :: Recalls the fighter, but orders them to stay alert::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::tries not to roll his eyes::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
#T`Ran: It worked, he's calling them off.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::checks manifest and sees the Shield frequencies and grins:: CNS: Match our weapons to slice through those shields. I want all the hostiles in my brig disarmed. And I want MacAllister in the CO's office.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ :: Tobius' eyes open and he tries to look around his location without moving, to ascertain if any of their captors are around. ::

Host T`Ran says:
# ::nods::  CTO: Excellent, now close that channel so we get closer and give them surprise of a lifetime.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
# ::Closes the channel and discreetly feels under the console for the standard phaser::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
@ :: Slowly turns his head to get a better view, but trying to be as discrete as is necessary ::

Host T`Ran says:
ACTION: The Kaneda Fighters return to the Tal-War as the six runabouts continue their course to the Tal-War, having weapons on hot standby they wait for the perfect opportunity to present itself. Meanwhile, the CSO awakens in sickbay wondering how quickly he can free himself and meet up with the XO…
