:: standing at a console, starting to feel a chill ::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::sitting at the helm::

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: at the Tactical station, shooting at the tractor beam emitter ::

CO_Quchant says:
CTO: get that emitter

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::sitting at the science chair, trying to find a way to shake the tractor beam::

ACTION:  The CTO is making some headway with the Emitter.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::walks onto the bridge:: CSO: You requested some assistance, Ensign Amuz?

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CEO: I need more power to the thrusters.

CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Throw everything you've got at it

CO_Quchant says:
XO: Modulate the shield frequencies

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::looks up:: CIV: Yes, Commander, Since you have been exposed to this Borg technology before, perhaps you can assist me in disabling it

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Working on it Sir.

ACTION:  The Ops station lights up with an incoming call.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
CO: Will do. :: fires all phaser banks and launches all torpedoes ::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::sitting at the engineering station trying to give to power multiple systems::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: I have some Operations experience, shall I man the console?

CO_Quchant says:
CIV: on screen

 CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::moves to the OPS console:: CO: On Screen, Mr Captain Sir.

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: Afternoon.  what can we do for you?

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::Still trying to maneuver free of the tractor beam::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: I will assist. Please send the data to my console and point to where exactly you need help.

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  Afternoon to you too.  I'm Capt Orgina from the USS Rothchild.  I understand you may need some help?  The Borg have gotten a little out of hand?  ::Sees someone out of dress on the bridge::  Ummmm Capt....do you always have....ummm... you know, naked people on your bridge.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
Self: Only in happy hour.

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: It's the entertainment.  Crew Morale etc.  Can you help us out a bit please?

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: Will do ::sends the information regarding her hypothesis on how to repel the tractor beam by making the hull less 'sticky' ::

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  Well I don't know....I've got at golf game at 1600 hrs and it's.  ::looks at the chronometer:: 1555 hrs... and I'm 20 mins out....I maybe able to squeeze you in.   What is the situation Captain?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::gets the CSOs note:: CSO: Ensign... sticky? As in my Grandma's reeb-berry trifle?

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CIV: Try reversing the polarity of the hull plating.

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: There's a borg wormhole on the surface.  We've managed to knock over a mountain and partially obscure the aperture.    That got their attention.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: It might work. CTO: You want to try that?

ACTION: Suddenly the Tal War is free of the tractor beam.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
Aloud: It wasn't me.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: If the surface of the hull is constantly chang- ::notices the tractor beam is off:: Never mind.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: continues to modulate the shield frequencies ::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::feels a jolt as the ship breaks free:: All: Whoa!

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: Anytime I can help.

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: We've been orbital bombarding the surface to try and wipe them out

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  That is quite the feet Captain.  I hope to hear about it sometime. ::Gives the order for the task force to go to impulse::  We should be there soon.  I have 7 ships with me.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: looks at the console and wonders if it was something he did ::

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: Come and join the party

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Captain, if they target the remains of that mountain range they might not need as much firepower

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  We are coming up on your port side.  The Rogers has dispatched their fighters and are now going to make a strafing run on the planet.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::sometimes hard to focus on the console, leans in a bit::

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: The borg appear to be centered on the northern continent

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  Have your tactical officer coordinate with mine.  We will come in firing.   Orgina out.

CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Co-ordinate with the task force and let's close that wormhole

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
CO: Establishing a link with their tactical systems now...

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CTO: Ensign, use these coordinates for optimal damage

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
Self: These fighters are getting in the way of my phasers!

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::starts to feel more comfortable now that there are three federation vessels in the fight::

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
CSO: Acknowledged. :: enters the new coordinates and continues the assault ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::leans in more to the console, then moves away a second::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: fingers fly over the console to keep the shields in modulation ::

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Position us over the wormhole on the planet

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::notices the CIV, her expression changing to confused::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Again?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::rubs his eye then looks back at the console::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: Commander Idrani, are you alright?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: Er yes, Ensign, just struggling a little with my sight.

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Yes, again.

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: Reconfigure the deflector dish

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::moves the ship over the wormhole:: CO: I hope it works this time.

ACTION:  Sensors come alive with the incoming task force.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: I see.... ::thinks:: Self: No pun intended. ::looks at the CO:: CO: Aye Captain, reconfiguring the deflector dish

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::continues to monitor all systems::

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: Have it transmit microwaves

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: Ramp the power up to as much as the emitter will take.

CO_Quchant says:
CEO: I want maximum power to the deflector dish

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: A har...dy...har....HAR. CO: Captain, I don't think I can use this console comfortably. Perhaps there is another task I can see to.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CSO: You're planning on cooking them to death?

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Yes actually

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Transmitting microwaves and ramping up the power as much as I can, sir.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: Acknowledged Sir...   ::diverts the additional power::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::changes the emitting pattern to Alpha Beta Two One which gives a more wide range::

ACTION:  The ships of the task force take up position around the Tal War.  They wait for further orders.

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Rotate our X-Axis....point us directly at the surface

CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Is the task force in position yet?

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
CO: Just arrived, waiting for orders, sir.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::notices that Commander Telgar looks rather stunning without any clothing::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::adjusts the ship's position and attitude::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::blinks and wonders why that fact is of any consequence::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::moves over to the CSO and speaks quietly:: CSO: Ensign... why is the XO naked?

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: Let's cook them.... Fire it up

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: Naked? ::looks up at the XO:: Oh, I didn't really notice. ::taps her console:: CO: Emitting the microwaves now, Captain

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: You should have the co-ordinates, let's wipe them out.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: You didn't..... notice?

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::imagines the borg cooking on the surface:: All: Mmmmmmm Extra crispy.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: No, Commander. I have no romantic interest in females, only respect

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: We're trying something with our deflector dish.  We're trying to cook their biological components with microwaves

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Those were our people, Commander.

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  We have our firing patterns ready...you fry 'em, we will blow 'em.   The fighters are concentrating on the portal trying to collapse it.  We would appreciate you give them 2 mins to get out of the way.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: Huh you what now? I just asked... never mind. I'm too tired.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CIV: "Were" Being the operative word, there's nothing we can do for them now.

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: Too late...already on "barbeque".  We're directly over the wormhole

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Still, a little respect for the lost souls.

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  They are heading out.  Fire away.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CIV: Lost souls... Fallen comrades... however you wanna dress it up they're still borg now! They're not who they were.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: seeing as it's coming down to cooking borg in masses, changes phasers to widebeam settings and the torpedoes for the maximum area of effect ::

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: It's probably better this way

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
FCO: Agreed.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: That was nearly me, and I lost a few friends in this. Maybe being a part of it makes me more sensitive to it, but I feel it's too soon for jokes.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::wonders if Commander Telgar exercises to have such firmness of her body::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::notices the CEO eyeing up the XO and gives him a stare::

CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Continue firing weapons while the deflector dish ramps up power

CO_Quchant says:
CEO: How's the dish holding up?

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::wonders why all the men keep looking at the XO:: Self: Perhaps she had a certain flair when using the console

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CIV: Again, "Nearly" being the operative word... if we could "Save" those people as well I'd be looking at it a little differently but we can't so just get off my back and let me work.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
CO: That's the plan.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::looks down at the console:: CO: All systems nominal Sir.

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: Increase power to the deflector dish

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::sighs at the FCOs comment::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Aye, Captain. ::increases the power:: CEO: Ensign Silek, I need more power, can we take power from any other system?

ACTION:  The surface of the planet is heating up.  The last strafing run of the fighters collapsed the wormhole by 75%.  Chaos reigns on the surface as the drones get completely cut off from the collective.  Several remember their old lives and welcome death.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: I'm sure you wouldn't feel that way if it was Commander Telgar down there. Enough said.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CSO: I shall attempt to do so without affective life support systems.... I can get some from more secondary systems... ::looks to the CO and XO for confirmation::

CO_Quchant says:
::nods at the CEO::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: nods at the CEO::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::notices the CO's nod and the XO's lovely legs::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::momentarily balls up a fist then releases it and taps at his console::

CO_Quchant says:
CTO: We've almost got  them.  keep it up

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::diverts the additional power:: CSO: We have the additional power.

Capt_Orgina says:
ACTION:  The console the CEO is working on explodes and he is thrown back and knocked unconscious.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Sir, the surface is heating up, the anomaly has collapsed 75%.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: nods as he keeps on pressing buttons to shoot at stuff on the console ::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
:: falls back on the floor::

CO_Quchant says:
::Ducks from the debris:

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::looks back at the console:: All: As if we don't have enough problems!

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*Sickbay*: Medical Emergency on the Bridge.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::increases the power and looks behind her:: Aloud: The CEO has been injured!

CO_Quchant says:
XO: Grab a medkit

ACTION:  Several of the systems are overheating, a couple becoming critical.  The deflector dish is now shaking the ship.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: grabs the emergency medical kit and runs to the CEO ::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::dreams of Commander Telgar::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::shakes in his seat as it rattles on the deck plating::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::holds on to the closest console::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Sir, the deflector dish is taking strain, we might need to reduce power again

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: Shut down the dish

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: kneels down next to Silek, takes out a hypo to press it to Silek,s neck ::

ACTION:  Another console explodes and the CTO goes flying landing on the Captain.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::wakes up and has a view that he was not expecting::   XO: I am dreaming... or am I awake?

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Back us off

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::powers down the dish slowly::

CO_Quchant says:
XO: Where's the damn medics

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
Aloud: Yeaaaa!

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
*Sickbay*: Do you still have that 2 for 1 sale? Second Medical Emergency on the Bridge!

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CEO:  You are quite awake Ensign.  Are you functional?

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: We're starting to take major damage..we're going to have to back off.

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: I thought you'd never ask. ::backs the ship off a bit::

ACTION:  The medics burst onto the bridge and immediately trip over some debris.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
XO: Functional for what purpose Commander... ::looks down::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::moves away from any console::

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: gets up :: CO: Excuse me.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CEO:  Are you able to return to your duties?

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: helps the medical team up ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
MO: Careful now.. oh too late. ::offers his hand to help him up::

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::nods and stands:: XO: Aye Commander.

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  Understood.  ::Trying to stay in his own chair::  Back off.  Our deflector dish is ready to go.  Maybe a rotational bases is best.  If you can be ready in 5 mins you can take over again.  Firing on the surface.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: nods and stands back away from the CEO ::

CO_Quchant says:
CEO: Reroute the console operations

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: run a diagnostic on the dish

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Captain, our deflector dish is powered down

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: Aye Sir.... rerouting now.  ::begins the task and wonders why he is distracted::

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: Get it ready to go again in 5 mins

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: walks back to her console and begins tapping at it ::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: Can I assist you?

ACTION:  The Rothchild takes over firing on the surface.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Aye sir. ::begins running a diagnostic to see what went wrong:: Perhaps next time we should increase the power more uniformly

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: looks at his console and sees that his PADD isn't working anymore either ::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::watches the Rothchild firing on his sensor array::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: I would not say no, Commander ::gestures to the secondary console:: please check the results of this- ::pauses:: CO: Captain, there is a power build up in the wormhole, it is going to explode

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  While we have a few moments, I'll just slip into something a bit more appropriate.  :: indicates her ready room ::

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Get us out of range

CO_Quchant says:
XO: Go quickly. 30 seconds

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::nods and starts-a-checking::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: nods and runs to her ready room ::

CO_Quchant says:
COM: Orgina: There's a power build up in the wormhole.  It looks like it's going to explode.  Withdraw to a safe range

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: I'm on it but with the deflector offline we're restricted to impulse. ::moves the ship away at maximum impulse::

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: I cannot estimate when it will explode though, Captain

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: once inside, replicates an extra uniform and slips into it. :: Self:  Much better.

CO_Quchant says:
CEO: Full power to the impulse engines

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: So you're saying it could be now or next week?

ACTION:  the Planet begins to implode...debris flies into space hitting the shields of all the ships.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::nods:: CO: Full power now Sir 

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::clears throat:: CO: Ye- um, well it could implode now

CO_Quchant says:
::gets shaken about in his seat::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
Aloud: Imploding? Better out than in, I always say. Still, this will do.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: walks quickly back onto the bridge and to her console ::  CO:  Sorry it took so long, Sir.

CO_Quchant says:
CEO: Full power to shields

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::frowns:: CO: Aye Sir....  ::alters the power setting::

ACTION:  Several of the ships of the task force get caught in the wake and are dragged towards the planet surface.

CO_Quchant says:
XO: Maybe we could all try that later

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
Aloud: Can anyone borrow me a PADD?

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: smiles at the CO and looks back at the console ::

CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Can you get a tractor beam on one of those ships?

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::throws a pad a little too hard at the CTO::

Capt_Orgina says:
@COM:Quchant:  Captain, are your transporters working!?!?  We need to get those people off the ships.  We have three being pulled in.  My crew have already begun beaming.

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CIV: Do you think the deflector dish is ready to be used again?

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: nudges aside a crewman and uses a secondary console as his new tactical console ::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
:: notices the ships being pulled towards the planet and attempts to get locks on the people inside the ships ::

CO_Quchant says:
XO: Get them off the ship

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CSO: I'd say yes, judging by these readings, but perhaps not for as long as the last time.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
CO: Attempting to do so now. :: attempts to get tractor beam locks on the ships ::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CO:  Working on it Sir!

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
CO: Perhaps if we extended shields around those vessels we could initiate transport.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: gets hit in the back of his head with the CIV's handheld ::

CO_Quchant says:
CEO: Good idea

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CTO: Oops?

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Get in range

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::extends shields::

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
Outloud:  Got 'em!  Energizing!

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
CO: Captain, we are ready to power up the deflector dish again

CO_Quchant says:
CSO: get it up, let the conn know when it's up so we can go to warp at an instant

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Ok but we're going to have to make this quick. ::moves the ship closer to the other stricken ships::

ACTION:  The planet completely implodes.  Those three ships are sucked in.  The rest of the ships got most of the crew off those ships.  If the Rothchild and Tal War don't move fast they will be sucked in also.  It seems that a small star is about to be formed.

CTO_Ens_Koval says:
:: ignores the hit and continues his attempts with the tractor beam ::

CO_Quchant says:
All: Holy hell....

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Get us out of here

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
FCO: Let's make like a banana and split.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
All:  Awww sh.....

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::powers up the deflector dish:: CO: Ready, sir.

CO_Quchant says:
FCO: Warp one now

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
CO: Make your mind up dammit! ::Pushes the impulse engines to their limits::

FCO_Cmdr_Foster says:
::hits the big button marked "Warp"::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::watches the view screen as the planet falls apart and they move further away::

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
CO: Captain, I'd like to suggest a memorial for those who were lost.

XO_Cmdr_Telgar says:
CIV:  That is a great idea Thalev.

CO_Quchant says:
CIV: Let's get out of here and make sure we're not among them

CSO_Ens_Amuz says:
::quietly:: CIV: They did not die in vain, sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Idrani says:
::nods to the CO and then turns to the CSO:: CSO: I wish that were true.

CEO_Ens_Silek says:
::hopes the rift will be sealed::
