TO_Benson says:
::Standing at tactical two manning the phasers watching for any stray pieces of the asteroid to break off::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sits in his chair looking at the view screen and the mess that is happening::

CTO_Madson says:
::Running a simulation program at tactical one::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Monitoring the integrity of the asteroid at science station and trying to figure out if the structural integrity emitters can help::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Carefully piloting the Titan with the asteroid in a tractor beam::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Makes a minor adjustment in position relative to the asteroid to put a little less stress on the asteroid::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues to take readings on the asteroid::

TO_Benson says:
::Taps the console adjusting the sensors and watches the monitor::

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: Anything on our situation with the asteroid?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The asteroid begins to develop a large crack in its crust.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The asteroid's crack is enlarging.

FCO_Jadahn says:
ALL: If this thing holds together, we'll be ready to let her loose in about 2 minutes.

CTO_Madson says:
::Gets the computer to try and project the needed amount of structural integrity field emitters::

CTO_Madson says:
ALL: There is a large crack forming on the asteroid's crust.

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL:  Would a warp bubble around it stop the stress on the asteroid?

TO_Benson says:
::Hears the Captain say "warp bubble" and raises an eyebrow::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: All that would do is reduce its mass.  Unless we find a way to shore up its integrity, it won't make our calculated location, however I looking over my calculations again.

TO_Benson says:
::Continues to watch for pieces of the asteroid breaking off from the larger one::

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: How long would it take to transport fifty emitters into place on that asteroid?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: We could extend the bubble around 40 percent of the rock and reduce its mass for two minutes and 18 seconds.  The downside: once we let it go, it could still break into many pieces scattering into all directions.

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: Lieutenant?

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: Okay, it looks like we might not be able to use this asteroid as it may break apart and destroy the ship we are trying to help.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: Too long, about one minute and 48 seconds.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CSO: I have an idea, but I need to know if you think it would work.  What if we got a second tractor beam from the Titania?

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: We do have one minute and 54 seconds but that's cutting it way too close.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Any estimates on how long it will take the asteroid to break apart at the current conditions?

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: We have a few seconds to spare.  CO: Permission to start transporting emitters?

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: I wouldn't advise that.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CSO: And had each tractor beam hold one half of the asteroid then we could hold them together, put simply.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Calculates the possibility of using Titania::

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: At our current pace, it could break apart entirely before it even gets there.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The Alien ship begins to change course.  Its course will lead it closer to Titan in 1.5 minutes.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: If it took less than a minute, then it's possible.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  They only problem is what happens after we let it go?  We are supposed to not let the alien ship see our ships, so we don't break the Prime Directive.

TO_Benson says:
::Listens to the banter on the Bridge and continues to watch the asteroid on her monitor::

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: Perhaps we can slow it down till the emitters are in place?  Buying us more time.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: I'm not sure how yet, but we might be able to use Titania's cloak to our advantage

TO_Benson says:
::Notices the alien ship changing course:: CO: The alien ship has changed course, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: That's an idea.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Where is it heading?

TO_Benson says:
CO: The alien ship is on a course, which will bring it into visual range in approximately 1.5 minutes.

CTO_Madson says:
FCO/CSO: Perhaps we could transport them from a shuttle hidden behind the asteroid.  Then we could keep transporting even after we let go and then cloak as we depart.

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: What would our ETA be if we reduced speed to 1/8 impulse?

CTO_Madson says:
FCO/CSO: Nobody ever said we couldn't follow that asteroid and transport them along the way.

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: Okay people, that ship is heading near us.  I want to slow this ship and asteroid down and keep us on the opposite side of the asteroid from them.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir, I suggest an all stop!

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: If we stop suddenly, it will put more stress on the asteroid and possibly break it apart.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Sir, we could use the Titania to fly in behind the asteroid transport the emitters and then cloak and fly back out.

TO_Benson says:
CO: ETA to visual range, less than 1 minute.

CTO_Madson says:
::Hears the recent course-change-news and starts running new simulations::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: If we slowly decelerate to a full stop, the stress would be less severe.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's tractor beam emitter begins to superheat.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CTO: Or we could ride this asteroid the whole way.  Keep Titan on the opposite side and have Titania cloaked on the other side.  Then the two vessels could hold each half of the asteroid together!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir!  The tractor beam is superheating!

FCO_Jadahn says:
CTO: It would lessen the stress on the asteroid and the Titan.

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: I want the tractor beam cut and have the Titan moved in behind it and get ready for Warp if we need to.

CTO_Madson says:
FCO: But that asteroid is only 3/4 our size.  It won't hide all of us.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Alien vessel is now in visual range.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: If we position ourselves behind the asteroid far enough we would not be seen.

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: But, that would put more stress on our tractor beam.

CSO_Taliza says:
CTO: We need to cut our tractor beam.  Look at the emitter readings!  It's superheating!

CTO_Madson says:
CSO: If we were to control it that way.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Since no one shut the tractor beam off when the CO ordered it, the superheating melts and fuses several circuits, cutting off the tractor beam.  The asteroid is heading straight for the alien ship

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The asteroid is heading right at the ship!

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Raise shields.

CTO_Madson says:
::raises shields::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The alien ship changes course and appears to try to duck under the asteroid.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: I want to bump that asteroid and try and move it off course for the ship.  CTO:  Run a fast simulation on where we need to hit it.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Sir, the vessel is changing course to maneuver under the asteroid.  ::Has the computer check to see if that course change will miss it::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
*Engineering* I need an engineering crew to repair the tractor beam emitters.

TO_Benson says:
::Watches the monitor as the alien vessel changes course and moves under the asteroid::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Looks to the CTO::

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Shoot, it won't be enough though.  Checking your idea.  ::Runs a simulation on trying to bump the asteroid::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Would breaking the asteroid in half allow it to miss the alien ship?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It is unpredictable where the halves would go, Sir.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Sir, with their course change and our bump, it would work but our shield circuits would be damaged in the process.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Guiding the asteroid is our only option now, Sir.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: The Titania's tractor beam is fully functional and smaller than the asteroid

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: I don't care.  I just don't want that ship destroyed.  FCO:  Bump that asteroid at the specific coordinates then get us the Hell out of here at Warp 1.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Yes, but the Titania does not have the power to move that size of asteroid like the Titan does.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Nods to the CO:: CTO: Transmit your findings on the coordinates to my console please.

CTO_Madson says:
::Sends the coordinates to the FCO::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Prepares for ramming speed::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Perhaps we need a few precisely placed mines, Sir?  The shock wave from the explosions might be just enough to change the asteroid's course.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  See if you can tap into their internal communications and find out what is going on over there?

FCO_Jadahn says:
CTO: Coordinates received, plotting course.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I'll try, Sir. ::Attempts to hack into the alien vessel’s COM::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Do you want be to continue with the order?  ::Hearing alternatives being proposed::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Yes.

TO_Benson says:
::Shuts up again and monitors the asteroid::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Nods:: ALL: I'm increasing speed, prepare for impact.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I got in.  Their radio is low power at 30 megawatts.  I'm listening to them now.  ::patches transmissions into the universal translator::  They're panicking.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO:  Make sure everything is recorded so we can play it back once the computer has deciphered their language.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: They didn't expect that asteroid into their path.  No mention of us yet, though.  ::Starts recorder::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Bump that asteroid now.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I can't quite understand, but they're blaming some kind of diety.

FCO_Jadahn says:
ALL: IMPACT!!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Braces for impact::

TO_Benson says:
::Braces against the tactical console::

CTO_Madson says:
::Holds on to console::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Titan impacts the asteroid.  All main power goes out as consoles spark and circuits fry.  The smell of acrid smoke fills the dark bridge.  Sensors are offline.

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL:  Go to backups and get us out of here.

TO_Benson says:
::Coughs from the smoke::  CO: Sensors are offline.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I've lost their signal.  Attempting to re-establish.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::plots the fastest and most low-profile course out of the system:: CO: Course plotted out of the system.

CTO_Madson says:
::Sniffs the air and cringes at the new smells:: Self: Fried circuits, what a wonderful scent to fill a Bridge.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: Emergency power activates and backup sensors come online.  The asteroid is past the alien ship, but the ship is tumbling out of control.  Their structural integrity is failing.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The aliens are out of control!

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Where is that alien ship heading?

TO_Benson says:
CO: The vessel's course is now 258 Mark 2.  Their structural integrity is failing.

Host CO_Loran says:
All: I hate to do this but we are going to have to provide structural integrity for that ship.  How fast can we beam over those sonic devices that can disable the aliens?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Calculates time:: CO: Two minutes but the ship will break up in one minute, 12 seconds.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, we could set the emitters to emit a high frequency sound and run it through their radio.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Then set it up and hurry up with it, we don't have a lot of time.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps the console setting up the emitters then has the computer set to the alien ship's radio frequency::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Ready to emit the high frequency sound, Sir.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/TO: 50 seconds until the ship breaks apart.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Activate it.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Move closer to the ship.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Activating, Sir.  ::Taps the console activating the frequency::

CSO_Taliza says:
::monitors the passengers of the ship::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Extend a warp bubble around the ship and try to strengthen their structural integrity field.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Extends the warp bubble::

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: With all due respect, shouldn't I wait for confirmation that it worked?

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The high frequency signal resonates through the alien ship.  Sensors indicate that 98% of the population has been disabled.

TO_Benson says:
::Monitors the frequency::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: 98 percent of the passengers are unconscious.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Where are the aliens located that haven't been affected?

TO_Benson says:
CO: They are located deep within the ship, Sir.  Increasing the gain on the frequency.  ::Taps the console adjusting the gain on the frequency::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The warp bubble extends around 78% of the massive vessel, reducing its mass sufficiently so as to allow it to stabilize and stay together.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The bubble is working.  Seventy-eight percent enveloped and it's stabilizing.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: I want you to lead an engineering team over to that ship and try and use their technology to fix their structural integrity field and anything else that needs to be fixed and hurry with it.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CSO: Is there a way to sort of scramble their sensors?

CSO_Taliza says:
FCO: They have no sensors.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CSO: Good to know.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Even though they aren't all out yet?

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: We need to cut that signal in three minutes.

TO_Benson says:
CSO: I am aware of that, Lieutenant.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Rechecks the number of alien crew that are unconscious::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Set your phasers on stun if you run into any of them.  Lieutenant Benson will keep a lock on you and the team and tell you when you are going to run into conscious aliens.

CTO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  ::Pushes a few buttons having an engineering crew meet him in the transporter room and then bolts off the Bridge::

TO_Benson says:
::Brings up a simulated schematic on the tactical monitor:: *CTO* Just stay clear of Section 34 Alpha and you'll be fine, Sir.  ::Moves to tactical station one::

CTO_Madson says:
::Shoots into the transporter room:: *CO* Ready for transport.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CTO* Do it.

CTO_Madson says:
::Signals to have them transported:: *TO* Understood.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: How long will they be out once the signal is stopped?

TO_Benson says:
CO: Estimate time to revival is 20 minutes, Sir.  CO: I will need to cut the signal in less than 1 minute, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: And how long can we wait to use that signal again once it is cut?

TO_Benson says:
CO: We must give them at least 15 minutes to recover from the effects before initiating another burst of sound.  ::Monitors the Away Team::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Listens intently, his job for now is on pause::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The CTO and the engineers beam onto the alien ship.  Some aliens are laying on the deck, out like a light, and a few have what looks like blood seeping from what could be ears on a part of their bodies that look like necks.

CTO_Madson says:
@Crew: Grab what tools you can find and repair their structural integrity field on the double.

CTO_Madson says:
@COM: Titan: CO: Sir, some of the aliens over here have blood seeping from what looks to be their ears.  I am guessing this isn't normal.  I am sending tricorder findings as we speak.  ::Pulls out tricorder and starts sending the info::

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: The engineers scramble about the ship, careful not to step on any bodies and begin to repair the ship::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Receives info from the Away Team::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Suggest sending a medical team over to treat the wounded.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: CTO: I was afraid that would happen.  There are just too many for us to work on for what little time we have.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It seems the bleeding isn't serious.  Just from the high-pitched sounds.  They'll recover.

CTO_Madson says:
@::As the teams are repairing what they can, he walks up to a computer console and begins downloading their database onto his tricorder:: COM: CO: Understood.  By the way, I am getting as much info off of their database while I am here.  A little info on them wouldn't hurt.

TO_Benson says:
COM: CTO: Sir, you have 10 minutes remaining to complete your repairs before the aliens begin waking up.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, I cannot initiate another signal without it affecting the Away Team too.

CTO_Madson says:
@COM: TO: Acknowledged.

CSO_Taliza says:
TO: You think we can beam them off, send over another signal, then get our people back there again?

TO_Benson says:
CSO: Yes, we can do that.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: CTO:  See if you can hack into their flight control system and have it set a course away from this system so we can help them along with the warp bubble.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Revises the course he plotted earlier out of the system::

CTO_Madson says:
@Crew: Hurry it up.  We have 10 minutes.  ::Sets the tricorder down and helps with repairs while letting the tricorder continue downloading.  Looks up their flight control system and changes course:: COM: Titan: CO: Understood.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Match their course and speed.

Host AGMDave says:
ACTION: For such a large ship, the corridors seem extremely cramped, but the engineers are doing their best.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Takes the Titan on a parallel course and slows speed to match::
