TO_Benson says:
::Standing on the Bridge at tactical one, tapping furiously at the console trying to get shields back online::

John says:
::In his quarters::

Host CO_Loran says:
ALL: Okay, what happened and do we have emergency power?

TO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, shields are offline.  Main power is offline.

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Emergency power is online, Sir.

John says:
::Feels the shaking of the ship and wonders what is going on::

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Do we have any scans on what hit us?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Checking now, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
OPS: Give me all the power you can spare for the shields, please!

OPS_Nichols says:
::Begins checking for any possible ways to get the Titan out of the well::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Thinks: Shields?  What about my engines?!::

OPS_Nichols says:
TO: You've got shields or weapons Raine, I can't give you both.

TO_Benson says:
OPS: I’ll take it for the shields, thanks!  ::Taps the console trying to get the shields as much power as she can::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Piloting shuttle to where Titan is to be::

TO_Benson says:
CO: Shields at 50% and holding, Sir.  I need more power to bring them to 100%.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: We were hit by one of the subspace distortions.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: How did it take out our main power?

John says:
::Wonders what the light show outside is about::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Send out a distress call and see if you can also warn others about those subspace surges taking out all main power.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The subspace surge shrinks and disappears as suddenly as it appeared.  Main power comes back online for Titan and the undamaged Romulan ship.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Power is back online, the distortion has disappeared.

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Sir, power is coming back online.

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sees the power come back online::  FCO: Get us out of the gravity well.

TO_Benson says:
::Watches as the shield power begins to climb and breathes a sigh of relief:: CO: Shield power is increasing.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CO: Aye, Sir, I'll try.

John says:
::Notices main power is back. Goes and slumps on the couch::

OPS_Nichols says:
CSO: Would a warp bubble lighten us enough to get us out of this?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Turns the Titan facing outward and gradually increases impulse engine output::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Picks up Titan on sensors and heads that way:: COM: Titan: Titan this is Lt Cmdr. James McDuggle, it looks like you could use some help.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Can you give me a read-out on the crippled Warbird and tell me what is wrong with it?

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Message from an incoming shuttle, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Put it on screen.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
OPS: A static warp bubble might reduce the effects on the ship and give us enough to break free.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Places McDuggle's COM on screen::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Scanning now, Sir.

John says:
Self: I hope I have done the right thing.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: CNS: Good to see you, James.  I have been expecting you.  You might want to stay out of the immediate area as we are experiencing some subspace surges that zap all our main power.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Sends out a warning regarding the subspace surges to all ships and bases in the sector::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan and the Kleshlon are straining their impulse engines and barely holding their own.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@COM: Titan: Aye, Captain.  ::Sets shuttle to station keeping ::

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: I can give you enough power for a static warp bubble if you want it.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Scans show that they have a degenerated power core.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@COM: Titan: Captain is there anything I can do to help?

TO_Benson says:
CO: Shields at 80% and rising.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Nods to OPS:: OPS: Sure, let's go for it.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* Do you have any experience with a Romulan power core?

OPS_Nichols says:
::Transfers power to the warp engines for the FCO::

John says:
::Leans up and thinks about his past 3 years on the Titan::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Attempts to create a warp bubble::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
FCO: When the bubble has surrounded the ship go to warp .6 that should break us free.

FCO_Jadahn says:
CSO: Understood.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* Some...why, Sir?

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* How long would it take either us or other Romulans to repair a degenerated core?

John says:
::Hopes Commander Madson can do a better job than he did::

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: Need a hand?

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* I can't say it depends on the degree of degeneration, if it's not bad about 30 minutes.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Reinforces the Structural Integrity Field::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan and Kleshlon have at least halted the Talon's decent and are now at a stalemate with the planet's gravity.

FCO_Jadahn says:
OPS: Actually, yes I could use a hand.  While I manage the warp bubble take care of the impulse engines, make sure they steadily increase output but don't let them overheat.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Open a COM to the Kleshlon.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Shield strength at 90% and rising.

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: I was thinking someone dedicated to assist you. ::Begins checking the impulse engines::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: If he hasn't been posted somewhere, I believe Jadahn could use Teasley's help with the warp bubble, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
FCO: Would it be possible for the Kleshlon to create warp bubble too?

OPS_Nichols says:
TO: I don't see why not.  They should have the same ability we do.

Host CO_Loran says:
*John* Could you go to Main Engineering and help Commander Fletcher with maintaining a warp bubble and possibly extending it around the crippled Romulan ship.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Opens a COM to the Kleshlon:: CO: Sorry for the delay, Sir, COM channel open.

FCO_Jadahn says:
TO: I'm not exactly sure.  Romulan warp drives are very different then ours.

John says:
::Hears the Captain and thinks I thought I just quit that job:: *CO* Sure thing, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
FCO: Just a thought.  ::Continues to monitor the shield strength::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: KTai: Is it possible for your ship to extend a warp bubble, Commander?

John says:
::Gets up and fixes his uniform and heads off the Main Engineering::

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: They still must have a way to protect their ships during warp travel.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@COM: Titan: Captain would it help if I tried to lock a tractor beam on the Romulan ship?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: If we extend the warp bubble around the Warbird we would have to go to full warp to get out of here.

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: A bubble of sorts should be formed.  They could use it the way we are using ours.

Host Cmdr_KTai says:
%COM: Loran: But of course.  We are working on that right now.  Does your ship not have this capability?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: If the Romulan ship creates a bubble of its own the warp frequencies would have to be identical and there is no guarantee that we get the crippled ship out.

John says:
::Walks nears Main Engineering::

FCO_Jadahn says:
OPS: We can ask them about it.  I have not had a chance to study a Romulan quantum singularity.

OPS_Nichols says:
COM: CNS: Please stand by, Sir.  I'll have an answer for you in a moment.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM:  KTai: Yes, we do.  We were about to initiate it as well, but we just wanted to initiate it the same time that you do.

TO_Benson says:
FCO: I believe the Captain is doing just that very thing right now.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@COM: OPS: Roger.

Host Cmdr_KTai says:
%COM: Loran:  You realize that if we do this without matching our warp frequencies, we will rip the Talon apart?  ::Looks sternly at Loran::

John says:
::Walks into Main Engineering:: CEO: Commander Fletcher?

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Is the gravity well too strong for shuttles to assist in our extraction of the crippled ship?

CEO_Fletcher says:
John: Commander?  What can I help you with?

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Hears the Romulan commander and then looks at his CO::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: KTai: Yes, that I do.  That is why I contacted you as well, so we can set up our warp frequencies.

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: The shuttle is wondering if we want use of their tractor beam, Sir.

John says:
CEO: The Captain sent me over here to help you with the warp bubble.

Host Cmdr_KTai says:
%COM: Loran: You would just give me such classified information?

CEO_Fletcher says:
John: Warp Bubble?  They're planning a warp bubble?

John says:
CEO: To encompass a Romulan Warbird that is damaged, to help pull it out.

TO_Benson says:
::Feels as though she has “stopped” in the Space-Time Continuum::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Sir?

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: KTai: Is it possible to get the Talon's power core fixed in time or would it have to be done at one of your Star bases?

CEO_Fletcher says:
John: Really?

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* What the heck are you planning?

Host Cmdr_KTai says:
%COM: Loran: The Talon's power core is beyond repair at this point.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Shield power 100% and holding, Sir.

John says:
CEO: Yes, Captain Loran sent me down here.

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CEO* We are making a warp bubble to lessen our load, so to speak.  If you look at a console down there you should see just that.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Hears the FCO and wonders how big a piece of his hide the CEO will take for that comment::

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* And when were you going to tell me this?  It doesn't show until you make it at that moment but you should have said something earlier.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* I don't see any other way of helping out this crippled Warbird, so send a transmission to the Kleshlon and send them our warp frequencies.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Sits in shuttle watching what is going on and thinks: This is great, I just get transferred to a ship and may watch it get destroyed::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Sir its not guaranteed that this will work.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: I understand but it seems the only way at this point.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* All right, Sir, but do you think that is wise?

FCO_Jadahn says:
*CEO* I apologize.  Now, let's work on this thing.

Host Cmdr_KTai says:
%COM: ::Looks at Loran in obvious surprise as the COM channel is still open::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Sir, if the Talon has no way of self propulsion, should we prepare to beam the crew to safety just in case?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: I just want you to understand all the risks.  We may all die.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: KTai: I think this should help out your crippled ship.

John says:
CEO: Want to get started?

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* When this is over and done I would like to talk to you, Lieutenant.

Host Cmdr_KTai says:
%COM: Loran: Indeed.  We will adjust our frequency to match.  Kleshlon out.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: I think the Kleshlon may have already done that.  If not, I don't think they would approve of us just beaming over the crew without their permission.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
::Scans for life signs on the crippled ship::

CEO_Fletcher says:
John: yeah, can you monitor the power output, when it reaches 100,000 terra joules tell me.  ::Points over to a console::

John says:
CEO: All right.  ::Heads over to the console::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Sir there are still life signs on the ship.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Send a message to the Kleshlon informing them that they might want to beam the crew of the Talon over to their ship in case this doesn't work.

John says:
::Watches the power output::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Fletcher says:
John: Thanks.  ::Goes over to the core readout::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: If it doesn’t work, Sir it might not matter where they are.

John says:
CEO: You’re welcome.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@COM: OPS: I am still out here if you need me.

OPS_Nichols says:
COM: Kleshon: If this doesn't work the Talon will need to be vacated as quickly as possible.

TO_Benson says:
::Listens intently to everyone's comments, back and forth, back and forth.  Shakes head::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Sir?  The shuttle is still waiting for an answer regarding their use of a tractor beam.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* Did you transmit the engine frequency to them?

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: The Kleshlon acknowledges, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Inform Commander McDuggle that I appreciate his help.  It would be for naught, as his shuttle would not make it out of the well.

John says:
CEO: Power output at 100,000 terra joules.

OPS_Nichols says:
*CEO* The channel is open for you to transmit as the CO ordered you too.

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* Okay, here. ::Transmits the current warp frequency::

OPS_Nichols says:
COM: CNS: The Captain appreciates the offer but your shuttle would not make it out of the gravity well.  ::Watches the warp frequency transmit over the channel she had open for the CEO::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The Kleshlon signals that they have received the frequency and are ready to deploy the warp bubble.

CEO_Fletcher says:
John: Okay, push in the yellow button then the blue.  That will lock the output.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: I want you to watch any communications coming from either Romulan ship that is directed out of this area.  If our frequency gets out of here so quickly, we might not be able to stay here.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@COM: OPS: Roger, I will be here when you get out then and you have my prayers. ::Is frustrated by not being able to do anything::

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: The Kleshlon is ready, Sir.  Yes, I'm sitting tight on all communications, Sir.

John says:
CEO: Right.  ::Pushes the yellow and now the blue button::

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Synchonizes settings with the Kleshlon:: *CEO* I've synced with the Kleshlon.  You should have all necessary specifications now.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* Are we ready to deploy the warp bubble?

CEO_Fletcher says:
*FCO* Got it.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors show that Kleshlon is having a hard time holding the proper frequency.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* Yes, all ready.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* Okay, deploy the bubble.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: The Kleshlon can't keep a tight hold on the warp frequency.

TO_Benson says:
::Switches her display to monitor the progress::

FCO_Jadahn says:
OPS: Do you have a channel still open with the shuttle?

John says:
::Watches the panel output on the shield bubble::

OPS_Nichols says:
FCO: Yes.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

OPS_Nichols says:
::Watches the power fluctuate slightly from the warp field::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Kleshlon deploys their warp bubble to envelope the Talon.

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Deploys  warp bubble::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's warp bubble joins with the Kleshlon's and Talon begins to move.

John says:
CEO: The bubble is working.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: The Kleshlon has deployed their warp bubble.  It is covering the Talon.

FCO_Jadahn says:
::Smiles as he sees the operation working::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO: Okay, work with the Kleshlon and get that crippled ship out of there.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: The Talon is moving.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The Talon moves surprisingly quickly and is out of the planet's grasp in a matter of minutes.

TO_Benson says:
::Watches her monitor as the ships begin to move away from the planet::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
FCO: Increase to warp .8 due to the extra mass.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* Once we have cleared the gravity well with the crippled ship, lower the warp bubble.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The Kleshlon shuts down its warp bubble and locks a tractor beam onto the Talon.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: All clear, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Commander K'Tai signals his thanks and prepares to depart with the Talon.

Host CO_Loran says:
*CEO* Shut down the warp bubble and return to normal operations.

CEO_Fletcher says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  ::Drops warp bubble::

John says:
::Gets Main Engineering back to normal function::

CNS_McDuggle says:
@::Sees the ships clear the gravity well:: COM: OPS: This is LtCmdr. McDuggle, permission to come aboard?

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Cmdr. K'Tai sends his thanks.  The Kleshlon and the Talon are ready to leave the area.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
::Wipes the sweat from his forehead::

CEO_Fletcher says:
::Reconfigures some systems to alter the warp frequency a little until they get to a Starbase::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Send a message to the Kleshlon and tell them that we are glad to help out our allies.

OPS_Nichols says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

John says:
CEO: Need any more help?

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Also, get that shuttle onboard.  ::Smiles::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The Kleshlon and the Talon depart the area.

OPS_Nichols says:
COM: Kleshlon: Always a pleasure to assist our allies.  Titan, out.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Permission to report to the shuttlebay and escort Cmdr. McDuggle?

OPS_Nichols says:
COM: CNS: We are clear and ready for you to come aboard.  Shuttlebay 1 is ready to receive you.

Host CO_Loran says:
TO: Yes, you may and show him to his new quarters.

TO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Thank you, Sir.  ::Turns over tactical to a relief officer then enters the turbolift::  Shuttlebay 1.

OPS_Nichols says:
~~~CSO: Well, that was an experience~~~

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
~~~OPS: Your telling me?~~~

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Okay, set sensors to find out what and where those subspace surges are coming from and what is triggering them.

CNS_McDuggle says:
@COM: OPS: Roger preparing to dock now.  ::Brings the shuttle around heads for the shuttlebay::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The Counselor's shuttle docks smoothly with Titan.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

TO_Benson says:
::Exits turbolift and enters the shuttlebay::

OPS_Nichols says:
::Lowers the field and opens the bay doors::

John says:
::Hates waiting for the CEO.  Heads back to his quarters::

Host CDMDave says:
