This was the final mission of the U.S.S. Titan, you can follow the continuing adventures of the Titan crew with their new ship, the U.S.S. Arondight, in U.S.S. Arondight Stardate 10301.12.

Host Bafii says:
The Dragon had just stopped from the torpedo

Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< Attention Please >>>>>>>>>>

Host Bafii says:
Before tonight's mission, I would like to take a moment to remember a departed friend.

Host Bafii says:
Pat Offenburger was a great player, mentor and friend.  His absence will be sorely missed by those that knew him and those that were not lucky enough to get the chance.

Host Bafii says:
Please join me in a moment of silence to remember Pat.

Host Bafii says:
Thank You

Host Bafii says:
Prologue:  The Titan, along with the rest of the fleet are preparing for their final strike against the dragon,

Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Status of the fleet?

OPS_McDuggle says:
::at OPS console collecting detonators frequency::

ACSO_Rien says:
::at the science station still monitoring the energy levels of the dragon::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: every things ready sir

CTO_Williams says:
::Monitoring tactical, preparing for another huge volley of torpedoes and phaser fire::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Watching the screen at his station in the shuttlebay as the dragon begins to turn back toward the star::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Changes position in her seat.  Feeling restless::

ACSO_Rien says:
CO: Captain the energy levels have dropped but I'm not sure for how long.

Host CO_Loran says:
ACSO:  I'm hoping they will stay down as long as he doesn't eat.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The dragon is moving towards the star, but so slowly that the movement is barely noticeable.

FCO_Chottu says:
::at flight control, keeping track of the dragon and ships::

ACSO_Rien says:
::nods to the Captain::

CTO_Williams says:
CO: I'm ready with another barrage, at your command sir.  I'm out of options.

XO_Madson says:
::riding the Turbolift to the bridge, PADD in hand::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: COM’s are open sir

Host CO_Loran says:
::nods to OPS::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Wonders if a second star collapsing torpedo might not just do the trick::

XO_Madson says:
::steps onto the bridge, uniform appears clean, but face has been unshaven for weeks on end.  walks over to his position::

OPS_McDuggle says:
::sees the XO:: XO: good to see you sir

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Looks at her son:: ~~~XO: Good to see you. ::adds sarcastically:: You're looking good! ~~~

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Dragons speed is slowly growing.  It is currently moving at 1/10 impulse.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Fleet:  This is our final stage of our attack.  We will be dropping our warp cores in its face.  Medb, since you are wounded, you should go first, since it seems the dragon can hardly move.  She is to be followed by the Anu, Nagas, Sebek and finally the Titan.

ACSO_Rien says:
::looks up at the XO and wonders if the Captain will notice his beard::

XO_Madson says:
OPS: Good to see you as well.
~~~CMO: Good to be back on the bridge.  But at least I am making some good progress on my work. ~~~

FCO_Chottu says:
::notices the dragon is still moving and speaks to the dragon on the screen:: Softly: Why so slow, did the torpedo hurt you, you really want that star don't you.

Host CO_Loran says:
::notices movement to his right and turns to see his XO at his position::  XO:  Good to see you, Commander.  Starting to grow something?

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
~~~XO: Really sorry to hear about your fiancée. ~~~

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: relies the detonator frequency to the CTO:: CTO: here are the frequencies you need

XO_Madson says:
::rubs his face with a bit of surprise:: CO: I...hadn't realized.  ::smiles::  Anything I can do to be of help?

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir all ships signal that they are ready

XO_Madson says:
~~~CMO: Well, I hadn't told anyone yet.  How do you know? ~~~

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Medb moves into position, ready to make its pass of the Dragon once the order is given.

CTO_Williams says:
OPS: Thank you... implementing now.  ::Enters Frequency signals into the Tactical computer::

ACSO_Rien says:
::looks at the readings and sighs:: CO: Sir, the dragon is picking up speed as it approaches the star.

Host CO_Loran says:
XO:  Yes, start coordinating with the fleet and find out how bad the Medb is.  Once we finish with the dragon, I want help sent to her.

Host CO_Loran says:
ACSO:  That isn't good.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM:  Fleet:  Medb, you need to start your run now, as the dragon is moving faster now.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
~~~XO:  You WERE a bit upset.  Not something you could keep from your mother. ~~~

Host Bafii says:
<MCO Miller> COM: Titan:  Understood, we are on our way.

XO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  ::saves his work on the PADD and switches it to a diagnostic readout of the Medb.  Then switches his panel to bring up the fleet::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
~~~XO:  The rumor mill on this ship is fast.  She might have mentioned it. ~~~

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Frequencies readied sir, at your command.  :: Taps some buttons ::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Medb, moving at full impulse, gracefully flies a few thousand kilometers in front of the Dragon.  It seems to take no notice of the ship.  It drops its warp core and moves away, back to the rest of the fleet.

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir calculation show that the dragon will reach the star in 2 hours

Host Bafii says:
<MCO Miller> COM: Titan:  Run successful.  Medb out.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  I want them detonated once it has taken all of the cores inside it and we have gotten a good distance away from it.

FCO_Chottu says:
::hears the com:: Self: That's one.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Of course, at your command, sir.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Dragon, sensing the energy in front of it, strains to reach the core and consumes it.

XO_Madson says:
::sends a message to the Medb's OPS requesting current damage and injury report::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::After hearing Miller's voice:: Self:  I wonder how their injured are doing?

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Medb:  Start heading out of this area and we will catch up once we have dropped all the cores.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Fleet:  Anu, start your run.

Host Bafii says:
<ACO Allen> COM: Titan: Understood.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Anu executes a similar move to the Medb, dropping its core about 5,000km in front of the dragon and backing off.

XO_Madson says:
OPS: Have a repair team standby for transport, bring supplies but nothing for the critical systems.  They seem alright.

ACSO_Rien says:
::keeps a close eye on the sensors and the energy levels:: CO: Sensors show no change in the dragon yet.

Host Bafii says:
<ACO Allen> COM: Titan: Done, moving out.  Good luck Titan.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Remembers the Basuki again and wipes away a tear at the thought.  Will miss that Captain.::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Fleet: Nagas, once the dragon consumes the core, start your run.

CTO_Williams says:
::Looks over to the CMO, and back to the viewscreen::

FCO_Chottu says:
::keeps the Titan heading for the star, flying parallel to the dragon, watching the other ships swinging in front of the dragon one by one::

Host Bafii says:
<NCO Naucho> COM: Titan: Will do Captain.

OPS_McDuggle says:
XO: Roger Sir I will have a crew ready :: contacts repair crew to stand by::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Watches as the dragon consumes the core, hoping this will work, because if it doesn't all the ships in the fleet will be powerless to try anything else.::

XO_Madson says:
CMO: I need a medical team ready for transport.  Not too many are needed.  They have a lot of wounded, no dead.  Any serious injuries will be taken care of there, I think the rest can be either handled by their staff or transported to our ship.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Dragon, moving perhaps a bit more agile, consumes the second core.

ACSO_Rien says:
CO: Captain, the second core has been consumed now. Still no change in the energy levels.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Nagas moves in, drops in front of the Dragon and drops its core, a move that is become old hat for this fleet.  As the Nagas moves away, the Dragon consumes the third core.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
XO:  I'll assemble a team immediately.  Should I come also?

FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Sir, the dragon is speeding up and it's movement seems to be more and more, well, fluid as well.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Fleet:  Sebek, start your run and wait in the area in case we need some quick firepower if the cores do not work.

Host Bafii says:
<SCO Dayton> COM: Titan: Acknowledged, starting our run.  I hope this works.

XO_Madson says:
CMO: You should stay here and take care of the serious injuries that come in.

CTO_Williams says:
::Makes a quick check of all weapons and defensive systems::

XO_Madson says:
CO: Medical and Repair teams standing by to assist the Medb.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The galaxy class Sebek glides into place and ejects her core.  It turns and moves back to a position where it can keep its weapons to bare on the Dragon.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
*Sickbay*, Candice: Could you have a team of four meet at Transporter 1 ::glances at Scott for confirmation:: and have Ms Madson be part of it.  Good experience for her.

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir the Sebek has made her run

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Dragon greedily eats the fourth core, still continuing on course for the Certalah star.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
<edit **>

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Plot your course in front of the dragon.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Get ready to eject the core once we pass in front of the dragon.

FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Chottu says:
Self: Here goes..

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Already on it sir

ACSO_Rien says:
::watches the bridge crew as they prepare to meet the dragon face to face::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Start the run.

ACSO_Rien says:
XO: Energy readings are still the same.

Host CO_Loran says:
::sits down in his chair and watches the viewscreen::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Changes position again and wipes a bead of sweat off her forehead::

XO_Madson says:
::nods at the ACSO::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Notices the others in the shuttlebay appear nervous, his antennae definitely detecting changes in there body temperature::

FCO_Chottu says:
::hits the fitting keys while he speaks:: ALL: Starting our run.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the FCO relays commands to the ship, the Titan begins its run, a glimmer of light in the darkness of space.

CTO_Williams says:
:: Ready the console, all the warp cores linked into one large console button labeled "Fire".  It pulses and flashes a steady red, a menacing color, for all the destruction linked to it::

ACSO_Rien says:
::looks at the viewscreen and grips the sides of her console tightly in anticipation::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Titan finds itself in front of the Dragon, practically staring the beast in the eyes.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Get ready to drop the core.

OPS_McDuggle says:
::sees the ACSO action:: ACSO: relax Lt. you could get hurt that way

CIV_Thorin says:
::Mutters an Andorian Curse at the Dragon as it fills his small viewscreen::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Rubs her temples and figures the high level of tension is affecting her::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Ready sir

FCO_Chottu says:
CO: We're in position sir, now or... or after we get eaten.

ACSO_Rien says:
::smiles half heatedly at McDuggle::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  A little closer.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Looks at Chottu and thinks that's not very funny!::

FCO_Chottu says:
::mutters:: Self: Closer, sure, why not, the mouth's not open, we'd just hit it's nose.

OPS_McDuggle says:
::waits for the CO signal::

CTO_Williams says:
::Stares blankly at the "Fire" button, and back up to the viewscreen, waiting::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Finds himself holding his breath, wondering how much closer there going to get::

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Veer off..........now.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  Drop the core.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Holds her breath::

FCO_Chottu says:
::tail twisting and turning faster and faster, eyes glued to the sensors:: CO: Aye sir!

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: dropping core now:: releases core::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Titan is successful, the core is ejected and they are moving away from the Dragon.

ACSO_Rien says:
::looks down at her console and notices something:: CO: Captain, sensors show a small energy spike within the dragon now.

Host CO_Loran says:
FCO:  Back off back to the Sebek.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Suddenly the entire ship shudders as the crew are thrown about the deck.

CIV_Thorin says:
::breathes an audible sigh, as do others around him::

XO_Madson says:
::monitoring the position of the fleet, and watching the view screen nervously::

FCO_Chottu says:
Self: I hit it oh my I hit it!

OPS_McDuggle says:
::grabs console to try and stay up right::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Grabs one arm of her chair a little late and lands on the floor::

ACSO_Rien says:
::loses her grip on the console and goes flying across the deck, landing up against the far wall::

Host CO_Loran says:
::lurches from his chair and hits against a wall.::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Looses his balance and land in a clump on the deck::

CTO_Williams says:
::Grabs the console, as the ship shudders::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: One of the unmanned consoles at the back of the bridge explodes.

FCO_Chottu says:
::jumps back up and looks at his console:: CO: We're stopped, no movement!

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I am registering an increase in the SIF

XO_Madson says:
::holds on to the chair, but the PADD slips out of his hand and flies to the front of the bridge::

ACSO_Rien says:
::groans slightly and tries to right herself ::

Host CO_Loran says:
::feels a sourness in his shoulder as he slowly gets up::  Anyone:  What was that?

CIV_Thorin says:
::Pulls himself to his feet, looking around trying to determine what happened::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: checking now sir

Host Bafii says:
<SCO Dayton> COM: Titan: Are you alright?  Shall we engage?

ACSO_Rien says:
::slowly gets up and makes her way back to her console rubbing her arm::

CTO_Williams says:
::Looks back up, and calls up status reports, and shield status::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Shakes her head and looks around at the sprawled officers::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Sebek:  Can you tell us what happened?

CIV_Thorin says:
::Attempts to pull up the main viewer on his monitor screen::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Dragon's tail has caught the Titan, twisting around the ship and slowly tightening.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
ACSO:  You okay?  Nothing broken?  ::Pulls herself back into the chair::

Host Bafii says:
<SCO Dayton> COM: Titan:  It just reached out and grabbed you.  I've never seen anything move that fast.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
~~~ Scott:  You okay, sweetheart? ~~~

ACSO_Rien says:
::pushes the buttons trying to get a sensor reading:: CMO: I don't think so, just a banged up arm.

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir I believe that the dragon has caught us with it's tail

CIV_Thorin says:
::The answer lies before his eyes, just outside the shuttle bay doors he can see a portion of the dragons tail::

FCO_Chottu says:
::hanging over his chair and finds out the same as what he just heard::

CTO_Williams says:
CO: The dragon has seemingly wrapped it's tail around us!

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Sebek:  Attack close to the area that has grabbed us, making sure you take into account the explosive force of those quantum’s.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The Dragon, after consuming the last warp core, turns slowly around, the Titan still clutched in its tail.

XO_Madson says:
~~~CMO: Sweetheart....ugh...I was alright, but now I am starting to feel a little sick to the stomach. ~~~

Host Bafii says:
<SCO Dayton> COM: Titan: Aye, here we come.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Hears reports of injuries coming in:: Sickbay:  Wounded will be coming in shortly.

ACSO_Rien says:
CO: Captain, we're losing the aft sensor pallet because of the stress on the hull.

FCO_Chottu says:
CO: The dragon is turning, I can't move us!

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CIV* : have you kept up with what is going on

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Smiles at her son:: ~~~XO:  You're fine! ~~~

Host CO_Loran says:
CMO:  Doctor, maybe you should head to sickbay if there are not life threatening wounds up here.

CIV_Thorin says:
*OPS* Aye Sir, the tail is blocking exit from shuttle bay one.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
CO: Yes sir, just going now.

FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Sir, impulse engines are starting to overheat, I can't keep pushing away..

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Heads for the TL, enters, still watching the viewscreen as the door closes::

CTO_Williams says:
CO: I think reversing the polarity of the shields may repel the dragon's tail.  That is, if the dragon is as energy based as we hoped.

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CIV* : do you think that if we electrify the hull that it would get the dragon to release us?

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the Sebek moves in to attack it fires a few torpedoes at the tail.  The Dragon, feeling the sting, turns and blast the Sebek with a weakened version of the fire breath.  The Sebek is heavily damaged.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Try that, but, remember, we don't have the power we once did after ejecting the core.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Similar to magnets of similar polarities pull apart.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Titan's shields fail.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Implements the plan.. and notices the shields flickering::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: shields are down

CIV_Thorin says:
*OPS* It might.  We might be able to depressurize the bay and fire some of the shuttles phasers out the bay door too.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The TAC and OPS consoles explode, showering the room with sparks.

ACSO_Rien says:
::looks at the CTO and bites her lip::

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Shields gone sir...  ::Coughs on the smoke and sparks, and notices his sleeve on fire::

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: backs off console as it explodes::

CTO_Williams says:
All:  Medic!

CTO_Williams says:
::Attempts to beat the fire out on his sleeve::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Enters sickbay to see it full of wounded::  Nurse: Current report please.  ::Takes the arm of the nearest waiting patient and heads for one the biobeds::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Impulse engines cross the red line.

Host CO_Loran says:
::sits back down in his chair and looks at the reports::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Makes a run for the nearest shuttle, signaling the rest of the bay crew to evacuate the bay::

XO_Madson says:
CO: Captain, hull stress is increasing.  Hull breach in 5 minutes.  Do you think we have enough power in the phaser banks to sting it a bit?

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CIV* : get it ready and I will ok it with the Captain

ACSO_Rien says:
::moves over to the OPS station and releases the fire suppression controls::

OPS_McDuggle says:
ACSO: Thank you

Host CO_Loran says:
XO:  The dragon doesn't even notice phasers.  It only notices quantum torpedoes.

CTO_Williams says:
ACSO: Thank you!  ::Ignores the slight burns to his arm, and continues::

XO_Madson says:
CO: Ah.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Tactical Pod snaps off the ship and tumbles into space.

CTO_Williams says:
::Powers up a secondary station behind the now defunct tactical, and sets it up for tactical displays::

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: sir the Cadet and I have a  plan to try and get the dragon to release us permission to try

ACSO_Rien says:
OPS: Anytime, but this console is not going to work now. You can reroute to science one.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Sir, Tactical is back on-line... but we have lost our tactical pod!  It just fell off!!

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Suddenly there is an explosion on the viewscreen, the Sebek is gone.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Sir, I recommend immediate retreat, the moment we get out of here!

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS:  by all means.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
Wounded patient:  Just some lacerations, that should fix it.  Gertrude: Take that one and apply a cold pack to the bruises.

OPS_McDuggle says:
*CIV*: Cadet lets try it

CIV_Thorin says:
::Targets the phasers on maximum power, narrows beam, attempting to get a shot under the scales::

Host CO_Loran says:
::sees an explosion where the Sebek once was located::  ACSO:  Was that the Sebek?

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Sees her daughter, Joanna, out of the corner of her:: Joanna:  I thought I sent you to the MedB?

ACSO_Rien says:
::heads back to science one and checks the power levels:: CO: Yes sir, she's gone.

CTO_Williams says:
*CMO*: Ma'am, I could use some immediate medical help, my arms has some moderate burns.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The outer hull begins to breech, multiple areas are open to space.  Force fields are functioning to contain the breeches.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
<Joanna> CMO: Couldn't get to the Transporter in time. Wasn't my shift.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Sir!  Micro fractures all over the ship!  Minor breeches are starting on the outer hull!

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
CTO: Coming, I'll be there in a second.

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: moves over to the secondary science console and sets it up for operations::

FCO_Chottu says:
::completely blocks out the explosion fights the dragon .. with the Titans impulse engines:: Self: This won't save us..

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Grabs the med. bag and runs for the TL again::

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Fleet:  This is Captain Loran.  We have been caught by the dragon's tail and we are slowly being crushed.  The Sebek tried to help us, but, was heavily damaged.  To last knowledge, the Sebek has been destroyed.  All ships return to the area and look for survivors of the Sebek and possibly the Titan if we cannot escape its tail.

CIV_Thorin says:
::Decompresses the shuttle bay, keeping the shuttle secured as he does::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Titan's impulse engines explode, taking a few chucks of the ship with them.

ACSO_Rien says:
CO: Captain, the force fields are not holding. We're being systematically crushed.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Sir, I think we still have enough power to reverse polarity of the hull.  Same idea as the shields, but with the hull.. Permission?

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Looks around at all the wounded and stops::  Joanna: You go up to the bridge and tend to the CTO. Catch!  :: Tosses her medbag to her daughter who heads for the bridge.

Host CO_Loran says:
::feels another explosion::  ACSO:  What was that?

OPS_McDuggle says:
::sets the hull up and electrifies it::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Fires the shuttles phasers as debris goes flying out of the shuttle bay::

ACSO_Rien says:
CO: We've just lost the impulse engines!

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: There are more hull breeches and with the Titan now running on battery power, the force fields won't last long.

FCO_Chottu says:
::notices they lost their impulse engines and looks at the roof waiting for it the open up::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The phaser fire is ineffective.

CTO_Williams says:
::Reverses the polarity quickly, before the CO answers, as a last ditch effort::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
<Joanna>:: Enters the bridge to see burned consoles and locates the CTO by his burns.  Rushes to his side::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Channels all power from the shuttle into the phasers, attempting to get under the scales::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Electrifying the hull pulls too much power from the battery and force fields begin to fail.

Host CO_Loran says:
::has a bad feeling and knows that nothing good will come of this::  OPS:  Patch me into ship wide.

CTO_Williams says:
::Hurriedly taps buttons on the console, some burnt skin still on his arm, bleeding slightly::  Joanna: Thanks.  ::Smiles quickly and returns to his console::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
<Joanna> CTO:  I know it looks bad, but I'll have it fixed in no time. ::Smiles up at the officer and gently takes his arm::

XO_Madson says:
CIV: Cease fire.  We need that energy to stay alive.  The phasers aren't going to get us anywhere.  Transfer their power to the force fields.

ACSO_Rien says:
CO: Captain power level is falling fast. The backup systems are failing, battery power being drained.

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: you are ship wide now sir:: press the ship wide button::

CTO_Williams says:
::Taps at the console with one arm::

FCO_Chottu says:
::falls back into his chair:: Self: Well that's all I could do..

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Lights on the bridge begin to flicker.

CTO_Williams says:
::Monitors the reversing of the hull:: Self: It didn't work...

OPS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir suggest we detonate the core now

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
<Joanna> ::Carefully cleans the wound and uses a dermal regenerator, turning the arm as needed::

ACSO_Rien says:
:;moves down to stand beside the Captain:: CO: Sorry sir. :;lowers her eyes as a tear runs down her cheek::

Host CO_Loran says:
Ship wide:  This is Captain Loran.  The Titan is about to lose all power in the grasp of the dragon's tail.  Hull breaches all occurring all over the ship.  Everyone, evacuate the ship and head for the last known position of the fleet.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
<Joanna> ::Gasps and looks at Ryan in horror::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Hears the abandon ship announcement and cannot believe his ears::

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: coordinates the evacuation of the ship::

XO_Madson says:
Self: My research.  Computer: Transfer copies of all research related files to all shuttles and escape pods.  Authorization Madson-Beta-9.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
All in Sickbay:  Everyone head for the nearest shuttle and life pods.  ::Picks up a child and leads the staff and wounded to the nearest shuttle::

CTO_Williams says:
CO: I'm staying with you captain, to the end.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The computer begins repeating "All Personnel., Evacuate Immediately, This is Not a Drill"

CIV_Thorin says:
::Shuts down  t he shuttles phasers, attempting instead to get transport locks on any crew near the shuttlebay.::

Host CO_Loran says:
XO:  Have the core detonation transferred to my console.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
~~~ Scott:  You get yourself out of here!  And make sure your sister gets out too ~~~

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The fleet has returned, taking up positions far enough away from the Dragon but within transporter range.

CTO_Williams says:
Joanna: Thanks, that should be fine, you go get an escape pod, I'm staying here.

FCO_Chottu says:
::thinks hard where he can help the evacuation best::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO:  Lt., you will evacuate with the rest of the crew.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Crew begin beaming off the Titan to the various remaining ships.

XO_Madson says:
CO: Understood.  ::transfers core detonation commands  to the Captain's console::

ACSO_Rien says:
::turns to the Captain:: CO: Sir, you have to leave now. Have a remote detonation set up and set it from one of the other ships.

FCO_Chottu says:
CO: The rest of the fleet is within transporter range, people are being beamed off.

CTO_Williams says:
CO: Sir, you need my help until you yourself can get off.

Host CO_Loran says:
ACSO:  We don't have enough power or time to transfer the codes to another ship.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
<Joanna> Aren't you coming?  You can't stay!  ::Starts to follow some others out of the bridge and looks back at Ryan::

ACSO_Rien says:
::suddenly gets beamed off the bridge as she sees the Captain looking into her eyes::

CIV_Thorin says:
::Continues picking up life signs and transporting them to his shuttle until it cannot hold any more, pilots the shuttle out a small opening left by the dragons tail::

CTO_Williams says:
CMO: GO! Take her too!

OPS_McDuggle says:
:: sees that everyone but the bridge crew have beam off the ship :: CO: sir I have the codes recorded on this PADD:: hold up PADD::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Everyone is beamed off the Titan with the exception of the Captain who stands on the empty and nearly destroyed bridge.

ACSO_Rien says:
@::materializes on the Anu and rushes to the nearest view port::

XO_Madson says:
CO: Is there anything else you need?

CTO_Williams says:
::Stares at the Captain, and notices he himself, dematerializing:: CO: Sorry sir!.... ::Fades off::

XO_Madson says:
@Self: Blast.

ACSO_Rien says:
@:;says a silent prayer for the rest of the crew::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Finds herself on the Anu and looks around in the confusion::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Titan's senior staff materialize on the Anu's bridge.

Host CO_Loran says:
COM: Fleet:  This is Captain Loran.  I will set off the warp explosions from the bridge, hoping I still have enough power.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::materializes upon the Anu's bridge and walks to the nearest TL::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@:: Materializes on the Anu's bridge and heads for an empty console to see what is happening::

CTO_Williams says:
::Looks around the bright interior, not like the Titan, and assumes a position next to the Anu's CTO::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Sits down in his chair and looks at the big, red glowing button::

XO_Madson says:
@Anu CO: Keep a transporter lock on the captain.  The second he activates the warp cores, get him over here.

Host Bafii says:
@ <ACO Allen> XO: Don't worry, we have him.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Sees the senior officers and realizes she's on the bridge.  Desperately looks around for Scott and Joanna::

Host CO_Loran says:
Self:  Well, here goes nothing.  ::pushes the red button::

CIV_Thorin says:
#::Punches the shuttle to maximum as soon as he clears the dragon tail, heading toward the first ship he sees, notices other shuttles leaving from shuttlebay 2::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::steps into the TL:: TL: somewhere quiet.. crew quarters.

CTO_Williams says:
@::Stares at the Titan, so small to the dragon::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the cores begin to detonate inside the Dragon, it spits a fire ball in the direction of the fleet.  It mainly misses, but knocks out all power on the vessels.

Host CO_Loran says:
::does some finger shuffling of commands and tries to activate his emergency transporter protocol::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@:: tries to help get power back up ::

ACSO_Rien says:
@::watches the scene before her and curses that dragon under her breath::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Stares blankly around in the darkness::

CIV_Thorin says:
#::The shuttle is knocked sideways from he blast of the dragon, adrift with the loss of power::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As Captain Loran attempts to beam out, the console he is using explodes, throwing him to the rear of the bridge and knocking him out cold.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::feels the TL stop and notices the lights go out, sighs deeply:: Self: Well this is quiet.

ACSO_Rien says:
@:;turns to McDuggle:: OPS: Did they get the Captain off?

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: As the power comes back online of the fleet vessels, the viewscreen comes to like showing the Dragon with the Titan in its tail.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Immediately the Titan explodes with a bright orange light.

OPS_McDuggle says:
@ACSO: No they haven't that is why I am trying to get power back up

FCO_Chottu says:
@::sits down in the TL as power comes back online:: TL: I said mess hall.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Dragon, the explosions ripping through its stomach, begins to dim.

ACSO_Rien says:
@::screams:: All: She's gone!

XO_Madson says:
@ACO Allen: Did you get the captain?

CTO_Williams says:
@ALL: The captain!  Did anyone get him back!?

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the Dragon explodes in an expanding sphere of colors: red, orange, green, blue.

CIV_Thorin says:
#::Shudder and watches in horror, a numbness slowly spreading through his entire being::

Host Bafii says:
@<ACO Allen> XO: I'm sorry, our transporters just now came back online.

ACSO_Rien says:
@::rushes over to McDuggle:: OPS: The Titan's gone! Where's the Captain?

XO_Madson says:
@::looks back to the viewscreen::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@:: hangs head: ACSO: I am afraid he is gone

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: From a dark corner of the bridge, a low groan can be heard.

ACSO_Rien says:
@OPS: Nooooooo!!!!!!!!! ::falls against McDuggle::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::realizes he said something completely different when power came back online, shrugs:: Self: Doesn't make a difference.

CTO_Williams says:
@CMO: Where's Joanna?  ::Looks around::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@:: grabs the ACSO and helps her stand back up::

CIV_Thorin says:
#:: With great heaviness in his voice:: COM: Anu: This is shuttle Phoenix requesting permission to come aboard.

ACSO_Rien says:
@::cries uncontrollably::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@<Joanna> CTO: I'm here, Ryan!

XO_Madson says:
@::stares blankly into the viewscreen::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@:: Hears groan and looks to where it is coming from::

Host CO_Loran says:
::groans, his hands going to his head because of the pounding it is exerting::  Self:  what happened?

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@Runs to the corner where the groan came from::

ACSO_Rien says:
@::hangs on to McDuggle sobbing away::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@CO:  Captain?! Are you okay?

CTO_Williams says:
@::Grabs her arm gently:: Joanna: Whew, didn't know if you made it. ::Smiles slightly, despite the desperate times::

FCO_Chottu says:
@::steps out of the TL as the doors open and starts wandering down the halls::

ACSO_Rien says:
@::turns at the sound of a familiar voice::

OPS_McDuggle says:
@Sees that it is the Captain:: CO: Captain! it is really good to see you I thought we had lost you!

CIV_Thorin says:
#COM: Anu: This is shuttle Phoenix requesting permission to come aboard.

ACSO_Rien says:
@CO: Captain! You're alive!

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Scans the captain for injuries::

ACSO_Rien says:
@::squeezes McDuggle's arm:: OPS: He's alive!

XO_Madson says:
@:: turns:: CO: Captain! You're alive!  ::rushes to his side::

CTO_Williams says:
@::Standing by Joanna, turns and sees the captain:: CO: Captain!

Host CO_Loran says:
@::feels his head throbbing now with all the yelling happening::  CMO:  No, I'm not already.  Too much yelling and screaming and my head hurts.

CTO_Williams says:
@Joanna: I guess we did make it. ::Smiles::

CIV_Thorin says:
#::From behind him one of the shuttle tech begins working on the COM system to see what is keeping the Anu from answering them::

CIV_Thorin says:
#COM: Anu: This is shuttle Phoenix requesting permission to come aboard.

FCO_Chottu says:
@::stops, turns and leans with his back against a wall, staring across the hall::

ACSO_Rien says:
@:;smiles and promptly collapses from the stress::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Titan and the Dragon are gone.  The entire crew has been safely accounted for and the Certalah system has been saved.

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
::Smiles at the captain:: CO:  At least you're alive
