::On bridge.::

Host Holitarn says:
::Looks baffled on the Bridge... it's not like the Military Detachment to be this desperate::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Slaving Tactical at OPS Console::

FCO_Jarek says:
::Goes over data transferred to this station from his quarters::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Stepping out of office in ME::  CPO: What is all the commotion about?

Civ_Knote says:
::Leans against bulkhead in Main Engineering watching Keorn get involved::

EO_Porter says:
::At the Engineering station on the bridge::

CEO_Keorn says:
<CPO> Keorn: There is a small dispute over the official name of the device you created.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Sir, I have some data here that might interest you.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Continue.

Civ_Knote says:
::Glad that he was able to fit in an interview with the big Klingon::

CEO_Keorn says:
CPO: That is easy, leave it up to CDT Jorlan and me, you are all dismissed I am sure 
there are other things that need attention.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: The alien ship is using what I believe to be Polaric Energy.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looking at the view screen as the ship comes into view.::

XO_Avaj says:
::Interested.::  FCO: Yes.

CNS_Arianna says:
::Sitting in office going over the psychiatric evaluations of all the crew::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: If so this would explain a great many things.

CMO_Mrai says:
%::On transport in his rooms, on way to Triton::  Self: I can't believe this, we've been looking for the Triton for two weeks and we can't find her, gee the Medical Academy most have put me on the worst transport in the Federation...

CEO_Keorn says:
*Maintenance Team 1*: How is the progress on the scans of the repaired sections.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Elaborate.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Polaric Energy uses negative and positive plasma Energy.

EO_Porter says:
::Begins a diagnostic on the warp core::

CEO_Keorn says:
<MT1> *Keorn* Just finished all systems show green light and no sign of sabotage.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: The catalyst for the main reaction is matter/Anti-Matter.

CEO_Keorn says:
*MT1* Alright, I would like a full report later today.

Civ_Knote says:
::Looks at his PADD and wonders if he can get a few moments with the counselor::

XO_Avaj says:
::Listening intently to Jarek.::

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the CMO is engulfed in some energy vortex. CMO appears on Triton's bridge in a warm, glowing hail of light much like a miniature subspace rupture.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: The Shields are online and operating at full power.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: That would explain the need to, let’s say, borrow some of our power

XO_Avaj says:
CMO: Greetings...and who might you be?

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the new Starfleet officer on the bridge.::

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Also used in a different way a very powerful weapon.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Understood.

CMO_Mrai says:
::Looks around::  What the heck, um excuse me where am I to be exactly?

Civ_Knote says:
::Leaves engineering on deck 33 and enters turbolift::

XO_Avaj says:
CMO: I am First Officer, Avaj of the USS Triton...who might you be?

EO_Porter says:
::Looks over his shoulder at the sudden appearance of the new crew member::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Permission to leave the bridge, sir.

Civ_Knote says:
TL: Deck 12.

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Permission denied...unless you have a valid reason.

CMO_Mrai says:
XO: Sir, I'm Ltjg. Mrai.  Well I guess I'm your new CMO, sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
::Returns to his office to finish paper work::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: To help with repairs in Engineering, sir.  Unless you need me up here.

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Permission granted but be prepared to report to the bridge.

Civ_Knote says:
::Exits turbolift and looks up and down the corridor::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Aye, sir.

XO_Avaj says:
CMO: Excellent.  Welcome aboard.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Walks to the TL:: TL: Deck 33.

CMO_Mrai says:
XO: And what was that one moment I was on the transport next I’m here on the bridge of the ship which has been missing for the past month.

Civ_Knote says:
::Passes one of the medical labs looking for the counselor's office::

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: The alien cruiser suddenly turns away from the Triton without warning and makes best haste speed to some odd coordinate in open space.

CMO_Mrai says:
XO: Thank you sir, I think.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Exits TL and almost trips.  Grumbles.::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Did we get any full scans of their ship, sir?

Host Holitarn says:
::Closes his eyes... feels something::

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Check Sci1.  I think our CSO has them.

CMO_Mrai says:
::Starts walking around the bridge::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Reports finished he picks up a PADD and studies plans he has come up with::

Civ_Knote says:
::Pauses in front of the counselor's door::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Enters Engineering.:: CEO: Got any jobs for me?  ::Smiles::

Host Holitarn says:
::Opens eyes with sudden fear:: XO: Commander, where is your Captain?

XO_Avaj says:
CMO: For now please, find you way to sick bay.  Get yourself familiarized with your new office.

Civ_Knote says:
::Rings the door chime::

CNS_Arianna says:
Door: Please come in.

CEO_Keorn says:
OPS: No not right now, I have maintenance crews out putting the finishing touches on the repairs.

Civ_Knote says:
::Enters office::

FCO_Jarek says:
::Checks computer for scans of Alien vessel::

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: I believe he has a prior engagement.

CNS_Arianna says:
Knote: Good to see you.

Host Holitarn says:
::Looks at the XO with a sudden fear::

OPS_Thomas says:
CEO: Most of our systems are running normally, am I correct?

CMO_Mrai says:
XO: OK.  Sure, um, what about my stuff though, hmmm oh well I guess it's still on the transport some where.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Counselor, I don't think we've been formally introduced.  I'm Jota Knote.

CMO_Mrai says:
::Walks towards turbolift::

XO_Avaj says:
CMO: We will locate your belongings.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Was wondering if you had a few minutes.

CEO_Keorn says:
OPS: All the diagnostics have come back clean.

CNS_Arianna says:
Knote: Of course, please have a seat.

XO_Avaj says:
::Turns to Holitarn.:: Holitarn: I believe you may be able to assist us in locating our new Doctor's belongings.

Civ_Knote says:
::Nods and takes a seat::

OPS_Thomas says:
CEO: Great.

FCO_Jarek says:
::Looks over scans of Alien Vessel from Science Station reports::

CMO_Mrai says:
::Enters TL::  TL: Medical offices please.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Just trying to get some background on the crew.  You know fluff for articles, that kind of stuff.

Host Holitarn says:
::Shakes head suddenly…with great trepidation:: XO: No... No now's not the time. You must ready for battle, NOW!

CEO_Keorn says:
::Hands Ops a PADD:: OPS: what do you think of these new specs for the layout of the sensor pickups.

FCO_Jarek says:
::Notices 2 power converters aboard the Alien vessel::

OPS_Thomas says:
*XO* We are almost complete with repairs, sir.

Civ_Knote says:
::Takes out "the PADD"::

EO_Porter says:
::Detects a slight irregularity in the plasma flow::

CNS_Arianna says:
::Smiles:: Knote: I would be happy to talk with you but I can't speak of anything that would be confidential.

XO_Avaj says:
*OPS* Acknowledged.  When you are finished report to the bridge.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the PADD:: CEO: I'll have to study this later.  Very interesting.

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: I am unaware of any potential battle.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Oh no, of course not.  I was more interested in you as a matter of fact.

Host Holitarn says:
::Suddenly starts sweating beads::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Sir, I have looked over the scans from the Alien Vessel, and they have two separate Power converters aboard, Both functioning.

OPS_Thomas says:
*XO* Aye, sir.

EO_Porter says:
*CEO* I'm detecting a small plasma irregularity in conduit 12-45. I'm heading there now to take care of the problem.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Excellent.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: For example, what made you decide to join Starfleet?

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: A massive spatial warping appears in the distance, the same general direction that the cruiser went to. It closes, and then a few seconds later a slight flash of light is seen.

CEO_Keorn says:
*EO* Stay on the bridge I will take care of it.

XO_Avaj says:
*OPS* Report to the bridge.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: one is forward and one is being used for their main power.

EO_Porter says:
*CEO* Understood, sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
::Gets up and grabs a repair kit and heads for the Jeffries tube junction::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Walks out of Engineering and heads for the TL:: *XO* Aye sir.

CMO_Mrai says:
::Arrives on proper deck, exits TL:: Computer: Which way to the medical offices please..

CNS_Arianna says:
Civ_Knote: Well I have always wanted to be a Starfleet officer since I was a young girl.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Enters TL:: TL: Deck 1, Bridge.

XO_Avaj says:
*CEO* What is the status of our engines, Mr. Keorn?

Host Holitarn says:
::Very much shaking with fear now:: XO: Commander, I was talking with your Captain about helping us one time only against our enemies. That's all he needed. I hoped it wouldn't be needed, but our enemies have come to us. I'm sorry, but you're going to be forced into this one.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: And being a counselor?  That a long time dream also?

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins climbing toward problem area::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Exits TL:: XO: You needed me, sir?

CEO_Keorn says:
*XO* Engines are fully tested and ready to go

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: You must know I can not interfere unless it threatens the security of this vessel and it's crew.

Host Holitarn says:
<Computer> CMO: Directions to Sickbay are posted on the wall-mounted displays. ::Arrows light up::

FCO_Jarek says:
::Begins plotting evasive and tactical maneuvers::

CNS_Arianna says:
Knote: I have always enjoyed talking with people and helping them and the two just seemed to go together, don't you think.

XO_Avaj says:
*CEO* Excellent work.

Host Holitarn says:
::Shaking head:: XO: You don't understand. It *WILL* affect you!

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Please take you station.

CEO_Keorn says:
*XO* Thank you, sir.

CMO_Mrai says:
::Follows arrows:: Computer: Thank you computer.

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: A tactical warning sensor goes off.

Civ_Knote says:
::Nods:: CNS: So it would seem.  ::Grins::

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: I understand fully.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Aye, sir.  ::Walks over to the OPS Console.  Looks down at the Tactical screen.:: Ummmmm...

XO_Avaj says:
*CEO* Prepare to test your handy work.

CEO_Keorn says:
::Arrives at problem area and repairs the problem in record time::

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Yes?

FCO_Jarek says:
::Scans console for power availability.::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Tactical Warning.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Did you have much chance to talk with Glax?

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: What initiated it?

EO_Porter says:
::Verifies that the power transfer conduits to the shield generators are still 100% intact::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Climbs up to the bridge access panel and enters the Bridge::

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: I assume we have shields.

FCO_Jarek says:
::Notices full power available::

CNS_Arianna says:
Knote: We did not get to talk much, but I was wondering how you were dealing with his death, seems you knew him better than anyone else.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: For example, he purported to be nothing more than a simple bartender.

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: Where are your vessels now?

CMO_Mrai says:
::Arrows stop bye a door::  Hmmm this must be it.  ::Walks into sick bay::

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::Looks around and doesn't see the CTO:: Would you like to man TAC.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Checks sensor.:: XO: A fleet of ships, I think.  Some small, some medium sized, two large, sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Sir, I show full available power.

OPS_Thomas says:
CEO: I got it.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Yet his final actions are highly suspect.

CNS_Arianna says:
Civ_Knote: I think he was much more than that.

CEO_Keorn says:
OPS: I'll be on the backup station if you need me.

Civ_Knote says:
::Nods:: CNS: I agree.

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: You will need to keep our shields up and engines running.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: But what?

OPS_Thomas says:
CEO: Aye.

Host Holitarn says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: They're gone, Commander.

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Yellow alert.

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins working with EO to monitor ships systems::

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: I stand ready to assist.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Taps Yellow Alert.::

XO_Avaj says:
::Calmly.::  Holitarn: And where might we find them?

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Shields up, sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
FCO: If this comes to blows you'll have your hands full piloting the ship.

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Analysis of the incoming vessels?

Civ_Knote says:
::Startled when yellow alert is sounded::

CNS_Arianna says:
Knote: I am not sure but I have this feeling he was much more.

FCO_Jarek says:
CEO: I can handle that, sir.

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Yellow alert? Now what?

CMO_Mrai says:
::Looks around Sick Bay:: Self: Hmmm neat and tidy, good just the way I like it.  ::Walks over to office marked CMO::

CNS_Arianna says:
::Wonders what now::

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Think I'd like to go the bridge, might be a story there.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: They seem to be enemy ships.

XO_Avaj says:
::Glances at Holitarn waiting for a response.::

Civ_Knote says:
CNS: Would you mind if we continued this later?

CNS_Arianna says:
Civ_Knote: I will accompany you.

CMO_Mrai says:
*XO* Gee I just arrive and already you start huh well I guess I'm ready as I'll ever be.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Almost Jem'Hadar type.

Civ_Knote says:
::Bows and lets the counselor exit first::

XO_Avaj says:
*CMO* I hope we will not have to rely on your talents, yet.

Host Holitarn says:
::Shaking head, starting to get hysterical…fearing for his life but at the same time confident:: XO: No they're gone as in eliminated, obliterated...Systematically destroyed.

CNS_Arianna says:
Civ_Knote: Thank you and yes we will finish this talk at a later time.

Civ_Knote says:
::Follows counselor to the turbolift::

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: Well then, where are they?

CNS_Arianna says:
::Enters TL::

CMO_Mrai says:
::Sits at desk:: *XO* I hope not to sir but if you do send them my way.

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Acknowledged.  Are they in an aggressive posture?

Civ_Knote says:
::Taps the PADD to save his notes and set up a clean "page"::

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: Sir, the power output of those ships show that they are not here to talk.

FCO_Jarek says:
::Scans Enemy ships for power availability::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Searching Pattern, sir.

CNS_Arianna says:
::Waits for Knote in TL::

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Have they scanned us yet?

Civ_Knote says:
::Waits for counselor to step out as turbolift doors open on the bridge::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: And they can easily match our speed, sir.

Host Holitarn says:
XO: Commander, we were it. That last cruiser was part of the 750th Military Detachment to my outpost. We are the last of our society's defense. That's why our project was so very decisive.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: They haven't seen us yet, sir.

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Is there any way to mask our signature, any way to hide the ship?

CMO_Mrai says:
::Pulls out a small PADD from a pocket::  Self: Hmmm I guess I might as well load this EMH upgrade, the instructors said it will help me out with some of the more extensive things I may encounter, since I only went through the medical academy crash course so to speak.

XO_Avaj says:
::Still Calm:: Holitarn: So, you have no defenses?

Civ_Knote says:
::Sidesteps around the counselor and pauses at rear of bridge::

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: I can try and increase the amounts of ionized gasses in the area it will throw off their scans.

Civ_Knote says:
::Surprised to see the XO.  Didn't know he was back::

FCO_Jarek says:
::Begins scanning sector for star corona/and Atmospheres::

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: How long will it take for them to scan through the gasses?

Host Holitarn says:
XO: Like I said Commander, that cruiser was the last heavy battleship we had. Our 
tactical emplacement device we were building was supposed to be our last-line end-all of everything.

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: Depends on how actively their scanning.

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: How many ships are there?

CNS_Arianna says:
::Watches the excitement on the bridge and makes a mental note of how the crew reacts to the Yellow alert... and the possible danger ahead::

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: They could see through it in as fast as 3 minutes, or possibly not at all.

Civ_Knote says:
::Eases over to his familiar seat near the science console and watches::

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Find another alternative, incase this one does not work.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: 15, sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: Do you want me to begin with this in the mean time?

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: Well then, what would you suggest we do?  ::Matter of fact like.::

Host Holitarn says:
::Leans on a rail, weak-feeling...this is it. 18 years and it all comes down to a hope on outsiders::

OPS_Thomas says:
CEO: Can you polarize the hull with tachyons from the Deflector Dish?

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Yes, by all means.

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins increasing ionize gas particles from nacelles::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: If we could find a Nebula or a star’s carona we could hide from them.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Do it.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye, sir.

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: I need to know what your plans are if we are going to survive this.

Host Holitarn says:
::Sighs heavily:: XO: This ship is very close to what we were building. As much as I know you have to stay out of our development, this ship *must* be used for what it destroyed.

CEO_Keorn says:
OPS: If we polarize the hull it will make us stand out more because we will attract the spatial dust.

Civ_Knote says:
::Sees the counselor silently evaluating the bridge crew::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins researching other alternatives::

OPS_Thomas says:
Self: Hmmmm...

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: There is a small Nebula within 5 minutes time from here at warp 2.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: However, I suggest against warp power.

EO_Porter says:
FCO: Won't they detect us going to warp?

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: How long until the vessels come into range?

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: 11 minutes.

CMO_Mrai says:
::Sits back:: Self: Aahhhh there we go all loaded and ready to go, hmmm.  ::Types on the PADD::

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: How long to the nebula at impulse?

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: We could make the Nebula in 12 minutes at impulse power.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: 10 if I increase power to the impulse engines.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Do it.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye, sir done.

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: How far away is your planet?

Civ_Knote says:
::Wonders if all this activity is leading to a way home::

FCO_Jarek says:
::Changes course to 225.34 mark5::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the Tactical screen::

Host Holitarn says:
XO: It's 15 minutes to aft at whatever your top sub light speed is. But that does not matter. They will hunt down anything and anyone.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: I have increased power by 35%.

Civ_Knote says:
::Mutters:: Self: Ack, not the way home, a fight instead.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Nebula in 8 minutes, sir.

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: I may have another idea, if we maneuver toward the pole of the planet we can hide in the magnetic flux of the pole.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: They've seen us!

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: I agree with the CEO.

CO_Winters says:
::Comes back to life in Sickbay::

XO_Avaj says:
CEO: Agreed.

CO_Winters says:
::Looks for that evil hologram::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: However, the Nebula would render their sensors useless.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Move us into orbit around the planet’s pole.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
FCO: What type of nebula is it?

CO_Winters says:
::Gets up and walks into turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Orbit in 1 minute 3 seconds.

EO_Porter says:
CEO: Shall I report to ME to direct damage control teams should the need arise, sir?

Civ_Knote says:
Self: Here I thought they were working on a way home and now we're about to do battle.  ::Shakes head::

FCO_Jarek says:
OPS: Class 3.

XO_Avaj says:
Holitarn: What exactly was the purpose of the array?

OPS_Thomas says:
FCO: Aye.

CEO_Keorn says:
EO: Yes, that would be a good idea.

Civ_Knote says:
Self: That's what I get for wandering around doing interviews.

EO_Porter says:
CEO: Yes, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
FCO: You better hurry up, they've detected us.

CO_Winters says:
::The turbolift doors open:: XO: Report.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: We are in orbit, sir.

EO_Porter says:
::Walks to the TL:: TL: Main Engineering.

XO_Avaj says:
CO: There are approximately 15 vessels heading towards us.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: The Fleet has set an intercept course.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: I have taken the liberty to preset evasive maneuvers.

CEO_Keorn says:
XO: we can launch a probe and have it go to warp it may distract them long enough to get hidden by the pole.

XO_Avaj says:
CO: We are about to mask our selves using the planet’s pole.

Host Holitarn says:
::Looks suddenly at the CO with wild-fear eyes:: CO: I'm sorry, but you're being forced into this position. They've come to us.

CO_Winters says:
XO: Systems Status?

CO_Winters says:
XO: Why are we involved in this?

XO_Avaj says:
CO: All systems operational.

XO_Avaj says:
CO: We are not as of yet.

CO_Winters says:
XO: Let’s try to keep it that way then.

XO_Avaj says:
CO: My thought exactly.

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: Suddenly the whole fleet increases speed and reforms into an attack group.

EO_Porter says:
::Arrives in ME::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Hull temperature-increasing, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Fleet ETA is 2 minutes, sir.

XO_Avaj says:
::Glances at the CO.:: CO: Orders, sir?

CNS_Arianna says:
::Looks around for something to do to help::

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Understood.

CO_Winters says:
XO: Stay out of their scans.

CO_Winters says:
::Sits in his chair::

XO_Avaj says:
CO: They have already scanned us, sir.

CO_Winters says:
XO: Well then.

CO_Winters says:
FCO: Move us back out of the area.

XO_Avaj says:
CO: Red alert?

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the CO::

CO_Winters says:
XO: I think yellow will do.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Speed, sir?

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Continue yellow alert.

CO_Winters says:
FCO: Full Impulse.

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: One minute.

Civ_Knote says:
::Rises and goes to stand behind Science console 2::

FCO_Jarek says:
::Sets course 175.45 mark35::

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: The fleet continues to increase speed, the smaller scouts starting to pull ahead of the pack in a classic parabolic arc tactical formation.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Full Impulse, Aye.

CNS_Arianna says:
::Looks over at Knote to see his response to the yellow alert::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Their increasing speed.  30 seconds, sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: The ships are gaining, sir.

EO_Porter says:
::Breaks out the repair kits, anticipating a battle::

CO_Winters says:
FCO: Keep us ahead of them.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Looks at the Aft Sensors::

Civ_Knote says:
::Small beads of sweat form on his forehead::

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: I'll have to go to warp, sir.

XO_Avaj says:
::Sits back and lets the Captain take control.::

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: The scouts start firing glancing pulses across the Triton's bow.

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Hail them.

Host Holitarn says:
::Sits down, shivering in fear::

CMO_Mrai says:
::Gets up and walks into the actual  medical clinic and starts pulling things off of shelves and putting them where he can get to them fast if he needs them::

OPS_Thomas says:
::Ship shutters:: CO: Aye, sir.  ::Opens a channel::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins reinforcing aft shields with warp power::

EO_Porter says:
::Runs one last scan on the "plasma conditioner" that the alien installed in the core to make sure it is working properly::

XO_Avaj says:
OPS: Shield status?

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Evasive maneuvers ready, sir.

Civ_Knote says:
::Tries to calmly read the console::

OPS_Thomas says:
XO: Direct hit.  Shields holding.

CO_Winters says:
COMM: Ships: We do not want to get involved in this conflict.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: No response to hail.

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Shields to full.

CO_Winters says:
FCO: Evasive Patterns.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Increases power.::

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Evasive Delta 25, Aye.

Civ_Knote says:
::Keeps tracking ships on the SRS::

CO_Winters says:
FCO: What is the fleet’s speed?

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: The larger cruisers catch up and start firing also. All ships seem to be using the same type and power of weapons.

Civ_Knote says:
::Wonders why they haven't gone to red alert::

XO_Avaj says:
::Calmly turns to Winters.:: CO: Our new Chief Medical Officer arrived today.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Warp .95, sir.

CO_Winters says:
FCO: Go to Warp 2.

CNS_Arianna says:
::Wonders how the Knote could be so comfortable on the bridge of a ship in battle::

CO_Winters says:
XO: Hopefully it won't be a hard first day.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Ship shutters again:: CO: Direct hit.  Shield down to 90%.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: I read power build up in their main engineering, sir.

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Red Alert.

CMO_Mrai says:
*XO* Sir I'm open for business, just send anybody my way if they need me.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Warp 2, aye.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Taps Red Alert.::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins scanning weapon systems for possible countering action::

XO_Avaj says:
*CMO* Acknowledged.

OPS_Thomas says:
CEO: Increase power to the shields.

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Verify their power build up what could be causing it?

Civ_Knote says:
::Twitches as the battle lights come on::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Brings fusion reactors to full and routs power to shields::

CMO_Mrai says:
*XO* But pleas try to take it easy will ya, I can't seem to find any of the nurses.

XO_Avaj says:
*CMO* Very well.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: She’s a little sluggish in warp, sir.

Civ_Knote says:
Self: ::Mutters:: This ship is in more scraps then the last three I was on.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Their ships are old.  ::Smiles::

CO_Winters says:
FCO: At least we have it.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
::Brings photon torpedo launcher online.::

XO_Avaj says:
::Stands and moves to Sci1.::

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Firing a warning shot across the lead ship.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: We may be able to get a little boost from the impulse engines.

Host Holitarn says:
::Looks at the CO in fear::

CNS_Arianna says:
::Thanks the stars that the warp engine is working again no matter how sluggish::

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Fires a torpedo.::

Civ_Knote says:
::Sees XO come over to the science side of the bridge::

Civ_Knote says:
XO: Been monitoring the SRS, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Direct hit.

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: The torpedo glances across one of the two larger cruisers, blowing off a nice chunk...larger than on a "normal" ship.

XO_Avaj says:
::Nods to Knote.  And attempts to scan through their hull.::  Knote: Indeed.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: They are firing plasma energy weapons right?

CO_Winters says:
OPS: I said a warning shot.

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins scanning the ships for physical composition::

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: They were in a direct line of fire, sir.  Didn't target them.

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Well, you might as well disable their engines now.

Civ_Knote says:
CO: Scans show that last shot took out a rather large chunk.

EO_Porter says:
*CEO* Sir, the plasma conditioner is feeding the engines some plasma that they're not used to, but I think they will hold up OK if we don't push them too hard.

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Low power phasers.

CEO_Keorn says:
*EO* Monitor it closely.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Yes, Mr. Jarek.  They were firing plasma weapons.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Lowers the power on the Aft Phaser array.  Targets and fires.::

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Ships are gaining, sir.

EO_Porter says:
*CEO*: Yes, sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Theory, sir.

Host Holitarn says:
::Shakes head:: CO: Captain they may not have high-power weapons to you, but their reconstruction rate is awesome. They must be completely destroyed! ::Emphasis on must::

Civ_Knote says:
::Frowns as he looks over the readouts::

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Status?

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Engines disabled on one of the ships, sir.

XO_Avaj says:
CO: Scans are unable to penetrate their hull.

EO_Porter says:
::Wishes he had more time to study the plasma conditioner's specs seeing that it's the only thing keeping main power online.  Hopes that it doesn't get damaged because then the ship would be up a creek...::

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Hail the lead ship?

XO_Avaj says:
Knote: Continue to scan them.  Look for any weakness.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Opens a channel::

CEO_Keorn says:
CO: Sir, the ship's shields are strong however their hull is made of an inferior alloy.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: No response, sir.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Their weakness could be their power supply, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Sensors read that the scouts are gaining.

XO_Avaj says:
::Returns to his chair.::

Civ_Knote says:
XO: Concentrating the scan on that hole we made, might learn something.

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Start taking out the scouts. Disable them.

Civ_Knote says:
Self: Wish I'd spent more time at Science, far too much time was spent in Engineering.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: It seems that they aren't gonna quit until we're destroyed.

XO_Avaj says:
Knote: Be my guest Mr. Knote.  Scan away.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Targets some of the scouts and fires::

Civ_Knote says:
::Nods and grins nervously at XO::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: Polaric Energy is highly unstable.

CEO_Keorn says:
OPS: I can take the secondary weapons array.

OPS_Thomas says:
CEO: Go ahead.

XO_Avaj says:
FCO: Indeed that is what they are using.

Civ_Knote says:
::Punches some buttons trying to narrow the scanning beam::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Begins targeting power systems on lead ships::

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: That’s what they are using, sir.

Host Holitarn says:
ACTION: The scouts, oddly enough, are picked clean by the low-power phasers.

XO_Avaj says:
CO: Recommend we target their weapons and power sources, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Sensors show they've been disabled.

FCO_Jarek says:
XO: I recommend low yield Anti-matter spread.

CO_Winters says:
XO: Make it so.

CEO_Keorn says:
CO: Sir I recommend a high power wide dispersal spread.  It would be like firing those shotguns McLir showed me.

FCO_Jarek says:
CO: Do we want to kill them, sir?

CO_Winters says:
OPS: Implement the CEO's plan.

CEO_Keorn says:
CO: From what I can tell it would just disable them.

XO_Avaj says:
::Moves to tactical and targets weapons and power sources.::

XO_Avaj says:
CO: Aye, sir.

OPS_Thomas says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Converts the firing sequence to wide beam.  Fires.::

Civ_Knote says:
::Stares at console wondering why the scan won't narrowing::

EO_Porter says:
::Hopes that the Warp Core will hold out for the duration of the battle::

FCO_Jarek says:
::Tips hat to Keorn::

CEO_Keorn says:
::Watches screen for outcome of weapons spread::
