Host Scooter says:
ACTION: As the two ships happen to pass by each other at high impulse, the unknown ship rips loose and scores a direct hit on Triton above the bridge. An overhead bulkhead falls down and lands directly in front of the FCO on his console. Sparks fly, badly burning him.

CDR_McLir says:
::Engages autotargeting::

OPS_Durda says:

CNS_Mrai says:
::eyes close, face moves to one of obvious concentration::

OPS_Durda says:
::Reroutes some power to the shields.::

Host Scooter says:
ACTION: Just as quickly as it passes, the ship returns into the depths of subspace, leaving only a slight trail to possibly trace.

CTO_Yohanson says:
<Nurses> ::trying to diagnose Mr. Yohanson without success

Host CO_Winters says:
McLir: More than the shields I do believe.

CDR_McLir says:
OPS: Reroute power.

XO_Keorn says:
::assesses FCO injuries, not critical.  Moves to console and takes over::

OPS_Durda says:
CDR: Got it sir.

SO_Weaver says:
XO:  The ship has phased back into subspace.

Host CO_Winters says:
FCO: Plot a course to follow. XO: You do it if he can't.

CDR_McLir says:
CO: It's gone, only a slight trail.

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: ~~~~ Counselor are you with us~~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
McLir: We might need it unfortunately.

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: How are the shields holding?

SO_Weaver says:
::Realigns scanners to search for the oxygen and EM emissions::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: Course plotted and ready to engage

CTO_Yohanson says:
Self: no, no, no...

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Engage.

CDR_McLir says:
::Forwards course to helm::

FCO_Sundar says:
::gets up on his feet and looks at the XO : Sir i am ok can I get back to the helm

CDR_McLir says:
CO: Shields at 73%

CNS_Mrai says:
::opens eye's,and pushes CEO off of him::what happened,what is going on ::sees CEO:: sorry Jarek thank you for the help hope we don't need it again.

CDR_McLir says:
::Fingers fly over the Tactical console::

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS: My pleasure Counselor

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Returns to Engineering1::

CTO_Yohanson says:
::suddenly feels better:: CDR: I'll take Tactical now.

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: Perhaps you should concentrate on getting the shields back to perfect. You know how I like them.

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Captain the images are gone sir

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Aye sir

CDR_McLir says:
CEO: Looks like one backup generator may have blown.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Works on realigning the shield harmonics

Host CO_Winters says:
All: Ok, this has happened before. We need to find some way to protect our telepaths.

FCO_Sundar says:
::gets back into the helm seat ::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: Sir, I believe if we can get the Opeongo to come back into normal space we can tell how to follow them there

CNS_Mrai says:
::looks around for a sec:: CO: oh boy if that was just a taste of what they can do then this will be more difficult then i first thought

CEO_Jarek says:
CDR_McLir: I'm on it sir

CTO_Yohanson says:
CDR: I'll take Tactical back, sir.

CDR_McLir says:
SO: Can you follow this trace trail?

CDR_McLir says:
::Looks at CTO:: CTO: Of course. ::steps away::

SO_Weaver says:
::Pulls up sensor logs and checks something::  CDR:  Yes.  I have general intercept coordinates.

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: Permission to leave the Bridge sir

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: I am not sure if I want to follow that ship anyway.  We need to fight it here. Unless it isn't as powerful in subspace.

CTO_Yohanson says:
::nods:: CDR: thank you. ::Takes his position::

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: I hope you are going to engineering.

CEO_Jarek says:
CO: I am sir

Host CO_Winters says:
CEO: Go.

CDR_McLir says:
::Reaches for "the PADD" and moves to Winters' side::

SO_Weaver says:
CDR:  I am relaying course corrections to the FCO as we speak.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Heads for TL::

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Enters TL:: Main Engineering

Host CO_Winters says:
McLir: Well, we tried the diplomatic solution.

OPS_Durda says:
::Checks status of the repair teams::

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Hail, Admiral McDowell.

FCO_Sundar says:
:: getting the transfer ::

XO_Keorn says:
CO: I am not certain but we may be able to use the subspace energy as an additional shield system

SO_Weaver says:
::Rechecks the sensor logs, not believing it::  CO:  Sir, it seems that other ship was able to fully scan us and our abilities during the pass-by and weapons fire exchange.

OPS_Durda says:
CO: Aye sir.

CNS_Mrai says:
CO: Sir there is definitely two minds on that ship ,interesting very interesting how  they are both telepaths on the same level of  the mind you might say,yes very interesting indeed.

OPS_Durda says:
::Sends a transmission to the Adm.::

CDR_McLir says:
CO: Aye we did sir.  ::waves the PADD:: This is the remote for the transmitting of that "item."

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS:~~~~ More than Interesting~~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
McLir; Keep that close by.

CEO_Jarek says:
::Exits TL in Main Engineering::

Host CO_Winters says:
Cns: We felt something like that before. Could you determine what they were thinking?

CDR_McLir says:
CO/XO: It is keyed to you, the XO and myself.

OPS_Durda says:
CO: Channel open sir.

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Checks on the backup generator::

OPS_Durda says:
CO: Audio only.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: How close do we need to be to use it?

CTO_Yohanson says:
CO: I believe I know, sir.

SO_Weaver says:
::Shakes his head and projects a course, sending near constant flow of data to the FCO's panel::

Host CO_Winters says:
COM: Admiral: We have made contact with the Opeongo.

CDR_McLir says:
Keorn: Normal comm range.

Host CO_Winters says:
McLir: Alright, I will leave it in your hands for ow.

CDR_McLir says:
::Nods to CO::

OPS_Durda says:
::Wonders what the Opeongo is.  Must have been that thing that hit our shields.::

CNS_Mrai says:
CO: sir it was like they were trying to give to different sets of orders,as if they were fighting each other over control or some thing hmmm kinda hazy still sir.

Host RAdm_McD says:
% ::comes through, supposedly, through a "new subspace relay":: COM: Triton: ... And?

FCO_Sundar says:
::receiving data ::

Host CO_Winters says:
COM: Admiral: If she had stuck around any longer we would be space dust. My Counselor reports there is some kind of inner struggle going on between the two entities.

CNS_Mrai says:
CTO: is that the idea or thought that you got too Yohanson

CEO_Jarek says:
*CO*: Captain the Isolinear chips in the backup generator are all fused,Reason unknown at this time ...We are now on battery back up on the shields

CTO_Yohanson says:
CO: I believe the explanation is this:  They disagreed on weather to attack us or to talk to us peacefully, obviously conflict was decided on.

CDR_McLir says:
::Wonders just how far away McDowell is::

CEO_Jarek says:
*CO*: Shields at 95%

XO_Keorn says:
CO: If we can find a way to get aboard we may be able to bring Opie over to our side

Host CO_Winters says:
CTO: Perhaps by the more powerful entity.

CEO_Jarek says:
*CO*: Generator back on line in less than an hour

CDR_McLir says:
::Listening to the CNS wonders if the virus will infect the wrong "person"::

Host RAdm_McD says:
% ::sounds of seat shifting... long silence:: COM: Triton: Anything else to report?

CNS_Mrai says:
CO: yes that was it was they were fighting ::gulp::over if they should kill us know sir.

CTO_Yohanson says:
CO: Indeed, hmmm, there may still be hope for diplomacy though.

Host CO_Winters says:
COM: Admiral: Nothing at this time. Do you know anything about these two personalities?

FCO_Sundar says:
::starts to pray ::

OPS_Durda says:

CEO_Jarek says:
:: Removes the damaged Isolinear chips and replaces them with new ones::

CEO_Jarek says:
CNS:~~~~ Counselor maybe that is it...Good and Evil~~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
Counselor: I have had a sense that he has been hiding something ever since the Admiral first encountered the Opeongo. Anything to add to that?

CDR_McLir says:
Keorn:  Just had a thought about the virus.

CEO_Jarek says:
*CTO*: You should have full power to shields now,do you concur

CNS_Mrai says:
CO: Sir if you are talking about the Adm,I've kinda had that feeling since the briefing sir but i just can't figure out what it is that he may be hiding,sir.

CTO_Yohanson says:
*CEO*: Yes I do, thanks.

XO_Keorn says:
McLir: What is that

Host CO_Winters says:
Ops: Turn the volume up.

CDR_McLir says:
Keorn: If as we suspect there are two personalities on that ship, the virus might affect the wrong one.

Host CO_Winters says:
COM: Admiral: Are you sure there is nothing you would like to add? I don't want my crew to get killed because you forgot to add a little information.

SO_Weaver says:
::Listens intently to the comm::

CDR_McLir says:
::Waits for McDowell's response::

Host RAdm_McD says:
% COM: Triton: All that I could remove from Scimitar's records I have sent to you.

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: Admiral: I am not talking about the Scimitar, I am talking about you personally.

CDR_McLir says:
::Remembers how personal McDowell took the encounter with the Opeongo last time; looks at Keorn quizzically::

Host RAdm_McD says:
ACTION: The CNS begins receiving numerous quick "flashes" in his subconscious memory... pictures of a Scimitar crew, the Scimitar, image after image after image...

SO_Weaver says:
::Nonchalantly taps a few buttons on his console, waiting for the Admiral's response::

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: Admiral: Admiral?

Host RAdm_McD says:
% COM: Triton: I have sent everything, whether official, personal, or likewise.

CTO_Yohanson says:
~~~~CNS: what if he knows this "virus" would infect the wrong one, what if he wants us dead?!?~~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
Com: Admiral: I remember how personally you took thinks last time. You are hiding something. And I will find out what.

Host CO_Winters says:
COM: Admiral: Triton out.

CDR_McLir says:
::Head snaps about to look at Winters::

CTO_Yohanson says:
