Host SM_Pam  (Actd.mid)

Host SM_Pam says:
"Seek and ye shall Find" "Ask and ye shall Receive" Has the Triton found what they were seeking? Does the shielded planetoid hide the rebel Talarian base that Starfleet has long suspected?

Host SM_Pam says:
The hour of decision is fast approaching. Sensors have detected that several signatures make up the configuration of the planetoid's shields. Federation, Romulan, Cardassian signatures seem to be the bulk of the shielding with other minor components. Could this be the result of the rebels raids on passing ships?

Host SM_Pam says:
Did the theft of technology result in more than just the unusual shielding or do the rebels have more surprises in store for the Triton? Dum  de dum dum....

Host SM_Pam says:
Sensors are still picking up an energy reading from the planetoid, which has just increased with the return of the rebel fighters. I just bet they're up to something....don't you?

Host SM_Pam says:
All of the fighters have returned to the planetoid and are now protected inside the shields. Captain Knight has ordered the Triton to head to the planetoid to investigate and confront the rebels if need be. Boy I hope the repairs to the ship hold up.

Host SM_Pam says:
Meanwhile, the away team continues to administer to the injured on Galen IV, cut off from the ship and rescue should it be necessary. Dr. Marks led the survivors to a cave in the mountains where they are attempting to do what they can for the colonists. Poor devils....alone and hurt, no fun.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTD is proud to present The USS Triton in...... "Hide N Seek".......  Stardate 10309.11.... Chapter  Six "No Escape "

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::Stands in the cave looking over the colonists and what supplies they have left::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::at Engineering Bridge station monitoring power levels and sending Engineering teams all over the ship for damage assessment and preparation::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks around the bridge:: CTO/CSO: See if you can get a reading on their planetary shields resonance.....let's see if we can cancel it out somehow.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Cmdr  Vince, can you hear me?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*EO*: Ensign Renak I need you to scramble to the Transporters with your team and get them back online 5 minutes ago, we have wounded to beam up.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Aye, sir

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::attempts to scan the planetoid with tactical sensors.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Turns her attention to her board::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Oh and Cmdr, make sure we're ready for any little surprises that might come at us from the planetoid or near space. ::grins::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She looks at the supplies she has left:: Self: Great only a few more liters of water left. ::She walks over to Ensign Anderson:: Anderson: You need to ration this water, I know everyone is thirsty but we need to save this little bit left just in case.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Ensign Telarus, how are repairs coming?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I am having a team scramble to the transporters to see if we can get them online, although I have a temporary solution to get up the critically wounded.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: Sir...I can't get any readings from the planetoid other than being able to determine that the shielding they have is made out of various races components, Romulans and Cardassians to name just two...I doubt we'll get cleared unless we compromise the shield.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: That's fine Ensign but I also need my full scanning capability back immediately as well...do the best you can.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She taps her Combadge:: *Triton*: Away Team to Triton. How are things going up there?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Go to the library computer..let's see if we can find a common denominator that we can use to take them all out at once  ::crosses fingers::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Sir?  I can't get any scans of the planetoid.  Their shielding is interfering.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Back on Galen IV, the doctor receives several more wounded colonists with varying injuries from sprained ankles to head lacerations.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez> CMO: They must be out of range ::takes a seat and begins to clean his phaser rifle::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Understood Cmdr.  Assist Cmdr Sciortino in looking for a common thread we can exploit.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::Just remembers the Triton is not in range:: Self: Great now we are all alone. ::She moves around to the colonists:: Lopez: I am aware of that Lieutenant.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*Engineering*: Get Crewman Reid's team in ASAP and have them bring up sensors to 110% in 15 minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::wonders why his XO hasn't answered his hail and tries again:: *XO*: Cmdr Vince, report please.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She moves to a small child who is covered in a blanket acting like she is freezing. She bends down to her:: Mary: Are you ok honey? ::She takes out her Tricorder and begins to scan her::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez> CMO: Really....::just grins:: Could've fooled me.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
<Crewman Reid>: *EO* Sir we have made some progress, but with some bad news. The sensor pallet needs to be replaced, since we can't do that right now we are patching here and there so 100% isn't in our projections. We might be able to bring her back up to 87% within 10 minutes.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She looks over at Lopez:: Lopez: I would advise you to hold your tongue Lieutenant. ::She then turns back towards Mary and looks at her readings::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO/CSO: If we can’t get through it, maybe we can go around it.  If you see a spot that's maybe weaker than anywhere else let's move in on it

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::starts to looks through the computer, mixed up parts where likely to be a hindrance instead of a help.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez> CMO: Or what you'll strand me on a planet that's under attack ? ::Smiles smugly not even breaking a beat in taking care of his weapon::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Sir good and bad news...which one do you want first?

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: Yes sir.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She opens her medkit and takes out a hypospray and administers it to Mary:: Mary: This should do the trick. ::She gets up and walks over to Lopez:: Lopez: Ok we need to talk over here. ::She moves to an area where she can see the colonists but they cannot be overheard::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez>  ::Remains seated where he is:: CMO: I think you better stick to your job of healing patients and leave the tough stuff to me little girl.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Go with the bad, why change the order now?  ::smiling::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She looks down at Lopez:: Lopez: Excuse me Lieutenant but if you have not noticed I am your superior on this mission and if you speak to me in that manner again I will remove you from duty and have you sit there. I know there are more capable officers here then you.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Brows furrow together as she tries to find a way to get rid of the shield on the planetoid::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::thinks back to what happened when they first attacked the emissions source above the planetoid:: CTO/CSO: Can we overload the shield?  Look at what happened when we concentrated on just one small area earlier.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: The attacks damaged the sensor pallet, beyond a full repair I have Crewman Reid's engineering team working on it, they told me at the least we could have 87% efficiency in now about 5 minutes in elapsed time since my conversation with him.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez>CMO: Actually  Doctor, your not, I was left in charge by an officer with higher ranking than you.  Also I have held my rank for long than you have.  So if you'd get back to work...

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Understood, now how about the good news.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Cmdr, report please?  Are you injured?

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Pauses and sits up, slowly turns to the Captain::  CO:  I'm not sure, Sir, but......  ::voice tapers off as she works her board::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Thank you Cmdr.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@Lopez: Actually that does not matter in a medical situation and because I am a Senior officer and you are not I am in charge. Now one more word and I will have you removed is that clear Lieutenant? ::She stares at him thinking " I have handled worse then you in my sleep"::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::wakes up with a headache and dizzy, still disoriented::

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The shielding around the planetoid begins to emit a pulse directed the opposite direction from the Triton's orbital position.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: Cmdr Vince, this is Captain Knight...report please  ::getting worried::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Well the 87% was the good news, we unfortunately don't have the luxury of time sir I know this. Although we do need to give this at least another 15 minutes and see how far they are getting with this.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez> CMO: Removed from what ....::gestures around him:: and with what army...in case you haven't noticed everyone with tactical training follows my orders here.

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::after a moment to recognize the voice and get his bearings::  *CO*:  Vince here, Captain.  I'm in a Jeffries tube.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Make it the top priority Ensign....every second is critical

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Sir, I'm picking up a pulse

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::hears and sighs:: *XO*: Understood Cmdr.  Are you injured?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::gradually works himself to his feet::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: What sort of pulse Cmdr?  A signal for help maybe?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
*CO*:  Maybe a bump on the head, but I think I'll be fine  ::winces as he touches the back of his head::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@Lopez: If I ordered them they would listen. I am done playing games.. when we get back onto the Triton I will make sure you are taught the procedures for an Away Mission as well as talking back to a superior. ::She leaves him not caring anymore.. the colonists were more important right now::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: I also have reports on our deflector array, it's current condition is having a detrimental effect on our shields. We are having problems maintaining stable shields on our ventral starboard shields, exposing our starboard nacelle with a clear shot and most likely our port nacelle if they get a lucky shot or fighter within our shields.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
*XO*: I'm glad it's not more than that Cmdr.  Report to the bridge immediately.  I need your help

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: It's coming from ::Her voice fades as she checks her board:: It's coming from the shielding and directed in the opposite direction of the Triton's position

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
*CO*:  I'm on my way

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez> CMO: You tell me when you talk to Athena about that ::shouts:: I'll wanna sell tickets ! ::grins cause if she goes over her head then Athena would be really pissed::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::starts to climb the ladder, then gets a better idea::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Can you tell me anything else to make my day Ensign?  Strengthen what we've got working the best....even if it means taking away from the less stable portions of the shields

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Either a signal for help or one to try and lure us away.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: I can try to overload the shield sir, but I can't promise it'll work.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO:I understand.  Begin active LRS in the direction of the pulse.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/CTO: If you two can come up with the right phaser modulations, give it a try

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Aye, sir  ::activates the long range scans::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: We aren't leaving

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
Computer:  Beam me to the bridge

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::studies the pulse  and tried to determine what phaser modulation might cause the shields to go down::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She turns back to Lopez:: Lopez: Ah yes well as you can see she is not the superior on this Away Team, I am. And believe me I could care less what Commander Sciortino has to say, this is not her Away Mission and she does not make the decisions down here, I do. ::She moves to an elderly woman, noticing she is injured::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Prepare for incoming attack as well Cmdr.  Make sure we're ready with torps and phasers.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::looks at the CTO and nods, sends her figures to the CTO's board, hoping that they'll be of some help::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
<Computer> XO:  Transporters are offline.

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
Self:  Intaqh!  ::climbs up the ladder::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ALL: If this doesn't work we will use the Triton to shield Galen IV from whatever feedback occurs.  I know we're hurting but we have to

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She takes out some bandages and raps it around her arm:: Woman: This should stop the bleeding. ::She takes out an hypospray and administers it to her:: Woman: And this shall stop the pain. ::She smiles::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Lt Servek>CMO: Doctor someone over here is showing signs of dehydration.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::wonders just how far away Cmdr Vince was but at least he knows he's okay now::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez>::gets up and walks over to some of his sec team, they have a good lound laugh, glance at the CMO and then disband to assist those who need it::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::finds his way to a nearby TL::  Computer:  Main bridge

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::sits down as his mind is flooded with thoughts again; he's having a very hard time keeping them out of his way::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She nods at the Vulcan Female and walks over to her. She looks at the scans on her Medical Tricorder:: Servek: Take some water and give it to him. Give him as much as he needs.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: LRS detect an anomaly in the shielding.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::puts phasers and torpedoes on hot standby::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::TL stops, enters the bridge::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::notices the weapons and torps and nods at Sciortino::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Lt Servek>CMO: Aye ma'am. ::She moves over to the water and takes some. She then administers it to the patient::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Welcome back Cmdr.

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::hand over the back of his head::  CO:  Glad to be back.  What did I miss?

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: I'm picking up an anomaly in the shielding...

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::takes his seat::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Can we exploit it?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Basically we're trying to find out what's going on on this planetoid.  We're hurt and don't have full anything, and I had to leave Yates and her team back on Galen IV

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::operates the console with quick precision and begins moving ship resources around to compensate for the starboard ventral shield::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Cmdr if you're up to it would you take the helm for now?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::looks at his console to see where the planetoid is relative to what's been id'd::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: It would take a bit of firepower but, yes I believe we could.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::Thinks to herself as she hears Lopez and his team "They will never accompany me in an Away Mission again, I will see to that":: Servek: Good work Lieutenant. Now my next job for you is to keep the security team in line.. if they step one foot out of it I want it documented.. I am not here to play games with them.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Let's make some fireworks Cmdr.  Do it.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Lt Servek>CMO: Understood ma'am. ::She does her task::

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: Several of the Talarian fighters approach from the far side of the planetoid, but keep their distance.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Can you make sure we stay steady while we fire Cmdr?

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  Well, I may be rusty, but I'm sure I won't crash us into any planets... I think  ::smirking::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
::takes the helm::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I'd appreciate that Cmdr ::grinning::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG Jones> ::Working on patients in Sickbay that have received some minor injuries::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: Full spread of torpedoes locked and loaded on the anomaly, firing Gamma pattern, now ::fires::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  Do you think that base may be here?  ::nodding his head toward to planetoid on the view screen::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::sees the fighters but decides to ignore them for now::

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The torpedoes do no damage to the shielding.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: I'd say it's almost a certainty.  They broke off their attack to move back here immediately when we fired on the shields

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  Makes sense  ::holding us in position, despite the attacking fighters::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Plus SF Intel has said the pirates have been using all the technology they can steal

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::fires phasers and utilizes a rotating frequency hoping to get something:: CO: No affect so far

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Captain, I think a couple of the fighters are catching on to that weakness in the ventral starboard shields they are breaking off and heading for the nacelle.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She looks around at all of the colonists, she senses fright, hunger, anger, and pain:: Self: Come on Triton get back here soon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
CO:  Most pirates I've met do.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Discourage them Cmdr.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Understood.  Let it be for now.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Cmdr, what am I missing?  There has got to be some common thread we can exploit to get through this shielding.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::overhears the Captain's comment and tries to think of commonalities with the shield the pirates have set up with multi-technology incorporations::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Hunches over her console, sending any scrap of info she may find for them to bring down the shielding::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She moves to a woman who is holding an infant in her arms. She takes out her Tricorder and scans them both::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Sir may I suggest we launch a Class VI COM Relay, although considering our great distance we might be able to reestablish some form of communications line with the CMO and her team.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Mother>CMO: Will my baby be ok.... please tell me she will? She has been shivering and crying for awhile now.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::looks at Telarus:: EO: Ensign after the luck we had with the last probe, I'm not to certain I'm ready to try that yet

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: More fighters join the others but stay well outside weapons range.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez>::comes over to where the baby is:: Ma'am maybe I could try something ::with permission takes the baby, it immediately stops crying:: CMO: At least some people like me ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: Can you assure me that we're not going to lose control of it?

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Scanning as best she can a tiny light blinks at her.  Looking at it, she sits up straight and checks it twice more to make sure she isn't seeing things::  CO: Sir?  I think I'm pickling up a slight discrepancy in the shielding over the southern polar region.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Baby>::Spits up on Lopez and then cries some more::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Concentrate on it Cmdr, let's see what we've got

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: If you authorize the launch now, I can go give the COM Relay a run down before launching it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez>:: is not upset:: Baby: I think the same of her too ::starts to sings and talk softly quieting the baby again::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: No modifications this time Ensign.  If it's not ready in ten minutes it doesn't go, understood?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She takes the Baby from Lopez:: Lopez: This child is having severe problems and you came and held it! Leave here now Lieutenant you have to right trying to work with any of the colonists.. you are only protection.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Aye, sir.  ::Taps some more:: So far it's very slight ::Voice fades as she concentrates::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
CO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO:  Can you give her some help with our Tac scanners Cmdr?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<LtJG Jewel>CMO: Ma'am the child is going into shock! ::She takes out supplies and tries to stabilize the child... but it is to late...::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez>CMO: You have some serious issue...that baby just has a bit of colic...trust me I have 13 siblings all younger:: shrugs and walks off::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::Her eyes widen as she looks at the infant:: Mother: I am sorry.. there is.. nothing we could have done.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: Lt. can you give me anymore out of our shields?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::leaves the station and someone replaces him there as he enters the TL:: TL: Torpedo Bay.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She watches the mother begin to cry. She tries to comfort her::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/CTO: Can we enlarge that weakness?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Lt Servek>Lopez: Lieutenant do you see what you have just caused? ::She speaks in her regular Vulcan tone::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: Ma’am I am on my way to the Torpedo Bay. I am gonna give a Class VI COM Relay a run down before we send her out to space, to reestablish communications with the CMO and her team.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Maybe we can.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: Of course ::adds tac sensors to help the CSO::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
XO: Cmdr how's our orbit?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@Jewel: I need some water over here for the mother. ::She watches Jewel go and get the water::

CEO_T`Ponga_Shemara says:
::hands fly over the consoles::  CO: Sir, I am going to have to take power from other systems to boost the shields.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: Do it Lt. We don't have the luxury of being choosy

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::exits TL and heads towards the Torpedo Bay::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez> Sevrvek: The kid was dying anyway I tried to make it comfortable...I don't expect a Vulcan to know anything about that so I suggest you worry about the living and I'll deal with the dead and dying.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She gives some water to the mother:: Mother: It will be ok.. I promise everything will be fine.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The fighters that have been staying just out of weapons range begin to edge closer.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Lt Servek>Lopez: You are a very illogical person. It seems that when we get back to the Triton you will be facing some charges. ::She leaves Lopez thinking he is a very illogical humanoid::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: The fighters seems to be testing us, there are getting closer, they are just barely out of range now.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Let them get cocky, and when they get in close, explain their mistake to them

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::enters the Torpedo Bay and pulls out his tricorder to scan the COM Relay::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@Jewel: I would like you to make sure no other infant or child here is very harmed. I want a report in 5 minutes.. go.

CEO_T`Ponga_Shemara says:
*EO*: Yes Ensign.  This time go over that probe before it gets sent out.  I don't need it going where it is not supposed to go.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO/CSO: Let's get that hole opened

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<LtJG Jewel> ::She goes and makes her team check every child making sure they are ok::

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The Triton's sensors suddenly go crazy.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Jumps back in her seat:: Outloud: Hey!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
ALL: What is going on?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::finishes a preliminary scan of the COM Relay and sees nothing on the surface and proceeds for a detailed scan of the guidance computer::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: I'm reading...I'm not sure what we are reading ...

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The Talarian fighters move off towards Castal.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Self: What in the heck is this...?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::Sighs thinking to herself "If Athena sends this person with me again.. I swear I will step down as Medical Chief.. I cannot have men causing infants to die"::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Is it a failure in the shield?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::moves onto another COM Relay and initiates a deep scan of the guidance computer on that one::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Sees the fighters move off:: CTO: We let them go for now.  As much as I hate it

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::received the same findings::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
@<Lopez> ::walks amongst those in the cave, notices a young kid checking out his phaser rifle, and stops to show it off to them::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Self: How in Hades are we supposed to be two places at one time?::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<LtJG Jewel>CMO: All of the infants are.. ::She notices Lopez:: CMO: Umm ma'am... he is showing them his phaser rifle.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::moves to a Class V Recon Probe, the same that hit Castal and scans that one's guidance system with the same results::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO:  Lt. how much speed can we make back to Castal if we need to?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO/CSO: Can we get sensor readings through that hole yet?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@Jewel: Yes and it will all be dealt with later he will not listen to me at the present so I will just note everything and will add it to a report.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Sir, Sensors show a ship, big one

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: It's a Romulan warship D'Deridex class...and she's got some different parts on her as well

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: Ma’am...I need a second opinion on some scans I have just run on three different probes. I keep on getting a dead signal from the guidance chips onboard the COM Relay and from our remaining Class V Recon Probe.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO:  Full weapons load.  Target what you can on her.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: It's a pirate ship I'll bet.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She notices the colonists are fine at the moment so she monitors everyone:: Servek: Get your teams to walk around the cave assisting anyone else, but there should not be a need for it. Do it just in case.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Forget the pattern firing on the torpedoes.  I want a full strike aimed directly at her.  Just don't fire yet

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Sir, I think I've got something. The ship is Romulan. A D'deridex class warship, registered as the Makara, but reported as lost 5 years ago. Twice as big as the Triton, but slower.

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: Klingon Torp launcher. 6x class 21 disrupter canons, 12x52 photon torpedo tubes capable of launching 800 torpedoes. Antimatter spread emitter. Capable of cloaking indefinitely. Launchers on wings and aft.

CEO_T`Ponga_Shemara says:
::goes back to her console and takes the power from where she can::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: She's a bit out of our league...

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@<Lt Servek>CMO: Of course Lieutenant Yates. ::She does as told::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
::Self: Maybe it's a good day to die:: CTO: She may be but we can't let her just run over us.  Let's see if they're willing to talk.  Open a channel

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Thank you Cmdr.  Keep scanning.   Anything we can turn to our advantage

CEO_T`Ponga_Shemara says:
*Ens. Spanner*:  How we doing on engines son????

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO:  She may not be able to overrun us...we can travel a good deal faster than her max warp or 9 for 12 hours

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::opens a channel:: CO: Channel open, they can hear you...now if they'll only listen

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Well let's hope we don’t have to race her.  

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The Romulan ship moves closer, clearly the bigger ship and the more powerful.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Pirate: This is Captain Thorne Knight of the USS Triton.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Watches the ship move in closer, hoping it isn't for the kill, grabs the edge of her console to hide her hand shaking::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO/CEO: If we have to ram her, we will.  I want the shields ready to be shaped in front of us... we'll make it interesting.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CO*: Sir I can't certify the COM Relay for launch, in fact I suggest not launching any of these probes sir. I scanned three of the them, two Class VI and the remaining Class V and I have found that the guidance chips are for what I can gather dead.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She looks around and sighs in relief.:: Self: Everything down here is stable at the moment... I hope the Triton is ok.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
EO: It's not that important Ensign.  I need you and Lt Shemara to work on forming a ram with the shields now

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CEO: Can you do it Lt?

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: I must protest...while going out heroically may seem fun ultimately it's just plain stupid, we need to call for assistance and then go to meet it perhaps dragging them away from anyone else to be put in danger

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO/CTO: What is so important on that planetoid

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Watch your tone Cmdr.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Starts at Knights voice, then looks at him, shrugging::

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: My tone was watched sir....

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: I didn’t say we were going to do it.  But I also know that they will be thinking the same thing and it may buy us the time we need to get back to Galen IV.

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The warship changes course to pass the Triton.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: Sir!  They're moving

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: There ignoring us...::Raises eyebrow::

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::looks at the screen::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: Cmdr, I'll tolerate any suggestions but I will not tolerate being called a fool, do you understand?

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CO: I understand, I simply do not care, for I did not call you a fool.  Now could we get back to business ?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::pulls up a SITREF window on the closest panel to see a huge yet greatly modified D'deridex class Romulan Warbird::

CEO_T`Ponga_Shemara says:
*EO*:  If you are getting readings from the probe indicating that the guidance chips are dead........

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: We'll discuss this later Cmdr.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::A soft beeping on her board catches her attention::  CO: Sir, I think I might have found out why that planetoid is important

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Let's hear it Cmdr.

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
::Motions for him to move to her side::

Host SM_Pam says:
ACTION: The warship's course is interesting....check it out.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: This isn't over, but for now I'll let it go.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CTO: where is the warship headed?

CSO_LtCmdr_Brandle says:
CO: I think it was the rebel base....sensors found lifesigns......thousands....weapons stores..... and a fighter base  ::points at her screen::  And it looks like the Romulan ship is heading to Galen IV

CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::works on projecting course::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
@::She moves to a colonist when she is called over, and begins assisting::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Can you give me a target Cmdr?  Something we can fire a torpedo at?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*EO*: I am looking at my panel right now ma’am and I see the ship, that thing is too huge for big on maneuverability. The Captain informed me of what he wants us to do, but we can't do it although we would hit it. It has greater shields than we do.
