Host SubCmdr_Trex  (Actd.mid)

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
The missing Starfleet cadets and their instructors have been found safe and sound for the most part, but there is still no sign of Vice Admiral Serena Sheridan and no further clues as to what has happened to her.

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
Now, two Romulan ships, one a warbird, the other a battle cruiser, have opened fire on each other, after the battle cruiser repeated the warning for the Triton to leave the Neutral Zone. Well you guys were warned.

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
Captain Knight ignored the warning in order to follow the ion trail from the T’pual in hopes of locating the missing cadets and Admiral Sheridan. Well one out of two isn’t bad, right?

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
The Triton must now get the cadets aboard before another disaster befalls them but with the Romulans fighting each other, that may be a difficult task. Yeah, there is this thing about lowering shields, isn’t there?

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
As we begin what hopefully is the final chapter in our story, all three sides are engaged in a very dangerous business. Oh boy, can’t wait to see what happens, can you?

@CTO:  What's the chance your charges will finish taking this down?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Sir you got all the power you need.  If you need more I will get it to you.

Cmdr_R`dex says:
#COM: Triton: Their ship destroyed the cadets ship... why would they deposit the crew on the planet, where you cannot reach them, if they are not prisoners?

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
$::swings around and prepares to fire again::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@XO: Wouldn't setting the charges cause the entire cavern to collapse?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Praetor: That is what I'm trying to find out Cmdr

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@:: looks to Thelsi for an answer::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@CMO:  The question is, how long would it take?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: T'Pual: If you want us to listen both of you cease firing

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@::looking for field emitters::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Ens. Jackson: Watch the power distribution grid!!!!

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@All:  Maybe we can locate the field emitters and take them out

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@XO: I doubt very long Vince. It would seem difficult to get everyone out when charges are set. ::Looks over the forcefield with her tricorder::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@<Thesia> no telling sir

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO: Confirmed sir.  Vince says there is a force field in place

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO: And that they are trapped

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Understood.  We have got to get that force field down

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO: That generator is ready to go...and so are the other pieces of requested equipment

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@CMO/CTO:  Can we disrupt the field with a tricorder signal?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Praetor/T'Pual:  Can one of you, as a show of good faith, tell us how to get that force field shut down?

FCO_T`hax says:
CO: I will launch a Tachyon Pulse again and knock it down.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@XO: It is worth a shot. ::Looks over the Tricorder and tries to reconfigure the signal::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Send it down

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
FCO:  I have calibrated phaser.  Take a 9 seconds shot, time enough to disrupt anything.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::gets an idea::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Belay that

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
FCO:  The tachyon burst will be useless again.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Glad she didn't send the generator down...her finger is so close for transport ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@XO: with all of the tricorders rigged together possibly

Cmdr_R`dex says:
#COM: Triton: Perhaps the captors would mind explaining how to drop their forcefield.

FCO_T`hax says:
::Charges the pulse:: CSO: Not if we shoot it to overload it

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@CTO:  Try it

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: E'Laina, what do you sense form the Romulans?

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Sir I just had an idea.

FCO_T`hax says:
CSO: At the same time.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::Hands the CTO her Tricorder::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@::Looks to see if a phaser would be able to take out one of the emitter lights::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO: I sense distrust...each from the other

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: What about their attitude towards us?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@AT: This may take a while

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Kalek will the equipment we have ready to beam to the surface make a difference?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@CTO: We don't have awhile Commander.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::frowns at the new reading::  FCO:  Do not fire the tachyon burst.  You should use the ventral phasers...  and T'hax....  shoot those lights.  ::sends the FCO the cavern's entrance layout::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Feels her body vibrating from all the tension around her ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@Cadets:  Try to remain calm.  Soon we'll all be safe onboard the Triton

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Well I was just thinking, this energy field or shield is of Romulan design yes?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Negative, sir.  It should be beamed into the field.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
CSO: Understood

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@AT: that should do it. Turn on all of them on the count of three

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ XO: I'm afraid we're dealing with the Romulans up here at the moment my love.  However, there are plans in the works to try a few things to help bring down the shield ~~~

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@CTO/CMO:  Whenever you're ready

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS: Cmdr send down the equipment but not our special cargo

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
OPS:  Commander, since we're shooting against the field's lights, perhaps you should contact Commander Vince and tell them to be careful.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::She turns on her Tricorder::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: Why not make them a cocktail of tachyons, and mix a generous portion of neutrino waves.  Since the signature is Romulan it stands to reason they are using anti-neutrino waves to create it.

FCO_T`hax says:
CSO: Your idea did not do the trick.

FCO_T`hax says:
::recharges tachyon pulse and fires::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:

FCO:  Understood.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CO: Aye sir.  CSO: Got it  ~~~ XO: We're sending down a generator to help bring down the shield.  You will all need to take some cover ~~~

Crewman Jackson: Watch it up there watch them injectors.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@:: raises an eyebrow::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
CSO: Sir, the generator is in place.  The Away Team has taken cover.  What's the hold up?

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ XO: Just asking now ~~~

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO:  Captain, we need to turn the ship to bearing 1-1-0.  The deflector dish will be ready to fire the anti-neutrino wave in a few moments.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: T'Pual: Well SubCmdr?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@XO: Maybe they are getting it ready? ::Looks at him:: XO: Or else it does not work.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
FCO: Make it so Ensign

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
::hands are poised over the controls and waits patiently::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ XO: Keep under cover...we are trying something from up here ~~~

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
$COM: Triton: Captain, what do you expect of me? I will not lower my shields to that pirate!

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@CMO:  Beats me, I'm not much of a technician

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::sends the coordinates to the CEO::  *CEO*:  You have the coordinates.  Fire on my mark.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: T'Pual: SubCmdr I meant the forcefield around the cave on the surface

#::Just in case, his XO has the operations officer prepare to beam up the cadets themselves, if necessary::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
~~~ XO: How many people to beam up? ~~~

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: I am assuming it worked.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
@::She gets up and heads out with the group::

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
@*OPS*:  Triton, do you read

#::gives the word to his operations officer... as soon as the lock is steady, beam them up::

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
#::moves his ship behind the Triton::

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:

@:: hesitates for a moment, then presses the detonate command on his tricorder::

Ens. Spanner: Watch the intermix and the coolant scale.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::keeps tabs on both warbird and cruiser::

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Ship wide:  Be prepared for incoming fire

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
Self: Damn!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Praetor: Cmdr I want an explanation now!

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
Self: Careful not so fast.

FCO_T`hax says:
CO: What do we do?

Cmdr_R`dex says:
#::Has the XO brought up to the Bridge::  COM: Triton: I apologize for our hasty actions.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Praetor: I better hear more than that and soon Cmdr

Cmdr_R`dex says:
#COM: Triton: I did not wish to see you lose your crew to the traitorous T’Pual.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Praetor; Then beam them aboard immediately

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
CO/OPS:  The Praetor has all the cadets.

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: What happened to the transporter beam?  Where did it go?

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
OPS/CSO: In ten seconds unless I cancel it

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
$COM: Triton: Captain, those pirates have your people!

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: Praetor: Well Cmdr?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
*CEO*:  Our transporter beam was disrupted by the Praetor’s... that means they moved first.

Host CO_Capt_Knight says:
COM: T'Pual: they say it's for their protection

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
#::looks around, confused::

Cmdr_R`dex says:
#::Leans close::  COM: Triton: You know, Captain, we should discuss our pirate problem in person.  Perhaps I can beam over with your crew?  ::Makes a show of calling the transporter room and having the away team beamed over... but slowly::

CEO_Lt_Shemara says:
*CSO*: But how????  It didn't register here in engineering.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
#::Materializes aboard another ship:: All: Where the heck are we?

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:
::nods to his CO and triggers "Plan B", awaiting for his mark::

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:

Host XO_Cmdr_Vince says:
#TR_Officer:  Beam ALL of us to the Triton... if you don't mind!

Cmdr_R`dex says:
#COM: Triton: Captain, we have only so many transporter pads... they will all come over.

OPS_LtCmdr_Anari says:
:: Feels her heart beating faster unable to control her fear ::

Host SubCmdr_Trex says:
$COM: Triton: Of course Captain as soon as I see that your people are safe.

CSO_LtJG_Kalek says:

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
#::Notices the Cadets are very scared aboard the vessel. She watches the Romulan::
