USS Vesuvius - NCC 71985

The Shadow Lands: Episode Four - The Enemy of my Enemy

Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

the USS Vesuvius entered a pitched battle with a Breen Battle Cruiser, and despite the best efforts of the crew, came out the worse for wear.

The ship lost a nacelle in the firefight, and has, for the last 22 hours, been making repairs with the help of the USS Typhoon and her corps of engineers.

At this point, the ship is nearly capable of warp again, but will be limited to short bursts of warp 4 or less.

She has been ordered to Starbase 64, the nearest starbase with the kind of repair facilities she requires.

The Vesuvius Crew may owe their lives to an unidentified Romulan vessel that decloaked and fired on the Breen ship and gave chase after the Breen tried to flee.  The whereabouts of that vessel is at present unknown.

XO_Kelson says:
 :: frowns ::  CO: I'm sorry to hear that, Xen.  When do you need to leave?

Host RCO_Hr`Kach says:
ACTION:  The Warbird turns to a parallel course with the Vesuvius and has not raised shields or powered weapons...

CTO_Horn says:
CSO: Warbird is not raising shields or powering weapons

Host CO-Royce says:
XO:  No, I'll handle that.  You take care of the Ves...

Host RCO_Hr`Kach says:
#COMM: Vesuvius: CSO:  I am Commander Hr'Kach of the Romulan Star Empire.  We detected a firefight and came to see if we could render assistance.  Fortunately, we came in time to chase the Breen away.

Host RCO_Hr`Kach says:
#COMM: Vesuvius: XO:  Commander Kelson.  It is not like you to keep people waiting like that.  I will come straight to the point.  We have destroyed the Breen Vessel that fired upon you.  I believe we have information that you would find...most interesting...that is if you could find the time.

EO_Tomari says:
<Team Two>*EO*: Team two here, it's looking better, but needs to be replaced soon.

EO_Tomari says:
*Team two*: Acknowledged.

#COMM: Vesuvius: XO:  Yes, and more.  As I told your junior officer, we have a saying on my homeworld.  "The enemy of my enemy is my ally."

CEO_Davis says:
*EO*: I've transferred power around a little.  With your repairs and the transfers, maybe it'll hold.  I'm heading back to Main Engineering.  Davis out.

Host RCO_Hr`Kach says:
<ADM_Taylor> @ COMM: Ravensblood:  RCO:  Commander Hr'Kach, I will grant you safe passage as long as you remain uncloaked.

CEO_Davis says:

CSO_Trelan says:

EO_Tomari says:
CEO: Aye, not bad for what we have.

Host Captain_Silek says:
@  ::  nods  ::  Taylor: Logical...

XO_Kelson says:

Host RCO_Hr`Kach says:
<ADM_Taylor> @Silek:  You will be a goodwill ambassador for me.  you will go aboard the Ravensblood and be my liaison with Commander Hr'Kach.

Host RCO_Hr`Kach says:
#COMM: Vesuvius/Typhoon: XO/ADM: Again, agreed.  The universe can be a dangerous place.  I prefer the "strength in numbers" approach at times.  Admiral, if you will make ready to have the Captain beamed aboard, we are ready to receive him.

Host CO-Royce says:

CEO_Davis says:
EO:  I'm not sure what else we can do at this point aside from monitor these systems carefully.  The hardware in the affected sections is just shot to hell.

XO_Kelson says:
COM:Typhoon: Let us know when you are ready to get underway, Admiral.

CTO_Horn says:
