USS Vesuvius  NCC-71985
ACTD-wide mission arc:

"The Admiral's Arms,"  Episode 2:  Battle Stations!

Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

The USS Vesuvius was ordered to lead the First Fleet to the Heplar system, with a Fleet of 28 ships to destroy the capability of the inhabitants of Heplar IV, or Yringalla, to reach warp or make war by admiral Eartha Milburn.

Captain Royce has been given overall command of the Fleet by Admiral Milburn.  Under General Orders 23 and 24, she has given orders to use the first Fleet to destroy the planet and all inhabitants if necessary.

The Fleet is now approaching the Heplar system, and is beginning to group for the battle into squadrons.

The USS Geneva is carrying the Listener, and has been ordered to take a rear defensive position by the Admiral, who has also ordered the QIb to undertake some classified orders.

The Fleet is now less than 12 minutes from Yringalla.

Host Commodore Royce says:
FCO:  Good....

Host Commodore Royce says:
FCO: One shuttle...computer overload...

Host Commodore Royce says:
FCO:  Think we can take out several of those fighters?

Host Admiral Milburn says:
ACTION:  A squad of five ships dives straight at the Vesuvius on collision course...

SO Lane says:
CSO: Sir, I have thousands of communication arrays showing up on our sensors.

FCO Horn says:
<Michaels> :: Dives 45 degrees to cover the Vesuvius' backside ::

CSO Trelan says:
FCO: Follow the Denver. Get us to that planet.

OPS Chaser says:
ALL: Incoming fighter-rs.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Let's go for it.

FCO Horn says:
CSO: Aye Sir.

CSO Trelan says:
CO: Ma'am...we need to attack those arrays. They are what's driving that force. Without comm, they won't know what to do.

FCO Horn says:
:: Performs a "dead drop" then pulls up to head for the planet ::

Host Admiral Milburn says:
OPS:  Quickly!  Use the tractor beams to divert them!  Shape the field like a wedge in front of us!

Host Commodore Royce says:
FCO:  Do it...mark it so the others can stay away from it...

Host Commodore Royce says:
OPS:  Advise the Fleet of what we are going to do

CSO: Commander, there are too many to destroy all of them.

CMO Zria says:
:: Finishes repairing the internal organs and then heals the wounds on her face ::

FCO Horn says:
*Jankara* Jaina, set your shuttle to overload at 125/176.

TO Horn says:
:: Alters his target to the arrays ::

CSO Trelan says:
SO: We don't need to destroy them all....

FCO Horn says:
:: Transfers marker to OPS console ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Contacts the port battle group to redirect per the TO's orders, sends coordinates ::

CSO Trelan says:
SO: Just enough to give the rest of the Fleet a chance.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Sends out marker coordinates to the Fleet ::

Host Admiral Milburn says:
ALL:  Worry about the ships here.  As we approach the planet, we need to make as much room for the trailing ships as possible.

FCO Horn says:
<Jankara> *Jaina* Gonna make them burn?  Aye Cmdr. Set to destruct in 15 seconds.

SO Lane says:

Host Commodore Royce says:
OPS:  Compensate

CMO Zria says:
:: Gets back to work setting the shoulder then moves to another patient ::

Host Admiral Milburn says:

honor ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Commodor-re, Structural Integrity Field is compensated Ma'am.

Host Admiral Milburn says:
ACTION:  More of the Fleet are beginning to break through to the planet, whose orbital defenses are beginning to open fire...

Host Commodore Royce says:
