USS Vesuvius, NCC-71985
Stardate 10410.12
ACTD-wide storyline, Part 2
Episode 11

Debt of Honor…

The away teams have all returned to the Vesuvius leaving behind U'Tahn and the V'Rax on Varnaxia, the homeworld of the V'Rax. The V'Rax have returned to a more solid form and now live without the exoskeleton.  This occurred when extra-dimensional energy was released when the spatial anomaly nearby imploded upon itself.

A message was finally revealed to the Vesuvius crew. It read: To All Federation Task Force Fleet. Contact at the following coordinates…the Selaya.

The Vesuvius is now ready to leave Varnaxia's orbit...but not before one last communication from U'Tahn….

OPS N’Duh says:
::Take his seat at OPS::

Host FCO Lorehani says:
::At her station on the bridge trying to looks inconspicuous...hopefully Hope doesn't notice her.::

SO Kilmer says:
::Sits at the forward science console::

Host U’Tahn says:
@COM: Vesuvius:  This is U'Tahn

CNS Martin says:
::In her officer finishing up on her schedules::

EO Dylan says:
::On the bridge standing at the Engineering station::

TO Vandross says:
::At tactical::

OPS N’Duh says:
CSO: We have a communication from U'Tahn.

CSO Lane says:
::Sits in her chair preparing to leave Varnaxia::

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Let's hear it.

SO Kilmer says:
::Monitors the sensor readouts::

CMO Bannister says:
::In his office in Sickbay, reading over some data.::

OPS N’Duh says:
::Nods::   COM: U'Tahn, go ahead.

OPS N’Duh says:
::Puts it on speakers::

Host U’Tahn says:
@COM: Vesuvius: I must warn you.  The Nacandarian’s are planning an attack of some of your vessels

EO Dylan says:
CSO: Ma’am we have full power available for departure.

OPS N’Duh says:
::Raises an eyebrow::

CSO Lane says:
COM: U’Tahn: Commander Lane here. Are you sure about this U’Tahn?

FCO Lorehani says:
::Double checks the coordinates she received from the Seleya...she can't help but think that it's time to be heading home...maybe it's time for a short visit to Andoria...to "relax"::

OPS N’Duh says:
::Glances over at the FCO::   FCO: Welcome back, we missed you.

CSO Lane says:
::Motions to the EO::   EO: Thank you.

Host U’Tahn says:
@COM: Vesuvius: As sure as anything.  They can't hear me since I am not a part of their hive collective.  Being out here hasn't severed my connection to them either

EO Dylan says:
::Hears something about an attack, turns to the viewscreen::

SO Kilmer says:
::Keeps an eye on sensors for signs of hostile Nacandarian vessels::

CSO Lane says:
COM: U’Tahn: Can you provide the coordinates for this attack U’Tahn?

CNS Martin says:
::Sets aside the schedule and opens up a new, blank file, ready for her new assignment::

FCO Lorehani says:
::Smiles and twitches her antenna.::   OPS:  Thanks, it's good to be back on my feet again.  It seems I've been inadvertently spending a lot of time in sickbay these days.  So what have I missed?

Host U’Tahn says:
@COM: Vesuvius: I only know they are in the process of planning an attack at this time.  I'm afraid it could be where you are headed.  Please be careful

OPS N’Duh says:
FCO: Not a whole lot.  We had an away team return to the surface to help U'Tahn and the V'Rax.

FCO Lorehani says:
OPS: Ah   ::Grins::   Probably a good thing I slept through that then.   ::Chuckles to herself.::

CNS Martin says:
::Pulls a PADD full of her notes on the V'Rax towards her, and gets to work on her report::

OPS N’Duh says:
FCO: Yes, with me on my first away mission, and in charge, you did well to miss that.

Host U’Tahn says:
@COM: Vesuvius: To whatever Gods you worship...stay safe.  Thanks again for your help.

CSO Lane says:
COM U’Tahn: Thank you for the warning U’Tahn. I will inform my task force. May all your hard work be rewarded. Lane out.

EO Dylan says:
TO: Wouldn't make any sense to hit us when the fleet is together would it, why not hit us in transit?

OPS N’Duh says:
::closes the channel::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The communication is cut

FCO Lorehani says:
::Looks at her counterpart.::  OPS:  I'm sure, no make that positive that you did well in your first command.

TO Vandross says:
EO: I think our adversaries underestimate us.

CSO Lane says:
:: Turns to N'Duh :: OPS: Send a message to all Federation ships in the sector to be on guard for a possible Nacandarian attack.

OPS N’Duh says:
CSO: Aye, I'm on it, Commander.

FCO Lorehani says:
::Waits for Hope to give her the OK to put this ship into gear.::

OPS N’Duh says:
::Sends out a message too all the Federation ships in the sector with the CSO's recommendations::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, prepare to leave orbit and head for the Seleya's coordinates.

EO Dylan says:
::Hopes that is the position of the Nacandarian’s::

OPS N’Duh says:
CSO: All ships have acknowledged the transmission.

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  Aye Ma'am...coordinates already plotted in...just waiting for your order.  ::Hand hovers over the starter button.::

CSO Lane says:
*All*: All stations. We have completed our mission here. We are heading for the Seleya's coordinates. All stations are to be at yellow alert status for time being. Lane out.

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore...engage!

EO Dylan says:
::Puts the damage control teams on alert::

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Understood.

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  Engaged.... ::Hand taps the console.::  Going to Warp 4.

OPS N’Duh says:
::Coordinates power usage with all stations::

EO Dylan says:
CSO: Damage control teams have been alerted ma’am.

TO Vandross says:
::Relays yellow alert protocol to all tactical and security personnel::

EO Dylan says:
::Sees N’Duh's report come up on his display::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, best possible speed. There may be trouble ahead.

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  I can increase to Warp 8 if you like...?

CSO Lane says:
EO: Acknowledged.

OPS N’Duh says:
::Standard yellow alert protocols in place::

SO Kilmer says:
::Keeps a keen eye on sensors for signs of hostile Vessels::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, what is our maximum warp?   :: Taps her fingers on the chair arm ::

EO Dylan says:
::Makes an adjustments to the plasma injectors for warp speed::

CNS Martin says:
::Recording her report about the V'Rax, and doesn’t really stop to wonder why the yellow alert has come up, continuing with her work::

FCO Lorehani says:
CSO:  Got the hint Ma'am...going to maximum warp...9.5 I believe.   ::Chuckles to herself since she can hear Hope taping her fingers.::   Engaging 9.9.

EO Dylan says:
::Hears Warp 9.9, turns with eyes wide::

CSO Lane says:
:: Sighs  and thinks that Lore is losing it again ::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: Long range sensors pick up the Seleya and Nighthawk along with a few unidentified vessels.  They also detect 13 Nacandarian vessels moving in what appears to be an attack formation…

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: I'm picking up our rendezvous...as well as 13 Nacandarian ships, sir.

SO Kilmer says:
::Tries to get an image on the main viewscreen::

EO Dylan says:
::Thinks great...only 13 of them::

TO Vandross says:
CSO: Awaiting your orders Commander.

OPS N’Duh says:
::Picks up bits and pieces of transmissions, most of them Federation signatures::

CSO Lane says:
:: Moves her chair to the ready room door then pauses ::   SO: 13?

FCO Lorehani says:
::Reaches under console and pulls out her head phones...she turns the music on to her new favorite earth group of the day…Peter Paul and Mary.  Enjoys the song Puff the Magic Dragon.  Also it made more sense then a song about spiders going up water spouts.  She still can't figure out that one.::

SO Kilmer says:
:: Feeds Nacandarian sensor targets to the TO's console for tactical analysis ::

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: Confirmed..13, sir.

OPS N’Duh says:
CSO: I'm picking up bits and pieces, mostly static...Federation signatures, transmissions.

CSO Lane says:
SO: How far away are the Nacandarian’s?

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: One moment sir....

SO Kilmer says:
::Analyzes sensor data::

FCO Lorehani says:
::Sings under her breath as she taps in some escape routes into her console...just in case.::

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Encode a message to the Nighthawk and Seleya to prepare for incoming hostiles.

OPS N’Duh says:
CSO: Aye

CNS Martin says:
::Pauses in her work for a moment, deciding how to phrase something about the different afflictions of the V'Rax, and continues::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION:  Long range sensors show a weapons being fired at the designated coordinates given by the Seleya…

CSO Lane says:
TO: Take us to red alert status now!

OPS N’Duh says:
::Sends encoded messages to the Nighthawk and Seleya, prepare...etc::

SO Kilmer says:
CSO:  They are in close proximity to the rendezvous...I'm picking up fire, sir!

TO Vandross says:
CSO: Aye commander. :: Initiates red alert::

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore time to intercept?

EO Dylan says:
CSO: I'll be in Main Engineering ma’am.

OPS N’Duh says:
::Coordinates with Engineering bringing all shields and weapons on line::

FCO Lorehani says:
::Hears the klaxons sound and pulls the head phones off and places them around her neck.  Double checks her console.::  CSO: 30 minutes Ma'am...   ::Frowns hoping they can hold out that long.::   I hope we can get there in time.

CSO Lane says:
:: Nods to the EO ::

CNS Martin says:
::Glances up at the change in the lighting::   Self: One ship you can't get the engines fixed without interruptions, the other you can't finish a report. Sheesh. Maybe I should have stayed at the Academy...on second thought. No.

EO Dylan says:
::Enters the turbolift and heads to main engineering::

Host Sheri says:
ACTION: The Vesuvius receives a call from both the Nighthawk and the Seleya requesting any Federation ships in the area to respond with their ETA to the coordinates….

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: Fire is targeted at the coordinates we received from the Seleya...I'm reading several unidentified vessels, as well.

OPS N’Duh says:
CSO: Receiving message from the Seleya and Nighthawk, requesting assistance and ETA

CSO Lane says:
All: Ok people, it looks like we can't avoid this fight...prepare yourselves.

::Enters main engineering:: All: Ok its time to go to work. I want every ounce of power we can squeeze out of this ship. Coordinate all power distribution with OPS. Let's get it done!

FCO Lorehani says:
::Feels the familiar rush of adrenaline.::  CSO:  Approximately 25 minutes now Ma'am.

SO Kilmer says:
::Runs a tactical sensor analysis for weaknesses on the Nacandarian vessels::

CSO Lane says:
OPS: Can you get a total on the number of Federation and alliance ships?

OPS N’Duh says:
::Shuts down all non-essential power usage::

OPS N’Duh says:
CSO: Checking...

FCO Lorehani says:
::Turns to Hope.::  CSO:  Ma'am...I can have some of my flyers on standby...the shuttles are a little harder to hit and could deliver quite the punch and the Nacandarian’s may not be expecting them.

EO Dylan says:
*OPS*: This is Dylan, we're going to boost the Warp Core to 110%. We'll give you all she has.

CSO Lane says:
TO: Give me a tactical read out on the Nacandarian’s.

CNS Martin says:
::Saves her work, and stands from her desk, hoping the hypospray she received earlier will last until the ship is out of a battle situation::

::Sits up straight as she is rocked a bit...disappointed.::   All:  Well that sucked.

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: Readings on the tunnel are beginning to fluctuate!

OPS N’Duh says:
::Checks the power grid::

CSO Lane says:
SO: What's the reason? The shockwave?

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: I don't know, but I fear our time is short...that tunnel could close instantaneously

CSO Lane says:
FCO: Lore, take us to warp and get us through that tunnel corridor.

OPS N’Duh says:
::Looks up at the viewscreen again::

CNS Martin says:
::Checks various systems from the console she is using::

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: The tunnel entrance continues to decrease in its stability.

FCO Lorehani says:
::Taps her console.::   CSO:  Err Ma'am...problem with the warp engines…they are off line

SO Kilmer says:
CSO: A sad report...the Chieftain

OPS N’Duh says:
::Sends more power to the warp engines::
