Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Prologue: The USS Andromeda has returned to the Mirror Universe and has altered her warp signature to appear as a freighter
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Prologe: The Andromeda has exited the Sol System along with three other freighters
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Resume USS Andromeda "The Mirror Universe" 10804.20
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*TO* Is that ship still following us?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: In medical with the first officer, waiting for him to wisely leave so she can speak with the commandoes.::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Looks down at his console for the tailing vessel.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There is a vessel which is keeping a discrete distance
TO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Aye. She's still following discretely.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Major: We'll pick this up later. I have business to attend to
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The freighters change course and head for deep space leaving the Andromeda to navigate on her own
 
Host Maj_Beachead says:
XO: You do that
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Watches the first officer leave and with a slight shake of her head, turns back to the Major::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The trailing ship alters course to trail the other freighters
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::heads out of sickbay and back to the bridge:: *TO* What is the tactical status of that ship?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::steps into the turbolift::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: That was not very helpful.  Now, before I start, how are you feeling?  :: runs a scan on him.::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: That ship is following the other freighters and no longer tailin' us, sir.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: I am here to serve a duly authorized arrest warrant I am not here to be polite
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Steps onto the bridge:: TO: Check the sensors to see if they are communicating with anyone?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Refrains from reminding the major of his current situation.::  Maj: Sir, are you up to my explaining to you the situation?  You will have to make a decision.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Taps a few controls on the console to affirm the XO's suspicions.::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: Communications intercept a message from a vessel identifying itself as the 'La Amistad'
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Comm: To Any Rebellion Craft: We are the newly liberated slave ship La Amistad fleeing from Alliance slave traders, please assist us
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: I will not join mutineers if that is what you mean
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Ship has identified itself as La Amistad, but they are fleeing the Klingon patrol ships and are asking for assistance.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: A trap?
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: LRS detect the freighter being pursued by 2 Alliance Birds of Prey
 
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: We were went on an assignment to discover what happened to a group of scientists.  Suffice it to say, we discovered what happened to them.  However, we also discovered that there was more then met the eye and the Romulans were involved.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Two BOPs would indicate that they aren't necessarily springin' a trap, but if we do help, I recommend we keep the Amistad at arm's length to confirm their story.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: I still don’t follow how that justifies you looting Utopia Planetia
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Can we take the bird of preys?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Of course. They don't seem any different from BOPs from our dimension.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Scene: LRS are tracking the pursuit which is on a vector away from the Sol system
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: We discovered there was stones of power that could do... quite a bit of harm.  An avatar told us the story and what will happen if the stones are not recovered.  There is one stone, that basically will keep those who have it, safe from the others.  The Avatar sent us to where the white gem resides... which is... here... in another dimension.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Take us about but keep a distance so it doesn't appear obvious
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye. Commin' about. ::Has the Andromeda turn towards the Amistad and the BOPs.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: What are the odds we could disable both ships with ease
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: In this dimension, we found ourselves aboard a ship that was the alternate to ours.  And we found a crew that was ready and did try to commit mutiny.  We humanly dealt with them.  And then discovered, we were involved in another situation... the people here, want to retake Earth.  Apparently it is a slave world now,
 
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The Andromeda plots an intercept course, intercept time is 2 hours at warp two, sensors indicate the BOP will overtake the freighter in 10 minutes
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: So you placed Federation citizens in jeopardy to fight a proxy war in another dimension which has nothing to do with the Federation that’s pretty thin
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: They can out maneuver us easily, I'd say that we could disable them both should they remain in close proximity to each other. We should increase speed to catch up quicker however, the BOPs will over take the Amistad in 10 mins.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: The ship and technology combined with the fact we had a mission to save our own universe by finding the gem stone put us in a quandary.  Then our CSO discovered that there was a way to send us back to our universe, but only for an hour.  That was all we had general, one hour.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Very well, take your position. I have the conn
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Moves back to tactical.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CMO: Our leaders tried to inform you of the situation, but they were not listening and we did not have the time.  A decision had to be made and one was made, for good or bad is yet to be seen.  However, what we do here, is not for this universe, but for owe own.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::takes a seat at the helm and increases warp to intercept:: TO: As soon as in range, open fire
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: And of course you have decided to meddle in the affairs of another universe and drag the Federation into it, does the theory of non interference have no meaning to you
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: You are not listening.  As far as I know, our mission here is not to meddle, but to secure the white gem.  If we do not, and the avatar is correct, you won't have a universe to worry about protecting or interfering with.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The Andromeda increases speed to warp 6 and emerges onto of two very surprised Birds of Prey who break off the attack as the La Amistad begins to vent drive plasma
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Open fire, disable comms first
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: So how do you connect finding an artifact with looting a base I dont follow, pursue you quest in this universe without hurting our people
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO:Aye.::Fires at the BOPs.::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Targeting subspace comm relays on both targets.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Brings the ship around in a standard attack pattern::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Fires phasers at the designated targets.::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The Andromeda fires main phasers which reflect off both Birds of Prey's deflector shields and shake the ships, the Bops are the smaller scout ship types and are attempting to call for help
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Firing torpedoes. ::touches the torpedo toggle.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: The supplies were needed for us to have a chance to succeed in what is yet to come in this universe.  Which by the way, we are no longer meddling but have found ourselves caught up in.  There are no prime directives being broken here... at least not knowingly by us.  And I sincerely hope that none of our people were harmed in this ships action
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: Persistent phaser fire on the Birds of Prey is ionizing local space making subspace transmissions difficult, the Bops have never seen a Federation Starship before and are reeling under the assault
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: You still could  have pursued your quest without stealing from the Federation I mean what is your plan to get this artifact? Couldn't you just find it covertly, ?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::When the torpedoes weaken the shields further, uses phasers with increased intesity to destroy the comms relays..::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::brings the Andromeda around again for another strike::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: wryly:: Maj: The stone is on Earth, where a battle is about to be waged at great cost of lives.  Could we have?  I don't know.  I don't know the time context.  I don't know what we will find.  I don't know where the Romulans stand other then already having used one of the stones at the cost of the lives of the scientists.
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: Let me ask you this question...
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Continues to fire.::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action :One burst of phaser fire causes a Bird of Prey's shields to flicker at the same moment it catches a torpedo strike across the midsection of the hull incinerating the neck section and completely destroying the Alliance ship which explodes into a shower of debris, slag and atmosphere
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj:  You have been informed that group of civilians, or perhaps your own people have suddenly vanished... what would you do?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Try not to destroy the next one, I have some plans for it
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Disaabling the other target vessel.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The Bird of Prey starts to flee its comm system has been burned out
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Glances over at the door, wondering how soon it would be before wounded came through it... she could feel the ship moving and responding in battle.::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Switches the target to the BOP's engines.::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: If you allow me to review your logs and data entries regarding the Avatar and the gems I will consider assisting you
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The Bird of Prey continues to flee!
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::brings the Andromeda around and tails it::
 
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Fires at the engines::   .::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods and reaches over to bring the vidscreen forward.::  Maj: You can pull up the information yourself, we have not hid anything from anything.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The TO tags the starboard engine of the BOP which vents a hydrogen stream and sends the poor ship spinning, she is disabled!
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: She's disabled and adrift, sir.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: How many people are on board?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Tractor beam?
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: Sensors indicate a ship of 20 officers and men
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::nods at the TO::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: 20, sir.::Activates  tractor beam to hold the BOP in place.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: The burden of command, what shall we do with them. We have a currently full brig with commandos in it
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Edit: No cloak on Alliance ship
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CMO* Has the Major come to his senses? I need the brig for someone else
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I thought you said you said you had a pln for them.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: The ship, not the crew
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: I have reviewed your logs and will agree to help you on one condition that on return to Federation Space this ship agrees to return to Starbase One to face Judgment
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: Sensors detect core temperature on BOP rising
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Smiles.:: XO: well, the commandos are comrades. These Klingons aren't our allies. It's your decision.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Curses loudly:: TO: Prepare an immediate boarding party to get on the BOP
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I think beamin' them off the ship onto ours would be a better idea, sir.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*CMO* I need the Major's commandos asap
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: Sensors Detect Deliberate Interruption of Coolant to BOP core
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Core temperature is rising on the BOP, they are trying to destroy it
TO_Lt_Knight says:
I know, that's why I made my suggestion.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Beam them to the brig
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Along her bond with her husband, she breaks into his concentration, giving the majors condition.:: Maj: I would add an addendum to that request.  We need to finish our original mission while we have the upper hand.  We will stay fully in contact with the Federation as usual and you may stay aboard to make sure that we return afterwards.
 
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Beams the crew off of the BOP and switches the tractor beam to a repulsor.::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: Damage to BOP causing drive plasma to vent as well as ionizing in engineering causing transporter lock to fail
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I can't get a lock on 'em.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: One you return to Federation Space and collect your gems then you submit to judgment , do we have a deal?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: Those involved, yes.  And if you can... the first officer really needs your help at the moment.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::brings the ship around where there is less ionization in the transporter path:: TO: What about now?
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: This whole ship, or no deal
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Tries transporters again.::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
Action: The area of ionization surrounds the Klingon Bird of Prey which has opened vents to release more drive plasma
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
Maj: Obviously the entire crew will return, but I believe there are only a few names on that warrant, and those were the ones I was referring too... and thought you were as well.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: Very well, do we have a bargain?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Does the BOP have a docking bay?
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Receiving her husbands agreement.::  Maj: Aye.  And so it is recorded.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Yes.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: Instruct the shuttle bay to prepare a shuttle for immediate departure
Host Maj_Beachead says:
CMO: Then we are agreed what do you want?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye. ::Relays the XO's orders.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
*XO*: Lieutenant, the Major has agreed to help us, with conditions that we will abide by.  What do you need of him?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
TO: You have the bridge then ::Runs into the TL and heads to the sickbay::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Assumes command.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Walks briskly into sickbay:: CMO: What conditions doctor?
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Monitors the recovery of the BOP survivors.::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns as the first officer enters.::  XO: Nothing out of the unusual.  At the conclusion of our original mission, we will return to the nearest starbase to have our actions considered.
XO_Lt_Conor says:
CMO: Very well, we were going to have to face the music anyway
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Maj_Beachead: I need you and your commandos with me now
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: nods::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
XO: Very well I will require my weapons
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Steps aside as the game was now the first officers.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Maj_Beachead: Do I have your word I will not find myself being stabbed in the back by you once that happens
Host Maj_Beachead says:
XO: Of course as long as you uphold the agreement to submit to judgment
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::walks over to the console and taps a message out to the TO out of sight:: TO: Keep a sensor lock on major and team. do not trust.
TO_Lt_Knight says:
*XO*: Aye.
Host Maj_Beachead says:
XO: You do agree to submit to judgment yes?
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Maj_Beachead: Call your commandos and tell them to work with us and I'll release them
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Maj_Beachead: I do
Host Maj_Beachead says:
XO: Then we have a bargain
Host Maj_Beachead says:
::suits up in his gear with the rest of his 20 commandos who put on night goggles and load their phaser rifles and pull over beam reflective armor
XO_Lt_Conor says:
Maj_Beachead: We're going to the shuttle bay, we need to capture a Klingon BoP. Sensors indicate 20 crew on board, warp core breach in 10 minutes
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Watches, observing, making sure they are all fine.::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
XO: Lets do this ::signals his men ::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::heads out of sickbay towards the shuttle bay with 21 heavily armed commandos following::
Host Maj_Beachead says:
All: Alright men load your weapons,  link your body armor, individual oxygen on....magnetize boots
XO_Lt_Conor says:
::Arrives in the shuttle bay and hops into a cargo shuttle and begins preflights::
CMO_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As the men leave, she looks around at her team::
TO_Lt_Knight says:
::Monitors the XO and the commandos as requested.::
XO_Lt_Conor says:
*TO* This is Shuttle 1, departing momentarily. Bring the Andy about and keep a safe distance
