Resume USS Andromeda "Counter Espionage" 10903.22
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: Our heroes and heroine are in the briefing room discussing a plan!
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Sitting next to the science officer at auxiliary, keeping a close eye on the situation around them.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Give the plan once more, just so I'm sure we've got it.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Sitting in the briefing room with the counselor and TO, listening to ideas while the captain and XO are currently busy::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: We stage a coordinated rush on the orbital platforms. Since this is their first line of defense. After our surprise thrust on them, we immediately hit the robot barracks, as they would be their secondary response.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: And while we hit the barracks, the Silverhawk hits the slave pens and get those people out?
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
All:  There are alot more of them then of us.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Since they'll have no forces in the area to stop us, we'll have time to explore the dig site as well as a coordinated extraction of the human slaves. The robots' will be forced tto recall ships to reinforce these facilities. That should give us a few hours tops. Give or take a few minutes.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Hence the element of surprise.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CMO: That's why we attack the barracks. Most of their forces are in reserve to respond to any emergency situation . Take those out, and you shrink down any resistance.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
TO:  I can see a rescue of the slaves.  But time to explore?  :: shakes her head::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are orbital defense platforms around the shipyards and missle sites on the surface
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: There are also similar defenses around the slave pens but not as heavily fortified
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: There could be information in that library that turns out to be useful.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Scene: The robots continue to dig and probe around the library ruins
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CMO: We'll sensd an AT to explore, while the 'Hawk sends a team, aided y a strike team from us to extract the slaves. A two-pronged simultaneous mission to save time and increase the chances of either mission to succeed.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
TO:  The ship will drop us off and draw the others away?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CMO: They'll be around to watch our backs, but yes. That's the plan.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
All: We're already coordinated with the 'Hawk and they are ready to go. I just need the word.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
All:  Who will go on our team?
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
All: I'm ready if you are.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CMO: I was waiting on the Cap'n to tell me. But since he's busy I guess the one in charge'll do the assignin'
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: TO: I guess that's me. ::looks at them both:: All: Who wants to check out some books.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: raises an eyebrow as if that question does not need a response from her.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CMO: The Cap'n'd kill me if I let you go down there without me an' got killed.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
TO: Indeed.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at Knight with a twinkle in her eyes but her voice completely serious::  TO:  That is a possibility.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::slaps the table and gets up:: All: The Captain and XO can direct the hits while we go down.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
<add: the the library>
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stands::  All:  I will meet you in the transporter room.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
ALL: Let's go. We've got robots to junk.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Exits the room and quickly heads down to medical to gather her equipment, which is always ready.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Stands at tactical taking the ship to red alert.::
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stepping into her office, Suzi following behind her, she has a quick word with her, giving her the shortened version of what is going on and to prepare for the slaves.  Then with gear in hand, she exits, leaving things in Storms charge.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::Gets down to the transporter room to get all the equipment together, including some phaser rifles::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
CNS: Weapons and shields ready. Silverhawk is also at ready status. We are go.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*TO*: Then lets get started, I'm almost ready down here.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Arriving at the transporter room first, she does a quick check.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
*CNS*: We've engaged the orbital platforms.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Everything in order, she takes a deep breath.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::glances up at the CMO as she enters:: *TO*: Very well, see you as soon as you're done there.
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Oversees the coordinated attack on the orbital weapons and continues to monitor the 'Hawk before he is replaced at tactical.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
*CNS*: I'll be down there as soon as the Andy has a heart to heart with a few more platforms.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Silverhawk and the Andromeda enter the enemy area
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Orbital defense ports begin firing immediately!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::grins:: *TO*: By all means let that happen. ::smiles:: CMO: Are you ready?
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Impacts to forward shields, the ship shakes!
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CNS:  Do you want a logical comment to that?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Grits teeth as he fires salvos of torpedoes at the platforms.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Silverhawk and Andromeda opening fire on orbital defenses
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Reads his monitors to see the ?Hawk sharing the engagement.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
CMO: Why not? ::checks his throwing knife::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: A brutal slugfest is underway local space is being ionized from the extensive particle beam exchange!
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
CMO:  This mission has many 'holes' in it.  However, I am also very curious.  So in the latter, I am ready.
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::nods:: CMO: Its the best we can do, so we'd better be extra vigilant.
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Torpedo activity is causing pockets of energy dispersions in the space above the planet,
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Shields at 85 percent
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
*CMO/CNS*: Hope the shaking hasn't caused any of ya to shudder. As soon as the last platform goes down, I'll be on my way. My replacement will lower shields and raise them as fast as he can so we can slip in.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: steps up onto the platform and turns with a lifted brow at the counselor.::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The high energy exchanges are jamming transporter locks at this altitude!
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
*TO*: Understood. How many more to deal with?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
*CNS*: Only two. We're takin' on each, that should speed things up a bit.
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Listens to the transporter chief as he explains that he cannot get a transporter lock::
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Shields at 50% the area in orbit is now completely ionized!
CMO_Cmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: steps down to see if she can assist.::
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
::Watches the platforms break up from the constant fire from both vessels. Gets ready to go to the TR.::
CNS_Cmdr_Varesh says:
::watches over the TR chief's shoulder as they work on the problem:: CMO: Drop to a lower orbit?
TO_LtCdr_Knight says:
*CNS*: You two may want to move to the shuttlebay. The area is highly ionized now. More than I thought they would've in my prep.
