<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host ACO_Claymore says:
::Waiting to transport over to the Reagan::
AXO_Savar says:
::Waiting with Cmdr. Claymore to beam over::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::In sickbay sitting up on a biobed, collar bone good as... almost new, still sore though::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles at Donnie:: CMO: So.... am I ready to go?
FCO_Charn says:
::on the bridge, still at her station::
CMO_Cook says:
::smiles back at her::  SO: Well, you are almost as good as new but it will be sore for awhile
MO_Calahan says:
::stands just inside the CICU doors, watching Petty, the monitors, the nurses...everything...closely..unbelieving he came out of this...well, alive::
MO_Calahan says:
::sips her cappuccino- same 16-oz. cup as usual::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
TR-man: Energize.
CEO_Janarn says:
::turns to CTO Gabel:: CTO: Mr. Gabel, can you take over here, please?
CTO_Gabel says:
CEO: No problem, Mr. Janarn
SO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: I know. Well... ::hops off the bed:: Back to the bridge?
FCO_Charn says:
::turns around to tactical:: CTO: Maintain extensive sensor sweeps, Mr. Gabel.
CTO_Gabel says:
::Begins working where the CEO left off::

ACTION: The ACO and AXO beam over to the magnificent USS Reagan.

MO_Calahan says:
::from what she observed, he was sleeping quite comfortably- the rising and falling of his chest indicate deep, even breaths- a good sign....and his heart rate is remaining the same, still...she's amazed...and thinking if Cora will make it off as well..::
CTO_Gabel says:
::runs back and starts running sensor sweeps::  FCO: Aye
CEO_Janarn says:
OPS: Mr. Warren, let's work on the defensive part of the operation.  Let's go to the holodeck and do some sims.
AXO_Savar says:
@::Rematerializes in the Reagan's Transporter Room, looking around for the expected Security Team to escort them... and being disappointed::
SO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: Oooo... at my desire? ::smiles one of those smiles at him:: say that and I may never leave. ::teasing tone::
FCO_Charn says:
::watches the girl at OPS, remembers her from times past... Blythe if she's not much mistaken::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::sees a Lt that ushers them in a certain direction:: AXO: Shall we?
AXO_Savar says:
@::Nods::
CMO_Cook says:
::knows he shouldn't and if Savar was around to see he would have a fit, but he does it any way.  He moves closer to Heather and gives her a kiss, not really a breath taking kiss but a kiss no the less::

ACTION: The Security Lt waves the AXO and ACO to the corridor.

Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::follows Lt.::
MO_Calahan says:
<Nurse Keavey> ::approaches Keely from the console in Petty's room :: MO: Hey- he came off pretty well I must say......::she whispers:: and remembers quite a bit of whatever you spilled to him. You honestly didn't think...he'd...did you.....
AXO_Savar says:
@::Follows::

ACTION: During the short trip to the conference room, the ACO and AXO can see several scorch marks along the bulkheads and repair teams still running around.

SO_Llewellyn says:
::enjoys the brief moment:: CMO: I gotta go.... but I love you. ::smiles::
CEO_Janarn says:
::waits for a response from Mr. Warren::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@AXO: With the beating this ship took during the battle I would have expected worse.
MO_Calahan says:
::pales and closes her eyes, leaning her head against the wall...oops....:: Nurse: Exactly how much does he remember? 
CTO_Gabel says:
::Turns to the TO::  TO: Run the Simulations for the CEO's torp. modifications.
TO_Baggins says:
:: enters the bridge knowing he is extremely late ::
CMO_Cook says:
::smiles back at her:: SO: Later, and I love you to.  ::turns to talk with Keely about the OPS::
AXO_Savar says:
@ACO: Perhaps the repair crews were dispatched only to this area, to make it look like that for us

ACTION: The ACO and AXO arrive at the conference room to see Admiral Cromwell and other ships' CO's already there.

FCO_Charn says:
::stands up and leaves her station to a junior officer::
TO_Baggins says:
:: hears the CTO as he enters the bridge and heads to his station to run the sims ::
SO_Llewellyn says:
CMO: well you know where to find me. ::smiles and walks out of sickbay::
CEO_Janarn says:
*CMO*: Mr. Cook, is Mr. Warren able to return to duty?
MO_Calahan says:
<Nurse Keavey> ::sees CMO approaching, and whispers in Irish to Keely before walking back to her station:: MO: Uh-oh...looks like you're in for a treat....
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::enters the room, giving the proper respect to each Captain and the Admiral, then waits to be invited to sit::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::walks down the hall to the lift::
CTO_Gabel says:
::Continues to run scans of the system, but no contacts are apparent::
MO_Calahan says:
::sighs and drinks 1/3 more of the cappuccino, feeling the steaming liquid relax and energize her....ah...she would certainly kill everyone without cappuccino...::
FCO_Charn says:
::walks to Janarn:: CEO: What's the estimated time left with the repairs, lieutenant?
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@::motions for the Thomas crew to sit at the chairs available::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::waits for the car to arrive, then enters:: TL: bridge.
CMO_Cook says:
::walks up to Keely, glances towards Keavey but doesn't say anything:: MO: Is Mr. Warren ready for duty?
TO_Baggins says:
:: begins to run sims on the torp. modifications ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::takes a seat, then patiently waits to hear what the Admiral has called them for::
AXO_Savar says:
@::Takes his seat, giving enough of his attention to the Admiral::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::waits for the car to arrive on the bridge and exits::
CMO_Cook says:
*CEO* I am checking with Dr. Calahan now
SO_Llewellyn says:
::takes a minute to look around the bridge and sees SCI I is vacant, wonders where Washudoin is::
CEO_Janarn says:
*CMO*: Thank you, Dr.  I've got to get working on defensive modifications now and could use his help.
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All:  OK, let's get started.  We know now the Skree's general strategy.  How do we get past that bloody minefield?
MO_Calahan says:
::swallows hard...oh yes....:: CMO: Sorry...I...didn't mean to dump him on you like that. I know you wanted to treat Heather......the nurses tell me he is recovering well form the surgery we performed, and should be able to return to duty after a dose of anti-drowsiness medication.....::feels horrid about dropping one patient for one that had been there forever and was likely not going to leave anytime soon...::
FCO_Charn says:
::nods at Heather, glad to see she's fine::
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: Sir, I've got repairs complete.
SO_Llewellyn says:
::starts walking over to SCI I, passing by TAC:: TO: Hello, Frodo. Nice to see you ::smiles, nods to the FCO::
CMO_Cook says:
::smiles:: MO: It is okay, and from what I could see Petty really wanted you anyway
MO_Calahan says:
::runs her finger around the rim of the cup...and then pauses, raising an eyebrow at Cook over narrowed eyes:: CMO: What is that supposed to mean?
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@::looks around at all the other CO's shrugging their shoulders::
TO_Baggins says:
::smiles back at Heather :: SO: Hello, Heather.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@Admiral: Excuse me sir, but I still don't think we have verified that the station is still on the other side of it, scans from my ship indicate that it isn't within the area. I'm also fairly certain that the Skree couldn't install one of their cloaks on the station so quickly, especially after our sabotage.
CEO_Janarn says:
::works very hard on the shields::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::starts configuring SCI I to her liking::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::starts hunting for anything unusual on the sensors::
FCO_Charn says:
CEO: Thank you ::turns around to let the man work on shields as it looks and walks to science::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@ACO: Very good observations.  Not only have they not had enough time to install a cloak...or whatever they use...they also haven't had time to move it.  The station is still there, folks.  Skroth has informed me that the most likely thing is that the Skree battlestation has enveloped Arcadia in its own cloak.
CMO_Cook says:
MO: I just meant that I am sure he would have rather seen you when he fist woke up, rather then some Dr. he didn't know
SO_Llewellyn says:
::smiles at the FCO's approach:: FCO: Ms. Charn, what can I do for you?
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm/COs: I have an idea.
CEO_Janarn says:
::works very hard on improving defensive capabilities, including some tricks up his sleeve having to do with sensor grids::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::says something to himself about how lovely life is with the Skree around... listens to Savar::
FCO_Charn says:
::smiles back, conscious of the formality:: SO: Well, you could disarm a minefield... but in the meantime I'd be interested at the Skree not surprising us again.
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: Cook, he never knew me. He was unconscious when we found him, comatose when Jadis and I saved him, and has been ever since...::looks back at Petty:: Somehow making it through every scrape and avoiding a transfer to SF Medical.
CTO_Gabel says:
::still running scans::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Savar:  Go ahead.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Would you happen to have anything to work with? At the time, Lieutenant Gabel is scanning extensively, but I wonder if it will be enough.
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm/COs: Our CTO came up with an idea to disable the mines using a graviton pulse emitted from the deflector dish.  If the entire fleet came in from all different sides, dropping out of warp at the edge of the minefield in a coordinated effort, we may be able to simultaneously take out most, if not all of the minefield.
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm/COs: Since we're coming in from different directions, the Skree fleet can't engage all of us
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Hm.... well I've never done that before... let me see what I would need and get back to you on that. ::smiles::
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm/COs: Sir.  ::Added as an afterthought, almost::
CMO_Cook says:
::raises an eyebrow:: MO: Oh, I figured that since you spent a lot of time with him, I thought you knew him
MO_Calahan says:
::shakes her head:: CMO: No....I didn't even remember his report coming across as a new crewmember....maybe if I had, it would've saved us some early problems while Jadis and I were working on him. I would've noticed the blood condition he had, which would contribute to the poor circulation he developed and the amount of plasma and blood we had to give him.
AXO_Savar says:
@::Whatever we do, it has to be multivector, so that there will always be ships that can't be engaged immediately::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@::rubs chin thoughtfully::
CTO_Gabel says:
::Thinks to himself: "Even if I continue to scan, we won't detect the Skree until they engage their attack"::
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Before I forget, the CEO needs the Mr. Warren, so the faster we release him the better
FCO_Charn says:
SO: I understand all cloaking devices need a way to dispose of the exhaust energy... and leave a trace of some kind.
MO_Calahan says:
::signs a release PADD Lindsey brings up that will send the OPS back to duty, then hands her cup to Cook and walks toward Warren:: OPS: How do you feel? 
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Savar: Anything further?
OPS_Warren says:
MO: Better, but my head still hurts a little.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Without knowing how the Skree cloak works we have to play it by ear... but the energy must be going somewhere. Right?
CEO_Janarn says:
*CMO*: Any news, Doctor?
MO_Calahan says:
::picks up a hypo and injects him with an anti-drowsiness medication:: OPS: A result of the injuries you sustained. You're free to return to duty, but if the headache gets worse or you grow faint or dizzy, comm us immediately or, if you can, come back.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Ah.... well... most do but the Skree's cloaking is rather unique. We got some additional information on how to detect the cloak, but so far we have detected nothing.
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: Sir, I've got the shields working at 110%.  I think I have a plan that will redirect the Skree weapon back at itself.  Would you like to see?
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm: Only that we have not had time to test this out, sir.  But I must suggest that any attack plan include the multi-vector idea.  That way, there will always be ships that cannot be engaged immediately.
OPS_Warren says:
MO: Thank you.
OPS_Warren says:
::Gets up to leave Sickbay::
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Do what you can. I am sure Lt. Gabel will be glad to work with you as well.
MO_Calahan says:
::nods with a small smile:: OPS: Not a problem ::walks back to Cook and plucks the cappuccino from his hand:: 
FCO_Charn says:
::turns to Janarn:: CEO: Indeed I would.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: As to disarming the mine field... the surest way would be to use phasers and torpedoes and destroy the mines.
MO_Calahan says:
::returns to her previous reclining position::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Savar:  Agreed.  How do we divide our forces?
OPS_Warren says:
::enters the TL to the way to the Bridge::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@::Wonders why Claymore isn't saying much::
CMO_Cook says:
MO: So how is Mr. Petty doing anyway
MO_Calahan says:
*CEO*: Warren is now on his way, I have released him. Any further symptoms should be reported immediately- faintness, dizziness, fatigue.....::trails off and sips her cappuccino::
TO_Baggins says:
:: continues running sims on the torp. modifications ::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::chimes in:: Adm: Those vessels with the most damage and least lateral weapons coverage should be in the center for protection, if we go in from a conical perspective
CEO_Janarn says:
*MO*: Thank you, Keely.  It's much appreciated.
OPS_Warren says:
::exits onto the bridge:: FCO: OPS returning to duty.
CTO_Gabel says:
FCO: I have to disagree with the SO, on disarming the mine field, if we utilize phasers and torpedoes just to get through the mine field we could be open for attack
MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow...'Keely?' she wasn't aware her first name was even known:: *CEO*: 'Tis only my job.
SO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: The phasers do recharge don't they?
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: Sir, if you look at this, you'll see my plan.  ::hits some buttons on the screen and an image comes up of an elaborate shield modification::
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm: If we had more forces, I would not hesitate to suggest splitting into six forces and coming in on all three directions.  However, with our limited forces, that makes only three ships per direction
OPS_Warren says:
::moves to the OPS station and relieves the crewman currently there::
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: There are a few risks.
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: Judging by the falling and rising of his chest, he is breathing evenly and deeply, thus resting comfortably. His heart rate is normal, and circulation is better......we have yet to test his motor skills, unless you count...well....nevermind.
FCO_Charn says:
::nods at Warren:: OPS: Mr. Warren, perhaps you'd be of assistance to the SO's and CTO's work ::motions for him to join the other two::
OPS_Warren says:
::moves to join the group::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Claymore: Good idea.
CTO_Gabel says:
SO: They do ... but ... acquiring multiple targets can put  a significant strain on the phaser array especially attacking on such a large field and possible attacking ships as well
FCO_Charn says:
CTO: What we need is a way to disarm it or destroy it. If we have at least a couple of options it will be of help for the commanding officers to decide which is best.
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: ::activates the simulation:: You see here, the computer takes battle data and then discovers the exact ship frequency.  The next time the ship is fired on, the shield will redirect the blast at the Skree ship.
CMO_Cook says:
::slightly grins at her, as he walks over the replicator and grabs a cup of spice tea::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Savar:  Three ships are not a match for one Skree ship.
FCO_Charn says:
::watches Janarn's screen:: CEO: What if the ship is rotating frequencies...?
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm: That is why splitting into those numbers is not recommended.
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: The computer will be able to pick that up.  The only hitch is that we have to survive the first hit.
CTO_Gabel says:
FCO: I understand that ... but I stand by my Idea of  graviton wave ... effectively causing the field to self-destroy itself
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::doubts don't fade:: Adm: About the station though, if the Skree do have it cloaked, after we have broken through, how would the mission continue?
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All: Our main concern is to open up a hole in the minefield to get the Klingon ships through.
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: I can protect the shield generators, but certain parts of the ship will be exposed.
SO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Is there a reason we cannot acquire the mines as a target one at a time... using the lateral sensors to target the mines and the short range science sensors to detect for the Skree.
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: However, I can guarantee it will work...if we survive the initial blast.
FCO_Charn says:
CTO: As a professional, I am sure you know it is not wise to not have a backup plan. Indulge me.
CMO_Cook says:
::he makes his way back to her::  MO: So if you two don't really know each other, then why did he do what he did?
MO_Calahan says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CMO: What exactly are you referring to Cook?
FCO_Charn says:
CEO: In which case we should do best by choosing which areas to expose.. ::not sure she likes it::
CTO_Gabel says:
SO: acquiring one mine at a time is time consuming, and even while using the science sensors detecting the Skree will be extremely difficult
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Claymore:  all forces would converge on the station and force the Skree battlestation to appear.  ::Looks hopeful::
AXO_Savar says:
@::Wonders how the ships would "force" the battlestation to appear:
SO_Llewellyn says:
CTO: Detecting the Skree is next to impossible period.
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Those motor skills you aren't talking about
MO_Calahan says:
::pauses, glances at him, then drinks more of her cappuccino:: CMO: It can be attributed to.......a....loss of....surroundings...and confusion. Common with post-comatose patients....
SO_Llewellyn says:
::wants to say, "But hey! I am just a stupid Science Officer and I don't know what the heck I am talking about" but keeps the smile plastered on her face::
MO_Calahan says:
::hears a snort from Keavey and eyes her, getting a grin in response with a muttered Irish phrase she couldn't' quite hear...::
FCO_Charn says:
::brings up the ship's schematics:: CEO: All right, let's choose where to take the blast. ::looks at the lieutenant:: How much damage have you estimated it would make?
CMO_Cook says:
MO: It could, and then again it could be that you two made a telepathic connection also, with all that time you were spending in the ICU with him
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: Doubtful. ::drinks more of her cappuccino....:: He is full human, and I would have to be touching him and trying to make a connection......speaking of which, have you ever used one to pull someone out of a coma?
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: A first strike would be about 30% damage.  I think that if we could maneuver the ship to get hit here ::points at the screen:: we should be fine.
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All: Anything further?
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Did you ever talk to him, out loud I mean, he may have actually heard your voice and that is how he "knows" you.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@Adm: Sir, I have an idea, but it will result in throwing out the idea of splitting up or even protecting ourselves. It would rely on quick speed. We'd put one of the Nebula Class vessels, since they have the largest deflector dishes in this task force, in front of a line of ships. We'll warp towards the minefield. The Nebula will fire at the field
FCO_Charn says:
CEO: It will take some perfect synchronizing, but... ::considers the angle and what it would take:: I can do it. ::looks up at Janarn:: We'll just have to see what the captain thinks about this.
CTO_Gabel says:
::wipes head ... looks at the Tac stations and wonders why my expertise in tactical situations was being challenged::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@Adm: In a small area just large enough for all the ships to quickly warp through, and go on towards the station. Again, speed is the key.
MO_Calahan says:
::pauses and looks over at Cook:: CMO: Unfortunately, I did talk with him......sometimes....and it has been proven that some comatose patients hear what is going on around them, similar to patients under in surgery.
FCO_Charn says:
CEO: It will take a lot of work for your crew to keep everything working and under control, though.
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Claymore:  Like a needle through a balloon?
CEO_Janarn says:
::smiles at the FCO:: FCO: Yes, sir.  But my crew can handle it.
MO_Calahan says:
::lowers her voice:: CMO: It was surmised that he was attempting to kill himself using live fireworks in a simulated, contained area. His record as you may know, reflects such an assumption...and it.....well.......::tries to figure out how to phrase it...::
CMO_Cook says:
MO: What do you mean unfortunately, and to answer you question no I haven't ever used my telepathic abilities to get anyone out of a comma, I did try and make a connection with you, but couldn't reach you
FCO_Charn says:
::offers him a small smile back:: CEO: I agree with you after what I've seen today.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@Adm: An extremely fast moving needle at a very large balloon, yes.  It does present of problem of how we can bring in our own re-enforcements too.
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: You tried...when I was in the coma after surgery? And Savar brought me out? 
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Yes, I tried. I could barley hear you, but never could quit reach you.
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All:  we would need to bring all of our forces through at once.
CEO_Janarn says:
FCO: Thank you, sir. I'll have emergency crew standing by.  We'll get through this.
CEO_Janarn says:
::sends a signal to his teams::
AXO_Savar says:
@Adm/COs: We do have three Nebulas, sir.  We could use.. three needles.
MO_Calahan says:
::sighs:: CMO: I don't' even remember feeling your presence.....only Savar's...
FCO_Charn says:
CEO: It's a very interesting idea. ::turns from Janarn to approach science again::
CMO_Cook says:
::shrugs his shoulders:: MO: I can't explain it, but we are all glad Savar did reach you.  You two must be closer then you are willing to admit, and about Petty sounds like he could use a friend, and since you have somewhat grown accustom to him I think you would be a perfect friend when he wakes
CEO_Janarn says:
::continues coordinating efforts with the engineering teams, knowing some lives might be lost but the Federation might be saved::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All:  we also have a Sovereign Class vessel.
CTO_Gabel says:
::continues to scan; but still a large sense of frustration engulfs my mind::
FCO_Charn says:
SO: How is it going? ::points to Heather's console::
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: He has awoken...and I agree at the moment....we have more in common than I would've admitted at first...if his motive was as they surmised, and even if it was not....
CMO_Cook says:
MO: I thought he was sleeping
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All: Here's an idea: the Reagan will lead one arrow
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Nothing new... ::whispers:: I am sorry.... I am still not sure as to what you want me to do. ::smiles meekly::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All: Two Nebulas will lead the other two.
FCO_Charn says:
::feels guilty and smiles back:: SO: Two things.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Alright. ::listens::
FCO_Charn says:
SO: One of them is an alternative for dealing with the minefield, although doubtless the captain will bring the Admiral-authorized plan with him when he returns.
MO_Calahan says:
::sighs::
SO_Llewellyn says:
::laughs softly::
FCO_Charn says:
SO: The other one is... however unlikely, a way to somehow detect Skree cloaking.
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Is Petty suffering from any memory loss?
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All: We punch through in three different zones.  The Nebula in my group, once thru, will spread torpedoes to locate the enemy.
CEO_Janarn says:
::thinks that maybe they have other alternatives....come up with a pseudo cloak::
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: We have him only resting now....we have yet to determine that, but we will after he has rested some.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: I have an idea, but it's not easy to implement in certain areas of space... or during a battle.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: I did tons of research... and so have the best minds of Starfleet... the best thing that has come of that was some information that Skroth gave us... and we have calibrated our sensors using his information.  It still has yet to do us any good.  All I can do is sit  here and watch and wait. ::sighs in frustration::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All: The rest of our forces will engage the Skree
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Then it is agreed as soon as he wakes, and you have had a chance to run some test on him.  You will be his shall I say Counselor ::smiles::
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: I am all ears if it comes to a plan of action.
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All: Opinions?
FCO_Charn says:
::nods:: SO: I can sympathize. ::does not say that she does not think Skroth's information was meant to do them any good::
MO_Calahan says:
::glares at him, then her gaze softens...:: CMO: Maybe....
AXO_Savar says:
@::Figures it's about as good as any ad hoc plan::
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Well, it's actually simplistic... if space has dust particles, a way to detect a cloaked vessel is to find areas without any particles of roughly the same size as a Skree ship.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@Adm: Last one on the Promenade buys drinks for the rest?
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: I think that's been tried and it also failed.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: So you see the disadvantages. It won't do for us to be counting particles when under attack. And it works best in areas of space with high concentrations of particles.
CTO_Gabel says:
::stops his monitoring of the sensors for a moment, closes his eyes & takes a deep breath, trying to reduce the frustration and boredom::
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Yes. Janarn actually did something like this with a blanket that had particles... essentially... and well it did not work so well. The Skree still were only visible when they wanted us to see them
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Wait a second... did you ever detects dust where a Skree ship was later discovered to be?
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Claymore:  Indeed.
CMO_Cook says:
::smiles at her:: MO: well I have some paperwork to catch up on, so if you need me I will be in my office
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@Claymore:  Run back to your ship and run this past your CTO.  The rest of us shall do the same.
CMO_Cook says:
::takes off towards his office, thinking maybe Keely has some niceness in there somewhere::
Host Admiral_Cromwell says:
@All:  Dismissed.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Um... the blanket of particles was to create a detectable wake. It did not work.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
@::stands:: Adm: Sir, Others: Sirs.  ::taps comm badge:: COM: Thomas: Two to beam over
AXO_Savar says:
@::Thought the Admiral told Claymore to RUN... stands up::
FCO_Charn says:
COM: ACO: Understood sir.
FCO_Charn says:
OPS: Beam the Captain and Cmdr. Savar back to the ship, Mr. Warren.
OPS_Warren says:
FCO: Aye sir.
OPS_Warren says:
::beams the Captain and the Commander back::
MO_Calahan says:
::sighs and can't believe she's going to do this:: (((CMO: Mind if we talk a bit?)))

ACTION: The ACO and AXO beam back to the Thomas' TR.

CMO_Cook says:
::motions for Keely to follow him into his office::
FCO_Charn says:
SO: This is most... ::shakes her head:: I'll get back to you on that.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Tell me about it!
Host ACO_Claymore says:
AXO: Let's get back to the Bridge, the Admiral will be ordering us out any minute now
FCO_Charn says:
SO: It's just not possible. That's what I'm thinking.
MO_Calahan says:
::rolls her eyes at Keavey's look, and follows Cook into his office::
AXO_Savar says:
ACO: You're not convinced this will work, aren't you?
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: I agree that it goes against all known laws of physics... well those known by us anyway.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: They are either not in our space, which would mean we're defenseless...
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::steps down from pad:: AXO: I hate not being able to see an enemy that I'm going to fight.
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Do you need a refill on your drink ::places his cup back into the replicator and ask for another::
MO_Calahan says:
::nods and hands over her cup:: CMO: Please.
AXO_Savar says:
ACO: As would any soldier.  I meant you're not convinced the station is still there.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Or else. They've known our technology for a long time now... but I would need to study this with more time.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Hm... true... they well may know our weaknesses in technology to exploit them... ::face actually brightens at the thought::
MO_Calahan says:
::sits down, curling her leg under her:: CMO: You remember what I told you about Cora, Cassie and Kretok, do you not?
CMO_Cook says:
::places her cup, back in the replicator also and get her a fresh brew::  MO: Here, ::hands her the cup and takes a seat behind the desk, not saying any but she actually said please:::  MO: What can I do for you?
CMO_Cook says:
::nods his head::
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: I don't remember... what all did I tell you about Cora's condition?
Host ACO_Claymore says:
AXO: No, but I wasn't going to push it any more than I had. I know some things about cloaking technology in general, not Skree cloaks.  Hopefully the Adm knows his intel.  I just doubt that the Skree can have the technology we're crediting to them, it doesn't seem possible.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: As to the other... wouldn't there be a way we could detect dimensional shift? If they were actually moving from a parallel dimension into ours and then back out?
CMO_Cook says:
MO:  You told me she's hurt and on Earth and in a coma
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Assuming their technology works in such a way.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Yes... although it's not easy. We'll have to work on that overtime.
AXO_Savar says:
ACO: We have no way of knowing that at this point.  ::Calls the turbolift for the Bridge::
FCO_Charn says:
SO: To test either theory... and a number of theories that we probably haven't thought of yet.
MO_Calahan says:
::sighs and sips her cappuccino:: CMO: Well, she has yet to respond to any standard treatments for comatose patients. Her condition is deteriorating, with best possible phrasing. ::closes her eyes and gathers her thoughts, sipping again:: 
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: Well I tried time distortion... there were no detectable chronoton particles.
FCO_Charn says:
SO: Or any other telltale particles if I remember correctly.
CMO_Cook says:
MO: I am assuming you are thinking about going to Earth to be closer to her.
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: I am being encouraged to take her off the minimal life support she is on, but....::pauses, then looks up and continues:: I wanted to try to revive her using a telepathic link and pulling her out. I have never tried it... thus the reason I asked.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
AXO: Which is why I hate everything about this mission. If I were in control I'd head back to base and regroup. We're overpowered, probably out numbered, unable to detect the enemy, much less lock on, we don't even know if the enemy is there at all or if this is an automated ambush. It reeks of a blunder, and I have serious doubts about making it out of this.
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: Yes, it is part of it...and it was the position my mentor originally wanted me to take. Surgeon.
SO_Llewellyn says:
FCO: True. I had considered the possibility of a combination of gray mode and a true cloak... where in they hold in their emissions. But... all we have are theories... and nothing to confirm them with.
AXO_Savar says:
ACO: Time is of the essence.  If we wait too long, the Skree will regroup and push their advantage.  However, I must agree that the odds are against us.  Give the ships we have, and their forces, I estimate roughly...
MO_Calahan says:
CMO: But also, I feel there is no advancement for me here beyond day-to-day duties.....and I think a change to a different environment...would be beneficial...
FCO_Charn says:
::lowers her voice:: SO: And I don't think Skroth will help us much. He hasn't yet...
CMO_Cook says:
MO: Well like I said I couldn't get it to work, I don't know if it was because my Betazed mind couldn't pin point you and that is why a Vulcan could reach you or if it was that you are closer to Savar and that is why worked
AXO_Savar says:
::Thinks for a moment:: ACO: Two thousand, one hundred and fifty two point three to one.  Roughly.
SO_Llewellyn says:
::nods her head solemnly:: FCO: Agreed. ::softly:
MO_Calahan says:
::sighs and sips her cappuccino again::
Host ACO_Claymore says:
AXO: Roughly? At least it's only 2152.3, Kirk and Spock supposedly made it out of tougher situations, what's different between us.... ::pause:: Beyond your full Vulcan heritage
CMO_Cook says:
MO: All I can say is do what you think is best, do what your heart tells you to do,
CTO_Gabel says:
::Thinks: "An espresso would work right about now"::
AXO_Savar says:
::The TL arrives on the Bridge:: ACO: Kirk is now dead.
OPS_Warren says:
Bridge Crew: Captain on the bridge.
FCO_Charn says:
::glad she and Heather agree on that subject, she turns around to greet the ACO and AXO::
MO_Calahan says:
::nods:: CMO: I know....but yet there are things holding me back....
FCO_Charn says:
ACO: Welcome back Captain, repairs are complete. Shields at 110% and Lieutenant Janarn has an idea to present you with, sir.
Host ACO_Claymore says:
::Has a very strange look to greet the crew after Savar's comments::
