Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, watching reports come in.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::looking at the manifest of the attacked vessels, trying to find anything of value::

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  Ensign, have you been able to reach SFC yet?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: moving from Main Tactical to Tac 2, making adjustments to the Ship's Weapons and Shields.::

OPS_Nash says:
::on bridge, working on getting Communications working::

CSO_Nash says:
:: At his station working on finding the virus. Initiates a system scan as they enter the coordinates.::

CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: Captain, I was thinking.  Doesn't our ship have computer back-up files?  Why can't we just reinstall the back-ups?

Host jCO-Adams says:
@::paces what is left of his bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All Hands*: We don't know who's doing this, or what they're after, but we know one thing.  They aren't going to get away with it.  We will get the virus under control, and we will stop the attacks before it's too late.

jEO_Wilson says:
@::grunts, as he wipes a bead of sweat from his forehead:: jCO: Aiya, yes, captain, I have, and they've responded. Help is on the way... it's coming, sir. ::grunts::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Do we have anything resembling communications yet?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::smiles as he hears the Captain's pep talk::

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  Needless to say, there is going to be heck to pay ensign... If I hadn't seen the attack myself, I wouldn't believe it.

OPS_Nash says:
CO: Not at this time, its a real mess in there.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: They're coming... and we'll get to the bottom of this, I'M SURE. ::looks around the bridge as the jCO paces:: jCO: A disgusting attack, sir.

Host jCO-Adams says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee is now within 100,000 kms of the 3 ships, two totally destroyed, one limping badly.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain!  Coming up on what looks like a battlefield...it isn't pretty sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Any signs of an attacker still in the system?

CEO_Pandora says:
::In engineering, looking for information on the 'thing' Nash gave him::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CSO: Any lifesigns Mr. Nash?

CSO_Nash says:
CO/XO: Ships coming up on sensors. I have two totally destroyed and a third heavily damaged but limping along.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  Do we have weapons yet Ensign?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: uses the Tactical sensors to search for any signs of an attacker. ::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: smacks the console. :: CO: No sign of anyone other than us, Captain.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: Checking, sir... ::looks up:: Incoming ship... The USS Cherokee, sir!

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  Who?  ::turning so abruptly he almost hits the ensign in the face::  You have to be kidding... I want weapons brought to bear Ensign, if you have to get out and push them yourself!

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  As you can see, I am having my teams attempting a rewire job to see if we can get something for Communications. ::she motions to her staff who works near the console to see if it can be rewired::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We can try, but to do so we'll have to shut down the main computer, and right now we have a crisis to deal with.

CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: I understand, Sir.  It was just a thought.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: I'm on it, sir! By the gods, I am... ::brings up all the weapons systems and frantically works to supply power to whatever he can get::

Host jCO-Adams says:
@::runs over to the OPS console and taps a button::  COM: Cherokee:  Have you come back to finish the job?  Well by God, you will not leave this time without a fight!

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks shocked and then at the OPS :: OPS: What are they talking about?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: I need that comm system back up, now!

CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans ship.::  XO: Local battlefield radiation is interfering right now, but they aren't powerless and with movement, there has to be someone alive over there.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Takes the device, walks to another station, not connected to main systems, and makes an interface with the device::

OPS_Nash says:
::looks at the CTO::  CTO:  No clue.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  Do I have weapons or don't I?

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I am trying Sir, it’s a mess.

CSO_Nash says:
*CEO*: How are things going down there? Any blips yet?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: I'll assemble an away to team to rescue the survivors, sir.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: Still working on it, captain! Gods! We have nothing - we lost EVERYTHING in the attack! ::slams his fist on his console:: Sorry, sir...

CEO_Pandora says:
*CSO*: We're working on it... Right now, I'm trying to make the device interface with our computers.. Of course, the console has been sealed off from any major systems...

Host jCO-Adams says:
@::nags his fist on the console::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Not as big a mess as it will be if they give that fight they are talking about.  Get me a string and a pair of cups if you have to.

CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: Captain, I am getting a bad feeling about this.  Why would they think we came back to finish the job, unless they think we were the one's that attacked them.  Is it possible when our ship was taken, that someone took control of our ship and shot at them?

jEO_Wilson says:
@::scrambles to allocate power somehow:: jCO: ... But... we do have limited phasers! We have limited phasers, sir!

CEO_Pandora says:
::Taps a few buttons to start the link, then initiates a scan of the device's software::

CSO_Nash says:
*CEO*: Excellent precaution. I'll monitor your progress from here.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  Fire, fire until we have no power left!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Have Chief Pandora prepare Damage control teams as well.  Time for a trial by fire.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::overhears the CNS:: CNS: That would definitely fit the facts.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: checks his console. :: CO: Captain, Jacksonville is trying to arm weapons, those nuts are actually talking about us!

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: With GREAT pleasure, sir! ::activates the phaser banks and starts firing, slamming his fist on the button as if to imbue it with greater magnitude::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir. *CEO*: Damage control teams to Transporter Room 2, on the double.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Braces herself for an attack.::

Host jCO-Adams says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee is now 5,000 kms from the Jacksonville when the com panel lights up, they are able to send communications.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Incoming Phaser fire!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: And it's exactly what I'm afraid of.  Helm, back us away until we regain communications!

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: Can they get enough power to weaken our shields?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Helm: Evasive!  CTO: Keep shields up, but disarm weapons.  It's a gamble, but we have to show we aren't here to fight.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@COM: Cherokee:  Take that you traitors!

OPS_Nash says:
::gets a report that the COMM can work::  CO:  The Comm is working on limited capacity, you can try to hail the other ships.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins to scan the systems for the virus.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Jacksonville: Hold your fire, we're here to help!

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: shakes his head but still looks shocked at who is firing at him. :: CSO: Doubtful, looks like they only have one or two banks left.  :: Targets the remaining weapons bank. :: CO: I have phasers locked on their weapon systems, awaiting your order to fire, Sir.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@COM: Cherokee:  Yeah right you traitors... you almost got my ship, but I will go down fighting!

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: You tell 'em, sir! ::grunts:: The fools... they haven't even powered up their weapons! Fools!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO/CSO: Can we lock a tractor beam on them without tearing their ship apart?

CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: Did anyone ever check to see if we fired any weapons, Sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Negative, shut down weapons completely.

CEO_Pandora says:
*CSO*: Understood.... *XO*: Aye sir, they're on their way... ::Signals an engineer to come closer:: Engineer:: Have damage control teams three and four report to transporter room two on the double...

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  They haven't armed?  What are they waiting for, Christmas?

CSO_Nash says:
:: Runs a structural scan on the Jacksonville.::

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  If they get close, I will need to set self-destruct with me.  Let’s hope help gets to us in time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Comm: Hold your fire.  Our weapons are shutting down, we are not here for a fight.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: Looks confused but does as the Captain says....keeping weapons offline. :: CO: Sir..shields holding. Why are they firing on us though?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: You don't want to know the guess, Lieutenant.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: Who knows what those freaks are waiting for, just as long as OUR weapons are still powered. Shall I continue blasting them to kingdom come?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Sir, I think we need to go over there and get them. Tell them that we will send medical teams to assist. Who knows what they might try.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@Computer:  This is Captain Adams, on my authority, Ensign Adams has authority with me to set self destruct.  Ensign, give the computer your code.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I know, but we can't send boarding teams into a ship firing upon us.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: Aye, sir. Computer: This is Ensign Adams, authorization 3-5-Omega-7.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  Continue firing until we have no power left... they will NOT get my ship.

CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: Captain, why don't we send a representative from our ship to go to talk to them.  I would be willing to beam aboard to try to talk to them.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Begins scanning the Jacksonville in earnest.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: If we can get a tractor lock on them we can keep them out of danger. Mr. Nash is computing that right now.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@Computer:  This is Captain Adams, confirm self-destruct in 30 minutes.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Comm: Jacksonville: If you desist firing, we will shut down our shields.  We obviously don't want to destroy you.  Can we send a medical and repair team over to assist?

Host jCO-Adams says:
@<Computer> jCO:  Confirmed Captain Adams, self-destruct is now armed, counting down from 30 minutes.

jEO_Wilson says:
@::is so... so full of rage for his "fellow officers" on the Cherokee, that he doesn't even realize what they're about to do...:: jCO: With pleasure, sir! ::selectively targets sensitive areas of the Cherokee:: jCO: As long as they are destroyed... then nothing else matters.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@jEO:  You will receive a medal for this Ensign, I will make sure of it.  Send our latest developments to SFC.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Prepare your teams, if they won't talk, we'll use the Tractor to find you a safe place to beam in.  Weapons on Stun, only on last resort.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain...I don't think that’s a good idea.  I am detecting energy shunts on what’s left of the Jacksonville, it looks like they are setting their self destruct up.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sees a power spike on the Jacksonville.:: CO/XO: They have set self destruct on that ship.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Glances at the MSD while the scan of the device is running::

Host jCO-Adams says:
ACTION:  As the CO walks by the science console, it blows up, striking the Captain unconscious.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: Aye... sir. ::compiles information onto a report, and just then does he realize what's happening:: Self: Self-destruct... ::grunts:: For the good of the Federation. ::sends out the report to SFC:: jCO: Report sent, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Comm: Jacksonville: Whoever is in charge over there, listen to me.  We aren't here to hurt you.  Think about it, what would we have to gain by returning unarmed, if indeed we are the ones who did this?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir. We will make them see we are not their enemy. CTO: Prepare a small Security force to accompany the Away team.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Can you find a safe place to beam them in?  I can't believe this is happening.

Host jCO-Adams says:
ACTION:  The Federation ships enter the system at speed towards the Cherokee and Jacksonville.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: taps a few buttons on his console. speaking softly into a com channel then looking up to face the XO. :: XO: Security teams Alpha and Bravo standing by in Transporter room 1 and 2.

jEO_Wilson says:
@COM: Cherokee: Too late for that, captain! You've already hurt us, and now we are going to hurt you before you HURT anyone else! ::screams, as he continues firing, as the Jacksonville tries to maneuver in her sorry state:: For glory and the Federation!

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: Cherokee:  Cherokee, this is CO Smith of the Esters, respond please.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Esters: This is Captain Ayidee, can you hear our Transmission?

CSO_Nash says:
CO: I believe that I can find a hole in their shields. CO: We have multiple signatures incoming.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: How far, and what type?

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: Cherokee:  Yes Captain, I can hear you.  Stand down immediately, do you understand me?

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: Keeps his eyes on both the Jacksonville and the new arrivals.::

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: Jacksonville:  This is CO Smith, stand down over there.  We are here.  Cease firing.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Esters: I'm afraid I do.  Helm: Move us out of range, and then full stop.  All: Once they stop firing, shut down everything.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Three incoming. Various Federation ships,.

jEO_Wilson says:
@COM: Esters: This is the Jacksonville. Sir! The Cherokee crew are dangerous!... But we will cease firing immediately, sir.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Sir, what in the wide world of sports are those nuts talking about.  WE'RE Dangerous?  They tried to blast us?

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: Wilson:  Good man.  Let me speak to your Captain.

CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: Someone is obviously setting us up.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: As I said, you don't want to know.  If I'm guessing right, we've been framed.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Obviously this leads to my theory Mr. Hazzard. I see you still haven't ruled us out as the shooter?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
<Helmsman> ::Moves the Cherokee out of range.::  CO: Out of range, sir.

jEO_Wilson says:
@COM: Smith: Sir... Captain Adams is unconscious, sir.

OPS_Nash says:
::has a bad feeling about what happened during those alleged three hours that they were allegedly unconscious::

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: jEO:  Understood Ensign.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Shut everything down.

jEO_Wilson says:
@COM: Smith: The attack... left our ship like this... she's out cold. ::grunts::

Host eCO-Smith says:
@COM: Cherokee:  Captain, we need medical on the Jacksonville, can you send someone immediately?  The Captain needs attention.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO/XO: But that’s impossible ...we haven't fired a single.....:: checks his console and stares at it slack jawed. ::

CNS-T`Lin says:
CO: I will go, Captain.  Maybe I can talk to them, find out what has happened.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Esters: Affirmative, we'll have a team over momentarily.  Helm: Get us in Transporter range to beam Commander Worthington's team over.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: The Jacksonville still has their self-destruct set. Anything we do needs to be done quickly.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO/XO: Captain, Commander Worthington. Phaser logs show we fired several shots in two time intervals while we were incapacitated....but ..that wasn't THERE an hour ago!

jEO_Wilson says:
@::looks around the destroyed bridge:: Self: Oh... oh, God! ::rushes to the captain to see if he's alright...::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Get a team to the banks to manually check and see if they've been fired.  XO: Get your team over there.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Yes sir. CNS: Let's go. *CEO*: Meet me in Transporter Room 2. ::heads for the TL::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: nods in answer to the Captain's order. :: CO: Aye, sir.  Sending teams now.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Grabs a med kit, and follows the XO.::

CSO_Nash says:
CO: That is curious. The virus is now writing malicious code into the computers.

CEO_Pandora says:
*XO*: On my way... ::Turns to the console shortly:: Computer: Computer, continue scans currently running on station two delta pi, but lock it down, senior staff access only... ::Walks out after the console beeped and went black and entered the TL:: TL: Transporter room 2.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL and enters the TR, grabbing a phaser and setting it to stun::

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: Captain... captain, can you hear me? ::cradling the unconscious CO in his arms as pieces of the ceiling gets burned up, and ash flies about everywhere, the three ships in a stalemate of sorts..::

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Looks at the XO grabbing a phaser.::  XO: Do you think that's wise, Sir, to go with weapons?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: How many steps did they plan?  Can't say I'm surprised, though.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Any luck routing it out?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CNS: Just a precaution, Counselor. ::stepping onto the pad::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: disengages phasers and shields shaking his head in disbelief. :: CO: Captain..weapons and shields are now disengaged, can't say I like it too much though.

jEO_Wilson says:
@jCO: They're sending over Cherokee scum, sir... but don't worry. I'll protect you, sir...

CSO_Nash says:
CO: It is disappearing now. It seems that it found the vital areas it needed to change and began it's writing. Hence it's disappearance.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Steps onto the pad.::  XO: I am not so sure that is a good idea, but I am with you.

Host eCO-Smith says:
@COM: CO:  Thank you Captain.  We will protect you.  I will be beaming aboard shortly.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: It's not about what we like, or what should happen.  Whoever did this did it well.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Enters the TR, grabs an engineering kit from a nearby locker, then steps onto the pad with the others:: XO: You requested my service, sir?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Yes. TRChief: Energize.

Host jCO-Adams ACTION:  The Cherokee AT beams aboard the Jacksonville. 

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: while waiting for someone to explain to him what is going on..scans the debris of the other two ships. ::  CO: Sir...just so you know...I have identified the other ship....or what’s left of it...the USS Los Angeles...oh man.

Host jCO-Adams says:
@::moans, still unconscious::

jEO_Wilson says:
@::sees the familiar transporter beam appear, and quickly scrambles to grab a phaser:: jCO: Hush, captain, rest. Not to worry.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::materializes on the Jacksonville bridge:: ALL: Who is in command here?

CNS-T`Lin says:
@::Notices the Captain lying unconscious.:: jEO: I'm a doctor.  I'm unarmed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Understood.  Any signs of life pods?

jEO_Wilson says:
@::the team materializes:: XO: Who are you! You from the Cherokee?? Get the hell away from him! ::raises his phaser, as the two are slumped on the ground::

CEO_Pandora says:
@::Sees the room around him change to the battered bridge of the Jacksonville, looks around for the engineering console and gets to work right away::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Scans the Jacksonville. He sees the cascade effect on the warp core begin to escalate.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
@jEO: Hey, just hold on a second. We are here to help. Please, just let us help stabilize your ship.

jEO_Wilson says:
@CNS: Yeah, well I don't believe you! You scum, prove it. Now!

CNS-T`Lin says:
@jEO: Look.  I am unarmed.  I am not going to hurt you, him, or anyone else for that matter.  Please step aside, and let me treat him.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: sadly shakes his head. :: CO: Sir, its Mercy all over again.  I am detecting life pod debris a few km's out from the main wreckage site.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: So not only has the Virus done it's job, but now it's erasing the proof?

jEO_Wilson says:
@CEO: Get away, this instant! ::fires above the console that the CEO is working on::

CEO_Pandora says:
@::Ducks:: jEO: Stand down! I'm trying to save us!

CNS-T`Lin says:
@jEO: You can watch me as I am treating him.  I am pulling out a medical tricorder.  ::Shows him the medical tricorder.::  jEO: I give you my word, I will not hurt him.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@jEO: Look, we don't have a lot of time. I am ordering you to stand down.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye Captain. As soon as it finishes there will be no proof that it ever existed and nothing I can do will change it's progress.

jEO_Wilson says:
@::looks around, as he has gone BEYOND panic... and wonders what to do:: CNS: You. Treat him. Slowly!

Host jCO-Adams says:
@<Computer> ALL:  Auto-destruct in 15 minutes,  abandon ship.

CEO_Pandora says:
@::Sighs:: Self: Fifteen?? XO: Sir, suggest I go down to engineering to see what we can do from there...

jEO_Wilson says:
@XO: Yeah? I stand down, you take over the ship, and fulfill whatever TWISTED plan you and your traitorous crew devised!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CSO: Fine, then let's document it.  Copy what's left of it into an isolated file, and then set the computer to continue replicating it.  We need proof it was here, for all the good it will do them.  ::Bows head.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain....I am still reading the Jacksonville's warp core preparing for self destruct...estimate 15 minutes till she takes herself, us and the rest of the sector to a big fiery end.

CNS-T`Lin says:
@::Runs a medical tricorder over the Captain.::  jEO: He has a concussion.  Do I have your permission to give him a hypospray of Netinaline.  It's a stimulant to wake him.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@jEO: Are there any others? Look, we are not here to hurt you. There are several Starfleet ships out there. They wouldn't send us if we were here to hurt you. Please, just cooperate. I give you my word.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Then we'll just have to hope our teams can stop the flood before then.

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Aye sir. :: Begins the process of finding any threads of the virus to begin isolating and cloning.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
@CEO: Just wait a second.

CNS-T`Lin says:
@::Begins to pull out the hypospray, but awaits the response from the EO.::

jEO_Wilson says:
@XO: WHY DID YOU DO IT!

CNS-T`Lin says:
@jEO: Sir, your self-destruct is still ticking.  Time is of the essence.  Do I have your permission to treat him?

CSO_Nash says:
CO: Scans of the Jacksonville show that the destruct is about half way through it's time setting.

CEO_Pandora says:
@::Shakes head:: XO: Sir. we don't have time to wait! The destruct keeps running, and in the state this ships appears to be, I'm not sure what will destruct her first, the auto-destruct or other damages...

Host XO_Worthington says:
@jEO: I do not understand. We did not attack you. We were rendered unconscious several hours ago. When we awoke we received your distress call.

jEO_Wilson says:
@CEO: Try anything, and you will be dead, I promise you!

Host jCO-Adams says:
@::slips into a deep coma::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Esters: We are shut down, am I correct in assuming you will be sending teams over, both to the Jacksonville and to us?  ::Knows how this looks.::

CEO_Pandora says:
@::Ignores the jEO while he quietly moves over to another console, hoping the jEO doesn't see::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Comes up empty.:: CO: We are on our own as far as the virus. It dissipated to quickly. We have nothing. :: Looks at him with a Sorry sir expression.::

jEO_Wilson says:
@XO: How convenient. We're a damn hospital convoy - on a mission of peace. Do you deny then, that you attacked us? Do you suppose, then, that we all dreamed the brutal, dastardly attack?

CNS-T`Lin says:
@XO: The Captain has severe burns, 3 broken ribs and a concussion. He needs to be treated, but I need to get him back to our ship.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: I don't care how bad this looks.  I KNOW we didn't do anything wrong, that’s is my story and I am sticking to it.

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: CO:  I will be there shortly Captain, I have been receiving orders from SFC.  Please hold your position.  We are beaming the dead personnel aboard now.  Please have your team take the two that are alive.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@jEO: I do not know what happened. If the Cherokee attacked you it was not of my knowledge or command. Please believe me. I do not want to harm you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Looks at CSO and nods.::  CSO: Understood.  All we can hope is that it wasn't complete in it's wiping of evidence.  CTO: Relax, Lieutenant.  What about the teams checking the Phasers?

Host XO_Worthington says:
@CNS: Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Com: Smith: Understood, are we leaving what's left of the Jacksonville, then?

Host eCO-Smith says:
ACTION:  The Jacksonville Captain goes into a deep coma.

jEO_Wilson says:
@XO: We have proof! Our computers! And... ::feels the captain getting limper:: CO: Captain... CNS: I thought you were helping him!

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM:  CO:  Get your people back Captain.  Smith out.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@jEO: Look, I am out of time. ::fires his phaser on stun at the jEO::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Orders have changed, evacuate the survivors and return to the Cherokee.

CNS-T`Lin says:
@jEO: Sir, I need to get him back to our ship.  He has a concussion and has slipped into a coma.

jEO_Wilson says:
@::collapses, as he's hit by the phaser:: XO: The... self-destruct... ::falls unconscious::

Host XO_Worthington says:
@*CO*: Sir, we gotta shut down the auto destruct. CNS: Get those two back to the ship. CEO: Get to engineering. Let's see what we can do.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Teams are still checking the phaser coil emitters...:: a small beep registers on his console.::  CO: Phaser fire on the Jacksonville, Sir!!

Host eCO-Smith says:
@<Computer>: ALL  Auto destruct in 3 minutes, abandon ship, this is not a drill.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: No time for that, we're detecting Phaser fire, what's going on?

Host XO_Worthington says:
@*CO*: Had to speed things up. Everyone is ok. Please beam the CNS and the survivors directly to sick bay.

CNS-T`Lin says:
@COM: Cherokee, this is Ens. T'Lin, please lock onto my signature, the EO's and the CO's signature, and beam us directly to sickbay.  XO: Good luck, Sir.

Host eCO-Smith ACTION:  T'Lin, the ensign and CO of the Jacksonville are beamed directly to sickbay. (Transporter.wav)

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: We're beaming you all off, now.  Prepare for Transport, that's an order.  OPS: Beam them back, the injured to Sickbay directly.  *Sickbay*: Wounded coming in, prepare.

jEO_Wilson says:
::murmurs, as he drifts in and out of consciousness:: CNS: Where... where are you taking...

OPS_Nash says:
::beams them back to the Cherokee, in Sickbay::

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: It's okay, Sir.  I am truly here to help you.  I do not wish you any harm.  Please believe me.  I need to treat your Captain, and this is the only place I can do it.

Host eCO-Smith says:
ACTION:  The Jackson continues her countdown to auto destruct.

CEO_Pandora says:
@::Nods and gets to his feet:: XO: Sir, heading down using the Jeffries tubes would take longer than we have time... Recommend site to site transport using our own transporter system...

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Aye sir. CEO: Were out of here. *OPS*: Cherokee, two for transport.

Host eCO-Smith ACTION:  The XO and CEO are beamed directly to the bridge. (Transporter.wav)

CSO_Nash says:
CO: The Jacksonville is at 2 minutes and counting on self-destruct. Shall we back away to a proper distance?

OPS_Nash says:
*XO*:  Energizing now.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Helm: Back us away.  Bring us running parallel to the Ester.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CSO: Why do I get the feeling the Jacksonville won't be the only thing to blow up in our face today?

Host eCO-Smith says:
ACTION:  The Federation ships detect the Cherokee moving and arm weapons pointed directly at her.

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Sir...Ester and the other ships are locking phasers and torps on us.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::materializes back on the Cherokee and heads to the bridge::

CSO_Nash says:
CTO: It just goes with the territory. :: Gives him a knowing look.::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Arrives on the bridge, not exactly the scenery he had expected, walks to the TL, then turns around:: XO: Permission to go to engineering?

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: CO:  What are you doing Captain?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits on to the bridge:: CEO: Get down there. CO: What's going on, sir?

CNS-T`Lin says:
::Gives a hypospray of trianoline to the Captain to treat his concussion.  Uses a dermal regenerator to heal the wounds.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I expected that.  Com: Smith: The Jacksonville is about to self destruct.  We are moving to a safe distance, and I thought you would like us at an easy distance to come aboard.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Enters the TL and orders it to main engineering, a tone of irritation in his voice::

Host eCO-Smith says:
#COM: CO:  Prepare for my beam over Captain.  I am coming directly to your bridge.  Smith out.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: We're about to learn what a Court Martial feels like, I'm afraid.  If we're lucky.  Com: Smith: Understood, I'll be waiting.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Walks to Bridge Weapons locker, placing his Type II inside and closing it.::

Host eCO-Smith says:
ACTION:  Just as the Federation ships get out of range, the Jacksonville explodes like a roman candle on the 4th of July.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: I hope it doesn't come to that Captain. I had to expedite our rescue over there.

CNS-T`Lin says:
::uses the smelling salts to awaken the EO.::  jEO: Are you okay, Sir?  Can you hear me?  ::looks onward as the other Medical team works on the Captain.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Cringes at the explosion on screen.::  XO: I know, someone set it up real well.

jEO_Wilson says:
::opens his eyes, as he finds himself staring at the ceiling of a sickbay:: Anyone: What... what the hell am I doing here? ::clambers off his biobed and presses himself against the bulkhead::

Host eCO-Smith says:
ACTION:  Captain Smith and 3 armed security appear on the bridge.

OPS_Nash says:
::sits there quietly, rubbing her swollen abdomen::

CTO_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, I would surely like to get my hands on the guy who set this thing up...I am feeling a tad bit...irritated at him. :: The white knuckle grip he has on the tactical console indicates his anger. ::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Exits the TL into engineering and immediately heads over to the console he worked on earlier::

CSO_Nash says:
:: Sees the beam ins and prepares for the worst.::

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: looks alarmed at the ARMED security team on his bridge. :: eCO: What is the meaning of this?

Host eCO-Smith says:
CO:  Captain, please have your personnel remove their weapons and consider your entire crew under arrest.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: Look, I am not going to hurt you, nor is anyone on our ship.  We were rendered unconscious a couple hours.  Someone is setting us up.  I apologize for your losses, but I can assure you we did not fire on your ship.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: How are you feeling?

OPS_Nash says:
::is stunned at the words under arrest, she is glad that she isn't carrying a weapon::

Host XO_Worthington says:
eCO: On what grounds, may I ask, sir?

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: Our losses! What do you know of our losses! GET AWAY FROM ME!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Smith: I'd like to say welcome aboard, but we know this isn't the time for pleasantries.  ALL: Disarm yourselves, we are surrendering, if that is the right word.

CEO_Pandora says:
::Touches the  console and gets the tone he expected:: Computer: Lift lockdown of console, authorization Pandora three tango...

CSO_Nash says:
:: Unbelts his phaser keeping his hands in sight and places it on his console out of his reach.::

Host eCO-Smith says:
CO:  We have undeniable proof that you are the ones that have been raiding along the border.  We also have proof of the last two attacks.  Please have your crew disarm.  Don't make this any harder than it has to be.

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: What do you want me to do, Sir?  I am a doctor, but I am also a counselor.  I am under an oath to tell the truth and help you and your Captain.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Because they have the same guess we have, I hope, but that leaves them no choice but to place us under arrest until they can investigate.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: turns to the CO :: CO: You have to be kidding me, sir.  We haven't done anything wrong.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::removes his phaser:: ALL: Don't worry. We will be exonerated shortly. Please comply.

OPS_Nash says:
::she continues to rub her abdomen, her twins are moving, its almost as if they understand what is happening out in the "real world"::

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  I am unarmed.

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: My captain... :;scoffs, and looks over as he sees a medical team treating the jCO:: jCO: Captain... captain! ::runs around the biobed and over to the jCO, pushing aside some medics::

CNS-T`Lin says:
jEO: Sir, I don't think you want to ignore the fact that the Captain needs medical attention.  I think you should let our medics do their job.  Whatever it is you need me to do, I will do it, but the fact remains that your Captain needs medical attention.

CTO_Hazzard says:
:: turns to the eCO and gives him a look that can barely begin to describe how angry he is. handing him his side arm.:: eCO: You're gonna hate yourself when we prove our innocence...and you won't be the only one doin the hatin.

CSO_Nash says:
:: Looks to see OPS rubbing her abdomen.::

jEO_Wilson says:
CNS: But... but you... you are the enemy! The enemy who tried to destroy us and kill us all! ::passes out again, from his distress...::

CEO_Pandora says:
::Looks at the results, but sees it needs a bit of decrypting before he can read it, so he starts the decryption process::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Whether we did it or not, our duty is clear and undeniable.  We have surrendered to Captain Smith's custody.
