Host Adm-Alexander says:
USS Cherokee 10510.23 Interference Part 6

Host Adm-Alexander says:
The crew have decided to quit playing LoDuca's game.  Instead, they are going back to the wormhole, trying to induce him to follow.  The problem is, they have no way of knowing if he is following or not.  A probe has been sent through the wormhole hoping that a task force Admiral Alexander has requested will be waiting for them.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.::  *All*: We're heading back to the Bajoran system, please report status.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Admiral stands ready to assist in whatever capacity you will have me.

XO_Worthington says:
::exits on to the bridge and heads for his station::

CMO_Brabas says:
:: Has taken a dermal regenerator to help a crew member with a burn on his arm::

FCO_Yeager says:
CO: All Flight systems show green across the board. Course plotted to the Bajoran system.

OPS_Nash says:
::at her post on the Bridge::

CMO_Brabas says:
*CO*: Sick bay is prepared and expecting no casualties, :: he smiles slightly before closing link:: Brabas out.

CO_Ayidee says:
FCO/ *CMO*: Acknowledged.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  When are you going to implement the XO's idea?

CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: As soon as it's ready.
XO: Is your idea to locate LoDuca ready to be put into effect?

CMO_Brabas says:
::He continues to treat wound on crew member::

XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye sir. I have coordinated with the Science department. However it will be a massive power drain so we may be vulnerable for a time.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Meaning what Trent?

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Understood, but I think it's worth the risk.  Implement it and let's see if we've got one "following us home".

FCO_Yeager says:
::hears the power drain issue, hopes he can hold full impulse power::

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Meaning we will have very limited Phaser power. Not like we could take LoDuca's ship one on one anyways.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks over and quietly stands by OPS::  OPS:  Are you detecting any com traffic at all?

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Especially with an Akira for backup.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO/CO:  Will our shields be affected?

OPS_Nash says:
::looks up::  ADM:  Nothing, Admiral.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
OPS:  I have a gut feeling Kyleigh, try the lower bands and see if you hear anything.  Then again, I could just be paranoid.  ::grinning::

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: No, but we will have to divert power from other systems.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I am sure Kyleigh can accommodate you Trent.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: What if we delay implementing until close to the Wormhole, and then have it affect the shields?  Present a target he can't refuse to take a shot at?

OPS_Nash says:
ADM: Yes, Ma'am.

XO_Worthington says:
CO: Could be a tasty lure. We could divert power once through the wormhole.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
FCO:  I hope you are good at guarding our rear end! ::grinning at him::

FCO_Yeager says:
Adm: I hope so as well ma'am.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: At least we'll know he'll come through hot, hopefully into a nest of Starships waiting for him.

XO_Worthington says:
CO: I am not as worried about LoDuca because if he wants to destroy us he can. But I am worried about Smith and any other associates.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
FCO:  Maybe if you wiggle our rear end at him, he will show himself.  ::laughing at her own joke::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Do you think she is still around?

FCO_Yeager says:
::chuckles, shaking his head::

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Do you think Smith will continue the pursuit if LoDuca isn't in the picture any longer?  Call me overly confident, but isn't it likely many in his organization consider his interest in us wasteful?

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Perhaps LoDuca was covering for her exit but we have to assume she is nearby.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  From your mouth to God's ears Tio...

XO_Worthington says:
CO: I hope so Captain. But we must not forget that he is not alone.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'm not, but neither are we.  In fact I'd like to see all his friends join this hunt, let the fleet catch them all and end this for good.

CMO_Brabas says:
:: He finishes with patient and cleans his hands as he sees that no one else is still in Sick Bay he stretches and walks out of room:: MO: I will be on the bridge if someone needs me.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  As the Cherokee nears the wormhole, the Akira comes out of nowhere and fires on the Cherokee, then streaks for the wormhole and enters it.

CMO_Brabas says:
<MO T'Mol> : Understood doctor.

CO_Ayidee says:
All: Bait taken?  Let's go in.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grabs for the handles of OPS chair::  ALL:  Well I guess we have the answer to that question!

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Implement your plan.

XO_Worthington says:
::points to the Science officer:: CO: Here we go. 

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  A particle beam is shot from the Cherokee hoping to catch LoDuca with his pants down.

FCO_Yeager says:
::monitors their course::

XO_Worthington says:
::begins sifting through the telemetry data::

CMO_Brabas says:
:: As he walks toward doors he holds on to the wall:: Self: I better take this with me. ::He grabs a Med Kit and walks out::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walks up behind Trent to see what is happening::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Any luck?

XO_Worthington says:
Adm/CO: So far nothing.

CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Take us in the Wormhole.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: He didn't take the shot, maybe he sent Smith ahead to ambush us?  Wants us on the other side?

FCO_Yeager says:
CO: Aye sir. ::takes the ship into the wormhole::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The FCO takes them into the wormhole, as the Prophets watch them go through.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::suddenly she senses the Prophets, and not realizing it, she passes out on the bridge::

CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Medical Emergency on the Bridge!

CMO_Brabas says:
:: He enters TL::  Computer: Main bridge.

XO_Worthington says:
CO: He wasn't there, it looks like...::sees the Admiral passed out::

CMO_Brabas says:
*CO*: On my way.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::looks around and sees nothing but white... as if she is in a cloud::

OPS_Nash says:
::gasps as the Admiral passes out for unknown reasons::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He enters on bridge and sees Admiral::

CO_Ayidee says:
Tactical: Get Weapons ready when we exit, I'm hoping to join a fight part way through.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::She begins to wonder if she has died, but it doesn't feel as if she is dead::

CMO_Brabas says:
CO: What happened?:: He puts down an Med kit and pulls out Tricorder::

FCO_Yeager says:
::concentrates on flying the ship, knowing the situation around him::

CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: I don't know, she passed out just after we entered the Wormhole.

CMO_Brabas says:
:: Begins to scan Admirals head::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  As the Cherokee emerges from the wormhole, 3 Starfleet vessels have cornered the Akira and are firing on her.

FCO_Yeager says:
CO: We're through!

CMO_Brabas says:
CO: I will leave you with your job.

CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Excellent.
Tactical: Lock on that Akira's Weapons deck, let's see what we can do to her.

FCO_Yeager says:
::puts them into firing position::

CMO_Brabas says:
::He begins to check readings if there is any sings of concussions::

CMO_Brabas says:
Out loud: Interesting.

CO_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> ::Locks weapons on the Akira and fires a full spread at the Torpedo launchers and the secondary hull.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Akira is being rocked with fire from 4 directions... showing no indication of giving up.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He looks at scans from Tricorder and finds that frontal part of cortex is at high pressure as she is mentally connected to something::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Looks like it is isn't going down without a fight Tio.

FCO_Yeager says:
::out loud:: Self: Outnumbered four to one and still is defiant...

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grins at the FCO as the words are almost the same::

CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Welcome back to the land of the living, but that's not going to last long.

OPS_Nash says:
::is in constant monitoring of the comm channels, she hears something from Starfleet::  CO:  Captain, I just heard that 3 Starfleet ships are trying to get the Akira to stand down.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  What am I doing on the floor?  ::begins to blush::

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Are you all right?

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Understood, let's see if we can aid the argument.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I am fine, what happened?

CMO_Brabas says:
::Helps he get up:: Adm: I don't wont to say but you had a mental visit,  ::Smiles::

CO_Ayidee says:
Tactical: Bring down their shields, show them resistance isn't smart.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ALL:  If someone will help... mental visit Jovan?

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Looks like you fainted. The Akira is being fired upon by the task force.

CO_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> ::Continues firing, altering attack to spread over and bring down the shields.::

FCO_Yeager says:
::keeps them in firing position, ready to evade if the Akira gets too sporty::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Good, then our message did get through... let's hope they are smart enough to quit.

CMO_Brabas says:
:: Shows the scans:: Adm: Your frontal cortex was on high speed.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Any sign of LoDuca, or did the trap miss it's main prey?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The shields are down to 10% on the Akira, and the port nacelle is gone.

XO_Worthington says:
Co/Adm: We should warn the task force that the Akira will self destruct if cornered. They should keep their distance.

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Give me a channel to the Akira.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  That is odd Jovan... I remember that I seemed to be in a cloud, but that is all.  Unusual sensation.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Let them know, I'm going to try for convincing her to yield.  It has to be done, no matter who she is.

CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: I might even say that this had something with aliens from worm whole.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye.  ::opens a channel::  CO:  Channel open.

CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Akira: This is Captain Ayidee of the Cherokee to former Intelligence Officer Smith, you are highly advised to surrender and prepare to be boarded.

CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: Other that that you are healthy :: looks around as he stops for not finishing sentence with horse:: as an earth sun.

XO_Worthington says:
::sends message to the Task Force letting them know to keep their distance::

Host CODobbs says:
@COM: Cherokee:  This is Captain Dobbs.  There is no one aboard by that name.  We will not surrender nor allow you to board us... it is up to you how many we take with us.

CMO_Brabas says:
::As admiral stands up he gathers his things from Med kit and close the case and stands up::

Host CODobbs says:
ACTION:  As the statement is made, one of the Task Force ships is disabled.  Another moves to protect it.

CO_Ayidee says:
COM: Dobbs: Then so be it, die for another man's vengeance.

FCO_Yeager says:
::sighs::

XO_Worthington says:
Co/Adm: It's a Kamikaze attack. They sent a skeleton crew through to lure the Task Force in and self destruct.

CO_Ayidee says:
Tactical: Knock them out.  Treason is met with justice today.

Host CODobbs says:
@XO:  Turn and fire on the Cherokee... at least we might take her with us.

CMO_Brabas says:
:: Looks strangely at CO words:: Adm: They will not kill all those people there?

CO_Ayidee says:
<Tactical> ::Launches a full spread of torpedoes and Phasers.::

FCO_Yeager says:
CO: They are coming about.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: You may be right.
FCO: Keep a minimum distance of 80,000 Kilometers.

FCO_Yeager says:
::tries to keep their distance::

Host CODobbs says:
ACTION:  A full barrage is headed towards the Cherokee.  As she turns to fire, one of the Task Forces fires, hitting the Akira engineering section.  She goes up in flame.  One torpedo hits the Cherokee, with some damage to deck 14.  Several injuries are incurred.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He finds a place to hold on just in case::

FCO_Yeager says:
::feels the ship buffet from the hit::

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Get a damage control team down there.
CMO: And send medics as well.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::grabs the hand rail this time::  ALL:  Nothing like a roller coaster ride.

XO_Worthington says:
*ALL&: Damage teams to Deck 14.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  I think you are right... Diana wasn't on that ship.  I didn't sense another female aboard.

FCO_Yeager says:
CO: The Akira is destroyed.

CMO_Brabas says:
CO: I am on my way, ::He didn't wait for CO  words to begin to walk::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Jovan, can I help?

CO_Ayidee says:
XO/ Adm: How did they figure it out so soon?
FCO: Acknowledged.  At least that's one threat removed.

CMO_Brabas says:
*Medical team*: Send people to deck 14 I am on my way there.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::turning:: CO:  Figure out what?

CMO_Brabas says:
Adm: If you want to see casualties by all means,

CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: That we had a trap waiting.  Why send a 'Kamikaze' if you don't know there's a trap to spring?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  Be right with you Jovan.   ::waiting on Tio's reply::

XO_Worthington says:
CO/Adm: LoDuca wanted three things accomplished. He wanted the Task Force destroyed, us distracted and for us to think Smith is dead. He failed on two accounts. But what was he doing that he had to keep our attention away from?

CMO_Brabas says:
::Enters TL ::Computer: deck 14.... halt.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  They may not have known that Tio... I think they figured we would chase them through the wormhole. then they could turn and fire at us when we came through.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Good point, that is the important question indeed.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  And you may be right as well Trent... this man is puzzling...

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Contact station control, find out if the Wormhole opened unexplained since we first went through.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO/XO:  I will leave you to ponder the point, I am going to help Jovan with the injured.  With your permission of course Captain.

OPS_Nash says:
::nods as she does as asked::

CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Granted.  Let us know if you need anything.

XO_Worthington says:
Adm: Was there anything going on nearby? Was there a conference or a convoy passing nearby?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
XO:  Now that you mention it Trent, there was a large supply of medical supplies and equipment stopping at DS 9.  They were to arrive after we left.

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Also find out it's course, let's go see if they are safe.

CMO_Brabas says:
::Wait for admiral to come in:: Adm: I have to go down there.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  DS9OPS:  This is an inquiry to find out if the Wormhole unexplained since we left.    And also, if the Medical Convoy ever reached the station.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<DS9OPS> #COM: Cherokee:  Yes, about 5 hours after you left there was strange wormhole activity.  No the medical convoy never made it here.  We haven't heard from them.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CMO:  I understand Jovan, I will meet you down there.

XO_Worthington says:
CO: We must check with Starfleet Intelligence. I am betting that convoy was more than just medical supplies.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: That wouldn't be a surprise.  As soon as we have a course we'll investigate.

FCO_Yeager says:
::maintains station keeping::

CMO_Brabas says:
Adm; Aye ma'am 
Computer: Resume.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<DS9OPS> Cherokee:  The last known coordinates were 345.2 mark 8.  Let us know what you find.

CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Plot a course for those coordinates, maximum Warp.

FCO_Yeager says:
CO: Aye sir course plotted, warp drive standing by.

CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Any chance of getting a full inventory of what that convoy carried?
FCO: Engage.

FCO_Yeager says:
::engages at max warp::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Let me contact someone from my quarters.  I need full scramble and security on my console.

Host Adm-Alexander  (Warp.wav)

CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Of course.
OPS: Get the Admiral set up with anything she needs.

FCO_Yeager says:
CO: Time to destination 15 minutes present speed.

CMO_Brabas says:
::As TL stops he runs to the section of ship where is flicking electrical burnouts in corridor passing and lights are off. Some smell of burning plastic structure and isolation system of ships energy ducts he sees first not treated person and gets to business.::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::doesn't wait for his answer as she goes to the TL and directs it to deck 2::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye Captain.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::exiting the TL she goes to her quarters, placing her palm on the plate and waits as the door opens::

CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Excellent.  That hopefully will be enough time to have damage control get us back in full order.

FCO_Yeager says:
::nods::

CMO_Brabas says:
Med. member 1: Take this man to SB he has an multiple injuries.
:: He walks to the next victim::

CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Also, contact the task force and ask them to send two of their ships to back us up.  LoDuca's ship still outguns us by more than a bit.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking across the room, she sits at her desk and starts the computer, then taps her badge::  *OPS*;  I am ready for the secured channel.

XO_Worthington says:
*SEC*: I want a full sweep of the ship, let's make sure that nothing joined us after the explosion of Deck 14.

XO_Worthington says:
<SEC> *XO*: Aye sir.

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: I'll leave the Tactical side to your expertise.  I'm sure I don't have to stress who we're facing to you.

OPS_Nash says:
*ADM*:  Aye Admiral.  ::opens a secure channel for the Admiral::  ADM:  Secure Channel open.

CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO/ Damage Control*: What's the situation down their, how bad was the hit?

CMO_Brabas says:
<MM1> CMO: Yes sir,

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::talking to the computer she asks for SFI director on DS9, then waits::

FCO_Yeager says:
::checks the IDF around the area that was hit, making sure the generators are compensating::

CMO_Brabas says:
*CO*: Well we have for the first sight around 10 wounded with two for now with heavier wounds give me a moment and I will have full result in few minutes.

CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Anything we can do to help?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee arrives at the last coordinates... there is nothing but debris left.  Three freighters are totally destroyed.

CMO_Brabas says:
*CO*: If there is power for Transporters that will be nice.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::contacts the task force to ask for two of their ships as back up as LoDuca still outguns the Cherokee but a substantial margin.::

XO_Worthington says:
FCO: Be ready for anything. He could still be here.

CO_Ayidee says:
Science: Scan for survivors.

FCO_Yeager says:
XO: Aye sir, I'll be watching our six.

FCO_Yeager says:
::brings the ship to 1/2 impulse::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<SO> CO:  Scanning sir, but with this much debris. we would literally have to run up on someone.

FCO_Yeager says:
::looks at the carnage:: Not much honor in destroying freighters.

CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Understood.

CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Terrorists don't worry much about honor in their choice of targets.

XO_Worthington says:
::scans for any sign of LoDuca or any trail, picks up something:: CO: Look like I have found something. Could be a life signal.

CMO_Brabas says:
:: As he walks deeper in now a little less lighted places of corridor due to over burns of explosion he finds one person that is cowered with panel that exploded on her::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<So> XO:  Where Sir?

CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Give the helm the coordinates, let's see what it is.

CMO_Brabas says:
:: He checked her pulse and there was a bare one but she didn't breathing::

XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye, but it could be a trap. ::sends coordinates to the FCO and SO::

CMO_Brabas says:
Transporter room: Emergency transport two person directly to Sick bay

FCO_Yeager says:
::receives the coordinates, prepares to carefully takes them closer::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
<SO> CO:  Confirmed Sir, one life that looks to be in a pod.

CMO_Brabas says:
::He transports::
