Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 10609.17.  The Cherokee has arrived at the site of the escape pods from the USS Hopkins.  We are treating the zone as a combat zone, although we are unsure if LoDuca and his forces are still in the area.

Host SM-Trish says:

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.::  *All*: We'll be maintaining Yellow Alert, keep sharp and keep eyes open.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: moves quickly from one readout to the other at the Tactical board. :: *Shuttle Pilot*: Keep your eyes sharp during your beam ins, D'amato.  Stay within visual range of your escort. :: taps a few more controls to switch the current view at his station. ::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::on the bridge, looking over the sensor logs as the begin their rescue mission::

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

CNS_Wells says:
::In Sickbay preparing for casualties::
*ALL MEDICAL PERSONNEL*: Attention please, all medical personnel, we are at code orange. Please report to your work stations.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Aye sir.  Rescue teams and escort flights are ready to go when you need them.  Just wanted to give them a few bits of advice before go time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ OPS/ aFCO: You'll need to coordinate actions to bring the pods aboard.  Sectional shield drops where ever possible.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: How many pods have we located?

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::nods:: CO/XO: Aye. ::banks wide of the target area, picking up speed::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Captain.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: Ensign, we're throwing out the standard set of evasive maneuvers.  Go to saved set Delta Romeo Six at your station.  I've cooked up a few doozies.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Nothing wrong with last minute advice.  Also would help to use the Tractor beam to guide the pods to the shuttle bay.  Should speed things up some.

CNS_Wells says:
MO_E'Ben: I want you to take Beta team and set up a triage and post op center in Cargo Bay 2. Let me know what you need and check in with regular reports.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO:  Short range has....Holy Houston!  I've got 75 pods active Captain,  That’s 15 less than the Hopkins was equipped with.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_E'BEN>: CNS: Aye, Sir. ::Begins with his orders::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Already have a team standing by at Cargobays Two and Three.  Commandeered the Cargo Transporters as well.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Beam the survivors aboard as fast as your crews can.  Once aboard, get them funneled to Cargo Bay 2.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::nods:: CTO: Yes, Commander. ::brings up the ship's standard preprogrammed flight patterns and accesses DR6, enabling it and makes them ready while bringing Cherokee around toward the escape pods::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: We can't worry about how many are lost.  We can't alter the past, just try to move ahead as best we can.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::looks over at his counterpart:: OPS: Coming into transporter range sir!

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  My crews know the drill.  They are ready.

CNS_Wells says:
MO_Monroe: You'll be here with me. I want you to coordinate our people here. Assess by must in need and by best chance of survival. I will head the surgical teams.

Host SM-Trish says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee's screen switches over to a 4th Fleet Tactical Alert requesting they stand by for a message from Admiral Harlan.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
ALL: Oh great...I was just thinking we needed more bad news.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Any guess on why LoDuca hit...what's this?

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::was about to roll Cherokee over when his navigation display changes to the 4th Fleet emblem::

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: I don't think he did, sir. I don't know how or why...

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks to the screen to see what news the Admiral brings them. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Keep your eyes on the screen, but be ready to go the second it's over.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::waits for the message::

CNS_Wells says:
*MO_E'Ben*: Change of plan, use Holodeck 1 instead.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::takes his hands off the controls, command inputs lost::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
Officers and enlisted men and women of the Fourth Fleet, it has been many years since the Dominion War. Since then, we have known relative peace. But that peace is now shattered.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_E'Ben>: CNS: Understood, Doctor.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: swears softly in Andorian. ::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
::a touch of anger enters her voice:: “The USS Delphyne and her task group have been attacked by an element known as The Synod and are currently presumed destroyed.  That task group consisted of 900 men and women doing nothing more than a routine surveying assignment, mapping the space of the Federation’s newest inducted member: the Amenti.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
ALL: The whole task group?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Save the message, as soon as the recovery of the pods is over, we'll send it to the entire ship.

CNS_Wells says:
::Hears the name Delphyne in the distance on Sickbays view screen some of the Sickbay crew had been listening too. It a message from Adm. Harlan. It said the Delphyne was destroyed::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
This egregious action was quickly followed by no less than five other coordinated attacks on Federation installations on Sidonick and Aria’Arkun. Outposts 597 and 599 have sustained heavy damage and are even now requesting aid to evacuate the civilians living and working there before their stations lose life support.   Word from the region has dropped to a trickle after a similar attack on Relay Station 110.

OPS_Nash says:
::saves message for later::  CO:  Message saved.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::glances down at the useless screen in front of him, tempted to hit evasive and take Cherokee back to safe territory::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes in the message and looks thoughtful, seeing the actions as not just despicable acts but parts to a strategy. ::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
And if that was not enough, I have just been forced to list the USS Sharikahr as missing in action, that is nearly 200 crewmembers  along with our Federation Minister of Defense. A ship of peace transporting diplomats has simply disappeared.

CNS_Wells says:
::Even though he learns Zach is dead, he has to go on with his duties::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::enters the bridge and listens to her commanding officer::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks to each and everyone of his crewmates, superiors and otherwise.  His resolve now doubled in the face of this news. ::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
Even if the reasons for this attack were known, they did not deserve death, or the sorrow this brings to their friends and families… to us. ::coldly:: “The President has placed the Fourth Fleet on Condition Red with the Federation Council’s approval.  Not since the beginning of the Dominion War has this been necessary, but the threat of imminent and continuing attack demands it. The Synod represent a clear and present danger to the citizens of the Federation and the peace of our union.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::sighs as she knows this is just beginning::

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe>:: Sees the Counselor turn white as a sheet and nearly collapse:: CNS: Sir! Are you alright? ::Steadies him::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::hears the horrible news and knows that they have to concentrate on the task at hand and not be distracted::

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::mouth a little open, as he listens to the woman's shocking revelations::

OPS_Nash says:
::a tiny tear starts to well in her eye but she fights it from falling, she thinks why can we all just get along and live in peace and learn from our differences::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: continues to listen as his mind goes through the list of readiness drills and precautions that have now gone from unnecessary to vital. ::

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
These attacks, whatever their reason, were unprovoked. These deaths should never have occurred. These attacks were upon our friends and families and comrades in uniform and will not be tolerated or allowed to continue. We will respond and we will defend our own.

CNS_Wells says:
::Catches himself and regains balance:: SELF: My worse fear has come to be. 
MO_Monroe: Huh? Oh, ummm, yes, let's get on with our work shall we?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::walking up behind Tio she says::  CO:  It has begun.  Heaven help us.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Aye, but until the help arrives, we'll make the best of what we can.

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
After the most serious deliberation, it is clear that there is no other choice – we must respond and we must respond immediately. As of Stardate 10609.11, an Emergency Marshal Order is now in place.  All Fourth Fleet ships and bases are to prepare for war. You are to assemble at Arcadia Station which will serve as Fleet Command Headquarters. Once here you will receive further orders. ::steely blue eyes harden:: Do not mistake the seriousness of this situation or this Marshal Order.  
We will establish a Line of Control, starting first in the areas that were attacked and extending outward. We will seal the borders between Federation/Amenti Space and the Synod’s Sanctum to blockade that area and stem any further attacks. We will lock them away where they can cause no more harm to innocents.

CNS_Wells says:
::Goes through the motions of his double duty tasks and heads to the surgical suites to check on his teams::

OPS_Nash says:
::only time will tell if she will be able to handle yet another war::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Looks like we know what our job will be.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: crosses his arms over his chest and takes a serious if not angered look to his chiseled features. :: CO: Tactical's ready at your word, sir.  You point us to 'em, we'll make 'em pay.

Host Admiral_Harlan says:
I expect us to quickly reestablish peace in the region, honorably and successfully. But I also expect the Fourth Fleet to do what is needed to protect our homes and the lives of our citizens. Success and Peace.  Harlan out.

CNS_Wells says:
::Doesn't bother to listen to the rest of the Admiral's report, he's heard enough::

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::swallows, not able to make sense of it all::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm/ CTO: Our duty hasn't changed.  We will continue to defend the Federation, it's people, and it's laws.  It's who we are and what we do.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The screen goes blank as everyone stares at it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Open a ship wide channel please.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Captain. ::activates ship wide channel::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All Hands*: This is the Captain.  As you have just heard, the Federation is now entering a new war.  We will make for Arcadia station as soon as we finish here to rendezvous with Fleet Command.  Until then, we have a job before us.  Let's get it done.

CNS_Wells says:
::Barley hears the Captain's words.  Checks the diagnostic computers for the surgical beds::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods and walks over to the aFCO, placing a hand on his shoulder. :: AFCO: Hey, kid.  Don't worry.  Your on board with the best.  Just stick to what you know...and when you have a question, ask.  We're here to help you out.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Those people are waiting, let's get them aboard.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::looks up, blinking, still looking confused and fearful:: CTO: Y-yes Commander. ::swallows a tight knot that moves from his throat to his stomach and places his trembling hands back on the flight controls, realizing the computer had stopped the ship dead in its tracks:: CO: Returning to one-half impulse, Captain.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Do we have space for the survivors or do we need to use one of the cargo bays?

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe>: Sir, we are ready. Doctor E'Ben has also reported in as ready and standing by. 

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Take us in hot and quick.  Give us the best chance to pull them aboard.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods and decides to tell the CNS about the new Ensign, maybe try to help him out some.  Walking back to the Tactical Station and getting his teams ready reports as he preps the ship's weapons in case they are not alone out there. ::

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::lines Cherokee back up, trying to wring as much speed as possible out of the old girl's big engines, slowly increasing them to 100% power:: CO: Aye sir. Intercept point in thirty seconds.

CNS_Wells says:
MO_Monroe: Fine, have the attendants and mobile Medics go to the Cargo Bays to assist in transporting the incoming wounded.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Start broadcasting on Starfleet Emergency Channels, let them know help has arrived.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::is unconscious after hitting his head on the panel in the mad rush to leave the ship::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, maybe we should utilize the ship's Holodecks as emergency triage and patient quarters till we can get them to Arcadia.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::slowly coming around and hits the beacon once again::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Captain.  ::begins broadcasting on Starfleet Emergency Channels that help has arrived::

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::taps his com badge in hopes someone will hear him::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: If needed, do it.  We should have the space, but if not we'll make do.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Tractor bay teams standing by and I have Shuttlecraft D'amato and Geronimo standing by to conduct flyby rescue sorties.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
CO/CTO/OPS: Rolling to Starboard to expose the ventral emitters, sirs. At this speed we should have a window of about 10 seconds. ::begins the roll, adjusting the inertial dampeners to account for the change in G-force::

OPS_Nash says:
XO:   Sorry took so long to respond, I think it be best that we do use the cargo bays for housing them, and maybe use the Holodecks to sort out any triage needed.

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Sounds good. 
CTO: Did you hear that?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
AFCO: Roger that, Ensign.  Keep the lateral thrust to a minimum if you can.  Gives me a stable arc to fire through if I need it.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
@COM: Anyone:  Can anyone hear me?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Acknowledged sir.  I'll designate a few men to help out with the wounded.

OPS_Nash says:
CO/XO:  Shall I notify Sickbay of the Holodeck use?

Host XO_Worthington says:
COM: XO: This is Commander Worthington from the U.S.S. Cherokee, we will have you on board soon, just remain calm.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
@COM: XO:  Thank god!  I need to report as soon as I am aboard.  Did Captain Reed make it?

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::fighting with the thrusters to keep the ship stable as it maneuvers into an outside loop:: CTO: Yes, Commander. Trying to hold her steady for you... ::can physically feel the strain of the engines through his feet::

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: Can you lock on to that signal and pinpoint location?

OPS_Nash says:
::she contacts her crew and informs them of the plan.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Sickbay has priority right now, let them know whatever they need short of risking the ship.

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  I'll do what I can.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: Commander Wells, stand by for incoming survivors...we're gonna be coming in hot and fast.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Understood.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Science: Full sensor sweeps around the area, just in case the aggressor is still here.

OPS_Nash says:
*Sickbay*:  Feel free to use all Holodecks for triage use.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Sir, I have set up a non- emergency shelter in Cargo Bay 2 and triage in the Holodeck to care for sickbays overflow, Treatment and surgery is in Sickbay. I hope that is okay.

CNS_Wells says:
*CTO*: Understood Commander, we are ready.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
ACTION:  OPS locks onto the XO's escape pod signal.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CNS*: That is fine, Medical has priority over anything else outside of getting them aboard.  Anything you need outside of risking the ship.

CNS_Wells says:
*OPS*: Thank You, Mrs. Nash.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: raises his eyebrows and grins. :: CO: I swear he has us bugged.  Either that or the CNS is a mind reader.

CNS_Wells says:
*CO*: Thank you, Sir. Wells out.

OPS_Nash says:
::pinpoints the COM and locks on to the signal::  CO/XO:  I got a lock on the signal.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Have the Transporters get that pod first.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: stands at the ready for the shield drop, keeping his Phaser sights roaming so that anything that pops up gets a VERY warm welcome. ::

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::sees the ship drifting out of optimal transporter range and tries to wrestle it back into the proper arc::

CNS_Wells says:
ALL: Look alive people, it's about to begin.

OPS_Nash says:
::beams the pod to Cargo Bay 1::

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
ACTION:  Escape pod occupants are being beamed to the cargo bays while whole pods are being pulled into the shuttle bays.  Where possible, people are beamed out of the pods and to the cargo bay for assessment, then to the Holodeck if necessary.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::feels the familiar tingle of the transporter beam::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Tractor beam teams ready to start recovery protocols.  I've got a team at each station to assist with wounded..  Shuttle Teams are a go for launch at your word sir.

CNS_Wells says:
*CTO*: Mr. Hazzard? I'd like to ask. Could you spare any of your people to help with transport and miscellaneous duties?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: Anything suspicious on sensors?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Once the pods are emptied, can you set up a routine to have the empty pods link together to make later salvage easier?

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I'll have my best crew on that.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*CNS*: I've got a team of men on route to your location for just that reason Doc.  Stand by.

CNS_Wells says:
*CTO*: Thanks, have them report to wherever it is our patients will be arriving to. I hope they aren't beaming them all to sickbay.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Nothing on screens so far, but I won't breathe easy just yet.  I am NOT going to let someone get the drop on us just yet.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::looks around as he finds himself in the cargo bay::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<TO_Miller> :: approaches XO Plunk and smiles. :: XO-Plunk: Welcome aboard the Cherokee, sir.  I'm Lt. Miller, would you care to follow me to see the Captain, or do you need Medical attention first?
Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
TO:  I am fine, I need to speak to either your CO or XO.  I am just banged up a little.  Hit my head on the console.  Has anyone found the Captain yet?

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
OPS: Transport procedure complete? ::fingers resting on controls::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<Lt. Miller> XO_Plunk: Sorry sir.  No word yet, but we've just started recovery missions.  I wouldn’t count your Captain out yet.  Till then, could you follow me to the bridge?

OPS_Nash says:
aFCO:  Stand by.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO/ aFCO: Once all the pods crews are aboard, can we fit the empty pods inside our Warp bubble without slowing us much?

Host XO_Worthington says:
OPS: How many pods still unaccounted for?

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
TO:  After you Lieutenant.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: Ensign, you familiar with the Eisenhart Bubble Theorem?  Applying it to a Warp Field in Transit?

OPS_Nash says:
XO:  At last count, 15.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::does some quick calculations:: CO: Possibly, sir. To keep a safe margin between us and them we'll need to extend our bubble quite a ways. That will slow us down a little.

CNS_Wells says:
<Nurse_Amarie>:: Greeting survivors as they arrive and Assesses each on a case by case basis. Delegating who goes where. Watches as crew escort and transport patients accordingly:: ALL: Non injured are to be taken to Cargo Bay 2.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: Stand by to stand that theorem on end.  I'll allocate a few of my Shield Emitters to boost your warp field energy.  Now apply the cosine and...there.  Can you see it now?  Should get you Warp 7 at best.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: realizes what he just said and grimaces. :: Self: I've been hanging around Scotty way to long.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO/ CTO: Make the preparations so Starfleet won't have to send another ship out.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
CO/CTO: Aye sir. ::turns back to the console and inputs the commands Commander Hazzard ordered::

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::enters the bridge behind the TO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: starts making the proper allocations to power to help out the aFCO as he notices the TO and the XO of the Plunk enter. :: CO: Captain.  You have a visitor I think.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
CO:  Captain, XO Plunk of the Hopkins.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
medXO: Commander, welcome to the Cherokee.  Wish it were under better circumstances.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CNS*: I know that you are busy down there but how are things progressing? Do you require anything?

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
CO/XO:  You are never going to believe what I have to tell you.  We were "hit" out of nowhere. No warning, nothing.  ::sighs in exasperation::

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::gently adjusts the nacelle coil alignments to extend the field and sees efficiency and speed drop, disappointed in that but suddenly seeing the wisdom in bringing escape pods along into a war zone::

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
CO/XO:  If that wasn't enough, then we were boarded and all our supplies taken.  I just can't believe it happened to us.  We were carrying nothing special.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: Alright, I'm ready to supply the zip if your ready to provide the bang.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_E'Ben>:: Receives incoming wounded for stabilization and emergency treatment. The Med teams are in full "go" mode:: MEDIC: This guy needs surgery transport to Sickbay. Next!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
medXO: Did you see what type of ship hit you?  And what kind of material were you carrying?

Host XO_Worthington says:
medXO: Who boarded you? What did they look like?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: security teams help move patients to suitable transport zones as they are recruited by the medical teams for intern duty. ::

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
CO/XO:  They were just normal looking men, except for this one woman.  She said her name was Diana and to tell Trent hello, whoever he is.  Sirs, I don't know why they hit us.  We are just a normal medical ship.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe>::Assist in bringing a patient into Sickbay:: NURSE: Put her on bio bed 3, I'll be right there. ::Helps bring just arriving patient into the O.R.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
Self: They always have to say hi.  Why do we get the sociable bad guys?

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
CO/XO:  All we do is respond to medical planetary emergencies.

Host XO_Worthington says:
medXO: So they were all humans?

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::inputs the final command and secretly prays:: CTO: Ready when you are, sir.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
XO:  Yes Sir.  The ones I saw were.  Has anyone heard from my Captain?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, I've got a feeling their sensor logs might be able to tell us more about our bad guy.  Shall I use the sensors to see if I can locate it?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
medXO: What emergency were you headed to, and what were you carrying?
CTO: Do it, and good thinking.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::shakes his head::  CO:  That is just it, we were going back to our base.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::grabs for a PADD with a picture of Smith and hands it to the medXO:: medXO: This is who you saw?

CNS_Wells says:
::Begins a diagnostic on a surgical candidate:: NURSE: Okay prep the area. ::Positions the surgical console unit over patient::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods and gets another idea. :: *CNS*: Hey Doc, can you send us a list of the survivor's names that you've recovered?  When you get the chance that is.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::his face goes pale::  XO:  That's her!  Forgive my language, but that was one mean b*tch.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: See if we have the Captain aboard.
medXO: What was your Captain's name?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
XO_Plunk:  You haven't met our Admiral yet, have you?

CNS_Wells says:
*CTO*: I'll get someone on that.

OPS_Nash says:
::hears the name Diana and shudders::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, the Counselor is gathering a list of the survivor's we've recovered.  He'll send it up as soon as we get a head count on recovery.

CNS_Wells says:
*MO_Monroe*: Get one of your clerical people on taking a census of all survivor's brought on board, in all medical areas, including the non-wounded.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: We're almost ready.  Make sure you got the variable thrust locked down, it'll make it that much easier to stretch the field if we don't have to worry about that.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe>: *CNS*: Yes, Doctor, right away.

AFCO_Ens_Duke says:
::trying to keep up with mental notes:: CTO: Yes sir. ::brings the ship around to the course to Arcadia:: CO: Arcadia course laid in and awaiting your order, Captain.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
CO:  Captain Reed Sir, he made me leave.  I just hope he got out alive.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
XO:  How do you happen to have a picture of this woman?

Host XO_Worthington says:
medXO: I would be the Trent that she said hi to.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Captain Reed, see if you can locate the Captain.  Starfleet should have the correct transponder ID from the Comm badge.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_Monroe> *NURSE_Amarie*: Counselor Wells wants a census, you are in the best position to coordinate that. When its complete send it to Commander Hazzard on the bridge and a copy to me.

OPS_Nash says:
::thinks that this situation just gets better and better as each moment passes::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Once the pods are set to tow, get us to Arcadia, best possible speed.

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
::makes a sudden move toward the XO and has him by his shirt front before Trent can stop him::  XO:  So you are abetting this woman?  ::he screams at Trent::

CNS_Wells says:
<NURSE_Amarie>: *MO_Monroe*: Yes, Ma'am.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: in a second his Phaser is drawn and pointing at the XO:: XO_Plunk: RELEASE MY XO SIR. NOW!

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
ACTION:  LoDuca's ship uncloaks and fires on the Cherokee then recloaks.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I'll make the necessary inquiries and get back to you in a few moments::

CNS_Wells says:
::Continues to work in silence trying to keep the tears out of his view of his patient::

Host XO_Worthington says:
medXO: Calm yourself sir. I am the one trying to stop her. You might want to let go before I send you back to sick bay.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
medXO: Being a long time target doesn't mean he's...
CTO: Blanket that area with Phaser fire, and follow it with a full photon spread!

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
ACTION:  One last taunting remark from LoDuca.  "Are you getting slow in your old age Trent?"

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: growls and drops his aim to return fire in the suspected path of LoDuca's ship, nodding to two of his security guards to handle the med ship XO. :: CO: Firing!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::shoves the medXO to the ground and hits his comm badge:: COM: LoDuca: Why don't you fight fair you coward!

Host MedShip-XO-Plunk says:
ACTION:  Unknown to the Cherokee, LoDuca's ship is hit, causing damage, but not enough to cause the cloak to fail.
