Host CO_Ayidee says:
Captain's Log, Stardate 10610.22, Captain Ayidee recording.  Our Away Team is currently securing control of the freighter Luna, which attempted to run our blockade.  They are currently attempting to gain control to a sealed cargo hold in the Freighter, which appears to have been trapped.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Another ship is picked up on sensors by the SO.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, reviewing Away Team's Progress.::  OPS: Contact Starfleet, let them know we have a ship ready to be returned to Starbase.  Give them our coordinates, full encryption.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::on the freighter, preparing to return to the Cherokee:: *CTO*: I am turning command over to you. I will be returning to the ship to speak with Mr. Skippy.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::looks at one of the supplementary displays as the console beeps at him:: CO: Uh... sir? We have another ship on sensors. The computer hasn't identified it yet.

CNS_Wells says:
@XO: Sir, will we be taking possession of the medical supplies on board?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::taps her console and registers the sensor blip::  CO:  Confirmed Captain, another ship is just inside our range.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: continues to scan the hatch door with a few other security team members, :: *XO*: Affirmative sir,  We're still trying to figure out just how Skippy rigged this door.  Perhaps you might be able to convince him to give us a hint while your talkin’ with him?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Does it appear to be trying to avoid us, or approach us?

Host XO_Worthington says:
@CNS: Have them secure before transport, then stored in the supply bay until they can be fully verified.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ :: takes a closer look at the scan read outs and begins to chuckle. :: Self: Oh...you have to be kidding me.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@*CTO*: Affirmative, I will see what I can find out.

CNS_Wells says:
@XO: Aye, Sir. I'll have them completely checked.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, sir.  ::she contacts Starfleet to let them know about the ship to be returned to Starbase and the location, she encrypts the message to ensure secrecy::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::watches the plotting path the computer is generating, trying to predict the ship's movement:: CO: Unknown, sir. It might not be able to see us with our proximity to Setha. It seems to be maintaining course for now.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@*CO*: Sir, I am turning command over to the CTO and standing by for transport.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Goes off to carry out the task::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO*: Never mind sir, I think we have it figured out.  Its a voice operated lock with a detonation sequence.  They used some really cheap parts to construct it so it can't differentiate between voices.  Basically its a password operated lock.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Understood, keep a close eye on it and tag it for our next investigation.  We'll make for it once the Luna is secure and the Away Team is back.

Kandi_Chase says:
::On the bridge in the back wondering what will happen with this mysterious second ship::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Understood, any estimate on how long it will take to have the ship secure for the "repot ship"?

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::nods:: CO: Aye sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ Miller: Check the security log on the bridge and see if we can get a playback on any opening of the hatch door before our arrival.  We should be able to get the password from that.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<USS Dorado> #COM: Cherokee:  This is the USS Dorado.  Will be in your location in 10 minutes.  We will take the freighter and crew off your hands.  Dorado out.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@*CO*: Very shortly, sir. Once we have the med supplies and get in to the cargo bay.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ <Lt. Miller> CTO: Aye, sir.  I'll get right on it.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Dorado:  Understood.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Finds medical cargo and secures it. Makes sure no hidden surprises are contained within then arranges to send them to the Cherokees supply bay, by transporter::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  The USS Dorado's ID signal is picked up by the SO.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Captain, the USS Dorado just confirmed that they will be in range in 10 minutes to take the freighter and crew.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Good work, we may have our next hare on sensors.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: Lt. Miller shortly returns from the bridge with a grin on his face as he whispers the password to Hazzard. ::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::chimes in after Nash:: CO: And their ID tag checks out, sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ Lt. Miller: Are you kidding me.  Seriously?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Confirm we received the message, and download them what we learned from them already.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ <Lt. Miller> CTO: I couldn’t make this up if I tried.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: sighs and shakes his head as he approaches the door, hitting the lock access button and saying loudly. :: Lock: Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

CNS_Wells says:
@*XO*: Sir, the medical supplies have been transported safely. Permission to return to the ship?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Any estimates on how long we'll be able to track that second ship in these conditions?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Sir ::grins:: it appears that the Dorado is an Ambassador Class.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Dorado:  We acknowledge your message, all information about the freighter and its crew have been transferred to your console.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: We have confirmation, the USS Dorado is on it's way in to take possession of the package.  ETA is under 10 minutes.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
<USS Dorado> #COM: OPS:  That information has arrived.  Looks like you had good hunting today.  See you in a few minutes.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@*OPS*: Two standing by for transport.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ :: waits for the door mechanism to unlock and sighs. :: Lt. Miller: You know, I'm losing all respect for smuggler creativity with passwords like that.

Kandi_Chase says:
::Makes a note about the USS Dorado taking the Luna into custody::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
CO: Uh... just a moment, sir. ::moves the course processing data over to a separate package bringing in data from the sensors:: Maybe fifteen minutes, sir. After that their course will lead out of our range. We'll need to move out of the sphere of influence of this nebula to track them beyond that. But once outside, they might see us too.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Dorado:  Understood. And we were just lucky.

Host aFCO-Candoit ACTION:  The XO amd the CNS are transported to the Cherokee. (Transporter.wav)

OPS_Nash says:
*XO*:  Aye.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: I'm not worried about being seen yet.  I just don't want to let one slip by.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::materializes back on the Cherokee:: CNS: I am headed to the Brig, report to the bridge and keep up on the medical supplies.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Commander, as soon as the USS Dorado arrives, we'll be beaming you back over and beginning pursuit of the next target.  Wrap things up and make it neat over there.

CNS_Wells says:
::Appears in Transporter:: XO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*CO*: Got it sir...just opened up the cargo hold and you're not gonna BELIEVE what I see here.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TR and head to the Brig::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: walks inside and inspects the contents of the hidden cargo hold. ::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sir. Will advise when they're moving out of tracking range.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
@*CTO*: Then surprise me.  What was he carrying?

CNS_Wells says:
::Heads back to the bridge::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*CO*: Sir, Inform Starfleet Command that if they're missing any Quantum Torpedo Warheads....we've just found one.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
SO:  I have the coordinates of the second ship.  
CO:  Ready to pursue on your order Captain.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*CO*: I seriously want a piece of this smuggler now.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::takes a deep breath hearing what the CTO just told the Captain::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Did you say Quantum Torpedo warheads?  Where in the mines of Tellar did they come up with something like that?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ Sec Team: Alright folks, wrap it up and prep this ship for turning over to the Dorito.

CNS_Wells says:
::Returns to the bridge and takes his place::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::overhears the report and is shocked::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ *CO*: I say again, One Quantum Torpedo Warhead was inside the cargo hold.  Serial Number Echo Echo Five Niner X-ray November.

Kandi_Chase says:
::Sees the Counselor has returned::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::enters the brig:: SEC: I am here to see Mr. Skippy from the freighter.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: That's disturbing, and makes me eager to get underway on that other ship.  Are you ready for beam over?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*CO* We're ready to go when you are.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<SEC> XO: Yes sir. ::points to his cell::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  The USS Dorado is slowing to a dead stop.  Calling the Cherokee to let them know they are ready to transport personnel to the freighter and take the prisoners.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO*: Commander, you might want to ask our guest what he was doing with a quantum torpedo warhead in his cargo hold, that’s what he was hiding.  Just thought you would like to know, sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CTO*: Good, then we'll beam you back.
OPS: Transport the Security over.
aFCO: Once they're aboard, lay in pursuit course and engage, best possible speed.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::surprised by this revelation:: *CTO*: Understood. Looks like we have a lot to talk about.

CNS_Wells says:
*MO*: Janet, there's a new batch of supplies in the supply bay.  Have Nurse Amarie do an inventory and get me the list. I'll be on the bridge.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Aye Sir!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*XO* : let me know if you want me to take over the conversation.  I can be quite the talker.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  Also the Dorado is ready to the transfer of the freighter and the crew.

CNS_Wells says:
<MO_MONROE>: *CNS*: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Nash says:
::transports the Security::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::taps her keyboard and prepares to leave this area of space::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: You don't say? Don't worry, I will do you proud.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Crew from the Dorado beam aboard the Luna.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: shivers as he is rematerialized on board the Cherokee. :: Sec Team: Alright, back to your posts.  Good job men.  Anyone needs me...I'll be on the bridge trying not to think of all the ways I want to murder that smuggler. :: grumbles as he makes his way to the bridge, still in his boarding action armor. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Give them our thanks, and wish them good luck.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Get us underway.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Sir, the crew of the Luna, are they still in our brig?

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::moves the tracking data from the ship to a side window and rigs it for notification and focuses again on the main sensor focus::

OPS_Nash says:
::nods::  COM: Dorado: Thank you and good luck, you will need it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
Skippy: Mr. Skippy, a pleasure to see you again. Mind if I have a word with you?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: exits the TL onto the bridge and relieves the officer on duty. :: CO: Captain, I'm sending a copy of the data we raided from the freighter's computer to the Doorhandle.  They should be able to figure out where they got that cargo from.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: We'll be holding the Captain, but we'll transport the rest over, correct.
OPS: Transport the rest of the crew over.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  Aye Sir, moving out of the nebula now :;taps her console::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.   ::she transports the rest of the crew::

Host LCO-Skippy says:
XO:  Sure, what can I do for you?  ::grins::

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: I should have an inventory of the med supplies taken, for you soon, Commander.

Host XO_Worthington says:
LCO-Skippy: Looks like we have more questions the answers, anyways, who were these weapons destined for?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: Sounds good to me, Gary.  Its nice to know that stuff will be used for good reasons now.  Nice thinking, buddy!

Host LCO-Skippy says:
::shrugs his shoulders::  XO:  Honestly?  I was to meet at these coordinates and another ship would take the supplies.

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: No use letting it go to waste.

Host XO_Worthington says:
LCO-Skippy: Who was your contact? You knew what you were doing was illegal so don't play coy.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins and begins to transfer the information to the Dorado's computer. After the transfer is complete, he begins to get busy trying to reconstruct the information gleaned about the second ship using the sensor logs. ::

Host LCO-Skippy says:
XO:  This contract was made over a month ago.  There was nothing illegal about it at the time.  I had to get my money back, you surely understand that!

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::looks up at a beep and glances at the tracking display before turning his chair around:: CO: Sir, the unidentified contact is moving out of our sensor range.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Commander, do you have any communication transcripts between the freighter and the second contact we picked up before the Luna decided to haul it out of there?

Host XO_Worthington says:
LCO-Skippy: So I am to believe that you are so naive that you think there is nothing wrong with weapon smuggling?

Kandi_Chase says:
::Moves around the bridge watching the crew at work. Kyle, the camera guy, is not on the bridge in hopes it will put the crew more at ease::

Host LCO-Skippy says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee is struck by the other's ships sensors.  It then makes a run for it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks over to the SO quickly and begins to bring his own sensors to bear on the contact. :: CO: Captain, permission to pursue!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Understood.
aFCO: Are we in full pursuit yet?  Get us to full possible speed.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  I already forwarded that information.  ::smirks as she gets a picture in her mind::

Host LCO-Skippy says:
<aFCO> CO:  Aye Sir! Going to warp now.

Host LCO-Skippy says:
XO:  What weapons?  I didn't have any weapons!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: brings Tactical sensors to bear on the secondary contact and begins to run targeting programs on it. :: CO: Working on a profile on Contact Tango Two now, sir.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::frowns:: CO/CTO: I'm reading more than one energy signature emitting from their drive system. It could be another modified smuggler ship with different add-ons.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
SO: Sounds like an escort.
CO: Captain, recommend Red Alert and weapons ready.

Host XO_Worthington says:
LCO-Skippy: You had  a ship full of weapons. Don't play dumb.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
CTO: Could be, yes sir. ::tries to divine the truth from the streams of data coming in on the sensors::

Host LCO-Skippy says:
XO:  I did not!  I had medical supplies and that is all!  ::begins to turn red in anger::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Do it.
SO: Keep a close eye on it, don't want to find out it's some kind of weapon.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*Ship wide*: All Hands, Red Alert.  This is not a drill.  Red Alert.  All hands man your battle stations.

Host LCO-Skippy says:
::then begins to wonder about the new crewman that came on at the last stop::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard  (Red Alert.wav)

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::glances up:: CO: Yes Captain. ::transfers the incoming signature data to the LCARS database and has the computer start cross-referencing keys in the signature for possible exemplars::

Host XO_Worthington says:
LCO-Skippy: Oh, I see. You were just in the middle of a war zone transporting medical supplies for the highest bidder and someone framed you by placing weapons on your ship. That sounds very likely.

Kandi_Chase says:
::Hears CTO announce Red Alert and obediently goes to her neutral corner::

Host LCO-Skippy says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee goes to Red Alert.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: brings up the torpedo targeting programs and begins to put together a targeting solution on the fleeing ship. :: CO: Why do they always have to run?  Just means it takes longer to put a boot in their backside.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: They think they can get away.  Lets show them how wrong that is.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::hears the klaxons:: LCO-Skippy: We are not done here! ::heads for the bridge as fast as he can::

Host LCO-Skippy says:
XO:  I swear, I did not have any weapons.  I did, however, take on a new crewman right before this run.  Hook me up to the computer, it will tell you I am NOT lying!

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO:  We are almost on them sir, orders?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
SO: Keep an eye out for any energy spikes in the higher range of the spectrum, usually it means they are arming weapons or getting ready to fire.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Bring us along side so we can stop them.
CTO: Lock on a Tractor beam, let them know they aren't getting away.
OPS: Hail them, let them know they either stop or we stop them.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::nods to the Captain and obeys his orders instantly::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::reads the list as the computer spits out the exemplars:: CO/CTO: Sirs... the computer thinks the core drive system is Orion, but the field control isn't. I'm reading several other energy signatures I can't identify. It could be weapons emplacements or something they're carrying.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: fingers tap over his console as he brings the tractor beam controls up.  Setting them to engage the minute they are in range he smiles. :: CO: One "Snatch and Grab" coming up.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: listens to the SO's report and nods. :: CO: Definitely sounds like an Orion Blockade Runner.  They enjoy mix and matching on their ships.  Whatever tech they can slap onto their ship they will.

OPS_Nash says:
::hails the other ship::   COM:  Vessel:  Please stop or we will stop you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
SO: Give the locations to Tactical for targeting.
CTO: Target the unidentified sections, just in case.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL on the bridge:: CO: What is going on, sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
::nods and sets the target queue for the torpedoes to the unidentified portions of the ship's hull.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: We've got the next blockade runner.  We're convincing them to stop now.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Weapons are brought online by the Orion ship.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, they've gone weapons hot.  Permission to fire!

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::nods to the captain and brings up the LCARS intranet to transfer the data:: CTO: Sending you the hot spots, sir. Several of them have definitely spiked in energy level.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Before the Captain can answer, the Orion ship fires off torpedoes.  The Cherokee is rocked, but unharmed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Order them to...never mind.
CTO: Target weapons and fire.

CNS_Wells says:
::Wonders what this new ship has in their cargo bays.  Wonders if there is enough room in our supply bay::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: Evasive maneuver pattern November Eight.  Firing weapons now.  Torpedo's away!

Host XO_Worthington says:
CTO: What are their weapon capabilities?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::taps her console and inputs a pattern designed to help the CTO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: fires off a round of torpedo's towards the Orion vessel's warp engines and weapon hard points. ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard  (Torpedos.wav)

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Uncertain yet, but so far shields holding.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  It appears two torpedo tubes are destroyed on the Orion Ship.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: We've disabled their torpedo launchers with that round.  Uncertain of their warp capability as yet, another round sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Bring down their weapons, and then see about engines.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Let them know we will stop them.  Surrender to our authority and they will be far better off.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*SEC*: Boarding parties stand by.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: targets the remaining weapon hard points on the Blockade Runner and looses another round of torpedoes at them. ::
CO: Torpedoes away.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Suddenly the Orion engines stop.  The ship drops out of warp.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Contact has dropped out of warp!

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: Nice shot.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Drop out of Warp and bring us along side.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Tractor beams are ready when you are sir.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::taps her console and brings the Cherokee out of warp and swings around behind the Orion ship::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Prepare boarding teams, we'll get the ship locked in.
CTO: Engage.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CO: Aye. CTO/CNS: Ready for round 2?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Aye, sir. :: Engaging the tractor beams and locking the new ship in their energetic embrace. ::

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Orion Ship:  Surrender to our authority, if you do not stop, you will be stopped..

CNS_Wells says:
XO: I'm always up for more shopping.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Ship is secured in tractor beam hold sir.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
OPS:  Has the ship replied to your hail?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
XO: Let's do this.

CNS_Wells says:
::Gets up to follow::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: Grins as he's still in his away team gear. ::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
CTO: Commander, they're ionizing their hull!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Transport room 1.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: See if you can access their computer systems and see what they're doing.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::gets up and rushes over:: CTO/XO: You won't be able to transport in.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: swirls around at the SO's report. :: CO: those sneaky little pains in the...

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I will do my best.  ::attempts to access their computer systems::

Host XO_Worthington says:
SO: Explain.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: rushes over back to the Tactical station and uses the scanner pallet to search for a way to disable the hull ionization. :: XO: Working on a way to disable it, sir.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::swallows, wondering how deep he's stepped in it:: XO/CTO: The Orions have been at this a long time. They ionized the spaces in their hull with highly radiated particles. I imagine the tractor is already losing cohesion. ::Glances at the tactical officer:: You won't be able to transport inside.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL:: *SEC*: Continue to stand by. We will go as soon as we are able.

CNS_Wells says:
XO/CTO: Nothing wrong with taking their stuff, right? I mean, it keeps it from getting into enemy hands. If we turned it over it would just sit in a Starfleet warehouse someplace collecting dust. Who knows how often we will get supplies.

CNS_Wells says:
::Shuts up to let them solve the newest problem::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO/ SO/ CTO: Can you get past it with shuttles?

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
CO: Sir, I know I am not tactical, but couldn't we just shoot a hole in the hull and enter that way?

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::gestures to the pilot:: CO: That should work.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
::dang, simple is the easiest, then grins to herself::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
XO: Get a shuttle ready, and use the shuttle Phasers to cut a way in.  Scalpel, not bludgeon please.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: shrugs at the suggestion. :: CO: A focused Phaser blast with Security teams in enviro suits could board her.  It's definitely a plausible action.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::moves over to the tactical officer's side:: CTO: I don't know what those other energy signatures are yet. I'd like to come along.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Would a Shuttle be easier?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: ponders this and nods. :: CO: Yeah...I gotta agree with the shuttle idea.  Makes for a better controlled blast.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*SEC*: Send two men to meet me in the Shuttle bay, stand by for transport. ::heads for the shuttle bay at full speed::

Kandi_Chase says:
::Smiles about the conversation between CO and his CTO::

CNS_Wells says:
::Follows XO::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Minutes later, the hull is breached on the Orion ship.  The Cherokee crew are moving into heavy hand to hand combat.  The SO is tracing down the energy signatures.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
@ ::staying behind the guys with the guns, breathing hard inside his suit as he fingers the Tricorder in gloved hands::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Keep a very close eye on them over there.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::firing away, making his way forward.::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Always do.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: uses his hand Phaser to disable one crew member as he moves to the next hallway, targeting the next. ::

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::makes a hand gesture to the CTO for a pincer move in the next hallway::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Also, see if you can find a way to de-ionize their hull.  Let us beam some of the hostiles out, or perhaps some anesthezine in.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Follows behind, Phaser drawn, uses it when necessary::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
@ ::shouts into his suit mic, over the sounds of weapon fire:: XO/CTO: The weirdest signature is this way! ::gestures down a narrow hall.::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Understood.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: nods and moves to take one side of the corridor.:: *XO*: Sir, Maybe I should take Ensign Duke with me to check that energy signature out.  I'll have Miller take my place here.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  The Orions systems begin to shut down, one by one.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::runs across, taking out the next set of victims:: CTO: You get to the bridge, I will go with the SO.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: nods to Miller and then growls. :: XO: Sir.  I think you'd be better off taking the bridge.  I can keep an eye on Duke.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@SO: Let's go. CNS: Cover me. ::runs across the hall with the SO and CNS::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::squeezes between the group and into the dark, flickering corridor of cargo bays, stopping by each heavy blast door to find the source of the emission::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  The XO is pinned down with fire from 3 Orions.

OPS_Nash says:
::she detects a signal trying to be sent by the Orions, she blocks the signal::   CO:  Captain, I just block a signal coming from the Orions.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Covers the XO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@Sec Team: Get the XO out of that fire line.  Pin them down.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@CTO: Go with the SO, I will hold them here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@SO: Come on Ensign, lets go find that energy whatever.

CNS_Wells says:
@::Stays close to the team::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Can you tell what it was?  Was it a call for help or something else?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@ :: runs with the SO in the direction he indicated. ::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  That is undetermined, looking into it now.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::continues to fire from his cover, unable to move:: CNS: Try to get them to move into the open.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::beckons Hazzard and gestures to a bay as plain as any of the others as the Tricorder trills and vibrates in his hand:: CTO: It's this one.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Artificial gravity is no longer functioning on the Orion ship.  The emergency lights have come on.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: keeps his eyes peeled for any signs of trouble, growling again at the fading gravity. :: *SEC Teams*: All teams switch to gravimetric boots to counter failing gravity.

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::feels the gravity go and propels himself from the bulkhead across the corridor, firing at his attackers::

SO_Ens_Duke says:
@ Self: Ahhh! ::grabs for a handle and gropes around for the controls to his boots before adhering to the floor once more, finding purchase to work on the lock and open it up:: CTO: Uh... after you? ::glances into the dark bay::

CNS_Wells says:
@XO: Be ready to move. ::Makes a short dash up and across corridor firing as he goes. Advancing may force them out, or he might get shot::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  Pure dumb luck has the XO taking down two of his attackers.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Sir, the signal was calling for help.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: grins and nods as he makes his way inside the cargo bay.  using his field light to illuminate the darkness inside. ::

CNS_Wells says:
@::Now is floating across the corridor:: SELF: Great timing!

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::when he hits the ground, engages the magnetic boots and now he and the CNS have them in a cross fire::

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  A shot is fired at the CNS, which hits him in the left arm.

SO_Ens_Duke says:
@ ::follows Hazzard and the Tricorder in, moving toward the strongest signal and stops in front of a large stack of crates bolted to the floor for stability and gets a clear signal through the casing:: Self: No...

Host XO_Worthington says:
@::finishes off the attackers:: CNS: You’re hit, how bad?

CNS_Wells says:
@::Taking XO's lead falls into position as he is hit by Phaser fire::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@:: walks up to the cargo crates and does not like the tone of the SO's voice. :: SO: What is it, Ensign?  What have you found?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Then let's make them think its coming.  Send a false answer saying message acknowledged.  Then ask them to drop ionization to allow the reinforcements to beam over.

CNS_Wells says:
@XO: Oww! I'm okay, I guess. Let's keep going.

Host aFCO-Candoit says:
ACTION:  The SO has gone deathly pale.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
SO: Talk to me Duke.  What is it?

SO_Ens_Duke says:
::unlatches the case and lifts the lid, showing the crystal canister inside with sharp, hash marks on it in an obvious language:: ::looks over at Hazzard:: CTO: You tell me sir. Where did these people get Tholian weaponry from?

Host XO_Worthington says:
@CNS: This way! ::heads for the bridge, blasting anything in his path::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
SO: Sunova...oh, somebody is gonna wish they were never born when I get done with them.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye sir.   ::sends the false answer, then adds that they needs to drop ionization to allow reinforcements::

CNS_Wells says:
@::Follows Worthington:: XO: Good thing it wasn't my Phaser hand, huh?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
@*CO*: Captain...Hazzard here.  We've uncovered Tholian weaponry in the cargo hold. Permission to unleash a HUGE CAN of whoopbottom!
