Host CO_Ayidee says:
Captain's Log, The Cherokee is continuing it's roll in the battle against the Synod, and we have a job to do.  

*All*: This mission is going to be rough, but we have a job to do, and if we do it well it might just about end this war here and now.

*XO*: Deflectors are a priority, make sure Engineering is doing everything possible.  Until that is ready, have a Warp 9 intensity Warp bubble pushed through the navigational deflector array set to deflect energy weapons.  If Engineering needs more manpower, take it from anywhere you can find it except Tactical and Medical.

OPS: Get every available probe to the Shuttle bays, and have them converted into decoy drones, made to have a sensor signature like a Runabout, and then launch them and have them move to flank the enemy position from the positive x axis of the fleet.  Prepare to initiate a conversion of the SIF or IDF to reinforce the shields if the other plans do not hold out long enough.

CTO: Take the current Tractor beam configuration and have it linked into the tactical shield control system to have them react like normal shields should.  Obviously this won’t match real shields for effectiveness against their torpedoes, but it should help greatly.  Set Phasers to prepare for a wide dispersion field, which should be effective exploding any incoming torpedoes.  If the torpedo flow continues to be so impressive, prepare a pattern to try and disrupt the incoming flow towards the fleet.  When in close fleet maneuvers, keep Phasers at the conventional settings.

CMO: I don’t need to tell you what needs to be done.  Anyone not currently engaged in critical operations (Tactical or Engineering) is available to you.  Once Shields are back up, the available crew pool should increase.

CNS: I need some insight into our foes, and although there isn’t enough information available for a full profile, see what you can determine about their tactics and, by extension, their goals for the battle.

aFCO: Launch all shuttles, which are already on launch alert.  Each shuttle should fly to it’s assigned position, use it’s own Tractor beam to latch itself to the hull, and then push it’s shields out to try and protect the ship.  The D’Amato will take the Bridge, Antisisqua will take the underside of the Bridge, Aniawi will sit between the Navigational Deflector and the torpedo launchers, the Anigilohi and Anisahoni will sit on the top of the Engineering hull, and the Anniwaya and Anigotegewi will cover the underside.  The Dosa and Kanatsisdetsi will remain on standby to fill in any gaps, as will the shuttle pods.

Host Narrator says:
“The Sethan Offensive - Pt 2” - In the strictest of terms, the Starfleet assault on the Sethan Nebula has been a success. At a cost of one hundred ships damaged or destroyed, Starfleet has destroyed three hundred of the enemy's, including most of their larger and stronger capital ships.

The Sethan battleground is a graveyard of broken and burning ships. As the Andromeda Task Group reforms to press the attack and finish the Synod off, they must do so by sailing through the remains of their enemies and friends alike, making repairs on the fly and calling on their reserves of determination to see them through.

Still the enemy makes no attempt at communication. What little Synod traffic Starfleet can pick up bears no resemblance to an SOS - even from those Synod ships obviously in distress. The Synod offer Starfleet nothing but silence. No taunts. No cries for mercy.

Their actions speak for themselves as the Synod fleet reforms into a bulwark to thrust their enemy back from their supply lines and command ship while Starfleet's own channels are jammed with calls for assistance from damaged ships, distress signals and escape pod locator beacons.

In the face of such resolve, can Starfleet truly beat the Synod? Or merely kill them?

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::has had enough and leaves her quarters for the bridge::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.:: *All*: We're going in, take the next few seconds to call for favors from whatever guiding forces you believe in.  God speed, and I'll see all of you on the other side.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exiting the TL and running towards Engineering::

OPS_Nash says:
::already been praying for a positive outcome::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Helm: Bring us back around to the center of the line.  See if you can find us a few other frigates to group up with and form a wing with.

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: If you still got quantum torpedoes left, fire them at the Synod capital ships.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::exiting the TL she enters the bridge and looks around at the quietly controlled chaos::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: fingers fly over his board as he begins to restructure the Tractor Beam array to act as a make shift shield system. :: CO: Captain...been thinking about making adjustments to the warhead programmin’ on our torps.  The way the Synod are formed up, if we set the torps to act like a shotgun, spread the damage in a bigger delivery…

OPS_Nash says:
::tells her staff to get every available shuttle converted into decoy drones mimicking the signature of a Runabout.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
All: Admiral on the Bridge!

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, a minute of your time please.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::nods to the CTO, then smiles::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: returns the grin before returning his attention to the CO. :: CO: We might be able to take more of them out with fewer shots.  Makes our job a bit easier.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::enters Engineering:: CEO: Report!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Set it to go, and open fire as soon as you get a clear shot around the fleet.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: You got it sir.  One Hazzard Family Special Shotgun coming up.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Yes ma'am, but it has to be fast.  We have a task ahead and not much time to set up.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CO:  I have seen your plans for using the shuttles.  Do you honestly believe this is a wise move, when we are badly damaged?

CNS_Wells says:
::Acknowledges the Admiral trying to hide the concern on his face:: 

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: We are working as fast as we can sir. We are trying to get the shields up ASAP.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: continues to work at the Tractor Beam as he sends a prepared message to his weapon teams to set up the warheads for their new settings. ::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  The shuttles are neazly ready to deploy with the necessary modifications.

Host Narrator says:
Action: The Armada continues to press deeper into the enemy lines, Synod forces are giving ground

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He is rerouting one of the muscular network blood vessels, giving a chance to pull out a rod that is in Aney’s body:: 

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: What do you need from me. How many more men can you use?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: We have to press the attack, or else the fleet is going to face heavier losses.  We can end this war today if we hit hard enough.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sweats from the effort of working on several things at once as his fingers ache.  Sighing in relief as the Tractor Beam array shimmers around the ship in its new capacity. :: CO: Sir, I've got partial Shield capacity from the Tractor.  Its not much, but its better than nothing.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CO:  And what information do you have that I don't?

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: The Hazzard Family Special is a resounding success. The concussion wave of its explosion causes a pair of Kuk-class fighters to slam into the side of their parent Aken and explode, setting off a chain reaction that damages a further two ships.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: His hands are in the blood to the elbows and looks at the sensors that occupy that Biobed::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
ALL: YEEEEE-HAW!!!  Its Synod Hunting Season you miserable bunch of no good malcontents!!!

CNS_Wells says:
::Tries not to eavesdrop on the Admiral and Captain's conversation but, can't help it::

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: Honestly sir, we are not lacking in manpower, just time.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::tries not to grin at the CTO's comment::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: I have only the information before me, but this fleet has got to be the majority of the Synod force.

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: The remainder of the swarm of Synod Kuk-class fighters reforms and streams like a tongue of fire at the Andromeda Task Group, engaging at range with the Starfleet Star fighters, creating a mass of swirling, swooping and dodging lights shredding each other.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins as he sets up another round of shots from the modified launcher, looking for suitable formations to unleash his fury upon. ::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CO:  If you believe that Tio, you are more naive that I thought.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Keep pounding, and hit at the center of the lines.  Fleet needs those "shot gun" blasts to crack the enemy.

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: The Pebet-class torpedo cruisers are their most serious weapon. Concentrate your fire on them.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CO:  I will leave you alone for now... but be warned, if I need to, I will step in if I deem it necessary.

Kandi_Chase says:
::Off consoling herself in her quarters and fixing her make up. She knows she must return to the bridge. Decides to change her outfit before her return::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::steps back to give her Captain room::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::After next few cuts he finally succeeds in finding one of the crushed veins in the abdomen that has leaked a huge amount of blood::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: What I believe isn't the point, Admiral.  We have a job to do, and we have the means to do it.  If this isn't their main fleet, then we'll deal with that when the time comes.  The Chain of Command is followed or we are nothing more than barbarians.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: targeting the closest wave of torpedo boats he cracks a grim smile. :: CO: Oh...wait till they get a load of this. :: fires another salvo of "shotgun" torps into the mass of Torpedo boats. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Good work.

Host XO_Worthington says:
::moves over to a console so he can coordinate the shuttles:: CEO: Then don't let me keep you. I am going to try to initiate a warp nine intensity warp bubble through the deflector dish.

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: In the distance, the Pebets are realigning to bring the remainder of their arsenal to bear like ancient archers knocking arrows and drawing back on the strings.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: How soon can we get the probe decoy fleet launched?

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: A Synod Aken-class Heavy Cruiser is holed from the impact of the torpedoes launched by Andromeda. Its own arsenal of resonance torpedoes explodes, taking out one of its sister Akens.

CNS_Wells says:
::Looks to the Admiral reassuringly. He knows she is worried for her crew::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: unleashes salvo after salvo into the mass of Pebets, not giving them a chance to further diminish the armada's already weakened front line. ::

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
MO: Fast, I need to put her in the operation unit and I need a blood supplement for her.  I cant let go, if I do she will die of blood loss.
<MO> CMO: Yes doctor right away!

OPS_Nash says:
::getting word form her staff::  CO:  Sir, right now.  The modifications were just completed.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: With all due respect sir, you could kill us all. Are you crazy? Where are you going to get the power?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: keeps his eyes peeled as he releases torpedo after torpedo, not willing to give the Synod a single chance to surprise him again after the Pebet surprise. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Engage it, give those Pebets something else to worry about.

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Masses of ships soak up a lot of the firepower from the Armada before it can reach the Pebets. Still, they take serious damage.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Right away, Captain.

OPS_Nash says:
::tells her staff to launch the decoys on the double::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
ACTION:  OPS launches the probe decoys.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: Anything in their actions that might tip their hands as to what they are trying to accomplish?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes time to transmit the specifications for the Hazzard Family Special to other vessels nearby, hoping to increase the effectiveness of this new modification. ::

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: In the rear echelon, a drifting, seriously damaged USS Elara tumbles through the debris of the ships destroyed in front of them, taking impacts as they fight to restore control of their ship.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: As the MO pulls over  Aney an operating unit, he slightly changes his hands, so that he can hold vein inside of the unit::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Sharing the wealth with the other ships sir.  Why hunt alone when you can make up a posse?
Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Look, we have to get back in this fight right now and these are my orders. I am going to transfer power from life support. Get ready to initiate on my command. *OPS*: Evacuate the lower decks immediately. I am cutting life support to transfer to the engines.

Host Narrator says:
INFO: As the Pebets align behind the Duat-Class command ship, Starfleet can detect a pulsing code being emitted, like a countdown.

CNS_Wells says:
::Gets up and approaches the Admiral:: ADM: Why don't you come and sit in my seat.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the formation and frowns. :: CO: Cap...they're up to something.  I think we might have a problem.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: What kind of a problem?

OPS_Nash says:
*XO*:  Understood.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: No Sir.  They aren't making any sense.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Can you figure out that transmission from the ships?  Its like they’re coordinating for something, something huge.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CNS:  Thank you Gary.  You are needed where you are.  I am used to making do.  Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: In time with the pulse, the remaining Pebets launch their second wave of missiles. Half-strength this time with the damage they've taken, but still over 3000 missiles arc over the remaining Synod lines and make a direct course for the fleet.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::With other hand he activates a program on the medical computer on the operation unit to clamp the vein so he can pull out the rod from Aney’s belly.::

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: Sir, this has to be done perfectly or you will kill us all. I do not feel comfortable carrying out these orders. However if it must be done, then let us get going.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I think they can tell they're losing, like they're getting ready to...

OPS_Nash says:
Shipwide:   Lower decks, evacuate to the upper levels immediately. Power is being rerouted to use in battle.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: Evasive Action...NOW!!!!

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: Evasive actions!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Get the tractors set to full repulse.  Let's try and minimize our targeting silhouette.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: immediately draws remaining power from the Phaser and secondary systems to bolster the shields as best as he can. ::

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: Aye, Ma'am. He's really doing a fine job. ::Looks at CO then, goes back to his place::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Swing us about, let's get hard to hit.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> ALL:  Taking evasive actions!  ::as his fingers fly across the console::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Increasing power to shields.  Giving it everything we got.

Host Narrator says:
Action: The Fleet lines begin evasive maneuvers and spin up their impulse drives, a hundred glowing red impulse trails dart about.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: We are about to initiate the warp bubble, sir. If this fails we won't have time to regret it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Use your Family Special, let's see if it can cause their torpedoes to explode prematurely.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Already on it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Excellent, we may need it very soon.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: uses the torpedo controls to pick out incoming enemy torpedoes, intercepting them with blooms of fiery explosions from his own torpedoes. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Estimates to restoration of normal shields?

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: The second Pebet barrage is not nearly as effective as the first, but still, it does massage damage to those ships unable to get out of the way. An Akira-class carrier takes a massive strike along her spine, splitting her down the middle, her catamarans bending in on themselves as the ship folds in two and then rips apart, nacelles spinning off.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Initiate warp bubble on my mark...MARK!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
Synod: I've had...just about enough...of you mealy mouth little parasites!!!!

Kandi_Chase says:
::Returns to the bridge but, notices we are still at Red Alert so stays in the back out of the way. She does however turn on her recorder::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<AFCO> CO:  Sir, the Cherokee just lost several inches on her waist... slim target Sir!  ::grins::

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: Initiating. ::begins the sequence::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
aFCO: Set maneuver pattern Echo Seven, line us up along the flank of that Pebet line.  It’s time to shoot some fish outta the flippin’ barrel!

Host Narrator says:
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Two resonance torpedoes strike the Andromeda amidships, disrupting the warp core explosive decompression on decks 15 and sixteen.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He pulls out a rod and looks at rest of the medical team to find see he can't spare anyone to go and check for casualties on those decks that will be cut off::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Relax, anger will only distract you.  Keep focused, and deal with the emotions after things are set.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Warp bubble forms and holds.

Host Narrator says:
Host Lilia says:
ACTION: Again explosions are seen in front of the Elara, it will be a miracle if the ship manages to evade the debris and the fire from the Synod.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Good, modified shields won't hold long.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: Bubble holding steady, sir. I don't know how much time we have.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: targets the group of ships nearest the Elara, using a few shots to take pressure off of the troubled ship. ::

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: The Elara miraculously escapes through the tunnel set by the FCO, with the help of the deflector dish. However, just as they emerge from the debris area, the ship is hit again, this time in one of the nacelles. She is venting plasma

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: How is the target selection?  Shrinking yet?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Its still a buffet table at a Texan BBQ, but I'm still hungry.  :: cracks his knuckles. :: And no body can out eat a Texan.

Host Narrator says:
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Fleet takes hits, the Virgo as before valiantly takes hits for her flagship.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: Warp bubble initiated. I am rerouting the nav deflector to this console. Hopefully it should deflect energy weapons. I do not know how long it will hold.

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: Those ships that still have weapons and engines need to take those Pebet-class cruisers down.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The probes sent out by the Cherokee are deflecting the oncoming torpedoes.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Good work, now let's get those shields up.

CNS_Wells says:
ALL: The Virgo was just hit. 

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: curses as he shakes his head...concentrating on the mass of Synod Pebet ships in front of him. :: CO: I've got a good load of Pebets in need of Photon Re-education.  Permission to ring the school bell, sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: How many Pebet cruisers can you detect?  Target the closest and...
CNS: Virgo?  wasn't that the ship that was doubled at Kirk?
CTO: Fire at will.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO*: read you loud and clear sir, I'll take what ever help you can give me.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He is just hoping for the best and drops bloody rod on the floor.  As the rod rolls to the wall in sick bay, it leaves a trail of red, that looks like an amateur whitened a wall with paint and left it to dry with empty parts within::

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Yes, Sir. It's kind of weird, huh?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: growls and lets fly several rounds of deadly torpedo fire. :: Synod : ding ding you rat faced Feldercarb!!!

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: Regroup for attack!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Bring us in an arc around the edge of the fleet, and keep wide of the Virgo.  Call it bad premonitions.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Inform the Commodore we're pressing as hard as the ship can handle, for as long as torpedoes last.

Host Narrator says:
Host Narrator says:
SCENE: In an act the fleet didn't expect, they witness something they haven't seen in nearly ten years. An Aken-class maneuvers through a line of fighters, shrugging off their relatively low-power attacks to collide with the USS Cassiopeia, an Ambassador like Andromeda that disintegrates as the Aken's warp core goes critical.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::But Aney is safe for now, she is now in control, there is no bleeding, he can operate on her to reestablish normal body functions::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*OPS*: Reroute shuttle shield control to my console.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO: Aye sir... I don't like this myself.  I get the impression they want us in closer to spring something else out of that nebula!

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes Sir.

Kandi_Chase says:
::Watches Mark and the others fighting in battle and although still scared feels better about things, somehow::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Sir, they're resorting to ramming us.  Suggest we keep our distance from the main group of ships in case they decide to reach out and touch someone...namely us.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Fleet Commander:  We are pressing as hard as the ship can handle as long as the torpedoes last.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: This much energy could open the other side of the White Hole, although that's a bit of a stretch of the known facts.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CTO:  Amen to that one Mark!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Noted, and agreed.  Hoping we're too small to warrant a ramming, but let's not press that belief.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
SO: Keep an eye on that pulsar.  I want to make sure all this energy and radiation doesn't set that sucker off!

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: Another two Starfleet vessels are struck by Synod destroyers colliding with them on suicide runs. One of them is the USS Sycorax, a Nebula like Elara. She takes an Aken down her throat, directly through the deflector dish before she starts to explode from the inside out.

OPS_Nash says:
*XO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::she reroutes the shuttle shield control to the XO location.:: *XO*:  Controls rerouted.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
<SO Simpson> CTO: Yes sir....monitoring on side pallet Bravo.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: They're on their Synod suicide kick again. They are ramming ship's!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: How many of the Pebet corvettes remain?

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: Shortly after, the USS Choctaw, a New Orleans like Cherokee has its bridge cored by a fighter craft. All the lights on the ship immediately go out.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO>  CO:  Sir, ever heard of bumper cars?  This is what it is beginning to feel like out here ::dodging more debris::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: There is nothing more scary than a fanatical zealot who's cornered.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He patches up cut veins and begins to stitch up musculature path of abdomen::

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: Our enemies know that they have lost this battle and they are seeking desperate measures.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: uses the sensors to answer the CO's order.:: CO: I read about a dozen of those pesky suckers...

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: With no more missiles to launch, the Pebets withdraw back into the clouds of the Sethan Nebula.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: They're pulling out, switching targets to the capital ships.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::leans over and whispers::  CTO:  Do you believe that arrogance of that man?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::tries to use the shuttles shields to protect the Cherokee, however it looks a if the shields are finding interference:: CEO: Why are the shuttles shields not working to protect us?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Then target of opportunity, nearest ship gets torpedoed.  How many torpedoes do we have left?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: When this is all over, I'm handing you my pips cause I'm gonna pop him one in the jaw.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Agreed Sir. More knowledge of the Synod's beliefs are key to winning this thing. Everyone has their Kryptonite.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CTO:  After me Commander!

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: The Synod battle line is beginning to collapse in on itself as the damage its sustaining mounts.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Relax, keep focused.  Is the port torpedo pod still full, or is it closer to empty?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Cap, something ain’t right.  They wouldn't pull ships out if they are willing to sacrifice them.  They're up to something, I think maybe we should get ready to haul kiester.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: Must be the warp bubble causing the interference. I am trying my hardest here to get our shields up.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, I don't like this... as a favor ::hears the CTO say what she felt::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I've got a few more rounds left in the pods.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Sir, it looks like the warp bubble is interfering with shields on the shuttles.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::listens to the XO and CO::

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Four Aken-class destroyers with tow fields locked on, haul a Khenta with its engines damaged toward the Starfleet lines.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, if they know they're losing they would ram us.  If they're withdrawing ships, they're up to something.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he finishes he takes cell regenerator unit and begins to force high regeneration in the muscular tissue so it could connect and he could close up the skin and put a suture on the wound and get to the next injured::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: unleashes a volley of torpedoes at the mass of Aken's hoping to disrupt whatever they are planning. ::

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: There's your target.

OPS_Nash says:
CTO:  It's almost as if they are going to get Daddy to help bail out of a skirmish.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO/ CTO: Prepare the dorsal pod for ejection.  Immediately upon ejection, make a hard turn to starboard.  With luck, we can spin it at them as an improvised weapon.  Once done with that, be ready to jump out of the area if they try something.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::mutters under her breath::  Self:: More like a red herring.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: One giant sized aluminum bat...coming up.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  Aye, aye Sir!  Best Idea I have heard all day!

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: That ship must be important if they are going through the trouble of towing it.

Host Narrator says:
INFO: Across the fleet, science officers everywhere can detect the distinct energy signature of the Khenta's COVEN cannon reactor spinning back up.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: No, they're using it as a battering ram...

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: I suspect major explosives.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Cap...get us away from that group of ships!!!

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Instead of firing the green lance they'd seen twice already, the gaping maw of the Synod super cannon stays dark. Instead, an array on its back rises out of its housing, glowing bright green with verteron energy before vents along its edge split open and release a wave of energy that washes over the ATG, damaging or destroying equipment.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: It's big, and will blow up fine.  
CTO: Fire all we have at that Khenta as we pull away!
aFCO: Keep us from that Khenta!

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He sew one with open fracture of the left knee cap, one of the Medical techs has treated that crew member just to not loose the blood, but the Biobed is already blue form that leg::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  Getting the heck out of Dodge now Sir!  ::turning the Cherokee::

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: See, that's your target. Don't miss!

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: Many Starfleet ships drift, offline or nearly so with equipment sputtering through the disruption.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Suggest to all ships to keep away from that Khenta, they're trying to catch us in a trap, let's let it snap on air.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: releases volley after volley of torpedoes, his fingers flying as he continuing to fire over and over. ::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: What's going on up there, sir?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: growls and slams the console before getting back to work. :: *XO*: EMP blast from a overloaded Khenta bug zapper.  Switch to back up systems.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Fleet Ships:  Keep away from that Khenta, they luring us in their trap.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Synod unleashed a major EMP, we're trying to back away.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: immediately brings up the secondary and emergency controls. ::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: Any of our survivors out there? How is the fleet on medical ships?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: You have crews in the torpedo tubes, right?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO* Get the emergency batteries up and running sir. That thing just shut down the primaries!

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: While the Starfleet ships sputter to a halt at the verteron assault, the background pulse that had been getting quieter finally ends with a sharp squawk. On the surface of the planetoid a tower falls away and a resonance rocket scaled up many times from their missiles launches.

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  I haven't hears anything yet on that matter.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: There goes our warp bubble. Let's get the back up's online now!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Yep...If they have to, we'll push out the torpedoes by hand.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Have them clear the room, then open the tubes.  Provide us a bit of thrust away from the Synod and whatever they're planning.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: Doing that now.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::As he sees that the power is getting out he puts suture on Aney’s stomach and walks to the battery supplements and activates one so that  Sickbay could have light inside::

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Spiraling through the clouded nebula, it doesn't turn toward the drifting and helpless Starfleet ships but instead makes a sharp turn toward the heart of Setha, sweeping past the Duat-class command ship and into the spinning pulsar. Before impact, sensor records show traces of Trilithium.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Get us a course plotted in, second we have systems back, back us away.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  Sir at least we are moving away from that "thing" not towards it.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Cap, I've got a projectile heading towards the pulsar core.  Oh crap, TRILITHIUM WARHEAD!  We need to go, NOW!

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: The blazing bright Sethan pulsar flashes, the pulsing light flaring before the light starts to spin backwards like a siren in reverse. The brightness quickly faces before the pulsar suddenly collapses, immediately consuming the Duat. In a swirl of sapphire clouds, the Sethan Singularity is formed.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  Ut oh sir, I don't like the looks of that.
CTO:  What happens if they fire into the nebula? ::turning white::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Also target the closest Starfleet ship that is disabled.  Try and pull them out to safety when we can.

Host Narrator says:
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Where once the Sethan Nebula once was now an engine of death stands, the familiar and soul chilling Black Hole!

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
FCO:  I think your question has just been answered.

CNS_Wells says:
::Stares out the view screen in disbelief::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: realigns the tractor array to allow them to tow the nearest ship. :: CO: On it.  Tell Engineering we need every ounce of energy they can give us.

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Waves of gravitational energy washes over the Synod and Starfleet armadas like massive quakes. The planetoid shatters like an eggshell and is pulled into the singularity.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Redirecting available power to engines and tractor control, this is not going to be pretty.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: We should have limited warp capability soon sir. Shields are still going to be a while.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: We gotta go...now!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO* Commander? Do you still have control of the shuttlecraft?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Give the order to shuttle bay crews, Clear the bays and open the doors, we need all the thrust we can get until engine control is back on line.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: That's affirm.

Kandi_Chase says:
CTO: What's happening? ::Said as a scared girl not a reporter::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*XO*: Forget the shields, get us impulse control as soon as possible.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO* Have them full fire their impulse engines.  We can use all of that thrust to increase ship speed, have them act like booster rockets!

OPS_Nash says:
::she thinks of her unborn child and shudders that there maybe a chance that it will not be born and that scares her to no end, she rubs her abdomen::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO>  CO:  Yes sir :: relays the orders to the shuttle bay crews::  Clearing the bays now Sir... 30 seconds on your command.

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: The enemy is not capable of fighting. Drop down shields and divert all the power to engines.  Pull back from the nebula!

Host XO_Worthington says:
::engages impulse:: *CTO*: Tell the FCO I am sorry, but I am glad I don't have to steer. Engines engaged.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
All Med team: Please get you self a pack with med kits and Tricorders, as well as flash lights just in case you need it. And be careful.  In this situation we may loose gravitation or such so hold on and be careful to band everyone that are on the Biobed so they can't slide off.

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: The Starfleet can see the Synod Khenta carrier that left them disabled ripped apart by the singularity's suddenly ravenous hunger.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees Kyleigh's action:: OPS: Hang in there, little mother. It's gonna be okay, I know it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Get us anything you can from the engines, use short burst to minimize the chances of impact, but get us moving.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I've got the shuttles acting as additional thrust, Cap, every little bit helps...

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  Sir, we have engines and am engaging them now!

CNS_Wells says:
CO: Oh great, now the Commodore thinks its a good time to leave.

OPS_Nash says:
::just looks at the CNS with a worried look.:

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: Heh, better late than never.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: See if you can pull along any of the disabled ships nearby.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO>  CO:  Sir, shuttle engines engaged, and doors to bays are now open!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Doing what I can sir.  Is it too late to ask if I can get a raise?  At least hazard pay...no pun intended.

CNS_Wells says:
::Smiles at the Captain knowing he got us through this alive::

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: In a stuttering of white noise and loud klaxons, systems begin to come back online around the fleet, rid of the verteron influence.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Set the torpedo pods to eject, the blasting should both give us some thrust, and at least lower our mass a touch.

Host Narrator says:
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: Warp drive is now impossible for the entire fleet due to the formation of discharge of the black hole, Escape at impulse will be impossible for the Federation, crews begin to pray

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::puts her hand to her mouth to keep from laughing at this very inappropriate time, then winks at the CTO::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: All power is transferred to engines. Might want to hold our breath, I took as much as I could from life support.

Host Narrator says:
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Fleet is being pulled in like the death hand of a skeleton emerging from the grave of the hateful Synod.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: uses the freed systems and energy to increase the output to engines and tractor beams, latching on to any ships unable to make good their escape.

OPS_Nash says:
::nods as she sets the torpedo pods to eject, all the while she hopes that it will work::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
All: Any ideas to help things will be appreciated, barring that, let's cross our fingers.

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: Destroyed hulks and ships with engines offline are the first to be pulled toward it, spinning through the remaining ships on their tumble toward the singularity. Some of the debris strikes working ships, taking them along.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: If you have any aces up your sleeve, now would be a good time.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Keep pushing, we aren't giving up.

Kandi_Chase says:
<KYLE>::In Observation lounge getting all the action on film and thinking how this will be a boost to his career if he lives::

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> *FCO*: Try impulse now.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO*: Draw power from life support...I'm sending everything I've got down to you...

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  If I could get out a push I would... or get the Syn-dogs out to push us!

Host Narrator says:
Action: The Event horizon is close to the Federation front

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He activates intercom with the bridge to find out what is going on::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: Yea, I took as much as I could. Try not running your yap so much, you might need the oxygen later. ::laughs::

Host Narrator says:
Action: However the Fleet suddenly begins to glow with a ghostly luminescence as the chronoton particles reaction with the unnatural formation of the Black Hole, the Synod have ripped the space time continuum and near the fleet a white hole begins to form.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
~~~CMO:  Jovan, shut down everything that is not keeping someone alive.  We need the power.  Tell the XO to draw from it.~~~

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Redirect the Tractor beam.  They manipulate mass, and that thing back there has more than enough.  Push us at the wave front, and let's cross our claws it'll work.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO*: If I don't get a chance to say this, I want to say it now.  With all due respect sir,  Bite me.

CNS_Wells says:
CO: There's our white hole, Sir.

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: From the fleet, a handful of vessels transmit messages to Andromeda, expressing their pleasure with working with Commodore Sketek before signing off finally.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
::He just does it, not thinking to much he shuts off whole Sickbay and med systems putting some of it on Battery support that was brought in earlier.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: I'll pretend I didn't hear that, given the circumstances.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  More good news Sir... you see what I see?

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Like you haven't wanted to tell him off on occasion sir.

Host Narrator says:
Action: The white hole is now to the west of the black hole balancing out the phenomena, the USS Virgo is crushed by the black hole and then falls into the white hole

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: I have transferred all power to engines. We should have impulse available.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
*XO*: You have all medical supplied power, I will not be needing it for some time!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sees that they actually might live through this and then remembers what he just said. :: CO: Oh crud.
CNS: I'm never...ever, going to hear the end of this from him.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: If we live through this, you may regret it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: As I said, given the circumstances.  ::Can't help laughing just a bit.::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> ::hears the XO and taps the impulse button::  CO:  We have GO now Sir! ::grins::

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Across the fleet, men and women, officers and enlisted men, beseech their varied gods for deliverance. Or failing that, a swift and painless end.

Kandi_Chase says:
::Has inched her way across the bridge and is near the CTO's station but, not where she would be a distraction, oh course::

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CTO:  If we do not live Mark, whoever sees the Commodore first, leave some for the other of us!

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Engines running red hot, Cherokee continues to lose ground, pulled inexorably toward the purple mouth behind them.

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: No, but I know I sure needed the laugh the Commander provided, even at your expense. You can take it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Pump every ounce of power into the tractor beams, using the wave front as a wall.  No idea if it will help, but it's not in me to give up.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Doing so now sir.  I'm NOT giving up on this ship yet.  I called dibs on that Center Chair and come heck or high water I WILL sit in it one day!!!!

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: One of the Starfleet ship self-destructs, rather than face the prospect of being torn apart atom by atom by the singularities.

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: Yeah? And where will you let the rest of us sit?

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO>  ::sighs, just wishing he had one chance at the Commodore himself::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: launches salvo after salvo of torpedoes into the event horizon of the black hole, hoping that the explosion might disrupt the gravitation effect of the black hole enough to allow them to escape. ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
Self: Come on...come on...Work Dangit!

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: The explosive power of the torpedoes are infinitesimal compared to the black hole and the blast clouds swirl into the mouth like everything else.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Good thought, been studying early nuclear propelled engines?

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: A few ships think to launch message buoys but they're swiftly consumed by the black hole.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Naw. just a poor loser.

Host Narrator says:
Action: There are no destructive forces emerging from the white hole the readings are identical to the ones around Hope Colony

Host Narrator says:
Action: The Chronoton particles in the fleet are reacting with the white hole, the white hole is exacting a pull on the fleet, forward motion towards the black hole stops

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Let's follow the currents.  That thing is an unknown at least.  Better the chronoton than the singularity.

CNS_Wells says:
ALL: It stopped!

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: This is Commodore Sketek. Follow the Andromeda to the white hole.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  Aye sir, steering into the current.  Wherever we end up, it has been a pleasure to serve with all you!

CNS_Wells says:
ALL: To the white hole?

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: Too bad we can't dump the warp core and ride it like a wave, unless we had a second warp core to use the deflector dish as a surfboard.

Host Narrator says:
Action: The impulse engines on the Andromeda flare with brilliance, the entire fleet makes a mad break for the white hole!

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: What the heck...I've got nothing better to do right now.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::as if they needed to be told by an upstart Commodore::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: With any luck, we'll soon be at Fort Kirk.  Without, it's been an honor serving with you all.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Same here sir.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*ALL*: This is Commander Worthington, see you all on the other side.

OPS_Nash says:
::nods at what the CO said, as she prays for a positive outcome.:

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
*XO* Even me sir? :: chuckles.

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: Well, I guess I'll just go along for the ride.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::reaching over, she places her hand on the CTO's arm::

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CTO*: Even you Mark. Best of luck to us both.

Kandi_Chase says:
CTO: We're going into that thing?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Elbereth: Guide us home...

Host Narrator says:
Action: The unknown white hole unfolds before them as the chronoton particles engulf the fleet, the Fleet disappears as it touches the event horizon of the white hole escaping the cold dead wrath of the Synod, telepathic crews feel a ghostly wail of evil despair as if the Synod rage against the Federation's escape.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::she grabs her head in pain, then gasps::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
Chase: And you say I never take you anywhere. :: Grasps her hand gently and squeezes. ::

Host Narrator says:
Action: After a bewildering journey, the Federation task force emerges into the Hope System near fort Kirk safe

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes the admiral's hand in his other. ::

Host Narrator says:
Host CO_Commodore_Sketek says:
COMM: Fleet: All ships, report.

Kandi_Chase says:
::looks a little pale but, it's not like she can get out and walk home::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: opens his eyes and looks about. :: ALL: Okay, if this is heaven, I think I've been gipped because this looks nothing like Texas.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Report that we're through, and will have a full status report as soon as we can get it.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::tries to shake off the feeling of rage and anger she picked up from the Synod::

Host Narrator says:
Action: Sighs and tears of joy come over the COMM channels as the joy of life and survival come across, the Federation Armada survivors number 14, we lost 200 ships.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: I need a sit rep so we can get repairs prioritized. 

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: immediately starts to work at getting a report on the ship's status. :: CO: Cap...I've got six torps remaining, 3 Phaser arrays online...and one seriously messed up paint job.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Fleet Commander:  USS Cherokee is through, and will have a full report as soon as we get it.

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Engineering is in rough shape but we should have warp in little while.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
<aFCO> CO:  Sir, I cannot give that to you until engineering has itself together.

Kandi_Chase says:
::For once, the reporter is speechless and can't think of a single thing to say as she looks out the view screen and hopes::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: leans against his console and grins. :: ALL: I don't know about you guys...but I can use a stiff drink right about now.

Host Narrator says:
SCENE: The crew of Cherokee, in their battered and bruised ship, limp out of the white hole on their end, sailing silently among the crushed hulks of their friends and enemies alike.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
Kandi Chase:  I understand completely dear.  Good to be alive isn't it?

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: Starfleet's death toll surpasses sixty thousand. The Synod, nearly a quarter of a million.

CNS_Wells says:
ALL: Now that I'm still alive I can say that that was quite the experience.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CNS:  And one I hope never to repeat.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
CNS: You doubted my skill at protecting this ship?  Heathen.

Host XO_Worthington says:
<CEO> XO: Sir, it is an honor top have you with us. We will have this place back together in no time.

Host XO_Worthington says:
CEO: I'll hold you to that.

OPS_Nash says:
ALL:  Great, yet another experience for me to talk to my shrink about.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins at the CNS and gives him a clap on the back. ::

Host Narrator says:
Host ACTD_JohnSea says:
Action: The Lovable Beast of Burden in orbit of Fort Kirk rushes over like a faithful dog to the Andromeda's side and immediately offers aid

CNS_Wells says:
CTO: I did no such thing. I know your aces.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: For a change, I actually think that's right.
OPS: Pass the word to the Lounge, drinks for the next 3 shifts are to go on my tab.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I will spread the word.

Host Narrator says:
ACTION: The USS Rinder supply tender makes a bee line for Cherokee and the hospital ship USS Samaritan makes for Elara to offload the casualties she's carrying.

CNS_Wells says:
ADM: See, Ma'am, the Captain pulled it off. He's a very smart guy.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: smiles and shakes his head. :: CO: Oh, and if the XO comes looking for me, I died in battle.  No sign of a body.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CNS:  Yes he is... otherwise he would not be the Captain!  ::smiling at Gary::

CNS_Wells says:
OPS: You okay, Mrs. Nash and company?

Host XO_Worthington says:
*CO*: Permission to return to the bridge sir?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: That won't cover you long I'm afraid.  ::Almost collapses in chair.::  *XO*: Granted, and thanks.  Great work.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: hears the CNS's words and frowns. :: CNS: See...I do all the work and he gets the credit.  I am sooooo ready for command.

OPS_Nash says:
CNS:  Physically fine, mentally that is left to be determined.

Kandi_Chase says:
::Goes to the CTO:: CTO: So, we are okay?

Host XO_Worthington says:
::salutes his friends in Engineering and makes his way back to the bridge.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: nods and grins. :: Kandi: Was there any doubt?  I told you.  I had this covered.

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: Gets up from one wounded man on the floor giving him a stimulant to relax and moves to Andorian that has open knee cap on the Biobed::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  And Captain, the USS Rinder, the supply tender is on approach to replenish our supplies.

Kandi_Chase says:
CTO: Thank you ::Hugs and kisses him square on the lips::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Send them our thanks, and let them know we'll have a status report ready soon.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
::grins as the reporter kisses the CTO::

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
:: is taken off guard by the beautiful reporter and takes a moment to recover. ::

OPS_Nash says:
::she longs to spend the next week alone with her husband::

Host XO_Worthington says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge, seeing Hazzard kissing the reporter:: Self: Oh boy!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*All*: Great work everyone, drinks on your next off duty trip to the lounge are on me.

CNS_Wells says:
::Sees what Chase did:: CHASE: Yuck, not on the bridge!

CMO_Lt_Brabas says:
:: He rips pants on his leg and begins to cut with laser scalpel around knee::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Will do.  ::she sends the supply vessel their thanks::

Kandi_Chase says:
CO: I think we all owe you a drink or two, too Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Hazzard says:
