Host CO_Ayidee says:
Ship's Log, Stardate 10707.15.  The Cherokee has managed to restore power after our run in with the mines that appear to have been sent to slow down any pursuit that came after the Hook.  We are now trying to make up for lost time and get to the Hook before anything happens to the crew.  With Yavanna's blessing, we'll make it.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
Acting Captain's Log, Stardate 10707.15. After successfully retaking the Hook and securing the crew we are now en route to meet with the Cherokee. However it looks like an old friend has decided to pay us a visit. Is it too late for us now that LoDuca has arrived or can we still find a way out of this mess?

Host SM-Trish says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge, watching the crew work to get us to the Hook's position.::  *All*: Status report.

Host Admiral-Alexander says:
CO:  Let's hope the person at the other end of this is not LoDuca, but I think everyone here believes that is who it is.  Are we ready for a fight?

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
::in Main Engineering get his Engineers working to get the Cherokee back up and running::

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@::Astonished to see the vessel de-cloaking:: Computer: Evasive actions, get us out of here! aHXO: Tell the Cherokee we are under attack and to stay away.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: gives the Admiral a long suffering look.  She should know better than to ask that question with him on the bridge. ::

OPS_Nash says:
::at OPS, monitoring communications::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CO: As ready as we can be.  Could use a few torpedo pods to even things up, but we'll manage as best we can without.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: standing at the back of the bridge looking on ::

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: Aye, Sir.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Shields are back to full strength, Phaser banks are charged and torpedoes are ready to torpedo.  I'm personally gonna sign my name on that hunk of junk piece of Romulan Feldercarb LoDuca rides in.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: One step at a time.  Secure our people first, then worry about finishing this.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@::jumps over to the Conn, taking control of the Hook and preparing for a maneuver that may be unexpected::

aHXO_Wells says:
@*COM*: Cherokee: This is the Hook, we are under attack. Advise you stay away.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
all: I offer a bottle of my finest Polish Vodka, if we get out alive here.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins a bit and nods. :: CO: Of course...couldn't forget about them.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Cadet, there isn't an “if” to be had.  There is no way that LoDuca is gonna put us out of the game.  Were just too darn pretty to die.

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Takes the OPS station::

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: We have power back up to 100% Captain, but will need some time to get the hull fixed. Don't want to risk the lives of my Engineers.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Well sir, I will find the right track, but I am offering the bottle anyway.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Hook:  Understood.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@Computer: Open channel to that ship. ::maneuvers away from the vessel:: COM: Romulan vessel: I know it's you LoDuca. This time things will be different.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CIV*: OK, secure the integrity as best you can.  And as a warning, we're expecting this to be a hostile encounter at the end of the chase.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: starts tying in his console with the Science Department's scanner controls, trying to extend the reach of his tactical scanners to get a better read on the Hook. ::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Captain, the Hook just came through and said that they are under attack and that we are to stay away.

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: Tio, is this the famous LoDuca you've mentioned in the past?

Host SM-Trish says:
::not good, then closes her eyes::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Under attack?  Let them know we cannot comply, we'll be in position as quickly as can be.  And tell them to hold on.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, recommend we help him out.  I got a bad feeling who just showed up and you know how Trent gets when were dealing with that whacko.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Appears to be, we'll find out soon.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  I thought you would say that.  ::smiles::

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: Then knowing that unless you need me to help with command level stuff I'll head for sickbay.

Host LoDuca says:
%aCO:  Well, well, well... as I live and breathe, if it isn't my old buddy!

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Hook:  This is the Cherokee, we cannot comply with your last communication.  We will be there shortly.  Cherokee out.

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Hears LoDuca himself::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: begins to prep the ship for some intensive combat situations. ::

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: Understood, we have the hull pretty much secure enough to withstand some damage, but wouldn't push it.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: can't help himself as he starts to hum "Ride of the Valkyrie" to himself. ::

CMO_McDonald says:
:: locks the station he was just using and goes to leave the bridge ::

Host LoDuca says:
%COM: aCO:  It has been a while Trent.  Ready to play?

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: Captain, the Cherokee refuses to stay away and report we should expect their arrival shortly.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: LoDuca: Why are you here Paul? I thought I had to find you?

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: I have maneuvered the Cherokee so, that we have good Angle of Attack sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Make it happen, and get ready for as many scenarios as possible.  We're looking to deal with a ship many times larger than our own.

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: Understood.  I'll get sickbay set up and then get ready to come back up here if I'm needed. My staff can handle things down there.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Keep us at a good speed.  That Warbird outguns us, but she can't out fly us.  Lets use that to our advantage!

CMO_McDonald says:
:: bolts from the bridge :: TL: Sickbay.

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Is there in case Worthington needs emotional support as well as technical::

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Speed is good at warp 8, but I am not sure if I can stretch it a bit more.

Host LoDuca says:
%COM: aHCO:  I am surprised to see you.  All this time, I thought one little ship wouldn't be missed.  You know you are no match for me.  Your weapons are pitiful.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, once we get in communication range, permission to contact the enemy vessel.  I think I might be able to get his goat, maybe take LoDelaware off his game a bit.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: Feel free, I look forward to it.  Second you get a firing solution, I want a full spread fired.  I don't care if it misses, I want to draw fire from the Medical ship.

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
Engineering: Ok guys and gals, we have to hold out a little longer before we can get to repairing the hull. And if what the Captain tells me holds true, the hull may be in store for some more damage. So I want all of you to work as fast as you can while staying safe.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: after a short ride Lennier arrives at sickbay :: ALL: Okay Listen up. We're going into battle here. Our friend LoDuca has shown up. Get everything ready and transform Cargo bays 1 and 2 into secondary sickbays and triage centers.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Oh, that I got covered.  I even have Miller and Kilbrowski in the shuttle bay.  Waiting to chuck the kitchen sink out at him.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Cook's a bit ticked we took the sink though.  Might have to talk to him about that.  :: grins ::

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: Should I inform the Cherokee of what and who we have encountered, Sir?

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: LoDuca: True, this ship is no match for you. But I am, and if you want to take your place in history you will have to defeat me one on one, Paul. No tricks, straight up. ::having opened distance between the two vessels now he begins to maneuver back towards LoDuca.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: He can always Replicate a new one, or get one from ship stores.  But I think the deep fryers would be more effective than the sink.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
::Steering the ship, right on target at warp 8. Stretching speed slowly beyond warp 8. Fingers at the console, a split second away from engaging evasive maneuvers, just in case::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Kyleigh, as soon as were in range, open a frequency to the enemy vessel.  Time to give our good friend of good old fashioned Hazzard Banter.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: After a short while sickbay and both cargo bays are set up and ready for action :: *CO* Sickbay is all set to go. I've also converted cargo bays 1 and 2 into secondary sickbays and triage.

aHXO_Wells says:
@:: not sure why Worthington asked Cherokee to stay away, seems like we could use the extra fire power::

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: I have stretched the speed to warp 8.15 sir. We are right on target.

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
Engineering: Also I want everyone to know, you are doing a fine job, now keep it up, the rest of the crew, especially the Captain is counting on us to be at our best. So let's show them that we are the best department on this ship!

OPS_Nash says:
aXO:  Sure.  ::prepares to do as she is asked::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Very good, we're closing at best possible speed.

Host LoDuca says:
% COM: aCO:  Oh please Trent.  You are no match for me physically or mentally.  You are just as pathetic as your father.

CMO_McDonald says:
*CO* I’m at your disposal. I'll stay here and coordinate here until you need me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Push the engines, all the way to Warp 9.75.  They can take it, even after the mine encounter.

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Decides Captain Ayidee needs to know::

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Aye, Aye sir.  Pushing a bit further.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: LoDuca: Then how competent can you be?  Seeing that I bested you on both accounts as a child! ::begins to move closer to LoDuca, preparing a little surprise::

Host LoDuca says:
%COM: aCO:  Bested me?  :;begins to laugh::  You have got to be kidding!  You are still a little robot!

aHXO_Wells says:
@COM: Cherokee: We have encountered a decloaked Romulan Warbird.  Captain Worthington is in communication with its CO, Paul LoDuca.

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: For the time being Captain, this is all you are going to get in terms of speed. Will try and get you more, if we can.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
::Tweaking a bit on the console, with the left hand, right hand on the evasive buttons. Warp speed slowly increasing.... warp 8.5....8.6...9.0...9.3...9.6...9.7...9.75:: aXO: Warp9.75 reached sir. Angle of attack is still good.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CIV*: We'll take what we can get.  We're pushing the engines to the limit, let me know if they're not up to the task.  I know we were prepared for tours, not racing.

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  The Cherokee begins to lose power and drops back to warp 8.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: LoDuca: I wish I could have seen your face when you realized I left you with the Romulans. ::laughs::

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO:: We are closing in.... drat, what is that again? Warp 8? We dropped to warp 8 sir.

CIV_MacPherson-Quest says:
*CO*: With me in control, you can rest assured that you will get the "extra" push you need to get the job done.

OPS_Nash says:
::hears the name LoDuca and shudders::  CO:  Captain,Commander Worthington is facing .... LoDuca.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: growls as he sees the speed of the ship drop. :: FCO: Do what you can, cadet.

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Isn't sure what to make of this battle of wits between the two adversaries.  Awaiting instructions::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CIV*: I'm certain we'll get it.  Self: Just wish the ship was set up for flight instead of entertainment.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Yes sir, of course sir.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain, recommend diverting non essential power to engineering and weapons for the time being.  Might give us the extra oomph we need to put a crimp in LoDipstick's game plan.

Host LoDuca says:
%COM: aCO:  And you think they could hold ME?  No one can even touch me!  Not you or your pitiful Starfleet.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@::closes the distance between the two vessels, preparing to ram LoDuca:: aHXO: Things are going to get messy. You may want to hold on to something. Just remember it has been an honor serving with you.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Also, we could seal off the compartments affected by the hull breaches and shut life support off in those compartments, would save us the energy needed to maintain the fields containing the atmosphere there.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Sir, we are loosing power. Big power drain. I am not sure what the cause is, but I cannot keep the high speed.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Let them know we figured as much, and will arrive as quickly as we can.  If Oromë smiles on us, maybe we can get there in time.

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Definitely feels caught in the middle of something here::

Host LoDuca says:
%::his eyes get wide as he realizes the Hook has closed in on his ship::

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: Sir, are you sure you are okay to deal with this, solo?  Sir, I advise we pull back and wait for backup!

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: LoDuca: You are such a little child, always crying like a baby. Does baby need his bottle? Here is something for you Paul. See you in hell. ::engages full impulse right at the bridge of the Warbird::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Seal off the sections as Commander Hazzard suggested, and push everything we have to the Engines.  We'll make up for it with the weapons when we're a bit closer.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Captain.

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  The Hook comes within sensor range.  They also detect LoDuca’s ship in very close proximity to the Hook.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: looks at the tactical screen and shudders. :: Self: Oh you have GOT to be kidding me.

OPS_Nash says:
COM:  Hook:  We anticipated as much and we are on our way.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: heads back to the bridge and walks on after a short transit ::heads for science 1 again and logs back in ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: Angle the deflectors, see if you can reinforce the Warp bubble with them.  I know it's rough, but it might help.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Captain....The XO is using the  Hook as a big torpedo, he's gonna ram the Warbird!

Host LoDuca says:
%::running from the bridge, he makes his way quickly to his other ship::

CMO_McDonald says:
:: Looks with sheer shock at what the sensors are showing him ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: I guess that's why they wanted us to stay away.  
*All*: All stations, cut power so we can divert to engines.  And hold tight.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Are we in communication range with the Warbird yet?

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@aXO: We are going to kill him while we have the chance! Brace for impact!

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: Tio, uhm someone may want to get a lock on those two if I’m seeing what I think I am on sensors.

OPS_Nash says:
::seals off the sections of the ship as Cmdr Hazzard suggested so more power can be used where it counts.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Push all power to the Engines, including 25% of IDF power.  We can take a little g Force.

aHXO_Wells says:
@Self: Oh bother! aCO: Sir, Do you think that wise?

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  The collision with the Warbird is imminent.  There will be no escape for the Hook.

OPS_Nash says:
aXO:  Stand by.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: spins about and tries to get a lock on the XO and CNS ::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: sees this and immediately gets the transporters ready to pull the XO and the CNS off the Hook. :: CO: Captain, using the ship's scanners to locate the XO and Counselor, we need to get them off that ship now!

OPS_Nash says:
::she pushes all the power she can muster in the engines.::

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Braces himself, even though he knows he's gonna die anyway::

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
Self: Ut oh, that is going wrong over there. Drat, I need more power, so I can catch up speed again. Perhaps a slingshot around that part of debris...?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: Lock onto all life signs.  We don't know who's who on the Hook, so just grab all you can find.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Acknowledged, transporting all life signs aboard as soon as possible.

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: Had I known this was a suicide mission I'd....

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: No alteration, full speed for the Hook.

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  On the other side of LoDuca's ship, another ship emerges from their flight bay undetected by the Cherokee.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: Give me more power and I will return that with more speed sir. We are still at Warp 8.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: I was wondering if I could speed up, by using a slingshot on that big chunk of debris over there on the right?

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Sees another ship on sensors:: aCO: Sir, a second ship has appeared in back of LoDuca's ship.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: waiting for a lock on all life signs on board the Hook, ready to beam them aboard as soon as he has it. ::

CMO_McDonald says:
::Stands back and just watches Hazzard work ::

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
::Closing in on the Hook::

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  The CTO doesn't have time to pull the crew out.  The Warbird is hit, and an explosion rocks the Cherokee.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Hook has impacted on the Warbird!

CMO_McDonald says:
:: cringes at the sight :: AXO: See if you can lock onto any survivors. and transport to Sickbay and cargo bays 1 and 2

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
Self: Geez, if you waited a few seconds Hook, I would have caught you.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Break us off, put the keel towards the explosion.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: spins and bolts for the TL :: TL: Sickbay!

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CMO: I'm doing what I can.  High speed transport is not exactly a specialty of mine, especially if I gotta time it with bringing the shields back up so that Warbird doesn't make itty bitty Cherokee meatballs out of us.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: Full sensor scan, find ANY vessel that might be an escape pod or escape ship.

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  Pods from the Warbird can be seen.  Not many made it out.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
:: Cherokee is rolling on the explosion. The FCO steers the ship so, that the keel is directed towards the explosion:: aXO: Ship is turned as you wished

CMO_McDonald says:
:: arrives in sickbay and alerts all the medical staff and recalls all cross trained personnel ::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: directs the scanners to sweep the area surrounding the collision within range for any other ships within the area, knowing that their quarry would not remain on the Warbird after that. ::

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  Medical staff begin pouring into sickbay.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: You got it, sir!

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Full stop, bring us within 100,000 km.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I'm reading about 16 escape pods in all.  Continuing the search of any other vessels.

CMO_McDonald says:
ALL :Okay you've probably heard by now. The Hook rammed the Warbird. we're awaiting any survivors. Everyone knows what to do. Cargo bays one and two have been converted. Get to work folks!

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  A few weak life signs are detected on the Warbird.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
::Heard the words and started to stop:: CO: Yes sir, full stop, and we will close into 100.000km within a few minutes sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Get word to Starfleet, we may need rescue personnel and an accident investigation team on the double.

CMO_McDonald says:
*CO* Everyone’s ready down here.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: I'm picking up some life signs on board the Warbird, request permission to beam them aboard and into the brig!

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: In range sir.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
FCO: Great! :: Immediately begins to scan the Hook for any signs of survivors on board. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: Prepare a boarding team.  As soon as we can guarantee the ship isn't going to implode, send a team over.  For now, beam them to a secure location.  Brig for starters.

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Acknowledged.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Beaming survivors into the brig and having Medical sending a team to meet them to deal with wounded.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: We'll be having wounded persons coming aboard momentarily.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: also sets the scanners to locate any survivors off the Hook to beamdirectly to sickbay. ::

CMO_McDonald says:
*CO* Understood.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
::Picking up a handkerchief, and started to sweep away all the sweat on the forehead:: Self: Pfui [expression], what a flight.

OPS_Nash says:
::she contacts Starfleet to notify that rescue personnel is in extreme need as well as an accident investigation crew is in need ASAP, as she briefly explains the situation at hand.::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: We're not finished here, Cadet.  Keep sharp, now isn't the time to slip.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: bangs his console with his fist, not finding anything. :: CO: Captain, I can't pick up any survivors from the Hook.  Nothing...

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: begins to check the escape pods, checking for the life signs of the XO or CNS,  not giving up for one minute. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: Acknowledged.  There's still survivors out there.  We'll...deal with the situation when the area's secure.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
CO: Uhm? Oh yes uhm, a sir, I am not wondering off, just fixing myself sir.

Host LoDuca says:
ACTION:  The CTO begins beaming survivors aboard the Cherokee.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: starts seeing people materialize in sickbay and goes to work with the rest of the doctors :: Doesn't see the XO and CNS among the survivors so far ::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: continues to search the area of space surrounding the collision, looking for ANY sign of the XO or CNS, not wanting to face the building possibility that they did not make it off the Hook. ::

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
::Thinking about the bottle Vodka in his pocket. The intention is big, but the brains won. No alcohol behind the console::

Host LoDuca says:
%::watches his sensors as he departs the area.  He knows he will meet Trent again, IF he survived::

OPS_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir

CMO_McDonald says:
:: looks at all the wounded and dead in his sickbay ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, LoDuca is not on that ship, but I still sense him.  He is out there somewhere.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
Adm: Can you get an idea of direction?  Range?  Anything?  :: sounds far past angry.::

CMO_McDonald says:
:: shakes head :: Self: No Trent or Gary.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: While I'd love to give chase, we still have a task to do here.  Duty is what makes us who we are.

CMO_McDonald says:
*CO* I hate to be the bearer of bad news. All but 10 of the survivors have died. and No Trent or Gary. I am listing the MIA and presumed dead.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
aXO:  No Mark, sorry, I can't tell what direction, only that he is alive.  And I must say, he is a gloating ::mumbles the next word::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*CMO*: Understood, do what you can for the survivors.

CMO_McDonald says:
*CO* Understood. Mostly minor plasma burns which can be healed easily.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Duty be cursed, sir.  That jackalope can't be allowed to get away with this!

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The pods in the cargo bays are being unloaded.  Security has them well in hand.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Open a frequency, open space for as far as you can go.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: sits in his office writing up all the death certificates :: After awhile he gets to his former colleagues certificates, but can't seem to write them ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: We have a job to do.  And even if we didn't, what do you propose to do?

CMO_McDonald says:
:: finally writes them up :: grabbing the stack he signs them all but takes 2 off the top and heads for the bridge ::

OPS_Nash says:
::opens a wide frequency::  aXO:  All yours.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: Cherokee: Are you tracking the second Romulan vessel?

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  LoDuca has left.  If the Cherokee is lucky, very lucky, a warp trail MIGHT be found.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: after a short but somber trip he arrives on the bridge :: Seeing the CO still in the command chair Lennier walks down :: CO: All the certificates are done I thought you may want a copy of these two. Trent’s and Gary's.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: Open Space:  LoDuca you miserable piece of... :: stops as he hears the XO's voice. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Hold onto them for now, we're not finished here.

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: I will. I will also leave sickbay open for anyone wanting to come talk. I did a small stint as a Counselor.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
aXO: What now sir? Wait here?

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
OPS: Track that broadcast, get me a position on the XO NOW!

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: That was a little too close, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: And put them on screen, or on speakers if there's no video.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: hears the voice but doesn't register it.  Opens his mind up ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The Hook is dead in space.  With the aHCO’s little warp jump maneuver, warp engines died.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: XO: Trent, what’s your position?  We can't read you on our tactical scanners.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@aHXO: Sorry Garry, I had to act quickly. I did burn out the warp core though so we aren't going anywhere soon. Let's hope LoDuca thinks we are still dead.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
COM: aHCO: Commander, good to hear your voice.  Where are you, and what Romulan ship are you referring to?  We haven't seen sign of it yet.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: drops the two PADDs containing the death Certificates of Trent and Gary ::

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: Cherokee: Sending you our coordinates now. Looks like we are going to need a tow.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~CMO:  Thank god we don't need those Lennier.~~~

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: aHCO: Commander, permission to speak frankly?

aHXO_Wells says:
@aHCO: Dead is good. But, I gotta ask, Sir. Are you sure you are okay? That was kinda a crazy thing for you to do back there. I think I may need a new uniform.

CMO_McDonald says:
~~~ADM: I agree. Remind me to give Trent a good talking to when he gets back~~~

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: CO: We tracked a second ship as we jumped past the Romulan vessel, probably LoDuca's flagship, the Reman Warbird.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Second we get those coordinates, move us to their location.
aXO: Leave a beacon warning anyone off from this ship until investigation has had a chance to be run.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~CMO:  Stand in line.~~~ ::she grins::

CMO_McDonald says:
:~~~ADM: Yes I'll let you go first.~~~ :: Smiles back ::

CMO_McDonald says:
:: grabs the PADDS :: CO: Guess we won't be needing these then.

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
CO: Yes sir. I am in standby mode.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Setting up the beacon now, sir. :: taps a few buttons to arrange the beacon message as the CO asked. ::

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@aHXO: Sorry, didn't have time to fully articulate the plan, just kinda came up with it as a last ditch effort. Too bad I can't use it again now. ::smiles::

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Running diagnostics to check ship's systems::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: aHCO: Commander, if you EVER pull a stunt like this again I'm going to personally make every security evaluation exam you take seem like heck unleashed!  You scared three years off my life!

aHXO_Wells says:
@aHCO: I was nearly ready to prescribe a rubber room for you, Sir. I may still. ::Smiles and works at his console::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
::tries not to laugh, but the mental picture gets the best of her::

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@COM: aXO: Sorry, your message is breaking up. I think the COM system is overloaded.

CMO_McDonald says:
~~~ADM: Remind me to give both them a full psych evaluation. and recommend they get committed for awhile after pulling that stunt~~~

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: takes a big giant breath of relief as he leans against his tactical console. :: CO: I hate that man sir.  I really do.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
CO:  Tio, I wonder where the Reman Warbird is?  That wasn't it, even ramming her wouldn't have done that kind of damage.

aHXO_Wells says:
@::Can't help but laugh at aCO response, or lack of, to Mark::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: If that were the case, focus wouldn't have been the problem it was.

CMO_McDonald says:
:: Looks to the CTO: AXO: And I'm starting to!

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
:: grins. :: CMO: Hey, when was the last time the XO had his annual physical?

CMO_McDonald says:
AXO: Not since I've been on board

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@aXO: As first commands go, I think this went pretty well. ::starts laughing::

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CMO: Do me a favor, make sure the instruments you use are cold.  Arctic cold.

Host Adm-Alexander says:
ACTION:  The coordinates to the Hook come into OPS.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
Adm: Not much we can do about finding out.  Not until we at least have a bit of backup.

CMO_McDonald says:
AXO: Oh Don't worry they will be. Plus they may be in for a little more of a surprise than that!

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: Sir, the only thing working on this ship is life support. I don’t even think we could get a decent cup of coffee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
FCO: Bring us in to their location.  Let's at least secure our people.

Host aHCO_Worthington says:
@aXO: I hope Starfleet doesn't send me a bill.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
COM: aHCO: Commander...see if you can get a copy of the ship's record from the computer.  I think it might be in our best interests to find out what LoDeadman wanted with the Hook in the first place.

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: Permission to be in the transporter room when they get here? I wanna give them a good lecture!

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
CO: Aye aye sir.  Cherokee is closing in.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: They'll be coming to Sickbay, but lecture for what?  They did what needed to be done in a very unusual situation.

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: I know I'll remember this trip for a long time ::Laughs too:: aCO: At least it served to remind our crew how much they love us and would miss us.

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: No reason to tell them that, sir.

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: For scaring us all half to death! and me having to write up their bloody death certificates!

FCO_Cdt_Zdunovski says:
CO: In range sir.

CMO_McDonald says:
CO: I'll make my adieu to sickbay then. :: turns and heads for the Turbolift ::

Host Adm-Alexander says:
~~~aCO:  Be warned Trent, you have some folks that are very unhappy over here with what you did.  I am number one.~~~

aXO_Lt_Cmdr_Hazzard says:
CO: Sir, isn't Starfleet going to be mad that the Hook was busted up?  I  mean Trent was the CO at the time so I guess they would send the bill to him, right?
:: grins and crosses his arms over his chest. ::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aXO: Ship's intact, better than it should be with what happened.

aHCO_Worthington says:
@aXO: I wonder what those guys in the brig are thinking about now? At least Hazzard will get to interrogate some more people, he loves those.

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: It was kinda cool though. I finally got to meet LoDuca. At least now I know he ain't a figment of your imagination. Too bad we couldn't have nailed him.

aHXO_Wells says:
@aCO: Yeah let him yell at the prisoners, not us.
