Ship's Log, Stardate 11303.24, Captain Ayidee recording.  
Time is running out.  The Achilles is still on a collision course for Betazed, but our efforts have slowed them up considerably.  I am confident that we can stop them in time, but the question remains how many of the actual crew we can save.  Not to mention how much Intel we can grab.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Action: The USS Achillies is 1 hour from impact. Impulse engine on the main drive section running past specs on it to keep it on course.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Practically slams her hands down on the console:: CO: I'm out of ideas, cap'n. That EMP pulse was the last of 'em.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::On Bridge.::  CMO: Doctor, would it be possible to set up a Holoemiter in a shuttle for a kind of "remote operating room"?  A way to preform a surgical investigation of a stasis contained Vroa?
CTO: Keep working on the shields around Achilles Engineering.  If we can bring them down we have a partial out.
OPS: Contact Captain Priam, have him get all his crew to the saucer section.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Receives a message the Broadside has arrived:: 
COM: Broadside OPS: Please, keep transporter distance from Achilles as instructed.  Stand by and keep your toes crossed.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: I'm not sure...from a medical standpoint, I suppose it's possible. Especially if we aren't concerned with preserving it's life. Mechanically possible, I've no idea. We never had Holodecks on any of my ships years ago. We were a little busy at the time.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#<Broadside OPS>: COM: Cherokee CNS: Understood.  Standing by, Cherokee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: It's worth a shot.  If it fails all we loose is a shuttle.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: The USS Broadside is in place, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Shrugs:: CO: I could do the surgery itself, but asking me to set it up is a little out of my depth, sir.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Keller*: Ensign, I need a job done quick.  I need a Holoemiter set up in one of our shuttles along with a portable stasis field.

Host EO_Keller says:
*CO* Aye sir, take about 20 minutes to set it up.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Understood, I want to get a few answers on little things like "how can we detect them in altered DNA form".  Has to be a way.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Priam:  Please get your crew to the saucer section.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Keller*: Understood, make it happen ASAP.  If this works we'll need to try it fast.

Host CO_Priam says:
@COM:OPS: Already ahead of you. Most everyone has been moved away from enginneeering, should anyother 10 to 15 minutes and it will be clear.  Thank goodness we still have turbo lifts working.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: I can look, for sure, but look how long it took Starfleet to discover quantum signatures. ::Stands:: *MO Rhapsody*: We're doing a special holo surgury. Find me a medic that isn't locked down by the quarantine and send them to me.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Priam:  Understood. Stand by.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<MO Rhapsody> *CMO*: Aye, ma'am.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: If it fails, then that's life.  But we're crippled by our lack of workable Intel.  If we can stop this ship AND learn something about them?  Then a good day could turn into a day for the history books.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  They are already moving to the Saucer Section.  They need another 10 to 15 minutes before they are completely moved.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Excellent.  That gives us...what, half an hour leeway if the Vroa keep to their current tasks?

Action: A vessel decloaks and fires on the Broadside, causing it to lose impulse and stop.  The attacking ship recloaks.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Sir, someone just hit the Broadside.  Why?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Shrugs:: CO: I notice that history tends to forget the little things. Especially if this war continues as long as the Cardassian war.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Looks up at the view screen:: CO: Looks like we have company.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
COM: Broadside OPS: Do you need asistance?  Damage report, when convenient.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Cutting it close is what we strive for, isn't it, Captain?  ::smirks::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: That should be a bigger suprise than it was.  And it gives them an out.
CNS: Have the Broadside use thrusters to make best possible speed for Starbase 33.  Hopefully they won't be pursued.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CO: Just would like to point out that if we send out a shuttle and put a Vroa on it, they might just blast it to prevent our research.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#<Broadside OPS>: COM: Cherokee CNS: Our impulse drive is damaged.  We might not be going anywhere for a while.  Other than that, no injuries.  We have a skeleton crew, to leave room for the evacuees to be housed safely.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::sighs and rubs her temples:: Self:: Think, think, think...

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO: Again, as long as it's unmanned the loss of a shuttle is an acceptable loss if we get some answers.
OPS: Cargo Transporters are still in proper working order, correct?

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
COM: Broadside OPS: Return to Starbase 33 at best speed, Broadside.  Thanks anyway.

Host CO_Priam says:
@COM:OPS: All crew are on the saucer section now.  Whatever you got planned, we don't have much time left.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Unless someone on my staff has been lying to me, the Cargo Transporters are working properly.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
#<Broadside OPS>: COM: Cherokee CNS: Understood, Cherokee.  Sorry we couldn't be of service, they came out of no where.  Broadside, out.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Priam:  Understood.  We are about to take action to get you out of there.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: That su...  That's sure too bad, Sir.  Can we get a replacerment here in time?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Good, prepare transporters to beam a shuttle clear of the damaged shuttle bays.  Have Captain Priam attempt a manual saucer seperation.  We will try to force one from this side...if we can.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The Achilles crew are fully ready for what we have in store for their, for lack of a better word, rescue.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CNS: We will adapt.  If we can get the Achilles saucer seperated, the replacement is already here.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: Then the cargo ship wasn't needed anyway?  Okay, that's good, I guess.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Keep on the Engineering shields.   ::Opens console to tap into Tractor controls, locking onto the Achilles's Saucer, then lock Transporters onto connect hard points.::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
COM:  Priam:  I understand you mentioned that you already attempted to do a manual saucer separation, but please attempt another one as we try to force one from our vantage point.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<Medic Levinson> ::Steps onto the bridge and walks over to the CMO:: CMO: Holo surgery huh? Sounds fun to me.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CMO/ CNS: Turn your attention to the Sensors.  Active scans of the Vroa in Engineering.  Not the same as a face to face, but we need all we can get.

Host CO_Priam says:
@COM:OPS: We have been working on it. We have a way, but it is going to take longer time then we have.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Goes to an unmanned science station to better monitor scan data on the Achilles::
CO: Aye, Sir.

Action; Some of the hard connects have been released between the saucer and drive section of the Achillies.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Walks over to join the CNS and watches the data with him::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Monitors movement, vital statistics and bio rythums of those in Engineering on the Achilles.  Has the CMO watching the same monitors::  CMO: Hi.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Nods in reply before pointing at the screen:: CNS: I can't really see anything that is immediately different from normal humans. Perhaps a little quicker heart rhythm than normal, but stress can easily cause that...

Host JonB says:
<TO> ::As the CTO is concentrating on the shots he is making  he shows the TO::  CO: Captain, a few more minutes hopefully we'll have the shielding down.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I'm not an expert with sensors, but it might be more helpful if we could scan their neural brainwave patterns and chemical secretion levels too.  See how they react to one another or stress or even if they have sexual feelings or other humanoid emotions that can be measured and studied.  Am I rambling?  Sometimes I ramble.

Host EO_Keller says:
*CO* The shuttle is ready.  How you going to get it out of here?  The doors are still out, unless you blown them.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: That's good news.
*Keller*: The Transporters.  Beam the entire shuttle out and establish remote control.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
CNS: I like that idea. Would sensors be able to pick up that information though?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Keller*: Get your crew clear of the shuttle and we'll beam it out.

Action: Everyone in the main shuttlebay is cleared out.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CMO: I don't know. Like I said, I'm not well versed with sensors, I hear that word modified when stuff needs done.  Can we modify something?  We need a science officer or something.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Beam the shuttle clear of the ship.
CMO: Doctor, your operating room is set up, if we can get a patient.  Just need a surgeon in Holodeck 1.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Grabs Medic Levinson and heads to the TL:: CO: We'll be in the holodeck trying to cut open an alien.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
::beams the shuttle off the ship.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Watches CMO go.  Is left alone, a boy and his sensors::  CMO: Bye.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Done.

Action:The Shuttle is transported to beside the Cherokee and begins to keep pace .

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Once those shields are down lock Transporter on one of the Vroa and beam them into stasis.
OPS: Make sure one of the Transporters is clear for Tactical's use.  We won't get a 2nd chance at this, want as few steps as possible in line.
TO: And extend shields around the shuttle until the Vroa is beamed aboard.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  It's theirs, Captain.

Host JonB says:
<TO> CO: Aye sir.   And shields just dropped, transporting now.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Spends his time trying to configure sensors to do what he wants them to do, brain scans.  Muuuaaaahhhhh!!!!::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Quickly rushes down to Holodeck 1::

Action: The shield around the Achilles engineering section has dropped and the Achilles EO is transported to the shuttle.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Grab one then and beam it to the shuttle under stasis.  The other 2 beam to maximum range we can get from any ship.  Then beam out Engine parts.  Let's stop this ship.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Gets down to the holodeck out of breath and waits for the program to transmit from the shuttle::

Action: The Achilles EO is Transported to the shuttle and appears in stasis.  He is touching his left wrist. The other 3 are transported out to deep space away from anything.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: If the Doctor would place a Neural Transmitter on her patient’s cranium somewhere out of her way, I could collect a multitude of data, seeing as how we caught one of the bast... bad guys.

Action: The Shuttle’s owns shields are raised and it moves off, keeping a data lock to the holodeck with the Cherokee.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: Work with the Achilles, beam the locks apart connecting the saucer and the engineering section.  If the Vroa left any traps I'd rather get the Achilles crew safe and let the trap blow itself off away from anyone.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.

Action: The Achillies is approaching the outer edge of Betazed orbit and is closing fast.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Steps into the holodeck:: Medic Levinson: Get this all recorded. ::Rushes over and starts going over cursory inspection before picking up her tricorder and scanning::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
TO: Can you get enough chunks of the engine clear to stop the ship?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<Medic Levinson> ::Finishes with the equipment:: CMO: Alright, it's all online. So if we mess up, it's all recorded.

Host JonB says:
<TO> CO: working on it.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Get us in front of the Achilles, they can't get a clear shot.

Action: The Achilles losses impulse drive, The engine shuts down, but it's momentum and the planet’s gravity still has it coming in fast. 9 minutes until impact.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Frowns as she sees that a chemical reaction has started in his bloodstream and tries to hone in on what's happening::

Host JonB says:
<AFCO> CO: Aye sir. moving to in front.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
::Removes Tractor from Saucer section and pushes the Achilles away from the planet.::
OPS: Stop the Transporting of parts.  If they seperate now, the saucer would replace the entire ship as the weapon, and we need our remaining Tractor to stop that ship.

Action: The Achilles Saucer has been set loose, the only thing holding it together are the main struts.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<Medic Levinson> ::Gets ready to assist when CMO is ready to do invasive surgury::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CMO*: Can you get a neural transmitter onto your patient?  I could do the rest from here, once you link me up.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  ::stops the transporting of parts.::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<Medic Levinson> ::Hears the CNS's request and quickly moves to assist:: *CNS*: That good? ::Puts the transmitter on the patient's forehead::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: All available power to shields, tractors, and Impulse Drive.
aFCO: Minimize the impact but we're going to use the Cherokee to push that ship back away.  Full power to engines, perpendicular to the planet.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
*MO*: Thanks, I got it.  ::Starts to input settings and collecting data on the neural make up of a Vroan brain::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  ::allocates all available power to shields, tractors and Impulse Drive.::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Looks up at the readings:: Medic: We're losing him. ::Tosses the tricorder and grabs a stimulant to try and counteract the chemical::

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<Medic Levinson> ::Take a sample of blood to indentify the chemical later.::

Action: The Cherokee moves closer to the Achillies, then touches together and pushes.  The saucer section of the Achilles is ripped away from its drive section and the drive section tears loose heading toward the planet while the saucer section is pushed clear. Damage to both ship’s is extensive.

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Begins to make up a psychological profile study blueprint to map out the Vroan psyche.  Wonders if he can find a way to detect a Vroa when altered by studying brain waves and chemical responces.  Who knows?  If a Vroa caught can feal fear, it might lead to its downfall.  Wally is seeing his face on the cover of Starfleet Psychology Monthly::

Host CO_Ayidee says:
CTO: Break that ship up, then use Tractor to grab any piece you can get a lock on.
OPS: Lock Transporters on any pieces of the Drive section you can and get them clear of the planet, reconstituting them to alter their momentum away from the planet.

Action: Phasers and a photon fire on the Achillies drive section, blowing it up.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
::Frowns:: Outloud: This just decomposes the body. This isn't a bomb...It's like a felodesine chip.  :: Turns:: 
Levinson: Get me a sample of everything. Tissue, all fluids. Biopsy this vroa. I need to look into the DNA. ::Takes out her tricorder and adjusts it to fit her needs::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Stops receiving data::

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.  ::locks on to all pieces from the Drive Section as she could and beams them clear from the planet.::

CNS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Will begin to analze data and organize information, psychologically speaking::

Action: Large pieces of the drive section are beamed away.  The smaller fall into the atmosphere to break apart harmlessly.  A few pieces make it through but nothing damageing tothe planet surface population.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
Medic: There's got to be something that is different...are we sure this is a vroa?

Host CO_Ayidee says:
*Keller*: When you get a minute, damage report.
OPS: Impact report from the planet.  Did we stop the Prophecy?

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
<Medic Levinson> CMO: I would only assume so. We got him from engineering over there.

Action: The Achilles’s saucer is drifting. The nose of both ships are crushed in with the front parts of each saucer so smashed they are nearly missing.

OPS_Cmdr_Nash says:
CO:  The larger pieces were safely removed from the equation and smaller pieces impacted with minimal damage and away from major cities,

Host CO_Ayidee says:
OPS: That is a relief.

CMO_Lt_Talora says:
Medic: This better be a vroa. I'm not tearing apart a human being just to see things I've seen all my life. ::Folds her arms:: This better turn out to be useful.

Host CO_Ayidee says:
aFCO: Get us back to Starbase 33, grabbing the Achilles saucer on the way.  This part is over, but there's still a war out there.
