CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::in Sickbay, performing the last necessary scans on the Captain::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: in quarters sitting in quiet contemplation on her bed ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::looks up to the CMO...the pain in his back gone...and a feeling of readiness creeping over him::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::feels tired, it's been a long day... too long for her taste, at least when it's not just a party. The crew should have one of those some time... to bond and stuff. Or just to get drunk in a friendly environment::

ACTION: The three enemy ships regroup at the edge of sensors and appear to have repaired themselves.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: On the bridge, standing behind the captains chair, watching the view screen, waiting for the next step in the dance.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::closes her tricorder and puts the peripheral away:: CO: So... will you try to stay out of Sickbay for a reasonable amount of time, sir?
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: I will try...but no promises...
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: stands slowly to her feet turning sideways to the full length mirror, and looking at her reflection ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CMO*:  Twin... tell me some good news please?
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: Oh could you pencil in some minor trama later?  ::grins::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::sits at the conn awaiting orders::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: tosses her mane over her shoulder and turns slowly toward the door, not sure she wants to return to the bridge ::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CSO: My sensors show the enemy ships have regrouped and done some repairs.  However, they are not advancing as of yet.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::smirks and shakes her head:: *CSO* The Captain is on his way to the bridge. ::turns to Taylor:: CO: Yes, that's you. I'll keep your biobed ready and waiting for watever you pick from the menu next time..
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
FCO:  Aye... and we are not either just yet.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CMO*:  Ah my sister... dinner is on me.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: folds her hand tightly behind her back wincing slightly and plods off through the door to the lift ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
FCO:  Maybe our captain has something in mind.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CSO: I could slave tactical to my station, you know....::grins::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks around. Everything seems well under control. Signals to Izar and T'ail and then follows the Captain:: *CSO*: I think dinner was a couple of hours ago, but you're on.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: Hopefully not the salmon...::grins again::...off to the bridge then...::gets off the biobed and walks toward a changing room to get clothed...exits and heads to the lift::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: exits the lift to the bridge without saying a word stands in the middle of the command deck ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
*CMO*:  Dinner has a specific time?  Since when?  :: smiles as she takes an engineering report and reads through it.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: Wait for me... ::follows him out of Sickbay, and catches up with him when he enters the lift::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::turns at the sound of the turbo lift doors and sees Chaser just standing there::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
OPS: Uh? Commander? You OK?
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: Come on then....::sees her enter as the door shuts::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: Nods to the FCO:: FCO: Car-ry on.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::taps badge:: *CSO* It does. It's when I'm hungry. ::does not look at the CO, what a conversation for him to overhear... Eos chuckles softly::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Hands the report back and turns to see Chaser.::  OPS:  Welcome back.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
OPS:  In general, things are in order, especially with the captain returning to duty.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: looks sorrowfully at the CSO and nods ::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::turns back to his station and mumbles: Ok, I'll carry on doing nothin'...::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::grins and looks at the ceiling...thinking this ride is taking longer than usual::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::tries to offer her best "elevator stance", but she cannot stop feeling like laughing::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Frowns at Chaser's expression.::  OPS:  To let you know, the alien ships seem to have repaired themselves and are just waiting.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::decides to break the ice a bit:: CO: Next time, you can order me to take the next lift.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CSO: We'll wait for-r the Captain.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::the TL comes to a stop on the bridge::  CMO: Ah...home.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::feels like spinning the ship around on its X axis just to shake things up::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: That might be a bad idea.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::wonders if three ships is all the enemy really has::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::lift doors open and she steps out after him, raising an eyebrow:: CO: If you say so... ::motions for the center chair as she raises her voice a little bit:: All: Captain on the bridge.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Turns to look at the captain::  CO:  About time... sir.  :: Smiles.::  I give you back the bridge, whether you want it or not.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns and comes to attention since she is already standing ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Your  too kind.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
ALL: Everyone at ease and to stations.   Report.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::a step behind the Captain, she winks at her twin::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
CSO: Please r-repor-rt to the CO.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  We have three alien vessels just within sensor range that attacked us earlier.  Our ship has completed its repairs as apparently the alien ships have theirs.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::thinks: hey, I'm already at my station...::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: silently returns to her station, sliding into her seat ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks around, a lot of people are missing. She sighs inwardly and walks to Commander Chaser::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::nods to Chaser as he lets her have control of OPS once again::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Thank you.  Well it looks like we have made a few friends...and maybe these friends need to speak to the Captain.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Sir, the galaxy is still expanding, but at a very slowed rate.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::leans down to the Commander:: OPS: You should have taken a week off... but I'm zipping it. I trust you'll stay in a chair this time.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  Sir... regretably, things have not gone smoothly in the area of diplomacy... by either sides.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Understood...thank you. 
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: tries not to make eye contact with the doctor and nods :: CMO: Thank you, doctor-r.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::raises his hand::  CO: Uh, sir, I'll take over tactical if you need me to....
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: That would be great...I need sharp eyes there.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::her smile widens:: OPS: You're very welcome, ma'am. ::turns and retakes "her" station by her twin's side::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::grins widely and nearly leaps out of his chair after releasing helm control to OPS::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Smiles as her twin comes to stand by her and whispers.::  CMO:  Can we keep our captain on the bridge longer then last time?  :: smiles.::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::moves to the Tactical station and logs in::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: takes the helm with a silent sigh ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::does not laugh out loud, but looks like she'd like to::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Hmmm...well maybe we need to start working something out.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::whispers back:: CSO: I do hope so, but he's already made reservations for "some minor trauma".
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::runs a short diagnostic on tac systems::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  So far they have ignored all communication.  I am fairly certain they are recieving.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Looks at her sister and continues in a voice only she can hear.::  CMO:  Do I get to help?
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: All tactical systems are at 100% Captain.  Our CEO did a great job.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: As far as their technology, we fould little new. We do know they are able to stabilize protomatter... whereas we are good at doing the opposite.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: adjusts pitch and turns the Claymore to face the three ships, puts them on the view screen ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::lowers her voice for her twin's ears only, tongue in cheek:: CSO: You can take care of his soul. I am only interested in his body... I mean his health.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  It has been suggested that we give them a rude awakening... but there must be another way.  Earlier the idea of beaming someone aboard came up... it was kind of lost.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Looks like they need a wake up call...to answer us.  FCO:  Good to hear.  CMO: Very interesting.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: drops the Claymore's nose just a bit, making them look ominous and imposing ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Preventing a laugh, finds herself coughing rather loudly.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::eyes the Captain wonder if he finds interesting her contribution to the problem at hand or his hearing is better than she first thought... Eos decides to believe the first option::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::pats her sister's back, doing her best to look concerned::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: I would go with the beam in...either way we risk attack.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Catching her breath, she wipes away a tear with a look at her twin.::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: just doesn't feel right sitting on the bridge ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: A warning shot...might make them talk.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::while running a secondary diagnostic, accidentally hits the wrong button::

ACTION: Claymore fires a single torpedo.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Turns back, her expression once again serious.::  CO:  I am willing to give it a try.  We are at a stale mate at the moment... kind of.  We need to do something.  I really do not want to destroy life here.  There must be a compromise.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CO: What do you propose we shoot them with, Captain? ::still patting Eris' back::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: wants to scream NOOOOOOO! but remains silent ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Looks up as she hears the sound of a torpedo exiting.::  Huh?
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CMO: Maybe a phase shot...or torpedo high enough above them.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Turns toward the FCO.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::opens her eyes wide, then looks at Crashalot:: FCO: You did it before he said it... or am I the one out of synch here?
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: tracks the torpedo hoping it is no where near the enemy ships ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: quickly steps back to her sensors.::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
::looks at the FCO::  FCO: Hopefully you won't hit their ships.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CMO:  ::face is beet red::  Uh, I accidentally hit the wrong button....
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::feels terribly bad for the Ensign... and is sure her face is mirroring her feelings::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  The torpedo is heading outward.  It will miss anything in the vacinity.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Well it looked like good firing Ens...you can be glad of that.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: feels rather stiff sitting down ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CO: Good...hopefully they will see it.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:

ACTION: The three enemy ships break formation and go in different directions.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  Enemy ships have broken their formation...
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Sir, they are breaking formation.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: plots evasives and an escape vector ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::relieved for Crashalot, she returns attention to her console and resumes her work on her old protomatter research project. It should come useful some time... or not. Still...::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: The most damaged of them is headed for us a bit on the slow side, and the other two are trying to circle us fore and aft
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  If they have not repaired the damage, there is a section we might be able to work our way through.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
ALL: Evasive...I want them all taken down....and I want to get to the sphere.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Do it.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Weapons ready.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
FCO:  Same tactical measure before... hit their weak area.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:; drops the ship into a half roll going after the most damaged ship first full on front ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Fire when in range.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CSO: ::looks at the CSO blankly::  Uh...what weak spot?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::turns around and hits her forehead against the bulkhead, least she answers Crashalot herself::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Shakes head.::  FCO:  Aim toward their power generator... forward ventral section.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: The lead ship is within phaser range
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: positions the ship for maximum yeild of weapons ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Fire.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::fires phasers::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Direct hit!  minor damage
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns the ship half roll toward the next target and takes a high approach vector ::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: The other two are staying out of phaser range, still trying to flank us
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Target engines...and generators...I want them taken out.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CO: I think if we change our tactics to more agressive...maybe we can take them out.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::takes advantage of Chaser' smanuever::  CO: Firing Quantum torpedoes...
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  Or we could give them a merry chase back to where they don't want us to be.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: An even better idea.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Another hit!  I'm showing major damage to thier hull, they are retreating
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Good..keep up the good aim.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Looks over at her sister, meeting her eyes.::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: immediately goes back to the damaged ship after a hard drop and comes up under and aft, firing angle maximized ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::stays silent as she really does not like the getting into the sphere idea, and can definitely provide little aid as far as the battle goes::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Looks down at the sensors.::  CO:  Sir... other ships are now within our weapons range.

ACTION: As if on cue, Claymore is rocked by the other ships' weapons.

CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Understood...::moves a bit up and down::....Now I think its time for our chase to begin.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Grabs her console.::  CO:  Too much so...
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  Sheilds down by 12%.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Firing again...phasers and quantums
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
::looks to be having entirely too much fun::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::stays standing, and looks around to make sure nobody has fallen to the deck this time::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: holds her ribs with a slight gasp on impact, straightens back up, pulling the ship around for another pass ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::her eyes rest on Crashalot as Eos decides he's a dangerous guy::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Hit!  I think, I sunk his battleship!  They are disabled!
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Excellent hit...Now head towards the sphere...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::rolls her green eyes and wonders what kind of place she and Eris have ended up into::

ACTION: The other two ships fire again, but miss due to Chaser's quick manuevering.

CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Works through the odd terminolgy and shakes her head.::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: tears well up, she wipes them away and keeps on flying, circling back around to the damaged ship ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
OPS: Excellent flying Cmdr.

ACTION: Claymore circles around the damaged ship and bolts for the sphere.

OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: weakly replies :: CO: Aye, Captain.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Sir, I've recieved a report from security.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: What do we have?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks at Chaser for a moment, feeling bad she let her return to duty so soon after her surgery::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Unable to help much in this battle, scans the area for anything while part of her mind contemplates a beam onto the station... force... was that the only way?  It had not been with her people, yet that was what had been used.::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: reinforces power to aft shields, tacking back and forth while adjusting pitch, drop thorium particles in their wake to confuse tactical sensors ::
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Well, sir  ::seeming confused::  Uh, when did we get a compliment of fighters?  The report says that during a routine check of the flight deck, security found two squadrons of fighters...
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::looks at Eris, getting a feeling about what she is thinking:: CSO: ::whispering:: They started, we retaliated. It worked then.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO;  And...uh, well..they are all painted purple...
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: drops the angle of attack to maximize weapons ::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::wonders what's with purple these days...::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO:  But this time, we started it...
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Looks like its our lucky day...I think we could send out the squad to hold the fort while we head to the sphere.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  Sir... I would be very careful about that luck... especially if Fizer comes attached to it.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Sure...but we don't have any pilots..  ::is distraced by a pulsing purple light on his board:::  Uh, sir, you might want to see this...
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: I agree...but if he wants us to play a game...then we need to play the game to win.
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: No. They did. They invaded our galaxy and are threatening to destroy all life in it. They destroyed the Romulan vessel. They attacked us when we approached... and never answered a single comm.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  Eos and I can both fly.
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: turns to the CMO for a moment but then turns back to her station without speaking ::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Understood.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: What is it?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::whispers:: CSO: But we don't look great in purple.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO:  But did they do it on purpose?  And we invaded their space... who is the enemy there?
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Chuckles::  CMO:  You might not, but I do.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: This flashing purple light near the flight deck controls...  ::points::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Hmmm...any ideas to what it is?
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO: ::sticks her tongue out:: That's because you dye your hair and I'm a natural redhead.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: No, sir.  There's not even supposed to be a control there and it just started flashing
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Lifts a brow and pulls her undyed hair forward to compare to her sisters... identical.:: CMO:  Uh-hu...
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
FCO: Well push it.
FCO_Ens_Crashalot says:
CO: Uh, OK, sir....if you say so....
FCO_Ens_Crashalot is now known as SMDave.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Smiles as some of the tension leaves her with their silliness in the midst of a battle, and yet she knew they were both very ready for anything.::
OPS_Cmdr_Chaser says:
:: pulls the ship out of the dive after the button is pushed and heads away from the sphere ::
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Hearing the captain turns to look at him and then crash alot.::  CMO:  You said your prayers lately?

ACTION: After the FCO pushes the button, all the fighters launch from the flight deck and begin to attack the two pursuing enemy ships.

CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
::smiles, then shakes her head, then nods:: CSO: Always. For both of us, since I know you don't.
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Actually had a lot of time to think since I was out...and I think we need to take risks.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  I won't argue that... but I would like to know who is flying those ships...
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
:: Scans the vessels.::
CMO_Lt_Senn_Eos says:
CSO/CO: I'd say it should be pretty obvious already...
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Lets just say... I don't know either...But I figure they are here to help...so...I won't ask questions.
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CMO:  Nobody answered?  Figures...
CSO_Lt_Senn_Eris says:
CO:  Interesting approach sir... most... interesting.  ::smiles.::
CO_Capt_Taylor_III says:
CSO: Thank you.
