Host SMDave says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::On the bridge at his station, waiting to put there plan into action. Or not.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::in the Ready Room, going over some paperwork while the rest of the crew continues to prep for the possibly-aborted Chuna mission::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::the turbolift arrives and the doors open, stepping out an incredible emotion hits him and his heart pounds, not sure if its excitement or sadness he steps forward a moment as a flood of memories cycle through::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::in Main Engineering, giving a brief look at the Claymore's schematics to give himself at least some familiarity with the ship::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::On the bridge at the OPS station waiting for a response from SFC.::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: USS Claymore and USS Sojourner float outside the Chuna System waiting for something to happen.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Enters the bridge from the TL and takes a seat.::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::walks around slowly to the main deck then pats the relief helmsman on his shoulder, he gets up and Theron takes his station at the conn::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::still in the alternate bridge at the TIC, pacing around the table displaying the holographic tactical region map of the Chunum system, waiting for word from the bridge or spotting something odd...anything to break this watchful-waiting::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::tries to remember the last time he was on a ship of this type, but it feels like it's been a while::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::sees the CNS enter the bridge and walks over to him so they can talk to the CEO to make sure they were all on the same page for the possible evacuation.::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::sits at science, sees all is fine on the sensors and turns to see a new flight officer, remembering her latest orders::  *CTO*:  Would you like me to meet you?
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::feeling almost as if they were never parted, he starts going over the station and the flight checklist, checking course and speed:: Self: Coasting . . . .
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::signs a few of the new orders into activation and files them away, pulling out a new stack of personnel records::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
*EO*: Lt. Davis, please report to the bridge.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::looks at the ceiling as if it just talked to him and ordered him to the Bridge; it sounded like the Chief Engineer, but he's not entirely sure::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CNS: Come with me Renor we need to get together with Commander Hayward and discuss final plans for the away mission.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
*CEO*: Aye, sir. On my way.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::pushes back away from the console, then gives his chair a gentle push back and heads for the Turbolift::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::overhears:: OPS/CNS: I'm bringing along an extra engineer - we'll need him if my guess it right
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::doubles back and grabs a standard issue repair kit, just in case, then resumes his trip to the Bridge::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::shakes his head, as if Rhianna were in the room with him:: *SO*: I have a better idea; I will come to you. My usefulness over here has expired, I think. I'll be on the main bridge shortly. ::exits the TIC and orders the TL to the bridge::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::enters the Turbolift::  Turbolift:  Bridge!
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::drifts back to the side opposite the doors and waits::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::nods her head in answer::  *CTO*:  Very good.  ::smiles wryly before she speaks again::  I am going nowhere else.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::walks over to where the CEO is.::  CEO/CNS:  Acknowledged Commander.   What guess is that?  I have also met with my staff and there are prepping to go as well so they will be ready to pilot any shuttles we might need as well.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
OPS: Aye Commander.  ::Stands and walks over to the group.::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::gets up to walk over to the small replicator in the readyroom to order a cup of stimcaf::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS/CNS: I want to shield the facility we buid. Make it defensible and as invisible as possible.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::thinks and wonders if the computer would still have it available after all this time:: Computer: Load navigation configuration Theron-4-2-beta.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::feels warm - all the changes in the last few days have him feeling quite a bit more nervous than usual; he breathes out and exhales slowly::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS:  Sounds like a plan.  Although, is it even possible Commander.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::exits out on to the Bridge as the doors open, and he finds Hayward immediately and approaches him::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS/CNS: Yes, I can make them hard to find, and even harder to hit.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::squares himself to Hayward::  CEO: Lieutenant Davis reporting as ordered, sir.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS:  I would think a better solution would be to set up several smaller shields.  That would keep it easier to hide and if one is detected and destroyed the rest would still be protected.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::keeps tweaking the latest proposed sensor net as per the Daylan's orders with the computer checking it over for flaws::  Self:  Much harder with this greater expanse to cover...
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::the LCARS on the station change to his preferences:: Self: Good, now were cooking.  ::starts to go over the efficiency reports from engineering:: Self: Lets see how this boat is holding up . . .
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::extends hand:: EO: Lt Davis, good to meet you. This is commander T'Shara and counselor Renor. We'll be working closely with them on this mission.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::wonders if the SO is feeling nearly as famished as he is right about now:: Self: It's been awhile it seems... ::pats his stomach::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::retrieves the replicated cup of dark brown liquid and walks back to the desk, sipping with a pleased sigh as he settles in, glancing at the wall chrono to gauge the time before going back to it::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::returns the handshake, then nods to T'Shara and Enor::  OPS/CNS:  Commander, Counselor.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
EO: Welcome Lieutenant.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
EO: Lieutenant Davis if there is anything you need please stop by my office any time.  My door is always open.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::nods again, offering as polite a smile as he can::  CNS: Thank you, I will.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/EO/CNS: I think Renor's idea with smaller shields might be a better idea in case one was destroyed the other would still be there as a backup protection.  Let's see what we can do with that
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS/CNS/EO: It would expidite the installation, and we can train the people it shelters to buid more
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS/EO:  Well its not some much a back up system.  Rather several smaller shield areas spread over the mountain area we are looking to place the population.  It would be like not placeing all our eggs in one basket.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::the TL doors open to reveal the bridge, and his eyes immediately detect his friend the SO, and a certain Bajoran gent at the helm::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS/EO: I agree if we can set up one we could train them to build more.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: How up to speed are you on our mission?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::readjusts his stance a little::  CEO:  Not very, sir - just know that there was some sort of evacuation planned.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::relieves the duty crewman at tactical, and orders him to report to the TIC::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks at a PO3 with a less than exemplary service record, frowning that she ended up on Claymore::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::hands him a padd:: EO: There are some that want to be evacuated, and other that want to remain behind. We're looking at relocation the ones that stay behind - as safely as possible. They Synod are a very real danger.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/CNS/EO:  Agreed then that is what we shall do when we get to the surface.  Commander make note of what you will need and I will have some of my team see what they can do to assist you in getting those.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: There are the schematics I've drawn up so far
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::takes the pad and begins soaking up the information as best he can::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: Assuming we ever get to the surface. I hate to see them attacked
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS/EO:  I will inform the Government body of our plans and will ask for an engineering support team from the planet to be assigned to Commander Hayward for training on the shields.  Hopfully we will be contacting them soon.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::sets the petty officer's personnel file aside and flags it for later review, going on to the next::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::after finishing the reports Theron sits for a moment and thinks about the past, luckily catching himself before turning around to say something to Alex, his good friend who is no longer with this ship::
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Long Range sensors perk up at the detection of three vessels approaching the system at low warp speed.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
CEO/OPS/CNS: If the Synod are as dangerous as it appears, wouldn't we be safer trying to use a combination of methods?  I mean, the 'eggs in one basket' approach is one thing, but smaller shields will yield smaller output - and won't offer as much protection..
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO:  Agreed Commander but we can't help them if they don't want it.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: See if we can put both plans into action. Smaller for now, larger for down the road
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/OPS/EO:  The problem is if the entire population and/or the government body says they are staying we are not going to be able to build a shield that big.  Smaller more organized shield would be the answer.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::just when he was gonna strike up a conversation with the SO, he catches the incoming contacts out of the corner of his eyes:: *CO*: Captain, we have three incoming ships entering the system at low warp speeds.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO: Captain!  Three vessels just spotted at warp speed but moving in low, approaching the system now...
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::holds the PADD up::  CNS/OPS/CEO:  The layout here looks good.  If we were to add a few pockets of highly concentrated shields, we might be able to protect more people in specified areas.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::brings up his navigation lay out and holds the Claymores course until ordered to intercept::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::grins at the SO, having said nearly the same thing at the same time:: Self: Like minds... ::tracks the blips::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::looks at Kizlev and smiles, winking at him because they both spoke at the same time.  Leans in closer to her Andorian and whispers::  CTO:  You should have grabbed something at the replicator...it will be a long day I think..
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks up from the desk and puts the padd he was working on down, walking around the desk and out of the readyroom to the bridge:: CTO: Identity?
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CEO/EO/CNS:  Let's work out the scenarios on both and see what we can do once we know how many are staying and such.  Like Hayward said start with the smaller ones to  be replaced by the larger later on.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS/CNS/EO: Agreed
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO/EO/OPS: Agreed.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::tries to perk up the sensors to get the identity of the vessels sooner, her adrenaline already rising::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::nods with T'Shara, figuring this is reasonable; he looks at the PADD again to view any data on the shields themselves to see if there is a way to tweak them at all for more protection::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO: Commander, Will you be tapping into the current power source on the planet and then set up a backup system if that fails?  I would think any power generators would be a 1st target for any enemy.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::walks over to the Helm and glances at the screen, noticing there's already an intercept plotted and smiles at his fellow Bajoran::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CNS: No, we won't. The location is very remote, we'll need to have independent power cells
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CEO:  Thats probably a better solution anyways.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::frowns, puzzled by the vessels route and attitude::  CO/CTO:  The ships...they are behaving as if they are not aware of us.  They're heading for Chuna IV.  I am working on identity...  ::glances at Kizlev for affirmation::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Scanning... ::glances at Rhianna with some hope:: ...they are oblong and bulbous in configuration...each 420 meters in length...closest match in database shows them to be Amenti ships heading for Chuna IV, sir.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::checks over his conn:: CO: Their course takes them to Chuna IV Captain, 10Au's out at present.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::monitors the bridge chatter, ready to act on the COs word::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO: They are too far for me to sense or else I might feel their intention...  ::works on the sensors and reads the fast scrolling data::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::overhears some of the talk on the rest of the Bridge, but tries to focus on what their group is talking about; from the looks of it, there's enough going on for them as is::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks at the viewscreen for a few moments before walking over to the command chair and sitting:: CTO: Designate contacts Uniforms 1, 2 and 3.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
FCO: Inform USS Sojourner that we're breaking orbit and they are to remain here. Then take us out.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::hits a button on his chair arm:: *Shipwide* All hands, we have an incoming contact. Senior Officers to your stations.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CNS/CEO/EO:  Well given what is going on at the moment I think we  are probably done here for now and better resume our post.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods to the SO with a look of confidence:: CO: Aye, sir.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
Self:  Here we go again.  ::Leaves the group and takes a seat next to Captain Daylan.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
OPS: Understood.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::nods::  CEO: I'll be in Main Engineering if you need me, sir.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
EO: Go ahead. I'll be here.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::swiftly sends a text transmission to the USS Sojourner and activates the helm for an intercept with the three vessels:: CO: Enroute full impulse Sir.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::turns and walks straight into the Turbolift::  Turbolift: Main Engineering.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::walks away from the group and takes her place at the Ops station.::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::still holding the Engineering kit he had originally taken::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::takes another deep breath in the chair and wonders what this is coming::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: Hail them, T'Shara.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::turns toward the viewscreen::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::nods:: CO:  Aye sir.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: USS Sojourner acknowledges.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::opens a hailing frequency and attempts to contact the incoming vessels.::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::gets the response from their partner vessel:: CO: Sojourner acknowledges they are holding position at last coordinates.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::begins running status sweeps on the incoming ships, trying to determine their exact conditions::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::looks toward the viewscreen fully expecting the vessels Captain to respond since they are making no threatening actions and is curious::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::hits another button on his chair arm to put the Flight Bay on alert as they move to intercept::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::bolts out of the Turbolift, beginning to feel a little more nervous about whatever was happening on the Bridge - and outside the ship::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::waits a response.::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::watches the three vessels get closer on his navigation sensors, begins running emergency battle scenarios in his mind::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::enters Main Engineering and heads right for the console he was at before, taking a seat and checking the status of the weapons and shields first::
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::looks over to his right:: OPS: Anything?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, the vessels all appear to have sustained serious damage across most decks. Sensors, hull integrity and overall power...all down to about 40 percent.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO:  No response sir.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
Self:  Hmmm...  CO: Captain...another oddity.  Amenti cruisers of this type usually have approximately one hundred sixty crew.  But each of these vessels carries only a median of seventy-five.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CO: Shall we alert sickbay in case of injuries?
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::checks the flight patterns:: CO: Sir those vessels could be on auto pilot.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
CO: Suicide mission?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::sees everything is in relative order, although nothing has really happened to put things into disarray - yet; he runs a level five diagnostic on the warp core as well::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::thinks to himself, or they could be just slowly out of control on their last known heading till they hit something::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::looks up, catching the pips on the FCO's collar before speaking:: FCO: Do you suspect a trap, commander?
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::listens to the various reports and wonders if this could be some sort of trap:: All: Lets try not to take too many chances. T'Shara, hail them again. A warning this time. Helm, increase to flank speed and bring us alongside but give us some distance. Kizlev, ready medical and security teams.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO: Sir we should contact the Chunum to see if these ships where expected.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::notes immediately that the vessels already slow speed further decreases and wonders::  All:  Vessels slowed to impulse now...
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::notices something odd from the vessels.::  CO: Sir it would appear that the vessels are sending intense comms to Chuna IV and the planet is responding back to them.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
::glances down at the chair beside him:: CNS: That couldn't hurt... Use a secondary channel. See if they respond.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::turns towards the voice:: CTO: A possibility Lieutenant, but not a certainty.
Host CO_Capt_Daylan says:
OPS: What? They're Chuna ships?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::alerts sickbay and security::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head, thinking the ships attitudes so far and evidence points to them having suffered an attack::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO: Aye Captain.  *COMM*: Chuna IV: This is the USS Claymore.  We have detected 3 Amenti vessels entering your system.  Do you need assistance?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::again, the general diagnostic doesn't reveal any anomolies::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::stands up and walks towards the Master Systems Display, giving it a good stare::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir as the Counselor just stated there are indeed Amenti cruisers.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::follows the COs orders and pulls the Claymore alongside the port most ship keeps the starboard ventral section aiming towards the ship to ease a hasty retreat and keeps them about 5000kms off their hull:: CO: We are along side Captain.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Claymore receives an automated response from Chuna IV to please hold position and await a response from the Prime Minister.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO: Sir I've gotten a prerecorder message from Chuna IV.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO:  We are to hold position and await a response from the Prime Minister.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CNS: Sounds like a way to stall us if they wanted to...
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: Intense communication between the three ships and Chuna IV continue.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::hears the report but awaits his orders to stop::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir would you like me to try and break into the comm link between the ships and Chuna IV?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::folds arms and looks at an engineer next to him::  Self:  I guess we wait..
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Captain, let's try to intecept those messages. ::turns to the SO:: Maybe we can learn what this is about.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
<Crewman_Jennings>  ::ignores Davis, running diagnostics on the structural integrity field and inertial dampeners; the look in his eye tells Davis he's a little more battle hardened than he would have guessed::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
CTO: If we were just a little closer, I should be able to feel some hint of their emotions...  But I think they are in trouble.
Host SMDave says:
ACTION: The Amenti ships enter into orbit of Chuna IV and all communications between them and the planet cease.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::casts his gaze back to the display, trying to see if something on it will catch his eye and serve as a reminder for something else that he can do to prepare::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
CO: Sir the communications between the Amenti and the planet have ceased.
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
All: We go back to waiting then.
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
FCO: Hold position.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
All: Great
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
CO: Aye Sir, all stop. ::pulls the Claymore to a halt::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::takes a PADD that is offered to him by a passing crewman; he looks at it carefully, seeing it is the results of several routine diagnostics of the impulse engines and fusion reactors::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
All: Judging by their battle damage, this could explain why the Amenti were delayed.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::sits up slightly and turns, saying quietly::  CO: Captain, it is 'faint', but I am barely 'getting' a sense of urgency and confusion ostensibly from the ship nearest us.  Their basic psionic energy is...difficult, though.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::thinks back to all the reading he did on the current situation:: Self: So a race that is in lethal danger denies Federation assistance but is accepting help from our new allies, who declined to speak with us for no apparent reason.
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM: Claymore: USS Claymore this is Prime Minister Sydo.  Are you still there, then?
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
CTO: If they were attacked on the way here, it could mean something is heading this way. Prepare a report with our files to this point. We'll update it as necessary for dispatch to command.
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::becomes concerned for the Amenti people now, worried for their safety::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::paces back to the console he was at across the room::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO: Prime Minister Sydo on the Comm sir.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CO: Putting it on Main Screen.
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
::glances at Jakiel but before he can respond the call comes in and he finds himself looking at the panda-like species once more:: COM Sydo: Greetings, Prime Minister. You seem to have visitors.
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CO: Understood, sir. Preparing a file for transmission...
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
::Is glad to be off hold.::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::pauses before the Warp Core; there's a lot of movement in the room and behind him in the main area of Main Engineering, but the staff seems to know the drill pretty well::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::moves his hands over his console as if working but intently paying attention to the viewscreen::
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM: Daylan: Indeed we do, Captain.  They have given us certain vital information.  Based upon that information, the Chuna would gladly accept any assitance your Federation could give us.
CEO_LtCmdr_Hayward says:
::looks at the screen::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::stares heavily at the PM's eyes on the screen, glad the politician has finally decided to drop the cloak n' dagger at last::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
Self: Wonderful.  Nothing like wasting a few hours.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::pulls ip the transponder signals of the three ships and awaits the computer to identify them for Theron::
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
::looks momentarily surprised but covers it up quickly:: COM Sydo: I'm happy to hear that, Prime Minister, though I'm sorry it's under these circumstances. Could you tell me the nature of this 'vital information'? It could be critical to the conduct of our own operation.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::sits back down at the console and continues his diagnostics on the shields and weapons, still unsure of what's transpiring upstairs::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::is relieved the Chunam will accept the Claymore's help and hopes it will not get any worse::
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
Self: Whatever battle those ships have seen they apparently think we are their only hope.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::pulls up the duty roster and the designated damage control teams, trying to put a few faces with the names in front of him::
SO_LtJG_Jakiel says:
::pays very close attention to long range sensors for the slightest sign of more vessels::  CTO:  If the Amenti were hurt, I do not understand why their attackers are not on the chase of their prey?
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM: Claymore: Certainly.  They tell us that their communications systems are damaged so that they cannot operate on Federation frequencies...
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
SO: Perhaps these were the ones that survived a much larger battle. Others may have given their lives just so these three ships could make it here.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::gets back the identitys and compiles a text for the CTO:: *TEXT* CTO: The computer identifys the vessels as the 'Como' 'Plumbo'  and 'Bavbo'.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::recognizes a few crewmen from the orientation; he remembers Chief Matthews from the Apache for a moment, knowing he'll miss the man's personality and abilities::
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CTO:  If thats the case then it would be expected that whoever fought the Amenti can and will follow them here at some point.
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM:Daylan: ...but it seems they would like to apologize for their tardiness as they intercepted a squad of Synod Destroyers that were on course for Chuna...
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
::doesn't answer at first:: PM Sydo: Was the squad destroyed?
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
CNS: Vigilance will be required then. If we stay alert, we may stay alive.
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM:Daylan: All but one vessel was destroyed.  The last ship fled the scene.
CNS_ENS_Renor says:
CTO: Staying alive is always a good plan.
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
::sighs:: COM Sydo: That would be inconsistent with what we've been told about Synod tactics. We can only assume at this point that they did that to bring reinforcements. We'll need to move quickly prime minister. We'll be coming back in-system now and will get to work as soon as possible. I trust that your government will do what it can to speed things along?
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::continues paging through the department's personel; it seems like there are so many names, but then he remembers that the Claymore is much bigger than the Apache was::
CTO_Lt_Kizlev says:
::nods at the text data on his console and lightly nods to the FCO in confirmation::
Host PM_Sydo says:
COM:Daylan:  ::nods in grave agreement::  Indeed, Captain.  I am at your disposal.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::hearing the last response from the Captain she begins to tap some buttons on her console and notify her staff to standby.::
EO_Lt_Davis says:
::closes out of the personnel register and instead tries to focus on the current mission and some of the details Hayward had told him about::
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
COM Sydo: We'll speak again soon, Prime Minister. Claymore out.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::continues to monitor the three vessels on his scanners while also taking in and learning as much as he can from the conversation being had about the situation he has brought himself into::
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
FCO: Configure for short warp jump to Chuna IV and contact Sojourner to do the same.
Host CO-Capt_Daylan says:
::gets up and looks to another pair of senior officers:: OPS/CTO: Team Leaders, I suggest you get to work.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
CO: Aye Sir.  ::contacts the Sojourner to follow our lead and awaits the acknowledgement, once they do he lays in the course:: Ready on your mark, sir.
OPS_LtCmdr_TShara says:
::nods to the Captain.:: CO: Aye sir I have already notified my team to be ready for departure.
EO_Lt_Davis says:
