Reflections Mission 10:
Host SMDrew says:
Summary - The crew of the ISS Claymore readies themselves for the pending attack on the long Cardassian Transport Vessel.  So close to their objective, yet so out numbered they resume the one thing that has kept them alive for so long…
Host SMDrew says:
******************* Resume Mission ********************
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::At the secondary science station, keeping an eye on long range sensors::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::At Engineering Station, continuing passive transport target scanning of the Cardassian cargo holds::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::at his station on the Bridge as well::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sitting back in her seat on the bridge, her hand resting against her forehead::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: What is the status of our transporter systems?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Briefly takes a look at the short range scans, looking for details of the transport vessel::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  I have all transporters on-line, every pad on the ship is ready for transport
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods pensively:: CEO: Good.  Any ideas what the transport may be holding?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Paces around a bit on the bridge anxiously awaiting the attack.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Not as yet, increasing the scanning gain
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Her left hand resting on her dagger::  All: Status?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Lieutenant what is the status of the transport vessel?  When will it be in range?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods again::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::standing in his customary place, fully armed, and armored waiting for the word to attack::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Makes some adjustments on the console, pattern buffers increased to capacity::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Raises an eyebrow slightly...wonders what that's all about::  CO:  Five minutes maybe...but there's something very strange going on here.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shifts his attention::  CMO: Strange?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO, CO: We don't really need..."strange"....right now...
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances up to the viewscreen, trying to focus::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks over next to the CMO at the science station.::  CMO: Strange?  Now, what?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Sir, I've made all the possible adjustments to the scanners, we will need to be no farther than 1500km for transport to be successful
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances over at Raeyld sensing something is off.::  CNS: Is everything ok Commander?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO/XO:  They're not scanning.  At all.  No active sensor signatures detected from their craft.  This close to the cloud...it doesn't seem prudent.  Overconfidence I can understand, in this system, but not to that degree.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::glances at Hull and nods::  CEO: God willing, we will be pummeling them from that distance rather than being pummeled...
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Silent a moment even to the Captain's inquiry, trying to focus on any possible, even faint, emotional reading from the Cardassian craft::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Raising an eyebrow::  CMO: Can you detect how many life signs aboard?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO, CO: Perhaps they are trying to keep a low profile as well. Active scans set you apart from the more normal matter of space.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO/XO:  Could be they're just that stupid, but I'd advise caution.  ::Shakes his head a little::  As far as crew load out, fifteen crew members and two hundred fifty soldiers.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Monitoring the targeting scanners, all sub-systems...waiting for the moment::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods slightly::  XO/CMO: Possible.  But, let's not take any chances.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
XO/CO:  True.  In any case, we'll have our window any minute now, if you want to take it.  ::Switches back to LRS for another look around::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Without diverting her gaze from the main viewer:: CO: ...I sense nothing.  No...Nothing.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances over once again at Raeyld::  CNS: Acknowledged Commander.  ::Still sensing something is off with her but not sure what and no time to really find out::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Take us to red alert.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Turns slightly and looks up from his panel over to Raeyld for a moment::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The Cardassian Transport Vessel passes gracefully past the location the Claymore is hiding in the Oort Cloud...
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Captain, I'm beginning to think this might be a set-up.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Turns to look to T'Shara:: CO: I mean...Captain. There are over two-hundred and fifty m--...people on that vessel.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Like they are trying to draw us out Commander?  Agreed.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Gestures to the viewscreen::  CO: Some of these details are nonsensical, almost to the point of becoming convenient for such an endeavor.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: Aye ma'am. ::raises shields arms weapons::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CO: Maybe we can toss in some bait and see what happens.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Even in my universe, Cardassians never travel at such a state.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Keeps a close watch::  CO/XO:  Transport vessel is moving past...distance at thirty-five thousand kilometers.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::ignores that comment, figuring it is wholly irrelevant to the situation at hand::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Crossing her arms a bit she straightens up from the science console and looks to the main viewer.::  XO: Agreed.  Launch three fighters and see what response we get from the Cardassians.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Well, one concern...our position will probably be worthless once we do that.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shrugs::  CO: I'm curious, too...we'd have to be willing to fight our way out, or at least run very damn fast...
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::increases power to shields, uses impulse stacks to augment EPS power grid::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: I share your concern.  This is either a fabulous stroke of luck or a very clever setup to draw us out.  The question now is do we take the bait or do we let this opportunity pass by.  Your recommendations Commander.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Walks over to the railing behind the command chairs and rests her hands on the bars.::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Waits, as he wasn't asked, but has a feeling Davis' recommendations will fall rather close to his own::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::thinks for a moment, trying to weigh the various possibilities, and mostly the potential gain from this::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: I'm as tempted to jump into action as anyone here, but something doesn't feel right about this. Holding position and waiting might be preferable at this point.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks over her shoulder at Karlsson knowing what's in his head as far as the possibility of smashing heads goes so to speak.  Turning her attention back to the viewer waiting Davis' remarks::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO/XO:  Cardassians are firing up their warp drive.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Recommendation noted Commander.  Disregard the order to send out the fighters.  Let's see what their next course of action is.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Taps a few buttons on the console to try to extrapolate their course::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, belaying the previous order::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO/CMO: Can you detect their heading Lieutenant?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
All:  It would appear we might not have to wait to long to see what they are up to.......... ::Still holding onto the rail::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  Working on it.  ::Takes a look at the calculations::  Heading for Cardassian space, it looks like...Cardassia Prime, in all probability.  They've raised shields.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::frustrated as he suspects many others are, he shares in their feeling; however, it just doesn't seem wise to go whole hog into this::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO/CMO: Perhaps they are going to join in the fight that is commencing in Cardassia Prime with the Breen.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Rests back again into her seat, her hands resting upon the controls at each side, her finger slipping across the panels without pressure::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Sees something out of the corner of his eye on the long range board::  CO/XO:  Two more vessels just arrived in sensor range.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CMO: Their heading?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  The lone Cardassian Transport warps out of the system in a brief flash of light.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Straightens and walks over to her chair, pressing a few buttons on the armrest::  CMO: Cardassian?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::signals the fighter complement to be on alert status, just in case::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Takes a look for details, appreciating the increased sensor resolution that Hull seems to have so readily implemented::  CO/XO:  They look like the same make of the first ship, which, as a side note, has just left the system and entered warp.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Clears the transport targeting sensors as the Cardassian ship warps out of range::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO/XO:  They're on the same track out of the system, probably on the same course as the first.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: We could leave the fighters to intercept the local group and pursue the initial ship.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Or overwhelm these two and decide what's what from there.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Resets the pattern buffers, passive scanning 360 degrees, Z+/- 360 degrees::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances to the Doctor:: CMO: ..How similar?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Agreed Lieutenant it is logical to think that.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CMO: The ships, I mean.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: Ma'am, I've got some odd signal blips on LRS.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CNS:  They're too far out yet to say for certain...but I'm guessing most of the troop transports have identical makes and load outs.  ...Why?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances away, back to the viewscreen, without answering, focusing intently upon the image of the transports::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Shakes her head slightly::  XO/CMO: I'm not worried about the ship that left the system Commander.  I think we should concentrate on the two ships that are heading in this direction.  It is logical to ascertain that this could be a route that the Cardassians routinely use given the Cloud to hide in as they pass through.  So this could be something we could use to our advantage by picking them off as they pass with the help of the fighters.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: You know, commandeering one or both of those vessels could prove useful.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC:  Odd signal blips?  Can you clarify?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Looks back to Welland:: CMO: Do these vessels display a similar lack of scans? Like the last one?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: I'm more concerned about making sure 500 or so Cardassian troops don't make it to their current destination.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Shakes his head, wondering::  XO:  As suspected, they both have the same crew complement.  Two hundred sixty five total.  Both ships already have shields raised.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: They are intermittent, and change location, could be false readings from the Oort cloud.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Can you tell their origin Lieutenant?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Right, but if we could capture the ships and crew we could perhaps infiltrate the Cardassian command from the inside.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Without lifting his eyes from his fingers tapping at the console::  CNS:  I'll be glad to find that out for you, since you seem to be occupied.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Once there, we could kill the troops and cause some trouble potentially without even risking Claymore.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: I'm unable to track them, they change there location too often and too quickly.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Noted Commander, let's plan for an attack run on these two and see what happens from there.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods:: CO: Aye Captain.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Do you know if the blips as you say are coming from the incoming ships or something else?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Just watches the Doctor silently, waiting almost but imperceptibly impatiently for his response::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Still not looking up, while checking for the sensor images as requested::  CO/XO:  I'm still not so sure.  Maybe since we didn't bite on the first one, they're just baiting the hook a bit more heavily.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Helm: Reorient ship towards the transports. Prepare to execute attack pattern epsilon.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*Fighter Command:* Bridge to Fighter Command, prepare to release fighters pursuant to attack pattern epsilon on our mark.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Perhaps but the more ships they send this way the less likely anyone would want to strike I would think with the chance of being out gunned.  But, I have been wrong before.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: unable to determine, as I said they change position too often.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Still looking to the Doctor, but focusing on the Cardassian vessels intently, trying to get any mental reading on them:: CO: ...Captain…
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CNS:  Counselor, in response to your question, these two ships also appear to be running without active sensor sweeps.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Keep working on it Lieutenant.  I don't want or need any surprises do I make myself clear...
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::checks console::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Fighters standing by; attack run plotted.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::standing next to the Counselor as she is still looking at some reports on her arm console::  CNS: Counselor what is it?
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: Crystal ma'am.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Understood.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: ...I agree with Doctor Welland.  These seem too... It's just not correct.  If we are to send the attack fighters, perhaps we ought first to investigate the anomalous readings?
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The two Cardassian Transports pass by the Claymores position.  Approximately 35000 km out.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: It seems prudent to consider the Cardassians might have a system of shuffling vessels with false life sign readings to lure possible attackers out, while the real - and more heavily armed - vessels hide more deeply within the cloud.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
XO:  Transports are on the same exact course and heading.  About thirty-five thousand kilometers out and moving past, outside the cloud.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: Afterall: who sends troop transports of those numbers without any armed escorts?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CNS: All the more reason to avoid using sensors - so you draw less attention to yourself.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CNS: Why risk 500 people for one ship, or for something completely unknown?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
XO: Indeed, why risk 500 people, without armed escort?  If sending people, send defense. If luring bait, use false life signs.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Rests her hand briefly to the Captain's arm:: CO: Consider it.   ::Releases and sits back in her seat, prepared to support whatever decision the Captain makes::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO, CNS: If we can get hold of those ships, we could do irreparable damage to the Cardassians.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Mostly agrees with the counselor, but doesn't really care to do so out loud in so many words::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: I understand what she's saying, but this could be an opportunity that we may never have again.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Looks over the Master Display Board, all systems on-line, Battle-Ready::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks down at the hand::  All:  This is a trap.  Nothing seems logical about this situation.  But, it makes sense that they know the Claymore is hiding here and no matter what we do at this point it's logical that we will have to fight our way out.  No matter one ship or many.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Turns to the engineering station::  CEO:  Hull, what do you make of those anomalous sensor readings Karlsson was talking about?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
Helm: Commence attack run on those two vessels.  SEC: Lock onto the two vessels and prepare to fire on my command.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::does a double-take::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Be ready to launch fighters.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
SEC: Lieutenant.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMO:  I would suggest there are other Cardassian ships...waiting for their chance to attack.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CEO:  Can you think of any way we might find out for certain?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO: If we are to attack, we ought to consider aiming our attack toward the anomalous readings Karlsson has reported. They seem likely to be the real prize, and probably not expecting us to find them out.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: aye, ::locks on target::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  As the Claymore breaks through the Oort Cloud the Cardassian Transport Vessels split away from each other.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO/XO:  The transports appear to be breaking formation...which is odd, as they shouldn't be able to see us without their sensors operational....
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMO:  Only thing that comes to mind is a Tachyon burst from the forward deflector dish
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CNS: That would be an option Commander but last I heard from Karlsson he was unable to detect any location as to the anomalies so that would be rather hard to target don't you think?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Refocuses on the sensors::  CEO:  Can that be managed at this range?
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Sits back quietly, glancing once to Davis as her fingers spread again over her controls::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The two Vessels begin to increase their velocity moving in opposite directions.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMO:  At this distance, it would be hit or miss, to reveal anything
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Begins to pace again slightly around the bridge::  CMO/SEC: Anything on the anomolies?  Could they be getting information from said blips?
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CEO:  Would a miss hurt anything?  ::Watches as the transport vessels continue splitting up::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches the ships maneuver on his console, and on the viewscreen as well:: Helm: Maintain pursuit of the nearest ship.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Commence firing on both vessels Karlsson.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CMO:  It would certainly reveal the Claymore, like a lightning rod.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Wonders silently if the Betazoid people have an afterlife::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::Opens fire with both phasers and torpedoes::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Fighters standing by.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  Entirely possible, but by no means certain.  Too little to go on to say.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::walks over and takes a seat, watching the attack on the viewer.  She knows many of the crew questions her decision but they couldn't just set around second guessing things and waiting they needed to do something.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  CMO: Noted Lieutenant.
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION: The Claymore opens fire with a full barrage of phaser fire and plasma torpedoes.  The first Cardassian Transport's shields light up then fail under the strain and are shortly consumed by massive explosions across the entire vessel.  The 2nd Vessel is only slightly luckier.  Their shields fail, but the hull remains intact.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::curses silently as the first vessel lights up like a Christmas tree::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Continue firing on the 2nd vessel no mercy Lieutenant.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  Captain...I'm no longer reading any life signs aboard the second vessel.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Glances up, wondering if they were going to take control of the second vessel...Then glances sharply to Welland at his announcement::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  Nor the first before it was destroyed, for that matter.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CO:  Captain, that ship may have supplies needed, we could board her, take what we need.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: Multiple Contacts on LRS, counting 15 incoming.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO/CEO: I somehow doubt there are any supplies ab--
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: Aye ma'am.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
SEC, CO: Super.  :: Smiles, knowing their collective decision was wrong, and that they will probably be meeting their maker a little sooner than planned::
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::continues to fire, on the second vessel, full salvo of torpedoes and phasers::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks to Raeyld, knowing full well that speaking up probably wouldn't have changed anyone's mind, but wishing he had just the same::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Helm: Plot a course away from here - any heading - at maximum warp..
Host Gul_Dak says:
*COM*: Terran Vessel:  Terran Vessel this is the Cardassian Task Force Fleet Orion.  Surrender now or prepare to be destroyed.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances to Lieutenant Welland::  All:  Well I guess we got our answer.  Counselor obviously  you were correct they were false life signs all along.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Suspends transporter operations, switches systems to standby::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
CO/CEO/All: Can we ignite any spacial, chemical, or otherwise combustible dust or gas in the Oort Cloud, to damage them?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Without answering, turns to look at her crew::  All: I don't know about you but surrender is not in my vocabulary.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::grins ferally:: Haakaa Paale!
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CNS: We could fire an isolytic burst into the cloud.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
CNS:  Commander, I'm only reading gravity wells and inert gasses in the cloud.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Looks down, taking a long pause as the LRS lights up again::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO, CNS:   ::with more enthusiasm as he thinks about the idea::   Fire it towards the incoming ships. Their warp signatures will act like a zipper across space and rip a hole in the area.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO/SEC: I want full scans is there a weak area we could blow through and get out of the way maximum warp as we blow a whole in them?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO:  Tearing subspace is the only way to take care of that many ships at once. Timing is everything.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  They appear to have us more or less surrounded.  We're going to have to punch our way through no matter which way we go;  seven Birds of Prey and eight Cardassian warships approaching from different areas.
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Briefly references her console:: CO: Commander Davis' recommendation seems sound.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Noted.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Work with Lieutenant Hull set it up.  We'll punch a whole through one and then we'll use the isolytic burst right before we jump to warp.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: We can't jump to warp if we use it.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Charge the Breen energy displacers we'll use it on the lead ship.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
CO: Aye ma'am.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Our warp engines will help to create a larger tear in the fabric of subspace. We'll be drawn in.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Then we will use whatever maximum speed we have at the time Commander either way get on it.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::charges up the Breen weapon::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Helm: Once we've fired the isolytic burst, maximum impulse only.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: We'll go to full impulse.  CEO: Make sure we shut down the warp core completely before we use the isolytic bursts.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: You know what we're looking for here?
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::heads back towards the engineering console::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Begins configuring the nacelles for shutdown::  XO:  Yes, beginning shutdown sequence.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: I mean with the isolytic burst. In lala land or wherever your from, I don't know if they do this kind of thing.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
CO:  Less than five minutes until they're within weapons range.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::crosses her legs and readjusts in her chair hoping Davis' plan works and waits for the fireworks.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  I have been visited by Temporal Investigations on at least three occasions ::grins::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CMO: Acknowledged.  XO: You have 3 minutes to make this work Commander.
Host Gul_Dak says:
*COM*: Terran Vessel:  You are wanted for known Terrorist offences within the Cardassian Boarders.  You will stand down or be destroyed.  This is your last warning.
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Warp Core off-line, plasma injectors closing::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::nods, figuring that's a "yes"::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Ever-so-slightly grips the edges of her armrests::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
*COM* Gul_Dak: You'll have to take us the hard way.  Prepare for heavy losses.  Claymore out.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: We can only create one rupture. If we create more than one, it's doubtful we'll get out.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Closes the channel, grabs a hold of her armrest and prepares for a rough ride.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Understood, we are 30 seconds away from complete M/ARC shutdown
Host Gul_Dak says:
ACTION:  Klingon Bird's of Prey begin their attack run on the Claymore.  The Claymore shakes violently as the Klingon disrupters slam into the starboard shields.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::mans one of the engineering consoles, reconfiguring the deflector dish to initiate the isolytic burst::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::reinitializes dish with modified settings::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
XO:  Commander, the core and nacelles are safe!
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: Acknowledged. Just waiting on the deflector dish.
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Rocks with the blasts, bracing himself by grabbing onto the sides of the console::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::tightens her grip on the chair as she rocks around from the blast::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::shifts in his seat, knocked uncomfortably around by enemy fire::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
XO: Commander what are you waiting for?
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::Grabs the railing, holds on tight::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::targets a series of bursts towards the largest mass of ships::
Host Gul_Dak says:
ACTION:  The lead Cardassian warship drops from warp in front of the Claymore.  They open fire on the Claymore and rip through the forward shields.  The Claymore sustains heavy damage on all forward decks.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Helm:  ::a little louder::  Engage!
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Isolytic bursts fired...!
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
SEC: Target the lead ship and fire both displacers.
SEC_Lt_Karlsson says:
::Targets lead ship, fires both displacers:: CO: Weapons away!
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::braces for impact::
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CEO: Increase power to aft shields.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Braces for impact.::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
::increases power to aft shields, augmenting with impulse power::
CNS_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Relaxes, letting go of the armrests::
CMO_Lt_Welland says:
::Climbs off the floor and into a chair, as it's more secure that way, and at the moment, sensor readings are the least of his concern::
CEO_Lt_Hull says:
*Engineering*:  Damage Control, all decks.
XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
