Host SMDrew says:
Where Have all the Marbles Gone? - Mission 35 - 11203.13
Host SMDrew says:
Summary:  The Overton arrives at the edge of the Crontium System.  Meanwhile on the planet surface the Romulan, Xrevea and Starfleet forces continue their battle.  While moments before a Starfleet officer was killed on the wall of the Monastery high above the main battle force.
Host SMDrew says:
****************** Resume Mission *******************
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Had been standing on the bridge of the Overton beside Captain Sumton, but she suddenly drops into the XO's seat beneath her, blinking slightly, internally shaken::
Host SMDrew says:
ACTION:  Romulans begin a fierce forward attack against the Starfleet ground forces.  Disruptor fire sprays everyplace forcing the ground troops to take cover.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::dives for cover.::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Crouching behind a wall near the doorway to the surface, helping the latest tactical officer he had been able to drag to cover.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes half of his fire team, zeroes in on T'Shara's position, and decides to make a run for it toward the CO while the other one and a half fire teams he'd been commanding provide some semblance of cover fire against the renewed Romulan offensive::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Looks over at the CMO with concern.  Quietly...::  CMO:  Commander?  What's wrong?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  Disruptor fire strikes the ground inches behind Damrok's feet as he runs to the new location.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO:  We have arrived Commander.  Let’s hope fate is on our side.   FCO:  Helm take us into the system.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Somewhat out of breath, diving and rolling to cover behind a ruined wall nearby the captain::  CO:  Captain!
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Shakes her head slowly, pausing to gather her thoughts:: CSO/SO: On second thought, it's--it's possible...  ::Draws a quick breath, eyes still on the viewscreen ahead:: If something were to happen to Captain T'Shara, Davis, and Damrok before we return-- that might be our call afterall...
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Finally looks aside to Hawk, deeply troubled yet calm:: SO: We should be prepared, just in case.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Remaining behind the ruined wall as Damrok dives in suddenly::  CTO: Commander.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  The Overton enters the Crontium System at red alert.  Short range sensors show the Romulan warbirds in the system are turning to intercept.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Applies a makeshift bandage to the wound in the tactical officer’s side, once satisfied peaks out over the wall to see if he can determine what their situation is.::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::shakes his head::  CMO:  What are you talking about?
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Looks up to Sumton and nods firmly:: CO: With your leave, Ensign Hawk and I will help identify the relevant life-signs to assist in obtaining transporter locks.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: There's too many of them.  We are going to have to pull back and regroup.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stands out from the cover slightly and opens another round of fire and then ducks back in crouching down.::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO:  We may not have time for that Commander.  ::Points to the tactical display on the main viewscreen.::  We have Romulans heading for us.    CTO:  What’s the rest of the system looking like?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Catches his breath::  CO:  All right.  We'll cover you while you join Kytides and the others in the rearguard.  ::Looks to the other members of his fireteam, who only offer a brief nod in agreement while they continue attempting suppressive fire::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CTO> CO: Sir long range sensors are picking up two warbirds outside the system coming in fast and another group of unidentified vessels coming in from 125.7 mark 2.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  CTO: I will try to get the Counselor as well on my way back.   Did you......  ::Pauses taking a breath and then glances to Damrok::  Did you see what happened to Davis?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks back to his fireteam as he gets to a knee and prepares to pop out to fire::  CO:  Not clearly, no.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  The Overton moves deeper into the system.  Two of the three Romulan warbirds cloak and fade from sensors.  The remaining continues on its intercept path to the Overton.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Seeing a bit of a lull in the fire pointed in his direction raises his head a bit higher looking for anyone hurt who is out in the open that he might be able to help,::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Stands from his crouch and squeezes off a few blasts toward the Romulan line, then quickly ducks again::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  Romulan Scorpion fighters begin streaking the sky’s over the battle.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@Outloud:  Damn.   Increase to full impulse and lay in a course for the systems star.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_FCO> CO:  Aye sir.  ::Enters the new course.::  Course layed in.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CO:  Sir... what is the status of repairs to the Jarrow?
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::from his cover, continues laying down covering fire.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looks up as she can hear the fighters.::  CTO: That's not good we need to move and we need to move now.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Draws a deep breath as she hears Sumton's order for the star, knowing of only her one plan involving it...and that was her last-resort::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CO:  Specifically, can she fly and is her cloaking system repaired?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@SO:  We haven't had time to touch it ensign.  I've had to put engineering on other part of the ship.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  We'll cover.  I suggest you move out, Captain.  ::Ducks around the side of the wall and fires off a few more potshots::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::bites his lip in frustration::  CO:  Understood, sir
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Sees a tactical team member sit up not far away, his face covered in blood, looking a bit confused as to where he is and rushes over to him::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: I didn't see either Commander.  Unfortunately it looks like we can't make it to his position now.  But, we need to check it out to see if he needs help.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods, her rifle firmly in hand as it's beginning to feel like another part of her since they arrived she quickly runs making her way for cover as she retreats.::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  Scorpion Fighters swoop down and strafe the Starfleet positions.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::takes a potshot at the strafing fighters with his weapon.::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Slides down next to the injured officer and forces his down as he hears fighters swoop in overhead.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::She dives behind some rubble, quickly she gets to her feet and remains crouching she ducks around the edge and opens fire at the fighters.::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks to the members of the fireteam::  Fireteam:  Our present position is untenable.  Cover-and-retreat, immediately.  ::Gives a hand signal to his team on the far right flank, indicating what he's just said out loud to the rest of the team::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  Romulans break into the Starfleet line.  They begin a hand to hand fighting within the ruins.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Begins to retreat as the others engage::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  The Overton shakes from the first wave of disruptor fire from the Warbird.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Quietly:: SO: Those repairs were expected to take hours, even days... It wouldn't have been soon enough to help anyway...   ::Looks back to Sumton:: CO: I take it we're going with the deflector burst, then.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Quickly checks over the man and doesn't seen any major wounds, grabs him under the arm and half stumbles half runs in a crouch back to the cover where he had brought some of the other wounded.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Ducks back around and opens fire again trying to give cover to Damrok and his team as she retreats.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@SO: We just need...some way to ensure we have more than just the one warbird in check when we engage the sun... This is a one-time trick...I hate to waste it on only one vessel.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO:  It’s a good first option.  We have to even the odds out a bit.  ::Holds tight to the arm rests on his chair.::   CTO:  Return fire.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::pops up and takes shots at the fighters while retreating.::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::shrugs::  CMO:  Have the Captain fire on all of them.  Romulans aren't especially hard to piss off.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Continues toward T'Shara's position, ducking along cover as he's able, and trying to return fire when he can to give the rest of his team room to retreat::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  Romulan's continue to pour into the ruins.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  The Overton returns fire with phasers and a forward burst of torpedoes.  Two warbirds decloak from the rear and open fire on the Overton.
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::quickly finds himself not entirely too far from the captain's position, and his own halfway discharged phaser rifle at the ready, he takes a few shots at passing fighters as he as well retreats... thankful, sort of, for his training in similar tactics... and, more with an internal shake of his head, for the added information he'd learned of the romulans' tactics while in one of many previous... well... careers::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::staggers from the hits, grabs a railing::  CMO:  There you go...  you asked, we now have a metric butt ton of Romulan ships.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Arrives at their new line and takes up position alongside the captain::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Stumbles back into cover pulling the injured officer with him::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: We need to try and hold this line.  We can't be forced back into the tunnel.
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::falls into line on the other side of the captain from Damrok, but spaced out a bit from both of them::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CO:  Any info on the unidentified ships, sir?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Looking at the others she continues to fire::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  The tunnel is at least a viable chokepoint.  I don't know if they could take it -- ::Rises up and fires:: -- if we went back down and switched to a defensive posture.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
OPS: Mr. Fong I need you to do everything you can to contact the Overton.  We need to find out if their even out there or if we're on our own.  ::the comment seeming pointless as she made it given what they were under::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  From around the Monastery wall several dozen Xrevea round the corner and begin to attack the Romulan's from behind.  They wield crude blunt weapons as they attack.
CAG_FL_Williams says:
CTO: They don't appear ::rises as well, squeezes off two shots, drops back down:: to be too interested in our posture, commander Damrok. I should point out they have air support... we, at the moment, could use a little.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@OPS/CTO:  Anything on those unidentified vessels?
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Grasps the edge of the chair as they shift:: Overton OPS: Are we close enough to get a message off to the teams on the planet?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CTO>  CO:  No sir.  They are keeping close to the M283 nebula at this point.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Upon seeing the front Starfleet line crumble and pull back figures  he won't have much time now to help with wounded so unslinging his phaser rifle moves up closer the CO and takes a few shots at the advancing Romulans before ducking back behind cover.::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_OPS>  CMO:  We should be close enough.  What would you like to send?
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Pulls the tricorder he picked up from one of the other tactical officers, since he was forced to leave his behind, and begins to scan for a map of the battlefield::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Runs a quick calculation using minimum access to the XO's side console::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  A barrage of disruptor fire strikes the aft shields of the Overton.  The Galaxy class vessel shakes as the shields continue to hold.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Rises up and takes and fires, before dropping back down she can see the Xrevea are still fighting from behind::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Noted.  Get as many people down there as you can.  But, let's keep a frontline outside to try and hold them back.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Pops up from behind cover firing at the closest Romulans he can find.::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@FCO: Begin defensive maneuvers.   ::Turns to look at the back of the bridge.::  CEO:  What’s the status of the shields?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CEO> CO:  Sir Aft shields are down to 60 percent and holding.
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::increases the rifle's output, and takes aim at romulans, popping up to squeeze off a handful more shots... absently, only for a brief second, wonders if he'd still be doing this were he still active... then, decides it doesn't really fracking matter::
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  Captain, the unknown force is hitting the rear of the Romulan formation in close-quarters combat.  Not sure if it's enough to turn the tide, though....
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  A Romulan pops up right in front of Ensign Foster and raises his rifle.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  Romulan fighters begin another Strafing run against the Starfleet forces.  Massive disruptor fire impacts the ground throwing debris everywhere.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Notices the raised rifle above Foster and turns her weapon on the Romulan striking him in the chest::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Sees motion in front of him and swings his rifle toward it firing.::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  Two more Romulan warbirds enter the Crontium System.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@Overton_OPS: Forwarding the message to send in a moment.   SO: Take a look.   ::Swings the control around to Hawk, showing: "Overton in system, dealing with Romulan warbirds and unknown vessels; best time to Chrontium IV will be no less than thirty minutes. Be prepared to transmit coordinates by that time."::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CTO>  CO:  Sir we have two more warbirds entering the system.  We have enemy targets.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Views the map with some skepticism::  CO:  Suggest we make way back to the tunnel.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Without thought she fires again at the Romulan::
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::stands, quickly, then rapid fires, before again dropping down just as quickly::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  A brief flicker of life to several comm badges:  "Overton in system, dealing with Romulan warbirds and unknown vessels; best time to Chrontium IV will be no less than thirty minutes. Be prepared to transmit coordinates by that time."::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::purses lips in thought::  CMO:  Not to be negative, but I think you'd better warn them we may not be able to get there at all and they need to take up a defensive position they can hold.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: Don't you think we should keep a team here in order to keep the line as the rest regroup?
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Feeling his reactions are too slow to get the Romulan he breaths a sigh of relief as the captain hit the Romulan in front of him and ducks down behind the wall his heart in this throat.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Stays down for now as she speaks::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::hears the message go out::  CMO:  Or not.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Over the sound of the strafing runs::  CO:  I agree, but it is my priority is to get you safely off the battlefield, Captain.
OPS_Lt_Fong` says:
::still back in the cover of the  stairwell, in the tattered robe, carrying the CTO's backpack and a depleted Medical kit, armed only with the medical tricorder from the kit::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Glances to Foster::  CNS: You ok Counselor?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Hears the Overton's comm.  Wonders where Fong is and then turns back to Damrok::
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::has only a few shots left, which likely won't do a whole lot against these odds... decides to get creative instead, and keeping low, moves his way closer to T’Shara::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Turns at the captain’s voice.::  CO:  I .... I will be captain, thanks for the save.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  Overton passes Crontium 4 at full impulse.  Three Romulan warbirds close behind.   Disruptor fire breaks through the aft shields and the Overton pitches hard to port.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods and rising and taking fire, drops back down::  CNS: Anytime Counselor.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CEO>  CO:  Sir we have lost aft shields.  We have minor hull breaches on decks 24 though 28.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: I understand that and my priority is to get us out of here as well.   How are we doing on weapons?
CAG_FL_Williams says:
CO: Captain. We need a lot more than rifles to even the odds here. Concussive force is going to be our best option. If we can't take our company out, take them down.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
CO:  We have some spare energy cells for the rifles and hand phasers, but I don't know how long we could reasonably be expected to hold out, especially if the Romulans have room-clearing weaponry.
CAG_FL_Williams says:
CO: Single point of impact, or dispersed. The call is yours or Damrok's, of course, but... ::he offers a slight shrug:: we don't have much of a tactical advantage otherwise.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@FCO: Helm evasive.   Turn us into the warbirds.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: Agreed Mr. Williams but they are out numbering us so what are you suggesting?
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Takes a few deep breaths trying to calm his nerves a bit.  Then gritting his teeth in determination pops back up and fires at some nearby Romulans.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CTO: As I suspected Commander.  We need to get in touch with the Overton somehow and let them know our situation.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  Romulan Fighters begin to hover over the Starfleet officers.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@Overton_CSO: Status of deflector dish modifications?
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::holds up his rifle:: CO: In about 3 shots, it'll be about as useless as our position here. We can waste them, or we can blow the rifle.
OPS_Lt_Fong` says:
::hearing the comm he frowns, and clicks into automatic, dropping the pack to the ground, and kneeling over it, pawing through the gear quickly, looking for as many power packs as he can strip and any comm gear he can find.::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@SO: Any theories on how we might somehow positively impact the crew's situation on the ground before we get there?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CSO>  CMO:  Modifications are ready Commander.  However we are still too far away to use them.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Hears the fighters above.::  CTO: You need to get people out of here. ::She opens fire on the fighters above::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: If that is our only option then I guess we will have to use it Mr. Williams.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CMO:  This is kind of out there... but what if we loaded up some torpedoes with weapons and supplies...  especially heavy weapons and launched it at the crew’s location?  Kind of like a supply drop?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO/CSO/SO:  Make your way to the transporter room.  I don't think we are going to make it to the Crontium star.   It’s better to beam you to a safe spot on the planet at this point.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks at the captain, not really any time to argue::  Aloud:  Let's move!  ::Waves at the fireteams and makes a break for it toward the staircase::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Startled:: CO:  We're going to be in transporter range of our crew?
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Blinks once:: CO: You mean evacuate?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
<Emirate Cette> ::Uses a loudspeaker.::  Outloud:  Starfleet I think its time for you and your friends to surrender.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO:  Yes Commander.  We will buy as much time here.
EO_Ens_Mariner says:
::mutters too quietly for anyone to here.:: self: not bluddy likely. ass hole.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  Disruptor fire slams against the Overton showing the bridge with sparks.  Lights flicker briefly.
OPS_Lt_Fong` says:
::outloud as he works on something based around a commbadge and all the power packs he scrounged from the CTO's pack:: Aloud: That is a perfectly logical and reasonable idea.
CAG_FL_Williams says:
CO: Only? Likely not. Least likely to get us all killed? ::shrugs:: Judgment call there. Personally I'd agree with me, but that doesn't tend to amount to much.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CEO>  CO:  Captain we lost dorsal shields.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Hears the voice and looks at Williams::  CAG: Surrender right to what.....  ::Rises up laying down cover for Damrok and his team, dropping back down again checking her weapon::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@Overton_CEO:  Bring all emergency power to the shields.   FCO:  Can we position ourselves between the planet and the romulans?
CAG_FL_Williams says:
CO: Do I take that as permission to send our declination in lights, captain?
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods::  CAG: Be my guest Mr. Williams.
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@CO:  Sir, if you're beaming us down, load us up with as many weapons and supplies as we can carry.  Grenades would be especially good.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_CEO>  CO:  Aye sir.
CAG_FL_Williams says:
CO: I really should note this date in my log. Now... let's see. These things usually don't change much... ::makes some adjustments to his rifle, setting the power levels to well above maximum, and on a count of 8, tosses it into the pile of romulans::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@<Overton_FCO>  CO:  I can try Captain.  They will still be able to get to us.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  Four more vessels enter the system....
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@CO: What are our chances of beaming out the Claymore crew onto the Overton and escaping back to the nebula?
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Moves back with the others toward the stairwell but stops at the wall where he had brought some of the wounded helping them toward the stairwell and grabs a weapon of the tactical officers had had on him.  As he approaches the stairwell he sees Damrok.:: CTO:  I believe you could make more use of this than me sir.  ::Offers him a disintegrator.::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
CAG: As soon as you throw it then we get out of here and regroup with Damrok.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Pulls up near Foster's position, surprised to see an unfamiliar blue-collared officer amid this melee, never mind one wielding a heavy ground weapon::  CNS:  Thank you.  ::Pauses with his group to provide cover as the rearguard fireteams start to make their way down the staircase::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@CMO:  Slim Commander.
OPS_Lt_Fong` says:
::checks something on the tricorder and swears, then begins putting the things he disassembled back together again.:: *CO* Surface to space communications operational.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  Shields fail completely on the Overton...
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@*Shipwide*:  All hands evacuate to the saucer section.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Continues to provide cover, she looks back to make sure Damrok and his fireteam made it::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Clenches her teeth:: SO/CSO: Let's go.     CO: We need as many supplies to go down with us as possible. Survival, shelter, heavy weapons, mobile shielding devices...anything you can send down with us in time.    I'll have Grand Minister Belaon meet us in the transporter room and send an updated message to T'Shara with our target coordinates.
OPS_Lt_Fong` says:
::grumbles at the lack of reply:: *All* Pass the word to T’Shara she can comm orbit via commbadge signal.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Checks the settings on the disintegrator -- not that there are many to check on a disintegrator, given its purpose -- and shoulders it, getting a lock on the largest concentration of Romulans and preparing to fire::  CNS:  I must suggest you take cover or follow the rest of the tactical detachment underground.
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Hands the disintegrator over to the commander falls back to the stairwell>::
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::as soon as the rifle is tossed, he turns quickly to the captain:: CO: I believe now's a good time to exit stage left, if you will.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Fires on wide-dispersal stun toward a large hunk of wall nearby the Romulan line::
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nods and without anything more she retreats heading for the tunnels::
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::stays on the captain's heels, not having much choice since his only weapon is now a ticking time bomb::
CNS_Ens_Foster says:
::Ducks through the door into the stairwell and takes up a position with the others.::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
ACTION:  A staticed message echoes on the Overton Bridge and over the comm badges on the planet surface:    <Admiral Smyth> COMM: Broadcast:  This is Admiral Smyth of the Starship Claymore.  You are to surrender now or face dire consequences.
OPS_Lt_Fong` says:
::pushes the last of the CTO's gear into the pack and shoulders it again looking fairly exhausted for someone who didn't take part in the firefight::
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Composes a new message, forwarding to Overton OPS: "Overton overwhelmed; evacuating as many as possible to Crontium. Coordinates to follow.":: ::Stands from her chair:: Overton_OPS: Updated message forwarded to your console, Lieutenant. ::Looks to Hawk:: SO: Ready?  ::Starts to turn to leave, but pauses as the crackling sound from the viewscreen behind her::
SO_Ens_Hawk says:
@::Looks over at the CMO::  CMO:  Claymore?
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@::Pauses hearing the new comm message.::  CMO:  Commander.  Belay that.   CTO:  Transmit our position and tactical to the Claymore.
Host CO_Capt_TShara says:
::Nears the tunnel entrance and quickly pushes in along with Williams, hearing something over a commbadge as she makes it by but can't make it out in passing.::
CAG_FL_Williams says:
::is too busy making sure the captain stays in front of him and the romulans stay behind him to even hear the message over his comm badge, not that it would have been intended for him anyway::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  Two Defiant class vessels streak past the Overton and into the planets atmosphere followed by a dozen fighters from the Claymore.
Host CTO_LtCmdr_Damrok says:
::Holds his position, firing another bolt from the isomagnetic disintegrator toward the Romulan line::
Host Captain_Sumton says:
@ACTION:  Two more Defiant class vessels take up a position behind the warbirds and the Claymore.
CMO_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
@::Turns back to the viewscreen, and a miserable desperate smile parts her lips:: ::Whispers:: Claymore.
Host Captain_Sumton says:
