Let The Die be Cast! - Mission 8 - 11208.21

Summary:  Twenty four long hours have passed at warp 9.8.  The Claymore was now one hour from the edge of Breen Space.  Their decoys burnt out twelve hours ago and now sensors indicated the Breen where now aware of the real Claymore and closing in…

************************ Resume Mission ***************************

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Sitting in the command chair, staring at the screen and the small diagram near the upper right hand corner marking the probes and Breen ship.  On her lap sits a forgotten padd.::
SO Lt Zar says:
::On the bridge, monitoring the three probes and keeping a close eye on the Breen ship in their general vicinity.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::At primary tactical, keeping a close eye on the long range sensor boards::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::On the floor of her quarters, kneeling before a small, flickering lamp on the deck::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO: I would be a lot happier if those ships were pointed elsewhere.  In your opinion, are we a target or just bad timing for my comfort of mind?
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Finishes his latest batch of reports on the POWs and leaves his office and enters the turbolift.::  Computer: Bridge.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  Seems rather likely we're a target, I'm afraid, given the heading and speed.  ::Double-checks the time-to-intercept::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO:  I can think of far better ways to start my day.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Turns around to look at Damrok for more information.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Murmurs softly under her breath::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sits kneeled on the pillow on the floor in her quarters, eyes closed as she meditates.  The room is only lit by a candle::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Exits the lift onto the bridge, stepping down to the command area.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  The time-to-intercept of the nearest contact would appear to be about three hours -- outside Breen territory, but I doubt that will necessarily encourage them to break off.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO: How long before we enter Federation territory?
TO Ens Kytides says:
::In the CTO office, propping his head up and yawning while taking a break from checking in with POWs::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  Roughly a day and a half.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Continues her meditation, taking in the quiet::

ACTION:  SRS Contact - Two Breen Heavy Cruisers emerge from the Sepa Par Nebula.   Weapons range within 3 minutes.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO:  Not soon enough for us.  Alright.  It is highly unlikely we can fight that many ships even if we wanted to.  Any options?
SO Lt Zar says:
CSO/CTO:  I am picking up two Breen heavy cruisers emerging from the Sepa Par Nebula.  Three minutes...
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Holds up a hand::  CSO:  Two new contacts emerging from the nebula, Commander.  Three minutes until contact.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Sits up::  Take us to Red Alert.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Toggles the button for Red Alert::

ACTION:  Red Alert echoes throughout the Claymore

CNS Ens Foster says:
::Takes his seat next to Senn::  CSO:   Looks like I picked a bad time to come to be bridge.  ::Turns to look at the viewscreen.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
OPS:  Contact engineering to prepare for battle.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Depends on how you look at it.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Jumps at the sound of the Red Alert.  Quickly swings out of bed, grabbing for clothes::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  Arming torpedoes.  ::Begins loading photons to all launchers::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*CAG*: Prepare to deploy.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
SO:  Are they armed?
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Blinks as she hears the red alert sound through the ship.  Closes her eyes for the briefest second::
CNS Ens Foster says:
CSO:  Guess it was hoping for too much to easily slip out undetected.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  Both vessels have weapons hot.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CNS:  I thought counselors lived on hope.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::After throwing on a uniform, races for the bridge::  *CSO*  Acknowledged
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
OPS:  Contact the Breen vessel.
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Looks up, head no longer needing his hand to keep from tilting over, and checks the situation from the desk, resisting the urge to grind his teeth::

ACTION:  Breen Vessels open fire with torpedoes.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
FCO:  Evasive maneuvers.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO:  Fire back
CNS Ens Foster says:
CSO:  It does help, you should try it.
DCAG says:
*<DCAG>*  Gillian, flight deck status
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Catches a quick breath and jumps to her feet, jumping into her uniform and snatching the jacket from a hook on the wall as she strides out the door::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Slides into turbolift::  Bridge
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  Torpedoes on their way, about a minute out.  ::Switches phasers to point-defense::  Returning fire.  ::Launches a couple of ten torpedo salvos as a cursory opening strike::

ACTION:  The Breen Torpedoes separate into multiple warheads.

aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steps into the nearest turbolift:: TL: Bridge, command expedite authorized.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Watching the screen::  FCO:  Take us along Z zenith.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Her eyes quickly open at the sounds of red alert.  She quickly stands and gets into her uniform.  Blowing out the candle she exits the quarters out of habit to head for the bridge::
FCO says:
CSO:  Aye ma'am ::Moves her hands along the nav controls.::
DCAG Gillian says:
*CAG*:  Flight Deck at Red Alert.  One squadron ready to launch, 2nd at t - 3.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steps out of the turbolift and onto the bridge, striding over next to Senn::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
SO:  Is there anything in the area that we can use as a defense?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps into the turbolift::  TL: Bridge  ::Straightens her uniform::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Selects a couple of torpedoes on maximum yield and proximity detonation, and launches three, attempting to splash some of the incoming torpedoes::

ACTION:  Multiple impacts hit the Claymore's shields.   The Breen weapon causes massive energy overloads across the shield grid.   All shields drop....

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Turbolift opens, he moves across the bridge to his station::  CSO:  First fighter Squadron Ready to launch
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Noting the commander, she starts to stand only to find herself back into the chair.::  aCO:  The obvious, two Breen ship attacking.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::As she sees the indicators that shields have fallen, she pulls her phaser, listening to Senn's status report::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Grips his armrest as the ship takes a hit.::
SO Lt Zar says:
CSO:  Shields down.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Shakes her head::  No choice... FCO:  Take us into the nebular.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Steps out onto the bridge, she grabs a hold of the nearest console as the ship rocks from the hit::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*Engineering*;  Redirect power to the shields.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Makes her way out of the chair for one of the captains to take over.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Checks estimated time until they'll have a minimum shield charge back, and fires another salvo of ten torpedoes on direct fire::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Straightens up and waits for Raeyld to take her chair, listening for now::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  Damrok to tactical offices.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks at Sky and nods.::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Holds on to the desk as he stands, just in case they get hit again, then hits his commbadge::  *CTO*: Kytides here, Sir.

ACTION:  Breen vessels fire another round of torpedoes at the Claymore as they move behind the Claymore in pursuit.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
*TO*:  Shields are down.  All tactical personnel prepare to repel boarders.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Targets another volley of proximity detonation torpedoes -- about eight, this time -- trying to intercept as many incoming projectiles as he can::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Reaches down to the storage compartment on the console and arms himself with a hand phaser, per Red Alert protocol::

ACTION:  Breen Torpedoes break into multiple warheads - ETA less than 1 min to impact.

SO Lt Zar says:
All:  Impact in one minute...
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
FCO:  We need to see some of your fancy flying... anytime now would help.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Grumbles a bit, firing several more torpedoes at a wider dispersal, needing more coverage as the incoming projectiles begin to split into stages::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Grabs a hold of the railing and braces for impact.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looking at Raeyld as she turns toward Zar::  SO:  Tell us about the nebula.
TO Ens Kytides says:
*CTO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::Leans over and relays the order to all tactical personnel, then moves carefully out through the tactical offices while checking his phaser::

ACTION:  Proximity detonation by the Claymore's torpedoes clear out a major portion of the warheads.   But some get through.   They impact the Claymore's Port side nacelle and Engineering hull.  The impact throws the Claymore violently from warp.  Multiple hull breeches are reported.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Having started toward science, she finds herself on the floor with someone comfortably under her.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Trying to get up, she notices it is Theron and blushes slightly::  CNS:  Sorry...

ACTION:  The Claymore tumbles out of warp as inertial dampening fields struggle to keep up.   Bodies all over the claymore are thrown.

SO Lt Zar says:
CSO:  The nebula is unstable.  The radiation high enough to kill our crew within a couple of hours without shields.

ACTION:  Breen Vessels drop from warp aft of the Claymore.

CNS Ens Foster says:
::Smiles::  CSO:  Its ok I can think of worse things to happen.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Finds herself flung up into the air, then down onto the deck::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Thrown from his feet, tucking and rolling a fair distance across the deck...bruised from impact, but otherwise all right::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Shakes her head at Theron::  CNS:  Thanks... I think.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*Engineering*:  How long before shields are up?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Slams against his console, then to the ground from the impact. Slowly getting up, touches the gash on his head and brings his hand down with blood on it.  Mutters::  This is getting old really fast.  ::Struggles to his feet::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Quickly scrambles to her chair, the thunking almost serving to snap her back into the moment:: FCO: Just..keep us going. Full impulse out of Breen space.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Her knuckles white from the grasp on the railing.  She lets go looking around::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: We're at sublight speeds. Launch two squadrons. Buy us some time.

ACTION: Emergency systems confirm emergency fields are up on decks 14 - 17 and Port Cat Deck A -  D.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::A bit shaky::  aCO:  Captain...  I have two squadrons ready to launch.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Do it.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Smiles a bit::  aCO:  Aye ma'am
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::As he realizes they must be out of warp, quickly reaches for his hand phaser and checks the settings before he even bothers scrambling to his feet...once he's ensured it's on heavy stun, kneels and then stands, heading for the primary tactical console again::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::With Raeyld taking command, she turns for the science station.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances to T'Shara::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Curses not so quietly as he collects himself off the floor, glad he was walking carefully at least, and moves to get a close-quarters rifle before leaving the office::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Slams his hand down on the launch control, sending the signal to the flight deck to launch::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
Bridge: Prepare to repel boarders.
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Gets up and moves back toward his seat flashing a grin at Senn as she moves toward the science station.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Moves to the weapon locker and quickly grabs a phaser for herself, Zar and Theron.::

ACTION:  Fighters begin to fire from the forward launch bays in threes.  They quickly turn under the Claymore and move in to intercept the Breen Cruisers.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks to Raeyld, holding her position until needed::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Catch  :: Tosses the phaser toward him as she moves to hand Zar one.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*Flight Leaders*  Javelins, engage the target marked Breen 1.  Stormbreakers, Breen 2
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*Flight Leaders*  All weapons free
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Grabs the phaser tossed to him.::  CSO:  Thanks.
TO3 Ens Arellana says:
::Arrives on the bridge, fresh from cargo bay detail::  CTO:  Reporting for duty, Sir.  Got word from Ensign Kytides.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods:: CO: I'm open to suggestions, Captain.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Looks at him with a bit of mischief.::  CNS:  You do remember how to use that, right?  ::Without further words, logs onto science as Zar steps over to the auxiliary one.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO3:  Take secondary tactical.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*DCAG* Get a third squad prepped for launch.  We'll keep the fourth in reserve.

ACTION:  Breen Fighters Deploy.

CNS Ens Foster says:
::Finds himself with an impulse to shoot Senn to show her he remembers but refrains himself.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
All:  Breen fighters deploying.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
aCO:  Captain, the Breen have launched fighters.  Recommend we launch another squadron to engage.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
aCO: Keep us pointed to open space at full impulse.  Use all the fighters to by us time.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
aCO:  About twenty minutes until shields will be back online.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods to T'Shara:: CAG: Launch remaining fighters as ready.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
aCO:  Aye
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
All:  I am reading thirty-six.

ACTION:  Breen heavy cruisers open fire on the fighters.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*DCAG*  Launch the third squad
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Targets Breen 1 with a full salvo of torpedoes from the aft launcher, waits a few seconds to ensure the active fighters are clear, and fires::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Watches the main viewscreen, still standing near the railing::
TO Ens Kytides says:
::Readies the carbine as he moves through the halls to get to the nearest patrol route, since the bridge should have enough at tactical by now::

ACTION = SRS pick up 3 unknown contacts approaching at warp 9.8 on an intercept course with the Claymore = ETA 10 min.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Glances at the screen to see whatever one else can.::  All:  Breen firing on our fighters.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
OPS: If we launched shuttles, could we patch their shields through our deflector array, providing the Claymore more protection?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Keys in commands to the Javelins and Stormbreakers to commence torpedo runs on the Breen ships::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Looks over his shoulder as two other security officers arrive on their posts on the bridge::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO/CTO:  I am picking up three unknown vessels on approach... ETA about ten minutes.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*Flight Leaders*  Lightning squad, engage enemy fighters, provide cover for Javelin and Stormbreakers

ACTION:  Breen Cruisers fire a massive pulse wave.  Knocking out all incoming torpedoes.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Swears silently, changes orders for Javelins and Stormbreakers to commence strafing phaser runs, concentrating on weapons first, then engines::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO:  Something is blocking their signal.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
FCO: Time to clear space?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Grumbles again::  aCO:  The cruisers have used a pulse weapon to disable our torpedoes.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CSO: Approach bearing?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Her fingers dance along the console as she works on what is preventing a full telemetry reading.::  aCO:  From Federation space.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*DCAG* Launch the 4th squad
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO3:  Switch dorsal phasers to direct fire mode and target to support our fighters.
TO3 Ens Arellano says:
CTO:  Ayesir.  ::Uses the dorsal phasers to target and fire on Breen fighters in short bursts::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*Flight Leaders*  All squadrons continue assigned task.  Reaper squadron, join Lightning and engage Breen fighters

ACTION:  Breen Cruisers fire another round of torpedoes at the Claymore as their disruptors destroy two Fighters.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  The interference is not natural.  It is from those vessels themselves.  Two options.  They do not want us to know who they are, they do not want the Breen to know who they are.  If the later, we may have help.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Single fires torpedoes to intercept, hoping to pick them all off, this time::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CSO: Noted.   FCO: The moment we're out of Breen space, adjust course to take us right at Senn's three ship signatures.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Watches listening as the senior officers work together.::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CSO: Either they're help or not...but without warp, we haven't a hope at outrunning them...But maybe we can take advantage of the interference to bluff the Breen.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
aCO:  All squadrons launched, ma'am

ACTION:  Three torpedoes impact the incoming Breen weapons.  The fourth splits into multiple war heads.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
All:  Torpedoes incoming.  Attempting to intercept, but brace for impact.  Arrival in less than one minute.  ::Fires again on proximity detonation, and hopes the ventral phasers clear up the rest::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Glances over at Sky and notes he is bleeding.  But as he seems to be able to function, she says nothing.  Another glance at Theron shows her he is fine.::

ACTION:  Breen fighters begin to engage the Claymore's fighters.  A massive dog fight breaks out between the Claymore and the Breen Vessels.

aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Noted.   CTO: If you can figure out the minimum time between their pulses, we might stagger torpedo launch, so that some always slip through between pulses.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Tightens her grip once again on the railing, ready for impact::
TO3 Ens Arellano says:
::Continues burst fire on the nearest hostile fighters, trying to give their own squadrons some breathing room::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Gripping the armrests of his chair to brace himself he watches the viewscreen.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Can the fighters help intercept incoming torpedoes?

ACTION:  Warheads explode outside the Claymores hull from proximity detonation and ventral phaser arrays.   Two war heads escape slamming into the aft torpedo sail and splitting it into two.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
aCO:  I can pull a squad back to defend Claymore.  But that will leave the remaining fighters badly outnumbered.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Thirty-six to thirty-six?

ACTION:  Massive matter anti matter explosions are heard from the Torpedo sail as it explodes above the Claymore.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Instinctively looks upward.::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
aCO:  24 are engaged with the Breen cruisers.  That would leave 12 to engage the 36 fighters
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Hears the explosions above her and looks up::

ACTION:  The Claymore exits Breen Space with fighters and two Breen Heavy cruisers close behind.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Rocks a bit with the impact, and immediately sees his aft torpedo controls go offline::  aCO:  Two hits...the aft launchers have been completely destroyed.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Clutches the armrests as she hears Damrok's report. Blinks hard::  CAG: Pull them back, focus engagement on fighters and torpedo interception.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
aCO:  We've lost some of our torpedo complement in the resulting explosions, as well.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Hears the CTO's report::  aCO:  That might make it a moot point.  I'll pull them back
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CAG:  Suggest a fighting retreat.  We'll devote the phasers to cover.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  We have left Breen Space.  Unfortunately we have taken some unwanted guests with us.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CTO: Noted. Coordinate with CAG.
Col Ewald Stiegler says:
COMM:  USS Claymore: This is Colonel Stiegler.   Can we be of assistance?
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Orders Javelin and Stormbringer to disengage the cruisers, and engage the fighters, orders Lightning and Reaper into a CAP mode to defend Claymore::

ACTION:  Three Akira class vessels show up on SRS.

CAG Cdt Hawk says:
CTO:  Understood.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Sighs::  All:  Three Akira class vessels.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CSO: Yes, but...  ::Closes her eyes a brief moment as she hears the voice over the comm...if she had been standing, she wouldn't be now::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Routes the transmission through to the screen::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Signals Javelin and Stormbreakers to stay not get drawn back to Breen space::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO3:  Employ all phasers to cover our fighters as they withdraw.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
COMM: Stiegler: Absolutely, Colonel. We place ourselves in your hands.

ACTION:  An older Man in his 50s appears on the screen wearing a Blue Starfleet Fighter Command Uniform.

CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO:  Either we owe the Admiral some thanks or Marcus some wine.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Looks up, startled.  Stiegler?::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
FCO: Pulls us in behind Stiegler's ships.
Col Ewald Stiegler says:
COMM:  USS Claymore: Roger that Claymore.  We will find out what our friends intentions are out here in open space.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Orders all squadrons to pull back with the Claymore::

ACTION: 144 new contacts show up on SRS.

aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Somehow clutches the armrests all the tighter, her knuckles turning white::
CNS Ens Foster says:
::Relaxes his grip as the cavalry arrives.::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
CTO:  I am picking up a hundred and forty-four energy signatures.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
*DCAG*  Warren...  coordinate recovery of Javelin and Stormbreaker.  Keep Lighting and Reaper on CAP.  Reload and rearm Javelin and Strombreaker and make them ready for launch.  Move!
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Bows her head slightly at Stiegler's words.  She glances slightly over at Senn's comment::
Col Ewald Stiegler says:
COMM:  Breen Vessels:  Breen Heavy Cruisers.   You are in open space firing on one of our vessels.   Do you with to continue this attack?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Smiles::  All:  All fighters.

ACTION:  Breen Vessels begin to turn away from the Claymore.  Their fighters break away from the fighting and return to the cruisers.

Col Ewald Stiegler says:
COMM:  USS Claymore: I'm sorry to inform you Claymore the Breen do not seem to want to continue.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Grins and mutters::  Oh damn
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
aCO/CTO:  Breen vessels turning away, heading toward their space.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Takes a deep breath, something catching in her throat::  Stiegler: A shame, I'm sure. If you're headed our way, might we accompany you?
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
*Engineering*  Damage report, please.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
SO:  Zar, check for our ship hugger.
SO Lt Zar says:
::Nods and runs a scan.::
Col Ewald Stiegler says:
COMM:  USS Claymore: We can make sure you get to the Thro Tal System, but this task group is a little ways away from their normal patrol route.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Releases her hands from the railing::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sighs, only allowing himself to dwell on their fate without the torpedo sail and reinforcements for a spare moment before beginning to compile a damage report::  *TO*:  ...Cancel repel boarders.  The Breen have disengaged; friendly reinforcements have arrived.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Shoots a wide eye look at Raeyld, before quickly masking it and staying busy with his console.  Stiegler within beaming range?  Shoot me now::
SO Lt Zar says:
CSO:  Apparently flights maneuvers spared it.  It is untouched.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Nods::
Col Ewald Stiegler says:
COMM:  USS Claymore: If I may Commander.  I would like permission to come aboard.  I was on my way to Deep Space 9 anyways.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
COM: Stiegler: We would be obliged.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Nods to himself... yep... dead man::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
COM: Stiegler: Of course.  ::Glances at Hawk the tiniest second, but her expression remains neutral:: I believe you should have no trouble beaming aboard.
Col Ewald Stiegler says:
COMM:  USS Claymore: I will be onboard in twenty minutes Commander.

ACTION:  The Three Akiras take up positions around the Claymore as all fighters begin to return to their support crafts.

aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
COM: Stiegler: Noted.  Claymore out.
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CTO: Stand down Red Alert.
TO Ens Kytides says:
*CTO*:  Aye, Sir.  ::Slings the carbine over his shoulder so he can pull out his PADD and set about cancelling the patrols::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: Withdraw fighters.
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Standard procedure, contacts her people and has them out and helping where they are needed and can do the most amount of good.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
aCO:  Aye.  All:  Condition green.  ::Taps the button::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks at Raeyld with a nod::
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Straightens his shoulders::  aCO:  We lost two fighters in the engagement, Captain. 2 squadrons already recovered, we'll recover the rest.
CAG Cdt Hawk says:
::Punches in commands and orders Lighting and Reaper to land::
aCO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods back to T'Shara::  CAG: Noted...  stands from the CO's chair::  CSO: Commander, you have the bridge.  ::Stands and strides into the Ready Room::
CSO LtCmdr Senn says:
::Taps in a quick comment to Sky::  CAG:  Well, little brother, I have my phaser, do you want me to defend you?
