ACTD Wide - Their Final Hour - USS Claymore

Their Final Hour - Mission 8 - 11305.07

Summary:  The future technologies supplied by Hsi Vat had been sent out to the rest of Starfleet in a Priority message.  The crew of the Claymore now focused on the small blip from a Starfleet Transponder.  Its location stationary in the middle of open space within the Bajoran System.

********************** Resume - ACTD Wide - Their Final Hour *************************

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::At an auxiliary station on the bridge, reviewing the history of data on the transponder signal. Her movements and attitude since arriving on the bridge have been a strange but subtle mixture of "cloud nine" and "certain doom"::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::In the main lab, looking over what specs they had and trying to see how they could use it.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::On the bridge at the TIC station, doing a long overdue status check on the flight deck::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Enters to the bridge from her ready room::  All: Report
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Sitting in his office, glad he got his leg patched up, and still thinking over what all they saw in the holodeck.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Raises a breath, then shrugs slightly:: CO: It's definitely Hsi Vat.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Or at least, his transponder.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Thank you doctor.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: How's your shoulder doing Mr. Hawk?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO: Much better, thank you Captain.  Ready to be someone else's target.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Glances at Hawk momentarily, and smiles sincerely, as if at a secret, then returns her solemn focus upon tracking the signal::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: I understand completely. What's the status of our fighters?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Flight Ops ready for your orders, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
TO: Weapons and shields status Mr. Kytides?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Bring all fighters to full readiness.  I want full load outs of all available quantum torpedoes including external loads.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Roger that, Captain  ::Begins punching in load out orders::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CTO: Have we been able to adapt Hsi Vat's technology to our sensors?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::At primary tactical, keeping a close watch for any fluctuations in local space that might indicate there are Vroa about::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes her position at the middle command::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Run a quick tactical simulation using full forward quantum torpedo load against the ground forces on Bajor.  I need to know collateral damage and potential Vroa survivability.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Holds his index finger up a moment for Raeyld, knowing she understands the situation::  CO:  Understood, Captain.  ::Brings up the simulation panel and begins entering parameters::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain.  I'll have at least two wings fully loaded out within 30 minutes.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: I need all wings fully loaded within 20.  Just make it happen Mr. Hawk.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Finally staring at it long enough, she finally realizes where she had seen a proto idea that she might be able to blend and make use with for the sensors.  Entering the parameters, she has the computer search for the research.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Rolls his eyes, but simply answers::  CO:  Aye, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: When will be our next pass along the Bajoran northern most magnetic field.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CMO:  Commander Senn may have more information on that particular subject.  I have not yet received any information.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the looked for 'paper' comes up, she taps her commbadge.::  *CNS*:  Hey... you busy?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Reviews the sensors and runs a quick calculation:: CO: At current speed, twenty-three minutes.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Sets down the notepad he'd been writing in and taps his badge.::  *CSO*: Not particularly, what's up?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO: Thank you Doctor.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CNS*:  Do you still have an engineering hat?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Place a twenty-three minute count down timer on the main viewscreen.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Runs his simulation for orbital bombardment of Bajor, shaking his head at the phrase "orbital bombardment of Bajor," then goes cold a moment as he contemplates the exigencies of a Cardassian chief tactical officer opening up a barrage of quantum torpedoes on Bajor...though, really, any personal considerations pale to the Vroa threat::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Be prepared to deploy your fighters within twenty-three minutes.  I want them hiding in the Bajoran magnetic field as we pass.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Types in the parameters of the information and then looks at how to add the Vroa technology::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Punches up the countdown timer and places it on an inset in the upper right-hand corner of the viewer::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Understood.  How many wings?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Twenty-three minutes, mark.  ::Looks down for the results of his simulation::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: All of them.  I want everything we've got.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  With respect, Captain....  you don't want to keep one wing back for defense of the Claymore?
CNS LtJG Foster says:
*CSO*:  It’s around here somewhere I'm sure.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
TO: What's the word on weapons and shield systems Lieutenant.  ::A little more stern this time::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: No, I want them to be ready to hit the Vroa.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the simulation plays out she alters some of the parameters::  *CNS*:  I may have something... primitive, but a place to start.  Join me in engineering?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Sending the data to her padd, she stands and heads out the door for engineering.::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
*CSO*:  I'm on my way.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Stands quickly from his desk, sliding the notepad into the drawer then heads for engineering.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head slightly, not envying the Captain's position here one bit.  Nor anyone's really::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the lift stops, she steps off and heads for the sensor panel, a location in engineering she knows well, pausing only long enough to tell the engineer in charge what she was up to.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::She can almost sense him rolling his eyes as she heads over to the panel and begins to log on.::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Looks up from secondary tactical::  CO:  No issue with either, Captain.  Both ready on your command.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Bringing up the blue print she inputs the data she has::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Whistles softly as the lift heads for engineering, then steps off the lift into engineering looking around for Eris.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances over at Kytides::  TO: Noted Mr. Kytides
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Looks over at T'Shara a moment, somewhat apprehensive. Obviously they're gearing up in preparation to take on the Vroa forces below...but she can't help but wonder what they'll do about the transponder, the Jarrow, and Hsi Vat. And yet, the Captain is clearly well embroiled in urgent matters::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks up with a smile and waves her hand toward the board.::  CNS:  Years ago, an engineer had an idea of incorporating Borg technology into the sensor grid.  His name was Jack something or other.  Anyways, there were some problems with it and it went by the way side as the Borg were no longer a major nuisance.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, if you want all fighters launched over the northern pole, you'll have to hold position for 8 to 10 minutes.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Acknowledged Mr. Hawk.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  If we treat the Vroa technology something like the Borg... and with some minor adaptations, I might be able to do something with the sensors to... maybe pick up their ships.  Something simple.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Stands up and moves over to Raeyld::  CMO: Is there way we can communicate with the transponder without the Vroa knowing we're doing it?
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Spots Eris as she waves at him and walks over to her listening to her as he did nodding.::  CSO:  So you're thinking since their tactical network is similar to the Borg collective we could use this idea to help jumpstart our incorporations of the tech we saw in the holodeck?
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Looks over at the blueprints.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Squints her eyes:: CO: It's only a transmitter, not a communicator, I'm afraid.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Basically, yes.  But we do not have months to perfect this... I have a sense we need it now... a month ago would have been better.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Even if we could, there's no guarantee Hsi Vat is even still alive.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Someone located near that transponder sent us a communication.  Can we trace that and figure out a way to send a signal back without the Vroa knowing we're doing it.  ::Turns to Damrok::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
CSO:  So we bypass trying to get into the tactical network for the time being and just focus on detecting their ships.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Yes... ::Turns back to stare at what she has so far.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  This original work is almost the perfect framework for what we need.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Moves a bit closer looking over the data she has pulled up.::  CSO:  It looks like we should be able to configure them reasonably quickly I think, there is some good base work done already we can go off of.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Mr. Hawk, at full impulse how long would it take your fighter wings to get from the northern magnetic field of Bajor to within close range firing distance of the transponders current location.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Pulls up what she has in mind and overlaps it.::  CNS:  What if... ::She makes some general changes::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Walks away from Raeyld and toward Hawk, looking back at the main viewer looking at the time::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  It could be possible...subspace communication is easily detectable, but an alternate means of communication, such as the infrared laser transmitter, would probably be innocuous enough to evade detection.  Since the beacon is stationary, we know where we'd need to flash the message for pickup.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::With Damrok occupied, takes over watching the sensors for anything strange, just in case the Vroa decide, uncharacteristically, to make the first move::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  The simulation has finished.  The projections indicate that approximately ninety-three percent of the Vroa forces would be vaporized in the first strike and refire.  A third strike would produce another three percent reduction.  Chance of Bajoran casualties less than one percent within five hundred kilometers, due to the remote location.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Figure 8 minutes to get within firing range, 12 to get to the actual location.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  The results are definitely promising.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Leans in and hits a few buttons.::  CSO:  That looks good, and change these sensor parameters,  ::Looks at their additions trying to see what else needs to be done.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Frowns a bit in thought at the Captain moves away. She has a bad feeling about this, but...::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CTO: Definitely Mr. Damrok
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CNS:  Ahh... and if we do that, then change this... ::Does the changes as she talks.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Moves to the front of the bridge::  All: One way or another we have to bring the fight to the Vroa.  We have a perfect opportunity for a first strike.  We know that this Vroa force is probably one of many within Federation space if the Claymore if successful in stopping the Vroa here even at the cost of the Claymore and her crew it may give Starfleet additional time to continue the fight.  What I'm proposing is a dual strike simultaneously attacking the Vroa on the planet and a massive strike against the cloaked vessels we believe are sitting within that transponder area.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Hits a few more commands mumbling as he goes.::  Self:  Reroute power here, shift scanner alignments like this.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Steps back to follow Theron's changes::  CNS:  OK...
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Steps up beside T'Shara::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks up as a shadow crosses the board to see one of the engineers watching.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: If anyone would like to voice their concerns please do so now.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Makes a few more changes before looking back at Eris.::  CSO:  Not my best work but it might work, and we are in a rush.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Very quietly:: CO: We're going to destroy the Jarrow...  ::Not quite a question or a statement:: ...with Hsi Vat on it.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Lets out a slight sigh as Jordon nods his head::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Glances at Raeyld and quietly responds::  CMO: We detected Hsi Vat's Jarrow exploding once it entered the Vroa's hanger on one of their ships.  It then exploding taking the Vroa craft with it.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CO*: Captain, we may have something... it is not... well... some alterations in the sensors might allow us to be able to see the Vroa ships.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Remains silent, for the moment::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: That's Hsi Vat's transponder. It was in him. The Jarrow may be gone, but he must be intact if the transmitter is sending.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  That doesn't mean Vat is dead.  He could have beamed out or been beamed out.  He may have even had an escape plan.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Nods to Theron and Jordon to do their thing and steps back out of the engineers way.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Realizes "intact" isn't even the right word, but at least "not exploded," if the transmitter is still functioning...though she cringes at the thoughts of the alternatives::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CMO/CAG: I understand your concern and we will try to make contact with him.  But, if we don't get a response then we have to assume he knew the risks so he's either gone, captured or excepts his fate for the mission.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CSO*: Now would be a good time to try it out Commander.  How long with the alterations take?
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Pulls up a chair and continues working on the alterations to the sensors, trying to fine tune the changes.::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, the man gave up everything to come back and try to save the entire Federation...  he lived a whole other lifetime to do that.  Don't we owe him more than just hoping he answers?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CO*:  Keep in mind, this is what one might call 'quick and dirty', and is very limited given the time we have had to work on it.  And as such, we should have it available in... ::Looks at Theron::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Just stands still, not adding anything more to the Captain for now. After all, she's a conflict of interests, to say the least. Plus, she knows - knew - knows---whichever, him::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Begin a transmission towards the transponder.  Send something simple at first even if it's just a request for transmission acknowledgment.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Hearing Eris behind him he answers while continuing to work.::  CSO:  3 minutes.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CO*:  Did you catch that?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Understood.  Sending now, Captain.  ::Sends a simple coded message over the infrared transmitter toward the transponder, a simple request for acknowledgement that takes a mere fraction of a fraction of a second to send::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CSO/CNS*: You've got three minutes.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: He gave it all up...not to see us fail. 
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks at Theron::  CNS:  Ummm... I think I might be needed on the bridge if we have only three minutes.  You got this?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CMO:  ::Almost angrily::  Who says we have to fail if we attempt to bring him back?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: What do you recommend Mr. Hawk  we send over a boarding party to a Vroa fleet searching for a transponder that may not be attached to a living thing?
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Staying focused on his work.::  CSO:  Yeah should be ready by the time you get there.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  No Captain.  But I can take the Jarrow, cloaked when you send the fighters.  In close, I can scan for his life signs and try to recover him if he's alive.  If not, then I just come back.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CO*:  On my way to the bridge...
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  The fighters will keep the Vroa occupied while I do a quick search.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Make sure we have all torpedo tubes loaded with quantum torpedoes make sure we have a second load ready.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Leaves the work to the two engineers... well, one engineer and one once engineer.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Shakes her head, her voice both calm and quiet:: CAG: The Jarrow is what they want. It's how they can impersonate us. If he indeed destroyed the other Jarrow, then we'd only be sending them a second chance.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: I'm not handing the Vroa the Jarrow nor will I hand over one of my crew.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged Commander.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the lift doors slide shut, she does a mental count down.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CAG: And we risk giving away our knowledge of their position.  The damage we can do to them while cloaked - and thus without shields - is substantial compared to what we'd do if they had a chance to raise their shields.

ACTION: A small return signal is returned to the Tactical station from the transponder area.

CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Quietly::  CO/CMO:  You both keep assuming failure.  But if it should come to that, I'll destroy the Jarrow before letting if be captured.
TO LtJG Kytides says:
::Glances up from the sensors to check the viewscreen for the countdown, tuning out the continuing debate and getting ready::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As the lift stops, she steps off and makes her way over to her station and nods to the ensign sitting there who quickly relinquishes it to her.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Understood.  ::Handles the torpedo commands himself::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Feeling himself "in the zone" he keeps his hands moving over the console working with the engineering on the changes, then finally leaning back looking over at the engineer nodding.::  *CO*:  Sensor modifications complete ready to bring them online.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CMO:  If the Captain sends the fighters to attack, I think they'll be uncloaked and busy.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: To that end, Captain, I'd suggest sending the flight wings on a secant course to the firing radius of the fleet. Make it appear the wings are merely passing by, rather than converging on their position.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Logs on:: *CNS*:  I am at science... I am ready to synch when you are.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
*CSO*:  Modifications are complete and we are ready to bring them online.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*CNS*: Noted Counselor.  Bring them online when ready.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
CO: Perhaps appearing to move to rejoin us after a pass.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Once the sensor modifications are online transfer them to the main viewscreen.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  I have an acknowledgement signal, Captain.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks over her shoulder::  CO: We should be ready soon.  Ummm... is there anything I should know?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Returns another brief signal, asking for identification and some verification of identity::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Can feel the tension around her::
FCO says:
CO: Captain we are entering Bajor's northern magnetic field.  Shall I slow for fighter launch?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks at flight and lifts a brow:: Hmmm... ::Turns back to her station.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: I plan on attacking both the Bajor ground forces and the Vroa fleet in a single strike attack.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
FCO: Yes.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Taps in a few commands as she listens to the captain.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
FCO: Begin to slow and make sure we are in the magnetic field for at least 12 minutes.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
*CSO*:  Bringing modifications online now.  ::Begins hitting a few buttons to activate the modifications.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  One ship... two fronts... ummm... I don't suppose you have a ship I don't know of?  ::Taps a command and turns around.::  And... we are online.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: If your fighters are ready Mr. Hawk begin launch now and tell them to hold position within the magnetic field.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Bites off a response::  CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Keys in the orders::  Launch in progress.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Smiles slightly::  CSO: Just fighters Commander.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Quietly settles into the XO's seat for the time being, although it more appropriately belongs to Damrok, the tactical officer is more appropriately at tactical for the moment, and the bridge lacks a real medical chair::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
TO:  Phasers on anything close.  I'll handle the torpedo launch.  ::Doesn't want Kytides to have to bear the burden in the case of civilian casualties::

ACTION: The main viewscreen flickers for a moment, then another.  The blackness of space is seen off the port side of the Claymore.  Then brief shadows begin to form.  Distant starlight is dimmed then blackened as dark and hazy Vroa vessels can be seen in the distance.  One, then three, then twenty.....  Claymore Sensors show 36 Vroa Vessels total.

ACTION: Another return message enters the tactical station.  This one with a Starfleet officers ID.

CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Sees the contacts wink into existence on the viewscreen, and his tactical computer run the count rather quickly::  CO:  Thirty-six threat vessels detected...and a return message from the transponder location.  Running an identification search.  ::Puts the Starfleet ID into the computer and waits a half-beat::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Loses her breath for a moment::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CO:  I believe you are hosting thirty-six Vroa vessels.  ::Looks concerned as she glances over at her brother::
TO LtJG Kytides says:
CTO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Brings up the phaser control, glances up to the viewscreen to refine his timing again...and freezes for a moment, before swiftly looking down again, ready to fire phasers, hell or high water::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
Outload: I...don't suppose we know enough about their cloaking technology to adapt it to hide some bombs...?
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Transmitted Starfleet ID reads as Tavish McQuade, Chief Engineer, USS Andromeda.  ::Looks up::
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Looks over at the CSO with raised eyebrows and then gives a slight shrug::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::The only way she can't think of possibly making a measurable dent in that many ships, is to surprise destroy them enmasse::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Quietly::  *CNS*:  Needs tweaking, but we can see the outline of Vroa ships.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Raises an eyebrow, looking back at Damrok:: CTO: Send a signal let him know that we plan to attack will he be able to find an escape.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
*CSO*:  I'll keep working on it now that I can see the results should be easier.  ::Leans back to the console and begins working on tweaking their modifications to get a better image.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
*CNS*:  Wrap up what you have and we will send it out.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Immediately taps out a new message informing him of the plan in brief, and asking whether he has anything to contribute, or at least a means of quick escape::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Also, Mr. Damrok the Egreg said the Vroa are dumb.  Can we send enough sensor interference to completely interfere sensor readings long enough to hide the first wave of attacks from the fighters and the Claymore?
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
CO:  Captain....  all fighters launched and holding position.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Thank you Mr. Hawk begin patching our sensor data to your fighter wings I want to make sure they see what we see.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  With the aid of the interference from the magnetic field?  Perhaps.  I'll run a few simulations and ready the deflector.
CAG FltLt Hawk says:
::Smiles tightly::  CO:  Already done, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CAG: Good work Mr. Hawk
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Whatever we can do Damrok.
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Notices his changes are making the images blur a bit more, cursing he changes the frequencies back the other direction to clear up the image.::

ACTION:  Another message comes into the Tactical station.  Claymore - About time.  I've got one last kick in the balls for the Vroa, but I need to be here for the attack.  I've signed up for this Claymore.  Just finish the job.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Glances at the doctor and then stands to head over to Damrok::  CTO:  What exactly do you want?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
*Shipwide: All hands to battle stations we will begin an attack on the Vroa both their fleet in space and in the planet surface.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Cannot manage to quell a small bit of a grin that creeps up at the corner of his mouth, then looks up::  CO:  I have routed Mister McQuade's response to your station, Captain.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Noted Mr. Damrok
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Mr. McQuade has made his decision but if we can manage to get a transporter lock onto a human signal and or the transponder during the course of these events let's at least make an effort.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  We have little to go on regarding what type of sensor interference or electronic countermeasures might be effective against the Vroa, but the Eigreg technology leads me to believe that causing multiple sensor shadows of the same vessel in different locations could be an effective tactic.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Takes her seat next to Raeyld, glances at her for a moment and then back to the viewscreen::
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Hears the captains message and quickly puts together an information packet to send out to the fleet, it still wasn't perfect but it was a place for everyone to start.::  *CSO*:  Info packet is ready to send out to the fleet about the sensor modifications.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Considers::  CTO:  Hmmm....
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Can we distract the Vroa?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Looks over toward the captain::  *CO*:  Captain, we have info pack to send on about what we have started.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Watches the viewscreen plainly for a few moments, then taps her communicator:: *MO*: Prepare sickbay for casualties. We will be engaging the Vroa.

ACTION:  Incoming encrypted priority one transmission from the USS Seleya.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO: Acknowledged Commander send it before we start the fight.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*MO*: Page all shifts.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CTO:  I think I have an idea... give me a moment... if we have one.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Goes back to her station and quickly sends the prepared package.::
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CSO:  Only a few.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  Captain, incoming priority one signal from the USS Seleya.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO: Put it through to my console here.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
::Transfers the transmission to T'Shara's console::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Reads the message::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::As soon as the packet it is out, she pulls up some data for the deflector::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
CTO:  OK... I have adapted the work we just used for what you want.  Again, it is basic.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CTO/CSO: This just came in from the Seleya it looks like they took the data that I sent them and they managed to come up with three working units.  Please make sure we start building these units and or modifying tricorders.  These should be standard tactical equipment until further notice
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Sends the data to Senn and Damrok::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns and nods to the captain::  CO:  Alright... one thing less we will have to figure out.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Nods::  CSO: Aye, Commander.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
::Turns back around::  *CNS*:  Got some info to look at...
CNS LtJG Foster says:
::Finishes what he can on the sensors.::  *CSO*:  Sure info is good, bring it on.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
All: Here we go let's make every shot count.
CTO LtCmdr Damrok says:
CO:  I'll forward this to the armory immediately.  ::Transfers the data in care of Bogshanpel, and copies the fabrication specialists in engineering::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
CSO/CTO: Deploy the main deflector modifications.
