ARC 14 - Blowing Kisses in the Wind - Mission 25 - 11404.08

Section 31 Torpedo Vessel Summary:  With the help of destruction codes all but one of the torpedo vessels are intact.  The other 5 vessels debris litters a 7 ly path across the center of the Frontier Sector.

Claymore Summary: The Claymore warped away from the away team and is headed closer to the Coordinates supplied by Commander Damrok.

Automated manufacturing Summary:  After attempting to transport the antimatter pods from the reactors into space, Commander Senn was able to remove all but 4.  However one reactor has now gone critical after a failed beam out of one of the antimatter pods.  This has left the planet with tremors.  For now the Cave system is holding, but the tremors and remaining two reactors will cause the cave and automated facilities demise.

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

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Not knowing why the transporter had transported only the antimatter pod and working against the clock, she was nervous as she worked to recalibrate the transporters, especially to deal with all the falling debris.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::On the Claymore's bridge a cup in his hand as he watches the status readouts on the operations console::

ACTION:  The Claymore arrives at the coordinates supplied by Commander Damrok.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Sits in the runabout, unnerved for the time being::  *CSO*:  Claymore is inbound and can take our cargo.  Do you trust the long-range transporters to function normally, given what just happened?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Stands on the torpedo vessel near one of the consoles, looking over the data that has come in after Kytides had sent the destruction codes::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Mutters::  *XO*:  I do not know if I trust anything at the moment.  But if we can pull off your idea, it would be so much better for these people... and I don't mind forgoing a lecture on breaking the prime directive.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks the status and signals the helmsman to drop them from warp:: *CMO* We have arrived at Commander Damrok's co-ordinates. Contacting him now.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  Agreed.  We have some time...it will be a thin margin, but I know you can do the job.  Let me know at the first sign of any further trouble; if we can remove the rest of the pods, that should solve both problems.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Opens a secured channel to the XO's previous co-ordinates:: COM: Unknown: XO: Claymore to Commander Damrok.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::Looks up at Kytides, pleased with the results::  CTO: Good work Mr. Kytides
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Laying on a bed in the emergency medical ward wondering when the docs would let him leave or if he should try and sneak out, sure there were more important things to do then lay in bed.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#COM: Claymore:  Damrok here.  What is your status?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#*XO*:  For my reward, should I succeed, I want to keep that shuttle.  I bet the captain would not complain either.  ::Trying to calm her nerves a bit with chatter as she readjusts a few controls.::  Prophets... at least they used Federation basics or this would be another story.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks around the quiet bridge and reseats the earpiece in his ear holding it in for a moment:: COM: Unknown: Damrok: We are at the designated co-ordinates.  Ship status report not available over this communications line.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Smiles a bit, and it shows in his voice::  *CSO*:  I think, if we all should succeed, we could probably negotiate with the colonel.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#COM: Claymore:  Understood.  Our situation is fluid.  I'll provide an update as soon as I'm able.  Standby.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
::The PADD in her right hand she takes it and places it in her pocket, confident that they had gotten enough data from the vessel.::  CTO/Marines: Set explosives in key areas of the ship.  Claymore left a shuttle before they departed.  I want the marines to take that back to the Claymore.  Mr. Kytides your with me we will take the Jarrow and attempt to meet up with the Claymore.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Nods to the marines to move out and heads for the door herself, checking her phaser::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks over the status board one more time, a little worry at the back of his mind that he hadn't heard back from the CMO yet, but she had said she was going to check on sickbay, and it is likely that she is occupied at the moment:: COM: Unknown: XO: Understood sir.  Standing by.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Moves out with Kytides down the corridor and back toward the Jarrow.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Takes a deep breath::  *XO*:  I hope you have not angered any of your gods, for I am about to try the next one.  Apparently, the reactors on overload have weakened the supports and are causing massive vibrations within the lower cavern... which, lucky us, they are worsening.  Not being prepared, the targeting scanners could not compensate.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  Acknowledged.  I still have a transporter lock on both you and Senezem.  I can pull you out if there's trouble.  Keep the line open, and keep me posted.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#*XO*:  How close is the Claymore?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  She's in position.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#*XO*:  If I fail, I will go to our backup plan.  Sooo... don't hit that button too soon.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Having not seen a doctor since just after he came to he glanced around again, still not spotting any he sits up and stretching carefully to see how he was feeling.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Looking carefully at the screen, her fingers doing what looks like a light tap dance, she activates the transport system.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  Understood.  You'll have all the time I can give you.  Good luck.  ::Watches the short range sensors with nervous anticipation::

#ACTION:  Another antimatter pod vanishes from the reactor chamber and materializes in space.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Stops outside of the Jarrow, looking at it for a moment and then begins to open the hatch::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Lets out the breath she had been holding.  Closing her eyes she takes a moment to just breath.  Each one gone was one threat less to those above.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Letting out a long breath she opens her eyes and begins working on getting a lock on it.::

CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::The hatch opens to the Jarrow as she slowly walks in a little cautious after what had happened to Foster and Hawk.  T'Shara pauses for a moment her hand on her weapon as she looks at the goo all over the deck and some on the consoles::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Leans back in his chair, focusing on slowing his breathing in order to remain calm...if anything else went wrong, the damage would hopefully be minimized by the reduction in the number of antimatter pods still in place::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#*XO*:  Next lock... if it fails, I will still work on the others... just much faster.  I cannot loose either way.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Begins the best scans he can get of the planet in question, trying to get a  good enough image to build a holo-rendering of at least some of it.::

#ACTION:  The second one dematerializes.....   Then explodes as the transporters release it into space.    The last of the antimatter pods begins to overheat inside the cavern as the 2nd reactor goes critical.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  Yes...no need to let up.  Every pod we remove increases our chances of success...do what you have to do.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#*XO*:  OK... another down.  I might be in trouble for the next one though... ::Talking her fingers quickly dance across the board as she locks onto the last one.::  Second reactor going critical.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Activates transporter.::

#ACTION:  The facilities ceiling begins to crumble under the weight of the cavern above.  The ground trembles under Commander Senn’s feet making it an effort to even remain standing.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks the schedules and sends out messages to the crew who requested use of the holodecks over the next few weeks. Informing them of the likely re-scheduling.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Grabbing the console she works to hold on as she tries to regain a more secure lock.  Thinking she might have it, she hits the transport beam.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  ...Understood.  ::Waits with baited breath, watching the short range board::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Sneezes as dust begins to rain from above along with some larger debris.::

#ACTION:  The transporter locks onto the antimatter pod as it begins to explode.    The transporter systems over load exploding in front of Senn.  She covers her face as the console blows her across the room.   The reactors go critical deep beneath the facility.

CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Walks over to the consoles, and attempts to press some buttons on the engineering console::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Groans as she rolls over, trying to breath::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Continues stretching feeling a slight twinge of pain in his chest but nothing too bad, he stands up from his bed, still not seeing any doctors around.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  Damrok to Senn, report.  ::Sits up, making sure he's still got throughput to the transporter enhancers, and therefore, a lock on Senn and Senezem::

#ACTION:  The facility goes dark as all systems fail from the lack of power.    The lab containment fields fail in short order.    Tremors begin cracking the floors as more ceiling materials rain down from above.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Sees a power spike on long range sensors:: Self: That is not a good sign.  ::He clears all running holodecks, and orders them evacuated immediately. He checks on the scan results, and allows the computer to begin filling in details that it does not yet have.::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Moves through the Jarrow after T'Shara, glancing briefly at the blown consoles before even blinking at the goop::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#*XO*: It's done... I would not object to leaving this place... now would be good.  ::Rolls toward a console to protect her from the raining debris.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Gets his lock on both of them and energizes, assuming from the sudden drop in power to the facility that there's nothing else to be done::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  Bringing you back now.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Her foot slips slightly from the goo on the decking.  Looks over to Kytides::  CTO: Looks like Engineering is down.  ::Looks to the other blown consoles::  And I would say tactical is down as well.

#ACTION:  Senn begins to dematerialize.  Then the transporter lock fails.    Senn materializes back within the facility.

CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Nods, and moves over to science and leans over the console, checking it quickly::  CO:  Looks it, Captain.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Mutters a curse under her breath::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Moves over to the helm station, and taps a button::  CTO: It looks like we still have helm perhaps we can reroute engineering and TAC.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#*CSO*:  Get with Senezem and check on those enhancers.  Trying again.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Nods::  CTO: Try to bring up Tactical.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Getting to her feet, she heads for the doors and exits it to stand closer to the transport enhancers.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Energizes the transporters once more::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@CO:  Science seems to be working too, Captain.  ::Leans over a bit more, working to transfer tactical to the station::  Got it.

#ACTION:  The floor fails near the doorway just as Senn passes by.  The large belch of magma streams out in a red glow.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Carefully wipes the corners of her eyes before the lift doors open, and exits the turbolift out onto the bridge, striding around in a sweeping motion toward the CO's seat:: ::With a carefully neutral tone:: OPS: Status?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Clenches her teeth as the heat from the magma aggravates the burns already on her arm from the explosion.::

CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: Good work Lieutenant.  ::Works to transfer engineering to the helm.::  Got engineering.  Now, let's see if we can get out of here and back to Claymore.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Unable to see through the heat and debris.::  TO:  Where are you?

#ACTION:  The magma continues towards Senn as another blast from deep below the facility.  Magma is thrown into the area.   Senn covers her face once again and kneels down as the magma pours into the area...

CNS Lt Foster says:
::Steadies himself standing at the side of his bed, glancing around wondering where all the doctors were. Walking carefully he decides to make a round through the medbay checking on the patients, better than just lying in his bed doing nothing.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks simply at the screen:: CMO: We are at the Commander's coordinates.  When contacted he requested that we stand by.  Turbolifts are still operating at lower efficiency, sickbay is still offline, cargo bay three is still drawing power.  Holodecks have been cleared, and programing has started.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Two choices, run from the magma or give the commander a chance.  Where else could she go?  There was no exterior exit from this place.::

#ACTION:  As the magma begins to burn through the enhancers Senn and Senezem dematerialize from the cavern.    Magma and rock explode into the room leaving no trace of the facility...

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Choses faith::

#ACTION:  Senn and Senezem materialize on the danube's transporter padds.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Swivels to face the transporter pad::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::As the beam releases her she falls to her knees, coughing from the poisonous gasses::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods, only barely noticeably distracted:: OPS:  Cargo bay three and the flight bay...or what's left of it...are preparing to handle any overflow from the holodecks. We can keep people sedated there, and rotate them through the holodecks during individual day-cycles as needed.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Places her phaser at her side as she wipes some of the goo from the helm seat and sits down.  Her hands move across the console as the hatch closes behind them and the Jarrow powers up.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::After the blue swirls finally fade, exhales a long-held breath, then quickly bolts from his chair to the nearby equipment locker for a medkit, opening it up and stuffing a vial of tri-ox in a hypospray, administering a dose to each of the two officers::

@ACTION:  The Marines have made it to the shuttle and departed.

OPS Lt Fong says:
CMO: Noted ma'am I'll make sure that the transporter rooms are standing by.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: Lieutenant we are going to need to shoot our way out.  Are you ready?
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Gives the goo spread everywhere a sharp glance before clearing it from his seat and settling in at the Science console::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
OPS: What is our max evacuation rate?
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Kneels down before them both::  CSO:  ...Are you all right?  ::Takes some further tricorder readings
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Finally sort of settles into the Captain's chair, but does so rather tentatively, perched somewhat on the edge of the seat::

ACTION:  The shuttle containing the Marines notifies the Claymore it is enroute back to the Claymore.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Her eyes try to remove any foreign object through tears.  As the trioxide takes effect, she is able to breath a bit better.  But only nods to Damrok::
OPS Lt Fong says:
CMO: At peak operating efficiency, roughly five point eight persons per minute.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Blinks:: OPS: Ship-wide?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::After a moment::  XO:  Your idea worked.  They should be relatively safe...  able to survive and continue forward without our interference.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Flips the tricorder closed::  CSO:  I'm going to lift us off.  We'll take another look in a minute.  ::Leaves the vial in the medkit and moves back to his console, firing up the thrusters to start their ascent::
OPS Lt Fong says:
CMO: If we bring in the shuttles we may be able to swing that up to eight point three persons per minute.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Nods, frowning:: OPS: Make the arrangements.  Also, how close is the Claymore to "peak efficiency"?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Nods and looks over to her crewmate::  TO:  You good?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Hits a control on the chair arm:: *CNS*: Raeyld to Foster.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: Whenever you are ready Lieutenant.  I don't know how long we have on the explosives
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks at the CMO wordlessly then turns back to his console:: *TIC* Please prep all available shuttle craft for emergency transporter usage.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Sends a message to call up all off duty operations personnel who are not on sleep cycles and have them report to transporter rooms or the flight deck.::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Taps his commbadge wincing slightly his chest still a bit tender.::  *CMO*:  Foster here.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Stumbles to her feet and makes her way to a seat to buckle in.::
TO Ens Senezem says:
#::Continues breathing just a little easier, adding lava to the things encountered while on this ship::  CSO:  Yes sir.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Nods her head::  TO:  This should be an interesting story to tell.  ::Coughs hard.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::After standard clearance from the surface, engages the impulse engines for the rest of the trip clear of the exosphere::  COM: Claymore:  Damrok here.  Disaster seems to be averted, for the time being.  We have to get back to where we came from...I'll check in as soon as I can.  Can't say more even over a secure channel.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CNS*: Have you been updated on the situation regarding the large number of refugees we're preparing to take on?
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Frowns.::  *CMO*:  No doctor, just came out of surgery a bit ago.  How many people are we talking about?  What do you need me to do?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Catching Damrok's message she lies back and closes her eyes.  She so wanted to see her family.::

@ACTION:  The Jarrow’s thrusters fire.   The vessel hovers just inches from the deck and turns to face the outer bay doors.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Listens to the message and begins canceling orders:: CMO: Commander Damrok reports disaster averted, ma'am.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Opens fire on the doors in front of them with phasers, hoping the Jarrow can make an exit fast::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CNS*: Pushing our evacuation capacity, and there's a Prime Directive situation involved, so they can't know they're on a starship while they're--- ::Tilts her head toward Fong:: ---Hang on a moment, Counselor.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Forcing herself to relax so she can just breath she waits.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Charts a course at cruising warp for the base, making sure the quasi-cloak is online, and engages, double-checking the autopilot before swiveling out of his chair and moving back toward Senn::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Sitting at the helm she turns the Jarrow, watching for an opening::
TO Ens Senezem says:
#CSO:  That's for sure.  ::Breathing finally settles down some::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#CSO/TO:  How are you?  ::Kneels down again, flipping the tricorder open::

@ACTION:  The Doors explode out into space leaving a nice size opening for the Jarrow.

CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#XO:  Abrasions and contusions.  I have burns on my arms.  ::She opens her eyes to turn them to better look at them, not that she really wanted to see the damage.::  Nothing major.  In otherwords, I do not think ye can kill me by helping. ::Smiles wryly::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Draws a breath:: OPS: Any more detail than that? Do they need anything more of us?

ACTION: (All Three Vessels):  A large contact appears on Short Range Sensors.   The USS Conqueror warps in near the last torpedo ship as it begins to explode.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Sighs slightly:: CMO: No ma'am...he says he cannot say more over this channel, and that he is going back where he came from.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#CSO:  Well...let's not get ahead of ourselves.  ::Smiles a moment, then reaches for the analgesic and the dermal regenerator as the sensors beep a warning::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: Good work Lieutenant.  ::Watches as the doors explode, her hand quickly maneuvers the Jarrow away from the exploding vessel.::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Looks toward the main console and starts to stand.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Administers a mild dose of the analgesic to Senn and Senezem both as he also stands, moving back to the helm::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Makes no outward response:: CMO: New short range contact, identified USS Conqueror.  Near the Captain's location ma'am.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Takes the co-pilots seat, feeling the pain ease for now and pulls up sensors.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Manages to sit somehow straighter, as her pulse jumps through her ears, momentarily deafening her:: All: Red Alert!
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::She looks up at the screen in front of them and turns back to Kytides::  CTO: Sensors indicate that is the Conqueror.

@ACTION:  The Conqueror opens fire as the Jarrow exits the exploding torpedo vessel.   Phaser bursts blow through the torpedo vessels hull barely missing the Jarrow.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
FCO: Set course for the Captain's shuttle and engage immediately, maximum warp.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Leans against a nearby bed waiting for more from the CMO the stands quickly as the red alert sounds through the ship.:: 
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CNS*: Counselor, if you can be spared, I need a personal update on the situation on the ship you were beamed from. And notify sickbay to prepare for casualties.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Signals shipwide red alert, and for the TIC to prepare the alert fighters.::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Blinks and bites his tongue to prevent a curse at the phaser fire, glancing to the Captain::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Glances to the short range sensors a last time, then drops from warp, swinging about and charting a new course toward the Claymore's location::  CSO/TO:  Change of plans.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#CSO:  See if you can raise Stiegler.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Nods::  CTO: Aye, Lieutenant.  Charting a course toward the Claymore.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Simply nods, preparing for... who knew what next.  But she would have a nice long nap later.  An image of being curled around Theron came to mind.::
FCO Lawrence says:
CMO: Aye ma'am. Laying course...engaging at maximum warp.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#XO: The Jarrow is in tact.
CNS Lt Foster says:
 *CMO*:  In the medbay now and will let them know to get ready.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Her hand slides across the console not waiting for another blast she quickly takes the Jarrow to warp trying to get them to the Claymore.::  CTO: Jumping to warp
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
*CNS*: Good. Will see you on the bridge shortly.
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Pulls up a tactical layout on screen displaying ship locations and targeting lines::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#XO: We are four light years from the firing vessel.  Unless you plan to use us for a distraction, the Jarrow will make it to the Claymore before we get half way there.

XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#CSO:  Do you think we would be better served by returning to base?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Shakes her head::  XO:  Picking up about 140 torpedoes on short range sensors.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@CO:  Aye, Captain.  ::Keeps a watch on the sensors for any more trouble or the Conqueror focusing on them a bit more exclusively with the torpedo ship out of the way::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
# XO: Make that two-hundred and ten.  The day just gets better.  ::Frowns::  or are we into tomorrow yet?
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Sort of squints as she looks up at the tactical layout, looks over at the empty tactical station, then back to the tactical layout, her heart sinking:: OPS: Those are...torpedoes....Equipped with the thaleron radiation?
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Works on getting a general direction of where they are headed for.::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: Is the Conqueror following that you can tell on sensors?

@ACTION:  The USS Conqueror jumps to warp following the Jarrow.

OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks status:: CMO: Forward torpedo tubes report photons loaded and ready.  Phaser arrays charged, and shields at one hundred percent.  That is correct ma'am.
CNS Lt Foster says:
*CMO*:  Cya shortly.  ::Walks quickly finding a doctor and letting know about possible incoming before quickly moving to find a uniform of some sort to replace the one of his that had a hole burned through the chest before moving to the lift and ordering it to the bridge.::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Absently:  CSO:  I lost track.  ::Checks some estimated-time-of-arrival calculations::  We could attempt to intercept the torpedoes, instead, if we think Claymore can handle itself.  If Conqueror moves to intercept. they'll have their hands full.
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Bites off another curse, wincing::  CTO:  They are, Captain.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Fong's report sort of filters through her brain, and she swallows, once, painfully, as her heart crumples into a knot within her chest::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#XO:  Oh... we get to be target practice?  If so, I hope this ship is faster than they are.
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Pulls uncomfortably at the oversized uniform he was able to find as he waits for the lift to reach the bridge.::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Suddenly jumps toward to the FCO's console, leaning over his shoulder:: FCO: Lay in this course.... ::Taps at the console:: ...and transmit this one to the Jarrow. 
OPS Lt Fong says:
CMO: Hull integrity is currently at ninety-eight percent. Would you like to deploy the Poly::looks at the acronym::....The armor?
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@::Taking a breath::  CTO: Acknowledged.  ::Begins evasive maneuvers alpha 4325::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
FCO: It'll bring us into line, we can coordinate warp, and try an at-warp docking maneuver, if necessary, to bring them in, without giving the Conqueror too easy a shot at us.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#XO:  The torpedoes are heading across the Frontier sector.  ::Looks over at him::  They cannot succeed.

CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Inhales quickly:: OPS: Yes.  ::Perhaps too quickly::
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: Can you detect anything on sensors that we can use to our advantage, debris field, nebula?
FCO Lawrence says:
CMO: ...Can we -do- that?
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@::Searches about the sensor readings for anything to hide in or dodge through::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
# XO:  We may have nightmares for decades from them, but saying they are all bad is like saying all your people or all my people are bad.  It is not true.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
FCO: If we match velocities perfectly, we can try. Send it.
FCO Lawrence says:
CMO: Yes ma'am.  ::Transmits the indicated flight path, along with a copy of Claymore's, to the Jarrow::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Checks the status board again:: CMO: Alert fighters are ready...I'll inform the TIC to stand by for an incoming hot landing.  ::Deploys the armor::
CNS Lt Foster says:
::Steps out of the lift moving toward the center of the bridge waiting to let the doctor know he was there since she was busy with something.::
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Opens a message to the TIC advising them of the CMO's plan for an at-warp landing::
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Puts on the screen the path of the torpedoes and the planets in their path.::  XO:  Those worlds are populated, and not just by Vroa.
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#CSO:  Then I think we are in agreement.  ::Adjusts course slightly, toward the torpedoes::
CTO Lt Kytides says:
@CO:  Nothing we can get to fast enough, Captain.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#XO:  I don't suppose you have any interesting plans in mind?  ::Smiles wryly::
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
OPS: All tubes are loaded?  ::Feels like she's should already know that, that he must've already told her, yet suddenly concerned that she doesn't recall::
XO LtCmdr Damrok says:
#::Disables the communications software, intending to observe radio silence the rest of the way::  CSO:  ...If only.  ::After a few more presses of the buttons, the interior lights dim::  We're going dark.  No transmissions in or out.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: Noted Lieutenant.  Keep tracking sensors in case you find anything.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
#::Nods::
OPS Lt Fong says:
CMO: Photons in all tubes. Ma'am.
CMO Cmdr Raeyld says:
::Feels the time seem to crawl by:: OPS: ...Do we have any idea if there are yet more torpedo ships? Or is only the Conqueror left?
OPS Lt Fong says:
::Looks at the CMO for a moment, taking his eyes off the console:: CMO: We haven't detected any others, yet.
CO Capt T’Shara says:
@CTO: See if you can engage the Jarrow's cloak.
CSO Cmdr Senn says:
