Host JamesH says:
Summary: Out of the frying pan, into the fire. Claymore survived its trip through whatever that was, only to be met by an unwelcoming welcoming committee. And reinforcements. Claymore's or theirs? Good question.

Whose side are they on? Whose side should Claymore be on? What sides are there? Hell, are there sides?

Star Trek: A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Claymore in: "The Long Night"

Episode 3: "Twilight" (12102.20)

TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: On the bridge assisting in possible ways to get out of the current situation with minimal damage... though just getting out of it would be nice.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Contrary to his usual inclination, sits further back in his chair instead of getting to his feet, not eager to be standing for whatever happens next::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Grabs one of the larger med kits and heads out the door toward the TL::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looking over the CMO and MO at the chair:: Chair: Don't you even start.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<MO3_Ens_Jeyina> :: assisting in medical::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::As the TL arrives, she enters:: TL: Deck nine.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::continues to analyze the data on the temporal anomaly and is awaiting results from her Vulcan colleague on determining the Claymore's current place in the fourth dimension, but is trying not to do too much scanning since the ship's power is actively being drained::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  Mister Hawk, take us to red alert.  ::Glances over to Davis::  Let me know if the shields show signs of trouble.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> :: On the bridge working through the ship’s current location... and time?::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Five of the craft break off from the Claymore, heading for the Twilight.
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues to make her way around deck four::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Sounds Red Alert::  Phasers online, torpedoes ready, sir.
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Red alert sounds throughout the ship. Shields continue to register impacts from the remaining ten ships. Power output remains at 54%.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<MO3_Ens_Jeyina> :: looks up with a touch of fear as the red alert sounded.  What now?::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Exits the TL as it stops on deck nine, and makes her way to the flight deck at a jog::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Glances over at the shields... still holding.::

CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
CO/CTO: I would advise caution with the torpedoes around that anomaly. Antimatter and chronitons do not mix well. The reactions could be violent and unpredictable.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::notes the lighting change then looks over his console quietly::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CSO:  Acknowledged.  CTO:  Tactical, let's use phasers only.  Target selection is at your discretion.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: notes the crafts heading for the Twilight.::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CSO:  Noted...  on the flip side, having your power run down to zero is bad, too.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Steps back over to Fong:: OPS: Don't worry, he's gonna stay right there. We've got most of your leg patched up so we should be able to get you out of here pretty fast.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO/XO:  Twilight is arming weapons and raising shields.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: looks down to his right hip quickly pats his disruptor – Becky's still there... we had the best times ::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Enters the flight deck and looks around for the injured crewman::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches as the alert klaxon sounds and the lights shift to red, then looks back to his console and fiddles with it for a moment, bringing up defensive systems::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
FCO:  Mister T'alin, pick a gap.  Let's go.  ::Folds his left leg over his right::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::nods to the CTO who makes a good point::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> :: something catches his eye, and he reads through the data::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Claymore power drops sharply. Now at 21%. Meanwhile, Twilight engages with the other five.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looks at the red alert lighting, and his eyes clear a bit more, he blinks a few times:: CMO: It doesn't have to be perfect. I'll be back once...whatever is going on stops. ::he makes a vague hand gesture towards the lighting::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Seeing someone wave her over, she makes her way, coming up to Crewman Booker::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> Aloud: Power showing now twenty-one percent....
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO:  If we do not leave soon... :: motions to the power levels::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
CO: Aye, Captain, initiating escape maneuver one. ::hands reacting on helm ::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::looks around at sickbay as the red alert changes the lights:: OPS: We'll get you out of here as soon as we can. How's your head feeling?
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
<SEC4_Ens_Perry>  ::still looking for Raeyld, eyes his phaser longingly.  Stun or kill...  stun or kill....  decisions are hard::

Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods slightly toward operations::  XO:  Their dampeners appear to be increasing in effectiveness.  Can we remodulate to mitigate the issue?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at Damrok, then back to his console; he instructs the computer to remodulate the shield frequency quickly::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Kneels down next to Booker.:  Booker:  I hear you've taken a fall.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<MO3_Ens_Jeyina> :: had never thought how being out of the know could be scary... definitely a downside to working in sickbay.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looks at Stevens:: CMO: It hurts but it is working.
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The five remaining ships attempt to lock onto Twilight. The ship appears unaffected, and Twilight opens fire, knocking two of the five craft out with little effort.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<Booker> MO: I can't feel my legs.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::frowns to himself as he tries to figure out where the power is going::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Enters a room, then another room::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Booker: I know.  Hang in there.  I'm going to do a scan and see what I can find out.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO:  Twilight seems to be successful.  Two ships out of commission.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Nods::  TO:  Can you get a read on what they're using for weapons?
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS: It'll probably keep hurting for another little while. I can give you something the help with the pain a little in the meantime if you would like.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Opens her med kit and pulls out her tricorder to see what's actually happened with Booker::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The craft appear to be letting Claymore pass – T'alin's maneuvering meets no resistance.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: concerned about power, she reaches over to scan the area::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
CMO: Whatever you need to do to get me moving and out of the biobed for the next person.
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Claymore power drops sharply, now 6%. Shields go offline. Weapons go offline. Warp drive goes offline.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Looks at the readings as they come up.  Partially broken C5 vertebrae.::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Weapons and shields offline, Captain.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: Warp drive, too.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
All: I've lost warp capability on the panel....
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looks down at the now dim console:: Aloud: Power showing six percent now.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
CO: We still have short range sensors and...not much else.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: glances up and feels a touch of fear moving through her.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Stands::  CTO:  Make sure tactical teams are ready.  ::Reflexively checks his sidearm::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Aye, Sir.  ::sounds security alert, repel borders::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::reconfigures his console to map out power transfer throughout the ship::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The other three craft continue to try to lock onto Twilight. Twilight returns fire, of which the craft are well out ahead.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Pulls out a headlamp since the lights have gotten so dim.  Puts it on and can see better:: Booker: You've partially broken one of your cervical vertebrae.  I'm going to immobilize your neck, so we can get you out of here.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
~~~MO2: Stay in medical.  Trouble may be coming.~~~
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
OPS: Let me give you something for the pain. I want you to count to sixty before you get up, though. ::quickly gives Fong a painkiller injection:: And try to avoid the bar for a little while, yeah? ::Stevens smiles at Fong, trying to help lighten the mood as much as possible, everything considered::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::spots the skipper checking his sidearm, and remembers the type-1 phaser that was in the supply kit she found next to her console earlier::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<MO3_Ens_Jeyina> :: looks up and over at the doctor::  CMO:  Is there any way to find out what is going on?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Slides her medkit under a bed::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Arms himself and motions for the TO to do the same::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Pulls out the osteo-immobilizer and fixes the settings before applying it to Booker's neck.::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Captain, new contacts, ten ships approaching from aft.  ETA, two minutes.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::slams the console, which is sluggish to the point of being non-responsive; she looks quickly at the warp drive, which no doubt is the source of the issue, one way or the other::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  Do you have a signature?
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens turns around, well-aware the Fong may already be leaving, to face Jeyina:: MO3: I'll see if I have any updates. Red alert usually means that no one sends me updates, though. How are you holding up? ::Stevens walks over to Jeyina to help with her current case::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Same as the first fifteen, Sir.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Takes out her weapon and puts it on stun-high::

Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Briskly heads over to Sarish::  EO2:  Any idea what's going on?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::sixty, fifty-nine fifty-eight fifty-seven fifty-six...was that repel borders alert? fifty-five fifty-four fifty-three.  fifty-two. ::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Shakes his head slightly::  CTO:  Acknowledged.  ::Folds his arms across his chest::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  EM1: It seemed like the power efficiency readings were dropping, then going up, then dropping again – but I couldn't figure out what was causing the changes, and then we all but lost power.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Correction, Sir.  These are from the group earlier.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<MO3_Ens_Jeyina> CMO:  Honestly?  I am tired and scared.  Rain warned us to stay in medical... that trouble might be coming.  ::sighs::  Which does not tell me much.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
SO1: Were you able to get a signal through to Starfleet, or link up with their chronometer beacons before we lost power?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Looks over the tricorder readings to make sure that there's nothing else obvious that she's missing.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Takes out his tricorder and starts purposefully waving it around::  ENG:  Anything foreign in the system?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> CSO:  No, Sir.  Wherever we are, Starfleet is not here.  I am still working on trying to figure out where here is.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl>  ::sees Southland pull out his tricorder and does the same, moving immediately towards the warp core and scanning::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  I see.  I suppose there's not much to do about it in any event, right at the moment.  ::Doesn't look resigned, just thoughtful::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Other than hope that the Twilight is as good as she seems to think she is.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  That will have to do.  ::Turns back toward the viewscreen, wondering what their apparent attackers are waiting for, now that the shields are down::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens nods and steps over:: MO: Lack of information can always put you off a little. Sickbay is the safest place though. We're the first place to get power and we've got more than enough marines in here already to hold the lines against anything coming on the ship. 
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::checks the systems from her console, or tries to::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Readings indicate that his right leg has a hairline fracture as well.  Pulls out her osteoregenerator to take care of that before they move him.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<MO3_Ens_Jeyina> :: nods and takes a seat for a moment::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl> ::stops dead in his tracks as his tricorder starts to beep a warning chime; he turns::  EO2/EM1: I'm picking up something unusual.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  MES:  Yeah, I'm seeing it.  ::Knits his brow::  Is this coming from the core?  Or is the reaction starting elsewhere?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::looks at Southland, then V'Mehl::  MES: What is it?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::fifty, blinks a few times trying to clear his head fifty. fourty-eight thirty-seven thirty-six, thirty-five, thirty-three.  There were probably more numbers in there.::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The flight bay door opens, and five craft are seen forcing themselves through what remains of the atmospheric forcefield.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
SO1: Thank you, Ensign. You're doing great under the circumstances.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO:  I am assuming advanced means futuristic?  Twilight has a Federation signature.  But like those other ships, the energy signature is not familiar.  However, it appears Twilight is more heavily advanced in their phaser/torpedo mechanism to ours, which is giving them the advantage.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl>  EM1/ENG: Unknown. It appears to be a foreign signature, temporal in kind, and spreading throughout the ship's power distribution network.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Looks up as the craft land:: *CO*: We have a problem...we're being boarded.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Just nods::  MES:  Maybe we should shut it down, Sir.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: If you need a breather, take a moment in my office. I know you aren't even supposed to be on duty yet, so it's nothing to be worried about. ::Stevens puts a hand and Jeyina's shoulder to steady her::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Leaves the room and exits back into the corridor::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
*MO*:  Copy that.  Get out of there, if you can.  CTO:  Dispatch tactical teams to the flight deck immediately.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Sir, I show unauthorized access to the flight desk by at least five craft.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Crewman Harper: Get me an anti-grav sled NOW.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl>  ::looks at Sarish::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> CSO:  I regret I have not been able to discover anything specific beyond that.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
XO:  Get Oley.  Send the marines to the flight deck, double-time.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::looks at the flight deck doors and turns around heading back towards the Jarrow :: Self: It is always something.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO:  Sir... we are being boarded on the flight deck and shuttle bay.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Packs up her bag, while still kneeling down beside Booker::  Booker: Hang in there, Crewman, we're going to get you out of here.

CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::antennae perk up fearfully upon hearing the MO's message, then turns to grab and pop open the supply kit and arm herself::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  *Bridge*: Sarish to Bridge – we've detected an unknown temporal signature moving throughout the ship's power systems. We think we might want to shut down power transfer to limit the spread of this!
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
*Security*: Teams Charlie and Delta, lay to the flight deck.  We have intruders.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
*EO2*:  Damrok here.  If you think it poses an imminent threat to the Claymore, you have my permission to do whatever you feel necessary.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::immediately sends an alert to the marines, then stands::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<Harper> ::Rummaging around looking for the anti-grav sled.::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
TO:  Ensign, report to the flight deck, take charge of the security teams.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*MA*: First Sergeant Oley to the Bridge!
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: A deafening wine echoes throughout the deck as the craft settle down. Almost immediately, twelve large – approximately 2.8m tall when up straight – creatures ease out of them. They move quickly to engage the nearest body.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> CSO:  Sir... I have compared the star maps.  From the position of the stars, we are 800 years in the future.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::starts to sit up, managing to snag a PADD from somewhere and getting ship status reports fed to it as much as he is able to. For a moment he hesitates, then moves the PADD over to his right hand. Twenty-three? Sure, that sounded like where he was, twenty-two::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::moves off to the weapons locker to secure a phaser::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> CAG: Well ::Grabs phaser:: looks like we may need to take some action here.  Where shall we rally to?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  *CO*: Aye, Captain – I think we'll do that.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
Harper:  Forget the sled.  Help me get him out of the way!
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
All:  Everyone, if you're not already armed, see to it that you are in the next few seconds.  ::Checks the settings on his phaser::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Gets to his station and starts working on the manual shutdown::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
SO1: What?! So we...actually passed through the anomaly during the initial blackout. What about our coordinates in space?
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<Harper> ::Comes running::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::looks at EM1 as he works::  EM1: I don't know – let's do it.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: nods and heads for the lift::  CPU:  Flight deck.
Host JamesH says:
<FP_FL_Williams> ::exits the craft with phaser drawn, and scans the area::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney>::steps into the Jarrow again and moves to the weapons seat, she glances out at the tall aliens...well, at least they won't be difficult to hit.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::arrives on the bridge, seeking out Davis::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::checks the power cell on her small hand phaser and sets it to mid-level stun::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::slings the med kit over her head across her back and wraps her arms under the crewman's armpits waiting for Harper to grab his feet.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
*Security team*: I will meet you as soon as I can.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<CAG_WC_Gawthorpe>  ::Grabs a phaser rifle out of the locker::  HLM:  You're on me.  Let's try to draw a few of them this way and hope more security is on the way.  ::Shouts out across the bay::  All:  Everybody get to cover!
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  EO2:  Aye, Sir.  ::Not really sure what happens if whatever's happening gets to finish happening, and isn't interested in finding out::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::grabs a phaser as well::  XO: What's going on?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
MA: Boarded. Come with me.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
CO: We're heading to the flight deck.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence>CAG: Aye aye, Ma'am.  Let’s fry these SOBs. :: sets phaser to kill::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::steps away from Jeyina to help about another officer with a leg wound::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<MO3_Ens_Jeyina> ::thanking the CMO, she does just that.  Her pain from earlier was starting to reacquaint itself.::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Security teams en route to the flight deck.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Shuffling with Harper to get Booker out of the line of sight.::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
CO/XO: Sirs, not sure you heard that amidst the chaos, but we're 800 years into the future. What we're dealing with here may be far beyond our ability to confront.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::is now sitting on his biobed reading status reports twelve? Sure:: CMO: I'll be in engineering if you need me. ::he takes a step and veers left hard back against the biobed.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> CSO:  If the sensor data is accurate, we are where we are supposed to be, in the Tau Kata system.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods::  XO:  I'd expect nothing different.  FCO:  Mister T'alin, you're with Davis and Oley.

Host JamesH says:
ACTION: CAG is nearly sideswiped by one of the creatures, missing her left ear by inches.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_1stLt_Grok>  ::arrives at the flight deck with a fire team::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<CAG_WC_Gawthorpe>  ::Ducks and rolls, totally blindsided by having been closed on already::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: As the lift arrives, about twice as long as usual, but it would have been far longer if she had to take the Jefferies tubes, she steps out, her phaser at ready.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::heads for the turbolift::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Can't hold onto Booker much longer.:: Harper: Let's find a place to set him down out of the way.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence> ::tucks and rolls and aims three groupings at the creature that almost took out the CAG::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Captain...  we could raise a force field and try to isolate the flight deck.  But we'd be trapping our people in there and, given the power situation, I'm not sure how strong it would be.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::follows Davis::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TGS_GySgt_Winters> ::takes position on the other side of the hatch::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::fiddles with the shuttle's systems, glad that they were still somewhat online, she pulls up the auxiliary craft's transporter system and starts trying to lock onto several of the boarders::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
CO: THANK YOU, Sir... time to get some. :: T'alin pops up from his seat.::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::steps away and back over to Fong:: OPS: Are you sure you're okay?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  You're right...it's an idea, but I don't know how much good it would do.  Could end up doing more harm than good.  Let's let our strike teams assess the situation and check in with the bridge.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_1stLt_Grok>  BRE: Do it.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Finding the teams ready, she nods, motioning them to the sides of the door.  Then when they are ready, she nods for one of them to open the door.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<BRE_SSgt_Ames>  ::crouches in front of the hatch, then activates the door and moves in low and quick::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<CAG_WC_Gawthorpe>  ::Opens fire on the whatever-it-is from a crouched position, then scrambles and tries to get clear again::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: readies on the four-man stack as the rear ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
Turbolift: Flight deck.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<Harper> ::Motions to an area partially hidden by one of the flight craft::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Lawrence's shots miss – the creature may be big, but it's still well out ahead of the phaser fire. In exchange, the creature takes a swipe at Lawrence, well wide of her head.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::moves to the sickbay door keeping a hand on the wall to give his painkiller numbed leg a chance to figure out what balance is.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TS_Sgt_Alon>  ::follows in right behind Ames, with Grok and Winters coming in quickly as well::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
SO1: So this is the future when the galaxy thought we were lost with all hands. ::thinks about her temporal mechanics professor's metaphor of the future appearing in an infinite array of colours:: Arm yourself. The intruders may be heading up here. Intriguing they haven't used transporters to board us...
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: As the group enters she looks around, surprised there are no weapons fire.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Nods to Harper and trying to get a better grip on Booker continues her shuffling to where Harper motioned::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: A second creature plucks Simmons off the deck as though she were nothing, straightens, and dangles her for a moment.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Then she sites on the beings who are boarding their ship... her eyebrow goes up.  She knew she was not that tall, but they looked like giants.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Screams and drops Booker::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Seeing Simmons in danger, she fires at the creature’s leg.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Kicks at the creature::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<BRE_SSgt_Ames> ::raises his phaser rifle, immediately seeing Simmons and opening fire on the thing holding her::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<CAG_WC_Gawthorpe>  ::Slides to a crouch and fires again at the creature that is on Lawrence::

::Sucks in a breath, feeling fear and not knowing why::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::locks transporters on intruders, and energizes, attempting to beam them several thousand meters off the Claymore's port, she then reaches over and closes the shuttle's access hatch::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches as the turbolift doors open, revealing the flash of phaser fire ahead of him, and he instinctively lowers his weight and moves out quickly::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Struggles to get out of his grip::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Immediately lays covering fire with his disruptor as the XO moves ::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:

:: Continues firing at the creature::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The phaser fire aimed at the creature on Simmons clips it. It lets out a screech, and all but flings Simmons against the nearest bulkhead.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::arriving from a different direction from the Marines, also seeking out a covered position and trying to figure out what the hell is going on::
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Shuffles down the corridor of deck four::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Falls to the ground bleeding and unmoving.::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Phaser fire hits the creature on Lawrence, forcing it back. It turns its attention on the CAG.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Curses under her breath and adjusts the phaser to kill before heading towards the doctor.::  Security:  Phasers on max.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
 ::continues firing from the TL, waiting for the XO to get set::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<PNT_SSgt_Wright>  ::rushes in with another fireteam, moving off to the right, away from the other fireteam::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<Harper> ::Drags Booker the rest of the way.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<CAG_WC_Gawthorpe>  ::Fires off a few more bursts, then starts to move again, not interested in being a crouching target::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_1stLt_Grok>  TGS: Let's cover our people, Gunny!
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Kneels down by the doctor and reaches for her pulse... she is alive.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TGS_GySgt_Winters>  ::looks out across the scene, trying to figure out the best way to aid Simmons::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
<HLM_Ens_Lawrence>::Sees the creature that tried to melee her turn at the phaser fire toward it and attempts to pistol whip what appears to be a sensory organ on what maybe is a mawed face ::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
<Booker> ::Passes out.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
*TC*:  If you have any power, transport Doctor Simmons to sickbay.
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: CAG's shots miss this time, the creature seeming to anticipate, and in return it misses slicing into her back by a few inches.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Stays near her firing continuously::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TGS_GySgt_Winters>  ALL: Bravo two!

Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Continues working on the warp core shutdown, hoping the power down stops the reaction and they can quickly reboot to get things working again::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<BRE_SSgt_Ames>  ::hears the command – barely – and watches as the marines open fire on the creatures in a staggered pattern; he immediately rushes out towards Simmons's position::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: quietly::  MO:  Doctor Simmons, can you hear me?
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Paces around a few steps here and there, waiting to hear anything back from the flight deck::  OS1:  Litoll, get me an open channel with the Twilight.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Can't hear her::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::moves out of sickbay, he looks across the hall for a moment, then he takes a step across the hallway still trying to get his balance.  He leans on the button for the door for a moment::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::opens fire along with the Marines, not sure what Bravo two is, but thinking it sounds great at the moment::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: sees the XO get set:: XO: Cover me while I move! :: Gets low and preps for his three-second rush to the position::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: One of the creatures drops near the marine sergeant, nearly sinking teeth into the nearest fleshy piece.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: getting no response from the doctor or transporter room, she places herself in front of her.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
OS1:  I realize that we likely don't have shipboard communications at the moment, but...I know you can figure out something.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Watches Fong leave, concern written on her face, but knowing that a red alert means Fong is needed elsewhere if possible::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
SO1: Let's run internal scans on these creatures and compare them to what's in the database while we still can. Track their movements. I'll try to determine the temporal phenomenon that was affecting power to our systems.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<BRE_SSgt_Ames>  ::takes an educated guess as to what this bastard's face is and tries to ram the phaser rifle directly into it repeatedly::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
*CMO*:  Doctor Simmons is down, and I am going to assume so is the transporter.  She was hit very hard and slammed against the bulkhead.  She is alive, but nonresponsive.  And we are in the midst of battle.
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The creatures shimmer for a moment, fading briefly, then solidifying. Every single one of the creatures turns simultaneously. They converge on the shuttle.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<CAG_WC_Gawthorpe>  ::Barely cringes out of the way again, seemingly just barely, and at minimum, is pleased that she and Lawrence are at least keeping this one off of everyone else for the moment – tucks and rolls again, watching as the creature heads out toward the auxiliary craft::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> :: nods::  CSO:  Power is low, Sir.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::starts laying down suppression fire, but quickly leaves his position as he sees Ames creature-handled while trying to baseball hit it with his phaser rifle::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
::Gets to XO's previous position and immediately starts laying down covering fire for the XO::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<PNT_SSgt_Wright>  ::moves his team in a position to fire as the creatures advance towards the shuttle, so there now is effectively a crossfire::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Watches one of the creatures movements and then fires where it might be... trying to anticipate its location.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::looks up as the transport fails:: Self: Well...shit. ::She activates the shuttle's weapons and starts targeting the nearest of the approaching creatures:: Self: I'm pretty sure the handbook says not to do this ::fires::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::continues firing at the creature that has (had?) Ames, but sees what's left of Simmons towards his left::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
SO1: Then we'll prioritize tracking the intruders. Coordinate with tactical. Relay what you can to security and the marines.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens grabs a medbag and moves towards the door:: *TO*: I'm on my way. ::on the way out, she runs into Jennings in the hallway:: MO2: Thank the gods. You have sickbay; Simmons is down. 
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: notes the movement toward the shuttle and a team working on protecting it.  Focuses on her issues and keeping the doctor safe.::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OS1_Ens_Litoll> ::scrolls through the options on his screen and then pulls up the hail to the contact listed as ’Twilight’ :: CO; Channel open, Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
COM: Twilight:  This is Commander Damrok, USS Claymore.  We're being boarded by...whoever we're dealing with.  If you have any information that will help us repel, we need it.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: pulls out his double shadow knife from his left boot and holds it in his left hand in reverse grip with his right hand over his wrist for sturdy position; fires with low CG at the Ames creature at range walk speed while moving towards the XO::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Shuttle weapons fire hits the creatures, staggering them back. They redouble their efforts, taking slashes at the shuttle's hull.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::sighs slightly, then moves on towards the turbolift::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: smiles as the shuttle seems to be having more luck::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<RIF_Pvt_Vashun>  ::opens fire with Wright at the creatures hacking at the shuttle::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Motions for one of the security team to join her.::

Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The holographic representation of a Bajoran woman appears on Claymore's bridge, seated where the counsellor would ordinarily sit.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
<SO1_Ens_Sakar> :: nods as he begins to gather the information he can.::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
<MO2_LtCmdr_Jennings> CMO: What? Wait, what about my report? And the red alert! You can't just leave! ::Jennings watch Stevens disappear down the hall with a frown on his face before heading into sickbay::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::her eyes widen as the shuttle's fire doesn't stop the attack. She reaches over and flicks on the shields, then the flight systems.::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Starts and draws his weapon as the strange woman appears.  Realizes it is a holograph and lowers his weapon.::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
Benson:  It is not safe to move the doctor, but it is even less safe to keep her here.  Doctor Stevens is on her way.  I will keep fire.  I need the two of you to carefully lift her and take her out of here.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Momentarily raises an eyebrow, his hand flinching toward his phaser, but the incident registers fairly quickly, and he tilts his head slightly::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Appears in the counselor's seat and turns to face the Cardassian: CO: Commander Damrok.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TCO:  Captain Krys?
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens comes barreling down the corridor towards the ongoing firefight:: TO: Where's Simmons?
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: The two security officers try to carefully lift the doctor.  Then the three of them coordinate their way to the flight doors::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CMO:  Out, doctor...we are bringing her to you.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: Indeed. The Kethran are slightly out of phase with our space. Energy weapons are nearly useless – you'll have more luck with blunt force trauma.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke> ::moves along the perimeter of the flight deck, finally finding his way to Simmons::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Knows her voice is a bit harsh, but she is worried about both doctors now::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Almost slaps his combadge::  *XO*:  Commander, I have information that energy weapons are nearly useless.  We'll need blunt force.  Hand-to-hand if it's feasible; explosives if necessary.  No restrictions.  Just clear that deck.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Levelly:: TCO:  Who are these Kethran?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::sighs::  Self: Shit.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::steps into the turbolift and presses the button to get it to engineering.::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Continues moving up and makes his way to MO Simmons ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke>  ::takes his tricorder out and scans Simmons::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens ducks out of the room, hand moving to her leg instinctively where a pistol is not to be found::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: We don't know where they came from, but we know when they came from - the Claymore's destruction in your time. ::Rubs her forehead and the bridge of her nose:: Or at least...that's what we've always assumed.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: As they make it to the hall, she has them move further down before lowering Simmons to the deck.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
All: Hand to hand! Phasers don't work!
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Motions for the two of them to head back.::  Benson/David:  You heard the commander.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::is fascinated by this turn of events and what this Bajoran is saying:: Self: Kethran...?
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney>::activates the shuttle's thrusters trying to get it up off the deck, she tries to angle the thruster exhaust towards one of the boarders::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: One of the creatures manages to get the shuttle's hatch open. Two disappear inside. The others spread out, destination anything moving.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CORP:  Can you and the doctor handle things here?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Putting his knife and disruptor back in his sheath:: CORP: Ok... what we got here? How can I help?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TGS_GySgt_Winters>  ::hears Davis and immediately advances towards the creatures to engage them, changing his grip on the phaser rifle to more of a sword or baseball bat grip::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Looks at Stevens, who is weaponless.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<PNT_SSgt_Wright>  ::sees Winters heading out and responds in kind, being the closest to the creature at the shuttle; he runs at it and immediately starts swinging::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Takes a look around a moment, considering the sentence::  TCO:  I apologize.  We have only just met, but... ::Locks eyes with the hologram:: ...I'll start again.  What else do we need to know, right now, to get out of this?  Everything else is secondary.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORPS_PO1_Fricke>  ::nods:: TO: We got it.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens draws a knife from the small of her back and looks at Tsela-Yokaze::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<RIF_Pvt_Vashun>  ::follows closely behind Wright::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Seeing the doctor’s knife, she simply nods... the knife might prove to be better than a phaser.::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Davis misses, but the staff sergeant connects solidly, knocking his target back several steps.

Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Locks eyes with Damrok:: CO: Unleash everything you have, everything you can, to batter them into submission until they leave the Claymore. We need to get you out of here. If this means what I think it does, the Claymore's survival is crucial to the survival of the Federation...and to reversing the last eight hundred years of pure nightmares.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Standing, she heads back inside, looking for something useful... she doubted her body alone, no matter how good her skills, would get her far.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TGS_GySgt_Winters>  ::arrives at the shuttle as well, attempting to repeatedly strike the creature::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::hears ripping metal and turns, hopeful that the shuttle's controls won't kill everyone, a beeping tricorder is flipped into the hole behind the boarders, then she tries to get under the shuttle's console::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::agrees with the captain, wants to get the ship back to its own time and sort out the details later...is worried about Kizlev's health...even though he's already been dead for eight centuries from Claymore's current perspective in space-time::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::advances towards Ames::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
::Quickly yells to the TO:: TO: I got something for you!
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: Twilight can send teams to help support your own if you're willing to lower shields long enough for us to beam aboard teams or provide your shield frequencies.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Stands a bit straighter, looking toward the bridge's clear dome::  TCO:  You know...we were on our way to relieve the outbreak of an unknown illness.  ::Raises a breath to speak again, but eventually, just looks to his boots and shakes his head::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Turns to look at the Romulan and makes her way over to him.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TCO:  Our shields are already down, Captain.  If you can provide any relief without endangering your own vessel in the process, we would welcome it.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::drags Ames to his feet and continues towards the creatures::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
TO: Don't lose this... it's special. :: hands her the double shadow knife ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::waits in the turbolift humming quietly to himself::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Takes the knife::  FCO:  Thank you...
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: Let your people know not to fire on my people.  ::Makes a cutting gesture, presumably visible to people aboard her own bridge, indicating they should begin beaming aboard rescue parties::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
CO/TCO: May I also request the Twilight extend shields around us to prevent additional boarding attempts?
CIV_LtCmdr_Raeyld says:
::Continues shuffling down the corridor::

Host JamesH says:
ACTION: A slow whine builds up from near the shuttle.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Hits his 'badge again::  *Flight Deck*:  All hands, we have reinforcements inbound to the flight deck.  Please be aware and let them work.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::hopes she isn't being too forward by speaking out of turn::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Watches the officers go in the room while she moves over to Simmons, the color draining from her face as she takes in the damage:: MO: You know, you didn't have to try and one-up me after we swapped stories.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Hand-to-hand fighting was not her best defense, far preferring a sword, but she could manage quite well::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<PNT_SSgt_Wright>  ::keeps hacking away at the creatures, almost blindly at this point::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Nods:: CO: We can move into position to extend our shields. Do we have your approval?
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The whine increases, and as the Kethrans regroup to pick another target, the tricorder explodes.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TCO:  You do.  ::Folds his arms again::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<BRE_SSgt_Ames>  ::bleeding pretty badly, but still able to move a little and get around; he tags with Davis::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Damage alarms sound on the bridge as the explosion registers, and several of the creatures are sent across the deck. A few don't move again.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Nods:: TFCO: Move into position.  TCTO/TOPS: Prepare to extend our shield around the Claymore.  *TCEO*: We're going to need all the extra power you can provide. Make it happen.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::moves to the other side of the turbolift reading through reports::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
FCO:  We will probably have better luck if we attack together.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<PNT_SSgt_Wright>  ::flies across the flight deck after the explosion, sliding along the deck even for good measure::
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens stows her knife quickly and pulls a compress out of her bag, trying to stop the bleeding on the head:: CORP: Hold that in place. If her spine is okay, we need to move her out of the combat zone.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: taps her combadge::  *CO*:  Sir, do we stand down, then?
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
TO: Yes, but :: looks to Simmons and the corpsman :: Ok... you're right.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<RIF_Pvt_Vashun>  ::hit by Wright as flies by, but is spared the worst of the impact::

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TGS_GySgt_Winters> ::also thrown across the flight deck, though again not as violently or as far as Wright just was::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  EO2:  Looks like that did it, Sir.  Reactor's offline.  Now...we keep checking.  ::Starts running his tricorder again::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::breathes a little easier that help is on the way and the ship has shields again...and also that she wasn't reprimanded by cutting in the conversation between the two starship captains::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
*TO*:  Continue engaging.  I just needed you to be aware that you had inbound friendlies.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl>  ::starts scanning again, again going down towards the warp core itself to scan::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
FCO:  I needed a workout today... ::looks for a target::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::pulls out a tricorder as well, scanning for her own part without having to depend on the onboard computer::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Looks to sciences and gives Sheva a brief, subtle "well done" head tilt::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches as the marines fly and slide by, but also focuses in on the creatures, particularly the ones who are moving still::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Six separate shimmering forms materialise aboard Claymore, specifically the flight deck. Immediately, they spread out, taking aim.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::has the same thought as Davis, immediately moving for one of the still-moving creatures and performing what might have been previously called a "ninja kick" before picking up his own phaser rifle and stomping the butt of it into the creature::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Holding the knife, blade pointing down she moves to help one of her team.::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: As soon as we've completed the shield extension, I'll join the team that has beamed aboard to help repel your boarders.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::follows Oley, stomping on the creature as well since he doesn't have a phaser rifle to do the job::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Starts to stir just slightly, but not coherent::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TCO: Captain, Sir, may I ask for your science officer's assistance in helping us determine what's affecting our power systems? There was something temporal sweeping through our power conduits before we were boarded. We need to know if it's caused by the Kethran, or the temporal anomaly...or both.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Moves with the TO, looking for revenge ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<PNT_SSgt_Wright>  ::picks his head up, seeing two officers attacking one of the creatures, but more noticing the streak of blood between himself and the shuttle, spread out over five or seven feet::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::steps off the lift and stops at a weapons locker.  He eyes the selection and picks a phaser rifle. Pulling the power cell, he leans on the butt, checking the weight. It'll have to do until he can get medical to fix him the rest of the way.  He looks down at the blood soaked and ripped uniform, completely torn away on his left leg below the knee.::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Oley seems to have figured it out – his kick results in the creature rolling across the deck, coming to rest just in time for Davis’ stomp. Something cracks.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Stevens draws her tricorder and performs a quick scan:: CORP: We need to do something about the leg before we move her again. ::Stevens sets the tricorder to the side and pulls out her hypospray, giving Simmons a quick shot to help with the pain::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: moves in and shifts the knife edge out and goes for the hamstring... assuming the creature had one.::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Starts to stir...her eyes flutter open, and then she gasps in panic::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::mutters to himself and closes the weapons locker before heading towards main engineering::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke>  ::pulls out his med kit and retrieves a thing metal-looking sliver that almost looks like a knife; he quickly hits its end, and the sliver becomes shorter, then he pulls at its sides and it becomes slightly wider – it's a splint::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: sees the TO go for a point in what appears to be a leg, looks for bends and using practiced Kormerek technique makes quick hard strikes targeting the joints ::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Waits to see what, if anything, Krys might have for Hy'Qiin before he interjects again::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Twilight's shields extend easily around Claymore, cutting the beam from the remaining craft. They turn their attention on Twilight. The temporal signature begins to fade from engineering systems.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<TL_1stLt_Grok>  ::moves towards another of the creatures near Winters, driving the butt of his phaser rifle towards its midsection – he thinks – then attempting to hit its head/neck area::
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Reaches out for the CMO as panic and shock starts to set it::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  EO2:  Looks like the temporal signature is beginning to fade.  Maybe another minute and we try to spin it back up?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CSO: Unfortunately, my science officer is currently part of the rescue team helping to fend off the boarders. Once they've returned, I'll make sure you're updated.
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The six newly arrived from Twilight begin to step in as well, producing hand phasers and opening fire. They prove more effective than the available phasers aboard Claymore.

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl>  ::ducks out, not hearing Southland::  EO2/EM1: I'm noticing a drop here in the signatures.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Watches Fricke with the splint:: CORP: Thank you. 
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::she also thinks about asking if she could have the Twilight's complete schematics while they're at it, but then she realizes that her temporal mechanics professor would be extremely disappointed in her if she tried to push her luck that far::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Nods to V'Mehl, at least pleased that everyone seems on the same page::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke>  ::places the splint on Simmons and quickly secures it, then finds a wrap to place around it quickly; it's not very neat, though it doesn't have to be::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TCO: Thank you very much, Sir. ::bows her head to the Bajoran respectfully:: We owe you and your crew our lives.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::steps into main engineering and glances around, heading for the pool table status display overhearing something about temporal signatures::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke>  CMO: Okay, Sir, I think this is good enough to move, if we can do it quick.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::grabs Simmons arm with one hand:: MO: It's alright, I've got you. CORP: Let's go.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::notices Fong mosey on into main engineering::  
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Looks askance, as if listening to something "offscreen," then back to Damrok:: CO: We need to get Claymore out of here as soon as possible; a Kethran base ship is inbound. What do we need to do to get Claymore at warp?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke>  ::grabs the other arm, waiting for Stevens to begin moving::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The remainder of the creatures begin to withdraw, heading back to the shuttles.
MO_Ens_Simmons says:
::Tries to steady her breathing, but suddenly feels very cold and passes out again.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TCO:  I...will ask.  ::Almost as an aside::  We had detected a temporal signature in our reactor and shut it down to prevent the spread of it throughout the ship.  Could the Kethran have caused that, and if so, is it safe to resume reactor operation?
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Any creature still breathing is lifted by one who can move – they appear to be in largely survival mode.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: stops as she notices movement and reaches out a hand to T'alin's arm::  FCO:  Our guests seem to be doing a good job... the aliens are leaving.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looks right as he limps forward; he doesn't see the person to his left as he makes his way to the pool table::

Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::watches as one creature attempts to haul out another, and he sprints at it, trying to hit it low with his shoulder::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: A few of the Twilight's crew appear to take this as a challenge, firing at the retreating backs of the creatures.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::picks up Simmons arm and help lift her:: CORP: Let's go.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::listens intently for TCO's reply to the commander, ready to take notes on her console::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  OPS: Lieutenant, can I help you?  ::looks slightly nervous, as it sort of dawns on her she is senior right now in engineering::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Stops and turns with honorable nod towards Yokaze ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke>  ::nods, beginning to move forward::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: We believe they did so to attempt to disable and capture the Claymore, yes. But at this point, we just need to risk it. If Claymore stays here, everything is lost.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::follows Davis, grabbing the end of the apparently wounded creature to slow them down::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::looks startled as if the ensign snuck up on him, then turns to look at them:: EO2: I saw Secord was down, and something was wrong with power, so I thought I'd offer my expertise.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Nods once, then taps his combadge::  *Engineering*:  Damrok to engineering.  We need a rapid restart, perhaps regardless of whether it is safe.  One of our attackers’ capital ships is on an intercept course.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
MO: We've got you moving now, no dying on my watch
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::glances at the EO2 after hearing the CO, waiting to see if they answer.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::Starts to respond, but then an even more nerve-racking moment comes when Damrok's voice blares in overhead::  *CO*: Uh, y-y – aye, Sir!
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Turns to the TO, looking down at the whimpering hulk below them and spits at it:: TO: This one is yours.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::turns to Southland::  EM1: Prepare to restart systems!
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  ::Gives Sarish a "well, here we go again" look with a muted smile and pivots to his console::  EO2:  Aye, Sir.  Preparing restart sequence.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: looks down at their opponent::  FCO:  I think it will be a nice present to the doctors.
Host JamesH says:
@<Twilight> TCO: Captain. I have sensor contact. Kethran base ship at extreme range.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::turns to Fong::  OPS: I'd appreciate any help you can offer, Sir.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: considers, and nods :: TO: Actually, yes... it owes Simmons.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
FCO:  Yes, it does.  :: motions a couple of security officers over.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::stomps at whatever he can on this big creature::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: The shuttles lift off as if they always belonged there and make their way for the still opened flight bay door. Almost immediately, they begin firing on Twilight's shields from within.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
Benson:  I do not know if the alien will live or not... ::frowns::  or if it is still alive.  Secure it for the doctors.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods and looks at the pool table, leaning his head to the right just a bit to try and figure out the power interference and how clear it is:: EO2: I am at your disposal.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Glances upward:: Twilight: Understood.  ::Looks back to Damrok:: CO: We're down to the wire, Captain. What can I do to assist?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: It sounds like the boarders are nearly repelled. I can send my engineer to your main engineering, if she can be helpful there.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  OPS: We need to restart systems – and without damaging more systems. If you have any suggestions, I'm all ears – but the Captain made it sound like this absolutely needs to happen, now.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
FCO:  We should probably head back to the bridge.  It looks things are under control here.  :: wipes the blood off the blade on the alien’s clothes and hands it to T'alin.::  Thank you.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Captain...  sensor contact at extreme range.  Power signature is massive, much larger than anything we've seen to date.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
<OPS3_CPO_Cawney> ::after the two retreated she pokes her head up and begins shutting down the shuttle's flight systems trying to keep her insides inside with a rather sliced arm.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::rams the phaser rifle at the neck of the creature, or what might be a neck::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
TO:  Aye, I was thinking the same.  Thank you for providing drink for Sirol.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<CORP_PO1_Fricke>  ::continues moving with Simmons and Stevens::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: Sheathes the shadow knife back in the interior of his left boot ::
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::nods and starts pulling secondary systems offline to protect them from the reboot surge:: EO2: I'm on feedback loops. You do what you know best.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
TCO:  That seems as though it might be useful.  Any assistance you can provide will likely speed this process.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Takes a moment to process what he said, and then realizing he is talking about the blade, she smiles::  FCO:  In this case, glad to oblige.  :: heads out the door and towards the lift.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  Acknowledged.  Hopefully, we won't be around to meet them.
Host JamesH says:
@<Twilight> TCO: The boarders are attempting to compromise my shields from within, Captain. Attempting to compensate.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: follows with the TO ::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  ::nods and moves back towards the console near Southland::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  I hope not...  comparing power signatures, what we're fighting are shuttles and they seem to be handing us our butts.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::strikes the creature one last time, and it completely stops moving::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
FCO:  I am not familiar with that type of blade.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Entering the lift, she orders it to the bridge.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  That they do.  It sounds as though they have almost a millennia’s head start on us, though, so all things considered, things might be going more poorly.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
TO: It's a double shadow knife.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::looks at Davis for a moment, then at the bay doors::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
FCO:  Romulan culture?
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Shrugs in agreement::  CO:  Well, we're alive...  there is that.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Turns to Damrok:: CO: They're trying to flee. Twilight can let them go to less damage to our ship, or we can try to keep them here. Which is better for Claymore getting the heck out of here ASAP?
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
CTO: Hopefully, it's not big like one of those Voth city ships they say Voyager encountered in the Delta Quadrant...although that would be amazing to see one up close.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MES_Ens_V'Mehl>  ::at the console near the warp core, preparing for initial diagnostics::
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
TO:  Aye. 
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::Turns back to Krys' hologram::  TCO:  I say we let them go.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::moves Simmons through the door to sickbay:: CORP/DN2: Surgery room one. I need a match of potential blood donors STAT.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<EM1_CPO_Southland>  Aloud:  All right, we're booting up.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Smiles::  CSO:  You'll excuse me if I don't share your enthusiasm.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<EO2_Ens_Sarish>  *Bridge*: Sarish to Bridge, we are attempting to restart the warp core right now.

TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: As the lift drops them off.::  FCO:  I must admit, my knowledge of your people and culture is a bit limited.  We never came across them at archaeological sites.  Again, thank you.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
*Bridge*: Davis to Bridge, the flight deck has been cleared of...well, whatever the hell these things are. A few of them are down here still.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
TO: No worries.  We will have plenty time to rectify that.  This one became mine after my first... well, it's a story for another time.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<DN2_LtJG_Kampen>  CMO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Calls into the ward::  MT4:  S'kaln, I need chart info for synthetic or live plasma transfer right now.  ::Heads into "scrub"::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::grins sheepishly at the CTO and returns focus on her console::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
FCO:  Another time, then.  :: with a nod moves toward her station.::
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::Turns to Oley::  MA: I think we might have to clear you for full duty, Don. You've still got it.
OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::shakes his head and listens to the EO2; he strips power out of backup systems to provide the warp core with the 'kickstart' power it needs for an emergency boot:: Aloud/EO2: Power systems holding steady and ready for bootup sequence.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO: Giants... they were giants.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
::Exiting the lift with the TO takes the helm at center ::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MT4_C1_S'kaln>  ::Calls back::  DN2:  On it, Sir.  ::Starts looking up the necessary information, and heads to storage to get the plasma::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Eyes the TO's state dubiously::  TO:  It would appear you were on the losing end.  You okay?
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
<MA_1stSgt_Oley>  ::offers a slight smile in return, though he'd be lying if he said he wasn't in some pain right now::
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Twilight's shields retract, giving the escaping craft room. They rejoin the remaining five craft, who move off in the direction of the base ship.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: Looks down at her clothes then back at him.::  CTO:  The blood is not mine.  It belongs to Doctor Simmons and one of the giants T'alin and I are gifting to her.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MT4_C1_S'kaln>  ::Starts flipping through bins, getting more agitated as he does so::  *DN2*:  Sir, we don't have it.  I'm going to have to pull an officer from the match list.
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<DN2_LtJG_Kampen>  *MT4*:  Okay, make it happen right away.  Don't have much time.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Nods::  TO:  Got it.  I'm glad you're okay.  ::Grins::  Sorry I couldn't make your first shift onboard exciting, but there will be other shifts.
CMO_LtJG_Stevens says:
::Moves Simmons to the table and steps over to clean up for surgery::

Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
<MT4_C1_S'kaln>  *CTO*:  Sickbay to Lieutenant Hawk.  Can you come to sickbay immediately?  We have a medical emergency and require a plasma donor; you're a match.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO: Perhaps, but it was definitely... memorable.  :: frowns::  Are we safe?  If so, permission to go change.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO:  Never mind.  It can wait.
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
::is relieved to see her fellow officers return safely to the bridge, a little worse for wear, but still okay it seems::
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
CO: Permission to come aboard officially, Captain? I imagine we have a lot to discuss while we get out of here.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Starts to answer the TO, then stops::  TO:  Actually, take over here.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: starts running through mid-procedure checks ::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Permission to leave for Sickbay.  Apparently I need to give some blood.
FCO_ULN_T’alin says:
:: checking power levels and system status ::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
::With a cordial smile::  TCO:  Permission granted.  After today, you are owed at least that much.
Host XO_Cmdr_Davis says:
::looks at the ceiling for a moment, wondering if Damrok responded and he just didn't hear it in the midst of all of this, or if things were just hectic up there; he takes a few steps forward, wondering what exactly to do next::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
:: nods and turns to look at her shields power level... it would finish off the day.::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
CTO:  Go ahead, Mister Hawk.
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
CO:  Aye, sir.  ::Heads to the turbolift::
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CTO:  If it is Doctor Simmons... :: pauses and shakes her head::  good luck to her.
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
::Taps her combadge::
CTO_Lt_Hawk says:
::Nods to the TO as he leaves::
CSO_Ens_Sheva says:
TO: What happened to the doctor? Is she alright? Are you okay?
Host TCO_Capt_Krys says:
Twilight: Maintain parallel course with Claymore in my absence.
TO_Ens_Tsela-Yokaze says:
CSO:  The blood is not mine.  As for the doctor... I do not know... I hope so.
Host JamesH says:
ACTION: Krys materializes on Claymore's bridge, and the ship's AI closes the comm channel on Twilight's end once she's there.

OPS_LtJG_Fong says:
::frowns slightly at something; he glances at the ensign and the enlisted, waiting for the power to start flowing::
Host CO_Cmdr_Damrok says:
*XO*:  Commander, any casualties among the boarders should be sent to the brig unless their injuries are imminently life-threatening.  I haven't had a chance to consult with Captain Krys about what the best course is for medical treatment, yet...if there is one.
