CTO_Webster says:
::at Tactical, getting a tactical scan of the system::
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Moves one set of Engineer's to a slightly different location, just incase they're needed as backup in two different locations.:: Self: Well, that's the best assignment locations. ::Looks over at the other Engineers and nods.::
CTO_Webster says:
::frowning as she doesn't like what she is seeing::
CMO_Fielding says:
::tries some judo moves in the weightlessness of Sickbay::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks around the bridge, watching everyone work so diligently, while he sits in his chair and ponders the situation::
CMO_Fielding says:
::...and crashes to the ground as Hyde gratuitously turns the grav generator back on::
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Notifies all Senior Officers that Engineering is in place and ready by data link.::
CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: HEY!!!
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: What do the scans of this system show?
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::smiles at her husband::
CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: That's what you get for hanging around in the air for no reason.
CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: You totally reek.  You know that?  You TOTALLY REEK!!!
CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> CMO/Hyde: Will you guys shut up?  We need to give a status report to the Bridge?  Hello?
CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: Oh, yeah... I forgot...
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Purrs a bit worriedly as he waits for something to happen, hoping beyond hope that nothing does.:: Self: Warp drive systems... ::Taps on the console.:: Check.  ::Taps another set of controls.:: Impulse Engines.. Check. Deflector grid.. Check. ::Continues on down his check list.::
CTO_Webster says:
::hoping she hadn't verbalized her expletive deletives, straightens and responds to the CO:: CO: Sir, there are two ships in-system.  If both should go against us at once, we would have a very difficult time.  ::pauses::
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: What is the status of those two ships? Are they currently attacking?
CMO_Fielding says:
::in a rather strangled voice, seeing as she had just fallen fifteen feet from the ceiling and was Yelling at her subordinate:: *CO*: Sickbay in full readiness for casualties, sir.
Host Captain_Grift says:
*CMO*: Understood.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
COM: Kissem:  This is the USS Don Johnson of Star Fleet, please respond.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Quickly walks over to the backup power systems and orders the Engineer to prepare them for immediate use.  Then makes his way back to his station, but doen't notice that his tail has uncoiled itself from around his waist and sways back and forth behind him.::
CTO_Webster says:
CO:  Yes, sir.  The ship orbiting Dyson 1 is targeting a sphere on the northern hemisphere.   As for the second ship, they are orbiting Dyson 2, but have not attacked yet.
Gov_Kissem says:
@COM:DJ: This is Governor Kissem of Dyson. How may I serve you?
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Any indications they have noticed our arrival?
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  Captain, I have Governor Kissem on the Com, would you like to talk to her yourself?
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Not yet, sir.  We are hidden from their sensors by the moon's field.
Host Captain_Grift says:
::Stands and approaches the viewer:: COM: Dyson: Governor, I am Captain Grift of the USS Don Johnson. What is your current status?
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Gets a strange look from his Assistant Engineer who looks behind him.  Then turns and finally sees his tail swaying back and forth and pushes his brows together in irritation at his tail.  Then takes it in hand and wraps it around his waist, stuffing the tip inside his pocket.::
CMO_Fielding says:
::listens to a recording of a Starfleet XO who is, for some reason, narrating a special about Nostradamus, whoever the heck he was::
CMO_Fielding says:
Bridges: I'll be on the Bridge.
CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> CMO: Hey, what about ME?!
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::goes back to her normal duties of scanning::
Gov_Kissem says:
@::smiles at the viewer:: COM: DJ: CO: Captain, a pleasure to see you at last. Status? Please clarify Captain.
CMO_Fielding says:
Hyde: I'll be on the Bridge, too.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks over the ships systems once again.  Hopes and prays that the red alert klaxon doesn't come on.::
CTO_Webster says:
::looks at the CO and then at the viewscreen:: CO ::whispers loudly:: Sir, I suggest we go to Red Alert.
CMO_Fielding says:
::wanders up to the Bridge and, by a staggering set of coincidences, doesn't get lost::
CMO_Fielding says:
::looks around, sees that there's some Action going on, and wonders if she should just let the turbolift doors close or what::
CTO_Webster says:
::holds fingers over the Red Alert button, ready for action::
Host Captain_Grift says:
@COM: Dyson: We were sent here to assist you against the Zynques. Our sensors indicate they are currently attacking a building on the northern hemisphere of Dyson I.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::notices the CMO lingering on the lift::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  April?  Is everything okay?
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Looks over his Engineers and smiles as he has full confidence in them.  Then continues with his duties.::
CMO_Fielding says:
XO: Oh, just dandy, sir.  Just don't want to get in the way.  ::smiles::
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::peeks at the lift and smiles at April::
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Stand by Commander.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  You're never in the way.  Come join the fun.
Gov_Kissem says:
@::overhears the CTO's whisper:: COM:DJ:CO: A wise precaution Captain. We are still under attack and have been for some time. Our supplies are running low and the Zynques are hitting us in vital areas. Please can you offer assistance?
CMO_Fielding says:
::sneaks onto the Bridge:: XO: <w> Thanks, sir.
Host Captain_Grift says:
COM: Dyson: Have they made any demands?
CTO_Webster says:
::blinks:: CO: Sir, I must protest.  We are in a hostile situation.  Regulations specifically state we are to go to Red Alert when in hostile situations.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  The Zynques are changing targets, sir.  Aiming for a large city!
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Commander, they have given no indication they can detect us yet. If we throw up our shields that may alert their sensors.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Checks the locations of the Emergency Engineering Teams and looks over his plans once again.  Then turns to the Impulse Engine display and looks over the controls.::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Besides, I kind of feel like I'm in the way myself.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Maybe they're faking.  ::munches some pretzels::
CTO_Webster says:
CO: No, sir, they can't.  If you will recall, I mentioned the Zynques have substandard sensors.  The field generated by the moon will block us from anything their sensors can see.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: ...on the other hand, maybe they aren't faking... ::munches on some more pretzels::
CMO_Fielding says:
XO: Awie.  Well, I'm *always* in the way, so I wouldn't worry.
Gov_Kissem says:
@COM:DJ:CO: No demands Captain, but they have been systematically looting our small cities and damaging anything that they can not take with them. I fear for my people Captain. Please help us.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Why do you think that?  In the entire time I've known you, I've never once heard anybody say "Hey, that April chick is always in the way."
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CTO:  By the way, are we battle ready?
CMO_Fielding says:
XO: Well, maybe they figured out we're cousins and didn't want to hurt your feelings by proxy or something.
Host Captain_Grift says:
COM: Dyson: We'll do what we can. ::motions for the CSO to close the channel::
Host Captain_Grift says:
CSO: Open a channel to the lead Zynque ship.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  ::sighs::  Always the optimist...  ::grins::
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::Cuts the channel and nods at the CO::
CMO_Fielding says:
::thinks it might be nice if they could like maybe transport some Zynque people aboard and scare them a little bit::
CTO_Webster says:
::growls:: XO: Sir, all weapons are on line.  However, we won't be 'battle-ready' until we go to Red Alert.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  Yessir.  ::opens a channel and nods again::
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Confers with his Assistant Engineer and manually verifies that the Engineering Department is ready as per the Mission Briefing.  Then walks over to the Master Diagnostic Display and checks out a couple of systems.::
CTO_Webster says:
::blinks, not sure she heard what she did::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods::  CTO:  Excellent point, Commander.
CMO_Fielding says:
XO: Of course, sir.  ::smiles::
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Sir, I have to protest.  If you talk to the ship, the other ship will know we are here and then our chances of winning any kind of battle will be very slim!
Gov_Kissem says:
@:;watches the Captain's face fade from her screen and sighs:: Self: I hope they can help us.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  And why are you still calling me sir?  We both hold the same rank.
CMO_Fielding says:
XO: 'cause you are the XO, sir.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CMO:  Oh yeah... I forget that sometimes.  Well, recently anyway.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Receives a report from his other Assistant Engineer and looks it over.:: *CTO*: Backup generators at your disposal... But please remember that I may have to divert that power in case of an Emergency. ::Taps on his console and links the Tactical Station to the backup power generators.::
CTO_Webster says:
*CEO*: Thank you, Lieutenant.  ::under her breath:: It's good someone is on top of things
CMO_Fielding says:
::opens a comm to Sickbay and taps out "we're going to be in for a loooooong ride" in Morse code::
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Now do you think they'd really want to go up against a whole Federation battle fleet? ::grins::
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: No, but they might want to take pot shots at us first...
CTO_Webster says:
CO: They won't be going against the Federation.  They'll be going against us.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: ...with their all-powerful weapons that can blast us apart...
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Will they know that with their inferior sensors?
CTO_Webster says:
CO: A whole battle fleet can not hide behind this moon.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: ...of course, we always have the photonic cannon...
CTO_Webster says:
::nods emphatically:: CO: Unless they are complete morons, sir.
CMO_Fielding says:
CTO: Well, I dunno, they seem pretty moronic to me, sir.  But maybe not when it comes to blowing people to pieces.
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: What do you suggest?
CMO_Fielding says:
CTO/CO: Well, whenever you guys come to a conclusion, can you please clue us in, so we can take a nap until you're done?
CTO_Webster says:
::shrugs:: CMO: I don't know enough about the Zynques to tell whether they are morons or not.
CTO_Webster says:
::gapes:: CO: Go to Red Alert and fire on the ship's weapons systems.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Sighs a bit loudly and paces before his console.  Then stops and mans his console.::
CMO_Fielding says:
::snuggles under a console and goes to sleep::
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: And possibly blow both ships up? Then wait for their reinforcements?
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::keeps the Zynques on 'hold' for now, playing elevator music for them::
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: ::sleepily:: I don't mind if we blow ALL of them up...
CTO_Webster says:
CO: We can't let them continue to fire on the planet, sir.  They have to be stopped!
Gov_Kissem says:
@::hears the sound of weapons fire hitting her city and panics:: COM: DJ: Someone there? We're under attack. Please help us!
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::picks up line two::
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Raise shields, go to red alert. Get trigger happy and blow them all away Commander.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Way to go, sir!
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Whenever you're ready, engage.
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::taps the Red Alert button and then targets the weapon's systems:: We need to get closer, sir.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: I don't suppose we could beam one of those beasties aboard while we're at it, sir?   I'd love to psychoanalyze them.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::raises an eyebrow::  Com: Kissem:  We are engaging the enemy as we speak, Ma'am.
Host Captain_Grift says:
CMO: Perhaps I can get you a corpse, Doctor.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Cool.  Cadavers are always needed in med school.
Host Captain_Grift says:
::Returns to his chair and keeps an eye on the viewer.::
CTO_Webster says:
::continues working, but speaks to the CO:: CO: If we do this correctly, no one should be injured, sir.
Gov_Kissem says:
@COM:DJ:CSO: Just save my people, please.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Sees the Red Alert Klaxons go off and quickly orders his Engineering Teams into their preplanned positions.::
CMO_Fielding says:
::mutters something about how all this jabbering is keeping her awake::
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
COM: Kissem:  Yes Ma'am, we are sure trying.  DJ out.  ::cuts the cord::
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Waits for the designated moment to get a status report from his Engineers.:: *Engineers*: Status report!  ::Starts getting reports of their positions and their readiness.::
CTO_Webster says:
<FCO_Cord> CO: Sir, permission to move the DJ into range?
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Send the course you desire to the helm.
CTO_Webster says:
CO: He should have it, sir.
Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Engage.
CTO_Webster says:
<FCO_Cord> CO: Aye, sir ::moves the ship along the planned path::
Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The Zynque ship sees the DJ at once and opens fire, rocking the DJ.  Engineering systems go offline for a moment and then return.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::grabs her console and grits her teeth.. a pregnant woman going into battle... always fun::
CTO_Webster says:
::holds on as the ships rock:: CO: Tactical still online, sir.  We'll be in range in 30 seconds.
CMO_Fielding says:
::opens a comm to Sickbay and taps out 'get ready code trigger' in Morse code rather sleepily::
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Monitors the ships Red Alert automated diagnostics as they complete. Then nods to himself.:: *XO*: All ships systems arrre rrready sirrr.  All Engineerrring Teams in place too.
Host Captain_Grift says:
::hangs onto the arms of his chair as the DJ takes fire immediately.::
CTO_Webster says:
<FCO_Cord> ::pushes hands against his console, trying to make it go faster::
CMO_Fielding says:
::fortunately, doesn't roll out from under the console, but does crack her head rather nastily on the console::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CEO*:  Thank you.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Shakes a bit as the ship is hit.  Then looks over at the power generation display as all the lights momentarilly go out.  Then sighs with relief as they come back online.  Quickly starts a power systems diagnostic.::
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  SIR!  Another Zynque ship is rounding on us!!
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Captain, Engineering reports as ready.
CTO_Webster says:
CO: 15 seconds, sir.  ::fingers hover over console::
Host Captain_Grift says:
CSO: A third one?
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO:  The second, sir.
CTO_Webster says:
::quickly assesses the second ship - too far to attack the DJ::
CMO_Fielding says:
::mumbles something about the Bridge being too noisy to sleep in and stands up::
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Brings up the power level generation of the warp core to increase availble power.::
Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Maintain course.
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Firing now, sir ::presses button and phaser erupts from the DJ, focusing on the ship's weapon's systems::
Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The first ship takes another shot at the DJ and hits throwing the DJ's fire out of range.
CMO_Fielding says:
::wobbles to the turbolift and calls up Sickbay to make sure all is well.  All is well, except for the fact that Hyde answered instead of Bridges::
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::holds on again but tries to keep scanning for the second ship and keep it's course in range::
CMO_Fielding says:
::bangs her head on the turbolift wall, since the stupid door obligingly opened::
CTO_Webster says:
::sees her shots go off course, regains acquisition and fires again::
Host Captain_Grift says:
::Pulls up the SIF field strength on his monitor and looks for fluctuations::
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Second volley on its way, sir.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Shakes his head as he looks over at the Master Situation Display.:: *XO*: We have a hull breach sir! ::Sends his Engineers into action.::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CEO*:  Seal off that section!
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Remember the Kobayashi Maru, sir.  ::passes out::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Engineering reports a hull breach, sir.
CEO_Tremlar says:
*XO*: We're on it sir... ::Taps on the console.:: Almost done.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO/CTO:  Second ship is not in range, yet, still 4 minutes away!
Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Evacuate the affected decks and seal with forcefields.
CTO_Webster says:
::smiles as this time the phasers beams hit their targets:: CO: A hit, sir.  Starboard phaser array.
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO:  Aye sir, already being taken care of.
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Damage?
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Orders his Assistant Engineer to go and oversee the hull breach.::
Host Captain_Grift says:
::Stands and runs around the bridge up to the SCI 2 station behind Tactical for more detailed information about the Zynque's ship status::
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::meeps and gets out of his way::
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Their starboard phasers are offline, sir, but they still have port phasers.
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Also, hull breaches - starboard aft sections of the ship.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Receives reports that there are a couple of casualties.  Then orders his Engineer's to seal the hull breach at all costs.  Then quickly moves over to the Master Situation Display to get a better reading of the ships damages.::
Host Captain_Grift says:
::turns and shouts to the CMO:: CMO: I think they'll need you in sickbay Doctor.
CMO_Fielding says:
CO: Darn them, sir.
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: Are they still firing on the planet?
CMO_Fielding says:
::orders the turbolift to Sickbay::
CTO_Webster says:
CO: Aye, sir, using their port phasers.  We need to reposition ourselves to target them.
CEO_Tremlar says:
*CMO*: I've got injured on their way to Sickbay doctor... ::Growls a bit.:: And a few casualties... ::Closes the channel and continues to work.::
CMO_Fielding says:
::tumbles out of Sickbay and, bless her cerebellum, walks into Sickbay, tells Hyde "Casualties!", and keels over::
Host Captain_Grift says:
::turns back towards SCI2 and points at the scan of the Zynque ship:: CTO: Concentrate on getting those phasers offline!
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CO/CTO:  Second ship in Range!!!!
CTO_Webster says:
<FCO_Cord> CO: Course laid in, sir!
CMO_Fielding says:
::Hyde and Bridges run around getting the place ready for casualties, hiding the CMO surreptitiously behind a convenient crook in the wall::
Host Captain_Grift says:
FCO: Try to use one ship to shield us from the other.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Stomps over to the Master Situation Monitor and taps at various controls.:: Self: Decks 18 and 19... Section Baker 21 to 23... ::Purrs with relief as some of the sections are sealed and walks back to the Master Systems Display.::
CTO_Webster says:
<FCO_Cord> CO: Aye, sir. ::replots course::
CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> *CO*: Ready for casualties at any moment, sir, if they'd just walk through the door.  Let me know if you need emergency transport, please.
CEO_Tremlar says:
*XO*: Decks 18 and 19, Section Bakerrr 21 left.  Should have them sealed within a couple of moments sirrr.
Gov_Kissem says:
@::ducks under table as some plaster falls from the ceiling:: COM: DJ: Help! The dome is collapsing! Save us please!
CTO_Webster says:
::grumbles under her breath that she has been trying to take out the enemies phasers:: CO: Aye, sir!
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
*CEO*:  Well done, Lieutenant.
Host Captain_Grift says:
XO: Replay all injury reports to the CMO.
CTO_Webster says:
<FCO_Cord> ::maneuvers the DJ to get between the two enemies::
CEO_Tremlar says:
::Pushes aside the list of casualties and continues with his duties.::
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
COM:  Kissem:  We are trying our best, Ma’am!!!
CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> Bridges: Hey, there are casualty reports coming in for The Boss!  What do I do now???
CMO_Fielding says:
<Bridges> Hyde: Pretend to BE the CMO, you idiot!
XO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::finds the reports and pipes them down to the CMO's office::
CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> Bridges: Oh.  That was easy.
CTO_Webster says:
::looks up:: CO: Sir, I suggest we try to beam the Dyson's from the city.  If the dome collapses, they will die.
Host Captain_Grift says:
CTO: If we lower our shields... we die.
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
CTO:  Besides, that would take way too long.
CTO_Webster says:
::frowns - she should have considered that::
CMO_Fielding says:
<Hyde> ::now in his element as the Emergency Medical Specialist:: Emergency teams: Team 1, this is your assignment.  Team 2, these are yours.  Go, go, go!
Host ACTD_Chris says:
ACTION: The two ships fire on the DJ. One miss.......the other hits a section of the bridge. The CO, standing at SCI2 is thrown backwards as the console explodes.
CEO_Tremlar says:
::A slight smile traces his furry face as his Assistant Engineer reports that the Damage Control Teams have completed some of the repairs to the ships systems.::
CMO_Fielding says:
::isn't too worried about dying::
Host Captain_Grift says:
::Is thrown backwards from SCI 2 as the console explodes in a shower of flame and sparks::
CSO_Jala-Sanders says:
::ducks::
Host Captain_Grift says:
::hits the back of the tactical console and slumps to the ground motionless::
