USS  Don Johnson  NCC-61701
Mission 10403.11

.
Host Loren says:
Summary - Stardate 10403.11 After recovering five survivors from the Black Hole 2, the freighter for some as yet unexplained reason suddenly powered its impulse engines and aimed itself at one of the system's suns.  The maneuver was thwarted by a well placed phaser blast, taking out the impulse engines.  The DJ has latched onto the crippled freighter with grapples and cables, saving it from a fiery demise.  Now, as things seem to be settling 

Host Loren says:
<<<<<Resume Mission:  Beware the Sleeping Dragon, Episode 5>>>>>>

CMO_Sea says:
::In Sickbay::

Host CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::On main bridge::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
::In command chair::

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Sitting at her console bringing up the tactical sensor array.::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: I suggest we tow the freighter out of the interference and beam the computer core to main eng

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Smiles noting that all is ordinary for the moment.::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: Sir, how can I or my department assist you in your investigation of the BH2?

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Patient Tia Tada stirrs in sickbay

CMO_Sea says:
::Walks by the containment field, stopping for a moment watching the EMH tending to the patients::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: ::Blinks a couple of times:: A computer-ectomy? Ok, go ahead.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
*Engineering*: Engine status?

CMO_Sea says:
::Listens to him prattle on about this and that.  Thinks he needs an attitude adjustment::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: We would need to be outside the system to commence beaming

Host Loren says:
<ENG> *CO*:  Fully operational down here skipper

CNS_Shirley says:
::Walks into sickbay and looks around for the CMO::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
*ENG*: Thanks! Great work as usual.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::Wonders who is Gilligan::

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  Aloud:  The dragons, dragons…  Gotta run…  Must run, The dragons, they're here!  They're here!

CMO_Sea says:
::Turns as she hears a new set of footsteps heading her way:: CNS: Welcome.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
DUTY_FCO: Turn us around and take us out of the interference. Full impulse.

Host Loren says:
<ENG> *CO*:  We aim to please, boss

Host CO_Hawkes says:
<DUTY_FCO>: CO: Aye sir! ::Taps some buttons::

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  ::babbles on::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
OPS: When we are clear of the system please beam the computer core to cargo bay one

Host CO_Hawkes says:
*ENG*: ::chuckles, then closes the comm::

CMO_Sea says:
::Turns again:: EMH:  See what you can do to calm her down.

CMO_Sea says:
<EMH> CMO: Aye, give me a second.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: And stand by on tractors to slow the BH2's Momentum.

Host Loren says:
ACITON:  The DJ lurches a little as the mass of the BH2 transfers along the cables 

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  Aloud:  Must go.  GO!  No!  NO!

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: Aye sir.  Any security field established at time of beaming?

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Nods to the CO acknowledging him, bringing the tractor to readiness.::

CMO_Sea says:
<EMH> Tia: Now now, don't struggle so ::presses the hypo to her neck::

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  EMH:  What!  No!  Nooooooooo.  ::settles down::

Host CSO_JohnSea says:
::Drums finger on panel, scanning for neutrino anomalies::

CMO_Sea says:
::Reaches for her tricorder in her pocket and scans the patient from the distance::

CNS_Shirley says:
::Looks around to see what i can do::

OPS_C_Pino says:
Self: Hmm, let's see if we can do this without tearing ourselves apart as well.

CMO_Sea says:
::Takes more keys and looks worried::

CMO_Sea says:
CNS: Good morning

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  ::falls into an uneasy unconscious state, speaks the odd babbling sentence ::

CNS_Shirley says:
CMO:  Good Morning.  Anything I can do to help?

CMO_Sea says:
CNS: Yes, I could use some help here with our patient Tia. She seems very upset, so much so that I have to keep her sedated. She keeps talking about dragons and right now I can't understand what she is saying.

CNS_Shirley says:
CMO:  I will see what I can do....

CMO_Sea says:
::Holds up her tricorder to show the CNS:: CNS: Perhaps you can connect with her in some way, from out here though.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Now detecting neutrino displacement with the energy fields of this system, looks like a vessel, possibly cloaked

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  Aloud, while sedated:  Dragons, ::babbles::  ::starts to sob::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Range and vector?

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Triangulating::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Calculating

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Awaiting the NOW order.::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Range 150,000 km just within phaser range I believe, behind Epsilon Hydra III's moon, which I am in the process of naming.  I think Lunar Sea moon sounds good

CMO_Sea says:
::Hands her tricorder to the CNS:: CNS: good hunting. I have several house calls to make this morning.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
DUTY_FCO: Alter course, carefully. If we have to engage or go to erratic maneuvering, release the tow and pull us out of the BH2's path. Let it sling by.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
<DUTY_FCO>:CO: Aye.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: See if they react to our course alteration.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Ready on weapons.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: How about Lunasea sir?

CNS_Shirley says:
CMO: Alright I will try..

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Yes Captain.

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Prepares the phasers.::

CSO_JohnSea says:
OPS: Hee that works, been there many times

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: After all sir that is what this mission is turning out to be, right?  ::Smiles.::

CSO_JohnSea says:
OPS: There be dragons here ::smiles::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Suggest shields and disconnecting the cables

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Neutrino surge falls off

CNS_Shirley says:
Tia:  can you hear me.....

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Oh I think they're on to us, neutrino surge fell off, they probably stopped

CMO_Sea says:
::Leaves Sickbay and takes the lift to the brig::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Sir, I'm ready on your Mark to extend the tractor and deploy the shielding.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: ::Nodds::

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  ::opens eyes, and looks directly at the CNS::  CNS:  They are coming!

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Stand by to release cables.

CNS_Shirley says:
Tia: who are coming?

CNS_Shirley says:
Tia: I am trying to help you we do not want to hurt you at all....

Host Loren says:
<TIA> CNS:  Dragons.  ::sits up::  Run!

Host CO_Hawkes says:
DUTY_FCO: Stand by to sling the BH2 past us . . . preferably towards the edge of the interference. Then bring us around and all stop.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Standing by.  ::The release control, just above her hands.::

CNS_Shirley says:
Tia: I do not see the dragons so it is alright ....

CMO_Sea says:
<EMH> :;turns at the shout then looks directly at the CNS:: CNS: I can't have you upsetting my patients, please leave!

Host Loren says:
<TIA> CNS: NO!  ::giggles::  You will see.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Once we drop speed, go to low energy grey mode.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Standby to launch probe.

CMO_Sea says:
<EMH> ::reaches for another hypo and approaches Tia::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS/DUTY_FCO: Now!

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Standing by

CNS_Shirley says:
EMH: I am trying to find out what is going on with her.  And to see if i can help her out in anyway.

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Tactical Alert - Sensors detecting launch, multiple torpedo signatures

OPS_C_Pino says:
::As soon as the FCO, activates the slowing, changes ship mode to Grey.::

OPS_C_Pino says:
::The Tactical claxon goes off.::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Incoming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Multiple torpedoes.....

CMO_Sea says:
<EMH> CNS: Do you have the authority to question this patient? ::nose in the air attitude that really angers humans::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
DUTY_FCO: Evasive....avoid the BH2!

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  6 photon torpedoes come out from behind the mood, and streak towards the DJ's position

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Highlight the BH2 with sensors. Light it up!

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Fire full spread!

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Tries to get a reading on the torpedoes.::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Oh, and full shields

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Aye sir, any specific location?

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Raises Alert.::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Freighter painted as navigation hazard, suggest going to warp

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Back azimuth of incoming.

CNS_Shirley says:
EMH: if you want to find out go ahead and talk to the CMO. But I need to find out what is going on with this patient as well so I can help the other crew.

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Logs onto FCO::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Roll starboard access 55 degrees 55 degrees starboard port hold on

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Three torpedoes are destroyed by the DJ, the other three slam into the BH2, ripping it apart in a brilliant flash of light and scattering debris

OPS_C_Pino says:
Self: Da.... Darn.

CMO_Sea says:
<EMH> CNS: Wellll....if you must ::holds off on giving the patient another sedative.......but keeps a weary eye on the two::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Damage report?

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Black Hole Obliterated

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: No damage to us

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Them things came from behind that moon.  Now to identify them.......

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Well, that solves one problem.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Suggest launching a string of probes and see if we get lucky

CMO_Sea says:
::exits at the brig level and walks down the corridor, thinking that it felt as if the ship shuttered::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Works for me. ::Smiles::

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Fires a spread of probes to circle the moon::

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Bow up angle 35 degrees protecting warp nacelles::

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Activates a scan of the BH2 debris field.::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Target any other incoming missiles with phasers. Take us back to grey mode.

CMO_Sea says:
::Places hand on the wall, feeling the throb of the DJ's engines::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The probes are destroyed, one by one

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  OPS picks up a distress signal from outside the system.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Sir I'm picking up a distress call from outside this system.  Shall we stay at Alert, our probes are being destroyed.

CNS_Shirley says:
EMH: thank you

CMO_Sea says:
<EMH> ::nods and folds his arms across his chest, in one hand he holds a tricroder::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Can you identify? Any other ships in the area?

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: I either read a really large ship or a small one with a huge power signature

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  ::laughs::  CNS:  Its starting again.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: In the mean time, drift us out of current position.

CMO_Sea says:
::Continues towards the brig::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: I'm attempting to identify the signal.  I do know that someone or something armed is behind that moon.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: yes Sir, right standard rudder no power

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: This could be rather expensive but I suggest sending a shuttle with a great deal of antimatter around the moon at warp one and detonating it

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Send out a probe to get a fix on distress signal source. I hope you have stock in probes...they're gonna' be big.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Sir there is no record of any vessels in this vicinity; however you know how accurate reports can be......

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Tempting. ::obviously considering it::

CMO_Sea says:
::Finds the medical bay on the brig level and enters the office::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Yes. Plus not everyone files a flight plan. My guess is it's a decoy, but we have to  be sure before we can ignore it.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: I'm picking up audio,  ::Runs it through the matrix and gets ready to play it at the CO's request.::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Agreed.

CMO_Sea says:
::Finds it empty, but takes a look in the back::

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Launches probe to check on distress signal::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: What I wouldn't give for a cloaking device right about now........

Host CO_Hawkes says:
::Notes with some amusement that "Run Silent, Run Deep" is the morale officer's movie of the week::

CMO_Sea says:
::Enters the exam room, also finding it empty::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  EO Harris is sleeping in his cell, his injuries have been repaired, he is sleeping off the sedative.

CSO_JohnSea says:
OPS: I know the feeling

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: About that bomb....

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Well, they seem to have one ::points at the moon:: Maybe we can take theirs.

CMO_Sea says:
::Locates a padd on the chief's desk and picks it up::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Starfleet would love us.... The audio sir....

CMO_Sea says:
::Scrolls down the padd and locates his report on EO Harris::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Go ahead, but send a full spread of probes with it. More targets, better odds.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Go ahead, patch it through.

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Plays the audio from the distress signal.::

CMO_Sea says:
::Nods to herself and turns to leave the medical bay office and almost runs into the physician in charge:: Dr. Brown: Sorry, I didn't hear you, please excuse me.

Host Loren says:
<SIGNAL>  COMM:  Assistance required, we are a commercial passenger transport, our engines have become disabled, request assistance.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Gotcha ::orders staff to drain Antimatter from the surplus antimatter pods, and place a healthy quantity inside the shuttle::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: Can we put some deflecting device on the shielding of some of those probes?

CMO_Sea says:
<Dr. Brown> CMO: Ah, I beg your pardon then, I didn't mean to startle you.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Isn't it customary to identify one's self when transmitting?

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Has some suspicions.::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Drone distress call

CMO_Sea says:
Dr. Brown: Not to worry, doctor. I was only checking on EO Harris condition and it seems that you have things well in hand.  Please let me know when he's awake, I'd like to see him then.

CMO_Sea says:
<Dr. Brown> CMO: Aye, I shall see to it Doctor. :;smiles::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Launching Probes and shuttle now

CMO_Sea says:
::Nods and leaves the medbay::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: I knew it! ::a little louder than he intended, then, more normal:: It was too coincidental.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: ::nods::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: I hate to speculate unsubstantiated claims sir, however call it intuition, but I think that distress call may be a lure to get us away from whatever is going on behind that moon.

CMO_Sea says:
::Walks down the hallway, thinking she might head toward the bridge to see what's going on::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Probes are again destroyed one by one as they get into range

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Stand by on weapons. If we flush them, be ready.

CMO_Sea says:
::Enters the lift:: TL: Bridge

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: I think you're right Ens.

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Waits now for shuttle to whips around at warp one and detonate as the probes are distracting them::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Understood Captain.

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Shuttle accelerates to warp and comes down on the location behind the moon and explodes, everyone watches to see what happens next

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: While they're distracted, shift our location.

CMO_Sea says:
::Rides the lift, counting the decks off as they pass::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Detonation, moving now while they are blinded

Host Loren says:
<TIA>  ::continues to babble, and giggle::

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Blinks.:: Self: What in the......

CMO_Sea says:
::As the doors to the TL part, Megan sets foot on the bridge and stands there watching::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Take us around under the moon. Let's see how 3D their thinking is.

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Pilots DJ under the moon's southern pole::

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Hides in the magnetic pole::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Anything on sensors?

CMO_Sea says:
::Puts arm out to hold onto the wall, as it seems we are on a wild ride to.....::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Waiting to see

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  A huge vessel appears on the DJ's sensors, and visually.  It's configuration is not known, its power signature is almost off the chart.  

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: That’s a biggie

CMO_Sea says:
::Looks towards her husbands station::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
::Stares at the screen::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Well let’s slink away <G>

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Looks over to his wife::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  The mystery ship fires at the DJ with phaser type particle beams that violently impact on the DJ,  shields drop to 70% Forward, 90% aft

CMO_Sea says:
::Nods as she takes a seat::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Fire full spread!

OPS_C_Pino says:
All: Why don't we make peace with the Romulans and get one of them Cloaking devices NOW?

CMO_Sea says:
::Holds on, knuckles white::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Take us out of here!

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Hangs on:: CO: Accelerating to emergency warp !

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Cuts in the main warp drives accelerating to warp 9 with emergency power::

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Hopes:: CO: Foot on the pedal

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  DJ's return fire hits target,. but is easily absorbed by its shields.  Mystery ship returns fire, particle weapons and torpedoes, hitting the DJ.  System start to blow out, there is moderate damage

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Make sure you get all of our data on that ship ready for Starfleet intel.

CMO_Sea says:
::Wonders what she walked in on::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Evasive!

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Suggest drop forward shields and reinforce rear shields

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  DJ limps out of the system are warp speed

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Keep shooting until you can't see it anymore or run out of torpedoes.

CSO_JohnSea says:
::Using emergency warp drives::

CMO_Sea says:
::Grips the seat as she taps her comm badge:: *Sickbay*: Be ready for causalities, we on a wild rollercoaster ride ::wonders what the EMH will make of that::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: No Problem sir.  ::Completely engulfed in firing at that thing.::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Set course for SB 279, Max available warp.

Host Loren says:
<ENG>  *Bridge*:  Bridge, we have damage to our warp core, we have to slow this thing down before we hurt something!

CSO_JohnSea says:
OPS: Shutdown non essential power priority shields, engines and torpedoes

Host CO_Hawkes says:
*ENG*: Understood.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: No sign of pursuit, throttling back

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Slow us down until ENG is comfortable.

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  DJ drops to sub-light, trailing plasma from the port nacelle.

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Begins process of shutting down the non essentials and orders crew to leave those identified areas as per protocol.::

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: Aye, process activated sir.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Yup I think we broke a nacelle

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Limping to SB 279 mains are offline

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: Could've been worse. Funny, for such a big powerful ship, why bother sniping at us? ::shakes head:: Odd.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: I think they are afraid of coming out of the nebula, I theorize they draw power from the nebula

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Add up the probes, shuttles and torps we used. We'll need to resupply.

Host Loren says:
<ENG> *Bridge*:  Damage reports coming in now.  Main energizer hit, we took damage to our plasma conduit to the port nacelle, its venting drive plasma.

OPS_C_Pino says:
::Interrupts.:: CO: They don't want us knowing about them.  ::With conviction.::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: ::Nods:: That could well be.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: I think they would have loved to capture us

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: Well, they blew that one, didn't they! ::Grins::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CMO: Any casualties?

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: I think we need to be towed into Starbase...........again.............sigh

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: We are most likely targets of some sort and should be very very alert and cautious until this is settled.::

Host Loren says:
ACTION:  Casualties  - no deaths, 15 injured, 5 severely.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: The starbase is going to love us, we are going to wipe them clean of restock supplies.  Good thing currency is no longer used, we'd be in debt.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: ::Laughs:: I'm sorry. If that's the case, fine, at least we have something for them. ::doesn't mention that he'll have to explain a few things too::

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: Well we did find the dragon and at least didn’t get eaten we get points for living <G>

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO: With us trailing warp plasma from the nacelle, we are an easy and tempting target.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
All: Maybe we could attach a shuttle to each grappler and have them tow us back. ::Chuckles::

CSO_JohnSea says:
OPS: No currency, but grumpy engineers and resource allocators.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CSO: Who will only shake their heads at us and wonder...

Host CO_Hawkes says:
OPS: ::Building on CSO's statements:: Yeah, so see if you can scrounge up some good booze to grease the wheels. <s>

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: The Don Johnson, we love to be towed

Host CO_Hawkes says:
CSO: ::Laughs out loud:: Not quite a motto...but maybe a bumper sticker.

CSO_JohnSea says:
CO: You know Romulan Ale is legal now and I have a case and.......

Host Loren says:
<ENG> *Bridge*:  Bridge, believe we can get minimum warp speed back in about a day, should be able to coax her to warp 4, maybe 4.5

Host CO_Hawkes says:
All: Well, all things considered, I think we acquitted ourselves rather well. Nothing to be ashamed of here. We came, we saw, and now we're gonna' live to tell.

OPS_C_Pino says:
CO/CSO: That would be against Starfleet policies, especially for senior officers.  ::Cringes.::

Host CO_Hawkes says:
*Eng*: Make that happen, and you'll all get a week's leave!

Host Loren says:
<ENG>  *CO*:  Ha, can you put that in writing...  Sir.

Host CO_Hawkes says:
*Eng*: Give me my warp speed, and you'll get it in writting.

CSO_JohnSea says:
OPS: I would never consider passing a bottle of ale to an engineer, I've never done something like that in my career, I mean if I had a nickel for every time I passed a bottle of ale <G> I'd be rich

Host CO_Hawkes says:
::Fails to mention that they'll probably all get a little time off while the ship's fixed.::

Host Loren says:
<ENG>  *CO*:  will do boss Hawkes

Host Loren says:
