10503.03 Home Fires…  Part III

FADE IN:  The USS Don Johnson continues to orbit earth. Admiral MacLeod has signaled that his meeting with Admiral Hanwright has concluded and that he well be returning shortly, he has ordered that he be returned to Starbase 279.

But something isn't quite right.  The Admiral's uniform doesn't have an admiral's rank insignia.  What ever could be the reason for that?

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACTION:  The Admiral and the CTO dematerialize and moments later, re-materialize in Transporter room one, on the DJ

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::feels the transporter effect take place and sees the shift in scene  -  arriving at his new home ::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:

Radm_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Yes?

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
Admiral: Begging your pardon, sir, but I could not distinguish you as an admiral... due to your lack of insignia... :: becomes nervous ::

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
[On planet Earth]<Deanna>: Confiduin: You know how much you mean to us and me.  We've been through a lot of hard stuff but we've also had some really great times.  You know that if you ever need someone to talk to yourself in this new job of yours all you have to do is just call.

Radm_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Observant, that's a good trait in a tactical officer.  ::steps off the platform and exits the TR, leaving the ensign dumbfounded::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CEO: Yes I am more than sure.  She is dead!  J'Loni is sure to crack from this.

*CO*:  Captain, I'd like to return to Starbase 279 as soon as possible, can we make that happen?

CO_Santoni says:
<OPS>CO: No, we are still missing a few.... there is a shuttle in coming... and CNS Pino should be arriving... ::shrugs::

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
[On planet Earth]Deanna: I know, but its just not the same over a monitor.  This real thing is best.  That is what I intend to instill in my crew.  I want them to know that the real is the best way to help oneself.  Holo-progams are okay but they just aren't the same.  The psychobiochemists give the scientific proof of it too.

Radm_MacLeod says:
::enters a TL::  TL:  Deck 2.  ::ignores the ensign::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Captain internal communications are offline in addition to external communications. Looks like sabotage.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: pulls his phaser out and gets to the ready ::

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
~~~CSO: Understood but what the hell is going on?~~~

CO_Santoni says:
COMM: Metcalf: It seems that MacLeod took over the DJ and has turned almost everything offline... Can you help?

Radm_MacLeod says:
LCARS:  CTO :  Unable to comply, the door servo is jammed.

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Internal sensors are out as well.

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:

~~~~CSO: To any telepath in SB, we are under attack , send reinforcements and attach docking clamps~~~

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACITON:  A transport cycle has started.  Internal, site to site.

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Damn!

Radm_MacLeod says:
<Cmd_Metcalf> [At Starbase One] Comm. DJ:  CO:  I'm sorry no.  You caught us at a bad time Captain.  I have no ships available.

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::closes her eyes and clears her mind forcefully and tries to get a mental lock on the Admiral::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: Suggest 30 minute countdown

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: opens a service panel below the crew panel and attempts a manual release ::

CO_Santoni says:
COMM: Metcalf: Can you do site to site transport? Get the Adm. out of here as well as family? We may have to auto-destruct the ship...

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Transporter system has been activated. Looks like a site to site within ship. ::Looking at her console transporter blinking screen.::

CO_Santoni says:
::hears the CSO's comment and nods::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: Comm systems are down

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Site to site from where to where?

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
*Computer* Destruct Sequence Priority access

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACTION:  Limited internal sensors are restored, enough to trace the transporter cycle.  Traced to the main shuttle bay

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: attempts to pull open the door with his fingertips as the crewmembers are aimed at the ready ::

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACTION:  CTO's manual release works, the door slides heavily open

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::sends text message to all civilians to abandon ship::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
~~~~CSO: Relay this to the Captain.  I have a slight mental lock on the Admiral  and I can sense his mental state.~~~~

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Captain the shuttle bay.  Transport traced to the shuttle bay.  ::Attempts to get a minimal priority internal communications online.::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
~~~XO: If you can get to the Shuttle Bay there has been one site to site~~~

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Can you make sure the doors stay shut in the shuttle bay?

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
~~~*CSO*: Understood on my way there.~~~

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::attempting to restore comms::

Radm_MacLeod says:

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::~~~`Adm has gone rogue~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
~~~*CEO*: I need you to manually lock the shuttle bay doors shut.~~~

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::attempt transporter lock on ADM::

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Working on it.  I'll also try to disable the shuttles in that room remotely so they won't work either.  We can consider taking life support out in there as well.

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Good idea.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::is racing to the shuttle bay full gallop::

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
~~~CSO: Core ejection systems are down and understood about the shuttle bay door~~~

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
~~~CEO: Please attempt to bring comms and transporter online~~~

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: Someone is stealing a shuttlecraft

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::working with limited internal sensors::

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Captain, what is this all about anyway?  What is going on with the Admiral?

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
::points to 6 crewman and orders them to get to work on internal and external communications::

CO_Santoni says:
CSO: Yeah that's what I was suspecting from that site to site transport.

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: No idea

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
::he pulls up the problem with the transporter::

CO_Santoni says:
ALL: Do all you can do to stop them and restore power.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: Shall I let them escape? They will likely blow the door?

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::pulls up short in front of the shuttle bay::

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: pulls his phaser out and starts looking around - where would he go.... he would want to get off the ship, and the starbase is not likely... shuttle bay :: Aloud: Let's move!  Get to the main shuttle bay.  :: starts running out of the Admiral's quarters and heads for the turbolift ::

CO_Santoni says:
CSO: May be best to let them escape then loose the ship or more. We can trace them back after....

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
*Computer* shut down all shuttles and beam occupants of shuttle to brig

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
~~~*CSO*: Sir I can feel the admirals emotions~~~

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: What about cutting power to the holo emitters shipwide?  Might slow him down without his SARAH.

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACTION:  Two micro-torpedoes blast out of the shuttle and impact the bay door, the door explodes outward as emergency force fields seal the breach.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::opens shuttle doors::

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Try it!

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
::feels the ship shake:: Self: what the hell was that?

Radm_MacLeod says:
<LCARS>  CSO:  Unable to comply, transporter systems are currently running a level one diagnostic series

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: feels the ship rumble and gets tossed softly against a wall ::

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
*CEO*: Chief kill the shipwide holoemitters.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: The Admiral is in such a state of stress I think it is the driving force behind his actions.

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Are external comms still working?

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Captain he/they are trying to break through the doors and subsequent force field.  I'm still trying to remotely power down the shuttle.

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
::shuts down all emitters:: *CSO*: Transporter have been place in diag mode its going to be a few hours but I have an idea

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
~~~CEO cancel eject order~~~~

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACTION:  The shuttle moves forward and through the opening, it moves out into space and away from the DJ

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
*Computer*: Connect to Iwo Jima computer

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: There they go ::points main viewer::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
Self: Damn!!!!!

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
~~~CSO: Core ejecting order?

CO_Santoni says:
COMM: Metcalf: The Adm. and his hologram have escaped....

Radm_MacLeod says:
<LCARS>  CEO:  Connected.

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
::Sends out a tracking beacon to the shuttle as it speeds away into space.::

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACTION:  The shuttle goes to warp.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
~~~~CEO:  Since the core didn’t eject, never mind they're gone~~~

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: grumbles feeling the rumble and knows already what happened - stares down at his phaser and feels emotional ... turns and walks towards the main turbolift ::

CO_Santoni says:
CSO: Try to keep track of the shuttle as long as you can.

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Captain he's gone.  I've managed to fire a tracking beacon and attach it to the shuttle.  ::Activates the beacon and awaits information.::

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
Self: Damn

Radm_MacLeod says:
ACTION:  The tracking beacon attached to the shuttle just as it went to warp.

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Send a message to Cmdr Metcalf saying the admiral is gone and send him tracking info.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO:  I can't see passed the Earth Ma'am

CO_Santoni says:
*ALL*: Get the DJ back up in shape. We have a mouse to catch.
CSO: Aye.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: I am sorry ma'am I wasn't fast enough to get him.  I have failed in my orders.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: enters the turbolift and alerts it to take him to the bridge ::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CO: At present we need a tug to drag us back, all propulsion is offline and we risk falling into the atmosphere

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
CO: Captain those bay doors are going to need to be replaced before we can safely attain high warp consistently.

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
*Computer*: Disconnect from Iwo Jima computer and list all damage and any problems

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CNS: I agree

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: walks onto the bridge feeling like he has already failed his first assignment - walks to his station and stands there at it looking down at the console ::

Host Loren says:
<LCARS>  CEO:  Working.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::slowly heads for the bridge::

CO_Santoni says:
*XO*: You did your best, Number One. Come back on the bridge. We'll assist everyone in bringing us back to shape.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CTO: It wasn’t your fault it was an inside job, well done

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
Self: Again I have failed.  This is not going to sit well on my record.

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
::Does immediate diagnostics on all the OPS functions and while awaiting results starts to hypothesize what is going on with the MacLeod::

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
~~~CSO: Sir most of the system computer system are a mess and its going to take a good part of a day to fix. Computer is listing all problems down.~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*CO*: Understood on my way.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
:: nods and softly says :: CSO: Thank you, commander.

CO_Santoni says:
CNS: Send a message to the starbase to send a tug and place an order for new doors. ::sighs::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
~~~*CEO*: What does engineering look like?~~~

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CTO: We were all had

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
~~~CEO: Activate the disaster beacon and send for a tug~~~

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::enters the TL and orders it to the bridge::

CNS_LtJg_C_Pino says:
COM: Metcalf: Don Johnson to Metcalf.  MacLeod managed to sabotage our systems.  We need to replace our bay doors before we can safely go on our way.  We did manage to get a tracking beacon onto the stolen shuttle. ::Sends the info to the SB.::

CEO_LtJg_Arca says:
~~~*XO*: The computer is a mess and most systems are in diag mode I going to have to wipe the computer and start all over~~
