The Chase
Part V

FADE IN: Our heroes have lost their quarry. Admiral MacLeod has seemingly vanished with the Hydra. But they have got his personal holographic assistant, Sarah.

She was pulled from the transport ship Roxanne’s transporter beam and deposited in the DJ brig, where she remains, mad as a hornet and twice as dangerous.

The Roxanne, damaged by a graviton burst from the DJ, is fast making repairs. And will be able to go to warp soon.

{{{{{{{RESUME: THE CHASE, PART 5}}}}}}

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::Immediately scanning for chroniton wake portal::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::Exits a TL onto the bridge::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::Scanning for chroniton wake to follow Admiral::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::sitting in the big chair again::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: I am scanning for a chroniton wake , I suggest we disable the Roxanne with surgical phaser hits

Host Sarah says:
::standing in her cell, right next to the force field. She lightly touches the field causing it to react.  She could be testing it::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::walks over to the XO: XO: Commander.:: waits for her attention::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: It is impossible at this point to even try to follow.  We have no idea which time period or where he is.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: If there is a wake we can follow

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::turns to the CEO::CEO: Yes what is  it???

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::hands two PADDs to her::XO Sir the updated damage list to the DJ and Midway

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::takes the PADDs and reads them over::
CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: The DJ blown power conducts have be replaced

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: The rift has collapsed, I urgently suggest we disable the Roxanne before she jumps to warp. ::scanning Roxanne power outputs::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: The Midways superstructure and hull are almost complete but I won't touch inside till the investigation is over

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne]::steps onto flight deck:: Rev:  Rev, how we doing?

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CEO: Good......::hears the CSO:: CSO: Not now she isn't.  CEO: Send a higher concentrated wave this time.  I want her permanently shut down.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev> Seamus:  Davis has main power back, we can scoot any time.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CSO: She is powering up for a warp jump

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CEO: Now would be a good time.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: A phaser hit would do it

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] ::looks out the flight deck window at the DJ::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::walks over to his console and set up a higher concentration wave::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  Boss?

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] Rev:  Anything from the rift?

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  Nothing.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Just enough to disable her should do it but that we can do if the CEO's wave doesn't work.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::watching graviton levels decrease and engine intermix activity::
XO: Are you authorizing me to disable her through phaser fire?
CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::finger over button::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
ALL: I will not let this lo'Be Vos leave.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] Rev:  Prepare to get underway, and stand by on shields and weapons, just in case.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::looks at the CSO and then the XO not sure what she wants::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CEO: Do it.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev> ::works her controls with speed and ease::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Be ready to go if their power outputs do not drop immediately.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::feeding location on Roxanne into main fire control computer::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::presses a few command keys and fires the wave::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::watches intently::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::watching phaser lock crosshairs spin into lock and hum red::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  Seamus, another burst wave!

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne]  Rev:  Shields, now!

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: Main dish firing inverse burst initiated

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The wave impacts the Roxie, she appears to loose power.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Be ready to fire if it doesn't work and try rotating the shield nuation frequencies just to be sure.
CSO: Readouts of power from the Roxanne?

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::scans the Roxie repeatedly::
CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: The freighter appears to be loosing power, however this is much easier if we cut a nacelle.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: Sir I agree with the CSO just to make sure there not going anywhere.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Make absolutely sure of your target.  I don't want that ship damaged.  I need what is on that freighter.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: Firing phasers, 50/100 power at left pylon strut of Freighter warp engine.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Do it.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::fires main phasers::

CEO: Tie in main intermix chamber to heat up phaser output.

All: Phasers away.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::press button after button his console:: CSO: Tying in main intermix chamber.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::watches as the phasers are fired::

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The phasers hit the Roxie's left nacelle strut.   The nacelle appears to go off line.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::looks over his shoulder and the viewscreen::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne]::reels from the impact:: Rev:  Shields, now!

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::maintains fire until the strut is cut free::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  I'm trying!

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
All: It wont be long until I cut the pylon free.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::watching the events unfold::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::increases to 75/100 power pinpoint on pylon::

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The Roxie's left nacelle breaks free...  Drifts away slowly, trailing drive plasma.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: Sir we should send a team over there and secure the ship after that pylon is off.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: Success, ceasing fire.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  Son of a .....!  We're venting plasma!

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: I would push it.. ::watches the nacelle as it tears free::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::ceases fire::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] *Davis*:  Paul, shut down the warp core.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: If you wish I can surgically destroy the shield generator and weapons with surgical hits

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  That ices it.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::watches as the nacelle float away from the DJ.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::updating fire control::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] COM. DJ:  USS Don Johnson, this is the Roxanne, cease your damned fire!

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Make it so but standby on it.  I will only use it in emergency only.  Remember I want that ship intact.  She has something that I want.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: Commander I suggest we hail them... in coming hail.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: Pinpoint fire will not destroy her.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: I only intend to burn out her systems.
XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CEO/CSO: Yes by all means open hailing frequencies.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  We have shields back, and weapons are fully charged.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::opens a channel:: XO: Channel open Sir

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CEO: I suggest you get our shields back in place.

Host Seamus says:
Rev:  Get shields up, leave weapons for now.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
All: She isn’t escaping on main power, her systems are now on fusion and batteries, significant power reductions.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::shutting down metaphasic program and pulls up the normal shielding modules::

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::leaves the torpedo room running towards the lift:: TL: Bridge!

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
COMM:  Roxanne: This is Cmdr Shemara of the Don Johnson stand down and prepare to be boarded.

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  Roxanne's shield go up.  Output about 75% of main power normal.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CTO: I want an armed AT on that ship and I want it secured.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::feeds fire control and locks onto shield generators::

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::arrives on the bridge to hear the XO::XO: Aye, Sir. ::turns around and heads for the transporter room::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: Shield back to normal settings::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: Shields are up transport and boarding impossible.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
*Beta* Beta team... get to Transporter Room 1, now.  Be prepared to board an enemy vessel.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: I renew my request to have the ship's command systems burned out this will not cause hull damage.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Rotate the nuations to go through the shields and do your surgical hits.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] COMM. Shemara:  Commander Shemara of the Don Johnson...  I donna really appreciate you cutting away parts of my ship.  We are a long way from anywhere out here without warp drive.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: Fireing on their shield generators and their fusion reactors ::cuts loose::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::pinpoint surgical hits using all banks::

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::arrives into the transporter room seeing his team piling in, loading their weapons::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev> ::whispers:: Seamus:  Davis says we can still go to warp with one nacelle.  Best possible speed, factor 4

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
FCO: Bring all phaser emplacements to bear 1/2 impulse

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne]::nods to Rev::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
COMM: As I previously stated stand down or I will open fire on you.  You have aided and abetted the known federation criminal mainly one Admiral MacLeod and his hologram.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
*XO* Sir, we are now ready for transport, we are going to need the shields to be dropped for beam in.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*CTO*: Understood.  Working on it now.
CSO: Commander???? Now would be a good time.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: Sir with those graviton particles out there the transporters and tractor beam are useless.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: I have issued the fire command awaiting results.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::looks around at his crew in the transporter room:: Beta: This will be a standard insertion boarding party.  Prepare for possible firefight, and set your weapons on stun.  I want no casualties.  Numbers are unknown, but compliment is a possible dozen officers and crew, no more.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] COMM. Shemara:  They're not on my ship now, Commander

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::nods at everyone as they nod at him and understand him completely::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
*CEO*: Understood.  Waiting for the CSO's results.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::firing on all fusion reactors, shield generators, and power routes::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
COMM: Seamus, you have something on your ship I want and you did in fact bring him to the to the Torrel Prime system did you not????

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The Roxie shakes rattles and rolls from the hits.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
::maintaining fire::

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] Rev:  Bloody hell.  All-right, that's the game is it.  Return fire

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: Just to be on the safe side, I'd like to cut the right nacelle::
*Computer* Concentrate fire and cut the right nacelle clean off

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The Roxie fires phasers and torpedoes at the DJ, multiple shield impacts, moderate damage to DJ's outer hull

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::feels the ship rumble and knows the plan has changed::  Beta: Wait here Beta.

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The Roxie's shields are weakening.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] Rev:  All-right, get us out of here, best speed.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
COMM: Seamus: This is commander Sea, lets talk turkey, you hurt one of my people and I will cut loose and blow you into a million pieces.
CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::holds on to his console:: XO: Damage to the outer hull.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::runs for the turbolift, this time starting to breathe heavy:: TL: Bridge.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne]::Closes the channel::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
*CTO*: Ensign Ryan I think you better get up here

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The Roxie turns away, and begins to flee, impulse speed.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
*CEO* On my way, Sir.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
*Computer* Cut off the impulse engines.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Davis> ::After restoring the main reactor, and optimizing drive plasma to the remaining nacelle.:: Seamus:  You've got warp speed boss.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::strolls out onto the bridge, huffin and assuming the tactical station:: CTO: Ensign Ryan, reporting as ordered.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
CSO: Sir if the Roxie gets out of the minefield and particles then maybe able to go to warp

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  As the Roxie continues to take fire, her remaining nacelle flashes over with protons as warp drive is engaged.  The Roxie stumbles into warp

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CTO: Take the weapons and cut off the second warp nacelle

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
CSO: They have gone to warp, Sir.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
FCO: Pursue and use torpedoes to bring her out of warp.

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  DJ sensors can follow the Roxie's warp trail.  She is pushing warp 4 heading out of the system.

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne] <Rev>  Seamus:  They are going to run right over us you know.
CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::watches his console as the DJ goes to warp::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CTO: Maintain fire until she is out of warp

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne]::smiles as he accesses computer control::

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  The DJ enters warp, pursuing the Roxie.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
CSO: Aye, Sir. ::loads the forward torpedo bay:: Locking weapons. ::locks the forward torpedoes on the Roxie and fires as soon as the Don Johnson goes to warp:: Sir, torpedoes away!

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
FCO: Follow at maximum torpedo range 1 million km.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::walks over to the CTO: CTO: Try to get there aft shields down and then take out the other nacelle.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
CSO: Tubes being reloaded...::waits for confirmation::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
All: Terminate pursuit at boundary of mine field.

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  DJ Sensors alarm, detecting Lipto-baric Particles emitting from the rear of the Roxie, in the DJ's flight path.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
FCO: Hard to starboard: CTO: Maintain torpedo fire.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
CSO: Aye, Sir. ::sees the panel go green as the torpedoes are ready, fires another volley of torpedoes:: CSO: Torpedoes away!

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CTO: Fire at will.

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  Lipto-baric particles begin to enter the DJ's buzzard collectors, warp field fluctuation beginning.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
FCO: Terminate pursuit when we approach the boundary of the minefield whether we believe the field to be active or not.
FCO: Close buzzard collectors
CEO: Flush buzzard collectors of particles
CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
CSO: Aye Sir ::Flushes out the collectors::

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::smiles as she watches her crew work well together in her brief absence::

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  DJ warp computer automatically cuts drive plasma flow, warp field dissapates and collapes, DJ re-enters normal space.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::rubbs her head where she hit it::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CEO: Reinitiate warp drive, flush particles, use deuterium from reserve tanks

Host Seamus says:
[Onboard FCT Roxanne]::opens a channel:: COMM. DJ:  Roxanne to DJ.  Thanks for the send off, we'll be seeing you later.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::sees the XO get up:: XO: Commander are you okay:: presses a few more commands on his console:: All: That should do it.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Report. ::looks::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
FCO: Try the warp engines again.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
::shakes the cobwebs out::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: The Roxanne used particles to collapse our field we have closed the buzzard collectors which collect deuterium and are reinitiating warp drives

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
ALL: Owwwww that smarts.  What did those guyes do???

Host Seamus says:
ACTION:  Warp engines will not reinitialize.  Need to clear the Lipto-baric particle field.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::sees that his crews have fully rearmed all tubes and are verifying the phaser array's charge power::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: We need to get out of this field.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::grabs the med kit and opens it::
CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: We appear to be in an actual field.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
CSO: What about the deflector dish... isn't there some way we can use that to move the particles out?

Host Sarah says:
::in the cell, smiling::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
CTO: Attempt to use the navigational deflector to sweep the particles.
FCO: Full impulse get us out of the field.
XO: Do you wish to resume command?

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
All: This is not happening.  Get us out of here and after the Roxanne.
CSO: Please if you have no objections.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::ponders knowing basic deflector grid configurations - starts to reconfigure the deflector dish::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
*Computer* Note for the log XO resuming command.  ::returns to SCI 1::

Host Sarah says:
<LCARS>  CSO:  Noted.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
CEO: Sir, do you know a possible configuration that will sweep these particular particles from our path as we move forward?

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Particles where the blazes did they come from?

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: They emitted them from their aft compartments

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Composition?

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
CTO: We could reconfigure the shields to but as soon as we move to warp they may get back in.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: The dimensions of the field are 1 million by 500,000 km by 500,000 km.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
CTO: Use the shields like a plow and they may not get back into the drive.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: At main impulse which is of course less than ,5 c it will take a significant amount of time to clear the field.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: That is a large field.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::starts to change the shield harmonics level hoping to match the frequency wavelength of the particles::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
XO: We could polarize the hull to make sure they don't effect any other systems.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: We have to figure out how to push them safely aside to get through this mess.  I don't want to lose the Roxanne.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
::moves the shields from the rear of the ship into the forward generators increasing the amount of shields near the collectors and forward of the ship::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::starts to get system ready to polarize the hull::

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: I suggest deploying a heavily shielded class 9 science probe to tail the Roxanne, a probe might clear the field if properly shielded.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
Aloud: Shields, set...::hopes::

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
FCO: The smaller the warp bubble the better.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: That commander sounds like a plan.

CTO_Ens_Ryan says:
XO: Sir, shields are set.  We can try warp power.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: However, I will remind you that if this field knocks out our warp field it will do the same thing on the probe.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::finishes polarizing the hull:: FCO: Try again.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
All: Launching probe with shields on from shuttle bay.

Host Sarah says:
ACTION:  DJ's modified shields and hull polarization allow for a weak, and shaky warp field.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: I have attempted a probe launch and observing.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
FCO: Take her out slowly max warp one not want to push it.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Understood.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
XO: I suggest an inverse electromagnetic burst to depolarize the particles.  An EMP burst should do it.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
CSO: Ok do it and lets hope this works.

CEO_LtJG_Arca says:
::likes the CSO idea and starts working on it::

Host Sarah says:
ACTION:  FCO engages engines and the DJ goes nowhere.  Warp field collapses.

CSO_Cmdr_JohnSea says:
Aloud: Deploying intense EMP burst.

XO_LtCmdr_Shemara says:
ALL: The captain is going to have my head for garters.
