FCO_Newell says:
::at the helm, keeping the ship out of sight::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::walks onto the bridge and takes her seat::
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::at science station one, staring at the sensors::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: What are the Ferengi doing at this point in time?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: They appear to be scanning the system, ma'am.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Scanning for what?
FCO_Newell says:
CO: They might be looking for us, Captain.  I tried to get us out of the line of sight and sensor, but I may not have succeeded.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: Unknown at this time. However, they are scanning this planet.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: I believe you got us out and hidden before they saw us.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Thank you, sir. I tried.
CNS_Chandra says:
::After settling in his quarters he reports to the bridge::
CNS_Chandra says:
::Enters the bridge and looks around::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The Ferengi ship slowly closes on the planet. Several of the insectoid creatures return to the surface.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::senses the arrival of the CNS::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Welcome aboard.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Sir, lieutenant Chandra reporting for duty.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::jumps a little when the door hisses:: CO: They're closing in on the planet and the life forms are returning to the surface.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Thank you sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Please have a seat and watch the fun begin.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Please watch what is going on in regards to the life forms and what they do.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Keep monitoring for any movement or indications of any type of hostility.  I don’t really want to break the Prime Directive.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Fun you say, very interesting choice of words. ::Jots a few notes into his PADD:: CO: Interesting indeed.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Aye, sir. I'll be vigilant.
CNS_Chandra says:
::Watches the bridge crew at work while taking a few notes::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
::watches the view screen intently::
FCO_Newell says:
::scans for the Ferengi::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Sensors detect transporter signatures from the Ferengi vessel
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Captain, sensors are detecting transporter activity on the Ferengi vessel.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: My choice of words of using fun in this instance is that some times humor does alleviate some of the heightened nerves.  It was an attempt at humor.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: If I may ask sir, have you determined if the Ferengi have disrupted this culture?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: They are doing what?  OH man here goes the Prime Directive out the air lock.
CNS_Chandra says:
CNS: Humor from the commanding officer, I see sir. ::Jots a few more notes::
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Pretty much, sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: At the moment that is what we are doing.  I am waiting for verification from my staff.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: If the Ferengi have done something to this primitive culture I will interfere and see what is going on and find out why they are here.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::scans to see if the Ferengi are near the life forms::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Disruptor fire is detected on the surface, then both Ferengi life signs disappear.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Make a course for the Ferengi ship and lay in the course.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: The Ferengi life signs are gone, following disrupter fire.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Wait for the command.
CNS_Chandra says:
CNS: Sir there is a large difference between finding out what the Ferengi are doing and interfering::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Hold on to your seat cause here we go.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Get this ship next to the Ferengi ship now.
FCO_Newell says:
::lays in the course:: CO: Course laid in, awaiting your order to engage.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Engage.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Aye sir, intercepting the Ferengi ship.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Numerous disruptor blasts are detected on the surface, one of the insects is killed, the others scatter.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Continue your scans of the surface.
FCO_Newell says:
::engages::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: Once we get close enough I want a tractor beam on that Ferengi ship so they can’t do any more harm.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: Dead insectoid life form and others scattering, following more disruptor fire on the surface.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel begins firing at a series of cave openings, apparently attempting to collapse the tunnels.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Open a com to the Ferengi ship.
FCO_Newell says:
::opens COM:: CO: Channel open, Captain.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
All: The Ferengi are firing on the surface.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
COM: Ferengi ship: This is Captain Shemara Arca of the USS Don Johnson, Cease all fire on the inhabitants of the planet or I will fire on you.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Are we close enough to engage tractor beam?
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The COM Channel goes dead..
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Since the ship is at red alert already we are prepared to engage the enemy.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: The COM went dead, Captain.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Acknowledged.  They will wish they hadn't closed the com.
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The Ferengi vessel targets the Don Johnson and opens fire.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: May I respectfully remind you that the Ferengi are not Federation members and a such they hold no duty to follow Federation laws and rules.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Ferengi ship is firing on us, Captain.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Evasives Ms. Newell.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Yes I do understand and remember it well.  And since they are in federation space we do have the right to fire first.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Evasives, Aye.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: But I want to avoid that if I can.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::has sensors give side by side readouts, one of the last known location of the life forms and one of the Ferengi vessel's energy output, vital statistics, and shields::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The Ferengi ship maintains a steady barrage of fire as they alter course for an escape vector.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ATO: Mr. Miller please arrange a surprise for our guests the Ferengi's please.  Engines and weapons only.
ATO_Miller says:
CO: Weapons at ready sir. ::Targets the Ferengi's engines::
FCO_Newell says:
::continues evasive maneuvers as the ship continues to fire::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: Ready tractor beam for the Ferengi ship. ON my order and not before.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
<Engineering> *CO*: Understood sir tractor beam is ready to go.
ATO_Miller says:
::Fires at the Ferengi vessel::
Host Susan says:
<Engineering> *CO*: Negative Captain, there is a pro....
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Should we not let them go sir?
Host Susan says:
ACTION: The Ferengi ship falters as the engines are disabled.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: Repeat your last comment?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::looks at the sensor readings from the surface::
Host Susan says:
ACTION: Power throughout the Don Johnson fails, only life support and emergency systems are functioning.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Out Loud: Hu’tegh What in the name of Kahless happened now?
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Power failure throughout the ship, sir.  Only life support and emergency systems are functioning.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Sorry sometimes my Klingon side comes out.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: What in the blue blazes happened down there?
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::watches science station one go blank in front of her:: ::runs down to ops station to look over someone's shoulder at the available readings::
Host Susan says:
<Engineering> *CO*: Captain, we detected faulty circuits in the weapons systems. When phasers were fired, it more or less short-circuited everything. We'll have it up as soon as we can.
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: Well we did instigate this sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
ALL: Oh great now we are sitting ducks.  A choice counselor that had to be taken.  Lets just hope my husband and the CEO and the rest of engineering can get us up and running soon.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::wishes the counselor would shut up:: ::His advising was useful, when he was trying to change the CO's course of action. Now it was just annoying.:: ::She wondered if all counselors were all masters of stating the obvious.::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: Tell me exactly what needs to be repaired.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: Before I was Captain here I was the CEO on the Triton so maybe I can help in this instance as well.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: How long till our orbit decays?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Keep your eyes on whatever sensor readings you can get.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Six hours, sir.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::tries to determine if any short circuits occurred where anyone might have been injured or if any areas need to be evacuated::
ATO_Miller says:
::Looks over the tactical station for any issues there::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Acknowledged.  That is not nearly long enough time to fix propulsion::
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: Yes, Sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: Report?
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
Self: This is no time for engineering to not answered.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
CO: Most of my readings are from inside the ship. Waste management is being evacuated and there are some minor injuries in various areas.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Agreed, sir. We're not in a good way.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CSO: Are the communications between here and engineering out of commission?
Host Susan says:
<Engineering> *CO*: We're working on tracing the short back to its origin. We're looking at a system-by-system check, possibility 12 to 14 hours before everything is restored.
FCO_Newell says:
CO: Please tell him we don't have 12-14 hours.
FCO_Newell says:
::adding:: CO: Sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: You got to do better than that.  We got only 6 hours before orbit decays to planet.  YOU got three to get propulsion online even if it is only impulse.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::detects six people trapped in a turbo lift:: *Turbo lift Occupants* CSO to turbo lift two. Can you hear me? Are you alright in there?
Host Susan says:
<Engineering> *CO*: Understood, we'll concentrate on propulsion to at least get thrusters online, but there is no way we can get every system up in under six hours.
CSO_Sojyngra says:
::tries to determine whether or not she can get anything at all on the Ferengi vessel as she glances at what few surface reading blips the probe has given her::
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
*Engineering*: All I want in three hours is impulse power.  After that you have your priorities to do first.  Please don't make me come down there.
Host Susan says:
<TL Occupants> *CSO*: We're all in one piece, but we have one that is claustrophobic and is about to panic. ::in the background..."Let me out of here!"::
Host Susan says:
<Engineering> *CO*: Understood
CNS_Chandra says:
CO: If I may. Perhaps we could launch several shuttle and tractor our vessel to a safe distance sir.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
CNS: That would work but in this instance I don't want to lose the distance that we have achieved from the Ferengi ship.
CO_Shemara_Arca says:
FCO: Open another comlink to the Ferengi ship.  Now maybe they will listen to reason.
CNS_Chandra says:
Self: Hmmm. ::More notes in the PADD::
CSO_Sojyngra says:
*TL Occupants* ::decides not to bother the captain with a request to send emergency team:: ::sends some enlisted crewmen down there, as they have to follow orders from any officer:: Help is on the way. Have your fellow occupant sit on the turbo lift floor with the rest of you on the other side and try to reassure him and get him to breathe deeply.
FCO_Newell says:
CO; Aye, sir. ::opens link:: Channel Open, sir.
