CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::on the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::walks onto bridge, Coffee in hand::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::taps at a padd as he pulls on his uniform in his quarters and sighs:: Self: New shift, new place in the world.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
::in main engineering, at the master control console::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Well I see you're ready to work, Dynar. ::smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: As always

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps out of his quarters carrying his padd and heads for the turbolift::

EO Reese says:
 ::approaches the CEO::  CEO:  Lieutenant.  Have you seen the new guy?  The waste recovery processors on deck 12 are plugged again.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Have you been able to do any more research on the wormhole?

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO_Reese:  The new guy?  He has a name you know.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps into the TL:: TL: Main Engineering. ::taps at his padd reviewing repair parts inventory::

EO Reese says:
CEO:  I know, it’s Ivan...  Something...  Anyway, the waste processors?

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO_Reese:  Tell you what, you go get started on them, and I'll send him along when I see him

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps off the TL and enters main engineering spotting the CEO:: CEO: Lieutenant MacLeod?

EO Reese says:
::pauses for a moment, reading the CEO then nods and walks off::

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
::turns to Garlingus::  EO:  Oh hey, Ensign Garlingus.  ::stands and offers his hand::  Seamus MacLeod, nice to meet you.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::shakes hands with the CEO:: CEO: Likewise, we've actually met before, but I'm on the Gamma shift, sir.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO:  Yeah, that's right.  You know I totally forgot we had a gamma shift.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods:: CEO: It's not a problem sir, I understand the ship is in some sort of situation? ::points over to the yellow alert indicators lit up all around::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Well we know it leads to Delta Quadrant according to its subspace variance

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: And we can't figure out who the aliens are, just that they're violent, right?

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO:  Nothing too serious, just a precaution I suspect.  There are a couple of ships out there, we haven't identified yet.  Making the Captain a bit twitchy.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: The wormhole is stable at this point and it gets opened by proximity. The probe has sent back images...::taps a few buttons and brings up the latest image on the main viewer::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CEO: Fair enough.  Well, where do you want me sir?  I've just finished reviewing our repair parts inventory, we should be good for a while, at least until we dock next.  ::hands the padd to the CEO::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::Looks at the image on the screen:: XO: They appear to be studying our probe.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: From what we can tell...this is one of their ships. We can't ID them as there is nothing in the database. Your right...they simply appear to be curious about our probe.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO: I could use you at sensor control.  I'd like to give the bridge more sensor resolution and range if we can.  

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: They seem to be more of explorers then anything. I believe it's worth the risk for us to go through to make contact with them...after all...that's what we're out here for right?

ACTION:  The images being received from the probe begin to go statticky.  They clear, but an unfamiliar language begins to emit from the speakers.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yes it is.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods and turns to head to the bridge:: CEO: You meant the sensor control station on the bridge, right sir?  Will you be joining me at the engineering station?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::taps a few keys:: CO: What the? ::looks at the signal amplitude::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO:I think...there trying to communicate with us Captain.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO: On the bridge is fine lad.  I'll be up there later on.  

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: I'm guessing our universal translators aren't familiar with this language.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO: What ever you do, stay away from Ensign Reese on deck 12.  He's looking for sewer rat to help clean out a fouled waste processor.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods:: CEO: Aye sir.  ::turns and heads out of main engineering and into a turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Shall I open a channel?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yes, open a channel and send a greeting.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::opens a channel and sends a universal greeting::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Computer: Analyze audio language on open comm channel and translate.

ACTION:  The transmission stops suddenly.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: They're gone...just like that.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps off the turbolift and onto the bridge:: XO: I'll see what I can do to get the signal back and clear up your sensor resolution, sir.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Maybe they're trying to analyze our language.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::takes over for the junior science officer at the sensor station and logs in::

ACTION:  Sensors detect a large nutrino emission, however no ships or cause are detected.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
EO: Good...try to make the signal a little stronger with the probe...

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: And welcome to Alpha Shift, Ensign.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::shoots a look at his panel::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods:: XO: Aye sir. It seems we're detecting some nutrino emissions... Rather large ones, do you see that sir?  CO: Thank you ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
EO: Yeah....::looks over at the CO:: CO: Nutrino Emissions...but no ships or cause.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Very interesting.

EO Reese says:
*CEO*:  Reese to MacLeod, did the new guy show up yet.  I'm ready let someone get dirty.  Someone, not me by the way.

ACTION:  The ship is rocked by disruptor fire, however sensors can not lock onto a source.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*ALL HANDS*:Red Alert!

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
::staggers in her chair:: XO Was that disruptor fire?

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
*EO_Reese*:  Sorry ensign, something came up, I needed him on the bridge.  ::reels from the impact::  And now I need you hear, on the double mister.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::braces himself on the console:: XO: Aye sir.  ::initiates red alert procedures and activates the klaxons::

EO Reese says:
 *CEO*: On my way!

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::runs over to the tactical station:: CO: Seems that way...but I got no source....::scans the area and just shakes his head::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::checks the sensor calibration and searches for any anomalies in the region that would stand out from normal space noise::

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
::looks over the master displays, making sure everything that needs to kick in, kicks in.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Find one, on the double, Commander!  We need to know what's going on.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Shields are at 78%!!! Minimal Damage....no casualties.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Well, that's good news.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
::notices as Reese enters the engine room::  EO_Reese:  Get on the shield generators, keep them up and on active surge control

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::emits an anti tachyon pulse and scans for cloaked ships, keeps an eye on the sensors for any other weapons fire locations::

ACTION:  As the barrage of disruptor fire continues, three large ships decloak.  Two are recognizable as older Vulcan ships, the third is Breen.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Ahhh...Captain...we have trouble....Two older Vulcan ships...and a BREEN!

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Hail the lead ship.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
XO: Should I charge weapons sir?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Chief...three ships have just decloaked...one of them is Breen...you know what to prepare for.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::hails the lead ship:: CO: Weapons signatures....Klingon and Cardassian design

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::motions over his controls preparing for the XO's orders::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Can this day get any worse.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: How about no response to hails

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Normally I'd turn tail and run Commander.  But since I guess we're not going to do that, I'll reinforce shields.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Aye sir.  ::takes his station::  So what's worse, working waste processing or working on the bridge with spots?

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO_Reese:  What is your problem with the XO, Ensign?

ACTION:  A base near the pole on Alpha Majoris joins the attacking ships.  Shields are beginning to deteriorate, and are down to 37%

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Were not going to do that Chief

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
XO: Shields down to 37% sir! Should I return fire? ::begins to panic::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
EO: Give me aux power to shields...take it from everything you have to...except life support

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Shields down to 37%

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
XO: Aye sir. ::heads to the power distribution panel on the bridge and begins shutting auxiliary systems down::

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Let’s just say, I have problem with his whole race, sir.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
XO: Sir, we're under attack from the surface as well! Should I power weapons sir?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Captain...seems it's coming from the planet too...we have two choices....fire back and go down in a blaze of glory worthy of a Klingon Song...or we make a run for the wormhole?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Wormhole, it's our only chance of survival.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
EO: take the Helm and get us into that wormhole!

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO_Reese:  Well, you stow that garbage and leave it in your quarters, ensign.  There's no room for that in this engine room let alone this ship.  Heaven help you if the XO ever gets wind of it.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Shall I say hello to our friends out there?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::taps feverishly at his panel and pulls another EO to take over as he runs down to the helm and engages the main engines:: XO: Aye sir!

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Yes sir...  Sorry sir.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO; You might want to let them know we're coming.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::plots a course into the wormhole following the sensor trail of the probe:: XO: Course laid in, impulse engines hot and ready sir.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::sends a signal through the wormhole letting them not to fire:: CO: What about our friends here?

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Take us to the wormhole.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::fires a couple quantum torpedoes at the Breen ship and phasers::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Let's just go for now.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
EO: You heard the captain!

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CO: Yes ma'am.  ::engages the engines at full impulse:: XO: Yes sir, sure did sir!

ACTION:  As the DJ moves toward the wormhole the attacking ships press forward.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::allocates power to the engines and shifts power to the rear shields::

EO Reese says:
CEO: Shield integrity wavering...  ::notes alarm::  And we've got hull breaches.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
CEO:  All Engineering:  Forcefields are holding.  

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO_Ebanez:  Marie, get your DC teams moving!

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Shields down to 28%...hull breaches on decks 7 12 and 14...force fields are in place and holding. ::reroute power to aft shields covering there rear:: Environmental Controls failing...life support down to 67%

EO Ebanez says:
CEO:  Aye sir, damage control teams are already enroute.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Should we draw from the batteries!?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::tries to engage in evasive maneuvers keeping an eye on the inertial dampers hoping they keep up::

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO Reese:  Negative, keep them in reserve until the bridge calls for it!

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Hull integrity holding....*CEO*:CHEIF! what's going on with our shields?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::fires a few more quantum torpedoes::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Get us to the wormhole pronto!

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::decides against evasive maneuvers and plots a straight and steady course to the wormhole because the shortest distance between two points is a straight line:: CO: Aye sir!

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Working on it, spot... Er Commander.  ::shoots Reese an evil glare::  Their weapons are wreaking havoc with the shield emitters, having some trouble keeping the grid online.

ACTION:  The attacking ships follow the DJ into the wormhole.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Give me all available power to the aft shields...looks like there following us in!

ACTION:  The attacking ships show minimum damage from the DJ's counterattack, though several weapons arrays have been damaged beyond use.

EO Reese says:
::grins back at the CEO::  CEO:  It’s not a power supply problem sir.  The shields just aren’t able to recover fast enough.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: They’re playing follow the leader....

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Aye aye sir.  :;points to Reese to comply::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Maybe this is a good thing.  Maybe the ships on the other side will see them attacking us and will fire on them.   It's a though anyway.  ::shrugs::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::traverses the ship through the trans-spatial corridor trying to keep the ship steady and pressing on with full power::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Sensors show minimum damage to the enemy ships....::tries to boost power to phasers and fires at will...targeting their warp cores::

EO Reese says:
::working controls::  CEO:  Aux. power to aft shields!

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Don't fire on them when we're in the wormhole, Dynar!

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::holds fire for the moment::

ACTION:  The DJ is swallowed by the wormhole, their weapons fire causing a cascade of gaseous explosions.  No trace of the attacking ships appears on sensors.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::monitors the sensor outputs on the ships as he maneuvers through the wormhole::  XO: Sir...  The enemy ships.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
::feels the ship moan and groan from the tidal forces of the wormhole::  All engineering:  Hang on people, we're inside the wormhole.  EO_Ebanez:  Marie, inertial dampening to maximum.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: No trace of enemy ships Captain...looks like the gaseous explosions may have taken them out...Minor damage to weapons

ACTION:  As the DJ exits the far side of the wormhole no ships are within scanning range.  No information is being received from the probe anymore.

EO Ebanez says:
::works controls::  CEO:  Aye sir.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::tries to get a fix on where they are::

EO Reese says:
 All:  We're out of it.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Well, I'm glad to know the enemy ships aren't following us anymore.  Now what about the ships on this side?

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
All engineering:  All-right, I want current status and damage assessments.  Fast people!

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Nothing....not ships no probe....and Captain....::voice cuts off::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
CO: Captain sir, we're alone. ::rechecks the navigational scans::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: We’re in the Delta Quadrant.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: How far from Federation space?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: 10 Years

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::steps off the helm station and lets an eager FCO take over as he goes back to the engineering station and begins to redistribute power to the sensor array::

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Is the wormhole still viable?

ACTION:  Long range sensors detect a huge ship, approximately the size of a small station moving at them at high warp.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Sensors show a huge ship....size of a small station moving to us at high warp.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: That's not good.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::sighs and returns as much power as possible to the shields and weapons systems while focusing the sensor palette on the inbound ship::

ACTION:  The ship continues on approach, without hailing.  

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Shall I hail the ship?

EO Ebanez says:
::steps over to the CEO::  CEO:  DC teams reporting in sir.  Breaches from weapons fire, decks 7, 12 and 14.  They can temporarily patch them, but we'll need to do an E.V.A. to permanently repair them.

CO_Cmdr_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Go ahead, see if they'll talk to us.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO_Ebanez:  Tell them to proceed as soon as we've secured from general quarters.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::sits back at the helm and prepares the engines for an immediate departure:: CO: Ready at the helm Captain.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::sends out a general friendly hail:: COM: Unknown Ship: This is the USS Don Johnson...we come in peace. We mean you no harm.

CEO_LT_MacLeod says:
EO_Reese:  Reese, we'll need to expedite repairs to the shields too.  

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: No response captain.

ACTION:  The approaching ship does not respond to hails, however it does increase in speed and apparently on a collision course.  All crew are blinded by an immensely bright white light then all goes quiet.
