Mission Summary 10910.29

The USS Don Johnson has completed their journey through the wormhole and now finds them between the pursuing ships that attacked them on the other side and the four ships that supposedly attacked the Alpha Majoris traffickers.  

How will it end with the DJ in the crossfire?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*; MacLeod...GET ME POWER NOW!! ::targets the flanking ship's warp core with full phasers::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::in main engineering, at the master control console, standing ready::  *XO*: Aye sir.  ::gets to work::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Boosts power to the sensors for more accuracy and hopefully longer hold out against the attacks.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::siting in her chair on the bridge as the action starts::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::runs to help the first team patch the first hull breach::

ACTION: Now that they are on the Delta Quadrant side of the wormhole, the ship has restored power and everything is the same as it was when they entered on the Alpha Majoris side.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
XO/CO: Enemy ships in a 720 arc around us.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::routes auxillery power to shields and weapons, look to Ebanez::  Ebanez:  Marie, get the warp core shield up.

EO Ebanez says:
 ::works controls::  CEO:  On it!

ACTION:  Disruptor fire, phaser fire and unidentified energy sources are streaking all around the DJ, and the crew find themsselves rocked in the crossfire.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::grabs the patch kit and verifies the emergency bulkhead maintains integrity::  Abacore: You've got this.  ::runs and stumbles into a turbolift gripping the walls:: TL: Bridge.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: We need to get out of the line of fire if we can.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Tries to scan the unidentified energy pattern::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::holds onto his console::  *EO* Ensign Garlingus, status on those hull breaches?!

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::links up to the helm:: CO: I'll try...::sets half impulse and goes devensive pattern kirk epsilon::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: Recommend a z - 2000 to get us out of immediate danger, sir.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::fires another phaser spread targeting the nearest ships warp core, from the alpha quadrant::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::dive the DJ 2000km strait down, as fast as the intertial dampners will take::

ACTION:  The lead Delta Quadrant ship scores a direct hit on the DJ and all power flickers momentarily before resetting at the same levels.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CEO*: Lieutenant, the hull breaches are being sealed, emergency bulkheads are in place.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::reels from the impact, looks over systems::  CEO:  That hurt a little.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Thank you, the last thing we need is to loose power to emergency force fields. 

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Delta Quadrant Ship:  This is the USS Don Johnson from the Alpha Quadrant.  We mean you no harm. Please cease firing on us.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Those Delta Quadrants are really starting to tick me off

ACTION:  Lemmick's targeting is slightly off as the ship it is aimed for rolls toward an attacking Delta Quadrant ship.  The enemy ship's shields drop to 60%.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO/XO: Power from the Delta quad ships are not matching anything in our database.  These may not be ships that even the Voyager encountered.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::feels slightly ripped away from the deck plates while exiting the TL:: *CEO*: Yes sir, I agree, the emergency patches are being applied by damage control teams as we speak.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: No kidding.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Self: Gotcha ya bastard ::lets out a laugh:: Yeah only eight measly ships to go.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::goes to the engineering station on the bridge and works to divert power to rapidly recharge the weapons systems:: XO: Sir, recommend torpedo volleys.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: Don Johnson:  You entered with the rogues who are stealing from our planets, you will suffer the same fate.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO/XO: Fascinating.  I do not believe that the ships are interested in us at the moment.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::decieds to use the last couple quantum torpedos on the ship that just rolled toward an attack delta quadrant ship::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: I hate to say it captain...but if we destroy one of the alpha quadrant ships that might show them we are not like those that followed us

ACTION:  The lead Delta Quadrant ship pursues the rolling Alpha Majoris rogue ship.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Delta Quadrant Ship 1: We were being chased by them.  Our only escape was to come this way.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Do it, or at least badly damage it, if you can.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Runs a tight band scan for the XO's targeting array::

EO Ebanez says:
CEO:  Get a chance to approve my vacation time yet Chief?  ::smiles off the CEO's astonished glare::

Delta Quadrant Ship 2 says:
COM: Don Johnson: You lie!

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Can't promise anything...we’re out of quantums....switching to photons:: fires another volley at the Alpha Majoris ship::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
XO: That is the best resolution I can give you, sir.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::hears the comm traffic over the loud speakers and observes the bridge chatter:: XO/CO: Can we risk taking sides on a conflict we know nothing about sirs?  Recommend we use all available power and warp to a safe distance.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Thanks...should help

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Delta Quadrant Ships: We are not lying.  We are merely innocent bystanders.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: Don Johnson: I will give you one opportunity, lower weapons and move to these coordinates away from the battle zone.  ::aside:: Fire at the second ship, their shields are beginning to fail .. ::transmits coordinates::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Get the coordinates and do it, Commander.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Delta Quadrant Ship 1: We are receiving your coordinates.  Thank you.

ACTION:  The Alpha Majoris ship's shields fail from the DJ's attack, just as the Delta Quadrant ship fires and the ship is destroyed.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::widens eyes as he puts the ship's destruction on the main viewscreen::

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
CO: Recommend we put weapons in stand by mode rather than completely down, sir.  We might still need to defend ourselves from the alpha quad ships.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::gives the CO a what type look:: CO: Aye Captain...setting a course for those coordinates...best speed

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: As long as they detect that they are not operational, fine.

ACTION:  OPS/Tactical pick up communications between the two lead Delta Quadrant ships discussing the fate of the DJ between instructions concerning 2 of the 3 remaining Alpha Majoris ship as the 3rd is headed for the wormhole in retreat.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO/CO:I don’t think that's a good idea. What’s going to stop them from destroying us.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Picking up communications between the two delta ships...they are trying to decide what to do with us.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
XO: We can leave our shields up since that was not a requirement and that will buy us some time to initialize the weapons from standby mode.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Then let's do as they ask and get out of the way.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Seems our assistance in destroying the one ship...::listens a little closer:: Helped...maybe we did do the right thing

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::puts his head down and focuses on controlling any power spikes as the distribution gets disrupted from the constant recharging of the weapons systems::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Maybe we showed them we're not the enemy.

ACTION:  As the Alpha Majoris fleet weakens, the second Delta Quadrant ship moves toward the  DJ.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Maybe...we can only hope ...we have incoming. One of the delta quadrant ships is moving towards us. There holding an attack posture...recommend we re-charge weapons

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
ALL: They are still in an attack posture.  I recommend more diplomacy, Captain.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::corrects a temperature spike in the plasma manifolds by enabling secondary coolant system::

ACTION:  The lead Delta Quadrant ship turns and fires a warning volley over the bow of the agressive ship after a 2nd Alpha Majoris ship is destroyed.  

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Our diplomacy now is to just stay out of the way.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::pulls up reports coming in about the hull breaches:: *CEO*: Damage control teams report hull breaches sealed sir. ::taps off his console and reinitializes it::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Acknowledged.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::quickly checks power draw from the shields and weapons.::

ACTION:  The last Alpha Majoris ship turns for the wormhole and the Delta Quadrant ships begin backing down.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::turns and looks at each of the command crew's expression as they watch the ships being destroyed:: Self: At least it's not us.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Looks like the Alpha Majoris ship is making a run for it....the question is...now what

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Now we can negotiate -- maybe.

EO Ebanez says:
 ::looks around the room, listening more than looking::  CEO:  Sounds like things have settled down some.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
:: Runs some passive scans on the ships power and weapons to try to get a determination of the power source::

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: USS Don Johnson:  Identify yourselves, why were you with these rogues if you were not allied with them.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Ebanez:  Yeah, question is, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Delta Quadrant Ship 1: We are the USS Don Johnson from the Alpha Quadrant.  We were being chased by them and fled into the wormhole to escape and ended up here.

EO Ebanez says:
CEO:  I'll go with good.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO:Yeah....maybe we might get out of this....::looks down at a display:: Shields still holding at 37%...phasers are at 80%. As for torpedoes...quantums gone and photon are low...15 left.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Ebanez:   Me too...  All-right, lets use this lull in the storm to gets our defensive and offensive systems back up to full strength.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: USS Don Johnson:  Why were they pursuing you?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::begins working along side Ebanez::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Chief...::whispers:: Shields top priority

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::whispers::  *XO*:  Understood.  ::to Ebanez::  Ebanez:  You heard him.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::taps at his console some looking around the bridge standing and entering the TL:: TL: Engineering.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Delta Quadrant Ship 1: We received a copy of some of their logs and suspected they were up to something.  The logs gave us access to some activities that concerned us.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
:: Scans the stars and compares them to charts of Voyagers travels to try and pinpoint our location in the Delta Quadrant::

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: Don Johnson: It is as I had hoped once you joined the attack against them.  We will allow you to return through this wormhole before we destroy it. 

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks at the XO and says softly:: XO: That's progress.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Do they have to?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::nods in agreement::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Delta Quadrant Ship 1: Thank you, we appreciate that.  But I must ask, why do you want to destroy the wormhole?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::exits on Deck 15 and heads into Main Engineering:: CEO: Sir, I'm going to head down to Deck 16 and see what I can do to boost the long range sensor pallette.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  all-right ensign, if you need help, just ask.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: USS Don Johnson:  Our leaders established it to expand commerce it has brought only loss with the thieves.  We chose to wait to see if they would leave with what they had taken, but they returned.  Our first choice is always peace and this senseless loss of life is too much of a price to pay for commerce.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::nods:: CEO: Aye sir. ::grabs a general tool kit and heads into a jeffries tube climbing down to deck 16 instead of taking the turbolift down one deck::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Ebanez:  Better watch out.  I think he's after your job.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Captain...if I may?

EO Ebanez says:
CEO:  Really? I was thinking he was going after your job.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Go ahead.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looking at the mounting damage report::  Ebanez:  This keep up he can have it.  ::laughs::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
:: activates the long range sensor control logging in:: Self: Password... What was it again?  Oh right ::types it in and pulls out a tricorder jacking it in for diagnostic purposes::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COM:DQS1: My name is Commander Lemmick, First Officer. While we understand that nothing is worth the loss of any amount of lives for anything. I am sure that between our government and yours we can establish a trade lane between our two worlds. It would be benefit both our worlds...both economically and culturally.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: USS Don Johnson: It would be possible, but the likelihood of this happening again is more than our government wants to take.  ::turns sharply to the right:: Would it be possible for a small delegation from our homeworld to return with you to discuss this possibility you propose?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::looks at the Captain::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::nods::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COM: DQS1: You promise then not to destroy the wormhole?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
Computer: Activate a secure audio-only channel to be heard by the Science station on the bridge, I believe the CSO is manning that station.  ::taps into a couple algorithms:: *CSO*: Commander, this is a secure channel, what I say will not be heard on the bridge.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
*EO*: Understood.  Go ahead.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CSO*: I've made a few modifications to the long range sensors, that should improve resolution, give it a shot, I'll be monitoring.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: Don Johnson: That will be delayed pending the outcome of the discussion, though no passage will be allowed until it is resolved.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Tries the sensor on long range scan of a star::

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::activates a tertiary console and puts up a real time feed of the sensor array power draw::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COM: DQS1: Understood....prepare to transport over to our ship...please pay not attention to the mess. ::looks back at the captain and mutes the channel:: CO:Guess we’re going to get out of this after all

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Guess we are.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
*EO*: Scans appear to be functioning.  Could you tighten the theta band width a bit?

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::pulls up the sensor block able to detect theta wave radiation and begins a calibration sequence:: *CSO*: Just give it a second.  ::runs a micron a purge of the array antenna as the calibration sequence ends:: *CSO*: Try that.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: Don Johnson:  The team has chosen a location within what your computers designate as guest quarters.  With your permission they will transport directly to that point.  They will meet with you within the hour.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COM: DQS1: Understood...signal when ready for transport. We'll have to lower our shields

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
::Tries the adjusted sensors:: *EO*: That has it.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: Don Johnson:  They are transporting now.  

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COM: DQS1: There will be a security team outside the door as a precaution and your protection...we look forward to meeting you

ACTION:  Sensors detect a slight power surge near the guest quarters.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
::notices a power spike in the sensor array:: *CSO*: What was that?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO:They’re heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere.

Delta Quadrant Ship 1 says:
COM: Don Johnson: It is as it should be.  Grllsis Out.

CSO_LtCmdr_Stidd says:
*EO*: We have guests in the guest quarters.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: That they are.

ACTION:  The screen goes blank.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Well this should be interesting...what you think commands going to say now? Not again...they broke there ship again!

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::notices a power brief surge on the monitors::  Self:  Hmmmm

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yes it should.  And they might question our decision making.  But it'll be fine. ::smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: And I told you...don’t bring any more stray pets home! ::tries to let out a laugh:: We should change into dress when we meet them I think.

EO_Ens_Garlingus says:
*CSO*: We have what?  ::sits up in his chair and actives a console redirecting primary ship function trunks to auxiliary trunks isolated from any relays near the guest quarters and begins isolating ship's systems::
