Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::in her chair on the bridge::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: For my 25th wedding anniversary, I'm gonna take my wife to Risa.. Ask me what I'm gonna do for my 50th anniversary. ::monitors the ship's engine output::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::takes a padd from Norris, scans it and nods to him:: TO_Norris: Good get that up ASAP

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  I'm guessing you'll be too old to go to Risa?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: I'm gonna pick her up! ::bursts laughing::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Frank, about your comedy?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Checks both long range and short range sensors again::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO:  Are you picking anything up on sensors, Commander?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: So far, nothing.  But I am concentrating on the asteroid field

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Hey listen, see if you can call up the specs on the Cabola.  Would be nice to know what kind of ship we may be asked to help repair.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: All right, let me know if you see anything.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Also, Ma'am, here is the latest schedule for my teams.  ::hands the padd to Norris and he takes it to McPhee::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::nods:: CEO: Yeah you got it boss. ::pulls up the sensor palette and commences a detailed scan of the area ahead searching actively for the Cabola::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::takes the PADD from Norris:: Norris: Thank you Mr. Norris.  ::Looks it over and signs off on it.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I tweaked it a bit and put some of the new crew with some of my senior most crew

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::puts all rapid response damage control teams on stand-by::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Good!  That'll give them some practice.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: What kind of damage do you see on the Cabola?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::activates the optical array and takes manual control:: CEO: Check this... ::points and increases zoom::  CEO: Is that a cheese cracker?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Cheese cracker?  

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::taps a control and puts the information on a small portion of the main viewscreen::  CO:  It appears to be dead in the water.  We're going to have to use the tractor beams

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: You know, one of those... paper thick titanium plated ships that has more holes in it than Swiss cheese?  A cheese cracker...

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Ahhh.  It does kinda look like its been through a cheese grater, eh.  Any radiation leaks?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::zooms in a little motor and scans it with the density lasers and checks the radiation on it:: CEO: It's part of a ship alright.  ::activates the size overlay:: CEO: Whoa, I zoomed in too much, this is much closer than I thought... And much smaller.  Looks like it could be part of a hull.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::transmits the findings to the science station on the bridge and CCs the tactical console::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  I think we are going to earn our pay this week, lad.  What a mess.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Okay, then, let's let them know we're here and are going to help them

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances down and reads the incoming findings, adds that to the screen:: CO: We're getting some information from engineering, Ma'am

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: What is it, Commander?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Putting it on screen.  Seems like some of the hull

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Contacting the Cabola now, Captain ::sends out the standard hail::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::looks at the screen:: CTO: That's some damage!  They must have taken a beating!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::thinks:: CEO: Yeah, we sure are.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks at the scans of the Cabola::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Agreed.  I wonder if who ever did that is still around.  Captain, permission to send a probe or two out towards the asteroid field to try and get a better look there

ACTION: The response to the hail is spotty, as though it's going out

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Granted.  We don't want any surprises!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Hey, the communication array is active. ::pulls up the communications package and routes 10% more power and adds bandwidth to the filter processors::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Tries to clean up the response::  CO: Aye.  TO_Norris: Send out two probes.  Run program Delta, passive scans with a aggressive scan on a flexible schedule

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Response coming in Ma'am.  It's spotty, though.  Trying to boost and clean it up

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Putting it on speakers now

Cabola  says:
COM: Don Johnson:  . . . please . . . pirates . . .four dead

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Yeah, they're probably trying to establish communications

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::hears an alert:: CEO: We're launching probes! *Team One*: Engineering Team One to the probe relaunch station, make sure you've got that grease.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: Make that four probes

TO Norris says:
CTO: Aye, Ma'am  ::readies the probes and launches them:: Probes away

EO Reese says:
 ::Walks up to the CEO and EO::  Gentlemen, I've got engineering teams in cargo bay one, ready to transport over if needed.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs and pulls up the proximity sensors and routes additional power to the deflector dish:: CEO: I sure hope we're not planning on entering this asteroid field.  It'd be a mighty shame to scratch up this fine paint job.  Courtesy of our friends at DS102 and their fearless leader, what was his name again? ::jumps a bit startled, as Reese walks up::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Cabola: We hear you, Cabola, but spotty.  We're doing our best to clean it up.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  The illustrious Commander Davis.  My personal anti-hero.  ::grins::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: That's the best I can do right now, Captain

Cabola says:
COM: Don Johnson:  . . . some injuries . . . power . . . down

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Notifies sickbay as to the injuries::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Then that's the best we can do.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::tries to localize the source of the communications array:: CEO: AH yes, that's him. ::sends a locator ping in the suspected direction of the inbound communications:: CEO: Hard to track this signal bouncing in off the asteroids.

ACTION: As the probes approach the asteroid field, a flash shows up on sensors and one of the probes stops responding

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  See if you can expand the co-axial reception.

TO Norris says:
CTO/CO: We've got a probe down

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::looks down and reads the streaming information from the probes, re-runs the missing probe’s information::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::flies his hands over the controls and slides his chair down one station along the big table looking control panel:: CEO: Roger. ::twists a virtual knob::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Sounds like we've disturbed the pirates.  They must be hiding in the field.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Agreed, Ma'am.  My guess is that flash was a weapon firing on the probe

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: Use the other probes to compensate

TO Norris says:
CTO: On it

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Agreed.  Let's just hope that's all they do.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: At least we have some idea where they are now

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Hey... *Bridge*: Hey uhhh, Bridge? Uhh, this is Engineering... I'm detecting a loss of signal on one of my probes uhhh, do you maintain visual?

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: I've an idea.  We can probably draw them out if we move the Cabola.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: If they see us taking their prize they might come out of hiding

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::points to his screen:: CEO: Look, there were 4, now there are 3.  Just was I was messing with it.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Exactly.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*EO*: Yes, Lieutenant, one of the probes was destroyed.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  That's weird.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
*CO*: Captain Newell-McPhee?  Yeah uhh, Do we know how? Was it an asteroid or are we going to see how well DS102 did with our weapons systems upgrades/repairs?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: Bring weapons up from stand-by.  Not hot just yet, but have them ready.  And keep an eye on the remaining probes

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: You know they're not cheap, these are highly tuned sensors, and the CSO is going to have my ass is if I screwed with its navigational array somehow and crashed it, or accidentally shut down the deflectors.

TO Norris says:
::nods and calls up weapons while checking on the probes information::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*EO*: My guess is that the pirates that attacked the Cabola are hiding in the field and destroyed it, Lieutenant. So the answer to your question is yes to the second part.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Tractor beams are ready, Captain.  On your mark

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Engage tractor beam

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Its all-right lad.  That's why we have probes remember.  Better to risk a probe than a whole starship.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Tractor beam engaged ::works the controls::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Move it just a little bit and see what the pirate ship does.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::eye catches the master power allocation levels fluctuate to accommodate the tractor beam::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Self: Crud...  CEO: True, very true. *CO*: Yes ma'am.  ::begins spinning up power generators to power the weapons systems::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  We've got the Cabola.  Bringing her in now  ::keeps an eye on the sensors as she tractors in the damaged ship::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::works slowly, bringing the Cabola closer to them and away from the asteroid field::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: I put the standby impulse reactors on the phaser strip power grid. ::swings around to another station::

TO Norris says:
::Keeps his attention on his board, reading the sensor information from the remaining probes::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Easy, Commander, and keep checking the sensors for that pirate ship.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Good call.  ::watches the torsion stress monitors, indicating the DJ is tractoring in something big::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, captain.  TO_Norris: Anything Norris?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Hey, is our tractor beam active? Did they find the ship?

TO Norris says:
 ::softly::  CTO: Scanning Commander

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Softly to herself:: Outloud: Come on, hold together......that's a good girl

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Yes it is.  Torsion stress on the superstructure is 20% above normal.  We're still okay.

ACTION:  As the Cabola is being moved away from the asteroid field, a ship shows up on sensors, the pirate ship.
