Mission 11009.23

The USS Don Johnson has tractored the Cabola and moved it a bit, causing the pirate ship to come out of hiding.

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

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Arriving on the bridge, she makes her way to her station and listens as the current science officer on duty reports.::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::in main engineering, at master control console, checking power allocation tables::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::on the bridge::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::walks over to the CEO with an extra cup of coffee handing it to MacLeod:: CEO: Here you go boss.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As he finishes and she relieves him of duty, she quickly logs in and scans through the sensor data.::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::takes the coffee:: EO:  Thanks lad.  ::takes a sip::  So...  Are we ready for this?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::shrugs:: CEO: You know? I was thinking about the very same thing.  If we're not, we'll find out shortly! ::chuckles::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  I have a lock on the survivors... fourteen.  Preparing to transport to medical.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  fair to say.  As usual, we'll just have to deal with things on the fly.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Very good. Beam them aboard.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Aye.  I wonder if we'll get a maintenance availability at our favorite place again or if they'll accommodate us by sending us into yards somewhere else for a month so a fresh set of Engineers can give us a once over.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::Arrives on the bridge with two coffees:: CO: Thought you could use one...::hands her a cup::  Anymore movement on our friends out there?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: With a nod activates transport.::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::takes the cup of coffee:: XO: Thank you.  I'm going to want you to talk to our guests once they've been beamed aboard.  Find out what happened.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  hope not, I'm sure they don't want to see us just as much as we don't want to see them...  ::notices the transporter usage monitors::  We've begun transporting.  Go check with Reese and his team, make sure they're ready to beam over if needed.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: And no, they seem to be just looking.  But I'll bet if they've sensed that transport it'll make them do more than look

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::sits in his chair:: CO: Understood. I'd like to get a once over of the Cabola first hand as well. Also have there computer core, navigation records and sensor readings downloaded into the secondary computer core.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Sounds like a plan, Commander.

EO Reese says:
::in cargo bay four with engineering team, sitting around the transporter pad waiting for the word to go::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Aye, which cargo bay did you put 'em?  ::starts heading out the door grabbing a padd::

ACTION: The transport is successful

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Four.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Survivors aboard.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CO: Thank you, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Hey chief....I've got something for ya to do if your not too busy?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Sir?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::waves and exits main engineering entering the closest TL:: TL: Deck ten.  ::activates the padd and checks the repair parts inventory levels::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Requests from medical the condition of the survivors::

ACTION: Once the transport is complete, the pirate ship -- as if it had been monitoring the movements -- comes out into full view

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Company captain... :: puts the visual on the monitor::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps off the turbolift on deck ten and finds his way to cargo bay four looking around for Reese:: Reese: Hey there, how're you guys doing? You want any cocoa? You look bored.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:I want you to copy the Cabola's Computer core, sensor records and nav records into a secure part of the secondary computer core. ASAP

EO Reese says:
EO:  Hey Lieutenant.  Bored isn't the thing.  We going over or what.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: I see.  It looks like they got it from a rummage sale.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Very good sir, may I ask why?  ::gets to work establishing a data link with the Cabola::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::shrugs:: Reese: Do you *want* to go over?  Or hadn't you heard there are pirates a couple clicks from your bedroom window?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Do we have all the Cabola's crew aboard?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  It flies... and apparently can do damage.  Medical reports the survivors have no life threatening injuries.

EO Reese says:
EO:  Pirates?  They didn't tell us about pirates.  But we are ready to go sir, if needed.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:We need to know what’s going on...and Wouldn't want it to interfere with the DJ's systems. Get it done as soon as possible, Chief. Keep me informed on progress. Lemmick Out.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: That's good, Check the weapons systems on the pirate ship. I want to know what we might be up against.  And put us at Yellow Alert..

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Aye, Commander

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::sets aside a protected section of the secondary core to hold the Cabola's files:: 

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gives Reese a cross look:: Reese: Since when do you call me sir?  Or did my extra pip suddenly make me an Admiral?  Yeah, they torched one of our probes and are kinda hanging out there scoping us out.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and reaching over, taps the key for yellow alert.::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Norris: Can we extend our shields to protect the Cabola?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Reviews sensor scans for weapon information.::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Yes sir, data-link established, interfacing with the Cabola's computer.

EO Reese says:
EO:  Sorry sir, errr, Frank, force of habit.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::shrugs:: Reese: No worries.  Alright well, sit tight.  You'll know soon enough ::hears the yellow alert klaxons:: Self: Ah well, crud.  ::heads out:: Reese: Probably not transporting an engineering team with shields up, stand fast to stand down and report to your yellow alert duty stations.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Weapons?

EO Reese says:
EO team:  All-right, you heard the man, let’s move.  ::hurries out of the cargo bay::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::enters a turbolift and holds it for Reese and some of the other Engineers:: TL: Main Engineering.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Depends on how you wish to define that.  :: lifts a brow::  They do have them... however, it is basically cobbled together by various cultures.  It is surprising some of them are able to function as they are really not compatible.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: What about compared to us?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::begins data transfer, Cabola's sensor records, navigation records and the Cabola's core image.  Ramps up data acquisition stream rates to 100 percent::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  We are not likely to blow up due to our weapons...  :: taps a few commands.::  One moment while I check something out.

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@COM: Don Johnson: This is Captain Molucco Wrathe, I demand that you turn your ship over to me.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::raises an eye brow:: CSO: Lieutenant...are you trying to make a joke?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::jumps off the turbolift at deck 15 and enters Main Engineering:: CEO: Hey boss, what's going on?

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wraithe: And why would we want to do that?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  They are heavily armed... they could hold up against us.  Their shielding is strong.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Bring the secondary shield generators on line and extend our shields around the Cabola.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Stupid pirates, probably decided they are the biggest kid on the block.

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@COM: DJ: CO: I believe ye'd rather see them in me capable hands than as space dust.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  A joke... possible, but the facts still remain.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Yes sir.  ::points to the EO::  EO:  If you please.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::says quietly:: CSO: Scan for anything we can exploit...this doesn't feel like it's going to go well 

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  Commander, we are pulling data from the Cabola as fast as possible.  We are at five percent and climbing.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wraithe: Space dust? I think you might be surprised there, Captain.  Why do you want the ship so badly?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::hears the comm from the XO:: CEO: You got it. ::heads to an engineering console dedicated to shield harmonics and calls over one of the younger engineers to watch. :: EO_Yuengling: This is.. Ready? ::taps at the console sending a message to the helm to maneuver us in closer to the Cabola:: Yuengling: That's how we're gunna do it.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  I am working on that, sir.

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@COM: DJ: CO: Mi'lady, you should know that a ship that size would fetch a fair price.  Not to mention it's quite the prize.  ::turns and orders his crew to load the torpedo tubes, then orders them to fire a warning shot::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::whispers to the Captain:: CO: We are trying to extend our shields around the Cabola.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  If we hit any of their weapons, the ship would explode.  However, their shielding keeps them fairly secure.  There are also the ships joints which are... nominal.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::brings all fusion reactors not already online up to power::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::Nods at the XO to let him know she understood::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::goes back over to the CSO::CSO:I don’t want them destroyed...just disabled. They are going to be brought to justice

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Frank, I'm giving you control of reactors three and four to help balance the shield power, I hold back warp power until we need it.

ACTION: The ship rocks a bit even with the warning shot

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  That might be more of a challenge.  :: pulls up a diagram and highlights a few positions.::  I would suggest these points.  However, as I am not an engineer, you might verify that with ours.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: What the hell do they think they are doing...are they crazy

EO Reese says:
 ::walks up to the CEO::  CEO:  shield emitters are going to overheat if we do this.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: It's a warning shot.  But I'll bet they're getting serious now.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::feels the ship rock:: CEO: Thanks Seamus, I wonder if we should be doing this when we're being shot at... ::hits the yes button on the "Are you sure you want to extend your shields?" prompt on his panel:: CEO: Here we go.  *Bridge*: Bridge, Engineering, we're extending our shields.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Red Alert!

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*EO*: Good, we'll need them.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  I know, that's why you are going to disengage the thermal regulators, I don't need our shields tripping offline at the wrong time.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As she hears the words, she hit the command, sending the ship into red alert::

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@COM: DJ: CO: Your crew will be safe if you turn over your ship.  ::has another shot fired aimed directly at the remnants of the Cabola::.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wraithe: You want a fight, we'll give you one.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*Attention All Hands*Battle Stations...Damage control teams to stand by.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  Oh, so the emitters will just melt then.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
Reese:  Don't worry about it, those emitters can handle quite a bit before they melt.

EO Reese says:
 ::shakes his head as he turns and moves over near E_ Garlingus::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Sends the potential coordinates to tactical with a warning::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grumbles and pulls duty rosters out:: All in Main Engineering: Let's go! Move it!  ::passes a padd to Reese:: Reese: Can you believe this?  Battle...  ::scoffs::

ACTION: The shot hits the Cabola.  Shield holds, but barely.

EO Reese says:
  ::access shield control interface and take the emitter thermal protection system offline::

EO Reese says:
EO: I know, what do they think, we're Klingon or something.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Shields holding.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::runs up to Tactical:: CSO: Understood....

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@::chuckles over the com:: Crew: They want a fight.  Fire all tubes.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
Norris: Fire all weapons at the pirate ship

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Captain...you are not going to like this....

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::glances at the data transfer rate, 15%, 1,000 TB/sec::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Reese: Last I checked my forehead was smooth, I should send a memo... You know how well those go! ::gets green indicators from all duty stations and walks over to the CEO:: CEO: Engineering Stations manned for battle stations L-T.('ehl tee'.)

TO Norris says:
CO: Firing all weapons, Aye.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: What am I not going to like, Commander?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::nods to the EO::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Cabola's shields....they're at 50%...they can't take another hit. BRACE FOR IMPACT ::points at the screen::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::braces::

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@::feels the impact from the DJ's weapons fire:: Crew: Return fire.  Boost power to shields!  ::watches as his men go to work::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
:: moves to the tactical systems engineering station in main engineering near the shields systems ::  Reese: How're we holding?

EO Reese says:
EO:  Shields at 70 percent, and starting to run hot.  I've got coolant pumps running full on.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Ours are down to 70%...Cabola is at 35%

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Can you transport the reaming crew from the Cabola when they are in our shield bubble?

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@::mutters under his breath:: Crew: Hit 'em again.  Compensate for damages!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::nods:: Reese: Those emitters have a tendency to not like phaser fire.  ::monitors the torpedo reload bays and watches them work in the utmost efficiency:: Self: Ahhh, grease.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO/CSO: Suggestions?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Do you wish them alive or not?

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: The pirates?  I would like to take them alive.  But if we have to destroy the ship, we have to destroy the ship.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: That is what it comes down to Captain...The needs of the many out weigh the needs of the few or the one to Quote a great man.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::tilts his head and looks at the warp core contemplatively shouting out to the CEO:: CEO: We're kind've sitting ducks here with our shields extended... What if we creatively tractored the Cabola to a fixed position to our ship, then we'd be able to get maneuvering thrusters a go at least.  What do you think?

EO Reese says:
EO:  I'm gonna try keeping our shield grid exposed to the pirates at full power while reducing power to the leeward grid.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Very true.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods::  CO/XO:  I could get a general lock on a few of them.  We strike their weaker points and... see what we come away with.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Reese: Very well, Make it so.  ::grimaces:: Reese: There you happy, you got me talking like one now.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  You know what, I think our best bet would be to put ourselves in between the pirates and the Cabola.  That way we could maximize our shields.

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@::orders another round of torpedo fire:: Crew: Stand ready to board that ship as soon as their shields fail.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO:I have an idea...

EO Reese says:
 ::smiles at the EO::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Do it.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: What's your idea, Commander.

EO Reese says:
CEO/EO:  Shield emitters at thermal rating!

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::braces as another hit comes::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and turns back around, working on getting a lock on some of the crew, taking into account the release of energy upon possible explosion.::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Seeing as the Cabola is crew less....beam a single quantum torpedo into there engine room on the Cabola....wait till the pirate ship is a few meters away and blow the whole thing. I know it’s not the best...but:: grabs a rail::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::data transfer at 20%, 1220 TB/sec::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Makes sense.  *You* tell the boys and girls upstairs, I'll make sure Reese can hold it together as we shift emitters. ::walks over to Reese:: Reese: You ever fly a kite when it's raining in front of you but not behind?  Let's make sure our kite doesn't get wet.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Sounds like a good idea.  Go for it.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Stall them

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wraithe: Are you having fun, yet, Captain?

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::orders another round of fire onto the pirate ship::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::goes to Tac II and transports a single quantum torpedo into the Cabola’s engine room and nods to the captain that it’s ready::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::taps com badge::  *Bridge* :  Bridge, engineering, our shield emitters are not going to hold out much longer, suggest putting the DJ in between the Cabola and the pirate ship, so that we can stabilize our shields and take some of the heat off of them.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:MacLeod...shields back to normal.

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@::chuckles:: COM: DJ: CO: Always

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::notes the torpedo room alarm:: Self: What the... Did we just have a torpedo stolen? ::checks the sensor readings from the weapons bay::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks to Reese::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:And no torpedo was stolen

EO Reese says:
::resets shields to normal::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Helm: Back us away slowly...non threatening posture.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wraithe: What made you turn to piracy, Captain?  Get bored on Andor?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  What was that, about a torpedo?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::hears the XO over the loud speakers and checks the transporter logs:: CEO: They uh... Those bridge dwellers beamed a torpedo over to the Cabola's engine room.  I don't think we're playing defense any more.

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@::orders his crew to load the tri-cobalt device:: Crew:  Boost power to shields and fire when ready.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks over at the EO::  EO:  Nice.

ACTION: The  helmsman does as ordered::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
*CEO*:Explain later over a drink of 12 year old Scotch...::notices a sensor alert:: CSO: You see that!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Commander... they have a tri-cobalt aboard.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Captain...picking up a tri-cobalt signature!!!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::laughs out loud and resets the alarm making a note in the log about the missing torpedo marking it as "in use" in the inventory::

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@COM: DJ: CO: I enjoy the adventure.  Live hard, play hard, die young.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Not a good sign.  Still want to use your original plan?

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wraithe: You may just get that wish, Captain. ::cuts the COM::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*XO*:  12?  Come to my cabin, I've got some 30 year old single malt for you if you fancy a scotch.

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@Crew: You heard them, keep watch.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs a chair as a crewman comes by offering them:: Reese: They're talking about synthale while we're here talking about kites... Guess we're gunna get a little wet after all.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: As long as they get closer it should work.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::has a finger just above the red button::

EO Reese says:
EO:  The chief doesn't do synthale.  He likes the real deal.

ACTION: As the tri-cobalt is launched, it explodes a safe distance from the DJ, but shakes up the pirate ship.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Reese: That right? ::considers chatting Seamus up about that single malt later::

ACTION: The pirate ship is ever so close to the Cabola

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Just give the word Captain...she’s close enough

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Execute your plan, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::presses the big red button::

Host Cpt_Molucco_Wrathe says:
@::curses under his breath and orders the crew to fire another barrage::

ACTION: As the torpedo inside the Cabola explodes, it destroys the Cabola -- and the pirate ship

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Got 'em! 

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Good work, Commander!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Activated beam at exact moment of explosion.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::feels the shockwave of multiple ships reverb against the hull:: CEO: Hot dog... ::checks the sensor palette:: CEO/Reese: Looks like we've increased the debris field in this area by a factor of two.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
