Mission 11009.30

The USS Don Johnson encountered a pirate ship while rescuing the SS Cabola.  The Cabola's crew was transported to the DJ, and the pirate ship was destroyed.

It appears that they are ready to transport the crew to DS102.  But are they?

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

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::crawls out from a Jeffrie's tube:: *CEO*: Hey boss, looks like the first emitter we've checked is still within spec.  No worse than the rest of these systems that needs an overhaul from our overhaul.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::on the bridge after the destruction of the pirate ship::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::exits the tl and makes her way to her station, nods at Norris to stay there::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Good to hear.  ::to EO_Reese::  Reese:  See, I told you those emitters could take a lot of punishment.

EO Reese says:
CEO:  That you did, sir.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Frank, run diagnostics on the remaining emitters. See if any flags go up.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Commander Fowler, you just missed all the action. ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::glances at the board::  CO: So I see

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: But keep a watch on sensors, he might have friends who didn't like us blowing up the prize.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::dusts himself off and turns to the lead Engineer on the damage control team:: EO_Mobish: Check out 3 more on the port side, then report back.  *CEO*: Aye, On my way back. ::heads into a turbolift:: TL: Main Engineering.

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::having taken temporary ownership of the chief's office, he uses the console there to submit routine reports for her approval before he's scheduled to check on security team leads::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Will do Ma'am.  ::moves to the Captain's side and hands her a padd:: We've got the passengers bunked down

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::takes the PADD and looks it over:: CTO: Very good.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::nods and moves back to her station::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::he nods, and forwards the last one for the commander's eye, then gets up and moves into the tactical office proper, to start his consults with team leaders... it's routine, but it's a nifty distraction from everything else::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: I want you to keep using the probes and keep searching

ACTION: Sensors pick up another pirate ship coming out of the asteroid field

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps off the TL and enters Main Engineering:: CEO: Hey. ::grabs a seat and pulls up to the main system console and begins running the diagnostics on the remaining shield emitters::

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@::orders weapons hot::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
Self: Damn  ::taps her badge:: *TO*: Lieutenant Arinoch to the bridge

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Welcome back.  ::smiles::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::finds himself a vacant spot in the office, just in time for the call to come in from the bridge:: Leaders: Alright, change of plans. Boss wants me elsewhere. Meeting's rescheduled for after we ask whoever's out there very nicely to shoot themselves instead of us. Dismissed.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::groans:: CEO: Ohh, So now it's welcome back is it? Next time YOU crawl into the Jeffrie's tube closest the hull.  Do you know how cold it is out there?  ::tracks the diagnostic progress::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::strides across the office, and into the corridor, catching the nearest lift and requesting the bridge::

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@All: Open fire as soon as we're in range, I want that ship disabled!

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: Take Tac 2 until Arinoch gets here, then go to SCI and look for more of those.... ::motions to the screen::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: See something interesting, Commander?

TO Norris says:
CTO: Aye ::moves off::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps off the lift momentarily, and makes his way directly towards the tactical center:: CTO: As ordered, sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Just a gut feeling that we're not alone, Ma'am.  Now to see what the probes say

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::steps off the lift momentarily, and makes his way directly towards the tactical center:: CTO: As ordered, sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Take over at TAC 2 for Norris, I have a feeling we're going to need both of us on weapons

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::wordlessly, he offers a nod, and relieves the officer at the secondary station::

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@::has the crew fire as they enter firing range::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: I understand, go to it.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Sensors show another pirate ship.  Norris is going to look for more

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Oh, you don't like the cold?  ::grins::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Very well.

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::ties into weapons control, primes them to ready fire status, then switches control over to the primary station... he'll let the commander determine who pulls what trigger::

TO Norris says:
::Turns over the station to Arinoch and moves over to one of the SCI stations, calls up the probe's signal and carefully starts scanning::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
Out loud: Incoming

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
All: Brace for impact!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::checks his readings:: CEO: I guess I do, but not as much as ... ::hears alarms blaring:: CEO: What the?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::checks power supply levels to weapons and shields::  EO:  Here's where we find out how bad 
off our shield really are.

ACTION: The weapons fire from the pirate ship hits the DJ square, knocking shields down to 75%

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::braces against the impact, shakes his head slightly:: CTO: Recommend we use phasers on point defense, sir. We can deflect some of their weapons fire that way. Torpedoes should be able to punch through.

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@All:  Another volley, their shields are weakening.  I want them down and their captain forced to surrender!

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Do it

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Return Fire!

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gets knocked out of his chair and hits the deck:: Ow!  ::stands up and gets back in his chair:: CEO: We just lost 25% shields... ::assigns damage control teams and reroutes power to the structural integrity field:: 

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@::the pirates fire a second volley as they take evasive action from the DJ's return fire::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Just remember we want them alive ::nods to him::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::quickly configures phasers for point defense, letting the CTO have the fun with the big guns... hey, he used to be there::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::calls up her weapons and fires at the pirate ship::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::cues up active surge control on the shields, routes auxiliary power to reinforce shields::  EO:  Compensating.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Shields down to 75% Captain

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::locks phasers on the incoming volley, and fires defensive spreads::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: don't wait until you get the order, if you can get a clean shot at their weapons or engines, take it

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Aren't the inertial dampeners set to combat mode? Where's that nub... ::looks for Marmonick to ream him out:: Self: Every ::calibrates the IDF to compensate for anticipatory weapons fire based on ship's external sensors:: Self: You know we made it to the 25the century for a reason!

ACTION: The TO's tactic works and the weapons fire is deflected.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::fires a small spread of torpedoes, looks for any signs of weakness::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::resets one of the phaser arrays, and fires, trailing it after the torpedoes for a secondary impact::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Are you seeing what I am?  Is that part of an Intrepid class there?

ACTION: The pirate ships shields are weakening.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::fires a second spread::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CTO: Which part? They must have glued pieces from half a dozen of them together.

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::resets the phasers again, and this time, fires exclusively at the pirates' shields, aiming to create a hole for the torpedoes::

Trophie says:
# COM: Don Johnson: Your shields are barely holding.  You may be able to hold out for a while, but save your crew and surrender your ship.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Trophie: Maybe so, but I can see that your shields are weakening as well.  Would you like to talk terms of your surrender?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::checks into a warning light on the primary phaser relay::  EO:  Phaser relays are running hot, might have lost a coolant pump.

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
*CEO*: We need more power to shields, Lieutenant MacLeod!

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Sensors show their shields are weakening  TO: And I think I recognize that one phaser array from an ::squints and taps her console to bring up a closer view on one of the phasers:: is that from an Andorian freighter?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain.  

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::shunts a portion of available warp power from propulsion to feed the shield grid.::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CTO: Suggestion, sir. Let me have transporter control and two torpedoes. ::pauses for only a moment:: Really old trick I picked up. Long time ago. ::briefly, his mind wanders back to prism, but he shoves that aside... no time for old, if fond, memories::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::checks the weapons subsystems:: CEO: Yeah you know, they might be... It appears we're in combat, and that's the first we've heard from the bridge... ::scoffs and spins up a bypass pump to cool the phaser relays::

Trophie says:
@ COM: Don Johnson: My husband is out for blood now, the Wrathes will not surrender.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Targets another section and fires another volley:: TO_Norris: Any back-up showing up?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  They have their hands full, most like.  But I think we should ask the Captain for a raise after all this trouble we've been put after.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::scrambles to assign a work order to the downed coolant pump and return to the IDF calibrations::

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@::orders his crew to target the weakest point in the Don Johnson's shields::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Trophie: Oh, very well, but you know what happened to the other pirates, don't you?

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::resets phasers back to point defense, just in case they fire again, and continues firing::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Target their shields and weapons!

TO Norris says:
CTO: Scanning now Commander

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, Captain.  TO: You heard the Captain, let's do it

Moonshine says:
@ Cpt. We gothic!

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::narrows his eyes at the display, and cocks his head a degree to one side:: CTO: This section. ::gestures with a hand:: Shields are fluctuating here. Didn't account for the kind of power they'd need to cover themselves.

Weapons Officer says:
@ ::fires all batteries.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Yeah, that sounds nice.  I wouldn't mind an extra pip or two.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::fingers move over the board as she targets the weapons:: TO: Get the shields then

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::fires another bigger spread of torpedoes::

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::nods, resets the phasers again, and fires a full volley of phasers at their shield generators::

ACTION:  Weapons fire from the pirate ship put the DJ's shields down to 50 %

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::quickly cycles through the shield quadrant status displays::  EO:  I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to showing the XO how to drink scotch.

Trophie says:
@ COM: Don Johnson: Which is precisely why Porfirio wants your blood.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::notices some more serious alarms on the display the CEO just pulled up:: CEO: Looks like we're not winning.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::notes shield level warning::  Self:  Damn, 50 percent.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Shield down to 50% Captain ::fires another spread at the pirate ship::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Trophie: We'll see about that!

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::tweaks the targeting sensors slightly, and skims their shields with another full-powered blast:: All: Just for the record.... I hate blood feuds..

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::routes a little bit more power to the shields, kicks in secondary coolant system::  EO:  What the hell are they hitting us with?  It's just pirates right?

ACTION: The pirate ship's shields fall down to 25% with all the volleys from the DJ.

Moonshine says:
@ ::reroutes power to boost shield strength::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Not many do

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: You know, there's only so close we can fly to the sun before we get burned. ::checks weapons system targeting and acquisition logs:: CEO: Maybe we're just not shooting back?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::a beep at the TAC 2 console shows that the pirate ships shields are taking a beating::

Trophie says:
@ Transom: Fire! Keep up the barrage; don't give them time to recover.

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
Self: Alright, rookies, now here's how we do it in the majors. ::refocuses again, concentrating the phaser arrays on one spot in the shield grid, and fires on full::

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  Oh we're shooting back all-right.  Just look at our torpedo inventory.  ::adjusts shield frequency to better deflect the incoming energy weapons.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::targets and fires another spread at the pirate ships weapons banks::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO/TO: You're doing great!  Maybe we can take this dude alive!

ACTION: With the last volley from the DJ, the pirate ship's shields fail and their weapons are heavily damaged

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Part of our job, Captain

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CEO: Yeah I guess so... ::checks the torpedo tube reloaders:: Self: Damn those things need grease.

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CTO: Nailed 'em! ... Sir.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  What is it with you and lube anyway.  ::smiles briefly::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I'm reading that their weapons are heavily damaged TO: That we did, Lieutenant

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: How are their shields?

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Take them out!

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CTO: They don't have any left.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye, Ma'am  ::targets a pin-point torpedo strike at the remaining weapons::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::taps the fire command:: CO: Torpedoes away

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::stands by to follow up with phasers, just in case they're more stubborn than expected::

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@ ::curses a blue streak:: All: Arm yourselves and prepare to be boarded.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::chuckles:: CEO: Oh you know, grease man... It's the slides of life.

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::laughs with the EO::  

Trophie says:
@ Transom: They'll either have to destroy us or take us by force!

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CTO: Good guys 2, baddies zip. Best of five? ::smirks::

ACTION: The torpedoes and phaser fire do the job and the weapons are disabled.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Don't get too cocky, we still need to keep an eye out for any of their friends

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Captain, reading their weapons are disabled

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::wonders how long it'll be this time around:: CEO: You know we've got civilians aboard right?

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
::looks at status displays::  EO:  Looks like things are quieting down.  ::points to EO_Reese::  Reese:  Get those shields recovering, now!

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: Good, Commander!  Now, let's see if they'll listen to reason.

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@Trophie: Prepare to ram them!  Moonshine: Ready transporters!

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Keep weapons locked, just in case

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wrathe: Ready to talk surrender, yours, that is?

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::targets weapons on their engines:: CTO: Engines in sight, commander.

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@COM: Don Johnson: We will not give over to your custody. 

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Target them and be ready for anything

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
COM: Wrathe: Very well,

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
CTO: Always.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::calls up a shooting solution and targets the engines also::

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
TO: Fire when ready at their engines, Lieutenant.  We don't want them going Kamikaze on us!

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: Any one else out there?

TO_Lt_Arinoch says:
::smirks very slightly, and fires:: CO: Suicide prevention strategy underway, captain.

Host Cpt_Wrathe says:
@Moonshine:  Activate transporters!  

TO Norris says:
CTO: Nothing showing up, yet Commander

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs:: CEO: You know... I bet we could cycle out the alpha shift with the gamma crew deadbeats and get them to come around.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: I'd feel better if our own shields were stronger, Captain

CEO_Lt_MacLeod says:
EO:  What?  You mean switch duty shifts?

Host CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CTO: I would too.

ACTION: After the shot on their engines, the pirates transport over to the Don Johnson
