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

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs his collar and straightens it stretching stepping out of his office after his nap:: EO: We still chasing that thing we were chasing?

EO Shananana says:
EO: Yes sir, our EV teams have been waiting patiently, they even ate dinner in the pods.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
EO: I thought I recalled them hours ago...

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::on the bridge watching as they follow the trail::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::at helm making minor adjustments to heading to keep on track with the ion trail::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At her station, monitoring sensors, keeping an eye on the trail.::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Are we getting any closer or any clearer readings?

EO Shananana says:
EO: No sir, they've been on standby one hour, how long did you think you were sleeping for?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  I read the signal as steady Captain.  You figure that the closer we get to the source the stronger the ion signature.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
EO: Oh... Right.  Well, recall them.  If we're pursuing some sort of enemy, be it our luck it's an armed and dangerous one, they'll be our DC teams.

EO Shananana says:
EO: Aye sir.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: That's true enough.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::stretches again and heads into a turbolift with a padd:: TL: Bridge.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  should I increase our speed, try and close the gap?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Good idea.  Do it.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO: Aye aye.  ::increase warp power::  Aloud:  Passing warp seven...  Seven point five...  Warp eight...  Eight point five...

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::Enters the bridge:: CO: Rescue teams on hot stand by...give the word and we will bring them all home.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps out onto the bridge as the FCO counts like a count he once knew padd in hand heading to the XO's chair nodding at the CO:: CO: Captain, how are you today?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Hello to you too, Commander ::smiles:: Very good, thank you.  I don't know what we're up against.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Fine, Lieutenant.  Are we taxing your engines?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::spots the XO entering from the other side of the bridge and heads to the tertiary chair on the other side of the CO handing her the padd:: EO: No ma'am, engines are fine, here is my weekly report.  I didn't realize that the Chief had so much paperwork.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CSO:  Commander So't...  'tso...  Oh hell, Sin.  Can you monitor the ion signature?  It should be increasing in strength.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Paperwork is the bane of our existence, Lieutenant.  ::takes the PADD and signs off on it after briefly looking it over::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::walks around to his chair:: CO: Who ever it is...they will regret taking any of our family. ::gives that not going to take any prisoners today::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@:: With her team::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Down boy! ::laughs::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs:: CO: Ain't it the truth. ::looks up at the XO:: XO: Aye.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::hands him back the PADD:: EO: It sure is.  Everything looks fine, Lieutenant.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Feels a familiar vibration::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::takes the padd back:: CO: Thank you Captain.  Now if you please excuse me, I have to start on next week's report. ::chuckles::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
EO: Carry on, Lieutenant.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
CO: Aye aye, ma'am. ::stands and walks to the FCO:: FCO: Hey there Mr. Quinn, how are my engines feeling today?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
EO:  A little sluggish today.  ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@Self: Well we're not on a planet and it doesn't feel like the DJ ::carefully opens her eyes and looks to see who is with her::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::chuckles:: FCO: That right? You best watch where you're headed, don't want to bump anything at the speeds we're going.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: turns slightly::  CO:  Captain... I fail to understand something.  Surely they would know we would follow.  Also, what would make these prisoners important enough to capture federation tactical officers.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Sees what looks to be a cargo hold, counting to herself she sees that her whole team are together::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
EO:  You just keep stoking the coal, engineer.  ::grins:

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: I don't know.  They were high level government prisoners.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Out of the corner of her eye, a flashing light catches her attention and she turns to see what it is.::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::sits quietly at his chair using the monitor, trying to gain access to the government database trying to find out more about these prisoners::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Approaching upon vessel.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Acknowledged, Commander.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: You heard her. Don't hit them. ::smiles::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::adjusts speed to slow approach::  

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::smiles:: FCO: Aye, and full power to the deflector! ::points into the air and walks away::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::smiles at the EO as he walks away::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Still unable to discover who they are, some form of cloaking device is still 'hiding' them.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Keep working on it, Commander.  We'll figure it out.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::shakes his head and smiles RE:  Engineer::  Self:  Knuckle draggers

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: What about Tachyon scans? Would they help?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::enters the TL:: TL: Main Engineering. ::reviews the Captain's approval and thinks about those pilots and their carefree handling of delicate equipment::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Using hand signals she motions for her people to move out and recon::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  That is what is allowing us to trace them.  Perhaps a few well aimed shots... but we would have to... guess, what we might be shooting at.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  I believe we are approaching transport range... :: turns::  Odd... it is obvious we are nearing them.  Why do they not respond?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks toward the captain::  CO:  This seems too much like a decoy.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::adjusts speed to near station keeping::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Could be, or a trap.  I don't like it either way.  But, we're this close we might as well go for it.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::takes tactical:: CSO: Send a copy of your readings...I have an idea.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nodding, turns back around and sends the co-ordinates.::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::One by one her people reports in::  TO_T'Lair: Nothing found so far, Commander ::in a soft voice:: Yet we should continue on as if we are being observed

TO T’Lair says
@CTO: Nothing found so far, Commander ::in a soft voice:: Yet we should continue on as if we are being observed

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: What's your idea, Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: If I can program a torpedo to track down the ion trail of that ship....once it makes contact with it then we know where our little piece of cheese is.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::keeps her smile from showing::  TO_T'Lair: Always good advice.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Sounds good to me.  Go ahead and try.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Keep in mind, our people may be aboard.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CSO: Danger is part of our job Commander....::begins to program the torpedo and makes sure to omit the DJ's signature::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps off the turbolift and enters Main Engineering:: Self: Humm... Maybe now is a good time to recalibrate those proximity sensors.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  Damage, yes, but not death.

ACTION:  The vessel that the DJ is following alters course for the Romulan Neutral Zone

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  The vessel is changing course Captain.  

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@TO_T'Lair: I want our people to look for a way out ::looks up and around::  Looks like we'll have to find a way around those bulkheads.  ::nods in the general direction::  Have the team break up into twos and check every inch of this place.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Follow it, do you know where it's headed?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Seems the signature is Romulan...::finishes up:: and it seems to be a scout vessel size. Not to powerful from a tactical stand point.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  It is now on a heading that will take it into the neutral zone.  ::changes course to follow::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Never underestimate, Commander.

TO T’Lair says:
@ ::Nods, turns and breaks up the team, then heads off with her partner::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Ugh we can't follow it into the Neutral Zone.  Catch it before it gets there!

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Aye aye, plotting to overtake.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::increases warp power::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::picks up a tricorder and looks it over disassembling its casing:: Maroon: Hey, Petty Officer Maroon, come here.  Can you tell me what powers this device?

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Sees that she is teamed up with Ensign Torrent::  TO Torrent: This way ::moves off and checks the wall, runs her hand across the surface::

PO Maroon says:
EO: Well sir, I can, but can you?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Maroon: Can you tell me why I should tell you the answer to my own question?

PO Maroon says:
EO: Because you're curious?

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  All data suggests it is a Romulan scout ship.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Maroon: Am I?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Passing warp nine, we will intercept the vessel in 8 minutes.

PO Maroon says:
EO: Yes sir.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Looks like the torpedo is ready....

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
Maroon: Ah-Ha! I win. ::smiles::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Good enough

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Be sure you don't hit the ship and destroy it when you fire, which you may do when ready.

PO Maroon says:
EO: Nuts... I guess there's always a first time for everything.  Can we stop playing the question game now? I think it's talk like a pirate day in Shuttle Bay Operations.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: I think I remember how to fire weapons....::fires the torpedo and watches the sensor display::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Are you sure, it's been a while. ::smiles::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Moves down the way looking up and down:: TO Torrent: What do you see, Ensign?

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::watches for weapons impacts, pulls up a schematic on Romulan scout vessels and targets the engines::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs some hand tools hears some alerts:: Self: Weapons fire? Who said anything about firing torpedoes...  Damn saucer dwellers.

ACTION:  The vessel takes evasive action, however the torpedo makes impact causing the cloak to flicker.  No serious damage, but the ship is confirmed as a Romulan scout ship

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::fires weapons again at the ship targeting the engines::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::stands and goes to the master systems display and prepares to deploy damage control strategy: torpedo::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::makes a course adjustment::  CO/XO:  Its not slowing down.  

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
FCO: Keep us behind it.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: But we know where it is approximately now.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO/XO:  Interception point in  3 minutes.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::calls Maroon over:: Maroon: Maroon, get the messenger and wake the oncoming watch section.  We need the off going teams to secure the nacelle engineering section in the event of catastrophe.  As we usually face on board this ship anytime we fire our weapons.

TO Torrent says:
@ CTO: I see a few places that could hide listening devices ::motions slightly, indicating where they could be:: I also see that this cargo hold seems to have been used, but not very recently

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::nods::

PO Maroon says:
EO: Be it magnetic fasteners, lack there of, or pirates, ey sir?  I'm on it. ::departs on his task::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::readies another torpedo and fires::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Another two teams move by and indicate with hand signals the possible locations of more listening devices then they move on::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::chuckles:: Self: Trouble from within or without, but always trouble to fuel the spout.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@TO Torrent: What makes you say that?

TO Torrent says:
@ CTO: The walls are too clean.  If there had been cargo here recently then there would be dirt on the walls since the cargo would have been in the way.  ::blushes when Fowler nods::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Be careful with those torpedoes, Commander.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::throttles back to avoid over shooting::  Self:  Should be nearly on top of them.  ::checks proximity sensors::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@TO Torrent: Good eye.  ::feels a change in the vibration of the deck:: Notice that?  ::Feels a bigger vibration::

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Calls out:: Out loud: All in! ::watches the team move towards her as she moves towards the center of the bay::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::monitors the weapons delivery systems for efficiency::

ACTION:  The ship changes course suddenly, avoiding the volley of torpedo fire, and heads directly into the heart of the Briar Patch.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Missed...changing course again...

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Counts heads, nods when they are all there::  All: I'd guess that those vibrations mean that someone is firing on this ship.  You know what to do ::her people nod as they all move towards the entry points in the bay::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::makes a rather abrupt course correction to follow the target::  CO:  Captain, they have just turned to the Briar Patch, and running hard.  

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Keep with them, Ensign.  We've got to get our people back.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: We are going to have to get them before they get in there...or we will lose them...

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::feels the milicochrane strain on the deck plating:: Self: What was that... ::checks his consoles and powers up additional IDF generators across multiple decks:: *FCO*: Bridge, this is Engineering, You do know this isn't a fighter pilot right?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Agreed.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::Nods when she sees raised right arms with hands into fists:: TO Torrent: Stay close ::soft voice::

ACTION:  The scout ship increases speed, determined to reach potential safety.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  If they go in there, we could loose the ability to track them, sir.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: I know that Ensign.  Let's get to them before they do.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::preps another round of torpedoes:: CO: Another round ready on your command...::finger ready to press the trigger::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*: Sorry.  Didn't mean to exceed your tolerances.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Fire!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Quietly continues to monitor until she is needed.::

TO Torrent says:
@ ::in equally soft voice:: CTO: Vibration has increased.  Must have increased speed

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::unleashes another round of torpedos and targets any impacts with phasers::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::shrugs, then thinks to himself... Audio comms...:: *FCO*: Just keep her steady, I'll get you what you need.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: I do have another idea...but you may not like it.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: When we get a shield hit...that will give us the location of the ship right?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::inwardly groans:: XO: What is it?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: Yes.

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: Well then we should be able to transport a rescue party over and get our people back...I can have beta team ready to go and on the pad in 2 minutes.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::grins to self::  Self:  He's really freak if I did a snap roll, or a crazy Ivan.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
XO: First we have to get a hit, though.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs the sandwich he ordered from the ward room:: PO: Thanks chef.  ::takes a bite while he checks in on the external sensor computing and sub-processors::

ACTION:  The DJ scores a hit, and they are able to get a brief sensor location of the ship.

CTO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
@::motions her team as she feels another bigger vibration::

XO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CO: We have them captain...Beta team ready to transport
