Mission Summary 11102.03

The USS Don Johnson is in pursuit of Romulan Freighter that is believed to carrying missing prisoners from Risa and their own missing away team.

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

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::looks at the isolinear chip in his right hand and the glob of peanut butter in his left hand:: Self: Humm...

EO Dorothy says:
EO: Do it! Do it!

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::on the bridge as they continue to pursue the freighter::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::still at the helm, keeping a close eye on the proximity sensors::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At her station altering one of the sensors to search only their missing people's biosigns::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sighs:: EO: Unfortunately.. I lose, you get my holodeck time. ::wipes his hands::

EO Dorothy says:
All: I win! I win! ::laughs out loud collects the chip and walks away::

ACTION:  Life support suits appear in the cargo hold where the away team is being held.  A voice comes over the freighter's internal com ordering the team to put on the suits.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns quietly::  CO:  I have the team on sensors... all accounted for.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Good, where are they on the ship, can you tell?

ACTION: The tactical team quickly dons the suits as a hissing sound picks up in the cargo hold.  The hold is quickly losing atmosphere.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  They are located in the rear cargo bay.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Can we get a lock on them?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs a padd and turns over his last holo time for the month to Dorothy::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looking at sensors::  CO:  Odd... atmospheric pressure around them is lowering... and no, I am unable to get a lock.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::makes a snap course correction to avoid a pocket of metreon gas::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Atmospheric pressure is lowering?  Wonder what's going on.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::gets up and goes to an engineering status display for decompression systems of the shuttle bay and notices that they need calibrating::

ACTION:  As soon as the team have their suits on, the cargo bay doors open and the team is spaced.  The freighter alters course and speed making straight for the neutral zone.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Unknown at the moment... wait... the cargo bay doors are opening.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Keep an eye out.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  They have been spaced... I have a lock on them now.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Adjusts course to stay with the Romulan ship::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Beam them aboard!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Activates transporter beam.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::burps and sits down:: Self: Shouldn't have eaten that transponder either.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Sends them to medical::

ACTION:  The away team is transported to medical.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  All accounted for and in medical.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Good, thank you.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Shall I maintain pursuit, Captain?

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Yes, we need to get those prisoners.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::grabs a tricorder from under the cabinet and dives into a turbolift:: TL: Deck 11.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  They are heading at top warp to the neutral zone.  As before, I believe this was just a diversion.  Thankfully, a living one.  They could have easily killed our people.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::checks instruments::  We will enter the neutral zone in seven minutes, at present speed.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: listens to the general report::  CO:  Medical reports anesthesine in their system, but no physical damage.  They have also located a message disk.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Let's try not to enter the zone. Catch and disable the ship if you can.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  The Romulan ship will reach the zone in three minutes.  We're gonna need a pretty big push from engineering.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps out and heads into the phaser control chamber scanning the calibration and pre-fire chamber system cores::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Good, I'm glad they're okay.  Have someone bring the message disk to the bridge.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::pushes warp speed to maximum::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Agreed. Let them know.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Nods and asks for the message disk to be brought to the bridge.::

EO Dorothy says:
*EO*: Hey Chief, the engines are at their upper limits.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  At this rate, I would suggest trying to slow them down by aiming for their engines.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*Engineering*:  Bridge to engineering, request all available power to warp drive.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Agreed, can you handle weapons?

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::lowers his eyebrows:: Self: Damn pilots... *EO*: Boost ... ::hears the comm over the comm:: *EO*: Do it.

EO Dorothy says:
*FCO*: Bridge, this is Engineering.  Rerouting auxiliary power to the warp nacelles.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Simply lifts a brow, stands and moves over toward tactical, after waving one of her people over to science::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::holsters his tricorder and heads into a TL:: TL: Main Engineering.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*Engineering*:  Thanks, sweet-heart.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Pulling up weapons, aims for their engines::  CO:  On your word, captain.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::watches as the warp output levels begin to climb, and the gap between the DJ and the Romulan ship begins to shrink::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Fire!

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Activates torpedoes::

EO Dorothy says:
::trips the breakers on fusion reactors 3 and 4 to route plasma their energized plasma into the nacelle's and boosts the engine's another 10%::  *FCO*: You have your power... Jerk.

ACTION:  The Freighter shutters, however, they keep going.  Scans show they are still operating at 85%

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*Engineering*:  Jerk?  Skin's a little thin there honey.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: Power down to 85% :: checks her aim on the engines and fires again.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::enters main engineering:: *FCO*: Who you calling honey big bear?  ::elbows Dorothy:: EO: Let it go.  Give me a status of the secondary EPS relays to the deflector, we can not maintain this speed forever.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CSO:  That's the ticket, they are loosing power...  We might actually catch them.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::smiles upon hearing the EO's comment::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::triples the redundancy into to the inertial dampening system:: *Bridge*: We can not sustain this velocity for much longer, better make your next shots count, or we could irreparably damage some things that would take a few days to fix if you know what I mean.

EO Dorothy says:
::scoffs and heads to another display panel in the aft quarter of the engine room:: EO: You're a jerk too!  But at least I'm going to enjoy your holo time! Pansy...

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  A hit... but unfortunately, they have crossed into the neutral zone.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::adjusts speed so as not to over-shoot::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Engines down to 53% and failing.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Pity, I was hoping to get the prisoners.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::makes mocking faces back at the EO:: Self: Pansy my... ::shouts:: EO: You try eating a substance harder than a diamond but softer than Targ's left tooth!!

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Permission to enter the zone, Captain?

ACTION:  A medical officer reports to the bridge, bringing the message disk.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::takes the message disk from the medical officer:: MO: Thank you.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Granted, providing we don't stay too long.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::activates the message disk on her console::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Reading another ship on an intercept course, from the neutral zone to our thieves.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Neutral Zone proximity alarm flashes and sounds on FCO panel::  CO:  Aye aye.  ::moves finger off the throttle control::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: What, another ship?  This can't be good.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
ALL:  Now entering the Neutral Zone.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::monitors system wide power surges as the fearless FCO dials back power to the engines:: Self: What's the duty OPS officer doing?!  ::pulls up the power distribution grid and powers up ancillary systems to eat up the extra power being generated:: *Bridge*: You still need all this juice to the engines??

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Not for us, perhaps... but at this point.  :: looks over at the FCO::  we do not want to be caught in the neutral zone by the Romulans.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Good point.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::reroutes one of the surges to a light fixture on the bridge near the helm:: Self: Pilots...

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
*EO*:  Not just now, engineer, but keep things in reserve.  We may need to make a rapid withdrawal.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Keeps the ship at red alert, but powers down weapons.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::expands proximity sensor range limits::

ACTION:  As the message disk is activated, a grizzled looking officer appears on the console screen.  Captain, do not continue pursuit.  This prisoner escape has been arranged as  a ruse to get operatives into a splinter cell within the Romulan government.  Any interference could jeopardize our mission and the lives of everyone on this team as well as your ship.  Your team has been released, hopefully without injury, you should have what you need to continue on your way.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::looks over his shoulder and sees the warp core speeding up:: Self: Now what... ::adjusts the mixture to reduce power output::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::Updates fastest route back to Federation space::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::puts on his uniform jacket and heads into a TL:: TL: Bridge.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::engages viewscreen:: All: Here's the message.  And Ensign Quinn, Break off pursuit!

ACTION:  The message replays across the main viewscreen.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Listens::  CO:  It would explain why they did not harm our people.  Shall I verify with Starfleet?

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Aye Captain.  ::throttles back to all stop::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Helm answering all stop, Captain.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Please do.  I don't want to come back and find that we didn't complete our mission.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::steps onto the bridge and pushes the aOPS out of the way:: aOPS: You're relieved.  When was the last time you had operational training in managing a power distribution system this complicated?  The CSO powered down weapons and we almost had a run away core.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Get us out of the Neutral Zone.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::listens to the activity on the bridge and quickly accesses his Operations Console login and waits for the displays to reset::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Pulling up a secure channel, encrypting message, asks in a round about way about the mission of the prisoners.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Delighted, sir.  ::loads the return course and enables it, the ship pulls a hard 180 degree turn at full impulse then enters warp once leveled out::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over at Garlingus with a lifted brow as she waits for a response.::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::irradiates the Bussard collectors while at impulse with warp plasma for efficiency::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: After a moment she cuts the comm. and turns toward the captain.::  CO: No denial or confirmation... however, we have been ordered to return to Risa.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Very well.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Set a course for Risa. Engage when ready at best speed.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
aOPS: See, this is how it's done.  Don't you walk away, watch.  ::activates burn off relays and commences maintenance cycles on the primary impulse generators as the ship enters warp:: 

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Taking the ship to yellow alert she looks up as the tactical officer returns to his station.  Saying nothing, she returns to her station.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
CO:  Acknowledged.  ::updates course heading, setting destination to Risa::  On course for Risa, holding warp...  ::looks at the EO::  Six.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: Six is good.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::sees a request from the stellar science labs on deck 9 and answers it increasing core output by 3%:: aOPS: Get it now?  Or else you'll have more of these. ::brings a fusion reactor on line and routes the majority of its power to the light emitting bridge panel just about the helm with the intention of sparking it up before the safety breakers kick in.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::smiles at the FCO:: FCO: I agree with the Captain, six is great.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
FCO:  Yeah, the old girl has had a good enough run for today, we shouldn't push things too far.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
FCO: There's nothing you can't do with this ship there ... pilot!  

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
EO:  Oh you don't want me to put that statement to the test.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::watches as the boys interact, trying not to laugh::

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::leans over the OPS console:: FCO: I bet you one week's worth of holotime that there isn't a maneuver in the book that you can't pull with this here girl.  Then again, YOU may not be up to the task.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
EO:  Are you kidding me.  You are looking at the only Starfleet cadet to make Flight Instructor Jorella space sick.

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
CO/FCO:  Area clear.

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
EO:  I bet they’re still cleaning up that shuttle.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
CSO: Thank you, should be a smooth flight back to Risa, if the boys ::indicating the FCO and EO:: behave.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
FCO: Jorella... I don't recall, I was redesigning warp efficiency matrices with the best of them while you were making your teacher sick because you turned off the inertial dampening generators on your shuttle craft. ::scoffs::

CSO_LtCmd_So`tsoh says:
:: simply lifts a brow at the two 'boys' and turns around to begin her report.::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
EO:  I.D.G's had nothing to do with it.  It’s all in the fingers and in one's spatial awareness.  Besides, she gave me top honors.

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::closes one eye and raises the other eyebrow:: FCO: I can out pilot you.

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
FCO: If I may interject, she probably did that to get you out of her class! ::smiles::

FCO_Ens_Quinn says:
::looks at the EO, then back at the Captain, then back to the EO again then bites his lip and looks forward at the main screen.::  

EO_LtJG_Garlingus says:
::smiles brightly knowing he got to the good officer behind the helm nodding to the aOPS to resume his duties::

CO_Capt_Newell_McPhee says:
::sits back as they ride on::
