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

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@::On the Kalifay, entering the engine room, and looking around for EO Garlingus::  EO:  Frank?  Frank?!

Host CO Russ Horn says:
::On the bridge::

CMO Lemaun says:
@::in the engine room of the Kalifay treating an injured crewman::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
:: On the bridge::  CO: It is as I suspected, our power is down to 70% and dropping.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::on the bridge at a secondary station::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
ALOUD: Metallic circular object maintaining current position but it seems to be getting bigger.

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: I believe your engineer just went to check on a power relay.  Can I help? ::finishes with the crewman::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: I need communications anyway you can do it. I need to speak to Lemmick.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::suspects they are all about to die::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Aye sir, I will break out flashlights if I have to, sir.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::in the lift on her way to the bridge, it stops before getting there::  Self: I should have known ::works on getting the door open, she's not that far from the bridge::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::begins cross-patching to get power to communications so that ship to ship comm signals can be accessed::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Do you have any kind of bearing on the Tellerite ship yet?

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::the lift doors open and she climbs up to the bridge::  TO Norris: TO: Report

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::hears a clanking noise coming from the turbolift shaft::  CO: what?  No... its not like that.  It's not directional.  We need to go out and look for them.

CMO Lemaun says:
@::moves over to the Don Johnson's FCO::  FCO: Can I help Ensign?

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::Norris give a quick report and then moves to TAC 2::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@CMO Lamaun: I'm looking for your navigation central processor. You wouldn't happen to know where it is in all this, would you?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Captain, the issue is that I can boost our messaging all I want but they are completely dead over there.  The problem is on their side, not ours.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: What about combadges? Can we use those somehow?

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: Son, this ship is pretty backwards compared to most.  Look where you least expect something and you'll find it.  Come on. ::points to a small room::  It's in there.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@::follows:: CMO Lamaun: I've been on my share of backwards ships, got to admit though, this one is pretty up near the top

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: The commbadges are also being affected by the power drain and since they have a smaller power supply, they are being affected quicker and more completely.

CMO Lemaun says:
@::smiles softly::  FCO: Yep, and to think I asked to spend time on her.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Can we get close enough so I can just yell out an airlock?

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::taps a command on her board, tries to call up sensors, both external and internal.  Sends a message to the Captain that all security teams are stationed through out the ship, each team has two medics::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::sighs;:

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: Well, the money's good, right?  ::grins::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Sound does not travel well in the vacuum of space, Captain.  That would not work well.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: I need suggestions and now!

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: Oh, honey, I'm not here for the money.  I'm here for the experience.  At my age, there isn't much left that I haven't seen. ::enters the room::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::looks at the sensor representations::  CO:  If we have propulsion, we need to pull away from that thing out there.  It's killing the Tellerites.  We'll be next

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::enters the room after Lemaun::  CMO Lemaun: Wow, sure its in here, eh?

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Ok counselor we will try your way.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::racks her brain for an idea::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Take a shuttle over to the Kalifay. On your way use the sensors to find the Tellerites.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CNS I need the away team back ASAP.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::shocked::   CO:  Aye.  ::gets up::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Transporter status?

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::Finds what should be the "Nav. C.P." and patched his tricorder in with a length of optical cable::  Aloud: well lets see what she has to tell us.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Hit and miss right now.  Power is too low to guarantee any accuracy.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::moves to the turbolift and waits::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CNS: Bring as many from the Kalifay as you can hold in the shuttle.

CMO Lemaun says:
@::knocks some debris out of the way::  FCO: It's right there.  ::points to the corner::  Do I need to pull this all out?

ACTION:  Sensors seem to hiccup and show the circular mass to be within 1000 kilometers.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CO:  Aye.  ::watches the lift doors close::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Captain, that circular metallic object is within 1000 Km of the ship.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Sir, I'll have three security people meet the counselor in the shuttle bay. CNS: You'll need the medics on the team

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::looks over at where the CMO is pointing::  CMO Lemaun:  Oh, so it is.  ::unplugs from the other console and plugs into the right one, immediately sees results::  Mmmmm, better.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
CTO:  And the biggest shuttle.  ::disappears into the turbolift::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Belay that. I need as much room for Kalifay crewman as possible. However have medics standing by in the shuttle bay.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::rattling along in the turbolift::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: I need pilots on every available shuttle to start evacuating the Kalifay.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Aye, sir ::sends the instructions to team Omega, to have them stand by in the shuttle bay, alerting the medics that there may be casualties::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: So you nav logs say you set out from Winnipeg Drift before heading to the badlands. What did you pick up there?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::Begins sending out the orders to all the available shuttle pilots on the ship.::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::surprised to arrive on the appropriate deck::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: I am also certified as a shuttle pilot, sir.  Do you want me to take one as well?

Host CO Russ Horn says:
ALL: We have to use shuttles to evacuate that ship, I need everybody standing by to move people out of the bays as fast as we can and I need shuttles moving to get that ship clear quickly.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::sees a type 8 being prepared for launch.  Approaches at a quick walk::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Sir, many of my security people are also trained shuttle pilots also.  I can pull them off for pilot duty

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::gets in and waits for the all clear::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: As soon as the FCO is on ship I need him on the bridge. Corrdinate your people with Comdr Stidd.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::nods at Stidd::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
*CO*:  Shuttle three ready to launch.

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: We pick up minerals, ores, and the like that are traded for supplies.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::finished downloading the Kalifays entire navigational history::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
*CNS*: Launch.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
TO Norris: Norris, head down to the bay, as soon as Ensign Quinn is on board bring him up here ASAP

ACTION:  The Kalifay's systems fail, 8 hours breathable air remain

TO Norris says:
CTO: Aye, Ma'am

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
*CO*:  Aye.  ::gives the all clear to begin launch::

TO Norris says:
::heads to the shuttle bay::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: Just curious...  I was on it a few years ago, not a very nice place.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::watches the bay doors open::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::looks at all the alarms flashing::  CMO Lemaun: I think that's our cue to abandon ship.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Continues in his current roles hearing the CTOs instructions::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::launches::

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: I wouldn't really know.  I'm on leave from Starfleet and just came here for a few weeks to learn a bit before reporting for duty. ::sees a report on the console by the door and frowns::

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: Well, isn't that nice?  You're right, there go the systems.  We have 8 hours fix it or leave at most.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
::Takes all replicators and other semi required systems off-line to help boost power reserves::

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::gets his bearings::

CMO Lemaun says:
@::sighs and hopes they can clear the ship within the young ones panicking::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: How long to evacuate the Kalifay?

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: You're Starfleet, well what a coincidence, so am I.  ::grins::  

CMO Lemaun says:
@::steps back out the door and speaks loudly:: All: Okay, ladies and gentlemen get in line and walk to the shuttle bay.  Don't make mama angry.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::sees the Kalifay and sets course in its direction::

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::Moves over to OPS and hands Stidd a padd with the security people that are rated shuttle pilots:: OPS: Here are the people I've pulled off of security detail.  They've all been rated for all shuttle types we've got on board

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::taps Comm badge:: *DJ*: Quinn to Don Johnson.

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: We've got a couple of shuttles but we'll need help to get everyone clear.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: 4 hours 18 minutes 49.2843 seconds rough guess, sir.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Can we speed that up?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CTO: Thank you Commander I will start assigning them to shuttle service.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: My ship is just off the Kalifays rear quarter, hopefully the folks over there are monitoring and are ready to lend a hand.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::attempts to get a transporter lock on anybody aboard the Kalifay::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: With the list that Miss. Fowler just gave me we can.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
OPS: Let me know what you need ::gives Stidd a short nod::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: I think ship to ship comms are down.

CMO Lemaun says:
@::starts moving people out of engineering::  FCO: I hope so.  Otherwise, we may be putting on enviro suits and swimming across space to your ship.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::heads back to her station with a small smile:: Self: 'Miss'

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::adjusts the settings and tries again::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: Wouldn't recommend a swim tonight.  There might be Sharks.  I'm Tobias Quinn by the way. 

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: With the additional pilots and shuttles in the air we should be able to cut that time to 1 hour 13 minutes.  Sir.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: How many people can we squeeze onto a shuttle. I am not worried about seats. I want standing room.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::follows the people towards the Kalifay's shuttle/cargo deck::

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: Shonan Lemaun, nice to meet you Tobias.  Feel up to flying a shuttle?

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::visually scanning for a docking port::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: I calculate that they could have a total of 24 per shuttle using all available space.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Commander?

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO LEmaun:  I was born to fly.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: This thing is draining our power correct?

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: Come on, then, I wouldn't trust most of these people to drive a horse let alone a shuttle.  ::heads to the shuttle bay::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Aye sir it is.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: And the drain is slow and steady right?

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Yes sir, we are down to 53% and dropping.

CMO Lemaun says:
@::motions to the Kalifay's medics to carry the injured and unconscious instead of trying to use gurneys::

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: What if we were to force feed it a massive amount of power at once?

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ CMO Lemaun: I heard that.  ::turning into the shuttle bay, spots the shuttle an old dilapidated hulk::  Ahhhh, OK, lets hope its space worthy

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::listens and does some figures in her head::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: It might just release some of the power that it has drained and more than likely it would stop draining for a while to figure out what had happened.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Thats what I hope will happen.

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Weapons online!

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: You can't transport all types of ore, it has to be shuttled.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Aye  ::brings weapons online:: Weapons hot, sir

CMO Lemaun says:
@All: Come on folks, load up!  Injured on the first round.

CMO Lemaun says:
@FCO: Good luck, I'll see you over there.  I'll fly the other one.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::enters the shuttle, takes the left seat and starts the power up cycle::  CMO Lemaun:  Cheers.

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: Captain

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::gets a transporter lock on the XO::

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::looks behind::  Aloud:  All aboard.

CNS Cmdr Luchena says:
::initiates transport::

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: If you use a torpedo it would not cost anything from the ships power reserves like the phasers would.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: Lock Photon torpedoes onto that mass out there. Full yield!

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: Thats what I am thinking Comdr.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
CO: Torpedoes locked on

Host Susan says:
ACTION: Transporters on the shuttle are able to retrieve the DJ personnel from the Kalifay.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
CTO: FIRE!

FCO Ens Quinn says:
@ ::feels an uneasy shuttle in the shuttle deck plates as the main engine comes online::  Self:  We're going to die of radiation poisoning for sure.

CTO Cmdr Fowler says:
::taps the fire command::  CO: Torpedoes away

CMO Lemaun says:
@::Moves to the other shuttle, loads it up, and starts the engines:: All: Hang on, folks, we're out of here.

Host CO Russ Horn says:
OPS: I hope you were right!

OPS LtCmdr Stidd says:
CO: As do I.

FCO Ens Quinn says:
::suddenly finds himself on a DJ shuttle::  Self:  Oh somebody up there likes me.

ACTION:  The blind shot at the approaching vessel makes impact, however, the power drain continues.  A Tractor beam locks on to the Kalifay.
