Mission Summary 11205.31
The USS Don Johnson was caught in a surprise attack by two Cardassian Galor class warships.  Four photon torpedoes tore through the hull causing major hull breaches and impacting the port nacelle strut, causing warp to be improbable.  Shields are offline, as is main power.  Engineering Crews are scattered throughout the ship trying to patch the holes with temporary forcefields and emergency bulkheads.
Phaser fire continues to barrage the hull as the unchallenged Galors continue their relentless assault on the fleeing ship.  A flaming mess, the Don Johnson is helplessly trying to escape toward a radiation 'cloud' and firing upon what appears to be its sources.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

ACTION: The torpedoes strike their target and the dampening cloud reveals a ferengi outpost with several cargo carriers.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At tactical, firing at the energy concentration and waiting for the results.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::in engineering::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, I am reading a ferengi outpost... along with several cargo carriers.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::walks over to the CNS:: CNS: Good, good.  When it asks for confirmation, say yes, bypass any warnings.  ::walks back over to the master systems display:: *Bridge*: I can't give you warp speed, but I think I can restore the shields.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::eyes widen in fear, but remains focused on his task:

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: aims and fires on the relay station and anything else that happens to be in between.::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Take us to the outpost.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is pretty sure they are all about to die::

ACTION: Phaser fire continues to batter the Don Johnson uncontested... 

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks over toward Tobias::  FCO:  Coordinates on their way.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::at the helm, keeping the ship's position optimal for attack::  CSO: thank-you

MO_Leesur says:
::tucks her hair into a bun as the injured begin coming in::

Gul_Hanjon says:
COM: Don Johnson: You flee like the cowards you are! You don't even have the nerve to fire back! ::fires another volley::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO: I do not believe he knows the definition of coward.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: I believe you are correct.

OPS_Babbs says:
::transfers power to shields and flight from secondary systems::

OPS_Babbs says:
FCO: I'm giving you all I can.  But the shields don't want to react.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Do we have any rear phasers or launchers. I need just one.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks at the panel::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::finds the helm fighting him a little::  Ship:  Come on big -D.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
OPS: might have to get out and push soon.

MO_Leesur says:
::scrambles through the wounded assigning them priorities::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  They are the one thing we can still count on.  On your order.... target?

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: How are the Cardassians sitting?

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::walks back over to the CNS::  CNS: You're doing great.  At this rate all I have to do is open the magnetic constrictors to start the flow of anti-matter ... I hope they're not too damaged.

MO_Leesur says:
Nurse: This one has a severe head injury.  Get him to the operating room, Now!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
EO:  Can you do it from here?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Hits another command button::  CO:  On screen... they are red, ferengi or blue

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  100 kms and holding in pursuit.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::goes through every evasive maneuver in the "bag-O-tricks" starts improvising::

OPS_Babbs says:
::watches as the shield status continue to flake out::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Glances over her shoulder at the two red dots.::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: How close are they to each other?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
OPS: Who's flying those ships over there? I can't shake'em. 

MO_Leesur says:
::pulls a security officer from the biobed and sits him on the floor::  Security: Sorry, hun, that shoulder is dislocated but the guy coming in is missing part of his arm completely.  He gets the bed.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: notes the blue dots leaving the area.::  All:  Ferengii are fleeing the area, using the cloud as cover.  The station is fixed.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
All:  Cloud is 500 km at its widest.  The two cardassian ships are staying within that range of cover.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
CNS: No, unfortunately not.  I'll be back.  You should see if I'm successful on this panel here ::points and disappears into the upper levels of Main Engineering::

OPS_Babbs says:
FCO: I wish I knew.  Transferring more power to flight, the shields are still gone. ::gives flight all the power she can::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::hits his commbadge::  *EO*: Be careful.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
FCO: Take us closer to the nearest Carddy ship and give them our rear profile!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looking at the indicated panel::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: inputs the target information::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::notes a substantial increase in flight systems::  Self:  Oh yes!  Now I can do something...  Maybe.  CO:  Aye aye sir.  ::spins and flips the ship over and moves closer to the Cardassian ship::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
FCO: I want within 75000 kilometers!

MO_Leesur says:
::focuses on stopping the bleeding and stabilizing her patient::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Stand by with weapons.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
FCO: Let me know when we are in position.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CO: Yes sir.  ::adjusts vector and speed::

OPS_Babbs says:
::wishes she'd taken the dare to space walk and put "If you can read this you are too close" on the backside of the DJ::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CO:  fifteen seconds and we're there sir.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Stand by to eject the warp core!

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: her eyes on the targeting scanner and using intuition, she stands ready to fire.::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: And then target it. I think you know the rest.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notices the display lighting up green::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow, not expecting that and contacts engineering to be ready::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks over at the CSO, concerned::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*EO*:  It looks good, whatever it is.

ACTION: As a small explosion vibrates through the ship warp power is restored.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  We appear to have warp power.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks over at the various data coming on line.::  All:  Shields at 55%

CO_Russ_Horn says:
FCO: Take us clear of the asteroid field!!

OPS_Babbs says:
CO: Confirmed, Captain, warp power is now online::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
FCO: As soon as we have a clear view take us to maximum warp!!

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::while already adjusting course:: CO: yes sir,

OPS_Babbs says:
::sets to adjust power to shields as power rebuilds::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: knows she does not need to tell Tobias to baby the ship.::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Let’s see if we can bloody their nose. Target their engines with everything we have online and fire.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::enables the warp drive, setting for max. warp::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CO: cross your fingers!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Bridge*:  Ummm... bridge.  Don't go to warp, okay?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::feels the blood drain from his face as he looks at the warp drive status indicator::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looks at the display panel closely, trying to understand what exactly it’s telling him::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Upon command, opens fire::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*Bridge*:  Hello.  Did anybody here me?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::realizes it’s a simulation. Garlingus must have programmed it to run::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*:  Aye, counselor.

OPS_Babbs says:
*CNS*: We hear you, Counselor.  I'm trying to see what you are looking at.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  Don't go to warp.  She’ll break apart.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Captain, the ship cannot handle warp.

OPS_Babbs says:
::ties in to the engineering display trying to ascertain what the CNS is seeing::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
FCO: Belay that order!!

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Did not question the counselor, though was curious how she ended up down in engineering.::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Why not?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::holds with his finger over the button::  CO: Sir?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Beyond the system being unstable?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*:  Can you inform us why in very few words...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  Too much hull damage... at least I think that's the message.  ::looks at the display carefully::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*:  Understood.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  The ships integrity is compromised beyond are ability to make a safe warp, with or without an out of control worm hole.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Did we damage the Cardassian ship?

ACTION: The weapons fire from the Don Johnson hits its targets and the Cardassians take far more damage than expected.  All ships can be seen retreating and the station can be seen launching escape pods.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks at alarm on Warp Drive Status Display::  CO: Showing a failure in our magnetic constriction system, sir.  drive plasma isn't making it to the nacelle anyway.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Aye.  They are retreating.  Escape pods are launching.

OPS_Babbs says:
::sees warp power online but the power transfer to the nacelle is off indicating severe damage, transfers the power back to shields::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Are communications back up?

MO_Leesur says:
::stops the bleeding and moves on to the next patient::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks over at OPS::  OPS: Corp of engineers is going to go up one side of us, and down the other.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: taps a few commands in:: CO: No.  It looks the deflector dish took an indirect hit.  All subspace and long range sensors are still offline.

OPS_Babbs says:
FCO: Up you, maybe, after this, I'm transferring to a nice safe station.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::wonders what happened to Garlingus.  Tries to ~~~sense~~~ him::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::grins and returns to his controls::

Gul_Hanjon says:
COM: Don Johnson: You haven't seen the last of us! ::wipes some sweat off his brow revealing an unusual brown spot on his forehead before closing communication::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Then let those carddies stew for awhile till we get repairs made. We are in no condition to proceed with another rescue operation.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Acknowledged.

MO_Leesur says:
::looks up as another group of injured come in::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::frowns::

OPS_Babbs says:
::frowns at the screen::  CO: Captain, do Cardassians have warts?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Has the computer take sensor data they had and run a simulation on why the damage to the cardassian ships was greater than expected.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Computer:  Do we have internal sensors?

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: What are they up to? They don’t have the resources to enter another war. At least not without Dominion assistance.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::quickly runs a diagnostic on flight controls and systems::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks toward OPS::  Babbs:  It is possible.

OPS_Babbs says:
::gives as much power back to shields as she can until they are sure the Cardassians are done.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
OPS: Depends on your point of view I guess.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Whatever is going on, the ferengii are involved.  Sir, you need to talk to the leader of our refugees.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*Engineering*:  Can you give me a repair estimate?

OPS_Babbs says:
CO: It's just....::pulls up the record of the message and freezes it on the last second of the Cardassian::  Look.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: I think you’re right. By the way how did we get warp power back online.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  Hang on.  I need a minute to get it pulled together.  Can you locate Lt Garlingus?  I think he's been wounded?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Looking into that now.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::scans incoming department status reports::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: now she is surprised::  *CNS*:  You are running engineering?  :: As she speaks she had the computer search for the EO's commbadge.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  I'm forwarding the reports to your console now.

Nurse says:
MO: This is the last group. ::sighs::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::does so, hoping someone up there can figure it out::

MO_Leesur says:
Nurse: Good,  Tell doctor Rosin to get started in surgery.  I have it out here.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*:  Acknowledged.  :: moves over to her station which is better equipped for reading through non-tactical data.::

CO_Russ_Horn says:
ALL: All stations report.

OPS_Babbs says:
::sends the message to the Captain to look at later.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*:  Counselor, I can apparently tell you where he is not.  With all the damage, there are far too many blind spots.  I am forwarding you what I have.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  That's okay.  I know where he was headed.  I just need the schematics.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CO: helm, holding together sir.  thrusters and impulse available, warp drive pending.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  Ships fire suppression system is offline, however crew are working on any fires.  Ship systems are running.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: scanning through the data the counselor sent.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::looking for the location of the magnetic constrictors::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  We have life support in most areas of the ship.  Engineering has prioritized sealing the hull breaches at the moment.  And our CEO appears to be missing.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::is about to go after Garlingus, then realizes if he does, there will be nobody in engineering::

MO_Leesur says:
::hears the door as another patient is brought in, her heart falters when she sees who it is::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns around::  CO:  We will need to head for the nearest station and dry dock to realign the warp nacelles as well as check out other major areas.  I suggest we collect the escape pods and head out.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::updates navigational references, locates Starbase DS 102 as the nearest port::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::~~~focuses~~~ on Garlingus::

MO_Leesur says:
*CO* Sickbay to bridge.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
*MO*: Go ahead.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::reassures himself that the engineer is alive and not in pain::

ACTION: Engineers begin reappearing in Main Engineering going to various stations with varying levels of dirt covering them.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  ETA to the nearest starbase?

MO_Leesur says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm sending two of your Senior officers in for surgery.  Commander On is being operated on now.  And Commander Lemmick was just brought in.  He'll be heading into surgery momentarily.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::checks calculations:: CSO:  best speed, about a week.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
*CSO*:  I'm leaving Engineering to look for Garlingus.  Some of the team has returned.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
*MO*: Lemmick? Surgery? How bad is it?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*:  Thank you.  Could you please put whoever appears to be in charge on.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
Random EO:  You're in charge.  The bridge wants to speak to you.

MO_Leesur says:
*CO*: He'll be out for a while, Sir.  We are still in triage at the moment. ::continues the scan::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: checks the surrounding area the best she can.::

OPS_Babbs says:
FCO: We could always get a shuttle to tow us.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
*MO*: Thank you. I will be down there as soon as I can. Keep me updated. Horn out.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Head carefully toward the escape pods for now.  If nothing else, perhaps they have some answers.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
OPS: That'll take longer :;smiles::  At least engineering will get a good start on repairs.

CO_Russ_Horn says:
CSO: Do we have a secure location to hold the Cardassians?

MO_Leesur says:
::finishes the scan and calls for a transfer unit to take Lemmick directly to surgery::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::follows the EO into the Jeffrey's tube::

MO_Leesur says:
*CO*: Understood, Sickbay out.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::nods yes to the CSO:, turns to the CO:: CO:  We could contact Starfleet and see if there is a warp tug in the area.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CO:  The area is clear.  What I am uncertain about is the cloud and the retreating Ferengii.  It masked their escape.  Though could be gone or using the cloud for hiding.
