Suddenly a Klingon Bird of Prey decloaked  and commenced firing on the lone Federation  ship.  The seemingly afraid warrior would  not allow a rouz by enemy combatants and  seemed determined to destroy the Don  Johnson.  What will the crew do next?
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume  Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Tearkar says:
COMM: USS Don Johnson: Active where? Or do you not recall the great war?  ::charges all his primary weapons systems:: I will not fall for this again. Your civilization fell, and you are phantoms!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watching the exchange with interest::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, at the helm, looking over system status displays and nav sensor displays, for a reason why there are stuck::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COMM:Tearkar:Look at your sensors....we are just as real as you!

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::hits his comm badge:: *Bridge*: BRIDGE! What is going on!

Tearkar says:
::looks back up at his screen:: COMM: USS Don Johnson: I have been fooled by sensors before! The Vroa are quite vicious.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::taps comm. connect key:;  *EO*: Hey Frank.  Got some problem with your engines, I think we need a push::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: The engines? ::checks a reading:: *FCO*: I don't show anything is wrong.  Have you tried to hit the big blue button that says "Engage" ?

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::softly:: CO: I informed him that the Federation is active for us.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COMM:Tearkar:If we were Vora then you would have been destroyed long ago...Check the transponder signal of my ship.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
*EO*: A few times, yes.  I know the engines are showing normal on my end too, but we aren't able to move for some reason...  And no, there is nothing on sensors that could account for it.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
XO:Doesn't seem to believe it. I would rather avoid a fire fight if we can...but be ready. ::winks and turns back to the view screen::

Tearkar says:
COMM: USS Don Johnson: Stand by! ::closes the communication but keeps his weapons at the ready::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye ::motions for Norris to ready weapons and stand by::

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
Self: Humm... *FCO*: Alright, I'll see what's got us snagged, did you remember to activate the main deflector?

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
FCO:Status?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
*EO*: Yes, main deflector is active and cycling through EM bands currently.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CO: Still stuck, for the moment sir.  Garlingus is looking into it on his end.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
XO:Tactical Analysis? Can we hold our own?

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::goes to the nacelle read outs:: *FCO*: I will have to run a level one diagnostic but from what I can tell the EPS grid is infected with tacheons.  They seem to be having some sort of ... strange effect.  The XO is a better tactician than me, she can probably determine if these are foreign or not.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Unless they have some surprises with their weapons that we can't scan, then we should be able to hold them off for awhile. Perhaps our 'friend' ::indicates the screen:: would accept one of us beaming over to prove we are who we say we are.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: But I will need to shutdown main power to purge the tacheons.  They seem to be generating some sort of chronoton displacement... Are you seeing anything else strange?

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
*EO*: All-right, I'll check with her.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
XO:Open a Channel....

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS:Your thoughts on our friend Doc?

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::moves to her chair and taps a command::  CO: Channel open

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
*EO*: Strange?...  you could say.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS:If one of us go over...think he'd harm Us?

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
*FCO*: Elaborate?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::shrugs::  CO:  If he wasn't having doubts, he would have blown us up already.  He's inclined to consider what we say.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO:  If they speak to us, well that's a good question, but they can hear you

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COMM:Tearkar:Tearkar...I have a suggestion to alleviate your doubts.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CO: Captain, engineering is reporting a high level tachyon contamination of our EPS grid.  They need to shut down main power to purge the system.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS:That's true...can you get anything else from him?

Tearkar says:
::looks up from his console seemingly forgetting about the humans:: COMM: USS Don Johnson: What?! What do you want?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Betazoids can't sense anything from Klingons.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
*EO*: When we have some time, engineer. Can you get us mobile any other way?

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
FCO:Tell them to stand-by...right now we need main power. See if he can do it with out taking the main grid off line.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
CO: Sir.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COMM:Tearkar:Why don't one of us beam over to your ship and that way we can prove to you we are who we say we are. Agreed?

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS:Understood...from a psychological stand point...do you think he'd harm one of us if we go over?

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Moves up to Lemmick's side::  CO: I volunteer to go.  ::gives her best warrior stance::

Tearkar says:
::fires a spread of photon torpedoes at half yield:: COMM: Tearkar: I believe that should answer your questions!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Only if you insult his honor.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::Looks over at the XO::XO:Denied Commander....

ACTION: The torpedoes hit the Don Johnson's shields straight on.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::proximity sensors go nuts::  

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::reels with the ship::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Perhaps we should stop irritating the Klingons?

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::grabs the side of his chair::XO:Report? who fired?

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: find their weak spots and target them, hold fire until given the word

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::trips as the ship shudders:: *FCO*: Are we under attack!?  I suppose I could try a filter of some sort... I'll get back to you! Engineering Out.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::nods::  Self:  Work fast Frankie.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: The Klingons fired, sir.  Norris is targeting any weak spots, at least the weak spots on the BOPs from our time

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Glances at Norris::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COMM:TearKar:What is the meaning of this...we have not even powered our weapons. I am giving you my word as a fellow warrior and on my crew's honor we are from your past. We are not here to fight you...we are not this Vora you speak of.

TO_Norris says:
CO/XO: I've locked on and am waiting the word

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::whispers to the XO::XO:Have Norris quietly arm a spread of quantum torpedo's and ready phasers...quietly.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Aye.  Goes back to her chair and messages Norris then goes back to Lemmick's side::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::uncomfortable with the progressing hostilities::

Tearkar says:
::raises an eyebrow:: COMM: USS Don Johnson: My crew has scanned your vessel.  Lower your shields and prepare to be boarded.  We have found ways to detect Vroa disguised DNA since the great war.  If you are indeed Humans, and from the Federation, you are far from home.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::tries adjusting nacelle field geometry and strength to coax the ship into mobility::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COMM:Tearkar:Stand By ::mutes the comm::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS/XO:Well...thoughts?

TO_Norris says:
::does a slight cough::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Sir, Norris is ready

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Someone has to take a risk and trust.   ::shrugs again::  Set a limit on the boarding party.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO:  I agree.  A limit to the size and we can work the shields to go back up as soon as the agreed on group beams over.  I'll have teams set up in critical areas

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
COMM:Tearkar:I will meet you in our transporter Room Tearkar...we look forward to meeting you in person. 3 members should be sufficient. Lemmick out. 

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
XO:Commander....lower the shields...stand down weapons. 

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: Stand down, but be ready just in case.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  Captain, please don't question him about the future.  You really don't want to have to deal with temporal affairs.

EO_Lt_Garlingus says:
::assembles a team of engineers to brainstorm ways of how to remove rampant tacheon poisoning in the energy grid::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CNS: Too bad we can't sic a couple of those Temporal Affairs agents on that BOP  ::grins::  They would never be the same

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS:Sometimes Doc...it's just as easy to ignore the Temporal Prime Directive...too much of a headache. Commander....You have the bridge. Doc...with me.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods::  XO:  They would make a formidable foe.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks back at the CNS and the CO for a moment, turns back to his console and keys in access to short range lateral sensors, scans the Klingon ship::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CO: Sir, Sven will be in the transporter room ::nods::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::steps into the TL::TL:Transporter Room 1....

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::follows the CO::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
CNS:How is the crew holding up during this? 

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CO:  They are focused and confident as always.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO: See if you can find any other weakness on that BOP

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::sends sensor data to a protected secure file, taged to Tobias Quinn only::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::steps off the lift and walks down towards the transporter room::CNS:That's good...

TO_Norris says:
XO: Aye Ma'am.

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::enters the Transporter Room::Chief:Are our guests ready to beam over?

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
FCO: Do you have any evasive flight patterns you prefer?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::follows the CO::

Tearkar says:
::signals the Don Johnson as ready for transport::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Cheif:Energize when ready...

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::straightens his uniform::CNS:Here we go......

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::looks back at the XO, a little startled::  XO:  Aye sir, I have established Klingon evasive patterns cycled into the tactical  nav system, but I'm still not sure we can move.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::stands at attention slightly behind and to the left of the CO::

ACTION: Five Klingon Warriors some armed with energy weapons and some armed with Bat'leths materialize on the transporter pad of the USS Don Johnson.

TO_Sven says:
::stands between the transporter console and the CO and CNS::

Tearkar says:
::holds up what looks to be a modified Starfleet tricorder and scans around the room as he finishes materializing::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the Klingons materialize::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
::holds up his hand to Sven::Tearkar:Captain Tearkar, I am Captain Dynar Lemmick...USS Don Johnson. On behold of the crew I welcome you aboard. 

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
FCO: It won't hurt to have those patterns at the ready.  We might not get much notice when we get the conn back

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
XO: I heard that, sir.

Tearkar says:
::growls and sneers at the CO:: CO: I am Tearkar... And you appear to be who you say you are. ::grunts and his warriors lower their weapons:: CO: Your ship did not appear in our databases ... Captain.  Where did you come from!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::relaxes slightly::

TO_Sven says:
::Stands and watches over the Klingons, silent and big::

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::intensifies lateral sensor scans of the Klingon ship, rolls sensor settings, searching for high resolution::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::notes that Sven has been working out::

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Tearkar:I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. I want to introduce you to one of my senior staff, This is Commander Luchena...ships counselor. Why don’t we go to the briefing room and we can talk in private?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::nods at Tearkar::

Tearkar says:
::sneers at the CNS and then back at the CO:: CO: Take me to your command center.  We must immediately modify your internal sensors to detect Vroa activity.  It will be ::pauses:: in your best interests.

FCO_LTjg_Quinn says:
::gets sensor alert, unknown bio-mass on the hull of the Klingon ship.  Locks in a detailed high-rez scan::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
TO_Norris: Anything on sensors?

CO_Cmdr_Lemmick says:
Tearkar:I believe we should talk first Captain....allow me to explain a few things....warrior to warrior? Then I would be glad to give you a full tour of our ship.

TO_Norris says:
XO: Checking .......

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::smiles at Tearkar::
