USS Don Johnson NCC-61701

Host Toros says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@:: In the shuttle, keeping her as a shadow, listening to the tactical officer as he examined the shuttle thoroughly.:: TO:  There goes another set.  I wonder how many probes they have.  I also wonder why they are sending the probes in the first place.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::On the bridge watching the others work::

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  It's probably all automated.  So far no one has thought of a better idea.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@::looks over the incoming scans for any new information::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> :: on the bridge, keeping a close eye on the incoming vessels, trying to get one information he can from sensors.::

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@::tries to identify any lingering weapons' signatures::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Gets up and makes a slow circuit around the bridge, nodding to crew as she moves by::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> XO:  I have short range sensors now on the vessel.  I am reading fifty life signs.  Weapons hot.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  They are scanning the area.  Are they able to scan us?

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
::in engineering working on the repairs::

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  They don't seem to have noticed us so far, but that might just be dumb luck.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::supervising security ops on the Bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Moves up to the Tactical station::  CTO: Have sensors picked up anything on the unknown ship?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  I am hoping it is due to this ships dampeners and shielding.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  I still keep wondering if the enemy is before us or behind us.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
CSO:  I hope so too.  I can't see anything unusual about that ship.  I don't know why they seem to have gone rogue.  Maybe they’ve all gone crazy

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Checking now, we have a Nova class starship. Attempting to identify. It seems to be a Federation vessel, but their behavior pattern suggest something is amiss. I am detecting 50 life forms aboard, possibly the crew.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@:: tempted to say they probably belong to the stations commander then, but does not.::

Host Toros says:
ACTION: The USS Don Johnson along with its 'shadow' shuttle have come half way between Starbase 320 and the inbound ship.  The ship is seen cutting all engines and sending out a general hail.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  Can we contact the ship without giving ourselves away?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ TO:  I am picking up a hail for the... Don Johnson.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO: That might give us an open comm line

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::runs scans on Nova class vessel::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Weapons hot, but it doesn't look like they are ready to fire  ::raises and eyebrow as she looks at the information::

Host Toros says:
<Cmdr_Tendk> COMM: Any Ship: This is Commander Tendk of the Federation Starship Celeron.  Do not approach this vessel.  The crew is dead, and I am its last survivor.  The enemy has commandeered this ship and ... END COMMUNICATION.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Aye. I am trying to identify the vessel so we can possibly use their prefix code if it is one of ours.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: looks over at the TO::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Raises her head as the message comes over the comm::  CTO: Now that is an interesting twist

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  I wonder who the enemy is and what they want from us?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  I am reading fifty life signs aboard.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  Still keeping scans passive.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  The message seems authentic, unrecorded.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@To himself more than anyone else: We can't let them attack the station.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: USS Celeron, NCC 78486. Trying to pull up LCARS record for prefix code. Scanning vessel to confirm life signs.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Sheytani> XO:  Message reads as authentic.  I am pulling up the last known assignment for the Celeron.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
::sees an unfamiliar life sign on the sensors::

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
::makes the final adjustments to the dilithium crystal chamber and begins a test sequence::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: The computer is identifying as authentic message. I am detecting life signs.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: What is the Celeron's patrol area supposed to be?  Maybe we can get a read on possibles for their 'enemy'

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Ma'am the message is contradictory.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: How so, Lieutenant?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani>  :: making sure the CSO gets the information as well...:: XO:  Last known location was a nebula not far from here.  No unusual reports were flagged.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Well I am getting life signs, but the Captain of their ship is saying they are all dead. He is the only one alive.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
CSO:  I don't know what that is.  ::points at the reading::

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
::nods to herself as she sees the test results and begins bringing things back online::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: leans over:: TO:  Vroa... but why?  Why are we still dealing with them when they were defeated...

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  Send a message through your special code to the CTO.  They will not be picking that up.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
SO: So they were in a fairly clear area.  ::Looks at the main screen then back to the tactical screen::  CTO/SO: Something about this just doesn't smell right

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  Aye.  ::forwards the bio data the CTO::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: scans the vicinity for any other ships.::

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
*XO/CTO*: Engineering room to bridge, the systems are being brought online.  

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  Done.   I'm not familiar with the Vroa.  What motivates them?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::receives message from Ki, encoded and encrypted on unique frequency::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ TO:  Extreme xenophobia.  They would rather see the fall, the destruction of the federation and their allies then trust us to leave them alone.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::reads over data::

Host Toros says:
ACTION: Due to the impressive efforts of the CEO and the entire Engineering Department, the warp core has been brought back online and full power is restored aboard the USS Don Johnson.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::excited:: XO: Full power back online.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  Why have they stopped their attack?   What are they waiting for?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  They probably do not know about our ability to detect them.  It would be far easier to allow them aboard to take over then to fight us.  We do have the superior weaponry here.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Good news  *CEO*: Good job, Lieutenant!

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  They've already destroyed one of our ships.  Why are we hesitating?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: We should move to red alert and prepare boarding parties with security and marines. It's the Vroa, they are onboard the ship.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  Possible giving the CEO as much time as possible to get ship engines online.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@::nods::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Station teams to the secure areas of the ship and have the others move throughout the ship

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  They also may not know their spy failed.

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
#COMM: USS Don Johnson: This is Commander Tendk, Commanding Officer of the USS Celeron.  Do you read me over?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Security Teams*: Set Code Black, secure all critical and vulnerable areas of the ship. Set condition one throughout the ship.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Incoming COMM from the Captain of the Celeron.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  I vote we listen in quietly.  :grins::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Well, lets see what they have to say

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
COMM: Tendk: This is Commander Fowler of the USS Don Johnson

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
#COMM: USS Don Johnson: Hello Commander Fowler.  We have detected you are approaching our vessel fully armed and prepared for battle.  I assure you there is no need.  We have raised our shields and armed our weapons systems simply as a precautionary measure.  Please stand down.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::cuts audio::

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
*XO*: You can thank Lt. Telarus, it was his idea that got us started.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  Are these people intellectually challenged in some way?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Commander, we need to ask them for their authentication codes. I think this is an obvious trap, it may be Vroa imposter.

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
::begins closing panels now that the majority of the repairs ar done and systems are coming up.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Good possibility.

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
#::orders his engines to engage again and to make an approach toward the USS Don Johnson::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Resume audio on your command.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*CEO*: Noted.  Stand by for some action

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Do it

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  Keep in mind, we have the advantage of knowing who they are.  The Vroa are excellent actors.  They can take on the form of anyone as well as their personality.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::takes helm control::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Audio resumed.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
COMM: Tendk: Commander Tendk, could you please verify your authentication codes?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: They are closing their distance.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@::nods::  CSO:  I think they are about to move.  Should we charge our puny weapons?

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Permission to move away from vessel?

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: taps a few buttons.::  TO:  What is our shielding like?

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
#COMM: USS Don Johnson: Yes Commander of course.  However, we appear to be having trouble with our communications array.  Sending them over now. ::nods to his comms officer::

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
::runs a thorough system check before closing the last panel::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Maintain a constant distance

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO: Normal for this type of shuttle.  We could take a couple of hits.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::begins to move away from Celeron::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
COMM: Tendk: Thank you Commander

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::receives codes and begins to check::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::code analysis shows old code::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: nods::  TO:  I am taking the shuttle away from the DJ to allow them more movability.  We could also provide a surprise distraction as needed.

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
#COMM: USS Don Johnson: Commander, we require your assistance.  We are attempting to get to Starbase 320 at the other end of the sector, and are unable to do so.  The shuttle that was to welcome us self-destructed before we were able to open hailing frequencies.  We suspect Vroa activity in this area.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  I suspect that powering up our weapons will give us away.  I'll hold until your command.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::sends message to XO at CO panel:: XO: Code failed. Old code before new security protocols. Suggest we challenge.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::Nods at Telarus::

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@::looks over the other ship specs, looking for a vulnerable target::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: keeps the shuttles movement subtle as they move further away from the DJ.::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::begins running cross section check for targeting critical systems for disable::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
COMM: Tendk: Commander, we have received your code. I do need to confirm that you have sent the correct code.  Please confirm 

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  If we wanted to make the most out of our hits, if we must fight, what area of that ship would you suggest?

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  Shield generators

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::sends another message:: XO: Ship is passive targeted, ready to disable and board vessel if necessary.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
::turns slightly:: CTO: We'll give them one last chance.  Be ready on my mark

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: mentally notes the two ships movement and the location of the generator.::  TO:  One of the downside of taking one of our ships, is that we know what we are up against.

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
#::checks his systems:: COMM: USS Don Johnson: Commander, I know not what you mean.  Our codes are authentic as verified by Starfleet Command Operations and Tactical Divisions operating within this sector.  I will forward you our orders.  Please stop moving, it is becoming far too... END COMMUNICATION

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
ACTION: An explosion can be seen from the engineering hull of the starship and sensors detect the beginning of a warp core breach.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  Oh my.....::looking at the sensor readouts::

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
::satisfied with the results, and begins testing all of the repairs as a safeguard::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  Oh my, is right... :: takes the shuttle away::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> XO:  Commander, warp core breach imminent from the other ship.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: We can try to extend one of our shield generators to contain the breach, or try beaming it out and away.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Get us between that ship and the shuttle

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Aye.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: If you feel lucky, then beam it away from that ship, but make sure to keep an eye on them

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::moves and positions to protect the shuttle::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::targets core with transporters and locks signal::

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
ACTION: The USS Celeron's shields interfere with the transporters as the ship begins to explode.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: I will have to try and hack their system to get the shields down, or bring it down with a salvo of quantum torpedoes.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: at the moment of explosion, increases the shuttles shields to maximum.::

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@::hopes they have gotten far enough away::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: We should not beam anyone aboard. We are now also in the path of the explosion protecting the shuttle.

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
::rolls eyes as she notes the sensor reports and scrambles to reinforce shields::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Fortify the shields facing them and use the tractor beam to push them away from us

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
Self:  One of these days...

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::reinforces shields facing Celeron::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
SO: Notify the shuttle to move closer to us and then extend the shields to protect them

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@::grabs hold of the armrests::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::signals TO to start moving away so they can start to move away to a safe distance::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Recommend we move to a safe distance with shuttle in tractor tow.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> XO:  The shuttle is safely away.  It would take them too long to return...

CEO_LtJG_Lane says:
*Bridge*: We need to get out of here

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Noted, do it

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
SO: Good, let them know that we are moving their way and will meet up

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::engages tractor beam and goes to full impulse with shields protecting shuttle:: XO: Aye full impulse away from the Celeron.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
*CEO*: We are moving out, Lieutenant

Host Cmdr_Tendk says:
ACTION: The USS Celeron's warp core explodes JUST as the Don Johnson's engines engage to move away to a safe distance. The ship is rattled but due to the reinforced shielding is relatively undamaged.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: far enough away, the shock wave does little more than announce itself.::

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@TO:  I do not understand the logic of what just happened.  Unless the lone survivor just did his best to save the station.

TO_LTjg_Ki says:
@CSO:  I makes no sense to me, either.  Maybe we will get some clues from the wreckage.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ TO:  It would appear we will not get to put this shuttle through its paces.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO/SO: Scan the area.  I want to know if anything is left to show us who was in command of the Celeron and if they blew themselves up or what happened

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Recommend we scan the ship for any Vroa intruders.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: waits for the ships approach before taking her back aboard.::

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
CTO: Agreed.  Have the SEC/TAC teams remain on alert

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
XO: Aye.

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> XO:  with your permission, I will beam some of the debris aboard as well.

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
::scans ship with Vroa tech::

CTO_Lt_Telarus says:
SO: Maximum containment protocols and I'll assign one of my HAZ Mat Security teams.

XO_Cmdr_Fowler says:
SO: Do it but make sure it's behind a force field

CSO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Shaytani> CTO:  Aye, sir.
