Mission Summary 11404.24

The crew of the USS Don Johnson is mourning the loss of their Chief Tactical Officer, Mr. Ki... They continue to investigate his strange ... "disappearance".

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

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::on the bridge at the tactical station::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: At science, basically staring over Sky's shoulder.::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::At operations::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::on the bridge, at helm, pushing buttons::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::in Chief Tactical Officer's office:: Self: I can't believe it... ::puts down a PADD and leaves the office::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::heads down the corridor::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Sky> :: keeps his breath even as the captain stares over his shoulder.::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::looking over the results of the scans of the container as they scroll by::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::enters TL:: TL: Bridge

TO_Ens_Trois says:
All on the bridge:  I don't understand these readings.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
OPS: What have you got? ::both curious and suspicious::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::doors open and steps off::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::alerts the other bridge stations to the sensor readings::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::looks at the Captain and nods:: CO: Captain.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
OPS:  The data should be right there.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: catching the movement, nods back at Telarus::  TO:  What are you reading?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::looks at the data::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::continues watching the numbers scroll by::  CO:  The scans of the big box out there.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::logs on to his station::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::makes a slight change in the ship's position, keeping the ship within optimal sensor range::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::looks over the sensor readings::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
All: Well, it's big enough to house a standard federation shuttle...there' some sensor interference...

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  We are picking up the size and some device that is causing problem with sensors... working on trying to get around that.

Host KingToros says:
ACTION: A Romulan warbird bearing the same signature as the one that Coltdak came from decloaks in dangerously close proximity to the USS Don Johnson

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: I can try to get us better sensor resolution.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks toward Donovan::  OPS/CEO:  Suggestions?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Trying to get the sensors... ::sees the alert about the warbird::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
<SO Sky> CO:  Captain...

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain... ::points to the view screen::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks down at the sensors::  TO:  Take us to yellow alert.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::reacts to proximity alerts, engages thrusters to back the ship away::  Self: whoa!

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Contact that vessel and ask them what brings them here.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Also get its call number and name.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: I suggest we try emitting our own harmonic resonate frequency 180 degrees out of phase with the one causing the sensor glitch...it would in theory, cause phase cancellation and allow us to probe further

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::activates yellow alert::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
SO: Sky, it is yours to work with.

Host KingToros says:
ACTION: The warbird cloaks as quickly as it decloaked but the container is now gone.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::hails the warbird::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: moves to stand by flight.::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::again, reacts to proximity alerts cancelling, checks proximity sensors, and neutralizes the thrusters::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Adjusting the sensors, I'll find them.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO:  I think the box is gone.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: looks behind her at Trois::  TO:  Confirm.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::widens the sensor spread and searches for it::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Find that warbird.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO: Prepare to go after the warbird.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::checks for tachyon emission spikes::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Aye

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
FCO: Adjust your search for tetryon particles, that will be the warbird if any show up at all.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
CEO: Tetryon particles, aye. ::makes the necessary adjustments::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Rotate the sensor frequency search field. Use narrow band instead of going wide band search. Rotate the frequency every 15 seconds. Search using the lateral sensors on one frequency and the other palettes on an alternating frequency.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Send a report to the admiral.  Maybe he has some more facts in that bag of his.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Give Telarus priority.

Host aOPS_Ens_Rolling says:
::looks to his boss who seems very busy:: CEO: I'm not sure if I can manipulate the sensor palette from my console.  Why don't you try?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Can you follow the beta trail?

Host aOPS_Ens_Rolling says:
OPS: Do you know how to adjust the sensor palette boss?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::enters in the command routines for the dish::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::checks the sensor resolution of the beta radiation trail:: CO:  Aye, Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain, I want to try to destabilize their cloaking field.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  While they work on something more definitive, follow it.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
Rillings: Yes, and so should you, if you're in my department

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  We have to find them in general first.

Host aOPS_Ens_Rolling says:
::blushes:: OPS: I mean.. I was just transferred here sir.  I traded in my phaser rifle for a padd about 2 weeks ago.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::lays in a pursuit course::  CO: I have a strong trace signal, initiating pursuit.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: I can do that, or at least give us a better shot than we have now.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: leans slightly, her hand on the back of his chair::  FCO:  Can you get a general distance and direction?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Can you make the necessary changes to the scanning parameters?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
Rolling: It's okay. Here, I'll show you. ::makes the adjustments:: See? It's a matter of power allocation usually.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: I just did

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
CO: negative, the ship is still cloaked, but she is leaking enough radiation to follow.  If the signal gets stronger, I'd guess we are getting close.

Host aOPS_Ens_Rolling says:
::nods staring blankly at the view screen a small amount of saliva emanating from the lower right corner of his mouth:: OPS: Aye.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
Rolling: Are you aware you're drooling on my console? You're dismissed. Report to medical.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Once we get close enough, at all possible, try to beam it away from them.  I am not sure we really want it, but at this point, I do not want them to have it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: I can project small static warp bubbles across the space around us. If we do this it can exploit a weakness in their cloaking technology.

Host aOPS_Ens_Rolling says:
::looks around seemingly disoriented wiping his mouth:: OPS: Aye, sorry sir. ::disappears into a turbolift::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO: We are defense only.  Were you able to get any information about that ship?

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::keeps a close eye on the signal intensity monitor, making slight course adjustments to stay true::

Host aOPS_Ens_Rolling says:
ACTION: The trail takes a 90 degree turn to the right and stops.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO:  Nothing beyond its make and model.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::instinctively tracks with the signal as its heading changes, then initiates a full stop as the signal spikes::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
CO: Huge spike in signal, captain.  I'd say we're nearly right on top of it.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Let’s not run it over... slow and go slightly beyond it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain suggest we come to all stop and I can deploy the static warp bubbles to disrupt their cloak.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  If you can get a lock, beam on the container.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
CO: aye, holding station.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  As we pass, use tachyon.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: Aye

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Aye.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::attempts to lock onto the container::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::floods space surrounding them with tachyon emissions::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::uses the radiation surrounding it as a guide to find it::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::trying to keep up with the experienced bridge officers::

Host Toros says:
ACTION: A mysterious "hail" is received...

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO: Weapons status of the ship?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain I am not getting anything. We can try supercharging the particles around us to depolarize the magnetic alignment fields on their nullifier cores. It should make them light up like a Christmas tree on sensors.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  I just want the container.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
:;answers hail:: CO: We're being hailed

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Location?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: I'm trying to pinpoint it now

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Voice only.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO:  There's something out there. Whether it has weapons and whether they are charged, I can't tell.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::looks at his peaceful and content proximity sensors display::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Two birds one stone, it might kill their cloak and give us the container.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  Then you are working in the blind and with instinct.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::puts the comm on audio::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: lifts a hand to wait, towards the CEO::

Host Toros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Federation Vessel.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::prepares to execute supercharge particles and stands by::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: This is Captain So'tsoh of the Don Johnson.  Identify yourself.

Host Toros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Leave.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: We are in Federation space under Federation orders.  On what grounds do you make the presumption to ask us to leave?

Host Toros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Federation vessel, you have been warned.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: motions for OPS to cut the link.::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  Prepare for battle.  Take us to red alert.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::cuts the comm::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Update information and send to the admiral.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO:  Aye.  ::actives red alert::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: Aye

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::makes ready for battle stations::

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::automatically switches helm to tactical mode, pre-enters maneuvers load into the helm, helm control partially slaves to tactical station inputs::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Prepare to beam container.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Once we have it, take us to warp out of the area.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Feel free to beam a tracker to them if you can.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: Still trying to get a lock

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO: Activate.

Host Toros says:
ACTION: A single torpedo launched from the suspected location of the warbird appears on sensors.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::stops in mid-sentence and activates the dish::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO:  Torpedo incoming!

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO: Fire

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Evasive maneuvers.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::instinctively engages an evasive pattern::

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::fires::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::reinforces shields with auxiliary power in direction of torpedo::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
:;attempts to beam the container over::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: Power to shields.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: Yes Ma'am ::routes power to the shields::

Host Toros says:
ACTION: The torpedo explodes in close proximity to the Don Johnson causing minimal damage.  

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  You are going to have to play with shields carefully if we are to beam that aboard.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::fights to keep the DJ true as she is kicked around by the explosion::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO: Prepare to fire on vessel.  After all, they attacked first.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::increases more power to the dish and balances the power demands throughout the ship::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::working hurriedly:: CO: I'm well aware of that...

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO:  Coordinates are locked.  Weapons are fully charged.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain, I think I got a lock on the warbird.

FCO_LT_Quinn says:
::lets the tactical computer tell the helm computer where to go::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Send the data to tactical

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::sends possible location coordinates over to tactical::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO: Fire when ready.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: If I am right you need to hit the coordinates I am sending you in sequence.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
TO: It should disrupt their cloak and their shield emitters at the same time so they can't bring them up.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
::Makes the adjustments::  CO:  Firing phasers now.    ::fires a concentrated burst::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::prepares to simultaneously drop shields and beam the container aboard at a moment’s notice::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  Cripple, do not destroy.

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO:  I’m kind of firing blind here Ma'am.  :

Host Toros says:
ACTION: A Romulan warbird decloaks and raises shields with minimal damage.

Host Toros says:
COMM: Don Johnson: Hailing...

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks with a lifted brow at Donovan::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: We're being hailed

TO_Ens_Trois says:
CO: Minimal damage to the Warbird.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Open comms, voice only.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::opens voice only comm::
