Mission Summary 11409.18

Ten minutes have passed.  The away team comprised of the XO, CTO, OPS, and EO have finished surveying the area and are milling about.

Four Ferengi D'Kora-class Marauders previously engaged in hostilities with the USS Don Johnson are now enroute to the depot and are 10 minutes from arrival.

The USS Telemacus is hailing.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@XO: We have enough explosives on the shuttle to destroy this place.  I'm going to head back and see if I can transport them into place.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::nods at the CTO:: OPS/EO: Make it quick, see if you can get into this computer system and get what information you can.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Walking around the ship, a face of patience, but far from feeling that.  As the call comes through, she moves toward comm and slightly nods to Mahaffey to open.::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@XO: I'm looking for a working console. ::takes a deep breath and heads to the nearest one::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
::At his post, monitoring the Ferengi vessels on sensors.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::leaves the rest of the team and quickly works his way out of the building::

Host Toros says:
ACTION: The lead Ferengi vessel launches a long range torpedo that will hit the station in 30 seconds.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ ::finds a nearby console and tried to fire it up::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::on the bridge monitoring the engineering station with great curiosity::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::follows the OPS officer to the console::

Host Toros says:
<OPS_Mahaffey> CO: Channel open.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ XO: This is console 13287-23...it seems determined not to let me know any more than that. ::frustrated::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::running from the building to the shuttle::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Telemacus:  This is Captain So`tsoh.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ ::begins attempting to decipher the control blocks that are in place on the console, using his patented recursive fractal based algorithm::

Host CO_Capt_Latigid says:
COMM: Don Johnson: This is Captain Latigid of the USS Telemacus.  There are four Ferengi warships on an intercept course to protect their station.  I suggest you recall your away team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::arrives on bridge::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns slightly and nods toward Telarus to take his station.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::feeling uneasy as he reaches the shuttle and throws open the hatch::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@OPS: Any luck? I don’t imagine we’re going to have a lot of time.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ XO: The short version? No.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Latigid:  What were your orders?

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::glances over at the tac station:: CO: Captain, there is a red dot moving towards a green dot!

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::engages console::

Host CO_Capt_Latigid says:
ACTION: The torpedo misses but hits directly where the CTO was walking throwing him into the safety of the shuttle but causing serious tremors in the subterranean station.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ ::feels the tremors::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::taps his commbadge::  *XO*:  We're under fire out here.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: it disappeared now!

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Turns slightly to look at Arion then back.::  CSO:  From where to where?

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::feels the tremors:: OPS: Alright, we’re done here. Unfortunately. ::steps back:: *CTO*: I felt it. Beam us to the shuttle, beam the explosives into the station and set the timers. Let’s get out of here.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::begins powering up the shuttle::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain I am having all my stations make ready.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ XO: Regardless of what the ship says, we don't have much time here. ::takes a quick scan:: This place is on the verge of collapse.

Host CO_Capt_Latigid says:
COMM: So`tsoh: Our orders are different than yours, we cannot interfere.  You need to get your team back ... now.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ ::follows:: I concur.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Prepare for some fast moving in.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Take us toward the station.

@::programs the transporter::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::taps his commbadge again:: *CO*: Captain, this is the XO. Red.

Host CO_Capt_Latigid says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: Aye Captain, I show the Ferengi only 3 minutes out from the station they will get there before us.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM:  Latigid:  My understanding was you were to assist us.  Don Johnson out.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@*XO*:  Hang on tight. ::initiates transport::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::walks over to the bodies of the two tactical officers, pulling the commbadges off just before he disappears::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Contact the away team.  Inform them to get out of there with whatever they have.  We can come back later.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: One of the Ferengi vessels has fired on the station, but missed.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
<OPS_Ens_Mahaffey> CO: Aye.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*XO*:  We are heading your way.  We are only a few minutes ahead of the Ferengi.  Can you get out of there or do you need transport?

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
<OPS_Ens_Mahaffey> ::opens the channel to the away team::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO:  Take us to maximum warp.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO:  Prepare to beam the away team aboard.

Host CO_Capt_Latigid says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: Captain? We're inside a solar system, do you want me to disengage our approach to the planet?

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::materializes along with the EO and OPS on the shuttle, moving to his seat:: *CO*: Just hold them off until we get up into orbit and we’ll make it! We’re powering up now, Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::moves from the pilot seat and begins loading the explosives into the transporter::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: I have damage control at the ready. Engines are on hot.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ ::takes the secondary flight control seat::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CEO: Can we divert some secondary systems to boost Transporters?

Host CO_Capt_Latigid says:
ACTION: All four Marauders arrive to their destination taking up an offensive formation heading toward the Don Johnson.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: Aye, sir. I've acquired their signatures.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Yes.  You know the maneuver.

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
#::initiates his emergency call to Telarus:: Self: That half a pound of flesh better answer...

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
All:  Our goal is to get in and out with our people and the least amount of damage.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@XO:  The ship could take this place out in one shot.  I’m going to need a few minutes to set the explosives up.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::closes the channel, taking the other seat by the OPS, lifting the shuttle off::

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
<aFCO_Montana> ::nods:: CO: Aye Captain, standing by.  Ferengi Marauders inbound, within weapons range in a few moments..

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain I have an encoded transmission coming in...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::moving about the shuttle as he prepares to transport the explosives into place::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  Prepare to get their attention.  Draw them to us.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@CTO: Understood. I’ll add some to the firepower while you set those up. ::activates the transporters, placing the bodies of the two tactical officers into the pattern buffer so the CTO can beam the explosives out::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  From who?  :: glances at him.::  what does it say?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: It's him.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*XO*:  Get out of there now...  I would hate to inform the admiral I lost my first officer on our first mission.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::double checks his calculations before initiating transport of the explosives into the base::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::launches the micro torpedoes at the station as the shuttle lifts off, beginning a strafing run over the station as the explosives dematerialize::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO:  Do you have a lock on them?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@XO:  Arming them now...  ::moves his fingers rapidly over a padd::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: should I answer it?

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
ACTION: The Ferengi engage the Don Johnson shaking the ship violently taking the shields down to 44% completing their first pass.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: Yes, sir.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  More power to the shields.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@XO:  Ready to detonate as soon as we're safely clear.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Take us outward, draw them away from the planet.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO:  Return fire.

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
#::initiates his call again:: Self: Damn him.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: request permission to man tactical?

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: All the commotion is making it difficult to keep hold of them, though.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::sets course to the Don Johnson:: CTO: Hit it.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@*CO*: Coming in hot, Captain, have the shuttle bay ready to receive!

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::initiates a message:: COMM: Khandari: Stand by ::in text::

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
<aFCO_Montana> ::nods quietly:: CO: Aye Captain... I thought we were going to beam the away team up? ::modifies their course away from the planet::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks to the counselor with a lifted brow and noting his past history, nods her head.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::presses the big red button::  XO:  Two seconds.

::mans tactical:: CSO: Scan the ship for potential weaknesses

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Yes....

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@XO:  One

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
#::sees the message and is infuriated responding by text:: CEO: You have failed, and will be destroyed.  The lives of everyone onboard your vessel are yours.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ XO: Commander, not that it matters now, but when we first entered the facility, I was able to record the gibberish coming out of his console before being locked out. I may be able to decrypt it...later.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@XO:  Now.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  They want us to draw them away.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::puts it on screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@::looks at his sensors, hoping to see the station blow up::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::charges phaser to full and prepares rapid short bursts to bring down the targets shields, and prepares to follow with 3 torpedoes::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks at the message::  CEO:  Let us prove him wrong.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO:  Where are they?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain, I'd like you to meet Commander Khandari of Section 31

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::emotionally numb::

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
ACTION: There is an enormous explosion from the planet's surface as the shuttle speeds away that can be visible from orbit.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: I will gladly prove him wrong.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::Scans the ship for weaknesses::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow and then looks at the explosion on the screen.::  CSO:  Ensign?

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: They are leaving the planet's surface. There's been an explosion at the station.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
@ ::looks through the view screen at the explosion::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@OPS: Good job, Lieutenant. That's your project when we get back to the ship then.  ::brings the shuttle to full impulse, heading straight for the aft end of the ship::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO:  Good...

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
#:: is stunned to find himself on screen:: COMM: CEO: What is the meaning of this?

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::targets the port nacelle of the opposing ship:: CO: captain, Ready on your command

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM:  Khandari:  That is a good question.  I would like the answers myself.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Coordinate with science and the shuttle and get them aboard.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
@ALL: Hang on, this is going to be rough. ::aims straight at the shuttle bay:: *CO*: As soon as we hit, get to warp! You’re not looking too good! 

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
COMM: Khandari: You have exhausted your last bit of good will I had for you. You knew that this was suicide.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Align us to take the shuttle in.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*shuttle bay*:  Prepare for an emergency landing.  Open doors and prepare to close them as soon as the shuttle arrives.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Once we have them, get us out of here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
COMM: Khandari: We're coming for you.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS:  Target practice is yours.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
@::sitting perfectly still::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: The shuttle appears to be heading our way to top speed, sir. I'm keeping track of them, but I think they'll make it before the Ferengi come around again.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::activates the firing sequence he programmed firing short bursts rapidly and immediately following 3 torpedoes fire in a spread::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO:  Keep your finger on that button just in case.  The admiral may not be happy with us, but we can replace a shuttle.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: Always!

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
ACTION: The shuttle bay dampening field was setup by some cunning Lieutenants standing watch there and the shuttle comes to a hard but safe landing within the Don Johnson as the bay doors start to close.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: Shuttle aboard, sir!

Host Cmdr_Khandari says:
@:: growls:: COMM: Don Johnson: What have you done!?  ::ends the comm as the four ferengi marauders resume their attack run on the Don Johnson::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::clasps the CTO and OPS officers on the shoulders as they come to rest:: CTO/OPS: Good job, both of you.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
 ::unbelts himself:: XO/CTO: What's that  saying about "Home"? ::wide grin::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CNS: Ensign fire at these coordinates should help buy us some time. ::targets the auxiliary gravity control behind the deflectors::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::nods at OPS as he loosens his restraints::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::disembarks and heads for the bridge::

Host Toros says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: We have them aboard Captain, Here come the Ferengi.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Get us out of here.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::sets a full phaser burst at the location mentioned by the CEO and Fires::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::embeds a tracker packet before the transmission carrier fades and disconnects::

Host Toros says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: Aye sir! ::initiates the warp engines as the Don Johnson swiftly departs the system with no sign of pursuit::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: as she watches the screen.::  *XO*:  Commander, status?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::stands::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::activates the post-flight shutdown sequence:: *CO*: We’re aboard, Commander. On our way to the bridge. OPS: Get whatever you can out of that data. ALL: Again, great job everyone!

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::strides out of the shuttle on his way to the bridge::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::disengages the weapons to give more power to engines::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
XO: Will do.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO:  What is the ferengi ship doing?

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: Sir, it appears the Telemacus has engaged the Ferengi.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks toward Arion::  CNS: Did you pick up anything mentally?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::balances minor system damage and power distribution::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aOPS:  Contact the admiral and inform him of the current status.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::arrives at the turbo lift::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::remains in the shuttle bay helping to secure the shuttle and contents::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aOPS:  Contact the Telemacus.  Ask them if they need assistance.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::steps into the lift with the OPS:: TL: Bridge.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: they are battle hungry 

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Bring the ship to a stop.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS: I would too if someone just destroyed my station.  I am assuming the station is destroyed?  ::looks toward Kastellan for an answer.::

Host Toros says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: All stop aye. ::brings the ship to a stop::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::escorting the weapons back to the armoury::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: no major damage to report, securing from battle stations.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CEO: we should probably remain at battle stations

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO: Set a course to take us back.  We could not handle four ships on our own, but two starships should be able to.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::assumes everything is under control up there on the bridge::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: simply nods at both gentlemen as she waits for a report from science, the return of her first officer to the bridge and an answer from Telemacus::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::steps out of the lift as it arrives on the bridge::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:

CO: Captain, wanna go to Red alert?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Try to contact Telemacus.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::allows himself an unguarded moment as he rides in a turbo lift::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::Scans the battle zone::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: Aye.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::hails the Telemacus::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Take us in.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::Steps out onto the bridge, taking in the scene::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::realizes everything is not under control on the bridge::

Host Toros says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: Aye Captain.  ::turns the ship on its heels and engages maximum warp:: 

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::intership comms:: *ALL* All hands to battle stations, Red Alert!

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CO: We didn’t get much in the way of information out of the station, but the station is no more.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
XO:  The Telemacus came to our aide... in an odd way. They are outnumbered.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
All: Resuming battle stations, shields recharged to 61 percent.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::redirects the TL still full of phaser rifles to the bridge:

Host Toros says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: ETA 1 minute Captain, we were not that far out.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
All:  I prefer to be invited, but...

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CNS*:  As soon as we are in range, fire.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::nods:: CO/CNS: Let’s give them the backup they deserve then!

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: They're not responding to hails captain

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CNS: Ensign what are we looking at?

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::raises shields to full and charges weapons to full::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::transfers auxiliary power to forward shields::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CSO: can you confirm the readout, 4 Ferengi ships and the Telemacus?

Host Toros says:
ACTION: As the USS Don Johnson warps back into the system a badly crippled Telemacus appears on the main viewer still fighting for its survival as four Ferengi warships with minor damage circle like vultures with unceasing weapons fire.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
*CTO*:  You are needed on the bridge.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::arrives on the bridge.  Pulls a bundle from the lift and stops to take in the situation::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::is standing at the tactical station::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: My sensors confirm, sir.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::Locks on to the lead ferengi ship::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CTO: Did you bring enough weapons? ::looks in the lift as it opens::

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
aFCO: Move us between those ships and the Telemacus.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: The Telemacus is not doing well. She's pretty crippled, but still trying to keep the Ferengi at bay. They seem to have minor damage.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
OPS:  You never know when you might need to kill somebody.  ::glances briefly at the CEO::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::does not notice CTO on the bridge::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO:  let us see what we can do.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::glances at the CEO::

Host Toros says:
<aFCO_Montana> ::swallows hard:: CO: Aye sir.  Engaging at full impulse.  ::secures the warp engines and initiates the impulse engines toward the enemy::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::takes the secondary tactical console::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: I’m locked on

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS:  Fire

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::Fires phasers in the same rapid short bursts pattern at the lead ship::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::increases power to tactical sensors::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::follows with a three torpedo spread::

Host Toros says:
ACTION: One Ferengi Marauder is destroyed by the heavy weapons fire inflicted by the USS Don Johnson while the other three break their circular formation to regroup.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CNS:  Nice shooting.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS/CTO:  Do not let up.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
::steps to a side console:: COMM: Telemacus: Get out of the system. Go to warp.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CEO: Telarus. Please quit screwing with power allocations. That's my department.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Is the Telemacus unable to respond?  Inform them to get out of here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CNS: Removing safeties, increase recharge rate. Main power at 105 percent tolerance.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CNS:  You're in the zone.  Trust your instincts. ::attends to his own terminal looking over the damage reports on the Ferengi ship::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::continues firing, trying different patterns that he learned from a family friend in his past::

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: My guess is that they're occupied. I'll send the message on.

Host Capt_Latigid says:
@COMM: Don Johnson: This is Captain Latigid of the Telemacus.  We can do more together.  We may be heavily damaged, but there's still fight in us left. CTO: Arm all remaining forward photon torpedo bays and prepare to return fire!

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::waits::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: It's a balancing act.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CSO: Scan those Ferengi ships. Any human life signs? Any Starfleet commbadge signals?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO/CTO/CNS:  Coordinate.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::just stares at Telarus before resuming his job::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
XO: what are you thinking?

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::arms the forward torpedoes, remotely sets next 3 to high yield::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CNS:  You got this.

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
CO: I'm detecting human signatures, but no comm badges, sir.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CEO: That something fishy is going on with the Ferengi and Section 31.

XO_LtCmdr_Robertson says:
CSO: Lock onto the human life signs and the moment those shields drop, beam the humans to the brig. Commander Tamaste would love an interrogation.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CSO: Can you get me any other information?  I would dislike killing one of our own.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::Fires at the engineering section of the Ferengi ship::

Host Capt_Latigid says:
ACTION: The Ferengi Marauders begin their attack run on the two Starfleet ships.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::watches dispassionately::

CSO_Ens_Kastellan says:
XO: Acquiring their signatures, sir.

Host Capt_Latigid says:
ACTION: One of the Ferengi ships is destroyed and the other two are heavily damaged and break their attack.  The Don Johnson is hit knocking their shields down to 14% minimal hull damage.  The Telemacus is hit, their shields are down with life support failing.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CNS:  I think you nearly got them on the run.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::attempts to lock a tractor beam on the fourth::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Watching the screen::  OPS:  Get a damage report from the Telemacus.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Bring us to a stop.

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
CO: I'll take care of it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO/XO: The Telemacus is critical. Our shields are down to 14 percent. Recommend engaging a power transfer.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS:  Cease fire for the moment.

Host Capt_Latigid says:
ACTION: The third and fourth Ferengi ship break off their attack and retreat.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::holds fire::

Host Capt_Latigid says:
<aFCO_Montana> ::stops the engines within close proximity of the Telemacus sighing deeply:: CO: Gladly ma'am...

OPS_LtJg_Donovan says:
::sends a communication to the Telemacus' operations officer requesting their damage report::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::nods in approval::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  Prepare a team to beam over.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CSO: scan the Telemacus and be sure they are not at a breach

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
