“Season Finale Turbulence”

Mission Summary 11501.08:

The USS Don Johnson has heroically returned from Megara IV with the crew of the USS Rhadey.  All personnel have been accounted for and have disembarked from the ship.

Time lapse was 10 days, and it has been 4 days since the Don Johnson has returned to the Starbase.  Supplies are being transferred and systems are undergoing minor repairs.

The crew is mostly ship board as limited leave and liberty aboard the station have been granted while the Klingon "Rabak" is still at large.

@:: Standing in the docking bay, talking with the supply officer.::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::walking on the promenade::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::in the armoury::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::feels like the only one on the bridge::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::meditating in his quarters quietly......knowing something will likely interrupt him sooner or later::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::stops for a moment and decides to walk into the Officer's Lounge::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::chatting with his boys and getting caught up on things::

Host Cmdr_Douglas says:
@::walks over to where the CO is standing:: CO: Captain So`tsoh. ::extends his hand::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::having looked over and over everything that needed looking over, takes a seat::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Finishing her discussion with the supply officer, she nods her thanks and turns toward the captain of the Rhadey.  Lifting her hand in the Vulcan salute of greeting, she replies::  Cmdr.:  Captain.  Is your crew settled then?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::sits down and orders a drink, begins to people watch::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::reaches out to sense the emotions of the crew passively::

Host Cmdr_Douglas says:
@::raises his hand in response:: CO: They are glad to be home.  Starfleet is planning on reassigning us to a new ship soon, in the meantime we are supplementing the Starbase staff here.  There's always plenty to do, as you know.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
~~~::pushes back an intrusion::~~~

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: she nodded her head:: Cmdr.:  I hope that it is soon.  It is regrettable they are mothballing yours.  :: she started to say on the good side his new ship will probably be an upgrade.  But an upgrade was not what always mattered.::  If you have need of us and we are in the vicinity, please contact me.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::checks in with Engineering:: *EO*: Engineering, report.

Host Cmdr_Douglas says:
@::shakes his head:: CO: Excuse me Captain, you are thinking of Captain Latigid's ship, the Telemacus.  My ship, the Rhadey was destroyed in combat.  

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::ends the meditating:: *CTO* Cmdr, is everything alright?

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
<EO_Steele> *CEO*: We are still refueling our deuterium storage. Supplies are being received, and our level one diagnostic is still in progress. We should complete it shortly and ready to fire up the core after our injector swap out. Plasma tanks are being cycled.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::growls::  *CNS*:  Everything's just peachy.  What can I do for you, Counsellor?

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::walks over to the captain’s ready room, and finding it unlocked, and unoccupied, takes advantage of the special replicator and orders himself a Cherry Limeade.::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
*CTO* just making some rounds ::writes a reminder to himself to have two extra appointments with the CTO::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: pauses in thought with a mental frown that she had mixed them up.::  Cmdr.:  My apologies in mixing up the ship names.

Host Cmdr_Douglas says:
@::shakes his head:: CO: Think nothing of it.  What they did to Captain Latigid was a travesty.  They could have easily repaired her.  The good Captain needs to know when to rub the right elbows.  A bit rough around the edges he is.  I hear that Rabak is still missing.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::leaves his quarters heading for engineering::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::annoyed that he let his defenses drop::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ Cmdr.:  That would probably be good advice for myself.  I have become... rusty around the edges.  :: Is reminded of the Admiral's response to them.::  As for Rabak, that is not too surprising.  He may be considered insane, but insane does not mean un-intelligent in keeping himself safe from us... for now.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::finishes up his business::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::diverts unexpectedly and heads to the armory::

Host Cmdr_Douglas says:
@::nods and feels the station shudder:: 

Host Cmdr_Douglas says:
ACTION: The entire station shudders as a call comes over the PA systems across the entire station.  All Hands, Red Alert, this is not a drill.  Klingon battle fleet on approach.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::jumps to his feet as he had the station feed piped through his console::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ Self: Damn it!

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@ :: taps her commbadge.::  *OPS*:  Recall all crew to the ship.  *FCO*: Prepare to launch.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ ::runs to docking bridge to the ship::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
*CO*: Aye captain.

Host Cmdr_Douglas says:
@::raises his eyebrows and nods to the CO:: CO: Fair winds...

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
@Cmdr.:  Live long and prosper... :: turns to head up the ramp into her ship.::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::Taps commbadge:: *bridge*: Can you raise the starbase, I sense panic

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::sends out a crew-wide communique to all of the crew to report to battle stations::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::heads to the bridge::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
*CO*: Aye captain.. ::arrives on the bridge and takes the helm::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Checking in, she quickly enters her ship and heads for the nearest lift.  Stepping in she orders it to the bridge.::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
*CNS*: The crew is on its way back

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::watches CTO come running out the armory heading to the bridge, CNS follows CTO::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: As the lift stop and the doors open, she pauses that instant before stepping onto the bridge and heading for the center chair.::  Tactical:  Report.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::tosses a glare at the CNS as he enters a TL::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ *EO*: Cancel all liberty for the department, Red Alert! Cancel the diagnostic and initiate hot sequence for core start-up.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::glares back:: CTO: problem?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
FCO: As soon as you get clearance, prepare to take us out.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::nods and works her panel vigorously:: *Engineering*: Engineering, Bridge, we need main power online, NOW!.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
<TO_Keli>CO: It sounds like we're under attack!

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Captain, last I checked, the Klingons were out allies. Have they all gone insane?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
TO: Klingon...  how many and where are they coming from?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::ignores the CNS and waits for the TL to come to a stop::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
@ Computer: Lieutenant Commander David Telarus, Chief Engineering Officer, Telarus 11 Alpha. Authorization to come aboard. ::waits for doors to open::

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

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::doors open and runs to TL:: TL: Main Engineering

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
<TO_Keli>::activates red alert::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::taps her commbadge:: *CEO*: Commander Telarus, what is the status of the warp core?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  That is an interesting question.  See if you can contact their high command.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::emerges onto the bridge::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: I'll do the best I can.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::arrives right behind the CTO::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
*aFCO*: The drive is spinning up now, it was offline for maintenance while we were docked.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CO: Captain, I cannot clear all moorings or disconnect umbilicals until Main Engineering confirms main power is online.  *CEO*: Aye sir, ETA to being able to disembark?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: turns slightly::  CTO:  The station is under attack from a group of Klingon vessels.  We are without sensors.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::initiates the long range subspace array and attempts to contact the Klingon high command::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::takes the tactical station::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::walks off TL in to Main Engineering:: Engineering: What's our progress on the core people, we are on the clock, this is not a drill.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: The Don Johnson feels another shudder from the pylons they are attached to.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::initiates umbilical separation from the station::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO: Use the emergency release.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  We're ready for them.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
*CO*: Captain I am disconnecting us from the station we are 26 percent main power, secondary and emergency power are online. The core is in a hot start-up sequence.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::checking weapon status::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::contacts station operations and informs them of the emergency operation::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CTO: Commander, I will reroute power from the impulse engines until Engineering brings the warp core online.  Diverting power now.  OPS: You don't mind, do you? You're on the phone.  ::winks and executes::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
FCO: Have at it.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::sits and the tertiary command station by the captain and pulls up a tactical read-out to scan for the Klingon ships and reaches out with his psionics to confirms someone is out there::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CTO: You should at least have short range sensors to see what's outside those doors ::points to the bay blast doors that are still shut::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO: As soon as we released, turn us to face the incoming vessels.  Take us away from the station 10 clicks.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
aFCO:  Thanks.  ::checks sensor status::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
EO_Steele: Bring the main deflector online, override the power safeties. Re-route power through the secondary relays and start pooling power through the batteries. Take us to 110 percent over standard on the fusion reactors.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::reroutes sensors to link with the stations sensors to boost short range sensor readings beyond the blast doors::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::scans the area indicated by Montana::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
<EO_Steele> CEO: Aye sir executing.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: we have a lot of blood thirsty Klingons out there

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Lifts a brow as she looks at the counselor.::  CNS:  Are they sane?  Can you tell if they are drugged or being controlled?  ::it was a long shot, but none of this made sense.::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CNS: Can you tell if they are sick or something? Maybe exposed to a contagion or something? I'm on hold with KH command. It's Klingon Muzak.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  Fifteen ships.  Coming in hot.  We've seen two of them before.  None of them are registered with the Klingon government.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::opens up anti-matter injectors::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Now they're saying they have no idea what’s going on.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO/CTO: too much interference, we have to leave the station or at least be close to the door

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Klingon High Command that is.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods::  OPS:  Contact the station... ask where they would like us placed.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Aye.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::initiates maneuvering thrusters and signals Starbase Operations to open the bay doors:: CO: We are underway Captain.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Our job is to protect this station.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::contacts station operations and asks them where they want the Don Johnson positioned for the attack::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::checks the station sensors to make sure the Klingons are not positioned to ambush us outside the doors::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  Yes Ma'am.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: The view screen shows the blast doors opening... Suddenly a Federation shuttle craft crashes through it exploding, but it does not hinder the open cycle of the doors.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::adjusting targeting scanners::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
Science:  If anyone is alive from that shuttle, beam them to medical.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: We have 82 percent main power, the rest is coming and warming up.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: They station appears to be panicked. They told us to go 'outside'.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
<VADM_D`Sorot> ::hails the Don Johnson from Starbase 320 central operations::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::running an analysis of the capabilities of each of the incoming ships::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  As we are working on that... :: shakes her head.::  Contact the other starships... :: pauses as the hail comes through and waits.::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Captain, the VADM is hailing. On screen. ::puts it on screen::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  Permission to return fire.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CO: ETA to space doors, 1 minute Captain.  ::continues to work her console::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Looks up at the screen and nods to the admiral.::  OPS: Shut down all nonessential areas and reroute power to shields and weapons.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: I'm on it.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::looking for patterns in the attack::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  As soon as we are out, yes.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::reroutes power as instructed, then tries to raise the other ships::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
<VADM_D`Sorot> COMM: CO_Cmd_So`tsoh: Captain So`tsoh, it has been an honor serving with you.  You must stop Rabak at all costs.  If you are unsuccessful, Starbase 320 will be destroyed.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO: Coordinate with Commander Tamaste.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
All: Clearing space doors! ::initiates full impulse::  CTO: Three ships, coming in hot on the Port Quarter... Taking evasive action!

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Fire at your discretion.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::targets the lead ship and fires phasers::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: As the Don Johnson clears the space doors heavy damage is detected on the Starbase exterior... Starfleet is losing this fight if more of the ships berthed at the Starbase do not reanimate in time.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: simply nods at the admiral::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Contact as many of the other ships as you can...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::continues firing determined to take as many down with them as they can::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  We need to give the other ships a chance to leave the station.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Still no response from the other ships.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::takes an aggressive maneuver toward the lead ship allowing the different phaser arrays an opportunity to be in scope:: CTO: How's that?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: nods to Donovan::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS:  Any insight would be valuable.

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::notices power drain, tries to adjust for power values still coming up::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::recalls that he was a dead man anyway.  Strengthens his resolve.  Continues firing::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::pilots the ship past the first wave and toward the second wave:: CTO: We are head on to three ships, on approach.  *CEO*: The inertial dampeners are making me queasy. OPS: do you feel queasy?

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::eyes open and looks at the confusion:: CO: my apologies I blanked out there for a moment

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  See if you have any luck contacting the attacking Klingons... see if you can find out why they are attacking us.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::figures he can take all three at once despite the odds::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
FCO: Queasy? No. Cast iron stomach.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: insight... let’s not get blown up!

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Her eyes show concern for the counselor.::  CNS:  It was not long.  We are out.  What can you tell me?

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::hails the lead Klingon ship::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::takes a few deep breaths and rolls the ship to evade some inbound fire while keeping their trajectory::

CEO_Lt_Cmdr_Telarus says:
::cycles the field coil drivers:: *aFCO*: They are resetting now, it should adjust out in a moment.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::has a smirky quarky grin on his face::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::fires photon torpedoes::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS:  You said if we cleared the station, you might be able to ascertain the mental state of the attacking Klingons...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  The bloodlust is on them.  ::resumes phaser fire::

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
::checks the sensors to see the lead Klingon ship, he focuses his abilities to ascertain the vision of the helmsman of the leading Klingon ship::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: One Klingon ship is destroyed and four are badly damaged as the USS Don Johnson comes around to take another pass during a slower than usual weapons recharge cycle.  Several smaller ships can be seen disembarking from the main docking bay the Don Johnson emerged from and join the fight.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: The Klingon's appear to be regrouping with what is left of their forces...

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  They are pulling back

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Push them....

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  Readying another attack most likely.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: captain, It is a good day for them to die!

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  If at all possible, I want at least one alive... I want answers.  But not at the risk of the ship or station.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CNS:  And why would that be?  I want answers.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::signals the transporter room to take prisoners the minute a Klingon ship's shields come down::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: You should be able to contact our ships... have them spread out to create a grid.

CNS_ENS_Suder_Arion says:
CO: Honor, or none is my only conclusion

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: I've been in contact with them, they're in disarray and will benefit from leadership.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::contacts the other ships and relays the orders::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
*CEO*:  We need our shields back.  What are you doing down there?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: simply raises an eyebrow at the counselor before turning back to the screen.::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS: As soon as they are in position... on my order, we go forward, full weapons blazing.
