Mission Summary 11501.15

Time Lapse is 10 minutes, the Klingons can be seen milling about while they reorganize and strengthen their fleet.

The USS Don Johnson is the senior and superior ship departed from the docks of Starbase 320 as the rest were either damaged or in a state not conducive to space flight.

Two Akira class cruisers flanks the Don Johnson as three ships stand 50,000km from 3 damaged and 11 fully powered, determined Klingon warships in defense of Starbase 320.

Admiral D'Sorot has ordered all non-Starfleet personnel to escape pods and to evacuate the station.

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

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::not liking the odds::  CO: Looks to me like they are making repairs, same as us.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: On the bridge, waiting along with the others as the other ships move into a position of a grid.::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::feels nervous:: OPS: Do you . Do you think we can win?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::arrives on the Bridge:: CO: Captain we have main power at 100 percent and all systems are reporting ready to go.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO: Are the other ships in place?  Do you have contact with all their CTO's?

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Captain, we haven't taken much damage - yet. I was looking at one model the computer came up with. FCO: No. CO: That’s the short answer. It isn't realistic for one ship to take on so many.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::activates his station::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  We're all tied together and waiting on your command.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Try one last time to make some kind of contact.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Have all ships prepare to fire on my command.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Aye. ::tries to raise the insane Klingons::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO: I want a flower pattern once we start firing.

Host Rabak says:
@::responds to the hail from the Don Johnson::

Host Rabak says:
<aFCO_Montana> CO: Aye Captain.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::relays the message to the two Akiras::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::monitors secondary power and checks other systems, waiting for the hair trigger to go off::

Host Rabak says:
@::appears on the Don Johnson view screen:: COMM: Don Johnson: I recognize you... Vulcan.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Rabak:  Then that will save us time. We are trying to understand why you attacked and would like to work whatever it is out.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::running battle simulations while the Cap'n stalls them::

Host Rabak says:
@::sneers and remains very still:: COMM: CO: You will surrender, or perish in glorious battle.  What is your choice?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM:  Might we be informed why we are in battle?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::frowning at the tactical console::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Opens her shields slightly, something she rarely did, but surprise was their only ace::.~~~~ CTO: Are you ready?  We get one chance at surprise.~~~~

Host Rabak says:
@::raises an eyebrow:: COMM: CO: Perhaps you are not aware of our mission, which is to bring glory back to the Klingon Empire while cowards such at Mor'tok would prefer PEACE over war! ::appears to nearly stand out of his chair with rage then sits down:: COMM: CO: Does this mean you are ready to die for your cause?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::momentarily startled:: ~~~CO:  Target?~~~

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Rabak... as he seems to desire death.~~~~

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM:  Rabak:  Most regrettable...

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
~~~~ CTO:  Fire when ready... all ships at once.~~~~

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::relays the orders to the Akiras::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Motions OPS to cut transmission....::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
~~~CO:  As soon as we're in range.~~~

Host Rabak says:
@COMM: CO: Not for those which are worth of Stovakor!

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::cuts the comm::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Maximum warp

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Clearly, this guy is insane.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::initiates warp 9:: CO: For how long?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain, may I suggest an alteration to our plan?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Within firing range of Rabak.  Once we fire, slow and move into a flower pattern, bringing us back inward.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::nods and prepares the timing:: CO: Aye Captain. CTO: Standby please... 15 seconds.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: If we are to use a short warp jump, I also suggest rigging some of our sensor probes to look like a lot of us just dropped out of warp and were shadowing our sensor signature to expand into multiple signatures.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: a brief thought passes through her mind of how this would be the ideal situation for her ex-XO... but she does not dwell on it beyond that moment.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::nods at Montana and coordinates with the other Starfleet ships::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  If you can do it in 15 seconds...

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CTO: 10 seconds... 9... 8... ::prepares to come to an emergency stop::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::loads the probes he can into the launchers:: CO: Uploading warp signatures to the probes.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
FCO:  Ready

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::looks at progress bar at speeding along::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: The Don Johnson drops out of warp a few hundred kilometers from the enemy formation just off the port quarter of the lead ship suspected to be commanded by Rabak.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::launches 5 probes from the aft tubes when they drop out::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::initiates phaser fire::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::pilots the Don Johnson at full impulse trying to steady their approach for accurate fire::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::starts communicating with probes into an attack pattern with the formation::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CTO / OPS: Shield power stream holding, diverting emergency power to shields and weapons to compensate for extra charge stress.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: The Don Johnson lands several good shots and disables two enemy ships.  However a shockwave is felt throughout the ship that is more than phaser or torpedo fire.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CEO: What are you talking about? We're in battle. I can take care of power allocations. Kind of my entire job in this scenario.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  One of the Akiras is down.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::rolls the ship to Starboard:: OPS/CEO: Will one of you tell me what that was?? The IDF is at full power during evasive maneuvers... ::grunts and rolls the ship to port.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::tries to identify the energy::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::hears the CTO and is saddened::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
FCO: Trying to identify it now

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Have them head back to the station for now... they can guard.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::continues coordinating the attack with the remaining Akira::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: I think they locked up can you check the power conduits going to those emitters.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::sends the order out::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CEO: What?

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::starts receiving reports from Engineering::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Keep firing... we need that ship out of play.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::prepares another attack run and puts the enemy ships on screen:: CTO: They seem...scrambled.  ::points:: CTO: Is that the ship you want to target?

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  What caused that shockwave.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Montana is having issues with the IDF, it's making her maneuvering stiff.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  Aye.  We're loading aft torpedo launchers after someone waylaid them.  ::frowns ferociously::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::looks a bit closer at the inertial dampeners::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Checking right now, getting reports from my department.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::coordinates the next attack run with the helm and Akira::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: The Yobwoc...Captain, it's gone. They lost containment and the core went critical.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::initiates::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Ma'am the shockwave currently screwing with the inertial dampeners is the wave from the warp core breach of the USS Yobwac

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Glances at Telarus, but says nothing as she looks at the screen... 500 lost.  But if they failed here, it would be thousands.::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: As the USS Don Johnson initiates its combat maneuver with the remaining Starfleet vessel the lead Klingon ship is destroyed along with the second Akira class ship.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS/CEO:  Can you compensate?

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Tying to compensate now. Maybe the engineering department should take a look

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  Just us left now, Ma'am.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
<Kor'Calay> ::hails the Don Johnson from one of the Klingon battle cruisers::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::reprograms free auxiliary circuits to back up the containment field::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::pilots the vessel between the onslaught:: 

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Working on that now Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CTO: Commander, we can take my probes out there and set their long distance micro-warp cores to breech and collision course with the remaining vessels.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::sensing a shift::  CEO:  Wait on the Captain.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CEO: I'm seeing reports of actual structural damage to field generators. Maybe you should take a look. If it were software, I could solve it. It is not, it's the actual hardware.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::rerouting power passed short circuited relays to restore normal power flow::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO: Commander, we are in battle... the CTO needs to focus on that.  I need you to find ways to keep this ship in one piece.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Ma'am, Kor`Calay is hailing us

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Working on that now.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Put it on screen.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Aye Captain.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::puts the comm onscreen::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::sends DC teams out to EPS conduits reporting down::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
<Kor'Calay> COMM: CO: You have killed Chancellor Rabak!  You will pay for your crimes and this sector will be under our control before this day is done!!

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::looks up at the screen::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
COMM: Kor'Calay:  The only crime here is the one you have committed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain we have power drains from areas all over the ship, the battle damage blew some EPS conduits.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::targets Kor'Calay's ship, determined to go out with a bang::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
<Kor'Calay> COMM: CO: You will pay with your lives!  Die a glorious death, Starfleet! ::orders all ships to converge on the Don Johnson and ends the comm::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Motion OPS to cut comm.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: Are you able to route the power from the fusion reactors, I don't have a lot of pipeline left.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::cuts the comm::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Keep us out of their center.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  Get his shields down and beam me over there.  I'll rip his heart out.  ::fires on the lead ship::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: All the Klingon ships concentrate their fire on the Don Johnson causing explosions all over the ship and turbulence that would keep a sober person from being able to stand.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Is the station clear?

Host aFCO_Montana says:
CO: Aye Captain, but there is too many of them! ::takes a 30 degree dive on the Z axis in an attempt to escape the Klingon formation::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CEO: I'm showing three percent of non-essential power available from all sources. The warp core is not a fusion reactor, nor do we have one on board.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Find us a shield.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Weapons are yours.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::panics:: CO: A what?  Shields are on board systems! ::rolls to Starboard::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
OPS: I already rerouted that non-essential power, the EPS conduits that we have remaining are working over time

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: Kor'Calay's ship takes heavy damage but their shields remain in place, the Don Johnson's shields are down and bridge consoles begin exploding one by one.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CEO: No, you didn't. I've been watching. I'm saving that three percent.

Host aFCO_Montana says:
::screams as her console explodes and she is thrown to the floor unconscious::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::throws everything they have at Kor'Calay's ship before his console explodes::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
aFCO:  Get us between them and anything other than the station... draw them away from the station.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::blown back by the explosion of his console::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Quickly moves to take flight.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::overrides safeties:: All: Routing life support to shields.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::has two EPS grids come back up from the DC teams::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::gets up::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Taking control of the ship, she flies it straight up::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO / CTO: I am piping all the power I can back to the shield grid.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::bangs his fist on the railing, then moves to the auxiliary tactical console::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
OPS:  Order all crew to the center of the ship as we cut power to nonessentials. :: pulls up a map of the area as she speaks.::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::notes that most of the bridge consoles are unusable::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::resumes firing ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::grabs a med kit and runs over to Donovan:: OPS: Lieutenant are you alright?

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Yes ma'am. 

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::leaves the kit there and runs back::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::moves to the secondary science console and issues the orders::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: As the 8 remaining Klingon ships converge on the Don Johnson the port nacelle is sheared off by the force of the attacks causing a feedback loop that shuts down main power and sets the Don Johnson adrift in a chaotic spin and near cataclysm...

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CEO: I'm bleeding like a stuck pig!

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::grimly hangs on::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
All: Rerouting power grids, shutting down port power grid to nacelle.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
*Engineering*: Shut down power grids Beta 22 and Gamma 15, reroute power to main deflector and shields grid.

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::takes what he believes are his last breaths::

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
::soaked in his own blood::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: works to get the ship out of a spin::

Host aFCO_Montana says:
ACTION: The Klingon ships determined that the Don Johnson is a loss break off their attack and head grimly toward Starbase 320.  A final distress beacon is sent from the Starbase before being completely destroyed sending a shockwave that can be felt even by the Don Johnson.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Sending power to maneuvering thrusters and impulse engines.

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
:: Seeing what is happen, she is tempted to use one of her grandfather's favorite curses.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::braces for impact and sends everything he has to the IDF and Shields::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CTO:  Options?

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
CO:  We have none.  ::leaves his post and heads to the med kit::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::nursing a dislocated shoulder::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::frantically:: Self: There has to be more, come on...

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:
CO: Captain....break it off....cut ALL power...play dead...possum.... ::falls unconscious::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO: shut down power throughout the ship... play sitting duck... not that we are not.  :: continues working with what power she has.::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
::begins triaging the wounded.  Happens on OPS::

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
CO: Captain...I know she has more.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::doesn't realize he is bleeding from his head::

CTO_Cmdr_Tamaste says:
OPS:  They'll be none of that now, Sparky.  ::begins tending OPS wounds::

Host CO_Cmd_So`tsoh says:
CEO:  The station is gone.  We did what we could to allow them to head to safety... we need to see to our crew.... not bring the Klingons back to us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::in a sad tone:: CO: Aye Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Telarus says:
::powers down all systems and leaves life support at minimum safe levels::
