Mission Summary 11608.11

As the final wave of fighters reaches the Don Johnson at the most inopportune time and land several successful blows directly on the hull, they release torpedoes unlike the previous fighters shaking the ship violently.

The USS Don Johnson has found itself under attack from an Andorian vessel posing as a cargo ship.

Several Klingon Brids of Prey have decloaked and come to the aid of the Don Johnson.
	
Seven minutes have passed since the last fighter wave has finished its attack run during which the Captain has been knocked unconscious and rushed to sickbay.

OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: Fire at will should they take another run at us. . ::hails the Klingons from his station::
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	::in main engineering, coordinating damage and repair teams::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	*CEO*: Report.
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::sits at the sensor station assigning target IDs and transferring contacts to the tactical officers::
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	OPS: Gladly, lieutenant. But we're playing hurt. We'd be smart to duck and cover. Let our apparent reinforcements clean up after us.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	FCO: Find us a place to hide if you can.
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	*OPS* several hull breaches, shields at 22%, We can't take much more of this. I'd recommend getting the heck out of here with all due haste.
	
aFCO_ens_Solaran says:
	::looking just a wee bit shaky, but gives a nod:: OPS: Aye... uh, aye sir. ::runs a nav scan for possible shelters, already veering the ship away from the majority of the combat::

ACTION: Several more cargo vessels with the same configuration warp into the disputed area.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	*CEO*: See to it that we're ready to leave post haste. Keep me informed.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	OPS: More ships inbound. They match the configuration of our friends out there.
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	*OPS* keep getting us hit like that and you won't have a ship left, operations. We're doing what we can, but we can't assess the external damage and won't be able to fully repair without spacedock. but I can do my best, if you can find us a place to hide so I can get enough repairs completed to get us home.
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::feverishly calls up extra help from the lab teams to help track and identify targets::  OPS: Trying to use our sensor array but to penetrate the hulls of those ships to see what we're in for sir, but they are badly damaged.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	FCO: Any luck finding us a way out? ::wonders why the Klingons won’t answer and hails them again:: 
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	SO: Engineering is doing the best they can, keep at it.
	
aFCO_Ens_Solaran says:	
	OPS: We might be able to take shelter in the nebula, lieutenant. But given our shield status, I can't guarantee we can do so for long. It might be useful to hide behind a safe outpost instead. ::pauses:: Assuming there is such a thing as a safe outpost.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::monitors the multiple targets as science identifies them, and brings weapons to ready... play time, it would appear, is over, for better or worse::
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	OPS: Aye sir.  *CEO*: Is there anything you can do about the sensors, Chief?  I'm really struggling at the deep penetration array.  I use the long range sensors recalibration program Luminous-4A and it's just not responding.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aFCO: Set a course for the nearest safe outpost, fastest possible speed. aCTO: Return fire if we're fired upon. All: Our Klingon 'friends' aren’t responding
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	All: Time to take some Klingons to school.
		
ACTION: The cargo bay doors open on the three inbound ships revealing waves of fighters taking formation around the vessels.
	
aFCO_Ens_Solaran says:	
	::nods once, and routes available power to impulse engines, directing the Don Johnson to the nearest hopefully allied outpost::
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	::muttering curse words:: *SO* your life or long range sensors, science. You've got what you've got without compromising primary life support engines or shields.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	OPS: Ships are launching fighters. Defensive configuration for the moment. If they're smart, they'll stay that way. I'm done asking nicely.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aFCO/aCTO: We're hobbled.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: Take as many of them out as you can.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: We only have impulse engines at the moment.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::his eyes grow cold, lips curving just slightly:: OPS: Now we're talking.
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::bangs on the panel:: *CEO*: There are more enemy ships out there than I can count!  Keep us alive, Chief, and I'll let Starfleet know we went down with a fight. ::starts dumping data into the flight recorder buoy::
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	*SO* that's what the pay me the big bucks for, science.
	
aFCO_Ens_Solaran says:	
	OPS: Outpost in 3 minutes. Friend or enemy is anyone's guess, but we'll find out.. in 3 minutes.
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::nods solemnly:: *CEO*: Aye, sir.  ::continues scanning the system and redirects sensors towards the outpost::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	::hails the outpost::
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	OPS: Lieutenant. Can you give me emergency power? I may be able to buy us some time if they decide to come out and play. It won't be pretty, and it might even cause engineering to complain a little, but we've got 22% shields. They come at us with torpedoes again we are not saying no.
	
SakSak says:	
	::responds to the Don Johnson's hail:: COMM: Don Johnson: This is Sack.  Welcome to the Vodrey nebula, are you staying or passing through? ::does not look particularly interested in the answer::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: I can give you limited power over a limited time. It'll have to do, let me know when to hit the Go button.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::reconfigures phasers for a wide beam, sets the targets precautionarily, then looks briefly over at Donovan:: OPS: On my mark.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	::poised, nods at the tactical officer::
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::glares down at his console, almost daring the Klingons:: Self: Your move, boys.
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	::his fingers flying, he continues getting reports back, and with some miracle. *Bridge* you've got long range sensors, and 45% shields, but don't get us hit again, because these jurry rigs can't stand up to a sustained kicking.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	COMM: Sak: we need safe haven for the moment.
	
SakSak says:	
	::grunts:: COMM: OPS: And why should we do that? ::fingers move ever so slowly to point to the screen:: COMM: OPS: We are at war with each other, not with you Federation.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::glances up and over to OPS as he converses, then looks at the screen, nods once but returns attention to watching the fighters::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	COM: The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It could be mutually beneficial to let us stay.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::takes the time while the two of them are talking to check in with his security people::
	
SakSak says:	
	COMM: OPS: We can offer you three barrels of blood wine, but you are not under our protection.  Docking Ring 7, you may proceed to dock at your own risk.  We do not have enclosed facilities.
	
ACTION: Four Klingon birds of prey decloak just aft of the Don Johnson not aimed at the Don Johnson at all, but toward the fighters.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aFCO: Bring us in. COMM: Sak: Thanks, we'll pose no problem or threat.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	*CEO*: We're docking, kick you guys into overdrive, I don't know how long we'll have.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::catches Solaran's nod in response to Donovan's orders, and watches as she maneuvers the ship for the proposed docking platform, then turns attention to Donovan:: OPS: Doesn't sound much like these folks are interested in an alliance, lieutenant. But so long as we don't do more than what we're doing right now, the fighters will pay less attention to us and more attention to the birds 
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	of prey that just decloaked behind us.
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::looks up from his station:: OPS: Sir, we're pretty exposed out here.  
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: I want us to stay the hell out of it until we're better prepared. Let the Klingons fight,.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	SO: I'm well aware of that.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::shifts the viewscreen image to show the afore mentioned ships, not targeting the DJ::
	
ACTION: The Don Johnson's retreat from the battle field has caused a show down as no ships are engaging.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	*MED*: What is the status of the captain?
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	OPS: Suggestion, lieutenant. I have some... experience with handling Klingons. Just in case it could be of some use.
	
MO_Lt_Atruh`Atol says:	
	*OPS*: She's fine Lieutenant, sedated.  She should recover with no lasting injuries.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: Sure. Have at it.
	
aFCO_Ens_Solaran says:	
	::easily, almost too easily, guides the ship into its assigned mooring, securing it but not entirely disengaging propulsion systems::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	*CEO*: Get on the repairs.
	
ACTION: The USS Don Johnson safely docks with the Klingon Outpost along its exterior ring fully exposed to space and potential threats.  Yet, no threats seem to present themselves for the time being.
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	*bridge* all over it, get me people and parts. complete list. ::he taps:: *bridge* at your station.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aFCO: Keep us ready to depart at a moments notice.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	*CEO*: I'm sending it now. ::hits send::
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::receives the parts order:: *CEO*: I'm the scientist, do you want me to fabricate you parts?
	
aFCO_Ens_Solaran says:	
	OPS: Moorings secured, lieutenant. Engines on hot standby. Give the order, and we're off like... ::pauses, winces... Donavan’s rubbing off on her too much:: ... ahem. And we can leave immediately.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aFCO: Thank you. You're bucking for a promotion.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	OPS: Lieutenant. We have their attention. They're not shooting at us, or each other. Suggest we figure out if one of them feels like speaking up.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::briefly grins inwardly... it helps when your former CO is as Klingon as they come::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: Hail them if you think you can get a reaction. They ignored me. Might try setting the output of the UT to "Rude Klingon"
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	::continues working on repairs::
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	*CEO*: Ensign Mariner, did you want me to fabricate parts for you? ::seems perturbed::
	
CEO_Ens_Mariner says:	
	*SO* if you've got the time, check with ops, they have the parts list.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	SO: He's got the damn list. And the people to fabricate parts. As you were.
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::nods:: OPS: Aye sir.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::grins coolly, then taps at a control, opening a general channel:: COM: Klingons: It's strongly recommended, gentlemen, that you explain this dishonor. Preferably quickly.
	
ACTION: A moment of somber contemplation later 3 of the four Klingon ships power their weapons and turn toward the Don Johnson while SakSak hails the Don Johnson.
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::swallows hard:: OPS: Ss.s... Sir...
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::keys in a command, and stares coldly at the screen as the channel is open::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	SO: Keep calm.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: Do you want to take the station call as well?
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	OPS: Why not. But... do me a favor, please. Let's not keep it a secret.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: As you wish.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::transfers the hail to the viewscreen, but splits it with the communication to the general assembly, staring coldly at both::
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	::looks on from the operations station, feeling oddly alone::
	
SO_Ens_Hovsepian says:	
	::sighs::
	
ACTION: All vessels open fire on the USS Don Johnson.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	aCTO: Return fire. aFCO: Get us away from the station.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::watches as Solaran is already pulling away from the station, then nods once, turning attention to OPS:: OPS: Remember that emergency power you had on standby? Time to see what it can do.
	
OPS_Lt_Donovan says:	
	::initializes the standby power:: aCTO: Go for it.
	
aCTO_Lt_Arinoch says:	
	::lines up the three ships, then routes emergency power directly to the phaser emitters on a wide beam, before firing at full::
	
ACTION: As all four Klingon ships are now fully engaged the station powers up its weapons and opens fire on the Don Johnson just as warp kicks in and the Don Johnson narrowly escapes its fate... for one more week.
