<<<<<<<<<<Begin>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::takes a minute to realize the TL has stopped and he's staring at the bridge::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::sitting in the Captain's Chair at the moment::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::In sickbay ::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Is in the TAC office( where ever that is on the ship) going through various padds checking things::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::walks out of his ready room.:: XO:  How far out are we?

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Is at OPS, manning her station::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Exits sickbay and heads towards the TL::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::stands up, clears her throat:: All: Captain on the bridge! ::turns to CO:: CO: About ten minutes, sir.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Stands to attention::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::steps towards the Tactical console, grabbing a PADD and accessing his personal data:: CO: Captain... ::his voice creaks a little from non-use:: I've been poring over what we know of the Vroa, and I've got a few suggestions that will need your approval.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods and takes his seat.:: CTO:  Let's hear it.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Arrives on the bridge::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::finds the Padd she's after and leaves the office heading towards the TL::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::moves into the Command area and shows the Captain the PADD:: CO: Vroa shields are effectively impervious to our phasers. Our torpedoes can make a dent, but aren't very efficient. In a toe-to-toe fight, we don't stand a chance.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::glances back at CTO, wondering at his mood::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::waits for the TL that seems to be taking ages::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Hears what the CTO said and raises an eyebrow::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::finally gets into the TL:: TL: Bridge please

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO:  Go on...

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Turns and furrows his brow, listening intently.::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::feels quite chirpy for a change even under the circumstances and enters the bridge walking up to a spare TAC console::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CO: I don't intend to fight them toe-to-toe. ::he brings up an image of a chemical compound on the PADD:: This is Quantum Di-cobalt; an extremely powerful explosive we can replicate on the ship. We fill a shuttle with it, warp in into the enemy ship, and if that doesn't destroy it outright, it'll sure as hell break their shields.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Watches the interaction between the CTO and CO, starting to get a little worried about the emotionless mask Henry is wearing::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Stands listening with his arms folded::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::hears the CTO:: Self: wow that will create an impressive bang

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Nods:: CTO:  kamikaze attack....Alright, have your people rig a shuttle.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
Self : Unless your the one driving the shuttle!

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The Kraken arrives in the Vagra system.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::turns in her seat, once again disappointed that her chair doesn't spin:: CO: We're at the Vagra System, sir. ::bothered a little that the CEO isn't here to see her behaving herself with the captain. What a waste of self-control::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CTO: Hey Boss ::smiles concerned::  just checked arms and we are pretty much fully loaded

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CO: Well, not quite... we can pilot the shuttles remotely. I'd also recommend we upgrade to quantum torps if we get a chance; our data on their armour is incomplete. ::looks to the TO::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
TO: Thank you, Ensign.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
ALL:  Alright, we need to scan every inch of the system up to an including Vagra II.  Lets try to keep our distance from Vagra II, high orbit only for the moment.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::suddenly speaks a little louder than she normally would:: CTO: I can do the upgrades if you want

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO:  Issue side-arms to all personnel, I don’t want what happened on the Seleya to happen here.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: There are currently no ships visible on the sensors Sir, but that doesn't mean they aren't out there ::Continues to look at Sumner as she reports::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::is quite excited about getting into a potentially hostile situation and perks up as she hears the CO::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CO: Captain sick bay is prepped and ready

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CTO: do you want me to do that to Sir!

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::just kind of looks at Koraz:: TO: We'll need to take some on at a star-base. Set about getting all personnel on the ship armed, and set up a heavy target shooting regimen for Security. We'll need to be sharp.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS:  Alter our sensors to look for any anti-proton traces.  If their cloaks work like Klingon or Romulan tech, they should leave some kind of trail.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Smiles:: CTO: Right on it Sir

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::doesn't seem to notice Torel's looks as he moves back to Tactical:: CO: I also have a number of shield modifications in mind; I'll need to run them by Engineering, first.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Taps rapidly on the console, changing the parameters to search for the anti-proton traces::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::contacts Security about arming personnel and bringing some side arms up to the Bridge::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
OPS: Try a tachyon search grid

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Watches Henry walk past, and catches some tightly banked anger from him, barely being contained::

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The Kraken starts to shake ever so slightly, almost like a rumbling.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CTO: Sec will be bringing some side arms up to the bridge and Side arms are starting to be distributed Sir ... anything else?

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Nods at Du Pont:: CMO: Thanks for the advice ::Adds it to the sensor sweep::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CTO: What is that? ::gives him a serious look as the ship rumbles::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Feels the vibration of the console under her fingers::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::scans the area for the source of the turbulence::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Starts a search on the console also wondering what the rumble was sees the Sec officer with the arms start distributing to the bridge crew::

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The shaking increases. It is still relatively mild, but not very comfortable.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::stands up and paces over to Main tactical, waiting for Sumner's answer, keeping a sharp eye on him the whole time::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Looks over at Henry at the opposite station, deciding to keep an emotional eye on him, as she gets bumped about by the shaking::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::raises her eyebrow as she see the XO move up to the TAC console with the CTO::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Looks down at her console:: CO: Sir, our orbit is changing, we are being dragged towards the planet.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
ALL: Anyone have any idea what the hell that is?

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CO: We need distance from this place, now.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::turns, as she leans on the front of the CTO's console:: FCO: Break our orbit, now.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
ALL:  Oh, that would be Armus then....Fantastic.  Full reverse, move us away from Vagra II

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Walks over to a spare console and tries to determine where the gravitational pull is coming from::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CO: This looks like a similar energy field that the last ship here experienced, only much more intense.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::listens intently::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Looks to try and give the engines more power to reverse away from the planet::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO/CTO:  Apparently Armus has gotten a bit stronger since the Enterprise found him.

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> XO: I can't!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
FCO: Full impulse, put your back into it, man.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::hears the CO:: Self: Boredom can do that to you I guess

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> XO: I'm not new to this, Commander! It's not working!

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CO: Perhaps we can lock onto the source and destroy it with a torpedo Captain?

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CMO: Working on it.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CTO: Shields up, see if we can break the link.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
FCO: Unless we want to take power from shields or weapons, I can't give any more power from here

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CTO: pinpoint the source of this energy and launch a full torpedo spread into it.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::listen to what is going on and is quite impressed by the Doc at this moment in time::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::shuts his eyes tightly:: CO: I AM, Captain...

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CTO: Just a question have we actually pin pointed the location Sir

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Shuts her eyes as well, feeling the build up of Henry's anger closer to breaching::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::fires a full spread in the general area of the energy source, firing a few phasers as well, just for good measure::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Shakes his head.:: CTO:  No phasers!  Enterprise reports surmised that it feeds on the energy from phaser fire.

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: Weapons have no effect on the orbit.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
CO: No effect. We should try to warp out.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::looks back at her console and checks what has happened, hears the CO again:: Self: remind myself no to fire phasers at the Armus bod if I ever meet it

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CO: Sir, perhaps we can modify the deflector dish to fire off some gravitational pulses that may affect the gravational pull?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CMO:  Right now, I'll take anything.

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: Sensor scans are blocked.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Taps into the leCars display and access deflector control::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: Sensor scans are being blocked Captain, and we are still moving towards Vagra

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> CO: Sir we're about to enter the atmosphere. I'm adjusting our entry angle to compensate.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::rubs his eyes, unable to believe they were about to be marooned on a forbidden planet because someone was stupid enough to fly right to it::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::wishes the CO wouldn't be so very honest on the bridge::

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The shaking increases the closer they get to the planet, and the OPS console comes off its fixings.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
FCO: Have you even tried the warp engines, yet?

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Scowls at the approaching planet on the main viewer.::  FCO:  Ready the ship for landing, if were going in, I want to be intact when we get there.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CTO: Go to Blue Alert!

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Tries to catch Sumner's eye, as her console falls off its pedestal and onto her foot::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::shakes his head and activates blue alert, about to boil over::

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> CTO: Warp? Here? Are you mad?

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CO: Sir I've reconfigured the deflector dish to emit its own gravitational pulse, hopefully the 2 will neutralise each other

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CTO: Sir if it is this Armus guy can we not distract him with something so he concentrates on something else?

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
FCO: YOU'RE GOD DAMNED RIGHT I'M MAD! ::shuts his eyes and grips his console tightly, the klaxon reminding him of terrible things::

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> ::thinks the CTO is off his head but stays quiet::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Moves away from her destroyed console, and over to Sumner, carefully reaching out to him after his outburst:: CTO:  Henry...

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::hears the CTO Shout suddenly getting the idea something is wrong and calmly talks:: CTO: Sir my question do you think it could work

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CTO: Keep it together, Lt...  ::doesn't like the sense she's getting from their CTO right now. Last thing they need is a lunatic in charge of the explosives::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
CMO:  Give it a shot.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::grabs Torel's wrist, fighting to control himself; he slowly pushes her hand away and lets go::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
TO: Koraz, take Tactical.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
OPS: Fire the deflector dish, full power now!

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CTO: aye Sir ! ::takes Tac::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Blocks the CTO's way:: CTO: Henry.  Don't.  It feeds off of this.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
ALL:  Everyone keep it together!  Once we're on the surface, we'll reassess the situation, but right now, I need everyone to keep the ship together and intact while we land.  Maintain discipline!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::watches CTO, gives CO a look that says she's mighty concerned about him, before getting back to concentrating on the bridge's goings on::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
XO: Ma'am can we not try and distract Armus if it is him ::looks at the OPS and ten at the doc and then back at ops wondering why she isn't at her console::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::steps away slowly, not saying a word, eyes welling; he finds a space against the bulkhead and sits down::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Reaches round to the console behind Sumner, and fires the deflector dish::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::takes a deep breath:: TO: You have anything in mind?

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The deflector dish is activated and the effects on the Kraken are muted. Sensors come back online revealing a Vroa ship on the surface.

Host SMurf says:
<FCO_Zorn> CO: Moving us out of orbit, Sir!

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::pauses for a minute:: XO: In all honestly ma'am ..... no

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Crouches down by Henry for a moment::  CTO: I'm here, when you're ready Henry.  ::Moves back to the OPS area, and slaves a console to replace the damaged one::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
TO:  Target the Vroan ship and destroy it!

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::checks his readings, monitoring the pulses from the deflector dish::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CO: Aye Sir ::targets ship with torps and fires::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::breaths a sigh of relief as they regain control of the ship:: TO: It's a start of an idea... keep thinking. We may yet need it. :;turns to the CTO, sitting in the corner:: CTO: If you're not up to this, get off the bridge. ::face is stern::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::closes his eyes and nods, getting to his feet and heading to a tubo lift::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
XO: Yes Ma'am ::looks on her console to see if any damage has been done to the Vroan ship::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::watches Sumner leave, not saying anything, then turns back to the matter at hand.::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::stands in the open TL for a moment::

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CTO: Sickbay Lt.

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The Vroa ship takes off after being fired upon and cloaks.

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
<Computer> CTO: Please state your destination.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
TO:  We know phasers aren’t much good, dump full torpedo spreads into them until you breach their shields.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::nods to CMO, approving of his suggestion::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::swallows softly:: Computer: Sickbay.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
Self: : oh Dear: CO: Sir the ship has cloaked and taken off, I did use Torps Sir however I think they are on there way up

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Doesn't lose her sense of worry about Henry, even after he leaves the bridge::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CO: Sir I cannot confirm if we damaged the ship either as they cloaked before I got any readings

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The Vroa ship de-cloaks very close to the Kraken and fires all weapons.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
TO:  Damn...alright, keep us at red alert.  Focus your scans for any of the usual traces to penetrate their cloak.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Rocks as the weapons fire hits the Kraken::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
Computer: Stop! Engineering!

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Grits his teeth as the ship rocks.::  FCO:  Turn our torpedo arcs to them, we need to hit them with heavy weapons!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::grabs the rail behind the command area as the ship rocks::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
TO:  Weapons free, try to focus on one shield angle and bring it down!

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The Kraken shields take a pummelling and go offline for a few seconds before coming back on at 70%.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
:: Holds her console as the ship rocks::CO: Aye sir ::hits the fire button and throws a fall spread at the other ship::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Checks console:: CO: Sir shields are down to 70%

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::steps off the turbolift, moving to the nearest crewman and taking their pad, bringing up the explosive:: Crewman: I need as much of this as you can replicate, now. Beam it to the Shuttle Bay when it's ready. ::gives the crewman a look to keep them from asking questions::

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The intruder alert klaxon rings.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Hears the Intruder alarm::*sec* find that intruder

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::draws his phaser and looks around, his eyes wide with a not-all-together rage; he makes his way to the shuttle bay::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Taps his combadge.::  SECURITY:  All security personnel, prepare to repel boarders.  If their tactics hold they are suicide bombers, shoot to kill!

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Looks wildly around as the intruder siren is heard, remembering that the Seleya had intruders that blew themselves up::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::turns, listening to the klaxon for a split second before turning and heading at speed to her seat, leaning on it, ignoring the ominous creak it gives, and grabbing the phaser under it::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
Ops: Can you get me more power to the shields

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Starts scans to find the intruders::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Looks at the readings from internal sensors::  CO: There are no intruders on sensors Captain.  Just a transporter beam into engineering

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Moves to his chair and opens the compartment below, pulling out two hand phasers, handing one to Torel.::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::holsters her phaser:: TO: Erect forcefields at all major junctions and in Jeffries tubes.

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
OPS:  Find what they beamed in and get if off my ship!

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: A black liquid flows from the upper level of engineering behind the warp core and envelops two of the Engineers stood there.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Tries to find some more power for Koraz:: TO: Doing what I can for you, Koraz

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
XO: Yes M'am ::carries out the XO's orders and erects forcefields still checking for damage on the other ship::

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::enters the nearest shuttle in the bay, and programs it for remote piloting::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
OPS: Thank you

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: I can't find it Captain

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Stands at his console looking helplessly on::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CO: The ships shields are down to 40% continue to fire sir?

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: Armus throws two engineers to their death before enveloping another.

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
OPS: Beam whatever they beamed up... back down.

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
CO: I can't find anything, there isn't anything to beam Sir

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::Taps his combadge.:: "Security":  I need Engineering sealed off until we can find out what the hell they beamed in!

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
TO:  Shoot till we can't shoot any more Ensign, I want that ship brought down!

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::sighs in frustration as none of the explosives show up; desides the destabilize the shuttle warp core instead::

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CO: With pleasure Sir ::Continues to fire::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::stands up:: CO: I need to get down there!

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::hears the CEO:: CEO: Sir you will need a Security detail

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::runs towards the Turbolift and gets in, not awaiting a reply::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
::looks up at Adalberto::  CEO:  What the hell are you doing up here?!

CTO_LtJG_Sumner says:
::taps his combadge:: *Bridge*: I'm about to launch a shuttle bomb; need as much distance from the Vroa ship as possible.

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: The Vroa ship warps out of the system.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
CO: There's a chance there will be casualties Captain, I'll head down to engineering as well!

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
CEO: Go! Take the doctor.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
::Hears the CEO and CMO:: CEO/CMO: Take a Security detail with you ... please

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::follows the CEO::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::holds the lift doors open:: CMO/TO: Then get in here, I don't have all bleeding day!

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CO: Sir ship has warped away

Host SMurf says:
ACTION: Long range sensors show the Vroa ship explode just outside the system.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
CO: Sir, actually ship just exploded too sir, permission to leave the bridge to accompany the CEO

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO: Well, I think we can definitely confirm the Vroa in this system.

CMO_Ens_DuPont says:
::Mentally checks his medkit::

Host XO_LtCmdr_Suder says:
::gives the CO an astonished look:: CO: Yes, we'll be sure to put that in our logs... ::shoves herself off the bulkhead she was leaning on::

OPS_Ens_Torel says:
::Sees lifesigns slowly disappear from Engineering...::

Host CO_Cmdr_Aan says:
XO:  Alright, let's get squared away and find out what the hell they put on our ship.

TO_Ens_Koraz says:
Waits on the CO's permission to leave the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Adalberto says:
::pulls the TO in and shuts the door::
