Summary - Everything happens for a reason. Destiny and fate control everything...every action has an equal and opposite reaction. All of this is true, but what does that mean for the concept of free will?

Everything happens for a purpose. The last two years have not occurred for no reason at all. Everything has a reason. Brenna Delar's coma was the result of a virus...or so it seems. Her coma has been passed along, through the sacrifices of those around her...

K'Nargh, to Kerak...and now finally Dandin Lai. The Scimitar Chief Engineer lays on the floor of his office, drowning in his own pool of blood...his sacrificing leading to the awakening of Korvus Kerak half a sector away...

...and on the bridge of the U.S.S. Scimitar, Brenna Delar is about to make a startling discovery...

::Punches a few buttons and brings up the progress of the virus creation::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CSO: I need as much information as you can get supporting the federations growth, especially where it shows the trend in the federations politics to utilise the prime directive as a set of rules which are to be followed at all costs. ::pauses for breath and briefly looks to the CTO, nods:: CTO: One minute.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::waits patiently watching the display on his console::

#<TO> COM: Scimitar: CTO: Sir, Phasers online and charging, Heading for the bridge.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Walks to the secondary science console and brings up a tactical picture::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::curses:: CSO: I can’t even get a crack at all this noise, our signals are jammed...are you picking up anything special?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: That's quite a bit of information, Commander. Give me a few seconds to pull it up ::brings a PADD out from the storage underneath his console and begins searching, correlating and downloading whatever he finds to the PADD::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Rushes to the CEO's Office::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
COM: Eridanus: TO: Acknowledged chief.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
Seli: This is our chief science officer Lt Delar, He will provide you with the information, ::looks to the CSO:: CSO: Thank you, This is minister Seli from the Airilian assembly, please excuse me one minute.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::takes a seat behind his desk::  COM: SF Command: Haydes: Captain Black for Admiral Haydes.... please come in...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: moves to the CEO's body....turning him on his back and checking his pulse. :: CEO: Sir?  Wake up....Don't you do this to me...I haven't gotten my evaluation yet!
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns back to the CTO and steps over to him:: CTO: What is it?
Minister_Seli says:
::tries obtaining a look around the XO to the CSO's console:: XO: Understood.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Black only gets static - it appears as if the signal is jammed, and they can't get through the Airilian comm traffic.
Karla_Leasha says:
::Still in the TL::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: turns to the young technician nearby :: Technician: Don't just stand there...get a first aid kid...Quickly!!
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@:: Falls asleep::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: Nothing special here, try and get the computer to match it's subspace frequency to the bandwidth that the jamming is working on. They're probably using multi-layered signal deprivation, so take that into account too...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::grumbles::  *OPS*: Black to Delar... Lieutenant... get me a clear transmission ASAP...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks down at her console::*CO*:Sir I'm sorry I can't get anything through all this right now....I thought I had the signal, they're jamming everything on us

::stands from his chair and heads out of his readyroom::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
CMO: I do not know sir....he was found laying down and bleeding...I can't get a pulse....please. help him!
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Xia exits the lift and makes a quick dash towards the transporter room. As she get in, she orders the chief to beam her and Leasha over to her vessel::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Bends over the CEO checks for his pulse, just to be sure::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods:: CSO: Thanks ::tries to match the frequency furrowing her brow and swearing at the computer threatening certain vital systems if it refuses to comply::
Minister_Seli says:
::continues to watch the CSO's console, still somewhat pensive::
Karla_Leasha says:
::Follows Xia as she feels the feeling of the transporters:
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: Thank you lieutenant. ::looks at him as if checking for anything else he may wish to add::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::leaving his readyroom he heads for OPS' station::  OPS: Keep trying, Lieutenant... we need to warn them in advance so we can continue our final efforts...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: steps back from the CMO and the CEO...hitting a nearby intercom. :: *CO*: Captain, this is Ensign Kamarov.  The CEO has had an accident...don't know much about it...the CMO is checking him out right now.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at OPS and turns to his XO::  XO: Status, Commander...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Acknowledged, can you handle things down there for now, Mr. Kamarov ?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods:: CO: Sir...I'll do everything I can, but you've seen the reports on their comm system, I'm not sure what we can do short of getting clear of it, but I'll keep trying
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::At his console waiting for the attacking orders:: Self: I should have stayed in bed.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: I have instructed My TO to take control of tactical on the Eridanus and reports liaise with me with regards to tactical support.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: Our weapons are back online. Reports from engineering are positive. And the Airilian fleet is still making progress, sir.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light Leasha and Xia arrive on the bridge of the U.S.S. Eridanus.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CO*: Aye Captain...I'll have him running like Russian Ox for you, sir.
Karla_Leasha says:
#::Looks around as she materialises:: ECO: where do you want me ma'am
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Finally he finds a faint pulse to work with:: EO: Okay, we have a slightly faint pulse here. He's not dead yet.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::turns around and hands the PADD to the Minister:: Seli: All yours
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Good man, Black out.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns to the SO:: SO: whilst the CSO is working could you scan the Airilian fleet any indication's would be nice.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
#<TO> ::Arrives on the bridge of the Eridanus::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Aye sir, scanning now ::Turns back to his console and brings up data of a scan he made 2 minutes ago and rescans to verify::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
XO: Understood... bring weapons on standby in case we need them...   FCO: Commander, plot a course back to the federation, maximum warp... we'll need it if it comes to that...
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> ::The Starbase CMO chases off the other medics, and makes sure Kerak is restrained before injecting him with a stimulant to wake him::
Minister_Seli says:
::inclines her head only a degree:: CSO: Thank you. ::starts reading the PADD, absently pacing while she lets the CSO get back to work::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: nods to the CMO :: CMO: Do what you can for him, Doctor.  I have a ship to run. :: turns to the rest of the staff in Engineering. :: Staff: Lets get this ship ready to stop a war, people...the CEO is depending on us!
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::shakes her head:: CSO: It's no use...we just can't get through...any chance you know any great tricks that'll make our transmitter at least match the strength of theirs?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and turns back to his console, maximizing his sensor manager and running a few sweeps of the Airilian fleet::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO:  Aye aye, sir ::plotting a course  and checking engines:: *EO*: what's the Max speed you can give me?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::returns to the CSO and upon hearing the CO turns briefly to the CTO with a nod to bring weapons online::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::Wakes back up and sees the SBCMO leering over him and shouts:: SBCMO: Gah! Who are you!
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
#<TO> ::nods to the ECO and takes position at Tac1::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::makes his way to the CSO's station::  CSO: Lieutenant, how are coming along with collecting the available information...?
Karla_Leasha says:
#:;waits for her orders::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CO*: Sir...we can take whatever you can dish out....this ox feels like running today!
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::steps back slightly in order to avoid the pacing minister::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
OPS: Nothing that won't blow it up...You could have engineering filter off warp power to the subspace transmitter, but they'll need three or four people constantly checking that they don't bleed off too much
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: Commander Mark McTravish, Senior Medical Officer, Starbase 657...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Sir, most of the fleet is moving towards the border, mostly smaller vessels.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
EO: I will have to fix these wounds, but he'll be okay. ::Takes the portable med kit and places a few bandages on the CEO::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles::  *EO*: Understood...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: I can identify at least 40 different classes
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: Starbase? What the... why? ::Looks puzzled:: Where's K’Nargh? Is he all right?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::smiles:: CSO: I'm looking at this and I don’t think we have enough power on the whole ship to pull it off...short of getting clear...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: SO: Thank you, weapons status of the ships and what are weapons do they appear to be equipped with?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: Lieutenant JG K'Nargh was checked out here before he returned to the Scimitar, he is...alive. ::He pauses:: We didn't think you would wake, Doctor.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
CO: The parts that we've decoded so far, Captain, are fleet movements, communications, starship logs...A lot of intelligence on their part
Minister_Seli says:
::studies the PADD somewhat curiously:: Self: intriguing...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: moves to the workbench again....monitoring the engines and coaxing every bit of warp speed from them. ::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
::Xia moves over and takes her command chair, she orders Trigger to prepare for defensive actions, and for their conn officer to coordinate with Commander Exeter on a route that can bring them ahead of the Airilian Fleet::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Course plotted and we have warp 9.8 for the next 12 hours
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::finishes with the bandages:: EO: Ensign, I will have to take the CEO to sickbay to heal these wounds.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::rubs her eyes wearily watching her eyes glowing and reflecting in her console and feeling the bridge spin a little as her head throbs trying to think of a solution::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: Well I am awake, why am I here? We... we were on that bloody planet, those aliens... K’Nargh was dead! I checked him myself.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::is close to Seli but remains out of her pacing zone, watches her reaction::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: The weapons seem to be inactive sir. ETA to the border is about 20 hours
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  CSO: Excellent...  ::turns to the viewscreen::  OPS: Lieutenant... open up a communication channel with the Eridanus... Commander Xia...
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#Leasha: Open communication with Lieutenant Delar, and begin to coordinate with her...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: What is the status of our remaining fighters?
Minister_Seli says:
::stops pacing, turns her attention to the XO:: XO: You are... explorers?
Karla_Leasha says:
#~ECO: Aye ma'am takes Ops and Opens communication with Scimitar
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<CAG> *CTO*: Remaining fighters are in good order
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
Computer: Two to sickbay.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: Unfortunately, Doctor - nothing like that happened. It appears as if Lieutenant K'Nargh suffered from heart failure when you and the crew were in stasis...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: SO: Hmm that would coincide well with the end of their cease fire. Nice work.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and opens a channel bringing it up onscreen::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: looks up to spare a glance at the CMO and CEO. :: *CMO*: Make sure to bring him back to us in one piece, Doctor.  That is NOT how I want to be promoted.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light, Abmeraz and Lai arrive in sickbay...the odd black blood dripping from Lai's wound.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: What in the Gods names are you talking about? Stasis?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Indeed sir, almost to the minute..
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods with a surprised look:: Seli: Yes Minister. ::fears the minister may have been lead to believe differently::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
COM: Eridanus: CO: Captain Black calling the U.S.S. Eridanus.. please respond...
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: You and the other members of the U.S.S. Scimitar crew were placed into a stasis...you dreamed K'Nargh's death. The reports are all available.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
*CAG*: Very well have all pilots report for duty and have them Battle ready, we might need them.
Karla_Leasha says:
#ECO: ma'am incoming transmission from the Scimitar
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#COM: Scimitar: CO: This is the Eridanus...go ahead, Captain.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Quickly places the wounded CEO on one of the Biobed::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
<CAG> *CTO*: Acknowledged. CAG out.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@:Looks puzzled:: SBCMO: Oh... ::looks around:: Where are the rest of the crew then?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Lai begins to cough up blood, and it splatters all over Abmeraz's uniform...ewwww...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Looking annoyed::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
COM: Eridanus: ECO: Commander Xia, seeing our current situation with the fleet moving towards federation space it might be the best option for the Eridanus to head to Federation Space at maximum warp and warn Starfleet Command before hand since we can't get through the communication block at the moment...
Minister_Seli says:
::nods a touch:: XO: If this is not... false evidence... ::casts a brief look at the CSO:: ... then our fleet is poised to engage a people of peace.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::puts up his hand:: CO; Sir?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
COM: Eridanus: ECO: The Scimitar will stay behind to try and get the Council to listen to Minister Seli....
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Holds Lai down to suppress his coughing::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#COM: CO: As much as I disagree with us dividing out forces...you are correct. Starfleet must be warned...::She glances over to Leasha:: I'll have Lieutenant Leasha begin working on a way to maintain communications.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: Ummm...::He thinks:: I believe the Scimitar was reassigned to the Airilius Star System...
Karla_Leasha says:
#::raises eyebrow and looks up amazed at that comment::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
CEO: Hold on now sir, let's see what we have got here. ::Takes a blood sample for analysis::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
Self: Looks like we're all sorted then.
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: taps a finger on the side of the console...trying to find a way to occupy his thoughts away from the CEO. ::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@Self: Bloody typical, dump me and leave... SBCMO: I'm almost afraid to ask, but how long have I been here?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::sits back quietly in her chair closing her eyes for a moment trying to clear her head::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods finally hearing an Airilian saying what she has been preaching for so long:: Seli: Indeed, the information is correct and accurate, as the federation grew and its people grew it has learnt the importance of trying to preserve life without interfering. We are not conquerors or warmongers.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: Almost a month...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  COM: Eridanus: ECO: Thank you, Commander... god speed on your journey back to Federation Space and let them know the Scimitar will do everything we can to prevent this situation from escalating...  ::glances at his FCO::  FCO: Commander..?
Karla_Leasha says:
#:: starts thinking ::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@::Coughs:: SBCMO: A month! By the Gods...
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#Leasha: Do you think you can find a way to keep comms open through the jam?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Better if we go, sir , seeing that we are faster then the Eridanus. Eridanus just goes 8 at max warp, sir, we do 9,8
Karla_Leasha says:
#ECO: Well I hate saying no until its proved I cannot do it ma'am .. so I will do my best
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@Self: I need a drink...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
#<TO> ::keeps a check on tactical systems to make sure everything is still working::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: his eyes fall upon the red PADD that holds all his tricks and pranks he's pulled on the Scimitar crew. his eyes going wide as he comes up with an idea.:: *CO* Captain,. I think I have a way of delaying the fleet enough to buy us some time!
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Punches a few commands on the Biobed console and braces the Lai to prevent him from getting up or falling off the Biobed::
Minister_Seli says:
::nods once, shifting her weight faintly:: XO: With this information, I may be able to at least gain the council's ear.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods::  FCO: We may be faster, Commander... but the Scimitar is the lead vessel in this mission and I think it is our duty to complete this mission to best of our abilities...
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#Leasha: Excellent. EFCO: Prepare to leave the system, maximum warp...::She gives a heavy sigh::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: your party, sir :;shakes his head::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods:: Seli: Thank you, once again my apologies for the way we brought you here, I hope you understand that these circumstances left us with little option, when you are ready we shall return you to your office, should you require any further information we will be happy to assist as we can.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - An odd sort of whisper floods Pierce and MacAllister, and then vanishes...
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: So what now?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks up disturbed as a whisper reaches him:: self: What the..
Karla_Leasha says:
#::leaves Conn and walks to the spare Science consol and taps her fingers while slaving ops as well::
Minister_Seli says:
::looks mildly irritated... but it's brief:: XO: We shall speak of your abduction of me later. For the moment, yes... arrange for my return.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::shivers slightly and shakes his head::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Runs a few scans on the hematological scanner::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: Now, we conduct a full medical examination to see what prevented you from waking...::He glances down at a PADD:: What is the last thing you remember?
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks over to pierce briefly and then back at his console::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks at MacAllister from the corner of his eyes... he wasn't the only one who felt it::
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: The V'Rax, or that simulation or whatever it was, we crashed the shuttle, K’Nargh died... well that’s what I thought happened, what exactly did happen? Why were we in stasis? Who!?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
OPS: Return the minister to her office please? ::looks to OPS:: Seli: Good Luck.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#COM: Scimitar: CO: We are prepared to depart Captain. May fate be on your side, Captain...::She nods once before closing the communication, and standing::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Starts to worry about the results:: *SO*: CMO here. Sir.... I have discovered something out of the ordinary here. Have you ever seen black blood?
Minister_Seli says:
XO: I will send for your captain shortly. ::waits for the transport::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Turns back to his console, resuming his duties as if nothing happened. but feeling very uneasy::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods to Seli before she gives the SO and CTO a strange glance of curiosity then her eyes fix on the CTO as if waiting::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods:: XO: Aye ma'am ::sets up the transport and hits the energise button nervously hoping there aren't any other locking mechanisms to prevent it from working::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at Xia before the communication goes black and turns to Seli, giving her confident nod::  Seli: Good luck from all of us, Minister...
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - In a shimmer of blue light, Minister Seli, the Minister of Morach Affairs is beamed back to Airilius IV, and into her office...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::notices the XO looking:: XO: Commander?
Karla_Leasha says:
#::Starts to get data on what the Airilians are doing and what frequency they are using::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::watches as the confirmation comes up and sighs with relief:: Self: thank god
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: starts to prepare his PADD for what he has planned.  *CO* Captain, this is Ensign Kamarov. :: sighs as he receives no response. :: Self: what a time for comms to be down.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Looks up at the viewscreen then back at his console:: Self: how long would we stand against that fleet.
Minister_Seli says:
@::materialises in her office, and goes about arranging an address to the council::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: How much damage can we do if we need to defend ourselves?
Karla_Leasha says:
#Computer: is there any specific jamming frequency that the Airilians are using?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Unfortunately, it seems as though someone noticed Seli's absence...and as she materializes, she sees a bright glimmer fly past her face as a blade slices through her neck...the Minister falls to the ground, dead.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Hears the question of the XO and quickly looks up some info on his console. not liking the numbers..::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Well... ::briefly looks at his console:: ...we can certainly defend ourselves, torpedoes and phasers chargeable to full power and we have full shields.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::looks one last time curiously at the SO and making her way to the CTO console she looking down at it down at it::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Computer> Leasha: Negative. All frequencies disrupted.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Guesses the SO is still busy, he continues to analyze the blood samples from Lai::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::gestures to the console:: XO: As you can see, all weapons are now fully operational.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Black here, Ensign...
Karla_Leasha says:
#:;frowns and leans on her consol thinking::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks up, still feeling uneasy and notices the XO looking away::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The U.S.S. Eridanus, at Xia's command, makes its way through the remaining one million vessels and towards the edge of the system...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CO*: Captain. I think I have a way of slowing down the alien fleet for maybe an hour or so....it's going to require some manipulation of the comms array...but I think it will work.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: I am interested in our possible targets can we destroy enough of the Airilians comm systems on time to disrupt them long enough if we have to move? And what other targets do they have? ::pauses to let him respond::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::shakes his head:: XO: best way we stop this fleet is we rush back and join up with the Fed taskforce to counter this.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#Leasha: Any luck, Lieutenant? ::She paces along the bridge as the Eridanus flies through wings of fighters and capital ships...
Karla_Leasha says:
#Computer: Are the frequencies blocking matching our frequencies .. frequency by frequency
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: I'd need some more information about the fleet but I'm sure if we can disable some of the larger ships we stand a good chance of winning.
Karla_Leasha says:
#~ECO: No ma'am still working on it though seems I’m having trouble pinning down the frequency that the Airlians are using
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Computer> Leasha: Affirmative.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Sounds good, Ensign... what kind of modifications..?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Finally wakes up when i realizes someone asked him a question:: *CMO*: I'm sorry sir, i must've not heard you. Black blood you say? Any readings from the computer?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::shakes her head:: FCO: Always after the fight, ::smiles thinking he may get it:: we still have a chance in Seli and Scimitar stays here to assess its options until Captain Black says otherwise.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: If I knew their shield frequencies I could modify the phaser arrays to a rotating modulation.
Karla_Leasha says:
#::smiles a little hopeful and then starts looking at the frequency that the communications use::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: taps out a few equations on his console :: *CO* I need the comm relays to match the signal frequency of the closest Airl...Arilli...bah..Alien ship to us...I can then piggy back a signal and...well. infect their communications array to transmit every little dirty trick I've used since I got here to them...should slow down the fleet for an hour.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: Did you check for radiation?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: We are wasting time if you ask me. Diplomatic way won't work didn't work with the Cardies and the Dominion.
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*SO*: As far as I can tell, it's probably something with radiation. I can’t tell for sure though. ::Scratching the back of his head::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CTO: If it comes to it I would like to at least temporarily disable the fleet, they have so many ships taking out a few will make little difference. Perhaps the SO can assist you?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Leasha's computer beeps as it locks onto a few specific frequencies...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: So you cannot tell what kind of radiation? Could you recheck for theta radiation?
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@:Looks about, waiting for the doctor to finish what he's doing and reply::
Karla_Leasha says:
#ECO: ma'am I have an idea .. not sure its going to work thou, i can trey and change the frequency of the communications to something else, just not sure what will happen on the receiving end
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::while everything goes on around him, he continues to sort through the captured information, hoping for anything to help in the likely fight::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
<Computer> CMO: Unidentified radiation signature detected.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at his FCO::  FCO: Enough, Commander... we will stay until all diplomatic options are dead...  figularly speaking of course...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::looks to the SO:: SO: Think you can get me their shield frequencies Ensign Pierce?
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks down as her console beeps:: CO: Sir, we have an incoming transmission...text only ::furrows her brow bringing it up::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
FCO: Facing this armada of ships in federation space or here would make little difference. Perhaps you can find courses out of here should the need arise?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#Leasha: They'd need to know what they were looking for...correct?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at OPS and nods::  OPS: Lets hear it...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
::Looks at the CTO:: CTO: Aye sir, i could give it a swing ::Punches a few buttons on the console, trying to get the frequency of the Airilian shields::
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: waits eagerly for the Captains approval of his plan ::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::shakes head and looks at the slowly moving fleet:: CO: If you ask me all Diplomatic options died a while ago.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - The text message displays on Brenna's console, "Nice try Black - Seli has been dealt with. Nineteen hours."
Karla_Leasha says:
#ECO: Yep so some how I need to send some tag with it that will alert them ..
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
*EO*: Understood, go ahead with it, Ensign...
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks at it:: CO: Sir...I think you need to read this ::brings it up on the main viewscreen::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: Also I need to know if they have the ability to rotate their shield frequencies.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
:;gets time to return to the CSO:: CSO: Whatever you gave Seli you appear to have done a good job, thank you.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: Sir, i think this is Dreamscapes related. You might want to look up the information we have about them. It's scarce, but still.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::sits back in her chair:: Self: Oh god
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: Just what you told me to get her, Commander
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::turns OPS and then the viewscreen, thinking to herself:: Self: That sounds ominous.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at the viewscreen and grumbles::  Self: Unbelievable.... this is not happening....
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CTO: Found their frequency, but they're rotating like crazy sir
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::frowns down at the latest piece of uncovered information:: CO: Captain, you'll want to take a look at this...I think I’ve just found their rough battle plan
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*CO*: Aye sir!! :: immediately starts to work on the comm array frequency modulator...matching the fluctuating wave as close as he can to the alien communications...*OPS*: Lieutenant...I am sending an information packet to your console. Do NOT open it...send it directly to the nearest alien ship using the frequency dynamics I am sending with it.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::inhales deeply, looking at the CSO in surprise now::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::sits back and shakes his head:: Self: not like I told you so, but I told you so!
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: Did the computer find anything sir?
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*SO*: Sir, I've run a few scans on the blood, but the computer can't identify it. It might be theta.... but I'm not sure.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Medics begin to run a full check-up on Kerak as the Doctor begins to run several scans.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::thinks for a moment as he slowly walks to the CSO's station, then hands him an empty PADD::  CSO: Download all that information you gave Seli to this PADD again...
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: Right, get a record of the rotation and forward it to my console.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks down at her console tapping away trying to bring up sensor readings on the minister's office::
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: When was the last time you received your glucose treatment, Ensign?
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::nods and uploads the information to the PADD::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods slowly::  CSO: Excellent Lieutenant... just what we need...
Karla_Leasha says:
#::Stops:: Self: hang on why not try scrambling the initial message ::Stops:: Hmm might need a receiving station to recharge the frequency
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: Try to isolate some cells and do some tests on them. Black sounds very lizard like.. very Dreamscapes like
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: The last time I administered myself the treatment was, well before I was knocked out sometime, and are you going to tell me about what happened or not? What was this stasis thing you were talking about?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CTO: Aye sir ::Taps some more buttons on his console and sends the rotation pattern to the console of the CTO::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*SO*: Okay, let's give that a try.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::swallows hard:: CO: Sir...the minister's dead...security forces are mobilizing to her office but...oh god
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: Classified...I don't even know all of the details, I'm sorry...
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
*OPS*: Lieutenant...please respond.  Do NOT open the data packet...just transmit it to the nearest ship...and let it do its work.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::hits her comm badge shaking::*EO*:Alright ensign, thanks ::transmits the data to the nearest ship ignoring its purpose for the time being::
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::hears the word dreamscapes her eyes focus sharply on the SO for the second time today:: SO: What may involve Dreamscapes?
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::takes the PADD from the CSO::  CSO: Thank you, Lieutenant...   ::moves to his XO::  XO: Commander... it seems someone on that planet is taking this personally, to escalate this situation and I cannot allow that...  ::puts the PADD in the right pocket of his jacket::
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::goes a little deeper, looking into the "Battle-plan" he stumbled across::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
::co-ordinates the rotation of the phaser frequency and photons torpedo integrity field to coincide with the rotating shield frequency then inverts it::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
::Works his equipment to isolate some of the cells.:: Computer: Run another scan on the isolated cells and check for radiation.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: What? So we just happened to be put in stasis without us knowing and then all that was an illusion? How long were we in there? bah! Could of been months for all I know! Damn Starfleet!
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: The CMO has some trouble analyzing some blood ma'am.. it seems to be black.. To be honest that immediately got me thinking Dreamscapes.. He's running additional tests now, but it seems to have some unknown properties.. maybe a mutation of some sorts
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
@<SBCMO> MO: I don't have all the details, Ensign...please, try to remain calm.
Karla_Leasha says:
#Computer: Is there any non Starfleet ships within Communication range and is it possible to use as probe as a receiver?
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
<Computer> CMO: Analyzing. Analysis should be complete in five minutes...
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: I suggest we get out of here or do some damage, because diplomacy won't work anymore, ma'am.
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::continues::  XO: As such, Commander...  I'll be beaming down to the surface and presenting this evidence to the council myself...  it seems to be the option left here and I have a duty to take it...
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods assessing him for a moment with that thoughtful gaze before speaking:: CO: Yes and I believe the Regent is only the beginning of this....::pauses sensing he is determined:: If it must be the one in the middle of it at least take security with you sir, please.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Computer> Leasha: Scanning. Affirmative, a comm buoy can be used as a communications relay.
MO_Ens_Kerak says:
@SBCMO: Calm! You expect me to remain calm after I've been unconscious for a month without knowing why, and after being told that the past month or whenever did not actually happen and then not explain why? Calm! Ha!
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
XO: Commander, I’ve taken a look at these battle-plans...they can sweep the entire sector in three days
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
SO: Thank you keep us informed that may be useful as they have been involved in this issue earlier ::does not continue::
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*SO*: Sir, the computer is scanning the separated cells, but it can take up to five minutes. I get back to you when I have the results.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::looks up hearing everything around her and then putting her head back down and concentrating hard on her console learning nothing in particular from it::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::shakes his head::  XO: Security won't do me any good, it still would be approximately a few million to one...   ::thinks for a moment::  as soon as I've beamed down you will take the Scimitar back to federation space....
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: I'm curious, what is the configuration of the shields on the Airilian ships, are they all over or stronger at the front?
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
*CMO*: Aye sir. please keep me informed
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
* waits at his console...waiting to see if his plan has worked....getting more nervous by the moment..::
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
XO: Did you want to say something else ma'am?
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
FCO: Would you be willing to go home knowing you have run away from trying all you can to prevent such a large scale war? ::looks more serious:: Do you have a course laid in should we need an escape route?
Karla_Leasha says:
::Smiles:: Computer: run a theory for me, if I Scrambled a message on a different frequency and sent it to the communication Buoy that was outside the jamming area, with the buoy set to unscramble the message and then send it on federation frequencies ... is there a possibility it would work
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:;stands up:: CO: if your going I'm Going ::walks to the Turbolift::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::glances at OPS::  OPS: Lieutenant, prepare to beam me to the surface and into the A.N.A. governing body...
CMO_Ens_Abmeraz says:
*SO*: Yes sir. ::Walks over to Lai to check on for the next five minutes::
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::watches the captain for a moment before preparing the transport:: CO: Ready sir...be careful
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Computer> Leasha: Affirmative.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
CO: I am not prepared to leave you here, and you have not met this Regent he could have you killed in an instant….::looks as though she has spoken out of tone:: Sir, I mean what gain would we get from leaving you?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: Escape course has been plotted and The CO won't be going alone.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CTO: Sir. i analyzed the shields some more.. it seems they mostly have make-shift shields, and most have set theirs to front-focused
Karla_Leasha says:
#Computer: Okay so what distance would the buoy need to be
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: Then our positioning couldn't be better.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Computer> Leasha: Jamming frequencies end at 2.1 light-years.
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO: Commander I think I may have something.
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CTO: True sir. I would recommend that we prepare for a massive strike-out.. Take out as many as possible in the first blow if need be
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
XO: A chance of peace between the Airilians and the Federation.... that is enough for me since I am a Starfleet Officer...  ::smiles faintly::  in any case, I've made up my mind Commander...  you're in command of the Scimitar, take good care of her...
Karla_Leasha says:
#Computer estimate time the Buoy would get there to this ship
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods for once agreeing with the FCO:: CO: Sir, We have a good striking position here if we need one, if this becomes a war the federation will not get this close to the centre for some time ::looks to the CTO::..
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
#<Computer> Leasha: 18 standard  hours.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Lock on to me and be ready to beam me down with the CO.
XO_LtCmdr_Janan says:
::nods slightly to the CO::
Karla_Leasha says:
#Computer: so would the buoy get there before the ship?
EO_Ens_Kamarov says:
:: starts to pace in front of the ME work bench...:: Self: come on...work ...
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::smiles at the FCO::  FCO: John, some things a Starfleet Officer has to do on his own.... and Commander Janan will need you on the Scimitar more then I do....
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::watches Black carefully shooting a worried glance back at Rowan::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
::nods at OPS::  OPS: One to beam down, Lieutenant !
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Brian we've been together for a while so I rather we end our journey on the same place.
OPS_Lt_Delar says:
::nods:: CO: aye sir...::taps the energise button::
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
XO/SO: Having reviewed the data on the Airlians shields I've concluded that if we stay within 3,000,000km of the fleet, I can launch enough firepower to disable a substantial amount of ships.
CSO_Lt_Delar says:
::silently watches the Captain go, wondering if they'll ever see him again::
Host CO_Capt_Black says:
XO/FCO: Take good care of her my friends; I'll be back before you know it...
SO_Ens_Pierce says:
CTO: I tried a trick on the Eridanus last time that kind of worked.. Maybe we could it here too..
CTO_Lt_MacAllister says:
SO: I'm all ears.
Host ECO_Cmdr_Xia says:
ACTION - Before anyone else can log arguments with Black, the Captain vanishes in a shimmer of blue light. Brian Black has played his hand...and now it is fates turn to play. What the outcome is...we will soon see...
