SO: Kalla, do you scan any other non-Federation ships in the area?

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
::inwardly grimaces at that statement by Stanley::

Host VADM_Stanley says:
COM: Scimitar: Highly unlikely. If they head in to the Cyclodius system, you have my authority to use whatever force necessary to protect yourself and the base.

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
FCO: Scanning...

CMO: Sorry...

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
COM: Stanley: So...what are our orders for the moment, Admiral?

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
::scanning system for non-Fed ships::

Host VADM_Stanley says:
COM: Scimitar: As stated before, stay in system 'til we arrive. ROE remain the same for the Qualtin system.  However, treat the Cyclodius system as Federation space.

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
MO: OK. no problem...just try to be on time next time...

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
COM: Stanley: Understood, sir.

FCO_Ensign_More says:
:wonders why Kalla is taking so long::

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
FCO: No ships in immediate vicinity.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
COM: Stanley: Is that all, sir?

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
TO: So it seems. We'll have to wait for Stanley to arrive to be sure, though.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
::closes channel:: ACO: If the Admiral's going to be on board, sir, I'd assume we would be the linchpin.

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
AXO: Right.

FCO_Ensign_More says:
::finds something other then Kalla to stare at::

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
ACO: How about battle and attack plans; should the crew start formulating them?

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
::feels relieved...can now concentrate on scanners::

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
MO: I want to include a few more drugs like trioxin.

CNS_Ensign_Tiraz says:
Computer: Deliver this message to Ensign Ahkileez as soon as he is off duty: We've got to get together when our schedules match. I haven't had a chance to talk with you since I've arrived. Contact me as soon as you get a chance. Maybe I can show you my adaptations to our holoprograms...computer, end recording, save for later delivery.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
::notices the scanner readings on the wall panel:: ACO: Sir, sensors detect four incoming Federation vessels.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
ACO: Recommend we begin running scans using Romulan D7 cloaking frequencies. The Qualloye are the only fleet out here equipped with cloaking technology.

MO_Ensign_Archer says:
::goes and gets the trioxin from the med cupboard::

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
AXO: Do it. CSO: Acknowledged.

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:

CNS: Well...you're welcome to wait with us.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
::takes center seat...not going to let anything keep him from getting back to his wife::

Host Bob_Hope says:
COM: Scimitar: Roger.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
CSO: I'd assume so...one Saber-class and one Defiant-class should be enough.

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
CMO: Thank you.

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
::watching enemy vessels getting closer on sensor monitor::

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
*Astrometrics* Work on boosting those sensor frequencies!

MO_Ensign_Archer says:
CNS: Just wanted to say hello and welcome.

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
CMO/MO: Mind if I get something to drink? ::walks away from the MO and requests a root beer on the rocks from the replicator, counting to 10::

Host AGM-Rob says:
ACTION: The Scimitar and company arrive in the Qualtin system.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
ACO: Still no offensive moves by the enemy, sir.

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
::looks back at the MO:: MO: Thank you. ::attempts to smile::

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
CTO: Target weapons, then engines.

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
*CEO* We might get in a chase situation. Boost the warp core power.

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
::monitoring sensors::

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
CSO: We have just entered the Qualtin system.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
ACO: We're arriving in the Qualtin system, sir.

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
ACO: The Galor-class vessel is breaking orbit, sir.

FCO_Ensign_More says:
ACO: Slowing to impulse.

CEO_LTJG_Craven says:
*CSO* Roger, I'll see how much higher I can get it.

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
SO: Good, look for any cloaked ships.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
CTO: Be prepared to target the Galor-class warp blades.

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
CNS: So...first assignment?

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
ACO: We're being hailed, sir.

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
CSO: Yes, sir. The sensors have been boosted by astrometrics now.

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
::configures targeting systems for warp engines::

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
AXO: Rear sensors show nothing pursuing us.

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
::thinks back to her interpersonal communications classes and decides to try again::

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
AXO: Put it through.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
::puts on screen::

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
::walks back with root beer:: CMO: Yes.

TO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
AXO: Sir, if i can interject, I would recommend targeing the "spine" of the Galor. It will cripple its power.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
::shushes TO::

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
CMO/MO: How long have you been assigned to the Scimitar?

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
::using the extra power provided by astrometrics, she sets up the long-range sensors to detect even a Vulcan speck of dust.::

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
::focusing weapons lock on Galor-class warp blades::

Host Galor_CO says:
COM: Scimitar: We told you to leave our system. Yet you invade again. Prepare to die!

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
CNS: Don't ask. Too kong to remember...

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
::smiles::

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
::scanning::

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
CMO: That long?

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
*Sickbay* Prepare for casualties.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
COM: Galor: Your ships have invaded Federation space and threatened Federation ships. Withdraw at once.

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
::is intimidated::

MO_Ensign_Archer says:
::is daydreaming again::

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
ACO: Phasers charged and torpedos locked and ready, sir.

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
All: They're diverting power to their weapon systems!

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
::cringes:: CNS: Put it this way...I was assigned on stardate 9807.15...though I haven't been onboard as long as some.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
::hopes the Galor CO heard CTO's last::

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
::looks at the CMO:: I should tell you, I am an MD.

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
::is there something behind that Galor ship, can't be sure yet.::

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
::prepares to divert emergency power::

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
::scans all around the planet for any hidden ships::

Host Galor_CO says:
COM: Scimitar: The Qualtin system is not Federation space, nor is any system within a half day's travel...you invaded us. And I thought the Federation was not a conquering empire...you make those barbarian Klingons seem nice.

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
CNS: Should come in handy...

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
CNS: I may end up calling for you more often.

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
CSO: Sir, picking up faint signs of cloaked vessels. Still scanning to ascertain number or class.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
COM: Galor: I am Klingon. The system we have just left is Federation-controlled space and your ships have threatened Federation ships. I repeat...withdraw or we will fire.

TO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
::sets phasers to full power mode for the Galor::

CEO_LTJG_Craven says:
::makes sure emergency power is at full just in case::

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
CMO: I would be happy to be of help. Is there anything we should be getting prepared here? Or are you all set for casualties?

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
AXO: Scans show a number of cloaked vessels!

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
::sends text message:: CTO: "When we're attacked...fire three quantorps each at warp blades...use varying frequencies"

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
CNS: All set for it...

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
::scanning furiously to find out number of ships.::

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
ACO: Those would be the Qualloye, sir.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
CSO: How many?

MO_Ensign_Archer says:
::comes out of her daydream:: CMO, CNS: ...did I miss anything important?

Host Galor_CO says:
COM: Scimitar: That explains your chest-slapping monkey-like behavior...and the system you just left is not Federation space, it is unclaimed space...and we never entered it.

Host Galor_CO says:
::cuts the channel::

CNS_Ensign_Tira says:
::prepares self mentally for casualties::

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
::reads text and looks up at AXO...puzzled::

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
ACO: Don't know yet. Trying to find out.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
AXO: They've terminated the link, sir.

SO_Ensign_Kalla says:
CSO: Still scanning. Difficult to be sure.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
COM: Galor: The Federation has claimed it. Withdraw from this system. This is your final warning.

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
::scanning furiously::

Host AGM-Rob says:
ACTION: The distance between the Scimitar and Galor-class vessel gets smaller and smaller.

ACO_CDR__Bandra says:
Self: Damn.

AXO_LCDR_Andersen says:
CTO: If we run a frequency-shift pattern with our quantorps, we can increase the probability of breaching their shields.

CSO_Ensign_Cartigan says:
SO: Give me your best estimate.

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
::focusing scans on Galor-class vessel::

FCO_Ensign_More says:
ACO: Sir, should I move us away?

TO_Ensign_Ahkileez says:
:;sets zero-point energy on the quantum torpedoes to varied frequencies::

CTO_LCDR_Buchanan says:
AXO: Acknowledged.

CMO_LCDR_Dr_McCellan says:
::wonders what it's gonna be like with a CNS and an MO...CNS isn't in his department, but still weird...again::

Host AGM-Rob says:
ACTION: The Scimitar message is met with static...as the Galor-class ship gets closer...all weapons locked and loaded on the Scimitar...

Host Galor says:
############### Pause Operation White Knight ###############
