Host Buzzard says:
The USS Seleya is stuck in an alternate universe, one where the Borg have conquered the Alpha Quadrant and have essentially turned the once proud StarFleet of this universe into nothing more than bands of pirates.

Host Buzzard says:
Captain Lira-Bolitho of the USS Seleya has lost command of her ship, her crew have been 'spaced' by the alternate Bolitho, threatened by the Borg who tried to make a deal with them.  What next lies around the corner for Captain Lira-Bolitho and her crew this week

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Looks around and frowns::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Shakes his head:: All: Figures

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Falls to the deck, the pain of the phaser injuries is getting th better of him::

CTO_Darklighter says:
:: Looks around::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: I think you may have been right

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho> ::Steps forward with Ivanova:: CO: Welcome back Captain......

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Glares at Bolitho:: CO: Well I never thought you were into games on this level Captain

XO_Muir says:
:: Turns around to find the CNS again injured, and begins to tend to him ::

CIV_Kavek says:
:: Really doesn't care what happens now::

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Is still shaken from meeting her evil alternate self....::

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Moans plaintively::

XO_Muir says:
CNS: You really need to stop getting hurt...

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: It's ... still... the phaser’s hits... sir.

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho> CO: Your in no position to judge me Captain, until you've been through what we've been through

CIV_Kavek says:
:: Looks at the captain and commander:: XO: This is honestly starting to tick me off. I've had it. They can kill me for all I care.

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Isn't it you that's supposed to be treating us? :: tries to put on a brave face, while he feels for any broken bones ::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Is being stubborn :: Bolitho: Judge you .. I never have.... but lets get one thing straight .. I will not give you my command codes ....

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: ::Laughs weakly:: I handle.... mental problems.  Bolitho...  probably needs ..more of my help...

OPS_Jameson says:
::Looks straight at Bolitho ::  Bolitho: I think I can safely say that we were willing to be sucked into oblivion once in order to stop you,  so we'll do it again

XO_Muir says:
CNS: He'll be needing more than that if I get my hands on him... Now lay still...

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Gasps as the XO hits a tender spot::

Ivanova says:
:: Glances happily at the crew, she grins widely as she hears the CIV's comment. She turns to face Bolitho:: Bolitho: Can I? :: Chuckles madly::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Kneels next to the XO::  XO:  I'm with you.

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Indeed. No rash decisions, though, Ensign.

XO_Muir says:
:: Hears Ivanova and looks over ::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Small. Sarcastic smile:: XO:  Me?  Rash?

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: I gather... you have plenty... combat experience... Ensign.

Host Buzzard says:
:: Nods at OPS comments:: OPS: I know and you've proven it....however I still have this tranwarp hub problem any idea's how to solve it for me?

CSO_Hazzem says:
:: Watches Ivanova::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho> Ivanova: No, be nice to our...guests

FCO_Aan says:
:: Stands back up::  CNS:  ::Nods::  ::Grimly::  CNS:  More than most should ever have.

XO_Muir says:
FCO: Hold this part down and put pressure on it. :: points' to a spot on the CNS' leg ::

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Looks thoughtful::  Bolitho: Hmmmm...let me think about it.  NO

XO_Muir says:
FCO: I have some... business to attend to.

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: Got... any ideas?  :gasps as the XO finds another tender spot::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Kneels back down:;  XO:  Yes sir.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
Bolitho: We gave you an Option to work with us ... now if you don't mind We will return to our ship

XO_Muir says:
:: Steps up, fluffs his hair, and then turns to Bolitho with all of the arrogance becoming of his family's legacy ::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho> OPS: Suits me, I do things the hard way ::grins and turns to Lira-Bolitho:: CO: And why should I do that Captain?

FCO_Aan says:
:: Nods::  CNS:  A few, but we need to get out of here first.

XO_Muir says:
Bolitho: Why the hell should we help you?

Ivanova says:
:: Frowns, she nods and quickly dismisses the Captain as she turns to face the crew once again. With a quick raise of her eyebrow her eyes lock on one officer in particular. Smiling, she walks towards the CSO::

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: Getting out... is... I believe... the problem we need....  to solve.

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>XO: Because you have no choice?

XO_Muir says:
Bolitho: You've stolen our vessel, you've threatened to kill us all, you've taken away our only chance of getting home... and, perhaps even worse, you've betrayed the principles of a Federation you took an oath to protect!

CSO_Hazzem says:
:: Tracks Ivanova down with his eyes, watching her getting closer and closer::

XO_Muir says:
Bolitho: Not to sound too Klingon like, but, you have no honour

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
Bolitho: Because if you want any chance of destroying that Hub ... you need us .... and there’s not much either of us can do standing in a cargo bay is there ...... now if you have better ideas of killing two birds with one stone .. Then I am all ears

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Moves over and stands next to the XO, slowly regaining her natural colour::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>XO: Look around Adam, there is no Federation, just people trying to survive, and were going to do anything and everything we can in order to make sure we do survive....

FCO_Aan says:
:: Grimly::  CNS:  Agreed....

XO_Muir says:
Bolitho: Give us back the Seleya, and we'll consider helping you. Otherwise, you will not get any help from this crew.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Looks at her XO sternly trying to calm him down without any words::

Ivanova says:
:: Passes the XO on her ways, she shakes her head in annoyance. She pauses and turns to regard the XO and the Captain:: Bolitho: I've told you they would not understand, yet you did not listen. I once again suggest we do what agreed on before.. They.. came here. It's our only chance Bolitho!

OPS_Jameson says:
Bolitho: And that gives you the right to break the oaths you took?  Because YOU feel there is no federation

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Shakes her head at her crew::

XO_Muir says:
Bolitho: To quote a great Starfleet Captain, "Once we turn our back on our principles, we stop being human". This isn't about the Federation anymore, that much is true; but if you want any chance of succeeding in keeping your people alive, you'll give us back the Seleya; or you'll perish with us.

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>::Looks at Muir and Ivanova starting to getting really annoyed::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
All: Now please calm down this is getting us know where

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: Help me stand.

XO_Muir says:
:: Tries to get a handle on his anger ::

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Takes in a breath through clenched teeth::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Nods::  ::Helps the CNS up::

CSO_Hazzem says:
:: Stands calm, crossing his arms, watching everyone specially Ivanova::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Supports the CNS as much as possible::

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Gasps a little as he is helped to his feet:: FCO: Get us closer to the CO.  I....  need to hear what’s going on.

CIV_Kavek says:
:: Simply watches the crew::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Moves up towards the captain::

Ivanova says:
:: Throws her hands in the air in annoyance, she frowns and resumes her way towards the CSO. She slows down as she reaches him, for now remaining silent beside him::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>CO: Tam walk with me ::takes a few steps away from the crew::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Looks at her crew:: All: Now that you have calmed yourself .. lets not forget that we are SF officers ... ::looks at Bolitho and nods and goes over to him ::

XO_Muir says:
:: Shoots Bolitho the dirtiest look he can muster... and realises how much he is beginning to resemble his father ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
:: Stares at Ivanova right in her eyes, not blinking, not moving, just staring::

FCO_Aan says:
::Growling::  XO: This is insane.  He has to know by now that there’s no advantage in this.

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Catches the thought from Muir, and a faint smile crosses her face as she thinks of her own mother::

XO_Muir says:
FCO: The Richard Bolitho in our reality was intelligent and prudent, and stood by the Federation charter if nothing else.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Waits for Bolitho to start talking ::

XO_Muir says:
FCO: With this Richard Bolitho, I'm beginning to think, anything is possible.

CNS_DeLindt says:
XO: I agree with our pilot.  In the words of one of my professors, "You can't talk to a psycho like you talk to a normal person."  He's definitely far gone.

Ivanova says:
:: Chuckles:: XO: Yeah, and where is he now? 

XO_Muir says:
CNS: Let's hope the Captain understands that.

FCO_Aan says:
XO:  I can understand his fear, but from a tactical standpoint, there’s no success in this

CSO_Hazzem says:
Ivanova: You killed him

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>CO: Tam, your going back to your ship, the plan will continue as before however Hazzem will not leave your ship ....I still retain the capability to practically shut down your ship at a moments notice, so if even one phaser is locked onto this ship....you and your crew will die....Do you understand me....This is a yes or No answer

XO_Muir says:
Ivanova: I'm sorry, I didn't realise you were still able to speak. We'll have to do something about that.

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Nods sadly at the XO:: FCO, XO: Gentlemen, do you mind if I... sit down a bit...

XO_Muir says:
CNS: By all means.

Ivanova says:
:: Smiles faintly at the XO's direction:: XO: Bring it on then, Starfleet.

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Is just quiet, listening to her comrades::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Helps him rest, leans the CNS against the wall::

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Sits down, slowly::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Nods and looks at him:: Bolitho: What is your problem with Hazzem ...... and why did you put us through that...... I thought you trusted me... or am I slightly different from your Tam

XO_Muir says:
Ivanova: One of the first things I ever learnt was not to busy myself with those not worth my time.

XO_Muir says:
:: Turns away, and towards the CTO :::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>::Raises his hand:: CO: Yes or No Tam!

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Holding up okay, Lieutenant?

FCO_Aan says:
::Glances over at the XO and Ivanova::  ::Shakes his head, sarcastically::  ::Whispers::  CNS:  Its like listening to Normans kids.

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: Norman?

CTO_Darklighter says:
:: Looks at Muir:: XO: Just fine sir

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
:: Looks at him for a while:: Bolitho: Fine yes but I want to be briefed on any plans you have

FCO_Aan says:
:: Stands back up::  CNS:  Friend of mine.

Ivanova says:
::Turns to face the CSO:: CSO: Am I worth your time, Hazzem?

CNS_DeLindt says:
FCO: Okay.  ::Despite his pain, is still sizing up the entire crew::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Walks back towards the XO::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>CO: Plan of attack remains the same. You clear the path and enter the hub, we destroy it 10 seconds after you've gone in

CSO_Hazzem says:
:: Stares back at Ivanova again, and stays silent::

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Moves to sit on the floor against a wall, closing her eyes, and starts a regime of controlled breathing and mind exercises in case she is needed later::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
Bolitho: But we needed Hazz to deal with it first so we get to our time line

XO_Muir says:
:: Looks over at Ops, then the FCO, and finally the CNS ::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho> ::Stares at her for a few seconds and then nods:: Agreed, but he leaves now and Ivanova goes with him

FCO_Aan says:
:: In a low voice::  XO:  What do you think?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
Bolitho: Agreed, ::Still looking at him thinking about something :: Will you be aboard our ship or your own

Ivanova says:
:: Raises an eyebrow in wonder:: CSO: You may nothing, but you're forgetting something. I can feel what you're not saying, one of the perks of being assimilated.. A little bit like you, yes? ::Smiles widely, her head slightly turns back as she overhears something::

XO_Muir says:
ALL: Stay sharp, we're about to be returned to our Seleya. Once we are aboard, I want everyone at battle stations, and focus your thoughts on the mission on hand. Let's not let anger be a factor here.

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Takes a deep breath, holding it for a few seconds, and expelling it in an usual length of time::

Host Buzzard says:
<Bolitho>CO: This ship, this mission starts in 5 minutes Captain ::taps a button and the crew and Ivanova beam back over to the Sovereign class ship::

CNS: I'll go.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CSO / Ivanova: you will report to the shuttle bay And leave now .. you know your orders

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Watches the Borg vessels ignoring the shuttle:: Ivanova: Mine too, we're going to need them when we get into the hub, the drones will treat us like we're drones as well

XO_Muir says:
Ops: Re-rotue emergency power to shields and weapons...

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CTO: Rotate shields and do not let the Borg get through them

Ivanova says:
@CSO: Spoken like a true hero, increasing speed. ::Switches her console active, she increases the speed slightly:: The Borg will never attack with ten cubes, that will not be efficient.

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Aye sir

CNS_DeLindt says:
:: Monitors the warp engine output::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Is tapping panels as Muir speaks to her::  XO: Already on it Sir

Host Buzzard says:
COMM: CO: Hazzem and Ivanova have 5 minutes Tam, those are only 12 cubes there we can still make it through with a mad dash, but if any more arrive, were in trouble

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Eyebrows narrow again:: COM:XO: Thanks for the tip, Commander. Cutting communication lines in case the Borg picks them up. I will contact you when our mission is over

FCO_Aan says:
:: Manoeuvres towards the centre of the hub::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
COMM: Bolitho: And where will that leave you if they are not all destroyed ?

XO_Muir says:
:: Looks a little strangely at the com, not appreciating his orders being shrugged off, but continues anyway... ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@Ivanova: Comm. Lines are cut. ::Looks at Ivanova:: I'm no hero, just a man who went through.......alot

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Inform Commander Hazzem they have five minutes

XO_Muir says:
CO: Commander Hazzem does not wish to be contacted by the Seleya until his mission is over, ma'am.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: understood Commander

XO_Muir says:
:: Gives her a 'so-there', look ::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Brings the shuttle to docking speed:: Ivanova: We might as well dock, make it look normal, agreed?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
OPS: Do you still have a lock on them

Host Buzzard says:
COMM:CO: I need a path, not Borg wreckage Tam, and your ship would never survive combat with 12 cubes

OPS_Jameson says:
::Grins at Tam::  CO: Of course, how could you doubt me

FCO_Aan says:
:: Accesses emergency power console, increases power to shields and weapons::  XO:  I got it.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
COMM: Bolitho: ::looks at him :: Then a path you will get..... you know what the Borg is capable of Richard.. any information would be good right now

Ivanova says:
@Hazzem: Perhaps I can make things more bearable.. ::Switches her console to the docking systems display, she initiates the landing procedure::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Watches, never thought of making a good team with Ivanova::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
OPS: I never doubt you

Host Buzzard says:
COMM:CO: Try a few old atmospheric dogfight manoeuvres, loop the loop, spins, you'll get them confused for a few seconds, make your first shots count

CNS_DeLindt says:
::Still watching engineering with one eye, the rest of the situation at the same time::

OPS_Jameson says:
::Runs over to the panel that the FCO had just accessed, and returns the adjustments to their original design::  FCO: Unless you want atmospheric pressure to disappear, I suggest that you don't mess about with my systems....you have all the power I can give you.  So use it

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The shuttle auto docks with the Borg control centre

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Nods and looks at Bolitho slightly sad:: Comm: Bolitho: Understood ..... Good luck Captain.. I wish the best for you and your crew

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CTO: Did you get that ?

CTO_Darklighter says:
CO: Yes captain

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
FCO: ETA for intercept of Borg Vessels

Host Buzzard says:
COMM: CO: Thank you Captain ::Nods and manages a smile, before the channel closes::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@::Shuts down the shuttle, and opens the hatch. Takes his Tricorder containing the program, and walks to the hatch::

FCO_Aan says:
CO: 1 minutes

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Sits down on her chair and watches him fade from the screen and lets out a large sigh::

Ivanova says:
@::Follows the CSO, closely:: CSO: Something doesn’t feel right here, if you ask me.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The hatch automatically opens for Hazzem and Ivanova

OPS_Jameson says:
:: Continues to monitor power, but speaks quietly::  CO: You think Hazz will be alright?  You, me and him are older than this ship....

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
::Leans back in her chair .. Slightly disturbed by all the events::

CSO_Hazzem says:
@Ivanova: Why do you say that? :: walks to the nearest Borg console:: one thing I love about the Borg, is that they can be hacked anywhere on their ships ::smirks::

FCO_Aan says:
CO:  Were coming up on the first Borg ship.

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
XO: Any word form Commander Hazzem ?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
FCO: Understood

XO_Muir says:
CO: No, he's maintaining communications silence.

Host Buzzard says:
ACTION: The Cube begins scanning both Seleya's

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
ALL: Heads up We are about to start a mini war

FCO_Aan says:
All:  Here it comes...

Ivanova says:
@CSO: That's not what I'm talking about.. ::Turns to face the console:: Any luck?

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
FCO: Evasive manoeuvres

CNS_DeLindt says:
CTO: Lay it on Darklighter, and damned be him that first cries "Hold, enough!"

OPS_Jameson says:
::Takes a deep breath and prepares herself::

FCO_Aan says:
:: Pulls into erratic manoeuvres::  CO:  Aye Captain.

CTO_Darklighter says:
::Just looks at the CNS::

Host CO_Lira-Bolitho says:
CTO: Fire at will and make sure they hit with an Impact

XO_Muir says:
CTO: Begin posting Security Teams at key access points. Have them set their phaser’s to a rotating frequency... we don't want any alternate reality Borg stowaways.
