The Seleya has fallen under heavy assault.

The vertically challenged servants of the D'vor have invaded the Seleya with the intent of kidnapping various individuals for unknown reasons. 25 have been taken, amongst them CO Gomes, MO Knight-Sky, and SO Arkoff - as well as the Ambassadors.

Now as the crew works to get their ship into order ... the XO & CTO lead an assault team to re-claim their stolen comrades.

Meanwhile, Gomes and Knight-Sky come face to face with a D'vor ...

ACTION: Doctor Grey barks orders in Sickbay, trying to encourage everyone to calm down while he helps get the fallen Doctor Atreides to a bio bed.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::briefly sees if he can contact Sierra::  ~~~MO:  Sierra, can you tell me what's going on?  Are you injured?  If you can hear me, know that we're doing all we can to get back.~~~

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Steps out of the TL on the lower docking ring deck and scans around, ready to kill any minions he sees. :: CTO:  Were going to need to get to a replicator and come up with something to take this D'vor down.  Phasers aren’t going to cut it.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: You seem to have me at an advantage. Who are you?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ::Cocooned in some unknown substance, Very tired, but makes the effort to try and understand her husband.::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::she speaks slowly, trying to return from the land of the sleepy::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
XO: Any ideas of what exactly to replicate?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks around the deck as they move towards the docking ring, looking for a workshop or a lab.  :: CTO:  A slugthrower, maybe a sonic grenade or two.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Lt., do we have power to the tractor beam should the D'vor try to escape?

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: I am ... was ... still am, I think, the D'vor. We have met many times before Alejandra ... when you and yours blew a hole in my ship when I was an old one ten years ago ... and when you hurt me when I was a baby seven years ago ...

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@~~~~ FCO: With captain... very tired... no idea... ~~~~

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::moves with the XO:: XO: If we have enough power for that, plus the CEO will kill us.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::climbing down a ladder in the Jeffries Tubes between Decks 9 and 10::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::is at least relieved to know that those taken are alive::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::gulps trying to remember:: D'Vor: The ..times...were difficult. We...were..at war. Your..people killed many of ours...we did not understand you

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Shrugs. :: CTO:  She'll live.  :: Locates a workshop and heads inside, scanning around the room with his rifle to make sure their alone. ::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Looks toward the D’vor, trying to make sense of what he just said, because what she just heard did not.::

@ ACTION: Mikternon looks up and cries softly to himself ... Arkoff looks up and gasps ... there are dozens of corpses, clearly taken from the other 20 vessels that were "trapped" in the storm with them ... hovering up there ... drained of their life essences.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: She needed to wake up.  Closes her eyes and internalizes her biosystem.  Has her heart pump blood faster to get whatever had been done to her out of her system.::

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
FCO: Another hour before it's powered, more or less..

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Moves over to a replicator, hoping it's operational. :: CTO: Ok, let’s see....  :: Punches in a few commands scanning the library for a slugthrower and a sonic grenade schematic. ::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::watches the XO curiously::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  I know it's a lot to ask with all you have on your plate, but I'd like to have the tractor beam operational as soon as possible.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::Makes an effort to regain her mind:: D'Vor: What...can we for you?

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Slowly walks around below them:: CO: No, no, no ... you're doing it all wrong, Alejandra. ::Lifts his staff and points:: You can save us.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  If you can scan that vessel, let's see if we can exploit any weaknesses it may have.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: ...How?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Over his shoulder to the CTO.::  CTO:  We used to use these during the occupation, they don’t have any electronics, so they're a little harder to detect.  Sonics grenades are a little different, won’t do much but stun one of us, give you a massive headache for a few days.  I'm betting this thing will like them a lot less.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: FCO: That analysis has been running ever since we got power back... But it's not conclusive yet..

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: You give yourselves, like they did. ::Gestures to the corpses being held further above the CO & MO::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::slides down the last bit of ladder and dashes down the corridor, tagging his badge on the way:: *FCO*: It doesn't have enough power?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Understood.  I guess I'm just anxious to get my hands on those.....whatever they are!

EMMA says: 
::lands behind Tana on Deck 11 and follows after::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: What ...did that accomplish? If its organic matter you need..there are ...other ways

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: After a moment realizes that it was not what she had been struck by earlier that was now the problem, but something continuously being absorbed by their bodies... perhaps what is surrounding them.  With a sigh, opens her eyes.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  I've been told nothing for about another hour or so.

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: Not to bring us back. You killed us. Now you shall rebirth us. It is the only way ... it gives you the direction you've been so desperately seeking.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
:Nods:: FCO: As am I... But we need our captain back before we can really hit them hard..

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Picks ups the slugthrowers and hands one to the CTO.::  CTO:  they only have a few shots each, so save them for the D'vor.  :: hands him a sonic grenade. ::  CTO:  Same for these.  :: Hefts his phaser rifle. :: CTO:  Ok, let’s go.  :: Heads out the door and down the corridor, towards the docking ring. ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: Me? I have my ..direction. It’s on my ship...the Seleya. If you ...take me from this mesh ...we can talk. We can help you with...our technology

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::nods at OPS and tries to look for anything.....anything that could give them the upperhand::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Opens her eyes wide at the D’vor.  Obviously she must have missed something of import... one of the downsides of self-healing.::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::takes a second to figure out which occupation the XO meant as he takes the weapons:: XO: Right. Let’s go kick some butt.

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Laughs for a moment, then mumbles to himself:: Direction ... ?

EO Ens Tana says: 
::turns sideways to slip through a tight spot in the Jeffries tubes on his way back to the Primary EPS Exchange:: *FCO*: Try it again, please Commander. It may have needed to prime the capacitor after the impulse reactors came back online.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
XO: I just hope we know what we're getting into.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@~~~~ FCO: Ethan... I am confused... but if I understand... these D’vor are... dead?  They want us to... rebirth them.~~~~

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  Stand by, trying it now.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::frowns wondering if the creature is not making sense r if her brain is still drowsy, or both::D'Vor: What...exactly do you want from us...from our bodies. You are doing something to them

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Moves cautiously until they reach the docking ring. Toggles the doors open and looks down the darkened corridor of the connecting vessel. :: CTO:  Into the mouth of hell it looks like.  Wonder were all the cannon fodder is.  :: Slowly waves to CTO inside, taking up a cover position just outside the door. ::

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: YOU have direction? I can feel it coming off you all ... you're so lost ... ::It's body starts to extent so it's lifted off the floor so it's closer to them, he pushes the staff toward the CO. Little bolts of electricity bolt out from the blue orb and connect with the CO's head::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  I guess we'll have to give it just a bit more time to gradually power back up.  Hopefully we have it before that vessel decides to leave.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::takes point, wanting to reduce the risk of injury to the XO and makes a hand gesture::

@ ACTION: The CO does not feel any real pain from the act ... only a strange warmth.

EO Ens Tana says: 
::double-taps his combadge to open a second channel:: *Engineering*: Tana to Engineering. I'm on my way back to the PEE to check for anymore of those devices. I think we should start prepping the Core for restart. Standby for restart.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  Did you say dead?  Are you able to hear my thoughts clearly?~~~

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Nods and follows the CTO as they make their way into the D'vor ship. ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::fights what she thinks is an intrusion into her mind::D'Vor: This is..not..the best way to..communicate

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: You play at being a leader ... but guilt still haunts you deep down ... guilt with a name of ... Shane, is it?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
~~~~ FCO: Staff...~~~~

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: Do you really know what you've unleashed upon the Worlds?

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::turns to the first corridor, weapon held up and makes a "clear" gesture::

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Pulls the staff away from the CO, and moves onto the MO::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::sighs as he realizes Sierra is still not speaking clearly::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Scans as they move through the D'vor ship, looking for any sign of the Captain or the other captives. ::

EO Ens Tana says: 
::gets an acknowledgement from Engineering and then stops to answer the commander, waves Emma forward:: EMMA: Start checking for anymore of those devices in the EPS Exchange. ::sees her move on and then answers the other line:: *FCO*: I'm sorry, Commander. But there's not much we can do to speed the process. It won't work until it’s built up charge.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Quietly watches the D’vor, very concerned for her unborn child::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::her face goes very stern for a moment::D'Vor: I let him go yes ... but he chose that. What did I unleash?

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*EO*:  Understood, I appreciate the work.

EMMA says: 
::magnetizes her grip feet and crawls over Tana and climbs into the EPS Exchange, activating her tricorder eye and scanning methodically for more devices, using the previous signatures for a referent::

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::He ignores the CO, and bolts of blue lightning strike out at the MO's head:: MO: I sense uncertainty in you as well ... and ... and ...

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Absentmindedly:: The Seven is Coming. Hnhh. ::Moves away from the MO::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: The others...were not involved ..in the past. Let them go

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::becomes alarmed at what he sensed::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ D'vor: Live is always full of uncertainty, it is what makes life worth living.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: Continues scanning, using the tricorder to manoeuvre about the D'vor ship. :: CTO:  Thing is a damned maze.....I hate organic ships.

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Spins around wildly:: CO: They are involved! They always were! And always will be!

EO Ens Tana says: 
::follows Emma into the PEE, feeling the hair on his body standing on end from the static in the room, the large transformers and coils transforming the power surging out of the warp reactor::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::makes a shh gesture to the XO and raises a hold sign as he checks the next corner::

@ ACTION: ZRANK! Energy bursts fly at the XO & his team. More little folk await them.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Seven... again the seven...::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: Then..you are...as well...the Universe...everything. So what is it that you want from us precisely

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Points a gelled finger that transforms into an accusing claw:: CO: For you to die so my brethren can live again.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: Explain..why can we...not all live

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: With the sacrifice of the others ... you will be the finishing point. We will be reborn.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ ~~~~FCO: Take the staff...~~~~

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::fires his phaser rifle at the little people, using his height as an advantage::

EO Ens Tana says:

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@  :: fires off several rounds and points towards the corridors end. :: CTO:  Same drill as last time, let’s make a path!

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::gulps feeling no alternative:: D'Vor: We are ..far more valuable...alive. We have knowledge...experience to help you. Our peoples can ...work together. This way you are ...perpetuating a war. Creating your kind only to be destroyed again in war..

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: punts the nearest minion like a football, firing and roaring like a berserker. ::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::kicks the closest alien as he fires some more and pushes himself behind a small outcropping::

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: Hssssssssssssssss ... you perpetrated war first! You started this! You and your scientists! You meddle! You poke and prod and make everything wrong!

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::is still unsure as to what Sierra is trying to relay to him::

@ ACTION: The alien that the CTO kicks goes flying, crashing into a few others. The XO & CTO are gradually pushing their way through.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@Self: Maybe now I am getting to him

Auswain says: 
@ D'vor: Yesss ... yesss ... they started it ... and you finish it ... and it is a never ending cycle. Our people know this well. As do they. Perhaps ... ::Falls unconscious::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: This will change...nothing, only...continue the cycle of hate. My people will hate yours if you do this. But if you let us go we can correct what we did

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@:: So much here she did not understand... past that she did not know of.::

EMMA says: 
::gets a positive on her scan and activates her external speaker:: TANA: Device detected.

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Comes forward:: CO: You try to make peace after making war. You force peace where it is not wanted. You think THESE people ... ::Gestures:: ... want peace? They thirst for the end of each other’s lives!

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ XO: Nice! Aloud: Haven't played racquetball for a while! ::uses his rifle and swings at one of the aliens like a bat::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: grunts as one of the minions bites his leg, hammers the butt of his rifle into the back of its head.  Then fires a few more wide bursts. ::  CTO:  Youd....think...they'd get the...damned...point.....by now!  :: pulls one off his back and flips it against a wall.

@ ACTION: A lot of the aliens start to run into the darkness and hide for a moment. The XO & CTO suddenly hear a massive buzzing sound ...

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::yells over the noise:: XO: Looks like... ::pauses at the noise::... uh..oh?

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: shakes his head and ducks behind a bulkhead....or whatever this thing that looks like one is. :: CTO:  Ah hell, now what?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@D'Vor: They just made peace....with each other. We..witnessed it. It takes time but it has happened before and it will again, as long as intelligent sentient beings ...cooperate

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Very quietly:: D'Vor: War is rarely wanted by the masses; it is forced upon all by leaders who are blind to everything but their wants.

@ ACTION: Bird like robots come flying around a corner, mechanical saws extending from their talons. They fly toward the XO & CTO.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@XO: Better not be wasps. Can't stand them.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::throws a grenade into the vicinity of the oncoming birds and immediately starts firing::

Dr. Grey says: 
*Bridge* With power returning, we're starting to get in various wounded from the earlier attacks ... do you have anyone you can spare? I'll take Ms. Ivanova too, if she's free!

EO Ens Tana says: 
::moves over to her side and nods:: EMMA: Okay. Let's attach the spreader. ::removes the hydraulic spreader from the magnetic clips on EMMA's back and slides it under the device, activating pump and stepping back:: Emma, keep looking for more.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: Ducks and lets them fly past, taking aim and firing. ::  CTO:  I'm starting to really hate this race.

SO Ens. Arkoff says: 
<W> CO: Ma'am, you've fought these things before ... how can we kill it?

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Taps a button on the console before answering the call:: *Grey*: Pandora here.. I'll look into it, I'll call you back in a moment..

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ XO: About time... ::ducks to his knees and changes his exhausted power cell::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::hasn't thought about where the CIV is::

@ ACTION: One of the bird-bots explodes in the first pass from the CTO's firing ... the others come around for another assault ...

EO Ens Tana says: 
::watches the hydraulic spreader work and then hears a satisfying clank as the device falls to the ground:: ::kicks it over to the corner::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Sensing only confusion from her husband, she focuses on the staff, getting a mental picture and relays it to him, wishing she could mentally move objections.::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Have her report to sickbay.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Glances at the FCO:: FCO: Yeah.. I was thinking that... But where is she?

The D`Vor says: 
@ ALL: No matter ... it is time to finish this ... ::Lowers himself to the floor, where the short aliens are chattering noisily::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::moves to the side behind what passes for a bulkhead and uses it for cover and fires more in a rhythmic pattern::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
~~~~ FCO: Running out of... time...~~~~

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@:: Fires a few more bursts, then flips his exhausted rifle up and grabs the end of it like a bat, swatting one of the drones as it screams by. ::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@Arkoff: We can't ... D'Vor: You will not fix anything with this

@ ACTION: The XO's arm is cut as he smashes one of the bird-bots, causing it's shrapnel to fly everywhere.

The D`Vor says: 
@ CO: I will fix me. I will fix mine. You are too broken to fix ... you just don't realize it yet.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::sees the blood spurt a little and jumps out of his cover in a fury of phaser fire trying to take the three steps towards the XO::

@::remembers a saying from her youth::D'Vor: While there is life .... there is...hope

@::  Waves off the CTO. :: CTO:  I'm alright, get the rest of those things!

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Looks up and points with the staff and a hiss:: CO: No hope. These mistakes cannot be taken back! You will pay!

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Checks the internal sensors to find Ivanova::

@ ACTION: The trapped crew can start to hear battle in the distance. The D'vor seems oblivious, despite the panicked speak of his servants.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks down as his bionic arm and grimaces. :: Self:  Yeah, that’s gonna take some work to fix.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*XO*:  Commander, I know you're working your way towards our captive crew, but for some reason, if you are able to destroy the staff the D'vor hold, it might help.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::doesn't argue with the XO, this isn't the time. Takes a more offensive approach moving forward as he fires::

EO Ens Tana says:

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::yells as much as she can:: D'Vor: Mistakes can be put in the past...the Future can be different! If you continue this, you will destroy what you have accomplished so far. My people will not rest

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: Pulls his hand phaser and fires at the drones, slapping his combadge. :: *FCO*:  Understood.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Quietly waits... a sense of helplessness of the situation making her angry.::

@ ACTION: All the bird-bots go down ... it gets disturbingly quiet in the area, except for a gradual thump THUMP that they feel through the deckplates below them, as if something were beginning to start up.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Sees her location:: *CIV*: Pandora to Ivanova.. Your presence is requested in sickbay..

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::grabs the last bot as it falls and slams it against the wall:: XO: I suggest we don't wait.

@ :: Turns to the CTO. :: CTO:  Lets finish this.  :: Jogs down the corridor, scanning as they move. ::

Ens. Mitchell says: 
::standing in front of the warp core control console with the chief engineer:: *EO*: We're ready. You'd better get out of there, and Emma too. The cycle-up EMP might fry her circuits, Ensign Tana.

@D'Vor: Don't! She is worth more to you alive, she is a healer. We are all worth more to you alive

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::angrily::  OPS:  Lock on to her badge and transport her to sickbay directly.

EO Ens Tana says:

::suddenly and quickly stands up from his chair::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@:: Doubting she misunderstood, she lets anger flow through her as she tries to break through the cocoon::  CO: Not your... fault.  But we need to talk when we are free...

@ ::takes a position on one knee to the right of the doorway and carefully aims - left - right - left picking off one enemy at a time, ignoring the status of the crewmembers so as not to be distracted::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@::Seeing those enter calls out.::  XO: The staff... destroy it.

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: Fires a shotgun blast into the oncoming minions and then takes aim at the D'vor's staff, cutting loose a round. ::

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Nods, she makes her way towards the biobed:: Dr. Grey: Hm. ::Turns to face the doctor, waiting patiently for orders from him::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::provides covering fire for the XO to concentrate on the staff::

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@CTO/XO: And the machines...they will kill everyone

The D`Vor says: 
@ ::Moves as if like water, shifting its weight and form, flying through the air and dodging machines with its staff in tow::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
~~~MO:  That's our plan.  I've relayed that to the XO who should be at your position.~~~

@ ACTION: The tubules get ready to drain the life energies and liquids of the crew ...

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ CO: Not as long as I can help it! ::keeps up suppressive fire::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: Points at the machinery. :: CTO:  Wide dispersal!  Take it out, take it all out!  :: Fires at the machinery. ::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@~~~~FCO: They are... here~~~~

@ ACTION: Phaser bursts rip through the machinery at the XO's orders, a few tubules explode before they can strike the SO.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::doesn't vocally answer the XO, but lets his actions do it as he turns and changes his attack pattern, strafing to the right::

@ ACTION: The gel holdings begin to lower slowing with some of the machinery destroyed, setting off the gradual release process.

@ ACTION: Of course, this brings them closer to the battle below ...

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::gets to the first crewmember, the CO, and assesses her situation to see how to rescue her:: CO: Don't suppose I can just pull you out?

@ ACTION: A few leap onto the XO's arms, trying to rip off his bionic parts.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::starts feelng a bit less restrained and fights to get even looser. will think of the battle later::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::assists the CO and tries to remove her from her cocoon::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: Fires every blast left in the shotgun at the D'vor before he goes down to the floor, wrestling with the minions. ::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  I don't suppose we are able to get a lock on any of our captive crewmembers yet, can we?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Keeping a close eye on that darn staff, hoping she is not wrong, returns to trying to break loose from the cocoon.::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: gouges a minion in the eye with his thumb, smashing an elbow into another. ::  Minions: Get the hell off me!

@ ACTION: The CTO frees the CO ... just as there is a horrifying screech ... the D'vor comes from the darkness at the two of them, it's tendrils hardened into blades and it's staff ready to fire.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@::smiles at the CTO the best she can and helps him free her and literally falls into his arms from lack of energy::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
@ ::slaps his combadge onto the CO:: *Seleya*: Lock onto the Captain’s combadge, emergency transport!

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
@CTO: The others ... quickly

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
@ :: takes aim from the floor and fires at the D'vor's staff. :: Prophets:  Please......

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::looks over at OPS::  OPS:  Transport directly to sickbay!

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@CTO: The staff...

@ ACTION: KA-BOOM! The staff explodes ... the D'vor roars and comes at the XO.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods, initiating transport:: FCO: Beaming them all now....

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Turning to see what happened...::  CTO: Never mind.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
FCO: Some sort of charge is building, almost like a self-destruct...

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Coming from the D'vor vessel?

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: With a sigh, relaxes.::

@ ACTION: All the surviving good guys disappear into a transporter beam ... reappearing in a crumpled, dirty, and exhausted mess on Sickbay's floor.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Nods:: FCO: Yeah.. But it seems like some vortex is being generated...

@ ACTION: The injured D'vor lands in the spot where the XO last was ... and roars "Nooooooooooooooooooo!"

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::lowers his phaser and lets out a huge breath, obviously exhausted::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*XO*:  Commander, I suggest you find a way to get that vessel off our hull and fast!

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks around for a second, then taps his combadge. :: *FCO*:  All accounted for, lets get the hell out of here!

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
OPS:  Shields at maximum?

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::falls to the familiar floor of a federation ship::CTO: Thank you :: lets herself be on the floor::

ACTION: The D'vor dreadnaught starts to glow more and more, while still attached to the Seleya's hull.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
FCO: As maximum as they will get, given our condition...

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
CO: You owe me a drink ::smiles and moves away letting the medical staff get on helping those who need it::

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*XO*:  We're ready to leave, but that vessel is about to self-destruct.  We need to get it off of the Seleya and quick!

Mikternon says: 
::Starts kissing the floor of Sickbay, thanking the Gods::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
::Slowly shifts, reaching for something to help pull her up from the floor.::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
*FCO*:  Initiate manoeuvre A'an 01 theta, it’s in the flight buffer, shake the damn thing off!!

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
*XO*:  I'm doing the best I can, but it's not working.  Perhaps blowing out that section of the ship might do the trick.

OPS Lt Pandora says: 
::Tries the tractor beam again, to pull the D'Vor ship out of the Seleya's hull::

ACTION: SHREEAAAKKK! The D'vor vessel rips off finally as the Seleya pulls away, thanks to the combined force of their powered up impulse engines and the tractor beam.

FCO Cmdr Knight says: 
::engages engines to get away as fast as he can::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::returns his weapons to their places and heads to the bridge::

ACTION: The D'vor vessel glows more and more, and starts to fall apart ... disappearing piece by piece rapidly into what appears to be a vortex. Soon, it vanishes altogether.

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::goes into the land of the unconscious as the Drs take care of what is left of her::

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
@ :: Unsteadily leans against the cabinet, not needing to direct her staff as they are all doing their jobs.::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Falls back to the deck and grunts. :: All:  I hate diplomatic mission.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::walks onto the bridge, filthy from all the battle but anxious to finish the job::

ACTION: Medical personnel help those injured from the fight with the D'vor and their minions, and the crew deal with the aftermath.

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Raises in alarm as she notices the materializing Captain on the sickbay floor, yelping, she moves to the Captain's side, immediately dropping to her level:: CO: Captain? Are you alright?

Mikternon says: 
::Leaps into the XO's arms and hugs him:: XO: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

CO Cmdr Gomes says: 
::manages to open her eyes as she hears a familiar voice:: CIV: I have never been happier to hear you Samantha

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Gets to his feet groggily and pulls the ambassador to his feet. :: MIkternon:  Your most welcome ambassador.  The doctors will take care of you from here, I need to get to the bridge.

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::checks tactical scanners and sees the ship gone, and lets out a huge sigh on the bridge::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Moves over to the CO. :: CO:  Everything in working order?

CIV Yn1 Ivanova says: 
::Frowns, she sighs and shakes her head:: Dr. Grey: I think she lost it, Doctor.

MO Dr Knight-Sky says: 
:: Lets someone finally assist her as she sends a mental thought to her husband she and the baby were alright.::

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Taps his combadge. :: *FCO*:  All accounted for, well done commander.

Dr. Grey says: 
::Noting that the CMO somehow miraculously has healed himself, laughs at the CIV:: CIV: I think she's just fine, Ms. Ivanova ...

XO Lt Cmdr Aan says: 
:: Looks around the sickbay for a moment, then heads out the door and heads to the bridge. ::

CTO Ens Redwood says: 
::wonders if he'd kept a leprechaun they'd have given him a pot of gold::
