Host Jafo says:
Star Trek: Apache - Episode #10
Week # 8
Mission: "Resurrection"

Host Jafo says:
The ship that was destroyed by the Apache has been positively identified as the IKS Pagh. Commander Klag, held in Apache's brig, turns out as well to be her First Officer. After a brief exchange of weapons fire, Apache quickly disabled the Pagh's weapons and propulsion systems.

Host Jafo says:
Unfortunately, the Pagh's crew chose to use the vessels self-destruct device. This has left Captain Turnbull and her crew baffled, but Commander Klag has indicated such actions would be very unusual for his Captain, Captain Kargan.

Host Jafo says:
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the Apache crew, the away team works to repair damage to the real IKS Pagh. Ensign Xavier and her double have found their way beyond the scattering field and have been beamed back to the Apache. Hopefully they will be able to answer the crews many questions.

OPS_Lowell says:
FCO: I am going to try and cancel out the energy field with a field of the opposite polarity.

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::smirks and hooks a finger at the CIV:: CMO: She did it, Doc...

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to the two Xavier’s:: CIV/Ens: Well, how are you ladies today?  Have you had your supplements?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::exits the turbolift,  walks the short distance to sickbay and enters::

CMO_Naegle says:
::takes out her tricorder and scans them both::

FCO_Marsland says:
OPS: Do you think we can beam them out without getting attacked?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
TO Verall: Make sure no one enters or leaves without my permission, and see to any of their needs. They are honored guests here.

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::nods::

MO_Sarel says:
::looks at the two Xavier’s and listens to CMO talking to them::

OPS_Lowell says:
FCO: Depends on whether or not my idea brings down the shields. ::grin::

SO_Hammond says:
@::enters and heads for engineering::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Nothing yet. I’m probably going to need Dr. Naegle's data on the two Xavier’s.

CEO_Yeung says:
@EO: Looks like we're nearly done, Jon.

FCO_Marsland says:
OPS: I see ... so are we looking at a fly-by beam up?

OPS_Lowell says:
FCO: Correct

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::moves off to Commander Jokeg’s quarters and presses the chime once he arrives::

CIV_Xavier says:
CMO: Yes, Doctor.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::walks over to Ens. Sarel as she noticed Dr. Naegle with the two Xavier’s:: MO:  How is it going this morning, Ensign?

Sonja_Davore says:
::continues to monitor sensors::

CMO_Naegle says:
::turns to the "real" CIV as the Captain walks in:: CIV: Good, I'm glad to hear it.

FCO_Marsland says:
OPS: Okay, that should be pretty easy. I can keep shields up as we fly in, then hit the brakes and keep forward shields up, then get outta here… ::grins at the OPS::

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: How long have we been down here?

OPS_Lowell says:
FCO: Well it’s the moment of truth ... you may want to take your station. ::grins back at the FCO::

CIV_Xavier says:
::stands up to salute the Captain::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::tries again when he gets no answer::

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CSO: Contact the doctor and find out what she's come up with. In the meantime, I'd like to get a closer look at some of that debris from the Pagh and if possible a further scan on the same elements on Tellas IV.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::frowns:: Computer: Computer, locate Commander Jokeg.

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: Sir, I am ready to begin the operation...

CEO_Yeung says:
@EO: Seems like forever.

MO_Sarel says:
::turns as she hears the captain:: CO: Good morning sir, well things are going pretty interesting right now.

SO_Hammond says:
@::walks up to the CEO:: CEO: I made it, sir. So where is my double?

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::watches the EO and CEO hard at work ... wishing their was something he'd be allowed to do to help::

FCO_Marsland says:
::walks back to helm, and programs in the preplanned course, relieving Ensign Oleson, who stands beside Lt. Marsland to watch::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::Notices Ensign Xavier stand and returns her salute:: MO: What have you and Doctor Naegle discovered with these two?

CIV_Xavier says:
::sits back down on the bio-bed::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Aye, I have the results here. I’ll forward them to your console.

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::glances up as the SO walks in and blinks ... then screws his fists in his eyes and blinks again:: CEO: That's .... me!

CEO_Yeung says:
@::turns to SO, and points to the double in the corner:: SO: There he is. He doesn't seem dangerous, but it is really strange.

CMO_Naegle says:
::hands Sarel the report that she had prepared::

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::glances at the Captain warily::

SO_Hammond says:
@::looks around and spots himself being guarded:: Self: Now this is interesting  ::pulls out his tricorder::

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Doctor as soon as you finish your scans of the twins, can you forward me the results ASAP.

XO_Linard says:
CSO: Thank you, that would be appreciated... ;;heads for her seat::

MO_Sarel says:
CO: Well, we are just finding out right now.

EO_Powers says:
@::looks up for a second then looks down again and carries on working::

Host Computer says:
*TO*: Commander Jokeg is in his quarters...

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::receiving no answer from Jokeg, K`hora decides to go to the bridge::

SO_Hammond says:
@CEO: Yeah, you’re telling me...

OPS_Lowell says:
::waits for the XO::

XO_Linard says:
::nods to OPS:: OPS: Whenever you are ready Mr. Lowell.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::frowns at the silence of the Commander, but proceeds to enter the TL::

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: Thank you, sir.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
TL: Bridge.

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO* Aye, Commander, it's on it's way now.

OPS_Lowell says:
CSO: I'm ready if you are

FCO_Marsland says:
::glances at OPS, and waits for his signal to start the fly-by::

SO_Hammond says:
@::starts to scan his clone::

CEO_Yeung says:
@EO: I'm going to go see Captain Kargan, and we'll see if our repairs were good enough.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::watches the two Xavier’s, curious to see the doctor's findings:: MO:  Excellent, then this should work out well.  ::walks over to the Xavier that saluted:: CIV:   Ensign, what was the condition of the other away team members when you left them?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Hammond's scans reveal that the clone’s cellular structure is nearly identical to his own DNA. The only difference is that the clones appears to also contain a liquid metal composed in part of deuterium, hydrogen sulfate, dichromate’s, and protein molecules.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: We will probably only have a moment in the opening ... it’s going to have to go smoothly. Proceed when ready Craig.

Sonja_Davore says:
::looks over at the bridge crew::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::exits TL and moves towards TAC1, nodding in greeting to Sonja::

MO_Sarel says:
CO: We know that one of the two Xavier’s is made up of the same components as the planet.

FCO_Marsland says:
::readies the course, transfers control to manual::

OPS_Lowell says:
::smiles:: FCO: Go ahead, Tom.

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: Okay, sir … I’ll finish this bit up.

Sonja_Davore says:
::turns her head as the TL opens, and greets the TO:: TO: Sir.

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: They were in good condition.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::walks off to find Kargan::

FCO_Marsland says:
::takes the Apache towards Tellas IV at full impulse::

OPS_Lowell says:
::initiates reverse polarity field::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja_Davore: Greetings, you are in training … correct?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
MO:  That's what I thought you would find.  It's making for quite an interesting mystery.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Tactical Officer, at his console, registers a weapons power up on the surface of the planet.

SO_Hammond says:
@Self: Some how this doesn't surprise me … but how?

Sonja_Davore says:
::nods and smiles at the Klingon:: TO: Yah-huh.  ::then turns to the beeping console with a puzzled look::

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: Sir, I would recommend firing on the planet's weapons to suppress them.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at tactical one::

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: Sir ... look at this.  The planet is powering its weapons.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CIV:  That's good.  ::nods:: And what did you discover down there?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, I’ve registered a weapons power up on the surface of the planet.

CSO_Storal says:
::looks at the medical data on the two Xavier’s:: XO: Sir ... the Xavier clone is made up of the same composite that we found in the IKS Pagh, and as part of the planetary make-up.

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::pulls out his own tricorders and begins scanning Hammond curiously::

OPS_Lowell says:
::monitors the dampening field status:: Self: Adjusting the reverse field now.

XO_Linard says:
::shakes her head:: OPS: No, Mr. Lowell ... we want to do this without as little fire exchange as possible.

FCO_Marsland says:
::watches the navigational sensors as Apache streaks towards Tellas IV::

Host Ens_Xavier says:
CO: Well Captain... ::begins to answer and then stops as she realizes the question is not for her::

FCO_Marsland says:
OPS/XO: Coming up on Tellas IV, ready with the field?

SO_Hammond says:
@::looks up:: Hammond: So, what are your results?

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: Captain, we've just finished our repairs to the engines. We can try them out.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A pair of torpedoes streaks up from the planets surface…

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to TO Knoxville:: TO Knoxville: I am relieving you. 

XO_Linard says:
TO: acknowledged... FCO: Back us off Mr. Marsland. Abort the maneuver.

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: Aye sir, FCO: I hope you are at least half the pilot you claim to be. ::grins broadly::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, we are under attack!

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::turns and glances at Mister Yeung:: CEO: You are certain?

FCO_Marsland says:
::activates evasive and streaks up and away::

XO_Linard says:
TO: Shields! Red Alert!

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Missiles fired from the surface!

TO_Knoxville says:
Cha`Dak: Aye sir.

Sonja_Davore says:
::activates shields::

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir. ALL: Incoming!

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: We haven’t even gotten a chance yet!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns to the 2nd Xavier:: ENS:  Go ahead, Ensign.

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: Well, this is all new to us, but we're as sure as we'll ever be.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::goes to red alert::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks back and forth at the two Xavier’s::

OPS_Lowell says:
::keeps typing away on his console::

CIV_Xavier says:
::looks at her duplicate::

OPS_Lowell says:
::checks the status of the dampening field::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The torpedoes streak independently towards different targets ... one strikes a meteor with a heavy nickel composition ... the other streaks towards a patch of stellar matter with an iron core.

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: Should we try to intercept the torpedoes before it gets here?

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Exactly, and I want to be around for another one. We'll have to find another way to do this.

MO_Sarel says:
::listens to the two, wondering which one is the original::

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::hmph’s at that:: CEO: I see ... perhaps I should look over your "work" before I put my crews lives in your hands that is.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja: If we get the order, perhaps.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::hears the red alert:: *XO*: Commander, why is the ship at red alert?

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: If I may, I could take a runabout with boosted shields and draw fire while we try this plan. It might work.

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::looks at her clone::

CSO_Storal says:
Self: Odd… ::scans the Torpedoes targets::

EO_Powers says:
@::finishes and steps back::

XO_Linard says:
TO: What is your status, Mister Cha`Dak.

Sonja_Davore says:
::notes where the Torpedoes impacted::

FCO_Marsland says:
::brings the Apache back to it's starting point::

CMO_Naegle says:
::shows tricorder results to the MO to help her tell them apart::

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: Let's take a look then. ::heads back to the engines::

XO_Linard says:
*CO*: We are being fired upon by Tellas IV again...

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, both missiles have missed. One targeted a nearby meteor, the other a patch of stellar matter nearby.

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::follows the Commander stomping along behind him::

MO_Sarel says:
CMO: Ah, thank you. ::smiles::

OPS_Lowell says:
::starts analyzing the results of the pass::

SO_Hammond says:
@CEO: Sir, I'm puzzled.  I am a little limited as to what I can accomplish with just this tricorder.

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: TO: Acknowledged, keep shields up and stand down from red alert.

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: MO: I understand

XO_Linard says:
*CO*: Apparently they were not meant for us, Captain.

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::stands and moves towards Hammond gazing at him intently:: SO: You need a shave...

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps the console and stands down from red alert::

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: Sir, what do you think?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja: I see you're getting the hang of this.

EO_Powers says:
@SO: You could always cut him open.

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: Captain, I would recommend informing Starfleet Command about this planet. We need to let them know what is going on here.

MO_Sarel says:
::whispers to CMO:: CMO: You could almost say, "Will the real Ensign Xavier please stand up."

Sonja_Davore says:
::Grins:: TO: I had a few good mentors ... since I came onboard.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
*XO*: Understood, our position should remain outside of their weapons range until we are ready to retrieve the away team.

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: Sir, perhaps we can use the shield modifications that I made for the shuttle. We won't get heat interference from the atmosphere.

SO_Hammond says:
@EO: I don't think that’s too amusing.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Another pair of torpedoes streak up from the surface of the planet and lock onto suitably magnetic targets before exploding harmlessly.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::gives the EO a mock scowl, then turns back to SO:: SO: We'll need to get back to the Apache then.

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: Plus ... a few uh, simulation practices before coming onboard.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods, then looks back at the viewscreen frowning at the absence of the CTO::

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: OPS: Do it.

CMO_Naegle says:
::laughs softly:: CIV: Savannah, what exactly happened down there?

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@:;stares at Powers aghast:: EO: Why I never...

SO_Hammond says:
@Hammond: I know, haven't had a chance to shave lately.

CIV_Xavier says:
::starts singing, I'm slim shady, yes the real slim shady::

FCO_Marsland says:
OPS: It doesn't seem like those are heat-seekers.  They're being attracted by strong metal substances.

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: On it… ::modifies the shield program::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, the colony is continuing to fire on nearby targets.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CIV:  What about this planet, should we report?

XO_Linard says:
CSO: Scan the surface; try to find out what's going on.

XO_Linard says:
TO: Acknowledged ... what are these targets exactly?

CSO_Storal says:
Self: What are they doing? ::continues to scan the Torpedo targets as well as the surface of Tellas IV::

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::chuckles at her duplicate and stifles a grin with her hand::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Aye sir … initiating scans now.

OPS_Lowell says:
::smiles as the shield modifications come online:: XO: We are in business ... and I modified them to neutralize our Magnetic field to boot!

MO_Sarel says:
::listens intently waiting for one of the two to answer::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: It seems as if they are targeting anything suitably metallic or magnetic ... perhaps they are trying to target us, but they can't see us.

EO_Powers says:
@Hammond/SO: I used to be a MO. I could do it. It would be like an autopsy except you'd be alive.

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::nods and scratches his own beard:: SO: I know the feeling...

XO_Linard says:
::looks down at Tom:: FCO: It's a good idea, Tom, but I'd rather see if we can do this without putting anymore crew at risk ... I will keep your idea in mind.

CIV_Xavier says:
::stops singing:: CO: Sir, this planet should be quarantined. This material, in the wrong hands, can amass a substantial fleet.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns to Xavier’s double and addresses her:: ENS:  You were about to reply about what you had seen on Tellas IV, what did you have to say?

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::backs away from Powers:: EO: Their is a reason why autopsies are performed on corpses, Ensign!

SO_Hammond says:
@EO: I believe that is enough, Ensign.  If I want your opinion, I'll ask.

Host Ens_Xavier says:
@::shrugs at the CO:: CO: I was just going to say what she said... ::indicates Xavier:: ...that happens a lot lately.

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir, but better to put one at risk than the whole ship.

CMO_Naegle says:
::steps back as the captain questions the CIV and ENS::

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::arrives in Engineering with Yeung and muscles his way past Powers to examine their work::

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Good. FCO: Begin another run...

CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Tom ... she said that she would take it under advisement.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja: Scan for weapons signatures in the debris of those meteors.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods at the two Xavier’s:: CIV/ENS:  So you are saying that the planet is the source of what cloned you?

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir... ::frowns, but activates the preprogrammed course::

OPS_Lowell says:
::stands ready to initiate the reverse polarity field::

SO_Hammond says:
@EO: Not one more remark about autopsies ... that's an order.

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: Yes sir.  ::taps the console rapidly::

FCO_Marsland says:
::transfers control to manual, and enters weapons range of the planet::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Another pair of torpedoes is launched, locks onto the nearest magnetic object, and slams into it obliterating it.

CIV_Xavier says:
ENS: Go ahead, show her the information from the tricorder.

Sonja_Davore says:
::using LRS, and SRS, scans for weapon signatures::  TO: Here comes another one.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: I agree Mr. Marsland ... but Apache is able to withstand the firepower better than a runabout.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, those missiles are getting slightly closer.

EO_Powers says:
@SO: Yes sir. ::mock salutes::

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: Coming into range in 30 seconds…

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: What do you think, Captain?

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::opens up tricorder and turns it around, handing it to the CO:: CO: Here you are sir ... all the scans we collected while we were on the surface.

CSO_Storal says:
::scans for magnetic anomalies in orbit of Tellas IV::

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::frowns and grumbles:: CEO: We can try... ::glances from Hammond to Hammond::

XO_Linard says:
::nods to the TO:: FCO: Try and move us away from the targets they are trying to lock onto… 

Sonja_Davore says:
CSO: How many of these magnetic uh ... asteroids are there?

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Acknowledged.

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: Yes sir, but if we modified the shields with some power cells it could work. Also, the runabouts are quicker, and would have a better chance of dodging the missiles.

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::thinks about the Pagh attack:: CIV/ENS:  Did you encounter the IKS Pagh while on the surface?  ::takes the tricorder and looks over the findings::

CSO_Storal says:
Sonja: Don’t know.  I’m checking on it.

CSO_Storal says:
FCO: Tom ... let it go!

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: Initiating reverse polarity field ... now!

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::nods at Kargan:: Kargan: Captain...

MO_Sarel says:
::walks back following the CMO:: CMO: This is an interesting situation.

FCO_Marsland says:
::continues maneuvering Apache towards the planet, avoiding metallic objects nearby::

SO_Hammond says:
@::stares at the EO for a few seconds, then looks back at his clone:: Hammond: We do need to examine you though.

Sonja_Davore says:
::chuckles at the FCO's stubbornness and returns to the scans::

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Let me know if you get a lock on our away team.

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::grumbles and draws his disruptor, fires on the clone Hammond and vaporizes him::

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: Yes, we did Captain. I believe Commander Yeung was working to help repair her engines.

OPS_Lowell says:
::watches the status of dampening field::

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
@::holds up his hands:: All: NO!  ::is vaporized::

CMO_Naegle says:
MO: It sure is.  I'd like to get a look at the science reports when this is all done.

SO_Hammond says:
@All: What the...

FCO_Marsland says:
::hears someone behind him laugh and ignores it focusing on the navigational sensors::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::takes a step back and draws his own phaser:: Cpt_Kargan: Captain! What are you doing?

EO_Powers says:
@::pulls phaser::

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::holsters his disruptor:: All: Now that the rubbish has been taken care of, we can try to get off this rock … before the rest of us end up like clones.

SO_Hammond says:
@::jumps back:: Kargan: Now why did you do that?

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::glares at Powers:: EO: Try to remember you are on MY vessel, Ensign.

MO_Sarel says:
CMO: Yes, I wonder what is going to happen with the extra Xavier.

CSO_Storal says:
*CMO*: Sorry for the delay Doctor, here are my sensor readings of the Pagh and the planet. I’d appreciate any suggestions. ::forwards the data down to sickbay::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A puddle of the silver blood is all that remains of Lt JG Hammond's clone.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods:: ENS:  Ensign Xavier, I want you to remain with Doctor Naegle so that she can finish her tests.  ::turns back to the real Xavier:: CIV:  I want you to join me on the bridge to assist Commander Storal in his investigation.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::puts away his own phaser, and waves EO to do the same::

EO_Powers says:
@Kargan: Good point.

Host LtJG_Hammond says:
CO: Aye sir... ::smiles:: CMO: All yours, doc.

EO_Powers says:
@::puts away phaser::

CIV_Xavier says:
CO: Aye Captain.

OPS_Lowell says:
::boosts power to the reverse polarity field::

SO_Hammond says:
@::scans the puddle that remains::

CMO_Naegle says:
*CSO*: Thank you, Commander. ::notes the data downloading on the terminal::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns and walks toward the entrance to sickbay:: CMO/MO:  Thank you for your assistance, Doctors.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::glares at Kargan for a moment:: Cpt_Kargan: Let's get this over with then.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::walks with the real Xavier to the lift:: TL: Bridge.

CIV_Xavier says:
::thinks to herself, and looks over at her duplicate, you better not give away who I am::

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@CEO: Agreed... ::starts heading back to the bridge with Yeung::

CIV_Xavier says:
::follows the Captain::

XO_Linard says:
CSO: How are those scans coming?

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods to the CO as she leaves::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::follows Kargan::

CSO_Storal says:
XO: Nothing new, same old results.

XO_Linard says:
::nods at the CSO::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::scans for the origin of the torpedoes::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The reverse polarity field seems to be having some affect, as scans are beginning to return from the surface ... barely.

Sonja_Davore says:
::chews on her lips a little thoughtfully.::

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Status? Do you have the away team yet?

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@CEO: Did you want to inform Ekin you would be departing?

CSO_Storal says:
XO/OPS: It’s working but barely...

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: No, sir but the reverse polarity field is having some effect.

FCO_Marsland says:
XO/OPS: Now passing the closest point of the flyby. Should I slow, or get closer, or what?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, those torpedoes are coming from the colony. They are persistent.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The latest pair of torpedoes to launch almost immediately locks onto the Apache as she nears the planet.

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: No. I've got a feeling he wouldn't like it.

OPS_Lowell says:
::boosts power to the reverse polarity field with power from the warp engines::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Two torpedoes locked on to us.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: Boost the signal and try and get a lock.

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Slow us down ... we'll need a little time to lock on through that field.

XO_Linard says:
TO: Can you destroy them before they hit?

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::nods:: CEO: I see, Commander … not particularly hospitable of you.

SO_Hammond says:
@::walks up to the CEO:: CEO: What needs to be done sir?  Examining the clone seems to not be an option anymore.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::targets the torpedoes and fires::

OPS_Lowell says:
::attempts to get a lock on the AT::

FCO_Marsland says:
::hears the TO, activates evasive maneuvers to try and place Apache closer to Tellas and within firing range for tactical::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Phasers destroy both torpedoes, but give the surface weapons plenty to lock on to.

OPS_Lowell says:
::boosts the reverse polarity field power again::

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: It isn't very hospitable of them from preventing our ship from picking us up, either.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::walks onto the bridge and over to Commander Storal:: CSO:  Here is information that Ensign Xavier brought up from the surface, I think you'll find it quite interesting.   ::listens as Kathleen gives orders to Cha`Dak::

OPS_Lowell says:
::scans the dampening field::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: We will stand out like a sore Targ now, sir.

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: We need to do this really quickly if we're going to sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
@SO: Try collecting as much sample as you can.

CSO_Storal says:
::tries to get a signal thru:: COM: CEO: Apache to Lt. Cmdr Yeung, please respond.

CMO_Naegle says:
::thinking out loud:: ENS: Deuterium, hydrogen sulfate, dichromate’s, and protein molecules, what exactly does that say to you, Ensign, I'd be interested to know.

XO_Linard says:
::nods:: TO: No kidding... FCO: Move us to another position ... keep them guessing as to where we are.

Sonja_Davore says:
::maintains the shields as the officers figures out what to do::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Mister Lowell increases power through the main deflector, in an attempt to boost his field polarity, the deflector dish overloads and burns out.

SO_Hammond says:
@CEO: Aye sir. ::goes back and collects as much of the puddle he can::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: I bet I will. :: smiles::

MO_Sarel says:
CMO: I wonder ... is it possible for the duplicate to exist for a long period of time?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks over at Sonja, nodding in approval::

FCO_Marsland says:
::activates evasive pattern beta-12, and watches Apache dance through the sky::

OPS_Lowell says:
XO: The deflector is gone. We have to abort...

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::thinks:: CMO: Those are some of the basic building blocks of life ... certainly not amino acids, but some.

FCO_Marsland says:
XO: Aye sir...

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods as she watches her officers at work::

XO_Linard says:
OPS: Agreed ... FCO: Take us to a safe distance Mr. Marsland.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Greetings, captain.

EO_Powers says:
@::checks over the engine::

FCO_Marsland says:
::backs off Apache to their starting point again::

OPS_Lowell says:
::sighs forlornly as the planet slides off the main viewer::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::monitors for more torpedo fire::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods to Lt. Cha`Dak:: TO:  Good work, Lieutenant.

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::orders his crew to prepare to lift off:: CEO: Now Commander ... I hope you didn't leave anything behind down there.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::walks over to the engineering console::

XO_Linard says:
::senses the CO nearby and turns, nodding to her in greeting::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks at MO in horror:: MO: Let's keep him under observation. ENS: I agree.

MO_Sarel says:
::looks at Xavier wondering::

MO_Sarel says:
CMO: Yes...will do sir.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::smacks his head and swears:: Cpt_Kargan: We've forgotten about Xavier!

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, Ensign Xavier didn’t get a sample of this "Silver Blood" did she?

XO_Linard says:
ALL: Nice work people.

Host Ens_Xavier says:
@MO: I'd appreciate it if you'd stop calling me 'the duplicate'. I am just as much the real Savannah Xavier as she was!

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::looks at Yeung unbelievingly:: CEO: You've got to be kidding?

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: Captain, do sensors still work?

MO_Sarel says:
Ens. Xavier: I'm sorry ... I didn't mean to offend you.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::nods back at Kathleen:: CSO:  I think you will find that there is a sample in sickbay.

Sonja_Davore says:
Self: Nothing like experience as a teacher.

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: We've left the defenses on the planet.

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::nods:: CEO: Yes... ::motions to Powers:: EO: Man that console ... begin a planetary scan for your missing crewmember.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, permission to go to sickbay for further study?

Host Ens_Xavier says:
MO: You can buy me a drink later to make up for it.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at Sonja, hearing her speak, and nods in agreement::

OPS_Lowell says:
::closes his eyes and leans his head against the back of the bridge::

XO_Linard says:
CO: Did you find out anything interesting?

CEO_Yeung says:
@EO: Doesn't matter now. Besides, we can't really bring them with us.

EO_Powers says:
@::takes console and starts scanning for the CIV::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  From what information we discovered after the attack by the Pagh earlier, what is on that tricorder, and the Ensign Xavier in sickbay, I am beginning to believe that the 'silver blood' that has been mentioned is the common link.

MO_Sarel says:
Ens. Xavier: We are concerned for both of you. ::smiles:: Sure, a drink sounds good.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Scans of the planet reveal no sign of Ensign Xavier.

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: What about the phasers in the defenses sir?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
XO:  Yes, there is an IKS Pagh on the surface, still in one piece.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: I have to concur.

EO_Powers says:
@::sees results and scans again to make sure::

OPS_Lowell says:
::sighs again and walks down to the CSO:: CSO: Well so much for that idea, Jon is going to kill me when he gets back. 

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks over at the CO with a look of relief as she speaks::

XO_Linard says:
::smiles:: CO: I see, seems all this is coming together now.

CEO_Yeung says:
@EO: I think we brought all of them back with us.

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: Ensign Xavier is not on the planet, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Pagh begins to lift off from the surface of the planet. As its engines make noise a group of elders comes rushing towards its landing point waving for the ship to stop.

CSO_Storal says:
OPS: We tried Mister Lowell … good work never the less.

SO_Hammond says:
@::walks back to the CEO:: CEO: I've collected what I could sir.

Sonja_Davore says:
::puzzled at the CO's statement:: TO: But, didn't we … the Pagh destroyed itself up here?

FCO_Marsland says:
::listens intently to the conversation going on behind him::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja: It seems that was not the Pagh.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::nods at SO::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: In orbit a pair of energy surges moves towards the Apache just barely in sensor range.

OPS_Lowell says:
::smiles wanly:: CSO Thanks, sir. I still wonder what kind of creative punishment Jon is going to come up with.

CEO_Yeung says:
@EO: See if you can detect the Apache.

CSO_Storal says:
CO:/XO: Sir a pair of energy surges is approaching ... they just came on the sensor grid.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
XO:  Yes, and in ways that we wouldn't have expected…

EO_Powers says:
@::nods and scans for the Apache::

XO_Linard says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja: What is the status of our shields?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Can you identify them; is it more weapons fire from the surface?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Pagh begins to lift off of the planet and turn towards space. She quickly becomes observably to the Apache's own sensors.

FCO_Marsland says:
::activates evasive::

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: They are holding at 100%.  There has been no shield damage.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, I have the Pagh on sensors.

SO_Hammond says:
@CEO: Where would you like me, sir?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: She's just lifted up from the planet.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Negative they have to get closer.

XO_Linard says:
TO: Can you hail them?

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: I have the Apache on sensors.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at OPS to answer that one::

CEO_Yeung says:
@SO: Hmm … help Powers with the sensors. I'll be over the engineering console.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
CSO:  Are they approaching from the direction of the black hole?

CEO_Yeung says:
@EO: Excellent!

CEO_Yeung says:
@Cpt_Kargan: Are we out of the jamming range yet, Captain?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::tries to hail the Pagh::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Affirmative ... they are approaching. As soon as they are within range I'll attempt to identify them … they could be cloaked vessels.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the Pagh moves through the planets atmosphere it passes through the scattering field and is free from the planets grasp.

SO_Hammond says:
@CEO: Right away.  ::walks up to EO and looks at the console::

CSO_Storal says:
::begins to try and identify the energy surges::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: IKS Pagh: IKS Pagh, this is the USS Apache. Do you read?

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: They've made a mess of her, sir. The deflectors overloaded.

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::waves for Yeung to respond to the Apache::

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: I read lifesigns, Sir.   Including those of the Apache's away team!

CSO_Storal says:
::scans the Pagh for signs that it is a clone::

CMO_Naegle says:
::running more scans on Xavier:: ENS: Do you feel different?  Like you're going to dissolve or anything?

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::looks at the CMO blankly::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::walks over to the com:: COM: Apache: Apache, this Cmdr. Yeung. Boy, it is good to hear from you again!

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja: Perhaps you had better tell the Commander.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Each energy surge decloaks into a Romulan Warbird ... both vessels power weapons and move to block the crew of the Apache, moving between the planet and the ships.

SO_Hammond says:
@::smiles at hearing the Apache::

Sonja_Davore says:
XO: Sir, I read lifesigns onboard the Pagh.  Including those of our missing crewmembers.

XO_Linard says:
::smiles upon hearing Yeung's voice::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::turns as she hears Cha`Dak and listens to see if the Pagh will respond::

FCO_Marsland says:
::readies his attack sequences::

Sonja_Davore says:
::grins over at the TO:: TO: Thanks.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::winces as he hears the damage from EO::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, the Warbird’s are moving into position for a blockade.

XO_Linard says:
::nods to Sonja:: Sonja: Acknowledged ... thank you Miss Davore

OPS_Lowell says:
::mans his station::

CSO_Storal says:
CO: They have charged their weapons

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
::smiles relieved to hear Commander Yeung's voice::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: Commander Yeung: This is the USS Apache. 

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: Two Warbird’s just decloaked.

CEO_Yeung says:
@COM: Apache: I hear you, Apache.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, we can transport the away team whenever we drop our shields.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
TO:  Prepare to return fire.  OPS:  Shields up.

OPS_Lowell says:
::puts the Shields up::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
COM: CEO: Standby commander.

SO_Hammond says:
@::moves to a free console and begins to scan::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::readies primary phasers::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Both Romulan Warbird’s settle into their positions and come to relative stop with all weapons armed. The IKS Pagh comes along the Apache and remains uncloaked.

FCO_Marsland says:
::feels his adrenaline jump at the thought of taking on these two Warbird’s::

CEO_Yeung says:
@SO/EO: Powers, Hammond, what is going on out there?

CSO_Storal says:
CO/XO: Well I guess this confirms it was the Romulans.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Sir, we can extend our shield to cover the Pagh and then we can beam the away team aboard.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Sensors begin to detect multiple other energy surges moving slowly towards the Apache from other directions, none particularly close.

MO_Sarel says:
::peeks at the scans on Xavier::

SO_Hammond says:
@CEO: Nothing yet … the Warbird’s have moved between us and the planet.

CMO_Naegle says:
MO: Forward the rest of the information to the Science department and ask for their help.

Host Ens_Xavier says:
::tense having to sit on a bio-bed while the ship is at red alert::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
OPS:  Go ahead with that Lieutenant and open hailing frequencies to the Warbird’s.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, the Romulans are armed, but they are not firing.

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: They've charged weapons.

XO_Linard says:
::brow furrows ... beginning to sense danger::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Self: Strange.

CSO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, I am detecting multiple surges from other directions. TO: Confirm the readings to make sure that they aren’t ghosts.

MO_Sarel says:
CMO: Aye sir.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::runs scans::

OPS_Lowell says:
::extends shields and opens hailing frequencies::

CEO_Yeung says:
@Self: Uh oh. Cpt_Kargan: Captain, looks like were into a fight.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Channel open

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::growls deep in his throat:: CEO: About time the Romulans showed themselves. If they want a fight, they'll certainly get one from us!!

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CSO: I concur.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: Our shields are covering the Pagh

XO_Linard says:
::stands closer to the CO:: CO: I don't like this ... I'm sensing danger

CEO_Yeung says:
@::checks the status of the weapons and shields of the Pagh::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
Sonja: Hope your ready for a real lesson from our teacher.

MO_Sarel says:
::sends scans to Science::

CSO_Storal says:
::cracks his neck::

Sonja_Davore says:
::turns slightly ashen at thought of a battle::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Simultaneously both Romulan Warbird’s shift their targeting and begin firing heavily down onto the surface of Tellas IV. They are directly targeting the center of the encampment and the scattering field quickly falls.

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM: Warbird’s: This is Captain Turnbull of the USS Apache.  What is the purpose of this action?

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, they are firing on the colony.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::taps console::

OPS_Lowell says:
Self: What the...

FCO_Marsland says:
::feels dread coming from Sonja, and glances back to give her a reassuring look of sympathy::

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: If it's sooner or later.. I'd rather I learn sooner about firing than later.

SO_Hammond says:
@CEO: They are firing on the planet!

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
XO:  This doesn't make sense.

FCO_Marsland says:
::thinks ... we need to defend them::

XO_Linard says:
CO: Tell me about it...

EO_Powers says:
@::looks confused:: CEO: They're firing on the planet, sir.

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@::is surprised at the sudden change of events:: EO: Start scanning the planets surface!

TO_Cha`Dak says:
XO: Sir, the colonies dampening field is down.

Sonja_Davore says:
::tilts her head curiously as she sees what the Romulans are doing::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::arches his eyebrows in confusion::

EO_Powers says:
@::starts scanning the surface::

FCO_Marsland says:
XO/CO: Sir, are we going to defend our own colony?

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
TO:  Fire a warning shot over their port bow.

OPS_Lowell says:
COMM: Pagh: Drop your shields so we can beam the AT aboard ... our shields are covering you.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Romulan Warbird’s continue to fire on every vestige of civilization in the encampment destroying anything their sensors can detect. They continue firing with extremely heavy ordinance causing vast damage across the face of the surface of the planet.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::targets the closest Romulan vessels port bow and fires primary phasers::

XO_Linard says:
TO: Target their weapons systems

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@CEO: What are they insane! Drop our shields! Respond to them... ::practically yelling as he watches the destruction::

Sonja_Davore says:
::draws her brows together with curiosity::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::looks at Sonja as if to say 'here we go'::

CEO_Yeung says:
@::stares out at the damage in horror::

MO_Sarel says:
*CSO*: Ensign Sarel here, sir. I am sending scans of the two Xavier’s to you. We could use your help with them if possible.

EO_Powers says:
@Kargan: They are causing vast damage to everything in sight down there

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
COM:  Warbird’s:  You are attacking a Federation Colony, stand down.  ::sees that the Romulans are refusing to respond  and turns to the TO:: TO:  Fire all weapons!

Sonja_Davore says:
::monitors shields, incase the Warbird’s fire back::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::targets their weapons systems and prepares to fire::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Romulan Warbird’s cease firing and cloak themselves ... disappearing from sensors all together.

TO_Cha`Dak says:
::fires all weapons::

OPS_Lowell says:
::gapes at the disappearing Warbird’s::

TO_Cha`Dak says:
CO: Sir, they've cloaked. We missed.

Sonja_Davore says:
TO: Ugh. They're gone.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The fire from Apache causes little damage to each ship before they have a chance to cloak and move off.

OPS_Lowell says:
CO: They are gone.

CEO_Yeung says:
@::bangs a fist on the console::

EO_Powers says:
@CEO: They've cloaked

SO_Hammond says:
@All: The Warbird’s have cloaked.

Host Cpt_Kargan says:
@CEO: Track them! ::goes to the tactical station::

Host CO_Tyler-Turnbull says:
TO:  See if you can follow their ion trail.

SO_Hammond says:
@::tries to track the cloaked ships::
