Star Trek: Apache - Episode #14
Week # 8
Mission: "Independence"

Host Jafo says:
The EVA team has just gained access to deck 13 and is about to begin their attempt to retake control of the Apache from Engineering. Meanwhile, Commander Linard has headed for the Brig to question the Zlibra members being kept there in an attempt to find out exactly what is going on.

Host Jafo says:
<<<<<<<<<<< Begin Mission Week #8 >>>>>>>>>>>

Host CSO_Storal says:
::in the computer core trying to bring primary functions online::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::taking the lead as he and CNS Vekh enter deck 13::

CMO_Naegle says:
::in Sickbay waiting for word::

CNS_Vekh2 says:
::removes his EVA suit after the chamber begins to repressurize and looks at the CTO::

CEO_Yeung says:
::on the bridge, trying to reroute engineering controls to the bridge::

EO_Powers says:
::in brig guarding the Zlibra members::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Storal to Yeung...

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::in deflector control making the final connections to tie a PADD into the deflector array::

CMO_Naegle says:
::taps out her report to Science, requesting the three MO candidates when available::

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Yeung here. What is it Commander?

CNS_Vekh2 says:
::unholsters his phaser and checks the stun setting whispering:: CTO: What's next, Mister Cha`Dak?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::surveys the nearby area::

CMO_Naegle says:
::after sending her request, exits sickbay and goes to a turbolift:: TL: Bridge…

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Main Deflector powers up and comes online as Edgemoor works his PADD.

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: With the Ship at high warp I don’t think a hard boot would be advisable.

CNS_Vekh2 says:
::observes the seemingly deserted and dark surroundings of Main Engineering::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: We shall proceed with caution, Commander. I do not like surprises.

CIV_Lu says:
::walks out of his quarters, all geared up, looking for trouble::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Without anything to regulate core flow ... we could be looking at a breach.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: I'll try to cut the warp engines.

CMO_Naegle says:
::exits the turbolift at the bridge and looks around::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::draws his phaser and begins stalking into the darkness, heading instinctively in the direction of Main Engineering::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Neither do I Commander. We have crewmembers down here. Shall we try finding them first? ::paces slowly around::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
Self: YES! I’ve done it! ::taps combadge:: *Bridge*: Edgemoor to the bridge. I have tied into deflector control. I should be able to transmit a message to Starfleet.

Host XO_Linard says:
::enters the bridge and strides across the back of the main command platform::

CNS_Vekh says:
::brings up the rear as he silently follows the Klingon::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::whispers:: Computer: Computer, locate Science Officer Hammond.

Host XO_Linard says:
Bridge: Report...

Host CSO_Storal says:
::while he waits on the CEO, he runs an L0phtCrack program to trace the whereabouts of Colonel Strom::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*Bridge*: Respond.

Host XO_Linard says:
*OPS* Bridge here ... go ahead Mr. Edgemoor.

CIV_Lu says:
::enters the maintenance shaft for the turbolift and heads for main engineering::

CMO_Naegle says:
::looks up at the XO when she comes on the bridge:: XO: Hello Commander.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The computer downloads Storal's program and begins working to compile the information requested.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*XO*: I have tied into deflector control. I should be able to transmit a message to Starfleet.

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CMO: Doctor…

CNS_Vekh2 says:
CTO: The Zlibra may have tampered with the computer. It may not be trustworthy.

Host XO_Linard says:
*OPS*: Good work Lieutenant, do it.

Host Computer says:
CNS: Lieutenant Joseph Hammond is in Main Engineering.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods:: CNS: A valid point, Commander.

CIV_Lu says:
Computer: Life support status of deck 8 thru 14?

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Sir, I’m currently running a trace program.  If Strom is in the system we will know where.

Host XO_Linard says:
CEO: How are things going Commander?

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Any luck on your end Jon?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Well, he's here somewhere. We should be reaching Main Engineering just past this emergency bulkhead on our left.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Acknowledged. keep me informed.

CEO_Yeung says:
::sigh:: XO: Not good, sir. Everywhere I turn, I'm being blocked out.

Host Computer says:
Lu: Life supporting fully functional on decks 8, 9, 10, 11, and 13. Life support failure detected on decks 12 and 14.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: None so far, Ky.

EO_Powers says:
*CEO*: Do you want me on the bridge, sir?

CIV_Lu says:
::curses in Russian::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*XO*: Yes sir ... I will apprise them of the situation. However, if we cannot gain control is Starfleet to do whatever it takes to stop us from reaching Reseal?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A sudden loud whirring and then a shower of cascading sparks shoot out at Storal as the computer core fries the PADD he was working with.

Host XO_Linard says:
::lays her hand on his shoulder:: CEO: I understand. It seems that way doesn't it. If all else fails ... I have a back up plan.

CNS_Vekh2 says:
::walking past some cross corridors and making sure the path is clear:: CTO: If we managed to enlist the help from our crewmates trapped in Main Engineering we may have an upper hand over the Zlibra.

CIV_Lu says:
::continues down to deck 7::

Host CSO_Storal says:
Aloud: By the Emissary!

CEO_Yeung says:
*EO*: Head down to the computer core on deck 6, Commander Storal may need some help.

CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to the science station on the bridge to monitor things from there::

EO_Powers says:
*CEO*: Yes sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Mister Cha`Dak and Vekh come across a body lying in the corridor of deck 13 wearing a yellow engineering uniform.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: How many are down here, sir?

Host XO_Linard says:
::taps her combadge:: *CNS*: How are things going there Mr. Vekh?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::rolls over the body:: CNS: Lieutenant Rickman...

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO/XO*: The core back feed fried my interface. I'm going to give it another shot.

EO_Powers says:
Reg: Lucky you. I’m being called away so I wont be able to give you a good beating.

CNS_Vekh says:
::stops dead in his tracks before even acknowledging Cha`Dak’s question::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: At the science console, long-range sensors detect a vessel on an intercept course approaching at high speed.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Be careful, Mr. Storal ... we don't need detection right now.

CNS_Vekh says:
::kneels beside the body and tries to feel his pulse::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Commander. long-range sensors are detecting a vessel on an intercept course at high speed!

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: Can you identify the vessel?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Lieutenant Rickman's uniform shows an unusual blast pattern from a very high frequency disruptor blast.

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: That may  be a moot point, sir.  If I was detected he probably spiked my link.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Cha`Dak to Linard, please respond.

CIV_Lu says:
::opens up an equipment locker and looks for a respirator::

EO_Powers says:
Wregget: I've been called away. Remember what I said about killing him. ::heads for deck 6::

CNS_Vekh says:
::taps badge and speaks in very low tones:: *XO*: We've gained access to Deck 13 and are proceeding to Main Engineering. We just came across Lieutenant Rickman, he's dead sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
::takes a bite of her lip:: *CSO* Acknowledged.

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: No ma'am, other than the fact that it is a Federation vessel.

Host CSO_Storal says:
Self: Well ... I could always try the next program.

CNS_Vekh says:
::gives up trying to find Rickman's pulse as the body is rolled over and the disruptor blast can be seen clearly::

CEO_Yeung says:
::overhears the communiqué from CNS and curses under his breath::

Host XO_Linard says:
*CNS/CTO*: What killed him?

CIV_Lu says:
::places the respirator where it could be easily placed on, and continues down::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The core gives Commander Storal an indicator that the console being used is in Main Engineering. Unfortunately it cannot be specific as to exactly which console in the 3-story structure.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: Keep trying to find out who it is.

EO_Powers says:
::enters the turbolift:: TL: Computer core, deck six.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::stands from his crouching position, even more wary of possible dangers::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::takes out a new PADD and runs a Sub7 program.:: Self:  Lets see if I can steal his access codes.

CNS_Vekh says:
::looks up at Cha`Dak:: CTO: Another one to Colonel Strom's list. We shall not let him get away with this. ::is very serious::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Aye Commander…  ::sets about to reconfigure the sensors for a more definite identification of the approaching vessel::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Sir, he is definitely in Main Engineering. I can’t isolate the source of his link though.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
COM: Starfleet/Broadband: To all federation-allied vessels that receive this message, this is a distress call from the U.S.S. Apache NCC-61491. I'm Lieutenant John Edgemoor identification code Bravo 3. Our engineering has been taken over we have minimal system control. The dissident group is demanding our return to Risealan space. Please advice they intend the Apache to bombard the Risealan planet. Please help!

CIV_Lu says:
::pulls out his tricorder and scans for Cha`Dak and Vekh::

CIV_Lu says:
::continues down the shaft::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::nods at Vekh’s comment:: *XO*: We are approaching Main Engineering now, sir. What are your orders?

Host XO_Linard says:
*CNS/CTO*: Can you tell from their how many are in Main Engineering? You may be outnumbered should you try and storm the place.

CNS_Vekh says:
::closes Rickman's eyes and finally gets up, battling with himself whether he should change his phaser setting to kill or not::

CIV_Lu says:
::looks for a deck marker::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: There is no response to Mister Edgemoor's communiqué and an odd static, like that of an external jamming signal, can be heard.

EO_Powers says:
::exits the turbolift and heads over to the CSO::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: My attempts at regaining control are a bust here.  I think were going to have to try the hard boot.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Unable to tell Commander, all lighting on Deck 13 is gone, and we have yet to enter Main Engineering proper.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*XO*: Sir, distress call sent. Want me to wait in deflector control for a response. I can't tie communication back to the bridge yet.

CNS_Vekh says:
::overhearing the XO, gets to a nearby console and asks the computer for a head count in Main Engineering, identifying both Starfleet and Zlibra's::

CIV_Lu says:
::the maintenance shaft darkens::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: I'm able to identify the vessel now, Commander.  It's the USS Greenland, Excelsior Class.

CEO_Yeung says:
*CSO*: Looks like we have no choice. I'll inform Commander Linard.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: Hail them, we may need their assistance.

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO*: Acknowledged.

Host Computer says:
CNS: Unknown. A dampening field has been erected around Main Engineering.

EO_Powers says:
CSO: You need any help, sir?

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Aye Commander.

CIV_Lu says:
::adjusts his wrist light to emit more light::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Shall we proceed?

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: Commander, Commander Storal is going to try to hard boot the system. We need to stand ready.

Host XO_Linard says:
*OPS*: That won't be necessary, report back to the bridge please.

Host XO_Linard says:
::nods:: CEO: Understood.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::is impatient to get to the perpetrator::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::looks up:: EO: As a  matter of fact I do. Can you  access that terminal and bring up the  last systems back up.

EO_Powers says:
CSO: Yes sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Yes, but what about an alternate approach? We could try to rig up something from outside to wreak havoc in Engineering and get us the surprise advantage.

CIV_Lu says:
::puts on his respirator and continues down the shaft::

CMO_Naegle says:
COM: Greenland: USS Greenland this is the USS Apache, do you read?

EO_Belron says:
::pops his head around the corner:: CNS: Commander?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
*XO*: Sir, additionally ... I have my doubts I don't think the call got through, sir. ::crawls back up into the conduit::

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Were going to have to do a hard boot of the core. Hopefully we can regain control that way ... or do you have any ideas?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::spins, aiming his phaser at CPO Belron::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Rather suddenly, a disruptor blast sings out in the corridor of deck 13 and strikes a wall panel right in front of Commander Vekh.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CPO Belron: Get down!

EO_Powers says:
::accesses the terminal and brings up the last systems back up::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Without knowing how many we are facing, it may be good ... heck! ::gets down instinctively::

EO_Belron says:
::ducks back behind the corner::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*CEO/XO*:  We are bringing up the backup.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Greenland does not respond to the communiqué from the Apache.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns in the direction of the phaser fire laying down cover fire for the Counselor:: CNS: This way!

Host XO_Linard says:
*OPS*: Very well Mr. Edgemoor, do you have any ideas as to why?

EO_Belron says:
CTO/CNS: Over here!

EO_Powers says:
CSO: All my plans at the minute involve phaser rifles, sir.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Disruptor blasts and phaser shots sing out down the darkened corridor in each direction.

CNS_Vekh says:
::while rolling over on his belly, fires from where the blast came::

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: No response Commander, keep trying?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins moving in the direction of the CPO, firing at hidden targets::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::grunts as he moves through the small conduit and finally makes it out though suddenly he was back in there so long he's not sure what deck he is on::

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: Sir! Weapons fire detected on deck 13!

CNS_Vekh says:
::crawls his way toward Belron:: CTO: So much for our surprise factor. ::fires::

CIV_Lu says:
::enters what looks like deck 13::

Host XO_Linard says:
;;looks at the CMO:: CMO: Really? Yes, please try again.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Computer: Computer, can you get a transporter lock on the intruders on deck 13?

Host Computer says:
CTO: Negative, a dampening field has been erected around Main Engineering.

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Do  you  have them yet Lieutenant?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::reactivates his beacon as it's still dark in the corridor::

CMO_Naegle says:
::nods, not even responding:: COM: USS Greenland: USS Greenland, this is the USS Apache, please respond!

CIV_Lu says:
::dims his palm beacon and gets ready too exit the maintenance shaft::

EO_Powers says:
CSO: Just getting them now, sir.

CNS_Vekh says:
Belron: Report, Mister Belron. Are there any other officers with you? Have you seen Mister Hammond?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As Lu enters the deck he comes face to face with a black armored Judge.

Host XO_Linard says:
CEO: What section is it in, Chief?

CIV_Lu says:
Self: Who the...

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As quickly as the disruptor blasts started, they now cease.

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Understood.

Host Judge_Anderson says:
::draws his peacemaker:: CIV: Who are you? ::aims at the CIV::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::rolls over to the other side of the corridor, firing into the murky darkness:: CNS/CPO: They've stopped firing - now's our chance. Let's get to Engineering!

EO_Powers says:
CSO: Got them, sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CTO/CNS*: Do what you can to regain control of engineering, gentlemen. I believe we have enough crew down there to back you up.

CNS_Vekh says:
::hidden behind a bulkhead:: CTO: After you Mister Cha`Dak.

Host XO_Linard says:
::looks to the CMO:: CMO: Still no response?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins heading towards the main doors to Engineering::

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Good work, now prepare to install them on my mark.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::walks in the direction he remembers the turbolift being located::

EO_Powers says:
CSO: Yes sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: How are we doing Commander?

CIV_Lu says:
::erects a mental barrier:: Judge: Captain Max Lu, retired.

CNS_Vekh says:
::follows the CTO with Belron tagging along::

EO_Powers says:
::prepares to install them::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Sir, we are ready to initiate the hard boot … stand by.

Host Judge_Anderson says:
CIV: Are you behind this?

CMO_Naegle says:
::shakes head:: XO: No, sir … no response.

CIV_Lu says:
::keeps his phaser rifle center::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::finally locates the turbolift and steps inside:: TL: Bridge…

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Understood... ::taps her combadge:: *All Hands*: Stand by for hard boot.

CIV_Lu says:
Judge: Who might you be? And no I'm not responsible for this.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: Very well, I guess we're back to square one then.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::finally arrives at the doors to Engineering:: Computer: Computer, open doors, authorization K`hora Cha`Dak, omicron echo.

Host Judge_Anderson says:
CIV: I am Judge Anderson ... I was trapped down here when the Zlibra took control of Main Engineering.

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: As soon as the systems shut down and are brought back up we should install the backup.

EO_Powers says:
CSO: Yes sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Would you like me to remain at Science while Commander Storal is busy?  I don't mind and right now I can spare the time.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The doors to Main Engineering begin to open ... then stop halfway.

CIV_Lu says:
Anderson: Well then, we both have a problem on our hands.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS/CPO: Help me with this.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: That would be wonderful Doctor, thank you.

Host Judge_Anderson says:
CIV: Why's that?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::begins trying to open the doors manually::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Initiating the hard boot in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... initiating hard boot. ::shuts down the core and attempts to bring it up again::

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: They are trying to override the control. ::grabs the other half of the door and struggles to get it open::

Host XO_Linard says:
::waits to see if the hard boot works::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: As the computer core goes offline, all systems ... everywhere ... begin to shut down. The Apache drops out of warp and drift to a relative stop.

Host XO_Linard says:
::crosses her mental fingers::

CNS_Vekh says:
::looks through the gap in the door::

CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: XO: Aye Commander.  ::hopes she doesn't blow anything up while Kylorean is away::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::the turbolift comes to a halt the doors swing open and John steps onto the bridge moving to his console:: XO: Sir, I don't think our communiqué got out.  Not sure, but call it a funny feeling.

CIV_Lu says:
Anderson: The Zlibra.

Host Judge_Anderson says:
::in the dark, he raises his peacemaker over his head and smashes it down on Lu's skull knocking him unconscious::

Host CSO_Storal says:
Self: Part one worked ... lets see if  we  can bring them back up.  *XO*: Restarting computer core in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... starting core.

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Understood, Lieutenant. Send it again if you have to. Hopefully we'll have all systems up after this.

CIV_Lu says:
::lowers his weapon, blacks out::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::taps his console:: XO: No power now ... what'd I miss Commander?

EO_Powers says:
::installs the backup::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::as systems go offline, the doors can be slid open effortlessly::

CMO_Naegle says:
::continues monitoring the sensors::

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: We're attempting a hard boot. Hopefully we'll regain control of the ship after this.

CIV_Lu says:
::his mind drifts in a dreamlike state::

CNS_Vekh says:
::enters Main Engineering and immediately takes a defensive position behind one of the consoles::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CPO: Are you armed, Mister Belron?

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Almost immediately, as the doors to Main Engineering open, a confused and panicked firefight begins with disruptor blasts coming out of Main Engineering towards Vekh and Cha`Dak.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::has to yell over the sound of phaser fire::

CNS_Vekh says:
::jumps to the Deck:: CTO/CPO: All down!

EO_Belron says:
CTO: No, we couldn't get to the weapons.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: Aye, it's a slow process. I will help get the vital systems back..

EO_Belron says:
::dives to the side::

CNS_Vekh says:
::tries to pinpoint the origin of disruptor fire, aims to a probable spot and fires his phaser::

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Well if this doesn’t work at least were stopped.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CPO: Here... ::throws his phaser to Belron, and reaches up to the weapons locker just inside the doors of Engineering, retrieving a phaser rifle::

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Thank you. Once we get main power back, I need you to immediately lock out all systems again.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The blasts from within Main Engineering seem to be coming from only one very intense disruptor style weapon. A second one coming from outside Main Engineering soon joins it. Cha`Dak and Belron are effectively pinned down.

EO_Belron says:
::catches the rifle and powers it up::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::turns around and behind his station he opens an isolinear chip rack and starts working on life support then communication::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The restart begins to spin up the central core, a process which often takes several minutes when done in ideal conditions.

CNS_Vekh says:
::crawls on his belly behind the consoles, circulating the origin of the fire::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CPO/CNS: I need some cover fire. I'm going to try and reach the Engineering consoles near the warp core.

EO_Belron says:
CTO: Will do, sir.

Host XO_Linard says:
::stands nearby watching a console for the power-up::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Its begun. Hopefully there will be no damage on the startup.

Host FCO_V`Taran says:
XO: Commander, the Apache is at relative stop.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: ...hopefully...

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS/CPO: Ready...?

OPS_Edgemoor says:
XO: This is no small feat. This isn't even simulated at the academy. In best of condition this process will take several minutes, sir.

EO_Belron says:
::nods::

Host XO_Linard says:
V'Taran: Good. The sooner we don't get to Riseal the better.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::nods in agreement::

CNS_Vekh says:
::fires toward a spot one of the attackers might be and fires twice::

EO_Belron says:
::pops up a for a second and returns a few shots::

Host XO_Linard says:
OPS: Yes, I know. Hopefully that will buy our crew in engineering the time they need to retake the ship.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: A handful of consoles in main engineering begin their reboot sequences casting just enough light into main engineering to make out where people are hiding. The warp core begins to power up.

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Stand by to install the back up...

CMO_Naegle says:
::waits to see what will happen::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: From out in the corridor, Judge Anderson flies into the room, barely able to be seen in his black body armor, and tackles Belron.

Host XO_Linard says:
::places her hands on her hips and waits patiently::

CNS_Vekh says:
::spots someone and fires immediately::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::whilst the CNS and CPO lay cover fire, K`hora rolls on the floor towards the nearest Engineering console, and rapidly begins trying to reestablish command crew authorization codes::

EO_Belron says:
All: Ooof!!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Operations Console on the bridge begins its power up sequence.

CNS_Vekh says:
::notices something coming over Belron and tackling him::

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Begin the installation.

EO_Belron says:
::slams into the floor, dazed::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: K'hora miscodes a sequence, since he is not much of a typist and has to look at the keys he is typing, and the sequence fouls up.

CNS_Vekh says:
::brings his boot up into whatever it was that knocked Belron over::

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::hears a beep and turns around:: XO: Engineering is coming back first... ::yanks the power cell out of his phaser and hooks it into the operations console in attempt to give it a boost, then tries to perform the lockout::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Self: Yintagh!

EO_Powers says:
::installs the backup::

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: The Bridge should be powering up within moments.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::tries again::

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Yes, we're getting some consoles back here now.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::ducks as a phaser blast streaks past his head::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The Captain's command console begins its power up sequence along with many of the primary consoles on the bridge. Emergency lighting is restored and they are now able to make out the shapes of the Judges in Main Engineering.

CNS_Vekh says:
::jumps at Belron's attacker with full force, trying to bring him/her down::

CEO_Yeung says:
::sees his console light up:: Self: Yes!

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::prays the phaser does not blow the console as he hooked it up kind of fast::

CEO_Yeung says:
::starts bringing up life support on decks 12 and 14::

Host XO_Linard says:
::heads to the Captain's console:: Self: Thank Goodness. ::begins to help locking down systems as the computer restarts::

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Good  work. *CEO*: Go for it Jon.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Belron and Vekh take on Anderson, pinning him to the ground. The other Judge, steps out of his hiding place with his weapon leveled at the warp core which is now back to full power.

Host Computer says:
CSO: Main Power restored.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::turns to see the second judge step out of his hiding place, phaser aimed at the warp core::

Host Judge says:
::holds his weapon pointed directly at the M/ARC Chamber door::

CNS_Vekh says:
::from his vantage point, sees what the other judge is attempting:: CTO: Cha`Dak! The Core!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Judge: No!

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::fires at the Judge::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::hears the  computer:: Self: So a hard boot at warp 8 can be done. ::grins::

CEO_Yeung says:
::releases the bulkheads surrounding deck 13::

Host XO_Linard says:
CEO: Seems we're back in business, Mister Yeung. ::smiles::

CNS_Vekh says:
::bring his fist up and down with full force at Anderson’s head::

Host Judge says:
::sees Cha`Dak’s finger move on his trigger and pulls his own, but he is knocked off balance by the Klingons phaser blast::

CEO_Yeung says:
::grins back:: XO: Good to be back in business.

EO_Powers says:
::grins::

Host Judge says:
::begins to fall backwards, as his weapon goes off::

::picks up his weapons and heads for Engineering::

Host XO_Linard says:
Self: Damn... CEO: Can you lock it down?

EO_Belron says:
CTO/CNS: Coolant leak! We've got to get out of here!

CEO_Yeung says:
XO: I'm trying, sir.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CPO: Lieutenant Hammond is still here somewhere!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The plasma coolant clouds itself around the Judge who begins to writhe and scream in pain as his flesh is eaten away.

OPS_Edgemoor says:
::notices power loss within the warp core :: XO: Warp power reserves are dropping quickly!

Host XO_Linard says:
CEO: Take the warp core offline, again, until we get this mess cleaned up.

CEO_Yeung says:
*Engineering*: Evacuate Main Engineering! Evacuate it now!

Host CSO_Storal says:
*Security*: All teams report to deck 13.

CEO_Yeung says:
::takes the core offline::

CIV_Lu says:
::looks around confused::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Sir, we cannot evacuate! We still have crew down here! I'm going after Lieutenant Hammond!

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Engineering crew begin to pile out of Main Engineering, confused as they had no idea what was going on.

CMO_Naegle says:
::watches the more experienced bridge officers do their jobs::

Host XO_Linard says:
CEO: See what teams you can get down there to seal that leak.

Host CSO_Storal says:
*XO*: Were headed back to the bridge.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CSO*: Understood.

CEO_Yeung says:
::establishes forcefields around the leak::

CIV_Lu says:
::rushes past the evacuating crewmembers::

CNS_Vekh says:
::seeing no other attacker, gets out from behind the console he's hiding behind and heads for the Master Situation Display, looking for damages::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Computer: Computer, estimate time before coolant levels become life threatening!

CMO_Naegle says:
::thinks that she is glad Storal has come back::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::enters the turbolift and waits for the EO:: Computer: Bridge.

Host Computer says:
CTO: Toxic levels predicted in 3 seconds...

Host XO_Linard says:
*CTO*: Where is Lieutenant Hammond?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
SO: Lieutenant Hammond!

CIV_Lu says:
CTO: Commander is everyone out?

CEO_Yeung says:
OPS: Can you beam them out?

CNS_Vekh says:
::taps the console, calling up information on the leaks progress and the schematics of the coolant pipeline:: Self: Where do I divert this flow to?

Host XO_Linard says:
::heads to her console and checks the toxic levels::

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: Evacuation doors fall into place as the last of the crew make it out of Main Engineering as the coolant passes human tolerances.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Computer: Computer, locate Lieutenant Hammond...

EO_Powers says:
CSO: That was interesting.

Host XO_Linard says:
*CTO*: Commander, get out of there now!

CNS_Vekh says:
::jumps under the bulkhead just before it closes::

Host Computer says:
CTO: Lieutenant Hammond is in the Chief Engineer's Office.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::drags Captain Lu under the doors just in time::

Host CSO_Storal says:
EO: Yes it was.  I’m going to have to write the institute on that. ::grins.

EO_Powers says:
::grins::

CEO_Yeung says:
::works on the engineering systems trying to flush the coolant out into space::

Host CSO_Storal says:
::exits the turbolift and walks onto the bridge:: CEO: Status report?

CIV_Lu says:
::picks himself up:: CTO: Thank you Commander.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: At the science console on the bridge, Commander Naegle is running a scan of Main Engineering and detects a lifesign in the CEO's Office.

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
Computer: Computer, can you get a transporter lock on Lieutenant Hammond?

CNS_Vekh says:
CTO: Where's Hammond? ::looks around, cursing under his breath as he runs toward a nearby locker to pick up a radiation suit::

Host Computer says:
CTO: Transporters have been disabled at your location.

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: I've detected a life sign in the Chief Engineer’s Office. It could be Lieutenant Hammond.

Host XO_Linard says:
::looks to the CSO and nods, a slight grin on her face:: CSO: Good work Commander.

Host XO_Linard says:
CMO: Can you transport him out?

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
::curses at the computer in ancient Klingon:: CNS: He's in the Chief Engineers office. He may be protected from the plasma leak there.

CNS_Vekh says:
::quickly suits up the radiation suit and returns to the Main Engineering doors:: CTO: Move off Mister Cha`Dak. Have Doctor Naegle here. I'll go after Hammond.

Host CSO_Storal says:
XO: Thank you, sir. ::heads over to Science  One:: CMO: I’ll take  it from here Lieutenant.  ::grins::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
CNS: Aye sir.

CMO_Naegle says:
XO: I can try. ::locks onto the SO’s combadge and initiates transport::

Host XO_Linard says:
*CNS/CTO*: What's going on down there? Is everyone out?

EO_Powers says:
CEO: Did I miss anything?

CMO_Naegle says:
CSO: I hope I didn't break anything. ::grins::

CTO_Cha`Dak says:
*XO*: Sir, everyone except Mister Hammond. He's in the Chief Engineer’s Office.

CEO_Yeung says:
EO: Only that we'll have a big mess in engineering to clean up.

Host Jafo says:
ACTION: The doctor locks onto Mister Hammond's combadge and beams him out of the CEO's office and into sickbay where his plasma burns can be treated.
