::receiving the department reports on his console::
CO_Linard says:
:: is walking down the hall toward sickbay::
CMO_Naegle says:
::in Sickbay finishing up the report to send to the XO's console::
CTO_Yeung says:
::on bridge, manning tactical::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::steps out of his quarters looking at a padd disturbed by the events that had transpired earlier and sighs::
FCO_Terman says:
::in his room, resting::
CMO_Naegle says:
::tags a note on the end of the report reminding the XO it's time for his physical::
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Jon I noticed the firing rate was slow in your report. Did you get that fixed?
CO_Linard says:
::enters sickbay and looks around for the CMO::
CSO_Bern says:
::sitting in his chair, but facing the viewscreen, working on the science department's duty roster and shift assignments on his PADD::
CMO_Naegle says:
::walks out of her office after sending the report and sees the Captain coming in:: CO: Captain!  How good to see you.  How are you?
FCO_Terman says:
::his alarm blares, sending him jumping three feet out of his bed and landing him on the floor beside it:: Computer: Computer! Alarm off!
CTO_Yeung says:
XO: Yeah, the launching mechanism was a bit stuck. We got that fixed.
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Do you know what caused it?
CO_Linard says:
::smiles:: CMO: Not too bad actually, I just came in for my monthly check.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::steps onto a turbolift switching to a view of the daily work orders:: TL: Bridge.
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: CO: Ah that's right. To see if you can stay off the Lexorin. Well, have a seat.
CTO_Yeung says:
XO: There was some leftover cleaning fluid that dried off in it. Someone didn't do a good job of cleaning up.
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Who was last scheduled on that area?
FCO_Terman says:
::gets dressed, rubbing his sore posterior:: Self: Ow...
CMO_Naegle says:
::picks up her medical tricorder and begins scanning the captain.::
CO_Linard says:
::nods and sits up on the biobed:: CMO: I have to say, I've been nervous to use my abilities very much... but my paracortex doesn't seem to be giving me trouble. I've been able to communicate with Comman..... ::grins::.... well.... do a little telepathy anyway....
CTO_Yeung says:
::checks the maintenance log:: XO: It was a technician from the Eridani shipyards.
CMO_Naegle says:
::nods understandingly as she scans:: CO: While you're at it, tell him to report for his physical, will you? ::grins::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::steps off the bridge carrying his padd glancing up to see where he's walking and moves to his console::

ACTION: a light blinks on the Tactical console

CSO_Bern says:
::hands his PADD to his science officer::  S'klar: Does that check out? ::stretches, sprawling and abruptly slouching down in his chair, nearly falling off entirely::
CTO_Yeung says:
::checks what caused the blip on his console::
XO_Storal says:
CTO: I see, Ill have to send a report on that. That was a serious oversight.
CO_Linard says:
::smirks and nods:: CMO: I don't think he's ever been for very many...... ::grins::.... want to know what I'd do, if I were you?
CTO_Yeung says:
XO: Sir, I'm picking an unclear number of ship on the edge of our long range sensors.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::takes his seat and puts his padd away overhearing the CTO's remarks and brings his console up to his configuration::
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Can you identify them?
CMO_Naegle says:
::leans in conspiratorially:: CO: What would you do?
FCO_Terman says:
::exits his quarters and heads for the nearest turbolift::
CTO_Yeung says:
::tries to get more information, then shakes his head:: XO: No, I can't get much from our current distance.
CO_Linard says:
:;smirks:: CMO: Well, when I was CMO of the USS Hayden, I had an XO who just about refused to report for his physicals.... so.... instead of dragging him in by his ears.... I went to see him on the bridge
XO_Storal says:
CTO: What’s their location?
CO_Linard says:
CMO: Gave him his physical right there in front of everyone...... ::grins::.... never missed a physical again.....
CSO_Bern says:
<S'klar> SO: It calculates correctly. ::tilts his head slightly:: However, I find it curious that you have decided to assign me as lead to the Beta team. I was of the impression that you and Mister Howlingwolf did not work well together.
CMO_Naegle says:
::finishes up her scans on the paracortex and logs the results::
XO_Storal says:
::paces the bridge a bit::
CMO_Naegle says:
::laughs:: CO: I'm sure Kylorean would love that, wouldn't he?  A physical on the bridge?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::checks the distance to the perimeter of the starbase 366 and brings up more power to sensors::
CO_Linard says:
:;grins:: CMO: Just promise me you won't tell him I put you up to it....
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Commander, when you have a moment, I am having personnel difficulties.  I'd like to iron them out when you have a chance, sir.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: What’s our ETA to SB 366?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Sure thing Lt.
CSO_Bern says:
::sits up straight and turns his chair back to his console::  S'klar:  Yeah, well, I'm not in the mood to discuss that at the moment...but I think we can work our...um, creative differences out.  It looked a little top-heavy, is all, what with you and I both on the Alpha shift.
CMO_Naegle says:
::grins mischevously::CO: I was hoping we could spring it on him now.
FCO_Terman says:
::enters the turbolift, yawning:: TL: Bridge,
CTO_Yeung says:
::re-checks his data:: XO: Those ships seem to be on the edge of the Kyntel Nebula.
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Just over 24 hours at present speed, sir. ::rechecks his estimate and confirms it::
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CMO: GO for it...
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Contact SB 366 and notify them of the group of unidentified vessels in the vicinity of the Kyntel Nebula. Maybe their sensors can get a better read.
CMO_Naegle says:
::looks around:: CO: I don't have a whole lot to do right now, I've sent the report.  So, I'm going to the bridge.  Care to join me?
CSO_Bern says:
::pulls up sensor readings on his console to find out what the crew has been talking about from the pieces he's overheard::
FCO_Terman says:
::stretches and rubs his eyes as the TL door opens, exposing his tiredness to the bridge staff::
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: CMO: Lead the way Doctor.
CSO_Bern says:
<S'klar> CSO: Are you implying that you do not have confidence in the abilities of Mister Howlingwolf?
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Aye sir.  COMM: Starbase 366: USS Apache to Starbase 366.  Please come in, we are reading a number of unidentified vessels on the edge of the Kyntel Nebula, request identification.
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles and begins to march toward the exit:: CO: Very well . . . to the bridge!

ACTION: Terman's back crack loudly and he falls to the floor in pain

CTO_Yeung says:
OPS: Can you boost the range of the sensors, Lt.?
XO_Storal says:
::turns around startled:: FCO:Mr. Terman,  are you ok?
CO_Linard says:
::exits sickbay and enters the TL:: TL: Bridge
CSO_Bern says:
S'klar:  Nooo...that's not what I'm implying at all.  ::takes the PADD back::  I'll work on this later. <S'klar> ::somewhat puzzled, yet simply turns and focuses on his console:: CSO: Aye sir.
FCO_Terman says:
::lets a shrill squeak go as he falls to the ground:: Self: Ahh! I'm dying!
OPS_Sorsion says:
::hears a crash and turns towards the turbolift before hearing the CTO and then looking back to the consoles:: CTO: Boosting power to sensor systems, now at 105%. ::increases power as stated::
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: This is going to be too funny.
CO_Linard says:
::smirks:: CMO: Bring the mountain to Mohammed I say...
Starbase 366 says:
COM: Apache: We copy you Apache. Our most recent scans show nothing at all. There are no registered ships on the Dockmaster manifest on that location
CTO_Yeung says:
::looks up from his console at the FCO's antics, then looks back at his console::
CO_Linard says:
::stands in the TL with the CMO::
CTO_Yeung says:
::tries to get a better scans this time::
CSO_Bern says:
::slowly swivels his chair back around::  Self: Dying? ::raises an eyebrow...wasn't aware anything drastic had happened...not this time, at least::
FCO_Terman says:
::sobs:: Self: I'll never walk again. Oh the humanity!
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: What makes him so afraid of physicals?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::puts the comm. from the starbase on loud speakers before reporting it:: XO: Starbase 366 is unable to identify them Commander.
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Scratch that sir, they're not reading anything at all. Could they be sensor ghosts?
XO_Storal says:
CSO: Mr Bern, run a level three diagnostics on long range sensors.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: It could be.
CO_Linard says:
:;shakes her head:: CMO: I'm not sure really.... ::exits the TL onto the bridge with the CMO::
CSO_Bern says:
::peeks under the tactical console and in between the command chairs to see the helmsman immobile on the deck...blinks several times, then turns back to my console:: Self: That's odd. XO: Aye sir.
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Recommend we go to Yellow alert as a precaution. ::gets tired of the FCO's moaning:: *Sickbay*: Bridge to sickbay, medical emergency on the turbolift.
CMO_Naegle says:
::sees Terman on the floor and gets out her medikit:: FCO: What happened to you?
XO_Storal says:
CSO: Launch a class III probe.
OPS_Sorsion says:
*Sickbay*: Nevermind sickbay, CMO's here. CMO: Good to see your response time so quick.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Not until we know that they aren’t sensor ghosts.
CO_Linard says:
::looks around the bridge and instinctively takes her seat:: XO: Report, Commander?
FCO_Terman says:
CMO: I was stretching, and then... oh, boohoo... it just snapped!
CMO_Naegle says:
::gets out her tricorder:: FCO: Relax, Jordan.
CSO_Bern says:
S'klar:  Watch the short range board while I take care of this... ::begins the level three on long range sensors::
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Understood sir. ::spots the Captain and turns briskly in his seat back toward his console::
XO_Storal says:
CO: Sir, tactical reported a group of unidentified vessels in the vicinity of the Kyntel Nebula
CMO_Naegle says:
OPS: I was coming up her on another errand anyway.
FCO_Terman says:
CMO: ::incredulously:: relax? My back just broke like a twig and you want me to relax?
XO_Storal says:
CO: We are running a level three diagnostic of sensors to see if they are ghosts
CSO_Bern says:
::checks the status of each pallette and the deflector dish while he's at it, just in case...feels rather ill-at-ease since the incident in the other dimension::
CO_Linard says:
XO: Ghosts? Why would you think that?
OPS_Sorsion says:
CMO: Very good Doctor. ::nods and turns back to his console after turning back again::
XO_Storal says:
CO: we couldn’t get a positive read.
CMO_Naegle says:
::finishes up the scans and prepares a hypospray of pain reliever:: FCO: Jordan, you just stretched wrong. You'll be fine. ::administers the hypospray on the FCO:: FCO: That should take care of the pain.
CO_Linard says:
::is a little more clear:: XO: Understood. Is there any suspicious activity?
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Should we increase speed sir?
FCO_Terman says:
::blinks three times:: CMO: So... I will walk again?
XO_Storal says:
CO: Nothing yet.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: No steady as she goes Lt.
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: FCO: Get up and try, Lieutenant.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods again and rubs his neck:: XO: Aye sir.
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Anything new about those ships?
CMO_Naegle says:
::recalibrates her tricorder to Bajoran normal lifesigns as she waits for the FCO to quit whining::
FCO_Terman says:
::blushes a crimson red:: CMO: Oh... ::gets up and murmurs:: Thanks.
CTO_Yeung says:
::re-checks the sensors:: XO: They seem to be running from side to side of the nebula. Other than that, nothing else.
CO_Linard says:
::shifts in her seat and begins working at her console:: XO: Okay then, just keep watch for anything suspicious, maintain our course and speed for Starbase just the same
Unknown says:
COMM: Apache:  :::static::: Help ::static::
CMO_Naegle says:
::smiles:: FCO: You're welcome. All a part of the service.
CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Now then, Commander . . .
OPS_Sorsion says:
::checks his console and brings it up on speakers:: XO: Incomming hail sir.
XO_Storal says:
CMO: What?
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Lets have it Lt.?
FCO_Terman says:
::silently heads to his station:: Whoeverisinmyseat: ::whispered:: I can take over from here.
WhoeverisintheFCOseat says:
FCO: aye sir.
CO_Linard says:
::keeps her head down as she works at her console:: OPS: On screen, Mr Sorsian
CSO_Bern says:
::polls Engineering, who report they're checking the palletes' links now...looks at the chronometer::  Self:  Should be under five minutes... ::sighs a little, diagnostic-ed out for the time being::
CMO_Naegle says:
XO: If you would like, I could do a quick physical right here on the bridge. You won't have to leave.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::replays the hail and sends a response signal::
CO_Linard says:
::looks up and waits for the hail to play::
Unknown says:
COMM: Apache:  :::static::: Help ::static::
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO/CO: Aye sirs.
XO_Storal says:
::shudders and winces:: CMO: If you must.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Can you clean that up?
CO_Linard says:
OPS: Can you get a fix on the location?

ACTION: a smoke filled bridge is seen on a static filled screen. A man - whose race can barely be identified - is seen.

FCO_Terman says:
::sits down silently and then immediately goes to work doing pointless and menial tasks::
CMO_Naegle says:
::raises her tricorder to take the readings necessary for a physical exam::
CO_Linard says:
::looks at the XO and can't help but smirk, rises from her seat to stand between the FCO and OPS::
CO_Linard says:
OPS: Any luck, Mark?
CMO_Naegle says:
::notes brain function as normal, but blood pressure a little high, probably due to the situation::
XO_Storal says:
::mockingly:: CMO: That tickles. ::chuckles::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::puts static filtering on the screen and attempts to clean up the garbled signal:: COMM: Unidentified Man: This is the USS Apache, go ahead.
FCO_Terman says:
::so absorbed in his menial work that he doesn't even notice the CO come up::
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Trying sir.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Sir, I've established that it's coming from one of the three ships, would now be a good time to accelerate?
CO_Linard says:
::leans her hand on the back of the FCO's chair, watching the viewscreen::
CMO_Naegle says:
XO: You'll be happy to know the brain scan revealed nothing . . . er  . . . nothing wrong that is.
XO_Storal says:
CMO: Funny... ::grins::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::chuckles at the CMO's comment about the FCO:: Self: Indeed.
CSO_Bern says:
::over his shoulder, waiting for the diagnostic to complete:: CO: Closing distance would help strengthen the signal quite a bit, Captain.  ::leans back a little in his chair::
CO_Linard says:
::nods:: FCO: Change course to intercept, Mr. Terman.
XO_Storal says:
CO: So much for the ceremony...
CO_Linard says:
FCO: Warp 7, engage....
CMO_Naegle says:
::notes heart rate is high as well, attributes that to stress, notes high adrenaline levels::
FCO_Terman says:
::immediately switches to the course the CO ordered and warps away::
XO_Storal says:
OPS/CTO: Yellow Alert.
CO_Linard says:
::looks back at the XO and grins, pretending to be disappointed:: XO: Oh darn....
CTO_Yeung says:
XO: Aye, aye. ::turns on yellow alert::
CMO_Naegle says:
::closes up tricorder:: XO: I much prefer torturing you in Sickbay. But this has been fun.
CO_Linard says:
::turns and walks back to her seat, grinning at the CMO:: CMO: So, is my First Officer fit for duty Doctor?
XO_Storal says:
CMO: Torturing?! I’ll remember that when evaluation time rolls around. Ens. Naegle. ::chuckles::
CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Ensign!! Oh no!
CO_Linard says:
::scowls at the XO:: XO: Now now, Commander. She's just doing her job.....
XO_Storal says:
::winks at the CMO then sits down::
CMO_Naegle says:
CO: He's absolutely 100% Bajoran ready, Captain.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::diverts power to all essential systems including shields and weapons preparing them at hot standby shields being up::
CMO_Naegle says:
::Chuckles at the XO:: XO/CO: You're both fit for duty.
CO_Linard says:
CMO: Wonderful.
CTO_Yeung says:
::re-checks his sensors::

ACTION: the Apache closes in to the nebula and the ships flying by. Sensors will be getting clearer with time, but not much

XO_Storal says:
OPS: Contact SB 366 and notify them that we will be delayed. Appraise them of the situation.
CO_Linard says:
FCO: What's our ETA, Lieutenant?
CMO_Naegle says:
::watches the goings on on the bridge as they head to the nebula::
FCO_Terman says:
CO: ::quickly:: Around8minutessir.
CSO_Bern says:
::polls Engineering again, as it's been close to fifteen minutes since the level three diagnostic began...mutters unintelligibly to himself::
XO_Storal says:
CSO: Status on the diagnostic Lt?
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Aye sir.  COMM: SB 366: Starbase 366 come in, this is the USS Apache.  There will be a delay in our arrival as we inspect the ships in the Kyntel nebula.
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Talk to me Jon.. what are we dealing with?
FCO_Terman says:
::slows down his speech:: CO: Around 8 minutes.
CSO_Bern says:
XO:  Incomplete, sir...minor hardware checks are taking a little longer than -- ::presses the button to receive the report nearly before it can quietly beep:: Check that. Diagnostic returned okay...no anomalies found.
CO_Linard says:
::nods to the FCO:: FCO: Thank you, Mr. Terman
CTO_Yeung says:
XO: There are 3 ships, and pretty small. I'd say they're a fighter class.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::rechecks power system for any anomalies and maintains redundancy for all systems::
CTO_Yeung says:
XO: They're in a wedge formation, one ahead and two behind him.
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Are their weapons armed?
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Mr. Bern, is there anything in that Nebula that would give them cause to be there?
OPS_Sorsion says:
::runs a trace route program and discovers the source of the hail:: CO: Communication received from the lead ship.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: That is the prior one, sir.
CO_Linard says:
OPS: The distress call?
CSO_Bern says:
Self: Hmm... ::sees some energy readings that are not consistent with the nebula activity::  CO: Not that I can tell...but I think I'm picking up weapons fire. That's not a positive, because the nebula's interfering a bit, but I'm... ::scratches his head:: ninety percent certain that's the case...
CTO_Yeung says:
::checks:: XO: No, they don't seem to be.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Aye sir.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: The two fighters to the rear of the formation seem to be firing on the lead.
FCO_Terman says:
::has a feeling that they shouldn't get involved with these peoples affairs::
CMO_Naegle says:
CSO: Shall I give you a hand, Mr. Bern?
CO_Linard says:
CSO: Are we close enough to get a reading on what kind of vessels?
XO_Storal says:
CTO: Can you identify the ships other then their configuration?
CTO_Yeung says:
::checks the sensor readings to ships in the databanks for ships of those size::
CO_Linard says:
OPS: Send a message to the ship that sent the distress call, let them know we're on our way.
CSO_Bern says:
CO: No sir, not yet. CMO: Feel free, Doctor. S'klar: Take five.
CMO_Naegle says:
::walks over to an auxiliary science station to lend a hand.::
XO_Storal says:
::fights the urge to crack his neck knowing Dr. Naegle is in the room::
CSO_Bern says:
<S'klar>  ::raises an eyebrow, nearly speechless::
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Aye sir.  ::dials up the communications array:: COMM: Lead Vessel: USS Apache to unidentified vessel, please respond.  We are making our way to you currently, we should be with you momentarily.  Please acknowledge.
FCO_Terman says:
CO: 2 minutes to intercept.
CTO_Yeung says:
XO: They seem to be mismatched fighters. Hulls from Peregrine-class fighters, a lot of other parts are from civilian craft. They don't have any markings.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CTO: Could those be Maquis vessels?
CO_Linard says:
::rises from her seat again and takes her position behind OPS and FCO::
CMO_Naegle says:
S'klar: It's okay, I'm not trying to take away your job. I just know that they usually need all the help they can get at times like this.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::looks up and sighs as he continues his work::
Lead Vessel says:
COMM: Apache: Help. I'm alone here. I'm G'kar of the Savasti
XO_Storal says:
CMO/CSO: Scan the vessels for lifesigns, maybe we can find out more that way.
CTO_Yeung says:
OPS: It's a possibility. They could have survived the Dominion and Cardassian attacks.
XO_Storal says:
::hears the message:: Self: The Savasti?
CSO_Bern says:
<S'klar>  CMO: I assure you, it is quite all right, Doctor. It seems I will be assigned to a different shift, at any rate.  It is no problem.  ::promptly turns and leaves to the turbolift::
CO_Linard says:
FCO: Are we within visual range of the ships yet?
CMO_Naegle says:
XO: Aye, Sir, ::begins scanning::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::puts the message through to the Captain:: CO: You're on ma'am.
CSO_Bern says:
::checks for lifesigns concurrently with Naegle, as the Commander requested::
CO_Linard says:
COMM: G'Kar: This is Captain Linard of the USS Apache. Can you tell me what your status is?

ACTION: the vessels tagging along the lead one are scrambling the transmission. One of them manages to get a shot on the starboard engine of the G’Kar’s ship. He returns fire, hitting dead on the vessel on the port side, that blows up into nothingness

FCO_Terman says:
CO: Yes.
CMO_Naegle says:
::decides to ignore S'klar, sensing a departmental issue::
CO_Linard says:
FCO: On screen
FCO_Terman says:
::presses the big 'on screen' button::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::watches as the performance before them goes on::
XO_Storal says:
CO: Perhaps we can lock onto both ships with a tractor beam and figure out both sides to this issue?

ACTION: the lead vessel ducks into the nebula for his life

CSO_Bern says:
::glances toward the turbolift a moment, wondering whether it's possible for a Vulcan to get bent out of shape::
CTO_Yeung says:
CO: Lead vessel just went into the nebula, captain.
FCO_Terman says:
::checks out their shuttle roster on the spur of an idea:: CO: We could conceivably beam the ship into our shuttle bay, it's small enough... of course, we'd have to convince it to slow down if we were going to do that...
CO_Linard says:
::nods over her shoulder at the CTO:: OPS: Hail the remaining vessel
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: That would be in clear violation of the Prime Directive sir, would it not?  We received a distress signal from the lead vessel, we must assist them.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Aye sir. ::activates a hailing frequency and aims it at both vessels in the rear of the lead vessel::
Starboard Fighter says:
::a bald man is seen on screen, possibly Deltan:: COMM: Apache: Get out of here. Nothing of your business
XO_Storal says:
OPS: No. We would be responding to the distress call and investigating the reason for this attack.
CSO_Bern says:
::tries to locate the lead vessel, but quickly realizes he probably won't be able to scan any farther than a few meters into the nebula::
CO_Linard says:
COMM: Bald Man: That is correct, but we were called here to help, I'm afraid we can't ignore that.....
FCO_Terman says:
::preps for some duck hunt in the nebula::

ACTION: the second fighter follows the first one, firing like heck all the way into the nebula
CTO_Yeung says:
::prepares to target the remaining ship if it causes more trouble::
XO_Storal says:
OPS:A violation would be to help one side over the other. We would just be putting a stop to it temporarily.
CO_Linard says:
COMM: Bald Man: If you don't cease fire on the lead vessel, we will be forced to incapacitate you.
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: I see sir. Forgive me.
XO_Storal says:
OPS: It’s all right Lt. I appreciate you speaking your mind.
CO_Linard says:
::nods to the CTO:: Target his weapons and propulsion systems.
Bald man says:
COMM: Apache: You can sure try baby ::smiles at Linard and keep firing::
CSO_Bern says:
::knits his brow a moment, hoping the attacker doesn't set off any volatile gases in the nebula...though these types of nebula are usually quite stable, he still worries::
CO_Linard says:
::without looking back at the CTO:: CTO: Disable his vessel, Commander.
CTO_Yeung says:
::targets the ship's engines and weapons array:: CO: Ready to fire on your order, captain.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::raises an eyebrow at the bald man and prepares to divert all power to the weapons systems:: 

ACTION: the Apache is suddenly jolted by a series of impact explosions while the second fighter ducks into the nebula

CO_Linard says:
CTO: Red Alert!
OPS_Sorsion says:
::diverts power back to the shields while gripping his console::
XO_Storal says:
::braces after the impact:: CTO: what was that? Mines?
CTO_Yeung says:
::turns on red alert::
CO_Linard says:
::mutters:: Self: Why that little....FCO: Follow that vessel.....
CSO_Bern says:
Self: What on earth? ::quickly pulls up the sensor logs::
FCO_Terman says:
::immediately scans the vicinity to try to figure out what would try to dent his ship::
CTO_Yeung says:
::curses:: CO/XO: Gravitic mines, hidden by the nebula's interference.
CO_Linard says:
::strides back to her seat and flops down in the chair, a look of determination on her features::
XO_Storal says:
OPS: Damage report?
FCO_Terman says:
CO: With pleasure! ::has a predatory look on as he heads into the nebula::
OPS_Sorsion says:
::checks his reporting console:: XO: Coming in sir... Stand by.
CO_Linard says:
CTO: Can you determine their location so we can fly around them?
CTO_Yeung says:
CSO: Lt. Bern, try to re-tune the sensors to detect those mines.
CO_Linard says:
FCO: Slow to full impulse, Mr. Terman
OPS_Sorsion says:
XO: Nothing major sir, paint is scratched a bit, dorsal and fore shields down by 2%.  But we have lost the trail of the vessel as that gave him the time needed to enter the nebula.
CSO_Bern says:
CTO: I'll try...but we'll be flying almost completely blind in here. The sensors are giving out misreads already.
CTO_Yeung says:
CO: I could try a wide-beam phaser dispersal in front of us to clear out the mines.
FCO_Terman says:
::incredulously:: OPS: They scratched my paint! How dear they...
CO_Linard says:
CTO: True, but if that other ship is within range, we might take him out as well...::shakes her head::... it's too risky....
CO_Linard says:
OPS: See if you can get in touch with that other ship.
OPS_Sorsion says:
CO: Aye sir. ::sends a broadcast hail to the original vessel that sent the hail that remains still::
G’Kar says:
COMM: Apache: Federation vessel, I can hear you barely. I'm stuck here. I can't move our my nemesis will detect me. Please help
CO_Linard says:
COM: G'Kar: Stand by, we're attempting to locate you.
CO_Linard says:
CSO: See if you can find that vessel with what sensors we have. FCO: Is that ship small enough to be towed into our shuttlebay?
FCO_Terman says:
CO: Yes... it should fit
CO_Linard says:
FCO: Take us out of the Nebula so we can find G'Kar....
FCO_Terman says:
::sighs inwardly, wanting to show the baldie what happens to people who scratch his paint, but follows her orders::
CO_Linard says:
::smiles:: FCO: Patience Mr. Terman... we'll get him....
CSO_Bern says:
::sweeps the vicinity, checking for anything and everything that would signal where a vessel is or has been::
FCO_Terman says:
::looks over his shoulder at the captain:: CO: ::reproachfully:: It's awful rude for you to read other peoples thoughts, captain
OPS_Sorsion says:
::turns to the FCO:: CO: And inappropriate if I may add.
CO_Linard says:
::frowns:: FCO: I wasn't reading your thoughts Mr. Terman. Your actions speak for themselves....
CO_Linard says:
::looks at OPS:: OPS: As you were, Lieutenant
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods and keeps a poker face looking back at the viewscreen then down to his console::

ACTION: the sensors pick up the two ships. G'kar's still been chased, but most of the shots turn out missing their target due to lack of a good lock

G’kar says:
COMM: Apache: help I've been hit...::static::
FCO_Terman says:
::shakes his head and mutters something about damnable observant people::
CTO_Yeung says:
CO: Captain, we need to go in if we want to save him.
CTO_Yeung says:
CO: Perhaps we could send a shuttle? It's small enough to avoid the mines.
XO_Storal says:
CTO:I would advise against that, Its too dangerous
CO_Linard says:
::turns her attention back to the situation:: OPS: Tell him to head out of the Nebula. We'll be waiting to take him into our shuttlebay.
FCO_Terman says:
XO: I could get around the mines. And any stray weapons fire.
XO_Storal says:
FCO: I’m sure you could Lt. Ill keep that in mind.
OPS_Sorsion says:
::nods to the CO:: COMM: G'Kar: G'Kar, leave the nebula, you have the protection of the Federation starship USS Apache.
CSO_Bern says:
::notes the blip that is being attacked is listing into the nebula:: CO: Captain, G'kar's ship has lost engines. He won't be able to get free.  We'll have to go in after him.
