USS Apache - 10509.23 - "In the Shadows", Part XVIII

The Apache crew has finally reunited... but in the most unlikely of places, a Romulan War bird... With more questions than they have answers... And yet their resources are plentiful and inaccessible... Korata in the cargo bay... but which is the real one? ... Reyon who will give no answers... Two Johns, one original, the other a mysterious clone... Dessicans displaced... and a Starfleet signature detected, heading for the Belak System

<<<<<<<<<<<Begin>>>>>>>>>

CEO_Derryth says:
:: On bridge monitoring engineering panels ::

ACTION: The war bird is alone, in Romulan space... the shuttle docked securely in the war bird shuttlebay...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::nods to K'Tacht:: FCO: Hello, K'Tacht.  It's good to see you again.

CIV_Davis says:
::also on the Bridge, kind of a peripheral figure::

CNS_Solaa says:
::jumps out of the shuttle, phaser in hand::

CSO_Marsland says:
::steps out of the shuttlecraft, looking around::

SO_York says:
::trying to sync his Tricorder to the Romulan panel, since some errors have occurred in translation::

CTO_Ramor says:
::still sitting next to the SO, coming up with more cockymany ideas on how to get rid of the Pah'Wraith::

ACTION: The war bird nacelles continue to fluctuate in energy, much like the heaving of a dying animal...

SO_York says:
CTO: So, Sol. What now?

Composers says:
::in the shuttlebay watching the shuttle::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::eye grow wide and alert as he sees people coming out of the shuttle armed. Immediately takes a defensive posture::

EO_Daniels says:
::Heads out of the shuttlecraft behind the CSO, her hand on her phaser.::

ACTION: The linkup is successful, between the Tricorder and the Panel...

CIV_Davis says:
::casually runs a diagnostic on the engines::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
All: Holster your weapons, people!

CO_Storal says:
::slowly opens his eyes, and tries to sit up. Realizing he doesn’t have the strength he plops back down:: Aloud: This isn’t good....

SO_York says:
Self: Eureka!

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::eyes the XO, but keeps one eye on the CNS::

CMO_Powers says:
::smiles and waves at the people getting off the shuttle::

CTO_Ramor says:
SO: I'm stumped. It's an energy being, right? Shouldn't we be able to just disrupt it or cancel it out with another energy wave? The plasma flush should've canned it.

CNS_Solaa says:
::is startled by the Klingon about to shoot her:: FCO: Who the  hell are you?

CEO_Derryth says:
CTO/SO: I'd still like to have the conduits ready to try flushing that wraith right into the singularity drive.

EO_Daniels says:
::Hears the XO, and complies.::  XO:  Aye, Ma'am.

CSO_Marsland says:
::spots the Lieutenant:: FCO: Stand down, I'm the CSO of the Apache.

CTO_Ramor says:
CEO: Aye, sir. I'll line up for it while Mister York does the smart person stuff. ::starts lining up to go with that plan::

CSO_Marsland says:
::places his phaser back in its holster::

Sec_Abbott says:
::holds fast her phaser as she exits the shuttle into the shuttlebay::

CO_Storal says:
::turning his head to the side he tries to make out his surroundings, his vision is still hazy::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: Ryn, go check on the captain.

SO_York says:
::turns around and faces the CEO:: CEO: I still object sir. I want that noted in the log.

MO_Turok says:
::Stands looking at all the confusion::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::eases his stance:: XO : Sorry to have kept you waiting so long... Sir.

CIV_Davis says:
::notes the continuous fluctuations in the nacelles and attempts to find the cause::

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: Been enjoying yourself Tom?

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: It is noted.

CNS_Solaa says:
XO: He's awake? ::eyes the Klingon still, and jumps back into the shuttle::

SO_York says:
::nods grimly at the CEO:: CEO: Aye aye.

Dessican Fifth Minister says:
::meekly, he stands, poking his head through the doors:: CNS: You people have some impressive connections.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Captain? You awake? ::bends down::

CO_Storal says:
Self: Well I can wiggle my toes and fingers...so all is good there...

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: You....

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
FCO: That's quite all right, Lieutenant.  Give me a short report on what's been happening on your end.

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: You're the damn reason we're out here to begin with!

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: You...

CNS_Solaa says:
Dessican Fifth: Yes, we do. ::grins proudly::

EO_Daniels says:
CSO:  Is this .. The real John Powers?  ::Pokes the CMO to be sure.::

SO_York says:
CTO: Alright, before I do the smart person stuff, we need to make plan.

CNS_Solaa says:
::perks her ears up:: Self: John?

ACTION: Inside the shuttle lies the clone of John Powers... minus the symbiont... lying in a sort of state...

CMO_Powers says:
::pokes the EO:: EO: That's just rude.

CEO_Derryth says:
:: Begins programming a sequence that will flush plasma into the singularity, as well as vice versa... venting it out of the ship::

CO_Storal says:
::sees a blurry shape and hears a mumble coming from it. He tries to get the image to focus by squinting::

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: I never asked you to come and find me.

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks at the clone John against the wall and then looks outside::

EO_Daniels says:
::Giggles and whispers to the CSO.::  CSO:  Yup, I think he's real.  Sounds like him.  ::smiles sweetly at the CMO.::

CTO_Ramor says:
SO: I'm all ears. Make a joke about that and get punched, though.

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: I didn't abandon the Federation, either.

SO_York says:
Self: Wait...wait I'm remembering something about energy beings.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
XO : Well.. Maybe Mister Ryushi will be able to explain it all better.. He's been in command for all this time.

CIV_Davis says:
::looks at York, not sure of what is going on, and trusting the opinion of the Ensign more and more courtesy of this mission::

CO_Storal says:
Aloud: Where...am...I..?

EO_Daniels says:
CMO:  We have your twin in the shuttle.  He looks .. ::touches him again.::  yup - just like you.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: JOHN! ::jumps out of the shuttle once again::

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: There will probably be a lot of energy discharge if we do try this, I want to find the Romulan equivalent of a deflector array and set it to expel any excess energy we may run into.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
FCO: Very well. Is there anyplace where we can all gather on this ship?

CMO_Powers says:
CSO: Abandon the Federation! Is that what you think I was doing?

ACTION: The fluctuations become more pronounced, and begin to appear more prominently on a console beside York...

CIV_Davis says:
CEO, SO: We're already having fluctuations with the warp engines.  Do we really want to be tossing more energy around the ship like this?

CMO_Powers says:
EO: Twin? ::isn't sure what to make of that statement::

SO_York says:
::starts studying the console while trying to remember what he needs::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CNS: Counselor, the Captain!!!???

CSO_Marsland says:
CMO: Who knows what you were doing anymore, John... we can talk about this after we get out of this mess.  I'm going to the bridge.

CNS_Solaa says:
::runs right up to the CMO to hug him, but stops halfway... staring at him to make sure he's the real one::

EO_Daniels says:
CMO:  Go look - there are two of you.

CO_Storal says:
::rolls on his side, but doesn’t realize he has momentum as he completely rolls out of the bed and plops on the floor with a loud thud::

CSO_Marsland says:
::walks out of the shuttlebay, bound for the bridge::

CEO_Derryth says:
CIV: Do you have any thoughts then?

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: What's wrong love?

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::nods:: XO : Yes ma'am.. There's a sort of conference room off of the bridge.

ACTION: Though the CO is awake, he is still somewhat disoriented... the wind knocked out of him, in a weakened state...

SO_York says:
All: Tetryon radiation! That's it !

CIV_Davis says:
::looks at York again::  SO: What about it?

CNS_Solaa says:
::smacks him across the face:: CMO: Sometimes I hate you, John Powers. I really do. We've been searching the galaxy for you, you know!

CO_Storal says:
Aloud: Yup...I'm alive...that hurt.

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: What about it?

MO_Turok says:
::Looks at the CO fall:: Self: Hmm, I bet that hurt.

CIV_Davis says:
::stands and approaches York's console::

CTO_Ramor says:
::looks at the SO:: SO: Yes, clearly! What are you talking about?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
FCO: Very well.  All: We're all meeting in the conference room in 10 minutes!

CMO_Powers says:
::rubs his face:: CNS: It's nice to see you too.

SO_York says:
All: It has been known to have an effect on energy beings and was once used to expel Pah'Wraiths from their host bodies!

CSO_Marsland says:
::steps into the Romulan version of a turbo lift, and sets it to go to the bridge::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
XO : I can fill you in on what happened after we were taken captive by the Romulans...

CIV_Davis says:
::takes up position behind York, glancing over his shoulder at the console as he listens::

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: Well then... are there any ill effects to the host bodies by this radiation?

SO_York says:
::starts going through the Romulan database::

CNS_Solaa says:
::grabs his hand:: CMO: C'mon... the Captain is awake but hurt. You're the doctor after all...

CIV_Davis says:
SO: Does it have any effects on other life forms, like us?

SO_York says:
CEO: None, not unless the exposure is far too long.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
FCO: Go ahead.

CO_Storal says:
::tries to get up, but only makes it on to his knees. Once again he looks around trying to make out his surroundings.::

CNS_Solaa says:
::secretly trying to keep from crying, she's so happy::

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: Can we rig a tetryon pulse here in the ship?

Sec_Abbott says:
::turns and re-enters the shuttle, looking in on the Captain:: CO: Sir, you are awake! :;goes to him to help him up::

ACTION: The two Dessicans step out into the shuttlebay... leaving the unconscious Lant...

Dessican Third Minister:
XO: This is outrageous... 

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CMO: And Dr. Powers, it is good to see you again.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
XO : Well... Our science officer managed to smuggle his PADD with him... And we used it to knock out the Romulans that came to interview us...

CO_Storal says:
::quickly turns his head towards the sound:: Aloud: Who...Where am I?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Dessican Third Minister: I don't have time to deal with you, sir.

CIV_Davis says:
::taps the console to York's left, glancing at schematics of the war bird::

CNS_Solaa says:
::tugs the CMO along:: CMO: C'mon, c'mon...

CMO_Powers says:
::follows the CNS into the shuttle:: XO: I think me, you and the CO need a little talk.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Sec: Mind the guests.

CIV_Davis says:
CEO, SO:  I don't see why not.

EO_Daniels says:
::Taps her comm badge and decides to check in with the CEO.::  *CEO*:  This is Cadet Daniels.  Might I have your position so that I can check in with you?

SO_York says:
All: We should be able to flood the nacelles with tetryon radiation, and only the decks closest should be affected too.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CMO: I understand.  Would you mind checking on the CO?  He's been hurt.

CNS_Solaa says:
::once they get into the shuttle, she hugs him::

CSO_Marsland says:
::steps out onto the bridge, looking to see who's there::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
XO : And I.. Uhh... Accidentally killed one of them before that ::cringes:: Anyways.. After we left the cell, we managed to get access to the internal system due to our Romulan knowing CTO, and proceeded to knock out all the Romulans on the ship.

CMO_Powers says:
XO: Aye sir.

ACTION: The "heaving" grows heavier, faster...

Sec_Abbott says:
::nods at the XO:: XO: Yes, Sir..... CO: You are in a shuttle aboard a Romulan War bird. We have just met up with our crew from the Apache, Sir.

CMO_Powers says:
::heads over to the CO:: CNS: Is there a medikit in here?

CSO_Marsland says:
CIV: Report, Lieutenant.

CEO_Derryth says:
All: Let's get on it... we can probably configure the forcefield generators on all decks to emit the pulse.

ACTION: The CSO nearly trips over an unconscious Romulan.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
FCO: Well, at least you didn't kill all of them.  Where are the Romulans we detected on this ship?

CSO_Marsland says:
::sidesteps the unconscious one, and eyes the CIV::

CIV_Davis says:
::looks at Marsland curiously, only having a vague recollection of who he is::

CO_Storal says:
::as his vision slowly clears he can her the female voice, but can’t make out the body its coming from:: Shape: Kath..? Is that you?

CEO_Derryth says:
*EO*: Yes Cadet, I'm on the bridge. I will be waiting for you.

SO_York says:
CEO: We don't need to do that, the nacelles are rigged to flush matter and particles through them.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: I think Turok had one... I don't know where he went to though...

CIV_Davis says:
CSO: We may have a way to expel the Pah’Wraiths from the ship...we've been having some problems with them.  The Chief and Mr. York have been working on it.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: John... where have you been?

CTO_Ramor says:
CEO: Sir, we need to do that fast. If we don't get rid of that Pah'Wraith soon, we're bound to attract attention. Either we get rid of it, or we drop the cloak and at least don't look like we have our back ends sticking out.

CSO_Marsland says:
::holds his hands up:: CIV: Slow down... Pah’Wraiths?

Sec_Abbott says:
::feels her heart sink as Storal mentions his passed wife:: CO: No, Sir. It is Security Chief Abbott...

EO_Daniels says:
*CEO*:  Aye, Sir.  I'm on my way.

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: If the wraith is on board I'd like to take the extra precaution, set them both up.

CIV_Davis says:
CSO: Yes sir.  We encountered them on the Apache, and it looks like they're here too in some form or another.

CIV_Davis says:
CSO:  It's a long story, sir.  The bottom line is that they are here, and there is an imminent threat that we need to resolve.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
XO : Well, I asked Ensign Ramor to beam every one she could find onto a cargo bay and then secure it..

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: It's complicated...

ACTION: Lights begin to flicker, in tandem with the heaving... the Pah'Wraith is dying...

SO_York says:
CEO: With all due respect sir, you would do better rigging the forcefields, I'm just a scientist, not a rocket scientist.

CMO_Powers says:
::checks on the CO:: CNS: Has he been shot?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
FCO: Acknowledged.  Now, we need to move all this crew to the conference room.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: I don't know... I don't remember... ::holds her head as she now has a headache::

CSO_Marsland says:
CIV: Very well. ::eyes the crew members present:: ALL: Who's in charge up here, and what's going on so far?

Dessican Third Minister says:
::he picks up the clone of John, and takes him out to the shuttlebay with everyone else...::

EO_Daniels says:
::Heads to the nearest TL, and orders it to the Bridge.::

CO_Storal says:
::finally gets on his feet, the sounds and sights are now clear:: Abbott: Thank you Mr. Abbott. ::tries to hide his disappointment but he doesn’t do to well:: Is everyone ok?

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: Alright, I'll do it. ::Begins tapping away at the engineering console::

SO_York says:
::sits down and spins his chair towards the panel again and starts working::

CIV_Davis says:
CSO: Ensign Derryth has been heading things up, sir.  ::points towards the Chief Engineer::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Sec/CMO: How's the captain doing?

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Whoa, whoa... sit down, Captain...

SO_York says:
::ignores everything else and starts trying to produce tetryon radiation and flush it into the nacelles::

EO_Daniels says:
::Exits the TL, and locates the CEO, heading in his direction.  Stands at attention.::  CEO:  Sir, Cadet Daniels reporting for duty, Sir.  How can I help?

CMO_Powers says:
XO: We should get him to the Romulan sickbay... not that I know where it is.

CO_Storal says:
::his legs suddenly go weak as he sits down:: CNS: Ryn?

CSO_Marsland says:
::eyes the CEO and heads on over:: CEO: Plans, Mister Derryth? And please, don't tell me they involve ejecting more warp cores?

CTO_Ramor says:
CEO: Sir, while he's working on that, I'd like to see what I can do about changing this vessel's command codes. You know, before someone notices a Tal Shiar vessel is missing and starts remoting us around.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
CMO: Very well, do it.

ACTION: As if causing the Pah'Wraith great pain, the energy levels spike in the warp nacelles... the lights flicker furiously...

CIV_Davis says:
::frowns, figuring this isn't the time for sarcasm::

SO_York says:
::he stops working and looks around:: Self: We need to hurry!

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
All except the Captain: I want everyone to gather in the conference room off the bridge.  Lieutenant K'Tacht knows where that is.  Follow him!

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Yes, I'm here.

CIV_Davis says:
::tries to reroute power around the warp core to minimize the impact on the core itself::

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Can you give me a hand getting the CO to sickbay?

Sec_Abbott says:
::gives an uncomfortable look to the XO and steps aside, letting the CMO do his work. She goes to the XO:: XO: He seems a little confused, Sir. He thought I was his... :: dramatic pause::... wife...

CEO_Derryth says:
EO/CSO: Glad to see you...CSO: We are preparing emissions of Tetryon radiation to rid our selves of our... guest, sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Of course! ::tries to hold the CO up::

Dessican Fifth Minister says:
::looks at the CMO:: CMO: ... You... you are the Original.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::groans:: Sec: Thank you.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::watches the lights flicker:: All : If you'd all follow me, please? ::heads over to the closest Turbolift::

CMO_Powers says:
Dessican: What? Who are you?

CO_Storal says:
::gets back on his feet:: CMO: Dr Powers?

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: They cloned you... you're sitting in the corner over there. ::points::

MO_Turok says:
::Grudgingly follows the FCO::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::begins to follow the FCO::

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: Very well, keep it up. Utilize Cadet Daniels if you need her.

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Yes sir. I've got to get you to the sickbay. Can you walk?

CSO_Marsland says:
CTO: Get to it, find a way to lock out this main computer or whatever it is.

Dessican Fifth Minister says:
CMO: Your genetic material will be well valued by our people.

SO_York says:
::begins to sweat while his fingers fly over the console:: CTO: Sol, is it getting hotter in here or is it just my anxiety spiking?

CEO_Derryth says:
EO: Cadet, If you could monitor the warp core, if it reaches a critical volume begin emitting the energy off the ship through the deflectors and disruptors.

CIV_Davis says:
CSO: Sir, I'm attempting to stabilize these power fluctuations, but they are very powerful and scattered through many parts of the ship.

CO_Storal says:
CMO: You are a hard person to find...I believe so. Im still a tad on the weak side. But I think I can make it.

ACTION: Suddenly, the energy fluctuations leave the nacelles... traveling through the power relay system...

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::enters the TL:: All : Only 4 others may enter.. The rest, wait for the next one, and head for the bridge..

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::watches to see that all in the shuttlebay are following the FCO::

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: We'll worry about him later... ::shoots and angry look at the Dessican::

CTO_Ramor says:
::grumbles, and starts doing her work, finding the access codes/command codes for the war bird and starting to change them, if possible:: SO: -you're doing fine. Heads up- see that?

CIV_Davis says:
::notes the movement of the fluctuations::

CEO_Derryth says:
::Readies the forcefield generators for the pulse emission::

CSO_Marsland says:
*XO*: Commander, I am on the bridge now. The CEO is working on finding a way to kill off a Pah'Wraith that is onboard with tetryon emissions, and the CTO is working on a way to lock out the computer of this thing so the Romulans can't use command codes against us.

SO_York says:
CEO: Sir! The Wraith is moving.

CSO_Marsland says:
CIV: Do what you can.

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: Where?

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::wonders how the heck he returned to Crowd control duty::

CMO_Powers says:
Dessican: Make yourself useful and take the clone to the sickbay.

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: Are the modifications ready?

CNS_Solaa says:
::helps the CO out of the shuttle:: CMO: C'mon, John... help... ::is starting to falter with the CO on her:: me.. He's heavy...

SO_York says:
CEO: In the power relay systems now.

ACTION: An energy signature materializes in the corridor, on the far end of the ship opposite the shuttlebay...

SO_York says:
CEO: One minute sir.

CMO_Powers says:
::helps the CO walk as the group goes on the hunt for sickbay::

EO_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CEO.::  CEO:  Aye, Sir.  Heads to an empty console and begins to watch the warp core levels.

CIV_Davis says:
::tries to create a tetryon barrier around the area where the warp core is, hoping to keep away the being and its influence over the engines::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
*CSO*: I'm on my way up that way now.  Thank you, Tom. I've called a meeting of the staff in the conference room off the bridge.

SO_York says:
CEO: I’m reconfiguring it to flush the whole ship now!

CIV_Davis says:
CSO: Aye, sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
*XO*: Very well, ma'am, who is to remain in charge here?

SO_York says:
::finishes up:: CEO: Ready sir.

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: The forcefields are ready...

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: Activate it.

Sec_Abbott says:
::follows everyone out of the shuttlebay and to the conference room::

SO_York says:
::looks at the CEO and nods:: CEO: Aye sir! ::activates the pulse::

CMO_Powers says:
::looks for a map or something on the walls::

CO_Storal says:
::walks toward sickbay with the help of the CMO and CNS:: CNS: Ryn..what happened on the station?

ACTION: The XO can hear a voice in her head... "... Revered one... Help me..."

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
*CSO*: You are in command of the bridge right now.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::turns around:: All: Who said that?

CTO_Ramor says:
All: Are we having fun yet? :: continues to do what she can with the computer systems ::

CSO_Marsland says:
*XO*: Aye aye, Commander.

CIV_Davis says:
::sees that the fluctuations are beginning to decrease slightly since the being left the nacelles::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::watches as the TL whirs into motion::

SO_York says:
::scans the power signatures:: Self: He's...darn.

MO_Turok says:
XO: Said what?

CMO_Powers says:
::finds where the sickbay is and heads that way::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I... I don't remember...

CO_Storal says:
CNS: The last thing I remember is an explosion and all the insurgents rushing into the area...then a fire fight began. Mr. Andropov was shot...then I was.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I think you go shot...

SO_York says:
*XO*: Ma'am! this is York, a Pah’Wraith is on your deck.

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: And where exactly are these emissions going to go? Not the people spaces, I presume.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::shakes head:: MO: Nothing, Turok, nothing.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Antropov... I think he's dead...

EO_Daniels says:
::Starts to vent some of the flow through the disruptors as ordered keeping a careful eye on the levels.::

CO_Storal says:
CNS: Was he the only casualty?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::thinking "that's what it was":: *SO*: I'm aware of that Ensign, it just tried to "speak" to me.

ACTION: The Tetryon pulses begin to flood the ship... and with each pulse, the Pah’Wraith shudders...

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Yes...

SO_York says:
::sees the wraith power levels shudder with each pulse::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
All on this deck: There's a Pah'Wraith on this deck, We need to investigate.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Don't you know where this Sickbay is? You've been on a Romulan ship all this time, right?

SO_York says:
CEO: We need to boost the density.

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: Make sure we don't irradiate the crew, Ensign..

Sec_Abbott says:
::whips out her phaser again:: XO: Aye Sir.

CNS_Solaa says:
::her visage darkens as she thinks about Korata::

EO_Daniels says:
CEO:  Sir, do we even know that this ship uses the same engineering principals that we are familiar with?

ACTION: The energy signature of the Pah’Wraith fluctuates, and continues to shift, across the deck... it is moving...

CO_Storal says:
CNS: Are we back on the Apache? ::looks around the ship:: No that's not right. This is a Romulan ship....Were we captured?

CEO_Derryth says:
CSO: Right sir.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::exits the TL, and watches for the rest of the people with him :: All : Now if you'd all just move in there ::points to a side door::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Sec: Come with me ::whips out a tricorder::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Ummm... no. Not really... It's very complicated and I'm not sure what's going on, myself.

CIV_Davis says:
::continues monitoring the EPS and ODN systems::

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I think it's this way. ::leads the others into the turbolift type thing::

CEO_Derryth says:
CSO: There are medical crew on board, perhaps we should have them prepare something.

SO_York says:
CSO: Sir, the crew can be treated later with a simple shot. We need to kill that thing.

MO_Turok says:
::Follows the XO::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I think the rest of the Apache crew caught up with us. I heard Ryushi's voice over the comm.

ACTION: The voice appears again... "... Help me... Amolana..."

Sec_Abbott says:
::nods and follows the XO::

CSO_Marsland says:
SO: A simple shot does not cure radiation poisoning, Ensign...  Do what you all have to do to kill this thing, but minimize the crews' exposure.

CO_Storal says:
CNS:I see.. CMO: What about yourself John? what happened?

SO_York says:
Self: Okay 2 shots.

CEO_Derryth says:
EO: All I know is that the quantum singularity in the core can not be overwhelmed... anything we can do to keep the burden off it is good.

CO_Storal says:
CNS: Ryushi??? Where's my ship?!

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::hears "Amolana":: Pah'Wraith: I'm here, I will help you.

CSO_Marsland says:
*ALL*: All Medical staff, please prepare anti-radiation treatments.  All hands, we are irradiating the ship with small amounts of tetryon particles. You may experience the effects of radiation poisoning. In that case, please see a Medical Officer. Thank you.

SO_York says:
CSO: Then move the crew to engineering, best shielding on the ship?

ACTION: The tetryon pulses begin to overload the ship's power systems... and the SO's console fries...

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I don't know I don't know! Please don't yell...

CEO_Derryth says:
CTO: Seal off the areas surrounding that thing, let no one in there.

SO_York says:
::stands up and runs to the OPS equivalent::

SO_York says:
Self: Great, just great.

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Long story short, Admiral Woo ordered me to get captured so that I would be taken to Romulus and then there was supposed to be an object transferred. I thought I was working for SFI but now I think Woo is up to something.

CSO_Marsland says:
CTO: Report, Ensign... any luck locking it down?

ACTION: As the XO moves down to the Pah'Wraith's location, she can see a bright red spirit of some sort... but, somehow, having adopted a humanoid silhouette of some sort...

CIV_Davis says:
Self: What the...

CTO_Ramor says:
CEO: Aye, sir. On it. ::seals off the area around the Pah'Wraith:: CSO: Not really sir, Mister York's working on getting rid of it!

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::walks toward the Pah'Wraith:: Pah'Wraith: It's all right.  What do you need me to do?

CNS_Solaa says:
::listens to the announcement:: CMO/CO: Oh, goodie. We get to have radiation poisoning...

CMO_Powers says:
TL: Sickbay.

CSO_Marsland says:
CTO: The computer, Ensign.. the computer.

CEO_Derryth says:
CTO: There's no one in there right?

CO_Storal says:
::calms back down:: CNS: Sorry Ryn.  CMO: Woo is up to something. Thats why I decided to go after you.

Sec_Abbott says:
::powers up her phaser as she looks down at the spirit and watches the XO, ready to act should it do something::

CIV_Davis says:
ALL:  Can we transport people out of there site-to-site?

CEO_Derryth says:
CSO: Permission for site to site?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::makes a mental note of the Com about radiation poisoning::

SO_York says:
::bites his lower lip, thinking::

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Well whatever it is, I think elements of the Tal Shiar are involved and I think it's going to happen on Romulus... or near there.

CTO_Ramor says:
CSO: Oh. Sorry, sir, was more worried about the Pah'Wraith problem. I'm making slow but steady progress.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Pah'Wraith: My crew just wants to help you find freedom.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::looks around. Seeing no one at the helm, gingerly takes his seat there::

CTO_Ramor says:
CEO: Negative, sir. I've got another reading down there.

Pah’Wraith says:
::it slowly moves upwards... so that it is upright... and looks at the XO directly, face-to-face...:: XO: ... We require you to do nothing... you are revered... and we thank you for your service... if it kills me, so be it... but you will be spared... for now... as for your compatriots... they will be destroyed, one by one... and it all begins on what you call Romulus... come, Amolana... ::it holds out what appears to be a hand

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Oh, good. I'm glad that I wasn't the deciding factor in going after John... ::is relieved::

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: To where, Ensign?

CMO_Powers says:
::helps the CO out of the turbolift and into the sickbay::

CSO_Marsland says:
CTO: Very well, keep at it.

CTO_Ramor says:
CSO: Aye, sir.

SO_York says:
CEO: Sir! The wraith is stationary, a few feet from the XO.

CEO_Derryth says:
CSO: Out of the confinement area sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: Get them out if you can, yes.

CIV_Davis says:
CSO, CEO:  Out of the area where the Pah'Wraith is...who cares where?

CSO_Marsland says:
CEO: Preferably get them up here.

CO_Storal says:
CMO: Romulus? Are you sure?

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::notices that the nacelles are free of the disruptions they had on early.

CEO_Derryth says:
CIV: Can you transport them?

FCO_K`Tacht says:
All : Ok. Who's in charge?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::takes a step back:: Pah'Wraith: Why do you want to destroy my compatriots, my friends?  We can all help you.

CMO_Powers says:
CO: That's where I was supposed to go. Jump up onto one of these beds an I'll have a look to see what's wrong with you.

CEO_Derryth says:
::Keeping an eye on the power levels::

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: I am.

CIV_Davis says:
::tries to reroute through the power overflow that just occurred and access site to site transporters::

EO_Daniels says:
::Keeps an eye on her console making minor adjustments to the matter/antimatter streams in the core.::

CO_Storal says:
CMO:I look forward in hearing your report. You are the missing piece in this puzzle.

SO_York says:
::buries his face in his hands::

CIV_Davis says:
CEO:  Trying to..

CO_Storal says:
::hops onto the biobed::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::nods:: CSO : Sir... Looks like we have cleared our nacelles.. Cloak is effective once again. Any orders?

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Pah'Wraith: Do you have a name?

Pah’Wraith says:
XO: Because it is our time... your galaxy and your existence will be purged... and a Rebirth will occur... ::it looks to the side, and sees D'Layna, her phaser in her hand... it reaches out, and pushes D'Layna back... but obviously causing it pain...:: XO: ... But you, you will be spared...

CEO_Derryth says:
::Tries to give ample transporter power to the CIV::

CO_Storal says:
CNS:I would never go after a member of my crew on a whim. I did so because the whole situation didn’t feel right.

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: Not yet, except to keep doing what we are doing, and trying to get rid of that Pah'Wraith.

SO_York says:
::looks up again:: CEO: You rigged the forcefields right???

CEO_Derryth says:
EO: That excess power... route it to deflector and shields.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Pah'Wraith: I'm sorry, but I cannot let you destroy my friends and other sentient beings.

CIV_Davis says:
::locks on to those in the confinement area and attempts to beam them to the Bridge with everyone else::

CMO_Powers says:
::Has a look through the Romulan equipment and finds a tricorder equivalent. Scans the CO to see the extent of his injuries::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::nods:: CSO : Aye sir..

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: I sure did.

ACTION: The Pah'Wraith moves forward, and engulfs the XO... "... You have no choice in the matter..." 

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Oh, well okay. I mean, I'm so glad we did... ::smiles at John as he turns his back::

SO_York says:
CEO: Then secure the wraith in a field and flood it with radiation !

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks at the sensors:: CEO: Beam them out of there!

CTO_Ramor says:
Self: Uh-oh.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::feels being engulfed by the Pah'Wraith::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: No, really, sir. I'm indebted to you.

ACTION: In a flash of light, before the SEC, the XO and the Pah'Wraith become one... and with all its might, the Pah'Wraith pushes off... and exits the war bird, its cargo securely in hand... the XO is gone.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Lie down, please.

MO_Turok says:
Sec: Oh, that doesn't look good at all!

CIV_Davis says:
ALL: Wait!  One of the bio-signs is merging with the Pah’Wraith....or something.  It's hard to make out from here..

CTO_Ramor says:
All: Uhh, uh oh.

CO_Storal says:
CMO: I know what you mean Lieutenant. ::grins:: Where's Janet? I need to get back to work.

Sec_Abbott says:
XO: No! ::fires her phaser on the Pah’Wraith but it ends up hitting the wall as they both disappear::

EO_Daniels says:
CEO:  I am on it, Sir.  ::Reroutes the extra power to the deflector and shields.::

CSO_Marsland says:
::whirls around:: CIV: Report!

ACTION: All power fluctuations disappear from the war bird sensors... all systems back to normal...

ACTION: Well, except for the SO's console.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: They were in the shuttlebay, but now I don't know.

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Not so fast, you've been shot. I'll patch you up and send you on your way fast enough. ::patches him up::

CIV_Davis says:
::looks at Marsland with an emotionless face::  CSO: The XO is no longer onboard..

CO_Storal says:
::tries to resist and get on his feet, but his head goes weak and he lies down::

SO_York says:
::his face turns pale::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: You lost a lot of blood.

Sec_Abbott says:
::runs forward to the spot where the XO and the Pah’Wraith were looking around futilely::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::rolls eyes:: Self : And we just got the CMO back.. Now we loose another one?

CSO_Marsland says:
::blinks, and slams his hand on the console:: ALL: No! .... ::looks at the CIV:: CIV: And the XO?

CEO_Derryth says:
SO: Deactivate tetryon emitters. ::Does the same for the force field, leaving the sub-routine in tact, just in case::

ACTION: On the sensors, the war bird can detect an energy signature flying away rapidly...

CTO_Ramor says:
CSO: Sir, we're deep in Romulan space. We can either engage them, try to get them back, or let them go and get ourselves out of here.

CIV_Davis says:
::looks at console again::  CSO:  The fluctuations have ceased...it looks like the Pah'Wraith and the XO left at the same time.  I'm not even reading her comm badge anywhere.

SO_York says:
CEO: Already on it.

CTO_Ramor says:
CSO: I recommend re-initializing systems and getting this bird back online.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CSO : Lt... I'm picking up an energy signature moving away from us.. ::starts moving his hands through the console::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Where's Turok? He can tell you all about it.

CSO_Marsland says:
::sighs:: CTO: Damage report, what do we have, and what don't we have, right now?

CEO_Derryth says:
::Slump down in his seat::

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: Direction and speed?

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::plots a course to follow it::

CMO_Powers says:
::gives the CO a 'hypo' to numb the pain.:: CO: You'll feel weak and a bit sore for a while but you'll live.

SO_York says:
Self: I was too slow...securing it in a forcefield and flooding it directly....so obvious!!!

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CSO : It's currently heading towards Cardassia...

EO_Daniels says:
CEO:  You okay?  Is there something else you want me to do?

CSO_Marsland says:
*CMO*: Status of the Captain?

SO_York says:
::walks to the broken panel and kicks it::

CO_Storal says:
CMO: Thanks Doctor. Am I cleared for duty?

CIV_Davis says:
::wants to give up now, but knows they can't stop if they want to retrieve the XO and return home::

Sec_Abbott says:
::stands in the empty spot, her teeth clenching in her jaw as a feeling of failure overcomes her:: *CO*: Sir, this is Security Chief Abbott.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CSO : Warp 1 and accelerating.

CTO_Ramor says:
CSO: Sir, with that Pah’Wraith gone, we can have everything in short order. ::glances at the SO's console:: CSO: Uhh... few exceptions.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: How are you holding up? And where did you get that dress... if that's what you'd call it?

MO_Turok says:
Sec: Perhaps we should report this to.... whoever is in charge now.

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: Cloak the ship.  FCO: Lay in an intercept course, maximum warp. Engage.

SO_York says:
::sits down next to Sol::

CMO_Powers says:
*CSO*: He's alive. I'm restricting him to light duty though... so you'd better not have any bad news for him.

CO_Storal says:
::hears the com and gingerly taps his combadge:: SEC: Storal here. Go ahead.

CTO_Ramor says:
CSO: Aye, sir. Re-initializing cloaking device.

CNS_Solaa says:
::takes a deep breath:: CMO: How am I  "holding up?" You don't even know the HALF of it!

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CSO : Aye sir ::clicks the one button remaining to engage the new course and speed:: Done

CTO_Ramor says:
::does as she says::

CEO_Derryth says:
EO: Stand down, try to go about regular duties... well as close to normal as possible here.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: That's why I'm asking, love.

Sec_Abbott says:
::nods at the MO:: MO: Perhaps you should see to that. I will still inform the Captain. *CO*: The Pah’Wraith... it has taken Commander Naegle....

CSO_Marsland says:
*CMO*: Inform him the XO has been taken by the Wraith, headed towards Cardassian space.  I have assumed command up here, we are in pursuit course.

CSO_Marsland says:
SO: When we get in range, beam the XO out.... if you can.

CMO_Powers says:
CO: Did you hear that?

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: You know I went through hell to get you back?! Hm?!

CNS_Solaa says:
::hears the comm:: ALL: OH NO!

SO_York says:
CSO: Aye sir! ::stands up and blood returns to his face::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Captain, I think it's that wraith again! The one we fought!

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::glances at his console:: CSO : Closing distance to signature..

ACTION: The war bird is on hot pursuit, but the energy signature simply continues to speed up... warp 2... warp 3... matching and surpassing the war bird’s increases...

SO_York says:
::tries to get a lock::

CIV_Davis says:
CSO: The power overload doesn't seem to have damaged any systems.  I've rerouted all affected systems.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::thinking that the Pah'Wraith needs to stop, if it truly reveres Amolana it will obey::

EO_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CEO.  Begins to initiate warp core alignment check.::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::frowns:: CSO : Lt.. We're... Falling behind.

CO_Storal says:
::his eyes flare in anger:: *All*:Why don’t they just go back to where they come from!

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CIV::

CTO_Ramor says:
::checks the important things. Weapons systems, shield systems, and sees if the war bird’s expected to 'check in' regularly for access code transmissions or updates::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CSO : That thing is accelerating much faster than us.

CSO_Marsland says:
FCO: All stop.

CSO_Marsland says:
SO: Full sensor sweep of the area... anything out there?

SO_York says:
CSO: Scanning sir.

ACTION: The energy signature speeds up... warp 8... warp 9... and it simply disappears...

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CSO : Aye sir.. All stop.. ::drops the ship out of warp::

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: Do some Bajoran ritual and maybe they'll go away!

CO_Storal says:
::hops on his feet::*SEC*:Acknowledged. *CSO*:Tom im on my way.

CSO_Marsland says:
CTO/CEO: Maintain red alert.... whatever the Romulans have here.  Work on locking out the command codes of this thing, changing them if possible.

Sec_Abbott says:
*CO*: It said something about destroying the universe ... creating a rebirth... yet they were going to spare Commander Naegle

CSO_Marsland says:
*CO*: Aye, Captain.

CNS_Solaa says:
CO: I don't know anything about your gods.... Give her a sacrifice or something...

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Pah'Wraith: ~~~Stop!  If you truly revere me, you must obey!~~~

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::eyes the screen:: Self : You will pay for this... Creature.

Pah’Wraith says:
~~~XO: ... You performed a Service for us, why would we stop?~~~

CIV_Davis says:
::stares at Marsland, not sure of where he's going with this::

CO_Storal says:
::turns quickly to the CNS:: CNS. They are NOT my gods. ::storms out of sickbay::

CEO_Derryth says:
CSO: Aye, aye.

CSO_Marsland says:
CIV/EO: While the CEO works on the command codes, you two work in Engineering. Get this thing as normal as you can.

CMO_Powers says:
Self: There's no denying the XO is cute but, it's a long way to come even if it's to kidnap her.

CNS_Solaa says:
::is sort of dumbfounded:: CMO: I thought he was Bajoran...?

SO_York says:
CSO: No sir, we've completely lost them. Nothing to report for now. I'll continue looking.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Pah'Wraith: ~~~Because you love me?  You want to please me?  I have a child I need to take care of.~~~

CSO_Marsland says:
SO: Very well, Ensign. Let me know if you find... anything.

CIV_Davis says:
::approaches Marsland and speaks quietly so other officers can't hear him::  CSO:  It's normal enough to head in the right direction, sir.  I'm not sure why we're stopping..

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I don't understand their religion. Too complicated.

CO_Storal says:
*SEC*:Do you know where it is?

CTO_Ramor says:
CEO: Sir, here's the progress I made of the command codes. CSO: Aye sir.

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks up at the CIV, and whispers as a tear falls from his face:: CIV: But... what is the right direction?

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Tell me about it...

Sec_Abbott says:
*CO*: I do not, Sir.

CO_Storal says:
::enters the turbo lift:: Computer: Bridge...

CNS_Solaa says:
::plops down on a biobed::

CIV_Davis says:
CSO:  Weren't we even able to tell what direction the thing was going at least, even if we couldn't follow it?

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::turns his chair to face the rest of the crew:: All : This thing.. Is starting to get on my nerves..

CEO_Derryth says:
::Punches up the computer security encryption codes and tries to see what he can do with them::

SO_York says:
::wipes the sweat from his brow::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CIV : Cardassia.

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CIV::

ACTION: With the CTO's work, the CEO in no time at all manages to access the ship's command codes for his own purposes...

CEO_Derryth says:
CTO: Thank you.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CIV : That is, if it doesn't change course in the meantime.

CO_Storal says:
*SEC*:Acknowledged.

SO_York says:
CTO: I could have stopped it, Sol.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: What's your first impression of our new Klingon friend?

CSO_Marsland says:
CIV: We have one of three choices.. head home, head after the Apache, or head after that... thing.. that has my wife.

EO_Daniels says:
::Nods to the CSO.::  CIV:  Are you ready, Sir?

CO_Storal says:
::exits the turbo lift and enters the bridge:: CSO: Report..!

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks down at her hands in her lap and then up at him:: CMO: I don't know anything about him and I don't want to talk about anything but you :: takes a deep breath

CTO_Ramor says:
SO: Your console went up at a bad moment. There's nothing you could've done better.

MO_Turok says:
::Decides to head to sickbay::

CIV_Davis says:
::nods, much more frustrated with the situation than Marsland's response::

CIV_Davis says:
CSO:  I'll be in Engineering sir.

EO_Daniels says:
::Heads over to a TL, holding the door open for Lt. Davis.::

Pah’Wraith says:
~~~XO: Your child is of no consequence. It is your soul you should be concerned with, is what we are concerned with...~~~

CIV_Davis says:
::turns and heads for the lift behind Daniels::

CEO_Derryth says:
:: Re-codes the security protocols for the computers, being careful not to use standard Starfleet protocol::

SO_York says:
CTO: Yes there was...I was 10 seconds too slow before it got her Sol!

CSO_Marsland says:
::stands:: ALL: Captain on deck! ::turns to the CO:: CO: Sir, systems are as normal as can be, we're at all stop. A SF signature is headed towards Belak, The XO and the Wraith are headed towards Cardassia IV.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Right... so what would you like to know?

EO_Daniels says:
::Orders the TL to engineering.::  CIV:  Nice to meet you.  I'm Cadet Daniels.

CEO_Derryth says:
::Stands at attention::

CTO_Ramor says:
::snaps up to attention::

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Why you left. And if you're real.

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
Pah'Wraith: ~~~ I am concerned with my soul.  I am also concerned with my child.  At least go get my child and take him with us.~~~

SO_York says:
::notices the Captain and stands at attention::

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: We are also currently cloaked, at maximum alert. The EO and CIV are working on ship's systems, the SO is scanning, and the CTO and CEO are working on changing this bird's command codes.

Sec_Abbott says:
::heads down the hall and enters the nearest turbolift:: TL: Bridge.

CIV_Davis says:
::finally looks at Daniels and realizes she's really not familiar at all::  

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I left because I was ordered to. I think I'm real... do you think I'm real?

Pah’Wraith says:
~~~XO: ... No... We cannot. We will not survive so long a trip... already I weaken...~~~

CO_Storal says:
::motions for everyone to return to their duties:: CSO: Can we intercept the Pah’Wraith?

CIV_Davis says:
::extends hand and smiles just a little::   EO:   The pleasure's mine....I'm Bill Davis.

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CIV:: CO: Not at this time, Sir, it's going much much faster than we possibly can.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: I don't know anymore.

CEO_Derryth says:
::Continues re-coding the command codes.::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::turns back to the console, and hovers his finger on the re-engage button::

CTO_Ramor says:
::sits back down, and continues her work:: SO: Ten seconds. It took at least that long to switch consoles... don't beat yourself up over it. That Pah'Wraith's been one step ahead since the moment I stepped onboard. I wouldn't be surprised if it was trying to beat us to that punch, too.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: There is a man sitting right over there that is you who I thought was you but was only let down because it wasn't.

EO_Daniels says:
::Smiles warmly at him and extends her hand to him.::  CIV:  It is good to know you, Sir.  ::Waits for the computer to stop, and then heads down the corridor to engineering with the CIV.::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::gently:: Pah'Wraith: ~~~So let me go to another starbase. I can send for him there.  Then you can gather your strength.~~~

CO_Storal says:
::puts a hand on the CSO's shoulder:: CSO: I'm sorry Tom. Can we catch that Federation signature?

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Oh, it's going to be one of those conversations... I wonder if the Romulan doctor keeps any ale round here.

SO_York says:
::nods at Sol:: CTO: Maybe.

CSO_Marsland says:
SO: Distance and speed of the Starfleet signature?

CIV_Davis says:
::follows the Cadet, noticeably fatigued from the last few days and weeks::

Sec_Abbott says:
::feels the lift slow and exits the TL onto the bridge::

CSO_Marsland says:
::while the SO checks:: CO: I believe so, sir.

SO_York says:
::presses a few buttons::

CNS_Solaa says:
::wants to throw a hypospray at him and gives him a dark look::

CEO_Derryth says:
CO: Sir, command codes reconfigured.

SO_York says:
CSO: Warp 6 sir...calculating the distance.

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::inputs the new heading and direction, and sets speed.::

CO_Storal says:
FCO: Set course and engage...

EO_Daniels says:
::Enters engineering and heads right to a console to check the power generation systems.::

CIV_Davis says:
::sees a little irony in a civilian and a cadet running Engineering::

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: If that's not proof I'm me I don't know what is.

CTO_Ramor says:
::stops her work for a moment, sighs, and turns to the SO and rubs his shoulder gently:: SO: You did the best you knew how. That's what matters, right? And... well, right now, we're working on getting ourselves out of this mess.

CO_Storal says:
CEO: Is the cloak fully functional?

ACTION: The XO can feel the Pah'Wraith weakening... no longer speaking, thinking... but can feel that it is in agreement...

CEO_Derryth says:
CO: Checking...

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CO : Aye sir.. ::inputs a barrel roll on the ship just before they enter warp:: This baby flies very well...

CEO_Derryth says:
::checks cloak status::

CSO_Marsland says:
::slumps into a chair next to the command chair, and sighs::

CIV_Davis says:
::wanders around, looking for a schematic of the ship's data network and energy distribution systems::

CNS_Solaa says:
::looks down at her hands again::

MO_Turok says:
::Enters sickbay::

SO_York says:
CSO: Distance, 15 light years from Romulus, 25 from our present location

CSO_Marsland says:
SO: Very well.

EO_Daniels says:
Yells out to the CIV:  They don't teach you much about .. war birds at the academy.  Just a general background.  So what is it you do around here?

CNS_Solaa says:
::snaps it up:: CMO: What's my favorite color?

CO_Storal says:
::does a double take at the FCO::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::gently:: Pah'Wraith: ~~~That's it. Now, please, just put me on a starbase, any starbase.~~~

CSO_Marsland says:
*ALL*: All hands, this is the CSO. The XO has been taken by the... Pah’Wraith... we are enroute to recover the Starfleet signature heading towards the Belak system... carry.. on.

SO_York says:
::relaxes a bit as Sol squeezes his shoulder, then smiles at her:: CTO: Alright, you win.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I know this one... umm...

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::since he's facing the screen, doesn't see the CO::

CEO_Derryth says:
CO: Cloak is fully operational.

CIV_Davis says:
::keeps peeking at displays until he finds a rather large schematic, even larger than the master wall display in many Starships::

CO_Storal says:
CSO: Tom if you want to be alone.. I understand. I can handle it here...

CIV_Davis says:
EO:  Well....I was actually just a civilian passenger on the Apache a few weeks ago before all this happened.  I left Starfleet several months ago.

CTO_Ramor says:
::smiles at the SO, and keeps working:: SO: I always win. Good to learn that early.

CNS_Solaa says:
::sighs and lays down on the biobed with a flop::

ACTION: With a great force, everything around the XO turns to white... and suddenly, cataclysm... everything goes dark...

CSO_Marsland says:
::steels himself, and eyes the CO:: CO: No, Sir!  I wish to do my duty.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Is it red? ::hopes he's right.... ::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::feels everything going white then dark::

CIV_Davis says:
::examines the console, making sure that what power is generated is getting to all systems in the ship, then checking to see that data is doing the same::

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: I dunno... is it red?

EO_Daniels says:
CIV:  What was your specialty.  ::Looks around the room to where he is standing.::  Engineering .. I hope?

ACTION: On the EO's console, she can see a blinking light, an active file...

CIV_Davis says:
::observes that many of the power distribution channels and data nodes are placed alongside one another throughout the ship::

CO_Storal says:
CSO: Very well. I understand that too. CSO: See if you can identify that signature.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: Umm... yes.

CSO_Marsland says:
::nods to the CO, and finds an empty console::

SO_York says:
::goes looking through his console, see what he can find and gains access to the Main Database::

XO_Naegle-Marsland says:
::looks around:: Self: Well, at least it let me go

CIV_Davis says:
::smiles::  EO:  It was.  I served as Chief Engineer on the Seleya and Vesuvius a long time ago.

CMO_Powers says:
::gets ready for the impact::

CO_Storal says:
FCO: How long until we intercept that vessel?

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: Are you sure?

CSO_Marsland says:
::looks up at the CO after the scans complete:: CO: Sir... it's... the Apache.

ACTION: The XO rematerializes... though she does not know it, on Starbase 10... near Devron... back in the Federation...

FCO_K`Tacht says:
CO : At current speed.. 15 hours sir.. We will need to slow down in a couple of hours to a slower speed... She won't be able to hold maximum warp more than one hour at a time.. Sir.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: I think so... am I?

SO_York says:
::starts browsing through the Database:: Self: SFI would love a copy of this.

CNS_Solaa says:
CMO: If you are, then get over here and tell me that my favorite color is red.

CIV_Davis says:
::he kind of regards this design as unintelligent, as an overload in one system in a particular area could lead to the destruction of both; nevertheless, he realizes now isn't the time to critique Romulan technology::

CO_Storal says:
FCO: Acknowledged... hold it as long as you can then set to a more appropriate speed.

CMO_Powers says:
::Thinks a bit more::

FCO_K`Tacht says:
::nods:: Aye sir

CNS_Solaa says:
::sighs and rolls over::

CO_Storal says:
CSO: The Apache??? How did my ship get out here?!

EO_Daniels says:
CIV:  Um, Sir?  There's a light blinking on this console .. an active file?

CTO_Ramor says:
SO: So make a copy. ::Shrugs:: SO: I still plan on getting myself a uniform with trimmings. I'll be the only Romulan Subcommander in Starfleet.

CSO_Marsland says:
CO: Ask Mister Ryushi, sir... I know I plan on it.

CO_Storal says:
CSO: Agreed...

SO_York says:
CTO: Oh Sol, I intend to.

CMO_Powers says:
CNS: It is, I'm sure of it.

ACTION: On the display next to the console, though the EO hasn't rested her eyes on it yet, is a communications file... sent to Korata, Tal'Shiar operative... signed Adm. Eric Woo, United Federation of Planets...
