XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: strides into ME and looks around::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: running checks of the tactical systems::

CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: in his ready room going over reports on ship status ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@:: Steps into the Station Sickbay and calls for the nearest medic:: Medic: May I look at your supplies? I'm the doctor on board the Apache and wanted to know if you all had the proper equipment.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sits on the edge of her desk beside the flight deck checking over the latest report on the shuttles ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: walks to the CEO’s office and picks up the latest status report PADD’s and begin reading them::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: looks up and sighs as he place a PADD down:: *CO*: Skipper most major hull repairs effected and she’s flyable. We still need a few spares to go to 100%

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sends a copy of the report to the executive officer and then heads into the shuttle bay ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@Medic Says CNS: Ahh yes, Doctor. Right over here. :: Leads her to a side room and gives her a PADD with supplies and request numbers:: CNS: That should do it, yes? Pardons...I must return to my work. :: Walks off::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@:: Rolls her eyes:: Self: Ugh...I really hate being called "Doctor"...it just doesn't work with me very well. :: Starts reading over the PADD::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::getting the readouts::  *XO*: We have 85% weapons operational, and shield power holding at 60%.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*XO*: Excellent Wolf.  Any areas that the spanner-heads think aren’t 100% keep personnel to a minimum in.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: spots crewman Chirp and calls him over :: Chirp: I see that repairs to the bay are nearly complete.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*CTO*: Thankyou Salor. Keep up the good work

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*XO* LRS are none operational, and SRS are 90% effective.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
Chirp Says FCO: Yes Commander. We've completed everything except for a little paint and polishing. :: smiles and hands her his report ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*CTO*: Understood I’ll get the engineers onto them ASAP

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: exits ready room onto the bridge ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*CO*: Skipper LRS are down, were missing critical spares

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: looks up at the captain::  CO: Sir, we are space worthy but at a minimal.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: exits the office::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
Self: what I’d give for a half decent CEO

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: grins :: Chirp: Well done crewman, I suppose paint is in short supply too?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*XO*: Find someone down there that has done garrison duty...they will be used to making do with nothing.  See what they can come up with for LRS repairs

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
Chirp says FCO: Afraid so ma'am. Dang supply SNAFU again.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
Erickson says  ::standing guard at the airlock with another crewman::  Michael’s: remember no one gets in.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@::Notices that the numbers don't quite match up:: *CO*: Sir, I did a check on Medical supplies on the station as requested and it appears that they are getting supplies, but not in the requested amounts. There are some pretty critical solutions and medications that any sickbay should have an abundance of which they are scarce.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Are we defensible?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::watches as an engineer hands him a PADD. Takes the PADD and looks at it::
::looks at the EO:: EO: this the best we can do?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*CNS*: Does it look like someone is running a black-market with the medical supplies or are they just not getting replacement supplies

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: We have 85% of our weapons and shields are at 60%. And with LRS down, I will not be able to see what’s coming until it's within range of the SRS.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
EO Balfour says XO: Aye sir under current circumstances

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: swears::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
::smiles at Chirp and returns to her office to catch up on the progress of the engines ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: If it gets that close, I think the station might let us know.  Even if they have a security leak, the non-leaks don’t want to die

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
EO Balfour says XO: We need parts that just aren’t available here.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
*CO*: No black-market, sir. Just not getting them. Perhaps a result of the pirate attacks? Either that or lack the of Federation assistance. Either way, they just aren't getting them here.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*XO*:  Commander, Lane here, do you have a moment?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Agreed.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::sighs and holds the PADD listing the critical spares:: *FCO*: I do,

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*XO*: It seems that we're not going to be able to do better than warp 6 for now.  Any chance engineering can raise those odds in the immediate future?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
*CNS*: Understood.  Time for you to be a people person ensign.  Go have some lunch at the station mess, see if they are having shortages.  And keep your ear out, people tend to talk when they take meal time, see if you can catch any scuttlebutt on the pirate attacks

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: I have them working on it. LRS are down as well so the slower speed maybe advantageous
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*XO*: Is this another problem with supplies again Commander?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: There is. The critical parts we need are just no available. I was about to head up and discuss it with the skipper

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@::Smiles to herself:: *CO*: Yes, sir. I'll get those scuttlebutts. :: Walks out of Station Sickbay and towards the Mess::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: You heard the lady, the there is a serious shortage around these parts.  Nobody on the ship without clearance from the XO or myself.  Nobody off without command level permission.  Latinum makes strange things happen in these situations

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sits there getting rather frustrated :: *XO*: Can't we just send a new request direct to Starfleet?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: It would be pointless they have stopped resupply drops since the attacks

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sighs :: *XO*: Then how do you suggest we fix the problem Wolf?

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Guards are posted at the airlock as we speak. and any transport on or off the ship will be detected at once.

Action: The Apache receives a distress call.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::the console beeps::  CO: we are receiving a distress call.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Unauthorized transports are to be rerouted to the brig.  If its someone important I would rather apologize then have our stores raided
   CTO: On screen

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: I’m working on it

Action: An Andorian come on the screen which is fuzzy and staticy.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@::Enters the Station Mess and sits down at a table with a bunch of men who are chatting away::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*XO*: Work faster Commander please? Anyway, I'm heading up to the bridge since I'm not doing any good down here. Lane out. 

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
*FCO*: Understood, I’ll join you

 Rich says:
Drome says COM: Apache: This is the freighter Demonica. We are being attacked please help.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: walking through the station corridors thinking about what she has learned::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: It is coming from a freighter, 3 light years out.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: nods the EO to continue his work and makes his way towards the bridge::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: thinks to herself that seeing Wolf just now might be a nice diversion if it weren't for all the problems ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Demonica : This is the USS Apache, how many enemy contacts?  What is your ship status currently

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: steps into the first available lift and calls for the bridge ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: steps into the TL:: TL: bridge

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Inform Commander Mrlr that we will be leaving the station see if she wants to remain and continue gather information

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: And what about Ms. Wharton.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@:: Hears generic talk about pirate attacks, but nothing critical. Gets up and moves across the room where others are and sits down, joining in the conversation::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: walks onto the bridge and looks around before heading to the helm ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Recall the ensign

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*CIV* We have received a distress call and will be preparing to depart. The captain wishes to know if you will remain or are reporting back to the ship.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*CNS*  report back to the ship we are preparing to leave.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Wolf we have received a distress call from an Andorian freighter.  We are recalling all personnel, have engineering prepare for warp speed

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: frustrated with what little she was able to learn:: *CTO*: I'll return, transport me directly to the bridge please.  I'm on the opposite side of the station.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
@:: Stands up and starts walking back towards the ship:: *CTO*: Can you beam me to the bridge? It'll be much faster.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::runs a scan of the area the freighter is in, to ascertain it’s condition and what is attacking it::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: takes her seat and turns to the CO :: CO: Shall I begin undocking procedures sir?
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*CIV/CNS*  Standby.   :: activates the transporters once he gets a lock on both comm badges and activates the transport::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Put us on internal power, as soon as the CNS and CIV are aboard undock us

Action: The CIV sees some one lurking about where she is at right after she finishes her call.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods and turns around :: CO: Aye sir, switching to internal power systems.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*All Security*  we are undocking resume normal security checks.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::notices someone and hits her comm badge:: *CTO*: Belay that...I need to check something out.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: begins the pre-flight checks ::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Materializes on the bridge:: CTO: Thanks...

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::steps out onto the bridge::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Inform the station that we are answering the distress call, they would have heard it.  But give them no information as to our approach or ship status

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks up for a moment and sees Salor talking to his people ::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Yes sir, and SRS are showing 5 more ships other than the freighter but can not identify as of yet.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: And Mrlr, reports she is staying she has to check something out.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
:: sends a message to the station informing them of the situation.::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::nods to the CNS::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: Tell her to be careful we will return as soon as possible

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: diverts her eyes to Wolf for a moment before continuing her checks ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: walks to his seat PADD in hand::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Wolf lets talk strategy

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: catches Hopes eye and winks::
CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
*CIV*  The captain has orders to be careful, we will report back as soon as we can.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: heads over in the direction of where she saw someone, answers a bit distracted:: *CTO*: Understood, happy hunting.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Hope cut the ropes and take us out

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: contacts station operations for clearance and is granted permission to leave :: CO: Captain, we have station clearance. Taking us out.

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
CO: Orders, Captain?

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
:: hands the CO the supply PADD:: CO: This is the list of the critical supplies
     ::sits down:: CO: Hit and run sounds good given our limited capabilities
 
Action: As the CIV moves towards the person they take off turning a corner just a short distance down.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: taps her console gently moving to thruster power as the Apache eases from the docking bay ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CNS: We have a ship full that is well patched at best, I think sickbay is going to need every hand they can get

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:: follows the person quietly but quickly.  Gets to the corner and stops and listens carefully for any sound before looking around it discreetly::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Nods:: CO: I'm on it. :: Rushes to the TL and makes her way to sickbay as fast as possible::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: looks at the list of supplies and just shakes his head :: XO: Agreed.  Keep us to their sterns if possible.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: eases past the docking arms moving safely away from all mechanical devices ::

Action: As the CIV listens she can hear the distant sound of a transport beam.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: hit em from the rear and hit them hard and break off before they can react

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: How do the engines look?  How hard can I push them

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO/XO: In our condition, we will not be able to take many hits.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Warp 6 is about, that about right Hope?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::hears the transport beam, curses under her breath in kitty language and goes around the corner staying as much in the shadows as she can::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I bet that Andorian captain is thinking that very thing at this moment

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Understood captain, was only stating the facts.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO: Warp six is all we have sir, unless engineering comes up with a miracle.

Action: As the CIV rounds the corner she can see the person being transported away.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: This lack of supplies is killing us. Dammn convenient for the bad guys

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Give us what you can.  As morbid as it sounds, it we are too late to save them the debris, weapons, and transporter signatures will be very useful

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::runs as fast as she can towards the transporter beam, trying to get a good look at them::

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
:: Walks into sickbay and starts asking for updates:: Medic: Alright, start getting sickbay ready. We might have company. Snap to it! :: Watches the medics rush around::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, we have cleared the docking port, preparing to go to impulse to outer markers.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Very good Hope.  Watch out that nothing flies off when you go to warp

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns slightly and smiles :: CO: I'll try sir.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
ALL: Departure stations

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Everything is working for the bad guys.  But we can’t just let this Andorian die for our lack of action.  As they say there would be no 'honour' in that

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: there’s no honour in any of this. It smacks of Ferengi

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: watches her screen as they approach the markers ::

Action: The person disappears just as the CIV gets to there.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: brings the warp systems to full :: CO: Captain, ready for warp.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::skids to a halt and swears again in kitty language, heads over to the nearest station console and calls for the station ops:: COM: Station OPS: Can you identify who or what was transported in.. ::looks up to see where she was::...corridor A-16, Level 5?

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Give it all we got :: holds onto the back of his chair ::

 Rich says:
@Station OPS says *CIV*: We show no signs of a transport in that area.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: pushes her finger down on the warp controls :: All: Warp one engaged.....two......three..

 Action: The Apache shudders a little but goes to warp 1 with no problem.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::holds on::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@ COM; Station OPS: I just watched someone transport off in this spot...not more then a couple of minutes ago.  Check you sensor logs again.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
::mumbles :: Out loud : That was better than I expected

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
All: Four......five......warp six and holding.

 Rich says:
@Station OPS says *CIV* : Roger checking now.

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::watching the scans::  CO: We have not lost any part of the ship.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: hears Salor and smiles ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Well the ole girl held up well

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: I am very glad you didn’t end that sentence with yet

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Indeed.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: And this was the easy part

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
Medic says CNS: Sickbay is set to go, ma'am.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: keeps looking down at her screen and makes adjustments ::

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CTO: Salor lets get the pre-battle checks done

CNS_Ens_Wharton says:
::Nods to him:: *CO*: Sickbay is set for any issues that might come up. Set for incoming.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Feel naked without LRS

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CNS: Well done ensign

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
XO/CO: Sirs, the ship is experiencing a small drifting problem, but I can compensate for it at this point.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Feel naked with half my torp launcher down
 FCO: Do your best Hope.

 Rich says:
@<Station OPS> *CIV*: Cmdr you are right we have picked up a transporter signature and it appears to be Romulan however we can't seem to be able to track where it went.

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: Nothing liked going into battle with an arm tied behind your back. But at least we can still give them hell

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@COM: Station OPS: Are there any Romulan ships in orbit or the area?

 Rich says:
@Station OPS says COM: CIV: None that can be detected

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: At least we know they are there, not an ambush like last time

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
CO: that’s to our advantage. this time we’ll take them

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@:;swears again and enters in the code to call the Apache via the station communications:: COM: Apache: This is Commander Mrlr calling the USS Apache.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: does her best to control the drift problem knowing full well that this could be the beginning of more trouble ::

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
XO: Do our best trying.  Have non-essential personnel ready to move the evac areas

XO_LtCmndr_Wolf says:
::nods and issues the order::

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
CO: Incoming transmission from Cmdr. Mrlr

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CTO: On screen

CTO_LtJg_Salor says:
::places it on screen::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
@::COM; CO: ::sees she was put through:: Good, Captain... be careful...it is most likely that there's a cloaked Romulan vessel out there.

 CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: CIV: I could have used some good news you know :: grins :: Take care my love.
