FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Continuing evasive manoeuvres.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Damage report

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Keep dancing, it’s keeping our hide in tact

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
CO: Minimal, Captain.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: nods :: CO: Doing my best Captain.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::at tactical::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: glances at Aeris and smiles ::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Smiles back at the FCO:: FCO: Are we having fun yet?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS: I think the fun is only starting.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: The real fun is yet to come lieutenant.  See you have a lot of small ships, a few mediums, and only a couple really big ones...you keep them close to home. We haven’t met the big ones yet

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Do you think this Louie has bigger ships?

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Smiles :: CO: I'm not a tactician, but I did figure that much out, sir. As for the fun, you people have a strange idea of fun.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Picking up 10 ships heading towards the asteroid. Sensors are sporadic so only picked them up briefly

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: I think Louie is a coward, and so his ship is the biggest we are going to see

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Heading from which direction

Action: The Asteroid can now be picked up at the edge of SRS.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, navigational sensors have the asteroid straight ahead just at the edge of sensors.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Picking up the asteroid at the edge of SRS

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: They aren't where the Starfleet ships would be coming from.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO/CIV: Good well at least we know where we are going  :: grins ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: remember...you promised.  I get Louie.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Contact the Klingons alert them we have 10 inbound, they may be cloaked

Action: Suddenly there is a bright flash from the asteroid and one of the Klingon ships just disappear.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: At least parts of him

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
CO: Captain...One of the Klingon ships just disappeared. Energy surge coming from the asteroid, 

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I get to slice off the parts. :: looks at the sensors:: One of the Klingon ships was destroyed near the asteroid

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: blinks at the flash ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: jaw drops and he cusses in Seminole :: FCO: Don't let those inbounds put us in the middle between them and the asteroid

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Sends the message to the remainder of the Klingon ships to beware of incoming::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Mrlr see if you can find what that was and where it came from

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Understand sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: redirects their course slightly ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: I'm picking up an energy build up from that area.  Still to far away to determine the exact cause.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Is it shielded

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks at Aeris :: OPS: Like this fun?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Seems to be, but can't be certain yet

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Smiles and just shakes her head, keeping up the power in essential areas.::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Let’s see if we can put something into Louie’s mouse hole.  When that build up reaches where is was when it discharged, lets see about a photon torpedo

Action: The energy has built to a massive amount and then there is anouther flash. However instead of hitting its intended target one of the pirate ship happens to cross it path and disappears.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Shakes her head from hearing way too many mouse jokes and puns this whole mission ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: chuckles:: CO: nothing like stirring the pot when it boils. :: targets the area and prepares to send a torpedo::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: We just missed the energy build up, but it seems that a pirate ship got in the way and was destroyed.  Somehow that doesn't sadden me. ::grins::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees the flash again :: CO: Gee sir, now they're hitting their own ships. Think their targeting is off a tad?

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Yeah and as you can tell I am all choked up about their loss :: mischievous grin::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Bet that pirate would have ask for more latnum had they told him this could happen

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Hmmm...Now this is interesting.  I can detect the shielding and it seems it comes down for about .2 seconds before the weapon is fired. I'll time the torpedo to hit it at that time.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
CO: One hit from that will destroy a ship though...I think it best not to get in the way of that flash of light there.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: sets the torpedo ready and watches the energy build-up::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Now that I would like to see

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: It seems to take about 2 minutes for the weapon to cycle.  At least if I miss we have some wiggle room to get out of the way.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: just grins at the OPS statement thinks to himself....ah youth....::

Action: The weapons energy has built to the same point as it was when it fired the last time.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: When the CIV prepares to fire put everything you can scrounge up into the forward shields

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
CO: Already been working on it, sir. :: sets everything up to boost forward shields.::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: fires the torpedo:: CO: Torpedo fired

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Boosts forward shields::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: watches as the torpedo launches ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: watches the torpedo travel towards its target ::

Action: The torpedo flies straight and hits the target just as the weapon fires causing a massive explosion taking out about 1/3 of the asteroid.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Good work Mrlr

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
All: We have an incoming shockwave!

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: I think that classifies as FUBAR

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: Brace for impact

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: chuckles:: CO: All in a days work.  :: looks worried:: I hope Louie survives long enough for us to get there.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: turns the Apache into the wave and hangs on ::

Action: All the ships rock violently as the shock wave hits them.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Checks systems. :: CO: Shields down to 60%, Captain.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Dispatch damage control teams, get those shields up ASAP

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: rocks in her chair but stays put ::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Does as ordered ::

Action: SRS pick up 20 incoming pirate ships.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: thinks if this keeps up he is going to break his chair off at the floor from hanging on ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: Here we go again.  Ladies you know the dance by now :: grins ::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Smiles and just shakes her head as she boosts the shields as much as possible::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: reconfigures her evasive manoeuvres ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sighs:: CO: Pirates are a rather unimaginative lot.  You'd think they learned by now that they aren't going to win.

Action: The Klingon ships start engaging the incoming ships.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Lets pull our weight, fire at target of your discretion

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: The Klingons are having some fun with the pirates

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Gladly. :: targets a ship and fires::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: brings the ship around to a better firing position ::

Action: The Apache hits the target doing little damage.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Rotate weapon and shield harmonics

Action: The ship the Apache fired on returns fire hitting one of the warp nacelles.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Damage report

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: We've been hit Captain, they got one of the nacelles. Damage is minor, but we've lost warp for the time being.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
::About to open her mouth to answer the CO when the FCO did it for her.:: CO: What she said, sir.

Action: The Klingons succeed in taking out a few of the ship loosing only one of theirs.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Never easy is it?  :: smirks ::

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: runs her fingers over the console trying to reroute the power :: CO: Was it supposed to be sir? :: smiles ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Keep firing Mrlr, we will make more ammo :: grins ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Just once you would think

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: As long as it doesn't come out of my pay check

Action: About 30 ships can now be picked up on SRS all having Starfleet transponder codes on them.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: looks like the cavalry is here.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO; 30 Starfleet ships are on the way

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: keeps firing at the pirate ships::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Oh now that the work is done they show up :: smiles ::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Looks down:: CO: Captain, we're being hailed from one of the incoming ships.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: On screen

Action: The Apache's shot hits a weak spot on the ship and it explodes.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Transmits the hail on screen :: CO: On screen, sir.

Host Dremmon says:
@COM: Apache: Sorry to be late but run into a shock wave on the way here. You’re responsible for that?

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Dremmon: Well we just wanted to know which way to head :: grins :: . Actually that asteroid has some sort of canon in it, made debris out of one of the Klingons.  Had to get rid of it

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: continues to fire on the pirate ships::

Host Dremmon says:
@COM: Apache: Sounds like we could have just set on the side lines and watched this one. :: chuckles:: Ok we will  help clean up the riff raff. Dremmon out.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Sits back in her seat and watches the other ships clean up:: FCO: Now this is fun. :: Smiles brightly::

Action: The Civ's next shot hits the target and the ship suddenly looses power.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
OPS:  I bet you thought this was going to be a boring assignment, right?

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Contact the Klingons, tell them we appreciate help. Tell the commander I said "ghIj qet jaghmeyjaj"

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Just turns back and stares at the Captain:: CO: Umm...could you spell that for me, sir?

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: giggles at Aeris ::

Action: Slowly the Pirate ships are either destroyed disabled or are powering down their weapons and surrendering.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
:: laughs loudly at Aeris' comment:: OPS: Yep there is at least  2 g`s, 4 j`s, and a h or two

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: You think your prize is on one of those ships?

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Contacts the Klingons and tries her best to repeat what the Captain said, but just knows that the Klingons on the other side are either, offended, confused or laughing like mad...and she was banking on the latter ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:: shakes her head:: CO: I doubt it.  Louie wouldn't put himself into danger as long as he has flunkies to throw at us.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Lets see about that :: grins ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS : Open a general hail to all the pirate ships

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Nods :: CO: That I can do. :: Opens a general hail. ::

Action: There is no response to the hail.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
CO: No response, sir.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Open the channel so I can send a message to all of them

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Shrugs and opens the channel anyways::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
COM: Pirates: This is Captain Grey-feather.  You are all in the custody of Starfleet for piracy.  We are looking for the one known as Louie the mouse.  The pirate crew that surrenders him will be given sentence in Starfleet courts only.  The rest may be tried in the courts of all the races you attacked including Klingon.  I await your response.

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: listens and waits ::

Action: A weaselly looking man appears on the screen.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::growls at the screen::

Host Louie says:
@COM: Apache: They won't be able to do that Captain and this is not over. We will meet again.

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Stumbles back in her seat from the picture but takes a second look before saying...:: Screen: Oh, it's you...

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::starts swearing under her breath in kitty language, her tail lashes back and forth angrily::

Action: A small runabout appears on the other side of the asteroid and suddenly jumps to warp and is lost in the expanse.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: What do you mean its you?

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
All: That guy is getting on my nerves.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: A runabout just left the asteroid at warp. :: swears even more::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Blinks:: CO: Oh, nothing sir. I didn't put that up on the screen, so I was just surprised when He just appeared.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
OPS: Then you better find out how it gone that screen.

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
FCO: Move us towards the rest of the fleet

FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Aye sir. :: taps the console and moves the Apache towards the fleet ::

Host CO_Captain_Grey-feather says:
CIV: Well I know how we are going to spend our vacation next year:: grins at his mate ::

OPS_LtJg_Wharton says:
:: Nods and looks back at her console:: CO: Aye sir...
