Star Trek: Apache – Episode #3
Week # 9
Mission: “To Break the Back of …”

Host Apache_Computer says:
Security levels on the USS Apache have dropped to normal levels, with the reappearance of the First Officer. Reports indicate that he was abducted, but later escaped to stop the destruction of both the Apache and the Repair Facility. His captors had eluded the Apache, soon after the First Officer escaped.

Host Apache_Computer says:
The death of the changeling has been classified and can not be accessed by anyone without a Level 9 clearance.

Host Apache_Computer says:
The USS Apache has finished all repairs and tests that were pending. They have been authorized to proceed with their planned mission, with hopes of bringing this war to a rapid close, in favor of the Federation.

@CSO:  And it is now?  What is it?

FCOTurnbl says:
::claps TO on shoulder:: TO:  Welcome to the "Young Lieutenants' Club," Evans!

CSO_Telik says:
@FerCO: It appears we passed through some sort of subspace spacial rift. It may have been temporal in nature.

Host ACO_Dupon says:
ACTION: Aboard the Ferengi Freighter Mudok, unfortunately, the arriving CIV and MO are both injured and knocked unconscious.

FerXO_Mot says:
@CSO: %#42*7## … oh Great … just what this day needs

@CO: Reverse engines for one Captain ... pull us out

FerCO_Rog says:
@::shakes with the ship as he tries to gain control.::  *Engineering:  We need more power

CMO_Jerni says:
@ :: turns to see the MO and CIV bumped their heads and knocked unconscious ::

FerCO_Rog says:
@CMO:  See if you can get a message to your ship.

CO_Tyler says:
::turns to the XO:: XO:  Mr. Valrek, do you have anything you wish to add?

CMO_Jerni says:
@ :: struggles to walk to the MO ::

Host ACO_Dupon says:
ACTION: On the Ferengi Freighter, warp powers goes down quickly followed by impulse power as the ship spins at minimal power in the void....

FCOTurnbl says:
::faces the XO with a smile::

FerCO_Rog says:
@XO:  Great idea ... any suggestion how?  ::growls::

XO_Valrek says:
CO: Nothing at this time, except Congratulations to our tactical officers

@CO: You swore you would never growl at me again... :: Requests the CEO get it together and give them power::

FerCO_Rog says:
@All: Everyone hold on

CSO_Telik says:
@FerCO: Scans show that we passed through a spacial vortex. It also appears to be draining our power.

FerCO_Rog says:
@XO:  See if you can get a message out

CMO_Jerni says:
@ :: goes over to the MO and begins tricorder readings ::

CO_Tyler says:
::nods:: CTO/TO:  Well done.

XO_Valrek says:
CO: If you would excuse me, I have some reports that need tending to. ::serious look on his face::

SO_Storal says:
@::uses the cloth to apply pressure to stop bleeding::

CMO_Jerni says:
@ :: takes out tricorders again... ::

FCOTurnbl says:
::joins his wife at her table::  CO:  This seat taken?

FerCO_Rog says:
@CSO:  Any way to discover what opened this rift of yours?

CIV_Jax says:
FCO: Of course Lieutenant.... ::hands him a tray full of cake to hand out and goes to get drinks::

CSO_Telik says:
@FerCO: I am working on it.

OPS_Edge says:
:: sits on stool next to the CO ::

CMO_Jerni says:
@ :: gets a regenerator to repair CIV :: self: good thing he's not that bad ....

CSO_Telik says:
@::continues scans::

CMO_Jerni says:
@ Self: just a bump on the head.

FCOTurnbl says:
::takes the tray from Jax and starts handing out cake::

FerXO_Mot says:
@Does not like the look the CSO gave him:: All: Get us answers ... you were the person on post ... you did not even see this ... you find out what it is and how we are to escape it..

CO_Tyler says:
XO:  Of course Commander.  *ACO* Lt. Dupon, acknowledge their distress call.  I'm on my way to the bridge.  ::stands and walks toward the exit::

CMO_Jerni says:
@ :: goes back to MO :: SO: How's the bleeding?  Has it stopped?

CTO_Lu says:
Jax: Martini straight up please.

CO_Tyler says:

*CO*: Aye sir.... ::waves a hand to do just that and acknowledges the distress call ordering the Apache to best speed::

XO_Valrek says:
::leaves Fort Apache::

SO_Storal says:
@CMO: it appears to have stopped

CMO_Jerni says:
@ SO: good... good..

FCOTurnbl says:
::overhears the CO and passes the tray back to Jax::  Jax:  I am needed on the bridge... I think I have the room covered.

@ :: begins to scan for other injuries.... :: SO: nothing major...

FerXO_Mot says:
@CO: Apache has answered the distress call ... they are on their way

CIV_Jax says:
::shakes the martini and nods at the CTO:: CTO: Happy Birthday, by the way Ens .... err .... Lieutenant.

CTO_Lu says:
Jax: Nevermind that, I need to go to the bridge.

CSO_Telik says:
@FerCO: I think if we modulate our shield frequency to match that of the space surrounding us we might be able to slip back through the rift.

CMO_Jerni says:
@SO: think we should wake them up?

CIV_Jax says:
::nods at the FCO and CTO as they rush off::

CO_Tyler says:
::walks to the TL:: TL:  Bridge!

FerXO_Mot says:
@CO: We need to find out where this started ... if they get to close they will be sucked in as well

Host Apache_Computer says:
ACTION: The spin of the Mudok has not lessened and it is causing a strain on every possible system.  To make matters worse, the warp core is dangerously close to going critical.

TO_Evans says:
CTO: security reports ready sir.

FerCO_Rog says:
@XO:  tell them they will only get one chance, and to make sure they get all of my crew, not just theirs.

::prepare to raise the shields when the transport is finished::

SO_Storal says:
@::prepares for transport::

CO_Tyler says:
FCO:  Understood, can we get close enough to transport their crew without being effected by the anomaly?

CMO_Jerni says:
@ SO: help the MO

FerCO_Rog says:
@::looks around his bridge for one last time then pushes the XO through the TL doors::

CMO_Jerni says:
@ :: grabs the CIV and helps him to the TR ::

FCOTurnbl says:
CO/XO: We are closing fast, sirs...  ::runs simulations quickly:: checking sir!

SO_Storal says:
@::grabs the MO and helps him to TR::

Host Apache_Computer says:
ACTION: The Apache enters transporter range streaking across the Laurential system like a bullet .....

XO_Valrek says:
FCO: Can we have a visual?

FCOTurnbl says:
XO:  On Screen, Sir.

CMO_Jerni says:
@:: arrives with CIV to the TR, amazed that they made it.. ::

CSO_Telik says:
@::runs into the TR::

FerXO_Mot says:
@:;rushes back to the bridge area ... punching buttons on the panels  cursing in Ferengi::

CO_Tyler says:
CTO:  Prepare transporters. Begin transporting crew as soon as we're within range.

SO_Storal says:
@::Arrives at TR::

XO_Valrek says:
::looks at the ship on screen and notices the spinning motion::

CTO_Lu says:
::tries to get a lock on the crew::

FCOTurnbl says:
CO:  We are in Range Now sir!

CTO_Lu says:
::gets a lock and transports the crew::

CO_Tyler says:
CTO:  Beam them aboard now, Lt.

XO_Valrek says:
CO: Maybe a short burst from our tractor beam can stop the ship from spinning

FerCO_Rog says:
@::hustles the Apache's new crew and others along in front of him::  All:  move it

FCOTurnbl says:
::makes sure not to get caught in anomaly::

CO_Tyler says:
::watches the spinning ship::  XO:  Try it.

FerXO_Mot says:
@::rushes around... as he does so he keeps an eye on the core panel ... minutes ... they have only minutes... :: Aloud: Hurry … hurry...

CMO_Jerni says:
@ CIV: you got to loose some weight when we get to the Apache...

OPS_Edge says:
CO: we're ready for transport but with shields down it might blow sir ... this should be pure luck. If this fails we'll probably not need another repair facility

FCOTurnbl says:
::lays in emergency egress vector to NAV console::

SO_Storal says:
@::Breathes a sigh of relief::

FerXO_Mot says:
@:;finds himself being transported::

CTO_Lu says:
::beams the crew over::

Host Apache_Computer says:
ACTION: Full Crew of the Ferengi Freighter Mudok is transported over to the USS Apache just moments before its warp core goes critical ...... both the Ferengi CO and XO are overcome with nausea during the transport.

CSO_Telik says:
::looks around the Apache TR with relief in his eyes::

CTO_Lu says:
::Raises the shields::

XO_Valrek says:
CTO: Give the bow of that ship, a shot of our tractor beam

CMO_Jerni says:
:: materialize with CIV onto the Apache ::

CTO_Lu says:
XO: aye sir.

Host Apache_Computer says:
ACTION: The CMO, SO, MO, CIV, CSO, Ferengi CO, & Ferengi XO materialize on the Apache in Transporter Room One.

CIV_Jax says:
::looks up as the Ferengi and new crew are beamed aboard and pulls his massively wide Brikar frame up to its full size taking them all in and nearly filling the transporter room with himself:: All: Welcome to the USS Apache .....

XO_Valrek says:
CTO: A 10 second burst

CTO_Lu says:
::fires a short burst of the tractor beam::

FerCO_Rog says:
::doubles over on the transporter pad of the Apache::

CMO_Jerni says:
:: looks and sees people in SF uniforms ::

Host Apache_Computer says:
ACTION: The Mudok goes critical and explodes dramatically right in front of the Apache .... .

FerXO_Mot says:
::bends over as his feet touch the ground of the Apache ... groaning::

FerCO_Rog says:
Jax:  You need to work on that transporter of yours.

CO_Tyler says:
CTO:  Did we get them?

XO_Valrek says:
::closes his eyes and braces::

TO_Evans says:
::Covers eyes from explosion::

CTO_Lu says:
CO: yes we did sir!

CIV_Jax says:
::nods at the Ferengi CO:: FerCO: Of course sir ....

FCOTurnbl says:
::uses Thrusters to rotate in place and yaws ship into emergency egress vector, hits warp drive::

FerXO_Mot says:
Aloud: My ship... oh my ship....

CMO_Jerni says:
:: lets go of CIV as she catches FerXO when he doubled over ::

CSO_Telik says:
::jostles under the shock wave of the Mudok as it hits the Apache::

FerCO_Rog says:
::looks over at his XO::  XO:  Some people have all the luck.

CMO_Jerni says:
FerXO: whoa ... you don't look well.

SO_Storal says:
CMO: Lets get these people to sick bay

FerCO_Rog says:
FerXO:  Your ship? Your ship?

FerXO_Mot says:
:;holds on to CMO: what a dang shame...  Oh… ::starts to feel lunch coming up::

CSO_Telik says:
::exits TR 1 and heads for the bridge::

CMO_Jerni says:
SO: right... MO: help me take the FerCO and FerXO to the SB... I believe that's deck 9 if I remember correctly.

Host Apache_Computer says:
ACTION: The FCO's maneuver quickly saves the Apache from the brunt of the explosion and the ship is only mildly rocked as it speeds away from the scene to a safe distance ... the Mudok ... utterly destroyed ... is left to disintegrate under the massive warp core explosion .....
