Host Bafii says:
Prologue: The Arondight along with the Jaguar and Stillwater continue to take on this second wave of pirate attackers.  The battle is heavy, the outcome still uncertain.
Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::watching the viewscreen intently:: CTO: Status of the pirate ships?
OPS_Rhian says:
:: diverting power to the forward shields, robbing power from all non-essential systems to compensate ::
FCO_Chottu says:
::walks out of the TL straight to flight, only pausing when he remembers there's usually someone in the seat who will have to get out first::
EO_ODonnel says:
::At the engineering station on the bridge trying to give the shields as much power as possible:: CO: The shields are taking quite a battering captain. Unusually so.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Ma'am, we have.... 6 incoming pirate ships.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Good timing, Lt. Take your station and bring us about...let's get back into the fight.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The ship rocks from another volley landing hard against the port shields
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: ::holding on to her chair:: Six more ships?
OPS_Rhian says:
:: holds onto console ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
EO: I understand, Ensign.  Just keep them up and running.  DO what ever you need to.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Sorry ma’am, not incoming, they are here.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: ::looks at him a little closer:: Lt,  that was quite a knock on the head you took.  Gather your wits and start shooting.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Still a little rocky from that electrical hit.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Status of the Jaguar and Stillwater?
FCO_Chottu says:
::takes flight as soon as the seat becomes available, quickly highlighting a pattern and alerting tactical of the new course::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Jaguar finishes a pass on one of the pirate vessels and makes some vital hits, the pirate ship's hull is breeched multiple times and its shields collapse
CTO_Williams says:
::Sets up more barrages, firing torpedoes and phasers at will, at all ships::
EO_ODonnel says:
CO: Captain these shields aren't gonna keep taking this pounding. They must be using some sort of higher energy weapons. This might seem extreme but how do you feel about taking the phasers offline and diverting the power to shields. At leas to give us some breathing room. We have an unparalleled torpedo attack.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Checking now ma’am.  :: sends comm. to the other ships requesting status ::
EO_ODonnel says:
CO: We can use the fighters to cover us at close range.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Send the squadron in to harass the lead pirate ship.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
EO: Find some other way, Ensign.  We need the phasers and the shields together.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Per the CO's orders, the Arondight is bearing down directly on the lead vessel.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Work with Ensign O'Donnell and get him some more power.
CTO_Williams says:
::Agrees quietly with the CO.  The CTO focuses all weapons on the lead vessel::
EO_ODonnel says:
CO: Ok captain but we are running out of options. Our shields ought to be fairing better than this I'd suggest looking into why they are hitting us so hard.
OPS_Rhian says:
:: receives comm. :: CO: Captain the Jaguar reports operational...the Stillwater reports systems at 75% and they are engaging the enemy
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes ma’am
Host CO_K`Beth says:
EO: Then do it.  Have Ensign Rhian help you.
EO_ODonnel says:
CO: Aye captain.
FCO_Chottu says:
::just nods and tells the fighters to form up behind the Arondight, then jump out take their shots and jumping back, causing a rain of phaser fire across space::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The lead pirate ship attempts to hold its ground, but it isn't a match for the Arondight's direct assault, it starts to pull back and give time for other vessels to come to its aid
CTO_Williams says:
CO: I recommend we keep focusing on the lead vessel... if we destroy it, it may demoralize the other vessels, ma’am.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::watches the viewscreen steadily:: FCO/CTO: Give no quarter.  Follow that ship and keep firing. ::nods in agreement with the CTO::
EO_ODonnel says:
OPS: Are you reading anything from the ships that are firing at us that could indicate how they can produce so much power from such a small vessel. It may point to a weakness.
OPS_Rhian says:
:: tries routing power from shuttlecraft fueling stations and robs power from life sciences :: EO: I have routed power from life sciences and from the refueling stations for the shuttlecraft.  You should be able to use the shuttlecraft power plants for additional power

CTO_Williams says:
::Keeps firing on the lead vessel::
FCO_Chottu says:
::commands the fighters to jump out from behind and finish the lead ship::
EO_ODonnel says:
OPS: Shunted it in Ensign but its a spit in the ocean. Quarter percent at the most.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The lead pirate vessel's shields collapse
OPS_Rhian says:
:: tries to find other sources of power, shuts down waste management and all food replicators shunting the power to the shields ::
CTO_Williams says:
::Fires a final salvo to hopefully destroy the ship::
OPS_Rhian says:
EO: No I have not run such a scan without the captain’s orders, we are short enough on power without bringing one of the sensor arrays to full strength
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The lead ship explodes in a violent burst that disables a few fighters that were too close... a second later the Arondight rocks mightily, crew being thrown hard to the deck... the ship the Jaguar almost took completely out rammed the Arondight ventrally... ventral shields are down and their are hull breeches
EO_ODonnel says:
OPS: What about purging power directly from the warp nacelle coils back to the EPS system. I can modulate the structural integrity fields over the EPS conduits to compensate for the sudden flow in warp plasma.
OPS_Rhian says:
:: is thrown to the deck.  Staggers back to his feet :: CO: Captain we have lost ventral shields and we have several hull breaches
CTO_Williams says:
Self: Whew!  Yeee-haaw! ::Gets up and resumes::
OPS_Rhian says:
EO: Negative you will destroy the isolinear matrix with that much raw plasma
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::hits the deck hard and shakes her head to clear the stars out of it.  Pulls her self up and limps heavily over to the OPS station and leans on the back of his seat:: All: I need a status report now!
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Ma’am, we were rammed by another pirate ship!
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Captain permission to take stellar cartography off line and reduce all sections of the ship to emergency lighting only
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The pirate ship was destroyed in the collision, so that leaves 4 ships attacking... and attacking they are
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: DO it...and then evacuate personnel from those decks and seal them off.  Then contact the Jaguar and Stillwater...tell them of our status and that we will get back into the fight as soon as possible.
EO_ODonnel says:
OPS: Come on Rhian live a little we can shunt it through a reinforced EPS buffer and regulate the flow.
CTO_Williams says:
FCO: Lt, please keep our ventral side clear of fire!
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Stillwater is taking heavy damaged from a pirate vessel that it can't seem to dog, the Jaguar is attempting to assist.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
EO: Ensign...get down there and seal off those hull breaches
FCO_Chottu says:
::mutters:: Self: No, no, no, this won't happen. ::calls in fighters to cover the gap::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers.  How many fighters do we have left?
OPS_Rhian says:
:: sounds the klaxon for evacuation to the emergency shelters and begin sealing of decks as the sensors show them clear.  Takes the power from stellar cartography and reduces ships lighting ::
EO_ODonnel says:
CO: Aye captain on my way. ::Jumps from station and into turbo lift::
OPS_Rhian says:
:: Sends status report on secure frequency to the rest of the wing with the CO's personal message ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Lt...I need a casualty report.
FCO_Chottu says:
CO: Little over half of them ma'am.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Not all reports are in yet.... but looks to be light.... 30 people at most.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Sensing weakness, two pirate vessels begin to move in on the Arondight
EO_ODonnel says:
*Repair Crews*: Repair crew get to those core breaches. I'm on my way try to keep us together till then.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Have half of them create a defensive line around our ventral and the other half provide assistance to the Stillwater.  They are only to perform slash and run tactics.
OPS_Rhian says:
:: tries to get the ventral shields back up ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Status on the pirates?
CTO_Williams says:
CO: We've got 4 left, in various states of damage, mostly bad for them
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: I want all of them destroyed...even the disabled ones.  We’ve seen exactly what one disabled pirate ship is still capable of.
EO_ODonnel says:
::Locates the main breach:: *CO*: Captain the breaches are pretty bad I would strongly recommend we don't take another hit down here.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: ::wryly:: We'll try our best not to let that happen, Ensign.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Done.  ::Continues to fire:: FCO: Take us to them, and I will take them out.
OPS_Rhian says:
:: raises one eyebrow at the EO's comment but says nothing ::
FCO_Chottu says:
::nods and messages tactical, marking ships and moments fire opportunities will be avail::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Send a message to the fleet and squadrons.  No disabled pirates ships are to be spared.  They are to be destroyed immediately.
EO_ODonnel says:
::Smiles:: *CO*: I'm sure your hotshot pilot can manage that though.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Arondight turns towards the approaching attackers

OPS_Rhian says:
:: with an almost evil grin :: CO: Of course captain my pleasure.  :: sends message toe the rest of the wing ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::limps back to her chair and sits down, a little relieved to see Dog still safely under there::
EO_ODonnel says:
Repair crew: Get that breach sealed. I'll go check on the other crews.
CTO_Williams says:
::Follows the FCO's recommendations of attack::
OPS_Rhian says:
Himself: Looks as if the captain is only slightly more functional than the ship
FCO_Chottu says:
::starts a timer for the CTO to sync on, letting him know what he'll do 4 seconds before it happens::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: How is the rest of the fleet holding up?
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The pirate vessels enter weapons range and begin firing on the Arondight and the fighters.
EO_ODonnel says:
*OPS*: You keeping us together up there Ensign? I would suggest getting some detailed scans of those pirate ships before you blow them to atoms. Ships with that much power have got to be compromising something to get it!!
OPS_Rhian says:
:: listening to the reports :: CO: Reports coming in now ma’am. Jaguar reports they are engaged with one vessel, commanding officer says they are holding their own but rear shields are weakening.  No report from the Stillwater
FCO_Chottu says:
::commands the fighters to spread out and swarm the pirates::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: As soon as they are able have the Jaguar assist the Stillwater...and hopefully we will still be here to help also.
EO_ODonnel says:
::Reaches second and third breaches:: Self: This is a pleasant first post. ::Smirks as though would be funny if it wasn't so dire::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The two incoming pirate vessels, already damaged in various volleys still aren't enough for the Arondight's fire power...  they are overwhelmed... one loses power while the other tries to break the attack and vector off
OPS_Rhian says:
*EO*: I will pass you suggestion on to the captain ensign.  However if you had ever served on a Romulan vessel you would know your statement to be inaccurate
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes Captain  :: sends message to the Jaguar ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::watching the viewscreen:: FCO/CTO: Don't let any of them escape.
EO_ODonnel says:
*OPS*: Well sorry I wasn't privy to a Romulan upbringing Rhian but we are Starfleet officers on a Starfleet ship and we have to try our best to get our backsides outta this.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*/OPS: Ensigns...attend to your duties.  You can discuss differences in fleet protocol later.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: No problem ::Continues attack::
FCO_Chottu says:
CTO: Let the fighters chase, will keep them in decent range of us, but.. discourage the pirate attack runs.

OPS_Rhian says:
*EO*: Then by all means show us your best ensign :: makes adjustments to power ::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The powerless vessel is destroyed
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes captain you have my apologies  :: bows slightly ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::to herself as she watches the pirate ship explode:: Self: One more to go...
EO_ODonnel says:
*OPS*: Then lets work together and sort this!! You suspect they are using Romulan type technology?
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Pursue the other ship.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The Jaguar sweeps into view and fires a volley at the fleeing ship... it is destroyed
EO_ODonnel says:
::Begins to seal the final part of the last breach::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
::grins:: OPS: Give the Jaguar our thanks.
OPS_Rhian says:
*EO*: I suspect they are pirates and have technology from every world in the quadrant.  Their vessels may have reactors the size of this ships purely for weapons and shields.  our rules of combat do not apply to them
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Any hostiles left?
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: There are no more pirate ships on sensors
OPS_Rhian says:
::sends message :: CO: Yes ma’am
FCO_Chottu says:
::starts collecting fighters, damaged first::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Pull whatever personnel you need to fix the fighters.  And tell your squadrons that they did an excellent job.
FCO_Chottu says:
::just nods and does as ordered::
EO_ODonnel says:
*OPS*: Well you know the weaknesses in the Romulan ships you've served on, and don't go all patriotic on me and say there are none. I suggest scanning for them in the pirate ships.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: None that I’m picking up...
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: Prepare repair teams to assist the Stillwater and the Jaguar.  As soon as we are sure that it is safe we'll transport them over.
EO_ODonnel says:
*CO*: Aye captain. Assembling teams now.
OPS_Rhian says:
:: raises his voice above the rest :: CO: Captain the commander of the Stillwater reporting in.  They destroyed their attacker but damage was critical.  They estimate 20 minutes before a warp core breech
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Good shooting, Lt.  Keep a good eye out for more pirates. ::hears OPS and curses::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
FCO: Bring us close to the Stillwater.
CTO_Williams says:
CO: Aye, aye, ma’am

EO_ODonnel says:
::Enters main engineering to check systems::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Contact the Stillwater and the Jaguar...we are going to evacuate all Stillwater personnel onto the two ships.
Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: As soon as we are in transport range start beaming the Stillwater crew over.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes captain  :: contacts the other two vessels and begins coordinating the evacuation ::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Get the Stillwater commander on screen.
EO_ODonnel says:
*CO*: Captain, I'm reading a massive energy build up in the Stillwater’s warp core. Do they have it under control?
FCO_Chottu says:
::moves the Arondight in:: CO: On it
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Captain I suggest turning our ventral side away from the Stillwater.  If the core breeches early that section of the Arondight would not be able to stand the shock wave
CTO_Williams says:
::Sets up transporters to beam Stillwater crew over::
Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: We need those hull breeches sealed off immediately.
OPS_Rhian says:
:: opens comm. :: CO: Aye ma’am on screen
Host CO_K`Beth says:
OPS: Coordinate with the FCO on that.
EO_ODonnel says:
*CO*: Sealed captain. I'm monitoring the situation from Main engineering.
OPS_Rhian says:
CO: Yes ma’am.  FCO: Lieutenant turn the ventral side away from the Stillwater

XO:      Cmdr. James McDuggle         Rich
 CEO:    Lt. JG Keyser Syren	          Noel
 CNS:    Lt. Cmdr. DiDomnia                 Erin     

Host Bafii says:
Prologue: The Falcon has launched probes to near the edge of the asteroid field, hopefully to gain vital information to complete their mission, or is it just a carrot for the pirate patrols to find?  Only time will tell.
Host Bafii says:
<<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION >>>>>>>>>>
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::on the bridge at tactical, watching the position of the probe as it nears its mark::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief, are the probes in position?
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Just another minute sir
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The probe arrives in position, 5 km from the field
CEO_Syren says:
::watches as the last course corrections is made:: XO: It's in position. We could try to see what it sees? 
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::waits for the probe to start sending back telemetry::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: That what I hope for. Set it to active scan and at the first site of a ship coming at it send it out into space.
CEO_Syren says:
::smiles and programs the instructions:: XO: As you wish, video on screen
Host XO_McDuggle says:
::watches the view screen::
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The screen comes to life and a view of the field is there, asteroids of varying sizes floating in space.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: Lets get as much as we can before it is detected.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO: I'm working on that right now - for now, the probe isn't detecting anything in the field other than asteroids
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: While the visual scan is fine, the other sensors on the probe cannot penetrate the perimeter of the field.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief lets see if we can get it in a little closer.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Aye sir ::accesses the probe control and gently nudges it deeper into the field::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
Self: let's see if we can see anything else now...

CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO/CEO: We still can't penetrate the perimeter, there's too much interference...  ::looks at the reading again:: wait a minute...
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: What do you have?
CEO_Syren says:
::continues playing with the controls:: CNS: Yes?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::pulls up the history of the probe's sensor readings so that she can look at everything that has been sent:: XO: The interference isn't just random, the way it usually is.  It's almost cyclical, like there's a pattern there - it could be some kind of communication or something else man-made
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: Can you figure a way to cut through it?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::begins to analyze the historical data further, along with the new interference that keeps coming in, to see if the pattern continues::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: See if you can help the Counselor.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO: I'm working on it...  I'm running the pattern sequence through databanks to see if there's any matches...
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::watches the computer do its work, running the pattern against jamming methods and known communication frequencies::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: Would it help to move the probe in to the field some more?
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::snaps her fingers:: XO/CEO:  No need, I've got it ::grins::  Its a trirotated theta band shielding sequence - a common jamming method for communications and sensors
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: Good send your finding to the Chief so he can reconfigure the sensors.
CEO_Syren says:
::Keyser had been peeking at the CNS's work and was surprised at how quickly she had figured it out...she could almost be an engineer::
CEO_Syren says:
CNS: No need. I have it here
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::grinning from ear to ear, allows herself a second or two to be proud of her discovery:: CEO: Now lets see how we can get around it, huh?
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: As soon as you get everything set make sure the probe gets the adjustment also.
CEO_Syren says:
CNS: It shouldn't be hard. If you take the lateral arrays I could have the forward sensors done in no time
Host XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Lets move the Falcon to within 10 K of the asteroid field.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CEO: Sure - if we adjust the rotational pattern of the sensors to match that of the interference pattern, we should have some limited sensor ability
Host XO_McDuggle says:
<FCO_Drive>: XO: Roger sir. :: moves the Falcon to within 10 K of the asteroid field::
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::looks up from her console, not quite so happy anymore:: CEO/XO: Problem is, due to the intensity of the theta band shielding, it won't work unless we are actually inside the asteroid field... so we're going to have to go closer and risk detection if we want to get any sensor readings at all.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: Lets see if the probe can do that for us first.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief send the probe into the field but keep it close to an asteroid at you do.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::nods:: XO:  Good idea, and the ships sensors are modified just in case.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: I'll try sir but the sensor capabilities of the probe are a little limited. We'll lose some resolution
CEO_Syren says:
::resumes piloting the probe, moving cautiously deeper into the asteroid field::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: I am not worried too much about that right now. I want to see how many ships we attract first.
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The probe moves in and suddenly the ship loses contact with it as it passes over the jamming line.  Then there is flash as energy weapons fire on the probe and it explodes in a shower of sparks.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO: The probe's been destroyed, sir.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Well it attracted something...something with energy weapons
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: That’s what I was afraid of.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO/CEO:  The last few readings from the probe indicate auto guns set in some of the asteroids
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO/CEO: So if/when we go in there ourselves, we'll have to watch out for them - they'll fire on anything that moves past them.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief Lets pick another point  in the field and send in another probe.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: You're looking for a hole sir? ::begins prepping the probe::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Lets say I am hoping for one I really don't think we will find one.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CEO:  If you're looking for holes, there aren't a whole lot - scans in the immediate area indicate that the auto-guns are all over the place
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: Counselor se if you can get a position on the asteroid that fires at the probe.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Your probe is ready
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO: Yes, it's right to the starboard of the last position of the probe itself, so we have the coordinates of it.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Go ahead and launch it.
CEO_Syren says:
::types in the command:: XO: Probe away, looking good
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CEO: Let's hope so.
CEO_Syren says:
CNS/XO: That's all we have. Also we may want to change positions. It should be obvious to the pirates that somebody is out here now.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
::waits for the probe to enter the field::

Host Bafii says:
ACTION: The probe launches, and a few seconds after contact is lost there is an explosion on the viewscreen
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO:  That one was gunned down as well, sir.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: You get the position of that weapon also.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
XO: Yes, I did.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: They'll surely dispatch a ship now. Two probes in a few minutes is not coincidence
Host XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Take us to the other side of this asteroid field warp 8
Host XO_McDuggle says:
<FCO_Drive>: XO: Roger sir
CEO_Syren says:
::smiles as the idea comes to him:: XO: Good idea sir. We'll enter from the other side while their focused here
Host XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: adjust course to 1/4 of that distance.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: we will try for another point
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Falcon ETA is one day
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::hopes there aren't any more auto-guns at their new entry point::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS; When we get there I want us to go to red alert.
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::nods:: XO: Aye, sir
CEO_Syren says:
XO: But sir, a whole day will give them time to better prepare for us
CNS_DiDomnia says:
CEO: It'll also give us more time to prepare for them - like finding a way into the asteroid field without going the way of the probes
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief I want as much power to the shields as you can get and I need it now.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: We aren't waiting that long.
CEO_Syren says:
XO: Aye sir ::begins rerouting power to the shields:: 
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CEO: Let me know when you ready.
CEO_Syren says:
::suddenly notices that he's the one proposing crashing into the unknown:: XO: That's everything sir, ready when you are
Host XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Take us out of warp and set a course for the asteroid field.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS: Red alert
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::engages Red Alert:: XO: Done, sir
CEO_Syren says:
::considers squeezing a little more powers from the environmental systems. They'd be useless if the ship was gutted by one of the auto guns anyway::

Host XO_McDuggle says:
<FCO_Drive>; XO: Roger sir. :: drops the Falcon our of warp and sets the course for the asteroid field::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
CNS; I want you to fire at anything that fires at us.
CEO_Syren says:
::presses his commbadge:: *ME* Keyser to Engineering. Damage controls teams stand by
CNS_DiDomnia says:
::nods:: XO: Yes sir.  ::monitors the sensors ready to get rid of anything that looks like an auto-gun::
Host XO_McDuggle says:
<FCO_Drive>: XO: Sir course laid in for the asteroid field.
Host XO_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger engage.
