Summary: The USS Arondight is answering a distress call when they found the USS Miami, they found out they were not alone.
Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The Rescue II >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::continues hailing the Cardassian ships::
Host ACO_Madson says:
CSO: Can you identify the life forms on those vessels?
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*Bridge*: This is alpha leader, ready for lift off.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The hails go unanswered.
Host ACO_Madson says:
*O’Neal*: Hold until my command.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir no response to our hails.
CSO_Axin says:
::looks down at his board:: ACO: Sir, they're not all Cardassian biosigns... it's a mixed crew of some kind
Host ACO_Madson says:
CSO: Do they appear segregated in any way?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Cardassian ships fire on the Arondight.  Shields flicker as the phasers hit the ship.
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*ACO*: Understood, standing by
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: checks the power to the shields and routes more power to them::
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Are all weapons locked on the lead vessel?
CSO_Axin says:
::rocks, as the bridge shakes with the weapons fire:: ACO: Checking...

Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Two more ships appear from the atmosphere.
Host ACO_Madson says:
*CEO*: Preston, we are in for a bumpy ride.  I need you to keep us together, and keep us provided with power.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir shall I send out the fighters?
CSO_Axin says:
ACO: Integrated, sir - they're all over the ship, that's not a vessel with a crew and prisoners.  It might not be operated by the Cardassian military.
CEO_Preston says:
*ACO*: Aye, sir.
CEO_Preston says:
:: Checks power grids::
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
ACTION: The comm. signal light from the planet blinks on the OPS Panel.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Weapons locked!  ::watches the sensors::  Two more ships coming out of the atmosphere.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CSO: Thank you.
CNS: Lock torpedoes and phaser on to the lead vessel and fire at your discretion.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::Sees the light on the panel:: ACO: Sir we are receiving a hail from the planet.
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Bring it up.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::hopes that they won't have to fire, but is let down with Scott's next command::  ACO:  Torpedoes locked, phaser targeted on lead vessel.  ::holds her breath and fires everything::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: puts the hail on screen:: ACO: Aye Sir on screen now.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The view screen displays a very snowy picture,
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
Self:  Please let those people be able to tell us what is going on...
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: works on cleaning up the signal:: ACO : Working on that now sir
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
<Captain Lowe>: COM Arondight: This is Captain Lowe.  Please send help...
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::knowing there are several different species on the Cardassian ship, Ariel 'reaches' with her mind to see if any are telepathic::
Host ACO_Madson says:
COM: Lowe: This is Scott Madson of the U.S.S. Arondight.  Help is on the way.  Allow us to deal with your attackers before we can assist you.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Weapons fire leaps from the Arondight and hit the lead vessel.  The ship veers off.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::sends out hails to the ship again::
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
<Captain Lowe>: COM Arondight: We are being attacked by ground troops.  We can’t hold them for long.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO: Captain...lead ship is moving away.  Have weapons locked ready to fire again on command.

Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Lock phasers on retreating vessel.  Give me a full volley of photon torpedoes, full spread side to side in the attacking group.  You don't have to hit anything, just fire and try to disperse the group.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::reconfigures the weapons to Scott's specifications as quickly as she can and let's go the entire volley::  ACO:  Firing away!
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir do you wish to use the fighter to help disperse the ships?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The lead ship makes a full turn and forms up with the rest of the ship and begins firing again.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::sighs as she sees their lead ship regroup and fire::  ACO:  Ready for another more targeted volley.  They're coming at us again.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight unleashes all its weapons.  The lead ship takes the brunt of the fire.  A torpedo slams into the failing shields and tears a hole in the hull exposing the guts of the ship
CEO_Preston says:
*ACO*: What’s going on up there!
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Signal their pending launch, but wait for my command.
Host ACO_Madson says:
*CEO*: We are under fire, keep my ship together.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir they have been ready to launch for some time and are still waiting you orders.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::winces as she feels the pain of the wounded enemy crew members, then looks at the screen intently for a moment::  ACO:  Captain...there's other telepaths on the enemy vessel!  I'm blocking my thoughts so they can't 'see' what's coming if they're 'looking'.
CEO_Preston says:
*ACO*: I'm trying my best, but you try keeping a big ship like this together!
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: checks the shields status:: ACO: Sir shields are down to 65% and still holding.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::worries for O'Neal and his crew going into the heat of battle, glances at Ko`Bil when he gives his report::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: Starts shutting down nonessential areas and route that power to the shields::
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Thank you.
CNS: Target various ships in the group, only one weapon to one ship.  Fire at your discretion.  Quickly now.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks over the sensors to see which ships are about to fire and which are closest and most vulnerable:: ACO:  Firing phasers on lead ship...torpedoes on each ship both sides, targeting engineering.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir I have a suggestion to try and help the people on the planet.
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: What do you have?
Host ACO_Madson says:
CSO: Are you getting any readings on the surface?
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::continues to be careful to block her thoughts, glad it wasn't Scott who specified the battle plan since the telepaths could probably read him, being only half-Betazoid::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: If we send out the fighters now we could have one squad of them head for the planet to help the people down there.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight unleashes its weapons on the lead ship.  The phaser blast blows past the shields and hit the exposing area.  Plasma leaks into the surrounding space, the ship explodes in a blaze of glory.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Is there any way to find the enemy biosigns and distinguish them from our people?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The remaining ships get hit and turn and head into the atmosphere.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CNS: It is possible but even if we did we cant transport them up with our shields up.
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Launch the fighters as soon as they break their attack.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::turns her head and half closes her eyes as that lead ship goes into some brilliant fireworks, then again targets the other ships, but sighs with relief as the remaining enemy runs off::  ACO:  Remaining enemy heading back into the atmosphere!
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Launch the fighters now!
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  No, I was thinking about targeting the surface enemy with phasers...any that are not close to our guys.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger Sir they are retreating now. *LT. O`Neal*: You are authorized to launch now :: sends him the situation on the planet as well::
Host ACO_Madson says:
*CEO*: We are experiencing a break in the attack.  Get those shields up to strength ASAP.
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*OPS*: Aye, launching now.  ::Pushes the engines to full::
CEO_Preston says:
*ACO*: Aye.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Maybe those ships are protecting something on the planet they don't want us to find?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: 5 fighters leave the fighter bay and head to the planet.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: I would imagine they are trying to keep us away from the Miami crewmen.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CNS: I am afraid that that would not be possible as both forces are to close together for the ship weapons.
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*OPS*: We are entering the atmosphere.  ::Increases Inertial Dampeners::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods:: OPS:  I was afraid of that, but had to pursue the possibility.  ::inside, Ariel is glad to not be firing on other humanoids::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: From what I have gathered, it could be part of the Orion Syndicate.
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS/CSO: Try to get a lock on the Miami's biosigns.  If the fighters can keep those Cardassian vessel away from us, I wouldn't mind lower a shields for a short moment to transport them on board.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*LT O`Neal*: Roger trying to keep a transporter lock on all of you.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Yes, but maybe that was why the Miami was attacked in the first place...perhaps they discovered something they should not have.  ::shakes her head, wondering::
CSO_Axin says:
ACO: Understood ::turns to planet bound sensors, looking for signs of the Federation ship::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: One of the fleeing ship turns about and engages the fighters.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Keep weapons ready, those Cardassians could be coming back out of the atmosphere at the drop of a hat.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger sir working on it now. and the fighters have entered the Atmosphere now
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*OPS*: We are being engaged from the attackers.  Breaking left.  ::Powers up weapons::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO: Fighters being attacked, one of the Cardassian vessels has done a turnabout and is firing!  Keeping phasers on that enemy vessel now...
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::tries to shake the feeling of all the deaths of that lead vessel, hating to have to feel the suffering::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: checks his lock on the Miami’s crew:: ACO: Sir I am only reading 30 survivors on the planet. and the fighters are now being engaged.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The fighters break left and swarm the attacking ship.  F
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::waits to see if Scott will order help for the fighters from the Arondight.  Watches as the computer tracks the enemy, constantly adjusting::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: sir I have a transporter lock on them and am ready to transport when the shields can be dropped .
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Attacking Cardassian ship fires and one of the fighter’s shields are down.  Smoke begins to rise from the fighter.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Fire a phaser on the Cardassian vessel when you have a clear shot.  I don't want anything to strike one of ours.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: reads the fighter in trouble and keep the transporter lock on him hoping the shield can be dropped soon::
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*OPS*: Alpha 3 is hit.  He is returning to the ship.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Yes sir.  ::concentrates completely on finding an opening...then...fires::
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Begin transport, make sure the transporter room has a force field up and a security detail.  There is still something fishy about this.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Drop shields for transport.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*Lt. O`Neal*: Roger sending him the return coordinates.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger sir :: sets the force field up in TR1:: Ready when you are.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Dropping shields now...
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Energize.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: transports up the 30 people to TR1:: ACO: Transporting up now.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Miami's survivors are beamed up into TR 1.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::watches carefully, worried about an attack, but hoping they can rescue all those helpless people::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::suddenly 'feels' the new people on board the Arondight and smiles::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: We have them sir raise shield
Host ACO_Madson says:
*TR1*: This is Scott Madson.  We are transporting survivors.  Is this the full extent of your crew?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: O'Neal's fighter fires on the attacker and breaks left.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir shall I recall the fighter now?
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Have them ready for their return.
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
<Captain_Lowe>: ACO: We are all here, you should send help, the Admiral is hit.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: looks at the ACO kind of funny:: ACO: Sir I would think that they would already be ready to return.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Raise the shields.
OPS: Signal the fighters to return.
CEO_Preston says:
*ACO*: I don’t think I can pump more energy to the shields.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::immediately raises the shields:: ACO:  Shields raised.
Host ACO_Madson says:
*CEO*: I understand, but see what you can do.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger sir. *Lt. O`Neal* : Lt have all the fighter return to the Arondight.
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*OPS*: Aye returning to the ship.
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Signal sickbay to get treatment to the Admiral as quickly as possible.  Also, check with TR1's security detail.  If everything checks out, have the crew report to sickbay and I'd like Captain Lowe to come to the bridge.
CEO_Preston says:
*ACO*: I will need to shut down the astrology labs, holodecks and holosuits to get more power.
Host ACO_Madson says:
*CEO*: Do it.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: sets up the fighter bay for the returning fighter:: ACO: Sir they are already on their way.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The damaged fighter lands sluggishly in the bay.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Watch for any Cardassian vessels pursuing the returning fighters.
CEO_Preston says:
*ACO*: Aye sir. :: Shuts down astrology labs and all holosuits and holodecks::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
<NoDuz>:: Sees the damaged fighter return and send a med team as well as the mechanics to the ship::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Shall I notify sickbay they may have people coming in?
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: I believe OPS is taking care of it at the moment.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Slowly one by one the fighters land on the ship.  The pursuing ships emerge from the atmosphere
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*Lt. O`Neal*: Lt. I am informing you that your damaged fighter has made it back to the ship.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CNS: Sick Bay has been notified already counselor.
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
*OPS*: Good.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
ACO:  Our enemies are heading back at us from the planet again and the fighters are back in.
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: Set course for the Avalon station, warp 5.  Hopefully those ships won't follow us too far.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
OPS:  Good, I was just worried and had been watching sensors.  I hope there are not many injuries.
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: Lock torpedoes and prepare to fire.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger Sir :: sets course for Avalon station and engages at warp 5 as soon as all of the fighters are aboard.
Host Lt_O`Neal says:
ACTION: The last fighter lands in the bay
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::reluctantly locks weapons again, wondering at these peoples tenaciousness after their lead vessel was taken out::  ACO:  Ready to fire.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: engages the engines and goes to warp 5::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: We are headed for Avalon station now.
Host ACO_Madson says:
OPS: What is the location of Captain Lowe and the Admiral?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight leaps into warp with a bang.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Checking now sir but I believe that they might still be in TR1.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir I am right they are still in TR1.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir ETA to Avalon Station is 4 hours.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::relaxes that the battling is over::
Host ACO_Madson says:
CNS: You take the bridge.  Contact me if anything happens.
OPS: Maintain warp until the Cardassians have broken their pursuit.  I'm going to pay Captain Lowe a visit.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods to Scott:: ACO:  Yes sir.
