<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The Rescue III >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: checks the reports coming in and sees that it is going to take another hour to fix the damaged fighter::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
::Arrives on the bridge, and looks around::
CSO_Axin says:
::sitting at the bridge wall science console, monitoring events quietly::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::stands to greet the Captain:: Lowe: Captain, good to have you on board.  Would you like to join me in the ready-room?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: Certainly, Commander.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::motions the Captain enter first::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
::Walks in::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::follows Captain Lowe in and sits down at the table offering Lowe the other:: Lowe: I'm glad we could rescue you off the surface of that planet.  So tell me, what happened out there?
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: watches the Captain and ACO enter the RR:: CSO: I wouldn't mind being in on that little meeting. :: nods towards the RR::
CSO_Axin says:
::turns in his seat to face the center of the bridge, and exhales, thoughtfully as he realizes quite how sparse their bridge crew seems to be::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
::Take a seat on the couch:: ACO: Well, we were attacked by an unknown force, then forced to crash landed on the planet where you found us.
CSO_Axin says:
OPS: Uh, sir, ::wonders if he ought to interrupt the AXO:: OPS: I'm detecting a vessel it's on an intercept course and closing.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Lowe: What was your vicinity to the planet when you were attacked?
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CSO: Do you have any type of identification on it.

Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO :Natural Vegetation, but we were attacked from the air and on the ground.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: moves to tactical and ties in the OPS console::
CSO_Axin says:
OPS: Not at this range, I will when it gets closer.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Lowe: Was there a reason you had stopped at the planet before you were attacked?
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: checks the tactical sensors to see if its weapons are active:: CSO: I will inform the ACO.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*ACO*: Sir we have an incoming vessel I am trying to hail them now.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: We didn't stop at the planet, we crash landed on it.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
*OPS*: Understood, I will be on the bridge momentarily.
Lowe: I apologize for stopping our conversation short, but it appears we have guests.  ::stands up and motions to allow Lowe leave first::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown ship>: COM: Arondight: Surrender, or you will be destroyed.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
::Gets up and heads back to the bridge::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
*ACO*: Roger Sir also its weapons are active.
CSO_Axin says:
::stands, and steps forward to the freestanding console facing the inner bridge::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
COM; Unknown Ship: Identify your self.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::returns to the bridge:: COM: Vessel: This is Commander Scott Madson of the U.S.S. Arondight.  State the reason for your demands.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CSO: Can you take the tactical console for the time being?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown ship>: COM: Arondight: We are part of an organization against all Alpha Quadrant expansion.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: brings the weapons around and locks them on the ship::
CSO_Axin says:
ACO: Sir, it's the same vessel we encountered at the planet.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: hears the reply and thinks oh great some radical nut group::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir I have a weapons lock on the ship.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
::Looks up at the screen, and motions to mute the signal::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::mutes the COM::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Vessel: Understood.  This is Starfleet Territory, I suggest you lower your shields and stand down.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: Captain, this group is highly dangerous.  There was a report of them trying to hijack couple federation ships a while back
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::looks at the Captain::

Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: I wouldn't take them lightly.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS: Are our shields raised?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown ship>: COM: Arondight: We are part of an organization against all Alpha Quadrant expansion.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir shields are raised and weapons are active and locked.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown ship>: COM: Arondight: No I suggest you do.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS: Make sure O'Neal's squad in addition to the Arondight's fighters are ready for deployment as well.  Un-mute please.
CSO_Axin says:
::quietly marvels at how polite combat has become, when everyone merely suggests repeatedly that the opposition stand down::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger Sir :: contacts the fighters and has them go to launch standby::
CSO_Axin says:
ACO: Sir, there are more ships behind the lead vessel.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CSO: Understood.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown ship>: COM: Arondight: This is your last chance.   Surrender your ship and the Admiral and no one will get hurt
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: hears the part about the Admiral and wonders how they knew about him::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: unmutes the COM::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Vessel: I do understand what you are saying.  I'm trying to understand your needs here.  Why do ask of the Admiral?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown ship>: COM: Arondight: Since you are all going to die, the Admiral holds information that can be useful to our group.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::sits and listens to Scott dealing with the situation::
CSO_Axin says:
Self: Not if he dies, he doesn't...
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: thinks all this talk is getting us nowhere we need to just shoot them out of space and get back to the station::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Vessel: I'm not aware of any such sensitive information?  Is it possible we are talking about the correct Admiral?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::motions for OPS to mute the channel::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
::Mutes the Channel again::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::says quietly::  ACO:  As long as you keep them talking it will prolong them not taking the action they intend.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown ship>: COM: Arondight: Stop toying with me.  I want the admiral.  ::Motions the tactical officer::

OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: makes sure there is plenty of power to the shields::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS: Target their vital systems.
CSO: What is the maximum speed of those ships?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS: Un-mute the channel again.  I need to drag them out a little longer.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Already targeted Sir.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger sir :: unmutes the channel:: Go ahead.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: As the attacking ships reach optimal firing range, a phaser shot is pulsed from the ship and barely misses the Arondight.
CSO_Axin says:
ACO: Believed to be around warp 8, sir... I think
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir they are firing at us now.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Vessel: I am not trying to toy with you.  I am trying to help understand what you need, so we can best reach a solution that benefits is all.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Vessel: The Admiral is injured, and I am not sure of his status at the moment.  If you would allow us several minutes I can bring him to the bridge, and we can talk about the information you believe he possesses.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::says quietly as she sees the close streak of light and tenses for a second::  ACO:  They will have nothing if we are destroyed.  They know that so delay will keep us alive.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown Ship>:COM: Arondight: Enough stalling!  I want the Admiral now! ::Motions again to his tactical officer::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Another phaser pulse leaps from the attacking vessel and strikes the Arondight’s rear shields.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::readies herself for another shot at the Arondight::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
CNS: Get the Admiral up here, on the double.
COM: Arondight: Force is not necessary.  I'm getting the Admiral as we speak.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: holds on to his console as the Arondight is hit:: ACO: No damage to shields sir  however I would not suggest you let them try it again.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::turns and whispers to Lowe:: Lowe: What do you know of this?  I'm serious, I need to know what you know, right now.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: thinks to him self that trying to deal with these terrorist is a waste of time and could possibly get someone hurt::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: Admiral Winters, developed new technology to virtually hide a ship without a cloak.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Lowe: Brilliant, and is there any prototypes, or is he the only person that is familiar with the technology?
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: hears what Captain Lowe has to say and thinks great just what a bunch of terrorist need is a way to hide a ship with out a cloak::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::doesn't react to Lowe's information outwardly but inwardly is surprised.  Is moving to the turbo lift to get the Admiral:: ACO:  Yes sir, I will bring him up.  ::enters the turbo lift::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: From what I heard, he has a prototype a shuttle.  The shuttle is docked at the star base.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
:whispers to the OPS:: OPS: Mute the channel.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::shakes her head knowing that under no circumstances can the Arondight let them have that information and what that might mean for their vessel.  Steps out of the turbo lift and heads towards sickbay::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: Mutes the channel:: ACO: Roger channel muted.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::still whispering to Lowe:: Lowe: So, it most likely would not be good to lead them back to the Avalon?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: Well when you look at it, it is a normal class 7 shuttle.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS/CSO: How is our tactical situation vs. these guys include all of our fighters launched?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Lowe: How long did it take him to modify the shuttle into a prototype?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACO: A couple of months.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::enters the sickbay at a good stride, worried about this highly volatile situation as she walks over to his biobed::  Admiral:  Sir, I'm sorry, but we have a situation.  A terrorist group leader is demanding he speak with you and has already fired on us.  Will you come to the bridge?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>::Looks up from his bed:: CNS: I see.  ::Gets up:: Take me to the bridge, Commander.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Sir we can out shoot them now however if they have more ship out of sensor range we might not fair so well.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::nods at the Admiral::  Winters: Yes sir, immediately.  ::hesitates for a moment to see how mobile he is and then offers her arm::  Do you need assistance?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>::Shakes his head:: CNS: I am ok to stand on my own.  Well that is what I think.  These doctors don't think so.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown Ship>: COM: Arondight: I am waiting.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: thinks to himself that they need to do something soon before these terrorist can call up more ships::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::gives him a bit of a smile and a sideways glance::  Winters:  It is usually healthy to listen to your doctors I've found.  But this is a very serious situation, Sir.  ::lowers her voice::  They intend on speaking to you about a certain project or destroy us.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::enters the lift but is keeping a close eye on the Admiral's well being physically::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS: If a battle ensues, immediately send out a signal to the Avalon that we are under attack and we might need reinforcements.  Only send out the signal once the first shots are fired.  Also, set a course towards the Avalon, we might also need to run if more ships sneak up on us.

Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>: CNS: Yes, I know which project you are talking about.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS: Unmute the channel, once I say something, mute it back.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
CSO: If I route some more power to the LRS could it help see it there are more ships out there?
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
ACO: Roger message ready and channel is unmuted.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
Winters:  I thought you would.  We have been stalling them as long as possible.  ::the doors open and they walk out onto the bridge::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
COM: Vessel: I'm sorry, but just a minute longer.  The Admiral is on his way.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: Mutes the channel again:: ACO: Channel muted sir
CSO_Axin says:
::sighs:: OPS: We're already up to nine ::wonders how much difference any more would make::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>::Walks onto the bridge:: ACO: Captain, I believe they are looking for me.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Admiral: I'm glad to see you are up and about, but I wish the circumstances were better.  They want you now and they want you bad.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>: ACO: I know, under no circumstances is that technology to fall into their lap.
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
Admiral: I understand.  They want to talk to you.  Do what you can to stall, I'll see what we can do to be ready for them.
OPS: Un-mute the channel.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: unmutes the channel:: ACO: Channel opened.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>::Stands up tall:: COM: Vessel: This is Admiral Winters.  To whom am I speaking with?
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Unknown Ship>:COM: Arondight: Ah the infamous Admiral John Winters.  I am Ronan Kilzane, commander of this vessel.  You have something I want.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at Lowe, concerned with how these negotiations are not going::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>: COM: Kilzane: And what could that be?
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
::leans over the OPS and whispers:: OPS: Target the lead vessels engineering department.  When I give you the signal, hit it with everything we got.  Then signal the Avalon as discussed.
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Kilzane>: COM: Arondight: You have plans I want.
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: leans back and whispers back:: ACO: Roger sir whenever you are ready.
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::stands with her hands behind her back, listening intently and feeling the general emotional atmosphere on the bridge::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Admiral Winters>:COM: Kilzane: What my mother's cookie recipe?  I can't give you that.  ::Smiles::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: chuckles as he hears the Admiral response::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
<Killzane>: COM: Arondight: Fine.  ::Cuts the signal::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::has to bite her lip not to laugh, but smiles just slightly nevertheless, then gets serious again knowing the outcome could be very dangerous for her crew::
OPS_Ko`Bil says:
:: Waits for the ACO's signal::
Host ACO_Cmdr_Madson says:
OPS: Alright, wait for it.  This could be it.  ::has his hand hovering over the OPS' shoulder::
CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::takes a seat, waiting to see what transpires next and hopes they can survive::
Host Capt_Lowe says:
ACTION: The attacking ship fires multiple volleys at the Arondight, causing systems to flicker.
