Captain's Log, Stardate 10704.01

The Senior Staff of the USS Arondight have been split up into two teams. Commander Madson and Lieutenant Commander Jakiel will serve as the Commanding and Executive Officers of the USS Citiadel, respectively. By having been granted this additional vessel, it is my hope that we will be able to open a temporal rift to the future

I am uncertain as to what we will face while in the future, but I do know that hostility will be the primary factor. For some reason, the future Marat will decide that she needs to coerce me into the future. I wish I knew what exactly this was all about, but I am certain all will be revealed quite soon.

It is unfortunate that the crew must be dragged into this mess. However, Admiral Winters needs to be saved and this situation must be rectified. I will do whatever in my power to stop the future from interfering with the time line one way or another. I just hope that by entering the future, we do not change history for the worse.

End Log.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::at the tactical station on the bridge of the Arondight::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::Ashley looked toward the viewscreen from the command chair as the ships reach their coordinates:: CTO: Lieutenant Ki, Red Alert.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@:: Sits at flight control waiting for the rift to  be opened::

ACTION: Both ships come to a full stop just outside of the coordinates.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye.  ::activates red alert::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::arrives on the bridge, her boots scrape on the deck plating as she steps out::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She notices the Glinn arrive:: CIV: Welcome back, Glinn. Please take Science One and prepare to open a temporal rift.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watches the Cardassian::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::raises an eyebrow::  CO: Temporal rift?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: That is correct, Glinn. Did you have a chance to read the Mission Briefing I sent out? We have been ordered to head to the future to save the Admiral.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::frowns then focuses his attention on the tactical console::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She turns to the Acting Operations Officer:: NoDuz: Ensign, please hail the Citiadel.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::looks uncomfortable for a moment::  CO: No.  Please let me take the Dilgra out and wait for the Arondight to return.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir we are at the point where we are to open the rift

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::looks at Marat and wonders what is really going on::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She pauses for a moment:: CIV: I'd like to see you in my Ready Room for a moment. ::She looks toward Ki:: CTO: Lieutenant, you have the Bridge. Have preparation made for the rift to be opened, but do not commence without my order.

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@ ::standing at the science station on the bridge::

AOPS_Ens_NoDuz says:
CO: Aye Captain Channel opened.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::moves toward the Ready Room::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Handle that comm for me, Lieutenant. ::She enters her Ready Room::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::has no idea what the CO planned to speak to the Citadel about::  COMM:  XO:  Nearly ready?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::already inside waiting for the CO::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Glinn, I do understand your reservations for taking on this assignment, seeing that your future self takes a vital role. However, you are the best Science Officer I have and have the most knowledge on Cardassian technology. The fact is, I need you on this mission, Glinn.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
NoDuz:  Are you sure they are receiving?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::raises an eyebrow about the mention of a future self::  CO: Captain?

AOPS_Ens_NoDuz says:
CTO: as far as I can see they are.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir we are receiving a hail from the Arondight.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: You were not informed of the events that transpired before you were ill? ::She shakes her head and moves toward her desk, motioning for the Glinn to follow her:: CIV: I want you to look this over. It should only take a few minutes.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::steps over around behind the Captain's desk and leans on it looking into the monitor::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
COMM:  Citadel:  Helloooo?  Anybody there?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::takes communications::  COM: Arondight:  Citadel here.  We seem to be having a little interference.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches the screen as the transmission from the Legate plays for the Glinn::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
COMM:  CNS:  No worries.   We'll be opening the rift momentarily.  Is everything ready over there?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::watches intently allowing a grin to cross her face as she watches the message::  CO: Well that's an interesting predicament isn't it?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@FCO: Prepare to enter the rift. COMM: CTO: We are ready over here.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: In more ways than one, Glinn. ::She pauses for a moment:: CIV: I understand that we didn't get off on the right foot, but I don't want something that occurs between us to cause something such as this to happen. I know that by you attending this mission you would be transpiring against yourself. How do you feel about this?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: I have been ready sir

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
COMM: XO:  We're waiting on Captain Yates.  Wait for her signal.

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@::waits expectantly for whatever happens next::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches the Glinn carefully as she taps her Combadge:: *CTO*: Yates to Ki. Begin forming the rift.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::a smirk still evident on her face at the CO's question::  CO: I'm not sure.  I guess we'll find out.  Emotion is what shapes the future Captain.  Shall we proceed?  ::feeling that tug on her temporal lobe again::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::eyes go wide::  *CO*:  Ummm....  ::has no idea how::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::quickly reconfigures his console and tries to figure it out::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: We shall, Glinn. ::She makes her way out of her Ready Room:: CTO: Not a problem, Lieutenant. CIV: Glinn Marat, please take your station and begin the proper procedures.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Citiadel: XO: Commander Madson, are you ready to proceed?

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@COM: Arondight: CO: We are.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Citiadel: XO: Have your Science Officer begin coordinating with Glinn Marat in opening the rift. Once it is open, the Arondight will pass through first. ::She takes her seat::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@:: kind of hoped that the Captain would have dumped the Cardassian out the nearest air lock and saved us having to go to the future::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::steps over to her console and brings up her files for the creation of a temporal rift and coordinates with the Citadel::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::with a sigh of relief configures his console back to tactical::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CEO: Lieutenant, monitor all power flow and make sure that the deflector dish has the proper amount necessary to ensure the opening of the rift.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::notifies the flight control deck to standby::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Mister Ki, be prepared to fight at a moments notice. We are unsure where exactly we'll be once we enter the future. ::She turns toward the Glinn:: CIV: Begin when ready, Glinn.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::turns from the console::  CO: My dear Captain...  we are ready to proceed.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@SO: Work with Marat on the Arondight in getting the rift open.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  I'll be watching tactical sensors like a hawk, Captain.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She smiles:: CTO: I know you will, Lieutenant. ::She turns her gaze toward the viewscreen::

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@::turns to the XO:: XO: Yes Sir  
CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
COM: Citadel: SO: Prepare anti-proton beam targeting these coordinates.  ::enters coordinates into a console::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: Understood sir.  ::does as is told::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
~~~CNS: Look out for the Citiadel, Counselor.~~~ ::She waits for the beam to be initiated::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: SIF and IDF fields at full strength and power is holding steady.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CEO: Understood. Make sure that they stay that way, Chief.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::glances up at the view screen::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::is surprised to 'hear' from her Captain::  ~~~CO: Captain?  I'm not sure what you mean.  It seems to be going well so far.~~~

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: They will or it is my neck.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
~~~CNS: So far being the key word, Ariel. I don't know what to expect over there.~~~ ::She nods:: CEO: I'll hold you to it.

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@COM: Arondight: CIV: Right away Sir ::Her fingers move over her console, preparing the beam::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
COM: Citadel: SO:  Fire on my Mark....  ::hits several keys with her fingers::  3... 2...

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: Captain... best hold on... this may turn out poorly.  ::grins into her console::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
COM: Citadel: SO: Mark!  Fire Anti-Proton beam.

ACTION: The Deflector Dish on the Arondight lits up and fires into space, causing a rift to open.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: Power is still holding sir.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::returns his attention to his console, and focuses tactical scans toward the rift::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She shakes her head slightly:: CIV: I have every faith that you'll keep us together. ::She watches as the rift opens:: AFCO: Crewman, take us in.

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@COM: Arondight: ::Her fingers hover over the controls and tap as the CIV finishes her countdown:: CIV: beam away

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
~~~CO:  Yes, well, I am as concerned about this as anyone...as you know.~~~  ::puts a smile on her face knowing that Ashley heard more times than she wanted how much against the Temporal Directive it is::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@::sits watching the rift start  to open::

AFCO_PO_Dancer says:
CO: Aye, Captain! ::Brings the Arondight slowly into the rift::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@::can feel the concern from the CNS as she is apparently "speaking" with someone::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::watching her console with both eyes and senses all the emotions on the bridge::

ACTION: The Arondight and Citadel both enter the rift.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches as the Arondight makes its way into the rift:: CTO/CIV: Can you detect anything from the other side?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::her nerves start to tense and looks over at Scott, barely shaking her head in concern over this ill venture::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@:: follows the Arondight into the rift:: XO: sir we are heading into the rift behind the Arondight.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::begins targeting the sensor pallets at the opening in time and space::

ACTION: Fluctuations within the rift causes consoles to spark up.  Shields flicker as the ships exit the rift

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@FCO: Nice and steady.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Trying!  ::tries to sort out energy readings::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::shields her face from one such spark::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches the light show as the Arondight moves, noting several of the console flickers::

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@::Steadies herself against her console as they move into the rift::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::begins to shunt power to backup systems and makes the proper adjustments::

ACTION: The Arondight and Citadel both exit the rift.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CEO: See what you can do to minimize those console fluctuations!

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@:: watches as her console sparks and does what she can to stop it::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
*Engineering*: Spanner get your teams moving now.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Captain!  We have a ship on sensors.  It's huge!

EO_Ens_Spanner says:
*CEO*: Already on it sir.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir we have cleared the rift.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Identification? ::She stands up from her seat::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: One step ahead of you sir.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Unknown at present.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::hands fly over the console making the proper adjustments::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@SO/FCO: We do we have on sensors?  Lets get a good scan before going anywhere.

ACTION: The huge ship scans both the Arondight and Citadel.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Continue your scans of the vessel, Lieutenant. ::She pauses:: CIV: Glinn, please see if you can detect any Federation vessels in range.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  We're being scanned.

EO_Ens_Spanner says:
::gets his teams moving and repairs are effected quickly::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::begins scanning the surrounding space looking for planetary bodies and/or nebulae::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AFCO: Back us off, Crewman. I want to be a safe distance from that ship.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::analyzes the sensor sweep for some idea of the origin of its technology::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::turns to look:: Self: Holy Hanna.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CEO: Open a channel to the Citiadel, Chief.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir we have an incoming ship which is scanning us.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
COM: USS Citiadel: This is USS Arondight: Please respond.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::checks to see how the Citadel came through.  See if she is damaged::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir it is the Arondight on Comms

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Hundreds of crew, some of them human.  ::continues sorting through the sensor data::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She inclines her head toward the CTO:: CTO: Weapon systems?

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::can't help but keep standing, really becoming nervous about this and 'reaches out' to the other ship to 'see' what the emotions are doing there in reaction to their two Past ships showing up::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Trying.  ::tries to focus in on the ship's weapon signatures::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Plasma weapons.  I've never seen a configuration like this before though.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::begins scanning for Federation... and secretly, Cardassian technology::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@FCO: Bring them up on the viewscreen.

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@ ::Her fingers move over the console, her eyes reading the information being passed to her::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@SO: Get me everything you can on that vessel.  Whatever you can make sense of.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Aye Sir :: puts the COM on the viewscreen::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Citiadel: XO: It looks like we have some company to start with. See what your scans can find out from the vessel. I will attempt to speak with whomever is commanding there. I'd like for us to keep constant comm contact for the time being.

ACTION: After the scans, the huge ship launches hundreds of fighters, they have a really high pitched engine, almost a high whine.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::throws her hands in the air slightly::  CO: Captain, I am not detecting any known forms of technology anywhere within range.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
Self:  We have to reinforce our shields...  CEO:  What modifications can we make?  ::sends the weapons information to the engineering console::

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@ XO: Yes Sir ::Fingers moving over the console again as she shifts through the data::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::looks::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Any luck on detecting any... ::She raises an eyebrow as the fighters launch:: CEO: Hail that vessel now! ::She looks toward the AFCO:: AFCO: Prepare for evasives.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
Self: Holy cow not good.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: It is conceivable that this was either A) A very bad idea or B) Going to be a very bad idea when people start shooting.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir we have incoming fighters.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CEO:  Did you get the data?  ::is slightly panicked::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::scans the fighters::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
COM: Un known Vessel: This is the USS Arondight: Please respond.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: I am starting to agree with your assessment, Glinn. However, we have our orders.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CTO: Yeah I got the data.  Trying to reconfigure now.

ACTION: The huge ship begins it barrage of fire on the Arondight.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Incoming fire!

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@:: sets up evasive action courses::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::is startled by what she feels::  XO: Commander...the humans on that ship.  I think they're in trouble, something is wrong.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
AFCO: Evasive pattern Alpha Centuri!

ACTION: The Arondight is hit.  Shields are weakened.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Big Vessel: Unknown vessel, this is Captain Ashley Lynn Yates of the Federation Starship Arondight. Please respond.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::makes some adjustments on the shields as she is being hit::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::grabs her console as the first few volleys impact the ship::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO: Our shields are weakening.  Return fire?

AFCO_PO_Dancer says:
::Begins evasives::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
*Engineering*: Spanner get me more to work with up here I need the shields reconfigured to absorb some of that plasma weapon fire we are taking.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@FCO: Standby, and lets mimic the Arondight's posturing for the moment.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::scans to see if they are receiving Yates' Comm::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@:: sees the Arondight get hit and tries to maneuver to protect her::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Prepare to launch our fighters - do not fire. This may all be one big miscommunication. After all, what would you think when you see two ships emerge from a temporal rift?

Host Michael says:
 ::In a raspy voice::  COM: Arondight: I don't care who you are, you will be brought to us for... ::Pauses a feast::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::tries to figure out where the ship's weaknesses might be::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~CO:  Captain, that large ship.  I...I'm not sure what's happening there.  Some of the minds I sense.  They're dwindling.~~~

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::grows pale::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir I have moved into a position to protect the Arondight as she has been hit.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Big Ship: Michael: We are here on a mission of peace. We don't wish for any trouble. ::She motions for the CTO to get ready::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::nods agreeing with the CO::  CO: Captain, the launch of the fighters could also be a sign of respect

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@ ::becomes distracted as the Arondight is hit, but turns back to her console and the scans she's trying to make sense out of::

ACTION: The Arondight's shields twindle, as the ship concentrates on her, leaving the Citadel alone.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::begins to reconfigure the shield modifications to absorb some of the plasma bursts::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
~~~CNS: Dwindling how, Ariel?~~~ ::Looks concerned:: CTO: Launch the fighters, Lieutenant.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::grips his console tightly and tries to come to terms with what will be the inevitable outcome::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
Self: This is not working like I want.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::grows even paler as he passes along the order to the flight deck::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir the Arondight is taking heavy damage.

ACTION: The Arondight's fighters launch.  And is quickly engaged by the other fighters

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::rethinks that thought after hearing both the Michael character and the CNS' report::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
Self: Think Rianna think.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::thinks this is suicide::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: I believe a hasty retreat would be the intellectual thing to do at this point.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::starts to pace a little::  ~~~CO: I don't know...I never felt something like this.  They're emotions, their being...some are gradually getting fainter.  I don't like this at all.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She takes a seat in her command chair as the ship shakes:: CTO: Locate their weapon systems and fire. Lets see if we can cause them to take the hint that we won't surrender to their demands.

ACTION: Shields on the Arondight weaken.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::shakes his head, but does as ordered, targeting the ship weapons::

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@::ponders for a moment:: FCO: Backup the Arondight's fighters.  Get us in between the enemy and the Arondight and open fire.  Let 'em rip.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
*Spanner*: Try a poloron burst to augment the shields.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She watches as the AFCO continues with evasives:: CIV: Until they follow us, Glinn? ::She looks toward the CEO:: CEO: How fast can that ship go?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: My dear Captain, I am not going to be killed when I am destined to be Lega....  ::pauses as she gets an idea::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Firing now.  ::fires phasers::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: You really don't want to know.~~~

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She hears the Glinn's words and pauses:: CIV: Glinn... do you think you could act as...?

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::steps forward toward the Captain slightly::  CO: Perhaps I should speak with them?

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: Working on it now sir.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Aye Sir :: moves the Citial in-between the Arondight and the fighters::

ACTION: Phasers cut a beam through the barrage of fighters, and hit the Huge ship.  The ship takes damage.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::nods smiling in answer of the CO's question::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She inclines her head:: CEO: Open the comm back to the enemy vessel.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::fires again::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
CO: I think I'll need use of that.  ::points at the CO's chair::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: Com open captain.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir Shall I tie  in tactical to my console?

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: I've already made my self known as Captain of this vessel, Glinn. However, it may add to the setting. ::She steps aside::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: If I am reading this right she will out run us if we run.~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::watches the viewscreen anxiously as she feels repulsed and afraid of what she is sensing, starts worrying for Cherry back on the Arondight::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::fires photon torpedoes::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
~~~CEO: I was afraid of that.~~~ ::She looks toward the viewscreen as the comm opens:: CIV: All yours, Legate.

ACTION: The barrage of fire weakens the Arondight's shields even more.  The Citadel's attracts the "Hive" ship and it begins attacking her as well.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She nearly falls to the floor:: CTO: Can you detect any weak points on that ship?

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::studies the readouts:: CO:  I don't believe this....

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@FCO: Do it.  Keep your focus on their weapons systems, as much as you can identify.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::slips into the command chair and wraps one leg casually over the other::  COM: Large Vessel:  This is Legate Marat.  Respond.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  There are no....  it's healing itself.  As if it were organic.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@SO: Identify their critical systems.  I want to know what makes that ship tick.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She moves over to the CTO's side:: CTO: Healing? What is it made of?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir we are taking fire now. Shall we engage?

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::looks at the CTO:: Healing itself?

Host Michael says:
       COM: Arondight: Legate?  It doesn't matter who you are you will be part of the feed.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::shakes his head::  CO:  I don't know...  maybe science could...

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
~~~CNS: We are trying something on our end to hopefully stop this fight. Let Scott know that he may be ordered to stop firing at a moment's notice.~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~XO: Scott, as I 'told' Captain Yates, some of the humans...whom they are...they are becoming weaker.  I don't know if I should say that aloud for the rest of the crew.~~~

SO_Ens_Lulu says:
@ ::Holds onto her console as the ship is hit::

ACTION: One by one the Arondight's fighters go out, as they are outnumbered 100 to 1

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
~~~CO: Remember USS Enterprise D ran into a thing called Tin Man, an Organic vessel?  Could this be something on that order?~~~

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~CO:  Yes, Ma'am.  I hope it works.  We do not want to go on that ship!~~~

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::watches the fighters disappear from the screen::

Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: One of the Enemy fighters hits the Arondight's shields and disable the shields totally.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::goes hunting for the....::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: Shields gone.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Shields are down.  ::calmly::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CTO: Concentrate on one shield generator. I want one area of their shields to be brought down. Coordinate with the Citiadel's Tactical Officer. ::She raises an eyebrow:: CTO: Recall the fighters.  AFCO: We're going to fight as we move.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::stands and takes a few steps forward::  COM: Michael: Then I will call on my Alliance ships and you will be no more.  ::motions for the CEO to open a secondary channel::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
*Spanner*: Bet the back ups going now I need the shields.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@FCO: Yes engage, engage full.  I want us to take all their fire.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CIV: Channel open.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  Aye:  ::recalls what's left of the fighters::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::moves over to stand beside Scott and relays Yates' orders quietly:: XO: The Captain said you may be ordered to cease firing so be ready for that order.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Aye Sir :: starts firing at the fighter as well as the large ship::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  She has no shield generators.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::begins to open her mouth as if she was about to call in aide from some unseen vessels::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CO: One step ahead of you, and we have transports all over the ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@CNS: Understood.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
Outloud: Augusfratt!!!

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::opens fire with everything they have::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CEO: I don't care where the power comes from. ::She looks toward the CTO:: CTO: Can we transport something into their ship?

Host Michael says:
COM: Arondight: You can call them if you want, there will be enough food for us to sustain for a while

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  I... don't see why not.  ::runs a simulation::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
::hands go flying over the console again trying to bring the shields up and infuse them with Kelbinite and Fistrium to confuse the transporters of the bigger ship::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::motions for the CEO to cut the channel and turns to the CO::  CO: My dear Captain... obviously they are not part of the Bajoran/Cardassian Alliance and do not fear them.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@::senses the oddity of some her crewmen's minds 'shifting' in intensity and knows from experience that is a transport, but is not sure where::  FCO:  Did we just beam anyone over to our ship?

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir shall we use some of the Quantum torpedoes?

CTO: Load seven of our quantum torpedoes and transport them onto the enemy vessel. Send them wherever you can. ::She nods toward the CIV:: CIV: Unfortunately.

ACTION: The shields on the Arondight slowly flicker on, then off.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
*Spanner*: Bring all fusion reactors to full and give me everything they have into the secondary systems and bring on line the secondary shield generators and lace them with Kelbinite and Fistrium.

EO_Ens_Spanner says:
*CEO*: You read my mind boss.  Already on it.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::hearing the exchange between the CTO and the CO::  CO/CTO: Theoretically, if we time it correctly... we could beam a Quantum Torpedo over when they beam more of our crew out.

ACTION: The Citadel's shields weaken as well as the barrage continues on both ships.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
COM: Citiadel: XO: Commander, we are going to get some distance from us and that ship. ::She nods toward the CIV:: CIV: My thoughts exactly, Glinn. ::She looks toward the CTO:: CTO: Make it so, Lieutenant.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
CO:  We can do it.  Locking on torpedoes now.

ACTION: Before Ki can beam on the torpedoes, the entire senior staff ont he Arondight gets beamed out.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
CTO: I can get your quantum to look like a human life sign.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~CO: Captain!  Did you just do transports?  I felt some of our people...'change'.  As if they were transported.~~~  ::

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Sir shields are weakening :: reroutes more power  to them to help strengthen them::

CTO_Lt_Ki says:

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
Self: This is not Kansas any more.

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::turns to the CO::  CO: Oh wonderful idea... let's go to the future and see the universe.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
@FCO: Slowly back off, but keep us in between them and Arondight.  Keep the weapon fire going until we are out of range.

SCENERY: The Senior staff finds themselves in a hold cell of sorts.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV: Unfortunately, Glinn, it was not my idea. It was an order. ::She taps her Combadge:: *Arondight*: Yates to the Arondight.

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:
Self: Oh nice this has to be a dream.

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@XO: Aye Captain :: starts backing the ship off::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::having just been 'speaking' to Yates she feels the same sensation::  Aloud:  No!  XO: Commander, something is very wrong!  The Captain...others...  ::feels frantic not knowing what is happening to them::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
@~~~CNS: Ariel, we've been captured by that ship. Get the Citiadel and Arondight out of here. Now.~~~

ACTION: A Guard walks in, he is carrying a huge staff, and has a body type armor.  His face is covered by a mask of sorts.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:

EO_Ens_Spanner says:
#COM: USS Citidel, This is USS Adrondight: Ens. Spanner here.  All senior staff have been transported to the Cardassian ship.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::aims at the guard's face::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::decides to try an immobilize the guard by setting her disruptor on a low setting then fires::

Host Michael says:
CO: He cannot answer you.  But I can.

Host XO_Cmdr_Madson says:
~~~CO: Captain, I'm here.  Where are you now?  Ens. Spanner says you have been transported.~~~

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::hears weapon fire beside him::

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~CO:  But Captain...we can't just leave you.  Let us try to retrieve you back...~~~  ::knows it was an order and is reluctant::  ~~~Yes, Ma'am.~~~  XO:  Commander, Captain Yates has been captured and is ordering us to get both our ships away as quickly as possible.~~~

FCO_Ens_Shelaya says:
@:: brings the ship to just out of weapons range:: XO; Sir we are now out of weapons range.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
CIV/CTO: Do NOT fire unless ordered. ::She turns toward the same voice she spoke to on the Arondight:: Michael: Then answer the question.

ACTION: The guard shakes the stun and fires back incapacitating Marat.

CTO_Lt_Ki says:
::eyes widen::

CIV_Glinn_Marat says:
::slumps to the floor in a heap::

ACTION: More guards rush in and stun everyone except the CO.

::is stunned before he can react::

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
::She turns toward the Glinn and shakes her head:: Michael: That was one of my people. You better have an explanation for this! ::She holds her hand steady, knowing her phaser fire would not do a thing::

CEO_Lt_Ri_Rochelle says:

Host Michael says:
CO: Oh but I do have an explanation for this...

@: XO: Sir shields are down.

Host CO_Capt_Yates says:
~~~XO: Go to maximum warp. Don't worry about us. Just go.~~~ ::She stares at the man:: Michael: I'm waiting.

CNS_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
@~~~XO: Scott, the Captain is adamant.  She's ordered us away...far away.  But I don't want to just leave them either.~~~
