Captain Log 10711.04
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
We are holding position just out side the outer sensor range of the station where Admiral Forrest is being held. A communications burst from Agent Jay has informed us that they plan on moving the Admiral in 32 hours so whatever we need to do to rescue him we will have to do soon.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
End Log.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Fables X: The Calm before the Storm>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: sitting on Bridge going over the last detail of his plan::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Walks onto the Bridge, phaser on her hip, PADD in her pocket, and looks for the Captain, walking over to the center seat:: CO: Ensign O'Reiley, reporting as ordered Sir.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Checking his phaser while the runabout is being prepared::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Sir: We have received a COM burst from the Apache. It seems that they are head for the same station that we are and will be there in about 8 hours.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
CEO: Roger Ensign for now take you station here on the bridge.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir. ::Moves over to the Bridge console for Engineering::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Moves into the runabout and starts with  the checklist::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Will the Legolas be joining us also Sir?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief once we implement this plan all I want you and the Fighters to do is to do a hit and run tactic on those ships out there.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
CEO: I am not sure Chief
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Yes Sir, keep them busy, and try not to get blown up. Got it. ::winks::

Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: walks over to the Replicator and get himself a cup of Coffee:: CEO: Can I get you any thing while I am up?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: I wouldn't mind a cappuccino Sir, it's been a long couple of days.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Checks power reserves and the runabout engines:: self: Might be better to launch two and control the second one remotely
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Sensors indicate two ships leaving the station.  Heading in another directions
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: orders the Cappuccino:: CEO: I can understand that I spent many hours in engineering when I was CEO of Arcadia. :: hands the CEO the Cappuccino::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Sir it seems that 2 of the ships are leaving the station.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Thank you, Sir. ::sips:: The ship is as ready as we can make her. I planned on the fighters deploying by squadron, and going out loaded with photons under the wings. This way they can salvo fire them and stay out of phaser range. That's about the best we can hope for, Sir. Did you have a rally point in mind for meeting up at after the raid?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief see if you can scan those ships and to see if the Admiral might be on them?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: I'll do my best Sir.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Sets LRS to maximum power and most refined focus and scans for the Admiral's life signs::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: waiting with 30 something security people:: *CO*: Exeter here, we are ready and waiting.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: As far as I can tell, he's not on the two departing ships Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
CEO: Still working on that but would think that somewhere near our current location now.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Scans the surrounding area with LRS for an asteroid field or nebula cloud::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*FCO* Roger Cmdr I will be there in a little while.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::gets out a padd  and starts reading his book 'your captain is not a good shiled by J. Frakes"::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: I'll keep looking for an asteroid field or nebula as we get closer, Captain. If I find one I'll send you rendezvous coordinates.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: Aye, aye sir
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::continues reading his book:: Self: I wonder why he wrote this?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Looks over the ship's systems and checks everything for readiness::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: checks his phaser again the deciding he could use a rifle::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Send a COM to the Apache letting them know what are plan is and that we will welcome any help that they can give when they get here.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Roger Sir :: sends message::
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CO*: Exeter here, if your on you way down, sir, could you take a rifle with you for me, sir?

CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Might want to give a call to the Legolas as well, Sir. I'll take all the help I can get.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
CEO: Chief you have the bridge :: gets up and heads for the TL::  Good ideal. :: nods to NoDuz::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*FCO* : Roger and I am on my way down now.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir, I have the Bridge. ::moves to the center seat::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Duty_FCO: How long until we arrive on station with the planned course and speed?
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: enters TL:: TL : Shuttle bay 1
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
:: arrives in shuttle bay 1 and looks around:: FCO: Cmdr I thought we were only going to rescue the Admiral not invade the station?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Opens the display on the armrest and checks the data there::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Message from the Legolas, they will not be able to make it on time  They will be arriving after the fact.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: looks at the captain::  CO: Well, I have one team for that and another team for taking over the station and have a little duck shooting
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CEO: Ensign it seems that the Legolas won't be able to make it in time to help.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
NoDuz: Tell them to step on it if they can, we will surely need some help when we disengage, they are likely to chase us.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: I don't plan on taking over the station Cmdr just getting the Admiral and getting out. So we don't need all these personal. Just one team of 10 at the most.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks around:: CO: Aye, sir ::sends the other team on it's way::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CEO: Aye Ma'am also I have gotten a Com from the Apache as well. It seem that they will be here maybe just a little late but hopefully in time to help.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Captain, both Legolas and Apache are out of range... I'm afraid we'll have to do this on our own. I've told them to get here as fast as they can in order to help if we get chased after the recovery.
Host SM_Sam says:
<Security dude>::Looks at the FCO and shrugs, then heads out of the runabout::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: When you are ready we can leave.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: is it wise to let the CEO have the bridge, sir?
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::prepares the runabout for take off, then orders the shuttle bay cleared and that shuttle bay doors opened:: CO: Ready to launch, sir
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: I believe she can handle what is needed at the moment and besides she knows how to fix the ship if she damages it. :: smiles::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Roger then let get this show on the road.

FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Powers the engines and sets the runabout to leave the shuttle bay, then plots in a course for the Starbase::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
*CEO* Roger Chief do what you can we are on our way out now.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The runabout glides out of the shuttle bay and into the open space ahead of them.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Aye Sir.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
FCO: Lets just stay a little behind the Arondight and fighters till they have started their attack run.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Duty_FCO: Set course for the station, warp 8. Have the fighters and remaining runabouts ready to launch once we drop out of warp. Give them orders to harass and use torpedoes from maximum range once we engage.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::his hands glide over the console:: CO; Aye, sir
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Duty_FCO: Engage.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@:: sits in the runabout and offers a prayer to his forefather for any help that they can give::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight boots it into warp while the runabout sits and waits
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@:: raises and eyebrow to the captain:: CO: I'm not that bad a s a pilot, sir
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@ FCO: I don't doubt that Cmdr but we can use all the help on this we can get.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Duty_Tac: Lead off with whatever quantum torpedoes we have left and then switch to photons. Do what you can to disable as many ships as you can so they can't follow us to warp once we disengage.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The ships watching over the station is alerted of the Arondight's approach.  They power up their weapons and head out to meet the Arondight.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: 5 ships are on approach.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Captain, looks like they sent out a welcoming party to meet us, 5 ships on an intercept course.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@:: checks the sensor reading:: FCO: Well  Cmdr it looks like they got their attention. Lets head out.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::locks on to previous heading and kicks the runabout in to warp:: CO; Aye, sir
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@*CEO*: Roger Chief you have you orders and I want that ship back in one piece understand.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Runabout sputters as it hits warp 4.7.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: I'll do my best, Captain. After all, it's motivated self-interest, I don't want to fix more than I need too.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@FCO: You need to watch those fuel ratios a little closer.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::mutters about having to retune every engine aboard the Arondight when this is over::

CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
NoDuz: See what you can do to switch off all non-essential systems, put as much power as you can into the shields.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Duty_Tac: Battle stations, get ready for a fight.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CEO: Roger Chief working on it now.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@CO: when this is over I'll have to retune every engine, just send the CEO on leave
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@FCO: Any chance of finding a chink in the stations armor for us to get in?
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
NoDuz: Contact Captain Hung on Legolas and see if we can get some prefix codes for the enemy vessels for you and the Tactical folks to have fun with, would you?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The lead ship opens fire on the Arondight
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@CO: I'm flying this thing, your sitting in front of the tactical post ,sir
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CEO: Roger ma'am doing so now. :: contacts the Legolas::
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Duty_FCO: Drop to impulse, start evasive maneuvers, and launch fighters and runabouts. Duty_Tac:  Return fire, fire at will.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@FCO: I know but a second set of eyes are just as helpful.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Shields flicker as the ship returns fire.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
<FCO-Reynolds> CEO: Aye, dropping to impulse now ,sir and alerting fighters and runabout pilots
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
*CO*: Captain, we have engaged the enemy. Good luck, Sir.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Legolas sends a message the prefix codes.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@::sighs and slaves science and sensors to check on the station::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CEO: Chief we have the codes sending them to you now.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
NoDuz: Get those codes to Tactical, our fighters and runabouts, and the Captain as well.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@CO: Working on it, if this was a paid job I would demand a raise, sir
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Torpedoes impact the attacking ships their shields flicker a bit.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Phaser hit the Arondight's shields and weaken it.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
Duty_Tac: Use the quantum’s and pour it on, let's do what damage we can while we can.
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> :: sends the codes to everyone else as well::
Host CO_Cmdr_McDuggle says:
@FCO: I think I may have found a chink. It looks like they are repairing the station at this point.
FCO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
@CO: We received some prefix codes from the Arondight, sir, Checking for the stations shields, now, sir!
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Checks her armrest display and gives targets to the Tactical station::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The prefix codes are sent to the attacking ships, and their shields go down as the quantum torpedoes impact the ship.
CEO_Ens_OReiley says:
::Gives targets to the fighters and runabouts as well::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The fighters move in on the lead ship and hit the main engineering section of the lead ship.  Causing cascading explosions.
