Captain's log 10808.10
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
We are about to make a final push on the Cardassians to end this war. The Admiral and Starfleet have come up with a plan that they hope will work. We are to be in the second wave of the attack with six ship under my command. Lets hope this works and we end this whole mess.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
End Log.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Internal Affairs XII: The March >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CMO_Redwood says:
::in Sickbay, preparing for possible incoming wounded::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Sits down at the Helm and familiarizes herself with the control layout::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sitting in Center seat as the ship's crew prepare:: All:  Report.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The fleets fall into formation as the order to advance is issued.
CMO_Redwood says:

XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Entering the bridge, she walks over toward the captain.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Helm answers as ready Captain, engines at 100%, all speeds available to maximum warp. Standing by for course and speed.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::behind his station looking  at his console::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sees the order to move out:: CEO: Roger set course and prepare to take us to warp.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: All departments report ready... :: glances over at the CTO and back at the captain.::  Most...
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Sets course that she gets from the command ship into the Helm and prepares to move out::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Course set Sir, what speed?
CMO_Redwood says:
::hands back one PADD and gets another::
CMO_Redwood says:
::taps his com badge:: *CO*: Sick bay reports ready, Sir.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the view screen and hums::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Horatio warps out as the rest of the ships follow behind
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Stands behind the captains chair, uncomfortable with this upcoming battle.  On one hand, she understood the whys of the Federation actions, but on the other, she felt they were still very short on information.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Warp 5. We will be moving out in 20 minutes according to the Admirals order.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Captain, course is set at 277 mark 30, ready to engage at warp 5 on your order.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Cmdr inform the rest of the ship that are assigned to us that we will be moving out in 20 minutes.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::checks shields and phaser coils and then checks torpedoes and fighter readiness::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Word from the First Wave is clear as no real opposition is encountered.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: Opens a comm. and relays captain's orders:: CO: Done, sir.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Does a diagnostic on the engines and systems one more time just to make sure::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CMO*: Roger let hope that you don't get to busy.
CMO_Redwood says:
::goes to his office to do some more work just so the waiting doesn't get too tense:: *CO*: Agreed. Redwood out.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::checks sensors:: CO: First wave went in no real opposition encountered, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger have you gotten any information on our targets yet?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: lightly taps her fingers against her leg.::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: No, sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Ok lets get this ship moving chief engage and inform the rest that we are heading out now.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Maybe we will get lucky and the first wave will have take care of everything.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir. Engaging at 227 mark 30, warp 5. ::engages the course and speed and calls the other ships in the task force to have them follow::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The rest of the ships under the Arondight's command warp behind her in close formation
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Cmdr work with Science and tactical to make sure that nothing sneaks up on us.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: We are heading for Cardassia Prime.  We will take on any ships that slip by the first wave.  And then?
CMO_Redwood says:
::sits in his office, working on his computer::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods as she steps back to stand between science and tactical.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: And then God willing we will meet the Admiral on Cardassia.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Don't count on it, sir.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I cannot seem to wrap my mind around the idea of us basically conquering them... or them allowing it without giving all they have.  And then what we have seems relatively... small.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Monitors the warp field geometry and gravimetric of the area as they fly::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: I did say God willing Cmdr.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: LRS pick up several ships approaching towards the Arondight.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I got in coming ships on Long range sensors, sir.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks over at science and nods as that information is verified.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Can you tell who they are?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Well, I think wise move would be to start talking with that god fellow, sir, because these ain't friendly
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Roger take us to red alert and inform the fleet.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::opens comm. informs wing and  sets  ship to red alert:: CO: Done
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Contact the Admiral and inform him of our situation.
CMO_Redwood says:
::gets up to get a drink, but as he does he sees the klaxons go off, and heads back into main Sickbay instead::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Drop to impulse and prepare to engage Sir?
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::tries to get an idea on how big the Cardassians heading for them are.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> : CO : Aye sir. :: Contacts the Admiral::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Roger Chief.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir, going to impulse, commencing evasive maneuvers. ::does so::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: reading over the incoming telemetry.::  CO: 4 Galor class ships.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: roger.
CMO_Redwood says:
::readies the nurses, but they are way ahead of him, all in position::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Suggest we keep going and leave two ships handling those, sir.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Don't deploy the fights yet.

CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Not necessary, we on our own can handle 4 Galor class
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: You think that 2 will be enough?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Would it be wise to split our small group so soon?   We are stronger in numbers.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Their Galor class underpowered and too big. One defiant class can cause havoc
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: What I plan is at least the whole fleet making a first pass at them  then go from there.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
All: I say we bust them up as a group and then move on Sir. We can't afford to take any real damage this early.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: I would say let them be, their a waste of time and resource. Keep going for Cardassia
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight's fleet zip passed the 4 Galors.  The Galors turn around the follow the Arondight
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CTO: Then you have them behind us.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods as science passes along data.::  CO: As now...
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: We already have, we just passed them and their following us now.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Orders Sir?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Have all ships target weapons and engines for now it isn't worth the time to try and destroy them just take them out of the fight. Engage when ready.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CTO: I would rather have the enemy in front of me then behind.
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO: Suggest we order the rear of our fleet to fire some aft torpedoes, sir
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CTO: Have them do so now
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
:: orders the fleet to drop to impulse and target the Cardassians::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CO; Done, sir
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
XO: If it where the Romulans I would be worried, but Cardassian ships have always been outclassed by Starfleet, Klingons and Romulan ships
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: waits to see the results of the weapons fire::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight and her fleet drop out of warp and begin firing on the Galors.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: realizes her fingers are restlessly tapping her leg and stops, forcing herself to still... concerned the crew was over confident in this and hoping they were correct to be.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Holds course and impulse speed::
CTO-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::fires a full spread of torpedoes at thee lead ship targeting weapons and engines
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The torpedoes hit their mark as plasma spews from the Galors they are rendered useless.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: looks down at the science panel and reads the incoming telemetry::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Once these ship are out of the fight have the fleet continue to Cardassia.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: All 4 ships appear to be out.
CMO_Redwood says:
::hopes the sickbay doors will stay shut, but is pretty sure they won't::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Roger
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Lets go to Cardassia.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir. Resuming previous course and engaging at warp 5. ::contacts the other ships to make sure they are ready and then orders the jump all together::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<move last after CO>
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Word from the Horatio is there is heavy resistance where they are.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Damage report.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: All stations report they are clear and ready.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain The Horatio is encountering heave resistance. Sending the coordinates to helm now.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Coordinates received.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Aye looks like the first wave is now encountering heave resistance .
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: LRS show only the fleet ahead.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Roger change the course to match and inform the fleet.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: That is not surprising.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir... changing course... do you want us to increase speed as well?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: More that likely expected as they approach Cardassia.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: According to LRS, there are at least twice the number of Cardassian ships as there are Federation.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CO: Aye take us to max warp.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Nothing is more dangerous then an animal cornered and protecting their own... except a mother protecting her children.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: And in this case we basically have both.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Aye Sir, changing course to 297 mark 50, increasing to maximum warp, signaling the fleet to follow. ::does so::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I do not like this... it feels... wrong.

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: That is may but we do have a duty to the fleet in this matter and if they need help then we are duty bound to help.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Orders come in to Flank the Cardassians by changing course
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Oh, that is not what bothers me.  It is the actions we are taking.  :: sighs::  But it is too late now.  What is that human tradition with the fingers?  I think I would like to do that.  :: gives a slight smile.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain we have new orders sending course change to helm now.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Roger.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CEO: Engage the new course and inform the fleet when you get them.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
CO: Course change received. Altering course to flank the enemy. Maintaining maximum warp. Estimated time to intercept 5 minutes Sir. Advising task force of new orders. ::sends the new course and orders::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: reaches down and taps in the new coordinates to locate them on the map of this system.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Found out where we will be coming out at yet?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: We are being directed to the right side of the battle... it appears to be the weakest area at the moment.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Horatio hails the Arondight
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: The Admiral probably figures that we can create some confusion in that area to help.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Captain we are being hailed by the Horatio.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CMO*: We are heading into the melee.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: On Screen.
Host SM_Sam says:
<Winters> @COM: Arondight: I want you to see if you punch through the line so we can all get through.
CMO_Redwood says:
*XO*: Understood. Standing by. Good luck up there.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: sighs...  from second wave to spear head.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Horatio: Roger Admiral we will do our best  we should be there in about 2 minutes.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Mumbles under her breath:: Self: This is gonna sting a bit.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Reaches over to tap a few keys that places a map of the area and ships off to the side of the screen for people to see the current situation.::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
All: We are looking at ten ships.  They are primarily scout and Galor class ships.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: The second we drop out of warp deploy all the fighters
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*Fighters*: Prepare for launch....
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: They still can cause enough trouble. Make sure all of  the other ship have this information.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Nods to NoDuz to pass the information on.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Prepares to drop out of warp and begin evasive maneuvers once the task force engages::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
COM: Horatio: Admiral here to our success I hope to see you soon on Cardassia. McDuggle out.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> :: nods back to the XO and send out the information::
