Captain's Log 10811.23
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Well we are again about to enter into battle with the Furies. While I tried to end this matter diplomatically the Furies just don't seem to want try and talk things out. So it seems that the only way we will end this threat to our universe is through violence which is too bad as these Furies could have been good allies.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
End Log.
Host SM_Sam says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< The Furies VI >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Still working on one of the shield generators, trying to get everything ready for the upcoming battle::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: sitting in the center chair and can feel the tension in the crew as they prepare to engage the Furies::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: At the auxiliary station, waiting for answers that may or may not add to answering what is going on here.::
CMO_Redwood says:
::in Sickbay::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Any good news yet?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Nothing yet, sir.
SO_Wilbur says:
XO: Analyzing...  Checking current flight path to the old star maps.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A dozen torpedoes are launched from the Furies's ship towards the fleet.  The Fleet returns fire but does not affect them as much.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Working as quickly as she safely can to replace damaged relays and circuit boards to get the generator working again::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
All: Incoming brace yourselves.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Holds on as the maneuvers start, grumbling about working in combat... again::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: Try hailing them again.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Evasive actions.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: 2 of the torpedoes hit the Arondight, causing her to rock a bit, the rest of them hit the other ships, and is damaged
CMO_Redwood says:
::moves quickly to another patient and starts scanning them with the medical tricorder::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: shakes her head... from the looks of this, brute force is not the answer as the brute is on their side.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Open fire and have the fighter launch.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO:  We are literally outgunned.  What if, we made a whole big enough to beam through and nab one of their people for interrogation?
CMO_Redwood says:
MO: This one needs immediate surgery!
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: How do you figure that will help?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Aye Sir... launching fighters and engaging. ::Sends the launch order and opens up with full phasers and a full spread of torpedoes::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: looks up from the minor injury he was working on.  Too early... passes through his thoughts.::  CMO: You want me to take him?
SO_Wilbur says:
XO: I got it Commander.  You were right there is a direct correlation to the path to Earth from here and Advanced Civilizations past and present...  Putting it on the Star map now.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods toward the screen::  CO:  They outgun us.  They are angry, but we have no idea about what.  For that matter, their earlier message has left us confused.  It is a waste of lives to try to take them on as is.  We need something more.  And some answers are a good place.  If nothing else, maybe we could learn their weaknesses.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Fighters are launched.  Multiple hits on the Furies ship make no impact on the ship.
SO_Wilbur says:
CO/XO: I might have an idea on how to get one...
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Sounds like a good plan inform the fleet of it and have them ready to retreat once we have one of them.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: looks toward Wilbur::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: I am willing to hear it.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Contacts the fleet to pull back out of range, quickly outlining the basic idea at the moment.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Fighters are away Captain. multiple hits with phaser and torpedoes, so far no noticeable effect. Continuing to engage. ::Keeps firing, coordinating with the other ships to make the most effective attacks::
CMO_Redwood says:
MO: I'll do it, but that means you are in charge here.
SO_Wilbur says:
CO/XO: If we were to imbed a Transporter Enhancer in the second layer of the armor, we might be able to boost power to the transporter beam to get a steady lock.

Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Roger tell them to just do hit and runs at the moment.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Aye Sir, they were told to harass and evade when they launched, and to stand by for torpedo runs on order.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: And how do you suggest we get the enhancer there can we transport it?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Finishes working on the generator and closes everything up, then tests it, and finally brings it online. Having finished, she moves on to her next task::
SO_Wilbur says:
CO/XO: Hm... A modified phaser beam might be able to cut through.
SO_Wilbur says:
CO/XO: And then we can transport it in...
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
SO: Give the TO the specifications and lets give it a try.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: nods::
SO_Wilbur says:
::Checks a few numbers:: TO: If you modulate the amplitude to fit this profile that should do it.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Work with NoDuz on the transporting. once you have a lock on one of the Furies beam him straight to the brig.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: The fleet is complying.  They are pulling back.  Those most damaged will be aft as they quickly work on repairs.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> ::modifies the phasers to the narrowest possible beam and sets the amplitude as requested and starts firing concentrated burst with all the arrays he can bring on target::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
*CEO*: Chief I am going to need you to be sure that you have good working force fields in the brig as we plan on transporting one of the Furies aboard.
CMO_Redwood says:
::takes the patient into surgery::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Informs security to prepare for interrogation.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Does a quick diagnostic on a nearby panel and checks the Brig force emitters::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*CO*: Diagnostics say everything in the Brig is at full ready Captain.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: pauses and also reminds them of what they look like and what they will be up against.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Roger make sure that once we have the Fury aboard we will be leaving and they are to follow.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps down to the Ferengi::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A Purplish beam is fired from the phaser array hitting the shield of the Furies ship, and penetrating it. It cuts into the Hull and stops halfway to through the first and second hull.  The phaser array stops as the relays to the array burn out.  Consoles in the phaser array control room spark.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> *XO*: Brig cell one is prepared and I have a full Security team standing by.

XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: steps back over, leaving the beaming to OPS as she quickly tags on the additional instructions to the fleet.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Curses as the damage control lights up in the phasers and starts to that area to begin repairs::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> :: Transports the enhancer into the ships hull and has it activate once it arrives::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: We cut through Captain, but we burned the phasers out doing it.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: As a few people come in, plays director then assists a burned officer.::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: More injuries arrive into sickbay.
CMO_Redwood says:
::gets to work, putting aside the gruesomeness of the situation::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The transporter enhancers go online.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Roger keep the torpedoes ready and inform the CEO although she probably already knows.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Looks up as more enter and turns his patient over to the nurse to begin triage::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Attempting to lock on to a Fury now ma'am
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Aye Sir, damage control reports Engineers are enroot to fix the phasers. Torpedoes are loaded and ready.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Transporters lock onto a Furies
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
NoDuz:  All we need is one, but two could not hurt... we will take whatever you can give us.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Have the fighter make a last run and then return to the ship.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Aye Sir, sending orders to disengage. ::Orders the fighters back to the ship::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO; I have a lock now transporting to the brig and will try to get a lock on another one.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
NoDuz:  Keep them separate.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Captain, heading down to the brig now.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: Aye Ma'am
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: A Furies is beamed onto the Arondight.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Hold on for one moment till we get out of the area.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Moves toward the lift and pauses.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Starts working on the burned out phasers, grumbling under her breath, putting on a respirator due to the acrid smoke in the area::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> XO: I have one in the brig Ma'am.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: moves back toward auxiliary::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: Another torpedo hits the Arondight.  It rocks the bridge as Exeter is thrown to the console.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods toward NoDuz::  *Security*: Status of your new guest?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> *XO*: Cell one is occupied Sir, and the force fields are in place. Security team is standing by in visual range.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: quickly has them prioritize and glad that most are relatively minor.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: hears NoDuz:: XO: Have the fleet disengage and head for the rendezvous point.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: starts to contact the CMO and stops::
CMO_Redwood says:
::walks out of surgery, dumping his blood covered covers and moving back to the MO:: MO: Didn't make it. Who's next?
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Captive Furies starts banging on the force field wall.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Once the Fighters are aboard get us out of here.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: Flight deck signals all the fighters have recovered aboard Captain.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Sends the order out to the fleet, hoping it will be awhile before the Furies realize what had happened... unless they nabbed one of their command officers.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Aye fire one more spread of torpedoes  while we retreat.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> ::fires a full spread from all the torpedo launchers:: CO: Torpedoes away Sir.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Notes a medical officer removing the CTO from the bridge and is tempted to curse under her breath.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
FCO: Engage maximum warp.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> ::Checks the force field to make sure it is holding up, and has the Security team take up defensive positions behind cover just in case::
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Arondight warps out followed by the rest of the fleet
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Sends a team down to the secondary medical set up along with those who need the least amount of attention.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO : Are the Furies following?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Continues working on the phasers while she has the rest of her people start working on what damaged systems have priority::
MO_Jeddi says:
:: Looks up and sighs... but then is tempted to smile::  CMO:  I hear the CTO is coming to visit you.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: It doesn't look like they are in pursuit at this time Captain.

CMO_Redwood says:
MO: Exeter? Again? He can't seem to stay out of here. What happened?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
TO: Roger
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO: Thrown during the battle.  He is currently unconscious.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Shall we have a little talk with our guest?
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Gunn> CO: I'll keep an eye on them Sir, I'll let you know if anything changes.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: I am very curious for some answers... and those dolls.  Let us not forget them.
CMO_Redwood says:
MO: Well, we'll priorities him as everyone else when he gets here. ::moves to a patient and starts treatment immediately with something for the pain::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I also am interest in those doll and what they may be able to tell us.
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO: All minor wounds were sent to secondary.
CMO_Redwood says:
MO: Thank you.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
NoDuz: You have the Bridge. :: heads for the TL with the XO::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Request a damage report.::
MO_Jeddi says:
CMO: Ships engines have shifted... we have gone to warp.  I don't suppose we could be lucky enough and all is over with.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Follows::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
<NoDuz> CO: Aye Captain. :: moves to the center seat::
CMO_Redwood says:
MO: That'd be the day... Damn it! ::grabs some equipment as the patient goes into cardiac arrest::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*Medical*:  You have been given a break.  We have pulled back for a moment.  If you can spare one of your people, join us in the brig.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: enters the TL and waits for the XO to enter also::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*XO*: Shields are down to 50%, and the phasers are burned out. If nothing else goes wrong I can have everything battle-ready in about 4 hours. We'll start on the minor stuff after that if we have time.
CMO_Redwood says:
*XO*: Aye... ::looks around and sees everyone busy:: MO: I'll go. You have Sickbay again but update me as soon as this mess is sorted out. I'll be back to help as soon as I can. ::leaves quickly with a med-kit::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Goes back to working on the phasers::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
*CEO*:  Acknowledged.  Obviously, we have no idea how much time you will have before the next engagement.  Maybe they will be nice and let us have some rest.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
*XO*: I wouldn't hold my breath Commander. I have everyone not manning a console on repairs. I'll keep you updated.
MO_Jeddi says:
:: nods toward the retreating back and continues the patient the CMO was working on.::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: steps off the lift and walks next to the captain toward the brig::  CO: This should be... interesting.
CMO_Redwood says:
::enters the brig, catching his breath:: CO: Captain.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: That or we are just beating a dead horse.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: That was fast.
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<TO_Cuffs> CO: The beastie was bashing against the force field earlier Sir, but the containment field is holding nicely. Nothing else to report.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: We need another plan of action then what we had... What is that human term?  A whooping... no... :: frowns::  a whipping is not what I desire.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
CMO: Doc you seem to be a little out of shape. Maybe I will have to institute some physical training on the ship? :: grins::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: We have an unwanted guest.
CMO_Redwood says:
::manages a grin back at the CO, feeling a little uncomfortable:: CO: Right after we do your next physical Sir... then we can see if you need to be in the class too. ::smiles::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods at security as they step aside as they enter.  Then glances at Oday with a smile at the captain’s comment.::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Holds up her hands in mock surrender::  CMO/CO: I leave that to the two of you.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: chuckles:: CMO: We will see how thing turn out then.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Steps further into the room and looks through the force field at the Fury.  She could not help her eyes widening.  Prepared or not... ::
CMO_Redwood says:
::Looks to the XO:: XO: So, ::pauses and pushes through it - business was business:: Who is our guest?
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: I wonder if there is any way we can tap into those dolls with the computer?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Swallows the hard knot that formed in her throat and whispers::  CMO: The guy in front of you which I hope never to meet in a dark ally...or dream... or anything else for that matter.  Shakes her head.::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
<:: Shakes her...>
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
<Security> ::Maintains defensive positions behind cover, watching the occupied brig cell closely::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: walks up to the cell:: Furies: Ok big fellow do you feel like talking?
CMO_Redwood says:
::desperately wants to put an arm on her shoulder to calm her, but keeps professional, and fights way the uncertainty of the emotional situation:: XO: He is injured?
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CO: Umm.. I can scan them while you begin your conversation.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
XO: Do so.
Host SM_Sam says:
ACTION: The Furies does not respond and walks to the end of the brig and sits down.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: I don't think so.  But I needed medical for the simple fact, the more information we know, the better chance we might have.  We were not getting anywhere as things stood.  :: walks over to the security console.::
CEO_LtJG_OReiley says:
::Continues working on the phaser arrays::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: She was also trying not to usurp medical's part in things.  As the security officer stepped slightly to the side, she activated sensors within the cell.::
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
Furies: Look friend if we can talk maybe we can settle this matter with out us having to blow your ship out of our galaxy.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: Focuses on the 'doll's' he wears about himself.::
CMO_Redwood says:
XO: I'd like to scan that... doll.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: nods::
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
:: quietly::  CMO: Look at this... :: motions to the screen as she speaks quietly::  Large skeletal structure, no surprise there.  Large brain as well, but the part of the brain were memory is processed and stored... it is... missing.
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO:  There is no hippocampus.
Host CO_Capt_McDuggle says:
:: waits to see if the Furies is going to respond::
CMO_Redwood says:
::looks surprised:: XO: How is that possible...? Maybe they keep it in the doll...
CMO_Redwood says:
::realizes how unscientific that sounded:: XO: You know what I mean...
XO_LtCmd_Mea`e says:
CMO: As you know, the hippocampus is more of a sorting and strengthening area for memory, memory being far more complex.  But if they do not have that...  :: frowns:: they must have something else.
