USS CHARLOTTETOWN MISSION TRANSCRIPT – 10605.05

Host Bob_FM says:
Prologue: The USS Charlottetown has been tasked with pursuing a small shuttle which illegally departed from SB-245 after the attempted assassination of Admiral Monroe. The Executive Officer of the USS Scorpius interrupted the attempt with his own body, which disintegrated into ashes
Host Bob_FM says:
The Charlottetown initially lost ground to the shuttle, which was obviously modified for speed, but is now maintaining a constant distance from it.
Host Bob_FM says:
And so the race to capture or avoid being captured begins......

CO_Shras says:
*CEO*: Chief, we need more speed, and we need it now
CMO_Kimura says:
::sitting at the helm, having gotten permission to pilot the ship tonight::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::accesses the information from the bridge and glances over it:: *CO*: We're pushing the limits now, but they're working on it. You should see the results in...::glances back over her shoulder:: 45 seconds.
CMO_Kimura says:
::smiles:: CO: Maybe this ship has some speed, Captain.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: That shuttle is definitely modified, I even wonder if there is something else than engines in it and no room for anyone in order to get the speed it going at
CMO_Kimura says:
::accelerates the ship and smiles::
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: You know, the Charlottetown is pretty new. We even have a Cetacean lab! ::laughs::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::gets the nod from one of the crew:: *CO*: You should be seeing what increase we can give now.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: I have no idea what to do with a Cetacean lab, but it’s still neat to have.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Looks like we're catching up to them.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::maintains the proper mix ratio to make sure that the engines remain stable::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::looks over the information from the bridge::
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Distance to the runaway shuttle?
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Are we gaining on it?
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: We are gaining on it and we're still in sensor range, but not close enough to take a shot.
CEO_Turnbull says:
All: Ok, crew let's nurse some more out of this thing.
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE CHARLOTTETOWN MANAGES TO KEEP THE ESCAPING SHUTTLE WITHIN SENSOR RANGE, BUT FOR THE MOMENT, DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER NEEDED TO CLOSE THE GAP
CEO_Turnbull says:
All: And we've got to keep it cool.
CMO_Kimura says:
*CEO*: A little more would do just fine, Commander.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: If they follow their current course, where will it take us? Look at the systems along the way and tell me if there is something suspect there...
CEO_Turnbull says:
*CMO*: You've got all we can give; we're just working to hold it together.
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE TWO VESSELS ARE TRAVERSING THE ALPHA QUADRANT, HEADED TOWARDS ROMULAN SPACE - EVENTUALLY
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: They're heading towards... Romulan space.
CMO_Kimura says:
::frowns:: *CEO*: Thanks.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: How long before we get there?
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: We're as fast as we can go, sir. In a few days, we'll be running into the Neutral Zone.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::monitors the mix:: All: Keep it steady.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Pretty soon.
CMO_Kimura says:
::is still wondering what the Cetacean lab is for...::
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: We won't hit the Neutral Zone for a while Captain. The shuttle's course is dead-on that way though.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: Ok, I prefer this
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: We're going straight through Federation territory though, I'm sure we can call someone to intercept them.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::watches the steady pulsing of the warp core, somewhat mesmerized as always::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::shakes her head to clear her thoughts and focuses her attention on monitoring the ship's systems and the readouts from the bridge::
CMO_Kimura says:
*CEO*: Holding up?
CO_Shras says:
CMO: That is a great idea; see if a ship is into intercept range
CEO_Turnbull says:
::nods, then realizes what she's doing:: *CMO*: Steady as she goes.
CMO_Kimura says:
::sends out a message to all ships in the area::
