Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: WHEN WE LAST LEFT THE USS CHARLOTTETOWN, IT WAS IN PURSUIT OF A FLEEING SHUTTLE AFTER THE ATTEMPTED ASSASINATION OF ADMIRAL MONROE OF STARBASE 245
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: STARFLEET HAS SINCE SENT OUT A FLEETWIDE COMMUNIQUE THAT FOR REASONS YET TO BE DETERMINED, SB-245 HAS EXPLODED. FURTHER DETAILS ON SURVIVORS HAS NOT YET BEEN MADE AVAILABLE
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE FLEEING SHUTTLE IS SOMEHOW MANAGING TO STAY JUST OUT OF RANGE OF THE PURSUING STARSHIP
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: A CALL HAS GONE OUT FOR ASSISTANCE FROM ANY AVAILABLE STARSHIPS

CTO_Quinnis says:
::turns his head to see her::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::rubs her temples, wishing S'Toran was here::
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Great commander, we need you to follow that shuttle wherever it goes... if you have any idea on how to make it slow or moving faster please tell us
CTO_Quinnis says:
CMO: Guess you need to find something else to do Doc.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Smiles and nods :: CO: Aye Captain. I'll see what I can do.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: heads for the flight console and relieves the officer there ::
CO_Shras says:
:: look at the new message that came in from Starfleet Command ::
CMO_Kimura says:
::shoots Quinnis a nasty look:: CTO: I'm glad you put it so bluntly.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::is thrown off by the Doc's look::
CMO_Kimura says:
FCO: We're on course and I sent out a distress signal to all available ships as well.
CMO_Kimura says:
FCO: As you can see, the shuttle is making for the Romulan Neutral Zone.
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: SENSORS FINALLY REVEAL A SLIGHT DISRUPTION OF THE SHUTTLE'S MAIN POWER
CEO_Turnbull says:
::pushes the thought away and concentrates on keeping the engines in one piece with the continuous pursuit::
CO_Shras says:
*CEO*: Chief, we really need to get that shuttle, any thoughts on that?
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Captain, I have the shuttle on long range sensors.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CMO: Thank you for the update doctor.
CMO_Kimura says:
FCO: No problem. ::smiles at the new officer::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Whispers :: CMO: I see that the operations officer missed his duty.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::hands fly over console to keep the shuttle in sensor range::
CEO_Turnbull says:
*CO*: Only if we can get into weapons range… We're doing all we can down here.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: takes her seat and brings up the sector chart ::
CMO_Kimura says:
::whispers back:: FCO: He's sick as well... ::there’s more to the story than that but no need to gossip while on duty::
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: A STARFLEET SHIP APPEARS ON LONG RANGE SENSORS AND COMES WITHIN COMMUNICATIONS RANGE
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Any way we can hit them with phasers or a torpedo to disable their engines?
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Sir, the USS Hawk has just come into range.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CMO: If the Captain has no objections, could you handle operations for now?
CMO_Kimura says:
::turns to the CO:: CO: Thank you, Captain for letting me pilot, but if you have no other use for me, I'll be going back to Sickbay...
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::watching as her FCO brings her closer::
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: No sir. They're out of weapons range.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::tries to boost the gain to nurse a bit more speed from the engines::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Call them
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, viewer on?
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: Federation Starship: This is the USS Hawk Captain L'Korth are you in need of assistance?
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Aye sir. Hailing the Hawk. 
CTO_Quinnis says:
COM: Hawk: Starship Hawk, this is the Charlottetown, come in please.
CO_Shras says:
COM: CO: Captain L'Korth, I'm Captain Shras of the USS Charlottetown, the shuttle we are pursuing is wanted for interrogation of it's occupants in the affair of an attack on commanding officers of Starbase 245, can you assist in it's capture?
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: USS Charlottetown: CO Shras: This is Captain L'Korth.. I would be happy to assist you.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::adjusts the anti-matter mix to induce a better balance::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@CTO: Get a tactical scan of that shuttle.
CMO_Kimura says:
::decides to sit in the CNS chair, how empty it feels to her...::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@FCO: Change heading and pursue that shuttle warp 8.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: moves her fingers over the console checking the position of the fleeing shuttle ::
CTO_Quinnis says:
::continues to scan the shuttle::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::the Hawks CTO does as ordered::
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: Fine ship the Hawk is.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, the Hawk is pursuing the fleeing shuttle.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::the Hawks FCO does as ordered and changes heading warp 8::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::access the information from the bridge, to see what progress has been made::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Mr. Quinnis, is it possible that the shuttle has been modified for such an escape ploy?
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::the Hawk's CEO comms the captain:: *CO*: Sir all engines are at 100% sir.
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: It would have to be. There is no way an unmodified shuttle could travel at those speeds.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: I mean it's awfully fast.... as if the pilot knew in advance that he was going to need a lot of speed.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::reads through the sensor information on the shuttle::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@<HCEO>: CEO: Understood, keep it that way or you will be food for my targ.
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: The pilot knew very well what he was doing, that much is certain.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Can you get anything on the shuttle's weapon's systems?
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: We are too far out of range.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Why is the shuttle so much faster than us? Surely it will run out of fuel or power by now....
CTO_Quinnis says:
::tries to extend the sensors:: CMO: Doctor, can you jump on Science one and boost the sensor arrays?
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HFCO: Get us there faster mister. I want that shuttle.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Let's see if I can change that. :: taps the console ::
CO_Shras says:
CMO: This shuttle was probably modified for this escape
CMO_Kimura says:
CTO: Sure. ::stands up and moves to Science I::
CEO_Turnbull says:
::tries to think of a way to disrupt the shuttle's engines;:
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HFCO: Push us to warp 9.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::continues to try and get the necessary readings::
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Can you scan the shuttle to look for any modifications made?
CMO_Kimura says:
CTO: Expanding sensors...
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: I'm working on that now sir.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::the Hawks FCO pushes the ship now to warp 9::
CTO_Quinnis says:
CMO: A little more Doctor.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: Capt. Shras: I am gaining ground on this shuttle. What would you like done with it when I catch up with it?
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: Can you get us any closer?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, we're at maximum warp now. Maintain course and speed sir?
CMO_Kimura says:
CTO: I'll try to finagle it... ::chews on her lip a little trying to expand the arrays more::
CTO_Quinnis says:
CMO: Good Doc, hold it there.
CO_Shras says:
FCO: Do, until we can no longer
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Captain, I'm going to try and infiltrate the shuttles computer.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Nods :: CO: Aye sir, holding course and warp 9.7.
CTO_Quinnis says:
*CEO*: Chief, can you assist me in accessing the shuttles computer?
CO_Shras says:
COM: CO: We will take all it's occupants into the brig and tow the shuttle to the nearest Starbase
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::shakes her head:: COM: USS Charlottetown: CO Shras: What do you want me to do with this shuttle? I will be within tractor range in ten minutes? Please advise.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::tries to work out a way to break through the shuttles sensor array and gain access to the shuttles controls::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: retracts the star chart as she listens to Captain Shras' conversation with the Hawk ::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HCTO: When in range grab that fleeing pata'k and hold her.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::notices that the Chief has already begun::
CO_Shras says:
COM: CO: Captain, if your tractor beam could slow them down enough maybe we can target their engines and have them completely stopped
CTO_Quinnis says:
::begins running standard hacking protocols::
CEO_Turnbull says:
*CO*: Turnbull to Captain Shras...
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: CO: Captain Shras: Understood.
CO_Shras says:
*CEO*: Chief?
CTO_Quinnis says:
::hears the CEO:: Self: She must've gotten something.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HCTO: ON my mark..........
CEO_Turnbull says:
*CO*: Captain, we may be able to send a signal through the shuttles sensor array. If we can get through, we may be able to get into their computer and disable their engines.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: monitors the warp engine output as the engines are pushed ::
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE ACTION OF THE USS HAWK CAUSES THE SHUTTLE TO CHANGE DIRECTION, WHICH VARIES THEIR SPEED SLIGHTLY, AND THERE IS A FURTHER DEGRADATION OF ITS POWER SUPPLY AS A RESULT
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::the Hawk is now about 400,000 meters from the shuttle as it changes course suddenly::
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Sir, the shuttles power supply has been drained some more.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HFCO: Match that shuttles course and keep going.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Good, coordinate with Commander Lane and the Hawk to slow it down even more until we can capture it
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Aye sir. FCO: Commander?
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: You ready?
CEO_Turnbull says:
::tries to link the two ships computers via the sensor arrays::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Standing by.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: CO Shras: I am not just yet in weapons range as the shuttle has deviated and changed course but our sensors are registering a bigger power loss now.
CTO_Quinnis says:
COM: HAWK: CO: Quinnis to the Hawk, keep that shuttle maneuvering. Every time she turns like that, she loses power.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: Mr. Quinnis I shall endeavor to do so.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: How many occupants can you detect?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: follows the shuttle at a distance, letting the Hawk do her best to slow them down ::
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE ATTEMPTED INFULTRATION OF THE SHUTTLE'S MAIN COMPUTER SYSTEM RESULTS IN A FEEDBACK LOOP THAT ALLOWS A COMPUTER VIRUS TO INFULTRATE THE CHARLOTTETOWN'S SYSTEM
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::motions for the HFCO to encroach further in on the shuttle hoping to make it change course again::
CEO_Turnbull says:
<EO Hammer> CEO: So far so good, Commander. We seem to be holding up.
CEO_Turnbull says:
EO: Keep it that way.
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Five life signs sir.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Something’s wrong with my console....
CMO_Kimura says:
::taps the screens::
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: Commander, see if you can maneuver with the Hawk to slow them down more.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Captain, helm is sluggish, unresponsive.
CO_Shras says:
CMO: How wrong?
CEO_Turnbull says:
::curses under her breath when things start going haywire::
CTO_Quinnis says:
Self: What the hell?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: begins a diagnostic of the systems ::
CTO_Quinnis says:
::tries to run diagnostics subroutine but the computer is unresponsive::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
All: We seem to have a virus in our systems.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Just... wrong...
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HFCO: Keep pushing them mister.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: My screen is flickering... I'm getting error messages.
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Sir, my console is down. I've lost all sensor readings and communications.
CMO_Kimura says:
CO: Oh. And I've lost mine as well.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*CEO*: Chief, I'm detecting a virus in the ship's systems, can you confirm from engineering?
CEO_Turnbull says:
::starts trying to track down what happened and trace the virus:: *CTO*: The attempt to link to the shuttles computer has resulted in a feedback loop... the systems have been infected by a virus.
CTO_Quinnis says:
*CTO*: Can you stop it?
CTO_Quinnis says:
::is unsure of what to do::
CEO_Turnbull says:
*FCO*: Virus confirmed, trying to reverse the damage.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::runs a subroutine that should cleans the system:: *CTO*: Working on it.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Turns to the Captain :: CO: Sir, engineering is trying to get a handle on things.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::starts banging his console out of frustration::
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE SHUTTLE'S MAIN ENGINE CORE IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF SIGNIFICANT DETERIORATION
CTO_Quinnis says:
Self: ARGHHH!!!
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Glances at the CTO:: CTO: You alright?
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: I hate not knowing what is going on.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@<HCTO> CO: Sir, I am showing signs of the shuttles engine core is starting to show signs of significant deterioration.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Are they in danger of having a core breach?
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HCTO: Really now that is good news.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::makes sure the link to the shuttle is disengaged begins running another series of diagnostics and subroutines to clear the virus.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: looks down for a moment :: CTO: Well look at the shuttle's readings.
CMO_Kimura says:
::wishes she paid attention in programming class::
CTO_Quinnis says:
FCO: I'm not getting any readings.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CTO: Their core is going critical.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::moves over to the Helm:: FCO: Oh my. CO: Sir, I need to beam them off.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: CO: Captain Shras, the shuttles main engine is showing signs of severe deterioration. Shall I continue to pursue and attempt to capture?
CTO_Quinnis says:
::leans into the Helm and accesses a transporter control::
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY OBVIOUS THAT THE SHUTTLE IS HEADING FOR SELF-DESTRUCTION AS THE RADIATION LEVELS WITHIN THE SHIP BEGIN TO SPIKE
CEO_Turnbull says:
::tries to repair the damage without having to reset the entire system::
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: Sir, I'm beaming them off!
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE RADIATION LEVELS INTERFERE WITH THE TRANSPORTER SENSORS
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Can we transport the occupants?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*CEO*: Chief, the shuttle's core is going critical. Are we clear of the virus yet?
CTO_Quinnis says:
CO: The radiation is interfering with the sensors.
CO_Shras says:
CTO: Weapons range?
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@<HCSO>: CO: Sir the radiation levels are climbing sir. It will make it nearly impossible to transport.
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE TRANSPORTER CHIEF ACKNOWLEDGES TO THE BRIDGE THAT ORGANIC MATERIAL WAS RECEIVED FROM THE SHUTTLE, BUT WHAT REMATERIALIZED DID NOT SURVIVE FOR LONG
CEO_Turnbull says:
*FCO*: I'm trying everything I know short of resetting the entire system.
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE SHUTTLE GLOWS RED HOT FOR AN INSTANT AND THEN IGNITES INTO A BRIGHT BURST OF LIGHT
CTO_Quinnis says:
::hits the shield emitter::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*CEO*: Understood chief.
CTO_Quinnis says:
ALL: Shields up! Brace yourselves!
CMO_Kimura says:
ALL: Oh, there it goes!
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: covers her eyes from the glare :: Self: Wow!
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@HCTO: Sir!!!!
CTO_Quinnis says:
::closes his eyes::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, we've lost the shuttle.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::moves back to Tactical::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::the Hawks shields go up full and the ship is tossed by the wake of the explosion::
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: THE ENERGY BURST SHORTS OUT POWER ON BOTH STARSHIPS... THE HAWK FOR ONLY AN INSTANT, THE CHARLOTTETOWN FOR A BIT LONGER
CEO_Turnbull says:
::mutters under her breath as she starts another series of subroutines running, as well as more diagnostics::
CTO_Quinnis says:
::his console comes to life but is in disarray::
Host Bob_FM says:
ACTION: AS THE CHARLOTTETOWN COMES BACK TO LIFE, IT WAS LIKE A COMPUTER REBOOT, WITH SYSTEMS COMING BACK ON LINE NORMAL
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::watches as her ships systems flicker but come back::  *HCEO*: What is going on?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: hears a groan from her console as it sparks slightly :: Self: Good grief!
CEO_Turnbull says:
::growls when the power goes down...::Self: What now?
CTO_Quinnis says:
::watches as the console resets::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@<HCEO> *CO*: Sir momentary fade out of power but it is back to normal sir.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::sees things starting up slowly, and reading clear:: Self: Good, that's something.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::nods:: Self: That is such a shame.
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
*CEO*: System restart chief?
CTO_Quinnis says:
*CEO*: Chief, did you do that?
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: sees her console blink several times ::
CEO_Turnbull says:
*CTO/FCO*: Yes, the systems are restarting, but it wasn't initiated from down here.
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: CO Shras: Unfortunately the shuttle exploded before we could grab it. Do you need further assistance?
CTO_Quinnis says:
COM: Hawk: CO: Are there any survivors?
CO_Shras says:
COM: CO: No thank you, I'll send my report to Starfleet Command after we've picked up any piece of clue we can over here....
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
:: Turns to Shras :: CO: Captain, I recommend we run a level one diagnostic as soon as we can reach a Starbase.
CEO_Turnbull says:
::begins diagnostics searching for the virus or remnants of if::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@COM: Mr. Quinnis unfortunately there were no survivors. CO Shras: It has been my honor to assist you. Quapla' to you and your crew.
CTO_Quinnis says:
::begins running a diagnostic on the Tactical stations::
CO_Cpt_L`Korth says:
@::the Hawk turns her heading and returns to her previous patrol sector::
CMO_Kimura says:
::goes back to the CNS chair, having finished rebooting the Science console::
CTO_Quinnis says:
::runs through the various Tactical systems::
FCO_Cmdr_Lane says:
CO: Sir, Starbase 185 is six days at maximum warp.
