XO_Grift says:
CNS: ETA?

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
~~~ hee, I heard that ~~~

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: ETA 5 minutes

Host CO_John_Sea says:
~~~ and I thought you had your shields up ~~~

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
~~~ See if I feed you dessert tonight. ~~~

Host CO_John_Sea says:
~~~ in that case, eyes front, shoulders back....err ~~~

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::takes a look at the sensor readings::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::straightens up and flies right::

CSO_Prin says:
::puts sensors on Maximum::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:

XO:  Aye sir.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: one minute until we drop out of warp, sir.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::proud of his wife who is doing such a fine job::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::looks for the Red Alert button, not to mistake it for the Fire button::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: Dropping out of warp now, going to impulse.

CSO_Prin says:
::remembers something from the last time they were there::  CMO:  Be on the lookout for a tractor beam, If I remember correctly it was near the end of the grounds...

CEO_DAVE says:
:: run level 4 Diag:::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::goes to Red Alert::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::flies manually::

XO_Grift says:
CNS: Take us in, 1/4 impulse

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  I'm not sure I follow...

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: Aye, sir...going to 1/4 impulse.

CSO_Prin says:
CMO:  We got caught in a tractor beam, caught us by surprise...

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Ah... I'll be expecting it...

XO_Grift says:
CSO: Anything on sensors?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::sits back down::

CSO_Prin says:
::checks her sensors::  XO:  Not as yet.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::brings the Comanche up three degrees and to the right::

XO_Grift says:
::leans back in his chair::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::keeping an eye on the tactical station's sensors::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::admires his golden wedding band, as he angles his clean shaven face::

CSO_Prin says:
XO:  Sir, I'm picking up normal monitoring buoys and tactical safeguards...

CEO_DAVE says:
:: look over the level 4 reading see something off by 4 and pushed some button  and fixes it::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::pointed, Starfleet sideburns of silver::

CSO_Prin says:
CMO:  Torgh, are you getting anything on tactical sensors ?

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::inhales.....exhales, keep the course::

Host Don says:
ACTION: 4  monitoring buoys begin auto recording.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::stands and moves to stellar cartography panel::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Not a thing.

CSO_Prin says:
::nods::  CMO:  Keep an eye out...

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::monitoring local ionic weather patterns::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: Still on course for the proving grounds, entering now.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::contacting local Starfleet weather buoys::

XO_Grift says:
CMO: See if you can draw any data from those buoys about what might happen

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  Yes, sir.  ::Focuses sensors on the buoys::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO: Hmm... they're just recording devices, sir.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::stifles a yawn, should have gone to bed earlier::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::monitoring local sensors::

XO_Grift says:
CEO: reroute power to the thrusters

CEO_DAVE says:
:: route what he can find to thrusters::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Aren't these proving grounds supposed to um... *prove* something?

CSO_Prin says:
::nods::  CMO:  Yep, but they seem to be asleep today...

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::over hears Sanders and wonders about that too:: XO: when do the games begin?

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Ah, but looks can be deceiving.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::hopes she is up to the challenge::

XO_Grift says:
CNS: I have no idea. Maybe they're just scared of us <g>

CEO_DAVE says:
:: take power from Sickbay  to put them into thrusters::

CSO_Prin says:
::chuckles::  CMO:  To true...

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::looks over at the CEO::

CEO_DAVE says:
:: take Holodecks offline and reroute the power to the thruster:: look at the CNS and give her a funny face:::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::wonders what it is about everyone making faces::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::Activates tactical simulations , releasing 4 drones each with a phaser array::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::shrugs shoulders::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::notices targets::

XO_Grift says:
CNS: Evasive

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: already on it sir

CSO_Prin says:
::sees her sensors blinking::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::each drone is equipped with an independent shield system and an impulse drive::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  Four drones approaching sir.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::sets evasive megan1::

Host Don says:
ACTION: The 4 drones quickly circle the Comanche.

XO_Grift says:
CMO: Hold your fire, lets see if we can out maneuver them first

CSO_Prin says:
XO:  The drones have circled us.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::drones are plotting a targeting solution for simulated hits::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  Aye.  ::keeps his finger over the fire button, just to be ready::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::goes to pattern delta::

XO_Grift says:
::shrugs:: CMO: Open fire

CSO_Prin says:
::keeps a close eye on the drones::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::fires on the drones with phasers::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::keeps the Comanche into the wind::

XO_Grift says:
CSO: See if you can access their control systems

CSO_Prin says:
::punching buttons::  XO:  I'm trying.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::each drone circles, await a shot at the primary hull::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::thinks about the barrow roles she did once in the academy, but not with such a large ship::

CSO_Prin says:
::fingers as she tries to access the drones systems::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::the drones open fire on the bridge section, narrow beam, geometrically perfect::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::dives::

CSO_Prin says:
::shakes her head::  XO:  Sir, I can't access the drone systems.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::targets one drone and fires::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::brings the Comanche around in a sweet move::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::drones dip and weave in and out of the shield perimeter::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::reminders her of a dog fight and plots evasive manually::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::drones release magnetic mines ::

CSO_Prin says:
XO:  I'm detecting mines.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::tries to evade the mines::

XO_Grift says:
CSO: Tractor those mines out of our path

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  Shall I try the torpedoes, sir?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::mines are attracted to the hull and follow the ship::

Host Don says:
ACTION: One of the mines attaches itself to the hull of the Comanche

XO_Grift says:
CMO: only if there is enough distance between us and the drones

CSO_Prin says:
XO:  Aye  ::tries and get a lock on the mines::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::nods::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::continues firing phasers at the three drones that aren't connected to the hull::

XO_Grift says:
CEO: See if you can beam that mine off our hull

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::mine fuse ticks down::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: one mine is attached.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: beam it off?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::tick, tock , tick , tock::

CSO_Prin says:
::locks onto the mines::  CMO:  I'm going to beam the mines 2 km off starboard, can you destroy them.

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
CSO:  Yes.

CEO_DAVE says:
:: tries to beam the mine off the ship::

XO_Grift says:
CNS: Yes, into space away from the ship

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::locks onto those coordinates and waits::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::sets the ship in the direction of the targets::

Host Don says:
ACTION: The mine is transported off the hull into empty space

CSO_Prin says:
CMO:  On my mark....  ;;beams the mines::  Now !

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::distinctive sound of the arming mechanism::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::immediately fires on the mine::

Host Don says:
ACTION: Another mine attaches itself.

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
XO: Got another one.

CSO_Prin says:
::locks on again and beams it out  into space::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
::fires on the next mine::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
:: drones continue to fire as the mines occupy the crew::

XO_Grift says:
CSO: Good work

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::continues evasive::

XO_Grift says:
CMO: See if you can arm a torpedo for a wide explosion to destroy several drones

Host CO_John_Sea says:
::grins at all the excitement::

CMO_Torgh_Sanders says:
XO:  On it, sir.  ::arms torpedo for wide explosion::

CNS_Megan_Sea says:
::sneezes........does she detect fairy dust?::

CEO_DAVE says:
:: keep more power to wherever::
