::Can't believe she spaced out that long and guesses that Riggs in Command scared her more than she thought::

EO_David_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: Riggs what is the status up there

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, when Starfleet first encountered the Dominion, their ships used Polaron weapons that could pass through our shields.  They destroyed the USS Odyssey before we developed shield countermeasures.   If these weapons are anything like those, we should be careful.....

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: Time to intercept?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: Challenge the ships and ward them off

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:

MO_Jorae says:
::Brings the CT's online and orders CB2 to be cleared::

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  You're going to try a beam out sir?

Host Don says:
ACTION: An incoming message is received by one of the Elleb ships

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  We'd have to drop our shields......

CNS_Serain says:
CO: Yes sir, I will try.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: Perhaps, depends.  How many people on the freighter?

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Incoming transmission from the pursuing ships.   ON speakers.....

CSO Jala says:
CO:  Scans can't pick up anymore than what I've already told you.

Host CO_John_Sea says:

E_CO_Hs`Trix says:
@COM: Fed Ship: Return our prey!!

Host CO_John_Sea says:
SO: can the freighter be towed at high warp?

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Sir, their are one thousand life signs on the freighter, I don't think a beam out will work, not with hostiles in the area, it would take too long.....

EO_David_Telarus says:
*CEO* Sir I have all systems at full we are running at our most possible maximum run a system check to see how are maximum warp factor has changed

FCO_Fielding says:
::thinks: Oh, great.  Sentient vultures...::

MO_Jorae says:

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Will do sir.   ::finger poised over the "Wound" button::

E_CO_Hs`Trix says:
@COM: Fed Ship: you have what is ours! Release it to our hands.. NOW! You impede justice! Those you protect are criminal 

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CSO: Please attempt to evaluate the Elleb threat potential to us

EO_David_Telarus says:
*<Eng Team>* Sir we have completed our repairs

FCO_Fielding says:
::hmmmmmms.  Most people seem to think the people they want to Kill are Criminals...::

CSO Jala says:
CO:  I suggest we find out why the Elleb's believe the freighter to be "prey".  Yes, sir.

FCO_Fielding says:
::raises her eyebrows.  Never thought of *that*...::

CSO Jala says:
::runs scans and compares it to the Comanche::

MO_Jorae says:

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:
::Looks out his window, and sees one large vessel, the likes of which he has never seen, and three other vessels ...:: What in the world?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
Comm: Elleb Vessel: I would be happy to address your claim at the nearest Starbase, through diplomatic channels, I invite you to recognize that this is Federation space

SO_Webster says:
CO: Sir, we can't tow the freighter at high warp unless we want it to break apart

FCO_Fielding says:
CSO: Think they might use criminals as some sort of bizarre hunting game?"

CSO Jala says:
FCO:  You mean like those brutes from the Dominion?  Perhaps...it's a thought.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: Please look for a weakness

MO_Jorae says:
CO: Cargobay2 cleared and Cargo Transporters are online, Sir.

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  I'm on it.

E_CO_Hs`Trix says:
@COM: Fed Ship: we of the Elleb government know of no such federation.. you harbor the enemy.. do you deny us justice? ::motions to the TAC to arm weapons::

CSO Jala says:
CO:  The Elleb are not much of a threat to our ship, Sir.

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:
::Puts his book down, gathers his Ambassador coat, and exits his quarters, heading for the nearest turbolift::

FCO_Fielding says:
CSO: Seeing as they seem so bent on calling those guys "criminals" and all...  ::shrugs::

CNS_Serain says:
::feels like she is reading through gauze:: CO: Sir, it's a bit confusing and hard to read through all of the anger I am sensing. All I can get is more of what you know, they want the people on the freighter.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
FCO: Place us between the freighter and the pursuers;  CTO: Fire a shot across their bow

FCO_Fielding says:
CO: Already there, sir.

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Firing phasers!

CTO_Chalen says:
::phasers pass over the Elleb bow::

EO_David_Telarus says:
*CEO* Sir all possible repairs complete and I need an authorization for a crystal realignment

CSO Jala says:
FCO:  I suppose so!

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:
Turbolift: Bridge.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
Comm: Elleb: Your prey are now our prey, do you deny us justice?

MO_Jorae says:

CO:  Sir, their shields are significantly weaker than ours.   A fight wouldn't last long.

SO_Webster says:
::comparing the freighter against the Elleb armament::

EO_David_Telarus says:
*CEO* I request that I'd be allowed to go to the bridge

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:
::Hears weapons fire, wonders what is happening::

SO_Webster says:
CSO: Ma'am, the Elleb's can do damage to the freighter, even though they can't do much damage to us

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:
::Arrives on the bridge, exits and looks around, trying to ascertain the situation::

CEO_LT_Dave says:
*EO* Denied i need you down there  just in case

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:
::Stares at the viewscreen as the three unknown vessels come at the Comanche firing::

CSO Jala says:
SO:  Got it,, thanks.  CO:  The freighter can't take much fire from them, sir, but we'll be fine.

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: Phasers at 20/100 power

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Aye sir!   Targeting Polaron weapons........  Phasers at 20%.   Firing!

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: fire to disable

Host Don says:
ACTION: Fire from the Elleb ship hits the Comanche and the Freighter, there is no damage to the Comanche, but the freighter has lost their engines.

E_CO_Hs`Trix says:
@::growls at the federation shielding and motions to the TAC.. to concentrate on the criminal's ship::

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: Fire at will, disable them

CSO Jala says:
CO:  Freighter lost engines, sir, we need to protect them.

FCO_Fielding says:
::thinks: he's cute when he's shooting...::

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  No damage from their polaron attacks to our shields.

MO_Jorae says:
::realizes that the Freighter has lost engines.........well......CRUD......::CO: Confirmed

FCO_Fielding says:

Host CO_John_Sea says:
SO: get a tractor on the ship and tow it out of the attackers weapons

CTO_Chalen says:
::Has trouble surgical targeting on three different targets::

Host Don says:
ACTION: All three Elleb ships are hit. Damage is minor to all three

Host Ambassador_Rixtor says:
::Looks at the battle continuing:: CO: I wouldn't be much of an Ambassador if I cowered in my quarters instead of attempting to help as best I could ... who are we granting mercy toward, Captain?

Host CO_John_Sea says:
SO: Careful not to damage it

SO_Webster says:
CO: aye, sir ::puts tractor beam on the freighter::

E_CO_Hs`Trix says:
@::the command area sparks from damage:: Controller: get us away.. They out match us.. But this is not over..

CTO_Chalen says:
CO:  Negligible damage to the Elleb ships, sir!    Restricting our phasers to 20% has proven ineffective!

Host CO_John_Sea says:
CTO: increase to 33%

SO_Webster says:
::extends tractor beam toward freighter, being careful not to damage it::
