Host Guest_SM says:
We pick up with the crew of the USS Delphyne continuing their efforts to aid Dr. Tokin in his terraforming scans and experiments on Detweiller V, while the AT on the Grant approaches the system's outer asteroid belt to investigate some anomalous reading.  The Grant's ETA to the belt is 21 seconds at Warp 2. 

Host Guest_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<I See You Part 3>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CMO_Hunter says:
@::monitoring the TAC station on the Grant::

CSO_Syrna says:
::in the command seat on the bridge:: CTO: Status of the runabout? Anything moving in that field?

SO_Vendal says:
@::Emerges from the back of the runabout and hands a cup to the CO.  Moves to his station and monitors readings::

SO_Vendal says:
@::After looking over readings he begins tapping into the computer on the Del::

Host Dr_Tokin says:
::Watches the scan results from the planet with much interest.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::takes the cup from the SO:: SO: Thank you, Lt.  I was just thinking of getting a cup. ::sips the coffee and watches the asteroid field get closer::

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO Teesa> Tokin: And here you see a detailed reading of the tectonic plate... isn't this exciting? ::said eagerly like a brand new ensign out of the academy::

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: Ma'am I have some different readings from the asteroids I am still analyzing them

CTO_On says:
CSO: Nothing to report for the moment. I will keep an eye on that field

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Do so...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@SO: Keep me informed when you have an answer.

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: They appear to be tight wave transmissions, they are being sent from the planet in the direction of the Neutral Zone

Host Dr_Tokin says:
Teesa: I see.  Yes, see how the strata are almost perfectly aligned.  This indicates that there is little tectonic activity.  Excellent news!

CTO_On says:
::moves some tac sensors to describe him the field because they are moving::

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: I am cross referencing them with known transmission styles

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION:  Just as the Grant reaches the belt it drops out of warp.   An asteroid explodes 4500 km directly in front of the runabout a few moments later.

CTO_On says:
::and he doesn't want that the moving field should affect the ship::

CSO_Syrna says:
Duty FCO: plot a course to arrive swiftly at the runabout's location if there is....  difficulty. Adjust that course every few minutes as we go around the planet.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Plays with the XO's doors, trying to make sure they close fine::

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO: As if it wasn’t painfully obvious already but I’m reading an exploded asteroid 4500Km from out current position

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: The computer says they are Romulan in nature and the encryption is very sophisticated

CSO_Syrna says:
<duty FCO> CSO: Aye Ma'am.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::sees the explosion and hears the SO:: CMO: Shields up.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Happy with the doors, he walks to TL: Main Engineering

CSO_Syrna says:
::almost cringes as the FCO calls her Ma'am::

CTO_On says:
CSO: An asteroid had explode 4500 km in front of the runabout a little while ago

CMO_Hunter says:
@::raises Shields:: CO: Shields raised 100% efficiency, TAC says that it was disrupter fire!

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: As the debris clears, the runabout crew sees a station of sorts on one of the larger asteroids.  In an instant, it disappears beneath a cloak.  The trajectory of the exploded asteroid (prior to its exploding) shows that it was heading towards the station.

CSO_Syrna says:
::almost furrows her brow:: CTO: Determine the source.

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: If the transmissions are Romulan in nature these could be mines

CEO_Galagar says:
::Enters ME, sees a lot of activity, looks at his PADD, walks quickly over to the deflector dish control::

CTO_On says:
CSO: It seems that when they drop out of warp when they we reaching the belt

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@SO: Send the data to the Del and inform them we have a cloaked station in the asteroid field.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: I refuse to believe that was caused by their dropping out of warp... what do the sensors indicate?

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: Communications linkup in progress

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@CMO: See if they spotted us.

Host Dr_Tokin says:
::Remains engrossed in the sensor readings::

SO_Vendal says:
@::Begins linking up the computer to the Del Main Computer

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO:: ::does a quick read on TAC:: No Ma'am they have not detected us yet

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@FCO: Take us behind that large asteroid over there...hopefully they didn't see us in all that debris.

CEO_Galagar says:
::Starts up a logarithm::

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO Teesa> ::hears what is going on the bridge, knows Tokin is not going to like them leaving in the middle of scans::

CTO_On says:
Computer: Confirm what the sensors as SRS and LRS indicate about the explosion of the asteroid near the runabout

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@CMO: Did the sensors pick up anything when that station appeared?

CSO_Syrna says:
::stays calm but wants to tap her fingers waiting on an explanation from either the CTO or the computer::

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION:  Before the Grant can take cover, the station reappears and powers up its disruptors and shields.  It fires on the Grant scoring a direct hit.  The runabout is rocked violently, tossing the crew around like rag dolls and knocking the FCO unconscious.  Shields down to 75%.

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO ::Gets bounced around pretty bad::  Shields at 75%,

CMO_Hunter says:
@ALL:: Everyone Ok?

CEO_Galagar says:
::Sees a large energy increase, and the grants relays report damage:: *CSO*: I recommend if your going to get the Grant within our shields you do it quick.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::picks herself off of the floor and looks over at the FCO:: CMO: Doctor...get over here and take care of Lt. Trayer. ::slides into the pilot's seat and maneuvers behind an asteroid::

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: I have no readings of the station before now, the asteroids were in the way

CMO_Hunter says:
@ ::Stands up and moves to Trayer, Doing a quick scan with his tricorder::

CSO_Syrna says:
::hears the CEO:: *CO*: What is happening? We are reading damage to the Grant.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@SO: Contact the Del and tell them we are under fire.

Host Dr_Tokin says:
::Wishes everyone would stop shouting so that he could concentrate on the scans::

CTO_On says:
CSO: My sensors detect that has been hit and their shields now are at 75%

CEO_Galagar says:
::Brings plasma ready to bear to have impulse quickly come to 3/4 if need be::

CSO_Syrna says:
Duty FCO: Get over as close to the Grant as you can. Now.

SO_Vendal says:
@*Duty OPS*:   We are taking fire from a station on the surface of an asteroid

CSO_Syrna says:
<duty FCO> ::engages course:: CSO: Aye.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Red alert.

Host Dr_Tokin says:
::Watches the scans of the planet end abruptly and stares for a moment::

SO_Vendal says:
@::Moves into the copilot's chair::

CSO_Syrna says:
*SO*: We read you. We are on our way.

CTO_On says:
::hits the button of red alert:: CSO: Aye, ma'am. We are now at red alert

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: Contact Starfleet and tell them we have a possible Romulan station cloaked within the asteroid field.

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION:  Grants sensors alarms go off as it is about ready to get hit by a very large asteroid.

CTO_On says:
::he hears the red alarm sound and the red flashlights of the ship activated::

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO: Mild concussion, he'll be fine, just a really bad headache

SO_Vendal says:
@::Maneuvers ship to avoid the asteroid::

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: Understood. ::turns to Hansen:: OPS: Contact SB 39S and tell admiral Kiel of our status.

CSO_Syrna says:
<OPS Hansen> CSO: Aye. ::initiates a com to SB39S::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@CMO: That's good news. Can you leave him long enough to man the sensors?

Host Dr_Tokin says:
CSO: What are you doing?  my work!

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO:: He's gonna need to be monitored, this was just a prelim scan, but i think i can sneak away for a few seconds::

Host Dr_Tokin says:
::Hops from foot to foot in frustration::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::shakes her head:: CMO: NO...I don't want to risk him.  Keep tending to him.

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to the doctor:: Tokin: Your scans will wait... lives will not. ::said more sharply than the Vulcan in her would have liked::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@SO: Lt. Do you know how to run tactical?

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO: Yes Ma'am, ::does another cranial scan::

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: I have an understanding of it, not my forte'

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Cover the Grant.

Host Dr_Tokin says:
CSO: They HAVE waited!  Years!  All my work....::Plops down on the deck, tears rolling from his eyes::

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: The Del arrives just outside of the belt.  Many asteroids are between them and the Grant.

SO_Vendal says:
@::Powers up phaser bank and tries rerouting aux power to shields::

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: We are here to help you. Where was that station?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@:SO: I guess you had better learn. Send the coordinates where we saw that station to the Del, please.

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: Aye Ma'am

CTO_On says:
::move some sensors and tries to cover the Grant using the tractor beam:: CSO: Aye, ma'am

SO_Vendal says:
@*CSO*: Uploading sensor info about station

CSO_Syrna says:
::ignores the doctor almost in distaste over the emotional outburst::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: The SO is sending you the coordinates now.  ::sees that the tractor beam is trying to lock on:: Lt. we don't need a tow.  Belay the tractor beam.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Let go of the grant, she needs her mobility... you should have the station's coordinates on your screen target there and fire.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: Can you get a lock on the station's last known coordinates?

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: are we going to try and attack the station?

CTO_On says:
::sets free the Grant and cancel the tractor beam::

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: We are working on that now

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: Get the Grant out of there,,,, I will be destroying the asteroid.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: Try and disable only...we need to find out what they are doing here and who's behind this.

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: Return to the Delphyne.

CTO_On says:
::looks the coordinates that gives the station and starts to make tactical maneuvers in order to cover the Grant and we he has a lock on the target he opens fire::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::maneuvers the Grant slowly through the asteroids:: SO: We have no choice.

CTO_On says:
CSO: Making tactical maneuvers to destroy the asteroids and covers the Grant

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@SO: Keep your eye out...the station has to declaok before it fires.  Target whatever looks like a power grid.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: The Captain only wants us to disable not destroy, so hold fire.

CMO_Hunter says:
@::tries waking Trayer out of his unconsciousness::

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: Don't get me wrong I am not against it, I was just wondering if you wanted to try and flood the area to expose them

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: May I suggest a tachyon grid to find the cloaked station?

CTO_On says:
::he quickly makes changes in order to disable the target::

CTO_On says:
CSO: Aye, ma'am. I am trying only to disable the target

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: There is a known ability to use tachyons to "illuminate" a cloaked vessel, it should work on the station

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: It would help if we knew where it was.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: Seems your SO thought of the same thing.  Work with the SO and we'll coordinate the Grant and the Del.

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: We are getting a cleaner capture of the transmission

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: We will need to use the probes from the Del. You are vulnerable out there... please return to the Delphyne.

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: Another asteroid explodes within the belt

SO_Vendal says:
@*CSO* I suggest that we send "probes" of tachyons at the asteroid it should identify the location for us

CSO_Syrna says:
::turns to the duty SO:: SO: Get on the probes right away.

CTO_On says:
CSO: Another asteroid had explode within the belt

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::holds behind another large asteroid and waits for the debris to clear from the exploding asteroid:: *CSO*: We're working our way there....deploy the probes.

SO_Vendal says:
@CO/*CSO* With the density of the asteroids the Grant may be what we need to use

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO Teesa>::configures probes and sends them out to surround the asteroid once configured::

CTO_On says:
CSO: I have a lock on the station. Do you want me to open fire?

CSO_Syrna says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CTO: A lock? But how?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@SO: Are you sure? ::thinks that she's not too happy about hanging out in these big floating rocks::

SO_Vendal says:
@::Begins configuring the "probe" from the Grant

CEO_Galagar says:
::keeps working on the tachyon cluster busts just incase::

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: I am not saying that the Del can't do it, only that the asteroids on the back side are more dense and with the one that is in question rotating we will need to scan the back side

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO:: This may be more serious than I thought, I need to get him to sickbay to do more scans ::under breath:: he should be coming around by now...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: Are you able to launch probes from the Del or do we need to coordinate?  I need some answers, please. ::maneuvers away from an asteroid and behind another one::

CTO_On says:
CSO: they are uncloaked to shot the asteroid and there is not asteroid between the ship and it

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Take the shot.

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: the CTO has a lock on the station and is firing.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::growls quietly:: CMO: Is he stable right now?

CTO_On says:
::sets the torpedoes to dual fire and opens fire:: CSO: Firing the torpedoes

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: Ma'am should we try jamming the transmissions from the station?

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: you should see some torpedoes racing to their target now.

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO:: Well he's out cold, should have woken up by now, so yeah he's stable but I don’t like it.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: Understood....we'll use that as cover fire. ::nods to the SO as she starts towards the Del::

CSO_Syrna says:
SO: Initiate the tachyon grid.

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO:: the sooner i get him back to Sickbay Ill know more, I don’t show any fractures of his skull, but he could be developing a subderal hematoma, and that’s bad!

Host Dr_Tokin says:
::Sobs quietly while curled up in a fetal ball under the science station::  Self: my work...my work....

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO Teesa>::initiates the grid::

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION:  Station takes a direct hit.  Its shields are at 45%.  

CMO_Hunter says:
@FCO: ::yells:: Mr. Trayer!! wakey wakey!!!

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO Teesa> ::tries not to step on the nice doctor::

CTO_On says:
CSO: The shields of the station is now at 45%

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Fire Again.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: Once the shields are down, target weapons.

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: A cascade effect starts to take place within the station as it begins to self-destruct having had its shielding compromised to far.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::sees the hit and grins:: *CSO*: Nice shooting Lt.

CTO_On says:
::opens fire again:: CSO: Aye, ma'am

CMO_Hunter says:
@<FCO> ::mumbles to himself::

CSO_Syrna says:
::sees the station self destructing and does not express her frustration, just grits her teeth::

CMO_Hunter says:
@Aloud:: That’s better, come on out of sleepy land Mr. Trayer, that’s a good lad.

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: Apparently the station self destructed. ::sounds grim like a typical vulcan:

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@:clears the belt and :is heading back to the Del.  Curses quietly at the news:: *CSO*: Scan for life signs....see if you can beam any survivors out. ::turns the Grant back around towards the belt::

CSO_Syrna says:
SO: Scan for life signs.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::holds outside of the belt:: SO: Use the Grant's sensors and scan for lifesigns also.  We're small enough to go in for a rescue.

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO Teesa>::scans::

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: Aye Ma'am.  ::Begins scanning for lifesigns

CSO_Syrna says:
<SO Teesa> CSO: No lifesigns.

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: The station explodes in a brilliance of light sending rock particles racing in all directions.

CMO_Hunter says:
@CO: He's coming around, had me worried for a second, but he should be ok

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: They either all got away under cloak or... ::sees the flash on her screen:: Are you alright?

SO_Vendal says:
@CO: I don't have any readings of biomaterial in the debris or lifesigns.  My evaluation is that it is an unmanned station

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::shields her eyes from the bright light and holds on as the Grants rocks violently:: All: Hold on...brace for impact.

SO_Vendal says:
@::Holds on tightly::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::turns the Grant around and races towards the Del as fast as the runabout can go::

CMO_Hunter says:
@::Braces himself against the wall::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@SO: Full power to the aft shields.

SO_Vendal says:
@::Reroutes all shield power and all aux power to aft shields

CSO_Syrna says:
:;watches as the Grant makes its way from the asteroid field, expressionless on the outside::

CEO_Galagar says:
::Smiles as the deflector dish starts deflecting the parts of the asteroids before they come in range of the grant::

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: The Grant is peppered with smaller bits of rock but they were able to manage avoiding the really large ones.  Shields at 53%.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@::sees the distance to the Del closing quickly:: Self: Come on...come on....

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: The Del's shielding easily manages the rocks that hit it and it receives no damage.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: Open the shuttle bay and be ready to drop the shields.

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: Aye.

CSO_Syrna says:
CTO: As soon as the asteroid shower stops, then lower the shields and bring the Grant on board.

CTO_On says:
CSO: Aye, ma'am

CEO_Galagar says:
::Starts going through the damage report, preparing to prep the repair of the Grant.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
@*CSO*: As soon as we dock transport the doctor and FCO to sickbay.

CSO_Syrna says:
*CO*: Understood. ::actually frowns hearing the FCO is injured::

Host Guest_SM says:
ACTION: The shields are lowered when it is safe and the Grant lands nice and neatly in the bay.

CEO_Galagar says:
<Delta Repair Team> ::Arrives in the Shuttle bay and starts to patch up the grant immediately, lets the medical team go by first::

CSO_Syrna says:
*TR Chief*: get a lock on Trayer and Hunter and beam them directly to sickbay as soon as the grant lands

Host Guest_SM says:
