Host Brett says:
Summary: The Delphyne has responded to a distress call from a colony freighter.  It has come under attack by a Romulan Warbird which is likely lurking nearby.

Host Brett says:
<<<<Resume Mission "Blinded by Science - Part 7">>>>

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::takes over at OPS and prepares to beam the injured over as she hails the freighter captain::  COM: Freighter Captain:  Please respond.

Sarok says:
::on the bridge looking over the science station::

CTO_K`Vas says:
::on the bridge at tactical. Scanning for cloaked vessels.  Ready to acquire manual target lock if detected::

CMO_Hunter says:
*AXO*: Sickbay stands ready to receive wounded

EO_Knight says:
::Looks over his assembled team of engineers, gathered at the Transporter.::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::ties science into her console::  Sarok: Sir I will be using your sensor through this console.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::After quietly sneaking onto the bridge she takes up position near the rear... she watches the bridge crew do their work...quite impressed actually.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Sarok: Mr. Sarok, please check that your device is up and running and keep scanning the area.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::Standing beside her chair, waiting to see if and when the colonists will beam over::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::uses his device to scan for any cloaked ships::

Host Brett says:
Action: Suddenly, the Warbird decloaks aft and above the Delphyne and passes over the ship, firing as it goes.  The main target seems to be the Delphyne, but one disrupter impacts the freighter, causing more minor damage.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::arranging for Security Officers to guard the scientific devices, scientists, and colonists::

Sarok says:
::nods:: AXO: It has already been switched on... :;sees she's gotten to work already, watches over her shoulder::

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  Dr Hunter?  Do you need me?

Host Brett says:
<Freighter> COM: AXO: We're here, go ahe...<Communications ceases as the freighter is hit>

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::curses:: AXO/Sarok: Is that device working?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Lock on and fire at will keep them off that freighter

CMO_Hunter says:
::lurches as the Del is hit::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: returns fire on the Warbird:: CO: Yes captain

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Eyes dart back and forth.....::  Sarok:  You need a hand?

CMO_Hunter says:
*AXO*:: What was that?!

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::prepares to use the sensors the moment it cloaks again::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::turns to look at her mate and takes her seat::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CNS*: Yes please! Could you act as my Liaison in Cargo bay 2 please?

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CMO*: Romulan Warbird.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: fires photons at Warbird ::

Sarok says:
::raises his eyebrow in curiosity, presses buttons on SCI II:: AXO: It seems to be running properly...

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne's return fire hits the Warbird.  It arcs away and disappears.

CMO_Hunter says:
~~~~AXO:: Great~~~~

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::tries to track it with the device::

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  Yes sir.  Will make my way down there now.  ::gets up and walks toward the turbolift::

Sarok says:
::hears Gretel:: Gretel: No.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: Can you get a lock?

Sarok says:
::does a quick diagnostic on his sensor systems::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::overhears Sarok:: Sarok: Then why didn't it see the cloaked ship?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain shields are at 85%

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO/CO/Sarok: His device shows nothing... it doesn't work

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Sarok:  Don't be so stubborn.. I know this equipment as well as you do...don't let your pride prevent you from asking for help.

Sarok says:
AXO/CO: I am analyzing that right now.

CNS_Jakiel says:
Turbolift:  Cargo Bay 2

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::curses again and nods to Gretel:: Sarok: If she can help then let her...we need that device working now.

CTO_K`Vas says:
AXO: Negative.

Sarok says:
::raises an eyebrow at Gretel:" Gretel: No... you do not. This is my system... and I designed it. Not you nor your master.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Shall I start sweeping the area with tachyons?

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Wonders where Juarez is.  He maybe able to help here.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: Ensign....get your team back to engineering. ::nods to the AXO to sweep::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Sarok:  Oh will you take that pole out of your....... ;;bites her tongue.::

EO_Knight says:
::Feels the ship shake from the disruptor fire and orders his team to their posts as.:: *CO*: Understood.  I'll be in engineering!

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird reappears, at fairly long distance, aft of the Delphyne, and fires again, striking the rear shields.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::starts the sweeps and scans the freighter to see how badly they were damaged::

Sarok says:
::almost looks frustrated:: AXO: All the diagnostics say it is running properly... It is illogical that it should.. malfunction. Perhaps I should go down to my device and see if there is a problem with the pallet itself.

Sarok says:
::almost looks sharply at Gretel::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to Sarok::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::tired of the constant bickering:: Gretel: Can you help him?

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird cloaks again.

CTO_K`Vas says:
::takes a quick shot from the aft launcher at the Warbird ::

Sarok says:
::swiftly goes to the lift as time is of the essence::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne’s return fire misses.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Keep trying the freighter Captain.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*EO:* Mr. Sarok will need access to his machine

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CO:  If he would let me I could Ma'am...  ::Grumbles the reply:: But he wants to play with his knobs and dials at the expense of the colonists.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Can we extend our shields over the freighter?

EO_Knight says:
::Arrives in engineering and mans the master control terminal.::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::hails them again::  CO: Aye

Sarok says:
::fortunately for Gretel Sarok does not hear her, enters the lift instead::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Escort Sarok to the device and give him access to it.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::checks over the preparations in Cargo Bay 2::

CTO_K`Vas says:
::slams his fist down on the console in aggravation :: Himself: lo'Be Vos

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Wonders if she should follow him.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::follows Sarok into the lift::

Host Brett says:
<Nakamura> ::Pacing in her quarters as she feels the ship being hit.::

Sarok says:
::takes the lift with the TO down to the sensor bay::

Sarok says:
::moves as swiftly as a long-legged Vulcan with purpose can stride::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Sighs then takes up position where Sarok was...begins to quickly go over his work.::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> *Bridge*: This is Dr. Kragen.  What's going on up there?!

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Gretel: If you can help then do so. ::indicates the science console.::

Sarok says:
::arrives in the sensor bay and grabs a spanner and opens his machine::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CO: I'm on it Ma'am.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Still no response.  Shall I send out a hail for help?

TO_Re`Volos says:
::Nods to the Security Officer on guard that Sarok has permission to be inside::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: takes a general phaser lock to the bow and elevated trying to anticipate the Warbird’s path::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Shall we start trying to bring the other devices on line?

Sarok says:
::looks over his machine, then looks it over again, then looks it over a third time:; Self: It is illogical... it should work... it should be working...

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: ::wryly:: I doubt if there is anyone close enough to help us, Cmdr.  But see if there are any other federation ships in the area.  We might get lucky.  In the meantime keep up the tachyon sweeps.

Host Brett says:
Action: Again the Warbird appears, this time on the far side of the freighter.  It fires once, destroying the freighter's port warp engine, before turning away.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Fingers flying over the science console.::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods and looks at the LRS to see if there is any ships nearby::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: I can't take the shot the Romulans are using the freighter as a shield

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: AXO: Yes...see if you and Miss Vandermark can get the other devices on line.  Maybe one of them will work

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird decloaks again.

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  Do you have any idea what's going on?  Are we still under attack?

EO_Knight says:
*CO*: Knight to Bridge.  Captain that Freighters not going to be able to take much more of this.

CTO_K`Vas says:
::fires phasers at the Warbird::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Gretel: Can you do that?

TO_Re`Volos says:
Sarok: Can you get that device of yours working or not?

Sarok says:
::turns to the TO:: TO: The device is working properly... my program is functioning... there is no logical reason for this not to work as it did before.....

CMO_Hunter says:
*CNS* Yes, its a Romulan Warbird

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Duty FCO: Evasive action and try and keep the freighter away from the line of fire.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Hears the Capt.::  CO:  We can try Nakamura's... I hate to put Kragen through anymore disappointments.  His sensor really doesn't work well.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
AXO:  I can definitely try.

Sarok says:
TO: It would seem not, for I cannot determine the problem.

Host Brett says:
Action: K'Vas' shot hits empty space.

TO_Re`Volos says:
Sarok: Unless it wasn't really working before.

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Our shields are at 80%

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> *Gretel*: Gretel!  What's happening?  Where are you?

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CMO*: Right.  I was on the bridge when it appeared.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: It might be wise to try and beam off as many from the freighter as we can when the ship cloaked

Sarok says:
::almost sharply:: TO: Illogical. We saw it work.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: Gretel/XO: Bring it on line.  If it works at least we will have the shields down and can start transporting those colonists on board.

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: It is theoretically possible to extend our shields but is would have to be done from engineering, I would have to leave tactical

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Hears the boss.::  *Kragen*:  I'm on the bridge.. there is a Romulan vessel attacking.  We are trying to bring some of the sensors on line.

EO_Knight says:
*OPS*: My work crews are reporting all ready on all decks.

TO_Re`Volos says:
Sarok: Well it can't have been functioning perfectly both times. Unless the EO's repairs were not sufficient when it went offline

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: No you stay at tactical.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods and watches as Gretel brings it on line and prepares to beam the colonists::  CO: Permission to use the cargo transporters?

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> *Gretel*: I'll come up, we'll use mine, I'm sure it will work!

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Starts to bring Nakamura's sensors on line.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: Work out a way to extend our shields around the freighter.

Sarok says:
::raises his eyebrow:: TO: The EO has tampered with my device?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Aye :: keeps a sharp eye for any hint of the Warbird:::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CMO*: Prepare for causalities in the Cargo Bay

Gretel_Vandermark says:
*Kragen*:  No Doctor... don't.  Your heart can't take this action.  I don't want to explain to your wife what happened to you.  It will break her heart.   Besides I can get it to work if need be.

EO_Knight says:
*CO*: I'll see what I can do but whatever protection we give won't do them much good.

CMO_Hunter says:
*CNS*:: Incoming wounded

TO_Re`Volos says:
Sarok: Your device ceased relaying input to the console on the bridge.  The EO was called in to repair it, which he claimed he did, and was confirmed by readings reappearing on the bridge

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird reappears, almost on top of the Delphyne, then dives between it and the freighter before recloaking.  It does not fire.

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  Yes sir.  ::calls to the doctors and nurses to stand ready::  Do you have any idea how many?

EO_Knight says:
::Begins rerouting auxiliary power to shields and extends them around the Freighter.::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Takes a deep breath as she gets a green light for Nakamura's device.:: Self:  Let's hope this works.

CMO_Hunter says:
*AXO*:: DO we have an estimate of numbers?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: They toy with us like children, Captain.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::watches the Warbird::  Self: Why is it just toying with us?

EO_Knight says:
*CO*: Shields extended ma'am.

Sarok says:
TO: But that was the sensor relay... not my device, correct? ::thinks:: Ah yes... it burned out a circuit... a simple repair.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::clenches her jaw as she watches the viewscreen and mutters under her breath:: *EO*: Excellent work, Ensign.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Begin rapid transport...use every transporter we have.  Get everyone off of that freighter.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CMO*: Over 200 colonists.

TO_Re`Volos says:
Sarok: I can't say for certainty. Something wasn't working. I'm usually responsible for blowing things up, not putting them back together.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::drops the shields and starts using all transporters to beam the colonists to the Cargo Bay::

Sarok says:
::almost has a mirthful look behind his dark eyes:: TO: In your line of work that is to be expected.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Sees the shields drop and prays.::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::prepares to raise shields the moment the ship uncloaks::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird reappears at medium range to starboard.  It levels off and comes straight in.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Gretel: Is it working?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Lock on and fire....full weapons

CMO_Hunter says:
*CNS* Estimate of 200 colonist, triage and send the Critical patients to me

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::raises shields::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
AXO:  I've got a green light...and my fingers crossed.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: Fires full volley at the Warbird ::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> ::Rushes out of the bridge turbolift::

Host Brett says:
Action: About 30 colonists/crew are transported before...

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Kragen:  Kragen!!! What do I have to do?  ::Sees him rush onto the bridge.::  Have the doctor sedate you?

CTO_K`Vas says:
::adjusts targeting for movement and fires again ::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird fires, it's weapons slam into the weakened shields, overloading and finally collapsing them.  The Delphyne heels over onto it's port side.

CNS_Jakiel says:
::looks around and shakes her head:: *CMO*:  Yes sir.  That's a fair amount all at once.

Sarok says:
::almost shrugs:: TO: As it is.... for what ever reason not functioning... perhaps we should return to the bridge and the other sensor packages be tried

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne's phasers strike the Warbird's shields.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::grabs the console and holds on::

Sarok says:
::feels the ship lurch:: TO: Perhaps we are too late.

Host Brett says:
Action: Explosions rock the mid-level engineering decks, as one beam slices completely through the hull.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::In true Star Trek fashion, the TO lurches as the Del is hit::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sends out a mayday on all channels::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: grabs console to stay on his feet::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::gets slammed up against the OPS chair when the Del is hit:: ALL: Damage Report!

Host Brett says:
Action: Several bridge panels explode, sending crewmen flying.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Goes flying across the floor.::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> ::Tumbles to the floor::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird passes over the Excelsior, then cloaks again.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*CMO*: Medical emergency on the bridge!

CMO_Hunter says:
*AXO* On my way!

CNS_Jakiel says:
::falls and grabs onto the nearest cot, wondering what is happening.  'Touches' her mate to see what his emotions are registering::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::straightens up holding her side and hurries over to Gretel :: Gretel: Are you all right?

EO_Knight says:
*::Gets slammed into the terminal screen, the same fate of several other Engineers behind him.::

CMO_Hunter says:
*CNS* You have sickbay Ill be on the bridge!

TO_Re`Volos says:
Sarok: I defer to your scientific analysis of the device's usefulness.. I suggest we return to the Bridge.

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain the Warbird’s shields are 45 %

CMO_Hunter says:
::grabs his kit and runs to the turbo lift....then to the bridge::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Sees Kragen fall an gets to her knees wincing as her arm shoots with pain.  She manages to crawl to him.:: Kragen:  Are you alright?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Status of our shields?

Sarok says:
::nods at him, swiftly moves back into the hall and to the lift::

EO_Knight says:
*CO*: Knight to Bridge, Medical emergency I’ve got wounded people down here.  I'm reading overloads in the EPS grid shields are gone!

TO_Re`Volos says:
::heads to the lift to return to the Bridge::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Gretel:  I need you to get back up there and see if that device still works.  ::indicates to a corpsman to take care of Kragen::

Sarok says:
::enters the lift with the TO:: TL: Bridge.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: We seem to be the target of this attack... recommend that we move away from the freighter and draw them away as best we can

CMO_Hunter says:
::Enters the bridge::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: Medical teams are on their way.  We need those shields back up, Ensign.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: Checks shield and weapons status :: CO: Starboard and forward shields are at the point of collapse, other shields in various states.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Conflicted on what to do she looks between Kragen and the Capt.  Seeing the look on the Capt's face she hastily gets to her feet and gets back to the science station.  Fingers fly over the station again albeit much more slowly since she is in pain.::

EO_Knight says:
*CO*: We'll do our best.

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CMO*:  Sir?  Are you sure you want me in sickbay...we have thirty wounded here in Cargo Bay 2.

CMO_Hunter says:
All:: everyone ok?

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::diverts all unessential power to the shields::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Try and reroute as much power as you can to the shields.

Host Brett says:
INFO: Fires are burning on Decks sixteen and fourteen.

CMO_Hunter says:
*CNS* Yes! let the Nurses triage to sickbay!

TO_Re`Volos says:
::quickly exits the lift as it reaches the Bridge::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO/CTO: Already doing that

Sarok says:
::arrives with the TO on the bridge::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Are the transporters still on line?

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::checks::

Sarok says:
Gretel: What has happened?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Aye :: begins rerouting power from all non essential systems and lighting from crew areas::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::moves around with the nurses and physicians, helping the patients back on their cots::  *CMO*:  Yes sir!  ::informs the highest ranking physician he has Cargo Bay 2 and leaves for sickbay::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Sarok:  I'm trying to get Nakamura's sensor to work right now.

EO_Knight says:
*::Notices the cut above his eye, probably from the close encounter with his work screen and runs around Engineering helping men to their feet.:: We need to replace the Grids on decks 7 and 5.

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> CO: Captain, let me try my device!  I am sure it will work.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Some of them are still working ::continues to beam more out::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*Nakamura*: Lt. Report to the bridge immediately.

Sarok says:
Gretel: Have you... ::hears Kragen and thinks that answers that question::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird returns.  From long range it fires a single torpedo.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Sees the Doctor.:: CMO:  Doctor.. Kragen has a heart condition...this excitement will kill him.

EO_Knight says:
::Gathers a few engineers and heads to deck 5 while sending two men to deck 7.::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::activates the fire suppression around the fires::

CMO_Hunter says:
::looks to Kragen::

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::with Nakamura when she gets the comm:: Nakamura: Maybe this is our chance? :;looks expectant::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Abort transport!

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> Gretel: Oh stop your clucking!  My heart is the last thing that will kill me if we don't do something!

CTO_K`Vas says:
TO: Re'Volos see what you can salvage of the aux tactical console, I need another pair of eyes to watch for these p'taks

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::aborts transport::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::walks out of the turbolift and moves down the hallway quickly and on into sickbay::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Aye ma'am

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird recloaks.

EO_Knight says:
::Begins work on the EPS Grid.::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Snarls:: Kragen:  Widow that pretty wife of yours then you old koot!!!  When you drop, I won't say I told you so.

CMO_Hunter says:
::does a quick scan of Kragen::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Incoming torpedo

Host Brett says:
Action: The torpedo hits the port side shields, collapsing them and causing minor damage to the saucer section.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::mans the auxiliary Tac Console and assesses its usefulness::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::holds on again as the ship is rocked::

CNS_Jakiel says:
::feels another hit and is jarred against a biobed::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am the transports?

CTO_K`Vas says:
::notices a pool of pink blood on the console.  tears sleeve off uniform and ties it around the cut on his arm from the exploding consoles ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
:;stumbles as the torpedo hits::  CTO: Whenever that damn bird decloaks lock on and fire at will.

EO_Knight says:
::Brings the new EPS relay online and the grid goes active.:: *CO* Knight to Bridge,  shields are back, what's their status?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Aye captain.

Host Brett says:
<Nakamura> ::Rushes from her quarters and heads toward the bridge, smelling smoke in the air and seeing a minor fire burning down one hallway.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: How long until Nakamura's device is up and running?

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: It is ready now ma'am.

Ens_JM_Juarez says:
::follows Nakamura::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: Good work Ensign.  Do what you can to keep the ship in one piece.

CTO_K`Vas says:
::scans for any trace of the Warbird  :: CO: Captain the shields are up to 24%

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO/Gretel: Bring the device on line and lower the shields.  Begin transport immediately and let's hope at least one device works.

Sarok says:
::stands out of the way on the bridge::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CO: Bringing on line.  ::Taps the console.::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Be ready to fire if that device picks up the bird.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::gets the console up and running and prepares to fire phasers as soon as the Warbird decloaks::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to Gretel and lowers shields::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::starts to transport more::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Nods at the AXO.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Standing by captain ::growls in anticipation::

CMO_Hunter says:
Kragen:: Well, your pressure is high, but I don’t see any abnormalities in your EKG,

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird reappears and begins another firing run.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::watches as Nakamura’s device is activated::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: targets the Warbird as it reappears and fires everything::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::locks on to the Warbird and fires phasers::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stops transports and raises shields again::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::holds her side and tries to take a deep breath then decides that's not a good idea at the moment.  Watches the viewscreen and holds onto the back of OPS chair::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: They are making another run captain

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne's weapons strike the Warbird before it has it's shields fully raised.  Phasers tear into the "beak" of the huge ship and tear rents in it's portside wing.

CMO_Hunter says:
::notices the Captain holding her side

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Then do me the favor and blow them out of my space, Lt.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: fires full volley ::

CMO_Hunter says:
::walks over to her and does a quick scan::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: It would be my honor captain

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Closes her eyes as she hears the order.::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird veers away, firing as it goes.  It's disrupters strike the Delphyne's shields, reducing them to 12% but they hold.

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Shields at 12% but holding

CNS_Jakiel says:
::the extreme tension starts getting to her.  Is anxious to know what is going on outside of the ship::

CTO_K`Vas says:
::adjusts targeting and fires again ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::pushes the CMO away gently.  Quietly:: CMO: Not now Doctor.  Tend to Miss Vandermark.

EO_Knight says:
::Is violently thrown back and forth in the Jeffries tube, suffering yet another strike to the head this time on the back.:: *Engineering*: Report.

Host Brett says:
Action: As the Warbird retreats, the Delphyne's torpedoes strike it's aft shields.  The shields collapse, and explosions tell of moderate damage to their secondary hull.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO/Gretel: Is that device working?

Host Brett says:
Action: But, though damaged, the Warbird again vanishes.

CMO_Hunter says:
CO: Let me give you something, you've cracked a rib

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::as soon as they recloak she drops shields activates the device again and starts the transports::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CO:  It's working Ma'am.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Checking..

CTO_K`Vas says:
::fires in the last direction of travel::

Host Brett says:
Action: The phasers sputter, as a damaged coupler overloads.  Dorsal phaser turrets are off-line

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Get the coordinates of the cloaked ship and fire at will.

EO_Knight says:
<Engineering>*EO*: We suffered damage to the portside.   Shields at 12%, DORSAL Phasers offline!

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain we have lost the dorsal phaser turrets

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: No ma'am it isn't

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::watches the transporter progress::

CMO_Hunter says:
::gives her a quick Hypo and then moves to Miss Vandermark

CTO_K`Vas says:
::tries to anticipate the course of the Warbird and fires again::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Groans as she double checks the sensors and sees that is not working.  Works franticly to get them back on line.::

TO_Re`Volos says:
::Eyeing the trail of debris left by the damaged Warbird, Re'Volos tries a manual programming of phasers and fires::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> CO: Dagnabit woman!  You've tried everything BUT my device!  Are they paying you or something?  ::Stalks over to the science station and begins working the controls.::

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne's phasers hit nothing.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Kragen:  Kragen please don't. ::Pleading look on her face.::  I'm begging you.

CMO_Hunter says:
Gretel:: Miss Vandermark,:: smiles:: How are you feeling? ::does another scan on Vandermark

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::Looks at the CO with a 'it can't hurt' look::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
Gretel: Let him try.  We have no other choice and we can't be worse than we are. ::grimly::

CMO_Hunter says:
Gretel:: What’s wrong with his Machine?

CTO_K`Vas says:
<EO Reed>* EO*: Sir I am on the way to the dorsal phaser turrets, will have damage estimate shortly

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> ::Frowns at the display::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CMO:  Doctor I'll live.. please get Kragen off the bridge he can't sustain another disappointment.  ::Looks helpless:: His machine really doesn't work.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Progress on the transport?

EO_Knight says:
*Engineering* :Send a team to the dorsal Phasers I want them camped there permanently until this battle is over, send 3 men.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: I have three-fourths of them ma'am.

CMO_Hunter says:
Gretel:: what do you mean it doesn’t work?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods knowing that everyone is doing everything they can::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> Self: I don’t understand this...

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CMO:  I mean it doesn't work.... it can't do what it is suppose to.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::fingers hovering over the firing sequence, he looks for any sign for the Warbird’s return::

EO_Knight says:
<Engineering>*EO* Aye.

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> CO: Something's wrong.  I see nothing!

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CMO: Let him try.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::walks over:: Kragen: What is the matter?  Your device isn't working either?

CTO_K`Vas says:
<EO Reed> *EO*: Sir I am in route to the dorsal turret with another man, recommend you send a two man team to check the forward turrets

Sarok says:
::finds all the turns of events very interesting::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CMO:  You people are just cruel.  I'm the one who has to pick up the pieces here.  Why couldn't you just leave it alone.

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> CO: No, it's not...but…but this time it shows nothing!  Not even the "ghosts" as before!  Someone has tampered with it!  I am going down there to see for myself!  ::Turns and begins rushing off the bridge::

EO_Knight says:
*Reed* : Right,   I’ve got a team en-route to the saucer section while the rest of us handle the engineering hull.

CMO_Hunter says:
:: gives her something to ease the pain in her arm, and uses and osteo-regenerator on the brake::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::almost growls:: Gretel: I have the lives of over 500 people in jeopardy so I suggest you back off and let Kragen work.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
TO: Follow the doctor and help him.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
CO:  IT DOESN'T WORK IT NEVER DID!!  I CAN'T SAY IT ANY PLAINER THEN THAT!

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> ::Enters the turbolift::

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks at Gretel::  Gretel: And just how do you know that!

TO_Re`Volos says:
::shoots a look at K'Vas that plainly says "blow those bastards out of the sky", then follows Kragen::

CTO_K`Vas says:
<EO Reed> *EO*: Understood sir, I will get the old girls guns up as soon as possible

Host Brett says:
INFO: The fires are brought under control.

CTO_K`Vas says:
::nods at the TO as he leaves the bridge::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Sighs:: AXO:  I'm his assistant I know everything he does.  He wouldn't listen to me.  If he would revise a bit of coding then he could get it to partially work but nooooo he had to do it his way.

Sarok says:
::finds Gretel's shouting quite disturbing, almost expresses his distaste::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> ::Arrives at the instrument area and rushes to his sensor.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: keeps scanning for the Warbird ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Progress of the transport?

EO_Knight says:
*Reed* I trust you will.  Good-Luck.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: targets the flicker and fires torpedoes at it::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> ::Opens up his device and begins looking through it.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain I have a reading 100,000km off Starboard

Host Brett says:
Action: The torpedoes arc away after the target but, having no solid lock, lose guidance and explode harmlessly when they reach their safety limit.

CTO_K`Vas says:
::tries firing phasers at the reading ::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Keep tracking it.  They may be venting due to damage.

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> ::Lets out a yelp of horror::  My machine!  My beautiful machine!  What have they done?

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Trying captain.

Host Brett says:
Action: The phasers hit nothing.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Frustrated she walks away from the science station and over to Sarok.::  Sarok:  You are happy now aren't you.  You've discredited an old man.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::gives the Doctor a strange look:: Kragen: What seems to be the problem Doctor?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*Kragen*: How are you coming on getting that device to work?

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird decloaks again, close behind the Del.  It fires, targeting the starboard engine.

Sarok says:
Gretel: I do not feel joy... I do not feel anger. Happiness only exists where emotions are... and I am a Vulcan.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::stops the transports and raises shields again as it decloaks::

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: tries to fire at the Warbird ::

CTO_K`Vas says:
All: Brace for impact

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> TO: There is something here, something I did not build!  ::Reaches in and pulls a small device out of his sensor, ripping the power cables from it in the process::  See!

EO_Knight says:
::Begins work on the second power grid.::

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Snorts::  Sarok you are no better then a piece of wood.. stiff... an ant has more emotion then you.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Is the transport completed?

Sarok says:
::nods:: Gretel: Thank you.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
Sarok:  Brother only you would find that a compliment.

Host Brett says:
Action: The Delphyne's aft weapons further weaken the Warbird’s shields, but it's fire collapses the aft shields and seriously damages the starboard nacelle.

TO_Re`Volos says:
::cringes a bit as the wires are ripped, thinking it could have possibly been rigged to explode:: Kragen: What is it?

Sarok says:
::gives her a Spock like look that says 'of course'::

Host Brett says:
Action: Power fluctuates, and the remaining four colonists and two crewmembers are lost in transport.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Glares at Sarok::

CTO_K`Vas says:
CO: Captain aft shields have collapsed and we have suffered serious damage to the starboard warp nacelle

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Ma'am we lost a few in transport but everyone is off now ::is sadden::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> TO: I believe it is a transmitter of some sort.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::gets thrown against the console she was looking at and growls:: *EO* : Ensign, status of the warp drive?  Do we have warp power?

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Recommend that we get some distance.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::nods:: AXO: bring up the shields and plot a course away from here.  Maximum speed

TO_Re`Volos says:
Kragen: Do you recognize the design?

Host Brett says:
Action: The Warbird flies over the Delphyne and then arches away behind the freighter.  As it decloaks, it fires one torpedo at the freighter.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
CTO: Keep firing at the bird.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: tries to hit the Warbird with another volley::

EO_Knight says:
*CO*:  Negative Captain.  And the Core's starting to get unsettled herself.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::plots course and engages::

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> TO: No.  But...::Looks saddened at his device::  This will take time to fix.

EO_Knight says:
::is back in Engineering::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*EO*: We need all the power we can get, Ensign.  Do whatever you can.

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: tries another volley ::

TO_Re`Volos says:
Kragen: Can you be certain that this was preventing your device from working properly?

Host CO_K`Beth says:
AXO: Take us at maximum impulse out of here.

EO_Knight says:
*CO*: We're on it.

Host Brett says:
Action: The Freighter explodes, catching the Delphyne's torpedoes in it’s blast.  When sensors clear, the Warbird is gone.

Host Brett says:
<Kragen> TO: Well, this was not here two days ago.  But I know it prevented it from functioning this time.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::flies away at max impulse::

Host CO_K`Beth says:
*CNS*: Status of the passengers?

CTO_K`Vas says:
:: watches the torpedoes explode, slams his hand on the console again ::

TO_Re`Volos says:
*CTO*: Sir, I'm in the Instrument Bay with Dr. Kragen. We have discovered evidence of sabotage.

AXO_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CMO: See to the CO please. ::surveys the rest of the bridge crew::

EO_Knight says:
::Begins rerouting all Emergency Power to the impulse engines.::  *CO*: That's the best I can do anymore and the impulse drives will blow.

Gretel_Vandermark says:
::Still grumbling under her breath she reaches into her tool belt thinking of another insult for Sarok.::

CTO_K`Vas says:
*TO*: Bring it to the bridge immediately and the doctor as well

CNS_Jakiel says:
*CO*:  Captain, all but six were transported in.  Varying degrees of injuries.

Host CO_K`Beth says:
::tired of the scientists.  Quietly and coldly:: Gretel/Sarok: Both of you...off of my bridge....now.

Host Brett says:
