Summary:  
The Delphyne is on her way to Barradas to rendezvous with Commander Modex who has some important information for the crew concerning the crystal and its origins. The CSO is in sickbay, apparently with all the moving from ship to ship she has picked up a rather aggressive strain of meningitis.  With her mixed heritage it could be very lethal so the medical staff has sedated her heavily.
Meanwhile the rest of the crew continues on to the rendezvous.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::At her station on the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says
::Keeping the ship on course::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::Kicking back on the bridge idly watching the stars go by on the view screen::

OPS_Twelk says:
::Enters the bridge and goes to his station::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::In lift heading to the bridge::

XO_Bauer says:
::In his place on the bridge::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
XO: On course sir.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::Watching the temp on the warp core engines::

XO_Bauer says:
FCO: I should hope so.

OPS_Twelk says:
:: Checks the power output and COM reports::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
XO: Oh sir we sure are on course.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
:: Going over orders and reports in the Ready Room. ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::Chuckles:: FCO: If not....then at least steer us by some place fun.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says: 
::shakes head at her sister::  Self: That girl.....

Action: 
That blip appears again on the sensors and then disappears

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV: I know a little out of the way place about .3 light years from here that would make the fur on your back stand.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::Chuckles again and stretches, yawning and showing her canines:: FCO: Oh, I doubt that...

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
OPS: Yeah and that little place of hers has some of the best hunting rodents one could love to hunt.

Action: 
The CIV notices a blip on sensors fading in and out

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV: Company again?

OPS_Twelk says:
CEO: Why would I want to hunt them?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Exits lift and heads to her station, sees Sid there::

Patient says:
CNS: It was unbelievable. It was frightening to see a pack of zombie children chasing me, with blood foaming from their mouths. They were screaming, "I want some chocolate."

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
OPS: Well you love live food do you not?  This place has the best animal population for hunting.

Information: 
The new blip disappears from the sensors.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::checks the sensors and shakes her head:: CTO: I believe we are being followed, Romulan style.

OPS_Twelk says:
CEO: I never said that I wanted to hunt them, just eat them. For all I care they could be caged.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Oh joy, true to their word.

Action:
Two blips appear to the stern of the Delphyne.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CIV: Are they having trouble with their cloaks?  Or are they wanting us to see them, you think?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
OPS: Well maybe on the way back our Captain might stop long enough for us to trap some of them for you.

TO_Noseitall says:
CTO/CIV: We've got two more.  ::points at the sensor screen on TAC::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sits up even further:: CTO: I think they want us to see them....but it is odd for there to be two of them.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO: Where are the blips coming from most of the time?

OPS_Twelk says:
CEO: That may be good, since the animals that I have in my quarters will be gone by then.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: There's something not right here. ::twitches her tail::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Nods at Sid:: CIV: True, but they could be doing that to see how we react.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
FCO: So far they seem to be all over.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
OPS: Well Waste management has a problem with rodents again so when you need food just let me know and I will have you shown to waste management and all the food you could want.

XO_Bauer says:
CIV: I agree. I'd sure like to learn a bit more about our friends out there.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO: Concentrated where, mostly?

OPS_Twelk says:
XO: Maybe we should hail them sir?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
::Turns off monitor, stands and stretches. This was going to be an interesting meeting, he just knew it... Turning, he strides for the door towards the Bridge. ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: We could always drop out of warp and release a field of neutrino matter for them to fly through.  We'd have to slow down though so they get closer....Then hit the field moments before we stopped.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
FCO: Mostly behind us.  I'll send you the data.  ::taps a command::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO: Thanks Lieutenant.

XO_Bauer says:
OPS: The Captain said they were to be expected.
 
FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CEO: Bri how are the aft shields?  I mean how good are they?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
FCO: If you see a pattern let me know.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: When they dropped out of warp to shadow us...they would drop out into the field.

XO_Bauer says:
CIV: You'd better clear that plan with the Captain. Seems that would just piss them off.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
FCO: Ariel why in the name of the holy rings do you ask that?

OPS_Twelk says:
XO: True Sir, however hailing them would let them know that we see them.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Takes over her board and Sid moves to his::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CEO: Well there is a pattern here that seems to indicate that our aft portion of the ship is not well defended.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Out loud: You got to be kidding.

Patient says:
CNS: I think it has something to do with my father's death. He was killed on a mission by some form of radiation that was also affecting the ship. I was present on the ship when it happened. Somehow, it was disabling the ship systematically, and transmitting the excess energy to organic evil. It resurrected my father and other members of the crew into radiated zombies. They almost took over the ship.

XO_Bauer says:
OPS: I'm sure they are aware we are aware of them. They are not hiding themselves well.

Information: 
One of the following ships is hailing the other on broad band COM.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::hands go across the board checking the shields and the generators and their output::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
:: Exits Ready Room. ::  XO: Status?

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO: Their pattern would indicate that our aft section is vulnerable.

XO_Bauer says:
CO: Blips are active on our backsides, Sir. I think we are all feeling the effects of being watched.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
FCO: Ariel you got a point.

OPS_Twelk says:
XO: Well sir I am now picking up their COMs between ships. They don't seem to be hiding it at all.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
XO: If I didn't know any better sir, I would say they are protecting our backside.

XO_Bauer says:
CO: The crew has been sharing recommendations.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head again:: CO: This isn't right.  Sir, we have at least two ships shadowing us.  Commander Modex defected to our side years ago.  There wouldn't be two cloaked Romulan ships with him.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
FCO: That's what I thought.  Although I think they are just hoping to provoke us into doing something dumb.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
XO: I understand, it's unsettling to know they're back there...

XO_Bauer says:
CEO: I think that is why the Romulan fellow put them there, Ensign
.
FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV: Unless they were watching and protecting our backside. Which is what I think they are doing.

Information: 
OPS picks up a brief part of the transmission before it is terminated.  It is the Commander of a Romulan vessel saying "Traitor..." Then the transmission is cut.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CIV: Perhaps he hasn't defected alone?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
Self: Or he hasn't defected as much as we'd think?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO: Now why would the Romulans protect the backside of a Federation ship in Federation territory that is meeting up with a Romulan defector?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
XO: Ariel is right.  Our rear aft shielding is not up to specs at the moment.  I wonder why?  Even with the new modifications we should be well protected there.

OPS_Twelk says:
CO: Sir I don't think they’re there to protect us. I just got one word before the transmission was cut and that word was Traitor.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: Double agent?

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::finishes up with his patient and finally gets out of the office, wondering if the crystal might turn any of their crew into zombies::

XO_Bauer says:
CEO: Thank you, Ensign. We are aware of that.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV: Could he be a double agent? ::she whispers::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CIV: I think I know what your point is Commander.  We can't let our guard down just because a Romulan says to.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::shakes her head:: CTO: No...the report states that he defected by himself on this very ship.  He was cleared by both Starfleet and SFI.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
OPS: Is there any way to clear that message up?

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::asleep in the lab, with her head cradled in her arm, which is lying flat on the table...still sitting in the lab stool, and not drooling or snoring...or anything....just....quiet, quick sleep::

OPS_Twelk says:
CO : I will try sir. :: tries to clear up the message::

Action: 
A Warbird fully decloaks and fires on the second blip behind the Delphyne.  The weapon’s impact shows the scout ship that has been following the Excelsior in full view.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CIV: Commander, I know we should trust Starfleet and SFI, but I still trust my gut more and my gut says something isn't right here.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
Out loud: Hello there. I have weapons fire on our tail.

XO_Bauer says:
ALL: We are carrying a lot of new parts on this ship, what with the upgrades and the Romulans want us getting through safely. Seems highly suspicious, huh?

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO: Can you confirm?

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::her board beeps:: CO/XO: Sirs, we've got one of the blips firing on the other blip.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Blasted. Knew it was too good to be true.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CIV:  Is there...  ::stops when the reports of weapons fire comes in ::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sees the sensors:: CO: Captain, a Warbird is firing on the scout ship...it seems that the Romulans have caught up with Commander Modex.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CEO: Bri I think you might want to get some power to the aft shields right about now.

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::slips into the lab and moving towards finishing his research in regards to the reanimation of dead cells, growing more paranoid with each step::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CTO: Get some readings on those ships.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
*Engineering*: Bring fusion reactors 4 thru 7 online and feed them into aft shields.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Touches her board:: CO: Scanning now, Sir.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::heads over to the science sensors and pushes the young inexperienced SO out of the way:: CTO: That scout won't hold up long to a Warbird.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CIV: Did you happen to notice where the Warbird came from? Or were they both behind us?

OPS_Twelk says:
:: watches the power reading as the reactors are brought on line::

Information: 
The smaller ship is rocked hard, its plasma drive is venting and shields are down by 62%.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Scans both the Warbird and the scout::  CIV: I know.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CO: Sir, the scout’s venting plasma and their shields are down by 62%.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Bring us about.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
OPS: I am sorry if I stepped on your toes.  It is an automatic reaction for me.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Both were behind us, Sir.  I'm guessing that the scout ship was with us the whole time and the Warbird caught up.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CTO: Check for life signs on the scout ship.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
Out loud: All hang on to your chairs.

XO_Bauer says:
Computer/All: Go to Red Alert.

OPS_Twelk says:
:: tries to get a transporter lock on the personnel on the scout::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::brings the Delphyne around 180 degrees negative 15 degree pitch to accomplish the turn to port::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev 
CIV: The problem is, we don't know the motives of either?

OPS_Twelk says:
CEO: As long as the power gets to where it is needed it doesn't matter who makes it happen.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CO: We are facing the opposite direction Sir. ::grins::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CO: Sir they won't last too long without some help.  ::a beep from her board:: 10 life-signs, some are weak.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: The scout ship is probably with Modex....especially if the Warbird is firing on it.  That COM that OPS picked up was probably a warning or a threat.

OPS_Twelk says:
CO: Working on getting a transporter lock on them Sir.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
OPS: Hail the Warbird, have them stop attacking.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
FCO: Ariel will you stop doing that please.  You are going to make me install seat belts.

OPS_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Sir :: hails the Warbird::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
OPS: Continue with the transporter locks.

OPS_Twelk says:
*CMO*: Doctor you need to be ready for possible injured personnel coming in.

XO_Bauer says:
::Smiles:: CO: I think we are within our rights to ask them what is going on back there.

Action:
The Warbird’s next pass tears away part of the smaller ships hull plating, venting two bodies into space.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
Self: Not good Ariel, not good. Need to get closer and fast.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Captain!  Hull breach on the scout ship.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CO: Sir, the Warbird got some of the hull on the scout ship..  ::looks at her sensors then back up:: Two bodies have been exposed to space.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
OPS: Lock on those bodies and beam them to sick bay!

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir you want me to get in closer and faster?

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::sees Lincaad is asleep, hears the message, and moves towards her, rubbing her back gently:: CMO: Raine. Wake up Dear.

OPS_Twelk says: 
:: Tries to lock on to the 2 bodies and transport them:: CO:: Working on it now, Sir.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
FCO: Yes, close in.

Warbird_Commander says:
COM: Delphyne : Be patient we will destroy you soon enough, Intruders.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
XO: Why did it have to be Romulans?

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::presses his COM badge:: *OPS*: Our doctor is currently disoriented but will be prepared for the incoming patients.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CO: Done sir.  ::pushes the ship faster and closes in on the scout ship quickly::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::blinks:: Out loud: They sort of have that backwards...don't they?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: Engineering is ready and all damage control teams ready to deploy.

XO_Bauer says:
CO: It was just a matter of time.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
XO: Get ready for battle. Take care of the defense.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Sir, I suggest we extend our shields around the scout ship.

OPS_Twelk says:
*CNS*: Roger, transporting 2 now.

XO_Bauer says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
*Engineering*: You got a go for battle alert.  Move your backsides.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CIV: Once we're close enough, we can do that.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::inputs escape vectors and attack runs for maximum yield and shooting::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::sits up with a start and blinks, looking around:: CNS: Huh...what? ::stands up and stretches quickly::

XO_Bauer says:
CTO/CIV: I'll need you both to work with me, let's get ready to rumble girls.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye, sir

Action: 
The Excelsior class responds well and begins turning as piloted.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: In the meantime...how about firing a volley up their nose.  Get their attention away from the smaller ship.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::twists her torso to pop her back and sighs:: CNS: Sorry, I fell asleep I guess....what did I miss?

XO_Bauer says:
CTO: Prepare weapons.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CO: I have escape vectors plotted and laid in and several attack patterns as well, for maximum firing position.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye ::a small grin as she readies the weapons:: Ready sir.

XO_Bauer says:
CIV: You may coordinate our offense, and let the Lieutenant take defense?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: Engineering is 100% battle ready. All damage control teams already dispatched to assigned stations.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye.

XO_Bauer says:
CTO/CIV: Wait for the order to fire.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV: I guess we will be working together on this one.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CIV: Target the Warbird and fire when ready.

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::points towards the COM badge:: CMO: According to operations, we have incoming injured on their way to sickbay.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV: Transmitting attack flight patterns to your console.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Aye sir.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV: Just give me the word and you got the best shot.

OPS_Twelk says:
:: transports 3 badly burned people to sickbay:: *CMO* Doctor I am transporting 3 people now with bad radiation burns.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::curses softly, then brushes right past Silelik and into sickbay....then rushes over to the biobeds now occupied:: Self: Romulans?! Oh perfect...

XO_Bauer says:
FCO: You concentrate on keeping us out of their line of fire.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CEO: Bri watch your backside.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::targets the Warbird and holds until they are within firing range:: FCO: Steady up, Ensign.

Action:
The Warbird fires again, the return fire from the Scout ship not even penetrating the shields of the bigger ship.  The Scout ship disappears in a flash.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
XO: Understood.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::steadies up the Delphyne::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
FCO: Ariel, you fly. I will do my job.

XO_Bauer says:
OPS: I'll need you to monitor their location and keep an ear on the COM. See what else they are saying.

OPS_Twelk says:
CO: Sir I was able to get 3 people off the ship.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
OPS: Only three?

OPS_Twelk says
:CO: Yes sir only 3.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::gets some defense patterns called up from the computer:: FCO: I've got a few things that you might like  ::sends the defense flight patterns to the FCO::  They might help.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: Fly her Ariel. Fly her.  You are the best.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::fires at the Warbird:: CO/XO: Firing phasers. ::targets the shield generator::

OPS_Twelk says:
XO: Aye sir

Action: 
The Warbird turns to face the Delphyne and its weapons are charging. The Warbird hails the Delphyne.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::taps her COM badge as her staff flies into action along with her:: *OPS*: Got them.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::receives the flight defense patterns from the CTO::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO: Nice, I like them.

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::not too far behind her, he also enters sickbay, and he directs his attention to a display panel in sickbay to see exactly what is going on:: Self: I haven't seen a Warbird in...

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Grins, showing her teeth:: FCO: Thought you might.

XO_Bauer says: 
*CNS*: Counselor, head to sickbay, see if you can get any information from the wounded as to what happened out there.

Information: 
The patients that arrive in sickbay seem to be from the command area of the Scout ship so their burns were not life threatening but severe.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::keys them in and adjusts two of her own to match the CTO's::

OPS_Twelk says:
CO: Sir, we are being hailed by the Warbird.

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
*XO*: I'm in sickbay now. Looks like we have ourselves quite a situation. I will collect as much information as possible.

XO_Bauer says:
*CNS*: Thank you.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
OPS: On screen.

XO_Bauer says:
::Listens to the incoming message::

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::allows her staff a second to step in for the triage, then moves to the patient who looks to be in the worst condition::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::hands fly over her console reinforcing the shields on the ship forward and aft::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Checks the aft shields and readies her program to shunt power where needed.....just in case::

OPS_Twelk says:
CO: Roger Sir :: puts the COM on Screen::

Action:
The Warbirds shields take the brunt of the impact from the volley. It will take more to get something lethal.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::looks at the screen::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
:leans over and speaks softly so as not be overheard:: CTO: How good are you at playing chicken? ::grins::

Warbird_Commander says:
COM: Delphyne: This is Commander Raedheol, you have something that does not belong to you.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::raises an eyebrow::

XO_Bauer says:
::Looks at the CO::

OPS_Twelk says:
:: wonder what that could be::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::looks at the captain::

Information: 
The Commander is Romulan, but something is different in his manner and appearance.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: I don't like this.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Looks at Mrlr and absently touches her scar:: CIV: Very good ::has a feral grin::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
COM: Warbird: Commander Raedheol, you'll have to be more specific? I would hate to think this was all a misunderstanding?

XO_Bauer says:
CO: Romulans? They think everything is theirs.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::texts to her sister:: FCO: Am I dreaming or is there something familiar about this character?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::looks at the view screen:: CTO: Does something look a bit...off?  There's something not quite right.

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::turns his attention to the wounded in sickbay and determines the best means of collecting Information while being sensitive to their pain::

Warbird_Commander says:
:: A plasma torpedo rockets past the Delphyne’s bow:: COM: Delphyne: CO : Do not toy with me captain, you know what I am talking about...the Beginning of Change.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::texts to the CIV: CIV: Commander Bri just asked me something.  Something doesn't quite look right about this person.

XO_Bauer says:
CTO: Shields.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self: I knew it. Bloody hell.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CIV: What do you.....  ::pauses as she looks closer at the screen, her antennae droop closer to her head:: I think you're right.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CTO: You’ve got 100% on shields forward and aft.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
XO: Shields are up and ready sir.

OPS_Twelk says:
:: reroutes more power to the shields and shuts down non-essential areas::

XO_Bauer says:
CTO: Thank you. ::Looks at the Romulan on the screen:: Self: Hmmm.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
COM: Warbird: I am not toying with you. Everything on board belongs to the Federation. Perhaps your intelligence is in error?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::nods to the FCO that she got her message and then turns back to the CTO:: CTO: ::shrugs and still speaks quietly:: No matter....we need to get out of this.  Here's my plan.  We head straight for the ship firing everything we have at her.  At the last moment, we duck under her belly and fire torpedoes back up at her.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
::sends a text message to engineering::  Ens. Tompson: Erect level 10  force field around crystal in my office and shield it with Kelbanite particles.

Warbird_Commander says:
COM: Delphyne: CO: The only error I have made is wasting my time with you, you have no honor. :: closes COM ::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::nods slightly, just enough for Mrlr to see and enters some figures into her console::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: they should have moved the bulk of their shielding to the front....then when we duck under her, their belly shields should be weaker.  Hopefully enough to blast through with the torpedo.

OPS_Twelk says:
CO: shall I get him back sir?

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
All: Prepare for battle.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CIV: Good eye, Commander  Sound plan

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::keys in the exact course and the negative 15 degree dive with a hard roll to starboard to do the belly roll for the CIV's and CTO's shot at the Romulan belly::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::sends the plan to the FCO and tells her to hold::

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
OPS: They will not respond to hails.

Action : 
The Warbird accelerates towards the Delphyne firing a volley of disruptors into the forward shields. The shields hold at 90% but power fluctuations show up on OPS boards all through the ship.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
*Engineering*: Shore up those power grids to forward shields.

XO_Bauer says:
CO: Do you want them destroyed or just unable to destroy us, Sir?

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO/CIV: Program and course already laid in and ready on your mark.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
XO: Disabled, commander.  ::grabs hold of something solid::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Stands ready::  CIV/FCO: we have to be dead on with the torpedoes.

XO_Bauer says:
CIV: Disable them Commander, if you don't mind.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CTO: You will be dead on.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
XO: Aye sir.

OPS_Twelk says:
CEO: chief I am getting a lot of power fluctuations. I will do what I can however I will need all the help I can get.:: tries to level out the power::

XO_Bauer says: 
CIV: Fire at will.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO/FCO: Now!

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says: 
::Talking to the patients with the typical, "Are you okay?" "Mind telling me what happened?" "Do you know what went wrong?"::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says: 
::Taps the controls as the ship begins her charge::

OPS_Twelk says:
:: hears the XO's order and is glad that he isn’t Will::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: Steady as she goes. ::fires full force at the Romulans::  Ready the torpedoes.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::Does the execution, drops 15 degrees, rolls hard starboard, comes up belly side under Warbird and gives the shot of a life time to the CIV and CTO::

Action :
The Romulan ship passes over the Delphyne as the Excelsior pitches down, the Warbird scores a disruptor hit to the dorsal of the Delphyne.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Finger hovers above her board:: CIV: Ready on your mark.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
OPS: My people are working as fast as they can.

XO_Bauer says:
CTO/CIV/FCO: Make it quick and painless for them.

Engineering says:
*CEO*: Dorsal shields hit, but holding.

OPS_Twelk says:
CEO: Tell them that they can grab any of my people that they need to help.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
OPS: Understood.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: Fire at will, Lt.  make them count.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Fires:: Out loud: Torpedoes away.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::holds the Delphyne straight and true for the shot::

Romulan says:
:: in his dying thought :: ~~~CNS: It was them...the changed ones....~~~

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Watches the torpedoes streak towards the Warbird::

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
::under her breath:: CTO: And it doesn't have to be completely painless.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
::once the torpedoes are gone she brings the Delphyne up 15 degrees port and straightens her out and swings her around 180 degrees::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
::Turns and nods at Mrlr, then turns back to her sensors::

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CIV/CTO: Ready for second round if necessary. This time to port.

CMO_Ens_Lincaad says:
::runs over as the monitors call out cardiac arrest:: Self: He was fine just a second ago..

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::raises an eyebrow, placing his hand on the dying Romulan's hand:: ~~~Romulan: The... changed ones?~~~

OPS_Twelk says:
:: tries shutting down more power to non-essential areas to help level out the power fluctuations.::

Action:
As the Delphyne’s torpedoes strike home, the force of the attack against the Delphyne causes one of her nacelles to contact the Romulan ship as well.  The Warbird seems to lose all shape and form then disappear.

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::suddenly thinks, it better not be zombies::

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CO: Sir, the Warbird's disruptor fire hit the dorsal.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
CTO: Get repair crews on it.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye ::sends the message to the repair crews::

Engineering says:
*CEO*: Nacelle damage slight, Sir. Team already on the way to fix.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: Repair crews already on their way to nacelle damage.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
All: What just happened? Where did the Warbird go?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: What....what happened to the ship? ::checks sensors:: there's no trace of them!

XO_Bauer says:
OPS: Where did that Warbird go?

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
Self; Bloody hell. Now is not a good time to lose a nacelle.

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir if it was an illusion, it was a real one.

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
CEO: Some illusion sister.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CO: Clean hits sir, but I don't know why they cloaked.

OPS_Twelk says:
XO: Sir it seems to have just disappeared.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CO: Checking sensors now....::scans the entire area:: There's nothing.  It's as if they weren't even there.

CTO_Lt_Llynisika says:
CIV: Could we have gotten something with our torpedoes?

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
FCO/CEO: Illusions don't destroy perfectly good scout ships.

CNS_LtJG_Silelik says:
::Sits down next to the Romulan and wonders if he should have attempted some form of mind touch before he expired::

CEO_Ens_Bri_Rochelle says:
CIV: There I do agree with you. Illusions don't do damage to other ships.

CIV_Cmdr_Mrlr says:
CTO: No, it happened when our nacelle touched their shields....::growls:: I like a mystery as much as the next person but this is ridiculous!

FCO_Ens_Ariel_Rochelle says:
Self: This is going to be a challenge to be sure.

CO_Capt_Mash`ev says:
All: Find out what happened and get a report. We can't have taken damage from an illusion?

Information: 
The Warbird is gone, but at the time of the...disappearance, the Commander was sending a COM to the Delphyne.  So, left on OPS' screen is a Romulan...with slight head ridges.   ???
