Summary:  The Delphyne once again is being pushed to her limits to intercept the runaway freighter.  The freighters crew was taken by the Chiku Shan, all of them save the CO...why not him?
 
Without a crew the captain can do little with his freighter but steer it in a straight line, but his straight line has an obstacle in it....SB39 Sierra.
 
The prisoner from the Chiku Shan has told the crew of the Delphyne two very disturbing things; first the ship uses the life force of its crew to repair itself, second the crew has reproduced during its 10 years of missing...there are children on board.
 
Before he could tell more he screamed promising his unseen attacker he would not tell them anything else.  At the same time the CTO began hearing the whispers of the Chiku Shan, angrier and painful.  And to the prisoner they were deadly.
 :
With SB39 Sierra still under repair from the attack just a days ago it is unlikely they will be able to stop the freighter, without using the station itself.  Will the Del get there in time?
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Five-  “Can you believe your    eyes?” All that evil must do to win.....  Star date 10802.13

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::on the bridge watching the view screen::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: continues to study the data that they have from the Chika Shan's scans::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: If I fly her any faster I will fly her apart.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::scans the surrounding area with the SRS::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits up on the bio-bed::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Speed and ETA until intercept?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::At her Chair, scanning::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks around for the CMO::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: Owyn?
 
CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO: What can I do for you Ty?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: I have one hell of a headache

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Lt, while the CEO is busy with repairs, work with the CMO and CSO on how to distribute and deliver the inhibitor on the Chiku Shan.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
FCO: you can push her a little farther. She'll take it.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: We are at warp 9.6.  Five minutes to intercept the ship and 15 until the freighter intercepts the base.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:: Well lets have a look shall we have a seat :: indicates the bio-bed::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::hears Lt. Twelk and taps the controls and urges the Del on faster::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain we had some ideals that we were working on.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sits in the bio-bed:: CMO: How long will the inhibitor last?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Lt, work with OPS and the Doctor.  We need to get that inhibitor past the ship's shields.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::pushes the Del's engines into the red zone::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Shuts off the small screen and moves to cover TAC::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Commander, while the CTO is in sickbay, man tactical please.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
<Edit move my line below the CO line>

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:: Should be about 12 hours, I'm trying to figure out how to get a giant version of it passed there shields

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::mutters to self::  Self: Dewit to this... Dewit to that... who do they think I am?   A miracle worker::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: Don’t worry about the shields. I’ll take them down. Am i ok to resume my post?
 
Action : Incoming hail from the freighter
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO: One ideal we had was to concentrate our fire in one small area and try and break through the shields there and then transport the inhibitor into the ventilation system.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::pulls up the a read out of the ship's shields to work on a possible procedure.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: We are being hailed by the freighter Captain.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Prepare the tractor beam, Commander.  We'll get one try at this.  Prepare a torpedo just in case.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: On screen

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye, Captain

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: places on screen:: CO: Aye Captain.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*edit time of inhibitor from 12 to 24 hours*

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks around sickbay::

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
OPS: Would your plan include using a shuttle craft?  I don't think you would want to drop our shields to do the transporting would you?

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:: There we go, ::injects the inhibitor:: how’s that feel?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::rubs his neck:: CO: Much better thanks

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::trims the pitch and flies the ship faster then she should be::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CSO: We don't have to drop our shields to transport out.

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
CTO:: back to the bridge with you, I need to work on how to get this to diffuse into the atmosphere of the CHiku Shan

Captain_Cravens says:
COM: Delphyne: CO: I think I have you on sensor captain the console is on the other side of the bridge, tell that is you...I could use some good news

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Cravens: We're going to try and tractor you in, Captain.  We should reach you in just a few more minutes.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
OPS: So... sorry sir.  I am fairly new to all this.... ::blushes with embarrasement::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CMO: Thanks Owyn

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::slides off the bed and leaves sickbay::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::enters the TL and heads for the bridge::

Captain_Cravens says:
COM: Delphyne: CO: Unless you have a really big tug with you, that’s not going to do much good.  I cant shut down the engines.  The helm control is on full manual, we were going to get parts at the star base for it.  I cannot go to engineering to shut down the engines

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::steps out of the TL and onto the bridge::

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::over hears the COs talking::  CO: Ma'am if he gives us his codes we can remotely do it for him.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain could we transport over to the freighter.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Taps the screen for the tractor beam control and then moves her hand and readies a torpedo or two::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::hears the TL  doors and doesn't dare turn around for she is flying the Delphyne at a break neck speed::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::moves to his station with a smile on his face::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::mutes the comm.:: CSO: Good idea, Lt.  Do it.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Permission to take my station commander

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, ready here.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: I need their codes.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: No...I'm not letting anyone of this crew onto that ship.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks at McQueen:: CTO: You look better

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: I feel much better

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Cravens: We're going to try and access you remotely.  Send us your access codes and we'll try and tap into your systems.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::without looking away from her console and the view screen:: CTO: Are you sure Ty?

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::prepares to access the freighter by remote once she gets the codes::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: Yes Trylea i am. I actually feel really good

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::hands dance over the controls gently trimming the pitch again to keep her moving as fast as possible::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Commander, if we can't tractor them in, can we repel him away from the station?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Moves to the side and indicates the board:: CTO: Good.  The Captain ordered tractor beam to be ready and to also ready a torpedo.  I've readied two.  ::grins at Ty::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Just a suggestion Captain it might be easier to shut down his engines from the freighter engineering section.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Aye boss

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CTO: Then I am pleased and relieved.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::takes his post and stands ready::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Looks at the board:: CO: We might be able to Captain.  But it'll be a strain

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::winks at the FCO::

Captain_Cravens says:
COM: Delphyne : CO: Not to be rude but if the ship was automated enough to allow remote access to the engines...DON’T YOU THINK I WOULD HAVE SHUT THE FLAMING THINGS DOWN ON MY OWN?  :: wipes sweat from his brow :: Sorry about that
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks up at the main viewer::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: As long as we don't overload the tractor beam, we should be okay.  ::glances at Ty:: CTO: You agree, Lt?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::mutes the comm. again:: OPS: If we had more time, Lt.  But if we can't stop that ship in the next few minutes, we have no choice but to destroy it.  And I'd rather not lose anymore of our crew today.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: whispers to the CTO:: CTO: Easy there old friend we went down this path before remember.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Do it.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: I concur commander

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::sinks down at her station at the harsh words of the other Captain::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::turns briefly and winks back::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Then I suggest you let me transport the Captain off of it first.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::whispers back to Twelk:: OPS: I know my friend. And it’s good to see you

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::sees the SRS window blinking and maximizes it  for a reading::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: If we can't push it beyond the station, then transport him off immediately.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: I am getting a strange reading... to our aft ma'am.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: You heard the Captain.  ::stands to the side of the TAC console::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: get a transporter lock on the Captain of the Freighter::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::stands ready at TAC and preps the tractor beam::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Keep an eye on it, Lt.  I have a feeling it is our old friends back again.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::hears the CSO but doesn't want to think negatively at this point::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::adjusts the yields on the Torpedoes to maximum::
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are close enough for a visual on the freighter.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Do it.  I'll keep an eye on readings, you watch that ship

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::opens the comm.:: COM: Cravens: Captain...we're going to try and push you off the trajectory away from the station to give us a little more time.  Stand by.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::compares the readings she is now seeing to the past times they received a visit from their friends::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::watches the temps of the engines and the manifolds::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::locks onto the freighter::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Whenever we are close enough, use the tractor beam.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: I an see her.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::watches the readings:: CO: Aye Captain.  CTO: Readings are all green, ready when you are

Captain_Cravens says:
COM: Delphyne: CO: I don’t mind how long you take captain, but the star base might think other wise

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::urges the big ship on a little faster::
 
Info: This is an old freighter, looks like more profit went in the pocket than in for repair

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks over his targeting solutions and readies the beam:: XO: Ready once were in range

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
Self: The CEO is going to have my guts for garters in the morning at this speed
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: makes sure there is enough power for the tractor beam::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: Hold her steady Fly girl

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CTO: I am Ty.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Good.  ::Keeps her attention on the board and the readings::

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
:sits the computer to alert her if the strange readings alter in any way::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
Self: Damn

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Contact to the aft skipper

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::sees that they are in range:: XO: Deploy the tractor beam, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::trims the pitch again and hears the CTO at the same time::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Let's do it

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
Self: Augusfratt!!

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::activates the tractor beam::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Keep an eye on them...one crisis at a time, Lt. ::smiles tightly as she watches the view screen::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::beings to plot the escape vectors away from the station and the contact that is behind them not sure what it is::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: routes more power to the aft shields::

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: The anomaly opened briefly but it has shut again

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Reaches to the consoles side and touches a control, checking on a reading, then back to the other readings::
 
Action: The tractor beam locks onto the freighter, the stress can be felt in the helm of the Del.  But the freighter is being pulled off course away from the star base.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Softly:: CTO: Looks good...............so far ::still looking at the console readouts::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Incoming

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Two torpedoes directly aft

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Try and slow her down, Lt.  Bring our speed down slowly.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::fights the helm as it is heavy with the added pull::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Transport the captain off of that ship now.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Antennae wiggle:: CTO: We've got two torpedoes ready, Lt.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: Understood ma'am.  Pulling her off and backing down on the engines to lessen the stress of the tractor beam.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::begins to back off on the breakneck speed of the Delphyne and eases her down slowly to warp 9::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Let's fire back, Commander.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::sets up the firing solution and fires it down the incomings track::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: sees the power reading for the tractor beam:: CO: Aye Captain With these reading I am not sure just how long we can maintain the tractor beam. transports the Freighter Captain off his ship::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: We can use 'em now if we need to.  I can get more ready.  I'll cover TAC 2 ::moves quickly to TAC2::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::backs the Del down to warp 8.5::

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::grabs hold of her console::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Aye boss

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
OPS: Let me know when the tractor settles down.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Full yield boss. Lets kick em in the teeth

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::continues to back the big ship down slowly to warp 8.3::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Sounds good to me ::nods::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Keep that tractor beam going, I'll handle this

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Have we moved the freighter far enough to miss the star base?
 
Action: The Del’s engines are set for reduced speed but the ship continues at warp 8.9, the freighter is dragging her

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::pulls up the contacts firing solution and loads it into the computer::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
FCO: If you keep slowing this ship down it will keep creating more stress on the tractor beam.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Firing on the incoming torpedoes Captain

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::fights the helm as the freighter is pulling the big ship along::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
OPS: I can see that now.  I have to bring her up to 8.9 just to keep from being dragged.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::can feel the hull plate vibrating:: FCO: Stop decreasing the speed...let her drag us for a moment.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are getting panicked text from the star base about stopping the ship   and we are 5 minutes out.
 
Action: The freighter captain appears on the bridge of the del unharmed.  The incoming torpedoes barely miss the huge excelsior and with surgical precision destroy the freighter

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Firing solutions loaded commander

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: I am trying to ma'am.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::monitors the SRS for the formation of another anomaly in hopes they can cut them off from another disappearance::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::growls:: CTO: Damit....fire full spread.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
Self: Frack that was close

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::brings the Delphyne's speed back to warp 8.9::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Full spread aye skipper
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Swing us around, Lt...Evasive action and bring us on their port side.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::readies a full spread and fires::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: Do your thing fly girl

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: grabs a hold of something as the freighter is destroyed::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*CO*:: Captain, I think I've narrows down how to spread the inhibitor

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO/XO: Weapons are away and hot

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: Understood.  ::Brings the Delphyne around evasively and lines her up on the port side quickly::
 
Action: The Del swings tight and comes around to face only empty space

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
*CMO*: good doctor, because we are about to blow another hole in that ship.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Checks the sensor, then looks up at K'Beth:: CO: Well, that took care of that

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CTO: So what am I looking at?

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: A whole lotta nothing apparently

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::runs a full sensor sweep::

CMO_Cmdr_Hunter says:
*CO* We need to load cargo containers with it, set them to blow a small hole, they need to be in major areas of the ship, The bridge, Engineering, sickbay and there main gathering place.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::looks at the captain::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Stays at TAC 2::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Chika Shan calling Captain.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::growls again and then looks over at the bewildered freighter captain:: Cravens: Welcome to the Delphyne, Captain.  Sorry we had to meet this way.
 
CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: No further anomalies have been registered

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: That ship is really annoying me

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
XO: That is an understatement sir.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: I hear you there.  It's almost like they're playing with us

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: The Chiku Shan can wait.  Keep them on hold, Lt. ::chuckles:: In fact...why don't you find some music to play for them while they are on hold.
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Well boss I don’t like this game. time we pulled up stumps and went home

Captain_Cravens says:
:: turns and smiles :: CO: Madam at this point if you asked I would marry you and your entire bridge crew, and bare their children :: laughs :: I cannot say how thankful I am

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::looks down at the FCO smiling::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: finds the worst music he can to pipe back to the Chika Shan::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Normally I'd agree with you.  But we need to end this.  ::looks up at the screen:: One way or another

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CTO/XO: I couldn't agree more.  It is time to end this game once and for all.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Can I requisition quantum torpedoes next time?

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::pulls up the sensor readings of the Shan and looks for its weakest point::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::smiles:: CTO: I

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
FCO: I can think of better things to do

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
Cravens: I'll tell you what, next time you come across a good case of whiskey...send it to the crew.  In the meantime, we'll get you set up in our guest quarters. ::motions for a yeoman to escort the captain off of the bridge::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
'll see what I can do  <edit add this to my last line>

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: Bring the ship around and continue or wait here?

Captain_Cravens says:
:: gladly follows the yeoman:: CO: I will do that very thing :: salutes the CO, his prosthetic arm now very over worked fall off on the floor :: Whoops

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::hears a dull thud::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Just fly around in circles, Lt.  They'll find us n matter where we go.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
All: Okay people...the doctor has found a way to distribute the inhibitor.  We need a delivery system.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins reloading the launchers and readying the phasers::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: Understood doing a lazy 360 degree turn to port.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::begins the turn to port for the 360 turn::

Captain_Cravens says:
:: picks up his arm with the other arm and heads off the bridge ::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: have you and Lt Twelk come up with anything?

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: I am searching for their weakest point in their shields
 
OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: includes some Klingon opera in the music selection being sent to to Chika Shan::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Send that data to the CTO.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Follow them into the tunnel and either beam it over or take it over in person

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::inputs battle strategy runs and evasive as she knows that eventually they will be shot at again::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: To do that, we have to make her run again.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::sends what she has found so far to the CTO::  CO: Aye ma'am
 
Action: The crew of the Del is rather happy, the effects of the inhibitor have set in

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Has a feral grin:: CO: We could do that, although we could get shook up again

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Unfortunately Captain that would mean having to fire on her again.
 
CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Now what exactly do you have on that devious mind of yours, Commander?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: Unfortunately, I think you are right, Lt.  We're not going to get away from this one without a lot more casualties.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Something similar to what you did earlier Captain.  And maybe borrow from Dorvan's shuttle idea.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::whistles as he begins to prep the weapons::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: How would we incorporate the shuttle?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: What we need to do is injure them enough that they have to go back and fix themselves back up.

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are being called again. I think they are tried of the Klingon Opera.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: What if we purposely attack there bridge with a full spread

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: And use the shuttle in the wormhole?  I'm not certain that shuttle can take the stress.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Perhaps, with McQueen’s help on the tractor beam, we could slice off a nacelle again and then push the shuttle into the Chiku Shan.  Of course that would eliminate a shuttle

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
XO: That could be arranged sir.  IF the shields were augmented I believe I could remote pilot it from here.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: No, Ma'am.  Use the shuttle out here.  As a weapon to destroy a nacelle so they'll take a longer rest.  At least that's my theory

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: I don't see any other option. Let's try the full spread on the bridge first.   Then we'll go for the nacelle.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
Self: Damn

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: Another anomaly....

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
OPS: All right Lt...put them on screen

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
FCO: Sorry, no remote pilot.  If my idea can work the shuttle would need to be offline, so to speak.  Invisible to them

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO/XO: Contact of the starboard screen

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
XO: I am thinking a small core breach would do the trick....Oh geezzzzzzzz!!!

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: puts them on screen:: CO Aye captain.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers, Lt.
 
Action: As the image comes up of the Chiku Shan it is just in time to see their phasers fire

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::pulls up a firing solution and feeds it into the torpedoes::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Fire, Lt.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO/XO: WE go another ship on the .......::brings the Delphyne down and around and tries to evade the phaser fire and gives the CTO the advantage::.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::fires a full spread and adds the phasers for good measure::
 
CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO/XO: Weapons away and hot

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
XO: What if we just transported one of the shuttle's warp core out near the nacelle then shot it?

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
COM: Prilar: You could have just said that you didn't like the Klingon Opera...we have a wide selection of music on board.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::turns the Delphyne steeply port and up quickly like she is a drunken sailor::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Holds on and works out how to use Dorvan’s core breech idea with flinging the shuttle into the other ship:: Self: Timing is everything

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
OPS: I really hate that guy. you ever tried fried Caitian?
 
Action: The phaser strike the Del in the shields of her saucer section.  Dropping the shields by 10 %, the ship then makes a drastic turn as if something scared it and disappears

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Shields down 10%

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: He's pelt is going to look nice on my ready room wall.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::follows the trek of the Shan ship and tries to get a step ahead of them::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CTO: I would prefer him raw. :: smiles::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks up:: OPS: That might work Twelk.  We could still use a shuttle as a ::pauses and thinks:: Decoy, and then hit them with the core

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: I`ll skin him for you skipper

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::leans forward:: Out loud: Where are they going?

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
Self: Dang missed it again

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Follow them, Lt.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
Out loud:: Something made him run.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::inputs the pursuit course and steps on the gas::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: Let them think we're using the shuttle only.....::pauses and looks at the screen::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::recycles the weapons and lets off a second spread. Lashes out with the phasers as well::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: Right behind him ma'am.

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CSO: Scan the area and see what could have spooked them.  Although it could be another ruse.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO/XO: Firing again

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we got a subspace message with that last phaser fire I am working on recovering it now.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
::looks at both the SRS and LRS for other contacts::

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::pushes the Delphyne’s engines again to the edge of the envelope::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CSO: Talk to me LT

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
FCO: Don't overrun them, Lt.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: Nothing on scans, ma'am.

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
CO: No ma'am just enough to stay right behind them.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::begins another reload cycle::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::raises an eyebrow::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: What do you think that they want us to follow them?

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::backs off just a tad::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: Hold your fire until we find out what the message is.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:; brings up the message::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::puts the next barrage in standby::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: It could be that they are leading us into a trap..... or something scared them and they really don't care if we follow or not

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Who could be sending us a message?

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
XO: I was thinking the same thing.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: Ma'am the message reads..."there is a secure package in the hanger tell CO my wife has the key sign WW"

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: I believe I have it Captain some one used the phaser as a carrier wave. :: sends what he has to the Captain's console::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
<edit, add to last line after message - that way?>

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: My latinum is on a trap. ::grimly:: And we have no choice but to fall right into it.  Hopefully one of the hostages was able to send us some intel.

CSO_Lt_Dewit says:
CO: It came from someone on the Shan ship

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: The Admiral?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: WW?  Captain... could the admiral have sent us something?

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::stays right behind the Shan::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::checks the ships interior scans::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::dispatches a security team to the hangar bay::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Tell the team to be careful  ::smiles:: Sorry, old habit

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
XO: Yes, it is from him.   Find what it is and bring it to the bridge.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
XO: Aye boss

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: On my way, Captain.  CTO: Tell them I'm on my way adn to wait until I get there

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
::returns the smile::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
CO: Captain would the Admiral's wife be on the station?

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
XO: Commander be careful please.

Sec Team says:
*CTO*: Sir this is not going to fit on the bridge

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::shakes her head:: OPS: The admiral's wife is dead, Lt.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::heads to the lift and heads off:: FCO: Always ::as the door closes::

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
*Sec Team*: Understood the XO is on her way. What is it?

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::is confused but doesn't inquire::

OPS_Lt_Twelk says:
:: doesn't like what he is hearing and thinks he know what is in the hanger bay::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
::turns and listens to the comm. between the CTO and his men while she enters the name "Carol" into the computer::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps foot as the lift moves.  Almost shoves the doors open as it stops. Heads to the team:: Sec Team: Well, let's see it

Sec Team says:
*CTO*: A ship sir, but I haven’t seen anything like it

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
*Sec Team*: understood

FCO_Lt_Dorvan says:
::keeps the Delphyne behind the Shan trying to not be obvious::

CO_Capt_K`Beth says:
CTO: A ship? ::grins:: Well...the old codger still has a few tricks up his sleeve after all.

CTO_Ltjg_McQueen says:
CO: A new toy methinks
 
Action: The computer accepts the code.  A file opens from Admiral Wharton. "This ship was to be unveiled on the test range; if you are viewing this something has gone wrong.  Use it well captain".  With the specs for the 'Peacekeeper' begin to scroll up on the captain's terminal.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Steps into the hanger looks at the ship and smiles:: Out loud: Well this I can work with ::taps her badge:: *CO*: Captain, you'll like this
