Summary: The Delphyne's acceleration seems to have stabilized at warp 9.95.  No other Excelsior class has ever traveled this fast, and the Del has only done it one other time.  It nearly destroyed her, true there have been refits since...but how much can a century old ship take?
 
The extent of the data intrusion from the satellites pulse burst remains to be found.  So far it is the engines, but if it can call up a command from the ships history and take over the engines.  Then just what else can or will it do?
 
Palmer always boasted he would have control of the Delphyne and in a twisted way he does.  But just how twisted has he become and what is he willing to do with his new toy to strengthen his revolution?
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Four- “What lies ahead...”   Captain who is in charge??   Star date 10810.01

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::on the bridge at the science station:  The Ten: ::whispers::  We are going to need you guys again it seems.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: tries to find what he can on the Del's formeer captain while trying to shut down  the computer::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::looking around teh bridge:: All: Report!

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Computer: How long has the current CO been assigned to the Del?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
CO: Still locked out captain

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, still working on bleeding some power out of the deflector dish
 
OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Working on a possibility to shut down the engines.

Ship’s Computer says:
CSO: Captain Grant has been in command for :: a staticy slur of words ::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Self: That was odd.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::feels the ship shaking apart under her boots:: All: Come on people...someone think of something otherwise we will all have to learn to hold our breath as the ship falls apart around us.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Computer: Display results of the last request.

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: Captain we have deck plates popping loose all over the ship and the forward deflector and hull are getting damaged from micro meteors.  This ship can’t go this fast
  
CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
CO: We could attempt to shut the Computer core down manually

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Last time the core was our first problem.  Recommend we buff up the force fields around the core
 
Action: The service record for CO Grant appears but all the service dates are missing

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*ME*: Tell me something I don't know.  I'll give a bonus to the first engineer that figures out how to stop us.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Self: Damn

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CSO: Set the force fields around it.

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: You mean besides free burial services?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Aye ma'am.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Try and shut it down.  Work with Lt Twelk.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: finds some voice record of Captain Grant and starts to put together a message in his voice::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Up for some fun?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::increases the SI around the core::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Computer: What is our current mission?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*ME*: If you don't find some way to stop us you won't need a burial as you and all of us will be scattered all over this quadrant.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves over slightly so as to not crowd Tarrez-Hunter::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Most assuredly I am working on sending a message through the shuttle COM using Captain Grants voice to see if the computer will respond to that.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Ok, I’ll head down to ME and begin pulling chips

Ship’s Computer says:
CSO: The aversion of a collision between a populated world and a meteor

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::notice the XO move a bit and steps to the side a bit too::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::moves to the TL and steps in::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: It might be easier to do it at the computer core.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: It sounds like the computer is re-running the angel mission all over again.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CTO: You might have the message state that another, closer ship is responding to the situation.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Good idea, I’ll head there and see what damage i can do. Hopefully the systems shut down when we take the computer offline
 
Action: There is a big shake of turbulence felt throughout the Del

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::holds on::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps a command to see where the Del is headed::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: Angel mission?  Weren't you the ACO on that?  Try your command codes from that time...not your current ones.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::holds on as the Del shudders and speaks under her breath:: Hold on old girl...just hold together a bit longer.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods to the CO and enter the codes from back then::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: sets up a message in captain Grant's voice that says Computer bring the ship to impulse power and then station keeping and prepares to send it through he shuttle's Com system:: CO: Captain I have a possible solution that I hope will work.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
*ME*:  Do me a favor down there and go rub the plaque.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::closes the doors and orders the TL to the deck with the core on it::

Main Engineering says:
*CSO*: Have you lost your mind commander.  That last jolt brought down a support beam on two of my men

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::grabs the console with one hand:: CO: Captain, we appear to be heading towards Vulcan.  ::glances down then back up:: These coordinates seem to be more targeting
 
CO_Capt_Kal says:
*ME*: Take all weapons system offline and bypass any orders to reinstate them.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: notices that the engine are still holding but running in the Yellow on the temperature range::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: If Palmer expects to rid the Federation of the Vulcans using this ship...I'll blow her up first.

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: Will try sir, but just hold the ship together is about all we can do
 
CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: It doesn't allow me to input my old codes

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*ME*: If you don't get those weapons off line there will be no reason to keep this ship together.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods in agreement::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::steps out of the TL and moves quickly towards the computer core::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::sighs:: CSO: I was hoping.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: sends the message through the shuttle com system and reroutes it back to the bridge::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Try your recording.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Already sent captain.
 
Action: As the message from Grant plays the computer sets off alerts

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Self:  What now?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks to see what the alerts are about::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: swears to himself and checks to see what alerts have been set off::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::sarcastically:: Computer: So what else are you throwing our way?

Ship’s Computer says:
Bridge: Captain Ronrico Grant was died in action stardate 10108.23; current commanding officer is K'Beth Tkar

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Well we are getting closer.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae wiggle as she takes in all of the bridge chatter.  They lay down on her head at the noise of the alerts::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::moves towards the access panels and begins to remove them::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::snaps her fingers:: XO: Do you know Captain K’beth’s command codes?
 
Action: The image of the earth sitting on the bodies of hundreds of aliens appears on the view screen

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: They should have been changed after she....::pauses, swallows:: died

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::moves gingerly towards the access panel ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: I do Captain as I was the one that assigned them to her.

Ship’s Computer says:
*Ship wide*: Intruder alert, attempted physical access to computer core.  Repel borders protocol active

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: it seems to be moving in a progressive timeline with each attempt to enter command codes of what it thinks is the current CO.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
Self: Oh frack

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Then if we try one of her codes it might go to you

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::quickly pulls back as a force field comes up::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
*CTO* : Ty I would get out of that area for the moment.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Can you make the same recording then of her voice?  Run it through the same as grants.  And get that damn symbol off of my view screen.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*CO*: A force field just blocked my way to the access panels

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: Captain I have been beamed into engineering and all access denied with this protocol.  The weapons are still hot...repeat weapons are online

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::nods:: XO: I'm hoping.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*CTO*: get back up here

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain working on it now:: makes the finishing touches on the message::
 
Action: The image fades into that of Palmer laughing

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain the message is ready.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Computer: What is the current location of Captain K'Beth K'Tar?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
*CO*: Aye skipper

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*ME*: Do whatever you need to do to get those weapons off line.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Send it through. And keep your fingers crossed.

Ship’s Computer says:
CSO: Captain Tkar is in her ready room

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::growls to herself::  K'Beth: ::whispers:: I won't let him do this.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::turns and stalks back to the TL swearing at Palmer::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::hears the computer:: OPS: Can you make it seem as if it came from the ready room?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Permission to go into your RR? ::grabs a tri-corder::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CSO: Go

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: Send the message and routes it through the Ready room Com:: CO: Already done Captain.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::nods and moves into RR and starts to scan the RR::

Image of Palmer on View Screen says:
CO: Trouble with your ship captain?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks up as Tarrez-Hunter moves::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: has Captain K`Beth's command codes added to the message::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::steps into the TL and orders it to the bridge::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Computer: Cross the internal ship's scans of the RR and compare them to the scans recorded by my tri-corder.  Do they concur?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::ignores the view screen:: OPS: Send the message.  ::waits for the message to go through the computer:: out loud: Come on...come on....

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: The message has been sent Captain Command codes and all.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::glances up at the view screen, seething at Palmers image::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::a beep, she looks down then moves to the Captain's side::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: And get that damn thing off of my view screen!

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::storms out of the TL and onto the bridge and growls at Twelk:: OPS: Damn force Fields

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: inputs his codes to clear the view screen::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, ::in a lower voice:: 4 hours to Vulcan ::feels a shudder:: if we hold together that long

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Hey don't blame me I didn't raise them

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: I know, next time we should just dump a bucket of water on the damn thing

Ship’s Computer says:
All: Command codes invalid Captain Leurr is the commanding officer of the Delphyne

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: I wonder if we could route some coolant into the area and possible freeze the core?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::just as quietly:: XO: Unfortunately...if we can't stop this then we had better hope we are destroyed before we get there.  Otherwise I do not want to even think of the destruction this ship could do to Vulcan.  Especially since we would be allowed through all of their defenses.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::looks at Twelk::

Palmer says:
CO: Your past coming back to haunt you

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: Now that’s an idea

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::nods then looks up:: Out loud: Leurr?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: The first CO of the Delphyne. ::swears out loud::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
Self: I`m beginning to develop a serious dislike of that man

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: starts looking up records on Leurr::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I see.  ::tries to figure Palmer out, but starts to get a headache::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Beginning?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::growls at the computer and moves back onto the bridge::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS; Run the whole process through again...start with Leurr and work your way up to Tkar one right after the other.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
XO: Boss I’m going to attempt diverting coolant into the Computer Core and try and freeze it

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Try it

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: We can't let the Del get to Vulcan

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::begins to attempt to reroute coolant into the core::

Palmer says:
CO: I vowed to be in control of your ship one day.  And now it is going to make me the messiah to rid Starfleet of aliens

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::smiles:: XO: Nice place to visit but I don’t wanna be part of the landscape

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: sets up the same message starting with captain Leurr and creating the same message with the rest of the Del's Captains and sends it through the Com system one at a time.::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::begins the process of rerouting the coolant::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: We agree on that.  Although it is a tad bit too warm for me

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::whispers as she moves back to the SCI 1::  XO: Commander, I have an idea....

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
XO: I prefer something milder

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Set a countdown clock.  One hour before we reach Vulcan, we're going to start the self destruct sequence.
 
Action: The coolant begins to cause computer failures all over the ship.  Including the cooling for the warp engines

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::leans down:: CSO: What have you got Commander?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
CO/XO: It`s working ::increases the flow::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye Captain ::nods and her antennae stand tall::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::pulls up some old codes from Palmer's former days::  XO: Perhaps some of this was set up while Palmer was still in Star Fleet.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: If the warp engines keep heating up like they are we may not have to worry about the self destruct.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: Good thinking.   CO: Captain :;motions for her::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::looks at the view screen for the firs time:: Palmer: You may have control of this ship for now, you son of a bitch....but soon there won't be a ship to control.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Damn, they are all classified.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::raises an eyebrow at the Captain and looks at Twelk with a smile on his face::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: I don't care if you have to throw a rock through the view screen...get him off of it!

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: It's still a good idea.  We just have to work harder

Palmer says:
CO: Oh please captain, destroy the ship.  You are in populated space the shock wave should be interesting.  Almost as interesting as the story that will appear the a ship full of aliens had to be destroyed to save other worlds

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Don't suppose you know of a way to crack classified section 31 records?
 
Palmer says:
::laughs maniacally::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: And find out where that is coming from.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Cooky isn't he Captain

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: walks over to the view screen and disconnects the cables to it::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
XO: Permission to shoot that moron
 
Action: As the view screen goes black the last image is of Palmer laughing

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: works on tracing Palmer comm. back to his ship::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Only after I get done with him, Lt

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
XO: There won’t be anything left

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::smiles::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::blinks:: XO: Cooky? ::shakes her head and grins tightly:: I'd say the boy is a bit whacked. ::a little louder:: No wonder they drummed him out of Starfleet.  Couldn't hack it.

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
Self: Come on Sykora think... think.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Well, we could work together I guess

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::smiles:: XO: We do make a good team

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I would agree with you there, and not only because you're the Captain

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: We'll see how good when we try out that program of mine

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Is there a way to fool the sensors?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::walks over and speaks quietly to the CSO:: CSO: There are a few things we used to do in the marquis to get into classified Starfleet records.  Not sure if they would work on Section 31...we tried to stay away from them. ::smiles and starts to tap a few commands into the science console::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::begins shutting down the coolant to the computer core::
 
Action: There is another huge jolt.  The Del begins to slow and tumble as well.  Resembling a meteor going through the quadrant

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::turns to face Tarrez-Hunter:: CSO: In what way, Commander?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::grabs hold of something::

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain the message from Palmer was a holo type file downloaded with the burst from the satellite to irk the crew into making mistakes.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
All: What in the hell is going on?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO: Make the computer think we are heading to Vulcan when in fact we head elsewhere

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CSO: We could try.  See what you can do, have Twelk help you

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we are slowing down but I am not able to gain control of the Del yet.
 
XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: Commander, we need your input

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::holds onto the railing and her stomach as it does a flip itself::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::holds on and tries to ignore the yeoman puking in the corner:: *ME*: We need the stabilizers back online...now!

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::swallows a couple of times, her antennae working overtime trying to compensate for the motion::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::feels his gut somersault::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
Self: I really hate that man now

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
XO: I am trying to regain control however we are nothing more than like a metor traveling through space for the moment.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Use the thrusters to try and level us out.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: captain it seems that the cooling of the computer core has brought it to a stop but what shut down the engines I am not sure as of yet.

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: Stabilizers are on line using the impulse engines but its not enough against the warp speed. Gonna have to ride it out captain.  Nice job shutting down the engines captain.  Sorry you had to sacrifice someone

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Find out what systems we have control of again.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Working on it captain

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves over to Twelk’s side:: OPS: Do you think we could program the sensors ::swallows:: to think we're going to  ::Swallows again:: Vulcan, but try to aim the ship somewhere ::swallows more:: else

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::ME's last comm. brings her up short:: *ME*: Explain yourself...sacrifice who?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::groans::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::starts to nod, but thinks better of it:: CO: Aye.  ::Goes back to her chair::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::looks to the CO and begins to wonder::
 
OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
XO: It is possible but we need to  get the computer back online first.

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: Someone collapsed the warp field manually.  The induction would have atomized them immediately.  So you have to be two people down

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, we've got life support, basic power and impulse engines should work after we slow down to impulse speed

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::stumbles over to a med kit and pulls out a hypo.  Starts to go around and give everyone a Starfleet equivalent of Dramamine::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::listens and swears:: XO: Seems we missed someone

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks up at the hiss:: CO: Thanks  ::smiles weakly at Kal::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::when the CO gives her a dose::  CO: Man my stomach hasn't done this many loops since I was pregnant with the twins

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: tries to bring up the internal sensors::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: See,s so
 
Action: The Delphyne is at warp 6, still tumbling and still slowing

CO_Capt_Kal says:
Computer: Account for all personnel.  is there anyone missing?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::weakly smiles at the Captain::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: When we get to impulse speed, if that happens before we get to Vulcan, you should be able to get some control

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::grins over at the XO and CSO and gives the CTO a shot::
 
Action: There is no answer as the computer is offline after the coolant
 
CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
CO: Thanks skipper

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
XO: You don't mind if i try and get some control before that do you?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
OPS: If you insist ::grins weakly::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
CO: Computer down after i froze it

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Are you able to shut down the coolant in that area yet?

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Perhaps using the shuttle's computer?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS: I’ve been reducing the flow. Should be a few more minutes till it`s all shut off

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: Though if it is who I think it was... you will just be using up time we don't have.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::nods:: CTO: Ah...that's right.  Well then have your people make a deck by deck search.  Look for trouble spots and get me a body count.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: And just how cold did you succeed in getting it to?

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::listens::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper ::relays the orders to the security teams to begin the search::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Perks up at the word 'cold'::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CSO: The shuttle would have to interface with the main computer to get a personnel roster.  ::blinks:: And what do you mean...a waste of time?

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CSO: Do you know who shut the engines down?
 
Action: There is a huge jolt.  The Del has dropped from warp.  People and objects are tossed all over the ship.  The emergency lights go on and all reactors go cold due to the safeties being activated by the impact

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::sighs::  CO: Even heard of "The Ten?"

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::starts to move to McQueen’s side when the jolt hits::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
XO/OPS: Even if our forward thrust is stopped.. we have to deal with inertia.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::flies over OPS head and lands half upside down under the view screen:: Out loud: Oooof!

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: grabs his console to keep from flying over it::

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::partly flies over the railing::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::reaches out for the railing, trying to slow her momentum::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::holds his console tight and swears loudly in German::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::slowly gets to her feet:: Out loud: Okay...that's going to leave a mark. ::grimaces and looks around::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
All: now what happened?

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: starts working with the impulse engines to bring the Del under control::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
XO: You ok?

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: We have dropped out of warp Captain and are now adrift.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::sees stars as she moves to sit up:: CTO: Feels like a wrenched shoulder and some bruises, but functional

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
::gasps trying to get her breath back after it got knocked out of her::
 
Action: The Delphyne drifts out of control bow down and aft up

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
OPS/CO/XO: Coolant has been shut off

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::rubs her hip and walks back up to the center seat:: All: I Want status reports from all of the departments.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::shakes her head to clear the stars out:: CTO: How cold did it get?

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
XO: Cold enough to freeze the core

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Isolate all systems form the computer and keep it offline.

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: Captain I found why the engines stopped...

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Starts to nod, then stops:: CTO: I see.  ::looks him over:: You look like you rode that out okay

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*ME*: I'm all aquiver with curiosity.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::smiles:: XO: Use to ride bulls in my younger days

CSO_Cmdr_Tarrez-Hunter says:
CO: With the computer down so are the sensors.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
:puzzled look:: CTO : I uh, see

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain also I would suggest that we could use a couple of runabout to bring the Del under control as well as the peace keeper to defend it if necessary.

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::smiles:: XO: it`s a human thing, like bull slapping

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CSO; there is that...isn't there.  Damn.

Main Engineering says:
*CO*: I am sure their families will be happy to know that.  Since you think so little of us engineers, next time you order some more...we are down two Klingons.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::antennae move toward Kal::

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::lowers his voice and looks shyly at the XO: XO: Maybe a massage for you later?

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
:: tries to see where they are at in the quadrant::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Good idea...in fact...you and the CSO take a runabout and scan the outside for damage and see what else you can find.

OPS_LtCmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain. :: heads for the TL::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*ME*: I'll make certain their families are aware that they died with the utmost of honor.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::looks back at McQueen:: CTO: Only after we try that new security program.  I think you'll like it

CTO_Lt_McQueen says:
::smiles::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
All: next time you plan a welcome aboard party for a new CO...please just send a plant.  This was a little more excitement than I was ready for. ::looks around and grins:: Good job everyone.  Let's just hope this is it and over.
 
Action: Two runabouts take up position and begin the process of bringing the Delphyne under control.  It takes roughly 20 minutes to stabilize the ship.  With the Peacekeeper flying protection it’s time to begin the repairs.
