Summary: The damage control teams hurry to try and make emergency repairs to the Delphyne.  A balance between speed and stealth.  They must hurry to repair the ship, but keep their use of plasma torches and welders to a minimum to avoid detection by the Dreadnought.
 
The exhaust valve for the Grey Mode tanks has been plated over for a temporary repair.  While this will allow the ship to power up the warp engines, they will not be able to purge the tank once it fills.  So the Del will only have 40 minutes of Grey Mode.
 
The explosions being felt have become less frequent.  Either the USS Dominion has repaired their sensors, taken to firing less often, or....?
 
Star Trek, A Call to Duty is proud to present the USS Delphyne, Chapter Eight- “What lies ahead...”   Hiding in plain sight...  Star date 10810.29
 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::pacing the bridge as she has been for the past two hours, peering over shoulders and looking at all the consoles as she goes by:: All: Report people...what's happening?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: continues to head the Del towards the Captain's supply depot::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::sits at console calibrating the manual firing system::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::working with the repair teams::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Sensors are still lousy skipper

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: We are still moving ETA to the coordinates about 10 minutes. Also I have felt less vibrations from Palmers firing. Either he has quit or blown himself up.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Keep them on a larger beam.  You won't be able to pinpoint anything, but you should be able to pick up disturbances in gaseous masses.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Hopefully he blew himself up

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Understood

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins adjusting the sensors::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::grins:: OPS: If we had that kind of luck we wouldn't be in here.
  
Action: A vibration begins.  Small in the beginning but getting much worse

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: That would be our luck he would deprive us the pleasure of doing that.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::feels the vibration:: OPS: All stop!  That vibration means there is another ship coming towards us.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
EO_Smythe: Take those three over there and shore up that section.  ::points at three crewmen, nods as they move:: Yeoman Er'laitk: You!  Help me grab this ::the yeoman helps::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins looking for disturbances::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks to see what is causing the vibration now:: CO: Aye Captain :: brings the ship to all stop::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Take us into full reverse, full impulse.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::stands still listening and feeling for the vibration to get stronger or weaker as they move backwards::
 
Action: The Delphyne lurches and spins. The inertial dampeners trying to keep up.  It was a glancing blow thanks to the COs experiences in the badlands

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO : Aye captain reverses the ship at full impulse. Lets just hope that it isn't coming up behind us

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::feels the vibration, shifts the load and taps her badge:: *CO*: Captain, is that vibration from more damage?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: tries to bring the ship back under control:: CO: That is a little to close Captain.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::staggers and grabs a railing as the ship dances:: OPS: Take us hard port and keep us in reverse.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO : aye Captain :: takes the ship hard to port while still backing up::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins looking for the source of the vibration::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::mutters a few Andorian obscenities, which the comm. picks up, as the yeoman drops it's end of the beam and drops it all on her foot::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*XO*: That vibration happens when a ship gets too close to you in these gas matters.  The shield harmonics reverberate.  ::let's a lighter tone in her voice:: That's how the marquis knew where the Federation ships were.
 
Action: Sensors pick up a power discharge so close the distance is not calculate.  Some comms. begin coming in from people that are looking out the portholes at the huge ship shooting at the Delphyne

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::brings weapons online:: CO: permission to fire

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Incoming Captain :: tries to reinforce the shields::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Fire phasers only. Directly on our bow.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::In a strained voice:: *CO*: You need me up there, Captain?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Aye

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::fires the phasers::
 
CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Straighten her out and drop us directly down 5000 meters.  Let's sink under her.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
*XO*: I could use you on sensors, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::glares at Er'laitk, watches it and another crewman pick up the beam and moves it away::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: inputs the commands into the helm::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
*CO*: On my way

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::adjusts his aim and readies to fire again::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::gives some more orders, leaving Smythe in charge then heads to the bridge::
 
Action: The phasers hit the Dominion on her starboard side.  For the first time damage can be seen on its hull plating

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Direct hit. She damaged skipper. Adjusting and re-firing

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::fires again::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves with a slight limp to the nearest lift:: Lift: Bridge

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: tries and stay out of the path of the Dreadnought::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Hold your fire until we are under her.  I don't want her seeing that we are sinking.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: As soon as we reach that depth, move us forward 500 meters.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Understood. ::holds fire::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Once Twelk gets us in position, fire a sweep from port to starboard and then from bow to stern, phasers full power.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::moves close to the door so she can exit as soon as the doors open::
 
Action: The second volley from the Del misses due to maneuvering

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::smiles:: CO: Understood ma’am

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain it seems that being this close the sensor are able to pick up something that indicates that the phasers on the Dreadnought are taking longer to cycle.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Maneuvers the ship to where the Captain say to:: CTO : We will be in position in 5 seconds.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Understood

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::stands by::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: As soon as McQueen fires, bring us full reverse and hard starboard.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::fingers sit ready over the firing button::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye captain :: inputs the commands and waits for the CTO to shoot::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: On your command

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: in position NOW.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Fire when ready.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins the firing sequence::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Firing

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::leaves the lift and moves to take over sensors:: CO: Captain

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: engages the Captain's order into the helm::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Ah good, Sika...glad you could join us.  Prepare a few probes.  We want to give Palmer something to fire at instead of us.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Good to see ya boss lady
 
Action: The Delphyne's phasers hit the ventral plating on the dreadnought.  Whether it is 200 years of stress or the conditions in the badlands one of the hull plates explodes free and vent one of the MK-X’s cargo bays.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps the board calling up sensors, puts LRS on automatic::  CO: Aye ::fingers move over the board as she readies 4 probes:: CO: Captain, probes ready.
 
Action: Decompression alarms sound on OPS board on the Del.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Direct hit. Cargo bay decompression

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Good to be seen, Commander

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::smiles at her::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins readying to fire again::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Where are we decompressing?
 
Info: At least 10 crew of the dreadnought were spaced and now float in the area near the two ships

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::Grins at McQueen then turns back to her console, ready to fire probes::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Ready to fire again on your orders skipper

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: Swears as he see the alarms and make sure that the SIF is in place:: CO: Deck 3 captain I have force fields in place now.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Evacuate the area

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Remember we are down and right.  Adjust firing and fire when ready.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, we've got reports of an hull plate in stuck.  ::listens to Smythe and turns an slightly confused look at Kal:: Smythe says it looks like a playing card in a watermelon

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Understood ::makes the adjustments and fires::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain we also done some damage on the dreadnought. There are at least 10 of the crew floating in space from it.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
*EO_Smythe*: Evacuate the area.  Get the wounded to the triage center

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Firing

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: As soon as McQueen fires, raise us up 2000 meters.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: inputs the commands and raise the ship 2000 meters after the CTO fires::
 
Action: The Del’s next volley strikes one of the nacelle pylons leaving a nasty char
 
CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: As soon as we reach 2000 meters, fire a probe under the Dreadnought.  Rig it to emit a high energy signal.
 
CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: let's make them think we are going under them again.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Direct hit to one of their nacelle pylons. Correcting aim and readying to fire again

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins inputting firing corrections and adjustments::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: looks like you at least scratched the paint that time.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: I`ll do more than scratch that buckets paint

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Understood.  Standing by.  ::readies the probe::
 
Action: The Dreadnought fire a full volley in the general direction of the incoming fire. One siege phaser strikes the bridge; a couple consoles explode blowing ensigns all about the bridge

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Once we reach 2000 meters, coordinate with Twelk.  Continue firing as Twelk takes us up another 1000 meters.  Let’s sweep her side and see what pops out.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Understood skipper

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::watches sparks fly::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Lemme know when your ready and I’ll let her rip

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::holds on as the ship rocks:: OPS: Commander...get a move on.  We can't stand still after we fire.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::listens to the others, keeps her finger just above the 'fire' tab::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: grabs his console to stay in his seat:: CO: we are moving Captain I can't help it if Palmer get luck once in a great while.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: At 2000 now.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::nods to OPS:: CO: Firing

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::touches the command:: CO: Probe away

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::fires::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: takes the ship up another 1000 meters after the CTO fires:: CTO: we will be at a 1000 more in 3 seconds.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: understood

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::makes the necessary corrections and adjustments::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Standing by

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: At 1000 now.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Hold your fire.
 
Action: The CTO's shot rings true take 13% off the shields on the larger ship.  The dreadnought begins venting through its thrusters

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Checking fire

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::checks the sensors::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Shields down 13%, she`s bleeding skipper

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Good shot, Mister

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: checks to see if the Transports will work in this area of space::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Drop us down 1000 meters immediately.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: drops the ship 1000 meters:: CO : aye captain dropping now.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Fire another probe, this time have it go 500 meters over his bow.
 
Action: The vibrations are coming back, this time there is a screeching of metals and the crackling of shields as the saucer section is hit by the MK-X .  Shields on the Del drop by 19% and crew members are tossed about

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye.  Second probe is ready

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Captain that wasn't a good ideal shields are down  19%.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::hangs on again:: Outloud: It's a good thing we have a tough hull.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::swears::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO/XO: Shields down 19%

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::mutters out loud:: Okay Palmer...if you want to play..we'll play.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::gets back to her station, mutters a few things under her breath, antennae wiggling, showing her anger::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
Self: Hear that Palmer? That’s hell`s bell tolling just for you

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Fire all phasers at where he would be after scraping by.  he can't turn fast enough.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::taps in the command to ready more probes:: CO: Probe ready on your command, Captain

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::adjusts per the Captains instructions and fires::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Full impulse straight down at a 45 degree angle.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Firing skipper

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Captain, I've got the first probe on sensors ::works the controls::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Release all of the probes in every direction around him.  Let's make him think guess where we are and which one is us.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
::put the ship into full impulse and down at a 45 degree angle:: CO: aye Captain doing so now.
 
Action: The Del’s phasers being manually targeted act as a firestorm. Instead of just striking their target it liquefies the plating and the port nacelle on the MK-X goes dark, the other two remain powered.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Direct hit, one nacelle down

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: McQueen...remind me to send a good word about your shooting to Starfleet.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye ::enters the command and fires 20 probes in all directions, readies more just in case::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::smiles and does his best John Wayne voice:: CO: Awww shucks ma’am it was nothing

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Probes 2 through 20 away

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: shall we come up on the other side Captain?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins making targeting adjustments and readies another volley::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: ::grins:: I don't see why not.  After all...we can't neglect his starboard side.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::watches the probes as they shoot away for as long as they register on the sensors::
 
Action: The Del’s launchers begin firing and cycling at maximum rate.  18 of the probes are launched before OPS detects a power spike as the nebula properties cause an kickback to the launchers.  Damage is minimal to the rear launcher but the 4 men manning it are powder.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Coordinate with Twelk...as we rise up and come back along side palmer...sweep teh phasers right up his side.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: brings the ship up on the other side of  the MK-X ::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Understood skipper

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Ready on your word

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::makes a few minor adjustments and brings the phaser to ready::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: bring us up slowly and continue to take us up.  As soon as wwe are 1000 meters above Palmer, bring us around to the oither side and drop us back down again.  Let's keep sweeping her and see if we can't open her up like a can of worms.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
XO: Take is easy on those probe launcher we just had a power spike in them .

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::curses and hits the board with a fist:: CO: Captain, 18 probes made it away.  OPS: Understood
 
CO_Capt_Kal says:
::stands still and listens again to the vibrations:: Out loud: Come on Palmer...which way are you going

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Coming up on the starboard side now.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Understood

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins firing raking the enemy ship::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: waits till the CTO fires before making any directional change::
 
Action: The dark nacelle on the MK-X begins to flicker, damage control must have arrived

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Can you get any reading on what he is doing?

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Firing

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Working on it Captain.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Aye :: brings the ship to 1000 meter above the MK-X  and then rolls her over an comes back down the other side::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::sees the flicker in the damaged nacelle:: CTO: I think they are trying to undo your damage.  Why don't you show them just how rude that is.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::continues a raking fire::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: Coming back down the other side make your adjustment now.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Keep adjusting to starboard and port, bow to stern.  Don't get into a pattern.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::makes his adjustments and continues firing::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye captain have an erratic flight plan inputted in now.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Correcting targeting for course changes
 
Action: The Del's last volley took another 12% off the shields of the dreadnought.  But there is a power spike on the rear of the larger ship.  Peregrine fighters begin to launch 6 of them

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: swears again: Captain: they are launching fighters.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::swears:: CO: Fighters inbound skipper

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins another set of targeting corrections::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: This could get even more interesting

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: We got company mate

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::swears along with her crew:: OPS/CTO: Okay boys, we've had our fun.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Plot a course for the middle of the badlands.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CTO: I see them. shall we run right through them :: smiles::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: plots the course:: Ready when you are.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: I won’t fire till I see the whites of their eyes

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: Dump 10 torpedoes behind us on a remote detonation.  Spread them out along the path the fighters will take.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: On it skipper

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Keep an eye on the fighters.
 
Action: The fighters take a standard Delta attack pattern

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::begins to do as the skipper instructed and begins to lay the Del’s eggs::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Mines away skipper

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Engage warp one.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO/OPS: They are coming in at us in a Delta attack pattern

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: ETA until they engage?

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: sees the flight pattern of the fighter:: CTO: you would think these guy are fighting some one that doesn't know Starfleet patterns.

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Engaging now Captain :: brings the ship to warp one::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: As soon as the fighters reach the area of the torpedoes, sing out.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye ::tries to reconfigure sensors to get more distance::  A minute to weapons range, Ma'am
 
Action: The launchers begin to lay the torpedoes out, as the Del goes to warp OPS' board shows intermix manifold temps to be 20% higher than usual

CO_Capt_Kal says:
CTO: When she hits the high note...fire them  off.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
OPS: Damn amateurs

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
CO: Aye skipper

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: On it

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::prepares to detonate the mines::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: Put every ounce of power to our aft shields...this is not going to be pretty.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Stand ready

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
XO: Ready

CO_Capt_Kal says:
XO: Call all hands to brace for impact.
 
Action: The fighters begin their attack run, they are having to compensate for manual targeting

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: informs ME of the intermix Temp problem:: CO : Captain the intermix manifold temps are 20% higher than they should be. We won't be able to hold this long.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: Aye  *Ship wide* All hands brace for impact.  ::also sends orders for those still in and near the aft section to move forward::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye Captain :: reroutes as much power to the Aft shields as he can::

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::stands ready to detonate::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CO: I've also had those in the aft part to move forward

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: They're there!

CO_Capt_Kal says:
OPS: If this works, we won't have to run as faast..and if it doesn't...we won't be able to run as fast...so either way...we're good.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::hits the detonator:: Self: In your eye Palmer

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: Hit it!

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
ALL: Fire in the hole

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Roger Captain I will keep an eye on it anyway.

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::goes and sits down:: All: brace for the explosion boys and girls.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::holds his console and readies himself::

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
:: wraps his feet around his chair::

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
::hopes that everyone has moved away from aft, then wraps her left leg around the chair base and holds on with her right hand, while tapping the board with her left hand::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::mutters:: I guess we'll see if this ship is a s tough as she is reputed to be.
 
Action: There is a huge explosion behind the Delphyne, apparently some of the nebulas explosive gasses decided to lend a hand.  The fighters are disintegrated, but there is one hell of a shockwave coming
 
OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Incoming shock wave.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
Out loud: Oh frack this is gonna hurt

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::hears the warnings:: OPS: Open her up as fast as she'll go...let's ride this wave if possible.

CTO_LtCmdr_McQueen says:
::holds fast::

CO_Capt_Kal says:
::grins at the bridge crew:: All: I always wanted to go surfing.

XO_Cmdr_Llynisika says:
CTO: I think that's an understatement

OPS_Cmdr_Twelk says:
CO: Aye captain :: bring the ship to the max warp that he can in the badlands::
 
Action: The Del begins to increase speed but it’s not enough.  The shock wave hits the Excelsior class, rocking it hard.  Sending object onto the deck, people onto the deck, objects into people.  When the ship comes to rest they find themselves in the asteroid belt they were headed for in the first place. Damage is minimal to the ship, more to the crew than anything.  And there is no sign of the USS Dominion.
