Host Tim says:
The Nacandarian and Cormanii ships had slipped into the nebula followed by the U.S.S. Dublin.  For twenty minutes the Dublin has observed brilliant light flashes and then felt the ship roll slightly.  Scans are intermittent and show nothing.

CO: Aye sir. All: All stations report status!

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::is continuing to attempt to restore some of their sensors and reinforce the SIF::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
FCO: Security is. Ship Weapons have to use manual tracking just now. No sensors.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
FCO: Still trying to get visuals up.  Permission to send out the communication buoys to help triangulate a little better?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
OPS: Permission granted.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>FCO: Helm is operating at nominal levels, but navigational sensors are down.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Do you think the Nacandarian are in need of subspace folding technology?  They have their own...  why would do they steal it?...  And from the Cormanii!

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::nods and launches the buoys trying to send them to the outer regions of the nebula in a triangular pattern:: FCO: Buoys away.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::At the FCO's acknowledgement, she turns back to her console.::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  I like the comm buoys idea.  Just hope it works.  ::looks at Mia and smiles::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: Does it look any better???  I tried to augment and filter out some of the static.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Sees the difference.:: EO: I owe you one, keep it up if you please, its helping I believe....

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::ducks her head and smiles as she hears the CO's words.  Watches the telemetry phase in and out as the buoys disappear into the nebula::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: All stations report operational, but sensors are intermittent and the tactical systems will have to move to manual should they be needed.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*:  As long as we don't run into any more of these corrosive pockets.  They are eating the blazes out of the hull.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::shakes her head::  CO:  I don't know. We don't know how much the Nacandarians know of the other two races.  But their timing was perfect, so they must be getting information somewhere.  Maybe they don't have the technology?  Only used it once?

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: Thanks T'Lar I think we'll have to hope helm is on their toes today then...

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::leans forward:: OPS: Anything coming in from the ones remaining Mia?

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO: They aren't originally from this area.  And they do want to settle, so they may have wanted the means to afford that.  But I think their plot was suicidal...stealing from the Cormanii.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Wonders to herself, 'Augustfratt?'.::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO Rien: Keep this course.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::nods:: CO: Aye Captain.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir, we just had another hull breach.  We need to get out of this soup.  I am trying to reinforce the SIF.  I am also trying to get some ideas of what else I can do to keep us intact.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Maybe you're right... maybe they don't know the Cormanii at all.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: Do you need any security to back up your repair teams?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
FCO: Nothing on external comms is working...but short range sensors are picking up a possible ion trail 90 degrees starboard.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: A BRIGHT FLASH FROM STARBOARD... A BAD ESTIMATE OF 80, 000 KM DISTANCE

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::frowns::  *EO*:  What do you mean 'another' hull breach?  Did we have one before?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*OPS*: You mentioned to the CEO that you had a plan or a way to increase the use of the view screen.  You think you might be able to help me out with the SIF?

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Could those flashes be from weapon's fire from the other ships?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, we may have found them. Shall I have Rien change course to see if we can pick up that trail?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Do it.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
FCO: There are flashes approximately 80 thousands klicks starboard.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*:  The hull breach is small and yes there was a tiny breach but the internal force fields where in place.  The corrosiveness of these pockets of gases is eating our Primary Hull.  The Secondary hull is not affected yet.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
*CEO*: I can route more power to the SIF.  That should hold for a little longer.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, come on years of childhood interactive games...::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::tries to figure out something that wouldn't put the ship at risk, mumbles about useless energy weapons.::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  What about the metal particles?  Any indications about what were they?

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::thinks of the metallic particles::  CO:  What composition are those metallic particles?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::three more green lights go red::  All: Light up the force fields and get them into place now around the critical areas.  Gamma team deploy to all critical ODN conduits and check for ruptures.  Zeta team deploy to all Plasma relays in critical areas and report what you find.  ALL of us need to be alert now.  Please keep your eyes open.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::takes Mackie's hand:: CO: It will be alright.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, ok no explosives.:: *CEO*: Can we use the ship locking beam as a repulsor beam?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::blinks at the analysis:: CO: Sir...the particles are from a Ferengi torpedo.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir that last explosion caused some more damage to our Primary hull.  The breaches are small but I don't know for how long.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::gently rubs Cassie's hand::  OPS:  What?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: As for the ion trail....the wave is making it hard to follow consistently but it appears to be Cormanii and possibly Nacandarian.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*:  You can use the tractor beam as a repulsor beam.  Just reverse the flow back through the secondary field coils.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: Will it work in this nebula?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Keep patching it the way you can.  Do your best.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::gets a worried look on her face:: CO: Mackie, I have to check on the children.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: A Ferengi torpedo....maybe the Cormanii 'acquired' them and are using them on the Nacandarians.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Would be the best explanation.  ::stands::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Hopes the EO answers in affirmative, its her only plan at the moment.::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  I'd rather have you here.  Talk to Mrs. Grace and ask about them... in my Ready Room.  And be fast.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::continues to follow the coordinates of the ion trail anyway::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  At least we don't have Nacandarians debris out there... yet.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::nods:: CO: Of course Captain. ::heads to the ready room quickly::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: T'Lar are you there?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sweeps the sensors back and forth along the ion trail like a dog casting for the scent.  Picks up bits and pieces...enough to hopefully give proper coordinates to Rien::

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  But how do we know that the metallic particles aren't from them?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO Rien:  Do the ion trails take us out by any chance from the gas pockets?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: Make the repulsor beam into a "V" shape like they used on ancient earth trains.  I believe that they called them cow something or else.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: This way we might be able to push the pockets as well away from the ship as we go.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: Understood T'Lar, if this works, first drinks on me...

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: And if not the first drinks are on me...

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Could the flashes be from weapon's fire and the wave and particles from a ship destroyed?

Host Tim says:
ACTION: A LARGE OPENING APPEARS IN FRONT OF THE DUBLIN; THE CORMANII SHIP IS 160, KM AWAY, THE OTHER ION TRAIL LEDS IN FRONT OF THEM

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::contacts her quarters:: Nanny Grace: Nanny, it's Cassie. I need to know how the children are after that wave hit.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  The little sensors we have indicate the particles are from a Ferengi torpedo... which indicates the Cormanii are really annoying when they want something.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: I'll hold you to it.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: As will I.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::sings out:: CO: Sir! Cormanii ship dead ahead....160 klicks away.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, I hope we live through this...::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  Perhaps... or perhaps from phaser or disruptor blasts, igniting the gas pockets, like we did a few minutes ago.  ::shakes head::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: T'Lar and I think we can use the tractor beam as a repulsor and push items out of our way.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::nods::  CO:  I see.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: No sir but......look sir, an opening!

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  What's the Cormanii ship's status?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
*CO*: Right away Captain. ::closes the comm to Nanny and heads back to the bridge::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: The sensors are still a little mucky from the nebula but best guess is 178 life signs on board.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir did we leave the nebula??? The sensor grids just cleared out.  I have clear and normal signals.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: Checking. ::changes taskings smoothly as she checks readouts...such as they are.

FCO Rien:  Stand by.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Are we able to continue with our course back into the nebula?

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Scanning, sir.  It's a little hard because they are back in the nebula again.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::flinches at sight of the explosion, but can't sense if they were hurt::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: Last sensor reading there was some life sign still on board.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::Does her best to keep an eye on the Cormanii and assist in reversing the tractor beam as much as she can.::

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  I'm really thinking twice if we should bring Cormanii survivors onboard.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: I would assume so if we get that repulsor beam working by the time we head in.  Alpha Team is in the tractor beam room doing the changes manually.  They should be done momentarily.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks at her husband:: CO: Perhaps with the damage to the Dublin we should break off the chase.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO/FCO: I agree with the Captain they pose a security threat.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CO:  Sir, we could not in good conscience leave anyone to die, could we?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: As long as we are careful and not hit any more pockets of corrosive gas.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: Though maybe them a little more than us..

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CMO:  I know Doctor... I know.  ::sighs::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::looks back at the CO for a moment and then nods:: CO: Aye sir.  My best guess is that they only have about 20 hours of life support left.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Dodging these pockets while in the nebula with out our sensors is not my idea of fun.  If one explodes any where near us it could throw us into one or more other pockets.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Do you still have the Cormanii ship within sensor range?

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CO: No Sir they are not in sensor range.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
::walks over near Harker:: CTO:  If we have them come onboard, it would be best you take the anti-radiation drug just in case.  I'll have Doctor Taurek work with your TO to have the field block the radiation.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Mackie, we have to let them go. We need repairs and we can't do that in the nebula.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CMO: Thanks Doc...I'm not real comfortable with this you know...

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
<Alpha Team> EO: Sir, all modifications to the tractor beam have been completed and simulations have been run.  You have a repulsor beam.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  I do not intend to leave this nebula without an answer.

::outloud::  Yessssss!!!!!  Way to go Alpha Team!!

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CTO:  None of us are.  But we will try to be as ready as possible.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Engineering? What about the repulsor beam?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*Alpha Team*: Good work you earned your pay this month.  Stay there incase something goes wrong.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Better to fight another day Captain. We have to get out of here to make repairs and let Starfleet know what is happening.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO?CTO*: Sir, You got your repulsor beam.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: Thanks T'Lar. Much obliged.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::gives a little whoop:: CO: Sir!  I got the trail again!.  We can follow them both.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: Any time.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>CO: Orders sir?

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*EO*: Acknowledge.  ::looks at his wife::  FCO:  We may not have another chance to find what's going on.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Resume course.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Make sure you can do the appropriate repairs during the trip.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
<Rien>::nods:: CO: Aye sir, resuming course.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::sits back and sighs::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CMO: I'm very sure I don't want them on board, but what can we do...

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Sir I have a great engineering staff hear and they know their jobs.  Any and all repairs will be handled instantly during our trip.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
*EO*:  Good.  Keep me posted.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
*EO*: Can we route the repulsor through my station?

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CTO: My conscience would not let me withhold help.  Who knows where a compassionate hand may lead?

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::knows that she needs time to meditate but at the moment she can't so she closes her eyes as she hears the Captain and the CTO::

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CO*: Understood sir.

Host CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sits and whispers::  FCO:  I hope you understand, Cas...  can't let it go.

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
::She sighs:: CMO: I know but it may just as well bite us in the rear, I hope you're proved right.

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: Yes I can.  ::hits a few buttons and the repulsor beam is routed to the CTO's console::

CTO_Ens_Harker says:
CMO: It’s a risk but I don't see what else we can do..

EO_T`Lar_Bishara says:
*CTO*: You have it.  It is in your hands now.

CMO_Lt_Jakiel_OMallory says:
CTO:  And it did once before.  That's how we came to have the Dublin.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
::looks into her husband's eyes:: CO: I understand, but I don't agree with the decision Captain.
