Host Tim says:
45 minutes ago the Dublin was able to observe the rendezvous on sensors. Short range sensors showed the following ships gathered: Nighthawk and 2 ships of its wing; 13 Coobla ally ships (fighters and support vessels); the Vesuvius was approaching from V'Rax home world with its wing, Shurken, Rapier, and Javeliln; Seleya; and 13 Nacandarian vessels.

Host Tim says:
Minutes before the Dublin dropped from warp the Nacandarian vessels opened fire on the other Fed ships and the Coobla. Dublin entered the battle and defended the most damaged allied vessels.

Host Tim says:
Four Nacandarian vessels broke from the battle and headed toward the "tunnel".  Both the Vesuvius and Dublin wings are in pursuit two light years behind and just fired two torpedoes.

*Dr. Taurek*:  We would should be receiving casualties from the Chieftain.  Please have a triage setup in one of the cargo bays, too.

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
CO: Kurris has minimal damages now, Captain.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CEO:  Send the fire control teams.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::works with the Chieftain OPS and gets the injured to sickbay first and then the rest to various cargo bays::

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::feels a sick feeling in her gut as the deflector dish is mentioned, her worry redoubled again for the chief::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Glances at OPS then at her own scanners as she checks the area waiting to raisee the shields.::

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: trying to route power around the damage to the deflector :: CO: I am working on it Captain, repairing during a battle is quite distracting

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
XO:  Make sure everyone coming aboard will make a visit to the Doctor, Tessa.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CEO:  I know.  ::smiles::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::shakes head::  CSO:  A shame.

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::feels some dark satisfaction with the CSO's report of no survivors::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  What is the Chieftain status?  Repairable?

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::turns in her seat and nods at the CTO, as if thanking her for carrying out retribution for her::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
<Dr Taurek> *XO*:  Receiving the wounded now. I will process all the incoming Chieftain crew members according to protocol and have a report to you.  Please have the operations person find suitable quarters for those who treated and functioning normally.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Eyes lock with Sirtas and she returns the nod a bit sadly as she can guess where the others thoughts lay.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  As soon as we have the last survivor beamed over, resume course.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CTO: Just a few more minutes.  Pulling the bodies over to the morgue.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
*Dr Taurek*:  I will pass that on to Ms Clooney.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: Chieftain is repairable...

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
SO: I noticed you fell apart when you received the news about the Mr. Kincaid and I am sorry but can I speak freely with you?

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Yes Captain.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
OPS: Understood Ops.

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::nods at her CSO:: CSO: Of course, sir.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Understood.  ::nods::

::Thinks to self, he is thinking it!::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: Aye Sir...

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::looks at Cassie, but prefer not to answer her question::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::shakes her hands tiredly and sits back in her chair with a 'whew'.  Now sets to and starts reordering quarters so that the Chieftain crew can be accommodated.

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::looks at the CO, and understands his position, knowing that friendly technology can't be left in the hands of the opposition::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Thinks to self, I hate this part of my job, locks phasers onto the Chieftain’s warp core.::

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
SO: Never starts a payback. I saw you started to work harder trying to find the most weakly points at the Nacandarian ships. It was needed here but I need your mind to be always intact in duty. If you want to unburden later, be my guest. But for now, let's do our job.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: Ready Sir.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO; Sir...would you like for me to have the Chieftain Captain brought to the bridge for this?

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Reluctantly she places her hand over the fire controls a pained look on her face.:: CO: Standing by.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::leans backward on his chair, awaiting for her report::

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::blinks at Wildstar, astounded that he noticed her reactions during the battle, and is speechless, her antennae twitch in nervousness:: CSO: Y...yes, sir.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: Captain we have reached 150,000 km. Is that far enough sir?

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::with sorrow::  OPS:  There's no time.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: monitors the damage control teams :: Himself : So this is what is meant be spending the day putting out fires

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
SO: Ok, let's get a scan on every ship here. Enemies and Feds.

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::nods, conducting her scans for her boss::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CTO:  Fire.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
CO: ::understands:: Aye sir.  I'll set him up in the VIP quarters and inform him of the status.

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
CO: Aye Sir, firing phasers...::Almost reverently she taps the console and the phaser arcs out to its target.::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
OPS:  Thank you, Mia.  Tell him I'll meet with him as soon as possible.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::watches as the Chieftain is hit by the phaser discharge::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE CHIEFTAIN EXPLODES CREATING A LARGE SHOCK WAVE

SO_PO_Sirta says:

::Closes eyes and holds on for dear life to the console.::

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
CO: Shockwave approaching.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sees it exploding::  FCO:  Go Cas, go.

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
SO: Hold on.

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: hits the button quickly :: CO: I'm trying sir.

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
:: tries to augment the shields before the wave hits ::

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::braces herself harder this time, not wanting to be tossed out of her seat again::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CEO:  Full power to aft shields!

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::looks at the Captain, wondering about his reasoning for the targeting::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Monitor that shock wave and report!

CEO_Ltjg_Kell says:
CO: Done sir, I have even cut in power from the impulse reactors.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: THE DUBLIN AND KURRIS GO TO WARP AGAIN ENROUTE TO THE TUNNEL

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Thinks to self the 24th century equal to "Oh Crap."::

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
::scanning the frequency of the shockwave::

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
XO: Yes, Ma’am.

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::tells the Kurris to scoot boot and holds on:: Self: Hoo boy....

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
::sighs in relieve::

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
::scanning the shockwave:: SO, help me with this. Too much data. ::looking at her::

:: tells the damage repair crews to brace for impact ::

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
::hangs on to her chair in anticipation::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Finally leans back in her chair in relief, disappointed about what had to happen to the Chieftain.::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
CO: On course to the tunnel sir.

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
FCO:  Thank you, Mrs. MacLeod.  ::smiles::

SO_PO_Sirta says:
::sits back easier and looks at her boss as she tries to help him zero in on the shockwave frequency::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::goes back to doubling up the Dublin crew to make room for the Chieftain's crew::

FCO_Cmdr_Adams-MacLeod says:
:: shakes her head ::

CO_Capt_MacLeod says:
CSO:  Mr. Wildstar, track the Vesuvius's wing and the Nacandarian vessels down.

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
XO: It may have little effect on the tunnel, but I can not be certain.

XO_LtCmdr_Jakiel says:
CSO:  Let's hope you are right.  We do want to get home.

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::scanning the Vesuvius and Nacandarians::

CTO_LtJg_Harker says:
::Rubs eyes, the aftereffects from the weapon on the planet combined with the battle taking its toll, she leans forward again to continue scanning.::

OPS_Ens_Clooney says:
::wonders if a certain CEO would like to share quarters.  Grins to herself as she rearranges things::

CSO_Ens_Wildstar says:
SO: Keep o very good eye on the probe. It may give us some good information about the shockwave in the tunnel.
