Host FM_Selan says:
Previously on Star Trek: A Call To Duty - U.S.S. Elara ...

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The defeat of the Elara at the hands of the Bellicose. Large cruisers swinging around an already crippled Nebula Class starship as they let loose with all the weapons they have … a close up of the dead eyes of Captain Harison as the bridge explodes around him.
 
Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The shadowed being's journey to the Ether … the familiar sound of silky voices uttering things that cannot be understood … flash to the bare bodies of the Elara crew laying within a scorched circle of earth upon a Rhengorian mountaintop.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The frantic personnel at Research Facility Alpha setting up for the mysterious "aliens" whom are actually the Elara senior crew. Flash to Maor waking up, confused within his room, and then to his meeting with Leios.

Host FM_Selan says:
Dr_Leios says:
Maor: First things first, I am called Adien Leios, what do your people call you?

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
Leios: My name is Maor.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: Maor's first encounter with the seemingly catatonic crew of the Elara, "By the name of the prophets…" Flash to the arrival of the Champion Guard, "We have been sent by the Hierarchy to see through the termination of the hostiles."

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The escape. Leios bursting through the defenses with the large van that holds all those she trusts, and all those she is giving up everything to save. Watkins soon following suit in a military jeep.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The chase through the mountains … the Champion Guard helicopter bearing down on Corey's jeep. Followed soon by the Aegis Cruiser approaching Rhengorian orbit.

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Horatio says:
ACTION: Meanwhile, the Aegis Cruiser takes orbit ... in it's command center various Aegis move around quickly, looking at sensor reports from the surface. One reports, "There is no sign of the Omega Particle ... or any resounding energy effects. There's nothing of interest here ..."

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Horatio says:
ACTION: Back up above, Aran is troubled and walks over to the science console from where this was reported, "Are you absolutely sure?" The Aegis responds, "Yes." Ens. Raythan rubs her arms behind him, "Guess this was just a waste of time, eh?"

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Horatio says:
ACTION: Suddenly, both Raythan and Aran are jolted by a child's scream, "No!" The entire Aegis bridge crew turns to see Shane standing in his pajamas at the back of the bridge.

Host FM_Selan says:
Host Horatio says:
ACTION: Raythan turns with concern, "Shane ..." "You can't go! Mummy's down there! So's daddy!"

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: The arrival at the plateau where the crew was found … Maor getting out in the middle of the snowstorm with Watkins as the helicopter arrives … the final fight is about to begin. However, the Aegis arrives, and they are saved with the destruction of the helicopter, and the death if the Guard's leader.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: Maor & Leios' goodbye as he stands on the floating platform … the Aegis Cruiser looming menacingly behind him.

Host FM_Selan says:
Dr_Leios says:
Maor: All I ask is evidence, how little it maybe that you exist. I need to prove to this short sighted, single-minded race of mind that we are not alone

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
::Nods slowly, he sighs:: Leios: Think of what we gave you, you now know we're out there.. That's the best proof you can get, the proof to your self.

Host FM_Selan says:
Dr_Leios says:
Maor: You are right on that. I will never stop searching for more evidence now. Have a good life Maor .. your friends too

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: Maor floating upward into the Aegis Cruiser. Flash to Aran walking through the cruiser's medical bay, the Elara senior crew laying on bio-beds … silently staring up into the ceiling. He gently brushes a strand of Ruskinara's hair off her face … and then turns & walks out, turning off the lights in the room.

Host FM_Selan says:
SCENE: Fade out.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::on the bridge of the Montgomery at Science One::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Defiant Class U.S.S. Montgomery has just dropped from warp in the patrol region.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::on the Bridge at TAC, stooped menacingly over the console flexing his metal robotic arm::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::in main engineering working on a side project::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::turns to Blackheart:: CTO: Any other ships nearby?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::as the ship comes out of warp she begins running sweeps of the region::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Nearby is the Geiko Space Cloud, an recently formed offshoot of the Madtion / Leopold nebulae as a result of the Omega Fountain detonation ... although few know that.

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::on the bridge standing by science station::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Pacing around the sickbay as he inspects the Elara crew, he sighs deeply as he pauses near the Captain. Glancing at the medical file behind him he shakes his head as he notices no changes, he turns around and heads towards the SO::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::prepares the database for cataloguing the Nebula while she reads the data on the region::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::Glances at the display:: CO: nothing yet Cap'n, when i see something you`ll be the first to know muhaha ::chuckle::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::tinkers with the frequencies of the magnetic field.. tuning it and watching the monitor on a small device attached via wire to her gizmo::

Host Aran says:
@ ::Enters into the med. bay and sees Maor moving around:: CIV: I thought I would find you here.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::flips a switch and jumps from a tap on the shoulder as an engineer hands her a padd::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: Sensors detect 4 minor federation warp trails. Three seam to correspond to the freighters identified previously. The forth is unidentified.. but its federation

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::fiddles with something beneath his eye patch:

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO: or at least its engines are

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::reads over the padd as one of her tools drag across the table toward her gizmo.. looks at the EO and huffs as her screw drive goes past her hand on the table::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: Indeed

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::raises his eyebrow in a pseudo Vulcan gesture::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CO: captain.. we got something for you.. and you may not like it..

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Pausing, he turns and glances the sickbay doors. He considers something for a moment before turning around and inspecting the SO's file, he frowns as he finds nothing has changes. Turning around at the sound of Aran, he glances at him for a moment in silence:: Aran: Nothing goes by you, doesn't it? ::Turns back to the SO:: I take it you don't have any good news for me?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::notes Blackheart has been increasing his maniacal laughter recently:: CSO: Unidentified?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CTO: But in that case so are  the weapons... If you can confirm there are federation weapons signatures. phasers and photon torpedoes.. latest model. All corresponding with the data on the freighters

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CSO: can we at least match the unidentified signature with a type of vessel, size?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: Yes sir, I can't match it to any ship in the database

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::still at impulse she turns and glances at the CO::

Host Aran says:
@ ::Steps forward, hands clasped behind his robed back:: CIV: Nothing that you don't already know. Using the information you have already provided us ... well, we have been unable to determine how exactly you arrived on the Rhengorian homeworld. Do you recall the senior crew rushing to an escape pod?

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::grabs her screw driver and looks at her gizmo.. huffs and turns it off while waiting for an answer from the bridge::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CO: sir?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::scans the data & nods in agreement with the CSO::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::shakes head:: XO: The trail is to faint to detect what type of engine produced it

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::quite abruptly states:: CO: You wish to maintain this course and speed Sir?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
*CEO* Go ahead.

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CSO: acknowledged, could we send a probe in? would that give us a better...closer scan?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: For now...hold course and speed.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::stares at the data on the screen almost as if she were alone in the room with that screen::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Shakes his head, he turns again:: Aran: No, I was on an AT to the Bellicose ship. We were trying to help them ::Snorts:: Until they woke up that is ::His eyes narrow in anger:: It was a trap all along, I should have known so. ::Sighs:: They started attacking the Away Team, the last thing I remember is feeling intense pain from my arm.. ::Pauses:: A strange warmth surrounded me afterwards, then I felt darkness. ::Pauses:: Familiar darkness, death if you will.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CO: there was a minute fluctuations in the warp field as we approached the patrol region.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks up:: XO: Yes, I believe that would be a good idea

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CO:  There is a chance the closer the ship gets to the "dead zone" that subspace communications, and sensors will be disrupted. Forming warp fields may be a problem too.

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::has already turned her back again and nods as she keeps a close watch on there location making sure they remain on course::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::prepares a probe to scan the warp trails more closely::

Host Aran says:
@ ::If he still had an eyebrow, he would have raised it:: CIV: You believe you died?

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::nods in agreement as she hears the CEO::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CSO: launch the probe when ready

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: The feeling felt familiar, if it was death I do not know. To be honest, I don't really think it matters.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::nods to the XO, makes a few adjustments and launches the probe to the location of the warp trail residues::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: we are sending a probe to get a better scan to identify the signature

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::adjust her gizmo's magnetic again.. and turns it back on.. this time the screw drives gets pushed out of her hand:: self: no that’s not it.. ::looks at the monitoring device and taps her finger on her chin as an EO looks her direction and then at the screw drive that’s attached to the wall::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
XO: Understood.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::monitors the telemetry::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
*CEO* Acknowledged Lieutenant.  Keep me inform.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CTO: What do you make of these weapons signatures. What kind of fight happened here?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::sits back in his chair and sighs::  FCO: How close does that unknown warp trail take us to the dead zone?

Host Aran says:
ACTION: A sole probe is launched from the Montgomery toward the located trails.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CO: Aye sir.. ::trots over to get the screw driver and looks at it.. it has an ionic charge and sticking to the wall like a magnet::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::pauses for thought::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::stands next too science as they work monitoring there work, waiting for the probes telemetry::

Host Aran says:
@ ::Thinks about it:: CIV: You have ... perished in the past. For short periods of time ... correct?

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
CO: I have no information which would help determine that at present.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::hands it off to an EO and picks her padd back up.. before heading to the warp monitoring station:: EO: bring up the plasma curve on console 3 and lets see where the break was

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Nods:: Aran: I know what you're thinking, I've thought about it as well. But it just doesn't make sense, at all the other cases something else brought me back.. I didn-.. ::Pauses:: Do you think someone.. something else is involved in this?

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
CO: Sir, we appear to be close to a buoy, It is Starfleet, It is relaying a message.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CSO: looks like the vessel which was at co-ordinates 835 by 623 by 295 performed the Heimlich maneuver - a tactical mistake for sure ::Grins:: Muhahahawawaw

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::watches the curve record flux and wave on the screen before just stopping.. :: EO: Hmm.. time frame on that reading?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: On screen.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::watches as the EO points to the screen and someone else reports a feed back on the subspace communications::

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::nods again without a word she does as she is asked::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::nods to the CTO:: CTO: That would indeed be typical in a battle with such freighters ... it still gives us no important data. ::Goes back to monitoring the probe telemetry::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The message comes over the comm. system automatically, "Attention. This area is restricted and off limits to all ships as per Joint Alpha & Beta Quadrant Power resolution Two-Omega-Delta. Entrance into this region is extremely dangerous, and violation of said regulations may result in arrest and trial by Universal law."

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CTO: any weapons signatures in there area of the freighters?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::wonders why they weren't told of this law::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: did you have the sensors running during time frame 34:08:02 to 35:03:99?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::scans the area of the freighters looking for an answer to the XO`s query::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*Yes Lt, I've been running cyclic sweeps since we approached this region

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
XO: nothing recent sir

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: can you send me down the logs?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: The probe data on the trail has come ... the trail leads to the Geiko space cloud

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::nods:: FCO: Now that we've been duly warned, set a course to follow that unknown ion trail and engage, full impulse.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO: Very well.....does the message buoy keep sensor logs?

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: I recall your previous experiences with "death" ... the body of a being is a truly remarkable thing. With the proper technology one can be saved from the darkness that reaches out ... technically you were merely lost to a coma of the body.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*Certainly ::compiles a sensor log for the time frame the CEO wishes and sends it down to her:: CEO: The data is still raw I haven't had the time to catalogue it, but its all there

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::brings the sensor logs that the CSO sent down up on console 2 and watches the two time clips run side by side::

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::immediately sets the course:: CO: Aye Sir. 

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: thanks

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: This was evident by the Borg technique in which they used their nano-technology to revive you ... the same goes for the so-called "Shadowman" and the technology he used to "resurrect" you after killing you as an example ...

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: Where are you going with this?

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: ... and then again when your fellow Starfleet officers saved you from your "suicide" after you saved them.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::isolates the drop in subspace back ground noise and the  corresponding dip in the warp feild::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: No sir, there are no sensor logs recorded on the buoy...it just sends that message

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: this area of space seems to get more complex every time we or Starfleet come here

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO, Understood.

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The Montgomery comes about, and proceeds toward the Geiko space cloud.

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::turns raising an eyebrow at the CSO:: 

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Snorts:: Aran: I had no choice, and I really don't think you're the one to question me about that case. ::Glances away, he frowns::

Host Aran says:
@ ::Shakes his head:: CIV: I am just thinking ... none of this makes sense ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks for a second at the FCO's risen eyebrow and then looks back at the information on the cloud::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
XO: I guess that’s what happens when you loose so many ships mysteriously in one area.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: I think i know how to stabilize the warp field.. is the deflector dish still up or are you still using it for scans?

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: I still think something.. someone was involved in our resurrection..

Host Aran says:
@ ::Looks at Mireille who is sleeping peacefully:: CIV: When you were "lost" in the past, it was always within a 48 hour period that you were brought back ... your brushes with death were quick. That provided for your friends and enemies to bring you back easily. But ... if you did indeed die at the hands of the Bellicose ... who brought you back?

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: yes it make me want to find out more

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*: I'm using it to enhance scanners but I can go back to using only the main sensor arrays. Stabilizing the warp field is a priority if we want to get out

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: How can we be sure that you died and were resurrected in the first place? For all we know you were left to die and somehow found your way there ...

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: There is simply not enough information.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: To be honest, I thought it was you ::Smiles faintly:: Maybe we should go back to where the Elara was destroyed, maybe we could find something there?

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: Its too far away, and in the wrong direction. We're trying to head back to normal space.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO: Anything on sensors yet?

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: I found a correlation between the neutrons spinning backwards and the drop in the warp field.. I want you to use the deflector dish to attract positive Catiton and collect them.. if we flush them into the deflector grid it should maintain the warp field till we get out oe here.. it's a quick and messy fix but it's better than nothing

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::shakes her head:: CO: not much sir, the trail is more distinct now but that is all

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: I have a feeling our best chance to find out why your crew are lost in this ... coma, is with the remainder of the Aegis. And the only way to get to them is by leaving this subspace dead zone.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: you'll just have to tune your sensors for the heightened positive back ground noise

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
CO: ETA Seven minutes? Would you like to come to a stop once we arrive?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*I agree and I think that can in the end increase sensor resolution because there will be less interference. I'll make the modifications

Host Aran says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Enters the medical bay:: Aran & CIV: Oh ... hello Aran. ::Looks at Maor:: Sir.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: Full stop when we reach the cloud.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: Back there? ::Shakes his head:: I thought I'll never return to that ::Lowers his tone of voice:: place ::returns to normal:: again.. ::Frowns:: We must contact Starfleet first, surely they'll want to know what happened.. However, they might demand for us to return ::Glances at the direction of the SO again:: And that might be their death. ::Shakes his head::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::makes the adjustments to sensors that the CEO suggested::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: we should approach with caution, we dont want to add to Starfleet's already missing list ::grins::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: I'm still working on communications

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::nods and prepares to stop at the edge of the cloud::

Host Aran says:
@ ::Turns to the young Starfleet officer:: Raythan: Leia ... can we help you?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*We probably will have time to try everything .. or not

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::nods to the XO:: CTO: Shield status?

Host Aran says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Shakes her head:: Aran: No, I was just coming to check up on the others. ::Looks over at the Elara crew::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances at Raythan:: Raythan: Have you contacted your family yet?

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: or not?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CO: shields are fine Cap`n

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*Who knows what is at the end of this warp trail

Host Aran says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Shakes her head:: CIV: No, sir. We haven't been able to get any form of communication out of the dead zone ... I was hoping to get in contact with my brother on the Quirinus once we got out of here. I remember the Fifth Fleet being nearby when the entire mess happened months back ...

Host Aran says:
@ Raythan: Keep in mind that was, as you said, months ago ... the chances of any major Starfleet forces being in the area are slim.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::begins the catiton flush thru the deflector grid and watches the warp core flux as it re adjust to the new spatial charge around the ship::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Glances back at Aran:: Aran: What about search parties, you didn't get any reports of them?

Host Aran says:
@ ::Still wondering why exactly Maor has suggested they "died and were resurrected." Always suspected that as a result of his previous brushes with death [and temporal excursions] that he could ... feel things that others couldn't::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: warp trail? do i wanna know..?

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: We detected a few Starfleet signatures briefly. But before we could investigate, they would be gone ...

Host Aran says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Coughs at Aran's remark::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::continues monitoring sensors - trying to scan the cloud  with LRS::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO* You will soon ...

Host Aran says:
@ ::Looks at Raythan:: CIV: ... and, we assisted a Federation starship in escaping death at the hands of an interdimensional entity with whom I believe you are acquainted ...

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::Slows to the ship to a stop and states without expression:: CO: Full stop sir, Here is your cloud.

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The blue-gray cloud is small in comparison to the former Madtion / Leopold nebulae.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::frowns and looks back to the warp field:: *Bridge* CO: the warp field has stabilized.. and she is burning hot.. but don't get us to close to the dead area.. or this fix will be more messy then it is now.. 

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: On screen.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Raises an eyebrow, he glances back at Raythan and then back at Aran:: Aran: Go on..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: If this is anything like the old Nebula we won't have much sensor resolution ... if any

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::tilts her head slightly as she looks at the cloud on the viewscreen::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CO: Cap`n we have a ship incoming!

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::Raises shields::

Host Aran says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Speaks up first:: CIV: The Black Goo Entity ... Cmdr. Gomes told me about it once.

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CTO: who is it, can we identify it?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: The ship matches the trail we were following ..but it will take a couple of minutes to identify it

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::Scans the approaching vessel:

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::looks over at the deflectors as the positive charge increases.. since the tactical shields have been activated.. grumbles and lowers the inflow of catitons.. and realigns the tactical shields to compensate for the higher positive charge::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: A dark shape can be seen on screen, approaching quickly.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Nods:: Raythan, Aran: What ship was it?

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: The Montgomery I believe ... and a Klingon Starship was as well there, the Urn'Vek.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::almost frowns looking at the darken shape on her screens::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::looks at the viewscreen trying to identify it himself, looking with uncertain::

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::punches in some coordinates to move the ship if it should become necessary:: *CEO*: I am guessing there is still no warp available to us?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
XO: it looks like a nebula class

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::re-sets the communication grid to work off positive cati-sub space particles.. so it can cut clean thru the negative back flow from the dead zone..::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CTO: Put it on screen, yellow alert.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* FCO: you got full warp as long as you don’t take a field trip into dead space

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CTO: what? Nebula Class?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CO: Aye Cap`n

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::Switches the view to the starship:: XO: Aye - Nebula

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: It appears to be a modified Nebula Class ship, the pod was replaced by an unidentified object and something is not right with one of the nacelles

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@ Aran: Right, the Montgomery … ::Glances down for a moment:: So do you mind telling me what happened after you found the Elara? ::Continues:: Or what was left of her..

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The vessel is zoomed in on ... and we see a Nebula Class Starship that has been through a bad paint job, most of its gray-blue hull marked with dark green. There is obvious battle damage all over it, and its sensor pod has been replaced by what appears to be a canon.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CTO: Can you get a registry number?

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
*CEO*: Thank you. I do not intend to try that just yet.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/CTO/XO: It almost looks like it was refit for battle .. and that change in the nacelle could be what aloud it to have warp

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::loking at he Canon:: All: nice piece of work! - i want one 

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
All: what kind of modification is that? I have never seen anything like it

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: It is strange but this ship is registered on the database as the USS Elara

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: you got communications.. they might even poke in the dead zone for.. a few hundred kilometers before getting eaten up

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: And the replacement of the pod is a bellicose polaron canon, our shields are no match for them

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::raises an eyebrow:: CSO: Harison's ship?  But it was reported destroyed....

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CO: USS Elara, that is one of the ship missing from the incident months ago

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The name "U.S.S. Elara" has been badly painted over with the S.S. Glory ...

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO: NCC 64224 ..I have no doubts this is the ship presumed destroyed

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::looks even more intently at the screen now::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CSO: Life signs?

Host Aran says:
ACTION: ... and suddenly, phaser bursts leap out from the "Glory" and strike the Montgomery hard. The ship shakes as the "Glory" bears down on them.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*All right but warp should be the priority now...we may have to escape this place fast

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::grips his chair:: FCO: Whoever they are they aren’t friendly, all about, take us out of here.

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: We continued searching for any survivors ... and came across Leia here.

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::is almost knocked off his feet::

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: And your son.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CO/XO: They have sensor disruption fields along with transport inhibitors

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::growls angrily::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The "Glory" doesn't give them a chance, two torpedoes are launched from the ship's sole remaining torpedo tube [aft] ... both swing around and strike the Defiant Class Starship dead on.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: Tell me Aran, what are you going to do once we'll reach normal space?

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::gets shaken not stirred in Main Engineering:: Ahh! ::watches her gizmo fall off the table and get stuck to the ceiling.. blinks and decides to figure that one out later:: 

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: Try to help your friends ...

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::starts to move the ship::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The Montgomery comes about.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CSO: you have all the warp i can get you with out getting out and pushing the blasted ship!

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CTO: hull plating status?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CTO: Return aft torpedo fire, gives us some cover.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: I can't help but wonder what you get out of this ::Glances around:: Surely you have something in mind?

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: Full power to engines.

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::only moving at full impulse:: CO: Any preferred speed or destination sir? At present we are just going?

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*I hope that is enough ...

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
*Bridge* CO:  Port and aft shields down to 89%.. those stupid.. what hit us!

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::begins covering fire as the Montgomery retreats::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: Pick a direction out of here and take it Ensign!

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
XO: the hull is intact for now

Host Aran says:
@ ::Rolls eyes:: CIV: For a veteran Starfleet officer such as you, you are quite paranoid.

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The Montgomery lets loose with aft torpedoes which strike the “Glory” hard on ... practically shattering some of its shields.

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CTO: nice shooting Cmdr.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Aran: You gave me all the reasons to be paranoid near you ::Glances back:: Shane is enough reasons to be paranoid. ::Glances back at him:: And that bring me to the next question, what are your plans for Shane?

Host Aran says:
ACTION: They respond with a barrage of whatever phaser power they have left.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CO: cap`n their shields are weak - we have a chance to take them out!

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::nods:: CO: I have chosen the direction. ::sets evasive maneuvers for the Glory’s next round::

Host Aran says:
@ ::Tenses at that question:: CIV: I suppose that is up to you ... do you or his mother intend to keep the child? Or send him off somewhere to be watched by those who could care less of him?

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
XO: dont be so surprised -im not here for my good looks ::Laughs manically::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CTO: That easily?

Host Aran says:
ACTION: Lights on the "Glory's" canon begin to glow blue ...

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CO: Offence is the best form of defense apparently

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::stares at the magnetic gizmo and thinks::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
All: the Canon is powering up

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: All about, take us at them.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::Targets the Canon with phaser & fires::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::looks for an escape route .. if there is one::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
CTO: Target that cannon, disable it.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Shakes his head:: Aran: Shane will not be leaving, not now, not anytime soon.

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::brings the ship about::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
Oh! *Bridge* CSO: charge the deflector dish with catitons and fire at the attacker.. the shields are back feeding polarons..

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
CTO: perhaps the weakest point of the canon is where it links with the saucer

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::Shouts to the viewscreen:: Come get some!

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The Montgomery comes about, and the CTO lets loose with a pulse phaser barrage ... destroying the remainder of the "Glory's" shields.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::with the shields down locks targeting scanners on the canons fixing points & fires::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: At which point, the canon fires. A massive burst of polaron energy slams the Montgomery. All forward and port shields are destroyed. Hull breaches ripple across the lower decks ... power to several systems goes off.

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The crew are hurled about ...

Host Aran says:
ACTION: ... as the ship spins out of control for a moment.

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: So it is now that you show interest for the child? I seem to recall you not caring about him in the past!

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::grips the sides of his chair as the ship is hurled about:: CTO: Target the cannon and fire!

Host Aran says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Steps forward:: Hey, hey! Let's calm down!

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::watches the wall buckle and a coolant line blow as the floor jumps out from under her and her staffs feet..:: Aahh! ::the gizmo still sticking to the ceiling::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
CTO: don't get too cocky ::as the ship gets hit hard, he is taking off his feet this time::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
::instinctively grips the console with his robotic arm to steady himself::

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*I'll try ::fires cations at the cannon from the deflector dish as the CEO suggested::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The Montgomery soon lists to a halt ... the viewscreen has gone dark. Most of the bridge is only illuminated by the consoles.

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
All: damn weapons are offline

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
*CEO*The deflector is too damaged to fire

Host CO_Capt_James says:
FCO: Do we have engine power?

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::holds her console as the ship shakes:: Self: Not an ideal situation. 

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::checks what she has available to move them with::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the familiar whines of transporters are heard ... and large hulking men in black, spiked-uniforms appear. They wear black, leather masks with spikes on them as well. All hold weapons to the bridge crew ... they are surrounded and outnumbered.

Host Aran says:
ACTION: All over the ship, the same men appear and draw their weapons on those around.

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::stands up and finds her wrist pointing the wrong way.. it takes a moment before it hurts and she starts jumping around yelping::

CTO_Cmdr_Blackheart says:
CO: Stick me in a shuttle I’ll ram the @#$% :stops as the intruders arrive::

Host Aran says:
<Man One> CO: If you wish your crew to survive, do not do anything stupid.

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::begins encrypting the main computer::

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
CO: Si...::pauses and shuts up looking blankly towards the new arrivals::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The main computer is encrypted, at which point the CSO is knocked out by a nearby intruder.

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::raises an eyebrow and motions for the crew to lower their weapons::  Intruder: Who are you?

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Glares at that comment, he steps forwards and stands near Aran:: Aran: I have no idea who you think you are, you were the one to cause this birth.. yet you dare say I do not care? ::Shakes his head:: I cared enough to separate my self thinking he deserves better, you know of my past ::Frowns at the memory:: I was wrong, now I'm going to correct that mistake. ::Turns around, he pauses::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
All: who the hell...

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
 And if I started with error correct I might as well go all the way.. ::Turns around::

Host Aran says:
<Man One> CO: The new owners of this ship.

FCO_Ens_Chandra says:
::taps the console to secure it::

Host Aran says:
<Ens. Raythan> @ ::Looks concerned at Maor, then throws a glare at Aran::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::notices the intruders and yelps:: Computer: shut down access.. emergency Black May day One! man that HURTS!

CSO_LtCmdr_Carika says:
::Goes unconscious but if she weren't she would be glad that Darrel is not aboard ::

Host CO_Capt_James says:
Self: We'll see about that.

Host Aran says:
@ ::Returns the glare to Raythan::

Host Aran says:
ACTION: The Intruders begin to round up all the crew, and force them to the ground on their knees.

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@::Turns around again:: Aran: If Mir will indeed wake up, and want you back ::Hisses the last word:: I'll leave her alone. I'm done forcing people to do as I please. ::Walks to the end of the sickbay::

Host Aran says:
@ CIV: Fair enough ... well, we will see what happens once we get out of here ... ::Turns on his heel and leaves::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::argues to remain standing and threaten to bite him if she has to get that low so he will never have to worry about kids in the future::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
::becomes very defensive, wants to try something but holds back knowing he is outnumbered::

Host Aran says:
<Man One> ::Once the bridge crew are forced to the ground:: COM: Glory: My majestic leader, we have captured the crew ... you may come over ...

Host CO_Capt_James says:
::raises an eyebrow::

XO_Cmdr_Brocksmith says:
Intruders: Starfleet will just keep coming, they won't stand for this ::gives them a look::

CEO_Lt_Travis says:
::grumbles as one of the EO's bring over a med kit and try to straighten out her hand..::

CIV_LtCmdr_Maor says:
@Raythan: I.. want to thank you ::Pauses:: You've saved Shane from what Aran said.. I owe you my life..

Host Aran says:
ACTION: A new transporter beam illuminates the bridge, and from it comes the form of an alien female with long, black hair. Her slightly revealing dress is enshrouded in a long black cape.

Host Morosea_Da says:
::Grins her evil Gamleasian grin:: Now, now ... yet another Starfleet toy for me to play with ...
