=/\= U.S.S. Elara Stardate 10502.13 - "When all else fails..., part VI"=/\=
Host Eric_W says:
The USS Elara is on the verge of complete and utter destruction... as the clock runs down on the self-destruct systems... five minutes to go, and no one knows how to shut it down... the CO is unconscious... Solie is dead... what to do?

ACTION: 5 minutes and counting to KABLOOEY!
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
::on the bridge, wondering what's going on::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Sitting at the Elara's OPS panel, desperately trying to figure out how to shut down the autodestruct sequence.::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Working busily on the consoles to keep all the preparations in order to assist the crew on the Elara::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
:: on the bridge .. just closed the hailing channel to the Goa::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@::makes his way onto the bridge of the Goa and looks around:: OPS: What is our status Mr. Conners.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: were running out of time here Guevara, what are we going to do?...and the captains taking his time. should I see what s happening? :: motions towards the CO's ready room ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::takes his engineering console and accesses the Elaras mainframe using the "back door" access codes from before the Elara was kidnapped.::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: Go ahead and get him. I'm doing my best over here.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Pounding can be heard behind one of the Jeffries' Tubes leading to the bridge, as if someone was trying to break in...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: ok, keep trying :: walks over to the ready room and pushes the button, not waiting for an answer he walks inside and takes a look ::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Looks up from his console, still wiping away a bit of the sweat he has got on is head:: XO: Sir, I've rerouted all the systems to one console. It appears the Tagus has blown and the crew is on the Elara now. There's was a power surge from the core earlier.
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
::hears the pounding and pulls a phaser off his belt, opening the Jeffries tube access carefully::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
:: notices the pounding and readies Batleth :: Jeffries Tube: Anyone in there?
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@OPS: What sort of power surge?
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Is so absorbed in trying t deactivate the sequence that he doesn’t hear the pounding.::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: looks down at the 2 bodies on the floor:: self: oh no :: bends down and feels the two officers pulses ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::still trying to bypass the security system::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Looks a bit worried:: XO: I'm not really sure. But judging from the peaks in the surge, I'd say the Elara's self-destruct sequence has been activated.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The pounding stops for a second.... and then suddenly, it's blasted away by phaser blasts... and phaser fire starts arcing out of the tube... oh, and 4 minutes to KABLOOEY!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::accesses the self destruct antimatter explosives and tries to disconnect them manually::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@::gives OPS his patented "you have to be joking" look:: OPS: Red alert. Power up all ships systems.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:; hears a lot of noise coming from beyond the door to the bridge :: self: what the?
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
:: takes the phaser rifle and starts shooting in the tube::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Opens the OPS panel and sees if he can do anything manually to deactivate the sequence.:: CTO: Hold 'em off, I need to get this thing turned off.
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
CSO: No.. I was going to ask 'em to join us for a cup of coffee!! ::still shooting::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@FCO Lost: Mr. Lost, lay in a course for the Elara and engage at maximum speed.
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@XO: Aye aye sir. ::Quickly gets working on all the different commands to ready as many systems as he can::
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The phaser fire starts to die down, as the invaders fall one by one... but not before one phaser blast arcs its way to make contact with the CTO's shoulder...
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::after seeing the console go red with warning, he tries to work faster on the hacking::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
:: gets stunned by the hit :: Self: Crapola
Host Eric_W says:
@<Ens_Lost> XO: Aye, sir... course laid in, best speed to Elara.
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
::fires into the tube, tempted to overload his phaser and throw it in::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: leaving the now dead Solie he hoists the captain in his arms and opens the door to the bridge :: CSO: we have a problem here ::nods at the CO in his arms ::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@<Nurse Lenny>::Just walk onto the bridge, looking around her in awe and moves to a seat close to the XO. She sits down and eyes the XO continuously::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::the console locks him out, security procedures for self-destruct warning are initiated:: Self: darn it
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
CEO: How long do we have left? ::holding his shoulder::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: Jesus, Mary and Joseph! ::Runs over with a Tricorder and begins to scan the CO.::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@OPS: Can you determine how long until the Elara explodes?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CTO: Starbuck, we have to evacuate, now... there is no use tring this.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Several fighters can be seen encircling the Elara in an attack position... and 3 minutes left!!!!!
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
CEO: How many charges are armed for self destruct?
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Checks his monitor and takes a couple of settings to find the right reading:: XO: Less than 3 minutes sir!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CTO: 4 antimatter charges are ready to blow on key tactical positions on the ships.
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
CEO: Dump the core.. I’ll go and manually disconnect them
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
::goes over to the computers, and speaks:: Computer: With the Captain unconscious, how do we terminate the self-destruct?
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
:: goes to a console and activates the teleport, beaming him to the first charge::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::kisses his rosary and puts it around the captains neck.:: FCO: He is experiencing mental trauma, and it isnt healing quickly enough to be of use.
Host Eric_W says:
<Computer> CIV: Physical condition of the Captain is verified. Self-Destruct-related Command Codes are now transferred to the XO.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CTO: You have 2 at main engineering, 1 in the main computer core and the last one is at the power relay grid in the lower decks
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: will he be ok Guevara?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::goes to the console again and initiates core ejection sequence::
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
Computer: The XO is not on the ship. Now who?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: sorry, I heard you. I guess its a lot to take in
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
CEO: Make that 2 at main engineering and one at  the main computer
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
:: makes a run for the computer core room::
Host Eric_W says:
<Computer> CIV: Status of the XO is verified. Self-Destruct-related Command Codes are now transferred to- BLIP.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: If we get him to the GOA fast enough could he make a full recovery?
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: I have an idea. ::Walks over to the med kit and pulls out two neural stimulators. Places them on the CO's temples and turns them on to medium setting.:: FCO: Hopefully that helps.
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@OPS: As soon as we are within range begin beaming as many people off of that ship as possible. Find Admiral Ix, she is our number one priory, then get our crew out.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: One minute left to self-destruct.... as the vessels encircling the Elara begins to fire, targeting the Elara's bridge...
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::enters the core room and deactivates the charge :: Self: Two left...
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: We might be dead before the Goa can do anything about it. Keep watch on those stimulators. ::Runs over to engineering console.:: FCO: I am going to try a complete shutdown of ship's power.
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@::turns to the officer at tactical:: TO: Disable those fighters!
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@XO: Aye sir. I'm trying to get a lock on them. But what about the Elara?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CTO*: Deactivation complete, two to go Ensign.
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::reaches the main engineering and disables one charge::*CEO*: Mac... Wheres the last one???
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
::enters his command codes, ordering the stoppage of the self-destruct::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@<Nurse Lenny> ::Believes to see the XO get a little pale and gets up to take a closer look:: XO: Sir? You should calm down a bit. Are you feeling okay?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: ok
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Attempts to completely shut down power to the Elara.:: FCO: Here goes plan Z!
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: i hope you know what your doing
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CTO:* The last one is at the lower decks, take turbo shaft 12-C down to deck 14, hallway 5
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@::turns sharply on the nurse:: Lenny: My captain and crew are about to be vaporized, how do you think I feel!?
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: As the CSO begins to shut down power to the Elara... key self-destruct systems begin to power down... one by one... but will it be fast enough?
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::goes to the  shaft and quickly deactivates the last one::*CEO*: We're clear.. blow the core out... its gonna overload
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: It looks like... it looks like it might be working....
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::ejects the core into space, full burst::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: tries to keep the CO as comfortable as possible ::
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The antimatter storage units begin to lose containment...
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: Start... Start shutting down every system you can, ships lights, everything!
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: HURRY TAYLOR!
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: if not.....I hope your a fast runner
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::hurries to the bridge::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: jumps up and runs to the nearest console and starts shutting down the systems ::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Attempts to shut down ship's gravity.. that's a big power suck.::
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The warp core is ejected into space...
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@<Nurse Lenny> ::Being a bit shocked by the XO response, she backs away a little and sits down.::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: The warp core has been ejected! Thank God!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::breaths out a big breath and sits on the ground::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
::runs to the next console :: self: come on...faster!
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
::enters his codes again, trying to help the FCO::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: but doesn't mean its over does it?
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: I dont know keep working to shut everything down.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The ship's power begins to die out... combined with the CIV's command codes slowly deactivating each self-destruct system.... the entire ship is silent as the countdown goes down... 10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5...
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::reaches the bridge almost worn out:: All: I've...*shaw*.. the charges. .are *hskw* deactivated... ::laughs manically:: hehe.. we're aliveeee!
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: 4.... 3.... 2.... 1........................
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CTO*: McKnight to Starbuck, we're in the clear ensign, nice work down there......
CIV_Lt_Tyler says:
::grits his teeth, waiting to die::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
All : gentlemen......
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Clasps hands:: Self:: Hail Mary full of grace...
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: .... Nothing happens.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
All: if we don’t make it, it was a pleasure :;salutes::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Looks around.::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
FCO: Keep the pleasure.. we made it
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:;smiles at the CTO::
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: .... And the silence is perturbed, as the entire ship begins to rock as the fighters start targeting the bridge... causing significant damage to the shields.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
::sighs::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
Self: WAHOOOOOOOOOO! ::Jumps into CTO's arms.::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
All: oh no what now
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::grabs the CSO:: CSO: Hehee... okay ok.. cool down.. we still have those fighters
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: how long would it take to get at least weapons back?
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::What was that?:: CTO: Shields....
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: and some movement
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
FCO: Do I looks like an engineer to you flyboy? ::Runs over to engineering console.::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
CSO: The core was ejected... we only have backup.. and it's not gonna last long
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Detects some bleeps on his screen:: XO: Sir, there are fighters targeting the Elara sir. Should we intercept?
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CSO: hey , we’ve been jacks of all trades since we got on this ship!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::jumps up at the tactical console and sees that the Elaras Warp Core is still intact::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@OPS: Of course we should, how far away is our task force?
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Five fighters, spiraling back and forth targeting the Elara... shields down to 40%, weapons at 20% and slowly climbing... photon torpedo launchers offline...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: can we get enough power to signal the Goa?
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@::again turns to the officer at tactical:: TO: I want those fighters disabled, right now.
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
CTO: Our orders were to not surrender at all correct?
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
FCO: Don't know.. but in the mean time...
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::locks on to the warp core and engages the tractor beam using emergency power:: All: I'm going to get that warp core back in so we can fight.
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
CEO: Get the warp core back in? That's preposterous!
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
CEO: We've lose antimatter containment, even if we managed to get it in somehow, we couldn’t operate it.
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Checks his readings, which is still a little difficult switching through all the different systems:: XO: They're approximately 15 minutes away sir. I don't think the Elara will last that long.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CEO: he's right ::sighs::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
All: I've got it!!
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
FCO: I require your assistance in shuttle bay
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
::looks at the CTO::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CSO/FCO: I can use the tractor beam to stabilize it, erect a force field around it and insert it back in.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: you've got it 
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::runs to the shuttle bay
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
::runs after the CTO ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
All: We have no chance of surviving with ought our main power source.
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::in running:: FCO: How much power can a shuttle warp core provide?
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@<TO_Nimitz> XO: Aye, sir, right on it... ::activates the weapons array and starts looking for targets::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
CEO: We cannot bring it back in! It would be impossible to repair the antimatter containment fields in time!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::tractors the core back into position and rotates it to be able to get it back in::
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The fighters begin to move off from the Elara, and starts targetting the Goa...
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CSO: We have a better chance of surviving if we had main power to boost the shields with.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Though it's a tight fit, and the CEO's scratched the paint somewhat, the warp core is slowly repositioned back in...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:; panting :: CTO: umm......
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::transfers all that is left in emergency power to the warp core containment beam::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@<Nurse Lenny> ::Sees the fighters on the viewscreen and turns pale herself. She grabs hold of the console nearest to her and gets ready to dive underneath it::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
CEO: Ok, now we have to go to Main Engineering and enact repairs on antimatter containment in order to activate the warp core.
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
::reaches the shuttle bay:: *CEO*: Can you fix the warp core?
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@::watches the nurse:: Lenny: Perhaps you should go and sit down somewhere, you don’t look well.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
CSO: We just have to link it up with our power distribution grid ::closes the warp core hatch::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: were talking about maybe 25% compared to our own
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@FCO Lost: Lets see some of that fancy flying Mr. Lost, we have to keep these things off of the Elara until our reinforcements arrive.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CTO:* Ensign Starbuck, we could use your assistance, meet us in Main Engineering....
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@<Nurse Lenny> ::Stuttering:: XO: I... err.... those are..... ::Gets even more pale as she watches between the XO and the viewscreen::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::nods to the CSO and enters the Turbo lift::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
*CEO*: You will need power down there if you are going to activate the warp core again
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
Self: I just want to fly out there and give them hell!
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: A fighter flies straight for the Goa, its approach is visible on the viewscreen... and then a bright light... and then a great EXPLOSION on the bridge, direct hit!
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
*ALL*: Have you all forgotten that it takes 10 minutes to reinstall a warp core and we're at minimal power capacity with 5 fighters shooting at us?
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
FCO: Get started on tapping the power from that shuttle, i'll start the inverse power sequence
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: Incoming hail from the Task Force, to the Elara...
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CTO:* Ensign, listen, here is what I want you to do.....
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
*CEO*: Gimme a second...
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@<TO Nimitz> XO: They are not playing fair... ::targets the approaching fighters and opens fire with the phaser cannons::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: aye :: runs up to the shuttle and jumps inside trying to use 3 consoles at once ::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Grabs hold of his console, but fails to keep his balance and drops. Quickly he gets up again and checks his console::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CTO:* Link up one warp core from the shuttles to the shield generator of the Elara, we need to keep the shields up and running until I can bring the warp core online again.
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
*CEO*: Yea.. that's what I’m trying to do!
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Sits down at OPS, and being alone on the bridge, slaves all consoles to the OPS panel.:: Self: Well, someone has to be on the bridge. ::Answer hail.::
COM: Taskforce: This is the USS Elara, yes?
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@OPS: Mr. Conners please inform the pirates that they are required to power down and surrender their weapons.
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@<Nurse Lenny>::Drops to the floor and the hit made her slide half way across the small bridge::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::enters main engineering and takes some tools:: *CTO*: Rodger, make sure the shields are up... and keep me posted.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The Goa makes a direct hit on one of the fighters, taking it out... it spirals out of control and explodes, grazing the Elara's right nacelle...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: fiddling with buttons he shouts :: CTO: I'm almost done here....
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
::Runs a level 4 diagnostic on the starboard nacelle.::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
*CEO*: Roger that.. I’ll hook up the power to the second and last shuttle to engines... we need to get out of here
Host Eric_W says:
COM: Elara: This is Starfleet Taskforce 113, we will be arriving in ten minutes, stand-by.
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
FCO: Okay.. get on the last shuttle and patch it in to the main core too... ::finished inversing the core power::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@TO: Keep those fighters away from the Elara Mr. Nimitz, if they will not stand down and you cant disable them, take them out.
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
COM: Taskforce: Music to my ears, we'll try to keep her in one piece.
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::starts working on the warp core re-integration systems::
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@XO: Gladly sir! ::Enters a few commands on his console and opens a channel on multiple frequencies:: COM: Pirates: This is the USS Goa. You are required to power down and surrender your weapons.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: aye :: runs to the last shuttle and starts opening panels and running fingers over console buttons ::
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The fighters respond by continuing their fire on the Goa... as her shields are down to 30%, and phasers down to 35%...
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: hands a blur running over the console buttons he runs around trying to get things ready ::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
*CEO*: Okay.. we got this thing running until you get the warp core online... I’ll head to the bridge to get us outta this area.. impulse power only
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::links up the warp core with all key systems on the Elara, turns his view to the matter-antimatter chamber hoping it would light up:: Self: Come on! Work, work!
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: battery no.2 almost ready :: smiling he finalizes the power output relays ::
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
*CTO:* Acknowledged ensign, nice work down there.
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The warp core activates, and slowly but surely, power is redistributed across the ship... it appears to have worked, for some insane reason.
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
*FCO, CTO, CEO*: There is a Starfleet task force incoming. ETA eight minutes.
OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@::Looks up at the XO:: XO: I don't think they want to give up just yet, sir.
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: done! :: jumps out of the shuttle ::
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@<TO Nimitz> ::mumbles something about not having enough weapons, changes his targeting priorities and opens fire on the next wave of fighters::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
*CSO*: Patch in word that we have control of the Elara.. we don’t want them shooting at us
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
FCO: Good work... let's move out to the bridge
XO_Cmdr_Pazoski says:
@OPS: They never do ::sits in his chair:: What is the status of the Elara?
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:

OPS_Ens_Conners says:
@<Nurse Lenny> ::Shakes her head a little and tries to figure out where she is and why she is there::
CTO_Ens_Starbuck says:
*CSO*: Get a lock on the life forms next to us and beam them in the brig.. like NOW!
CEO_LtJg_McKnight says:
::sets up main engineering to runs smooth, and as he sees the warp core all ok, he feels better:: Self: Nice one mate, nice one. ::heads for the bridge::
CSO_Ens_Guevara says:
*CTO*: Understood! ::Tries to lock on to the pirates and beam them into the brig, activating force field as well.::
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
:: continues to fire :: CTO: I can draw them away if you want to make a dash for the bridge....
FCO_Ens_Taylor says:
CTO: well...I’m sure I can
Host Eric_W says:
ACTION: The CIV is able to beam off some of the pirates, locking on to several... half the team of pirates attacking the FCO/CTO... or so.
