CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Nods to the XO ::  CTO: flight control is at your disposal, bring us into the optimum firing position on the lead vessel

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::Done changing into garb, and arrives in the surgical ward where Ensign Leyhart is waiting for him::

Ens. Leyhart says: 
CMO: Doctor.

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Leyhart: Ensign. Did you have a chance to review this man's diagnosis?

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
::Tries opening the channel again:: CO: Retrying on all frequency bands..

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: But sir... ow the hell with it... Bringing us about and in firing range!

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$::clutches at his head and groans, draws on every last fibre of his being and presses some commands into his chair console:: Self: They know now, they know they cannot win, just a few more moments and they will be destroyed. Then it’s time for the Elara...

Ens. Leyhart says: 
::Looks a bit worried at the flashing red lights:: CMO: Yes, sir. What was the purpose of this ..? ::She asks, gesturing to the man on the table::

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
CO: I'm reading small energy weapons on all the 7 ships and the Starbase defences are down from their initial shot. All ships in the docking bay are stranded; perhaps we should assist the wounded captain?

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::Walks over to a wall and presses a button on a console. The red alert lights are replaced in this room only by a gentle light blue:: Leyhart: I'm presuming to keep him from revealing something.

$ACTION: Pain subsides slightly

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::smiles as he finally finds something and taps his ComBadge:: *CO*: Sollo to the Captain.

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Computer: Prepare neuro-surgical procedure Ketazeta-Delta-Ulheisen.

Computer says: 
CMO: Acknowledged.

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::A small array of devices lower from the ceiling and come apart around Longfellow's head, slowly encompassing the cranium::

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::keeps being busy co-ordinating the evacuation of tens of decks of the SB::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*TO*: What is it?

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
::His console begins to display information about the attacking ships shielding and he begins to calculate and compare fast.:: CO: Sir, I think we might have a chance getting a photon torpedo through their shields. If we can set a timer of some kind, we might be able to let it explode close enough to take out one or even several of their ships.

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
CO: Still nothing... Picking up some other communication signals.. Between the starbase and the lead vessel, sir.. Trying to get the signal..

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: get everyone out that you can

Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Snarls in disgust, he turns at the SB Op's directions:: SB OPS: Open me a channel to the Elara, keep the current channel on standby.

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: In firing range Captain... Awaiting confirmation to fire.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: put us in the firing line - we'll try to buy the Starbase as much time as we can

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::hits a few buttons:: Cmdr: On screen Sir!

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Computer: Computer, full holographic projection of the patient's brain. Separate holographic representation of the stem, and as well of the neural pathways.

TO Ens Sollo says: 
*CO*: I've analyzed the data from the Station's targeting array and it seems that the shuttle was deliberately targeted for a kill shot sir.

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$::looks at the viewscreen and shakes his head as he is put on hold:: Self: Never could let me finish a sentence that one...

ACTION: The communication channel between the SB and the Elara is opened.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CSO: tell it to Starbuck - hit the lead ship

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
::reacts to the captains command and initiates beam out procedures:: CTO: I need some cover so I can get the shields down and transport the wounded to our sickbay Lieutenant, can you do something?

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
::Shakes head as the attempts fail:: CO: No luck, their computer systems are too badly damaged, I can't get through the interference...

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$Tac Officer: How long until the SB loses structural integrity?

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: No retaliation fire? ... :: hesitates then does as ordered:: We are almost in the firing line of the enemy vessels

Computer says: 
Acknowledged. ::Three well detailed holographic representations appear before the two medical officers, hovering just beyond the body:: Would you like to see patient's prior data as cross-referenced with current?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
*TO* Grab every piece of data you can - were almost out of time

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Computer: Yes, computer, thank you.

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@Cmdr: Sir, shield strength dropped to 21%. Failure in approximately 13 minutes!

Cmdr Maor says: 
@Com: Elara CO: Captain Timrok, pleasure to see you again. Could hope it was on better times though, what's your current status?

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CEO: Going to give you a small gap in the shield on our starboard side facing the station... do your best..

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
::nods:: CTO: I have some data for you sir, I'll send it over to your console at once. We might have a chance there. See if you can have a photon torpedo configured. ::Presses a few buttons on his console.::

TAC Officer says: 
$Pazoski: they already have several breaches. In an estimated 10 minutes their hull will be seriously compromised and life support will fail

TO Ens Sollo says: 
*CO*: Aye Cap'n, I'm downloading the data now. Sollo out.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: use the CSO's data and hit them hard

Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Nods at the OPS direction, he mumbles something not intelligent as he waits for a response from the Elara CO::

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
CTO: Alright, initiating narrow transporter beam, energizing on your mark Mr. Starbuck. ::gets ready to beam out the wounded from the starbase docks::

Cmdr Maor says: 
@SB OPS: What's our current evacuation percentage, Ensign?

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Computer: Begin recording. This is Doctor Mathar Raythan, Lieutenant, U.S.S. Elara with Ensign Kara Leyhart, neuro-studies specific. Stardate is 10601.22, 1623 hours.

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CSO/CO: This shouldn’t be too hard... configuring...... ::waits a few moments:: done.

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$::nods:: Tac Officer: Send two vessels to assault the Elara, the SB is no threat for now

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
CO: Incoming transmission from the starbase... ::Puts it through::

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
CTO: I recommend to set the time so it will explode close to several, if you can do that. The bigger the chance to damage or destroy more of them in one try. I have no idea how fast they can remodulate their shields.

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CEO: Make it like you said!

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::downloads all the targeting data and authorisation commands to a PADD and stands to leave the CTO's office::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Aloud: Patient is Lieutenant Paul T. Longfellow of Starbase One Two Three. The patient has suffered a severe neural trauma as a result of apparent illegal neuro-surgery on both the physical and metaphysical levels.

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
::beams out the wounded:: *CMO* Lt. McKnight to sickbay, you're getting some wounded people down there doctor, stand by.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Maor: Were heading down $%@# Creek without a paddle, what are you doing here?

ACTION: With a nod from Pazoski's officer two vessels flank the Elara. Fire on the SB subsides

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
::arms and fires the configured torpedo at the enemy ships:: CO: The torpedo is launched!

Nurse Teyna says: 
*CEO* This is Lieutenant J.G. Teyna, the Doctor's in surgery and I'm in charge down here. We're ready and waiting, Lieutenant.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
Self: Burn

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@Cmdr: All lower decks are evacuated except for Main Engineering and all almost outer areas are evacuated. That's about 83% Sir.

ACTION: The Elara fires a torpedo, clearly visible in Pazoski's view screen

ACTION: The two vessels start firing on the Elara, shields hold for the moment

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::leaves the office and heads for the nearest TL::

Cmdr Maor says: 
@Com: Elara CO: SFI sent me to go down with the boat, so to say. What's your weapons capabilities? We might need a distraction soon to get the shuttles out.

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
::Crosses his fingers:: Self: Now let's hope my calculations were correct.

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
::Looks at the viewscreen as the events unfold::

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
Self: We are so dead..

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM: Maor: we'll give you all the time we can, but it's not much - get the hell out of there

Cmdr Maor says: 
@Com: Elara CO: I'll hail you as soon as I have more news, Maor out. ::Turns to face the SB OPS:: Target back on screen, Ensign. Hurry whoever's left.

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::stumbles slightly as he sprints into the TL and the ship is hit but gets back to his feet and shouts:: TL: Deck one! Bridge!

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::Slowly walks around Longfellow's body, staring at the holographic representations and continues:: Aloud: Patient's neuro-pathways were reconfigured to cause abnormal pain neuro-transmitter transmission in the event of certain memory engrams being accessed. Chemical properties in the brain suggest long-term telepathic modification as well.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: suppose we collided with one of those ships? Who would come off worse?

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$::watches the torpedo on the viewscreen and smiles:: Self: finally you fire Jo, I was beginning to get worried

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::puts back on the channel with Pazoski:: Cmdr: Channel reopened.

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
::saves additional power and transfers it to the shield emitters while still trying to decipher the message::

ACTION: The torpedo hits dead on as Pazoski's ship doesn't move. He loses engines

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@::co-co-ordinates the evacuation::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Aloud: Ensign Leyhart and I will be reversing the neuro-damage incurred by the apparent setting off of these modifications, and will be attempting to reverse the earlier surgical effects.

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
Self: A HIT, yes. ::Starts to work on his console to determine the amount of damage caused.::

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: They would sir... A Nebula class is a big ship... but if you plan to still have the ship in full capacity afterwards... impossible... But we will be alive... Sort of

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$::rocks in his seat and grumbles:: Tac Officer: Have 3 more ships engage the Elara, target her life support systems and power distribution grid.

ACTION: as some life pods are launched, some are destroyed by enemy fire

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::steps out of the TL and on to the bridge:: CO: Sir!

Cmdr Maor says: 
@Com: Pazoski: Listen to me, I don't care whatever is happening to you. You will stop whatever you're being "ordered" to this moment. You don't seriously want to do this, Pazoski.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: what?

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::receives messages of several OPS personnel for the deck by deck evacuation to be completed::

$ACTION: The ships comply and soon 3 more vessels are on their way to the Elara's position

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::holds out the PADD as he approaches the command circle:: CO: The data you asked for.

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CEO: McKnight.. grab a tractor beam on some of those escape pods and beam them in.. it's the least we can do

ACTION: As she is hit again, inertial dampeners don't hold. The Elara is shaken; this is particularly felt in sickbay

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Leyhart: Ready to go. ::Smiles::

Ens. Leyhart says: 
CMO: I think so -- ::Grabs a hold of the surgical table as the ship rocks::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::wobbles again but doesn't fall down::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Leyhart: Don't worry; we'll make it through this.

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
::Grabs the OPS console::

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$Maor: You are wrong, I DO want to do this ::presses a button on his chair:: I am sending you the complete tactical readout of this fleet, shield frequencies, structural weaknesses, everything. ::stands and nods at Maor:: I will see you in the next life. Old friend

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
CTO: Aye, aye, working on it. ::initiates the tractor beam and starts brining in the pods into the shuttlebay::

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: 3 more ships incoming.... tactical retreat sir?

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
::Feels the ship shake a little and firmly grabs hold of his console.:: Self: Wow, they hit as well. ::He begins to check their shields again, hoping they haven't changed anything in any way.

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Computer: Prepare sub-cranial pathway cleansers. Leyhart: Get me a reticular stimulator. Let's get to work.

$ACTION: Pazoski falls to the ground...he went one-step too far. Intense pain dulls his brain

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: Takes the PADD but doesn't read it, OK if your done then the chief could use some help

$ACTION: It starts shutting down ... Peter Pazoski falls unconscious on the floor of the bridge of his dreams

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Negative, we stay and take it, focus fire on the shields of the lead ship

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
CO: Escape pods are secure in the shuttle bay captain, sending a security and medical team down there to assist them.

LtCmdr Pazoski says: 
$::lands with a thump as slips into darkness::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::nods without a word and heads for the Tac station::

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@OPS Tar: Sir, three more ships incoming.

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: Unless we have a secret federation modulating shield that is invulnerable.. we will not be along for much longer

Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Growls, he turns to face the SB OPS:: SB OPS: Relay the data to the Elara, inform them not to target Pazoski's ship under my orders. Tell them to target with whatever they got, when they'll figure out what happened we should have a lead. What's our current weapons status?

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::frowns as he see Pazoski fall::

$ACTION: Oblivious to their fallen leader, all officers on the remaining vessels continue to follow their last orders. 2/7 target the SB, 5/7 target the Elara

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@Cmdr: Aye Sir. ::accesses communications console and sends the message to the Elara, priority 1::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::Activates holographic control display for the pathway cleansers. A series of glowing blue buttons appear around the holographic representation of the brain. He gently rests his fingers on the buttons and starts to move them around::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CEO: Good work, do what you can to bolster our shields

ACTION: As the ships keep firing the shields start giving away

CEO Lt McKnight says: 
::gets back on reinforcing the Elara’s shields::

ACTION: The bridge is targeted and a console next to helm explodes, knocking Lost out of his chair

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::routes additional power to the shields from non-essential systems::

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
::receives the data from the starbase:: Self: This is... ...  CO: Sir.. you better hold on to something... ::modulates phasers and torpedoes to those frequencies and targets the weak spots on the enemy vessels then shoots a full salvo:::::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::runs to Lost and checks on him::

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::silences audio communications for a brief moment:: Cmdr: Sir, evacuation at 94%. Estimated time of completion: 6 minutes. Shield failure expected in 8 minutes 24 seconds. ::unmutes audio::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::Stands his ground as the ship rocks:: Leyhart: Do me a favour? Go to that console over there, and draw up the manual controls for the EMH power-routing systems. Re-route whatever power that would be allocated to the EMH program to the holographic systems in this room.

Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Nods::SB OPS: our weapons status Ensign?

Ens. Leyhart says: 
CMO: Aye, sir. ::Heads over to the console and does as he orders:: If I may ask, why?

ACTION: The ship closest to the Elara has her engines explode in a myriad of colours. She spins out of the way

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@Cmdr: All weapons systems failed at the first impact, Sir.

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::Calmly working his fingers over the holographic display, and does not avert his eyes from the image before him:: Leyhart: The Emergency Medical Holographic system was designed in the event of, you guessed it, an emergency. This must take into consideration that the ship might lose a lot of power.

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@Cmdr/OPS Tar: One of the attacking ships exploded.

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
::Looks a little worried as the console on the bridge explodes. He begins to work on scanning the starbase, trying to determine its condition.::

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
::reloads photon torpedoes and gets in position again... fires another salvo::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::sees Lost is stable and jumps into the driver’s seat, immediately turning the ship slightly to enable the largest amount of her weapons to bear on the enemy::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
CTO: Take out their shields

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
::Follows the battle with moderate interest, analysing the crew's efficiency in their actions::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Leyhart: You can't suddenly have an EMH cut out in the middle of surgery. Dropping a laser scalpel into a person probably wouldn't help any. So a separate power system, well protected, was designed for the EMH. Should main power go down, it should keep the matrix going for a nice long while.

ACTION: And another vessel suffers the same fate, losing all power. She drifts into space

Ens. Leyhart says: 
CMO: Heh, I learn something new every day.

ACTION: The other 4 keep firing. Two on the Elara and two on the SB

Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Nods:: OPS: Inform the Elara of our current situation, let's see if they can assist us while we finish evacs:: Now, does Pazoski's ship still has shields?

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: Get a boarding party ready -assault the lead ships bridge when they lose shields

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@Cmdr/OPS Tar: And another ship is taken out of use.

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: Aye... ::targets the lead ships shields generator and fires::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
Leyhart: Yes you do. I'm almost done with the initial cleansing. Apply the reticular stimulators, and see if you can get a charge in there. Then pull up the Introspective Shifters and see if you can pinpoint the exact locations of all the modifications.

Ens. Leyhart says: 
::Nods and sets to work. She pulls out two beeping discs, and amidst all the technology surrounding the man's head, applies them to his temples::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CO: Aye Cap'n. ::taps his combadge and arranges an assault team to assemble in the transporter room::

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@Cmdr: Yes Sir, relaying all system status to the Elara. ::tries to scan for the shield strength of Pazoski's ship::

ACTION: Peter's vessel is shield-less

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@Cmdr: Sir, their shields are down!

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
TO: Assault team has a go! ::aims for the other ship shooting the station and fires another full salvo::

Cmdr Maor says: 
@SB OPS: Thank you! Open a channel to the Elara please!

ACTION: A warbird decloaks on the other side of the Starbase and blows the nearest vessel to space dust. Some of which damages the Starbase

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
::A beep on his console attracts his attention.:: CO: Sir, we have help on the way. To my best knowledge is the USS Sagres, accompanied by 3 other vessels.

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::opens channel:: Cmdr: Channel opened.

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::gives the green light to the assault team to transport::

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@Cmdr: Sir, the Romulans have arrived!

@ACTION: On the SB, the Romulan Commander's face appears saying "You required assistance?"

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
::Receives another hail from the SB:: CO: Captain, incoming transmission from the starbase...

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CTO: Assault team away.

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CSO: Ow friggin great.. now the come... ::realises he's on the bridge of a starship in Starfleet uniform:: All: erm..

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Nods to the CSO :: Send them after the other ships, we'll deal with the lead vessel

CO Capt Timrok says: 
XO: putit through

XO Cmdr Sovak says: 
::Puts it on the main viewscreen:: CO: On screen...

Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Nods at the split screen, he gestures towards the enemy small fleet: Com: Romulans: Indeed, the SB OPS will send you the fleet intel. Do not target the lead ship for now, good hunting. ::Turns to face the Elara CO:: CO: Can you spare a moment to lower your shields and beam Pazoski while we still have the chance?

ACTION: With the two final shots, Starbuck renders the last ship attacking the Elara a derelict and the Romulans destroy the remaining attacking vessel. For a moment all is calm

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
CO: No need sir. The attackers are either disabled or destroyed.

TO Ens Sollo says: 
::brings the Elara face to face with the disabled ship trying to position her as menacingly as he can::

@ACTION: With an exaggerated bow the Romulan fades out of the screen

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::sends the information to the Romulan vessel as he hears the implicit command::

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
Self: We're alive...we're alive...we're...alive....::sits back in his chair and falls at ease::

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::receives the information the evacuation is completed::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM Maor: Pazoski?

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
::breaths clear ignoring everything around him for just a few moments:: Self: I love my job...

Cmdr Maor says: 
@Com: Elara CO: You weren't informed? ::Raises an eyebrow in question? He turns to face the SB OPS:: SB OPS: Relay the Elara where Pazoski is, and for god’s sake. Start doing whatever you do here when I'm not.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
COM Maor: We have a team going over to secure the bridge - anyone over thetre will be apprehended - Pazoski or otherwise

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::frowns as he hears the commander but sends the information to the Elara::

ACTION: The cavalry arrives, the galaxy class USS Sagres drops out of warp followed by three smaller vessels

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@Self: grrr.

Cmdr Maor says: 
@Com: Elara CO: Understood, I'll be arriving at the Elara as well then. I'm sure you'll be wise enough to attach a security detail on him?

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@::SBOPSing::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Walks over to the CTO and pats him on the back :; CTO: Good work

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CO: Sir, four Federation ships just dropped out of warp.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
All: Well done all, great work - now get to work cleaning up this mess

CTO LtJG Starbuck says: 
CO: We needed a miracle.. a miracle happened... Self: Fate protects children, fools, little ship the Elara.. ::chuckles::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: nods to the TO :: What’s the condition of the enemy bridge?

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CO: They still have life support sir.

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@::SBOPSing too::

CMO Lt Raythan says: 
::Still extensively working on Longfellow::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: questions whether them having life support or not is a good thing inside his head ::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CO: It's all secure sir... everyone's co-operating.

CSO Ens Nelson says: 
::Looks at awe at the Galaxy class ship as the others seem to be occupied with other duties.::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CO: Cap'n?

OPS MCPO Green says: 
@Cmdr: Sir, more ships have arrived, one of which a Galaxy class starship.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: Nods to Sollo inquisitively ::

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CO: I realise now might not be the best time but when we have finished clearing up this mess would it be possible for me to have a quick word in your ear?

Cmdr Maor says: 
@::Nods at the SB OPS direction, very well. Inform them of our status, back to yellow alert::

CO Capt Timrok says: 
TO: Absolutely

TO Ens Sollo says: 
CO: Thank you sir. ::returns to monitoring the manoeuvring thrusters::

OPS Ens Tar says: 
@Cmdr: Aye Sir, we're back at yellow alert.

CO Capt Timrok says: 
:: looks around the bridge to see who isn't working ::
