CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::looks at the tactical panel which is different from the Hudson's:: TO: Wow, I wonder if I still remember how to fire the phasers.

TO_Logan says:
TO_M:  Reporting for duty, anything you need me to do?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::checks his padd to make sure the Annex is recording this::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::As the TL stops, steps onto the bridge::

CMO_Gordon says:

CMO_Gordon says:
::hears the turbolift engines going::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Hudson has responded.

Host CO_Senn says:
::turns to nod at T'Salea, her heartbeat quickening::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: And the AQ's fleet?

CSO_Rya says:
::Checks to see if the probe made it safely back and smiles to see that it did. Ens. Ling did an excellent job managing it.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Hails the AQ fleet::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::nods at the captain::

TO_M`Tor says:
TO_Logan: I am... curious about the Alpha Quadrant fleet ... Please do a detailed scan.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
TO: This one? ::and moves his finger to press it, and stops half inch above::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::doing helm things at the helm::

Host CO_Senn says:
::wonders why Kim is not answering, or even taking the iniciative::

CMO_Gordon says:
::exits the turbolift onto the bridge and observes around::

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: The AQ fleet is coming into visual range.. the lead ship is hailing the Europa.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Looks out the screen::

TO_Logan says:
TO_M:  Right away   ::scans the AQ Fleet::

TO_M`Tor says:
:: grins ::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
TO: Mr. Taylor (son) modifications to tactical systems are working on the Europa, rigth?

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Sir, the Fleet is hailing.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: nods :: CTO: Yes Sir... So far...

Host CO_Senn says:
CSO: What do you have on scans?

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Thank you Lt. On screen 
OPS_Taylor says:
::Opens a channel::

Host Captain_Kim says:
ACTION: Scans reveal the AQ fleet, but sensors can't penetrate the hulls

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: AQ: This is Captain Senn... ::hates repeating this over and over again:: of the Federation starship USS Europa.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::listening to the general bridge conversations, keeping an eye on his console::

CSO_Rya says:
CO: We're detecting the fleet, just as before, I'm working on trying to get more details for you.

Host CO_Senn says:
CSO: Let me know whatever you find.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Turns to look at the doctor who has taken over as the chief resident, there paths had yet to cross.::

CSO_Rya says:
CO: Aye Captain.

TO_Logan says:
TO_M:  The scans seem to not be able to penetrate the hulls of the Alpha Quadrant Fleet.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: looks over Logan's shoulder and frowns at the tactical scans ::

Host Captain_Kim says:
$COM: Europa: So your ship designation states.. This is Captain Thomas Kim, USS Defender, Nautilus-class..

CSO_Rya says:
::Fiddles some more with the sensors, trying to enhance them.::

CMO_Gordon says:
::walks over to science 2:: CSO: Ah hello fellow CSO, do you need some assistance today?

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Turns back to the screen, her head slightly tilted to observe Kim::

Host CO_Senn says:
::watches Kim on the screen:: COM: Kim: We request escort towards the Bajoran wormhole and the Alpha Quadrant.

CSO_Rya says:
::Smiles at the doctor.:: CMO: Sure. Are you going to stick around today?  ::grins so he knows she's just teasing him.::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::wonders if there's any relation between this Kim and the one lost in the Delta Q:: ::glances at Senn and walks back to the science Aux console::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::tests systems, runs some diagnostics on them to be sure they will work when needed. Finds a few minor problems, nothing to worry:: FCO: Did you bring your combat maneuvers with you? We may need to use them on the Europa.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CTO: Aye, sir, I did.

CSO_Rya says:
CMO: Did you used to be a CSO?

FCO_Felhaber says:
::calls up the combat maneuvers and prepares three or four for quick execution::

TO_M`Tor says:
:: attempts a few detailed scans trying to penetrate the hull. His paranoia is growing ::

Host CO_Senn says:
::doesn't feel like informing Kim about the JH on their trail, the Asian-looking man sure knows that already::

CMO_Gordon says:
CSO_Rya: Apparently yes, the captain thought this station could use a hand.

Host Captain_Kim says:
$COM: Europa: Granted Captain, half of our ships will escort you to the wormhole, while the other half will remain here and stall the Dominion fleet. ::looks at a panel off-screen::  I suggest you get moving. Good luck Captain. Kim out.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Brings up the Power grid and puts the shield grid on the screen::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles at Alara:: CSO: Mind if I borrow your auxilliary console?

TO_Logan says:
::whispers::  TO_M:  I don't like this at all.  Something seems a bit off here.

Host CO_Senn says:
::not given a chance to even say thank-you, but not minding::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Glances over at tactical, then back to her captain.::

CSO_Rya says:
::Glances over at Jim and smiles:: SFI: Sure, if you'll give me all of the data from the Revenent on the AQ fleet.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::thinks that Captain Kim is a bit too abrupt for his liking::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Ressume course, best speed towards the wormhole, Lt.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: nods to Logan ::TO_Logan:: I know the feeling...

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Aye, sir.  

FCO_Felhaber says:
::sets course for the wormhole and engages at maximum warp::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
FCO: Remember that Europa's size and mass are very different from Hudson's. Let's link our consoles and test every maneuver, just to be sure.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Relay the information to the Hudson and the Halcyc, I think Major Selicept will want to stay with us for the rest of the ride.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: On course for the wormhole, sir, maximum warp.

TO_Logan says:
::trying to curb the temptation to get weapons ready::

Host CO_Senn says:
TO_M: What's the status of our tractor beam?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::chuckles:: CSO: Ahh, a woman who knows what she wants from a man. ::smiles and keys it up on the padd:: You can go ahead and transfer it Lieutenant. ::walks back to the aux console and starts a face-mapping program::

CNS_T`Salea says:
FCO: ETA?

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Relays the information to the Major and the Hudson::

FCO_Felhaber says:
CTO: Aye, sir.  ::links his console to the tactical console and relays the maneuvers there::

CSO_Rya says:
SFI: Thank you. ::grins at him and uploads the data.::

TO_M`Tor says:
:: looks at the console :: CO: Stable for now Captain. I shall continue to monitor

Host CO_Senn says:
::glances to the Counselor, waiting for some answers to be issued to both of them before she asks for something else::

Host CO_Senn says:
TO_M: Keep me informed.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::looks at navigation data::  CNS: Sir, approximately fifty minutes.

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: The Dominion fleet appears to be breaking up. They may be trying to go around the AQ fleet.

TO_M`Tor says:
CO: Aye Captain :: glances at TAC console ::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::nods and considers::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::takes the video capture of Captain Kim and starts running it against personnel records::

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: What's the ETA for the JH fleet? Still thirty minutes if they are not delayed by Kim and his half-fleet?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::eliminates the non-human "Kim"s in the database and whittles the list down significantly::

Host CO_Senn says:
::in a low voice:: CNS: Could you make anything out of Captain Kim?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: If I'm am not wrong all repair crews are aboard the Hudson, I suggest with bring some of them back, as we need to lower shields to beam them and we don't want to do that during the battle, right?

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  He was very brief.  But that could be in consideration of the temporal directive more then anything else.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: As soon as I have a nice report from Ficsit, we will.

CSO_Rya says:
::Scrolls through the data from the Revenant.  There doesn't seem to be anything different than what the probe found.::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: I think so, let me check.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: All right, Lt.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::smiles as he gets a 63% match with Ensign Harry Kim:: Self: I am sooo good... ::closes down the program and returns to his normal duties::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CSO: What do you read in the sensors? Dominion fleet's ETA is still 30 min, isn't it?

CSO_Rya says:
::Hear's West's comment and tries not to laugh.::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: It might have something to do with his race too. He did seem in a hurry. I'm just wondering... ::shakes her head:: it's no use to wonder right now.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks over Alara's shoulder:: CSO: Done with that, Lieutenant?

CSO_Rya says:
CTO: Yes, that's what my sensors are showing. ::frowns:: Are yours showing their fleet splitting up?

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  With so little information, it would be difficult to make further speculations.

CSO_Rya says:
::Glances at Jim:: SFI: Yes, thank you.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Sir, Mr Ficsit reports than primary repair crew are ready to beam back to the Europa.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Checks all communication channels for any leaks in the Communication Net::

CSO_Rya says:
SFI: Do you mind if I keep a copy of the data?

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Good, coordinate their return with Operations.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CSO: Not at all. I've got a copy too. ::smiles::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: I understand, but all I have been doing the past month is speculate, it seems.

CSO_Rya says:
SFI: What do you make of this? ::points to the sensors showing the dominion fleet's movements.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::busy maintaining their course towards the wormhole::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CSO: Yes, apparently their trying to go around the AQ fleet. It's a well known tactic, ancient romans on Earth invented it.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: shakes his head at the Captain's comment and whisper :: Self: Haven't we all

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO: It is hard dealing with so little facts, especially with the knowledge that the information is there, simply denied us... for the sake of avoiding changes in the past and 'future'.

CSO_Rya says:
CTO: Ah, Romans? Well, as long as you have an idea of what they're up to.

Host CO_Senn says:
::lowers her voice again:: CNS: Not to mention that I still think they want us to change this 'future' ::shakes her head:: Still speculating, you see.

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: But this fleet is too much trouble to take for just two 68 year-old ships.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: I'm sorry to ask again but I might have missed it. How far away from the JH are we?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::looks over her shoulder s'more:: CSO: Looks like a flanking maneuver to me.

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: Hudson: CEO: Is your team ready for beam out?

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  It would be rather easy for them to do so.  But more information 'doctored' would be useful for such a change.

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: I can't help but to believe we are mere pawns.

CSO_Rya says:
SFI: How do we avoid them?

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: Long-range sensors faintly detect weapons fire... the two fleets have engaged.. sensors have detected that several Dominion ships have broken through the blockade and are closing in on the Europa.

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: Time to intercept at present speed: 10 minutes and closing.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: looks at the CTO :: CTO: Sir.. we've got company

CSO_Rya says:
CO: Dominion ships have broken through and are on an intercept course.

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  The choice is still ours... unless some of them return with us...  ::Leaves the thought hanging::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks up::

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: That is something I don't even want to consider yet.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: You didn't miss, sir. I didn't tell you, I'm sorry, 30 minutes. I forgot because the dominion fleet is spliting and trying to go around the AQ fleet. I'm afraid they're trying to use an old tactic.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CSO: I'm afraid that's not my department... ::glances at Luk and then makes his way down to the command area again, padd in hand::

Host CO_Senn says:
::stands and walks towards the FCO console:: FCO: Do you think you can handle both ships from here...? Hudson and Europa I mean.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, I've only done it once before... on the Hudson.  ::smiles and looks at her::  But I don't see why I can't do it a second time.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Steps down to OPS::  OPS:  Lt, I want you to run a ships personal check.

CSO_Rya says:
::Looks over towards the tactical officers.:: CTO: Sensors are showing dominion ships on an intercept course, eta 10 minutes.

OPS_Taylor says:
CNS: Aye.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CSO: Yes, that's the name: flanking. We can do nothing, its up to AQ fleet commander to avoid being caught in that trick

OPS_Taylor says:
::Starts the personel check::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Good. We are going to use the same method as before, then.

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  It is best to deal with it now.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Some dominion ships has gone through the AQ fleet line and are heading toward us. ETA: 10 min

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Yes, sir.

CSO_Rya says:
::Frowns at the CTO:: CO: Captain, it would seem that Captain Kim fell for the manuver.

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: Not with the Dominion so near. I need you to take charge of the Hudson.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
OPS: We have to bring that repair crews back to the Europa, sir. We have 10 minutes until the JH are here

Host CO_Senn says:
CSO, CTO: Well, it couldn't be so easy I suppose.

CNS_T`Salea says:
CO:  Acknowledged.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::gets his console ready to handle two helm interfaces::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::slips into the 2nd chair beside the captain::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::quietly::  OPS:  If you find any descrpencies, hand them over to tactical to deal with.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CSO: He didn't fell for the maneuver, otherwise there would be no Capt Kim by now, he was outnumbered, that's why the JH broke through.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Hail Major Selicept, and be ready to disengage the tractor beam at his request.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::glances around the crew::  TO M'Tor/ CSO and SFI:  You are with me.

OPS_Taylor says:
CTO: I will start beam out right away.

CSO_Rya says:
CTO: Alright, either way we have ships heading for us.  ::Looks up at the CNS.:: CNS: Aye sir.

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: Captain Richards, CO of one of the escort vessels, has hailed the Europa to tell them that they will stall the Dominion as long as they can, and that once they reach the Alpha Quadrant they will be safe.

Host CO_Senn says:
CNS: We are going to do what we did before. Europa will be shields for both us and the Hudson. Lt. Felhaber will handle navigation, you will handle weapons.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Hails the Major::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::stands:: CNS: Ready, Commander. Uhm, what am I doing?

CNS_T`Salea says:
::nods and heads for the TL, awaiting the others to join her::

TO_M`Tor says:
:: blinks and nods to the CNS :: CNS: Yes Ma'am :: looks to TO Logan to relieve him ::

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Richards: Acknowledged, Captain. We will continue towards the wormhole... and we appreciate your effort.

CSO_Rya says:
::Turns her station over to Ens. Ling and heads for the TL.::

TO_Logan says:
::nods::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Tilts her head at SFI:: We are going for a short trip.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::sets up a com link to the Hudson bridge so he can talk to them easier::

CSO_Rya says:
CNS: Where are we going?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
:;smiles and joins her:: CNS: Great. I love to travel.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: moves next to the CNS ::

OPS_Taylor says:
COMM: Major: Prepare for Tractor Beam Cut off, sir.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::As they join her, steps into the TL.  As the doors close...::  All:  We are going to take command of the Hudson.  We will be weapons for the Europa's sheilds.

CNS_T`Salea says:

CSO_Rya says:
::Is worried, but tries not to let it show.::

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: I trust you know exactly what to do, Lt... be ready to activate our weapons' at a moment's notice.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
CNS: Are we going all out?

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Steps off the TL and heads for the transporter room::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS, CTO: I want you two to work together at keeping our shields at best efficiency.

CNS_T`Salea says:
SFI:  That is yet to be seen.

Host Major_Selicept says:
ACTION: Dominion forces in weapons range in 1 minute. They are charging weapons. The Dominion ships consist of:

(3) - Attack ships like those previously faced
(1) Dominion Battlecruiser, similar to that featured in 'Valiant'

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, I am ready on my end.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: And just in case, keep a transporter lock on the Hudson's crew. Even if the Halcyc magic is good, I don't want to risk them any more than necessary.

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Steps onto the transporter pad as do the others::  Transporter chief:  Please beam us to the Hudson.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye, sir. Tractor Beam is ready to be released.

CSO_Rya says:
::Unconciously puts her hand on her lower abdomen as she follows the others.::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Go ahead with the link then...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::glances at M'tor:: TO: What do you think? Is it a good day to die?

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye, sir

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Red alert. Activate the shields.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Aye, sir.  Establishing link to the Hudson.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: grins :: SFI: As always Sir !

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Disengage the tractor beam.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::establishes the navigational link with the Hudson's helm control::

CNS_T`Salea says:
::Raises an eyebrow at the SFI as they beam over::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::raises shields:: CO: Shields are up.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Hudson helm control established, sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::returns his grin:: TO: Always liked Klingons. Such optimists.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye. ::Disengages Tractor::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::dematerializes::

TO_M`Tor says:

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Yes, sir.

OPS_Taylor says:

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::steps out of the TL and follows CNS:: CNS: Where do you want me?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Take tactical.

CSO_Rya says:
::Lets her shields drop a bit, with a skeleton crew on the Hudson the energy is going to be better spent staying alive.::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CSO:  What is the enemy ships current distance.

TO_M`Tor says:

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI: Your experience.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: brings all weapons online ::

FCO_Felhaber says:

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: There's one DAS coming toward us. I'm marking it Delta1.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Target the nearest ship.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::waits for the command to perform evasive maneuvers::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Hudson is ready

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Establish a link with the Hudson's tactical station and provide them with all the information they might need.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Transfers sensors over to the aux tactical station and rushes over there -- it'll be easier than shouting across the bridge.::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Good.

TO_M`Tor says:

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
COMM: TO: I'm linking both tactical stations, you have full access of our data and viceversa

CSO_Rya says:
@::The screen lights up with the Starfleet ships in blue and dominion ships in red.::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  As soon as they are within targeting range, fire.  Keep them away from the Europa.

Host Major_Selicept says:
ACTION: The ships are 15 minutes from the wormhole..

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: sees the new information coming from the Europa and keeps it on both consoles :: COMM:CTO: Ackowledged Sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ *Shipwide*: We are now in Red Alert. All crew to the inner zones away from the bulkheads. Repair crews are now on full alert.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: ETA to the wormhole: 15 min

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, we are approximately fifteen minutes away from the wormhole at our current speed.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: opens fire on the lead ship with a full spread of torpedoes and phasers ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::slaves the nav:: CNS: Commander, the Europa's ready.

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at Nimitz, fifteen minutes can be an eternity::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: Firing Commander

CSO_Rya says:
@::Calls out the ships positions as they dance around the screen.::

Host Major_Selicept says:
ACTION: The DAS dodges phaser fire and moves to overtake the ships, and fires a torpedo which streaks past the two vessels.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::nods::

CMO_Gordon says:
::fiddles with the science station::

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: Hudson: Performing manuever Alpha One Nine.  Mark ::engages maneuver::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Puts a Tactical display on the side OPS Console::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: gets a better target lock and opens fire once more with a full spread of torpedoes ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: Hudson: Coming about.  Executing maneuver Delta Tango Six.  Mark.  ::engages maneuver::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::brings the ship around to keep it's bottom angled toward the ships to allow easier firing::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::furiously working over the helm keeping both ships properly aligned::

Host CO_Senn says:
::hopes Captain Richards manages to contains these last Dominion vessels::

CSO_Rya says:
@ TO: DAS on bearing 123.3 mark 5.0

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Delta1 has fired a torpedo but it missed.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Continous fire as they enter your field.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: I hope their targetting systems are as lousy as this first shot.

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: Hudson: Executing maneuver Delta Tango Three.  Mark.  ::engages maneuver::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods to CSO :: CNS: Aye Commander .. FIRING !

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::rolls the ship a bit to spread out shield hits to preserve power::

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, this is getting to be a little much.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: fires all phasers ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::working over the helm as fast as he can::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::smiles at Capt's comment::

Host Major_Selicept says:
ACTION: The DAS marked Delta1 is destroyed, but the torpedo heads in front of the Europa and detonates.. the Europa and Hudson drop out of warp.. the warp engines are saturated with subspace particles.. it will take hours before warp is usable again.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CSO:  Shut down all non-essential power and transfer to weapons.

CMO_Gordon says:
::reads off scans of outer space and keeps an eye out for unexpected lifeforms::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::veers the Europa away from the Hudson before they collide::

Host CO_Senn says:
::grabs her armrests as the warp bubble collapses:: All: Report

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::is thrown from hsi chair as the little ship falls out of warp::

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir! We've dropped out of warp and almost collided with the Hudson!

CSO_Rya says:
@CNS: Aye sir. ::is in the process of transferring power when the Hudson shudders and falls out of warp.::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Falls out OPS::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Grabs the back of the command chair::  CSO:  Report.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: grabs the console for support ::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::glad to have stayed in his seat::

CSO_Rya says:
@ CNS: We're out of warp.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Can we resume our course?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ ALL: Khest !.. They used our Strategy !

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, I'm moving the Europa and Hudson back into close proximity again.  ::changes course for both ships::

TO_Logan says:
::grabs the console to steady herself::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
::rubs his now-sore arm and climbs back to his station:: @ CNS: Confirmed. I cant' get the warp engines online. The nacelles can't produce a stable bubble.

CSO_Rya says:
@::Is rapidly scanning the damage reports.:: CNS: It looks like warp drives are going to be down for a while.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Helps SFI up::  SFI:  Are you alright?

Host CO_Senn says:
::is certain they didn't collide with the Hudson, or she would have arrived to the celestial temple somewhat faster than the fifteen anticipated minutes::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: re-directs all available power to phasers and locks on the closest vessel and fires ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: I'll be all right, Commander.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, it looks like the warp drive is offline.  I can't jump to warp.

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::Shunts power from all non essential systems to the weapons.::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::working the helm good::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CSO:  How long?

Host Major_Selicept says:
FYI: It will take about two hours to reach the wormhole at impulse.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Contact the Hudson and find out what the captain would like us to do.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Do we have weapons?

CMO_Gordon says:
::reads off panel:: CO: We're not going to have warp power for sometime because of that shock from the torpedo.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Gets up slowly and climbs back into OPS and types a few buttons on the OPS Panel:: CO: Warp is down for at least a couple hours.

Host CO_Senn says:
::gest a report from engineering and Taylor's report and shakes her head:: CTO: The Jem'Hadar work fast. Shield's status?

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, we should be about two hours from the wormhole..  at maximum impulse.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::rubs his arm again:: CNS: Yes ma'am. ::opens a channel:: COMM Europa: Europa, come in please. What's the new plan?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CNS: Still firing Commander. I am getting power from ... anyplace I can.

Host Major_Selicept says:
FYI: Long-range sensors indicate that the Europa and Hudson are alone for now.. the Starfleet ships appear to be keeping the Dominion at bay..

CSO_Rya says:
*CEO*: Do you have an estimate on repairs to the warp drive? ::cringes::

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: Hudson: I have reestablished our positions to 100 meters of each other.

CMO_Gordon says:
::keeps an eye out for dominion ships at science::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Status of the enemy vessels?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CSO:  Damage report of the Hudson and Europa.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Hudson: If we can both use impulse engines, we'll resume our way back to the wormhole. We're still trying to figure out our shields status. I suggest we stick together, we can still fight.

CSO_Rya says:
@ CNS: It'll take two hours to reach the wormhole on impulse.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: 80%, sir. Apparently they didn't use verteron particles, otherwise we wouldnot had shields

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, permission to proceed to the wormhole at impulse.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: That is good news.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Sir how about the Halcyc ship?

Host Major_Selicept says:
<CEO Broakinchit> *CSO*: Ma'am, it will be several hours before warp is back online.. I don't want to give a more detailed time frame.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CSO:  Acknowledged.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ COMM CO: Aye Captain. Hudson out.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Use them for the two ships.

CSO_Rya says:
@ CNS: Aye sir.  ::is typing in all sorts of stuff to her console, trying to get info, get power to the TO...::

CSO_Rya says:
*CEO*: Thanks chief.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: The Captain says we continue on. It's just going ot take us longer.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Permission granted, Lt. We don't have many other choices. Keep the Hudson in the nav link.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Aye, sir!

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: frowns at the TAC console :: CNS: I am attempting to determine that Cmdr. We destroyed one. I am attempting to determine the status of the rest.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::engages their course at impulse power::

CSO_Rya says:
@CNS: Several hours on the warp drive Commander.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: We are on course for the wormhole, maximum impulse.  ETA two hours, sir.

CMO_Gordon says:
::gets a call from sickbay:: *MO* I'll be on my way.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI: Understood.  Get a work detail on any major repairs if needed.  All others will have to wait.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Understood. FCO: Keep us as close as possible to the Hudson. COMM: CNS: We'll keep our shields around you for now. Stay as close as possible.

Host CO_Senn says:
::bites her lower lip, and then consciously stop the gesture:: FCO: Better than nothing I suppose.

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: Hudson: We have set course for the wormhole and engaged at maximum impulse.  ETA is two hours.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Keep your eyes open.  What is the status of our sheilds?

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Aye, sir.  It is.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: Understood.  ::gets the repair estimates from Engineering and starts prioritizing them in need of use::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: We have been using the Europa's shields... I have been using that power Commander.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::watching the helm closely, making corrections for both ships::

CMO_Gordon says:
::enters TL:: TL: Deck five.

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::Finds some power from the replicator system and transfers it to tactical.::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Reaches down and taps the comm button::  COM:  Europa:  FCO:  Acknowledged.  We will follow closely.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Understood, but what are our current sheild status... if needed...

CMO_Gordon says:
::exits TL and heads for sickbay::

CSO_Rya says:
@ ::Sends a message over to OPS console asking for a damage report when one is available.::
