CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
Self: I'm done here ::walks to the cargo trasporter in the bay and places all the explosive he didn't use:: Computer: Beam the cargo to the empty space 1000km far from the Europa but don't materialize it, just beam the molecules

SEC_Logan says:
@TO:  Aye Sir  ::takes over weapons control::

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, we are less than an hour from the wormhole.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: Commander.. 59 minutes to the wormhole.. Sensors show no ship activity ... yet... Permission to launch a few probes to get more information.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::heads to the helm::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods:: FCO: Any news from the Dominion? Have the sensors been able to tell us anything from the place they're fighting?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO: Granted.   Passive only.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Arrives on the bridge and relieves the officer at OPS::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: Long-range sensors picking up a lone ship on an intercept course, closing fast. Sensors can't identify the vessel, the hull appears to be reflecting the sensors.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: No, sir.  I haven't received any news yet.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods and is glad the CNS is as paranoid as he is :: CNS: Yes COmmander

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
Computer: Erase the records of the beaming. ::walks towards the door and exits to the corridor:: Computer: Lock this Shuttle bay, my authorization or above is required.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: prepares the probes and launches them ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::turns:: CNS: Counselor, I've managed to get most systems back to near-peak performance. At least for the moment.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Welcome back, lieutenant. Please hail the Hudson.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Thank you.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Thank you, sir. Hailing frequency open. ::Open a channel::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::smiles back:: CNS: You're welcome, Counselor. This Starfleet stuff isn't so bad. You guys just make it look hard. ::grins and turns back to his board::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Why would we make it appear hard?

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at Taylor:: COM: CNS: Commander, what is your status?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: monitors the probe sensors ::

SEC_Logan says:
@::feels at home back at TAC on the Hudson::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::stops his comment ot open the 2-way channel for the Counselor:: CNS: Channel open.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Scans the area, and finds an unknown ship.::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM: CO: Main systems are up and operating.  We are sending out a probe ahead of us for any possible surprises, passive scan.  Casualties were negative.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::monitors probe sensors with the TO at his station to fill up some time::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::flying the Europa::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Sir, we are picking up an unknown ship approaching,

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: Commander.. ship approaching... it's reflecting the sensor scans we direct at it.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: I'm glad to hear that. Just a heads up in the case we get company... we... ::Listens to OPS and nods, she half-expected that:: We are not going to join ships again. I'm sure the Dominion will have planned something for it.

SEC_Logan says:
@::checks to see if all weapons are in working order::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Reflecting?

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::listens on the conversation::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::trims their course a little to keep in formation with the Europa::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Have you identified it?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  Captain are you picking up the ships signal ahead?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Captain, it's all done. ::closes and almost whispers:: I've taken more explosive than the necessary so no one can track the procedure by looking at quantity I took. I dematerialized the remaining.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: I can’t identify it is reflecting our scans.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: attempts to identify the ship ::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at Nimitz:: CTO: Good job, Lieutenant.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Thank you sir ::goes back to his station::

Host CO_Senn says:
::frowns:: OPS: Then perhaps we could hail it...

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: frowns at the sensor readings and curses softly ::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: I would advise against it, sir.  It could be a Jem'hadar ship.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Lieutenant?

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: We are picking the signal, yes. It's coming from the battle though, we just have not been able to identify it. It's reflecting Lt. Taylor's scans.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::checks system just to be sure nothing is going to fail in the middle of a battle.

SEC_Logan says:
@::heard the TO curse and she smiles slightly::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO&OPS: And what do we lose if it's Jem hadar?

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO/OPS: If we can see it, I believe it can see us.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  We are getting the same response.  Orders?

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: ETA for that ship to catch up with us?

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
*Bridge*: Ficsit to Bridge.. we are finishing final diagnostics on the warp engines. With luck, minimal warp should be online within 15 minutes.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: forgot about Vulcan hearing :: CNS: Commander... Sensors are not able to identify the ship.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: We are going to have to fight it separately... if it's Dominion.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Speculation?

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Hard to tell, might be within 10 Minutes.

Host CO_Senn says:
*CEO* If you can make that 8 minutes, we'll be grateful.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  Separate and come at it from different angles or bypass it?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: A cloaking device... perhaps.. a bad one for sure.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::taps into the incoming tac/sci telemetry from both of the ships, looking over the readings on the incoming bogey::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Hail the ship. If it's one of ours it will at least answer.

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: Sensors momentarily detect a slight "blip" a few thousand kilometers in front of the bogey.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: I recomend staying together and breaking apart in the last minute so they don't realize we've changed our tactic

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye, sir ::Hails the ship::

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: No response to hails.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Then a tachyon burst would not be necessary.  Monitor and discover what information you can pick up.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: I Recommend Red Alert!

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: I've detected another blip in front of the ship .. I speculate it's a torpedo.. recommend evasive immediately !

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: I think they may have fired something to us, it may be a prove too

FCO_Felhaber says:
::listening to the bridge conversation::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Doctor, are you picking up anything?

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::monitors sensors to see if at any instance they will work::

Host CO_Senn says:
::nods at Nimitz:: CTO: Red alert.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::switches to red alert::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Evasive manuever.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO: Red alert

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: I am getting the same readings as the TO.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: brings the ship to Red Alert :: CNS: Going to Red Alert Commander.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::having a little difficulty keeping the big ship in check:: CNS: Aye Commander, working on it right now. :: pulls sharply to starboard::

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: Another sensor blip, a few thousand meters in front of the bogey. If it is a torpedo, it is going roughly the same speed as the bogey.

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::tries and scans the incoming torpedo::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::re directs all energy to aft shields::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: I got a Torpedo Incoming!

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Tie in computers with tactical.

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: Aye. ::tries and scans what is believed to be a torpedo::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::rolls the ship a little, swinging in a wide arc toward port again, trying to stay close enough to assist the Europa::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Be ready to engage evasive maneuvers.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS/CTO: Are we positive it's a torpedo?

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Just not yet, maintain formation with the Hudson until the last possible moment.

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:  Weapons are ready  ::smiles::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@ALL:  We need some information.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Yes, sir.  I will be ready.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SEC:  Acknowledged.  Shield status?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: No sir. It's got the same speed than the vessel, I don't think it is.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Correction, I speculate it could be another ship smaller in size

FCO_Felhaber says:
::readies the helm::

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:    Fully functional.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::looks at his board:: CNS: Uhm... ::looks over his shoulder:: I've evaded. Now what?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: frowns at the reading :: CNS: It does not appear to be a torpedo.. it is travelling at the same speed as the ship... However I still recommend evasive Commander.

Host CO_Senn says:
::frowns and bites her lower lip. She hates guessing games::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
Bridge: I'm marking the Unknown vessel as alpha1

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SEC:  Prepair to redirect all nonessential power to shields.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: How long until we're face to face with that... thing and the two little things?

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: The bogey begins firing weapons, but it too far away to hit either the Europa or Hudson... it appears to be firing at whatever is in front of it..

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Continue evasive maneuvers.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
Bridge: Secondary contact is Alpha2

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:  Acknowledged.  ::redirects all nonessential power to shields::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: The bogey is firing upon the object in front of it Commander.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: It is firing at something infront of it.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Alpha1 seems to firing to alpha2, that's weird

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Check the long range sensors behind us.  I do not wish any unexpected vistors from behind.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::keeps their position::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: There's an Evasive Beta maneuver here, I'm using that. ::engages Beta, dropping lower relative to the Europa and accelerating::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  ETA till we are within range?

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::nods and reads off panel::

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: 3 minutes until weapon's range. Alpha1's weapons ARE starfleet

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: As far as our sensors can pick at this distance, the alpha1's weapons are not starfleet

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: We're holding position, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: You can bet it is. I can guess one of those is friendly, the other isn't, but from there to offer help to ships that do not answer hails...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::checks the plotter:: CNS: About three minutes, Counselor.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: 3 minutes till weapons range

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  CO:  Captain.  Shall we interrupt the following bogeys firing practice?

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: Sensors only pick up the firing object but but still not what it is firing upon. It may be too small for us to pick up or our scanners are just not working.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, holding position off the Hudson, but still maintaining course towards the wormhole.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Have everything ready to be fired. We have no time to separate the ship, I'm afraid...

FCO_Felhaber says:
::mentally smacks self::

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: The weapon's fire strikes an object a few times, and sensors definitely detect a ship in front of Alpha1.. possibly cloaked.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Good, Lieutenant. Contact whoever is at helm on the Hudson and find out how long until they get back warp.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Aye, sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::opens a com to the Hudson bridge::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: frowns :: CNS: Target Alpha 1 has Starfleet Signature Commander.. Permission to target object Alpha 2 ?

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Alpha 1 is a possible cloaked ship.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: I don't think so, commander. We don't even know who they are, so I suggest we wait and be ready to defend ourselves if needed.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Can you aim to disrupt their fire?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::pushes the blue comm button:: COMM: FCO: Yes?

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: The Hudson's CEO sends a message to the Bridge to say they now have warp... the Europa, however, does not (yet).

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM: CO:We are picking up a starfleet signature.

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: Hudson Bridge: This is Mr. Felhaber.  How much longer until you get warp?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods to the CNS :: CNS: Targeting now and ready for evasives and targeting at warp commander.

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:  We have warp now Commander. Just got word from ENG.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::glances at the incoming communiqué from Engineering:: COMM FCO: Just got updated, here. We now have Warp.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: Are you positive? Which ones is it, Alpha 1 or 2?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SEC:  Pass the information to the Europa.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::turns around:: CNS: I've just passed that along.

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:  Aye Commander

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Verify M'Tor's readings.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM: CO:  Verifying now.

SEC_Logan says:
@COM:  Europa:  We have warp now.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: Good.

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: Alpha 1 was the bogey that was firing on alpha 2.

CNS_T`Salea says:
COMM:  CO:  Alpha 2.  The ship being fired upon.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, the Hudson reports that they have warp capability now.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::starts running checks on the Warp engines, saturating the nacelles and locking them into running position::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::readies to jump to warp with the Hudson::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Prepare to go to warp when ready.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Alpha1, which seems to be starfleet, is firing to alpha2, a cloaked vessel, I suggest helping alpha1... or running away when we have warp

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: The bogey and whatever-is-in-front-of-it will be in range in 30 seconds..

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::is rather proud of himself:: CNS: Already on it, Commander. Ready to jump on your orders

TO_M`Tor says:
SEC: Lock all weapons on Alpha 2 and prepare to fire on the CNS orders.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@ COMM:CO:Verification:  Alpha1 appears to have a starfleet signature.

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
*Bridge*: This is Ficsit.. you have warp, but don't push it past warp 4 or so for a while. I don't like the readings I'm getting from the warp core.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: 30 seconds...

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: 30 seconds to fire range. We have a positive identification of Alpha1 as a Starfleet ship

SEC_Logan says:
@TO:  Aye  ::locks all weapons on Alpha 2 and waits for the CNS' orders::

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: A Jem'Hadar Battlecruiser suddenly decloaks in front of the bogey.. it is heading for the Europa and Hudson.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::gets ready for evasive maneuvers::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@Self: Ah Jeez... ::looks at the huge blip that appeared::

OPS_Taylor says:
Self: Oh Crap. CO: We have a Jem'hadar BattleCruiser decloaking

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: Sensors picked up that Alpha 2 has just decloaked.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Readings?

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:  Ready for your order to fire, Commander.

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: Jem'Hadar battlecruiser.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: I suggest we jump to warp at the first opportunity.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: looks at the TAC sensors :: CNS: Alpha 2 is a Jem'Hadar Commander.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  CO:  Do we leave the federation ship behind?

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: Like now.
FCO: Take us to warp.
CTO: Fire everything against that battlecruiser.

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: Alpha2 (the Jem'Hadar Battlecruiser) starts firing... a missile hits the Europa and knocks its shields down to 80%.. same with the Hudson, shields down to 75%.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: Yes we do.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Aye, sir!

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Looks at SFI::  SFI:  Warp now....

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::Fires everything as ordered::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::engages the engines at maximum warp speed:: CO: We're at warp, sir.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: Aye! ::hits the ENGAGE button::

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: The Hudson and Europa jump to warp, the Battlecruiser is bombarded with torpedoes.. numerous explosions.. unknown if it was destroyed.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Shields at 80%

CNS_T`Salea says:
@Tac:  Devert power to shields.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Holds onto the Console::

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Status of the battlecruiser? Is it after us?

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:  Commander our shields are at 75%  ::while diverting power to shields::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: diverts power from anywhere he can find it and re-routs it to the shields :: CNS: Aye Commander.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Do not get ahead of the Europa.  Pace her.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Status of the BC is unknown

Host CO_Senn says:
::shakes her head:: Self: That was close.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: What is your status?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO: Sensors report?

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: Yes ma'am... I just need to shave a little speed off... ::lowers the mix on the nacelle and varies the warp bubble to slow down::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks at the damage reports coming in:: CO: Minor damage to shields.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  CO:  Sheilds down to 75%.  Rerouting power.  No other damage.

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: No ships or objects appear to be pursuading us.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: Good. Same here, but we can't go faster than warp 4, though.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: We are about three minutes from the wormhole, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: All right. Be prepared for full stop at the entrance to the wormhole.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Acknowledged.  Any idea who our federation assistant was?

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Full stop, sir?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  CO:  We are keeping pace with you.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::swivels in his chair to look at CO::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: continues to monitor data from the probes trying to check for ships in pursuit ::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Yes. We'll do a full stop there, unless we receive more unwanted company. Inform the Hudson.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::puzzled:: CO: Aye, sir.

SEC_Logan says:
@::makes sure all available power is going for the shields::

FCO_Felhaber says:
COM: Hudson: Captain Senn has requested that we come to an all stop before we enter the wormhole.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  ETA to the wormhole?

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::brings shuttles control online and links them to his console:: CO: Shuttle's controls ready.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Let me know if the shields can be repaired, and... see if you can find a way to have our sensors find any other blip.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Stand down to yellow alert.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Redistributes power to reinforce the shields:: CO: Aye.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CNS: Aye Commander :: switches to Yellow Alert while staring at the TAC scanners ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: We should be on it any second now, Counselor..

FCO_Felhaber says:
::doesn't understand why we wouldn't just head on through the wormhole at impulse::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@Tac:  I want the sensors at maximum before entering the wormhole.  See what you can do.  Shut down all necessary stations as needed.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Don't rush it. We still have something else to take care of before... we use that.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Recalibrates the sensors to detect the cloak::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Prepare to slow to impulse.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: nods :: CNS: Understood Commander.. I'll find the power from somewhere... :: starts shutting down non-essential systems ::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::gets ready to cut the warp engines:: CNS: Ready...

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: Wormhole in range in 25 seconds... 24... 23.. oops, you just passed it!

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: Why are we stopping though?

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, we're almost at the wormhole.

Host CEO_Ficsit says:
ACTION: The Europa and Hudson reach the wormhole and drop to impulse.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  To calibrate with the Europa.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Full stop before entering, lieutenant.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Have we?? Sorry captain, I guess I'm like an eager beaver when I have to blow things up.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Yes, sir.  ::drops out of warp and brings the ship to a halt::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Prepare to stop just behind the Europa.

Host CO_Senn says:

Senn: I figured as much, so I was already en route when you paged me, Captain.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Looks up at the Captain:: CO: Nothing, sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Sir, the wormhole is right there... shouldn't we go through?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@All:  Status check.

SEC_Logan says:
@CNS:  All available power is rerouted to shields and weapons are still ready to go Commander.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@Sec:  Shield strength?

TO_M`Tor says:
@ CNS: Sensors show nothing so far Commander ... I take it we are waiting on the Europa Commander ?

CNS_T`Salea says:
@TO:  Yes.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::brings the Hudson up along side the Europa::

Host Michael_Taylor says:

COMM: Hudson: CNS: Sir, we'll get going when the Captain is done with her business.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::opens a shipwide comm:: CNS: Yes Commander.  *SHIPWIDE*: Hudson Crew, We are preparing to enter the Bajoran wormhole. Please be prepared to man your stations at full alert.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
Senn: In order to preserve the timeline, I have implanted a computer virus into both the Europa and Hudson. I assure you Captain, that this virus will not harm your computer systems, it will simply remove all traces of information concerning the modifications I made. If I were to give you that information now, .... <continued>

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM: OPS:  Acknowledged.  We are prepared to follow in behind you unless otherwise ordered.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
<continued> ....  it would dramatically alter the timeline as you know it.

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: I was going to have it done anyway.::doesn't look like she likes that at all:: Still, we're bringing back knowledge.

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: If I may ask you one last question...

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Looks around the bridge at each crewmember with a slight nod::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: returns the CNS' look ::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
Senn: Of course, Captain.

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: Were we brought here on purpose?

SEC_Logan says:
@::returns the nod and knows the next few moments will be a momentous event no matter the outcome::

Host CO_Senn says:
::looks into Taylor's eyes::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::picks his nose and hides the *sin* under his console::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
Senn: You may have the knowledge, but the modifications were very complex.. unless a member of your crew has a superb memory...
::sighs::
Yes, you were brought her on purpose. Though I can not disclose why.

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: In which case I'll just have to colonize the planet you told me we had ::smiles::

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: I'd like to ask you more questions, but... instead, I'd like to thank you for helping us. Just one last request. Kick whoever had the great idea of bringing us here.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Looks at the screen, her shields tight as the crews emotions arise to a higher level of both anticipation and fear.::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::nods::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@::has a sneaky feeling that Intel is happening and he's being kept out::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
Senn: I think you better hurry, before that Battlecruiser returns.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::itches to push the engage button and get on through the wormhole::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: notices his fist clench and attempts to calm himself down ::

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: I have mixed feelings about all this. But the effort that you and everyone made to help us is indeed appreciated.

Host CO_Senn says:
::starts walking towards the bridge::

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::taps fingers on science console::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Takes a deep breath, centering herself::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Scans clear?

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: Take the CanonFotter with you. It's in the shuttlebay.

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Permission to escort my son to the shuttlebay.

Host CO_Senn says:
::enters the bridge, and turns to look at Taylor:: Taylor: Goodbye... and may the Prophets guide you ::he sure needs some guidance::

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: Clearer then ever.

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: You stole the words from my mouth ::smiles:: Permission granted.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
Senn: Very well Captain. It was certainly nice to meet you.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Nods::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks to the TL::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  Prepare to enter the wormhole.

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Have the shuttlebay personnel prepare the CannonFotter fand stand by to clear it for launch.

Host CO_Senn says:
Taylor: And you as well.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: AYe, sir.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::send orders down to the shuttlebay and has the crewmen there prepare the CannonFotter::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::smiles at T'salea:: CNS: I thought you'd never ask, Commander.

FCO_Felhaber says:
CO: Orders sent, sir.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Now would be a good time to launch the Instigator.
FCO: Sorry for stepping over you here and assigning this to Nimitz.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::shifts in seat, anxious to get going::

SEC_Logan says:
@::her anticipation of seeing her two kids and her husband are mounting as each moment passes::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::heads to the turbolift, with his father in tow::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks towards the Shuttlebay::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
FCO & hudsonFCO: This is the flight patter we have to follow for the explosion to be efective ::sends it to their console::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  When the Europa's guest leaves, it won't be much longer.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Do not have the Instigator enter the wormhole until after the CannonFotter has cleared it.

FCO_Felhaber says:
::wonders what the Instigator is::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::launches the Instigator and makes it stay by the two ships::

FCO_Felhaber says:
::receives the flight path::  CTO: Received, sir.

OPS_Taylor says:
Taylor: Son, I'll miss you.  But I won't I guess...

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::plots their path in to flank the Europa, a little to the right and behind:: CNS: Course plotted. Ready to enter the wormhole on your signal.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: continues to monitor the sensors and feels himself calm down ... ::

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::continues tapping::

Host CO_Senn says:
::opens hailing frequencies:: COM: CNS: Counselor, this is our flight plan.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::sees a message pop up on his display and reads it, making the changes it suggested::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::turns to face his father::
OPS Taylor: Don't worry, you'll see me again soon. Just remember that everything that has happened the past three months may or may not happen in the future. ::says a bunch of stuff that's really emotional and heart breaking, blah blah blah::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  CO:  We are awaiting initiation of the wormhole at which point we will follow you.

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::feels eyes boggling from staring at the science screen::

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: The CannonFotter will enter the wormhole first. After it, another shuttle will do the same.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: Then the Europa and you will follow us in formation... just like we did three months ago.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Heads down to the Shuttlebay, and relieves the Shuttle Operator.:: Taylor: Son. Take care of yourself. ::Hugs his son::

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: listens to the Captain's orders and frowns ::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
OPS Taylor: Well.. I'm sure the crew wants to get back, so I had better get going. Stay safe, dad. ::walks into the shuttle and preps for launch::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:  Acknowledged.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: CNS: And... make sure your shields are down.

TO_M`Tor says:
:: blinks and looks to SEC and nods ::

OPS_Taylor says:
::Walks to the controls, and opens the Shuttlebay doors::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Not happy about that but understood::  Sec:  Lower shields.

SEC_Logan says:
@::nods as she lowers the shields::

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::feels eyes are really boggling::

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Lower our shields as well.

OPS_Taylor says:
*CO*: My....Michael is ready to launch.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: Aye captain ::lowers shields::

Host CO_Senn says:
*OPS* The shuttle is cleared for departure, lieutenant.

Host Michael_Taylor says:
::brings the shuttle's systems online, and exits the shuttle bay, heading for the wormhole::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@CMO:  Monitor the wormhole as it is activated.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Watches through the Viewer on the Shuttle Operations Console, the shuttle::

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: Aye.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: monitors sensor activity ::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: The shuttlecraft CanonFotter enters the wormhole without incident, and the entry point closes behind it.

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::monitors sensor activity with the TO::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Watches the wormhole open and close::   CMO:  Any unusual observations?

CMO_Gordon says:
@ CNS: All clear.

Host CO_Senn says:
*OPS* Please return to the bridge, lieutenant.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
CO: I'm receiving a message from Michael Taylor, sir

OPS_Taylor says:

OPS_Taylor says:
::Heads for the Bridge::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
$COMM: Europa: Captain, I've made it to the other side.. you are free to commence the jump. Good luck.

Host CO_Senn says:
::takes her seat, and waits:: CTO: On screen.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Nods::  All:  One down, two to go.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Taylor: And to you. Thanks again.

Host CO_Senn says:
CTO: Close the comm channel... and have the Instigator enter the wormhole.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Takes the Express TL, and Arrives on the Bridge::

Host Michael_Taylor says:
ACTION: Fast forward several minutes, the Instigator enters the wormhole just fine... now hurry up and enter the danged thing!

OPS_Taylor says:
::Goes to his Console::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::closes the comm and flies the Instigator toward the wormhole::

Host CO_Senn says:
FCO: Take us into the wormhole, 1/4 impulse.

Host CO_Senn says:
COM: Hudson: Follow us in.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@COMM:CO:  Acknowledged.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ ::gets the notification:: CNS: We're cleared to enter. Engaging impulse engines.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: grabs the TAC console and grins in anticipation ::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@SFI:  On my mark, 1/4 impulse into the wormhole.

Host CO_Senn says:
<FCO> ::takes the E into the wormhole::

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: Monitor the verteron particle levels in the wormhole.

SFI_LtCmdr_West says:
@ CNS: Aye Commander. ::fires the engines, taking the sleak Intrepid into the wormhole, full bore::

OPS_Taylor says:
CO: Aye.

OPS_Taylor says:
::Monitors Verteron levels::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Watches the wormhole open as they pass through::

Host CO_Senn says:
::waits until the position is the one Longmuir explained to her, and takes a deep breath:: CTO: The time is now. Blow it up, lieutenant.

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
:: blows the shuttles up KABOOMM!::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Watches the explosion::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: The shuttle filled with trilithium explosives explodes, and the ships exit the wormhole.......

CMO_Gordon says:
@ ::watches a computer diagram of the explosion::

Host Mikey says:
ACTION: Location: Section 001. Just a few million kilometers from Earth.

TO_M`Tor says:

SEC_Logan says:
@::doesn't care about the Temporal Directive as long as she gets to see her family::

CTO_Luk_Nimitz says:
::relieved to see they are in the 24th century again::

Host CO_Senn says:
::looks around the bridge:: CTO: Let me know if there is anything left in the computer from the modifications Michael Taylor made.

TO_M`Tor says:
@ :: exhales deeply ::

Host CO_Senn says:
OPS: I suggest we send a message to Starfleet Command. Just let them know we're back. You can send one to your wife while you're at it ::smiles::

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Quietly::  SFI:  Stand down.

CNS_T`Salea says:
@::Closes her eyes and reaches out for her husband::
