Host Frank_SM says:
The USS Europa has been escorting the Cargo ship Shrack through space.  The pretense is to prevent pirates from taking the cargo, though that mission has recently taken a bit of a twist.
Host Frank_SM says:
<<<<<<<<<<Resume Mission>>>>>>>>>>>
CEO_Vernius says:
::On the bridge at the Engineering station, waiting::
FCO_Kami says:
::In the turbolift.::
CTO_Wolf says:
*Security*: Security team 4 to transporter room 1
CTO_Wolf says:
::follows FCO::
CO_Durron says:
::sitting on the bridge in the center chair:: CEO: What is your assessment of our situation?
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods to the CTO.:: CTO: How ya doing?
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: Fine thank you sir
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Would you care to take Ops during the away mission?  I'd like you to keep a transporter lock on the Away team...also open a channel to the Shrack.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: I don't like these odds, sir. Especially with the jury-rigged weaponry. I know how good they are, I built them. Tack on to that I don't like the Captain of the Shrack... I'd be tempted to just blast the Shrack until she's DIW, but I think you've already chosen sides for us. For good or ill, we're stuck.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: If we have to fight, we turn and fight on our own terms.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Yes sirrr. ::sits down and begins tapping on the console::
CTO_Wolf says:
::exits TL::
CEO_Vernius says:
<we turn = we should turn>
FCO_Kami says:
::Exits as well and heads to the transporter pad.::
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Thank you.
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods to the three TO's already waiting for them.::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Channel's open, sirrr.
CO_Durron says:
::smiles slightly as the CNS opens a comm channel:: CNS: Thank you.
CTO_Wolf says:
::sees Security team 4 and heads over to check his men::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Shrack: Please respond.
CTO_Wolf says:
::checks his TO`s and smiles approvingly::
CEO_Vernius says:
::stands back and watches the Captain in action::
FCO_Kami says:
::Checks his phaser rifle, setting it to stun.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::heads to transporter pad to join FCO::
CO_Durron says:
*FCO* Hold deployment until my order.
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: Got your pahser sir?
FCO_Kami says:
*CO*: Aye, sir.
FCO_Kami says:
CTO: Yes, I do. Are you and the others ready to go?
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: Aye sir locked and loaded, crewman Chavez will accompany you
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods.::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Shrack: My fee just went up.  We dispatched the first of the Thaurian ship, however we just picked up three more,  Is there a reason that the pirates are this well equipped, and this determined?
CEO_Vernius says:
*FCO*: Lieutenant, report weapons status of your team.
CO_Durron says:
::waits for an answer::
Host Felgar says:
@COM: Europa: CO: The pirates in thi9s area are very well equipped and organized.  I think we should turn back.
FCO_Kami says:
*CEO*: We are ready. Weapons are fully functional.
FCO_Kami says:
Team: We are to avoid firing on anyone, however have your weapons set to stun just in case something goes horribly awry.::
CTO_Wolf says:
::sets phaser to stun::
CO_Durron says:
COM: Europa: Felgar: Negative, we have three well equipped vessels closing from the rear.  I am sending a technical team over to your ship as it would appear you have a containment issue in your cargo bay.  Signal acknowledgement.
CEO_Vernius says:
*FCO*: You misunderstand me, what types of weapons are you carrying?
CTO_Wolf says:
::nod at FCO::
Host Felgar says:
@COM: Europa: CO: There is no problem with my containment.  Also my cargo is very sensitive, I cannot allow anyone on board.
FCO_Kami says:
*CEO*: Sorry, we are armed with hand phasers.::
Host Felgar says:
Action: The Shrack deploys it's sheilds and begins to change course.
CEO_Vernius says:
*FCO*: I see... Have the CTO grab at least two phaser rifles for your team, on my order.
FCO_Kami says:
*CEO*: Aye. CTO: Grab another phaser rifle.
CO_Durron says:
COM: Shrack: Felgar: I strongly suggest you let our team board, if not I can not in good faith continue to protect you.
CTO_Wolf says:
::leave pad and heads to weapons locker::
CTO_Wolf says:
::opens locker and grabs two phaser rifles::
CTO_Wolf says:
::returns to pad and hands one to the FCO::
Felgar is now known as Frank_SM.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: There is no further response from the Shrack
FCO_Kami says:
CTO: That one's for you.
CTO_Wolf says:
::nods::
CO_Durron says:
::swears::
FCO_Kami says:
Team: Be ready. As soon as the captain gives the order, we're heading out.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::covers ears::
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: Aye sir
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Sir, at this point, perhaps we should consider breaking our contract with the Shrack. I don't like this.
CTO_Wolf says:
::looks into the eye`s of each TO::
CO_Durron says:
CNS: Is the lead Thaurian ship in communications range?
CNS_Chitwa says:
::checks:: CO: Just a moment.
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Yes sirrr.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: I agree.  Could we disable the Shrack before the Thaurians entered weapons range?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Let's see what they say, before we do anything. Perhaps we can use the disablement of the Shrack as a makeup for disabling their ship.
CO_Durron says:
*FCO* The mission is scrubbed.  Return to the bridge.  My apologies.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Great minds Commander... CNS: Hail the lead Thaurian ship.
FCO_Kami says:
::Sighs to himself.:: Self: Dammit. Team: Return to your stations. The mission has been cancelled.
CTO_Wolf says:
::Hands phaser rifle to CPO Wall::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Would you like me to talk to them, sir?
FCO_Kami says:
Team: Thank you anyways.
CTO_Wolf says:
Team: Return to your stations, Chief Wall secure the teams weapons
CO_Durron says:
::pauses for a moment:: CEO: Maybe you should, I haven't been having much luck.
CEO_Vernius says:
::nods:: CO: I'll do my best, sir.
CTO_Wolf says:
::turns and sprints for the TL
FCO_Kami says:
::Waits for the team to disband.::
CTO_Wolf says:
<::>
CEO_Vernius says:
CNS: Put them on-screen when you get a response, Chitwa
CO_Durron says:
CEO: You have the bridge, have the FCO keep us close to the Shrack.
FCO_Kami says:
::Watches them return their weapons and head to their respective posts, then heads towards the turbolift in disappointment.::
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir.... where are you going?
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Got it sirrr. ::fluffy tail twitches::
CO_Durron says:
::stands and walks off the bridge into his ready room:: CEO: To watch over your shoulder.
CEO_Vernius says:
::chuckles::
CTO_Wolf says:
::waits for FCO::
CO_Durron says:
::brings up the communications feed from the bridge and to the bridge on his desktop than sits down.
Lynda is now known as EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle.
FCO_Kami says:
::Gets into the TL.:: CTO: Well, that wasn't how I wanted it to happen.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::looks over at the CEO:: CEO: You rrready?
CTO_Wolf says:
FCO: There` ll be another time, our time will come
CTO_Wolf says:
TL: Bridge
FCO_Kami says:
::Chuckles.:: CTO: I suppose. I really don't get to leave my post often enough. ::Sighs.::
CEO_Vernius says:
CNS: Put me on speaker to them, the standard hail isn't working.
CTO_Wolf says:
::exits TL and heads to tactical::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods and types:: CEO: Okay. Good luck. ::smiles::
CEO_Vernius says:
COM: Thaurian ships: Thaurian ships, this is Lt Commander Alan Vernius, of the USS Europa, we have no intention of firing on you again. We would like to discuss terms of a non-aggression pact. Please respond. We can and will offer up the Shrack as payment.
FCO_Kami says:
::Heads back to his post.::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::heads for engineering::
CTO_Wolf says:
::checks console::
CEO_Vernius says:
CTO: Re-affirm battle stations manned and ready. FCO: Back us off the Shrack, I want to be in optimal phaser range, but on the longish side of that.
Host Frank_SM says:
$COM: Europa: CEO: Europa, this is the Thaurian Warship Giri, you will stand down and  we will board and inspect the Cargo ship you are protecting, there is nothing to negotiate.  Do this or be destroyed.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::enters engineering and waits for orders::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::makes a face and thinks "I forrrgot how frriendly they arrre."::
FCO_Kami says:
CEO: Aye. ::Alters the course to back the ship away.::
CEO_Vernius says:
COM: Giri: The Europa will stand down, we'll even disable the Shrack if that is your wish. Feel free to board the Shrack at your convience but under no circumstances can I allow you to board the Europa.
CTO_Wolf says:
CEO: Aye sir, all decks report battle stations manned and ready,
CEO_Vernius says:
CTO: Excellent, prepare a firing solution to disable the Shrack.
CTO_Wolf says:
CEO: Aye sir
CEO_Vernius says:
::leans forward and whispers in the FCO's ear:: FCO: Prepare evasive maneuvers, start with Gamma-Epsilon.
Host Frank_SM says:
$COM: Europa: CEO: Power down all systems.  If there is even a hint of a power spike, your ship will be destroyed.
CTO_Wolf says:
::locks torpedoes on Shracks engines::
FCO_Kami says:
::Nods and prepares the said maneuver.::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Sir I have arrived in engineering.  What is it you wish me to do?
CEO_Vernius says:
::sighs:: COM: Giri: We're sorry about your ship being damaged. We'll disable the Shrack and move 2 light years away from them. We'll maintain contact, but come within firing range of us and we'll open fire on you. Europa out.
CEO_Vernius says:
CTO: Disable the Shrack
CTO_Wolf says:
::changes mind and locks rail guns onto main propulsion::
CEO_Vernius says:
EO: Prepare us for maximum warp.
CTO_Wolf says:
CEO: Aye sir
CEO_Vernius says:
FCO: If the Shrack opens fire, begin evasives.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Understood
FCO_Kami says:
::Resists the urge to roll his eyes at the obviousness of the command.:: CEO: Aye.
CEO_Vernius says:
FCO: Once the Shrack is DIW, move us 2 lightyears from them, and bring us to a halt.
CTO_Wolf says:
::fires rail guns at Shrack::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::heads over to the big board and begins the preparations for warp::
FCO_Kami says:
CEO: Aye.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Warp is available sir.
CEO_Vernius says:
*CO*: May want to come out here and take command of your ship, sir.
CEO_Vernius says:
CTO: You are authorized to fire Photon torpedoes, Ensign.
CO_Durron says:
::stands up and stretches than walks back onto the bridge:: CEO: Excellent work Commander.  ::resumes his seat::
CTO_Wolf says:
CEO: Aye sir
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The newly created weapons on the Europa do their job well, the Shracks main engines are offline.
CEO_Vernius says:
::cedes command to the CO:: FCO: Engage, Mr. Kami
CTO_Wolf says:
::locks torpedoes onto Schrack’s main propulsion systems and fires a salvo::
CTO_Wolf says:
CEO: Weapons away sir
FCO_Kami says:
FCO: Aye. ::Moves the ship away.::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Drop status to yellow alert.
CEO_Vernius says:
::stands next to the Captain::
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Aye sir
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: A power buildup is detected on the Shrack, several escape pods are jettisoned.
CTO_Wolf says:
::changes alert status to yellow::
CEO_Vernius says:
CTO: Are the Thaurian ships pursuing us? or slowing to intercept the Shrack?
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: As the power build up is detected, the Tharian ships reverse course.
CTO_Wolf says:
::checks sensors::
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: They are backing off Captain
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Now why would they do that?
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: I think because they're far more interested in the Shrack than us.
CTO_Wolf says:
::scans the Schrack::
CO_Durron says:
::looks at the CEO:: CTO: Are they backing away from us or from the Shrack?
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: the Schrack captain
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Captain suggest we back off further
CEO_Vernius says:
*EO*: How are the warp engines holding up?
CTO_Wolf says:
<back>
CO_Durron says:
::thinks for a split second:: FCO: Max warp away from the Shrack, CNS: Emergency power to aft deflector shields.  CEO: Sound collision alarm.
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: A major subspace disturbance is detected on the Shrack, which quickly leads to a massive explosion.
CTO_Wolf says:
::grabs hold of console and braces::
CEO_Vernius says:
::reaches for the button:: *ALL*: All hands, sound collision!
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The shockwave heads toward the Europa, traveling at high Warp speed.
CEO_Vernius says:
::quickly grabs a seat::
CO_Durron says:
::grips the arms of his chair::
CNS_Chitwa says:
CO: Yes sirrr. ::taps::
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Inertial Dampeners to max.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Follows the order.::
Host Frank_SM says:
Action: The shockwave strikes the Europa, systems begin to fail everywhere and the ship is rocked.  The crew is tossed about as the shock is far more than the inertial dampeners can handle.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::grabs her console:: *CEO*: You  have all propulsion at your command.
CO_Durron says:
::is thrown from his chair and lands in a heap on top of someone::
CEO_Vernius says:
::tries not to get himself killed in the craziness, letting his body relax, and not be stiff::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::goes flying across the engineering floor and into the bulkhead::
CNS_Chitwa says:
::realizes that the Cap'n is heavy::
CTO_Wolf says:
::hits wall and swears in Klingon::
CO_Durron says:
::sits up and checks the CNS that he landed on:: ALL: Status report.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
Outloud: Heu'teugh That’s going to leave a mark.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::rubs her sore arm:: CO: I'm aright.
CTO_Wolf says:
::stands and rubs head, returns to console and checks status::
CEO_Vernius says:
::Slowly stands, hoping the worst is over::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::gets up and feels something warm coming down her cheek:: Self: Damn got cut again.
CO_Durron says:
::stands and straightens his tunic than looks around the bridge::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::goes over the main boards and assesses the situation::
CEO_Vernius says:
FCO: Position report!
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
Outloud: Damn it.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: Captain sheilds and weapons are down
CNS_Chitwa says:
::gets to her feet and makes sure she's still in one piece::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Sir I got bad news and then more bad news.
CEO_Vernius says:
*EO* Can't say I'm terribly surprised by that, Lieutenant.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: With a bleeding head I figure that since we are on emergency power nothing is going to work.
CEO_Vernius says:
*EO*: Well how about running a diagnostic and telling more than what you think.
CO_Durron says:
::sits back down:: CEO: How bad is it?
FCO_Kami says:
CEO: I wish I could tell you where we are.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Oh I'd say its pretty bad, sir.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::climbs back into her seat and sighs::
CEO_Vernius says:
FCO: See what systems you need back online to figure it out and get back to me.
CO_Durron says:
::sighs:: CEO: I was afraid of that, Your priority is sensors.
CEO_Vernius says:
CO: Aye, sir. With your permission, I'll be in Main Engineering.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: I have already done that sir.  Lets see, propulsion is offline, weapons are the same, Offline. and basically everything except emergency generators are keeping envriomentals on line.
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO*: Think of worst case scenario.
CO_Durron says:
CEO: Very well.
CO_Durron says:
FCO: Head down to the shuttle bay and see if there is anything with workable sensors.
CEO_Vernius says:
*EO*: So it would seem. By the Captain's order, sensors are first priority. After that its propulsion, weapons, and shields.
FCO_Kami says:
CO: Aye. ::Set the autopilot and heads to the TL.
CO_Durron says:
CNS: See what shape the main computer is in.
CEO_Vernius says:
::gets in the TL with the FCO::
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
*CEO* Sir that is exactly what I was thinking.
CNS_Chitwa says:
::nods:: CO: Okay.
CEO_Vernius says:
*EO*: Excellent, I'll be there in three minutes, Vernius out.
FCO_Kami says:
TL: Shuttle bay.
CTO_Wolf says:
CO: All security teams have reported in Captain
EO_Lt_Marianna_Rochelle says:
::begins to work on the sensor pallets::
CO_Durron says:
CTO: Report regarding weapons status, I want any of your men who can't help out in Main engineering, to perform routine patrols around the ship.
Host Frank_SM says:
