CO: Initiating Delta 2...

CEO_Taylor says:
CTO: Rerouting available power to tractor beam emitters.

CTO_Hunter says:
::watches as the tractor beams go off:: CEO: Belay that Tractors just went off line.

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ORION CORE GOES CRITICAL

CMO_Llewellyn says:
MO: How do you know they are not trying to destroy them?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::observes the readings from Sierra 2::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO:  After roll, turn and charge.
CTO: Fire.. full spread of torpedoes.. show them we have had enough!

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Captain, their warp core is going critical!

CTO_Hunter says:
::Those as the Captain orders::

Host Tim says:
ACTION: ORION #2 EXPLODES AS GRYPHON MOVES AWAY

CEO_Taylor says:
CTO: Taking available power off tractor and I'm putting them in the shield generator.

MO_Turok says:
CMO: It should not take this long to destroy such small vessels.  I hope that the delay is not caused by incompetence at the weapons stations.

FCO_Adams says:
::rolls the ship and  turns back and begins the charge::

XO_OMallory says:
Self: Damn...

CSO_MacLeod says:
::notices the Orion ship sign vanishing from sensors::

Asia says:
::grabs the edges of her seat for support as the shockwave hits them, feels nauseated::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::raises eyebrow at that.. and lets out air she was holding in.. not too happy at the outcome of this little fight::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
MO: Well we are in a nebula, it could be tricky getting a lock, don't you think?

Asia says:
Aloud: Has anyone checked those inertial dampeners?

FCO_Adams says:
::sees the Orion ship explode::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Well... they're outta here... ::shakes his head::

CTO_Hunter says:
CO: Serria Two is destroyed. Shall I stand down to Yellow Alert?

XO_OMallory says:
CTO: Stand down from Red alert, but continue with yellow until out of nebula.

CEO_Taylor says:
CO: ME reports that secondary generator was offline, that's why shields were at 47%. My teams are on it.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::turns saying nothing and looks at the CTO shaking her head yes::

Host CO_Spencer says:
CSO: Scan for lifesigns.

FCO_Adams says:
::reduces speed down to impulse and sits back and sighs deeply::

CTO_Hunter says:
::places the ship station to yellow alert::

MO_Turok says:
CMO: ::Feels the lurch, stands up::  Ah, that should be it.  Now we wait for casualties.

XO_OMallory says:
CO: Sorry Captain...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: Aye.  Just a moment... ::scanning for lifesigns::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks over at Asia:: Asia: So... is what we were after gone now.. ?

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: Any life pods?

XO_OMallory says:
::looks at Asia::

Asia says:
CO: I guess you already deduced they didn't have the... thing.

CTO_Hunter says:
*All Hands: Stand down to Yellow Alert, battle with hostile Vessel is over.  Repeat all hands Stand down from Red Alert and maintain Yellow Alert Status.

Asia says:
::looks at the viewscreen, then back at the Captain::

Host CO_Spencer says:
XO: ::Just nods at XO::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::breathes a sigh of relief, as the ship returns to yellow alert::

CSO_MacLeod says:
CEO: Checking... ::still checking::

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: Yes.. I have figured that out.

FCO_Adams says:
::notices that her hands are shaking::

CEO_Taylor says:
*E-Teams* Orange alert status.

Asia says:
CO: There's a system, just out of the nebula, just into Cardassian space. There's talk of an important auction that is going to be held there. ::smiles::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks over at the XO:: XO: Make sure there is nothing left to save.. I guess we will be going after that freighter now..

CSO_MacLeod says:
CO: There's nothing outside captain.  Just pieces and debris.

XO_OMallory says:
CO: Aye Captain.  ::begins any salvage operation::

FCO_Adams says:
CO: Captain, course and speed sir?

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks back at Asia:: Asia: Into my ready room now ::seething with anger::

Host CO_Spencer says:
FCO: Hold on. ::Stands and move to RR::

Asia says:
::stands up, and smoothes the non-existent creases of her almost non-existent attire::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at FCO and whispers:: FCO: Hey, Cas...

FCO_Adams says:
::taps her console, hands still shaking::

FCO_Adams says:
::hears Mauro and looks up::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::moves to her ready room::

Asia says:
::then, and only when she feels there are no creases to take care of, she follows the Captain::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::makes positive with his thumb:: FCO: You did great! ::smiles and winks to her::

CTO_Hunter says:
::places security teams on SAL 3::

FCO_Adams says:
::bites her lip nervously::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::long strides into her ready room she turns as soon as Asia enters and the door swishes shut:: Asia:Who in the blazes do you think you are?! You knew this information before.. and yet.. ::Pauses trying to get a hold of her anger:: And yet........! You kept it to yourself anyway.

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: The phaser array completely destroyed?

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks over at XO:: XO: Yes, sir.  Unfortunately.

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Good driving Lieutenant...good job

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Thank you sir, just doing my job.

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: Alright.  Double check nothing is left from the ship.  If so, beam it to Cargo Bay 2.

Asia says:
::shrugs nonchalantly:: CO: If those fighters had had the weapon, there would have been no need to go to the auction site. I took a gamble.

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Aye sir. ::runs another sensor sweep on debris::

CEO_Taylor says:
::takes time to formulate so she won't jump on him:: FCO: If I may ask you, are your helm controls functioning within respectable perimeters?

FCO_Adams says:
::looks over at the CEO and frowns:: CEO: Of course they are!

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::starts reorganizing the meds on the trays returning them where they belong::

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: I see you do not value lives of others.. I would think you would value your own.. I    DO NOT GAMBLE with the lives of my crew.. If you know of any more ... gambles… may I know them now?! ::takes in a breath::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::gets surprised with FCO's answer to CEO::

CEO_Taylor says:
FCO: Thank you, Lieutenant Adams, and please try to be patient - I know I am.

FCO_Adams says:
::turns back to her console::

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: Repairs will be completed in 4 days.

Asia says:
CO: Life can be bought and sold. Still, your ship was never in danger, those were fighters after all. Anyway, about the auction...

FCO_Adams says:
::mumbles:: Self: OOoo that man...

CSO_MacLeod says:
CEO: Anything about sensors?  How bad they are?

XO_OMallory says:
CEO: Understood.  Keep me up-to-date.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::blows her hair out of her face and sits down:: Asia: Yes.. about the auction? :: the other woman had hide as thick as the ships hull::

Asia says:
::already thinking ahead:: CO: There's going to be lots of people there. Bidders from all around the quadrant, and other quadrants perhaps.

CTO_Hunter says:
::checks sensor contacts for any other contacts::

CEO_Taylor says:
::waits and sees that she mumbles:: FCO: Not what I was expecting but it's an improvement.

FCO_Adams says:
Self: He tells ME to be patient? Some people....

CSO_MacLeod says:
::approaches FCO's station:: FCO: Cassie?  What's wrong?  ::notices her hands shaking::

MO_Turok says:
::Returns to his desk to continue reading the crew's medical files::

CEO_Taylor says:
Mumbles silently: That girl wants something to complain about? I'll give her something.

Asia says:
CO: There are many interested in it already.

CEO_Taylor says:
XO: It'll be my pleasure, sir.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: And you know where it is to be held?

FCO_Adams says:
::looks up at Mauro:: CSO: I'm fine, just nerves Mauro.

Asia says:
CO: I do. ::takes the Captain's console and types down the coordinates::

XO_OMallory says:
::sits back in command chair while the CO is in her RR::

Asia says:
CO: The system is just inside Cardassian space. Out of the nebula of course. Pretty nondescript place... but they will be watchful.

Asia says:
CO: This is the place where I heard this would be happening. I wasn't that high in this organization to be let in into everything.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::looks at her:: Asia: This is not a game you know..

XO_OMallory says:
CSO: Anything out there for us to salvage?

CSO_MacLeod says:
FCO: Listen, I know this was terrible, but you did handled very well with the situation.  I'm proud of you. ::smiles and places his right hand over her shoulder::

Asia says:
::raises her eyes:: CO: I know it's not. They're after me already, or why do you think they attacked Pez's ship in the first place?

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::powers down biobeds::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::Taps her badge::*XO* Sending coordinates to next location.. after the area is clear of survivors..

XO_OMallory says:
*CO* Aye Captain.  ::turns to Adams::  FCO: Ok, here are our next coordinates.  Warp 6.

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Aye sir, warp 6.

FCO_Adams says:
::touches Mauro's hand:: CSO: I'm just glad that you're here.

XO_OMallory says:
<Press> CMO: Doctor, I have replicated 10 more hypos.  Should do for awhile.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::turns to XO:: XO: Nothing left, commander.  At least we're not going to hear the Unicorn is shooting anyone else. ::smiles::

CMO_Llewellyn says:
Press: Excellent! Thank you.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: For a group that is to have so much power they do seem to lose an awful lot.

Asia says:
CO: They can afford to.

CEO_Taylor says:
::approaches Mauro and whispers:: CSO: Careful, she bites. ::laughs as he goes farther away::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::shakes his head over CEO's comment and turns his attention back to FCO:: FCO: We'll talk later, okay? ::smiles and returns to his station::

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Engage.  ::taps comm badge::  *CO* On our way Captain.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: I understand… and you have to understand me.. tell me what you know when you know it and we can get along fine.. please no more games.

Host CO_Spencer says:
*XO* Aye..

FCO_Adams says:
XO: Engaging Commander.

Host CO_Spencer says:
::thinks how good a cup of coffee would taste::

Asia says:
CO: I can try.... :;doubtful::

CSO_MacLeod says:
::assumes SCI 1 back and initiates scans::

FCO_Adams says:
::turns the Gryphon to the new co ordinates and engages at warp 6::

Host CO_Spencer says:
::raises brow::

CSO_MacLeod says:
XO: Initiating scans.  Pattern Omega 2.

CMO_Llewellyn says:
::goes back to office to start her duty log::

Asia says:
::shrugs:: CO: I'm what I am, Captain. Raised to be a slave, rebelled to become a pirate. What do you expect?

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: I expect more. As I know that you are capable of more.

CEO_Taylor says:
*Kint* You have 4 days to get this ship in tip top shape, make me proud.

CEO_Taylor says:
<Kint>*CEO* Will do, Mike.

Asia says:
CO: Just do yourself a favor and don't bet on me. You have scruples, for me they are money in Russia.

CSO_MacLeod says:
::looks at CEO:: CEO: And what about sensors?  You did not tell me its conditions.

XO_OMallory says:
FCO: Steady as she goes, Lieutenant

FCO_Adams says:
::watches the CEO out of the corner of her eye and mumbles again:: Self: Self-centered.....XO: Aye sir.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: Sorry... sorry to disappoint you.. I do think you have it in you.. ok.. lets move on.. tell me again everything you know. ::gets up to get them coffee::

CTO_Hunter says:
::begins checking on the torpedo inventory::

Asia says:
::sighs:: CO: May I sit down?

CMO_Llewellyn says:
Computer: Open Duty Log.

Host CO_Spencer says:
Asia: Yes.  ::waves her a seat::

CEO_Taylor says:
CSO: S'cuse me, what did you say?

Asia says:
::takes a seat and wonders where to start::

Host Tim says:
