Klord
 :prologue: the CO and the CMO have beamed to the ship. A large support beam on the bridge has just crashed down after a stray hit from a weapon pinning the XO and #2
     
Klord
 <<<Resume mission>>>

Coreena
 ::Next Talan, looks at him, then goes to help the XO::

EO Davidson
 ::looks at the CSO:: CSO: Give me a hand sir please I can't lift this on my own
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::brings her ship close to the Hayden and keeps using the Hayden as a cover::
   
CSO Lys
 *MO*  I'm beaming the XO and CEO to sickbay - they've been caught under a support structure  :: moves quickly to OPS and begins the transport ::

CEO Michaels
 ::Struggles underneath the weight of the beam, trying to get out from beneath::
 
MO Bishop
 *EO/Bridge*: Acknowledged ::gets up and grabs her medkit:: Manning: You have sickbay... I'll be on the bridge.

CMO Cutter
 ::Staggers, still supporting Jason, happy to be back on the ship...::

FCO Knight
 ::Has the Hayden move out as quickly as possible::
   
Coreena
 ::Pauses as Talan beams them off the bridge, much more efficient.::

EO Davidson
 CSO: We may not want to beam them out just yet....more support could fall
 
MO Bishop
 *CSO*: Understood.....::looks to Manning:: Manning: Never mind, prepare biobeds 4 & 6
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::continues to fire on the planet::
   
CSO Lys
 :: initiates transport ::  EO:  Then I suggest you start working on structural integrity immediately
 
MO Bishop
 ::runs into sickbay and begins to gather supplies::

CMO Cutter
 ::falls to her knees, groans in pain::
 
MO Bishop
 ::watches the XO and CEO beam into sickbay and nods at her nurses and medics to begin to work::

CEO Michaels
 ::feels the transporter beam take effect and stops struggling as he rematerializes on the cold floor of sickbay::
   
Coreena
 ::Torn between helping with engineering and the post she was to take.::
 
CO Cutter
 ::slumps down beside her:: CMO:  Honey, we're hooooome!

EO Davidson
 ::flies to the engineering station:: CSO: Sir....warp engines are off line...and I have put all available power to the SIF field....working on full damage report
   
CSO Lys
 :: moving back to SCI :: FCO:  Are we moving away from the weapons fire?

CMO Cutter
 CO: Funny Jase.

CEO Michaels
 ::waves off the nurses::  MO: You could have at least put me on a biobed.  ::grins::  Starts to move his right hand and realizes his shoulder's been dislocated::
   
CSO Lys
 :: working completely on his Starfleet training ::  Coreena:  Assist Jay, sounds like he needs the help

FCO Knight
 CSO: Aye. I'm getting us out of the vicinity of this planet. We're moving at best possible speed. Warp engines are offline.

EO Davidson
 CSO: Permission to get to engineering sir...things are going to be hell down there.

CMO Cutter
 ::looks around to see where they ended up:: CO: What? No welcoming party?  Guess you aren't as important as you thought
   
Coreena
 ::Nods and turns to the Engineer::  EO:  Do you wish me to go instead?
 
MO Bishop
 ::runs her tricorder over the CEO:: CEO: You must have hit your head harder than you thought...::nods to the biobed:: you ARE on a biobed Commander....::grins::
   
CSO Lys

FCO Knight
 EO: Better make it quick!

CEO Michaels
 MO: Oh stop it with the scanner, I'm fine...::walks over to a wall and slams his arm into it, setting it back into the socket with a grimace and an escaping tear::  MO: Owww....  I'll be on the bridge if you need me.

CMO Cutter
 ::grimaces, pushing herself up off the floor:: CO: I will.  Trust me, I will.
 
CO Cutter
 *Bridge* Anyone home?
   
CSO Lys
 *CO* Captain, Lys here sir.
   
Coreena
 ::Moves toward the engineering station.  From there, ties in OPS::

CMO Cutter
 ::leans against a wall, too tired, sore, etc to be bothered with thinking about what they should be doing next::
 
MO Bishop
 ::places herself in front of the CEO:: CEO: And just where do you think you're going?

EO Davidson
 CSO: Sir...SIF it at 75%, warp core is off line....torpedo bay took a bad hit. The only thing working is the phasers. ::zips out and heads for engineering::
 
CO Cutter
 *CSO*  Just thought I'd let you know we're home.

CO Cutter
 *CSO*  Beam us both to sickbay

CMO Cutter
 ::stifles a laugh and then holds her side::

CEO Michaels
 MO: I'm going to do my duty, Doctor.  And I know, you outrank me in medical situations, so I'll put it like this.  Get out of my way, or I'll throw you across the room.  ::Grins broadly::
   
CSO Lys
 *CO* Aye sir  :: initiates the transport from SCI ::
   
CSO Lys
 *MO*  CO and CMO are beaming to sickbay now doctor

EO Davidson
 ::enters engineering:: Self: My god!
 
MO Bishop
 :;scowls:: CEO: Don’t under estimate me Commander... I have a black belt....
 
MO Bishop
 CEO: But if this were any other situation I'd detain you under security... at least let me give you a pain killer
 
CO Cutter
 ::materializes with the CMO in sickbay::
 
MO Bishop
 *CSO*: Understood. Bishop out

EO Davidson
 *MO*: Doctor...if the Chief is able to return to duty.....I am going to need him down in engineering.....

CEO Michaels
 MO: And you have our two most senior officers beaming in with what I would guess are much more serious injuries than mine.  Thank you but no, I'll be fine, pushes past her and out the door before another word can be said.

CMO Cutter
 ::sees the chaos in sickbay, still helping to hold Jason up::
     
Klord
 Action: the battle continues to rage the combined armada is beginning to get the upper hand and a larger and larger percentage of the Srelbraw home world is engulfed in flames
 
MO Bishop
 ::growls after the CEO and makes a note to get back at him::
 
CO Cutter
 ::pushes Keely toward a bio bed::

CEO Michaels
 ::curses his stubborn streak as his shoulder aches annoyingly::  TL: Bridge.
 
MO Bishop
 ::watches the CO and CMO materialize:: CO/CMO: Good Lord! ::rushes over and helps them to their biobeds
 
CO Cutter
 MO:  Help me with Keely, Doctor.

CMO Cutter
 ::lets out a piercing whistle:: MO: What the heck is going on in here?  And do you think someone might actually help the Captain here, if that isn't too much trouble? ::sarcastic::

CSO Lys
 :: seeing the reports from sensors he is at a loss as to what to do... he wants to go back and try and save lives on the planet... but that will surely destroy the ship, and the XO ordered them away... in his confusions looks to Coreena as the CEO arrives ::

CEO Michaels
 ::arrives on the bridge::  CSO: Mr. Lys, report.
   
Coreena
 ::Warns various areas that they will soon be without power, then begins to shut down nonessential areas, rerouting power.::

EO Davidson
 Computer: What is the current status of the warp core?

MO Bishop
 ::nods to Manning to help the CO:: CO: Never mind her, Captain... you get to your bed... I'll see to her....

CMO Cutter
 MO: Ignore what he said and deal with Jason.  He has multiple injuries... dislocated shoulder...

CEO Michaels
 ::makes his way to the center chair::
 
MO Bishop
 <Manning>::helps the CO to lie down::
 
CO Cutter
 MO:  I'm headed to the bridge.  Give me something to keep me going.

FCO Knight
 ::Notes the view of the planet and all around it, on the screen, isn't good.
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  Warp core and torpedoes offline, we are still proceeding towards the moon as ordered sir
   
Coreena
 ::Sensing Talan, turns with a smile, then goes back to her work.::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO: The Captain and CMO are aboard
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  The planet is taking major damage
 
MO Bishop
 CO: Like hell you are! I just had one officer leave here and I'm not about to let you...::grabs him and shoves him back down::

CMO Cutter
 ::hears Jason demanding to leave and shakes her head... then muffled 'ouch' heard::

CEO Michaels
 CSO: Understood, and what are our standing orders?

EO Davidson
 *Bridge*: The core it out like a light...I am going to do my best to get it back up.
 
CO Cutter
 ::looks at Keely amused for a second::   CMO:  What is it about you doctor types.... no respect

CMO Cutter
 MO: DON'T SHOVE HIM! ::almost flies off the biobed, sore = cranky::
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  XO's last orders were to get out of the fighting Commander

CMO Cutter
 ::closes her eyes:: CO: Uh huh.  Not commenting, dear.  MO: Sorry 'bout that.
 
CO Cutter
 ::swings back off the bed, wincing::  MO:  That wasn't a request... my ship is being blown to hell.  Give me something or don't, but I’m leaving.

FCO Knight
 Self: Get out of fightin' is easier said than done.

CMO Cutter
 CO: A wheelchair might be in order Jason. ::knows arguing is futile::

CEO Michaels
 ::Frowns::  CSO: Well that probably was the smart thing to do...Hail the planetary government, and the two fleet flagships, let me know if anyone responds.
 
CO Cutter
 ::gives a weak grin to Keely::  CMO:  Figure the odds.
 
MO Bishop
 ::growls under her breath and injects the CO with a strong pain killer:: CMO: What is it with this crew and their health?...CO: Fine... go... but your to get back here as soon as this is over with... don't make me pay you a visit on the bridge

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: The core it out like a light...I am going to do my best to get it back up. its going to take between 30 and 45 minuets
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::scans the area for Suberec's flag ship::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Get it done in 20 Mr. Davidson.
 
CO Cutter
 ::heads out the door and toward the bridge::  MO:  Have a nice day.... and fix my wife.

CMO Cutter
 MO: Um.. I have no idea.
 
CO Cutter
 ::enters the TL::  Bridge
   
CSO Lys
 CEO:  Aye  :: seeing Coreena is busy coordinating with engineering, initiates the three hails ::

MO Bishop
 CMO: Lay Still Doctor...

CMO Cutter
 ::grimaces:: MO: I hate being a patient...

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Aye....can you send anyone down here?
 
MO Bishop
 ::runs her scanner over her and grins:: CMO: At least I can't lose you to your duty... you work here...

CMO Cutter
 MO: Maybe keep a lock or reading or something on him?  Please?

FCO Knight
 ::Tries to push the ship to move a bit faster::

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Can't spare a soul, pull in Gamma shift if you need to.
 
CO Cutter
 ::enters the bridge and looks around at the damage::  CEO:  Report Brynn
 
MO Bishop
 ::winks at the CMO:: CMO: Don't you worry Doctor... I'll have our medics follow him.

CMO Cutter
 ::small smile:: MO: True.  Got me there.
   
CSO Lys
 :: feeling the relief of not having to make the decisions, he is better able to concentrate on his duties... seeing the Captain arrive, his hopes soon grow ::

CMO Cutter
 MO: Thanks.  I figured you would..

CEO Michaels
 CO: You should NOT be here right now....and now that I've gotten that obligation out of the way, we're making our way out of the fray.
   
Coreena
 ::Quietly:: *EO*:  There is quicker way, but it is not the safest.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Aye....I will have it done in 10 *Gamma Shift* report for duty..

EO Davidson
 ::whispers:: *Coreena* Pardon me?

CEO Michaels
 CO: I've put out a hail to the governments, nothing back so far.
 
CO Cutter
 All:  Who's manning weapons and shields?

Ambassador Surberec
 <Tolafra Flagship>COM: Hayden: We read you Hayden, we will crush our enemy in short order

CEO Michaels
 CO: May I amend that...They're all yours Captain.  ::Steps aside::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::picks up Suberec's ship and is actually glad he's still in one piece::
   
Coreena
 *EO*:  There is another way to quick start the warpcore.  But it has inherent danger to it... but if it is needed...

EO Davidson
 ALL Engineering Crew: Let's get that core back on line any way we can....now move.
 
MO Bishop
 ::smirks at the CMO and nods at Manning:: Manning: Head to the bridge and keep your eye on the CO... don't get in the way, just be there should he need you....

EO Davidson
 *Coreena* Care to explain....I have never heard of a quick start
 
CO Cutter
 COM:  Surebrec.... how nice to see you again.
   
CSO Lys
 :: continues monitoring the situation on the planet ::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Status of weapons and shields?
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: I'll leave him to your care once I get you fixed up...
 
CO Cutter
 FCO:  Where we headed to and how fast are we headed there?
 
CO Cutter
 CEO:  Man tactical

Ambassador Surberec
 <Selabraw Defence Ministry> COM:Hayden: You are still here? Haven't you done enough? SF is responsible for the destruction of our world!
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  Torpedoes are not functioning, phasers 100%, shields holding but weak

CMO Cutter
 ::hollers at Manning:: Manning: And if he questions you tell him its either you or his wife watching him, got it?
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Do you have planetary scanners?
 
MO Bishop
 ::closes the regenerative dome over her and sets it to work on her internal injuries::

FCO Knight
 ::Bangs on console:: Hayden: C'mon love!.
   
Coreena
 *EO*:  Look up Enterprise .  It was accomplished by their chief engineer, Scotty.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Aye sir

CMO Cutter
 MO: Yeah..  I know. ::closes her eyes again::

EO Davidson
 ::stands at the console in front of the core:: Creese: Check the primary coolant systems...Reed check the Matter anti matter injectors.

Ambassador Surberec
 COM: CO Cutter! Good to see you alive and well....
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Scan the planet and get the coordinates of the damn park they're all bent out of shape about.

FCO Knight
 CO: We're headed out away from here. I've got full impulse, but not for long.

CO Cutter
 COM:  I'll bet.  No guilt pangs for murdering the Ambassador and leaving me and my wife to deal with it?

EO Davidson
 *Coreena*: Got the quick start...and your right it has its dangers

CEO Michaels
 ::walks down and looks over Mr. Knight's shoulder::  FCO: See that there...::points:: head straight for that patch of fighters, they'll scatter and leave an open corridor.
 
CO Cutter
 FCO:  Belay that... turn around and head back to the planet.
   
Coreena
 CO:  You have incoming communication.
 
CO Cutter
 FCO:  Full impulse

Ambassador Surberec
 COM: CO: Do you dispute the fact that the cur deserved to die after manipulating my people for generation?
 
CO Cutter
 Coreena:  Thank you...  put it on screen
   
Coreena
 ::nods and transfers it to the screen::
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: I'll be back in a minute, just relax... you're going to be fine

CEO Michaels
 ::Shakes his head and mumbles::  Should have known he wouldn't do the sensible thing.

FCO Knight
 ::Raises an eyebrow at the near suicidal orders he's receiving::
 
CO Cutter
 COM:  I don't dispute anything with you right now....   Hayden out.
 
MO Bishop
 ::heads over to a nurse who's tending to the XO:: Nurse Okinawa: How's she doing?
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Do you have the coordinates of the park?
   
Coreena
 *EO*:  Yes...  It is if... necessary.  Things have changed since then as well.
 
CO Cutter
 *EO*  I need warp power yesterday.  Make it so.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: Aye sir... coordinates on the Tolafra homeworld locked

EO Davidson
 *Bridge*: We have a work in progress down here....Were going to try a quick start for the warp core...Its dangerous...but that may be the only way we have to get it going quick

CEO Michaels
 CO: I'm not sure whether to hope you have a plan, or hope you don't....::heads over to the tactical station::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Send the coordinates to tactical.

FCO Knight
 CO: All right. Kamikaze toward the planet. Aye. ::Alters course and engages::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @COM: Hayden: This is Xelef. Sorry for the delay, we're a bit busy here.
 
MO Bishop
 <Okinawa> MO: She's got a concussion and some internal bleeding, but she should recover....

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Do whatever it takes Jay, just make sure it doesn't blow us up.
 
CO Cutter
 CEO:  As soon as we're in weapons range, lock all weapons on the park, planetside.  Report when you have that.
   
CSO Lys
 :: transfers the data ::  CO: Done sir

MO Bishop
 :;takes a look at the her vital signs:: Okinawa: Pay close attention to her Paracortex... that's a sensitive region for Betazoids...

CEO Michaels
 CO: Aye sir.
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  All auxiliary power to the shields

Coreena
 ::Hearing the captain, shuttles the power to shields::

CEO Michaels
 CO: Aye sir, auxiliary power to shields.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: Aye....Better hang on to something up there... ::stands at the console:: going to start now 

CMO Cutter
 ::likes sickbay better when she is in charge:: MO: We done yet?

EO Davidson
 ::works on the matter/antimatter intermix formula:: Self: Come on baby....start ::hits the last button::
   
Coreena
 ::Looks over at Talan and takes a seat quickly::
 
MO Bishop
 Okinawa: Place the biodome over her and monitor her closely.... she's got a lot of internal damage... ::watches Okinawa nod and set to work::
 
MO Bishop
 ::looks over at the CMO and checks her vitals:: CMO: Just about Doctor... just let me give you a quick check....
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::grumbles at not being replied to:: Self: Federation imbeciles.
   
CSO Lys
 :: continues to monitor the Srelbraw homeworld, aghast at the destruction and death the sensors are reading ::

CMO Cutter
 ::getting antsy::
   
CSO Lys
 :: looks at Coreena to see if she is going to answer the hail ::
 
CO Cutter
 *MO*  What's the condition of my wife, Doctor?

EO Davidson
 *CO*: Engines are online....but there fluctuating too rapidly to use right now.
 
MO Bishop
 ::watches the doctor fidget:: CMO: You know... for a doctor, you don't have much patients...

CEO Michaels
 CO: Targeting scanners online sir, we're within weapons range...I've got a lock on the coordinates.
 
CO Cutter
 *EO*  Good... get them ready for use.
 
CO Cutter
 CEO:  Excellent
 
MO Bishop
 ::runs her scanner over the CMO again and smiles::
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::continues to fire on the Srelbraw homeworld::
   
Coreena
 CO:  Captain, another incoming hail sir.

CMO Cutter
 MO: I have lots of patients.. one of them is on the bridge!!! But no.. I have no patience.. not really.  Sorry.
 
MO Bishop
 *CO*: Recovering nicely.... I wish I could say the same for you Captain....

EO Davidson
 *CO*: Aye...its good to have you back to sir. ::tires to level out the intermix ratio::
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  Open a channel to the flagships of both fleets

FCO Knight
 CO: What ever you're gonna do, do it soon. I'm losing power on impulse engines. At 94% now.

CEO Michaels
 CO: Should this next order be one of those I question due to overwhelming moral obligation to the institution who employs my services?
   
CSO Lys
 CO:  Casualties rising quickly on the Srelbraw planet sir
 
CO Cutter
 FCO:  Coordinate with the EO.  With the core back online, we should be able to charge impulse engines.
   
Coreena
 ::Opens the chanel::  CO:  Channels open.

Ambassador Surberec
 Action: the Srelbraw Home world is 15% afire

EO Davidson
 ::opens the matter anti matter injectors a little more, but restricts the flow a little::
 
MO Bishop
 ::closes her tricorder:: CMO: You're going to be stiff for a few days, but you'll survive....::grins mischievously::... perhaps you can go and see to your husband on the bridge... I'm sure he'd love to have you around...
 
CO Cutter
 COM:  Tolafra and Sressih fleets.  Please note that I have my weapons trained on your mutual religious site.  I will destroy it in 15 minutes if you do not cease-fire by then.  I will destroy it immediately if you fire upon the Hayden.

FCO Knight
 *EO* Stabilize all antimatter injectors and magnetic constrictors. That will, hopefully get  that formula o' yours into balance.

CMO Cutter
 ::laughs, happy that it didn't hurt to do so:: MO: you think?  I'm sure he'd be thrilled.. and it's my plan anyway.
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: Thought so....
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  Pass that message on to the Srelbraw also and add that if they fire on any of us, I will withdraw and let the fleets do as they may.

Ambassador Surberec
 Action: all fighting stops as the warring ships turn their weapons on the Hayden
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Report on status of both fleets...  are they still firing?

EO Davidson
 *FCO*:I doubt it....the ratio is fluctuating too much....Pressure on the core us a little high....be careful if you have to use it when were ready

CMO Cutter
 ::shifts again, getting ready to book it:: MO: Soo....?
   
Coreena
 CO:  aye sir.
    
CSO Lys
 CSO:  they have stopped and we are targeted - by all of them

Ambassador Xelef
 @COM: Hayden: Fire on that site and you will be fired upon by my fleet! Stand down your weapons, this is not your concern Captain.

CEO Michaels
 CO: Um...Captain...we have a problem.  I've got more weapons locks than I can keep track of.
   
Coreena
 ::Inputs the required code and places it on repeat, to make sure they get it.::
 
CO Cutter
 ::grins::  CEO:  Excellent!  We've got them just where we want them.

FCO Knight
 *EO* Just remember that even miracle workers have bad days.
 
MO Bishop
 ::snickers:: CMO: So, go already before I give you a physical to go with it....
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  Get all three groups on the comm.

CEO Michaels
 CO: You're going to be the death of me sir...

FCO Knight
 Self: The Cap'n's gonna kill us.

EO Davidson
 *FCO*: That means that every day I am down here is a bad day...now what did you say to check?
   
CSO Lys
 :: doesn't really like to look in the Captain's eyes... he has seen it before... ::
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: And tell Manning to head to Engineering... there's a certain CEO that needs watching
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::has her tactical officer train weapons on the Hayden::
   
Coreena
 ::Coordinates the three ships on one comm::

CMO Cutter
 ::thinks: when did the MO get evil like her?  Cool!      Almost runs for the door and then stops abruptly:: MO: Uh.. you okay with everything down here?  I mean.. you wouldn't miss me if I went to make sure he didn't commit suicide or something?
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @::hisses as she sees Captain Cutter on her view screen::
   
Coreena
 CO:  All three ships have acknowledged.

FCO Knight
 *EO* Mag'etic constrictors an' the antimatter injectors.
 
MO Bishop
 CMO: Nothing I can't handle Doctor.... we need our Captain alive and well...

EO Davidson
 Self: Yes! I did it....right ON! *Bridge* Warp Core is Back on line.

EO Davidson
 *FCO*: I owe you one again Othello

CMO Cutter
 ::nods and heads out of sickbay, then gets in the TL:: TL: Bridge.
 
CO Cutter
 COM:  Attention Tolafra, Sressih and Srelbraw.  I repeat again, I will destroy your site if all hostilities do not cease.  Now... we have two options here... the three of you can send reps to the Hayden and we will reopen the peace process or all fleets can withdraw and we try again later.  I don't care which, but decide now....  you have 10 minutes

FCO Knight
 CO: We have full engine capacity, Cap'n. *EO* Think o' it as m' last act as a former CEO.
 
MO Bishop
 ::checks on the XO again and sees she's resting comfortably::
 
CO Cutter
 FCO:  Damn cool!
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @SCTO: Now target their engines just in case they don't comply.
   
CSO Lys
 :: hopes the fleets don't try option three - blow the Hayden to bits ::
 
MO Bishop
 ::moves to another patient that has come in with plasma burns::

Ambassador Surberec
 COM: Hayden: Captain, You are aware that you firing would mean the death of you and your crew.....

CEO Michaels
 ::looks askance at the Captain::  CO: What DID they do to you down there?

CMO Cutter
 ::exits the TL onto the Bridge:: Manning: You can go back to sickbay. ::heads closer to Jason, staying out of the way but watching him carefully::
 
CO Cutter
 COM:  Yep...  I'm ready for that.  Are you ready to lose your religious site?
   
CSO Lys
 :: looks towards Coreena, the worry in his eyes ::
   
Coreena
 :Smiles at the EO's words and takes care of the added power;:
 
CO Cutter
 CEO:  <w>  Don't ask.

FCO Knight
 Self: Not as long as I have m' finger above this control...

Coreena
 ::Looks over at the Talan, not quite understanding everything going on.::

EO Davidson
 *Coreena*: Put the extra power to SFI and Weapons.
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @COM: Hayden: Captain, you will not dictate to us. Prepare to leave the area or be ready for a fight.

CMO Cutter
 ::scowls at the CEO's words.  She knows what they did to him::
 
MO Bishop
 ::pauses in the middle of sickbay with medics bustling about her, unsure of what to do next::
   
Coreena
 *EO*:  I have also added more to shields.

Ambassador Surberec
 COM: Hayden: I will beam over personally. You intend to have another Srelbraw for me to pluck I assume... ::cuts Comm::

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: I have to check the Torpedo Bay....we had some good people down there....permission to go....I can leave Lt. Simms in charge ::hopes says yes::

FCO Knight
 ::Sets an emergency course out of the system, just in case::
 
CO Cutter
 COM:  Xelef:  In this one case, I am dictating...  you may withdraw if you don't like my conditions, or you may rejoin negotiations onboard Hayden.  You have 8 minutes.
   
Coreena
 CO:  Ambassador Surebrec has cut communications.
 
CO Cutter
 OPS:  Have a full security team meet each and every Ambassador that beams over.  They are NOT to be left alone.

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: Negative Mr. Davidson, hold your post, I need you there.  We'll deal with the unpleasant tasks later.
   
Coreena
 CO:  Aye sir.
 
CO Cutter
 ::nods at Coreena::  OPS:  It's okay...  makes him feel important.
   
CSO Lys
 CO: We will have to drop shields sir...

FCO Knight
 CO: Ready to engage at top speed in case your plan, uh, fails to get its desired effect.
 
MO Bishop
 ::dismisses the nurse from the XO's side and tends to her personally::
   
Coreena
 ::Not understanding, just nods her head at the captain.::
 
CO Cutter
 CSO:  Understood.  Not yet.
 
CO Cutter
 FCO:  Oh ye of little faith.  ::grins at the FCO::  Good plan
   
Coreena
 *Tactical*:  Send three details down to transporter room one.  None of the ambassadors are to be left alone.

CMO Cutter

CO Cutter
 CSO:  Good

CO Cutter
 OPS:  On my mark, I want you to lower shields, do a simultaneous beam of all three ambassadors to three different locations onboard with security waiting then raise shields.   Understand?
 
Ambassador Xelef
 @COM: Hayden: Well, are you beaming me over or have you changed your mind?
   
Coreena
 CO:  Yes sir

EO Davidson
 ::wipes the sweat off his face:: Self: My god....that was fun ::says it sarcastically:: *CEO*: I would not want to push the engines beyond warp 6.5 until we put in for repairs at Starbase 69

Coreena
 ::As she gets security's clearance she begins simultaneous beaming of the ambassadors as she drops the shields.::

EO Davidson
 *CEO*: That's the best speed I can give ya....sorry ::sounds exhausted:: What else you want me to clean up?

 OPS:  Nicely done Coreena.  Please have the Ambassadors escorted to separate guest quarters and kept under guard.  ::slumps into his seat with a sigh::  I'll be in sickbay.

EO Davidson
 *CEO*:I know sir...I have assigned damage repair teams to all decks....repairs are slow....but it looks like the Starfleet engineers are going to have a hay day again.
   
Coreena
 CO:  acknowledged.
 
CO Cutter
 CEO:  You have the bridge.  Remind the fleets we have their bosses... if it gets out of hand, warp out and stay ahead of them...  I've broken every other rule...  what's a little kidnapping.

CEO Michaels
 *EO*: They're gonna start hating us.
   
Coreena

 ::nods at the CEO::
 
CO Cutter
 CMO:  Give me a hand?  I suddenly don't feel so good.

CMO Cutter
 ::waits to see if he needs help off the bridge before heading to the TL with him.. still silent::

CMO Cutter
 ::nods and slips under his arm::
   
CSO Lys
 CO/CEO:  Perhaps in the meantime we can send aid to the Srelbraws planet?
 
Ambassador Xelef
 Security: I demand to see Amb. Suberec! Take me to him now! ::swishes her tail::

CEO Michaels
 CO: Uncommon negotiation tactics, Starfleet'll understand.  ::looks skeptical::
 
MO Bishop
 :;takes a look around and sees that everything is under control and heads into the doctor's office to file more medical reports::
   
Coreena
 <Security> Xelef:  Sorry, we have our orders.  Please come peacefully this way.
 
CO Cutter
 ::turns back toward the CEO:  No one goes down there without a heavily armed escort Brynn....  NO ONE.

CEO Michaels
 OPS: Hail the planet, see if they even want our help.
 
Ambassador Xelef
