<CMO_Lennier> CO: aye ma’am ::stands at science 1::
ACTION: Both ships must rely on visuals to gather data
<FCO_Lt_Hewitt> *EO*: Acknowledge.
<EO_Nadal> *FCO* It gives us a bit of a speed advantage, if they don’t have it on their systems sir. It pumps some antimatter into the impulse engines. Fairly safe. I’ll have my EO monitor those systems.
<DIR_FCO_T`Rylea_Rochell> ::looks at the screen and looks for anything moving to relay it to the CTO.
<OPS_Lt_Thornne> ::Releases Science back to Science 1::

<EO Jak> ::Scans the Impulse Propulsion systems, and smiles.:: EO Nadal: Just fine sir.
<DIR_CTO_Berlin> @::Shoots another volley::
<CO_Prin> OPS:  Where are they ?
<DIR_CO_deCoster> @CTO: Full spread! FCO: Get us out of their phaser line, Ensign!
<XO_LtCdr_McCellan> CTO: Can you target them?
ACTION: Near Miss
<EO_Nadal> *FCO* Impulse systems still fine. Nadal out.
<DIR_CO_deCoster> @CTO: Continue firing!
<DIR_CTO_Berlin> @::Fires again......… taking her miss into account::

<XO_LtCdr_McCellan> CTO: Good..…
<CMO_Lennier> CO: fire a small phaser burst into it and hopefully it’ll light up the other ship
<CO_Prin> CTO:  Can we clock ourselves in the Metrion mass…
<CTO_LtJg_Tom> ::fires phasers at the Dirisken, but can’t fire quantums::
<CMO_Lennier> CO: but we have to be very careful could destroy the other ship
<DIR_CTO_Berlin> @CO: Not without going blind ourselves.
<DIR_CO_deCoster> @FCO: Okay, bring us up, fast.
<DIR_CTO_Berlin> @::Fires yet another volley::
<CO_Prin> CMO:  We have no idea how close they are… I don’t want to chance it.…

<CMO_Lennier> CO: hmm they’re hiding in the gas of the nebula
<CO_Prin> FCO:  Any chance they have gone below us…
<DIR_CO_deCoster> @FCO: Excellent. Full stop.
<CMO_Lennier> ::thinks back to his training at the academy::
ACTION: Direct hit on Dirisken, Dirisken loses Hit Points
<EO_Nadal> *OPS*: All backup systems and backup generators online and on hot standby sir. Just activate and direct their power sir.

<CTO_LtJg_Tom> ::reloads all 3 tubes, but this time loads photon torpedoes… and fires again::
<AST_Collingwood> CO: I must remind you sir… our goal is to capture the flag, not to destroy our opponent.
<CMO_Lennier> CO: what about running silent
<DIR_FCO_T`Rylea_Rochell> @CO: Sir we have been hit I believe.
<CO_Prin> FCO:  Reach out and sense them if you can… Are you able to pinpoint general locations ?
<OPS_Lt_Thornne> ::Launches a class one probe, designed to emit a bright light::
<DIR_CO_deCoster> @FCO: I know. But one hit won’t lose us the battle. Kill the running lights, and all porthole lights.
* DIR_CTO_Berlin @::Fires again::
<CO_Prin> AST:  This is true, thank you for the reminder… Lets keep a look out for the flag people.
<CTO_LtJg_Tom> ::fires phaser a few times::

<FCO_Lt_Hewitt> CO: aye nose to nose.. ::makes change and meet them as they rise::
<DIR_CO_deCoster> @FCO: Okay, I want a full hard about, and drop by 30, 000 kilometers.
<DIR_CTO_Berlin> @:Uses torps this time::
<CMO_Lennier> CO: I could probably at this range telepathically link with a crewmember of the Dirisken just to scare ‘em .::grins::
<DIR_FCO_T`Rylea_Rochell> @CO: Aye sir.
ACTION: Torpedoes can not find a lock, one tracks the Port Nacelle of Huron, claiming 5 Hit Points
<CTO_LtJg_Tom> ::fires a barrage of torpedoes along with a phaser burst a few times::

<CO_Prin> CMO:  Tell him I’m coming after him…
<DIR_CO_deCoster> @FCO: The good doctor on the Huron thought that he had linked telepathically with you. Hehe. I’ll give him a little fright.
<XO_LtCdr_McCellan> CMO: Can you hear anything of help to us?
ACTION: Huron’s spotters spot a beacon off the high starboard flank
