CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: at her station on the bridge still wondering why Icky isn't at his post ::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::In Turbolift, rushing back to Bridge from the internal sensor recalibrations, trying to shove all the tools back into the box the way they came.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS*: Randi... did they say a Gorn ship on intercept?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Sitting at her station, maintaining a lock on the Away Team.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Hang on, I am going to stay on his tail all the way down.  You might want to close your eyes.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::steers the shuttle through the atmosphere, heading for the landing area where they are to collect the vaccine::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*FCO*:  Yeah Roz, put the pedal to the metal... we have to burn space dust!
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@::tightens his straps and hangs on tight::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*FCO*:  Get a move on Roz... I am kissing your tail!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS*: Doing just that, but don't hang too close, I would like an Exec when we get back. ::goes in full throttle, fastest atmospheric entry angle and velocity.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  Gorn ship on intercept course, ETA 20 minutes.  I have a lock on the AT in the event we need to get them out of there.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Rushes onto the Bridge, nearly crashing into the door and spills the tool box all over the back of the Bridge.::  Self: Dang it all!  
CEO: What's happening?  ::Kicks a few tools towards the Tac console.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Understood.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*FCO*: Time is not a commodity that we have an abundance of Commander
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@::pulls up next to Roz::  FCO:  I am next to you... we should have the coordinates in sight.  I will cover you!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky at last. We have a Gorn ship on an intercept course. ETA 20 minutes. Take us to red alert.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I will hover while Roz loads up, then he will cover for me.  Can you man the phasers Sir?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Notices the CTO making his entrance onto the bridge, as a wrench comes flying past her leg.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::goes in to land:: *XO*: Aye, sir. But simulation and actuality has its differences. Approaching landing area now.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@Self: I knew something wasn't right
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Ensign keep the shuttles updated on the situation please.
 
ACTION:  The Gorn ship speeds up, trying to intercept the Huron.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Great, just what we needed.  ::Smiles, relieves Angeltra and moves to Red Alert.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::lands the shuttle, opening the doors, not shutting down at all:: Colonists: Load her up! ::motions the two officers with him to help load::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Aye, Ma'am.  
*XO/CNS/FCO*:  I am picking up a Gorn ship on an intercept course.  ETA is 20 minutes.  You need to get the vaccine and get out quickly.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  We may not have time for that Counselor.  We may need to both land at the same time.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra: They need to make those tool boxes easier to repack in an emergency.  Must be the same guy that makes the emergency bandages impossible to open with one hand.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Keep a close eye on that Gorn ship Commander, we don't need any surprises.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*OPS*: Understood.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*OPS*: Acknowledged.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: The Gorn ship has picked up speed and is closing fast.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, you want to take the chance of losing the vaccine plus two shuttles?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: You got it, they appear to be speeding up.  They never were much for subtlety.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*XO/CNS/FCO*:  I don't mean to rush you guys, but the Gorn ship has increased their speed, and you may not have a full 20 minutes.
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: Huron:  Unidentified ship, identify yourself.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::watches the shuttle being loaded:: All: Pack and stack with speed people!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra: Get the pups to post security in the normal hotspots.  Shouldn't come to a boarding, but we ain't going to leave them any openings.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS: We have less than 15 minutes to retrieve the vaccine and return to the Huron Counselor.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves towards the tactical station :: OPS: So I see. Let's try hailing them.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Activates the Universal Translator.::  CEO:  Commander, we have an incoming transmission from the Gorn.
Host CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I can fly rings around that ship.  Your call Sir.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*OPS*: Acknowledged.  CNS:  that settles that question Counselor. Both shuttles land.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: If it appears we're coming to a conflict that may involve boarding parties, we may want to reconsider making things uncomfortable for them.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO:  And Commander, it is now 7 minutes til intercept.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
COM: Gorn: This is Commander Sparks of the USS Huron. State your purpose.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*XO/FCO/CNS*:  Guys, 7 minutes til intercept.  I hope you have some unique flying skills at your disposal.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Aye Sir ::taking her shuttle down, landing gently next to Roz, opening the shuttle door::  XO:  Up to you now Sir!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*OPS*: We're good at what we do, just make sure we have a ship to return to.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers :: CTO: I know you can handle that Icky. Stand by.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*FCO*:  Aye, Commander.  Good luck, Daniels out.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@::Unstraps himself and gets out:: Security:  Lets get that vaccine aboard.  I want us out of here five minutes ago.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::watches as the security team step out and begin to load the vaccine::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Status of the away team?
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@::Joins in loading the vaccine::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*AT*: What is your status?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS*: Roz to Randi. We're loaded up.
Host CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*FCO*:  See you upstairs Roz!  Be careful!
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@::Gets the vaccine aboard and secures it.  Then resumes his seat and straps himself in once again::  CNS:  Let's go!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
AFCOKlein: Prepping all the high maneuverability combat maneuvers.  Gorn typically don't go much for mobility, so I'm hoping we can just keep 'em off balance if it comes to a confrontation.
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: Huron:  I think you need to tell me who you are.  You have 30 seconds to do so.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS*: Taking off. ::lifts off and heads for the ship.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Hurry them up sir... we have an incoming Gorn ship to deal with!
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*OPS*:  Q'tor to Huron, we're loaded up and taking off now.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*OPS*: Roznine to Daniels. We're heading for the barn.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
COM: Gorn: We are on a mercy mission. We will not be remaining in the area.  Repeating, we are the USS Huron on a mercy mission.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Tell the shuttles to orbit Cestus III and keep the planet between them and the Gorn.  I'd rather do a high speed recovery than try and protect two shuttles.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@::hits the button to close the shuttle door and takes off before all the personnel have found their seats::  ALL:  Sorry guys... hang on, we are going for a hard ride!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky, can you give us a reading on their weapons?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*OPS*:  How much time until intercept Brandy?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*FCO/XO/CNS*:  Change of plans, AT.  Commander Sparks would like you to orbit Cestus III and keep the planet between you and the Gorn.
 
ACTION:  Both shuttles zoom through the atmosphere, heading for the Huron.

XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@::slams his fist into the arm of his seat:: CNS: QI'vatlh!  I need to be on the bridge!
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: Huron:  This is a Federation ship?  Mercy mission?  Explain!
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: In sickbay, working through the set-up with Chen.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CNS*:  Intercept is 3 minutes, Commander.  Maintain an orbit around Cestus III please.  We will come get you if things go bad.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*OPS*: Acknowledged. ::changes course in atmosphere, heading for the far side::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Fairly heavily armed, typical configuration for Gorn.  High power weapons, but can't match our accuracy.  If it comes to a fight, I'd say outmaneuver is in our best interest, which is why I suggested picking the shuttles up on the back side, play to their weakness.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@::hears Brandy and follows Roz::
 
ACTION:  The Gorn power up their weapons.

OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Commander, Gorn are powering up weapons!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
COM: Gorn: We are on a medical emergency mission to Durrava IV, and need to pick up vaccine on Cestus. We will be out of this area shortly once our crew has returned.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Confirmed, they have powered up weapons, ours are standing by.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS/XO*: So we keep the planet between us and the Gorn... weapons at the ready at any rate. We might have to do some shooting ourselves.
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  Alright... we are set with the storage, as much as we can be.  You have started the process for making more should we even have to chose that route... now what?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS/CTO: Stand by all systems.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CEO: Transferring additional power to forward shields.  ::Transfers additional power to forward shields.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::walks out of the ready room:: CEO: Status report, Commander.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  I don't suppose we have any sort of real weapons on this thing?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@FCO:  Roz, we can't hide forever.  How about one of us be the bait?  Like we practiced?
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Standing by and keeping antenna strait.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Captain, we have a Gorn ship on an intercept course with us. They have powered weapons. Our shuttles are orbiting Cestus but have retrieved the vaccine.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Yes Sir, we have phasers, but ::grinning:: Roz and I have done a simulation like this many times.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
MO: Have there been many changes to the medical staff since our last emergency?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@CNS: We practised it Randi, but the Huron is in a combat situation. Let them deal with it unless they come at us. This vaccine is too important.
 
ACTION:  The Gorn ship pulls along side the Huron.

XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  Well get ready for the real thing
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CEO: Thank you.
MO_Chen says:
:: Stands up to prepare the tea.::  CSO:  Actually, no.  We had a CMO for awhile, but sadly, she left.  Pity, I liked her.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::sits down in his seat::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*FCO*:  Ah Roz, you are such a spoil sport!  ~~~Whatever you say... just trying to ruffle the XO!~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: They're pulling along side, I suggest we keep ourselves in a position to try and block them from the Federation colony and from the shuttles.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves back to the engineering station ::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods as she thanks her for the tea.::  MO:  Pity about the first, but the fact the staff is basically the same, will make it easy.  Let us just use the same set-up as before as it seemed to work well... so I understand.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS*: I'm just a realist, Randi. ::sends her a wordless smile::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO: The Gorn have pulled up along side our ship.  Increasing power to shields.  ::Increases power to shields.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
AFCO: Protect the colony.
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: Huron:  I have run your registry number through our database.  It appears you are who you say you are.  Would you care for an escort?
AFCO_Klein says:
CO: Aye, sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CEO: Have we been in touch with the Gorn?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  Incoming transmission, Sir.  The Gorn are asking if we want an escort.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@::activates the shuttles weapons console... just in case::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks at the Captain :: CO: Aye sir, they are on the comm channel. :: nods to OPS ::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Put them on screen. ::stands and tugs his shirt::
SO_Anda says:
:: Keeping a close scan on things.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  I think they believe we are who we say we are.  Can you ask OPS?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Activates the Universal Translator again and puts them on the viewscreen.::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
CO:  On screen, Sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Gorn: This is Captain James Andrews of the Federation Starship Huron. Glad to hear you've offered an escort! ::puts on a big smile::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  I would rather not give away our position just yet.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:; glances over at Icky and smiles ::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::watches the shuttle's consoles, waiting for the ship to inform him of the situation.::
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: CO:  Yes, we would be happy to help.  There have been pirates in the area, and we can't be to cautious.  I am sure you understand.
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  It would make things easier.  ::Glances at her silent console.::  I guess things are going well up stairs. ::Sitting, relaxes, knowing she might not have another chance until after their current mission.::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS: Let the Huron keep their attention for the time being.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Aye Sir... ::wonders why the XO is being so timid::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
MO:  Ensign Anda will let us know should anyone on the bridge forget we need to know something.  ::Shakes her head.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Gorn: Indeed I do; I'd hate to be delayed. Surely, though, we don't need weapons right now.
 
ACTION:  A single phaser shot hits the Huron, rocking her, but doing no damage.

XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS: Have us in position to come up behind the Gorn ship in case we need to draw fire away from the Huron
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: What was that?
MO_Chen says:
::Smiles::  CSO:  Handy to have.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Aye Sir!  ::grinning at him, thinking that is much better::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Sir, we've just taken a Phaser shot from the Gorn.  No damage.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: grabs the side of her console :: Self: They're tricky!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::turns back to the screen:: COM: Gorn: I hope that wasn't just a test of our defensive abilities, Captain.
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  Something troubling you?
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: CO:  Captain... please do NOT return fire.  A clumsy, I think that is the word, crewman just fell on the console!
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS/XO*: I just picked up weapons fire.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  Scramble a channel to Commander Roznine.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Sigh::  CSO:  No... I find now that I am back, it is hard to remain off the bridge when something is going on.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@::taps the scrambler::  XO:  Ready sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Gorn: I certainly hope so. It's fortunate our shields were up.
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  Anda may be relatively fresh from the academy, but from what I have seen, she is very reliable.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::sees the scramble code and sets his comms accordingly::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: If I may, if we both powered down our weapons, the odds of a misfire plummet, assuming they agree.
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: CO:  Fortunate indeed.  Shall we leave and escort you to your destination now?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
MO:  I know...  I read her files.  It is just...
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: I agree, Commander.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*FCO*: Commander arm weapons and assume an attack position.  Wait for my orders.
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  More then that I am sure.  :: nonchalantly::  How is your son?
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Opens a secure channel to the AT.::  *FCO/XO/CNS*:  The Captain is communicating with the Gorn ship as we speak.  Maintain your positions, please.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Gorn: Actually, Captain, while I appreciate the offer, I'm certain we can hold our own in a dogfight. We should be fine.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*OPS*:  Understood
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
MO:  What was that old earth saying?  'Hitting the nail on the problem.'
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*XO*: Aye, sir. ::hears the comm from the ship:: *OPS*: Understood.
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: CO:  Let's say Captain, I would feel better if we helped.  These pirates attack in 3 and 4's.
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  Ummm.. I think that is hitting the problem... but...
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  Somethings wrong.  Very very wrong.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Runs a scan of the system, looking for other vessels within range of the shuttles.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir?  What do you mean?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Gorn: If you insist. However, for the time being--since we're in relatively empty space--I'm sure it would do wonders for both our crews if we could.. disarm our weapons. ::turns to the CTO:: CTO: Ec'.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*FCO*/CNS:  Are sensors showing any signs of any other vessels in the area?
 
ACTION:  Six unknown blips appear on the CTO's sensors.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves back over to tactical and whispers :: CTO: I don't trust them Icky.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Not on this side of the planet Sir.  I can't speak for the other side.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*XO*: None on mine, sir.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Picking up a few unidentified objects, Sir.  Perhaps we should recover the shuttles quickly?
SO_Anda says:
:: Looks over t the CTO.::  CO:  Confirmed.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: Definitely. Can you lower the shields around the flight bay to give them a corridor?
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: CO:  Captain, I think I have just spotted my pirates.  Do you see them?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
MO:  I am going to make the assumption that everything is alright, otherwise Jewel would have called me.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  My instincts are telling me something is wrong.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Not a problem, can do easily.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Gorn: Yes, we just picked them up. We have a few shuttles on the surface. If you could run interference while we collect them, we'll join you shortly.
MO_Chen says:
:: Smiles::  CSO:  You haven't checked?
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS: Duj tIvoqtaH
Gorn Commander says:
#COM: CO:  We would be happy to.  Tell your shuttles to come ahead.  We will protect them until they can reach you.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: Good, do it. OPS: Signal the shuttles and give them a flight path through the corridor.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
COM: Gorn: Thank you very much; I'll get in touch with you again once we're through with these pirates.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
MO:  No... and yes, I has been hard.  But if I do not learn to let others take care of him, our sojourn on this ship is going to be rather short or I will have more gray hairs then my husband before to long.
 
ACTION:  The Gorn ship moves out to place itself between the Huron's shuttles and the 6 pirate ships.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers :: CTO: Can you identify those ships yet?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::signals to OPS to cut the channel::
SO_Anda says:
CO:  Sir, I am reading various types of ships in various states of conditions.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Let them know landing pattern Hot Delta is preset and waiting.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*FCO/XO/CNS*:  You have been cleared to return.  ::Cuts the comm channel.::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@*CNS*: You go in first, I'll be on your tail.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*FCO/XO/CNS*: Landing pattern Hot Delta is preset and waiting.  ::Nods to the CTO.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Nothing positive, but I don't like this.  Something's not right.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*FCO*:  Uh huh... you just want a chance to fight!  Ok, eat my dust! ::begins to laugh and hits the power::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@*FCO*/CNS:  Keep weapons hot until we are safely back on the Huron
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: Something's definitely not right; it's as if those pirates were cued. Keep an eye on them and their weapons fire.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::smiles to himself:: Sec: You guys get to see Hot Delta in action. ::waits a moment for Randi to head in, and sets off in her wake, coming in at speed.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
AFCO: Keep our belly  towards the blips to protect the shuttle bay approach.
CO: Aye Sir, they'll get an eye and an antenna.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@::takes a deep breath then yells:: Self:  Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa hoooooooooooooooooooooo Hot Delta!
AFCO_Klein says:
CTO: Aye, sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
AFCO: Prepare a flight plan to get us to the Durrava system using the most roundabout way you can, we may need it if those pirates are in league with the Gorn.
AFCO_Klein says:
CO: Aye, sir. Plotting course, pending the Commander's final check.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@::Once again clenches the arms of his chair:: CNS: maw'vI'
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*OPS*:  Brandy, have the backguards up in the shuttle bay, I am coming in hot!
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*Shuttle bay*:  We have a shuttle coming in hot!  Prepare the backguards.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Channel some extra power into the landing Tractors, both of those two can push the envelope at need...or want.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::glances over at the two security officers as the shuttle hurtles towards the flight deck entrance of the Huron:: SEC: Having fun? ::Comes in right behind Randi, ready for full reverse thrusters::
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CNS*:  They are all ready for you, Randi.
 
ACTION:  The pirate ships begin to spread out.

OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
::Reroutes additional power to the landing tractors.::  CTO: Aye, Commander.
SO_Anda says:
:: Repeats to the captain::  CO:  Sir, I am reading various types of ships in various states of conditions.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@*OPS*:  Open the doors!  I am coming in with Roz right behind me!  Have medical waiting!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: monitors the engineering readouts carefully ::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
SO: Can you identify any of them?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@XO:  Sir, buckle up. just in case I miss!
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*CNS*:  Doors are open, Randi.
Host CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~FCO:  Roz, get up here next to me!  I am headed in.~~~
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Unidentified ships have dispersed, perhaps looking to swing around the Gorn vessel.  Weapons remain hot and ready.
OPS_Ens_Daniels says:
*Sickbay*:  We have incoming vaccines.  Please have a medical team meet the AT in the shuttlebay.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@CNS:  In case you miss?!?  If you do I don't think me being buckled up is going to make a lot of difference!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: sends repair teams to the shuttle bay just in case they are needed ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@::beings to giggle::
SO_Anda says:
CO:  If I say a rag tag bunch, would that make sense to you?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
SO: More or less. Any Gorn vessels?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::increases speed to get next to the other shuttle:: *CNS: Smooth insertion in three... two.. one! Full reverse! ::hits the reverse thrusters::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
@::sees the shuttle bay doors open then hears Roz::  FCO:  Done Boss! ::reverses the thrusters::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: Lock phasers on the pirates.
SO_Anda says:
*CSO*:  Ma'am, perhaps you should return to the bridge.  We have 6 pirates around.  The team from the planet has just docked.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
*SO*:  Acknoweldged.  I am on my way.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
@ALL: baQa!!!
SO_Anda says:
CO:  No sir, just the one Gorn ship.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
AFCO: As soon as the flight bay doors are down, head in to support the Gorn vessel.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
SO: Lifesigns?
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: I don't like the idea of dropping shields even for a few minutes.
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  I guess that is my que as well.  ::Stands.::
Host CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  How's that for a landing?  I didn't even bump the deck!  ::begins to power down the shuttle and opens the door::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Sir, maintaining target lock on all bogies.  Shuttles have landed, shields back up to normal operation.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
CNS:  maw'vI'
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
@::smiles serenely as the shuttles settle on the deck, powering down and opening the door. gets up and jumps out::
Host CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Is that good what you just said?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: As soon as we're in range, fire at will.
AFCO_Klein says:
CO: Sir, the shuttles have docked, heading to intercept.
SO_Anda says:
CO:  Double checking sir...
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
CNS:  How did you get to be a ships counselor?  ::unstraps himself in a hurry to get off the shuttle::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
CNS: It means you're crazy!
 
ACTION:  As the Gorn ship begins to move towards the pirates, they take off.  The Huron's sensors lose them.
 
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::hears Q'Tor through the open door:: XO: she's the craziest of the lot, sir.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
MO:  Let me know if you need my help.  :: Follows out into the main room.::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
FCO:  I have no doubt
MO_Chen says:
CSO:  I will... :: Motions for a couple of people to join her.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO:  Now you have to admit, Roz and I did a great job of flying!  AND I have you know, I have been flying since I was 5!
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Quickly leaves and heads for the bridge.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Neither do I, but the planet protected the blind spot, and it's closed now.  ::Smiles.::
CO: Aye Sir, targeting weapons and...er, never mind, targets have left Tactical sensor range on withdrawal course.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::heads for the nearest TL:: XO/CNS: You can banter on the way, I have a ship to pilot.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::turns and sticks her tongue out at Roz::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
Security:  get that vaccine secured and report to your battle stations!
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
SO: Did you get a read on any lifesigns, Ensign?
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
CNS:  Since you were 5 or like you were 5?
SO_Anda says:
CO:  Sorry sir... they our now out of sensor range.  I will review the current data though for anything usable.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
::makes a bee-line for the TL::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::shakes his head and holds the TL for the other two, ordering it to the bridge the moment they are inside::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
SO: Good.
Host CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
XO: Q'tor... that was NOT very nice.  You hurt my feelings.  ::heading to the TL right behind him::
TO_Fred says:
 XO: Aye Sir, securing now, then we'll join the Shuttle Bay teams as ordered.
MO_Chen says:
:: Makes her way to sickbay with a team to pick up the vaccine.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
OPS: Open a channel to the Gorn ship.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Exits the turbolift onto the bridge and heads for the science consoles.::
 
ACTION:  The Gorn ship goes to warp, not knowing the Huron was comming them.

FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::grins like a kid in a candy shop:: XO: You have to admit... it was exhilarating, was it not?
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
FCO/CNS:  It was..... breathtaking to put it mildly
SO_Anda says:
:: Updates her chief as she pulls up the sensor records.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::puts her nose up in the air and ignores the XO::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Shall I drop us from Red Alert?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CTO: Take us down to yellow.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::chuckles as the TL stops and they exit onto the bridge:: CO: You missed a nice trip, Captain. ::heads for his console, nodding at Klein's quick muttered explanation of things::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
CO: Reporting for duty sir.  What is our status?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
XO: The Gorn just left. No explanation. No shots fired.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CSO: What heading was the Gorn ship taking when it left?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::walks onto the bridge::  CO:  Counselor is reporting for duty.  The XO is in one piece, but I think his nerves are somewhat shattered.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her fingers lightly touch the controls as she sends various strands through the computer.::
MO_Chen says:
:: Arrives in the shuttle bay with her team.::
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Sir, dropping to Yellow Alert.  ::Drops the ship to yellow alert and relaxes a slight bit.::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smiles at the CNS' statement and speaks as an aside:: CNS: Trying to make more work for yourself?
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Course laid in sir.
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
CNS:  We'll see about shattered nerves in the holodeck
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
:: Nods toward Randi, good to see she is back safe.::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Nah, but I didn't know Klingons were so delicate Sir! ::grinning::
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
FCO: Engage at maximum warp; we've spent too much time here.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::sees Sierra and nods back::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sends Sierra a fleeting mind touch::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
::looks at the CNS and grunts::
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Maximum warp, aye, sir. ::moves the ship out to the safe distance and hits the controls:: And we're away.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::smiles:: CSO: Sierra, keep an eye out for any incoming ships as we go.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: relaxes a bit now and continues working ::
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CEO:  Holly, did I see a scratch on the side of the Huron that wasn't there when I left?
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
::relaxes slightly now that that crisis has strangely abated itself::
XO_Cdr_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Any sign of pursuit?
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Aye sir... in answer to your question, they headed in the opposite direction we are headed.
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles :: CNS: I think you need your eyes checked Randi. We're in perfect shape.
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CSO: Lovely. ::smiles in relief::
SO_Anda says:
CO:  Sir, there was no specific race on either of the ships.  They cross the ranged.  And each ship held approximately 30 per vessel, give and take a few on different ones.
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Beware... that does not mean anything.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Negative Sir, nothing on sensors, and there isn't even that much in range that can catch us in range.
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CEO:  I think you better look...
CO_LtCmdr_Andrews says:
CSO: Well, it'll take them longer to catch up with us.
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra: You have this a second?  I need to find a couple of tools scattered about the Bridge.  Thanks.  ::Recovers most of the tools, but can't find one wrench.::
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: winks :: CNS: I will.
MO_Chen says:
:: Watches as her people split up and with the help of Fred and Barney, they quickly get the vaccine unloaded and headed for sickbay.::
CSO_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  If... they remain on that course.  However, we will keep an eye out for them... just in case.
 
ACTION:  The Huron goes into orbit around Durrava.
