<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*ALL*:  Report your station status.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: At her station, glaring at one of the requests that had come her way, debating whether to honor it or ignore it.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: adjusts her combadge as she hops off the desk :: CO: You have been keeping an eye on Q`tor and that woman haven't you? :: moves to his side :: We need to take care of them you know. :: grins ::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::sits in his office, sighing at some of the reports he was forced to read. Being the CEO of a Sovereign-class starship was not a lot of fun:: *XO*: The engines haven't blown up yet, no thanks to the lot of you.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Yes, but they aren't much more than an entertaining distraction.  There is something we need, my dear.  A tool in the struggle.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*XO*:  If you would like, I can do that for you CEO.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Any unusual communications from other ships?
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO:  Ship is secure.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Oh you have a plan? :: moves closer :: Something that will make us all rich?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Smiles as she hears Dylan's voice.::  XO: Internal departments have no... complaints.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS/CTO:  Excellent.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::puts on a little kid voice:: *XO*: Oh, could you please? It would put me out of my misery. Nag nag nag. Fix my replicator, my sonic shower isn't working. What am I? The janitor?!
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: As rich as needed I would think.  Delor is wasting our talents out here.  We need to get into a better position with him.
aFCO says:
XO: Helm is answering Commander, all systems are a go.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO:  All is quiet at the moment.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
aFCO:  Thank you, ETA to mining colony?
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::standing up from her seat, she strolls over to the tac console::
aFCO says:
XO: That would be a little less than 24 hours Commander.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::leaning over she whispers to Q'tor::  CTO:  Think one of your men can do something with the CEO's tongue?
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
aFCO:  Very good... have you coordinated with the tactical officer in case we should have to meet any resistance?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: After a moment decides to alot half the request.  One so as not totally alienate the fool and two to remind him of the situation.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: I know you can handle Delor. You're much more clever.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: With that done and little else needing her attention, her mind wanders a bit to the night before.  Unconsciously a smile comes to her.::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks around main engineering, unsure for a moment why he's there::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Hands the XO a PADD with the tactical duty roster for the next 72 hours:: XO: ::whispers:: Commander Roznine has always been somewhat acerbic.  Just remember not to provoke him. Here is the duty roster.  Wagner and Rourke will be your back up on the mining colony.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: It's not about simple cleverness.  It's about getting us into the right place.  Or should I say, getting him into it.  Ah well, that problem will be solved, as you said.  Hopefully his rat picked targets will give enough to keep the crew content for long enough.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::shakes his head and gets up:: EO_Spanner: I'm going to the bridge, PLEASE try and not blow up the ship while I am gone? ::exits ME without a backward glance::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::as she reads the PADD she has a strange feeling about the CEO::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: But her smile does not last long as something nags at the back of her memory, something she is... forgetting?  But she never forgot anything.  That was part of her value.::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO: They are handpicking their teams.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: reaches up and kisses him :: CO: I suppose we should get back out there. That XO of yours may be plotting against you.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Thank you Q'tor, I feel much safer now.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Yes, that is true, and likely would be no matter where I was.  But let's go.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::walking back she takes her seat once more... something just doesn't feel right but she can't figure out what it is::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her fingers begin to tap unconsciously on her station as she tries to remember what it was.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: walks ahead of the Captain and out onto the bridge giving the XO a quick glance as she moves to the helm and relieves the pilot ::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::stalks along the corridor, slowly relaxing, even smiling at one of the crewmen... who immediately gets a terrified expression and heads off in the opposite direction at top speed::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Anything of note to report?
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  All stations report normal.  All is looking good.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::enters the TL and orders it to the bridge::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: takes her seat and looks over their course then begins to file her nails ::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Who have you chosen to go on the AT with me, or is that for me to decide?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Catches herself looking unconsciously at the chronometer and frowns.  She knew there were no appointments at this hour she was expected at.::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I'll leave that up to you, can't lead a mission like this without the right people.  How were you planning on convincing the miners of taking the right action?
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::enters the bridge and heads for the helm, only to stop next to it, looking uncertain for a moment::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: winks at the CEO :: CEO: Lost honey?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: As Dylan enters onto the bridge, her frown eases as she starts to ask Dylan about... her mind freezes and her frown returns more fiercely.::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  First, we need to know exactly what it is they are mining and how valuable it is.  Secondly by letting them know that we can furnish them protection and a good return on their dealing with us.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Angrily she looks at him as the source of her frustration.::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: The Pax Kazonica and it's amazing level of order is a good bargaining chip.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::blinks for a moment:: FCO: Uhm, I just came to tell you that the engines are working properly. Next time, don't redline them for so long. ::notices Sierra's frown::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  And if they have any sense at all, after realizing the power of the Kazon, it should be a no brainer for them.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles sweetly :: CEO: Thanks hot stuff. I'll remember that.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: There is that also.  Just keep me informed of who you plan on taking.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
FCO: Best you do. ::looks around, seemingly confused for a moment, then heads over to the MSD at the back of the bridge:: ~~~OPS: Have I annoyed you again? Or is that a welcoming frown?~~~
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  I would like to take the CEO, FCO and a security team down with me...
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: gives the CEO a look up and down and sighs ::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO:  Intelligence reports indicate that the colony population is approximately 700 people.  They have minimal defenses.  They should prove an easy target.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Very good.  
CTO: What sort of resistance do you expect?  Hopefully we won't need to completely rebuild the world once we're done.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: starts:: ~~~~CEO: Weren't you going to... to... ~~~~ :: Looks away and at the blank screen.::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  The CEO would be invaluable in assessing the value of our conquest...
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns swiftly :: XO: Me? I'm a pilot not some low level .....:: mumbles and inaudible word ::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~OPS: Going to... what?~~~ ::seemingly busy at his station, glad they could talk like this without others eavesdropping::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  If you would rather not fly the shuttle down, then I am sure I can find someone else to do it.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::hears the XO's words:: XO: I can.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Watches the exchange between the CO, XO, and FCO::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO: You're going to fly down there? Why not use the transporters? Much more efficient.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Puzzled, her thoughts unclear.:: ~~~~ CEO: I... I don't know.  It seems you were supposed to be doing something for me.~~~~
 
ACTION:  Sensors detect a ship on an intercept course.

CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO: Captain, we have a ship on an intercept course.  Unable to identify it yet.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  But not as impressive as a small show of force would be.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks up at the screen.::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO:  Arming weapons.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:; looks back to the screen and her screen ::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Shields up, ready weapons.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::frowns:: XO: Why did I say that. I'm possibly the worst pilot.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Hail that ship, let's give them a chance to identify themselves and make their purposes clear.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CEO:  I don't know, but it sounded right for a moment there.  ~~~CEO:  I hate to admit this, but something just doesn't seem right, how about you?~~~
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~OPS: I can think of several things I can be doing to... I mean for you. But I feel strange... Like something is out of alignment.~~~
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO:  I'm picking up elevated energy levels. Probably charging weapons.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Any known signature?
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::nods at Randi:: ~~~XO: I just had the same feeling... something is out of alignment.~~~
 
ACTION:  The vessel approaches with weapons armed.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Prepare for evasive maneuvers.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Prepare a firing solution, all weapons lock on.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CEO: Like... someone is... missing... someone... important...~~~~
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO: Signature is unknown.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO: On it Commander. ::inputs the evasives :: All set.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::starts preparing for battle:: ~~~OPS: I know what you mean. It is very frustrating.~~~
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Bridge is ready Sir...
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: presses a few buttons :: CO: Phasers and Torpedoes are locked on target.  Weapons are at full strength.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Suddenly stands up and starts to walk off the bridge.::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Disabling shots if they present themselves.  Let us see what they have if they come in hot...
OPS: Commander, I need you to hail that ship!
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: Sky!
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  What are you doing?
CAPT Angst says:
COM: Huron:  This is the attack vessel Goldor.  Give up and prepare to be boarded.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stops and looks confused.  With a shake of her head she turns back to her station and does as she was ordered.::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: They are hailing us it appears.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  He has got to be kidding!
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO:  they dare to call for our surrender?
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: smiles as she listens to the enemy Captain ::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: Seems like we have a challenge.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CTO: Against a Sovvie? Are they stupid?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Considers everyone should be happy with that.::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO: Ready to fire on your orders sir.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Shall I set us to ram her Captain?
Capt Angst says:
COM: Huron:  We have scanned your vessel, and you can see our weapons power pretty much match your own.  We have gotten word on your intentions and we can not allow that to happen.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::wonders what the CO is waiting for::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::turns to watch the Captain::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Angst: Now Captain, why would we do that?  I am Captain Ec'Thel'Ion of the Kazon Empire.  Disarm your weapons.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Analyze that ship, how much of a threat are they?
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
Co:  Word, intentions?  What is he talking about?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Begins to send messages throughout the ship, warning of power redistribution.::
Capt Angst says:
COM: Huron:  We are aware of whom you are allied.  We can not allow this in our part of space.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Shut down and reroute all power to the CTO's use.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::going over his tactical readouts:: CO: It would appear that the enemy is speaking truthfully sir.  Their weapons and shields are on par with our own.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: turns to face the CO :: CO: His part of space?
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::Warns the repair teams to be on standby, then looks down and frowns in confusion:: Self: Why did I call up evasive maneuvers?
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Angst: Your part of space?  And who is it that you are allied with?
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO:  Already completed.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: If it comes to a fight, hit 'em hard and don't give them a second shot.  In an even fight equipment wise, it's the crew that makes the difference.  They aren't a match.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::clears his screen and calls up the ship schematics::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
~~~~ CEO: Who did you leave Breaden with?~~~~
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
:: Wonders why the Captain is even talking with these p'taH and awaits the order to fire::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
*Sickbay*:  Be prepared... send out your medical teams to all decks.  ::then wonders why she did that::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~OPS: Isn't he with Jewe.... who's Braeden?~~~
Capt Angst says:
COM: Huron:  We are the Tervachi and we are allied with no one.  You are violating our part of space.  The Kazon Empire have no right to this space.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::targets the enemy ship's weapons and engines::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Turns around to look at Dylan, her eyes fierce, the encounter going on meaning nothing to her at the moment.::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  We need to strike now, no warning...
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Angst: Then you should see the problem.  You may be a match for us, but we aren't alone.  Join us, and you will live.  Resist, and you will be smashed like a gnat on a crashing asteroid.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO: I agree!
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::returns Sierra's glare:: ~~~OPS: You are making NO sense, yet you are making perfect sense. What is going on?~~~
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: begins the first of her evasive maneuvers ::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO/ CTO: Not if there is a new power that can match the Kazon technology.  At least not until we know who they are and where they came from.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO:  Would you have us bend knee to these veq along with the Kazon?
Capt Angst says:
COM:  Huron:  It is you that will be smashed.  ::signals his tactical officer to fire::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::turns to look at the CTO::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Open fire, they had their chance.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: fiercely:: CEO: I don't know and I don't like it!
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessels fire a volley of torpedoes, hitting the Huron.

CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Grabs his console to steady himself and returns fire::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: It's been too long.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  You may have waited too late...
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: I know what you mean, but unless we wait until after the fight, we won't find out.
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel is hit, taking minimal damage.  They return fire.

CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Start the evasives, but keep a firing solution for commander Q'Tor.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Suddenly brought back to the present, she turns back to her station.::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::readies another torpedo salvo and fires again::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CEO:  I think we are not going to survive this... it is like we have done this before.~~~
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: brings the ship hard over to port and above the enemy :: CO: Of course Captain, already initiated.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I stand by the decision, we needed to know who they were and where they came from.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~XO: What do you mean?~~~ ::glances over at her::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: You should be able to get her bridge from this angle.
Capt Angst says:
COM: Huron:  We must warn you, there are more of our attack vessels on the way.  Prepare to surrender!
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: See if you can tap into their systems, see if they are up to the task.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
~~~CEO:  I don't know!  I don't know how to explain this!~~~
 
ACTION:  Both vessels take hits, bringing their shielding down 30%.

OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Rerouts powers to the shields.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: jabs her nail file into the console as she grabs the edge ::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Can you confirm his claim of reinforcements?
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Maintains constant phaser fire on the enemy weapons and locks another torpedo salvo on the engines::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
~~~XO: Well, neither do I, Randi.~~~
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::looking at her readouts::  CO:  Shields are down 30% sir...
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel counters the Huron's torpedo with one of their own.

CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO:  Sensors aren't picking up anything, but that does not mean they aren't on their way.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS;  Divert more power to the shields.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: brings the Huron around and heads for the enemy's stern ::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO: Already done.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: They'll hold long enough for Q'tor to do his thing.
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel matches the Huron's moves.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  You hope... we could have been the first to fire ::grits her teeth:: SIR.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Leans back in her chair, wondering why people keep ordering her to do what she already had done.  And she really needed to go check on... frowns.::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Focuses all weapons on the enemy engines and fires::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks over at the CTO :: CTO: Q`tor, take them out will you?
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel fires another torpedo which takes out one of the Huron's nacelles.

CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
FCO:  ::growls::  Perhaps if your evasive maneuvers were more evasive!
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::stiffles a laugh::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO: We could confuse them in the sun... :: Her voice peters out as she turns to her station and looks again at the screen.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Sierra, can't you hack into their comm systems?
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Hope?  No, it's confidence.  And I told you already, I needed to know where these ships come from.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO:  We've lost the starboard warp nacelle!
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  OPS has had an excellent idea... we need to use the sun to confuse them.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Well if you would stop oggleing the XO long enough....
Capt Angst says:
COM: Huron:  We will state one last time.......stand down your weapons.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Do it, bring us to that star and see if they'll follow.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Begins to pull up old records, hers and Ethans.::
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::overloads a number of torpedoes and focuses them on a single point of the Tervachi shields and fires::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Aye sir.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Is there something specific you are thinking of trying?  Flying at the sun won't slow them much.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::compensates the engines for the loss of the nacell:: FCO: Are you breaking the ship again?
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves the ship towards the star hoping they follow ::
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessels shields drop down to 30%.  They return the volley of torpedoes.

OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: No, just get close enough for gravity to capture them.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Clever, assuming our engines are stronger.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Maintains a constant barrage on that single point in the Tervachi shields, trying to break through::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CEO: Just keep us flying mister and keep your mind on your work.
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel follows the Huron, firing at the same time.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Not too close, we have only one nacelle...
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Her voice unfocused, she continues her search, a finger nail tapping on her console.::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: They're pursuing Captain!
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
FCO: I was keeping my mind on my work. I can probably fly this ship better than you. ::tries to sound mean and nasty, but somehow it sounds all wrong::
 
ACTION:  The second nacelle is hit and begins venting plasma.

OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Unconsiously::  CEO: Yes you could... so why don't you...
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: We've been hit again.....damn, another nacelle....warp is offline.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Worry about who you think can fly better once the ship is working right.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: feels the ship dropping to impulse ::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Stands up and moves over to the science station.::
 
ACTION:  One of the Tervachi's nacelles is hit.

CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Keep your mind on what you're doing, not on what...Where are you going?!
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: Aye, sir. Though your skills as a tactical officer would be more useful. ::speaks without thinking::
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: To my station, I need to check some data.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  All right Q'tor... now get the other one!
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Doing his best to maintain weapons fire on the Tervachi shields::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:; yells at Roz :: CEO: Get warp back or you'll be wearing this nail file in your chest!
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel is able to modulate their shielding.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Sir, I sense they are frightened ::Now why did I say that?::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: What do you mean?  I haven't run Tactical in years, I can't match Q'Tor there!
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
FCO: You silly cow, we don't have nacelles, we don't have warp drive. You're an engineer, you should know that!
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Limp us into the sun's outer parts.  Half the crew has gone crazy!
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: wrinkles her nose :: CEO: Have you lost your mind man?
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Fires another salvo of torpedoes at the Tervachi vessel::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::shakes her head, this is all coming apart::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Rather space the lot sir..:: smiles ::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::looks around the bridge:: FCO: Apparently I have... ::turns his attention back to the console he was working at::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Moves to OPS.::  CTO: Can you knock them off our tail long enough to figure out what they're doing to our minds?
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
OPS:  Does ~~~OPS:  This isn't right, aren't you the CSO?~~~
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel sets course and pursues towards the sun.

FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: slowly takes the Huron into the sun's corona :: CEO: Metasphasic shielding online?
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::activates transporters and drops several anti-matter mines in the path of the Tervachi vessel::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::turns and walks to the helm:: FCO: If you get the approach angle just right, we can skim along the edge of the corona, and they won't be able to keep up.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Pulls up the ships recent route.:: ~~~~ XO: Yes Randi... but... ~~~~ :: shakes her head.::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::begins to rub her temples... perhaps she is losing her mind::
 
ACTION:  The blast from the mines take the Tervachi's vessels shields offline.

OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CEO: You will need to trace our last path.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::leans over Holly and taps a command:: FCO: Shields online.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: I'm shunting all power to the rear shields to give you a bit more time, everything except back up life support.  Should be enough to get us into the corona.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CEO: Stop telling me how to fly this ship...and get those shields reconfigured!
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: glances at sensors automatically.::  CTO:  Their shields are down.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Fires another salvo at the now shield less Tervachi vessel::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: What do you mean? ::quickly goes over to science to see what she is saying::
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:; pushes Roz away :: CEO: Get your hands off my console!
 
ACTION:  The Tervachi vessel continues on it's pursuit course toward the sun.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Has everyone lost their minds?
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::Continues firing at the Trevachi::
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
COM: Angst: Break off your pursuit and be happy with a draw, fool.  You can't follow us without shields!
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO: Let me finish them!!!
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: It appears that way.  Makes me wonder if it's some sort of Trevachi weapon.
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Finish them if you can!
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
XO: Internal temperature rising.  The gravity is pulling us both in.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Fine, but make it quick.  If they have help coming in we're in bad shape.
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
::moves to the engineering console to monitor the shielding:: OPS: Trace what path?
 
ACTION:  Both ships are caught in the sun's gravity.  The Tervachi vessel explodes from the intense heat.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Full impulse and get out and push if necessary.
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CEO: The path we came in on.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: Get us out of here, redirecting all available power from Tactical back into the engines.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods to Randi :: XO: Full impulse aye.
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO: Tervachi vessel is destroyed.... Captain ::snarls that last word out::
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
OPS: But I'm not the pilot... why tell me? ::pauses:: But I am the pilot....
 
ACTION:  Hull temperatures begin to rise dramatically on the Huron as it gets two minutes from the corona.

OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
:: Looks at her heart brother for a moment, then turns back to what she was doing.::
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::here we go again::  ALL:  Will someone turn up the airconditioning?
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: Nice shooting, now see if you can find signs of their apparent back up.
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
All: I'm not sure if it's going to be enough. Engines are straining..power levels...
CTO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CO:  You got us into this!  First you bow down to the Kazon and then you hesitate to fire when we are openly defied!
CEO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
FCO: Holly, you must mirror the curve and angle we approached the sun, trace the path we came in on.
CO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CTO: You will hold your tongue, or I'll have you spaced with the others who left their positions and...
FCO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
:: pulls out the nail file and throws it at the CTO :: CTO: Wear this.....
XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CTO:  Look out Q'tor!
OPS_LtCmd_Knight-Sky says:
CO: Temperature increasing, environmental cannot compensate much longer.

ACTION:  The Huron is brought into the corona.  Another bright flash of light encompasses the entire ship.

XO-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::raises her hands over her eyes::
 
ACTION:  The Huron finds itself back at her original time/location before they entered the corona the first time.

CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
::shakes her head::  CO:  Sir, we have to get back... this is all wrong!
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
CO:  Now Q'tor, NOW!
CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Commander, we're nearing the sun.
FCO_Cmdr_Roznine says:
CO: We're on approach for the sun's corona, sir.
CO_CDR says:
CTO:  Status of the Kazon vessels?
CNS-Cmdr-McIntyre says:
FCO:  Roz, get us out of here... now. I will explain later!
CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: They appear to have backed off.
CO_CDR says:
CTO: majqa!
