Mission Prologue:  
It appears the Huron has once again been delayed from reaching the planet Lemarac.  First by an out-of-control shuttle operated by a cadet and his flight instructor (and they say women are bad drivers), next by a freighter that narrowly misses running them over to avoid a collision with the smaller shuttlecraft, and then by a Pakled vessel having mechanical difficulties.

How paranoid are the crew that they have to attach Veridian patches before they transport to a Pakled vessel?  After all, how dangerous can a Pakled be, right?

Will the Huron ever reach the planet Lemarac?  Or will the doctor need to administer hypos of Geritol to the crew before they reach their destination?

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present the USS Huron in … “Between the Shadows”, Chapter Four, “Boom Chug-a-lug” ... Stardate 10609.16

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Resume Mission >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

INFORMATION:  The Huron is 1 week away from the planet, Lemarac.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Starts pulling up the specs on the transporters, trying to find out why the darn things winked earlier.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge, running diagnostics on Long Range Sensors to ensure they are ready when entering range of the system.::

Host XO_Odan says:
::Exiting sickbay after getting a clean bill of health from the doctor.::

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Sitting at his console falling asleep.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks around engineering but can't find Martin anywhere.::  Self: This place is awfully quiet today.

Host XO_Odan says:
::Stops in the corridor and looks at her feet wondering why she tripped earlier.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*: I don't care if it's time to update security's database, I want those two slackers working with you all on the sensors.  I didn't bring those walking computers on board to have them be data processors.

ACTION:  The CEO has a terrible itch on her back right shoulder.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Watching and checking her navigation and helm station for inconsistencies.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Starts to scratch at her shoulder but can't quite reach it.::

ACTION:  As the Huron travels to Lemarac, the FCO notices the stars around the ship beginning to fade and the surrounding space darkening.

Host XO_Odan says:
::Shrugs, smiles at a young Ens who was looking at her funny, and quickly enters a TL.::

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Falls asleep, dreaming.::  Self:  Hmm, no I'm not getting up mom, go away.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves to the edge of a console and rubs her back on the side.::  Self: Oh....oooo....ahhh.

Host XO_Odan says:
TL:  Bridge!

ACTION:  CTO's sensors pick up an object floating in space about 15 minutes from their location.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles as the itching is soothed.::  Self:  Much better.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Slides his arm away unconsciously and lays his head on the console.::

ACTION:  An automated distress signal is coming from the object.

Host XO_Odan says:
::Exits the TL and as she steps onto the bridge, her feet get caught somehow, but she manages to stay up and not lose face.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Decides that she better check out transporter room one.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO: I'm picking up a distress call coming from about 15 minutes away, feeding location now,  I think we need to go take a look.

Host XO_Odan says:
ALL:  Everyone.  What is our status?  ::As she approaches the Big Chair (TM).::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Just picked up a ship with a distress call from a Tellarite Freighter, sensors show it's in pretty bad shape.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*Bridge*:  Sparks here. I'm heading to transporter one to check on the transporter controls.

Host XO_Odan says:
*CEO*: Aye, Cmdr Sparks. Let us know if something arises there.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Begins snoring quietly.::

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO: Can you play the distress call out loud, please?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Looks like it's suffered from heavy damage and...looks like it's got some fancy buoys, the type used to emit false warp signals.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Acknowledged Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: It's automated, no message.

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO: False warp signals? What else can it fake?

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  What is our ETA to that freighter?

Host XO_Odan says:
::Before she sits in the chair, she notices the OPS and walks towards him.::

Host XO_Odan says:
::As she pokes him.::  OPS: I hope we are not disturbing you too much, Lieutenant?

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Dreaming.::  Self:  Oh, what a nice little -- ::Feels himself being poked and quickly sits up and screams.:: 

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Could be used for other things, but I think they're used as decoys, to throw off pursuit.  Reading weapons signatures on the hull now, looks like Disruptor cannons.

ACTION:  The Operations Officer stumbles off his chair as he is poked.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
Self:  Oof. ::Growls and stands up, now fully awake and dusts himself off and takes his seat.:: XO: Sorry about that...

Host XO_Odan says:
OPS:  If you need to sleep Lieutenant, we will make sure to change you to a shift that will suit your sleeping pattern. If you prefer to stay on this shift, stay awake.  Now, help the CTO assess this situation with the distress call.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Heads for the transporter room hoping that she can find the problem there.::

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO:  What else can you tell me about that freighter. I would like to ensure it's a legit call before we divert once again our route to Lemarac.

ACTION:  As the CEO heads to the transport room, she gets another itch on her shoulder.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Suggest going to Yellow Alert.  It looks like someone attacked the other ship.  It's a Tellarite freighter, not sure yet what it's carrying.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Grumbles to himself, angry that someone who's been here less time than him is telling him what to do, regardless of rank.::  Self:  Hmph.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Stops in the corridor and looks for a place to scratch her shoulder again.::

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO:  Aye, make it so.  Work with Lieutenant Sahen to gather all info about the freighter.  Also scan the area for anything out of the ordinary that might tell us what happened.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Activates Yellow Alert.::  XO: Done, and acknowledged.

Host XO_Odan says:
OPS:  How far are we from the freighter?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks down the left side of the corridor and sees an open door with an inviting door jam just waiting for her.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  Not getting an ID code from the ship, and can't ID from sensor readings yet.  Anything in the Navigation charts that might help figure out who it is?

ACTION:  The CEO finally relieves the itch, but now her shoulder has a red blotchy mark on it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Rubs up and down happily as she hears the yellow alert .::  *Bridge*: What's happening?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sets sensors to search for signs of other ship's passing in the area.::

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Stretches and then moves his hands to the console but feels the PADD the Captain gave him.::  Self:  Ah, I almost forgot!   XO: Commander, the Captain told me to give you this.

Host XO_Odan says:
*CEO*:  We have received a distress signal from a Tellarite Freighter ship.  We are currently assessing the situation.

Host XO_Odan says:
::Sees the PADD.::  OPS:  Thank you.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Checks the Navigation charts.::

Host XO_Odan says:
::Quickly reads the padds as she sits in the CO's chair while he is away.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Understood, Commander.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  What is our ETA from the Tellarite Freighter?

Host XO_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Everything okay, down there, Commander?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Quickly arrives at the transporter room.::  *XO*: Commander?

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  15 minutes, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Starts tearing apart the transport panel as she waits for Odan to answer.::  Self:  Now to access the records.

ACTION:  The CTO starts to get an itch on his right arm.  When he looks down, there is a small white scaly rash on his arm.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
CTO:  Ah, here we go.  It looks like it's a cargo vessel carrying dilithium.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*:  Drop the diagnostics, we have a possible situation involving violent ship action.  Get the Bynars back to analyze the incoming data, and get yourself back up here.  ::Scratches arm.::  Self: What in the void is this?

Host XO_Odan says:
*CEO*:  I was just asking you if everything was okay with your tasks?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  Dilithium?  Nice target that could be.  Let's hope that they didn't fight too hard to defend it, although I don't like the looks of the ship from this range.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Everything is fine ma'am.  I'm just starting the check of the transport logs now.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
CTO:  It appears to have been on a heading to Lemarac.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  Okay, I guess we can make a small stop. Just slow down the ship and wait for my order before heading towards that ship.

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO/OPS:  So what are your new findings?  Does it look like a legit distress call?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Not seeing anything that negates it, Commander.  Someone hit 'em hard.

Host XO_Odan says:
::Nods at the CTO.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Runs through the logs for the time index of the away team's beam out.::

Host XO_Odan says:
OPS:  Are their comms up?  Can you open a channel so we contact them?

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Understood sir slowing to warp 6.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Opens a comm and is greeted with silence.::  XO:  Their comms are up but no ones home.

Host XO_Odan says:
OPS:  Do we get life signs readings?

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Scans.::  XO: None.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes a comparison to the crew time index and notes they are identical.::  Self:  Hmm, nothing out of sequence here.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Scoo*:  Get Alpha team ready, and prepare an area for possible rescuee's.  Check with Sickbay to see where they'd like to set up Triage, and have that area secured as well.  Still no idea who we'll find, but I wanna make sure we're ready.

Host XO_Odan says:
ALL:  None.  So we have a distress call coming from a Tellarite freighter. There seems to have been fighting involved. And there are no life signs readings...

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  Head towards the freighter, this situation is ... strange...

Host XO_Odan says:
OPS:  Contact SFC and tell them we are making a small detour, once again.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir may I suggest you keep shields on hot standby, Sir.

Host XO_Odan says:
::Hears the FCO.::  CTO:  Any other ships in the area?  Or ion trails that we could pinpoint to the "bad" guys?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Comms Martin and has him run another set of diagnostics for all transporter systems....again.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Security is preparing for "guests" now, and I've got Alpha team preparing to head over, should it come to that.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Sighs.::  Self:  Diverted from our mission for another distress call...this is getting so old ::Sends SFC a message informing them of the situation::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:  **
XO: Nothing on sensor sweeps yet, although that doesn't rule out cloaking...scratch that, Romulan vessel also en route to Lemarac.

ACTION:  Martin also has a rash developing on his shoulder.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Obviously can't compare the weapon signatures to what that ship has, but Romulan vessels do use Disruptors.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Ears perk.:: CTO: Romulan?

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO:  Romulans.  Let's be cautious then.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  Acknowledged, at least the ship is Romulan.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Takes offense to that comment and glares at the XO.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
::Brings the Huron around and comes up alongside the Freighter but far enough away so she can turn around and afford the CTO his best shot if fired upon first.::

Host XO_Odan says:
ALL:  Once we arrive nearby the Tellarite ship, I want scans running.  And be ready for a possible AT to check up on the situation.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Packs up her kit and heads out, deciding to go to the bridge and check on things there.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Scans running, and Security is prepping for Away Team now, should it be needed.

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO:  You'll lead the away team if needed.  You can bring the OPS and CEO.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  Drop us out of warp so we can do proper analysis of the area.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye, I'd like a doctor from Sickbay as well, in case there are any survivors.

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO:  Good idea.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO: Understood sir dropping to impulse now.  ::Hands fly over the keypad and brings the ship out of warp to impulse and then brings it down to half impulse.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Steps onto the bridge, kit still in her hand and walks over to Icky.::  CTO:  Ok, what the devil is going on?  Aren't we still headed for Lemarac?

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Ship is now at half impulse, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Sees Angeltra get to the Bridge.::  Angeltra: Take over the sensor sweeps of the area, and I'll run the scans of the ship itself.  See if we can figure out what hit them.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  Thank you, Ensign.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  My pleasure, Sir.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Someone hit a Tellarite freighter pretty hard, looks like they cleared the ship of crew.

Host XO_Odan says:
CEO:  Nice to see you up here, Commander.  You will be of assistance.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  What someone?

Host XO_Odan says:
All:  Anything more on sensors and scans?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns.::  XO:  Commander.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Initial guess says it may be Romulan, but definitely someone using Disruptor type weapons.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  What section of the ship did they hit?

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Thinking.::  Self:  Hmph, could be Klingon too.  Everyone just blame the Romulans...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Sickbay*:  This is Commander Ec'Thel'Ion, we've got a crippled freighter that may have survivors aboard.  Prepare someone to join us on the Away Team.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  You reading atmosphere in their engineering section?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Easier to say what they didn't hit, entire ship looks pounded.  Atmospheric integrity appears intact, though.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
*CTO*:   Aye, Commander.  I'll join you myself in the transporter room.

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO:  Let's go ahead with the away team.  We'll get clearer answers that way.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Dr. Stevens*:  Thanks Doc, see you in a couple minutes.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO/OPS:  Looks like it's road trip time.  Let's go and see what we can learn about that ship.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
::Pulls a med kit from the shelf and walks out of sickbay, heading for a TL.  Enters the TL and orders it to the transporter room.::

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  I want you to keep a transporter lock on the AT at all times and be ready to head out in the blink of an eye.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Sighs.::  CTO:  As long as we don't get hugged again.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
::Arrives in the transporter room with his med kit and waits for the others to arrive.::

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Nods and stands up holding his shoulders high, head up, and chest out. Feels at his back making sure his disruptor is still there and when he feels the handle walks towards the TL.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  I don't think that's too likely, unfortunately.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Viridian patches should be applied, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  I've had this itch...::points to her shoulder :: even since we got back from the Pakled ship.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  It will help keep a better lock on them.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  I see that you always prepare for the worse.

Host XO_Odan says:
CTO:  Then would prefer that you wear Viridian patches in case...

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Stands in the turbolift with his hands laced behind his back:: Self: ::thinking:: Oh great, here come the turbolift jokes again...

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Yeah, my arm is kinda flurried as well.  Maybe Doctor Stevens can figure out what it is before we head over.  If not, then when we get back.  ::Steps into the Turbolift, leaving Angeltra at Tactical.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Yes, I do, Sir.  Since I come from the community sir it is actually a natural thing for me.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  Ever been on board a Tellar ship?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Steps inside and behind Icky.::  CTO:  Darn Pakleds.  I knew we couldn't trust them.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
CTO:  Can't say I have.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
TL:  Transporter Room 1.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  Let's hope we don't have to ever use those patches. They are a nice precaution.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Calls Martin to have a fully stocked engineering kit waiting for her in the transporter room.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Yes, Sir, they are and since this ship that we have here is void of living beings it does come highly recommended.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  Tend to be wide open areas a lot.  Something about any closed in areas being too tight...especially when horsing around.  Just wondering what we'll find intact.

ACTION:  The TL stops at the transporter room.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Arrives, grabs a Type II and a Tricorder, and steps on the pad.::  Scoo: You and Bee are with us, have the rest of Alpha stand by for backup.  And what happened to your snout?  New hair cut?

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
::Surprised the TL didn't break or act up and walks out of the TL and grabs a Tricorder and steps onto the forward-most available pad.::

Scoo says:
CTO:  No, but it's been itching like crazy.  ::Scratches snout vigorously.::

ACTION:  The CEO's rash appears to be stretching up to her neck now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Enters the room and sees the kit waiting.::

Host Dr_Stevens says:
::Steps on the Transporter pad with the rest of the AT.::  CTO:  Medical ready, Sir.  ::Notices the rash on the CTO and CEO and goes to the opposite side of the transport pad.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Maintaining safe distance from freighter just incase I have to make a turn for a shot at her.  Escape vectors laid in, Sir.  Better be prepared than sorry later.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  Good work.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Steps onto the pad and waits.::

Host Dr_Stevens says:
CTO/CEO/SCOO:  Remind me to look at those rashes when we get back.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Dr_Stephens:  Will do, hard to forget from this end.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Dr_Stephens:  What rash?

Host Dr_Stevens says:
::Points to her neck.::  CEO:  That not bothering you?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All:  Ready all?

Host Dr_Stevens says:
CTO:  Ready.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
CTO: Of course.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Reaches for her neck.::  Dr_Stephens:  No.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Ready.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Transporter Chief:  Set us down in the engine room.  We'll spread out from there.  Energize.

ACTION:  The AT transport to the Tellarite Vessel.  Inside emergency lights are on.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
@::Looks around.::  Self:  Hmm, strange indeed.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Looks around and heads for what appears to be the main console.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Scoo: You and Bee cover the entrances, keep your snouts open.

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  How are you liking the Huron so far, Ensign?

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@::Pulls out a scanner and starts to scan the ship.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, she is a dream and from a CEO's point of view she is home.

ACTION:  The transport appears to have activated some of the Tellarite ship's systems, and several of the consoles blink a few times.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*XO*:  Keeping my communicator channel open.  We're in the Engine room, Emergency lights are still operational.   Looks like there was a fire fight in here, probably 2 days back.

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
@::Examines the ship and walks over to one of the now lit consoles and tries to get some info out of it.::

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@CTO:  Looks like there were signs of a struggle.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  I'm getting some power fluctuations, Icky..but nothing that should endanger the team.

Tellarite Vessel Computer says:
Out loud:  Five minutes to detonation.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO/ OPS:  Consider yourselves covered.
Dr_Stevens:  Any signs of life the ship sensors might have missed?

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Flying her is just as I like it.  She is fast and can turn the way I want her to turn on her z axis 360 degrees.  She is a whole log of ship to handle.

Host Dr_Stevens says:
@::Gets white as a ghost.::  CTO:  What is that coming from the computer?

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
@All:  WHAT!? 

Tellarite Vessel Computer says:
Out loud:  Four minutes 30 seconds to detonation.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@CTO:  Strike that......trying to deactivate the detonation sequence.  ::Her fingers do their best to find the right button.::

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, I am sensing fear from the Away Team.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@OPS:  Get inside that thing and shut it down.  Start with some old Starfleet codes, hopefully the thing is old 'Fleet gear.

Host XO_Odan says:
*CTO*:  Aye, Cmdr. Do you see survivors or our scans were accurate and no one is left?

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO:  Any chance of hardwiring it out?

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
@CTO:  On it. ::Begins entering codes quickly in an attempt to stop the countdown.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*XO*:  No signs yet, but we may have activated a self destruct system.  Looking to deactivate now.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Icky, I have no idea how to do that. I'm not familiar with this configuration.

ACTION:  The command codes in the console appear to have been tampered with by someone.

Host XO_Odan says:
*CTO*:  Self destruct?  How long do you have?

Tellarite Vessel Computer says:
Out loud:  Four minutes to detonation.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO: Dump the Antimatter?  It's usually what's used to blow the ship.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO: Recommendation sir is to get them out and get out of here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Shakes her head at Icky.::

Host XO_Odan says:
FCO:  Get ready for transport and flying us out of here when I say so.

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@*XO*: Four minutes, we'll beam out at 3.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO: Understood I have a good lock on the Viridian patches on the Away Team.

Host XO_Odan says:
@CTO:  Aye, you have 1 minute not a second more!

CTO_LtCmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@CEO:  Forget it, if Lieutenant Sahen can't disable, then it's gone.  See if you can download the ship's logs.

FCO_Ens_T`Lar_Bishara says:
XO:  Waiting on your order, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  On it. ::Presses several buttons and hopes they are the right ones.::

OPS_LtJG_Sahen says:
@::Desperately going faster and faster entering Romulan codes now.::
