Mission Prologue:  
The USS Huron has answered another distress call from a Tellarite vessel that appears to have come under fire from a Romulan Shrike Class Destroyer.  When they beam aboard to investigate, something activates the vessel's self-destruct and the crew has four minutes to deactivate it before being blown to smithereens.

With the clock ticking away, who will be the first one to scream .. Let's get the heck outta here?  Or will the Away Team be able to stop the countdown before it's too late?

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

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  What's your status? Any progress?

FCO_Bishara says:
::Has a complete lock on to the AT and has input the most viable escape vector away from the ship that is about to self destruct.::

ACTION:  OPS finally enters a code the computer likes, and it appears to stop the countdown .. but unfortunately it also deactivates the lights.  The crew is now in the dark.

Tellarite Vessel Computer says:
@Out loud:  Three minnnnnn….…. ::Trails off and then stops.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Fiddles with the self destruct control trying to get the darn thing to shut down.::  *XO*:  We've deactivated the self destruct, but have just lost lights.

Dr. Stevens says:
@ALL:  I think you need to have a look at this.  ::Pauses because it gets dark.::  Okay, who turned out the lights?  Self:  Countdown off, good.  Lights off, bad.

FCO_Bishara says:
::Decides to do a research on the people of Lemarac and decides to give this information to the XO.::

Dr. Stevens says:
@OPS:  Can you please try to get the lights back on again?  Try to get access to the ship's logs, particularly the last log recorded.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Are you sure it's deactivated?  It may have stopped counting down.  Did you bring torches?  We could beam you a few if need be.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, it says here that prior to their developing early warp flight capabilities they had rudimentary ships with no transport technology.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Clicks her wrist light on.::  Stevens:  Didn't you wear your wrist light?  ::Rolls her eyes.::

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Hears the comm.::  ALL:  I have a flashlight in my medkit.  Let me get it.  ::Fumbles over to the medkit in the dark, and opens it up.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  We have emergency beacon lights Commander.  Checking the system now.

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  Wrist light?  I think those were only handed out to the engineers.  ::Chuckles.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Aye, Ensign.  Let's focus on the emergency at end and we'll go back to the Lemarac info.  Are we still alone in the area?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Let me know if we can be of assistance.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*: The self destruct is deactivated Commander.

ACTION:  The CTO trips over the open medkit and falls forward bumping his head hard on a nearby console.  In the dark, he is babbling something incoherently to the CEO, and then all of a sudden he is silent.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO: Yes, Sir.  All my scans come back that states we are alone, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Hears something hit the deck and shines her light in that direction.::  CTO:  Icky!

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Hears the thud, and manages to locate his flashlight.  Turns it on and points it at CTO who is lying on the floor next to him.  Grabs a medical tricorder over him to analyze his condition.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Good.  Make sure you gather all information like logs.  See if there is anything out of place, or that could help us know what happened.

FCO_Bishara says:
::Begins to sense anxiety from the CEO.::

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, I am sensing some anxiety from the CEO.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Stevens:  Doctor, it's Commander Ec`Thel`lon.  He's hurt.  ::Bends down beside Icky.::

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Standing over the CTO, and looking up at the CEO.::  CEO:  He hit his head pretty hard.  ::Grabs a hypo.::  I've injected him with a hypo to treat him for the trauma.  ::Said in a soothing voice knowing the CEO would naturally be concerned for him.::

ACTION:  OPS Manages to get the lights back on.  The CTO is lying on the deck, just staring forward.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Good, that'll give us a few minutes to learn more about this.  Let's keep our same lock on the away team even though things are not as urgent as when that countdown was sounding.

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  He should be beamed to sickbay for further treatment, but we need to stay here.  There is something I found that I need to show you.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Commander, Commander Ec`thel`lon has been injured.  You may want to beam him back for treatment if Dr. Stevens agrees.

ACTION:  The CTO stares in the CEO's direction, and continues to babble out loud.

Dr. Stevens says:
@*XO*:  Agreed, Commander.  He should be beamed to sickbay for further treatment.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  How badly injured?

Dr. Stevens says:
@*XO*:  He hit his head pretty hard.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Stevens:  I've just informed the Huron.  ::Looks down and tries to comfort Icky.::  CTO:  You're going to be fine dear, just fine.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*Stevens*:  We will beam him now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Notify sickbay of the CTO's arrival and beam him there.

FCO_Bishara says:
::Nods at the XO and narrows the scanner for the AT.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*AT*:  We are beaming the CTO in a few seconds.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Understood, Sir.  ::Begins to get the coordinates from the scanners and locks onto the CTO.::

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, I have a solid lock on the CTO.  Energizing now.

Dr. Stevens says:
@CTO:  We are going to beam you to sickbay, Sir.  You're going to be fine.

ACTION:  The CTO is beamed directly to sickbay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Transferring all files to the Huron's computer, Commander.  There should be complete bridge logs as well as the Captain's personal records.

FCO_Bishara says:
*Sickbay*:  Prepare for incoming wounded.  CTO has been injured.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Taps her padd and sends the records to the Huron.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Thank you.  We will start to analyze them as soon as they arrive.

ACTION:  As the CEO hits the transfer records button, the files begin to upload to the Huron's computer.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Files are downloading, Sir, directly into the computers.

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Goes back to the open panel he was at previously.::  CEO:  Ma'am, I think this is important to what happened here.  ::Points to the panel he had opened up.::  They had something hidden in here.  Someone fired a phaser to get inside.  ::Points to the burned area on the outside.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Moves closer to Stevens to examine the panel.::  Stevens:  How do you know something was hidden in there?

ACTION:  As the files begin to upload to the Huron's computer, the FCO's console begins to blink indicating a possible virus being uploaded.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Examines the burn marks closely.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Good.  ::Looks at the bridge crew around her and directs her comments to the two SO’s.::  SO’s:  Please start analyzing the data and report anything out of the ordinary.  The FCO will assist.

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Passes a tricorder inside the panel.::  CEO:  Tricorder readings indicate an unknown energy substance.  And it was heavily shielded.  Whatever it was, it's highly unstable.  Someone had guts firing a phaser at it, that's for sure.  Either that, or they didn't know what was in there.  I would say this was the Tellarite's “real” cargo.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir!!!  My console is indicating we may be uploading a virus.  Suggest we cut the link now.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Cut it and try to isolate it.

ACTION:  The Huron's red alert is suddenly activated and a distress signal is automatically being sent out.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.  On it already.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Stevens:  Well at least it was small.

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Leaves out a deep sigh.::  CEO:  Anyway, the point is whatever was in there, is gone now.  I've downloaded the energy signature into my tricorder, and I'll need to run some tests when I get back to the ship to determine what the substance was.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Ensign Bishara suspects a possible virus being transferred...

FCO_Bishara says:
::Hands go flying across her board slaving ops as well to get into the computer file that was just downloaded and tries to isolate the encryption code that is buried in it.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Virus?  I didn't detect any virus on this end.  Isolate the data immediately!

FCO_Bishara says:
::Hands still moving rapidly to isolate and quarantine the uploaded files.::

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  Whoever took the cargo may have planted a virus in the system to keep us from finding what they were really carrying here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Stevens:  Speculation?

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  It's a good thing that countdown was stopped.  I believe there are enough traces of that unstable substance onboard to cause a nice boom if the Tellarite vessel were destroyed.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  I think I have it isolated, Sir, but I can't tell from here.  I need the CEO and her wisdom to do that.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
ALL:  What the hell?  Red alert?

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  It activated on its own and it is sending out the standard distress signal.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Red alert just activated itself here.  We are trying to isolate and quarantine the files but the FCO requests your help.  We will beam the AT back to the ship as we need to take care of our own situation now.

Duty OPS says:
XO:  Ma'am, my console is showing a distress signal coming from our ship.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO/OPS:  Distress signal?  What kind?

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, at this point the only thing I trust is a shuttle.

ACTION:  The computer on the Tellarite Vessel comes to life and attempts to display a video log.  It turns on and off a few times and is full of static, but finally a good image appears on the console.

Duty OPS says:
XO:  I can turn it off, Sir.  I believe I can isolate the problem.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Understood Commander.  We have found traces of something.......::pauses:: Hold ma'am.  We may have some new information coming in.

Tellarite Captain Garth says:
@::From the video console.::  ALL:  This is Captain Garth of the Tellarite Vessel Shaqaran.  We are under attack by a Romulan Shrike vessel.  They have intercepted our comm to a Federation Outpost.  We are attempting to evade capture.  I have placed a distress call to any vessels in the area to assist.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Indeed, our transport could be corrupted to.... Send them a shuttle.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Duty OPS:  Go ahead. Try it.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Taps the main video feed to clear the image.::

FCO_Bishara says:
Duty OPS:  Then I suggest you get it done and soon.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  You want me to get them?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  What new info?  We will send you a shuttle as we don't trust the transport right now.

ACTION:  Duty OPS manages to turn off the distress signal.

Tellarite Captain Garth says:
@ALL:  We have come under fire, and our shields are not holding.  They have managed to take out our weapons.  We must protect our cargo at all costs and get a message to the authorities!  The cargo we are carrying is ..

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Go ahead but put your best damn other FCO on the bridge... I'm not liking this at all.

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Heads over to the video display to get a better view.:: CEO:  Interesting ..

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  I can send my second damned best pilot to get them, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Isolates the message on her padd and readies for transport.::  *XO*:  Understood Commander.  I'm bringing a message with me that appears to be from the Tellarite Captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Make it so.

Duty OPS says:
XO:  Sir, Distress signal is off.  I've managed to isolate that virus as well.  I've initiated a feedback loop, so whatever data is coming in will get transferred to an area that will not interfere with our systems.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Looks at the message again and then at Dr. Stevens.::  Stevens:  So what do you think?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Duty OPS:  Good job. Good.

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  No way to tell without the rest of the file.  Can you get it to start up again?

FCO_Bishara says:
*FCO Lightfoot*:  Get you Indian hide to the shuttle bay and take a shuttle to where the AT is and wait for further orders.  You are cleared to launch as soon as you finish pre-flight operations.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Stevens:  I can try, but that virus may have corrupted the data beyond saving.

FCO_Lightfoot says:
*FCO*:  Yes, Sir.  I am gone.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  We have isolated the virus and stopped the distress signal.  No matter, we are sending a shuttle to bring you back.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Duty OPS:  Are all our systems properly functional?

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  I need to see the rest of that message.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Standing by, Commander.

Duty OPS says:
::Checks primary systems, and performs diagnostics.::  XO:  Already doing diagnostics, Sir.  Should take about 10 minutes.

FCO_Bishara says:
::Gets the comm from Lightfoot and gives him permission to leave.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Duty OPS:  Thanks.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Anything critical in that new information you have found?

Duty OPS says:
::Nods to the Exec.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Stevens:  Well we have a little time before the shuttle gets here.  Let's see what I can do.

FCO_Bishara says:
*CEO*:  Sir, Lt. Lightfoot is bringing down a shuttle to pick you up.  He will be staying in a geosynchronous orbit above you, Sir.  When you need to be beamed out he will initiate the transport to the shuttle and then fly home.

ACTION:  The CEO manages to start the message back up.  A blast is heard coming over the vessel's speakers, and the visual message begins to get spotty.

Tellarite Captain Garth says:
@ALL:  We have de....….. buoys in …… capture, but ……. destr.. the ..….  attack!  The cargo .. cing … of …  foun.. on … Lemara…

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  Looks like they were attacked.  Can you clean up the message?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Ma'am, the Captain mentions the attack by a Romulan Shrike ship.  They lost weapons and had a message intercepted to a Federation outpost.  He was about to mention what his cargo was and well...we've lost the rest of it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Make sure you record that message, sans virus, and while waiting for the shuttle, try to see if you can find the rest.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@Stevens:  I don't know, but I can try.

Dr. Stevens says:
@Mumbling to self:  Tellarite piece of crap!

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Grins at Stevens.::  Stevens:  Seems Commander Odan is anxious to hear it too.

FCO_Lightfoot says:
#*FCO*:  Sir, attained orbit over AT coordinates.  Will wait for further orders, Sir.

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  Sounds like they said Lemarac.  I wonder if the cargo they were carrying came from Lemarac?  I think we'll get a lot of answers when we get to Lemarac.  ::Places emphasis on the word “when”.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Taps the panel in several places trying to get the message cleaned up.::

ACTION:  The viewscreen displays the back end of the Tellarite shuttle, which is dark, but two Romulans figures can be seen beaming into the shuttle.  They fire their phasers at the Tellarite Captain and the video monitor, and the video ends there.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, Lt. Lightfoot has achieved orbit and is awaiting further orders, Sir.

Dr. Stevens says:
@CEO:  Look .. ::points to the screen.:: what I see.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Stares at the screen.::  Stevens:  Aye, Romulans alright.

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Looks at OPS.::  OPS:  Friends of yours?  ::Wonders if they have a spy onboard the Huron.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  The shuttle is in orbit.  What's your status?

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Grumbles at the message.::  CEO:  I don't think there's anything else we need here.  It's pretty clear they got what they came for.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@::Finishes the upload.::  *XO*:  Just finishing up here Commander.  We should be aboard soon.

ACTION:  The countdown suddenly starts again…

Tellarite Vessel Computer says: 
@Out loud:  ……utes thirty seconds to detonation.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  I have detected the self destruct again.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  What?

Dr. Stevens says:
@::Jumps back.::  Outloud:  Yikes!  The countdown.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Duty OPS:  Your 10 minute is up.  Is it safe to transport?

FCO_Bishara says:
*FCO Lightfoot*:  Energize and pick them out of there now and return to the Huron immediately.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says: 
@::Looks at Stevens and the others.::  All:  I guess that means......get off!

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  We have detected the self destruct.  We are getting you out of there now.

Duty OPS says:
::Looks at her console, trying to make a decision.  Reviewing the Data.::  XO:  Sir, I think we're good to go.  Get them out of there!

FCO_Lightfoot says:
#*CEO*:  Time to come home.  ::Energizes the transporter beam.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
@*XO*:  Make it fast....please.

ACTION:  The Away Team beam safely off the Tellarite Vessel.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Have your shuttle be back here ASAP and storm us out of here.  Heading:  Lemarac.

Duty OPS says:
XO:  They were beamed successfully, Sir!  She has them.  We need to put some distance between us and that vessel.

FCO_Bishara says:
::The FCO of the shuttle sees all the AT aboard and turns and races for the Huron and the shuttle bay.::

Duty OPS says:
*FCO Lightfoot*:  Opening shuttle bay doors, Sir.  Hurry!  Should be about 3 minutes to detonation now!

FCO_Bishara says:
*FCO Lightfoot*:  Shuttle bay doors open and just get in and shut the door. Stay in the shuttle till I get us out of here.

Duty OPS says:
XO:  Sir, as soon as we have them, I suggest going immediately to warp.

FCO_Bishara says:
::Hands race across her board and ties in the second of three escape vectors.::

FCO_Bishara says:
*Engineering*:  Be ready for a warp 9 jump once the shuttle is onboard.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
OPS:  Of course we'll get out of here ASAP.  I don't want to fry more than you do.

FCO_Bishara says:
Duty OPS:  I am way ahead of you on that one.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Give me all you can from the Huron.

ACTION:  The shuttle enters the shuttle bay doors, and the shuttle bay doors close behind them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Wondering what is going on as they're stuck in the shuttle.::

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Engineering is ready for warp 9 jump.

Duty OPS says:
XO/FCO:  They're in the shuttle bay.

FCO_Bishara says:
ALL:  Hold on for warp 9 jump NOW!

FCO_Bishara says:
::Hits the button and......::

ACTION:  The Huron jumps to warp, just as the Tellarite Vessel explodes generating a shockwave, which is headed toward the Huron.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Thinks, they better not jump to warp nine.::

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Shockwave coming.  Let’s surf it .

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  As soon as we are in safe distance, drop us to warp 4 or so... don't want to push the ship too hard or the CEO won't like us.

Dr. Stevens says:
CEO:  I need to get to sickbay to treat the CTO.  May I be excused?

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Shuttle FCO:  Open the hatch now!

ACTION:  The Shuttle FCO opens the hatch.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Stevens:  You're not the only one that is going to sickbay.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Motions for Stevens to go.::

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Already on it, Sir.  ::Gradually brings the ship down to warp 4 and gets ready to surf the shock wave.::

Dr. Stevens says:
CEO:  Aye, Sir.  You can come with me.

ACTION:  The shockwave pushes the Huron forward and rattles the ship, knocking out sensors.  Shields are down 35%.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Stevens:  Not now, I have to find out what's going on first.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Too soon, Sir.  Should have left it up there.

Dr. Stevens says:
::Falls out of the shuttle as the ship shakes.::

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Shields down to 35%, Sir.  The CEO is going to have a fit.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Grabs the edge of the hatch.::  Self:  Now what?

Dr. Stevens says:
CEO:  What the heck was that?!

FCO_Bishara says:
ALL:  Hang on, shockwave.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Cmdr, Main Engineering is going to need you ASAP.... hang....n...

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Stevens: Trouble I bet.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
::Tries to steady herself in the Big Chair (TM).::

Duty OPS says:
::Holds onto her console as the ship is shaken.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Who is racing my engines?  If I catch them, sickbay is going to be busy.

Dr. Stevens says:
CEO:  I bet that Tellarite shuttle had something to do with this.  ::Hears the CEO's comment and cringes.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Cm...dr ::as she tries to speak while they are being shaken:: ... it... w... eit...r .... that.... or ....death.

FCO_Bishara says:
*CEO*:  Sorry, Sir but there was no choice, Sir.  Either I pushed them or we died.  From one Ex CEO to another it worked and the ship is still in one piece, Sir.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Stevens:  I don't care about that hunk of junk, but if the Huron is damaged someone is working overtime for the next century!  ::Storms off.::

ACTION:  The shockwave passes and the Huron settles calmly.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  One piece is irrelevant!  If you've messed up......::Pauses and shuts the comm.::

Dr. Stevens says:
::Heads to the nearest TL, mumbling something to himself about having enough work to do in sickbay.::

Duty OPS says:
XO:  I think it's over, Sir.  The shockwave has dissipated.  Damage reports are coming in.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  I don't think she likes me to much.  ::Cringes as she senses the anger from her.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Drop warp down as ordered earlier so we can make repairs and assess the situation.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Pushes into main engineering and starts yelling.::  Martin:  Martin, report now!

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Shock wave has dissipated and I am bringing her to warp 4 as ordered.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Duty OPS:  Make sure power allocation goes to the critical areas so Engineering can make repairs.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*CEO*:  Time to do your magic, Commander.  Sorry, but it was needed.

EO Martin says:
CEO: Thank goodness, Holly.  Here you go.

FCO_Bishara says: 
::Slows the Huron down gently to warp four so the CEO won't have kittens.::

Dr. Stevens says:
*XO*:  Sir, for the record, my tricorder picked up an unknown high energy source on that Tellarite Vessel.  I believe if we had not gotten out when we did .. ::Does not finish the sentence.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Commander, magic is not exactly my forte but we shall see.  Sparks out.

Duty OPS says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  I'm rerouting power as we speak, and pulling power from secondary systems to compensate.  ::Presses a few buttons on her console to make it so.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks over the report.::  Self:  Hmm, deflector grid offline, optical subprocessors in the computer core down..impulse, warp drives in tact.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
*Stevens*:  The Tellarite ship blew up minutes after... you would be gone... Go take care of the injured and give me a report as soon as possible.

Dr. Stevens says:
::Exits the TL, and heads down the corridor.  Enters sickbay and sees a few officers with injuries waiting to be treated.::  *XO*:  Aye, Sir.  It's a mess down here.  I need to check on our CTO.

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
Martin:  Get teams on all of these repairs stat!  I want everything operating in less than twenty four hours is that understood?

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
Duty OPS:  Can you get me a round up of those reports you are receiving?

Martin says:
CEO:  On it already Holly and welcome back.  ::Smiles sweetly.::

Dr. Stevens says:
::Heads over to the CTO, who appears to be sleeping now.  Reviews his vitals.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
FCO:  Maintain heading to Lemarac.  And let's hope we are not being stopped again.  Those repairs will slow us down already... At least we are all intact...

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Waves him off and heads for the door.::  Martin:  I'll be on the bridge.  Inform me when the repairs are complete.

FCO_Bishara says:
XO:  Maintaining course for Lemarac, Sir.

Duty OPS says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Taps her console.::  Sensors are offline.  Minor injuries are being reported on all decks.  I'm still waiting on a report from engineering.

Host XO_Cmdr_Odan says:
::Nods at the Duty OPS.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Sparks says:
::Enters the bridge hearing the duty OPS.::  Duty OPS:  I have it right here.  ::Holds up the padd and wiggles it at the XO.::  XO:  Commander, are you quite done shaking the ship around?

Nurse says: 
::Walks over to the doctor.::  Dr. Stevens:  He's sleeping now, Sir.  It was only a minor concussion.  He should be monitored for the next 48 hours though.

Duty OPS says:
CEO:  Yes, Sir.

Dr. Stevens says:
