Mission Prologue:  

Last week on the USS Huron …

The away team was led by Avaya to the science labs on the other side of the planet.  They found the labs deserted, and the secure laboratory door open.  To their initial surprise they found a distillery that the Davlos scientists were using to make Romulan ale.  Was this why they were called here?

They soon discovered another room at the back of the lab that was now empty.  All equipment had been moved from the premises, and it appeared as though the away team just missed the thieves.  But where were all the people?  And why was the lab deserted?

After doing some scans, tricorders were locking up.  Of course the crew could only surmise that it was faulty Klingon equipment, but after the Captain saw the symbol on the tricorder a different set of circumstances developed.  And those circumstances weren't just about a crazed Klingon.  They were about the discovery of the Omega molecule that was being harnessed right here on Davlos.

The Captain ordered everyone out of the building, and just as they were leaving an explosion knocked the Executive Officer into another planetary zip code, and debris fell on the leg of the Flight Control Officer leaving two officers down.  It appeared the crew was now trapped inside the labs with no way out.  The more the crazy Klingon Captain tried to clear a path of escape, the more debris that fell in on them.  In fact, he nearly vaporized his Chief Engineer in the process.  Has the Klingon Captain totally gone bonkers?  Maybe he's just claustrophobic.

The moment of silence and gloom was broken when Qu’HoS opened a communication channel and beamed them to safety, and just in time as the building collapsed on their beam out.  With the Romulan vessels now taking the lead and headed into Romulan space, will the chagut be quick enough to catch the warbirds?  And will the crew trust their Captain and allow him to lead them to a battle into the unknown?

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

ACTION:  The chagut's sensors are detecting about 75 emergency crew personnel that are now on site at the labs.  About ¾ of the workers have entered inside the building.  The rest are surveying the property outside.  Civilians are beginning to gather as well.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Qu'HoS:  Target our transport coordinates and open fire.  Obliterate those labs!

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
FCO:  Any idea how to track them?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Status down there, Commander?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::In engineering trying to figure out how the Klingons run their department.:: Self:  I'll never figure this out.

Host Qu`HoS says:
CO:  Sir, there are civilians on the surface.  You want me to fire on them?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On chagut Bridge, making mental notes about where each switch for each function is.::  Self: Not as adaptable as Phasers but...
CO:  Captain, there are EMS and rescue teams at the site already.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Well do you want the good news or the bad news first?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Qu'HoS/CTO:  You have your orders!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Just tell me what you got.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Checks scans while waiting for the Flight Control Officer's answer.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looking at the Captain funny for his decision to fire.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Sir? Those are Federation citizens, coming to simply do their jobs.  Romulans left and took whatever they were playing with along with them.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  You have your orders, Commander.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Well sir, we have shields back up to full power, and weapons are online. The cloak needs another hour or so.

ACTION: One of capacitors that controls power fluctuations to the gravity plating blows up. The frontal part of the bridge is left without gravity. Captain's chair included.

Host Qu`HoS says:
::Starts to float in the air away from his console.::  CO:  Uh Sir .. I can't reach them no more.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Starts to float.::  ALL:  What just happened?  Did something break?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Begins floating up.::  *CEO*:  And get those gravity plates fixed.  We just lost it up here.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CSO:  Well before I came here I was the Chief Engineering Officer of the Cherokee and the Claymore, so we could go with a neutrino scan or an antiproton pulse to light them up.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::As he starts to float::  CTO:  You have your orders, Commander! Just as I have mine!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Pushes himself over to the weapons console.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Tries to grab her console.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
FCO:  It's worth to give both options to the Executive Officer and see which one he allows us to test first.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Grabs the console and reaches to grab the Chief Science Officer.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reaches for the console to keep from floating far, but misses.::  CO: Can't follow those orders, Captain.  ::Reaches for the wall to push back.::

Host Qu`HoS says:
::Reaches down and presses the button to release the torpedoes toward the planet.::  CO:  As you wish, Sir.  Fire away!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  I see the board. You've lost a capacitor on the gravity plates. I'll get a team on it right away.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
FCO: Thanks for the help ::as she reaches her console to see scan results.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  And fast.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Grabs the Chief Science Officer's shoulder and pushes her down to the console.::

ACTION:  Torpedoes fly toward the surface, reaching the labs and obliterating the labs.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Holding on the console beside him.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
FCO:  You can stop pushing me now. I got the access I need. You could present your options to the Executive Officer.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Sir!  That's not a valid target!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Sends a repair team to fix the blown capacitor.::  Self:  Nothing ever runs smoothly.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CSO:  Oops, I am so sorry.  ::Grins.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  In this situation, Commander, everything is a valid target!

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO: Sir, I may have a way to track the Romulan warbird.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO/CSO:  Any progress with your work?

ACTION:  A coolant conduit to the fusion reactor starts leaking. Engineering begins to fill with toxic fumes.

Host Qu`HoS says:
CO/CTO:  Target has been destroyed, joHwI'.

EO Martin says: 
::Enters the bridge and does his best to make it to the panel to repair the capacitor, thankful for his grav boots.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: I don't see how any situation can validate that.
FCO: Put us in a spin, dorsal at the center.  Should give us at least some G's.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Let’s here it, Lieutenant.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  We could use an anti proton pulse to light them up or we could ......Stand by, Sir.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
ALL: Sensors confirm that the labs are destroyed.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Takes the chagut and puts her in a spin according to the Chief Tactical Officer’s wishes.::

Davlos Operations says: 
@COM: chagut:  Why are you firing on us?  You have killed many civilians.  Cease fire immediately!

EO Martin says:
XO: Sir, I should have this repaired in about ten minutes.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Martin:  Good and make it fast, it's hard to work like this.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: Commander, you'll just have to trust me when I say that there is more at stake here than you can possibly imagine.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  As I was saying we could also use a neutrino scan to check for them as well.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Make the cloak a priority.  We may need it soon.

Host Qu`HoS says:
::Pushes himself over to the Executive Officer, and starts feeling around in his shirt pocket.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Tends an ear as to what the Captain is saying thinking that it may be what she suspected, that weird Omega sign that appeared on her tricorder did mean something important... but what?::

Host Qu`HoS says:
XO:  Where's the transmitter?

ACTION: The toxic levels in main engineering begin to become dangerous, an alarm starts sounding loudly in the room.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says: 
FCO:  Can you do it while we are cloaked?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Gets a report on a coolant leak.::  All:  Evacuate engineering!  All non-essential personnel get out!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Qu’HoS:  I gave it to the Captain.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  I should be able to, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Negative Sir, we have a coolant leak down here. I'm evacuating engineering.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Qu'HoS: Can you contact the Huron?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: If you say so, but illegal orders are illegal orders.  In the meantime, I'm going to put the pressure seals; looks like we're getting multiple failures about the ship, going to try and contain them.

Host Qu`HoS says:
XO:  Well that explains why I couldn't track you on the planet's surface.  
CO:  I will attempt, Sir.  ::Pushes himself to a communications console.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Utters a Klingon curse.::  CO:  Sir, we just lost engineering, they are evacuating.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Lost it how?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Get up here and fast, and see what you can do from up here.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
ALL:  Sabotage?

ACTION: the engineers start to come out of main engineering before the hatches seal the room.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  A coolant leak.  I just ordered the Chief Engineering Officer to report here.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Coughs as she makes sure engineering is clear.::

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CSO:  Yep, I suspected as much when it comes to Romulans.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Seal off engineering, vent the atmosphere, then send a team in with EVA suits.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Make sure you can before we try it.  I like to keep us hidden as much as possible.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
FCO:  At least sensors are working... for now.

Host Qu`HoS says:
::Opens a channel to the Huron.::  CO:  I have them on comm, joHwI'.  Channel is open.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Yes, Sir.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, I can do it if the power holds.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Hold there, we are going to vent the room.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes her way towards the door, her eyes stinging as well as her throat from the fumes.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Huron:  Huron, this is Captain Q'tor. Come in.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  If we lose power we not only lose the cloak but the pulse as well.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  As soon as the room is sealed, vent all atmosphere.

Admiral Morgan says:
@COM: chagut CO:  This is Admiral Morgan, Captain.  I've detected some weapons fire in your area on sensors.  Do you need assistance?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Tries to speak.::  *XO*:  Comm......er, fumes have reach...crit..

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  Will do.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Maybe a site to site to rescue the Chief Engineering Officer would be a better choice.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Fall back as far as you can, and seal it off.

EO Dutyfix says: 
*CEO*:  Commander if we do not fix the problem soon, one of the reactors may overheat.  I advise to shut it down from the bridge.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Hold Lieutenant.  Give them time to clear out.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Hears the voice of the Admiral and is quite glad to hear it.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Morgan:  Affirmative, Sir.  We are ready to be picked up.  I'm afraid you'll have to come here though as the chagut has suffered some damage.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods at the Executive Officer.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Covers her mouth and reaches the doorway and activates the hatch manually to let herself out.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Report, Commander.  Is all clear?  Waiting on your word to vent it out.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Tries to stay focused on Tactical while Engineering's situation plays out.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Can you tell if it's clear of personnel and sealed?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Makes it outside engineering barely and reseals the door.::  *XO*: Commande...engineering is...er.

ACTION: The hatch opens slowly on its hydraulic hinges.

Admiral Morgan says: 
@COM: chagut CO:  I will move to intercept.  ETA 30 minutes, Captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Repeat.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Looks at the Executive Officer waiting for the “go” to vent Engineering.::

EO Martin says:
XO:  Commander, I've completed the repair.  Initiating gravity now.  ::Taps the controls.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Martin:  Get your butt down to engineering and report back ASAP.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Huron:  Understood, Admiral.  Q'tor out.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Starts to slide down the wall.::  *XO*:  Clear.....we're clear.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Vent now!

EO Martin says:
::Nods and heads back to engineering.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Venting ::does so.::

ACTION: The air in engineering starts clearing....leaving a cloud of toxic smoke just outside the ship.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Starts a computer search, looking for any signs of further possible sabotage.::

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Works on the neutrino scan and the anti proton pulse.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Get in EVA suits and see what can be salvaged.  I'll let you know when it's clear to go back in.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Venting done.  We just left a rather toxic cloud outside the ship.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Moving us away from the cloud best speed, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Leans against the wall trying to catch her breath.::  *XO*:  Aye Sir, will get right on that after I've puked ten or twelve times.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  As soon as the Chief Engineering Officer gives the okay, be ready to give it back atmosphere.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Very good, Lieutenant.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Qu'HoS: How many EVA suits you have available?

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Moves the chagut away from the toxic cloud best possible speed.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Make it quick, it can be cleaned up later.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns and upchucks just as Martin arrives.:: 

EO Martin says:
CEO: You look awful.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Yes, Sir, I will send air back in Engineering.

ACTION:  The warbirds that were headed to Romulan space have now uncloaked knowing they have more time since their sensor readings show the chagut is in distress.  They continue their course to Romulan space.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Qu'HoS:  After we have gone, return to Qo'noS.  Inform Q'von of Q'mek, and have him look into the situation.  No one, however, outside the House of Qaveq is to know about Q'mek.

ACTION:  The warbirds are just outside of weapons range of the chagut.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Work with the crew men and find out if there are any saboteurs aboard.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Martin:  Gee, tell me something I don't know.  Get out the EVA suits and hand them around.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
All:  Holy molly, Captain.  The Romulans made a huge mistake.  They just uncloaked but they are outside of our weapons range.

Host Qu`HoS says:
CO:  Understood, my Lord.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
Out loud:  Ql'vatlh!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  They see we are in trouble; watch them and keep our distance.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  yaj.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Looking in the computer for signs, with a crew this small, it would be hard to hide one.  I think most of this was set before Q’mek went to the surface.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Keeps an eye on sensors while waiting for the Executive Officer's order to send air back in Engineering.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Let’s just hope he was the only one.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  What’s the word down there?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Nothing I can find in the Computer to indicate there's anything else set to happen, but I'm not a Computer expert on Federation ships, much less Klingon.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Takes a suit from Martin as the rest of the group slip into theirs.::  All:  Now, be careful inside.  Find the problem and let's get it fixed fast before this ship joins your forefathers in Sto`Vo`Kor.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Just entering engineering now, Sir.  Stand by.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  This sounds like the Romulan Tal Shiar and its handy work.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  I understand, Commander.  Remind me later, and I'll teach you.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  They know we are unable to pursue them.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  Wish I had the shuttle.  I could follow them at a distance.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Stand by, Lieutenant.  It could be a while.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  They aren't moving fast.  Huron might be able to catch them, but a D'deridex is a tough match-up...

ACTION:  The D'deridex class vessel and the 6 warbirds split off and head in different directions.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Leads the engineers back into engineering each of them looking for the problem.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  No, their arrogance will cause their downfall.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir, they just split off into separate directions.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  I have sensors to check anyway.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Track them.  Are the coming about?

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  Still heading into Romulan space.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Keep track of them.  Starfleet is sending ships.  Even though they'll undoubtedly be too late.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
All:  Anyone find something yet?

ACTION:  A general distress call is received on all open channels by a supply freighter to any ships in the vicinity.  They are under attack by three Romulan Birds of Prey.  The closest vessel is about 45 minutes away.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Looks like they're trying to make a wild moose chase.  Give us more targets than we can possibly chase.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  yaj, maintaining tracking sensors on the warbirds.

EO Dutyfix says:
CEO:  It's a conduit, leaking badly.  I closed the valves, and I am fixing the fracture.  As soon as the polymers harden enough we can reactivate it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Work with the Flight Control Officer and continue tracking.  We don't want to loss them.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir, we are receiving a distress signal from a freighter.

EO Martin says:
::Moves to the fusion reactor area and spots the trouble.::  CEO:  Holly, I found it.  It's a hairline fracture along the entire length.  It looks repairable but it's going to take some time.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  What type of distress call?

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  They say that they have about ten minutes of air left and the integrity of the hull is failing.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Are we able to replace the atmosphere or is going to take time?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  The cause?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Aye, keep tracking as long as they're in range.  If they'll recognize my codes from here, I'll try and patch into the Subspace repeaters and use their eyes as well.

Admiral Morgan says: 
@COM: CO chagut:  I am picking up a distress call from a supply freighter, Captain.  I am moving to intercept.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  They have been attacked by three Romulan warbirds, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Good thinking.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ALL: The Romulans have just declared war.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Can you confirm that with scanners?

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CO:  According to scans, there are about 30 people on the vessel.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  It could be a trick to lore us away.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
Self:  Oh joy, now we are at war with the Romulan Empire.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CO:  From what I can make out, Sir, they have about five casualties and about fifteen injured.  Their doctor was among the casualties.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Huron:  Admiral, I did not want to tell you this over a non-secured channel, but we are dealing with Omega.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Do we have engine to make it?

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  It could be a trick and then again it might not be.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Only impulse, Sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Scanning to confirm damage reports... Affirmative.  They are in pretty bad shape.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  And how long would it take for us?

Admiral Morgan says:
@COM: chagut CO:  What?!  I will be arriving at your location in 5 minutes now.  I want details.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  It's not a trick, don't have to be, they've given any ships that could help us a more pressing problem to deal with.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Unfortunately, at impulse we would not make it, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  The Huron can make them a lot faster.  Then we can offer a lot more help.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Huron:  Understood, Admiral.  I will have a full report as soon as we are back on board the Huron.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Understood.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
Out loud:  Heu'tuegh!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  What’s your status?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  My first and foremost concern is stopping the Romulans.  That freighter will have to hope that there is another ship close enough to render assistance.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Overhears the Captain's mention of Omega to the Admiral, which confirms to her that the sign does mean something.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Did the Admiral just say that he'd be here in five minutes?  How can he do that while helping the freig...Icy Death, what's making people so nuts?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  No disrespect, Captain, but when did not answering a distress call become not important?

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Apparently the urgency of this mission to not fail.

Host Qu`HoS says:
CO:  joHwI', the Huron has just dropped out of warp.  They are hailing us.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Watches as Martin and his assistants work with the polymer.::  *XO*:  Hang on, Sir.  We're waiting on the polymer to harden.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
FCO:  This isn't about a mission.  It can't be,  It's against everything Starfleet stands for.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Qu'HoS:  Inform them that we will be ready for transport in two minutes.  Open ship speakers.

Host Qu`HoS says:
::Does as ordered, and notifies the Huron.::

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
CTO:  I got news for you.  IF this mission is about something that supersedes the Prime Directive, then all our lives are expendable.

Host Qu`HoS says:
::Opens ship speakers.::  CO:  You're on, joHwI'

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*ALL*:  Attention all Starfleet personnel.  Prepare for immediate transport to the Huron.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Not sure what to think about what’s going on.::

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Stands with the rest of the crew.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  You heard the Captain.  Move out and leave the rest to the Klingon crew.  We are leaving.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks over the repair not quite satisfied with the result.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Qu'HoS:  Thank you, Qu'HoSHoD.  Return to Qo'noS and do as I have asked.  Qapla'

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Qu'HoS:  May your ship never run out of foes to defeat.

ACTION: The engineers hear their chief, nod and start leaving the room.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Commander, the repair is only a quick fix. This will need a complete replacement.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Qu’HoS:  It was an honor.

Host Qu`HoS says:
::Does a cross-chest salute and nods at Q'tor.:: CO:  May your enemies run in fear.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  I'm sorry, Commander, but it's not our problem now.  You have your orders.  Move out and prepare for transport.

Host Qu`HoS says:
CTO:  Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
Qu'HoS:  May your death be an honorable and glorious one.  ::Does the Klingon cross chest salute.:: Q'apla!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO/FCO/CTO:  Prepare for transport!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Shakes her head in disgust at not being allowed to complete her job.:: *XO*:  Aye, Sir.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Ready to go, Sir.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Ready as I'm gonna be, Sir.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods at the Executive Officer.::

Host Qu`HoS says:
XO:  The honor was all mine.  ::Growls slightly.::

EO Dutyfix says:
::Looks at the Chief Engineering Officer waiting for an order.::  CEO:  If they are lucky, it will hold long enough.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Qu'HoS:  Qapla'  ::With the cross salute.::

Host Qu`HoS says:
XO:  Qapla'  ::Does a cross chest salute.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Qu'HoS:  bIjaH batlh [Go with Honor]  ::Returns the salute.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Everyone is ready, Captain.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Huron:  Q'tor to Huron.  We are ready for transport.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reaches down and locks the safeties on the disruptors, waiting for the Transport.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Nods to Engineering Officer Dutyfix.::  EO Dutyfix:  Well not much we can do now. 
Martin/EO:  Prepare to beam out.

ACTION:  The transporters grab onto the crew and transport them to the Huron's transporter room where they are met by one very eager Admiral Morgan.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Materializes on the Huron.::  CO:  If I may have a word in private, Sir.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Materializes in Transporter Room 1.::

ACTION:  After all the chagut’s crew are aboard and safe, the chagut limps off to Qo’noS.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Materializes in the transporter room and flies out headed for the turbo lift.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Immediately heads to the Admiral.::  XO:  Commander, ignore the Romulan ships that attacked the freighters.  Lay in a pursuit course for the other group, maximum warp.  All weapons charged and ready.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Arrives on the Huron mumbling under her breath.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*:  Hope you have the Bridge.  We've got a Romulan fleet to deal with.  Current locations available from Comm Net file 10003-1070630.  If we're not already there, get us to Yellow.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Getting aggravated from being ignored.::  CO:  Yes, Captain.  ::Heads to the nearest turbolift.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Follows the Executive Officer inside the turbolift.::

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Tries to keep her mouth from uttering any more curses as she steps from the lift onto the bridge and tosses the duty helm from her chair and immediately lays in a pursuit course.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Sir, do you know what is going on?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO:  I need you in engineering, Commander.  I don't know what we are facing yet, but be ready.

Host Admiral_Morgan says:
CO:  Welcome back, Captain.  You can give me a report on the way to the bridge.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Heads for her own engineering department with Martin.::  Martin:  Never trust a Klingon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  No, I don't, but we must trust the Captain.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Heading there now, Sir.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  I've already had to take some actions that my crew are... uncomfortable with.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Makes for the Bridge, pulling holsters off legs while waiting for the TurboLift.:: XO: Sorry if I jumped the gun, Sir, but I told Angeltra to take us to Yellow, although with the way things are going I'd guess we're already there.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  It seems to be involved with that Omega sign that showed up on my tricorder. The Captain mentioned Omega in a comm to the Admiral.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Make that red alert.

EO Martin says:
::Grins and nods in agreement.::

ACTION:  The Huron's scanners can detect that the freighter has exploded, and the warbirds have moved off toward Romulan space.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  I heard and have no idea what it means.  I'll try to talk to him as soon as I can.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods.::  *Angeltra*:  Make it Red Alert.  Call all Security to full alert, and get everyone geared up.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Enters two pursuit courses and lays them in.::

Host Admiral_Morgan says:
CO:  They are on a need to know basis, Captain.  You know what we must do, regardless of the cost.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  I'm sure that before this is over they will be ready to mutiny.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::The turbolift stops and he walks out onto the bridge.::

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Sir, pursuit course laid in.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Steps off the turbolift and heads to her station.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Scanning the area...

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Pursue course, Lieutenant, maximum warp.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO: I detect that a freighter exploded. The warbirds are moving toward Romulan space.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  I am well aware, Admiral.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Exits turbolift and moves to relieve Angeltra, handing him the Disruptors.::  Angeltra:  Do me a favor and grab me a uniform when you get a second.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Understood, Sir.  Already laid in.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Not the ones that attacked the freighter.  The other group.

Host Admiral_Morgan says:
CO:  Then let's get down to business.  May I use your ready room to notify Starfleet Intelligence?

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
XO:  Yes, Sir.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  Omega was indeed detected in the labs, but the Romulans had already taken everything, along with the scientists, it would seem.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  Are they meeting up with the other group?

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Checking.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Moves the Huron to the course of the other group of ships and follows them at max warp.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Be ready with weapons, Commander.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Whispered.::  Angeltra:  And tell the pups to make the Brig ready and secure.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  Of course, Admiral.  I have already informed them of the situation, but no doubt they will want continual updates.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Weapons powering up as we speak.  We’ll be ready before we hit warp.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  Those warbirds are part of the group that split off, Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Get us extra power to weapons and shields, Commander.  We are going to need them.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Very good.

Host Admiral_Morgan says:
ADM:  Perhaps they can send some back-up.  It sounds like we're going to need it.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  But are they meeting back up?  We need to know how many and what we are dealing with.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  I have no doubts that they already have.  But I also have no doubts that whatever back up they send will arrive too late.  It is the nature of the universe.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: You have that already, Commander.

FCO_LtJg_Bishara says:
::Determined to catch the Romulan ships.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Finally gets a moment to get out of the Klingon EVA suit.::  Self:  I never knew Klingons used these things.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO:  No.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO:  How many in front of us then?  And relay the info to the Chief Tactical Officer.
