Mission Prologue:  

Last time on the USS Huron …

The Huron tracked a Federation signal to a planet known as Xanadoom.  They had hopes of locating the missing Omega, but on their way to Xanadoom, they lost warp.  Sensors confirmed they were picking up the Omega molecule on scans.

But what caused them to drop out of warp?  The limited textbook data that was available on Omega seemed to indicate that the destabilization and explosion of Omega would cause a disruption in subspace.  But there had been no explosion.

The Huron's scans revealed that the Omega molecule appeared to be inter-atomic bonding with another molecule in the system.  The newer molecule contained high explosive properties and was very unstable.  Whose bright idea was this to attach Omega, which is already unstable, to another highly unstable and explosive molecule?

The explosive nature of the newer molecule was confirmed by the Chief Tactical Officer initiating a limited level phaser burst to search for cloaked vessels.  Good thing it was only a limited level phaser burst, or the crew may have been knocked into another planetary zip code.

Will the Huron head toward Xanadoom to destroy Omega?  What will her Captain do?  In order to reach Xanadoom, they must first get to her, and there are a lot of moons to go around.  But is there anything hiding in there?

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

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Entering Main Engineering and walking towards the Chief Engineering Officer.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Working with the weapons techs, converting 30 torpedoes into Tachyon receptors to set up a Tachyon net.::

INFORMATION:  Xanadoom is not in a high traffic area due to the amount of moons and maneuvering that would be needed to pass through, and there appears to be few vessels in the area.  There are over 850 moons in Xanadoom's system.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Scratching her head as she reads the padd in front of her.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: Reporting for duty per the Captain’s orders, Commander. I'm glad to be back on the job!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  ETA until we're within weapons range?

ACTION:  An image of the newer molecule appears from the scans taken by Huron.  A picture is displayed on the science console that shows  the newer molecule as a crystalline, jewel-like sphere, spinning and pulsating slowly.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Just entering engineering seeing the Chief Science Officer and Chief Engineering Officer.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Techs:  We need these ready to go as quickly as possible.  Once we suspect cloaks being around us, it'll be too late launch.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CSO/CEO:  What’s your status here, we got to get those warp engines back online.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Standing on the bridge observing the crew.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
XO: Sir, I just came back to duty.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks up at the Chief Science Officer and nods.::  CSO:  Happy to have the assistance, Lieutenant. Take a look at this report. ::Hands her the padd.::

ACTION:  The molecule is positively charged, and there appears to be a lot of proton exchange between the molecules.  There is a constant influx of energy.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Techs: I'm headed to the Bridge to plot our deployment.  Let me know when they're ready to launch.  ::Stands up and heads for the Bridge.::

Duty SO says: 
CO: Sir, you may want to come check my station as an image of a molecule just appeared. It seems to be a jewel-like sphere.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  Commander, they're offline, and for now they'll stay that way until we can figure this out.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Takes the padd the Chief Engineering Officer is offering her.:: CEO: Thanks, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO:  Any way I can help Commander?  That’s our main priority at the moment.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Works on the ETA based on the many moons that she has to go around.::

Adm_Morgan says:
::Walks over to the Executive Officer’s chair and takes a seat.::

ACTION:  A video-comm message is being bounced off several of Xanadoom's moons.  It is difficult to determine its origin, and it is fuzzy.  The message does not appear to originate from Xanadoom.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO:  Based on what I have to maneuver through I would say around 15 minutes give or take a few.

Duty SO says: 
CO: I notice that the molecules closer to Xanadoom are more stable. Probably due to the low temperature of the planet. ::Checks sensors.:: Mmm... I'm picking up large quantities of boronite ore on the planet.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO:  We can handle it, Commander. ::Gives him the "get out of my engineering " look but keeps smiling.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Steps onto the Bridge, nodding to Angeltra to stay at the primary station.  Moves to the secondary station and starts plotting location for the sensor net.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  What's the plan, Commander?  Since I'm not really up-to-date on the mission, I'll follow your lead.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO:  I understand.  I'll be on the bridge.  Keep me posted of progress.  ::Turns and walks out heading for the nearest turbolift thinking the Chief Engineering Officer is a testy little thing.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Get us there as quickly as you can in one piece.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Begins to chart a way through the many moons of Xanadoom.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO: Already working on it, Captain.

OPS says:
CO:  I'm picking up a video message that is being bounced off the moons, Captain.  I think I can get it cleared up.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO:  Well as you can see there appears to be an imbalance in the nacelles, but I can't figure out why.  We need both nacelles putting out equal energy signatures.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Drums his fingers on the arm of the chair.::

ACTION:  The message is able to be secured, but it is fuzzy.  It can be cleaned up, and it appears to be a message for Captain Q'tor.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  And what have you tried so far, so I don't waste our precious time trying something that didn't work?

OPS says:
CO:  It appears to be for you, Captain.  I can't determine the origins of it though.  It's being bounced around.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Captain, I've got the weapons techs setting up a Splurge load of torpedoes to act as Tachyon receptors.  I'm hoping it'll let us set up a solo Tachyon net, although no guarantees on its span.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Let’s see it.

OPS says:
::Places the message on viewscreen.::

ACTION:  A Romulan Tal Shiar appears onscreen.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Walks out the turbolift into the bridge seeing Admiral Morgan in his chair so he stands on the other side on the Captain.::

ACTION:  Sensors indicate the message is being bounced around from over 10,000 ghost satellites all over the moons.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Begins to growl as he sees the Romulan.::

OPS says:
CO:  I can pinpoint where the message is coming from, but you have to keep him talking, Captain.

D’Nal Hdaen says:
@COM: Huron CO:  Captain Q'tor ::pauses:: or should I say Q'bel.  I have something to show you that you might be interested in.  ::Notices the Admiral.::  I'm glad the Admiral is here.  I wouldn't want him to miss this.  I have something that belongs to him.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: See if you can figure out why we have the imbalance. I'm going to get to work on installing a multiphasic shield around the warp core, just in case.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self: Oh no, not again.

OPS says:
::Starts to eliminate the ghost satellites.::

ACTION:  The video angle zooms to another portion of the room where two people are being held.  One is Admiral Morgan's son and the other is his fiancée, Jessica Sommers.  They have a battered appearance.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Stands up.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Aye. ::Walks to a panel and brings up readings on the nacelles.::

D’Nal Hdaen says:
@COM: Huron CO:  Now before you get your shorts  in a knot, Captain, let me make my point perfectly clear.  If you approach Xanadoom, I will kill Danny boy.  ::Pauses.::  And to show you that I mean business … ::Raises his disruptor and aims it at Jessica and vaporizes her.::

ACTION:  The sounds of Danny screaming and crying can be heard in the background as the video angle now changes back to D'Nal Hdaen.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  CAPTAIN...

Adm_Morgan says:
D'Nal: You bastard!  How could you?  Have you no compassion?!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Quietly calls Alpha team to high alert and start preparation for a boarding party.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Runs over to Operations.::

ACTION:  A small explosion rocks the Huron.  The Huron appears to be in a mine field.  The signatures of the mines are masked.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self: This is so not happening.

Weapons Techs says: 
*CTO*:  We've got the first few ready and ooof!

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Out loud: Whoa bringing the ship to all stop, Captain.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Almost falls over but grabs a console.::  All:  What was that?

ACTION:  About ½ of the ghost satellites have been eliminated.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Can you work a little faster....................::Is knocked back.::  *All Hands*:  Red alert!  Chief Tactical Officer to the bridge.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Drops on the floor.::  CEO:  Looks like we hit something!

Adm_Morgan says:
FCO: Lieutenant, as soon as the Operations Officer has the location of the message, lay in a course!

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO:  Something hit us or we ran into them.

ACTION:  The mines are causing minor damage to shields.  Shields are holding at 82%.  Strands of crackling energy streak around the Huron and through the areas where the mines are detonated.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I'm here, Sir, about to start the check for cloaked stuff.  Better late than never.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Calls the bridge.::  *Bridge*:  Someone mind telling us what's going on up there?

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Admiral:  Sir, with all due respect, we need to find out just what in the hell hit us. 

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: All stop!

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
XO: Beat you to it.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Romulan: The only thing you have accomplished with your display is to reaffirm my belief that Romulans are all Honorless p'taH. I harbor no doubts that you will kill the boy regardless of what we do here.

Adm_Morgan says:
FCO: You have your orders!

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Gets up.::  CEO:  I guess we better hurry in fixing the ship then. ::Goes back to working on the nacelles.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Looks at the Admiral then the Captain and then the Executive Officer.::

D’Nal Hdaen says:
COM: Huron CO:  Right about now, I bet you're trying to find me.  I bet you even want to run that Klingon weapon of yours through my heart.  ::Cackles evilly.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Out loud: Some help here, Sirs!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  It seems we are in a mine field. Keep at your task.  We are going to need them.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  You heard the Admiral.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self:  Oh the hell with this.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Angeltra: Ice Breaker mode.  Put all you can to the forward Tractor beams in Repulsor mode.

OPS says:
CO:  Captain, I have almost 3/4 of the ghost satellites eliminated.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO: How’s the shields?

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Using thrusters begins to move slowly around the invisible mines.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: Check the reaction temperature in the warp manifold. That may be the problem.

D’Nal Hdaen says:
@COM: Huron CO:  Want to know why I am doing this, Q'tor?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: That felt like mines.  Adjusts sensors to locate them.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Aye. ::Does so.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says: 
::Nods and puts the Tractor beam into full push mode.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO: Maneuvering through the field now, Sir, but it is going to be hairy.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  On it, Sir.  At least we can set it up for a local search.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Who the heck flew us into a mine field?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Romulan:  Because you have no honor, and are obviously mad on top of it.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Tie your reading to the Flight Control Officer’s console.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Starts launching the Tachyon sweep prepared torpedo casings ahead of us to locate the mines.::

D’Nal Hdaen says:
@COM: Huron CO:  No, I'm doing this for Romulus.  Those stupid fools said I couldn't do it!  But I'll show them!

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self: This is nuts.  Flying through a mine field.

ACTION:  ¾ of the ghost satellites have now been eliminated.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: It doesn't seem to be the source of the problem.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Continues to maneuver through the mines.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye, Sir, patching it in now.  Also have Angeltra setting up the Tractor to work like an ice breaker.

OPS says:
CO:  Almost got it, Captain!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Romulan:  Your actions threaten not only the Federation but the Romulan Empire as well.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Begins to pace and mumbling incoherently.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Never mind that, Commander.  Just get those engines online.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO:  Well something is causing the imbalance.  ::Shakes her fist at the console.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Could be something in the air creating the reaction...

Adm_Morgan says:
OPS:  Work faster!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
COM: Romulan:  The energy you are trying to harness is too unstable.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Hope it works for all our sakes.

D’Nal Hdaen says:
@COM: Huron CO:  When this is all over, I will hold the most powerful weapon you can ever imagine.  It's almost finished you know.  Now I have to go, my dear Captain.  ::Rubs his hands together.::  I have a bomb to build.  Oh .. did I tell you my first testing site will be Qo'Nos?   ::Cuts the channel.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Out loud: Forshak!  ::Hands fly over the console correcting the pitch to miss a mine.::

OPS says:
ADM:  I'm trying, Sir!  I just lost the comm from him.  But I've managed to get it down to 10 ghost satellites.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  He must die.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  While I was skimming through Science reports before coming here, I read things about unknown molecules.  Could those be at cause here?  I would have to reread the reports to know more about those, maybe you do?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Runs another analysis of the nacelle's internal systems as she's already set up the shielding to the core.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  How long will it take a photon torpedo to reach the target?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Patches the sensor data to the Flight Control console.::  FCO: I think I can find the mines, but it won't give much leeway.  Best I can do.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Slams his fist down on Operation’s console.::

OPS says:
ADM:  And I'm picking up a Class-D moon on the other side of Xanadoom that has subnucleonic reactions occurring in the upper atmosphere.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CTO:  Anything is better than nothing.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Adjusts the pitch again to miss the other mine on the port quarter.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO:  Anything is possible out here Lieutenant. Let's run a scan for the more unusual particles in this sector of space.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Alter course, Captain?  Sounds like our best bet.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Aye. ::Runs a scan for particles and molecules in the sector.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Depends on where the source is.  Give me a specific target and I'll narrow it down for you, but however long it takes at 300,000 kilo's per second.

OPS says:
ADM:  I am also picking up Romulan life signs on Xanadoom and one terran life sign now.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  My condolences on your son and your fiancé, Admiral.

Adm_Morgan says:
FCO:  Set a course for those coordinates!

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Rolls eyes.::  Admiral:  Do you want me to go through the field or around the mines first?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  That moon would seem the most likely candidate.

Adm_Morgan says:
CO: You'll take this ship to that planet, Captain.  That's an order.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Doing her best to miss the mines and accommodate the Admiral.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  Admiral we are already on our way.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: The molecule that showed up in the labs is present in the sector and there is another one. They seem to be interacting together. Their combination could be the cause?

Adm_Morgan says:
CO:  Very good, Captain. Have your Chief Tactical Officer assemble a rescue team.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks surprised.::  CSO:  What molecule?  Sheesh, no one tells me anything anymore.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
ADM: Sir, our first task should be to stop the bomb they are making.

OPS says:
CO/ADM:  Incidentally, that moon is heavily shielded, and there are high levels of radiation on the surface.  And there are two Davlosian life signs.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: I recall picking up info about a molecule when in the labs. And if you look at these scans, there are two molecules at work here. They could be messing with the warp bubble.

Adm_Morgan says:
XO: Our first priority is the rescue of our people, Commander!

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  Sir! I'm not sure that a rescue team is a tactically feasible option at this time.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Continues to maneuver around the mines on the way to the moon.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO:  Belay that order, Commander.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self: You know, I wish these two would get their directions and orders correct.  Some one is going to make a mistake and get us killed.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: Then we need to purge the systems as soon as possible. Will there be any effect on the nacelles if we do?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Yes, Sir  ::Smiling.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM: Admiral, my ready room?

Adm_Morgan says:
CO: I am giving you an order, Captain. Rescue our people!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Maintain course on the Captain's last order.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
XO: Yes, Sir, and with pleasure too.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Storms into the Captain's Ready Room.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Team is ready if deemed necessary.  Torpedo will take about a minute at this range, but will have to be modified a touch to make the range.  ::Notifies the Techs to load a Torpedo with extra propellant.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: I don't think it'll affect the nacelles.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Stand down and continue to monitor those mines.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Flies the Huron gingerly around the mines.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Sir, no standing down.  Prepping for the alternate actions won't distract from the search.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO:  Were you able to identify that molecule?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  Admiral, I have already caused the deaths of an unknown number of Federation citizens in my attempts to accomplish this mission.  I understand it is your son, but there is a great deal more at stake here than an Admiral's son.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: To be honest, the landing team is already preparing, was before the Admiral asked for it.

Adm_Morgan says:
CO: I gave you an order.  Execute it, or I will relieve you of Command!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Understood.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
All: Just so we are clear on whose orders we are following, we obey the Captain until otherwise told to do so.  This is his ship, not the Admiral’s.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  About the mines, how brave are you feeling right now?  I might have a quicker way, but it might end badly; as an understatement.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  You yourself let a Federation vessel be destroyed in trying to accomplish this mission.  I will NOT dishonor those that have already died because your judgment has been clouded!  Sir!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Explain, Commander.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self: Wow I can sense some hostility here.  Oh boy.

Adm_Morgan says:
::Narrows his eyes at the Captain, then storms out of the Ready Room.::

Adm_Morgan says:
::Looks at the crew.:: All: Cowards!  All of you!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Her fingers fly over the engineering controls as she prepares to purge both nacelles.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Balls his fist at the out-cry from the Admiral.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Have a guard put on the Admiral, Commander.  Don't let him do anything rash.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  When we first entered the system, I tried to use the Phasers to act like a stick poking in shadows to look for a rodent.  I could try it again, this time looking to do what happened by mistake last time.  Space go boom, mines go with 'em.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods to the Captain and puts Beta teams leader on Admiral Honor Guard.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: I have never seen either. One is the same I noticed in the labs and the other is similar to hydrogen.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  What would our chances be of the same thing happening again?

Adm_Morgan says:
::Steps into the turbolift and waits for the doors to close before ordering it to the Shuttlebay.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Pretty good, what the odds are of the shields holding are?  That's a bit more shaky.

OPS says:
CO:  Captain, I have been able to pinpoint the location of the Romulan on Xanadoom.  I'm sending those coordinates to the Flight Control Officer's console.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks at the Chief Science Officer.::  CSO:  Well that shouldn't cause the warp field to collapse on it's own. There must be something else here that we're missing.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Scans reveal that the hydrogen-like molecule is quite abundant on Xanadoom. I wonder if things will settle themselves once we move out of the sector...

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Waits for the coordinates.::

Beta Team Leader says: 
::Rushes through the corridor, trying to reach the Admiral's location.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Moving a little faster as the mines have thinned out.::

Adm_Morgan says:
::Enters the Shuttlebay and seals the door, then steps into a Type 10 Shuttle.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS: majqa'
CTO: I want detailed scans of that area.  If there is any way to save the boy we will take it.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Let’s let the Captain decide that one.  It's a little risky.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO:  Well let's hope so. I'm ready to purge the system. Hang on.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: A little?  ::Grins.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods at the Chief Engineering Officer.::

OPS says:
CO:  Sir, I'm detecting someone just entered shuttlebay and sealed the door.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Captain, the Chief Tactical Officer has a option.  I'll let him explain.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye sir, I'll start prepping that as plan B.  ::Starts active scans of the source of the Transmission.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO:  Who the hell is in the shuttle bay?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  The Admiral!  Lock out all shuttle bay controls.

OPS says:
CO:  I can't, Sir.  He's overridden me!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Shuttlebay?    
CTO:  Have a team there NOW?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Let's hear that option, Commander.

Beta Team Leader says:
::Reaches the Shuttle Bay door as it's sealed.::  *CTO*: Sir, I wasn't able to catch him.  He's locked the Bay doors.

Adm_Morgan says:
Computer:  Disable Shields. Authorization Alpha, Gamma, 257, Admiral Morgan.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Hands fly over her control board trying to override the commands.::

OPS says:
CO:  He's using his command codes to override our systems.

ACTION:  Shields on Huron go down.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Bridge*: This is Engineering.  We are preparing to purge the nacelles of an unknown molecule. There may be a reaction when we do, so stand by.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO:  We lost shields.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Then tractor him back in!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Thinking we might use the Phasers, and the reac...oh crud.  Shields just dropped!

Adm_Morgan says:
::Takes the Shuttle out of the bay.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Get a lock on him with transporters.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  All stop!

OPS says:
CO:  I can't, Sir.  He's disabled tractor beaming.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Brings the Huron to a full stop using the thrusters to help slow the ship down.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Sec*: I need teams at each Shield Generator Station immediately; need a manual override to re-activate the shields!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Beam him out, before he gets his own shields up!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO:  Lieutenant, take the secondary engineering station please and coordinate on my mark.

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Configures the shields to scatter Transporter Sensors.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Wonders if a well placed shot would kill the nacelles.::

OPS says:
::Attempting to get a lock.::  CO:  I can't get a lock on him.  He's scattering the transporter sensors.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Aye.  ::Moves to the 2nd engineering station.::

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Takes the Shuttle to full impulse heading for his son.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Prepare to shoot his engines.   
CO:  Captain, on your order?

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Prepared, but remember that risk we spoke of?  Add in we don't have shields now.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Get us shields, NOW.  I don't care how you do it.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Wonders why the bridge isn't acknowledging her but prepares to execute anyway.::  CSO:  Stand by...

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self: Hey that was my thought.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer:  Restore shields and Tactical systems to full operations, Authorization Thel'Ion 8675309.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Brings the Huron around slowly for a good shot for the Chief Tactical Officer.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods and waits for the Chief Engineering Officer's order.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: In five, four, three, two one.......mark. ::Presses the button.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Presses the button at the same time the Chief Engineering Officer does hers.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CTO: You have your best shot of the night.

ACTION:  Computer restores full operations to shields and tactical.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Target the shuttles engines and fire!

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Maneuvers the Shuttle around a moon.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Attempts to lock Tractor on the Shuttle first.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Moves the Huron slowly to follow and afford a shot.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self:  OH you are not getting away from me that easy, Admiral.

ACTION:  The purge is complete and warp drive appears to be active.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Recall shuttlecraft on my authority, Emergency Override.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Holding fire, recall what happened last time I shot, hoping to find another way, if I can quickly.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: That seems to have done it, well for now. Try running internal sensors on the nacelles again.

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Initiates a site to site transport from the Shuttle to the Planet.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Tries to run internal sensors on the nacelles.::

ACTION:  Just as the Chief Tactical Officer actions the shuttlecraft returning, Admiral Morgan beams to Xanadoom.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO: I got a transport to the surface of Xanadoom.

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Disposes of his comm badge and starts moving towards the compound.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  Admiral or not, he will NOT jeopardize the success of this mission!  Not after everything I've been forced to do!

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Sorry, Sir, didn't have a shot with a clear means of getting him without risking the ship severely.  Teams are ready for pursuit and landing if needed.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: I completely understand, Sir.

@ACTION:  On the surface, the Romulan is unaware of the Admiral's arrival.

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Sets his phaser setting to kill.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  What are your orders, Captain.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  If it's possible to retrieve the Admiral's son, and the Admiral, then do so.  But make no mistake.  The success of this mission is paramount.  EVERYONE, even the Admiral, is expendable!

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Warp is back online, nacelles are okay as well... for now. I just hope that us being so close to the planet won't have molecules come back to haunt us!

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
Self: Now that I totally agree with.  Expendable Admiral's.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  What’s your status with the engines?

Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Taking a deep breath.::  CTO:  Have your team do whatever they can to rescue the boy.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods.::  CO: Understood, but the two should overlap for a bit.  Permission to disembark and beam down?

@ACTION:  A security alarm goes off on Xanadoom indicating a security breach.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Granted.

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Takes cover and starts sneaking around a little better.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Commander, you have warp online.  So I'd appreciate you not shaking us up again for a while. This milkshake is going to need extensive repairs as it is.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns and moves for the turbolift.::  *Alpha Team*: We're going, full CG [combat gear], as soon as I arrive in the Transporter Room.  Be on the pads.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Good job, Commander.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  Stand by all weapons.  If it comes right down to it, we'll destroy the planet.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  We have warp drive back online.

@ACTION:  A Romulan guard spots the Admiral sneaking around the facility and opens up fire on him stunning him.

Adm_Morgan says:
@::Is stunned and slumps over in a heap.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: I think we've solved this one. Let's head back to the bridge and see what the devil's been going on up there. ::Motions to Martin to take over.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  What's next, Commander?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Walks up and takes tactical and has all weapons placed on standby.::  CO:  Weapons standing by.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Nods and follows the Chief Engineering Officer.::

Romulan Guard says: 
@Out loud:  Well, well, well.  Look what the cat dragged in.  I think I just snagged me an Admiral.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Coming up on the planet.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Rides the turbolift, then moves quickly for the Transporter Room.  Grabs his gear and hops on the pad.::  Transport Tech: Beam us down to the Admiral's landing point.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO:  Sir, we are coming up on the planet.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*: Take all precautions, Commander.

ACTION:  The Chief Tactical Officer's team beam to where the Admiral's shuttle was located.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Heads for the turbolift and holds the door for the Lieutenant.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
XO:  Inform engineering that we're likely going to need warp power very quickly.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Thanks ::as she enters the turbolift.::

Romulan Guard says: 
@::Drags the Admiral to a room where Danny is, and where D'Nal Hdaen is.::

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Drops to a crouch, moving forward at the point of a V, heading in the direction we guess the Admiral moved in.::

Host CO_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Establish a geo-synchronous orbit over the target area.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  How long till we be able to go to full warp power?

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
CO:  Already done, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: So, I heard by the grapevine that you were ill?  Feeling better now?  ::Watches the doors close.::

@ACTION:  The Romulan guard turns off the security alarm, unaware of the Chief Tactical Officer's beaming.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Smiles as she anticipated his wishes.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Hands fly over the console creating the orbit and several escape vectors at the same time.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: You've had it for the last ten minutes, Commander. ::Wonders how he got to be Executive Officer at times.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: Yes, feeling much better. Sickbay personnel say it was an unknown virus. Luckily they were able to treat it.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: I do not wish the effects of the virus on anyone. It's rather... nasty.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Commander Sparks reports we are ready to go now.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@Bee: Take Smit and Wreath, find the Admiral's family.  The rest of us have another job.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CSO: There seems be a lot of these "unknown" things going around the Huron. Glad you're on the mend though.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Pulls Tricorder and scans for the Omega signature.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO: Unusual ship indeed, but that's why I came back to the Huron.

@ACTION:  The newer molecule appears on the Chief Tactical Officer's scanner, pointing to the back of the facility.

CTO_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
@::Leads the majority of Alpha team for the particle, listening for any guards.::

ACTION:  The Chief Engineering Officer's stomach begins to grumble.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS: Can you maintain transporter lock on the Away Team?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Smiles as the doors to the bridge open.::  CSO:  That may have been a big mistake, Lieutenant. ::Steps out.::

OPS says:
XO:  I have a lock on them now, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  And what of the Admiral?  Anything?

Host CO_Q`tor says:
::Waits for word from the Away Team.::

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
CEO:  Only time will tell I guess. ::As she heads to Science Station 1 and takes over for the Duty Science Officer.::

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Keeps the ship right over the beam down spot.::

OPS says:
XO:  Actually, I have him as well.  Would you like me to beam him here?  I just picked him up on scans now.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  Captain?  We can leave the Chief Tactical Officer to get the boy.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Rubs her stomach as it rumbles.::  Self: I knew I should have had lunch.

CSO_Lt_Hayes says:
::Checks scans of the area.::

OPS says:
CO:  I got a lock on the Admiral, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  What about his son, the only other human down there?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks over the bridge and wonders where Icky is.::

OPS says:
XO:  Yes, Sir, but I can't locate his signature.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  But can you get a lock on his biosigns?

OPS says:
XO:  Sorry, Sir, I can not.

OPS says:
CO/XO:  Am I beaming or not?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO:  I do recommend getting the Admiral out at least.

Host CO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Do it!

OPS says:
CO:  And the Away Team also?

Host CO_Q`tor says:
OPS:  No.

FCO_Ltjg_Bishara says:
::Is ready to fly by the seat of her pants out of there.::

ACTION:  The Operations Officer initiates the beam and the Admiral's Comm badge beams to the bridge.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Picks up the comm badge.::  Out loud:  What the hell is this?
