Mission Prologue:  

Last time on the USS Huron …

While the crew of the USS Huron was supposed to be enjoying shore leave on their new Starbase 42, the adopted daughter of the Chief Engineering and Chief Tactical Officers was abducted.

And it seemed that the new Operations Officer had stumbled upon the missing child and was going to help her, but it appeared the abductor had hoodlums that thought otherwise.

The Flight Control Officer was taken to the infirmary for an illness she had because she ate a bad cheeseburger.  And the Chief Medical Officer was caught up in a brawl for defending his soon-to-be-wife.

The Medical Officer was taken by Station Security to the brig for questioning in regards to the assault incident.  While the Executive Officer attempts to convince the brig guard to release his man, station security tracks down their Captain to inform him of the situations.

Meanwhile, precious time is ticking away on the clock to find the missing child.  And the lack of communication between station security and the Huron crew creates an even bigger issue .. Where is Jessica?  And is she still on the station?

Star Trek, A Call To Duty, is proud to present 
The USS Huron in …

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::On Deck 22, in a brawl with some unsavory types.::

Station Brig Officer says: 
::Notices the very "large" Klingon approaching.::  CO:  May I help you, Captain?

ACTION:  As OPS Riley is brawling with the thugs, Jessica and Brandie slip away.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Brig Officer:  You are holding my doctor.  I wish to see him.

CNS Talora says: 
::Walks through deck 22 and sees a man in a fight.:: Self: Oh dear...

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Station, going deck by deck trying to locate Jessica.::  *Huron Tactical*: I want the mutts here, I need their noses.  And get the light bulbs on the computer issue.  I want to know where that Lift went!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Walks out of the brig and into the security office.::  SEC: Lock down the entire base.  We have a missing child.

Station Brig Officer says: 
CO:  As you wish, Captain.  Come with me, Sir.  ::Takes him to the brig.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Taps COM badge.::  *SB42 Security Station*:  Security, I want to report a possible abduction from Deck 22.

Huron Tactical says: 
@*CTO*: They're on their way, and the Bynars are working on getting access.  We're working on it, recalling crew from leave.  Be patient.

Hopper says: 
Jessica:  Come along with me, little Jessica.  I have your first job all ready for you.

CNS Talora says:
::Rushes up to the man.::  OPS:  Are you okay?  Do you need help?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Hears the COM.::   *OPS*:  Already on it.  Join the Chief Engineering Officer and Chief Tactical Officer in the search.

Station Security Durne says: 
::Nods to the Executive Officer.::  XO:  One minute, Sir.  

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Wanders into an open room.::  All:  Hello?  Anyone here?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Follows the brig officer.::  *CTO*:  Commander Ec'Thel'Ion, this is the Captain.  Contact the Huron.  Get the entire crew onto the station to aide in the search.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Attempts to go after Hopper and girl.::

Jessie says: 
Hopper:  Job?  I'm a kid.  I don't have a job.....what is a job anyway?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Approaches the Doctor's cell.::  CMO:  Explain.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*: Thanks Sir, already have Tactical coming...  ::Pauses as he hears a Transporter signal.::  Scoo and Bee just got to me.  Going to try a bloodhound effect.

Station Security Durne says: 
*OPS*:  I'll get a security team right up there, Ensign.  Sit tight.  Station is entering lock-down.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  I'm with station security.  I will get this station locked down.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Scoo:  Get to the Lift.  Start sniffing at the levels until you can find Jessica.  Bee, you're with me.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Gets no response but looks around the room anyway without luck.::

Station Security Durne says: 
XO:  I need a picture of the missing child.  Do you have one?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Chasing the bad guys.::  Talora:  What?  Yeah, I'm fine.  In a hurry, excuse me.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Softly.::  Out loud:  William?  Where are you?  ::Rolls and tries to sit up.::

ACTION:  Starbase 42 goes into lockdown.  No vessels leave; no one enters; no transports in or out allowed.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Make sure no ships leave and no transporters are being used.

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
::Opens one eye, sees who it is and stands up explaining.:: Q'tor: Putting this simply, I defended my wife-to-be who is with child. I defended her honor, if you will.

ACTION:  A security team is called to Deck 22.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CMO:  What happened?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Pauses and calls Icky.:: *CTO*: Icky, have you found her yet?

CNS Talora says:
::Chases after him.::  OPS: You might've missed the memo, but I'm the CNS on board the Huron. Let me help. I'm Talora. ::Walks fast with him.::

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Not yet.  The mutts have joined the search though, and the Huron's turning its full attention to the task.  She'll be fine, really.

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
::Sighs.:: Q'tor: This p'tak on the promenade harassed T'Lar, then assaulted her. I did the first thing to my head, to stop them at all costs, so I punched them in the face.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO/CTO*:  Did you see who took her?  Was it human or any other species?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora:  Pleased to meet you.  They are just up ahead.  ::Keeps moving fast through the crowd, now on Deck 13.::

CNS Talora says:
::Nods and follows the Operations Officer.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Nods in understanding.::  Brig Officer:  Was the one responsible for assaulting my officer arrested also?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*:  I haven't a clue where to look next, but I'm not giving up. Let me know what's happening when you can.

Hopper says:
Jessie:  Don't look at is much as a job as a reward if you do what you're told.  There's this nice lady on deck 13.  She has a puppy.  You did say you wanted to see the animals, didn't you?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Commander, I saw a woman talking to her and she looked human but I can't be sure.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora:  So, I was right?  That girl belongs on the Huron, right?  ::Sees Hopper and Jessie just ahead.::

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*:  Human female, late teens to early 20's at most.  Around 1.7 meters, auburn hair, couldn't see the eyes too well.

Station Brig Officer says: 
CO:  No, Sir.  There was no assault.  She had an accident and this young man punched her.  There was no evidence of any other assault.

Medic says: 
::Walks around the corner to where T'Lar lies.::  T'Lar:  How are you feeling?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Scan the station, only humans, look for 2 that looks like they are running or not in a normal area.  Do it NOW.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Thank you, do not worry.  We will find her.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Stares.::  Medic:  Where is Talora?  Where is William?

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
::Suddenly gets furious.::  Brig Security:  Do you not have camera's in this place?  Find the recording of the incident. There's your evidence.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Bee:  Can you smell her, or should we move on to the next level?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*ALL Huron Personnel*:  If you find or see anything about Jessie, contact me at once.

Jessie says:
Hopper:  I like puppies.  ::Grins broadly.::

Station Security Durne says: 
XO:  Sir, do you have any idea how long it will take to scan the station looking for humans?  Three-quarters of the station are humans.  I need a picture of the little girl.  Get me one.  We have video consoles that can display her picture.  We will use the video feed and the people on the station to help search for her.

CNS Talora says:
::Nods to Ben.:: OPS: Yes, that's her.  Let’s move quickly. We don't want to lose them.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Do you have by chance a picture of her on you?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Brig Officer:  If my Chief Medical Officer says that someone assaulted Lieutenant Bishara, then she was assaulted.  Or are you in the habit of taking one side of a story over another?  ::Doesn't wait for an answer.:: You will release my officer.  He is needed elsewhere.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Moves up to the next level, hoping Scoo's having more luck.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Wiping more blood off his face, from his throbbing nose.:: Talora: I'll go for the big guy; you grab the girl and scram, okay?

Medic says:
T'Lar:  William? Oh, you mean the doctor... He's still in the brig last I heard. Talora?  Oh the girl who was with you.  She left a while ago.  Something about helping a child.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Sits up and gets very dizzy and upchucks fluid.::

Station Brig Officer says: 
CO:  As you wish, Captain.  However, do not leave the station until we get this resolved.  I will release him into your custody.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Commander, I believe there is one in my quarters.  Icky, now where?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  Child?  Jessica!!!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  Have someone on the ship get a picture of Jessica and transmit to station security.

CNS Talora says:
OPS:  Hold up a second. ::Reaches up and absorbs the pain and injury from his bleeding nose, and it stops bleeding.::  OPS:  Alright.  Now we can go.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Brig Officer:  Very well.  CMO:  Come with me.  Commander Sparks' daughter has been abducted.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Out loud: Talon, Brandie, Jessica, I need to see the Captain.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Thank you, I just commed him.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO:  Get it from the database.  Either her medical files or school records have good images for the search.

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
::Eyes open wide.::  Brig SEC:  Get me out of here now.... They need my help and being in this room isn't helping!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looks at Durne.::  Durne:  Well what you waiting for?  Pull the record.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Taps her combadge.::  *CO*:  Sir, I saw Jessica with another person named Brandie when Talon assaulted me.  Find Talon and Brandie and you will get your lead to Jessica.

Medic says:
T'Lar:  Settle down.  Everything will be fine. You need to stay here and rest.  Here.  ::Hands her a pill.:: Take this.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*FCO*:  Understood.

Hopper says:
Jessie:  Well good!  Mrs. Whiffle has a cute little Daschund named Snuffles.  She always wants her doggie walked around this time.  Your job is to take the doggie for a walk, and then tell her that Snuffles slipped his leash.  She will go help you find him then.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora: I guess we lost them; don't know how, but we did.  ::Please stop, that hurts.  Is quite pissed off.::

Station Security Durne says: 
::Pulls the Huron's files and accesses the picture of Jessica.::  XO:  This her?

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*:  This is Q'tor.  What is your location?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne: Yes, that’s her.  Get it out.  Can you scan for her bio reading?

Station Brig Officer says: 
::Releases the Chief Medical Officer..::  CMO:  You are free to go .. for now.

ACTION:  A Jessica Alert is sounded.  Jessica's picture goes up on video consoles all over the station.

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
::Rushes off without a word to anyone to look for Jessica.::

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*:  On deck 15, working my way up, having Bee put his nose into the search.

Station Security Durne says: 
XO:  That may take a little more time than we have.  I think the video feed is the best way to go for now.  But I will attempt the scan anyway.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora: Come on, the kid said she was looking for animals, maybe we'll get lucky.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Medic:  Pill?  Are you daft man?  I am needed to help in the search...::Takes the pill and downs it.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Starts from the point were she was taken.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Starts to walk off, very discouraged.::

Station Security Durne says: 
XO:  We have security all over this station.  We will concentrate efforts there, but I don't want to call off the search on other levels because most likely she is no longer at the place where she was abducted.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Medic: Now can I get out of here?

Medic says:
T'Lar: You will not leave here, miss.  You’re not in a well enough condition. I will strap you down to this biobed if you do not calm down.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*CTO*:  The doctor and I are on our way.  Are you having any luck yet?  ::Notices all of the station vid screens displaying Jessica's picture.:: The entire station is on the lookout for her, so it shouldn't be long now.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: The Turbolift Scoo's searching the path of, if we can find where it went when it left the Commercial section 40 minutes ago, if we know where it went, we can figure out where to concentrate our search.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CO*: No luck yet, but pressing on.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  Good, I'll get right on it.

CNS Talora says:
::Rolls her eyes and muttering something about "Drama queen" and follows Ben.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Where did that Turbolift go?  Search it now and fast.  Time is of the essence.

Jessie says:
Hopper: I've never walked a doggie before,

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Medic: You don't get it, do you. I am full Betazoid, and I can help find her.

Station Security Durne says: 
::Searches the record.::  XO:  That is impossible to tell right now, Commander.  That Turbolift has been used 58 times since the child abduction was reported.  I can estimate it was either Deck 28, Deck 22, Deck 13, or Deck 5.

Medic says:
T'Lar:  As I JUST said, No. You will not leave the sickbay. Your forcing yourself wouldn't help the cause at all. ::Notices the screens flashing a girl’s picture.:: 

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Moves down to another deck to continue the search.::

Medic says:
Nurses/Medics: All of you. Go and help the search. 

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  You got to be kidding.  You are so pointless.  ::Punches the console.::  Have teams sent to each deck.

Medic says:
::Points to one nurse.:: Nurse: You stay here and take care of her. She's not to leave. ::Rushes off.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  Oh my heavens, I know where she is.  I can feel her.  ::Tears form and fall.::

Hopper says:
Jessie:  It is so much fun, little one.  ::Notices the video screen showing the picture of the little girl.::  You know what?  You wait right here, until I come back.  I have to go get the doggie leash, okay?

Jessie says: 
Hopper:  I don't think I want to walk a doggie now.  My mommy and daddy will be looking for me.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  We have it narrowed down to deck, 28, 22 13, and 5.  Teams are being sent as we speak.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Arrives on deck 15 with the Doc and begins looking for his Chief Tactical Officer.::

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*:  Okay, I'm going to 22 then.  Passed 13 and 5 already, so hoping they didn't redirect.

Hopper says:
Jessie:  Then I'll tell you what.  I'll go back and get the doggie leash and contact them myself.  Okay?  So don't go anywhere so that way we know where you are.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Runs after Talora.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*XO*:  Look on deck 22.  I sense her presence.  Please hurry.

Jessie says:
Hopper: Okay, I'll stay here and wait until you come back.

ACTION:  Hopper ditches Jessica in a broom closet on Deck 13.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  Lieutenant Bishara seems to think she is on Deck 22.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Have teams concentrate on that deck.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*XO*:  She is on deck 22.  Look carefully.  She is there.  Frightened, but there.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Commander... any word?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*FCO*:  Understood, Security has been informed, as well as EC.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Closes her eyes and tunes in on Jessica's emotions.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Go to deck 22.  She is there.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Stops to check a station directory for places animals might be.::

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Exec reported the lift they took probably went to 28, 22, 13 and 5.  Moving to 22 next, see if the snout can find the trail.

Station Security Durne says: 
XO:  I already have a team on that deck.  Chances are, she is no longer there.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*:  Icky, any word yet?  I'm moving to deck 22 now.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Then let’s go.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  Oh I wish I could contact her telepathically.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CMO: Keep your eyes open.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Scan that deck, humans only without comm badges; 2 that will be together.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*:  I'll catch up with you there.  ::Moves for the Turbolift, almost knocking Bee over when I grab his arm.::

Jessie says:
::Sits on the floor and begins to sing.::

Hopper says:
::Turns the lock on the outside of the broom closet leaving Jessie locked in there, and runs off.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  Keep singing, Jessie.  Keep singing.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*ALL Huron Personal*:  Move to deck 22.  Jessie is there.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sees Hopper running away on deck 13 and charges at him full throttle.::

ACTION:  Hopper enters a Turbolift before OPS Riley can get to him, and the doors close behind him.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Pulls up the mental picture.:: Self:  Oh my god.  She is not there.  She is in a broom closet.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Takes the lift with Bee, Captain and Chief Medical Officer, headed to 22.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self:  Damn!

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Sits up and attempts to stand up.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Walks back to where he first saw Hopper running.::

Nurse says: 
::Hearing everything she's saying.::  *CO Q'tor*: Your Flight Control Officer seems to think that Jessica is in a broom closet.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Questions personnel as they pass her again without luck.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Hears little singing.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Out loud: Wrong deck, wrong deck,...13...... ::nearly falls.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Nurse*:  Understood.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Tracks the voice to a utility closet.::  Talora: Over here!

CNS Talora says:
::Catches up with Ben.:: OPS: What's going on now?  I'm lost. ::Exasperated look.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Opens the closet door.::

Nurse says:
T'Lar: It’s okay. Relax. Try and rest.  Things will be just fine.

ACTION:  As OPS Riley opens the door, a little girl is sitting on the floor playing with a mop and singing.

Bee says: 
::Exits the Turbolift, catching the scent.  Moves a bit on the deck down the hall, then back to the lifts.:: CTO: She was 'ere, but left.  I can't tell how long ago, too many scents.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora: Is that who we are looking for?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Jessie:  Nice singing, kid.  And, I'm very glad to see you again.

Jessie says:
OPS:  Oh hi.  Are you Mr. Hopper's friend?  ::Smiles and sings again.::

CNS Talora says:
Jessica:  JESSICA!  ::Runs and gives her a huge hug.:: You remember me, right? .. from the Huron?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Steps aside letting Talora handle the reunion stuff.::

CNS Talora says:
*CO*: The new Operations Officer found her, Sir.  All is well.

Jessie says:
::Looks at the woman strangely.:: Talora:  Kind of.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Falls back onto the bio bed relieved.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Talora*:  What is your location?

Jessie says:
Talora:  Can you stop squeezing me.  I can't breath.

CNS Talora says:
*CO*:  Deck 13.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  Is there anything, EC?

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Overhears the Captain's comm go off, stopping a curse just short of the 2nd letter.::

CNS Talora says:
Jessie:  Oh my goodness!  I'm sorry, Jessie. ::Stops hugging her.:: Come on, your mum and dad are VERY worried about you.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Gets out of the way knowing there will soon be a mass of concerned crew and two crazy parents showing up any minute.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Begins to cry.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  Commander, Counselor Talora has found the child.  Lock onto Commanders Ec'Thel'Ion and Sparks, beam them directly to Talora's location on deck 13.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Self:  I tried so hard to find you, Jessie; and I did, but I couldn't find you myself.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*:  Just heard a report they may have found her.  Headed there now.

Nurse says:
::Pats T'Lar on the head.:: T'Lar: Shh...it’s okay.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  They found her.  This part's over at least.

Jessie says:
Talora:  Why are they worried?  Brandi said they wouldn't.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Do it now.  Lock and transport.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Wipes more blood on his sleeve as it started again when he chased Hopper to the Turbolift.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Talora*:  Counselor, stay where you are.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Softly.::  Nurse:  I knew where she was, but I couldn't go and find her.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO/CTO*:  Prepare to transport to her location.

CNS Talora says:
::Gives a light smile.::  Jessie:  Now who's Brandie?  I've never heard of her before.

Station Security Durne says: 
::Nods to the Executive Officer, and locks onto the Chief Tactical Officer and Chief Engineering Officer's comm badges and initiates the transport to Jessie's location.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Runs into Icky's arms.:: CTO: Thank goodness.  Is she okay?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Looks at Talora and the girl, and smiles at the sight.::

ACTION:  As the Chief Engineering Officer and Chief Tactical Officer embrace, they are beamed to Jessica's location.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Durne:  Keep the station under lockdown.  Have whoever took her found.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Finds a place to sit, out of the way.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CMO:  We'll take the long way.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Haven't heard, but no news is good news.  We'll...::pauses as he dematerializes.::...be there soon.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Puts her hands on her own tummy knowing that she has a child of her own growing within her.::

Jessie says:
Talora:  Brandie is my new friend, but she went somewhere.

CNS Talora says:
::Looks up at Ben, and just gives him a huge smile and a wink.:: Jessie:  Well, it doesn't matter.  They'll be here soon.  You gave us all a fright!

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  The station will continue to stay under lockdown until the kidnapper is found.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*OPS*:  You found her.  I am happy and proud it was you.  I wanted to do it, but couldn't myself.  I did try... ::sobs.::

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
CO:  I take it she was found?  Good.  Let’s go...Talora can handle the situation, I'm sure.

Jessie says:
Talora:  Why are you frightened?  Did you see a Klingon?  They always frighten me.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*FCO*:  Huh?  Oh okay.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  Very well.  I'm sure Commander Ec'Thel'Ion can get a description of the kidnappers from the child.

CNS Talora says:
Jessie:  Yes, Klingons do scare me a lot.  But the thought of losing you is much more dreadful.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks around.::  CTO:  Where is she Icky?

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  I know this is sudden, but can you bring Jessie to the security office so we can get a description and maybe a name so we can find who did this?

CNS Talora says:
::Waves to Chief Engineering Officer and Chief Tactical Officer.:: CEO/CTO: Over here! She's safe.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Looks around and sees them a bit down the hall.::  CEO: There they are.

Jessie says:
Talora:  Gosh, I wasn't lost.  I wanted to see the animals.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CMO:  Now then, you and I have to sort out just who assaulted who and got you thrown in the brig.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Spots the group and runs down the corridor.:: Jessie: Jessica!

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*:  No, but I'll get you the information.  Trust me, I'll get it to Security.

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
CO:  I'd like to make sure this situation is settled before my own is fully dealt with.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
*CO*: Captain, both William and I can give you descriptions of the one that assaulted me.  Her name is Talon.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  Very well.  Glad we found her.

CNS Talora says:
::Stands up and lets the worried parents in.::  Jessie:  You stick with your parents, okay? Do that for me?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Grabs the girl and sweeps her into her arms.::  Jessie:  Jessie, oh Jessie, are you alright?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sees the family reunion and thinks is cool.::

Security Johnson says: 
::Walks up to OPS Riley who is standing there watching.::  OPS:  Can I get a report from you as to what happened, Ensign?

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*:  Right now, I'd rather not scare her with too many new places.  From the looks I got as she was getting to the lift, I think I could ID her now.  ::Catches up to Holly and Jessica.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SEC:  Sure.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Feels the joy of the emotions of being reunited from all.::

Jessie says:
CEO:  Course mommy.  Brandie and Hopper were nice. They were taking me to see the animals and a puppy too.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS/ Talora:  Thanks, I owe you both big time.

Security Johnson says: 
::Waits for the Chief Tactical Officer and OPS Riley to get done speaking.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CMO:  Oh we will, but on the way, you can explain to me exactly what happened.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  Anything would help.  I want this person found and fast.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessica:  Was Brandie the lady you met near the stores?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns to see Icky.::  CTO:  I think this young lady needs a daddy hug.  ::Grins.::

CNS Talora says:
::Nods her head.::  CTO:  It’s nothing really.  Ben did all the work.  I just tagged along.  He deserves all the credit.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SEC:  I think I can give you a description of the guy, and a few of his associates on Deck 22.  I got up close and personal with them.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Gets on the Turbolift with the Chief Medical Officer and heads for Deck 13.::

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
CO: Yes, Sir.  ::Starts to explain everything from the beginning.::

Security Johnson says: 
OPS:  You look like you took a beating.  Do you need some medical attention?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SEC:  Probably, but I've been worse.  I'll get it looked at later.

Jessie says:
CTO:  Ahuh.  ::Reaches her arms out.::

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reaches down and gives her a hug.::  Jessica: You can't go off with people like that.  ::Smiles.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Cmdr:  Yes, Sir.  I'm glad everything is okay.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Nurse:  Please, I don't feel good... ::heaves again and more fluid comes from her stomach.::

Security Johnson says: 
OPS:  Is this the man and woman who abducted the child?  ::Shows him a picture of Brandie and Hopper.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Gets off the Turbolift and starts making his way to the re-union.:: CMO:  So just who is this Talon person?

CNS Talora says:
::Walks over to Ben.:: Ben/Sec: I thought I fixed that darn wound.  ::Reaches up and absorbs the wound onto herself. Everyone can see the same wound that WAS on Ben now on Talora before it disappears completely.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SEC: Yup, yes, Ma’am that is them.

Jessie says:
::Hugs Icky tightly.::  CTO: Gee daddy, I guess you did lost me huh?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora:  Hey!  What did you do to me?

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Jessie:  Yes, yes I did.  But only for a moment.

Security Johnson says: 
OPS:  Our security teams have already taken the woman and a few of her associates into custody.  I believe one of the associates was also responsible for an assault on one of your ship's other crew members.  We're just trying to locate the man now ::refers to Hopper.::  He seems to have gone underground.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Upchucks again and now begins to pale.::

Jessie says:
::Looks at Holly and giggles.::  CEO: Daddy losted me, mommy.  Isn't he silly?

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Johnson:  You have any leads?  Professional curiosity and all.  Honest.

CNS Talora says:
OPS:  I'll explain it later.

Nurse says:
::Grabs a bucket for T'Lar.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora:  Well, heck, you could warn a guy, you know.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Jessie:  Well you're safe and sound so we can let daddy off the hook okay?  ::Smiles.::

CNS Talora says:
OPS:  Complaining? I could definitely put something back. Twice as bad too.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Finally approaches the others gathered.:: CEO:  Is she alright?

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Continues to heave and gets even paler than before.::

Jessie says:
CEO:  Daddy's on a hook?  Where is it?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SEC:  Well, good luck. I hope you get him. If there's anything more I can do...

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
::Walks up behind the Captain and watches it all unfold.::

Security Johnson says: 
CTO:  Actually, we do.  We have a few suspects in custody.  There apparently was a child-smuggling ring here on the station.  When your operations officer here got into a brawl with them, security was called and took a few of them into custody when they tried to flee.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Weakly.::  Out loud:  William..... ::heaves again.::

Jessie says:
::Sees the Captain and pulls tighter to her father.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Talora:  It would have been okay.  I'm just not used to all the hocus-pocus, is all.

Security Johnson says: 
::Nods to OPS Riley.::  OPS:  I'm sure that little girl's parents are grateful to you.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS:  You got in a brawl and I didn't know about it?  I really must be losing my touch.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::See's the child cringe at the sight of him and merely looks down at her doing his best to not appear threatening.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Icky, I think Jessie's had enough excitement.

Host XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Leaves the security office and heads down to Deck 13.::

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
::Taps the Captain.::  CO: I believe she has a fear of Klingons, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
::Heaves again and passes out.::

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO:  Yes, definitely reached her quota for the day I think.  Maybe we can see animals in the Holodeck?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SEC:  I like a happy ending.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO:  Sounds like good idea.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Frowns at his doctor.::  CMO:  Thank you for the insight.  ::Seeks out Talora.::

Nurse says:
::Injects a stabilizer into T'Lar.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  You found her?

Security Johnson says: 
OPS:  If it were up to me, Son, I'd give you a medal.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SEC: Thanks, but what would I do with one of those ::Smiles::

CNS Talora says:
::Smiles and shook her head.::  CO:  Ben did, Sir.  He was soo brave.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Cmdr:  Sorry, Sir. I usually don't get into fights much.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion_ says:
OPS:  Me too, but not up to me.  However, that brawl will do for your hand to hand qualifier.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Turns to the Captain and the assembled group.::  All:  I want to thank you all for finding Jessie.  Icky and I so appreciate all your efforts.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Ben?  ::Looks around.:: Oh yes... Ensign Riley.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  You found the child?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO:  Sir!  Sir, I suppose I did, with the Counselor, Sir.

CNS Talora says:
::Rolls her eyes.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Cmdr:  Thank you, Sir.

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Hmpf. You may prove useful after all.  Maybe.

Security Johnson says: 
::Slips away from the Huron family reunion and heads to the brig to file his report.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Smiles at the Chief Engineering Officer.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO:  Yes, Sir. ::Smiles, thinking- not bad for a first day.::

CNS Talora says:
::Gives Ben a huge smile and a wink before walking off to talk to William.::

Host CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS: Don't go getting a swelled head.  The Doctor has enough problems to deal with at the moment.

Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion_ says:
OPS:  Seriously, thank you.

FCO_Lt_Bishara says:
Nurse:  What happened?  Where is William?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Takes Jessie from Icky and puts her down.::

CMO_William_Stradiot says:
CO:  I heard that!  ::Mutters to self.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO:  Swelled head?  No, Sir.

Mission Prologue:  

Dreams and desires, wishes and plans, revenge and hope come together on a planet that fate has deemed the crux for many things in this time and place in this universe.

And because of that, many governments worked at keeping them contained so they would never return to the top.  But humans have proven there is always a seed among them that will not lie down and roll over.

And so for years humans have made their plans to once again take their place in the scheme of things at the top.  No more would they be slaves or the unclassified citizens. But there were those who simply wanted to go home.  And it was those that finally made the push to head back to the cradle that birthed humans.

The captains were gathered, their plans made and they were sent out to bring things together.  Some succeeded and some failed. Some made allies who had their own agendas when it came down to things.  But the old acronym holds true, war makes strange bed fellows and to succeed, they were believed to be needed.  What that means for the future of Earth is yet to be seen.

Now after all the plotting and plans, ships and peoples from around the alpha quadrant come together before this unique world to plan its destiny.  While those in the background hold their breath to wait and see what changes will come on the winds…

SCENE: The various rebel fleets have assembled within the borders of the Sol system.  The ISS Claymore leads a set of twelve Breen vessels, the Quirinus comes with her Vulcan forces, and the Qa'rol waits in the background with Alliance ships loyal to the Captain.

SCENE: Surrounding the planet Earth is a dozen and a half vessels, mostly Klingon.  The actions of the Claymore have ensured that a large number of Cardassian forces are pulled back to their home world to fight off a Breen invasion force.

SCENE: However, the planet is not entirely defenseless, as orbital defensive satellites have been brought to full readiness.  Communications and sensor grids have been compromised by the actions of the EK'ara and its computer virus, but the Alliance ships have enough coverage to compensate.

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

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::On the Bridge of the Qa'rol, taking inventory of the defenses of the planet.::  CO: Tactically we're ready.  I suppose it's wasted effort to say this had better work?

SCENE:  A vessel of totally alien design large enough for a heavy cruiser emerges from the far side of Pluto with a Bird of Prey in formation.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%OPS:  Get me the kurn and Rouge, the 2 b'rel class; notify them I'm taking command.  They are to stay with us.  Keep a line open at all times so I can give commands.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
EC:  I am fully confident that we will succeed.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  We are ready, my Lord.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: Fleet:  All ships hold position, and standby for further orders.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Succeed or die.  And I'd rather take the first choice.  But there's not another viable option left.

tar CTO says: 
%XO:  I am detecting a large vessel just coming into the system with a formation of Bird's of prey.

ACTION: The Bird of Prey, Queen Anne's Revenge, shoots out from the Asteroid belt firing all weapons at the largest of the defending Alliance ships.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%FCO:  Just hold our position until we are given the word to move.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Staring at the sensor readings.::  CO: We've got an unidentifiable vessel coming in from outside of Sol IX.  Nothing like it on file.

ACTION:  The remaining crew of the Arcadia...three loyal to the end, shoot out into the atmosphere in their rebellion snub-fighters, leaving England in shambles after taking a chunk out of their power stations.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  There is an unknown vessel approaching just coming in from the edge of the system.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
SEC_Ec:  Weapons?

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: tar/Mo'rak:  We see it.  Standby

ACTION:  Ship sensors pick up the Claymore and Quirinus, followed by a Breen force, leaving the area of Mars and heading for Earth.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says: 
CO:  Still analyzing.  It's about the mass of a battle cruiser.  No overt threats from it yet.

ACTION:  The Alliance vessel under attack from the Queen Anne's Revenge returns fire severely damaging the Bird of Prey.

ACTION:  In response to the Queen Anne's Revenge, the Alliance vessels take evasive action, but remain in the general area of Earth.  Two large Negh'var vessels open fire will full weapons, and the Queen Anne's Revenge spins off into destruction.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  The attack is under way.  Let's hope the Terran gods are watching closely.  Alliance defenses have held, but first attack appears to have been a test or a ruse.

ACTION:  Sensors detect an incoming fleet of ships, heading by a vessel transmitting as the Sharikahr.  Eight ships of Klingon design head into the system at high warp.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Another fleet entering system at high Warp.  Klingon ships, but the lead is transmitting a non-Alliance ID.  It's going to get tough identifying targets real quick.

tar CTO says:
%XO:  I have a fleet of ships coming in.

ACTION:  The Alien ship appears neutral and undecided taking no offensive action.

veS_CTO says: 
@CO: My lord I have a fleet of ships coming in.  Your orders?

tar CTO says:
%XO: That large vessel is just sitting there.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Engineering did alter our security codes, didn't they?  Would hate to learn they didn't the hard way.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
SEC_EC:  We'll concentrate our fire on the defense platforms.  Ready all weapons.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  That alien vessel is just sitting there like it's watching.  I don't like it.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: tar/Mo'rak:  Ignore it for now, but keep your eyes open.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@COM: tar/Mo’rak:  This is Mo'BriHoD.  Ships coming in at us...Keep your eyes open.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Understood, locking on all weapons; torpedoes on the farthest; Disruptors on the closest.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%COM: veS/Mo’BriHoD:  I can see that myself.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: Q'tor's Fleet:  Ready all weapons.  Target the defense platforms.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@COM: Qa'rol/Mo’rak:  Understood, my Lord.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%CTO:  Target the defense platforms.  All weapons, fire on Q'tor's mark.

tar CTO says:
%XO:  Target locked and waiting.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CTO: Target defense platforms.  All weapons fire on my Lord, Q'tor’s, mark.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: Q'tor's Fleet:  Assume attack formation; open fire.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%::Stands up.::  FCO:  Attack formation.  

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Opens fire on the defense platforms, smiling.::  Self: And it begins, suspect no longer.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%CTO: Open fire.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@::Rises.::  FCO:  Attack formation.  

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CTO: Open fire.

tar CTO says:
%::Opens up with all weapons.::

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CTO:  Yljaj.  ::Opens up with all weapons.::

ACTION:  The fleet of Alliance vessels loyal to the Qa’rol moves in against the defensive platforms, trading fire.

CO_Talora says:
$::Stands.::  OPS:  Signal all Brotherhood vessels to open fire.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%OPS:  Keep shields to full power.  I don't care how you do it.

ACTION:  Four Klingon Vor'cha Class attack cruisers appear from behind the red planet.  The first of the Klingon ships opens fire at the Breen fleet catching them off guard as they breech their hull.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@FCO:  Watch your heading, and make sure the Chief Tactical Officer's shots count.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
SEC_Ec:  Auxiliary power to the forward shields.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
SEC:  Full power to the main disruptor cannon.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Understood, full power to Disruptor.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%CTO:  Continue firing.  Do not let up.

CEO_Lt_K`EKtar says:
*CO*:  My Lord, all power is shunted from unnecessary systems to shields, weapons and engines.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
SEC_EC:  Fire!

ACTION:  The fleet of ships led by the Sharikahr reaches the perimeter of the battle... and opens fire against the Vulcan ships protecting the Quirinus.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
*CEO*:  Very good, have damage control teams standing by.

CEO_Lt_K`EKtar says:
*CO*:  Already have them on stand by, my Lord.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Cringes slightly.::  CO:  Sorry Sir, opened fire when you told the fleet to.  Already engaged.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CEO:  Make ready your damage control teams.  I want this ship to come out of this in one piece and victorious.

tar CSO says: 
%XO: Sir, that lead ship that came in with that fleet just opened up on the Vulcans.

veS_CEO says:
@*CO*:  My Lord, we are already at that point.  Teams are assembled.

ACTION:  The ISS Claymore has engaged the enemy fleet.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  Sir, the Vulcans are taking heavy damage from that fleet that moved in.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  As I said, bogey identification will get very tricky.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: tar/Mo'rak:  Maintain your attack on the defense platforms.

veS_CTO says:
@CO:  Mo'BriHoD, that other ship just opened up on the Vulcan ships.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Continues to fire at the platforms, trying to get through this in one piece.::

XO_Mo`rak says:
%COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  Yes, Sir.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CTO:  Maintain your fire on the platforms.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%CTO:  Continue to attack on the platforms.

veS_CTO says:
@CO:  Yljaj.

ACTION:  The Alien ship appears to be watching.

veS_CTO says: 
@::Continues to fire on the platforms.::

CO_Talora says:
$COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  Alright, Q'tor.  The Brotherhood vessels are all ready.  Separate orders?

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: D’deridex/CO_Talora:  Take out that ship that's attacking the Vulcan ships.

CO_Talora says:
$COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  Yes, Sir.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: Q'tor's Fleet:  Concentrate your fire on the defense platforms.  Clear a path!

CO_Talora says:
$OPS:  Signal the other D'deridex and two of our Klingon vessels to aid the Vulcans. Go now!

D’deridex OPS says: 
$Talora:  Yes, Ma'am.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@COM: Qa'rol/Q’tor:  Yljaj, my Lord.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%CTO:  Concentrate fire, clear a path.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CTO:  Make your shots count.

ACTION: Captain Q'tor's fleet of loyal Alliance ships takes light losses as they begin to pick off the defensive platforms.  A quarter of the defensive ships break formation to pursue and engage.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@FCO:  Evasives.

ACTION:  A warbird and two K'vort's veer off from Q'tor's fleet to aide the Vulcans.

tar CTO says:
%XO:  We have incoming vessels heading our way.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CTO:  Maintain your fire on the platforms.  Make a hole in them.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  Sir, we have inbound ships heading our way.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Poking the glacier got a response.  Defense fleet sending a welcoming party, 3 or 4 ships incoming.

Andromeda XO Lt. Conor Power says: 
#COM: All:  This is XO Conor Power of the Andromeda.  We need to retrieve something from the planet.  We can help you in this battle, if you permit us to land and retrieve what we need.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
COM: Q'tor's Fleet:  Continue your attack on the defense platforms.  The Qa'rol will cover you.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@COM: Qa'rol/Q’tor:  Yljaj, my Lord.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
SEC_Ec:  Target the lead ship and fire.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@CTO:  Maintain your fire.  Make that hole.

CO_Talora says:
$COM: Qa’rol/Q'tor:  Aye.

veS_CO_Mo`BriHoD says:
@FCO:  Move it around and punch it.

XO_Mo`rak says:
%FCO/CTO:  Never mind those ships.  Keep us on target.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Understood, altering target to the nearest Alliance craft; all weapons opening fire.

CO_Talora says:
$CTO:  Concentrate fire on the ship that the Qa'rol attacks.  They'll drop like flies that way.

ACTION:  The Quirinus and the Vulcan ships return fire against the Sharikahr, damaging their shields, but not stopping their attack.

D’deridex CTO says: 
$Talora:  Yes, Ma'am.

ACTION:  The Alien Ship's Impulse Engines Fire, and she begins to assist the Claymore!

Claymore CSO Lt. Senn says: 
&COM: All ships:  The USS Andromeda is an ally, not an enemy ship.  Do not attack them.

ACTION:  The Qa'rol fires at the lead Alliance vessel scoring a direct hit to their engines.  The other ships open fire on the Qa'rol.

CEO_Lt_K`EKtar says:
*CO*:  Weapons and shields and propulsion still at 100%.  My Lord, you have all that the lady will give.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
SEC_Ec:  Target the other ships!  Fire at will!

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  The unidentified ship is with us, it seems.  For now at least.  We're taking heavy fire from the rest of the defense fleet, returning fire.

CO_Talora says:
$CTO:  FIRE!

veS_CEO says:
@CO:  My Lord Mo'BriHod, engineering is 100% so far.  Q'apla.

Host CO_Q`torHoD says:
*CEO*:  We're taking fire.  Keep those shields up!

CEO_Lt_K`EKtar says:
*CO*:  Yljaj.  ::Hurries to the console to maintain his watch on the engines and shields and weapons.::

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
::Targets the rest of the incoming Alliance ships, smallest first.::

CEO_Lt_K`EKtar says:
::Shunts power from secondary systems to maintain the shield grid.::

ACTION:  The Andromeda fires photon torpedoes on Alliance forces as well as her Main Phasers.

SEC_Ec`Tur`Am`Bar says:
CO:  Working on the smallest craft and working my way up.  Figure that way if they run, we can do the most permanent damage possible.

ACTION:  The Qa'rol begins firing at the remaining Alliance forces attacking Q'tor's fleet.

CO_Talora says:
$OPS:  Signal the Terran and Gorn vessels to open fire.  Don't let a single enemy ship stand!

D’deridex OPS says:
