Mission Prologue:  

Last time on the USS Huron …

The crew of the Huron attempted to break free from a time loop they were stuck in, and took on a passenger from a D'deridex vessel that was on the other side of the rift.

The passenger was a duplicate of Counselor Talora, and she carried some information for Lord Q'tor on how to avoid casualties that the other Huron had received.  But was this Talora from the near future, or was she a bridge between two points in time?

**********************************************

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Commander, I've got hull breaches on deck 3 and we're losing atmosphere. Sealing it off.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Very good, watch for deck 10 to follow soon.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: There is no way to get out of this loop.  We have to send a message ahead into the loop to help us.  Temporal Causality loops repeat themselves.  We should just let the eventuality happen and pray we get the message in the next loop.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Prepare to head straight in, all possible speed.  Wait for my order.

Mirror Talora says:
CO:  Lord Q'tor .. Captain Q'tor .. whatever .. If you move into the rift, you will be just like that Huron that we are trying to save.  And many of your people will die.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  I don't have time to explain Commander, but have the helm start backing away from the warbird.  Set a course for the opening of the rift.

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

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Continues to work on strengthening the structural fields on the affected decks.::  Martin: If you're feeling up to it, get on those conduit repairs will you?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Making any headway in getting us out of here?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::On Bridge.::  Angeltra: Captain wants me in Sickbay.  If the Romulans do anything threatening, call me immediately.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Captain wants me in Sickbay.  Permission to leave the Bridge?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Not really.  Last I checked we were going like a bat out of hell into the rift or now I should call it a Fissure.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Of course, Commander.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  We're backing away from the Romulans like you asked.  Now tell me, who are you, and how did you escape the Romulan warbird?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods and turns for the Turbolift, then takes it to Sickbay.::

EO Martin says:
CEO:  I'm fine Holly.  I'll get right on it.  ::Slowly walks towards the panel to scout out the problem.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Looks at her navigational computer and confirms that they are moving away from the Romulan and heading into the Rift or Fissure at this point.::

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  My Lord, we answered a distress call from your ship.  I am Captain of the vessel that is .. or was .. I'm not sure how it is .. but trying to save you.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Keep your eye on the structural field.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Sir, we are as I said moving away from the Romulan Warbird and directly into the Fissure or Rift if you can call it that.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  ETA till we reach the rift opening?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters Sickbay, noting Scoo and one of the new guys at the door.::  CO: You wanted me here, Captain?

ACTION:  The middle of the opening in the rift is starting to close.  The opening on both sides is still large enough for the Huron to easily fit through, but the rift is showing increased instability.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Turns as the CTO enters, and then faces back to Talora.:: CTO: Does she look familiar?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: I can't give you one.  We are doing full impulse now and the rift or fissure is closing and it is getting mighty unstable in here.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Transfers power from non essential systems to stabilize other areas of the ship.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Looks like Counselor Talora, although if it is she's out of uniform.  And far from where the Computer has her location.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  We are approaching the rift opening and it's unstable and bad.  We need as much as you can get us for the SIF and shield strength.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Whoever she is, she's not Counselor Talora.  However, she claims her name is Talora, and that she's the Captain of that Warbird out there.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud:  Bloody instabilities... Huron old gal, hold straight....ARGH!!!!!  ::Fights with the strong pull from the rift.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  So you work with the Romulans?

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  I believe our universes collided in here, my Lord.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  She don't look Romulan.  Eyes must be getting bad.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  We're working on it Commander, but the ship's not going to last if we can't get out of that thing soon.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Universes?  What are you talking about?  And why do you keep addressing me as 'Lord'?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Self:  Bloody hell.  I am not getting paid enough for this crap.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Is there anything you can do for the impulse drive to increase power output?

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  Human, my Lord.  I'm human.  If you want to leave this time loop, going through my side of the loop is not going to get you home.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Keeping his mouth shut so his full attention is on his work.::

EO Martin says:
CEO: Holly we need you over here.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Keep her steady the best you can, Lieutenant.  Just get us out of here.

ACTION:  Huron's sensors are detecting an energy discharge on the other side of the rift.  The D'deridex vessel is under attack.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Mirror Talora:  Why not?  Where will it lead us?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  I've rerouted all the power I can to the engines.  We don't have anymore, Commander.

Angeltra says:
XO:  Sir, it appears the Romulan vessel is under attack, can't yet identify the attacker.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  I am trying, Sir..... oh hell. ::Banks hard right and yaws left to steady the Huron.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Understood.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: The Romulans are being attacked.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  What!  By who, and where?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  I'm checking to see by who, or is it by whom?

Mirror_Talora says:
CTO:  You don't belong in our Universe, Sir.  In my universe, you are Lord Q’tor's body guard.  You don't belong through that rift.  I don't know where you actually do belong, but I know it's not that way.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Angeltra:  Can you locate the source?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Rushes over to Martin to see what's going on.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Checks.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
All: Hang on tight; we got a bump coming at us....... ::Pulls the Huron hard left.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Sir, the Warbird is under attack.  We can not identify as of yet.

Angeltra says:
XO:  Working on it; Tactical Sensors aren't exactly high priority at the moment I'm afraid.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  So she's saying...oh boy.

EO Martin says:
CEO:  Holly these conduits are fused.  We're going to have to replace them.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Angeltra:  Mainly find out, is it a threat to us?  We are not prepared for a battle.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  What's our status?

ACTION:  The D'deridex vessel loses its tractor beam on the duplicate Huron.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud: Oh hell..... ::Grabs the console.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Martin:  So replace them.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  We are in no condition to go into battle unless we have to.

Mirror_Talora says:
::Sits up.::  CO:  My ship is under attack?  Tell them to leave.  Tell them to get out of here.

Angeltra says:
OPS:  We have anything to spare for sensors?
XO:  They've lost the other Huron, Tractor deactivated.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Grabs onto the chair.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Who would be attacking your ship?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  I don't advise we go into combat.  We won't survive if we survive this jolt.........

EO Martin says:
::Looks dejected.:: CEO: Holly, these are the ones connecting to the impulse engines.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Angeltra: I'll see what I can find for you.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Angeltra:  Is it adrift?

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  Probably the Klingons, my Lord .. no offense.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Continues to fight with the helm.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  We have been requested to send a message to the warbird to retreat.  Send it if we are able.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Finds some power to allocate to sensors.::  Angeltra:  Here you go but, it's temporary.

ACTION:  The damaged 2nd Huron is adrift inside the rift.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks at the Ensign.::  Martin: Don't tell me... ::sees Martin nodding.::  I said don't tell me.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: Keep us on course, Lieutenant.

Angeltra says:
XO: It is adrift at the moment, yes Sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: Trying Sir, but we are going to be hit.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS: Send a message to the warbird, and order it to retreat at once.

EO Martin says:
CEO: There's no other way, Holly. We'll have to shut down the impulse engines.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Call me Captain, or Q'tor, but quit calling me 'Lord'.  It sounds jum coming from you. <jum = odd>

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Message is being sent; other thing, the other Huron that was being held by the Warbird is now adrift.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

ACTION:  There is a large instability coming from the area of the rift where the damaged Huron is.  A wave of energy is headed toward the Huron.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  Nothing we can do for them, Commander.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: The other Huron is venting plasma remember, and we got a wave coming up behind us.  Hang on.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Understood.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sends a message to Romulans - You are ordered to retreat, immediately.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Wipes her brow with her sleeve.::  Martin:  I have to tell the bridge.. have the team stand by.

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  Sorry, my Lord, or Q'tor.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Shields to full power, everything you can.

Angeltra says:
XO/ *CTO*: Energy wave incoming, will try to minimize with shields, but no promises!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*ALL Hands*:  Prepare for impact!

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Now what is all of this about different universes colliding?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO:  Permission to return to the Bridge?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Shields to full, aye, Sir.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Hands fly over the console adjusting pitch and yaw, and increasing and decreasing the thrusters to try to surf the wave.::

ACTION:  The wave wipes out the 2nd damaged Huron, increasing the wave headed toward the Huron that is retreating.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Hears the announcement.::  *XO*:  What's going on?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hears the bridge com and reaches for the nearest console.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Puts shields at maximum.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Incoming energy wave.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Granted.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
All:  Hang on.  I am going to try to surf us out of here.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS:  You know how to surf?

Angeltra says:
XO/ *CTO*: The other Huron has been destroyed, impact imminent and increasing in power.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  I hope you know how, Lieutenant.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Do it all the time.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns and heads to the Bridge, almost knocking crew over rushing for the Turbolift.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Self: qIvatlh!  ::Grabs hold of the bio-bed and hangs on tight.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Angeltra:  Understood.  Stabilize aft shields.

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  You don't understand.  I'm not from your time or place.  You don't belong in our time.  I'm from a parallel universe.  ::Grabs the biobed she's sitting on.::  This is going to be bad, isn't it?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Bridge*:  Engineering here.  We have a problem down here.  Going to have to shut down the impulse engines to make repairs.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
FCO:  Skateboard, surfing, they are similar.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Watches as the wave approaches and pushes the Huron as fast as she can to minimize the impact of the wave hitting from behind.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS:  Well let’s go surfing.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Isn't it always?

Angeltra says:
XO:  Aye, all power to aft shields, all available fingers crossed.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Negative Commander.  Keep us moving forward; incoming energy wave; attempting to ride it out.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Gets in Turbolift, requesting Bridge.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Self:  Now let's see if I remember how now.  Nose up, tail down, yaw 0 degrees port and starboard, pitch 0.005 up.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Smiles at FCO.::  FCO:  Sounds good to me.  Kowaa Bunga, Dudette.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Fine Sir, but they'll shut down on their own in a matter of hours if I can't make the repairs to the direct conduits.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud: Kowaa Bunga Dude!!

ACTION: The shockwave hits the Huron and throws her through the rift.  Consoles on the bridge spark, fire suppression systems go off all over the ship, and the TL the CTO is in suddenly stops.  All power fails.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud:  OH HELL!!!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Slams against the wall of the Turbolift as it stops suddenly, then crashes to the floor.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Falls forward getting knocked into the back of the FCO’s seat.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Falls over the console she's holding onto.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Hands fly as she gets hit by the XO.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Rubbing his head and gets up.::

ACTION:  Emergency back-up power begins to come on line.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
ALL: Report?

Angeltra says:
XO:  Wave hit, we're still in one piece.  Emergency power coming back on line.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Falls to the floor to avoid getting his eyebrows singed.  Gets back up to access the damage to console and ship.::

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  What the heck happened?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS: Hey, we are surfing.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Picks himself up off of the deck and taps his com-badge.:: *XO*: Bridge report!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Self: Well that problem seems to be solved. 
Martin: Report!

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud:  Way to surf.......

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Are we still in the rift or whatever it is?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: We are on our way out surfing nicely, thank you.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: On emergency power, impact caused a "wipeout" of or power grid.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Energy wave.  It would seem we made it through in one piece; relatively speaking.

EO Martin says:
CEO:  We've lost all primary systems, Commander, back ups are responding.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reaches along the wall, feeling for the controls.::  Self: This isn't good.  
*Angeltra*: I'm stuck in a Turbolift en route to the Bridge.  How bad is it?

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  What about my ship?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS: That was one hell of a wipe out, dude.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Angeltra:  How are the shields?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Checking location status, now, Sir.

Angeltra says:
*CTO*:  Reports still coming in.  I'll try to get a team to you ASAP.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  I don't know.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Hands continue to fly over the console adjusting and readjusting the flight path of the surfing ship.::

Angeltra says:
XO:  Emergency Power doesn't leave much for them; Tactical system controls still recovering.

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  My Lord, if you need to get .. I mean Q'tor, you need to get to your bridge.  I understand if you need to confine me until this is all sorted out.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Slams the console with her fist.::  Martin: Repair teams to all areas.  Concentrate on sickbay, life support and engineering systems first, then tactical and sensors.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Taps his com-badge again.::  *XO*: Commander Naug, this is the Captain, report!

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Sir, you okay?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Confirmed, we are out of the rift.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Bridge*:  Before you ask, we're on it.  All primary systems are down; backups are responding.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Primary systems are down, secondary are on but minimal.  It seems that Icky is stuck in the TL.  Sensors are badly damaged.  Wait …

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Great!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  All stop!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Angeltra*:  Understood.  Will try and see if I can do some Damage Control myself.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS: Yep, we are out and ... ::Hears the XO.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Talora:  Remain here.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: All stop?  With what, Sir?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  We are clear of the rift and going to all stop.

Angeltra says:
XO:  Systems are spotty, but it appears shields are down, or close enough as to be useless.

Mirror_Talora says:
CO:  Yes, Q'tor.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Get out and hold us here if you have to.   I don't care.  Use thrusters to stop us.  Whatever.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Self:  Oh hell.... ::Hands fly once again hurrying to bring the Huron to a dead stop.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Do what you need, Commander.  We are attempting to stop.  Get us moving again as soon as you can.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  I'm returning to the bridge.  Make communications a priority, and get a message to Starfleet and inform them of our situation.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Coming to a dead stop, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  What is your condition, Commander?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  Oh, and Commander.  Any news concerning the status of the warbird?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Initiating diagnostics and repairs.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*: A bit bruised, but I've been worse.  Some light coming back on, so that's a bit of an improvement.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looks at Angeltra.::  Angeltra:  Anything on sensors if they work?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Runs diagnostics of her helm controls and the navigational computers.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  And just so you know, Icky is stuck in the TL so you might want to send a team to repair that and get him out.

Angeltra says:
XO:  Working on it; trying to reroute.  Some success, but spotty.  I'll see what I can get from them.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Unknown Sir, sensors are not working properly.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Moving again?  You've got to be kidding.  It's going to be some time before I dare let my engines go.  I've got to do a complete diagnostic before some bozo up there decides to play red light, green light again.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Prioritizing and assigning work details to his staff.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Looks at Talora.:: Talora: Nothing about your ship yet.  We'll keep trying.

Angeltra says:
XO:  Chroniton Particle Emissions trail out there, but it's fading fast.  I'll see if I can find the beginning and end point.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: Understood Commander. I'll send a team right away.

Mirror_Talora says:
::Sighs, and looks down.::  CO:  Thank you for trying.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Heads off to make his way to the bridge.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Sir, there is a severe lag between engineering and the helm controls, Sir.  Thrusters are at half power and impulse is for now offline.  Other than that my controls are fine.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Commander, we are dead in the water; no sensors, minimal shields.  Work a miracle.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: Hold our position for now.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS:  I feel for the Chief.  I would love to help her but.....

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Sir, this ship is going nowhere for the moment.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Do what you can to get sensors back online.  We need to know what’s out there.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Reaches for the roof exit, pushing the access panel aside to see if I can tell where I stopped.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hears the XO.::  Self:  He wants a miracle?  How about I just turn the Huron into a Sovereign and sail away.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Focusing his energies to fixing and reestablishing a COM link to SFC.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Works on sensors instead.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Sends a team to the turbolift.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  And make sure you get a message off to Starfleet.  Inform them of our situation.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: Icky, are you alright? I have a repair team on the way.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS:  Now he wants a miracle up here too!!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: I was trying to get the COM working before I started working on the sensors, Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Self: Turbo lifts are down, so looks like it's the scenic route for me.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO: Sir, wouldn't the communications arrays in the shuttles be sufficient to send a distress signal?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Comms first.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Yeah, I'm fine.  Lift is stuck between decks 3 and 4, Primary Bridge access shaft.  I think I can make the Deck 2 portal with no trouble.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: But, you said... and I was already... grrr, aye, Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*:  Better stay put.  No telling what debris is in the shaft.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Multitask.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Have a member of your staff see what they can do.

ACTION:  A piece of metal comes flying down the shaft into the TL at the CTO barely missing him.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  What is you condition, Captain?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Fights to keep his mouth shut.  Concentrates on "multi-tasking".::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Yeah, that may be wise.  Guessing...yeow!  Stepping away from the shaft opening.  I'll sit quietly.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Already on it, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Get the communications array up and running a priority.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  Commander, this may take me a while with the lifts down. Once you have communications back up, make sensors your next priority.  Get everyone, and I mean Everyone with engineering experience working on repairs.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CTO*: I just want to make sure all your bits and pieces are still attached.  Repair team should be there in two minutes.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Yes Sir.  We are on it.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  Those that don't have engineering experience can be the gophers for those that do.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Do what you can here.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*CEO*: Yeah, I'll do my best on that.  How bad are we?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Angeltra:  You have a tricorder handy?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*:  Commander, are you serious?  I have teams all over the ship just trying to keep her from falling apart.  Communications are going to take a while.

Angeltra says:
::Pokes his head out from under the console.::  XO:  Aye Sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Heads out to assist one of the repair teams.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CEO*:  Captains orders, Commander.  You got to get a message to Starfleet.  That is your priority.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Sends a quick comm to her staff in the shuttle bays.::

Angeltra says:
XO: I could put the Bynars on Communications.  They're specialists in Computer hacking, but they should be able to help.

ACTION:  A creaking noise is heard coming from the antigrav plates of the TL that the CTO is in.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*XO*: I'll do my best sir, but other areas do have priority.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self: That isn't good.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Angeltra:  Do it, get them busy.   Locate the CTO.  How far away from here is he since he was on his way?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Moves up to Angeltra.::

ACTION:  The TL begins to shutter and move slightly, then groans some more.

Angeltra says:
*CEO*: I'll send the Bynars to look at the Subspace Transceiver; leave your people free to deal with the important stuff.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Don't hit me or nothing but, it's going to take me a good half hour to repair the COM; it's been fried.  Sensors will be at least an hour.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Stops in his tracks.::  *CEO*: Commander Sparks, this is the Captain.  I'm on deck 8.  Where do you need an extra pair of hands that I can get to quickly?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Self: This is frustrating cause I can do work myself.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Self:  Now or never.  ::Steps close to the access hatch, glancing up.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Angeltra*: Great, and tell them to step on it will ya?  Things are getting a wee bit hectic down here.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  I'm not going to hit you Ensign.  Just concentrate on the comm.  What do you need to do?

Angeltra says:
*CEO*:  Will do.  Going to try and get all available hands to assist damage control.  May take a bit though.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Just time, Sir.  ::Crawls under the console and removes the panel cover.  Takes out the tool box stored there and gets to work.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Sir, I feel like a fool sitting here when I have a solid background in engineering.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Moves to the science console and does what he can do from there.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Damage Control Team*:  Where you guys at?  Time’s getting short I'm afraid.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  I told you to get busy.  Do what you can from here.  Coordinate with Commander Sparks.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Begins checking for damaged components.::

ACTION:  A repair team arrives at the CTO's location and opens the doors to the TL.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*CO*: Sir, can you get to the subspace transceiver? The Binars are heading there to see what the problem is.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*:  Holly how can I help?

Damage Control Team says:
CTO:  Commander?  ::Looks into the TL.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  You still hanging in there?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Almost leaps out.::  Damage Control Team: Thanks, that car sounds like it's not going to stay there for long.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Making a shopping list as he goes through the entire panel, COM, sensors, tactical, helm and operations.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Pulls his com-badge off and shakes it as he looks at it, and almost drops it as the CEO’s voice comes from it.:: *CEO*: Consider me there, Commander.

Damage Control Team says:
CTO:  Do you need medical attention?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  You got a reading on the power levels?  I'm in between levels.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
SELF:  Might as well be thorough.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*XO*:  Damage control just got me out.  I'll be there shortly, just two decks down.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*: Yes Holly, readings are not good on this end.  Port is down by 25% and starboard is off by 30%.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Damage Control Team:  No, I'm fine, or as fine as can be expected.  Thanks for the help.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CTO*:  Great.  Have all your personnel on damage control.  Have them report to Commander Sparks.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*:  What's the SIF?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Hands fly over the console trying to get readings.::

Damage Control Team says:
CTO:  Aye, Commander.  Good luck.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*: SIF Is 45% and slowly climbing.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Hurries to the next access door.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Other OPS personnel appear on the bridge to repair other damaged areas of the bridge.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Sorry Sir.  Things are a mess Sir. Everyone is busy trying to get anything back up.  Icky has been freed of the TL also.  He is fine.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Gets a comm from the shuttle bay.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters an access point and takes the Jeffries tubes to the Bridge.::  *XO*: They should already be there, if not Angeltra's going to get an...well, you know.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*: Good, any life in the primary systems yet?  I have my people trying to access them.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
Out loud:  Oh hell, well there went the idea of the shuttle communications.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::A team of Engineered trained OPS personnel report to the Engineering staff for repair duty.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*: Yeah, I got some life in half of the primary systems but they are sporadic.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  Very good, Commander.  I'm on my way to assist with the subspace transceiver.

Angeltra says:
XO:  Gathering damage control volunteers as quick as I can.  Lack of Turbo Lifts is slowing movement, but they're coming.

EO Martin says:
::Sees the new arrivals.::  All: Okay people, the Captain wants communications, so you're going to handle that.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
*CO*:  Us on the bridge are doing what we can.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Pulls a panel off the science console and digs in.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Goes off to retrieve new parts he needs to complete repairs.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*: Holly IDF is almost up to 50% and climbing slowly.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*: Keep an eye on that and whatever you do, don't touch the impulse controls yet.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*XO*:  We'll be back on our feet in no time.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Self:  Deflector.  
OPS: Is there anyway we can use the deflector shield to get a message out, or even us it as a sensor?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Exits Jeffries Tubes.::  Angeltra: I leave you alone for five minutes and this is what happens?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Maybe, Sir. But, I'll probably have COM repaired in less time than it would take to do it.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Crawls through another jeffries tube.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Returns to under his console to install new parts.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Just a thought.  I'm no engineer.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Arrives at auxiliary control.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Notices the CTO getting on the bridge.::

Angeltra says:
CTO: It was a little more than five minutes, Sir.  Trying to get teams into place to assist repairs, not much else we can do at the moment.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: And I'm no singer, Sir but, that never stops me.  ::Replaces yet another burned out data chip.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: This is bad, isn't it?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Very bad.  See if you can access the deflector dish control.  I have an idea about the sensors.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Aye Sir.  I'll head right down there, assuming we can't access from here?  ::Looks to Angeltra who nods.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Sir, good news... ::Gets up off the floor and into his seat. Punches up a few things.::  I think I got the COM working.  In just another... minute or two.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Climbing through the jeffries tubes.::  Self:  Shoulda had them repair the turbo lifts first thing.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Runs a quick diagnostic after firing up his console.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Inform the Captain; see what he wants to send.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Trying to reroute power leads around fried stuff.::

EO Martin says:
*CEO*:  Holly, have power back for the turbolifts.  Shall I re-engage?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Aye, Sir.  I'll just make sure it's a go.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Waits for results of his tests on COM.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Martin:  Do it.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*:  Holly primary systems are now up to 50% and no longer sporadic.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Over hears the FCO.::  FCO:  What’s the status of our sensors?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Finally reaches deck 10 and emerges out of an access hatch and into a corridor.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*FCO*: Okay good.  Just remember what I said about the impulse systems.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
::Moves quickly to the engineering console and looks quickly at the sensor grid.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*:  Not to worry Holly, I got it covered.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: I'll head down to Primary Deflector control, see if we can manually operate to do whatever you're looking to do.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Checking on it now, Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Looks around to get his bearings.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Looks over the controls in auxiliary control and begins to bring a few more systems online.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Ten minutes more, and I should have enough power to get the SRS on line.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Let me run this by you.  Is there a way to tie the sensors into the dish and use it to get a reading out there?  See what’s there?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*CO*:  Sir, I'm ready to try and reach out with the COM.  Did you have someone specific you wanted to talk to?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Makes his way to the subspace transceiver.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Affirmative.  But I think it would be easier to access the sensor pallets directly.  See what we can see until they can relay the information here.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS:  Just watch the power output, please.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*OPS*:  Starfleet Command.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
FCO:  Huh?

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS:  I don't want that someone calling us instead.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Cross circuits the sensor grid with several other systems.:: *Bridge*: You should have at least partial sensors now. Can you confirm?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*CO*:  Aye, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  You know the systems better then me.  We need sensors.  I don't like being blind.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
*CEO*:  Got it, Holly. I got partial SRS.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Attempts to place a call to SFC on all frequencies.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  I have partial SRS online now, Sir.  Not much else yet.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Nods.::  XO: Deck 7 sensor pallets it is.

Angeltra says:
CTO: Guess they just saved you a trip.

ACTION:  Three Romulan Birds of Prey decloak in front of the Huron.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  What do you see?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
::Breathes a sigh of relief.::  Self: About time we have a stroke of good luck.

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
XO:  Three Romulan Warbirds in front of us just decloaking!!! OH HELL!!!

Romulan Vessel says:
@COM: Huron: Why are you in our area of space?  Explain .. or you will be destroyed!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO:  Umm, Sir.  ::Points to viewscreen.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO:  Damn.   
CTO:  Get tactical up NOW.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Turns back towards the Tactical Console.::

FCO_Lt_Bishara_Stradiot says:
OPS:  Just who did you call?  The Romulans or SFC?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS: Tell them we are damaged and need assistance.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Bynars:  Gentlemen <?>, Is there anything I can do to help?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
FCO:  Are you serious?
