Space, the final frontier...These are the adventures of the USS Huron in her journeys to search the galaxy, explore new worlds and civilizations, to bring peace where conflicts may arise, and to brave the darkness of the vast unknown.

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

The USS Huron's senior staff has been requested to participate in a holographic program that may be used for future Starfleet Academy Classes.

Starfleet has asked the Huron crew to provide feedback of the completed program, and to endorse or reject the program once completed.  The crew will be meeting with Captain Finkleberry in Holosuite 2, Deck 18 of Starbase 42 to be further briefed.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Leans against the wall at the Holosuite:: CO/XO: What happened out there?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Outside Holodeck, wishing there were more information on exactly what to expect inside, trying to not think of the answer to the Doctor's question, if there is one.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::looks to the CO::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: steps into the turbolift and waits for others to get inside too ::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
Computer: Deck 18.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Not sure where the Holodeck is, sees Commander Sparks walking ahead of him so, just follows her and hopes she knows::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::turns the corner and comes jogging down the corridor::

Admiral_Tierney says:
::Approaches the Holodeck.::  CTO:  Morning, Commander.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: William!!!!!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: holds the door for Riley :: OPS: Hurry Ensign.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Looks really peeved:: CMO:  We lost Talora.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Smiles lightly:: FCO: Hello T'Lar.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Enters Turbolift, with her:: CEO: Yes, Ma'am.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::blinks at the CO:: CO: .....Lost her....?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: That is not how I wanted to have him hear.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: lets the doors close :: OPS: Relax, and it's Holly. :: smiles ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::takes William by his shoulders and tells him:: CMO: William, we lost Talora.  I am truly saddened by her loss.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Would you mind if I just follow you? I'm not sure where I'm going. Oh, and umm, okay, Holly. ::That don't sound right, calling her that::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Just stands there with a blank expression on his face::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Ignoring the FCO:: CMO: Something took over her mind.  When it finally left her she died before we could get medical personnel to the bridge.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Adm: Morning Admiral.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: Apparently she was possessed by a god like entity and there was a battle on the bridge as I was told and the entity that was in her was the evil one and when it departed it left her to die.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: No problem, we're going to deck 18.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::listening to the CO speak::

Admiral_Tierney says:
CTO:  You waiting for anything in particular out here, Commander?  ::Grins under her breath.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::hugs her husband::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: So why did they think we should play around the holodeck then?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Nods and stands quietly for the ride to Deck 18::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Have you ever evaluated a program before?

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Blinks at the sudden news and walks over to the far wall and just leans against it, waiting patiently::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Adm: Yes, although I can't exactly say what that is.  Some kind of program, not sure what to make of it exactly.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: No, Ma'am. First time anyone’s asked me for my opinion.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
:: Motions for the XO to come along and makes his way into the holo-deck::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::follows him quietly:: CMO: William? Please let me help.  She was to be our children’s god mother.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
Self: Might be the last.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: grins :: OPS: It's not difficult. The Admiral just wants an honest opinion so just let her have it.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Adm: Any warnings on what this program is about?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::follows behind the CO into the holodeck::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Shakes head:: FCO: I am fine. Please they are waiting for us. ::Walks into the Holodeck::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Yes, Ma'am. I'll do my best.

Admiral_Tierney says:
CTO:  Starfleet Academy is really looking forward to your crew endorsing the program.  I haven't had much time to review it myself.  From what I understand Captain Finkleberry will be briefing you on the program.  But I do however have some information for your Captain unrelated to the program.  Is he inside?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: sees the doors open :: OPS: This way. :: points down the corridor ::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Follows her::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::follows him silently::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Adm: Yes sir, I believe he is.  ::Waits for the Admiral to enter first.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Getting impatient:: XO:  Where is this Captain Uttaberry person?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: notices the XO entering the holodeck ahead of them :: OPS: There's the XO.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Uh oh, I hope we ain't late.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: I don't know.  This is demeaning of our crew, in my opinion.

Admiral_Tierney says:
::Enters the holosuite and looks around, noticing the big Klingon Captain right away.  Nods graciously to the CTO for holding the door, and then walks over to the CO.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
OPS: Think they'd start without the two most important officers?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: William please stop being Vulcan and let the human side of you come out to grieve for her.  ::is unsure of what he will do next::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM:  Admiral, I was not expecting to see you here.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Gives the FCO only a glance before turning back to the situation at hand::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Enters the Holodeck, looking about at the walls, a bit disappointed the program wasn't running already, wanting to know what this is about.::

Admiral_Tierney says:
CO:  Greetings, Captain.  I won't take up too much of your time since I know this program is on a schedule.  I wanted to give you some information that Starfleet Intelligence wanted me to pass on to you and your crew that were on the bridge when Counselor Talora passed.   ::Hands him a padd.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::stands straighter::  Adm: Admiral.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::tears form for Talora once again::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Who? Oh, us. ::Smiles and relaxes a little.  Sometimes Commander Naug looks at me in a weird way, like he wants to eat me for breakfast or something.  ::Timidly enters holodeck right behind CEO::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Accepts the PADD from the Admiral::

Admiral_Tierney says:
XO:  Good morning, Commander.  How's the misses and the little ones?

Admiral_Tierney says:
CO:  I'll leave it up to you to view later and brief your crew when you see fit, Captain.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ADM: Aye sir.

Admiral_Tierney says:
CO:  Has all your crew arrived, Captain?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
Adm: They are fine.  The little warriors are growing up fast. Braylin drew her first blood not long ago.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: reaches the doorway :: OPS: Just don't look at him in the eyes. He can sense fear. :: walks inside ::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::glances at the CEO and OPS as they walk in and eyes the OPS officer and grins::

Admiral_Tierney says:
::Cringes a bit.::  XO:  And I hear that makes a Klingon father quite proud.  Congratulations, Commander.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::says nothing but stands next to her husband and wipes the tears away::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Yes, Ma'am. ::Taking her seriously::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: sees Icky and smiles :: OPS: If the XO gives you any problems just tell Commander Ec'Thel'lon, he has the Captain's ear. :: chuckles ::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sees XO but, avoids eye contact::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Smiles back at the CEO and walking over.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CEO: Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Admiral_Tierney says:
::Waits for the CO to check the crew's presence.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: I do believe that is everyone sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
:: Looks around:: ADM: Yes sir, they are all here.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Looks around the holodeck to see who and what is here::

Admiral_Tierney says:
ALL:  Then if I can have your attention, please, everyone.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Stands at attention::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::looks at the Admiral::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Hurries the last few steps to the CEO before coming to attention.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Gives the Admiral his undivided::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks in the Admiral's direction ::

Admiral_Tierney says:
ALL:  The holographic training program will begin shortly.  The program will end once your mission is complete.  The details of that mission will be given to you by Captain Finkleberry.  He will be with you shortly.   Once I leave the holodeck, my exit will trigger the program to begin.

Admiral_Tierney says:
ALL:  The program will not end until the mission is complete.  Are there any questions?

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
Adm: Question, sir. Where are we to begin in this mission? On the bridge of a starship, or will that all be explained once it's started?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers to Icky :: CTO: Any idea what this program is all about?

Admiral_Tierney says:
CMO:  Details of the mission will be explained by Captain Finkleberry once he arrives.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I wish I had an idea.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Nods::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Wonders if he is dressed right. His uniform is itchy::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Adm: Question sir, is this Captain Finkleberry part of the program or is he a real individual?

Admiral_Tierney says:
FCO:  Good question, Commander.  Captain Finkleberry is part of the program.  Upon my exit, he will appear to you all.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Admiral: Noted and thank you sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Whispers:: XO: The Dingleberry isn't even real?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: This just gets worse and worse.  ::whispering::

Admiral_Tierney says:
ALL:  If there is nothing else, then I will leave you to Captain Finkleberry.  ::Smiles.::

ACTION:  The Admiral leaves the holodeck, the doors close, and a holographic video stream begins.  A holographic image of Captain Finkleberry appears.  The Captain is a brown haired, brown eyed human in his late 40's, about 1.9558 meters tall, and 81.647 kilograms.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: So we take orders from a holodeck program?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::stares at the holographic program’s captain::

Captain Finkleberry says:
ALL:  Greetings crew members.  I would like to take a moment to introduce myself.  My name is Captain Finkleberry, however what you are seeing is my holographic image that I have downloaded into this program.  I have been asked by Starfleet Command to brief you on your mission.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sees the holographic image of a guy::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Analyzes the hologram::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: sees the image and thinks of her late grandfather ::

Captain_Finkleberry says:
ALL:  As you know, Starfleet Academy is constantly looking for new ways to train and prepare our cadets.  Starfleet Command appreciates your comments and feedback on the program once it is complete.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: I hope this is only a program and one with the safeties on as well.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Winces:: FCO: A training program for the Academy...? ::Sighs:: Wonderful how things seem to bring back memories, eh?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Is hoping its something that we'll get dirty doing::

ACTION:  The lights in the holodeck flicker, and the holo-Captain Finkleberry program sputters.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: Yes, my beloved husband; it does.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
All: That can't be right.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: This must part of the program.

Captain_Finkleberry says:
ALL:  Should you decide to endorse the program, the Academy will begin using this program with next year's class.  Should you reject the program, it will go back to the programmers for revamping with any comments and recommendations that you provide us with.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Whispers.::  CEO: Do we get to play "role switching" from the Academy when they had a substitute?

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Furrows his eyebrows:: CO: I'd be ready for anything, sir...

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: As would I.

Captain_Finkleberry says:
ALL:  The scene that you will be placed in is as follows.  You will be on board a Type-6 Personnel Shuttle that is about to land on an M-Class planet (similar to early 20th century earth).  The shuttle is heavily damaged.  The cause is due to an ion storm that you encountered.

Captain_Finkleberry says:
ALL:  Your shuttle is now entering the planet's atmosphere, and the gravity of the planet is pulling you in.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: whispers and chuckles :: CTO: Which role did you have in mind Icky?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::softly:: Oh great, another Ion storm?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::First recommendation to program programmers, stop the flickering::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
FCO: Get ready to do some serious maneuvering.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Doctor.  Gotta play Doctor.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: It looks like it, my love.

Captain_Finkleberry says:
ALL:  Systems are intermittent, and a lot of the circuitry on the shuttle has been fried.  The details of what works and what doesn't work will be determined by your crew once the program begins.  On the shuttle, you will have weapons and supplies that would normally be stocked on a ...

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ALL: Whose piloting this scrap heap?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Why Icky, you don't get enough practice now? :: winks ::

ACTION:  Captain Finkleberry's image begins to fade in an out.  The room shakes and Finkleberry's image disappears.  The lights fail, leaving the crew in complete darkness; and then the regular lighting comes back on with the holosuite grid being displayed.  There is silence.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ALL: wejpuH [charming – as in sarcastic remark].

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
All: Okay, what is going on?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Some program .. can't even get it to work.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Curses loudly and pulls out his medkit, just in case::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
XO: Don't be too sure.  This may be also part of the program.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: grabs Icky's hand for a moment as the light fades ::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All: Nice program, not. It don't even work.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::waits patiently::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
Computer: Arch.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ALL: Well if that's it, then I'm afraid I'm going to have to withhold my endorsement.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
CO: Quick mission, huh.

ACTION:  There is no response to the CTO's command.  The empty hologrid is still displayed.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All: So, now what do we do?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
All: Ok, I'll check the grid controls.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: Oh Bleak.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::continues to wait::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves to the wall to access the panel ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::stays close to her husband::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::taps his comm badge::  *Station OPS*:  Cmdr  Naug here.  There is a problem with the holodeck.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Be careful, if the arch isn't available, no telling what else isn't.  ::Follows her carefully.::

ACTION:  There is a huge shaking in the holosuite, and the sounds of metal twisting and crunching can be heard coming from the other side of the holographic door.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: pulls off the access panel :: All: Ut oh, we have a problem here.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: What is it Cmdr.  ::moves to her side::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::tries to maintain her balance::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Hears noises outside::

ACTION:  There is no response to XO's comm.  Just static.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Furrows eyebrows again and watches the holographic door::

ACTION:  The holosuite shakes violently and light smoke begins to seep under the exit.  It smells like something is on fire on the other side.  Red warning lights flash in the holodeck and the klaxons can be heard coming from outside the holosuite.  The sounds of people screaming and scrambling to stations can be heard coming from the other side.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO: Why am I not surprised?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Captain, it looks like something fried the circuitry, could be a phaser discharge.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: Commander, take a look.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
All: This is not what I had expected.  I thought the simulation was to be on the inside and not on the outside.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All: You think this is still the program or are we experiencing technical difficulties?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::Looks at the console::  CEO: I do believe you are right.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
OPS: It could be both.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Motions for Commander Naug to help him with the door::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
All: Anyone bring a tricorder?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: You ready to play, Sir.  ::grinning::

ACTION:  Smoke beings to fill the holosuite from the back side of the room.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: William, do you have a tricorder::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
OPS: Does it change things?  First things first, figure out what to do next.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Attempts to grip the door and pull it open::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::grabs the door with the CO and pulls::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
ALL: We have smoke coming in people. We have to work fast.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Steps over to give the Command Staff a hand.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: fiddles with the controls as best she can ::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Straining on the door::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Self: Great I am pregnant and they throw a simulation in on us.  How quaint of Starfleet to do this to us.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Goes to where the smoke is coming in::

ACTION:  The CO and XO manage to open the holographic door.  People are scrambling to stations.  The noise is much louder and the station shakes violently as if under attack from something.

Station Security says: 
::Broadcasting over station communications::  Out loud:  All personnel report to your stations and vessels.  This is not a drill.  Starbase 42 is under attack by an unknown enemy.  Intruder alert.  All personnel.  Report immediately for duty.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Sees they got the door open::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Not sure if the training program is such a bad idea now.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::grabs a running officer::   Officer:: Who is attacking?

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Walks over and grabs the OPS away from that side of the room:: OPS: What are you doing? Smoke equals not good for lungs. Let's go.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Huron*:  Huron this is Captain Q'tor. Report!

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::doesn't wait but heads for the Huron:: Self: I have to get to the ship and get her ready.

ACTION:  Station communications cease.  They have been taken out by the attackers.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CMO: Let me go, Doc. I was just looking.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves towards the doorway, ushering people out ::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Steps through the door, looking for a weapons locker.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
ALL:  Everyone stay put.  No running off; that means you Cmdr .  ::pointing to the FCO::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
OPS: Curiosity killed the cat, and I don't have time for autopsies.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::stops quickly::

Officer Dannon says: 
XO:  We don't know where they came from!  They uncloaked out of nowhere.  There are several hundred of the ships.  ::Pulls away from the XO.::  We must get to our stations.  ::Runs off.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Should we go check on the ship? Maybe we can be of more help from there.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::looks at the CO::  CO: Romulans.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::walks back quickly::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: leaves the holosuite and looks for any engineers ::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
CO: Uncloaked? Romulans?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
OPS:  Faster if the ship uses the transporters.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: I hope Hotshot has her warmed up already.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Huron*: Captain Q'tor to the Huron, Report!

Lt. Parker says: 
*CO*:  Captain, several hundred vessels uncloaked just a few minutes ago.  We are under attack. Vessels unknown.  We are engaging the enemy but there are so many of them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::blinks::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
:: Ignores the Doctor:: CO: I could try to find a working COM and see if the ship's transporter room is uncompromised. Maybe they can beam us there?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: moves down the corridor :: XO: Commander, we need to get to the Huron.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
*Medic*: This is the CMO. Prepare to receive injured and casualties. Secure sickbay.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: They'd need to lower shields to beam us aboard, assuming they undocked.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: The captain just commed them, Cmdr.  We'll be there shortly.  Don't worry.

Medic says: 
@*CMO*: Yes, sir. ::Rushes off to secure sickbay::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir we need to get to the Huron and quickly.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::shaking off the intense feelings of fright and terror and surprise::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Finds a weapons locker, inputting access code before drawing 7 Type II Phasers.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: Sir, we can't let then take the station.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
*Huron Transporter Room*: If any one is there, beam onto the senior crew in holodeck suite 2 and prepare to beam us aboard.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
CO: This might still be our program. Should we still get to the shuttle bay? We could meet up with the Huron at a later time if they escaped now.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
*Huron*: Lower station side shield and beam the senior staff aboard.

Lt. Parker says: 
*CO*:  We are ::Static:: under attack.  Shields holding, but we are taking heavy hits.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: If the station is compromised........:: pauses and looks at him ::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Takes the Phasers and hands them out.::  All: Just in case, be ready.  If in doubt, open fire.  They're set for stun already.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::hears the CO::   ALL: Everyone prepare to transport.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: The station is compromised and I remember the intruder alert so that would mean that the enemy is onboard the station.

ACTION:  The lower station side shield is lowered, and the CO and senior staff are beamed to the Huron's bridge, weapons and all that the CTO just distributed.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: takes a phaser reluctantly ::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CMO: I'm well aware of that Doctor, but we can't make that assumption.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::looks around::  ALL: Get to stations,

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Duty Officer: Status report!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
FCO: Get us out of dock.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Rushes over to the CSO Station and sits down, fingers flying across the panel, giving direction to Sickbay at the same time::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: rushes to the engineering console and accesses the data ::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Takes his station at OPS::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::doesn't wait and makes for her station and does the quick flight check and brings the thrusters on line and backs the Huron out of dock and free of the station::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Trying to get a station report to see if we can find out what's happened::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: We are free of the station.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Red alert!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Moves to Tactical, taking over.::  CO: Assuming we're taking free fire, returning fire on ships the computer has identified as hostile.

Lt. Parker says: 
::Puts the viewscreen on displaying the enemy fleet attacking Starbase 42.::  CO:  They just uncloaked out of nowhere.  Their vessels .. they are not pulling up in the database.  They're using some kind of energy weapons that are quickly disabling shields.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: They're already there, sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Plasma weapons?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Martin*: What's our status down there?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CTO:  Keep the shields remodulating.  Perhaps that will hold our shields longer.

Lt. Parker says: 
FCO:  It would seem so.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CMO:  Get a reading on those weapons and send it to Commander Sparks.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Checking ship's systems::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Self: Oh hell.......::does a dive and rolls::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
XO: Pushing Nuation into the energy ranges rather than impact ranges, putting my backup on analyzing weapons to make it more effective.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CEO:  See if you can find a way to strengthen the shields against their weapons.

EO Lt. JG Martin says: 
*CEO*: We're still fine, Holly. Will keep you informed.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::brings the Huron around and points her straight at the station::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CO: Aye sir, I'm on it.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Nods:: CO: Yes sir. ::Turns back to the console and starts sending a readout to the CEO from scans of the weapons.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CMO: Scan those ships, find out anything you can about them.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Okay captain, where do you want me to park her?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Keeping the frequency of shields changing at random::

ACTION:  As the Huron breaks free of dock, about fifteen of the enemy vessels break attack from the station and alter course to intercept the Huron.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
XO: Scanning now, sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: nods to the CMO as the data begins scrolling across the screen ::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO:  Maintain evasive maneuvers.  If we're hit, it'll be your head!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: We got company.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::continues to plot escape courses and attack vectors::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Reinforce aft shields.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
OPS: I see them....::watches intently for any deviation of course::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Prepare a full spread of torpedoes, wide dispersal pattern.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Engaging nearest incoming ship, full Phaser spread.  Torpedoes launching on intercept routes to veer them off.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Gives added support to aft shields::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
XO: I'm getting a reading of Plasma Energy Weapons, sir.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
*Martin*: We need to reinforce the shields against those weapons. Divert all you can to that purpose. Shut down all unnecessary systems and reroute.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Prepare to go to warp speed.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Security*: Prepare for boarding parties, break out all weapons, set to heavy stun and distribute.  Secure Engineering, Computer Core, and Flight deck first.  Bridge is covered.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: On your mark, escape vector is input.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: All systems a-okay, Sir. All damages confined to station.

ACTION:  The attacking vessels move into attack formation, firing at random on the Huron, taking shields down to 75%.

EO Lt. JG Martin says:
*CEO*: We're doing that Commander. Sending all power to the shields.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CTO: Where do you want me to put her?

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
XO: I would assume that the ship itself is run with the same energy, but I cannot be sure. It's made up of a strange alloy not known to us. We're in the dark on this one sir. Still trying to find a hole somewhere.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Scratch that, shields down by 25%.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Fires all Phasers on nearest ship.::  FCO: Pattern Gamma, computer will alter my targeting to match.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CEO: Is there a way to counter plasma through our phasers?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Allocates power for shields from non essential systems::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
OPS: Keep me going with the engines.  I am gonna need them.

ACTION:  The vessels continue to fire on the Huron taking shields down to 50%, warp engines go offline.  The attacking vessels attacks are concentrated on shields and warp engines.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
FCO: Yes, Ma'am.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::inputs pattern gamma ::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: I want full reverse in warp power for .5 seconds on my mark...

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CTO: Gamma pattern input.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Understood.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: They can hit pretty hard, whoever they are.  Shields taking a pounding.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Now!

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
CO: We just lost warp engines sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::taps her console::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
XO: We're working on it sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Out loud: Augusfratt that wasn't fair!!!

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
ALL: Quy'vatlh!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Icky, can you reconfigure a torpedo with plasma?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
FCO: Bring us around!

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: I can't get her moving in warp.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO: Fire all weapons!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: Would take time, but it could be done.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: No time like the present?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir, she is around.....::taps the console again to attempt to get a better firing angle::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Working on shield reinforcement::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Doing that already, Captain.  Concentrated fire, taking them out as I can.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
Out loud: Where is a God when you need one...::growls and keeps scanning::

ACTION:  The vessels continue their attack on the Huron, taking shields down to minimal, causing power to decrease all over the ship.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::blinks at her husband’s outburst::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
OPS:  Have all non essential personnel report to shelters, and shut down all nonessential sections.  Reroute power to shields.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir, I am losing helm control here.  Power systems are going down and taking the ships maneuverability with it.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
All: I sure hope this is still a holodeck program. If it is, it’s a good one.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
OPS: You got that straight.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

ACTION:  Several holes can be seen on Starbase 42, dead bodies floating in space, the attacking vessels continuing their assault on the station.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
OPS: It is far better than the one I was put through.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Begins evacuation procedures::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
CTO:  Keep firing!  Deplete the phaser banks if you have to!

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
All: Get ready, either we'll have visitors or we'll need to move to Evac stations.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
CO: If I might make a suggestion sir, Escape pods. We're loosing the Huron, sir. ::Turns back to the console and it dies completely, sparking:: Lost Science, sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CO: Sir the station, it looks like Swiss cheese......

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Aye Captain, as long as they will fire, they will fire.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: If they board us, we blow the ship and take as many as we can.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: sends Icky the information on the plasma makeup ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::looks around to see if anyone heard what she just said::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Pulls his meq'leth::  OPS:  All personnel to the escape pods, prepare to abandon ship!

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
Self: T'Lar shut up.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Adapts Phasers and shields to maximize what we can do.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
XO: Who will that help, Sir. I say live to fight another day.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: I'm not losing my ship without a fight!

ACTION:  One of the attacking vessels beams something off the station.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Gives the ship wide order::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: looks over at the Captain ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
OPS: Ships can be replaced, but lives can't.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::takes his blade from his holster on his leg:: CO:   Then we all die with honor and in glory.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
FCO: I couldn't have said it better.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::Looks at her husband::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: I will stay if you stay.  It will be a glorious death.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Altering firing pattern, trying to clear a path out of here, if we can.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Walks away from his dead-consoled post:: *Medic*: Prepare to abandon ship. Take needed medical supplies. We'll need them. Trust me.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Something was just beamed off the station by the baddies, Sir.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Looks around at the bridge crew:: ALL: You heard the order! Report to the escape pods!

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
FCO: I have no intention of dying, T'Lar.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Tries to identify object of interest::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
*Security*: Get the crew to the escape pods, make sure it goes as smooth as possible.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
ALL:  MOVE!  MOVE!  You heard him!

ACTION:  The attacking vessels make their last run at the Huron, causing a total power loss throughout the ship.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: works with her staff to try and get the engines back up ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: Then neither do I, but let it be of record that I did not leave as a coward but as an officer that wants another chance to bury it is that which is attacking this ship.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: Was going to set weapons on a repeating pattern, no point now.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
CO: This way sir.  Don't think you are staying behind.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Pulls his own blade out:: CO/XO: Convenient. ::Rushes towards the Escape pods.::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
::Prepares to receive visitors::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Sir, a somebody was just beamed off the station. Checking to see if it was alive now, Sir.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Damn, just lost OPS.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::pulls her favorite Klingon blade of choice and follows her husband for the escape pods::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
::Grabs the CEO.::  CEO: Let's go, can't do anything from here, and can't get to where you can help.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
OPS: Get a move on Riley...

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
Anyone left: ESCAPE PODS NOW!

Medic says:
::Throws Medical Supplies into an escape pod:: CMO: I'm not going. You go, now.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
:: gets pulled away from her station :: CTO: Agreed, besides I wasn't planning on dying today.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
CO: Sir, my COM died but, I found out the body they just transported off the station, it was alive.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CO: En route, Captain.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
::Gets up to follow the others out::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
CTO: Jessie! Did they get Jessie?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::standing at the doorway::  CO: Captain,  I'm waiting for you; move.  Your orders.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
CMO: You are going, husband.  No arguments.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
::Rushes back to the bridge and Yells at the Captain:: CO: You too! Move it, sir!

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
XO: We have to set the self destruct.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
::hollers out:: CMO: William, come back here. NOW

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
CEO: I don't know, have to think so.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
::nods to the CO::  CMO: MOVE  NOW!!!!
