Mission Prologue:  

Starbase 42 has come under attack from an unknown enemy using plasma energy weapons.  The enemy completely disabled the station and any vessels that attempted to flee or counter-attack, including the USS Huron.  It was detected that someone was beamed off the station just before the enemy retreated.  But who?  And why?  What were the enemies after?

Some of the crew still thinks this may be part of the training program the Huron staff were asked to evaluate.  But is it the training program or is it real?

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

#ACTION:  The CEO/CTO/Angeltra's pod's navigational system shorts out, sending the pod into an unknown direction away from the station.

@ACTION:  The remaining escape pods on Huron are damaged, and not launch capable.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Floating in a pod, wondering where to go next.::  CEO: What's our best bet you think, Station or land on a planet... Oh Ice!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: leans against the seat watching Icky :: CTO: Can you figure out where we are?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: All the remaining pods are damaged and can't be launched. ::slamming his fist on the console in front of him::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Grins.::  CEO: In deep?  Just lost nav, killing thrusters until we figure that out.  Going to have to go the old fashioned way.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::running around the station trying to find the Admiral and there crew of the Huron as they are picked up::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Gets the COM in sickbay to work but, it’s not the greatest fix:: *Ship-wide*: This is the U... Hur... Can anyone .... me?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: tries to check the pod's navigational controls :: CTO: I'm trying to find the problem but I'm not sure I can do much without the right equipment.

@ACTION:  The air on the Huron begins to get stale.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Stands behind the CO and XO and hears the COM:: CO: Sir....?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::taps combadge:: *CMO*: Make sure you have everyone before you leave that ship.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::taps his combadge::  OPS: Why the hell are you still here?  Report to my location at once.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO: I wasn't always a Captain.  I started in engineering.  We can find at least one that I can get launched.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: I know, I know.  We can do this, if the Station has emergency power back up, enough for tractors.  ::Looks out the view ports.::  Just gotta point and shoot.  Sounds simple.

%ACTION:  The FCO's comm is not heard by anyone.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*Ship-wide*: This is En... ...ey.  All escape pods are.... I've sent distress ... to Star... flee.... Comm....

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#:: looks over at Angeltra :: Angeltra: Can you give me a hand?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::taps combadge again:: Out loud: Bloody thing doesn't work.  Now what?

Lt. Angeltra says:  
#CEO: I'll do what I can, what's the plan?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*XO*: Oh, hi Commander.  Where the fr... are you?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: What does work around here???

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::goes to one of pods and grabs the door of the pod to open it::  CO: This looks better than any.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Tries to use quick thruster bursts to get the pod pointed in the general direction of the station.::

%ACTION:  In the corridor of the hallway the FCO is in, a body lies limp in a corner; the body of Admiral Tierney.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#Angeltra: Can you trace the conduit from the control panel to the power relay?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: OH MY GOD Admiral!?!?!?!?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Taps his comm badge:: COM:  This is Captain Q'tor of the USS Huron. To the person sending communications from this ship... Identify yourself!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@*OPS*:  Escape pod just off the shuttle bay; get here and fast.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::runs to her body and gently turns it over to see if she is breathing::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# ::pulls an isolinear chip and checks it ::

%ACTION:  A muffled baby's cry is heard coming from behind the Admiral that is slouched up against the wall.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#CEO: Yes ma'am, tracing away.  ::Pulls out the Tricorder from the Pod and starts checking the conduit.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*CO*: It's me, Riley. I guess.... missed ... boat.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::hears a baby and looks::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@*XO*: On my .... Over and....

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Admiral: I will be right back, I hear a baby....::moves to look::

#ACTION:  As the CTO runs bursts of the thrusters, he overshoots his destination.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@*OPS*: You little QwaHomme! Get to our location now! You have 30 minutes.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Makes his way to the shuttlebay via Corridors and Jeffries Tubes::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Walks over to the XO:: XO: It looks safe enough. How much damage is there to the pod?

%ACTION:  The baby looks up at the FCO and starts to giggle.  He reaches up and grabs the FCO's ear and pulls really hard.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: Remind me never to say "I'll never use seat of the pants flying" to an instructor again.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::moves some of the debris and finds the baby::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Starts going over the escape pod to see if he can repair it enough to get it launched::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: Ohhh you little monster; that hurt.

@ACTION:  One of the Jeffries tubes OPS is in is blocked by debris.  He'll have to go around.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::checking the pod out::  CO: I'm no engineer sir.  What you think?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::Moves back to where the Admiral is and sets the baby down and tends to her Admiral.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#:: smiles :: CTO: Remind me never to use an escape pod again.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Tries to correct the overshoot.::  COM: Starbase 42: If anyone can read this, need assistance.  Pod guidance is shot, unlikely to be able to facilitate docking.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO/CMO: You both realize that even if I get this operational, that with maneuvering thrusters only, we'll never outrun the blast when the old girl blows don't you?

#ACTION:  There is no response to the CTO's COM.  Just static.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::double checks the baby and finds he is okay.  Then checks the Admiral and realizes that she needs medical attention right away::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: I prefer that chance then sitting and waiting for it to blow.

@ACTION:  As the CO, XO and CMO fiddle with the controls on the pod, the pod's door snaps off the hatch they are working on.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::The corridors, with all the wreckage make for a great obstacle course:: Self: Why is everyone so upset, there's half a chance this is all fake.  ::Stops in front of an access panel, opens it and crawls inside lying onto of his board he glides through the Jeffries tube::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: I'll try my best to make that happen, or not happen.  Don't sound like no one's home, though.  Going to try and stop us, not going to chance the landing on manual control.  Not my manual control anyway.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::taps her combadge again:: COM: Station Infirmary: This is Lt. Cmdr. Stradiot.  I need immediate medical attention for Admiral Tierney. She is badly wounded and needs help.  I also have a baby boy who is unharmed.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: hands Angeltra the chip :: Angeltra: See if there's a spare in that emergency kit back there.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Grimaces:: XO/CO: I didn't touch it.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: I hope some one heard me.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::punches the wall::  Out loud: Great!

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: I wish we knew if the docking ports are operational.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#::Twists around and pulls out the emergency kit, looking for the right chip.::  CEO: Give me a minute, not sure what's in here.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::sits there with the baby and the Admiral waiting for help::

Admiral Tierney says:
%::Starts to stir at the sound of the FCO and opens  her eyes for a second, then closes them.  Reaches up with eyes closed.::  FCO:  Please .. take the baby to safety.  This corridor is not safe.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: If not, we just punch through the landing bay force fields.  If we get resistance, it's safe to leave the pod.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Admiral: I will take the baby, but I will not leave you alone either.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#CEO: Is this the right type?  Looks right, but labels don't do much if you don't have the manual.  ::Holds out a chip.::

@ACTION:  The jeffries tube OPS is in slants downward a bit, and sends OPS on a roller coaster ride downward.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: Icky, is there anything left out there? What if ......it's.....gone?

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO: Next pod.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Rides the downward spire of the Jeffries Tube loving every minute of it::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::looks for a piece of metal so she can roll the Admiral on to it and drag her from the corridor and finds one suited to her needs::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Walks over to the next pod and checks the security of the panels and walls::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::moves to the next pod, activates the control on it trying to open the door to see what is damaged about it::

Admiral Tierney says:
%FCO:  Please ::grabs her hand.:: The center of the station is the safest place right now.  Just take him.  You can come back for me.  Please ..

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Admiral: I will have you and the baby out of here in a jiffy.  This might hurt a little.  ::shakes her hand loose::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: runs a tricorder along the control switch :: Angeltra: Any luck?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: One step at a time, it looks bad, but it always does short term.  Worst case scenario helps already on its way when Starfleet lost contact.  As soon as possible we'll get back into the action and make sure Jessie, and all the rest of our friends, are safe.

@ACTION:  The controls on the XO's pod are stuck.  He will have to open it manually.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Reaches the access panel in the shuttlebay and kicks out the cover.  It lands with a loud crash on the shuttlebay floor.  He crawls out and looks around for the Captain::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: Help me sir.  ::Grabs the door to try to manually open it::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: looks at Icky and nods ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::rolls the Admiral on to the metal and sits the baby in the Admiral's arms.  Pulls the Admiral along with the baby out of harms way into the center of the station::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Shakes head and starts trying to pull the door open::

Admiral Tierney says:
%::Groans in severe agony.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: Some one get me a medic.  The Admiral is hurt badly!!!

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Grabs the door and tries to pull it open.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: takes the chips from Angeltra and looks them over :: Angeltra: This one looks right.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Admiral: Sorry about the pain but I would not leave you there at any cost.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::holds the baby while she waits for a medic::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: replaces the chip into the slot :: All: Okay, let's see if this works.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#CEO: Good, crossing fingers.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Sees the Captain and the others, and approaches with some trepidation::  CO: Reporting as ordered, Sir.

%ACTION:  The corridors are silent.  Just dead bodies lying around, the emergency force fields in place and holding the station corridor together.  The FCO can now hear sounds of the corridors groaning, as if the corridor is going to collapse.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#All: And keeping antenna uncrossed.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Looks at the OPS officer::  OPS: Don't just stand there.  Help us get this door open.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: Oh crap.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: Yes, Sir. ::Goes in to assist::

Medic says: 
%::Rushes over to the FCO:: FCO: Oh goodness...You can't be staying here! It's not safe!

@ACTION:  The pod hatch flies open and the XO flies backward landing on OPS.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: closes the panel and waits ::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: Ouch. I mean, it's open now, Sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Admiral: I guess you were incorrect about the center of the station.  From what I hear.........Medic we need to move and now!!!

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Lands on OPS::  OPS: Sorry, now help the captain get this pod operational. ::sees the board::   Is that the reason you are still here?  ::not looking very happy to him.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@OPS: Don't just do something! Sit there!

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
%::Just looks at the FCO and rolls her eyes:: FCO: I just said that, thank you very much. ::Picks up the Admiral with ease and rushes off down the corridor::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: I couldn't say why I'm still here, Sir.  But, everybody has to be somewhere, I suppose.  ::Enters shuttle, takes a station and gets busy::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::goes flying after her with the baby on her hip::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Looks at the CO:: CO: Uhh, sir? The pod.

#ACTION:  The navigational system sputters, sparks fly toward Angeltra.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#::Tries to jump back, but stops quick at the bulkhead.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#Angeltra: Look out!

#ACTION:  The chip then dies.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: Aye, Sir. ::The two angry Klingons are scaring him.  He thinks he shoulda taken his chances with the exploding ship::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::enters the POD::  OPS: We'll talk about that later.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Begins checking the POD out::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: Aye, Sir. I'm sure we will, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: How can I be of assistance sir.  ::looking around the pod::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: quickly reopens the panel :: CTO: Back to the drawing board.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: How bad is the Admiral?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: I'm guessing that's not what should have happened.  I'm going to try a back door, if the station tractors still work, might be able to access from here.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Begins flight check protocols and shuttle system diagnostic::

Medic says:
%::Reaches the safe house and places the Admiral on a makeshift biobed:: FCO: Doesn't look good at all...I couldn't tell you how bad though.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO:  Help me get some power flowing and check the structural integrity.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Self: Oh man, this is going to get me busted back down ensign for my actions.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO/CO: I did get a status report off to SFC, if anyone is interested, Sirs.

@ACTION:  OPS is able to get the shuttle operational.  All pre-flight checks are confirmed okay.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#::Attempts to tie a Tricorder into the ship's comm system, hoping to remote operate the station tractor beams and pull us in.::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: From the beating the station was taking, I expect that most of the systems are down.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: The Admiral needs the services of my husband.  He is the ships doctor and familiar with her history.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: Sir, the shuttle is flight worthy, Sir. All systems check.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::checks the power flow and runs a diagnostic on the structural field::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@OPS: If we can be sure it really went out.

#ACTION:  There is no link that can be established between CTO and the station tractor beams.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: Probably, but it is a low priority target.  Nope, nothing there.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Turns to look at the OPS:: CO/XO: If the shuttle works, then we'd be able to get out of here before the explosion.

#ACTION:  The CTO/CEO/Angeltra's pod starts to drift further off course.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: If this is reading right, we have power and the structural field is fine.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: Now we gotta figure out how to get the shuttlebay doors open, or have we figured that out already?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CMO: If we can get out of the blast in time.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: Well I'm sure someone will figure out we're missing at some point and come looking.

Medic says:
%FCO: How nice for him. However, he isn't here now is he? I'm from the Huron as well. Leave me to my work. I'm sure you can help out elsewhere.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@XO: Better than an escape pod would.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: I can help out right here. That is my Admiral, and she is not going to die.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: I'm not worried about us.  We're in a well stocked pod, even if it is damaged.  But we need to help, find out what happened.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@CMO/OPS: Strap yourselves in.  We're probably going to have to launch manually.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Does as instructed::  All: This should be fun.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::brings weapons online:: CO: Phasers ready to fire on your mark.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO/Angeltra: Either of you actually remember your unassisted flight training?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Checking to see if he can get anything on the shuttles COM::

%ACTION:  The FCO begins to get hungry.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Jumps into the shuttle and grabs a chair at a station:: CO: Am I flying?

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: Communications are out, navigation is kaput and no one knows where we are, and you want to find help? Are you a miracle worker Icky?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: Oh man now is not the time for you two kids to get hungry.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: No, I just play one on the Holovid network.  ::Smiles.::  We'll be fine, comm badges have enough range to call for help.  If there was someone left to call.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: You have any type of food stores here?

Medic says:
%FCO: Down the corridor...we have boxes of rations. Cardboard type. Go.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Can't get anyone from the station on the COM but, keeps trying::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: Sorry Icky, I guess I'm just worried about Jessie and Nanny Grace.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::takes off down the corridor and finds the rations and grabs some to take back to the medic and anyone else that arrives that might be hungry::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Looks over the flight console and instantly remembers everything from the Academy about flying:: OPS: You flying or shall I?

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: So am I.  That's why I'm not waiting on others to help.  Just want to know if either of you had a better chance of landing this hunk of tritanium.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::comes stumbling back with the rations and makes a nice pile near the bio bed::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CMO: I'd like to see the Captain fly. But, it's up to him.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: Well I brought back enough rations for you and myself and the Admiral and anyone else that needs.  ::begins to munch on the rations wrinkling her nose at the taste::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: I'm an engineer, and I wouldn't trust myself with control. You or the Lieutenant here better try.

Baby Taurik says: 
%::Starts to cry .. the hungry cry.::

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Jumps into the flight chair:: CO/XO/OPS: We ready to go?

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CMO: I was born ready.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Straps himself in:: XO: I would advise you to get us out of here as quickly as possible.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#CTO: I haven't tried it in ages, but I did OK in the Academy.  No promises, though.  ::Moves to the controls.::  Yeah, I think I can do this.  Would advise holding tight, though.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CMO:  Move; I'll take this.

@ACTION:  As the CO/XO/CMO/OPS contemplate who will be flying, there is a loud crunching noise.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::bounces him up and down:: Baby Taurik:  Shhhhh I will find you something to eat..

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Moves out of the seat and sits next to the CO in the only chair left and straps himself in::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@All: You hear that?

@ACTION:  Part of the ceiling falls toward the shuttle and then stops just short of hitting it.  But a loud crackling noise can be heard.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@OPS: Arm phasers and blast the doors the open.  We are leaving now.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: You have baby formula somewhere near here?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::Lifts the shuttle up and waits for the doors to be blown::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: As long as he recalls the procedures, we'll be fine  ::Smiles and straps in.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: But, what about the crash?  ::Arms phasers::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@OPS: Never mind that crash if you want to live.  Fire!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Fires at the shuttlebay doors::

Medic says:
%::Grimaces:: FCO: Look in the rations. If you want this Admiral to live, leave me be! Jeez...don't know why he married you...::Turns back to her work::

@ACTION:  The shuttle sensors go off.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: grabs something solid on one side of her and Icky on the other :: CTO: If you say so.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: Checking why sensors went off::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::blood boils:: Medic: She dies and you go with her; is that clear!!

#ACTION:  The solid object the CEO is grabbing is Angeltra's leg.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::moves off to find the baby some formula::

Lt. Angeltra says:
#All:  Initiating.  ::Starts bringing the pod in, trying to ignore the cramped quarters and contact.::

Medic says:
%::Grumbles and tries her best to fix up the Admiral::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::looks out the front window to see if the doors are clear letting OPS worry about the sensors::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Checking sensor readings::

@ACTION:  The shuttle doors blast free, and just as the shuttle exits, the ceiling smashes down behind the shuttle as it takes off, barely missing her.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::finds some rations marked formula and makes the baby's bottle and shoves the bottle in his mouth::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@ALL: We are out and clear; setting course for the station.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Breathes a sigh of relief:: CO: We DID set the Self-destruct, yes?

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::engages at full impulse::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@All: That was close.  Sensors say the ceiling just missed us.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::walks back to the Medic and takes up station there waiting and watching for more of the creeps that did this to the station and her second home::

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: squeezes tightly :: CTO: You sure he remembers how?

Lt. Angeltra says:
#::Nudges the shuttle for the bay doors, hoping to feel the resistance of the force field at the opening.::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: He says he does, so he does.  Doesn't mean he knew it well, but I trust him to be by the book.  More than me in this case for certain.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: We’ll reach the station in about 10 to 15 minutes.

#ACTION:  There is no resistance of the force field.  The force field at that section is down.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@OPS: Good thing we left when we did.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: If we get out of this in one piece, remind me take a refresher course in...everything!

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: Yes Sir. I'm glad this shuttle works.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#All: Not good, I think we can land, but we're going to land in vapor.  No atmospheric shield holding things in.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@OPS: If you had obeyed orders you wouldn't have needed a shuttle.  And over a stupid piece of wood.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@::Nods at the XO as he continues to grip his armrests::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: I can't get anybody on the COM. Must be a relay thing, what with the damage to the station.  I'll keep trying to find our crew though, Sir. I'm sure everybody is okay.

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: We can't be good at everything, but I'll remind you.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#Angeltra: Just get us down. There should be environmental suits somewhere around here.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@XO: If I had obeyed orders, you'd still be messing with escape pods.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Shakes head at the OPS talking back::

%ACTION:  The Admiral drifts off into unconsciousness.

Lt. Angeltra says:
#CEO: Yes, of course.  Setting down, 10 seconds and counting.  ::Fingers start flying to bring the pod down soft.::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::turns his head and glares at OPS for him to shut up::  OPS: Locate any pods that need assistance.  ::saying in a stern voice::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::watches the baby as he drinks and watches the Medic::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: Well how is she?

%ACTION:  Baby Taurik stops drinking and lets out a very loud burp, and then spits up on the FCO just a little bit.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@OPS:  Set sensors to detect all escape pods in the area.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CMO: Look for any life signs.  Help Mr. Riley locate pods.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Baby Taurik:  It figures.  I guess you ate a little to fast my boy.  ::wipes the milk off and continues to feed him::

Medic says:
%::Completely ignores the FCO and tries to find the right medication::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Pushes his skateboard under his seat more:: XO: And I didn’t stay behind to get my skateboard. I got it after I discovered all remaining escape pods damaged and thought I'd need a plan B to survive, Sir. And, I've been looking for our crew already, Sir. ::Getting steamed up::

Baby Taurik says:
%::Smiles a big smile at the FCO and continues to drink.::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@CO: On it, Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@::trying really hard to control his rage at OPS and focuses on flying the shuttle::

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@:: Shuts up and does his work::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: Any idea what's up with the comm system?  Is it a power issue, or something else?

@ACTION:  A "very" large boom is picked up on the shuttles sensors.  The Huron explodes like a fireworks show.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Looks over the scans:: XO: So far, I don't see anything.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@All: The Huron has been destroyed.

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Blinks:: CO: I guess you did set it....::Sighs::

@ACTION:  The FCO feels a sudden loss.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: Perhaps now we can get that new ship you have been wanting

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@ALL: Everyone hang on tight.

Medic says:
%::Injects Vasokin into the Admiral::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@OPS: reinforce aft shields.   ::keeps the shuttle flying straight away::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Out loud: Oh my god......the Huron....the people on her.....gone.......::buries her head in the baby and cries::

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO: One that will allow us to track down those responsible for this and take our revenge.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
#CTO: Unknown Icky, could be anything, but likely something with the power.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Thinks - I guess I don't have to worry about cleaning up my quarters now::

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: To victory, glory and honor.

%ACTION:  The Admiral begins to stabilize but is very weak from the loss of blood.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::lifts her head as the Admiral seems to be stabilizing somewhat::

CTO_Cmdr_Ec`Thel`Ion says:
#CEO: OK, I'm going to see if I can figure a way out of here without help.  Angeltra will work with you; see if we can get anything working on this hunk.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: I know it may sound barbaric to you but if I can help the Admiral by giving you some of my blood would it help her?

CMO_Lt_Stradiot says:
@::Sings quietly to himself...:: Self: May it be, an evening star...

%ACTION:  Baby Taurik reaches up and grabs the FCO's nose and doesn't let go.

Medic says:
%FCO: No. I don't know what blood type you are or what blood type she is. It could kill her if it was wrong.

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::takes the baby’s hand in hers and pries the child’s hand off her nose:: Baby Taurik: Now, now; that wasn't nice of you son.  Shhhhh go to sleep now.

OPS_Ens_Riley says:
@::Still kind of angry. Can't understand why the ship had to be destroyed. Hopes SFC sends Captain Q'tor a huge bill for damages::

Baby Taurik says:
%::Giggles and pulls on the FCO's hair.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: I am O negative.  You can do a simple test to find out.  You have the equipment here.

XO_Cmdr_Naug says:
@CO: approaching the station sir.  Should be coming up in the forward window about now.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: hands Icky a suit :: CTO: Take this and be careful.

CO_CAPT_Q`tor says:
@XO: What sort of energy readings are we getting from the base?

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%::plays with the baby watching the Medic::

Medic says:
%FCO: Don't you see? I have no equipment at all. I'm doing the best I can. Shove off, miss.

CEO_Cmdr_Sparks says:
# :: kisses him gently :: CTO: For luck. :: smiles ::

FCO_LtCmdr_Stradiot says:
%Medic: Then I suggest you find it then.
