OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Okay, time for your power rerouting plan.  Reroute power from the Erie into the EPI screens.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Prepare for evasive maneuvers.  Engage on my mark.

SO_Brehgorn says:
CSO:  We must disable the EPI screens.  They are wreaking havoc on our power supply!

OPS_Kerst says:
*CNS* Lewis is on the way,

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: We need to drop the EPI screen, it's already overloaded and has caused a fire.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Disengage our shields from the Klingon ship.  FCO: Engage Evasives!

FerengiCTO says:
%FCO: Right, no problem, I'll just do everything.  ::Mumbles under breath::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Fire on that Ferengi vessel and don't stop until you have disabled their ship!

CNS_West says:
*OPS* Thank you.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Yes, Sir!  ::Starts fighting the fire with his damage control teams::

OPS_Kerst says:

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: Try the EPI screens now!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Open a channel to the Ferengi.

FerengiCTO says:
%FCO: We've lost lower shields.

SO_Brehgorn says:
CO/CTO: Ferengi shield are substantially degraded!

FerengiPirateCO says:

FerengiCTO says:
%::Raises remaining shields

CSO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Attempts to stabilize the emitters::

CTO_Marek says:

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: I could try over saturating their engines with an ionization field and disabling them.

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO/CSO: I'll try to boost the power to the tractor beam.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Do not allow them to get away.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Direct hit at engines.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Fires photon torpedoes:: 

FerengiCTO says:
%FCO: Got any bright ideas?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Are their shields down?  If so we can beam a few photons into the engines and destroy them.

FerengiPirateCO says:
%FCTO: Take your phaser.

FerengiCTO says:
%FCO: Power loss all over the ship.

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Good job.

FerengiCTO says:
%::Grabs phaser::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Activates the environmental control systems to suck out all the smoke in Main Engineering::

FCO_Svelth says:
::Halts the Erie::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Lock a tractor beam onto the Klingon vessel.  We are going to tow her back to the station.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Heavily damaged, main power is out and it looks like the Ferengi beamed a section from engineering onto their ship. My guess is they stole the main cloak.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Minor damage to the Copperfield generator.  I'll have it back online in a little while, Sir.  One engineer slightly burned, Sir.  He should be in Sickbay now.  ::Walks over to the Copperfield generator::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir, locking tractor beam.  ::Locks tractor onto Klingon ship::

Host CO_Mitchell says:

CEO_Corjet says:
::Giggles a bit, then turns on the Comm. again:: XO: Yes, Sir. I should have it repaired momentarily.  ::Looks it over::  Make that about 20 minutes, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
*CMO* Did Lewis disarmed the Klingons, CMO?

CNS_West says:
*CO* CMO Tae and I have received the Klingon wounded and have no serious injuries to report we are treating them and will detain them here until further notification from you.
