::Hears the CO:: CO: Gladly, Sir!  ::Taps on the console:: CO: Ready!

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir we have cleared the docking boundaries!  Standing by for further orders!

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Confirmed, shields have number one power priority.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Activate Copperfield generator.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Checks the CSO's report and verifies it:: *CSO* Will take care of it.  By passing acknowledged.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Set course for the sphere and prepare for evasive maneuvers.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Does so::  Copperfield generator working at peak efficiency, Sir.

Host James says:
Action: The Erie comes about the station and is in weapons range of the sphere.

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Randy, keep an eye on the power drain.  We're turning on the Copperfield.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sees the Copperfield generator online and watches the diagnostics run:: Self: Okay... ::Sighs:: looking good!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Checks the database to sees if they've received anything on the new Borg technology::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: We are within weapons range, Sir.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Sets course for the sphere and engages:: CO: Aye, Sir, course laid and we're heading to the sphere.  Acknowledged on the evasive maneuvers, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Fire quantum torpedoes, full volley!

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Aye, Sir.  ::Smiles slightly:: Making adjustments as necessary, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir! 

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns, sees the sphere appear on main sensors::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Torpedoes launched. 2 seconds to impact.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* For your information shields have priority for power, then torpedo launches then phasers, everything else and I mean everything, is secondary.

Host James says:
Action: Several quantum torpedoes hit the sphere, minimal damage taken.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Ready phasers!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Evasive maneuver Omega 7.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to his Assistant Engineer and orders her to start monitoring the critical systems.  Then turns back to focus on the Copperfield and EPI systems::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Two direct hits!  Minimal damage.  Self: Darn!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Initiates evasive maneuver Omega 7:: CO: Aye, Sir, initiated!

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Aye, Sir. ::Sets the phasers::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Target the sphere and fire!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Firing again.

Host James says:
Action: The Sphere changes course towards the opening and enters the transwarp conduit.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* Aye! ::Makes note and then sets their priority, according to OPS Kerst:: Done! ::Tunes the Copperfield generator::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Scans the sphere for any weak spots, also brings up data on previous Borg encounters::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The sphere has changed course. I missed it!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Is there any way to close the conduit?

CTO_Marek says:
::Aiming again:: CO: Ready to fire.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Fire!

CTO_Marek says:
::Fires torpedoes::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Hold pattern Omega seven::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, a full spread of torpedoes should do the trick.  ::Hopes::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: 3 seconds to impact!  2...1!

CEO_Corjet says:
<Assistant Engineer> ::Is monitoring the critical systems and quickly makes adjustments to each and every system that needs it::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Target the conduit and fire quantum torpedoes, full spread.  Close the conduit!

Host James says:
Action: After the explosions, the opening is still visible.

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir I don't like how this looks.  Why would a Borg sphere just up and leave like that?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Reads more data::  CO: If not then a static warp shell would do it, though it would require us getting very close to the conduit.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Monitors ship’s power and information link to the station::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Targeting the conduit and firing quantum torpedoes!

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Target the conduit! 

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: I am uncertain, however I am not displeased with it.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Sir, the conduit is still open!

TO_Corjet says:
::Nods::  CTO: I'll try.  ::Aim's at the conduit and fires::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to look over look at the Master Situation Monitor and quickly turns back to the console::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: I just hope there's not something worse on the way.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: Can you tell if they were damaged before we hit them?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Bring us closer to the conduit, slowly, Lieutenant.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to frantically compare data from the Erie to reports in the computer::

CTO_Marek says:
CO/OPS: I need extra power to the phasers!!!!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears OPS::  OPS: Very minimal damage, nothing to force them to leave like that.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir! ::Reduces speed and slowly brings the ship closer to the conduit::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
@::Hails the Erie::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: It would have to come from the shields.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Sir, the Admiral is hailing us.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: On screen.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks around the semi-dark room:: Computer, Lights 80%.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Makes a minor adjustment to the power flow regulators and brings their efficiency up by 3%:: Self: Good!

OPS_Kerst says:
::Puts the Admiral on screen::

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Do it!  We must close the conduit, no matter what the costs!

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
@COM: Erie: Captain, I don't believe that any amount of firepower will close the conduit.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Kootenai: Admiral: Sir?  What do you suggest?

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Assists CEO Corjet with the critical systems::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Pauses before diverting power after hearing the Admiral::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Any suggestions, Lieutenant?

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
@COM: Erie: We have reviewed a lot of the information retrieved by Voyager and believe there is some kind of a transwarp buttress inside the conduit, allowing it to be stable on both ends.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Would bet if they had a fleet of ships firing torpedoes it would destabilize it, but they don't, wishful thinking::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
@COM: Erie: You knock out that buttress, you collapse the conduit.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Sir, how about some sort of pulse to disable their electronic mechanisms?

CTO_Marek says:
::Hears the Admiral on the COM::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: We must enter the conduit.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Kootenai: Admiral: It would require our entering the conduit, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Thinks: Inside the conduit?  How do we get out?::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains speed towards the conduit::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: It could work. 

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: The Borg rely on technology for life don't they?  If we can mess that up, they would all die.

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO Chad> ::Sends a report to CEO Corjet.  Then receives one on the Erie's status::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Frowns and wishes Starfleet had sent this data to them earlier::

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
@COM: Erie: Unfortunately, yes.  I won't order you, because it is quite likely the conduit will collapse on you but we do need to close it before something else comes through.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: You are right.  Be ready to proceed with that on my command.

CTO_Marek says:
::Doesn't like the Admiral's words::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Kootenai: Admiral: Take care of my station, Admiral.  We shall return.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Yes, Sir, give me a moment to set it up.

Host Admiral_Ferrone says:
@COM: Erie: ::Nods:: Good luck, Captain.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Kootenai: Admiral: Thank you, Sir.  Mitchell, out.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Set a course into the conduit.  We are going in.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sees minimal power consumption at Red Alert and wonders what's going on:: *XO* Sir?  Just wondering what's going on, Sir?  ::Wonders if he should even ask::

TO_Corjet says:
::Taps on the console, changing some configurations to emit a pulse on her command::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks at the CO oddly:: CO: You’re the boss! Setting course for the conduit!

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Ready when you are, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at Hicks then at the faces of the senior staff::

CTO_Marek says:
::Continues on thinking that that is not a good idea but what the....!::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Stand by.

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* We're entering the transwarp conduit to attempt to close it.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, if we close the conduit while inside, there's a chance we might get stuck in some other part of this quadrant, or even this galaxy.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sits down in the command chair:: FCO: Engage.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Monitors link to station as they prepare to enter conduit::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged, Commander however we do not have a choice.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Aye, Sir.  ::Keeps the channel open::

MO_Sovok says:
::Taps his COM badge:: *XO* Sir, I know your busy, but could you please inform me on what is going on?

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Full power to the shields.  Maintain the EPI screens and Copperfield Generator.

TO_Corjet says:
::Hears the CTO's thoughts:: CTO: Sir, if you have a better idea, now's a great time to voice it.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks at the CO again and turns back:: CO: Engaged, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Quickly access Starfleet Command’s database::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Shields at 100%.  EPI screens up and running, Copperfield Generator engaged.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CEO* We will require all the power you can give us, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: No, I disagree with you on that.

XO_Hicks says:
*MO* We are entering the transwarp conduit in order to collapse it to keep the Borg from coming back through.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: We are now entering the conduit.  Maintaining course and speed.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  ::Quickly orders his assistant to  head to the shuttlebay:: Captain?  How about shuttle-power augmentation, Sir?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Begin scanning for the buttress.  ::Wonders what a buttress is::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The Sphere is still within sensor range.

TO_Corjet says:
::Half shrugs::  CTO: I'm ready when you are, it's worth a shot.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*CEO* As a backup, Commander.

MO_Sovok says:
*XO* Thank you, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Checks for COM link with station::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Maintains speed and course.

Host James says:
Action: The Erie shudders once it enters the conduit.  Structural Integrity Field and Inertial Dampening Fields are being stressed to maximum tolerance levels.

CEO_Corjet says:
<Assistant Engineer> ::Arrives in the shuttlebay and gets the shuttles ready for power augmentation to the ship:: *CEO* Getting them ready, Sir!

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir, though traveling at the speeds one does inside a conduit like this, sensors will only give us a very short warning before we reach a target, whether it be a buttress or a Borg Cube.  ::Thinks: Or a fleet of them::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Structural Integrity Field and Inertial Dampening Fields are being severely stressed.

CEO_Corjet says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.  ::Staggers a moment then quickly augments the power to the Structural Integrity Field/Inertial Dampening Field systems and activates backup::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: They're above their normal stress levels, Sir!

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Sir I suggest we shut down all unoccupied decks and all non-essential systems.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: You never know with the Borg.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Reroute power from all unnecessary sources.  Evacuate the lower decks and shut them down if you must.

Host James says:
Action: The viewscreen shows a myriad of blending grays, blues and greens swirling past the Erie.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: All other power is going to shields and weapons.  I will have to shutdown life support on some decks to get the extra power.

CEO_Corjet says:
<Assistant Engineer> ::Finalizes the power augmentation from the shuttlecraft to the ship, but doesn't hook up the power conduit:: *CEO* Ready but I haven't linked up the power conduit, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Records the data and images they are encountering, will have to study them later::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Turns to Hicks::  XO: Prepare tri-cobalt devices, 50 kiloton yield.  About 6 should do it.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO* Aye, Ensign!  Good work.  Monitor that system.  Randy, out.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Mains our course and speed inside the conduit::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Do it.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Starts shutting down life support on selected decks and evacuating them. Tries to send additional power to Structural Integrity Field::

XO_Hicks says:
CO: Aye, Sir, I'll see to it myself.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to keep sensors strained as far as possible, hopes nothing overloads::

MO_Sovok says:
::Wonders if any casualties will occur and continues to monitor Sickbay::

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: Shall I try it?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I have some additional power to Structural Integrity Field.  We should hold together, but it may get bumpy with the IDF stressed as they are.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Just keep us together, Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Closely monitors the ships systems and power generators, including the warp core:: Self: Borg! ::Shakes his head as he continues with his duties::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Looks for anything that sticks out, since they've never encountered a buttress before and Starfleet was kind enough not to send them data on them::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Wait.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: ETA to the buttress?

XO_Hicks says:
::Heads to Main Engineering::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: I'll do my best, Sir.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Keeps maintaining the Erie inside the hole::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Mumbles and grumbles about just sitting there.  Sighs and orders the engineering team to check the shuttle’s systems while she checks the power transfer systems::

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: ETA about three minutes, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
::Waits::

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Randy I'm on my way to you, we need to prepare some explosives.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Any extra power you can generate would be appreciated.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Oh and “expediency” is the keyword, Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Aye, Sir.  Any specifications?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Understood, Sir.

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels as though now is a good a time as any to try but waits for Marek’s order::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Set the devices for manual detonation and have them loaded into the aft torpedo launchers.

XO_Hicks says:
*CEO* Tri-cobalt devices, 50 kiloton yield, 6 in number.

CEO_Corjet says:
*OPS* I have my Assistant Engineer in the shuttlebay with shuttle to ship power augmentation.  That’s all that’s left, Sir.  The Captain wanted to use it for a backup.

Host James says:
Action: The Erie experiences a massive "bump" sending people up about a meter or so in the air. Subspace and gravitational shear is increasing as the ship closes on the buttress.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Acknowledged.

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO/CO: Um, after we destroy this buttress, how do we keep from being crushed by the collapsing conduit?

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to take science systems off-line they don't need::

MO_Sovok says:
::Flies through the air and lands on a biobed, yells out as he feels his leg snap::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Flies out of her seat and back down into it again.  Looks at the FCO and raises an eyebrow::

XO_Hicks says:
::Entering Main Engineering::  CEO: Commander.

CEO_Corjet says:
*XO* Aye, Sir. ::Quickly taps those specifications into his console and quickly the replication teams start replicating the Tri-Cobalt devices::

CTO_Marek says:
::Hits the ground::

FCO_Stricker says:
All: Subspace turbulence! Brace yourselves!

OPS_Kerst says:
::Picks himself off the floor::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Now it's time!

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels her body lifted from the floor, coming down hard her hand hit the console accidentally setting off the pulse::

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Hears OPS::  OPS: Hopefully we can turn around and get back to Kootenai before the shockwave catches us.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Hello, Sir. ::Is continuing to tap at his console then has another assistant take over::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Fine time to alert us, Lieutenant.

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels quite jarred, but hopes the pulse works::

Host James says:
Action: Tasha inadvertently initiates the anti-tachyon pulse.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Chuckles slightly at the FCO's statement::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Is sent flying and falls to the floor::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: I'm sorry, Sir but this turbulence didn't reach my navigational sensors until we were hit!

MO_Sovok says:
::Tries to stand up and collapses::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Randy, we'll need to configure the devices for manual detonation.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Report!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Notify me when the devices are ready for launch, Commander.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Looks at the CSO oddly:: CSO: Please don't laugh!

OPS_Kerst says:
::Sees power blip on screen as pulse is activated:: ALL What the...????

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Aye, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Raises his eyebrow:: XO: Manual, Sir?

Host James says:
Action: The Erie comes up on the buttress.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: I accidentally set off the anti-tachyon pulse.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The buttresses shields are down!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Prepare to launch from the aft torpedo launchers.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sensors show the shields are down, Sir.  ::Wonders why they are::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye.

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Did I stutter, Commander?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Prepare to come about and head back the way we came.

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Well Tasha, you made it.

TO_Corjet says:
CTO: The buttress' shields are down, Sir.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir, plotting a course right back!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Shakes his head:: XO: No Sir, sorry.  Manual det.. ::Turns to the console and quickly enters those specifications::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: I noticed that.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* We'll need all the speed you can find.  Take power from anything except the shields to do it.

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: We need to be quick about this.  Let's get it done.

TO_Corjet says:
::Feels mildly elated:: CTO: Thanks for letting me try the idea even if you didn't think it would work.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Replication teams are working on it, maybe 2 more minutes because of the manual detonation, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Waiting for your command, Sir.  ::Puts his finger right next to the button::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Expediently, Commander.

MO_Sovok says:
::Looks down at his leg and sees something protruding from his pants leg.  Swears under his breath and moves his hand to his COM badge, but can't find it.::

CTO_Marek says:
TO: You are a fine officer.

XO_Hicks says:
::Readies the aft torpedo launchers for the tri-cobalt devices.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to his console and quickly powers down all non-essential systems then orders the shuttle augmentation systems online:: *OPS* You've got all the power I can give you, Kerst!

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Very well.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to keep a strong lock on the buttress::

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* We're almost there, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sees that the devices are done:: XO: They’re done, Commander.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Thanks, I just hope it's enough to outrun the shockwave.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Acknowledged.  Signal when ready.  ::Taps fingers on the arm of the command chair::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Good, now we load them in the aft torpedo launchers.

CSO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, we're at the location, buttress dead ahead.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Receives the final reports on the devices:: *OPS* We should be able to.

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Sir, we're done and we're loading them now.

MO_Sovok says:
::Sees his COM badge on the other side of the room where it must have flown when he landed and starts to crawl towards it::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Ready, Randy?

CEO_Corjet says:
::Quickly has his engineers load the devices:: XO: Just one more minute. ::Waits and receives the signal:: They’re ready, Commander!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Come about, Lieutenant, engage warp 9 on my mark.

CEO_Corjet says:
XO: Aye

XO_Hicks says:
*CO* Locked and loaded, Sir.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Is more worried about getting out of the conduit after they collapse the buttress::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
*XO* Acknowledged.

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Sir, course laid in, waiting for you to give the order to engage.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Prepare to launch tri-cobalt devices and detonate on my mark.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Nods::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Launch devices!

CEO_Corjet says:
*AE* Keep a close eye on those shuttle systems!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Watches out for any Borg ships that can reach them before the collapse::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Engage!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Launching!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Watches sensors::

CEO_Corjet says:
<EO> ::Gets a worried look and nods:: *CEO* Aye, Sir.  They're at full power.

FCO_Stricker says:
::Hits the engines at warp 9:: CO: Initiated, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Detonate!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Done, Sir!

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Looks like this is it.  I heard the launchers fire right before we went to warp.  Be ready to grab something and hold on.

Host James says:
Action: The tri-cobalt devices fired from the Erie, utterly destroy the buttress, sending out a massive subspace shockwave.

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Watches the weapons hit the buttress::  CO: Success, but there's a shockwave headed straight for us!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Tunes the warp core for maximum efficiency::

Host James says:
Action: The Erie manages to ride the shockwave for a few moments but systems begin overloading.

MO_Sovok says:
::Finally reaches his COM badge and taps it:: *Ship wide* Medical teams to Sickbay.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Divert power from the weapons to the Structural Integrity Field and shields!  Hold us together!

Host James says:
Action: The warp core fusion initiators fuse and are inoperable.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Diverts all power to shields and propulsion::

CEO_Corjet says:
::Quickly runs from station to station, trying to keep the ship together:: XO: Help!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to take all but basic systems offline and divert the power to engines::

CTO_Marek says:
::Does his best to keep tactical systems online::

MO_Sovok says:
::Hears the shockwave outside, knows this is the end.  Stands up on his good leg and looks around and braces himself against a wall::

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: Hold on!  This will get rough!

XO_Hicks says:
::Goes to an engineering console::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Hangs onto the arms of the command chair and rides out the shockwave::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Stay calm, Randy, we can handle this,

CEO_Corjet says:
::Does his best engineering tricks to keep the ship together then notices that the initiators are fused:: Self: Oh no!

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: Brace yourselves, Inertial dampeners overloading!

FCO_Stricker says:
::Maintains warp 9::

Host James says:
Action: Shaking and rumbling ensues to such a level that any Klingon stationed on the Erie begins to inexplicably get turned on.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Full emergency power!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Tries to read the frequency of the shockwave and develop a modulation pattern for the shields::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Emergency power has been engaged!

CTO_Marek says:
TO: Divert any available power to shields!   ::Taps like crazy on his console::

OPS_Kerst says:
CTO: Try to modulate the shields to match the shockwave’s frequency.  It'll dampen the effect and push us.

TO_Corjet says:
::Begins to divert power from non-essential sources::  CTO: I'm trying, Sir!

CEO_Corjet says:
::Turns to the warp core:: XO: Warp core offline!

MO_Sovok says:
::Limps as fast as he can out of Sickbay and looks around the corridor.  Heads for the turbolift and enters:: Computer, Bridge.  ::Feels blood ooze down his leg as his greenstick fracture goes untreated::

FCO_Stricker says:
::Check all of his systems::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
FCO: Steady, Lieutenant!  Keep us on course!

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Working on that!  ::Taps console trying to match the shockwave’s frequency::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Aye, Sir, steady and on course!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Cuts off power to science labs so the experiments don't become damaged::

Host James says:
Action: All systems go offline.  The last thing the crew sees on the viewscreen (before it dies) is the conduit collapsing around them.

CEO_Corjet says:
<Computer> Engineering: Warp core initiators fused.  Shutting down warp core.

CTO_Marek says:
Self: What the....??

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sitting in the dark after the view screen goes black::  All: Report!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Grabs an emergency beacon, activates it, and looks at his black console::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Oh no.  Can we run a shuttle at high warp and shunt the power through the EPS taps?

MO_Sovok says:
::Arrives on the Bridge and stumbles out, looking around:: Self: Oh my.

Host James says:
Action: Suddenly everything goes still.  Nothing is working.  All monitors are dead except navigational sensors.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: All systems are offline.  Emergency power has failed.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: It seems we succeed on closing the conduit.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Walks over to the Master Systems Display and tries to pick up the pieces:: XO: I had ordered my assistant to augment the power of a shuttle to the ship.  Basically the same thing but it’s possible.

TO_Corjet says:
CO: I'm still alive, Sir, but my console isn't telling me anything.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands from the command chair and feels her way to the wall locker to get a wrist beacon.  Opens the locker and begins passing out wrist beacons::

XO_Hicks says:
CEO: Let's try it.

MO_Sovok says:
::Feels more blood fall down his boot and onto the carpet.  Gets light headed and collapses out cold::

FCO_Stricker says:
CO: Helm controls not responding!

CSO_Pavielion says:
::Knows they are either back at Kootenai or somewhere else in, hopefully, the Alpha Quadrant::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
