CIV_Danforth says:
::Standing with the CTO, going over the modifications for the torpedoes.  Has never seen this type of configuration before and thought he had seen them all::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Still locked in the Ready Room, keeping up to date on the latest reports on the Omega situation in the Madtion/Leopold Nebula::

CNS_West says:
::Stepping into the Infirmary and walking towards the MO::

XO_Pavielion says:
::Turns to face the CTO::  CTO: Commander, how is our prisoner, I trust appropriate guards have been assigned to him?

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Satok, I've never seen anything like this.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Looks at the PADD containing his orders:: XO: Sir, you think this is a good idea?

OPS_Kerst says:
::In Operations at the OPS station::

XO_Pavielion says:
CSO: What idea, Lieutenant?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Just hours ago, the U.S.S. Gryphon returned from the horrendously devastated Aarocdi homeworld [see Gryphon Stardate 10112.09] with the captured leader of the Q'Orphod Masters, Xinor.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: He has 24-hour surveillance, Sir.  Four of my best men were assigned to guard him.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Excuse me, Commander?

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: This idea the Captain cooked up.

XO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Acknowledged, just make sure he is under a constant watch and that area of the station is sealed off.

CNS_West says:
MO: I have gathered some of the supplies that will be needed in Cargo Bay 3 and I am on my way there now.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sits at his office, entering his command codes into the computer to access the file that Captain Mitchell sent him.  Looks over the specifications of the modifications:: Self: Oh man.  ::Shakes his head::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Xinor is held in a forcefield filled with bioelectric gel that was acquired from a Q'Orphod vessel.  The gel is all that keeps him alive. Specially made shackles hold his hands as the reptilian Q'Orphod are capable of forming electrical bursts.

XO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Preparing the station?  I have no idea of what the Captain has planned. She handed us orders and we will follow them, beyond that we are blind.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Aye, Commander. I'm personally taking care of that, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
*EO Dok*  I'm coming over to assist with the modifications for the Erie.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks around her Ready Room and notices the mess.  She has been locked in there for three days, sleeping, eating and reading reports::

CEO_Corjet says:
#<EO Dok> ::Raises an eyebrow:: *CEO* Sir?  She's flight ready now, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: The modifications to the torpedoes.  This detail is amazing.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The situation is grim, the few reports that have come into the command center that the crew is aware of report elements of the first six fleets intercepting multiple threats outside of Federation space. The Station remains on lockdown.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: I thought I had seen it all, but this is something new.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Sighs::  Computer: Open file Mitchell, Theta 9-4, security clearance Taliza Alpha 32 Beta 4.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Continues with filter modifications to communications::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Shakes his head in wonderment as he continues working::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Those who have a general idea that something bad is going on feel helpless.  Their friends, family and loved ones are out there fighting a battle that the Kootenai Station crew can't rush off to help them with.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Sighs:: *EO* Dok, well, I have new orders for her.  ::Sighs and shakes his head:: I'll be there in about 10 minutes.  Give your teams a break till then.  Corjet, out.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Reads the latest reports and frowns, shaking her head.  Begins to get more than a little concerned about the safety of the station and the people in it::

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Yes, it is amazing.  ::Raises eyebrow in acknowledgement and turns to the short-range sensor monitor::

XO_Pavielion says:
*MO* Ensign, how are preparations with cargo bay three coming along?

CNS_West says:
MO: When I get there I will begin the request for the replications of the medications Captain Mitchell has ordered that will be needed.  I will contact you then!

Host Xinor says:
::Floating in his new prison meditating::

XO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Anything on tactical sensors, Commander?

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: Sir, the modifications the Captain asked for are nearly complete.  Two-thirds of the torpedoes have been modified.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pauses and turns back to his console.  Has his children taken care of in the eventuality of something dire happening.  Sighs sadly then reaches out to his wife for comfort.  Turns and heads to the docking bay::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: No, Sir, nothing unusual.

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: Should we begin testing the new configurations?

CNS_West says:
::Looks back at Sovok before she leaves Infirmary::  MO: Is everything alright?

CEO_Corjet says:
#<EO Dok> ::Shakes his head and orders his Engineering Teams to take a break::

XO_Pavielion says:
CIV: Acknowledged, let me know when the other third is finished.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: So far, our sector is clear.

XO_Pavielion says:
CIV: No, Commander.  The Captain gave us the specifications but we do not know exactly what will happen when they are fired.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Pushes his eyebrows together in great concern.  Walks slowly down the hallway as he traces his hand upon the bulkhead::

CNS_West says:
::Notices MO is deep in thought, reading his PADD::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Sees the sensor modification specs the Captain specified and programs the sensors::

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: Yes, Sir.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Continues making the modifications to the torpedoes::

MO_Sovok says:
*XO* Give me a minute on that report, Sir.  I'm a little tied up right now.

CEO_Corjet says:
#<EO Dok> ::Mans his station and monitors the blinking lights as he's nothing else to do.  Wonders what will happen next::

XO_Pavielion says:
::Gets no response::  *CNS* Commander, how are preparations in Cargo Bay 3 coming along, are you almost finished?

OPS_Kerst says:
::Activates the final filter and begins monitoring and logging of all intercepted communications traffic::

XO_Pavielion says:
::Hears the MO::  *MO* Acknowledged, though please hurry, the cargo bay should be your top priority.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Anything new in the Starfleet Intelligence report that we should be aware of?

MO_Sovok says:
*XO* Understood, Sir.

CNS_West says:
*XO* I am heading for Cargo Bay now to get thing completed, MO Sovok is analyzing some medications, just now!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Notices the sensors start to sensitize::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Nothing so far, Satok.  I only wish they kept me more informed.

CNS_West says:
::Leaves Infirmary and heads for Cargo Bay 3::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: A familiar shaking occurs on the station.

XO_Pavielion says:
::Looks around Operations.  The lockdown makes the station look awkward::  OPS: Anything on the COM?

Host Xinor says:
::His eyes suddenly open:: ~~~ Finally~~~

CIV_Danforth says:
::Whispers to CTO:: CTO: But confidentially, I think they know more than they are willing to tell me.

CTO_Marek says:
*Brig Security Team* This is Commander Marek.  Please report every 10 minutes, gentlemen.  Report immediately if anything unusual happens. Marek, out.

XO_Pavielion says:
CSO: What do the sensors say?

MO_Sovok says:
::Finishes up with some medications and nods to a medical team waiting with supplies for the cargo bay:: Team: Everything’s ready.  ::Walks over and hands them more supplies:: I'm sure you know that you'll be taking all of this to Cargo bay 3.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Feels the station shaking begin again.  Taps COM badge:: *XO* Report!  Is that another gravitational sheer?

CNS_West says:
::Enters Cargo Bay 3 and begins to unload some supplies from her arms::

Host Xinor says:
::Stares at the guards with his inhuman eyes::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Feels station start to shake:: All: UH OH!

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Sir, we're experiencing gravitational eddies and sheers.

CEO_Corjet says:
::Shakes the feelings of dread that washed over him and double times it to the Erie:: *XO* Heading to the Erie now to make modifications to the Erie’s systems as per Captain's orders in the Mission Briefing. ::Enters the Erie::

XO_Pavielion says:
::Thinks about the prisoner::  CTO: Make sure Xinor's cell stays powered!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I guess they are.  After all, not sharing information is their job, isn't it? ::Smiles::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Station begins to shake more and more.  On the viewscreen, they see space undulate and suddenly.

XO_Pavielion says:
*CO* Yes, Sir, we are trying to react and prevent damage now.

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Indeed it is. ::Smiles and continues to work::

MO_Sovok says:
*XO* Sir, I've sent the final team.  ::Stops talking as he feels the shaking::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Sends max power to shields and Structural Integrity Field and Inertial Dampening Field::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Wait!  They're more than sheers, they're full blown distortions!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION:   a bright crackling of white light illuminates six vessels as they "phase" into normal space before the Station.

XO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Red Alert, Commander!

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: Company!

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Six ships dead ahead, Sir!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Stands from her chair and stumbles to the door, exiting the Ready Room as the station begins to shake more violently::  All: Report!

MO_Sovok says:
::Falls to one knee but recovers quickly:: Self: Not this again 

XO_Pavielion says:
*CO* Captain, six vessels just appeared, Sir!

OPS_Kerst says:
::Powers up weapons::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Aye, Sir!!!!

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Staggers momentarily then steadies himself at a console:: *AE* What's going on?  Get those Structural Integrity Field and IDS backup systems online now!

CNS_West says:
::Begins to feel station shaking, wonders what is going to happen::

OPS_Kerst says:
XO: Weapons and shields online!

XO_Pavielion says:
*CEO* We have company, prepare your teams!

CNS_West says:
::Begins giving orders to medical personal in the cargo bay::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Begins to scan the ships::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Looks up at the Captain::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Staggers towards the center of Operations:: OPS: Hail the vessels.

CEO_Corjet says:
<AE> ::Quickly taps on the console and brings up the backup Structural Integrity Field and Inertial Dampening systems::

XO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, do you want the Erie dispatched?

CIV_Danforth says:
::Takes his position at tactical 2::

CTO_Marek says:
CO/XO: Sensors identify the vessels as a Q'Orphod Colony ship and five Q’Orphod scout vessels.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The shaking halts as the blue colored vessels come to a halt.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Negative, not yet.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Opens hailing frequencies and hails the vessels::

CEO_Corjet says:
#*XO* Aye, Sir! ::Taps on the console and has his Emergency Teams move into action::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: Confirmed, Sirs, they're Q'Orphod.

XO_Pavielion says:
::Walks over next to the CTO::  CTO: send extra guards to Xinor's cell and erect a separate forcefield around that area, I do not want anyone beaming him away.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Rotating modulating on secondary shields Kappa 2 pattern, Danforth.

MO_Sovok says:
*XO* The final teams have been sent to the cargo bay, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Runs into the Erie's Main Engineering:: EO: Dok!!  Get you men to their stations! ::Sees many of them already manning their stations::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Alien Vessels: Unidentified vessels, this is Captain Mitchell, Commanding officer of this station.  Identify yourselves and state your business in this area.

CNS_West says:
*MO* Cargo bay is ready and I am ready to begin medication replications.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: There is no response to the hail.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Understood, Sir. 

CEO_Corjet says:
#<EO Dok> ::Nods and frantically taps at his console::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Aye, Sir.  Kappa 2. ::Initiates sequence::

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: No response.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: It seems the Q'Orphod are using some sort of phase cloak to somewhat hide in subspace.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Scouts begin to maneuver around the Station as klaxons continue to blare.

XO_Pavielion says:
CSO: Full scans of the sector.  Make sure there are no other ships out there.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Prepare to fire modified torpedoes on my mark.

CEO_Corjet says:
<AE> ::Frantically orders engineers about to various duties:: *CEO* We're doing what we can, Sir.  It's subsided but other than that everything’s fine.

CTO_Marek says:
*ESF Team A* Join the security team in the Brig, Gentlemen, on the double.

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: No other ships detected.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
EO in Ops: Bring the modified shielding online.

*CNS* Very well.

CEO_Corjet says:
#*AE* Aye!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<EO in Ops> CO: Aye, Sir!  ::Taps the console activating the modified shields::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: ::Taps console:: Ready, Sir!

CNS_West says:
*MO* I need the specifications, if you will send them now the replicators are all set up!

XO_Pavielion says:
CIV: Please dispatch ESF teams to Operations and Xinor's cell.

CIV_Danforth says:
XO: Aye, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
*CEO* Damage control teams standby.

MO_Sovok says:
*CNS* Understood. ::Sends her the specifications::

CIV_Danforth says:
Neyland: Dan, get three teams to Xinor's cell and two more to OPS.  Double time.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Scouts come to a halt.

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: I already assigned ESF Team A to the Brig, Danforth.

CIV_Danforth says:
<Neyland>: CIV: Aye, Sir.

CNS_West says:
::Receiving the specifications and tapping them into the replicator console, the replication process of specific medications begins::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Try to hail them again, please.

CTO_Marek says:
::Passes his finger nervously over the red button::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Just going to back them up, Satok.  I think Xinor is going to be a good target.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO/XO: Sirs, they're in a pentagonal formation.  I wonder what that means?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO: Aye, Sir. ::Notices beeping:: Sir, they're hailing us!?

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: Good idea, my apologies.

XO_Pavielion says:
CO: Sir, this could be an attack formation.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: OPS: On viewer.  ::Turns to the viewscreen::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Activates viewer, putting the hail on the viewscreen::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
XO: Acknowledged.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Turns to viewscreen to listen in::

CIV_Danforth says:
CTO: Not at all, it's good for us to double check on each other.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Watches viewscreen::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: A blue haze appears on screen.  It only takes a moment for them to realize it's bioelectric gel.  The gel wavers as a Q'Orphod swishes onto screen.  Its mouth doesn't apparently move but a voice is heard.

XO_Pavielion says:
::Walks over next to the CSO::  CSO: is there anything unusual registering about those ships?

CNS_West says:
::As each medication is replicated, she takes them off the replicator tray and places them in a metal casing and locks it after each entry::

Host Xinor says:
@<Q'Orphod One> COM: Kootenai: Federation Station, we are the Q'Orphod Masters.  Release Xinor or face termination.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Looks at the odd creature on the viewscreen::

CSO_Taliza says:
XO: Scanning.

XO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Are security team in place to guard cargo bay one and the medical teams?

CIV_Danforth says:
::Thinks: Termination is not good::

CTO_Marek says:
::Brings all the internal security systems at it full capacity::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Mutters, that's to the point::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Q'Orphod One: This is Captain Mitchell, Commanding Officer of this station.  I will not release the prisoner.  We are prepared to defend ourselves.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Brings all science sensors to maximum scan::

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Every area in the ship has two security teams assigned, including 20 ESF teams, Sir.

Host Xinor says:
~~~Q'Orphod: Ah, my people. You have done well. You must move quickly   there may still be time for us to acquire the power source. There may still be time for us to save our race~~~

XO_Pavielion says:
CTO: Acknowledged, great job preparing, Commander.

Host Xinor says:
@<Q'Orphod One> COM: Kootenai: Are you prepared to sacrifice your crew, Captain?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Turns to the XO and whispers:: XO: Get to the Erie, Commander.  Prepare to launch on my command.  I will remain here.  Take whomever you need.

CIV_Danforth says:
Jenny: Jenny, work faster.  We've got to finish those torpedoes.

CTO_Marek says:
XO: Thanks, Sir.

XO_Pavielion says:
CO: Aye, Sir  ::Hits COM badge::  *CIV/CEO/CNS* Please join me on the Erie immediately!

CTO_Marek says:
CIV: What do you say about this? Would a modified Delta 1 shield pattern be effective against their weapons?

CIV_Danforth says:
*XO* Aye, Sir!

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Enters a Jeffries tube and opens a control panel.  Sticks his arm in with a dutronic isometric combiner and adjusts the systems:: Self: A little bit more 

XO_Pavielion says:
::Boards the nearest turbolift::  Docking bay one.

CNS_West says:
::Hears the XO:: *XO* Aye, Sir, on my way.

CIV_Danforth says:
::Initiates emergency beam out to the Bridge of the Erie.  Hits his COM badge and is taken away::

CNS_West says:
::Puts a medic in charge of the cargo bay and immediately departs for the Erie::

XO_Pavielion says:
::Waits an eternity as the turbolift arrives, leaves it and rushes quickly for the ship::

CIV_Danforth says:
::Beams in to the Bridge::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Notices the XO leaves before he gets a report in:: CO: Sir, the Commander wanted to know if there were anything unusual with those Q'Orphod.

CEO_Corjet says:
#*XO* I'm already here, Sir.  ::Burns his arm slightly:: OUCH!  Sorry.  Making final modifications, Sir.  I'll be done in a couple of seconds. ::Looks at the console and runs the initialization program::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: And?

Host Xinor says:
@<Q'Orphod One> COM: Kootenai: Then permit us to help you along the way. ::The COM cuts::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The Q'Orphod are dying.

CIV_Danforth says:
#::Notices he's the first to arrive and quickly begins the power up sequences::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Colony Ship launches seven missiles, which fly through space and slam the Station hard.

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Passes through the airlocks and boards the Erie, gets on a turbolift and goes toward the Bridge::

CTO_Marek says:
::Reroutes tactical 2 console commands to his console::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Shakes from the impact::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Fire torpedoes, full spread!  ::Stumbles into a console and hangs on, looks over to the CSO::  CSO: Acknowledged, that much is certain.

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Falls against a wall as the doors open, exits onto the Bridge::

CIV_Danforth says:
#Computer: Emergency startup, now!  Authorization: Danforth-3, Pi Delta-2.

CTO_Marek says:

#CIV: Red alert, Commander!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
OPS: Reroute power to the station shields.

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: Port shields down to 89%

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The lifesigns are not totally strong.  It seems their bioelectric gel is running out.  Some are dying because of it.

CIV_Danforth says:
#::Takes a seat at OPS and slaves the FCO controls to his console::

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Moves over to the command chair::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Scouts do nothing as the Colony Ship unleashes another barrage of missiles, five this time.  The Station rocks hard as it launches it's own deadly barrage.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Aye, Sir.  The Erie is ready to move out.

OPS_Kerst says:

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

CTO_Marek says:
COM: CEO: Understood, Commander. Good job!

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Pattern lock on target alpha, aye, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Makes a small hole for Erie to pass through, prepares to close it once through.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Target their weapons arrays and fire!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Erie flies through the tight hole.  Microscopic discharges going off as their shield matrix scrapes the Station's shields.

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: Oh, looks like the paints scratched.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Give them some cover fire, Commander.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The Erie cleared the station and is engaged battle, Sir!

CIV_Danforth says:
#::Launches first wave of torpedoes in intermittent bursts at the first target.

XO_Pavielion says:
#CIV: Target the left vessel with phasers, concentrate torpedo fire on the right.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: And suddenly, the Erie is under siege by all five Scout ships. A new variation of polaron energy bursts lance across their shields. The vessel slightly rocks.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Polaron bursts, coming from the scouts!

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Aye, Sir.

CTO_Marek says:

CSO_Taliza says:
::Rocks from the blasts::

CIV_Danforth says:
#*CEO* Chief, can you get me more power to the phasers?

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: The scouts ships are ganging up on the Erie, the big one is trading punches with us.

CTO_Marek says:
CO/OPS: Compensating power loss from the shields. They are holding!

MO_Sovok says:
::Hits his head against his console as he falls and has a slightly harder time recovering this time:: Self: What the hell is going on?!

CTO: Continuous fire, Commander!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The lithe Erie maneuvers as best they can around the Scouts but this is not the first time the Q'Orphod have tangled with an Intrepid Class, and know just how to dance.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: I'm trying to help them!

CNS_West says:
#XO: Yes, if I can get directly behind them they cannot detect us and we can get a bead on their weapon array.

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Taps away at his console and staggers a bit:: *CIV* Working on it now. ::Re-routes power from auxiliary systems and nonessential systems through the backup power couplings to the phasers:: There!

CO: Sir, sensors just detected a possible ghost subspace distortion.  It was too far away to determine.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Target their port missile launcher and fire!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Launching another volley on their missile launcher now! 

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Erie’s attack on the first Scout does its deed and the vessel begins to come apart from the inside out.  However, it moves too fast and in the wrong direction ricocheting off another scout before slamming headfirst into Kootenai itself.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: A brief yet amazing explosion lights up the station's already lightly weakened port shields the Station rocks momentarily.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Rocks from the collision::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged.  ::Rocks from the impact of the Scout vessel on the station.  Stumbles off into a bulkhead::

::Rocks from impact of scout ship::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Colony Ship makes it's full turn, and seven missiles let loose in an amazing barrage

OPS_Kerst says:
CO/CTO: Port shields down to 23%!

CNS_West says:
#XO: That did it!  ::Backing off the now exploding vessel::

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Sees the collision::  All: Dang!  ::Sigh::  CNS: Bring us over to the station's port side, we need to provide cover fire in that area.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: BOOM! The Station's port shields are blown entirely. The Station rocks as lights flicker off for a moment before coming back on.

CTO_Marek says:
OPS: Compensating! ::Reroutes all the power he can get to the shields::

CEO_Corjet says:
<AE> ::Shakes and falls down as the station gets rocked:: ALL Station Engineers: Baker 001 protocols!

::Fires at the bubbles:: 

CNS_West says:
#XO: We are within firing range now, Sir!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The phaser fire ricochets off the bubbles of the Q'Orphod.  In response, they lift their hands and suddenly bolts of pure electricity leap out

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Stand back, Sir!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Ducks the electricity::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Ducks!::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The electricity dances across the air, scorching consoles and striking random crewmembers.  The CTO is grazed on his right leg, but no serious harm results.

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Looks over at his Engineers with pride and sadness, then quickly goes back to his duties.  Assigning teams and deploying them and making remote systems bypasses to make up for the damaged systems::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Drives behind a console as the bolts of electricity are shot out of the bubbles::

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Sees boarding parties get on the station::  CIV: We need to cover this side, any ship that comes over here I want us to welcome them with open torpedo tube doors.

CTO_Marek says:
::Feels the electricity:: Self: Damn, I'm getting old!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Those are gravimetric bubbles!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<Bailey> ::Growls very loudly, moves forward and fires his phaser at the bubbles::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Colony Ship, having taken down the Station's port shields, turns to concentrate on the Erie.

MO_Sovok says:
::Continues to treat people and checks the phaser at his ankle  Setting it to kill::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The phaser fire continues to have little to no effect on the bubbles.

OPS_Kerst says:
Computer: Intruder alert, lock down Operations!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes a tricorder and attempts to find a way to get through the bubbles::

CNS_West says:

CSO_Taliza says:
::Takes cover::

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: All phasers and torpedoes fire.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Ducks again::

CTO_Marek says:
::Continues firing on the bubbles until reaching the console then taps on it::

XO_Pavielion says:
#CNS: Maneuver around and try to avoid their fire, but we need to protect the station's port.

CIV_Danforth says:
#::Fires all phasers and torpedoes continuously destroying bad guys::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The photon grenades go off sending the bubbles flying but they do not pop.

CTO_Marek says:
::Ducks avoiding being hit again::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks over at the warp core and then hears something unusual.  Runs to it's console and runs a level 3 diagnostic::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: I have a better idea.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: One of the Q'Orphod zaps Bailey.  His fur catches on fire.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Let's hear it.

CNS_West says:
#::Continues evasive maneuvers::

CIV_Danforth says:
#*CEO* I can't let up, Chief.  You'll have to keep giving me power.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: It's a little much to explain.  Permission to adjust gravity controls?

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: Two missiles launched at the Erie miss due to its great maneuvers.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sees Bailey on fire and rushes over and starts beating him repeatedly putting out the flames:: CSO: Granted!

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Frowns::  CIV: Concentrate on the lead ship and fire every weapon at it. ::Turns around::  CNS: Set a course straight for them.  We may get a little burnt, but I want that ship in close range to our weapons.

CTO_Marek says:
::Helps the CO put the flames out::

MO_Sovok says:
::Moves on to more sever patients::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The flames on Bailey are put out.  He's not dead, but is severely burned.

CIV_Danforth says:
#CNS: Great flying, Counselor.  Good to have you back.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Rushes to the gravitational generator controls and experiments with increasing the gravity in Operations::

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Sighs::*CIV* Going to emergency battery power and I'll be hooking up the emergency shuttle to ship power system too.

CNS_West says:
#::Blinks at the XO's order to head straight toward them, but complies::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: As the CSO experiments with gravity in Operations, more bubbles appear around the brig.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Feels heavier::

CIV_Danforth says:
#::Fires on lead ship and continues heavy barrage:: XO: Aye, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Looks to EO Dok:: EO: Take care of the shuttle to ship power generation. ::Sighs knowing he's probably signed his EO's death certificate::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Grabs a med kit and hands it to Bailey:: Bailey: Here, Lieutenant, you will need to use the dermal regenerator.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The crew feels heavier for a moment then lighter.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: A firefight starts between security and other Q'Orphod on the Station.

MO_Sovok says:
Self: What the Hell is going on?!

CSO_Taliza says:
Self: Come on!  Pop!

Host Xinor says:
::Watches calmly as his followers attempt to get to him::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Feels the artificial gravity modulate.  Looks at the CSO:: CSO: What are you doing with the gravity?

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: More guests. ::Fires phaser, wishes he had his sword::

XO_Pavielion says:
#CNS: Keep the course swift and zigzagging, once within 2,000 kilometers break to starboard and begin circling the ship.

CNS_West says:
#::Winks over at CIV, continuing to concentrate on the console, occasionally looking out the main screen::

CEO_Corjet says:
#<EO Dok> ::Looks to CEO Corjet and nods, hoping this isn't his last order:: CEO: Aye, Sir!  On my way.  ::Takes a few Engineers with him::

CTO_Marek says:
::Continues the desperate fire over the bubbles  sometimes he act more like a Klingon::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: If I find the right gravitational setting, those gravitational bubbles will burst like soap bubbles.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<Security in the Brig> ::Fires phasers at the bubbles::

OPS_Kerst says:
CSO: just don't burst us!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Q'Orphod continue zapping all over Operations.

CTO_Marek says:
::Hears the CSO:: CSO: You better hurry!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged, continue your efforts.

CNS_West says:
#::Watching the approaching ship at the speed::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Increases gravity and tries to concentrate them to the bubbles in Operations::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Grabs chair, hits the nearest bubbles with it::

CEO_Corjet says:
<AE> ::Looks at his duty roster and sees some of his engineering teams have been wiped out.  Fills the holes in his duty roster as best as he can::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: "Outside" the fight continues.  The Colony Ship manages to get one missile in and the somewhat smaller shielding of the Erie rocks painfully. The Scouts come in with polaron lasers blasting.

XO_Pavielion says:
#CIV: Target their power cores.  We need to punch through their shields and hit them where it hurts, right in their power core.

MO_Sovok says:
::Not knowing what’s going on in Operations, taps his COM badge:: *CO* Sir? I still haven't been informed.  What on earth is going on here?!

CNS_West says:
#::Seeing the distance is 2,000 kilometers, sets the Erie to break starboard::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: OPS' chair assault merely causes him to fall back for a moment, as if he's being pushed away. Suddenly, an electric bolt runs him right through and he's thrown across Main Operations   barely alive.

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Slips and falls to the deck, bumping his head.  Rubs it and quickly gets up, cursing in Bajoran::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Gets an idea and rushes over to a wall panel opening it.  Grabs a major electrical conduit and yanks it from the panel.  Holds it out in front of her and stabs one of the bubbles with it::  *MO* Not now, Doctor.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: I'm trying, Sir.  It's difficult with their speed.  I'm trying to compensate.

CTO_Marek says:
::Fires on a bubble near a sec crewman on the left of the room::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues adjusting gravity controls::

OPS_Kerst says:
ALL: AAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ::Thump::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The conduit attack does little difference or does it?  The bubble the CO is assaulting suddenly changes shape however, it seems that it's just the CSO's work coming to pass.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Captain!  It's starting to work!  Those bubbles are starting to lose their cohesiveness!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: Another Scout's starboard shields go down.

CTO_Marek says:
::Rushes over the OPS:: OPS: Are you ok, Kerst?!!

OPS_Kerst says:
::Gurgles::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Acknowledged, Lieutenant.  Keep it going!  ::Stabs another bubble::

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Shakes his head and looks at the blurry  console.  Closes his eyes and focuses a moment::

CNS_West says:
#XO: Circling the ship now, Sir, suggest  firing torpedoes!

CTO_Marek says:
::Grabs a med kit and give the first aid to the OPS::

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Sees sensors light up::  CIV: target that non-shielded area and launch the torpedoes.

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues to focus gravitational increases to the bubbles::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The bubble pops, bioelectric gel falls all over the CO. She feels a light electric current sweep through her for a moment, then nothing.   The reptilian entity gurgles and spasms before her for a moment then dies.

XO_Pavielion says:
#CNS: Yes, Commander, just try to keep us moving and away from their fire.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<Bailey>  ::Sees OPS in trouble and gets up with the med kit in hand and lumbers over to OPS to assist him::

MO_Sovok says:
::Finally finishes a sever patient and moves him to a different Biobed, leaving the main bed open, moves onto a less severe patient::

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Launching!  ::Launches torpedoes right at the non-shielded area::

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Being experienced, and knowing his configuration he works almost as quickly and efficiently as he would with his eyes open::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: He is in shock, Captain.

CNS_West says:
#::Taking a deep breath, wiping palms together and continuing to steer Erie::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
Bailey: Get medical teams up here, stat!

CSO_Taliza says:
All: That did it!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The second scout is slammed, and explodes soon after. The remaining three press on the assault   vengeance on the mind.

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: Another bubble goes “pop”. The Q'Orphod, aware of what is going on, press on with their assault.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Two down, three to go!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<Bailey> CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps COM badge:: *Infirmary* Bailey to Infirmary, medical emergency in Operations.  Send medical teams, stat!

CSO_Taliza says:
::Grabs a phaser and fires at the bubbles::

CNS_West says:
#::Keeping the Erie running circles around the scout ship and weaving and bobbing between their torpedo volleys::

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: Down below, the Security force defending Xinor goes down for the count   they zap the forcefield holding in Xinor and apply a small device, which places a bubble around him.  Xinor is freed.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: We better beam him directly to the Infirmary, Sir!

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Points to a ship on the screen::  CNS: Stick to his rear  ::Looks at the CIV::  CIV: Target his rear shields and launch a full volley of phasers and torpedoes.

MO_Sovok says:
*Bailey* My teams are a little occupied here. I could try to spare someone but if you could would it be possible to transport the injured to Infirmary?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Rushes to the OPS console:: Bailey: I am beaming you and Kerst to the Infirmary.  ::Taps console and beams them both to the Infirmary::

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Aye, Sir.  Rear shields targeted.  Launching!  ::Launches a full spread at the rear shields::

CNS_West says:
#XO: Aye, Sir, on it!

CTO_Marek says:
<Security Team in Brig> *CTO* Xinor is freed, Sir! 

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The Q'Orphod on the Bridge realize what is going on and attempt to fry the console the CSO was using.  Electrical bolts lash out.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Feels light-headed::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Goes over to science sensors and notices a jail break in progress:: Self: Oh no you don't.  ::Adjusts gravity in the Brig::

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Finally opens his eyes and continues to work, but more quickly now that he can see:: *AE2* Do what you can with the phaser systems.

XO_Pavielion says:
#COM: Kootenai: CO: Sir, what is your status?

MO_Sovok says:
::Watches as Kerst is beamed to the main biobed.  Jogs over and picks up a hypospray:: Bailey: What happened to him?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Fires at the Operations bubbles:: Q'Orphod: Stay away from that console!

CNS_West says:
#::Moves the Erie away from scout ships rear as torpedoes fire::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Sir, Xinor has escaped, Sir. Tracking him trough internal security grid.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
<Bailey> MO: He was attacked by one of the Q’Orphod creatures in Operations.  ::Lumbers over an empty biobed and passes out::

MO_Sovok says:
::Notices that he's in shock and injects him with a hypo to stabilize him for further treatment::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Continues to adjust gravity in the brig::

Host Xinor says:
::The Q'Orphod in the Brig were telepathically informed of what is going on up above and before their bubbles can pop, they beam out::

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Sir, shields maintained at 71%.  Ventral phasers down.

XO_Pavielion says:
#*CEO* Commander, we have phaser systems going down, is there anyway you can bypass them?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Has had enough and rushes to another wall panel and pulls out the water hoses she had the CEO install for the Borg.  Activates the water hose and aims them at the bubbles as they send out electrical beams::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Jailbreak!  The prisoner has escaped!

CTO_Marek says:
*All sec teams* Make an extensive search for Xinor. The prisoner has escaped, I repeat the prisoner has escaped!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: The remaining Q'Orphod in Main Operations are taken out as their bubbles pop from the resulting force several sensitive eardrums in the surrounding region pop in the process.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Continuing fire, Sir.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: We have other problems here.

Host Xinor says:
@ ::Arrives on the Colony Ship::

CEO_Corjet says:

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Continuous fire!

XO_Pavielion says:
#CIV: What was that?!

Host Xinor says:
ACTION: From the rift, six Bellicose Cruisers emerge firing on the Colony Ship the entire way.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Yes, Sir!  ::Continues barrage on all scout ships but primarily the lead ship::

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Sir, can you speak?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: What?

CSO_Taliza says:
::Looks at scans:: CO: Sir!  It's the Bellicose!

XO_Pavielion says:
#CNS: Back to the station now!  Take up a position next to Kootenai!

CNS_West says:
#::Turns the Erie from the rift just as the scout ships disintegrate::

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: Uh, what?

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Sir!  The Bellicose!

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Aye, Sir . ::Sets all photon launchers at its maximum fire capacity over the ship::

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Good.  Are you feeling alright?

CNS_West says:
#XO: Aye, Sir!

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: They're firing on the colony ship!

Host Xinor says:
@ ::Consoles all over explode:: ~~~ No! Nooooo!~~~ ::Telepaths on Kootenai can hear his scream which is suddenly cut off::

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Colony Ship explodes.

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: Uh, no. Um, what happened?

XO_Pavielion says:
#CIV: Recharge phasers and load torpedo bays, do not fire until I give the order.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: The Colony ship is destroyed, Sir!!!!!

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: The Bellicose has destroyed the Q'Orphod ship, with our prisoner on it.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The fire soon dissipates   and the Bellicose Cruisers move through the wreckage, coming before the Erie.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Are there any remaining Q'Orphod vessels?

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Aye, Sir.  ::Reloads everything::

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Best I can tell you were electrocuted but I wouldn't know, I'm never informed of what is going on here.

CNS_West says:
#::Setting course back to Kootenai Station::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Scanning . no, Sir . They are all gone.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Scan the station for remaining Q'Orphod.

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: Electa..Elic..I think he zapped me.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Scanning 

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Who?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Damage report?

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: All gone.

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Sighs as he sees the power usage drop, thinking  Hoping that the fight has ceased::

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: The lizard in the bubble must have zapped me. ::Moans::

XO_Pavielion says:
#CIV: Do not fire yet, we do not fully understand their intentions.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Sir, we're loaded for bear.  Awaiting orders.

XO_Pavielion says:
#CNS: Hail the Bellicose.

MO_Sovok says:
::Thinks about treating him for brain damage:: OPS: Sir, Did you hit your head?

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the Cruisers open fire on the Erie   concentrating on spots they know will hurt, their powerful polaron weaponry punches through the already weakened shield locations. They quickly cripple the ship's propulsion systems. The Cruisers move past the Erie and toward the Station.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Standing in the middle of Operations, wet, dirty and tired::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Tries to sit up but fails::

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Structure damages reports coming in from deck 15 to 23.  Several wounded reports on all decks.  Damage control teams are working to repair damages.

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Sir!  The Bellicose have hit the Erie and making a beeline to us!

CNS_West says:
#COM: Bellicose: This is the USS Erie, please respond!

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Just relax, Sir, I'm not sure how many volts you took in.

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Gets thrown against his chair, shakes his head, sees red lights flash everywhere::  CIV: Fire!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The Bellicose increase speed as they move toward the Station as if they intend to ram it.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Target the Bellicose lead vessel and open fire!

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: I'm not sure.  We were boarded by bubbles then they stated zapping Operations.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Sir!  We're dead in the water!

XO_Pavielion says:
#CNS: Can we pursue?

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Gets knocked to the deck, not expecting this attack.  Looks around in a bit of a daze and gets back up.  Quickly runs a full ship wide level 4 diagnostic::  All Engineers: Man your stations!

CNS_West says:
#::Notices the XO getting knocked around::

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Cruisers closing in on the station.

CTO_Marek says:
CO: Enhancing shield power!  Firing torpedoes full-spreadl!!!!

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Well, at least I've got one story to go by.  Does anything hurt?

CNS_West says:
#XO: Sir they are not answering, they are firing on us!

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: Suddenly, a subspace rift forms in between the station and the Bellicose. Their weapons fire vanishes into the rift as do the six Bellicose Cruisers. Soon after, the rift closes.

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: Everything!

CEO_Corjet says:
#<EO Dok> ::Gets electrocuted by the backup power conduit::

CSO_Taliza says:
CO: Some kind of rift opened between the Bellicose and us.  They're gone!

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CSO: Status?

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Frowns::  CNS: Acknowledged, transfer any power from warp and impulse to shields and weapons.  We may be dead in the water, but we will be one lethal sitting duck::

CNS_West says:
#*CEO* I have lost power.

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Give the pain killer time to settle in. Now, if you'll excuse me?

XO_Pavielion says:
#*CEO* Commander, how is the ship holding up?

Host CO_Mitchell says:
::Sighs in relief:: COM: Erie: XO: Status, Commander?

CTO_Marek says:
CO: What the??? The Bellicose ships are gone into a subspace rift, Sir.

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: Have to ::Fails to sit up again:: get back to Operations.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
CTO: Acknowledged.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: The silence of "peace" settles in as the last signs of the Bellicose fade.

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Someone will take care of it, you just rest.

CEO_Corjet says:
@*XO/OPS* Warp and impulse down! ::Taps at his console:: Port, starboard and ventral shielding down.  ::Moans::  Life support on the lower decks are out.  Life support should be maintained for another few more hours.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Sir, forward shields are all we have left.

OPS_Kerst says:
MO: Maybe I'll just lie here a minute, to catch my breath.

CTO_Marek says:
::Receives the damage report:: CO: We have sustains major damages, Sir. 

CNS_West says:
#::Wants to bang head against console, but doesn't::

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Erie: XO: Status report, Commander?

XO_Pavielion says:
#::Hits a COM panel::  COM: Kootenai: CO: Sir, we are dead in the water. Shields have failed and weapons systems are severely damaged.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: But we're alive.  ::Smiles::

MO_Sovok says:
OPS: Make that a day, Sir, Doctor’s orders. ::Walks over to a console and gets a report on the status of the station and find out what the Hell was going on::

CEO_Corjet says:
#*CNS* I'm picking up the pieces and my Engineers  Can you get some medical personnel down here? ::Continues to work at his station, even though there are injured and severely wounded all around him::

OPS_Kerst says:
::Moans:: MO: Ugh

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Erie: XO: Prepare to be tractored into the docking bay.  ::Taps the OPS console activating the tractor beam::

CNS_West says:
#::Sees the Bellicose vanish and sets sensors to scan area for any other ships::

CSO_Taliza says:
::Prepares systems for repair::

XO_Pavielion says:
#CNS: Drop shields.  ::Turns to CIV::  CIV: Power down weapons systems.

CEO_Corjet says:
#*ALL Engineers* Remember!  Baker 001! ::Looks over at a severely burned engineer, moans as he turns back to his duties::

CNS_West says:
#::Dropping shields, what’s left of them::

XO_Pavielion says:
#COM: Kootenai: CO: Yes, Sir, we have powered down shields and weapons.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Powering down, Sir.  ::Powers down weapons systems and almost hears the ship groan with pain::

XO_Pavielion says:
#*CEO* Great job, Commander, please begin repairs immediately.

CNS_West says:
#*CEO* The Erie is being tractored back to the station. I will be down to help with any wounded, momentarily.

CEO_Corjet says:
#*XO* Aye, Sir. Baker 001 Engineering Protocols in effect.

Host CO_Mitchell says:
COM: Erie: XO: Locking on tractor beam, now.  ::Taps console locking the tractor beam onto the Erie::

XO_Pavielion says:
#CIV: Stand down from red alert.

CIV_Danforth says:
#XO: Standing down.  Taking the ship from red alert.

OPS_Kerst says:
::Falls back asleep::

CEO_Corjet says:
#::Says sadly:: *CNS* Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Host FM_Selan says:
ACTION: As the Erie is tractored into the docking bay, the Kootenai crew settles down. They have seemingly won, however, here is a lingering feeling that elsewhere out there their friends and loved ones are continuing the fight that no longer contains the Q'Orphod.  Will it ever end?
