Host SM_Darlene says:
<<<<<<<<<<<Resume Kootenai Mission-Trandarus Raiders>>>>>>>>>>

XO_Spicer says:
#CTO: Keep Breloc's ship on sensors and maintain a constant distance from him.

TO_Expendable says:
#::Continues managing the secondary flight and the main tactical consoles aboard the shuttle::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Closely monitors the shuttle's performances:: Self: Well, it's now or never... ::Switches the coolant systems on the shuttles to their backups.  Opens a secure channel to the first shuttle:: *XO*: I've taken the liberty of switching the shuttles coolant systems to their backups... The primaries need time to recover, Sir.

Host Breloc says:
$::Taps the control panel opening a COM with Shuttle One::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Looks over at the TO then up at Rick::

XO_Spicer says:
#COM: Breloc: This is Commander Spicer.

Host Breloc says:
$COM: Shuttle One: XO: Spicer we are about one hour from the system.  Please prepare your crew to assume the role of prisoners and lower your shields.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Turns to Running Horse:: TO: Could you please check the weapons stores?

TO_Expendable says:
#::Thinks:: Lower our shields.... yeah right... I don't like this cover story.  Despite his thoughts he sets the system to be ready to fulfill the needs::

XO_Spicer says:
#::Silences the com:: *CEO*/CTO: Have you figured out how to hide our backup security officer?

TO_Running_Horse says:
@::Sitting watching the CEO and CTO and wondering just how they will hide her::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The five pirate ships form a diamond formation surrounding the two shuttles.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Nods:: *XO*: I think we could cloak his signatures with a small subspace field... ::Sighs to himself:: But they can't hide that way for long because of the time dilation effects...

TO_Running_Horse says:
@CEO: Sir, I don't like this.  Smells fishy if you ask me.

TO_Expendable says:
#XO/CTO: We have visual contact with the pirate ships, Sir. ::Focuses sensors on them::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Turns to the TO:: TO: Aye... I know exactly what you mean.  ::Sighs:: But we all have our duties. ::Turns back to his console and runs a small warp field simulation::

XO_Spicer says:
#*CEO*: Well do the best you can. ::Resumes the audio of the com:: COM: Breloc: We are making final preparations. How long can we wait before dropping shields? I prefer to wait to the very last minute.

XO_Spicer says:
#TO: Excellent.

Host Breloc says:
$COM: Shuttle One: XO: We will be in range of their long-range sensors in…::Looks at the chronometer::...10 minutes.  You should lower your shields after that time or it will look suspicious.

TO_Expendable says:
#XO: I have the shield system at stand by, ready to be disengaged at your command.  ::Taps on the console::

XO_Spicer says:
#*CMO*: Doctor, are you finished with the crew over there? If so, I need you to beam here to prep us.

XO_Spicer says:
#COM: Breloc: Understood. We will be ready in nine minutes.

TO_Expendable says:
#::Hears Breloc through the COM and synchronizes the shields controls::

XO_Spicer says:
#TO: Good.  Also, set up a program to bring the shields up to full power on a moments notice should we need them.

Host Breloc says:
$COM: Shuttle One: XO: We will need to stop just outside the security perimeter so I can send the codes and get clearance.  We will be met by several ships...don't be alarmed.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks over his console.  His eyes open wide:: Self: I've got it!  A tricorder!  Why didn't I think of that before... ::Pulls out a tricorder and starts to reprogram it:: Now, I hope it's fast enough to counter any scans.

CMO_Sovok says:
@COM: *XO*: I'm just finishing up over here, Rick. Be done soon.

TO_Expendable says:
#XO: Aye, Sir.  Will do it gladly.  ::Does so::

XO_Spicer says:
#COM: Breloc: Affirmative. ::Closes the COM::

XO_Spicer says:
#*CMO*: Good. See you shortly.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Continues with his attempts to reprogram the tricorder to nullify any scans:: Self: I just hope it's fast enough... ::Taps on it's controls:: Now... Once it receives a signal, it will send an inverse signal out to counteract it.

TO_Running_Horse says:
@::Waiting for the action::

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Finishes installing the sub-dermal transmitters into the crew on his shuttle and sends a signal to the XO's shuttle announcing that he's ready for transport::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Reopens a secure channel to shuttle craft 1:: *XO*: Cancel that subspace field. I've reprogrammed a tricorder to cancel any scans that it detects.  In the case of life sign scans, it will make it seem like no one is there. ::Grins with happiness::

XO_Spicer says:
#CTO: Drop the shields and bring the Doctor aboard. *CMO*: Drop your shields and transport over.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#XO: Lowering shields now, Rick.

XO_Spicer says:
#*CEO*: Excellent job, Chief.

CMO_Sovok says:
@COM*XO*: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps the tactical display and drops the shields::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Notices the other shuttle has dropped their shields:: CSO: Okay, we're getting close to their hideout.

XO_Spicer says:
#::Opens a COM to Breloc:: COM: Breloc: We are lowering our shields now.

TO_Expendable says:
#::Sets the tactical sensor grid to its maximum... you never know with pirates::

Host Breloc says:
$COM: Shuttle One: XO: Acknowledged.

XO_Spicer says:
#::Terminates the COM::

CMO_Sovok says:
@::Initiates the transport::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The CMO is transported to Shuttle One.

TO_Expendable says:
#::Monitor the beaming::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Looks up at Sovok and smiles::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CEO: Set engine harmonics at 1-1-7-2-2-5.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks over to the CSO and nods.  Then quickly sets the engines harmonics to 1-1-7-2-2-5:: CSO: Done.

TO_Expendable says:
#CMO: Welcome aboard, Doctor.

XO_Spicer says:
#CMO: Welcome aboard, Doc.  Okay, get us ready.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CEO: Inform the other shuttle to do the same.

CMO_Sovok says:
#::Nods:: XO: Pleasure to be here. Roll up your sleeves gentlemen... and ladies. ::Smiles at Bao::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Nods and sends a text message to the CTO who he thinks is flying Shuttlecraft 1:: CSO: Done.

TO_Expendable says:
#::Rolls his sleeves and gets ready for the inoculation::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Looks at her console and notices a text message from the other shuttle::

XO_Spicer says:
#::Rolls up his sleeve:: CMO: Have you figured out how to get the communicators subdermally implanted or some other method?

CMO_Sovok says:
#XO: I'm just here to install the hardware... I'm sure our new SO would understand how it all works though... ::Begins the injections::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CEO: That'll keepss us offs their sensors, I ams hopingss.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Reads the message and resets the engine harmonics accordingly::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Grabs his tricorder, then hands it to TO Tigger:: TO: All you have to do is turn it on and then run program Corjet 07.  It will invert the received frequencies and send them back, it will make it look like there's no one here.  But don't try to move too much... It's not fool proof.

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The formation approaches the entrance to the security perimeter.

CEO_Corjet says:
@<TO Tigger> ::Nods to the commander:: CEO: Ahhh... ::Looks at it:: But what if it fails? ::Looks up to the Chief::

Host Breloc says:
$::Signals all the ships to come to full stop then inputs his security codes into the computer and sends::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CEO: Slow to 1/3 impulse. Inform shuttle 1 to follow my lead.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Eyes open in surprise:: TO: Good point... ::Grabs another tricorder and starts to program that one too:: I'll give you another one just incase.

CMO_Sovok says:
#::Moves around the shuttle injecting everyone::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Raises her sleeve for Sovok::

TO_Expendable says:
#::Receives the injection:: CMO: Well, it didn't hurt.... ::Giggles::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Within minutes, several ships appear and take up defensive positions around Breloc's ships and the shuttles.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks over to the CSO with concern:: CSO: Aye... ::Pauses a moment and then sends a text message to Shuttle 1 to have them slow too::

TO_Expendable says:
#XO/CTO: They are all small fighters, Commander.  They all seem to have the same weapons configuration.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Looks at her console and slows the shuttle::

Host Breloc says:
$COM: Shuttle One: XO: Stay close, Commander.  Don't make any sudden moves least they open fire.  We will be cleared to proceed shortly.

CEO_Corjet says:
@<TO Tigger> ::Looks at the tricorder with renewed surprise:: Self: I didn't think they could do all that. ::Sits down examining it::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CEO: Okay, bring it to full stop.

XO_Spicer says:
#COM: Breloc: Acknowledged.

CMO_Sovok says:
#::Injects Bao last and finishes his rounds:: All: Well, I'm all done.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#CMO: Good luck Sovok.

XO_Spicer says:
#*CSO*: Let's test the communication signal. ::Attempts to communicate with the shuttle using the implant::

XO_Spicer says:
#::Nods to the Doctor::

Host Breloc says:
$::Signals his small fleet of ships to move forward through the security grid.  Proceeds slowly and with caution.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks over at his console and nods:: CSO: Reading full stop.

TO_Running_Horse says:
@CEO: Sir you have found a way to keep me from being detected?  If not I have an idea.

XO_Spicer says:
#CTO/*CSO*: Follow Breloc's ship in.  Follow it exactly.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Finishes up with the reprogramming and hands it  to TO Tigger:: TO: There you go... Don't forget... Program Corjet 07. ::Turns to the other TO::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Smiles:: TO: Running Horse... I've changed my mind. ::Points to TO Tigger:: He'll be staying behind.

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#XO: Of course, Rick.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@*XO*: Yes, Sir.

CEO_Corjet says:
@<TO Tigger> ::Looks up at hearing his name after looking over the second tricorder and nods with a stupid grin::

TO_Expendable says:
#::Finishes the adjustments of the shielding program::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The security grid entrance is lined with several spheres.  The spheres are sentries and will open fire if any offensive movement is detected.

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks out of the shuttle and points:: ALL: Wow!  They're pretty heavily armed.  ::Shakes his head and regains his composure::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Takes a deep breath, mentally preparing herself::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Breloc's ships move in closer to the shuttles to avoid hitting the spheres.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@::Follows Breloc move for move with fluent precision::

TO_Expendable says:
#XO: Keeping the weapon systems totally off line. ::Mumbles:: I certainly don't like this.

TO_Running_Horse says:
@::Looks and also sees what the CEO sees::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Breloc leads the small formation to a landing sight.

Host Breloc says:
$COM: Shuttle One and Two: Pilots: Follow my lead.  We are going to land at these coordinates.  ::Sends the coordinates to the shuttles::

CEO_Corjet says:
@<TO Tigger> ::Looks out the window as his jaw drops:: Self: I better hide now... ::Sets the program on the tricorder to Corjet 07 and stuffs himself into an access panel::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: The ships begin to descend as the landing sight comes into range.

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@COM: Breloc: Acknowledgesss

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks to the CSO:: CSO: Received coordinates. ::Sends them to the CSO's console::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@::Sets in the landing coordinates::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Inputs the landing coordinates and wonders again why Rick told her to drive::

Host SM_Darlene says:
ACTION: Breloc brings his ship in and lands as the rest of the ships and the two shuttles follow.

TO_Expendable says:
#::Feels the normal landing shudder::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Breathes a sigh of relief::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Goes back to monitoring the shuttle's performance and nods with satisfaction:: Self: Well... They'll need an overhaul when we get back. ::Pats the shuttle's console:: I'll take good care of you both when we get back...

Host Breloc says:
$::Powers down the engines and gets his gear out of the locker::

XO_Spicer says:
#*ALL*/ALL: Okay, everyone, show time.

TO_Expendable says:
#XO: Aye, Sir. Indeed.

CEO_Corjet says:
<TO Tigger> ::Struggles with being so cramped in the access panel.  He prays that the first tricorder works::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Cracks her knuckles and stretches::

TO_Expendable says:
#CTO: you did a great job flying the ship, Cmdr.

Host Breloc says:
$::Opens the door and exits his ship.  Turns to look at the rest of his ships and the shuttles landing::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Takes a deep breath after saying a prayer to The Prophets in his mind:: ALL: Are we all ready?

TO_Expendable says:
#::Gets ready to disembark::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#TO: Thank you. ::Smiles::

XO_Spicer says:
#::Pats the Type I phaser under his shirt readying himself to disembark::

Host Breloc says:
ACTION: Several pirates move into position and surround the landing pad.

CEO_Corjet says:
@<TO Tigger> ::Stifles a grunt and moves into a slightly more comfortable position.  He starts repeating in his mind: "Please don't fail... Please work.  Good tricorder!" He pats the tricorder like a little baby::

CSO_T`pucnamushi says:
@CEO: I ams readiesss.

XO_Spicer says:
#ALL/*ALL*: Let's do it. ::Disembarks::

CTO_Rr`Vellan says:
#::Follows Rick, looking around at the ship::

CEO_Corjet says:
@::Looks over at T'pucnamushi:: CSO: Aye... Ready to depart? ::Starts the power down sequence for the shuttles::
