Host CDR_Style says:
The crew of the USS Cutlass is enroute to destroy a currently off-line Dominion Command Post.   Authorized to use a cloaking device, they are ordered to perform a surgical strike on this base.

<<<<<<<<< RESUME MISSION>>>>>>>>>>

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::in engineering::

COO_Cain says:
::at OPS ready to engage the outpost::

FCOVector says:
::at helm leaning back and twidling his thumbs::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::patting the cloaking device gently with bandaged fingers::

CTO_Alex says:
::watches the sensor displays closely::

Host CDR_Style says:
::Sits at the Captains right hand::

Host CO_Louis says:
:: In the Captain's chair ::

Host CO_Louis says:
Vector: ETA?

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::looking at all the blinking lights on the cloaking device and wondering if it was made thirty years ago, when blinking lights were popular::

COO_Cain says:
::verifying power allocations to cloaking device::

CSO_Troj says:
:: Checking sensor readings and verifying targeting ::

Host CDR_Style says:
CTO:  Weapons and cloak status.

CTO_Alex says:
CDR: All are running within specs

FCOVector says:
::lazily taps the panel::CO: A Few minutes sir

Host CDR_Style says:
CTO:  Very well.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::receiving a report from the galley that a cooking panel is malfunctioning::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::forwarding the malfunction report to Engineering crewman Habilis::

Host CDR_Style says:
CO:  Sir, I think I've found a way to fire on the station without de-cloaking.

Host CDR_Style says:
<CO>:  Tell me more, Commander.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
<Habilis>  ::glancing down at manicured hands before picking up toolkit and heading to the galley::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
<Habilis> ::entering galley::  Now, what seems to be the problem?

FCOVector says:
::wonders where the Commander stuck the massive power generators and how he masked the power output::

Host CDR_Style says:
CO:  We can fire a particle beam through the main deflector dish.  Since we use it during warp without decloaking, we should also be able to fire with it.

CTO_Alex says:
::checks the possibility that the CDR suggests::

Host CDR_Style says:
ALL:  I'm willing to take suggestions if anyone disagrees.

CTO_Alex says:
CDR: I would not recommend that route, unless we had no other choice

Host ENG_Bungl says:
<Galley Chief>  The panel won't heat up.  I wanted to make some coffee the old-fashioned way before we hit combat, but I'm running out of time.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
<Habilis>  Never fear, Engineer Habilis is here.  ::wry grin::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
<Habilis>  ::removing the panel and tinkering with the circuits behind it::

CTO_Alex says:
::checks some calculations::

Host CDR_Style says:
Bungl:  What's your location?

FCOVector says:
Cdr:Sir hwo much of the ship will have to be evacuated due to radiaton danger?

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*Habilis*  How's that cooking panel repair coming?

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*Style*  Engineering sir.

CTO_Alex says:
CDR: I have a far fetched idea, that may work or may not.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
<Habilis>  *Bungl*  Almost finished.  It was easy.

Host CDR_Style says:
CTO:  Go ahead, CTO.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::rolling eyes at Habilis' over-confidence::  That guy is so good looking and everything he does is perfect.  ::sigh::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::grabbing a hyperspanner and dropping it on foot::   OW!

CTO_Alex says:
CDR: What if we project our cloak around a torpedo and launch it...once it passes the projected cloak, it would appear, and hopefully make it too late for anyone to react.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::hopping around on one foot, holding the other::

COO_Cain says:
CDR:  We are able to use the deflector dish for warp because of the warp signature's energy charasteristics.  A particle beam must be matched to those exact specifications in order for that to work.  I'm not sure, but I don't think that can be done with a particle beam.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::bumping up against the open toolbox and spilling the contents all over the engineering deck::

COO_Cain says:
CDR:  Same goes with firing a torpedo.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
Aawwww....

Host CDR_Style says:
CO:  It's your choice, sir.  Which method do we employ?

FCOVector says:
Cdr:and any one of those would generate enough of a power signature that we'd be spotted cloak or no cloak

Host CO_Louis says:
Style: Do you have confidence in the piloting skills aboard this vessel?

CTO_Alex says:
COO: What if the projected cloak for the torpedo was made to match?

Host CDR_Style says:
CO:  Yes sir.

FCOVector says:
::hope sthe CDR chooses his words carefully::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::picking up tools and limping::

Host CO_Louis says:
:: Casually spoken :: Then my recommendation is 'full boar'. We go in, decloak, fire, cloak and run like hell. Any objections?

Host CDR_Style says:
FCO:  That's correct.  But at least they won't know that until after we've fired.

FCOVector says:
Co:Just my style sir

CTO_Alex says:
::has never worked with cloak technology, but throwing out ideas anyway::

COO_Cain says:
CO:  That's always been a good strategy.

Host CO_Louis says:
:: Looks around the bridge for objections ::

Host CDR_Style says:
ALL:  The cloak is just to get us there undetected.

CTO_Alex says:
CO: I agree, since no other way has presented itself

Host CO_Louis says:
:: Looking towards Vector :: I believe that our abilities will prevail.

Host CDR_Style says:
FCO:  How long until we reach our target?

Host CO_Louis says:
:: Crosses legs and sits back :: Make it so.

FCOVector says:
Cdr:we run straight down their throats undetected and get out, sounds about right to me

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::accidently kicking a wrench under the plasma manifold::

Host CDR_Style says:
FCO:  I'm glad you approve.

COO_Cain says:
CO:  We should make sure we target the most vulnerable area which will cause the most damage.  What would that be?

CTO_Alex says:
::programs firing solutions to match the cloak's operations::

Host CO_Louis says:
Cain: Work with T'Roj to recommend a target.

COO_Cain says:
CO:  Aye sir.

FCOVector says:
Cdr:about 15 minutes..... sir, give or take a few seconds

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::sigh::

Host CDR_Style says:
CO:  I recommend the CSO triangulate the location of their main power source.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::pulls a mini gravitic pulse emitter from a pocket and slides under the manifold housing::

CSO_Troj says:
Commander: Working. :: Adjusting sensors to coordinate with the targeting array and searching for a power source.

COO_Cain says:
T'Roj:  Bring up all the data we have on the outpost, perhaps you can identify where the main computer core is or even where the weapons depot is.  If we can destroy those two targets, perhaps the whole outpost will go.

FCOVector says:
::leans back in his chair and sip some rak'djino to get ready for the battle::

CSO_Troj Cain: Here is the most current targeting data. :: Taps console and sends information :: (~.wav)

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::cursing as uniform tunic catches on the manifold housing and tears at the shoulder::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::grabbing the wrench and sliding it back out from under the manifold housing::       oof

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::standing and trying to smooth out stained tunic and examining rip with bandaged fingers::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::muttering::  I hope no one calls me to the bridge looking like this....

CTO_Alex says:
::finishes his programming::

CSO_Troj says:
Cain: I recommend we target the primary shielding array, and the main power conduits. The power generation is buried deep within the outpost and doesn't offer itself for a target. The conduits will serve adequately.

Host CDR_Style says:
Action:  The cloak blows a relay.  In 60 seconds it will go off line.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::ducking as the cloaking device whines and a panel pops off with a hiss::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
Uh oh

Host CO_Louis says:
ACTION: *Computer* Warning: Cloaking device will go offline in 60 seconds. :: Countdown in backgroun::

FCOVector says:
::notices a red light on his panel::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
That can't be good....   ::tapping on the console::

Host CO_Louis says:
:: Abruptly stands :: *Engineering* Status!

Host CDR_Style says:
::Oh, boy::

CTO_Alex says:
::notices his programs sending error messages::

COO_Cain says:
T'roj:  when we decloak their shields will be down.  There must be a target we can destroy that will create the most damage and will take the longest to repair.  The shield array would be a great idea if we had another ship with us fighting.  Can you find another primary target?

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*CO*  Uh...having a little problem here...I'll get right back to you....

FCOVector says:
::mutters, danr that incompetnt engineer::

CTO_Alex says:
CDR/CO: The cloaking device is failing, Sir....or my console is

CSO_Troj says:
Cain: The power conduits, as I stated, will trigger a chain reaction. :: Spoken cooly like a good Vulcan ::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::tracing the failure to a coupler relay shortage::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::walking swiftly over to the replicator panel and smashing it open with a wrench::

Host CO_Louis says:
*Bungl* We don't have much time... be quick or we're dead!

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::yanking a coupler relay out of the replicator and going back to the cloaking device::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::trying to ignore the Captain''s communications::

Host CDR_Style says:
ACTION:  Sensors detect two Jem Hadar attack ships in the area.

COO_Cain says:
T'Roj:  Than that is the recommendation we will go with.  Give the CO and CTO the recommendation.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::putting the coupler relay into the cloaking device and ripping off a sticky finger bandage to hold it in place::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::rerouting through the coupler relay again::

CTO_Alex says:
CO: JH Attack ships are in the area.....we will be vulnerable without a cloak

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*CO*  Sir,  how's that?

FCOVector says:
::hears the proximity alarm and jumps into position, he drops the mug of rak'djino and it smashes on the deck::

Host CO_Louis says:
:: Steps down from the pedastal of the Captains station and starts to pace slowly while listening to the computer count down ::

::wiping sweat from brow::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*COO*  Is my last repair holding on the cloaking device?

FCOVector says:
Co:we have reached our destination sir

Host CDR_Style says:
<CO> All Stop.

COO_Cain says:
Bungl:  Appearantly it has.

CTO_Alex says:
::notices the programs reset themselves as the cloaking device comes back online::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*whew*         *COO*  Good....uh...Bungl out.

FCOVector says:
CO:Aye sir ::taps his panel and brings the ship to a halt on a dime::

CTO_Alex says:
::readies to engage the programs as needed::

Host CDR_Style says:
*Bungl* Very nicely done.

Host CO_Louis says:
:: Sits :: Alex: Set your targets as T'Roj has projected.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::muttering::  now there's something I've never heard....    *Style*  Uh, thank you sir.

CTO_Alex says:
CO: Aye sir

Host CO_Louis says:
Vector: Lay in your escape route.

CTO_Alex says:

COO_Cain says:
::scanning::

FCOVector says:
::makes last minute familiarlizations with the ships escape manuevers:: CO:already done sir

CSO_Troj says:
Style: I detect a system that is currently inactive.

Host CDR_Style says:
CSO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Louis says:
Cain: Status?

Host CDR_Style says:
CO:  Well, sir.  It's do or die.

CTO_Alex says:
::has his fingers ready to initiate the firing sequences::

COO_Cain says:
CO:  Sensors indicate the outpost is just as we expected it to be.  Open for attack with no other ships in the area.

FCOVector says:
::wonders what we're waiting for::

Host CO_Louis says:
Style: It's now or never... any more cute colloquialisms?

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::glancing over at the wrecked food replicator panel::  The shuttlebay techs are just going to love my report.

Host CDR_Style says:
CO:  None, sir.

CTO_Alex says:
COO: What happened to the JH Attack ships?

Host CO_Louis says:
*All* Ok, folks on my mark we go.

COO_Cain says:
CTO:  Their warp signature indicate that they left the quadrant on a heading toward Cardasia.

CTO_Alex says:

COO_Cain says:
CO:  JH ships will intercept in 20 minutes sir.

Host CO_Louis says:
Cain: Acknowledged.

CTO_Alex says:
CO: Ready for second volley, Sir

CSO_Troj says:
Captain: Something isn't right here. Our initial volley should have taken all power off-line. All targeting scenarios show that we should continue with the same approach. Our other alternative is to target the command and control functions to disable the station, not destroy it.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
::monitoring bridge functions::

FCOVector says:
::prepares a strafing run over the C&C position::

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*Style*  The cloaking device is down to about 87% effectiveness.

Host CDR_Style says:
*Bungl* That means were are visible.  Get on it.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*Style*  All that disengaging and re-engaging after the...uh...ad hoc repair put a strain on it.

Host CO_Louis says:
*Bungl* Our get-away depends on your talents, get us up and running.

FCOVector says:
CO, CDR: I have an Idea  CTO:can you configure a few photon torps with proximity fuses?

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*Style*  I'm working on it...

CTO_Alex says:
::notices power levels stabilizing in the weapons array::

CTO_Alex says:

*CO*  Sir, I've temporarily slowed a leak in the coolant system of the cloaking device, but it won't hold long.

CSO_Troj says:
Captain: Too many direct hits and we will loose the shields before the cloak goes off line.

Host CO_Louis says:
*Engineering* Acknowledged.

Host ENG_Bungl says:
*CO*  You might say I used something up my sleeve.

Cain: Status of the cloak.

CTO_Alex says:
CO: May I suggest going to warp and out of here?

FCOVector says:
CDR:thats what i have been doing sir...
