Episode 168 "Prelude to Invasion, Part 8."  An Away team has made it aboard the Tetra and have begun to make their way towards the screaming babies.  Cmdr Jarot has turned towards the crying while Capt MacPherson-Quest took a detour into the unknown.  On board the ship preparations are being made to find a way home.

OPS-Qui says:
:: On the bridge at the secondary engineering console ::
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: On the bridge at main OPS ::
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Watches the bio signs of the Away Team ::

ACTION:  The bio signs of the away team keep fading in and out.

CO_Savar says:
::Sitting silently in the center chair::
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: His fingers fly over his console as he tries to boost the gain to keep a solid lock on the Away Team ::
CTO_Jarot says:
@::moves his tricorder over the boxes that contain the babies and nods in softly::  Self: They seem to be doing well...
TO_Alonso says:
::Looks around the bridge thinking I finally made it here::

ACTION:  Beeping could be heard coming from one of the incubators.  Suddenly the room is a beehive of activity.

OPS-Qui says:
:: Nods at TO as he enters the bridge ::
TO_Alonso says:
CO: Reporting for duty, sir.
CTO_Jarot says:
@::raising his eyebrow he moves to the incubator that just seized to display activity, moving his tricorder above it::
CO_Savar says:
TO: Welcome to the Bridge, Ensign.  What readings are you getting from the tetrahedron?  Any indication they've noticed our away team or our constant surveillance?
Host Remphold says:
@::reaches the incubator and sees what seems to be human and looks at him in disgust.::  CTO:  What do you think you are going to do?
TO_Alonso says:
CO: ::Looks over his finding:: Readings are negative sir there they haven't noticed the Luna, but I am reading a slight build up in the second tetrahedron.

ACTION:  Suddenly a hole in space opens up and another ships emerges.  It is not a tetrahedron but from the information received from the Vesuvius it is definitely a Knosis ship.

CO_Savar says:
TO: What kind of buildup?
TO_Alonso says:
CO: I'm reading two tetrahedrons, sir
CTO_Jarot says:
@::glancing at Remphold he makes a few notes and turns his attention to what appears to be some sort of computer console and moves to it::  Remphold: I doubt you would understand.... and seeing what you are doing here, I seriously doubt you would even understand what I am saying right now... ::hovers his tricorder over the computer console and tries to retrieve information from the computer records::
TO_Alonso says:
CO: Sir, the tetrahedrons are moving toward the new ship to intercept.
CO_Savar says:
Helm: Hold our position.  OPS: Get what readings you can of that ship.  TO: Tactical analysis.
Host Remphold says:
@CTO:  Maybe I can show you that I do understand.  Would you like to contribute to the cause even though in the end you may not have a choice.  Tell me.... hmmmm your name?  I am called Remphold.  I am the lead doctor on this mission and as you can see, these are my children.
TO_Alonso says:
CO: Analysis shows that there weapons system is of the same level as Galaxy-Class Ship.
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: His fingers fly over his console as he tries to get any reading from that ship ::
CO_Savar says:
TO: So, we are slightly outclassed alone.  ::Wonders if the Vesuvius has managed to get their weapons and shields back to 100%::
CTO_Jarot says:
::glances at Remphold and shakes his head, grinning softly::  Remphold: I think not... "Doctor"... ::draws his phaser and aims for him as he fires a wide beam at Remphold::
OPS-Sanchez says:
CO: Sir, I'm unable to get any reading regarding the inside of the ship
Host Remphold says:
@::Goes flying back screaming.  Alarms go off in the nursery.::

ACTION:  A group of guards descend upon the CTO.

CO_Savar says:
OPS: How.. unsurprising.  Some sort of dampening field?
CTO_Jarot says:
@::hears the alarms and shakes his head::  Self: Figures...  ::taps his commbadge::  *Luna*: Jarot to the Luna... we might have overstayed our welcome here...prepare for an emergency beam out...
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Still doing what he can to get anything from the new tetrahedron ::   CO: It's possible sir...I'm still try
CO_Savar says:
::Stands:: OPS: Get him out of there!

ACTION: The Luna receives a message full of static

CTO_Jarot says:
@::grabs his tricorder, putting it back in his phaser while moving away, firing at the incoming guards::
TO_Alonso says:
CO: Sir, I'm reading a blip of weapons fire on the tetrahedron on the CTO's position.
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Fingers hit several buttons as he initiates the transport ::

ACTION:  One by one the guards fall.  But more still come.

OPS-Sanchez says:
Self: Damn it!   :: Fingers fly over his console as he tries to boost the gain on the bio signs of the Away Team ::

ACTION: Communications come alive with traffic from the Knosis ship.  It sounds like the are preparing to fire, but the ship turns away from the tetrahedron and faces Earth.

CTO_Jarot says:
@::firing at the guards he moves out of the room of babies, tapping his commbadge again::  *CIV*: Captain, this is Jarot... suggest we make our departure right now.... we'll meet each other at our beam in point...  ::turns and begins running through the adjacent corridor::
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Hears the increased traffic and notes the difference in the sound of the signal ::   CO: Sir!  It sounds as if the new ship is preparing to fire...but now...   :: Looks at the screen ::  ...they are moving towards Earth.

ACTION:  The CTO receives no reply from the CIV.

CO_Savar says:
OPS: Signal the Vesuvius to join us... we've got to ensure they don't destroy the planet.
CO_Savar says:
Helm: Helm, set an intercept course.
OPS-Sanchez says:
CO: Aye, sir.   :: Sends the information to the Vesuvius ::
CTO_Jarot says:
@::continues running, shaking his head::  Self: Figures... all these darn security measures in place..  ::takes his tricorder, breathing more rapidly as he searches a way to the bridge of the ship::
CO_Savar says:
OPS: When you have completed that, signal the shuttlebay.  I'd like a shuttle ready to launch, in case the Luna needs to travel out of transporter range.
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Finishes the message to the Luna ::  CO: Aye sir.
OPS-Qui says:
:: Sends a message to the shuttle bay to prepare a shuttle ::
CO_Savar says:
::The ship accelerates to impulse power as the move::  TO: What's the status of our shields?
CO_Savar says:
OPS: Lieutenant, find a way to open a channel to the new ship
TO_Alonso says:
CO: Shields holding at 85%, Sir
CTO_Jarot says:
@::tries to configure his tricorder to transmit his comm messages between the brief shield gaps::  *Luna*: Luna, this is Jarot...can you read me...?
OPS-Sanchez says:
CO: Aye sir...   :: Opens a channel to the new tetrahedron. ::   Channel opened on all known frequencies, and all known languages
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Hears an incoming from the Away Team ::   CTO: Sanchez here, sir!  I read you!
CO_Savar says:
COM: Vessel: Unidentified vessel, this is Savar, Captain of the Luna.  Please respond.
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Still boosting the gain to the transporters so he can get a better lock on the Away Team. ::
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Listens for any response from the new vessel ::    CO: No answer, Captain....
CTO_Jarot says:
@::sighs in relief::  *Luna*: Good to hear your voice... shit has hit the fan on this end... we need retrieval ASAP...
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Smiles ::  CTO: I've got you... initiating transport now....
OPS-Sanchez says:
:: Sees he has locked onto the CTO, but not the CIV... ::   Self: Damn!   :: Fingers continue to fly over his console trying to get a lock on the CIV ::
CO_Savar says:
COM: Vessel: Unidentified vessel, you will stand down from your destructive intentions, or we will be forced to take action against you.  We are aware of your conflict with the Nezi, and are willing to discuss a possible alliances.

ACTION:  The CTO materializes on the bridge.

CTO_Jarot says:
::materializes on the bridge, seeing the internals of the bridge appear before his eyes, still breathing rapidly::
OPS-Qui says:
:: Knows Sanchez can handle any thrown at him, and continues her research ::
OPS-Qui says:
CO: Sir...I'm unable to get a lock on the Capt. MacPherson-Quest.  Trying to boost the gain and get a strong signal from him now....
CTO_Jarot says:
::makes his way to the tactical console and nods at the TO::  TO: Good to see you made your way to the bridge, Ensign...
TO_Alonso says:
CTO: Good to see you made it too sir.

ACTION:  An energy beam builds up on the Knosis ship and before anyone realizes the beam exits the ship and drives straight towards earth.

CTO_Jarot says:
::grins::  TO: Indeed, that was a close call... what's the status here?
