Host XO_Sheridan says:
CEO: Well let's have it.
TO_Mistral says:
::wonders what::
Host XO_Sheridan says:
CSO: Stay with it Matisse.
CEO_Jah`d says:
XO: If we can fly close enough to one of two of the pyramids, we could activate the verteron emitters for the Transphase drive. With the emitters out of alignment they won't work for us, but if I could rework the programing, I might be able to have a rift partial open and collapse on the Grob...

FCO-Exeter says:
::Grins:: Self: The odds just changed ::smiles::
CEO_Jah`d says:

Host XO_Sheridan says:
CTO: How are our shields holding up?
CTO_Black says:
XO: Commander, if I might suggest we take the Hawk through the wreckages of the Faction Fleet that have already been abandoned... we can minimize the hits on us....
CEO_Jah`d says:
CSO: Can you begins scans, try to locate the weakest part of the Grob formation...that should be where we'll strike...
CTO_Black says:

TO_Mistral says:
::wonders if someone will inform the CMO about the FCO's possible instability::
CIV_Captain_Turner says:
XO: Yes Commander. ::Strides from the upper deck to the lower and sits at the OPS console::
Host XO_Sheridan says:
FCO: I said negative...the shuttle's shields can't withstand their fire power.
Host Com_Biship says:
ACTION: As the Nighthawk moves closer to the Faction fleet the CSO's console begins to beep with a comm signature.
TO_Mistral says:
::then remembers the whole crew is nuts,including himself::
CSO_Matisse says:
XO: I'm getting a comm signature...
Host XO_Sheridan says:
CIV: Divert all power to the shields...except for sickbay and life support.
