Host Karriaunna says:
Synopsis:  The ore was delivered and the ship has its coil system upgrade along with the programming so that in tight quick maneuvers, if need be, the weapons can fire on automatic.  Hopefully the crew had a nice R&R and are ready to work. The NightHawk is on its way to meet up with Dine', a new academy training vessel.

ACEO: Aye sir, I'll help however I can.

CTO_Black says:
::checks the simulation sensors::  XO: Damage from their weapons fire is nominal....

XO_Sheridan says:
CSN: Can you detect any weakness in the Dine's shields?

Captain_Eldad says:
@OPS: I need more power to the impulse engines, reduce the life support in decks 2,3.. we don't have any one there anyway

XO_Sheridan says:
CTO: Understood Cmdr.

ACEO_Jah`d says:
FCO: I'll need you to keep the programming on track until it fully integrates into the system. There may be an overlap time before the systems gains full control.

CTO_Black says:
ACEO: Aye, we should coordinate that with the new systems...if we program the new maneuver into it’s control system it should execute it...

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@CO: Understood. ::Carries out decreasing life support and routes all available power to the engines::

::turns toward the ACEO puzzled look on his face but turns to panel and complies::

CMO_Tekla says:
::sets internal sensors to check Cargo bay for all anomalies::

CTO_Black says:
::manually adjusts the firing pattern slightly and locks onto the Dine'::

FCO_Terman says:
CO: Acknowledged.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: How is the Dine' responding to our attacks?

ACEO_Jah`d says:
::Reopens his display and once again tries to send a signal to the Dine's deflector in attempt to access their systems::

CTO_Black says:
CO: I have slightly corrected the Computers firing pattern... They seem to be in the dark....they have no targeting lock on us at the moment...

XO_Sheridan says:
:;looks over at the CNS:: CNS: Counselor, what about the sensors, did boosting the gain help?

FCO_Terman says:
::flies the ship down to the underbelly of the Dine’::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Stands :: Curious.........::Walks to tactical display::

CMO_Tekla says:
::sensors pick up nothing out of the ordinary::  Self: puzzling......

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Fire shoots out of nowhere at the Dine', passing through it.

ACEO_Jah`d says:
::Smiles a slight transmitter signal gets through. He begins trying to by-pass security clearances and gets back into his old 'hacker' persona:: XO: Commander, I've gained minimal access into the Dine's computer systems...

CNS_Jace says:
XO: I'm not sure....... reinitializing sensors and recalibrating.

Captain_Eldad says:
@::Looks shocked:: CTO: Fire at the origin of that, full spread.. now!

Host Karriaunna says:
<Starfleet Command> COMM:  Dine':  What exactly is the current situation?

CDT_CTO_Vedllun says:
@::Firing at full power::

FCO_Terman says:
:::activates attack pattern Delta::

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@Captain: Cloaking device?

XO_Sheridan says:
ACEO: Well done Cmdr. Let's see  if we can get their shields down.

Captain_Eldad says:
@Com: SF: No thing at the moment, we solved it

Captain_Eldad says:
@XO: At SF hands? it's against the rules

CTO_Black says:
::shows the CO the readings of the Dine' and the sensor readings and waits for his comment::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Something’s not right

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Captain, we have contact with the Dine's computer...albeit minimal.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  NightHawk begins to get strange readings from its sensors.

TO_Mistral says:
::looks at screen for a moment::self:its like they don’t see us at all::gets a puzzled look on his face::

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@XO: Sir...

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@Captain: I know but I have no explanation for this .... unless our sensors have been tampered with .. or they have a way to inhibit them

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: They don't seem to  see us

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@XO: That last shot did no noticeable damage...

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The NightHawk is suddenly visible on the Dine's screen, to the port side of them.

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: You too sir? I had the same feeling.

CDT_CTO_Vedllun says:
@CO: The Nighthawk is on screen. Shall I fire?

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@OPS: But it was on an intercept course? ::checks the data::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
ACEO: Take computer control offline

Captain_Eldad says:
@FCO: Evasive maneuvers!

CTO_Black says:
::nods::  CO: That would be my best guess....

Captain_Eldad says:
@CTO: Full spread

CDT_CTO_Vedllun says:
@CO: Firing.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
FCO: All stop

ACEO_Jah`d says:
CO: Understood. ::Gives the shutdown code for the programming and begins to charge up manual fire control::

TO_Mistral says:
::grips his panel tightly::

FCO_Terman says:
::stops the ship::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Keep shields up just in case

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Hail the Dine'

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@Captain: Now I am starting to think someone is playing a game with us ::eyes the captain suspiciously::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  As the Dine's weapons score along the NightHawks aft side, they see the ship once again flicker out of existence.

CDT_CTO_Vedllun says:
@CO: It disappeared!

FCO_Terman says:
Self: nice handling.

Captain_Eldad says:
@::Looks mad:: CTO: Stop firing

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Aye sir....::opens a channel:: COMM: Dine': This is the Nighthawk, come in please.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Grabs console as phasers shake:: They see us now!

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@Captain/OPS: What if it wasn't really there? could it be a hologram or a projection of some sort?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Belay that

Host CO_Cerdan says:
::Returns to seat::

Captain_Eldad says:
@OPS: Do me a favor, scan the laser systems for errors

CDT_CTO_Vedllun says:
@::Keeps firing::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Fire at will

Captain_Eldad says:
@CTO: I said stop firing!

XO_Sheridan says:
::cuts the Comm:: CO: Tray?

CTO_Black says:
CO: Understood...  ::keeps shields up and looks surprised as weapons fire hits the shields again::

ACEO_Jah`d says:
::Attempts to access the Dine's computer control::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
FCO: Set course 115.026 engage full impulse

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: They certainly can see us now

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@::Begins to run a simulation:: CO: No apparent errors present sir.

FCO_Terman says:
:: Heads to co-ordinates 115,026 at full impulse::

CTO_Black says:
::loads the photon torpedoes manually and targets the Dine's side shields manually::

CDT_CTO_Vedllun says:
@CO: Oops, right, sorry.

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Sounds like a glitch in the computer simulation Captain.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The NightHawks weapons lance out at the Dine', stronger then intended.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
FCO: Bring us around again

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Phasers only

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@::Grabs hold of his console with a gasp::

FCO_Terman says:
::obeys the CO:: CO: Coming around.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Or some academy wizard is testing us

Captain_Eldad says:
@::Falls to his chair:: All: How can we attack some thing we can't see?

ACEO_Jah`d says:
CO: We should have full control any moment now...

XO_Sheridan says:
ACEO: Cmdr. power levels on the Dine?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: I don't like being made a fool

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@Self: Some exercise .. at least we didn't re route power from inertial dampers ... yet

TO_Mistral says:
::starts muttering a few klingon curses he picked up on his old job::

CTO_Black says:
::notices the high yield explosives hitting the Dine'::  CO/XO: It seems that our weapons are still effected somehow...the yield of those torpedoes was increased....

Captain_Eldad says:
@CTO: Next time you see them target their weapons control::

ACEO_Jah`d says:
TO: Signal for Engineering Team ETA to check the computer core for any errors in the software programming...

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO: Can you identify the cause?

XO_Sheridan says:
::smiles at Tray::CO: Some brass admiral's new toy I expect.

ACEO_Jah`d says:
::Checks his display:: XO: 85% of norm, ma'am.

CDT_CTO_Vedllun says:
@CO: I will.

TO_Mistral says:
::complies then mutters curse::

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: Would be my guess

XO_Sheridan says:
CTO: Is the computer program offline Cmdr?

CTO_Black says:
::turns to the ACEO::  ACEO: Commander, are those subroutines between the weapons systems and the automatic computer control still active...?

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@Captain:If I may say so,this is hardly a fair test of our abilities!

CTO_Black says:
CO/XO: Checking now, Sir, Ma´am...

Captain_Eldad says:
@XO: I know, some thing is wrong here..

ACEO_Jah`d says:
::Makes an attempt to shut down the Dine's shields or complete computer control with anger and sighs:: CTO: Negative...all systems control will be established to you...

Host CO_Cerdan says:
FCO: Take us 500,000km out and hold position

Captain_Eldad says:
@OPS: Run a tachyon scan

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@::takes a deep breathe::

FCO_Terman says:
::heads out 500,000km and turns around to face the Dine::

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@XO: ...I think we're supposed to realize from this that Starfleet is rarely fair.

Host CO_Cerdan says:
XO: I don't like this

ACEO_Jah`d says:
::Taps in his command codes and hopes that it will allow him to access the Dine's shield control::

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@::raises an eyebrow at OPS:: OPS:If starfleet isn't fair then who is?

XO_Sheridan says:
CO: Well Tray, SF will not be pleased with this.

CTO_Black says:
::grumbles softly::  CO/XO: Subroutines seem to be offline...checking possible causes now...

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@XO: ...no one. Life isn't, why should we?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The Dine's shields flicker and alter their setting.

Captain_Eldad says:
@::Looks at the OPS:: OPS: You are right

XO_Sheridan says:
All: All stations, report!

Host CO_Cerdan says:
ACEO: The weapons control has been disengaged correct?

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@OPS:This is hardly the time to discus such philosophies

CDT_OPS_Daventport says:
@XO: The odds will either be in our favor or against...we just have to learn to take advantage of what we have to work with.

ACEO_Jah`d says:
CO: Affirmative...

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@OPS/captain:Then lets destroy .. er..I mean lets defeat the nighthawk!

XO_Sheridan says:
CTO: Status?

Host CO_Cerdan says:
CTO/CNS: Give me every reading you can get on the Dine'

Captain_Eldad says:
@XO: Now you're talking!

TO_Mistral says:
::checks the engineering panel::

Captain_Eldad says:
@CTO: Power up the laser banks, fire all around us.. one must hit.. once we hit, fire every thing we got at that location, and I mean overload them!

CTO_Black says:
CO/XO: All diagnostics show nothing wrong.....weapons systems should work perfectly...

Cdt_XO_Alia says:
@Captain: Perhaps we can try the Picard maneuver .. its seldomly used so they shouldn't be expecting it. We warp for a few seconds just to be close to them and then fire only a few meters away

XO_Sheridan says:
CTO: Understood

Captain_Eldad says:
@XO: Yes.. but where?

FCO_Terman says:
::sits back, finding that he enjoys flying after all::
