Missing in Action

Summary:  
The captain was healed of the mystery illness.  He joined the others on the bridge to discuss his plans.  As the crew listened, they pointed out issues they do not believe would work and gave suggestions that might.
The conclusion?  They would need lots of prayers and a miracle or two to pull this off.

Time Lapse:
    Time to prepare the shuttle

Mission Facts:
•	There had been 16 ships in the shipping yard in various stages of repair.  Two of the ships were ready for flight.  One, its compliment aboard has taken off towards Sol while the other is also ready for deport, their crew is not fully aboard.  Three of the vessels are functional enough to defend the station should they have crew.  One of those vessels is swarming with repair teams while the other two have only a few people aboard.  

•	Of the other new ships eleven, four are near completion and depending on the schedule, depends on the individuals on board.  Of the other seven, they are in various stages of building, from being just a hull to waiting for their engines to be fitted.

Announcements:
•	The Mirror Finalé will be on Sunday, May 4th, during the Andromeda/Elara mission times.
•	Please, it would be nice to leave the NH all in order and her story complete.  If you owe logs, please get them in.
•	Jim is on LOA for the next two missions.
•	April 26th/27th mission will be cancelled due to birthdays, work and LOA.

Last week on the Nighthawk:

The captain was suddenly taken ill and found him self in sickbay while the rest of the crew tried to figure out what he had in mind for his plans.  But as he appears to be better, he now prepares to take charge again.

The ship has entered the sol system and through some unknown help is being ignored while the ship is currently coasting its way toward the station unhindered.  But the crew is restless and uneasy about the entire situation and its success.

Of the two patrolling ships, one remains, looking otherwise while the other has unexpectedly headed for Earth.  Around the station is the normal business of a shipping yard.  There are ships in various states of build, a few being prepared and a few preparing to leave.  All around the station is activity.

Sid Monroe Stardate 10804.07:

We area about to arrive at the station, our plans is to use the access codes vent the atmosphere then we calim the station for our own.

Varesh says:
::sits at the tactical console::
Christina Tulpen says:
::at the operations station observing the sensor data, looking for signs of the ship being discovered::
Aaron Knight says:
::maintaining course and speed, he reaches down to clutch his side for a moment::
Christina Tulpen says:
::spots a blinking light where she hasn't seen one yet, the communications. Checks it::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Keeping a close eye on things, waiting to re-supply power throughout the ship... this type of flying made her nervous.::
Christina Tulpen says:
All on the bridge: We received an encrypted message. I am not sure who its meant at. I believe I can decode it but it will take a moment ....
Gary Jackson says:
::Sitting on the bridge, staring at the viewscreen::
Christina Tulpen says:
::scratches her head as she explores the computer trying to find a decoding algorithm::
 Sid Monroe says:
::Finishes wiping his face then heads out of his quarters::
Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: You feeling better? That was quite a fight.~~~
 Sid Monroe says:
::Walks to the end of the hall, then makes a right and walks onto the bridge::
Christina Tulpen says:
Self: It seems...huummmm....
Aaron Knight says:
Tulpen:  Perhaps it's from the welcoming committee.  ::grimaces and grins::
Christina Tulpen says:
Knight: I would rather not .... I analyzed the pattern, it seems to have been transmitted broadly.
Christina Tulpen says:
All: I think I got it, I'll put it on speakers
Aaron Knight says:
~~~Varesh:  Well, I wouldn't be in so much pain if this tug had an actual doctor onboard.~~~
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods, not looking away from the screen, waiting for the audio to play::
Aaron Knight says:
::waits to hear the transmission::
Communication relay says:
COMM: Nighthawk: 'All Cardassian ships are to return to Cardassian Prime immediately.  Breen warships have crossed the Cardassian boarder and are heading to Cardassia Prime.  Unconfirmed report of a Terran Rebellion heading to Cardassia Prime is also reported.'
Varesh says:
~~~Aaron: I can't help that I had to do your job because you're too banged up to do it.~~~
Christina Tulpen says:
All: So the Cardies will evacuate. Can't say I'll miss them
Gary Jackson says:
::Frowns:: Christina: That sounds pretty much like some diversion is set in motion..
Varesh says:
All: Possibly a ploy to help us get in?
Aaron Knight says:
~~~Varesh:  I wouldn't be so worried, I had my station fumigated before taking over.~~~
Varesh says:
::gives a soft chuckle at Aaron's words::
Christina Tulpen says:
Jackson/Varesh: you turned out to be quite the conspirator. It could be the rebellion with false intel but it might also be the Breen. I never trusted them. They might well have planned a strike
Aaron Knight says:
All:  It could be a ploy, but it could also be a trap.
Christina Tulpen says:
All: In any event, its not our business. Monroe gave  us the prefix code for the ship yard, that's all I care at the moment. Though they will likely change the codes as soon as we use them
Varesh says:
Tulpen: That is most probable.
 Sid Monroe says:
::Walks into the main area of the bridge, catching the last of that message:: Tulpen: Do you know where that came from?
Christina Tulpen says:
All: I also do not know how close we can come till they spot us. We may be low on emissions but we will come in visual range eventually
Gary Jackson says:
Christina: Then let's put them to the best use we can...
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: I'm checking that. But in the mean time, Harlan sent a coded message to all rebels in the system. Another rebel ship is reaching the Earth. All other rebel cells are proceeding normally
Aaron Knight says:
All:  Well, at least we have some back up!
Gary Jackson says:
::Looks around at Monroe:: Sid: So, now what? Christina is right, we will be spotted at some point...
 Sid Monroe says:
::Nods:: Tulpen: Very well it seems that her plan is going as planned.
Christina Tulpen says:
All: Interestingly, by crossing both data, the first message was sent to all Cardassian vessels and to us specifically. I was sent by a ship named Claymore
Christina Tulpen says:
All: So it is a decoy for the cardies indeed
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: we are coming on their visual range
Varesh says:
All: I like that.
 Sid Monroe says:
Jackson: Yes it will eventually happen, but we can use the diversion to get into the shipyard.
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  Shall I maintain our current heading?
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: Use the diversion of them firing at us to get inside? I don't follow your reasoning Monroe
Varesh says:
::checks the tactical scans::
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: Yes.  Tulpen: How many ships in the vicinity?
Christina Tulpen says:
::looks down at the console to check::
Aaron Knight says:
::looks down at his console to verify their current heading::
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  I'm estimating that in three minutes, we'll be lit up like a supernova on their radar.
Gary Jackson says:
::Tightens his grip on his chair without noticing::
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: there are 16 ships at various stages of repair. Two are ready to get out
 Sid Monroe says:
Knight: Take us to a full stop.
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  Answering all stop.  ::brings the NH to a stop::
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: Are any of the ships in the dock have any personnel?
 
ACTION: The Nighthawk stops just at the edge of the stations visual range.

Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen:  What I mean is that is there a full compliment of crew on board at this time?
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: I'll see if I can find out .... remember we can't use active sensors
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  We are just outside their radar range, but it looks like they picked up the energy that was needed to bring us to a  full stop.

ACTION: The station picks up a sudden surge of energy that is quickly gone.

 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: What I want to do is if the shields are down on those ships we can create a diversion from those ships if we say blow them up?
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: I am not sure about the rest, but the ships that are finished have a full compliment aboard
Varesh says:
Monroe: I get to blow things up?
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: They will know where the shot came from won't they?
 Sid Monroe says:
Jackson: Unless we beam onboard one of the less crowded ship and use their weapons to create the diversion
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe/All: The 16 ships being finished are months away from launch so we could fire on them. But I still think we will be spotted, in fact it seems we already were
 
ACTION: Not worried about an anomaly, the operations officer logs it and goes back to preparing two ships to depart.

Christina Tulpen says:
::checks to see if the unfinished ships have the weapons online::
Gary Jackson says:
::Blinks for a moment:: Sid: What are you implying?
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  If they did notice our energy, they haven't sent anyone out to investigate.
Christina Tulpen says:
All: Three of the ships under repairs have operational weapons.  Four of the new ships could also be activated but it would require us to go there and do it

ACTION: One of the smaller Klingon vessels has been given clearance to depart.

 Sid Monroe says:
Jackson: We would have you beam onto one ship… then I would beam onto another ship we would then set up so they will fire against each other.
Christina Tulpen says:
All: This both means that anyone beaming there could use them, but also that they can use these weapons against us
Varesh says:
All: Could we set the ship on a course as we beam to one of the ship in the yards? Distract them?
Aaron Knight says:
::is getting impatient with everyone just sitting around and doing nothing::
Gary Jackson says:
Varesh: At this point, in order to remain undetected, we'd take a week or more to gain any speed worthy of mentioning..
 
ACTION: The Klingon vessel powers up and begins to detach from the station and head out of the sol system at impulse.

Sid Monroe says:
All: I think that would draw the two ships that are leaving away from here.
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: If you want to go ahead with that we would have to create a diversion within a diversion. We would need to use several transport beams to hide your destination and confuse them about the origin
Christina Tulpen says:
All: But I am sure it will be a matter of time before they track us
Varesh says:
Jackson: Start the engines, light up like a Christmas tree and beam in just before they notice.
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: Evacuate the Nighthawk?
Gary Jackson says:
Varesh: You have like three seconds for that before they get weapons lock and fire.. ::Shakes head, wondering what way out remains for them::
 
ACTION: The station sends a report to the Klingon vessel on patrol, as well as asking their status and when the second patrol vessel will return to the area.

Christina Tulpen says:
::puts the routine transmission on audio, low, so everyone knows what is going on::

ACTION: The second ship slowly goes through a system check before asking for final clearance... besides, they appear to be missing a few crew.

 Sid Monroe says:
Jackson: What do you suggest?
Varesh says:
::tries to figure through the situation::
Aaron Knight says:
All:  Okay, instead of sitting around here, what if I was to take a shuttle in and create a little havoc with those ships.  While their setting their sights on me, it might create a diversion that you need.
Christina Tulpen says:
Knight: You won't survive against the station and the ships
Aaron Knight says:
Tulpen:  Couldn't you maintain a transporter lock on me and beam me out right before I go ka-plooey?
Christina Tulpen says:
Knight: I can, if the Nighthawk remains in your range. But the problem remains, our position will be given away I think
Aaron Knight says:
All:  I should at least be able to keep them occupied for several minutes with different evasive maneuvers.
Varesh says:
All: Use the explosion to mask the transporter beams out of the shuttle and onto the other ships?
Christina Tulpen says:
Varesh: It depends how much an explosion can be created. But it’s possible...in theory...if everything goes as planned
 Sid Monroe says:
Tulpen: What kind of explosion do you need?
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: One right between us and their main sensor array
Christina Tulpen says:
All: So, Knight takes out a shuttle, they start firing on them. Then what do we do?
Aaron Knight says:
All:  Okay, how about we remotely run the shuttle and activate an emergency beacon.  They would most like take the shuttle onto the station and we could detonate it.
 Sid Monroe says:
All: That sounds a little bit better.  Would that be enough of a diversion to get us close enough?
Christina Tulpen says:
Knight: But as soon as we open bay doors, won't they know we are here?
Gary Jackson says:
Christina: They'd be wondering where the shuttle came from for sure...
Christina Tulpen says:
Monroe: It depends o how much damage the shuttle makes I think
Brianna Rose says:
:: sighs as she wonders what is happening on the bridge.  No one ever seems to remember the heart of the ship.::
Aaron Knight says:
Tulpen:  I'm not seeing we have much of a choice or other options.  I say we take a chance.
Varesh says:
::glances downward for a moment and taps on the console:: Rose: Heya. How's the engines doing?
Christina Tulpen says:
Knight: Looking at the situation, it seems like a reasonable gamble
Aaron Knight says:
Tulpen:  Besides, what do we have to lose.......besides our lives.  ::grins::
Brianna Rose says:
:: Smiles as she hears a voice.  Teasingly:: Varesh:  I am starting to hear voices.  But the engines are fine.
Christina Tulpen says:
::raises an eyebrow at Knight:: Knight: Even though this is my planet, I rather keep my life than Earth
Varesh says:
::chuckles softly:: *Rose*: Great, I'll let you know when I know. ::hears Tulpen:: Knight: Don't get killed, I want that honor for myself. ::grins::
Gary Jackson says:
::Nods at Christina's remark:: All: And I... Fact is, we are sitting ducks here, any ship passing close to here will detect us.. Moving has the same result, probably...
Aaron Knight says:
Varesh:  You wouldn't know how to kill something, even if it came with instructions!
 Sid Monroe says:
::Looks on:: All: Varesh, Head down to the shuttlecraft and prepare the charges on the shuttle..  Have Brianna help you as well.
Varesh says:
::chuckles:: Aaron: I'm the doctor here, I don't even have to try. ::taps the console:: *Rose*: Meet me at the shuttle, we have some work to do.
Aaron Knight says:
Monroe:  I'm going to head down to the shuttle as well, if you don't mind.
