@*Orion*  Do it already <s>

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO: But shields are down to 40%

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
CEO Jax:  Ens. you have some bad burns but I am starting the tissue regeneration and I believe you will fully recover.  You may have some residual soreness in the burned area but you will be OK

Host Rich says:
@<Computer on Science vessel> Atmospheric entry halted

XO_Kisay says:
Thei:  Good...

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::gets even more frightened ... tries not to tremble too hard ... interferes with running diagnostics::

Cnsl_Troi says:
@Captain: No you can use your tractor beam to latch onto us!!!

SO_Ens_Thei says:
:: monitoring deflector dish output and adjusting ::

SV_Captain_McRae says:
@Freeloader:  Relax.  We'll get out of this.

CEO_Ens_Jax says:
::tries to talk:: Ryan: Burn...? wh..er.e?

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::hopes the Captain is right::

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
XO : Perhaps if all else fails we should have the trasnsporter cheif standing by

XO_Kisay says:
Sams:  Good Idea....

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::hears audio version: MacRae ... they want us to latch on with our tractor equipment ... is that possible?

Host Rich says:
THE SCIENCE VESSEL SLOWLY LIFTS AWAY FROM THE ATMOSPHERE BADLY DAMAGED BUT LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS FULLY OPERATIONAL

XO_Kisay says:
*Transporter room*  Please prepare emergency transport of the Darwin Crew just incase.

SV_Captain_McRae says:
@::drifts in space::

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO: Sir, recommend we pull directly away from the planet.....we can't keep up this energy output for too much longer.....

Ops_Neal_Blair says:
XO: With our power flucuations, I wouldn't put too much faith in the transporters.

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
::::Ens. Jax tissue regenerating quite nicely:::

SO_Ens_Thei says:
:: notices power down to 39% and falling ::

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::starts to hope:: MacRae:: decay of orbit ceased ... we are being pulled away

XO_Kisay says:
Sams:  Move us away slowly....

Cnsl_Troi says:
XO: Sir i heard their FCO state that their tractor beam is working  couldn't they latch onto us sir????

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
SO : a spiral is normaly indicated in a situation such as this as  if we loose the lock then they will at least have a stagble orbit

Host Rich says:
A BUILD UP OF NUCLEOGENIC PARTICLES FORMS ANOTHER EXPLOSION ON THE PLANETS SURFACE

SV_Captain_McRae says:
@Freeloader:   Have they established a lock on us?

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
::::Takes ship out :::

XO_Kisay says:
Troi:  Try to communicate that...

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::Macrae:: Yes, but it is not too solid Sir ...

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO: We will not be able to maintain power to the tractor beam thru the deflector long enough for them to escape at our present power drain...........

Host Rich says:
SHOCKWAVE AND DEBRIS SPEEDS AWAY FROM THE PLANET TOWARDS THE SHIPS

Cnsl_Troi says:
XO: I sir

SV_Captain_McRae says:
@::Darwin is rocked once again::

XO_Kisay says:
Sams: faster... we're gonna get a little hot here...

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO: Sir......another hit from the planet surface in 15 seconds..........

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::falls over again ... bashing shoulder on console:: Ouch!

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
XO : here comes more debris

Cnsl_Troi says:
@ FCO: Use your tractor beam to attach to us immediately, no time left

XO_Kisay says:
Tac:  Maximum shield strength..

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
:::Slows a bit :::

SV_Captain_McRae says:
@Freeloader:  You ok?

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO:  Sir, the tractor will buckle!!!

CEO_Ens_Jax says:
::lies in sickbay::

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::shakes head to clear the spots from her three eyes :: Aye Sir

XO_Kisay says:
:::grips arms of chair and hangs on::::

Host Rich says:
THE SHOCKWAVES CENTRE REACHES THE SHIPS SENDING THEM FLYING AWAY FROM THE PLANET

Cnsl_Troi says:
@Freeloader: Did you hear me freeloader?

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
Ens Jax:  You are going to be fine...no damage to the symbont

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
::::takes a firm seat :::

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO: Sir, the shockwave is knocking us away from the planet.......

XO_Kisay says:
Report! :::shaking::::

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::hears a sort of funny voice .... then it stops::

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO: But shields are down to 20%........

CEO_Ens_Jax says:
::feels the ship shaking::

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
XO It would appear that this wave did us good sending both ships outward bound

Cnsl_Troi says:
@Freeloader: Engage your tractor beam now!!!

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::climbs back yet again to console .... damage reports coming in ... fearfully bad in most places::

XO_Kisay says:
Sams:  Get us stable.

Cnsl_Troi says:
::Troi gets up from the floor::

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
XO : aye sir :::pushes buttons :::

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::wonders if she heard someone say try the tractor ... decides to try it anyway ... what is there to loses?

XO_Kisay says:
Troi: We do not need it anymore

Cnsl_Troi says:
::and returns to seat::

XO_Kisay says:
Tac:  What's our status?

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::finges stroll over console .... tractor equipment no longer working :(::

XO_Kisay says:
Ops:  How is Darwin are they still there?

Cnsl_Troi says:
XO: Aye Sir

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@COM: Darwin, Can you hear us?

Host Rich says:
BOTH SHIPS HANG SILENTLY IN SPACE THE SCIENCE VESSEL BADLY DAMAGED

Ops_Neal_Blair says:
XO:  Yes sir.  I can't get exact readings.

CEO_Ens_Jax says:
::Wonders if this ship will blow up...::

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
XO : Both ship stablized

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
XO:  Can I help with the Science Vessel in any way?

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::MacRae: Now even the tractor equipment is out ...

Host Rich says:
THE USS ORION SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE DUE TO SHIELDS HOLDING

XO_Kisay says:
Med:  Stand-by they may have wounded.  Proceed to transorter room 3

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
XO:  Aye Sir, SB ready

XO_Kisay says:
Engineering:  Status report please

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@::wants to be anywhere but on the bridge ... Captain sitting pondering and saying nothing::

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
XO : I would suggest sending them a portable comm unit their might be damaged

XO_Kisay says:
*Darwin*  This is Orion respond please.....

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
:::::Heading to TR 3:::::  entering TL

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@COM: This is Darwin ... we  keep hailing you ....

Host Rich says:
THE PLANETS SURFACE SLOWLY DISINTEGRATES FROM AN ADVERSE REACTION TO THE NUCLEOGENIC PARTICLES THE SCIENCE VESSEL WAS ATTEMPTING TO INTRODUCE

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
:::exits TL awaiting possible casualties::::

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@COm: Orion ... Can you hear us?

SV_Captain_McRae says:
@*Orion*  Yes, we're here.

Cnsl_Troi says:
::thinks she is useless since she was unable to make a clear contact with anyone aboard the other ship::

CEO_Ens_Jax says:
::tries to get up::

XO_Kisay says:
Darwin* : we read you you're breaking up... What is your status

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@MacRae:: Nothing is working except basic life support ... and that is iffy Sir

CEO_Ens_Jax says:
::Got up and make his way to the door::

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
::::*Nurse in SB* keeping Jax in bed::::

SO_Ens_Thei says:
XO:  Planet surface disintegrating, sir.......due to the Darwin's attempts at nucleogenic particle insertion....

TAC_Fuller says:
::see's power to shield and tractor beam have stabalised..::

CEO_Ens_Jax says:
Nurse: I'm fine

ASO_Ens_Freeloader says:
@MacRae:: And the hull has been weakened ... forcefield generators will not hold up

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
*Nurse in SB*  ::::unable to stop Ens. Jax::::

XO_Kisay says:
*Darwin*  Do you require medical assitance?

FCO_Ens_Sams says:
SO : It would seem they were successful at it

Med_Lt_Darrel_Ryan says:
Ens. Jax:  you are not fine yet...please stay in SB
