MO_Daetalus says:
:: is examining the scans for anything important::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS:  Your opinion on how the Korvith will react when they see one of our shuttles?

CMO_Varr says:
::stepping inside Sickbay, he nods in the directions of those on his staff who smile toward him, walking over to where his child lay in it resting place::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I suspect they will try and shoot it down, Sir.

Brendae says:
::Enters Sickbay quietly and heads toward the child seeing Varr there.  Pauses then goes the rest 
of the way::'

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Unknown. Past sensor range at the moment. I'll patch the information to the helm. ::does so::

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir, I was just looking over the results of these scans and am curious as to the nature of them.

FCO_Tim says:
::Sits patiently at the Conn.::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: They won't capture or attempt communication hmm?  ::sighs::

Brendae says:
::Resting her hands behind her, looks up:: CMO: Good morning, Varr.

CMO_Varr says:
::picking up a tricorder, he switches it from medical to standard and makes a couple passes gathering Intel::  MO: What scans are those Doctor?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I suppose they may try to take hostages, especially if they suspect we are coming after the shuttle, Sir.

CMO_Varr says:
::looks at Brendae for a moment::  Brendae: Doctor.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::moves beside the TO and whispers::  TO: Chances of us surviving any attempts?

OPS_Odeon says:
::looking over power systems::

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: They are the scans you performed several hours ago, I am curious as to what they refer too.

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Reasonably good, I'd expect. We've had time to prepare for this.

XO_Zax says:
@::running long range scans::

Brendae says:
::Shakes her head for a moment and then turns her attention back to the child::

FCO_Tim says:
::Sits at the Conn. waiting for orders::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Mr. Stricker... any word from Engineering on the state of the multi-phasic shield?

OPS_Odeon says:
::notices the Fusion Reactors a bit slow today... power is at 92% efficiency::

CMO_Varr says:
::closes the tricorder discreetly, slipping it inside his pocket::  MO: A personal project.  Nothing you need to worry about.  How does the readiness of the staff stand right now?

XO_Zax says:
@::Glances back at Zelda::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: No sir. The engineering department has not reported in anything to me sir!

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Zelda sleeps near by the XO while B'Lynn looks on with sad eyes.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods at the TO::  TO: Are your systems free from Korvith tampering as far as you can tell?

CNS_Luchena says:
::worries for her friend, Zax::

XO_Zax says:
@::wonders if she should risk trying to contact the ship::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: is curious about the CMO's defensive posture:: CMO: The medical staff is ready for what ever fate decides to throw at us.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Then get down there Mr. Stricker and see what you can do.

TO_Jamin says:
CO: As far as I can tell. But I doubt they would have tampered with the weapons systems.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Tim expectantly::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Yes sir. Shall I report to the CEO or EO?

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: should anything happen that is.

Brendae says:
::Turns her attention from the child to the CMO trying to wait until he is finished talking to the MO:: .

XO_Zax says:
@::decides not to as she is hoping against hope that the Pendragon wasn't following her::

TO_Jamin says:
::still trying to ignore Luna...but starting to wonder why he should even try::

OPS_Odeon says:
::trying to get power systems up to speed::

CMO_Varr says:
::smiles slightly::  MO:  That’s good.  I need to care for some matters, but it seems we will be heading into an alert situation.  I need you to oversee the Sickbay for now.  Understood?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: The CEO is off duty.  You may take charge for the time being.

OPS_Odeon says:
XO: Power and systems alike are working at 93%.

Brendae says:
CMO: Varr, we need to talk.

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Yes sir! ::Stands up and head for the TL::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: is glad that the CMO thinks him ready:: CMO: Yes sir, I am ready to face the trials.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the Counselor::  CNS: Take the Conn. Lieutenant and prepare to break orbit.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Would you like me to take the helm in the CFO’s absence, Sir?

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Of running sickbay.

CNS_Luchena says:
::takes the helm::

FCO_Tim says:
TL: Main engineering!

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Sir, looking at the warp trail, it seems they've been traveling at maximum warp.

CMO_Varr says:
MO: Very good Doctor.  I am sure you will do a fine job.  ::takes a breath and turns to Brendae::  Brendae:  Then walk with me.  ::begins to leave sickbay, not waiting to see if she follows::

CNS_Luchena says:
::prepares to break orbit::

OPS_Odeon says:
CO: Power systems and other related systems are at 93% efficiency.

TO_Jamin says:
::pokes the panels:: CO: I think I can determine when they left....

Brendae says:
::Follows after this time:: CMO: The time is coming for the child to be "born." There is much that needs discussing before then.

XO_Zax says:
@::runs a diagnostic on all of the weapon systems::

FCO_Tim says:
::Steps on the TL and into ME. Walks to a console to install the shielding::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::returns to his chair and nods at the TO:: TO: Red Alert.  CNS: Initiate at maximum warp to intercept shuttle Draco

MO_Daetalus says:
:: runs over protocol of actions to be taken in an alert state::

CNS_Luchena says:
::breaks orbit::

XO_Zax says:
::increases speed to maximum warp::

CMO_Varr says:
::nods to himself, adding a few more things to his mental check list while continuing to walk down the corridor::  Brendae:  Such as?

CNS_Luchena says:
::engages warp engines::

TO_Jamin says:
::initiates red alert and watches the red lights come on, immediately feels his blood beginning to bubble with the thought of potential battle::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: notices the red alert:: All Med Staff: Lets get ready for anything that can go wrong.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: I want 100%... yesterday.

Brendae says:
CMO: For one, a name.

OPS_Odeon says:
::giggles at the yesterday term:: CO: I'll try.

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* It will take about ten minutes tops to install the shielding and another five to get them up.

CMO_Varr says:
<Med Staff>  ::nods in turn to the MO and begins preparing for an alert situation::

CNS_Luchena says:
::watches warp speed increase::

OPS_Odeon says:
::tries to get power systems at 94%::

Host Karriaunna  (RedAlert.wav)

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*FCO*: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  Proceed.

CMO_Varr says:
::sees the light scheme change as red alert is initiated - This could make things more difficult::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: pulls stations and assigns other doctors and nurses to different med. groups::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  We are at warp 9.975, maximum speed, Sir.

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* Aye sir.

OPS_Odeon says:
::smiles as systems go to 94%... tries to raise to 95%... one step at a time::

XO_Zax says:
@<B'Lyn> ::walks over and sits down in the co-pilot's seat::

CMO_Varr says:
::stops in his tracks, chain of thought broken, and looks at the woman with a raised eyebrow::  Brandae:  A name?

Brendae says:
::Feeling ignored, and tired of being ignored:: CMO: Varr, are you listening to me?

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Sir, it looks like the Draco launched at 0200 hours.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Good.  Are you reading any variations in the warp systems?

Brendae says:
CMO: Yes.  The child needs a name.

FCO_Tim says:
Computer: Set up the meta-phasic shielding program, USS Pendragon and install it into the shields.

XO_Zax says:
@::looks at B'Lyn considering:: B'Lyn: Yes?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TO: How far would that put them traveling at their maximum warp?

CNS_Luchena says:
::checks for variations in the warp systems::

XO_Zax says:
@<B'Lyn>::looks sad::

CMO_Varr says:
::shakes his head, to hurried to be more than a little bemused, and starts walking again, Brendae in tow::  Brendae: And what would you like the name to be?

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Minor variations, Sir.  No big problems yet.

OPS_Odeon says:
::succeeds as the power systems get to 98%... but stops there:: CO: I have power systems at 98%. But they seem hesitant to go any higher. Something wrong with the power grid on deck 10.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: breaks out med kits and other tools of the trade::

TO_Jamin says:
CO: We can catch them in approximately three hours.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Then get your people on it.

XO_Zax says:
@<B'Lyn> Zax: I'm sorry, Miss Zax.

FCO_Tim says:
::Looks at the console, the program is running:: Engineer_Wellington: Ensign, help me with this program please. <FCO_Tim>: Aye sir.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TO: Three hours?  How long do you think it will take before the Korvith can intercept?

CNS_Luchena says:
::hopes they can get to Katia in time::

Brendae says:
CMO: Amapel

TO_Jamin says:
::frowns and checks a couple of scans::

MO_Daetalus says:
*CMO*: Sir, per orders have you scanned the ship for any organic matter that should not be there?

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Approximately three hours.

Brendae says:
::Keeping pace easily with the CMO::

CNS_Luchena says:
Thinks to self:  Oh no.

XO_Zax says:
@B'Lyn: I understand, honey. Don't worry about it. You did what you had to do. ::sighs::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: sets up his end of the internal sensors in case the CMO didn’t::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs to himself:: A race then it is.

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders if there is anyway to go faster::

CMO_Varr says:
::stops at a station, logging into the terminal:: *MO* No.  Are you able to care for that now?  Brendae: And of what significance is that name?

FCO_Tim says:
Engineer_Wellington: OK, could you please install the program into the shield module and add the meta-phasic program as well. <FCO_Tim:> Yes sir!

Brendae says:
CMO: Someone very dear to me was named that.

B`Lyn says:
@::Looks down at her feet::

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* Sir, we've installed the program successfully. 5 minutes till the shields are up and fully ready, sir.

OPS_Odeon says:
<ENG_Team> *OPS*: We are trying to get he power grid back online. It may take at least ten minutes from how it looks. It must have over loaded or something.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::taps his badge::  *FCO*: Mr. Stricker, is there any way to increase warp propulsion?

MO_Daetalus says:
:: proceeds with the scan for any anomalous organic material not identified by the computer::

CNS_Luchena says:
::hopes so::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*FCO* Excellent job.

B`Lyn says:
@::whispers::  XO:  What do you think will happen when they catch up to us?

XO_Zax says:
@::reaches out and gently strokes the child's head:: B'Lyn: The Pendragon, you mean?

OPS_Odeon says:
::yells at the communicator:: ENG_Team: I want the power grid online yesterday. ::smirks at the Captain::

B`Lyn says:
@::Nods and in an even quieter voice::  Them or the Korvith.

CMO_Varr says:
::pages through the menus, a Type 16 should do best::  Brendae:  Fair enough.  Who was it?

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* Yes sir! ::Looks at Engineer_Wellington: Increase warp propulsion. <FCO_Tim:> Yes sir. ::Increases warp:: *CO* Warp prop increased sir.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TO: Can you disable the shuttle if the command codes fail?  With out destroying it or hurting those on board I mean?

CMO_Varr says:
::tries to remember what little he paid attention to in class that might help him as he works small bypasses along the way::

Brendae says:
::Getting irritated at his lack of attention:: CMO: It was my late husband's name.

TO_Jamin says:
::looks insulted that Phail would even THINK he couldn't:: CO: Of course.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: scans reveal nothing as of yet::

XO_Zax says:
@B'Lyn: the Captain will get here first, B'Lyn. Don't worry.......and if the Korvith get here.......well, they'll be so busy laughing about my bare feet and pajamas that we'll be able to get away! ::grins::

CNS_Luchena says:
::checks status of propulsion systems::

FCO_Tim says:
::Installs the program into the shield:: Computer, please start installing the meta-phasic shields into the Pendragon shield modulation

OPS_Odeon says:
::looks in relief as the power increases to 99%:: CO: We have progress.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  A shaking, deep in the ship is felt.

CMO_Varr says:
::pauses, and looks at Brendae, full in the face, thinking of all that is to come, then nods slowly::  Brendae:  We can do that.  His name will be Amapel.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: Good.  Current status of the power grid?

TO_Jamin says:
::frowns, knowing what that vibration means:: CO: Captain....

MO_Daetalus says:
Self: Oh oh

CNS_Luchena says:
::wonders what that shaking was all about::

Brendae says:
::Reaches out to the console to steady herself::

FCO_Tim says:
<Computer> Meta-phasic shields are now fully installed and ready work.

B`Lyn says:
@::Giggles at the XO's wiggling feet, then becomes serious again::  You don't know the Korvith.  They won't kill us.  We are useless dead.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::feeling the vibration:: CNS: Reduce speed to warp 7  ::looks at the TO knowingly::

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* Sir, the meta-phasic shield are ready, warp propulsion has increased. Stand-by for orders::

CNS_Luchena says:
::reduces speed to warp 7::  CO:  Done Sir.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The shield modification goes into effect, but the shields power goes down to %75

Brendae says:
::Unsure how to take his reaction.  The man both frustrates her to no end and amazes her at the same time:: CMO: There is another matter, and for this I would appreciate your full attention.

TO_Jamin says:
::finds himself aching to get down to engineering and fix this...then realizes that he doesn't have a clue how::

CMO_Varr says:
::feels the shaking, and remembers where he is and what he is doing, then turns back to the terminal, again working through the menus, not with practiced ease, but finding what he thinks he 
needs::

XO_Zax says:
@B'Lyn: Well, we can always talk our way out of it, until the Pendragon gets here.

OPS_Odeon says:
CO: Shields at 75%.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TO: Estimated time now?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
OPS: What happened?  Scratch that.  *FCO* What happened to the shields?

TO_Jamin says:
CO: After the Korvith.

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* Standing-by in Engineering sir. Waiting for orders!

XO_Zax says:
::looking down, begins checking the long range scanners again::

CNS_Luchena says:
::sighs::

B`Lyn says:
@XO:  You can talk all you want... until they make you an official slave, or grow tire of your tongue and remove it.

CMO_Varr says:
::sighs, looking over at the woman speaking to him::  Brendae:  I am giving you as much attention as I have right now, but you can be sure I am listening to you.  Please tell me what else there is on your mind.

OPS_Odeon says:
CO: Power grid systems are at 99%... wait... 99.3%.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: notices a small blip that seems to be occupying a point behind a panel in sickbay::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  A blinking light occurs on the shuttles console.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::sighs trying to decide whether to continue and risk all or let the shuttle leave to it's doom::

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* I got them up. But they're now at only 75%. I'm sending more power to compensate.

XO_Zax says:
@::sighs again and looks sad:: B'Lyn: I promise you, I will NOT allow them to take you as a slave.

Brendae says:
CMO: We need to speak of what will happen when I return to my planet.  The time may not be far off.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks worried::

XO_Zax says:
@::the blinking light catches her eye::

B`Lyn says:
@::Shakes head, then looks over at her mother::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: walks over to a panel and scans for lifesigns::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The light on the artificial womb begins to blink.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::wishes Zax were here to confer::  CNS: ::whispers::  Your professional opinion on whether or not to continue after the Draco.

XO_Zax says:
@:: sees two ships just within sensor range and begins to try to identify them::

CMO_Varr says:
::stops again, and looks at her, deciding what to say::  Brendae:  I think we have time to discuss that later.  You can be sure that I will do my very best to ensure the well-being of our child.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Katia is my friend, Sir.  I'm afraid I cannot be objective.  I am willing to die to try and rescue her.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: Opens the panel and is almost attacked by a half-starved Curly::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: But would you kill 750 others in the process?

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* I've giving the shields 5% more power. That's all she can handle right. There is not too much else I can do.

MO_Daetalus says:
Curly: whoa, whoa.

Brendae says:
CMO: I am willing to discuss the matter later, however, You realize I will not leave the child behind.

OPS_Odeon says:
::cheers and dances... then calms down when people look at him:: CO: The power grid is fully functional. Power is distributing at 100%.

TO_Jamin says:
::listens to the exchange...thinking of the oath he swore upon being knighted::

XO_Zax says:
::puts the shuttle on red alert::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*FCO*: You've done a marvelous job Mr. Stricker.  I need you to stay down there and keep things running.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  No, Sir.  I would not.  But there must be another way.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::begins to think the pressure is getting to the OPS Officer::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: I am happy to entertain any ideas.

CMO_Varr says:
::nodding slowly::  Brendae:  I understand your concern.

XO_Zax says:
@::looks back at Zelda:: Zelda: Two ships just entering sensor range.

MO_Daetalus says:
*FCO*: If your not busy, I think you should come get your animal from sickbay:: walks around with it and notices the blinking light on the incubator::

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Captain...

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::turns to the TO::  TO: Mr. Jamin?

TO_Jamin says:
CO: ...I may have a suggestion.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TO: Continue.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Is there someway to conceal ourselves from the Korvith, or some way to deceive them?

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Perhaps we should send another shuttle after it.

FCO_Tim says:
*CO*  Sir, the MO has just talked to me. He needs me in sickbay. Curly might be hurt.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: does a double take on the light and hands the dog to another nurse:: Nurse: Please bring this animal to the FCO's quarters and feed it.

XO_Zax says:
@<Zelda>: Sits up immediately. Zax: Korvith?

Brendae says:
Varr: What is troubling you.  There is something.

FCO_Tim says:
*MO* I'll try. I'll ask the CO first.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Jamin in horror, suspecting what he is planning to do::

TO_Jamin says:
CO: A decent engineer can easily make quick field corrections on something that small, and maintain warp stability.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods::  TO: Excellent idea.  Suggestions on the occupants?

B`Lyn says:
@::Looks at her mom::

MO_Daetalus says:
*FCO*: I am having a nurse bring Curly back and feed him, no worries.

OPS_Odeon says:
::watches the crew::

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Myself.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TO: Like a former CEO?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::nods and turns to the Counselor::  CNS: How about you Lieutenant?

TO_Jamin says:
::nods::

XO_Zax says:
@::shakes her head, muttering as the hair once again gets in her eyes:: Zelda: To far to ID as of yet.

MO_Daetalus says:
*CMO*: Sir, I think you should come back to sickbay, there is something wrong with the artificial womb.

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* Ignore that. *MO* Thank you. Feed him Canine supplement number 5 from the replicator in my quarters.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: checks for vitalsigns and cant find what is wrong::

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  I am willing to go too, Sir!

CMO_Varr says:
::clears the screen, convinced that he has done his best, hoping it will be enough::  Brendae:  I am merely intent upon my current project.  It will... *MO*  I am on my way.  ::begins heading back 
toward Sickbay at high speed, not doubting that Brendae is close behind::

TO_Jamin says:
::nods sharply to Luna::

Brendae says:
::Hears the Com and gets concerned::

XO_Zax says:
@::checks the instruments again::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::taps badge::  *CMO*: Doctor Varr, we need a volunteer from your department for a dangerous Away Mission.

FCO_Tim says:
Wellington: Stay here with me Ensign and thanks for you help. <FCO_Tim:> Not a problem sir. My pleasure.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: continues checking for any indications as to what is wrong::

Brendae says:
::Follows him back:: CMO: I understand you are intent, but there is something else about you, that is different.  ::Hand on his arm as she continues to follow:: Please, you can trust me.

XO_Zax says:
@Zelda: One hour to intercept.

OPS_Odeon says:
CO: I'll go on a dangerous away mission. ::jumps hoping to be picked:: Me me.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
CNS: Drop us from warp.  OPS: Prepare a shuttle for immediate departure.

CMO_Varr says:
::steps into Sickbay nearly running over a nurse not quick enough about getting out of the way, heading toward the AW::

FCO_Tim says:
::Smiles at Wellington. Sits at the main console, patiently::

CMO_Varr says:
MO: What is it?  ::looking at the panel himself::

Brendae says:
::Close behind Varr......trying not to get in the way, but help::

OPS_Odeon says:
CO: Aye sir.

MO_Daetalus says:
:: sees the CMO:: CMO: I Think that the child is about to be born.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
TO/CNS: Get down to the shuttlebay.

FCO_Tim says:
::Sits on the chair on the main engineering console waiting for orders from the CO::

CNS_Luchena says:
::drops to impulse::

XO_Zax says:
@<Zelda>:: nods and begins to check the weapons on board::

Brendae says:
::Eyes glisten expectantly::

CMO_Varr says:
::nods::  MO:  I think you are right... ::pondering::  Clear the room please of all personnel.

OPS_Odeon says:
::types quickly on console then rushes to turbolift:: Computer: Shuttlebay 1.

CNS_Luchena says:
CO:  Yes, Sir!

TO_Jamin says:
CO: Aye sir. ::heads for the TL::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*FCO*: You may return to the helm Mr. Stricker.

CMO_Varr says:
*CO* Where should I send them Sir?

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters TL::

MO_Daetalus says:
CMO: Sir :: clears the area:: CMO: Do you want me to leave as well??

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*CMO*: The main shuttlebay Lieutenant.  On the double.

XO_Zax says:
@::strokes the child's glossy head once more and tries to smile reassuringly, but fails miserably::

CMO_Varr says:
::turning to Brendae::  Brendae:  You need to go now.  I will make sure Amapel is safe.  MO: Yes please.  Set up in the Secondary Care Unit till I give the All Clear.

FCO_Tim says:
*CO* Yes sir. Thank you sir. ::Nods at Wellington and heads out of ME and into a TL:: TL: Bridge

Brendae says:
CMO: I want to be here for his birth.  I will not leave.  I am a doctor.

TO_Jamin says:
::looks sideways at Luna:: TL: Deck 11.

OPS_Odeon says:
::shuttle is ready::

CNS_Luchena says:
TL:  Deck 3

TO_Jamin says:
::turns sharply:: CNS: Three?

CNS_Luchena says:
TO:  I have to make a quick stop.  I'll be right there.

FCO_Tim says:
::Steps of the TL and onto the bridge, heads towards the Conn.::

TO_Jamin says:

B`Lyn says:
@::Looks up at the XO, knowing she is trying::

TO_Jamin says:
::exits on deck 11, and enters the shuttlebay, yelling at a couple of crew to prepare for a launch::

MO_Daetalus says:

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*OPS*:  We need the personnel on board before we can do that Ensign.  ::schedules Odeon for a Psyche eval::

Brendae says:
::Stands beside the CMO unflinchingly::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Lt. Stricker reporting for duty sir!

XO_Zax says:
@Zelda: Two Korvith ships, one large, one mid sized on a direct intercept course.

OPS_Odeon says:
::waits for the crew inside the shuttle::

CMO_Varr says:
::sighs turning back to Brendae::  Brendae:  I am sorry then.  ::quickly reaches up catching the nerve cluster on her neck, successfully administering a nerve pinch, rendering her unconscious, 
carrying her softly to the floor::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*TO/CNS*: A doctor will be joining you in the shuttlebay.  You are cleared for liftoff as soon as he arrives

CNS_Luchena says:
::enters quarters and grabs Pookie’s leash thinking she'd rather have him protecting her than Jamin::

TO_Jamin says:
*CO*: Understood.

Brendae says:
::Falls to the floor unconscious::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  Brendae becomes unconscious

TO_Jamin says:
::enters the shuttle and forces himself to focus on the impending warp field chicanery::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Acknowledged Lieutenant.  Keep in close contact with Main Engineering.  You still have command over the department until further notice.

CMO_Varr says:
::begins working quickly, but carefully on the birthing process, possibly setting a record in this, though not caring::

CNS_Luchena says:
Pookie::  here kitty, kitty, kitty.

B`Lyn says:
@::Tries to take courage from the two women as she looks into the determined eyes of her mother::

OPS_Odeon says:
::waits at small OPS station on shuttle::

CNS_Luchena says:
<Pookie>::comes bounding out hoping to play::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Yes sir. A one Ensign Wellington is currently going to keep contact with me. He's the highest ranked officer in ME.

XO_Zax says:
@::looks at Zelda:: I'm not sure if they've spotted us yet. I'm going to attempt to stay out of their view. Would it be acceptable to turn around and attempt to rendezvous with the Pendragon now?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*OPS*: I want you to stay in constant contact with the Pendragon at all times.  Do you understand?

CNS_Luchena says:
*CMO*:  I think so.  I'm getting Pookie.

CNS_Luchena says:
::snaps leash onto ocelot and leaves quarters, sprinting back down the corridor::

B`Lyn says:
<Zelda>:XO:  No, it is not, continue.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:

@::sighs and nods::

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The Pendragon sensors, if anyone is watching, is picking up a large ship on sensors.

CMO_Varr says:

FCO_Tim says:
CO: We're picking up a large ship on sensor sir

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:

XO_Zax says:
@::begins to look for a planet or satellite to hide behind until the ships pass, knowing full well it 
was a waste of time, but determined to try anyway.::

TO_Jamin says:
::starts to say something to Luna as she boards with her cargo...but instantly hears her thoughts and understands::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
Damn...  FCO: Korvith vessels... extremely large are approaching.  Brush up on your evasive maneuvers.

CNS_Luchena says:
::looks at Andris gratefully::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Shall I hail the enclosing ship?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*TO*: An extremely large Korvith vessel is approaching Lieutenant, be on guard.

TO_Jamin says:
SELF: Now if only a doctor will... ::hears her thoughts again::

XO_Zax says:
@::sighs as she realizes there is nothing in the vicinity::

CMO_Varr says:
::walks through the doors of the shuttlebay and freezes, seeing Andris in the shuttle with Luna::  TO: What are you doing here?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::thinks for a moment on the FCO's request and smiles::  FCO: Yes.

TO_Jamin says:
::nods at Varr and starts to close the shuttle, giving him just enough time to get in::

B`Lyn says:
@<Zelda>::Goes to the back of the ship and tries to reroute power, shutting down all nonessential systems.  They would not be needing them::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Open the shuttlebay doors.  *TO* You are cleared for immediate departure.  Good luck.

TO_Jamin says:
OPS: Yes. Get clearance now.

Host Karriaunna says:
Action:  A smaller Korvith vessel, is seen on sensors.

OPS_Odeon says:
*CO*: Do you like pie?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Korvith: This is Captain Vn'dor of the U.S.S. Pendragon.  Do you read?

TO_Jamin says:
*CO*: Thank you. ::starts the launch sequence::

MO_Daetalus says:
Brendae: What happened?

CMO_Varr says:
::unsure how this will fix things, but trusting Luna implicitly, he steps aboard, setting the baby down, tapping the execute button on his tricorder causing some unused supplies in one of the cargo bays 
to beam directly to the shuttle's transporter buffer::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Yes sir. ::opens the shuttle bay doors:: CO: Doors opened sir.

OPS_Odeon says:
*CO*: It doesn't matter if you like pie.

XO_Zax says:
@::grins as she suddenly realizes the absurdity of her dying in her P.J.s and bare feet::

Brendae says:
::Looks around for Varr:: MO: Where is he?  ::Looks at the AW:: Where is the child!!

CMO_Varr says:
CNS:  ::softly::  What are they doing here?

Brendae says:
::Totally panic stricken::

TO_Jamin says:
::looks at OPS as the shuttle darts out of the ship::

MO_Daetalus says:
Computer: Locate Lt. Varr.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::notices a smaller ship with Korvith signatures.  COMM: Shuttle: Be on the look-out, 
there seems to be Korvith shuttlecraft launching.

CNS_Luchena says:
::whispers::  CMO:  We need Jamin's help.  I don't suppose we could beam that OPS officer off?

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The shuttle leaves with the CMO, CNS, TO, OPS and one small bundle.. oh and one wiggle one.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Plot an intercept course with the Korvith vessel.

Brendae says:
MO: He's gone.....::Realizes what's happened.:: He's leaving......I know it......

CO: No response to our hails. Yes sir, plotting an intercept course. ::Set and plots an intercept course::

Brendae says:
::Screams:: NOooooo........

CMO_Varr says:
#::moves up to the pilot area, placing his mouth near Jamin's ear::  TO: ::softly:: Do you know what is going on?

Brendae says:
::Grabbing the MO by the uniform:: MO: He has my child!  He's taken my child.

TO_Jamin says:
#::lets his fingers dance across the controls, making minute adjustments, then turns slowly to Varr and simply nods::

XO_Zax says:
@::notices a small vessel approaching from behind on sensors::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: looks at the scans he made of Brendae's damaged tripesios::  Brendae: Hold on *CO*: Captain, Dr. Varr has left the ship with Brendae's child after rendering her unconscious by a Vulcan neck 
pinch.

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::scanning deeper he notes the smaller ship seems to have a higher energy output like a fighter and the larger ship is too bulky... more like a heavily defended transport::

OPS_Odeon says:
#::looks at the power readings of the shuttle:: TO, CNS, CMO: Power is at 99.9% efficiency.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::looks at Varr::

CMO_Varr says:
#TO: ::still softly:: Then you know what, and who, we are leaving behind.

Brendae says:
::In uncontrollable tears::

XO_Zax says:
@Zelda: Small ship approaching at maximum warp from behind us.

B`Lyn says:
@<Zelda> XO:  I have given us every scrap of power except life support, warp and shields.

FCO_Tim says:
::clears his throat:: CO: Course plotted, shall I engage?

TO_Jamin says:
#::makes another adjustment:: CMO: Yes.

XO_Zax says:
@::nods grimly:: Zelda: Thank you. ::reduces speed to ease engine strain::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* What??  ::to self::  Damn that man.  What does he think he's doing?  FCO: Initiate now Stricker!

CMO_Varr says:
#::ponders that for a moment:: TO: Can I trust you to care for it then?

B`Lyn says:
@<Zelda> ::Sits down next to the XO::

MO_Daetalus says:
*CO*: Sir, did you hear me?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::begins targeting the small fighter::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Yes sir. Initiating! ::initiates the intercept::

CNS_Luchena says:
#::feeling some affection for Andris, for a change...::

Brendae says:
::Stuttering......gasping for air.....unable to speak::

MO_Daetalus says:
Brendae: It will be OK, just hold on

XO_Zax says:
@::is attempting to ID the smaller ship::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::arms several photons on a wide spread setting... ideal for small evasive craft like a fighter::  COMM: Korvith: I repeat this is Captain Vn'dor of the Pendragon, do you 
read?

TO_Jamin says:
#CMO: Yes

OPS_Odeon says:
# ::walks to the rest of the crew:: CNS, CMO, TO: Power is back to 100%. Going up and down like a ship on the waves of an ocean. ::smiles and hugs them::

MO_Daetalus says:
:: picks up a hypo labeled sedative::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: The frequency is open but they are not responding on the other end sir!

CNS_Luchena says:
#::returns the hug glad the OPS officer doesn't know the whole story::

TO_Jamin says:
#::tries to ignore OPS::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Prepare Attack pattern Delta.

#CMO:  How is the baby doing?

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
COMM: Shuttle: We're going to try and buy you time.  May the Prophets guide you.  
Vn'dor out.

MO_Daetalus says:
*CO*: Sir, what are you going to do about this, I have Brendae here and she is extremely stressed out.

XO_Zax says:
@::realizes the small ship is from the Pendragon::

CMO_Varr says:

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
*MO* Doctor I have more things on my hands right now than you could ever realize.  She is your problem to deal with at the moment.

XO_Zax says:
@Zelda: It's one of ours!

Brendae says:
::Begins hyperventilating....once was enough to lose a child.......twice is too much::

MO_Daetalus says:

XO_Zax says:
@::attempts to hail the approaching shuttle::

CMO_Varr says:
#::still a bit unsure things are set, he manages a shaky smile, but sits next to Luna and the baby::

TO_Jamin says:
#::pushes the shuttle a little harder::

Brendae says:
::Passes out completely::

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
::targets the photons on the fighter and hovers his finger over the fire button::  COMM: Korvith: This is your last chance to respond... what are your intentions?

OPS_Odeon says:
# CNS: You know. I was a psychologist student until I had a nervous breakdown. ::smiles:: They told me that I only have nervous breakdowns during life threatening situations. Then I act happy and jolly. Denial.

Host Karriaunna says:
ACTION:  The Korvith comes closer to the Draco.

CNS_Luchena says:
#::peeks over at the baby sleeping peacefully::

@::prepares evasive maneuvers::

FCO_Tim says:
CO: Sir, they are not responding again and they are closing fast on the Draco!

Host CO_Vn`dor_Phail says:
FCO: Initiate Attack Pattern Delta.

CNS_Luchena says:
#OPS:  Good thing this is not a life-threatening situation then, isn't it.  ::looks at him levelly::
