Host Coot says:
Last time on the USS Pendragon...

Host Coot says:
The Captain was forced to play a hand that he may not have been ready to.  The mysterious transports of cargo continue from the station. And Cmdr. Luchena has been granted permission to act on faith.

Host Coot says:
Thisah is heading home to Ravenscar and the fate of the sector may very well be riding along with them. What role the Gecko has to play out with the Gothric remains unclear, but faith appears to outweigh science at the moment.

Host Coot says:
<<<< Resume Mission >>>>

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon has been given clearance to depart from SB14.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::is checking the flight plan::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::sitting at her station ... notes they have received permission to depart::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::standing a SCI1 checking the science department’s readiness::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::walking around Sickbay doing a third check, even though she knows everything is ready::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, we have received clearance to depart.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Lt. Morgan... cast off mooring beams and lay in our patrol route.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::sitting quietly in the Gecko savouring the Master's presence::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::taps a few buttons::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Combs: Well Lieutenant everything seems fine here. ::smiles:: Combs: I'm going to visit the Bridge as we depart, if you need me, give me a call.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
<Lt. Combs> CMO: Of course, Doctor. ::smiles:: CMO: Enjoy it up there.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::gives the Captain her "here we go again" look::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::Look at the ebb and flow of energy through the ships systems:: CO: All systems green. ::standing at his station on the bridge::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::pulls the ship out as ordered::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::chuckles a bit as she walks toward the exit:: Combs: I will, I always do. ::winks and then heads out for the Turbo Lift::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
CO: We are clearing the station as ordered.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::enters the Turbo Lift:: Computer: Deck 1 please. ::waits in it as it moves::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: steps down off the command dais, stands next to helm ::  FCO: Very good.  :: pause ::  We didn't have a chance to speak when you came aboard. I understand you served for a time under Captain Sulek.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::nods solemnly:: CO: Yes, Sir, I did.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::concentrates on her console::

Host Coot says:
@ <Thisah> CNS: Mikal, I sense something in you that seems foreign.  What is it?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Sulek attached a note to your transfer orders. He told me you were one of the finest officers in the Fleet. Coming from him, I take that as high praise indeed. I consider myself fortunate to have you aboard the Pendragon.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::the Turbo Lift stops and she steps onto the Bridge. She looks around for a moment and makes her way to the vacant Counselor's chair, she knew Mikal would not mind::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Thisah:  I am taking my leave of many things, Master.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::tears well up slightly, but quickly takes a deep, soothing breath::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::replies in a steady voice:: CO: Captain Sulek is a great captain and a good man, Sir. I value his opinion of me.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::takes a seat and crosses her legs, watching the happenings::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: As do I. Welcome aboard, Lieutenant.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
FCO: Thank you, again, Sir. ::smiles slightly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: turns to Yates, smiling :: CMO: All shipshape and Bristol fashion in Sickbay, Doctor?

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon engines shutter a bit, almost like a hiccup.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::riding the TL to the bridge::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::taps a few buttons and the ship hums in anticipation.::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::returns the smile:: CO: As always, Captain.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
Self:: No...

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Self:  What was that?

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::frowns slightly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: grabs a railing for balance :: FCO: Lt. Morgan... what was that?

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::runs a quick diagnostic::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::checks power allocations:: FCO:  Did you just feel something?

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::looks at his display::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::feels the ship rock slightly::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
CO: Unsure, Sir. Checking now.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: That can't be good.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::wonders at the sudden motion::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::grips the armrests of the chair and joins with the ship's consciousness::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::watches the FCO as she works, a slight smile on her face recalling their meeting earlier::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: glances at Damien :: CEO: Jose?

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::shakes her head:: CO: Everything comes up in the green, Sir.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::looks at the CEO: CEO: Sending my results to your panel, Sir.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge::

Host Coot says:
@ <Gecko>  ~~~ ::opens itself to Mikal and the engines hum in sync with his breathing:: ~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::her gaze shifts to the officers working on the Bridge, there wasn't anything she could really do at the moment::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::walks to the CO:: CO: Lt. Mark Rochelle reporting for duty sir where do you want me?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::laughs delightedly::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: I’d like to run some more intensive scans Sir. It looks like it was a hiccough in the power grid. I can't tell what’s responsible so far. It may or may not recur

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: I leave it in your capable hands, Jose.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::is glad that the CEO is taking care of the problem::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::still checking on power allocations and can see nothing wrong to date::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
CO: I'll be in engineering.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
:;exits the bridge::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CIV: Welcome aboard, Lieutenant. Have you had time to stow your gear in your quarters?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::she closes her eyes as she listens to the hum of the ship::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Yes sir I have.  Sir I am a Betazoid and am bound by the same laws that govern the use of telepathy and empathy.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::hands the CO his dossier::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon engines pick up a bit and efficiency has increased by 0.5%.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::looks over scans of local space::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::enters main engineering and begins intensive diagnostics, starting with the computer logs of the incident::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::listens::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::her eyes open as she takes in a deep breath:: CO: So we now just wait, sir?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: glances over the PADD handed to him :: CIV: We have a plethora of telepaths and empaths aboard, Lieutenant. The more, the merrier... See our operations officer, Commander Thraxis, for your assignment.  :: gestures towards Jordan ::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::eyes the CIV and glances away quickly::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::looks at the OPS officer::  CO: Sir I think you will find my SFI involvement interesting as well but that is another story.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::takes a shaky breath and forces herself to ignore what she just saw::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::looks curiously at the FCO:  FCO:  Problem, Lt?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: nods :: CIV: I look forward to hearing your war stories, Lieutenant. 

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Thank you sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::sits up straight and concentrates on a display panel::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::shakes her head quickly:: OPS: No, Sir.....not at all.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: hands the PADD back to Rochelle, and sits down in the command chair::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::looks to her right as the Captain takes his seat and then back toward the view screen::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::walks over to OPS::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Thisah:  There is something familiar nearby.  ::continues to try and understand what his senses are telling him::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OPS: Cmdr sir I was told to report to you for an assignment.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  You seem uncomfortable ... that's all.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::is smiling::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CIV:  Ok ... let's see what you can do, Lt.  ::motions for the PADD::

Host Coot says:
@ <Thisah> CNS: Yes.  It was always familiar.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
OPS: Just a bit strained, I guess, Sir. New posting and all.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: How was your talk with the Admiral, Captain? ::decides to make some sort of conversation::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::hands her the PADD::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Thisah:  I don't understand what it is.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
FCO:  Understood.  And drop the "Sir".  My name is Jordan.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::nods but doesn't comment::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::senses something unusual:: CO:  Captain ... our sensors are clear but the Gecko has picked up something ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CMO: Ah... strained, to be honest. The Admiral and I do not see eye to eye on a number of issues. It's not a matter of one of us being wrong, and the other right. We just come at things from different perspectives.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Thisah moves to the rear of the bridge and takes a meditative position on the floor.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::nods in understanding:: CO: Not everyone is meant to see eye to eye, such is life. ::smiles a bit as she looks toward Jordan::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: What have they got?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::notes Thisah change of position then looks forward::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I don't know yet ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Open a channel to the Gecko.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::rejoins consciousness with the Gecko::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::done with diagnostics::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Opening channel ... ::hails the Gecko::

Host Coot says:
@ <Thisah> ~~~ ::doesn't open channel, but instead connects to the consciousness of the entire Pendragon bridge crew:: ~~~

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  All I was able to sense it that it had picked up something ...

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ CNS:  Mikal? ~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::feels a bit odd as the connect is established between the minds of the crew and the Gecko::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::senses a link::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks around as though someone called his name :: OPS: What the devil...?

Host Coot says:
@ <Thisah> CNS: She is near...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~OPS:  Jordan.  You feel as though you were in the next room.  ~~~  ::marvels at the strength of the connection::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir it is telepathic sir.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Thisah:  Maintain course to Ravenscar?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
@~~~ CNS:  Mikal, your sensors have detected something ... can you tell me what it is?~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CIV: Yes. I just now realized it. I've... never felt a telepathic connection so strongly.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  It feels strange, doesn't it?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir it is understandable.  It seems that this individual is a very strong one.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::smiles a bit as she makes sense of the link::

Host Coot says:
ACTION: The Pendragon has closed a fair amount of distance between the vessels.  They are now 10 minutes apart.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~OPS:  She... the mother perhaps?~~~

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::checks her speed and course heading::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I surmise that the closer we come the stronger the link.

Host Coot says:
@ <Thisah> CNS: We must. She cannot know we suspect anything.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ CNS:  I'd say that's a fair bet.~~~ ::checks her sensors:: ~~~ CNS:  We are 10 minutes behind you. ~~~

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::nods::  

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
::shakes head, presses a few buttons to clarify, then shakes head::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: Strange conversation this individual is having.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Sir, I'm getting something strange over here.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: Captain, Damien reporting. Though I cannot discern this with any instrument of measure, there is something different in the 'feel' of the ship so to speak.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::is trying to ignore the conversation taking place, not sure if she is supposed to be hearing it or not.::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
~~~ Thisah: Is it the Gothric you are detecting, Thisah? ~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::she uncrosses her legs as she listens, wondering what the next course of action would be::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: Maybe it’s an engineering thing. You were an engineer first

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: What is it?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: I'm losing stars.

Host Coot says:
@ ~~~ CO: You are wise.  She approaches. ~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: What? Explain.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::is startled to hear the CO's "voice"::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::her attention shifts to the CSO::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
~~~ Thisah: A ship your size could be very vulnerable. Come to a full stop. We'll tractor you aboard. ~~~

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::wills the Gecko to remain on course::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Several stars on LRS seem to have disappeared. They were there and now they're not.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Thisah:  He doesn't understand.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  No, Captain, that's not a good idea.  The Gecko is far better able to handle the Gothric than we are ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Can you confirm that they are gone, and not just blocked from our view somehow?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::does not know much about the Gecko so she remains.. .silent::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I'm not sure I understand.

Host Coot says:
@ ~~~ CO: A noble gesture. I will take it under consideration. ~~~

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::closes eyes and opens his mind completely::

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: I can't, but I can tell you that there is a pattern, a growing circular area of missing stars, centered on where the Gecko is currently heading.

Host Coot says:
ACTION: Sensors on both vessels start acting up.  It's the same signature as the Gothric.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Captain, think about it.  The Gecko, as a ship, is a consciousness and a very powerful telepathic consciousness at that.  And the Gothric is a powerful race.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Now I’m starting to lose sensors all together.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::opens eyes widely::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Something is not right.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: All the more reason to have the Gecko on board. If we can't protect her, maybe she can protect us.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I agree with that statement.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  With all due respect, that is up to Thisah.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::is trying to compensate for the sensor fade::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::checks their ETA::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: I understand that.   ~~~ Thisah: We need to combine forces, work together rather than separately. ~~~

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::bites back a flash of annoyance at the CO's interference::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::stares in disbelief at the sensor data::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ CNS:  What does Thisah think? ~~~

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::has faith that Ravenscar is still there, although it is not appearing on sensors::

Host Coot says:
@ ~~~ CO: You prove yourself wise once again. ~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::listens to the conversation, just hoping they can beat this::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
*CEO*: Figure out what's wrong, Jose, and right quick. We may be going into battle soon.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~OPS:  I would not dare intrude~~~

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CIV: What's not right, Lt?

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: Thisah turns very pale as does the Gecko. From the Pendragon view screen, she appears to be forming a shadow around herself.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::hears the conversation and is hoping like the rest that it turns out that they can beat this::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
*CO*: You don't understand. Nothing is wrong. It just feels wrong

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: looks at the screen :: CSO: What's happening to the Gecko?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@Thisah:  Just a few more minutes.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: It is something that I feel sir.  Something is wrong.  It feels wrong.  Exactly what I can't say but it feels wrong.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::watches the screen curiously::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CIV: Seems to be a lot of that going around.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The Gecko begins vibrating and separates into two identical vessels.  One is brilliantly white - The other is pitch black.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
Self:  What the?!?!?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir but I think it is something specific.  As I said I can't put my finger on it at the moment.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Self: Oh my...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
:: staring at screen :: CSO: Gods of light! What just happened?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: I think sir it is pure good and evil possibly?

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: I have absolutely no idea...

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The Telepathic link to Thisah is gone and the "channel" has closed.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::feels Thisah move off::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: It would explain the white and black and sir the telepathic channel is gone now sir.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I can't sense Thisah any longer ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CSO: Scan the... Geckos. Which one are Luchena and Thisah on?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OPS: Nor can I.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::looks surprised and wonders if it’s a visual anomaly::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::takes a deep breath and remains straight on course::

Host Coot says:
# ACTION: Several jets of light streak forth from Thisah's vessel.  They illuminate a large black mass directly between all three vessels and Ravenscar.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: Hello what have we here?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::quickly scans the mass::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir do you see what I see?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::falters momentarily::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CIV: Indeed I do.  OPS: Red alert.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::initiates red alert::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::taps her Combadge:: *Sickbay*: Yates to Sickbay, be prepared for casualties.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::resumes course::

Host Coot says:
# ACTION: Multiple black jets shoot forth from the Black vessel and strike the Gothric.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::hears the red alert and leaves for the bridge::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OPS: Would you like I should take tactical Jordan?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
All: Suggestions. What can we do to help?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CIV:  Please do so.  But fire only on the Captain's orders, understood.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OPS: Understood.

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: I’m getting a high energy signal, but I’m not to sure what kind of energy it is...

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::waits tensely for her orders::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::walks towards the tactical console and fires it up::

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ CNS:  Mikal?  Can you hear me?  What's going on?~~~

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
CO: I would suggest monitoring the situation... maybe we should fire as a surprise. Wait for a bit, so they won't expect it.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: This may be the very battle between good and evil.

Host Coot says:
# ACTION: The Gothric mass continues to grow in diameter and returns fire upon both of the Geckos.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::brings the tactical control panel to red alert status::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Jose, if we get close enough, can we extend shields to protect both Geckos?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Tactical ready. All weapons on standby. Shields up and we are ready for what ever happens.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  Maybe we could distract the Gothric ... give the Gecko a fighting chance ...

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::arriving on the bridge, hears the captain:: CO We should be able to give them some protection.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@~~~OPS: Tell Ashley I think I love her.~~~  ::concentrates solely on the Gecko::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
OPS: But how long would we hold out?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OPS: I agree with you on that thought but the question is how?

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CMO:  Probably not that long ... but it wouldn't need to be ...

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Bring us within range of the Geckos, Lt.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Sir.

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::closes in on the two ships::

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
OPS: As long as we can get away from their fire after a bit I assume that would work rather well... ::watches the FCO, wondering how good of a flyer she is::

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
OPS: Unless maybe the telepathic abilities of all of us could exert some type of distraction long enough to make it possibly stop and concentrate on something else?

Host CO_Thraxis says:
OPS: Get a transporter lock on Luchena and Thisah. Be ready to beam them out if things go badly.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
~~~ CNS:  You can tell her yourself ~~~

CSO_Cmdr_Toms says:
CO: Sir there is a large abundance of dark matter out there. I think that the dark gecko might be made of it.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::attempts to get the requested lock::

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
CO: Firing range in three, Sir.

Host Coot says:
# ACTION: The Gecko_B (black) shimmers and begins to alter shape.  It is vanishing from sensors.

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Closer. We need to be within shield range.

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
::raises an eyebrow:: Self: They can cloak?

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
CO: Sir I am losing the lock on the black Gecko.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I'm losing the black ship ... it's vanishing from sensors ... if we are to do anything it's now

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::nods:: CO: We're in range, Sir.

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::readies the ships systems to extend the shields and render aid::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
CEO: Extend shields, Jose.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
@::is immersed in the experience of the ship::

Host Coot says:
# ACTION: The Gecko_W pulls away from the other vessels and increases speed towards the Gothric.  Brilliant light flashing in all direction.

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
::watches his own console for any power deviations::

CEO_Lt_Damien says:
::Activates the program to extend shields:: CO: It's in place.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  The white ship is pulling away ...

CIV_Lt_M_Rochelle says:
Self: Why is the white ship pulling away?

CMO_LtCmdr_Yates says:
Self: Come on... ::holding onto the chairs sides tightly::

Host CO_Thraxis says:
FCO: Follow the white ship, Lt.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
CO:  I've lost the black ship ... but I can sense Mikal's presence ... he is there ...

FCO_LtjgMorgan says:
::sets course and the ship slips into pursuit:: CO: Aye, Sir.

Host Coot says:
@ ACTION: The Pendragon's shield flicker as they extend beyond and enclose a small pod, comprised of a very dense material.

OPS_Cmdr_J_Thraxis says:
::locks transporters onto the pod ... ::

Host Coot says:
# ACTION: In one final brilliant flash, the Gecko_W and the dark mass of the Gothric vanish from sensors.  The stars that were not visible now reappear as does Ravenscar in the distance.

Host Coot says:
<<<< Pause Mission >>>>
