Creation from Destruction.

CO von Krieg says:
::carries a padd from the situation table to the Hard Chair, glances over to XO::

Host John A says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh makes it's way to the Grejac trade routes starting point near Outpost 1277

EO Mo`Bri says:
::watches the power grids::

CNS Janan says:
::leaves her quarters and walks off down the corridor::

CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Helm: Lay in a standard patrol pattern. Pull us within two light years of the Neutral Zone.

EO Mo`Bri says:
*CO*: Sir, power grid is at 100% and if you need more I can get you up to 120%.

CO von Krieg says:
::smiles with satisfaction:: *ACEO*: Good work. Keep that in reserve. VonKrieg, out.

EO Mo`Bri says:
*CO*: Acknowledged, Mo'Bri out.

Host John A says:
ACTION: The Helm answers smoothly and the Pharaoh takes it's place behind a freighter convoy

CNS Janan says:
::walks onto the bridge::

CO von Krieg says:
::settles into the Hard Chair, looks at the padd::

EO Mo`Bri says:
Ens. Johnson:  I want you to do a diagnostic on all EPS maniflods and conduits.

CO von Krieg says:
XO: First, I don't care about diplomacy. I still don't like being this close to the Neutral Zone.

CNS Janan says:
::glances over to science station, sighs slightly, then moves over towards it slowly::

CO von Krieg says:
<Johnson>: Aye. Can do, sir.

XO Starks says:
:: turns TAC chait to face CO ::

XO Starks says:
CO: agreed sir, but all things being the same they haven't been agressive since the war

Host SO Kibble says:
:: begins deep scans of Romulan space::

EO Mo`Bri says:
::walks to the propulsion board and runs level 2 diagnositc of the warp coils::

CO von Krieg says:
::grunts:: XO: Still...my homeworld is close to Romulan space. Always stiring it up.

CNS Janan says:
SO: Anything I may be able to help you with?

CO von Krieg says:
:turns to face XO:: XO: They are difficult to trust or predict.

Host SO Kibble says:
CNS: Nope, I'm not showing much out there right now

XO Starks says:
CO: indeed they are. I'd be happy if our convoy just goes unnoticed by their boarder outpost

EO Mo`Bri says:
::tries not to loose her concentration on her work, being this close to Romulus::

EO Mo`Bri says:
Ens. Johnson:  How's that diagnostic coming?

Host SO Kibble says:
ACTION: The Pharaoh travels for an hour or so, staying close to the freighters

CO von Krieg says:
::grunts again:: XO: It doesn't matter if we don't, First.

EO Mo`Bri says:
::watches the sensor grids::

Host SO Kibble says:
:: notes a blip on the LRS readout::

CO von Krieg says:
::stands and moves to science::SO: Anything interesting?

XO Starks says:
:: hears SO's panel indicator :: SO: what have you got?

Host SO Kibble says:
CO: Sir, I'm reading Ion trails and tacheon traces across the nuetral zone.

XO Starks says:
CO: Cloaked ships crossing the zone?

CO von Krieg says:
SO: Tachyon trails?

CNS Janan says:
::watches the bridge crew::

Host SO Kibble says:
:: points at screen:: XO: See em sir? here and here, pretty fresh

CO von Krieg says:
SO: Do they project into Federation space?

XO Starks says:
SO: yeah...I see 'em. I'd say in the last 20 hours there's been traffic

EO Mo`Bri says:
*SO*: Do you need more sensor resolution?  I can tweek it some more..

Host SO Kibble says:
*ENG* Give me what you can

XO Starks says:
CO/SO: to leave trails that heavy they wern't trying to run quiet

Host SO Kibble says:
XO: Right, but it ends just inside the Empire...

EO Mo`Bri says:
*SO*:Acknowledged.

CO von Krieg says:
OPS: Send a coded message to Command Base for this sector. Relay our findings.

CO von Krieg says:
CNS: Lt., what is the status of the convoy?

EO Mo`Bri says:
::taps a few commands and watches the sensor grid as it strengthens the resolution::

EO Mo`Bri says:
*SO*: Hows that?

CNS Janan says:
::standing away from any of the bridge stations, blinks, before looking towards the SO::

Host SO Kibble says:
*ENG* better, thanks

XO Starks says:
SO: run the reading against the library computer and see if you can confirm that it is indeed from a Romulan vessel 

EO Mo`Bri says:
*SO*: Always aim to please.

Host SO Kibble says:
CO\XO: I'd think we have some company across the Border...

Host SO Kibble says:
XO, aye sir... :: runs library comparison::

CNS Janan says:
::makes her way over to a console, deciding it could be useful :: 

Host SO Kibble says:
ACTION: The ghost sensor blips seem to move a little

CO von Krieg says:
::turns to front of bridge::FCO: Helm, move us within one light year of the Neutral Zone.

OPS Riker says:
*ACEO* where are you Mo`Bri 

EO Mo`Bri says:
::pulls up her technical schematics and information on the Romulan cloaking device::  Self: I had better brush up on this before we have any surprises.

EO Mo`Bri says:
*OPS*: Sir I am in the pit.

Host SO Kibble says:
All: I have movement i think... I can't get a lock.

CO von Krieg says:
XO: They have no reason to be this far  into the Zone. Your opinion.

CNS Janan says:
::quietly monitors the convoy::

XO Starks says:
CO: too big to be a scout ship

XO Starks says:
CO: ..I don't know of anything in this sector that would be of interest to them

CO von Krieg says:
XO: Only one vessel?

OPS Riker says:
::walks out of his quarters and heads to the  TL:: Main Engineering 

EO Mo`Bri says:
*OPS*: Sir I am in the engineering pit on deck 3.

XO Starks says:
CO: either one ship making multiple trips back and forth or a regular lane of traffic in the last half day

CO von Krieg says:
SO: CAn you detect the end point of the shipping lane?

OPS Riker says:
::exits  the tl and walks into  MENG and sees a tech working at his station:: wheres  ens bri  petty officer 

Host SO Kibble says:
CO: I'm trying but its obscured by traffic ion trails

OPS Riker says:
<<TECH>> over ther sir 

CO von Krieg says:
CNS: Counselor, try to hail the Romulan vessel, please.

XO Starks says:
SO: Yeah it's a mess of iononized particles out there, it be hard for one ship to leave this sir

EO Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Sir I believe that what the SO is seeing is a much larger ship.

Host SO Kibble says:
ACTION: A plasma trail appears behind one of the Freighters and it veers toward Romulan space

OPS Riker says:
::walks up to where ens bri is working:: Need a hand  Ensign 

EO Mo`Bri says:
::looks up::  Sir?

XO Starks says:
:: hears ACEO message :: ALL: but that would have to be as big as a warbird if not larger

Host SO Kibble says:
CO: We have a freighter off course sir, I'm reading an overload in their engineering section

CO von Krieg says:
FCO: Move within transporter range of the freighter. Best speed.

Host SO Kibble says:
ACTION: The cargo ship accelerates out off control and soon crosses into romulan space

EO Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Not necessarily sir.  It might be a slightly larger freighter emitting plasma from a damaged nacell.

XO Starks says:
:: looks at tac screen :: ALL: they've driffeted into Romulan space

CO von Krieg says:
CNS: On all Romulan channels, please advise them of our situation. Continue with updates to command base.

CO von Krieg says:
XO: First, I don't see any options here.

XO Starks says:
CO: we can't wait for Romulan or Federation approval to pursue

EO Mo`Bri says:
All: Listen up people, we might have a situation coming up and I need everyone on their toes.  I want all teams to go to their assigned stations as soon as Red Alert is sounded, and it won't be a drill.  That much I can say with certainty.

Host RNS_Sirilius says:
ACTION:  deloaks just inside the nuetral zone and fires a plasma torpedeo at the cargo ship

CO von Krieg says:
XO: Agreed. FCO: Helm, move us into the Neutral Zone and the freighter. CNS: Continue...

CNS Janan says:
::has never felt this uncomfortable for a long time, nods to the CO, opens all romulan channels, updates command first::

XO Starks says:
ALL: Red Alert!

Host SO Kibble says:
CO: Romulan De-cloaking! It's fired on the freighter!

Host SO Kibble says:
CO: I can't get a lock on the romulan scout, but I thinks it's still close

CO von Krieg says:
CNS: Any responses to our hail?

XO Starks says:
CO: they don't want us crossing the zone, they even destroyed the freighter so we wouldn't cross. there has to be something big going on over there

OPS Riker says:
::walks  bak  to the  TL and goes back to engineering:: 

CNS Janan says:
::does not look at him:: CO: No sir ::repeats the hail and informs command base about the frighters dimise::
