It has been a few days since the Pharaoh docked at Outpost 81 for repairs and for the 'refit'.

Dr. Sorus and the Engineering crew have successfully installed the cloaking device to adapt to the ship's power systems. Most repairs to the ship have been completed, with one exception...

Unfortunately because the Outpost does not carry a supply of Starship Command Chairs, on the bridge there is a small blue metallic folding chair where the Captain's Chair would normally be....

The Pharaoh is prepared to depart from the Outpost to the Chaison System...

CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::nods at McGrady, then turns back to the board::

ACTION: The CEO successfully reroutes power to the cloaking device. The cloak is engaged and the ship is cloaked.

XO_McGrady says:
Dr: You would have me fly this vessel into the midst of the Neutral Zone, in terrorist controlled space, at that, with a malfunctioning cloaking device?
Dr_Sorus says:
XO: Ah... see? The cloak is operational. I guess you do have competent engineers aboard after all.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
::Looks at the MO with anger:: MO_Payne: BBQ? My EO might be dead and my arm is sore and numb. Show some respect!
XO_McGrady says:
::gives the Dr. a dubious look::
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::writhing on the floor in pain::

ACTION: TIME WARP It has been 3 days of travel in the Neutral Zone under cloak. ETA to the Chaison System is 5 minutes.

ACTION: The Captain has eaten a Jobapolien Egg Salad that was left out for too long. He is suffering from painful indigestion, explosive diarrhea and uncontrollable flatulence. He has been quarantined in his quarters because the medical personnel in sickbay would not be able to breathe otherwise.

MO_Payne says:
::looks down at B'Renak in sickbay:: EO: See.... no more burns or scars... try to stay awake on duty now.  ::grins::
FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
XO: ETA to the Chaison system is 5 minutes.

::gets off the Biobed::  MO: Thanks.  ::leaves sickbay with her boss::
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Yes?
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir, I don't understand what happened. I had just fixed the blasted things and double-checked them. There had to be a reason for them to explode! ::scratches head::
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::blushes slightly:: XO: I informed you that a torpedo pattern is laid in and awaiting your mark, ::pause:: Sir
XO_McGrady says:
::smiles:: CTO: Very good, Lieutenant.
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: ETA?

FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
XO: Aye, sir.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO/CSO: Are the vessels showing any signs of recognizing our ship?
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: I know. I'm glad you’re better.
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
XO: Not at this time, but I am continuing to monitor the situation, sir.
Dr_Sorus says:
XO: Commander, I suggest we keep the cloak online until we are within weapons range of the platforms.
XO_McGrady says:
Dr: Agreed.

XO_McGrady says:
Dr/CTO/FCO: Same drill... decloak, fire, recloak, move.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: This time, let's get 4.
Dr_Sorus says:
::nods his head::
Gilles says:
<SO_S'nsr> All: Ouch !
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::watches the monitor and the cloaking grid::
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye aye, sir. ::grins at McGrady and turns back to her board, making a few adjustments::

XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Fire!
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Nods and fires another torpedo spread::
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::looks at the SO:: SO: You OK?
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
Outloud: Torpedoes away!
XO_McGrady says:
Dr: Recloak!

ACTION: Due to the stress of decloaking and cloaking again, the cloak powers down.

Gilles says:
<SO_S'nsr> CMO: It's nothing Doc... ::looks at finger:: Looks like an old-fashioned paper cut
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir, the cloak is down.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
Self: Krit!
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
*XO*: Sir? The cloak is down. Attempting repairs now.
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::nods and turns to the screen::
XO_McGrady says:
Dr/*CEO*: Reestablish that cloak!
XO_McGrady says:
CSO: Have any weapons targeted our ship?
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::grabs tool kit and rushes to repair the Regel compensator::

ACTION: The cloak fuses with the power relays.

CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
XO: I am afraid the cloak is just not compatible enough to our systems.
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Seems to be the Regel compensator again.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
::walks out of his officer:: EO: Reroute auxiliary power to the cloak.

ACTION: A Romulan Warbird decloaks in front of the Pharaoh.

CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::turns sensors towards the ships from the 7th planet and readies a few evasive patterns::
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
XO: Not yet, but we might as well expect them soon, sir.
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Hail that ship!
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::eyes go wide as she stares at the screen:: Self: Just great…
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Tries to hail the Warbird::
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir, it is fused. I will attempt to run the bypass now.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
*XO*: We're rerouting auxiliary power into the cloak, sir.
XO_McGrady says:
*CEO* Understood.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ RCTO: Bring all batteries to bear on that ship.

ACTION: The smaller terrorist vessels stay put and watch at a distance.

XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Prepare for evasive warp.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::broadcast hail to Warbird::
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Is that Warbird weapons armed?  Shields?
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::begins to run the bypass and tie it in to the auxiliary compensators::
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ <RCSO> Ma'am... there's a Romulan life sign on that ship!
FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
XO: Aye, sir.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ RCSO: WHAT?
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ ROPS: Answer the hail.
Dr_Sorus says:
XO: Commander, with the cloak down we won't be able to escape. The platforms would destroy us once we're in their firing range.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ COM: Pharaoh: Who are you?
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
XO: They're answering the hail.  ::nods at him:: You're on.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
*XO*: Auxiliary power will hold the cloak for a few hours but if we want it back up for good I need more primary power.
XO_McGrady says:
COM: RCO: This is Commander McGrady of the USS Pharaoh, on a joint mission with the Romulan Empire to destroy the terrorist weapons systems.
XO_McGrady says:
*CEO*: Standby.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@::chuckles:: COM: Pharaoh: XO: Indeed Commander... and I am Praetor M'loth of the sixth dynasty... State your purpose!
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir, the auxiliary power is not sufficient to keep us fully cloaked in my opinion.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::hands McGrady a PADD that says the Warbird’s weapons are hot and shields are up::
Dr_Sorus says:
::stands up:: COM: RCO: tr'Ralihiu, I always knew you were opposed to the peace. But to actively help the terrorists... I didn't think you were at that level.
XO_McGrady says:
::hears the Dr.’s tone:: CTO: Red alert.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@COM: Pharaoh: Sorus: Doctor Sorus... of course... XO: Commander... turn over him to our ship... NOW!
XO_McGrady says:
COM: RCO: On whose authority?
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::stays beside him, standing just to his right:: XO: Aye, sir. ::moves to her board:: *Shipwide* Red Alert, all hands to battle stations. This is not a drill
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::as the red alert klaxons blare she continues her repairs with renewed vigor::
 RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ COM: Pharaoh: XO: On the authority of my weapons and of these platforms... we can do it th… I believe the correct vernacular is... the easy way... or the hard way.
XO_McGrady says:
COM: RCO: Standby.
XO_McGrady says:
::cuts the COM channel::
XO_McGrady says:
*CEO* Status of the cloaking device?
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@COM: Pharaoh: XO: You have 15 seconds.....14...13...12...
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::shakes her head and heads back to sickbay, knowing this can only lead to casualties::
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@RCTO: Lock weapons on target.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
*XO*: It's holding sir but I need more primary power.
XO_McGrady says:
::reopens channel:: COM: RCO: Have you not seen the report from the Tal Shiar?
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@COM: Pharaoh: XO: ....5...4...3...2…
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@RCTO: Fire !!!
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Get us out of here... evasive maneuvers.
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir, I am going to bring auxiliary reactors 7-10 online for shield power girds we need more in the shields now.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ RCTO: Concentrate on their engines... keep them here.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: Good idea. Make it so....
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::walks back into sickbay:: All:  Ok, lets get sickbay prepared for incoming wounded.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Moves back to McGrady’s side::  XO: Sir, we did get those four platforms.
FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
::engages evasive maneuvers::
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
<Payne> CMO: Again ?  ::feels the deck shudder:: CMO: Got it Boss
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
Ens_Spanner: Bring on auxiliary reactors and feed them directly into the shields.
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Understood... lay in evasives.

ACTION: The Romulans score a direct hit and the CTO's console overloads and explodes. She is suffering from 2nd degree burns.

FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
XO: Aye, sir. Engaging evasive maneuvers.
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Reroutes tactical to his board and continues the defensive attacks::
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
<Ens_Spanner> EO: Ma'am auxiliary reactors are online and tied into the shields.
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::oversees the preparation of sickbay::
XO_McGrady says:
::reels from the nearby explosion::

ACTION: The other ships approach the Pharaoh on attacking vectors.

XO_McGrady says:
*CMO*: Medical emergency on the bridge.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Went back to her board and before she can say 'incoming' she feels herself fly back out of her chair::
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir, shields have been reinforced to 110% over normal.
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Dodge their fire and get us close to those platforms!
Dr_Sorus says:
XO: Commander, it is imperative that we complete the mission!
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
*XO*: On my way. Payne: See to sickbay. ::picks up her med kit and heads to the bridge::
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Coughs:: XO: Si… ::voice cracks, she coughs again:: Sir.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: That's great....keep the cloak online
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::gets thrown again and busts a rib but keeps on going ignoring the pain::
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Noseitall fires from TAC2::
FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::evades more fire and flies towards the nearest platform::
XO_McGrady says:
CTO: Concentrate fire on those platforms, Lieutenant.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ RCTO: Maintain fire! Stop them!
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::enters the bridge:: XO: Where?
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir I am going to have to pull the plug on non-essential systems to keep the warp core and engines online.
XO_McGrady says:
CMO: The CTO has been burned... we need her on the bridge...do what you can here.

ACTION: The smaller terrorist ships fire torpedoes at the Pharaoh, reducing shield strength to 85%.

CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
:: Relinquishes tactical to Noseitall:: XO: I don’t hold out much  hope for us here, sir.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: Do it, but reroute emergency power to those non-essentials for now.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Coughs some more:: XO: Aye, sir. ::Moves towards Noseitall and shoves him aside::
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::nods and goes to the CTO and scans her::
XO_McGrady says:
CSO: Rock and a hard place... if we warp out, these platform torpedoes will pulverize us.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ RCTO: What was that ship firing on the Starfleet ship?
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::sees the shields drop to 85%:: Self: Blast.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@RCTO: Scan it!
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: Reroute secondary power into the shields
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
XO: And if we stay the ships will destroy us, I believe the saying is, do you have your will in order?
XO_McGrady says:
Noseitall:  Sting our pursuers with phasers, but don't overtax our power.
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
::presses a hypo to the CTO's neck:: CTO: That is a mild painkiller… ::get the dermal regenerator out:: …and this should help.
FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
::continues flying evasive maneuvers::
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Fires torpedoes at the remaining platforms, pushes Dr. Sacul aside:: CMO: Later, Doctor.
XO_McGrady says:
CSO: I'm prepared to fulfill our mission, Commander...we're dead if we stay, and we’re dead if we leave.
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Sir, the cloak is still offline. I have two teams on the repairs but all this rerouting isn't going to help with the shields.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: Good, keep up the repair teams.
XO_McGrady says:
CSO: Our only hope is to destroy those platforms and warp out.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
<Noseitall> XO: Aye sir ::standing beside Sika, he fires phasers::
CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
CTO: We can do this my way here....or my way in sickbay....I don't care which!
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
XO: I concur, sir. If it gets too bad for us, I am prepared to give the proper codes to the computer with you, sir.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@RCTO: Maintain fire on the engines first... we wish to keep the vessel here.
XO_McGrady says:
::nods to the CSO::
FCO_Lt_Khrex says:

ACTION: The Pharaoh continues to take a beating. Shields are down to 34%.

CMO_Ens_Sacul says:
CTO: You will stay alert. I'm just trying to prevent an infection.  ::finishes up with the CTO:: I expect you in sickbay when this is over.
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ RCTO: Enough of this foolery... destroy their weapons if you can!
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: Bring us to that cluster... maybe we can get some cover behind that moon.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
*CEO*: We got all power of non-essential systems and emergency power into the shields.
FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
XO: Aye, sir.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:

Outloud: Torpedoes away
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::thinks, power ..::Self:  Wait a sec. ::rolls over to the sensor grid::  CEO: Sir, for the moment, we are not using all our sensor grids, I can shunt some power from there and send it to the shields which are at 34%.

ACTION: The torpedoes destroy 4 more platforms. 16 remain.

CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
XO: That is a most illogical statement as you could not possibly be having any emotional attachment to a machine.
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
CEO: Our priorities are shields, weapons, and engines at the moment.
XO_McGrady says:
FCO: There are four more that are close by... lay in course.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
XO: 4 more gone, 16 left
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: Command says shields are most important. Get those up to par. The rest is just hairsplitting for us right now.
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
Self: Humanoids.

ACTION: The Romulans score another direct hit and torpedo launchers are offline.

ACTION: Shields are down to 8%.

FCO_Lt_Khrex says:
::changes heading and continues flying::
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::sees the torpedo launcher button go red:: Self: Blast!
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
XO: Sir, aft torpedo launcher is hit!
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
EO: Reroute everything but up life support to shields.
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::reroutes power from the sensor grids and applies it to the shields::
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@RCTO: Excellent.... once more.... the phasers now!
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
*XO*: Torpedo launchers are off line.
XO_McGrady says:
::sees systems going down rapidly, and whispers to the CSO:: CSO: Well... looks like they either blow it up or we do.  Either way... no surrender, Commander!
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
XO: No surrender, Commander.
XO_McGrady says:
::nods::  CTO: Hail the Warbird.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
XO: As you were, sir. All launchers are offline.
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::continues rerouting power from all systems except life support::

ACTION: The terrorist ships have no more firepower and they withdraw. Leaving the Warbird to do all the work.

CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
XO: Aye. ::hails the Warbird::
RCO_tr`Ralihiu says:
@ ROPS: They are??  Ignore them.
CEO_Ens_Townsend says:
*XO*: It's insanity down here. I lost two Engineers and the shields are so weak, yet we got nothing to keep them holding. I suggest an emergency lock down.
CTO_LtJg_Llynisika says:
::Pushes the Doctor aside and crawls under the board, trying to restore the launchers::
CSO_Cmdr_Stidd says:
::Prepares the self-destruct sequence in the computer for the XO::
EO_Ens_J`Trel_B`Renak says:
::trying to remember where she read how a lone starship in our present condition actually disables the Warbird::

ACTION: The ship rocks around due to the Romulan Disruptor fire. The blue "Command Chair" collapses under the stress and the XO collapses with it. A sharp piece of the metallic chair stabs the XO in the "derrière".

ACTION: The XO rolls forward and at the feet of Dr. Sorus, grabbing his "derrière" in pain. The FCO falls out of his chair and lands on top of the XO, knocking the wind out of him.

ACTION: The Romulan Warbird knocks the shields offline. A Romulan Transporter wide-beam transports Dr. Sorus off the bridge. Due to the proximity of the XO and FCO to Dr. Sorus, they have been captured as well...

ACTION: The Romulans have what they wanted and withdraw leaving the Pharaoh crew with a tough decision: Attempt a rescue of their captured comrades? Or complete their original mission discarding all hope of ever seeing them alive again?
