USS Pharaoh 10611.16

The crew have reached the coordinates of were the Romulan scout ship had last been. At this coordinates the Pharaoh Helon warning them off but the CO tried to inform him that the Romulan government had invited them there. Soon afterwards he attack and during the battle 3 Romulan warbirds decloaked and started to help the Pharaoh

As the battle went on Helon disable one warbird and critically damage the other two. Yet Helon ship had taken a beating itself and was revealed to be Borg infested.

Helon contact the Pharaoh again to make one last plea for them to leave but in the end it failed. Now a Borg cube is on approach and thing could look any worse.

::sits in the Chair [tm]::
XO_Santiago says:
::Rummaging through the med kit looking for her hypospray...pulling out what she needs she waits for the order of the Capt.  Whispering.::  CO:  I hope this works.
CO_Quchant says:
::looks at the XO::
Host Mark says:
Action: Helon warbird one fire on the Pharaoh and console start to blow on all decks
CTO_Sumner says:
::is keeping quantums on stand-by, hands on shields and transporters::
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Do you have a lock on Helon?
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: aye, sir
CTO_Sumner says:
<aye>
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Conn: Stand by for maximum warp
CTO_Sumner says:
::thinks the CO is going to get them killed::
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Energize
XO_Santiago says:
::Adjusts the hypospray a bit and takes a deep breath.::
CTO_Sumner says:
::activates transporters::
EO_Gorodetsky says:
::notices weapons are losing power::
XO_Santiago says:
EO:  Ens, I'll need you to give me a hand please.
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: 2 minutes to Borg cube arrival, sir.
EO_Gorodetsky says:
XO: What do you need?
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: did we get him?
XO_Santiago says:
EO:  Help restraining the Borg and your expertise in it's electronics.  Just don't tell my sister.
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: Sir, the beam is being reflected, probably by his personal shield.
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: I suggest pouring more energy into the buffer.
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Can you modulate the beam?
Host Mark says:
Action: Helon ship comes for another pass as the Borg cube enters the battle
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: We need to get out of here, sir... now!
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Sir the cube is here.   CTO:  Ens, fire on the cube.
CTO_Sumner says:
::Fires quantums at the cube::
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: dammit....evasive maneuvers.  Maximum warp.  Let's get out of here
CTO_Sumner says:
CO/XO: We don't have the shields for this fight, 34%
Host Mark says:
Action: The cube opens fire on the Pharaoh and some beam make contact with the ship
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Damn...... We needed Helon....::Tosses the hypospray back into the kit.::
CO_Quchant says:
CTO/EO: Divert the rest of the power to the shields and the engines.
CO_Quchant says:
::hangs on tight at the ship rocks::
CTO_Sumner says:
::cuts weapons and pumps energy to the shields:: CO: 12%!
EO_Gorodetsky says:
XO: The warp core is critical!
XO_Santiago says:
EO:  Prepare to eject the core, but not yet.  Let us get further away if possible.
CO_Quchant says:
XO: Get all available energy to the engines
Host Mark says:
<Computer>ALL: Warning core is unstable 5 minutes till core explodes
CTO_Sumner says:
::Hesitates, and considers activating the Warhead::
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Another problem... Core going critical....  ::Heads for the ops station...OPS officer down.  fingers fly over the console diverting power.::
EO_Gorodetsky says:
::transfers power to the engines:: XO: Permission to go to engineering?
XO_Santiago says:
EO:  At 40 secs eject the core!  Get to engineering!  Ask for Lorey when you get there!
CO_Quchant says:
XO: If we eject the core, we're dead in the water and we may as well call ourselves Borg
EO_Gorodetsky says:
::rushes to engineering::
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  That is why we need to be far away as possible before we eject the core...
XO_Santiago says:
*EO*:  Ens, if possible shut the core down first.  Try that...if not then eject.
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: I suggest setting course for Romulan space, we should have SOME protection...
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Agreed.
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Divert course to Romulus
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: We can't eject the core, only failsafe it, sir.
EO_Gorodetsky says:
::arrives at engineering, rushes::
XO_Santiago says:
::Looks back::  CTO:  Oh......didn't know that... Let's hope it doesn't explode then...
Host Mark says:
Action: The disabled warbird starts to power up it systems as all 3 warbird open fire at the cube
CTO_Sumner says:
::looks to the XO and smiles grimly::
EO_Gorodetsky says:
::rushes to the core::
CO_Quchant says:
*engineering*: Engine status?
Host Mark says:
<Engineering>*CO*: Sir core is unstable and we are losing power rapidly. We are trying to get everything under control but we need as many hands a possible
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*CO*: We're operating on reserve power.
XO_Santiago says:
<Lt Lorehani> ::Fingers flying over the console near the warp core.::
CO_Quchant says:
::punches a button on the armrest::
CO_Quchant says:
COM: Romulan Vessels: We will need some cover.  We're dangerously close to losing the core
Host Mark says:
<Romulan Commander> COM: CO: Understood good luck captain
CTO_Sumner says:
::is already formulating ideas for post core shutdown::
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Get us the other side of the Romulans.  Then switch to impulse power and evasive maneuvers
CO_Quchant says:
::watches the tactical display on the armrest as the position of the Romulan ships move to help the pharaoh
CO_Quchant says:
h
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: Sir, Helon is moving towards the warbirds.
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*XO*: We could eject the antimatter pods.
XO_Santiago says:
::Fingers continue to fly over the ops console.::
Host Mark says:
<Computer>ALL: Warning 3 minutes till core explosion
XO_Santiago says:
::Hears the EO and thinks.::  *EO*:  If you deem it's necessary do it.  Don't want for us to make a decision.  Just make sure it's necessary.
CO_Quchant says:
*Engineering*: Keep it together until we have the Romulans for cover.  Then shut down the core.
Host Mark says:
Action: One of the warbirds explodes as the other two back off and regroup
XO_Santiago says:
::Sees the warbird explode and cringes.::  CO:  Thomas this is not going the way it should be....
CO_Quchant says:
XO: It rarely does.  Practice to meet the in laws....nothing to it
CO_Quchant says:
::watches the tactical displays and decides that the ship is far enough away from the Romulans and the Borg.
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Uh huh.... anything for your bride huh...
CO_Quchant says:
*Engineering*: shut down the core
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: Umm... the Cube is heading for us
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*CO*: Aye sir, proceeding with shut down.
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: The warbirds seem to be ramming the cube, sir!
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Swing around
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Let's hope that works...shutting down the core.  I don't want to eject those antimatter thinga majigs....
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: all available power to the weapons. Let's give them a hand
CTO_Sumner says:
::shifts power to weapons, and opens up on the cube::
Host Mark says:
Action: The Pharaoh vents its plasma and the core shuts down
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Feel free to deplete the torpedo reserves
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*XO*: Power levels are dropping.
CTO_Sumner says:
::does so::
XO_Santiago says:
*EO*:  Excellent Ens.  You are doing great.  ::Hopes she infused confidence in her statement.::
Host Mark says:
Action: The cube opens fire on the other two warbirds as the Pharaoh torpedo ram into its side
CO_Quchant says:
::Watches the screen as the pharaoh flies around the cube shooting at it::
CTO_Sumner says:
::continues to unload the quantums::
Host Mark says:
Action: One of the warbirds is disable but the other one still continues to close on the cube and is close to making contact with it
CTO_Sumner says:
::Aims at the Borg's weapons to keep it from disabling the other warbird::
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  These Romulans are certainly suicidal...  ::Continues to work as fast as she can.::
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*XO*: Power reserves will be exhausted in 15 minutes!
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: Almost Klingon-like...
XO_Santiago says:
*EO*:  Acknowledged... keep it up as long as you can.  Hopefully this won't take much longer.
XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Almost.  Klingons would say this is honorable
CO_Quchant says:
::lets his crew work::
Host Mark says:
Action: Helon's ship intercepts the other warbird as both of them exploded in a huge ball of fire
CO_Quchant says:
XO: Perhaps I should say something klingon-y...
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Power reserves will be depleted in 15 mins.  If we are going to do something we have to do it now.
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: while the Romulans probably don't care.
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: Status on the cube?
XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Very true...they wouldn't care.
Host Mark says:
<S'Hila>::looks at the XO::
CTO_Sumner says:
::sighs in frustration, and thinks of something:: CO: Sir, distance us from the cube, I suggest using the Warhead.
XO_Santiago says:
::Feels eyes on her back. and turns.:: S'Hila:  Present company excluded of course.
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: dammit..I was trying so hard not to have to resort to that.  Prep the warhead.
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Bring us around
CTO_Sumner says:
::Issues warning to all personnel in the warhead to evacuate, and preps for launch::
CO_Quchant says:
All hands:: Brace for warhead launch.
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: Sir, the cube is hailing us...
CO_Quchant says:
::Waits for the Ship to get in position::
CO_Quchant says:
CTO: on screen
CTO_Sumner says:
::patches it through::
XO_Santiago says:
::Looks at the screen::
Host Helon says:
Action: The viewscreen show Helon on the cube
CO_Quchant says:
COM: Helon: Surrender
XO_Santiago says:
::Sits up straight.::  ALL:  Well there goes his last bit of individuality.
Host Helon says:
COM:CO: Captain you fought well and so did my former brethren
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: Maybe not...
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Ramming speed...engage
Host Helon says:
COM:CO: Captain the council has decide to leave and rebuilt else were. Yet if we met again you will not survive
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: Stay that order
CO_Quchant says:
COM: CO: Believe me...if we meet again, you will be joining great collective in the sky
CTO_Sumner says:
::hesitates as the CO's last order bounces around his head:: CO: uh... he c-cut the com, sir...
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  Captain....did he say Council?  What Council?
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: some kind of odd hybrid Romulan-Borg council?
XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Pure Borg wouldn't allow that.
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: They're not pure Borg, are they sir?
XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  The cube would be.
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: He cut communications, sir.
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: Maybe he took over the cube? Maybe a nice mid-flight transport of the Borg on the cube to the warbird and vice versa?
Host Helon says:
Action: The cube enters transwarp and disappears from sensors
XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Too many Borg to transport from the cube...but hey it's an idea...you transport enough  to cause some stress.
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: Then kill the rest...
Host Helon says:
<S'Hila>CO: Captain congratulations on a great victory and now I request permission to beam to the Romulan warship
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: All stop
XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  Possible, but we got a bigger problem.  We got Borg with individuality working as a collective...that is dangerous to the Federation.
CO_Quchant says:
SHila: One moment commander.  Let us get an assessment of where we are first
CO_Quchant says:
XO: Damage report
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: At least they're open to diplomacy...
XO_Santiago says:
::Looks at the console::  CO:  Reports just coming in......  Warp is offline....we pretty much depleted our power reserves... energy usage systems almost off line.
XO_Santiago says:
CTO:  If you want to call it that Ens...
CO_Quchant says:
SHila: You're stuck here for the moment
XO_Santiago says:
CO:  In short Sir... pretty much dead in the water.
CO_Quchant says:
*Engineering*: Get the warp core up as quickly as possible
CO_Quchant says:
SHila: Unless your fleet can come by and pick you up
CTO_Sumner says:
XO: Fine, they'll understand threats they can't go up against... CO: We should probably shut everything but critical systems down for now.
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*CO*: It will be at least 20 minutes before we can restart the warp core.
Host Helon says:
<S'Hila>CO: Well if you could dock with the warbird I'm help them
XO_Santiago says:
S'Hila:  Don't you want to make sure they are actually Romulans on board that warbird?
CO_Quchant says:
SHila: I thank you for your governments help.
CO_Quchant says:
AFCO: impulse power, and prepare to dock with a warbird.
Host Helon says:
<S'Hila>CO: We thank you for all your help and hopefully the peace between our two governments will last
CO_Quchant says:
SHila: We can hope that.  ::offers his hand to shake::
CTO_Sumner says:
::Thinks that dying to save the pharaoh is a good sign::
Host Mark says:
<S'Hila>::takes the CO hand and shakes it sideways:: CO: I hope I'm doing this right
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*CO*: We'll need to shut down all systems except life support and the environmental controls till the core is back online.
CTO_Sumner says:
::pushes himself back a little from his console, and lets out a sigh, finally coming down off of battle status for a moment::
CO_Quchant says:
*EO*: Do it. keep me informed of the repair efforts
CO_Quchant says:
SHila: No...actually... ::grins and shows him the right way::
EO_Gorodetsky says:
*CO*: Aye sir. ::wearily looks over all the repairs needed::
CTO_Sumner says:
CO: 3 torpedoes and 75% phasers... I suggest rearming before going too much farther after the core is back online.
XO_Santiago says:
<Lt Lorehani> ::Walk over to the new face in Engineering.::  EO:  I'm Lt Lorehani...good work
Host Mark says:
