Host Dave says:
@   Alar:  According to my sensors Commander, Captain Hodge is on the ship.  However, I am unable to detect where on the ship he is.

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: If so, I would advise going to the core

SO_Hall says:
*CSO::shakes his head:: Hall to CSO Krust. Sir, Again. The same thing happened. I think it has something to do with the hull.

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: If this ship is from the future, then they could have weapons that would grind the Pharaoh to dust from down here, and probably outrun it. When you next talk to Hall, discretly tell them to move to maximum transporter range, Sir.

@CEO: the comrelay circuits are offline, do you think you could take a look, you being the engineer and all?

Host CO_Love says:
<COMM> *Pereclyes* ETA to your location is 9 minutes...

MO_Knight says:
@ CSO: Looks like the crew was incinerated by what ever caused the ship to travel through time

CTO_Terr says:
@::kicks the companel::

CSO_Krust says:
@ :: winces at the CTO's lack of protocol ::

CEO_Alar says:
@CTO: Didn't you take any exstention courses? ::she pushes past him, opening the tool kit she brought with her::

@CEO: I didn't want to go poking aorund a 1000 year old antique

CEO_Alar says:
@::she takes a mental note to speak to the captain about the lack of protocol::

DrHaley says:
CO: I think I'll go down to the MB, sir.

CEO_Alar says:
@Terrance: You have no sense of adventure.

CSO_Krust says:
@ :: keys up all propulsion systems to active status ::

CTO_Terr says:
@CEO: I thought you would like that opportunity

Host CO_Love says:
<COMM> *Pereclyes* Revised ETA, we will be there in 5 minutes

Host Dave says:
ACTION:  LRS CAN DETECT SEVERAL RAIDER SHIPS ATTACKING THE PERECLYESE.....ALONG WITH A 2 OTHERS ATTEMPTING TO DISABLE THE CARGO SHIPS

CEO_Alar says:
@computer: Status on the long range comm?

Host Dave says:
@  Long Range Communications read as offline Commander.

CTO_Terr says:
@::starts tweaking a bio nueral gel pack node::

DrHaley says:
TL: Deck 3 <Comuter> ::chirp::

CEO_Alar says:
@Computer: Where's the break in the system?

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO:  go to weapons, and try a wide beam low level phaser to heat the surrounding area. 

Host CO_Love says:
TAC: As soon as we are withing weapons range, lock onto the closest target and fire at will

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: Aye

Host Dave says:
@  Alar:  the breakdown appears in main Communications control

Host CO_Love says:
FCO: ETA..?

CEO_Alar says:
@Computer: And that is where? ::she gathers her tools together::

FCO_Braun says:
TAC: We are almost there now... 1 minute...

TACSturek says:
CO: Aye captain. Quantum Torpedoes and phasers ready.

CTO_Terr says:
@::jogs over to the weapons panel, looks confused for a second, then fits into place, simple::

Host Dave says:
@  ::illuminates the way for Alar::

DrHaley says:
::arrives at deck 3

DrHaley says:
::

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: It would be a good idea to fire phasers at a certain section of the ice, below us, so that the other ice will melt and rush in to fill the gap and leave less ice on top for us to break through

FCO_Braun says:
:: Flys the Pharoah in close to nearest raider ::

DrHaley says:
::goes int o MedBay::

TACSturek says:
CO: Raiders check out as Peregrine class.....upgraded

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: Locking on to ice, firing

CSO_Krust says:
@ :: CTO: very well, ensign, make it so...

Host Dave says:
@  CTO:  I do not recommend that......there is a 69% chance that severe hull fatigue will compromise the hull integrity

EOMallory says:
::patches into scanners, to try to get a view of what's going on out there::

CTO_Terr says:
@::fires phasers::

CEO_Alar says:
@::she follows the path lit for her, and comes to main Communications Control in a rush:: Dave: I'm going to need your help here...I'm not used to your systems.

CTO_Terr says:
@::discontinues firing::

FCO_Braun says:

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: it's working Sir

EOMallory says:
::sees all sorts of weapons fire outside::  Hmmm...

FCO_Braun says:
:: brings ship around for another attack run ::

DrHaley says:
<MO> Aye sir.

TACSturek says:
CO: Raiders and Beta are damages sir.....seeing fluctuations in theyre power grid

Host Dave says:
ACTION:  WITH A SUDDEN LURCH, THE MERCURY SLIPS TO STARBOARD

TACSturek says:
<Raiders Alpha and Beta>

CSO_Krust says:
@ ALL: excellent!

DrHaley says:
::see's the small Sickbay-Maedical Bay in frenzy::

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: Felt like a thruster failure

CEO_Alar says:
@::she gives him a little laugh:: Thanks. ::is able to locate panel 117 with a minimum of fuss...then finds herself tipped tail over teakettle as the ship slips::

TACSturek says:
<damaged>

Host Dave says:
@  Alar/Bridge:  We are sinking.....current depth...1000m and sinking

FCO_Braun says:
TAC: I can bring around to the starboard side of target Raider Alpha

DrHaley says:
<medical>

Host CO_Love says:
TAC: Keep firing, don't let up for a second..!!

FCO_Braun says:
:: engages attack run ::

CSO_Krust says:
@ :: boost starboard thrusters downward ::

Host Dave says:
ACTION:  THE THURSTERS FAIL TO FIRE

TACSturek says:
CO: Am I shooting to kill?

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: I'll melt some ice now there, more intensly

OPSFowler says:
::Sorts out the different communications, looking for any from the Pereclyese::

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: I'll take a look at the thrusters

CTO_Terr says:
@::curses in Gaelic::

FCO_Braun says:
:: attack run is nearing Raider Alpha ::

EOMallory says:
::thinks: now would definately not be a good time to test the probe::

Host CO_Love says:
TAC: You are aiming to disable first, if that doesn't work, shoot to kill..

CEO_Alar says:
@Computer: What's going on? ::picking herself up and assessing the bruises::

CTO_Terr says:
@::walks over the the engineering console, starts tapping in commands::

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: wait, concentrate phaser fire directly above us

DrHaley says:
<MO> the EMH holoemitter checks out fine.

TACSturek says:
CO: Targetting Raider Alpha's Engines........Firing

Host Dave says:
@  Alar:  Lt Krust ordered phasers to fire and melt the remaining ice below us...he succeeded and the ship is sinking

TACSturek says:
::fires quantum torpedoes::

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: I think the thrusters will be online in eight seconds

FCO_Braun says:
:: passes Raider Alpha, turning for another attack run ::

Host Dave says:
ACTION:  THE MERCURY IS LISTING TO AN 80 DEGREE SLANT TO STARBOARD

TACSturek says:
CO: Raider Alpha is adrift sir

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: I have an idea which is risky, but might work

CNS_Kreig says:
::notes crew performance for evaluations::

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: lets have it

Host Dave says:
@  Alar /  Bridge:  Passing 1500m

FCO_Braun says:
:: disengages Raider Alpha, changes course for Rader Beta's position ::

Host CO_Love says:
TAC:  Good, Target the next ship..

CEO_Alar says:
@Computer: Fire the thrusters, then, to stabilise us.

CEO_Alar says:
@::slaps her commbadge:: Krust: What's going on up there?

CEO_Alar says:
@::she finds herself having to work on this at an angle::

FCO_Braun says:
TAC: I will bring in to Raider Beta on their aft port side...

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: If we drill a long hole with our phasers, about a few hundred kilometres long, and fire a low yield torpedo down it and detonate it, at that distance, it may clear the ice, but not damage the ship

CSO_Krust says:
@ *Alar* We are attempting to break free of the ice float, stand by ma'am

CEO_Alar says:
@::she hears stand by and worries as the ship continues to list::

FCO_Braun says:
:: engages full impulse for the attack run ::

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: is the ice melting above us?

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: Shall I proceed with the plan?

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: one moment

TACSturek says:
::locks on to Raider Beta's engines and fires phasers::

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: not as fast as we would like it to

FCO_Braun says:
:: nearing Raider Beta ::

DrHaley says:
<MO> Haley: We're ready.

Host CO_Love says:
TAC: Has the Pereclyes sustained any damage..?

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: set phasers, full intensity, directly above us and wait for my order

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: Set, wide beam full

CSO_Krust says:
@ :: notes that impulse engines show green ::

Host Dave says:
@  Alar /  Bridge:  IDF Failure

CSO_Krust says:
@ *Alar* Commander: I believe we can blast thru the ice and achieve orbit with impulse.  With your permission we will proceed

TACSturek says:
CO: Minor damage......they are holding position and firing

Host Dave says:
ACTION:  WITH A LOUD CLANG...BLAST DOORS FALL INTO PLACE ON THE BRIDGE....SEALING IT OFF

CSO_Krust says:
@ *Alar* Wait, without IDF, we will be squashed

Host CO_Love says:
FCO: Bring us about for another attack run..

TACSturek says:
CO: We're knocking em down captain... Raider Beta Disabled

CEO_Alar says:
@Krust: Yes...I know. ::she keeps working on the comm, almost frantically now.::

EOMallory says:
::pushes some more buttons::

CEO_Alar says:
@::she complete's the last bit of the repair....she thinks:: Computer: Is the comm working now?

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: stand by

Host CO_Love says:
TAC: Excellent..!!  Target the next victim..

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: Aye

Host Dave says:
@  Alar:  I detect that the relays are still down...

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: can you bring the IDF back online?

@ Alar/Bridge:  We have struck the bottom...

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: Done

Host Dave says:
@  Alar/Bridge:  Hull integrity intact

FCO_Braun says:
:: disengages Raider Beta, finds a new Raider to traget ::

CEO_Alar says:
@Computer: How much farther have we sunk? Where is the surface?

TACSturek says:
::inticates Raider Gamma on screen:: FCO: Bring us around to Raider Gamma

Host Dave says:
@  Alar:  WE are approximiately 2500m below the surface

FCO_Braun says:
TAC:  Beginning attack run on traget designet Raider Gamma

Host Dave says:
@  Alar:  Hull integrity at 100%

CTO_Terr says:
@CSO: If we fire and shoot impulse up to full, we will be clear in seconds

CEO_Alar says:
@::she closes her eyes:: Oh good. At least that hasn't failed.

EOMallory says:
::saves his probe schematics for use another day::

CSO_Krust says:
@ *Alar* Commander: Hold on, here we go

FCO_Braun says:
TAC:  I will be bring you in just below her port side...

CSO_Krust says:
@ CTO: get ready to fire on my mark 

CEO_Alar says:
@Krust; Acknowledged.

DrHaley says:
MO: Good.

FCO_Braun says:
:: nearing Raider Gamma ::

CSO_Krust says:
