FROM: Admiral William Crenshaw, Starfleet Command
DATE 10112.01

Captain,
    This is a test scramble of your fleet, You will take up emergency preparedness station, Bravo Delta 9 Zeta, and await further orders and maintain patrol. You will note it's proximity to the Galactic Core end of the Klingon border. Be advised that severe Ion Storms have been noted in the region of late.

A number of crates of power generation gear will also be placed aboard your craft for delivery to Starbase 421, which is in your patrol area. Said Station has need of this gear as the aforesaid Ion Storms have caused failures in their present systems.

Mission Briefing

To: All Senior Staff and Assistants, I.K.S. QIb
CC: Commander Ronald Friday, Executive Officer, I.K.S. QIb
From: Captain Charles Vaughn Turner II, Commanding Officer, I.K.S. QIb
Subject:  Mission Briefing
Stardate: 10112.01

Starfleet has called for a test scramble of our fleet. The QIb has been ordered to take up emergency preparedness station, Bravo Delta 9 Zeta while awaiting further orders and patrolling that sector.
We are to be mindful of its proximity to the Klingon border and the Galactic Core. Also there have been severe Ion Storms in this region lately.
We have received a number of power generation equipment for delivery to Starbase 421, which is in our patrol area, as well. The Starbase is in bad need of this equipment to contest with the ion storms just mentioned. Your orders are as follows:

XO: Commander Friday, make sure all crew is at the ready and all hands have reported to duty stations. Report any problems to me immediately.

FCO: Lt. Ranahi, maintain our normal patrol pattern but be ready for evasive and defensive manoeuvres at anytime.

CSO: Lt. Yamamoto, keep an eye on the Galactic Core and its affects on our systems.

SO: Lt. Lorenzo, scan for ion storms and transmit any information to the conn as to how they might affect our patrol pattern and to Commander Friday and Lt. Commander Q'Tor as to how they might affect the ships performance in general.

CEO: Lt. Commander Q'Tor, I need you to monitor the ships systems and inform me of any troubles we may be having as a direct result for either the Galactic Core or ion storms. Also take an inventory of all equipment bound for Starbase 421. Have Mr. Walker help you if necessary.

CTO: Lt. Augustus, I need you to keep and eye out for any Klingon ships in the area. Even though we are presently on friendly terms with the Klingon Empire I want to avoid any surprises on both sides. Also keep an eye out for hostiles in the area.

CMO: Lt. Kymar, please be ready for any medical emergencies due to this new turn of events.

CIV: Mr. Walker, please take up the OPS station in the absence of Lt. Commander Mayfair and maintain proper flow of power and ships resources as well as personnel. And assist Lt. Commander Q'Tor as needed.

Thank you, that is all.

Captain C. V. Turner
Commanding Officer

CMO_Kymar says:
::adjusts the phaser pistol behind his lab coat and walks out of his office and into sickbay::

XO_Friday says:
::on the bridge, in his chair, playing with things on the side of it, waiting for something to happen nervously::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::walks out of Science Lab 1 after having secured all workstations and strapped down all fragile experiments::

XO_Friday says:
All: All stations report.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Captain, suggest we go Yellow alert, and cloak as soon as possible

CIV_Walker says:
::leaning on the Ops console, pretty pleased with himself about being assigned to a bridge station::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Exits the TL and enters the bridge in quiet contemplation of the mission at hand::

CMO_Kymar says:
*XO*: Sickbay is reporting all systems are go, Sir

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Weapons, and cloaking device are ready amd standing by

SO_Lorenzo says:
::makes her way to the bridge::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hears the CTO as soon as he enters:: CTO: Stand down yellow alert but the cloak isn't a bad idea. Engage it. ::Walks to the center of the bridge::

Starbase OPS says:
%COMM: QIb: The Gear has been beamed into your cargobay #3. Have a good trip

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Science department is ready Sir.  ::she says as she enters the bridge::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir, however, we are heading to an area with ion storms it is standard procedure to be at Yellow alert

Duty FCO says:
XO: We have clearances  and are ready to depart

CIV_Walker says:
XO: Powerflow in nominal, all systems are showing green. Starbase reports the cargo has been loaded and we are go for launch.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::takes her seat at SCI II and begins to access the sensor controls::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: We haven't detected any but if we do then go to yellow.

XO_Friday says:
FCO: Take us out ensign, slow and steady.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye, cloaking device is ready to be engaged in 1 inute or as soon as we have proper distance from station

SO_Lorenzo says:
::calibrates the sensor pallets to detect ion storm levels::

CMO_Kymar says:
::talking with the Doctor on duty he hands him the duty roster and sets him about his duties::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Adjust a secondary scanner for detection of ion storm as well::

CIV_Walker says:
::looks around, kind of nervous about making his first suggestion:: CO: Captain, I would recommend against using the Cloak in any proximaty to an ion storm.

Duty FCO says:
::unlatches the docking clamps and umbilicals and heads out at 1/8th impulse ::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Tactical, and Engineering reporting all hands present and accounted for and standing by

XO_Friday says:
CTO: Excellent. ::watches out the viewscreen as the QIb pulls out::

Duty FCO says:
XO:  Ready to rotate and go to warp

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: This whole cloak thing is still a little new to me. Would an ion storm cause a problem in combonation with a cloak?

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns from the viewer and sits in the center seat::

SO_Lorenzo says:
*SO_K'eri* Prepare a pair of Class IV Stellar Encounter probe for future use.  I want to be prepared for any eventuality.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Power allcation sir, would be a serious drain and besides we have no shields when it is activated

CIV_Walker says:
CO: Well, while we have the cloak up we have no shields. If we were struck by an arc from the storm, we would be fried like a potato.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: 30 seconds before cloak is enabled sir

XO_Friday says:
::once the QIb clears the starbase:: FCO: Ok ensign, set course, you have the coordinates. Warp 8.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::smiles at Walker's description::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO/CIV: I see........::Rubs chin::..........hadn't counted on that. Maintain the cloak unless we detect a storm then.

Duty FCO says:
XO: Aye, sir ::initiates warp ::

CIV_Walker says:
::puts an eye on power distribution and EPS Manifold status as the ship enteres warp::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO/CIV: Good thinking gentlemen.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: I have ordered that all tubes be armed and ready, less than 5 seconds to put torpedoes in and fire solution obtained

CIV_Walker says:
::Smiles, glancing over at the CTO and then looks back down at his console::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::sets long range sensors to detect the ion storms as well as their proximity to the galactic core::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Also something that I might put out sir?

XO_Friday says:
CTO: Excellent, keep them at the ready.

Duty FCO says:
CO: eta approximately 35 Minutes at this warp

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Aye sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Now that we're underway, did all departments report 100%?

XO_Friday says:
CO: Yes sir, everyone is ready to go

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: We are heading toward the Galactic core, it also puts us at the Klingon border, meaning we won't be able to track the Klingons nor them us when cloaked

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: However, they will not be able to use their cloaks in ion storms either

SO_Lorenzo says:
::her hands fly steadily over the lit up console... her head moving from side to side, monitoring the various screens before her::

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks back into his office and reads his mission orders from his terminal:: Self: ::whispering:: Always, stand by for casualties ::mutters and sits down at his desk::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: There is also the scuttlebutt about the old Klingon prophecy

CTO_Augustus says:
::Engages cloaking device::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Oh? ::Raises an eyebrow in almost Vulcan fashion::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: Cloaking device engaged

XO_Friday says:
::turns around:: CTO: I never heard anything about a Klingon legend?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::keeps her eyes on the ion detection screen...::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Taps a console while turning his chair towards the CTO::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Your not engaged to a Klingon

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Yes, all the klingons could talk about at that Starbase was the prophecy.

XO_Friday says:
CTO: True...what was the rumour?

CTO_Augustus says:
ALL: Well, something to do with finding a bunch of old text, they are letting almost anyone back in to the service of the Empire

CTO_Augustus says:
ALL: It is something about the Klingon race taking control of the universe

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Why is that?

CTO_Augustus says:
::continues his scans:;

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Perks up a bit more and sits up::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: The prophecy of blood seems to be very real to the Empire if they are letting in dishonored klingons.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Well, they need everyone looking for these scrolls.  Even people of questionable honor, if you know what I mean

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Long range sensors are detecting ion storms in the distance Sir.... and something else

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO/SO: Do either of you have any more details on this prophecy?

XO_Friday says:
::spins his chair around to look at Lorenzo:: SO: Elaborate.

Duty FCO says:
XO: Entering  patrol sector, sir

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I think we need to talk to the CEO and right now is not the time

SO_Lorenzo says:
::recalibrates sensors to target the area in question::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hears the SO:: CTO: You heard the lady. Lets go to plan "B".

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: I will talk with jaHnor this evening for more infoormation

XO_Friday says:
FCO: Adjust course to bring us to the starbase, maintain speed.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: You're right. ::Taps commbadge::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: I'm reading a level 5 ion storm, not too bad.

XO_Friday says:
SO: What was the other thing though?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::attempts to scan the other anamolous reading::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I suggest Yellow Alert we are in the patrol sector know

Host Captain_Turner says:
CO: That's plan "B" Lt. ::Grins::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: It appears to be a Bird of Prey Sir.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO/XO: I have some on the edge of long range sensor enhancing now

XO_Friday says:
SO: Have they seen us yet?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Not yet

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Decides not to disturb Q'Tor and severs the comm link:: CTO: Talk to Q'Tor or your fiance as soon as possible.

CIV_Walker says:
CO: Perhaps we should switch to active sensors to scan the bird of prey?

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: It is dead in the water, no movement scanning

SO_Lorenzo says:
::targets sensors to the other ships systems::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir, recommend Yellow alert, suggest we hail them

XO_Friday says:
::considers their situation for a minute:: FCO: ETA to the starbase?

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Confirmed, they are not functioning.

XO_Friday says:
CO: Suggest we drop off our cargo first sir.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Life support is failing on her sir

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: No power to their systems.

Duty FCO says:
XO: Current estimate is 20 Minutes

XO_Friday says:
SO/CTO: Life signs?

CIV_Walker says:
XO: We are obligated to assist by your starfleet General Orders.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: No sir they are losing life support

SO_Lorenzo says:
::checks life signs::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Disengage the cloak and go to yellow. ::Why doesn't any one get plan "B"? Turner thinks to himself. Oh well I thought it was funny::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: Counting 22 life signs Sir.

CTO_Augustus says:
::acivates yellow alert::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Drop it off where?

XO_Friday says:
CO: Starbase 421 sir.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: Try to hail them.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: They are failing 22 life signs Klingon, but 3 or almost gone now

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: They need our assistance now Sir.  They won't last much longer... life signs are reading faint.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: I don't think we'll have time for that. How close are we to the Starbase?

XO_Friday says:
CO: Still 20 minutes sir, if we don't increase our speed.

XO_Friday says:
CO: There is another option sir. We could give the supplies to the Challenger, and the QIb could go after the Klingons.

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: Assemble a team and take the challenger to assist them. We'll stay on route to the Starbase.

CTO_Augustus says:
*CMO*: Doc we have Klingons in need you might want to get sickbay ready

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at the CO::

CMO_Kymar says:
*CTO*: Sickbay is ready, beam them over whenever your ready

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Skipper I do not recommend that course of action

XO_Friday says:
CO: Aye sir. ::points to Augustus for him to accompany:: *CMO*: Mr Dremel, meet us in shuttlebay one in 2 minutes, we're going to save some Klingons.

XO_Friday says:
::gets in the TL and waits for Augustus before ordering the shuttlebay::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO/XO: Hold up.

CMO_Kymar says:
:;shrugs:: *XO*: Im on my way now Sir

XO_Friday says:
::pauses and looks at the CO::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::keeping an eye on the ion storms in the distance... knowing a level 7 ion storm will damage a shuttle craft::

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: Sir, I can not do so I must point out two minor things 1) The Klingons are in need of med bay, and 2) we are at a Fleet wide alert send a shuttle with the supplies

CMO_Kymar says:
::checks his phaser pistol is there, grabs a medkit and holsters a Med Tricorder before heading into a TL:; TL: Shuttlebay 1

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ Captain: KonRoth! a ship! there is a ship close! ::tries to filter the signal from the failing sensors::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::lying underneath the engineering station on the Bridge of the VkRoin, an array of various tools scattered about the floor around him::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: I may need Mr. Augustus at tactical. The Klingon ship seems out of danger.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Do you detect any signs of battle?

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@Capt: It's just no use! Life support systrems are continuing to deteriorate!

XO_Friday says:
CO: Understood.

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@::aboard the Vk'Roin:: Vk`Roin Ops: Hail the other vessel, for assistance. Repeat hails.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::slams his fist on the nearest console::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@*Vk'Roin Eng" Progress report!

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO/CO: Sensors show the ship was hit by an ion storm.

XO_Friday says:
CO: Would you have objections to me taking Mr Walker then?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: No sir looks like an ion storm did the damage, meaning possible burn victims

CMO_Kymar says:
::the TL stops and he gets off to an empty shuttlebay::

Host Captain_Turner says:
XO: You read my mind Commander. ::Grins:: Now get outta here.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@Capt: I am unable to repair our life support systems... without the computer I can't calculate exactly how much energy we have left, but it's not enough... we don't have long...

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: yah.. ::beats the console and then begins the hail::  COM: any ship: Emergency assistance required!

XO_Friday says:
CIV: Come on Mr Walker.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::wipes a bead of sweat off the ridges on his face::

CIV_Walker says:
CO: Incoming Distress Signal from the Klingon Vessel, sir.

XO_Friday says:
*CMO*: Doctor, prep the Challenger to launch, we'll be there in a minute.

CTO_Augustus says:
::scans the vessel again::

CMO_Kymar says:
*XO*: Sure thing Commander ::boards the Challenger and sits down at the controls::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::contemplates singing a song what decides against it, considering the captain's current mood::

SO_Lorenzo says:
XO: They're failing Sir.  I'd put a rush on your exit.

XO_Friday says:
::waits for Walker before heading down to the SB:: CO: Good luck Captain.

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@*Onarak* Keep working on it.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I recommend we stay together Doc is going to need teh med bay to care for them, and their computer system is offline

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ ::sets the signal to repeat and hopes the communications array is powerfully enough to get the signal out.. growls at this not being a very klingon thing to do.. but she can not let the captain survive alone and contenue the quest for the keys::

CIV_Walker says:
::Follows Friday off the bridge, logging off the console:: Bye.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I'm sure the Challenger can handle it.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: In addition I do not think Challenger can hold up to a level 7 Ion storm and it has increased from a level 5 in ten minutes sir

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@Ops: Any response yet? ::almost growling::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir

XO_Friday says:
::the TL rushes down to the shuttlebay and deposits them there. Friday rushes over and climbs into the Challenger:: CMO: Hiya Doc. Ready to go?

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: no..

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::glares at his computer console, willing it to work::

CMO_Kymar says:
#::tapping out a few commands on his console he starts prepping the Challenger for launch::

CTO_Augustus says:
*CMO*: Doc this is Augustus, take your weapon systems offline and use their power for additional shields

CMO_Kymar says:
XO: Aye sir, Challenger is ready to depart

XO_Friday says:
CMO: Take us out.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: We may not get a response.. our communications array was fried..

CMO_Kymar says:
*CTO*: Aye aye ::allocates the power from weapons to shields::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::looks back at the ion storms detected... and hopes they dont increase in level::

XO_Friday says:
::turns to Lucas:: CIV: Do you have any medical training at all?

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: And if an ion storm hits I guess they'll just have to high tail it outta there.

CMO_Kymar says:
# COMM: QIb Shuttleguy: Open the Bay Doors please ::turns the challenger in the direction of the doors::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::in a gutteral voice:: CO: Still no prgress, I am going to engineering. ::turns around and strides off the bridge and into one of the access conduits linking the bridge to the rest of the ship::

CIV_Walker says:
# ::climbs into the challenger and takes a seat, buckling up while the XO asks:: XO: None.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir, we are 17 minutes from station, 20 minutes to off load supplies and 20 more to get back, I hope that ion storm doesn't increassse anymore

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Sir I'm detecting trouble with the core of the Bird of Prey.

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@::acknowledges the Engineer's exit, and turns to Ops:: Ops: That is a Federation vessel out there, you said?

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Core breach imminent in the Klingon vessel 4 minutes

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Understood.

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: Ok. Once we get there, you get life support back online as fast as possible.

CTO_Augustus says:
*XO*: Sir core breach four minutes on the klingon vessel

CIV_Walker says:
#XO: Ok.

CMO_Kymar says:
#::taking a deep breath he steadily pilots the Challenger out of the open doors and heads out for the direction of the Bird of Prey::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::clambers along trough the conduits, stopping several times to figure out where he is, before he slides through a hatch and lands in engineering::

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Put a little more pedal to the metal there Ensign.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: No I said it was a ship.. I can't tell you want kind.. it could be borg for all I know!

CIV_Walker says:
#::Checks his safety harness::

XO_Friday says:
# CMO: ETA?

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: XO: The Bird of Prey will have a core breach in 4 minutes Sir.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::stops at the main diagnostic console, wiping soot and ashes from it's surface in order to see the readouts. A look of pure fear strickens his face::

CMO_Kymar says:
#XO: ETA is 1 minute sir

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@*Bridge*: Argh! Captain, the core is going!

XO_Friday says:
# COMM: SO: Understood Lieutenant. ::looks at Kymar::

Duty FCO says:
::Prepares to go to warp  9.92::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Continue or act as a shield for them sir

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: Change of plans. We're beaming them out of there as soon as we arrive.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::thinks they should just start beaming the klingons to the challenger::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I do not think that the Challenger will be able to put enough distance between them and the core breach

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::flails the console with his fists before turning to the nearest engineer, shoving him into the corridor outside main engineering:: Engineer: Evacuate this deck!

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@*Onarok* Acknowledged; get out of there!

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: we will die with out honor.. true warriors do not cry for help..

CIV_Walker says:
#::Grimaces at the thought of the core going critical:: XO: We can't evacuate the entire Klingon complement to the Challenger, there simply isn't room.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::climbs back into the tunnels he'd emerged from just moments before and pulls the hatch closed behind him::

CMO_Kymar says:
#::speeds the Challenger up a bit:: XO: We are within transporter range, Sir

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@Ops: Begin evacuating all personnel into available lfe pods!

XO_Friday says:
# COMM: VkRoin: This is the Federation shuttlecraft Challenger. We are going to try and evacuate your ship, prepare for beamout.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ ::sneers and sounds abandon ship::

CIV_Walker says:
#::Looks at the XO:: XO: Perhaps you should set up atmospheric scrubbers while I try to help dump or stablise their core.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::gets half way back to the bridge before he stops at a console to errect a forcefield around the engineering compartment::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@OPS: We cannot complete our mission if we are dead. We will not die here, and we will prevail.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Shakes his head::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@*Bridge*: I'm attempting to dump the warp core... ::punches furiously at a series of controls::

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: it seems the Gods.. have other ideas for us

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: We won't be able to get them far enough away before it goes critical. ::pauses:: Get as many of them as you can. Pack the Challenger.

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Contact Commander Friday and see if the Klingon crew can be beamed here.

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@Ops: We make our own destiny. The gods cannot control it.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns.. watching the life signs on her sensors::

CMO_Kymar says:
#:;gets as close as he can to the Bird of Prey:: CIV: I woould suggest you start transporting them now...

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Slow to warp 6 and adjust course back to the Challenger.

XO_Friday says:
# CMO: How long will we need to get out of here to a safe distance?

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@Ops: Kahless himself defeated the gods. They control no destiny of a Klingon. Now, abandon ship.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::continues to pluck at the controls before giving up and slamming the hatch over the computer screen closed::

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@CO: you say this and yet you seek their blood.. shildren stories! bah!

Duty FCO says:
CO: Aye, sir

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: Assist me with trying to enlarge our shield displacement

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: recommend Red alert

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::clambers desperately through the tunnels, smacking his ridged head on the bulkhead several times::

Duty FCO says:
CO: Eta: 30 Seconds

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Sir... warp 6?

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@*Onarok* We've sounded abandon ship. Get yourself and your staff to the lifepods.

CIV_Walker says:
#::Starts with the transporters, trying to get as many locks at once as possible:: XO: What if we extend our shields as far as we can and block as much of the explosion as possible?

CTO_Augustus says:
::works on the shield displacement and enlarging the shield bubble::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: Go to red and have the Challenger get back here with as many Klingons as we can.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::looks at the CTO, then nods::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::doesn't bother to acknowledge Kronoth as he clambers through the hatch and back onto the Bridge::

CMO_Kymar says:
#XO: At Maximum Warp it would take only a few seconds, Commander

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@::stands on the bridge, watching as lifepods begin ejecting::

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: The Challenger would never survive, and neither would the Klingons.

Host Captain_Turner says:
SO: Prepare to beam the remaining Klingon compliment aboard.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: Internal sensors are only registering 15.. no 12 lifeforms in the pods..

Duty FCO says:
CO: Shall I prepare to go to max Warp ?

XO_Friday says:
# CMO: Set a course out of here, engage at the last moment possible. Don't wait for my order.

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Do it.

CIV_Walker says:
#::looks at sensors:: XO: It appears the Klingon ships lifepods are powering up, looks like they're abandoning.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::stands in between the captain and ops officer, watching the lifepods streak into the distance, becoming impossible to differentiate between distant stars::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::works to assess their shields and calibrate them to the impending core breech::

CMO_Kymar says:
#XO: Course plotted

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@ CO: all livining crew are away..

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I can extend our shield bubble by about a half of a klick that is all

Duty FCO says:
CO: I sugest we also beam aboard the crew of the challenger in the flyby as well as the Klingons

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: Beam them out of their life pods, there's no way they'll get far enough away with them.

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I concur with that sir

Host Captain_Turner says:
SO: Be precise we'll have to do a beam out at warp speed. Its tricky. Can you handle it?

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@Capt: I think I can get enough juice to transport us to the remaining life pods... give me a minute...

CMO_Kymar says:
#::activates the Warp Drive and prepares to engage::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Aye.

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO/CTO: You read my mind boys. ::Grins::

XO_Friday says:
# ::looks into the back as Klingon's materialize, obviously disoritented::

CTO_Augustus says:
*XO*: Sir we are coming back and will be doing a warp transport so be prepared

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@Eng: Do it. We don't have a minute.

Duty FCO says:
CO: ETA 15 Seconds

SO_Lorenzo says:
::accesses their transporters and locks onto the crew as well as the klingons::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::desperately punches the controls on the panel, allowing blood and sweat to run together and drip onto the panel::

CIV_Walker says:
#XO: Ok... ::Shakes head, beaming the Klingons to the Challenger:: ... maybe we should at least try to contain the explosion, give the remaining Klingons in their pods a chance.

XO_Friday says:
# COMM: CTO: Get the Klingons, we can handle ourselves.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
@:: thinks the engineer has gone mad in the heat::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@Capt/Ops: Stand by... ::presses his fingers over the slide bars controlling the transporter matrix::

CTO_Augustus says:
*XO*: Sir, if you can try and transport their computer core out

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
@::remains stoic in the face of impending death::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Looks at the CO:

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Skipper they may have info we need on that prophecy

XO_Friday says:
# COMM: CTO: We're worried more about the Klingon's themselves lieutenant. Get the ones we're missing, leave us.

XO_Friday says:
# CMO: Time?

As the QIb passes the Bird of Prey the crew are beamed aboard

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
@::the bridge dematerializes around him::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::...and he finds himself in an alien environment::

CMO_Kymar says:
#XO: Not enough! ::engages the warp drives::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: The Klingons are onboard Sir.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::grabs for a blade at her side and looks around the ship::

XO_Friday says:
# ::watches out the window as the Challenger takes off, and he collapses back in his seat:: CIV: How many did we get?

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::materializes, and blinks for a moment, before regaining composure, and looks around::

Host Captain_Turner says:
SO: Try to grab the Challenger and transport it to the shuttlebay if the buffers can handle it.

Duty FCO says:
CO: Max warp , Captain,  readjusting course back towards the station

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: I suggest security be sent to the transporter rooms... ::grins::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::stumbles and almost falls, leans on Jano'Gah::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::once he has regained his balance, shoves her away and stands tall::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Security guards are in the area of the Klingon beam in point::

Host Captain_Turner says:
SO: Belay that.

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::steps off the transporter pad and looks around:: All: It appears that we've been rescued by our own; this is a Klingon vessel.

Host Captain_Turner says:
All: Looks like they can make it out.

CIV_Walker says:
#::Works at the Transporter console:: XO: One Sec ::Rematerialises the last set of Klingons he could get from the buffer::

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::pushes the Engineer tot he floor:: ENG: fool! you may yet have dammed us!

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::eyes the security guards suspiciously, his hand already drifted towards the ceremonial dagger on his belt:: Capt: Then who are these?

In the distance behind the QIb the Bird of Prey comes to a firey death as the Core errupts into a massive explosion

CMO_Kymar says:
#XO: Sir, I suggest we ask the QIb to meet us at the Station

XO_Friday says:
# ::nods:: CMO: Do it.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::stumbles again as the explosion buffets the deck of the ship, taking Jano with him::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir, Med Crews are attending to the Klingons

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Feels the shock of the core breach::

Duty FCO says:
CO: The  Challenger could rendevous with us in 2 minutes, sir

XO_Friday says:
# ::gets thrown forward as the shockwave overtakes the Challenger::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::studies the security guards, and grins, holding out a hand in restraint towards his officers, then stumbles as the shock hits::

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::falls over Onarok::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::knocks the hand of a security officer who offers it to him away and gets up on his own::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::hold onto her console and checks the life signs onboard::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::growls::

Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Understood. Have the shuttlebay ready for them.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CO: We have 15 of the Klingon crew sir. The Challenger got the other 7.

Duty FCO says:
CO: Aye, sir

CMO_Kymar says:
#::nods:: COMM: QIb: IKS QIb, this is the Challenger. We have set course for the Station and are heading there at Maximum Warp

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO/SO: Understood. Good work.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::stands up and looks where the ENG's balde cut her leg when she fell on him.. growls at the ENG::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::gets back to monitoring the ion storms::

CIV_Walker says:
#::Jerks around in his seat from the shockwave, sitting right back in it, glad he buckled up::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::squints his eyes and returns the gutteral growl::

CMO_Kymar says:
#::gets thrown forward slightly as the shockwave hits the Challenger::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO:Recommend I greet our friends

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::recovers his standing, and turns to the QIb officers:: All: It's about time you beamed us out of there. What is this ship? ::gestures around them:: It is Klingon, yet manned by Federation?

Duty FCO says:
COMM: Challenger: we await your return , you are much on the same course as us,  we have the cargobay open for you

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Stands slowly:: CTO: I suppose so Lt.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::peers curiously at the security personnel::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: You're with me.

Host Captain_Turner says:
SO: You have the bridge.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Stands up and heads to the TL::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Aye sir

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::looks up at the mention of the federation and stands.. lettign the blood hit the floor freely::

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Heads to the TL::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::shakes his head:: Capt: What is the meaning of this security detail? Are we not all friends here?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::wonders if the Bird of Prey was part of the Empire... or one of the dishonored ships trying to prove themselves again::

CTO_Augustus says:
::adjust his dk`tagh so as it is shown on his right hip opposite of his phaser::

CIV_Walker says:
#XO: We have only about 7 visitors, the QIb purged us of the rest.

XO_Friday says:
# ::once the ride smoothes out, he gets up and heads back to where the Klingon's were beamed:: Klingons: Welcome aboard the Federation Shuttlecraft Challenger. ::looks at one in particular, lying down, inured badly:: CMO: Doc, we need you back here.

CMO_Kymar says:
#COMM: QIb: Thank you, QIb. We will slow down and let you catch up to us. Challenger out

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
Onarok: Be still; all will come clear, I am sure. Security is a standard precaution in the federation, I am sure.

CTO_Augustus says:
::pulls out the Family Creast of Qtors' and puts it on below his comm badge::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::keeps her eyes on the bridge systems::

The QIb soon catches up and is slightly ahead of the Challenger

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Enters the TL::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::it takes no small amount of restraint, but he rights himself and moves to stand to the left of the captain::

CMO_Kymar says:
#::hears the XO and picks up his Med Kit before heading back to the injured Klingon::

CTO_Augustus says:
::follows the Captain::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::decides to take matters into his own hands, and strides toward the door::

Host Captain_Turner says:
TL: Transporter room 2.

SO_Lorenzo says:
COMM: Challenger: XO: Pretty close Commander.

CMO_Kymar says:
#XO: Someone should dock the Challenger, Sir ::kneeling down he scans the Klingon and opens his Med Kit::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::brushes past the security guards in his way::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: Sir they might be slightly hostile it is to be expected

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::watches Konroth curiously and then follows::

XO_Friday says:
# ::motions for Walker to take the Conn::

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::limps down off the transporter pad and waits bear the console and the TR chief.. holding the leg thats bleeding::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::can't resist but to shoulder one of the security guards aside::

CTO_Augustus says:
CO: I mean after all you just robbed them of a glorious death

CTO_Augustus says:
::A Klingon Security Officer comes in standing by the door::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::stops, and looks the Klingon Security Officer up and down; then pushes past him toward the doorway, without speaking::

Host Captain_Turner says:
CTO: I saved them from a death of cowards by a stupid ion storm. Lets hope they're grateful to live to die as heros some day. ::Thinks "That sounded a bit wierd" shrugs::

Duty FCO says:
::Slows the QIb to match speeds::

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::looks at the Klingon and smirks:: They already left..

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::follows his Klingon captain like a puppy dog. A big, mean, ugly puppy dog::

Krious says:
VkRoin_ENG: At ease ENG

CIV_Walker says:
#::Looks at the XO, not quite understanding the 'motioning'::

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::don't forget a smelly puppy dog::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::that too::

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: Take the helm Mr Walker.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::turns sharply and glares at the Federation security officer::

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: And bring us back to the QIb. I assume you can dock a shuttle?

CTO_Augustus says:
::Steps off TL with the Captain::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::stands up and walks over to stand behind the FCO, eyeing their viewscreen::

CTO_Augustus says:
VkRoin CO: Where are you going?

CIV_Walker says:
#XO: Actually... ::Pauses, grimacing:: I never learnt to fly...

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::steps in between the CTO and his captain, his hands balling into fists::

XO_Friday says:
# CIV: Ok...:;sits down at the helm:: Watch and learn, might come in handy one day.

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::remembers what the captain said about controlling himself and unclenches one hand::

SO_Lorenzo says:
FCO: Once the Challenger has docked get us back to warp 8.  We're needed at that Starbase.

VkRoin-OPS_Jano`Gah says:
::passes otu from blood lose::

Duty FCO says:
SO: Aye

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Steps off the TL::

CTO_Augustus says:
::looking at the ENG:: VkRoin ENG: I wouldnt

CIV_Walker says:
# ::Unbuckles and sits next to Friday to watch::

XO_Friday says:
# ::inputs some controls, bringing the Challenger around, and slows down till they've matched speeds with the QIb, then brings it in easily::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::stops, and looks at the CTO:: CTO: We were in search of the commanders of this vessel. ::studies the CTO and the CO, and puts up a restraining hand toward ENG::

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
CTO: I'm not you.

CTO_Augustus says:
CPT: You found him Captain Turner

VkRoin_ENG_Onarok says:
::takes one step back but his eyes remain locked on the CTO::

VkRoin_Cpt_Konroth says:
::sees the captain, and nods:: CO: You are responsible for our rescue?

All over the ship, and in the Challenger, the Omega symbol flashes on every console

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Sees the Omega symbol:: Self: Oh sh...........
