Admiral Savek, Captain Turner and Dr. Tigs Ravenprowler are on their way to meet the QIb in the Yretsym system in sector 86.

CIV_Walker says:
::Sat in Engineering, slouched over a console in a daydream::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::sitting in the big chair on the bridge, watching the stars streak by out the viewscreen:: FCO: ETA to the Yretsym system Ms Meyi?

CMO_Kymar says:
::yawns tiredly, fingering the chain and claw around his neck while he waits for the CTO to come for his physical::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::In main Engineering:: EO_Ram: Ensign, my duties require me to be on the bridge. That leaves you in charge of Engineering. Upon my return I expect to find it in the same condition as it is right now.

CTO_Augustus says:
::at post on the bridge watching long range scanners::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::leaves ME and heads to the TL:: TL: Main Bridge

SO_Lorenzo says:
::on the bridge at SCI II.. accessing sensors::

FCO_Meyi says:
ACO: 5 minutes sir.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: Check Neutrino and tachyon sensor arrays.  I want a clear picture of what is going on.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: Aye Chief.

AXO_Q`tor says:
::steps onto the bridge and looks around before heading over to the XO's chair::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Sir, I have nothing on LRS as of yet ::stretches::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::calibrates sensors to detect neutrino and tachyon particles::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Good good..let's hope it stays that way.

CTO_Augustus says:
XO: What are we looking for anyway sir?

Host Captain_Turner says:
%::Sits in the shuttle with Admiral Savek ready for rendevous with the QIb::

Host Savek says:
%::piloting the courier craft to the rendevous with the I.K.S. QIb ::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::sits in chair and looks down around him, and then at ACO: ACO: These chairs are too soft. How do you and the Captain manage not to fall asleep?

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: The cause of the anomalies. I think.

Host Savek says:
%CO: Captain: Why not raise the ship and see if they are ready for us to come aboard? We are about 3 out.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::overhears the AXO and grins::

CMO_Kymar says:
*CTO*: You are 15 minutes late for your physical Mr. Augustus. I assumed timing was crucial at the tactical station. Please report to sickbay immediatly

Host ACO_Friday says:
AXO: It's an acquired skill. ::grins::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::grumbles to self::

CTO_Augustus says:
::listens at the comm from the Doctor, shaking his head::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Sir what do you want me to do?

CIV_Walker says:
::Decides to exit Engineering, having nothing to do there but yawn, going for a Turbolift::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Fifteen minutes late...you'd better get down there.

CTO_Augustus says:
::taps Comm Badge:

CTO_Augustus says:
*CMO*: I am on my way

SO_Lorenzo says:
::getting nothing yet on sensors she widens their reach::

CMO_Kymar says:
*CTO*: Acknowledged, Kymar out

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Sir we have a courier shuttle coming toward us

CMO_Kymar says:
::yawns and readies his equipment::

CIV_Walker says:
::Gets in a TL at the stop just outside of Engineering:: TL: Deck one.

CTO_Augustus says:
::stands and leaves the bridge::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Moments later walks into the Qib's med center::

The QIb enters they Yretsym system.

CTO_Augustus says:
CMO: Hey Doc, you don't have the best timing with this::smiles::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::turns to Q`tor:: AXO: Take OPS for now please, that should be the Captain.

AXO_Q`tor says:
CSO: Anything out of the ordinary Lieutenant?

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Walks around with a slight gimp, making him look tough and mean but not as mean and tough as he really is.  Walks to his Flight Control chair and punches away at the controls.:: ALL: Still nothing on sensors yet. ::Sits there grumbling to himself.  Then looks to the other Mercenaries.::

FCO_Meyi says:
ACO: Entering the Yretsym system now sir. ::slows to impulse::

CMO_Kymar says:
CTO: ::grins:: I assumed it was you who had the bad timing. Please lie down Mr. Augustus and we can begin

CSO_Yamamoto says:
AXO Q'tor: Nothing yet sir.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::ignores any incoming ships and tries to concentrate on the system itself::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: Anything?

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Aye sir ::gets up and goes to OPS console::

Host Savek says:
%::Throttles the Courier back to match speeds with the QIb::

CTO_Augustus says:
::shakes his head and hops up on the bed, lying down as he does so::

Savek and Turner's courier craft enter the system also.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: Ok Mr Yamamoto, your one hour starts now.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: Not yet Sir.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::studies his panels in Engineering:: Self: We still need to repair the power conduits.

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Jumps in his seat.:: ALL: Get ready!  We've got something on sensors!  I think it's them!

Host Captain_Turner says:
%::Steps over to the transporter pad:: Savek: Ready to beam over sir.

CMO_Kymar says:
::pulls out his tricorder and begins his scans::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::looks over at Mek and yawns:: Mek: Well let's get this over with.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Aye sir ::chuckles::

Host Savek says:
%CO: Captain, I had best anounce I am transporting you over

CMO_Kymar says:
::places the tricorder in his belt and picks up a hypospray and injects it into Gladius::

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::mumbles to self:: More strain on the system. Bock fix this. Bock fix that.

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Sir, as soon as the courier is on board I suggest we go to yellow alert.

Mercenary_Mek says:
@Ardana: Well... Your the Captain...

CTO_Augustus says:
CMO: Hey, Doc you ever just get feelings about something and respond accordingly?  What was that?

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::checks the sensors to get a firm ID on the craft:: All: Yep, it's them.

Host Savek says:
%COMM: QIb: I am sending you  Captain Turner, Are you ready to receive?

Host ACO_Friday says:
AXO: Agreed.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: Friday is taking to his new position like he was born to it.  ::smiles::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO:  Calculate the best search pattern so we can give a good report to the good "Captain" in an hour.  ::smiles back::

CMO_Kymar says:
CTO: Thats was just somthing to make anomalies appear better on my sensors. I have to hurry these physicals today. What kind of feeling are you talking about?

Mercenary_Mek says:
@ Ardana: Moving into position. ::Taps on his controls and deftly flys their ship to interciept.::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::readies to raise the shields::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: Will do.

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Bock: Stand by..

Chaos-Chris says:
::Arrives on the bridge, reluctantly stepping off, glancing at Friday before walking up to the aft platform::

CMO_Kymar says:
::pushes a button and a scanner extends to encompass the CTO's body::

Host Captain_Turner says:
%::Stands on the transporter pad waiting::

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Ardana: Aye. ::mubbles::

AXO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Courier: Ready for transport

CTO_Augustus says:
CMO: You know it doesn't feel right so you act to counter react the possible out come

Host ACO_Friday says:
CIV: Nice of you to join us Mr Walker. ::frowns a bit::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Dathan: Ready Dathan? ::smiles::

Host Savek says:
%CO: There we go  ::hits the activation button::

CMO_Kymar says:
CTO: You mean instinct?

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Watches the sensors closely.:: ALL: Transport in progress!!

SO_Lorenzo says:
::inputting the information from the Yretsym that they do know, she extrapolates the best search pattern::

CTO_Augustus says:
CMO: Yes, I guess but not really

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Bock: Intercept that transport beam now!

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::reroutes power to ships engines and tactical systems::

Host Savek says:
%COMM: QIb : I am returning to base.

CMO_Kymar says:
CTO: Then yes, on many occasions I have had this feeling. It helps when fighting I guess. Why do you ask?

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Ardana: Aye ::intercepts beam::

CTO_Augustus says:
CMO: You know like when everyone thinks I have went crazy again, but the results of my actions seem logical after all

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Plots an attack course and gets ready to uncloak.:: ALL: Steady... Steady!

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::looks over her panel and giggles::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO:  Feed what you have to the FCO.  ACO: Search pattern calculated, sir.

A small vessel appears and intercepts the transporter beam with Captain Turner contained within.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: SIR!! Small vessel to port.

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Decloaks and comes upon the Qlb from behind.:: ALL: Now!!!

AXO_Q`tor says:
COMM: Courier: Courier, we are awaiting transport of the Captain

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::looks at Raski and scowls:: Raski: What's so funny?

CTO_Augustus says:
CMO: I am trying to expand my horizons and I keep feeling that I had better not suppress those instincts

CMO_Kymar says:
::the scanner emits a low hum for a few seconds before stopping:: CTO: I guess thats just part of your job

Mercenary_Dathan says:
@ ::fires topedos and phasers at the Qlb::

AXO_Q`tor says:
ALL: Red Alert!!!

SO_Lorenzo says:
::sends the information of the system to their FCO, and continues scanning::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO:  They were cloaked!

AXO_Q`tor says:
::activates shields::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::sits up:: AXO: Did we get the Captain?

CTO_Augustus says:
::hears the Klaxon and slaps his comm badge::

Host Savek says:
%COMM: QIb: I sent him already, you should have him...uh oh...

AXO_Q`tor says:
ALL: Incoming!!!!

Mercenary_Raski says:
@ ::shrugs and turns back to her console::

CMO_Kymar says:
CTO: You should never lose those instincts, they can be crucial

Host Savek says:
%::preforms evasives::

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Smiles with an extremely evil grin.:: Dathan: Great shot!  Keep it up. ::Manuvers their ship to another firing position.::

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::power conduit fails and reroutes power through secondary systems with no loss of control::

Host ACO_Friday says:
*CTO*: Augustus to the bridge!

CTO_Augustus says:
*AXO*: What's happening sir ::heads toward the hatch and TL at a run::

CMO_Kymar says:
::hears the klaxons and retracts the scanner before reading the information:: CTO: You're in perfect health, get to the bridge

SO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns and scans the now decloaked ship::

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Sir, it would appear that the Captain has been intercepted

Mercenary_Dathan says:
@:: Continues firing at the bridge of the federation ship.::

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Just the point I was trying to get to

CTO_Augustus says:
*ACO*: On my way

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Turns to Ardana.:: Ardana: Course layed it.  Just give me the order... ::Watches his sensors with a snicker.::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: Akira, don't lose that ship on sensors, if they get away it's your head.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Sself: Darn. Not another one. Dathan: Easy on the systems there.

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: All weapons report ready sir. Fire?

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Dathan: Keep pouring it on. Take out their engines.

Host Savek says:
%::goes to Warp 9.8 ::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Aye.  Tracking. We have minor damage to the port nacelle and minor buckling in power conduits feeding

CTO_Augustus says:
:arrives to the bridge and takes post reviewing scans and the threat board::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::nods to Q`tor::

Mercenary_Dathan says:
@:: Fires a specially prepared torpedo.::

CMO_Kymar says:
::sets his med crew to work, getting them to go around the ship to checking injuries::

CIV_Walker says:
::grabs a hold of the OPS console to steady himself as the ship shakes a bit::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Bringing tractor beam online

AXO_Q`tor says:
::fires disruptors::

CTO_Augustus says:
AXO: Sir every thing is ready including the cloak

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::is moving from engineering console to console trying to keep the ship together::

CMO_Kymar says:
::heads to his office and grabs his Phaser Pistol which he holsters then gets back out into main sickbay, Lab coat swishing behind him::

AXO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Lock onto their weapons systems and engines

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::Bock: Disable their tractors as well.

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Smiles and manuvers their ship away.::

CTO_Augustus says:
::Scans the vessel::

CTO_Augustus says:
AXO: Ready at your command

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO, CTO:  I have their plasma decay and warp signature.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Ardana: Aye.

CTO_Augustus says:
::makes final adjustments::

Mercenary_Raski says:
@Mek: Do I need to go check on the human?

The mercenaries torpedo makes a direct hit but the only damage is that it shuts down all the QIb's systems.

AXO_Q`tor says:
CTO: Fire Mr. Augustus!

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Mek: Well done, now make ready to go to warp.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Transfers the CSO's info to his console::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: We have lost power to all main systems.  Backup life support now online.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::transfers power to ships engines::

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Plots an evasive manuver and deftly manuvers their ship away.:: Raski: Yes!  Get the Doctor to assist.

CMO_Kymar says:
::the lights go off but dimly come back on when the Sickbay backup generator kicks in::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns at her malfunctioning sensors::

CTO_Augustus says:
ALL TO's: Prepare to repel boarders

Mercenary_Mek says:
@ Ardana: Aye! ::Takes one last evasive manuver and enters warp.::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@All: Let's go, maximum warp.

CIV_Walker says:
::looks iover the ops console:: ACO: Commander, we're losing systems. Weapons, Shields, Engines, IDF, SIF, Deflectors, all of them.

AXO_Q`tor says:
::notices the lights go out before being replaced with back up lighting::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO, AXO: Weapon passed through our shields.

Host ACO_Friday says:
::watches as everything goes dark, then back online:: CSO: You didn't lose them?!

AXO_Q`tor says:
CSO: What did they hit us with?

CMO_Kymar says:
D'oh: Wake up the rest of the Medical Personal, send them around for a deck-by-deck casualty report

CTO_Augustus says:
::reaches under the console pulling out anither phaser::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO:  Sensors are out sir.  Bringing up auxillaries.

MO_D`oh says:
::speaking gruffly:: Aye, Doctor

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Did you get a last look at that ship's systems?  Were they slowed down at all?

The mercenary ship disappears.

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::nods to Mek and hops down , trotting to the back::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO/AXO: Gentleman we need to prepare to repel boarders

Host ACO_Friday says:
Self: <explicit deleted>

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Sensors back online.  Enemy vessel has gone to warp.

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: No lieutenant I did not

AXO_Q`tor says:
*EO_Ram*: Mr. Ram Damage report!

All the QIb's systems come back online as quickly as they went off.

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Monitors their course as well as checking their rear for any signs of persuit.:: ALL: No sighs of pursuit!  Looks like we did it! ::Grins and taps away at his console.::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: I think they got what they came fore... the Captain.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: You have their heading?

CTO_Augustus says:
Self: Why did I leave the bridge I knew it was wrong

CMO_Kymar says:
::shoulders a Med Kit and heads for the TL:: TL: Bridge ::the TL klunks into action::

Host Savek says:
%COMM: QIb: Status over?

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: He was in transport at the time?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Aye sir.  Direction and speed locked into helm

SO_Lorenzo says:
::brings the sensors back and seaches for the ship::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::stands and heads for the nearest exit:: All: OK let's go and greet our guest.

EO_Ram says:
AXO: I don't know what that was sir, but all systems are back online

Host ACO_Friday says:
::nods to Meyi to get them moving along Yamamoto's course::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: They interrupted the transporter.

Host Captain_Turner says:
@::Stands on the strange ship wondering what in Gods name is going on::

FCO_Meyi says:
::lays in the course and engages::

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Looks to Ardana and snarls as he knows he has to keep his post.::

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: That is just great

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks out into the bridge searching for casualties::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::checks sensor and deflector logs::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Sir do you want to prep the Challenger for a possible assist in recovery of the Captain?

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Yes, I thought you'd like that.  Will make you think twice the next time you leave the bridge...

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Damage appears minimal sir. Apparently whatever they hit us with was only meant to shut down our systems temporarily

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::trots around a corner and looks at the Human  and growls::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Not yet..I want to know how that little ship managed to completely cripple us, even if it was just momentarily.

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: Lieutenant that is not funny

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Weapon was out of phase with normal space

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Doc: C'mon Doc. let's get this over with.

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Continues to monitor the ships sensors.:: *ALL*: Still no signs of persuit.  Everythings looking good!

Mercenary_Doctor says:
@ ::enters the Brig::

CTO_Augustus says:
::starts reviewing the flight path of the torpedo and the shuttle::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Wasn't meant to be.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO/CTO: Are you going to be able to stop them if they try it again?

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::struggles to maintain power to both the cloaking device and the warp engines::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::her fingers fly across the console in her search for the ship::

Mercenary_Doctor says:
@:: moves to the holding cell, hypo in hand, lowers the forcefield.::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::stands beside the Doc and smiles:: CO: Easy there Captain. This won't hurt a bit.

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks over at CSO::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: ::long pause::  Aye.

CMO_Kymar says:
::seeing everything is clear he walks down to where the ACO is::

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::chuckles at the CO::

Mercenary_Mek says:
@*Bock*: You having problems with the power again? ::Sees that he's having problems maintaining full power.::

Mercenary_Doctor says:
@ ::gives Turner a sedative and draws his blood.::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::stares at Yamamoto:: CSO: You're sure? ::pause, then continues:: Good. Have the modifications online when we find them.

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Doc: Do you have enough? Maybe take a bit extra for insurance?

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Mek: Heck Yeah. You know we needed to repair from the last job we did.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: We need a rescue plan. Get to work on it.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: There may be a problem. Sir.  The modifications... are... dangerous.

Mercenary_Doctor says:
@: Injects a virus, and draws a second time.::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: How so?

Host Captain_Turner says:
@All: Who are you people..........::Passes out as he's injected::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::Goes to Engineering station to coax a little more speed from the engines::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: The ship will need to also be "out of phase"

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: How dangerous are we talking here?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::finds the direction the ship was headed and sends the trajectory to the FCO and CSO::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::looks at Turner and laughs:: CO: You Federation types are such weaklings.

A tachyon trail left by the mercenary ship is picked up by passive sensors.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: At least we know in which direction they went.

Mercenary_Mek says:
@Bock:  Yes.. Yes.  But I don't own or run the ship. ::Sighs.:: I just fly her... And help out where ever I can.

Mercenary_Doctor says:
@:: leaves the Brig, resets the forcefield, and returns to Sickbay.::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::goes back to OPS station:: ACO: Sir, sensors have detected a tachyon trail

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Ms. Lorenzo has detected a tachyon decay trail along the enemy flight path.

Host Captain_Turner says:
@::Starts to come around::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO/AXO: Good. ::turns to Meyi, who's already working on adjusting course::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@::laughs all the way back to the bridge::

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Mek: Yeah I know. I know. ::mumbles to himself again::

Host Captain_Turner says:
@Self: Wha.........?

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: Sir, reporting for duty. What is it I need to do?

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::sniffs at the CO's face::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::brings up a map of the sectors in the direct path of the ship::

Host Captain_Turner says:
@::Draws back from the mercenary::

CIV_Walker says:
::Frowns:: Tachyons? That's good to know....

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::makes a face:: What?

Host ACO_Friday says:
CMO: Are you cross-trained in anything doctor? Tactical or Science would be great..

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Sir, I have an idea but I will need the CSO's help

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Summarize it for me.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::pulls up a sensor log on the main view screen::  ACO:  Sir, the weapon, if what I am seeing is accurate, passed through our sheilds out of phase, then realigned with normal space just prior to impact.

CMO_Kymar says:
ACO: I'm a doctor, not a scientist. But I can fire a phaser if you need me too

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Ardana: The cloaking device is starting to fail!

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Sir, I suggest we cloak so our pursuit will not be detected::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CMO: Excellent. You just vollunteered yourself for a rescue mission.

Host ACO_Friday says:
::nods to Q`tor:: AXO: Do it.

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Bock: Well boost the power......

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::tenativly pokes the CO in the arm::

CIV_Walker says:
AXO: It would be futile to cloak if we're tracking a tachyon trail.

AXO_Q`tor says:
::activates the cloaking device::

CMO_Kymar says:
::nods and adjusts his phaser pistol in its holster:: ACO: Aye, sir. When do I begin?

Mercenary_Mek says:
@*Bock*: Im having problems with the cloaking device! ::Grunts and slams his fist on the console.::

All systems on the mercenary ship go down and it is a sitting duck.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Ardana: Boost the power?..... boost the power? What do I look like? An engineer?

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Mek: Faster Mek. Get us home.

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Sir they stopped

Host ACO_Friday says:
CMO: We need to find them first.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Where?

CTO_Augustus says:
::watches as the trail starts to fade::

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Self: Oh crap!!

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Screams.:: *ALL*: We've just lost all power!  Bock!!!!!!

SO_Lorenzo says:
::on long range sensors scanning for the ship::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: About 5 minutes away

CMO_Kymar says:
::nods and steps back thinking "Oh dear...risking my neck for other people again. Great!"::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Are we in transporter range?

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::hears screaming and flicks her ears back:: Uh oh

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::growls:: ALL: I'm working on it. I'm working on it.

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: We can use the Challenger, cloaked and ride in its wake and follow it

SO_Lorenzo says:
::runs scans over the ship to detect the CO's signature::

CTO_Augustus says:
::scans for the Captain::

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::tries to restore power::

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Gets up.:: ALL: I'll help Bock. ::Runs to a console.::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: I have found the Captain, it looks like he is by the Engineering compartment

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: I don't want to use the Challenger if we don't have to. ::pauses, then adds:: But I'll keep that in mind.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::looks at Mek:: Mek: Thanks.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Beam him out!

CTO_Augustus says:
::looks at the ACO::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Sir, they can still get away.

CIV_Walker says:
::Feels ignored on this point:: CTO: As I already said, that ship is leaving a trail of tachyons, tachyons are FTL Particles and so the claok can't mask againsst them. So, cloaking is useless in a Tachyon Trail.

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Bok: Bok, find some power now, you fool!

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Beam him out aye

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::restores power to engines:: Ardana: You have engines now.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: Our first objective is to rescue the Captain.

AXO_Q`tor says:
::prepares to fire a warning shot at the alien vessel::

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Helps Bock with trying to get power online.:: *ALL*: Doesn't look good...

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::continues to work feverishly on the power systems::

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Mek: Ok, move it Mek, get us out of range.

AXO_Q`tor says:
::disengages the cloaking device::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: You have him yet?

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::tries to restore power to tactical::

The QIb locks onto Captain Turner and beams him out.

AXO_Q`tor says:
::locks onto alien vessels engines and fires::

Mercenary_Raski says:
@::jumps back as the startling blue light:: Ack!

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Aye

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Runs to his console and sits down.:: ALL: They've taken him!  RED ALERT! ::Grabs his phaser.::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CTO: Knock out their weapons systems, we don't want to be blinded again.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Why not beam the crew into the brig sir?

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Aye sir locked and firing

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::Shield power returns momentarily then fails again::

All the mercenary ships weapons come back to full power.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Fifty life signs aboard the enemy vessel.  Cargo transporter should work.

Mercenary_Ardana says:
@Mek: Just get us away from here. We'll deal with the Federation fools later.

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: Do it.

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Shall I attempt to contact them sir, and demand their surrender?

SO_Lorenzo says:
::thought the other ship was already offline::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::activates cargo transporter::  ACO: Beaming

CTO_Augustus says:
AXO: We can transport... sir they have power back should I engage our cloak?

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Transfers all power to their impulse engines and warp core.:: ALL: Here we go! ::Moves their ship away at high impulse and prepares for warp.::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::detects their ships systems coming back::

The mercenary ship disappears firing another special torpedo in their wake.

AXO_Q`tor says:
FCO: Don't let them get away!

CTO_Augustus says:
::Watches as it comes in::

Host ACO_Friday says:
FCO: Evasive!

Mercenary_Mek says:
@Bock: Great going! ::Taps away at his console and manuvers their ship away from the Qlb.::

Mercenary_Bock says:
@::restores power to shields::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Torpedo incoming.  Shield modulations active

CTO_Augustus says:
ALL: Brace yourselves

FCO_Meyi says:
::brings the ship about hard, in a futile effort to duck the torpedo::

The torpedo makes a direct hit on the QIb and all systems fail again.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Mek: Thanks. ::laughs gruffly::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Modifications ineffective.

CTO_Augustus says:
::Tries to get a phaser lock on and fires at missile::

CMO_Kymar says:
::mutters to himself about those torpedoes::

AXO_Q`tor says:
Self: ::loudly:: Quy'ep!

Host ACO_Friday says:
::looks around the darkened bridge:: CSO: I can see that.

CIV_Walker says:
::Groans as the Ops Console goes dark again:: Self: Here we go again...

SO_Lorenzo says:
::taps on her useless console::

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Enters warp.:: Bock: No!  Thank you.  You saved our lives again! ::Breaths a heavy sigh of relief.::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Transport was also incomplete.  I had a partial lock but no patterns.

Mercenary_Bock says:
@Self: Nice to be appreciated now and again. ::smiles::

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: We didn't lose the Captain did we?

Mercenary_Raski says:
@:trots back to the bridge and jumps on Bock::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: He is onboard Sir.

Host ACO_Friday says:
FCO: Pursuit course again Sunsen.

FCO_Meyi says:
::lays in a pursuit course and engages::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO:  Er... I'll work on a better solution.

All the QIb's systems come back online and she comes around to chase the Mercenary ship again.

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Weapons and shields along with sensors are back on line

Mercenary_Mek says:
@::Smiles as everythings running smoothly.:: Ardana: We're heading home.  ::Turns to Bock.:: Thanks to him again.  Turns back to his console and hums a victory melody.::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::attempts to analyze that temporal torpedo and its affect on the QIb::

The mercenary ship disappears into a temporal anomoly.

CMO_Kymar says:
::nods and taps his Comm Badge:: *Sickbay*: Doctor Kymar to D'oh, get the Captain to Sickbay and run some scans. I will be down soon. Kymar out

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO:  Suggestions?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
AXO: Sir, can you assist us?

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks into the TL:: TL: Sickbay

AXO_Q`tor says:
CSO: I'm picking up a temporal anomoly at extreme sensor range...can you confirm it?

CMO_Kymar says:
::afters much chunking and whirring the TL finally smacks to a halt outside Sickbay::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: I suggest we follow it Sir.  We won't know more about it or them unless we find them.  And if they went through all the trouble of kidnapping him once, they will do it again.  I'd like to know why.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
AXO: Confirmed.  Appears to be a concentrated area of chronitons.

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks out of the TL and into Sickbay to check on the Captain::

SO_Lorenzo says:
AXO: Aye, the ship disappeared into a temporal anomoly.

CTO_Augustus says:
AXO: It looks as if the mercenaries went in to the anomoly

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Shall we follow them sir?

Host ACO_Friday says:
::pauses:: CSO: Any problem with us going through one of those anomalies?

MO_D`oh says:
::wheels the CO's Inert form into sickbay::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Full shields.  And make it quick, it's closing.

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: Perhaps a probe sent first would be safer?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: No time.

Host ACO_Friday says:
::nods:: FCO: Take us in.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::nods::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
::realizes the pun::

AXO_Q`tor says:
SO: I don't think we have time for that

FCO_Meyi says:
::takes them in::

Host ACO_Friday says:
All: Hold on everybody, this'll probably get a bit bumpy...

SO_Lorenzo says:
::activates all sensors to take full readings... wanting to know of a way back for them::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Sir shields are at full, but this anomoly may cause some sensor ghosts

The anomoly completely disapears just before the QIb can enter. It passes on through empty space.

AXO_Q`tor says:
::grabs the OPS console and hangs on tight::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
AXO: Besides, the nacelle plating needed a shave anyhow.

SO_Lorenzo says:
~~Well there goes that idea~~

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: We've lost it sir

CMO_Kymar says:
::walks over to where the CO is being lifted onto a Bio-Bed and starts to run some basic scans::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::watches the anomaly close on the viewscreen:: Self: Oh crap.. CSO: Any way to re-open that?

Ensign D`oh becomes nauseous.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO:  I would have to know where they were going

CTO_Augustus says:
::runs his hands over his console trying to trace the vessel::

CMO_Kymar says:
:;turns to look at the Orderly:: D`oh: Are you OK?

Host ACO_Friday says:
CSO: Can sensors tell you?

MO_D`oh says:
::regurgiates into a bedpan::

CMO_Kymar says:
::winces and turns his tricorder to D`oh::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::slams fist down in frustration::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::shakes her head at the puzzle::  It makes no sense.

MO_D`oh says:
::waves to indicate he hopes to be better in a minute and passes out ::

D`oh passes out on the floor of Sick Bay.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::continues scanning space for a new temporal opening::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: Lets see if we can't narrow it down from the 300 years I read.

MO_D`oh says:
::lies in the vomit on the floor of sickbay::

CMO_Kymar says:
::grumbles and picks D`oh up, placing him onto a Bio-Bed::

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: You're kidding right?  They could be anywhere at anytime...

SO_Lorenzo says:
::frustrated at losing their prey::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: Do I look like I'm kidding?

Host ACO_Friday says:
::hears Yamamoto telling Lorenzo they have 300 years to scan and sits down in the big chair, biting his thumbnail:: Self: <explicit deleted again>

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: Guess not... Where do you want me to start?

CMO_Kymar says:
::scans D`oh with his tricorder and looks at the results::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: Start with any scans of the ship.  It may give us a better starting point.

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: Wait. Tachyon decay!!  Of course!!

FCO_Meyi says:
::has the ship holding dead in space::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::raises eyebrows as the Cheif yells::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO:  The tachyon emissions. Check the decay rates.

Host ACO_Friday says:
::spins around:: CSO: That sounded positive..please tell me it was..

CTO_Augustus says:
::scanning the area for any tell tale signs::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::analyzing the rate of decay of the tachyon emissions::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO:  Like any energized particles, tachyons would show a rate of decay, sort of like carbon dating, only in reverse.  Tachyons cannot go slower than lite unless energized.  The more energy supplied the "slower" the particle.  If we can determine the amount of energy in the particles we might be able to narrow it down a bit.

Host ACO_Friday says:
::gets up and walks over to Augustus while Lorenzo and Yamamoto work hard:: CTO: Once we find them, I want that ship dead in space. Get their weapons down first, then shields, then beam all of them to the brig.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turner starts to come around::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::listens to Yamamoto and his head starts to spin:: CSO: Ok...so you can find them, right?

CTO_Augustus says:
CSO: good idea, but isn't that going to be like looking for the needle in a haystack?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CTO: Just need a magnet

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Moans to self trying to open eyes::

CMO_Kymar says:
::turns to the CO while his tricorder continues to analise the scans from the Orderly::

Host ACO_Friday says:
*CMO*: Friday to Kymar. How's the Captain?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
SO: I'm going to try and find out who's ship it was from our sensor data while you work on the when.

Host Captain_Turner says:
::Attempts to sit up::

SO_Lorenzo says:
::trying to decipher some kind of temporal trail from the rate of tachyon decay.::

CMO_Kymar says:
*ACO*: He is coming around, Sir. The orderly who brought him here however seems to have become very ill. I would like you to find out the route ensign D`oh took and initiate a quarantine of all those areas and Sickbay

CMO_Kymar says:
::pushes the CO back down again:: CO: Not yet, Captain

CTO_Augustus says:
CSO: OK, but where do we start?  We can use our sensors from the ship or we might be able to refine them by using a shuttle to enhance them

SO_Lorenzo says:
CSO: Aye.  If it's there I'll find it.

Host ACO_Friday says:
*CMO*: Ok...Friday out. ::turns to Q`tor:: Can you take care of that?

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: Lieutenant you can pilot a shuttle right?

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Yes.

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: On it sir

SO_Lorenzo says:
::looking steadily at the screens in front of her... frowning as she works on solving the puzzle::

AXO_Q`tor says:
::begins activating quarantine forcefields on any possible affected areas::

CTO_Augustus says:
CSO: What do you think Akira, take a couple of shuttles out and tie their sensors into yours and get better readings?

Host Captain_Turner says:
CMO: I gotta get back to duty.

CTO_Augustus says:
CSO: Or sit and try to get a tight fix?

CMO_Kymar says:
CO: No you don't, everything is just fine. Lie down here and rest for a bit

SO_Lorenzo says:
::why would they want the CO?::

CMO_Kymar says:
::sets MO Doherty the task of treating D`oh's symptoms::

CSO_Yamamoto says:
CTO: We have the haystack... we just have to find your needle.

SO_Lorenzo says:
::personal revenge...... or an attack on the QIb?::

Host ACO_Friday says:
::paces the bridge, looking back at Akira and Julia working hard every now and then, not wanting to bug them about hurrying up::

AXO_Q`tor says:
CSO: I have a question Lieutenant. In the event that you discover "when" they went, how do you propose we follow them?

CTO_Augustus says:
CSO: So you want me to get a couple of shuttles prepped and ready to assist

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: Lt Lorenzo what are you thinking

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: Well, the reason I wanted to follow that ship in was to find out why.  Why did they want our Captain?

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: Quarantined areas of the ship are sealed off sir.

Host ACO_Friday says:
AXO: Very good.

CMO_Kymar says:
::notices a stain of Blood on the CO's arm, rolling up the sleeve he finds 2 puncture wounds:: Self: Blood test...?

CSO_Yamamoto says:
ACO: Permission to send a shuttle to the Yretsym system

AXO_Q`tor says:
ACO: So far there are no other reports of illness from anywhere else on the ship

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: It was for personal revenge or an attack of our ship.  But, they had us... they didn't want us, they wanted him.

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: I see...do you think that there is a possiblity that they know about Captain Turners background?

CMO_Kymar says:
::turns on the scanner and sets it on maximum resolution to scan the CO:: Self: Lets see what this turns up

SO_Lorenzo says:
CTO: What about his background?  I dont have the clearance I used to have.

CTO_Augustus says:
SO: Just checking Lt just checking

SO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns at the CTO::

CTO_Augustus says:
ACO: Commander Friday, do you think that it might be a reason for the attack?
