<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<Start Mission>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
CEO_Q`tor says:
::Overseeing engineering operations from the Engineering station on the bridge::
CMO_Kymar says:
::in Holosuite 1 working through the sword forms with his ancient earth weapon::
CIV_Walker says:
::Sat down on the bridge, slouching on a stool drinking some nice warm coffee at Sci II for a change, knowing Q'tor would not approve of coffee near him, even if it was raj`taj::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::at Science I on the bridge, reviewing the previous probe readings from the Starfleet database::
Captain_Turner says:
::Sits in his Ready Room looking over a PADD from Commander Friday:;
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::activates long range sensors to start her study::
Captain_Turner says:
::Taps the shipwide comm:: *Shipwide*: All senior staff report to the bridge immediately.
CMO_Kymar says:
::a black garbed fighter runs out of the bushes with a sword in hand and begins to attack, modifying his forms he turns to parry the thrust and hears the voice in his head “Dagger in his hand!”::
FCO Crasher says:
     ::monitoring the flight, checking the ETA::
Captain_Turner says:
::Deactivates the comm::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::thinks to himself that he's already on the bridge::
CMO_Kymar says:
::changing his forms again he alters the swing of his sword and takes off his attackers hand at the wrist before severing his head:: Self: I thought you'd gone away...
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::monitoring sensors and comparing her readings to those stored in the database::
CMO_Kymar says:
::deactivating the program he heads towards the bridge, hearing a voice in his head “I told you, brother. I'm not going anywhere. You should practice more, you are losing your touch with the sword” :: Self: Quiet you ::steps into the TL:: TL: Bridge
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::wonders what to say to the short-tempered Klingon about her outburst the other day::

Captain_Turner says:
::Stands from his desk and heads for the Bridge::
CIV_Walker says:
::sips the coffee while looking forward at the viewscreen, leaning back a bit on the console::
 CMO_Kymar says:
::the Turbolift stops and he steps out, with sweat matting the hair on his forehead and a sword sheathed at his belt he looks a right mess::
Captain_Turner says:
::Exits his RR and enters the Bridge::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::Stands up as the CO enters:: ALL: Captain on the bridge!
CMO_Kymar says:
::walks towards the rest of the crew and stands to attention::
Captain_Turner says:
ALL: I'll make this brief. ::Looks down at the PADD once more::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::Looks over to the CO but continues her scans of the system before them::
CIV_Walker says:
::Stays slouching, drinking coffee nicely::
FCO Crasher says:
 ::brings the ship smoothly out of warp as they enter the system
Captain_Turner says:
ALL: Due to circumstances beyond his control Commander Friday has had to take an indefinite leave of absence.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::frowns, and hopes Friday is alright... she'd enjoyed serving with another Betazoid::
CMO_Kymar says:
::winces at the news and the voice speaks up “You didn't like him much anyway”::
Captain_Turner says:
ALL: In the interim, I'm appointing Commander Q'tor as Acting Executive Officer and Lt. Commander Lorenzo as Acting Second officer, until a permanent decision is approved by Starfleet.
CEO_Q`tor says:
::Is rather shocked by the news::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::scrunches up her face as if a mistake has been made::
FCO Crasher says:
 ::turns, and announces in a quiet voice:: CO: Captain, we're out of warp, awaiting orders from yourself or commander Lorenzo.
Captain_Turner says:
ALL: That's all. Dismissed.
CEO_Q`tor says:
::Looks over at the CSO:: CSO: Congratulations?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::looks back at the CEO:: CEO: Likewise Commander...
Captain_Turner says:
CSO: Begin the scans whenever you're ready Commander.
CIV_Walker says:
::Just thinks "Great, more power, that's all we need."::
CMO_Kymar says:
::Nodding to the captain he walks towards the turbolift and holds it a moment before letting the doors close:: TL: Sickbay

CEO_Q`tor says:
::Goes back to the Engineering station for the time being::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: I've started them already Sir.  Before reaching the system.  It is an area with many ion storms.  We'll need to enter orbit of the three planets in the system to check out each one.
Captain_Turner says:
CSO: The conn's at your disposal then.
FCO_Crasher says:
 ::turns:: CSO: Sir, we're ready to enter orbit of Gyra Pi III
CMO_Kymar says:
::the TL stops and he walks out "You really do need to practice, your not on duty for another 12 minutes...its enough for one sparring match":: Self: No, I have work to do ::quiets a little as he enters the empty sickbay::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
FCO: Set her up over the largest land mass, we can start there.
FCO_Crasher says:
    CSO: Aye sir. ::maneuvers the ship into orbit:: CO: Standard orbit, sir.
CIV_Walker says:
::puts the empty coffee cup on top of the console at the edge, not on the panel, above it and turns to see Lorenzo, smiling, waiting to be asked to do something, she knows what he's thinking::
CMO_Kymar says:
::unbuckling his sword belt he props it in the corner and picks up his lab coat to put it on, a feeling of security washes over him as he wears his familiar white coat::
Captain_Turner says:
::Sits in the center seat and watches the CSO work::
FCO_Crasher says:
    CSO: Sir, we're over the landmass.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: I'm detecting a level 9 ion storm Sir.  We're in for a ride.  I'd like to send out a probe to take new readings.
CEO_Q`tor says:
::watches console seeing that all systems are green. Adjusts for more power to sensors::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Its increasing in intensity.  I suggest we keep our distance.
CIV_Walker says:
::whispering:: CSO: Level nine? That's pretty intense....
CEO_Q`tor says:
::increases power to the shields::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::grins over at Walker:: CIV: You wanted to experience new things.  Just think of it as surfing... on a really big wave.
CIV_Walker says:
CSO: I don't think even our shields are rated for that sort of discharge. If one of those arcs hits us...
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Nods at the CSO::
CMO_Kymar says:
::gets a notification from the bridge of a possible Ion Storm and forwards it to the MO's who are off duty and telling them to prepare sickbay::

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: I'm sure FCO Crasher has experience maneuvering around them.
Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: Let's play it safe and move out then.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::readies a class IV stellar encounter probe::
CIV_Walker says:
CSO: I'd rather not be on the same side of the sun.
FCO_Crasher says:
   CSO: Actually, sir, I was the person who scored lowest while actually graduating.  Self: Why does she think I got assigned to this ship?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::launches probe and after a while of study nods her head:: CO: Readings are confirmed Sir.  Everything is as it should be.  We can move along to the next planet.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::looks a bit shocked at the FCO, then frowns.... oh dear::
FCO_Crasher
CSO/CO: Leaving orbit.... en route to Gyra Pi II
CMO_Kymar says:
::sits in his chair as a few MO's start to filter into Sickbay and prepare for possible casualties::
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Nods at the FCO::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
FCO: A pair of ion storms are moving a little closer but still not within reach.  I'm sending you their coordinates so you can monitor their progress and adjust as needed.
Fco_Crasher says:
     ::checks his console:: CSO: Verified, and tracking.  We are now entering orbit of Gyra Pi II
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::starts to prepare scans for the second planet::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::following the same procedures she had for the first planet she studies the readings carefully on one screen and monitors the ion storm's trajectory and velocity on another::
FCO_Crasher says:
    CO: Uhhh..... Captain........
Host FCO_Crasher says:
CO: Helm control just went off-line ::punches his console::
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Hears the FCO:: CEO: What's wrong with her?
CEO_Q`tor says:
::frantically starts pushing buttons:: CO: Sir, we just lost warp drive
Host FCO_Crasher says:
::watching the ion storms drifting closer::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CEO/FCO: You're kidding right?
CIV_Walker says:
::gets up from Science two and goes to sit at Tac 2, opposite engineering to listen and see what's happening::
CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: I don't know sir, Engineering can't find any problems;

ACTION: QIb is suddenly buffeted around, making everyone rock quite a bit in their seats

Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Scramble your teams then Commander. Get engines back online now!
CIV_Walker says:
::reconfigures Tac 2 to act as an engineering console::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::grips the console and tries to monitor the coming storm::
CMO_Kymar says:
::rocks about in his chair and stands up "What’s up now, d'ya think?"::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::hangs onto the console:: CO: Sir, teams are working on it, but according to internal sensors all systems should be online
Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: Send out a distress call.
Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Inform Starfleet of our situation.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: I'm getting strong readings from the planet Sir.  The magnetic geometry of the planet is causing our malfunctions.
CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Aye sir. It appears that the planets magnetic geometry is affecting the ships systems.
CEO_Q`tor says:
::Hits a few buttons and sends out an auto-distress signal::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: The probe picked up the readings before but I had no idea they would have this kind of effect on the ship.
CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Damage control teams are trying to compensate

ACTION: Alarms start blaring from the science consoles, as the ion storms move in

Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: Is there any way we can distance ourselves from it?
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: The ion storms are closing on us.  We need our shields at full strength if we cannot move Sir.
CEO_Q`tor says:
::adjusts all available power to the shields::
Host FCO_Crasher says:
CO: Sir, suggest we attempt to leave orbit?
CIV_Walker says:
CSO: Wouldn't it be better to shut down most of our primary systems? If they're off line they won't be fried by the storm.
CMO_Kymar says:
::mutters to himself and heads out into the Main Sickbay:: MO_D'oh: Prepare for casualties, we might be getting any soon. Report from the bridge says we have lost engine power and the Ion Storm is closing in....
 
ACTION: First ion storm impact in 10...... 9.... 8....

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Not without navigation control Sir.
CEO_Q`tor says:
::Begins shutting down all non-essential systems and transferring the power to shields::
Host FCO_Crasher says:
::tries to get control back to the thrusters at least::
CMO_Kymar says:
::looks around at his gathered doctors "It's coming...":: All: Hold on tight ::grabs a nearby biobed::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: I still need to monitor that storm.
Host Captain_Turner says:
*Shipwide*: This is the Captain speaking. All hands brace for impact!
 
ACTION: the viewscreen looks very pretty, as swirling blue energy seems to pass around, enveloping both the ship, and the planet

CIV_Walker says:
CSO: If I were you I'd be shutting down those sensors or we'll be blind after this thing hits!
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: If I shut them down we'll be blind now.
Host Captain_Turner says:
ALL: We've got to get some control somehow. Suggestions ARE welcome!
CIV_Walker says:
::Raises voice a little:: CSO: I'd rather be able to find our way home and ride this out than blow out the entire grid!
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::tries to extrapolate the direction of the storms in hopes it will pass them quickly::
 
ACTION: The ship is hit by a bolt from the storm

CIV_Walker says:
::Grabs the console in front of him while the ship is rocked::
CMO_Kymar says:
::is rocked from his hold on the biobed and is launched into his office where he quickly grabs his desk::
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Is jolted hard::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::flies from his seat as the ship is rocked by the bolt::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: I'd prefer to stay alive long enough  ::gets jostled about in her seat::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::gets back up and looks over to see the shield situation::
 
ACTION: Consoles blow out in sickbay, replicators explode in Yay Tach, a shuttle gets thrown a few centimeters from where it was parked, and an EPS relay blows out on the bridge

Host Captain_Turner says:
ALL: Damage report!

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::fighting to keep her seat she tries to record the readings she is getting from the storm:
CMO_Kymar says:
::watches as a console explodes near one of his female doctors, burning her and throwing he to the other side of the room:: All: See to Perthia and prepare for incoming casualties! ::standing up he walks out into the main sickbay again::
 
ACTION: Another bolt hits, slewing the ship downwards.  Tactical 1 blows out 

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Dorsal shields are down to 30%, minor to moderate electrical damage is being reported throughout all decks
CIV_Walker says:
::shields his eyes from the tactical console’s sparks::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Sensors are still taking readings Sir.  ::flinches from the blast at TAC::
CMO_Kymar says:
::is jostled from his standing position but maintains his balance and continues on about his business, looking towards the doors at the injured crewman coming in::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: But, we lost the probe.
Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Are any ships responding to our distress call?
CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: No sir, I can't even be sure that we still have subspace communications.
Host FCO_Crasher says:
CO: Captain! That last jolt threw us slightly out of orbit, we have partial thruster control!
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Turns to the CSO:: CSO: Is there anything we can do to redirect the storms energy?
Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Well lets move then!
Host FCO_Crasher says:
CO: Aye sir, full thrusters!
 
ACTION: Second storm hits 

CIV_Walker says:
CO: Captain, I recommend entering the planets atmosphere below the ionosphere, it should be enough to dampen the effects of the storm... we need to sink to avoid the storm, not float.
Host Captain_Turner says:
FCO: Enter the planets ionosphere!
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Nods at the CIV::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Sir, the planet is what cut out our navigation.

ACTION: Lights blow out on the bridge, and a bolt hits the port impulse engine, causing heavy damage

CEO_Q`tor says:
::trying frantically to restore some of the damaged systems::
Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: The planet in conjunction with the storm. The planet it self might offer some protection.
Host FCO_Crasher says:
CO: Captain?? Aye sir, attempting to enter atmosphere
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Sir it was the planet's magnetic geometry, not the storm that took away helm control.
CMO_Kymar says:
::is rocked again by the Ion Storm as he finishes mending an Ensign's broken arm::
Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: I sure hope you're right about this Walker. ::Glares::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: If we try to land we'll lose control again and then who knows where we'll end up.
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Conflicted:: FCO: Belay that order! Take us as far away from this place as you can. Maximum speed!
CIV_Walker says:
CSO: Just keep clicking your heals... there's no place like home.
CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Sir, I am very quickly running out of damage control teams
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CIV: What?
 
ACTION:  The very large storm comprised of each of the first two quite large ones throws out a lot of bolts, many of which hit QIb.  The first destroys any remaining shields, and a number hit weapons arrays, blowing out hull plates, as EPS conduits rupture across the ship, destroying the weapons and shields systems, exposing some of the internal structure of the ship to the cold vacuum of space

CMO_Kymar says:
::is thrown from his position into the far wall and falls to the ground weakly, looking about he sees the carnage that is strewn about "Bring back old memories, Dremel?" the voice laughs coldy::
Host FCO_Crasher says:
CO: Aye sir, clearing orbit!
CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Sir, shields are gone, and we have multiple hull ruptures throughout the ship.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::breathing hard from her struggles to not get knocked out of her seat and remain at her console::
Host FCO_Crasher says:
 ::Does his best with the minimal thrusters he has::
Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Get repair teams on them now!
CEO_Q`tor says:
::trying desperately to get some engine power back online.

Host FCO_Crasher says:
CO: Captain, it'll be a while to clear the storm without impulse engines, we'll get hit more times on the way out!

CMO_Kymar says:
::standing up he gets ready to help everyone get together:: Self: Get away from me! ::growls quietly::
Host Captain_Turner says:
ALL: I need options people not opinions!
 
ACTION: Port nacelle is hit 

CIV_Walker says:
CO: We just took a hit to the port nacelle, we are venting drive plasma at an exponential rate. I recommend securing the WPS Manifold for now.
Host Captain_Turner says:
CSO: You're sure the planet won't provide protection?
 
ACTION: Tactical two also blows out, hurling Walker across the bridge, into the CEO 

CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: Sir, ships have survived a level 5 ion storm.  But, there has never been any record of a ship making it through a level 9.
Host Captain_Turner says:
CIV: Secure it!
CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: Sir, we can't take many more hits. Damage control is working feverishly to get impulse engines online.
CIV_Walker says:
::Is hurled::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::falls over in a heap as Walker lands on him::
CEO_Q`tor says:
CIV: Mr Walker, are you injured?
 
ACTION: As if in anger, the storm throws a few last bolts at the ship, blowing out the helm console, as it suddenly clears the ship, leaving her once again in the peace of space

CMO_Kymar says:
::the stream of patients going in and out of sickbay continues, with healing becoming slap-dash and the most critical being mended first::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::turns around to see the fire and gets up to get an extinguisher to use on TAC II::
CIV_Walker says:
::Lands with a bump on the deck, unconscious, of course, bleeding from the head, of course, with a fair few burns::
Host FCO_Crasher says:
::gets caught right in the chest when helm blows out, and collapses, pretty dead, in his chair::

CMO_Kymar says:
::"We are through it, Brother...Looks like we aren't dead yet" Muttering he sets about finishing his work, not bothering to answer back. The voice remains eerily silent::
Host Captain_Turner says:
*CMO*: Turner to Sickbay!
CEO_Q`tor says:
::slowly rolls out from under Walker trying not to aggravate any possible injuries that he may have::
CMO_Kymar says:
*CO*: Kymar Here. go ahead, Captain
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::back at SCI I:: CO: We're pass the storm Sir.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
CO: We're in the clear.
Host Captain_Turner says:
*CMO*: We need med teams to the Bridge on the double!
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Nods at the CSO::
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::gets up and makes her way to FCO Crasher::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::checks Walker's pulse:: CO: he is alive sir, but his pulse is weak.
Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Tell your crews they're going to be working through the night.
CMO_Kymar says:
::nods:: *CO*: On my way, Kymar out. ::picking up his Med Kit he runs to the Bridge::

Host Greg says:
ACTION: QIb drifts listlessly in space, fires burning on her decks, plasma leaking from the port nacelle, a trail of debris flowing out behind her, as she slowly tumbles out of orbit

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: I believe they are already aware of that sir
Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: Check his breathing.
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::after checking the FCO she closes her eyes and then gets back up to find another extinguisher to use on the helm.::
CMO_Kymar says:
TL: Bridge....::pauses::....Bridge....::checks the panel and see's the Turbolift is offline...Jefferey Tube time. Heading out he opens up the nearest Tube and makes his way slowly to the bridge::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::holds his hand in front of Walkers nose to feel his breath:: CO: He's breathing
Host Captain_Turner says:
CEO: What's his rate?
Host Captain_Turner says:
Self: Come on Doc, come on.
CMO_Kymar says:
::after a few minutes of climbing he arrives at the Bridge access panel and kicks it open before crawling out::

CEO_Q`tor says:
CO: I'm not sure sir, as I have no medical training, but I would guess.....slow
CSO_Lorenzo says:
::tries to access helm control:: CO: We're drifting Captain.

Host Greg says:
ACTION: Walker's breathing becomes shallower, and suddenly stops

CMO_Kymar says:
::looking around at the carnage he notices a group of people gathered around and jogs over::
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Grabs a med kit from the Bridge locker::
Host Captain_Turner says:
CMO: Doc! Walkers stopped breathing.
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Jumps over to Walker and checks his pulse::
CEO_Q`tor says:
:: Notices the change in respiration:: CO: Um sir....it just got worse
CMO_Kymar says:
::looking down he see's Walker not breathing "You couldn't save him, Brother":: Self: NO! ::kneels on the ground near Walkers body and begins CPR::
CMO_Kymar says:
CEO: Q'tor, get my Medkit

Host Greg says:
ACTION: A new alarm suddenly sounds, followed by an ominous computer warning

CSO_Lorenzo says:
::attempting to assess the condition of their one engine::
Computer Says:
 ALL: Warning.  Warp core micro-fracture.  Breach imminent.
Host Captain_Turner says:
::Grabs the Automated External Defribrilator from the kit::
CEO_Q`tor says:
::looks around for the Doctor's med kit and grabs it::

Host Greg says:
