Summary - The United Federation of Planets has gone to war. Following a series of violent strikes into Federation/Amenti territory, the 4th Stellar Fleet has been placed on high alert and recalled to Arcadia Station.

Members of the Fleet have assembled and the Captains of dozens of vessels have met for a war briefing on the situation in Amenti Sector. Their foe - an enigmatic species known only as the Synod.

It has been confirmed that at least two vessels have been destroyed, several more are missing in action, and at least five Federation facilities along the border have been attacked...

Three hours after the Captain's briefing, the U.S.S. Quirinus has received orders sending them to a region of space in Amenti Sector known as the Loqan Stretch. They will receive more information en route.

=/\==/\=BEGIN U.S.S. Quirinus Mission - "The Chess Game - First Move"=/\==/\=

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::on the bridge at tactical, drumming her fingers on the station::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::On the bridge, slowly pacing::

ACTION - The U.S.S. Quirinus, along with the Excelsior class U.S.S. Torto proceed at full warp to the Loqan Stretch. Their current ETA is 30 minutes.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge:: Helm: Keep us in close.  Tactical: Full long range scans.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: I don't like the sounds of what you told me of the meeting.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Down in the arboretum, quietly trying to find her balance.  The continuous nightmares starting to have a more physical affect on her.::

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: at Science One, as always... tuning the lateral sensor array for maximum sensitivity ::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: We are in for the worst, I fear.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::initiates long range sensors, looking for anything that might mean some action, rather than all this waiting::

ACTION - Long range sensors bring up distant details of the Loqan Stretch. The region is devoid of planets or stars. There is a Starfleet Supply Station in the area, estimated population, 5,000.

ACTION - The acting Operations Manager receives a communication from Arcadia Station. "Captain, I have a message for you, text only."

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: I agree. I'm not real keen about not going after them in there own space unless attacked. They've already attacked us, and we can't go after them. Maybe it's best that cooler heads prevail.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: walking with Azhure, concerned ::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
OPS:  Send it to my console.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CTO: Battle will soon be upon us.  I wish...

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: You wish?

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::sitting on the bridge, in the chair usually reserved for the counselor::

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
::Checking some minor upgrades he just installed::

ACTION - The message is routed to Captain Sulek - Mission Orders. The Quirinus and Torto are under orders to set course for the Loqan Station. En route they will rendezvous with the S.S. Cerberus, a civilian transport vessel.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CTO: I wish for peace... I wish for peace all around.  I wish to go home.  :: Looks sadly about her.::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Tactical: We will be being joined by a civilian transport, the Cerberus.  Place them between us and the Torto.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::nods:: CO: Got it

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Which... home?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CTO: Our home...

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
CO: I've got the Cerberus on LRS, sir - we'll catch up to them in a few minutes.

ACTION - The U.S.S. Quirinus glides cleanly through space. Without any subspace tears to block her way their journey is a quick one...long range sensors bring up readings of the station...

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CTO: Home is where you sleep at night?

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: When we arrive at the station, we will need to set up immediate medical and evac procedures. I will leave that to you and medical.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: Aye Sir.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
CEO Chandra: When we arrive take scans and see what you and your teams can do about stabilizing the station while aid is distributed.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
XO/MO: The civilian craft can evacuate about 500, in addition to what the Q and the Torto can carry

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
MO: Mr. Jervase, what do you know about setting up field triage?

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Sir... sensors indicate that the station has sustained heavy damage. There are breaches along at least 40% of the hull. Life support is minimal.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Chuckles and slips an arm around his waist, leaning against him.::  CTO: True... but I was thinking more in line with Hais and Abertura station.  I actually miss my post there.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Scanning for weapons signatures...

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: The rigors of command on a Jem'Hadar station?

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::looks up from his console, still piecing together what he can of the executioner's doings:: XO: I could have something set up in as little time as 15 minutes. And that's on no notice.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CTO: More like the challenge.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
MO: I'll be counting on you. The station as well as several ships have been attacked

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Transmit all data to Engineering.  We will need to support their shielding.

FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::at the Helm, bringing the ship in towards the relay station::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Sighs and tries to hold back a large yawn.::

ACTION - The U.S.S. Quirinus and U.S.S. Torto begin to move alongside the Cerberus...a comm comes in from the civilian craft...

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::nods:: XO: You folks just do what you do and get us there, commander.  My teams will handle the rest of it.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Definite traces of weapons fire along the hull breaches. Results inconclusive, but consistent with what little we know of Synod weaponry.

 Capt_Nathan_Caine says:
@COM: Quirinus: U.S.S. Quirinus, this Captain Caine of the S.S. Cerberus...I heard you need a hand?

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Acknowledged.   :: opens a data stream to Engineering ::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Since we do not know how many were killed in the attack and the station has a population of 5000 normally, The Cerebus will not be the only ones taking on survivors.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Have you tried drugs yet?  Just... some sort of recuperative sleep...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
MO: We'll be coordinating with the Cerberus, they will assist tin any evacuation.

FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::looks over his shoulder:: CO: Captain, we're just under ten minutes out.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CTO: No... nor do I think they will help.  This is not a physical aspect.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
CO: We don't have any Synod in the area right now... but that doesn't mean they won't come back.  We should get the survivors out of there ASAP.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO; It figures. We'll need the all the help we can get

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::nods:: XO: I'll coordinate with their medical staff on arrival.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Cerebus: Indeed we do.  Your help in the administration of aide to the station is appreciated, but we may be stretching your passenger capacity beyond the max.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::looks up and follows the conversation going on between her CO and the newcomer on the comm::

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Then what is it?  ::Being a typical guy, trying to solve problems ::

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
::Begins to run scans of the station::

 Capt_Nathan_Caine says:
COM: Quirinus: Understood Captain...I'll have my crew dump any unnecessary cargo immediately...::He hands a rough looking PADD to a lackey and scratches at the stubble growing on his face:: We'll do what we can to help...

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Michaels: Understood.  Keep our shields at priority and have all weapons ready.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
CO: Already done, sir.

FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::keeping an eye on SRS as the ship approaches::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Caine:  Thank you, Captain.  Please be advised that from what we know of the attacking force, they do not take prisoners.  We will protect you if needed, but in any case, if there is an attack you should be prepared to warp out immediately.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Taps her head:: CTO: Something locked away up here.  Something I want to remember, yet I do not.  And to aide the do not, is something someone did.  I may yet need Sulek's help.  But this is not the time or place.  After we deal with the Synod... maybe.

 Capt_Nathan_Caine says:
COM: Quirinus: Understood Captain...::He gives a warm smile and nods once:: Stay safe. Cerberus out.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: frowns ::  CNS: Forgive me for thinking you're more important...

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Ahkilleez: Bring us in as quickly as you can.  There has been no contact with the station other than its automated distress.

ACTION - ETA three minutes. The U.S.S. Quirinus and their partners approach the Loqan region. The Station shows up on the viewscreen. She is heavily damaged, the outside of her hull is littered with burn marks and explosive holes.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Life signs?

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Stops and slips both her arms around his waist, holding tightly.  Whispers::  CTO: Thank you...

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::sends word to sickbay to have every triage team that's aboard prepped and ready, then sends the specs of his available resources to the other two ships::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::stands at the sight of the station::

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
CO: I suggest a crew to strip the station and the destroy it. It's in bad shape sir.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::raises both eyebrows and just stares::

FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::expecting to see the warning and navigational buoy signals and realizes even most of those have been destroyed, suggesting how serious the attack on the station itself has been:: CO: Aye, captain.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches grimly.  It's condition is too much of a reminder of Crossroads::

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
:: checks the scanners ::

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::glances up at the viewscreen, and just has to shake his head:: Self: I thought we just left the system of hell...

ACTION - The communication relays and the command section have been entirely destroyed. Only twisted metal remains. The visible external shield generators have been removed by force and the once clean exterior of the station has been blackened...

FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::moving in at maximum impulse, but moving wide of the station, not wanting to hit debris.. or body::

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: sighs ::  CNS: So... now what.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Chandra: Agreed, but there may little to salvage.  Still we need to prevent as much information as possible from entering Synod hands.

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::while waiting for the ships to respond if they're going to, the doctor gets up, and makes for the TL, and sickbay::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: Doesn’t look like they Need any information on Us

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Difficult to be certain... getting some serious interference due to radiation originating in the engineering section. There are survivors... best estimate, about 2400.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Pangborn: Prepare to send rescue teams.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CO: Aye

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
CO: We can pull all the memory banks from the computers during the evacuation sir.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Can we compensate and begin transfer using transporters?

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::steps off the lift, and enters sickbay, giving orders as he moves, helping to set the place up for what should be one hell of a patient influx::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Reaches up to brush away a stray tear. Quietly:: CTO: I have no answers right now.  Things must play themselves out.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
*MO*: Mr Jervase, you'll accompany me to the station and lead the rescue effort. Put together your best teams. I'll have security as well.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
TO: Get a few of your people together and follow me. We're going aboard

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
OPS: Try flashing the ships running lights through the breaches.  We should at least try and let them know we're here

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: The survivors furthest from the station's engineering section can be transported with no problems. It will be riskier for those near engineering, or on the other side of engineering from us.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CTO: I believe you are going to be needed soon.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
CSO: Will we need environmental suits over there, to protect us from the radiation?

ACTION - The Operations Manager nods and does as ordered. As the Quirinus approaches the broken station their running lights dance along the hull, lighting up the darkened station.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: I figure as much.  We're on the brink of war, on the edge of the battle zone.  Miss Kostandinos is decent, but has a lot to learn yet.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
XO: Gotcha ::rounds up a few TO's via comm and readies herself to go::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Lock on all you can and send them to the Cerebus first.

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::pauses in his instructions:: *XO*: Understood, commander. Triage teams 1 and 2 are on their way to the transporter room now. The rest will be set up in the cargo bay to separate the injured from the ones needing surgery.

FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::slows the ship, turning the bulk of the transporter emitters toward the station::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Steps away with a light smile::  CTO: I have a few crewmembers to see to.  I will see you tonight if not sooner.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Jervase: Send some medical teams to the Cerebus to help.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Only in Engineering proper. And I would suggest that one of Lt. Chandra's priorities be to shut down the radiation leaks.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CNS: Okay.  Try not to fall asleep on duty.

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::grabs an emergency med kit, and a battlefield trauma kit, before he makes his way for the transporter room:: *CO*: Aye, captain. ::orders another triage team to divert from the cargo bay to the civilian ship::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
TO/*MO*: I've been advised we'll need environmental suits to deal with  the radiation, have your teams equipped. The are were going to is one we can't transport out of due to the radiation.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Chandra: Get your teams aboard.  You heard Commander Kraight.  Priority is to stop the radiation leaks first.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: A look of mock abhorrence::  CTO: Never!  :: Steps up to kiss him.::

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Commencing transport to the Cerebus...  :: taps several controls ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
TO: Lets go. ::moves toward the TL::

ACTION - Several medical teams are sent over to the S.S. Cerberus, and the civilian ship can be seen dumping some of it's cargo into space.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::follows the XO, issuing orders to the TO's to suit up with EVAs:: XO: It should be interesting, what we find over there... and not interesting in a good way either.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::enters the TL:: TO: I doubt it

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::contemplates sending a nurse to check on Azhure, then thinks better of it, figuring if there was a problem he'd already know, and steps into a TL::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
TL: Transporter room one

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: Once the Cerebus is full we’ll send them to the nearest base.  I want them clear of the area as soon as possible.  Divide the rest we bring with the Torto and the Q.  The Torto can probably handle more, but by dividing them, if the unthinkable happens, we have the possibility of saving more.

 SM_ChrisD says:
:: Kisses her lightly, and as she leaves, heads out himself to the Bridge ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::arrives at transporter room one::

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::meets her TOs in the TR, briefs them about what to expect, and gets ready to go over herself::

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir

ACTION - The transporter rooms are a hive of activity as Engineers, Medical staff and Security officers begin beaming over to the crippled station.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Making her way to her office, she enters and looks around.  The feeling of something not right shadowing her.::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Cerebus: You will receive the first evacuees.  Once you are full.  I want you clear and on the way to nearest star base.  Maximum warp.

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::arrives with his medical teams in the TR, only a minute or so behind Pangborn and Adrienne::

ACTION - The Cerberus acknowledges the Quirinus.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: heads for the turbolift, heading up to the Bridge ::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
::steps up on the padd:: Transporter Chief: Set us down as close to engineering as you can.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Getting indications now that life support has completely failed in much of the station... power levels down to 3%.

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
::motions his teams to take their places, and does the same::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Restlessly moves about the room.::

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
::is already on the padd, wanting to get this done with::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
*Chandra* Time is running out.  Kraight: Contact the Torto and begin transporting generators, lights and air purifiers.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Understood.  :: opens a channel ::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: The incoming light flashing has her checking her messages.  Her appointment needed to cancel due to being ill.::

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
*CO*: Aye sir. ::Begins the transporting process::

ACTION - The Away Teams from the U.S.S. Quirinus beam over. As they arrive the teams notice gas pouring in the corridors and the only light available is the red glow of emergency lights.

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Arrives on the Bridge, and doesn't see his TO ::

ACTION - Screaming can be heard in the distance and as more staff beam in, they set to work finding survivors. Bulkheads have collapsed and debris is everywhere. Adrienne is immediately reminded of the attack on Crossroads Station, and the horrific aftermath...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@:;glad they brought envrio suits:: TO/MO: Lets make out way towards engineering, when we come upon injured, we'll bring them back post haste for evacuation from this point

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@TO's: Fan out, search for survivors and militants both - just because their ships weren't on sensors doesn't mean they aren't still here

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::materializes, and he and his teams immediately get set up, and begin scanning for survivors::

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
:@::shivers involuntarily at the sight and pushes the thought back, focused on the job::
 
ACTION - In a shimmer of teal light, Captain Nathan Caine and three of his crew arrive not far from Pangborn and his team. Their emergency suits are of style and look to be quite aged, but are functional.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::turns at the sound of the transporter, momentarily startled until she realizes it's friendlies::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::feels cold, searches for survivors, stops as he sees the beam in:: Caine: Good to see you, we'll need all the help we can get

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning to see Powers:: Powers: Commander you were at the meeting.  Question: If the Synod had this contingency planned for some time and did not leave survivors alive elsewhere, why leave them here?

 Capt_Nathan_Caine says:
XO: Glad to be of service, Commander...::He glances around and pulls out an older issue Starfleet tricorder...something almost 40 years old:: I'm picking up high levels of radiation in this area...

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: A variety of theories come to mind.  This was a station, not a ship. Not It's location.  Or the attackers were not Synod - or perhaps someone else in Synod vessels.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@Caine: We're trying to get it contained. Engineering crews are on it.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Or a trap?

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::cocks an eyebrow at the equipment the civvies brought with them, but figures "whatever works" - goes back to supervising her team and looking for survivors::

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Also possible, Captain.

ACTION - Kostandinos-Michael's team fans out and begins working. The civilians move off with her, searching for survivors...many of them have died from lack of life support and radiation poisoning.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Worst case scenario then.  Prepare for a trap.

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
@::Begins to coordinate his teams efforts::

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::his teams have spread out, extending their search for survivors but, per Michael's instructions, they stick reasonably close to the security people--Michael himself follows Adrienne::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Shakes her head and exits for the bridge.::

 Capt_Nathan_Caine says:
@<Engineer> CEO: Radiation levels are spiking sir...looks like we may have a rupture somewhere in one of the main systems...

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: We should prepare sensor buoys as advance warning systems...

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@*CEO*: Any luck getting the radiation contained? Better life support would be a bonus as well

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@MO: I wish I could say we had more need for your people...  most of them could have used us here about 12 hours ago.

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: We've transported about 300 survivors off the station thus far, Captain. Evacuation continuing...

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
Engineer: Find that leak now.

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
*XO*: Aye sir. I will try.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: As the lift stops, she moves toward her chair, starting to take a seat and stops.::

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::just shakes his head:: TO: Most of them probably didn't even have a clue.

 Capt_Nathan_Caine says:
@<Engineer> CEO: Aye sir...

FCO_LtJG_Ahkileez says:
::with no immediate orders, he keeps an eye on the transport ships following and the debris orbiting the station::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Powers: Do what is necessary. As one of the more experienced tactical officer I've known,  I leave the defense of these ships in your capable hands

ACTION - The Engineering staff rush into the main Engine Room...no survivors are found in there at all.

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Kraight: We need to be faster, if possible.  Inform the AT's to set pattern enhancers.

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
@::Begins a scan to try and locate the rupture::

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
CO: Understood, sir.  :: Begins issuing orders to the lower deck engineers and tactical officers to modify probes for this purpose, and to have them loaded into the tubes.  They also begin to shunt power to weapons and shields for possibly bringing them online at a moment's notice ::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: Do they require any help with the evacuees?

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::continues walking, sweeping the area for life signs and keeping his eyes open for life endangerments::

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@::takes out his tricorder and tries to scan further into the radiation::

CSO_Cmdr_Kraight says:
CO: Aye, sir.  *COM* *Away Teams*: All away teams... deploy pattern enhancers to optimize transport speed. Lt. Chandra, please coordinate the placements.

ACTION - The sound of a large creak can be heard on the level above Adrienne and Nathan. The Civilian Captain looks up just in time to notice the bulkhead above him begin to collapse...

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: All ships will be receiving evacuees.  Your help in all areas would be greatly useful.

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::hears the noise and looks up::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: I will see what I can do... :: with a nod, turns to leave.::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: But I suspect that your medical expertise will be of most service.  We have severe radiation leaks over there.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@TO/Caine: Watch it!

ACTION - The Cerberus reports that they've reached their limit and have 581 evacuees aboard. The civilian ship turns and prepares to depart the region. Survivors begin to pour onto the Torto and Quirinus.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Pauses:: CO: Will they be beaming them over here or am I needed there?

CTO_Cmdr_Powers says:
:: Once the probes are ready, he sends out eight in a large cube with the Quirinus in the center ::

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::shoves Caine out of the way of the bulkhead and rolls to avoid the collapse::

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM: Cerebus:  Good luck.

CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
@XO: Sir there is no way to seal this leak.

ACTION - The bulkhead tears and the roof begins to fall down. Caine is shoved out of the way and Adrienne drops to the ground. The bulkhead lands a mere millimeter from her foot...

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: They are already arriving at medical and cargo where triage has been set up.

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CO: Then you will find me there... :: Steps into the lift::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
CPU: Computer, sickbay.

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::braces himself to react, but notices it just barely missed, and smirks:: TO: Just keep doing that, lieutenant. I patch you up any more there isn't gonna be any of the original you left.

XO_Cmdr_Pangborn says:
@CEO: Then fall back

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@Caine: You okay?

 CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::REB::Self: I knew we would.

 CEO_LtJg_Chandra says:
@::Checks a console for the status of the self destruct program::

 Capt_Nathan_Caine says:
@::He nods and checks to ensure that his EVA helmet is secure:: TO: Thanks to you...::He gives a smile::...Yes. ::He stands and holds out his hand to help Adrienne up::

TO_Lt_Kostandinos-Michaels says:
@::takes the outstretched hand and stands up:: Caine: Glad I could help ::smiles::

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Arriving in sickbay, collects the needed gear before heading down to the cargo bay and triage.::

MO_Ltjg_Jervase says:
@::casts a look around, making sure no other parts of decking are about to land on someone's head, then returns his attention to the group::

ACTION - The U.S.S. Quirinus and U.S.S. Torto continue to bring evacuees aboard while the S.S. Cerberus makes their way to the edge of the region and goes to warp. At that moment sensors on the Q detect multiple explosions on the station as several power relays, worn from damage, begin to collapse and implode...
