Host SteveG says:
Last time on the Quirinus. The crew found themselves face to face with what appeared to be a Jem'Hadar fleet, when in reality it was only just one ship a small scout.

Host SteveG says:
<<<<<RESUME MISSION>>>>>
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::on bridge:: Ops: Open channel to the scout ship.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: On the bridge, watching, waiting...::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::walks onto the bridge after finally leaving sickbay:: CO: My apologies for my absence Captain, the duty nurse was a bit over cautious, may I inquire to our current status?  ::steps to attention near him::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: Weapons disabled on the Jem'Hadar scout ship and we are now warp capable.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::nods and takes his position at the conn:: CO: Orders Sir?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*CO*: Sir, you got it all sir. Warp power is now online.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: Take your position.  I wish to talk to the Vorta commander a bit.  It is curious that a single scout ship is so far out.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::ponders the Captain:: CO: I woudn't expect Dominion territory to extend this far.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Jem'Hadar ship: This is Captain Sulek.  Please respond.
Host Relarn says:
COM:Qurinus: What do you want now?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: Perhaps, they know something about this space that we do not.  The DS9 wormhole may not be the only anomaly out here.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::checks over systems:: Crewman: Get those EPS conduits checked and then I need you to check the injector flow regulators with a quick scan and make sure they are ok.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
COM Relarn:  How exactly does a single scout ship with less than Starship level warp capability, find its way so far from home?
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::goes over his console and eyes the Vorta::
Host Relarn says:
ACTION: a Jem'Hadar attack vessel decloaks behind the scout ship
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
TO: Shields at full and scan...let's make sure this one too is not a decoy.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: Prepare evasives.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Alpha Team: Look over the matter/anit-matter mix and check the calculations.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Tactical: Red Alert.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::notices the blip appear on his proximity sensors, sets controls to manual:: CO: Aye Sir . .
Host Relarn says:
ACTION: The Attack class vessel opens fire on the Quirinus taking a pot shot over her starboard nacelle

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::gets an alert on the console and looks to see that there is a Jem'Hadar warship on sensors in addition to the scout ship::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::alert is followed by a drain in power to the shields and weapons for Red Alert::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
ALL: Ok people, battle stations.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::initiates a hard roll to port to help avoid a hit:: CO: Hard a port Captain.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Lifts a brow::  CO: That is not an illusion... but why?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
Bravo Team: Re-route all available power to shields and standby to shunt power to weapons on command, give me a 15 percent buffer.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: I don't think we wish to find out.  Theron: Get us out of here, maximum warp.  Engage.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
ALL: Everyone else I will be on the bridge, on your toes, ACEO you have Engineering.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::heads to TL:: TL: Bridge.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::initiates previous course to Bajoran Wormhole and engages the warp drive:: CO: Aye Sir, previous course heading engaged.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::arrives on Bridge:: XO: Reporting for duty on Bridge.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::activates his station::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::sees the star field suddenly accelerate:: TO: Scans...are they giving pursuit?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO*: Report.
Host Relarn says:
<TO_Simple>:No they're not at the moment sir.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: All is quiet on the western front, sir. We have completed the requests you gave us.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: Maintain maximum warp for 10 minutes and then drop to warp 8.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::turns his chair around:: CO: We're in for a long journey even at maximum warp Sir, but its going to be hard to investigate the cause of all this with the Dominion around.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO*: Get teams checking out Deflector control and shield emitters. Then I want you to get every once of juice out of that core for maximum warp, push it.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: Understood, sir.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Azhure: If there is one battle ship in the area, there will be more and we can be sure they know we are here.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: If I may, sir...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron:  Unfortunately, we cannot maintain maximum warp for mor than short bursts.
Host Relarn says:
ACTION: The Quirinus suddenly loses warp drive and is dead in the water

CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:. Nods, just watching.::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Yes?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::watches as the ship drops suddenly from warp:: Theron: What just happend?
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::as he begins to set auto pilot, he lurches forward as the Q drops from warp:: CO: I'm not sure Captain, wasn't initiated by me . . . checking . . .
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I could have the sensors modified and expand our search range a few more light years and tune them to hunt out any more cloaked ships.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Fine, but we need to know what just happened to warp and impulse.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Already working on it.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::sighs heavily, Kayle is so tired of this engine business:: CO: Impulse is out too, we arent going anywhere at the moment,
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO*: Report on propulsion.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Tactical: do we still have shields and weapons?
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
SO: Scan the area for external cause possibilities.
Host Relarn says:
<TO Simple>: CO: Yes shields and weapons still active.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO>*CEO*: Standby, sir. Checking ::background chatter:: ALL: Level 3 Diagnostic now, full scan, everything, now!
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Simple: Keep up scans for enemy vessels.  At least we are not totally defenceless.
Host Relarn says:
<TO Simple> CO: Yes sir. Long and short range scans active. Nothing on them as yet.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> ::gets scan results back:: *CEO*: Sir, there is something off in the intermix chamber, I am going to get a more detailed scan resolution to find out what is going on.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Have ACEO do visual check of the chamber as well.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Aye.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO*: While you run scans have yourself and a team check out the core itself and make sure visually everything is fine, no leaks or cracks. Also check the containment field.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: Understood.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Well whatever it is sir, we will find it. It seems from my readings here that the problem has to be in the chamber, everything else but that checks out.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: Uh...sss....iiirr ::shaken:: uhhh....hhh.h...
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO*: Spit it out son.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: They are gone, sir, the crystals. All of it they are all gone.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::in shock:: *ACEO* Repeat your last, what did you say?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: They are gone, sir!!!!!!
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::turns to face the CO: CO: Something is playing with us like a rag doll it seems Sir, between the visions and being tossed out here . .
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: under her breath::  Someone is playing with us...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::turning as he hears the report to Telarus:: SO: Scans.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I am going to try to get more information regarding our current situation.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Understood.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO* I need time estimates on main power now.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: Aye, give me a few minutes sir.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
CO: Sir, if I may, missing crystals doesnt explain why we dont have the impulse drive or thrusters either . . .
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
SO: Check for phased spacial anomaly  ::something about this nags at his memory::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Check all connections to impulse and thrusters.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: I have the answer to that. ::looks at panel::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Our fusion reactors have been drained.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: All power sources on the ship have been taken?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Sir recommendations, drop shields and weapons, disable all non-essential systems immeadiately.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *Bridge*: This is the ACEO come in.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Agreed.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
::begins implementing recommendations::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Without a word, quietly stands up and slips into the captains ready room.  As the doors close behind her, she turns toward the window.::  Q: Show yourself... enough is enough.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO* Go ahead.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::goes over his starcharts and crosses them with scans of the area attempting to find any bases or habitable planets nearby:: CO: Sir Im checking for any structures or habitable planets nearby, if we can get the shuttles going in case we need to evacuate, maybe even find the cause.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Check the reactors in the shuttles.  They weren't active, maybe we can salvage from them.

CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO*: Sir, main power failure in two hours. Recommend minimal power plan.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Aye sir, I will send my Alpha Team down there and check them out.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO* Already done.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: crosses her arms and sighs as if trying to gather patience with a child.::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
CO: Sir theres an planet about 10000km away, barely M-Class, but habitable.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I have one more suggestion. I have a time table to main power failure. We could possibly push another hour and I use possibly maybe even two. We have to evac all non-essential areas and shut down life support to them.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telarus: Do it
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
Q: Is there a reason you remain hidden?  I know you are here and most of this is your handiwork.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: If we depressurize shuttle and cargo bays at the right intervals, can we give ourselves a push in the right direction?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*Alpha Team* To the Shuttle Bay. I need to know if you can salvage power from the shuttles.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::raises his eyebrow with an almost Vulcan like quality:: CO: In theory, yes . . . but would take time, I dont think I can make precise calculations on that to coincide with how much power and life support we have left, it would be gamble I believe.  ::thinks:: CO: But a worthwhile one.  ::turns to his console to run the scenario:::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: After a moment, walks over to the replicator::  Q: Would you like something to drink?
Host SteveG says:
ACTION: Silence to the question posed by the CNS
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Orders some fruit juice.  As it appears, she takes it out and walks over to the couch to settle down.::  Q: I had thought the continuum had come to a consensus to remain seperate from the... what was the word once used?  ahhh yes... lesser beings.
Host Q says:
CNS: Well that has been rescinded.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: takes a slow sip of her drink before responding.:: Q: It has?  As of when?  I am most curious to the details.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::turns to Sulek:: CO: Im pretty sure I can get us there Captain . . shall I begin?
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Sends a mental impression to Sulek of the situation.::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ALL*: Attention all hands. Evacuate Secondary Hull to Primary Hull, except Decks 2 and 8. All on Decks 2 and 8 Evac to Deck 5 or other areas as designated by your department heads.
Host Q says:
CNS: Well Okay..... IT hasn't officially been rescinded...
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: Let's see what Engineering finds in the shuttles.  If we can get enough power from the shuttles, it may not be necessary.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Evac in progress sir. Should be 20 minutes.

Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Theron: But at least we have an option.
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::nods to the CO then turns back to his console::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Telaurs: Understood.  Report as soon as you know about the shuttles.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
Q: Then the ruling is still in place.
Host Q says:
CNS: Officially yes, but I'm stretching it.. Cause I need practice
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Aye.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Looks unconcernedly out the window.::  Q: Practice for what?
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Sir I have a report from my Alpha Team, they say we can salvage power, they are going to transfer it over now ETA 12 minutes to drain them out.
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: Putting the glass down on the table, she turns and curls up on the couch.::
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
*ACEO*: I want a multi-spectrum scan for our dilithium crystals, start the scan at the core and work your way out as far as you can go in range.
Host Q says:
CNS: Nothing you need to be concerned about now.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he suddenly looks up...he hears something...Azhure:: Telarus: Ummm, yes, get on it. ::he rises:: Theron: I'll be in my ready room.  You have the con.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
<ACEO> *CEO* Right away. ::runs::
FCO_Cmdr_Theron says:
::stands from his station:: CO: Aye Sir. ::watches the Captain move hastily to his ready room as he takes the command seat::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
Q: If I am involved, it is my concern.  We are the keepers of lore... as it has been long before the continuum.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
::he crosses to the door to RR: and enters:: Azhure: I felt...::he stops dead just inside the doorway:: Q: I should have known.
CEO_Lt_Telarus says:
CO: Understood, sir. ::puzzled look at the Captain's sudden change in look::
Host Q says:
CO: Captain: Good to see you again :: smiles softly ::
CNS_Cmd_Azhure says:
:: watches the two::
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Q: I do not think that I could say the same.  Only you would come up with demons. Do you plan on returning my power supply?
Host Q says:
Q: I may or may not. I quite like having you all out this way.
Host CO_Capt_Sulek says:
Q: It would also be nice to return to our sector.
Host Q says:
CO: In due time.
