<Jan> Scorpius 10010.14    Episode 1    Pursuit

<Jan> <<<<<<<Start Mission>>>>>

<Jan> <<<<<<<Scorpius has been traveling at high warp for 1 week and is now about a day from the probe positions>>>>>>

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::At Station::

<FCO_Vince> ::at the helm::

<TO_Thompson> ::in quarters::

<CEO_AQilla> ::in ME monitoring warp engines::

<XO_VanSickle> ::seated in XO's chair, looking over PADD of mission progress::

<CSO_Shiar> :: at science station thinking if he should carry an extra firearm::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Looks over PADDs and PADDs of tactical data::

<CO_TPaula> FCO: ETA?

<FCO_Vince> ::Wielding D'K tagh and Mek'leth today::

<TO_Thompson> *CTO* want a break?

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> *TO* Yes, you can also get started on some of these PADDs

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Picks up another padd::

<FCO_Vince> CO:  We should be arriving at the probes coordinates in a couple of minutes

<TO_Thompson> *CTO* be right there.

<TO_Thompson> ::walks out of quarters to the TL::

<TO_Thompson> TL>Bridge.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> *TO* acknowledged

<CSO_Shiar> :: looks over scans of the area::

<XO_VanSickle> ::looks over mission objectives::

<CEO_AQilla> ::looks over the mission and prepares Engineering::

<TO_Thompson> TL>::stops at bridge walks out::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Sees TO::

<XO_VanSickle> CO: I hope we have sufficient training against the Borg.

<CO_TPaula> XO: I hope we won't need it.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: You can started on these while I do the rest ::Hands the TO a pile of pads::

<XO_VanSickle> CO: Of course, those transwarp signatures could be the Voyager.  I've heard that ship has utilized some Borg technology on its way home.

<CO_TPaula> XO: Hm.

<TO_Thompson> ::starts to look over the PADDs::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Neels down and opens hatch, and gets out phaser rifle::

<TO_Thompson> CTO: how much reading do they think we can do in one day.

<XO_VanSickle> CO: Should I have Sorauk distribute phasers to all crew members to be safe?

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Hmm....

<CEO_AQilla> ::programs the computer to rotate shield harmonics if required::

<XO_VanSickle> CO: Or swords?

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Just see how much you can do

<CO_TPaula> XO: Crewmembers should be armed, but I think swords are... unnecessary.

<TO_Thompson> CTO: can i have a phaser just in case.

<FCO_Vince> CO:  It's not a bad idea, though

<XO_VanSickle> CO: Well, since the Borg adapt quickly to energy weapons, I figured swords 
or projectile weapons could work.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Starts to make adjustments to make it fire a different frequency each blast::

<CSO_Shiar> FCO: I’d like to see them try to adapt to a sword in the belly

<CO_TPaula> XO: Perhaps we should arm the security forces with projectile weapons then.

<FCO_Vince> CSO:  Or getting beheaded

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Yes ::Hands TO a small hand phaser and gets back to work on his phaser rifle::

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: Sorauk, do you have any pistols, shotguns or bullet rifles in your arsenal?

<CSO_Shiar> FCO: yeah

<TO_Thompson> ::puts down the first two PADDs:: CTO: only 20 left to go.

<TO_Thompson> CTO: this type 1 or 2.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Bullets, I am not familiar with this word

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Neels back down and gets a large serrated knife from compartment and sticks it in holster around his lower leg::

<CEO_AQilla> ::takes phaser from locker and resets it to rotate frequencies::

<CSO_Shiar> :: finishes with phaser and tests the blade on his dagger::

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: Once you found appropriate bullet-based weapons, have the replicators produce enough for the entire crew.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: Understood

<CSO_Shiar> CTO: an uzy will do me

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: I'll take an M-16 and a Wolper PPK.

<TO_Thompson> ::puts down 20 padd's:: CTO:I'm done with my padd's.

<TO_Thompson> CTO: give me a machine gun::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: I'm afarid you'll haft to let me know what these terms are

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: Look them up in the database.

<TO_Thompson> XO:i will do the weapons.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Well done, now report to your station until further notice

<TO_Thompson> CTO:if that is ok with you.

<FCO_Vince> TO:  I'll take a pair of 357 Magnums

<CSO_Shiar> CTO: will you need some help.  i studied 20th century weapons in the academy

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: As you wish

<XO_VanSickle> CTO/TO; You two coordinate with each other in the production of those 
weapons.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: Yes sir

<CSO_Shiar> <TO>

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> CSO: Understood, follow us

<XO_VanSickle> CSO: ::after hearing what he said:: Go ahead and help.

<TO_Thompson> CTO:i will get the bridge. CSO:we could us it.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Walks to nearest replicator::

<TO_Thompson> ALL:what do you all want.

<CSO_Shiar> XO: may i?

<XO_VanSickle> ::Nods at the CSO::

<CSO_Shiar> TO: 2 uzies

<TO_Thompson> ::puts all the weapons they want down carefully on a padd::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Study's data base on 20th century weapons::

<XO_VanSickle> TO: Oh, make sure my ammo is hollow-point bullets.

<TO_Thompson> XO:aye,sir.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Replicates a MK-47::

<CSO_Shiar> :: goes to help TO::

<FCO_Vince> XO:  Excellent idea Sir, it'll take fewer shots to keep them down

<XO_VanSickle> TO: With a microton neuclear warhead, if possible.  I like to see them Borg go boom.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: Permission to go to the hollow deck to test the weapon?

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: Granted.

<TO_Thompson> CSO:get some of the lowerdecks i will get the others. XO:sure, sir.

<CSO_Shiar> TO:  going

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::walks to TL::

<XO_VanSickle> ::regrets what he just said, his vedic principles nagging at his desire to do his duty::

<FCO_Vince> ::monitors course heading::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Exits TL at holodeck::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Fires weapon and gets jerked back::

<TO_Thompson> ::walks to TL:: Computer:aromory.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> Self: hmm

<TO_Thompson> ::exits TL::

<XO_VanSickle> CO: If I may, ma'am, I'm going to see how Sorauk is doing in the holodeck.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Walks back to replicator and looks over data base some more::

<CO_TPaula> ::nods permission to VanSickle::

<XO_VanSickle> ::exits bridge, enters TL:: Computer: Holodeck 1.

<CSO_Shiar> :: enters TL:: Comp: deck 7
<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> Self: I shall try this

<XO_VanSickle> ::TL arrives near HD1::

<CSO_Shiar> Self: diomand tipped bullets wil do

<TO_Thompson> FCO:yep.

<FCO_Vince> TO:  Awesome

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: Yes, I changed and mixed data from different weapons and came out with this

<TO_Thompson> CO:ma'ma were is the XO.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: It is a auto load mini rocket launcher

<XO_VanSickle> Computer: Wolper PPK and hollow-point bullets.

<CO_TPaula> TO: I believe he went to the holodeck.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Fires missile at holotarget nad missile explodes::

<XO_VanSickle> ::takes the Wolper and fires at the target::

<XO_VanSickle> CTO/TO: Makes me feel like James Bond.

<CSO_Shiar> :: walks onto bridge::

<TO_Thompson> ::takes out his weapons one grenade launcher, rocket launcher and 2 machine guns::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: James Bond?

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: Fictional superspy from the mid 20th century, created by British author 
Ian Flemming.

<TO_Thompson> TO:video game charcter and movie charcter from the 19 hundreds

<CEO_AQilla> *CO*:  Engineering to bridge

<FCO_Vince> *TO*:  Vince to Thompson, I just realized something.  Did you rep. me holsters for these revolvers?

<CO_TPaula> *CEO*: Yes, Lieutenant?

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: Acknowledged

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: Bond, James Bond, agent 007, on Her Majesty's Secret Service, license to kill.

<CEO_AQilla> *CO*:  We're ready down here.  Do you need me on the Bridge?

<TO_Thompson> *FCO*check the bag i gave you it has ammo and the holsters.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: I'll haft to look over this James Bond

<FCO_Vince> *TO*:  Thanks.  ::checks bag::

<TO_Thompson> XO:didn't want a golden gun, sir.

<CO_TPaula> *CEO*: There's no specific need at the moment.

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: You'll have to look through a few dozen novels and about 15 movies.

<XO_VanSickle> TO: The man with the golden gun was a bad guy.

<CEO_AQilla> *CO*:  Acknowledged.  Engineering out.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> XO: Understood

<TO_Thompson> XO:yea but in Multiplayer in goldeneye Bond could use the golden gun and in single player in cheat mode only though.

<TO_Thompson> CTO:and 2 video games.

<XO_VanSickle> TO: I don't think I have played that video game.

<TO_Thompson> ::tests the rocket launcher::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Acknowledged

<XO_VanSickle> ::takes the M-16 and fires at the target::

<TO_Thompson> XO:you should try it some time, sir.

<XO_VanSickle> ::many bullets riddle the target::

<XO_VanSickle> ::self:: What a rush!

<FCO_Vince> ::sharpens D'k tagh::

<XO_VanSickle> TO: Make sure this gets to my quarters.  I'm taking this Wolper with me to the bridge.

<TO_Thompson> ::goes crazy and fires all the rockets at once::

<TO_Thompson> XO:aye,sir.

<XO_VanSickle> CTO/TO: Carry on with the tests.

<TO_Thompson> XO:me have to pass out some more weapons.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> Computer:one borg target::Tests machine gun attachment on borg target::

<XO_VanSickle> ::exits HD1 and goes to a TL:: Computer: Bridge.

<CEO_AQilla> ::monitors minor damage being caused to the holodeck::

<Jan> _<<<As Scorpius approaches the first probe position, they find the probes are missing with no trace>>>>>

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Plugs drone with bullet holes::

<FCO_Vince> ::slows to impulse::

<CSO_Shiar> CO: some probes are missing

<XO_VanSickle> ::arrives at the bridge, exits::

<XO_VanSickle> CO: Looks like the projectile weapons will work fine.

<CO_TPaula> ::nods to XO::

<CO_TPaula> CSO: Any debris?
<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> Self: Time to test my knife

<FCO_Vince> CO:  We're arriving at the coordinates

<CSO_Shiar> CO: nothing

<CO_TPaula> CSO: Residual energy signatures?

<CO_TPaula> FCO: Set a course for the next probe station.

<TO_Thompson> ::walks around the ship passing out weapons stopping to put XO's weapon in his quarter walks to nearest TL:: Computer Bridge.

<CSO_Shiar> CO: there's no trace of the probes

<CEO_AQilla> ::looks at the projectile weapon she has just received::

<CO_TPaula> FCO: And engage.  CSO: Keep an eye on LRS.

<FCO_Vince> CO:  Aye  ::sets couse for next probe::

<XO_VanSickle> ::goes to tactical until either CTO or TO return::

<TO_Thompson> ::walks to TAC:: XO:my backpack fells lighter now the weapon is despoited,sir.

<FCO_Vince> ::Engages::

<TO_Thompson> XO:I am here.

<CSO_Shiar> CO: there is a lot of somekind of interference blocking sensors.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Exits HD1 and walks toward TL7::

<XO_VanSickle> TO: Keep an eye for any activity that may be Borgish.

<TO_Thompson> XO:aye,sir.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> Computer: Computer, bridge

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Exits TL1 and enters bridge and heads to station::

<TO_Thompson> CTO:get tried of blowing up borg here i made this for you, sir. ::passes CTO a golden gun::

<CO_TPaula> FCO: ETA?

<TO_Thompson> CTO:only shoot that at borg one hit your dead.

<FCO_Vince> CO:  We're just arriving... now

<FCO_Vince> ::slows to impulse::

<CO_TPaula> CSO: Any sign of the probes?

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Acknowledged, altho, you need a gun so you may keep it

<CO_TPaula> CSO: Speculate: what's the source of the interference?

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: I have my own, but thank you anyways

<FCO_Vince> CO:  A conduit is opening 500 kilometers to our port!

<CSO_Shiar> CO:A conduit is opening up.....500k port of Scorpius!_!

<Jan> _<<<<<< A transwarp Conduit opens….a Borg cube exits heading right for Scorpius at high warp…there is no communication>>>>>>

<TO_Thompson> CTO:I have 2 grenade launchers, 2 rocket launchers, 2 cougar magums, and 2 golden guns.

<FCO_Vince> ::OSM, big time::

<CO_Tpaula> FCO: Take us to a safer distance, engage.

<XO_VanSickle> ::hangs on for FCO's OSM::

<FCO_Vince> CO:  Aye Captain

<Jan> _<<<<<The Borg ship warps right by Scorpius………the conduit reopens…>>>>>>>>>

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: that is ok, I’ll be fine

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> CO: Should I arm weapons?

<CO_Tpaula> CSO: Can you get any readings on that ship?

<XO_VanSickle> FCO: And my old crew thought _I_ was a crazy driver.

<FCO_Vince> ::moves Scorpius away from cube at full impulse::

<Jan> _<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<A small ship exits…..orange pod like ship…it follows the Borg 
cube>>>>>>>>>>

<CO_Tpaula> CTO: Just full shields.

<Jan> _<<<<<<Both ships ignore Scorpius>>>>>>>>
<FCO_Vince> CO:  Shall I pursue?

<CO_Tpaula> FCO: At a discreet distance.  Yes.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Puts sheilds to full::

<Jan> _<<<<<<The small orange ship fires on the Borg vessel….it’s energy beam creates a 
hole right through the entire ship>>>>>>>>

<FCO_Vince> CO:  Understood 

<XO_VanSickle> CO: Did you see that?

<CO_Tpaula> XO: What?

<XO_VanSickle> CSO: Can you get a reading on what that weapon was?

<Jan> _<<<<<The Orange ship turns back towards Scorpius>>>>>>>>>>

<FCO_Vince> ::Plots pursuit course and engages::

<CSO_Shiar> Self: wow

<XO_VanSickle> CO: That smaller ship just fired a hole right into the cube.

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> ::Scans weapon signature::

<CO_Tpaula> XO: Yes.

<FCO_Vince> ::Jaw drops at sight of hole in cube::

<Jan> _<<<<<Another Transwarp conduit opens…. A Borg Sphere appears and immediately fires on the Pod……>>>>>>

<CO_Tpaula> FCO: Keep our distance.

<XO_VanSickle> FCO: Watch it!  That ship is coming right at us.
<FCO_Vince> ::Backs off::

<Jan> _<<<<<<<<<<Fire from both ships pass cloes enough to Scorpius to disrupt it’s warp capabilities…Scxoprius drops out of warp>>>>>>>>>

<FCO_Vince> ::Maintaining safe distance::

<XO_VanSickle> CO: I think we should report this to SFC.

<CEO_Aqilla> ::checks Engines for damage as the Ship suddenly drops from warp::

<CO_TPaula> XO: Agreed.  Have a transmission sent.

<CSO_Shiar> :: tries to scan the pod::

<CTO_Vajeeta_Sorauk> TO: Check the sheilds

<FCO_Vince> ::Tries to get the Scorpius the hell out of the way!::

<TO_Thompson> CTO:sheilds holding.

<XO_VanSickle> CTO: Send a transmission to SFC, tell them we have sighted a cube and a sphere engaging a pod of some sort.
