Host Gerry says:
USS Scorpius NCC 50666

Host Gerry says:
10305.24

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius has been relieved of her responsibilities at Wrigley's Pleasure Planet.

Host Gerry says:
She has been ordered to rendezvous with a task force in the Mymar sector and proceed to the Hibernia Sector and the Kol'Qos system in search of K'Rass, the terrorist responsible for the attack on Wrigley's.

Host Gerry says:
K'Rass is also reported to have a banned subspace weapon that seems to have overcome the firing instability of isolitic weapons, but intelligence on the engineering of the weapon is limited.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Let's have it.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to OPS::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Shut down every single non-essential program.  Route all that power to shields and weapons control.  On this mission, nothing can interfere with tactical systems.

OPS-Anari says:
CO/XO: I'd like to take the ship to Grey mode.  I can reroute the extra power to shields and tactical

:: Nods to the CO and CTO and turns back around.  Begins to shut down power to external lights ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Lt, can you make up a list of all the systems that we can shut down, and how much extra power that will give to tactical?

OPS-Anari says:
CTO:  I'll do you one better sir...I'll get you that extra power you need

CEO_Bodine says:

CEO_Bodine says:
::nods in thanks::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  How long till intercept?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
OPS: Torpedo launchers don’t need the extra power, but the phaser banks can use all you can give, as well as the shield generators.

::hears the TO and moves to her::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  So what's the plan?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: How are you feeling Starsha?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: We need to increase our power output to as high as we can make it.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Other than the obvious: Kill K'Rass?

CEO_Bodine says:
TO: How do you feel? :: acknowledges the CMO's arrival :: CMO: Sir!

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: What are you trying to simulate that isn’t working?

CNS_McDonald says:
::keeps an open mind to the crew :: 

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Why, Mr. Bodine, I'm pregnant not changing genders. ::grins:: Ma'am is fine.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I mean with the Task Force, Sir.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Our simulations have been programmed with current power output, and the enemy seems to overpower us that way.

TO_Lane says:
::looks up at the CEO & CMO:: CMO/CEO:  Like I've been laying in one position for a year.... that and a hangover like headache.

CEO_Bodine says:
CMO: I will leave you two I have other work to do.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees a light flashing on her console ::   CO: Captain, we are being hailed

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Sorry for the delay, we are still a few minutes away from intercept.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CEO: Lt......John, thank you so much for your help on Wrigley’s.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Remember when the Enterprise foiled the Romulan plot into the Klingon Civil War?

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Relax, a solution will always present itself.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I understand, Lt.  You have a lot to accomplish.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: We need to get you moving.  You feel like getting up for a while?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: On screen.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I do.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Pushes a few buttons ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I was going to have us do the same.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: I know, Sir.  But I am also a bit on edge right now.  I received some rather unsettling news from my mother’s family on the Klingon Home World.

OPS-Anari says:
CO: Viewscreen on, sir

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  a blockade ....

TO_Lane says:
::nods:: CMO: I would like that.  What did I do that needed these restraints?

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Is everything ok?

TO_Lane says:
CMO:  Did I try to hurt someone?

CEO_Bodine says:
CMO: My duty Sir.  TO: Good to see you dong better :: heads to Engineering::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: standing up taking the an eye on the screen :: 

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: No, with different senior officers from here command each ship.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: I can't bring myself to speak of it right now, Sir.  Sorry.

TO_Lane says:
CEO: Thank you, sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: You got delirious on me.  I wish I was Betazoid, I could have known what it was.

Host Gerry says:
@COMM: Scorpius: CO:  Captain Johnson of the USS Typhoon, Captain.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Continues to shut down all non-essential systems noting the extra power and rerouting that to shields and tactical ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Do you remember having any nightmares? ::removes the restraints::

TO_Lane says:
::sits up slowly after the restraints are released:: CMO: I remember dreaming that I was back home with my parents.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Hmm, bad memories maybe?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Typhoon: Greetings Capt. Johnson.  Capt. Eric VanSickle of the Scorpius and task force commander.

TO_Lane says:
CMO: It was like they were after me again for something they claimed I had done.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sends a message to the CTO's console advising power allotment priority to tactical...power from systems equaling nearly an extra 75% at this time ::

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: So we need to be able to increase power to take that weapon out correct?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::reads the message from OPS, and smiles a bit::

TO_Lane says:
CMO: Yes, any thoughts or dreams about my parents is a nightmare.  Waking or sleeping.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: After you...Again?  Sounds like a rough childhood.  You need to talk?

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sends a message to the CEO advising of which systems have been shut down and where the extra power has been re-routed ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::places her hand on the TO's shoulder::

Host Gerry says:
<Johnson> @COM: Scorpius:  CO:  So I understand.  Captain, the USS Antares and USS Rigel will need line officers to take command.  I can staff them, but I wanted to hear what you wanted to do first.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Yes, Sir.  We need the extra power to take out the lead ships carrying the weapon.  But, I just received word that tactical power has increased by 75%.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Johnson: I have several in mind for each ship from my senior staff... including yours.

TO_Lane says:
CMO: I'd rather not remember it, but it seems like things keep happening lately that bring the memories back.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::listens with interest to the conversation::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Admiral Taylor enters the bridge.

TO_Lane says:
CMO:  I guess that it's true that you can't run away from your past, even when your past sends you away.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: snaps to  as the admiral enters :

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
All: Admiral on the bridge.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: I understand that.  My childhood wasn't exactly smooth either.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::turns to see the admiral:: ADM: Admiral, we've arrived at the taskforce.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the Admiral::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Actually, I will be retiring to the Typhoon, Captain.   There will be no need to replace Captain Johnson.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Stands at the announcement of the Admiral ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ALL:  As you were.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Nods to the Admiral and re-takes her seat focusing again on her console ::

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: So maybe we should try to increase the destructive yield of the torpedoes.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, I was planning on having one of the Cmdr. Horns command her, with the Antares taking the other.

TO_Lane says:
CMO: We studied some of the history of Bajor at the Academy.  I don't see how anyone survived that without serious emotional scarring.

CEO_Bodine says:
:: enters engineering and realizes he still needs to tactical data routed to the diagnostic console in main engineering ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: It's okay to talk to the CNS.  I wish he was here when I was dealing with my life during the occupation.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Who says I'm not scarred?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: I am one step ahead of you there, Sir.  I have a team working on increasing the warhead output as we speak.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Captain, I see your thinking.  I'd like Captain Johnson where he is.  However, the Cyclone could use a combat-experienced officer at the conn.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: I trained you well T'Lok.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: I've just learned to use what is there to....to....::sneezes:: to the benefit of my patients.

TO_Lane says:
CMO: I'm not saying that, but you hide it well.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: OPS is giving all extra power to our shields and phaser outputs as well.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: I was also thinking of having Cmdr. Vince take the Tsunami and Lt. Garta-Nmbarri taking the Cyclone.  CIV: You want to take the Cyclone?

TO_Lane says:
::smiles:: CMO: I understand.

CEO_Bodine says:
*XO*: I need the stats from the briefing to be declassified so I can work on some sort of repellent can you have OPS please transfer the files to ME sir?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::smiles:: CIV: Of course you did, Sir.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: So what kind of output can we get from the deflector dish?

CIV_Horn says:
::Looks up at the CO:: CO: Yes sir!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: The past can hurt us or further us when it comes to Starfleet careers, not to mention personal life.  Do you think I could be married to a Klingon if the Occupation hadn't toughened me a bit? ::grins::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Deflector array is running at peak efficiency right now.  But some of that extra power will be routed there as well.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  I see your thinking...but not the Typhoon.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  One moment, Lt.  OPS:  Can you send the information from the briefing sent to Engineering please.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::looks at the CO:: CO: Sir?

TO_Lane says:
::chuckles at the doctor's comment:: CMO: You have a point there. 

OPS-Anari says:
:: Prepares the stats for the CEO and sends them to his console ::   *CEO*: Those stats should be there now, as well as a list of what systems I have shut down so the extra power can be utilized by tactical

OPS-Anari says:
XO: Already done, ma'am

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Come on, let's get you out of bed. ::turns to help the TO sit up::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  Beware of stretching your own bridge crew too thin.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: watching the events unfold around him :: 

TO_Lane says:
CMO:  I'm going to have to find an outlet, and you're right the Counselor is good to talk to.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  The information should be available already, Lt.  You have everything we know.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Sir, I wanted to give some of my senior officers some command experience.

TO_Lane says:
::slides out of bed and feels a little shaky for just a moment before getting her feet under her:: CMO:  This feels better.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Try simulations with EMP's being emitted from the dish.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Notes the absence of the science officer and slaves her console to OPS ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  and I like the thought.  But not the Typhoon, Captain.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: The other four ships are OK then?

TO_Lane says:
CMO: What have I missed while I was out if it?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Will do, Sir.  Between now and the time we meet the enemy, I intend to run every possible scenario.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::puts a hand around the TO's shoulders::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Just a bunch of bad news.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  By all means.

CEO_Bodine says:
Computer: Direct all diagram and tactical data to the main diagnostics console.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
XO: AQilla, you'll take command of the Antares.

TO_Lane says:
CMO:  I think I'm glad that I was out of it... what do I need to know?

CNS_McDonald says:
:: knows he won’t be taking command of a ship :: 

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Aye, Sir

CEO_Bodine says:
:: puts his head on the desk waiting for the data to load ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Wrigley's was attacked by a long time enemy of the Scorpius.  We are heading to deal with him.  We're supposed to be hooking up with some other ships soon to help us.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: Just remember we don’t need to destroy that weapon right off, we just need to make sure it can’t fire.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CO:  I was just about to advise you that I have need of the Typhoon for a very quick diversion.  I will be departing immediately and returning within the hour to the task force.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
ADM: Aye sir.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: speaks up :: ADM: sir are you heading for a star base?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Shoot for the stars, Sir.  That way, if we do take out the weapon right away, then that’s just sauce for the goose, as they say.

CEO_Bodine says:
<Computer> CEO: Files have been loaded to the desired location you may access them now.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
COM: Typhoon: Johnson:  One to beam over.

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: And if we fail destroying it we could have problems.

TO_Lane says:
::nods:: CMO: It sounds like they are going to need all hands on the bridge.  What do you think?  Do I need more down time, or do I head back to the bridge?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::wonders what the Admiral is up to::

CIV_Horn says:
CTO: If we cripple it then we have time on our side.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: T'Lok, you'll take over the Tsunami.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
CNS:  I will not be.  ::dematerializes::

CEO_Bodine says:
:: lifts his head and rubs to ed spot now on his forehead ::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Encrypts all communications to be routed to her console for authorization ::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: steps to the command deck :: 

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Admiral dematerializes and transport to the Typhoon.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: We have the painkillers out of your system.  I think that if you call me to help you rather than trying to be independent about your recovery that you can go back to duty.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: That is why I am running all these simulations.  Hopefully, I can hit upon a way to take out the ships, then have what is needed for that weapon.

CEO_Bodine says:
Self/Computer diagram: Well you are a monster aren’t you.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Yes, lieutenant?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: I have given you something that won't affect you like the other did.  Just make sure you eat every few hours.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Will that leave you with someone experienced enough at tactical?

TO_Lane says:
::smiles and makes a small gesture with her hand:: CMO: I promise.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: I'm heading to the bridge myself.  Want to go with me?

TO_Lane says:
CMO: If nothing other than mugs of soup, I'll be sure to eat.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Yes... Me.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Good.

CEO_Bodine says:
Computer: based on available data can you determine whether the device is Particle weapon on projectile?

TO_Lane says:
::nods and starts out of sickbay:: CMO: Sounds good.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Sees a communication light on her console ::   CO: Sir, the Admiral Taylor is hailing us from the Typhoon

CNS_McDonald says:
:: does a double take :: CO: Captain?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Very good, Sir.  But just remember not to damage my phaser cannons. ::grins at the CO::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: On screen.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins ... remembers when she used to say that about her engines::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Pushes a few buttons ::   CO: Aye, sir...on screen now

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::grabs her medkit and heads out of sickbay::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I'd better get to my ship ... ::feels weird saying that::

TO_Lane says:
::walks to the turbolift and waits for the doors to open:: CMO: Who is this enemy we're dealing with?  What's he like?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::takes a deep breath:: XO: And I to mine.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send a message to Vince that he's to take over on the Rigel.

CNS_McDonald says:
~~~OPS: Are you getting the same uneasiness in the ship that I am~~~

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  Aye, sir

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<computer> CEO:  It is both.  A particle is re-enforced by a torpedo that is capable of generating a subspace shockwave of intense power.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Permission to disembark?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Good luck, Lt.  I know you'll do a fine job commanding her.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Thank you, Ma'am.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: He's Klingon and nasty.  He's been responsible for more deaths than I can count and takes pride in his work.

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ FCO: Vince, you are ordered by Captain VanSickle to take Command of the Rigel.  Be careful, my love. ~~~

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Permission granted, captain Garta-Nmbarri.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Typhoon moves off to port and the to warp...

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CNS: Yes, I am sir. It is...very disconcerting at times. ~~~

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands a bit taller upon hearing the CO's comment::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the turbolift and orders it to the bridge::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Good luck, Sir.

CNS_McDonald says:
~~~OPS: Your telling me. Let me know if you sense anything extremely out of the ordinary.~~~

OPS-Anari says:
:: Receives the FCO's reply ::   CO: The FCO is on his way, sir

TO_Lane says:
::frowns as she enters the turbolift:: CMO: That doesn't sound promising.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Just remember, OPS has routed 75% more power to the tactical systems.  I hope that will be enough.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Thank you.

TO_Lane says:
::mutters under her breath:: Self: Not at all.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: No, it isn't.  The universe won 't be safe until he's dead.

CEO_Bodine says:
Computer: Can you stipulate whether or not disabling  the particle stream would also stop the effects or power of the projectile?

OPS-Anari says:
~~~ CNS: I'll try to remember that, sir. ~~~

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: But, we can take him.  We have to.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: aye sir. 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: No, just taking command for this mission.  I will be away from you for a while.  Please, be careful my love.

CIV_Horn says:
CO: I am on my way, just taking a moment.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Let me know when the new commanding officers signal in.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:   Promise me you won't take any unnecessary risks.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CMO: Let's go my dear.

CEO_Bodine says:
COMPUTER: Would the process be fully halted with the loss of just one of those ships?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Doctor...

OPS-Anari says:
CO: Aye, sir

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir?

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<Computer> CEO: Insufficient Data.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: Who me? ::grins::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Can you remain on the bridge as second officer?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::grins back:: CIV:  I know you too well, Russ.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::whispers into the CMO's ear:: CMO: Someone has to keep an eye on him, so that he doesn’t destroy my tactical systems. ::grins::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Yes, sir.  I can. ::moves back onto the bridge::

CNS_McDonald says:
:: nods to the CMO :: 

CIV_Horn says:
XO: You need to be careful.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: That's what you have Starsha for. ::grins::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: Everyone, take your stations. ::moves to tactical::

CIV_Horn says:
XO: You have the equipment for taking care of the baby.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  I will ... I have something special to come back to.

CNS_McDonald says:
::sits in the XO's chair :: 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks around before getting into the TL:: ALL: Q'Plah!

TO_Lane says:
::studies the simulations that the CTO had been running to get an idea of what they are up against::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the lift and orders it to the transporter room::

CEO_Bodine says:
COMPUTER: How is the power transferred to the weapon is it  shielded? and my previous inquiry. Without the particle stream will the projectile portion of  the weapon still pose a threat?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Captain, TO Lane is able to return to full duty.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves down and sits near the Command chair::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::feels the TL stop and exits heading for the transporter room::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CMO: Oh.

CIV_Horn says:
::Follows his wife::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::says a small prayer to the prophets for her husband and the others::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits the lift and heads for the transporter room::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<Computer>  the power seems to be provided at least in part by the surrounding ships.  Proportion unknown.  Second query, Insufficient data.  Unable to interpolate.

TO_Lane says:
::looks up at the CO:: CO: Can I help you, Sir?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
TO: I guess tactical is yours.  ::resumes center chair::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the transporter room and sees that the XO and CIV are still there::

TO_Lane says:
::nods:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: brings up the XO's console :: 

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: shall I see if we're ready to get underway?

TO_Lane says:
::continues studying the readouts and simulations::

CIV_Horn says:
::Pulls the XO off to the side::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: As soon as all four ship signal their readiness we'll shove off.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::feels herself being pulled::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO/CIV: If you don’t mind, I will go ahead of you two so you can talk.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Notes the TO back at the Tactical console and sends her a message advising extra power has been re-routed to tactical, bring it up to 85% additional power ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods to the CTO::

CIV_Horn says:
XO: AQilla, This is the most dangerous mission we have ever been on.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gets up on the transporter pad and requests to be beamed directly to the bridge of the Tsunami::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Don't worry ... I'm a soldier, remember?  I can take care of myself.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Houlihan* I'm remaining on the bridge.  Please make certain everything is ready.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CTO* Be safe.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: I have no idea what will happen.

TO_Lane says:
::makes sure that all the tactical systems are a go... notes the message from OPS and sends an acknowledgement::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Houlihan> *CMO* Aye Ma'am.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CMO* and you as well, my wife.

CIV_Horn says:
XO: Just in case I just wanted to tell you that I Love You.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Senses the tension from around the ship ::

CIV_Horn says:
::Kisses the XO::

CEO_Bodine says:
COMPUTER: I have to guess? Your not giving me enough to do on. I need to know MORE! Either we need a way to destroy the weapon itself find a way to prevent it from getting the extra power it needs or nullify the weapon once it is fired! Argg run a level 5 diagnostic on the data AGAIN then transfer results to the bridge.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
*Departing officers*: As soon as your aboard your respective ships, signal ready and set course for target coordinates.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  And I love you.  We will be together when this is all over.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Transporter Op: Energize.

CEO_Bodine says:
::heads to the turbolift::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Scorpius Officers are transported aboard their appointed ships...

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<Computer>  Functioning within acceptable parameters.  Please rephrase the question.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Notes the transport of all officers to their respective ships ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$::suddenly finds herself on her new ship ... assumes command as per this Stardate and takes the center chair::

CEO_Bodine says:
TL: bridge

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leans back and rubs her belly absentmindedly::

OPS-Anari says:
CO: Sir, all Scorpius officers have transported to their respective ships ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$COMM: Scorpius: Antares to Scorpius.

CIV_Horn says:
@:: Addresses the computer and takes command of the Cyclone::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#::beams aboard the Tsunami and takes the Big Chair::

CEO_Bodine says:
Computer: Just do the darn diagnostic scan make sure you didn't miss any data.

CIV_Horn says:
@COMM: Scorpius: Cyclone to Scorpius.

OPS-Anari says:
*XO* Scorpius here, Antares

Host ADM_Taylor says:
<Computer> Diagnostic complete.  Systems are functioning within normal parameters.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$COM: OPS: We're ready for departure.

TO_Lane says:
::continues her preparations and tries to prepare herself for what they will be facing::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#COMM: Tsunami to Scorpius.

CEO_Bodine says:
:: walks onto the bridge and heads to the remote engineering ops console and activates it.::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$COMM: OPS:  Please inform the Captain.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Patch me through to all four ships.

OPS-Anari says:
COM: Antares:  Acknowledged.  Good hunting, Commander

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$COMM: OPS:  And to you, Lt.

OPS-Anari says:
COM: Tsunami:  Scorpius here, Tsunami

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Captain, ::sigh:: The data we have on the device is very inconclusive. Do you want to hear what I do know?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#COM: Scorpius: Notify the CO that we are ready and waiting for his word to move out.  Also, please have TO Lane transmit all the simulation data over to the CTO here.

CNS_McDonald says:
*ALL*: stations report readiness.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: Sure.  Lay it on me.

CIV_Horn says:
@OPS: Would you inform that Scorpius that I would like to be answered.

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Well good news and bad news. The good news fist ....

TO_Lane says:
::looks at sensors:: CO: Three ships headed in at high warp.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Identify...

TO_Lane says:
::boosts sensors to attempt to identify::  CO: Working on it.

OPS-Anari says:
COM: CTO: Acknowledged, sir.  Good hunting to you, sir.  I'll have that data sent immediately

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$A_FCO: Set course to the Hibernia system and stand-by, Warp 7.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: feels the hairs on his back stand up :: 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#<Tsunami OPS>:take the ship to gray mode.  I want ALL non-essential systems powered down, and all that power rerouted to tactical and defensive systems.

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: The device consumes more power then it can hold on it's own, so energy has to be transferred in to charge it up, that could help us.

CIV_Horn says:
@<OPS>: ACO: Yes sir.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: And the bad news?

OPS-Anari says:
TO: Please transmit all simulation data to the Tsunami via this coded frequency immediately to the CTO

OPS-Anari says:
COM: CIV:  Scorpius here, sir

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$A_OPS:  Set Grey Mode.  Power down all non-essential systems and divert all power to tactical systems.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#<Tsunami CTO>: I am having the Scorpius transmit our data over from simulations that we have been running.  Look over that information and incorporate it into our battle strategies.

TO_Lane says:
::keeps trying to get a full id on the ships:: CO: Sir, the ships are running in gray mode.  All I'm getting so far is that it is one Akira and two Sabre class ships.

CIV_Horn says:
@COM: Scorpius: We are ready to depart.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: relaxes a bit.

TO_Lane says:
OPS:  Acknowledged ::transmits the data on the coded signal::  

OPS-Anari says:
COM: CIV: Acknowledged sir.  Good hunting.

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: There are 2 elements to the projected weapon. part of it is particle based which is good because we could have nullified it with a tachyon burst, but that’s only part of it

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$::watches her crew move around efficiently doing their jobs::

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: The particle field adds to a level of containment for a more deader projected weapon

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CEO: What's the other part?

TO_Lane says:
CO: Were we expecting further reinforcements?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Who knows with Adm. Taylor.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Perhaps he should be asked?

OPS-Anari says:
CO:  All ships have reported in and are ready for departure

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: Its probably some form of high yield torpedo with a particle field keeping the collected energy stable for impact

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: I have an uneasy feeling.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the 3 ships are bearing down on the task force fast...

TO_Lane says:
::nods as she turns her attention back to her console::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Hail the incoming vessels.

CIV_Horn says:
@COM: Scorpius: Are you picking up those three marks coming in?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#COMM Scorpius: Acknowledging receipt of information, thank you again.

TO_Lane says:
CO: They are coming in fast, Captain.

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: I somehow don’t think those ships are friendly.. 

OPS-Anari says:
:: Hails the incoming vessels ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$<A_CTO> XO:  Sir, I'm reading three vessels coming in fast ...

CNS_McDonald says:
CO: I'd recommend Yellow alert

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Put me on with the other four vessels.

CIV_Horn says:
@All: Red Alert!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#<Tsunami CTO>: Take us to red alert and to full battle readiness!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$A_CTO:  Red Alert!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: Negative.  TO: Red alert!

OPS-Anari says:
CO: Sir!  I have tight-beam, coded signals coming in...it is Admiral Taylor and two more vessels as backup

TO_Lane says:
::brings the Scorpius to full alert and hears the red alert klaxons ring::

CIV_Horn says:
@CTO: Have the fighters prepared for launch.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits up straight:: *Houlihan* You ready down there?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Belay that!  Cancel red alert!  COMM: All ships: Cancel all red alerts!  It's Adm. Taylor doing his usual surprises again.

CIV_Horn says:
@ALL: Stand down red alert.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: looks at the CO:: Sighs :: CO: one of these days that man is going to give us a heart attack.

TO_Lane says:
::cancels red alert and brings the ship back to gray mode:: CO: Done sir.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
#::grumbles:: <T-CTO>: Stand down from red alert, but stay at battle readiness.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Somebody needs to teach that man that we non-Vulcans have emotions to deal with when he pulls this stuff.

OPS-Anari says:
:: Notes that the communication the CO just sent out was luckily tight-beamed and encrypted ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leans back in her chair::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
$A_CTO:  Bring all weapons to readiness and prepare .... ::hears the Scorpius message:: A_CTO:  Stand down Red Alert.  ::sighs::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Put the admiral on screen!

CEO_Bodine says:
CO: I can't predict the result of a designed countermeasure in space it could explode and kill us all our best guess is to take out its escorts and prevent an energy transfer from even taking place, I could guess at the area of the ship / weapon but if I am wrong the wasted time could cause us a disaster.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Houlihan> *CMO* Ready and waiting...hopefully we'll only be waiting.

CEO_Bodine says:
::: pauses for the admiral ::

OPS-Anari says:
CO: Sir, the ships are the Typhoon, the Tripoli, and the Sha'riar.   :: Fingers move over her console ::   On screen, sir

Host ADM_Taylor says:
&COMM: Scorpius: CO: You rang, Captain?  ::raised eyebrow::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Typhoon: Admiral, with all due respect, you gave us coronaries.  You had all five of us on full red alert before you IDed yourself.

CNS_McDonald says:
:: furrows his eyebrows ::

TO_Lane says:
::looks up at the Admiral's image on the Viewscreen, as she continues to review battle plans::

OPS-Anari says:
:: Returns all communications routing through her console for authorization ::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
&COMM:  Scorpius:  CO:  Apologies, Captain.  I was observing communications blackout.  However, we best get underway.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::mutters to herself:: Coronaries nothing, I wanna kill somebody.
