This Week on the Scorpius: Cause and Effect

Host CNS_McDonald says:
Previously on the Scorpius:

Host CNS_McDonald says:
After a hard pursuit and battle the Scorpius as located the Terrorist Fleet

Host CNS_McDonald says:
Under the leadership of the Scorpius, the remaining ships in Task Force Zulu have engaged K'Rass the terrorist, Gul Dumot his sidekick, and the subspace planet killer weapon.

Host CNS_McDonald says:
The task force has enacted a plan to deal with the super weapon and the terrorist fleet...

Host CNS_McDonald says:
The super weapon destroyed something within the space-time shifts and they find themselves back at the beginning of the battle.

Host CNS_McDonald says:

Host CNS_McDonald says:
::Sitting on the bridge looking at the super weapon in front of them ::

Host CNS_McDonald says:
ALL: Suggestions?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::sitting on the bridge of the Antares::

Host CNS_McDonald says:
OPS: open a channel to the fleet.

Host CNS_McDonald says:
<Inn>: Yes sir. COM:FLEET: This is the Scorpius take out those ships

Host CNS_McDonald says:
ACTION: The crew finds themselves looking at the planet killer and the fleet with a sense of deja vu

FCO_Vince says:
$::feels weird for a minute, then its back to business as usual::

FCO_Vince says:
$R_TO:  Punch it!

Host CNS_McDonald says:
:: sitting in the XO's chair with the captain at his side ::

FCO_Vince says:
$::watches the screen expecting a series of brilliant explosions::

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CO: what do you wanna do?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::sees the weapon and gets a weird feeling:: ALL:  Haven't we been here before?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::a moment after feeling a bad headache coming on, finds self in hoverchair on bridge::  CNS: What do I want to do with what?  One moment I'm in sickbay, next I'm here.

FCO_Vince says:
$::turns to the R_TO::  Did you detonate the torpedoes?

Host CNS_McDonald says:
:: points to the super weapon in front of them ::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::drops jaw:: CNS: We blew that thing up already!

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The torpedoes detonate and heavily damage three enemy vessels...

Host CNS_McDonald says:
ACTION: The super weapon fires narrowly missing the Scorpius ::

FCO_Vince says:
$::claps his hands::  Yes!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits in her office, holding the baby::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
VeyLorr: Get us outta here!

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Typhoon comes streaking out of the rear and launches all fighters aft as it fires salvo after salvo at the super weapon, drawing heavy fire on itself...

FCO_Vince says:
$<R_TO> FCO:  Apparently there was a delay in the detonation sequence... and I had hoped for better results.

FCO_Vince says:
$R_TO:  Don't worry about it now.  It'll help.  Open fire on them.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::sees the weapon fire and watches the typhoon firing:: FCO:  Take us in!  Give the Typhoon some cover!

FCO_Vince says:
<VeyLorr>::executes getting us outta here maneuver::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  Six K'Tinga-class vessels come over the relative top firing at Task Force Zulu...

FCO_Vince says:
$::The Rigel is firing full spreads at the damaged ships::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::receives a report saying Anari is released for duty::

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CIV/CO: what about that shuttle?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
<A_CTO> ::Targets the nearest K'Tinga and fires torpedoes::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Rigel destroys the three damaged vessels with all hands in brilliant antimatter explosions

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: It worked, or at least it will.  CIV: Get that thing inside of there, Russ!

FCO_Vince says:
$::Covers his eyes from the blinding lights of the explosions::

FCO_Vince says:
$<R_OPS> FCO:  Six more ships on our dorsal!

CIV_Horn says:
::Flies the shuttle into the weapon::

FCO_Vince says:
$R_TO:  Focus on them now, weapons first

FCO_Vince says:
$R_FCO:  Dive underneath.  keep on their ventral sides

Host CNS_McDonald says:
:: watches as the shuttle flies in ::

Host CNS_McDonald says:
ACTION: The shuttle finds its mark flying into the weapon and exploding on impact

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@ FCO:  Bring us about.  CTO:  Continue firing! Destroy those ships!

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::goes over a few reports and Dee Dee falls asleep::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the super weapon is intact, but disabled.

FCO_Vince says:
$::turns away from the viewscreen::  R_FCO:  Move us away from that explosion!

Host CO_VanSickle says:
All: If K'Rass hails us, ignore him.

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CO/CIV: it didn't explode. now what?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: What's its status?

FCO_Vince says:
$::turns back to the viewscreen, surprised::  R_OPS:  Did it not work?  I expected a massive explosion and shockwave.

FCO_Vince says:
$<R_OPS>  FCO:  It's disabled, Sir

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::sees the weapon didn't explode:: Self:  What??? I was sure it exploded ...

FCO_Vince says:
$R_OPS:  Oh... Good

FCO_Vince says:
$<R_OPS>  FCO:  The other ships are still closing, though

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@A_OPS:  Bring tractor beams on-line ... I want that weapon ....

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::gives the baby to Sopok and heads to the bridge::

FCO_Vince says:
$R_TO:  Focus fire on one ship at a time, at your discretion

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::looks at view screen and sees the weapon still there:: Self: That thing is supposed to be destroyed right now, with a shockwave hitting us by this time.

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CO: your right.

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CO: I'm not sure what happened.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Report!

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

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CIV: do we have another shuttle ready?

FCO_Vince says:
$<R_XO>  R_FCO:  Engage evasive maneuver Theta Six

CIV_Horn says:
CO: There is not another shuttle prepared.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the bridge::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Then how come that thing is still out there, when it's supposed to be atomized!

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The USS Typhoon sails in and opens fire on K'Rass's ship...

FCO_Vince says:
$R_OPS:  What's the enemy ships' relative position to the super weapon?

CIV_Horn says:
CO: You tell me and we will both know

Host CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Hail the Typhoon, ask Adm. Taylor who is on that ship.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Typhoon continues fire until the K'Tinga carrying K'Rass blows up with all hands.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@<A_CTO> ::targets the super weapon and fires point-blank::

FCO_Vince says:
$::Covers own eyes::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
::sees a K'Tinga blow from Typhoon fire:: COMM: Typhoon: Admiral, good shooting!  Who was on that ship?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@<A_FCO> ::engages evasives::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  The K'Tingas turn tail and warp out of the area leaving lots of debris and one deactivated super-weapon.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::watches the bridge crew carefully::

FCO_Vince says:
$R_OPS:  Get a tractor beam on that weapon!

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CO: well that was an interesting battle.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::Sees the K'Tingas leave:: A_OPS:  Tractor beams!  A_FCO:  Get us into position to tow that thing ...

FCO_Vince says:
$::The Rigel's tractor beam grabs the super weapon hull::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
CNS: And that's what concerns me...

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CO: yes Likewise.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
&COM: Scorpius:  CO:  That was K'Rass.  Apparently he thought today was a good day to die.  :;raises eyebrow::

FCO_Vince says:
$R_XO:  Open a channel to the Scorpius.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Typhoon: You got K'Rass?

Host CNS_McDonald says:
:: listens intently ::

FCO_Vince says:
$COM:  CO:  Captain, shall we take an away team onto the weapon once the area is secured?

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: FCO: Stand by, commander.

FCO_Vince says:
$::thinking about what may or may not be on that weapon to salvage::

Host ADM_Taylor says:
&COM:  Scorpius:  CO:  Indeed, Captain.  I want you and the rest of the fleet to tow that hulk to Starbase 103 and await further orders there.

FCO_Vince says:
$::thinking some more, then a different thought occurs to him::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Typhoon: Aye sir.  COM: XO/FCO/CTO: Form up around the weapon and lock tractors on it.  Then, set course for SB103 at warp 5.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
&COM: Scorpius: CO:  Of course, your officers will return to the Scorpius where they have proved so effective in the past.

FCO_Vince says:
$R_OPS:  Scan it, full sensor sweep.  It may be a giant booby trap, left for a reason.

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: Typhoon: Immediate recall, admiral?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@A_OPS:  I wonder why they left it without a fight ... full sensor scans ... scan it for traps.

FCO_Vince says:
$COM:  CO:  I recommend full sensor sweeps to insure that it isn't rigged or booby-trapped before taking it to a Starbase, Captain.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
&COMM:  Scorpius: CO:  Another good point.  No, let them finish their duties and file reports.  Another Task force is already in pursuit of Dumot and his lackeys and by the reports I'm getting have him cornered.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@COMM: CO:  I agree with Cmdr Vince.

FCO_Vince says:
$COM:  CO:  Maybe an away team, but that too, could be risky.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
&COM: Fleet:  Everyone, I commend you on a job well done.  Unfortunately, I cannot stay, I am needed elsewhere.  ::makes the cut-it-off sign and all screens return to star field::

Host CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: FCO/XO: Make sure that's done before we embark.  COMM: Typhoon: Sir, we have to get the weapon secured before we move it.

Host ADM_Taylor says:
ACTION:  the Typhoon sends orders to make the CO's suggestion so and warps out of the area.

Host CNS_McDonald says:
CO: well that was interesting.

FCO_Vince says:
$COM:  XO:  I leave the away team to you.  Me and my crew are at you're disposal, of course.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
@COM: FCO:  Just what I was thinking, Commander.  Care to have a look at it for yourself?

FCO_Vince says:
COM:  XO:  Thought you'd never ask...  ::grinning::
