USS Scorpius  NCC 50666  10403.06

Host Gerry says:
"Something Wicked This Way Comes..."

Host Gerry says:
Episode 2:  Some beings have all the nerve...

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius had been ordered to cover the patrol route of the MIA USS Sharikahr.

Host Gerry says:
As the ship assumed patrol position, it detected a massive explosion in Romulan space.

Host Gerry says:
It is so far assumed that the explosion of a huge space station or the like was responsible for the flush back and level 12 shockwave that was produced.

Host Gerry says:
The USS Sharikahr shoed up on sensors not long after, being pursued by two Romulan Warbirds.

Host Gerry says:
Another Shockwave, this time from the ejected warp core of the Sharikahr, seems to have at least temporarily disabled the two Romulan vessels.

Host Gerry says:
The resulting level 4 shockwave has damaged the Sharikahr and the Romulans, who are adrift in the Neutral zone for the moment, while the Sharikahr has escaped to Federation territory.

Host Gerry says:
the Scorpius is preparing to beam over an away team to the Sharikahr...

CO: Aye

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS/SO: What is the Sharikahr’s status?

CEO_Cap says:
::the bynars head to a turbolift::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Follows into the turbolift behind the XO::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:

SO_Zria says:
CO: They've regained and raised shields.

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: Commander, we won't be able to walk around freely there are several decompressed areas on the Sharikahr we need to scan each area before we pass through it.

CO_VanSickle says:
::doesn't know if he'll ever get used to Bynars as CEO::

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Bridge to Cmdr. Horn...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO: Understood.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Go ahead, Sir.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Helene> CMO: Maybe dead.  You said some...something about tor...torture.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tightens the channel and tries the message again ::

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: It seems that the Sharikahr’s shields are now up.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Helene: It's possible.  We need to be ready for anything.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Which means we cannot beam over ...

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Not at the moment.  Do we know the Shari's prefix code?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Opens another channel to the Shari ::   COM: Shari: This is the USS Scorpius.  Do you 
require assistance?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::whispers to the XO:: XO: Only the Captain can obtain those codes.

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: The Shields are up? Tell the Bridge to try the Federation transponder codes we don't need the shields lowered we need to matched the transporter pattern with the shield frequency

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Only the ship's Captain would have access to that information, Sir, but I suspect we don't

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: I'll have to see if I can get it.  Bridge out.

CO_VanSickle says:
::accesses chair panel to search for the Sharikahr’s prefix code::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the Transporter room:: ALL:  Ok, guys, you may as well relax.  The Sharikahr has raised it's shields so we cannot beam over.

CEO_Cap says:
::waiting in the transporter room::

SO_Zria says:

OPS-Watson says:
:: Gets static from the Shari and silence from the Romulans ::

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: What is the status of the Sharikahr’s comm system?

OPS-Watson says:
CO: I believe they are down, sir.  She is not responding to hails

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: We could probably shuttle over.. faster then the Captain could .. errm you know what I mean. Ma'am

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: What did sensors show?  Did they pick up enough bio signs for the entire crew?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  I don't know, Doctor.  We can find out, though.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO:  But there must be people alive over there if they are able to restore systems.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at his wife:: CMO: You be careful over there, please.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Horn to Captain.  Sir, what life sign readings are we getting.

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: What are the life signs on the Shari?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::paces back and forth like a caged animal, waiting to do something...anything::

SO_Zria says:
::notes the sensor readings:: CO: there is a huge ionic field closing in on our position from Romulan space.

SO_Zria says:
::tries to identify::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: I'm always careful, you know that.

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Ionic field?

SO_Zria says:
CO: Working on it, Captain.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::smiles at his wife:: CMO: I know that you put everyone else before you, and that includes life and death situations.  

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  We may as well head back to the bridge.  Looks like we're not going anywhere for a while.

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: If thier comm is out do you think they can see out a view port at us if we where to use running lights as Morris code to let the Shari know of our intentions?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Surely, the Sharikahr can see us sitting here.  I mean, all they have to do is look out a window.  Why would they not want our assistance?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CTO: That means I'm preferential, not careless. ::smiles back::

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods at the XO and heads for the turbolift ::

SO_Zria says:
CO: Captain, it appears to be something that is cloaked, and huge.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Jeahnie/Helene: Go back to sickbay.  I'll comm you when we're ready to go.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO/CTO:  I agree.  Either they do not want to acknowledge our presence or they cannot.  The shuttle idea looks like the way to go.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Unless, the original crew isn't on board anymore.  What if the ship is just a trap?

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Great!  *XO*: AQilla, it looks like we're going to have company.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::follows the XO:: XO: Ma'am, if they have raised shields in order to prevent us from boarding, are we certain the real crew has control of the ship?

TO_Sadek says:
CSO: I doubt very much that someone would notice us at a standard distance of 20 000 km Sir... it is a large distance.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged.  We're heading back to the bridge now.

SO_Zria says:
::tries to boost gain and get further information::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A huge ship decloaks as it enters the Romulan side of the neutral zone...

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Captain... unidentified vessel decloaking... computer does not recognize it immediately.... doing extra searches

CSO_Bodine says:
:: disappointed they are not going he follows the XO back to the Bridge ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*TO* Sadek, what is going on up there?

SO_Zria says:
CO:  It just decloaked...trying to get more information on it.

CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Hurry on that ID.  I don't want us flat footed.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::heads back to the bridge:: *CO*:  Sir, what is going on?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Follows closely behind the XO::

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: A very large ship is heading our way from Romulan space.  It just decloaked.

SO_Zria says:
::begins scanning the unidentified ship, trying to get any information she can from it::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the TL:: Computer:  Bridge.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Hears what the CO tells the XO::

CSO_Bodine says:
:: moves over to the SO :: SO: What is going on, we have another contact?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CO*:  Any ID yet?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the XO:: XO: A new Romulan weapon, perhaps the start of an invasion?

CO_VanSickle says:
*XO*: Zria and Sadek are working on it.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands behind the XO in the turbolift::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Perhaps ...

TO_Sadek says:
::continues search in computer:: CO: The computer has identified it as a D'vor Dreadnought.... last encountered by the USS Seleya on SD 9703.09

SO_Zria says:
CSO: A huge unidentified ship on the Romulan side of the neutral zone...just decloaked, I'm trying to get more information from it.

CSO_Bodine says:
::rubs his forehead trying to regain his focus::

CO_VanSickle says:

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Enters the bridge and takes his position at tac station 1::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: Sadek, report.  What do you have on that ship?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::looks at the ship on the screen::

SO_Zria says:
::turns slightly and stops herself and returns her attention to her station::

TO_Sadek says:
CTO: A vessel identified as a D'vor Dreadnaught has just exited Romulan space near us Sir

CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Not the D'Vor!

OPS-Watson says:
:: Obtains the results and frowns ::

CEO_Cap says:
;:returning to the bridge::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
TO: D'Vor?  They still use those things?

CSO_Bodine says:
TO: I hope she comes back on our side of the line it would be fun eh ?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The D'Vor Dreadnaught opens fire on the disabled Romulan vessels with electric-blue energy orb-like weapons...

SO_Zria says:
CSO:  Fun?

CO_VanSickle says:
SO/CSO: Access Federation ship log archives for the USS Elara, Stardate 10001.10, when she was at Starbase 595.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Taps her commbadge ::   *CEO's*:  Ensign Watson to Chiefs Cap and Caq...

CO_VanSickle says:
FCO: Back us off!

CEO_Cap says:
*OPS* Cap and

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I'm not familiar with this type of weapon, Sir.

CEO_Caq says:
*OPS* Caq here

CSO_Bodine says:
:: tries to gain access to the requested data:: CO: Aye

CO_VanSickle says:
<FCO> CO: Aye, sir, backing us off.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sees what the D'Vor is doing, and is stunned:: Self: What the.....

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees the ship open fire on the disabled Romulan vessels and frowns more ::

SO_Zria says:
::accesses the files as ordered:: CO: Files open, Captain.

TO_Sadek says:
::consults the computer:: CO: I would not recommend being in combat with their weapons Sir.... and the weapon's signature of the D'Vor's weapons match the weapon's signature on the Sharikahr.

OPS-Watson says:
*CEO's*: Sirs, could you check the communications relays.  I'm getting nothing but static from the Shari and a diagnostic shows there could be a slight problem in the relays

SO_Zria says:
::shakes her head as she tries to identify the weapon's energy::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan Vessel is rapidly drained of power and then all life-signs disappear from the Romulan vessel...

CSO_Bodine says:
:: watches as the Romulans fire on thier own :: ALL: Sure glad I'm Human. I wouldn't want to be Romulan 

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: That is a deadly species.

CEO_Cap says:
*OPS* Acknowledged, we are

CEO_Caq says:
*OPS* on our way

CEO_Cap says:
::alters course of the turbolift and heads back to engineering to get on the COMM relay problem::

OPS-Watson says:
*CEO's*: Thank you, sirs.  I appreciate the help!  Watson out.

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Captain ?   And the Sharikahr ??  Do you wish to abandon it?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the dreadnaught turns on the second Romulan Vessel, who has returned some power to the shields...

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I ran into them four years ago.

CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Can you lock a tractor beam on it, even though its shields are up?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::steps forward:: Self: By the prophets, they are destroying their own people?

CEO_Cap says:
::tries to determine what is wrong with the COMM system::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO: Is there any way to defeat such a weapon or species?

CSO_Bodine says:
CO: Should we attempt to save the second ship they might know what happen here!

CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: There would be no use.  XO: Our weapons don't make a dent, if I recall correctly.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: The Sharikahr is helpless, can we tow them to safety?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees the amber light on her console and tries to correct the problem ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  I agree.  We should withdraw taking the Sharikahr with us.

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Negative Sir.... their shields will not permit it.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Not getting any positive response, looks to see what systems are affected ::

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: I asked for a tractor lock to be established.

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Can you try to hail the D'Vor, using the UT?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A firefight ensues between the Romulans and the D'Vor vessel...the Dreadnaught firing high-yield lasers and anti-proton torpedoes...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Shakes her head as she sees it is the communications relays ::

CEO_Cap says:
::attempts to realign the relays::

OPS-Watson says:
CO: Aye sir.    :: Opens a channel to the D'Vor vessel ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, it's interesting they are attacking the Romulans and not us ...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: If the Shari has shields, she isn’t completely defenseless.

SO_Zria says:
::frowns and tries to find a defense against the weapon:: CSO:  The weapon is extremely powerful neural energy plasma.  Similar to the energy that fires neurons in the brain.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Still has a very bad feeling about this situation::

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: If I read my former CO's log from the Elara, he brokered a truce between the Elara and the D'Vor.

CSO_Bodine says:
:: takes some scans of the Dreadnaught ::

TO_Sadek says:
::looks at the sensor readings:: CTO: The Romulans had full shields... and there are no life signs Sir !

OPS-Watson says:
COM: D'Vor vessel:  This is the USS Scorpius...please identify yourselves and state the reason you are in this area

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CO:  That might be useful.  If they remember ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sickbay* I want you ready for anything.  We've got a bad boy incoming.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Runs the message through the universal translator ::

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Transmit more of a friendship message, and state that a former Elara crewmember is aboard this ship.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I still have a bad feeling about the Sharikahr, Ma'am.  Unfortunately, I cannot elaborate at this time.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The sensors fail to penetrate the hull of the dreadnaught

OPS-Watson says:
CO: Sir, why don't you talk to them...the channel is opened, but there is a problem with the communications relays that the CEO's are addressing

CSO_Bodine says:
CO: We have to do something to take down the Sharikahr Shields up or down if she is shot at she is as good as dead anyway sir.

SO_Zria says:
CSO: Sensors are unable to penetrate the dreadnaught's hull

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: CTO: You believe the Sharikahr was a victim of this weapon ...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Thinks to herself ::   Self: You dork!  You don't speak to a Captain like that!   :: Rolls her eyes as she realizes what she just did ::

TO_Sadek says:
CO: We are now at a distance of 40 000 km from the Sharikahr.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Possibly, or the Sharikahr no longer has Federation crew members on board.  But, Something just isn't right.

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: D'Vor: This is Capt. Eric VanSickle of the USS Scorpius.  I once served on the USS Elara four years ago, and my former CO brokered a truce between our peoples.  We have no quarrel with you.  Please respond?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::realizes she's in the way and heads back to sickbay::

CSO_Bodine says:
SO: I see that lets concentrate on the Sharikahr, how do we gain access...

OPS-Watson says:
*CEOs*: Sirs...there is some kind of glitch in the universal translator.  I think that is affecting the communications relays

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO: Captain, I'd still like to try to board the Sharikahr.  We could take a shuttle ...

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: You can't penetrate their shields.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::stands quietly as the turbolift doors close, then orders it to sickbay::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Is there a way to take their shields down from here?  

SO_Zria says:
::begins to monitor the Sharikahr more heavily:: CSO: Aye, sir.

CEO_Caq says:
*OPS* on it

CO_VanSickle says:
CTO: Only if we can connect to the ship via the comm system with a prefix code.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tries again to re-route the communications to another relay system...then sees an incoming message ::

TO_Sadek says:
CO: It can be done Captain.... moving slowly we can penetrate the Sharikahr’s shields on a shuttle... we are now at a distance of 50 000 km from the Sharikahr.

OPS-Watson says:
CO: Sir...I have a response, text only from the D'Vor

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Read it.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  Can you pilot the shuttle through?

CSO_Bodine says:
::accesses phaser sciatic:: ALL: Hmm, I hate to even suggest this but why don’t we shoot the Sharikahr, with a low yield consistent firing pattern from the lasers add in with that a feedback pulse and train the shields enough to transport someone inside.

OPS-Watson says:
CO: It reads..."That's before you murdered our master's entire race.  Your Federation practiced genocide"

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leaves the turbolift and walks the corridor to sickbay, trying to find some answers to their situation::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  can you set that up?

CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Entire race?  COMM: D'Vor: When did this happen?

OPS-Watson says:
*CEO's*: Thank you, sirs

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Sure thing, ma'am.

TO_Sadek says:
::nods:: XO: I can Commander.

SO_Zria says:
CSO:  We could bring it out if we can get within 1 kilometer of it.  That way we can use our tractor to tow it and our shields to protect it.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters sickbay and sees her staff hard at work, preparing for possible casualties::

TO_Sadek says:
SO: Only if the Sharikahr will lower her shields will we be able to tow her.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  We may have a way on-board the Shari, Captain.  Actually we have two options.

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: This wont get us inside, but we could tow them at Warp 5 if we get with 1km extending our shields and warp field around both vessels. Then when we get away we work on getting aboard. SO: Thank you Ensign

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO/XO: Which option would you like?  Do you want to use a shuttle, or should we use the CSO's idea?

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Jeahnie> CMO: We're transferring supplies to the Cargo Bay.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Let's hear 'em.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Runs another diagnostic on the communications relays again trying to narrow down the problem ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Jeahnie: Good, make sure that Pierce, Sopok, and the rest of the staff is down there and ready.

SO_Zria says:
TO: Would the collision of shields not be enough to disrupt theirs since their shields are already weak?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO: We may be able to drain the Shari's shields through our weapons ... or the TO's idea of piloting a shuttle slowly enough to allow us to penetrate the shields.

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Which is safer for both us and the Shari?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Probably the shuttle, but both are a risk.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters her office and opens the medical channel so she can hear what's happening on the bridge::

CO_VanSickle says:
XO: Go with that.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
TO:  You're confident you can pilot the shuttle?

SO_Zria says:
::tries to find another solution to bringing the Shari's shields down::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Once on board we should be able to lower the Shari's shields for towing.

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: Well shooting them can't be the safest, but I suggest we tow them for now and worry about 1 thing at a time sir.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Dreadnaught drains the second Romulan ship of life signs and turns toward the Sharikahr at impulse...

OPS-Watson says:
:: Is able to trace the problem, narrowing it down to an unstable coupling at junction 47 A in a jeffries tube on deck 21::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::notices the dreadnaught:: CO:  And now we are out of time ...

CSO_Bodine says:
::consoles alarms::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Sir, the Dreadnaught is heading for the Sharikahr.

CSO_Bodine says:
XO: No time for shuttle, we need to extend our warp field and shields now Ma'am

CO_VanSickle says:
Self: Oh gosh... OPS: Is the channel still open to the D'Vor?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Taps her commbadge ::   *CEO's*: Sirs, I think I found the problem...

SO_Zria says:
CSO: Whatever we do, it will have to be in a hurry.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO:  I agree.  CO:  We must get the Sharikahr out of here now!

CEO_Cap says:
::still trying to determine what could possibly be wrong with the comms:: *OPS* What's that

CEO_Caq says:
*OPS* Bridge?  What is

TO_Sadek says:
::pauses for a moment:: SO: it would work.... long enough to establish a tractor beam and long enough so that they cannot raise shields quickly enough... we have to be quick... FCO: We will need a collision course please...  SO: I am calculating the shield strength now

CEO_Cap says:
*OPS* It?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Checks ::  CO: Aye sir...but I think there's a problem in the communications relays

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO/XO: I hate to suggest this, but why not use our phasers, and knock their shields down?

OPS-Watson says:
*CEOs*: There is an unstable coupling at junction 47 in a jeffries tube on deck 21

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: D'Vor: The ship you're bearing down on is not fully functioning.  Please stand down.

CEO_Cap says:
*OPS* On our

CEO_Caq says:
*OPS* way

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow at the Captain ::

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Captain... with our shields strength at 67% and we collide with the Sharikahr at 10.7m/s we will disrupt their shields long enough to give us a chance to activate a tractor beam.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Nods as she receives a response from the CEO's ::    *CEO's*: I'm also trying to reroute communications, but it's not working

CSO_Bodine says:
*CEO*: Lt's can you calibrate the warp field around the to make room for the Shari’s dimensions ::sends them over::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees a message on her console ::   CO: Sir, another text only message...

SO_Zria says:
::continues to work on a way to drop the Sharikahr’s shields and get the ship out of range of the D’Vor::

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: And it says...?

OPS-Watson says:
CO: It reads, "You'll be next...you'll help give rebirth to my master's people as neural matter"

SO_Zria says:
::frowns at Watson's reading of the D’Vor’s message::

CO_VanSickle says:
Self: They want neural matter.  COMM: D'Vor: I suggest we talk about another way rather than taking lives.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Bridge to Dr. Garta-Nmbarri.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Doesn't sound like they want to talk

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* I've been listening Captain, go ahead.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CSO/SO:  How is your plan coming?

SO_Zria says:
CSO: We're running out of time, they are within 45 seconds of the Sharikahr.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Did you hear that the D'Vor wants our neural matter to repopulate their species?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Sees another text message come in... ::  CO: Another text only message which reads...

CEO_Cap says:
::enters the junction and attempts to fix the unstable coupling::

OPS-Watson says:
CO: "We will not even speak with you. We communicate so that you realize you are dying for the crimes of your Federation"

CO_VanSickle says:
COMM: D'Vor: What if we provide you with some genetic material that you can use for your neural matter?  Would that help?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tries to re-route power from the coupling at junction 47 so the CEO's can work safely ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Sir, I suggest the CTO take their shields down ... then we can lock on a tractor and get out of here ...

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Yes, I have been listening.

SO_Zria says:
XO: We have to get close, Commander for the tractor to work properly.

CEO_Cap says:
<EO_Penthe> *CSO* The Chiefs are busy right now sir, I'll see if I can do it

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: What do we have that can be used for neural matter that the D'Vor can use for their goals?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I can target their shield emitters with a tight beam phaser.  that should be enough to knock part of their shields down at least.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
SO:  I know, Lt.

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Captain... this vessel has killed the crews of 2 vessels... and you wish to negotiate with them?

CO_VanSickle says:
TO: Do the shield collision idea.

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow at the Captain :: CO:  Sir, what genetic material where you planning on giving them?

CSO_Bodine says:
::slaves flight to his console:: SO: Access Engineering and adjust out warp field and shields. ::attempts to pilot the ship within 1km of the Shari::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Tries not to be upset at having read the in-coming text and takes a deep breath to control her nerves.  Can feel her bouncing knee increase in speed ::

CO_VanSickle says:
TO: I know it sounds far-fetched, but I know we don't stand a chance if we fight them.

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Checking.

SO_Zria says:
CSO:  Aye, Sir.  ::accesses engineering and makes the proper adjustments to the warp field::

CSO_Bodine says:
SO: Let me know when the warp field is in place

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* I have one dead body in the morgue.  Other than that, the other neural matter is the crew.

TO_Sadek says:
FCO: Prepare your maneuvers... calculations have been transferred to your console... shields are now at 67%

SO_Zria says:
CSO: It should be in place now

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Sir, I strongly suggest, we fire on the Sharikahr, knock out their shields and tow them out of here as fast as we can go.

CO_VanSickle says:
*CMO*: Can you use him to synthesize more neural matter?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I concur, sir.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  As do I.  We need to act quickly.

CO_VanSickle says:
All: Let's get it done and get out of here.

CSO_Bodine says:
:: tries not to bump into the damaged Shari as he gets closer than they ever should be ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Sorry Captain, I'm a doctor not a miracle worker.  I can heal life, not create it.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Sir, I can not believe you are seriously considering this course of action.

TO_Sadek says:
CO: We are on a collision course.... impact in 14 seconds.

CSO_Bodine says:
::as the SO has the warp field in place he lots a course into federation space:: CO: Course plotted Capt.

CO_VanSickle says:
CIV: Which course of action, negotiating with a deadly species or the shield collision?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Negotiations with terrorist of course Captain.  And the dead body in sickbay has the right to be disposed of as per his or her wishes.

CSO_Bodine says:
::steadies the helm and tries to level the yaw::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Bring weapons on-line but don't fire yet.  We'll use it as a backup.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Aye, Ma'am.

SO_Zria says:
::braces herself for the collision:: Self: I hope this works

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::brings phasers online, targets the Shari’s shield emitters, and waits::

OPS-Watson says:
:: Feels the nervous twitch now starting in her left knee as both knees are now bouncing like Mexican jumping beans... ::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Medical Staff* Prepare for collision.  Repeat, prepare for collision.

TO_Sadek says:
<FCO_Thmb's> TO: Speed set at 10.7m/s... impact in 1 second.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  With 8 seconds to spare, the Scorpius shields collapse the shields of the Sharikahr and blow the generators to bits, along with some core systems in engineering, but establish a firm tractor lock.

CSO_Bodine says:
CO: Captain! do you want me to go to warp the Shari is in our warp field.

CO_VanSickle says:
CSO: Do it!

CSO_Bodine says:
::engages warp factor 5 ::

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Tractor beam engaged.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Dreadnaught opens fire...only to miss as the two joined ships warp out of the area...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, what’s to say that the D'Vor wont just follow us?

OPS-Watson says:
:: Watches power on her console and hopes it holds ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  That's a chance we'll have to take, Commander.  OPS:  Prepare a message for Starfleet.  Inform them of what happened here.

CO_VanSickle says:
OPS: Send a message to SFHQ. We've retrieved the Sharikahr, but her crew's status is unknown.  We've also encountered the D'Vor, who has declared war on the Federation.

CSO_Bodine says:
CTO: And risk open war?

TO_Sadek says:
CO: Sir the Sharikahr's shields generators are.... completely non-functional... they will need a Starbase to be fixed.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Dreadnaught follows at Warp 4...

OPS-Watson says:
XO/CO: Aye ma'am...sir...but to let you know both know...communications are still dicey at best

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CSO: The D'Vor seems to have decided on that option already.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  At least now we will be able to get onboard the Sharikahr and find out what happened to the crew.

OPS-Watson says:
:: Prepares the message to Starfleet Headquarters ::

SO_Zria says:
CO:  The Dreadnaught is following sir, they are at warp 4

CO_VanSickle says:
SO: Our speed?

CSO_Bodine says:
SO: My console is jumbled with flight, is that the D'vor following us? She is not matching our speed is she?

OPS-Watson says:
*CEO's*: Sirs...how's it coming down there?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr impulse engines fire up to FULL IMPULSE trying to break free

SO_Zria says:
CO/CSO: We're at warp 5, still pulling away 

CSO_Bodine says:
CO: We are at 5, we are gaining distance.

CO_VanSickle says:
::Feels a jolt::

CMO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO* Can we get a clear scan of the Shari now?  I'd like to know if I have wounded over there!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CO:  Captain, the Sharikahr is trying to break free ...
