Episode:  See no Evil, Hear no Evil, Speak no Evil...

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
The USS Scorpius has blown what power system they had trying to outrun the Gorn to the Federation fleet.

Host Gerry says:
They didn't make it.

Host Gerry says:
Just before they could reach the safety of the line of ships speeding toward them, a new and huge class of Gorn battle cruiser fired an intensely powerful beam weapon that killed their shields and knocked them from warp with a great deal of damage.

Host Gerry says:
Just before the sensors were knocked offline, an unknown tractor beam grappled the Scorpius just as the inertial dampers failed.

Host Gerry says:
With a full third of the crew down, this did even more damage that will be difficult to repair.

Host Gerry says:
And in the middle of it all, Admiral Tom Taylor has information that MUST reach the Federation...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::heading back to the bridge after depositing the Captain in sickbay::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The ship pitches to the left knocking staff and equipment around again...

OPS-Powers says:
:: Sitting at main OPS watching as power decreases.  Fingers fly over his console as he tries to bring power to the most critical of systems ::

OPS-Powers says:
:: Holds tightly onto his console ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::On the bridge, in the big chair, trying to figure a way out of the mess that they are in::

FCO_Bodine says:
:: attempting to hang on as the ship shakes fiercely about due to the lack of dampeners ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hits the wall yet again::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Flies to his left, but doesn’t come out of his seat::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  CTO comes out of his seat as the ship pitches right

SO_Zria says:
::starts to open her eyes, her body wracked with pain, then closes them tightly as she feels herself sliding across the deck again::

FCO_Bodine says:
CTO: I dUnno who has us but if it is our guys I don't think they realize how much more problems they are producing for us!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::manages somehow to get to the TL and orders it to the bridge::

SO_Zria says:
<SO_Heath> ::tries to hold onto the sides of the turbo lift as the ship pitches, finds herself being tossed out onto the bridge as the lift doors slide open::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::flies out of his seat as the ship is jarred to the right::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The ship's gravity fluctuates in between 1.1 and .7

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: I doubt that our guys would be doing this to us!

FCO_Bodine says:
:: feels light headed :: CTO: I wonder if any of the shuttles in bay 2 are working ....

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Creaking and groaning can be heard throughout the ship...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: What good would they do us now?

SO_Zria says:
<SO Heath> ::regains her footing as the gravity weakens and holds her stomach as she tries to make it to a working science console::

SO_Zria says:
::screams as the pain hits her again::

FCO_Bodine says:
CTO: Hard to say Commander, but it would be nice t have a pair of eyes.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives on the bridge:: CTO:  Report!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Welcome back to the bridge, Commander.  Sensors are offline, so we have no idea who is doing this to us.  No engines, no weapons, no sensors.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::moves to the seat to the right of the big chair::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Is anything working around here?  ::moves down to her chair::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Life support is on backup reserves.

SO_Zria says:
<SO Heath> ::tries to pull up the science systems:: ALL: Most science systems are offline

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_Mario> :: attempts to get life supports and external sensors online all repair teams that are available have been called to shift ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: You might want to hold on tight, the ride has been a bit bumpy the last few minutes.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Gravity fluctuations continue, but weaken

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  I noticed!

Host OPS-Powers says:
XO: Internal communications are down, emergency bulkheads in place on several decks

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::turns to look at the XO, and feels a sudden, sharp pain in his left side::

Host OPS-Powers says:
:: Tries to get whatever power he can from anywhere ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Oh, and I think that I cracked a rib or two when the ship was jarred to the left before.

SO_Zria says:
<SO Heath> ::begins to get used to the gravity fluctuations as she concentrates on getting what she can from the science station::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Get down to sickbay, Commander.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I will be fine, Ma'am.  And besides, I am needed here at your side.

Host OPS-Powers says:
:: Looks at all the reports flooding his console ::

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_Mario> *ENG2*: This is CPO Mario Sanders to repair team 2 what is the status on main power restoration? :: hopes for good news ::

SO_Zria says:
<SO Heath> ::thinks, "Maybe", then uses tachyon bursts in an attempt to get feedback like submarine radar::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The EO's comms get only dead air in response...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: we were closing in on the Federation fleet when we lost warp power.  The last thing on sensors was the large Gorn ship had overtaken us.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Fine but if you feel any worse you go, that's an order, Commander

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

FCO_Bodine says:
:: glances over at his station to the OPS console :: Powers: I'm so glad you could join us!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::notices the SO on the floor:: CTO:  Has anybody checked on Zria?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Turns and sees the SO on the floor:: XO: My god!  I didn't even hear her fall!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::moves over to her::

Host OPS-Powers says:
:: Glances back to the FCO ::   FCO: I'm not so sure at this point, sir...trying my best to find power for you and tactical!

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_Mario> :: attempts to repair the internal communications nodes all by himself ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Goes to check on the SO, but realizes that he can't stand due to the pain in his side::

SO_Heath says:
::begins receiving a 3-d image of ship positions::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Sorry that I cant come over and assist you, ma'am.  Standing seems to be a bit painful at the moment.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
SO:  Zria?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Get yourself to sickbay, Commander.  I think I can handle things up here ...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the tactical readout on the arm of his chair, but sees that it is blank::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Very well, Ma'am.  I will send medics up here when I get there.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Very well.

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: We're shaking pretty bad. I don't know that it is a good idea .. well nevermind. I don't know it's my fault we burned out the power network .. :: sighs ::

SO_Heath says:
ALL: Using tachyon bursts like radar, I've been able to get a little information on our position.  We're adrift, slightly behind the Federation line, they have engaged the Gorn and the battle is basically raging all around us.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::drags himself up and heads for the turbolift::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  It got us where we needed to go, Lt.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters the TL, and orders it to sickbay::

OPS-Powers says:
:: Sees a way that might work utilizing the secondary EPS lines to draw power from the main reactor and sets to working on it ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Scorpius shudders as a screeching is heard through the decks...

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: should we launch the spare shuttles to try and pull us to a safer distance?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  I don't know if the hull can stand it, Lt.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::hears a screeching sound, and hopes that the turbolift isn’t about to fall::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  What is the power situation ...

SO_Heath says:
::grimaces as she hears the screeching and hopes that the ship will hold together::

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: What do you suggest I do ma'am get out in an EVA and shoot a torpedo at them with my bare hands?

OPS-Powers says:
XO: Very critical...I'm trying something here, but now I see the main reactor is down

SO_Heath says:
::tries to uses the tachyon technique to get further information::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::exits the turbolift and goes to sickbay::

OPS-Powers says:
XO: I'm trying to tap into the impulse reactors at this time

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  That will be enough, Lt!

FCO_Bodine says:
:: hopes the XO doesn't think he was disrespectful with that last one and frowns and stares back at his useless console ::

OPS-Powers says:
:: Continues to work routing and re-routing power through various lines hoping it works ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::softens her tone a bit:: FCO:  Just do the best you can, Lt.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::enters sickbay, and waits for a medic to assist him, and also requests someone to go to the bridge to assist the wounded there::

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: Understood commander.

OPS-Powers says:
:: Runs into a safety mechanism and manually overrides it ::

CIV_Serok says:
:: leaves her quarters and heads for the bridge ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Supok> CTO: What seems to be the problem, Commander?

OPS-Powers says:
:: Have overridden several safety mechanisms and finds himself tapped into the impulse reactors ::

OPS-Powers says:
Self: YES!

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Supok: I think I might have cracked a rib or two when the ship was jarred.

OPS-Powers says:
:: Begins to reroute power from there to tactical and navigational systems ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears OPS:  OPS:  You have something?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Supok> CTO: Take a seat on this biobed.  If that’s the extent of your injuries, I will have you back on duty in a few moments.

OPS-Powers says:
:: With fingers still flying over his console ::   XO: I have successfully tapped into the impulse reactor.  I am now re-routing power to tactical and navigational systems

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::sits on the biobed, and waits for the scan results::

CIV_Serok says:
:: enters the bridge and looks around ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Excellent.

OPS-Powers says:
:: Still working on the re-routing of the extra power, while keeping an eye on damaged systems to avoid sending the power to them ::

FCO_Bodine says:
XO/OPS: I would not think we need a lot just enough to move and evade can we use any of the power retained to re establish a visual otherwise I am still flying blind and there are a lot of ship's out there in space I am sure?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
OPS:  Also work on internal comms ...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
<Supok> ::finds two cracked ribs on the CTO, uses the bone knitter, and releases him back to duty:: CTO: Your ribs will be fine now, but you might have a bit of tenderness in that side for a few days.  Just try not to get thrown into any walls for a while.  You may return to duty.

OPS-Powers says:
XO: Yes, ma'am...    FCO: I'm doing the best I can with what we've got...I can't make any promises

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Supok: Understood, Doctor.  Thank you.  ::gets up and heads back to the bridge::

SO_Heath says:
::sees a med team arrive to check on the wounded, two use a hover stretcher to take Zria off the bridge to sickbay::

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks at the XO and nods :: XO:  Commander, how may I be of service?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Not to mention the fact that we may not have inertial dampeners ... so going anywhere would not be a good idea ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  I'm glad to see you.  Any ideas on what we should do next?

SO_Heath says:
XO: Commander, it looks like the fight is pretty even and that all the ships are taking damage

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_Mario> :: continues to check the progress of the teams the crew working on impulse checks in with some promise and he focuses all his attentions now on the nav deflector and ideally inertial dampeners diverting multiple teams to the same task to speed up repairs ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives back on the bridge, and takes a seat next to the XO::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: SO:  Unfortunately there's not much we can do right now ...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: All better, ma'am.  Supok repaired my ribs.

SO_Heath says:
XO: Yes, Ma'am.

OPS-Powers says:
:: Sees the fruit of his labors paying off... ::   FCO: You have 1/4 impulse on thrusters, but I understand we do not have inertial dampers.  I'll try to get a team to work on that.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  My advice would be to get inertial damper back online Commander.  I would gladly assist in that endeavor.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Glad to hear it, Commander.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Then please do so.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: What has been happening since I left?

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods and heads for engineering to try and repair the dampers ::

FCO_Bodine says:
OPS: I believe a team is on it but feel free to take over their supervision Mr. Powers

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  We have partial phasers, 3 photon torpedo shots ...

OPS-Powers says:
XO: Ma'am...we have power to tactical...but 22% for phasers

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Please man tactical, Commander.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::checks the readout on the arm of his chair, and sees that there is slight power to the weapons systems::

OPS-Powers says:
:: Nods at the FCO ::   Self: Now...to work on internal comms...

CIV_Serok says:
:: arrives in engineering and begins the search ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Understood. ::Transfers tactical readouts back to TAC 1::

SO_Heath says:
::continues to watch the battle outside the ship::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
SO:  What readings are you able to get on that massive Gorn vessel?

CIV_Serok says:
:: the computer gives her the information and she checks the unit ::

SO_Heath says:
XO: I'm getting it's position and...wait, it's venting plasma to port.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: We have power to the weapons systems, but as you said, not a lot.  However, the targeting sensors aren’t working.  I could take shots at it, and with its size, probably hit it.  However, I might also hit one of our ships as well.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
SO:  So it can be damaged ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Understood.

SO_Heath says:
XO: Yes, Ma'am, it's taking damage

OPS-Powers says:
:: Still working on re-establishing internal comms... ::

FCO_Bodine says:
:: careful not to move them anywhere he uses short bursts from the RCS thrusters t turn the Scorpius on her X-Axis to give the SO a better sweep of the area :: XO: I am attempting to turn us at a slow rate. It might even improve the feeling of gravity given the added Gs in a single direction. Trying to assist the SO a bit hope you don't mind sir.

CIV_Serok says:
:: access the console and re-initializes the computer control on the dampeners ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  No problem, Lt.

SO_Heath says:
XO: Commander, that vessel you were asking about is adrift now, listing to starboard and appears to be venting atmosphere.

CIV_Serok says:
:: waits for the computer to verify that the dampers have been re-established ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Inertial Dampers are restored and the ship responds to the helm at 1/2 impulse

OPS-Powers says:
:: Still working on re-routing power to internal comms and finding it more a challenge ::

CIV_Serok says:
:: nods to herself and heads back to the bridge ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Internal Comms are partially restored...critical areas (Bridge, ME, Sickbay) only.

OPS-Powers says:
:: Sees the connections, but only to critical areas ::    XO: We have limited internal comms...to the Bridge, main engineering and to sickbay only

FCO_Bodine says:
:: sighs :: XO: I have Impulse ma'am! 1/2 power. I could use new eyes however. SO: what do you think you could guide me?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::hears the reports and sighs:: FCO: Stabilize our position ... Keep us from drifting.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  What's the status of our shields?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am.  I have an off the wall idea.  The Ready room has a window.  We could have someone tell us if anything is in front of us, and move away from the battle area.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the FCO stabilizes the ship from the drifting tumble and gains control of the ship

FCO_Bodine says:
<EO_Mario> :: static clearing :: *OPS*: Co ..s .. Comms Restored to some systems.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Still no shields, ma'am.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Only our deflector is keeping anything from slamming into us.

CIV_Serok says:
:: arrives back on the bridge ::

OPS-Powers says:
*EO Mario*: Ack...now...edged.

FCO_Bodine says:
:: maintains a stable altitude and pitch :: XO: Aye ma'am we are leveling out! Keeping us behind the lines. If I can help it!

SO_Heath says:
XO/FCO:  SRS are online at 85% and we can get a tactical display

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Nice job, Mr Serok.  FCO:  Good.

CIV_Serok says:
:: goes to an empty console and pulls up the systems stats ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Can we use SRS to navigate?

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Still no targeting sensors, ma'am.  I fear they are gone for good this time.

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: Lets me try Commander :: trying to bring the in system navigation online through the Short range sensor pallets ::

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Understood.  FCO:  Set course for Avalon Station.  Get us clear of the battle area.

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow at the XO and turns back to the console ::

FCO_Bodine says:
:: attempts to bring the star chart online for a plot to Avalon ::

CEO_Regnum says:
Self: Let's try this again... *Bridge* Regnum to Bridge

FCO_Bodine says:
XO: Commander, I know this wont please you sir, but I can't get us out of here yet I can't even plot the course. I'm  sorry :: thinks it is best he not talk for a while ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sees a readout on his sensor display:: 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, I am reading a massive explosion on sensors.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  The Gorn vessel?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CEO*:  We read you, Mr Regnum.  How are the repairs going?

OPS-Powers says:
:: Looks over at the FCO and smile encouragingly  while keeping an eye on the re-routes hoping they don't blow ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: I believe so, but we have a bigger problem incoming.  We have a level 2 shock wave coming at us.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  And we have no shields.  Can we outrun it?

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Get us out of here, Lt.  Any direction away from that shockwave will do.

CEO_Regnum says:
*XO* Not good commander, I've been climbing through the underbelly trying to repair the damage caused to the warp plasma conduits, I've been in areas of the ship with no comms for about an hour.

OPS-Powers says:
:: Opens all internal comms hoping the message gets out to everyone, knowing some area of the ship is still having trouble ::

FCO_Bodine says:
:: attempts to angle the ship so it is more like a thin flower then a bustling sail ::

FCO_Bodine says:
:: sets best impulse and angle and prays ::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: No hope of out running that wave, ma'am.

OPS-Powers says:
*Shipwide*: All hands, prepare for incoming shockwave ...I repeat prepare and brace for incoming shockwave

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Shockwave expands radically from the Gorn vessel...

CEO_Regnum says:
*XO* One good thing from all this, I've definitely familiarized myself with all the Jeffries tubes on the ship since that battle, did you know if you took junction J32 you could get from main engineering to the lounge in half the time as the turbolifts?

CEO_Regnum says:
::braces for impact::

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Shipwide* All hands, this is CTO Garta-Nmbarri, if you can, move away from the outer hull area, and fast!

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
::chuckles:: *CEO*:  that's handy to know.  But I think you might have more work to do very shortly ...

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Turn us into the wave ... try to stabilize our position as best you can.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A Vessel extends its shields around the Scorpius as it tries to get out of the path of the shockwave and stabilizes it in space with a tractor beam...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Ma'am, one of the federation ships has us in a tractor beam, and it appears their shields are around us as well.

CEO_Regnum says:
::feels the shudder of the tractor beam:: Self: What the?  Surely there wouldn't be 2 shipwide announcements about a shockwave that small

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
ALL:  Everyone hang on!

OPS-Powers says:
:: Tries to identify the ship who has extended it's shields ::

CEO_Regnum says:
::runs to a console now that he's on deck again and not in a Jeffries tube, gets to main engineering and checks readouts::

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Scorpius:  This is the USS Tianenmen, Captain Holdt in command.  Do you require assistance, Scorpius?

FCO_Bodine says:
:: ignores the XO's a moment as they are caught in an allied tractor he tries to match the assisting vessel and bring them closer to it and deeper within her shields :: XO: Hold on ma'am we are in another tractor they are extending shields to assist us! 

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::opens a channel to the Tianenmen:: XO: Channel open to the Tianenmen, Ma'am.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: Tianenmen:  You bet we do.  Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.  We are unable to outrun or withstand the shockwave.

Host Gerry says:
@COMM: Scorpius:  I think we got that handled, Scorpius.  I'll have my engineering and medical departments coordinate with yours, Captain.

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: Seems the cavalry has arrived just in time, Ma'am.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
COMM: Tianenmen:  Thank you, Captain.  Scorpius Out.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Indeed.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Tianenmen and Tripoli take the Scorpius in tow in dual tractor beams and create a static warp field, then accelerate all vessels into warp, on course to Avalon station...

CTO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
XO: When we are free and clear, May I have permission to return to sickbay?  I need to check on Jenise and Pel Tor.

XO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  You may indeed, Commander.

Host Gerry says:
