Episode 8:  Hide and Seek

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Scorpius:

Host Gerry says:
A Vulcan ship responded with the proper sign/countersign arrangement when communications were opened...

Host Gerry says:
But an intrusion attempt into their computer gave away that the Scorpius was not under Wuh’sha control.

Host Gerry says:
The Vulcan ship fled into some of the system's spatial and magnetic distortions in an attempt to flee.

Host Gerry says:
The ship has been painted by magnetic and tachyon signatures, and the Scorpius is able to track it, though the interference makes transporter use dicey.

Host Gerry says:
It is currently in the process of dispatching boarding parties to attempt to take the ship...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arriving in main shuttle bay ... waits for the security team and the CMO to arrive::

CTO_Raash says:
::In the Shuttle bay, preparing to head out with an Away Team::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CTO:  Once aboard we will split into 3 teams.  Search the ship and secure any prisoners.

CMO_Mahl says:
::Approaching the shuttle bay, prepared to do a quick scan of the CTO, give her a hypo for pain, then join the away team::

CMO_Mahl says:
::Enters the shuttle bay, sees the CTO, and goes to her::

CMO_Mahl says:
CTO: Now, what seems to be the problem.....before we leave?

FCO_Heath says:
::holding course as they track the ship and prepare the away team::

CTO_Raash says:
CMO: Part of the ceiling in my office gave way.  I was under it.  Caught me here pretty good. ::motions to the back of her head and neck:: I was unconscious for a while.

CMO_Mahl says:
::Takes his medical tricorder and scans the back of the CTO's head and neck::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the shuttle and preps for take off::

CMO_Mahl says:
CTO: Why wasn't I notified of this before now?

TO_Restmoor says:
::enters the shuttle bay and joins the people at the shuttle::

CTO_Raash says:
CMO: Because I had work to do on the bridge.  When I left my office, I received an order to get to the bridge immediately.  My physical problems are minor compared to the safety of the ship, Doctor.

FCO_Heath says:
::works with sciences to monitor the other ship::

CMO_Mahl says:
CTO: I admire your dedication, but I will be the one to judge how minor, or major, your medical problems are.  now, let's get on board before they leave without us.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
::brings the shuttle's systems on-line::

CMO_Mahl says:
::enters the shuttle, and takes a seat::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
CMO/CTO:  Doctor, you will lead one team, Ensign Raash the second.  I will lead the third.  Be prepared for resistance but I want the ship and it's crew taken alive.  Is that clear?

CMO_Mahl says:
ACO: I wouldn't have it any other way, Commander.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
*FCO*:  Shuttle bay to Bridge.  We are ready for departure.

CTO_Raash says:
::nods to the CMO and enters the shuttle::

CTO_Raash says:
ACO: Aye Ma'am.

FCO_Heath says:
*ACO*: Bridge to Away Team, bay doors opening, depart when ready.  ::keys to open bay doors::

CTO_Raash says:
TO: Stay with the ACO.  Bring her back safely.

CMO_Mahl says:
CTO: Your medical scan shows a minor contusion on the back of your skull, as well as slight damage to the lumbar region of your spine.  When we return from this mission, I want you in sickbay, no arguments.

TO_Restmoor says:
::nods to the CTO::

FCO_Heath says:
*ACO*: forwarding course headings to you now

CMO_Mahl says:
::nods back to the TO::

FCO_Heath says:
::forwards all pertinent information::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the shuttle with AT Alpha launches from the Scorpius...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*FCO*:  Keep the ship out of danger, Lt.  ::receives the information::

CTO_Raash says:
@::continues to fire, trying to aim at her opposition::

CMO_Mahl says:
@::Fires at something that he sees move through the dust and phaser fire::

CTO_Raash says:
@ACO: I've got two near the door and fire is coming from above somewhere.

CTO_Raash says:
@ACO: I can't see where they are. ::continues to fire::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@CTO:  Can you take out the two near the door?  CMO:  You and I will take out the three above.

CTO_Raash says:
@::watches as the weapons flashes continues and tries to locate the Vulcans::

CMO_Mahl says:
@ACO: Understood.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@TO:  Mr Restmoor?

CTO_Raash says:
@ACO: Trying Ma'am, but it's difficult to see.

CMO_Mahl says:
@::using his own tricorder, finds a life sign, and targets it::

FCO_Heath says:
::thinks: c'mon, secure the situation::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::fires up from where the fire appears to be coming from::

CTO_Raash says:
@::leans to the edge of the hatch just enough to get a clean shot off at one of the Vulcans::

Host Gerry says:

CMO_Mahl says:
@::Fires his phaser at what he presumes is one of the Vulcans::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The hostiles are slowly driven back away from the hatch area...

CTO_Raash says:
@ACO: One down. ::starts to aim for the other one::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@ALL:  Move out!  Secure the location!

CTO_Raash says:
@::watches them back away and heads out of the shuttle::

CTO_Raash says:
@Alpha Team: Cover all exits!

FCO_Heath says:
::almost regrets not being over there herself::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::moves out laying down cover fire::

CMO_Mahl says:
@Self: I go to medical school to protect lives, and here I am shooting at people.

CTO_Raash says:
@::moves to the door where the hostiles were::

ACTION:  The Phaser fire stops...

CTO_Raash says:
@::sees the security team finish their shots::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::looks around her knowing something is amiss::

CTO_Raash says:
@ACO: Now, why does the sound of peace in the hall make me nervous?

CMO_Mahl says:
@CTO: I agree.

CTO_Raash says:
@ACO: Permission to leave one security here with the shuttle on lock down and move out.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@CTO:  I know the feeling.  Anything on the tricorder?

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@CTO:  Agreed.  Lets move but use extreme caution::

CTO_Raash says:
@B'Let: Stay here.

CTO_Raash says:
@Alpha Team: Move out.

CTO_Raash says:

CTO_Raash says:
@::raises her rifle and moves out into the corridor::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::moves out::

FCO_Heath says:
::looks at sensors then has OPS open a line to the away team::

CMO_Mahl says:
@::Looks at the security members that are with him, and tells them to move out::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@CMO/CTO:  Check in with the other teams every 10 minutes.  Use a secure and scrambled channel.

FCO_Heath says:
*ACO* Heath to Away Team, Commander, you have to pull back, the warp core of that ship is starting to overload.

CTO_Raash says:
@ACO: Aye Ma'am.

CTO_Raash says:
@::motions to her team to follow her as she turns down the first hall.::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The AT comes into sight of the main navigation room...

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*FCO*:  Understood.  *CTO*:  Can you get to the engine room?  The warp core is beginning to overload and I don't want to come over here for nothing ...

FCO_Heath says:
::notes the ejection of several life pods::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::reaches the main navigation room ... moves over to a console and sits::

FCO_Heath says:
*ACO* Commander, life pods are ejecting, so far I detect no life forms on board them.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*FCO*:  Understood.

CTO_Raash says:
@::looks over at Bel and sees him nod:: *ACO* On our way Ma'am.  I can be there in less than a minute.

CTO_Raash says:
@::picks up the pace a bit::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*FCO*:  I have found what appears to be the navigation room.

FCO_Heath says:
*ACO* You have right at 5 minutes before the warp core goes critical

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::attempts to access the computer::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*CTO*:  Ensign, you have 5 minutes until the core goes critical.  Be ready to move back to the shuttle in a hurry if you can't eject the core.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  ACO accesses the computer, with a Vulcan interface.

CTO_Raash says:
@::enters the engineering room and moves to a console::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::finds she has access ... attempts to override the warp core overload::

CMO_Mahl says:
@::Continues to search the ship, finding no crew members::

FCO_Heath says:
*ACO* Understood, good luck

Host Gerry says:
@ACTION:  The ACO is locked out of the console from Main Engineering

TO_Restmoor says:
@::guards the ACO in case attackers come::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*CMO*:  Doctor Mahl, we are reading the warp core is about to go critical.  Be ready to pull your team back in case we cannot override it.

CTO_Raash says:
@::tries to access the console::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*CTO*:  Ensign, I have access to the computer but I'm locked out of this console from somewhere in Engineering.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Several hostiles pop up in Engineering and open fire at the team...

CTO_Raash says:
@::swings her rifle back around and opens fire::

CMO_Mahl says:
@*ACO* Understood, Commander.

CTO_Raash says:
@*ACO* We're under fire here Ma'am.  I'll help you as soon as I can.

FCO_Heath says:
*ACO* I'm bringing the Scorpius to within transporter range.  I'll have OPS lock on to all life forms and be prepared to transport.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::Attempts to override the lockout::

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@*FCO*:  Do it but standby.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The consoles in navigation all go dead...

CTO_Raash says:
@Sadek: We'll cover you.  Get to a console.  You are the only one of us who can read the language.

FCO_Heath says:
::plots escape vector as she moves the ship forward, then has OPS prepare to transport all life signs to cargo bay.::

CTO_Raash says:
@<Sadek> ::nods and moves to a console away from the fire line::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  After a minute or so of weapons fire, only Away Team members are left standing in Engineering.

ACO_AQilla_Horn says:
@::swears loudly in Romulan as the console goes dead:: TO:  Let's see if we can get to the bridge.  ::prepares to move out::

CMO_Mahl says:
@::Orders the security team that he is leading to head towards engineering, to give assistance to the CTO::

FCO_Heath says:
*Security* Security to Cargo bay 1.  Secure the bay for possible transport from the Vulcan ship.

CTO_Raash says:
@Team: Okay that's it.  Let's shut down that core breach and get access for Cmdr. Horn.

FCO_Heath says:
OPS: Standby, but be ready if that warp core continues to approach critical.

TO_Restmoor says:
@::follows the ACO with his phaser rifle at the ready, searching around for signs of attack as they move::

FCO_Heath says:
<OPS> FCO: I have them

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the Core Overload is stopped from Engineering as the plasma relays are vented and cleared...

CMO_Mahl says:
@::Arrives in engineering, just as the core overload is stopped::

CTO_Raash says:
@*ACO* The overload is stopped.  I'm working on the access.
