USS Scorpius - NCC 50666 - 10501.22

"Dangerous Liaisons"

Episode 17:  Requiem et Pache Deus

It is feared that Sobek is actually an agent of the Vulcan Wuh'sha, a shadowy organization dedicated to Vulcan succession from the Articles of the Federation at any cost, and that he is trying to liberate Dark Horse, the alleged leader of the Wuh’sha before he can be given over to Starfleet.

Sensors are coming back online slowly, shields are still down and not responding, and the Scorpius is at all-stop because of some programming antics from Sobek.

The crew of the Scorpius, following protocol, restricted the options open to Ensign Sobek and Dark Horse as they attempted to escape while wearing a personal cloak of some sort.

Finally, a random shot in the dark as a precaution seems to have silenced the corridor on Deck 17 outside the secondary computer core...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
:: On the bridge at Tactical Station 1::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::on the bridge::

CIV_Serok says:
:: on deck 16, searching ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  Bridge to Capt Serok .. we may have them ... Deck 17 near the secondary computer core.

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*:  Acknowledged Captain.  Shall I proceed to 17 or do  you require me on the bridge?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  No, Get to Deck 17.  We believe Sobek may be using some kind of personal cloak.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*All Sec Teams* Converge in and around secondary Computer core.  I want every inch of that surrounding area scoured.

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*:  Aye Captain.  On my way.

CIV_Serok says:
Sec Team:  Deck 17, they have been cornered.  Proceed.

FCO_Heath says:
::locks out all shuttles and transporters::

CIV_Serok says:
:: goes to the nearest turbolift and enters :: Computer: deck 17

FCO_Heath says:
::uses sensors to continue the attempt to locate the intruder::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Tell your security people to use phasers on wide beam.  Use the same method Ryan used...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*All Sec Teams* CTO Horn has notified the bridge that he may have hit Sobek with phaser fire.  Sweep the floors with phasers on stun, and if you have to, use your feet to search everywhere in that area.

CIV_Serok says:
:: exits the lift and approaches the secondary computer core area ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*All Sec Teams* Sweep all areas with low level wide beam phaser fire, shelving areas, counter tops, consoles.  Make sure you get into every corner.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: If Sobek is in that area, the odds of him escaping the phaser sweeps are low.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Agreed.

CIV_Serok says:
:: begins to search the area, feeling around with her feet and hands ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: As for Dark Horse, has anyone thought about literally checking the brig cell?  If Sobek has a personal cloak, perhaps he got one to Dark Horse as well.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  CIV feels her left foot strike something, and when she looks down, she doesn't see her foot.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  That's a good point, Commander.  Check it out.

CIV_Serok says:
:: bends down and feels where her foot should be ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I will send a team to the brig, to sweep that as well.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  See to it yourself, Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Will do, Ma'am.  If you will excuse me. ::turns and heads for the turbolift::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  CIV's hand disappears, but she can feel her foot and hand

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Any sign of any attempt to override our lockouts?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Enters the lift, and orders it to the brig area::

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*:  Captain, I've found something.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  What is it, Captain?

FCO_Heath says:
CO:  No, ma'am.  The lockouts seem secure, Captain.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*Sec Team Beta* Meet me at the brig.  I want you to assist me with something.

CIV_Serok says:
:: feels where she thinks what is on her boot is lying. ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Good.  Keep an eye out for other ships...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Someone could come to try to rescue Sobek and Dark Horse.  I want to know the minute they try...

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Understood.  ::continues to monitor sensors::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives at the brig, and orders the security team to stand ready in front of the cell.  Upon dropping the force field, they are ordered to sweep the entire cell with low setting wide beam phaser fire, leaving no area of the cell untouched::

CIV_Serok says:
*CO*:  I feel a warm body Captain.  I would hypothesize that it is someone with a personal cloaking device.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*CIV*:  I'm on my way.  See if you can disable that device.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  You have the bridge, Lt.  ::gets up and heads to the TL::

CIV_Serok says:
::  feels down the body to try and locate the device ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::when the phaser sweep is finished, he enters the cell, and feels around for any cloaked bodies, and finds nothing::

FCO_Heath says:
::stays alert on sensors, thinking about the cloaked ships that were used before::

FCO_Heath says:
::looks up:: CO: Aye, Sir.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the TL:: Computer:  Deck 17.

CIV_Serok says:
:: finds the device and attempts to deactivate it ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO*: Garta-Nmbarri to Captain Horn, I can now confirm that Dark Horse has escaped from the brig.  There is nobody in here.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  T'Lok, Capt Serok has found something.  Meet me on Deck 17.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO:* On my way.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives on Deck 17 and runs towards the CIV's location::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Enters a turbolift and orders it to deck 17::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::approaches the CIV's location and slows to a walk::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The cloaking device deactivates, revealing Ensign Sobek...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives on deck 17, and heads for the captains location::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::arrives to see the cloak deactivate::

CIV_Serok says:
:: looks up at the CO and XO approach :: CO/XO:  This is not Dark Horse.  I assume this is Ensign Sobek.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives at the CIV's side, and looks down at Ensign Sobek::

FCO_Heath says:
::monitors the sensor sweeps, both internal and external::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The cloaking device on Sobek's belt begins to emit a low whine...

CIV_Serok says:
:: moves a little away from Sobek and begins to feel around on the floor, searching for Dark Horse ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  It is.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: What is that sound?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks down and realizes its coming from the cloaking device::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I don't know ... find out!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: It’s the cloak!

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Beam it off the ship now!

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The whining noise from the belt grows louder...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::places his COM badge on the device, and orders a transporter lock on it, and orders it beamed into space::

FCO_Heath says:
::notices the energy build up:: *CO*: There appears to be an energy build up outside the computer core on deck 17

CIV_Serok says:
:: continues to search for Dark Horse ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*FCO*:  We got it.  There's a device on Ensign Sobek's belt that is emitting the energy.  We need to beam it off the ship now, Lt.

FCO_Heath says:
::hears the XO's orders and unlocks the transporter system...locks onto the device and transports it into space::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The device, after a short delay while the transporter lockouts are cancelled, is transported off the ship and explodes harmlessly.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Now get him to the brig.  Maximum security.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: well, that is interesting.  It seems the cloak is designed to self-destruct if it is tampered with.

CIV_Serok says:
CO/XO:  I am assuming that Dark Horse is here as well.  :: continues to search for him ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO/CIV:  I'm assuming Dark Horse has a cloak as well.  Continue with the wide beam phaser bursts until we find him.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Too bad I couldn’t study that cloak.  Perhaps we could have found the frequency it worked on, and neutralize the one on dark horse.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: If you will excuse me, I have a prisoner to take to the brig.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Shall we continue to search, Captain?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Reaches down, picks up Sobek, and tosses him over his shoulder in a fireman’s carry::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Certainly Captain.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Enters a turbolift, and orders it to the brig::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::gets out her phaser, sets it on wide beam low intensity and begins sweeping:: CIV:  Start with the core.  We'll spread out from there.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  A moment Captain.  If Dark Horse is conscious, I should be able to sense him.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  See if you can.

CIV_Serok says:
:: attempts to sense Dark Horse ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives at the brig, and unceremoniously tosses Sobek into a cell, and orders the force field raised.  Then, he orders 5 security guards to watch it at all times::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO*: Captain, would you like me to join the search, or should I remain here watching Sobek?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  I think security can handle it, T’Lok.  Get down here and help with the search.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO*: on my way.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Heads back to the turbolift, and orders it back to deck 17::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Anything?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  I do not sense him.  He is either unconscious or he is not on the ship.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::motions to security to begin the sweep:: CIV:  Then let's see if we can find him ... ::heads for the core::

CIV_Serok says:
:: enters the door to the core ::

CIV_Serok says:
:: begins to feel around for him ::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives on deck 17, and heads back to the secondary computer core::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::begins carefully checking any areas where someone could hide::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Joins the search, looking behind and under all areas, sweeping with his size 21 boot::

CIV_Serok says:
:: bumps her hand against something warm ::  CO:  Captain.  I believe I have found him.

Ens_Sobek says:
::blinks and moans::

CIV_Serok says:
::  feels to his belt to find the device ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns:: CIV:  Can we deactivate the cloak without it destructing?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Captain, I cannot see it, there fore I can only deactivate it one way.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Do it.  Have the bridge prepare to immediately beam it off the ship.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Ma'am, I can’t use my COM badge to have it beamed into space this time.  

Ens_Sobek says:
::looks around the cell::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  No, but you CAN use mine... ::gives him her combadge::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Aye Captain.   *FCO*:  Mister Heath, lock onto my combadge.  Beam it out into space on my mark.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::Grins:: XO:  Or Captain Serok can use hers ...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Hands the CO's combadge back:: CO: That won’t be necessary, Ma'am.

FCO Heath says: 
*CIV*:  Aye, Captain.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::takes it back and waits::

CIV_Serok says:
:: deactivates the device, takes her combadge and places it on the device as soon as dark horse and the device appears ::

Ens_Sobek says:
::takes a deep breath::

CIV_Serok says:
*FCO*:  Energize.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  the device begins to emit a whine and dematerializes in a transporter beam...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I just thought of something ... have your security people make sure Sobek doesn't try to take his own life ... was he checked to see if he had any substances on him?

Ens_Sobek says:
::grabs something on his shirt lapel and swallows it::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I never thought about that.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Do it now!  And have Dark Horse checked as well.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Sobek begins to feel horrible cramps in his stomach...

Ens_Sobek says:
::doubles over in pain::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Contacts the guard at the brig, and orders one of them to enter the cell and search Sobek, but is informed that Sobek has just ingested something::

CIV_Serok says:
:: begins to check Dark Horse over for anything that may be on him ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Sobek begins to turn blue...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
Self: NO! CO: He just ingested something.

Ens_Sobek says:
::convulses on the deck of the brig::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Darn!  Get medical down there!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*SICKBAY*: Get a medic to the brig, on the double!

CIV_Serok says:
:: finds something on the right collar of Dark Horses tunic, takes it and looks at it ::

Ens_Sobek says:
::shakes like a rag doll on the deck of the brig::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Sobek expires on the floor of the brig cell.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  I believe that I may have found what Sobek has ingested.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*FCO*:  Horn to Bridge.  Set course for Vulcan.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: This is all my fault.  In my zeal to get him into custody, I never gave a thought to him carrying something to cause his self-demise.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Any idea on what it is...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Don't worry about it, T'Lok.  I thought of it too late myself.  But at least we have Dark Horse...

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  It is a capsule of some type Captain.  I will send it to sickbay to be analyzed.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Yes, the ringleader, per se.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Good.  Let's return to Vulcan with our friend here ... We'll contact Starfleet and let them know what we have.

CIV_Serok says:
:: takes her tricorder to do and initial scan of the pill ::

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  It is Sodium Thiocyanate Captain.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Get him into custody, T'Lok.  Make sure he has nothing else on him first...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Cyanide?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Simple yet effective, Ma'am.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  I have searched him thoroughly Captain.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  That is the initial analysis from the tricorder Sir.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Just being cautious, Captain.  Let's head back for Vulcan.  We'll transfer Dark Horse to Federation security there and he can be transported to Earth.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Even so, Captain, I will have a medic do a complete scan of him.  That way, we can be certain he has nothing hidden subdermally.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Good.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes "Dark Horse" to the brig once again, and orders a medic from sickbay to come scan him::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  That is a logical precaution.

FCO_Heath says:
*CO*: There is a Vulcan defense vessel heading our way at high warp

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*FCO*: Hail them, Lt.  I'm on my way back up to the bridge.

FCO_Heath says:
*CO*: Our eta to Vulcan is 15 minutes.  ::hears the CO:: Yes, ma'am.  ::begins hailing the Vulcan ship

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Any thoughts on why a Vulcan ship would be heading in our direction?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Once again, unceremoniously tosses "Dark Horse" into the cell, and stands guard as the medic does a full scan of him::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::motions for the CIV to accompany her as she heads to the TL::

CIV_Serok says:
:: nod and follows the CO ::

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Scorpius:  This is the Vulcan Transport T'Kar.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::enters the TL and orders it to the Bridge::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO*: Captain, Dark Horse has been found to be clear of anything that can cause him harm.  I am returning to the bridge unless you have anything else for me to do?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
*XO*:  No, meet us on the bridge, Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
*CO*: on my way.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::exits the TL onto the bridge:: FCO:  Any reply from the Vulcan ship, Lt?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::leaves the brig area, but before heading to the bridge, he stops at the ships store to pick up two COM badges, one for him, and one for CIV Serok::

CIV_Serok says:
:: stands in the lift with her hands behind her back ::

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Scorpius:  This is Minister S'Tak of the Vulcan Defense Ministry.  I am here to take custody of your prisoner.

FCO_Heath says:
CO:  Yes, Ma'am.  They've just responded, it's the T'Kar, on Screen.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Upon receiving the badges, he enters a lift and orders it to the bridge::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: T'Kar:  This is Captain Horn, Commander of the Scorpius.  With all due respect, Minister, we would like to transport the prisoner ourselves.

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Scorpius:  Captain, this is highly irregular.  This is an internal Vulcan matter.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Arrives on the bridge, and approaches the CIV:: CIV: Here, Captain.  I picked up another combadge for you.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  Thank you Commander.  :: takes the badge ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: T'Kar:  I disagree, Minister.  This is more than an internal Vulcan matter ... these renegades have attacked our ship on numerous occasions ... this is now a Federation matter.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Takes a seat next to the CO::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: I completely agree.  In no way should we turn the prisoner over to them.

CIV_Serok says:
:: raises her eyebrow ::

FCO_Heath says:
::watches the view screen and listens to the Minister::

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Scorpius: Nevertheless, Captain, this is Vulcan jurisdiction, and I order you to surrender your prisoner or face the consequences with the Federation Council.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: As a matter of fact, I wouldn't even stop at Vulcan. I would take the prisoners directly to the Federation Council, and Star Fleet Security.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: S'Tak:  Again, Minister .. we already know of two Vulcan Ministers who were involved with the Wuh'sha ... how do I know you are not involved?

FCO_Heath says:
::reaches over and mutes the COM from the Scorpius:: CO: Captain, pardon me for interrupting your discussion with the minister.  However, I sense falsehood from him.  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::turns to the CIV:: CIV:  Do you agree, Captain?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  It is a reasonable precaution Captain.

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Scorpius:  ::raised eyebrow::  If I were emotional, I would be offended, Captain.  Do you seek an interstellar incident?  Surrender your prisoner or I shall be forced to take him by force.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::nods:: FCO:  Thank you, Lt.

FCO_Heath says:
::reactivates the com::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: And they are supposed to be on our side?  That does not sound like any logical Vulcan that I have ever served with.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
::raises an eyebrow:: COM: S'Tak:  You would attack a Federation vessel, Minister?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Agreed.  Recommendations?

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  That is highly illogical.

Host Gerry says:
@COM: Scorpius:  Only for non-compliance under interstellar law.  

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Raise shields, and set a course for Star Fleet Command, maximum warp.

FCO_Heath says:
::returns her attention to the view screen, reaches out to try to get more of a sense of what is happening::  CO:  They are powering their weapons.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Raise shields.  FCO:  Set course for the nearest Federation installation, maximum warp.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Pushes a few buttons on the arm of his chair, raising shields::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Shields up, Maximum strength Ma'am.

CIV_Serok says:
:: moves to an empty console ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
COM: S'Tak:  We do not wish to fire on you, Minister ... but we will not surrender our prisoner to you.  ::motions for the FCO to cut the comm::

FCO_Heath says:
::sets  the ordered course and engages at max:: CO: Going to maximum warp, sir

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Monitor for pursuit, Lt.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: What is the closest Federation station?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Vulcan vessel opens fire on the Scorpius, but misses as the vessel alters course and makes for Alpha Centauri

FCO_Heath says:
XO:  Alpha Centauri, Sir.  CO: Monitoring for pursuit as ordered

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Signal ahead; let them know our situation, and request assistance if it is available.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Send a message to Starfleet on secure channel and scrambled ... let them know we are coming and we may be coming in hot.

FCO_Heath says:
CO:  the Vulcan ship is pursuing

CIV_Serok says:
:: sits at empty console ::

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Keep us as far ahead of them as you can.

FCO_Heath says:
::sends the ordered messages::  CO/XO: Messages sent.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV/XO:  They are insistent, aren't they?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Captain, do you know the maximum velocity of that class of Vulcan ship?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Wouldn't you be, if one of your operatives were captured?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  I guess I would...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Let's keep them guessing .. choose the most illogical course you can...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
FCO: Time to Alpha Centauri?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Have a little fun...

FCO_Heath says:
CO:  their ship is capable of outrunning us...as of now, we have about a 4-minute lead

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Looks at the CO:: CO: Showing your comical side today?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Does it show, Commander?  ::grins::

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  It is a Vulcan destroyer.  It is faster and more heavily armed than we are.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: How long till they can overtake us?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
CIV:  Would following a completely erratic course help?

FCO_Heath says:
::Smiles:: CO:  Yes Ma'am ::plots an unusual route and continues to alter course.

CIV_Serok says:
XO:  About 4 minutes Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CIV: Are we out of their weapons range at this time?

FCO_Heath says:
XO: ETA to Alpha Centauri is 3.6 days, sir

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Signal Starfleet.  Tell them we are going to need that help as soon as possible...

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  We're not going to make it ... are we?

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sends and urgent COM to Star Fleet, and any friendly vessels in the area, requesting assistance::

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Not on speed alone, ma'am

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  Perhaps Captain.  They are 3.75 minutes from weapons range.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Do loops if you have to ... try to lose them…

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Several Starfleet vessels respond to the Scorpius urgent call, the nearest of which is 3 minutes away

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Understood 

FCO_Heath says:
::keeps up the unusual course changes to try to lose the Vulcan’s::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I have a response from a few star Fleet Vessels, the closest of which is 3 minutes away.  They are heading for us to assist.

CIV_Serok says:
CO:  3.26 minutes from weapons range....

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Good.  Inform them of who is chasing us ... and why...

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Vulcan Vessel increases speed to warp 9.75

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sends a message informing the responding vessels of what their situation is::

FCO_Heath says:
CO: The T'Kar has increased speed to 9.75

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: Our assistance is coming in weapons hot, Ma'am.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Can we increase speed?

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Are weapons on-line?

CIV_Serok says:
CO: Weapons range in 2 minutes.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: They are, Ma'am, and waiting for your order to fire.

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Some, but engineering will have to break a few rules

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Do what you can, Lt.

FCO_Heath says:
::contacts engineering and pushes the Scorpius’ speed:: CO: Aye

Host Gerry says:
   ACTION:  The Scorpius begins to shake slightly as speed is increased to warp 9.8

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Lock weapons on target but do not fire until I give the order...

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Locks weapons, and waits for the order to fire::

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: On your command, Captain.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  How long till they get here?

FCO_Heath says:
CO: We are outrunning them for the moment

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The T'Kar increases speed to 9.82

FCO_Heath says:
CO: Which they, Ma'am?  

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
FCO:  Both, Lt!

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
::Sends a COM to the incoming star fleet vessels, asking if they can increase their speeds at all::

FCO_Heath says:
CO: 1.8 minutes for the Vulcan ship and 2 minutes for our ally.

CO_AQilla_Horn says:
XO:  Prepare to fire ... disable them only, Commander.

XO_Garta-Nmbarri says:
CO: I have targeted their engines and weapons, Ma'am.

Host Gerry says:
