Imogene says:
@Jez: our shields are working sporadically......sensors are working minimally...We will have to work on visual.....But, they have the same problems....

CO_Miller says:
XO:  No, you will join us also.

CEO_T`Paula says:

Jezabell says:
@Imo: noted. Anyway we can't do a thing about it, can we?

CTO_Selan says:
<Daniels> ::Proceeds to the Tac. station in Selan's place, and tries to compensate for the disruption caused by the Badlands::

XO_Jude says:
::Enters the RR and sits on the other side of the CO::

CEO_T`Paula says:
::finds an empty seat::

Jezabell says:
@Imo: Borg ... they are really strange but still they have nice little technology to help us here!

CNS_Ethen says:
::stands for a moment to get bearings:: CO: Ensign Alex Ethen Reporting sir..

CTO_Selan says:
::Glances at the new Counselor::

CO_Miller says:
CNS:  Nice to have you aboard.  Please take a seat.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::Looks at the new CNS::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, I think we are all here.

EO_AQilla says:
::continues to repair battle damage::

CNS_Ethen says:
CO: thanks you sir  ::sits down and sets padd on table::

Imogene says:
@jez: Well, if you want, we can always go back to sector 8B and pick up one of them......LOLOLOL.....they should still be floating around there someplace !!! LOLOLOLOL

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at the new councilor::

CNS_Ethen says:
::notices the CTO::

CO_Miller says:
::nods at Troi::  All:  OK, let's get down to business.  Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Jezabell says:
@Imo: no thanks I don't want them on board! I don't like them that much!

CNS_Ethen says:
::nods to the CSO:: 

XO_Jude says:
CO:   I believe we can rule out an encounter with the Borg.... at least on the scout ship

Imogene says:
@jez: yes...well, good thing most of them were in a sleep mode when we found them...

Jezabell says:
@Imo: When will we arrived to our next victim?

FCO-Starr says:
CO: I think we should only use thrusters, and plot a course out, that way we don't give them anything to lock sensors on.

CO_Miller says:
XO:  Yes, but we can't rule them entirely out.

CTO_Selan says:
::Listens to the CO and XO's conversation::

CO_Miller says:
::nods at Troi::  FCO:  Agreed.

CNS_Ethen says:
::watches::

Jezabell says:
@ Imo: and good thing I, we were able to shut down their homing beacon.

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Selan?

Imogene says:
@jez: well, I'm sure they haven't left....We will have to basically look out of the viewer and ports and visually site them..

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Yes sir?

XO_Jude says:
True,  but I sensed regular humanoids on the ship, possibly Kazon

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  For the purpose of waiting for reinforcements?

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  I know you have some input.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Since the S can fire from all sides, be prepared to fire when we exit.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Aye, sir. ::Pulls out his padd::

Jezabell says:
@Imo: damn it, if the Borg knew that this little wonder didn't blew up...

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Reinforcements for whom?

CNS_Ethen says:
XO: Sir, the report I was handed indicated only 4 life signs.. all non-Borg

CTO_Selan says:
ALL: While we may not be dealing with the Borg, we are dealing with their technology. Thus, I would suggest that we proceed with a type of modulation program for the shields, as other vessels have done before when encountering Borg vessels.

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  I am uncertain of the reason for proceeding quietly out of here unless it is to remain unknown until reinforcements at which point we will continue after the Borg cube.

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: The Borg cube is after us.  I am sure once we leave the area, we will be spotted.

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Hold on one moment Selan.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Aye, sir.

Jezabell says:
@Imo: When we I...We are going to destroy another freighter?

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  So how do you think we should proceed?

CTO_Selan says:
CNS: And on another note, Counselor. One of the 4 beings was apparently killed when she beamed over to the Kazon vessel and it was destroyed.

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  We have two options.. proceed with trying to locate them on our terms, or to wait until we have reinforcements.

CNS_Ethen says:
CTO: yes thanks you Selan..

Imogene says:
@Jez: We can proceed at any time.....it's just that the federation starship is around....your pleasure?

CTO_Selan says:
::nods::

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  I definitely want to locate them on OUR terms.

CNS_Ethen says:
::taps fingers in annoyance::

CTO_Selan says:
<Daniels> ::Trying to scan through the Badlands for the Scout ship::

CTO_Selan says:
::Notices the Counselor's tapping::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Then could we not lay them a trap?

Jezabell says:
@Imo: We can beat that little SF Ship... I want the gold mine on the next freighter...

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  What kind of trap Tsalea?

Jezabell says:
@Imo: When we are in shooting range do your little magic on the freighter and then beam us aboard.

FCO-Starr says:
::looks to the CSO to explain::

CTO_Selan says:
::Considers CSO's idea, formulates plans that they could initiate to do so::

Imogene says:
@Jez: you got it chief.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::waits for CSO

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  We should find a location that is to our advantage, we have been here before... what about the pirate base... and let the Borg crew follow us there.

CNS_Ethen says:
::makes office notes of the meeting on Padd::

CMOStarr says:
::makes notes::

CO_Miller says:
FCO:  How far are we from the pirate base?

Jezabell says:
@::thinks of the database she'll steal on the next LUCKY victim:: Self: It's really wonderful being ME! ::evil laugh::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, in here it is hard to tell, since we have been drifting.

Imogene says:
@::goes to the edge of the badlands...still in a small nebula::

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  How could we possibly use going to the pirate base to our advantage?

CO_Miller says:
::nods at Troi::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, what I know of the Badlands, only one avenue is open to us, and I am sure the Borg scout ship knows that location.  We will be the ones walking into a trap.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Sir, as to T'salea's plan, perhaps if we mask our signature with that of a freighter's signature, they would come after us?

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  I am trying to formulate a plan that gives us an upper hand.  At this point, it is knowing the area.  CTO:  How much of the base was destroyed?

Jezabell says:
@Imo: Status.

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Please, go on Selan.

Imogene says:
@Jez: I think we have something coming.......scanning...

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::listens to the conversation around her::

Jezabell says:
@Imo: Good! Great!

CTO_Selan says:
CSO: Well, we did open fire with several volleys of torpedoes, which apparently collided with their weapons storage, cause about 98% of the base to explode. There was not much left, ma'am.

CNS_Ethen says:
::senses tension::

CSOTsalea says:
CTO:  Then there is currently no weapons there... what would it take to finish of the base?

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Well sir... ::Shifts his position:: If we make our signature look as though we were a freighter, and then perhaps make it seem we are carrying some "expensive" cargo, they would come after us. The inhabitants of the Borg Ship have showed interest in freighters before.

CTO_Selan says:
CSO: Not much, perhaps a round or two of phaser fire.

CSOTsalea says:
CTO:  Then if we could lure them onto the base....

CNS_Ethen says:
CSO: If I may ask? How strong are the magnets poles of the planet or mass in question?

CO_Miller says:
XO:  Jude, what do you think?

Jezabell says:
@Imo: STATUS, NOW!

CTO_Selan says:
CSO: I am not entirely sure if Starfleet fully investigated the base, 98% of the upper structure was destroyed... if there was a lower structure however, below ground.

CNS_Ethen says:
CSO: could we use them to mask our true position?

XO_Jude says:
CO:  I like Selan's plan,  we could offer to surrender,   I also suggest that we issue the crew old earth weapons called Uzi’s,  logs from the Enterprise crew indicate that personal shielding we've encountered with Borg and Kazon are only effective with energy based weapons, and these ballistic type weapons just tear apart their torsos.....

CSOTsalea says:
CNS:  There was the base as well as a hidden planet that is more legend then fact.  We have the basic area of that... we never quite made it to the planet itself.

CNS_Ethen says:
CSO: I see.. thanks you for your input.. I will make a note of that

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  Why would they believe us to surrender?

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods at the Captain:: CO: Commander Emmanuel's idea is good as well, and I still think we have the "Uzi’s" that we replicated months ago for our first encounter with a Borg vessel lying around in the armory.

XO_Jude says:
If we offer to surrender, they'd drop shields to board us,  we could board them and with our Uzi’s, and a large party, we could take the for of them.

Jezabell says:
@<Imo>: I'm still scanning Jez since the sensors are not fully operational it might take some time...

CO_Miller says:
XO:  Offer our surrender?

Jezabell says:
@Imo: Damn it! Do it quick! Fast! Gee, I don't have time to wait for scans!

CO_Miller says:
XO:  Couldn't we do something like that without surrendering?

CTO_Selan says:
XO: Three of them, sir. One of them beamed aboard the Kazon vessel before it got destroyed.

Kardo says:
#COM: Bajor: This is Major Kardo of the freighter Bulios..please confirm rendezvous point.

FCO-Starr says:
XO: I am confused, when they see the Scorpius, they will know we are not a freighter.

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  But commander, we are not dealing with the Borgs, we are dealing with Kazon.  They do not have that personal shielding.

XO_Jude says:
CO/CSO:  If we successfully present ourselves as a defenseless freighter,  and surrendered ..... but not really surrendered

Jezabell says:
@::gets up and goes near her favorite wall and begins to kick it::

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, we do not know for sure they are Kazon, they could be just pirates.

Jezabell says:
@Self: ::screams::damn Borg making their stuff so hard to understand!

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::thinks about all that is being said::

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  Then not as us, but as the illusion of a freighter.  Perhaps that holo program we have been working on?

CTO_Selan says:
CSO: Ma'am, the Kazon had their own form of shielding the last time we encountered them. Which is why they were able to massacre most of our crew, and as well why our security force could not defeat them.

CNS_Ethen says:
::looks at Time indicator on Padd::

Jezabell says:
@::paces up and down to get a little less agitated::

XO_Jude says:
We have the holoemitters, and I suspect that they are hoping for a freighter.... they will be easy to mislead, because of their expectations,  also,  these Kazon may not fully understand the Borg technology the possess.

CO_Miller says:
FCO:  I agree with you there Troi.  But they still have Borg technology in their hands.

FCO-Starr says:
::remembers reading the massacre report::

Kardo says:
#COM: Bajor: Confirmation received...ETA 1 hour. Karzo out.

Jezabell says:
@::swears a lot and screams::

CNS_Ethen says:
XO: sir.. isn't that a calculated risk?

CTO_Selan says:
CO/CSO/XO: Have we established that they are Kazon? ::Wondering::

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  We would not need the ship.. the Scorpius could hide elsewhere.  We could set up a shuttle disguised.

XO_Jude says:
CNS:  When you're out-gunned, every hope is a calculated risk,  but I take your point

Jezabell says:
@Imo: How longer will this need!

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  That is a very feasible idea.

XO_Jude says:
CSO:  That's even better

Jezabell says:
@<Imo>: Can't say Jez, sorry!

EO_AQilla says:
::continues repairs::

FCO-Starr says:
CSO: That is a good suggestion.  I could fly one of the runabouts out with the new transponder signals.

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  No Selan, nothing has been determined as to who these so-called pirates are.

CTO_Selan says:
CO, XO, CSO: Do we have a shuttle that is large enough to accomplish the task, or are we using holo-emitters on it?

XO_Jude says:
CSO/all:  I believe we have a shuttle with holoprojectors already set up

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Understood, sir.

CSOTsalea says:
CTO:  Holoemitters upon it.

Jezabell says:
@::paces up and down really fast and continues to mumble strange words::

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at Jude::  XO:  It is set up and refined from our pervious efforts.

XO_Jude says:
CSO/all:   I think one of our runabouts is also so equip

CTO_Selan says:
ALL: There is still the problem of the Borg technology though, the Borg have been able to beam with their shields up before, if this Scout Ship has that capability...

Kardo says:
#::picking up activity on long range scanners::

Imogene says:
@Jez: There...::points:: .ready??

CNS_Ethen says:
ALL: The CTO has a point..

Jezabell says:
@Imo: progress on that scanning?

FCO-Starr says:
CTO: Good point, let's assume it does and pray it doesn't.

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods::

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Any ideas then?

CNS_Ethen says:
::doesn't like the way this turned::

Jezabell says:
@::calms down a bit and sits down in her chair::

Imogene says:
@Jez: another ship...boy...they are stupid..coming out of the badlands...scanning......

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Sir, we need a live pilot, remote just won't work.

Kardo says:
#::getting a little worried with the sensor report::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Well, as I recall, a type of ionic pulse fired from our deflector dish at the Scout Ship, should cause them to have to re-modulate their shields, which will give us a minute or so to beam in.

Jezabell says:
@Imo: Ready since .... anyway as soon as you can fire, FIRE!

CO_Miller says:
FCO:  I agree Troi.  We must make this as realistic as possible.

Imogene says:
@Jez: Latinum !!! I’m picking up latinum !!!.....coming in range

Jezabell says:
@Imo: No , before firing, open a comm channel so I let them know myself they'll die!

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  So what we can do is try the shuttlecraft first, and if that doesn't work, we can put your suggestion into motion.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: Plus we can carry many security personnel on a runabout.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Aye, sir.

Imogene says:
@Jez: well, I’m ready...go right ahead <BEG>.....

CMOStarr says:
CO:  Sir I'll volunteer to fly the runabout.

Jezabell says:
@Self: Latinum! I'll...We'll be rich!

CO_Miller says:
All:  The toughest part is locating that ship or at least having them locate us.

Jezabell says:
@COM: Freighter: This is your worst nightmare coming to kill you ::really evil laugh::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Perhaps I should have Mr. Daniels scan for the nearest freighter, since the Scout Ship may have already tried looking for one?

CO_Miller says:
CMO:  Thank you Dr., but that will not be necessary.

FCO-Starr says:
CO: I think that will be the easiest part, they are already looking for us or a freighter to hijack.

Kardo says:
#COM: ANYSHIPS: Mayday...help!...This is Major Kardo...I'm under attack by...

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Get on it Selan.

CTO_Selan says:
<Daniels> ::Still scanning for vessels, picks up the distorted transmission, looks up in surprise::

Jezabell says:
@ Imo: Man, I love this life!

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Aye, sir.

Jezabell says:
@Imo: FIRE!

CTO_Selan says:
*Daniels* Mr. Daniels, please scan for any freighters in the area.

CO_Miller says:
XO:  Jude, pick the team that you want on the runabout.

Imogene says:
@::sets disrupters::  FIRES !!!!

CTO_Selan says:
<Daniels> *CTO* Sir, we're picking up a distress call!!!

CTO_Selan says:
::Looks in surprise::

XO_Jude says:

CO_Miller says:
FCO:  Yes Troi, let's go get them.

CSOTsalea says:
XO:  Commander, I will go.

CTO_Selan says:

::Picks up scans:: CO: Sir, through the distortion, I think I'm picking up weapons fire.. but I'm not sure.

CEO_T`Paula says:
::leaves bridge for ME::

XO_Jude says:
::Heads to shuttle bay,  lugging a load of Uzi’s, as well as phaser rifles with modulating frequencies::

CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Excellent, send it as soon as possible.

FCO-Starr says:
*XO*: Sir, what is your location?

Imogene says:
@::she was always a bit..... well....hehehe.......onward...::

OPS-T`Kerl says:
CO: Aye sir.

CSOTsalea says:
::watches the sensors, waiting for them to clear the badlands::

XO_Jude says:
::In SB::  All:  ready to go?

CTO_Selan says:
CSO: Ma'am, are you picking anything up?

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Can you cut through any of the distortion?

Imogene says:
@::sets course back into the Badlands::

CNS_Ethen says:
FCO: I see him.. he just came in the bay..::stand and goes to door::

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::waiting to clear the badlands to transmit message::

CSOTsalea says:
CTO:  Working on it.

CO_Miller says:
All:  We're almost clear.

CEO_T`Paula says:
::arrives in Engineering, looks around for the EO::

FCO-Starr says:
CNS: Thank you.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: I'm trying sir, perhaps if T'salea modulated the deflector dish and sensor palates as to the frequency of the plasma energy in the Badlands...

FCO-Starr says:
::continues her check and see all is ready::

CNS_Ethen says:
:helps the XO with his load:: XO: nice idea Sir..

FCO-Starr says:
*CO*: Sir, the runabout is ready as soon as the XO boards.

EO_AQilla says:
::sees CEO and goes over::

Imogene says:
@ oh..no!!   ::sees Scorpius coming out of badlands...where she is entering !!::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: It's beginning to clear a little bit... ::Attempts to scan for the vessel::

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  She might not have to, we're almost out of the badlands.

CMOStarr says:
::gets up and helps the CNS and XO::

CSOTsalea says:
CTO:  modulations completed.. however...  CO:  I am reading the remains of a ship.

CO_Miller says:
*FCO*:  Acknowledge.

FCO-Starr says:
::reaches down to check her knife in her boot::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Sir, I have the Scout Ship on sensors!!!

CTO_Selan says:
::Locks weapons::

Imogene says:
@::sharp to starboard::

CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Once they are ready, clear them for departure.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
CO: Aye sir

Imogene says:
@::engages tracking and set up weapons::

CNS_Ethen says:
::smiles at the FCO::

XO_Jude says:
All:   I want to be able to mask our life signs somehow, so that sensors will read us as valuable cargo

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Coordinates?

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Sir, they nearly rammed us, they've come about, and are locking weapons.

XO_Jude says:
CMO:  Any way we can do that?

CNS_Ethen says:
XO: do they work?

Imogene says:
@::FIRES WEAPONS::

CTO_Selan says:
::Grabs onto console as they open fire::

CO_Miller says:
::inputs evasive maneuvers::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Return fire, sir?

CMOStarr says:
XO:  I had the telepathic dampening device installed on the runabouts.. We can activate that to hide our signs

<<<<<Scorpius is rocked with weapons fire>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Selan says:
::Locks volley of Quantum’s::

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Lock on and fire!

CNS_Ethen says:
::feels the bay shake::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  We are unprepared for a Borg ship at this time.  Suggest returning to the badlands.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::holds onto OPS station as we are rocked::

FCO-Starr says:
::shakes as the fire hits the Scorpius::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Aye, sir! ::Fires volley of Quantum Torp.'s::

CNS_Ethen says:
ALL: I think we should be going

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Is the damage to the nacelles under control?

FCO-Starr says:
XO: I think we better get out of here, if we want our plan to work.

CTO_Selan says:
::Locks on with phasers and performs strafing fire::

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  Yes sir.  I have repair teams on it

Imogene says:
@::entering Badlands::

FCO-Starr says:
::puts her hands between her ribs and the console::

<<<<<<Borg ship is hit...>>>>>

XO_Jude says:
FCO:   But we'll have to drop shields in order to get out of the shuttle bay!

FCO-Starr says:
::winches in pain::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: They're entering the Badlands sir, I suggest we follow... but I can't fire for long.

CNS_Ethen says:
CMO: the FCO is in pain..

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  We could lead the Borg ship in allowing the shuttle to escape and implement plans

XO_Jude says:
*CO*  Can we re-enter the Badlands for a bit?

FCO-Starr says:
XO: I know sir, not a happy idea.

CTO_Selan says:
::Fires another volley of photon torp's and holds fire for a moment::

Imogene says:
@::turns and fires in last coordinates of Scorpius::

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Good.  Do you think it would help if we recalibrated the plasma manifolds?

CTO_Selan says:
::Grabs onto console as they return fire, and fires again::

CMOStarr says:
CNS:  I know.  She is still sore from the broken ribs..  ::reaches into her medkit, pulls out a mild pain killer and injects the FCO::

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  Yes sir it might.  I'll get on it

FCO-Starr says:
*CO*: Sir, we need to enter the Badlands again, so we can leave the ship.

CO_Miller says:
::turns the ship and takes her back into the badlands::

CTO_Selan says:
::Fires another volley of photon's::

<<<<<<both ships fire misses, but both ships feel effects>>>>>>>>>>

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Sir, they're coming at us again!!!

CNS_Ethen says:
::feel s the bay shake again, hears metal bending::

Imogene says:
@::keeps heading further into the badlands::

EO_AQilla says:
::begins recalibrations::

FCO-Starr says:
::feels the hypospray at her neck::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Sir, I can't fire for much longer, or we'll be hit by a plasma tendril.

FCO-Starr says:
*CO*: Sir, can we exit the ship yet?

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  We're almost back into the badlands.

FCO-Starr says:
CMO: Thanks Sis.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Understood, sir. I have them on weapons lock, for later, sir.

CMOStarr says:
FCO: your Welcome.

CO_Miller says:
*FCO*:  Hold on Troi, just two more minutes.

CNS_Ethen says:
XO: sir.. are these weapons functional?

Imogene says:
@Louis: You still in engineering ???

CO_Miller says:
::enters the badlands::

CSOTsalea says:
CO: Captain, they are heading deeper into the bad lands... shall we let the runabout exit?

FCO-Starr says:
*CO*: Acknowledge Captain.

XO_Jude says:
CNS:  Fully!

CNS_Ethen says:
::smiles:; XO: excellent

CEO_T`Paula says:
::walks over to main status display and reroutes some of the power flow to avoid unnecessary explosions in more vulnerable areas::

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Just one more minute and they can depart.

CTO_Selan says:
::Keeps weapons lock::

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  recalibration complete.  has that helped any?

CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Give them permission on my word.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
CO: Aye sir

CNS_Ethen says:
::can feel the crews tension and distress::

CO_Miller says:
OPS:  Now.

Louis1 says:
@*Imo*: Yes Sir.

CSOTsalea says:
*XO*:  Commander prepare to exit the ship via the shuttle.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
*FCO*: Shuttle clear for departure.

CTO_Selan says:
<Echo Squad> ::In the back of the Runabout, holding position::

Imogene says:
@Louis: Louis !! I need more power!!! Where are you???

XO_Jude says:
*CSO*  Aye

FCO-Starr says:
*OPS*: Aye, lower the shield.

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Keep them on sensors as best as you can.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::lowers shields::

XO_Jude says:
CMO:  Is there anyway to mask our life signs,  make us read on sensors as dilithium or latinum?

CNS_Ethen says:
FCO: lets go.. before the bay collapses on our heads..

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  once we are deep into the badlands.....

FCO-Starr says:
::lifts the runabout and exits as the shield is lower::

Imogene says:
@Louis: It's just you and me now.....Find the power and lets get out of here. Did you figure out that transwarp engine yet??

CEO_T`Paula says:
::checks::  EO: It seems to have had some effect.  See if you can coax the reactor up to its usual levels.

Louis1 says:
@*Imo*: Down in the so called engine room..it's a real maze...got it here it comes!!

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  Aye sir

CTO_Selan says:
CO: T'salea's right, sir. Once we get deeper into the Badlands, it will be quite hard to monitor anything.

CSOTsalea says:
*XO*:  Commander, I am setting up a special signal with your shuttle.  It is to be hoped that we can keep better track of you.

FCO-Starr says:
@*CO*: Exiting the ship and will keep communication silence from this point on.

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  How's that?

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  I understand, that is why I said as best as possible.

XO_Jude says:
CMO/All:  I'm hoping that the Kazon, or who ever they are will beam us directly  into their cargo bays,  that should make our surprise attack easier

CNS_Ethen says:
@ALL: our comm badges perhaps? a negative feed back?

CTO_Selan says:
::Nods:: CO: Sorry, sir. I missed that...

CO_Miller says:
*FCO*:  Acknowledged.

FCO-Starr says:
@XO: Sir, we no longer have contact with the ship.  If we communicate with them our signal can be detected.

CNS_Ethen says:
XO: sir? surprise attack?

Imogene says:
@Louis: ok...got it...going cloaked...when you get the transwarp ready let me know. We can't engage in the badlands...there are no co ordinates to lock onto.

CMOStarr says:
CNS:  All the senior officers on board the Scorpius has transponders located under the skin of their left upper arm.  The transponder is used to locate you in an emergency.  If you will hold still for a moment I'll inject you with yours.  ::smiles::

XO_Jude says:
*CSO*  Thanks,  keep an eye on us

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Quite all right Selan.

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Looks good.  What percentage are our shields at?

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  65% sir

CNS_Ethen says:
::doesn't like this idea:: CMO: proceed

CMOStarr says:
@XO:  I hope they do also sir.  ::grins, likes surprising the bad guys::

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Sir, move out of the Badlands now?

CSOTsalea says:
::sets the sensors on passive::

CTO_Selan says:
::Notices power fluctuations on the Borg Ship which are quite familiar:: CO: Sir! I think they're trying to cloak again!!!

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Send some damage control teams to the appropriate emitters.

Louis1 says:
@::mumbles and tries to make sense of the transwarp:: *Imo*: Think I have it but I need more time....!

FCO-Starr says:
#::moving the ship out of the Badlands::

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Can they cloak here in the badlands?

CNS_Ethen says:
#::picks up and Uzi and looks it over::

CMOStarr says:
#::injects the CNS with her transponder::CNS:  see it didn't hurt one bit ::smiling, and run the tricorder over her to ensure the transponder was working::

CTO_Selan says:
CO: I think so, sir. Borg technology is quite "adaptable" to this environment.

Imogene says:
@Louis: time is something we don't have...What we do have is a fortune in latinum and I for one would like to spend it....so...hurry !!

CNS_Ethen says:
#CMO: I am not accustomed to that much of a personal sensor..thank you

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Sir, I am picking up a ship. Looks like the Borg signature.

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  Yes, but perhaps being in here will hinder that technology.

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  Aye Sir *DAMAGE CONTROL* : Damage Control Teams to main emitter arrays

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Hopefully sir. ::Keeps weapons lock::

XO_Jude says:
#CMO:  and can these transponders be rigged to read on sensors like latinum?

CMOStarr says:
#XO:  I can try it sir.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::attempting to keep track of runabout::

CNS_Ethen says:
#::figures out the Uzi and loads it:: SELF: I always want to be made of gold..::snickers::

XO_Jude says:
#FCO:   Now I guess all we gave to do is have them notice us?

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Can we still locate them?

CMOStarr says:
#XO:  I have some extra with me that I can try and convert...

CSOTsalea says:
CTO:  keeping that in mind... what effects them, will effect us.  ::thinks of the Kazon ship::

Louis1 says:
@::mumbles again and thinks of escaping with the loot and leaving this broken thing:: *Imo*: Ok ...it's coming...one more relay..and...

CTO_Selan says:
CSO: Understood, ma'am.

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Yes Sir, should I ensure they "notice us"::chuckles::

CNS_Ethen says:
#::senses evil thoughts form the FCO::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  I still have them sir... but it is not a clear signal.

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Any other vital systems we should be concerned about?

XO_Jude says:
#FCO:  All depends on what you mean by that!

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  Main engines are still a concern, sir

CMOStarr says:
#::Starts to convert the transponder signals to make them look like latinum ::~~~~Sis, This should be interesting.. giggles~~~~

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Well, I could vent a little plasma sir as we exit the Badlands.

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Yes, suggestions?

Louis1 says:
@*Imo*: Ok ...Sir...we got transwarp...minimum use but we need to de-cloak to engage it!

CNS_Ethen says:
#::hears the echoes of telepathy and is shocked::

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Can you tell how close they are to the scout ship?

FCO-Starr says:
#~~~~CMO: Interesting?  How about suicidal?~~~~

XO_Jude says:
#FCO:  You mean make it look like we have engine trouble,  easier prey?

CEO_T`Paula says:
::calls up readouts on engine systems and hopes it's not the plasma injector’s again::

CNS_Ethen says:
#ALL: I take it this is a telepathic ship?

Imogene says:
@Louis: Wha?? they will spot us.....::looks out of the port viewer...::hmmm::

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Aye Sir, we look like we have no defense::grins::

CMOStarr says:
#XO:  I have finished changing the signals::

CTO_Selan says:
::Scans new, but familiar fluctuations:: CO,CSO: They may be trying to go to transwarp a well...

CSOTsalea says:
::looks at her readings as the life forms on the shuttle change to.... latinum?::

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  we could try a recalibration of the matter-antimatter mix

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  No sir, not with the current sensors...

CMOStarr says:
#CNS:  Yes over 80% of the ship is telepathic.  You didn't know?

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Tsalea, you look puzzled.

XO_Jude says:
#CNS:   More of us than you can shake a stick at, but there are certain protocols,  I'll tell you about them later

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Permission to vent Sir?

CNS_Ethen says:
#CMO: I was.. unaccustomed to it.. my apologies..

XO_Jude says:
#FCO:  Make it So,

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Go ahead.

Louis1 says:
@*Imo*: It's that or stay cloak and not go anywhere...You decide!!! ::thinks of jumping ship now::

XO_Jude says:
#CMO:   Great

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  I have fluctuations in front of us.  It could be the Borg.  As for my confusion, I believe our AT is transforming into latinum... sir.

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  Aye, Sir.  ::Begins recalibration::

CNS_Ethen says:
#XO: that would be advisable .. thanks you sir

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Aye Sir,  we are exiting now and venting plasma.

Imogene says:
@Louis: ok....we're leaving.....hold on...

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Latinum?  Interesting.

CEO_T`Paula says:
::notes that we're venting plasma::

XO_Jude says:
#ALL:  Communication silence is important

CMOStarr says:
#CNS:  No apology necessary.  I gather you picked up on my thought to the FCO..    the FCO is my sister ::smiling::

CMOStarr says:
#XO:  Yes sir  ::goes quiet again::

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::looks at CSO thinking Latinum??::

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Yes sir.

CTO_Selan says:
CO, CSO: Perhaps they are working more on their plan to lure the Scout ship?

CNS_Ethen says:
#CMO: I noticed the rise in energy..not your thoughts

Louis1 says:
@::makes his way back to Imo:: Imo: Let's go already!!

Host Jan says:
<<<<<<Borg Ship leaves the badlands>>>>>>>>>>

CSOTsalea says:
::nods at CTO::

CO_Miller says:
All:  There's no Ferengi around are there?  ::grins::

CTO_Selan says:
::Looks at scans:: CO: Sir, they've left!

EO_AQilla says:
::completes recalibration:  CEO:  How's this?

FCO-Starr says:
#::steers the runabout erratically making it appear as disabled::

Imogene says:
@Louis: kicking in transwarp....this better work !!

CO_Miller says:
CTO:  We'll just have to follow them.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: I think they went to transwarp... if so, then...

Louis1 says:
@::crosses fingers::

XO_Jude says:
#Blast:  they are going to transwarp,  can we enter the conduit?

<<<<<<<<Borg Ship engages transwarp........>>>>>>>>

CO_Miller says:
All:  Looks like they didn't take the bait.

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Sir, they have left the area.  Should we follow?

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  Sir.. they are engaging transwarp

CTO_Selan says:
CO: There they go, they're about to jump to transwarp!!!

Imogene says:
@Louis: Nice job !!!!.......::uh oh::

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Aye Sir, engaging now, we should be able to enter their bubble.

CO_Miller says:
CSO:  Can you disrupt it?

CNS_Ethen says:
#CMO: your message got my attention but as to what you said... I have no clue...I make it a point to be observant of those I’m around

XO_Jude says:
#FCO:   Go for it,  see if they'll suck us in along for the ride

CTO_Selan says:
CO: They're outside the Badlands sir, if you can get the Scorpius outside as well, I can open fire.

<<<<<<<<<<3 Light years from badlands....Transwarp.....decays.......Borg ship.....stops dead in space>>>>>>>>>>

CEO_T`Paula says:
EO: Still leaves something to be desired.  Is the dilithium crystal aligned appropriately?

CSOTsalea says:
CO:  perhaps the CTO can..... I will try to send out a signal.. one moment

FCO-Starr says:
#XO: Aye Sir, engaging warp 4.

Imogene says:
@Louis : LOUIS !!!!!!

EO_AQilla says:
CEO:  I'll Check, sir

EO_AQilla says:
::begins checking alignment::

CO_Miller says:
All:  We just cleared the badlands.  Any sign of them?

CSOTsalea says:
::looks at scans::  CO:  I believe... they may have failed.  The ship is currently 3 light years ahead of us.

CTO_Selan says:
CO: Confirmed sir, they've dropped out of transwarp 3 light years away.

OPS-T`Kerl says:
::sends transmission off to SF notifying them of our position::

CO_Miller says:
::sets course and engages::

CTO_Selan says:
::Prepares weapons for upcoming battle::

CMOStarr says:
