U.S.S. Sharikahr NCC-81204
Stardate 10009.21
“Winter Wonderland” Episode 4

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
RECAP: The Sharikahr is continuing its survey of the Glacial Expanse.  They have just come across an immense ice asteroid field, but the asteroids look more like Gigantic Snowflakes, some over a kilometer in length.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
--------------------- BEGIN MISSION ---------------------

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::Walks into main engineering out of the turbolift, very nervous of his surroundings::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walking towards Main Engineering::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::stroking the material of his glossy, black shoe, as he stares out at the spectacle before him::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Standing on the Bridge, watching the quiet efficiency around him.::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::Seated at CONN, going over sensors::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::every person that looks at him he inadvertently jumps back from, he continues over to the CEO's office to discuss this mornings schedule::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Slowly, and finally, arrives in Main Engineering::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug, report to the bridge please*

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::sitting at SCI I, bringing in data from the latest probe::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* Aye sir on my way

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, our scanners are useless, we're almost blind

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::enters TL from Weapons control::  TL: Bridge

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
:: punches some commands into the master display terminal, very catiously makes his way over to the warp core::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Understood... How far is our range of view now?

Host CO_Fowler says:
*XO*: Commander, to my RR please

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: Sir, if we need to maneuver, it could get tricky.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::gets up:: *CO*: Aye Captain.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
FCO: Hold steady for now.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, not far sir, I'll have to work on an estimate

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Commander, you have the Bridge.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Work on it...

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::Steps onto the lift to the shield control interface starts his work on increasing shield power::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks over to the RR and enters::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: aye sir

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::exits TL into Bridge::  CTO: reporting as ordered

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::nods at the XO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::makes his way into his office, checking his To-Do List::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Looks at the screen:: Self: That's a LOT of ice!

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::sees the CEO walk into engineering and nervously fakes a smile at him;:

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks in:: CO: Captain?

Host CO_Fowler says:
::looks up at the Commander:: XO: Sit please.  I want your feelings on this. ::Indicates the expanse of ice out her view-port::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::glances around at fellow bridge personnel while maintaining full alertness at CONN::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks through his window and smiles weakly at EO::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::walks over to the Tac station::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::looks and sees his friend come off the TL::  TO: Toir, welcome aboard!  I'll give you more details later, but I just wanted to welcome you aboard...I need you in Main Weapons...Deck 2 for now… ::grins once again::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods and takes a seat:: CO: ::clears throat:: I think we are in a very dangerous place now Captain... We may have the advantage, for now, being smaller, but if we get into trouble in here, our options will be limited.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::waves for the CEO to come up to the second level of the warp core::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Starts to pass out work order to people that doesn't have anything special to work on...::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Notices the EO and leaves his office::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::nods his head to the CTO::  CTO: thank you Lt.  I'm glad to be here

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
TO: I need you to help me gauge what effect our weapons will have if we need them

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods in agreement:: XO: I still find myself thinking they way I did on the Pharaoh.  ::Glances around her RR:: This is so different.  ::Leans forward:: XO: I know that we'll be with out help, but so far the safest way to go is in here

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Makes his way to the second floor of Main Engineering::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
CTO: will do I’m on my way down   ::  turns and heads back in to TL::   TL; Deck 2 weapons control

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::leans forward:: CO: Aye Captain... but we need to do so with caution, and with a way out if necessary. It may be necessary to leave an emergency buoy here, at our entrance to the field, and keep updating it as long as we can.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::sees the CEO approach and timidly stands up and hands him the routine work orders for the morning::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::Takes a breath and whispers out loud:: CEO: sir, can I ask you a question?

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: I agree. Have it done.  ::Stands up and straightens her uniform:: XO: Ready to go in?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Yes, but are you handing me my orders?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Let me no when you make it to the Weapons room

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::exits TL into weapons control thinking how he finily got int oTAC::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::stands as well:: CO: Yes Ma'am. After you, of course...

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO:: shakes his head:: No, those are work orders I picked up from stellar cartography this morning...I didn't get any sleep last night

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Let's do it then ::Heads out onto the bridge::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* just got here fixing to start some simulations  in the computer

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I see, thank you

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
ALL: Captain on the bridge..

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::follows:: CTO: Ready a emergency buoy...

Host CO_Fowler says:
All: At ease

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: What I wanted to ask is by any chance did you send me a message per say last night...?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Good, let me know what effect our phasers....belay that, ready an emergency buoy for launch

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Nah, I was up till around 01:00 hours, but then I went to the holodeck and fell asleep

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::works on programming some personal evasive maneuver patterns into the CONN::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::he already knows the answer is no..:: CEO: Oh....::looks down and nervously fidgets with his padd::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* aye sir      ::taps on control panel to load up a emergency buoy::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks down to Nav:: FCO: When we get underway, transmit our course into this.... thing, for as long as we can, back to that buoy. If we get lost, we might be able to find our way back out based on that marker. Understood?

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: Aye, sir!

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Are you okay?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Buoy being prepared now sir

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods to the FCO and CTO::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Buoy ready to launch Captain, we're ready to proceed.

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Good

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: ::shakes his head:: No...I just got a really disturbing message and....

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::tries to see anything with sensors::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::inputs data to fire on bridge command::   *CTO* ready for the launch on your command from bridge

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Ready for launch sir, on your command

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I see......

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::hears a alert from the bridge increasing the impulse speed::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I had a nightmare last night

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks at the Captain for confirmation to launch::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Stand by Lt..

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Notice impulse engines are being fired up::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Moves over to her chair and opens ship-wide comm:: All: Attention all hands. We are about to enter the ice expanse.  Sensors may or may not work, so be ready.  

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Take us to yellow alert

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
:: looks at the CEO:: CEO: really me too....but the strangest thing is I can't remember a thing about it...

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Moves to stand near the CO::CO: SB is standing by ma'am.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::standing by waiting for the order::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::listens to the CO and nods to her::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::prepares himself for high edge piloting::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks back over to his chair and sits next to the Captain::

Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Ahead 1/4 impulse.  Once inside you may need to slow down.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I remember it quiet clearly, I'll be downstairs if you need me... maybe we can talk later

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::hears the yellow alert siren and follows the CEO down to the master display console, increases power to shields::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Launch the buoy now...

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::takes in a deep breath::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: I understand Yellow alert sir

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Launching buoy

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO* : launch buoy now!

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::proceeds to ease the ship to 1/4 impulse::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::tries to concentrate on his duties now::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Hears yellow alert, runs over to shield generators::

TO_LTJG_Naug firing buoy (Torpedo.wav)

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks back over at the Captain, and then looks up at Ikari:: CSO: Are you currently in control of the vanguard probe?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Would you like to watch the impulse?

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Sits in her chair watching her crew work well together and can't help but feel proud of her crew and ship::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: just in case your wondering, shields are already at maximum sir...aye I'll watch the impulse regulators

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr glides slowly between two huge ice formations and into the Ice Field, sensors are immediately cut by 75% and proximity sensors and visual sensors are at maximum.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Checks shield status and makes sure everything is running right::  CEO: How do the shields look to you sir?

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* buoy is away

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: It's always good to double check... and in case we need to change polarity ::smiles weakly::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
:: monitors the flow regulators::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Captain, I may need to take her a little faster if necessary to avoid one of these Flakes... do I have your permission to do so?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO* Aye.  Return to those simulations for now...model them after this field

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head::  XO: I lost it some time ago

Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Yes. Do it

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Aye, Captain.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* yes sir right on it

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sighs:: CSO: Thank you Commander... carry on...

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Looks from Ike to Jyg'Lo

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks over at the Captain:: CO: Why do the words "Come into my parlor..." spring to mind?

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::with intense concentration, works the CONN like a seasoned professional::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::Starts inputting data from the sensors into computer and starts a simulation on the effects of phaser fire on the flakes::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
*CO*: sir, just to let you know me and the chief are working on the sensors...we should have them back up to 80% soon..

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: My thoughts exactly ::Gives her Cmdr a small grin::

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Notes the XO's comment with some humor::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Raises an eyebrow at EO:: EO: 80% would be extremely overrated......

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*CEO*: Shields are running normally do you concur sir?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::glances at the Counselor and lifts his eyebrow marginally in a Vulcan salute, then turns to the CONN:: FCO: How are our course transmissions tot he buoy holding up?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A Fast moving Flake begins heading towards the Sharikahr

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: ::smiles a bit well I had to tell her some good estimate rule number one of being an engineer::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CTO*: They sure are, but if we hit one of those big things, it won't do any good!

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
ALL: Flake moving our way

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
XO: Keeping up with them sir.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
(smiles::)

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Thank you Mr. Naug

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::quickly adjusts speed to avoid Flake::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
self: doesn’t look good  ::runs it again to double check::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: I know that, but 80%? ::laughs::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::keeping a close eye on the proximity sensors, Ike looks over to the FCO::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Flake moves through the area the Sharikahr just vacated and smashes into a larger flake shattering into a billion pieces.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::taps his chair arm, silently calculating vectors and speeds in his mind from his fighter pilot days::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: Maybe we can try stealing some power from the auxiliary systems...

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::keeps on the speed to avoid the shards::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Let's pull some from holodecks and replicators...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, I've just lost contact with our buoy

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Whispers almost to herself, forgetting the good hearing her Cmdr. has:: Self: So beautiful and ...so deadly at the same time

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::looks back:: CTO: Is it intermittent, or permanent?

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: ::nods:: well I'll sure tell you...that last night wasn’t the best I had in a while

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Permanent sir, nothing left

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* from what i get on the simulations i ran all the phasers will do is melt a small section nothing else

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::sighs:: CTO: Understood...

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::finishes reroutes on the power flows:: CEO: That should do it...what do you read the sensors at?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Me neither..... ::Runs a diagnostic on the warp core since it isn't really being used..::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, also, on all Tac simulations, the best we could do is melt a small section of one of those "flakes"

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::starts to impatiently tap his foot rapidly, not having many sensors to read::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
:: uses every available maneuver thruster to avoid Flakes::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Overhearing the CTO:: XO: Well, that lasted a long time.  At least it'll be there if and when help arrives

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Well, I read...... ::taps display:: 8%

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Moves to the rear of the bridge out of the way, noting the low stress levels on the bridge with satisfaction::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: As the Sharikahr flies past a large flake they are faced with a larger section of fast moving flakes, moving every which way at high speeds.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye... or it will serve as our memorial...

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: 8%....::shocked::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
FCO: If you want to tie into my targeting sensors that may give you a little more reaction time

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::struggles to use every maneuver he knows to steer the ship::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: well maybe this would work better if we knew what was neutralizing the sensors so much

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::quickly looks up at the viewscreen::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Gives Jyg' a slight glare:: XO: No talking like that

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Captain, this is getting exceptionally impossible.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO: Our sensors are being overloaded..

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: As we get into thicker particles, try using the tractor beams to deflect some of these pieces to ease up on Ensign's Masterson's considerable skills..

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye Captain...

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CTO: Thank you sir, but I'm afraid they're not much help..

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* how about using a high intensity tractor followed by a torpedo to move one if need be

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Actually, I think the ice are just too thick for the sensors to handle, no?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
FCO: All right Ensign...let me know if I can be of assistance

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles with a brilliant idea::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Captain, mind if we use our ship's biggest resource?

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: ::smiles:: Yeah, of course

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: Anyone looking intently at the viewscreen will suddenly see Iccizfron's ship move across the smooth surface of a Flake, but as the image hits a joint in the flake and moves in a different direction its realized its a reflection.

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: And that would be.....?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*:: That's an idea Lt....let's hope it doesn’t come to that

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::watches the ship pass:: CO: One moment Ma'am...

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::turns to the CTO:: See that?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: How did he get so close to us?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
ALL: Iccizfron's ship...CSO: Aye sir

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Sir, it must be a reflection...he can't have just done that

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Looks at the screen::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We can't afford to stay blind like this....

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Should I attempt to follow, Captain?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO: Only thing I can figure...

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Let's try and contact him.  The Comm works yet, doesn't it

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: Iccizfron's ship is suddenly gone.. no more reflection can be seen.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::keeping the staff on there feet running checks and making sure everything is ready for anything::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Hopefully...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
OPS: Can you open channel and try hailing anything in the area.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
:: forgets what he is doing and goes over to look at the warp core::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug, any other ideas would be greatly appreciated...don't hesitate, and if I don't respond at first… then tell me again!

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: Suddenly a second ship reflected on another surface is seen, its similar to the one encountered back at the rogue planetoid.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks over to environmental to make sure the ship's temperature is stable.....::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<OPS_Fillin> ::starts to open a channel then stops as he sees the new reflection::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* yes sir  just what are we trying to do

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
ALL: We have company....another ship like the one at the planetoid

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Excellent

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: There! That looks like the ship we just left back at the planetoid

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye, recommend Red Alert Ma'am.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
:: looks back at the CEO for just a second, trying not to indulge in making sure he didn't lie about sending that message::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Do it

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::but he thinks again...why would he...::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CTO: Red Alert.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
*Ship-wide*: All hands to emergency stations.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Inertial Dampeners are pushed to the max and everyone can feel a precise course correction made by Helm.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Raises shields and brings all weapons to full:: XO: Aye sir Red Alert

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Stares at the other ship:: XO: Something isn't right.  It looks smaller

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
ALL: Sorry for that, folks

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: The Alien ship disappears from any surface..

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::Runs back over to the master display console as the red alert is sounded:: CEO: wonder what’s going on...

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Self: What the?:: CO/XO: It's gone

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: It is... Someone's playing cat and mouse in here, and we don't know the rules.

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::grasps the arm on his chair and grunts a little from the FCOs last maneuver::

Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: As long as we're here to feel it Mr. Masterson

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Staggers, and holds onto a rail for support::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Stay at Red Alert ma'am?

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::hears the red alert::   All:  all staff battle stations   MOVE  MOVE

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Looks at the CTO and XO:: XO/CTO Back to yellow alert

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Prepare torpedo tubes for loading

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: I've not crashed yet... well, except for that one Peregrine.. and the shuttle on Titan....

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Checks master display::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*Damage Crew*: Damage Crew, go on standby

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am, Yellow Alert....*TO* Stand down from Red, go to Yellow Alert

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
:nods to the CTO to stand down::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Leans closer to the XO:: XO: This reminds me of what used to be called a 'fun house' one filled with mirrors

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* already done sir waiting for the command

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::nods back to the XO::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Stay ready for now

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::nods:: CO: I think we should use our extra eyes now.

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::makes some quick adjustments to the responsiveness of the helm control::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CEO*: The Inertial dampeners seem to be giving a bit.  See what you can do.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::brings weapons back down for ready status::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CSO*: We'll see what we can do down here

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*CEO*: Thank you commander

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO: If we keep this up, we're gonna get nailed by the real thing thinking it's a reflection.  There has to be a way to give us more lead time

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: If you are thinking about doing what I think you are.  Do it

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CSO*: Though I can't promise anything.....

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
ALL: keep those tubes ready   :: makes a minor adjustment to loading tube::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::smiles:: CO: Thank you ma'am.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: All of a sudden, the Sharikahr enters an area of particularly reflective flakes and is suddenly bombarded with images of Iccizfron's ship, and the Alien vessel.  It looks like the Alien Ship is firing on Iccizfron, who is trying to maneuver.

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Orders, Captain?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::Self: Whoa what the heck?:: CO: Ma'am?

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Can you get a fix on them?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: I'll try ma'am

Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: All stop

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: I can't get it established ma'am...

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::shakes his head at the CO::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looking for places to pull power from to enforce IDF Grid::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::brings ship to all stop:: CO:, Aye, Captain!

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::gets up:: CSO: Can you come with me please Commander Ikari

Host CO_Fowler says:
CSO: Ike, what sensors are left?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr narrowly misses a fast moving flake as it rotates.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Mr. Rachmaninoff, can you please help me looking for power to reinforce the IDF?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO/XO: Maybe our friend was in the same wrong place as we were...

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Captain, may I suggest we keep moving.. I can better keep us in one piece that way....

Host CO_Fowler says:
FCO: Keep us away from the flakes,  but try to keep us where we can see them ::Indicates the screen and the other ships::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
CO: Proximity and miscellaneous others with limited capacity.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: sorry sir...:;steals power from fusion reactors 1-3:: how about now

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: The Battle is odd however.  The Alien vessel keeps firing, but it doesn't seem like any of the shots are hitting Iccizfron.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Nods:: CSO: Go with Mr. Ahkileez

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Activate your security teams for possible damage control Lt.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: You're awesome.... ::smiles::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
CO: Aye, Captain

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* aye sir

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: they sure weren't that bad a shot when they attacked us!

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Stares at the dazzling image on the screen::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::stands up:: CO: Yes ma'am

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks back to the TL:: CTO: Activate all of our external visual sensors and route the data to Astrometrics.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I agree Mr. Knight

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: So why aren't they hitting Iccizfron?

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*security teams* All teams report and standby for damage control

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
XO: Aye sir...activating all external sensors and sending data to Astrometrics:: CO: I wish I knew ma'am

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::Smiles back and comes to the decision that the CEO couldn’t have sent that message::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::steps into the TL and waits on Ike::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::cocks his eyebrow:: XO: Astrometrics?  We're going to need some fast fingers, aren't we...

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
ALL: Are they perhaps confused by the reflections as well?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Unless Izzy has more effective and powerful shields

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CEO* my security teams are on standby for damage control when you need them

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: Suddenly a shot hits Iccizfron's ship, it changes course quickly and evades the next one.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
FCO: That would seem like a good bet

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Somehow, I don't think so

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: We don't need them. Get on the horn, have your best spatial mechanics Vulcans in Astrometrics as soon as possible.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*TO*: I've already sent out the damage control crew on standby..... thanks for confirming

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am ::shaking his head::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: There! He got hit, but it doesn't seem to have fazed him much

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
TL: Astrometrics

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::stands nervously and fidgets:: CEO: I'm going to check the internal dampeners

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Actually.....

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: I see ma'am...could he be using the flakes as extra shielding or something?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Can you please take over Engineering for a bit, I'll be in my office

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
*SCILab1*: Ensigns Torok and Valar, you're need in Astrometrics, on the double

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: That's a possibility.  Or he has better shielding than we do.  Or the fire power is affected like sensors.  Dampened somehow

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Walks over to his office::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: ::unsure why he just told him that:: Ummm...sure...

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the lift as it stops and leads Ikari down the hall to Astrometrics::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: A Flake nearby suddenly explodes for some unknown reason.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: Iccizfron's ship disappears from surfaces, and its just the alien ship, which has stopped firing.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye Ma'am....but they were able to bracket us as it was...and those disruptors of theirs.....CO: Ma'am...explosion nearby

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::thinking how this staff needs some drilling to quicken there pace::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
::reacts quickly and avoids shards::

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::checks the internal dampeners anyway::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: I see it

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks into Astrometrics::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Lt. Stand ready, things are happening quickly up here...

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Where did Iccizfron go?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Sharikahr suddenly pulls to Port to avoid the shards.

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Reading on routine reports from the crew::

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Grabs the armrest of her chair::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* ready for the word sir

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: ma'am I honestly don't know

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Holds onto the rail a little tighter::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ASTROMETRICS VIEW: Walking into the large Astrometrics Bay, Ahkileez is surrounded by a near 360 degree visual display of the area surrounding the Sharikahr.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::Ross feels the shake to the port::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::grabs the edge of his console and shifts his feet to steady himself::

FCO_Ens_Masterson says:
ALL: Everyone sit tight!  I'm trying to keep us in one piece!

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::looks around:: XO: So far so good.

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::grabs the wall feeling the ship bank::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: I don't know how Iccizfron disappeared unless he cloaked?

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Thinks to self:: Self: Just once a nice easy boring mission, is that too much to ask?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Yes, so far. Get that console linked into the navigation computer so Mr. Masterson can get this data quickly.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Another possibility.  Too many unknowns here

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am, what was it you said about Tactical having a nice, quiet mission ::grinning::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: I'm on it, sir.  ::starts tapping buttons::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: Iccizfron's ship is reflected on a multitude of surfaces again, and the alien ship begins firing... off in the distance some flakes can be seen exploding.

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Okay, so I lied. I'll buy you a drink at the Exile Cafe someday ::Grins::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
<EnsTorok&Valar> XO: Reporting as ordered sir.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: I agree ma'am.....He must be close to us....those flakes are exploding as the ship fires....::grins at the CO::

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::notices the Vulcans walk in and quickly explains the job to them telepathically::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Wait a minute...I have an idea.....

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
XO: The link is complete

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Mr. Naug...are you picking up the explosions near us?

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CSO: Then lets leave them to their work. You stay down here and supervise?

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Vulcans look at Ahkileez with a disapproving look at the use of telepathy.

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Looks at the CTO expectantly::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* yes sir I’m tied into the sensors here and reading the same

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: Um...sir could you come here for a second... I think we might have a problem

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Maybe we can track him by the explosions if we see a pattern to their exploding

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
:;shrugs at them and speaks quickly in Vulcan:: T/V: It was the fastest way, logically...

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Coming... ::gets up and walks toward EO::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Use those explosions and predict where the next one will explode if they are using a systematic firing pattern

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Good idea. ::Nods approval::

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::looks a little confused at this interaction::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: The Ship pulls again.. and Proximity Sensors blare as they detect a disruptor blast passing quite close to shields.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: maybe they don't know exactly where he is...just like us.

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: ::motions towards a readout he just took of the internal dampeners:: Look....

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::hears the alarm:: CSO: Handle things here, I'd better get back up to the Bridge.

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am that was a disruptor blast like before

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
::Looks at the panel..::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* good idea   ::starts calculating the pattern from the past explosions tracing it as a line::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Red Alert Ma'am?

CSO_LtCmdr_Ikari says:
::nods to the XO and turns to a console::

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
VIEW: Iccizfron's ship can be seen getting hit twice, showing a large amount of damage

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Red alert

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
:;turns quickly and exits, jogging down the hall to the TL:: TL: Deck 1

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Well... looks like we're going to have to turn something off.....

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Aye ma'am...Red Alert ;; shields and weapons to full settings

CNS_Ltjg_S`Tal says:
::Notes the Damage Iccizfron’s ship is taking::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
*TO*: Stand by Lt.!

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: Looks like we are going to have to let our FCO know that we cant have anymore extensive rolls

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::steps out of the lift just as the lights go red::

Host CO_Fowler says:
OPS: Can you get anything on the Comm?  From either of those ships?

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
*CTO* standing by and uploading to TAC station the data on the trace i got

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
CEO: the port internal damper is overloading...

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: Welcome back.  Is it working?

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
::picks up a Comm signal:: CO: Ma'am, I've got a Comm Signal... but it's intermittent *TO*: Aye....track it for a few minutes and see if we've got something there

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
::walks quickly down to Seat 2.0 [tm] and sits:: CO: We'll know in a second. What's been going on up here?

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
EO: Say what

Host CO_Fowler says:
::Hears the intermittent signal::

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: More of the same. Hear that?  ::nods towards OPS::

TO_LTJG_Naug says:
::tracking the signal::

CEO_LtCmdr_Jax says:
*CO*: Captain, we don't have enough power to our IDF Grid, something have to shut down, otherwise we won't make it

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: Aye Captain.

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
<Iccizfron> COMM Sharikahr: Sharikahr.. I am in need of your assistance, I'm being attacked by a hostile .... ::Comm-disrupted::

Host CO_Fowler says:
CTO: Get a fix on him

EO_LtCmdr_Rachmaninoff says:
::nods at the CEO::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Ma'am

Host CO_Fowler says:
XO: What can we do with out? I want ideas

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
<A-Vulcs> ::tap wildly on the console sending vector and speed data into the Nav computer, updating the CONN with new sensor data::

CTO_Lt_Knight says:
CO: Working on it ma'am

Host Little_Pile_of_Goo says:
ACTION: Proximity sensors go off again and the blast hits a flake behind the Sharikahr, bombarding the aft shields with ice shards.

XO_LtCmdr_Ahkileez says:
CO: We have an obligation to help him Captain...
