Host Gilles says:
USS Tal-War - SD 10408.21

An Ion Storm is detected on Long Range Sensors. Sensors readings have been diminishing gradually. The ion storm has hit USS Sharikahr, USS Ottawa and the USS Tain Inman.
Host Gilles says:
Contact has been lost with these vessels due to ionic interference. Sensor contact as also been lost with the four Nacandarian vessels in orbit of the only planet in the binary system. 

The USS Tal-War, USS Ioquois and USS Coyote have 10 mins before the storm hits them.

Host Gilles says:
<SO_S'cnr> CO: Captain.. we have a huge ion storm entering the system... it just hit the Sharikahr and friends at full force.
CO_Kyrron says:
::swears in Zaldan::
OPS_Brand says:
FCO: Are we in position yet?
TO_Boom says:
::fingers fly over the Tac board as he tries to keep the Nacandarian's ships in his scans, but he's lost them::
TO_Boom says:
CO: Ma'am I've lost sensor contact with the Nacandarian's ::sighs::
OPS_Brand says:
<FCO> OPS: 30 seconds.
CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Good.  Maybe the storm took them out.
TO_Boom says:
CO: That would be way too easy Captain ::grinning::
XO_Jameson says:
::Raises an eyebrow::  CO: Or maybe we should be more defensive
CO_Kyrron says:
*Eng*: Prepare to fire the reverse polaron burst.
XO_Jameson says:
TO: Is there anyway to tell if the ion storm will effect the mines?
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  We have no shields.  We are sitting ducks regardless.
CMO_Uax says:
*CO* I'd like permission to start routine physicals. Course I'll start with the crewmen first and work my way up.
OPS_Brand says:
CO: The other ships report ready to fire.
TO_Boom says:
::checks to see that the tac team is ready to get a move on once they clear the mine field::   XO: Not right now, but I'd say judging what happened to the Sharikahr....::trails off::
CO_Kyrron says:
*CMO*:  Not now Doctor.  Report to the bridge.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Have them go ahead.
CO_Kyrron says:
*Eng*:  Fire!
TO_Boom says:
CO/XO: The assault team's standing by
CMO_Uax says:
*CO* aye ma'am :: puts the PADD down and leaves sickbay in the capable hands of one of the other doctors.
XO_Jameson says:
TO: Is there any way we can  take advantage of that if our initial attempt fails?
OPS_Brand says:
::contacts the other ships and gives the order to fire::
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Are those probes ready to launch?
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: All 3 vessels open fire in the minefield just as the ion storm engulphes the mines.
TO_Boom says:
XO: It might mask our moving through the mines,  if it scrambles their detection capabilities
OPS_Brand says:
CO: Fifteen seconds Captain.
XO_Jameson says:
TO: Anyway we can test the effect of the ion storm when the conditions are applicable?
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Launch when ready.  It will be good test of the mines functioning.
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: Sensor contact with the mines are lost... ion storm will impact in 1 minute.
OPS_Brand says:
CO: Mines ready, Launching now.
OPS_Brand says:
::launches mines::
TO_Boom says:
TO: I'd say the only real way would be to see what happens with the mines...or we can make a dash for it and hope they don’t pick us up
XO_Jameson says:
TO: Put together an idea of how we can create the field around the Tal
CMO_Uax says:
:: arrives at the bridge and reports to the captain :: CO: reporting as ordered.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Shipwide alert on the storm please.
TO_Boom says:
XO: Working on it now Ma'am ::tries to set the shields to emit the same sort of ionic interference as the storm would::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The front of the ion storm will hit the Tal-War in 10 seconds.
OPS_Brand says:
::transfers as much power as he can spare to structural integrity field::
CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Are we getting any readings from our probes?
TO_Boom says:
::increases the shields intensity as much as he can so it takes the brunt of the storm:: CO: I'm not getting anything at all Captain, except a headache
OPS_Brand says:
CO: Recommend we turn our nose into the storm, It'll keep the stress levels down a bit.
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Do it
CMO_Uax says:
:: moves away from the command centre and heads for one of the science consoles :: 
OPS_Brand says:

TO_Boom says:
Self:  I hate this, blind is something I don't want to be right now
OPS_Brand says:
<FCO> ::turns the Tal-War into the approaching Ion storm::
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The Ion storm hits the unshielded hull of the Tal-War knocking everyone off their feet. The Science console explodes killing SO S'cnr in an instant.
CMO_Uax says:

TO_Boom says:
::Grabs his console but it doesn't do any good, he falls but hops right back up::
CMO_Uax says:
:: flips open her tricorder :: scans the SO :: CO: its a futile attempt he was killed instantly.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Perhaps you should stay put for a few minutes.
TO_Boom says:
CO: Captain this is insane but now may be our best time to try and get through that mine field
CO_Kyrron says:
All on bridge:  Anyone injured?
TO_Boom says:
CO: Only my pride Ma'am
XO_Jameson says:
CO: But we need eyes, and I’m fine right now ::stands up fully, and brushes the dust off of her uniform, wincing a little at her bruised shoulder::
CMO_Uax says:
:: looks around :: CO: I don’t think so unless someone got bumped safe for this poor ensign here
CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  The ion storm will disable the mines?
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: After the initial intensity of the storm is felt... backup systems come online. Sensor contact has been lost with the Coyote and Iroquois.
OPS_Brand says:
CO: I'm in one piece Captain.
TO_Boom says:
CO: I just don't know for sure Ma'am...I'm sorry
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Set course for the planet.  OPS:  Try to hail the Coyote and Iroquois.

<FCO> CO: Laying in a course now.
TO_Boom says:
::runs both LRS and SRS as quickly as he can:: CO: Captain, they're back online but I still can't see a thing...that storm really messed them up
OPS_Brand says:
CO: Aye Captain. ::attempts to hail the other ships::
CMO_Uax says:
ALL: Anyone need medical attention?
TO_Boom says:
CO: what if we launch another probe, nothing in it directly at the field...it would tell us whether the mines are working
CO_Kyrron says:
::taps her fingers impatiently on the armrests of the chair::  TO:  Do it.
CMO_Uax says:
TO: any other casualty reports coming in?
TO_Boom says:
CO: Aye Ma'am   ::readies a probe and fires it directly towards where the mines were::
XO_Jameson says:
CO: You still want me to do an eyeball visual?
TO_Boom says:
CMO: None that I've received yet Dr
CMO_Uax says:
TO: Keep me appraised if you do
CO_Kyrron says:
OPS:  Any luck reaching the other ships?
TO_Boom says:
CMO: Of course Dr.
CO_Kyrron says:
XO:  Please.  See if you can see the other ships.
OPS_Brand says:
CO: No reply to comms.
TO_Boom says:
CO: Captain the probe should be reaching the mines in five seconds
XO_Jameson says:
::Nods at the CO, and heads to the Obs Lounge::
CMO_Uax says:

CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  Monitor it.  ::hopes they can keep the signal long enough to find out what's happening::
TO_Boom says:
CO: I'll do my best Captain
XO_Jameson says:
::Heads over to the large window, and looks out, searching desperately::
CO_Kyrron says:

TO_Boom says:
CO: ::Sighing:: I guess it was a useless gesture Captain, I'm still not able to read anything at all, I'm sorry Ma'am
CO_Kyrron says:
FCO:  Prepare a shuttle for launch.
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  Return to the bridge.
TO_Boom says:
Self: What am I missing?  There's a way out of this and it's probably staring me in the face!
CO_Kyrron says:
::stands and approaches the TL::
OPS_Brand says:
<FCO> CO: Aye captain.
TO_Boom says:
CO: Captain do you want the Tac team with you?
TO_Boom says:
CO: Or whoever?
CO_Kyrron says:
TO:  No.  I'm just going to see if we can get through the field.  Monitor me.  ::enters the TL::
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: There is nothing I can see from here except a melee of colours
TO_Boom says:
CO: Aye Ma'am
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  You have the bridge.  Get back to it.
CMO_Uax says:
:: keeps trying to scan for the irquois and coyote for life signs :: 
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: Yes Sir, on my way
CO_Kyrron says:
::emerges on the shuttle bay deck, whatever it may be::
XO_Jameson says:
::Heads back to the bridge::

XO_Jameson says:
::Enters the bridge, and takes the 'Big Chair' tm::
TO_Boom says:
::notices the shuttle warming up and wonders what the CO is planning::
CO_Kyrron says:
*CMO*:  If the shuttle gets through I assume you will be right behind me.  Fill in Jameson, would you?
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: What are your intentions for the rest of the storm?  I assume you are heading for Engineering?
CO_Kyrron says:
::gets in the shuttle and begins power up sequence::  *OPS*:  Clear me for launch.
OPS_Brand says:
::continues trying to hail the other ships::
XO_Jameson says:
::Hears the request for clearance::
XO_Jameson says:
OPS: Belay that order
CO_Kyrron says:
::ignores the XO's comm as she doesn't want to hear the usual stuff::
CMO_Uax says:
*CO* yer right I will.
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: Give me a good reason why you are planning to do this instead of me.  Your place is on the bridge.
CMO_Uax says:
XO: No she's taking a shuttle out.
TO_Boom says:
*CO*: Captain?
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
::enters from turbolift::
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  Because I'm a pilot and your not.  If I get through bring the ship in after me.
OPS_Brand says:
::hits a few controls:: *CO*: You are cleared for launch, Have a nice flight.
XO_Jameson says:
::Rolls her eyes at the CMO::  CMO: As I can tell for the launch clearance request....
XO_Jameson says:

CTO_Ens_fielding says:
CO: My apologies Captain, I've filed a report on my absence in your data file.
CO_Kyrron says:
*OPS*:  See you soon.
CMO_Uax says:
XO: I was told to fill you in.. :: shrugs :: 
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Permission to return to active duties.
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: Then the FCO should be in your place.  But not you.  There is too much risk for a Captain.  I will be writing this up if you ignore me.
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  And if you don't let me launch I'll have you court-martialled.
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
::moves to console::
TO_Boom says:
::Sees the CTO enter the bridge and turns Tac 1 back over to him::
CMO_Uax says:
:: looks to the CTO :: CTO: welcome to the land of the living.
OPS_Brand says:
XO: My apologies Ma'am but I know that once the captain puts her mind to something it's almost impossible to change it.
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
TO: Thank you, looks like you've been having fun..
XO_Jameson says:
CTO: Granted...now get to your station
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
CMO: Hi Doctor
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Sir, status?
CMO_Uax says:
CTO: Oversleep?
TO_Boom says:
CTO: Just another day at the office
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: A small price to pay for saving your arse!
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
CMO: ::whispers:: Correct.
XO_Jameson says:
::Glares at the OPS::
CMO_Uax says:
CTO: I'll send you a wakeup call next duty cycle.
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  How'd you like to be an ensign again?  ::grumbles as she initiates launch by executive override::
TO_Boom says:
::wonders how long it will take the XO to be in the brig if they survive::
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
TO: Fair enough, Tactical, bring me upto speed please, and man tac 2 please...
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: At lease I’ll be an ensign with an alive Captain!
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The shuttle bay doors open on the CO's command.
CO_Kyrron says:
::watches the shuttle bay doors open and sets course for the planet... through the minefield of course::
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
Self: Oh wonderful, override..
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Sir, shall I override?
XO_Jameson says:
*CO*: Damn you Kyrron, you don't want to do this.  It's far too risky, even for you!
OPS_Brand says:
XO: As you can see, I couldn't have stopped her anyway.
TO_Boom says:
CTO: We're still flying blind sensor wise, no way to tell if the mine's are still active or not and the Captain is leaving the ship...that's about it
CO_Kyrron says:
*XO*:  Handle it Jameson.  ::launches::
XO_Jameson says:
::sighs deeply::  CTO: It's too late now,,,,
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The shuttle's sensors detect the first mine at 5 mark 350
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Confirmed, override failed.
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Receiving shuttle sensor readings, routing to science and your console sir.
TO_Boom says:
::enters his id into Tac 2 and brings it online::
CO_Kyrron says:
#::heads right for it::
CMO_Uax says:
:: steps over to science 1 :: XO: I’ve got science..
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Captain is moving towards the first mine
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: The mine does not move from its position.
XO_Jameson says:
FCO: Very tentatively follow the captain, but give her distance to reverse if she needs to get out of an explosive situation
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Mine is static according to shuttle readings
TO_Boom says:
::now that he's got more time he concentrates on trying to get Tac sensors cleaned up and functioning again::
CO_Kyrron says:
#::keeps going::
CMO_Uax says:
XO: I've got the readings here at science.. 
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: What the hell is she doing!? Ramming it?
CMO_Uax says:
CTO: I have no idea. 
OPS_Brand says:
::monitors the situation as closely as he can::
XO_Jameson says:
CTO: I don't have a clue..she wouldn't let me know, and has gone against all my comments.  we are just to follow her
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: I have her course, its set to an M class planet.
CMO_Uax says:
CTO: good. 
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Doesn't that pose a danger to our ship?
CMO_Uax says:
CTO: Keep a close eye on her. 
CO_Kyrron says:

CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: She's firing at a mine.
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
self: Idiot!
Host Gilles says:
ACTION: One mine explodes.
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Mine destroyed
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
XO: Sensor strength is dropping.
XO_Jameson says:
CTO: We need to get through that mine field, and if the Captain won't stop from risking her neck to find a course, then we can't leave the risk she's taking to waste
TO_Boom says:
::grins as he sees the Captain take a direct approach to the problem::
CMO_Uax says:
XO: I'm going to relieve the captain of duty when she gets back for a full workup.
CO_Kyrron says:
#::sets phasers to blast any mines in her way and keeps going::
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
CMO: I still think this is dangerous...
OPS_Brand says:
<FCO> XO: should we follow her?
CO_Kyrron says:
#*XO*:  You reading me?
CMO_Uax says:
CTO: I agree. 
CTO_Ens_fielding says:
