CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@::sitting at the tactical console giving the appearance of preparing for the battle::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::on the bridge at a console::

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::on the bridge at OPS::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::on the bridge behind a secondary console with a small grin on his face:: 

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# :: Continues to quietly search the sickbay for any useful supplies or information ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Are we in transporter range?

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@::targets the phaser banks on the least important area on the Tal-War's hull::

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CNS: Yes, we are Commander.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS: Can you get a lock on the CTO and do a quick scan for other members of the AT?

ACTION: The runabouts of T'Ran move into weapons range with their weapons on hot standby, while the first squadron of Kaneda fighters enters the Tal-War's shuttlebay.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks up and checks weapons readings:: *Fighters*: Engage and disable attacking runabouts. and with disable I mean disable.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  They are in weapons range and running hot.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
# ::checks the site of the destroyed commarray again::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: As soon as they fire disable the shields of the runabout with the CTO on it.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::finds some broken off branches and takes a closer look::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@::Waits and watches as the runabouts enter transporter range::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# :: picks up  a hypospray thinking it may be useful as a crude weapon looks to see if there are any better weapons around ::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: As soon as those shields are down beam the CTO and the crew of that runabout aboard. Unarmed please.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  I don't think we should fire the first shot Sir.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Aye Sir

Host T’Ran says:
@CTO: Lock onto their nacelles and wait for my order...

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS:I said as soon as they fire, commander.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@T`Ran: Locking on now.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV: Thanks for the clarification.  ::locks weapons on the lead ship::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@T`Ran: Ready to fire.

Host T`Ran says:
@COM: Runabouts: Lock onto the ships nacelles and fire!

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the viewscreen and then back to his console::

Host T`Ran says:
@::nods at the CTO to fire::

XO_Jameson says:
#::Is still in the brig, wishing she could reach her mind out further than what she's been confined to in order to find out what is going on::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::follows the trail of broken branches::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::pauses::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*TIC*: Be ready to deploy two fighter squads now. As soon as they attack I want our fighters to get those runabouts.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@::Opens fire with a Phaser bank after remodulating the frequency to cause the least damage::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::attention draws back to his console as an alarm sounds::

ACTION: The runabouts open fire on the Tal-War's nacelles...  the ship rocks violently as the upgraded phasers slash into the shields.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# :: having found little more he decides that the hypospray and sedative is his only weapon and heads for the door hoping he'll be able to find his way back to the brig ::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::returns fire on the lead ship::

XO_Jameson says:
#::Sighs with agitation, and sits cross-legged on the floor, trying to force some kind of message past the barrier that was up::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*TIC*: deploy fighters now. I want those runabouts disabled now!

ACTION: As the Tal-War returns fire its phaser hit the lead runabout, rendering its shields to 65%.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Those little ship gave quite a punch. OPS: is the lead vessels shield down!

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Shields down 65% Sir, not enough for a beam out.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Lead ship's shields weakened.  Continue firing?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  We need to protect our rear.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@::Uses the opportunity to drop the shields:: T`Ran: They got weapons back! Shields are down, firing again. ::fires again::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: Yes, please do, commander. ::looks annoyed and waiting for his fighters to respond.::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Reinforce rear shields if you can.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::locks quickly unto signals::

Host T`Ran says:
@::glances at the CTO::  CTO: Continue to fire as we move it...  ::initiates evasive patterns as he closes in::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::targets the lead ship and wishes their regular FCO was at the helm::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
@T`Ran: I suggest we switch target to their weapons array.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: I have a partial lock on the lead runabout Sir, trying a transport now.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::fires phasers::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Remember I want them to be beamed onboard unarmed and the crew of that runabout in the brig. CTO here on the bridge.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::initiates the transport cycle::

Host T`Ran says:
@::reroutes power to the shields and raise them again::  CTO: Keep those shields raised, Mr. MacAllister or we'll be dead quite soon...

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# ::Sticks his head discretely out into the corridor to check for adversaries and tries to listen::

ACTION: As the lead runabout's shields are raised the CTO is beamed out and materialises in the Captain's readyroom onboard the Tal-War. In the meantime the remaining Kaneda Fighter Squadrons exit the Tal-War's shuttlebay and head for their pray... the hostile runabouts.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::hears someone approach and hides behind some bushes::

ACTION: The FCO sees two guards standing by what seems to be an entrance post.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::finds himself in the Captains ready room and makes a run for the door.

XO_Jameson says:
@::Sighs, as her efforts are useless, but continues to try::

ACTION:  The CSO turns around the corner and sees the XO in a holding cell.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::continues firing::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::carefully checks for any other Vulcans nearby::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::runs out of the ready room and heads straight for his console::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
Self: I knew my memory wasn’t bad

Host T`Ran says:
@::grumbles::  COM: Runabouts: Continue fire on their nacelles !

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::nearly knocks the CNS flying as he takes over and targets the lead runabout's shield generators::

XO_Jameson says:
@::Opens her eyes briefly, and sees the CSO::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::steps back and watches::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::doesn't see anyone else in the area::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: report to your post, ensign and disable those runabouts. I'll bark at you later.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: Sir I believe I could jam their communications to add to the confusion.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  I think he's already on that.  ::continues looking over the CTO's shoulder::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CIV: I'm on it commander, we can't let T`Ran get back to the planet!

XO_Jameson says:
@::Smiles with relief at the sight of an unharmed Starfleet uniformed officer::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::takes out her phaser and briefly debates whom to fire at first::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: please do so ensign. 

ACTION: As the Tal-War concentrates fire on the lead runabout... its shields fail and the runabout explodes in a bright flash...

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::works feverishly over her controls to try and implement a comm. jam::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::watches the display::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# :: is happy to see the XO again just hopes  he can get her out the cell ::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CNS: Mikal, if you would, I need you to watch our shields, Reinforce them around the nacelles, that's their main target.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CTO:  What's going on?  ::logs on to a secondary console::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::looks at the sensors:: CTO: Well, he won't be going anywhere for a while.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::decides on the left one, aims and fires::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::fires on the runabouts, targeting shield generators and propulsion systems::

ACTION: As the remaining runabouts continue to fire the Tal-War's rear shields begin to collapse on the continued fire...

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
OPS:  Can you give me more power to reinforce shields?

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: I want those runabouts to be disabled, I would hat to lose more lives.

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CNS: Working on it, restoring shields to 15%

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::switches target to the weapons arrays on the runabouts firing phaser banks and torpedoes.

ACTION: The FCO's phaser hits the Vulcan standing on the left and he falls to the ground... disabled..  the other Vulcan grabs his phaser returns fire on the FCO.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# :: as there seem to be no guards heads up to the holding cell :: XO: Well I hope your glad to see me?

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::fires at the other Vulcan::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::fires again::

XO_Jameson says:
#CSO: Never seen a prettier sight ensign.  Now get me out of here!

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Weapons fire on the surface.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# XO: I never new you cared! Have all the guards left?  :: walks over to the holding fields control unit to deactivate it ::

ACTION: The Tal-War switches to the next runabouts... its hits reduce the runabout shields to 40%.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
:: continues firing on the runabouts weapon arrays::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: What’s the location?

XO_Jameson says:
#CSO: I haven't seen a guard for a while. So i don't know the current situation with MacAllister.  He was playing the Trojan Horse.  We need to get to the Operations Centre and contact the Tal

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  I have some rough coordinates.  OPS:  Can you locate the AT on the surface?

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CTO: ready two security teams to the Transporter room. 

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CNS: I don't have a positive lock on the AT, Sir.

ACTION: The Vulcan ducks and takes position behind a tree.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# ::deactivates the field:: XO: Well no time like the present, bet you've been bored to death on your own in there!

ACTION: As the Kaneda Fighters join in the fight two more runabouts are destroyed... 3 more remain.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
CIV: I'll assemble then myself.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  We'd have to run bio scans to tell if the AT was nearby.  It could take a while.

XO_Jameson says:
#::Gives him a wry look:: CSO: Not bored exactly. Frustrated is more the word. Now, what is the layout like? How many guards did you come across?

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
CNS: We got..:: checks sensors:: three runabouts to go before we beam anybody down yet.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::picks up what looks like a pine cone and throws it to the left, trying to distract the Vulcan::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  I'm sure they can take care of themselves for a while longer.  ::checks rear shield status::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::organizes the security team and heads for the transporter room::

ACTION: The rear shields of the Tal-War collapse and the runabouts phaser blasts slash into the nacelles, rocking the ship once again violently.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::takes the tactical console over from the CTO, targeting one of the remaining runabouts and fires::

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV:  Rear shields are down.  ::grips his console::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# XO: I haven't come across a single guard, the place is pretty deserted, shame really I had this whole plan of sedating them with a hypospray as well

ACTION: As the Vulcan turns to the noise behind him the FCO receives a clear shot at him....

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::does the enterprise shimmy in the TL as it takes him down the decks::

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
::Holds on to his console:: CNS: I hate this part of the job :: fires again::

XO_Jameson says:
#CSO: Do you have anything as weapons? We need to arm ourselves just in case

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
::heads for the armoury to arm the troops::

XO_Jameson says:
#CSO: We also need to find out how many other officers there are being held at this facility. We should be able to find records of this at the operations centre.

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# :: shows her the hypospray :: XO: Just this like I said, oh and a laser scalpel, take your pick!

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: move power to hull. I want this ship to stay together on my first day out with her.

ACTION: The crew of the three remaining runabout realise their chances of success and beam themselves over to the Tal-War...

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
::works on reallocating what power there is left to the SIF::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
# XO: I think I may have passed OPS on the way here, follow me.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::contacts Engineering for a damage report::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
::fires at the Vulcan::

ACTION: The three remaining runabouts are destroyed by the combined Tal-War, Kaneda effort...

XO_Jameson says:
#::Takes the laser scalpel, and follows Wuer, keeping a sharp eye out for any vulcans::

ACTION: The Vulcan guard is hit by the FCO's phaser fire and drops to the floor... disabled as well... the way is clear..

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
OPS: Did we get any beam ins when shield went down?

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
::takes a deep breath::

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::jumps out, runs to and checks if they are really out cold::

OPS_Ens_Santos says:
CIV: I can't be sure yet, Sir, internal sensors lack power at the moment.

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::drags them off into some bushes to hide them::

CSO_Ens_Wuer says:
:: Runs down the corridors with the XO in tow :: XO: Just round the corner I think the operations centre is.

CNS_Cmdr_Luchena says:
CIV: Internal bio scans are working.  There are 18 Vulcans on deck 16, near Engineering.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*CIV*: The team's ready Commander, waiting for your order.

CIV-LtCmdr-Exeter says:
*CTO*: Other orders, ensign, we got hostiles in engineering. Move there now. I'm on my way. CNS: You go t the bridge and lock out any systems to save guard this ship.

XO_Jameson says:
#CSO: Don't be too hasty. Be cautious

FCO_Cmdr_Shania says:
#::approaches the entrance::

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
*CIV*: Acknowledge.

CTO_Ens_MacAllister says:
SEC: Change of plan guys, Main Engineering! MOVE! 

ACTION: As the Vulcans determine what to do on the Tal-War, the CTO and his two teams quickly make their way down to deck 16.. where the action is.
