Summary

Having entered the Briar Patch the Tal-War and her crew prepared for the inevitable in this inhospitable setting.  As expected the region had effects on the ships systems but the CEO kept on top of it.

With the CO and XO otherwise engaged Wuer remained in command until, for as yet un-established reasons, he collapsed and was taken to sickbay with the CMO.  In the heat of all that commotion the CTO picked up two vessels on the scanners.

The viewscreen revealed them as a Klingon Bird of Prey and a Nebula class starship, but there intentions remain unknown as they close in on the Tal-War.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::switches over to manual targeting, seeing as the sensors aren't so reliable; targets the bird of prey::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
XO: Wuer was taken to sickbay....and with you and the Captain otherwise engaged I took the conn

Cmdr_Henderson says:
ACTION: The BoP and Nebula continue to close on the Tal-War

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
CEO: They're gaining!

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Medical Team: Start the Inner Nuncial Series on the Commander, lets find out what's wrong with him ::starts configuring the readouts::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods :: CEO: You did the right thing, Commander. But now let's get to work. OPS: Hail them.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::goes to the engineering panel to attend to the blinky lights ™::

Cmdr_Henderson says:
:: walks over to the XO :: XO: I guess you in command then now. I'm Commander Henderson, I'll offer my services at OPS if you like?

FCO_LtCmdr_Foster says:
::tries to hold the ship in a steady "descent"::

Duty_OPS says:
XO: Hailing Sir.

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods to Henderson :: Cmdr: It would be appreciated.

Cmdr_Henderson says:
:: sits down at the OPS console ::

Duty_OPS says:
::moved before he was sat on::

BoP_Commander says:
COM: Tal-War: Stand down and you won't harmed.....

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::swallows hard, looking at the readouts:: Self: Extremely high neural activity, this not good ::attaches a cortical stimulator to his temple and continues to diagnose::

BoP_Commander says:
COM: Tal-War: Prepare to be boarded

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
XO: Commander, I suggest going to red alert, or at least raising the shields.

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Do it...

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::initiates red alert, keeping the alarm silent and raising the shields::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::reassigns power flow to ensure bolstered power to shields::

ACTION: The COM goes dead

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: BOP: Harmed? Have I missed something? Since when does an ally board a vessel...

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OUTLOUD: Dagva!

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
ALL: Someone want to tell me what the hell is going on here???!!!

Cmdr_Henderson says:
XO: I don't believe these are our allies Commander.  There probably vessels belonging to the syndicate I believe you were investigating

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::taps his combadge:: Security: Prepare for boarding attempt. All teams, arm yourself, phasers set to maximum stun.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::reassigns power to weapons::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::recalibrates the cortical stimulator to regulate Wuer's brain activity::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
Cmdr: Then I guess we are going to have to show them that we don't take kindly to threats.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
CTO: Make sure you send me the locations of the beam ins.  I'll start sealing off sections to keep them contained

ACTION: The two enemy vessel move into attack patterns and open fire on the Tal-War

Xon says:
::Walking quickly and with purpose down the hall towards sickbay.::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Contact the TIC deck officer. I want fighters ready to launch in two minutes.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::sets it up so that his console alerts the CEO whenever there is an unauthorized beam-in::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
XO: Aye sir. ::Taps his combadge once more:: TIC: Deck officer, scramble flight crews. Be prepared to launch in two minutes.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::brings up the display of the CSO's neural activity and makes the doctor 'hmm' sounds::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: jolts slightly as one of the phasers make contact with the Tal's shields ::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Return fire!

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::looks back to the targeting console, and aims at the bird of prey; anticipating the XO's command, Sek opens fire, full phasers::

Xon says:
::Silently slips into sickbay and looks around... He sees the doctor working on Wuer.::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::arms torpedoes::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::works on reassigning power to the shields and rotating the frequencies::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Medical team: I need two ccs of Morphenolog, it should bring the brain activity down slightly

TIC_Officer says:
*CTO*: We have a slight problem, the launch bays have all been locked down using command authorization, Commander Wuers

Xon says:
::Walks up to the biobed and inserts himself between two medical people.::  All:  I know what is wrong with him.... move aside.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Xon: And you are? ::looks at him::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::growls softly:: XO: TIC is a no go, sir. Commander Wuer locked down the launch bays.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
XO: Want me to go down and bypass the codes?

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::fires a full spread of torpedoes, maximum yield, from the aft launchers, again targetting the bird of prey::

ACTION: The BoP moves in for another attack and the Nebula launces multiple Peregrine fighters from its shuttle bay

Xon says:
CMO:  Xon from Trill.... I'm caretaker for the symbionts and Commander Wuer is taking part in a ceremony where he interacts with his previous hosts.  One of the hosts has been separated from him for far too long.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
XO: In fact, a medical authorization would bypass Wuer's

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Xon: I see ::steps back:: By all means, Xon, go ahead

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Xon: I only ask that you inform me what you are doing ::takes out his medical tricorder::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO/CEO: Go! I want those fighters now!

Xon says:
::Pulls out his bag and removes several items.  Placing them onto the bed arranging them.... Ignores the CMO.::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
XO: Ask the CMO to try the bypass while I get down there.  ::runs for the TL::

Xon says:
::Climbing up onto the bed he straddles Wuer so he can be face to face with the man and begins chanting.::

ACTION: 50% of the Tal's weapon's fire is on target

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: lowers voice :: I have a better idea....

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::switches the phasers to manual, aiming for the fighters, leading them slightly as he fires::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::arrives at the TIC level::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::runs down the hall to the fighter bay doors where the pilots are huddled around the door::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::raises an eyebrow, keeping his eye on the readings::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COMP: Computer, override launch door controls, authorization Trelan Five One Zero Theta. Open bay doors.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
Pilots:  Move Aside!

ACTION: The peregrine fighters make a combined bombing run at the Tal, targeting the weopons areas

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
FCO: Evasive maneuvers!

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::slides to a halt next to the door controls and rips a panel off the wall::

Xon says:
::Continues changing oblivious to his surroundings.::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::focuses shield power over the weapons array::

ACTION: The Tal maneuvers, causing some of the fighters to crash, as some explode from weopons fire

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::picks up the Morphenolog hypospray as a precaution::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::keeps firing at the fighters, launching another spread of torpedoes at the bird of prey::

ACTION: At the request of Xon, Rynia Solla is taken into sickbay by security

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: Attack pattern Beta Three!

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::starts to bypass the door lockout controls::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::ignores some of the sparks and makes a few connections::

ACTION: The BoP moves in for another attack taking heavy damage from the fire from the Tal

Xon says:
::Knows the Rynia has entered the room but doesn't look up.  Continues with his chanting concentrating on the host that is in Solaa.::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::bites his tounge to prevent him using his SFI override code::

ACTION: Some of the fighter bays open from the CEO's attempts

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::splits some of the phaser fire from the fighters to the bird of prey, trying to take out its weapons::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::notices the CNS and her escort enter the room::: Solaa: Can you help this man, who names himself Xon?

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::the door to the fighter bay creaks open slightly::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
Pilots: wrench it open

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::growls violently and starts frantically working to lockout tactical systems with his own codes::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::watches the pilots manhandle the door open and rush in to get to their ships::

Solaa says:
::Smiles:: CMO:  I know him but I don't trust him.  ::Does not want to give up this body.::  As a matter of fact, he is dangerous...

ACTION: The BoP deals heavy damage on the Tal War

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::hits his combadge:: Sec: Find Commander Telgar, find out what she's doing.

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: turns as sparks fly from some of the rear stations ::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::watches those ships that can launch do....and helps to move the ships who's outer bay doors are still closed to move them to launch bays that will let them out::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Photon torpedoes, full spread!

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::stumbles as the ship gets hit again and nods to the TIC deck cheif::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::fires another spread of torpedoes, hoping he doesn't lose control of tactical::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::runs out of the bay and heads to engineering::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Solaa: Dangerous? ::looks at the security officers then back at her:: And how dangerous are you that you require an escort? ::glances back at Xon::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
XO: Shields at 50%, Commander.

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*CEO* Trelan to Quchant... we need shields back up. Make that a priority!

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
*XO*: Heading to engineering now. You should have fighters in play now

Xon says:
::Puts on her best smile and walks up to the CMO and runs a finger down his chest.::  CMO:  I have no idea why they consider me a threat.

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods to the CTO to coordinate the attack with the TIC officer ::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::arrives in a chaotic engineering::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*CEO* Understood.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
All: Get those shields up

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
*TIC*: Scramble fighters, take on the peregrines and watch our back.

ACTION: The BoP and Nebula surround the Tal-War with a continuous full spread, while the fighters take on each other

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Solaa: Kindly step away from me, ma'am ::steps backwards:: Until I figure out who is telling the truth and who is not, I would ask that you remain at a safe distance

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
XO: Commander, we need to lock out computer access from everywhere on deck 1 but the bridge.

Solaa says:
::Pouts but inside is panicking...she does not want to give up this body.::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
Lore: Take a team and get down to the main shuttlebay.  Hook in as many shuttles as you can to get us some extra power::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: nods to the CTO ::

Cmdr_Henderson says:
::continues to work at OPS distributing power as needed::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::fires torpedoes from all launchers, targeting the two ships, phasers firing on full::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Xon: Do you require any assistance, Mr Xon?

Lore says:
CEO:  We are running out there Thomas... but I'll get you what you need...I don't want to take too many shuttles off line in case we need them.

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
::watches Solaa curiously::

Xon says:
::Barely gets a nod off to the CMO.::

Solaa says:
::Smiles at Rokar determined.::

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
*Lore*: Take all the two man shuttles

Cmdr_Henderson says:
:: looks around the bridge to see where people and there attention is ::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Solaa: And how do you fit in this puzzle, ma'am?

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::begins looking around the bridge, continuing to fire with everything they've got::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::looks to science, then to OPS::

ACTION: A second BoP appears on screens

Solaa says:
CMO:  I agreed to help my friend Wuer by hosting one of his former hosts.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
XO: Shields at 20%

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
*CEO* Anytime you want to increase that shield output, Tom, I'd appreciate it....

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
*XO*: oh you want that today?

ACTION: The Two BoP and the Nebula continue there barrage

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: can't help but smile slightly ::

CMO_Ens_Rokar says:
Solaa: Then I believe that you should help him more and return to him

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
:: Takes everything but life support, AG and weapons offline and diverts to the shields ::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Are we doing any damage to their weapons systems?

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
*XO*: I'm doing that....now

Solaa says:
::The smile disappears from her face...::  CMO:  I don't think so.

CEO_Cmdr_Quchant says:
::hits the buttons and diverts power::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::focuses his fire on the first bird of prey::

XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: notices some consoles on the bridge go dark ::
