CO_Loran says:
::Sits in his ready room waiting for a response back from Starfleet Command about the Omega sighting::

CTO_Benson says:
::Arrives on the Bridge from the turbolift.  Walks to tactical one and relieves the TO.  Checks the console and signs in with her security code and begins monitoring the Romulan Warbird on the monitor::

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Checks the helm controls making necessary adjustments to keep up with the warbird::

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Leaving her quarters and heading back to the Bridge::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan is still in pursuit of the fleeing warbird.  They are changing course in radical maneuvers.
 
CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CNS: Sensors show that the warbird continues to change course very radically.

CTO_Benson says:
CNS: Suggest moving to red alert, Sir.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CSO: Roger, I have made the necessary adjustment and keep me advised.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Enters the Bridge and relieves duty OPS::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CNS: Yes, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The warbird now straightens out its course and is headed for the Bajoran Wormhole.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CTO: Good idea, take us to red alert.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CNS: Sir, they are headed for the wormhole.

CTO_Benson says:
CNS: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps the console changing the status to red alert::

CNS_McDuggle says:
*CO*: Sir, the warbird is headed for the wormhole.

CO_Loran says:
::Receives a message from Starfleet Command, reads it quickly then stands and walks out of his Ready Room onto the Bridge::

CO_Loran says:
CTO: Distance to the warbird?

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Adjusts the ship’s course to intercept the warbird::

CTO_Benson says:
CO: 100,000 KM, Sir.  They are headed to the Bajoran wormhole.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Confirms heading of the warbird::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir, I have changed course to intercept.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: I want us in firing range of that warbird before it gets close to DS9 and the wormhole.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir, going to warp 8.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Finds channels clear for the moment and redirects her attention to ship's power::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: You will find modifications to the quantum torpedoes in file Omega529.  Make the necessary changes to as many torpedoes as you can.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps the console bringing up the file and begins modifications to the quantum torpedoes::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The warbird suddenly drops out of warp and veers away in a wide arc.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CNS: Well, something has their attention. ::Sees the warbird change direction on the viewscreen::

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: They have dropped out of warp.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Brings ship out of warp and makes adjustment to follow the warbird::  CO: Sir, the warbird has dropped out of warp and I have make necessary adjustments to stay with it.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Modification of 12 quantum torpedoes has been completed.  Continuing with the balance of our inventory of 13.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The warbird now cuts loose on Titan with all of its weapons.  At the same time, an energy buildup within the warbird activates sensor alarms on Titan.

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: I wonder what it was.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Do they have shields?

CNS_McDuggle says:
ALL: Brace for impact!

CTO_Benson says:
::Rocks from the impacts:: CO: The warbird's shields are holding, Sir.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Most of the warbird's weapons miss Titan as they were poorly aimed.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Quantum torpedoes loaded and ready to fire.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Hold those modified torpedoes for after their shields are gone.   Use photon torpedoes.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Reloads the torpedo launchers with photon torpedoes::

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Fire when ready.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Power is redirected to shields and weapons, Sir.  There is a power buildup on the warbird.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Firing, photon torpedoes!  ::Hits the "fire" button::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Where is it coming from?

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Evasive maneuvers.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan's weapons hit their mark, dropping the warbird's shields down to 67%.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, shields on the warbird are down to 67%.  Firing another volley!

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Somewhere inside the ship.  CSO: Can you see anything more specific on your sensors?

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Continue firing until we have their shields down.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir.  ::Starts evasive maneuver Beta 2::

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, the warbird's weapons are set to overload.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
OPS: If you ask me, according to these readings I have, that ship is going to explode.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The warbird explodes.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Inform me the moment the Omega molecule has been destroyed.

CTO_Benson says:
::Hears the Captain say the word "Omega" and wonders what he is talking about::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir, the warbird has just exploded.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Load the modified torpedoes.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Is there any signs of the Omega molecule?

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Taps the console reloading the launchers with the modified torpedoes::  Ready, Sir!

Host Computer says:
CO: Affirmative.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Coordinates?

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
::Realizes what the strange readings were that he couldn’t make out::

Host Computer says:
CO: Inside the Bajoran wormhole.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CNS: ::Whispers:: Omega molecule?

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Are we within transporter range of the wormhole?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The OPS officer gets another vision of the crystal.  This time it comes with a sense of evil.

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: Whispers back::  It’s a long story.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: No, Sir.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Closes her eyes and concentrates on the vision::

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Did we destroy the Omega molecule present inside the Romulan Warbird?

Host Computer says:
CO: Negative.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: How did the molecule leave the Romulan Warbird and enter the wormhole?

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Set course for the wormhole.

CTO_Benson says:
::Completes the modifications to the remaining 13 quantum torpedoes and awaits the order to fire::

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Sir, I think we have a problem. ::Slowly opens her eyes::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir.  ::Sets course::

Host Computer says:
CO: The Romulan vessel's explosion caused the molecule to be ejected into the wormhole.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: I've had one too many problems already today, Commander.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The wormhole is showing signs of collapsing.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: I don't know if the crystal I keep seeing is this Omega molecule or something else.  But I do know that if we don't get hold of the crystal it's power will destroy us.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Best speed to the wormhole.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, I have prepared 25 modified quantum torpedoes.  We are ready to fire, Sir.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Looks over her shoulder to see if the CO understood the importance of what she said::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger.  ::Sets the ship to maximum safe speed to the wormhole::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: I understand your problem, Commander, but this Omega molecule is priority one above anything else.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, if I may ask, what is this "Omega Molecule" you are referring to?

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Sir, what if this molecule IS the crystal from my visions?  I keep seeing something with enormous power.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: You could say this molecule is enormous power in itself.

CNS_McDuggle says:
OPS: Let’s hope your vision and the molecule are the same.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan arrives at the wormhole.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Does it have sentience of some sort?

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir, we are at the wormhole.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: I am not at liberty to inform you or the rest of the crew about this molecule, only that its destruction takes priority one above anything else in the Federation.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Enter the wormhole and pursue the molecule.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Understood, Sir.  ::Shuts up and minds the tactical sensors::

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir.  ::Enters wormhole::

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Tie in navigational and tactical sensors into the tracking of the molecule to allow both to follow it.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The computer beeps in acknowledgement.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Sir, with all due respect, if this molecule is what I am sensing then one ship may be in over its head.  With the power that we are dealing with, if this is what I am in contact with then I may be able to at least slow it down.

CTO_Benson says:
::Tracks the molecule within the wormhole::

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Are we dealing with one Omega molecule?

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Adjust course to stay with molecule::

Host Computer says:
CO: Affirmative.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: With the information I have about the Omega molecule, one starship with the modified quantum torpedoes is sufficient to deal with this molecule.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Sir, permission to go into the Briefing Room?  Without the distractions, I may be able to communicate with the crystal and see if in fact it is this particle.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors detect the molecule passing through the wormhole.  They also detect a shadow that might be another vessel off to the port side.  The wormhole is about to collapse.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sensors are detecting a vessel to port.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Sir, the wormhole is about to collapse.

Host CO_Loran says:
Self:  If the prophets are real, I hope they can keep this wormhole stable and open.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Are we within range of the molecule?

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Negative, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Increase speed to full impulse.   We need catch that molecule.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, if you are going to use these modified quantum torpedoes to destroy the molecule then I suggest a manual detonation to allow us time to escape the resulting explosion and shockwave.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir.  ::Goes to full impulse::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Titan makes it out of the wormhole just as it collapses.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: I advise against that, Sir.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Hopes the crystal, if it isn't the particle waits for them::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: All sensors detect the crystal off the starboard bow at 56,000KM.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir, we are clear of the wormhole.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: I realize your concern, Commander, but this is more important than our safety.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir, however we will have more control over the detonation if I switch to manual.  Sensors are picking up something to our port side.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: What have you detected?

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Continue following the molecule.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: It would seem to be some type of crystal, Sir.  Might be the crystal that Cmdr. Horn keeps visualizing.  It is now 56,000KM off our port, Sir.

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Do what you can with contacting the crystal, Commander.

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: Confirmed, Sir, it's a crystal.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Permission to move to the Briefing Room, Sir?

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: Granted, but keep your COM link open at all times.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: The CSO will also be able to sense any difficulties as well.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Orders duty OPS to the Bridge and moves to the briefing room, opening her COM link on the way::

Host CO_Loran says:
OPS: I understand, but, if you voice any words, or words are voiced in the room from the crystal, we should still be able to hear them.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Sir, according to navigational sensors the molecule is in the crystal.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Moves to the window and closes her eyes::

Host CO_Loran says:
::Looks at the CNS::  Computer: Confirm Commander McDuggle’s sensor readings about the molecule.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
(((Crystal: I am here.  Tell me, what is it you need)))

Host Computer says:
CO: Confirmed.  The source of the Omega Molecule is the crystal now registering on sensors.

Host CO_Loran says:
CSO: Does the crystal register as sentient?

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
(((Crystal: Talk to me)))  ::Stretches out further::

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Places her hand on the window:: (((Crystal: Do you understand me?)))

CSO_Ryan_Horn says:
CO: I don’t read anything that shows it to be a sentient life form, Sir or anything that shows it's thinking.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
*CO: Sir, there is nothing.  It's like whatever was contacting me before just isn't here.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Tactical assessment of the crystal?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Two ships appear on sensors.  They are Jem Hadar fighters

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, it will be difficult to impact such a small target.  I will need to switch to manual detonation.  ::Sensors start beeping:: CO: Sir, two Jem Hadar fighters entering the system.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Do so and fire all necessary torpedoes at the crystal.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Confirm when the molecule has been destroyed.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  ::Switches to manual detonation and locks the crystal on target scanners:: Target locked, firing now!  ::Taps the fire button::

CTO_Benson says:
All: Torpedoes away......detonation in 10 seconds, 9, 8, 7.....

Host CO_Loran says:
CNS: Evasive maneuvers.

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: One JH ship fires on Titan while the other dives for the crystal.

CTO_Benson says:
All: 4, 3, 2, 1......detonating torpedoes!  

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Hears the conversation on the Bridge:: *CO*: Sir, if they get that crystal, we are going to be in some serious trouble.

CNS_McDuggle says:
CO: Roger, Sir, all ready on it.  ::Goes to evasive maneuver Alpha 3::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The torpedoes detonate and sensors overload and go dark.

CTO_Benson says:
::Rocks from the impact of the Jem Hadar weapons impacting the Titan as the sensors blow out::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: The OPS officer now gets a vision of the crystal being beamed away.

CNS_McDuggle says:
::Changes to evasive maneuver Tango 4::

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Falls to the ground, clutching at her stomach::

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sensors are offline!  Shall I try to return fire on the Jem Hadar fighter, Sir?

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Back-up systems come online and sensors reactivate.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
Self: Oh my God, they have it.

Host CO_Loran says:
CTO: Reload photon torpedoes for the attacking the Jem Hadar ships.

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Pulls herself up and runs back onto the Bridge still doubled over, holding her stomach::

Host CDMDave says:
ACTION: Sensors detect a debris field ahead and nothing else.

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.  Reloading!  ::Reloads with photon torpedoes:: Ready, Sir!

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
CO: Sir!  We have got to stop that ship!

OPS_Sarah_Horn says:
::Looks at the viewscreen::

CTO_Benson says:
CO: Sir, all Jem Hadar threats have vanished, nothing on sensors but a debris field.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Did we destroy the molecule?

Host Computer says:
CO: Negative.

Host CO_Loran says:
Computer: Where is the molecule now?
