::gets more and more annoyed with the scrambled sensors:: Self: This nebula is so not helping.
 
CEO_Fletcher says:
*OPS* pieces are onboard
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  I am here to try and bring about a cease fire.  If communication from here doesn't work, then, I will try to go there and talk with them.

Queen_Alara says:
@::walks towards a wall in the room and presses a button on the wall and waits for the wall to open:: CO: In there Captain, the console in the center of the room. ::motions him into the room::

CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@CO: I will try, sir.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  Thank you, your highness.  You will not be joining us?
 
FCO_Chottu says:

Host CO_Loran says:
@::stands and waits for the connection to be made::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::still looking at sensors notices a contact, gone as fast as it came:: OPS: A contact, I saw it I'm sure of it sir.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Turns to see what one of the other tech. are doing::
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: It's gone now, but I saw it, twice!..  I think.. sir.

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  From nowhere, weapons fire passes within inches of the Titan's shields.
 
Host CO_Loran says:

Host CO_Loran says:
@COM: Pyran 2:  I am here as an impartial negotiator and will only act as such.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: I apologize for the people of Pyran ll Captain. They are still refusing to make contact with us as you can see.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: evasive action Lt.
 
Host Bafii says:
@ <Tech 1>  CO: Still nothing.  I'm can confirm we are getting through however.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
OPS: Aye sir! ::has the Titan dive and turn left::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: Most of the torpedoes miss the Titan, but a few impact her front shields, they drop to 60%.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
:: locks weapons on ships and fires torpedoes::
 
CEO_Fletcher says:

Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The attack vessels disappear back into the nebula

::looks at the OPS as he notices the ships backing off::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Suddenly the comm room is a glow with red lights as the tech. jump into a flurry of activity.

@Queen:  I take it there is an attack happening?
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Quickly looks at the ceiling as if it might fall in::
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION: One attack vessel appears behind the Titan, firing its energy weapons.
 
Queen_Alara says:

@Queen:  I wouldn't have expected that they could have gotten to the palace.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The Titan's fire glances the shields of the attacker.  However, the Titan's rear shields are now at 90%
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: take whatever evasive action necessary
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  The tech. respond and mobilize the guard.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  If you could instruct your guards to take prisoners, I would appreciate that.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: They must have found a weakness in our defenses. I do not wish you any harm Captain, so you may take your leave of us if you so desire.
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Tension starts to rise as I watch the tech. become more frantic with their actions::

Queen_Alara says:
@CO: I will try. Tech2: Instruct the guards to take prisoners for interrogation.
 
Host Bafii says:
@ <Tech 2>  ::nods and relays the command::
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
::lock phaser on vessel again and fires::
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  I do not necessarily want to interrogate them.  They could help in establishing contact with Pyran 2.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@<Queen's_Guard>: Alara: Your majesty, if you and your party will be so kind as to follow me to a place of safety.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: Lt. watch and see if you can find any pattern with these ships

@Queen: Yes, your Highness.  :;Follows the queen's guard::

@Queen:  I do not believe that my party and myself is in harms way.  However, I do believe that you and your ministers are the ones they are after.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@<Queen's_Guard>All: This way to the underground security room.
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  Two attack vessels approach the Titan for opposite angles, laying down heavy fire.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: then maybe we should try a round about way out
 
Queen_Alara says:
@::stops and looks at the Captain:: CO: I do not think that these terrorists will distinguish the Federation from my people Captain.
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@::decides to follow the Queen and her guards even though he feels he isn't in any danger::

@::watches the Federation people and hopes that they will not be harmed::
 
CMO_Catherine_Madson says:
@::Takes the phaser and looks at it dumbly:: Self:  I've never handled one of these, what do I do?
 
Host Bafii says:
ACTION:  A blast hits the CTO square in the chest and he is knocked down - out for the count.

FCO_Chottu says:
Self: Or not.
 
Host Bafii says:

ACTION:  One attack vessel is immediately destroyed, but the others are still attacking.
 
FCO_Chottu says:
::tries to avoid the attack vessels more then actually heading for Pyran 3:: OPS: That was my idea sir.
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: We must get out of here. That rubble is not going to stop them for long.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
*ME* : we need warp drive as fast at you can get it back up
 
Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  Good, that is what I wanted, but, didn't expect it to happen this quickly.  ::smiles back::
 
Queen_Alara says:
@CO: Is your ship nearby? You could talk to the prisoners there.
 
OPS_McDuggle says:
FCO: I will see if I can help keep them off us as well

Host CO_Loran says:
@Queen:  They went to find out about a distress call that was nearby.  They haven't reported back yet, so, I'm guessing they are still away from the planet.
