Host Scooter says:
Nearly two years ago, the USS Scimitar embarked on a six-month journey to track one of the greatest fears of the Federation... One of its own...
Throughout its course of tracking the retrofitted and captured USS Opeongo, Scimitar tried in vain to stop what was in effect an unstoppable civilization-destroyer...
The search was given up as an embattled Scimitar, low on resources and with a crew haggard, limped back to Earth Station McKinley for full refit...
Now, a year later, four seasoned veterans of that fateful half-year have returned with a different ship, but the same dilemma...
But so has the Opeongo, and the Shadowman, its master. Who will finish the job? Who will survive to continue life... the veterans of that which is free, or the culmination of advanced technology and a superior telepathic intellect?
Welcome to the end... Welcome to the Hunt for Red Opeongo, Part 7: Master of Wills

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Send out a shuttle loaded with explosives. A warhead, set to explode on contact if it can get through the shields.

Host Opeongo says:
<O> @ ~~~~ ::looses control for an instant... Shadowman is able to fire a torpedo salvo before the Triton salvo takes out the phaser banks:: ~~~~

Host CO_Winters says:
XO: Hold of until we are sure what is happening.

CDR_McLir says:
