::shook to ground from what seems to be turbulence::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She waits in the Turbo Lift as it begins heading for the Bridge:: *Jones*: Make sure the Captain gets proper treatment Samantha. If anything comes up contact me immediately.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::has arrived on the bridge just in time to see the Captain get carted away by a medical teams:: Self: Interesting ::looks around the bridge::

Host Pam says:
ACTION: A phaser blast has narrowly missed the Triton's hull...ok who did that?

CEO_Lt_T`Ponga_Shemara says:
::in the TL on her way to the torpedo bay::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>*CMO*: Understood, ma'am. I will don't worry.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: What was that?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::The Turbo Lift stops and she walks back onto the Bridge:: Self: I have not been this busy for awhile. ::She quickly moves over to Science::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::walks over to tactical station:: *EO*: Looks like a phaser shot...there going to find us and soon.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::looks around to see the Red Alert and the klaxons go off::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CMO: What happened up here Lieutenant?

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@ COM: Triton: Shuttle Yavin to USS Triton. Permission to dock?

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The two Talarian ships move closer to the Triton and station themselves directly in front of the ship.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She tries to get a reading on the ships down there:: CTO: Well they fired at us but I am not sure if they knew exactly where we were. It may have been a blind shot.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
OPS: Tell him to standby we'll get him in as soon as possible.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CEO*: We have a new problem; they just fired on us.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Double checks the power distribution.::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: It looks like the two Talarian ships are now right in front of us Commander.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::walks out of TL and walks a few steps to walk into the Torpedo Bay after the standard security clearance::

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
CTO:  You know ma'am lets shoot back.... I'm really not in the mood to play cat and mouse today... ::Deep southern accent, then she snaps her gum.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@COM: Triton: I have micro torpedoes and a phaser X3 phaser bank here I can use to help. On your Mark.

CEO_Lt_T`Ponga_Shemara says:
::walks off the TL and heads towards the torpedo bay::  *EO*: I know son I am almost to your position.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She continues to read the information on her console:: CTO: I would not suggest shooting back yet Commander.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: One of the rebel ships is hailing the Triton.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Turns:: CTO:  I have LtCmdr Ray wanting to land.... Oh, the bad guys want to have a chat....

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
OPS: The day is yet young, tell our FCO we are going to give him a 5 second window to get through our shields.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
COM: Shuttle: FCO:  Honey, put the pedal to the metal, you have 10 seconds to land starting in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1  ::Drops shields::

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
CTO:  And the bad guys?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She hears OPS and wonders where the heck they got this one from. She then looks over at Athena as she tries to sense something from the Talarian ship::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
OPS: Put them on. ::stays up near tactical.::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::starts working on the Recon Probe:: Engineer: Hand me a torque wrench.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
@ ::goes full throttle into the shuttle bay::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
<Engineer>: EO: Aye sir.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: landing perfectly::

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Brings the Talarians on screen:: CTO:  There ya go ma'am.  ::Brings the shields up once again.  Hopes the FCO got through.  Checks::  FCO:  Cmdr please report to the bridge.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::waits for the pirates to go first as they contacted her and Athena does not wish to give away the high ground::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*OPS* On my way. :: exiting the shuttle and enters the turbo lift::

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Blows a bubble with her gum.::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She looks over at OPS who just blew a bubble:: Self: Of course.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*FCO*: Cmdr, Glad to see you made it aboard just a quick brief while you were gone and we were in space dock, they installed a new battle flight control system. Once activated two hand slits come appear and you place your hands and the ship moves to you hand movements you need to calibrate it to your movements before you attempt to use it.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Feels yes on her and turns to with a look of what's your problem at the CMO.::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::Not for the first time, wonders why she left the marines, after a moment of silence:: COM: Talarian: Rogitur: What can we do for you Mr. ....?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineer: Ok see if you can find a photon accelerator and 8 EMP generators with the best blast yield you can find.

Host T_Rogitur says:
@COM: Triton: CTO: This is Commander Rogitur of the Talarian fighter Git'em. Hold your position or be fired upon again.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
<Engineer>: EO: Got it.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She looks over at OPS once more giving her that "You should not be doing that" look and then looks up at the screen::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
*EO* No thanks. I prefer the old fashioned way.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Blows another bubble at the CMO and turns back to her console and lets out a little giggle.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: enters Bridge::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She rolls her eyes tempted to order OPS to spit the gum out::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
COM: Talarian: Rogitur: Mr. Rogitur, by firing on this ship you have broken several laws which are too numerous to list at this time...unless I receive a sufficient explanation I will be forced to take you into custody.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
Bridge: Who's in command?

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::low so it doesn’t pick up on speakers:: OPS: Shut up and eyes forward ::said coolly::

Host T_Rogitur says:
@COM: Triton: CTO: You are encroaching on Talarian space. Back off now and we will consider this incident closed. This is your only warning. ::cuts the COM link::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She hears Commander Ray and looks over at him:: FCO: That would be Commander Sciortino Commander.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Turns around again.:: CTO: Huh.... ::She wasn't doing anything and her eyes were in the front of her face.::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineer: Ok we need to reinstall the warp core to this probe and set it for instant remote detonation and with a security fail safe to detonate if we are unable to require signal with 15 seconds.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
<Engineer>: EO: Sounds tricky but I can do it with a few timers and remote detonators.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
FCO: If you could please take your station, and back us up 1 meter...we must comply after all.

Host T_Rogitur says:
ACTION: The CEO suddenly develops a blinding headache and falls to the deck unconscious.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
CTO:  Ma'am they have cut the com.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::runs a tactical analysis of the situation from her console::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: Yes ma’am.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
CTO:  Trying to reestablish.  ::Hands fly over the console.::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::sees Lt. Shemara collapse as she walks in:: *CMO*: Medical emergency, the CEO just walked in and she has collapsed, she is not responding.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
OPS: Lieutenant cease your actions...if they don't want to talk then I don't want to talk, at least for the moment.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineer: Continue your work.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She hears her Combadge:: *EO*: Understood Ensign. ::She taps her Combadge again:: *Jones*: Retrieve Lieutenant Shemara and bring her to Sickbay. I want her stats quickly, if I am needed contact me immediately.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: goes over and replaces other crew member at Conn::

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Stops what she is doing.:: CTO:  Aye Ma'am... I'll monitor sub space traffic just in case they say anything "interesting".

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
OPS: Good idea.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>::Walks into the Torpedo Bay:: *CMO*: I am with her now ma'am. ::She takes out Tricorder and scans the CEO:: EO: What happened?

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: Backing up one meter.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::goes over to panel and pulls out an emergency med kit to immobilize the Lt.'s neck and body::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CMO/FCO: I'd like some opinions on this situation here...we could easily enough blast them out of the water but...that is far less subtle than I prefer.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Jones: I don't know she walked in held her head as if she had a headache and just collapsed without saying a word.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: The tactical approach would not be sufficient right now Commander. We should only fire if we really need to.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The fighters back off slightly put keep their weapons trained on the Triton as the other five ships continue to Castal.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>::She reads over the Tricorder:: *Bridge*: I need an emergency transport, myself and Lieutenant Shemara to Sickbay.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: they have acted against federation ships if I am correct. And committed an act of terrorism, plus we were sent to destroy their base.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
FCO: That is "if" there is a base Commander.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: Lieutenant Jones and the CEO are transported to sickbay.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::steps back and watches as Lt. Jones and Shemara are transported and gets back to work himself::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineer: Did you rig it already?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
<Engineer>: EO: Aye I did.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Engineer: Return to Engineering ASAP we have a light crew down there and they could use your help.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>::she begins working on the CEO:: Nurse: She has blockage in her brain which has caused the collapse, probably by a headache. We need to repair this quickly.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
<Engineering>: EO: Aye sir.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<Medical Team>::Begins to work on the CEO::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CMO: Please run a long-range scan and see if there is a possibility of a base.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
FCO: I have been running scans Commander, nothing has come up as of yet. ::Continues to look at her readings::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: Telarus to Bridge, I have the probe nearly complete with the help of a few engineers, I have also rig it for detonation. Never know when we will need the tactical advantage, I have deduced that there sensor net is very antiquated it is served by the base that we are attempting to scan. I have loaded the probe with a high yield EMP bomb.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
Bridge: Alright...here what we are going to do for now... we'll send out some subspace chatter to SB16 like we are asking for advice, back off at warps six for a few seconds then resume are previous course, any questions?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: Along with it a physical bomb as well the probe's original warp core with a photon accelerator attached should be a significant blow when detonated.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: None Commander. ::She continues to look at her console at the readings that she is getting::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
*EO*: Good work Ensign continue on then.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CTO*: Aye.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The CMO gets something on the long-range scanners.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: On your mark ma’am.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Her console then begins to beep and she reads the information:: CTO: Commander I am getting a low frequency energy reading.. ::she pauses::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
Bridge: Allright then.. OPS: Send out some encrypted chatter.. lets make it look good...

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CMO: Of what kind, and what's the source?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::thinks to self how can I increase the stealth and the yield at the same time then the preverbal light bulb turns on::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She continues to read:: CTO: It seems to be on a small planetoid near Galen IV. It is hard to pinpoint; it may be shielded.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CMO: The colony...They could be in trouble.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::begins coating the outer shell with composite borite and the interior shell with composite trilithium::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: Either that or a secret base is there. I am trying to get a more accurate scan Commander. ::Moves her hand quickly along her console::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CMO: Keep and eye on it for now.  Tell me the instant you get anything new.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: Of course Commander.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
CTO:  On it Ma'am..  ::Begins sending out the latest gossip from the ship...all not true of course...  Encrypts, Lt Yates has a new boyfriend...Tall dark and slimy.::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: still awaiting mark to go to warp::

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The two Talarian fighters seem to be increasing the distance between themselves and the Triton, moving back towards Castal.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
Self: Activating ECM systems... ::reads the display 100%:: EECM... ::reads at standby:: Warp Core and propulsion... ::reads at 100 %:: Sensors and Communications :: at 100%::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::continues with the rest of the onboard systems and then sees everything is good for launch:: *CTO*: We are ready to launch I suggest we launch it with the com buoy that we are gonna launch to mask the launch. The rest of the stealth is up to the R & D that I put into the shell and the rest of the onboard countermeasures.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
FCO: Back us off at warp now , then head back on our original course.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She taps her Combadge:: *Jones*: What is the status of Lieutenant Shemara?

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CMO: I want to know what is going on at Galen IV, use whatever science resources you have to, the colonies safety is our first priority.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: Aye ma’am going to warp six.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: Understood Commander. I am trying to get information on it. ::Moves hands quicker::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CTO*: Shall I launch?

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>*CMO*: She is fine now ma'am. I will have a report on your desk when you get back.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
*EO*: Go ahead with the launch Ensign.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She sighs in relief:: *Jones*: Great work Samantha.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: Torpedo Tube One, Recon Probe...ready...and launched.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
<LtJG_Jones>*CMO*: Thank you ma'am. I am keeping her here for 24 hours to make sure everything is ok, ma'am.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CTO*: Status on the probe it will be clearing the fighter wings SRS within 1 minute, this will be it's test of stealth.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*Jones*: Of course "Doctor." ::She smiles knowing Samantha has not been called Doctor before::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
*EO* Acknowledged, There has been a change of plan though Ensign, set the probes course for Galen IV to check out an energy phenomena we've picked up.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: At our coordinates to turn around.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
FCO: Reverse and set course for Castal.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The two fighters leave the Triton and disappear into the atmosphere of Castal.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:: sets course and speed::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CTO*: Negative, I can't the probe was preprogrammed coordinates and I have it on radio blackout until it finishes its scans it won't let me hail it until the scan operation is complete, it recognizes that as it's primary mission.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO Aye, ma’am.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She hears the EO:: CTO: Couldn't he had that mission as a secondary one?

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
:goes to warp six at reverse course towards Castal::

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The CMO's sensors of the planetoid suddenly register a series of power spikes.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
*EO*: Acknowledge though for the next 15 minutes I want you to think about two words, mission flexibility,  learn to love the idea.  Bridge out.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::scrambles to get another regular Recon probe ready::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Her facial expression changes as looks at her console:: CTO: Commander I am getting readings of power spikes, they are coming from the planetoid.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*Bridge*: I will have a another recon probe on the launch tube in 3 minutes, I am initiating a crash program to get it on the ramp and out within that time.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
CMO: Well set out a regular recon probe for Galen IV as I'm sure our engineer is now setting it up.  Launch it when ready.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
CTO: Understood Commander. ::She taps the COM:: *EO*: How is the recon probe coming Ensign?

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CMO*: 30 Seconds...

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*EO*: Contact me when ready Ensign. ::She looks back at her console::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::sees the clamps have engaged and modifies the Type V probe for maximum escape warp velocity towards Galen IV::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: We are currently 2 hours away at Warp 6.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
FCO: Thank you commander.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CMO*: Ready and launched.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The EO's modified probe begins to deviate from it's programmed course.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*EO*: Understood Ensign.

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CTO: Just doing my job ma’am.

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
OPS: Lieutenant, send the authorities on Galen IV an encoded message with the readings we have received, ask them to unobtrusively investigate.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Snaps her gum::  CTO:  I have the readings... encrypting now.  ::Fingers fly over the console.::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Looks at sensors:: *EO*: My scans show the probe is deviating from its course Ensign.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: OPS suddenly begins to choke on her gum.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CMO*: I am seeing that too, I have no explanation. It could be that it is being jammed.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Hands fly to her throat and she begins gagging and falls to her knees::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*EO*: Understood Ensign. ::She tries to see what is going on with the probe::

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
::just roll her eyes and moves over to ops, pulling her up and quickly performing the Heimlich maneuver::

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Face begins turning blue.::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::She looks at OPS and runs over to her::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CMO*: I am gonna attempt communicating with the probe and see if it's com systems are now active from the resulting deviation and I will attempt to load a new program and see if I can activate it's laser guidance that should prevent any further jamming.

OPS_Lt_Gossip says:
::Passes out::

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
FCO: Transport OPS to Sickbay please Commander. I will have Lieutenant Jones tend to her.

AEO_Lt_Crammer says:
::Running to engineering and trips over a downed officer::

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
::initiates com systems and gets through with success, begins to load new programs initiates ECM, EECM, Laser Guidance, Jamming Field, and uploads new directives::

FCO_LtCmdr_Ray says:
CMO: Conducting transport... now.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: OPS is transported to sickbay.

AEO_Lt_Crammer says:
Self: Blast it.  ::picks self up and continues to engineering::

AEO_Lt_Crammer says:
Self: What the blazes is going on.  Most of the crew is either hurt missing or otherwise.

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
::Taps Combadge:: *Jones* Prepare for another wounded. She just passed out.

EO_Ens_Telarus says:
*CMO*: Initiate a long range scan and see if the probe has taken course again, please.

AEO_Lt_Crammer says:
::enters engineering::  Ens. Spanner: Where is the CEO?

Host CTO_LtCmdr_Sciortino says:
Self: Well your finally in command Athena...although apparently you've signed up for the voyage of the damned...

CMO_Lt_Yates says:
*EO*: One moment Ensign I am dealing with a medical emergency.

Host Pam says:
ACTION: The probe is closing on the planetoid fast.
