OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
    :: turns to look at Commander Sommers :: XO: Ma'am shall I open a channel to the Klingon ship?

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::targeting the Bird of Prey weapons and engines::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::On Bridge.::  OPS:  Hail them, and see if they respond.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: I have there engines and weapons targeted

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CMO*:  Lieutenant Latta, can you come to the bridge, please?

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::monitoring the little boy's vitals as he rests:: *XO*: On my way.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Maintain target, but hold fire.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: nods and opens a channel :: COM: BIRD OF PREY: This is the USS Triton, please respond. What is your purpose here?

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: yes sir  :: watches the Bird of Prey for any wrong move::

ACTION: A sudden hissing sound is heard from behind the CO where he was surveying the damage.  Suddenly a loud bang is heard and the deck plate on deck 9 shatters, hurling the CO and three security guys down the corridor away from the CEO and the others.  The corridor bulkhead crumples completely blocking off the CO from the rest of the ship.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::grabs a med kit and runs to the nearest TL.:: TL: Bridge

ACTION: Decompression alarms are heard throughout the ship as force fields are slammed into place effectively sealing that area off and protecting everyone else.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::turns:: Out loud: What the hell!!!!!!!! Captain!!!!!

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: Deck 9, deck plating just shattered; shields are holding

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Get a security and maintenance team down there.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: it's were the captain is :: looking up at her::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::with her mandate running hot in her head she begins to move pieces of the bulkhead digging to get to the captain::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CO/CEO*:  Sommers to Captain K'Vas or Commander Mo'Bri?  Come in please.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::arrives on the Bridge:: XO: What did you need?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: is worried after hearing the alarms ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::sends a SEC and notifies Engineering to send a team to deck 9::   XO: teams on the way

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Bulkhead gave in on deck 9 trapping three security guards and the captain ahead of me and the other security guard.  I am digging to get to him now.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  I need you to man Science, Lieutenant.  It appears our science officer just showed us his lunch.  ::points to the floor.::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  Can you tell if he's alive?

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  Can sensors detect life signs in that area of the ship?

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
*CEO* I’m sending you a SEC and ENG team your way

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: listens for the Klingons to respond to her hail ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::continues to dig using her combined strength of her Vulcan and Klingon strengths::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Any response from the Klingons?

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks:: XO: Oh my. ::walks over to Science One and signs herself in::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: Getting something now Commander. Channel open.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: He is still alive sir; I sense him.  ::continues to dig with her bare hands::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self: Come on Mo'Bri use that strength.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Get someone from maintenance to .. ::points to the puke on the floor next to the CSO console:: clean that up.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::picks up one edge of the bulkhead and strains and pushes it away only to reveal more debris::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: Aye ma'am. :: contacts maintenance to send some one to the bridge ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::continues to dig with her hands::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  And find out if that Klingon Bird of Prey needs assistance.

Security says:
::meets up with the ENG team and goes into the TL and heads to deck 9::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Self: Martok will have my head on a post if I let the captain die like this.

Host K`Trok says:
@COM:USS Triton: This is Captain K'Trok of the Klingon fighter Belar.  You have failed the test.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Commander. There are life signs where the CO is. They are intermittent because of the radiation.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  Lieutenant, can you get a lock on the trapped crew members and beam them to sickbay?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: Oh Commander, you might want to take this call.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Place it on video, Lieutenant.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: No. I can't. Radiation is preventing a lock.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: taps the screen controls :: XO: On screen ma'am.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::picking up a heavy piece of the ships wall she tosses it away like it was a toy::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Please coordinate efforts to get the Captain and those team members out.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: nods silently to the XO ::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
COM: K'Trok:  This is Commander Sommers of the USS Triton.  What test are you talking about?

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::console beeps::  XO I have a Romulan warbird on an intercept course

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::continues to dig not realizing that her hands are bleeding while she is working::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Intercept course for what?  Us?  The planet?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
*CEO*: Commander, do you need any other equipment to assist you? Anti-grav's perhaps?

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: For us Commander; 30 minutes out

ACTION: The screen comes to life showing the interior of a Klingon ship.  Fires can be seen on consoles behind a large Klingon sitting in his command chair.  He is sitting back and glaring into the viewscreen.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::looks up at the screen::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Keep me posted, Commander.  Maintain red alert.

Security says:
:: TL doors open and they all rush to the CEO::

Host K`Trok says:
@COM:XO: You have failed the test.  Prepare to be boarded. ::the screen goes dark as communications are cut::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: yes sir, you better believe it

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks at the screen::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
SEC: Hurry, help me move this bulkhead.  The captain is trapped.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::picks up one end and literally picks it up::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: looks over at Sommers :: XO: Boarded ma'am?

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Maintain shields. They are not to board this vessel.  Initiate anti-repellant boarder protocols.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: This keeps getting "curiouser and curiouser" to quote an earth author.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::opens internal comm::  All personal: we are trying to be boarded activate all anti-repellant boarder protocols, all SEC run intruder alert

ACTION: A large Bird of Prey uncloaks just off the Triton's port nacelle and fires, rocking the ship hard.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Return fire.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Target their weapons.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*Saunders*: Main Engineering is lock down; all personnel to wear phasers on heavy stun setting. Level of forcefield around core to be increased to level 10.  I want only trusted people manning the..........::is knocked off her feet:: OOfffffftttttt

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::hangs onto her seat for dear life::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::fires phaser on first location and possible course::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
SEC: Something hit us.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::Advises the FCO to engage evasive maneuvers.::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: grabs the side of her console ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::continues to dig with her bare hands::

Security says:
CEO: the XO and CTO can handle that; lets get the captain out

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  Commander, we are under attack.  Suggest you get to engineering.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::fires again targeting there weapons::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: I can't leave the captain, Sam.  My mandate.  ::tears forming::

ACTION: The CTO's shot hits true.  BIRD OF PREY shields are down to 95%.  K'Trok's ship maneuvers into position on the Triton’s Starboard nacelle and fires knocking the Triton hard again.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: sends some anti-grav's to deck nine just in case ::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  That's an order, Commander.  I need my best engineer in engineering.  We have a security and maintenance team working to free the Captain.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::goes flying across the deck and hits the wall::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::falls across her console::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
All: Power holding for the moment.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::fires on K'Trok's ship with phasers followed by torpedos since it is already damaged from the explosion it took from us earlier::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  And if you don't get us to engineering to get us more power, you won't have to worry about freeing the Captain.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Shield status, Commander?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::gets up shakily bleeding from several cuts on her head and taps her combadge:: *XO*: Sam I am going, but I am hurt that last shot was nearly point blank.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::then rotates and fires on the other ship with phasers::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::holds a rag to her head and her bleeding hands and steps into the TL and heads for engineering;:

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  You will live, J'Loni.  Now get to engineering!  We're at battle stations!

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: shields holding ma'am

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*:Sam engineering has been at battle alert for the past 48 hours.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: You know I stay two steps ahead of the captain.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Commander, the Bird of Prey is up to full power despite the damage to shields.

ACTION: the Tritons' phasers hit the BIRD OF PREY and the torpedoes detonate....but the BIRD OF PREY was too close and the Triton is knocked askew by the blast from their own torpedoes.  Power flickers off and on before settling back on.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::Grumbles to herself at the CEO's response.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::is thrown against the other side of the TL and gets another laceration::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::slam his fist on the consul for firing so close to us::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: again has to hold on to the console :: All: Power down, seventy-five percent!

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::Orders the FCO to maneuver away from the Bird of Preys so they can have a better tactical advantage.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: shields down to 85%

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::fires again at K'Trok vessel hoping to disable it, with phasers only::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: There is damage to life support on the lower decks. Reroute power from non-essential systems?

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Pull power from secondary resources, and channel that power to shields and weapons.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::slides off the TL and into engineering and starts to shout orders::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Commander, I want you to focus on the stronger of the two Birds of Prey.  Target their engines so that they can not maneuver as easily.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::wipes the blood from her face:: Saunders: I need all fusion reactors online now.

ACTION: the CTO scores another hit on K'Trok's ship and the BIRD OF PREY shields are down to 70%.  Both BIRD OF PREY shadow the Triton on either side, alternating hitting the nacelles one after another.  the Triton is shaking back and forth badly under the barrage.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
*MO_Payne*: How are things down there?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: Aye Commander, rerouting power from all non essential systems, and increasing shield and weapons strength.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*OPS*: Bringing online all fusion reactors now.  You should have sufficient power in a few minutes.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  Any other signs of cloaked ships that you can see?

MO Payne says:
*CMO*: Casualties are starting to arrive. So far there is nothing we can't handle::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::fires phasers in 5 repeated blasts on their engine’s shields trying to break through, on the other Klingon ship::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: Commander..... :: taps the controls :: power dropping, sixty percent now. Casualty reports coming in from all decks as well.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Life support has failed on decks 10-13. I've issued the evacuation order.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
*CEO*: I hope it's enough. We're taking a beating here.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*:You don't have to quote orders to me Sam I know them better than you think.  I just can't leave the captain there.  Adding power to SIF and IDF as we speak now.  All my damage teams are at their stations and my forcefields are holding but we are losing power as if we are being drained.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Can you determine if we have enough power to outrun those two vessels?

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Also, my sensors can detect nothing but the Birds-of-Prey that are hammering us.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Sam, I can give you a roman candle for about four minutes at high warp but it will screw up the ODN conduit relays for weeks.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: scanning n there ships engines ma'am,  :: while firing at them at the same time::

ACTION: The second BIRD OF PREY peels off enough to minimize the impact of the phaser fire from the Triton.  And both BIRD OF PREY fall back still battering the Triton.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CEO:  Acknowledged.  
::Orders the FCO to take them toward the Romulan ship that was headed in their direction.::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: reaches over to the helm display :: XO: We've just lost warp drive. :: shakes her head slowly ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Warp is down.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::sees the ships fall back:: XO: go to maximum warp, we can't take much more, our shields down to 55%, the Bird of Preys are at 70% and 50%

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  We just lost warp.  
*CEO*:  J'Loni, I need warp, now!

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Continue firing on them.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: The only way is the Roman Candle.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::fires phasers at both ships and fires a torpedo. at each of them since they did fall back::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  Then give me the bloody thing!

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Saunders: get your tool kit and come with me.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: tries to assist the helm officer without much luck ::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
FCO:  When we get that burst from engineering, I want you to head toward that Romulan warbird headed toward us.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Give them everything you got.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::picks up her own tool kit and both head for the warp core junction relay units::

ACTION: Another hard volley hits the Triton.  but both Bird of Prey pull back even further and start to maneuver around to dodge the weapons fire from the Triton

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  Can you detect any nebulas in the area that we can use for cover?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: can see that the helm officer is scared ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::fires a full volley of torpedoes. and phasers at both ships::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::scans for nebulas::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::sees the maneuver and sets to wide spread and fires again::

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: Commander maybe we should try hailing them again?

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  I'm not so sure they want to talk, Lieutenant.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
OPS: they are Klingon they will not listen other than not surrender

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  They've pretty much made it clear what they want.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::shows Saunders what to do and she does the same by replacing the power relays and removing the power constrictors and replaces them with magnetic constrictors that have been locked in the on position allowing the plasma to flow freely to the engines::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Anything’s worth a shot Commander, anything.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: shrugs and continues to watch the power levels ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Saunders: That should do it lets go.  ::hurries back to engineering and the main power boards::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Try hailing them.  Ask them what they want, aside from surrender.  If those are their terms, tell them then perhaps it is a good day to die.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO:BIRD OF PREY down to 60%, K'Trok's down to 40%, and we are to 40%, can't get now more power to our shields

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Sam you got your Roman candle but it will take me three hours to get the warp core online after this.  It will fry all my ODN Relays you know.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Commander systems are failing all over the ship.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: I very much doubt those with families aboard would agree with you ma'am.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: opens a channel quickly :: COM: BIRD OF PREY: This is the USS Triton. We request your terms to cease hostilities.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::continues to fire on both ships with phasers followed by torpedoes.::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  Lieutenant, if you have any other suggestions, I would love to hear them.  I am aware of the systems failing.  Unfortunately, I am not about to surrender this vessel.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: whispers to the XO :: XO: Commander, power at forty per cent.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Commander, permission to speak freely

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  Permission granted.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: I didn't save that little boy for him to die like this

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: There is another thing you might want to try.  IF they want this ship so bad why not do the self destruct sequence.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  And I am not about to turn this ship over to a vessel who has attacked us, Lieutenant.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: wonders why the Klingons are so angry with them ::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  Your objection is duly noted.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: I don't want to surrender either, but there are more to think of here then you.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Send an encrypted comm to SFHQ and apprise them of our situation.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: The Klingons are not answering our hails.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  I figured they would not.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::shuts up and goes back to scanning for a nebula::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
self: here is my message :: fires again with wide spread torpedoes. and several phaser blasts::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*:I will not be taken as a prisoner.  I would rather die first.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: Sending the message now Commander. :: does as instructed on a secure and encrypted channel.::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::roars in engineering as she is howling mad::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  No one is going to be taken prisoner, J'Loni.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Distance for that Romulan vessel to reach us?

ACTION: The Triton is hit hard again by a volley from both ships.  Consoles all over the bridge spark up and conduits blow out all over the ship.  The crew is knocked to their feet as the ship is rocked over and over.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::goes flying across engineering yet again::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::falls backward covering her face::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Evacuate all non-essential decks.  Pull power from those decks.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: ducks some falling debris as she lands on the deck ::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out Loud: Heut'tuegh

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::gets knocked down gets up fast and tried to us the consul and slams his fist down::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::Holds onto a nearby console.::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: sensors offline and we have lost weapon control

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::gets up and goes to power console::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::tries everything he can to get weapons back online::

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
Out loud: What the hell is wrong with this ship.  This is supposed to be the top of the line.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: scrambles to her seat only to find more bad news :: XO: Commander! Power is failing, we're down to minimal levels, and we've.....just lost shields.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::sits up and locks at console:: XO: Ma'am life support is failing and sensors and most systems are offline ::her tone is professional but icy::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: shields are failing, another hit and it's all over

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: Comm those Klingons and ask what it is they want.  If it is me then they have me,

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: looks at Toir :: CTO: I have no power to give you sir.

ACTION: the barrage continues for a few more seconds and then there is silence.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Comm them, and ask them what their terms are.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
OPS: it doesn't matter we are dead,    OUT LOUD: today is a good day to die

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
XO: They are hailing us ma'am....channel open.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
OPS:  Onscreen.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: taps the viewer :: XO: Screen on.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::rolls her eyes at someone so ready to throw away life::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
::Waits for the Klingons to discuss terms.::

ACTION: A fuzzy and staticy image appears on the viewscreen.  In fact, as the image comes up, the Triton's viewscreen, damaged in the fight, suddenly tilts to one side as one of the supports on the top gives way.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
::bleeding hands fly over her partially dead consoles trying to get some power for at least the engines and shields::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
COM: K'Trok:  You have my attention.  Now what is it that you want?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: tilts her head like the viewscreen ::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::looks at the viewscreen::

Host K`Trok says:
@COM:XO: Next time....do not fail the test. ::the channel goes dead as the communication is cut::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
Out loud to all:  What the ^&*( is that supposed to mean?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: turns to the XO :: XO: Test Commander?

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: I don't know, but this is the second time he's referred to it.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Commander?  Are their weapons still charged?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: What is going on?

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: gets another report on casualties ::

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: they just left the area

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  I have no idea, J'Loni.  They keep talking about a test.  Is there some kind of Klingon ritual you guys go through before you decide to kill someone?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: No  unless they are testing us for something other than battle.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  I think we're safe .. for the moment.

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
XO: Could it have been a test on whether or not we would interfere with the planet?

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*Permission to come to bridge.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: motions to the doctor to come closer ::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
*CEO*:  Your priorities are engineering, Commander.  Get this ship back up and running.  We have a Romulan warbird on the way.

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
XO: perhaps they were testing us for defensive capabilities, they might be with the Romulans

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::goes over to OPS::

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CMO:  I don't know what concern that would be of theirs.  I don't understand.

CEO_LtCmdr_Mo`Bri says:
*XO*: If this is a test then I will say that we failed it miserably but my concern is not only for this ship but for the captain.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  I do not believe they are with the Romulans.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
:: speaking softly :: CMO: I'm sorry ma'am, but that boy, you know the one in sickbay..

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::shrugs:: XO: I'm only attempting to give some hypothesis

CTO_LtCmdr_Naug says:
::walks over to stand beside the XO: XO: and what makes you say that  :: just so she can here it::

CMO_Lt_Latta says:
::grows concerned:: OPS: Yes

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  Because the Romulans would rather see us die.  They had the upper hand.  They could have killed us if they wanted.

Host XO_Commander_Sommers says:
CTO:  My  guess is, they wanted something onboard.  Check for the Captain's biosign.

OPS_Lt_Chatters says:
