USS Vesuvius:  ACTD-wide Mission:  Journey's end Part II (Thick as Thieves Episode Eleven) -- The Sword

Host Gerry says:
Previously on the USS Vesuvius:

Host Gerry says:
After having been diverted from chasing what appeared to be members of a rouge Tal Shiar faction that had allied themselves with the Borg, the Vesuvius had diverted to Starbase 266 for re-supply.  As the task was nearing completion, a strange symbol appeared on all workstation and ship main terminal screens.

Host Gerry says:
Those who recollected their Terran History know that it was the Omega Symbol, but what meaning it had and why only the Captain's command codes would unlock the stations is a mystery to the crew.

Host Gerry says:
Acting on direct orders from the highest levels of Starfleet command, Captain Royce has ordered the Vesuvius to the Madtion Nebula (where the warp trails of the joint Borg-Romulan task force was headed) at maximum warp and to be ready for anything.

Host Gerry says:
The ship is 4 hours from the nebula in the late afternoon...

Host CO Royce says:
*CIV* Mr. Galen, considering your background in Engineering, please report there.

CMO Delar says:
*CVI*: Not immediately Ensign, Ensign Walker, Lt. Aola and I have most matters under control.  However if there is any damage to the Vesuvius we may require triage assistance in sickbay...

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Ensign Chaser...take us to Yellow Alert.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A ship is picked up at extreme sensor range...

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Sir-r ship's oper-rations stand at 100 per-r-cent efficiency, tactical is at
gr-reen, r-ready for action

ASO Lane says:
XO: Science is ready sir, all sensors nominal.

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Aye Sir-r

CNS Shirley says:

OPS Chaser says:
XO: Aye Sir-r

XO Kelson says:
*CMO* Kelson here.  Go ahead Doctor.

CIV Galen says:
:: Goes over to the master display and checks out all the systems.  Seeing everything in order and no variants he needs to watch he goes and sits down in his office adjacent to the warp core. ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Crosses sickbay and preps some equipment ::   *XO*: Commander, sickbay reports ready status.  We are prepped for combat situations as deemed by the Commanding Officer, sir.

ASO Lane says:
CO: Captain, sensors have a ship on the long-range sensors.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION: The science station comes to life, a particular molecular signature is detected...and then the screen goes blank...

CIV Galen says:
*XO*: Engineering ready here sir.

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Can you identity?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION: The ship disappears from sensors...

XO Kelson says:
*CMO* Excellent, Doctor.  Carry on.

XO Kelson says:
*CIV* Thank you, Mr. Galen.  Carry on.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Sits up a little straighter in her chair ::

CIV Galen says:
*XO*: Warp drive and impulse at optimum.

CIV Galen says:
*XO*: Acknowledged.

ASO Lane says:
CO: Negative ma'am, sensors have lost it. I thought it had a strange signature but now....

OPS Chaser says:
:: Thinks the ship is now cloaked ::

XO Kelson says:
CO: All stations report readiness, Captain.

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Cloaked per-rhaps?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::  XO:  Thank you, Commander.

CNS Shirley says:
:: Finds a chair and sits down and just relaxes some ::

CMO Delar says:
:: He deactivates the neural stimulator after running a brief diagnostic and goes and hands several PADDs to Doctor Aola ::   Aola: Please check on the Medical labs. Make sure that all the experiments are under full containment and lockdown...

FCO Horn says:
:: At helm control ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Tries to refocus the sensors to detect that ship again ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Releases antichroniton particles 20 micron per thousand into the ship's environment. ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Perhaps, Ensign

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Try looking for any cloaked vessels

ASO Lane says:
CO: On it Captain.

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks over to science ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Pulls up tactical array readings ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Particular molecules are detected from the Madtion Nebula ahead...

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Look for any ion trails...anything

CIV Galen says:
:: Keeps a close eye on the warp core and all key systems. ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Runs a tachyon sweep of the area looking for chroniton particles ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: The fur on the back of Tigodan's neck stands straight up and her ears lay
back. ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Did sensors pick up any specific data?

ASO Lane says:
CO: Captain, I'm picking up some unusual molecules coming from the Madtion Nebula straight ahead.

FCO Horn says:
:: Continues making minor course corrections due to space drifts and stuff ::

CMO Delar says:
:: He slowly marches into his office and activates his computer. As the files upload he begins to review his data and think of possible alternatives to protect the crew against the Borg weapon used on the Hurricane. ::

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  Can you identify those particles?

ASO Lane says:
XO: Nothing specific sir.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Lane's console locks down and an OMEGA symbol is seen on its screen

OPS Chaser says:
:: Floods the shield bubble with beta tachyon’s, hoping to increase shield efficiency. ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Looks at screen ::

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Oh no...not again...

ASO Lane says:
CO/XO: I've lost sensors...   :: Looks at the screen ::

XO Kelson says:
XO: We've got the Omega sign again, Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
Computer:  Override science console, authorization Royce Delta Tango 524

ASO Lane says:
CO: I know this symbol; it’s the Greek Omega.

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves to OPS ::

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Lane's station comes back to life...

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::

XO Kelson says:
OPS: How's your station?

Host CO Royce says:
ASO:  And your interpretation of the meaning?

OPS Chaser says:
:: Feels very uncomfortable with the XO so close to her ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Jumps slightly as her station lights up again ::

XO Kelson says:
FCO: And yours Commander?

OPS Chaser says:
XO: No pr-roblems here Sir-r:

ASO Lane says:
CO: Unknown Captain.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   XO:  What do you make of the Omega symbol?

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  A huge Ion surge is detected nearby...

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

FCO Horn says:
XO: Being the last letter of the Greek alphabet, all I could say it does not sound good

CMO Delar says:
Self: If I could modify the targeted zones in the genetic material...   :: Brings up a display on the current Starfleet inoculations for radiation infection ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   XO:  Not a good feeling, Commander...not a good feeling.

XO Kelson says:
CO: I am not familiar with any current group using the symbol.  Only that it has been used to represent THE END in some cases.

ASO Lane says:
:: Stares at the readings ::   XO: Sir, I have a huge ion surge on sensors.

Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The IKS QIb decloaks of the starboard beam...

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Can you isolate it?

FCO Horn says:
XO/CO: Ship decloaking

OPS Chaser says:
:: Put the ship on screen ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Keeps an eye on the power conversions tweaking them to keep the warp drive at maximum. ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Looks to the screen ::

ASO Lane says:
XO: Off our starboard sir.  She just decloaked.

Host CO Royce says:
ASO/FCO:  Can you identify her?

ASO Lane says:
CO: Checking her signature now ma'am.

FCO Horn says:
CO: Looks like a Klingon ship

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  The QIb closes distance...

XO Kelson says:
CO: Any reason why a Klingon vessel is out here, Captain?

ASO Lane says:
CO: Ma'am, it's the IKS QIb Captain

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::  FCO:  Thank you, Commander.

CMO Delar says:
:: Oblivious to the nearby Klingon vessel, he continues on with his brainstorming and research ::

FCO Horn says:
CO/XO: Ship closing in. Take evasive action?

OPS Chaser says:
CO: R-red alert?:

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Same reason, as we are, Commander....

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  Open a channel

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  No

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves back to XO station ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Opens a channel as ordered and nods to the CO. ::

ASO Lane says:
CO: Captain, she's on loan to Starfleet, so I guess her to be friendly.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Stands at yellow alert per orders ::

FCO Horn says:
:: Seeing no danger to the ship, she keeps course until ordered differently ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: QIb:  This is Captain Royce of the USS Vesuvius.  Do you have anything to report?

CIV Galen says:
:: Works around in Main Engineering keeping things functional ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  The face of Captain Konroth fills the view screen with a sneering scowl...

XO Kelson says:
ASO: We'll hold you to that "guess" Lt.   :: Smiles ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Stands and moves towards the screen ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Smiles at Sam knowingly ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Monitors the QIb closely, plots phaser targeting just in case but does not activate. ::

CMO Delar says:
:: He taps his combadge and closes down his computer ::   *OPS*: Delar to Chaser...

XO Kelson says:
:: Takes strong stance in front of XO chair ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
COMM:  Vesuvius:  CO:  You Federation people.  Do you not know what is ahead?  Glory for our Empire and her allies.

OPS Chaser says:
*CMO*: Aye Doctor-r?

FCO Horn says:
Self: Just a bunch of swirling gas, that’s what up ahead.

ASO Lane says:
:: Notices a gray hair on the back of Sam's head as he stands there ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Konroth:  I only know that we are to report here.  Have you anything to report?

CMO Delar says:
*OPS*: Ensign Chaser...with the possibility of a possible medical situation aboard the U.S.S. Vesuvius, I thought it appropriate to inform you that all medical labs are being shut down temporarily and request that the remaining available power be transferred to sickbay.

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM: CO: Have you not heard of the prophecy of the blood of the Gods Captain?

XO Kelson says:
:: Raises eyebrows at Klingon comment ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Taps a few keys on her console ::   *CMO* Aye Sir-r  done  Sir-r, Chaser-r out.

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Konroth:  I am not privy to all Klingon lore.

XO Kelson says:
Self: Not another Klingon legend...

ASO Lane says:
:: Turns back to her console and continues monitoring ::

CMO Delar says:
*OPS*: Thank you Ensign...   :: Continues on with his work and watches as a pair of medical relief officers exit sickbay for duty assignments ::

XO Kelson says:
Self: And why is "blood" involved in most Klingon lore?

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM:  CO:  Your First Officer is a skeptic I see.  Why my government loans you our technology I will never understand.  It only goes to waste.  Captain, I am here to enlist your aid to recapture the "Blood of the Gods" in the Madtion Nebula.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Looks at the Klingon Captain and thinks GoRch,yIntagh. ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM:  Konroth:  How can the Vesuvius be of assistance?

ASO Lane says:
:: Looks up at the "Blood of the Gods" comment ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Works with the engineering staff to keep things running ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM: CO:  That blood was split by Kahless centuries ago, and it was prophesied that it would resurface and vault the Klingon people into the position as the rightful rulers of the Galaxy.

CMO Delar says:
:: Sighs and looks around sickbay. He looks down at his PADD and checks their status once more ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
COMM: CO: Glory awaits us, Captain!

Host CO Royce says:
:: Raises an eyebrow at hearing this... ::

FCO Horn says:
Self: Oh great, another I am better than everyone else prophecy

OPS Chaser says:
:: Salutes Kahless and says Yan-Isleth ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Whispers ::   CO: Is this part of our orders, Ma'am?

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Konroth:  And just how are the Vesuvius and the Federation involved in this?

CIV Galen says:
:: Leaves an ensign in charge of main engineering and heads to the bridge to monitor things there ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Is still curious about that Terran sketching known as a "Greek letter," but tries to put the thought of his mind temporarily ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM: CO:  As allies of the Klingon Empire, you share in her glories, Captain.  Come now, does your blood not burn for the battle and the adventure?

Host CO Royce says:
:: Motions to the XO a slight shrug ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Hits the nearest Turbolift ::   Turbolift: bridge

ASO Lane says:
:: Watches the screen and thinks to herself that man has to be off his rocker ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gets up from her station and walks behind the CO, and whispers ::
Captain: Wher-re is Captain Tur-rner-r?

FCO Horn says:
Self: A battle, no they are talking

XO Kelson says:
COMM: Konroth: Is this "Blood" located in the Madtion Nebula?

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Konroth:  My blood burns with the oath I've given to the United Federation of Planets.  My allegiance lies with her.  As far as battle is concerned, battle is more than a fight.  Honor is more than the victor.

FCO Horn says:
:: Taps a few buttons and keeps the ship on course ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Whispers again ::   CO: This is not r-right Captain, this is not the CO of the QIb.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Growls low in the CO's ear and returns to her station ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Arrives at the bridge walks over to the engineering console ::
Computer: Transfer engineering control to this station

ASO Lane says:
:: Decides to run a check on this Captain ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods to the OPS ::

XO Kelson says:
:: Walks over to science ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM:  CO/XO:  Honestly, I don't know why I waste my time with Humans.  Captain, I need your help as an ally to make sure a very powerful substance does not fall into the wrong hands.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Whispers ::  OPS:  I am aware this is not the Captain of the QIb

ASO Lane says:
:: Brings up the Federation personnel data records ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Monitors the QIb meticulously, and tries to get a lock on Captain Turner. ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Taps a few buttons monitoring the status of all engineering systems ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Konroth:  I need more information of this 'substance' you mention.

XO Kelson says:
ASO: Anything out of the ordinary with their ship?

ASO Lane says:
:: Motions the Commander to come nearer ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Continues on with his work, and gets a report of an ill officer on Deck 14. He sends Doctor Farmer to do a house-call and check on the officer ::

CIV Galen says:
:: Nodding to self ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Turns back around, makes a cut sign to the Ensign to silence communications so her words cannot be heard by the Klingon ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Locates Captain Turner in the brig of the QIb and gets up from her station again to stand behind the CO and whisper to her::   CO: Captain Tur-rner is in the br-rig

OPS Chaser says:
:: Returns to her station and cuts the comm. ::

Host CO Royce says:
ALL:  I don't trust him.  OPS just advised the CO of the QIb is in the Brig.  Thoughts, quickly.

XO Kelson says:
:: Moves closer to see readings ::   ASO: What you have?

CIV Galen says:
CO: Could we transport?

ASO Lane says:
:: Whispers ::   XO: Well so far Starfleet records show that he is not the Captain of the Klingon ship.  It's a Captain Charles Turner.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::   ASO:  Right, I know Turner.  No records of a change in command?

XO Kelson says:
CO: He's not the Captain; that is for sure.

XO Kelson says:
CO: Perhaps we should send a boarding party to check out the ship?

ASO Lane says:
CO: No Captain, the records show Captain Turner as still in command.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Growls low in her throat, and says ::   CO:  GoRch yIntagh HoD'Iw:

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Can't if shields are up.

Host CO Royce says:
:: Nods ::  ALL:  Okay.   OPS:  Open comm.

XO Kelson says:
OPS: Speak English on the bridge, Ensign!  Captain's orders.
:: Stares at Chaser ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Aye Captain, channel open.

FCO Horn says:
CO: If that ship has been commandeered, I suggest we disable it and re-take the ship.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Jumps to attention ::   CO: Aye Captain, sor-r-y Captain.

CMO Delar says:
:: Checks on Aola's status of the comm. and gets a report from Farmer of the ill officer's status ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Honroth:  I await the information on this 'substance', Commander.

ASO Lane says:
:: Bristles as Sam barks at Chaser ::   Self: What a man!

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Honroth:  What information can you give me?

CIV Galen says:
:: Spins back to the engineering console to work again ::

Host CO Royce says:
:: Whispers ::  XO: Target their engines.  We may have to disable her.

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM: CO:  Nothing more than you have.  But I believe the prophecies, and I want my part of the glory.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods and moves to Tactical ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Konroth:  Where is Captain Turner?

ASO Lane says:
:: Wonders if the XO of the QIb is there so checks the records to see who it is ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM:  CO:  Captain Turner has been...relieved of command.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Gives XO tactical control ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: Konroth:  And how has that come to be?  What has he done?

FCO Horn says:
:: Hearing the Captain has been relieved, prepares evasive maneuvers ::

ASO Lane says:
:: Frowns as the records come up ::   Self: Let's see....Commander Friday....Ron Friday.

Host Captain Konroth says:
COMM:  CO:  He resisted arrest of legitimate Klingon representatives.  Of course we cannot discuss matters before the Klingon Justice committee.

XO Kelson says:
:: Brings targeting sensors online ::

ASO Lane says:
XO: Commander additional data being relayed to your console.

XO Kelson says:
:: Nods to ASO ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM: CO:  Why are you targeting my Vessel, Federation?  :: Growls ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Plots transporter coordinates for Captain Turner and prepares to beam him out if needed. ::

Host CO Royce says:
COMM: CO: I do not believe you, Commander.  I know Captain Turner.  He would not disobey orders.

ASO Lane says:
:: Sends the personnel data on the XO to Sam ::

XO Kelson says:
:: QIb targeted ::

CIV Galen says:
::: Walks over to the OPS, whispers ::   OPS: What about dropping the holodecks to give the commander more power for weapons?

Host Captain Konroth says:
@COMM: CO: Federation P'Tak!  You will pay for that!

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  the QIb powers all weapons and turns into the Vesuvius Starboard shields and cuts loose all guns...

FCO Horn says:
:: Takes evasive action ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Fire!

XO Kelson says:

CO: Firing phaser’s, Captain!

CIV Galen says:
OPS: Wasn't sure…   :: Runs back up to Engineering station ::

QIb XO Friday says:
@:: Feels the ship rock and gets to his feet ::   Anyone: Now what's going on!?

XO Kelson says:
CO: And full spread of torpedo’s!

FCO Horn says:
:: Brings ship around to best firing position ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Growls at the CIV and turns her attention to the fight ::

Host CO Royce says:
ALL:  Red Alert

CMO Delar says:
:: Notices immediately as the ship goes to Red alert ::   Med Personnel: You all know what that means ladies and gentlemen...get to work.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Disable her weapons and her engines...she is still a part of the Federation

XO Kelson says:
CIV: I need all available power to shields and weapons, NOW!

ASO Lane says:
:: Looks in horror at the screen ::

OPS Chaser says:
CO: Shields holding but just bar-rely Captain.

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  The Vesuvius is rocked under the withering fire of the Vor'Cha class cruiser...

OPS Chaser says:
:: Routes power to shields ::

QIb SO Lorenzo says:
@:: Slowly opens her eyes and tries to focus ::

Host CO Royce says:
OPS:  More power to the shields

XO Kelson says:
CO: Already targeted, Ma'am!

QIb XO Friday says:
@:: Looks out from the inside of his cell, then at his crew ::   QIb SO: Julia...any suggestions?

CIV Galen says:
XO: You, have it!   :: Taps a few buttons rerouting what power he can ::

FCO Horn says:
:: After the ship has fired, swings the ship around for another pass ::

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Make them count, Commander!

XO Kelson says:
:: Targets engines for torpedo’s ::

QIb SO Lorenzo says:
@:: Pushes Walker's foot out of her face ::   QIb XO: How many of us are awake Sir?

CMO Delar says:
*XO*: Status Commander?

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  Commander Kelson's targeting is right on the money, and a chain reaction tears through the disruptor array...

FCO Horn says:
CO: Suggest re-routing power to dampers and shields, Ma'am.

OPS Chaser says:
:: Realigns the power distribution and increases shields to maximum. ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Make it so.

QIb XO Friday says:
@:: Ship rocks even more ::   QIb SO/CEO: Now would be a great time to make a move, if this stupid force field wasn't here.   :: Kicks it ::   Suggestions?

XO Kelson says:
CO: Yes Ma'am!

FCO Horn says:
:: Once the Vesuvius has fired, makes an unexpected turn to Starboard and brings the ship around, ready for another pass ::

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  The QIb fires a full spread of torpedoes and the Vesuvius is rocked hard.  Starboard shields collapse at generators 4 and 7.

ASO Lane says:
:: Watches Sam as he works the tactical station like a seasoned tactical officer ::

XO Kelson says:
*CMO*: We are under attack, Doctor!  Be ready for casualties!

@:: Checks her pockets ::   QIb XO/CEO: Do we have anything useful?

XO Kelson says:
CIV: I need more power to shields, Mr. Galen!

QIb XO Friday says:
@:: Hmm ::   Computer: Computer this is Commander Ron Friday. Lower this force field!

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  EPS Conduits on the Vesuvius on Deck 24 burst and start a fire...

CMO Delar says:
*XO*: Understood, teams are in location and prepared for combat.   :: Rocks again and holds onto the bio bed. He crosses sickbay and preps his own equipment ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Attempts to reinitialize the shield generators. ::

Host CO Royce says:
FCO:  Shield that side...evasive maneuvers, Commander!

FCO Horn says:
:: Notices the shields failing, maneuvers the ship so the starboard shields are away from the attacking ship ::

ASO Lane says:

Host Captain Konroth says:
ACTION:  The XO scores a lucky hit and the Engines on the QIb go offline...

QIb XO Friday says:
@:: Gets a phaser from the handy dandy phaser holder and exits the brig ::

OPS Chaser says:
:: Attempts to compensate shields with generators 5 and 8. ::

CMO Delar says:
:: Tries to brace himself as inertial dampers begin to compensate for the rough ride ::

FCO Horn says:
CO: We evacuate the evens decks, and shut down power to those decks, we could re-route the power to shields and weapons.

Host CO Royce says:
XO:  Assemble your team

QIb SO Lorenzo says:
@:: Picks up a phaser from just outside the brig and follows her XO ::

QIb CEO Q’tor says:
@QIb SO: The P’Tak have even taken my daq'tagh!   :: Checks in his boot and finds his small blade ::   But I do have this!

XO Kelson says:
CO: Klingon engines are offline, Captain.

ASO Lane says:
