Host FM_Selan says:
What was it you hoped we would learn? Whatever it was, please know that you 
failed. Did you want us to respect your cause? You just damned your cause. 
Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve. Did you want to 
tear us apart? You just brought us together.... So I ask again: What was it 
you hoped to teach us?

Host FM_Selan says:
It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know 
the depths of your hatred. If that's the case, consider the message 
received. And take this message in exchange: You don't know my people. You 
don't know what we're capable of. You don't know what you just started.

Host FM_Selan says:
But you're about to learn. - Leonard Pitts, Jr., 12 Sep 2001

::In the conference room, sizing up the people around him::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Waits in the Conference Lounge while the Prism officers arrive::

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::already seated waiting not so patiently::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::in the conference room::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::adjusting her hair into a ponytail as she exits the turbolift, making her way to the assigned Conference Lounge::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Just finished briefing the team on their mission to Luna Negra, the infiltration of the outpost and the recovery of Doctor Jason Tirrick::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ALL: Do any of you have any questions?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Glances at the those already there and memorizes faces and names::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::enters room, allowing a quick head nod to the brass as she quietly makes her way over to an empty seat::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::turns around, looks at the Admiral somewhat pained... still trying to grasp everything::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
:slips into a chair inconspicuously::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
Wolfe: Admiral...  Is use of deadly force is authorized for the recovery?

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CE: Ms. Siwiak, I trust you were listening to the briefing en route?

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::controls a not-so-noticeable shaking in her hand as she puts down her PADD::  Wolfe:  Yes Admiral, I most certainly did...

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
AS: Not unless it is needed.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ALL: Which we are not sure it is ... just yet.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
Wolfe: How will we get to Luna Negra?  Will the Olympus be transporting us?

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::blasted restrictions..  oh well, good thing I've got plenty of non-lethal weapons to employ::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CO: We are en route as we speak.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
Admiral: Sir... What are the odds that we'll encounter such deadly force?

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
SO: It depends on who Dr. Tirrick has associated himself with ...

IO_LT_Slek says:
Admiral: Please defined needed in relation to deadly force Sir

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::is starting to pick up the gist of it from the questions being asked::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::quietly observes the other team members in the room, opting not to speak unless addressed::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
Admiral: So we're not even sure who we're going up against?  ::Clears throat::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
LO: There have been theories ... some with more evidence than others.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Raises hand::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::thinking about the subculture of Luna Negra::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CP: Yes, Ms. Ryerson?

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
LO: We're PRISM..  The fact they don't have an exact idea on who we're facing is likely why they are sending us to handle this task.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
Admiral: Sir, what type of transport craft have you arranged for our usage on this mission?

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::sits down at the table, grabs a PADD::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::assumes they will be going in under cover::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Looks at the AS, and let's out a small laugh::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::fiddles with PADD, flipping it around between her two hands as the others speak, knowing the right questions to ask::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CP: Once you have all changed into your undercover garments, you will be utilizing a modified Orion Shuttle that is currently docked in our bay. From outward scans, it appears to be a run-down heap of metal ... it is definitely nowhere near that useless.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
Admiral: One last thing from me, sir. Is the installation we're talking about here aboveground, underground, what?

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::just waits for someone to issue some orders, wants to get started::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::ignores the laughing LO and listens to the Admiral::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::raises hand at the mention of the Shuttle::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
Admiral: I see, Sir.  Would it be possible for me to take a look at this craft?

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CP: The vessel is equipped with mini-torpedo launchers that hold approximately 500 Mark III Mini-torps for launch. It is as well equipped with three disruptor canons, to keep your cover up, and two phaser lance arrays.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Runs his hand across his gray, shaven hair::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
Admiral:  And Dr. Tirrick has expertise in what?

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CP: Yes, once the meeting is done.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::500?  and deadly force might not be authorized?  good grief::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
Wolfe: What will we be posing as sir?

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
Admiral: What is the maximum speed of this vessel?

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CP: The Orion craft's maximum speed is Warp 5.7.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
Admiral:  I trust that the vessel has been brought up to standard operational regulations... to the extent that it shouldn't be giving us any trouble when it comes to parts wearing out?

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Raises an eyebrow:: Admiral: Thank you, Sir.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
DCO: Warp & subspace theory.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::sighs at all the questions being fired at the Admiral and wonders what is so important about Dr. Tirrick that he needs rescuing by a Prism team::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
Admiral:  Thank you.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ACTION: Suddenly, the consoles in the room go black and are replaced by the Omega symbol.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ACTION: The ship drops out of warp.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Looks around:: Good lord.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::looks surprised::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::was about to ask his question again, then frowns::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
Admiral: What's that?

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::eyes the Admiral..  when they say Good lord, it's not a good thing::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::begins to stand from her chair, looking throughout the room::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Turns head and looks around::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::wonders what that symbol is.  It looks Greek to her::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Wonders why the ship dropped out of warp::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::walks over to a wall console::  All:  I... I can't do anything.  The system seems to be locked out...

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Maintains his composure for the moment:: ALL: At attention. Remain here ... ::Exits onto the bridge::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Notices the display on the wall with the odd looking symbol displayed on the screen::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Eyes the viewscreen suspiciously noting that no one else seems to have a clue... besides the Admiral::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::looks around the sees that most of the others look as baffled as she feels::

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::wonders: What now!, grumbles....::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::wonders what is going on and why the admiral is acting every ilogicaly::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::gets up from her chair and strolls over to a window::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ACTION: A moment later, the Omega symbol is replaced by the usual visages of the consoles onboard.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::prods wall console, trying to find out what's wrong::  CO:  Everything is nonresponsive... it just displays the an Omega symbol...

LO_LT_Bishop says:
CO:  Wonder what's going on?  Seems like the brass would want to get this show on the road...

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::still looking around::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Watches curiously as the display screen returns to normal again::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
All: Well... This is fun. CE: What do you think would be so important as to lock out the whole ship?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
LO: Your guess is as good as mine Lieutenant.

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::rolls her eyes, thinks: some kind of malfunction that will delay our mission::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Enters into the Lounge again:: ALL: It seems we've had a change of plans ... something has come up, and we can no longer proceed to Luna Negra.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
SO:  I have no idea... everything I tried didn't seem to work.  The screen just... came back on.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::ponders the idea of trying to telepathically gain an answer from the Admiral..  then decides doing that to an Admiral would be a bad thing::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::mutter::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::retakes her seat::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::mumble:: So much for planning...

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Raises eyebrow again and waits for new orders::

IO_LT_Slek says:
Admiral: what is our new assignment?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
Wolfe: And our new orders sir?

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::sits up::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::moves over near the CO and Admiral, figuring a change in orders this sudden could mean they would be in danger::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Taps the button on her PADD deleting all the notes she made on the Luna Negra assignment::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::runs her index finger across the surface of the wall panel before slowly moving back towards her seat::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Stares them all down:: ALL: We will be proceeding to the Madtion / Leopold nebulae. That is all I can tell you for the time being ... please accompany me onto the bridge.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Turns and exits onto the bridge::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::has never heard of that particular nebulae.::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Taps the PADD making a note on their destination so she can look up the coordinates later::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Follows the Admiral, complaining under his breath::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Follows the Admiral onto the bridge::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
CO:  Does... this happen often?  ::shrugs shoulders as she follows the team out::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::figures the Admiral can fend for himself and places himself next to the CO, electing to be her "shadow" for awhile as he touches his phaser at his hip::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::follows the admiral::

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::follows everyone out to the bridge, echoing the sentiments of Lt Bishop::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::follows the group::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::quietly walks out::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Stands and exits the lounge::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
CE: Not that I know of Ensign.  ::Speaks to the CE, but also to all of the team:: But this is Prism, anything can happen.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::nods at the CO wise words::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Moves around to the Command Chair as the Helmsman calls out:: <Helmsman> Admiral: Course set for Madtion / Leopold nebulae.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CO: Do you know something we don't ma’am?  It's not like Wolfe to change plans suddenly...

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Nods, takes the Center Chair in contemplation::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
<Comm. Officer> Wolfe: Sir, we're getting an urgent distress call in ...

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::still completely confused at everything:: Anyone: What's a nebula got to do with warp theory?

IO_LT_Slek says:
::watches::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::walks up to the tactical railing, resting one hand on it as she looks at her teammates for guidance::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::finds an out-of-the-way place to stand, seeing as how diplomatic types are not generally welcome on starship bridges::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Looks over at the Comm. Officer:: Comm. Officer: Who's it from?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Looks at the nosy Commander:: AS: If I did, I wouldn't be able to tell you.  ::Gives him a neutral look::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
<Comm. Officer> ::Checks:: Admiral: The Luna sir.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CO: You wouldn't have to tell me..  ::returns the neutral look::  But you told me enough by not telling me.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Stands against the bulkhead watching the Bridge crew and waiting for orders::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Stands:: On screen.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Looks to the viewscreen::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::eyes the person manning the Tactical station and hopes he's worthy of the position::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::looks at the viewscreen::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ACTION: The fuzzy image of Counselor Luchena from the U.S.S. Luna appears on screen ... "ZTTT ... under attack ... ZTTT ... modified Runabouts ... ZTTT ... our own officers ... ZTTT ... the Storm ... ZTTT ... taking over! ... ZTTT"

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::turns to face the screen, attempting to look more seasoned like the other officers around her, but somewhat fails::

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::stands quietly and out of the way, watches the viewscreen::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::hears the name Storm....and thinks...i thought they where all dead::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Takes in a breath as the comm. cuts::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::Storm?  Once again we face them..  Gaze hardens and he eyes the Admiral::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::shakes her head sadly::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
Comm. Officer: Last known position of the Luna?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Straightens as the message ends::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::face blanches:: Storm...

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Looks at the viewscreen, then around the room::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
All:  Storm... I remember reading about them at the Academy...  ::trails off::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
<Comm. Officer> Wolfe: Brotolean Star System, sir. They were dropping off colonist families.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::shoots an odd glance at the CE::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CE: Ensign, whatever you read..  it didn't do them justice I'm sure

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::smiles to herself menacingly::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::recalls the Luna as a Nebula class ship::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Looks over to the CE, thinking about how green he is::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
<Comm. Officer> ::Looks at console:: Wolfe: Sir, I'm getting reports from the U.S.S. Valkyre and U.S.S. Valhalla, both Defiant Class, that they have the Luna on sensors and have as well received the distress call. Sir ... the Luna's en route to the Madtion Nebula too.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::Storm..  eyes the bridge crew and wonders::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::allows eyes to level out on the AS::  AS:  My plasma mechanics professor was associated with them... so I wouldn't say that they're foreign to me.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::recalls The Storm as a bunch of fanatics but can't remember what their issues were::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Thinks to himself, If he lives, he won't be green for very long::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Grits teeth as he realizes what is going on ... what the attempted assassination on him, Crenshaw and Hanwright was about. All of it::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CE: Good..  then you should know better than most the degree of what they are capable of accomplishing

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ALL: Red Alert, battle stations. Olympus Senior Staff: You are dismissed. PRISM Team Sojourn: Take appropriate positions, I'm sure you know what to do ...

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::notices a stare from the LO, and meets it with a raised eyebrow::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::blinks::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
Wolfe: Something wrong Admiral?  ::Noticing his grinding of teeth::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Quickly moves to the helm station and relieves the helm officer.  Sits down and checks the helm status, nav controls and course::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
Admiral: Yes sir..  ::moves the Tactical officer with a glare and quickly reconfigures the console to his preferences::  Admiral: Commander Sade, at Tactical, ready for action Admiral.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::doesn't miss a beat, after he breathes for a moment... walks briskly to the tactical horseshoe::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::finds an out-of-the-way console and brings up the records on The Storm to refresh her memory::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::finds the AS to be somewhat... cocky, and makes an attempt to find a different place to stand::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CP: Engage course for intercept of the Luna.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Moves quickly over to the OPS console and sits::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
Admiral: Sir, helm station ready at your command.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::looks at the AS with a quirky raise of the eyebrow::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::Moves to the XO chair and logs into computer and runs query on the Storm::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
LO: Hail the Valkyre and Valhalla and let them know we're on our way.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::finds her way over to the engineering station, finally finding it easy now that she's in a familiar realm::

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::exits the bridge for sickbay::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Hails the 2 ships as per the Admirals order::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CO: I suggest you start thinking of boarding plans, Commander. There's a chance we'll have to take the Luna back by force.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::starts tapping, checking weapons inventories, etc::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  The Luna is Nebula class, if that helps.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::finds all systems to be running smoothly, as they should be on such a fine vessel::

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
::enters sickbay::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::begins hacking into the so called secure SF Intel computers and begins getting some data::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::reads that The Storm is not opposed to violence to achieve their objectives, like most other fanatical groups::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Brings up the ships Weapons inventories, as well as medical and any needed "special" ordnance to review it::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
Admiral: Intercept course laid in and engaging warp engines.  ::Taps the helm console::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::realizes that reasoning with them is unlikely to be successful::

IO_LT_Slek says:
Admiral: Sir, According to these SF Intel reports, Mr. David Thorn is alive

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ACTION: The Olympus warps to intercept the captured Luna.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
IO: Yes ... he is. ::Takes a breath::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Thinks: Well, it's been awhile since I piloted one of these "babies" and grins to herself::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
CO/Admiral:  I suggest first trying to use the ship's command codes to take control of the vessel... if not, we can always try tachyon bursts into the shields.

Med_Ens_Krynne says:
Head Nurse: Are the emergency medical trays prepared?

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
TIME LAPSE: The Olympus joins up with the Valkyre and Valhalla as they move to intercept the approaching Luna.

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::looks around satisfied that all is in readiness in sickbay::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
Admiral: We are arriving at the coordinates, Sir.  One minute to intercept.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: I believe this console is yours..  I've got security teams to get ready..  ::moves farther back and out of the way::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
Self:  She doesn't stand a chance... why doesn't the Luna just run?

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
CO: Permission to begin planning a boarding raid, sir?

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
CO: Perhaps you and the AS should start planning a boarding party?

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Reroutes power to Defensive systems per Standard Protocol::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
SO: By all means, go ahead.  ::Has the Nebula class specs pulled up on the console::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
AS: Commander, if you would lend us a hand?

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CO: Certainly..  ::moves over to the CO, having checked the status of security teams and noted the readiness of them::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
AS:  I'm sure they'd be expecting us to take back the bridge... I think we're better off taking back main engineering first, locking down the rest of the ship from there.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::listens to the discussion::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Notes they have arrived at the coordinates:: Admiral: Dropping out of warp, Sir.

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::gathers up equipment for a "well stocked" med kit, in case there is a need to go mobile::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CE: If this is Storm we're taking the ship back from, they will have both well guarded.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ACTION: The trio of loyal ships drop out of warp ... suddenly, the Luna drops out before them. Never before has it looked so menacing.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Taps the console dropping to 1/4 impulse::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::turns around from the engineering station and walks up to the tactical railing, once again looking at the viewscreen::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
*Sickbay* Ms. Krynne, get ready for casualties.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
CO: Receiving a Hail from the Luna.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::shakes head:: CO/AS: No... We might have marginally better luck to beam into opposite feeding Jeffries Tubes near the main engineering computer core. Knock out, or reroute, internal sensors. Then take ME.

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
*ADM* Aye Sir.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::has friends aboard that ship.  Wonders if they are still alive::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
*ADM* Sickbay is in readiness.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
AS/SO: First let's decide how we get on the ship, gentlemen.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Sees the three ships on the navigational screen::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Reluctant to do this, but there are other matters to be tended to:: CO: I'm going to have to get in contact with Command and Intel. You have the bridge.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::finally feels like she's catching up to the pace of this mission::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: All stop, Sir?

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::drops jaw::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
Wolfe: Aye sir.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Nods ... moving to inform Command of the Storm's intentions::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
LO: On screen Lieutenant.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Puts it on screen::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
CP: Yes, all stop.  ::Turns to the viewscreen and waits::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: Attacking from 2 directions is a wise move..  they can only aim one way at a time.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::looks at the viewscreen::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
AS: Looks like it's just you and me... They'll have shields up, so transporters are out for the moment. Unless you want me to coordinate with the other ships a coordinated point-pierce of the shields?

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Flies around in circles at 1/4 impulse because the CO has not ordered her to "all stop"::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::gathers the other med staff and has them wait at different bio beds, organizes a team for triage::

Host General_Trebor says:
@ ::The human male dressed in a black leather uniform which bears a Starfleet insignia [only with a red box behind it instead of the golden bars] sits in the Command Chair of the Luna. Other Storm personnel are seen in the background::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Looks up at the viewscreen::

Host General_Trebor says:
@ COM: Olympus: Well, this is a pleasant surprise ... I was expecting Admiral Wolfe, not a lowly Commander ..

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::is shocked by the sight, but doesn't show it::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: No matter how we do it, they're going to know we're coming..  What about using a shuttle as a fake, to make them thing we're going in by shuttle, then coordinate the assault to drop shields and transport over?

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
AS: I was starting to think of that myself.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::stands up and steps forward, facing the screen::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Notices the odd looking uniform the General is wearing and the strange Bridge personnel aboard the Luna::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
COM: Luna: Would you say something different to Wolfe then you would me?  ::Fights to control her temper::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::walks over to the AS and SO, finding a pause in the conversation to step in::  AS/SO:  Sirs, why not make them drop their shields, or at least remodulate.  A few tachyon bursts would do that, or we give them some sort of target that would make them take the risk of dropping their shields to beam aboard.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::moves closer to the CO mentally urging her to remain calm::

Host General_Trebor says:
@ ::Smiles:: COM: Olympus: Probably not. Let's cut to the quick ... you know where we're going, and chances are, some of you know what we're up to. And you & your starship lackeys are here to stop us.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Scans the bridge behind the General on the viewscreen::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: One major problem..  that IS a Nebula class starship..  we'd have to drop shields to transport, is that a risk we can afford to take?

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
AS/SO:  I'm sure they wouldn't mind taking another ship for their cause... rather then destroying it.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::wonders where they are going and what they are up to::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
AS: We can selectively lower only one of our shield emitters near the transport emitter.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::suddenly feels a bit uneasy when she doesn't receive a response from the AS or SO::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CE/SO: Good point..  Is this something we can use to our advantage?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
COM: Luna: That's in the job description, yes.  What have you done with the Luna's crew?

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Is tried of flying in circles and drops to thrusters only::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::watches the man on screen intently::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::attempts to gather information on this Trebor character and the folks he associates with::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::scratching face:: CE/AS: I don't know... Tachyon bursts would give away we're trying to drop their shields for transport only. A concerted assault can mask that, along with the shuttle.

Host General_Trebor says:
@ COM: Olympus: What if I said we dumped them and every other Starfleet officer onboard out the airlock ... would it really matter? You're going to attack anyway. I say we get down to it. ::Smile::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::suspects he is lying::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::sends a message to the CE and AS to remotely access the Luna's command codes and order the ship's computer to drop the shields::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::"get down to it," eh Mr. Storm?  guess I make you eat those words when we take back our ship::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
AS/SO:  Well, I'm sure we're about to go into battle... if we take on damage, we could play our cards right and open up an area tempting to beam into, like main engineering here, aboard the Olympus.  We'd have security waiting for them there, and meanwhile, we beam onto their ship.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Thinks, yeah it would matter.  It would make our job a lot easier::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::gets a beeping message... points the CE to it:: CE: Have fun.

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: And with that, the comm. is cut, and the Luna opens fire on the Olympus. The ship rocks.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CE: The big danger in that if Wolfe might not have cleaned this ship of Storm loyalists..  That could be dangerous

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::offers the SO a grin, then heads back to her console and looks up the Luna's command codes::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::grabs onto a railing to keep from falling::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Engages engines and prepares for evasive maneuvers::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::braces himself against the tactical horseshoe while staying out of the SOs way to return fire::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::finds a shrink profile from SF Intel and shoots it over to the CO panel....data indicates Mr. Trebor is highly egotistical and extremely motivated,  Enjoys putting down Starfleet personal::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::grabs onto a biobed, Thinks: and so it begins.....::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Rocks in her seat from the impact::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
CP: Evasive maneuvers!

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
CO:  I'm trying to use the Luna's command codes and drop her shields... but I think they're smart enough to change those codes.  ::sends message to Luna's computer::

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The two Defiants let loose a brutal barrage on the Luna, slamming it’s shields.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Shakes slightly with the blast, then reroutes additional power to shields::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: Aye, Sir!  ::Engages evasive maneuvers::

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Olympus evades a barrage of three torps from the Luna.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::slams fist on console::  CO:  Ma'am, they've changed the codes... it was a good try though.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::rocks, starts walking over::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
AS/CE: I say we go with the decoy plan.

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: Suddenly, as the Olympus comes about ... thirty-five modified Runabouts decloak around them and start firing at key points of their shields, trying to weaken them.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
AS: Bringing us about!  ::Taps the helm console turning the Olympus::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::checks for more data and discovers before joining the storm Mr. Trebor was a Freelance Smuggler, first storm connection was a year ago when he was part of the group that took over the USS Quirinus...sends this data to the co as well::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::eyes go wide as sensors pick up several ships::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: If we're going it, we better do it..  fast..  ::eyes the viewscreen and mumbles some Betazoid profanity::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
Hello... ::looks at screen::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Shouts:: All: Initiating evasive maneuver Beta 1-0-9!

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
AS/CE:  I don't think we'll be needing any help faking our shields going out...

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
Self: Modified runabouts... ::Recalling the broken message from the Luna's CNS::

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Olympus rocks brutally from the combined assault of the Storm runabouts and the Luna's attack.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
CE: Yup.

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Valhalla attempts to let some steam off the Olympus, and opens fire on the Runabouts.

IO_LT_Slek says:
::Notices the runabouts and query’s the computer for information relating to the storm runabouts::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::walks over to the bridge arms locker and opens it with his code, extracts weapons and begins laying extra phasers by the PRISM team, keeping a rifle for himself and the SO::

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: Twenty Runabouts break off the Olympus, and maneuver to deal with the Defiants. The Luna tries to break through and make a run for the Madtion / Leopold nebulae.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
CO: You probably ought to take out these shuttles.  They aren't likely to have any good guys on board them.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
CO: Sir, we have a plan in progress. I'll have to contact the Valkyre though.

IO_LT_Slek says:
::notes that there appears to be a weakness in the lower shielding area of the runabouts::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::loses her balance as the deck rocks, her head finding the edge of her console::

IO_LT_Slek says:
AS: Target the lower shields area of the runabout.

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::breaks out the weapons in the weapons locker for the med staff:: All: Looks like we might get boarded, best to be prepared. ::smiles menacingly again::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: Sir, the Luna is making a run for it!  Pursuit course?  ::Watches the nav console::

IO_LT_Slek says:
AS: that where they are most vulnerable

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Luna leaps into warp.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
CP: Follow them!  Don't let them get out of our sensor range.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Watches as the Luna jumps to warp::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::drops jaw:: Okay... Lesse...

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::places the palm of her hand against the left side of her forehead, using her free hand to regulate power flow::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::aims and fires at the lower shielding of the Luna with full phasers, just missing as the Luna leaps to warp::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: Aye, Sir!  ::Brings the ship about and jumps to warp following the Luna::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
CO: The other 2 ships say they can handle the runabouts...  we're free to pursue.

IO_LT_Slek says:
::query’s the computer for any suspect storm bases in the area::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::stumbles over to the AS:: AS: Okay we're at warp. That means the shields have to be modulated to the warp field. We can do a standard warp-to-warp transport in this case.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
CE: Will we have enough power to catch up to them?

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::feels the ship go to warp, antennae stand straight up in alarm:: Self: What the -- ?

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::wonders if this has anything to do with that strange symbol that appeared on all their consoles earlier::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: Probably as good a time as any..  I don't think they would be expecting us to retake the ship from warp

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Olympus leaps after the Luna ... beginning to catch up on the vessel. Apparently, the Luna is using much of their power for something else ...

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: We will need to engage at maximum warp if we want to catch them.

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
*bridge* What is going on up there?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Looks over to the SO and AS:: SO/AS: Have you come up with anything?

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::feels a little bit of warm blood collecting in her hand, but still keeps to her self::  CO:  Aye, ma'am... we took a beating, but shields held.

IO_LT_Slek says:
::gets the results and release how illogical that data is as he query’s for weakness on the luna::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
*CM*  We are pursuing the Luna.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
CO: We have, sir. Permission to form a boarding party?

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: We're gaining on them, Sir!  ::Watches the nav screen closely::

IO_LT_Slek says:
AS: Data indicates the best place to target the Luna is under their sensor pod..

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::why are we gaining on them so quickly::  CE: Ensign, any idea why we're gaining on the Luna so quickly?

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
*DCO* Excellent. Please keep me informed so I can know what kind of injuries to expect down here.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
*CM*:  Will do.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
AS:  It would seem that they're using a lot of their warp power on... something else.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
SO: Yes, I want all of us on the party. ::Looks around at the Prism team::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CE: Knowing what they "something else" is would be useful...

IO_LT_Slek says:
::Query’s the computer on the Luna’s current assignment::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
All: Well, whatever it is they're using their power for, it's slowing them down considerably.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::blinks:: CO: Sir? *ALL* of us?

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
AS:  What it is, I have no idea at this time...  I've allocated additional power to jacket the phaser beams, you should be able to get off some blasts while we're still at warp.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Calls the Olympus senior staff back to the bridge::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::nods and mentally prepares herself::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CO: Ma’am, we're within weapons range..  Shall I fire on the Luna?

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: Olympus senior staff arrives on the bridge as per request.

LO_LT_Bishop says:
CO: I have a few phaser rifles waiting for us... also some micro charges to get us through the locked doors.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: We are within weapons range, Sir.  ::Slows the ship down a bit as to not run over them::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::thinks:: AS: If you're going to fire, pinpoint the core area like we talked about

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::finally takes her hand away from her head, noticing the gash on her forehead has stopped bleeding::

IO_LT_Slek says:
All: computer indicates the Luna last mission was to deliver colonist to a federation science outpost::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: Matching course and speed, Sir.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: Aye..  Are we going to transport directly from the bridge?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
All:  We are going to board the Luna and take it back into our hands.  Commander Hamilton will inform us of his idea.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
IO:  Yes, but did they manage to get those colonist to their destination, or were the colonist apart of the Storm group?

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Has the weapons prepared then steps aside for the Starship OPS to replace him at this station::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
CO:  Did you want our CM along?

IO_LT_Slek says:
CE: unknown

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::turns tactical over to the senior tactical officer normally assigned to the Olympus, after leaving specific firing directions and joins the SO::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Motions for a relief helmsman to stand by to take over::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
*CM*:  The Prism team is planning to board the Luna.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
::Nods:: DCO: Yes... would you have her report to the bridge?

LO_LT_Bishop says:
*CM*:  We're going on a little hike.  Better get ready.

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Olympus senior staff takes the bridge ... the CTO returns fire as the Luna lets loose a few aft torpedoes.

IO_LT_Slek says:
::gathers up his gear and heads to the CO::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
*CM*:  Please report to the bridge on the double.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Stands and moves from the helm console::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
All: Everyone arm yourselves.  I need not tell you how dangerous the Storm can be.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::thinking, mentally writing out the insertion details::

Host General_Trebor says:
<Olympus CTO> CO: Your AS mentioned something about blasting the area under their sensor pod?

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
All: You should find additional phasers and batteries near each of you.  ::hands the SO his other phaser rifle::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
*DCO* Aye. ::grabs the med kit she just packed and puts the phaser and tricorder on her belt::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Takes the phaser rifles that just arrived and passes them out to the team::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::checks the charge his phaser rifle and phaser::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
CO:  Last I checked, we had a well-armed Orion Shuttle sitting in the bay... perhaps we could remotely have somebody pilot it and give the Luna another target?

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Olympus rocks at another Luna burst.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::accepts a phaser rifle with a nod at the LO::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::puts the normal CMO in charge of sickbay and leaves for the bridge, almost stumbling a the last rocking of the ship::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
Orion... Shuttle... ::rewrites something in his head::

Host General_Trebor says:
<Olympus CTO> ::Doesn't wait for response, lets loose with a full two barrages at the sensor pod of the Luna::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::slips on her backpack, making sure that the various engineering tools and spare battery packs are tucked in nicely::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::arrives on the bridge::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Picks up her gear from behind the helm chair and prepares for transport::

IO_LT_Slek says:
::checks the power charge on his portable computer::

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Luna is thrown out of warp from the impact, it's aft shields go down entirely.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::nods at the CM::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: Split assault?  Half of us attack from the shuttle while the other attacks ME?

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Olympus comes out of warp after it ..

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
All:  Now's our chance... ::points at the screen::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
AS: Not... Exactly...

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::nods at the DCO::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
SO: In that case, you better make up your mind quickly..

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Luna lists momentarily, trying to come back around to let loose with a torpedo barrage.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: Ready, here, Sir.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::looks up and sees that the Luna's shields are down::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
All: Okay, here's what's going on...

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::hefts the phaser rifle into the air, making sure its settings are correct::

Host General_Trebor says:
<Olympus OPS> CO: Ma'am, should I beam you over?

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
All: Their shields are down.  We're transporting over now into two teams.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
All: Luna has two main computer cores. Half the team will each go to each core, through opposing Jeffries Tubes.

IO_LT_Slek says:
::stows away the computer and grabs hold of the rifle::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Checks her hand phaser settings::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
::Looks over his equipment, giving it the "final" check::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
::arms his phaser rifle and backup weapons, setting all to heavy stun::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
All: Your objectives are internal sensors and other tracking systems, and the command systems. We'll work next and meet in Main Engineering, taking control from there.

Host General_Trebor says:
ACTION: The Olympus lances out with phaser bursts to keep the Storm occupied Luna busy while its PRISM inhabitants prepare their assault.

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Nods as she receives her orders::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::places hand phaser in right hand, tricorder in left::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::checks her weapons and prepares for the familiar tingling feeling of transport::

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
All: ME will be heavily guarded, so if you can, make some internal sensor ghosts in the computer core to mask your way.

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
::Had been listening from behind them:: ALL: We'll be watching from here ... good luck.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
All: Sade, Bishop, S'lek, Siwiak, and Verdi will be one team, everyone else with me.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
CO: Aye ma’am

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
CO: Aye, Sir.

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
SO:  I'll try to tap into an ODN junction once we get there.

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
OPS: Beam us over.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
All: Good luck all.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::stands next to the CO::

CP_LtCmdr_Ryerson says:
::Nods to the team::

LO_LT_Bishop says:
CO: Aye.  ::Takes his position with his team members::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
::notices she's being paired up with the AS, allows a slight frown to wash over her face::

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
My Team: Ensign Siwiak will handle ghosting us once we arrive...  the rest of us will give her cover

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::stands near her team::

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::nods at AS::

CE_Ens_Siwiak says:
AS:  Aye, Commander.

SO_LtCmdr_Hamilton says:
::closes eyes, breathes heavily for a moment, trying to clear head from the action::

CM_Ens_Krynne says:
::stands near her team, waits for the familiar beam feeling::

Host CO_Cmdr_Christian says:
All: Keep in contact if you can.  We'll rendezvous when we can.  Good luck people.

AS_Cmdr_Sade says:
My Team: Weapons to maximum stun...  I don't want to kill them, just get our ship back.

DCO_LtCmdr_Verdi says:
::glad she is on the same team as their only Betazoid::

Host Admiral_Wolfe says:
ACTION: The CO's team is beamed over first ... appearing next to a JT junction. The AS' team appears in a darkened corridor, standing between what seems to be a group of Luna officers and armed Storm personnel ...
