Deep Space 102 - 10811.14

The Game

"The whole shootin' match"

Host Gerry says:
Previously on Deep Space 102:

The Romulan ship opened fire, cutting out the stalling tactics of the crew on DS102. The Romulan ship, under Commander Tarek, had demanded the return of the "captives" and their stolen ship. After several minutes of fruitless banter back and forth, the ship opened fire on the station. The battle has been joined...

XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
All: Incoming!!!!! Brace for impact!!!!
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::braces for impact::
SC_Marek says:
::opens Wide Station Comm channel:: ALL: Brace for impact! Secure your Stations!
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::makes sure she' s braced for impact:::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::grabs the closest handle::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Weapons fire from the ship shakes the station as it is struck with glancing blows... shields hold, but personnell are shaken
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Twists to support his sister instinctively as the station shakes.::
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Damage Report!
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
COM: Scorpius: Captain Yo'Ghi to the Scorpius, open fire, target at your convenience
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::tumbles into R'aumo::
SC_Marek says:
XO: Fire at will!
SC_Marek says:
::grabs hold from his chair::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
Self: Oh boy... S'aumo: You ok?
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: sits at the engineering station ::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods and hugs him::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
TO: Open fire, all weapons, fire at will and at your discretion.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The uncloaked ship fires at multiple targets at once, striking two of the five ships, disabling the USS Liverpool.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Ops: Damage Report Lieutenant! Focus!!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
<TO>XO: All weapons firing, aye, Sir ::sends signal to all weapons stations to fire at will and discretion::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: Reports are still coming in. Shields are holding, weapons online. I'll have the exact percentages in a moment.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
S'aumo: Let's go find the Commander. Maybe we'll be more useful than expected...
SC_Marek says:
::jumps towards the Tactical Station and instructs the Tactical Officer on duty to send findings to the rest of the fleet::
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Acknowledged.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
R'aumo: Yeah I guess so.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::takes great offense to being accused of not paying attention:: ::She is doing the best that she can, but she will not report inaccurate data before she has the actual readings.::
SC_Marek says:
CO/XO: ::taps on an available console:: I'm adjusting fire to their warp core. Trying to match the necessary frequency to affect their singularity. ::pushes the red button::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: All reports are in. No serious damage. Shields are at 89 percent and holding.
SC_Marek says:
CO/OPS: Have every available power reroute to shield systems ASAP
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Watches his medical tricorder as he scans the SC::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: Yes, sir.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::rerouting power::
SC_Marek says:
::reads the incoming tactical sensor data:: All: Our firing didn't have any effect on the ships... Darn!... ::watches as the Tactical Officer resets the fire pattern and continues firing::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::sees the tension in the Lieutenant's face:: Ops: Are all the backups still spooled up? We need better than 89% or we'll not last long in this fight.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Leads the way to where he assumes the Commander is.::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: ::wants to kill him right now:: Yes, sir.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::as soon as the power is rerouted, she takes additional readings of the power core of the closest ship::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::senses Sojyngra's mood and keeps an eye on her::
SC_Marek says:
::sees the flickering crosshairs in the Tactical console and the multiple impact over the ships::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::follows her brother::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Makes his way through the people around him towards the nearest turbolift, checking to make sure his sister is still behind him.::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::grabs R'aumo's hand and gives him a small smile::
SC_Marek says:
CO/XO: Seems that our weapons have no detectable effect on the monstrous vessel.. Any suggestions??
SC_Marek says:
::monitors the shielding and the weaponry status::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::goes back to the power systems to look for anything else she can borrow from if things get worse::
SC_Marek says:
<TO> ::adjusts the phaser banks to maintain their efficiency::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The USS Liverpool limps into the cover of the station's shields for relative safety for the moment
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: We need that new Science Chief up here to get some readings off those ships..... She arrived to the station a bit ago.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::goes ahead and takes the replicators offline, and a few other minor systems, though some people might not be happy about it::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Enters the turbolift, pulling his sister with him.:: Computer: Level 8.
SC_Marek says:
::turns to the XO:: XO: New officer, new battles... Seems it is our curse... Have her come to Main Operations on the double.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::sends the data she has so far on the ships to the science station, so that the CSO will see it upon arrival, though the science officer will undoubtedly want to conduct additional scans::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
Ops: Lieutenant, when you get a chance, take a look at those energy readings on that ship and see if there's a weakness....
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: Here's what I have so far, Sir. I'm sending it to your station. ::sends him the same data as she sent to the science station, so far, just scans of the closest ship::
SC_Marek says:
COM: USS Liverpool: This is SC Marek. You have sustained noticeable damages. How long you estimated you can engage combat again?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::feels the growing tension like bee stings, wonders how long they'll be able to hold up::
SC_Marek says:
::sees the changes in the tactical readings:: All: I think we are getting somewhere. ::continues and increases the fire over the selected areas, and transmits the information to the vessels CO's::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::by now has forgotten all about her earlier anger at the XO, except to be glad that she had something ready before he spoke::
Host Gerry says:
<USS Liverpool> #COM: DS102: SC:  We are fine for now, Deep Space 102 ::crackles::  Damage control is recovering key systems...
SC_Marek says:
COM: Liverpool: Understood. Do your best. Marek out.
SC_Marek says:
CO: Please, have the Scorpius to concentrate photon torpedoes fire over this area of the two ships. ::sends the data to the CO's console::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::notes the information on the console and recalibrates weapons for greater effectiveness::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan Vessel remains undamaged, while two of five federation vessels are moderately damaged and one is disabled...
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::The turbolift doors open, displaying a number of excited people. Finds the SC and rushes in that direction.:: SC: Sir, Ensigns R'aumo and S'aumo reporting.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::looks up nervously at R'aumo::
SC_Marek says:
::notices the FCO and the CSO:: FCO/CSO: Welcome aboard! Please, take your stations; we'll have to leave formalities for later. ::raises an eyebrow and goes back to TAC console::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::continues monitoring her station while running everything she knows about quantum singularities through her head::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks to his sister.:: S'aumo: Ready?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Continue to record on his PADD::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Commander, we're throwing everything we've got at them and it's doing little good. I'm wondering if our little shuttle might provide a sucker punch?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::takes a deep breath to calm her nerves:: R'aumo: I think so.
SC_Marek says:
XO: Elaborate that, please.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
*CMO*: Rand to Turok, what is the situation down there Doctor?  Do you need extra hands?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: On Earth, they've got these pesky bugs, called mosquitoes, and they have been known to carry viruses that could kill a giant. I'm thinking, maybe we could send a mosquito to fell this giant?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Leaves Main Operations enroute to the infirmary::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
*CNS*: I am heading to the infirmary now.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Overhears the mention of a shuttle and perks his ears.::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::notes the CMO leaving Operations and follows him out:: CMO:  I'll walk with you.  
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: Very well, quite the situation we have here.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::notices that look in her brother's eye::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: This is interesting. The concentrated fire directed toward the Romulan warp core is draining their deflector power at an abnormally high rate.
SC_Marek says:
XO: A fascinating analogy, Commander. Frankly, we need a crazy idea to solve this crazy situation. Prepare the shuttle which we were tampering with. But we need to find a way to put it in the right place, under the Romulan ship' shielding.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: The rigged shuttle is all ready to go, and well, frankly, it seems nothing else is being very effective
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Agreed, there isn't an easy solution once it comes to blows like this.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Welcome aboard, sorry about the circumstances, but listen closely. ::looks over to the new Chief Science Officer::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: All ears.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Then if all ships and the station fire phasers and torpedoes on that area at the same time we could do some damages?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::giggles at the FCO::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
CO: I think so, Sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: And welcome to you as well, but we really need your help here ::points to CSO station:: Can you help evaluate what the weakest point of this Romulan ship is?
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
Aloud: This is just random brainstorming, but if their shields were weak enough, we might be able to get a dekyon beam through to disrupt the quantum singularities in their core.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Once communications fails, it's all downhill.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: XO: Okay. ::heads over to the console and begins looking over the latest scan data::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
Aloud: Of course, I don't actually know what dekyon particles would do to those singularities, only naturally occurring ones.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: I only hope we don't get to busy in the infirmary.
SC_Marek says:
All: We will proceed as XO suggested. Now, Commander Mitchell, coordinate to find a way to weakening the Romulan shielding.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Briefly, we've got a shuttle rigged to fly remotely from here. It's got fake bio-signatures and a bunch of explosives tucked in with the mass of the fake passengers.... If we could fly it into the Romulan ship and somehow get through whatever shields it’s got...... get the picture??
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Agreed, but you'll be ready.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: I sure do. Lemme at 'er!
SC_Marek says:
::continues the firing over the Romulan ship, and despite the heat of the battle, he cannot avoid recalling his old days as a "trigger happy" CTO::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO/FCO: Okay then, you heard the Skipper, see to it.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: And I've got all my certifications as do the other members of my team, you can put us to work as well.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::points out the remote control console that's been set up to fly the shuttle::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::continues thinking about it and realizes that it might be possible to disable the Romulan ships without blowing them to heck::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
OPS: Look into it with the CSO quickly and we will coordinate the attack
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::looks over at her brother:: Self: Okay.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Heads to his console and looks over the data there, preparing himself.::
SC_Marek says:
::receives the frantic communications between the small defensive fleet::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Lieutenant, send them whatever else you've got.... and keep a close eye on our shields......
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: I certainly will if needed. I was hoping to make more progress in the CTO's case but with everything that is happening I haven't been able to make much progress.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: What is the situation with the CTO? Is there anything that I should be aware of with her medical situation that may be influencing her behavior?
SC_Marek says:
All: We are running out of time. ::sends a full volley of photon torpedoes:: ::to the Screen:: Take this!
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan Vessel's shields continue to drain faster than one would think as it continues to fire on multiple targets.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Something on your mind Lieutenant? ::sensing she's got something she wants to spill out::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Scorpius is hit with glancing blows, taking her shields down to 72 percent.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
CSO: I have a question for you as one scientist to another. Quantum singularities in space can be disrupted with dekyon particles. Do you think that the same would apply to the Romulan power cores?
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: I haven't found anything yet; at this point I think the ball may fall into your court for assessment.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: It's just a thought, but I think I may be close to having a way to disable the Romulan ships without destroying them.
SC_Marek says:
::notices the Scorpius shields rates on the tactical reports::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::is nervous enough at a new assignment and how she's in a fight already, her tail twitches back and forth::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
OPS: What?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
OPS: Hmm....
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Spill it... now's a good time for a bit of productive brainstorming......
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::closes one eye as she thinks:: OPS: Maybe.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Understood, please keep me posted and I'll do the same. It may be something that will require attention from both departments.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
CSO: It's just a random hypothesis of mine. Their shields are getting lower and lower. We might be able to get a dekyon beam through. I was just wondering if you think it would cause a disruption in the singularities.
SC_Marek says:
CO: Captain I would suggest to send the Scorpius to the second line until she is able to recover her full shielding.
SC_Marek says:
::goes back to the console and keep coordinating the fire::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Unnecessary, she has 72% left, we need to disable that Romulan ship and fast, there is another one lurking around
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: While we have a moment I would also like to ask you if the Captain Marek has been to see you recently?
SC_Marek says:
CO: Understood.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: I used to be a science officer before I was in operations, so I had to study spatial anomalies. In space, naturally occurring quantum singularities can be disrupted by dekyon particles. I was thinking that if we could get a focused dekyon beam through to the Romulan power core, we might be able to disable it.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: I'll send the Scorpius back when and if it gets more damaged
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
OPS: Maybe just enough to upset their engines.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: To be honest, it seems that most TAC officers that I've worked with have been on the verge of paranoia and were a bit over aggressive. Sometimes I wonder if they think that it what the job demands.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: That is, assuming that their shields continue to fall at this rate. Unfortunately, it's not certain, and it would take a lot of power to try it. However, a ship or a station either one could generate it with a deflector dish.
SC_Marek says:
CO: Acknowledged. I will maintain the Scorpius in her actual tactical position then.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: We haven't had an opportunity to meet one on one yet, but I'll be doing that.  
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Good work..... That gives us a window to shoot at
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Is there something that you've noticed?
SC_Marek says:
::overhears the talking between the XO and the OPS::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: I still need to figure out the power allocation that would be necessary before I can present it as a viable suggestion, though.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: It is probably best that he speak with you about his situation, but we should keep a careful eye on him as well, but very discreetly.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Thank you, I'll do that.  
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: See what you can do to help her on that Chief
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Enters the infirmary::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::is totally psyched about power allocation and shields and such and has totally forgotten about her earlier irritation or her torn emotions about the Romulans...for the moment::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: Well all looks well so far.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: XO: Uh huh.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::empaths could sense that some part of her, as awful as it is, is actually enjoying herself at the moment::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan vessel continues to fire, finally turning its disruptors on the Station itself...
SC_Marek says:
::until his crew comes up with the final solution, he enjoys firing those torpedoes, like a kid in a toy store::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
Aloud: Damn. Direct hit. Their shield are down to 87 percent, even though we'd been able to bring them back up a little before that.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::Follows Turok into the infirmary:: CMO:  That's good, but we should set up for casualties from the ships that are assisting. With the fighting out there, we may be asked to help.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::returns to monitoring station weapons fire and notes the lack of effectiveness::
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Damage to the Station structure::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Are you ready to fly that shuttle from here yet?
SC_Marek says:
::tries to get more power from everywhere to reroute to the shielding::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: None so far.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::motions to a row of storage:: CMO:  Is this where the prep trays are stored? I can start setting those up for you.
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Fine.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Whenever you're ready, sir. What's the situation with the shields?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::notes that everyone seems to be rolling with the weapons hits better than they were at first::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: Please, if you don't mind.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::goes over to the units and opens one:: CMO: Not at all.  
SC_Marek says:
::increases starboard phasers turrets firing over the ship::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Begins to prep the infirmary and assign his team to their duties::
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: It's actually a good thing for us, the ships can restore their shields while they begin to fire on then station's
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan Vessel fires on the station again, shaking the station hard...shields down to 52 percent
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: So much for my hypothesis. We can't spare the power it would take to generate a dekyon beam.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Commander, we're ready to launch the shuttle Sir, We can work out some of the science as OPS and CSO figure it out ::looks to the two of them for some positive assurance::
SC_Marek says:
CO: That is totally true.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: Our shields down to 52%, Sir!
SC_Marek says:
XO: Proceed.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: That didn't feel to good.
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Darn!. ::sends some more power to SIF systems on that sector:: Grab power from where you can, even life support system in non vital areas.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: The AI we installed will help guide it. You just need to make sure it knows where to go
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::starts setting up the prep trays:: CMO: No it didn't. Do you have a console that we can set up to monitor the situation in Operations? It may help to know what is going on there.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: I'll evacuate non-essential areas. Sir, I have a suggestion.
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Lieutenant
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Understood.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::looks over the latest scans::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Whatever it is, it better be something you can do on the fly, cause that shuttle is now outbound.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: I really do think that dekyon particles would disrupt their power source, even though I don't know if the effect would be permanent. Maybe one of the ships could try generating a dekyon beam. It's worth a shot.
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: I imagine we can get that done through my console. ::Sits at his desk and begins the routing process::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::quickly prepares several more trays::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::is scared:: ::She has never acted on a hypothesis like this before::
SC_Marek says:
OPS: That should be up to the ships. Right now we are not able of such thing. And the ships are as crippled as us. Anyway, have your calculations ready, as soon the shuttle departures and be on its ways, we will attempt your idea
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks to the XO and OPS.::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: Aye, sir.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Is this something the station and the ships can generate in concert with each other?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
:;finishes with the first cabinet of trays and moves on to the second::  
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
XO: That's it! If we all generated weak dekyon pulses, it would cause less of a power drain!
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
::Tries to assess the situation in Main Operations from his console::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::blinks and looks over at the OPS::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::tries to calculate the minimum yield necessary to disrupt the singularities::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::is stunned at himself::
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Did you have your numbers?
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::suddenly notices the CSO:: CSO: I know. It's not very scientific to test in the field, but I'm not a science officer any more.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
SC: Yes, sir.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::hopes the numbers are right, as this is all hypothetical::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO: Are you able to see anything?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::shrugs at the OPS::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
OPS: Let's get 'er done......
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CNS: Well the shields don't look to good, about 50 percent or so.
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Very well. Have everything ready. ::looks at the XO:: I assume for your remark you have no objections to OPS suggestions.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
CMO:  That explains all the shaking...
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: We need to something Sir or we won’t be around long enough to worry about it.
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::has one sentence screaming through her head, "What the hell am I doing?":: ::she knows, but she's used to certainty::
CMO_Cmdr_Turok says:
CMO: They are starting evacuations in non essential areas as well.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Watches the OPS officer, noticing strange looks on her face....::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::looks over at R'aumo::
OPS_Lt_Sojyngra says:
::fires::
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Report. ::crosses his fingers::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  OPS fires the Dekyon beam....
