Deep Space 102 - 10811.21

The Game

"Cannon to the right of them, Cannon to the left of them..."

Previously on DS102:

The Romulans opened fire! Without provocation! Who'da thunk it? Isn't that a declaration of WAR?

Ideas for getting through the defenses of the ship are being put into practice. Will any of them work? Only the Scorpius and a couple other ships are still in the fight with the station...

What will happen next? Let's find out...

SC_Marek says:
All: Report! What happen with the Dekyon beam??
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan Vessel continues to fire and scores direct hits on the Valiant, causing her to go dead in space...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::At the tactical station firing weapons at the Romulan vessels:: SC: Sir, the Valiant is down.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
:: at the engineering console, directing the work crews ::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The dekyon beam hits the Romulan ship... nothing seems to happen...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Dekyon beam doesn't seem to have had any effect.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Darn! Cover fire! Any casualties report?
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The other vessels begin to fire their dekyon beams...
SC_Marek says:
XO: Did you launch the shuttle?
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Flight, you have control of that shuttle?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Firing torpedoes, full spread! ::Hits the fire button sending a volley of torpedoes to the Romulan vessel::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::looks over to the Station Commander:: SC: It should be underway, Sir. ::Looks at the Flight Control Officer for answers::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: It's heading out as we speak. What's the situation with the shields?
SC_Marek says:
OPS: Be ready to beam the wounded from the Valiant aboard if we get a chance.
SC_Marek says:
*Sickbay*: Be ready for some patients. Marek out.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Casualty reports coming in now.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan vessel begins to lose power rapidly...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Sir, the Romulan vessel is losing power.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Commander, is that Romulan vessel paying any attention to our shuttle???
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Several injured from level 20 being transported to the Infirmary.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Ensign, take that shuttle on an indirect course towards its target..... We’ve got to try to keep them from paying attention to it...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Transporters rooms are ready to beam the wounded to sickbay
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Acknowledged.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Weapons from the Romulans cease fire and shields begin to buckle...
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
XO: Aye, sir. ::Taps on his console, making changes to the shuttle's course.::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Their shields are buckling!
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::glances over at R'aumo::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Fires another volley of torpedoes::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::wonders if the Romulan ship will implode instead::
SC_Marek says:
::sees the buckling shielding of the Romulan Vessel on the screen::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
Self: Maybe we can keep that beautiful shuttle after all...
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Power readings from the engine room on the Romulan vessel begin to fluctuate wildly...
SC_Marek says:
::stands up:: ::opens a comm to all vessels: All: Something is going on with the vessel shielding, let's take advantage of that. Fire at will!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Reading power fluctuations on the Romulan vessel!
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Give them.... ::refrains himself to finish the phrase:: Fire!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CSO: Ensign - readings on that ship?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Firing torpedoes, full spread! ::Hits the fire button and reloads the launchers::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  Weapons strike the Romulan Vessel again and again...
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::checks her sensors:: XO: I think it's working.
SC_Marek says:
XO: Bring that shuttle to total stop! ::watches the torpedoes trajectory on the screen::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Full stop Ensign.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Taps on his console.:: XO: Done.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  a familiar power signature begins to build in the Romulan vessel...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: That ship is about to blow, Sir! Pull the ships back!
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks to the SC, ready to pull the shuttle away.::
SC_Marek says:
COM: All ships: The ship is about to explode! Get your ships to safe distance!
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC/CTO: If that ship explodes we might suffer from the blast...
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::gulps::
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Full power to shielding!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Rerouting power from anywhere I can find some, Sir!
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Romulan vessel explodes in a powerful blast, resulting in a level two shockwave...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Transferring all available power to the shields, shutting down non essential
SC_Marek says:
COM: Station Wide: Brace for explosion shockwave!
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Grips the console with both hands::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::grabs the most convenient handrail::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The shockwave hits the station and shakes everything violently...
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::ducks under console::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
Self: There goes my baby... ::Braces for impact.::
SC_Marek says:
::sees the bright explosion in the screen, while grabs hold from his chair::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: One down Sir, there's still another one out there...
SC_Marek says:
XO: yes, but the important thing is that now we know how to face them.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Yes, but will the same plan work twice?
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The shaking stops and everything is quiet in Operations.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Weapons status Commander? How we doing on fire power here?
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Active scan in all Station surroundings. Try to locate any trace that may indicate us the other ship's location.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Do we wait for the second one to attack or do we attempt a pre-emptive strike?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Weapons are green, Sir!
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
FCO: Standby to return our shuttle to the Main Shuttle Bay Ensign
SC_Marek says:
XO: Hardly, but we still have that ace in the sleeve. Your shuttle remember.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Maybe the other one will give up and leave now that they know we can do the damage.
SC_Marek says:
CO: Negative. We need to deal with this for good.
SC_Marek says:
CO: Let's find them, and give them what they deserve.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: Then I can have the Scorpius start looking for that second sensor ghost
SC_Marek says:
CO: Please do. Combine with Station Tactical
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::peeks out from under her console::
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The second Romulan vessel decloak at the edge of weapons range, shields up, but weapons cold
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Commander, lets get an idea of how the other ships are and how their weapons are holding out.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: We have the second Romulan vessel on sensors, just out of weapons range. Their weapons are not hot.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The Valiant is sending a distress call...
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: I'm ordering the Scorpius to locate the sensor ghost and they will send the coordinates to you, the Scorpius can also fire its weapons at the coordinates at your command
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Begins to bring the shuttle towards home.:: Self: There, there...
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Anyway, a warning shot, just to state our intentions.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: I'm lowering the shields to beam the Valiant survivors aboard the station.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Proceed. FCO: Assist the CTO.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: Aye, Captain.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
SC: Aye.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Lowers the shields and begins transporting the Valiant's crew to the Infirmary::
SC_Marek says:
*Sickbay*: We've got wounded incoming. Be prepared.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: I have the second Romulan vessel on sensors.
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> DS-102: Romulan Vessel t'Vek to Space Station.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: The Romulans are hailing us.
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Open a channel.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: Aye, Sir. ::Opens the channel::  Channel open, Sir.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
CTO: The Scorpius can also help with the wounded from the Valiant if DS-102 sickbay is too full
SC_Marek says:
::in a harsh tone:: COM: t'Vek: This is Captain Marek. Go ahead.
Host Gerry says:
<Romulan> @DS102: SC:  Captain, I am Commander Soval. I ask for a truce while I search for survivors from the criminal vessel we have tracked to your area of space. I have reason to believe her Commander has escaped in a life pod.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
CO: I suggest we continue bringing them to the station as the Scorpius may be needed to continue the battle.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: A renegade? Then why didn't they help us?
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: Commander Soval, It is really hard for me to believe your arguments, due the recent events. Why didn't you contact us before?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::tilts her head as she listens::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::moves from patient to patient evaluating the cases for the medical officers, and treating the minor wounds so the medical officers can concentrate on the more serious injuries:: 
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> COM: DS102: SC:  I did not wish to engage in battle, Captain. Besides, you acquitted yourself with Valor. How would my interference have bettered that?
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: Transport of the Valiant's crew is complete.
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: By avoiding the battle, and capturing your renegades with a less violent method, I guess. ::raises an eyebrow::
SC_Marek says:
::signals the CTO to keep those weapons ready, you never know with the Romulans::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Nods to the SC and raises the shields while keeping her finger on the fire button::
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> COM: DS102: SC:  Your point is taken Captain. I will make a speedy search and be gone, with your leave. It is not the aim of the Empire to make trouble here.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
::yeah right, and the moons of Mars are made of sugarplums::
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> COM: DS102: SC:  After all, we are a long way from home.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::looks over and recognizes one of the newcomers as one of the counseling team... moves to check her next while trying to remember whether she was stationed on the Scorpius or on the Station::
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: If you allow us, being our territory, we will conduct that search. If we captured them, we will have them for trial under a Federation court.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
Tessa:  What happened?
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: I will ask you to leave this side of the Neutral Zone immediately.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Looks over the damage to his shuttle.:: Self: Oh, that's not too bad. We'll get you fixed up...
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Tessa> CNS: I'm not sure, something fell just above the temple.  I don't think it's serious, but it doesn't want to stop bleeding.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::walks over to her brother and looks over his shoulder::
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> COM: DS102: SC:  Captain, I would like nothing better. However, I have located the life pod of the renegade vessel. With your permission, I will collect him and be on my way to the Empire for this individual's trial and execution. You may do with any captured Romulans as you will.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Feels his sisters breath on his shoulder. Looks back.:: CSO: Are you ok?
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::confirms Tessa's thought on the injury and quickly seals the gash:: Tessa:  Good call, I'll give you something for the headache. Do you think you're up to helping out here? ::administers the analgesic::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: FCO: Sure. Whatcha doing?
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: Sounds logical, but first we would like to inspect that pod. If you are telling us the truth, you may take your life pod after our inspection. Please, send us the coordinates.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CSO: Checking the shuttle for damage. ::Nods to the screen.:: We may still need it...
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
<Tessa> CNS: No problem. I'll just grab a medikit and a cover-up and get started.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: Oh. ::swishes her tail slowly and looks over his screen::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::nods:: Tessa: Perfect, we can use all the hands we can get. ::moves on to another person::
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> COM: DS102: SC:  Of course, Captain.  ::punches a series of buttons on the arm of his chair::  Transmitting now.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
SC: I'll go, Sir.
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: By the way, Commander, what were the intentions of such renegades in our sector, besides killing innocent people and starting a battle?
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CSO: It's not too bad, actually. It's a bit banged up and there are a few problems to fix, but it'll still run. ::Looks at her.:: Are you sure you're ok?
SC_Marek says:
CTO: Granted.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::shrugs and looks at him:: FCO: This isn't what I thought it would be like.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
XO: We've moved patients to a make shift recovery area in Cargo Bay 13.
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> COM: DS102: SC:  As near as we can tell, they were attempting to destabilize the area politically and see if they could make inroads into your infrastructure. Although we are uncertain of their ends, that was the general plan we could piece together.
SC_Marek says:
::mumbles:: Yeah, old news...
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Receives the coordinates from the Romulan vessel, turns over tactical station to the relief officer and heads to the turbolift, checking her phaser as she enters::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CSO: I think we just caught them at a bad time...
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
FCO: I hope so.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
CTO: Excellent
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
TL: Computer, transporter room two. ::tugs on her uniform::
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: Very well, our personnel will capture the life pod occupants, will perform an exhaustive inspection, and then we will hand it to you, so you can immediately leave the area. Just as a precaution, Commander, two ships will remain as your escort in the meantime. Just a precaution. I am sure you will understand.
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan> COM: DS102: SC:  I must say, you're not exactly making us feel welcome, but I suppose I do understand given the results here today...
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::glances over to where several medical officers are working, then returns her attention to the officer in front of her:: Ens: We need to get you onto a biobed to treat you properly. Dr. Firenz is almost finished there and we'll move you then. It should only be a few more minutes. ::heals the superficial cuts and stems the bleeding to the more serious injuries as they wait... sees the patient leaving Dr. Firenz' station.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps combadge:: *FCO*: Ensign R'aumo, meet me in shuttle bay two on the double. Ryan, out.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
TL: Shuttle bay two.
SC_Marek says:
COM: t'Vek: Glad we understand each other. Marek out. ::punches the button and cuts the Comm::
SC_Marek says:
CO/XO: I didn't believe a word the Commander said, but I do not see another way to finish this.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps her foot nervously as she waits to arrive at shuttle bay two::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
*CTO*: Aye. ::Puts his hand on his sister's arm.:: CSO: You gonna be ok here?
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::nods:: FCO: Go have fun.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Exits the turbolift and jogs to shuttle bay two and enters::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: I have to agree with you there Sir.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Jogs to the turbolift.:: TL: Shuttle bay two.
Host Gerry says:
@<Romulan>::stands his vessel down and waits for further signal from DS-102::
SC_Marek says:
*CTO*: Commander, turn that pod inside out. Inspect every little bolt. Take your time.
CO_Capt_Yo`Ghi says:
SC: My opinion is that they want to get their friend back and return with him, I don't think they are more legit than the first ship was
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*SC*: Aye, Sir. ::Enters the shuttle and takes a seat::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
*FCO*: Today, Ensign. ::Impatient tone::
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Steps out of the turbolift and heads to the shuttle bay.:: CTO: Already here.
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::walks back to her station and looks over the sensor readings again::
SC_Marek says:
::leans back in his chair, while reports are incoming on his screen:: CO/XO: They are lousy liars, and terrible enemies to have. I think we got really lucky this time. I am sure Starfleet Intelligence will be really interested in that ship.
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Watches as the Ensign enters the shuttle and sits down in the pilot's seat:: FCO: Coordinates have already been entered into the shuttle navigation system. Let's get going.
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: But you have to admit, they make the Galaxy an interesting place to live and work in
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
CTO: Aye. ::Runs final system checks on the shuttle before launching. Annoyed at the CTO's short tone.::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Taps the console bringing up the sensor systems and weapons. Checks the shield power:: FCO: All systems in the green. Anytime you're ready.
SC_Marek says:
XO: ::smiles:: Too much interesting for my taste... ::smiles again::
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::moves onto another patient after getting the Ensign settled with Dr. Firenz, sends this one over to another medical officer to have her broken arm set and healed::
SC_Marek says:
XO: See to locking a tractor beam on all the engine pieces that can still be analyzed.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::The shuttle lifts off the deck and begins its route.::
XO_Cmdr_Mitchell says:
SC: Aye, I'll get right on that. We'll send out a coordinated salvage team from the station and all ships in the area
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
::Thinks: Finally! Keeps an eye on the sensors as they glide towards the life pod:: FCO: Bringing tractor systems online.  We're going to lock a tractor beam on this thing and take it back to the station.
SC_Marek says:
Relief TAC: Keep a permanent sensor monitoring.
FCO_Ens_R`aumo says:
::Nods.::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
<Relief TAC> SC: Aye, Sir.
CNS_LtCmdr_Rand says:
::feels a reassuring touch on her mind and smiles knowing her family is alright, returns her concentration to the wounded that are waiting::
CSO_Ens_S`aumo says:
::continues checking the sensors::
CTO_Cmdr_Ryan says:
FCO: Tractor beam engaged.
Host Gerry says:
ACTION:  The escape pod is captured by the shuttle's tractor beam...
