Protector 12/8

[9:02] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The STAR TREK: PROTECTOR theme begins to play. The ship streaks through the stars, headed for Cardassia. The camera phases through the deflector as the ship hits it head on, phasing through walls -

[9:02] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: - until it arrives in Tiberius' office, where he's recording his Captain's Log...*

[9:02] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius slides a bowl of peanuts over to Muri as he begins his log*

[9:03] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Captain's Log, Supplemental.

[9:04] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We are soon approaching the Cardassian system. In the meantime, we've made provisions for a tactical mission to attempt to stop the coup.

[9:06] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hopefully, we are going to be able to avert it before any major damage can be done.

[9:07] [DOIC] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: End log.

[9:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The bridge is relatively quiet as the officers on duty are preparing for what awaits them.*

[9:08] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Good thing we got that install in when we did.

[9:09] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *In sickbay, the three nurses are preping the biobeds for triage work.*

[9:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Wiebe, ETA?"

[9:09] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: I am surprised it held up in last battle..

[9:09] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Experience has shown that Asada, regardless of the universe, has a tendency to seek out combat wherever it is."

[9:09] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: *assists the nurses or vive/versa*

[9:09] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Thirty minutes, ma'am.

[9:09] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Once we arrive, I'm sure the insurgents will take notice. We might not have much time to act."

[9:09] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "Aloran to Naeidra, how's the preparations coming along?"

[9:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Thank you

[9:10] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: I don't blame him... peace through superior firepower and all.

[9:11] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I agree.

[9:11] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian runs a hand through his hair before tapping at his console*That's.. a nice observation you've made..

[9:11] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Naeidra] =^= We are armed and ready, ma'am.

[9:11] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius slides over his Christmas-themed nutcracker and cracks a walnut and eats it* I'm ready for anything.

[9:12] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: You may be in the wrong organization, Mister Wuzowski.

[9:12] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "We're already counting on the satellite network initiating the tetryon cascade. The subspace interference will scramble warp drive and transporter functionality near the inner planets."

[9:12] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "We'll need to deploy quickly."

[9:12] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] How much do you know about Cardassian physiology? *to Revi*

[9:12] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "That's what I like to hear.  I'll be there shortly, we're about thirty minutes out."

[9:12] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Oh? What else would you suggest for my career path, then?"

[9:13] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He looks at bore then Nalie*

[9:13] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks over at V'Tira then back to her console.*

[9:14] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *nods*

[9:14] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Perhaps mercenary work? I hear they appreciate a penchant for violence.

[9:15] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: It wasn't my major course of surgical skill, but I am well trained in exobiology

[9:15] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Certainly got the look.. *shrugs*

[9:15] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I wouldn't call it a penchant for violence... it's just that it's better to strike first when it's obvious diplomacy isn't working."

[9:15] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Any suggestions?"

[9:15] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She looked at Desiree.*  "Permission to join my people in the armoury for tactical preparations?"

[9:15] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: You do remember the Starfleet rules of engagement, no?

[9:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] I've been re-examining Starfleet's records on the subject.

[9:16] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Of course. The fact that I adhere to them and know them doesn't neccessarily mean I agree, though."

[9:16] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We need to make sure that we don't antagonize the Cardassians.

[9:18] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "That much is certain. Any ideas for getting to the coordinates Tolar sent?"

[9:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Go ahead, Aloran

[9:18] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Like I said, if you don't believe in what Starfleet stands for, maybe a career change would be a good idea.

[9:18] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: I can pull up some information in my memory on Species...I mean on the Cardassians that may not be in Starfleet's Database

[9:19] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She nodded once, calling someone up to watch the activity table as she went charging off to the armoury.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -to Aloran- Lieutenant? ...good luck

[9:19] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Don't get me wrong, I believe it. I just think that sometimes they adhere to their rules too strictly."

[9:19] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she waves at Aloran.-- "Have fun."

[9:19] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Muri slides a PADD over.*

[9:19] [DOIC1] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She paused at the door and glanced over her shoulder.*  "Thanks," *she said to V'Tira before she vanished.*

[9:19] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius reviews the PADD.*

[9:20] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hmmm. That'll be tough. There are some anti-air defenses.

[9:20] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: And when, exactly, is a good time to abandon your principles? And without them, what's the point of having them to begin with?

[9:20] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: A tactical airdrop might be too small for the defenses to detect and respond to.

[9:20] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "I think we might be able to take advantage of the tetryon burst to scatter their targeting sensors."

[9:21] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya stepped into the armoury, taking a quick glance around at everyone assembled.*

[9:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] The Borg, you mean?

[9:21] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I've read a bunch of reports, back in the academy, when the ship tries diplomacy over and over and over again while the other side just refuses to acknowledge it over and over again and eventually >

[9:22] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Starts firing, resulting in loss of starfleet lives... Just saying. After the third try... it should be obvious words don't work."

[9:22] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: I mean I have information from the Borg which may not be in the databanks. I haven't exactly compared it all.

[9:22] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *There are four security officers with phaser rifles in their laps, as well as Squad Alpha from Delta, armed and ready.*

[9:22] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] How much...do you remember?

[9:22] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] How much...do you remember?

[9:22] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Agreed. That can only make it safer.

[9:23] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: There's a difference between self-defense and trying to make your enemies afraid to fight you.

[9:23] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya offered a slight nod as she headed for her locker to change into her tactical uniform.*

[9:23] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: About Cardassians? Not all that much, I only had to work on a few and well my memory isn't quite as efficient as a combined nueral network

[9:24] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "We'd have very little time to align our vector."

[9:24] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We should consult with helm.

[9:24] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Perhaps..."

[9:24] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I have been in a Starfleet where peace through superior firepower meant destroying everyone and everything that opposed them.

[9:24] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "What about away team personnel?"

[9:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [HERA] E-ezri?

[9:24] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: They will be notified.

[9:24] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Yes, Hera?"

[9:24] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Still it might be useful if we need to do surgery since I have ahmm performed surgery on a few.

[9:25] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: The Terran Empire wiped out every potential threat in their galaxy, and you know where they came next? Your universe. They weren't satisfied with one universe, they had to have more.

[9:25] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [HERA} Are you a-alright?

[9:25] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "For now."

[9:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grac]e I meant in general really...after what happened.

[9:26] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I am not speaking of genocide or conquest or something... I am speaking of saving our people's lives in situations where it's obvious the peaceful procedure won't work."

[9:26] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Once properly dressed she bound her red hair back in a short tail behind her head.  She grabbed her rifle next, hefting it almost lovingly in her arms as she checked it.*

[9:26] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Who did you have in mind?"

[9:27] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Lieutenant Aloran and Delta Squad.

[9:27] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Maybe diplomacy isn't the easiest option, but I sincerely hope you didn't join Starfleet simply to take the easy way out.

[9:27] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Your chief of security?"

[9:27] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Correct. She's Bad Ass.

[9:27] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: Had I done that would I have volunteered to go out on the ship's hull during warp speed?

[9:28] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Oh I remember most of the experience, just not all of the vast information. I think that is the one thing I wish I could have kept. All that knowledge

[9:28] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: My point exactly. And Starfleet as a whole does that every day. It would be easy to turn our weapons against hostile worlds and burn their cities, but we don't because there is a better way.

[9:29] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: You may think that the peaceful option doesn't work, but think about all the former enemies who are now allies. Klingons, the Romulan Republic, the Cardassians.

[9:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [HERA} Okay...I was j-just checking.

[9:29] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Wouldn't it make you...like go crazy?

[9:29] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Well thank you. How are you?"

[9:29] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: It... makes sense. *He ponders over it.*

[9:29] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [HERA} I am...unchanged?

[9:30] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "Okay well we will work on that."

[9:31] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya drew in a breath and released it then, bowing her head to mutter a short prayer.  She imagined the Prophets would appreciate her getting to the point.*

[9:31] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: There are times for defense, but we are never the aggressors. The Federation does not start wars, and we don't strike first.

[9:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Approxtimately eight minutes out, ma'am.

[9:32] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Very good, Steady as she goes. When we get there, I rather see it taking some minutes extra to get in to position, then that we accidentally get uncovered due to being in a hurry. We have no room for>

[9:32] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes..."

[9:33] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *looks back down at her console, letting the conversation die for the moment.*

[9:33] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > error here, I trust every one of you, but I just wish to remind you, Slow is safe and safe is fast.

[9:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she swivels around to looking confused at Desiree.--

[9:34] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: I have no idea. I don;t think the ship's computer is insane nor was Commander Data.

[9:34] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: But, maybe my organic brain just wasn't meant to hold it all.

[9:34] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: It is better to go a bit slower and do it right the first time, then go super fast and make am sitake, forcing you to start from scratch and waste time *smiles to ezri*

[9:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Atleast, it is how I udnerstood it... Human figures of speach is not my thing I guess

[9:35] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] However, you are neither of those things. I believe Miss Shoa's attempt was to point that out.

[9:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I knew that."

[9:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she totally didn't.--

[9:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Lovely! Anything else on your mind?

[9:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "yeah do we actually have a plan?"

[9:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- We are going to stop a coup

[9:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Exactly, Without unessesary bloodshed.

[9:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "because I don't want to get caught and tortured by the Cardassians."

[9:36] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: *nods* Very true

[9:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I wont let you get tortured, Ezri.

[9:37] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Thank you ma'am."

[9:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree promises to shoot you before that happens Ezri -nods-

[9:37] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns back to her console.--

[9:38] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: I have to sette for what I have and hope that it is enough to save as many lives as I can.

[9:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V'Tira.-- "That would not really be much better."

[9:38] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian continues supervising his console during this time of silence*

[9:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Logically, It is quicker than suffering torture in th ehands of the Cardassians is it not?

[9:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] We are arriving, ma'am.

[9:39] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she shrugs-- "I could not say, I have never been dead before."

[9:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to her- We learn by doing Ensign

[9:40] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks confused.--

[9:40] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Is this not true?

[9:40] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Under cloak, the Protector deaccelerates from warp and enters the Cardassia system.*

[9:40] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Alright, Ezri, I want a good picture of what is around the insertion zone, passive scanners. Baker, Vtira, pleasae monitor all communications carefully"

[9:40] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Still I would really like to avoid death and torture at the hands of the Cardassiand."

[9:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she turns her atttention to the scanner.--

[9:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] I am certain we will!

[9:41] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Of course Ezri, We all work from there beign as little death and torture involved in this mission as possible"

[9:41] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: In any case do we have some Cardassians in need of assistance? I'll brush up.

[9:41] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Alright... Kara, shunt power from the warp engines to the shield generators and phasers. I want them pre-charged in case we need to fight quickly.

[9:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] We have just entered the Cardassia system.

[9:41] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "that would be great ma'am."

[9:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Indeed, Lovely even!"

[9:42] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore shoots a quick glance Kara's way. He keeps her eyes on her for just a moment, before returning them to the console.*

[9:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods and commences montioring all known subspace bands of communication-

[9:42] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: My apologies for missing the communique

[9:43] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian catches the turning of his head, noticing the almost long glance that Bore had given her*

[9:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Hunkler, Please give me a tactical analysis of the situation.

[9:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Yes ma'am.

[9:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she begins using passive scanners to map the Cardassian system. noting placement of ships and orbital defenses.--

[9:44] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Simply eyes Bore up and down once before turning his attention back to his side of the console*

[9:44] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Aye ma'am...stand by

[9:44] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore doesn't seem to be paying attention to Damian.*

[9:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kara isn't paying attention to either of them as she makes the changes.*

[9:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Other than a Galaxy class orbiting Prime...not much to write home about. Although, I am seeing anomalous readings at the poles of the planet and its moon.

[9:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Focus on the Central Command in the capitol city plaza. When our people goes in I want the m to know of everything inside there.

[9:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Ezri, can you check the annomalities on the pools?

[9:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I will see what I can see."

[9:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Aye ma'am.

[9:48] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] That is quite alright...it was intended to be informative.

[9:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --uses passive scans to check out the anomalies.--

[9:50] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Are there any considerations that you think we should discuss?

[9:50] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "The Amarante is orbiting Cardassia, we've been assisting in the Embassy reconstruction efforts. When those ships activate, we're going to need to get the Embassy personnel on the surface off the -

[9:50] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: - planet as quickly as possible."

[9:50] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: That should be the task of the Amarante.

[9:51] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Yes, but in order to power simultaneous transports of that magnitude, our shield generator functionality will be limited."

[9:52] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "If those ships decide to fire..."

[9:52] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: *nods* Any idea why we're here?

[9:53] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The Protector will cover the Amarante during the operation.

[9:53] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] There appears to be turmoil on Cardassia.

[9:53] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Due to the bombing some time back?

[9:53] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she beep boops away on the console--

[9:53] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Don't forget about the drop. We need to get people on the surface to meet Lieutenant Demor."

[9:54] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "And we'll need to keep them out of the line of fire."

[9:54] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Our teams are trained for this kind of thing.

[9:54] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Hell, I invented Delta.

[9:54] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran rubbed her jaw for a while as she waited in the armoury, pacing back and forth like a caged bull.*

[9:54] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] That appears to be correct.

[9:55] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Gonna wear out the deck at that rate.

[9:55] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Sure the deck's seen worse than me," *she smirked at Chavez.*

[9:55] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tactical, Whats the outlook incase of a ship battle?, V'Tira, Baker, Anything on the comms?"

[9:56] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Really? I didn't know that."

[9:56] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: We should probably focus on small arms fire and shrapnel wounds. *pulls up some details*

[9:56] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I know it's a risky mission. The Protector needs to focus on helping evacuate the personnel.

[9:56] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Maybe we can spend a little energy assisting with our own transporters.

[9:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am quite sure our odds have statistically gone up with the USS Amarante in orbit around Crdassia Prime Lieutenant

[9:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I find that deduction agreeable, Lieutenant" *she smiles* "But I still would love to know how it looks, even with the better odds"

[9:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] We have the beds set up for triage.

[9:59] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Worse, maybe...but not pacing like that.

[9:59] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Your ship is equipped with ablative armor, you could take a few hits."

[9:59] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: It's a little damaged from the last encounter.

[10:00] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Heh.  This's always the part that gets me.  The calm before the storm.  You know what's coming, and you just wanna... get started, you know?  Break something's face in."

[10:00] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am only hearing white noise Lieutenant

[10:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] So am I...in places where it should not be.

[10:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If it is a form of encryption it is beyond m e.

[10:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *me.

[10:00] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "How badly?"

[10:01] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Some of the plates are fused. It still works, but it's not at full operational capacity.

[10:01] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --perks up at the sound of ention of advanced encryption.--

[10:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Closes her eyes and tries to reach out with her telepathy to feel if the planet is in panic, or other emotional turnmoil sugesting they are to late*

[10:01] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Good to know. This says a major artery runs behind the knee so double check even small cuts in that area.

[10:01] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Sounds like we're going to need some creative piloting. I hope your helm officer is up to the task."

[10:01] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Muri rises.*

[10:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] 30 of the  Hideki class, 18 of the Galor class, and 8 Keldons. There is nothing particularly unusual about these numbers or their formations or patrol patterns.

[10:02] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Don't worry, he is.

[10:02] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Until they begin firing on us as we rescue them all

[10:03] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she frowns at that..--

[10:03] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] In theory ma'am...a coup would lead to infighting?

[10:03] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: We and the Amarante are going to stand out in such a situation

[10:03] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] With respect I question when you don't seem like that's what you want.

[10:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: I can not sense any coup to have begun, but it is a bed waiting to be matched.

[10:04] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius stands up.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] True...but if it is clear what 'side' we are on...would they not rally to our defense?

[10:04] [DOIC4] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Showtime."

[10:04] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "I have my moments," *she assured him with a grin.*

[10:04] [DOIC4] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius walks out with Muri and smirks.*

[10:04] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes Catherine of course...in battle such things are always oh so clear

[10:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius walks onto the bridge.*

[10:05] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If things break out, We have to asume that only the Amarantene is our allied, But we will not treat anyone as our enemy unless they shoot at us first"

[10:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V'Tira, confused.--

[10:05] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Muri is right behind him.*

[10:05] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *gets up of the captains chair and looks at Tibs* Sir

[10:05] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The nurses nod at Revi's advice.*

[10:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Unless of course they are trying to save us by shooting at us a lot

[10:05] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Good afternoon.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We have a game plan.

[10:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We are in orbit, cloaked. passively scanning to gai na better picture. communications are being white noised so we can not listen in"

[10:07] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Intriguing.

[10:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: A total of 56 Cardassian vessels in orbit, Sir.

[10:07] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] What is it, sir?

[10:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: **In the system

[10:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We need to get a team onto the surface to rendevous with my contact and work on the situation down there.

[10:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --is passively scanning, going all NSA on teh CArdassians.--

[10:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The site has anti-air defenses, so taking a shuttle would be inadvisable.

[10:08] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Should've arrived by now..." *Aloran frowned, stopping in her pace.*

[10:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -is trying to use her encryption database to crack through the interference-

[10:08] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I want the Protector to fly into the atmosphere. The team can drop using the cargo bay and break the fall with jump jets.

[10:09] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: This should be too small a target for them to do anything about.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Once we maneuver through the satellite barrier, the cloak won't protect us. It will probably spur the insurgents into action."

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'll be in command of that team. Lieutenant Clerie, you will be in command of the Protector. You will need to defend the Amarante as it evacuates the Embassty.

[10:10] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: * Embassy

[10:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Sir? The AAA is good enough to hit a shuttle but the protector is to small to notice, Sir?"

[10:10] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes sir"

[10:11] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We won't fly low enough to be hit.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: The team will drop.

[10:11] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "As you say, Sir"

[10:11] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "I should warn you -- once we cross through the satellites' orbit, the cloak won't protect us. The tachyon detection grid will undoubtedly detect us and spur the insurgents into action."

[10:11] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Indeed.

[10:12] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "If they initiate the tetryon burst, warp drive will be non-functional within a radius of 1.2 AU."

[10:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Tactical, Do we know if the satelites are able to communicate with the planet trough the white noise, or is it actually helping us?"

[10:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Pardon, Anyone can answer, if you know the question"

[10:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious if we are out of phase...what would the tachyons be reacting to?

[10:13] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: **answer

[10:14] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *watches the monitors, all but twiddling her thumbs as she waits for something... anything to happen*

[10:14] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "Aloran to bridge, what's our status?"

[10:14] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] And all was quiet...not a creature was stirring.

[10:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Bridge here, Aloran tune in to the bridge feed.

[10:15] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Faster-than-light particles create natural gravitational waves as they move. We may be out of phase, but we're still affected by gravity."

[10:15] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "A heads-up would've been nice."  *She turned it on.*

[10:15] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I think we're all mentally counting down to when a torpedo will hit us or something, seeing how the past few weeks went."

[10:15] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I mean shit.. even our damage control kits are right by our feet.

[10:15] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods once- Interesting hten perhaps why we have it is that it makes a keener sound then standard cloak

[10:16] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances over her shoulder at Kobay* Shhh... you're ruining it.

[10:16] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Think of it like waves of water breaking against the rocks. The rocks don't feel anything, but the water still splashes."

[10:16] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I... have... had... enough... of... gravity.

[10:16] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore chuckles.* "I think I'd rather take another enviro suit walk at warp, huh?" *He glances to Kara, Nalie and Daniels.*

[10:16] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "With the risk of revieling how much I did not pay attention to science classes at times... I thought tachyons where touse little annoying thigns that exist cross dimentions and phases?"

[10:16] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Dame shakes his head softly at that*

[10:16] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] What? It's a traditional thing this time of year. Not a creature was stirring...not even a mouse?

[10:17] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I think you're a few weeks early, Lieutenant."

[10:17] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran muttered as she watched the feed.*  "Like they forgot they had an armoury full of people waiting for orders..."

[10:17] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Nevermind the tetryon burst they're planning to use that would light up subspace like a Christmas tree."

[10:17] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Domi] I doubt they forgot about you. The rest of us, though...I can't really remember our last live action.

[10:18] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I still don't understand that particular tradition, but I'm glad it makes you happy.

[10:18] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Point is -- we're going to be spotted, so this needs to be fast and efficient."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "I'm going to return to the Amarante and coordinate the evacuation."

[10:18] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Commander Asada..." *He turns to Tiberius.*

[10:18] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Point of traditions isn't to understand them... it's to enjoy them."

[10:18] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Aw thanks chief...but surely you at least celebrate it?

[10:19] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Best of luck."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *looks to Muri* You too.

[10:19] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Well, guess we'll have to make this one memorable then so you can hold out 'til next time."

[10:19] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Good luck, Commander, We shall not fail you"

[10:20] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "You know, we should stick a holo-tree or two in here... Give us some holiday cheer."

[10:20] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Muri nods to the crew, then heads to the transporter bay.*

[10:20] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You'd have to get it cleared by the chief first..

[10:20] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Ezri, Anything new on the pools?"

[10:21] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I'm sure you wouldn't mind, right, Chief?"

[10:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Asada to Aloran.

[10:21] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "the pools?"

[10:21] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "Aloran here, captain."

[10:21] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "The anormalities at the pools of the planet?"

[10:21] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= We need to prepare for a tactical drop. You're coming with. Bring six badass Deltas and meet me in the cargo bay in 15 minutes.

[10:21] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: If you can find a place to put it that doesn't block any access panels, hatchways, ports, or other mission-critical equipment, then sure.

[10:22] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It does look like this 'white noise' is interfering with certain planetary communication channels.

[10:22] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: =/\= "We've been waiting for you to say that, sir.  We'll be there."

[10:22] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "oh. Nothing new, they are quite anomolous. I could get mor with a multiphasic scan. I am running a computer analysis."

[10:22] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran sucked in a deep breath and turned to the others.*

[10:22] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes! Thanks, chief."

[10:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "IT owuld be interesting to know as if we do not know anything about it its likely something new, But do not break passive scans untill we ahve announced our presense"

[10:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Alright. Lieutenant Clerie, you have the Conn. I'm going to head to the armory to suit up.

[10:23] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Yes ma'am."

[10:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Sir, Would it not be more adivceble to bring good Deltas? and why do we even carry bad deltas?"

[10:23] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Heh. I'll explain the reasoning when I get back.

[10:24] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Alright, everyone.  All of you know I'm not one for flowery words or rambling speeches, so I'm not going to insult you by trying to come up with a good one on the spot."

[10:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Commander Muri-Giaz has boarded the Amarante.

[10:24] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *just nods and goes back to watching the monitors*

[10:24] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We all know what's expected of us.  We all know our duties.  We all know the consequences if we fail.  I'm not asking you to have any particular opinions on this mission, or the people we're saving..

[10:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "... ... " *closes her eyes and eventually finds what she looks for somewhere* "Never mind, sir. Good luck, please return with health"

[10:24] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] We'll find a spot.

[10:25] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: or the people we're fighting, because that's not part of our job.  Our job is to pick up where diplomacy has failed.  And Prophets or whatever deity you choose to believe in willing, we'll do our...

[10:25] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: jobs and look damned badass doing it.  Now let's get to the cargo bay, we're going down."

[10:25] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'll do my best. Remember, your top priority is helping the Amarante evacuate the Embassy. That takes priority over anything involving the ground team.

[10:25] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Yes! And we'll decorate the thing almost as good as the big one in the Academy courtyard."

[10:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes sir"

[10:26] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *There are cheers in the armory as Delta are clearly read for action.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius turns and walks off the bridge.*

[10:26] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Good luck, Sir"

[10:26] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Have fun sir."

[10:26] [DOIC1] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'll do my best.

[10:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, Order general quarters without going to red alert"

[10:27] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: =^= All hands to general quarters...your alert status remains at condition yellow.

[10:27] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker]

[10:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Can I leave you and Ensign Snow in charge of that?

[10:29] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "I can do that, of course... Snow... eh. He doesn't seem full of holiday spirit."

[10:29] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *ignores Bore* Sure.. I'm sure we can find a suitable spot.. *glances at him at this point*

[10:30] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Please give me all hands on the comm"

[10:30] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Throws back a glance at Dame.* "What? You don't seem excited?"

[10:30] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius walks into the armory.*

[10:31] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] You are on.

[10:31] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *All of the Deltas rise and stand at attention.*

[10:31] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *He slides his kit closer to his feet, eyeing Bore* Oh man... you're right.. let me be super stoked.. it's the perrrrfect time to be excited.

[10:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Takes a deep breath*

[10:31] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran turned, giving a respectful salute to Tibs.*  "Captain."

[10:31] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: At ease -- keep suiting up. We need to drop soon.

[10:31] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Not like we're orbiting over a powder keg..

[10:32] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Lighten up, you ain't going down to the surface at least."

[10:32] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We've been ready and raring for action, Captain," *she grinned wolfishly.*

[10:32] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Deltas all nod.*

[10:32] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Me too. Remember, we're not sure who is a friendly and who is a hostile, so show some restraint.

[10:32] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Hey.. I'll even toss in some christmas presents under the tree as well..

[10:33] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: =^= All hands, This is your XO. We are above Cardassia and together with the Amarante we may be the only thing to stop a coup that could devastate hundreds of thousends of beautiful lives>

[10:33] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "That's a good idea." *He shuts up when Desi starts talking.*

[10:33] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Understood.  Don't fire until they fire on us."

[10:33] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Understood.

[10:33] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she whispers -- "beautiful is a stretch, they are Cardassians."

[10:34] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > Lives of a civilization that is still fragile fro mrecovering for a massive galactic conflic. Lives of people not at all ready for anything like this. But as we know on this ship, It is more at >

[10:34] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I dated someone from Cardassia at the academy Ensign

[10:34] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks over at V'Tira, her eyebrows raised.*

[10:34] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Right. *Tiberius approaches his locker and begins to suit up in armor.*

[10:34] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > stake here, To many thing are aligning in teh same little direction, What we may be doing today, is safekeeping the quadrant, just like we did with the Nah'kuul. I have absolute faith in each and >

[10:35] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she blinks at V'Tira.-- "really?"

[10:35] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *glances at Kobay* Did she just say what I think she said?

[10:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods as she works her console- He was a third year medical student

[10:35] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > every one of your abilities, we been trough countless hardship in our short year together, We have come out on top, and for the better each time>

[10:35] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: You opinion is somewhat subjective

[10:36] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "well that is true. My opinion is based on Trill being normal and everything else being abnormal."

[10:36] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius grabs his full auto phaser rifle* Alright. Are we all geered up?

[10:36] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > and I know, You all are teh right people to be here, to help these people and put and end to this coup. In a few minutes, we will glide in to the atmosphere and our Captain will drop together with >

[10:36] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Quiet tonight is everyone feeling okay?

[10:36] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Aye, sir."

[10:37] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Let's form up in the shuttle bay and prepare for drop.

[10:37] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Eyes bore* I'll make sure to wrap up a this old school razor for you.. to you know.. shave.

[10:37] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > our brave deltas to the Central comand itself, to allow for the evacuation of people by the Amerathe, and to hopefully stop this coup. Our job is to at -all-cost, Protect the Amerathe as they >

[10:37] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "You heard him," *she nodded to the Deltas.*  "Move out."

[10:37] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed...if one were to view such a point of view in reverse..one might have to point out..how much just off center your spots are.

[10:37] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *The heavily armed team strides through the halls in slow-motion*

[10:37] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Thanks, but... I don't shave." *Bore says softly, then looks away, clearly not wanting to bring up the topic.

[10:38] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya dons a pair of shades just to take them off once they get to the shuttle bay.  In slow motion, naturally.*

[10:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: ---Ezri thinks on that her mind seems blown.--

[10:38] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > evacuate officers, enlisted, Civilians and children. We will not fail them in their hour of need, We are the sword and the shield. and we will cary that role proudly and beautiful>

[10:38] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I never thought of it that way."

[10:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I just assumed you had grown used to it

[10:39] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib stands in front of Delta as they form up in the shuttle bay.*

[10:39] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Hearing of it I mean -continues to look for a white to cut through the white noise-

[10:39] [DOIC] Desiree@Illuice: > I want you to know that just -your- effort, and that jsut -you- give your all, is important here, we are one team, one effort, and together we shall succeed. Desiree out.

[10:39] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] What do you mean?

[10:40] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] Ummm...nervous?

[10:40] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran formed up with the others.*

[10:40] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --Checks her analysis of the anomolies near the poles.--

[10:40] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Alright. The situation is that a coup is about to take place on Cardassia.

[10:40] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [+5 bonus to all who heard that! Deltas already have a +5 thanks to Aloran :)]

[10:40] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: We're stopping a coup? I thought Cardassia was independent?

[10:40] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "It's... actually... quite stupid."

[10:41] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] I don't really know the context.

[10:41] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We are about to drop and meet with our contact, Lieutenant Tolar Demor.

[10:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *sighs* I really hope that's not what we're about to do. I'd rather not get court martialed again.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "interesting"

[10:42] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Remember, the rules of engagement are in effect. We aren't sure who is hostile and who is friendly at this point.

[10:42] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Again?"

[10:42] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Any questions?

[10:42] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Don't be ridiculous.

[10:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: I mean... for the first time.

[10:42] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *looks over at them*

[10:42] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Of... course."

[10:42] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: *refuses to look at Bore*

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "My analysis of thos anomolies indicates possible duranium signatures."

[10:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *leans back in the chair and watches the bridge*

[10:42] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We have a visual of the drop zone yet?"

[10:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ships

[10:42] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore seems confused, albeit glad that the focus shifted from him to something else.*

[10:42] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] No sir...our rules of engagements are on your orders.

[10:42] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Could be ships, certainly."

[10:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Those can only be the cloaked hulls of ships

[10:43] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Franz] Let's do this!

[10:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Interesting, Can you verify?

[10:43] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Leo] 'bout time.

[10:43] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Asada to bridge. Prepare to take us in for the drop.

[10:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "If I can do a multiphasic scan I could probably tell for sure."

[10:43] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Ok... then... *focuses back on his console*

[10:43] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "using passive scans probably not."

[10:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Above the atmosphere or below?

[10:43] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran paused.*  "...Do we at least know where it is that we're about to land in?"

[10:43] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: We do have coordinates.

[10:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Bridge here, We are in position to begi nthe run, once you give the order it 120 seconds to drop point"

[10:44] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -checks for any sign of transmissions from Ezri's anomalies or any sign of impulse trails from their power generation-

[10:44] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] So...has anyone thought about what they /want/ for that...'traditional holiday'?

[10:44] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] After that message...I would expect some casualties.

[10:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "in the ionasphere, near the magnetic poles."

[10:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Very well, when we drop cloak, I want you to do the full scan on those"

[10:44] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: I don't think that's how it goes Daniels..

[10:44] [DOIC2] Nallie@Cuatela: Save that question for when we're not about to go into combat.

[10:44] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Get on the ready line, people. Two minutes until drop.

[10:44] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Begin your run.

[10:44] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Sure thing ma'am."

[10:44] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "I mean, where are we headed?  A city, a field?  Literally any information would be useful."

[10:44] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *clamps his mouth shut, nodding*

[10:44] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius positions himself near the door.*

[10:44] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Undersood, Commencing run.

[10:44] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She walked next to Tibs.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Helm... Its time.

[10:45] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I bet it is a fleet of pirate ships."

[10:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am showing Ion displacement..that could be consistant with a ships impulse engines at those locations

[10:45] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Yes ma'am...taking us in.

[10:45] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The cloaked Protector dives into the atmosphere of Cardassia Prime.*

[10:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Bridge to the captain. Be adviced we have detected what seems to be aditionally cloaked ships on the poles of the planet.

[10:45] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: In my opinion those are cloaked starships

[10:46] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] In the ionasphere?

[10:46] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks at V'Tira.-- "cloaked pirate ships."

[10:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Why not...we are

[10:46] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Understood. Proceed with the plan. Protect the Amarante and evacuate the Embassy. Those individuals are your top priority.

[10:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Any known technology matching what you see?"

[10:46] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The six Deltas are lined up behind the pair.*

[10:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "Yes sir"

[10:47] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= I expect that if the situation becomes too much for you to handle, you will evacuate those individuals and leave the system immediately.

[10:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= "We will make sure as many as we can are evacuated, Sir"

[10:47] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It is possible that they are some form of weaponry such as a weapon of mass destruction...but with the duetarium signatures and the presence of a possible impulse trail...it is logical to presume they

[10:47] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *There is some evident turbulance as the Protector settles into the atmosphere.*

[10:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "ETA?"

[10:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I am showing a marked increase in the anomalies emission intensity..i believe they are powering up whatever or whoever they are

[10:48] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods--

[10:48] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] We are in position.

[10:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Keep an close eye on them

[10:49] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Her face scrunched in irritation as she prepared for the drop, steadying herself with a hand on the doorframe.*

[10:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Bridge to The captain, We are in position.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she gets ready to do her scan.--

[10:49] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Let's try to ensure they are only injuries if we can. I'm not expecting miracles, just your best.

[10:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -begins to look for any matches to the emissions in her database-

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "it looks like we have been spotted ma'am."

[10:49] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] Yes ma'am.

[10:49] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --goes ahead and does her scan.--

[10:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Cardassian Impulse engine signatures...rapidly closing!

[10:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Very well, shift to active scans. Baker, inform me the moment the away team has cleared the ship

[10:50] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Confidence is now high...those are Cardassian ships

[10:50] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --switches over to active scans now.--

[10:50] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Understood, status of their weapons?

[10:50] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Warm up your jump jets.

[10:50] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The Deltas do as instructed.*

[10:51] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius flips a few switches on his suit.*

[10:51] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Vieya followed suit.*

[10:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods some as she says- Like a wolf pack

[10:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: =^= Sir, You need to clear the hagar right now, we have incomming hostiles.

[10:51] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: =/\= Understood.

[10:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Incomming potetnial hostiles

[10:51] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Fire up your jump jets on full at 550 meters. Let's do this.

[10:51] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "You heard the lady!  Open the hatch!" *Aloran bellowed over her shoulder.*

[10:53] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The hatch is quickly opened by two Deltas.*

[10:53] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Protector is rocked by a direct spiral wave disruptor blast that scatters across its dorsal shields.*

[10:53] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Incoming!

[10:53] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius leads the jump out of the bay just in time to see the spiral blast hit the Protector.*

[10:54] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore grabs onto the console.* "Fuck! I knew it!"

[10:54] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran leapt out right after Tibs, trying not to curse as she started falling.*

[10:54] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Spiral wave disruptor blast."

[10:54] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Evasive manuvers!

[10:54] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Already on it!

[10:54] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] Woah!

[10:54] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: \

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] Woah!

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: (dammit)

[10:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Already on it!

[10:54] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Perhaps they only seek to rescue us? -holds onto her console-

[10:55] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: [DeltaComms] Next stop, Cardassia Prime. *Tib looks down at the ground as he watches the altitude meter in his helmet*

[10:55] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] The Cardassians are targeting our engines!

[10:55] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The six Deltas had jumped out after Aloran as the blast hit.*

[10:55] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Jam their targeting if possible, Cut out communications. How many of them are there

[10:55] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --tries to jam their targetting sensors.--

[10:56] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [DeltaComms] "Stay calm, this ain't even close to where the fun part starts," *she smirked as she looked over her shoulder at the Deltas behind her.*

[10:56] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Redirecting power to dorsal shielding....

[10:56] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -turns her gear onto the attacking ships and attmepts to foul their targetting arrays and subspace communications-

[10:56] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tries to determine if anyone is down there at the landing site.*

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Three Hideki class raiders on approach!

[10:57] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Dorsal shields at 70%!

[10:57] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --does something.--

[10:57] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] This is a breeze so far...enjoying the view?

[10:57] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -does so too-

[10:57] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Wiebe, Take us up from the atmosphere towards the Amaranthe. Launch aft torpedos once they are behind us.

[10:58] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: **The raiders are behind us

[10:58] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: [DeltaComms] Stay sharp... we're approaching the altitude for jump jets.

[10:58] [DOIC3] Dr Revi Sandhovar@yisolde: Everyone okay? No one hit their head did they? *remembering her own experience doing just that*

[10:58] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [DC] "Oh, yeah, just the place every Bajoran girl wants to visit."  *She nodded at Tibs.*  "Ready and set, Captain."

[10:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Shoa] Fine here...

[10:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Grace] I'm good!

[10:59] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Take poweer from transporters to reinforce the shields.

[10:59] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Magreilr] I am undamaged.

[10:59] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: [DeltaComms] Looks like some kind of church down there.

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Redirecting power.

[11:00] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [DC] "See a safe spot to land nearby?"  *Aloran tried to get a look as well.*

[11:00] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: [DC] Alright... activate jump jets for controlled descent. We can land next to the Church.

[11:00] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Understood, taking us up.

[11:00] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Are the raiders following us?"

[11:00] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [DC] "Aye, captain."  *She pressed the button to activate said jump jets.*

[11:01] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius hits his jump jets to slow his descent.*

[11:01] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Hidekis take a few more shots at the Protector's impulse engines.*

[11:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --scans to see if the raiders are following.--

[11:02] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "They are definitly turning to follow us ma'am."

[11:02] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Launching torpedoes!

[11:02] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Good!

[11:03] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Ezri or V'Tira, Do you think you can use our external holographic projectors to create some imaginary backup for us?

[11:04] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius prepares to land.*

[11:04] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian grips the console sides as best he can, checking up on the damage from the screen as he does so*

[11:05] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran followed suit.*  [DC] "Everyone good so far?"

[11:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "I can try to create a few holographic ships."

[11:05] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It will cause a momentary disctraction at best

[11:05] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I agree they are not likely to be fooled for too long."

[11:05] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib lands like every Marvel Cinematic Universe character ever.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Cardassians are pretty smart."

[11:06] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The raiders scatter and mostly evade the torpedoes, taking minor damage from the shockwaves. One of them takes a direct shot at the port impulse engine and hits.*

[11:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "That is enough, Just to strike fear in to them. Wiebe. prepare to turn around to attack pattern Alpah 2 once we are within 20KM of the amarathe, Tactical, you take torpedoes, Ill take phasers, Lets >

[11:06] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > bite back"

[11:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: we might be able to ....increase the distraction time if we refect the holographics off of the Amarante's shield to make them look like more ships appearing out of cloak

[11:06] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] We've taken a hit on the port impulse engine!

[11:06] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --works on creating a small holographic fleet.--

[11:06] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: around the galaxy  class

[11:07] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore grips the consoles as the ship shakes again.* "Motherfucker."

[11:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: What is wrong with our shields!?

[11:07] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] We're good here.

[11:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Do it V'Tira, Ezri!

[11:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -works on angling the hilographic projectors to display off of the Amarante

[11:07] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Baker, how did it get trough our shields?

[11:07] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she looks ar V'Tira.-- "that is a good idea."

[11:07] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib flicks off the safety on his rifle* [DC] Let's clear that building. Aloran, you'll breach the door, I'll sweep. The rest of Delta behind me to clear the room.

[11:07] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran was much more careful with her landing, slowing as much as possible before settling down and looking around at their surroundings.*

[11:07] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: As is yours...let us see how smart these cardassians truly are

[11:08] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --helps V'Tira set up the projectors.--

[11:08] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [DC] "Aye, captain."  *She pulled her own rifle off of her back, headed toward the door.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Ezri as they work-

[11:08] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I'm not sure, perhaps a lucky shot or some technology I'm not familiar with...shields are holding.

[11:08] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The church is eerily quiet.*

[11:08] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I'm not sure, perhaps a lucky shot or some technology I'm not familiar with...shields are holding.

[11:09] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: [DC] Tiberius readies his weapon and waits for Aloran to breach the door, so he can epically sweep inside.

[11:09] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Delta surround Tiberius in a protective manner, looking around for any targets.*

[11:09] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Please find out what it is, We are not letting them take us out of the fight that easy, Wiebe, ETA to the 20KM mark?

[11:09] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran examined the door, trying the usual method to open it.*

[11:10] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The church door just... slowly opens.*

[11:10] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *CrEeEeAaAk*

[11:10] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tib enters the building, rifle raised to eye level.*

[11:10] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] Ten seconds!

[11:10] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran switched the light on her rifle into the on position, creeping forward ahead of the others and sweeping for any sign of traps or people.*

[11:11] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *They see a horrific scene -- bodies with scorch marks strewn about, small embers burning from holes in the walls and furnishings.*

[11:11] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *One of them appears to still be breathing, albeit barely.*

[11:11] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Holographic projectors re-aligned...ready for you to transmit your images Ezri

[11:11] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: [DC] Scan for life signs. *Tiberius rushes over to the barely-breathing person.*

[11:12] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The robed monk is nursing a very nasty disruptor wound on his side that looks like it might be infected.*

[11:12] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she nods-- "I have selected the optimum images to project."

[11:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Very good, when at the mark, Activate the reinforcements, Go to attakc pattern Alpha 2, Tactical, weapons free for torpedoes, Ill give them the phasers, Baker, give us some extra weapons power, we >

[11:12] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > need to convince them its more then one ship shooting at them"

[11:12] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius pulls his first aid pack off his belt and begins to treat him.* What happened?

[11:13] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran stopped then as her light shone on the bodies.*  [DC] "Aye, sir!  Someone bring a medkit!" *she called as she saw the monk's shallow breathing."

[11:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Ezri- Ready when you are at the ar Ensgn

[11:13] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] Route power through the EPS conduits from the ablative armor to weapons!

[11:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: mark*

[11:13] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [DC] "Scratch that, he's got it," *she said as she started to scan for life signs nearby.*

[11:13] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The monk looks up at Tiberius.* "They came. Th-they knew... they knew he was here."

[11:13] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: "Aye ma'am hologrphic fleet qued up and ready."

[11:13] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Who was here?

[11:13] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It will be most...startling for them...

[11:13] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *The six Deltas form up defensively around the monk.*

[11:14] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] MARK!

[11:14] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Lets do this!"

[11:14] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She looked at the Deltas.*  [DC] "Don't need all six of you here.  You four, spread out and keep looking for anything else."

[11:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods to Ezri-

[11:14] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Transmit!

[11:14] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nods. He circles to another console and does as Kara says.* "On it!"

[11:14] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --pushes the button to transmit.--

[11:14] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: [Monk] "The son of Demor, th-the peacebringer's son." *The monk hisses in pain.* "They want to u-use him as... an effigy."

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Getting the power now...it is rerouting! *She looks over to Hunkler.*

[11:15] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Firing!

[11:15] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Do you know where they took him?

[11:15] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *waits for the ship to be in attack position and fired a full frontal salvo in a cone, tryign to damage more then once ship to sell the illusion*

[11:15] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius talks as he continues to dress up the wound.*

[11:17] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "No, th-the--AHHHH." *He cries out, wincing.* "They we-weren't talkative..."

[11:17] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Did you at least see the direction in which they went?

[11:17] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The strategy completely whiffs and the Hidekis respond in kind with a focused barrage of disruptor blasts.*

[11:17] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dalby] We did it.

[11:18] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The monk nods.* [Monk] "T-towards the city."

[11:18] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Damn right. Let's hope the clowns up in bridge will make good use of it."

[11:18] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Keep at it people, weapons are free, Ezri, V'Tira. do what you can to give us an edge"

[11:19] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Funny, I think they call us the clowns down here..

[11:20] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Than that is where we need to go.

[11:20] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: Depends on the point of view...

[11:20] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Every single one of the Hidekis' strikes hits right on the mark, weakening the shields until they spark and become ineffective, allowing some shots to strike at the impulse engines, causing the -

[11:20] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: - Protector's attitude control to destabilize.*

[11:21] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- Aye Lieutenant -attempts to jam the pursuing raiders-

[11:21] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Unfortunately, the newly bolted ablative armor doesn't hold very well.*

[11:21] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] We are losing altitude!

[11:21] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Shields are gone!

[11:21] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Looks like it, I doubt there's anything else left here."

[11:21] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Following your lead, sir.

[11:21] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Shit! Think I can go jump-start the generators like I did last time?"

[11:21] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Well then let's pump the power from the shields to the engines then?

[11:22] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius looks down at the Monk*

[11:22] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: (( is he cardassian

[11:22] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: Bore.. generators won't work.. the plating is gone.

[11:22] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Activate the emergency engineering protocoles, get the engines back. Tactical do what you can to deny them space"

[11:22] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The robed spoonhead's breathing is shallow and inconsistent.*

[11:22] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: I believe it is safe to assume they were less than impressed by our holographic display

[11:23] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: I'm afraid there isn't much we can do for you.

[11:23] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: "Plating is gone too?!" *He switches his display.* "Shit, they are."

[11:23] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I belive someone has given them new weapons! Whats our shield status?"

[11:23] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Amarante lashes out with powerful phaser blasts, scorching one Hideki.*

[11:23] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *he works on trying to get shields back up in the meantime*

[11:23] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: [Monk] "I... understand. I will be with the dieties soon."

[11:23] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Wiebe] I am trying to stablize us!

[11:24] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Shields are gone!

[11:24] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --tries to carefully the tractor beam to use it to deflect incoming fire.--

[11:24] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: All of them!?

[11:24] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *All of them.*

[11:25] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran gave the monk a very slight nod.*  "Your death won't be in vain.  We'll make sure of that."

[11:25] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] You are incorrect Mister Ristovski...the generators operate indepedantly of the plating. Activate them!

[11:25] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Activate the ablative generators. Shunt the weapon capacitors in to the shields so we can get then back quciker. Tactical keep torpedo barraging.

[11:25] [DOIC2] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore nods. He grabs his kit and runs out towards them.*

[11:26] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Engineering reports the activation is in progress.

[11:26] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She looked at Tibs then.*  "We don't have much time, sir."  *She turned and headed back for the church door.*

[11:26] [DOIC6] Bore Ristovski@bulgariandragon1: *Bore bursts into the generator room, opening the access panel. He coughs as smoke pours into his face and starts working.*

[11:26] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The monk slowly stops breathing.*

[11:26] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius looks up with determination.* It is time.

[11:26] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] What...he does realizes we can activate them from here? *Kobay facepalms and activates the generators.*

[11:26] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *He walks out of the church with a purpose.*

[11:27] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Keep up with the torpedoes, Even if you miss you force them to dodge.

[11:27] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: New guy.. give him some time!

[11:27] [DOIC] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *A hum is heard as the ablative armor generators come online.*

[11:27] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Ma'am, the Amarante is hailing.

[11:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Our generators are online.

[11:28] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran looked out at the horizon, trying to spot the city in question.*

[11:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Onscreen, Keep up with the fight

[11:28] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Ensign Snow, go grab him please!

[11:28] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy puts the Amarante on screen.*

[11:28] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Delta follow Tibs.*

[11:28] [DOIC5] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *A gleaming metropolis shines brightly under the scarlet sunset sky.*

[11:28] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Im impressed with the range of thier weapons.

[11:28] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: You sue you want me to grab him? Right now.. in the middle of a firefight? He can manage.

[11:29] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Lieutenant, we're going to pull in close and tractor you out of here. We have twelve incoming Keldon-class ships, we're not going to be able to hold out."

[11:29] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: [DC] "Well... find a Cardassian in a city full of Cardassians.  We have our work cut out for us."

[11:31] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Kobay shakes her head.* Fine.

[11:31] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Don't worry. I brought some of his DNA.

[11:31] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "The away team will have to find another way off the planet. We have the Embassy personnel."

[11:31] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Negative, Use your extra time to continue the evacuation, The mission criteria was very clear"

[11:32] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: *Tiberius pulls a locket out from a pouch in his armor, which contains a small vial of blood.* Been carrying this around for a year.

[11:32] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran studied it and Tibs for a moment before she nodded and whipped out a tricorder.*  "Well, what're we waiting for then?"

[11:32] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "Regulation 191, Article 14 - Command of the battle group falls to the tactically superior vessel. That would be mine. Fall back, Lieutenant. That's an order."

[11:33] [DOIC5] Tiberius Asada@atemporal: Right. Scan the blood and see if you can find any DNA matches.

[11:33] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this-

[11:33] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Amarante maneuvers into position to tractor the Protector and continues to swat at the Hidekis.*

[11:33] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran took a scan of the DNA so that she could expand the search to anyone in range matching the profile.*

[11:35] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Meanwhile, the Keldons appear on short-range sensors and will be in weapons range shortly.*

[11:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "There are real living people that need your help down there, -SIR-. Are you just going to turn them your back?"

[11:35] [DOIC1] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: "We can't help them if we're dead. Prepare for tow." *The channel cuts out.*

[11:35] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Looks at the tactical officer* "Keep shooting! Activate the rapid fire protocol, anialate them!"

[11:35] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] Aye ma'am!

[11:36] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Looks with pure hatered at the screen*

[11:36] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Curious

[11:36] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Woodrow contiues to fire on the Hidekis.*

[11:36] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The last remaining Hideki from the original battle group throws one last photon spread at the Protector as the Keldons begin to bear down on the Amarante.*

[11:37] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "If we are being forced out of the battle, we are not leaving with a single torpedo, Empty them."

[11:37] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Woodrow does as instructed, firing as many torpedoes as the last remaining Hideki.*

[11:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Not all at the same, Woodrow, Spread our final gift.

[11:38] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Hideki explodes in spectacular fashion.*

[11:38] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *Damian sighs, shaking his head when he notices the ammount of power being drawn into the weapons systems... he's gonna be spending time replacing burnt out components alright*

[11:38] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Aim to disable, We have nothign to gain form killign anyone. But everyoen we disable is a problem that wont harm the captain

[11:38] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *The Amarante grabs the Protector just as the satellites emit the tetryon pulse. The lights aboard the Protector fade in and out as the warp core flickers erratically.*

[11:39] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] They are gone, ma'am.

[11:39] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: The Keldons?

[11:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] The Hidekis we engaged

[11:40] [DOIC] Muri@Starboard_Nacelle: *Desiree's inquiry is answered by a direct hit from one of the Keldon's forward disruptor arrays as the Amarante drags the Protector away as fast as possible, the nacelles of both ships flickering.*

[11:40] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Hunkler] I am firing on the Keldons to disable!

[11:42] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Woodrow looks up at Desiree.* They are out of range...I fired as many as I could.

[11:42] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Understood, Damage report?"

[11:42] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: ...Considerable

[11:43] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *taps her fingers together as she closes her eyes, having to focus very hard to not accidentally spread her rage with her empathy*

[11:43] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Shields are still offline, ablative armor absorbed most of the damage after that...port impulse engine took a hit.

[11:43] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Daniels] Ensign Snow, take a DCT team to the impulse engines.

[11:44] [DOIC2] Damian@the5of435: *picking up his kit* Right then.. come on, you know who you are.. *leaves engineering to get to work*

[11:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Right... People, We are among the most recently refitted ships in the fleet. We where devastated by ships that tactically shoudl not eve nbe able to make our shield flimmer, they shot -trough- the >

[11:45] [DOIC2] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Two officers leave with Damian.*

[11:45] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > shield, in to the impulse engines, neglecting the state of the art static ablatives... I want to know what is going on here, and I want to know it two seconds ago, Aside from damage control and >

[11:46] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -shakes her head at this-

[11:46] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: > care of injured. That is your job. Unless we find a miracle of an explanation how this thing that not even in the worst dreams should occure... this ship will not fly again. Something is wrong here"

[11:47] [DOIC1] Ezri Tegan@Demoncherub: --she studies her console.-- "I am doing an analysis of the sensor logs from the battle to try and get some idea what sort of weapons they were using."

[11:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "And I -know- for afact that it is not the ships officers. Was it sabotage? Was it somethign we did not see? I want to know it"

[11:47] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes ma'am...running diagnostics now.

[11:47] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Those where not cardassian weapons. that is for sure"

[11:47] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *Dame leads the two officers down to the deck where they could get the most effective work done*

[11:48] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: *Tries her best to thread the fine line between lashing out her rage and being a decent leader for others who do not deserve her rage*

[11:48] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: It was more than just the weaponry...

[11:48] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran just chilled with the Deltas, blissfully unaware that their ride was gone.*

[11:48] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: Petty Officer Morgan Smythe and Crewman Galbir are with him.*

[11:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Catherine?

[11:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "Indeed, But the weaponry is the one thing that stands out to me more then everything else. That should not be possible"

[11:49] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes?

[11:49] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: Ofcourse...you alerted the away team we were forced to withdraw and they are currently without orbital support?

[11:49] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "We fought some of the most advanced species there is in the LMC, and not even they where capeble of that. If there is a threat of that magnitude this close to DS9. It needs to be passed to command"

[11:50] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Teamworks the name of the game people... let's start fixing the engine so Nalie does shaft us for it later.

[11:50] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: doesn't*

[11:50] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I sent a message containing as much down to the planet...whether they received it or not...I could not tell you.

[11:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow- Well it is not like we were given the time to confirm such

[11:51] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "They are aware they would not have orbital support, and I.. think Captain asada realizes when his comm is not being picked up they are on their own"

[11:51] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Smythe] We ain't the ones who write on walls, Ensign.

[11:51] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: My commnt was not an indictment of you or Lieutenant Baker Lieutenant

[11:52] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Pretty calm, all things considered.

[11:52] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *Damian stops and stares at Morgan* Seriously.. really.... we're going there now?

[11:52] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: "I know. I am worried about them to, It feels like we where forced to abandon our own after beign cheated on... and betrayed from within"

[11:52] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We do this right, it'll stay that way.  We're trying not to draw attention after all."

[11:52] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Smythe] You think people forgot just because they forgave you? *He smirks as he starts accessing a console.*

[11:53] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Much as I'd love the excuse to put this girl to use..." *she hefted her rifle with a grin.*

[11:53] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Ferocious there, ma'am.

[11:53] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: HOw about you come back when you get the full pip there buddy.. *begins walking over to one of the various access panels*

[11:54] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] There are six of our Delta down there...if they run into trouble they have a fighting chance.

[11:55] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "You're damn right."  *She frowned then.*  "Though we shouldn't be staying exposed like this.  Much as I'd hate to huddle in a church with a bunch of dead bodies, might be a good idea until the scan..

[11:55] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: finishes."

[11:56] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Let's get inside, then.

[11:56] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] He's got fight.

[11:57] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She motioned to the door.*  "You heard 'em," *she said to the team, waiting until everyone else was inside.*

[11:58] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Gotta learn how to start swinging those fists one way or another.. *sighs and gets to work on diagnosing the problems with the impulse engines*

[11:58] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Everyone goes inside except Dom.* After you.

[11:59] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *She gave him a bemused look before heading inside.*

[12:00] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: V'Tira, Baker. In the readyroom, please

[12:01] [DOIC1] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Yes ma'am.

[12:01] [DOIC1] Desiree@Illuice: Woodrow, you have the conn.

[12:01] [DOIC1] V'Tira@Isis.: -sets her console to continue go over what she was looking for and quietly follows-

[12:03] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *walks in to the readyroom and leans on the console*

[12:03] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: **Table

[12:03] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] What?

[12:03] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "We have two rather complicated situations on our hands, and I wish to hear your advice, and prepare you"

[12:03] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Smythe] If you start swinging after a little ribbing we have problems...sir.

[12:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -enters quietly and listens and nods-

[12:04] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "First, We are likely going to be towed to DS9, as we need repairs and facilities to go trough what gone wrong. This just do not hapend. It is impossible. Our people also know it is impossible, and >

[12:05] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > morale is very low. This following a highly classified mission with to much at stake... what we can not really have, is someone drowning their sorrow on DS9 and begin to talk, as suddenly there >

[12:06] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Forget it.  But I'm thinking, the Protector's probably a lot better equipped to run a scan for Demor's location than the tricorder, especially in a damned city."

[12:06] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > will be rummors or worse all over, and with a morale this bad. I am genuinely worried. But keeping people prisoner on the ship is equally... not good"

[12:06] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Come on now, right off the bat like that? *glances back at him* He's not even klingon, I would've never swung first.

[12:06] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] Haven't been able to get anything since we touched down.

[12:07] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "No?"  *She frowned at that and tried her own com.  She paused.*  "Now that's not good."

[12:08] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] I expected it based on the situation. Bringing six of us along was a good idea.

[12:08] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] Morgan was probably saving that one for a while.

[12:08] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I would love to hear your thoughts, and you do not need to spend time on being formal, or politically correct"

[12:09] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Based on the current situation...I would say Starfleet ordering both ships out of the picture is unlikely.

[12:09] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Bet everyone's been saving up on shit to say to me.. *eyes Galbir warily*

[12:09] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Afterwards perhaps we will have to be towed, but right now I would very much doubt it.

[12:09] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: *Aloran drew in a breath and huffed it out her nose.*  "Let's just hope any of this turns out to be a good idea in the end."

[12:10] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, We are crippeled, and something is making this ship un-spaceworthy. A runnabout stood more chance back there then us. When command reads the report, they will send anotehr ship in with the>

[12:10] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] There's no profit in it, heeeeu-mon. *The Ferengi woman sneers.*{

[12:10] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > amaranthe and ground the rpotector pending full investigations."

[12:10] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *man

[12:11] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I don't think there is time for that.

[12:11] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If you ask me, we will be asked to make the best of it until the situation is resolved.

[12:11] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "There is always some ship at DS9"

[12:12] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Uh huh.. right.. course there isn't.. *continues to eye her*

[12:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Catherine you are aware en entire fleet other than our own..covers this sector

[12:12] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] We'll see.

[12:12] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I appriciate your input, but I do not share it, we are filling nearly all critera for complete unspaceworthyness and being locked down for invesitation. and Cardassia is -very- close at warp 9 to >

[12:13] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > DS9. Where we faar faar far from anythign else... then maybem jsut maybe. But with what hapened today. I do not think theyd do even that"

[12:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks between each of them quietly-

[12:14] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If you wish me not to be formal, or even political correct, then I think you are drastically overestimating the situation.

[12:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -raises a brow at Catherine at this-

[12:14] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Our shields did not perform well but the ablative armor is still online and functional.

[12:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: a system that was already damaged

[12:14] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *looks very sceptic at baker*

[12:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy looks to V'Tira.* The recently installed plating, yes, but the generators are fine and functioning normally.

[12:15] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Our ablative armour did nothing against a ship that should tactically have no bite against us, not untill we activated the ablative generators did it do anything"

[12:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Not to mention our return fire against what should have been technologically inferior raider class ships was quite ineffectfice

[12:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: ineffective*

[12:16] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "With the generators, we are withotu phasers, And we are low on torpedoes"

[12:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The plating was installed midfield with EVA suits.

[12:16] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *midflight

[12:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -closes her eyes and looks down to her boot-tips-

[12:17] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Some individual plats, Not the whole system. and even if Nalie's people would given us subpar ablatives, it does not explain the catastrophic failure of our shields"

[12:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It does not, but the generators give us protector outside of basic shielding. As for our own weapons that I cannot explain, perhaps there is a factor at play we are unaware of.

[12:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: The enemy shots...did not seem to have a similar effect on the Amarante....though our sensors did not show anything beyond stard cardassian weapons in use Desiree

[12:18] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: standard*

[12:19] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: And against standard cardassian weapons, we should not have had a bleedtrough at 70%... and even with all they thre at us, we maybe would be at that 70%. not catastrophic failure

[12:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not disgree..I am merely relaying what the sensor readouts post battle are showing

[12:19] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] What?

[12:19] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes. Thank you"

[12:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and Catherine.if we were not crippled...why were we forced to be towed out of the system?

[12:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We still have people on the surface

[12:20] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "We will."  *The Bajoran began to pace by the door in the same manner as she had in the armoury.*

[12:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I think Desiree's reaction to said decision says everything that needs to be said about the decision.

[12:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -again quirks a brow-

[12:21] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *Taps away on the screen as he IDs the damaged subsystems* What? I know people got lines lined up, waiting to be said at me.. Let's hear it. It's ok. my hands are busy for the moment.

[12:21] [DOIC5] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Dom] You and pacing.

[12:22] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] Lines?

[12:22] [DOIC5] Aloran Vieya@liorexus: "Gotta keep the blood flowing.  Dunno when things'll start going south."

[12:22] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Quirks a brow as well*

[12:23] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy covers her mouth to mute a laugh.* You are rubbing off on her...

[12:24] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Yeah lines?..Jabs at me for what I did.. *jerks his head over in the direction of the petty officer* He manned up.. will you?

[12:24] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I am sorry, I do not even find this fun. So lets play with the idea we are giving the suicide order to return, What do we got? We have Ablative generators that proved to work , but at somewhat >

[12:25] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] You are /asking/ to be jabbed?

[12:25] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > suboptimal parameters, but lets count them. And while whatever is wrong with our phasers makes me hesitant to even wish to mention them... with the generators, we can not use phaers regardless. so >

[12:26] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > our offense is down to a limited supply of torpedoes with an inherent guedeance computer flaw... That is all we are now? Ablative generators and a handfull of unreliable torpedoes?"

[12:26] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: Not physically.. no.. verbally..

[12:30] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] We should be working on a way to get our shields back online so we can utilize the pulse cannons as well.

[12:30] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] You are /asking/ to be jabbed?

[12:30] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: blinks at that-

[12:30] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, The issue is not to get the shields online. Something is massively unexcusebly wrong with them."

[12:31] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Untill that fault is found, We do not for all practicality have shields"

[12:31] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *glances around* Sure why not.. have fun.

[12:31] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy sighs.* They have worked fine before, I feel we do not have all the information here.

[12:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: That much is clearly obvious

[12:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I do not know how we can just write this off purely to the ship when we have /seen/ with our own eyes what it can do!

[12:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy says, clearly frustrated.*

[12:32] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] I refuse.

[12:33] [DOIC4] Damian@the5of435: *olling his eyes* Youre not going to get in trouble..

[12:33] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -stunned- Catherine, were you not fully conscious during that engagement?

[12:33] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, Our shields are state of teh art, and it should be absolutely impossible that three cardassian raiders could get us down to to any bleedtrough, and even less a complete disable. So untill we >

[12:33] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > udnerstand the picture... we in all practical applications, do not have shield"

[12:33] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose and lets Desiree continue-

[12:34] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Then have engineering study all the sensor readings! There /has/ be something we've missed.

[12:34] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, That is why I am saying we need to get to a station and have someone tear apart everything untill we find out what on betazoid is wrong here"

[12:35] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy narrows her eyes at Desiree.* I am not going to spend time twiddling my thumb at a station while the captain and Aloran are on the planet, shields be damned!

[12:35] [DOIC4] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Galbir] Where is the profit in it?

[12:36] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "So you want to send in the remainder of the people on this ship to save 7 lives, when all we have is a handful of torpedoes, half-working ablative generators, damaged engines and an all low morale?>

[12:36] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > while in the time we need to even not need ot be humilatingly towed, any ship with warp 9 can come to take our place from DS9?"

[12:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Catherine...by such a declaritive statement...to the ranking officer in command..one might take such a comment as muitinious

[12:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I know you could not have meant that

[12:38] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: I asked her to say exactly what she thinks, not as a subordinate, but as a voice of advice, teh same is for you, V'Tira

[12:38] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy glares at V'Tira.* I thought this was a discussion free of 'being formal or politically correct'.

[12:38] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: And she is free to disagree as much as she likes with what I think. That is why I ask for others oppinion, not to be confirmed ot be right, but to see new aproaches

[12:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: None the less that came very close to crossing a line Desiree

[12:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Regulations still apply

[12:39] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If you honestly think it implies mutiny then you do not know me as well as you think.

[12:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: this has little to do with Social Justice Catherine

[12:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You are overeacting to my statement...and are becoming overly emotional

[12:39] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Very well, For fairness and to not put you in an unjust situation *Removes her combadge and her rank pips and places them on the table* This conversation is not me as your commanding officer.

[12:40] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy does the same, trying to conceal the fact that she was in fact very upset.*

[12:40] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -takes no similar action-

[12:40] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I want to save those people, and you saw how angry I was at the bridge whe nforced to betray them. But to be sent back in now is a death sentence for everyone else on the ship... and if help is at >

[12:41] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > DS9. Help that does not suffer catastrophic failure and space unworthyness... as much as -I- want revenge, -I- want to be there to get our people home... >

[12:41] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > I rather see someone who can do something aside from die sent in to give our friends a chance, then send these brave... beautiful men and women in to a situation where they can only die"

[12:42] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Tries to not show how sad she is, or how clsoe she is to tears, or bursting out in anger*

[12:43] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If we do go to DS9 and undergo what you suggest I do not see how we will contribute at all to this. You will be sending another ship in, with a crew unfamiliar with the situation.

[12:43] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -seems utterly calm and devoid of any emotion-

[12:43] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Do you belive DS9 has a spare ship?" *Seems ike a genuine question*

[12:44] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I don't know, I never considered asking or checking while we were there.

[12:45] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I belive in this crew, thou I feel rather sure that they lsot all ability to belive in me as a leader. But it is -NOT- the fault of this crew what occured tonight. And I would take them anyone, if >

[12:45] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > they would still follow me"* Seems really sad at that* "But... Not in a ship that will be nothing but their tomb... If we can get a ship that is not having unexplaineble issues... We could still be>

[12:45] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > there"

[12:46] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Deep space Nine has the Defiant of course under the command of Captain Kurland...not to mention there is a fleet that covers this sector

[12:47] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: though those veseels may be out of position in rgards to Deep Space Nine

[12:47] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Of course, But asking to take someones active ship is a great deal different then ask for a ship not in use"

[12:47] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The Defiant...a Sao Paolo class would give our crew the best chance to adapt on the fly

[12:47] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -rubs the bridge of her nose and goes silent again-

[12:48] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I guess we could explain the situation and ask?"

[12:50] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.* Tibs has aided the captain in the past...he might listen.

[12:50] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *sighs and looks at the floor* "Any other sugestions?"

[12:51] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: May I point out something that has been overlooked?

[12:52] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Please"

[12:52] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...you can not make such a decision now as whether to return or not now.

[12:52] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: It is out of your hands

[12:53] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: To return to Cardassia or to DS9?

[12:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed....you are unable to make such a command decision at present

[12:54] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy is taking slow deep breaths, trying to calm down.*

[12:54] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: I suppose...  Thou I could force us to dock

[12:54] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You can not do that either

[12:55] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Not untill we have our engines back, no... thou tis strange that with one engine still working we need a tow.

[12:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree -softly yet professionally- from the moment Commander Muri enacted Regulation 191, Article 14 , this ship became but a part of the two ship task force now commanded bythe Amarente

[12:56] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You can not make such deployment decisions ... Only the Commander can now

[12:56] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods, wincing.*

[12:57] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Yes, And he is likely going to send me to a hearing for protesting, the little weasel... But if he wishes to do regulation wars, I can fight a war back

[12:57] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Are we currently, at this time, in combat?

[12:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I again do not disagree..but the priority is our people back on Cardassian

[12:58] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] No.

[12:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We have people under fire..so yes..we are engaged in combat

[12:58] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: I disagree, V'Tira. Our priority, is to not have the remainign compliment of this ship die unessesarily, when solutions exists so readily elsewhere

[12:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We are still in the theater of operations...hence he still has tactical command of what is now a battle group

[12:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I merely pointing out regulations Desiree....I am not taking sides

[1:00] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: When the time comes, as the defacto commanding officer of this ship at this time. It is for me to decide if I consider us to still be in combat, and for me to live with the consequenses of my actions

[1:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Your ship..pur ship is now a part of a pro-tem battle group..under his command

[1:00] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: And I will cite GENERAL regulation 17. wich is by its nature of more value...

[1:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: our ship*

[1:02] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "And I can chalange it to starfleet command, as by being higher ranking does not mean you can take the responcebility of a commanding officer away from someone unless they are in the same chain of >

[1:02] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > command, and he is not"

[1:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not disagree..but you will be relieved...until starfleet command cna settled this...and the Protector will more than liekly still have to go into battle

[1:04] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I do not belive our supperiors would send a ship unable to fight in to battle. Still general order 17"

[1:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Regulation 191, Article 14 still applies and has been invoked...yu are in command of the ship...but are now answerable to his command as a part of his battle group

[1:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: It will take a week or more to relay this to our starbase...and twice as long to get their response

[1:05] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "And as I deem it we are not in combat, I take the chosie to test it to a superior officer. and otherwise I will take it that a general order weights heavier then a normal regulation"

[1:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: This is what i waned the captain about prior to our deployment to this sector so far away from our home fleet

[1:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Again I agree Desiree but likely you will be relieved..and this willbe settled after

[1:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not wish to see this happen

[1:06] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It does make one long for the Large Magellanic Cluster...

[1:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -softly- or for another ship

[1:06] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "My career is not important, if I can save all people on this ship from being sent in to a ship uncapeble of battle"

[1:06] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: **In to battle on a ship

[1:07] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy places a hand on her heart.* Your career may not be important to you...and your heart may be in the right...but your career is important to us.

[1:07] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] If we can find a way to perserve both we will.

[1:08] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Baker, This ship is right now absolutely useless. It is better to go in on a runaboat from teh Amaranthene. And regardless if my career is important or not, the lives of my crew is to be considered Z

[1:08] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > sacred. above any personal careers, Agendas or material costs.

[1:09] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] V'Tira just wants to prevent an either or situation if she can.

[1:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Again I was not disagreeing...only quoting the regulations and predicting the very plausable outcome

[1:10] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "So do I. But I will do -anything- to stop these beautiful, lovely people that has become so important during this year fro mdyign in a unspaceworthy ship becourse some weazel needs his power trip"

[1:11] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "So if we have an option that allows us to do what is right, without throwing lives away. Then tell me. I will listen"

[1:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not yet have any additional information to add to the overall tactical assessment.

[1:14] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods to V'Tira's statement.*

[1:15] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Good, I guess I can even pull Regulation 3 on the weasel, if we really wants to play the rules *clences her fist untill her long nails draws some blood from her palm*

[1:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy reaches down to her fist and puts a hand over it.*

[1:18] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *sighs deeply* "Very well, we have some time to view our options, but this ship is not returnign to combat untill we are sure that it is not a pure deathsentence to not benifit. and that we are a>

[1:19] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > escort class vessel, nor a shuttle. Next topic" *she pauses, either to let the others speak or to control herself*

[1:19] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy does not speak and instead just hugs Desiree.*

[1:20] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -merey waits silently-

[1:20] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "We can wait with hugs for a few more, I fear that if I let this out, any slim rationality I have left will be lost, and I can not allow that now" *seems even more sad*

[1:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] I do not need to be a telepath to know that you needed one. *She releases Desiree and steps back.*

[1:22] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -softly- I can assist in you stabilzing if you wsh Desiree

[1:22] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "There is a very real possebility that the chain of command will... change"

[1:25] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira, wen we are done in here, I will for the formality of it record you as third officer. a decition effecting imediately and up the the captain to lated change. With the current situation, this >

[1:25] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > makes you the acting second officer.

[1:25] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quirks a brow at this news-

[1:26] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: This is temporary, But with the captain away and... with what there is a grand risk of hapening, Its important the chain of command is clear

[1:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Indeed

[1:26] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[1:27] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: The weasel may remove me from command, and if so, I wish that you are ready for it

[1:28] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods-

[1:28] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] She is.

[1:29] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Do you feel ready, Baker?

[1:30] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy licks her lips before replying.* Yes.

[1:31] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Good, As there is another probability. With the disaster today. It is quiet likely thsoe on this ship has lost any ability to trust or look to me as their leader, futher damaging morale>

[1:31] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > if that is the case, I will remove myself from my position, take the blame for teh failure and let people mentaly get a new start with some sense of hope... if that helps their survival"

[1:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] That is simply not the case.

[1:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I concur with Catherine for the first time of the evening

[1:32] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy gives V'Tira a slight smile.*

[1:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -remains impassive-

[1:32] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "It does not matter what the case it, Baker. IF this is one of those 'White lies' that could raise the morale and give people a needed glimpse of hope that they need here. It is a small prise to pay"

[1:33] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Naturally, it is something I hope does not hapend. But if it comes to it, It will be done if it helps people surive"

[1:33] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You know me far better than to lie to you Desiree

[1:34] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, Still its quiet the possebility after an disaster like this, people needs someoen to blame, to feel like something has changed to feel hope for things can be made good"

[1:34] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: If this is the case...then I may a suggestion

[1:35] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Please"

[1:35] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] So...pulling the goaltender?

[1:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Go against your instinct here

[1:35] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Waiy for the repair reports from Nalie's people and then go from there

[1:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[1:36] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "my instinct is to preserve lives. as many as possible. It is not something I wish to go against. And I am not sure I know what a goaltender is?"

[1:36] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy shakes her head.* It was a silly analogy.

[1:37] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I will wait for the report. But with that person now above me, I feel I need my contingency plans laid out to be acted on imediately before he sends our people to thier death"

[1:37] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: There is no goaltender in baseball..and you are missing my point

[1:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Desiree...look at me and please...focus...calm yourself within

[1:38] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I am sorry. I can not calm right now" *She looks at V'Tira*

[1:38] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] It's alright...I was not earlier either.

[1:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Will induge me just...for a moment?

[1:39] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "You have more then one moment of me, V'Tira. you know that"

[1:40] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -quietly removes her combadge finally and her pips. she then walks over and sets them down besides those of Desiree and Catherine's-

[1:41] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *watches*

[1:41] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -walks over to her and takes her hands gingerly, she leans in and tenderly rests her forehead to hers. her voice soft, even yet gentle-....I want you to close your eyes for me

[1:41] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *closes her eyes*

[1:42] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I want for you ...-softly lets one of her fingers caress the back of Desiree's hand- ..to picture your 'weasel'

[1:42] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Create and image of him in your mind...-her tone still gentle and even-

[1:43] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Thinks of Muri*

[1:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -still soft and gentle- now..picture him...naked...

[1:44] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy watches on silently, then starts giggling.*

[1:44] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Eeew?

[1:44] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -squeezes her hands tenderly- Trust me...

[1:44] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Thinks of a naked Muri*

[1:45] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Now....picture him -gently nose nuzzles to punctuate each word tenderly- stradling an upside down machine the humans call a 'lawnmower' whle it is running at high speed while he sits on it...

[1:46] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Ouch?"

[1:47] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Oh yes...picture this...would it not be a painful situation for your weasal?

[1:47] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy covers her mouth with both hands.*

[1:48] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I am not very fond of that kind of torture. I do not wnat him dead, Just out of our lives"

[1:48] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Then..picture your naked weasal as a cartoon character in his blue nakedness

[1:48] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Can you do that?

[1:49] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: Blue?

[1:49] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] She has the most creative imagination

[1:49] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *think of a cartoony blue orion*

[1:49] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Oh yes......now picture him with raw stakes tied around his waist

[1:50] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: That is gross?

[1:51] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -tenderly- Just see it...and just beyond him he sees you....standing new the lever to a hungry pack of goofy looking cartoon dogs

[1:51] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *nods*

[1:51] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and you have a devilish grin on your face as you place you hand on the lever

[1:51] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] This is getting bizarre...

[1:51] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: See....his overly alarmed cartoon reaction

[1:52] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Nods, smiling a little under her distressed expression*

[1:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Him shaking his head no no no while sweating cartoon sweat....and you looking all angelic...with a little Catherine on your shoulder n a sexy devil's outfit whispering into your ear

[1:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Do picture it...do you see this?

[1:53] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *smiles some more and nods*

[1:53] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Now as he wonders what Catherine could possibly be wshipering..he comically begins to fill out a cartoon will

[1:54] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy blushes at the thought.*

[1:54] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: in mad desperation ..as he remains at your mercy

[1:54] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *nods as she keeps listening and picturing what V'Tira tells her*

[1:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Tell me Desiree...what does Evil Sexy Catherine whisper to you,,what is she teling you to do with that lever....those dogs really desire steaks

[1:55] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: And Cartoon Muri does not wish to share

[1:56] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "She tells me to let em have it, so I can play with her instead"

[1:56] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy's cheeks are flushed now as she grabs onto the shelf.*

[1:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -softly feinging shock- Does she....so,,,what will you do Desiree...as you look up picture him holding up a comically tiny sign that reads 'Yipe!'

[1:57] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -purrs gently to her lmost seductively- so what do you do?

[1:57] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Let the dogs out and play with baker?"

[1:58] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Picture that...and his comically reaction of pure 'Oh Noes' he breaks the fourth wall looks to us and shows us the ther side of the tiny side that reads 'EEEP!" before he takes off being chased by

[1:59] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: barking hungry cartoon dogs...-presses her forehead to her- can you see you this??

[1:59] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *nods, biting her lower lip as she offers a soft smile*

[2:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -says in a gentle voice- hear the mad barking...hear the occasional "owch!  No! No! Bad Dog! SIT! OH GOD!

[2:00] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -sweetly- can you see this all..truly?

[2:01] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Try to 191 those dogs and see who is most tactically superiour..."

[2:01] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Ohh... euhmm, yes, I see it"

[2:01] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Now..keep this image...and let it warm your heart every time...you are forced to deal wth him

[2:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: See him as being naked...desperate to save his green tushie from being bitten by a large pack of hungry cartoon dogs

[2:02] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *nods*

[2:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: See him as being naked...desperate to save his green tushie from being bitten by a large pack of hungry cartoon dogs

[2:02] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "You said he was blue"

[2:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Its an old cartoon

[2:02] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: the color fades in and out -openy fibs-

[2:03] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Oooh... I did not know that"

[2:03] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -nods- it is a well known fact

[2:03] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I guess I missed that class of human culture"

[2:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: See?? I can teach you things...

[2:04] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] How do you know so much about our culture?

[2:04] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: So from now on...see him as a blue-green weasal being chased by a pack of hungry cartoon dogs

[2:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks at Catherine in what might be mild shock- Humans have such cartoons as well??

[2:05] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "But... then what are we, if we are forsed to be his gimps?"

[2:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We are the owners of the dogs

[2:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: In time..we will have his steaks to feed to our dogs

[2:05] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Oooh... Where are you in this picture?"

[2:05] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Me?

[2:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I am elsewhere...Ifor I am providing you and sexy devil over there an alibi

[2:06] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -said matter of factly-

[2:06] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Can't you be in an angel outfit?"

[2:07] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy shakes her head.* I cannot imagine what a Vulcan cartoon would be like...

[2:07] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "ITs logical to asume those cartoons are logical"

[2:07] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -looks to Desiree- you may dress me up in whatever you wish Desiree

[2:08] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *nods*

[2:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -steps back enough to lift one hand and run just two of her fingertips down along Desiree;s jaw- Do not let him rob you of your confidence and control due to your emotions..do not doubt yourself

[2:08] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: For Catherine and I do not

[2:09] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods.*

[2:09] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -reaches out for Catherines hand-

[2:10] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "It is not him... Its the entire situation here. It does not make sense"

[2:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: No...but we will discover what is going on

[2:10] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy reaches forward to take her hand.*

[2:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -guides Cathy forward to join them-

[2:10] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You have us behind you

[2:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: there for the odds against failure are drastically reduced

[2:11] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "What if we discover that on our very backdoor its something with weapons that makes what we find in the LMC seem weak?"

[2:11] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Then I imagine this sector is going o be come very very busy

[2:12] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Though I do not believe this will be the case

[2:13] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: *Nods* "I do not want to send these people in to a fight they can not even fight" *Tries to embrace them both*

[2:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -places Cathys hand into Desiree's free one so they holds hands ina circle-

[2:13] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy does so.*

[2:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -actualyl hugs back firmly this time-

[2:13] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We will not..we will have our answers before we do so

[2:13] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy hugs the pair.*

[2:14] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -rests her forehead to theirs- Logical or not..i believe we will find those answers and overcome

[2:14] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I hope we find a spaceworthy ship"

[2:15] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods to V'Tira.*

[2:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We will make one of the protector

[2:15] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I trust in Nalie's ability

[2:16] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Its clearly not about nalie, she would not stand for such a catastrophic failure. There is something else"

[2:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We will find it

[2:16] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: once you remove all that is possible..only the impossible remains

[2:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: There is an answer...we will find it and counter it

[2:17] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "What hapened tonight is impossible"

[2:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and we will find out why it occured then

[2:17] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Since it happened...it has to have a pssible reason

[2:18] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I can think of only two, and if those are true, this ship is not going to the slaughter"

[2:18] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Not directly related...but I have seen things in the LMC I would deem impossible.

[2:19] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We all have Catherine...but not aboard Cardassian ships...I remind you...we fought an won a battle against this "Dark's' forces in the LMC

[2:20] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] The nature of such victory was brought into question by you after the battle.

[2:21] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] Who is to say the Dark's influence is not at work here in a way we do not understand?

[2:21] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "You said it yourself, those raiders looked like the pathetic things they are, with standard cardassian weapons. That is impossible, the explanations would be that someone has given them tech on par >

[2:21] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > with what exists in the LMC. and if this ship stands absolutely no fighting chance, nor a chance to make any difference. No sane officer in the galaxy will accept the men and woman on this ship to >

[2:21] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > die for nothing"

[2:23] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: it wil not be for nothing...we still have shipmates back there

[2:24] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "V'Tira. If we go there, with the only offencie arsenal to speak of being a handfull of torpedoes, with no way to really defend ourself to get anywhere near our friends, with the most pathetic beigns>

[2:24] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: We just need to weigh the rsks and find counter measures

[2:24] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: > in the cardassians naval register beign able to absolutely devastate us... Friends or not, all we do is die"

[2:24] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I understand

[2:25] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: but this has only just occured...let us investigate it first before it is deemed suicidal

[2:25] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Untill we have a way to atleast stand a fighting chance, we do absolutely nothign for our friends by going there to die"

[2:25] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not disagree...but we need to investigate first

[2:26] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes, Thou I hold little hope for such an investigation due to how devastating the faulures of no effort on their behalf was"

[2:26] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "What if it had been one of their actual ships?"

[2:26] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Well then I ask..why was it not?

[2:27] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Becourse the quick, really subpar raiders had us absolutely devastated before any real vessel could get in range"

[2:29] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I do not think this is entirely what happened....

[2:30] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "We where cripeled by three vessels that should have absolutely no chance in the galaxy to do even half of what they did if we did not even try to defend ourself"

[2:30] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: So we must seek out the why

[2:30] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: SO we can logically counter it

[2:31] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Starfleet should seek out why, with some ship that stands a chance, not being a deathtrap"

[2:31] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Yes..but it falls to us

[2:31] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Because well..we are here

[2:32] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: and it happene dto us and we recorded it

[2:33] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "No one will benifit from our records when we are actual spacedust"

[2:34] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: Lets try and investigate first Desiree

[2:35] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Yes... lets see if the investigation comes up with anything to sugest that returning is not suicide"

[2:38] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: A most logivcal command decision

[2:39] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy nods*

[2:39] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "Hardly"

[2:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: I will continue to compliment you Desiree....even if it is against your wishes when i think you do soemthing correct

[2:39] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: You are just stuck with me like this

[2:41] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: *Cathy smiles.*

[2:41] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "lucky me"

[2:42] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: If i ever annoy you Desiree...you need only to ask and I will walk away

[2:43] [DOIC3] Desiree@Illuice: "I love you, V'Tira. I never want you to walk away"

[2:43] [DOIC3] V'Tira@Isis.: -lowers her head some- Then logically I will remain and continue as I always do

[2:43] [DOIC3] DGMAngelboy@ClingingMars: [Baker] My feelings are the same.
