<<<<<Begin Mission>>>>>

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::at the tactical station, priming what serves to resemble this ship's weapons::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Can these sensors lock on two targets at the same time?
CP_Salan says:
::at the helm prepared for evasive maneuvers::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::starts to finish pluging in the rest of the odn lines into the shield generator::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
::pulling up everything they know on the Romulan fighter, it being the unexpected entrant into the fight::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL: Red Alert!!!
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: These sensors can do just about anything you want... more or less, commander. ::sounds red alert whilst he talks:: Question is, with these weapons, can we take both at the same time. That... I can't say.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::hears the red alert alarms going off::
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
::Standing in engineering ready to assume any needed position::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::press a few buttons on the generator and turns the unit online::

ACTION: The red alert lights blink, but the klaxon begins to warble after about five seconds

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Target weapons on the Cardassian, and shields on the Romulan
CP_Salan says:
::takes a deep breath::
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: Aye. ::makes the appropriate target locks::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP:  Prepare for evasive maneuvers
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Arca to Bridge sir whats going on up there?

ACTION: The Romulan vessel begins to head towards the Crux.  They fire forward weapons.

CP_Salan says:
::tries to bank hard right::
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
All: Brace for impact. Hold, shields... just a while.

ACTION: The Cardassians continue heading towards the planet.

CE_Lt_Arca says:
::stands up and starts to move back to engineering::
CP_Salan says:
CO:I'm on it sir.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: Recommend we keep close to the Cardassians. The Romulan scout is secondary.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*: We have company Mister Arca... we're gonna need as much power as you can spare to the shields.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP:  Intercept the Cardassian.

ACTION: The initial volley misses, but another round of phaser fire hits the left side of the Nova class vessel.

XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS: Can we hold together long enough to take out the Cardassian first, with the Scout firing on us?
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir I just finished installing the runabout shield generator it should help out
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::touches the wall with his hand as the ship shakes::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Stop that Cardassian.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
XO: They should. We'll know in a minute. ::resets targeting for the Cardassian ship's engines and opens fire::
CP_Salan says:
::banks hard right::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*: We have Romulans and they don't appear to want to play nice.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::reaches engineering and pulls up sensor readings and ship status::
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
::Following the CE::

ACTION: The Crux's phasers strike the Cardassian's shields.  They retaliate with their aft wave disruptors.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
IO:  Can we contact Starfleet?
CP_Salan says:
::puts the ship in a dive::
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: ::readying a torpedo and aiming it for the Cardassians' engines:: I wouldn't recommend it. We're all supposed to be on shore leave, remember?

ACTION: The disruptor strikes the top of the Crux.  The Romulan ship is banking, and bringing their weapons to bare.

CP_Salan says:
::pulls up::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
CO: Sir, if we can get the Romulan shields down, there's a chance that we can destroy their whole ship, and anything nearby it...  ::points to her console::  See the torpedo storage?  They have 40 of them, and they're not located very far into the ship - if we hit the armory with enough force we could force all of said torpedos to explode.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*: How are our tractor emitters holding up Lieutenant?
CP_Salan says:
CO: We need to get rid of one of these ships sir or we're not gong to last long.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::readies 3 torpedoes, and switches target priorities, aiming for the forward section of the Romulan ship and lays down defensive fire::

ACTION: The Romulans unleash a flurry of torpedoes.

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
All: Enemy torpedoes incoming!
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::starts to shut down all any system they didn't need and transfers the power to the shields and SIF
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO: majqa' Target their shield generators and launch one of our torpedoes
CP_Salan says:
::banks hard right while pulling up::
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
CE: What do you need me to do?
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS: You heard the man - get the Romulan shields down, let me know the instant you do.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
XO: Aye. ::waits for the torpedoes to register impact, and follows immediately up with phasers::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: Watch the power levels and make sure the shields have enough power

ACTION: The Romulans take the phaser fire on the nose, weakening their forward shields.  But several of the torpedoes strike - hard.  The Crux's sole torpedo launcher goes offline

CP_Salan says:
CO: Sir, request permission to do something crazy?
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::slams his fist on the console:: All: That's that. Torpedoes are out.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir there are still some emitters still missing but they are online but with most of the power in the SIF and shield they won't be that strong
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: Permission granted... just don't make me regret it.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CP: Ensign, you heard of a game called 'chicken'?
CP_Salan says:
::puts the Crux on a collision course with the Romulan ship::
CP_Salan says:
AS: That was my plan.
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
::Monitors the power to the shields::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*: Understood

ACTION: The Cardassian ship stops, and holds position above New Haven.  An energy buildup occurs in the fore launcher, and two silver glowing torpedoes slowly leave the ship.  The Cardassian ship is blown backwards for what seems like no reason.

CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: This power levels are not going to last for long were probably looking at an overload. I need to know when that going to happen.
CP_Salan says:
::increase to maximum speed::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Target those Cardassian torpedoes and fire!

ACTION: The Romulans, in close proximity, panic and begin to fire their forward phasers over and over again.  The Crux's shields will be gone in ten seconds.

CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir I'm not sure how long I can keep this power levels so high
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
CP: Pull us away from the Romulan ship!
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
CE: Aye. ::Monitors the systems VERY closely::
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::initiates an emergency transport of the 3 loaded torpedoes, aiming for the Romulan's hull:: CP: Get us out of here... now!
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::fires a concentrated phaser burst for one of the torpedoes heading for the planet::
CP_Salan says:
::delays two seconds before breaking off course and heading towards the Cardassian ship::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::hangs on to his console as the ship shakes and sparky spot all over engineering::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: Best speed to intercept those torpedoes!

ACTION: Two phaser blasts strike out from the port side of the Crux, missing the torpedo - but the third strikes.  The silver glow begins to expand into a cloud.

DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
CE: If I am reading it right it looks like we have about 10 seconds left in the shields and 30 to overload.
CP_Salan says:
::tries to increase speed but is already at maximum::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: Thank you lieutenant
CP_Salan says:
::begins to try to override max impulse::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir going to lose our shields in ten seconds and I'm going have to shutdown major ships in thirty seconds to avoid an overload

ACTION: The three torpedoes materialize near the Romulans, and the proximity sets them off.  The shields flicker, taking the harsh energies, but they fall to near 10%.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*: Understood, bring a tractor beam online
CP_Salan says:
::overrides Max Impulse to .4c::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir to do that I'm going to have to transfer most of the power to tractor beam
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::readies another phaser burst and hits the second torpedo as soon as it comes into range::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Can we catch that last torpedo with a tractor beam?
CP_Salan says:
CO: We're going as fast as we will now sir.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: I'm hoping that won't be necessary. I've got weapons ready to take it out when we get close enough. But... if not...
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::powers a tractor beam up and tests the range::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: Lieutenant do you know how to transfer power from the runabout warp core to the ship?
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: Weapons range to that thing in 5 seconds. Go for fire sequence?
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
CE: I could try if you like.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: I'll go I need you to keep this ship together while I'm gone.
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS: Fire when ready - we need to destroy that thing.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::starts to head out and runs toward the shuttle bay::

ACTION: The Romulans are slowly turning for another attack run on the Crux.  The Cardassian ship is slowly turning out of the system.

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
XO: Firing when ready. Aye. ::watches the target indicator light up and discharges the phasers::
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
CE: Yes sir. ::Saying a large prayer under his breath::
CP_Salan says:
::watches intently as he maintains the heading::

ACTION: The phasers miss the torpedo.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Hold off on phasers... it's too close to the atmosphere... we need to pull it back
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::curses, and decides they're torpedo chasing:: CP: Get us into tractoring range. It's too close now.
CP_Salan says:
::maintains heading::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO: Don't lose those Cardassian vorSaq
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::readies the phasers for some defensive fire:: CO: I can probably punch through the Romulans' shields, commander. Not difficult... they're readying for another run.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Take 'em out
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::runs into the shuttle bay and grabs power transfer cables::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
*CE* Any chance you can get our torpedo launcher back on line?  We're going to need it in a moment

ACTION: The Romulans start firing torpedoes at the Crux - and the Cardassian weapon.

CE_Lt_Arca says:
::plugs in the cables to the runabout and to ship:: *CO*: Sir the forward one are online but we only have 12 torpedoes
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::configures a tractor beam to hopefully deflect some of the torpedoes away from the weapon:: CO: They're firing on us... and the bloody weapon!
CP_Salan says:
CO: Can we transport that torpedo while it is in flight?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: Are we in tractor range yet?
CP_Salan says:
CO: 3 seconds sir.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: You've got two choices commander. Transport it in 2 seconds or rope it in in 3. Either way... ::smirks:: think fast.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: Are we in transporter range?
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
::Keeps pressing buttons to make the proper adjustments::

ACTION: The Romulans open fire with their phasers - trying to strike their own torpedoes, creating explosions everywhere.  The Starfleet ship bucks, but holds together.

CE_Lt_Arca says:
::works on the cables and starts to warp core and watches the transfer the power transfer to the ship::

ACTION: The power cables power up, then begin to spark.  The runabout's core begins to off-balance itself.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: I don't care how it's done, but stop that torpedo without destroying it
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*DCO*: Power transfer complete you should see more power coming into the system push it to the tractor beam::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::exits the runabout and makes his way back to engineering
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::nods, and locks transporters, beaming the torpedo to maximum distance in the opposite direction of their ship::

ACTION: The transporters fail to energize.

CP_Salan says:
CO: Sir we are in tractor beam range.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::sees some sparks and heads back to the runabout
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Tractor it out!
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::accesses tractor controls and locks on the beam... praying this works::

ACTION: The torpedo is safely tractored by the Crux.

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CP: I have it! Hard about!
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::see the core is off balance press a few commands and tries to get the core work correctly::
CP_Salan says:
::banks hard left::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS: Is it far enough away from the planet to destroy it without the toxin going into the atmosphere?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Target those romoluSgnan p'taH forward shield generators.  Take 'em out.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::tries to pull the torpedo just slightly closer to the ship:: CO: Commander, this might be slightly illegal, but I say we slingshot it for the Romulan ship. Our priority is the Cardassians.. and they're leaving.

ACTION: As the Crux exposes its weaker port side, the Romulans fire phasers again.  The shields start to fail.

DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
*CE*: No power here Sir.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Agreed
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::heads back to engineering since the runabout core is unstable and squeezed all the energy out of it::
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::curses:: CO: Speaking of that, port shields failing. We cant lose the tractor beam so whatever we do, we do it now.
CP_Salan says:
::pulls up bring the ship about::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*DCO*: I know the runabout core is unstable most have been from the crash
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CP: Ensign, swing us dead onto that Romulan ship. Let me know when we're right at her.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Let's give the Romulans the torpedoes Ensign
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::has his hands over the tractor release control, and lays down cover fire for them::
CP_Salan says:
::follows the AS's lead bringing the Crux on another collision course::

ACTION: The two ships begin to blast each other with phaser blasts.  The Romulan's shields were weaker, and fail in the front.  The Romulans begin to nose dive, to try to bring their top side to bear.

CE_Lt_Arca says:
::see lights starting to flicker and he knew that systems are overloading::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Fire everything we can!
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
*CE*: Sir could we set the core of the shuttle to overload and get it close to the enemy at the time of the breech?
CP_Salan says:
::levels out as the ship moves into collision course::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS:  Transport the torpedoes - target their fore section
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::reaches engineering out of breath:: DCO: Umm... Do.. we.. have.. enough power.. for trans...porters?
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::readies two of their torpedoes, and targets the port and starboard fore sections::
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::tries the transporters... again::

ACTION: Two torpedoes materialize in front of the Romulan vessel - where there are no shields.  Before the Romulans can react, the torpedoes explode.  The blast cascades through the vessel, until it reaches the core.  The core's containment fails, and begins to suck the vessel in on itself.

CE_Lt_Arca says:
Computer: Interlock with the runabout computer and transfer all messing information Crux database
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: And that's the way she goes. One Romulan core... imploding.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO/XO: Now, recommend we go Cardassian hunting. One poorly armed fighter can do a lot of damage with no one asking it nicely to stop.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: Intercept course for the Cardassians.
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
::lets out a breath she didn't realize she'd been holding:: AS: And the Cardassians?

ACTION: The Cardassian vessel has moved away from the fight, starting to dissapear around the planet.

CP_Salan says:
::breaks hard right on course to intercept the Cardassian ship::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*: How are we doing down there Lieutenant?
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS:  Oh, it won't get away.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
XO: They pay me too much for that ship to get away, commander. ::winks::

ACTION: The Romulan core sucks in the vessel, explosions and all, leaving behind a micro black hole.

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: Up side, no more Romulan ship. Down side? That was the most fun I've had in months. ::smirks::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: And fun is a downside?
CP_Salan says:
Self: Never saw action like this on the Pharaoh.
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
CP: How long till we intercept the Cardassians?

ACTION: The Cardassian vessel starts to give off neutrino readings.

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::suddenly develops a bright idea:: CO: Commander, I just remembered. We have a barely functioning warp core we're not using. Deployed properly, we could blind that ship for a minute or five.
CP_Salan says:
XO: Ten seconds to weapons range ma'am.
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
CP: Aye.  AS: You're thinking like a very large matter/antimatter bomb?
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
XO: They're cloaking, it looks like. ::extrapolates as best they can their course::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir I suggest that we recharge the emitter to get shield back up
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
XO: Precisely.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: Don't let them cloak!
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE* Can you get me an anti-proton burst Lieutenant?

ACTION: The Cardassian vessel begins to shimmer out of visible existance.

CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Fire phasers!!!
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::waits for the barely visible targeting indicator to light up, and opens up with phasers::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: Help with this burst we are going to use the main dish

ACTION: The phasers catch the tail of the cloaking vessel, ripping the aft off.  The ship begins to spin, and the neutrinos bleed off in a giant pulse.

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::scans for survivors::
CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: Charge the dish and let me know when its full charged.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: Heavy damage to that ship, commander. They're lacking an aft section.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir this burst is probably going to blow out the main dish and take most of our power so it going to take at least 15 seconds before systems come back on
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO: Do you think they may be willing to talk yet?
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
CO: We can try
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: I've got 5 life signs, commander. Now we just need a place to put them.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*: Belay the anti-protons Lieutenant.  We caught them in time.
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS:  Are their shields functioning?  If we've got enough power for a transport, we can beam them into the brig...
CP_Salan says:
CO: Doesn't this ship have a brig?
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO: Open a channel
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::seats in his seat and exhales a big breath::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: It's been stripped down, but yes.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
DCO: I hope we don't have anymore surprises
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
::opens a channel to the Hedeki::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
COM: Cardassian vessel.  I think we're way past the point of introductions.  Surrender now!
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
CE: I wouldn't count on it sir.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::makes a motion to catch the CP's attention while the CO speaks with the Cardassians::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
*CE*: Do we have medical quarantine fields?  Or emergency forcefields... anything to keep them in one place?

ACTION: The viewscreen snaps to a view of a single Cardassian male.

Host Gul_Ginar says:
@COM: Crux: Very good, Commander.  I'm not surprised that you found me... that merchant will die...
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
XO: Find rope if you have to
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*XO*: Emergency fields are in place but if you using it as a brig I suggest a lower deck so there not in my way
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
COM: Ginar: We all have to die sometime.  But right now you will stand down and surrender.
Host Gul_Ginar says:
@::shakes his head:: COM: Crux: I think not this time, Commander.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::trains the phasers on that ship again, but avoids the warp core... alive is good::

ACTION: The self-destruct system of the Hedeki begins to power.

XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
::moves over to the AS's console and speaks quietly to him:: AS: We have emergency forcefields - we could transport them to one of the lower decks and keep them in a section of the corridor.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS: Can we get a transporter lock on the Cardassians?
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::tries the transporters:: CO: It'll be close. They'll blow in 10 seconds.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
CO: Dammit.. their shields are still up. I suggest we back off. Now.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP:  back us away
CP_Salan says:
::reverses thrust::
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::keeps the weapons trained, just in case they decide to abort::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
AS:  Fire phasers, if he is eager to die, then we will help him on his way.  But be ready with transporters in cas ethe shields go down.

ACTION: The viewscreen blinks off, only to show the Cardassian vessel exploding in a small nova.  The edge of the blast catches the Crux, pushing her backwards, but her shields overload.

AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::extends a hand to steady the XO in case she loses balance:: All: That... was an exploding ship.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::grabs his console as the ship shakes hard and most of the engineering consoles blow out::
CP_Salan says:
::tries to regain control::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
::grabs a nearby console::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
::hangs onto the console, grateful for the AS's help::
CP_Salan says:
::brings the ship steady:: Self: I hate it when that happens.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL: Not the way I would have liked for it to end, but it will do
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: Sir we have blew systems all over the ship I'm going to need alot of time to work this out
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL: Anyone know what the food on Free Haven is like?
CP_Salan says:
CO: Not a clue sir.  Is it hot there?
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
::looks relieved:: CO:  I would have liked to get them alive too... but dead means they can't do any more harm.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
*CE*:  Mission Accomplished Lieutenant.  Take all the time you need.
DCO_LtJg_Burton says:
CE: Great job sir.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
*CO*: We do have navigation and warp in case you need it. Thats good to hear sir.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::sighs, and casts a look to Ashlynn:: XO: Let's just hope the higher ups agree with you.
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: I don't know, but I doubt it's as cold as Andoria
CP_Salan says:
Self: Great.
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::looks at the DCO and holds out his hand:: DCO: Same to you and I'm going to bet you a drink when we get home.
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
AS:  The higher-ups weren't the ones out here - they'll have to take our word for it ::grins::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
CP: Set a course for DS9, warp 2
CP_Salan says:
CO: Yes sir! ::plots out the course and executes warp 2::
CO_CDR_Q`tor says:
ALL: majqa' everyone.  This being a black ops I doubt it will do any good, but I will be recommending commendations for all of you.
CP_Salan says:
CO: Thank you sir.
AS_ENS_Arinoch says:
::winks, and stands up:: XO: True. At least we'll have the night to think about what our version of events will be. ::grins, and lowers his voice faintly:: Shall we compare stories at what will have to serve as my place, for dinner?
CE_Lt_Arca says:
::takes a seat and looks at the damage list and wonders where he should start::
XO_LCDR_Kostandinos says:
::smirks:: AS:  Fine by me.

ACTION: The USS Crux slowly powers up its warp engines, and finally kicks into warp space, in a brilliant rainbow of energy, leaving behind the floating wreckage of one Cardassian vessel, and one micro black hole, still quietly sucking on passing particles.
