USS Avalon NCC 06742-A: Episode V

"What the Future Holds"

Summary:
The USS Avalon picks up a Ferengi ship on long range sensors and decides to follow it. As the ship moves into the Takaran radiation belt, the Avalon decides to make its presence less obvious by shutting down the warp core. A Jem'Hadar battle cruiser decloaks and communicates with the Ferengi vessel, and after working to break the encryption on the transmissions, the Avalon's crew finds the Ferengi discussing a payment and being threatened in return. The transmission breaks off, however, as a temporal anomaly forms, from which a shuttle emerges. The Jem'Hadar ship attempts to attack the shuttle, only to find themselves chased off by the Avalon. The shuttle, which is of Federation make but unfamiliar design, hails the Avalon. When the Avalon answers the hail, the occupants of the shuttle address Fleet Captain Hunter as "dad."


Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:-=[BEGIN SIM]=-
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO]::Stands to one side on the Bridge keeping an eye on things from here. Slightly tense.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The USS Avalon proceeds at warp five to the Kintara sector. The area is full of commerce and seems to be a likely area to find merchant vessels who know something about the presence of a Dominion dreadnaught in the Alpha
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:quadrant.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::moves his chair around his office:: Where should I put it?
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson: [CENG]::He stands in ME, monitoring warp plasma flow ratings and running systematic diagnostics::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::Verkal sat at his station ... ETA was just about ten minutes at their current speed. He pecked at his station, a tad antsy after their last encounter. This had been a tad ... strange lately::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A] ::: Telsia is relaxed from all the off time on Bajor. It was a nice, peaceful time and she'd enjoyed it thoroughly. She looked over the master systems display as she helps out AOPS with the running of the vessel :::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Stands at her station running scans every so often. Occassionally glancing to Helm or the Captain. Her gaze unwavering and cool.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF] ::: Fontane had the bridge. She sat, with her hair up in the forties-ish style she tended to keep her hair in. She was in the center seat and looked to Verkal with a grin ::: I know I've asked this five thousand times... but
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She lets her fingers gracefully flow over the controls like corporeal water, running system checks as well as running passive scans on the immediate space around them.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:... ETA to the Kintara sector?
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][LTCDRF] Nine minutes now ::he said, turning, and cracking his neck, not seeming annoyed in the least::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he nods after pushing the last chair in its place:: Perfecto!
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][HELM] It's a shame ::: she exhales slowly, leaning back ::: that we get stuck with all the intelligence gathering missions.
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She drummed her fingers on the console and adjusted her collar. It was freezing on the bridge to her.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The helm console bleeps extaticly.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::She was relaxed her head tilted. another run of the systems surrepitiously working on the desings for the couplings to the cannon to handle the blasts from the generator.::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he smilies as he leaves his office stepping out on deck 7. He was still amazed with the Avalon, and looked forward to hanging out with her crew more. He turns and walks into the tl:: Bridge
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He gazed up at the huge glowing cylinder of matter and antimatter:: [Warp Core] Easy girl. Don't blow an o-ring on me now.
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] [CMO] ::Keeps an eye on the life sign readings of everyone aboard. just because.::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][LCDRF] So long as I need not worry about evading too much weapons fire, I don't believe I'll need to ... ::he tapped his console, checking on the beeping. Well, not much to say about it:: Seems we need to drop from
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A] ::: turns slightly at the sound of the bleeps then pays it no mind. He guessed that Verkal would deal with it. Moving over to the second tactical station, which had essentially become her second home, she leaned over the edge
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]:::he humms lightily as he enters the bridge::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:and addressed fontane, a bit of light brown hair covering her left lavender eye ::: [LCDRF] You need to relax, Commander, or else you'll blow a gasket.
Ensign Verkal Andora:warp ... ::he took the ship from faster than light travel, checking over his station's systems::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Nods to telsia and nods softly. Telsia was proving herself adept at handling the firing when a crush time came allowing the ship to fire faster. Or be defended when she was running the big guns.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][18A] Well, I never really much cared for commanding ships, I sure seem to draw the card to be up here, however. ::: she turns to verkal ::: [HELM] Is it that time already? [AOPS] Run a scan of the system, identify any ships
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::smilies as he hears the last of the statement from Telsia::[LCDRF] I dont need you in my office yet, Commander.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:in the reigion.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He noticed the cut in power to the nacelles as the ship went to sublight speed. He monitored the impulse reactors closely::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][CNS] ::: turns and blinks, smiling softly ::: Ah, you must be our new Counselor, nice to meet you. ::: she nods and then turns back to AOPS :::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS][LCDRF] Aye. Running system wide scans now. ::She taps a few buttons on her console to initiate the scan, paying very close attention to any anomalies::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::nods::[LCDRF]My pleasure,
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][CNS] ::: looks the new counselor over and smirks. She looks to Liel :::[TAC] How's the cat treating you?
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Blinks at the counselor lifting a brow slightly. An amused look.He hung around in off hours he would find they were all quite nuts.::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] Beautifully she likes toes.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]:::he eyes drift around the bridge as he takes a seat near the command chair. he silentily observing everyone::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She notes several signatures being read by her scan, and bleeps are heard:: [LCDRF] Sir, I've detected vessels in the system. There seem to be Five Ferengi cargo cruisers, a Klingon cargo freighter, and one Federation
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::he nodded checking over the proxy sensors just out of simple paranoia. He rubbed the bridge of his nose, try to work away a bit more tension::
Crewman Recruit Halina:passenger shuttle.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO] ::: Hunter steps onto the bridge from his ready room. He pops his back and nods to them all in turn before stepping over to the helm console. He leans to the right of it and looks at the screen ::: [LCDRF] Well, well, what have
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:we here...?
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::does tactical study on any ship here abouts. Nodding a bit to herself.::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][NOIP] That seems like a lot of traffic.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he blinks as he looks over the Captain::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS][18A] Yes, it does. ::She narrows the scanning field to get more information on the detected vessels::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][TAC] Wonder if we know any of the Ferengi ... ::he said with a dark chuckle::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][CO] It seems that this really is a booming area. ::: she says sarcasticly ::: Only seven vessels in the area right now.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][Co]Is it me, or something wrong with that picture?
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC][HELM] Haha if so then this should get interesting. Information hunting is... fun ... sometimes. ::She smirked slightly.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][CNS] ::: Catches notice of him for the first time. Hunter stands in a class C uniform. It's basically a normal department undershirt, the over tunic is worn like a jacket with cargo pants and military boots to round out the
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:look ::: Nice to see a new face. Wrong with what picture?
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][Co]I would think there would be a bit more traffic here.
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][TAC and HELM] Intelligence hunting hurts sometimes too.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The Operations and Tactical console blink.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He detected an energy fluctuation in the tertiary field induction coil and ran a diagnostic on it::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][TAC] Yes, yes, just remember, when you grab an ear, it's a twisting motion, not a pulling one. You don't wish to strain your elbow now, do you? [HELM][18A] If done right, only for the subject ... ::another little chuckle::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC][NOIP] I'm not seeing anything tactically unu... ::pauses to look over her readings.::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::she noticed a console bleep and averted her attention to it::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::notices Liel and Haline begin to work on their console:: I hope I am wrong.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC][NOIP] Looket him go... ::Pirate burr coming out from her as she watched the ship a ferengi one bug out.:: Wonder what he was hiding.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][TAC] What do you mean? ::: he tilts his head and looks to her ::: Bring a tactical plot on the viewer.
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][CO] Shall I lay in a pursuit course? ::his fingers were at the ready::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She notes a change in velocity by one of the vessels::[CO] Sir, I'm detecting that a Ferengi vessel has exited the system at warp seven. Bearing two three nine by six two two. I believe they are heading for the radiation
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::brings it up on Veiwer for him. Showing the ship scooting fast as possible.::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][HELM] I seem to remember the Nausicans thinking a lot differently...
Crewman Recruit Halina:belt in the next system, sir.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he stands and moves closer to the viewer to look over the plot himself
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF] The Takaran rad belt, huh? ::: she laughs ::: That's dumb...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][HELM] Go for it... but, keep us out of their sensor range.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]:: he scratches his chin for a moment and signs::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She raises a brow at Fontaine's remark, while still facing the viewscreen:: Heh.
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][LCDRF] Why's that dumb? If they go in there, they're fairly secluded right?
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Watches intently her head tilting as she observed everying from her spot.::
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He repairs the field induction coil promptly with the help of an assistant, no worse for the wear::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::turns and spots Brigid.
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][CO] Very well ... I believe I can do so. [ALL] Would someone transfer their max range to my station however ::he set in a course at warp 8 for the time being, and would slow down/speed up as needed::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][18A] In retrospect, that belt has a lot of ion storms and other fenomina... it'd be fairly dangerous for that ships shields... assuming it has the stock generator.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he moves over to the Docter::[CMO]Hello Docter.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][LCDRF] We should have no problem passing through, right? ::: he sits in his chair, leaning back into the leather comfort it provided :::
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Lifts her head slightly being observed. her gaze was cold but for any being that scenced emotions there was a strange duality today.:: [CNS] Hello. ::Her voice cordial.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][CO] We may have some radiation sickness, but I doubt anything fatal.
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][HELM] Oooops, slow down, speed racer. We're entering their sensor range.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he shakes his head::{CMO] What do you think about all of these?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: Just as Telsia suggests, the ferengi are slowing down.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Her head tilted and she laughed a bit.::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][18A] Very well ... ::he slowed the Avalon a bit, trying to keep out of their range::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][CO] Alex, if we're going to 'sneak' around shouldn't we make ourselves... less visible?
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO][CNS] It is... I have seen worse... but... caution is needed. When did you arrive?
Crewman Recruit Anatole Neris:[CMR] ::Enters the bridge . Ah, all stations look full. He decides to ask if there is anything he can do for the CO. A little ass kissing helps every now and then:: [CO] Sir, Reporting for duty, is there anything I can do?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][18A] Quite right. ::: he turns to Liel ::: [TAC] How could we mask our presence?
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][CMO] I came aboard back at Bajor.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][CMR] ::: He tilted his head to the side ::: Neris, is it? ::: he hoped he got his name right ::: Take tactical station two and coordinate scanning efforts with Ensign Andora.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]+T+[HELM] Hey bud, don't hold the break and the gas pedal down at the same time. Might burn out the pressure servos. ::he was kidding of course, noticing the frequent changes in velocity::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A] ::: Blinks, a bit put out and moves to the Special Ops console :::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She smirked at Curt's comment and continued running system scans, paying special attention to the Ferengi vessel::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Her head tilted.:: [CO] I could ...::A long pause in thought.:: Invert the sheilds causing light to seem to pass through us. ::Her fingers already preparing the change.::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM]+T+[CENG] Doing my best on that ... ::he let out a small snicker:: just try to keep the thing moving ...
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Nods then blinks at him.:: [CNS] I'm Brigid Lea... Cheif Medical.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][CMO] Something is wrong, Ms. Lea...I just dont know what.
Crewman Recruit Anatole Neris:[CMR][CO] Aye sir. :: Moves over to the tactical station two and takes his seat.:: [TAC] How can I be of service?
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO]{CNS] What do you mean?
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][Cmo]I dont know yet, But I plan to find out. Can we talk later?
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS][CO] Sir, the Ferengi have dropped out of warp. They seem to be orbiting a fairly large planet. It seems the planet has an extensive systems of caves about two thousand meters wide, spanning the entire planet.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][HELM] Full stop.
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::Verkal took them out of warp hearing this, and tried to hold a safe distance away from the Ferengi::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO]+T+[CENG] Jameson, shut down the core. Keep it in standby. Give minimal power to the engines. Be ready to snap them back on at a moments notice, alright?
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] [CMR] Just keep weapons at ready and be ready to switch off when I need. [18A] Be ready just incase.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he rushes into the turbo lift:: Deck Seven.
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][TAC] Always am ::: She gives a happy grin :::
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]+T+[CO] Aye sir. Commencing Core Shutdown procedure on my mark. ::he finds the shutdown procedure manual on a nearby station and begins:: Mark.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Nods her fingers dancing about her controls. Pleased with the responce.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The nacelles on the avalon grow dark with the core's shut down. The impulse engines also dim a bit, giving Verkal only 1/4th the power he had before. Tac is also limited in what she can do. Full power is to the sensors,
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:for OPS.
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Watches the counsilor go and starts running extra scans wondering what is going on with him. Shrugs slightly.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][HELM] See if you can bring us in closer...
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He reroutes power from auxiliary systems to the engines so that they can get an extra boost when needed, but making sure a large portion of the power is designated for scanning and the like so ops can get some use::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Represses a grumble about her Tactical sensors being down.::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he rushes into his office::{Computer] Computer, Get me all the information you can about our current position and the Ferengi, please.
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::the controls got a lot more sluggish ... he didn't like that much at all:: [LCDRF] I believe I can ... ::he closed slowly, doing his damnedest to stay out of the Ferengi's sensors::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She was pleased that she wouldn't have to work in the dark, despite the core shutdown. She ran every kind of scan she could think of that was relevant to the mission:: [NOIP] Come out, come out wherever you are...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The Computer Replies, "The Ferengi are in a Damok-class cargo ship They are orbiting the planet Takarn IV.
Crewman Recruit Anatole Neris:[CMR][TAC] I know how you feel. :: sighs sensing her disappointment ::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][Computer]What can you tell me about these Takarn IV?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: Takarn IV is a dead planet, full of extensive cave structures running throughout the entire world.
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS][NOIP] Holy moly! ::her console indicates something bleak:: [CO] Sir, you should look at this. Sensors indicate a vessel decloaking.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Glances to him looking annoyed.:: [CMR]Try not to read me if you can help it.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][Computer]Is there any reason for the Ferengi to be here?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO] ::: He sighs::: [NOIP] A secret rendevous, is that it? [OPS] What kind of vessel?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: Computer replies, "That is not know."
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Groans slightly she hated cloakers. It was always bad news.::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][Computer]Tell me about the Damok class vessel.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: It is a medium cargo ship or personel transport capable of holding 300 passangers or 4metagrams of cargo.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]It just not make sense for them to come here.
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She runs a more invasive scan to get more information and waits until the results appear on her console:: Sir, the ship can be identified as having the chassis of a Dominion Battlecruiser. She's not as malignant as a
Crewman Recruit Halina:dreadnaught, but she can still pack a punch.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Scans the vessal uncloaking itself. Her fingers moving quickly.:: [AOPS] Tell me what that baby has.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He notices the core is cool now. He checks standby procedures and makes sure they can high tail it out whenever trouble arises::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][TAC] ::: He looks at her with a 'ghost of a smile' ::: Well, be ready... [OPS] Are there any-
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The OPS Console bleeps
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][NOIP] These just keep coming back ... ::he sighed, tensing up all over again, thinking evasive maneuvers might again be needed::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns][Computer]Is there anything new on the scans?
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: One Jem'Hadar Battlecruiser has decloaked to the port of the Ferengi vessel.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]:::he walks over to his desk and sits down signing::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::Her attention is once again averted to another location on her console:: [CO] The Dominion vessel and Ferengi vessel are exchanging communcations, sir.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][AOPS] Put them on screen, on speaker if you can't.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::She kept listening noting the ghost of a smile she returned it having picked up her brothers smirk.::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]They must not be here for the planet...Has to be a meeting or a hiding spot.
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She attempts to get them on viewer as best she can:: [LCDRF] I'm trying but I'm reading radiation is interfering with the transmission. On top of that, their signal is encrypted.
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][NOIP] It must be some exchange... how did they get so deep into our space? DS9 would have been the first station to know...
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::her gaze shot to helm. Then she moved over the the Ops station running her fingers over a few keys trying to break the encryption.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][HELM] ::: He moves over to Verkal's station, leaning behind his chair ::: Creep us up slowly.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He turns to another enlisted men under him:: [Generic CMR] You watch things down here, I'm going up to the bridge to monitor things from up there. Keep me posted.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][18A] Telsia, encryption is your forte', so as soon as we're in range... start doing it.
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][18A] The cloak would probably do it ... ::he nodded to Alex, his eyes on his station, starting to ease them in, mainly on thrusters:: [CO] Doing so now ...
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He reports to the turbolift with haste, for he felt he was missing something big. He knew he had just as much control as he needed from the redundant engineering liason stations on the bridge:: Bridge.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Moves back to her station and nods to Telsia slightly her face having tightened a little bit. But the look was unreadable.::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A][CO] Don't worry, I'll get right on it ::: types on her console and brings up her TED to give her extra information :::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::he stands and begins pacing::
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Moves to the lift not actually needed up here at the moment she thought of something. Waiting for the lift.::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::Her console's information begins to clarify, as the encryption code Telsia input had worked. She smiled, probably to the chagrin of her ememies. She puts the transmission on screen:: [CO] Sir, the transmission has been
Crewman Recruit Halina:intercepted. On screen now.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::His turbolift stopped at the bridge and the doors whooshed open. He looked up from the floor and saw Bri waiting:: Hi hun. Something looks bad here. Thought I'd head up here to be better clued in.
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Touches his hand lightly then motions him onto the bridge smiling a little before stepping into the lift. She had been on her way somewhere. But the touch acknowledged him in a chaste on duty sort of way.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The screen is blank, filled with a rush of JemHadar charactures and letters.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][18A] It's your show.
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::he closed as much as he dared ... why could it not be Klingons? They were predictable ... these odd dominion forces didn't seem to be that way ... ::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A] ::: her hands fly fast, dominating the LCARS board. Her face jerks from controled muscle movements manipulating her ted screen :::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Simply keeps at ready.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The screen lights up with the face of a Ferengi.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::he smiled and watched his Brily dissapear into the TL. He reported to the ENG station nearby:: Computer, activate engineering console. Display information which is currently being viewed on console 5 in main engineering.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:Ferengi> ... have deleivered on- ::: static ::: we expect full payment for the ::: static ::: ithium.
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::The doors of the lift close.:: [TL] Deck 16
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She saw the screen and scowled in disgust at the horrific looking creature:: Blech. ::the statement was said quitely under her breath::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:Ominous Voice> Beam over the :;: static ::: or we will destroy your puny vessel. Our God demands it....
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]:::stops pacing:: maybe?
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] [NOIP] ::her voice a whisper.:: I wonder if I can intercept the transport.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:Ferengi> Once the transfer of the cases are complete along ::: static ::: we expect to be paid.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:Ominous Voice> You shall be... ::: static ::: meet us in the Mentab ::: static ::: our...
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He hears Liel's comment and ponders on it just a moment. [TAC] If I boost the gain on our transport emitters, it might be possible.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: OPS bleeps like mad and the vessels change posture on the screen
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Steps off into the medical bay and watches her stuff from there.::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC]::nods at the statement. Then looks to Captain Hunter as if waiting his command to do something.::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::How stupid were these Ferengi? These did not seem to be the sort to pay bills at all ... let alone on time, or anything like that which the Ferengi appeared to like in customers::
Ensign JG Telsia Hunter:[18A] ::: Flinches as the ted goes bright white, indicating a cut signal ::: [NOIP] Son of a bit-! ::: takes off the TED ::: [ALL] Transmission has been lost.
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::shakes his head:: no, not that
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Runs scans as the posture of the ships change.::
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::Her console lights up like a Craedorian Vitchtu firework party and her jaw dropped:: [CO] Sir, there is a buildup of temporal particles. It's forming a rift. Oh, wait, ugh. A small starfleet shuttle is coming through.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: A type 19 shuttle zooms from the rift and is instantly struck with a polaron beam,
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[LCDRF][AOPS] Red alert! ::: sits in the XO's chair :::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM][CO] Shall I move us in to assist?
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Shakes her hand slamming her hand lightly against the console.:: [NOIP] Transfer made.
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][CENG] Jameson, bring full power back on line! ::: nods to Verkal ::: [HELM] Do it.
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She promptly jabs her thumb into the console, activating Red Alert. The claxons are heard at once::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::hears the red alert, and rushes from his office to the tl:; Bridge!
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Lines up the firing sequences. Her jaw tightening more.::
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He jump starts the core::[CO and HELM] Full power at your discretion! Go!
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::he nodded, looking to Liel:: [TAC] Lets clear them out ... ::he punched the controls, bringing the ship in on the Battlecruiser, a cruel sneer on his face. He didn't think too highly of the Dominion::
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::If not before, he was definitely on his toes now. A pin drop 30 decks below would have made him jump::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC][CO] Firing at will, sir. ::She stated releasing phasers and torpedos on Engine and weapons systems.::
Crewman Recruit Anatole Neris:[CMR] ::He briskly return to his station and scans it. They're about to fire... attack the battle cruiser on screen:: This should be intresting
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The Avalon leaps forward, darting straight towards the Battlecruiser. She's glowing bright as Liel starts to fire impacting several blows on the enemies' port and starboard impulse engines.
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::makes sure defensive systems are supplied with power, he reroutes a few systems to shields and weapons should Liel need them soon::
Crewman Recruit Duron Mintak:[Cns]::enters the bridge and walk over taking a seat somewhere::
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Lines up the next round aiming for weapons systems again. Her face tight with excitement and anxiety. Fires.::
Ensign Verkal Andora:ACTION: The Dominion warship detected the spike in power from the Avalon. It turned, shields going up, plasma leaking from the port engine. Clearly they were outmatched here. The vessel slipped back into cloak, attempting to make
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::The third round aimed for life support. She would fire again torps and phaser blasts.::
Ensign Verkal Andora:an escape. What ever they had obtained, it seemed their commanders were not willing to risk losing it in a fight they almost certainly could not win
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The shields take impacts but it just isn't enough as the last phaser blasts miss and streak out into space.
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She made her hand into a fist and slammed it down onto the console:: Dangit those cowards..
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO] ::: Strikes the arm of his chair with his fist ::: God dammit! ::: he looks to OPS ::: Track them?
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS][CO] Sir, I already tried. They're out of range, in warp somewhere.
Ensign Liel Andora:[TAC] ::Growls low..::Turns the aim onto the freighter killing the warp enginesand the impulse drives. Torps and phasers again.::
Ensign Verkal Andora:[HELM] ::he closed, letting out a low, annoyed groan:: [NOIP] I'm starting to find these Jem'hadar must ... frustrating ...
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:ACTION: The freighter sputters and looses life support.
Crewman Recruit Halina:[AOPS]::She felt like strangling the sensors themselves. She badmouthed the Avalon's sensors in her mind as if they weren't up to standard, even though she knew it was the best sensor technology in the fleet::
Ensign JG Brigid Lea:[CMO] ::Jumps from the turbo lift abruptly feeling the hightened tension. Her gaze moving about the active bridge.::
Fleet Captain Alex Hunter:[CO][18A] Transport the freighter's crew aboard and have a security detail waiting for them. Interrogate them and see what the hell is going on. Counselor, you go with her and see if you can read any lies...
Crewman Apprentice Curtis Jameson:[CENG]::He spots Bri, smiles and nods at her:: Hey, see you're back.
