21:31 | LtCdrWren: | OPS >[ A-XO ] I'm sending you the P'Cholo's bill of laden, Sir. |
21:32 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: glances to his console and reads the list:: |

21:47 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Confirmed, Captain. Trying to dissuade them from that course of action. :: fires a volley of torps in their direction and phasers at the other two.:: |
21:49 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] If the damn P'Cholo would have listened to instructions, they wouldn't have just made themselves a prime target. |
21:50 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] P'Cholo is changing course, Captain! Leaving the shpping lane. |
21:51 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: furrows brows again:: [ NOIP ] What the hell are they doing. [ OPS ] Hailey, get them back here. |
