21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Good evening, Crew. I hope this week finds you all well. I see Dr. Shadow is still among the missing. I know he is having difficulties with his wheelchair, so I hope he can get back soon. |
21:01 | ... | Have you all read the brief and do we have any questions? |
21:01 | Cdr_Hart | Read and no questions, Skipper. |
21:02 | Lt_Andrews | Read and no, Sir. |
21:02 | Lt_Banning | Yes and no, Sir. |
21:02 | CaptMcCloud | Very good, let's... |

21:02 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: on the bridge, but not in his chair:: |
21:03 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: standing at the engineering console;: |
21:03 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: at tactical:: |
21:03 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: enters the bridge from the sensor pod:: |
21:04 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] How are we looking up there, Lieutenant? |
21:04 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] All back in service, Captain. There is no sign of those ships. |
21:05 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] I expected as much, but let's see if we can pick up any knid of trail. |
21:05 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: stis down at the science console:: |
21:07 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] Any other damages from the attack? |
21:07 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] Nope. They barely even diminished them at all. |
21:08 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] Thank goodness for that small miracle. |
21:09 | LtCdrWren: | OPS >[ CO ] Captain, we're being hail by Starfleet Command. |
21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: turns to the OPS officer. Frowns:: [ OPS ] Put them on, Commander. |
21:10 | LtCdrWren: | OPS > :: taps on the console, sending the hail to the main screen.:: |
21:11 | AdmLanders: | ADM >[ CO ] Rayne, what happened? You lost the P'Cholo? |
21:12 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ ADM ]+ :: solemn nod:: THe ships that attacked, hit us with some sort of pulse that knocked out our sensors.They were not making any headway against our shields, and we did manage to take down two of them. |
21:13 | AdmLanders: | ADM >+[ CO ]+ So, what happened to the P'Cholo? |
21:14 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ ADM ]+ Well, for one thing, they disregarded our instructions. We ordered them to stay behind us, but they insisted they had to get through the sector and left the bubble of our protection. |
21:15 | AdmLanders: | ADM >+[ CO ]+ :: frowns and thinks a moment more:: Alright, we need to find that ship, Rayne. |
21:16 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: having moced next to Andrews at tactical:: +[ ADM ]+ Are we coing to find out what is, or was, on that ship? |
21:17 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: nods in agreement with Commander Hart.:: |
21:18 | AdmLanders: | ADM >+[ A-XO ]+ ::grimaces, not liking this part:: All I can say, Commander, is it is something very important to Federation security. |
21:19 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >+[ ADM ]+ And they transported it in a freighter? |
21:20 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: glances to Tom, giving him a 'be careful" look:: |
21:20 | AdmLanders: | ADM >+] A-XO ]+ Well, P'Cholo is not your typical freighter. |
21:21 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ ADM ]+ :: raises brows:: Oh? |
21:22 | AdmLanders: | ADM >+[ CO ]+ ::nods:: She has special defenses, Rayne. If she doesn't want to be found, most ships won't find her. |
21:23 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ ADM ]+ Then how... |
21:24 | AdmLanders: | ADM >+[ CO ]+ I can't say much more than that, Rayne. Even this channel could be compromised. |
21:25 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ ADM ]+ I'd say more than the channel is compromised if they came in force after something you all tried to keep hidden. |
21:26 | AdmLanders:ADM >+[ CO ]+ :: grimaces again:: I'm afraid you are right. |
21:27 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ ADM ]+ ::nods:: Alright, Admiral. We will do our best to find that ship. |
21:28 | AdmLanders: | ADM >+[ CO ]+ Thank you, Rayyne. Landers out. |
21:29 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ CO ] Sorry, Captain. I couldn't resist. It just came out. |
21:30 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ A-XO ] :: nods:: It didn't seem to bother the admiral, so it's all good, Tom. |
21:31 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Captain, I definitely cannot find a trace of the P'Cholo, but I do believe I have a trail on the attacker ships. |
21:32 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] It's a start, Lieutenant. Coordinate with helm. [ OPS] Commander Wren. Try hailing the P'Cholo. |
21:33 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: sends his data to helm:: |
21:33 | LtCdrWren: | OPS >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: send out a general hail:: |
21:33 | CaptMcCloud | CO > {{ moves down to the center seat:: |
21:34 | EnsToine: | HELM >[ CO ] Data received, Captain. Plotting it now. |
21:34 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ HELM ] Best speed, Ensign. |
21:35 | EnsToine: | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: puts the ship in motion in pursuit.:: |
21:36 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: stesp over to the science station:: [ SCI ] Troy, I was trying to analyze the data just before our sensors winked out. That was no ordinairy EMP they shot at us. |
21:38 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] Agreed, Sir. We have long learned to defend against a pulse like that. Heck, we even overcame that beam the Breen used against us that would leave us dead in space. |
21:38 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ SCI ] :: nods:: So, what was it? And it didn't effect any other systems, only the sensors. |
21:40 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] Well, we do utilized a range of frequencies for our sensors. Maybe, they found a way to interrupt them. |
21:41 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ SCI ] BUt how do we stop it? |
21:42 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: thinks a moment:: [SCI ] Either modulate the shields more in tune with sensor, which would also affect the way we can "see" things with the shields up, or find a way to scatter the burst when they shoot it at us. |
21:43 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ SCI ] :oints and nods:: THAT'S the way. Scatter the pulse as they fire it. |
21:44 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: listening to the two talk:: |
21:45 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ A-XO ] It would have to be a quick shot, Sir. Almost as quickly as I saw the power signature, they were firing and we were blind. |
21:46 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: also listening to them:: [ A-XO/SCI ] If the computer can be set to automatically go to red alert when an enemy ship drops in on us, couldn't we program it to recognize the energy signature and act to repulse it? |
21:48 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: listens to Andrews, then nods::[ TAC/SCI ] Yes! Yes it could! :: moves quickly to the engineering console:: |
21:48 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: turns to his console and starts inputting commands:: |
21:49 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: smiles as he loves to see a "well-oiled" machine work.:: |
21:50 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: his sensors beep. He looks and furrows his brow:: [ CO ] Captain, I think I found the P'Cholo. |
21:50 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] Do we have a visual? |
21:51 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] :: tapping the console:: Trying to refine it now, Sir. |
21:52 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO > :: makes a small noise of triumph and moves back to Banning:: [ ScI ] I've got it. All you need to do is send me the best sensor shot of that energy signature you have. |
21:53 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: nods to Hart:: [ A-XO ] I'll send it right over. [ CO ] I've got a visual, Captain. |
21:54 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ SCI ] On screen. |
21:54 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: sends the image to the main screen:: |
21:55 | =/\=ACTION: On the viewscreen, the P'Cholo sits motionless. Her hull is blackened and there is a hole in the port side. =/\= |
21:56 | Cdr_Hart | A-XO >[ NOIP ] So much for being "un-findable." |
21:56 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: scans the P'CHolo:: [ CO ] Definitely blasted by our "friends," Captain. |
21:57 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::nods at Andrews report:: [ SCI ] Life signs, MR. Banning? |
21:58 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: scans the P'CHolo:: [ CO ] None, sir. At least not from this distance. |
21:59 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: frowns again:: [ ALL ] Well, let's check it out. |

22:00 | CaptMcCloud | Nice job, Everyone. Any questions? |
22:00 | Cdr_Hart | None, Sir. |
22:00 | Lt_Andrews | No, Sir. |
