| 21:01 | CaptMcCloud | Thank you, Commander. |
| 21:02 | ... | Good evening, All. So good to see you, especially on the eve of Thanksgiving. I hope you all have had a good week. |
| 21:02 | LtAmeliaMoore | Very good so far, Sir. |
| 21:02 | CaptMcCloud | We are using the brief sent out, last week, as we did not sim. So, have you all read the brief, and do we have any questions? |
| 21:02 | Cdr_Hart | Brief read, no questions, Skipper. |
| 21:03 | Lt_Andrews | Yes, and, no, Captain. |
| 21:03 | Lt_Banning | y/n, Sir. |
| 21:03 | LtAmeliaMoore | Read and No Questions |
| 21:04 | CmdrDutcher | Y/N |
| 21:06 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. Let us... |

| 21:06 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::now on the bridge, watching the Klingon-looking ship, on the main screen:: |
| 21:07 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: on the bridge, standing on the upper tier, watching:: |
| 21:07 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: on the bridge, at the tactical console, analyzing the new arrival:: |
| 21:08 | CmdrDutcher | XO> :: looks at the view screen as the mystery vessel continues to destroy what appear to be satellites:: Can we do something, anything? |
| 21:08 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: at sciences on the bridge, studying the sensors:: |
| 21:08 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE> ::in sickbay doing nursey stuff:: |
| 21:09 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: considers Ali's words and nods:: [ OPS2 ] Mr. Noone, hail that ship. |
| 21:10 | Lt.Noone | OPS2 >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. Hailing... :: taps on the console:: |
| 21:11 | =/\=ACTION: It takes a moment, but the ship stops firing on the sattelites and scans the area where the Eagle is hiding:: =/\= |
| 21:12 | Lt_Banning | SCI > We definitely have their attention. they're scanning for us. |
| 21:12 | CommoFyrstk | CENG > :: thinks this should be interesting:: |
| 21:12 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::Smiles:: >[SCI] That we do Mr Banning! |
| 21:12 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: gets ready to deploy shields:: |
| 21:13 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: waits:: [ SCI ] Any response from the planet, Mr. Banning? |
| 21:14 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] As a matter of fact, Sir. They are launching missles now. |
| 21:15 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE> ::hums a happy tune as she works.. thinking about her date with Rob:: |
| 21:15 | CaptMcCloud | CO > ::nods again:: [ NOIP] Let's see what happens now. |
| 21:16 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] This is getting interesting! |
| 21:16 | =/\=ACTION: Two beams shoot out from the alien vessel, destroying the incoming missiles. =/\= |
| 21:17 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] They've destroyed the missiles. |
| 21:17 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] Perhaps we need to distract the alien vessel enough for the surface to score a hit, or two. |
| 21:18 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: sighs:: [ HELM ] Mr. Toine, make us visible to the attackers. [ TAC ] Go to yellow alert. |
| 21:18 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. |
| 21:18 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. Going to yellow alert. |
| 21:18 | =/\= Yellow Alert ~ Yellow Alert ~ Yellow Alert =/\= |
| 21:19 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ OPS2 ] Mr. Noone, open the channel. |
| 21:19 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE> ::looks up as the yellow alert sounds:: Ahh well, so much for quiet contemplations! |
| 21:20 | LtNoone | OPS2 >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::taps the console:: You're on, Sir. |
| 21:21 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ Alien_ship ]+ Attention. this Captain Rayne McCloud of the Federation starship Eagle. Please identify yourself. |
| 21:22 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] Well, at least we know the captain didn't make this up just to avoid his physical. |
| 21:23 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE >[ EMH ] Well, that is a point in his favor then. But at least we did get a start on some of it. |
| 21:23 | =/\=ACTION: The ship immediately opens fire on the *Eagle*. The disruptor-like blast hits the ship's shields and rocks the ship, but shields hold. =/\= |
| 21:24 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ Alien_ship ]+ I do not wish a conflict with you. I just asked you to identify yourself and your intentions. |
| 21:25 | =/\=ACTION: The alien ship fires again, and more missiles are launched from the surface. =/\= |
| 21:25 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] :Shrugs:: Guess they don't want to talk! |
| 21:25 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ NOIP ] More incoming. :: holds on as the ship gets rocked again:: |
| 21:26 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE >[ EMH ] Feels like we may be getting busy! |
| 21:27 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ NOIP ] Let's see if we can draw them away from the planet. [ HELM ] Take us out of the system, Mr. Toine. Nice and easy. |
| 21:27 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. :: moves the ship toward the edge of the star system:: |
| 21:28 | DrResork | EMH >[ Nurse ] :: starts preparing:: You are most likely correct. |
| 21:28 | =/\=ACTION: The alien ship does not immediately follow. =/\= |
| 21:29 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] They may take that as chasing us off and go right back to the planet |
| 21:29 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] They're not taking the bait, Captain. |
| 21:30 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ TAC ] :: sighs:: Let's give them some incentive, Mr. Andrews. |
| 21:31 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ CO ] :: smiles:: Aye, Sir. :: targets the ship with the aft phaser emitters, and fires:: |
| 21:32 | =/\=ACTION: The phasers strike the alien vessel, and, actually, does some damage to it. =/\= |
| 21:32 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] I think that just might do the trick |
| 21:33 | Lt_Banning | SCI >[ CO ] Direct hit, Sir. Their own shields are down to fifty percent, plus there is some hull damage. |
| 21:33 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE> ::Preps the areas for possible incoming wounded:: |
| 21:33 | Lt_Andrews | TAC >[ Co ] They still aren't following, Sir. |
| 21:34 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: sighs again:: Helm, bring us around. [ OPS2 ] Mr. Noone, reopen that channnel. |
| 21:35 | EnsToine | HELM >[ CO ] Aye, Sir. ::turns the ship back toward the other ship:: |
| 21:36 | LtNoone | OPS2 >[ CO ] :: taps:: You're on, again, Sir. |
| 21:37 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ Alien_ship ]+ Alien vessel. I suggest you talk to us. That is only a part of what this ship is capable of. |
| 21:38 | =/\=ACTION: The other ship responds. =/\= |
| 21:38 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ CO ] ::whispers:: Not to mention that firing on us is an act of aggression that will be met with force? |
| 21:39 | Alien | @ A-CO >+[ CO ]+ :: the other captain's words are unintelligible, as he speaks:: |
| 21:39 | CaptMcCloud | CO > :: patiently waits for the UT to find some common words:: |
| 21:40 | =/\=ACTION: The missiles, from the planet clear the planet's atmosphere, and strike the alien ship. It can be seen rocking, ever-so-slightly, on the main screen. =/\= |
| 21:41 | CaptMcCloud | CO >[ XO ] :: smiles slightly:: I'll be sure to tell them that. |
| 21:42 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: moves back to his console, to check for any damage:: |
| 21:42 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::nods and smiles as they wait for the UT:: |
| 21:42 | Lt_Andrews | TAC . ::now has forward phasers trained on the other ship:: |
| 21:43 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A-CO ]+ It may take a moment for our universal translator to grasp your language. Keep talking, Captain. |
| 21:45 | Alien | @ A-CO >+[ CO ]+ :: looks to be getting angrier, and starts shouting at the screen:: ... dare to fire on us! You do not know who you are dealing with! |
| 21:46 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A-CO ]+ There we are. Again, I am Captain McCloud of the Federation vessel Eagle. And, you? |
| 21:47 | Alien | @ A-CO >+[ CO ]+ Federation vessel Eagle! Have you claimed this star system for your own? |
| 21:47 | CmdrDutcher | XO> ::crosses her arms and gives the other captain a look of distain:: |
| 21:48 | Cdr_Hart | CENG > :: turns at hearing that question, eager to hear how the captain responds:: |
| 21:48 | Lt_Andrews | TAC > :: raises brows at the question:: |
| 21:48 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: also surprised at the question. Looks to the captain:: |
| 21:49 | CmdrDutcher | XO >[ NOIP ] Looks to me like it already has someone staking a claim on it. |
| 21:49 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A-CO ]+ Suppose we have. What then? |
| 21:50 | Alien | @ A-CO >+[ CO ]+ We fight you for it, of course. |
| 21:51 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A-Co ]+ :: rolls his eyes:: For what? They are, obviously a less technically advanced planet. What do you want with them? |
| 21:53 | Alien | @ A-CO >+[ CO ]+ ::narrows his eyes. He resembles an early version of the Klingons (TOS-style)::What do *you* want with them? |
| 21:53 | LtAmeliaMoore | NURSE> ::is treating the few crew that came in with a few scrapes... nothing more serious so far:: |
| 21:53 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A-Co ]+ We have our reasons for being here, but I asked you first. |
| 21:56 | Alien | @ A-CO >+[ CO ]+ We intend to conquer them and colonize the planet. |
| 21:56 | Cdr_Hart | CENG >[ NOIP ] : mutters:: No surprise there. |
| 21:57 | Lt_Banning | SCI > :: just shakes his head, and glances back to his board:: |
| 21:58 | CaptMcCloud | CO >+[ A-CO ]+ Yeah, I don't think we can allow that to happen. |
| 21:59 | Alien | @ A-Co >+[ CO ]+ How about I turn my weapons toward the planet and just wipe them all out instead? |
| 21:59 | CaptMcCloud | =/\= Pause Sim =/\= |
| 22:00 | CmdrDutcher | ::pause:: |
| 22:00 | Cdr_Hart | Duh-duh-duh! ::AA:: |
| 22:00 | Lt_Andrews | ::AA:: |
| 22:00 | LtAmeliaMoore | :: Pause:: |
| 22:00 | Lt_Banning | ::@@:: |
| 22:02 | CaptMcCloud | Alright. A bit of a cliff hanger to last you through the week. We will pick up here, next week. Do we have any questions? |
| 22:02 | Cdr_Hart | None here, Sir. |
| 22:03 | Lt_Andrews | No, Sir. |
| 22:03 | Lt_Banning | None, Sir. |
| 22:05 | LtAmeliaMoore | None here |
| 22:05 | CmdrDutcher | All Good! |
| 22:06 | CaptMcCloud | Excellent. I will, then, wish you a very happy Thanksgiving, and a good week. Please remember those in need and keep them in your thoughts and/or prayers. |
