How ironic is that? [18:13] While in the process of picking up Ka'tek vestai'Kharas, Coronado was pulled into the area of the Federation/Klingon border. Ka'tek informed us that the Klingon Empire and the Romulan Star Republic, working together, have invaded Federation space. We're now presently near the Yola system, trapped behind enemy lines. [18:13] Using slipstream at the present time would be inadvisable -- it would only advertise our presence. As a result, we need to find a stealthy way across the front lines. Our course is currently "northerly," toward the Triangle, the combined Klingon/Romulan/Federation border. However, we must proceed cautiously. [18:13] En route, we have been using the superior range of our LORASON sensors and our CIC's capabilities to avoid Klingon patrols, and we have just finished using them to ambush a small Klingon supply convoy. However, these side battles are not as important as making our way across to the Federation side of the the front lines.

[18:39] TL> ::exits the TL onto the bridge:: [18:39] MB> The recent away mission has got me thinking that a more durable body might be helpful [18:39] <[CRHL_Dejat]> ::gestures to Daren:: At your leisure.

The least heavily escorted convoy in this area has four B'rels covering it. Eight Spectres wouldn't be able to do much to four B'rels.

So that when we transmit, I appear Klingon? [18:43] CIC> ::nods:: Am hoping the Hornets have at least three B'rels chase them. Don't worry about the fourth. She won't know what hit her [18:43] * Savant leans forward conspiratorially [18:43] <[LtEN_Oswald]> ::nods:: sure thing... just give me a few minutes ::smiles:: [18:43] E> ::start his AEO duty report on a PADD:: [18:43] MB>Access the medical logs.

Head down to Engineering and recruit somebody to modify the Hornets. I don't want to lose anyone on this raid -- just use it as a distraction to push us a little further north. [18:43] <[LCTC_Daren]> ::perks up:: We're gonna be transmitting? [18:44] MB>Unsound medicine by most terms, but used to make interesting gah. [18:44] ::nods at Farley:: Good job, Lieutenant.

[18:44] Yes, sir. ::goes to the console:: [18:44] <[LCTC_Daren]> ::grins:: Thinking about 'asking' the Klingons to allow safe passage to the Federation side?

[18:45] <[CRXO_Bentall]> ::opens his eyes:: Just find a route to Federation Space Commander. Unless somthing gets in our way of course. [18:45] * Savant nods soberly, urging him to continue [18:45] MB>Short-lived, mind you, but long lived enough for their hearts to beat when I cut them out. [18:45] CIC> ::turns and heads out to the TLs:: [18:45] <[CRHL_Dejat]> I don't know how likely it would be to work...I suspect we'd need the marines. But in any case ::hears Bentall:: I guess we're going to the border.

[18:49] <[LCTC_Daren]> ::checking the battlegroups coordinates:: They're currently proceeding on a heading of 87 mark 125, they're heading for the frontline [18:49] MB> I think you should consider this when you can dedicate all your processing power to it. And think about it without your constraints on. [18:49] * Savant smiles gently [18:50] i'm not thinking about entirely altering my existance, Olme... it'd be a peripheral, just like my portable emitter.... there's no way i'd leave the computer system here. [18:50] <[CRHL_Dejat]> ::nods:: Let's see if we can't get in with them.... [18:50] CIC> ::focuses in on one small group of three ships:: [18:50] MB>I understand. I wouldn't want you to.
