[19:01] CCC = Commander Jack C. Farley, Chief Engineering Officer. [19:01] Make that a 3 minute hold. ;) [19:01] So that means limited amounts of reactant for our remaining torpedo launchers for normal warheads, the FM warheads are useless, and I'm not gonna have much for boosting the impulse propulsion power. [19:01] santi came in and said he'd be late [19:01] Just in time! lol [19:01] so did kari actually.

[19:07] Stardate 240407.12: "Lost Soul", Part 3, by Jester. [19:07] SUMMARY: Do what you came here to do. [19:07] Coronado is holding position near the location where a new "tear" will appear, in a large nebula "northwest" of Reor'sa. Unfortunately, the Xur had already reached the location and garrisoned it with at least six carriers and an unknown but very large number of strike craft. [19:07] Over the last few weeks, preliminary skirmishes have been taking place between Xur forces attempting to reinforce the enemy position and a large Defender fleet gathered to confront the Xur main body. However, the preliminaries are now over and it's time to move in on the Xur stronghold. [19:08] In Xanadu, Alicia has suggested that the asteroid-starship should be put through a Beckmann translation before the automatic programming can move the facility to the nebula. She says it takes some time for the Beckmann systems to recharge and this might safeguard Xanadu from Xur attack. [19:08] Briefing complete. [19:08] * CRXO_Tal acknowledges with a crisp salute. [19:08] ack [19:08] ack [19:08] ack [19:08] ack [19:08] ack [19:08] Acknowledged. [19:08] ack [19:08] ack [19:08] ackà [19:09] ack [19:09] When we left off last week, Coro had taken a lucky shot from a tar na zee weapon? organism? which had penetrated from deck 15 to deck 18 aft, from the deuterium bottles almost to the antimatter bottles. There's also no aft torpedo launcher. Worst of all, the subversion took over both warp plasma transfer lines to the nacelles, which were physically broken to prevent further spread of the infection. [19:10] That renders Coro more or less dead in the water, other than impulse, unless her Engineering team can fabricate a miracle. [19:10] Might be academic if the infection spreads, though. Lots and LOTS of energy in that part of the ship. [19:11] Any questions about where we ended up? [19:11] ::raises:: [19:11] ::raises:: [19:11] ::raises:: [19:12] Lieutenant Wolf? [19:12] are fighters already launched? [19:12] Yep, very much so. [19:12] Though Coro herself is only capable of refueling fighters in a limited way right now. Fortunately, Renegade is close by. [19:12] General Ironside? [19:12] Has Xanadu translated as of yet? [19:13] Nope. We're gonna pick it up with the decision ready to be made, hopefully. ;) [19:13] Commander D'rall? [19:13] ::raises:: Have we used the time we have had to try to move away from Xur patrols to a safer part of the nebula (if such a place exists?) [19:14] Sure. You can get 1/2 of 24 light-hours away in one day. Is that helpful? ;) [19:14] I'd say we should have certainly changed our position slightly, because the Xur obviously know we're in that spot and we don't want to be there waiting for them to come finish us off. [19:15] Better than nothing, especially if it helps put us closer to support. [19:15] For the record, that's about the distance from the sun to Neptune. In space terms, it's a tiny distance. [19:15] hehe [19:15] ::raises:: [19:15] Or, in the immortal words of Airplane 2, "we're off course just a tad." ;) [19:15] Captain Drexler? [19:15] What did the recon packet to Longshot reveal? [19:16] System is clear and more or less how Xanadu left it. [19:16] OK. [19:16] Clear? Shouldn't that system be filled with derelict Phfor vessels that drifted into the radiation? ;-) [19:16] Excellent question. :) As a matter of fact, there's no sign of Pfhor vessels in the system. [19:17] * Natty (~trekkiemo@adsl-69-105-90-249.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net) has left #uss-coronado [19:17] * Natty (~trekkiemo@adsl-69-105-90-249.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net) has joined #uss-coronado [19:17] <> [19:17] :/ Alrighty, Wolf. [19:17] Any other questions? [19:17] * L2SL_Wolf (~me@ip68-226-106-166.ph.ph.cox.net) Quit (Quit: ) [19:18] ::raises:: [19:18] Lieutenant Gannsen? [19:19] Two questions Sir; whats the status of our antimatter supply and are there any diabled ships nearby that we can use for parts [19:19] Coro was one of two ships that got spotted. One of the Camelynian ships was the other. Coro came out worse of the two. Antimatter supplies, ironically, are fine. Coro was refueled before she left for the nebula. [19:20] But you're thinking along very good lines. :) [19:20] Anyone else? [19:20] ::raises:: [19:20] "That's what makes us special." [19:20] Doctor Boswell? [19:20] Boswell or Kennedy? [19:21] Up to you. Kennedy would be useful to monitor an unjoined Trill's vitals and make sure he doesn't drop dead a few million kilometers from the anomaly. [19:21] righto. [19:21] But Coro still has her share of casualties. You can do both if you can manage it. [19:21] * LCDR_Kennedy (~breathles@adsl-68-123-37-128.dsl.sktn01.pacbell.net) has joined #uss-coronado [19:21] * CoroLCARS sets mode: +v LCDR_Kennedy [19:22] ::Raises:: [19:22] Needless to say, Tebrun will forcibly eject Kennedy from his ship, though. So consider her on a "nearby" ship. Blackrazor would be a good candidate if Alffred's connection stands up to it. [19:22] Commander D'rall, something else? [19:22] Do we have any help coming from any one else. Like, maybe, some Traxati needlers? [19:23] "Can you tell me how this episode ends? I'd really like to know." [19:23] Any other questions? [19:23] ::rolls eyes:: Any help that we know of obviously. [19:23] ::raises:: [19:23] Everything that the Defenders can spare is being rushed into the area. That's all anybody on the ships inside the nebula knows. Communications are obviously very spotty. [19:24] Dr. Kennedy? [19:24] what suffix should i attach to denote my presence on Blackrazor? [19:24] ::rolls eyes:: [19:25] Use Razor> or something in front of your text. ;) [19:25] Thank you. [19:25] Anyone else? [19:25] ::raises:: [19:25] ::glances at the tactical console longingly:: [19:26] Commander Farley? Sheesh, lots of questions. ;) [19:26] How long do we have to make your miracles happen? [19:26] Only one from me tonight! [19:27] ::grins:: Might wanna make it a fast miracle. [19:27] If there's nothing else?

[19:31] Redeemer> ::makes his way to the cockpit, leaning against this and that strategic wall, Kennedy trailing along behind:: Doctor, there are two reasons you are.

[19:31] E> ::points to the table and the sections that need to be looked at:: We need to get the "fuel" lines hooked back up without going through or near the infected areas. [19:32] ::nods:: Alicia, will you be able to properly translate Xanadu without entering the radiation field? [19:32] Redeemer> You might as well save them. [19:32] Redeemer> One is the Kor symbiont still in my quarters. Your first duty is to the symbiont. He must survive. That is the whole point to you being here. [19:32] Redeemer> Will you kill Kor with your objections? ::drags himself over to the left seat in the cockpit and drops into it with visible relief:: [19:32] ::sighs:: Mr. Farley and his team are "on it".

[19:32] =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently: Red Alert . [19:32] Redeemer> If we are close enough to another ship for me to beam over, we are close enough for the symbiont to be beamed aboard. If I can put it in stasis, I'm sure someone else can too. [19:33] E> ::nods:: [19:33] X2> ::turns to a console and calls out to the room:: Yellow alert. Recall all ships to the First Chamber.

[19:34] Though I have to admit that I wish Ms. Oswald were here to oversee matters below. ::frowns slightly:: [19:34] ::nods:: Good work. Keep the fighter patrols pretty widespread. I'd rather we not get caught by another one of those attack runs... [19:34] X2> ::Savant cocks an eyebrow:: [19:34] Redeemer> The second reason is that this is a one way trip, doctor! Isn't that obvious? [19:34] Redeemer> And, incidentally, you must not be experienced with medical professionals if you've never had one delegate before. [19:35] X2> ::turns back to the others and nods, waiting to hear Alicia's response:: [19:35] E> We should be able to run new lines around the infected areas. Cut holes, do what ever to get them to the right place. [19:35] Redeemer> Well. [19:35] E> ::point on his padd, wich has the ship layout:: We could use deck 21 and or 22 to get smaller plasma conduit then the normal for warp.. it would therefore, reduce our warp/slipstream speed but at least we will be able to use it.

[19:49] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:49] ::leans against the Command Chair:: [19:49] ::sags in her chair and looks over to Daren with a wearied expression upon her tightly drawn face:: [19:49] Redeemer> ::laughs sourly:: Doctor, you're going to have to... forgive me. My memories are... ::makes a somewhat helpless gesture with both hands:: Fortunately, I was a pilot before I met Kor. [19:50] It's not right. [19:50] Redeemer> I'm afraid you cannot imagine what it is like. Long term amnesia, perhaps? A third of my life is gone already. [19:50] What's that, Sir? [19:51] The fact that we have to endure Mr. Farley's Wild Ride instead of the smooth operation that was Ms. Oswald's reign of terror? [19:51] Redeemer> The Wayfarer, it's Trill mythology. I gave you one, it's a stone statue, about ten centimeters long, for your birthday. The legend of the Wayfarer, you should know from childhood. [19:51] =.\ction= Everything inside Xanadu... stretches. There's a distinct feeling like you've done all this before. Outside the asteroid- starship, space snaps forward, snaps back, and Xanadu is gone as if she never was. [19:51] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:52] ::shakes his head:: Sidelined. I was hoping we would be able to honor the death of one the greatest Starship Captain's I've ever known, by doing everything we could in support of his final mission. [19:52] ::grips a console as the translation hits, being somewhat familiar with the feeling by now:: [19:52] ::sighs as she wanders down the list. Checking several items off, she dumps the contents to a PADD and reaching back towards the Command Dias, holds out the PADD:: Hourly energy budget and consumption reports. [19:52] =.\ction= ...and then it's over. Space snaps back, snaps forward, and the asteroid-starship reemerges near a cloud of radiation. [19:52] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:52] =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently: Red Alert . [19:52] X2> ::Savant was undisturbed by the translation other than a faint flicker:: [19:53] Redeemer> If this is a one-way trip, as you say it is, then you shouldn't take it with you. [19:53] There is still hope. ::ponders for a moment:: Mr. Farley and his team could come through in the next five minutes and restore power. ::frowns:: [19:53] *> ::examines the nacell room:: [19:53] X2> All stations, report. [19:53] X2> ::begins listening to the reports from his crew:: [19:54] E> +Taps+ Engineering teams report! [19:54] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:54] Redeemer> ::smiles crookedly:: I never took much interest in Trill stories growing up, Doctor. I was born on Earth. I never... never expected to be joined. Wasn't interested, in fact. I was a Marine. Didn't see the point to taking a symbiont into combat. [19:54] M> All right. He should now be moved to recovery. Bed open! [19:54] X2> ::Savant grayed slightly as she reviewed the next packet coming out of the nebula:: [19:54] ::coughs from the helm:: Sirs? ::holds up the PADD as high as she can past the railing:: [19:54] I feel we should do more, though. I owe it to Tebrun Lora and to the Kor symbiont. I started Coronado's journey with them. I should be finishing this with them. ::gazes at the viewscreen:: [19:54] Redeemer> Anything that was Kor's is still in the Penthia system. He left all of it there. [19:54] Redeemer> If it is of no interest to you, give it to me and I'll keep it with the symbiont. [19:54] ::waves the padd away:: [19:55] Redeemer> Very well. [19:55] ::rolls her eyes and tosses the PADD back into its storage well under her console:: [19:55] Redeemer> ::nods and glances at the board:: Shuttle link in 15 seconds. ::adjusts the Wraith's attitude slightly:: [19:55] ::glances at the sensor reports as they start flowing in:: We should begin the deployment of mines as soon as possible. [19:56] =.\ction= The Starfleet channels begin filling with chatter. The first waves of fighters are engaging their Xur counterparts, obviously trying to cut a hole through the Xur lines. [19:56] X2> ::turns to Ironside:: Did you bring some with you? [19:56] X2> ::SAvant didn't reply to Ironside immediately, as her processing threads were working on other jobs at that point:: [19:56] E> ::moves out to try and reroute more lines:: [19:56] A nominal amount, but we have plenty of industrial replicators to manufacture them. [19:56] *> ::works as fast as he can with his team, though not doing much progress:: +taps+ We are about 80% from our target here... [19:56] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:56] Tech> X2> ::turns to Drexler:: Captain, navigational beacons confirm we're right where we should be. Longshot system, in orbit of the star, something like 7 AUs out. [19:57] Redeemer> ::touches Tebrun's shoulder with her hand:: Godspeed, Admiral. I'll continue to monitor you from Blackrazor. I'm leaving my medical kit in your quarters. I'll contact you with instructions if anything happens. [19:57] E> +Taps+ Move it people, we are needed in the worse way! [19:57] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:57] ::gets confirmation from the shuttlebay that they've done all they can for the shuttles and have brought systems down there to cold status:: [19:57] E> +taps+ Gannesen, Where are you at on repairs? [19:57] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:57] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [19:57] =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently: Red Alert . [19:57] X2> ::nods:: I'm not worried about resources, I'm worried about time. [19:58] * Lefty1 (~professor@mx0741.pubip.gamewood.net) has joined #USS-Coronado [19:58] * CoroLCARS sets mode: +v Lefty1 [19:58] Redeemer> ::nods again and offers his hand:: Thank you again, Doctor.

Let's hope we don't need her help.

[19:59] ::glances at Savant:: Make sure you alert the forces in the nebula to our translation, so that they may monitor the Xur forces for any indication that they might start wondering where Xanadu is. [19:59] E> ::gets a report from Sky's group that main repairs are done and ready to go:: [19:59] E> Yes [19:59] Redeemer> ::leaves the cockpit, finds the container with the symbiont in it and moves toward the docking collar:: [19:59] Must still be early in the rift's formation... [19:59] X2> ::turns:: Send out the Defiant patrols. Tactical, begin working with Churchill for mine deployment calculations. [20:00] X2> ::Savant again didn't directly respond to Ironside, instead remaining where she was:: [20:00] Captain, it's possible that the team on Xanadu has found a way to control its shifting. Perhaps that is why it has not appeared yet. [20:00] E> ::finishes cutting off the infected areas and it's surrounds for main power start up:: [20:00] M> All right, I shall need two units of type O- blood, and please put the heavy grafter onto hot standby. [20:00] Or they could have been destroyed BEFORE they could translate. [20:00] *> ::finishes running the line and hooks one end up:: [20:01] *> ::Sky's team moves to help Gannsen's team finish up [20:01] :: [20:01] ::frowns at that thought, as creepy as Xanadu is some times:: [20:01] *> ::runs back up to main engineering and hooks the line up there:: [20:01] =.\ction= There is a small bump as Blackrazor's pod connects with the Wraith's docking collar. A moment later, the airlock joining the two ships opens. [20:01] E> Chief we are ready to go [20:02] E> ::hits the go button:: We have main power start up!! [20:02] Unlikely, Commander. The Xur appear to like to wait for Xanadu to show up at a Tear's location before attacking. It has been their pattern thus far. [20:02] X2> ::Savant exhaled and returned to working, a bit more sullenly than she had been moments before:: [20:02] Redeemer> ::hands the container to the shuttle's minder, walking through after glancing back toward the cockpit:: We are cleared for departure in your own time. [20:02] E> +Taps+ bridge you have main power ecept the infected areas! [20:02] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:02] * Natty (~trekkiemo@adsl-69-105-90-249.dsl.scrm01.pacbell.net) has left #uss-coronado [20:02] ::thinks about that:: Yeah, I suppose y'all are right. [20:02] =.\ction= Ship's condition is currently: Red Alert . [20:03] M> Bloody ... I shall need a third unit of O-. Please hurry. [20:03] =.\ction= Coro's undefinable rumble comes back to life. The aft board looks very strange though. The plasma comes out of the reactor, seems to disappear, then seems to reappear at the nacelle struts, with no visible means of getting from A to B. [20:03] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:03] << We haven't done that part yet!!>> [20:03] M> And please begin a vascular knitting procedure, starting here and through to here. Thank you. [20:04] ::raises an eyebrow:: What...on Earth...did they do? [20:04] ::blinks:: He restarted without authorization... security... nevermind. Time for that later. [20:04] <> [20:04] ::hearing the change in pitch, leans forward and checks her console to see if slipstream is available:: [20:04] E> Gannsen are we ready for our next miricale? [20:04] Helm, set a course for the action and prepare to engage as soon as we have slipstream available. [20:04] =.\ction= For the moment, main power is back, but slipstream is still off-line. [20:04] X2> ::looks back to Ironside:: So you're leaving? We could use you, especially if things get serious. [20:04] <> [20:05] ::shakes head:: I'll lay in the course, but I'm no-go on the slipstream so far... [20:05] ::starts working on computing the appropriate course:: [20:05] E> Yup [20:05] As I said, when it's available, Commander. ::smiles tiredly:: [20:05] E> +taps+ Farley to D'rall [20:05] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:05] ::wonders briefly how long it's been since she's slept:: [20:05] Redeemer> +com+ Blackrazor pod 1, prepare to disconnect. ::closes the airlock:: [20:05] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:05] ::glances down at the ship's damage display, then looks at Tal:: We'll be limping the whole way with that crater in our hull. [20:05] ::glances at Savant, then looks at Drexler:: Without knowing how long my daughter will be in labour, I need to be on Reor as soon as possible. [20:05] +taps+ D'rall here. Tell me some good news Chief. [20:05] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:05] Razorpod> ::glances out the windows of the pod as they pull away:: Would you believe that's the first time anyone's taken me off an assignment? [20:06] E> +taps+ I need 2 of your warp capably shuttles [20:06] [CoroLCARS SOUND] [20:06] Redeemer> ::opens up some distance between Redeemer and the pod, then pushes himself out of the cockpit chair and starts making his way aft:: [20:06] X2> ::Savant reported in her automated-secretary tone:: Packets report that preparations for closing the tear are in order, and that a skirmish has developed with the Xur line. Coronado is currently effecting repairs. [20:07] ::a beat:: +taps+ Good news.
