1[9:00] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme plays!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQzk09j2lZ8 **
2
3[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The whimsical music plays in stark contrast to the sight of the refugees in the spare rooms on the Pilgrim.  It cuts to T'Pang's ready room, focused upon a carrot cake cupcake.
4
5[9:02] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: T'Pang's log begins... **
6
7[9:02] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --stares longingly at the carrot cupcake on her desk. Then after summoning her will power she begins her log entry.---
8
9[9:04] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: Captain's Log, Stardate 97042.0, It has been a day since the attack on the rebel station by the forces of the Tanausan Imperium. ..
10
11[9:05] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: as a result we are now carrying 28 members of this rebellion,  including councilmembers Iso Denetaure and Hyrial dzo-Massadan hu-Brulla.
12
13[9:07] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: They have been providing us with as much assitence as they can, espeically on providing intel on the Imperium. The choice I have to make is just how much aid are we going to give back to these people
14
15[9:08] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: it is obvious that helping them complicates our goal of returning to allied space as soon as possible.
16
17[9:09] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: But, I can not in good conscience simply turn my back on these people. Especially considering it is largely our fault thier station came under attack. They did  not need to render us aid.
18
19[9:11] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: So the moral choice seems clear, to render what aid we can even though that place this ship and crew at great risk. Toward that end I am consider a bold maneuver with tremendous potential for
20
21[9:12] [DOIC] T'Pang@Demoncherub: reward, and a very high risk of disaster. The senior staff will meet in about twenty minutes to discuss the matter. End Log.
22
23[9:13] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she picks up the cupcake and gives the frosting a little lick.--
24
25[9:13] [DOIC5] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Muttered to himself unhappily as he had to put himself through the dishonour of yet another shower after his workout.*
26
27[9:13] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali sits in her office going over the scans of the new passengers, ensuring the file opened for each is accurate and containing any alert markers needed for their physiology...* "McCoy, please ..."
28
29[9:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *Marcus worked in the Conference room many padds were on the table and a Prowler schematic was on th elarge screen.*
30
31[9:14] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Double check to make sure I didn't miss anything. You are the xeno specialist on board."
32
33[9:14] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks over the data on a PADD--
34
35[9:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Vaylith if you could join me in the conference room I am I need of second opinion.
36
37[9:14] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li is at his post in main engineering.*
38
39[9:15] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Captain to Lieutenant Zorin Li.=/\=
40
41[9:15] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Stands on the bridge at ther console, hand resting on her console. as her commlink goes off she tapps it.* =^= "Acknowledged."
42
43[9:16] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he taps a button the padd he is working on and it brings up the internals of the sentry class side by side.
44
45[9:16] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Nothing pressing.  One of the Nirizean couples are first cousins.  Possibly cultural."
46
47[9:17] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Li here.
48
49[9:17] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he turns sighing* We seem to be presented two choices for targets both classified as hard in their own ways.
50
51[9:17] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Arches an eyebrow.*
52
53[9:18] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A third likley encounter with new vessel class labeled "Command Carrier" For simplicity's sake would result in immediate mission failure.
54
55[9:18] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he pointed at a padd on the table*
56
57[9:18] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Between you and me, I am hoping we will not have them on board long enough for maternity to be an issue."
58
59[9:18] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Mister Li I was curious if you had come up with any ideas for possibly getting a message through to alliance space, to get a message back home.=/\=
60
61[9:18] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin took a tiny break from his work to eat some yogurt in a corner*
62
63[9:19] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: So we are left with prowler and sentry targets.
64
65[9:19] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Noted."
66
67[9:19] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Not really ma'am...we're still working on it.
68
69[9:20] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Istrin!"  *He barked across the room.*
70
71[9:20] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Understood. I would like for that project to be given a higher degree of priority if that is possible.=/\=
72
73[9:20] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The prowler presents a few problems One the the mayflower can't actually fit in its docking bay.
74
75[9:21] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: But its also the most likely target to be alone and has the fewest crew in need of incapacitating.
76
77[9:21] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Yes captain.
78
79[9:21] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Dispassionately looks at Marcus.*
80
81[9:21] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=I understand you and your people have a lot on your plate right now. But, I have the fullest confidence in your ability to deal with it.=/\=
82
83[9:21] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he pulls up the ship* We would have to proceed under phase cloak then declaok and board before they know what is going on and while we are under their shield canopy.
84
85[9:22] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he dropped his yogurt on the ground and nonchalantly looked over* hmm?
86
87[9:22] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Clean whatever that white drippy shite is off your chin and be ready to come to this fucking staff meeting with me."
88
89[9:22] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Hyrial has provided ample intelligence on deck layout to plan movements to minimized flanking angles and potentially avoid trippign internal alarms. But this mission would require a very small >
90
91[9:23] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: boarding team of specialists.
92
93[9:24] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I have worked up several strike plans based on encounter style and space. *he points a padd for her to consume quickly*
94
95[9:24] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sighs before taking a bite of her cupcake.--
96
97[9:24] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he rolled his eyes, kneeling down to clean up his mess* I won't take your seat this time, promise.
98
99[9:24] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Brandt]  *He nonchalantly stepped out of the jefferies tube wearing a Quark's t-shirt.*
100
101[9:24] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Specify -how- we get onboard the vessel after assumed abilility to re-phase within thier shield." *Places her hand on the PADDs in turn.*
102
103[9:25] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she frowns as a dab of the frosting drops on her uniform.--
104
105[9:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: =^= Thank you captain.
106
107[9:25] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li looks over at Brandt.* Why are you out of uniform?
108
109[9:25] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Well you can't sit on my lap, either."
110
111[9:25] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A few ways. Hyrial believed if we decloaked at lower power and EVA'd to a maintenance hatch we may be undetected.
112
113[9:25] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "dammit."
114
115[9:26] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Sentry class vessels remove that problem.
116
117[9:26] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Brandt]  "Ohh... out of uniform?  Wow, I just noticed!  Ha ha!"  *He quickly hid his arm behind his back.*  "I'll go change!"
118
119[9:26] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --takes the napkin and starts wiping the frosting off.--
120
121[9:26] [DOIC2] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *She just smeared it around and made it worse.*
122
123[9:26] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It seems... unlikely... a hatch to the exterior of a vessel is not significantly secured, not to mention efficiently alarmed."
124
125[9:26] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: They have a rather large probe hanger that the mayflower could potentially fly directly into, then could decloakd with a full strike team. As logn as we move with transport inhibitors and let delta >
126
127[9:27] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he made a face* Sorry, you're just not my type.
128
129[9:27] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Go.
130
131[9:27] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --gets up and moves to the replicator to get a detergent pen to take care of the spot.--
132
133[9:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: do their job we coudl take the ship but the risk is higher as there are more crew and sentry's are often not alone.
134
135[9:27] [DOIC5] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "Long as we're on the same page."  *He turned and headed off.*
136
137[9:28] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We would need to force the hatch while disconnecting alarms. Which means bringing someone familiar with the enemy ship designs.
138
139[9:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she uses the pen to clean the effected area.--
140
141[9:28] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Brandt]  *He sprinted out of engineering at a surprising speed.*
142
143[9:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Makes his way to the bridge once the time draws closer, leaning on a railing and giving a look to Jagoda, eyes narrowing as if to determine if he's eating anything.*
144
145[9:29] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Do we have reliable intelligence the opposing element do not possess multiphasic shielding nor multiphasic forcefields?"
146
147[9:29] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Sentry plans are filled under Equinus Illium.
148
149[9:29] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [McCoy]  "Fairly sure that'd signify a failure of some nature, yeah."
150
151[9:29] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It would seem they have not had the need to develop the technology.
152
153[9:30] [DOIC5] Istrin@the5of435: *he wiped the hidden yogurt from his chin and procured himself a PADD for the excellent note taking*
154
155[9:30] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --taps her comm badge-- =/\=Captain to Lieutenant Commander Gayle.=/\=
156
157[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He paused, then turned to stare back at T'Ghor.*
158
159[9:30] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Are we certain?"
160
161[9:30] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Looking at the timestamp* "I should go to the meeting.  Page me if there is anything the nurses cannot handle."
162
163[9:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Here, Captain."
164
165[9:30] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes.
166
167[9:30] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Maggie, I'll be on coms if you need me."
168
169[9:30] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Understood."
170
171[9:31] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Hyrial's intelligence is not that out of date. The idea of a phase cloak was so alien to him he didn't believe it possible.
172
173[9:31] [DOIC4] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rigby]  "Yes, ma'am."  *She was leading Brandt to a biobed with a nasty burn on his arm.*
174
175[9:31] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Gayle can you make sure that out rebel guests have a representative at the meeting. I want to get thier input on this venture.=/\=
176
177[9:31] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Frankly I still think it also impossible *he chuckles*
178
179[9:31] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yet it works.
180
181[9:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Watches Jagoda for a moment, evaluatingly, before nodding.*
182
183[9:31] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Prowler attack plans are filed under Vesuvius.
184
185[9:32] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "I'll let them know, ma'am.  I believe the guy with the really long name was their tactical guy."
186
187[9:32] [DOIC1] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Stepping out onto the bridge, she waits till everyone begins heading for the conference room.*
188
189[9:32] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Decloaking inside another vessel, even without it possessing multiphasic shielding is..." *She pauses and looks at the window for a moment.* "The individuals deemed to partake in such operations >
190
191[9:32] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Right, he may be the best choice then.=/\=
192
193[9:32] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > should be non key to the pilgrims survival nor return journey."
194
195[9:33] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That's why sentry utilizes delta heavily.
196
197[9:33] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He just looked weirded out and turned back to the console.*
198
199[9:33] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: So...we need to brainstorm ideas on how to get a potential message to the Citadel.
200
201[9:33] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And Security. It's a brute force attack estimated 30 percent casualty rate.
202
203[9:33] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The prowlers attacks are risker for total mission failure but much lower casualty rate.
204
205[9:34] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "As long as the captain is ready for it to be 100%."
206
207[9:34] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at the spot where the frosting hit, trying to decide if it looks good enough.--
208
209[9:34] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: In event of success.
210
211[9:34] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Indeed. There is no way this is not bloody.
212
213[9:35] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "Soo... what if we equipped a probe to slipstream and bounce a message to the Citadel?"
214
215[9:35] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --heads out of the ready room--
216
217[9:35] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods at T'Pang.* "Captain."
218
219[9:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she is reading from a PADD as she crosses the bridge, she nods politely--
220
221[9:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Captain."
222
223[9:36] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is my assessment that the prowler variation, even if in overall prefered, Relies on elements deemed as... highly inprobably. Unless such is ammended. It is not to be recommended."
224
225[9:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Gayle, is it time?"
226
227[9:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Yes, ma'am."
228
229[9:36] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Equip a probe to slipstream?
230
231[9:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "alright then, lets do this."
232
233[9:37] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I figured you'd say that.
234
235[9:37] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "...That's what I said, right?"
236
237[9:37] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she enters the conference room--
238
239[9:37] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The Sentry Variation is likely to fail, Leaving the opposing forces with a intact phase cloak capable vessel. As well as significant damage to our morale with a 100% casulty rate."
240
241[9:37] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  =/\= "Senior staff, report to the conference room."
242
243[9:37] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Heads after T'P.*
244
245[9:38] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Lieutenant Commander Vaylith. Mister Aquila."
246
247[9:38] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Captain.
248
249[9:38] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods and goes to sit down after T'P has taken her place.*
250
251[9:38] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *near mechanically turns aboutface to look at T'Pang, standing to attention.* "Captain, Doctor."
252
253[9:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: I want an explanation of the practically of that when I return. Kol, you have engineering.
254
255[9:39] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *nods to each*
256
257[9:39] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *practicality
258
259[9:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  "To be fair, it was poorly worded."
260
261[9:40] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Kol]  "I was put on the spot, okay!"
262
263[9:40] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *near mechanically turns above face once again to dispassionately stare at Marcus.*
264
265[9:41] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  *The enormous, dark-skinned man stepped into the room, bioluminescent spots and stripes making patterns on his visible skin.*  "Captain T'Pang.  I was requested?"
266
267[9:41] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he nods the hyrial.*
268
269[9:42] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods to Hyrial-- "yes, we are discussing an important matter and would like to have your input."
270
271[9:42] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Bridge.
272
273[9:42] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "Of course, Captain T'Pang."  *He stood at the end of the table, clasping his wrist in front of him.*
274
275[9:43] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looked to t'pang*
276
277[9:44] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He sat at the table, leaving a gap chair between himself and Dahlia.*
278
279[9:44] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin carrying a PADD appeared behind Rhys and totally found a chair to sit in*
280
281[9:45] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She murmured to T'Ghor,* "Didn't know Engineering was so far away."
282
283[9:45] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Sitting reading a PADD, takes no notice.*
284
285[9:45] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Quietly replied to Gayle.* "He doesn't get half the comms I do from the bridge, he may not have heard."
286
287[9:46] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li walks in the room, taking a seat.*
288
289[9:46] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Takes a PADD, steping a few steps forth to Marcus, hands it to him and then takes a position by the wall.*
290
291[9:46] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Gayle-- "is this everyone?"
292
293[9:46] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he stretched his neck and set the screen to neutral.*
294
295[9:46] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I believe that's all of us... at least, those of us not tied to their bed by a Cardassian."
296
297[9:46] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looked over the padd vaylith just gave him*
298
299[9:46] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Good then lets get started."
300
301[9:47] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "..You are all probably wondering why you have been asked here."
302
303[9:47] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Gives T'Pang a look at that.*
304
305[9:48] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "..or perhaps with the ship's gossip pipeline maybe not..."
306
307[9:48] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looks like he hasn't slept much*
308
309[9:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She raised a brow.*
310
311[9:48] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She raised a brow.*
312
313[9:49] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I don't believe I am being I am being hyperbolic in saying that what we decide here may literally decide the ultimate fate of the Pilgrim and her crew."
314
315[9:52] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Decisions have been made, and we have chosen to align ourselves with the rebel forces. This is an action I don't believe the Imperium will be able to over look."
316
317[9:53] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "That is unlikely.  The Imperium does not forgive, and keeps a long memory."
318
319[9:53] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Unfortunately for us they have a tactical advantage over us. and with our slipstream charges running dangerously low, it does not look like our running them is going to be an option."
320
321[9:54] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "fighting them directly is not an option, without some serious upgrades to our tactical capabilites."
322
323[9:55] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "to put it bluntly we are running low on options. This meeting is to explore what options we have available to us."
324
325[9:56] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.*
326
327[9:56] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "One option that has been floated, that normally I would not consider..but, in this situation I feel it must be explored, is to seek out one of the Imperiums smaller vessels and attempt a boarding...
328
329[9:57] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: opertion using the Mayflower's phase claok technology."
330
331[9:57] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I have assigned Lieutenant Aquila to explore some possible scenarios."
332
333[9:57] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "So we'd... raid one of their ships?  Is that the kind of crew we want to be?"
334
335[9:58] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "it si not the kind of crew we want to be, but we are running out of options."
336
337[9:58] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "What if we just kept going?  Far enough away from their borders?  Would they bother pursuing us?"
338
339[10:00] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is one option, to keep running. But, they are faster than we are. Unless we use the slip stream, but without detailed navigation maps we can make only short range jumps..not enough to let us ...
340
341[10:00] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: escape."
342
343[10:00] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Does the Imperium have an analog to slip stream with a fuel we could use?"
344
345[10:00] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "And then we're left with thirty people without a home living on our ship, to boot."
346
347[10:00] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Without the starcharts doctor we can't slip our way out of their space.
348
349[10:01] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Mhmm, "
350
351[10:01] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods to Dali-- "I don't know doctor. Even if they do we would still  have to take it from them."
352
353[10:01] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "We're lucky we didn't end up inside that planet when we did that blind jump.  We nearly cracked their atmosphere."
354
355[10:02] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And we only traveled 10 lys
356
357[10:02] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We have four jumps left at current fuel consumption.
358
359[10:02] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Regardless of distance Lt Zorin can probably explain in more depth.
360
361[10:03] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "And as Ryhs pointed out we have 28 guests on board. Unless we just plan on dropping them off somewhere to fend for themselves we have to figure out what to dow ith them."
362
363[10:03] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: As the captain said we looked at several options given the Intelligence provided by Councilman Hyrial.
364
365[10:03] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* It's not about the distance, it's about what's needed to initiate the jump.
366
367[10:03] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "We have safehouses we could retreat to... but they are all within Imperium borders."
368
369[10:04] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The truth is they need a ship as much as we need the star charts.
370
371[10:04] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she nods to Hyrial-- "right which would be impossible for us to get you there under these circumstances."
372
373[10:04] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "indeed Mister Aquila."
374
375[10:05] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "Indeed.  I would agree with the plan... my people need a ship, and your people need the navigational charts.  We would be willing to assist you in this endeavour."
376
377[10:05] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "The best way you can help is with technical information."
378
379[10:06] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A fact he has willingly provided captain.
380
381[10:06] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Mister Aquila have you come up with any ideas?"
382
383[10:06] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: A few.
384
385[10:06] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And One from vaylith as I expected that get around some of the flaws of the others.
386
387[10:07] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Ma'am, if we're implicated in this, we could give the Dark's people ammunition to say we're not the people we claim to be."
388
389[10:07] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "perhaps we can start with you giving us some details on what you have come up with, then we can open the table to some suggestions and questions."
390
391[10:07] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i understand the potential ramifications of this action Gayle."
392
393[10:07] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: As you know we have encountered two types of enemy vessels so far. We have designated them Prowler and Sentry class as you know. What hyrial has informed of us of is a third classification of vessel.
394
395[10:07] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --turns her attention to Aquila.--
396
397[10:08] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  *She frowned, but listened.*
398
399[10:08] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he pushes a button and  massive nearly 5km vessel appears dwarfing the others with adagio for scale* I have desgnated this a Command Carrier. It has a neame in their language but the translation is
400
401[10:09] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: very long. and not much shorter in its own language.
402
403[10:09] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If we see this we run.
404
405[10:09] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Someone's compensating for something."
406
407[10:10] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Fortunately Hyrial says theyre are less than two dozen in the navy. The bulk is made up of prowler wings and sentry suppoorts. The doctrinal approach actually provides us with a potential opening.
408
409[10:11] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Sentry's will often detect soimething at great range then send a Prowler to investigate. if the Prowler reports back contact thwo others will immediately join in. We have already witnessed this >
410
411[10:11] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: approach in action when we tripped the station.
412
413[10:12] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: An attack on a sentry vessel is possible but deamed to high risk given our numbers and their sensor suites.
414
415[10:12] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Best case scenario we lose 30 percent of delta and Mr Rhys's teams.
416
417[10:13] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  *He glanced briefly at Istrin at 'thirty percent.'*
418
419[10:13] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: So I recommend not following that path.
420
421[10:13] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: As likley case is 60 percent or total mission loss.
422
423[10:13] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --frowns, looks down uncomfrotably-- "that seems prudent."
424
425[10:14] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Rests his chin on his hands, listening quietly for now.*
426
427[10:14] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "This prowler class, supports how many crew?"
428
429[10:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Around thirty to fifty.
430
431[10:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Similiar to a defiant.
432
433[10:14] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin shifted a bit in his chair, giving marcus his attention still*
434
435[10:15] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Less to dispose of..."
436
437[10:15] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --shifts uncomfortably at T'Ghor's comment.--
438
439[10:15] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The fortunate thing is the sensor suite on the prowler is designed to be complimented by the ELINT from a sentry and other prowlers. This has left it a weak spot due to their RN-74 power systems.
440
441[10:16] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he pulls up the screen and it shows a red area just between the two shoulder like weapons platforms in the aft of the ship*
442
443[10:17] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The intial plan was to move the mayflower on approach into this blind spot, decloak eva to this maintenance point override and enter the ship with a small team. But that relies on being able to open >
444
445[10:17] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: the hatch. Which is a long shot at best.
446
447[10:17] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Vaylith offered an updated plan utilizing transporters. But that also questions I did not know to ask Hyrial.
448
449[10:18] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Before we go any further, Li we could work up a biosignature mask in our armor right, if you had the right midifications from the doctor to make us look dead.
450
451[10:18] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: This could get around intruder detection systems.
452
453[10:20] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Wait, make you look dead?":
454
455[10:20] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Mask our lifesigns.
456
457[10:20] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am not sure simply being dead would prevent detection."
458
459[10:21] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "they will have motion detectors."
460
461[10:21] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Unless Hyrial what are the interal detection systems like. You seemed to think we could infiltrate through the hatch and maintain stealth. Would a beam in be detected.
462
463[10:21] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Masking biosigns, by inverse canceling is possible, but dead... *shakes her head*
464
465[10:21] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "It most certainly would be."
466
467[10:22] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And that hatch you are certain it can be opened from the outside?
468
469[10:22] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we have to be as stealthy as possible but assume we will fail at that. The Prowlers response will be to attempt to contact thier fleet. That signal can not get through."
470
471[10:22] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looks at vaylith a moment*
472
473[10:23] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Dispassionately observes Marcus.*
474
475[10:23] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "It's possible, but not while the ship is powered on.  They'd be alerted immediately by their VIA."
476
477[10:23] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to T'P.* "If Commander Gayle cannot hack into their systems, I could attempt several emissions from our deflector. Not jam the signal per se, but keep it bouncing around and around, not >
478
479[10:23] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Reaching it's target."
480
481[10:24] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Try and create a very small-scale confusion of the type ion storms work on."
482
483[10:24] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: 'Question, do we have a way of disabiling the VIA or subverting it?"
484
485[10:24] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Vaylith at that."
486
487[10:25] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he looked back at the readout*
488
489[10:25] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "There are cracked VIAs on the black market that can bypass other VIAs, but they are not cheap.  And it's doubtful one can crack a military grade VIA."
490
491[10:27] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Vaylith you have the most experience with these VIA systems, do you think it possible?"
492
493[10:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he rubbed his chin*
494
495[10:27] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You don't happen to know how to crack one yourself, or know someone of the refugees who can?"
496
497[10:28] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *He looks to Hyrial.* "We have managed to acquire one, but it may need some work."
498
499[10:28] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Flips a PADD in her palm as she turns her gaze to T'Pang.*
500
501[10:29] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "We have created a enviroment to satefly and efficiently study the captured VIA. The intent is to add to it what was learned from the station systems. Some security features >

504
505[10:32] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > This is a preliminary assessment. I can provide a more specific after tests has been conducted, Captain."
506
507[10:32] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he type son his padd changing the assault plan on the screen*
508
509[10:32] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --folds her hands on the table-- "understood, we will need and answer to taht question quickly. This whole operation may hinge on that answer."
510
511[10:33] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "If we could secure further samples of hteir VIA technology, it would enhance the simulations we run."
512
513[10:33] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *it now shows the mayflower sendign a via hack... if accepted, maybeflower then decloaks and beams in while someone controls from the ship*
514
515[10:33] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *Strike team continues on as originally layed out toward control subsystems to take down ship for pilgrim full capture operation*
516
517[10:34] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "..true more data would help, but to get that data we will have to be able to disable thier VIA systems already..something of a catch."
518
519[10:34] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: This way we could be sure if it was going to work before attempting capture.
520
521[10:35] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Or atleast before attempting stealth approach. if Via fails mayflower decloaks and targets the power systems while pilgrim attacks and we take it hard.
522
523[10:35] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Councilor Hyrial spoke of safehouses. Assessed option of dispatching the mayflower to them to recover assets to enhance probability of mission success, Captain?"
524
525[10:36] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Hyrial.--
526
527[10:37] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We are pressed for time, the Imperium is actively looking for us and the Pilgrim has limited options for hiding."
528
529[10:37] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "I... am not certain, Captain, you want to risk going into Tanausan borders for more people to supplement your boarding party?  How large if this Mayflower?"
530
531[10:37] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "even in the Mayflower I am not sure I want to risk sending people back into Tanausan space."
532
533[10:38] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Not large enough for people.
534
535[10:38] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Correction, Equipment. Modern VIA's. intelligence." *Nods* "Understood, Ma'am."
536
537[10:39] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i would authorize it if thre was some critical piece of tech or intelligence we needed."
538
539[10:39] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he paused looking at a nexus of power nodes* Li could you come look at this for a second while they discuss.
540
541[10:40] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* Of course.
542
543[10:40] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "I don't know of anything like that in any of the safehouses.  And we don't have the resources to buy cracked VIAs, usually, and those wouldn't even work against the military."
544
545[10:40] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Any information on how to disable one?"
546
547[10:40] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "You shoot its power source until it stops working."
548
549[10:41] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *to li* You see this power nexus here What do you think would happen if we beamed in a charge here and detonated it.
550
551[10:41] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Then it has a power source completely separate from ships' systems?"
552
553[10:42] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "Of course it does.  And it's also hooked into the ship's systems.  VIAs are some of our most advanced technology, they've been improving on it for nearly two million years."
554
555[10:42] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "A modern VIA would enhance the accuracy of the simulations. The VIA we have access to is dated. Combined the data we coudl extract has a higher probability of efficiently estabelishing a realtime >
556
557[10:42] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Gives T'Pang a look.* "Two million." *He huffs.*
558
559[10:42] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > method to efficiently combat the VIA kernel."
560
561[10:43] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I would love to get you a modern VIA to examine, but they are not just going to give us one."
562
563[10:43] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Indeed."
564
565[10:43] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: It would probably cause some sort of chain reaction.
566
567[10:44] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "I don't know much about VIA tech, but I know that when an update comes out, an older version can link up with another VIA to download the update."
568
569[10:44] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Destroy it? Damn.
570
571[10:44] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "If we had control of an ancient VIA and maintained control of it through a systems update..."
572
573[10:44] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Quite, Commander..."
574
575[10:44] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Possibly, it could also possibly disable it.
576
577[10:45] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We only have to figure out how to get our current ancient one to obey us properly.'
578
579[10:45] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The 90% of it we possess."
580
581[10:45] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That might be worth running simulations on. We do have the scans of the ones that chased us and now we know what to look for.
582
583[10:45] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If only to give us another option for ingress.
584
585[10:45] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes, Commander... the 90% of it."
586
587[10:46] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "so how much of a plan do we have here?"
588
589[10:46] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li nods.* It would be worth investigating.
590
591[10:46] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Captain. it would seem the main part we don't have is how to get aboard the ship undetected.
592
593[10:47] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The VIA would likely be the best way to preserve the Prowler. Li and I may have a louder option to disable the ship but it could mean we'd have to abandon it after the Intelligence had been extracted.
594
595[10:47] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It could also destroy the ship.
596
597[10:47] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I think the key to getting on board undetected it to find a way to either sieze control of the VIA system or to at least distract it long enough to sneak on board and disable sensors."
598
599[10:48] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Is getting onboard the vessel undetected a critical mission parameter. Or does get onboard quickly sufficient? It is my assessment the moment we are onboard, we will be detected regardless."
600
601[10:48] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Could forcing it to give our VIA a systems update and file verification distract it enough?  Especially considering it would be updating from two million years ago?"
602
603[10:49] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Here's hoping their connection is shit..."
604
605[10:49] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If we are going in fast. We coulld simply beam an operative and holding team into the control hub hold it while we took control.
606
607[10:49] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: I am not sure getting on board undetected is the critical element here. We need gain control before they can call for help, that is critical."
608
609[10:50] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Rhys]  "We'd be mashed potatoes if we had to go up against a flock of those things."
610
611[10:52] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: So it seems we have three options to consider.
612
613[10:52] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Would you agee commander vaylith. The VIA intercaed ingress, direct boarding action from the blindspot into the control hub and a holding action until mission specialist can take control.
614
615[10:53] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Or potentially detonating a beamed in charge in the power nexus disabling the ship and then full boarding action.
616
617[10:53] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The last is probably safest for the boarding team but riskiest for maintaining the asset.
618
619[10:53] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We want to give our allies the ship once we have what we need, and we don't have the facilities to repair extensive damage."
620
621[10:53] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The charge idea is... not optimal."
622
623[10:53] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Exactly but it still an option.
624
625[10:54] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "The other question I would have, are their systems integrated so far, as to know if disabling the VIA would make it impossible for us to recover star charts? or would that information be separate?
626
627[10:54] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *looked to hyrial.*
628
629[10:55] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Transporting in from the stated blindspot to as an efficient location to reach critical juncture as possible. Hinder vessel VIA by ancient VIA. External ECM to safeguard from distress signal. >
630
631[10:55] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > That seem to be... the so far most efficient method. That stated, It does not require significant to be more efficient then that."
632
633[10:55] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Nods once to Marcus.*
634
635[10:56] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I agree. And would support this plan. *he made the updates*
636
637[10:57] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods to Vaylith-- "i think that about summs up our most efficient option here. lets look into filling in the details here.""
638
639[10:57] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It requires the prowlers do not possess constantly onlined transporter inhibitors like hte PIlgrim. If such it is to the hatch, and a significantly higher probability of failure."
640
641[10:57] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Falls back to the hatch
642
643[10:58] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Hyrial]  "A VIA is an administrative program.  It is the safeguard, not that which stores the data itself?"
644
645[10:58] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I may have an idea on the hatch, but it is a risky one... and would require the Pilgrim to be detected."
646
647[10:58] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I think that would be a mistake."
648
649[10:59] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am hoping to keep the Pilgrim back out of harms way."
650
651[10:59] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I know, Captain. That is why I told you it is not the best idea, but if push comes to shove, we may need to do that."
652
653[10:59] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "if this goes horribly wrong we need to minimize our potential loses."
654
655[11:00] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "If Pilgrim is detected, the chances are very high that the prowler crew will immediately call in it's reenforcements.'
656
657[11:00] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The pilgrim can not be within sensor range of the operation, Change to that parameter changes mission nature at its core."
658
659[11:00] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ilkar]  =/\= "Bridge to Captain T'Pang.  I'm sorry to interrupt, but we're getting a very specific reading on LRS."
660
661[11:00] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods.* "I am counting on tractoring the thing. As such, it would be unable to maneuver and efficiently fire at us. Then fire off a quick secondary tractor to pull th-"
662
663[11:00] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to Vaylith.* "Quite so. It is what I said, it is not the best idea, but it is the only way to open the hatch I can think of without blowing it off."
664
665[11:01] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: =/\=Go ahead, what sort of reading?=/\=
666
667[11:01] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ilkar]  =/\= "The same readings we got back above Hessok Vridi... I believe it's the death cloud.  Or -a- death cloud."
668
669[11:01] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Lieutenant T'Ghor. Their sensors will pick up hte Pilgrim before we are in position. At that point, Opening the hatch is not relevant."
670
671[11:02] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *face going ashen*
672
673[11:02] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Raises a finger to Vaylith.* "The fuck?"
674
675[11:02] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Captain, did I hear right?!"
676
677[11:02] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --T'pang hangs her head, the look in her eyes says she has just died a little inside.--
678
679[11:02] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Once again gods ask for us to present ass...

681[11:02] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li rubs the bridge of his nose.*
682
683[11:02] [DOIC6] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Remains dispassionate as ever.*
684
685[11:02] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "yes mister T'Ghor."
686
687[11:03] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Shit. And no reinforcements this time."
688
689[11:03] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Everyone to combat stations."
690
691[11:03] [DOIC6] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Rushes out to his station.*
692
693[11:03] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he closed the plan as he left*
694
695[11:03] [DOIC6] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "take us to red alert."
696
697[11:03] [DOIC6] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Rhys and Gayle headed out immediately.*

699[11:03] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Red Alert.

701[11:03] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he pushes the button*

703[11:03] [DOIC6] Istrin@the5of435: *Istrin hurried off to go protect Li in engineering*
704
705[11:03] [DOIC6] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Deck 11.
706
707[11:04] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Walks to her station and places her palm on her console.*
708
709[11:04] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *The lighting on the ship changed immediately to red and edgy.*
710
711[11:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "do we have a visual?"
712
713[11:04] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Checking.
714
715[11:04] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *T'Ghor runs a scan to confirm the presence of a death cloud and its direction.*
716
717[11:04] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Entering medbay at a clip just after the lights turn red*
718
719[11:04] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he pulled up the tacscan*
720
721[11:04] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: Report.
722
723[11:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i suppose we should have anticipated this."
724
725[11:04] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ilkar]  "It's on the very edges of our scan radius, it's been skirting it."
726
727[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It knows we're watching it, then..."
728
729[11:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Does it seem to be tracking us?"
730
731[11:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Sulok]  "Ensign Brant's uniform jacket was caught in a plasma conduit, sir."
732
733[11:05] [DOIC3] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Brandt]  "DUDE!  SNITCH!"
734
735[11:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We have to assume it knows we are hear. and staying on the edge of our scan range is intentional."
736
737[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Ilkar]  "Unknown, Captain."
738
739[11:06] [DOIC3] Istrin@the5of435: *istrin looked over at the snitch, clipping his phaser to his belt*
740
741[11:06] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: **here not hear
742
743[11:06] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Be on alert ladies, and think happy thoughts. Be prepared for head games." *she says knowing if it comes to kill them, there is little they could do. She arms herself regardless.*
744
745[11:06] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: *Hyrial moved to the turbolift to be wooshed off.*
746
747[11:06] [DOIC3] Zorin Li@ClingingMars: *Li rubs the bridge of his nose again.* At your stations.
748
749[11:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "what is this thing waiting for?"
750
751[11:07] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Shall we activate salvation?
752
753[11:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: 'It -is- a death cloud."
754
755[11:07] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "That doesn't do anything against this thing."
756
757[11:07] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "maybe it is just to keep us contained until reiforcements arrive."
758
759[11:07] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Fun
760
761[11:07] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "They are.. yes, what the Commander said. "
762
763[11:08] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "as I recall we did not fair well against the last one."
764
765[11:08] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. No we did not. We needed three ships' worth of help."
766
767[11:08] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Strange. It is moving. But not on pursuit vector.
768
769[11:08] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "It swallowed the ship and killed like twenty people..."
770
771[11:09] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps we should simply take the gods favor and not ask why.
772
773[11:09] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "keep monitoring it. Get the ship ready to move, incase we need to make a fast getaway."
774
775[11:10] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Aye Captain.
776
777[11:11] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "...now I know what it feels like to be a mouse.."
778
779[11:11] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Caught between two cats, no less."
780
781[11:12] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods slowly to Gayle.--
782
783[11:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Looks to Gayle at that.* "One has to wonder..."
784
785[11:12] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: More like cat and a wolf.
786
787[11:12] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Captain, The entitys trajectory lines with a system. If we move slightly, we would be in range for directional LRS of that system."
788
789[11:12] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Exactly... In the case it is all one big coincidence... maybe we can use the wolf against the cat and run."
790
791[11:12] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Dali takes a moment to free her amulet from her sweater and holds it, praying for strength and forbearance.*
792
793[11:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "But that... that is a bridge we will cross when we come to it."
794
795[11:13] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "But the death cloud works for the Dark, right?  Why would it eat the Dark's people?"
796
797[11:13] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The dark rules with fear and terror.
798
799[11:13] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "maybe, can we move into long range sensor position wihtout the cloud detecting us?"
800
801[11:13] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The one we met. Who knows how many are there. And if all of them are sentient?"
802
803[11:13] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Perhaps a culling is a common method for ensuring obedience.
804
805[11:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "lets find out what is in that system."
806
807[11:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Even if it's not intentionally malicious to them, I imagine that if a ship of theirs gets caught inside it, it's in for a bad time."
808
809[11:14] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I can not assess the entitys range of detection."
810
811[11:14] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Nods to T'P, doing scanny scans at whatever range he can at the moment.*
812
813[11:14] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "well lets take the chance, helm move us into long range sensor range of that system."
814
815[11:15] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Yes, ma'am."
816
817[11:15] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The Pilgrim inched forward, remaining in the system.**
818
819[11:17] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "A warp signature is heading into the system, Captain.. the cloud seems to be following it."
820
821[11:17] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...It's pursuing prey..."
822
823[11:17] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "chasing someone?"
824
825[11:18] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Checking warp signature against known.
826
827[11:18] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he does the tactical match scan thing*
828
829[11:18] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Well its new.
830
831[11:18] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: For what its worth.
832
833[11:18] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Captain? May I suggest something?"
834
835[11:18] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Unfortunate."
836
837[11:18] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i wonder who...go ahead Mister T'Ghor."
838
839[11:19] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Hearing the news that the cloud is seeking another prey, she adds a prayer to the goddess to help guide the souls of that ship in their moment of trial.*
840
841[11:19] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The pilgrim used differing phase variations to hurt the cloud and get it to retreat from us, as well as an anti-graviton shield, if I remember right from the reports, to keep it at bay for longer...>
842
843[11:19] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Perhaps we should put that into effect."
844
845[11:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: ((The protector**))
846
847[11:20] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "put it into effect for what? are you suggesting we intervene?"
848
849[11:20] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. But it may come for us after it's done with them."
850
851[11:21] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And we know we cannot simply outrun a death cloud."
852
853[11:21] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "do we have any tactical protocols in place for a death cloud encounter?"
854
855[11:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  "...Yeah, I'm going to say no to spooky ladies who can turn into smoke."
856
857[11:21] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "They didn't ask."
858
859[11:22] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Jagoda]  *He grumbled.*
860
861[11:22] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "According to the reports, Protector attacked it with a combination of telepathy and a rotating-variance phaser."
862
863[11:23] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we don't really have a telepathy option.."
864
865[11:23] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Which would mean employing Ensgin Vaxx to do something he is untrained for.
866
867[11:23] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "It may just... pass by and leave us alone."
868
869[11:23] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "They used some kind of telepathic amplifier for it too..." *He nods to Gayle.* "Let us hope so."
870
871[11:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "it may, or it may circle back after it deals with the bigger prey."
872
873[11:24] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we don't really know."
874
875[11:24] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Interesting.
876
877[11:25] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am uncomfortable with simnply sitting back and watching people as they are consumed by this death cloud."
878
879[11:25] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Status of the entity?"
880
881[11:25] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Detecting a Prowler on the other side of the LRS Radius.
882
883[11:26] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "...Well our day just keeps getting better."
884
885[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --looks at Aquila-- "so the cloud is pusing the prey into them?"
886
887[11:26] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Analyzing.
888
889[11:26] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: *Watches the scans as well, huffing.*
890
891[11:26] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: No. Opposing direction.
892
893[11:27] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "is it just coindicence?"
894
895[11:27] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I think it's more like Lady Luck laughing at us."
896
897[11:27] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *grimaces* Possibly they are avoiding the same entity.
898
899[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "So these fuckers just roam free in dark space... lovely."
900
901[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "do we have any other options beside getting out of here before we are detected?"'
902
903[11:28] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: What if we don't leave.
904
905[11:28] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Captain?"
906
907[11:28] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Just hide here and hope no one sees us?"
908
909[11:29] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: THere is a large planet and lots of water.
910
911[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "The Tanausan ship is headed closer to us... it does not seem to have spotted us yet, it is not flying in an agressive manner."
912
913[11:29] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Its possible. We could hide and it would appear as if we crashed should they detect.
914
915[11:29] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Then we enact plan.
916
917[11:29] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "We are not really ready for our plan yet are we?"
918
919[11:30] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: No but tanusan will be here in.
920
921[11:30] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And there is a death cloud in the system."
922
923[11:30] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: twelve hours.
924
925[11:30] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It would detect us earlier unless we take measures to avoid it.
926
927[11:30] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "take us under the water then."
928
929[11:30] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "it's not in the system.  We detected it on long range, it's in another system."
930
931[11:30] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we will hide as best we can."
932
933[11:31] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "...Under water?  You sure, Captain?"
934
935[11:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Yes... but it is close enough to detect us, with telepathy as powerful as its. It's a matter of time until it kills its target and makes way for us."
936
937[11:31] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And it is much faster than the tanausans."
938
939[11:32] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If we go to warp i have little doubt the prowler will detect it.
940
941[11:32] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And then she will overtake us as well.
942
943[11:32] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Along with likely the hunting fleet.
944
945[11:32] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "And she will no doubt feel us if we just sit and do nothing too."
946
947[11:32] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If she already hasn't."
948
949[11:34] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The entity maye proceed on its way.
950
951[11:34] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "No. No it may not. It is pure malice."
952
953[11:34] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It exists to cause pain and fear."
954
955[11:34] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is my assessment we should not atempt to enact the plan to capture opposing vessels untill it is propperly ready. The plan is fragile. rushing it has a high probability of becomming a critical >
956
957[11:34] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > failure."
958
959[11:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "agreed it is not something we can rush and the presence of the cloud complicates matters."
960
961[11:35] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Agreed."
962
963[11:35] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Do we have any options here?"
964
965[11:35] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We are absent choice. Either is gamble.
966
967[11:36] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "I can spin up some escape routes that might not attract attention, but... they either backtrack us or take us way off course."
968
969[11:36] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Flee and risk detection by Tanusians. Hide, risk the death cloud on in bound.
970
971[11:36] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "do so."
972
973[11:36] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Yes. I can think of four type choices."
974
975[11:36] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "If we backtrack... we may be able to get to those safehouses."
976
977[11:37] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: And draw pursuit to them?

979[11:37] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "If we cross the Tanausan border, we'll definitely be spotted."
980
981[11:37] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "The safe houses are within Tenusian space."
982
983[11:37] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "we are not going to Tanausan space."
984
985[11:37] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Would the tanausans truly expect us to head sstraight back for their space?"
986
987[11:37] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: It does not matter.  They patrolled their boarder without fail.
988
989[11:38] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "We could find holes in these patrols... but very well."
990
991[11:38] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The fleet hunting us is likely an expiditionary force.
992
993[11:39] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If we had the intelligence for the area. But we have very little of that in this region of space.
994
995[11:39] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "So that's our plan?  Lay low, hope we're not noticed?"
996
997[11:41] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Quesitoning the chancelor of familiarity with the Entity may provide some insight."
998
999[11:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Hopefully..."
1000
1001[11:42] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Why can't we get a friendly death cloud for once."
1002
1003[11:42] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Helm do we have an escape vector yet?"
1004
1005[11:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Yes, but like I said... it'd be another big detour."
1006
1007[11:43] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "how big of a detour?"
1008
1009[11:43] [DOIC4] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Whispers her prayers for guidance and protection.*
1010
1011[11:43] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Two or three weeks, give or take?"
1012
1013[11:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that does not seem so bad."
1014
1015[11:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "You want me to set the course, then?"
1016
1017[11:44] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "would this course take us closer to Tanausan space or further away?"
1018
1019[11:44] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Further."
1020
1021[11:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Good then set the course."
1022
1023[11:45] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We still knwo very little about what owns this area of space captian.
1024
1025[11:45] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "Maybe it's -nice- Dark-worshippers..."
1026
1027[11:45] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "lets make some inquiries to our guests to see if they know anything."
1028
1029[11:45] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Or at least easily piratable ones..."
1030
1031[11:46] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Tamin]  "Course laid in, engage?"
1032
1033[11:46] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "engage."
1034
1035[11:46] [DOIC] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: ** The Pilgrim shot off into space unknown. **
1036
1037[11:47] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Let us hope we have not traded frying pan for fire.
1038
1039[11:47] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "You say that because you have never been in a death cloud, Aquila."
1040
1041[11:47] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --rubs her temples.--
1042
1043[11:48] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "I do not like running, but..."
1044
1045[11:48] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: That assume this is not the region of space that houses death clouds.
1046
1047[11:48] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "It is likely that everything past the black ocean is."
1048
1049[11:48] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "I mean, we still don't know if there's just the one or a bunch of them."
1050
1051[11:49] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Didn't the protector encase the previous one in ice in some Ancestor-forsaken world?"
1052
1053[11:49] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Then the trade is near certain failure, for an unknown possebility of success or failure."
1054
1055[11:50] [DOIC1] DGM Apocalypse@liorexus: [Gayle]  "She's been seen elsewhere since, T'Ghor."
1056
1057[11:50] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "Oh... lovely."
1058
1059[11:50] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *checks his tac scanner*
1060
1061[11:51] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "keep scanners alert for anything that may be tailing us."
1062
1063[11:51] [DOIC1] T'Ghor@bulgariandragon1: "On it, Captain."
1064
1065[11:55] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: No sign of pursuit for now.
1066
1067[11:55] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Permission to call up beta replacement and eat something captain.
1068
1069[11:56] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "yeah, that is a good idea."
1070
1071[11:56] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Get some rest. I think we are going to need it."
1072
1073[11:57] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: You'll have the updated mission plan by tommorrow Captain.
1074
1075[11:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "thanks you Mister Aquila, just make sure you get some rest."
1076
1077[11:58] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: I do suggest we work it into drill rotation once designed in the holodeck. It is likely when we deploy it will rely on some luck so the operators will need to be ready.
1078
1079[11:58] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "that is a good idea."
1080
1081[12:02] [DOIC1] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he called up brak then went into the conference room to clean up the padds and stuff*
1082
1083[12:02] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Captain?"
1084
1085[12:02] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Yes, Vaylith?"
1086
1087[12:03] [DOIC2] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *took the excess padds with all the intel and combat plans*
1088
1089[12:03] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --stands and turns to face Vay--
1090
1091[12:03] [DOIC2] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Jupiters fucking cock...
1092
1093[12:04] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "When you have the time. I request to converse. It is not of priority."
1094
1095[12:04] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I am not busy at the moment we can talk now. in my ready room."
1096
1097[12:04] [DOIC2] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The correct choice may yet stand the wrong one.
1098
1099[12:04] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *moves his ranting to 6
1100
1101[12:04] [DOIC1] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Nods*
1102
1103[12:05] [DOIC1] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --heads to her ready room.--
1104
1105[12:05] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he transfered all the data updates back to the main computer and recycled the padds*
1106
1107[12:05] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Anne, I am taking to food woulld you care to join?
1108
1109[12:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --sits at her desk and buries her face in her hands.--
1110
1111[12:06] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: *Follows T'Pang to the readyroom.*
1112
1113[12:06] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: =^= Perhaps in our quarters?
1114
1115[12:06] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --after a moment she looks up at Vay-- "what did you need commander?"
1116
1117[12:07] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: =^= "Sure, I'll be there soon."
1118
1119[12:07] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "How are you, Captain?"
1120
1121[12:07] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he made his way to their quarters*
1122
1123[12:07] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *upon entering he removed his jacket*
1124
1125[12:08] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i am feeling a little overwhelmed I think. it is terrible realization to learn one is at the bottom of the food chain."
1126
1127[12:08] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "It is."
1128
1129[12:08] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he clinched his fist and released them*
1130
1131[12:08] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *then he retrieved wine, real wine, loaded wine.*
1132
1133[12:09] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "I don't we have much of a chance of making it home."
1134
1135[12:09] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "No. we do not."
1136
1137[12:10] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "if we could get a message to the allies, then they would at least know what happened to us."
1138
1139[12:11] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *drinks his wine*
1140
1141[12:11] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Indeed, Captain." *Nods once.*
1142
1143[12:11] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Li and his engineering team are looking at options."
1144
1145[12:12] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *walking in, Anne walks up behind him and gives him a squeeze before dropping her jacket over the back of a chair and reaching for his glass of wine.*
1146
1147[12:12] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *she would find it was nearly lacking in wine*
1148
1149[12:13] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Noted. If we are unable to return. It is of strategic importance the phase cloak technology does not fall to the enemy, Ma'am."
1150
1151[12:13] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods-- "...if it comes to that we will destroy the technology."
1152
1153[12:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Risk is our business. I beleive that quote is written on every comand literature book on the inside cover.
1154
1155[12:14] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The truth is, what it means is managing risk.
1156
1157[12:15] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Indeed." *She takes a deep breath in a silent sigh.* "You will bring them to the Citadel, Captain."
1158
1159[12:15] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Finishing his wine, and making a face before giving back his glass* "My love, I think I need you to back up a bit.... what?"
1160
1161[12:15] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she looks at Vay-- "Not without a miricle."
1162
1163[12:15] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Were you not monitoring bridge channell.
1164
1165[12:16] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he refilled*
1166
1167[12:17] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Perhaps. Or perhaps it is achieved by another mean. But you will achieve it."
1168
1169[12:18] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "To be honest, I was focusing on prayers, I know most don't take it seriously, but... I thought it was the time."
1170
1171[12:18] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --she smiled at the borg-- "..Thank you. i appreciate the words of encouragment."
1172
1173[12:18] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: *he exhaled* The death cloud was moving away seeking other prey.
1174
1175[12:19] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Oh I heard it was after another terget, I was praying for them as well."
1176
1177[12:20] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "By my observations, even if it has prolonged our journey, the decisions you have taken, has been among the higher assessed for a survival of your collective."
1178
1179[12:20] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "Vay have we looked over the logs from the Pilgrim, under captain Zenov?"
1180
1181[12:20] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Yes but a prowler was in bound provided oppurtunity to enact plan even if on a time table.
1182
1183[12:21] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "i mean they were in a very similar position to us. How did they handle it?"
1184
1185[12:21] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "I preferred the idea of hiding... I don't think we are ready for that plan."
1186
1187[12:21] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *She goes to the globe and pours herself a glass of scotch.*
1188
1189[12:22] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: We would have had 12 hours to iron it out.
1190
1191[12:22] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: But I agree that running was the best choice at the time.
1192
1193[12:22] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: But will come a time where we must take the risk.
1194
1195[12:23] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "Assessing, Evaluating and adapting. Selecting thier moments, Focusing. Working as a collective, Maintainging morale as a collective."
1196
1197[12:24] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: "Yes, I think you are right, I am concerned though, that any efforts we take to disable a VIA, will make the mission a failure by corrupting the data we need."
1198
1199[12:24] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "..I am going to have to review some the logs, I mean surely with the crew they had they came up with some novel solutions. They had Captain Razzor and Captain REins on thier crew, they did not make
1200
1201[12:24] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: captain for no reason.
1202
1203[12:25] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --activates her screen, and starts flipping through files.--
1204
1205[12:25] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "They created many technical solutions to assist. There exist a file of a method of one way comunications. >
1206
1207[12:26] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --smiles-- "I like the sound of that."
1208
1209[12:27] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > There are files of the calculated risks taken, against... poor odds. My assessment is the keys is they took calculated, prcise risks, on thier conditions >
1210
1211[12:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: Its possible,
1212
1213[12:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: But if we have the ship we can take another.
1214
1215[12:27] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: If Hyrial has a fleet. he can truly have a rebellion.
1216
1217[12:27] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: --nods-- "everything we do from this poit forward is a calculated risk."
1218
1219[12:27] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: > Efficiently mitigating it and analyzing it, selecting the situatiosn to force probability. At such, they were devouted. Otherwise, they took care. Calculating, Planing. Calm."
1220
1221[12:28] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: The odds of us reaching home are small. We could potentially do more good aiding them in their cause.
1222
1223[12:28] [DOIC6] Dalliance@Gonz.0: *Frowning* "Are you giving up on getting home?"
1224
1225[12:28] [DOIC2] T'Pang@Demoncherub: "lets look into this one way communication device. it may have potential."
1226
1227[12:29] [DOIC2] Zalithya Vaylith@Illuice: "I believe the lesson at the academy is the dictation of battlefields. We must at a point fight them, But we shall chose the ground."
1228
1229[12:29] [DOIC6] Aquila@Captain_Riens: No.
