○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing AA
Lt Sineade Darnell ::AA::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::AA in pain::
Ens Sean Darnell ::AA::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers ::attn::
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::AA::
○●LtJg Tholan ch'Fairia ::AA::
●●● Cmdr House Crew is at attention, Captain. ::Attn::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Thank you, Commander. I hope you all had a good week. And I hope you all read the game plan. Any questions before we begin?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing RH
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Yes, Nightwing?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Is Flower's chair ready on the bridge for her at tactical?
●●● Cmdr House Kara ate it.
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor There are adjustable seats built into the bridge that are normally flush with the floor and can be moved up by use of a control at each of the stations.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Alright that will work for her
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers [Actually there aren't, unless you're changing that, Captain. Only ones are the back and side stations, which can be pulled over to use]
Lt Sineade Darnell/Ens Darnell (or engineering just installed said chair specifically for Flower)
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor But as the game plan stated, everyone is back in condition and are no longer in pain and able to move easily even if not in top condition just yet.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Ok that will work too
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor ::Smiles:: And yes, Commander, there are, they just look like part of the deck design and not everyone knows that they are used for. Just like the holographic interfaces.
If there are no other questions....the wargames will resume and we will be leaving Regulus 1, heading to Andor. The Klingons are out there, somewhere, waiting to hunt us.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme none from me
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers None.
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Then places everyone.
ROCK~N~ROLL
Lt Sineade Darnell ::has made her way to Engineering, a little slower than usual::
Ens Sean Darnell ::enter the Bridge and takes over the OPS station:: Today is a good day to WIN!
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::walks over to tactical, still taking it easy::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Gets Sick Bay cleaned and ready for round 2 of the war games
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::Sits at Science station on bridge::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Sean got a question for you? Did you rig a disco ball to play in sickbay?
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Ensign Matthews> ::Sitting at Helm:: Evasives, ready Commander. I was thinking of heading back towards Vulcan rather than go directly to Andor.
Ens Sean Darnell a what in sickbay? That would be too cruel.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme a disco ball wiht the lights and sounds
●●● Cmdr House ::Stands up and shakes his head:: None of the above actually.
Ens Sean Darnell I might have , if I had thought of it. But no, Lt. It wasn't me.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers ::Steps out onto the Bridge and over to her station. Obviously looking better, for the most part.::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme hmm i wonder who it was ::logs into tactical and brings up her console to life;;
Ens Sean Darnell ::nods to Danvers:: Good to see you up and about.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers Thank you, Sean.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Starts prepping surgery trays in case they'll be needed
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Ensign Matthews> ::Looks at Commander House:: What are your orders then, Sir?
ACTION: The Klingons are in position, and watch the Aldrin getting ready to leave Regulus. The commanders all smile and put their plan into action.
ACTION: The Klingons are all cloaked
●● Lt. Flower Sheme okay time to find the cats
Lt Sineade Darnell ::makes sure all power systems are up and running to full operational capacity::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Nothing. We watch them first. Given we know a way to track them. Let them move first and then we move.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Commander... what if they are cloaked?
Ens Sean Darnell We need to find a good way to uncloak our foes permanently.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Having finished most of the trays she thinks she might need, heads up for the bridge
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi How do we find them if cloaked? Telepathy?
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers I don't see that we can do that without damaging them..well..fake anyway.
Ens Sean Darnell ::stars scanning for telltale plasma trails of the Klingon Vessels::
○● LtJG ch'Fairia/●Ens Tsuruchi I dont think the old exhaust trick will work
ACTION: For just a second, a Klingon ship appears behind them, heading out into the Andor sector, then vanishes. Then about a few minutes later, another Klingon ship appears behind them, heading into the Vulcan sector, and then vanishes.
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Well Telepathy would work yes.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Oh boy... Commander,... they have split up one going to Andor, the other going to Vulcan. I hope you have a plan C
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Gets to the bridge finally
Ens Sean Darnell they still leave a trail, even if it's a small one
●●● Cmdr House Track the signatures. Log them and display a color signature for all two of them.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Too bad we can't pop into a nebula and deploy some decoys to pull the old Shell game on them
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::does so::
●●● Cmdr House Tag a minature probe to the signatures, Joy.
ACTION: The third Klingon doesn't appear to be anywhere.
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Aye deploying probes ::Deploys probes::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme okay where is the final byrd
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Probably hanging around here waiting to follow us
●●● Cmdr House have you found the third yet, Darnell? ::looking to Nightwing:: We could, but the nearest one is well past Andor.
ACTION: A torpedo comes out of nowhere and is heading toward the Aldrin from behind the moon of Regulus 1.
Ens Sean Darnell ::nods :: Good question, we may need to be more .... intense in our ... INCOMING!!
●● Lt. Flower Sheme incoming torp!
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Ensign Matthews> Evasives, Sir?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme from behind the moon!
●●● Cmdr House Well that flogged my plans. Data-Epslion-3. Return fire. Compensate for them moving.
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::uses scans to pinpont the attacker::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :returns fire::
Lt Sineade Darnell ::sees the increase in power and knows the game is now afoot::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Ensign Matthews> Aye, Sir. Moving to avoid the torpedo and moves out of range of the moon. Direction, Sir?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Suggest flooding the area with tachyon particles to act as flour on the invisible man
●● Lt. Flower Sheme and give away our position?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing If we saturate the area they may not be able to pick it up that easily but we could pick them up
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi I used the torpedo trajectory and it came from this sector ::sents it to House and flower::
Ens Sean Darnell ::chuckles:: as if that had a problem with that
ACTION: Another torpedo comes from behind them, from the Andor sector.
●●● Cmdr House Not a bad idea, let’s let them do just that and see us. We're not cloaked yet anyway, and they can't fire when cloaked. Neither can we. Helm, get them to follow us. Right into the planet's coronasphere.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Torp on your bow!
●●● Cmdr House We'll use your idea, Doctor after we get to the other one headed for Andor.
Ens Sean Darnell ::launches countermeasure:: Well, isn't this exciting
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Okay just tossing ideas for you to consider
●● Lt. Flower Sheme They are firing from three angles!
Ens Sean Darnell May I suggest a third dimensional shift either up or down? Let their torps hit each other
ACTION: A third torpedo comes at the Aldrin from the Vulcan sector.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing Mutters-- too bad we can't place a homing device on them
Ens Sean Darnell ::tracking the torps trails to their sources:: Perhaps we can make then shoot each other
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers They track, so depending on the torpedoes, that isn't going to work. Not quite, but that kind of thing, its easier to avoid them if we can. Though I see now exactly what they are doing. Helm ignore the previous orders. They've got us in a triangle. ::Moves over to Joy:: Here's what I want you to do. Keep track on those signatures. Complate their patterns. Sean, work with her and Flower with the firing patterns.
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Not likely they will be in comms with each other
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers We're about to pull a sling shot on them.
Nightwing?
ACTION: Back tracking the torpedoes find they were fired by shuttles projecting full ship signatures, also cloaked, and then they all self destruct when found.
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Why do I have a bad feeling about this Sir?
Ens Sean Darnell ::nods:: Interesting.. working.. DAMN! Decoys!
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Sean?
Ens Sean Darnell Torps fired by decoys!
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Which means... SIR they are all right on top of us
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Then.. where do we go?
Ens Sean Darnell ::swears as he realizes they just used the same trick we had::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers The shuttles have a trail degradation from where they came from, if the tail pipe tracking isn't working, then that will.
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Suggestion Sir a 2 second burst of warp in to the edge of the sun
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers +Engineering+ Report
ACTION: ::A subspace comes to the Aldrin from Regulus 1, but it's the Klingons.:: Do you give up yet? Or do we get to actually hit you and win? Are you just going to sit there? I've heard that Starfleet overthinks things, which is why they are so easy to defeat.
Lt Sineade Darnell +Bridge+ All systems operational and ready
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi I need 3 minutes to make some adjustments to the shields Sir or we will burn!
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers ::Ignores it:: They really think they know what I'm going to do..::grins::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Ensign Matthews> Sir, if you don't mind my saying, you haven't done anything yet but watch and evade some torpedoes.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme He has a plan C up his sleeve
Ens Sean Darnell ::smirks at the over confidence of the Klingons::
Lt Sineade Darnell +Bridge+ Engineering is ready when you are
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Lt jg Smith> ::moves over and taps Matthews on the shoulder:: You are relieved. You don't smart off like that to your commanding officer. Go re-read your regs on bridge duty.
Lt jg Smith> ::Takes Ensign Mathews place:: Sir, Helm stands ready.
Ensign Matthews> ::Grumbles, but realizes he shouldn't have said that and leaves the bridge for now.::
Ens Sean Darnell ::continues to scan the area for any small anomalies nearby::
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers Well I just thought about it. I appreciate everyone's thoughts. They aren't here. The shuttles are a clue. They are left here on purpose. If they are here laughing, that leaves them vunerable. 360 degree phaser blast, in conjuction of where the shuttles came from. When that doesn't work, then, go with Joy's. Two second warp jump and hit them again.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme so full spread?
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::nods and moves over to flowers station:: MAy I?
●●● Cmdr House/●● Lt Danvers [He said phaser, not toprs]
ACTION: Klingon laughter comes loud and clear over the com channels, nothing else.
Ens Sean Darnell ::nods:: Phasers.. 360 Degrees, weapons systems ready for tactical
●● Lt. Flower Sheme :steps back but leans on Kara for the moment::
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi ::makes a series of adjustments to the ships shields so they dont go crispy::
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers ::'catches?' Flower:: You okay?
●● Lt. Flower Sheme just still a little not stable on my paws
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers Up and addem, Lieutenant. ::Smiles::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I am leaning against you
Lt Sineade Darnell ::Keeping an eye out for any power surges::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme Joy needed my station
● Ensign Oelh Joy Tsuruchi Thank you Flower all done
Ens Sean Darnell ::frowns, and uses he console to carry out the firing order::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing ;;goes over to check on Flower;;
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::pushes the doctor away and returns to her station::
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I am fine doctor
ACTION: More Klingon laughter as the Aldrin just sits there, not firing, not leaving in any direction, just sitting there like a bump on a log.
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers Well that wasn't nice.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::frowns and steps back:: Kara can you take over?
Ens Sean Darnell You all need to leave Flower alone so she can do her job
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers I can....you're not okay?
ACTION: It sounds like the Klingons are laughing themselves sick at the Aldrin. "These children need to go back to school and learn how to be warriors." One of them gasps through the laughter.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I want t o do my job. but it’s hot easy
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers ::Kara shook her head and moved over to hit the button to fire the phasers:: Now I have to agree...maybe you need to rest more, Flower.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing ;;tries searching out that Klingon to give him the Galaxy's worst migraine ever;;
Ens Sean Darnell it never is!
●● Lt. Flower Sheme yes Kara Commander, permission to leave the bridge?
ACTION: Nightwing can't find them, but laughter is heard over the com channels.
●●● Cmdr House If you're not well, then yes. We need you better, Flower.
●● Lt. Flower Sheme I just feel I can do my job if I can’t stand up straight
FREEZE
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::rfrozen;;
●● Lieutenant Kara Danvers ::cold::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing popsicle
Lt Sineade Darnell ::freezes::
Ens Sean Darnell ::Snowman::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor AT EASE
●● Lt. Flower Sheme ::paws::
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing melts
Lt Sineade Darnell ::AE::
Ens Sean Darnell ::a e::
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Great job tonight, everyone. I hope you all read the game plan and those who received commendations, please update your bios to reflect that. I can't wait to see what you come up with in logs. Time Between Sims will be 30 minutes. For log purposes, House's tactics of 2 minute warp bursts and then a 360 phaser spread, is what everyone will be doing.
Any questions?
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing rh
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Hey everyone!
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor We missed you tonight, Daniel. Actually, for the past few weeks. I hope you can make it next week.
Yes, NIghtwing?
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Sorry for missing out. But I just moved to my new home in Vegas.
○●● Lt Cmdr NightWing could we find a way to pin some homing beacons on the Klingons when we find them?
[●] Commodore Mardel Connor Ah....nice. I hope you are enjoy it.
●● Lt. Daniel Connor Now, I need to remember the new time zone so I can make it to sim next week.
